章 289: Chapter Two-Hundred and Eighty-Nine: Making Overtures

Before Gu Man could speak, Lin Yu had already stood up and kneeled before Chang Hui, saying, "Auntie, Xi Cheng lost his conduct after he got drunk and mistook Gu Man for me. He got handsy with Gu Man, and a-almost—almost... Fortunately, the maids found out in time and stopped him from making a big mistake."

"My mother-in-law has already given Xi Cheng a beating, and I volunteered to come here to apologize on behalf of Xi Cheng and the Xi family. We're besties; I can't let the Xi family come to apologize themselves because if that happens, it'll be difficult for our families to work together in the future."

Lin Yu continued, "If the Gu family loses this opportunity, Gu Man's sisters and cousins will definitely blame her. I fear that she'll suffer more grievances, so I came today. Auntie, Gu Man always says you dote on her the most, so please don't blame her. It's my fault; I didn't take good care of Xi Cheng, resulting in him making a mistake."
