68 Gift Occupied
Mrs. Zhou saw that although Gu Man was about the same age as her daughter, she did not have the reservedness of a little girl. Her expression was calm and composed, and she could not help but nod.
At that time, she did not believe it when Captain w.a.n.g said that a high school girl had saved her daughter. Now that she saw Gu Man, she believed it.
Gu Man had a calmness that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. She also had an indescribable mysterious aura that gave people an unconscious sense of trust.
Mrs. Zhou grabbed Gu Man’s hand tightly and said with a trembling voice, “Thank you. If anything happens to my daughter, I won’t be able to live either. I only have one daughter…” As she spoke, she was about to cry, as if she was still afraid.
Captain w.a.n.g quickly helped Mrs. Zhou up and said jokingly, “Mrs. Zhou, look at you crying. Gu Man doesn’t know what to do.”
Mrs. Zhou quickly wiped her tears and said with a smile, “Child, I’m sorry. I was too worked up and embarra.s.sed you.”
Gu Man only shook her head at her. She did not want to say anything, nor did she know what to say to comfort her.
Gu Yuan was a little unhappy that he was ignored. He did not understand what was going on, so he asked Captain w.a.n.g directly, “What’s going on?”
Gu Yuan’s words broke the touching atmosphere.
Gu Man was actually grateful to Gu Yuan for interrupting.
She was really not good at such pleasantries. She had not experienced it in her previous life, nor had the original owner of this life.
Captain w.a.n.g briefly told Gu Yuan about the kidnapping incident at the school gate. When he talked about Gu Man’s shoulder throw, his face was full of excitement.
After Gu Yuan heard this, he looked at Gu Man suspiciously. He could not match Gu Man with the heroic figure that Captain w.a.n.g mentioned.
Qu Bei also had a look of disbelief. How could Gu Man beat up a repeat offender?
Gu Man probably didn’t even dare to catch a chicken, right?
If not for Captain w.a.n.g’s aura and his police uniform, they would even suspect that these people in front of them were extras hired by Gu Man.
Just as the two of them were feeling suspicious, Mrs. Zhou handed the gift she had prepared in advance to Gu Man. “Thank you for saving my daughter. After Zhou Ying recovers, I’ll bring her here to thank you.”
Actually, she had also prepared a set for the Gu family, but when she saw their reaction just now, she immediately stopped thinking about giving them gifts.
She was here to thank her daughter’s savior, not to thank those who were hostile to her benefactor.
Gu Man did not decline. She took it with both hands and thanked her. At the same time, she rejected the other party’s request to bring her daughter to thank her.
To Gu Man, this was enough.
Seeing that Gu Man was not being polite, Mrs. Zhou smiled. “Then we’ll go back first. We won’t disturb you anymore.”
After the two of them left, as soon as the door closed, Gu Yuan reprimanded, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Would you believe me if I said that?” Gu Man asked angrily.
“Whether I believe it or not is one thing, whether you say it or not is another.” Gu Yuan still hated her for embarra.s.sing him in front of Captain w.a.n.g just now.
Gu Man wanted to laugh when she heard that. Did he think that she was still as easy-going as before?
“I don’t think there’s a need to say it, so I won’t.” Gu Man realized that she had to live a better life in the Gu family. She could only be more shameless and cold-hearted than them to not be hurt.
After Gu Man finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs.
Gu Yuan’s words of reprimand were stuck in his throat.
At this moment, a servant walked in with an extremely exquisite gift box in her hand. She went forward and asked Gu Yuan, “Sir, this thing…”
Gu Yuan looked over and saw that it was the gift that Mrs. Zhou had left for Gu Man.
“Leave it here.” Gu Yuan pointed at the table in front of him.
As soon as the servant put down the gift box, Gu Rou quickly picked it up and praised, “It’s so exquisite. I wonder what treasure it is?”
Gu Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, “If you want to see it, just open it. Gu Man’s things belong to the Gu family. What’s there to not see?”
Gu Rou saw the English word “MK” printed on the outside of the gift box. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. Could it be the MK bag she had been thinking about?
But she still said, “This isn’t good. How can I open my sister’s things?”
