Gu Xiaonuan realized when she received a call from Li Lu that things had worked out.
"I knew it. I was sure it would be good news waiting for me."
The good news awaited Gu Xiaonuan, but for Shu Yu, it was devastating news.
"I'm going to disappoint you this time too. Sorry, there's nothing I can do, Shu Yu just won't cooperate with me."
His unwillingness to cooperate forced Li Lu to apologize to Gu Xiaonuan.
Gu Xiaonuan must still be expecting good news from Li Lu.
"It's okay. We should understand him."
Initially, Gu Xiaonuan was also full of hope, but she no longer felt that way afterwards.
Whether or not Shu Yu and Si Yuchen truly had a business relationship, they were deeply connected business friends.
Gu Xiaonuan's divorce from Si Yuchen meant Shu Yu couldn't side with Si Yuchen, yet he wouldn't stand with Gu Xiaonuan either.
Gu Xiaonuan was Li Lu's friend, but even friendship has its limits when it comes to business ethics.
