Chapter 517: No Need to Be Humble, You Can Take Turns

The sound of the wine glass shattering attracted the attention of others. Their gazes kept gathering in this direction.

Song Jinwen subconsciously wanted to hide the soiled dress, but she couldn’t. She felt as if everyone was looking at her. Seeing her in such a sorry state, their gazes were like knives slashing at her face.

She had just told Lin Gantang that it wouldn’t look good if she blew things up. Now, Lin Gantang had clearly told her that she wasn’t afraid.

Just as Song Jinwen was feeling embarrassed and wanted to avoid everyone, Hou Qianxi saw Lin Zhaonan walking over with a frown on his face. Wen Yanqing was behind him.

Hou Qianxi was alarmed. She pushed Song Jinwen forward. “Hurry and apologize to her.”

“Me?” Song Jinwen looked in disbelief at her friend who pushed her out to protect herself. “You were the one who provoked her first. Why should I apologize?”

“You were the one who splashed the wine!” Hou Qianxi panicked.

“You don’t have to be humble,” Lin Gantang said coldly. “You can take turns.

Both of you have to admit your mistakes.”

Neither of them was willing to speak first and pulled at each other.

Lin Zhaonan came over and saw Jiang Tongtong’s dirtied dress. His sharp gaze swept across Hou Qianxi and Song Jinwen. He pulled Jiang Tongtong to his side and said in an unpleasant tone, “Are you the ones bullying my wife?”

On the other side, CEO Hou, who had brought Hou Qianxi, also saw Hou Qianxi. He noticed the commotion and hurried over. He happened to hear Lin Gantang answer Lin Zhaonan’s question.

“They bullied Tongtong as she has a good temper. They were jealous of her family’s happiness. They ran up to her and mocked her. They even deliberately splashed Tongtong with wine.”

“Xiao Xi, apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Lin right now!” Mr. Hou was irate.

Hou Qianxi’s face was colorful. She didn’t dare to disobey her uncle’s words. The person who refused to acknowledge her wrongdoings earlier bit her lip. “I’m sorry!”

“Mr. Lin, I’ll teach her a lesson. I’m really sorry for dirtying your wife’s dress. I’ll compensate her for it. I’ll ask Hou Qianxi to come and apologize again another day. Will you let this pass?” President Hou said.

Lin Zhaonan didn’t want to push things too far. He said, “CEO Hou is a reasonable person. I don’t want to make things difficult for Miss Hou on purpose, but my wife has to be the one to agree to forgive her.”

“Yes, you’re right. That should be the way,” CEO Hou said.

CEO Hou didn’t mean to be humble, but Hou Qianxi was an unreasonable person. He had been in the business world for so many years and knew that the best way to solve the problem was to correct her attitude.

He asked Hou Qianxi to apologize and he apologized again before taking her away.

Hou Qianxi looked at the serious and ugly expression her uncle directed at her after turning around and followed him uneasily.

Ever since Hou Xiaoai was convicted, her uncle had been stricter with the younger generation in the family. Because Hou Qianxi was relatively capable, CEO Hou had personally brought her along to teach her more. Now, Hou Qianxi knew that she was finished; her uncle would definitely not let her off lightly.

Song Jinwen wasn’t as lucky as Hou Qianxi, who had a relative who was willing to come forward and take her away. Her father’s face had already turned black. He stood not far away from her, clearly asking her to deal with it herself.

She secretly liked Lin Zhaonan. Even if he was married, she still couldn’t let him go. She endured it and didn’t disturb Lin Zhaonan’s life, but when she saw Jiang Tongtong, she still couldn’t suppress her jealousy.

The person she liked was protecting another person that she looked down on. She couldn’t bring herself to bend over and apologize.

“I won’t apologize. Getting me to apologize is impossible!” She glared hard at Jiang Tongtong, lifted her skirt, and ran out of the banquet hall..
