Xu Ning's emotions grew more intense as she spoke.
Over the years, she hadn't lacked for self-counsel.
But she couldn't accept her lot.
Since she had reached a dead end, why shouldn't she drag others down with her into the abyss?
That scourge should never have remained in this world!
Jiang Li soothed Xu Ning by taking her hand.
"It's truly unfair, but there's no absolute fairness in this world."
Xu Ning paused, stupefied.
Jiang Li continued, "I understand that you were the greatest victim of what happened back then, but that's how the world works. When one isn't strong enough, they're left to be slaughtered by others."
That was the fate of Xu Ning.
A calamitous beauty destined to misfortune, even if she had avoided Mr. Rong, such scoundrels, she would have inevitably encountered others just as vile.
If only she had a more gentle and indifferent personality, her latter life wouldn't have been so miserable.
Yet it was her nature to be anything but.
