At that moment, Duan Qianming couldn't care less about the gazes of those around him. He knelt properly, his head bowed, fearing Rong Qi might utter the words that would doom the Duan family in the next second.
Mrs. Duan was still in a daze as she watched. She marched up and tugged on Duan Qianming's shoulder. She asked, "Duan Qianming, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to this woman?"
"You fool, will you not shut up? Get down on your knees and apologize to Ms. Rong!" Duan Qianming growled at Mrs. Duan.
Hearing that, Mrs. Duan, who was always accustomed to being the strong one, screeched, "Why should I? Who is she? What right does she have to make me kneel?"
Duan Qianming was filled with regret. He thought, 'Why had I married such a woman who is a liability?'
