"Yes, brother, it's just an apology. It's not a big deal; after all, we are family," Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan urged.
Zhou Pingyong's body trembled slightly; he simply couldn't swallow the idea of apologizing to his sister.
"You don't need to apologize to me. Even if you do, it won't change anything," Zhou Rongli coldly responded while Zhou Pingyong was still struggling with his emotions.
" Zhou Pingyong, kneel down," the old lady suddenly stood up and stepped in front of Zhou Pingyong, kicking him sharply on the calf.
Inside, Zhou Pingyong was already crumbling. He hesitated and struggled, but under the old lady's forceful command, he reluctantly knelt before Zhou Rongli.
Zhou Rongli frowned slightly but remained seated. In fact, three years ago, Zhou Pingyong should have knelt to apologize. Last time, the old lady intervened, and Zhou Rongli didn't make him kneel. Now, three years later, it was the old lady herself who forced him down. Life truly is unpredictable.
Jiang Chen and Zeng Xianyi chatted for a while before returning to Yue Hui's private room. As they pushed the door open, they saw Zhou Pingyong kneeling in front of their mother.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen return, everyone's gaze turned toward him.
"The auction is about to begin, Miss Yue. Please ask those who are not involved to leave," Jiang Chen said calmly.
Yue Hui nodded and directly issued an eviction order to Zhou Pingyong and the others.
Though feeling humiliated, Zhou Pingyong and his companions dared not utter a word. They finally understood that no matter how hard they tried, they could never compete with Jiang Chen.
Zhou Pingyong's face burned with shame; he had boasted just yesterday about reporting Jiang Chen, full of confidence—how ridiculous that must have seemed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Zhou Rongli, your son is impressive, but he has no right to humiliate me like this. Ha! I won't apologize to you. Do whatever you want; if I even frown, then I'm not a man," Zhou Pingyong declared angrily as he stood up and stormed out.
As Zhou Pingyong made his dramatic exit, the air seemed to freeze for a moment before Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan were the first to speak.
Their elder brother showed such boldness, yet they did not dare follow suit.
"Uh, Zhou Rong Li, don't take it personally; he's just that kind of person," Zhou Pingming said with a forced smile.
"Aren't you just like him?" Zhou Rongli replied with a cold laugh.
"I was misled by my brother before; that's why I had a biased view of you. It wasn't my true intention; I was pressured by him," Zhou Pingming said earnestly.
"Me too, Zhou Rong Li. Please don't blame us; we are all family," Zhou Pingnan chimed in.
"Are you done?" Zhou Rongli asked.
"Uh, yes," Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan replied awkwardly.
"Then leave," Zhou Rongli waved her hand tiredly.
"Then, then Zhou Rongli, have you forgiven us?" Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan asked cautiously.
"I don't see the need to hold a grudge against you, nor do I find it entertaining to play games with you," Zhou Rongli replied ambiguously.
Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan felt utterly humiliated this time. Despite their humble demeanor, it seemed that Zhou Rongli was still unwilling to forgive them. With no other choice, they could only leave the private room anxiously, feeling lost and uncertain. Without Zhou Rongli's forgiveness, their days ahead would likely be filled with dread and torment.
