254 Just Because Your Apologized Doesn’t Mean I Have To Forgive You
Although the woman didn’t know Yuan hui personally, the moment she realized that she was the eldest daughter of the Yuan clan, all she could do was tremble in fear.
“Absolutely not. I wouldn’t dare.” The woman kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Hui. She was truly afraid of angering this young girl in front of her. She wouldn’t be able to continue living in Guangqing Province if she provoked Yuan Hui!
Yuan Hui sneered and said, “There’s nothing that you wouldn’t dare to do. I invited this doctor here. If you have something against her, that means you have something against me. Now you’re saying that you don’t dare? Isn’t it a little late? You said that she’s staying in this inn because she wants to seduce your brother-in-law. Who are you to say something like that?”
“I was just anxious and said very inappropriate things. I was just so worried that my brother-in-law would do something wrong. I’m really, really sorry for insulting this lady here. Whatever I said was absolute nonsense. She definitely did not seduce my brother-in-law.” The woman only dared to bully those who appeared powerless. She was absolutely adamant about not apologizing just now, yet the moment Yuan Hui appeared, she immediately gave in.
Zhao Chuchu found it hilarious.
Regardless of the era and location, there were plenty of people like this who had entirely different characters based on who they were interacting with.
Yuan Hui said, “You shouldn’t be apologizing to me. Why are you saying those things to me?”
The woman choked for a moment.
Moments later, she looked at Zhao Chuchu shamefully and said, “Miss, I’m really sorry for saying all that nonsense. I couldn’t control my mouth and said all kinds of ridiculous things. So please be merciful and forgive me.”
“Sorry, but I’m not accepting your apology,” Zhao Chuchu said impassively.
“But I already apologized!”
“Do you think people are obliged to forgive you as long as you apologize? If Miss Yuan didn’t stand up for me today, I’m afraid you would have completely destroyed my reputation within a few days. So why should I accept your apology just because it took you a few seconds to come up with a dumb reason for what you did?”
“You…”
“It’s your business if you want to apologize. It’s my business whether I want to accept your apology. Just because you apologized doesn’t mean I have to accept it!”
“Miss Yuan, you see her reaction. She’s the one who’s going overboard with this.”
Yuan Hui smiled and said, “My friend can be quite eccentric sometimes. So if she’s not happy, that means she’s not happy. So what if she doesn’t accept your apology?”
“But I already said sorry to her. She can’t do this to me!”
“If I kill you, then apologize and say that it was a mistake, will you forgive me?” Zhao Chuchu asked her.
The woman didn’t know how to refute her.
Zhao Chuchu approached the woman and whispered softly beside her ear. “That day, many people saw me save the father and his son. Yet, you have decided to ignore this obvious fact that is easy to prove in order to insist on your insults and accusations.
“It’s simply because your sister and your brother-in-law didn’t have children after years of marriage, and you want to replace your sister, am I right? That’s why you regard your brother-in-law as your man, your property. So whenever any women appear around him, you think they are trying to take your brother-in-law away from you.
“To be honest, I’ve seen sluts, but I’ve never seen one as slutty as you. You’re trying your absolute best to destroy your sister’s marriage so you can get with your brother-in-law. Are you praying every day that your sister will just die? Aren’t you afraid of receiving divine retribution someday?”
The woman’s expression changed completely when she heard that. She stared at Zhao Chuchu in fear and said, “No, no, that’s all lies!”
A devilish smile appeared on Zhao Chuchu’s face as she said, “You know in your heart whether I’m lying. If you continue to mess around with me, I’ll tell everyone about the illness in your lower body. Let’s see who’s the one who won’t be able to lie in Guangqing Province by then!”
The woman moved several steps back.
