Chapter 460 So what if I apologize?
After Xu Li shouted at Nangong Tianyu and Nangong Tianchen, Nangong Tianling, who was standing next to her, also spoke up angrily:
"Yes, eldest brother, second brother! You must expose that vicious woman, Nangong Chu!"
"She's so wicked! You guys don't know, besides people cursing my sister online, there are also people cursing us!"
Nangong Tianling saw some people cursing him, and the insults were really nasty!
Because of this incident, his romantic interest changed her attitude towards him after seeing the online revelations!
Nangong Tianling was furious.
He thought he was speaking out for Nangong Xueyao, but actually he couldn't stand being verbally attacked.
Beside them, Nangong Xueyao, who was leaning against Xu Li's chest, also looked at them with a wronged expression and called out in a tearful voice, "Big brother, second brother."
Nangong Tianyu's face remained expressionless, and he pursed his lips without speaking.
Nangong Tianchen looked at Nangong Xueyao and spoke in a somewhat deep voice:
"Nangong Xueyao, were you really framed by Nangong Chu? Are all the things said online false?"
Nangong Tianchen's tone was clearly accusatory, which made Nangong Xueyao pause for a moment, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
But then, she started crying even more.
Nangong Xueyao looked at Nangong Tianchen, seemingly both shocked and hurt.
"Second brother, what do you mean by this? You...you believe what's being said online?"
Nangong Xueyao clutched her chest, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Fine, I was the one who took my older sister's place in the first place. I should have left long ago... I shouldn't have clung to your love, Mom and Dad, and refused to leave..."
"If I had left sooner, my sister wouldn't hate me so much. I'm leaving now... I'm leaving now!"
As she spoke, Nangong Xueyao was about to stand up when Xu Li quickly pulled her back.
"Yaoyao, you can't leave! You're Mommy's daughter, how could Mommy bear to leave you!"
Nangong Xueyao looked at Xu Li with tears in her eyes: "Mom..."
Xu Li: "Yao Yao!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried on the sofa.
Nangong Tianling shouted angrily, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you? Have you been deceived by Nangong Chu?"
Xu Li glared at Nangong Tianchen: "Achen! Apologize to Yaoyao immediately! What you said hurt Yaoyao deeply!"
Doesn't Nangong Tianchen want to believe Nangong Xueyao?
To not believe her is tantamount to admitting that he was wrong to have hurt Achu.
But the truth made it impossible for him to deceive himself.
What he couldn't accept even more was that he had been deceived and used by Nangong Xueyao!
Nangong Tianchen almost gritted his teeth as he spoke: "I called the 'Love is Destiny' program team and confirmed that those words were spoken by you personally. There was no AI production involved."
"With so many people watching, Nangong Xueyao, you still managed to lie!"
"Okay, you say Nangong Chu wronged you, you say you're innocent, but what about the rumor you deliberately spread about an actress being kept by a sugar daddy for a movie role? Was that also false?"
"Are all those things you did in the entertainment industry that required my help to clean up the mess, also things that Nangong Chu wronged you about?"
Nangong Tianchen's questions made Nangong Xueyao's face grow increasingly grim.
She forgot, forgot that Nangong Tianchen was the one who cleaned up the mess for her.
That's probably why Nangong Tianchen believed it even more when those things were exposed online.
Nangong Xueyao was somewhat annoyed, while her brain was racing, trying to figure out how to continue the story.
Then Nangong Tianyu said, "You may not admit to those things that have been exposed online, but as long as someone investigates, the truth will eventually be found."
"Do you dare let someone investigate?"
Nangong Xueyao's face was completely drained of color this time.
Nangong Tianyu looked at her and asked, "You could have gotten along peacefully with Achu, why did you do that to her?"
Nangong Xueyao didn't know how to answer, nor did she want to.
Everyone else saw her reaction.
Compared to her adopted daughter, Xu Li naturally trusted her biological son more.
Her face showed disbelief as she slowly released her grip on Nangong Xueyao.
Nangong Tianling also showed some hesitation.
Nangong Wang, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke, his face grim as he sternly questioned Nangong Xueyao:
"We love you like our own daughter and have raised you with all our might! Yet you have hurt our own daughter in every way, Nangong Xueyao! Do you have any conscience?!"
Nangong Xueyao trembled from the shout and tears fell from her eyes.
She knew that it was impossible for her to deny it now.
She had no choice but to admit it.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad... I'm sorry, Big Brother, Second Brother, Ah Ling... I was just so scared, sob sob... I'm so scared of losing your love!"
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"I also regret hurting my sister, sob sob..."
Nangong Xueyao cried and begged for their forgiveness, her words conveying that she had made a mistake because she was afraid of losing them.
