Upon seeing Gu Dai's state, sympathy flooded the hearts of those around. Suddenly, the realization hit them, as they exchanged words with the people around them?
"Did we just get played?"
"So this woman moves into someone's house, gets kicked out and plays the victim? She's guilt-tripping this poor girl. Am I getting it wrong?"
"No, you're right! This girl is too nice for her own good. Despite how they've treated her, she still helped them out. If it were me, I wouldn't give them a second glance, much less pay their medical bills!"
...
Word after word reached Gu Dai, each comment making her smile grow wider and her steps lighter.
Meanwhile, Liu Min's face was as long as a rainy day. She had hoped Gu Dai would be berated for being unfilial, but instead found herself the target of everyone's scorn. To avoid further embarrassment, she slipped away to Gu Ming's ward.
