Gu Nanyan was eating her meal and said, "Ye Chu isn't that stupid, her tactics wouldn't be so clumsy."
Women are the most ruthless critics of other women; Ye Chu's intelligence lies in her not resorting to petty schemes.
That way, she never gives anyone a handle against her; she is always perceived as the most pitiful and innocent one.
Lu Beicheng did not respond but walked up to the dining table and sat down next to Gu Nanyan.
Gu Nanyan, who has disliked peppercorns and coriander since childhood, found these often included in dishes outside, noticed that Gu Nanyan hadn't touched several of the meat dishes. Lu Beicheng first poured her a cup of warm water, then picked out the coriander, "If there's still a taste, rinse it with water."
At Lu Beicheng's actions, Gu Nanyan smiled, "You really do care about me, remembering all these little habits."
Lu Beicheng said expressionlessly, "I've known you for 23 years."
