"Miss Gu, why have you remained silent?"
"Second Miss Gu, are the rumors of you being a mistress true?"
"May we inquire about the identity of Second Miss Gu's partner? Which young master?"
The journalists were eager for a sensational scoop, every gaze riveted on Gu Qingcheng.

Now that the reporters were converging on Gu Qingcheng, it was not her concern. She wouldn't step in to rescue her proactively.
