Chapter 747: I Concede, Let Me Off
Mrs. Sang stood by the bed and looked at Gu Mang. She dug her nails into her palms.
When Sang Xue saw Old Master Sang’s attitude towards Gu Mang, she grabbed the side of her bed tightly and yelled at her, “Why are you here? This is my ward! Get out!”
Old Master Sang’s face darkened and he glared at his granddaughter harshly. “You brat! How bold of you to speak!”
Sang Xue bit her lip. “It wasn’t even my fault! Meng Jinyang was the one who smashed my items first. How can you blame me?!”
“Can you hit others just because they smashed your things?” Old Master Sang berated coldly. “What did your pig-brain learn from studying all that law?”
Sang Xue was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot red.
Old Master Sang glared at her. “Apologize to Ms. Gu and Ms. Meng right now!”
“I won’t!” Sang Xue refused to admit fault. “I wasn’t in the wrong!”
Gu Mang tilted her head slightly and there was a slight arc to her lips. She looked at Sang Xue rather nonchalantly. She looked as though she was enjoying a good show.
Mrs. Sang bit her lip. Given the current circumstance, the best option was to get Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou to show some mercy and let the Sang family off, no matter how unwilling her daughter was.
As long as they survived they could reclaim their reputations and luxurious life.
Mrs. Sang looked at Sang Xue. “Xue Er, apologize to Ms. Gu.”
Seeing that even her own mother was trying to force her to apologize, Sang Xue yelled furiously, “Mom! Even you’re not taking my side?!”
“I said apologize!” This was the first time that Mrs. Sang had given her daughter a straight face.
Sang Xue looked at her mother. After a while, she laughed coldly and glanced at Gu Mang. “I will never apologize to anyone like her!”
With that, she lay back down as if she didn’t want to bother with anything.
“Do you know how much the jade you smashed costs?” Mrs. Sang suddenly asked.
Sang Xue paused while moving the pillow and she looked at Mrs. Sang. She did not know why she would suddenly mention Meng Jinyang’s jade.
When she finally realized, she sneered subconsciously. “Ha, how much can a silly piece of jade be worth? She smashed my limited edition cup that had Elder Bai Yong’s signature on it!”
The look in her eyes became even more aggressive.
“60 million,” Mrs. Sang said.
Sang Xue froze. She frowned. “What?”
“The jade that you broke was worth 60 million!” Mrs. Sang clenched her fist. “All of the Sang family’s assets have been seized. If we cannot afford to compensate, you will have to be imprisoned.”
Sang Xue studied law. Of course, she knew that well. She did not believe that Gu Mang could ruin the Sang family, which was an aristocratic family in the capital.
The Sang Company was still under investigation at the moment. Her father and grandfather would surely be able to solve the problem.
Even if the Sang family was unable to move their assets at the moment, would her uncle and aunt not be able to fork out 60 million to help her?
Sang Xue looked at Gu Mang and said nonchalantly, “It’s merely 60 million. Do you really think that would affect me in any way?”
Seeing that her daughter still did not understand the situation, Mrs. Sang got impatient and resentful her. “If we can afford it, would I be telling you this?”
Sang Xue’s heart skipped a beat and she finally got it. If her uncle and aunt were willing to help them out, would the entire Sang family be stuck at the hospital with nowhere to go?
She looked at Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou who were just standing there and her throat tightened gradually.
Did even Uncle not dare to help them?
Sang Xue was used to the pragmatism of the capital. She knew what this meant.
No one would help the Sang family.
In an instant, it was as if Sang Xue’s blood had frozen. Her heart palpitated wildly and she panicked.
Old Master Sang gave Sang Xue an evil eye. Seeing that she had finally learned her place, he said coldly, “Apologize to Ms. Gu now!”
Mrs. Sang turned to Gu Mang and dug her nails into her palm. She forced a smile and her attitude was the exact opposite of what it had been the night before. “Ms. Gu, I defended my daughter because I did not understand the situation last night. Now that I know she was the one who struck first, it is only right of her to apologize to you and Ms. Meng.”
“Yeah.” Old Master Sang maintained a humble stance. He turned to Sang Xue, who looked pale and distracted. “Aren’t you going to apologize to Ms. Gu?!”
Sang Xue looked up and bit her lip. “Will she let me off if I apologize?”
