Even Gu Lanshan felt a bit regretful, regretting why she had refused Sheng Shi's second attempt that night. Although it hurt a lot at the time, she could have gritted her teeth and endured it. Maybe it wouldn't have hurt her, or even if it did, it would be better than seeking his help now, losing her dignity, and still not knowing if he would change his mind.
Several times she wanted to stand up and leave.
But when she thought about leaving like that, and if Sheng Shi never returned home, she wouldn't know his whereabouts. It might be difficult to find him next time.
So Gu Lanshan could only silently tell herself to bear with it a little longer for the sake of her brother's medical expenses.
Gu Lanshan had a habit. When she felt she had lost face, she liked to sit there as if nothing had happened, ignoring everything around her. She would put on an air of indifference and coldness to maintain her composure.
