Tofu Beauty Apologizes

Belle linked arms with Lily Evans as they walked home together. Halfway there, Tofu Beauty suddenly jumped out and blocked their way.

Tofu Beauty had previously tried to frame Lucky, so Lily Evans had no fondness for her. Seeing Tofu Beauty approach, Lily was instantly on guard.

Tofu Beauty carried a basket and wore a floral cotton blouse, her demeanor quite flirtatious. She greeted Lily Evans with a bright smile, "Lily, coming back from Cynthia Wu's place?"

"Yes, what is it?" Lily Evans didn't want to waste words with Tofu Beauty and pulled Belle along to keep walking.

"Hey, Lily, I need to talk to you alone—just for a moment." Tofu Beauty grabbed Lily's arm, her face earnest.

Lily Evans noticed the passing villagers watching. Not wanting to make a scene with Tofu Beauty, she glanced at Belle and said, "Belle, you go ahead. I'll be home soon."

Belle sighed and walked off, carrying the empty food container by herself.

With Belle gone, Lily Evans turned to Tofu Beauty. "Go ahead, what do you want?"

Tofu Beauty said, "Lily, I lost my head before and did something wrong to you. I've felt anxious and guilty these days and wanted to find a chance to apologize. I hope you can forgive me."

Of course, Tofu Beauty was referring to that time she set her sights on Lucky and went to the village chief to falsely accuse Lucky of sneaking into her house and trying to force himself on her.

Belle linked arms with Lily Evans, and the two walked home together. Halfway there, Tofu Beauty suddenly jumped out and blocked their path.

Tofu Beauty had previously tried to frame Lucky, so Lily Evans didn't have a good impression of her. Seeing Tofu Beauty approach, Lily was very wary.

Tofu Beauty carried a basket and wore a floral cotton blouse, looking quite charming. She greeted Lily Evans with a big smile, "Lily, coming back from Cynthia Wu's place?"

"Yes, what is it? Do you need something?" Lily Evans didn't want to waste words with Tofu Beauty and pulled Belle along to keep walking.

"Hey, Lily, I need to talk to you alone—just for a moment." Tofu Beauty grabbed Lily's arm, her face earnest.

Belle, you go ahead. I'll catch up with you soon." Lily Evans said to Belle, then turned to Tofu Beauty, "What is it?"

Belle sighed and left, carrying her empty lunchbox.

Lily Evans frowned, "What do you need?" She didn't want to get involved with Tofu Beauty.

Tofu Beauty said, "Lily, I was blinded by greed before and did something wrong to you. I've felt uneasy and guilty these days, and wanted to find a chance to apologize. I hope you can forgive me."

Tofu Beauty was referring to her previous attempt to frame Lucky, running to the village chief to accuse Lucky of breaking into her house and assaulting her.

Although that incident didn't end up affecting Lucky, it didn't mean Lily Evans had forgiven Tofu Beauty.

Tofu Beauty suddenly coming to apologize? Lily Evans wasn't naïve enough to think she'd had a change of heart. That woman was cunning—who knew what scheme she was plotting now.

Lily Evans replied perfunctorily, "Alright, I get it. What's past is past, let's not bring it up again. Just don't bother my family anymore."

With that, Lily Evans turned to catch up with Belle.

"Lily, don't go!" Tofu Beauty grabbed Lily Evans again, "Lily, are you not accepting my apology? If you're still angry, I'll kneel and kowtow until you forgive me—how about that?"
