The most troubling thing for Shen Biran is that Lu Xiao ruthlessly used Gu Qingyuan, that fool, leaving her at a loss.
She couldn't plead for Gu Qingyuan in front of Lu Xiao, asking him to spare him and not to use him to threaten Gu Xiaonuan.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be indirectly admitting a problem? Gu Xiaonuan really would compromise because of Gu Qingyuan's situation, and Gu Qingyuan is indeed a weakness for both Gu Xiaonuan and her. As long as Lu Xiao has Gu Qingyuan in his grasp, there will certainly be no problem.
After acquiring such information, would Lu Xiao spare Gu Qingyuan? No, not only will he not spare Gu Qingyuan, but he will also use him even more seriously and rigorously to negotiate terms with them.
If they don't go to Italy with Lu Xiao, Gu Qingyuan's life will be in danger.
So Shen Biran cannot show that she cares a lot about Gu Qingyuan's safety, nor can she allow Lu Xiao to confidently think that he has really made the right bet this time.
