"Is my uncle so forgetful at such a young age? I explained it to him that day, but he didn't believe me. He even called me vicious and unrepentant, saying that my explanation was full of flaws and that I had a long criminal record. No matter how I explained, he wouldn't believe that I was innocent."
"Have you forgotten all of this, Uncle?"
Shi Nian spoke calmly, reminding him one sentence at a time.
Hearing her calm tone, Ye Chen suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He seemed to see again the scene of that day when she tried to explain to him, but he didn't believe her and even forced her to apologize...
She must have been very angry and heartbroken at the time.
Shi Nian continued, "Does Uncle think that only a tearful explanation like Bai Lian'er's, or crying and saying 'If you don't believe me, I'll die,' counts as an explanation?"
"However, even if I really cried and explained, you still wouldn't believe me. After all, in your heart, how could the pure and kind Bai Lian'er lie and frame the vicious me?"
Ye Chen felt extremely guilty. "I'm sorry."
Now, hearing her talk about it, he realized how awful he had been back then!
Shi Nian gave him a mocking glance before looking away.
She doesn't need cheap apologies like "I'm sorry".
She moved back to the edge of the bed and saw a pair of his slippers beside it. Suppressing her disgust, she put them on and prepared to leave again.
She was afraid he would carry her back if she didn't wear shoes.
Even after she put on her shoes, Ye Chen still stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Shi Nian looked at him unhappily.
"where are you going?"
Shi Nian said coolly, "I'm going back to find Grandpa, so get out of my way!"
I haven't seen Grandpa for so many days, he must be worried.
Moreover, she missed her grandfather very much and longed to see him.
Ye Chen asked dejectedly, "What is it about me that I don't compare to the old man? You like him so much, yet you're always so impatient with me?"
Shi Nian said jokingly, "Where does Uncle get the courage to compare with Grandpa? Grandpa never misunderstands me. No matter what happens, I don't need to explain. He always believes it's not my fault. Even if someone tries to smear me, he will think that the other person is at fault first, which is why I take action."
“I never suffered the slightest grievance while I was with my grandfather, but with you, I was not only misunderstood by you, but you also locked me in the dungeon.”
"Excuse me, in what way do you think you are better than Grandpa?"
Shi Nian was very angry.
She felt that Ye Chen's desire to compete with his grandfather was an insult to him!
Grandpa is so good, how can this blind and heartless bastard compare to him?
Ye Chen was rendered speechless by her words.
Thinking back to how the old man treated Shi Nian, he realized he really couldn't compare to the old man...
Ye Chen held her hand and said earnestly, "I will treat you like the old man did from now on. Please give me a chance."
Shi Nian shook her hand in annoyance, trying to shake it off.
But he held on tightly, and even though she tried to shake him off, almost dislocating her wrist, she couldn't get rid of him.
"Let go. I'm not interested in you. I'm only interested in Grandpa!" Shi Nian said with a stern face.
Ye Chen's lips twitched violently.
Luckily, the old man is old enough, otherwise he might have really gotten jealous.
“Niannian, I know you have a lot of resentment towards me right now. It’s all my own doing. I don’t ask you to forgive me immediately. I just hope you can give me a chance.”
Before Shi Nian could refuse, he quickly added, "We've already had that kind of relationship, you can't avoid this issue no matter what!"
