Although if Gu Junzhu hadn't said it, she definitely wouldn't have thought of these things, once Gu Junzhu explained, she felt Gu Junzhu's analysis was spot-on and made perfect sense; it should basically be the truth.
She followed Gu Junzhu's train of thought: "So... according to your analysis, the one deliberately luring Shi Siyuan to become worse isn't actually targeting Shi Siyuan, but Shi Sixin. And the reason he or they are targeting Shi Sixin is because Shi Sixin is Xiao Yue's teacher; they want to use Shi Siyuan's high-interest debt to control Shi Sixin, and have Shi Sixin harm Xiao Yue?"
"Smart!" Gu Junzhu praised her, pinching her cheek, "Baby, being close to me has really made you smarter as time goes by!"
Ye Xingbei: "...You're actually praising yourself, aren't you?"
She thought of these things entirely under Gu Junzhu's guidance.
Gu Junzhu laughed softly, "What's this 'actually'? I was originally praising myself."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Alright.
Indeed.
