Ling Sheng looked up to see Jun Shiyan arrive, pushed by An Yan. The man in the wheelchair looked immensely upset.
Like a lamb, Gu Shen toned down and became well-behaved immediately. He seemed to fear him as he greeted him respectfully. “Third Uncle.”
“Dear, why did you just arrive?” Ling Sheng, who did not move an inch, pouted and looked at him with teary eyes, looking as though she had suffered many grievances.

Gu Shen tensed up as he turned to look at his expressionless uncle. Then, he looked at Ling Sheng.
Nonsense! That d*mn woman!
Jun Shiyan watched the lady’s expression instantly changed.
Before seeing him, she had looked righteous, indignant at the injustice suffered and apparently ready for a fight.
Now, she looked like a wronged child who had been bullied and was trying to complain to her parent. His heart softened at the sight, and he said in a deep voice, “Come here.”

Ling Sheng sobbed and looked at him grievously but remained rooted to the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Jun Shiyan spoke with the sternness of an elder. He looked at Gu Shen and bellowed, “You bullied her!”
Taken aback by the words of his normally cold uncle, Gu Shen looked at Ling Sheng’s arrogant face out of his peripheral vision, feeling his blood boiling.
“Hurry up and apologize.” Jun Shiyan ordered him.
While Gu Shen seemed to choke upon hearing this order, he did not have the guts to defy it. He reluctantly apologized. “Sorry.”
“Why are you looking at me?” Jun Shiyan frowned, his voice ice-cold as he added, “Ah Shen, do you still need me to teach you how to apologize?”
Gu Shen, of course, did not dare to answer. Like a quail, he looked at Ling Sheng and apologized to her obediently. “Sorry.”
Ling Sheng pointed at Gu Shen and continued complaining. “He’s not sincere. He doesn’t intend to apologize at all.”
“Ms. Ling, it’s my fault. You are a person of great moral stature. Please let go of the
offenses committed by someone of low moral stature like me. Forgive me.” Agitation caused by Ling Sheng seared in his heart.
