Ferocious Boss: Hubby, Let’s Get Married
chapter-396

“Despite you being so nice, I was spiteful and I won’t do this again. Would you consider the fact that we’ve known each other for a long time, also… consider that my dad passed away when he was trying to rescue Old Mr. Su. Please forgive me once more?”

Mrs. Helan felt the pain on her face worsen like it was on fire after saying that. It was as if her wound was rubbed with chili noodles—pain, spicy, and hot… She had completely lost her face.

Looking at the mocking and taunting face of Yan Qingsi, the fire of anger and shame engulfed Mrs. Helan’s heart.

“Sister Qingsi, my mom wasn’t really going against you, really she wasn’t. She… She was just angry that both my brother and Brother Tingfeng are in love with you. Also, there were so many awful scandals of yours online, saying that you were a… a… mistress, a temptress, so she misunderstood you. My mom is actually an upright person. She was opposing you because of what she heard and saw online about you. Really sorry, I apologize to you on her behalf. It was partly my fault that I didn’t stop her. Sister Qingsi, I knew that you’re not someone like that, really sorry, very very sorry, please forgive us.”

Helan Xiuse bowed toward Yan Qingsi earnestly. What she said was convincing and it sounded like truth. Most importantly, her expressions, wordings, as well as her body language were remorseful. She was apologetic and sincere.

If what Helan Xiuse said was true, there were indeed valid grounds for Mrs. Helan to have hated her and be mean to her.

No mothers would have like Yan Qingsi before getting to know her—even Mrs. Yue used to shun her.

Yan Qingsi remembered that Mrs. Yue used to label her a saucy little minx.

Yan Qingsi stared down coldly without saying a word, she narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Helan Xiuse.

She was not sure if Helan Xiuse was telling the truth. It would be great if she was coming clean.

Otherwise, this young lady was truly… wily.

Not to mention how she could have fake it so well, even to have just thought of the reason was extraordinary. Definitely not something that someone could have come up with easily.

This lady, she could either be really naive or… terrifically crafty.

Helan Xiuse panicked that Yan Qingsi did not say anything, the tears rolled in her eyes. She called out to her brother quickly, “Brother, come to say something for mom. After all… she is our mom. You’ve rescued Sister Qingsi before, she might listen to you should you say something.”

A while later, Helan Fangnian that remained completely silent on the other side stood up. He stood in front of Yan Qingsi and said, “Qingsi, sorry. I apologize on behalf of my mom. Please forgive her.”

The most awkward and embarrassed person was actually Helan Fangnian, not Mrs. Helan.

Everyone could see that it was his mother that was finding fault. She had the ability to pick a fight, but she was incapable of winning the battle. She was defeated by merely a blow from Mrs. Yue.

On one hand, she was his beloved mother; on the other hand, that was the woman he loved and his best friend. What could he do?

Helan Fangnian wanted to leave, but could he?

That was his own mother, not anyone else, what could he do?

He could only be thick-skinned and beg Yan Qingsi to forgive his mother.

Yan Qingsi replied plainly, “Alright, I promise you. You saved me once and I have promised you that I would fulfill any favor from you as long as it’s not against my principles.”
