In Shashi, how terrifying the three great families were, who didn't know? Apart from those of Jiang Tao's caliber, who would not show respect and retreat three steps upon seeing the three great families and the Tianxia Association? Wasn't the Lin family divided by the three great families back then?
Now, some people who were already harboring doubts suddenly understood.
Why were the members of the three great families absent, and why had the members of the Tianxia Association also changed?
Before, they didn't understand what had happened, only knowing that the Tianxia Association and the Luo family were now very close. They never expected the real reason to be this.
What was Lin Xiao's background?
He was definitely more than just a descendant of the Lin family. To make the Tianxia Association compromise, and to make the members of the three great families flee Shashi with their tails between their legs, Lin Xiao's identity...
Originally, some people were standing by Gu Ming's side. After Lin Xiao finished speaking, those who had been by Gu Ming's side quickly distanced themselves from her, fearing that they would be resented by Lin Xiao because of her.
The few men who had chatted with Gu Ming a couple of times before now distanced themselves even faster.
Gu Ming looked at these people in confusion. What did this mean? Why were they all looking at her as if she were a plague god?
"Miss Gu Ming, is there anything else you need to ask?"
Lin Xiao stared at Gu Ming. It would be best not to keep this woman around: "Or do you want to ask me about your ex-boyfriend, Peter? Did you manage to win him back?"
"You!"
Gu Ming pointed at Lin Xiao. How could this man's mouth be so venomous?
Just a sentence or two made her furious.
"No other intentions."
Lin Xiao spread his hands and chuckled: "Your boyfriend heard that you were going to buy a villa and immediately ran away. In my life, I've only seen this once. Miss Gu Ming, you must have seen this kind of man for the first time too, right? This is a man's disgrace."
Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. Wasn't he back from the army? Why did he speak so sarcastically? He didn't seem like someone who had come from the military.
Back when Lin Xiao was in the Northern Frontier, this was his only source of amusement. Otherwise, in that environment... he didn't know how he would have been able to get through it.
Of the first batch of brothers who went to the Northern Frontier together, only Ye Chen survived. The rest... died on the battlefield.
This Dragon Commander, this War God, was snatched from the hands of King Yama through countless life-and-death crises.
"I don't need your concern."
Gu Ming snorted.
"Of course, I don't care. But my wife just said that women should rely on themselves more, not men. Miss Gu, I recall that your first fortune was made through your multiple divorces and remarriages." Lin Xiao had investigated this woman thoroughly: "Three divorces and remarriages increased your assets a hundredfold. To be honest, Miss Gu, I admit defeat when it comes to your judgment. Every man has his own expertise!"
In fact, many people knew about this, but no one brought it up in the open. Of course, many people only thought it was a mere guess.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Gu Ming's face turned black, and she yelled.
She glanced at the people around her. These people had completely treated her as a plague god. She had originally hoped to hook up with some rich catch at this party, but it seemed that was impossible.
