C2352 I'm Sorry
Du Ruoqing covered her face with one hand while looking at Du Old Master in disbelief. Grandpa actually hit her for an outsider?!
Grandpa actually wanted her to apologize to Huo Niannian?!
Du Ruoqing felt that there was a pair of hands tearing at her heart. She clearly did not do anything wrong! All of this was clearly Huo Niannian who deserved it!
Why should she apologize...
Why didn't her family stand on her side...
Tears kept falling down like broken beads.
Du Ruoqing felt as if she had returned to that dark cell again. No one was willing to help her, no one was willing to help her.
She turned around numbly. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She faced Huo Niannian and bent down in humiliation, "I'm sorry..."
Du Old Master heaved a sigh of relief. His body swayed again. Fortunately, Father Du was supporting him by the side. That was why he did not fall.
It was a huge blow to him for his granddaughter to do such a thing.
He was very clear that only by making Du Ruoqing apologize and express the attitude of the Du Family would Gu Tingshen be able to quell his anger and spare Du Ruoqing.
But Du Ruoqing couldn't understand his painstaking efforts.
Du Old Master staggered down from the high platform, his waist bent from the pressure.
He walked in front of Gu Tingshen and sighed. "This is her fault. It should be left to you to deal with."
Gu Tingshen looked at Du Old Master with a heavy gaze. He respected Du Old Master. If it wasn't for Du Ruoqing's actions, he wouldn't have made things difficult for Old Master.
However, Niannian was his bottom line and he couldn't give in.
Du Old Master seemed to have seen through Gu Tingshen's thoughts. He turned his eyes to Huo Niannian, who was beside him.
Old Master's face looked a little better. He admired Huo Niannian a lot. He had never thought that Huo Niannian would be able to show the essence of Guangling Powder at such a young age.
Unfortunately, his granddaughter was very muddle-headed.
Du Old Master's tone softened a little. He said to Huo Niannian, "Girl, I have frightened you. I apologize to you on behalf of my disappointing granddaughter."
How could she accept Du Old Master apologizing to her?
Huo Niannian hurriedly said, "Du Grandpa doesn't need to apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing to Grandpa. It was my fault for ruining your birthday banquet."
She slightly tilted her head and looked at Gu Tingshen.
They were husband and wife. She understood what Gu Tingshen was thinking.
He didn't want to let Du Ruoqing go, and he also didn't want to make things difficult for an ancient old man.
Huo Niannian smiled lightly. He was not willing to let her suffer, and of course, she was also not willing to make things difficult for him.
Feeling Huo Niannian's gaze, Gu Tingshen lowered his head. He saw the smile in her eyes and also saw the thoughts in her heart clearly.
Gu Tingshen slightly curled his lips, and his eyes became gentle.
His little rose was always thinking for him.
Huo Niannian smiled and held his big hand. She said to Du Old Master, "Du Grandpa, today is your birthday banquet. It is our junior's fault to make you worry. Don't worry. Since Du Miss had already apologized, we will not make things difficult for her."
Du Old Master smiled. He didn't see the wrong person.2
Huo Niannian and Gu Tingshen were both good children with pure hearts.
Their concession saved his dignity today.
Du Old Master sighed with emotion in his heart. He thanked her a few more times before he was supported by Father Du and left.
Du Ruoqing's face was in a sorry state. Although she still had malicious thoughts in her heart, she did not have the time to play her cards and was taken away by Du Madam.
A farce ended with Du Ruoqing's apology. Du Old Master's interest was exhausted by his granddaughter's actions. However, due to the presence of many guests, he had no choice but to put up a strong front.
All the guests were aware of the situation and tactful. They didn't talk about the farce just now. They toasted and toasted, and they toasted and changed cups. On the surface, they looked unusually harmonious.
Shen Guanlin held the wine cup in his hand and shook it. He lazily withdrew his gaze.
The good show was over. It was time for him to leave.
