’If it weren’t for that, why would I have ever taken a liking to Lu Cheng!’

’That’s right, Lu Cheng certainly doesn’t have a good family background. Even his current position at the corporation isn’t that high.’

’But I could tell that Lu Cheng is a man with great potential. On top of that, he has the Chu Family’s support behind him.’

’Thanks to Chu Lingxiu, I know the Chu Family’s situation very well. And because of that, I also know just how important Lu Cheng is to them!’

’That’s why I’m almost certain that Lu Cheng has a bright future ahead of him.’

’If I can become Lu Cheng’s wife, even if I might not gain anything in the short term, one day, I’ll be able to reap huge rewards!’

’As for that rich young master Chu Lingxiu mentioned was pursuing her, of course I know about him. That rich boy’s family background is decent, sure, but he himself is a good-for-nothing.’

’Anyone can see that he has no inheritance rights in his family. In the future, even if he can lead a comfortable life without worrying about food or clothing, he’ll never amount to much.’

’How could I possibly be interested in someone like that!’

’Of course, there are certainly men in B City with better prospects than that rich boy. However, with my family background, I’m probably not good enough for them.’

’Only someone as foolish as Chu Lingxiu could be tricked with just a little sweet-talking. What kind of "Young Miss of the Gu family" am I? I’m just the daughter of a family from a branch so distant it couldn’t be more remote. If something hadn’t happened to the main branch of the Gu family back then, and I hadn’t been brought out from my home, how would I have ever gained this kind of worldly knowledge? How would I have had the chance to meet the young miss of the Chu Family!’

’But after seeing all this, how could I, Gu Shuxin, possibly be willing to go back to being the daughter of some family from a branch so remote it couldn’t be more so!’

’I’m not willing. Of course I’m not!’

’So, even if there’s only the slightest chance, I have to seize it. And right now, Lu Cheng is the best opportunity I’ve identified.’

’It’s precisely because Lu Cheng doesn’t have a good family background and is still in the process of building his career that I’m more than a good enough match for him right now.’

’It’s just that my wonderful plans suffered a devastating blow because of Shen Nian’s appearance.’

"Why can’t we talk about it anymore! Shuxin, I know a little about the Gu family’s situation too. It’s been so many years since that person from the Gu family went missing. They’re definitely not coming back! Maybe once they figure things out, they’ll come and take you back again!"

Chu Lingxiu thought things were too simple, but Gu Shuxin knew very well how slim the chances were.

Chu Lingxiu had never been to the Gu family’s home and didn’t know the people there, so there was no way she could understand.

’In the Gu family, as long as I could win over one particular person, my position would be invincible. However, the very person I needed to win over wouldn’t give me any chance at all!’

’In fact, it was because of that person’s resistance that I was sent away not long after being brought close to the Gu family.’

’Although the Gu family is still responsible for my food, clothing, and living expenses, living inside the Gu family estate and living outside are, of course, completely different things.’

’Without the Gu family’s official acknowledgment, people in the know are probably laughing at me behind my back.’
