Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Apology
No ordinary troublemaker, Zhao Mingshan realized she should raise her guard against Gong Ruini a notch or two.
Is she really someone who can keep her cool? Zhao Mingshan seriously doubted if she was just a village girl.
Even if she was a sharp Northeastern Rural girl, she shouldn’t be this calculating.
Zhao Mingshan has seen Gong Ruini’s parents, and although they’re not fools, their honest demeanor, always following Zhao Xuran’s parents around, showed they’re just simple folks.
Zhao Mingshan genuinely couldn’t understand how such honest parents could have such a cunning daughter when her brother, Gong Ruwen, wasn’t that smart.
In her mind, Zhao Mingshan kept grumbling, but she stepped out and said, "What’s the matter, Ni Zi?"
Calling her "Ni Zi," Gong Ruini felt a surge of anger. Did I ever agree to be called Ni Zi?
Calling me Ni Zi in front of everyone is supposed to mean we’re close?
Hmph, really good at acting, but isn’t it all just a performance? Gong Ruini felt she could play along.
Isn’t it just a performance? Let’s play then. "Sister Mingshan, I really apologize for the rumors I heard outside. I really don’t know how these rumors came about."
"Yes, yes, I know." Zhao Mingshan’s mind was also shouting, doesn’t she dislike me, why does she sound so sweet calling me sister?
My goodness, Zhao Mingshan had seen Gong Ruini at Zhuge Zhi’s house, ignoring each other would’ve been best, let alone calling each other sister or brother.
That call of ’sister’ just now resulted from lots of inner turmoil for Zhao Mingshan, yet she managed to suppress her disgust, thinking she’d win this round.
Unexpectedly... sigh, is this really just a child? Zhao Mingshan was truly conflicted.
Perhaps the Gong Family in the Southern region isn’t a small household, it’s an influential family with its own disputes. Gong Ruini might be a failed faction member, otherwise why go to the Northeast, and why know such things at a young age.
Yes, must be that way, otherwise, how could she suppress her? Zhao Mingshan made various mental preparations for being lesser than Gong Ruini.
Gong Ruini didn’t know that just her performance earlier prompted Zhao Mingshan to assign her such an identity, it was hilarious.
"It’s fine if Sister knows, but this has to be addressed, it’s quite a long story."
"Although I can keep it brief, my classmates were scared by Sister Mingshan’s glare at me this morning, and then you said nothing, so they kept speculating."
"At the time, I explained with Guang Ran, I thought it was over, I really didn’t expect it to spread even more outside."
"I was so terrified when I heard, I couldn’t even eat lunch. I really need to apologize to Sister."
"Sister, I can explain to each class. My fainting really had nothing to do with you, Sister."
Gong Ruini was very nervous, her face flushed red, pulling Zhao Mingshan’s hand, "I really worry about Sister being angry."
Act, keep acting. How can you perform like this? Zhao Mingshan was half-dead with anger at Gong Ruini, whoever claims little girls are innocent and don’t scheme should toss out Gong Ruini’s current words and expressions.
Is this girl really that easy to bully? For a moment, Zhao Mingshan was truly stunned.
"Sister, let’s go explain, I can find my classmates to clarify."
"Yes, start with Cao Na." Gong Ruini expressed that enthusiastic Cao Na would surely be willing to help.
Cao Na hated Zhao Mingshan very much, given such a chance, why wouldn’t she perform well? Anyway, lots of people remembered Zhao Mingshan at the class entrance today, they’ll definitely have fresh memories.
There’s absolutely no need to smear her, just presenting the facts will be enough for her to suffer.
What? Going from class to class to explain, Zhao Mingshan was dumbfounded, isn’t it just an apology, is this necessary?
Moreover, she actually wanted to call Cao Na, Zhao Mingshan’s first instinct was to not involve her, this girl would definitely seize the chance to viciously stab her.
This so-called apology tour, Zhao Mingshan could foresee how miserable she’d be.
"No, no." Can’t let Cao Na succeed, definitely not.
Knowing Cao Na and Zhao Mingshan had unresolved issues, or rather, they had various conflicts; yet, Zhao Mingshan’s intense reaction was unexpected.
This abnormal behavior really excited Gong Ruini, but wasn’t Zhao Mingshan’s agitation a good thing?
"How could you not apologize?" Gong Ruini continued to feign innocence and confusion, truthfully unaware of the backstory, hence she felt no burden in acting.
"I said no, and that’s final." Zhao Mingshan tried to shake off Gong Ruini’s grip, earlier she did it to signify intimacy and familiarity, now she feared she might flee.
Unbelievable, looking at Zhao Mingshan suddenly erupting and fiercely shaking off her hand left Gong Ruini awestruck.
"Sister Mingshan, are you angry? Otherwise, why won’t you accept my apology? I truly didn’t know about this." What a good chance to act, Gong Ruini didn’t know why she was so agitated, but why not seize such a chance?
Didn’t see how even Zhao Mingshan’s classmates were dumbfounded? Hmph, Zhao Mingshan was just pretending, playing the gracious and considerate gentlewoman, now suddenly changing her image, how can they not be shocked?
Too bad someone isn’t agitated enough. Gong Ruini thought how nice it would be if someone could vent by punching her a few times, but it’s just thoughts, what if a punch hit the eye?
"That’s right." Cao Na, hearing Gong Ruini was apologizing to Zhao Mingshan, initially felt dissatisfied, but let the rumors spread, as long as everyone knows it’s unrelated to her.
But shockingly, it happened this way. Beside her, Cao Na cheered on, without dignity, so what, at least it angered Zhao Mingshan, not bad, this tactic was great. In the future, Cao Na thought she should adopt this method, ensuring certain people face their deserved punishment.
"Miss Zhuge, this is not right, clearly Gong Ruini came to apologize to you, although it’s unrelated to her, she still came, while your attitude is full of doubt."
"I think if you don’t believe Gong Ruini, I can recount the events." Cao Na was ready to recount the situation.
If someone else spoke, Zhao Mingshan wouldn’t be this agitated, but it was Cao Na speaking, how could it not provoke Zhao Mingshan, "Don’t you say it, you just want to strike and revenge on me."
"I know you blame me, I truly didn’t do it intentionally." Zhao Mingshan shouted at Cao Na, her eyes red.
