Chapter 865: Such a Patron is Really Strange

"So, that's his identity... Forget it. Someone like him, there's no way I'd ever stand a chance. Forget it, just leave me alone for a bit." Wan Lili, after seeing the information her assistant had dug up, finally understood Shangguan Xiu's background. Any fantasies she had immediately dissipated.

For all these years, the ease and freedom she enjoyed came from knowing when to advance and retreat, and most importantly, knowing her place.

She was very clear that a family like the Shangguan Family would never accept someone like her.

Even if she had the means to seduce Shangguan Xiu, it was very likely that in the next moment, the Shangguan Family would send someone to kill her.

She had once had a close girlfriend who fell for a rich heir from a very prominent family. That family wasn't even as powerful as the Shangguan Family, but not long after her friend got involved with the heir, she met an "accidental" death.
