บท 40: Chapter 40: The Socially Anxious Gu Youyou

Compared to the suspicion surrounding Zhou You's potential alliance with thieves, and Perfected Chong Xu's massive blow, the new piece of gossip wasn't really a big deal.

But this piece of gossip was indeed pretty decent.

The one who revealed Zhou Ran's antics was Chen Runyu. She usually comes off as naive and innocent, but when it's time to fight for her idol, her intelligence instantly takes the high ground.

While others engaged in verbal battles, she traced the rumors back to their source.

Zhou Ran didn't think about covering up his actions at all, which made it easy for them to get exposed.

The rumor started from Zhou Ran's minions. They could have stopped at discussing the fact that Zhang Chi was sent back, but Zhou Ran got increasingly excited and started adding his own opinions.

He had people going around saying that all of Tang Ruoling's complications were designed by Zhang Chi and that Zhang Chi's past achievements were all fake.
