Chapter 559: Fernina's Apology
At this moment, when Villette left to distribute the finishing work, Linnie, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly took a deep breath, mustered up all his courage, and stepped forward.
He looked at Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun with some hesitation before he said, "Ying, Paimeng, and Mr. Shao Yun... I wonder if I could take up a little of your time and let me talk to you for a few words?"
Shao Yun noticed that Lin Ni took the initiative to come over and talk to him. His expression instantly became a little cold, but he still asked politely: "What's wrong?"
Linnie seemed very nervous, fiddling with his hands unconsciously, not knowing where to put them.
He looked at everyone with an apologetic look on his face, and stammered to explain: "I'm really sorry, we concealed something from you before and did not tell you our true identities."
"However, please believe that we did not do this out of malice, but for unspeakable reasons."
Shao Yun extended his right hand expressionlessly and interrupted Lini.
"That's enough, Linny. Listen, we don't want anything to do with you Fatui. Let's stop here. We have more urgent matters to deal with."
Linnie couldn't help but be stunned. He widened his eyes slightly and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Are we no longer friends?"
Shao Yun sneered with contempt and asked, "Friends? Humph, tell me, when did we become what you call friends?"
Seeing this, Lin Ni quickly raised his hand and made a toasting gesture to awaken Shao Yun's memory.
"That time at Helu Port! Besides, I never harmed you from the beginning to the end. Are you going to be so heartless just because I belong to the Fatui?"
Ying suddenly interrupted and said, "I don't have any good feelings towards you Fatui."
As he spoke, Ying recalled how the Fatui captured a child at Vimo Manor to lure out Lanaro, how they injured Dishia twice, and how they used Jade for human experiments!
These things left a very deep shadow on her, making it difficult for her to have any good feelings towards the entire Fatui.
As for Young Master "Tartaria", it was entirely because of the good impression he left when he was at his best time to speak, plus the factor of his younger brother Tok.
Otherwise, she didn't want to talk to Tartaglia.
Linny was naturally aware of the image of the Fatui in the eyes of the public. It could not be said that they were loved by everyone, but they could only be said to be avoided by everyone.
However, he still tried his best to explain, hoping to leave a good impression on the person in front of him.
"I know about the various disputes you had with the Fatui during your journey. Just hearing this name will make you unhappy."
"But the Fools are a very large organization, and the executive officers all have very different personalities, and what they want to do is completely different."
Shao Yun rudely interrupted Lini's explanation and asked, "So you want us to pan for gold in the cesspool!"
Faced with Shao Yun's intense reaction, Lin Ni knew in his heart that it was he who concealed his true identity in the first place, which caused the other party to be so angry.
However, he still did not give up the opportunity to defend himself.
"That's not what I meant. The Fatui are indeed not clean, but please believe me, we are definitely not the Fatui you have seen! We want to save Fontaine."
Then, Linni took out the Fontaine prophecy, trying to win the sympathy of Shao Yun and others.
"You must have heard of the prophecy that all the people of Fontaine will dissolve in water! We of Hearth House are not Fontaine's enemies. We also want to save Fontaine!"
Shao Yun frowned impatiently, not wanting to hear such words that were meant to gain sympathy.
"Don't talk nonsense! What does this have to do with our hatred of the Fatui?"
In fact, Shao Yun originally wanted to blurt out something even more cruel: "What does it have to do with us if all the Fontaine people die!"
However, when Navia, Charlotte and others flashed through his mind, he finally restrained himself and moderated his words a little.
Lin Ni was stunned by the reasonable reason given by Shao Yun and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I……"
Just when Lin Ni was at a loss, Shao Yun pulled Ying and Paimeng beside him and prepared to leave.
At the same time, he did not forget to say a few words as a farewell.
"Nothing else, we'll leave first. We have more important things to do, accept Funina's apology!"
After saying this, Shao Yun quickened his pace and left without looking back.
……
Momang Palace, in Navilette's office.
That Villette brought Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng to his office.
The group sat at a specially prepared dining table, waiting for their meal.
Not long after, waiters filed in, carrying plates of mouth-watering Fontaine delicacies.
It's like a steaming cream of mushroom soup, with rich milk aroma and delicious mushroom flavor intertwined.
