“Elder Zhang, you might not know, but I don’t know who Gu Man hooked up with. This matter can’t be suppressed at all.”
Old Master Zhang was silent for a moment when he heard this.
“She’s so young, but she’s already so scheming. 1 want to see who this Gu Man is to make you guys helpless.”
When Gu Yuan heard this, his ugly expression immediately changed.
Old Master Zhang meant that he was going to make a move. With the Zhang family’s help, what were they afraid of?
“Thank you, Elder Zhang. It’s just that I’m too incompetent. We still need Elder Zhang to teach her a lesson.”
“It’s good that you know. This time, I’m doing this for the sake of our relationship and the engagement. However, if this happens again, 1 won’t accept this engagement even if 1 have to call it off.”
Gu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly promised.
“Elder Zhang, don’t worry. If there are no villains interfering, such a thing will definitely not happen again. However, can 1 trouble you to help us?”
Old Master Zhang naturally understood what Gu Yuan was talking about. He sneered.
“Just this once, you piece of shit.”
Ever since Gu Rou found out about Old Master Zhang’s call, she had been listening attentively. Hearing Gu Yuan’s softened tone, her nervous heart calmed down.
God knew how nervous she was when she saw Zhang Yue send her a message just now saying that Old Master Zhang wanted to settle scores with their family. Fortunately, the final situation was still under control.
After hanging up the phone, although he had been scolded a lot during the process, Gu Yuan’s expression relaxed and even carried a hint of ruthlessness.
“With Elder Zhang’s help, let’s see how that little girl can still be active. She’s just holding onto something that can be used against her. She really thinks highly of herself.”
Seeing this, Qu Bei took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
“She doesn’t even know how capable she is. Without her family, what is she? Does she really think that she can rely on her youth to obtain the affection of an old man for long?”
Hearing this, Gu Yuan frowned tightly and revealed a disgusted expression.
“She’s already in a bad state of mind at such a young age. 1 wonder if that person from the Xiang family knows about this?”
“Could it be that the person from the Xiang family made a move and that’s why the matter is so difficult to resolve?”
Gu Zhi said carefully. Previously, she did not know about the four great families at all, but under the influence here, she understood their power.
That was why she said her guess. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said it, Qu Bei glared at her.
Gu Yuan’s expression instantly became solemn.
“If it’s really that person from the Xiang family, I’m afraid even Elder Zhang won’t be able to resolve it.”
Qu Bei hurriedly comforted him.
“There can be other heirs, but there’s only one Old Master Zhang. The Xiang family might not care about this heir.”
When Gu Yuan heard Qu Bei’s words, he held her hand and felt much better.
“You’re right. Besides, the person Gu Man can hook up with is definitely not someone of high status.”
Gu Man had yet to know that Old Master Zhang was prepared to interfere in this matter. She was standing beside Xiang Yin’s car and looking at the two people beside her who were wary of the person sitting in the car.
“Grandma, I’ll send you there,” Xiang Yin said.
When Grandma heard this, she immediately said sarcastically, “Please don’t call me Grandma. 1 can’t be your Grandma.”
Xiang Yin did not understand where this sudden malice came from, but he still said good-naturedly, “Gu Man doesn’t have a car. It’s on the way. 1 can send you there.”
When Grandma and Huang Jun heard this, they hesitated a little. After all, having a car to drive them in was nicer to look at than having a taxi to drive them in. They did not want to embarrass themselves in front of the Cui family.
Gu Man did not have any worries and opened the passenger door.
Unexpectedly, before she could get in, her grandmother pulled Gu Man to the back driver’s seat, opened the car door, and pushed her in. She also got in and pulled Huang Jue into the car.
“Manman, Grandma wants to sit with you. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Gu Man shook her head with no expression on her face. She had only opened the passenger door out of habit.
Seeing this, Huang Jun could only sit alone in the front passenger seat. He secretly sized up Xiang Yin beside him. Actually, he was still a little afraid of his identity..
