Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart

Chapter 335: Apology

"It’s one thing to fail at being human, but this kind of failure, what’s left for an old lady like me to say?"Fang old lady sighed helplessly, "If it were anyone else in the Shen Family, it’d be one thing, but you dared to mess with the third young lady from Shen Er’s family? Are you asking for trouble, huh?"

"Do you think she’s still that clueless little fool who smiled no matter how much you mocked or sneered at her?"

Wang Li dared not reply, just covered her swollen face and silently shed tears.

"Look at what you’ve done now!" Fang old lady spread her hands, "Everyone in the village believes you’ve been sleeping around. Whether you’re shameless or not doesn’t matter, but what about my son’s face? Where do you expect an old lady’s face to go? And what about Da Ya, she’s married off to another village—if people there hear this gossip and her in-laws despise her for it, how will she manage?"

"I... what should I do?" Wang Li grew more fearful the more she listened.

"What to do?" Fang old lady scoffed coldly, "When you were running your mouth to the Qiu Family, did you ever consider what they might do?"

"Mother, I know I was wrong!" Wang Li choked out tearfully, "I won’t dare anymore! Ever!"

It was jealousy at the Shen family’s sudden prosperity that turned her heart malicious,

"What to do?" Fang old lady snorted, "You ask what to do? And haven’t yet hurried to apologize to the Shen Family?"

"Apologize?" Wang Li’s face changed color, "I..."

"What? Unwilling?" Fang old lady’s expression turned cold, "Then I’ll have A Liang divorce you, and be done with it!"

"Mother!"

Fang Liang wanted to say something but was silenced by a glare from Fang old lady.

"I’ll go," Wang Li said, crying: "I’ll go right now!"

After speaking, she turned around, went out, and knocked on the Shen Family’s door.

The door was answered by Shen Qinglan, who saw her face full of bruises and disheveled hair, hardly surprised.

Because the commotion from next door had already reached her ears.

Feigning ignorance, she asked, "What brings you here?"

"I..."

Wang Li knelt down with a "thud," and cried, "I was wrong, Third Miss, I shouldn’t have gossiped at the Qiu Family about yours. Please do me a favor and clarify for me!"

"Oh?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Weren’t you saying that your mouth is yours, and you can say whatever you want?"

"I was wrong, it’s my fault!"

She cried while trying to tug at Shen Qinglan’s dress hem, but Shen Qinglan evaded.

Passersby gathered around, and not long after, quite a crowd had formed.

The Shen family members inside also came out upon hearing the commotion to see what was going on.

"This..." Dong Yao asked Shen Qinglan in surprise and low voice, "Why is she kneeling here?"

"To apologize." Shen Qinglan replied indifferently.

"Apologize?" Dong Yao frowned, "Why has she suddenly had a change of heart?"

"Miss Shen, please clarify for me, I didn’t really steal someone away!" Wang Li knocked her head twice and choked out loudly: "I promise I won’t gossip about your family again in the future!"

Shen Qinglan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This lady is rather clever, with this, everyone now knows she was the source of the rumors.

"This..."

Dong Yao looked suspiciously at Shen Qinglan, only to hear her say coldly, "Do you now understand what it feels like to be slandered?"

"I understand, I understand!" Wang Li nodded repeatedly, sniffing, and said: "It’s my fault, please forgive me this time, I won’t dare again!"

"You should be thankful that my Second Brother’s engagement wasn’t ruined by you." Shen Qinglan’s voice remained icy cold.
