Li Lu was rendered speechless by Gu Xiaonuan's words, and she chuckled, "How could I? I just think he's a decent person and barely suitable for you, so I said that."
This is truly Li Lu's honest opinion. In Li Lu's heart, there are very few who can match Gu Xiaonuan. Adding the involvement of Si Yuchen makes the situation even clearer.
Gu Xijue is also good, but they have a blood relation, and that's the key point.
They are related by blood, a topic that no one can avoid.
If Gu Xiaonuan and Gu Xijue were together, then all of Sea City would undoubtedly mock Gu Xiaonuan.
Everyone would think Gu Xiaonuan must be crazy; otherwise, why would she like her half-brother?
Moreover, Zhao Ying's aversion to Gu Xiaonuan—Li Lu needn't say it; Gu Xiaonuan knows why.
Her relationship with Gu Xijue is too close, making Zhao Ying presume Gu Xiaonuan intends to confront her with ulterior motives.
Gu Xiaonuan can defend herself, but such defenses are destined to be ineffective.
