“If you claim that suffering loss is a blessing, and that principle makes sense, then why didn’t you suffer the loss yourself? If you’re unwilling to suffer losses, but want others to suffer them instead, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing.”

“What’s more, knowing how significant this work is to you and yet not cherishing it, creating all these complications, and then blaming the fault on others?”

Her righteous words resounded powerfully, leaving Li Fang utterly speechless. His face turned from red to white, and all he could do was glare threateningly at Zhuang Qingning.

“Miss Zhuang is right.” Unable to stand Li Fang’s behaviour any longer, Lian Rong couldn’t help but speak up. “Li Fang, your intentions were unrighteous from the beginning. Blaming others for your own downfall is unreasonable. If there’s anyone to blame, it is your own wrongdoings.”

“When a wall falls, everybody pushes it over. You’re nothing more than the grass growing on top of the wall.”

Li Fang looked at Lian Rong disdainfully. “Isn’t it always whatever your master says goes? When have you ever had an idea of your own? Suppose Zhang Yongchang says shit smells good, I bet you wouldn’t dare say it stinks!”

“You…” Lian Rong was too enraged to respond.

Zhuang Qingning’s face darkened, her cold laughter growing louder, “If you insist on making a scene here demanding answers, perhaps I should call out to everyone to come and hear how I’ve harmed you and how you’ve been wronged.”

“There are plenty of people out and about in the streets this morning, surely they won’t miss your grievances if I call for their attention.”

With those words, Zhuang Qingning cleared her throat.

Li Fang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He understood only too well the origin of the dispute. It was just that he was full of resentment and anger towards Zhuang Qingning, and he had accused her without thinking. If everything was truly scrutinized, everyone would undoubtedly point fingers at him.

Now, after being driven out of Fushun Tower by Feng Yongkang, he still had chances to find other places to work. But if his misdeeds were broadcast to everyone, he wouldn’t be able to hide, and no one would want to employ him anymore.

By then, he would truly be out of options.

This vixen always hit where it hurt!

Li Fang dared not argue with Zhuang Qingning much longer. He could only glare at her, snorted coldly, and left after throwing out a “You wait and see!”, his bag slung over his shoulder.

“Tch, disgusting creature, still having the nerve to act tough at this time. Among us all, you’re the one full of tricks. It serves you right!”

Lian Rong had never liked Li Fang, so seeing him now as helpless as a homeless mutt, he found himself feeling exceptionally joyous.

However, seeing young Miss Zhuang’s face, he regretted that his previous statement was a bit crude. He chuckled and said, “Miss Zhuang, don’t take his words to heart. Li Fang has always been a villain. It serves him right to have been driven out.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t take it to heart.” Zhuang Qingning’s expression softened. “The harsher his words, the clearer it is that he is extremely frustrated, right?”

“Shouldn’t I be happier about his frustration then? How could I be unhappy because of his words?”

After contemplating Zhuang Qingning’s words, Lian Rong gave her a thumbs up and said, “Miss Zhuang, you are absolutely right.”
