Chapter 118 Take Responsibility

Liu Che’s mother explained with a smile. Since her child had already agreed to apologize, she did not say anything else. She even took the initiative to approach Ji Mo. “Ji Mo, Auntie has also done something wrong in the past. I’m sorry. How about this? I will treat you to lunch as an apology, okay?”

That was the first time Ji Mo had faced such a situation, and he was at a loss. He subconsciously looked at Shen Hanxing. However, his sister-in-law pursed her lips as she stood by the side and watched the show, not intending to help.

“No, it’s alright,” Ji Mo subconsciously rejected.

“No, I insist on buying you lunch,” Liu Che’s mother was enthusiastic. “I thank your sister-in-law, and Liu Che has indeed done something wrong. Ji Mo, you have to give me a chance to apologize. You don’t have to accept Liu Che’s apology so soon. You can look at his performance and let him slowly make it up to you, okay?”

Liu Che’s mother was different from those upper-class ladies who paid attention to face and etiquette. Her attitude of apologizing was sincere.

“Liu Che didn’t do anything wrong…” Ji Mo lowered his head and muttered. Indeed, Liu Che didn’t do anything excessive, but those insults and ostracism were serious to the adolescent children. He didn’t want to justify Liu Che’s wrongdoings, but he did understand Liu Che’s actions.

Liu Che laughed embarrassedly. “Bro, I know I was too impulsive in the past and couldn’t settle the score on your mother or my father. So I vented all my anger on you. You don’t have to forgive me for courtesy’s sake. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can beat me up. I promise I won’t fight back.”

Seeing him like this, Ji Mo still felt uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and smiled. “Forget it. My hand will hurt when I beat you up.” Actually, Liu Che wasn’t a jerk. At least he took responsibility.

“Then for lunch today…” Liu Che’s mother looked at Ji Mo expectantly.

Ji Mo glanced at Shen Hanxing and nodded hesitantly. “Alright then.”

Liu Che’s mother immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly responded. She held Shen Hanxing’s hand and spoke passionately for quite a while. Liu Che’s mother carried the sincerity and ferocity of an ordinary person. Shen Hanxing, who had seen the false masks of the upper-class society, felt a sense of familiarity with her.

When the form teacher saw that they had resolved the matter satisfactorily, she also revealed a smile. She patted the shoulders of the two children with gratification. “It’s a good thing that you talked things through. Both of you are still young and have a long road ahead. When you grow up, you will realize that what you once thought was a big matter is a small matter.”

After pausing for a moment, the form teacher knocked Liu Che on the head. “Liu Che, you are not allowed to bully others in the future.” After saying that, she looked at Ji Mo and sighed. “Ji Mo, you’re such a thoughtful child. The college entrance exam is coming up soon. Work hard to see the different scenery in the outside world. Let the past be the past.”

“Miss Yu,” Ji Mo lifted his head to look at this middle-aged female teacher, who always made her students tremble in fear. Under her rigid and stern appearance, she had a soft heart. She had tried to help him more than once, but she was helpless and could only give him more meticulous care.

It wasn’t that Ji Mo didn’t know what Miss Yu had done. It was just that his emotions had covered his eyes, causing him to be cynical and implicate the innocent.

After a long silence, Ji Mo finally said in a deep voice, “Miss Yu, thank you for taking care of me all this while.”

“No worries, silly kid,” Miss Yu smiled and shook her head. “I’m your form teacher. As a teacher, I must take care of you.” However, Ji Mo knew she did not need to do so. The form teacher did not want to talk about that anymore. She took the initiative to communicate with her superior to apologize.

Grade 12 students had a heavy learning task. They couldn’t waste their precious learning time going to the playground to listen to Liu Che apologize to Ji Mo. The school would not agree to it. Liu Che pondered and slapped his thigh. “Since I can’t let the students gather, I’ll go to the broadcast room to apologize.”

He wanted to let all the teachers and students in the school hear his apology to Ji Mo. Looking at Liu Che’s positive attitude, those who didn’t know would think he was making some big speech.

Liu Che’s mother also thought that Liu Che’s suggestion was good. Shen Hanxing and Ji Mo didn’t have any objections. So, Liu Che went to the broadcast room to announce his apology.
