"What did you just say?"
"I will not beg him!" Xu Weilai repeated herself, word-for-word, without backing down.
All these years, she had never gone against her parents' wishes. She had always been an obedient daughter. However, she wasn't just the daughter of the Xu family. She was first and foremost, a human being with flesh and blood--a human being with feelings!
Gu Yu had hurt her so badly. Just because she didn't cry out didn't mean that it hadn't hurt!
"I dare you to say that again!"
"I…"
The words had scarcely left Xu Weilai's lips when Mrs. Xu raised her hand in the air. Her face turned red in anger as she glared at her daughter.
Xu Weilai stared at her hand but made no move to dodge it. Contrarily, her expression grew even calmer as she finished her sentence. "If you're going to hit me, just do it. But I will not beg Gu Yu. I will find some other way to save the company. I will not let the Xu Corporation fall!"
