Chapter 232: 232 Zheng Chuyi’s Transformation, Part Two (Fourth Update)

Given the status of the Jiang family in the Superpower World, isn’t this asking her to marry beneath her?

She, the fateful daughter of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing and the most beautiful woman in the Superpower World, how could she possibly condescend to marry into the Jiang family, a household far less distinguished than the Zheng family!

Isn’t this an indirect insult to her?

This Tong Zhi really thinks she’s so naïve, so easy to deceive!

Does she truly believe that she’s the only smart person in the entire world?

Considering everyone else a fool?

How ridiculous!

Even though she thought thus, Zheng Chuyi still nodded gratefully towards Tong Zhi, her face streaked with tears, "Alright, Aunt Tong, I understand, I will definitely consider your suggestion."

Tong Zhi also nodded in relief, reaching out to stroke Zheng Chuyi’s head, "That’s good, that’s very good."

After saying these things, Zheng Chuyi turned her gaze to Mo Zhixuan.

The man under the lights, dressed in a white shirt with an overcoat of a high-end, handmade black suit, held a knife and fork, earnestly cutting the steak on his plate.

His expression was serious, his fingers clearly defined against the cold hardness of the knife and fork, all composing a strikingly beautiful sight.

A man like this was destined to look down upon the world and become a supreme ruler.

One day, when she stood beside him, she would make him notice her, fall in love with her.

To not vie openly is the real competition!

Zheng Chuyi watched him, her mind momentarily dazzled, before she slowly spoke, her vision blurred by tears, "Zhixuan, I was wrong to you before. I don’t expect your forgiveness, only that you’d accept my apology. I shouldn’t have clung to you when you were engaged, let alone forcibly moved into the Mo family residence and caused you trouble—I’m deeply sorry!"

Having said this, Zheng Chuyi bowed deeply to Mo Zhixuan, her sincerity evident.

Zheng Chuyi continued, "From now on, I will stay away from your world and will not cause you any more trouble, nor will I disturb you and Sister-in-law..." As she spoke the last word, it seemed as if she had made a great decision, and tears almost immediately welled up.

"I hope you and Sister-in-law will be well, just as you tolerated my temper in the past, tolerate Sister-in-law, and I wish you both happiness."

It was only then that Mo Zhixuan leisurely put down his knife and fork and looked towards Zheng Chuyi. His sharp features almost expressionless, as calm as could be, as if he had not heard Zheng Chuyi’s previous tearful and touching confession.

It was as though there was nothing left that could stir his emotions.

"I accept your good wishes, but there’s no need for an apology."

His voice was still as deep and cold as ever, untainted by any other emotion.

"Zhixuan," Zheng Chuyi wiped the tears from her face, her countenance full of genuine remorse, "does this mean you don’t accept my apology? Are you still mad at me?"

Mo Zhixuan swapped his plate of neatly cut steak with that of the person opposite him, then lifted his eyes to look at Zheng Chuyi, "You owe me nothing to begin with, so there’s no need for you to apologize to me, nor do I harbor any blame towards you?"

Zheng Chuyi, seeing his action of swapping plates, felt it as an affront to her eyes!

These were surely the machinations of that lowly commoner, deliberately having Mo Zhixuan show such love and care for her in front of her.

Otherwise, knowing Mo Zhixuan’s character, how could he possibly do such a thing for a woman!

How could such a prideful person be so attentive to a woman!

This lowly commoner, is she trying to taunt me?

Yet I refuse to be angered! I will not play into her hands!

A mere commoner dares to think she can surpass me? Utterly delusional!

One day, I will personally reclaim everything that belongs to me!

Zheng Chuyi suppressed the frustration, anger, and the acid rising in her heart, looking pitifully at Mo Zhixuan, "Zhixuan, I feel much better now that you said that. All I need is to know that you don’t blame me. Will you still take care of me like you would a sister in the future?"

"Rest assured, I am always mindful of Zilong’s entrustment," Mo Zhixuan continued, "If Jiang Mubai ever bullies you in the future, I will definitely join Sister-in-law to help you seek justice."

Hearing this, Zheng Chuyi’s complexion grew even paler, her hands clenched tightly within her sleeves, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He clearly knew that what he wanted was not this answer, he clearly knew that there had never been anything between him and Jiang Mubai.

Yet why did he still reject himself in this way, even to the point of humiliation!

