Hao Jian's heart tightened instantly upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Liang Xiaohan to connect these two incidents. He had completely forgotten about it—if she hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even recalled it. Liang Xiaohan's words triggered his memory; it seemed the first time he met Gu Peng was when he was pursuing Zhang Danlin, unfortunately leaving a bad first impression, leading Gu Peng to see him as a rival.
Liang Xiaohan's comment gave him pause, making him realize she was veering toward a rather extreme interpretation.
Sure enough, before he could gather his thoughts, Liang Xiaohan added, "Isn't it all because of Zhang Danlin? Gu Peng was after her, and you wanted him, so you fought with Gu Peng over it?"
"Injustice!" Hao Jian lamented.
