The incident of Su Li's abduction had occurred, and Gu Zi had never considered seeking help from her foster father's family. However, Zhang Mei's callous remarks were unforgivable. Now, whenever Gu Zi encountered Zhang Mei, she couldn't even muster the pretense of civility.
Zhang Mei, on the other hand, was much more agitated. She rushed forward, accusing Gu Zi loudly, "Well, look at you! I heard you were at the military hospital, and I didn't believe it, but here you are! How shameless can you be? Gong Zhan is married now, yet you follow him everywhere. Stand still! I demand you leave the capital immediately, do you understand?"
Zhang Mei was a woman of action, and if she perceived Gu Zi as a threat to her relationship with Gong Zhan, she would interpret any of Gu Zi's actions as attempts to win Gong Zhan back, regardless of the truth.
