She is just as good as Lu Jiayi.
Her moral standards are much lower than Lu Jiayi's.
Lu Jiayi felt that even if she wasn't a true gentleman, she was at least a hypocrite, and she still adhered to some inviolable moral bottom lines, but Fu You did not.
Perhaps it's related to his upbringing; Fu Youye is used to it.
As long as she can live, or be in a favorable position, she can become countless versions of herself in the eyes of countless people.
Ever-changing.
Just like what Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu saw today, she was just a simple, naive girl who only knew how to deal with code.
But Lu Jiayi had seen her ruthless side in Kyoto before. She could break someone's fingers and stomp on two of their ribs, and then turn around and smile at her as if nothing had happened, asking her what she wanted to eat for dinner.
This scene at first sight truly overturned Lu Jiayi's worldview.
Even knowing that she was known as the "Medusa lookalike" in Kyoto, he still chose to marry her because of the power behind her.
But that day marked the first time I considered quitting.
But later, it was Fu You who stood by her side and helped her break the leg bones of the man her younger brother had sent to kill her.
Even though Fu You later looked at her disdainfully and said, "Future wife, you're a bit weak."
Lu Jiayi still chose to proceed with the arranged marriage and moved up the wedding date.
If that's what Liang Shi and the others think, then let them think that way.
Anyway, they will eventually return to Kyoto.
Now that things are settled with Haizhou, I still need to go back to Kyoto to clean up the mess.
The Lu family would never give it to someone with no reputation or status.

Liang Shi was unaware of the complicated relationship between them.
In contrast, she and Xu Qingzhu both believed that Lu Jiayi and Fu You were a good match.
They all felt that Lu Jiayi was a cunning and opportunistic person, and that she would be better matched with an innocent and naive girl.
Fortunately, Lu Jiayi didn't know.
Otherwise, I'd vomit blood.
This spring is a vibrant spring.
Everything grows towards the sun, which is wonderful.
Liang Shi has fully adapted to the pace of life here. After filming "Yu Guang", she immediately joined the cast of that period drama. Although she was the second female lead, the character's personality was very appealing.
Then, the broadcast of "Let's Go Now" received a very enthusiastic response.
Especially after netizens learned that Liang Shi and Liang Xinran were the real and fake heiresses, they watched the program with a magnifying glass, but the two really didn't have much interaction. Liang Shi didn't talk to Liang Xinran much on the show.
Because of Liang Xinzhou's involvement, the production team cut many of Liang Shi's scenes.
This avoids disputes.
Liang Xinran did not cause Liang Shi any further trouble.
To be precise, the two kept to themselves.
This spring, Liang Wanwan chose to study abroad.
Gu Yixue was lazy all spring, saying she was working on the script, but her new script was still nowhere in sight.
Everything was calm and peaceful.
Liang Shi would occasionally meet up with Zhao Xuning for meals, sometimes bring wine to chat with Chen Mian, and occasionally wander around Gu Yixue's studio.
Most of the time, I'm shuttling between the film set and home.
It was also in this spring that Liang Shi decided to buy a house.
There happened to be a large penthouse for sale upstairs, so she bought it.
She didn't move directly into the house Liang Xinzhou gave her.
The day they moved was a clear and sunny day, and Liang Shi even invited Zhao Xuning and the others to dinner.
Many people gathered at home, and Liang Shi, urged by Sally, drank until he was completely drunk.
For some reason, Zhao Xuning also joined in the fun. Even though he was supposed to be on duty the next day, he got completely drunk with them and slept on the floor all night. When he woke up the next day, he was still sneezing repeatedly.
Liang Shi was fine; he even got up the next day to cook her a hangover soup and advised her to skip work instead of going to the hospital while she was sick, wondering if she was going to become a doctor or be hospitalized.
Zhao Xuning remained unmoved, letting her words go in one ear and out the other, or perhaps not even getting them in.
Xu Qingzhu was the most obedient; even if she moved to a different place, it didn't affect her much.
As a pregnant woman, she couldn't drink alcohol. Moreover, she was exhausted from packing the day before the move, and while they were still drinking, Xu Qingzhu was already so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open. She got up and went back to her room to sleep.
They didn't even know when Liang Shi returned to his room.
After Xu Qingzhu got up, she saw Zhao Xuning sneezing repeatedly and looking somewhat listless. She went over and touched her forehead, but Zhao Xuning, who had her eyes lowered and looked dazed, grabbed her wrist.
Xu Qingzhu gasped.
Zhao Xuning immediately let go of her hand, "Sorry."
"It's okay." Xu Qingzhu joked, "Luckily I've gained weight now, otherwise, with my old figure, you would have broken my bones with that blow."
