Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Sincere Apology
Soon, a sincere look appeared in the old woman’s eyes.
"If possible, could you accompany me to Li Yanling’s house?"
"I also wish to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to her. I was truly in the wrong before, and I went too far. I have deeply realized my mistakes."
After she had said these words, how could Liu Zheng possibly refuse?
Without any hesitation, he nodded and agreed.
"Of course, that’s no problem at all, I can accompany you. I’m truly glad that you’re thinking this way now."
Seeing that Liu Zheng agreed, the old woman naturally felt very happy.
She had been genuinely anxious, afraid that Liu Zheng might not agree to her request.
For her, this was a matter that required a great deal of courage.
Before this, she had never imagined that she would one day recognize her own faults.
Thankfully, it was because of this person who came here and did such a thing.
Otherwise, she feared she might never have realized her excessive behavior in the past.
She quickly bought some gifts and then went with Liu Zheng to the doorstep of Li Yanling’s house.
At that moment, as she arrived at the doorstep, she felt a lack of courage and didn’t know how to knock on the door.
It was as if she was coming to terms with her past.
She also became aware of how terribly she had treated Li Yanling and her family.
Seeing the old woman’s restrained demeanor, Liu Zheng felt a bit unaccustomed, to be honest.
Before, the old woman had always been so fierce, and she had even quarreled quite a bit with him.
"Don’t worry, Yanling is a very good person, and no matter what, I hope the two of you can make up."
"You really misunderstood me and her before. We are just very good friends. Over these past days, I have indeed seen how hard it has been for her, and I hope she will have a better future."
After hearing these words, how could the old woman not understand all this?
Originally, she did not really understand what kind of person Liu Zheng was, so she held some misunderstandings toward him.
But now she realized how foolish and hateful she had been.
"Good child, thank you for being willing to give me a hand. I also know now what I should do."
With these words from Liu Zheng, she indeed felt much more courageous, and immediately raised her hand to gently knock on the door.
During this time, they had not been harassed by the old woman, and there weren’t many visitors to their home, apart from Liu Zheng.
So now they thought the person outside was Liu Zheng and opened the door without a second thought.
But when they saw who was outside, they were truly astonished and their eyes widened.
At this moment, Li Yanling stood as if she were glued to the spot, facing such a scene with sheer shock.
Not only that, she found Liu Zheng standing beside the old woman, which left her even more incredulous.
She looked at Liu Zheng, then at the old woman, opened her mouth, but in the end, could not utter a single word.
Facing such a situation, she really didn’t know what she should say.
Soon, Liu Zheng smiled and said to Li Yanling,
"It’s like this, she has something she wants to talk to you about and clear up."
The old woman showed an unprecedented look of guilt—perhaps because she truly felt very sorry.
When Li Yanling heard this, she immediately turned her gaze to the old woman.
Truthfully, she had been a bit unaccustomed to all this from the start and had been struggling internally over these many days.
It was indeed very hard for her to accept.
But now that the old woman had reappeared in front of her, she couldn’t just turn her away.
"Alright, come in."
And soon, the two of them entered.
Lying on the side was Xiao Kai who had been doing his homework.
When he saw the old woman appear again, his face turned very gloomy. He immediately went to Li Yanling and protectively stood in front of her.
"What are you doing here again? I warn you, no matter what, you cannot treat my mother like that anymore. Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"
When the old woman heard this, she immediately nodded and said,
"Xiao Kai, I know I was wrong. I was too harsh on your mother before. I came here today specifically to apologize and I hope you can give me this chance."
When Xiao Kai and Li Yanling heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief, hardly able to trust what they were hearing.
They had never imagined that the old woman would one day truly recognize her own faults.
The old woman immediately placed the things she had brought on the table.
"This is a token of my sincerity. No matter what, I hope you will hear me out."
Soon after, Li Yanling, pulling Xiao Kai to her side, said,
"Go ahead."
After hearing this, the person in front of them continued to speak.
"Before, I truly did not realize my mistakes, nor did I understand the harm I had caused you. But now I have finally come to realize it, and I hope you can forgive me."
"I was really too much before, even though you had been good to me. Still, I was ungrateful, only taking without giving back. I was truly terrible."
"All of this was really thanks to Liu Zheng. If it hadn’t been for him, I might be dead, and I might not have had the chance to stand in front of you and come to this realization."
After hearing this, Xiao Kai and Li Yanling looked confused, not understanding what this had to do with Liu Zheng.
Thus their gaze couldn’t help but fall on Liu Zheng.
When Liu Zheng heard this, he just gave a slight smile, shrugged his shoulders lightly, and said,
"It’s nothing, really nothing."
And soon, the old woman continued to speak.
