Faced with the old chief's words, Qing and Luan had no choice but to step out from the crowd and come before Lu Xiao.
The two of them had lost their previous arrogance. Now, before Lu Xiao, they had both become cautious and timid.
Luan even knelt down. "Lu Xiao, I only said those things to you because I listened to Qing's vicious lies. I know I was wrong now, and I'll never do it again. I hope you can forgive me. As long as you forgive me, I'll do anything you ask."
Qing stood frozen. Under the gazes of the crowd, she clenched her fists and knelt. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spread lies about you. I know I was wrong, and it won't happen again. Please, forgive me."
Compared to Luan, Qing was clearly still resentful.
Lu Xiao's gaze swept over her coolly. 'She knew perfectly well that Qing was only apologizing because the old chief must have said something, forcing her to bow her head.'
