Chapter 256
Nie Jiqing glanced at Ye Zhi’s indifferent expression and said: “I am very sorry for what Sheng Man did to you.”
Nie Jiqing continued seriously: “To express my apologies, I would like to invite Miss Ye to my house today and let Sheng Man apologize to you in person.”
Hearing that Ye Zhi couldn’t help but be surprised. Nie Jiqing actually planned to make Sheng Man apologize to her?
After getting in the car, Ye Zhi looked at Nie Jiqing seriously for the first time. Nie Jiqing’s expression did not seem to be fake.
After being shocked, Ye Zhi immediately became alert and defensive. She calmed herself down and thought about Nie Jiqing’s true purpose behind it.
Ye Zhi pondered for a moment and said in a light tone: “Mrs. Nie, you should know my relationship with Sheng Man. She and I have always been at odds.”
Nie Jiqing nodded: “I know.”
Ye Zhi’s tone was neither cold nor warm: “Speaking of which, I have only met you a few times in total. We met for the first time at Sheng Man’s house.”
“We met for the second time that day outside of Sheng Man’s dressing room. And today… is our third meeting.”
“So our relationship is no different from strangers. You have no reason to help me over your daughter.”
Nie Jiqing felt slightly bad when she heard the word “strangers”.
“Today you took the initiative to invite me inside your car and also offered to have Sheng Man apologize to me in person. I can’t understand your reasoning.”
Ye Zhi didn’t try to sugarcoat her words or beat around the bush. Nie Jiqing was Sheng Man’s nominal mother so she was naturally wary and suspicious of her.
How could Nie Jiqing fail to hear the wariness in Ye Zhi’s words.
If someone else suspected her, Nie Jiqing would be somewhat dissatisfied, but since it was Ye Zhi, she only felt a little impatient along with sudden… sadness?
Nie Jiqing remained silent for a few seconds before saying: “I understand your feelings, Miss Ye. Sheng Man did something wrong, and as her mother, you have the right to suspect me.”
Nie Jiqing continued: “I know my daughter’s temper. She is arrogant and willful. I didn’t raise her well.”
“But if I know that she has done something wrong, I will definitely make her admit to her mistake. Before she does anything wrong, she must know the consequences.”
Ye Zhi stared at Nie Jiqing with some unknown emotions bubbling in her heart: “Mrs. Sheng, I questioned your intentions just now, are you not angry?”
Nie Jiqing shook her head: “If I were you, I would be more cautious.”
Nie Jiqing continued: “Miss Ye, I cancelled the contract between Zoe Chen and Sheng Man. I hope this shows my sincerity. You can put your guard down.”
In fact, Ye Zhi had also guessed that this incident was Nie Jiqing’s handiwork, but she wasn’t completely sure at that time.
After all, she spoiled Sheng Man a lot.
Nie Jiqing smiled: “Miss Ye has an outstanding temperament. I thought you were more suitable for the spokesperson role than Sheng Man.”
Nie Jiqing’s eyes flickered with a faint expectation that she even herself didn’t know about: “Miss Ye, are you willing to believe me now?”
After speaking, Nie Jiqing looked at Ye Zhi nervously.
In this almost flattering conversation, she almost put herself in a relatively low position.
As Sheng Man said, she had cancelled the endorsement, but she still insisted that Sheng Man apologizes to Ye Zhi in person.
She even invited Ye Zhi over to explain everything. She didn’t know why she was so tolerant of Ye Zhi.
She just said everything subconsciously and followed it.
Nie Jiqing thought that maybe she subconsciously wanted to give Ye Zhi justice, or maybe it was some other reason she didn’t know that drove her to do so.
Ye Zhi thought for a while and agreed, “I’ll go to Sheng Mansion with you.”
Nie Jiqing was relieved.
