Xia Liyan looked really pitiful, almost saintly in her sincerity. Anyone watching would have found it hard not to forgive her on the spot.
"I know my actions are unforgivable," she continued, her voice breaking slightly. "But I still want to try… Please, let's start fresh."
The crowd murmured sympathetically.
"She seems so sincere…"
"Maybe she really has changed…"
"But if Xia Lihua outright refuses to forgive Xia Liyan then she is just being too harsh..."
"Yeah, then I will agree with Tang Mingze that she is being overdramatic."
"That's not fair. It's not overdramatic to stand up for yourself. It's called self-respect."
"True. Forgiving or not forgiving—it's Xia Lihua's choice and no one else's."
"I have no interest in starting anew with you, Xia Liyan. You don't deserve my forgiveness." Xia Lihua's words were straightforward and uncompromising.
Xia Liyan really had the nerve to pretend she was genuinely remorseful for her actions.
