Shen Yuchen stared intently at Gong Ning, noticing the resolute light in her eyes, and suddenly smiled easily. "So, do you think what I just did was right?"

Gong Ning pretended to be troubled and thought for a few seconds, then smiled softly, "As long as it's within the bounds of public order and good morals, does right and wrong really matter? Does a principle of conduct that isn't recognized by others necessarily mean it's wrong? Shouldn't you ask yourself if what you did was driven by your original intention, or just a momentary impulse? If I say you did the right thing, you'll definitely be happy?"

People with strong opinions have their own comprehensive and systematic value judgment system and do not have high expectations for the approval of others.

She is clear-headed and always knows what she is doing and how to do it.

I also understand what I should and shouldn't do.

There is no right or wrong, only whether it is worthwhile or not!

Most importantly, the original aspiration has remained unchanged, as has the passion and enthusiasm of a child!

Shen Yuchen glanced at the quirky little girl in front of him, a bittersweet feeling welling up in his heart. His eyes warmed slightly as he stared into her eyes for a few seconds.

He abruptly looked away, but couldn't help but smile, a pleasant curve forming on his lips, while deliberately chuckling and scolding under his breath.

"You little rascal, you're so good with your mouth. You're clearly just taking advantage and then acting innocent. You're saying all that to get me on your bandwagon, trying to sweet-talk me, aren't you?"

Gong Ning suddenly stepped forward and gently hugged her. "So what do you think of my tactic of winning people over? Oh well! You're already on board, so there's no use regretting it now!"

Shen Yuchen glanced at her with a smile in her eyes, "Whether you regret it or not depends on what kind of big gift you're going to give me!"

Gong Ning's dark eyes suddenly lit up. "That's easy! Just you wait. I'm the best at giving people surprises and big gifts!"

Gong Ning and Shen Yuchen's conversation, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, made the already tense atmosphere even more stagnant.

Xiao Yisheng's arrogant and dismissive expression slowly froze on her face. Gong Ning and Shen Yuchen's indifferent attitude made her face turn pale with anger.

His gaze was cold and fixed. "As expected, some people won't repent until they suffer a bit. It's alright, Miss Luo, I'm sure your father will discipline you properly... What are you doing?"

Xiao Yisheng looked at Gong Ning who suddenly approached her and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gong Ning stopped and gave a mocking smile. "Let's not talk about whether I'm a good-for-nothing, a pretty face, or a pitiful little thing who only knows how to cry and gain pity. Look at yourself first. Besides using the Xiao family's power to bully and humiliate people at will, you don't have any other redeeming qualities, do you?"

She easily caught the annoyance in her eyes, and Gong Ning's smile became even more unrestrained.

"According to my unofficial sources, the Xiao family, which is currently at the height of its power in Liangcheng, has a renowned young lady who casually attended a backwater diploma mill, but claims to the outside world that she graduated from the world-renowned Stanford University."

She joined the Xiao Group right after graduation, full of confidence and taking on a major responsibility. However, the project she was in charge of went awry, resulting in massive losses, including principal and interest, and even an additional loss of billions! Even with the Xiao family's deep-rooted wealth, they can't withstand such extravagance, can they? What do you say, Miss Xiao?

Having his past exposed, Xiao Yisheng felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Feeling guilty, he retorted sharply, "Shut up!"
