Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Apology
Old Madam Zhong even placed her hand on Zhong Niangyao’s forehead, her tone filled with worry, “Yaoyao, are you still feeling unwell?”
After saying that, she turned around and addressed Old Sir Zhong, “Old man, hurry and call the doctor for another check-up for Yaoyao.”
Old Sir Zhong didn’t dare to delay and was about to rush out.
Zhong Niangyao suddenly said she didn’t like Li Jingyang anymore, such a big change made everyone suspect that there could be something wrong with her mind.
“Grandpa, no!” Zhong Niangyao hurriedly stopped Old Sir Zhong, who was about to leave, and then cooed, “Grandpa, Grandma, aren’t you happy that I’m willing to give up on Li Jingyang?”
“After this life-and-death ordeal, I’ve now fully awakened.”
Is that true, Yaoyao?” Old Sir Zhong tentatively asked, “Have you really given up on that Li Jingyang?”
“I swear, I will never like Li Jingyang ever again,” Ye Leng’an affirmed solemnly, “otherwise, may I end up alone forever.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, child, don’t talk nonsense,” Old Madam Zhong quickly covered Zhong Niangyao’s mouth, “Aren’t we believing you already?”
“Yaoyao, rest assured, Grandpa will find the best grandson-in-law for you,” Old Sir Zhong quickly said, “What’s so good about that Li Jingyang? He’s just an illegitimate child.”
Li Jingyang’s background wasn’t a secret in high society. Li Jingyang’s mother was a hostess and later became Mr. Lai Li Chengjun’s mistress. Only due to a fortuitous rescue of Elder Mrs. Lai did Li Jingyang get a chance to enter their household. Even so, the reputation of Li Jingyang as Young Master Lai was merely nominal.
While Zhong Niangyao and Old Sir Zhong were chatting and laughing, the door was suddenly knocked on, and the people who walked in immediately caused Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s faces to darken.
The visitor was none other than Li Jingyang and his birth mother, Chen Sisi.
“What are you doing here?” Old Sir Zhong’s smiling face instantly vanished, “We do not welcome you here, get out.”
“Old Sir Zhong, Old Madam Zhong, I specifically brought Jingyang here to apologize,” Chen Sisi inwardly sighed, her face wearing a forced smile, “This whole affair was Jingyang’s fault. He just wanted to joke with Nianyao, not expecting it to turn out this way. In fact, he already knows he was wrong.”
She had originally planned for Li Jingming to apologize to Zhong Niangyao first, and after gaining her forgiveness, to then apologize to the Zhong Family. As long as Zhong Niangyao, as the concerned party, was willing to forgive, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong wouldn’t be overly harsh.
During the conversation, she pushed Li Jingyang, who was beside her, “Hurry up and apologize to Nianyao.”
Seeing Chen Sisi’s warning look, Li Jingyang spoke reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Zhong Niangyao, this was my fault. I shouldn’t have made such a joke that led you to jump into the river.”
Seeing Li Jingyang’s attitude, Old Sir Zhong’s face immediately soured, “Get out——”
“Old Sir Zhong, please don’t be angry,” Chen Sisi quickly tried to mollify him with an apologetic smile, then she pushed Li Jingyang, “Jingyang, you indeed went too far this time, offer a proper apology now.”
