Chapter 103



103 The Bigshot Made An Enemy Again

“Gu Man, you really have a heart of stone.” The gentleness on Gu Rou’s face was about to disappear, and a faint hint of hostility appeared on her face.

“I’ve told Mrs. Zhou not to specially come to thank me anymore. If you guys have any bad ideas this time, you can settle the consequences yourself.”

Gu Man suspected that it wasn’t Mrs. Zhou who took the initiative to treat them to a meal. After all, she had already made it clear at that time and Mrs. Zhou understood.

When Gu Rou went downstairs, Gu Yuan knew from her expression that she had failed.

“I raised her for nothing. This ingrate.” Gu Yuan looked at Gu Man’s room upstairs and scolded her fiercely.

“Dad, should we cancel the dinner we booked tonight?” Gu Rou asked.

“No, let’s go eat! Why let that heartless person ruin our mood for dinner?!”

Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Gu Rou asked again, “Can I call Brother Zhang Yue over?”

“Why not? I haven’t seen him in a long time.” Gu Yuan’s mood improved when he heard Zhang Yue.

He sighed regretfully. “Why isn’t the Zhang family on the school board of Han City First High?”

When Gu Rou heard this, she said unhappily, “No matter what, our Gu family can’t compare to the Zhang family.”

Seeing that Gu Rou was unhappy, Gu Yuan quickly said, “It’s not that the Zhang family is bad. It’s just that they’re still far inferior to the four major families. Our daughter deserves the best man.”

Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Bai Yun and the mysterious man who could order Bai Yun around flashed across Gu Rou’s mind.

She only hated that she had nothing to do with them.

Of course, Gu Rou was only thinking about it in her mind. As for now, the best person she could come into contact with was Zhang Yue. She had to hold on to him tightly.

She pretended to be shy and said, “Brother Zhang Yue is the best man in my heart.”

“Don’t worry, as long as you like him,” Gu Yuan comforted her.

At a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Gu family, except for Gu Man, was all present.

“We could have invited an important guest for this meal, but it turned into a family gathering. What a waste,” Qu Bei complained.

“That Gu Man is an ingrate.” Old Madam Gu was furious when she thought of Gu Man.

“If it were in our village, a rebellious little girl like her would not be given food or sleep. She would have been chased out of the village long ago. You guys are still too kind. She can do whatever she wants to you.”

Ever since Gu Man refused to help Zhong Yao this time, she knew that she could not count on Gu Man. She also completely hated Gu Man.

Moreover, after seeing that Gu Man was not favored in the Gu family, she belittled her even more unscrupulously.

“Aunt, you can say that in our house. You can’t be so careless with outsiders around,” Gu Rou reminded her. Zhang Yue would come later. She was a little worried that this aunt from the countryside didn’t know how to speak and Zhang Yue would look down on her.

“Gu Rou, don’t worry. I know what to say on any occasion.”

Gu Rou smiled when she heard her words, but she was still worried. She looked at Gu Zhi’s weathered face and frumpy clothes and despised her.

However, she did not reveal anything on her face. “That’s good. I just don’t think disgraceful things about our family should be spread.”

After a while, Zhang Yue rushed over. Gu Rou pretended to be angry and said, “You said that you would be on time. You’re already more than ten minutes late.”

Zhang Yue apologized, “I was wrong. I only found out that my mother was here for dinner as well when I left, so I drove her over.”

“Auntie is here too?” Gu Rou pretended to be surprised.

Actually, she was not very willing to see Zhang Yue’s mother now. Zhang Yue’s mother was probably still bothered about the last time when they went to catch Gu Man having a meal with a man.

“Yes, she’s also eating with a lady here,” Zhang Chuan replied.

“What a coincidence. I was just about to call her over to eat with us. Since Auntie Zhang has an appointment, I won’t disturb her,” Gu Rou said obediently.

“You’re so considerate,” Zhang Yue praised.

“Who’s that lady? I’ve known a few ladies recently. Maybe I know her?” Qu Bei asked.
