The Path of Revenge After Rebirth - Chapter 9
The birthday banquet, in the end, failed to conclude peacefully.
Because I stood my ground and confronted Lu Xinting, my parents finally returned.
They politely expressed their thanks and saw off all the guests in the hall.
Lin Jiu tried to play the same tricks in front of my mother, continuing to play the victim, but was blocked by a single, gentle smile:
“Sorry, Miss, matters of our Lu Family will be handled by ourselves. Please leave first.”
Lin Jiu choked, her eyes brimming with tears as she glanced at Lu Xinting, then finally turned and left.
When only Lu Xinting and I were left at home, my father finally spoke with an air of authority:
“Alright, now tell me what exactly happened.”
Before Lu Xinting could speak, I cut in:
“A while ago, a new transfer student arrived at school. On her very first day, she went crazy and poured water over herself, insisting that I did it-saying I was bullying her.”
“Only later did I learn that this person is the poor student brother has been sponsoring all along-her name is Lin Jiu.”
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Xinting suddenly looked up at me, shock written all over his face.
Surprised, aren’t you, brother?
Your secret affair with her was discovered by me so early.
I pressed my reddened eyes, my voice choked with emotion:
“Actually, I don’t blame her. It’s just a birthday, that’s all, I can let it go.”
“I’m just sad that brother didn’t believe me…”
After all, Lin Jiu isn’t the only one in this world who can pretend to be a white lotus.
With my tearful voice lingering in the air, my father delivered the final word:
“Enough. No matter who bullied whom, you are not allowed to cause any more trouble.”
“If this blows up and spreads outside, it will do none of you any good.”
“This matter ends here.”
