“Yao Jing, the reason why I don’t accept your apology is that you think your mistake was saying the wrong things and landing yourself in such a situation, not because you hurt me! Your apology is only for yourself, it has nothing to do with sincerity!”
“That’s why I will never accept your apology. No matter how apologetic you are, I will never accept it!” Yao Jing was smart, and her threat was many times more dangerous than Ye Ying’s.
The clever thing about her was that she would not be implicated in all of these after she had hurt people.
Taking a step back from a person like Yao Jing would not bring you peace, it only shows weakness. She would continue to push her luck and take advantage of it.
It was best to let her understand now that Ye Jian was not someone she could provoke as she wished! There will be consequences and it will not be something that she could bear!
Yao Jing didn’t dare to say anymore. Her face was still stinging with pain, and she understood that she had picked on the wrong person! She had thought that Ye Jian would be easily manipulated like Ye Ying. Although Ye Jian seemed upright and well-disciplined, she was not someone who could be provoked!
She was like a cactus flower, full of grace and beauty. But when you touch or provoke her... she would make you bleed and think twice before acting lightly again.
She lowered her head and didn’t see her infuriated father. He was barely suppressing his rage. If it wasn’t for her mother’s incessant pleas in her gaze, her father would have slapped her.
Ye Jian looked at the pair and her harsh, cold tone immediately softened. She politely remarked, “Uncle, Auntie, if today it was me who insulted the both of you and threatened to kick Yao Jing out of school, would you forgive me easily?”
“I only slapped Yao Jing for the sake of defending my mom. It was for her. If I can’t even protect my deceased parents’ dignity as a daughter, how can I face anyone?”
“I won’t forgive Yao Jing, please forgive me, Uncle and Auntie.”
She did not leave an overbearing impression on the elders, but she would let them understand that teenagers could not be taken advantage of.
Yao Jing’s parents heard Ye Jian and were put on the spot. Ye Jian was neither humble nor pushy and was polite yet full of character. It only made the couple feel ashamed.
“These two military leaders, we have failed as parents. We raised such an ostentatious daughter. It’s normal for Student Ye not to forgive her. We will strictly discipline her and we will not let her carry on .”
“If something happens to Ye Jian, as long as I find out that it has anything to do with Yao Jing, I will personally send her to the Youth Detention Center! I will never let her come out to harm others!”
Her father’s promise was a layer of protection to suppress Yao Jing.
Ye Jian looked down and said indifferently, “I came to Provincial No.1 Middle School to study, not to cause trouble. If no one provokes me, I will not provoke them. I will remember this and if Yao Jing does anything to me, I won’t sit still.”
Standing alone by the side, Yao Jing’s face was pale as she lowered her head gently and her fingers fidgeted. No matter how angry or how unwilling she was, she was powerless. She realized that she had kicked a block of steel[1].
