Shang Ning reached for the wine glass and downed it in one gulp—refreshing!

Jin Yining continued pouring her wine, saying, "It's your turn to ask."

Shang Ning felt something was off, but then she thought the wine was really good, so she couldn't help but look at the invoice in the bag. She discovered that it was a bottle of wine that cost less than 100 yuan in the supermarket downstairs.

Well, it's not very tasty either!

Jin Yining didn't miss her little actions. It was hard to imagine how this woman in front of him could stand on the international stage and debate with so many people. She was clearly just a child.

He did indeed ask Maodou to buy the wine downstairs, but he was in too much of a hurry to go back and get it for her.

"Was the car accident related to Xia You?" Shang Ning asked her second question.

"yes."

Jin Yining answered decisively this time, so he drank the wine.

Shang Ning seemed to have had a premonition, but hearing this answer still made her heart ache as if it were being torn apart. It turned out that Xia You hated her to this extent.

It turns out, she really wanted her dead.

Before Shang Ning could answer the question, he drank the wine in front of him.

Jin Yining raised her hand and pressed down on her wrist, "It's not your turn yet, why are you withdrawing from the competition?"

Upon hearing this question, Shang Ning pushed Jin Yining's hand away, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Jin Yining, "Jin Yining, have you ever felt guilty?"

Shang Ning suddenly asked a question.

"That's not your answer."

"I've liked you for so many years, and I've been criticized for so many years. Have you ever felt guilty?" Shang Ning wasn't drunk yet and was still in the role of Ning Kong, so she asked this question as Ning Kong.

Jin Yining leaned back in her chair and looked at the woman in front of her. "I tried. I tried countless ways to stop all of this, but it was no use."

"Your so-called efforts are just repeated persuasion, right?" Shang Ning suddenly laughed, lowered her eyes, and swirled the wine glass in her hand. "Being liked by someone you can't reciprocate is indeed a troublesome thing."

For example, Jin Yining, and Shang Ning.

For example, Ning Kong, and He Zhiyan.

After exhausting all other options, Jin Yining chose to handle the situation quietly, while she could only choose not to implicate anyone further.

At this moment, she seemed to understand Jin Yining a little.

Jin Yining didn't quite understand what Shang Ning was saying, but he watched as Shang Ning drank more wine.

Shang Ning reached for the wine bottle and poured herself a drink. "Back then, did you really want to strangle me?" Shang Ning suddenly asked.

"Yes." Jin Yining picked up his wine glass and drank. "That was the first time I lost my temper and hurt someone."

Shang Ning: "..."

It really doesn't seem like him anymore.

"No, Mr. Jin, this wine isn't that expensive. You really don't need to be so generous." Shang Ning looked at the bottle, which was already half empty, and felt a pang of heartache. She was waiting for him to leave so she could drink it herself.

"You said you know Shang Ning, and you said you had a good relationship with her, so why did you sue her?" Jin Yining asked.

Shang Ning had drunk a few cups, but was still relatively sober.

"Shang Ning, a pampered princess at the top of the pyramid, arrogant and conceited, with everyone around her fawning over her and catering to her every whim. And what happened? She forgot her father's words: as human beings, we must always remember to be kind. Is she kind? The photos she posted are real. Why? Why does Ning Kong say that knowing Shang Ning is Ning Kong's mistake, that she has no moral compass and uses the dead? What did Shang Ning do first? Does death absolve her of responsibility? Respect for the dead means not spreading rumors about the deceased, not defaming the deceased, not erasing everything about her life and condoning her mistakes." Shang Ning spoke more and more, choking on her drink in her haste.

Jin Yining got up and went over to pat her back, but Shang Ning suddenly pushed her away.
