185 Sister Man Is Stupid?
When Gu Rou heard Zhang Yue’s words, she was unhappy. She could clearly sense that Zhang Yue was trying to defend himself, but she did not want to expose him right there and then. She only said helplessly, “Our Gu family also wants her to stay at home, but Gu Man is not satisfied. She insisted on causing these things. We don’t know what to do.”
Qu Bei saw that Gu Rou did not look very happy and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? You were so happy just now. Why are you suddenly like this? Did you guys have a fight?”
Zhang Yue quickly said, “Auntie, that’s not it. We’re fine. We were just chatting casually.”
However, Gu Rou said, “I was telling Brother Yue that Gu Man gave me a hard time just now. I thought that she would be happy for me, but in the end, I was scolded by her until I couldn’t face anyone. Now that I think about it, I feel a little disappointed. I’ve been so good to her in vain.”
When Qu Bei heard this, she immediately said angrily, “How ridiculous. Is Gu Man being stupid? She keeps pulling a long face at our family all day, as if we owe her.”
When Gu Yuan heard this, he felt guilty for a while.
The Gu family did owe her. To be precise, they owed the Huang family.
However, these things had already been sealed up and were finally over. Therefore, Gu Yuan said with a clear conscience, “We didn’t treat her badly. She was the one who wanted to go out and stay. In the end, it was as if our Gu family chased her out. It’s really ridiculous.”
“That’s right. She was the one who said that she would rather be a beggar than return to the Gu Family. It’s not like we’re the ones who chased her out. Since she wants to go out and stay, let’s just let her leave. Let’s see how long she can be stubborn!” Qu Bei said in a low voice.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she asked in surprise, “I heard from Yue’er that Gu Man left the Gu family. Is that true?”
Gu Yuan nodded as if he was sighing. “Yes, she’s been gone for a few days. I don’t know what she’s thinking.”
“This... Then where did she go to stay?”
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, “We don’t know. She has already blocked our number. We can’t contact her.”
“Isn’t Gu Man here? Let’s ask her. How can a high school student wander outside? It’s too outrageous. If word gets out, not only will it embarrass her, it will also embarrass your Gu family.”
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking to Gu Yuan, she straightened her neck slightly and looked around. She realized that Gu Man was in a corner of the banquet.
Gu Rou quickly hesitated and said, “This... might not be good. Gu Man doesn’t have any qualms when she speaks. If she says anything bad later, it won’t be good for either of us. This is a public place and it’s not appropriate to have a conflict. I think it’s better to communicate with her in private.”
Gu Rou recalled that Gu Man had threatened her just now, saying that if she forced her again, she might say something even worse.
Gu Rou thought that Gu Man could go all out, but she and the Gu family could not. The reputation she had painstakingly built could not be ruined by Gu Man.
However, Qu Bei sneered. “I just want to say it in public. The eyes of the public are bright. I want to see how good her mouth is.”
Gu Rou persuaded, “Mom, it’s not good for us to embarrass Gu Man in public.”
Qu Bei did not think much of it. “Your father, your Auntie Zhang, and I will go look for her and see what she has to say. Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I’m not a shrew.”
Gu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, “We’ll just go over and talk to her for a while. We’re not causing trouble. You’re just a kind child, afraid that we’ll disturb Gu Man.”
Gu Rou hoped that they could really teach Gu Man a lesson, but she was worried that it would be difficult if things got out of hand.
Qu Bei did not care about Gu Rou’s dilemma. She led Mrs. Zhang towards Gu Man.
Mrs. Zhou was originally chatting with the other madams, but she suddenly saw Gu Yuan and the others walking straight towards Gu Man. She immediately had a bad feeling and quickly said to Xiang Li, “Mrs. Bai, let’s go talk to the children. I wonder how they’re doing.”
When Xiang Li heard this, she smiled and said, “Sure, let’s go and see what they’re doing. They usually hate such banquets the most. They’ll get bored after a while.”
Hence, the two of them walked towards Gu Man.
