"The book says that when someone says ’I’m sorry’ to you, you should reply with ’It’s okay.’ That is the proper way to show politeness."
Sister Wang, fully aware of her current situation, saw Miss Bai apologizing to her. She managed to respond with an earnest "It’s okay," although her eyes twitched slightly, and she almost couldn’t hold back.
After the apology, Bai Guanjie knew that staying any longer would be pointless, so after exchanging a few words with Ying Hao, he took the two women and left.
As they were leaving, Ou Mufeng, the elder Miss of the Ou Family, couldn’t help but curse under her breath when she saw the situation concluding in such a manner, "Bai Guanjie, let me go, you coward, you worthless good-for-nothing!"
Bai Guanjie said nothing, but his face turned completely ashen the moment he turned around!
He, a worthless good-for-nothing? He, a coward?
If it weren’t for this ’worthless good-for-nothing,’ this ’coward,’ could she, Ou Mufeng, have gone back home in one piece today?
He told her that she shouldn’t expect to have it easy today!
"Could you use your brain for once? At this time, do you have the capital to fight her?"
"What do you mean I don’t have the capital? I am the elder Miss of the Ou Family. Don’t I qualify to fight her?"
"Yes, you’re the elder Miss of the Ou Family, but do you know who she is? She’s Ou Mucen’s woman, the one who bore a son for your old man. You think you can fight her? Save it. Besides, what are you fighting her for right now? That mess at your brother’s place? Let me tell you, if you don’t want to die, don’t bring it up again. Otherwise, don’t say I didn’t warn you, or you’ll end up just like another Ou Yuze!"
The man gripping Ou Mufeng’s arm had grown very stern with these last words!
Yes, she was the elder Miss of the Ou Family, but now she had married out; she wasn’t part of the Ou Family anymore, she was part of the Bai Family. And that woman named Ye Ning was the bride brought into the family.
Ye Ning had a child out of wedlock and had a firm grip on the Ou Family’s most favored son. With such baggage, what capital did she have to compete with her?
And then there was the messy affair at her brother’s house!
To put it nicely, it was an unfortunate family incident, but harshly, it was their own fault. Even the old man had not shown any sympathy or grief after the incident. And now, she as the sister, was stirring up trouble at this time. Wasn’t that asking for trouble?
Bai Guanjie’s face was more than just ugly!
Reminded by Bai Guanjie, Ou Mufeng’s expression gradually stiffened, "So we should just let it go? That foster daughter, killing my nephew and sister-in-law without any consequence, and now she has climbed into the position of Third Young Madam. Can I really swallow this grievance?"
"Of course we can’t just let it go; they haven’t gotten married yet, have they?"
Ou Mufeng thought it over, "That seems right. I heard that because of her household registration issue, and that case five years ago where she was convicted, the Ou Family’s registration of adopting her had been canceled. Now, to register her marriage to Ou Mucen, her household registration must be sent back from Ningzhou Prison and reissued. However, with her case being retried and her release without a conviction, the household registration won’t be resolved so quickly. Therefore, they can’t get the marriage certificate yet."
"That’s just it. Since they are not married yet, there’s always a chance."
"Isn’t it the New Year in a few days? I heard your brother has agreed to return to Blue Mountain Villa for the New Year. You should work on improving your relationship with your father these next few days, and strive for us to move over there too."
