Gu Huai'an's position in Baisha City was rather awkward, yet considering his extreme wealth and the fact that he did real estate business in Baisha City, they had no reason to turn him away.
They assumed that Lu Yebai would not show up today, which was why they invited Gu Huai'an with confidence. Little did they expect, Lu Yebai actually showed up.
