Chapter 83 Apologize to An Shixia

Jiang Zhiyao had never seen He Huaisheng's eyes so calm.

He Huaisheng should have looked at her gently, asked her if she was in pain, if she felt wronged, and if she wanted An Shixia to pay the price.

Jiang Zhiyao's injuries were not serious; she only suffered a broken leg and a mild concussion. The emotional distress combined with the physical pain made her burst into tears.

"Brother Sheng".

He Huaisheng felt a moment of weakness, but thinking about his own experiences and the events that had happened recently, he decided to be serious.

"Don't cry, tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"

Don't you believe me?

Seeing that crying was useless, Jiang Zhiyao switched to a pitiful tone.

He Huaisheng was a little irritated and wanted to say something more, but his phone suddenly rang. It was his mother, Pan Lanying.

He hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.

Pan Lanying's voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone full of worry: "Shengzi, I received a call from your school saying that Yaoyao fell from a building? Is she alright?"

Jiang Zhiyao's father never cared about her, so she always wrote "Mother He" in the parent contact information section.

Hearing his mother's worried voice, He Huaisheng's expression softened: "Mom, she's fine."

"It's good that you're alright. Shengzi, you must take good care of Yaoyao. She's timid and doesn't know how to fight back, so she's easily wronged."

Pan Lanying's incessant chatter made He Huaisheng even more irritated, but he couldn't deny that she was right.

“Yaoyao lost her mother when she was little. In my heart, she is already my daughter. You are her brother. Is Yaoyao here? I want to talk to her for a bit.”

He Huaisheng handed his phone to Jiang Zhiyao: "It's my mom on the phone."

Jiang Zhiyao sniffed and reached out to take it: "Aunt Pan..."

Her voice trembled with a sob, and Pan Lanying immediately panicked: "Oh dear, Yao Yao, why are you crying? Did Sheng Zi bully you? Don't cry, give him the phone, I'll scold him for you!"

Jiang Zhiyao immediately spoke up for He Huaisheng: "No, it wasn't him, it was me, I just missed you a little."

Pan Lanying sighed, "Yaoyao, be good. Come to Auntie's house when you have a holiday, and Auntie will cook you something delicious."

Jiang Zhiyao talked to her for a very long time before hanging up the phone.

He Huaisheng went outside for a smoke, and his clothes still smelled of smoke. When he entered the ward, Jiang Zhiyao coughed a few times.

He Huaisheng sat down: "Yaoyao, tell me the truth."

He didn't believe Jiang Zhiyao would do such a thing, but he saw her take the photos with his own eyes.

Jiang Zhiyao immediately lowered her head.

He Huaisheng understood her perfectly well; this was her usual reaction when she did something wrong.

He couldn't resist taking out another cigarette and taking a deep drag: "You really did make a mistake in this matter, and you shouldn't have threatened her with jumping off a building."

Jiang Zhiyao's tears fell instantly: "Brother Sheng, I'm sorry."

He Huaisheng dodged her outstretched hand: "Apologize to her first."

Jiang Zhiyao looked incredulous: "Apologize? I clearly didn't do anything... No, I won't apologize!"

She covered her ears as she spoke, unwilling to talk to He Huaisheng.

"An Shixia is the daughter of the An family! If you don't apologize, we're both finished!"

He Huaisheng couldn't help but let out a low growl.

This was the first time he couldn't control his temper, and the first time he was so harsh on Jiang Zhiyao.

Jiang Zhiyao was stunned for a moment. She already had a mild concussion, and this news made her dizzy and disoriented: "What...did you say?"

“I said An Shixia is the daughter of the An family, and the An family’s official website has already posted about it.”

Jiang Zhiyao was completely stunned. Just a few days ago, he was mocking An Shixia, saying that she also had the surname An, but she was not born into the right family.

As a result, she was slapped in the face like that.

“We must get her forgiveness, you understand? If she doesn’t forgive you, she can’t treat me the same way as before.”

He Huaisheng thought about his previous behavior and wished he could slap himself.

If he had accepted An Shixia, he might already own his own company.

He had been puzzled when the An family had previously turned him away, but now he realized it was because of this.

The An family and the Yan family have always had a good relationship, and it is said that their children are childhood sweethearts.

Are An Shixia and Yan Lingyu just friends? Is An Shixia only using Yan Lingyu to spite herself?

Thinking of this possibility, He Huaisheng felt a surge of excitement, but Jiang Zhiyao had done such a wrong thing, and he had to give An Shixia an explanation.

“Not only do we have to apologize, we also have to compensate you. As your brother, it is my fault for not taking good care of you, and I will pay the compensation.”

"You'll be starting your internship at the company in a few days, right?"

An Shaoyuan suddenly asked.

"It'll be over once the results come out."

An Shixia felt a little reluctant to leave the campus, knowing she would really have to work like a beast of burden from now on.

However... the only difference is that she can pester her boss to give her a day off without worrying about being fired.

"A director has been transferred these past few days. Would you be willing to take over?"

An Shaoyuan didn't let An Shixia start from the bottom, because he knew Xiaxia had the ability to do so.

"Okay, but I have a friend..."

Before An Shixia could finish speaking, An Shaoyuan nodded: "I understand. Can you put her in your group?"

"Hehe, that's awesome!"

An Shixia hadn't gone to school for several days in a row, and He Huaisheng waited for a long time but didn't see her, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Just when he thought he was going to return empty-handed again, he spotted An Shixia walking out of the office.

He immediately followed, his voice much softer than before, even deliberately emphasizing it: "Shi Xia."

An Shixia was shocked by the sound; it was utterly disgusting.

Why is He Huaisheng so persistent? Even though she's stopped chasing after him, he still comes back to her.

He's completely sick, and seriously so.

She glanced around, finding nothing she could use to attack, and took a deep breath: "What are you doing?"

His tone was somewhat impatient, even disgusted.

He Huaisheng felt a little sad. She had never treated him like this before. It seemed that he had really hurt her.

"Shi Xia, I only found out a few days ago that you were wronged. Yao Yao was in the wrong, and I apologize to you on her behalf. Also, please accept this card; it's my compensation to you on Yao Yao's behalf."

An Shixia didn't move. She didn't want to forgive him, and she also thought the card in He Huaisheng's hand was dirty.

"I've already promised her I wouldn't pursue the lawyer's letter issue anymore. As for the apology, I won't accept it, and I won't take the card either."

He Huaisheng was actually quite touched when she said she didn't want to get a card.

She really does care about him. Knowing he has no money, she deliberately didn't want the card, so he's even less likely to disappoint An Shixia.

"Shi Xia, tell me what kind of compensation you want, and I will give it to you."

He stared intently at An Shixia, as if expecting her to say, "I like you, can you be with me?"
