Gu Xiaoer, although seemingly naïve and silly at times, was certainly not foolish.
With a covert roll of her large eyes, she quickly grasped Wen Mu's intent—it was merely a tactic of shifting trouble onto others. She glanced at the surrounding gossiping gazes and Madam Qiao's questioning eyes with indifference, steadied her mind, and remained seated as if nothing was amiss.
This was definitely not the right time for her to stand out!
The moment she remained still, others became restless.
"Hey, Gu Xiaoer, are you blind or what? Don't you see that Madam Ning is standing?" Wen Xin spoke with arrogance, directing her words straight at Gu Xiaoer. Then she turned to sweet-talk Madam Qiao, "Aunt Qiao, Gu Xiaoer has a bad character. You should just kick her out early, don't let her spoil everyone's mood!"
Huh!
How do I have a bad character? Did I steal your family's cabbages or eat your food?
Gu Xiaoer scratched her head in annoyance, but still didn't budge and remained seated.
