Chapter 638 Gong Lian Apologizes to Sang Ruo
After saying this, Gong Lian turned and left. The engagement ceremony was almost over, and the guests began to leave. Therefore, many people did not realize what had just happened between Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi.
Sang Ruo had been sitting in the banquet hall waiting for Bo Jinyan to return. As soon as she saw him come back, she stood up and said, "Ayan, you're finally back. Why did you take so long to go to the restroom?"
He only came back when almost everyone had left.
"It's nothing, everyone's gone, let's hurry up and go too." Bo Jinyan said, helping Sang Ruo up and then walking out of the banquet hall, just in time to see Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian walking separately.
Gong Lian was the first to leave, driving his Lamborghini away from the Bulgari Hotel, while Wen Qingyi took a taxi and left alone.
Seeing them separate, Sang Ruo asked with some confusion, "Ayan, what's wrong with those two?"
Didn't you just get engaged? Why are you ignoring each other now that you're engaged?
It's like we're in a cold war.
“It’s alright, she brought it on herself.” Having just experienced what happened, Bo Jinyan showed no sympathy for her. Instead, he coldly mocked, “She brought it on herself and can’t blame anyone else.”
Sang Ruo was even more confused by his words, but seeing that he clearly didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more questions, got into the car, and left the Bulgari Hotel.
Ever since Wen Qingyi confessed her feelings to Bo Jinyan at their engagement ceremony, Gong Lian has ignored her completely. They no longer share a bed, let alone a room.
Once they got engaged, the two started sleeping in separate rooms.
Wen Qingyi initially didn't understand and even caused quite a few troubles because of it, but in the end, she only received Gong Lian's disdain and indifference.
Meanwhile, with Bo Jinyan's constant companionship, Sang Ruo's leg injury gradually began to heal, and the doctor also suggested that she could go home to recuperate.
The day before Sang Ruo was discharged from the hospital, Gong Lian came to her ward with a bouquet of yellow roses.
Sang Ruo looked up and saw him immediately, instinctively feeling afraid: "Mr. Gong? What brings you here?"
She hadn't forgotten the hurt Gong Lian had caused her.
The wounds on her face were all inflicted by Gong Lian. Now, he has suddenly appeared in front of her again. What does he want?
“Miss Sang, I’ve come here today specifically to apologize to you.” Gong Lian handed her the yellow roses in his hand: “I’m sorry for the hurt I caused you because of Wen Qingyi. I hope I can win Miss Sang’s forgiveness.”
How can I win her forgiveness?
Did she hear that right?
For a moment, Sang Ruo almost thought she had misheard, her face filled with disbelief: "Mr. Gong, did I hear that right? You actually came to apologize to me? And you even brought a bouquet of yellow roses. Are you sure you're sincerely apologizing to me?"
Why doesn't she believe it?
It looks like a weasel paying respects to a chicken—it's up to no good.
Perhaps it's because he did too many wrong things to her in the past that his credibility has plummeted?
“Yes, Miss Sang, I really am here today to apologize to you.” As he spoke, Gong Lian straightened up and bowed slightly to Sang Ruo’s hospital bed at a ninety-degree angle: “I’m sorry.”
As his voice fell, he bowed deeply to her as a sincere apology.
He seemed to be very sincere.
However, Sang Ruo still said, "Mr. Gong, there is no need for you to bow so deeply to me. I, Sang Ruo, cannot accept it. After all, your fiancée is Wen Qingyi. Everything you have done to protect your fiancée is only right and proper."
Her words seemed to be spoken from Gong Lian's perspective, but upon closer listening, one would find that her words were full of sarcasm and irony.
“Miss Sang, please don’t say that. It’s all my fault.” Gong Lian remained bowing and did not straighten up. “It was my fault for misjudging people, which led Wen Qingyi to do so many wrong things to you. Please forgive me, Miss Sang.”
"If possible, I still hope to be able to be friends with Miss Sang again."
Let's be friends again?
Sang Ruo laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke: "Mr. Gong, did I hear that right? You actually want to be friends with me? You are the founder of Yihe Media, the only person in the entire Beijing circle who can rival Bo Jinyan!"
"You have so many friends, how could someone as insignificant as me possibly offend you? Please don't joke with me, this kind of joke is not funny at all."
Her initial impression of Gong Lian was that he was Bo Jinyan's mortal enemy and the only person in the entire Beijing circle who could rival Bo Jinyan.
He was of noble birth, started from scratch, and was respected wherever he went.
But because the person he likes is Wen Qingyi, the two of them have become mortal enemies from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, her former mortal enemy has suddenly come to apologize to her? And wants to be friends with her?
Anyone would find this hard to understand, right?
“I’m not joking, I’m serious.”
Gong Lian straightened up and stared at her intently: "Miss Sang, I know I have caused you a lot of harm in the past. I don't deny those past events, but at least, please give me a chance to make amends."
Don't erase his sincere feelings for her like that.
Ever since he realized what kind of person Wen Qingyi was at their engagement ceremony, he made up his mind never to believe a word she said again.
Wen Qingyi is heartless. She takes his efforts for granted. She has no understanding or kindness whatsoever like Sang Ruo.
"Are you really apologizing to me?" Sang Ruo was still somewhat unwilling to believe it: "Mr. Gong, since you know you were wrong, why don't you do something concrete? If you don't do something concrete, I find it hard to believe that you are truly repentant."
At the very least, she wanted to see some sincerity in his repentance.
Otherwise, if there's nothing there, why should she believe he's genuinely there to apologize?
What if it's a weasel visiting a chicken to wish it a Happy New Year?
Gong Lian knew what she meant. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Miss Sang, to show my sincerity, I will personally hand over the information about the culprit who caused the explosion at your clinic and the car accident to you. Now you should believe me, right?"
He had barely finished speaking when Bo Jinyan, who had come to visit her, entered the ward. Upon seeing him, he gave him a cold look and spoke in an unfriendly tone: "Gong Lian? What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
How dare you come here to see Xiao Ruo while protecting Wen Qingyi?
“Young Master Bo, I’m not here to cause trouble today. I just want to ask you something.” Gong Lian paused, then turned to look at him: “What you asked for before, I can do. Do you still want it?”
