Chapter 626: Zhang Yue Protects Gu Ron
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
These words hit Zhang Yue’s heart hard. He belatedly thought of something and looked up at Gu Man.
How could he not know Gu Man’s character? Why was he still thinking about how to explain it to her? Instead, it made Gu Ron’s heart turn cold.
His lips moved slightly. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, “Grandpa has already compensated you so much. The Gu family really wants you to go back. When can you be more sensible?”
Although Zhang Yue’s words were ambiguous, the accusation in his words was obvious. He had already convicted Gu Man silently. The gazes of the people around him instantly changed as he spoke.
The faint sizing up and the faint discussion made Zhang Yue’s heart sink. He vaguely remembered why he was here. It seemed to be to make Gu Man feel less embarrassed, but why was the situation getting more and more out of control because of his arrival?
He did not understand, but he had already said it and could not take it back. If he changed it now, it would make him look like he was not.
For his own benefit, Zhang Yue finally did not decide to continue.
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. What you did back then couldn’t be considered obscure. It’s just that so much time has passed and everyone doesn’t choose to pursue the matter. Do you really think that others are fools and don’t know anything?” Gu Man said word by word, her expression already replaced by ruthlessness.
Zhang Yue and Gu Ron’s hearts were also pounding because of this matter. Back then, because Gu Yuan was in a hurry to get into position, that matter could not be handled properly. Although the end was wiped clean in the end, there were inevitably mistakes. Gu Man was so sure that she might really have something on him.
Gu Ron said in a panic, “Sister, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but isn’t our current topic to ask you to return to the Gu family? We’re from the same roots. Why are you in such a hurry to get along? I’ve always treated you as my biological sister. Although what you’ve done always disappoints the family, 1 believe you’ll definitely change.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t have a sister like you.” Gu Man’s words were cold and ruthless.
She did not look like she was lying at all, and what happened back then was indeed suspicious. It was not as simple as Gu Rou had imagined. And because Gu Man deliberately involved this matter, the discussion became louder and louder.
“What Huang Family? What Gu Family? Why haven’t I heard of them? Besides, isn’t Huang Yue here?” Cui Ya asked curiously, looking at Cui Xuan beside her.
Cui Xuan obviously did not know about this either. She looked at Dong Xia for help.
Dong Xia was still squinting and sizing up the situation here. When she heard this, she retracted her gaze. “This Huang Family is not the same Huang Family. Miss Huang is the Huang Family of the outer state, and the Huang Family they’re talking about is the Huang Family of Han City that was popular a few years ago.”
Cui Ya and Cui Xuan were still puzzled. Because of their age and the fact that although this family was prosperous for a period of time, it was quickly destroyed, very few people mentioned it. It was reasonable that they did not know.
Dong Xia smiled and rubbed their heads. “I’ll explain it to you when we get back.”
Dong Xia looked away from Cui Ya and Cui Xuan and at Gu Man in front of her.
Of course she knew about the Huang Family, but she did not expect Gu Man to seem to be a child of the Huang Family. It was a pity that the Huang Family suddenly died just as it was thriving. At that time, the discussion was intense, but now, it had turned into smoke and was no longer mentioned.
“Not just any Huang Family can be compared to our Huang Family in the outer state.” Huang Yue’s nobleness made it impossible for her to be compared to a destroyed family. This was tantamount to putting her status on par with that family. Huang Yue could not tolerate this humiliation.
Gu Man looked at Huang Yue, her eyes rippling. “Huang Yue, i haven’t settled the score with you for the recording just now. Do you really think that I don’t know where the recording came from just because Zhong Yao released it? You really treat me as a fool. You took it out of context and misinterpreted it.. If Old Master Cui finds out, what will happen to you?”
