Chapter 111 Apology
Huo Xinran didn't know how she got back. She was in a daze, and her head was buzzing.
After returning home, Huo's mother kept asking her what had happened.
Huo Xinran remained silent.
She didn't know what to say; she just hoped this matter would pass quickly.
But the past is definitely impossible to revisit.
After all, she had conducted an investigation and even admitted that she had framed Sun Baojun. Why would she admit it? It was because she was under too much pressure and couldn't withstand it.
Later that evening, Huo Chenzhou returned and told everyone about it: "Huo Xinran herself has admitted that she framed Sun Baojun, and now everyone knows about it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chunyan frowned and said, "Huo Xinran, are you out of your mind? I kindly invited you to dinner, and every time we paid for it. You just hang around us, eating and drinking for free, and yet you're framing him?"
She completely failed to understand Huo Xinran; she was truly heartless and ungrateful.
She couldn't understand Huo Xinran's purpose in doing this.
The thoughts of bad people are probably beyond the comprehension of normal people.
Huo Xinran was both angry and scared: "How can you blame me? Putting everything else aside, isn't he right? He was the one who was nice to me first, he gave me so many things first, which is why I had feelings for him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have done this."
Huo Chunyan said speechlessly, "Those things she gave you were also for me, but they were just scraps. You actually took it seriously."
Huo Xinran snorted: "But he was the one who invited me out today. It's normal for me to misunderstand since we were alone together. In the end, it's because he was trying to be nice to me that these things happened."
After hearing what had happened, Huo's mother stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "Xin, Xinran, how could you do such a thing? That's your future brother-in-law! You knew that all along!"
Huo Xinran said angrily, "Mom, isn't this all because you're biased? If you could introduce me to someone, none of this would have happened."
In short, even if she admits it, she will still shift all the blame onto others, and she will always be innocent.
Huo's mother looked at Huo Xinran in disbelief.
She always thought she was very good to Huo Xinran. Admittedly, although Huo Xinran was not her biological daughter and was not the most successful, Huo Xinran had always been by her side, and Huo's mother had always given her the best. Because of this, she even neglected Huo Chenzhou and Huo Chunyan.
In the end, Huo Xinran blamed herself for being biased.
Huo Chenzhou didn't comment on Huo Xinran. He said calmly, "You need to apologize to Sun Baojun in person, and what you did will also be criticized through the radio."
"After this is over, you should leave this place."
Although Huo Xinran's actions may not have much impact on him, not many people know Huo Xinran, but everyone knows Huo Chenzhou. Everyone knows that Huo Xinran is Huo Chenzhou's sister, and Huo Chenzhou will not allow such a time bomb to be placed next to him.
Once is enough for this kind of thing.
Huo Xinran's face turned deathly pale: "Big brother."
Huo's mother was also dissatisfied with Huo Xinran's behavior, but she still felt sorry for her: "Chenzhou, isn't this punishment too harsh? No matter what, Xinran is still a girl. She was just confused for a moment and that's why she slandered Sun Baojun. Can't we just let it go? Sun Baojun is the son-in-law I've chosen. I think he has a very good temper. Call him over and I'll talk to him and ask him to let Xinran go."
Huo Chenzhou said, "This is the punishment method decided by the organization. They only gave me a lighter punishment because of my face. Otherwise, given Huo Xinran's behavior, it wouldn't be so easy to clean up the mess. That person is Sun Baojun, a soldier. If Huo Xinran had really successfully framed him, he would have gone to jail. Now, all they've done is make Huo Xinran apologize. What kind of punishment is that?"
It can only be said that the level of spreading rumors was too low. If it hadn't been investigated this time, Sun Baojun wouldn't have been able to stay in the military.
Huo Xinran, on the other hand, only received this minor punishment.
In Huo Chenzhou's view, this punishment was too lenient.
Mrs. Huo said, "Xinran certainly didn't do it on purpose. She's so young and hasn't seen much of the world. She doesn't understand anything. She made a mistake this time because she acted impulsively. To be honest, it's all my fault for not teaching her well. How about this, why don't you invite Sun Baojun over to our house? We can have a meal together privately and then let's not dwell on this matter or report it to the authorities. Otherwise, Xinran's reputation will be completely ruined."
“Impossible. This matter has already been decided and cannot be easily changed. Moreover, as a soldier, everyone saw that Sun Baojun was framed. If this matter is not clarified, it will seriously damage his reputation. I will not allow such a thing to happen.”
Huo Chenzhou said businesslike, "Mom, you're always worried about Huo Xinran's reputation, but have you ever thought about Sun Baojun's reputation? It's clearly Huo Xinran's mistake, so why should he have to pay for it? Huo Xinran must apologize this time. She made a mistake, so she has to pay the price."
Having said all that, Mrs. Huo had no other choice.
Huo Xinran has already made this matter too big, and it is indeed her fault. If she hadn't framed Sun Baojun, Sun Baojun wouldn't have gotten into this mess. Now everyone is misunderstanding Sun Baojun, and only by making Huo Xinran apologize to Sun Baojun can this matter be resolved.
Although Huo Chenzhou is Huo Xinran's older brother, he can't easily protect Huo Xinran, otherwise how would people view Huo Chenzhou?
And so the matter was quickly settled.
The organization took this matter very seriously and held a clarification meeting to address it.
On Monday morning, Huo Xinran personally bowed her head to apologize to Sun Baojun and explained the cause and effect of the matter. At that moment, she felt humiliated.
The Huo family is really ruthless.
Just because she wasn't their biological daughter, they treated her so badly.
Huo Chenzhou didn't help her at all. Huo Chunyan was eager for her to apologize. Huo's mother said a few nice things, but in reality, she just watched her suffer.
She really hates these people.
Many people came to watch the spectacle, and upon seeing this scene, they were all filled with sighs.
"I thought it was Sun Baojun's fault. I never expected that it was Huo Xinran who framed him."
"Why would Huo Xinran, a young girl, do something like this? Isn't this damaging her own reputation?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's just a bad person. I never expected that Commander Huo would have such a sister. She's far inferior to Huo Chunyan."
