NOVEL NEXT Chapter 126 Apology
At this moment, when Pang Qiang heard Lu Yu's words and saw the gazes of the surrounding customers and attendants, he felt a scorching sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped over two hundred times. Seeing Lu Yu so decisively buy a two million four hundred thousand watch, he felt utterly humiliated and wished he could find a hole to crawl into!
He had just been showing off in front of a man who casually bought a two million four hundred thousand watch without batting an eye, even calling the man a "pauper" repeatedly. Thinking about this, Pang Qiang now felt deep regret!
Originally, during their overseas studies, Xia Bing had rejected him numerous times, and he harbored resentment, wanting to take revenge on Xia Bing, at least to heavily humiliate her!
When he met Xia Bing and the seemingly shabby Lu Yu today, he thought his chance had come, and consequently, he went on to mock and sneer, aiming to make Xia Bing regret.
But now? He ended up getting humiliated instead, and it turned out that Lu Yu was not only not shabby but a lavish spender. At this moment, Pang Qiang felt extremely uncomfortable.
Especially thinking back to his boastful words, even saying that if Lu Yu could buy it, he would kneel. That was truly a textbook case of shooting oneself in the foot!
Thinking about having to kneel in front of Lu Yu and apologize in front of so many people, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
After some internal struggle, Pang Qiang looked at Lu Yu and forced a smile, saying, "B-Brother, it was my fault for not recognizing you just now. Please, forgive me?"
"Forgive you?"
Lu Yu let out a cold laugh, looking at Pang Qiang with a hint of chill in his words.
"Y-Yes..." Hearing Lu Yu's words, Pang Qiang quickly nodded in agreement.
"No way, not in this lifetime!"
Lu Yu looked at Pang Qiang, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Weren't you arrogant just now? Weren't you boasting, calling me a pauper?" Lu Yu said coldly, "What's the matter now? Scared? Calling me brother now?"
"I'm telling you, it's too late!"
Lu Yu's voice boomed like thunder, and he said, "Pang Qiang, right? You were the one who said you'd kneel, everyone saw it. I'm telling you now, you will kneel whether you want to or not!"
At these words, Pang Qiang shivered in fear; he looked at Lu Yu, feeling a chill down his spine as cold sweat broke out, full of dread in his heart.
His eyes darted around, seeking help from the surrounding customers and attendants, hoping someone would speak up for him.
However, the outcome was far from his expectations, as all the people present looked coldly at him, and not one was willing to step forward and speak for him.
His earlier words had put him against everyone present.
Everyone there understood tough times, having worked their way up from the bottom. They had all experienced the days when paying rent left them with barely any salary, and Pang Qiang's words had deeply pierced their hearts!
All the people now felt immense disgust towards the arrogant and disparaging Pang Qiang.
"What are you looking at? Kneel down already!"
One of the customers said, as Pang Qiang looked at him, "We all heard what you just said. You said you would kneel down and apologize, and now you're shamelessly asking for forgiveness? Are you even a man? Do you have any shame?"
"Yes, do you have any shame? Kneel down and apologize!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present urged Pang Qiang.
Pang Qiang froze; he never expected to unknowingly arouse everyone's anger!
"Alright, Pang Qiang, you said it yourself, no one forced you," Lu Yu said coldly, "But since you said it, make sure to carry it out seriously."
"Of course, you can choose not to, but deal with the consequences yourself!" Lu Yu said coldly to Pang Qiang, a chilling aura pressing towards him.
Feeling the menace, Pang Qiang felt as if he was plunged into an ice chamber, his face full of trembling fear as he looked at Lu Yu, stunned by his aura.
"Now, Pang Qiang," Lu Yu said, looking down at him coldly, "Kneel or not?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Pang Qiang shivered again, and he looked at Lu Yu, panicked, and said, "I'll... I'll kneel!"
"Then what are you hesitating for?"
Hearing Pang Qiang's words, Lu Yu said, looking down at him indifferently.
With a thud!
As soon as Lu Yu said this, Pang Qiang's knees gave way, and he knelt before Lu Yu, stammering, "S-Sorry..."
"Louder, I can't hear you!"
Looking at Pang Qiang, Lu Yu said coldly, "When you were boasting just now, your voice was loud, how come you're silent now? Speak up, let everyone hear you!"
Upon hearing this, Pang Qiang gritted his teeth and said loudly, "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have looked down on others, shouldn't have boasted arrogantly, I was wrong!"
After saying this, Pang Qiang was about to stand up, but Lu Yu said lazily, "Did I tell you to stand up?"
Hearing this, Pang Qiang was stunned. He looked at Lu Yu and said, "Didn't I already apologize?"
Lu Yu laughed and then stepped up to Pang Qiang, patting his cheek, saying, "With a brain like yours, I really wonder how you managed to study abroad?"
"You were only apologizing to me, but what about my girlfriend?" Lu Yu said coldly, patting Pang Qiang's face.
