Chapter 1073: Just Acting

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gong Xin clutched her stomach and let out a dramatic wail. "I ate something bad, okay? Had to drag myself to the hospital unless I wanted to just curl up and die from the pain."

Gu Zi rolled her eyes, unable to suppress her exasperation. "Seriously? How old are you now? And you still manage to get food poisoning on a regular basis? Maybe try thinking before you eat something suspicious. Also, why are you here with him?"

She didn’t particularly care who Gong Xin hung out with, but the image of Jin Long’s devastated expression flashed in her mind. The guy had always treated her with the utmost loyalty—he was practically family. If he had been hurt by this, the least she could do was get to the bottom of it. Even if it was bad news, he deserved to know.

Gong Xin glanced sideways at Wu Hao before turning back to Gu Zi. "Long story. And honestly, I’m feeling too terrible to explain everything right now. If it weren’t for him, I probably would’ve collapsed a few times on the way here. Food poisoning is no joke, I swear."

Gu Zi immediately understood why Jin Long had been so distraught. He must have seen Gong Xin and Wu Hao together at the hospital—Wu Hao probably helped Gong Xin walk or something—and in Jin Long’s eyes, that must have looked like some intimate gesture.

Just as she was about to say something, an indignant voice interrupted them. "Wu Hao, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and help Gong Xin into the car! And you—married woman—what are you doing loitering around with another man? Doesn’t your husband have any control over you?"

Gu Zi turned, narrowing her eyes at the vaguely familiar woman. "Excuse me? And who exactly are you?"

The woman scoffed. "Oh, how quickly we forget. I suppose now that you’re a top student in the province, you think you’re too good to remember people from the old neighborhood."

Gong Xin leaned in, whispering just loud enough for Gu Zi to hear. "You don’t recognize her? That’s Wu Hao’s mother. The one who always had a problem with you."

Ah. Now it clicked. Back when they were kids, Wu Hao had been oddly fixated on Gu Zi, constantly following her around like a devoted puppy. But Gu Zi had zero interest in entertaining his company—her world had revolved around Gong Zhan back then.

The Wu family had taken it personally, thinking she had snubbed their son. In the end, they had even sent Wu Hao abroad, hoping he’d forget about her.
