254 Warning Gu Rou
She was no longer as calm as she had pretended to be. Instead, she was anxious and even seemed to be morally kidnapped. However, Gu Man had no morals.
“I’ve long left the Gu Family, not to mention that I brought this upon myself.”
Old Master Cui turned to look at Uncle Li and said without doubt, “You know what to do, right?”
“Master, I understand.”
Their conversation was as if no one was around, as if they did not care about Gu Rou, who was still standing.
Gu Rou’s mouth trembled. Her legs were no longer able to support her. If the Cui Family attacked the Gu Family, the Gu Family was destined to die.
Why? Why didn’t things go according to her imagination? She bit her lower lip indignantly and blamed everything on Gu Man.
If not for her, the Gu Family would not have suffered an undeserved calamity. Gu Rou could not bear the thought of her former glory and wealth leaving her and she might even lose Zhang Yue.
She almost couldn’t care less about her image. She went forward and grabbed Gu Man, threatening her fiercely, “Gu Man, do you really think Old Master Cui will care about you? Only the Gu Family is your only backing. Without the Gu Family, you’re nothing!”
Gu Man waved Gu Rou away with an arrogant smile. “Without the Gu Family, aren’t I still alive and well? Only you treat the Gu Family as a treasure.”
Gu Rou shook her head in disbelief. Gu Man was definitely just talking about it. She would definitely not leave her in the lurch.
“Think about Zhang Yue. If he finds out that you did such a thing, will he still be nice to you?”
Gu Man felt ridiculous. At this point, Gu Rou still thought that she liked Zhang Yue. Just because she treated him like a treasure, it doesn’t mean that others will treat him like a treasure.
“Firstly, I don’t like Zhang Yue. Secondly, I have nothing to do with the Gu Family and the Zhang Family anymore. What does your life have to do with me?”
Gu Rou trembled in anger, completely forgetting to protect her image. She raised her hand and was about to slap Gu Man’s face when she was stopped by a slender hand.
Gu Man slapped her back mercilessly. Gu Rou covered her swollen cheek and looked at Gu Man in disbelief.
The resentment in her heart deepened. She raised her hand and wanted to retaliate, but Gu Man also slapped her other cheek.
“You really won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. Go back now and tell the Gu Family not to bother me in the future. They might still have a way out.”
Gu Rou pursed her lips and was about to say something sarcastic, but because Old Master Cui was here, she could only glare at Gu Man and leave in a sorry state with her face covered.
After settling Gu Rou, only Sister w.a.n.g and the manager were left.
The two of them seemed to know that their outcome would not be good. Their faces were pale as they walked over shakily to beg.
“I was blind to not recognize you. Miss Gu, please let me off this time.”
The manager almost kowtowed to Gu Man. His face was ashen as he looked at Gu Man pleadingly. This was his only chance.
Sister w.a.n.g was even more desperate than the manager. She had a grudge against Gu Man to begin with, but she still forced her to pay. She had already seen what would happen to her.
Someone like Gu Man would definitely not let her off easily.
Although Sister w.a.n.g was very reluctant to part with the work here, she knew now that she had to cut off her tail and escape.
Otherwise, if Old Master Cui was really angry, it would not be just about not having a job.
“Miss Gu, I don’t beg for your forgiveness. I’ll take initiative to quit this job. When I get home, I’ll definitely reflect on myself. I have parents and children at home. I hope Miss Gu can let me off.”
The surrounding people sighed. The tables had turned too quickly. That Gu Man, who did not look outstanding, actually had a deep relationship with Old Master Cui.
Although everyone had the most malicious guesses about the relationship between Gu Man and Old Master Cui because of Gu Rou’s words, they could not help but be surprised.
Gu Man looked at Sister w.a.n.g, who was already pale and in a daze, and mocked, “When you casually belittled others and relied on your power to sell things to them, did you think of letting them off?”
