บท 752: Shared Weariness

Gu Zi explained, "It's not certain yet, but it shouldn't be long. Mother, don't worry, Su Shen has everything under control."

An Yun felt relieved. "That's good to hear," she said. "There's something else I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier. The Gu family came looking for us. They knew you had moved into the city and wanted your address. I told them I didn't know. After a bit of back-and-forth, they left in a huff. But I heard something disturbing.

"They claimed that Lin Miao said you stole her job. They said the writing job you have now should have been hers. It's utter nonsense. The Gu family hasn't bothered you about this, have they?"

An Yun's tone became indignant. She knew that Gu Zi hadn't stolen anything from Lin Miao. Lin Miao was in jail, how could she possibly have had this job opportunity? 

Gu Zi listened, her eyes narrowing slightly as a thoughtful and puzzled look graced her face. "Lin Miao said I stole her job? She's certain of this?"
