Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Lili took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. Her voice softened as she said, “Su Yan, it was indeed my fault for what happened last time. I apologize to you for what happened. I hope you can let it go.”
Seeing that she had given in again, Su Yan sipped her orange juice and said, “So? Why did you come to our company’s annual party without an invitation? What do you want?”
She knew why Zhao Lili came and what she was thinking. But she wanted to force Zhao Lili to tell her why she was there. She wanted to humiliate her.
Zhao Lili’s face tumed slightly cold. She knew what Su Yan had in mind. From Su Yan’s expression, Zhao Lili knew she was being played again. Although it was her fault what had happened that night, she did not want to admit her mistake. In her heart, Su Yan would always be that gold digger.
However, the situation was in Su Yan’s favor. She had never expected that her revolving vase was a fake. She would not have believed it if not for the appraisal report Zhao Yuanshan showed her.
She wasnt the only one who didn’t believe it. Even Fan Yumei was insisting that they found a different expert to re-appraise it. Although Zhao Yuanshan did not say it, one could tell from his eyes that he felt that the revolving vase was a fake even if it were appraised a hundred times.
If it was not for the fact that Lan Jian and she were both present that night, she would have suspected that the revolving vase had been swapped by Su Yan. Not only were there surveillance cameras in the worship hall, they were with Su Yan the entire time. Nothing would have escaped their eyes if she
had moved a needle or a thread, let alone swapping something as big as the revolving vase.
Since the revolving vase was not switched, it could only mean one thing. The revolving vase that Zhao Yuanshan bought for 10 million yuan was a fake from the start.
As for why she came here, it was mainly to beg for Su Yan’s forgiveness and not lower herself to Su Yan’s level. Just muddle over their previous bet and let nobody mention it. If it was not for this bet, she wouldn’t have come to the annual party, not even if someone begged her .
Thinking back, she was filled with regret. It would have been great if she didn’t make a video of their bet back then. That way, she wouldn’t be held hostage by Su Yan. Worst case, she could just shamelessly deny everything. Su Yan wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.
The appraisal results were out. Rumor has it that Su Yan and her father received the news almost at the same time. According to their bet, she had to live broadcast her apology to Su Yan in public. Asking her to do that would be harder than killing her. Moreover, she could not afford to lose face, and
neither does the Zhao family. Therefore, the best way right now was to proactively ask Su Yan for forgiveness before Su Yan asked for the bet to be honored.
Although it was still embarrassing to apologize here, it was still better than broadcasting an apology publicly online. There were only so few people at this lousy annual party, and she could tolerate it.
After mentally preparing herself, Zhao Lili nodded. “Su Yan, I’m here to apologize to you. This is the only reason I came uninvited tonight. I’m sorry, please forgive me.”
The corners of Su Yan’s lips curled up, and her eyes met Zhao Lili’s. “Oh, so you’re asking for forgiveness. But this is the first time I’ve seen such an apology.”
“Su Yan, you…” Zhao Lili choked. What did Su Yan mean by this? She had already admitted her mistake, so why was she still not done?
She felt like scolding Su Yan, “Don’t be so mean. I’ve given you face, so hurry up and take it. Don’t be so ungrateful.” These words were at the tip of her tongue but she swallowed them. She could only comfort herself with compromise in her heart.
Su Yan smiled and said, “What’s wrong with me? What were you going to say?”
“Nothing. It’s my fault. I sincerely apologize to you again. I hope that you can forgive me and not lower yourself to my level.” Zhao Lili was terrified.
Although she was fuming with anger, her rational mind told her not to curse out loud. Otherwise, she would have wasted her night here. It’s more important to solve the problem.
Seeing that she didn’t fall for it, Su Yan smiled faintly. “Okay. Whether you apologize or not is your business. I didn’t ask you to apologize and didn’t expect it. As for whether I forgive you or whether I lower myself to your level, that’s my business. Compared to the matter of you pushing me, there seems to
be something more important between us, right?”
Hearing this, Zhao Lili’s face turned pale. She knew what Su Yan was talking about, and it was the very thing that she was most afraid of .
$u Yan took a sip of her orange juice and said, “If I remember correctly, there seems to be a bet between us, and as far as I know, the result of the appraisal for the revolving vase at your house has come out, so….”
