1982 Humiliated, Ji Ziyin Publicly Lowered Her Head and Apologized



"We got first place together. There's no reason for you to be the only one punished." Shen Qingfeng smiled and let out a shaky breath. It seemed like he had long mentally prepared himself.

Xu Yi did not say anything, but she did not retort, making his attitude clear.

Seeing the three of them like this, most of the frustration in Qiao Nian's heart instantly dissipated, and the "don't provoke me" aura around her dissipated.

She curled her red lips into a surly smile. "Why do you think I was punished?"

Shen Qingfeng and Xue Zhu looked at each other and did not say anything.

Qiao Nian guessed it. She casually took out her phone and placed it on the experiment table. She did not sit down. Instead, she leaned against the experiment table and propped her legs up. She looked up at them and said casually, "Do you think I've been expelled?"

Xue Zhu's expression changed drastically. She was even more anxious than Qiao Nian herself. She immediately grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, "You were expelled?"

She was just saying it casually.

"Damn!" Xue Zhu cursed and waved her hand, wanting to go out and find someone to fight.

Qiao Nian grabbed her hand and stopped joking. "No, I wasn't expelled. I was just saying it casually. I guessed what you were thinking and didn't say that I was really expelled."

Xue Zhu turned around and looked at her expression carefully. Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, she felt relieved. Her heart was still beating loudly and she was a little angry. She stomped her feet and asked, "So what did the research institute say? How do they plan to deal with this matter? Don't leave us hanging anymore. I'm so anxious."

Qiao Nian indeed saw that she was anxious and wanted to tease her to liven up the atmosphere. She did not expect to make her even more anxious.

She stopped joking and looked at the three of them concisely. "Ji Ziyin will apologize to you."

What?!

Ji Ziyin would apologize to them?

Not to mention Xue Zhu, even Shen Qingfeng and Xu Yi were stunned by the outcome.

Shen Qingfeng tilted his head, looking confused. He asked for confirmation. "Qiao Nian, you said that Ji Ziyin will apologize to us? Was that what you said? Did I hear wrongly, or was that really what you said? Why would she apologize to us? She…"

Behind Ji Ziyin was the Ji family, one of the three big families of the Independent Continent.

The Ji family had been in the limelight for the past few years.

The three of them were just small fries in the eyes of others, similar to ants.

Ji Ziyin was also proud and arrogant. Not many people in the research institute could make her lower her head. Only the people in the Level 8 laboratory could catch Miss Ji's eye.

Also the few people in charge of the laboratories.

Ji Ziyin's teacher was Gu Hengbo, the person in charge of the Level 5 laboratory.

If a person in charge of a laboratory below Level 5 was not worth mentioning in front of her, they… were even less important!

Would Ji Ziyin lower her head and apologize to them?

This… Qiao Nian must be talking in her sleep.

The girl leaning against the side of the experiment table was sloppy and had a beautiful face. In the face of doubts, she only raised the corners of her eyes and was very casual.

"Don't worry, she'll apologize to you publicly."

* * *

Ji Ziyin's public apology was faster than Qiao Nian had expected.

She requested it in the morning. At noon, Ji Ziyin and the Ji family had an answer. At one o'clock when they were having a break, Ji Ziyin had already posted an apology on the intranet of the research institute.

She publicly apologized to Team 10.

She admitted to making a mistake and making a fool of herself.

She apologized 'sincerely' to all the members of Team 10, hoping that they would not take her rash actions to heart.
