Li Tingshen did not deny it, "Yes, I know her."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier? I was even thinking of helping you connect!" Gu Mian exclaimed joyfully, "Since you know each other, that's great, you won't have to be afraid of being suppressed by Li Hongxuan anymore!"
"Li Hongxuan?" Li Tingshen scoffed, "I've never taken him seriously."
Li Tingshen raised his hand to pinch her face. "But seeing how concerned Madam Li is about my affairs makes me very happy."
Gu Mian leaned into his arms. "I originally didn't want to meddle in your affairs, but I didn't expect Li Hongxuan to actually suppress you. You clearly have such strong capabilities, and it would be such a shame if you couldn't utilize them because of the suppression. So, we should also think of ways to escape our current predicament."
"Don't worry, I'll handle these matters."
"Hmm."
While they were talking, Gu Mian's stomach inopportunely growled.
"Hungry?"
