At this time, Liang Chengbing did not care about his “face” or whatnot. He decided without hesitation to find Han Zhuoli and Lu Man to make peace privately.
But he had no way of contacting Han Zhuoli and could reach only Zheng Tianming.
When Han Zhuoli contacted him regarding the road blockage the previous time, he had used Zheng Tianming’s phone.
So Liang Chengbing could only contact Zheng Tianming.
Over at the other end, Zheng Tianming sneered to himself.
Now he knows to be frightened, knows to beg for forgiveness. What was he doing before that?
Liang Chengbing fit the phrase especially well, “You reap what you sow.”
“Oh, it’s Director Liang,” Zheng Tianming said coolly. “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”
“Mr. Zheng, you should know about what is currently circulating on the Internet. I won’t plead my case, I just want to apologize to Lu Man and Young Master Han directly. Could you help me contact Young Master Han?” Liang Chengbing pleaded.
Zheng Tianming said dismissively, “Director Liang, it’s already so late, our CEO and his wife are already resting. It’ll be rude of me to disturb them now. What about tomorrow? I’ll help you ask tomorrow, okay?”
Liang Chengbing was anxious. “It’s only eight, though?”
Are Han Zhuoli and Lu Man taking excessive care of their health or what?
Sleeping at eight o’clock?
Who do they think they are lying to?!
“Oh, is it?” Zheng Tianming laughed. “Alright, then, I’ll just help you ask. But whether the CEO and his wife are willing to listen… That’s not up to me. I’m just a messenger.”
“I know, I know,” Liang Chengbing said hurriedly. “When you’ve passed the message, could you also help me say that I’m bringing 120% of my sincerity to apologize? That no matter what they ask of me, I’ll do it as long as they’ll forgive me. I’ll do it to the best of my abilities. I’ll also publicly apologize to Lu Man. Everything’s my fault and has nothing to do with her.”
Not so smug now, are you? Zheng Tianming thought to himself.
But he did not say anything aloud. Zheng Tianming agreed, “Alright, I’ll pass on your words.”
“Sorry for the trouble.” Liang Chengbing was being humble like never before.
He gave a bunch of thanks to Zheng Tianming before hanging up.
Zheng Tianming passed on his message exactly to Han Zhuoli, word for word.
When he finished listening, Han Zhuoli said, “If he comes to find you again in the future, just rebuff him straight away no matter what conditions he says. No need to report to me.”
“Alright, I understand,” Zheng Tianming replied.
Han Zhuoli did not care how Zheng Tianming carried his words to Liang Chengbing or how Liang Chengbing reacted.
Lu Man did not care either.
She never wanted Liang Chengbing to have an easy life, to forgive him, or to make peace with him.
She’s not that naive.
Liang Chengbing’s actions were borne out of the current situation.
The moment things turned for the better, he would revert back to his sneaky, underhanded, ungentlemanly ways.
Lu Man had never had any sympathy for such a person, nor would she be foolish enough to dig her own grave.
Meanwhile, everyone on the Net was scolding Liang Chengbing, and everyone now thought that Lu Man truly deserved her Best Newcomer Award.
The next day, Zheng Tianming found out who the next batch of people who flamed Lu Man was.
“It’s someone Lin Jinshu contacted,” Zheng Tianming said.
If Lin Jinshu’s involved, Wang Qianyun probably was too.
Since matters now involved Lin Jinshu, Han Zhuoli and Lu Man returned to Yi Garden to inform Wang Juhuai.
Wang Juhuai blushed. “It’s still my fault. I’ve implicated Man Man.”
“Don’t say that, Dad. It’s Lin Jinshu’s problem, not yours,” Lu Man said.
