Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 781: Chapter 769: Su Manhan Formally Apologizes to Qiao Jing

Hearing Su Manhan say this, Zhan Yao also spoke up, "Let's not stand here any longer, the meal has been ready

for a while, let's go eat."

Knowing that Qiao Jing was coming back, they had someone start preparing the meal early in the morning. A

dazzling line-up filled the table, and now it was still steaming hot.

Thus, the group moved from the hall to the dining room.

Zhan Yuanshan sat at the head of the table, with Qiao Jing on his left and Su Manhan on his right.

Zhan Qipei’s seat was right next to Qiao Jing, Zhan Yao next to Su Manhan, and the remaining seat was for Zhan

Nanging.

The dishes on the table were a dazzling line-up, replete with color, aroma, and flavor, making one’s appetite

surge just by looking at them.

After everyone took their seats, they began to eat.

Qiao Jing had just taken a bite when Su Manhan started eagerly piling food on her plate.

"Qiao Jing, try this. This dish is made from pure green ingredients, with no additives. It's grown in our own estate,

healthy and delicious, and absolutely harmless to the body."

Just thinking about the way Qiao Jing called her "Mom" earlier filled Su Manhan with joy, and she couldn't stop

beaming with happiness.

Qiao Jing tasted it and nodded in response, "It really does taste good."

One could tell that the dish truly was purely natural and green. It seemed the Zhan family estate was quite well-

maintained.

Seeing this, Zhan Yao also picked up a piece of chicken for Qiao Jing, and explained it to her just like Su Manhan

had.

"The chicken used in this Kung Pao chicken comes from our estate’s farm as well. It has been raised without any

hormones and fed grain purchased from the countryside, so the meat is both fragrant and tender, and it has a

high nutritional value. Give it a try."

Qiao Jing had just tasted it and before she could swallow, Zhan Nanging didn’t want to be outdone and picked a

piece of fish for her, carefully removing the bones.

"Qiao Jing, try this sweet and sour carp. The carp is caught from the fishpond in our estate, carefully raised by

specialists. The meat is tender and succulent—it’s tender without being dry, delicious and nutritious."

No sooner had Zhan Nanging finished speaking, than Su Manhan chimed in, "Yes, eat more fish. It's good for

both you and the baby in your belly. Try this shrimp, and also these ribs, and have sbeef too..."

The others kept piling food onto Qiao Jing’s plate until her bowl piled up like a small mountain.

This feeling of being cared for touched Qiao Jing once again.

She realized how fortunate it is to be cared for and protected by family!

Qiao Jing’s gaze swept across the people at the table, looking at their smiling faces and kind expressions, her

heart warmed, and she sincerely said, "Thank you."

Putting down her chopsticks, Su Manhan looked at Qiao Jing with affection in her eyes and said with a smile,

"Silly child, why say thank you? We're all family, no need for such words—they only make us feel like strangers."

As she said this, Su Manhan actually felt somewhat guilty in her heart.

When Qiao Jing first cto the Zhan family, they had preconceptions, thinking she was just an unsophisticated

country girl, so they looked at Qiao Jing with prejudice from the beginning, looking down on her, often mocking

her, targeting her...

Thinking of all the things she had done before, Su Manhan’s sense of guilt deepened.

Moreover, throughout this whole time, she had not properly apologized to Qiao Jing for her past behavior.

Although she had mentioned it a few times after Qiao Jing had saved her before, she had not been very clear at

the time.

Thinking this, Su Manhan made a decision to seize the moment, while everyone was gathered, to formally

apologize to Qiao Jing in front of everyone.

She straightened her expression and began, "Since everyone is here, | have a few words I'd like to say."

As soon as she said this, the several people at the dining table all turned their gaze to Su Manhan.

Then, looking at Qiao Jing, Su Manhan said solemnly, "Qiao Jing, when you first cto the Zhan Family, | was

prejudiced against you, despised you for being a country person, and felt you were not worthy of Qipei. During

that time, | often mocked and ridiculed you, and even did sreally excessive things to you."

"But as | got to know you better, | realized how narrow-minded I'd been. Where a person lives doesn’t define

them, and even if you live in the countryside, you can still be outstanding."

"So, here today, | want to formally apologize to you for the wrongs I've committed in the past. I'm sorry, Qiao

Jing, and | hope you can forgive me."

Su Manhan’s actions and words cas a surprise to Qiao Jing.

She hadn’t expected that Su Manhan would suddenly be so earnest in her self-reflection and to apologize to her

so formally in front of the other members of the Zhan Family.

In fact, she had never taken any of those past events to heart...

Qiao Jing was thinking about this and hadn't yet managed to say anything when Zhan Nanging also spoke up.

With an apologetic look on her face, Zhan Nanging said, "Qiao Jing, | too must apologize to you. | also had my

prejudices at the start, couldn't stand you, said a lot of unpleasant things to you, and did many things against

you."

"I'm sorry for my ignorance and arrogance and | apologize to you. | hope you can forgive me."

Having said that, Zhan Nanging looked down somewhat ashamedly, appearing too embarrassed to face Qiao

Jing.

At this point, everyone else at the dining table was looking at Qiao Jing, waiting for her to respond.

Under their gaze, Qiao Jing tugged at

the corner of her lips and smiled

If she had minded those past things, she wouldn't have been able to be with Zhan Qipei, and she wouldn't be

sitting here today.

The fact that she’s sitting here now says everything.

Hearing Qiao Jing say this, both Su Manhan and Zhan Nanging were moved by her generous spirit.

They had treated Qiao Jing that way, yet she hadn't taken it to heart at all.

What a broad-mindedness it took to reach such a level!

With these words from the elder, the somewhat somber atmosphere at the dining table instantly eased.

Everyone exchanged smiles and picked up their bowls and chopsticks to continue eating, as the grudges of the

past seemed to completely dissolve in the laughter.

After a while, Su Manhan suddenly thought of something, her chopsticks pausing in midair as she swiftly turned

her gaze to Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei.

Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei, sensing her look, both lifted their heads and asked in unison, "What's up?"
