Hou Shizhen found out the truth under interrogation. He knew that Lin Mingzhuo wouldn't let this slide, so he promptly took Hou Xiaoai to the Lin family's residence.
Fortunately, he arrived early. Just as Mr. Lin was making a decision, Butler Lu entered to announce that Hou Shizhen had brought Hou Xiaoai to apologize.
Mr. Lin's expression was grim as he faced them.
As soon as they entered, Hou Shizhen adopted a very humble attitude.
"Xiaoai was foolish and made a grave mistake. However, she's still young. Her life would be ruined if she ended up in the police station. Miss Jiang, Xiaoai lacks understanding. I'll have her apologize to you." Hou Shizhen beseeched with a somewhat shameless demeanor in front of the Lin family.
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang." Despite Hou Xiaoai's resentment towards Jiang Tongtong, she became honest and explained fearfully, "I truly didn't intend to harm you. I only had someone scare you..."
