A sudden remark made the hand holding Li Wei's fishing rod pause.
She was simply speechless. How did Liang Qiushi's so-called thorough plan feel like something everyone already knew about?
This made things difficult for her as her accomplice.
It was like she and Liang Qiushi had conspired to do something major.
The matter had yet to take shape, yet everyone was already sizing up Liang Qiushi with suspicious looks, exposing her in the process...
But what could she do? She could only help cover things up, do everything she could, and leave the rest to fate.
With that thought, Li Wei put on an innocent, clueless expression. She turned her head and met Gu Litong's eyes.
"What did Grandpa say? Why can't I understand?"
Gu Litong gave her a deep look before turning his gaze back to the float on the water. "Xiao Xue, whether you understand it or not... you just need to keep Grandpa's words in mind."
Well, that tone was practically a statement of fact... Aunt Liang, your reputation wasn't looking too good.
Li Wei was pondering what she could say to smooth things over when the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank.
She hurriedly pulled up the rod. With a splash, a plump grass carp was flung onto the bank.
Li Wei quickly got to work, removed the hook, and tossed the lively fish into the basket.
Then she baited the hook again and cast the line.
After finishing all that, she decided to keep playing dumb and said, "I'll definitely keep Grandpa's words in mind."
Unexpectedly, Gu Litong, who had seemed unwilling to pursue the matter just now, refused to let the subject pass so easily this time.
He grunted angrily. "You'll keep them in mind? I think love has addled your head