But by the time she realized she had made a mistake, she was too afraid to admit it.
In any case, what Nangong Xueyao meant was that although she had made mistakes, it was all because of them that she did those things.
Xu Li was more soft-hearted and cried along with them.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel guilty towards Achu.
No wonder Mrs. Shen said she was brainless; she really was brainless!
No matter what, Achu is her own daughter, the one she carried for ten months and gave birth to!
However, because of Nangong Xueyao's repeated framing, their relationship turned into that of enemies!
How can she make amends? Will Achu forgive her?
Nangong Wang and the others also felt guilty.
Especially Nangong Tianchen and Nangong Tianling.
They recalled the things they had done to hurt Achu and the various harsh words they had spoken to her.
The memory, which had been blurred, suddenly became clear again.
They could almost see the hurt and sad expression on Achu's face at that time.
Nangong Tianyu recalled the cautious yet expectant look in A Chu's eyes when she was first brought back.
But later, the light slowly went out.
Nangong Wang was probably more frustrated than anything else.
After all, biological daughters are far superior to adopted daughters, both in appearance and in their boyfriends!
Hopefully, their relationship can be repaired.
No, it can definitely be repaired; they are blood relatives!
In order to show Ah Chu that the third branch of the family truly repented, Nangong Wang immediately had someone write a touching message and posted it on Weibo after seeing the official statement issued by Nangong Group on Weibo in the morning.
Furthermore, despite Nangong Xueyao's tearful pleas, he ordered her to move out of the Nangong Manor immediately.
Xu Li did not stop her.
She hadn't slept all night and had cried a lot, so she felt dizzy and her head was throbbing.
In the afternoon, Nangong Wang heard that Achu had returned, and he wanted to ask her to go to the main building with him.
She refused.
Xu Li didn't know how to face A Chu yet; she needed time to prepare herself mentally.
Ah Chu already knew about what happened in the third wife's house through Yi Lan.
Of course, she also received apology messages from the three Nangong brothers.
Nangong Tianyu's apology seemed quite sincere, while Nangong Tianchen and Nangong Tianling's seemed a bit awkward.
But what good is an apology?
She had no intention of forgiving them.
Therefore, Achu did not reply to their messages.
The next morning, as expected, Nangong Wang came to the main building to have breakfast with the old man.
Nangong Tianyu and Nangong Tianchen also came with them.
Xu Li still didn't know how to face A Chu, so she didn't come.
Nangong Tianling was the same; he was at the age when he cared most about his image, and sending an apology message to Achu was the most humble thing he could do.
So he made an excuse to go back to school, and planned to wait until his older brother and the others had appeased A-Chu before going home.
As soon as the father and his two sons entered the main building's restaurant, they saw Ah Chu sitting at the table.
The three men had different expressions.
They greeted the old man first, and then looked at A-Chu.
Nangong Wang's face showed just the right amount of guilt and regret: "Achu, Dad must apologize to you in person. I've wronged you all these years!"
"Your mother cried for two days because she remembered the hurt she had caused you over the years, and she didn't know how to face you."
"Don't worry, your dad, mom, and brothers will do their best to make it up to you in the future!"
Nangong Tianyu: "Achu, I'm sorry."
Nangong Tianchen awkwardly apologized to Achu as well.
He paused for a moment, then added, "If you're still angry, you can smash a glass and I'll roll around on it!"
Ah Chu chuckled ambiguously and said, "That won't be necessary. Is rolling around once enough to make up for all the harm I suffered?"
Nangong Tianchen was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat angry.
What does she mean by this? Does she not forgive him? Or does she think he hasn't been thoroughly hurt?
Just as Nangong Tianchen was about to question him, he saw that Achu had already turned to talk to Nangong Tianyue.
He felt a lump in his throat, unable to exhale or exhale, and his face turned ashen with discomfort.
Nangong Tianyu tugged at him from the side.
They all knew that Achu was angry.
That's normal.
So many years of hurt cannot be forgiven with just an apology.
Take your time.
The old man watched from the side without saying a word.
Today is the monthly board meeting, and the old man will be attending.
Nangong Wang came over to have breakfast with the old man, hoping to go to the company together.
His little scheme was that seeing him attend events with the old man would make him seem more important.
The old man ignored Nangong Wang's petty thoughts.
After breakfast, everyone went out together.
However, when Nangong Wang wanted to ride in the same car as the old man, he was refused.
“Achu is in the same car as me.”
Upon hearing the old man's words, Nangong Wang noticed that A Chu was also dressed very formally today, in a black women's suit.
"Is Achu going to the company too?" Nangong Wang asked, somewhat surprised.
