Liang Doukou was stunned for a moment. She didn’t speak, but a trace of uneasiness was evident in her eyes.
Zhou Jing stared at Liang Doukou quietly for a long time. Suddenly, she smiled and said tenderly, “Xiaokou, I’m helping you to hold on to what you want to keep.”
“In this world, everyone has free will and, with money, one can make an opportunity to get somewhere. If that stupid girl had any sense, she would have already left Gu Yusheng and not be in your face, right? So, if she needs to be driven away by cruelty, she only has herself to blame!”
The car went silent.
Zhou Jing didn’t speak any more, but she looked calm, as if she were sure that Liang Doukou would come to agree with her plans.
As Zhou Jing was changing her position, Liang Doukou blinked her eyes gently and softly said, “You’re right. I’m just pursuing what I want.”
Zhou Jing smiled without saying a word.
After a few seconds, Liang Doukou said, “Thank you, Zhou Jing. If it hadn’t been for you, I might have screwed up everything by now.
“You’re welcome.”
After a few moments of silence, Liang Doukou said, “It’s very kind of you, Zhou Jing.”
Zhou Jing didn’t answer but slowly turned her head and looked out at a light not far from the car window.
“It’s very kind of you?”
No one is unconditionally good to another person in this world?
It’s all for the sake of one’s own needs.

When Qin Zhi’ai returned to the banquet hall from the second floor, Lu Bancheng, who had been seated near the main table, had already moved his seat to the table at which Qin Zhi’ai, Xu Wennuan, and Wu Hao were sitting.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t know what they were talking about, but they all looked extremely excited.
As she approached, she heard them discussing where Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan’s wedding should be held on Valentine’s Day next month.
Xu Wennuan saw Qin Zhi’ai coming and immediately asked her opinion, “Xiao’ai, Beijing or Bali? What’s the best place for my wedding?”
Qin Zhi’ai thought for a moment and said, “Bali will be warmer. It’d certainly be a great place to have a wedding, but it’s up to you, of course.”
“That’s what I think!” Xu Wennuan nodded in agreement, turned to Wu Hao, and said with a big smile, “Then we can have a wedding in Bali, okay?”
After pausing, Xu Wennuan asked, “What does a wedding in Bali cost?”
“Never mind.” Wu Hao raised his hand to gently rub Xu Wennuan’s hair and said in a tender voice, “This is our once-in-a-lifetime wedding and the most important thing is that you like it.”
Xu Wennuan gleamed as brilliantly as the crystal lamp above her head. She didn’t care that they were in public; she lightly kissed Wu Hao’s cheek and said, “Now that we’ve decided on the place, we have to figure out the hotel, wedding dresses, invitations, wedding candies…”
Xu Wennuan gradually frowned as she listed off all the things they would need. She feigned distress when in fact she was in bliss. She turned to Wu Hao and said coquettishly, “I think I feel a headache coming on!”
“We still have one month to go, right? Take your time…” Before Wu Hao finished his sentence, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, glanced at the screen, but didn’t answer it. Then he looked slightly sideways at Jiang Qianqian, who was sitting nearby.
