No need to guess, it definitely has to do with Xia Jianqing.
Indeed,
"Today, when I met with Jianqing, he asked me to relay a message to you. He said that the inheritance his father took from you, he will earn the money to pay you back, and he hopes you could spare his father's life..." Chenxing's voice got softer and softer, sneaking a peek at him. She noticed his expression gradually becoming somber, her head buzzed with regret, but still she finished the message: "life."
Gu Shaocheng heard this and did not respond, waiting for a long time, "Is that everything? If there's anything else, say it all at once."
She shook her head, looking at him: "That's it."
"Hmm, you've conveyed the message, the rest has nothing to do with you."
Chenxing blinked, "So do you agree or not?"
"Did he ask you to deliver a message, or to whisper in my ear?" Gu Shaocheng showed interest by grabbing her hand and playing with it, drawing circles on her hand as it rested on his knee.
