Madam Gu's words, when spoken to this point, carried a hint of humility.
Gu Enen sat on the sofa, remaining silent throughout.
After a long while, she waited until Madam Gu had finished speaking and was looking at her pleadingly. Only then did she curl her lips into a smile tinged with self-deprecation, "Mom, you want me to beg Chengchi? How should I beg him? What do you want me to use to plead with him to spare us, the Gu Family?"
Back when Han Chengchi got into a car accident and was fighting for his life in the hospital, she had already gone on a blind date as arranged by Madam Gu.
After Han Chengchi woke up, she never went to see him. When he rushed to the Gu family after pulling out the IV needle overnight, she just happened to return with Lu Yifan after dinner, and when Han Chengchi, pale-faced, asked her who Lu Yifan was, she calmly and confidently replied, he's my fiancé.
