As news of the impending alliance through marriage between the Zhou and He families spread wider in high society circles, many girls who, like Xu Jiaping, had a crush on Zhou Liao, had their hearts of love completely shattered.
Their male god was taken.
At such a young age, he had been snagged by someone.
In an instant, many became curious about Lai Zhiyun, who had managed to snag Zhou Liao. They started forming small groups to dig into her past, and gradually, Zhiyun's reputation as an academic slacker spread far and wide in the circles.
Some said that since Director He did not send his academically challenged youngest daughter abroad to add a golden touch to her resume, she must be out of favor, which is likely why she was arranged for a marriage right after graduating from college.
Others commented that a slacker like her was not worthy of Zhou Liao—as they surely had nothing in common to talk about.
