Before he could say anything else, he saw Xu Jinshu walk to the center of the venue, look at Qin Ying, then look at the people present, and say seriously and earnestly:
"Yingying, your achievements today are proof of your outstanding abilities. Mom was wrong. I solemnly apologize to you for what happened yesterday.
They all said you didn't have the ability to get into medical school and spread all kinds of slanderous rumors about you. I shouldn't have made such arbitrary accusations based solely on my own judgment. I was short-sighted and misunderstood you."
She paused, then continued sincerely and apologetically:
"I have always hoped for a stable family, but I ignored your feelings and grievances. You have proven yourself with your strength, and let me see your tenacity and excellence. This magnanimity and talent are a blessing to our Fu family. I take back what I said yesterday. Let the past be the past. There is still a long time to go. We will get along well as a family. Can you forgive me?"
She always thought that Qin Ying applied to medical school because Wei Zhuolan cared about her, but it turned out that it was not the case. Qin Ying herself had such ability.
Everyone thought Qin Ying was overestimating her abilities, but unexpectedly, everyone underestimated her strength.
Qin Ying didn't expect Xu Jinshu to apologize to her in public, which caught her off guard.
Things had turned out so fast that she didn't know how to deal with it.
Everyone around was watching them, and family disgrace should not be made public. Xu Jinshu was a university professor and the head of the family. The fact that she could formally apologize to her in front of everyone showed her insight and broad-mindedness.
Moreover, by doing this, she was undoubtedly helping her to clarify the rumors.
As she was thinking, her hand hanging by her side was suddenly grasped by Fu Hanzhou's warm palm, and his voice came clearly:
"Qin Ying, I apologized to you in front of so many people. I can see that she has deeply realized her mistakes. She is the elder and can humble herself for the sake of this family. I know that what I said yesterday made you feel wronged..."
Qin Ying didn't listen to him anymore and said to Xu Jinshu:
"Mom, please stop saying that. I understand your intentions. This is all a misunderstanding. We are a family and we don't have different opinions."
She cannot be ungrateful, nor can she lose face. Regardless of whether she forgives Xu Jinshu or not, whether they divorce or not, now is not the time and place to discuss it.
Fu Hanting didn't expect her mother to say such words to Qin Ying.
But she immediately understood what her mother meant.
They seemed to have wronged Qin Ying all along. The reason why she dared to apply for medical school and the reason why she was able to consult Wei Zhuolan about medical school was because she was strong enough.
I didn't apply for the exam just because I liked Wei Zhuolan.
Moreover, the medical knowledge she displayed also showed that she was generally very interested in medicine.
She stood aside, feeling more and more ashamed the more she thought about it.
However, with so many people watching, she felt embarrassed to say anything.
As I was hesitating, I suddenly saw Fu Hanzhou walk forward a few steps and stand in the middle of the crowd. His expression was stern and he said solemnly:
"Dear comrades and military families, today is the joyous day that Comrade Qin Ying has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination. She has achieved this honor through her own hard work and is the pride of our compound. However, before this, many rumors about her were spread throughout the compound, which is extremely inappropriate.
We live in a military compound, and every word and action should be guided by rules and discipline. A positive atmosphere must be maintained by all. Malicious rumors not only undermine neighborhood harmony but also damage the compound's image. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. Let's all be more kind and less groundless. Let's all be happy for Comrade Qin Ying and work hard for the compound to become even better!
As soon as Fu Hanzhou finished speaking, Chen Guihua suddenly emerged from the crowd in disgrace. With her head lowered and a face full of shame, she walked up to Qin Ying and cried out in a tearful voice:
"Captain Fu, Qin Ying, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said bad things about you and spread rumors about you behind your back. Please be magnanimous and forgive me, such a fool!"
When the people around saw this scene, they became even quieter and all looked at Chen Guihua.
Aunt Li in the crowd looked at her with disdain. She had caught Qin Ying and made fun of her yesterday because of Chen Guihua's nonsense. She felt very embarrassed standing there and said in a reproachful tone:
"Chen Guihua, you always said Qin Ying wouldn't pass the exam, that she was from the countryside, illiterate, and would only get a zero in the college entrance exam. Look, she's now the top scorer. You were wrong, weren't you?"
Aunt Wang thought about what happened yesterday and was also embarrassed. She echoed:
"That's right, you said such harsh words before, saying that Qin Ying was overestimating her abilities. Now you've been slapped in the face!"
Chen Guihua listened to their scolding, her face turned pale and she lowered her head in shame.
The people around them started talking about it. Chen Guihua's apology now was definitely not just because Qin Ying became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Because if there is any movement in each household in the compound, everyone will know about it soon.
The crowd's eyes began to change as they looked at Chen Guihua, and the tone of their discussions gradually changed.
"That's not right, Chen Guihua, you didn't come here to apologize just because Qin Ying became the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"
Aunt Wang's question caused the discussion to get louder. Chen Guihua looked at Fu Hanzhou in shame and dared not speak anymore.
Qin Ying frowned. Could there be some other hidden story behind Chen Guihua's incident?
She subconsciously looked at Fu Hanzhou, but saw that he was looking at Chen Guihua in front of him calmly, without any fluctuation on his face.
Aunt Wang continued to sneer:
"Is it because your husband Zhou Dali's job promotion was affected that you came to apologize to Qin Ying? If this incident hadn't happened, who knows how you would have framed her."
