"The old man's carrot-and-stick approach," Gu Nanyan thought to herself, "this old guy is quite the cunning one, praising me before bringing up his own misdeeds as a way to lay the groundwork."
But once things were out in the open, Gu Nanyan wasn't one to hold onto grudges, especially since she loved Lu Beicheng. She didn't want to put Lu Beicheng in a difficult position between them.
Just like when she found out that his biological parents' case and death were related to Lu Tianyang and Gu Qinghua, he still firmly chose to stay with her.
They deeply loved each other.
Besides, she was very clear in her heart that the old man would not hurt him.
Even if Jiang Qiyuan and Song Wennuan hadn't returned.
Therefore, facing the old man, she smiled and said, "Grandpa, you won't hurt me."
The old man turned his head to look at Gu Nanyan, his eyes wider than before: "Girl, why would you say that?"
Could it be that she understood him before they had even met?
