Chapter 1220 Apologizing in Person
Upon learning that Shen Yuan and Bo Qing were getting married, Jiang Manman immediately booked a plane ticket for the following weekend.
At this point, summer vacation would be almost over, and I could talk to the company and ask to suspend my internship.
If the Huo family still wants her, she can continue to come during the summer vacation.
Jiang Manman went to talk to General Manager Fang about this, and General Manager Fang said, "Of course you should come. I highly recognize your abilities and look forward to your mutual success with the company."
Jiang Manman was happy to receive the approval and went home happily after get off work.
only……
The atmosphere at home didn't seem very good. Liang Chen was there, along with his parents.
Jiang Manman walked in and politely greeted, "Uncle, Aunt, you're here too."
Upon seeing Jiang Manman, Liang's mother stood up: "Manman, you're off work? Are you tired? Haven't you eaten yet?"
Jiang Manman shook her head: "All jobs are the same, there's no such thing as being tired or not, everyone is working."
She must be tired, but she's not special.
"Manman, we brought Liang Chen here today to apologize to you. Xiao Chen, come here quickly."
Jiang's parents already knew what had happened, but Jiang Manman hadn't mentioned it when she came back.
That brat Liang Chen actually teamed up with others to bully their Manman.
I never imagined that the person I've watched grow up would turn out like this.
The reason they came to apologize today is actually more because Huo Yanchen put pressure on them.
Liang Chen walked over, looked at Jiang Manman, and said, "I'm sorry."
Liang's mother chimed in, "It's just a little squabble between the kids. Manman, you and Liang Chen are such good friends, you must know he didn't mean it, right? It was Liang Chen's fault for not protecting you properly. Don't worry, it will never happen again. He was just drunk and didn't realize what was going on. Liang Chen loves Manman the most, right?"
Liang's mother hoped that the Jiang family would not take it to heart and tried her best to act as a peacemaker.
But Liang Chen didn't dare to look Jiang Manman in the eye. Actually, he was a little annoyed. He hadn't done anything, so why should he have to come and apologize?
Luo Jing is right, Jiang Manman's personality is too much like a little princess, she needs to be pampered.
But he was also tired; he had a lot of work and didn't have time to comfort her.
Luo Jing said that Jiang Manman was stringing him along, enjoying his kindness while rejecting him at the same time. When he was aloof, she would offer him a sweet treat and show weakness in front of him so that he would continue to fawn over her.
Liang Chen thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.
He was tired too.
Jiang Manman said, "I didn't take this to heart, but that doesn't mean I'll pretend it never happened. Even though you didn't say those things, you tacitly agreed, didn't you? So Liang Chen, you should leave. I don't want to see you."
Upon hearing Jiang Manman's words, Liang Chen immediately became angry: "Jiang Manman, do you still think you're some little princess who needs everyone to pamper you? I've already apologized to you, what more do you want? I didn't do anything to you, did I? Why are you so determined to hold this against me? My dad made me kneel all night, my knees are swollen, isn't that enough?"
When Liang Chen lost his temper, the Jiang family members' expressions changed.
Jiang Manman is usually the most sensible girl. They would never say a harsh word to their daughter, but now she was yelled at by a complete stranger.
Jiang's father's tone also turned serious: "What does your Liang family mean by this? You said you made a mistake and asked Manman to apologize, but I don't see any remorse at all. Instead, you blame Manman for being too much of a princess? We didn't ask anyone to coax our Manman. And is this what you call coaxing?"
Jiang Manman also said, "You said it yourself that your dad made you kneel. If you're unhappy, you should take it out on your dad, not me. I've never asked you to apologize. Didn't you come to my house on your own? You showed up out of nowhere, said you wanted to apologize out of nowhere, and then took your anger out on me out of nowhere. What did I do to you?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm a little tired after a long day at work, so I'm going to my room now."
Jiang Manman was truly exhausted. Liang Chen's relentless pursuit had put a lot of pressure on her before, but now Liang Chen seemed like a completely different person, making Jiang Manman even less willing to see him.
Jiang Manman went upstairs, and the Jiang family members didn't look too good either. Jiang's father said, "Old Liang, you should go back first. It's normal for children to have their own thoughts as they grow up, but it's not good if they take out their frustrations on others. They don't owe you anything. If you're not really coming back, then don't come again."
Although we are all neighbors, my own daughter is still more important.
Despite decades of friendship with the Liang family, I can't let my daughter suffer.
It was the Liang family's fault to begin with, so why should the Jiang family be expected to be magnanimous?
Mr. Liang said, “Old Jiang, I’ll definitely teach my unfilial son a lesson when I get back, but you see, our two families have known each other for so long, and you’ve watched Xiao Chen grow up. He really didn’t mean it that way. I guess he’s just under a lot of pressure from the projects lately. I promise you a satisfactory result.”
"But Lao Jiang, the children's conflict can't affect the relationship between our two families. We must continue to cooperate where we should. And as for President Huo, there must be some misunderstanding. Lao Jiang, could you put in a good word for me with President Huo?"
With a forced smile, Liang's father finally grabbed Liang Chen and said, "Get back home now! How could I have raised such a rebellious son!"
After the Liang family left, Jiang Manman came downstairs and said, "They've all left, right?"
"They left. I thought they were genuinely here to apologize. I never expected Liang Chen to turn out like this." Jiang's mother found it all outrageous.
Jiang Manman said, "I don't know. Maybe this is just a person's nature, or maybe they are influenced by their environment."
"Manman, are you not angry?" Jiang's mother asked worriedly.
Jiang Manman said, "Why should I be angry? They're all strangers anyway. If I were angry, I'd be driven crazy with all the work I have to do every day. But Dad, you should have reminded Uncle Liang about that project I asked you to remind him about last time, right?"
“I did remind him, but he said after the inspection it looked alright and he planned to let Liang Chen give it a try.”
Jiang Manman nodded: "It's enough that you've given us a reminder. What happens after that is none of our business. We've already done everything we could."
"Mom, I'm so hungry, when is dinner?" Jiang Manman rubbed her stomach.
"Dinner is ready now, come on over."
"Ok!"
During dinner, Jiang Manman said, "Mom, I think Liang Chen has changed a lot recently. I don't like his personality. I've never asked him to do anything, but he always thinks that since he's good to me, I should reciprocate. But I don't like him. Although our two families have known each other for many years, if we can reduce our contact in the future, let's do so."
She always felt that having too much contact with the Liang family was not a good thing, and that their purpose in coming today was probably not so simple.
