Chapter 250: Strike the Snake at Its Vital Point

Sister Su listened to me and thought carefully, then replied with some surprise, "It seems not."

As our eyes met, we both sensed something different about this situation. Because of the engagement, the Gao Family was dragged down by the Zhao Family, and their business plummeted.
