Chapter 991: Resignation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Until Yue Ling walked out and said, “Everyone, listen to me for a moment.”
After all, his status was extraordinary. Everyone quietened down to listen to him.
“Everyone, my mother’s actions back then have led to such serious consequences. The results now serve as an explanation. She will not file an appeal after that. Her property cannot compensate for sufficient damage, so I will use the family fortune to make it up for her.”
Yue Ling’s words gave everyone a further explanation.
Everyone’s emotions were finally appeased.
He continued, “Seeing such a situation, I deeply regret that I never knew such a thing and didn’t give everyone an explanation in time. If I had known… I wouldn’t have let my mother do such a thing. I wouldn’t have let my daughter do such a thing. As a son and father, I should have taken these responsibilities no matter what. At this point, even if I didn’t know, I can’t absolve myself from the blame.”
He reached out and pulled off the name tag on his chest. “I hereby take the blame and resign. After this, I will never set foot in the imperial capital or any public industry in S Nation. Here, once again, I apologize to everyone.”
He was supposed to be the president of Country S. To take the blame and resign was indeed a very serious punishment.
Initially, everyone still had a lot of criticisms against him. Since he could do this and chose this outcome, no one could say anything else.
Yue Feng walked to Yue Ling’s side and said, “Brother, why do you have to…”
“Someone in the Yue family has to come out and take the blame. It’s a big deal. I can’t say I’m completely blameless. Let’s leave it at that,” Yue Ling said in a low voice. “It’s also time for me to watch over Yue Liang. I’ve been so focused on my work all these years that I’ve rarely done my duty to my family. This is my karma.”
He turned back to Yue Liang and said, ” Yue Liang, you should also take the blame and resign. Go home first.”
Although Yue Liang was unwilling, he could not resist at this juncture.
As for Yue Xiu, she had already been implicated by Old Madam Yue. Many things were related to her, so she had to take responsibility.
Yue Ling left with Yue Liang.
Yue Feng couldn’t help but shake his head. Madam Yue said softly, “I think it’s a good idea for Big Brother to do this. That child, Yue Liang, was already a little like Old Madam when he was focused on climbing up the ranks. Now, Big Brother has let go of everything to discipline him well. The Yue family won’t have to suffer like before.”
“Yes. I just hope that their family can be more peaceful in the future.”
“Let’s go back too.” Madam Yue glanced at Shi Jin. “I just hope this matter doesn’t affect Shi Jin.”
Shi Jin walked up to Gu Jingyuan and said with a smile, “Brother, congratulations!”
“It’s thanks to your help this time. It’s my turn to say thank you.”
Shi Jin saw that he was a little distracted and knew that his mind was on Liang Xinran. She smiled and pointed over. “Xinran went over there. Go over and take a look.”
Gu Jingyuan nodded and immediately walked over.
Li Nan walked over, his face relaxed. “Shi Jin.”
“Uncle, you’ve finally been vindicated.”
“Yes, my wish is fulfilled. The Li family will no longer be humiliated because of me.” Li Nan smiled. “Most importantly, those victims and their families will also be able to receive compensation and an explanation. Although after so many years, these compensation is not as important to them as a healthy body, it’s better than nothing. It’s also a comfort to them.”
“Yeah.” Shi Jin glanced at the victims and their families. They looked agitated, some of them waiting to apologize to Li Nan.
Over the years, their resentment had caused the Li family to suffer a lot in the capital. They were also the ones who had scolded Li Nan. However, it just so happened that the Li family had been helping them find justice.
Many people lined up to apologize and thank Li Nan, but Li Nan did not want to speak to them. He only felt that this was what he was supposed to do. It would not change because of the scolding or the thanks.
“Uncle, will you come back to stay after this?” Shi Jin asked.
“Not anymore. My laboratory has taken root overseas, and my students are all there,” Li Nan said with a smile. “But since I’m working with you and Xiuyuan, I’ll come back more often.”
“Sure, let Eldest Senior Brother join us. I’ll treat him to authentic Country S dishes.”
Li Nan smiled at her. “And remember to contact me more often. Don’t forget when you get busy.”
“Yes!”

Gu Jingyuan ran towards Liang Xinran.
She was about to get into the van.
“Xinran!”
Liang Xinran stopped in her tracks.
Gu Jingyuan had already run over in a hurry. His voice was mixed with slight panting.
“Xinran, shall we have dinner tonight?”
Just as Liang Xinran was about to speak, her manager had already answered for her, “Sure, I happen to have something to do and the driver wants to give me a ride. Xinran, just give me the car, okay?”
How could Liang Xinran not know what her manager was thinking?
She hesitated only a moment, and the manager had closed the car door.
Liang Xinran could only turn to face Gu Jingyuan. “Don’t you have a lot of things to do? Although the case is over, you still have a lot of things to do at your company, right? Glasses Boy and Liang Jing also have a lot of work waiting for you to arrange.”
Gu Jingyuan looked at her with a faint smile. “You still care about me, don’t you?”
“Who cares about you? Gu Jingyuan, stop being so arrogant!”
“Okay, okay, okay. I was talking nonsense.” Gu Jingyuan looked at her seriously. “I’ve already booked a restaurant. Take it that I’m officially apologizing to you, okay?”
Liang Xinran pursed her lips.
“Let’s go.” Gu Jingyuan held her hand and got into his car.
Liang Xinran was lowering her head to fasten her seatbelt when suddenly, a bouquet of flowers appeared in front of her.
She stared. It was a full bouquet of phoenix flowers.
Phoenix flowers were actually not easy to raise, and it was also very difficult to see them in flower shops. Previously, Liang Xinran had asked many flower shops, but none of them had them, but at this moment, she received a large bouquet.
“Xinran. Do you remember the first time I sent you back? You said a phoenix flower had fallen into your arms. You said it was fate between us, and I believe it was. Xinran, please take it.”
His voice was low and reverent.
Liang Xinran blinked slightly and recalled the nervous and happy feeling she had when she first met him.
The happiness and joy that followed were real, too. He’d brought her far more than she’d ever imagined.
Despite herself, she reached for it.
Gu Jingyuan smiled. “Xinran, do you forgive me now?”
