Chapter 365: A Disguised Explanation And A Counterstrike
“But, uncle, Shaofeng, and others don’t seem to welcome me here...” Song Shanshan blinked, flashing a victorious smirk at Yun Jian at an angle that Zhang Qishan could not see.
“Nothing like that!” Zhang Qishan fully believed Song Shanshan’s acting and turned to his son, ordering him, “Feng’er, apologize to Shanshan right now!”
“Dad! Why should I? I didn’t bully her! Master just told you!” Zhang Shaofeng was aggrieved. Grinding his teeth in resentment, he refused to yield.
Yun Jian had already admitted that she was the one who bullied Song Shanshan but there was no way Zhang Qishan was asking her to apologize to the latter.
At the same time, he wanted to mediate the situation, so he could only have his son apologize on behalf of his master. Shanshan was tolerant, surely she would let the matter go, he thought.
To Zhang Qishan, Song Shanshan and her cousins were guileless children. These kids lived in the village like how he did when he was young, meals were never a constant as they were poor.
Since Song Shanshan had brought others along to visit him, Zhang Qishan thought that he should host them properly.
“I bullied her, I’ll apologize,” Yun Jian spoke up suddenly.
“Eh? Master?” Zhang Shaofeng was befuddled.
Chen Xinyi and Ling Yichen were stupefied as well. From what they knew, Yun Jian had never apologized to anyone. Someone so dominant like her was going to apologize to Song Shanshan for Zhang Shaofeng?
Song Shanshan was startled too but she preened.
Zhang Qishan was also taken aback. Yun Jian was his son’s master and Song Shanshan was his distant relative. The person who was the most caught in the middle when both of them fought was actually him.
Asking Zhang Shaofeng to apologize to Song Shanshan was both to save Yun Jian from awkwardness and to appease Song Shanshan. It was just his son, Zhang Shaofeng, who had to suffer for it. It did not occur to him that Yun Jian would step out to apologize.
This was what the girl did, coming to Song Shanshan and pressing her rosy lips together, while the latter watched her in anticipation.
“I apologize for you insisting to take off my down jacket and trying to manhandle me by pouncing on me to grab my clothes when I refused just now,” Yun Jian said after a press of lips. f reewe bnovel
Zhang Shaofeng and others paused momentarily in a stupor at Yun Jian’s apology.
Hah, how was this an apology? Yun Jian was telling Zhang Qishan something—that she had only fought back because Song Shanshan wanted to get her hands on her clothes.
“What—what are you talking about? I didn’t!” Song Shanshan shouted in alarm, not expecting Yun Jian to recount what she did this way.
“Oh, have you forgotten?” Yun Jian’s smirk grew into an unsettling smile as she looked at Song Shanshan.
“Uncle, she... she... she—she’s making up nonsense! Nothing like that happened!” Song Shanshan explained frantically, panicking as her façade was being exposed in front of Zhang Qishan.
“My master’s down jacket is still with them! Song Shanshan’s the one who grappled master’s clothes just now and snatched it away!”
Thinking quickly, Zhang Shaofeng bit back instead when he saw someone standing behind Song Shanshan still holding on to Yun Jian’s down jacket.
“You—you’re making it up!” Song Shanshan lost her composure, shouting at Zhang Shaofeng in fright.
“Why don’t you tell us why’s my down jacket with you guys then?” With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Yun Jian’s smile was faint, but it left Song Shanshan speechless.
