Chapter 392: Do You Think that An Apology Will Undo the Damage?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Ling had been going to the bank for the past two days in hopes of mortgaging the family company for a loan. Gu Mian was not in the mood to attend classes at the moment, so she joined her older brother as he dealt with the bank.
The siblings had been waiting in the bank for almost three hours, but they had yet seen the bank director who could process their loan request.
“Mian Mian, why are you here?” Tang Ming was here to take out a loan today. When he spotted the Gu siblings, he immediately walked towards them.
Gu Mian saw him and immediately stood up. Gu Ling stood up as well. He furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at the smart-looking, well-dressed man before him. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man by his collar!
His action had startled Gu Mian. Tang Ming, too, furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at Gu Ling. Gu Ling roared furiously, “Lu Ming, you son of a b*tch! How dare you come back! Do you know how devastated Mian Mian was when you left without saying goodbye that year? She almost died because of you, do you know that!?”
Gu Mian quickly walked over and tried to pull her older brother away. She said anxiously, “Big brother, calm down. It’s already in the past.”
“Do you think that an apology will undo the damage? Would it take away all the suffering you endured all these years?”
“Mian Mian, what happened to you the year I left?” Lu Ming looked towards the young woman beside him sadly.
“Would you like to know? The day you left was your birthday, my silly little sister kept holding onto the present she bought you and looked for you frantically. She almost died that day!”
“Mian Mian… I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
*Clap, clap, clap…*
There was a series of claps. Gu Ling finally let go of Tang Ming and looked towards the entrance. When the three of them saw Tang Zui at the door, their expressions darkened.
“How entertaining. Director Sun, I didn’t expect to witness a drama for free at your bank.” Tang Zui was clapping with a smirk on his face, but the look in his eyes was chillingly cold.
“We try our best to serve all our customers. It’s our job, Boss Tang,” Director Sun said with a smile, trying to suck up to Tang Zui.
“Director Sun, I thought you weren’t at the bank?” Gu Ling furrowed his brows.
Gu Mian had a realization now. The bank director had been here the whole time. He just did not want to let them take out a loan.
Embarrassed, she lowered her head. She did not want to see the look on Tang Zui’s face.
Tang Zui fixed his gaze on Gu Mian the entire time. He suddenly turned and walked away. All he could think about was what Gu Ling had said earlier on.
‘”The year you left without saying goodbye, Mian Mian was devastated!
‘”She almost died because of you!
‘”She kept holding onto the present she bought you and looking for you frantically!”‘
When Tang Zui reached the main hall, he suddenly kicked a trash can out of his way furiously. The trash can flew away and hit the ground with a loud thud.
Director Sun was so frightened that he could not stop shivering. Tang Zui lifted his hand and jerked on the director’s tie. He ordered, “Let Gu Ling take out the loan!”
“Ah? But the Gu family doesn’t fulfil the conditions for a loan… I mean, yes sir!”
“I’ll take on the responsibility if anything bad happens!” Tang Zui said expressionlessly and immediately left.
Tang Zui was sitting in the car and watching as Gu Mian walked out of the bank. Tang Ming chased after her, dragged her away and shoved her into his car. Tang Zui suddenly smiled, but the smile on his face was awfully grim.

When Su Qianxun went downstairs, the first thing she saw was Long Sijue’s car. She stopped in her tracks instinctively. She hesitated for a second, but she immediately continued walking towards the car and got into the vehicle.
The car drove off. The two of them still did not speak a word to each other. Long Sijue leaned back in his seat and was resting with his eyes closed. The atmosphere in the car was so oppressively unbearable it was almost suffocating.
Tonight, Long Sijue did not take her back to Jin Garden. Instead, they went to his private condominium. After the car stopped, Long Sijue got out of the car before her. He did not take a look at the young woman during the entire car ride…
