Thump, thump, thump.
Zhou Xingxing took three steps back, ending up beside Li Changlin, who quickly reached out to steady him, chuckling bitterly as he cried, "Brother Zhou."
"Changlin, I'm really sorry." Zhou Xingxing turned back and apologized to Li Changlin with regret. Initially, he had plotted like a running tally because of the immense pressure from his family to marry, coming up with a plan to feign agreement to his family's arrangements, yet he had never expected things would get so out of hand.
"It's nothing; there's always a way to solve these issues." Li Changlin smiled and comforted Zhou Xingxing, then raised his head to say to Zhou Yongyi, "Uncle Zhou, I know this incident has put the Zhou Family in a difficult position. Changlin is willing to offer compensation as a gesture of sincerity to the Zhou Family, hoping Uncle Zhou and the Zhou Family would be magnanimous and forgive Ruonan's mistake."
