If you're ruthless enough and beautiful, even without any particularly outstanding qualities, you still have a chance to succeed.
Xiao Su is one such example.
"How can I trust you?" Gu Mu looked at Xiao Su with a half-smile. He lowered his head slightly and asked softly, "After all, if you can deceive those people, you can deceive me too, right?"
