278 Act First and Report Later
“I’ve been away from Han City for so long that I don’t know what the situation is like now. I can rest a.s.sured and take fewer detours with Manman helping me find a job. Aunt, don’t worry. I definitely won’t trouble Manman too much.”
Grandma seemed to have thought of something and sighed heavily. “Sigh, if we hadn’t met the Gu Family, our Huang Family wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“Aunt, don’t worry. People like them will definitely have bad karma!”
When she walked into the elevator, Gu Man had already sent a message in advance to avoid the awkwardness in the morning from appearing again. However, when the elevator door opened, she could not help but feel nervous.
She subconsciously stood behind Huang Jue and reached out to block his eyes.
“Sis, why are you blocking my eyes?”
“Nothing. It’s just that I saw some sand just now, I’m helping you block it.”
“Where’s the sand in the elevator?”
“Maybe someone accidentally spilled it.”
Gu Man looked at the empty living room and heaved a sigh of relief. She removed her hand.
When the two of them entered, Xiang Yin happened to push open the door and walk out. He was dressed neatly and looked in their direction.
“Let’s go.”
“Let me get something.”
Xiang Yin turned around and returned to his room. Huang Jue looked up at Gu Man in confusion. “Sister, didn’t we agree to study? Why are we still going out?”
“Since we’re learning, we definitely have to find a good place to learn.”
Gu Man realized that her ability to lie without thinking was getting better and better, but if she did not say this, Huang Jue would definitely not come with her.
She finally realized that when dealing with the Huang Family, she had to act first and report later.
The car slowly drove on the road. Huang Jue looked at the increasingly familiar scene around him and asked, “Sister, didn’t you say that you were going to study? Why did you bring me to the mall?”
If he still did not understand why Gu Man brought him out now, he wasted his time learning.
“There’s no hurry to study. Let’s buy something first.”
Since he had already come this far, Huang Jue had no choice but to obey. Fortunately, they were not buying clothes for him this time, and the guilt in his heart decreased a lot.
Looking at the clothes in his hand, Huang Jue was secretly smug. Let’s see what his father will say now.
When Gu Man arrived at the phone shop, Huang Jue did not notice anything amiss. It was only when Gu Man looked at the latest phone that he asked curiously, “Sister, are you preparing to buy a new phone?”
“I’m buying it for you.”
Huang Jue was stunned. In this short period of time, Gu Man had already paid. Moreover, she had bought not just one phone, but three.
His guess was confirmed. He swallowed his saliva. “Sister, are these three phones for me, Dad, and Grandmother?”
“You guessed right. Alright, you can go back and study.”
“No, Sister, you can’t bring this back. If you bring it back, my father will definitely scold me to death. This thing is too expensive. Forget about the clothes. How can I let you buy phones for us?”
Gu Man recalled that the three of them always used laggy old phones and stuffed the bag into Huang Jue’s hand.
Huang Jue subconsciously took it, but he immediately reacted. He had taken a hot potato, but he could not throw it away. He looked anxious and looked at Xiang Yin for help.
“Brother Xiang, persuade my sister. This is not a small sum of money. She still has to save the money to go to university.”
“Take it. This is also your sister’s kind intentions.”
Not to mention how much Gu Man had earned from the ghost market, even if Gu Man ran out of money, she still had him. Therefore, Xiang Yin really did not care about this small sum of money.
Huang Jue was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. This was a matter related to his life.
In the end, he did not send the things back. He sat in the car nervously. He was waiting for Huang Jue’s interrogation after he brought it back.
Her phone rang in the car. Gu Man looked down and realized that it was a call from Li Hua. She guessed that it might be related to the Gu Family. Her fingertips slid across and she heard Li Hua’s voice on the other side. “Miss Gu Man, do you have time now?”
