She Never Gave Up

Gong Zhan pondered for a moment, finding it hard to believe that Gu Zi could possibly be a neighbor of the esteemed Gao family. He chalked it up to a mere coincidence of shared names.

After a while, he heard Gao Ming speak. For the sake of convenience, the elder Gao led Gong Zhan to his study, where they had a lengthy discussion. After their conversation, Gong Zhan excused himself and left the Gao residence.

As he approached his car, he was about to get in when he heard a familiar voice from behind him. "Su Shen, you're amazing. I love this goldfish pond..."

Gong Zhan's hand froze in mid-air as he turned to look at the house next to the Gao's. A small road separated the two houses, with green plants lining both sides. Despite the distance, it wasn't far.

Through the intricately carved iron gate, he could see the courtyard of the neighboring house, illuminated by colorful lights as bright as day.
