"Ahem… Mrs. Gao meant that your Yuning might have someone she likes, and that's why she doesn't go on blind dates."
After she said it, Huo Mian kicked Zhu Lingling under the table, warning her to be careful with her words.
"Oh, that's quite likely. I'll ask her later."
Mrs. Chen seemed to accept this explanation.
Huo Mian continued, "Madam, is Yuning your only child?"
"Yeah. To tell you the truth, we had Yuning in the eighth year of our marriage, so she's the apple of our eyes."
"Yeah, we can see that. You raised Yuning well… So, we're not pleased when her colleagues gossip about her."
"Gossip? What kind of gossip?"
Not stupid, Mrs. Chen heard the hidden meaning in Huo Mian's words.
"They just say that Yuning, a newly graduated young girl, always cozies up to the leaders of the bureau, using her pretty face… But most of the leaders of the bureau are married men, so this kind of rumor is kind of vicious…"
