Gu Man felt a bit desolate and a tad angry.
Liu Zhizhong kept a cold face and said, "Enough, Gu Man. Stop overthinking. It's not that I care about Gu Yan, but my reputation matters to me. Lu Liang messed around foolishly, insulting me, so of course I'd be offended and want to give him trouble. He's been talking nonsense, causing me embarrassment, shouldn't he pay the price? Besides, you and I are already like strangers, but Gu Yan has no grievance with me. She used to call me brother-in-law, and if she's disturbed, helping her shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
As he spoke, he let out a cold smile and said, "Today you came here to warn me not to get too close to Gu Yan, right? Haha..."
Gu Man, seeing right through him, didn't feel embarrassed, and admitted it openly.
"That's right, I'm warning you not to have inappropriate thoughts about Gu Yan—it's quite awkward. If Zhang Xiaoyang weren't away in Southern city for study, he'd come personally."
