Usually, when Li Lu deals with Han Ling'er, she feels like she is being manipulated without knowing it. Now she realizes that it wasn't because she was too naive, but because she was too involved in the situation.
If the situation were to involve someone else now, then it wouldn't be the same.

However, Gu Xiaonuan's friends have not forgotten her.
