"In my view, no matter how far astray a person has gone, as long as they're willing to turn back, fate won't treat them unfairly."
These words from Jin Chenye were not intended as a deliberate consolation.
In fact, Ye Mingmei from her student days left a genuinely good impression on him.
She wasn't as clever as Qin Youxuan, but she was very hardworking.
A rich young lady who would ponder over a case the entire night.
He remembers someone in the group asking her once, with the Ye Family being so wealthy, she wouldn't starve even if she did nothing her whole life, so why bother working so hard.
Ye Mingmei, with the panda eyes from staying up all night, rubbed her forehead, glanced at that person, and continued to organize the data.
It took a long time before she softly replied, "I don't want to disappoint my dad."
Ye Mingmei's sorrow lay in her inability to maintain her calm amidst deliberate flattery and sycophancy.
