The Age of Rebirth: I lead the whole village to become rich

Chapter 490

Liang Xiu raised her head and her eyes met Zhao Wan's calmly. She did not respond immediately, but just waited quietly.

Zhao Wan took a deep breath and continued, "I know I went too far before. I shouldn't have framed you because of momentary jealousy. Seeing you running so hard every day to prove yourself, I really regret it and admire you. Your tenacity and perseverance made me see my own shortcomings."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wan's eyes reddened slightly.

She paused, as if trying to adjust herself. "I want to say sorry to you. I'm really sorry. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to make amends."

Liang Xiu looked at Zhao Wan's sincere expression, with complicated emotions surging in her heart.

She did not give an immediate answer, but remained silent for a few seconds, as if thinking about something.

Finally, Liang Xiu sighed softly, his tone calm and warm: "Zhao Wan, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. What matters is whether you can learn from them and sincerely repent. I see your sincerity and feel your changes. Let the past be the past, and we can start over."

When Zhao Wan heard this, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she held Liang Xiu's hand tightly.

She said excitedly: "Thank you, Liangxiu! I will cherish this opportunity and work hard to become a better person."

The two smiled at each other, as if all the misunderstandings and estrangements had disappeared at this moment.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on them, adding a bit of warmth and beauty to this time of reconciliation. On a quiet afternoon in the library, the sun shines through the window onto the pages of books, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet space. Liang Xiu sits in her usual seat, holding a carefully prepared draft of a speech in her hands, with determination and expectation in her eyes. She decides to take a brave step this time and sign up for the upcoming speech contest with class monitor Zhang Yu.

Taking a deep breath, Liang Xiu stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Zhang Yu with a hint of nervousness and excitement. Zhang Yu was sitting at a table not far away, flipping through a thick book attentively, occasionally looking up to exchange a few words with the students next to him, appearing both serious and easy-going.

"Zhang Yu, excuse me." Liang Xiu walked gently to Zhang Yu's side, trying his best to make his voice sound calm and confident.

Zhang Yu raised his head and saw that it was Liang Xiu. A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Liang Xiu, what's the matter?"

"Well, it's about the upcoming speech contest." Liang Xiu lowered his head slightly and twisted his hands together unconsciously.

But he quickly mustered up the courage to continue, "I have always been interested in public speaking and have been working hard to improve my ability to express myself. In this competition, I want to give myself a chance to challenge myself and show myself. So, I want to sign up for the competition."

Zhang Yu's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this. He knew Liang Xiu's talent and hard work, and believed that she would be able to shine in the competition.

"Liangxiu, your decision surprises me, but I am more happy than anything else."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "You have always been excellent. I believe you can show your style in the speech contest. However, you may need to go to the teacher in charge or the person in charge of the student union for registration. I am just here to help you keep an eye on the dynamics of the competition."
