However, just as Gu Man was about to approach, someone stopped her. It was Gu Rou.
Gu Rou had a determined expression on her face. She spread her hands and stared at Gu Man. “Sister, it’s fine if you’re disrespectful to me, but how can you be so disrespectful to Miss Cui? This isn’t the Gu family. We can’t always protect you.”
Gu Man stared at Gu Rou and suddenly smiled. “1 don’t mind telling you to get lost again. After all, I’m still very polite to disabled people.”
The people thought: “Is this how you use your manners?”
Gu Rou’s face was pale, as if she was thinking about how powerful Gu Man was. Her body trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down. No matter how impudent Gu Man was, it was impossible for her to hit her in front of so many people.
At the thought of this, Gu Rou’s emotions stabilized. She looked up and confronted Gu Man. Just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly speechless when she met her jet-black gaze.
Fortunately, Zhong Yao’s voice suddenly sounded from the side, allowing Gu Rou to regain some of her thoughts. She was like a drowning person who could finally breathe.
“Cousin, there are so many people here. Let’s not embarrass ourselves here. Besides, Miss Dong didn’t invite you. We can’t continue to make people hate us.” Zhong Yao changed the topic to the original question.
Dong Xia, who was still in a daze, was still a little stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted and nodded.
However, this time, Dong Xia did not meet Gu Man’s gaze again. For some reason, she always had some misgivings, although she did not know what she was worried about.
“Miss Gu, 1 didn’t invite you. Please leave my banquet. I don’t want this place to be in a mess.” Dong Xia’s expression was especially serious, but she kept looking at Gu Man, making people feel a little strange.
Gu Man glanced at Dong Xia, and most importantly, she looked at Cui Ya, who was hiding behind her.
“Cui Ya, do you know what your grandfather told you?” Gu Man ignored the others and looked at Cui Ya.
Her main reason for coming up was also because of Cui Ya. If she did not complete her homework at home, where would she find the time to attend these banquets?
If she did not learn her lesson, no matter how outstanding her education method was, it would not be able to correct her worldview that had been led astray by Jia Ling since she was young.
“No, even if my grandfather really said that he wants you to control me, this doesn’t mean that you can casually limit the time I can go out to play.” Cui Ya stuck her head out from behind Dong Xia and straightened her neck.
Her attitude also puzzled the people around her, and they kept discussing.
“No matter how I look at it, these two don’t look like one was a fake granddaughter and the other a real granddaughter. Instead, they look more like a teacher and her student”
“I think so too. Could it be that Miss Cui doesn’t like this tutor, so she made such comments in a fit of anger?”
“Maybe she went out with Old Master Cui to discuss Miss Cui’s situation and was misunderstood.”
This group of people easily believed what they heard. When they saw that Miss Cui’s attitude was timid and not hateful, they started to guess the twists and turns, trying to minimize their losses.
If she was really not a fake daughter, Miss Cui would not have any problems. Instead, people like them who gossiped behind her back would be implicated.
Dong Xia also heard the discussions of the others. She lowered her head and looked at Cui Ya in confusion. Her eyes were really as they said. There was no disgust, only fear.
If it was just what Gu Rou had said just now, how could Cui Ya be so afraid?
Dong Xia, who had always been rational, fell into deep thought. Then, she thought of the aura she had felt from Gu Man just now. The second explanation seemed to be even more convincing.
It was absolutely impossible for materialistic people to have such an aura.
Cui Ya could not care less about the change in Gu Man’s tone. She tugged at Cui Xuan beside her and tried her best to use her eyes to signal her to quickly escape with her.
However, Cui Xuan looked at Cui Ya apologetically and shook her head at her..
