Chapter 5: The Scheming Woman
Gu Man slowly woke up from a very messy dream. She was still a little dizzy.
But it was already bustling downstairs.
Yes, the incident about the video from last night had yet to be resolved. It seemed like a group of bored people who liked to gossip had come to seek verification.
Very good. Then, she would pity them and tell them the truth.
Gu Man tidied herself up a little. When she went downstairs, she did not forget to go to the dining table to eat a snack and drink a cup of milk.
This matter was far from enough for her to deal with it on an empty stomach.
The servant looked at Gu Man’s heartlessness and despised her in their hearts. She was really shameless!
Some gossip reporters and onlookers outside had already surrounded the door of the Gu Family residence.
Gu Rou was waiting for Gu Man at the door. She was still wearing a white dress today with a high ponytail, looking innocent.
Gu Man couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Gu Rou only knew how to take advantage of looks.
When Gu Man was in the room, she had rummaged through the clothes in the original owner’s closet. They were all white or floral dresses that were similar to Gu Rou’s style.
She probably thought that Zhang Yue liked this style.
However, this was not her style!
In the end, she could only tear off a piece of her dress to form a high-waisted top and made it barely match with a pair of tight high-waisted jeans. 5
As soon as Gu Man appeared, the scene exploded.
“This is Gu Man. I can tell from her dressing that she’s up to no good!”
“She looks so decent, but she’s actually a mistress. How shameless!”
“I heard that she came back from the countryside. She’s the adopted daughter of the Gu family. Indeed, she can’t compare to the real Miss Gu!”
“I can tell from this face that she won’t be easy to deal with. But there’s a video to testify. Let’s see how she defends herself.”
Gu Rou was overjoyed when she heard this ridicule. It was easy to deal with Gu Man!
Be it Zhang Yue or the Gu family, don’t even think about snatching it from me!
“Gu Man, how do you explain this video online?”
“Gu Man, why are you pulling Gu Rou’s boyfriend?”
Actually, Gu Man did not want to answer these questions. Anyway, she knew that she was innocent.
However, it seemed that if she did not give them an answer, they would not let her get away.
In the video, she was indeed the one who pulled Zhang Yue into the same room as her. There was no way to explain this. She couldn’t possibly say that she was not the Gu Man in the video, could she?
Only a fool would believe that!
She would just tell the truth.
“I did have a good impression of Zhang Yue, but I don’t like him anymore. We’re innocent. Gu Rou was there at that time. You can ask her too.”
“Miss Gu Rou, where were you when the incident happened?”
“Miss Gu Rou, what do you think of your sister’s actions?”
Seeing that Gu Man was silent, everyone asked Gu Rou questions.
Gu Rou replied softly, “I was drinking coffee on the first floor. I believe in my sister. She didn’t mean to look for my boyfriend. She might have encountered something and needed help. Everyone, don’t speculate about my sister. Please!”
Gu Man cursed in her heart. Was it really good to lie so righteously? Drinking coffee on the first floor? What a joke! 1
She wondered how she would try to cover up the lie after she produced the evidence. She was looking forward to it!
Gu Rou panicked when she saw Gu Man looking at her gloatingly. But on second thought, Gu Man had always been as stupid as a pig and as timid as a mouse. What was there to worry about?
“Was Sister really drinking coffee on the first floor back then? Your reputation will be ruined if your lie is exposed. Aren’t you afraid?”
Gu Rou pretended to be sad. “I’m not blaming you. Everyone will understand you in the end. Why do you hate me so much?!”
Everyone started discussing again. Of course, they were mocking Gu Man.
“I have a video here. I just posted it on the Han City Entertainment forum. Everyone, go take a look.”
Everyone quickly turned on their phones. The video included the part that Qu Bei showed her. It also included the part where Gu Rou and Zhang Yue were walking out of the room after she left the room.
“What’s going on? Didn’t Miss Gu Rou say that she was on the first floor?”
“Gu Man only took eight minutes to leave the room after entering. She can’t do anything, right? Besides, Gu Rou is still in the room.”
“Miss Gu Rou, can you explain?”
Gu Rou’s face turned pale. Gu Man actually had all the videos. Didn’t she already destroy them?
At this moment, Qu Bei had already rushed over. “Aiyo, my poor daughter. You forgot to take your medicine again. Look at you, you don’t even know what you’re saying.”
Then, she explained to everyone, “My Gu Rou has been weak since she was young. She hasn’t been feeling well recently. She was a little confused because she forgot to take her medicine yesterday. Please forgive her!”
She really knew how to put on a show.
“Firstly, if you want to believe that Zhang Yue will be done in eight minutes, I won’t interfere. Secondly, Gu Rou was in the room at that time, but she said that she was on the first floor. If you want to believe her clever mouth but not the video, I can’t do anything about it,” Gu Man said indifferently.
At this moment, there was a car parked under the shade of the tree at the entrance. One of the men couldn’t help but laugh, and the other man couldn’t help but smile.
It was Xiang Yin and Bai Yun! 2
