Chapter 71: Wanting to Stir Up Trouble
"Apologize?" Jiang Xue sneered. This Cheng Li had a nice plan. Deliberately choosing today with so many guests to apologize, thinking she could manipulate Jiang Xue into forgiving her and reconciling for the sake of face.
But she was wrong. She was no longer the Jiang Xue who valued face over everything, who was presumptuous, following everything Cheng Li said.
So today, no matter how spectacular Cheng Li’s performance was, she wouldn’t cooperate with her.
"Yes, Little Xue, will you forgive me? We’re good friends, you’re always magnanimous, surely you wouldn’t bother about such trifles, right?"
She thought that for the sake of face, Jiang Xue would definitely forgive her.
But she was mistaken. Jiang Xue wasn’t foolish enough to fall for Cheng Li’s tricks again, nor would she let herself be led by the nose. Hence, she looked at Cheng Li with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and asked, "Cheng Li, you want me to forgive you? For what?"
"Me?" Cheng Li was shocked as she looked at Jiang Xue, never expecting her to say such a thing, to embarrass her so in front of everyone.
Could it be she was going to mention that incident in front of everyone? That wouldn’t do. She was recognized as a good girl by everyone, and if that day’s event was revealed, her reputation would be ruined.
Cheng Li sure was Cheng Li; she quickly found a way, which was to show weakness.
So she looked at Jiang Xue sincerely and said, "Little Xue, if you’re still angry, you can hit me or scold me, just don’t treat me like this, okay? If hitting or scolding me can ease your anger, I absolutely won’t fight back or dodge."
