Three days later, Cao Liwan ran to the school, knocked on the door of Li Qiao's dormitory, and broke down in tears, begging for mercy:
"Li Qiao, I was wrong. I was temporarily blinded by nonsense, and I hope you can forgive me."
Li Qiao crossed her arms and looked on with calm disinterest at Cao Liwan.
After a few moments, she let out a cold snort, "If the investigation hadn't pointed to you, would you genuinely admit your mistake? The last time you spread rumors about my pregnancy, and when the school didn't punish me, you had people from outside the school harass me. It almost drove my grandmother to a nervous breakdown. Why didn't you think of stopping then? Now that you've been caught red-handed, you think of apologizing. It's too late!" With that, she closed the door.
Cao Liwan cried uncontrollably.
This incident of hiring people wasn't her fault.
