Chapter 118: Take Responsibility
Liu Che’s mother explained with a smile. Since her child had already agreed to apologize, she did not say anything else. She even took the initiative to approach Ji Mo. "Ji Mo, Auntie has also done something wrong in the past. I’m sorry. How about this? I will treat you to lunch as an apology, okay?"
That was the first time Ji Mo had faced such a situation, and he was at a loss. He subconsciously looked at Shen Hanxing. However, his sister-in-law pursed her lips as she stood by the side and watched the show, not intending to help.
"No, it’s alright," Ji Mo subconsciously rejected.
"No, I insist on buying you lunch," Liu Che’s mother was enthusiastic. "I thank your sister-in-law, and Liu Che has indeed done something wrong. Ji Mo, you have to give me a chance to apologize. You don’t have to accept Liu Che’s apology so soon. You can look at his performance and let him slowly make it up to you, okay?"
Liu Che’s mother was different from those upper-class ladies who paid attention to face and etiquette. Her attitude of apologizing was sincere.
"Liu Che didn’t do anything wrong..." Ji Mo lowered his head and muttered. Indeed, Liu Che didn’t do anything excessive, but those insults and ostracism were serious to the adolescent children. He didn’t want to justify Liu Che’s wrongdoings, but he did understand Liu Che’s actions.
Liu Che laughed embarrassedly. "Bro, I know I was too impulsive in the past and couldn’t settle the score on your mother or my father. So I vented all my anger on you. You don’t have to forgive me for courtesy’s sake. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can beat me up. I promise I won’t fight back."
Seeing him like this, Ji Mo still felt uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and smiled. "Forget it. My hand will hurt when I beat you up." Actually, Liu Che wasn’t a jerk. At least he took responsibility.
"Then for lunch today..." Liu Che’s mother looked at Ji Mo expectantly.
