Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 788 - 783: If You Want to Apologize, Be Sincere

(There will be more updates today, not certain how many, however much I write.)

"You..." Mrs. Liu was so angry that she almost ground her silver teeth to dust. For so many years, she has always held a high position; when did she ever fall to the point of being threatened by someone?

Moreover, it happened right in front of Fang Pingying, being threatened by her husband, where would her dignity go? She refused to compromise; she was determined to see what Luo Zhiyong could do to her.

Even if her husband’s position was close to encountering problems, it hadn’t happened yet, and many people outside were still unaware of the situation; her status was still intact.

She looked up at Luo Zhiyong, holding a determined gaze, rather die than compromise.

Seeing this, Luo Zhiyong didn’t force her, he just smiled faintly, then called out to the family maid, "Sister Li, report to the authorities, let the police handle this matter."

Sister Li had worked for Fang Pingying for a while, and being a perceptive person, she understood Luo Zhiyong’s intention. She promptly responded loudly, and then quickly ran to the phone, ready to make the call.

Mrs. Liu, seeing this setup seemed to really involve the police, panicked a bit. She immediately stopped Sister Li and then looked at Luo Zhiyong, saying, "Wait, why report to the police just because of what I said? Even if I was speaking off the cuff about your wife, does it warrant involving the police?"

She paused briefly, then smiled, still maintaining an aloof posture, "Besides, I’m not an ordinary person; I am Chairman Liu’s wife. Do you think reporting to the police means they’ll necessarily take your side?"

"Oh, you belong to the Liu family? It’s truly better to see for oneself than hear its renown." Speaking of the Liu family, Luo Zhiyong was even less inclined to let it go. He looked at Mrs. Liu, his expression light, "Fine, since you think the police will take your side, let’s call them and whether they flatter you or not is irrelevant."

After speaking, Luo Zhiyong insisted on contacting the police, and even wanted to call personally.

"You..." Even though Mrs. Liu prided herself on reputation, at this moment, she dared not remain stubborn and had to grumble, lowering her stance, saying, "Okay, okay, let’s just say I spoke wrongly, alright?"

This attitude didn’t satisfy Luo Zhiyong; he raised his brows at Mrs. Liu, "Knowing you misspoke, can a simple statement suffice?"

Mrs. Liu thought being able to say that was already commendable but never expected Luo Zhiyong wouldn’t let go. Enraged, she couldn’t help but shout, "So, what do you want?"

Luo Zhiyong pointed towards Fang Pingying, "Apologize to my wife."

"You..." Mrs. Liu snorted, like hearing a joke, eyes wide staring at Luo Zhiyong.

Without wasting words, Luo Zhiyong immediately started calling out to Sister Li again, "Sister Li, make the call, contact Captain Huang at the police station to come over."

"Wait." Seeing Sister Li pick up the phone again, Mrs. Liu, unable to bear it, almost gritted her teeth and reluctantly said in a low voice, "I’m sorry."

After speaking, Mrs. Liu pulled Tingting beside her, preparing to leave.

But Luo Zhiyong remained unsatisfied, still blocking Mrs. Liu, smirk etched on his face, "My wife only accepts apologies from the heart; insincere ones hold no interest."

"Uncle Zhiyong, what is going on here?" Tingting, who had stood by all along, asked. She, after all being a teenager, didn’t fully grasp the situation’s ins and outs but knew her grandmother and Luo Zhiyong were in serious conflict.

Seeing Tingting’s puzzled expression, Fang Pingying didn’t know how to explain, she dryly called out, "Tingting."

"Sister Fang, what exactly is going on? Aren’t our families always on good terms, why is it like this?" As Tingting said this, she began to cry, unable to accept this.

"Tingting..." Fang Pingying felt relatively guilty towards Tingting among the Liu family.

Tingting was only a teenager, with a simple mind, oblivious to adult conflicts, and she truly liked her, treating her like a sister. But now, with the families in such a state, no matter what, Tingting began to understand some aspects.

Perhaps noticing Fang Pingying’s guilty expression towards Tingting, Mrs. Liu’s eyes flickered cleverly, then smugly glanced at Luo Zhiyong, implying given Pingying and Tingting’s bond, no apology should be necessary.

If Mrs. Liu hadn’t been so arrogant, perhaps Fang Pingying for Tingting’s sake would have spoken up, and Luo Zhiyong might have let it slide, but Mrs. Liu acted thus, and he refused to let her off easily.

He turned to look at Tingting, his expression softened slightly, speaking gently, "Tingting, you’re still young, some things you may not fully understand yet, but surely your school teachers taught you, when you make a mistake, you own up to it, when you say something wrong, you apologize, right?"

Tingting, unsure of what Luo Zhiyong meant, nodded mechanically because what he said was true, not only at school, but that’s how she was taught by her family from a young age.

As Tingting nodded, Luo Zhiyong then turned to Mrs. Liu, lightly frowning, pressing her again, "Mrs. Liu, my wife has waited long, so is the apology coming or not?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The implication was he had no time to dawdle with Mrs. Liu; apologize quickly or prepare to call the police.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu dared not delay any longer, resolved herself, and swiftly said to Fang Pingying, "Miss Fang, I’m sorry, I misspoke before, please don’t take it to heart."

"Alright, leave; don’t come back here again." Fang Pingying said, watching Mrs. Liu, then softly said to Tingting, "Tingting, I’m sorry..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu pulled Tingting aside with ill temper, implying as they left, "Let’s go; whoever returns here must be cursed."

Saying this, Mrs. Liu ignored whether Tingting was willing and dragged her away.

As they reached the door, seeing Taotao still standing idly by the sofa, pondering who knows what, Mrs. Liu’s anger peaked, shouting loudly, "And you, still standing there? Do you want to kneel?"

Taotao seemed to just realize, immediately smiling at Fang Pingying, then walked towards the door, "Oh, leaving, leaving."

Watching the group leave, Fang Pingying recalled how Luo Zhiyong protected her earlier; she smiled, lowered her head, held his hand, casually asked, "Zhiyong, why did you come back so early today? Didn’t you say you’d be busy until afternoon?"
