Sunlight streamed in, casting Xuan Yang in a cool, striking light. She stared straight at Huo Yuntang, waited a minute, then tugged at the corner of her mouth and stood up. "Since Miss Huo can't bring herself to apologize, we'll meet in court."
"Wait!" Huo Yuntang called her back, her composure and arrogance now gone. She frowned, locking eyes with Xuan Yang, who had turned sideways after standing. Resentment, bitterness, jealousy—all kinds of complex emotions surged within her, but ultimately they dissolved into compromise. "I'm sorry." Huo Yuntang apologized, her tone stiff and the words dry.
Xuan Yang stood upright, looking down at her for a few seconds, then raised an eyebrow slightly. "Miss Huo, an apology should have the right attitude. Do you think a simple 'I'm sorry' can make up for the harm you've caused me online? Or am I too cheap in your eyes?"
Xuan Yang didn't intend to make things difficult for her, but Huo Yuntang was too perfunctory and proud. She was the one who had caused Xuan Yang trouble and harm, yet now she seemed more wronged and pitiful, while Xuan Yang appeared aggressive. Huo Yuntang's eyes flashed with irritation; she clearly wanted to slam the table and storm off. But she held back, her eyes reddening with anger without exploding.
