Chapter 418: Apologize

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong sat up straight. “Let him in.”

When Jiang Yongkang came over, Madam Jiang, who was a servant, brought Tong Shuitao out. Only Gu Yundong, Shao Qingyuan, and Shen Sitian were left in the central room. Even Aunt Ke had left.

When Jiang Yongkang came in, his face was ashen and he looked a little haggard.

After he entered, he glanced at Shen Sitian, whose expression changed slightly and she clenched her fists tightly.

“Sit.” Gu Yundong pointed to a chair at the side.

Jiang Yongkang smiled bitterly. She had stopped calling him Uncle Jiang.

He lowered his head slightly, rubbed his hands, and said uneasily, “I won’t sit. I came here today to apologize to Miss Shen.”

Shen Sitian’s expression was tense, and her voice turned colder. “What are you trying to say?”

“I know I did something wrong yesterday. I shouldn’t have asked those hooligans to scare you. I just…”

As he spoke, he paused and took a deep breath. “It’s just that since the first time I saw you, I… I’ve liked you. I know that I’m letting my imagination run wild. I’m already so old and have children and grandchildren. You won’t like me. If I rashly propose marriage, I might be chased out. That’s why I took a crooked path and thought of that method.”

Shen Sitian’s expression turned even uglier. Looking at Jiang Yongkang at this moment, she inexplicably thought of Gu Gang.

Even though Jiang Yongkang was much younger than Gu Gang, the feeling of being liked by her elders was simply terrible.

As Jiang Yongkang spoke, he covered his face. After a while, he said, “I’m too ashamed to see you again. I came here today to apologize to you. You can punish me however you want.”

He bowed deeply and stood there with his head lowered, looking like he was letting Shen Sitian hit and scold him.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and then at Shen Sitian.

After all, this was her business and Gu Yundong could not interfere too much.

Shen Sitian only felt very annoyed. Her previous respect for Jiang Yongkang instantly disappeared. She stood up and said, “Please don’t appear in front of me in the future.”

Jiang Yongkang looked up in shock. When he met Shen Sitian’s rejecting gaze, his eyes darkened.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “…Okay.”

Then, he apologized again, turned around, and strode away.

However, Shen Sitian seemed to have run out of energy and fell back into her chair. “What’s going on?”

Aunt Ke came out of nowhere. She must’ve heard a lot. She walked to Shen Sitian’s side and patted her shoulder. “You’re good-looking and have a good personality. It’s normal for someone to like you.”

It was just that this person was overestimating himself. He was simply a toad lusting after swan meat.

How could a beautiful young lady take a fancy to an old uncle?

“I just feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable all over,” Shen Sitian said weakly.

“Then why did you let him off so easily?” Gu Yundong asked.

“What else? Do you think I should beat him up?” She only wanted to draw the line between them quickly and did not want to pester him at all.

“Why not? It’s good to kick him twice. It’s not too much to teach him a lesson for what he did yesterday.”

Anyway, if it were her, Gu Yundong would have wanted to hit him.

She suddenly thought of Shao Qingyuan. She narrowed her eyes and turned to look at him.

Shao Qingyuan had actually been looking at her. Whenever Gu Yundong was present, his gaze was mostly on her.

Therefore, when he saw her get up and go to the backyard, he followed her when no one was looking..
