Upon realizing that the gift was for Gu Baixue, he finally understood how influential Xu Ningxi's backing was.
He knew what kind of a person Gu Baixue was!
She was born into nobility, originally one of the Gu Family.
With just her identity as part of the Gu Family, she could make many people treat her with the utmost respect.
At that moment, he truly realized—
he had bet on the right horse.
As a man, what did it matter if he jumped back and forth between Xu Huanyan and Xu Ningxi?
Everyone naturally had their own rules for survival.
And he had precisely predicted that Xu Ningxi wanted the upright Gu Huai'an of the past to return.
That was simple.
He would perform for Xu Ningxi to see.
Make Xu Ningxi think he had reformed.
As long as he did nothing to hurt Xu Ningxi, no one could grasp anything on him, and Xu Ningxi wouldn't be able to catch him out either.
Xu Ningxi's nature was to seek revenge for every injustice.
