Chapter 142 – A Forced Apology (3)

After they were stopped outside that morning, Li Chengzheng had it figured out. He knew that he needed to apologize carefully tonight. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have the chance to apologize next time!

Losing a customer like HB, they would be hurting at least for the next three years. The Li’s might even drop off the prestigious family list altogether. That was a loss that they could handle.

Nevermind about having his daughter apologize, even he himself was willing to apologize to make things better.

“Shut up, Li Yiru! If you still don’t know what you have done wrong, I will buy you a plane ticket today so you can go figure it out overseas!”Li Chengzheng scolded her. “We have spoiled you too much at home. Your mom and I had made too many mistakes when it came to raising you.

“You apologize to Miss Gu right now and hand her the gifts.” He was very authoritative when he said that.

When he turned to Gu Shishi, however, he had the resignation of an old father.

“Niece Gu, whether you accept our apologies or not, you must accept these gifts. Xiao Ru’s mother and I had handpicked these for you. Think of them as your Uncle Li trying to make up to you. It was my fault for not having to teach my daughter properly. I am sorry about her rudeness toward you.” Li Chengzheng’s words were proper and respectful.

Anyone who had heard them would be pacified.

Gu Shishi never thought about whether to forgive them or not. She couldn’t even be bothered to learn of Miss Li’s name. If Li Chengzheng didn’t repeat it over and over again today, she really had no idea what her name was.

But his words made her look at Li Yifu with envy.

“You have a good father.”

Gu Shishi was an orphan in her previous life. After she had transmigrated over, she didn’t have much in terms of parental love either. She had always relied on only herself.

Even her master had told her that she had to rely on her own hard work.

Unlike these girls from the prestigious families. So carefree and so happy...

Li Yiru was planning on struggling some but she accidentally caught sight of Gu Shishi’s enchanting look. Her look was a bit pitiful. The yearning and envy was only... too obvious.

Li Yiru was a bit stunned.

Wait, something wasn’t right here. Why was she here again? And why was Gu Shishi looking at her like that?

Yes, she was here to apologize. But she was in the right. She didn’t feel that she had done anything wrong.

She was only doing this today for her family.

But now... why did she feel that she had really bullied Gu Shishi?

As though she was the unreasonable thug and she was about to make this fragile girl cry?!

“Ugh...” said Li Yiru awkwardly.

Did Gu Shishi get the wrong script??

Li Chengzheng, on the other hand, did not miss the look in Gu Shishi’s eyes.

“Poor thing. You had a difficult few years, huh?”

He couldn’t help but sigh.

He has, after all, been in the management of his company for a long, long time, and he had interviewed many individuals.

He knew that the look on Gu Shishi right now was genuine.

She was envious of his daughter; envious that she has a complete family and the paternal love that everybody else had.

Thinking about what had happened to Gu Shishi and imagining that had happened to his own daughter, he could feel a pain in his chest.

He’d go insane if his Xiao Ru was taken away from him for 20 years!

What the heck was that Gu Jiangxin doing?

He had just found his own daughter and he sent her straight to her fiance’s place? The one rumored to bring calamity to anyone near him?

And that Gu Jiangxin even watched his own daughter being bullied at a banquet?

“You can always come to your Uncle Li if you need anything in the future.”

Li Chengzheng let out another sigh.

Nevermind about anything else, if it was his daughter who was splashed with red wine and was called a “peasant girl”, he’d for sure go and have a talk with Gu Jiangxin! He would force the Gu’s daughter’s head down and have her apologize to Xiao Ru.

“Xiao Ru, apologize to Niece Gu.”
