Mu Chuqing smiled as she finally stood up.
"You're right. A mistake is a mistake!"
It seemed like she had misunderstood. How naive was she to think that Sheng Zhengyu wanted to plead on behalf of his son?
How could she forget the incident that everyone has silently admitted and accepted?
Everyone thought she had killed Chang Chu's baby, Sheng Zhengyu's grandson.
But she was not at fault!
She had no obligation to continue this topic.
"Goodnight!"
Mu Chuqing walked towards the door.
"The mistakes that have not been amended could only be forgiven. Girl, nobody lives without making mistakes, you have to learn how to forgive."
Sheng Zhengyu sipped the tea from his teacup, looking up to see Mu Chuqing turning back.
"You want me to… forgive Sheng Yuchen?"
Sheng Zhengyu lowered his head, not saying anything.
It all seemed a bit rushed, Mu Chuqing did not expect Sheng Zhengyu to be…
But what is the point of forgiving him?
"Sorry, I've forgiven him numerous times. He has expended what remnants of feelings I had for him. I can't find any reason to forgive him. Moreover, it's not important now whether I forgive him or not."
"Don't let the tea stay in your mouth forever. Swallow it and swallow the bitterness. Give yourself a chance. Girl, think about who made you this strong woman that you are, the insults that you suffered. Stop deceiving yourself. The only thing I like about Chang Chu is that she knows how to fight for what she wants!"
Bitterness spread in Mu Chuqing's heart. How could that be fighting for what she wanted? That was called snatching someone else's belongings.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Sheng Zhengyu smiled and shook his head. "For the things that I can never teach Sheng Yuchen, it's the same that I teach them to you. You're his closest person, teach him for me!"
Mu Chuqing frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
What was going on? After speaking so much, it seemed that he was only teaching her how to forgive others. And he wanted her to teach Sheng Yuchen how to forgive her.
That was unnecessary!
After beating around the bush, at last, he wanted her to apologize to Sheng Yuchen first?
On what basis?
"Uncle Sheng, I think you've not understood yet. The closest person to him is the woman who has successfully won him after much struggle, not me. I'm sure she knows how to forgive…"
"Sheng Family's daughter-in-law has always been you…"
Sheng Zhengyu gave her a meaningful smile.
Mu Chuqing's body tensed up, she seemed to understand something as she widened her eyes.
"T-they are getting engaged soon!"
"That's not against the law, girl."
"…"
Mu Chuqing could not summon any words.
She walked out of Sheng Zhengyu's room, her feelings in chaos when Sheng Yuchen's slender figure suddenly came into view.
Brows furrowed, eyes darkened and gloomy.
"Why? You this maniac!"
Mu Chuqing gritted her teeth. Her beautiful face was tense, and her eyes full of hatred.
He lowered his gaze, his usually cold gaze becoming complicated. One could not grapple his emotions. Suddenly, his lips curled up, and then it was gone in an instant.
Mu Chuqing broke eye contact and reached out to hold her forehead.
What was she thinking?
He might have just forgotten!
Mu Chuqing's body was still weak, Sheng Yuchen stepped forward and grabbed her wrist…
