Su Xiaowan trusted her intuition. The one time she didn't, it resulted in a heavy blow.
Moreover, Su Xiaowan didn't wrack her brains over why she felt such trust and affinity when she saw Guan Tong. Perhaps, it was, um, fate.
Speaking of Kyoto, there was indeed a Chief of Staff Wu there. However, she didn't depend entirely on him, even though her cousin was about to marry a member of the Wu Family.
Even if they would become in-laws, making them closer, Su Xiaowan believed that nobody would help another person without any reason in this world.
When she founded Mingda, Su Xiaowan's initial intention was to make money, the second was to provide some convenience for Han Dongchen.
As for other expectations, Su Xiaowan didn't think about it. No one would risk their lives for strangers.
The Tang Family in Kyoto was quite well-known in the military and political arena. Even Chief of Staff Wu had to avoid clashing with them. They were much richer and influential than him.
