Chapter 69 Admitting Mistakes

  "What kind of person is he and what's your relationship with him? You can't even handle your own affairs, yet you have the leisure to interfere in others' business?" Fang Zixuan looked at him coldly, "Apologize!"

  Fang Zipeng hesitated and refused to apologize, while Fu Zichong on the side was a proud one, "I don't care about his apology! I'm not some kind of wild species anyway..."

  "Fu Zichong, I'm sorry!" Fang Zixuan walked up to him and suddenly bowed at a standard 90-degree angle. "I formally apologize for Fang Zipeng's behavior towards you, it was my fault for not teaching him properly."

  She used to be discriminated against and bullied because of her poor family background, just like him. After she changed her status, Fang Zikai, whom she was in charge of, inflicted such suffering on others, which is no different from being violent herself.

  Fu Zichong was stunned, momentarily unsure of how to react. This kind of grand gesture he had only seen in Japanese TV dramas, who would have thought that someone in real life would display such a submissive attitude? He turned to Zheng Laoshi beside him with pleading eyes.

  Teacher Zheng also looked embarrassed, but still came out to mediate, "Classmates should love each other, Zi Chong, since Fang Zikai's sister apologized to you, just accept it."

  Fu Zichong apologized to me several times, from a young age, he was ridiculed and humiliated by others because of his birth, but no one had ever apologized to him so solemnly, after all, he was still somewhat at a loss.

  Fang Zikong watched from the side, feeling ashamed and wanting to go forward to help her up. However, as soon as he touched her hand, she coldly withdrew it and stood up straight without even looking at him.

  He stared at her blankly, his heart aching with sorrow. A thousand grievances and hardships surged up in his mind - had the normally aloof Fang Zixuan ever lowered her head for anyone before?

  She always seemed aloof and indifferent to everything, yet she endured her father's severe scolding for her own sake, and apologized to others for her own mistakes. A sense of inexpressible shame rose from the bottom of her heart. From childhood to adulthood, every time he made a mistake or caused trouble, it was his mother who forced him to apologize with an air of superiority, no matter how excessive he was. But today, although he still didn't apologize, his sister took the blame for him instead.

  Fang Xinlan looked on with concern, her eyes darting back and forth. "Sister, Zi Peng has been so seriously injured. And since Dad and Mom are not in the country, we should inform Grandpa and Grandma as soon as possible."

  It's better to give the two old men a deeper impression. Fang Zipeng will always be an incompetent person who can't be helped, fighting everywhere and causing trouble.

  She had just opened her mouth. Mr. Zheng was somewhat flustered, if he startled the Fang family, let alone Fu Zichong, even he would not be able to escape responsibility.

  "The doctor has just examined them, and they are all right, just some minor injuries, they will be fine after a rest. I think it's not necessary to disturb the two elderly people." Although he looked down on the few children, as soon as they mentioned Old Master Fang and Madame Fang, he immediately softened up, no match for their wealth and power, he was just a poor teacher after all, his dignity couldn't fill his stomach.

  "We will take responsibility for Fu's medical expenses and other related costs due to Fang Zikun's improper words and actions, which caused harm to Fu. Teacher Zheng, please forgive me for speaking directly, if the school had fulfilled its duty of care, Fu and Fang would not have been injured. If they encounter any problems later on, the school will still need to take corresponding responsibility. What do you think? Is this solution acceptable?"

  "That's right, that's right." At this time, even if he was a young teacher who was upright and unyielding, he didn't dare to offend Fang's family. If Fang's family really wanted to pursue the matter, he would be the first person responsible. Originally, he thought it was Zhang Yun who came, and he had already made preparations to compromise and apologize. Later, when he saw that it was Fang Zixuan, he felt a bit dismissive in his heart. However, if they really brought out Fang's family, he could only put aside his pride.

  "Hmph, how dare you deceive me!" Looking at the figure of Fang Zi Xuan's sister and brother leaving, Fu Zi Chong had a gloomy face, his words full of disdain.

  Principal Zheng sighed, "These days, students are really hard to manage. Fu Zichong is one of my favorite students, and I also sympathize with his difficult family situation. However, his impulsive temper is really a headache. If he gets into some big trouble one day, I'm afraid even I won't be able to protect him."

  "Zi Chong, how are you?" A middle-aged woman rushed in and burst into tears upon seeing Fu Zi Chong's appearance, hugging her as if she was a precious treasure.

  This middle-aged beautiful woman, although dressed very plainly, with a face etched with the marks of hardship, could not hide her elegant demeanor. Her pale skin and jet-black eyebrows and eyes left even young male teacher Zheng momentarily stunned.

  "Mom, I'm fine." The little boy who had a gloomy face just now showed a sunny smile and softly comforted his mother.

  On the way back, Fang Zixuan kept looking out of the window without saying a word, and didn't even give Fang Zipeng a straight look.

  "Sister, are you angry?" Fang Zipeng finally couldn't bear it and gently grasped her sleeve.

  She didn't even glance at him and ruthlessly pulled her sleeve out of his hand.

