Chapter 21 An Apology is Impossible

In an instant, he grabbed Bo Wei's hair, startled by how beautiful the woman's hair was—smooth and cool—and almost lost his grip.

"You little bitch, how dare you insult me! You think I'm someone to be trifled with!"

"Ugh!" A sharp pain shot through her scalp. Bo Wei hadn't expected that she would dare to make a move.

She had never argued or fought before, which really scared her.

So much so that he overreacted and flung his hand away, the bag in his hand hitting the other person somewhere, and the grip on her hair suddenly loosened.

"Ah!" The woman felt a pain in her eyes and loosened her hair to cover them.

The man rushed forward anxiously, "Are you alright? Did you hurt your eye?"

Bo Wei rubbed her aching scalp, watching coldly without saying a word, wary of this crazy woman rushing at her again.

The rush hour had passed, but it wasn't empty.

Two security guards at the entrance saw the commotion and rushed over. People who were off work late or working overtime came out of the elevator and gradually gathered around to watch.

Two women and one man, the beautiful woman having her hair pulled, what a scene...

"What's going on here? Don't cause trouble." The security guard walked over and gave a stern warning.

The woman finally let go of her hands covering her eyes, revealing that her eyes and surrounding area were red and swollen, and her hair was disheveled.

She opened her bloodshot eyes, looked in Bo Wei's direction, and glared at her fiercely, her eyes burning with hatred.

You dare hit her!

I've never been humiliated like this before! My family has never even laid a finger on me!

How dare this man hit her!

She moved her feet and was about to rush forward to grab Bo Wei again, but Bo Wei was already on guard. If she dared to rush over and hit her again, she would fight back.

Anyway, although she had never been in a fight, she had done all sorts of things during the winter and summer vacations before high school, such as carrying firewood, carrying corn, and planting rice seedlings. She should have some strength.

If all else fails, she'll bite her; she can't just take the beating for nothing.

But just as his girlfriend was about to go berserk and rush out, the man grabbed her waist and said, "Stop it, there are lots of people watching."

The woman was panting heavily, staring wide-eyed at her surroundings. She saw more and more people gathering around them to watch the spectacle.

A cunning and malicious glint flashed in her eyes as she pointed at Bo Wei and accused her aggrievedly, "Some people, just because they're good-looking, are overly sensitive and actually insulted my boyfriend for taking pictures of her! No matter what we say, they just won't let it go. Everyone, be the judge, how can there be such people?"

These words immediately sparked whispers and murmurs among those around them.

He glanced at the two of them from time to time, then at Bo Wei, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Bo Wei's expression immediately changed. This person actually turned the tables on her; what a cunning scheme!

But she noticed that the gazes of many people around her were becoming increasingly indescribable.

She coldly reminded them, "Spreading rumors carries legal consequences."

The woman seemed not to hear what she said, turned around and righteously stretched out her hand to the man, "Take out your phone and let everyone see if you took any pictures. Do you really think you're something special that everyone loves?"

The whispers around them grew louder and louder, as if they were blaming Bo Wei on behalf of the woman, deliberately making sure she could hear them.

"It is indeed beautiful, but being overly sensitive is really presumptuous. Has it been watching too many jokes online? People who work at the Li Group wouldn't need to take photos of others without permission."

"That's right. No matter how good-looking a person is, if they have such a rude and unruly personality, they'll instantly lose their charm, and their face won't be pretty anymore."

"What a pity, she's so beautiful, she doesn't seem like that kind of person at all."

"No one is perfect. Many beautiful women appear gentle and kind on the surface, but it's all an act..."

The man hesitated before taking out his phone, but the woman snatched it away. He glanced at Bo Wei, feeling somewhat guilty and reluctant.

"Based solely on your statement, what evidence do you have to prove that I said that?"

Her voice was quickly drowned out by the discussion; no one listened because her words contained no information.

Bo Wei felt powerless, without any support, without anyone to back her up, and always needing to fight alone. What kind of helplessness and loneliness was that?

A wave of bitterness and grievance welled up in her heart. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she still managed to get herself into this mess.

She doesn't think she did anything wrong in what happened today.

Her figure and appearance should not be the original sin that attracts lewd looks from others. What makes a person human is that they learn to be civilized and respectful in the process of socialization, and this person obviously has not learned that.

There was nothing wrong with her clothes; the biggest problem was that she didn't have the money to buy several outfits to change into.

Moreover, she couldn't possibly stand in the elevator and silently endure the insults without fighting back.

No matter what you think, others don't care.

“Look everyone, there’s nothing on the phone. Forget about deleting it, we were in the elevator the whole time, she was there, even if she did take a picture, there was no chance to delete it.”

The woman showed her phone to the onlookers, her aggrieved expression making anyone who saw it believe her.

Not to mention compared to the seemingly cold, aloof, and arrogant beauty next to her.

The security guard checked her phone and confirmed that she didn't have it.

He looked at Bo Wei. She was the first person he interviewed. She looked like a fairy descending to earth when she walked by. He remembered her at a glance. She had only been working for less than two weeks.

Every time I come for an interview, I have to register before I can enter. She seems like a very polite person, unlike the self-righteous person this woman describes.

Young people today face a lot of pressure, so it's normal for misunderstandings and conflicts to arise from small issues.

And look at the woman next to him. Although she looks very aggrieved, she speaks with a strong voice and has an arrogant demeanor. She doesn't seem like someone who is easy to bully.

"We can't judge who's right and who's wrong. Since no actual damage has been caused, it means it's just a minor conflict. Everyone should take a step back and leave quickly, so as not to escalate the situation here."

The woman's face changed, her eyes widened, and she immediately shouted, "Impossible! How could a small argument be enough to explain this away? We were humiliated by her, and we need to prove our innocence. I can't imagine what it would be like if we couldn't produce evidence; we'd be living in the shadow of this day forever. Accusing my boyfriend of taking photos without my consent is an insult to his character and has caused him immense emotional trauma! You think you can just walk away like this? No way!"

The security guard frowned. This man's attitude was resolute, and it seemed that this wouldn't be so easy to resolve. He glanced at Bo Wei, then turned to the woman, "So what do you want?"

The woman finally looked at Bo Wei again, her eyes filled with the arrogance of a victor. "Apologize to us. With so many people here, this incident is bound to spread. To avoid any misunderstandings with my boyfriend, I'm going to record this and send it to various groups so that everyone can see the facts clearly and stop making wild guesses. Only in this way can we heal the wounds inflicted on me and my boyfriend."

She spoke with a strong voice, and everyone quieted down to listen to her, without feeling that her request was excessive.
