Nan Qingqing’s face changed dramatically, and she stepped back, "I don’t know what you’re talking about—I have to go now."
She hurried away from there.
However, Nan Yu had no intention of letting her go. She stepped forward and directly grabbed her hand, her eyes flashing with cold light.
"Nan Qingqing, if you have forgotten, no problem—I’ll help you remember."
She dragged Nan Qingqing towards the banquet hall, saying as they walked, "The matter of the apology and kowtow we bet on earlier, I believe everyone here remembers."
Seeing this, Meng Yi anxiously followed them.
"Nan Yu, let go of Qingqing. She’s always been frail—don’t bully her."
As they entered the banquet hall, all eyes turned to them.
In her panic, Nan Qingqing caught sight of Huo Juanyan entering the door, a glint of hope flashing before her eyes.
She frantically broke free from Nan Yu’s grip, fell to her knees in the banquet hall, and began crying bitterly.
She sobbed pitifully, holding her head, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please don’t hit me; I’ll apologize right now."
Having said that, she kowtowed loudly in front of everyone to Nan Yu.
In a moment, Nan Yu appeared like a great villain, mistreating the little white rabbit, Nan Qingqing.
Everyone looked displeased and began accusing Nan Yu.
"Nan Yu, that’s too much. It was just a game, why resort to hitting?"
"Miss Nan, get up—don’t kowtow anymore."
"Nan Yu, even if you are a skilled doctor, this character is too despicable. You don’t deserve to be a doctor, no wonder Vice Chairman Gu left angrily."
Instantly, Nan Yu became the target of everyone, all the blame placed on her.
Yet Nan Qingqing, feeling it was not enough, deliberately turned her tearful face towards Huo Juanyan at the door.
"Young Master Huo, please persuade Sister to stop hitting me. I really realize my mistake."
Huo Juanyan stared at Nan Qingqing’s hypocritical face, reminded she was still his wife in name and represented the Huo Family’s face in front of so many people.
He caressed his fingertips, suppressed his disgust for Nan Qingqing, and spoke up, "Since she has already apologized by kowtowing, let’s just let it go."
Nan Yu, somewhat surprised, looked at him, raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Nan Qingqing.
"Nan Qingqing, our bet was that if you lost, you would apologize by kowtowing. You’ve done that, so let’s leave it at that."
Nan Qingqing continued sobbing, "Sister, I won’t dare anymore in the future."
Nan Yu, watching her feigning pity, narrowed her eyes and suddenly felt like playing the villain to the end.
"Nan Qingqing, you instigated everything tonight, and you eagerly agreed to the bet. Now that you’ve lost, you should accept it gracefully. Stop acting pitiful and innocent."
"Otherwise, I’m afraid I really won’t be able to stop myself from giving you a beating and confirming the crimes you accuse me of."
Nan Qingqing instantly thought of the strong man who had been sent to hospital by Nan Yu earlier. Her body trembled involuntarily, experiencing fear of Nan Yu for the first time.
Nan Yu looked down at her, "Nan Qingqing, you are a lady of the Nan Family, still kneeling on the ground, how disgraceful. Get up quickly."
Nan Qingqing sprang up from the ground, tears streaming down her face like a grievously wronged puppy.
"Sister, I’m heading back first."
Meng Yi quickly followed and they left together.
Once outside, in the car, Nan Qingqing immediately dropped her pitiful act, turned her head to Meng Yi with a smile, and said, "Did you capture everything just now?"
Meng Yi promptly handed his phone to Nan Qingqing, "Qingqing, fortunately, I didn’t remove my earphones. I heard you whisper to me to record a video. Otherwise, this video might not have been successfully recorded."
Nan Qingqing, watching the video where she could clearly see herself kneeling and suffering, while Nan Yu towered over, bullying her, couldn’t help but laugh.
"With this video, Duan Zhu will definitely not let Nan Yu off."
