The scandal between the Sun and Qiu families was well known in the business circle, and considering that the victim was An Lan's former broker and the current artist director at Peak, there was also some buzz in the entertainment industry. As a result, Sun Ling faced some harassment at the hospital.
When the affairs of the wealthy were involved, and particularly when they were linked to Sun Ling's status, there would always be rumors that carried a decadent and ambiguous flavor, which greatly annoyed her.
