Although the person on the other end of the line did not understand why Gu Yuan was so angry, he still agreed.
After hanging up, Gu Yuan threw his phone off the bed. “Gu Man, just you wait.”
Gu Man still did not know about the Gu family’s plan. She was in a wonderful mood because the news of the Gu family’s stock price fluctuating had successfully spread. Moreover, the news that had been hidden previously had been dug up again.
The more the Gu family wanted to cover it up, the more she wanted to expose this wound in front of everyone and let them see what kind of person the Gu family was.
The matter spread very quickly. Almost in the morning, the school started to discuss this matter.
The main reason why the incident was so popular was because of Gu Rou. Because of this incident, Gu Ron’s reputation plummeted, and even Zhong Yao was implicated.
When Gu Man was eating lunch, Zhong Yao ran over in a panic and grabbed Gu Man’s arm. As she grabbed it too suddenly, the food between her chopsticks fell and landed on Gu Man’s clothes, leaving a mark.
“Cousin, please let us go.” Zhong Yao’s eyes were red as she looked at Gu Man pleadingly.
Gu Man frowned tightly. She looked at the stain on her body and was especially dissatisfied.
Zhong Yao did not feel Gu Man’s anger at all. She was still holding her arm tightly and exerting strength unconsciously. At the same time, her eyes were still looking around in fear.
Tears instantly rolled down her face and dripped onto the ground. She was so pitiful. She blinked and bent her knees, looking like she was going to kneel down for Gu Man.
Zhong Yao’s sobbing voice sounded in Gu Man’s ear. “Cousin, 1 beg you to let the Gu family off. Uncle has raised you for so many years. You can’t repay kindness with ingrat.i.tude and be an ingrate. Do you know what kind of treatment I received in school today? Why are they looking at me like that? It’s not my fault.”
Zhong Yao complained word by word as tears streamed down her face. Her eyes were filled with fear and hatred.
However, there were no wounds on her exposed skin and she was not bullied.
Zhong Yao continued as if she could not sense the gazes around her at all, “Cousin, not only are they scolding me, but they’re also looking at me with disdain. What’s wrong with me? 1 just want to go to school. Please be merciful and don’t be so calculative, okay? We’re all family.”
When Gu Man heard her talk about them being family, she suddenly laughed out loud. She shook off Zhong Yao’s hand that was holding her tightly and watched as she fell to the ground in a sorry state. She stood up and patted the dirt on her body.
Her voice was extremely cold as she looked at Zhong Yao on the ground. “If I let you guys off, who let me off back then?”
Zhong Yao seemed to have thought of something. Her pupils kept flickering, but she quickly reacted and grabbed Gu Man’s leg with her hands and feet.
She begged, “But that has nothing to do with me, right?”
“When there’s an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent.” Gu Man’s eyes were cold, it was as if when one looked at them, they would shiver uncontrollably.
Zhong Yao subconsciously trembled. This also gave Gu Man a chance to leave. She walked out of the canteen. Xiao Xiao was a step behind her and looked at Zhong Yao on the ground.
After a pause, she squatted down and threw a piece of paper in front of her. However, the paper happened to land on the food on the ground.
Xiao Xiao looked at the piece of paper with an expressionless face. She held her chin and stared at Zhong Yao in front of her. “If you’ve been bullied on campus, you can look for the school and not Gu Man. Manman didn’t do anything wrong. And as far as 1 know, you haven’t been bullied yet, right?”
Zhong Yao trembled and lowered her head in fear like a quail.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled brightly. “1 didn’t say anything. Why are you so afraid? Alright, hurry up and tidy yourself up. You’re so dirty.”
Gu Man did not hear the footsteps behind her. She turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao, who was squatting there. She called out, “Let’s go..”
