Gu Nuan couldn’t believe how it all started with her family back then.
"Are you happy with your current husband?"
Gu Nuan had no chance to reply.
The door to the interrogation room suddenly opened, and Li Changzhi walked out and froze upon seeing the two of them.
Yes, she had heard everything afterwards. Compared to her own cowardly behavior, these two women, her colleagues, were revered like heroes.
If time could be reversed, Li Changzhi wished she had run away with them instead of hiding alone. Even if she had been as scared as Xiaoliu.
But after all, one misstep can lead to everlasting regret.
"It’s your turn," Li Changzhi said.
Zhong Qiaohui stood up, facing her, "Miss Li, how does it taste?"
"What did you say?" Li Changzhi’s face looked very ugly, but she kept her head held high with stubborn pride.
This very aspect was what Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t stand: "I’m telling you, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Dare to claim you’re the bank president’s daughter, an Overseas Returnee? Don’t mention being a laughingstock outside, this kind of quality! You’ve disgraced all of us!" Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Changzhi was gasping for breath, "You don’t understand, it was just me alone, and you were many. How can we compare? My terror!"
"You could have run with us. Why did you run alone?" Zhong Qiaohui utterly rejected her explanation, "Whether you apologize or not doesn’t matter to me. But I’m telling you, if you don’t go to the hospital and apologize to Manager Fu, you’re finished!"
"Why should I apologize to him? I’m a victim too!" Li Changzhi shouted.
"Manager Fu was at death’s door then. Every minute’s delay could have meant death. Was it so hard to make a rescue call after you escaped outside? You only cared about your own life! You’re even worse than her," Zhong Qiaohui finally pointed at Gu Nuan.
Li Changzhi had thought, since she and Zhong Qiaohui were in the same circle, being scolded by Zhong Qiaohui was just an equal disagreement, nothing serious. But Gu Nuan was different.
Why should Gu Nuan be superior to her? She was just a poor woman who clung to Chen Jiaming’s coattails to get into Changda!
Li Changzhi looked at her, the anger in her eyes swelling like a huge wave, ready to engulf Gu Nuan.
Gu Nuan said calmly, "Miss Zhong is right. It doesn’t matter to any of us, but you must go and apologize to Manager Fu, bow your head and admit your guilt."
The last four words, "bow your head and admit your guilt," were far more severe than Zhong Qiaohui’s simple apology.
Li Changzhi’s mouth stiffened as she opened it, and she scoffed twice, "Am I crazy? Why would I bow to him? Who are you? What right do you have to talk to me like that? Even my father has never spoken to me ."
"That’s because your father hasn’t taught his daughter well."
Li Changzhi’s face turned red, and she rushed over to grab Gu Nuan’s hair, shouting, "You deaf—" she stopped herself midway, "Can you hear?"
"She can read lips a little. Director Chen must have known already," Zhong Qiaohui said.
Li Changzhi’s eyes wandered twice over Gu Nuan’s bare face.
Gu Nuan brushed away the hand reaching for her hair and said, "Actually, I can’t hear clearly what you’re saying, but I can guess. Because your expression gives it all away."
Is she saying her face looks utterly frustrated?
Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t help but burst into laughter beside her; she felt that Gu Nuan’s words were truly vicious compared to her own. Her words were merely superficial, not hurting Li Changzhi at all.
