Gu Shiting misunderstood.
Sheng Tang quickly said, "No, just today at the banquet, I heard others talking about her. She is the top beauty at our school."
Gu Shiting responded with a nonchalant "Oh" and showed no interest, unwilling to waste words on irrelevant people.
"Are you ho now?" he asked Sheng Tang.
"Yes, I’m ho."
"I’ll have Song Chen handle this matter tomorrow," Gu Shiting continued. "The person who hard you, I won’t let him stay in school anymore."
Sheng Tang hesitated slightly.
"Senior, I want to accumulate good karma."
Gu Shiting: "..."
"Really, it’s not about repaying evil with good, but because they are kids. They are just high school students. It feels immoral to retaliate against them," Sheng Tang said.
She didn’t disclose her deal with Gu Jiahui.
Once she told the truth, she worried that Gu Shiting would cause an even bigger disturbance recklessly.
Such disturbances would only result in a bad reputation for Sheng Tang.
Having been in the entertainnt industry for years, Sheng Tang understood the importance of maintaining a clean public image.
Once it ca to "school violence," future perceptions might be politically damaging, which is a ticking ti bomb in the entertainnt industry. Sheng Tang would lose many opportunities.
Therefore, she preferred to turn big issues into small ones and small issues into none.
At school, she hoped all her lilight would be positive.
Rather than being seen as forcing classmates to drop out.
Gu Shiting found her words interesting. His face showed a faint smile, and his tone lightened, "So you’re just going to let them bully you for nothing?"
"It’s not for nothing. They embarrassed themselves. Besides, the Li Family will rember this and settle the score themselves," Sheng Tang said.
She was the winner.
Today, she indeed erged victorious, with no need for further action.
Her previous tactics in society weren’t suitable for school.
The Chinese have their beliefs; harming children, regardless of social class, cannot be forgiven. Hence, Sheng Tang kept great tolerance toward these students.
If they dared to continue causing trouble after graduation, Sheng Tang would destroy them.
After hanging up, Gu Shiting sat alone.
Outside, the wind rustled the gnarled branches, creating a rustling sound. The air of late autumn carried deep chilliness.
Song Chen was always ready, "Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
No more.
Sheng Tang told him not to cause trouble, so he wouldn’t.
He wasn’t capable enough to follow her to the banquet, nor to protect her when others sched against her. The only thing he could do for her was to obey.
"No need," Gu Shiting waved him off.
Song Chen helped close the window.
The chill was kept outside, leaving so warmth indoors.
"...Song Chen, if I were normal, I should have accompanied Tangtang today," he suddenly said.
Song Chen was slightly stunned.
He didn’t say anything insincere but aligned with the Young Master’s intention, "You should have accompanied her."
Leaning against the chair back, Gu Shiting sighed lightly. He lowered his gaze powerlessly, "I’m a waste!"
Recalling his previous suicide attempt, hearing these words made Song Chen’s heart tremble.
Despite the internal turmoil, Song Chen kept a calm exterior, "Young Master, there’s no need to bla yourself. Tangtang is smart; she can handle it."
Gu Shiting closed his eyes.
Song Chen was silent for a mont and then asked, "Last year at this ti, what was on your mind, Young Master?"
Last year?
Gu Shiting couldn’t rember.
Many of his mories were stuck in his eighth year.
That year, too many things happened; he still rembered that pale, dead face and his proud mother kneeling and kowtowing.
