His Rui-Chapter 107 - A Forceful Apology

In the past four years, many times Yi Lei wished to go to Xi Manor and take his Jiejie away. It was only because General Li declared that no one will go and take Li Rui away from Xi Manor, he couldn't do so. He respected his Uncle Li a lot.

But living in Imperial City when knowing that both of his elder sisters were not happy where they were living was very difficult for him.

So Yi Lei decided to become a soldier and go to the battlefield. His mother had cried very much, had pleaded to him to not do this but Yi Lei only had this way to maintain his sanity.

Because if he lived in the Imperial City then he knew one day he would go to Xi Manor or to the Imperial Palace to fight for his sisters.

Li Rui continued to stare at Yi Lei's face. She raised her foot and slowly walked towards him.

When she was finally in front of him, Yi Lei smiled forcefully and asked

"Did I finally scare Jiejie?"

He had been trying to scare his Jiejie since childhood. Never had he thought that he will achieve it in this way? Yi Lei thought bitterly.

Li Rui's released a trembling breath at his question and shook her head as she whispered

"No."

Her heart was shaken as she looked at the burn and remembered the timid boy from four years ago.

It must have hurt very much.

A tear slipped through her eye as she thought this but she wiped it quickly so that Yi Lei would not be able to see it.

Yi Lei was startled at the answer. He lowered his head and a tear fell down from his left eye.

He used to cry in the same manner when he would find out that his efforts went waste and his Jiejie was not scared at all.

However, this time he was happy to hear this answer.

A soft touch wiped away the tear from his cheek.

"Don't cry. It'll hurt."

When he raised his head he saw a frown on Li Rui's calm face. He nodded his head and rubbed his eyes. He smiled when Li Rui patted his head just like she used to do before.

"Elder sister will treat your face."

He nodded his head with a wide smile at her words.

In fact, he really doesn't care whether his face would heal or not. He was just glad that the people who loved him didn't hate him because of this.

"Hmph…Met everyone except your father."

She heard a voice from her behind.

Everyone chuckled when they heard General Li's sulking voice.

With a sigh, Li Rui turned around and looked at her father from up to down. When she didn't find any serious injury, she was relieved again.

"Rui greets Father."

She curtsied as she greeted her father.

General Li rolled his eyes and forwarded his hand.

"Come here."

She put her hand in his father's hand and General Li dragged her closer.

His eyes filled with fatherly love as he stroked her hair.

"How have you been? Does Minister Xi treat you well?"

He smirked when he saw the young Minister's cold glare.

"Rui is very well."

General Li then patted her head gently and said in a low voice.

"Good Rui. Now you don't have to worry about anything. Just transfer all your worries to your husband."

Li Rui looked at her father in confusion but General Li didn't explain anything and just said

"Strengthen your relationship with Xi Ying, Rui."

With that, he stepped back and stood beside Yi Jie. He frowned when he saw his Wangfei's lowered head. She didn't even a single word since Rui has entered the Li Manor. He had thought that she will be the happiest person to see her daughter. Just as General Li was about to ask his Wangfei the reason behind her unusual behavior, he heard his elder brother's voice.

"Li Caihong."

Li Caihong looked at Li Na in confusion who signed her to go forward.

"Yes, Father."

Without looking at his daughter, Li Qiang said

"Go and kneel down in front of your Elder sister."

"Father…"

Li Caihong looked shocked and muttered in disbelief.

"What is Father saying?"

Li Qiang looked at her emotionlessly and said again.

"Go and kneel in front of Rui right now."

"Elder Brother, Is something wrong? Why are you asking Caihong to kneel in front of Rui?"

General Li asked Li Qiang with a frown.

Li Qiang stared at his daughter who was still not moving.

"She should know what the result of hitting her Elder sister is. Now go and do what I have told you, Caihong."

However, Li Caihong shook her head firmly and shouted

"No, I will not kneel in front of her."

Li Qiang's eyes were cold when he heard his daughter's refusal.

"I seem to have given you much freedom that you dare to disobey your father now."

General Li, Li Diu, and the whole Yi family were confused by the current situation. It was Li Sying who went to her Second Uncle and whispered how Li Caihong had slapped Li Rui in front of everyone blaming her for everything.

After hearing everything even General Li, Li Diu, and Yi Lei's faces were cold.

"Qiang, leave it."

Li Hong felt distressed for her daughter and tried to make her husband understand.

Seeing her husband's glare she said immediately.

"She will apologize to Rui. I'll ask her to do that. Just don't ask her to kneel."

Li Caihong looked at her mother with wide eyes and immediately denied.

"No, I will not apologize to anyone."

Hearing these disrespectful words, Li Qiang felt more furious.

Seeing his Father's anger, Li Na shook her head at her foolish sister and went behind her. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

"It is just an apology, Caihong. You need to say a few words. Doesn't matter you mean it or not. Mother is also trying to save you. You don't have to kneel. Go and apologize instead of angering Father more."

Li Caihong's face was full of displeasure at her sister's words. However, she knew that Li Na was right.

So flicking her sleeve in anger, she turned around and stood in front of Li Rui with a heart full of hatred.

"Caihong apologize to Elder sister. Caihong shouldn't have raised her hand on Elder Sister that day."

Li Rui stared at Li Caihong's lowered head and didn't speak anything.

Seeing this, Li Hong frowned and said with a tight smile.

"Rui, she is your younger sister. She did a mistake and is apologizing to you by heart. Won't you forgive her?"

Li Rui looked at her Aunt.

Li Hong was about to say something again when she heard a cold chuckle.

"Ha…"

Standing a few steps away, Xi Ying saw all this with cold eyes.

First, they do something unforgivable and then also force his wangfei to forgive them.

He chuckled coldly and walked towards Li Rui. Holding her hand in his own, he looked at Li Hong and said

"First Madam Li, you can force Rui to forgive your daughter. However, this Lord will not forgive your daughter for touching my Wangfei with her disgusting hands."
