"This kneeling is enough to make Zhuo Yarong forgive me."
Lu Huanting thought so in his heart, and he was 90% sure of it.
But what he completely misjudged was Zhuo Yarong's reaction.
He knelt down. Zhuo Yarong's face showed no emotion or touch, but she did not avoid or evade.
She just raised her eyes quietly, and looked at him coldly with those eyes that were filled with extreme disgust in his memory.
"Yarong..." Lu Huanting called her, with deep meaning in his eyes, "Please, forgive me."
Lu Huanting pretended to be affectionate and didn't care what others thought.
He is a prodigal son, and a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. As long as a man can change his heart, a woman should accept him.
What's more, Zhuo Yarong was his original wife.
Lu Huanting thought that his attitude was humble enough, and that if he behaved like this, Zhuo Yarong would be moved, forgive him, or even cry and hug him, thanking him for returning.
However, there is no…
Nothing...
Zhuo Yarong refused to even give her the word "good".
"Yarong, I'm already kneeling... I sincerely know that I was wrong, I am willing to return to my family, and I will never look for that bitch Lin Tong again. Let's make peace, Yarong, I'm kneeling down to admit my mistakes, please forgive me, okay?"
Lu Huanting felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still looked affectionate and convincing.
He inherited the Lu family's exquisite and handsome looks, as well as their graceful demeanor.
Even when kneeling there, he did not look the least bit embarrassed.
He was confident that he could win back Zhuo Yarong with this gesture, but when Zhuo Yarong opened her mouth and uttered the first word, his hopes were extinguished.
"No..." Zhuo Yarong said.
"I will not forgive you."
Why should she forgive him just because he knelt down
He had done so many wrong things, causing her and her son sadness and pain, and almost ruining their family.
Now, she and Yuchen are finally fine, why should they accept this man who is not worthy of being a husband or a father? !
“W-why…?” Lu Huanting seemed to have heard terrible news and was stunned for a long time.
"Yarong, how can you not forgive me? I have already knelt down in front of you, I already know I am wrong, you... why can't you forgive me? If you are really so heartless, then I will kneel here and never get up for the rest of my life."
Unable to find any other solution in his panic, Lu Huanting even resorted to such a low-level move.
The other members of the Lu family felt deeply disdainful when they saw this scene.
Even the elders and branch family heads who had already stood on Lu Huanting's side felt anxious at this time.
"Okay, you'd better keep your word. Don't get up until I forgive you. You've done something so unfair to me and Yuchen, so what's wrong with kneeling down? If you really repent, you should kneel here to atone for your sins. Also, behind you are the tablets of our Lu family's ancestors. Think about what you've done to Dad and Mom. You can't make up for it even if you kneel here for your whole life!"
Zhuo Yarong's words were far beyond Lu Huanting's expectations.
Especially the ruthlessness in her words and the determination in her eyes, there was no trace of the past anymore.
"You, you woman... How can you be so heartless? I am your husband after all. You, Zhuo Yarong, are where you are today because of me, Lu Huanting. Without me, how could you have the title of Madam Lu? Ha, what do you want to do now? Do you want to burn your bridges?"
"Destroy the bridge after crossing it?" Zhuo Yarong raised her eyebrows. "That's impossible. You have only brought me sadness and pain. I have never taken advantage of you, Lu Huanting, in the slightest."
"Bah - your identity as Mrs. Lu is your biggest advantage!" Lu Huanting pointed at Zhuo Yarong and stood up.