Zhao Xuning pressed his temples and said nothing more.
But Xu Qingzhu said to her, "Dr. Zhao, you have a fever."
"Really?" Zhao Xuning raised his hand and touched his forehead.
"You can't tell by trying it yourself." Xu Qingzhu said as she went to look for a thermometer at home, but she had just moved and some clutter hadn't been put away yet, so she couldn't find it. Zhao Xuning told her not to bother, since she would be going to the hospital soon anyway.
Liang Shi also came out and touched her forehead. "It is indeed a little hot."
He continued to try to persuade her not to go to the hospital, but Zhao Xuning did not listen.
In the morning, Zhao Xuning walked with Chen Mian. Seeing that she was not in good condition, Chen Mian took her to the hospital entrance before going back to catch up on sleep.
While Liang Shi was having breakfast at home, he chatted with Xu Qingzhu about how Gu Yixue had received a phone call around midnight and then took a taxi.
Chen Mian, Zhao Xuning, Liang Shi, and Lin Luoxi drank until very late.
Sally kept clamoring to drink, but her alcohol tolerance was only average.
She's not as good as Lin Luoxi.
Later, Zhao Ying made a video call to Zhao Xuning and chatted casually for a few minutes.
Afterwards, Zhao Ying sent Zhao Xuning a message, and Zhao Xuning's expression changed upon seeing the message.
She drinks alcohol like it's water; if Liang Shi hadn't stopped her, she probably could have drunk three bottles of baijiu in a row.
He drank it directly until he had a stomach hemorrhage.
Xu Qingzhu shrugged: "It should be related to Shen Hui."
"I guessed so," Liang Shi said. "But what exactly is it about?"
“Shen Hui’s engagement date has been set,” Xu Qingzhu said. “It’s in two weeks.”
Liang Shi: "?"
"So sudden?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu didn't think so: "It's alright. They've been talking about getting engaged since last year, and it's been almost half a year now. Maybe they're waiting for something."
Liang Shi: "Waiting for Zhao Xuning?"
Xu Qingzhu shook her head: "Then I don't know."
In fact, they both knew that this was 90% true.
However, Zhao Xuning would only take one step each time, and then retreat after encountering a slight setback, not daring to move forward again, whether out of fear of Shen Hui or something else.
Ultimately, he's very timid.
Every time Liang Shi talked to Xu Qingzhu about the Zhao Xuning of the past, he felt that he was not the same person as the current one.
The Zhao Xuning of the past was full of vigor, arrogance and pride, but now he is dull and listless, like a soulless shell, waking up numbly every day, working numbly, and sleeping numbly.
Her face showed none of the heroic spirit of a genius young girl, only the air of impending death.
Even though Shen Hui said she would let her go.
He stopped bothering her.
She still couldn't let herself go. Occasionally, she would visit Shen Hui at the hospital, stand outside the hospital for a cigarette, and then go to work.
Once, Liang Shi went out to dinner with her and ran into Shen Hui and her girlfriend.
It must be the college classmate Zhao Xuning mentioned before. He was good-looking and considerate. He always smiled and looked at Shen Hui when he spoke. Liang Shi felt that he was being flattering and hypocritical. Before leaving, he even came over to greet Zhao Xuning. His words were not very polite. Shen Hui just watched.
Liang Shi didn't like that woman very much; she seemed to have some ulterior motive in approaching Shen Hui.
Zhao Xuning later said that the family didn't have much money. They used to own a company, but it went bankrupt when they were in college.
This might be the reason why they seem mercenary.
But most importantly, this person didn't have much genuine affection for Shen Hui.
Liang Shi again urged Zhao Xuning to let Shen Hui stay, but Zhao Xuning walked to the door, watched the two figures disappear, smoked a cigarette, and went back.
Liang Shi scolded her for being too cowardly.
Zhao Xuning merely curled the corners of his lips without saying a word.
At that moment, Zhao Xuning's eyes were red, filled with tears, and also with a feeling of fear.
Later, Zhao Xuning got drunk at a bar one day and said something to Liang Shi after he had too much to drink.
She said, "I only now realize how much I love her, so I'm afraid she's not doing as well as I am, and even more afraid that she's not doing well."
Zhao Xuning's voice was hoarse. She said to Liang Shi, "I can keep her, but is it right for me to keep her? What if we repeat the same mistakes? I'm afraid of seeing her disgust, and I'm even more afraid that I'll keep her but not be able to give her happiness."
Of the ten thousand times a broken mirror is mended, nine thousand nine hundred times the same mistake is repeated.
Zhao Xuning dared not gamble.
