My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots
732 Apologize(Chapter preview)
At this moment, regret filled Ling Pinyuan's stomach until it threatened to spill.
However...
Would Zhong Nuannuan stop being mean and put a halt to her poisonous tongue?
Obviously not.
After all, she was the classic type of person who would take revenge for the smallest grievances and return it double.
Zhong Nuannuan looked at Ling Pinyuan and said with a cheeky smile, "By the way, Miss Ling, Aiden will be holding a large auction at Lijing Mansion in three days. At that time, I'll bring the 14 raw stones selected from Soaring Clouds Pavilion to the auction. Guess, other than the imperial jade that has been discovered, how much jade will we find in the remaining 14?"
Ling Pinyuan, "...!!!"
When Zhong Nuannuan saw that Ling Pinyuan was trembling more and more, she did not stop. Instead, she added, "If Miss Ling is interested, why don't... we have another bet?"
Bet?
Bet your ass!
Ling Pinyuan really wanted to rush forward and hack Zhong Nuannuan into pieces.
However, she could not win.
Ling Pinyuan decided not to make Zhong Nuannuan her enemy because she understood what happened to Ou Mingxi.
After all, Ling Pinyuan nearly lost her entire lifetime's worth just because of a very small matter.
If she continued to suffer these losses, she would probably end up like Ou Mingxi.
This was the good thing about Ling Pinyuan--she was not all empty up there.
Even though she looked down on the weak because of her privileged family background, she would never bow down to those who were weaker than her. If she lost, she would grab everything back at double the rate.
To put it bluntly, she would butter up to the strong and bully the weak.
If Zhong Nuannuan was weaker than her, Ling Pinyuan would make sure to make her claims at double the rate the next day even if she had suffered a loss today, even if it meant that she had to pay the price.
However, once she found out that Zhong Nuannuan was much stronger than her, no matter how much she suffered under her opponent's hands, she would not dare to have the guts to claim compensation for her grievances.
Therefore, when Ling Pinyuan understood the cruel truth, she took a deep breath, took off her peaked cap, and gave Zhong Nuannuan a 90-degree bow.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhong. I was in the wrong earlier, so I apologize to you. It did occur to me that there was more to your identity than meets the eye, and I was paranoid that Captain would get hurt. Since you have such a powerful background, and the higher-ups have no doubts about you, I won't question you anymore. Please forgive me for the harm I have caused you. Only I, firstly, have lost an imperial jade worth five billion. Based on what Miss Zhong just said, we actually lost more than just five billion. Furthermore, I'm about to receive my punishment from the military base, so I hope that Miss Zhong will forgive the Ling family for what I am about to face, please."
It was undeniable that Ling Pinyuan was more than twice as smart as Zhong Qianqian and Ou Mingxi.
Not only did she apologize at impeccable timing, she even apologized sincerely in front of everyone.
This made Zhong Nuannuan and Chi Yang, who were already prepared to destroy the Ling family, stop their plans at the same time.
Correct. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
When Ling Pinyuan repeatedly provoked Zhong Nuannuan, Chi Yang and Nuannuan had already secretly decided to destroy the Ling family to teach Ling Pinyuan a lesson.
However, Ling Pinyuan apologized in public and even told the officers about what happened to the Ling family.
Actually, even if these officers heard about it, they could still make a move on the Ling family. However, Ling Pinyuan's attitude was still very sincere as she apologized, and Zhong Nuannuan had indeed benefited a lot from the Ling family, so the two of them decided at the same time not to make a move for the time being.
