Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 890: Chapter 889: She Must Be Waiting for Madam Ding

Bai Yingqing clearly misunderstood the meaning of the words.

Completely unaware that Gu Tong was referring to the ’Human Tooth’ case.

Of course, Gu Tong did not bother to explain anything, and instead accepted Bai Yingqing’s goodwill.

”By the way, earlier Chu Xiran kept checking the time, as if waiting for something.”

Gu Tong asked with some confusion.

However, she didn’t treat Bai Yingqing as an outsider, after all, she knew about Chu Xiran’s matters; no one is foolish, and there’s no need to hide it for her.

”She must be waiting for Mrs. Ding.”

Bai Yingqing could easily see that Gu Tong completely didn’t understand the affairs of the Shoucheng ladies, so she explained: ”Ding Suzhu is famously big-mouthed in the circle; if anything reaches her ears, it will literally be known by everyone.”

”Moreover, she runs a dress shop business, competing with the Wan Family’s business. It wouldn’t even take a day for a rumor to spread about a dress shop’s dressing room wall collapsing and some lady being seen by a passerby. The entire Shoucheng elite circle would be buzzing with gossip.”

Gu Tong raised an eyebrow and said, ”What if Mrs. Ding has some trouble on the way, and couldn’t arrive on time?”

”Mrs. Ding is always punctual, she must have scheduled a time. Even if she were late, it wouldn’t matter; Chu Xiran could stay in the store making a fuss, waiting for Mrs. Ding, or wait for her to arrive and have the female guide tell her the news.”

Either solution is incredibly malicious.

Only someone like Chu Xiran could come up with such a disgusting trick.

”Actually, normally, Chu Xiran disdains associating with Mrs. Ding. But when there’s a need to harm someone, she actually thinks of Mrs. Ding—it’s truly laughable.”

Bai Yingqing mocked in a cold voice, further finding Chu Xiran utterly despicable.

”Just because Mrs. Ding is big-mouthed?”

Gu Tong didn’t feel strongly about Ding Suzhu when she first met her, but she didn’t dislike her.

”That’s not all.” Bai Yingqing frowned and said, ”The two of them started from scratch, not originally from wealthy families. When they first joined the elite parties, they made a lot of jokes.”

”Because of that?” Gu Tong blinked in surprise.

”Of course not, the family members aren’t that narrow-minded.” Bai Yingqing waved her hand quickly and said, ”Mrs. Ding has a sister, very frail, with a weak heart. Mrs. Ding is very harsh on her, seemingly often mistreating her, unbearably so—they say it’s hard to listen to...”

This matter was quite a sensation in the circle back then, and many people utterly despised Mrs. Ding.

Some even suspected that Mrs. Ding was afraid that her prettier sister might seduce her brother-in-law or something, so she deliberately bullied her.

Bai Yingqing, being a righteous person herself, disdainful of associating with such people, naturally kept her distance.

As for Chu Xiran, it was simpler: when the walls fall, everyone pushes. If she didn’t despise Mrs. Ding, how could she show her nobility?

”I see.”

Regarding such matters, Gu Tong merely listened.

Humans have ears and eyes; ears to hear, and eyes to judge right from wrong.

Therefore, she never comments on things not personally witnessed.

It was like a habit for her.

”I didn’t look into this deeply either, but I still stayed away. After all, Mrs. Ding’s status is awkward; if you can’t get close, there’s no need to get entangled in trouble.”

Bai Yingqing was not foolish either, equally understanding the truth of seeing is believing.

However, minding one’s own business is always human nature and instinct.

There’s no need to entangle too much with someone not well acquainted like Mrs. Ding, especially since she’s a gossip-monger; even trying to befriend her might scare others away.
