Liu Ye'er smiled and said, "Although Zheng Liying's words were not without merit, her attitude leaves much to be desired. She only saw the surface of things without grasping their deeper significance. After arriving in Tianjin, despite finishing his busy schedule and having some free time, Jin Shangwen did not idle about. In secret, he quietly established a law firm dedicated to providing free legal aid for impoverished families, even dipping into most of his own savings to do so. Yaxiu, how did you persuade him to accept the bonds?"
Gu Yaxiu straightened her posture, a hint of pride crossing her face. "I pointed out to him that a law firm funded entirely from his own pocket would always be limited in scale by his personal finances. Only with sufficient capital could he expand and help a greater number of people. Once I explained that, he gradually came around."
Upon hearing this, a wave of guilt washed over Zheng Liying. It turned out Jin Shangwen had been quietly doing good deeds all along, while she had foolishly assumed he was merely driven by greed. How petty of her to judge a noble heart by her own small standards!
