49 The Gu Family Is Acting Again
The bus arrived and Gu Man got out. Jiang Yi looked at the area below Gu Man and muttered in his heart, This area is filled with wealthy people. It seems that Gu Man’s family background is not bad.
When Gu Man returned home, she realized that the entire Gu family seemed to be waiting for her.
Gu Man, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly felt like she had been covered in dog s.h.i.t. It was smelly and disgusting.
Gu Rou went up to her and looked very worried. “Sister, the school called today and said something. I was so worried. Tell me what exactly is going on?”
Gu Man thought to herself: Ha, she just wants to ridicule her for changing cla.s.ses.
Looking at Gu Rou’s worried expression, Gu Man really wanted to praise her. She really knew how to act. She pretended to be a concerned sister when she was actually gloating.
Looking at Gu Man’s teasing expression, Gu Rou hated her to the core, but in order to make the others dislike Gu Man even more, she could only continue acting.
When Gu Yuan saw how stubborn Gu Man was, he could not help but scold her angrily, “You idiot, what’s with your expression? Your sister cares so much about you, but you don’t take it seriously. You’re really an ingrate!”
“Dad, don’t say that about Gu Man. She didn’t mean to anger you. She’s not in a good mood now. She’ll tell us when she’s in a good mood.” Gu Rou quickly comforted Gu Yuan.
It was fine if Gu Rou did not say it, but once she did, Gu Yuan became even angrier. “She didn’t do it on purpose? I think she just wanted to embarra.s.s the Gu family on purpose and deliberately wanted to slap my face. She’s really stubborn. She can do anything. I’m so angry!”
Gu Rou chuckled in her heart. Gu Man was really stupid. Let’s see what she can do after offending the Gu family.
However, Gu Rou still pretended to be worried and continued to persuade Gu Yuan, “Dad, don’t be angry first. Listen to what Gu Man has to say.” Then, she turned to face Gu Man. “Sister, maybe there’s a misunderstanding. Tell me what happened so that we can go to the school to reason it out.”
Qu Bei sneered. “Rou’er, you’re so kind-hearted and patient with her. It’s a pity that she doesn’t know about your feelings.”
Gu Rou said, “She’s my sister, and I’m her elder sister. It’s only natural for an elder sister to care about her younger sister. Besides, I used to study at Han City First High School and can be considered her senior. I should care more about what happens in her school.”
Gu Rou wanted everyone to compare how useless Gu Man was now compared to her.
Sure enough, after Gu Yuan praised Gu Rou, he looked at Gu Man in dissatisfaction. “Look at your sister. I would be so grateful if you could even be one-third as sensible as her.”
Qu Bei snorted. “How can she compare to Rou’er? Rou’er was in Cla.s.s One of Han City First High School back then. If you ask her which cla.s.s she’s in now, I think she’ll be too embarra.s.sed to tell you.”
Gu Rou pretended to be anxious and said to Qu Bei, “Mom, why are you talking about what happened back then and making Gu Man sad?”
Gu Man really wanted to laugh out loud in her heart. Wasn’t this brought up by Gu Rou first? Now, she was able to reject everything. She was really capable.
“I believe that Sister must have her reasons, don’t you think so?” Gu Rou looked like a caring sister.
“There’s no reason. What you know is the truth. So, can I leave now?” Gu Man really did not want to hear their acting.
Gu Yuan stood up immediately and walked over. He shouted, “Gu Man, look at your att.i.tude. Your sister cares so much about you, but you’re ignoring her. You’re really biting the hand that feeds you.”
“Dad, don’t talk about Gu Man so loudly. She just can’t accept the truth. Let’s not force her.” Gu Rou pulled Gu Yuan’s hand that wanted to hit Gu Man.
“What’s the truth? The truth is that not only was Gu Man kicked out of Cla.s.s Five, but she was also a.s.signed to Cla.s.s Ten. Cla.s.s Ten! That’s the worst cla.s.s that everyone in Han City knows about. Where do you want me to put my face?” Gu Yuan wanted to slap Gu Man to vent his anger.
“That’s because the students of Cla.s.s Five went overboard. They shouldn’t have done that,” Gu Rou explained.
Gu Rou knew that it must be because of the beating of Li Guo that Gu Man was jointly kicked out of Cla.s.s Five. She wanted to remind Gu Yuan that Gu Man had changed cla.s.ses because she beat someone up.
Sure enough, Gu Yuan recalled this matter that had happened a few days ago and gritted his teeth even more. “How is it that the people of Cla.s.s Five are going overboard? It’s obvious that Gu Man is going overboard. She beat Li Guo until he can’t even return to school now. If Li Guo’s college entrance examination is affected and the Li family blames her, it will indirectly harm the Gu family’s business.”
Gu Yuan recalled that the Gu family’s business might be implicated because of Gu Man and became even angrier.
