" On what basis should I forgive you?" Mo Ning asked raising her head to reveal a sarcastic smile. " Should I forgive you and smile at you for offering me on a platter to that disgusting big bellied old slob?"
" I know that nothing I'm going to say or do can cover for what I've done. I also know that I don't deserve your forgiveness. I don't need you to forgive and forget, all I'm asking is that even if you don't mean it please just say that you forgive me. That's all I ask. " Zhao Weiran said wiping her face with the back of her hands.
" Even if I say it what difference does it make? Does it change anything? And if I do it what's in it for me? What do I gain from all this? " Mo Ning asked spreading out her arms to indicate the current situation.
" I... I don't mind leaving the entertainment industry. I'll disappear from your life. All I ask is please forgive me. "
Hearing the words she said, Mo Ning understood then how much her forgiveness meant to the other party.
For as long as she could remember, Zhao Weiran had always wanted to be an actress. To decide to give up her dreams just to get her forgiveness meant a lot.
" I forgive you" Mo Ning said in a voice that was barely audible to the people in the room.
"What? " Came the voice of three different people.
Zhao Weiran wasn't the only one in the room who was surprised by her decision. Even Grace and Bai Yaran were surprised.
" Why would you forgive her just like that after what she had done? What if the old geezer had succeeded, what would you have done?"
It was Bai Yaran who spoke. She stood up fuming. If it was possible, she would be spitting and breathing out fire from her nose and mouth.
She found the decision in itself absurd.
"Calm down Yaran."
"I'm calm. Can't you see I'm very calm? " She said staring daggers at Zhao Weiran.
" Alright then let me finish. You don't have to quit the industry just to gain my forgiveness. I forgive you."
" You are really forgiving me? Just like that? I don't need to quit the industry? "
" Yes I forgive you. Even though it hurts, I forgive you. "
" Why? " Zhao Weiran asked softly. She couldn't comprehend why she was forgiven so easily.
" Yes why? I want to know that too. Why do you seem so calm about all this? "Bai Yaran asked throwing her hands around in frustration.
" Why shouldn't I forgive her? She wanted to forfeit the dream she had dreamt so much to accomplish right when things are looking up for her just for my forgiveness. Isn't that enough reason? " She asked bringing her body down into a lying position on the ground.
"Besides, whether she did it or not? this would have happened eventually. I saw it coming but I didn't expect it in this way."
"What do you mean this would have happened eventually?" Grace asked the confusion evident on her face.
" Exactly what I said. He's been after me for sometime now. To have gone to the extent of terminating my contract with the company. I knew worse things were on the way. "
" Wait! The old fart did that? Why didn't we know all this? "Bai Yaran asked.
" If I told you, what would you have done? Besides I just figured that out not too long ago. " She replied in a tired voice.
" Oh! Is there any other thing we should know about? "
" I'll tell you guys later but right now I need to rest. I'm still a little shaken "
" Alright. "
" Do I need to file a police report against him?" Shen Mucheng who had been fusing himself into the background suddenly asked.
"No. No need. It will turn on me in the end. "
" Alright. "Shen Mucheng replied with a nod of his head.
Even though he agreed to not involve the police, it didn't mean he was willing to let the culprit walk out of this free.
