Chapter 324: You’re Too Arrogant for Your Own Good!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ning’s words pierced Mrs. Zhao’s heart.

A family that would disregard their daughters innocence—isn’t that us?

Even though they had the evidence in their hands, they did not dare release it. They were afraid that if they did, they would be targeted and the entire Zhao family would fall.

Mrs. Zhao was so enraged that her entire face turned beet-red. She glared at Lu Ning, wanting to say something.

Lu Ning looked at her. “Mrs. Zhao, I’ll respect you by calling you Auntie, but don’t blame me for being rude if you do something disrespectful yourself.

“Logically speaking, I’m no longer a member of the Lù family so we shouldn’t have much reason to interact with each other. It’ll be good for us to remain strangers, yet you insist on putting on airs in front of me and wanted to use something like that to provoke me.

“I’m really sorry to disappoint you, you really can’t agitate me with that.

However, it’s really shameful of you to use others to vent your anger.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Mrs. Zhao’s face turned pale with anger.

Lu Ning looked at her calmly. “Was that not so? You don’t dare to provoke the Lù family, so even if your daughter isn’t the real culprit, you don’t dare to ask for an explanation. You can only arrange a transfer for her, yet you also can’t take this lying down.

“Then you saw me, and you thought that with my current status it was impossible for me to compare to you, so you could say whatever you wanted to me.

“After all, I no longer have the Lù family backing me up, so being the unscrupulous you are, you decided to vent your anger on me.

“But get this straight. I, Lu Ning, am not a punching bag for you to vent your anger! If you have the capability, go and clear your daughter’s name. Don’t pretend to be a caring mother here, acting as if I’m the mastermind who caused her to fall from grace.

“I’m sure you know very well who the real culprit is.”

Mrs. Zhao was breathing so heavily that her chest heaved up and down. Glaring at Lu Ning, she wished she could go up and rip her face to shreds. “Lu Ning! You! You’re too arrogant for your own good!”

She jabbed her finger towards Lu Ning, almost poking her in the eye.

Lu Ning looked at her as she pushed her fingers away, smiling. “Arrogant? Mrs. Zhao, surely this descriptor is more fitting for you.”

“You! Seems like your parents didn’t teach you any manners when you were younger! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on their behalf!”

With that, she raised her hand and was about to slap Lu Ning.

Lu Ning raised her hand to grab it, but another hand had already grabbed Mrs.Zhao’s wrist.

Lu Ning looked up and saw Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan stared at Mrs. Zhao with his dark and cold eyes. “Discipline your own child first before you worry about someone else’s child!”

After saying that, he flung her hand away. Mrs. Zhao staggered from the force and only managed to stabilize herself after being supported by the people behind her.

Huo Jinyan looked at Lu Ning. “Go to class.”

Lu Ning retracted her gaze. “Right.”

After saying that, she walked away. Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat when she looked at Huo Jinyan.

She felt that the man in front of her was very familiar…

But where have I seen him before?

For a moment, she could not remember, but Mrs. Zhao instinctively felt that this person was not one to be trifled with, so she looked at him in a daze and did not say anything.

Huo Jinyan’s cold gaze turned towards her, and his voice was low and threatening. “Touch her, and the Zhao family will fall! If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Mrs. Zhao stood there in a stupor.. The people behind her were also frightened and only spoke up after a long while, asking with uncertainty, “Madam, was that the Young Master of the Huo family from the capital?”
