Apologies Should Be Sincere

Jiang Guo chuckled inwardly: Jiang Yuan was really ruthless.

Well, if that's the case, then she wouldn't bother being impolite either.

Just then, she noticed Ji Yunchen walking out of the elevator from the corner of her eye.

Changing her strategy quickly, she put on an expression of humiliation and anger.

"Is this how Kai Tai treats its guests? If you don't want to cooperate with me, just say so openly. Is there a need to label me as a homewrecker?"

The moment Ji Yunchen saw Jiang Guo, he was somewhat surprised. It was her! The woman he had seen at the airport yesterday!

Upon hearing Jiang Guo's words, Ji Yunchen's expression darkened. "What's going on?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Jiang Yuan stiffened. "Yun... Yunchen, why are you here?"

"Ji Yunchen? So, you're the Mr. Ji of Kai Tai?"

Jiang Guo pretended as if she had just learned Ji Yunchen's identity and sneered, "What a great couple. Yesterday the husband caused trouble, and today the wife followed. I simply declined to answer your wife's high-handed question about who I am, and she immediately labeled me as a homewrecker. Mr. Ji, is this the sincerity of Ji Corporation?"

In just a few sentences, Jiang Guo explained the situation that had just occurred and taunted, "I initially thought that Kai Tai sincerely invited me to join. Now, I think I need to reconsider your offer."

Ji Yunchen subconsciously looked towards Jiang Yuan.

"Yunchen, it's not what you think. It was just a misunderstanding!" Noticing Jiang Guo's humiliation tactics, Jiang Yuan realized that Jiang Guo wasn't lying.

"Yunchen, I..."

Ji Yunchen gave Jiang Yuan a warning look, then turned to Jiang Guo.

"Miss Jiang, I apologize on behalf of my friend for her inappropriate behavior just now. I hope you can forgive her."

Beside them, Lu Ming showed a hint of surprise.

They had encountered tough clients and collaborators before, but this was the first time he had seen Ji Yunchen display such a submissive attitude.

"Mr. Ji, the reason I agreed to join your company was because I wanted a suitable environment to focus on my skincare research. I didn't want to spend endless hours every day explaining, 'I'm just a colleague, don't misunderstand our relationship'. If joining your company means dealing with so much trouble, then I need to reconsider it."

Ji Yunchen's expression darkened. "Miss Jiang, does this mean you don't want to join our company?"

Jiang Guo smiled. "It depends on your company's sincerity."

With that, Jiang Guo left without looking back.

The atmosphere in the lobby became unusually cold and silent.

Jiang Yuan realized that her earlier attitude had angered Ji Yunchen.

To prevent Ji Yunchen from growing resentful, she took the initiative and said, "Yunchen, I'm sorry. I acted impulsively just now. If I had known that Miss Jiang came here to test me, I should have controlled my temper. It was my fault for making her disappointed in Kai Tai. I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Yunchen interrupted her. "Why are you here?"

"I just went to see Ming Ming. He told me that you came to the company this morning without having breakfast, which worries me. I thought of coming to bring you something to eat."

"Please don't come here in the future. I can take care of myself."

Ji Yunchen's words were essentially distancing himself from her.

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked even more wronged as she gazed at him.

"Yunchen, I truly know I was wrong. I'll go and apologize to Miss Jiang. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Ji Yunchen turned to look at her.

"Make sure your apology is sincere enough that she will forgive you."

Jiang Yuan's expression stiffened.

She had thought that by showing such vulnerability, Ji Yunchen would stand firmly by her side.

She hadn't expected him to actually ask her to apologize to that woman.

"Alright, I will."

Jiang Yuan was displeased.

One day, she would make the woman who had humiliated her in public pay the price she deserved! Just wait!

Having said everything that needed to be said, Ji Yunchen turned and headed back towards the top floor.

He spoke to Lu Ming beside him, "Prepare a gift for Jiang Guo to express our apologies."

Lu Ming didn't understand. "Mr. Ji, didn't we ask Miss Jiang Yuan to apologize? Do we still need to prepare a gift?"

Ji Yunchen nodded as a matter of course. "Her apology only represents herself. Since we invited her here, we should show our sincerity."

Lu Ming nodded in understanding. "Understood, I'll arrange it immediately."

After leaving Kai Tai, Jiang Guo called Yi Yao.

"Yao Yao, where are you right now? I want to see you."

"I'm still at school. I haven't finished my enrollment procedures yet. Have you finished your work already?" Yi Yao asked in surprise.

"No, I didn't succeed. Today, I met Jiang Yuan in the lobby."

"You bumped into her so soon?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it either." Jiang Guo recounted the confrontation with Jiang Yuan to Yi Yao.

Yi Yao clicked her tongue in disdain. "Jiang Yuan is really unbearable!"

As she spoke, Yi Yao's tone shifted to concern. "By the way, you didn't leave any dignity for Ji Yunchen and Jiang Yuan today. Will it affect your plan?"
