Chapter 39: Gu Man Eats With Her Beauty
Gu Yuan asked Gu Rou in confusion, “Do you know when Gu Man got to know the girl from the Bai family?”
“Gu Man didn’t tell me about the Bai family’s daughter, but Gu Man should know Bai Yun.” Gu Rou’s words made everyone feel like “Oh so that’s how it is.”
It seemed like she could only enter by selling her beauty.
Gu Yuan was disgusted, but he could not vent his anger now. He could only call out to everyone, “Let her be. Let her learn her lesson! Let’s eat quickly!”
Gu Rou sat beside Zhang Yue. She saw that Zhang Yue had not said anything since he entered. Was he thinking about that little b*tch Gu Man?
“Brother Yue, I’m so worried about Gu Man. I heard that Young Master Bai is a playboy. Gu Man is so innocent. Will she be deceived?” Gu Rou pretended to be worried. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears as she looked at Zhang Yue.
“Why are you so worried?” Zhang Yue’s tone was a little harsh. His mind was indeed filled with Gu Man.
However, it was Gu Man’s pink lips that spat out the words, “I don’t like you!”
Hearing Zhang Yue’s attitude, Gu Rou’s eyes turned red. “Brother Yue, you’re being fierce to me!”
Zhang Yue took a deep breath and restrained his emotions. He held Gu Rou’s hand and comforted her. “I’m sorry. I’m a bit dizzy because Gu Man angered me just now. Let’s talk less about her in the future, okay?”
“Okay, Brother Yue. I won’t say anything else in the future. Let’s eat!” Gu Rou nodded obediently.
“Aiya, look at how close they are!” Li Guo’s mother smiled at Qu Bei. Actually, she felt a little upset. The Gu family was new money, but they were actually able to get close to the generationally wealthy Zhang family. They were really lucky.
“Zhang Chuan and Rou’er’s relationship is so good that there’s nothing to say. I just want them to get married quickly,” Qu Bei said proudly. The Li family was always above the Gu family. When they got married to the Zhang family, the Li family would still come to curry favor with the Gu family. Qu Bei felt happy just thinking about it.
At this moment, Gu Yuan raised his glass and said to the Li Family, “I apologize on behalf of the Gu Family for what happened yesterday. I didn’t teach my daughter well. I hope you can understand. I hope that the cooperation between the Gu Family and the Li Family can last long.”
Li Guo’s father also replied, “Brother Gu, how can our family’s business cooperation be affected by a country girl?”
Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.
In the private room of Nine Dragons Gate, Bai Yun was muttering, “The dishes are already served. Why aren’t they back yet?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter opened the door and Gu Man and Bai Ling walked in.
Bai Ling sat down angrily.
Bai Yun looked at her. “What’s wrong? Who dares to provoke you?”
Bai Ling had an extraordinary status in the Bai Family. No one dared to say anything aloud, and she was coaxed and doted on like a little princess, especially by Old Master Bai. He was always saying, “My baby Bai Ling is the best!” and “My baby Bai Ling is the cutest!”
Bai Yun was a little glad that Bai Ling had not been spoiled. Although Bai Ling was a little delicate now, she was mostly true to herself. She usually liked to meddle in other people’s business and fight for justice. She was always laughing and joking, and it was rare for her to be angry.
“Hmph, they’re bullying us. How dare they bully Little Missy!” Bai Ling’s words made everyone look at Gu Man.
Gu Man’s expression was indifferent. It was impossible to tell that she had been bullied.
Seeing everyone’s questioning gazes, Gu Man explained simply, “I met someone from the Gu family.”
Xiang Yin and Bai Yun roughly knew about Gu Man’s relationship with the Gu family. Only Cui Lin was still puzzled.
The Gu family? Wasn’t that her family?
Bai Ling could not understand why her family would be so fierce and speak so loudly.
“They’re here to eat too?” Bai Yun asked.
“To apologize to the Li Family.” Gu Man snorted.
“Apologizing for beating him at school?” Xiang Yin asked.
“Yes,” Gu Man replied simply.
“Wasn’t that kid sentenced to be in prison? Shouldn’t the Li Family be begging your Gu Family to let go of the case? Why is the Gu Family apologizing now?” Bai Yun asked curiously.
“If Li Guo goes to jail, the Gu family is afraid that their business will be gone!” Gu Man analyzed quietly, as if she was not talking about herself.
“The Gu family withdrew the case?” Xiang Yin summarized.
Gu Man nodded.
“You agreed?” Xiang Yin asked again.
“My guardian agreed.”
Seeing that Gu Man even addressed him like this, everyone understood that she was very disappointed in the Gu family’s actions!
Gu Man didn’t want to say anything else. She called out to everyone, “Let’s eat.”
“Let’s eat, let’s eat. I’m so hungry! I love peony prawns!” Bai Ling pretended to cheer and bit into a prawn. She almost wanted to cry. Miss Gu Man’s family treated her like this. It was too detestable.
“Be ladylike!” Bai Yun shouted unhappily.
