Lijuan had only one thought: since she had already severed ties with Lu Meirong, she would also cut off all their future plans involving her by using this situation as an opportunity. By not making things difficult for Lu Meirong, she was showing the goodness of her heart. This could also help improve her image, and when she took action against Lu Meirong, no one would blame her family, saying that she was mistreated.
In her previous life, Lu Meirong and Li Chen had used the matter of Lijuan forcing her father to secure Li Chen a spot in the school to tarnish their family's reputation, which did have an impact. The Jiang family had to intervene and provide clarification on Li Chen's entry to their school.
