Chapter 709 - 712: Apology

Each family knows its own affairs, and Xu Yufen knows what kind of people her own family members are.

She just said all that, really just to vent a little.

Turning her head, looking at the still tightly closed door, Xu Yufen gritted her teeth secretly.

Is not opening the door enough?

Even if she can’t get in today, she plans to break down this door.

Thinking this, Xu Yufen didn’t continue to sit down, but stood up to look for something handy.

But this place was so clean, there was nothing around.

Unable to find anything, Xu Yufen felt a little angry.

Just when she didn’t know what to do, she suddenly heard someone ask, "What are you looking for?"

"A brick."

"What do you need a brick for?"

"To break the door."

"Whose door are you going to break?"

"Of course, to break—"

Before finishing her sentence, Xu Yufen suddenly came to her senses and looked up to see who it was.

At this look, she realized the person speaking to her was none other than Pei Huai.

Pei Huai looked down at Xu Yufen indifferently, with no expression on his face and no warmth in his voice.

"Why did you stop talking? Whose door are you going to break?"

"I... I... this... that..."

Xu Yufen stammered for a long time without being able to make any sense.

Pei Huai wasn’t really interested in hearing Xu Yufen’s answer. Even without hearing her answer, he knew whose door she intended to break.

"I’ll give you one last chance to properly apologize to my mom and Jiang Ran, and then I’ll send your family back to your hometown so you can live well there."

"If you don’t cherish this opportunity..."

Xu Yufen anxiously looked at Pei Huai, waiting for him to continue.

After a while, she finally heard Pei Huai speak again.

"If you don’t cherish this opportunity, then suit yourself."

Though not a threatening phrase, this subtle tone nonetheless made Xu Yufen’s hair stand on end.

It’s not scary for someone to hold a grudge against you; it’s scary when they don’t care about you at all.

Don’t even consider you important.

You’re not even a clown to them.

At that point, you’d really have no one to call for help.

Though Xu Yufen wasn’t that bright, she was at least someone with a brain.

As soon as she weighed and considered the current situation, she’d know what choice to make.

If she continued with the fight against Wang Cuilan, they wouldn’t be able to survive in beishi, nor would they make it back to their hometown.

One day, they might really freeze or starve to death on the streets.

Compared to that, going back home and living a poor but stable life is actually not bad.

After all, there are houses and land in their hometown; as long as they’re willing to work, they definitely won’t starve.

As for anything else, there was no point in thinking about it.

But even if she wanted to think about anything else, the conditions wouldn’t allow it anyway.

Once she understood, Xu Yufen repeatedly nodded and bowed.

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll apologize, I’ll admit my mistakes."

Looking at Xu Yufen like that, Pei Huai still showed no expression.

Paying attention to such people is a waste.

Pei Huai said nothing more, he just turned and walked to the door, knocking on it.

"It’s me."

He had just said two words when the door opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was none other than Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran saw Pei Huai standing at the door and naturally also saw Xu Yufen not far behind him.

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, "What’s this?"
