4652 Never Too Late to Love (59)
“Aifei, please make it clear to yourself. Whose fault was it that they lost their jobs? You’re the one who brought your personal grudge into someone else’s work. You’re the one who should apologize. Yet you have the audacity to blackmail me emotionally?” Bai Sheng’s words were like pearls of wisdom, leaving Aifei unable to refute.
Ai Mengyun was extremely anxious as she stood there listening. She only cared about her own interests now, and could not be bothered what would happen to Aifei! That was more than half of her assets!
It had to be known that after the Chunjiang Tianxi property was sold out, she would be transferred to other sales offices. Chunjiang Tianxi could be said to be the best development and the best platform. If she missed this opportunity, who knew if there would be a next one.
Aifei was furious, but she still had to consider her aunt’s interests. Hence, she swallowed her anger and said, “I know, it’s my fault. I’m the one who looked down on you! I’m envious of you. I’m jealous of you, thinking what right you have, to be better off than me, or better looking than me. There are so many male colleagues hankering after you, and you even married such a good husband! I’m jealous, so I’m targeting you like this! It’s my fault, but please don’t implicate others!”
!!
Bai Sheng’s expression softened when she heard this, seeing that Aifei had finally spoken the truth. At least she was willing to speak the truth.
The most precious thing about a person is not a willingness to apologize, but a willingness to face the ugliness in their own heart. Admitting one’s own ugliness was harder than hypocritical morality.
“I got it.”
Bai Sheng smiled helplessly. “I will plead with my husband’s friend, but that’s all I can do! Because I still don’t want to interfere with the reward and punishment system of other companies, understand?”
Bai Sheng felt, too, that the punishment was too severe. She knew that Yun Tianyou was only avenging her. Since Aifei had sincerely apologized, she was willing to forgive her.
One should be generous wherever possible.
There was no need to make too many enemies for oneself.
Bai Sheng did not find enjoyment in targeting others.
Hence, she returned to the office. Gu Chengze looked up at her and saw her troubled expression. He immediately guessed. “Did they ask you to plead for leniency?”
“Yeah.”
Bai Sheng felt a little guilty. “I’m willing to forgive them, but I don’t know if I can plead on their behalf…”
“Why not?”
Yun Tianyou did not think much of it. “You pull more weight than your husband.”
Gu Chengze shot him an icy look and turned to ask Bai Sheng, “Then are you willing to forgive them?”
“I am…”
“Why?”
Gu Chengze was a little surprised. “Clearly, they humiliated you just then.”
Bai Sheng was a little embarrassed. The main reason was that she didn’t want him to be placed in a difficult position.
“I… I’m not good at holding grudges.”
When Gu Chengze heard this, he smiled helplessly.
She was still the same.
So gentle.
When she was a child, Bai Sheng was always ready to forgive those who bullied her, as long as they apologized sincerely.
At that time, he felt that she was too saintly. Why was she so magnanimous?
Some people were simply unforgivable.
He even asked her, what if Aifei bullied her in a bid to take revenge in the future, if she got away this time?
At that point, she revealed a confident expression. “I’m not afraid!”
Only then did he understand that forgiving someone was a act of fearlessness. He liked Bai Sheng for being the person she was.
Gu Chengze looked at Yun Tianyou. “Can the punishment be absolved?”
Yun Tianyou retorted, “Don’t you know that one can’t take back what one has said?”
