Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, then, with her head lowered, she whispered, "Yes... it is..."
"Then apologize," Susu said.
Her words were succinct, without any beating around the bush.
"Earlier... when you asked me... if it was because of..."
In contrast, Wang Qing was hesitant, speaking in fits and starts.
"If you want to apologize to me, you need to lift your head and look into my eyes, that's sincere apology. Our teacher taught us that."
Wang Qing felt ashamed and struggled to lift her head.
Hearing this, Qin Yuhuan said to Wang Qing, "Mom, you're an adult now, you need to take responsibility. Admitting a mistake is not scary, what's shameful is not daring to admit a mistake!"
Heeding her son's words, Wang Qing gritted her teeth, raised her head, and faced Susu, reorganizing her language, "Susu, I'm sorry..."
Her voice was still very soft and light.
"What are you apologizing for?" Susu asked.
You need to know where the mistake was so you can correct it.