  "Zi Peng, does your injury still hurt?" Seeing Zi Peng's dejected face, Fang Xinlan asked softly and timely.

  The weasel wished the chicken a happy new year, but didn't have good intentions! He gave her a white eye, huffed and turned his head away, completely ignoring her.

  Fang Xinlan didn't get annoyed, but instead smiled warmly and gently, just like a harmless little white flower.

  "Sister, don't be angry, I know I was wrong." After getting off the car, Fang Zipeng still followed her, putting aside his pride for the first time, and humbly apologized.

  "Do you know where you went wrong?" Fang Zixuan finally turned her head to look at him, but her expression remained cold and stern.

  Fang Zikong was initially delighted, but then hesitated, "I shouldn't have fought."

  "Is that all?" Her eyes were no longer as calm as they used to be, with a hint of undercurrents surging beneath, "What does someone else's family background have to do with you? Why do you always like to gossip with those distant relatives? What good does it do for you to say such things? Even if Fu Zichong's family background has something wrong with it, that's not his fault. On what grounds do you judge him based on his parents?"

  "I just hate bastards! They're all the children of mistresses, their mothers are shameless and have no integrity! They ruin other people's families! Disgusting! Shameless! Being despicable is also hereditary!……" Fang Zikai shouted angrily, his fierce gaze fixed on Fang Xinlan standing beside him. He didn't want to admit that it was because of his hatred for Fang Xinlan that he was taking out his anger on Fu Zichong, and he had been feeling suppressed for a while, always wanting to find an outlet to vent his emotions.

  If it wasn't for Fang Xinlan noticing Fu Zichong sitting in the corner while playing with his classmates that afternoon, he wouldn't have known about him. Although no one knew his true identity, everyone was saying that he was an illegitimate child, and all these years, only his mother had been seen accompanying him, never any other relatives.

  Some people say that his mother seduced other people's husbands, got pregnant and was kicked out of the house. The man didn't take responsibility either. In the end, the mother and son drifted to J City. Although they were thousands of miles away from home, the ugly affair still spread out.

  Fu Zichong was introverted and although his grades were not bad, he had no friends in class. Everyone thought he was gloomy and came from a humble background, so no one wanted to take the initiative to talk to him, and he never took the initiative to contact anyone either.

  Fang Zikong looked down on him because of his identity, and was too lazy to bother with him. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of Fang Xinlan, their mothers were all mistresses, equally shameless, a surge of evil fire rose up.

  "Fu Zichong, you son of a bitch, just like your mother, neither of you are any good!" He felt a thrill in speaking ill of Fang Xinlan, something he didn't dare to do at home when Fang Zixuan was around.

  Fu Zichong was stunned, not knowing why Fang Zipeng suddenly rushed in front of him and scolded him loudly. Before he could react, Fang Zipeng spat a mouthful of saliva onto his shoes.

  Those were his new shoes that his mother had just polished! Fu Zichong couldn't bear it anymore, and like a madman, he rushed to Fang Zikai's face and beat him up mercilessly.

  Fang Zikpeng is a small fatty, looks arrogant, but actually has little combat power. The two of them fought together, and in fact, he was at a disadvantage more often.

  Fang Zixuan lowered her eyelids, her voice somewhat desolate. "Fang Zipeng, we've discussed this many times before. I'm unable to convince you; all I can say is that our paths are different and we shouldn't be together."

  She saw her walking into the house without looking back, Fang Zipeng panicked and quickly grabbed her hand, pitifully asking, "Sister, sister, don't you care about me anymore?"

  During this time, he became more and more dependent on her, especially after what happened with Zhang Yun. He had an inexplicable trust in her, and as soon as he saw her resolute attitude, he immediately became flustered and lost his composure. Where did he dare to have any temper? "Sister, I was wrong, I really was wrong!"

  "You have your freedom of thought, I can't judge what's right or wrong for you." She indifferently withdrew her hand, her voice having a resolute coldness.

  Fang Zikong was thoroughly panicked, and previously Fang Zixuan had also been ignoring him in the same way. No matter how unreasonable he was or how badly he spoke to her, she pretended not to see or hear anything, until that day when their parents casually told her to discipline him, and only then did she start taking him seriously as a younger brother to teach. He feared that from now on, she would treat him like a stranger again, and in the whole family, he only had her as his relative.

  "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say those things. I won't dare again...". Fang Zikai grasped her hand and refused to let go, crying with a mix of snot and tears, "Believe me, please believe me..."

  Fang Zixuan's expression finally eased up, "I don't want to hear those venomous words coming out of your mouth again, can you do that?"

  Fang Zipeng didn't even bother to respond, merely nodding like a garlic press.

  "Then go copy the book ten times." Although it was still a flat tone, Fang Zipeng easily heard her forgiveness and ran upstairs like flying, completely disregarding his own injuries.

  Is she copying books again? Fang Xinlan looked at Fang Zixuan with a puzzled expression, she had never seen anyone as strange as her before, couldn't figure out if she was really stupid or just pretending to be foolish, could it be that she's really a bookworm?
