Chapter 1162 If apologies were enough, what would be the point of laws?

"He Chen, I already know what happened. Yang Cheng was in the wrong!"

Yang Cheng's mother's voice came through the phone, making Yang Cheng feel uneasy. This was the cafeteria, and many people had already been paying attention to what was happening here.

His mother's words left him utterly embarrassed.

However, this was not the end, but only the beginning. Something even more unacceptable happened: his mother suddenly called on him: "Yang Cheng, apologize to He Chen!"

"Mom, you want me to apologize to him?" Yang Cheng asked incredulously, "He was the one who mocked Wang Ying first!"

"Yingying, do you think that's mockery?" Yang Cheng's mother immediately asked Wang Ying to express her opinion.

"No... It's my fault, I shouldn't have been so dramatic..." Wang Ying knew what Yang Cheng's mother meant, and could only admit that she was wrong.

Although she felt aggrieved, she had to accept Yang Cheng's mother's arrangement, even with tears in her eyes, since she was the one who made the call.

Otherwise, this will not only fail to help the childhood sweetheart out of the predicament, but will also fail to make the childhood sweetheart's mother remember her well. Instead, she will blame everything on her.

After all, Yang Cheng stood up for her.

However, at crucial moments, she was unwilling to set aside her pride and help her childhood sweetheart out of a predicament, which was not the demeanor of a proper daughter-in-law of the Yang family.

She knew the logic, but when she said she was being dramatic, the hurt and bitterness in her heart were indescribable.

"Yang Cheng, did you hear what Yingying said?" Yang Cheng's mother, disregarding their feelings, urged her son directly, "Quickly apologize to He Chen!"

"Mom!!!" Yang Cheng first looked at Wang Ying, then at He Chen who was smiling without saying a word, then at Xie Qiao, Xu Lin, and the countless gossipy eyes around them. He really couldn't bring himself to apologize.

He has never been so humiliated!
He couldn't accept that he had embarrassed himself like this.

Why!

Just because He Chen wanted to create a "Moment of Fame in Journalism"?
As for?
Can He Chen post it?
"Yang Cheng! Apologize!" came an even sterner voice from Yang Cheng's mother on the other end of the phone.

He Chen watched this scene with great interest.

He was quite curious whether Yang Cheng, the young master, would apologize.

In the original storyline, Yang Cheng, the young master, was a complete waste. He clearly cared only about his childhood sweetheart, Wang Ying. When something happened to Wang Ying's family, he didn't just ignore her calls like the others, but stayed by her side.

But his companionship and persistence were just so-so.

He couldn't even buy a plane ticket to accompany Wang Ying back to England; his mother had the ticket canceled. All he could do was call and complain.

Afterwards, he wanted to try being with Wang Ying, saying that with the death of Wang Ying's father, everything had disappeared and there was no more trouble, but his mother disagreed and resolutely rejected his continued contact with Wang Ying.

Without giving any explanation, they simply let Young Master Yang tacitly accept it—you know what I mean.

He eventually became a senior investment bank executive, a model of elite achievement, truly exemplary.

At most, he would protest verbally, but in the end, he would still do as his family arranged, despite his reluctance.

So logically, if his mother were to take a hard line, he should have backed down and given in.

But this situation is different.

It's not a major life event!

Rather, it was because He Chen, this 'little rascal,' was trying to ride roughshod over him, and bully him in front of everyone. How could the hot-blooded young man tolerate that?

So even He Chen didn't know what choice Yang Cheng, whose expression kept changing, would make.

It's as useless as ever!

They were still young and impetuous, thinking that nothing mattered more than saving face!
"Yang Cheng! Apologize!" Yang Cheng's mother continued to scold and order.

She knew her son couldn't handle the pressure. "Yes, no, I'm sorry." Under his mother's command and urging, Yang Cheng finally couldn't resist his subconscious and uttered the words he thought he couldn't say. After he finished speaking, his whole face turned red.

"He Chen, did you hear that?" Yang Cheng's mother reminded her.

“I heard you.” He Chen nodded.

"Can we just let this go like this?" Yang Cheng's mother said again, "You are young people, and you became friends after a fight. There's no need to make things so awkward!"

"No!" He Chen shook his head.

"What?" Yang Cheng's mother thought she had misheard.

"Mom, he said no!" Yang Cheng was furious: "He won't accept your kindness, you saw it yourself, it's not my fault at all! He's just too arrogant!"

"Yang Cheng, stop talking!" Yang Cheng's mother was also very angry, but she didn't want her son to say anything more, as she knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

“He Chen, you said no, why? We’ve already apologized.”

“It’s simple, I’m a germaphobe!” He Chen said frankly, “There’s a lot of filth in this world, I know that, and I won’t presume to clean it up.”

Normally I can pretend I didn't see it.

But if some filth insists on showing off in front of me, my obsession with cleanliness compels me to do something.

First there was Ji Yangyang, and now there's Young Master Yang.

They can't be said to be very similar, but they are exactly the same, truly a pair of twin flowers blooming on the same stem, a beauty among twin flowers!

An apology is one thing, reporting is another!
If they stop reporting after an apology, then Ji Yangyang's father must be feeling really wronged!

He set an example for everyone by giving his own future, so that everyone can take good care of their own children and not let them ruin their lives!
If you are not even willing to do this, it only shows that you are too arrogant and haughty. How sincere is this apology?

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is!

"Wang Ying, bring Yang Cheng back!" Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng's mother decisively told Wang Ying to take her son home, and that there was no need for further communication.

No need!

Let's touch!

"Yang Cheng, let's go!" Wang Ying hung up the phone, gave He Chen a deep look, and pulled Yang Cheng out.

"Xie Qiao, I'm very disappointed in you!" He Chen ignored them and looked at the stunned Xie Qiao: "Did you tell Yang Cheng, the young master who was pursuing you, that you felt your family background, appearance, figure, knowledge, and education were all ordinary, while he was extraordinary, and that you felt you were not good enough for him?"

"..." Xie Qiao was embarrassed.

She did think that way before.

After all, this is Yang Cheng, the young master of the Yang family.

But now that Young Master Yang has clashed with He Chen, and has been called a dog and trash by He Chen, it would be too self-degrading for her to say that she still feels unworthy of being considered trash by He Chen.

But if she says she's worthy of him, then Yang Cheng is already a dog in He Chen's eyes, and she's worthy of that dog Yang Cheng? That sounds so awkward.

She is so difficult!

"Qiaoqiao, you deserve anyone!" He Xiaozhou couldn't help but encourage Xie Qiao, also trying to smooth things over for her.

“That’s right!” He Chen affirmed, nodding: “You, Xie Qiao, took the exam for two years, and you got into Tsinghua and Peking University through your own hard work!”
Students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities have always been called the pride of heaven!

So what's the point of you belittling yourself like this?
A top student from Tsinghua or Peking University, does he really feel deep down that he is not good enough for a parasite, a rat, and a good-for-nothing?

Is that what you mean?
