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.
