Chapter 1656: Do as You Wish

He had scorned her so much just a few moments ago, yet they wanted him to apologize to Shi Xiaoya now?

Shana quietly nudged Howard. Could it be that he really did not care about his future anymore?

Right now, Han Zhuoling only stopped Cyre from choosing him for roles.

It would be hard to guarantee that Han Zhuoling would not use his own connections to stop other companies from choosing him too.

Pride and face were all illusory things. What really belonged to one was one’s own future.

There was no need to sacrifice your own future for something so trivial in the moment.

He who understands the times is a wise man. If he bent down now, his humiliation would only be momentary. It was better than a setback that would lead to total ruin.

Howard clenched his teeth, and his hatred for Lu Man deepened.

He was about to apologize to Lu Man just now. Great minds that thought alike would have just glossed over this, yet Lu Man just had to be so unyielding.

Lu Man did not even suffer any loss. Why was she joining in the fuss?!

Furthermore, Shi Xiaoya, the person who was directly involved, did not even say anything. What was Lu Man speaking up for her for?!

Didn’t she see that Shi Xiaoya didn’t have any opinions?!

This meddlesome thing!

Howard hated Lu Man to the core now. He was certain that Lu Man did this on purpose. She just wanted to embarrass him and did not want to let him off.

Howard clenched his teeth and said to Shi Xiaoya, “I’m sorry, I was rude to you.”

He glanced at Han Zhuoling. Seeing that he had no expression on his face and did not appear moved, he suppressed his emotions and continued saying, “It’s like what Shana said. I am young and impetuous, so I didn’t consider my words properly before saying them. It was immature of me to say those things to you just now.”

Howard took in a deep breath and said, “Miss Shi, please forgive me.”

How would Shi Xiaoya not be able to see the unwillingness and remorseless attitude on Howard’s face? There was no point even if she said she forgave him.

So she did not want to forgive him.

Shi Xiaoya turned to look at Han Zhuoling, seeking his approval silently.

Lu Man and Han Zhuoli watched their interaction from the side and took note of Shi Xiaoya’s subconscious reliance on Han Zhuoling.
