290 Zhang Yue’s Hesitation

She bit her lower lip and ignored the gazes of the others. She quickly continued to ask, “Brother Zhang, let’s quickly confirm our relationship. I don’t want them to gossip behind my back.”

The urgency in Gu Rou’s tone was almost overflowing. After saying that, she held her phone nervously and waited for Zhang Yue to continue.

However, there was no response for a long time. Only when Gu Rou was getting impatient did Zhang Yue speak slowly.

“Rou’er, it’s not time yet. Let’s wait a little longer, okay? Don’t be anxious. As for those gossiping friends, it’s better to cut ties with them as soon as possible. They’re not worthy of being your friends. I still have something on. Let’s call later.”

!!

Zhang Yue hurriedly hung up. A busy tone came from Gu Rou’s phone. She did not even have time to speak.

She looked at the disconnected interface in disbelief.

“What’s wrong with Zhang Yue? Could it be that he wants to go back on his word?”

Qu Bei’s attitude immediately changed. Her tone was filled with hatred and she could not help but scold, “The Zhang Family was fine at that time, but it dragged on until now. Now that something has happened to our Gu Family, they want to quickly cut ties, right?”

“Enough. The most important thing now is how to get Zhang Yue to agree!” Gu Yuan interrupted Qu Bei and his cold gaze landed on Gu Rou’s face. “If you really have some ability, win his heart back for me. Only the Zhang family can step in.”

His words were exceptionally cold, completely unlike the intimacy he had with his precious daughter. Gu Rou knew that Gu Yuan was blaming him, but now was not the time to talk back. She could only nod obediently.

Facing Zhang Yue’s cold attitude, she was more anxious than anyone else.

Damn it, why did things turn out like this? It was all Gu Man’s fault. If not for her, her engagement to Zhang Yue would have been settled.

Gu Rou bit her lower lip and felt nothing despite the blood. Her heart was filled with hatred for Gu Man.

It was not a good time to call Zhang Yue. Gu Rou decided to send him a message first.

[Brother Zhang, I was a little anxious just now. Are you free tomorrow? I want to ask you about the details of the necklace.]

She thought of a reason, organized her words, and sent the message.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue was not really angry and quickly replied with an agreement.

Seeing the message from Zhang Yue, Gu Rou heaved a sigh of relief.

It would be great if she could get Zhang Yue to testify. That way, she would not have to go through so much trouble.

As soon as this thought appeared, Gu Rou suddenly had a plan.

Since she could not make fake evidence, she would make what was fake become real.

Looking at the chat history on her phone page, she sent another message.

[Brother Zhang, I heard that there’s an auction in the ghost market tomorrow. Can you accompany me?]

[Sure.]

Perhaps it was because he did not reply directly just now, Zhang Yue agreed readily.

A smile finally appeared on Gu Rou’s face. Qu Bei asked curiously, “Rou’er, do you have a plan?”

“Yes, don’t go out for the next few days. Just stay at home.”

Ever since this matter fermented, the Gu Family rarely went out because they could not stand the scolding of others.

Now that the Gu Family’s reputation for putting on a show had been confirmed, it could be said that their reputation was ruined.

“I’m not going out. Can Roux tell me about your plan? See if there’s anything I can do to help.”

Gu Rou’s eyes darted around and she said slowly, “I plan to use Zhang Yue’s guilt to get him to buy a million-dollar necklace for me at the auction and frame Gu Man with this necklace.”

There was obvious hesitation on Qu Bei’s face. “Can this really be done? Won’t it be investigated by the police?”

Gu Rou knew that Qu Bei was referring to what had been investigated previously. She shook her head firmly.

“No, only those who participate in the auction know about the auction items. Moreover, no one knows who won every item. This auction can’t compare to that kind of small auction. It’s said that there’s a treasure hidden in the ghost market this time.”
