<h4>Chapter 241 - Empty Apology (1)</h4>


    While Xi Qian''s entrance exam was already over, Su Xiaofei had been spending most of her time reviewing as hers was fast approaching. She barely had time to keep up with what was happening around her, and refused to be distracted by the unwanted rumors circting around Ye Mingyu.


    As she buried her head in one of the books Lu Qingfeng lent for her to use, Su Xiaofei sighed and nced at the stack of books that she had yet to touch. No wonder Lu Qingfeng could be so smart at his young age. He read books more than anyone else Su Xiaofei knew in her lifetime.


    As she was pondering how to finish her studies on time, Aunty Liu announced her arrival and brought in a tray of snacks for Su Xiaofei.


    "Don''t stress yourself too much, Feifei. Even if you couldn''t remember everything, it''s enough that you understand most of the concepts of your lessons." The old woman told her as Su Xiaofei straightened up in her seat.


    "If Mama can do it, then so can I!" She dered with confidence to Aunty Liu.


    Since she had decided to take up the business and finance course like Yun Qingrong, Su Xiaofei wanted to prove that she wasn''t just someone who had a pretty face. In her past life, she hadmitted a lot of mistakes and one of those was not taking her education seriously. She wasn''t doing this to get even with Ye Mingyu, but to be a better version of herself.


    "I know you can do it, Feifei. Just believe in yourself and work hard. I have no doubt that you will be able to pass your exam." The older woman said before leaving Su Xiaofei to allow her to continue her revision.


    An hourter, Su Xiaofei finally finished her task for the day and decided to log in to her social media ount to see thetest happenings in showbiz. Her slender brow rose when she saw an article about Jiang Li publicly extending her apology towards Qin Muyao, hoping that the young actor would be able to forgive her.


    Su Xiaofei scoffed and used her new ount under the pseudonym ''queenofthestars'' as Qin Muyao''s manager to respond to Jiang Li''s public apology.


    "Apologies reestablish dignity for those you hurt. Letting the injured party know that you know it was your fault, not theirs, helps them feel better, and it helps them save face. As for Miss Jiang''s apology, it would have been better if she apologizes personally to Qin Muyao as her offenses are serious in the first ce. This public apology means nothing if Miss Jiang is only doing this to save face, rather than owning up to her own mistakes towards Qin Muyao."


    This statement from Qin Muyao''s new manager easily earned a lot of attention from theizens. Some were agreeing with Su Xiaofei while the others felt that it was too much to force Jiang Li to apologize to Qin Muyao.


    "If something you''ve done has caused pain for another person, it''s a good idea to apologize, even if whatever you did was unintentional."


    "Ms. Manager is right! Jiang Li''s apology sounds more like an excuse to me rather than remorse towards Qin Muyao!"


    "We just want you to say what you mean. Otherwise, don''t say it."


    "Jiang Li almost ruined our Qin Muyao''s life with her lies. If someone hadn''t managed to prove his innocence, just imagine what could happen to him because of her lies."


    Jiang Li''s camp didn''t respond to any of this and chose to remain silent, which only triggered the othermenters to believe that she only released a public apology to save her face and she wasn''t truly sincere with her apology.


    Su Xiaofei didn''t doubt that Jiang Li only issued an apology because she had been receiving bacsh left and right, and her Jiang family was now pressuring her to confess who truly fathered her child. The Jiang family was known to be conservative and had strictly been following traditions, and Jiang Li''s recent actions had been against their moral etiquette.


    Su Xiaofei''s attention was shifted when her phone beeped, indicating a new message. As she checked on the screen, she saw that it came from Qin Muyao.


    "Manager Su, should I also release a statement and answer her apology?" He asked.


    "No. There''s no need. I''ve already dealt with it." Came Su Xiaofei''s fast reply.


    After turning off herptop, she stretched her arms above her head and spotted the calendar on top of her desk.


    "Time sure flies." She muttered to herself as she realized that there was only a month left before her and Lu Qingfeng''s graduation, as well as his impending departure.


    The more she thought about it, the more Su Xiaofei felt sad knowing that she won''t be able to see Lu Qingfeng for a long time. She ran her hands through her hair and stared at her nk ceiling, thinking that regardless of the lifetime she was living, she was still as selfish as she could remember.


    A part of her wanted to convince Lu Qingfeng to stay and be with her, but s, she also knew how important it was for him to seed in the Lu family and theirpany. Su Xiaofei had to ept that Lu Qingfeng also had his own responsibilities to deal with, aside from looking out for her.


    Five years was a long time, and many things could happen in that span of time. Su Xiaofei wasn''t worried that Lu Qingfeng''s heart could be swayed by another woman, as she had witnessed herself how he remained loyal to her to hisst breath. She was just worried that he wouldn''t be able to avoid the assassination attempt on his life that would lead to hisa in five years time.


    "I should stop Xiao Feng from returning in five years.." Su Xiaofei made up her mind to save his life this time.
