In order to restore Old Madam Gu's affection for Mei Yin, Gu Nianqiang had no choice but to take the blame herself; otherwise, both of them would lose their trust and she would have no standing in the family in the future.
It only made her feel worse by lowering herself and elevating Mei Yin, which made Old Mrs. Gu even more disgusted with her. This feeling was really unpleasant, but she couldn't find a better way to solve it right now.
Myne put on an innocent act and spoke up in her defense.
"Grandma, please don't blame Sister Nianqiang anymore. She already knows she was wrong."
Grandma Gu's eyes clearly showed disbelief. After this incident, her impression of Gu Nianqiang was completely destroyed.
If it weren't for Myne's constant help, I would have loved to kick her out.
“Gu Nianqiang, listen to me carefully. I’m giving you one last chance. If I find out you’re doing this kind of bad thing again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Gu Nianqiang lowered her head sincerely: "I remember, Grandma, and I promise I will never do it again."
She clenched her fists tightly, blaming that damned Jiang Yilai for pushing her to this desperate situation.
And that's not all. She also has leverage over her, and the money she's demanding is outrageous; not a single penny can be given to her.
But for now, he didn't dare to provoke her, so he could only go over and apologize to calm her down.
"That would be for the best. If you corrupt my granddaughter again, you'll be sorry."
Gu Nianqiang has no other choice but to nod and admit her mistake.
Upon arriving at Jiang Yilai's law firm, Old Mrs. Gu took a deep breath. It wasn't easy for her to swallow her pride and admit her mistakes, but that was her nature; she had to resolve problems properly.
Jiang Yilai had given prior instructions, so after the group arrived, Zhang Yue took them directly to the office.
"President Jiang, they've arrived."
"You've worked hard, you can go ahead and get busy."
Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Nianqiang, and she quickly placed the prepared apology gifts on the table.
“Miss Jiang, I’m so sorry about what happened that day. I misunderstood you. Although you said you didn’t need to come, this matter is very important to me, and I must apologize to you in person.”
After speaking, Grandma Gu nodded sincerely, showing that she genuinely admitted her mistake.
Mei Yin stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was jealous of you, so I used this method to frame you. Please forgive me."
Jiang Yilai knew she wouldn't dare not come; if she lost Old Madam Gu's affection, she would be nothing.
Jiang Yilai's eyes darkened slightly, and her gaze fell on Gu Nianqiang again.
She panicked and quickly went to the front, bowing her head sincerely.
"Miss Jiang, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault this time. Please be lenient and forgive us."
Jiang Yilai smiled calmly and said, "Since you sincerely admit your mistakes, I don't want to hold it against you anymore. I just hope you won't cause me any more trouble in the future."
Grandma Gu immediately assured them, "You can rest assured about that. I warned them on the way here and promised they wouldn't cause you any more trouble. If this happens again, I'll be the first to hold them accountable."
In fact, Jiang Yilai admires Old Mrs. Gu's personality; in her world, she clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.
She did this to protect her family. In that situation, it was indeed difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Jiang Yilai hated the two culprits.
The fact that she insisted on bringing the person over herself shows her sincerity and prevents Jiang Yilai from making things difficult for her.
“You were also misled last time, which led to the misunderstanding. I can see that you are a reasonable person, and I believe you can do it.”
