Chapter 6: Gossipy Netizens Are Here Again
Xiang Yin and Bai Yun appeared at the Gu family’s door because of that video.
Although the video was not very clear, it was enough for Xiang Yin to tell at a glance that the woman in the video was the one he had met at the entrance of the hotel.
Now, he was pulled over by Bai Yun early in the morning. 1
When he heard Gu Man say that Zhang Yue was done in eight minutes, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
Bai Yun laughed out loud.
But the protagonist, Zhang Yue, was furious.
What right did Gu Man have to say that she no longer liked him? 4
This was something he had always hoped for. He hoped that she would stop pestering him, but why did she despise him? His pride was trampled by her. 1
How ridiculous!
Also, finished in eight minutes? He was really furious.
Zhang Yue wanted to curse, but because of his public image, he could only warn her with a straight face, “Gu Man, watch your words!”
“That’s right. Of course I’m not as glib-tongued as my sister. I can’t act so well. Isn’t that what you like?”
Gu Rou looked at Gu Man, who still affirmed that she was lying. She was already cursing fiercely in her heart.
When did Gu Man become so difficult to deal with?
Seeing that Gu Rou still looked aggrieved, Zhang Yue’s desire to protect her exploded. “I believe in Gu Rou. She has always been so kind and gentle. She won’t lie.” 1
Gu Rou was considered a famous lady in Han City. She was an obedient girl in the eyes of many people, and she was the moonlight of many people.
As soon as someone came to help, everyone automatically ignored the truth of the video. 1
However, this could only mean that Gu Man’s past image was indeed not that popular.
How knowledgeable and how well could the image of an adopted daughter from the countryside be?
The onlookers naturally thought that Gu Rou, the daughter of the Gu family, had no reason to lie for the sake of an adopted daughter. 1
Looking at Gu Man’s still indifferent att.i.tude, she was indeed useless.
Gu Man looked at these gossipy people who looked like they couldn’t stand her and smiled. “You fooled some people with just a few words. There really are fools that will believe you!”
This made things difficult for everyone.
If they believed in the video, they would feel uncomfortable. If they believed in Gu Rou, then wouldn’t they be a fool?
The audience was about to cry. It was not easy to join in the commotion!
Gu Rou looked at this ending as if it was out of her control. She quickly walked up to Gu Man with an apologetic expression.
“Gu Man, I’m sorry. I didn’t have a good memory and wronged you. On account of my health, can you forgive me?” 1
Gu Man sneered in her heart. She was indeed a white lotus. [1. White lotus refers to a female that pretends to be kind and benevolent on the surface]
If I still refused to let go, wouldn’t it seem like I don’t even have the empathy to care for a sick patient? Then wouldn’t my image be even worse?
Just as Gu Man was about to mock her back with the thought “what’s the point of having an image? Why do I have to make myself suffer?” Gu Yuan came out and put on a hypocritical look.
“Alright, it’s all a misunderstanding. Since we’ve cleared it up, this matter ends here. I apologize to everyone for the commotion caused by the Gu family this time. I’ll educate them when we get back.” 1
The group of onlookers couldn’t wait to leave. They still had a deep impression of Gu Man’s words just now. This was the first time someone had called them a fool to their faces.
Bai Yun looked at Xiang Yin, who was about to leave, and said, “Without everyone watching, the Gu family’s true colors will be revealed. There’s still a big show to come.”
Xiang Yin was not someone who liked to watch the commotion, but this concerned Gu Man, or rather, the painting in his study. 2
Therefore he would reluctantly take a look.
Sure enough, after everyone dispersed, Gu Yuan immediately put away the elegant side to him and looked straight at Gu Man.
“You ingrate. The Gu family provides you with food and shelter, but you want to slander the Gu family. Your sister has protected you many times and cared for you, but you’re so stubborn!” 3
Faced with Gu Yuan’s roar, Gu Man felt a sour feeling in her heart.
It should be the Host’s emotions. She could feel that the Host looked forward to her father’s love. This was the person closest to her in this world, but she was misunderstood and scolded by him.
How could her heart not hurt?
However, Gu Man, who had transmigrated, did not feel much about such insults. She only felt indignant for the original owner. 2
