"Miss Xiang, I was wrong." Madam Gao came before Ye Qianning again, her previous arrogance completely gone.
Ye Qianning stood with her little hands behind her back, saying nothing.
Madam Gao, though fuming internally, dared not show it. "Miss Xiang, I was too aggressive just now. Please, be the bigger person and forgive my transgressions."
"Madam Gao, since you know you were wrong, let's let the matter end here." Ye Qianning paused, then added, "I never truly intended to take this to the authorities. I just wanted you to understand that people are not defined by their station. Wrong is wrong, and anyone who can correct their mistakes deserves admiration. To know one's fault but persist in it is a despicable act. No matter how high one's status, it will only earn contempt."
Madam Gao didn't seem to hear a word of this speech, her lowered eyes hiding a venomous glint.
