Upon hearing Gu Yanran's words, Huo Shaoheng's heart sank. Even Gu Yanran knew to make use of Gu Nianzhi to convince him. Did everyone know Gu Nianzhi's importance to him?
She cannot be his weakness. He did not need one.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head nonchalantly and rejected Gu Yanran's suggestion again. "Even if Nianzhi was your sister and even if your father was her father, would we have a reason to save your father?"
Gu Yanran frowned again. Why can't this Huo Shaoheng be affected by anything at all?
He wouldn't help no matter what; did she overestimate Gu Nianzhi's importance in his heart? At that thought, Gu Yanran felt far more lighthearted than before. Even though she was still frowning, her tone revealed signs of happiness.
