Chapter 606, A High Five Oath (1 more
Xie Zhinuan was so sincere that Shitou, on the contrary, felt he was harboring a petty mind.
After taking a deep breath, he finally asked, "Why are you willing to do this for us? What can people of our status bring you? Aren’t you afraid that after all your hard work and money, in the end, we may not listen to you and instead repay your kindness with ingratitude?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
However, Xie Zhinuan laughed, "Yes, I have thought about it. What if after all I do today, you turn out to be ungrateful, like a thankless cur, making everything I’ve done be in vain? But I want to take that risk. There’s always an ’if,’ isn’t there?"
Her smile was gentle, tinged with a degree of detached relief.
"No matter what you choose to do in the future whether or not you work for me, it’s not that important to me. By the time you’ve grown up, I believe I’ll have many capable people by my side. As for the Silver spent over the years, I’ll just consider it as thrown into the water for the sound of it. To put it bluntly, I still give alms and buns to the beggars on the street. I don’t lack this bit of money, so why should I nitpick here?"
Xie Zhinuan stood up and walked over to Shitou.
