At this point, Yuan Xi smiled.
She looked into the distance, as if she was remembering something happy.
"You must be very curious as to why I won't agree to be with Song Guiran, even though he likes me so much, right?"
Mu Xiaocheng didn't speak, but her eyebrows twitched, waiting for her to continue.
Yuan Xi stared at her toes, her smile tinged with bitterness and helplessness.
"Actually, I've always been a very insecure person since I was a child."
“My family wasn’t well-off, and I’m not very pretty. The only thing I could compare with others was my grades. So I studied as hard as I could to stand out among those rich kids.”
"But what good are grades anyway? I still have nothing. I want to buy pretty clothes, but I don't have the money. I want to make friends with those people, but they look down on me."
"I was really happy when I found out that Song Guiran liked me. At that time, I thought to myself, I am finally not the child abandoned by God."
"I don't know how to respond to him. He's the school's most handsome guy, with good grades, a good family background, and good looks. Everyone says that his interest in me is just temporary, and that he'll lose interest once he gets me."
"So I, I..."
"I know I don't have any redeeming qualities, and I'm not worthy of his affection. Perhaps, his interest in me is just temporary. I really don't dare, I don't dare..."
At this point, Yuan Xi seemed unable to continue.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been an extremely insecure person.
Although I study hard and get good grades, I can never be number one.
After meeting Song Guiran, she felt so inferior that she couldn't believe he truly liked her.
So she kept rejecting him, keeping him hanging on.
"So, you take advantage of his feelings for you and use him to hurt him time and time again. Yuanxi, you're really something. At such a young age, you have such cunning; your future is limitless."
Mu Xiaocheng's tone was sarcastic, leaving no room for compromise.
"In our circle, everyone has looks and money; what's lacking is a sincere heart, and that's what everyone wants. When we make friends, we never look at outward appearances. As long as you're sincere, no one will look down on you."
"And you, you throw other people's sincerity on the ground and trample on it at will. Do you think anyone would dare to get close to you, or treat you with sincerity?"
Mu Xiaocheng spoke each word slowly and deliberately, her tone cold and each word piercing.
Yuan Xi lowered her head, her eyes shimmering.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Mu, I apologize for everything I did before. It was also me who asked you to revise the script. I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong, I'm so sorry..."
"Can...can you forgive me?"
Upon hearing her last words, a glint of light flashed in Mu Xiaocheng's eyes.
Ah, so that's where she was waiting.
She looked at the little girl in front of her.
At around eighteen or nineteen years old, their minds are not yet truly mature. At this age, young girls are sensitive and extremely insecure.
Unfortunately, her mother fell seriously ill, making Yuan Xi the most easily manipulated person at this time.
That's really pitiful.
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone, "I forgive you."
"You're just a kid, I don't mind."
When Yuan Xi heard Mu Xiaocheng say that, she looked up at her in surprise.
Why did Mu Xiaocheng forgive her so easily?
