“If you’re not up to it, then forget about the apology. I’ll get someone to send you back to England,” Bao Junyan said as he looked toward Huo Yuqi.

“I can do it, I know I was in the wrong! I will make a public apology!” Huo Yuqi suddenly felt the indignity of having to make a public apology, given her own status. However, she knew that her cousin was a person who meant what he said, and he would not hesitate to send her back to England right away!

It was difficult enough to have convinced her mother to allow her to return and to stay at her cousin’s. It not only meant that she would be able to see Long Feilei often, but she could also be of help to her Sister Ling Wei. If she got sent away, all her past efforts would have gone to waste!

It was just a word of apology, no big deal!

Seeing that she was obedient, Bao Junyan’s expression softened and he said, “From now on, be obedient, and don’t create trouble for your sister-in-law.”

“I understand.” Huo Yuqi lowered her head, her expression indignant.

Noting that her normally obstinate daughter had accepted the punishment, Meng Yueying did not speak further. But through this episode, she realized that perhaps Bao Junyan cared about his little wife more than her father thought.

It looked like she had to give Ling Wei a helping hand too. Otherwise, the situation could turn out dire.

Although Huo Li had tried to hide it from his mother that he had been beaten up by Bao Junyan, Meng Yueying somehow had come to know about it. Firstly, her son had been beaten up because of Mu Huan, and now, her daughter had to make a public apology because of Mu Huan, again. Hence, even though the girl looked alright, Meng Yueying could not bring herself to like her.

On top of this, Ling Wei was the daughter of her close friend and she had watched the girl grow up through the years. So, naturally, she was inclined toward Ling Wei and was all for the girl to get together with Bao Junyan.

After Meng Yueying hung up the video call with Bao Junyan, she dialed Ling Wei’s number.

At this point, because Bao Junyan had some important work matter to attend to, he said a few more words to the two of them and then headed up to the study.

As soon as he had gone upstairs, Huo Yuqi immediately went back to her arrogant and contemptuous attitude.

Mu Huan glanced at her and, without another word, got onto her feet and started to walk away.

“Mu Huan, don’t you be too smug. One day, you’ll regret provoking me!” Huo Yuqi had stepped into her path to stop her as she said that.

“I am not being smug and had never intended to provoke you. You are Bao Junyan’s cousin. He dotes on you, and I wish to do that too and treat you like family.” It was the girl who disliked her and kept stirring trouble!

“Treat me like family? With your background, do you think you’re good enough?!” Huo Yuqi said disdainfully.

Mu Huan grimaced slightly, feeling that it was really useless being nice to her. “Alright, I’m not good enough. I’m leaving now and won’t stick around to be an eyesore to you, okay?”

Then she walked around Huo Yuqi to head upstairs.

After taking a few steps, she thought of something and halted. She turned around and looked toward Huo Yuqi, saying, “If you wish to stir trouble again, come at me, but don’t you dare touch my friends again! Take what happened today, when you accused me of stealing from you. I hope you understand why I had refrained from obtaining security footage, much less demanded a public apology?”

Mu Huan wanted Huo Yuqi to know that even though the girl had made these attacks, she had tolerated her and spared her from the embarrassment because she was Bao Junyan’s cousin. However, if she attacked her friends, then she was not going to put up with it one bit!

“If I attack you directly, my cousin is not going to tolerate it! Last time, my brother had only asked that whatever professor to include your name on the list and he had been beaten up so badly!” Huo Yuqi understood what Mu Huan meant, and wouldn’t she have preferred to attack Mu Huan directly too? But she’d have to have the guts to do it!
