Chapter 390: Came to Apologize?
As soon as they saw her, Tengtang Xi, who was sitting next to Tengtang Li, could not wait to tear the figure apart with her eyes. However, she held her anger in as her hands balled into fists.
It wasn’t until Zuo Weiyi finally approached them that the hidden anger on her face gradually eased as she smiled slightly.
When she saw them, Zuo Weiyi was also a little surprised.
Tengtang Xi stood up with a smile on her face. It was rather difficult to tell whether it was a smile of kindness or sarcasm.
“Miss Zuo, long time no see.”
Zuo Weiyi stopped in her tracks when she saw Tengtang Xi, who was standing in front of her with her hand stretched out. Before she could even respond, Zuo Yi who was sitting on the sofa had already begun speaking.
“Long time no see? I think it has only been a few days since you tried to press charges against my only granddaughter for attempted murder?”
His words were made in a questioning tone, and this made Tengtang Li and Tengtang Xi stunned.
A few seconds later, Tengtang Li recovered from the embarra.s.sment and smiled before he hurriedly said, “Well, Mr. President, the reason why we came here today is to apologize for that!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“Since you are here to apologize, then you can apologize to my granddaughter!” After he was done speaking, Zuo Yi beckoned for Zuo Weiyi to come to him as he said kindly, “Weiyi, come here.”
Zuo Weiyi walked over to them as soon as she heard his words.
“This is my granddaughter. Please apologize to her!” Zuo Yi looked at Tengtang Li before he spoke in a sharp manner.
Tengtang Li suddenly felt a little embarra.s.sed as he glanced at Zuo Weiyi who was standing in front of him.
After all, ever since he became the Minister of Defense, he had never bowed down or apologized to anyone aside from the president. He had never even bowed down or apologized to s.h.i.+ Le, who was on an equal status as him.
Now, he was actually asked to apologize in a humble manner to a young girl. This was somewhat a huge blow to his reputation as a minister.
However, since he was the one who had said it himself, he would have to apologize no matter how much face he had to lose today!
As he thought about this, Tengtang Li raised his eyes to look at Zuo Weiyi, who was standing beside Zuo Yi.
“Miss Zuo, I would like to solemnly apologize to you for everything that happened before this. I can only blame Xi’er for not being sensible. I am sorry that we nearly had to go to criminal court with you!”
After apologizing, Tengtang Li bent his body at a ninety degrees angle. His apology was quite sincere.
When Tengtang Xi who was standing at the side saw her grandfather bowing before Zuo Weiyi, she could not help but feel even more hatred and resentment toward Zuo Weiyi!
However, she knew very well that even if she wanted to kill Zuo Weiyi, she would have to pretend to be sincere for now.
She had to make her careful calculations if she wanted to get rid of her completely.
In the past, she could not even harm Zuo Weiyi because s.h.i.+ Yuting had always been protecting her. Now that Zuo Weiyi had the president’s protection, it would be even more difficult for Tengtang Xi to get rid of her!
As she thought about this, Tengtang Xi could not help but clench her fists tightly again!
On the surface, she was very calm as she acted and pretended as though nothing was wrong at all.
Immediately afterward, Tengtang Xi smiled before she looked at Zuo Weiyi and said, “Miss Zuo, I really want to apologize to you for my actions last time. However, there are a few words in my heart that I will only feel convenient to say to you alone. Do you mind talking to me in private?”
When she saw the smile on her face, Zuo Weiyi could not feel her sincerity at all. She could not help but wonder what kind of tricks Tengtang Xi had up her sleeves this time.
However, this was her grandfather’s presidential villa. Even if she had the courage, she would not be able to do anything to her, right?
Before this, Zuo Weiyi was just an illegitimate child with no one looking out for her. Therefore, she could not help but feel a little inferior in front of many people.
However, things were different now. After reconciling with her grandfather, she no longer felt inferior to others. At the very least, she could defend her own dignity now!
