128 G.o.d Did It On Purpose
The car that sent Gu Man back slowly stopped outside the Gu residence. Another red sports car stopped beside it.
As soon as Gu Man got out of the car, she saw Gu Rou and Zhang Yue getting out.
Gu Man rolled her eyes at the sky. The heavens were deliberately teasing her. She had b.u.mped into them here two nights in a row.
Gu Man took two quick steps. She could predict what they would ask.
However, Gu Rou did not intend to let Gu Man off.
Seeing that Gu Man was walking faster, Gu Rou shouted anxiously, “Gu Man, wait for me.”
However, Gu Man ignored her cries. She entered the door and went up the steps. When she reached the hall, she realized that there were guests in the Gu family home.
A clear voice sounded. “Gu Man.”
Gu Man took a closer look. It was Zhou Ying. She looked to the side and saw Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhang.
Zhou Ying walked over, held Gu Man’s hand, and said, “We were eating nearby tonight. We wanted to walk around after dinner. We met Mrs. Gu, so we came to your house.”
Gu Man thought that it was good that they did not specially come to visit her.
Gu Man nodded at them. “Madams, I’ll go upstairs first. Excuse me.”
“Gu Man, it’s not easy for the two madams to come to our house as guests. Why don’t you talk to them?” Qu Bei, who was still smiling at the two madams, turned to Gu Man with impatience.
At this moment, Gu Rou entered. She immediately walked up to Mrs. Zhou and called out, “h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Zhou.”
She went to Mrs. Zhang and said familiarly, “h.e.l.lo, Auntie.”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, but Mrs. Zhang said with relief, “Gu Rou is so sensible.”
This formed a stark contrast. One was warm and sensible, while the other was cold and isolated.
Gu Rou was about to laugh out loud in her heart. She said sweetly, “Thank you for your praise, Auntie. I still have a lot to learn from you ladies.”
At this moment, Qu Bei asked in surprise, “The three of you came back together?”
Gu Rou quickly said, “No, Gu Man sent a car back. It’s a luxury car. Looks like Gu Man’s cla.s.smate is rich.”
Gu Rou deliberately said ‘cla.s.smate’, but everyone present more or less knew that Gu Man did not get along well with any of her schoolmates in school. How could a cla.s.smate send her back?
Even Mrs. Zhou had heard about it from Gu Rou at the restaurant.
Sure enough, Qu Bei shouted, “Cla.s.smate? Gu Man made friends with a cla.s.smate?”
Zhou Ying said unhappily, “I’m Gu Man’s cla.s.smate.”
Qu Bei immediately smiled obsequiously and said, “Of course. It’s just that Gu Man went out tonight and someone sent her back. We also want to know who it is.”
“There’s no need for you to know,” Gu Man said calmly.
“Gu Man, we’re doing this for your own good. We haven’t asked you where you’ve been and you’re not eating at home. Do you feel liberated after the exam?” Gu Yuan interrogated her like a strict father. Then, he said to Mrs. Zhou, “This child has been spoiled by us. She doesn’t know the rules.”
“The child is in high school and has her own opinions. It’s quite good,” Mrs. Zhou said calmly. Then, she said to Gu Man, “We came here at the last minute because we wanted to greet you if you were at home. Now that we’ve met, we should take our leave.”
She could tell that Gu Man did not want to talk to them, so she said goodbye.
Zhou Ying looked at Gu Man and stuck out her tongue. “I begged my mother to come in. Gu Man, you won’t mind, right?”
“It’s alright,” Gu Man replied calmly again, making Zhou Ying feel a little discouraged.
“Gu Man, what are you saying? Mrs. Zhou and the others came to thank you sincerely. Won’t you disappoint them by being so cold?” Qu Bei was anxious, worried that Mrs. Zhou would leave just like that.
“Mrs. Gu, don’t blame Gu Man. We’re the ones who caused trouble.” Mrs. Zhou felt bad when she saw Gu Man being reprimanded by Qu Bei.
Qu Bei hurriedly said politely, “Mrs. Zhou, if you continue to be polite, you’ll be despising our Gu family. It’s not easy for you to come here, so of course Gu Man has to chat with you.”
Mrs. Zhou insisted, “I’ve really troubled you guys. The last time I came, I came without informing you. I feel bad.”
Mrs. Zhou then said to Gu Man, “Gu Man, Zhou Ying said that you did a good deed for everyone at school yesterday.”
