Lu Xiao is resourceful and cunning. But he was wrong; he doesn't understand the hearts of Gu Xiaonuan and Shen Biran.
Shen Biran indeed has sympathetic thoughts towards Gu Qingyuan, and seeing Gu Qingyuan fall into Lu Xiao's hands, she won't sit idly by.
But the thing is, Lu Xiao doing this is to threaten Shen Biran.
So, what about Shen Biran? Would Shen Biran be happy to see herself being threatened like that?
Shen Biran isn't foolish either; she knows that Lu Xiao is doing this for her and Gu Xiaonuan.
Shen Biran doesn't want her daughter to become a tool to be used. Even when Lu Xiao is at death's door, he still won't let them mother and daughter go.
Shen Biran wouldn't ignore Gu Qingyuan's matters, but this time, the issue also involves Gu Xiaonuan, the daughter she owes the most to.
All these years, Shen Biran had to pretend to be a vegetable, so she couldn't fulfill the responsibilities of a mother.
