The gossip of these people reached the ears of Gu Jin and An Mingji.
The former didn't care and didn't take it to heart.
An Mingji couldn't bear those remarks; his hands began to clench, and his whole body trembled.
Noticing his distress, Gu Jin quickly stopped, squatted down, and held his hands, gently asking, "What's wrong?"
Facing his bloodshot eyes, Gu Jin felt a sense of pity: "Don't listen to them. I know you're a good kid, don't be afraid."
With clenched teeth, An Mingji spoke in grievance: "I didn't..."
Thinking of everything he experienced at Liu Lao'er's home made him tremble uncontrollably.
"I believe you, An. If you say you didn't, then you didn't." Gu Jin embraced him, coldly sweeping her eyes over the women who spoke earlier.
