Sheng Xueqian, seeing that Mu Lan was hesitant to speak, thought she had caught her in a misstep and a sense of triumph couldn't help but flash in her eyes.
And Huo Qitang also thought it was a good opportunity to intervene:
"Mu Lan, what Xueqian said isn't wrong. Since you've already admitted your mistake, why not visit the Sheng Family's home? Or is it that you don't actually want to apologize..."
Huo Qitang had only gotten halfway through his sentence when Mu Lan finally spoke up hesitantly, looking even more pitiful than before.
"Auntie, you've misunderstood me too.
If Miss Sheng feels better with me coming over to apologize, then I'll do it.
But... I cannot visit."
Sheng Xueqian glared angerly, thinking that Mu Lan was deliberately toying with her.
"You say you're willing one moment and then the next you say you can't visit; what do you mean by that? Grandfather Huo, you see now, don't you? She's clearly just looking for excuses."
