Su Qian'er fell silent upon hearing those words. She looked at Li Mei, her already complex expression growing even more complicated.
She was a kind person, how could she possibly berate or beat Li Mei, such a young girl, even if Li Mei had indeed done something wrong, and even if Li Mei's mistake could very well have dire consequences, she wouldn't treat Li Mei that way.
"Really, owner, you can scold or punish me, just don't be silent. Seeing you like this makes me feel terrible," Li Mei's eyes reddened, and tears plopped down her cheeks.
She wasn't like Chen Yufei, a strong woman who, even when she was deeply moved, would only swallow her teeth and blood without revealing her vulnerability.
Su Qian'er stood there, quiet and motionless.
Seeing this, Li Mei unexpectedly raised her own hand.
If Su Qian'er was unwilling to take action, then she would punish herself.
She lifted her right hand and harshly slapped her own face.
