Zhao Ying made a call, and Gu Xiaonuan got her wish: she no longer had to continue lying.
"Remember, you owe me one, sister!"
Leaning against the door, Li Lu lifted her chin, looking down at Gu Xiaonuan, who was flustered and panicked by the scare from Gu Xijue.
Still too green, she thought; even if caught red-handed, one must maintain their most rational demeanor.
Gu Xiaonuan nodded her head repeatedly, thanking Li Lu with her sincerest gratitude.
"Next time I'll deal with Han Ling'er for you, return the favor with interest! It's a good deal, isn't it?"
Thinking she could persuade Han Ling'er? She didn't even start, and Han Ling'er was already causing trouble.
Seeing Gu Xiaonuan's gratitude, Li Lu changed her stance, "Nuannuan, you really are my good sister!"
"No need for pleasantries, I still need to rush off to put out another fire!"
Gu Xiaonuan outright rejected Li Lu's intention to pull her back for a catch-up, and hurried home by taxi as if her butt were on fire.
