Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Shen Ruxue obviously didn't think so. When she heard what Bai Ning said, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then continued, "You can't tell a person's heart from his appearance. Gong Wanwan hasn't shown any ambition, but no one can guarantee that she doesn't have any interest in the position of heir to the Gong family. Maybe she's just playing dumb. You should be more cautious with people and never trust them completely."

Bai Ning was somewhat surprised to hear such words from her mother. She had never thought that her mother would be so malicious and make such assumptions about others.

She couldn't help but stare at Shen Ruxue with eyes wide open, and said blankly: "How can you say that? Wanwan doesn't look like that kind of person."

It’s hard to say whether Bai Ning’s judgment of people is accurate or not, but she is willing to give Gong Wanwan her full trust. If people always feel wary and concerned about each other when getting along with each other, then what’s the point?

Gong Wanwan showed kindness to her, and she was willing to respond in kind.

However, Shen Ruxue didn't like hearing Bai Ning speak for Gong Wanwan like this. She didn't necessarily want her daughter to confront that little girl, but she just wanted to remind her that few people would show their true thoughts on their faces.

People’s hearts are hidden, and it remains to be seen whether Gong Wanwan’s daily behavior is out of good intentions.

"Ningning, I know you don't like to hear this, but you have to understand that Mom is doing this for your own good. I know you have a good relationship with Wanwan, and you think she is harmless because of the kindness she shows on a daily basis, but you have to know that you have to leave some room for everything. I don't know if she really treats you well from the bottom of her heart, but you have to be on guard against others. You can't be so defenseless against her."

Bai Ning couldn't bear to listen any longer and strongly disagreed with what was said, but because the other party was his mother, he still kept silent. But Shen Ruxue kept talking.

"Things in wealthy families are very complicated, especially the hearts of people in such large families are very difficult to figure out, even comparable to the imperial family. These disputes are not as simple as you see on the surface. It is common for people to be brothers one second and stab each other in the back the next. People with simple ideas will be calculated by others and nothing will be left of them if they survive in wealthy families."

Shen Ruxue looked serious and her tone was even more solemn. She turned to look at Bai Ning's slightly confused expression, but in the end she couldn't bear it and softened her tone.

"Mom is not blaming you. I am just teaching you how to deal with the world. Even if it is not pleasant to hear, it is very useful. You have to learn these in the future. Do you understand?"

Bai Ning's mind was a little confused and he did not give an answer.

Shen Ruxue did not continue to force her, but turned the topic to the issue of the heir and asked again: "What do you think about the issue of the Gong family heir that mom just mentioned?"

After a moment's silence, Bai Ning finally looked up and looked at Shen Ruxue with a cold gaze.

In the past, Bai Ning would never show this kind of look in front of Shen Ruxue, but because her mother's behavior today was different from usual, her attitude towards her also changed.

Bai Ning's voice was a little hoarse, and she just asked calmly: "Do we have to fight for the position of heir? Is this position really so important that we don't even have to consider family affection?"

Shen Ruxue was focused on the meaning of her words and failed to sense her emotional changes. She frowned and spoke in a tough tone.

"Mom can tell you responsibly that this position is very important. Many people are eyeing this position covetously and flocking to it. If you sit in this position, you will have many things that others can't even ask for. I don't need to say more. Power and status will all come to you."
