"It's your business to teach your family manners. I don't care how. Maybe you can get her to calm down. As the wife of a deputy director, she should at least be polite. And it's up to my wife whether or not to forgive her." If the deputy director had a bad rep, Kevin would definitely punish them severely. However, this man seemed to have a good name, so he didn't make a big deal out of this.
"Please don't worry, Major General Gu. I'll definitely send my wife to formally ask for forgiveness from Mrs. Gu." The deputy director wiped the sweat from his brow again. He had lived here a long time. But he didn't know that Major General Gu also lived here. What was more, his wife came to Kevin's house to harass him! Now she offended him. She just couldn't do anything right!
"That's a start." Kevin took a look at Leena. He worried that she might be a troublemaker at first. Now he realized that trouble found her.
"Hey! Don't just stand there! Apologize to Major General Gu and his wife, now!" The deputy director glared at his wife fiercely. They were talking about her rude behavior. So why did she just stand there quietly? Why the hell did she bother this guy?
"Major General? I've never heard of that rank.
Are you for real?" the woman asked, confused. She just could not understand why her husband was so afraid of a poor soldier. Why did he keep apologizing to him?
"Ha! No, he's a figment of your imagination." Belinda could not help but giggle upon hearing the woman's question. This woman seemed to be extremely stupid. How did she get to be an official's wife? She even did not know what a major general was.
"Don't make fun of him, Belinda. My husband is quite real, I assure you," Leena explained immediately. The thought flashed through her head that this woman might be checking him out. She derailed that train of thought and was thoroughly disgusted.
"You're in this, too, Mrs. Leng." The deputy director did not notice Belinda until now because he was concentrated on dealing with Kevin and apologizing to him. Now he felt even more embarrassed, because they knew each other.
"Yes, I'm part of this. Mr. Lu, I have to admit that you have really specialized tastes," Belinda said with a cold smile on her face. If she wasn't here in person, she would never imagine that he would have married such a disgusting woman.
"I'm sorry. Please excuse me, Mrs. Leng. And this must be Mrs. Gu! I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu! My wife was really out of line. You're broad-minded and she is just ordinary at heart. Please don't pay her any mind." The deputy director took a quick glance at Leena. He could do nothing but frown when he saw the scratches on Leena's face. He saw her several times before and his rude wife cussed him out every time he looked at Leena. His wife always said that he had evil intentions and that he liked that girl. But that was not the case. He loved his wife, and what harm did it do to look. He didn't need anyone other than her.
We're good. We're neighbors, and now that we've met, we'll see more of each other. I don't like to bear grudges. Now that you apologized to us, I'll accept your apology." Leena said those words because of Kevin. She knew it was not good for Kevin to have too many enemies. You never knew when you might need to ask for help. So apparently this was all water under the bridge. She didn't like the confrontation, but it was over now. Kevin might not mind. But as his wife, she had to think about everything for him.
Thank you, Mrs. Gu. I appreciate your kindness. If there's something I can help with later, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'll definitely do whatever I can." The deputy director didn't expect Leena to be so kind as to forgive his wife, so he was so grateful when he heard that.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Actually I was wrong, too. If I hadn't parked in the wrong spot, there wouldn't be any arguments. So, I'm responsible for this too, in a way." Leena took a look at that woman and found that she was still at a loss for words. How could her husband, whom she believed was so powerful, be so apologetic? After all, she had thought her husband was one of the most powerful men in the city. But now, he was so humble when facing Kevin.
Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear me? Come here and apologize to Major General Gu and Mrs. Gu," the deputy director shouted. He grabbed a handful of clothing and dragged her over. He was extremely awkward because of his wife.
"Oh, sorry! I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me." The woman lowered her head and was too ashamed to look at Leena. She didn't think Leena held far more power than she did. But during their argument earlier, she didn't mention her husband or his position. She didn't use him to her advantage at all! That surprised her a lot! Nowadays, most people would like to show off who they were, and use their family backgrounds as a weapon.
Mrs. Lu, you really need to just watch yourself," Kevin said. "Try to calm down. You met us this time and we can let this slide. But if you meet somebody else, they might be even more difficult to deal with. You don't want your husband to lose his job, or worse." Belinda displayed a cold smile. She knew why Leena decided to drop this. She didn't want to cause trouble for Kevin and his career.
"Yes, yes, you're right. I'll definitely pay attention to it from now on. I'm the one who caused all the troubles today. My husband had nothing to do with it at all. He knew nothing about it. Please don't blame him." Despite the fact that Mrs. Lu still had no clue about what a major general was, she began to realize that she couldn't mess with Kevin anymore when she saw her husband be so respectful in front of the soldier. She finally apologized to Leena.
Leena wasn't bold enough to speak for Kevin. So she avoided answering that woman's request directly. She was clever and confident about Kevin. She knew he had his own opinions. "Well, I'm sure he didn't know. That's why I'm going to drop this. It's just not worth dwelling on. But it's not up to me, now."
