Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 101: Forgive Once

One has to admit, Cheng Li is really good at quibbling. The way she put it made it seem perfectly understandable.

Even the village chief didn’t know what to say to her, while Jiang Xue was so angry she laughed.

When a person is shameless, they are invincible.

Cheng Li had clearly done wrong by opening her letters without permission. But with her explanation, it seemed as if she hadn’t done anything wrong at all.

It was as if the one at fault was her, as if she shouldn’t be holding this over Cheng Li’s head. Because they used to be good friends and shared everything.

This time, pursuing it without sharing it with Cheng Li was her mistake.

"So much for sharing everything. If it’s truly sharing, it must be with my consent. Did I ever agree for you to open my letters even once? By your logic, should I share my husband with you as well?" Jiang Xue retaliated, which changed Cheng Li’s expression.

The village chief also came to his senses, looking at Cheng Li with displeasure. He almost got led astray by Cheng Li. No matter how you put it, letters are personal privacy, and even if two people are good friends and share many things, it is immoral and criminal to invade someone’s privacy without consent.

Seeing the village chief’s displeased face, Cheng Li’s heart sank slightly.

She suddenly realized one thing—she absolutely could not let the village chief become displeased with her. So she changed her attitude, took a few steps towards Jiang Xue, bowed deeply, and said, "Jiang Xue, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I won’t do it again in the future, please forgive me."

Cheng Li’s sudden change of heart left Jiang Xue astonished, also leaving Cheng Ying and Song Anping baffled. This scene really seemed out of place, didn’t it?

Cheng Li had just been adamant that she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why did she suddenly admit to it? Or was she planning something out of the ordinary?

The village chief watched Cheng Li apologize to Jiang Xue, and his expression softened considerably. He thought to himself: The child is teachable, able to adapt, not entirely stupid. freёnovelkiss-com

While apologizing to Jiang Xue, Cheng Li secretly watched the village chief. Seeing his expression, she sighed in relief.

Her gamble paid off!

With a glint in her eye, her expression became more sincere, and her tone more earnest, saying, "Jiang Xue, I’m really sorry, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me one more chance and forgive me, okay? I promise I won’t take your letters again in the future."

Jiang Xue looked at Cheng Li, not saying a word.

Cheng Li waited for a while, but Jiang Xue did not offer words of forgiveness, causing Cheng Li to feel secretly resentful, though she didn’t show it on her face. She took Jiang Xue’s hand, lowered her body, and said, "Jiang Xue, I’m begging on my knees for your forgiveness just this once, alright?"

Seeing as she was about to kneel, Mrs. Cheng couldn’t stand it anymore, rushed forward, grabbed her, and turned to Jiang Xue, saying, "Jiang Xue, don’t go too far. Xiao Li has already apologized to you. Do you really need her to kneel before you’ll forgive her?"

Seeing Cheng Li about to kneel, not only Mrs. Cheng, but even the village chief couldn’t stand it, advising, "Jiang Xue, be the bigger person and forgive her this once. If she does it again, come directly to me, and I’ll make sure you get justice, okay?"

Jiang Xue might not give face to Cheng Li and Mrs. Cheng, but she had to give some respect to the village chief. She cast a cold glance at Cheng Li and Mrs. Cheng and said, "For the village chief’s sake, I’ll forgive you this one time. But mark my words, there won’t be a next time."

The village chief was pleased that Jiang Xue didn’t reject his request, turned, scolded Cheng Li a few times, and seeing her good attitude in admitting her mistake, finally left satisfied.
