Lu Guo's lips trembled. He bent down without caring much about his ego and said, "Mr. Ji, you're a magnanimous man. Please forgive Nuannuan. We are at fault this time..."
"Dad!" Lu Nuannuan widened her eyes in disbelief. She stood in the fountain drenched. She felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, all the way to the bottom of her heart. Why? Why was her father apologizing to the culprit who had bullied and humiliated her?
Mrs. Lu stopped her, "Nuannuan, stop it. Apologize to Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji properly. Listen to me!", she emphasized.
"No! Why should I apologize to her!" Lu Nuannuan's tears kept falling. She felt a mixed feelings of grievance and anger. She cried, "I will never apologize to her. I will never apologize to her!" As she said that, she climbed out of the fountain, grabbed her wet dress, and ran away.
