It was true that people gathered together for benefits. However, it wasn't the absolute truth. Peng Zijie was a snob, so he believed that everyone was snobbish.
Gu Ning wasn't sure that all the people in her circle would give her a helping hand when she was in trouble, but she believed that Tanghuang and Shengshi would certainly help her.
One was her family's business, while the other was her future husband's business. Both of them loved her the most in this world, so they definitely wouldn't hesitate to help her.
Peng Zijie didn't know that, so he took Gu Ning lightly.
"Your words make sense, but I still can't accept it," said Gu Ning.
Peng Zijie lost patience and directly threatened Gu Ning. "Gu Ning, don't test my patience. The Yuan family in the capital is my relative, and it's very easy for them to shut you out of this city."
