Gu Xinzhou finished speaking and silently observed Xueli's expressions.
She wanted to capture Xueli's true thoughts.
The daughter of poverty, meeting the sparkling scion of wealth, keeping him in her heart—how steadfast such feelings are, nobody could be truly sure.
Even after these few interactions, Gu Xinzhou's heart trusted Xueli, but when it concerned Mr. Cassie, Gu Xinzhou still had to be cautious.
After all, if Mr. Cassie encountered another relationship that wasn't pure following the sorrow of her rejection, it might leave a shadow on him.
Worry filled Xueli's eyes.
She looked Gu Xinzhou in the eyes, and after a long pause, she said, "I believe Mr. Cassie can quickly stand up in any field. If, in the end, it's impossible to guard the family wealth and it has to be surrendered, then, that is still better than losing a life. With the green hills still there, one needn't worry about firewood. As long as he's alive and can lead a good life, that's what's most important."
