Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Not to Be Underestimated

It’s purely because they didn’t know it was Liu Sixu who covered things up.

Now that he found out, he came to apologize immediately, showing sincerity.

This shows his emphasis on the Zhao Family and Ye Fei.

Ye Fei said "Oh" to indicate understanding.

Liu Pingyuan pulled Liu Sixu over and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Zhao!"

Liu Sixu’s face turned red. That night, in front of so many people, he begged Zhao Gushen, pleading with Ye Fei to speak well of him.

He almost begged to the point of humiliation.

Now, he had to apologize again in front of so many employees at Changping.

Liu Sixu felt utterly embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Fei seemingly amused by his predicament made Liu Sixu feel even more difficult.

Then, Liu Sixu consoled himself.

No matter what, it wouldn’t be more embarrassing than that night at the party, at least now he was just confessing his mistake to Ye Fei without having to kneel.

So, Liu Sixu kept his head down, embarrassed to look up and make eye contact for fear of those who were there for the drama.

Thinking that not seeing meant it didn’t exist.

He muttered as though hiding his head like an ostrich, "Ye... Ye Fei..."

"What’s that?" Liu Pingyuan interrupted harshly before Ye Fei could say anything, "Call her Mrs. Zhao!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Liu Sixu hurriedly corrected himself, "Zhao... Mrs. Zhao, I was impolite to you, it’s because I was arrogant. After the things you said that night, I thought it over and realized I was wrong. No matter who it involves, it shouldn’t be like that, even if it’s someone other than you, I shouldn’t behave that way."

"After you mentioned it last time, I felt you were absolutely right. I have already decided not to repeat such mistakes in the future and to behave well." Liu Sixu was somewhat smart, he didn’t mention what exactly his mistake was.

Regarding how he was disrespectful to Ye Fei.

So much so that Manager He and Changping’s employees were all stunned.

Yet they speculated in their hearts; Ye Fei was good-looking, and Liu Sixu had a reputation for being lustful, perhaps he fancied Ye Fei, why else would Zhao Gushen be so mad?

But as long as Liu Sixu didn’t specifically mention it, they couldn’t grasp his weakness.

Ye Fei wouldn’t suffer any damage to her reputation either because of this.

No matter whether Liu Sixu thought of this, he was finally smart about it this time.

Liu Sixu meekly told Ye Fei, "Ye... Mrs. Zhao, can you forgive me this time? I assure you, such a situation will never happen again! It won’t happen again with anyone; I will change my ways and behave!"

Ye Fei didn’t care if he was being honest.

Even if Liu Sixu was just placating her, speaking nicely now, she couldn’t prove it, nor could she constantly monitor Liu Sixu.

And act as Liu Sixu’s redeeming service provider?

Anyway, whether Liu Sixu changes doesn’t concern her; it’s the Liu family who has the headache.

If Liu Sixu doesn’t change and causes greater trouble later, it will be the Liu family who suffers.

Whether to supervise him is the concern of Liu Pingyuan and Mrs. Liu; if they don’t supervise him, outsiders naturally wouldn’t interfere.

Anyway, the parents themselves are not worried, why should outsiders be?

Ye Fei said casually, "Alright, I forgive you."

Liu Pingyuan was ecstatic, and Liu Sixu looked at Ye Fei in astonishment.

He hadn’t expected the matter to be resolved so easily.

He apologized in just a few words, and the matter was settled.

Ye Fei easily forgave him, and there would be no further trouble for their family.

Liu Sixu was incredibly surprised, thinking to himself that on that night, he seemed to humiliate himself to such an extent, yet Ye Fei didn’t relent.

Today, she relented just like that, could it be that simple?

Could it be because they were at Changping, with many Changping employees around, that Ye Fei was maintaining her image and that’s why she said so?

She was, after all, the president’s wife of Changping, so she needed to maintain her image in front of her employees.

Unlike that night, she couldn’t be as aggressive.

No wonder she agreed readily.

Anyway, it was good this way; at least the danger for their family was lifted.

Even Liu Pingyuan thought the same.

Liu Pingyuan rejoiced, "You forgave us, so is our company safe now?"

Ye Fei was surprised and asked, "What happened to your company?"

Liu Pingyuan thought he had already mentioned it to Ye Fei just now.

But now, Ye Fei seemed to have forgotten.

Seeing Ye Fei seemed like she genuinely didn’t know, he couldn’t tell if she’d really forgotten or was feigning ignorance.

So he whispered, "Because this lad was disrespectful and rude to you, President Zhao got angry and took it out on our company. Mrs. Zhao, if you forgive this lad and no longer angry, could you... have President Zhao forgive us as well, and not act against our company."

Ye Fei seemed even more surprised at that moment, "Really? What does Gu Shen’s business conflict with you have to do with me?"

Liu Pingyuan was stunned, wondering what Ye Fei meant by that.

He heard Ye Fei say, "Liu Sixu was disrespectful to me, and now you have sincerely come to apologize, I’ve forgiven you for it. If I hadn’t forgiven you, you would keep coming to the company, and even come to our home; what would that be all about?"

Liu Pingyuan realized Ye Fei’s words made it seem like they were forcing her to forgive them.

If Ye Fei didn’t forgive them today, they would continue to visit and pester her for forgiveness.

That wouldn’t be seeking forgiveness anymore, it’d be coercion.

Then he heard Ye Fei continue to say, "Regarding personal matters, my forgiveness of you is my own business. I don’t know why Gu Shen would deal with your company, but I assume it’s due to business competition between you. Such business matters are not for me to intervene in or speak about."

"Besides, I don’t understand this stuff, coming to me won’t help," Ye Fei said matter-of-factly.

It was like their company facing challenges had nothing to do with her.

Ye Fei was really adept at distancing herself!

Liu Pingyuan couldn’t help but take a more serious look at Ye Fei.

Thinking to himself that perhaps he had underestimated Ye Fei.

She was an ordinary girl with no background, yet she managed to marry into the Zhao Family.

And she didn’t marry just anyone, she married Zhao Gushen, the heir of the Zhao Family.

Yet Zhao Gushen previously had no dating history, no scandal, and no girlfriends.

This straight-laced man ended up with Ye Fei, could Ye Fei be anyone without means?

Not even knowing what means Ye Fei used to succeed.

But just from the fact that nobody before succeeded, yet Ye Fei did, is enough to prove that she shouldn’t be underestimated.
