322: Then prove it to me.

“How can you still be so arrogant and unrepentant at this point?” Pinya looked at Nala with disdain and couldn't help but say, “Since you have no sincerity in apologizing, there’s nothing more for us to discuss.”

With that, Pinya turned to signal Su Cha: “Husband, put away the bets on the table.”

Pinya had long disapproved of Nala and felt that such a person was not worthy of sympathy.

Since Nala had no sincerity in apologizing, there was no need to waste any more time with her.

“No, absolutely not!” Songphong instantly panicked, rushing forward to stop Su Cha, who was about to collect the bets, his face full of pleading.

“Su Cha, good boy, please don’t call the police! It’s all Second Uncle’s fault, Second Uncle shouldn’t have taken sides, shouldn’t have helped Atapong bully you. Second Uncle apologizes to you here, I beg your forgiveness, please don’t take it to heart!”

Songphong bowed repeatedly to Su Cha as he spoke.

He was truly scared now; as long as Su Cha didn’t call the police, he would do anything.

Su Cha’s expression softened slightly, seeing Songphong’s sincere attitude.

Songphong was an elder after all, and since he had apologized so humbly, Su Cha couldn't be too excessive.

Seeing that Su Cha had no intention of continuing to collect the bets, Songphong let out a huge sigh of relief, then quickly turned to Nala and said sternly, “Nala, you sincerely apologize to Su Cha right now! If you dare to throw another tantrum, I won’t let you off!”

Nala looked at Songphong’s stern gaze and then at the disdainful looks from the people around her, and the sense of humiliation in her heart grew stronger.

She knew she had no other choice but to apologize properly. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger and humiliation in her heart, walked up to Su Cha, and her attitude was much more sincere than before, her tone also much softer.

“Little brother, I was wrong just now. I have a bad temper and speak roughly. I shouldn't have argued with you, nor should I have yelled about calling the police. I apologize to you here, and I apologize to everyone.”

Nala thought to herself, “Forget it, a man can bend and stretch. I'll apologize properly now and calm this matter down.”

“When I have a chance in the future, I’ll get my revenge on Su Cha and these people. At that time, she would definitely make them pay the price.”

The surrounding people, seeing that Nala had finally apologized properly, also breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss.

“That’s more like it, she finally said something reasonable!”

“Why didn't she do this earlier? She had to make such a fuss, getting everyone agitated.”

“Exactly, apologizing isn’t shameful. Knowing your mistake and correcting it is much better than acting like a rogue.”

“I hope she’s truly remorseful this time and won’t fall back into her old habits later.”

Lei Jun watched this scene. Although Nala’s apology seemed sincere, the unwillingness in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.

But it didn’t matter, as long as she softened now, things could continue to move forward.

Next, it was Atapong’s turn to apologize.

Nala’s anger hadn’t subsided at all after her apology.

She turned to Atapong.

“Don’t you want Su Cha to forgive you? I’ve already apologized, shouldn’t you apologize too?”

Nala thought, “Why should I be the only one to apologize? This isn't just my fault; Atapong also played a part. He must also apologize to Su Cha, and he must also taste this humiliation.”

Atapong was instantly speechless by Nala’s words.

He knew Nala was right; since Nala had already apologized, he had to apologize too.

But to apologize to Su Cha, that good-for-nothing he used to not even look at directly, he was truly unwilling and felt extremely humiliated.

However, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet, walk up to Su Cha, lower his head, and say in a humble tone.

“Little brother, today’s matter is all my fault. I shouldn’t have forced you to gamble cards in front of relatives, nor should I have shown off and looked down on you and Big Uncle in front of them.

I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I beg you, please give me another chance.

Don’t worry, brother will definitely change in the future and will never be like before.”

Su Cha didn’t speak, he just turned around, picked up a bottle of wine from the nearby table, poured a full glass, pushed it in front of Atapong, and said coldly, “Then prove it to me!”

An apology was just words and completely untrustworthy. He wanted Atapong to prove with actions that he truly knew his mistake. He wanted Atapong to offer a toast of apology to his father, so that his father would receive the respect he deserved.

The people around, seeing Su Cha’s actions, became anxious and tried to persuade Su Cha,

“Su Cha, you absolutely must not be soft-hearted! Atapong and the others aren’t truly remorseful; they just want to get their lost money back and renege on their debt!”

“That’s right, Su Cha, you can’t be a woman of mercy! If you let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless trouble! Being kind to enemies is being cruel to yourself, you absolutely cannot let Atapong go!”

“People like Atapong will never truly repent. The reason he’s so humble now is because he’s scared, scared of losing his house and factory. Once this matter passes, he’ll definitely become as arrogant and overbearing as before. Su Cha, don’t be foolish! Bad people are very good at bending and stretching!”

These people all knew very well that someone like Atapong would never truly repent; his current submission and apology were all forced.

Atapong looked at the wine glass in front of him, hesitating.

He knew that Su Cha was asking him to offer a toast of apology.

But to offer a toast of apology to Wenchalong, that good-for-nothing, he was truly unwilling.

Wenchalong had been farming his whole life, never amounting to much, and used to be like a grandson in front of him. Now he was actually being asked to offer a toast of apology to him; this was simply a great humiliation!

“What? Didn’t you say you would change?” Su Cha looked at Atapong coldly, his tone full of sarcasm, “Asking you to offer a toast and apologize to my dad, is that so difficult for you?”

Atapong’s anger instantly flared up.

He felt that Su Cha was going too far, humiliating him like this!

He was trembling with rage, unable to utter a word.

He really wanted to smash the wine glass in Su Cha’s face and then turn and leave. But he couldn’t; if he did that, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he wouldn’t be able to keep his house or factory.

“Atapong, put yourself in my shoes. No matter how much I disliked your family before, I never disrespected you, did I?” Su Cha continued.

“I never humiliated you in front of everyone like you did, nor did I force you to do things you didn’t want to do. Now I’ll just ask you one thing: can you offer this toast?”

Atapong still hesitated, not reaching for the wine glass. His internal struggle grew more intense; on one side was his dignity, on the other, his interests. He didn’t know how to choose.

“Hurry up! What are you dawdling for!” Songphong was extremely anxious, urging Atapong, “Quickly pick up the wine glass and offer a toast of apology to your Big Uncle!”
