However, she was more concerned about something else. With Zhen Rong’s status, he could not reach the Seven Stars Sect, which meant that the woman beside her was not simple.

However, this only made Gu Man look at the woman again and it did not cause any waves in her heart.

Gu Man was not very interested in other people’s backgrounds.

The door of the private room was pulled open. Maybe it was because they had made an appointment beforehand and the dishes were served very quickly.

The woman seemed to have completely forgotten that she was Zhen Rong’s mother. She kept sitting beside Gu Man and kept picking up food for her.

“This is my favorite dish. Miss Gu, please eat more.”

Gu Man, who had never felt such hospitality before, nodded. She looked at the mountain of food in front of her and her expression became even more tense.

…..

“Sigh, I’m still very grateful to you for saving my son’s life. We only have one son and we value him very much. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid 1 would have to send my son off.”

As she spoke, a few tears appeared at the corners of the woman’s eyes. However, she quickly adjusted her emotions, wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, and took a deep breath.

“I’ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of you. I don’t usually reveal my emotions in front of outsiders, but 1 am too emotional today.”

Gu Man nodded in understanding, but she did not know how to comfort others. She could only look at the tear-stained woman coldly.

“I also heard from Zhen Rong that Miss Gu you don’t want anything in return, but as the people who were saved, we have to give something! Moreover, life is so precious, how can it be offset by a dish?”

Gu Man put down the chopsticks in her hand with an exceptionally serious expression. “Zhen Rong was fated to meet me, so if I accept too many gifts, 1’11 be tainted by karma.”

The woman’s expression froze for a moment before she nodded in understanding. “You people do seem to care about these things, but I really can’t stand it if we don’t give you something.”

The woman looked troubled, but Gu Man stared fixedly at the spot above her head.

She could tell that this woman usually liked to do good, so she was surrounded by a faint light. If she helped such people, it would be beneficial to her cultivation.

At the thought of this, Gu Man said, “If you want to repay me, you can listen to what I have to say.”

A puzzled expression immediately appeared on the woman’s face. Even Zhen Rong, who had been silent, looked at Gu Man in confusion.

After all, this request sounded very strange.

Gu Man did not give the two of them much time to be puzzled. Instead, she said bluntly, “I’m afraid you have some relations.h.i.+p problems now, but you plan to continue to endure it.”

As soon as she said this, Zhen Rong and the woman’s expressions changed at the same time. No one would tell anyone about such a private matter, let alone their family.

Almost instantly, the woman’s gaze became sharp, but then she thought of something and said apologetically,

“I’m sorry, Miss Gu. I was too emotional just now, but the things you said do exist.”

The woman’s tone was much more respectful than before. She swallowed. “Then what should 1 do?”

Recently, her relations.h.i.+p had indeed not been smooth-sailing, but they were all small conflicts. Although they kept arguing, she did not take it to heart and thought about getting by.

After all, she had only been able to reach this stage because she had been enduring it.

“Don’t endure it. Break it when you have to,” Gu Man said without hesitation.

A troubled expression appeared on the woman’s face. She bit her lower lip and blinked a few times. She seemed to be fighting in her heart.

“Miss Gu, can I ask why? Because this relations.h.i.+p has indeed lasted for a long time. I’m a little reluctant to let it go now.”

The expression on the woman’s face gradually softened, as if she had recalled something. Her face even revealed a hint of shyness.

“To be honest, Miss Gu, we’ve been together since university. It can be said that no one knows him better than me. We’ve indeed had some small conflicts recently, but I don’t think it’s a big deal..”