But it would have been acceptable if it were only Mo Zhixuan alone. However, to drag that lowly commoner in as well, wasn’t this a veiled insult to himself?

Zheng Chuyi’s heart ached even more, and his body shook even more violently, tears surging forth.

Others simply thought her tears were of regret and reluctance at parting, never delving deeper into her sentiments.

"Thank you, I am very happy to have a brother like you who always considers my well-being," Zheng Chuyi’s voice was raspy, "Zhixuan, before you leave, I have a small request, and I hope you can grant it."

"Go ahead," Mo Zhixuan said succinctly.

"May I hug you?" Zheng Chuyi’s lips formed a pale smile, then explained, "Don’t worry, I have no ulterior motive, it’s just a pure sibling embrace."

With that, Zheng Chuyi turned her gaze to Chu Jin and asked softly, "Chujin, I just want to simply hug my ninth brother, I believe you won’t mind, right?"

Chu Jin was stuffing a piece of steak into her mouth when she heard this. She looked at Zheng Chuyi with some surprise, quickly swallowed the steak, and was about to speak when Mo Zhixuan’s voice suddenly filled the air, "I mind, Chuyi. Your sister-in-law is jealous, and she’s too embarrassed to say it herself. If you get your hug today, who knows what means she might use to torment me once we get back. Let’s skip the hug."

Chu Jin turned her head hastily to look at Mo Zhixuan, her beautiful eyes flickering, thinking, MMP, as if you’re the jealous one! Your whole family is jealous!

Mo Zhixuan, however, reached out to pick up a slice of steak and handed it to Chu Jin, cooing softly, "Come on, stop being petulant. There are guests present, save me some face."

The love and indulgence filled his deep, phoenix eyes.

Since Zheng Chuyi was going to leave, he had to completely sever the inappropriate thoughts in her heart.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome in the future.

Seeing them like this, Zheng Chuyi’s lips curled into a bitter smile, "Alright, I understand."

Zheng Chuyi had never seen Mo Zhixuan like this before.

Such a strange Mo Zhixuan.

How could he deign to stoop to such levels for a lowly commoner!

It was painful for her to watch!

Collecting her thoughts, Zheng Chuyi then turned to Mo Qingyi with a very apologetic expression, sincerely apologizing, "Qingyi, I know you’ve always been prejudiced against me, didn’t like me, but I’m leaving now. I hope you can let go of your prejudices and accept my apology. I was wrong before, I’m sorry!"

Zheng Chuyi gave a deep bow to Mo Qingyi, "I hope if we are fated to meet in the future, we can be great friends."

Mo Qingyi was, after all, just a teenager, and after hearing Zheng Chuyi’s tearful confession, even if she didn’t like Zheng Chuyi, she couldn’t bring herself to coldly face her. She generously waved her hand at Zheng Chuyi, "It’s nothing, nothing, ’The prime minister’s belly can support a boat,’ I forgive you. I hope in the future you will become a better person!"

Zheng Chuyi’s face still showed guilt, her expression sincere, but inside she sneered disdainfully,

What a shameless lowly commoner!

To accept her, a girl blessed with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, so complacently!

Could she bear it?

Truly a vulgar person with no insight. A commoner is a commoner, they can never turn their life around, their vision is just that limited!

One day, she would make everyone regret their decisions today!

Zheng Chuyi faced Mo Qingyi with a very friendly, kind smile, "Thank you, Qingyi, I will remember this for a lifetime." A cold and venomous glint flickered briefly in her downcast eyes.

"You’re welcome, really, I’m just promoting racial harmony and development," laughed Mo Qingyi.

Lastly, Zheng Chuyi turned her gaze to Chu Jin, "Chujin, I owe you an apology too. I shouldn’t have spoken about you like that last night, I shouldn’t have provoked you, nor should I have looked down on the inferior blood in your veins. And I especially shouldn’t have let Jia Zhuo draft that Blood Covenant. Chujin, thank you for being able to forgive me in the end. I’m very grateful to you. You’ve given me a chance to start anew. If it wasn’t for your kindness in not wanting to stoop to my level, I would probably be a slave for people to beat and scold by now. Chujin, your great kindness, I will remember for a lifetime! Thank you!"

At the end, Zheng Chuyi still gave a deep bow, her face filled with remorse, very moved.
