Chapter 663: Persuading the Gu Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhong Yao’s expression changed drastically. She was still trying her best to climb up, but Gu Man, who lived with her, was already circulating between the two families.
Moreover, she had tried her best to build a relationship with Huang Yue, but recently, Huang Yue had never paid attention to her. She did not know if it was because of the voice message.
It was indeed a little rash of her to release the recording back then, but it was impossible not to release it under such circumstances.
However, who knew that her relationship with Huang Yue would suddenly drop to the freezing point, and all her previous efforts would be in vain?
At the thought of this, Zhong Yao hated her in her heart. If only Gu Man could obediently be schemed against, this would not have happened.
However, not only was Gu Man not schemed against until she was in dire straits, she was even more glorious. She even had two major businesses in her hands. Even if she did not rely on anyone in the future, she could live freely.
“That’s indeed the truth. It was exposed at Dongxia’s banquet, but the news media didn’t report this matter, or the Cui family made a move to suppress this matter. At that time, the two girls of the Cui family fled because they couldn’t accept this matter.” Gu Rou briefly explained what happened at the banquet.
However, things were so fantastical that it was like a novel. It was unbelievable.
However, no matter how unbelievable this matter was, there was no need for Gu Rou to fabricate a lie for Gu Man.
“There’s actually such a thing.” Old Madam Gu’s expression turned serious. “If the Cui family interferes, we really can’t do anything to Gu Man.”
Gu Rou panicked when she heard this.
Back then, one of her requests for agreeing to Gu Man’s return was to marry Gu Man to the old man that the Gu family had carefully chosen.
Not only could she save the Gu family’s current situation, but she could also do something that disgusted Gu Man. Why not?
“Grandma, we can’t think like this. If we think like this, we’ll be affected by them. We’re members of the Gu family. Can’t we even make the decision for her? Even if the Cui family wants to interfere, they have to have a legitimate reason. They’re not related to Gu Man, so they can’t go beyond us. Once this matter is exposed online, there will naturally be netizens who will uphold justice for us.” Gu Rou tried her best to dissuade her.
Her words did have some effect.
After Old Madam Gu heard this, she fell into deep thought. “You’re right. Even if the Cui family wants to back her up, as her parents, we have no problem deciding our children’s marriage. They can’t find any reason.”
A greedy expression appeared on Qu Bei’s face. “Besides, when Gu Man returns, we can still hold the assets in her hands. At that time, will our Gu family still have to listen to others? What they’ve given away is like water that has been splashed out. Even if the Cui and Zhang families want to take it back, they have to consider their own reputation.”
Gu Yuan looked at Qu Bei approvingly. “You finally know how to think. You’re right. I don’t believe it. As a father, 1 don’t have the right to make decisions.”
Gu Rou smiled and took out her phone. “Then I’ll call her now to persuade her.”
At the mention of this, the faces of the other members of the Gu family darkened because Gu Man had blocked them.
The reason why Gu Rou had Gu Man’s contact details was because she had gone to their house last time.
The phone’s ringtone kept echoing in the empty hall. The cell phone vibrated a few times but there was no response. Just as Gu Rou thought that the call would not be picked up, it was picked up.
Gu Man’s lazy voice came from the other end of the cell phone, as if she was about to sleep.
“What’s the matter?” However, her tone was raised and disdainful. She did not take Gu Rou seriously at all.
Gu Rou suppressed the displeasure in her heart and tried her best to be gentle. She said, “Sister, it’s still that matter. We did do something wrong, so we want to apologize to you. Everyone in the family is looking forward to your return.”
“No.” Gu Man looked at her cell phone. Although she planned to go back and turn the Gu family upside down, it would easily arouse suspicion if she rashly agreed..
