Qu Yanyan's expression was a bit awkward. She had beaten up Li Chengjing, but now she realized that if she wanted to get Gu Jingchen's attention, it was clear that she couldn't succeed alone. She was outnumbered and isolated. Moreover, Qu Yanyan was a highly pragmatic person. She had no intention of returning to Li Chengxi. Giving up an entire forest for the sake of one twisted pervert? That was certainly not her style!
If that were the case, and she ended up ruining herself, how could she marry anyone in the future?
Since she wasn't going back to Li Chengxi's side and her current finances needed to be carefully managed—after all, the money she managed to scrape from Li Chengxi was limited—it became all the more crucial to plan wisely. Li Chengxi was the son of a nouveau riche family; he might seem wealthy, but he was downright stingy with Qu Yanyan!
