Chapter 716 - Stifle It in the Cradle? (1/2)

Wu You feels that he has drained up his saliva.

Yet, Xia Lu still doesn’t give him any response.

He finally realizes something and stops to look at Xia Shengtang. However, the latter has disappeared in his vision.

“That jerk…” Wu You is so angry.

“You, forget it. Since she is unwilling to marry you, let’s go back,” Wu Jinxiu says.

She didn’t think much when she came all the way here on her knees but now that Wu You is shut out of the room by Xia Lu, she finds it somewhat unacceptable.

Even though she is utterly discredited, she doesn’t want to see Wu You humiliated in front of others.

This is her love for Wu You.

Wu You takes a look at her and heaves a sigh.

“Yeah, You, the Xia Family are simply fooling us!” Wu Li also says with indignation.

“No, no, no, how can we fool you?” Xia Mu is shocked to hear their conversation and hastens to rush forward, explaining with an obsequious smile, “Wu You, wait a minute. I’ll knock on the door for you.”

After saying that, he goes forward.

Yet, his persuasion is useless.

Wu Li shouts, “Don’t waste your effort. You’ve talked a lot. Did it work?”

Xia Mu is so mad about Xia Lu rather than Wu Li.

Out of anger, he lifts his leg and kicks the door.

With a bang, the door is kicked open.

This is what Xia Mu has long wanted to do.

Yet, there are a lot of guests of the Xia Family present. It is obviously inappropriate to do such a thing in front of so many guests.

However, Xia Mu can’t think about it anymore. He only focuses on what he can do to ease the Wu Family’s anger as well as Wu You’s and the others’ disgruntlement about him.

“Xia Lu, what are you dawdling for? Mind your manners! Do you have any sense of etiquette?” Xia Mu shouts with his eyes wide open.

Xia Lu turns around to look at him and smiles.

“It is so fun to see your exasperated look,” Xia Lu says with a smile.

Her words don’t sound like what a daughter would say to her father.

Evidently, Xia Lu has hated Xia Mu for a long time.

Xia Mu shivers in anger.

He is about to say something when Wu You has come forward.

“Xia Lu, I’m…”

“I know.” Wu You is interrupted by Xia Lu.

Xia Lu interrupts Wu You but doesn’t continue talking. How embarrassing!

Xia Lu searches among the crowd and feels a bit surprised to see Yue Xincheng and Qin Yuming. Then, she smiles happily but her eyes show apparent frustration.

Someone knows what Xia Lu is thinking about now.

It is simply that she doesn’t see the one she wants to see most.

He doesn’t come?

Xia Lu thinks…

“Xia Lu, this is an important matter of our family and the Wu Family. Stop messing around, okay?” Xia Mu slowly walks to Xia Lu and says in a low voice full of begging.

Xia Lu looks at him coldly.

“Xia Lu, anyhow, You is your future husband. What’s good for you if you disgrace him now?” Wu Jinxiu takes two steps forward and says.

In fact, she has a lot to say but upon thinking of how she made it here, she just bites her tongue. She can still remember the feeling of coming here on her knees and doesn’t want to do it again. Therefore, she had better hold back her emotions.

….

Suddenly, the fox spirit gets up from the table.

Her eyes look somewhat fierce.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Lu feels that the fox spirit’s uneasiness and then asks.

The fox spirit turns around to glance at her and its eyes are a bit complicated but it doesn’t say anything but runs out directly at an extremely fast speed. Its speed is so fast that even Yue Xincheng and Qin Yuming can only see a white figure darting out of the room.
