But Yu Wanqing still tried to calm herself down and continued to gaze at Xia Yinian.
"Nian Nian, given the relationship between the Gu and Yu families, you wouldn’t want our business to beco a laughingstock outside, would you?"
She knew very well that a soft approach wouldn’t work with Xia Yinian; this girl wouldn’t consider their interests at all.
Since a soft approach wouldn’t work, then, it was ti for so intimidation.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and a coldness flashed across the depths of her eyes.
"If you insist on making things difficult for , people outside will speculate that our families are at odds. At that ti, it will definitely affect the stock market performance of both groups..."
"Lady Qing, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. First, you are neither the CEO of Yu Sheng Pharmaceutical nor the decision-maker. At best, you’re just a lady of the Yu Family, and your position in the company is not top-tier."
Gu Beicheng closed his notebook, crossed his long legs, a gesture that undeniably srized countless people in the lobby.
However, those crazed glances thrown his way never mattered to him.
"Secondly, this matter is actually quite simple; you were not aware of your actions at the ti..."
"Beicheng, since you’re aware that I wasn’t aware of my actions, you should understand that it wasn’t intentional."
Yu Wanqing imdiately latched onto this key point, wondering why they have to quibble with soone who was frightened and not in her right mind.
"So, you can tell everyone in your apology that it was only because you were not in the right state of mind that you slandered Nian Nian. Normally you would never fra an innocent girl, isn’t that right?"
Gu Beicheng spoke lightly, as if things really could be settled that easily.
But Yu Wanqing felt a chill run through her body: "Apology... word?"
"You almost ruined a little girl; don’t you think a public apology is called for?"
Gu Beicheng gave her a glance, indifferent no matter what was said.
"Just because of your false accusation, she almost ended up at the police station. Regardless of whether the outco proved true or false, having gone in there, that girl’s life would be destroyed."
"Lady Qing, she’s just an eighteen-year-old child, much younger than you. After bullying soone, you should take responsibility."
"I..." Yu Wanqing bit her lip, not expecting Gu Beicheng to be even harsher than Xia Yinian!
Xia Yinian only wanted her to admit to framing her in front of these people, but Gu Beicheng actually wanted her to make a public apology.
"You can’t do it?" Gu Beicheng’s eyes narrowed.
In that mont, facing his icy gaze, Yu Wanqing felt as though she had fallen into a cold pool.
"I..." Taking a deep breath, she knew there was no way out for her today.
To maintain the last bit of dignity, she had to suppress the rage in her heart and said lightly, "Fine, I agree."
"Then, let’s have you issue a public apology on Weibo."
Gu Beicheng glanced at Chi He, who was prepared, and imdiately handed a laptop to Yu Wanqing.
"Lady Qing, the cruise ship is about to dock soon, and there’s free WIFI here courtesy of the cruise control center. Please issue your Weibo post now."
Yu Wanqing bit her lip, her complexion pale with anger.
They were so ruthless! Everything seed preditated, from Gu Beicheng’s steely order to lock up Xia Yinian right from the start.
To now, forcing her to publicly apologize on Weibo – everything was for Xia Yinian!
It turned out that the person he had been protecting from the very beginning was that girl!
And her, foolishly, actually believed at that ti, thought that he was so heartless towards Xia Yinian!
"Do you really... want to hurt like this?"
