Gu Xia just smiled as if she had anticipated Lu You's reaction. "Still, you have to leave yourself a glimmer of hope, that's what keeps people going... When Yu Xiuli approached me, I kept thinking that apart from my identity, there's nothing that would attract someone like him. So I boldly speculated that he knows something about my background or something about my parents, but right now, he's just dealing with me without revealing anything. I don't need to scare him off. However, I believe when the time comes, he will tell me."
Xiao Xia's guess was really on the mark. Yu Xiuli approaching Gu Xia definitely had no other motives.
Xiao Xia didn't have money, power, a vast fortune, or an exceptionally beautiful face.
So the reason Yu Xiuli had a shotgun marriage with her must be somewhat related to her background, something Lu You had also suspected before.
