Sheng Shi had always been known for his harsh and venomous tongue, and Madam Gu's words were heavy with jealousy, which he had definitely noticed.
The words he had spoken just now had utterly humiliated Madam Gu.
Indeed, Madam Gu had made that half-joking remark because Sheng Shi had stolen a business deal from her.
But who would have known that a deal the Gu Family was so eager to secure would be trivialized as a minor deal in Sheng Shi's mouth?
It was clear that Sheng Shi was looking down on the deal that Madam Gu valued.
Sheng Shi was always this despicable; the more others envied, were jealous of, or hated him, the more he made sure they felt that way.
It left people feeling stifled, with nowhere to vent their frustrations.
