"Vulgar and boorish..." These four words struck at the heart of Li Jinchuan's insecurities. He could ignore the accusations of Jiang Wanyi, but he could not ignore the judgment of Duan Helin, and he certainly could not disregard the reputation of the Li Family. Duan Helin’s power and influence were far beyond his ability to easily challenge.
The muscles in Li Jinchuan’s face twitched before he finally squeezed out through gritted teeth, "This matter was An'an's fault. I... I apologize on his behalf."
Hearing this, the last shred of expectation in Jiang Wanyi’s heart was extinguished. She had not expected Li Jinchuan to indulge Li Cheng'an to such an extent, even insisting on apologizing for him. She looked past Duan Helin at Li Jinchuan, her voice filled with heartache: "Correcting one's mistakes is what makes a good child. Li Jinchuan, do you intend for An'an to never learn how to take responsibility, to never learn how to say 'I'm sorry' for the rest of his life?"
