But no matter what she said, it could not compare to Gu Man’s sneer.
The banquet hall fell silent for a moment before it immediately exploded again. They were all filled with frustration and had nowhere to vent it.
“Why is she so shameless? We’ve already scolded her like this, yet she’s still laughing?”
“Otherwise, how can she cling to two of the four major families at the same time?”
“This woman is disgusting.”
Seeing that the time had arrived, Gu Rou walked out. “Gu Man, let’s go back to the Gu family. We’re willing to ignore the past and continue to adopt you.”
She had to take all the reputation and benefits, Gu Rou thought to herself.
In the crowd, one person’s dejected posture was especially obvious. It was Zhang Yue, who had arrived later and was silently watching everything in the crowd.
Because of the Zhang family’s subsidiary company, he still did not know how to face Gu Man. Old Master Zhang’s words kept lingering in his heart, making him hesitate.
Therefore, Zhang Yue chose to hide in the crowd and watch the farce.
At first, he felt that Gu Man was shameless. Then, he felt that Gu Rou was aggressive. He knew that the recording had been exposed, but he did not know where the anger in his heart came from.
Looking at Gu Man, who was standing in the middle and accepting everyone’s insults, he actually felt sympathy for her.
Zhang Yue’s wavering heart and rising and falling emotions had long exposed a fact. He might still care a little about Gu Man, but it was negligible.
He could not even listen to those words, let alone Gu Man, who was a girl. Zhang Yue could not bear it and decided to make a move. He would treat it as… as compensation.
He sighed and walked out of the crowd.
Zhang Yue’s appearance made Gu Rou glare. At the same time, she was extremely fl.u.s.tered. She lowered her head and wondered if she had made a fool of herself just now.
When she saw Zhang Yue walking towards her, Gu Rou felt slightly relieved.
She smiled again, her eyes still filled with grievance. “Brother Zhang…”
Although she did not finish speaking, the meaning she wanted to express was clearly transmitted to Zhang Yue’s ears.
However, Zhang Yue only had Gu Man in his heart now and could not care about anything else. Naturally, he chose to ignore Gu Ron’s sweet words.
“Gu Man, what you have now is enough. Don’t ask for too much.” He stared at Gu Man seriously and said patiently.
Although Gu Rou was very unhappy about being ignored, she could not help but smile when she heard Zhang Yue’s words.
Although she did not know why Zhang Yue suddenly advised Gu Man, didn’t his words confirm Gu Man’s actions?
When Gu Man saw Zhang Yue, she frowned. “What right do you have to say these things to me?”
When Zhang Yue met that cold gaze, his heart skipped a beat. “Gu Man, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before. How did you become like this?”
“What has it got to do with you? Besides, are we close? Don’t pretend to know me very well. By the way, didn’t Old Master Zhang tell you to stay away from me when you see me?” Gu Man’s every word was filled with disgust.
Zhang Yue was furious. “Gu Man, do you have to make things so awkward? You’ve changed. You weren’t like this before.”
Gu Man looked impatient. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Gu Rou beat her to it. “Sister, don’t be stubborn. In your current state, only the Gu family is your best home. Come back and stop talking back to us.”
Gu Ron’s tone was as if she was facing an unreasonable child. Gu Man narrowed her eyes and looked at her, her heart filled with hostility. The corners of her lips suddenly curled up.
When this smile landed in Gu Ron’s eyes, alarm bells rang in her heart. A voice in her heart shouted for her to quickly stop Gu Man’s next actions.
But by the time Gu Rou reacted, it was too late.
“Gu Rou, don’t pretend to be doing this for my own good. Disgusting. In the Gu family, I’m afraid that the person who wants me to leave the most is you. As long as 1 exist, you’ll have to worry about losing your ident.i.ty as the daughter of the Gu family.” Gu Man spoke quickly, but her words were clear..
