"Yes, we were wrong."
"Then I want you to publicly apologize to Jian Xi in the newspaper!" Jian Tong's startling words shocked both Jian Xi and Nan Mufeng.
Dong Shaolan was taken aback: "Tong Tong, family scandals shouldn't be broadcasted..."
"If you can't do it, it means you haven't truly repented. I won't go back!" Jian Tong insisted.
Dong Shaolan helplessly agreed: "Alright, alright, we'll do as you say."
Jian Xi smiled and leaned towards Nan Mufeng: "Admitting mistakes and correcting them, there's nothing greater than that."
Nan Mufeng remained noncommittal.
Whether they have truly changed remains to be seen.
...
On the way back to the city, Dong Shaolan continuously tried to please Jian Tong with conversation, but Jian Tong responded indifferently, still clearly upset.
Jian Xi watched the scenery outside the window, her gaze gradually growing distant.
She didn't even hear Nan Mufeng speaking to her.
Did this place hold a special meaning for her?
Was it her hometown?
