Old Mr. Li narrowed his eyes. “The business world is like a war zone. Wars had been started over a woman many times in history. Once you gave the man a reason to start a war, he might as well collect some more heads under his belt, expand his territory and make himself king. What’s the problem with that?”
Li Chengzheng was drenched by his own sweat. “That…”
So he apologized just in time and didn’t provide Huo Sishen a reason to invade his turf?
“If only I am 50 years younger,” said Old Mr. Li while knocking on the table. “I would to that same too. Chase after your mother while working on my career at the same time. That’s what you’d call a true hero!”
Li Chengzheng, “… It should be fine that I’ve asked our Yiru befriend the Gu’s girl, right?”
“Only if she thinks that our Yiru is good enough for her.”
“……”

Shortly, the Luo’s debts had exceeded their assets and news of them being acquired by an overseas company was released online.”
The Luo’s had, thus, been officially removed from the wealthy people list.
Luo Pingting, the original owner of the chat group “We are all good sisters” did not leave the group.
Nevertheless, many of the others did.
Including Gu Wushuang.

When Gu Shishi was dragging into a newly-formed chat group, she was stopped again by Li Yiru outside of the art studio, baffled.
“You are here to beg me to go to lunch with you again?”
She had lost count of how times that had hapepend…
Li Yiru blushed a little but finally nodded decisively.
“I won’t force you.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to go.”
Gu Shishi grunted an acknowledgement. “I brought my own lunch. You have fun.”
“… Wait a minute.” Li Yiru pursed her lips. “Were you really the reason behind the fall of the Luo’s….?”
Gu Shishi was utterly dumbfounded.
“Huh?
“The fall of who?”
The one who did not watch the news and only focused on making dinner when she got home had no idea what happened to the Luo’s.
“So it wasn’t you?”
“Hey, don’t say something like that. I have nothing to do with it.” Gu Shishi was mortified by her accusation.
Li Yiru, “……”
Li Yiru had reasons to suspect that Gu Shishi had most likely whispered to some upper management of HB over the pillows.
Then she recalled the message that Boss Huo had sent her on the day of the pool party.
So which man was she close to??

This was such a mystery!
What Li Yiru said to her did not register until the end of her day.
“You said the Luo’s had gone belly up?”
Just when she finished saying that, she saw the walking Luo’s – the well-dressed Luo Zheng.
His usual arrogance and vigorous were missing today.
“Zhao Xian is in class,” said Gu Shishi.
“I’m not here to look for her,” said Luo Zheng with a bitter smile.
“I’m looking for you.”
Gu Shishi raised her brows. “I have only heard about what happened to the Luo’s today. I have nothing to do with it.”
Gu Shishi passed the buck immediately.
Luo Zheng’s lips twitched. “I know. I… am here for my lessons.”
Gu Shishi was surprised.
As was Li Yiru.
Luo Zheng, with his physical appearance and standing outside the door, had attracted the attention of many girls immediately.
“I still have lessons remaining.” That was all Luo Zheng had said.
The Luo’s were not completely over yet.
As long as there were still some Luo’s left, they would be able to start up again in the future.
He couldn’t make up for the mistakes that he had made.
But after paying a hefty price, the mistake will pass in the future.
He had been looked at the painting of Frog in the Well for three nights in a row.
His face was severely slapped by the painting.
He was hurting and also.. enlightened.
It was also true that the Luo’s had been blinded to the truth recently.
They had become too arrogant and lacked a sense of risk. They had forgotten that there were always those bigger and stronger than them out there.
The wealth that they had assumed for tens of years were gone overnight.
His uncle’s branch had gone belly up which had, in turn, affected all the subsidiaries.
This painting, nevertheless, had given him the last shred of courage.
It had allowed him to keep his head cool when the entire Luo’s had come crashing down and also provided him with the faith to stand back up on his feet again.
If he was sitting inside of a well, then, he could always jump out of it!
He was still young.
