142 Planning to Deal Again
Gu Man started to feel sleepy in class again. She had no choice but to pinch her thigh to stay awake.
Xiao Xiao looked at Gu Man, who could barely open her eyes, and asked suspiciously, “You didn’t sleep last night? Where did you go?”
She even suspected that she had been kidnapped by Jiang Yi to the ghost market.
“I couldn’t sleep last night,” Gu Man lied through her teeth.
“I thought you really went to the ghost market last night out of curiosity?”
Gu Man pretended to be asleep and did not answer.
However, Jiang Yi was not sleepy. He was still immersed in the gossip from last night. He specially went to search for news and gossip about the Gu and Zhang families. In the end, he saw the gossip about Gu Man snatching her sister’s boyfriend more than half a month ago. It turned out that everyone thought that Gu Man was shameless, but the truth was that the older sister snatched her younger sister’s fiancé.
But Gu Man had never said anything about this in public.
Jiang Yi looked at Gu Man, who was dozing off secretly. He knew that Gu Man did not want to argue because she did not want to spend any time and effort on unrelated people.
What a special person.
At this moment, Gu Rou received a call from Zhang Yue.
Looking at Zhang Yue’s caller ID, Gu Rou was extremely excited. She had been waiting for his call for a day and night.
As soon as the call connected, she heard Zhang Yue ask, “Did Gu Man come back last night?”
Gu Rou immediately felt like she had eaten a mouthful of fly feces. She did not understand why Zhang Yue’s first question was to ask about Gu Man.
Her face was already as deep as water, but her voice was filled with worry. “Brother Yue, did something happen to Gu Man? She ran away from home yesterday.”
“Ran away from home? What do you mean?” Zhang Yue’s voice suddenly raised in surprise and worry.
When Gu Rou heard the concern in Zhang Yue’s voice, she became even more resentful. However, her voice was still filled with worry. She explained, “After you guys left that night, my grandmother scolded her a little and reprimanded her for her attitude towards Mrs. Zhou and Auntie. She was furious. The next morning, she pulled out a suitcase and went out. She even said that she wouldn’t even return home if she was a beggar and didn’t answer any of our calls. I don’t even know what to do.”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, “Did she say where she went?”
“No, she doesn’t have any friends in Han City. I’m so worried about her.”
Zhang Yue thought of the boy last night. Could she have spent the night at that person’s house?
He was furious and scolded in a low voice, “This is outrageous.”
Seeing that Zhang Yue was angry, Gu Rou was secretly delighted, but she deliberately explained for Gu Man, “Gu Man is just a little impatient. Perhaps she’s under too much pressure from the exam. Let’s go to school today and wait for Gu Man to finish school, okay?”
Zhan Yue said without hesitation, “Okay.”
Gu Rou continued, “About that bag that night, Brother Yue, I…”
“Let’s talk when we meet.” Before Gu Rou could finish speaking, Zhang Yue interrupted her. “I’m hanging up.”
Before Gu Rou could say goodbye, she heard a busy tone on the other end of the line.
Gu Rou was sad and angry. She threw her phone on the bed angrily. She felt that Zhang Yue’s thoughts had changed, and all of this was related to Gu Man.
When Gu Man finished school, she saw that the school gate was livelier than usual.
Gu Man heard a classmate cheer.
“Wow, is that the Guzheng Princess? She looks even better than in the video.”
“She’s so elegant. Are all Guzheng players so elegant? I want my mother to help me sign up to learn the Guzheng.”
Gu Man looked through the crowd and saw a woman in a white dress surrounded by everyone.
Gu Rou?
Gu Rou’s long hair draped over her shoulders today. She had a no-makeup makeup look on her face and was wearing a pure white dress. She looked pure and fairy-like. Moreover, the smile on her face was extremely sweet and her voice was gentle. No wonder Gu Rou had so many fans in Han City.
However, Gu Man’s face was filled with disdain. She wanted to turn around and walk away.
Unexpectedly, Gu Rou greeted her, “Gu Man, wait for me.”
The fans all looked at Gu Man and made way for Gu Rou.
“Gu Rou, I’ll pick you up from school. Let’s go home,” Gu Rou said gently.
All the fans were envious.
“I really want such a gentle and beautiful sister to pick me up from school.”
However, Gu Man said coldly, “No need.”
Gu Rou wanted to pull Gu Man’s hand, but Gu Man dodged her. Gu Rou was still not angry. “Gu Man, enough. If you’re not angry anymore, come back with me.”
“Gu Rou, do you not understand human language or what?” Gu Man was impatient with Gu Rou’s show.
