263- Acknowledging Your Wrongdoings (认错)

However Qiao Hong Ye didn’t agree with Jiang Xia’s way of thinking, she understood clearly that this dispute between the tea house and the victims shouldn’t be dragged out, instead they should just apologize and admit their mistake.

Adding on to the fact that Jiang Wen Sheng was taken away, leaving behind his wife and kid, if they were to just cry and kneel for awhile, the teahouse which comprised mainly of old people would have some form of compassion and forgive them, causing such a serious matter to become a small one, allowing the Jiang Family to pay a much lesser sum of compensation.

But now... with Jiang Xia being the dumbass he was, spouted those crass words, making the situation even more dire than before.

“Little brother, you said that your tea house wasn’t the cause of it right? That’s fine! But if the police’s investigation results comes out and it shows that your tea house was the cause of it, will you guys kneel on the street and apologize? Can you do that?

“Why should I apologize? Those three people didn’t even die!” Jiang Xia angrily said.

It was only suffering from the poison, it wasn’t like they died. If it really was our fault, we could just pay their hospital fees right? Also their bill was comped, what more do they want? We could just prevent them from coming here again in the future, what qualifications do they have to force me to kneel and apologize?

Thankfully the surrounding people couldn’t hear Jiang Xia’s true thoughts or they wouldn’t have been able to hold themselves back.

Qiao Hong Ye finally couldn’t handle Jiang Xia’s stupidity after hearing his outrageous comment, with red and teary eyes she turned to the onlookers and said, “Uncles, Aunties, for this serious matter, we were wholly in the wrong; we will definitely be responsible. Jiang Xia’s just too worried about his father, hence his careless remarks and actions, I hope that you can understand where we’re coming from...”

Hearing this, the corners of Jing Yun Zhao’s eyes were raised as she continued watching the events unfold.

What right does Qiao Hong Ye have to interject herself into such a serious matter and speak for the Jiang Family? Unless she has a special identity. However the victims wouldn’t listen and give her any face unless they were crazy.

The benefits Qiao Hong Ye would get from this has to be the Jiang Family’s change of attitude towards her right? With Qiao Hong Ye helping them out of this predicament now, Mother Jiang also cannot continue to degrade her with the matter about Cao Xing anymore.

She truly was such a scheming person!

However...

Jing Yun Zhao’s eyes had a hint of mockery inside them, Qiao Hong Ye was afraid to go back to the Qiao Family so she had to appease Mother Jiang to gain her favour, but she forgot about Jiang Xia.

Or maybe she was just too confident in the fact that she could still gain Jiang Xia’s love even after she disregarded his stance.

“Who are you to represent them, little girl!? Are you able to make decisions for them? After all, the Jiang Family’s young master has already denied any responsibility, your words now don’t hold any weight!?” one of the onlookers screamed.

Qiao Hong Ye said with an apologetic look, “I- I’m Jiang Xia’s girlfriend, I fully understand his personality; he only said those words in the heat of the moment cause he was scared. I believe you’re all kind people with no intentions to harm anyone, however this was really an accident and since it already happened, we will definitely compensate your family in due time...”

Mother Jiang, who was still furious and at a loss for words hurriedly nodded her head after hearing Qiao Hong Ye’s words.

She too didn’t agree with what her son said towards the onlookers, and now she didn’t dare to step forward and say anything for fear of triggering the agitated crowd.

Jiang Xia, however, looked embarrassed and felt that he was humiliated.

He felt that this matter wasn’t even that serious, yet Qiao Hong Ye still humiliated him by saying he was scared just to appease the onlookers.

He was fighting and winning against them with so much momentum; he was so brave and heroic to defend her and his mom, yet she dared to humiliate him? (C: Im starting to feel a tad bit bad for QHY)

“How can we believe the words of a little girl! Unless that person writes an agreement and writes a check of 200,000 dollars for the three victims, we won’t let this matter rest!” the onlookers said while pointed at Mother Jiang.

The situation was getting dire with no way out.

Then, Qiao Hong Ye saw Jing Yun Zhao by the sidelines, and screamed, “If you guys don’t believe me, surely you’ll believe her right!? She’s my sister, and she was the one who saved the three victims previously!”
