Upstairs, Gu Ling doggedly engaged Su Hui until she began talking about her past, including how she came to move into the old house.
Listening to Su Hui, Gu Ling found herself repeatedly taken aback, unable to believe the coincidences in Su Hui's story, no wonder Liu Yao was shocked after hearing it.
Sorting through the details, Liu Yao had lived in the old house with Gu Fan, and Gu Ling during their childhood. The two families had a good relationship, even arranging a childhood betrothal between Liu Yao and Gu Fan. Liu Yao later moved away, not keeping in touch with the others, leaving the childhood betrothal to lapse. This should have been a simple matter, but as they all grew up, events took dramatic turns.
Liu Yao interfered with the relationship between Yuan Cheng and Su Hui, forcing Su Hui to move out of Yuan Cheng's place. By a twist of fate, Su Hui ended up living with Gu Fan.
