Xiang Yutang felt a bit embarrassed. "Uncle and Aunt, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that Zhu Zhengchu... Teacher Zhu ended up like this." Although it was true that Zhu Zhengchu didn't act well first, she was the one who pushed him, so she couldn't shirk the responsibility.
Zhu Yuan and Zheng Wanyin already knew what had really happened. Zheng Wanyin didn't say a word, while Zhu Yuan said, "It's okay. Uncle knows you didn't do it on purpose. It's quite late now. Let the family driver take you back to rest first. Your aunt and I will stay here with him."
Zhu Zhengchu said unhappily, "I don't want that! Why should I let my wife go! Wife, don't leave!"
Zheng Wanyin looked at him in surprise. "Zhengchu, what's wrong with you? Weren't you two already broken up? Why are you still saying such things?"
Xiang Yutang said awkwardly, "Aunt, Uncle, he might have hit his head when he fell, so his memory is a bit confused..."
"What memory confusion? My memory is just fine! We're supposed to be together!" Zhu Zhengchu retorted.
Zhu Yuan felt a headache looking at his useless son. He rubbed his temples and said to Xiang Yutang kindly, "Could you come with Uncle for a moment?"
"Sure." Xiang Yutang nodded obediently and followed him out.
Zhu Zhengchu wanted to shout something, but Zheng Wanyin stopped him.
Xiang Yutang followed Zhu Yuan, feeling a bit unsure. She wondered if Zhu Yuan knew about her relationship with Zhu Zhengchu. If he did, it would be so embarrassing.
They walked to the end of the corridor and Zhu Yuan stopped.
"I've looked into everything between you two," Zhu Yuan said.
Xiang Yutang felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Yuan continued, "This kid is such a jerk. He's let you down. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Uncle, you don't have to say that. It's all in the past. I'm not angry about it anymore," Xiang Yutang said, looking down at her toes.
Zhu Yuan sighed. "You're a good girl. It's his loss that Zhengchu missed out on you. I'm not so shameless as to force you to be with him. I'll handle the rest. You can go back first. Don't worry about him pestering you in the future. I'll keep him in line."
Xiang Yutang didn't expect Zhu Yuan to say such things. She was worried that he would force her to be with Zhu Zhengchu.
"But if I leave, what about Zhu Zhengchu..."
Zhu Yuan snorted. "This unfilial son let you down first. I'll deal with him. You don't have to worry. Just live your life well. When you get married in the future, Uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Xiang Yutang hesitated for a moment. Since Zhu Zhengchu's parents had said so, she'd better leave. She already felt a bit wavering. If she stayed any longer, she didn't know what would happen. One shouldn't fall into the same pit twice. She'd better leave first.
"Okay, Uncle. Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of Zhu Zhengchu. The doctor said it's better to transfer him to a big hospital. You and Aunt can take him back tomorrow. We still have to continue filming here."
Zhu Yuan nodded and asked the family driver to take her back to the filming set.
Xiang Yutang got into the car absent - mindedly. Just then, her dad called.
"Hello, Dad," Xiang Yutang said in a low voice.
Xiang Zhengyun sounded very gossipy. "Tangtang, I heard that the Zhu family's kid fell. Is he okay?"
"He's fine. How did you know?"
"I was having tea with Zhu Yuan just now. Half - way through, they rushed away after hearing the news."
"You could have called earlier. What if I got hurt too?" Xiang Yutang complained.
Xiang Zhengyun scoffed. "I know your skills. By the way, was it Ying Zikui who did this? There's a saying, love turning into hatred, accidentally pushing the ex - boyfriend down. This plot sounds so exciting."
Xiang Yutang:...
Damn it, sometimes she really admired her dad's wild imagination.
Xiang Zhengyun continued, "But you mustn't let Zhu Yuan know that Zhu Zhengchu dumped Ying Zikui."
"Huh? Why?"
"Let me tell you secretly. Your Uncle Zhu used to be in the underworld. He has a really bad temper. He quit that life after getting married. But his temper is still very short - fused. If he knew his son did something wrong to others, he'd be the first one to kill his son."
Xiang Yutang shivered and forced a smile. "You're joking, right? How could that be? Zhu Zhengchu is his own son."
Xiang Zhengyun said, "It's quite possible. Uncle Zhu hates unfaithful men the most."
Xiang Yutang swallowed hard. Thinking of what Zhu Yuan said just now, telling her not to worry anymore. What did that mean? Could he be going to deal with Zhu Zhengchu right now?
"Driver! Turn back!" Xiang Yutang shouted at the driver.
The driver was confused but still turned the car around.
"Huh? You're still out so late?" Xiang Zhengyun asked.
"I'm busy now. I'll talk to you later," Xiang Yutang hung up the phone and nervously rubbed her hands. She'd just go back secretly and take a look. If everything was okay, she'd leave. If something really went wrong, she'd have to stay and stop it.
She sneaked into the hospital and walked to Zhu Zhengchu's ward. She could clearly hear the arguing from outside.
"You unfilial son, making such a fool of yourself. I'll beat you to death!" Zhu Yuan was really angry.
Zheng Wanyin's voice also came out. "Zhu Yuan! I'm warning you. If you dare to hit our son, I'll divorce you!"
Xiang Yutang swallowed hard. Oh no, it's really come to this.
Zhu Zhengchu was still adding fuel to the fire. "I want to find my wife! I don't care. I just want to find her!"
"Zhengchu, don't move around. Your leg!"
"Fine, you're still being such a coward, huh? I'll beat you to death right now!"
Xiang Yutang quickly pushed the door open. "No no no! Uncle Zhu, don't do it!"
When the whole family saw Xiang Yutang come in, they quickly stopped roaring.
Zhu Yuan pretended to be kind. "Tangtang, why did you come back? Did you forget something?"
They changed so quickly that Xiang Yutang was startled. No wonder Zhu Zhengchu could be a movie star. The whole family was such good actors.
Xiang Yutang swallowed hard. "Uncle Zhu, I think since I caused this, I should take all the responsibility. I'll take care of him. Please don't be angry. Don't be angry."
Zhu Zhengchu reached out his hand to Xiang Yutang. "Wife, wife!"
Zhu Yuan wanted to hit him when he saw his useless look. Xiang Yutang quietly moved closer.
"You and Aunt have been so tired coming here. Go and rest first. I took a nap while waiting. I'm not tired now. Go and rest quickly."
