Chapter 628: Old Master Cui Is Indebted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huang Yue was exasperated. She had the determination to drag Gu Man along even if she had to die.
As soon as she said that, Cui Ya’s expression changed. Old Master Cui’s words seemed to still be ringing in her ears, making her jealous.
Ever since Gu Man came, Old Master Cui had been protecting her. He even said such things now. How could she not be jealous?
Just as Cui Ya was about to speak, Cui Xuan tugged at her sleeve and shook her head at her.
Coincidentally, Gu Man continued, “I really doubt your educational background. Don’t you understand when he said that he treats me as his granddaughter? I’m indebted to Old Master Cui. He treats me as his granddaughter. Is there a problem?”
Gu Man stood rooted to the ground and rolled her eyes, full of mockery. As for those who were waiting to watch a good show, they were not angry at all after being scolded for no reason. Instead, they felt ashamed.
They were too anxious to confirm the truth they knew, but they ignored the details. After Gu Man exposed them, they felt ashamed.
“Or are you saying that everything a dirty person looks at is dirty? You’re such a person yourself, so you think that I’m such a person?” Gu Man mocked everyone present without caring about the consequences, but her words were irrefutable.
Just as she was silent, Huang Yue suddenly said, “You’re indebted to Old Master Cui? What a joke. Someone at Old Master Cui’s level is not someone you can touch.”
Huang Yue definitely could not accept that Gu Man could clear her name. She did not put in so much effort to ruin her own reputation.
When everyone heard Huang Yue’s words, they belatedly reacted. That’s right. What could Gu Man do for Old Master Cui?
The shame that surged up immediately turned into anger at Gu Man. They reprimanded her one after another, as if they did not intend to give Gu Man any room to explain.
“Enough, our Cui family is indeed indebted to her!” Cui Ya suddenly raised her voice, and the content of her words was unexpected.
In the beginning, Cui Ya was the one who hated Gu Man, and now, it was also Cui Ya who spoke up for her.
At this moment, Cui Ya’s mood was a little complicated. She recalled the scene yesterday. She liked her brother, but she had hurt him. And under Gu Man’s treatment, her brother was indeed getting better and better. This was an undeniable fact. How could she ignore the truth for her own selfish desires?
This was actually a revelation from Cui Xuan’s words just now. It was definitely not a good thing to go against Gu Man now. If Old Master Cui heard about what happened today, there might be some punishment waiting for her, so she might as well speak up for Gu Man.
As the protagonist of the banquet, Dong Xia naturally had to speak up to maintain order in such a chaotic environment. However, from their conversation, she had more or less figured out the truth.
It was just that when each of them opened their mouths, the truth seemed confusing.
Dong Xia looked at Gu Man. Her aura as she stood there seemed to make it difficult for others to doubt her.
“My banquet is not a place for you to quarrel. 1 hope that this matter will not continue to be discussed. No matter what the truth is, let’s just leave it at that.” Dong Xia paused at this point and looked at Gu Man with a sigh. “Miss Gu, I admire your personality, but I didn’t invite you today. If there’s a chance next time, I hope you can attend my banquet.”
The origin of the matter was still Gu Man’s arrival. Although chasing her away made her seem cold and heartless, Gu Man’s departure was indeed the best solution to this matter.
“Miss Dong, you’ve misunderstood. Miss Gu is not here to attend the banquet. She’s here to inspect Ziwei Industry.” Hu Wei defended Gu Man. What he had to do now was to please Gu Man. As for the rest, it was not within his consideration. He just had to maintain his position as the Manager of Ziwei Industry.
That was why he was one step ahead of Gu Man to defend her so that he could leave a good impression..