Although she didn’t really try to hide her intentions, she wasn’t ready for someone to put them out in the open like this. It was like someone had stripped off all her clothes in broad daylight. It made her feel so embarrassed and shameful that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
Zhao Chuchu smiled when she saw the woman’s reaction. This person was absolutely no match for her.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” the woman kept repeating under her breath. Then, while the crowd wasn’t paying attention, she ran out of the inn as fast as she could. She didn’t dare to stay even one extra second because she feared that Zhao Chuchu might reveal her secret. If Zhao Chuchu had done that, she wouldn’t be able to continue staying in Guangqing Province.
The owner of the inn felt very embarrassed. He said, “Miss Yuan, doctor, I’m really sorry. I don’t know why she suddenly barged into my inn and said those stupid things. I’ll tell my wife to discipline her immediately. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience caused.”
“That’s fine. It’s none of my business anyway. Just be more careful next time. Bye then.”
Zhao Chuchu waved her hand at the inn owner. She wasn’t the kind of person who would be affected by incidents like this.
Yuan Hui followed her out.
“Who was that woman? I heard her spewing all that bullshit the moment I arrived. What did you do to her?” Yuan Hui asked.
Zhao Chuchu said, “It’s because of a man. She felt like someone was laying hands on her precious treasure.”
“The owner of the inn?”
“Yup.”
“Does she think that every woman is as shameless as her?”
Yuan Hui found it ridiculous.
The owner of the inn seemed to be almost 40 years old. He’s been running this small inn for the longest time. He couldn’t be considered extremely wealthy, though he was a little richer than most ordinary families.
But would he be good enough for Zhao Chuchu?
Could Zhao Chuchu be attracted to someone like that?
That woman was way overestimating her taste in men.
Although the owner of the inn was quite decent for most women, that was definitely not the case for Zhao Chuchu!
She’s an extremely talented and proficient doctor. So naturally, she would be treated as a VIP wherever she went. So why would she be attracted to an older man like the owner of the inn? Because she’s waiting for him to pass away so she could inherit his “wealth”?
Yuan Hui couldn’t help but think about how ridiculous the woman’s thought process was, but she didn’t say it to Zhao Chuchu.
“Chuchu, I’ve bought all the medicine you requested. When can you start treating my grandmother?” Yuan Hui changed the topic of the conversation. Her grandmother’s illness was far more important than the owner of the inn.
“We’ll go back now and start immediately,” Zhao Chuchu said. She paused, then asked, “Does your mother know about this?”
“She has eyes everywhere. It’s impossible to hide from her.”
“What about the others?”
“They may not know yet.”
“Hmm, that’s okay. Let’s go back first.”
Madam Huo must have helped her secretly get all the herbs on the list.
Otherwise, Yuan Hui probably couldn’t have done it so quickly with her current influence in the Yuan clan.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t tell Yuan Hui about this speculation.
The best scenario right now is for Yuan Hui and her “mother” to be opposed to each other.
Otherwise, the only ending waiting for Yuan Hui is death.
After all, people always like to pick on the weak.
The two of them returned to the Yuan clan.
Zhao Chuchu met Madam Huo again.
She could have sworn that Madam Huo definitely knew who she was.
Yuan Hui tried her best to hide it from Madam Huo, but Zhao Chuchu was a famous “miracle doctor.” There was no way that Yuan Hui could hide Zhao Chuchu’s identity from others when she brought Zhao Chuchu back in broad daylight like this.
“Greetings, Mrs. Yuan.” Zhao Chuchu nodded at her as a gesture of respect.
“There’s no need to be so polite,” Madam Huo said. “I hope you find this house comfortable. Sorry that I couldn’t give you a proper welcome previously. I was very busy with work.”
“Don’t worry. There’s no need for that. I already feel very sorry for staying in the house and disturbing the family. Thank you very much for allowing me to stay here.”
“You are Yuan Hui’s friend, which means you’re our friend too. There’s no need to be so polite with friends. I see you’re carrying a medicine box. Are you a doctor?”
“I learned a bit of medical knowledge when I was young, but I’m not an expert. I can probably cure a cough or a common cold, but I can’t treat anything more serious than that.”
Zhao Chuchu appeared very humble.
Yuan Hui was speechless.
