Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During this period of time, a brief malicious glint flashed across Old Madam Gu’s eyes. It was so fast that no one present could catch it.
When Gu Rou heard Old Madam Gu’s words, she understood what she meant. She suppressed her gloating expression and nodded in understanding. “That’s true. Gu Man went overboard this time. We should indeed let her compensate us.”
Gu Man did not know what the Gu family was thinking. When she returned home, she looked at her grandmother and Huang Jun waiting in the living room and her heart warmed.
After all, this matter involved the Gu family and the Zhang family. Grandma and Huang Jun should have the right to know, so Gu Man did not hide it and sat down on the sofa.
Grandma and Huang Jun revealed surprised expressions. In the past, if Gu Man did not greet them, they would have been waiting in the living room. When she returned, the few of them returned to their rooms separately. But this time, Gu Man actually sat beside them.
Grandma almost immediately realized that something was wrong. She stared at Gu Man with a nervous expression. “Manman, did you suffer any grievances outside? Tell Grandma. Grandma will definitely uphold justice for you.”
Huang Jun echoed, “Did the Gu family look for you?”
When Gu Man heard this, she nodded and shook her head. Under their nervous gazes, she slowly said, “The Gu family came to school today…”
As soon as she said that, Grandma and Huang Jun’s hearts immediately skipped a beat. After hearing everything, they were so angry that their faces turned red.
Grandma was so angry that she coughed a few times before she calmed down. “This Gu family is ridiculous. They actually went to the school to cause trouble. They’re too much. I have to ask them for an explanation.”
Seeing this, Huang Jun could not be bothered to be angry. He immediately pulled his grandmother, who was about to run out, and said, “Don’t be agitated. 1 think Manman still has something to say. Why don’t we listen to Manman?”
Only then did Grandma calm down slightly. She let out a deep breath and sat back on the sofa. “Manman, did the Gu family do anything overboard to you? Don’t be afraid. You have to tell Grandma. Grandma will uphold justice for you!”
Gu Man stared at her grandmother’s angry face and felt a warm current flowing through her heart. The corners of her lips curled up and she felt inexplicably happier. “Grandma, don’t worry. Our form teacher chased her away.”
When Grandma heard this, she nodded in satisfaction. “Your form teacher is not bad. If there’s a chance next time, we must visit him and thank him.”
Gu Man nodded in agreement. Although Zhou Yuan did not usually manage things, he was especially protective of his students. Moreover, after knowing about her studies, he would not force her to study every day. He was quite a good teacher.
“Grandma, Old Master Zhang came to look for me too.”
As Gu Man’s words sounded, the entire living room fell silent. Grandma and Huang Jun also widened their eyes slightly, unable to believe what they had heard. Soon, their expressions turned ugly.
Since Old Master Zhang had already found Gu Man, it seemed like he had to interfere in this matter.
Grandma’s expression was especially solemn. “What did Old Master Zhang tell you?”
As she spoke, her grandmother’s hand trembled non-stop. It was a kind of unwillingness that she could not resist. She closed her eyes slightly, and her eyelids kept trembling.
Huang Jun also lowered his head. If…
The depressed atmosphere lingered between Grandma and Huang Jun. Gu Man’s heart ached when she saw the two of them like this. She quickly said, “Old Master Zhang didn’t make things difficult for me. 1 made two requests. If he can do it, I’ll let the Gu family off for the time being. If he can’t, I’ll still pursue the matter to the end.”
As soon as Gu Man finished speaking, Grandma and Huang Jue looked up. Their eyes were no longer as low as before, and their dark pupils flickered with stars.
In order to make them not worry, Gu Man continued, “I request that my engagement with Zhang Yue be annulled, as well as all the shares of a subsidiary company under Old Master Zhang’s name.”
Grandma and Huang Jun nodded in a daze. Huang Jun’s eyes were exceptionally bright. He rubbed his palms together and opened his mouth, but he quickly closed it and looked away hesitantly..
