After clashing with Shi Lan for one round, Gu's mother no longer spread rumors in public but murmured only in the ear of Gu Chengyu. However, her tone made it hard for the surrounding staff to ignore her words, but you couldn't fault her because she didn't stir up trouble in front of others; she just complained to her son.
There wasn't any malice in her actions, making you feel as though it was just a mother protecting her calf, and the things she spoke of sounded very much like the truth.
Whether true or false, people naturally love to gossip.
Just one morning later, Sun Ling had already heard several staff members joking around.
For instance, when An Lan once followed some wealthy client, or how many times An Lan had sold her body to pay off her brother's debts, and how An Lan clung to Gu Chengyu like a fly and wouldn't let go, etc.
