"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?"

Now that the reporters were converging on Gu Qingcheng, it was not her concern. She wouldn't step in to rescue her proactively.
After all, she had already leveraged her threat against Gu Qingcheng, securing the safety of her daughter, Gu Mei. Now, it was up to Gu Qingcheng to navigate the reporters' challenge using her own skills.
In this moment, Qi Shaoze's vibrant voice chimed in, "I was wondering where my queen had vanished to. So, you're here."
