Seeing Gu Man's deep expression, Gu Yuan was afraid that she would expose everything without rhyme or reason. He quickly said, "Gu Man, there are some things that we can just explain when we get back. Why make a fool of our family in public?"

"Since you've come to look for me now, let's make things clear at once. As long as you don't slander me, I won't say anything else. While everyone is here, I want to make it clear again that I have nothing to do with the Gu family from now on."
