Chapter 168: Offer an Apology

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Offer an Apology

Bian Yue put down the teapot in her hand, speaking calmly: "I’m going to give Zhuang Jie Ning a big present."

Wen Jiao looked at Bian Yue’s composed manner and guessed that she had a plan in mind, so she didn’t say much, just looked at her seriously and whispered, "Bian Yue, no matter what you want to do, I support you."

Bian Yue was moved as she looked towards Wen Jiao.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time. With Wen Jiao disappearing for a while, Bian Yue had been worried. Now, she finally voiced her concerns, "Wen Jiao, about your marriage with Wei Shuqian..."

"Rest assured, no one can force me to do anything I don’t like." Wen Jiao lowered her eyes, concealing the complex emotions within, and said softly, "The reason I did this, the reason I agreed... it’s also the path I chose myself."

Bian Yue could tell that Wen Jiao was hiding a lot from her.

But they were no longer children, and as best friends, there was no need for full disclosure.

Bian Yue sincerely said: "Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say much. Jiaojiao, if you need my help, don’t be polite with me."

"Of course." Wen Jiao smiled, her gaze soft, "You too, if there’s anything tricky, you must tell me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, gripping each other’s hands tightly.

So many people drift apart over time, those who remain are hard-won treasures...

After leaving Honey Media, Huang Xin went straight to find Zhuang Jie Ning.

He was overly panicked and nervous, looking around warily all the way, and finally calmed down enough to check his phone, only to turn even paler at the trending topics.

The leak of the Shengshi Yan sample photos was a foregone conclusion. Huang Xin, being smart, knew that someone would have to take responsibility.

Huang Xin hoped that this person wouldn’t be him.

He had to find Zhuang Jie Ning and secure a way out for himself.

Following the arranged address, he went to the hot spring winery up in the mountains.

When Huang Xin was brought to Zhuang Jie Ning, she was sitting on the sofa, gracefully sipping red wine in her silken gown.

"Arrived so soon? What, Bian Yue didn’t give you a hard time?"

Zhuang Jie Ning’s voice was relaxed, utterly unconcerned, "I thought, at least you’d lose a layer of skin dealing with Bian Yue."

Huang Xin was pale as death, nervously approaching Zhuang Jie Ning, knowing he was bargaining with a tiger, he still had no choice but swallow his pride and said: "Miss Zhuang, I only gave the sample photos to you, but! Choosing to leak them was your own decision, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Of course, it has nothing to do with you, but what does it have to do with me?" Zhuang Jie Ning shrugged, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, looking at Huang Xin, "I certainly have never received any sample photos."

Huang Xin’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Zhuang Jie Ning, his limbs starting to go cold, his voice unable to hide his terror: "Mr. Zhuang, what do you mean by that..."

"You claim you gave me the sample photos, do you have evidence? Even if you do, by breaking Xinghe’s confidentiality protocols and leaking company assets, you could be jailed for that."

Zhuang Jie Ning put down her wine glass, leisurely watching Huang Xin, shaking her head with a smile, "Tell me, how long do you think you’ll have to be in prison to cover your tracks?"

"Miss Zhuang, how could you betray me after crossing the bridge!" Overcome with anger, Huang Xin’s voice trembled, and he looked at Zhuang Jie Ning in agony before suddenly kneeling, "I’m just an ordinary person. Miss Zhuang, please show mercy and spare me!"

"I really don’t understand what you’re saying," Zhuang Jie Ning shook her head with a light chuckle. She said, "Huang Xin, the reason I agreed to meet you today is to tell you that as long as you admit to leaking the sample of ’Shengshi Yan,’ I will provide you with a compensation that will ensure you are well-fed for the rest of your life."

"Do you want me to take the blame?" Huang Xin’s heart felt ashened as he looked at Zhuang Jie Ning, his hands clenched into fists. "Miss Zhuang... don’t you think this is unfair to me?"

Xinghe was the result of Huang Xin’s life’s efforts, and the financial compensation offered by Zhuang Jie Ning was far from enough to tempt him.

Money is certainly important, but how can one live without dignity, completely numb to any sense of humanity?

But Zhuang Jie Ning didn’t think there was anything worth discussing with Huang Xin.

"You’re just an ordinary person, talking about fairness with me, do you think you’re worthy?"

Zhuang Jie Ning stood up, walked barefoot to Huang Xin, and looking down at this middle-aged man’s dejected face, she sneered with satisfaction: "If you learn how to be a dog at my side, I could provide you a meal, but if you refuse the wine I offer and insist on being punished, I have ways to put you away."

When Huang Xin was escorted out by Zhuang Jie Ning’s assistant, his steps were wavering.

He stood on the deserted mountain road for a long time, his expression lost.

It wasn’t until the grand gates of the hot spring winery slowly closed behind him that Huang Xin snapped back to reality, like a dog that had lost its home.

He opened the car door beside him with sluggish movements and sat in; after a while, he took out a prepared voice recorder from his pocket.

Huang Xin turned on his cellphone, and there was a text message from Bian Yue from two hours ago.

A string of simple and clear numbers: ’Zhuang Jie Ning is not to be trifled with. Working for her won’t end well. If you’re going to see her, remember to record it.’

Every word in the message was glaringly sharp, as if mocking his presumptuousness.

Huang Xin clenched his teeth and shakily dialed Bian Yue’s number...

Zhuang Jie Ning did not expect Bian Yue to go to the Li Family, and with the whirlwind online still unsolved, it was indeed surprising that Bian Yue would come to her, clearly not able to distinguish what was more urgent.

She must be really panicked.

This thought brought a pleased smile to Zhuang Jie Ning’s heart, so much so that when she returned to the Li Family, her face still wore a faint smile.

She saw Bian Yue and the sickly-looking Li Sihe sitting in the hall, and with a slight smile said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I just came down from the mountain, as you know, the suburbs are far."

Bian Yue placed a voice recorder on the table.

Zhuang Jie Ning’s face stiffened, and her smile turned strange, "Bian Yue, what is this supposed to mean?"

"The recording of your conversation with Huang Xin is right here, do you want to listen to it yourself?" Bian Yue calmly watched Zhuang Jie Ning and continued evenly, "On your way here, Li Sihe has already heard it."

Zhuang Jie Ning didn’t expect Huang Xin to dare to burn bridges with her. Her eyes reddened slightly as she coldly laughed at Bian Yue: "With just these few recordings, you expect me to admit my fault and apologize?"

"I didn’t think so." Bian Yue’s voice grew colder.

Yet, Li Sihe sitting beside her looked at Zhuang Jie Ning with icy peach blossom eyes, saying, "Return the sample to Bian Yue, now, immediately."

By the end of the statement, her voice contained an uncontrollable anger.

Zhuang Jie Ning’s hands clenched into fists, still desperately struggling, "Li Sihe, I don’t have the sample, the sample isn’t with me!"
