3298 Refuse to Apologize to Leng Xiaoyao



Although Zhou Jing knew that Leng Xiaoyao was very smart, she still encouraged her not to be nervous and not to feel any psychological burden.

Although Xiaoyao wasn't nervous and didn't have any psychological burden, she still humbly listened to her teacher.

…

The Leng family didn't pay attention to the news about Gao Qilu, so they didn't know about the fact that Leng Xiaoyao was splashed with sulfuric acid. Otherwise, they would have already visited the Gao family, regardless of whether they could do anything or not.

However, An Chenmeng and the others knew about it. Later, the An family and Ling Tianqi heard about it too. They were all very angry.

Yesterday, when they dined outside together, Leng Xiaoyao said that she needed to go out for a while. Unexpectedly, that incident happened.

Even though Leng Xiaoyao was fine, it didn't mean that they weren't angry.

…

When Leng Xiaoyao arrived at the airport in the capital city and turned on her phone, she saw several missed calls and messages from An Chenmeng and Ling Tianqi. She knew that they must have read the news about Gao Qilu.

Leng Xiaoyao didn't reply to each of them individually. Instead, she sent out a message in their WeChat friend group.

After that, she called Ling Tianqi.

"Xiaoyao, I read in the news that you were splashed with sulfuric acid because of Gao Qilu yesterday. Are you alright?" Ling Tianqi asked with concern. Because the surveillance video wasn't clear, he couldn't be sure. In addition, he cared about Leng Xiaoyao, so it was necessary for him to ask her how she was doing.

"I'm fine. My bag just got stained," said Leng Xiaoyao.

"Do you want us to do something to punish the Gao family?" Ling Tianqi asked. He was eager to take action against the Gao family when he heard about the accident, but the Gao family wasn't an ordinary family and it wouldn't be easy to take action against them.

Nevertheless, if Leng Xiaoyao needed his help, he wouldn't hesitate.

"No need, I'm fine. It's not necessary to go all out against Gao Qilu. The public opinion is enough for her to deal with." Leng Xiaoyao declined Ling Tianqi's offer.

"Alright, if you need anything, just let me know. Don't hesitate to call me." Ling Tianqi respected Leng Xiaoyao's decision.

Meanwhile, An Chenmeng's father called Gao Zhongheng directly.

"Chairman Gao, Your daughter doesn't have many moral standards! She actually laid her hands on my goddaughter." Mr. An said coldly. Although the An family wasn't as powerful as the Gao family, they were not afraid of them. After all, it was the Gao family's fault this time.

Since Mr. An stood out for Leng Xiaoyao, he needed an appropriate identity, so he directly referred to her as his goddaughter.

"Who is your goddaughter?" Gao Zhongheng's heart skipped a beat as he asked. He had already guessed that it was Leng Xiaoyao because there were rumors that the Leng family and An families were very close.

Unexpectedly, the An family indeed stood out for Leng Xiaoyao.

"Leng Xiaoyao." An Fu said.

It wasn't surprising.

Although the An family was only a second-rate wealthy family in terms of assets, their strength and connections wasn't inferior to the Gao family.

Gao Zhongheng could become the head of a first-class wealthy family because he wasn't a reckless and arrogant man. He always weighed the pros and cons of everything.

If he didn't suffer a loss, he would bully others without feeling guilty and wouldn't bother to explain why.

However, if his interests were threatened, he would still compromise when necessary.

Therefore, since the An family stepped in, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, it was indeed Gao Qilu's fault.

"This is indeed my daughter's fault. Fortunately, Leng Xiaoyao wasn't injured. Rest assured, Chairman An, I will take my daughter to apologize to Leng Xiaoyao. If compensation is needed, we will do our best to compensate," Gao Zhongheng said.

Mr. An stopped talking about it because he knew that if Leng Xiaoyao was fine, the incident wouldn't escalate further.

When Gao Zhongheng promised to apologize, he naturally meant it and went to talk to Gao Qilu about it.

As soon as Gao Qilu heard that she had to apologize to Leng Xiaoyao, she exploded in anger. "What? You want me to apologize to Leng Xiaoyao?! Why should I? No!"

She was still thinking about how to teach Leng Xiaoyao a more severe lesson. It was impossible for her to apologize!

Mrs. Gao couldn't accept it either. "Why should Qilu apologize when everything is fine? Why should we be afraid of the Leng family?"

"You're both idiots!" Gao Zhongheng said angrily, "An Weiping just called me and said that Leng Xiaoyao is his goddaughter. He asked me to give an explanation to her." He felt that his wife and daughter had serious issues with their intelligence.

"What? Ling Xiaoyao is An Weiping's goddaughter?"

This news surprised Mrs. Gao and Gao Qilu, but they still didn't think there was anything to be afraid of.

"The An family is just a second-rate wealthy family. We, the Gao family, are not afraid of them!" Mrs. Gao said.

"Shut up!"

Gao Zhongheng was furious and scolded them coldly. His icy gaze frightened Mrs. Gao and Gao Qilu completely.

"Do you think that just because you are Mrs. and Miss Gao, you can take all the Gao family's resources and expect the Gao family to unconditionally protect you? You are overestimating yourselves. I'm the most important member of the Gao family's business, but it's not just me who owns it. If you cause any harm to the interests of the Gao family, I, as the chairman, will be unseated. You only care about your own pleasure and teaching whoever you don't like a lesson. Have you ever thought about the interests of the Gao family? Without the Gao family, you are nobodies! If you can't bring benefits to the Gao family, then stop causing trouble for us. The An family is a second-rate wealthy family and isn't comparable to the Gao family, but if they try to harm us, we won't benefit from it either. Do you think the An family won't harm their own interests to help Ling Xiaoyao? Since An Weiping called me, it means he has control over the situation. Apologize and compensate a little so that nobody can make a big deal out of it. No one will lose anything. If you resist stubbornly, then get ready to go to jail! The Gao family won't sacrifice our interests to save you," said Gao Zhongheng.

Mrs. Gao and Gao Qilu were both scared at the mention of going to jail.

Although the news had really damaged Gao Qilu's reputation, it would soon be forgotten. However, if she went to jail, it would be a different story.

"Qilu, just listen to your dad!" Mrs. Gao couldn't accept the thought of her daughter going to jail.

Gao Qilu didn't say anything because she was unwilling to accept the result, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"Today is Sunday. The Leng family should be at home. Pack up and go with me to visit them." Once Gao Zhongheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

As soon as Gao Zhongheng left, Gao Qilu couldn't help but complain to her mother. "Mom, I don't want to apologize to Ling Xiaoyao. What about my reputation? Who is she to deserve this?"

However, then again, why did she bully Leng Xiaoyao?
