Chapter 39: Chapter 39: You Must Forgive Me

Bai Siqi couldn’t sit still.

’She had to confirm it for herself—was that man really Qin Wenhao?!’

She turned and headed out.

Seeing her run outside, Mrs. Bai immediately shouted, "Where are you going? Your face is still swollen!"

’That little bitch Fu Mingxue is just too cruel.’ Thinking of how that little bitch was the cause of the string of disasters that had befallen her family, Mrs. Bai seethed with hatred.

"Mom, stay out of this—"

Bai Siqi threw the words over her shoulder and left without looking back.

She quickly arrived outside the Fu’s house.

Unfortunately, the main gate was closed.

She couldn’t just barge in.

Just then, an angry shout rang out, "Bai Siqi, what are you doing skulking around my house again?"

Bai Siqi, who already had a guilty conscience, jumped out of her skin at the sudden shout.

She spun around to see Fu Mingxue charging toward her.

This terrified her. Thinking Fu Mingxue was about to hit her, she instinctively covered her face.

"Bai Siqi, you must have a death wish! How dare you come to my house? What is it, you just can’t seem to live without me?"

Fu Mingxue stared menacingly at Bai Siqi. "I’m counting to three. Get lost, right now. Otherwise, just watch me break your leg."

Bai Siqi was genuinely scared of her like this.

"—Why are you acting like this? I just came to apologize—"

Fu Mingxue’s eyes narrowed, and then she scoffed. "You came to apologize?"

"Yes, I came to apologize! I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight before. I just wanted to go to college too badly... In any case, it’s all my fault. I’m truly, truly sorry—"

Just then, quite a few neighbors started coming out of their homes.

They arrived just in time to see Bai Siqi bowing to Fu Mingxue in apology. ’Huh? What’s all this about?’

"Fu Mingxue, please forgive me! If you don’t forgive me, I’ll feel awful—"

Seeing Bai Siqi’s red-rimmed eyes, the neighbors actually started to feel she was quite pitiful. ’After all, who hasn’t made mistakes?’

’If she knows she was wrong and is willing to change, there’s no need to keep holding it over her head...’

Just then, Fu Mingxue let out a cold laugh:

"Why should I forgive you? Do you really think a simple apology fixes everything? By that logic, if someone commits murder, all they have to do is get teary-eyed, squeeze out a few crocodile tears, and everything’s fine? They don’t even need to go to jail? I mean, they did apologize *so* sincerely, after all—"

The neighbors were at a loss.

They were instantly brought back to their senses.

’That’s right! In this world, you can’t solve every problem just by crying and saying you’re sorry.’

"I don’t want to get tangled up with your family, and I don’t want you constantly showing up in front of me. After all, you people were plotting my death! I can’t afford to be careless and fall into one of your traps."

"As the saying goes, ’A thief can scheme for a thousand days, but no one can stand guard for a thousand days.’ I can’t be on alert forever. If you were truly sorry, you wouldn’t be anywhere near us."

"You keep showing up, again and again. What are you plotting this time?"

Fu Mingxue’s words finally made the neighbors understand.

Their gazes toward Bai Siqi changed completely. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

’Fu Mingxue was right. If she were truly sorry, the best thing to do would be to stop pestering her.’

’Why does she insist on showing up in front of Fu Mingxue like this? She must have ulterior motives!’

Bai Siqi, of course, felt the shift in everyone’s gazes. They were all looking at her with condemnation.

’Dammit. No wonder these people will be poor their whole lives.’

"Mingxue, just say you forgive me, and I’ll do my best to stay out of your sight from now on. If you don’t say it, it means you still haven’t forgiven me—"
