Chapter 253:1 do not accept the apology
Translator: _Min_
Sheng Xin looked at Sheng Wen in disbelief. “Apologize to Gu Dai? Never, not in this lifetime!”
She had already been ridiculed by Gu Dai; apologizing now would only make her the subject of further mockery.
Furious, Sheng Wen nodded vigorously, “Fine! Since you refuse to apologize, I’ll freeze your cards right now. From now on, you’re no longer part of the Sheng family!”
Sheng Xin was dumbfounded. She thought being hit was the worst punishment she could get from Sheng Wen, but now she was facing a frozen bank account and being disowned.
Sheng Xin exclaimed, “Dad, I’m your biological daughter!”
Sheng Wen pointed at Sheng Xin, angrily saying, “It’s because you’re my daughter that I’m letting you off this easily.”
He had been busy for two years trying to get Meng Chuan to star in a film. Just when Meng Chuan agreed, Sheng Xin ruined it, along with the opportunity to double the company’s value.
Collapsing into a chair, Sheng Xin quickly grabbed Sheng Wen’s clothes, crying, “Dad, don’t kick me out. I’ll apologize, I’m willing to apologize!”
Sheng Wen took a deep breath. After all, Sheng Xin was his beloved daughter, and he didn’t want to send her away.
He scolded her, “Hurry up and apologize!”
Sheng Xin, after being reprimanded by Sheng Wen, begrudgingly turned towards Meng Chuan. With evident reluctance, she muttered an apology, “Sorry.”
As soon as she finished, Sheng Wen slapped her back.
He angrily asked, “Have you ever seen someone apologize standing so straight? And with such a low voice, who are you speaking to?”
Sheng Xin, feeling utterly humiliated but not wanting to be disowned, was forced to bow, lowering her proud head and shouting, “I’m sorry!”
Satisfied, Sheng Wen turned to Meng Chuan with a smile, “Sheng Xin is immature. Please don’t hold it against her. We did wrong this time. Our company is willing to make concessions in our cooperation, hoping you won’t cancel it. Please give us another chance.”
Meng Chuan’s eyes were icy. “Her actions can’t be resolved with just an apology.”
Rejected, Sheng Wen didn’t look the best, but his daughter had been the one to do wrong first.
Meng Chuan added, “And she’s offended more than just me.”
Realizing Meng Chuan was referring to Gu Dai, Sheng Wen quickly pulled Sheng Xin, ordering, “Apologize to this lady now!”
Sheng Xin bit her lip, feeling extremely wronged. She looked up, hoping for someone to save her.
Wang Lan, not wanting to interfere in another family’s affairs and also wary of Sheng Wen, turned her head away.
President Song’s entire focus was riveted on Gu Dai. At that moment, he was watching her from the corner of his eye, completely oblivious to the gaze that Sheng Xin directed at him.
Seeing this, a surge of resentment bubbled up within Sheng Xin. To avoid a future full of wealth and comfort, she had no choice but to lower her head and mutter, “I’m sorry…”
Gu Dai, arms crossed, said indifferently, “I don’t accept your apology. And if it’s too hard for you, don’t bother. Regardless of how you apologize, I won’t forgive you.”
Sheng Wen, whose thoughts had been on disciplining Sheng Xin, now realized Gu Dai’s commanding presence.
Gu Dai’s gaze was frosty, her attire discreet yet commanding. Dressed in a simple business suit, she exuded an aura of authority, as if she were wearing a queen’s robes.
Sheng Wen, who had encountered numerous individuals in his professional life and always managed to handle them with ease, found himself unnerved by Gu Dai. Her presence sent a chill through him, causing his heart to flutter.
That such a young lady could emit such an icy demeanor was extraordinary. It was no wonder, for anyone who could associate with Meng Chuan must be exceptional.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Wen forced a smile and said, “Everyone makes mistakes. 1 hope you can give us another chance. Cooperation is mutually beneficial, and it’s unwise to let personal grudges lead to significant losses…”
Hearing Sheng Wen’s words, Gu Dai began to hesitate.
Meng Chuan placed his hand on Gu Dai’s shoulder, patting it lightly. Smiling, he said, “I don’t care about this cooperation. Daidai, feel free to refuse without feeling pressured.”
Relieved, Gu Dai responded, “Okay.”
She turned to look at Sheng Wen and said calmly, “I do not accept the apology.”
Sheng Wen glared fiercely at Sheng Xin, realizing that the prospect of continuing the collaboration was now doomed..
