Chu Fang lay in bed and sent a message to Zhong Tingyue.

[Solo queue player in a dating game: Isn't this going too far?]

[Wang Shu: Do you think it's a small matter that she cheated people out of nearly 10,000 yuan?]

[Solo player in a dating game: But this world is a dog-eat-dog world. Successful people often do outrageous things; otherwise, how would they achieve their success?]

[Wang Shu: Have you ever done this?]

[Solo player specializing in dating: None.]

My success is a blessing from God.

[Wang Shu: I don't deny what you said, but she shouldn't have treated someone weaker than her that way.]

[Wang Shu: Don't worry about it. Leave this to my mother. If she truly shows no remorse, I'll process her withdrawal from school.]

If she really can't change her younger sister, Zhong Tingyue hopes that Zhong Rou will learn as little as possible so that she won't have the power to harm others.

Chu Fang looked out the window at the falling snowflakes, sighed, and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up because I needed to urinate, and immediately got up and went outside.

As he stepped out of the room, he was stunned. He saw his sister-in-law still kneeling in the living room, her head bowed. She seemed to hear footsteps, raised her head, and her pretty face was covered in tears, her eyes red.

Chu Fang approached and squatted down, draping a thick coat over himself: "Don't worry, it's alright. Your mother was just angry for a moment. She'll be fine after she apologizes."

"Brother-in-law..."

Chu Fang is heartbroken.

My sister-in-law is usually such a cheerful and optimistic person. Every time I see her, she has a bright smile on her face. But this is the first time I've seen her cry. Her eyes are blurry with tears.

"I was wrong." Zhong Rou's voice was hoarse, like the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard.

"Where did we go wrong?" Gao Ruoyun appeared out at some point, her face still serious.

"They're all wrong."

Gao Ruoyun asked, "Since you made a mistake, how do you think you should make amends?"

Zhong Rou seemed to have caught a cold, coughing a few times: "I'll return the money my brother-in-law helped me lose; I want to apologize to those I cheated, and say I'm sorry..."

The sister-in-law described in detail the actions and methods she wanted to make amends.

It's clear that she has truly repented; otherwise, she would never have returned the money she swindled to Chu Fang so easily.

Gao Ruoyun went into the house and soon brought out a steaming bowl of noodles, placing it on the table: "Eat."

Zhong Rou's vision was blurred with tears: "Mother~~~"

... ...

Zhong Rou cried almost all night, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still carefully counted out the money she had swindled and then handed it over to Chu Fang.

"Brother-in-law, this is for you. Thank you for helping me pay back those money."

"It's alright." Chu Fang nodded and accepted the money.

Then, the Zhong family and Chu Fang took Zhong Rou to visit the victims she had deceived, and the sister-in-law apologized to them one by one.

"Hey, it's okay, it's just kids playing around, no need to make it so serious."

"Zhong Rou is a good child."

"I shouldn't have paid back the money. I wanted my child to learn a lesson so he wouldn't be easily cheated when he grows up."

“... ..."

It must be said that Zhong Rou has a pretty good image in the village. When she went to apologize, the parents didn't say anything to punish her; they just thought it was just children playing around.

The victims looked at Zhong Rou with fear.

This person is absolutely terrifying. He swindled so much money with such ease.

Zhong Rou visited each of the families to apologize, with her final stop being Yang Meina's home.

Chu Fang never expected that even someone as shrewd as Yang Meina could be deceived.

"Sister Nana, I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright." Seeing Zhong Rou's red and swollen pupils, Yang Meina felt sorry for her and gently comforted her, "You didn't lie to me, I just wanted to give you money, you don't need to apologize."

Chu Fang crossed his arms and asked meaningfully, "Really?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Meina seemed to explode, her neck stiffening: "Chu Fang, what do you mean by that? Are you forgiving me for being foolish enough to be deceived by Rou Rou? Let me tell you, I wasn't deceived. I gave Rou Rou the money willingly. I consider Rou Rou my own sister. What's wrong with giving her money? Is it illegal?... ..."

Chu Fang scratched his face as he watched Yang Meina rambling on.

I was just asking casually, why are you saying so much?

After apologizing to each of them, the five of them went home. When they got home, Zhong Rou still looked depressed and frustrated, no longer as cheerful as before.

“Little girl.” Zhong Ping nudged her. “Hey, it’s okay, it’s all over now.”

"Why don't you drink some of this? You'll feel better after you finish it."

As he spoke, Zhong Ping handed her a cup of something, and Zhong Rou took it and asked, "What is this?"

"drinks."

Not long after, that cheerful voice rang out again in the living room:

"I was wrong about that, but I think I also have my strengths, and the flaws don't overshadow the merits."

"This mistake is paving the way for the next success; failure is the mother of success."

"I, Zhong Rou, will definitely become an outstanding female knight-errant and businesswoman in the future!"

“... ..."

Gao Ruoyun smelled alcohol on her little girl and glanced at her husband, while Zhong Ping chuckled awkwardly, "I noticed the little girl isn't in a good mood, so I'll get her something nice."

You're a terrible father!
