250 Call the Police
“Wait till the police get here.”
Before Gu Rou could speak, Gu Man interrupted her.
Gu Rou, who had been strategizing just now, immediately panicked. She gritted her teeth.
So what if she called the police? Anyway, the police did not know about the Gu Family’s things. Wasn’t it up to her?
Gu Rou’s panic was immediately appeased and she became more confident. She sat at the side and shook her head, acting like a good sister.
“Sister, since you insist on calling the police, there’s nothing I can do.”
Her understanding look was a stark contrast to Gu Man.
Even if it was Gu Man who wanted to call the police just now, not many people around her believed her.
“This young lady really has the cheek to call the police. Isn’t she walking into a trap?”
“I think the young lady is quite scheming. She thinks that her sister can do whatever she wants because she’s on her side.”
“That’s right, Miss Gu. Even if she’s your biological sister, you can’t let her off. Thieves have to be punished before they realize their mistake.”
“Thank you for your concern, but she’s still my sister.”
Gu Rou smiled and looked around, deliberately saying something that made one’s imagination run wild. In an instant, everyone’s good impression of her increased greatly, and they looked at Gu Man even more angrily.
Gu Man sat at the side indifferently and even wanted to chat with Huang Jue.
“Sister, that woman definitely said that on purpose. Is she your actual sister?”
As soon as Gu Man nodded, Huang Jue was furious.
“No wonder Sister wanted to move out. There’s such a troublesome person at home. I’ll move out too.”
Because he was angry, he did not deliberately suppress his voice when he spoke. Gu Rou happened to hear him.
Gu Rou looked at the familiar-looking child and suddenly remembered that she had seen him at the Guzheng compet.i.tion.
She narrowed her eyes and remembered that this child was a relative of Gu Man’s grandmother. Her expression immediately turned unfriendly, but because there were outsiders around, she had to pretend to be magnanimous.
“Little kid, you don’t know anything. I don’t blame you.”
“It’s fine if that young lady does evil deeds herself, but she still wants to lead the child astray. Miss Gu is so kind. She actually led the child to speak ill of Miss Gu.”
“Sister didn’t guide me. She’s a bad woman to begin with!”
Huang Jue stood up angrily, wanting to defend Gu Man, but seeing that no one was listening to him, they were immersed in what they thought was the truth and kept discussing.
“Huang Jue, when the police come, everything will be clear,” Gu Man said.
He snorted and sat beside Gu Man, suppressing the anger in his heart.
“Sister, you still have a chance to go back on your word.”
Gu Rou said this ambiguously. Gu Man did not look at her, making Gu Rou look like a clown.
“What’s going on? There are so many people surrounding the shop. Are we still doing business?”
A strong voice came from outside the crowd. The surrounding crowd subconsciously parted to make a path. A man wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over while panting.
“Manager, why are you here?”
Sister w.a.n.g was the first to go over. She ran over eagerly and saw the exhausted manager. She even consciously brought a cup of tea over.
The manager took the tea and took a sip. When he calmed down, he hurriedly asked, “Is Miss Gu here?”
Sister w.a.n.g was a little puzzled. How did the manager know that Gu Rou was here? But even if Gu Rou had some status, the manager shouldn’t have come over personally, right? Could it be that the manager knew about what happened here?
Sis w.a.n.g was terrified. She could not avoid a reprimand.
She was already dissatisfied with Gu Man. Now, Sister w.a.n.g was even angrier. She pointed in Gu Man’s direction and complained to the manager.
“Manager, it’s not my fault. It’s all that woman’s fault. She insisted on causing trouble and even said that she wanted to call the police to arrest Miss Gu!”
“What? Ridiculous, who is it? They actually dare to arrest Miss Gu!”
That was someone under Old Master Cui’s protection. If Old Master Cui blamed him, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
