Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Man flicked her wrist and looked at Gu Rou’s swollen right cheek. She nodded in satisfaction. Then, her gaze shifted to her left cheek and her eyes narrowed slightly. Her meaning was especially obvious.
Gu Rou was so frightened that she quickly covered her left cheek with her hand. She widened her eyes and looked at Gu Man in disbelief. “Do you know what you were doing just now? You actually dared to hit me.”
The more Gu Rou thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up and stretched out her hand to Gu Man. However, before she could even touch Gu Man’s cheek, she was held tightly by Gu Man’s hand and could not move anymore.
Gu Man approached Gu Rou step by step and was forced to retreat step by step. She hit the wall in a sorry state, and her expression twisted because of the pain.
“Watch your mouth before you speak. Otherwise, I don’t mind using the toilet water to wash it for you.” As she spoke, Gu Man even glanced in the direction of the toilet. Her expression left no doubt that she would do such a thing the next second.
Gu Rou pursed her lips in fear. The smugness on her face finally dissipated a lot. She was trembling like a quail. “Gu Man, 1 came here to tell you not to provoke people you shouldn’t. Don’t snatch things you shouldn’t. Also, the Gu family wants you to go back.”
“Don’t you know how to talk nicely?” Gu Man shook off Gu Rou’s hand and took out a tissue from the side. As if she had touched something dirty, she wiped her fingertips clean bit by bit and threw the tissue at Gu Rou’s face.
Gu Rou’s face was filled with humiliation, but she was afraid that what happened just now would happen again, so she could only endure it. She had been too smug recently and had forgotten what kind of person Gu Man was. However, she would not be smug for long.
“Everyone in the family wants you to go back very much. Moreover, you’ve already caused enough trouble during this period of time. No matter what, you still have the Gu family’s bloodline. You should understand the principle of prosperity and convenience together.” The expression on Gu Rou’s face changed quickly and was a little sincere. She did not seem to be teasing her on purpose.
However, the more Gu Man felt that she was guilty, the more she rejected her without thinking.
The next second, Gu Rou panicked. She reached out and grabbed Gu Man’s wrist. “You seem to have everything now, but actually, those things will always leave you. But it’s a fact that you have the Gu family’s bloodline. 1 know we were in the wrong a few years ago, but we also sincerely want to change.” However, the more Gu Rou was like this, the more Gu Man would not agree. No matter how much effort she put in, Gu Man did not reply.
Gradually, resentment appeared on Gu Rou’s face.
In the beginning, she did not agree with Gu Man’s return the most. However, after Qu Bei chatted with her that night, she realized that the Gu family wanted Gu Man to come back because they planned to marry her to an old man in his seventies or eighties to obtain benefits for the Gu family.
Gu Rou was naturally glad to see it. She even wanted to see Gu Man’s expression when she married a man four rounds older than her. It would definitely be funny.
Moreover, she had already provoked Huang Yue. It was only a matter of time before her reputation was ruined. They had even found a good marriage for her. Gu Man should be grateful.
“You even provoked Huang Yue of the Huang Family now. Do you really think that her identity is so simple that the Xiang Family will be willing to settle it for you? You can tell from the attitude of the people around you towards her. Before you, she was everyone’s favorite. You might just be a substitute.” A trace of mockery flashed across Gu Rou’s eyes, but it was not especially obvious.
“Is that so?” Gu Man asked.
Just as Gu Rou thought that there was a turn of events, Gu Man continued, “So, are you afraid that the Huang Family will blame the Gu Family? First, it’s public opinion, and now you want me to return to the Gu Family. I’m afraid there’s a fire pit waiting for me.”
Gu Rou did not expect their thoughts to be exposed. She simply gave up and stopped acting. “That’s right, but other than the Gu family, who else will help you now? No matter how hard you suppress the trending topic, the discussion below is still lively. You have no choice, Gu Man..”
