During this time, Gu Yang worked part-time at various mental hospitals in the capital and conducted research with professors from the Psychology Society and the Society of Mental Disorders. This extensive involvement led to some rumors circulating in the capital circles, with people speculating about her health.
At a banquet, Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling clarified that, aside from studying physics, Gu Yang was also engaged in psychology and mental illness research and worked part-time at the hospital.
Despite the gossip, the social elite refrained from showing any disrespect to the Madam of the Xiao family or the Madam of the Gu family, choosing to keep their comments private.
Throughout this period, Gu Yang did not return to her school dormitory or the Gu family home but instead stayed at the Xiao family's residence. Gu Jin, Feng Jue, and Cao Cuo respected her space and did not press her for interaction. Instead, they took turns ordering takeout for her and sending gifts.
