Rong Yan didnât know how to explain the intricacies to her, nor did she know how to mention Li Shengxiaoâs grandfatherâs identity, let alone that these words came from Li Shengxiaoâs grandfather.
She didnât feel threatened by him, anyway.
Although she had only met the old man once, she could sense his powerful aura and could somewhat grasp the type of person he was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Shengxiao was of the same sort.
People like them never stooped to lying or making threats; if they said something, it meant it was definitely true.
If it was trueâ¦
Rong Yan took a deep breath, suddenly feeling as if her chest were being heavily pressed down, the sensation of a stone weighing down was particularly uncomfortable.
So uncomfortable that now she could only think about this matter, with no mood for work and no appetite for food.
Seeing her listless appearance, Gu Linxi regretted having been too direct earlier and asked her after a moment of silence, âSo what do you think? Considering breaking up?â
âI havenât thought that much.â
Breaking upâshe definitely didnât want to break up with Li Shengxiao.
They had just begun to understand each otherâs feelings; it would be too cruel to break up so soon.
Gu Linxi thought it was simple, âThen thatâs settled, if you donât want to break up, donât break up. Donât overthink it, just act like nothing happened.â
âMm,â Rong Yan was heavy-hearted.
She couldnât discuss Li Shengxiaoâs background with Gu Linxi, so it was difficult to explain the whole story to her.
Seeing her still downcast and preoccupied, Gu Linxi patted her shoulder and consoled her, âYan, I donât think you need to overthink it. Life isnât a TV drama; itâs not filled with that kind of melodramatic stuff. Iâve never heard of anyone going bankrupt for not breaking up. And besides, Li Shengxiao isnât the type of man who relies on his family. The Li Group wonât just go bankrupt like that, itâs just whether his family accepts you or not, to see if you choose to face it together with him or decide to cut ties.â
âI remember he has just a mother, and if the family opposes, he will be affected to some extent. Itâs up to you.â
She thought Rong Yan was talking about Lin Zhiya being the one opposing.
Rong Yan shook her head, âItâs not Mrs. Lin.â
âThen who is it?â Gu Linxi really couldnât understand what she was talking about.
Rong Yan didnât know how to explain, âSomeone⦠whose identity I canât disclose.â
âWhat are you talking about, what canât you disclose?â Seeing Rong Yan hesitate to speak, Gu Linxi waved her hand, expressing her opinion, âSince you donât want to break up, in my opinion, unless itâs his immediate family opposing you, you could pretend it never happened, no need to overthink it. Overthinking just makes you suffer.â
Rong Yan wished to tell her it wasnât a matter of overthinking, it was that Li Shengxiao had a fiancée he was obliged to marry. She could be capricious; she could gamble without fear of losing. But could she drag Li Shengxiao, Mrs. Lin, and everyone else into this bet with her?
But faced with Gu Linxiâs unsuspecting eyes, she couldnât reveal the insider details to her.
She wasnât afraid of Gu Linxi spilling the beans, but it was more likely that Li Shengxiao and his grandfather had some unpleasant history, and this complex relationship, just like with the Rong Family, belonged to the realm of privacy.
Even if she were with Li Shengxiao, she couldnât casually share the private matters he told her with friends.
