From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 884: Fake Apology

Wen Ruo was unhappy with this.

“Just act nice tomorrow.
At dinner, take the initiative to say nice things.
Just try to gain Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan’s favor.
Don’t retort even if they say harsh words.
After all, your father and your grandparents will also be present.
If they see you getting bullied and treated harshly, their hearts will naturally be biased towards you.”

Cai Qinyue knew that Jian Yiling had a frank and unrelenting personality.
As a result, she wouldn’t choose to easily forgive Wen Ruo.

Therefore, when she made the situation awkward, even if she was originally right, her points would still become invalid.

###

When Wen Cheng invited Wen Nuan over for dinner, Wen Nuan asked for Jian Yiling’s opinion before she replied to her brother.

If her daughter said no, she wouldn’t go.

However, to her surprise, Jian Yiling agreed to go.
As a result, she said yes to her brother.

In Wen Nuan’s heart, she did not want to fight with her brother and parents.

After all, they were her family members.

In the evening, Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing went to pick Jian Yiling up from university.
Jian Yiling had just finished her work for the day.
Then, they head over to the Wen family together.

Wen Cheng made a lot of preparations for tonight’s dinner.
In the morning, he went shopping with his servants to select ingredients.
He specifically picked the foods that his sister and niece liked to eat.

Furthermore, he even put off work for today.
Instead, he patiently waited for Jian Yiling, Wen Nuan, and Jian Shuxing’s arrival.

When he saw them appear, Wen Cheng was delighted.

“Shuxing, A Nuan, Yiling! You’re here!” Grandma Wen called out.

When Grandma Wen saw them, she was worried yet happy at the same time.

She was happy that they were here.
However, she was worried that something was going to happen later.

“Mother, we didn’t do anything wrong.
Why wouldn’t we be here?” Wen Nuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wen’s smile became slightly awkward.

She knew that it wouldn’t be an easy task to get her daughter to forgive her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

“Ahh, of course,” Grandma Wen said.

At this time, Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo came down from upstairs.

Cai Qinyue took the initiative to greet Wen Nuan: “A Nuan, Yiling, it’s really great that you guys are willing to come over today.
We assumed that you’d still be angry with us.
It’s our fault for what happened before.
Today, in front of everyone, I would once again like to formally apologize for our actions.”

As she said this, Cai Qinyue bowed.

Then, she took out a brocade box and said to Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling: “There’s a set of jewelry in here.
A Cheng gave me this when I got married to him.
I hope that this is a good apology gift.
I hope you can forgive us.”

Grandma Wen, Grandpa Wen, and Wen Cheng felt incredibly relieved.
It was good that Cai Qinyue took the initiative to apologize to Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling.
In order to make amends, she even took out one of her wedding gifts.

Then, Wen Ruo followed her mother and also deeply bowed to Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling:

“Aunt, cousin, what happened before was my fault.
Being young and ignorant isn’t an excuse for me to make mistakes.
What is wrong wouldn’t become right.
Therefore, I deserve what is happening to me right now.
However, I sincerely hope that you guys can forgive me.”

Wen Ruo’s apology was equally as sincere.

“It’s good to recognize your own mistakes.
A Nuan, Yiling, please just forgive them,” Grandma Wen said.
She tried to help Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo.

However, Wen Nuan still had a stern expression on her face: “Mother, let’s talk about this later.”

She had no intentions to forgive Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo.
At the same time, she made sure that her words weren’t too aggressive.

Grandma Wen lowered her head and asked Jian Yiling: “Yiling, will you forgive your aunt and your cousin?”

“No,” Jian Yiling replied.
Her answer was dry and straightforward.
It was without the slightest hesitation.

Her answer made the entire atmosphere awkward.
The smiles on the Wen family’s faces froze in place.
