The disparity between Mrs. Rong Sr.’s previous and current attitudes was so astonishing it left people speechless. Lu Chengzhou nearly burst into laughter from the sheer absurdity. He couldn’t understand how such people exist in this world. Mrs. Rong Sr.’s current demeanor led those unaware of the facts to think that they were the ones bullying her. The truth was Mrs. Rong Sr. was downright malicious.

“Spoken in anger?” Ye Nanshen asked.

“Y-y-yes, it was just an angry outburst from an elderly lady like me,” Mrs. Rong Sr. stammered.

Ye Nanshen’s lips twitched into a faint smile. His handsome face was adorned with a grin that didn’t quite match his eyes, sending shivers down one’s spine. “I can let it slip,” he said. “But from this day on, if Little Qi suffers the slightest harm from the outside world, I’ll hold you responsible. Before laying a finger on her, think about how many lives you have for me to take in return.”

“Yes, yes,” Mrs. Rong Sr. stammered, her heart nearly stopping in fear. After agreeing to the terms, however, she felt a surge of resentment. ‘What did he mean by that? Am I to be blamed for any accident that befell Rong Qi in the future? Moreover, I am, after all, Ye Nanshen’s elder. How could he speak to me this way?’

Yet, even if Mrs. Rong Sr. mustered a hundred times the courage, she wouldn’t dare show off in front of Ye Nanshen. She could only keep her head low, like a quail ready to be hunted.

Ye Nanshen said no more, his face impassive.

Feeling she couldn’t stay another second, Mrs. Rong Sr. barked at Wang Qing and Rong Feiyu, then turned to leave. Just as she reached the door, she was blocked by Lu Chengzhou. His face was icy as he spoke, “Aren’t you going to apologize for what you just said?”

Mrs. Rong Sr.’s face tightened. She looked at Rong Qi, opened her mouth but closed it again. ‘Apologize to a nobody? Impossible!’

Before Mrs. Rong Sr. could voice her objections, she saw Lu Chengzhou tapping a surgical scalpel against his hand, a wicked smile crossing his lips. “Don’t worry. My hands are quick. Trust my years of surgical experience. I won’t kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead.”

Terrified, Mrs. Rong Sr. collapsed to the floor. She crawled toward Rong Qi. “I’m sorry, Little Qi. I misspoke. Can you forgive me? I’m old and can’t take a shock!”

Seeing Rong Qi unmoved, Mrs. Rong Sr. gritted her teeth and said, “I promise, I’ll never say anything like that again. You’re my granddaughter, a part of the Rong family. How could I treat you so? I should be spoiling you! I only spoke like that because your father angered me. We’re meeting for the first time, why would I have ill intentions toward you? Will you forgive me?”

Rong Qi looked down, finding the noise around her rather annoying. She said coldly, “I don’t know you well. Please leave.”

‘I don’t know you well, so your attitude doesn’t matter to me. Don’t use family ties to get close to me.’ Rong Qi thought.

Sometimes, indifference is the best revenge.

Mrs. Rong Sr. clenched her teeth and stood up, her body trembling. She asked Lu Chenghzou, “Can I leave now?”

“Get out,” Lu Chengzhou responded coldly, “and don’t let me catch you here again. If I do, I’ll have you thrown out. Remember, you may be Little Qi’s grandmother, but you’re certainly not mine.”

“Yes, sir.” Mrs. Rong Sr. nodded vigorously and hurriedly left with Wang Qing and Rong Feiyu.

As Lu Chengzhou closed the door behind him, he heard Rong Qi say, “He’s passed out. I’ll leave this to you.”

“No problem,” Lu Chengzhou said, approaching with a furrowed brow.

As Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen exited the hallway, Ye Nanshen’s phone rang. He answered it, his eyebrows furrowing. After hanging up, he said, “I’ll take you back to the university. Lu Chengzhou can handle things here.”

Rong Qi nodded. Ye Nanshen dropped her off at the university entrance, only leaving after he saw her safely inside..
