A simple apology, what can it solve?

Pan Xinran was adamant that she left the ring on the washbasin.

Surveillance showed Pan Xinran entering the restroom wearing the ring, and exiting without it.

In just a few seconds, only she and Zhi Foliu were in the restroom.

From the surveillance footage, it seemed that they took the ring.

Even the police were about to search them, making them the only suspects of stealing the ring.

Just like people were discussing earlier, fortunately, they had the means and background, and coupled with Gu Junzhu’s cleverness, they found the ring and cleared their names.

If today it wasn’t them and Zhi Foliu, but two girls from ordinary families with no background, how terrified and helpless would they be?

Moreover, today they were slightly lucky, the ring merely fell in the restroom. What if it slipped off Pan Xinran’s hand while washing and got washed down the drain?

If that were the case, even they would need to spend a lot of time and energy to prove their innocence.

Kids from ordinary backgrounds would have no way to prove their innocence at all.

She looked at Li Qi, speaking softly, "I know, you’re easygoing and don’t take things to heart, but I hope you understand, it’s tough for many people in this world..."

"Sometimes, something very small to you might ruin their entire life."

"When something happens, you don’t help others, that’s your choice, no one can blame you, but if you can, at the very least, please don’t tolerate wrongdoing."

Ye Xingbei’s words pierced Li Qi’s heart like a knife.

Li Qi’s handsome face gradually turned pale.

"I..." he wanted to say, he didn’t.

He didn’t want Ye Xingbei to see him as such a poor figure in her mind.

But those simple words, he couldn’t say them.

Didn’t he?

No.

He did.

Pan Xinran acted arrogantly.

Because recently she had been close to him, thinking she had his support, Pan Xinran acted so arrogantly.

Pan Xinran even called him to back her up; didn’t he come as well?

If the confrontation wasn’t with Zhi Foliu and Ye Xingbei, but with two girls he didn’t know, what would he have done?

He didn’t know.

And the answer was no longer important.

Because Ye Xingbei had already concluded that he was there to back up Pan Xinran.

That he would help Pan Xinran to oppress others.

"I’m sorry..."

He couldn’t say he didn’t do it.

He could only say, I’m sorry.

He gave a deep bow to Zhi Foliu and Ye Xingbei, "I’m very sorry."

A moment later, he stood up, looked at Ye Xingbei, and seriously said, "Beibei, I’ll remember your words, rest assured, there won’t be a next time."

Ye Xingbei smiled, "That’s good."

Her life experience told her that good people are rewarded, and bad people usually don’t end well.

She hoped that even if Li Qi couldn’t be a good person, at least he wouldn’t be a bad person.

Living freely and carefreely is his right.

But he doesn’t have the right to harm innocent people, to build his happiness and comfort on others’ pain.

Ye Xingbei smiled at Li Qi, "We haven’t had dinner yet, want to join us?"

Li Qi glanced at Ye Xingli and Zhi Foliu: "No, you guys enjoy, today I’m treating, make sure you don’t refuse."

Ye Xingbei knew he felt bad about it and also knew he wasn’t short of money, so she didn’t hold back, smiled gracefully, and teased, "Alright, we’ve ordered quite a few dishes, and they’re all expensive, don’t feel pained."
