Regarding the Gu family, he actually didn't understand Ji Shunuan as much as he thought.
"Otherwise, why did I insist on going against everyone's advice initially, insisting on arranging a marriage between you and her? Did a small Ji family really need us, the Gu family, to propose the marriage?"
"Her mother, Shen Qingqing, was the wealthiest person in Jincheng at the time! After the Shen family collapsed, our Gu family could climb to the top, and I had warned you all these years about your philandering."
"Do you think Ji Shunuan would sacrifice herself for our Gu family forever? And now, what has come of it? Our Gu family's old mansion can hardly be kept."
The voice of Old Master Gu was trembling, as if he could no longer control his emotions.
Anyone in his position would be unsettled, constantly feeling thoroughly eliminated; they were trapped in Jincheng, unable to leave, and unable to escape.
