When the topic of Gong Zhan came up, Lin Miao's face flushed a deep shade of crimson.
How could she possibly know what Gong Zhan's current situation was? Ever since his release, she hadn't even seen him once.
However, she knew better than to admit this out loud. The motives behind these people's questions were far from simple. If they discovered just how distant her relationship with Gong Zhan truly was, they would undoubtedly give her the cold shoulder.
After a brief pause, Lin Miao crafted her response carefully. "As you all know, Gong Zhan sustained some injuries during his trip to the capital. He's not in a position to attend such a large gathering at the moment. However, he specifically instructed me to entertain all of you on his behalf. Once his health improves—and after my college entrance exams are over—we'll host another gathering to properly thank everyone."
