"Please, I really can't lose this job. Say a few good words for me. If you won't help me, I'll truly have nowhere to go."
Xia Yuan quickly helped her up.
"Let's talk this through properly, you really mustn't do this."
Li Minmin was crying a mess.
"I know acting this way is very wrong, but I was just so jealous of you. Why is everything about you better than me? But now I realize my mistake, please forgive me this once, I promise such things will never happen again."
After all, Xia Yuan was still inexperienced in the ways of the world, and seeing Li Minmin like this made her feel somewhat tenderhearted; she sighed deeply.
"I used to regard you as a close friend, but you stabbed me in the back. Anyone would find it hard to bear, yet you're acting like this, making it very difficult for me."
Upon hearing Xia Yuan's tone soften, Li Minmin immediately attempted to kneel again.
