The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 73 Reluctant

“And Cousin Ji Yan,” Cheng Songyang added smiling, “It’s my fault for not being considerate enough. I should apologize to him in person.”

“Is not convenient for Mr. Ji to come out. There’s no need to trouble him with such a small matter,” A thought flashed through Shen Hanxing’s mind, but she remained emotionless. Then she said calmly, “I’m sure you can understand, Mr. Cheng?”

Cheng Songyang looked at Shen Hanxing’s face as if he wanted to see through her thoughts. Anyone would have goosebumps under such a gaze, but Shen Hanxing was very calm. She was still emotionless as she raised her hand to call the waiter over and ordered him, “Go and call Miss Ji to come out.”

“Sister-in-law, did you call me?” Ji Qian rushed downstairs excitedly. When she saw the person standing in front of Shen Hanxing, her smile froze, and she rolled her eyes.

“Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I have a friend waiting for me. If you don’t have anything else you want to say, I’ll go and meet them first,” Although Ji Qian wasn’t smart, the previous incident was enough to teach her a lesson. She knew that some sisters were insincere.

She was the fourth heir of the Ji Corporation. In addition to Shen Hanxing’s current reputation in the socialite circle, many socialites could not speak to Shen Hanxing directly. So, they tried to get to know Ji Qian first. Therefore, Ji Qian was still the center of attention. Before Shen Hanxing called her, she boasted about Shen Hanxing to the other socialites. She didn’t want to be interrupted by the Cheng family.

“Wait,” Shen Hanxing patted her hand and said meaningfully, “Aunt Ji and Mr. Cheng brought Cheng Liu here to apologize. You’re involved, so you should hear it.”

Cheng Liu’s eyes instantly turned red. Ji Qian, who was born into a wealthy family but lived like a fool, always looked down upon her. Now that she had to apologize to Ji Qian face to face, she was reluctant to do so. She clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Ji Qian’s patience had come to its limit. “Are you going to apologize or not? You’re wasting my time.”

Ji Mei’s face turned gloomy. But when she thought of her son’s advice, she could only smile apologetically. “Qianqian, your cousin cried for a long time after she went back and felt sorry for you. She realized her mistake.”

She pushed Cheng Liu. “Xiao Liu, didn’t you say that you wanted to apologize to Qianqian when you were at home? Why aren’t you saying anything now?”.

Even her mother wasn’t helping her!

Cheng Liu felt wronged. Why couldn’t her mother understand how she felt? She couldn’t help but think in her heart. They were all family. Even Shen Hanxing protected her sister-in-law, yet Cheng Liu’s mother only knew how to force her to apologize. The awkward situation made Cheng Liu extremely embarrassed. She couldn’t help but blame her mother in her heart.

“Xiao Liu,” Cheng Songyang raised his hand calmly. His large palm gently held Cheng Liu’s shoulder and pressed twice in a place that others could not see. There was a gentle smile on his face. He looked like he was reminding her gently, “What did I say to you before you came? If you admit your mistake, then you are a good sister. Be good and apologize to Qianqian.”

He looked like a good brother who taught his sister to be nice.

However, Cheng Liu felt a chill run down her spine. When she thought of what happened in the office, she could not help but tremble. She did not dare to hesitate anymore. “Qianqian, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have accused you without any reason. It’s all my fault. I should have trusted you and protected

you.”

“I wasn’t gloating. I was afraid that you would anger Old Master Zhuang…” Cheng Liu lifted her head. Tears streamed down her face. She was already sad enough and did not need to put on an act. Her face was pale, and she sobbed, “It’s my fault for handling things the wrong way. Please forgive me, okay?” Ji Qian gritted her teeth. She could feel the gazes from all directions. According to the rules of the upper-class society, Cheng Liu had already apologized to her face-to-face. She should be magnanimous and forgive her. After all, blood was thicker than water. A socialite who did not hold grudges and was magnanimous was qualified. She would be a perfect woman to marry.

But why? She was reluctant to accept that apology!

Although Cheng Liu appeared sincere on the surface, Ji Qian knew Cheng Liu did not realize her mistake. Ji Qian was not a fool. Chen Tingting’s apology was not from herself. Regardless of whether Cheng Liu was the one who instigated this, the true self that Cheng Liu showed made Ji Qian realize that she could not trust Cheng Liu. She wanted to break off her relationship with Cheng Liu if she could.
