Chapter 2385 The First Person in the Shu Family to Apologize

The Shu family left, but when they reached the door, Shu Zhao, who hadn't spoken a word, suddenly stopped.

Shu Quan and Gu Xinghua looked at her in surprise, and then Shu Zhao turned around, faced Shu Yu, and said solemnly and calmly, "I'm sorry."

Shu Yu looked up at her, somewhat surprised.

Shu Quan's eyes lit up. He thought his sister was unusually clever for once, playing the emotional card at this crucial moment. He agreed with her and looked at her encouragingly, hoping she would say more.

Gu Xinghua hesitated, wanting to speak but was stopped by Shu Quan.

Shu Zhao said, "I apologize for what I did to you in the past. Some things can only be understood by experiencing them firsthand. I'm sorry."

Shu Yu looked at her silently. She hadn't expected that Shu Zhao would be the first person from the Shu family to apologize to her after all this time.

After a long pause, she laughed and said, "If you apologize to me now, it's hard for me not to overthink it and feel that you're giving Gu Xinghua more leverage."

"No, I didn't intend to, I just..." Shu Zhao didn't know how to say it.

She used to have a really bad temper. She looked down on Shu Yu, a concubine's daughter, and even bullied her because she was pretty. She gloated over Shu Yu's miserable life, which was unloved by her parents, as if she were watching a spectacle.

She never thought she had done anything wrong; life is inherently unequal. She could only blame her bad luck for being born from a concubine's womb.

Even when she was exiled to the southwest, she never changed this idea.

Exile certainly made her life difficult. But her parents were alive and well, and her brother loved her dearly. Aside from the physical suffering that left her exhausted and resentful, she was spiritually rich. Compared to the rest of the Shu family, she actually felt more superior.

Until her father and brother turned against each other, she was often dragged into it and was heartbroken time and time again.

It wasn't until her father casually married her off to a completely unfamiliar, 'lame and ugly old man' that she finally understood that she was also a daughter who could be abandoned by her own father at any time, no different from her sixth sister. The pampering she had imagined was all fake; she wasn't that important.

When she got married and had children, looking at her soft, cuddly daughter, she thought, if one day her daughter were sold like Shu Yu, and that family tormented and bullied her every day, she would probably go crazy.

Now, Shu Zhao understands the value of contentment, so she is very peaceful when facing Shu Yu. Saying an apology is not difficult for her either.

"I understand." Shu Yu nodded, without saying whether she forgave him or not.

Shu Zhao smiled and left with her husband and daughter.

Shu Quan, on the other hand, stood there stunned for a moment, and sighed inwardly: Why didn't Fourth Sister say more?

This time, the Shu family really left, and Shu Yu continued with her own affairs.

She hadn't confirmed a candidate yet and continued recruiting helpers. People were still coming and going at the estate, and many came to join in the fun.

Shu Yu only agreed to give Gu Xinghua an interview opportunity, but did not say that he would give him the opportunity to be a shop assistant.

If she meets someone more suitable, she will still choose someone else.

This matter greatly displeased the second wife of the Shu family, but she dared not go to Shu Yu to say it. She only muttered in front of her children, "I told you it was useless. You returned the money to her, Quan, and you apologized to Zhao. Now it's all for nothing."
