253 Gu Rou’s Slander
It seemed like they had hooked up at that time. She did not expect Gu Man to be so capable. However, does she not find it disgusting? Old Master Cui was already so old, but she still thought…
Gu Rou speculated viciously about Gu Man. So what if she hooked up with Old Master Cui? Such a disgusting relationship would only be despised by the world!
She adjusted her expression and came to Gu Man gently. She wanted to hold her hand, but Gu Man shook her off.
However, this did not affect her at all, because her main goal was only to expose Gu Man’s true colors. Getting involved with Old Master Cui was secondary.
“Gu Man, you disappoint me too much. I thought that after you left home, you would rely on yourself. I didn’t expect that!”
Her disbelieving gaze kept moving between Gu Man and Old Master Cui.
When Gu Man, who had been expressionless, heard this, there was a rare anger on her face. “Gu Rou, watch your mouth.”
“Sister, I know you’re very short of money, but you just have to give in to our family. There’s no need to use such dirty methods, right?”
Seeing that Gu Man was angry, Gu Rou was even more certain of her guess. She looked at Old Master Cui shamefully. “Grandpa Cui, my sister is young and doesn’t know anything. She can’t compare to someone like you who has been in the business world for many years. Grandpa Cui, please be magnanimous and let my sister off.”
“This Miss Gu is really loyal. If I had such a younger sister, I wouldn’t care about her.”
“That’s right. She still did such a disgusting thing. I would never acknowledge her as my sister.”
Gu Rou’s words provoked the emotions of the surrounding people, magnifying everyone’s malice and them speculating the relationship between Gu Man and Old Master Cui.
“You look gentle and quiet, but why are you still distorting the truth?”
The anger on Old Master Cui’s face intensified. He was already so old. What dirty tricks had he not seen?
But no one had ever made him so angry.
What he cared about was not his reputation, but Gu Man’s innocence.
Apart from being angry, her heart ached. Gu Rou could say such things in front of so many people, let alone in the Gu Family.
Old Master Cui had long recognized Gu Rou and did not treat her well. “If you still want the Gu Family to safely continue remaining in the business circle, you should consider whether you should have said what you just said.”
A murderous aura a.s.saulted their faces, making them feel fear for no reason.
In front of Old Master Cui, Gu Rou was still too inexperienced. Just Old Master Cui’s gaze alone made her turn pale with fear and she wished she could escape immediately.
She suppressed the fear in her heart and looked up at Old Master Cui stubbornly, but there were a few tears in her eyes that were about to fall.
“Old Master Cui, I know you’re in a high position, but you shouldn’t threaten me. In the business world, everyone depends on their own abilities. Don’t think you can cover the sky with one hand. Besides, I just want to protect my sister. What’s wrong with me?”
With that, Gu Rou’s tears flowed down her face.
Old Master Cui looked at the calculation in her eyes and could not help but sneer.
Did she think that this would make him think highly of her? In the end, she was still a person who thought highly of herself but coveted the Cui Family’s wealth.
“Is that so? I hope you can be as stubborn when I lay my hands on the Gu Family.”
Gu Rou’s face was pale because of Old Master Cui’s words. She looked at Old Master Cui in disbelief, as if she did not understand why he was not moved by her strong appearance. Didn’t the older generation like such a junior the most?
“I didn’t expect Old Master Cui to be someone who takes advantage of his seniority!”
“Keep your voice down. The Cui Family is one of the four major families. You can’t afford to provoke them.”
The discussion was not as loud as before. Although some people were dissatisfied with Old Master Cui because of Gu Rou’s words, they did not dare to say anything because of the pressure.
The Cui Family’s strength could not be doubted.
Seeing that no one was speaking up for her, Gu Rou’s face turned even paler. Her gaze landed on Gu Man. “Sister, the Gu Family is also your family. Are you just going to watch as the Gu Family is suppressed by outsiders?”
