270 Plan
“Thank you,” Gu Man said to Xiang Yin as she got into the car.
Xiang Yin’s hand that was spinning the steering wheel paused. Then, his fingertips gently tapped on the steering wheel. “If you really want to thank me, why don’t you look for me the next time you encounter trouble?”
Xiang Yin paused. “Why did you enter the police station today?”
Gu Man knew that Chief Ou would definitely tell Xiang Yin what had happened, but she had indeed troubled him to run back and forth today, so Gu Man roughly told him what had happened.
“The Gu Family has been released? This police station is getting worse.”
“Although the Gu Family isn’t from high society, they’re still famous. It’s normal for things to be difficult for the police.”
Gu Man leaned against the back of the car seat and looked at the scenery outside.
It was already dark, and she was at the intersection of darkness. Half of her was lit and the other half was hidden in the shadows.
Her well-defined facial features and moist lips all tugged at Xiang Yin’s heartstrings.
He looked away in a sorry state and focused his attention ahead.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already reached home. Gu Man hurriedly bade farewell to Xiang Yin at the door, leaving him alone.
Looking at the completely closed door, Xiang Yin said the words ‘Gu Family’ softly. The dark light, the sudden cold temperature, and the smile on Xiang Yin’s lips.
“Gu Yuan, if you don’t settle this matter, I’ll divorce you!”
Qu Bei had just returned home from the police station when she grabbed Gu Yuan’s sleeve and made a fuss.
“I’m about to lose all my face. When have I ever been to the police station in my life? How can I raise my head in front of those madams?!”
“Son, Gu Man can’t be kept.”
Old Madam Gu suddenly spoke, her eyes filled with ruthlessness. She was already so old, but she still had to endure such humiliation.
“Mom, I know.”
Gu Yuan also had a hateful expression. He had already made up his mind to punish Gu Man. She could only blame herself for treating the Gu Family as paper tigers and crushing them at will. The Gu Family was not to be provoked casually. Gu Man should pay the price for her actions.
“Sister, you’ve really gone overboard this time. Why don’t I talk to Brother Zhang? We can’t let the Gu Family’s reputation be insulted.”
Gu Rou was the most fl.u.s.tered among them because she had lied about the million-dollar necklace.
Qu Bei and Gu Yuan did not know and really thought that Gu Man had stolen that necklace, but Zhang Yue’s necklace was not for her at all.
She looked out of the door nervously, feeling that things were getting out of control. She had to frame her successfully, or the Gu Family’s reputation would be completely ruined.
Not only did they chase their adopted daughter out of the house, but they also slandered her for stealing.
If news of this spread in the upper-cla.s.s society, the Gu Family would be too ashamed to stand in the upper-cla.s.s society. Even the Zhang Family would abandon them.
They had taken a fancy to her character and talent, so they let Zhang Yue date her. If this matter completely spread, she could already imagine the Zhang family’s face.
Gu Rou inserted her fingertips into her palms and spat out the name Gu Man fiercely. The hatred in her eyes was undisguised, and she wished she could skin Gu Man alive.
She had to frame her successfully. There was no room for negotiation. The Gu Family could not be tainted with this stain.
“Gu Man was clearly the one who stole something. I really don’t know how she has the cheek to be so self-righteous.”
Qu Bei cursed, but she still felt that the anger in her heart could not be dispelled. She cursed fiercely again.
With that, she looked at Gu Rou and did not notice the expression on her face at all. She even asked, “Rou’er, you have to find the evidence quickly. Don’t let Gu Man ruin the Gu Family’s reputation.”
“I got it.”
Gu Rou lowered her head, she did not have an excited expression. She still did not know how to mention this to Zhang Yue.
As Gu Zhi had accompanied Zhong Yao shopping, she came back a little late and missed a big show. Seeing a group of people gathered in the living room, she was a little confused.
“Brother, what are you all doing here?”
After Gu Zhi heard the whole story, she was even angrier. She had come to Han City to seek refuge with Gu Yuan. If the Gu Family fell, who would she rely on?
