He Lijuan's attitude infuriated An Wan to the point of utter despair.
If it weren't for the fact that the new shoes were a gift from He Lijuan, she would definitely have beaten He Lijuan to death.
So all she could do was tell herself to calm down, to stay calm.
This He Lijuan, I thought she was a good girl just now, but I didn't expect that Lu Jingxing wasn't here, so she didn't even bother to pretend anymore.
Now that their true colors have been revealed, it's truly unsightly; they lack manners and basic upbringing.
An Wan clenched her teeth tightly to hold back from saying anything sarcastic.
Her lips curled up into a sweet smile.
"Sister Lijuan, I'm returning your new shoes to you. My third brother asked me to do it. I'm sorry, he played a joke on you and felt bad, so he sent me to find you."
An Wan carefully considered her reasons for returning the shoes. If she didn't use them properly, He Lijuan would definitely be very angry, and might even cause a scene and hate her.
Fortunately, it was just her and He Lijuan on this road. If there had been a third person, the whole village would have known about it.
She also had to protect Lu Jingming's reputation, and absolutely could not let He Lijuan find out that he had used Lu Jingxing's name to take the new shoes for himself.
"A joke? Give me back my shoes? He was just teasing me! Lu Jingming, that liar!"
He Lijuan's face immediately turned ugly, like a palette of colors, sometimes red, sometimes white, and sometimes blackish-purple.
That despicable Lu Jingming, how dare he deliberately make fun of her?
She's probably laughing at her at home now.
Ahhhh—
"Sister Lijuan, I'm sorry. My third brother is still young, and it's normal for him to be playful. But he has realized his mistake, so please forgive him! I apologize to you on his behalf and promise that he will never make such jokes again. Please forgive him."
An Wan's voice was tinged with humility, hoping that He Lijuan would forgive Lu Jingming and let him go, considering how humble she was.
If He Lijuan is unwilling and makes a scene today, the reputations of both Lu Jingxing and Lu Jingming will be ruined.
"Hmph!" Seeing An Wan's pitiful appearance, He Lijuan's anger, which was stuck in her chest, could not be vented.
She had liked Lu Jingxing for many years, and being rejected by him just now was already heartbreaking enough.
As a result, Lu Jingming jumped out and offered to hand over the new shoes to him, which made her smile so happily the whole way.
But before she even got home, An Wan appeared, saying that Lu Jingming was just joking with her and that she should return the new shoes.
Who wouldn't be angry?
Aren't you sad?
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Jingming is Lu Jingxing's younger brother, she would have rushed to the Lu family and scratched his face with her fingernails.
Let's see if he dares to tease her again.
Besides, he's too ashamed to face me now and apologize.
She was so cowardly that she sent a five-year-old child to apologize to her.
Absolutely not sincere!
hateful!
"I want Lu Jingming to apologize to me in person. Is that too much to ask?"
He Lijuan didn't want to let him off easily, otherwise she would never be able to swallow this insult.
She was never a soft-hearted or kind person; what she admired was "an eye for an eye" and "revenge for wrongs."
“This?” An Wan hesitated. She also felt that Lu Jingming should come and apologize to He Lijuan in person.
But seeing how angry and upset he was just now, she didn't want to force him anymore.
Moreover, she was also at fault in this matter.
He's right. His arrival cost the Lu family a lot of money, which is why Yunping promised to buy him new shoes, but that promise never came true.
She was very wrong in this matter.
Therefore, she has to bear most of the responsibility for being in charge of delivering shoes to He Lijuan.
"What... is it that hard? He can't even do this, and he expects me to forgive him? Humph! No way! He has no sincerity at all."
He Lijuan didn't rush to take back her new shoes. Instead, she crossed her arms and gave a smug yet sarcastic smile.