Next came the tempting confit duck leg, with a golden and crispy skin and tender and juicy inside.
This was followed by pieces of rich Fontaine foie gras, the mellow taste of which was intoxicating.
And lasagna filled with meat sauce...
In addition, desserts such as crystal conch cake and tangerine pancake also exude an enticing aroma.
Paimon widened his eyes as he looked at the dazzling array of delicious food in front of him, and a trace of saliva unconsciously flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!"
Seeing this, Villette made a gesture of invitation and said gently, "You're welcome. Please enjoy it."
When Paimeng heard this, she immediately threw away all her reserve. She rubbed her hands together excitedly and replied with a smile: "Hehe, then we really won't be polite!"
……
As the saying goes, after three rounds of wine, the dishes are delicious.
Paimon's stomach was already full, and because she was so full, she didn't even have the strength to get up. She could only lie there lazily, humming comfortably from time to time.
That Villette noticed that Shao Yun and his group had already eaten and drunk enough, so he asked, "Does the food suit your taste?"
Paimon gave a thumbs up and praised, "Mm, it's delicious. I feel like I can't eat dinner..."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Violet looked at Funina, who had been sitting on the reception sofa, and said, "Well, then, Ms. Funina, please start."
When Paimon heard the name "Funina", his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ah? Water God? When did she appear in this office? I didn't notice her at all!"
At this time, Funina seemed relatively low-key and restrained.
In fact, there are two main reasons why she is so quiet and unobtrusive.
First, although the trial was over and she received a large amount of legal compensation, it is undeniable that she herself was somewhat humiliated - after all, she had falsely accused Linney.
If Linnie had not revealed herself and committed the crime of espionage later, she would have lost all her face this time.
Second, she has been thinking about how to apologize.
Considering that she is the God of Water, she has never taken the initiative to admit her mistakes in all these years, so this is indeed a big challenge for her.
At this moment, when she heard that Villet specifically asked her to speak, Finina sighed in her heart, knowing that she couldn't escape what she had to face.
"understood."
Funina stood up from the reception sofa in Villette's office, walked up to Shao Yun and his group, and stopped.
In fact, before this, Funina had already pondered and brewed many words in her mind to express her apology.
However, the moment she looked up at Shao Yun, those carefully prepared fancy words disappeared without a trace.
All that was in her mind at this moment was a blank and the sincerity from the bottom of her heart.
I saw Funina clenching her slightly trembling hands tightly, looking a little panicked.
"I'm so sorry! I caused you so much trouble the day before yesterday at Hailu Port. It was my fault... I'm so sorry!"
After saying this, she immediately turned to Paimon and apologized again in a more sincere manner.
"And Miss Paimon, I'm really sorry! I definitely didn't mean to offend you at that time. Please believe me and forgive my recklessness!"
Paimon listened to Furninna's apology. After a while, she smiled and responded generously: "It's okay. I'm not angry anymore."
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and we really don't want to strain our relationship because of such a small matter. So, let's let the past be the past!"
Hearing Paimon's forgiveness so generously, Finina's anxious heart finally settled down a little, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Furninha cautiously turned her gaze towards Villette, who looked just like a child who knew she had made a mistake.
"Well, Villette, I have sincerely apologized and have been forgiven, so can I leave now? I really have something important waiting to be dealt with..."
As she spoke, Finina stretched out her slender finger and gently pointed in the direction of the door.
Navillaette nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed to let Funina leave.
"Well, Ms. Funina, you can go first."
After hearing these words, Funina ran away as if she had been granted amnesty.
In the blink of an eye, she escaped from Villette's office.
However, just after Funina left, Ying suddenly remembered something crucial.
She quickly moved closer to Shao Yun beside her and whispered to him in a low voice: "Hey! Wait a minute, don't we have something to discuss with the Water God?"
After Jing Ying's reminder, Shao Yun recalled what he had promised Wendy and Zhongli to do.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder: Is it necessary to talk to Funina about this matter? After all, even if he found Funina, she might not know the inside story.
She was devoted to "burning coal to generate electricity" to save Fontaine...
"Do you still want to do that? Now that you have your brother's plan, why do you still care about these trivial matters?" Shao Yun asked.
