Gu Xijue's words frightened Zhao Ying.
The police station?
When Zhao Ying looked up again, she saw Si Yuchen sitting opposite them, his gaze frosty, leisurely waiting for her apology.
Zhao Ying had the illusion that Si Yuchen was waiting for her to apologize of her own accord. This young man was the same age as her son, but his sharp insight had long foreseen that she would eventually apologize.
Reluctant and unwilling, Zhao Ying didn't have much choice.
"Son, I only let it slide with that wretched girl for your sake this time."
Zhao Ying lost face, but in front of her son, she still tried to salvage some dignity for herself.
Gu Xiaonuan obediently listened to Si Yuchen and left the remaining mess to him.
With Gu Xijue present, Gu Xiaonuan's persistence and principles would eventually be broken.
Who could blame Gu Xiaonuan for not being able to watch Gu Xijue in distress?
"Madam Si, I'll go out first."
