Lord Lai pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit."
Gu Youlu obediently sat down.
Lord Lai said, "It's not surprising that Gu Dashan's family can come up with some new things. Throughout history, there have always been capable people. But the key is, why has his family been able to hold onto their business? Many families have had their businesses schemed away with just a good recipe. A group of refugees like his family has not only avoided losing their business, but has also been able to conduct it peacefully for three years. Without a big backer, his family would have been swallowed alive by now."
Lord Lai truly cared for Gu Youlu and meticulously explained the dangers involved, eventually saying, "Your family must pretend to be unaware for now, and act only after Old Five finds out who is backing Gu Dashan's family. Otherwise, I fear you might suffer a loss."
