2220 If You Can't Empathize, At Least Don't Forgive on Behalf of Others



Cao Yanhua had picked up Ji Ziyin's call before entering the laboratory.

He hung up and walked into the laboratory, but he still could not find that familiar figure after looking around.

He walked to Han Cheng's side and asked in surprise, "Little Junior Sister isn't here today? Why don't I see her?"

Qiao Nian was not the only one who did not come to the laboratory. Xie Xinyao did not come, either.

"Oh, Qiao Nian is on leave," Han Cheng replied. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something and looked up at him. "Why are you looking for her?"

"There's something." Cao Yanhua could hide his thoughts. He had a good relationship with Han Cheng, so he told him about Ji Ziyin calling him to help pass on the apology.

At first, Han Cheng was still smiling as he listened patiently.

Until Cao Yanhua finished speaking.

His smile disappeared, and he looked at Cao Yanhua seriously. "Are you planning to help Ji Ziyin apologize to Qiao Nian?"

Cao Yanhua had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter. "I'm just helping to pass the message."

Han Cheng interrupted him and asked seriously, "Have you ever thought about why Ji Ziyin didn't apologize to Qiao Nian herself?"

Cao Yanhua did not think too much about it.

Han Cheng placed the test tube on the rack and turned on the tap to wash his hands. He then turned off the tap and said firmly, "Because she knows Qiao Nian's personality very well. She won't bother with her!

"I've long realized that Qiao Nian is a cold person on the outside but warm on the inside.

"She rarely takes people to heart, but look at the people she cares about. For example, the few people from Team 10—Shen Qingfeng, Xue Zhu, and Xu Yi. How do you think she treated them?"

Cao Yanhua suddenly remembered that Xie Xinyao had made a fuss about competing with Qiao Nian previously. Qiao Nian risked losing her semiconductor research project qualifications to give Shen Qingfeng, Xue Zhu, and Xu Yi a chance to prove themselves. He immediately understood.

"Ji Ziyin didn't apologize in person, firstly, because she can't bring herself to do it, and secondly, she knows very well that it's useless for her to look for Qiao Nian.

"Her thoughts are very obvious. She wants you to apologize to Qiao Nian on her behalf. If you do this, Qiao Nian might forget about it on your account." Han Cheng did not finish his sentence. "Of course, your face might not be so valuable as well."

Han Cheng glanced at him and swallowed his words. Then, he continued, "Qiao Nian treats us as friends. Even if we can't help her, at least don't crack wise remarks at the side.

"It's easy for her to just ask for forgiveness."

Han Cheng had heard a lot of gossip and had many connections. He also knew more information than Cao Yanhua. "I heard that the person from the Xie family almost couldn't be saved in the hospital the day before yesterday. It was Qiao Nian who found Elder Zhong from the Pharmacy Association to save her. It was extremely dangerous and could be considered a narrow escape.

"I heard from Shen Qingfeng that Qiao Nian has a good relationship with that person from the Xie family. She's no different from family. After such a thing happened, you're going to apologize to Qiao Nian on Ji Ziyin's behalf and ask Qiao Nian to let her off." Han Cheng asked him, "If it were you, would you be able to let it go?"

Cao Yanhua contemplated.

Han Cheng patted his shoulder. His tone softened. "If you can't empathize, at least don't forgive on behalf of others."

Cao Yanhua was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath. Apart from feeling ashamed, he had already made up his mind.

"I'll reject Ji Ziyin."

"Mm."

Han Cheng watched him go out to make a call.

He thought for a moment and sent a message to Qiao Nian. He briefly told the girl about Ji Ziyin finding Cao Yanhua to plead for help.

As for how Qiao Nian planned to deal with it, he did not ask.

He only told Qiao Nian that Ji Ziyin was already starting to panic.
