CHAPTER 1270: CHAPTER 248: UTTER DEFEAT, ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE

"Miss Ji, earlier I was blind to your brilliance, I hope you can overlook my past mistakes and not take them to heart." Song Jinwen said softly, someone who had always been arrogant and rarely used such a humble tone with others. It was like the sun rising from the west; Mo Pianpian secretly winked at Yi Peilan, this woman was about to cause trouble again.

"Miss Song is genuine in her feelings, how can there be any fault?" Yun Ya leaned against Yan Song’s chest, heard these words and smiled.

"Today, Miss Ji taught me a lesson: there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. It’s best to be humble and low-profile. This time, I’ve brought it upon myself, I admit defeat, and I’m willing to apologize to Miss Ji. But as for the previous bet, I ask Miss Ji to spare me." Song Jinwen’s nails dug deeply into her palm, the pain keeping her rational. Today she lost miserably, due to her own foolish pride, her self-righteousness, and underestimating her opponents.

If forced to run naked, it would be better if she’s dead; even at the cost of her reputation, she definitely wouldn’t run naked. Disagree? Then I’ll make you agree.

These people were used to Song Jinwen’s arrogance and willfulness, when had they ever seen her so... humble, and publicly apologizing? Was this person still Song Jinwen?

Many people started doubting.

"Oh, Miss Song, were you the one who confidently made those promises before? It’s not even been an hour and you’re reneging, isn’t this... too childish?" Yi Peilan squeezed her voice, the tone mocking. Seeing Yi Peilan’s smug face, Song Jinwen wished she could pounce and scratch that face.

Yi Peilan boldly puffed out her chest, fearing nothing.

"Miss Ji, it’s my fault." Song Jinwen dropped to her knees before Chao Yunya with a thud, startling everyone: "I am willing to apologize to you, but I beg you, give me a way out."

Yun Ya hurried over to help her up: "What are you doing? You’re really putting me in an awkward position."

But Song Jinwen remained kneeling: "Miss Ji, if you promise me I’ll get up, otherwise I’ll kneel here forever."

This was a threat.

"In this light, Song Jinwen is quite pitiable. Although she provoked first, making a woman run naked is truly excessive, like a death sentence. How would she face anyone afterwards?"

"Yes, one should be forgiving, Miss Ji, please give Miss Song a way out. Forcing a woman to kneel is really...." Jiang Hanbi shook his head, sighing.

Jiang Hanbi and Dongfang Yi’s eyes met quickly in mid-air, then casually looked away.

Was she the one forcing Song Jinwen to kneel? Was she the one forcing her to bet? What did any of this have to do with her? Mercy? How? It’s easy to talk when you’re not the one in trouble.

"Jinwen, get up quickly, Miss Ji won’t trouble you." Dongfang Yi walked over, pretending to help Song Jinwen up.

Song Jinwen just stared at Ji Yunya, her back to everyone, face pale as paper, gaze stubborn and cold, mixed with hints of provocation and sarcasm. She was doing this deliberately; aren’t you kind? I’ll see what you do.

Yun Ya sighed: "Miss Song, why put yourself through this? Get up, I won’t argue with you."

Song Jinwen’s lips curled with a smug smile, she knew it, with this woman’s hypocritical nature, as long as she showed weakness, the other would boast of her generosity and kindness, sure enough... Once she got through this ordeal, she would take revenge for today’s humiliation, a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

"Miss Ji, you’re really a good person...." Song Jinwen did not forget to flatter her with a few words.

Dongfang Yi thought that after this encounter, Song Jinwen finally became enlightened, and knows how to use tactics.

"However, the bet you just made with Miss Yi, even if I don’t want to fuss over it, I understand the principle of a gentleman’s promise being hard to break. What use is there in asking me? Even if I don’t dwell on it, can Miss Song pass her own inner trial?" You want to dig a hole for me to fall into, but I’ve already dug a hole for burying you.

Song Jinwen froze. What did she mean? She had a bad feeling, sure enough, Ji Yunya suddenly looked at Yi Peilan and said: "Miss Yi, the bet was made between you and Miss Song. I felt it was inappropriate from the start, but couldn’t stop you. It was Miss Yi who proposed the bet; as they say, the bell must be rung by the one who tied the knot. Miss Song asking me is futile, better to ask Miss Yi."

Yes, the bet was initially proposed by Yi Peilan, and Song Jinwen quickly agreed with excitement. Ji Yunya hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, it was Song Jinwen who forced Ji Yunya to agree; now Song Jinwen lost and wants to back out, asking Ji Yunya what does it have to do with Ji Yunya? If anyone should be asked, it should be Yi Peilan, right?
