Liu Qingyu nodded approvingly, "That's right, those who aspire to greatness should not bother with trifles. Just model yourself after Gu Mian and change in the way Tingshen likes. With your aunt giving you a push, eventually you'll start calling me 'Mom.'"
Liu Yunxi looked embarrassed, "Auntie, you're just teasing me..."
"I am helping you."
Liu Yunxi looked worried, "But what if Tingshen just can't fall in love with me? What then?"
"That is indeed the worst outcome, but your aunt has already chosen a way out for you," Liu Qingyu said with a meaningful look. "Since Yin Luoxue has returned, let her and Gu Mian slowly fight it out. When they both lose, you'll benefit."
"All you need to do now is stay by Tingshen's side and win his favor."
"I understand, I'll listen to everything my aunt says."

In the hotel, Yin Luoxue smashed everything that could be smashed and sat on the ground screaming and weeping.
