Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 688 - 690: Just Not Accepting Apologies

Looking at Zhuge Mingshan kneeling right in front of her, Cao Na’s emotions were truly mixed.

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Back then, I was young and clueless."

"For the sake of my ignorance at that time, please don’t hold it against me."

Zhuge Mingshan felt various discomforts coming from her knees, and could sense dampness creeping into them; she felt the snow beneath had melted, and her pants were getting wet.

If it were before, Zhuge Mingshan would have been furious, who dared to bully her like this? But now, she could only endure it; she couldn’t just give up.

If she gave up like this, she would have suffered for nothing, and more importantly, she would lose her only leverage entirely.

She is a child, so don’t hold it against her—is this an apology face?

"Is this your apology?"

"You didn’t understand before, do you still not understand now?" Seeing Zhuge Mingshan made Cao Na furious, wishing she could rush over and hit her hard, wanting her to endure the same pain her sister once did.

Gong Ruini saw the crowd gathering around, her gaze cooled down—this was an attempt to force the Cao Family to yield to her.

"Zhuge, did you bully Cao Na?" Gong Ruini looked puzzled, "If you bullied Cao Na, what did you bully her about, that you have to kneel and apologize?"

Humph, isn’t it about trying to leverage public opinion to make everyone concede?

Alright, let’s follow your intentions and see how you persist.

Bully Cao Na? "I didn’t, I didn’t." She almost enraged Cao Na, almost made her lose control.

As long as Cao Na took a swing at her, Zhuge Mingshan knew she’d be a lot safer, but why did this happen, why did this annoying Gong Ruini suddenly appear?

Her gaze was icy when she looked at Gong Ruini; if looks could kill, her eyes would turn into ice knives flying across.

Indeed, just as it should be, Gong Ruini trembled all over, "Zhuge, what’s the matter."

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Gong Ruini tightly held Cao Na, ready to rush over; the plot had reached this point, absolutely couldn’t fail at this moment.

Now everyone also noticed Zhuge Mingshan’s unfriendly gaze, "Wow, her eyes are terrifying."

"Exactly."

"What Gong Ruini said wasn’t wrong after all." Initially, people were terrified by Zhuge Mingshan’s sudden kneeling, lost the ability to think, but now they were waking up one by one.

Cao Na, too, was sobered by the cold wind, her mind much clearer, "You pushed my sister into a thin ice-covered pond back then, but didn’t apologize, and now apologizing for what?"

"This wasn’t something you did to my sister. You come and apologize to me, hoping I’d forgive you. Sorry, I am not my sister."

After getting back to normal, Cao Na showed she was skilled at acting too, "Since you didn’t apologize a few years ago."

"And later, there was no apology whatsoever, not even from your family, now more so should not be an apology."

As Cao Na spoke, she became calmer, "My sister is doing well now."

After saying this, she turned to leave for school holding Gong Ruini’s hand, "I don’t know why you’re apologizing." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"And still apologizing here, in my view, it really shows no sincerity."

Ah, just left like that, Zhuge Mingshan was dumbfounded; did she kneel for nothing, did she suffer in vain, this loss seemed quite significant for her.

Seeing Zhuge Mingshan’s knee area of her pants wet, someone felt Zhuge Mingshan was a bit pitiful, originally there was some unanimous critical voice, now some people felt sorry for her.

Listening to people beside saying it wasn’t easy for her, though not getting Cao Na’s acceptance, so what, these people would prove how sincere she was to apologize.

"Someone just has wet pants, while someone is drenched from head to toe."

"The perpetrator didn’t give a single explanation afterward, even the victim’s parents went to demand an explanation but were shut out, no one said the girl should receive any lessons."

"Later, talking about this matter outside, the little girl just casually said she pushed the wrong person, also questioned why the victim stood there, otherwise someone else would have fallen in."

Who? Who is this, is this matter connected to him? How dare he stand up and speak about this, Zhuge Mingshan turned pale, thinking this matter was long past and shouldn’t be remembered.

After all, so many things happen every day, how could anyone remember, didn’t expect someone remembered it so clearly, what to do, Zhuge Mingshan panicked.

Impossible, there were people justifying for Zhuge Mingshan, but suddenly someone stood out and said this matter, though didn’t directly state who the perpetrator and victim were, but just staring at Zhuge Mingshan the entire time, and her pale face, even a fool could understand this matter.

If it was true back then, then it was intentional, and after retaliating against the wrong person, didn’t even apologize, such a person is terrifying, everyone’s gaze towards Zhuge Mingshan was quite strange.

"I remember you were just four then, simply because a little girl was more favored."

"I originally thought you’d have changed over these years, but looking at you now, seemingly unchanged, just like that girl in my memory."

"Though apologizing is right, shouldn’t you apologize to the real person involved?"

To apologize to the real person involved, but she has to be here, "She’s not in Beijing, how do I apologize."

If this didn’t happen, she wouldn’t apologize, Zhuge Mingshan grew more annoyed thinking about it, those truly were idiotic teammates, such a good opportunity and they handled it like this.

The real person involved isn’t here, the other person dragged out the tone meaningfully, "Actually it’s still you not wanting to apologize, or you suddenly encounter a situation forcing you to apologize."

This big accusation, Zhuge Mingshan wouldn’t admit it, admitting the latter would indicate her apology wasn’t sincere.

"No, it’s not, I sincerely want to apologize." Zhuge Mingshan was nervous, regretting deeply inside, had she known it would turn out like this, she certainly wouldn’t have apologized today.

Now it’s clear, didn’t succeed in digging a pit for Cao Na, instead buried herself inside.

"Sincerely apologize, then wait for the real person involved to return and apologize."

"You kneeling here in the snow isn’t insisting that Cao Na accept your apology, but she’s not involved, how can she accept your apology, do you intend to make others think Cao Na isn’t nice and petty?"

Zhuge Mingshan really wanted to cry; she really didn’t know who this person was, how come he pushed her step by step, at a loss he’s a man yet so difficult to deal with.

"I’m not, I never thought that way."

"I never thought that way, I’m truly apologizing."

Zhuge Mingshan really wanted to kneel down again, but didn’t have the chance to before kneeling.

"Hey, don’t kneel, you kneeling like this counts for what, for us bullying you?"

"Exactly, exactly." People around pointed at Zhuge Mingshan, they weren’t fools, though Zhuge Mingshan was pathetic, this was her own doing, no one forced her.
