Shen Ningyu knew that openly expressing her true feelings was out of the question, but she needed to find a way to assert herself.
With a forced and uneasy expression, Shen Ningyu remarked, "I suppose Father and Mother are exceptionally generous to allow someone of your caliber to participate in the competition."
Gu Chaoyan remained unruffled, offering a calm response, "I'll be sure to treasure this opportunity."
Shen Ningyu added with a hint of finality, "Do cherish it indeed. If you embarrass yourself once more, you may not have the privilege of competing in the future Shen family events."
Gu Chaoyan replied coolly, "Rest assured, I intend to make the most of it."
Shen Ningyu let out a cold snort and decided not to engage in further argument.
She knew that after the clan competition, she would have ample opportunities to deal with Gu Chaoyan. Shen Lianxue's life would never be peaceful; she would forever be overshadowed by her.
