"How much money did she steal from you?" Ji Yun'er made to repay the money on Cong Xiaoxiao's behalf.
"That's not the point. The point is... Cong Xiaoxiao isn't a decent person," Gu Luosheng explained calmly.
Ji Yun'er sighed. "I really never imagined she was that kind of person."
"It's fine. There are plenty of things you never imagined. Now that I've told you, you understand, right?" Gu Luosheng blinked, looking at Ji Yun'er with utter sincerity.
Ji Yun'er looked a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Sister Sheng. If it weren't for you..."
"Without me, things probably would have ended pretty badly for you." Gu Luosheng called things exactly as she saw them, without sugarcoating a single word.
Ji Yun'er looked around the room, disappointment written all over her face.

"Human nature is inherently evil. Some people gradually become better as they grow up, while others only get worse. Clearly, your sister is getting worse one step at a time. All I did today was help you see her true colors. What happens from here is your choice." Gu Luosheng patted her shoulder.
Ji Yun'er felt as though Gu Luosheng were an angel sent from heaven to guide her, and gratitude nearly brought her to tears.
"Sister Sheng, thank you." Ji Yun'er excitedly took Gu Luosheng's hand.

Ji Yun'er burst out laughing. "They're all yours!"
