Chapter 247: 247: Tragically Slapped in the Face

Zhou Ru glared at her fiercely, covering the mouthpiece of her Mobile phone.

Just at this moment, the man on the other end of the phone finally spoke, indeed exploding in anger, but not in the way Zhou Ru had anticipated. His voice could almost be described as an enraged roar, “Zhou Ru, I’m telling you, you apologize right now, this instant!”

“Third Uncle, have you lost your mind? Apologize? Shouldn’t others be apologizing to me?”

“You still expect others to apologize to you? Who do you think you are? Ah! Do you really think you’re a gorilla in the zoo that everyone has to smile at when they see? I warn you, go and apologize immediately! Make sure they forgive you!”

Zhou Ru was dumbfounded, “Third Uncle, you won’t even stand up for your own family, and now you’re siding with outsiders? I won’t go, I’ll tell my mom…”

“Even telling your mom won’t help!” How could he have such a stupid relative like a pig? The Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau was almost having a heart attack from anger, he laid down his trump card, “You won’t apologize, is that it? Let me tell you, if you don’t apologize, your Husband and all your in-laws will be driven out of the Education Bureau! And about your Printing Business, you can forget about continuing it too, because the Education Bureau won’t be needing your company’s services anymore, and 1 no longer have a Niece like you! Our both families will completely sever ties right now! Don’t have any further contact and don’t you dare say outside that you know me!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His words were so harsh, so harsh that Zhou Ru thought she was hallucinating.

What was happening?

Third Uncle wanted to cut ties with their family?

And drive her Husband and all his family out of the Education Bureau?

To even forbid her from continuing her business?

Had Third Uncle gone mad?

Zhou Ru was beginning to panic, reluctantly lowering her head, “I’ll apologize, I’ll apologize, okay? Third Uncle, please don’t be angry anymore.”

“Don’t give me that. Let me tell you, Zhou Ru. 1 know your temperament, if you’re sarcastic or make faces while apologizing, it’ll still be the same as what 1 just said. I won’t let you off easily.”

Had Third Uncle really not lost his mind? Zhou Ru opened her mouth, unable to find her own voice, “…I understand.”

The Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau was still not reassured, and before hanging up the phone, he added, “No, I’ll be right there.”

“Make sure you apologize properly, do you hear me? If 1 come over and hear that you’ve been slippery, I’ll break your legs!”

Zhou Ru’s face turned shades of green, black, and red- an astonishing mix of colors. Because she was holding her breath so forcefully, the blush on her face flaked off like a Flower goddess scattering blossoms, “Third Uncle, are you really my Third Uncle? Could it be that I dialed the wrong number?”

“You didn’t dial the wrong number, you picked up the wrong Mobile phone!” With that, he hung up the phone on the other end.

The tone of the disconnected call beeped.

Zhou Ru’s hand, gripping the Mobile phone, fell limply, the embarrassment intense.

What did he mean by saying she didn’t dial the wrong number, but picked up the wrong Mobile phone?

Did Third Uncle mean that she didn’t use her own phone to call?

But wouldn’t any call go through just the same? It doesn’t matter whose phone was used.

She just couldn’t understand why it mattered so much whose phone was used to make the call.

She couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind his last words, but she realized the seriousness of the situation. She turned around dryly, facing Li Beijue and Xu Lulu.
