Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Impossible, how can 1 lose? I’ve specially learned it. You don’t know anything. How can you defeat me?” Huang Yue had already lost her mind and blurted out everything.
Old Master Cui was originally all smiles. When he heard this, his expression instantly darkened, and his eyes were surging. “Huang Yue! How can you say that about Gu Man?”
After Huang Yue knew that she had said something wrong, she quickly covered her mouth. Her face was pale as she shook her head to defend herself. “Grandpa Cui, that’s not what 1 meant. I was just too shocked.”
However, Old Master Cui’s eyes were filled with disappointment. “There’s always someone better. Even children know that. Don’t overestimate yourself.”
But Huang Yue was not listening at all. She was still immersed in the shock just now and looked a little dazed.
Old Master Cui could not bear to see this scene. After all, he had watched her grow up in front of his granddaughter. It was normal for a girl to be arrogant.
“Huang Yue, I remember that you weren’t like this in the past. What you’re doing now really disappoints me. I hope you can reflect on it.” For the first time, Old Master Cui’s face was cold in front of Huang Yue, and his tone was especially serious.
Huang Yue nodded weakly, but she had no intention of reflecting at all. She only blamed everything on Gu Man.
Her hateful gaze landed on Gu Man, but she happened to meet Gu Man’s eyes. Huang Yue hurriedly hid the expression on her face. “Sister, I didn’t expect you to be so capable. 1 misspoke just now. I’m sorry.”
Huang Yue apologized in time. Until now, the only thing she could do to appease Old Master Cui was to apologize.
Gu Man naturally caught Huang Yue’s gaze just now. She did not understand why this woman hated her so much after meeting her a few times.
However, she did not care about this. There were many people who hated her. As long as she did not hurt the people around her and did not take the initiative to go forward and ask for a beating, it would not be a loss for Gu Man to be glared at.
“It’s fine.” Gu Man really did not take it to heart.
However, in Huang Yue’s eyes, her arrogant att.i.tude was like she was pretending to be the winner. Huang Yue clenched her fists tightly. She was a little indignant but helpless. It was a fact that she had lost.
However, this would definitely not happen again in the future.
Even when they entered the banquet hall, Huang Yue did not say anything else. She also understood that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She would not take the initiative to touch Old Master Cui’s bad luck at this time.
Old Master Cui naturally noticed Huang Yue, who had been silent the entire time. His heart still ached a little. He called her over. “I’m not blaming you, but what you said just now was indeed a little unpleasant. Gu Man is my granddaughter, and 1 also treat you as my granddaughter, so I hope the two of you can coexist peacefully.”
Huang Yue nodded obediently, but she despised him in her heart.
He was already so old, yet she still found such a little girl. He spoke so pompously, but it was hard to say if she was his granddaughter or his lover.
Huang Yue’s obedience also dissipated a lot of the anger in Old Master Cui’s heart. When they sat down next, he deliberately arranged for the two of them to sit together, hoping that they could bury the hatchet in the future.
The auction had yet to begin, but many people had already entered. Most of them were unfamiliar faces.
However, Gu Man did not expect to meet the Gu family at such a small auction.
Fortunately, when they entered the auction, the attendant handed over a mask to cover her face.
Huang Yue was unwilling to wear it at first, but after Gu Man and Old Master Cui put it on, she reluctantly put it on too.
However, the Gu family, who had just entered, clearly had no intention of keeping a low profile. They directly entered the auction with their faces exposed. Among the group of masked people, they looked especially out of place.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Gu family could indeed be considered the biggest contributor to such an auction, if Old Master Cui was not around.
The moment the Gu family entered, Huang Yue noticed Gu Rou and Zhong Yao. Surprise flashed across her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She did not expect Zhong Yao and Gu Rou to be from the same family. From Zhong Yao’s surname, she was probably from the side family..
