Luo Buwei hesitated, as did Zhang Huan.
But Lin Xiao didn't want them to hesitate any longer. "You only have two choices."
They both knew what those choices were.
Luo Buwei clenched his fists and even stole a glance at his parents.
The old woman turned her head away, pretending not to see. She had decided not to interfere in this matter; out of sight, out of mind.
Zhang Huan gritted her teeth, immediately knelt on the ground, and kowtowed without a word. "Qinghan! I've wronged you!"
"Uncle, what about you?"
When Luo Qinghan spoke these words, her tone was ice-cold. The "Uncle" was devoid of any familial affection, carrying only bone-deep hatred.
Hearing the prompt, he glanced at Luo Cheng on the sickbed. Luo Buwei sighed deeply and also knelt on the ground. However, he did not kowtow, merely kneeling and saying, "Niece, I was wrong in what I did before. I made you suffer."
"Uncle, what you said is correct. Kowtow for me." Luo Qinghan showed no reaction to Luo Buwei's words, her demeanor remaining frigid.
"..."
Old Master Luo also turned his head away. He stamped his cane on the ground twice, no longer wishing to watch.
Luo Qinghan's statement made Luo Buwei's expression darken.
"Dad..."
Zhang Huan pleaded from the side.
"Alright."
Luo Buwei promptly kowtowed.
After this was over, Luo Qinghan finally showed a hint of a smile. "Uncle, Sister-in-law, why the grand ceremony? I was just joking. We're all family, and I wouldn't make things difficult for you, right? Besides, Grandpa and Grandma are here, so I can't really make things difficult for you, can I? You're being too polite."
"..."
Lin Xiao almost wanted to praise his wife. Her ability to be sarcastically polite was superb. This was a cultured person!
"Alright, Uncle, Sister-in-law, you can both get up now. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still need to put Xun'er to bed." Luo Qinghan's tone became much gentler, as if she had transformed into a different person.
Luo Buwei and Zhang Huan finally stood up from the ground and looked at Lin Xiao.
"Wife, shall we hang up then?"
"Yes, remember to come back early." Luo Qinghan said. As she spoke, she reached out to hang up the phone, but suddenly stopped and quickly added, "If you, Uncle, and your family are willing to move away, that would be excellent. Xun'er's growth will be healthier that way."
"..."
Luo Buwei's expression darkened. He had now handed over more than ten million yuan to this girl. If he moved away now, what would they eat? His entire family relied on the Luo family's company for their jobs!
"It's decided then, Uncle. Please trouble yourselves to move out. I remember you have a mansion, don't you? Don't come around here for no reason... Alright, goodbye."
The call ended.
Lin Xiao looked at Luo Buwei. "How about it, Uncle?"
The "Uncle" in his greeting was laced with intense sarcasm.
"Good!"
Luo Buwei stared at Lin Xiao, whose lips curled into a dismissive smile. This smile made Luo Buwei extremely uncomfortable, but he knew that this was the only answer he could give.
"That's good then... I didn't expect Uncle to be so reasonable. That's wonderful... Alright, I'll go and examine your son now to see exactly why he's in a coma."
