There was clearly no pleading in Xiang Yin’s tone, but it inexplicably made Gu Man’s heart tighten. At this moment, the belief that she wanted to stay almost filled her entire heart.
Gu Man quickly calmed down and smiled. “I’ve said from the beginning that we’re not from the same world and are not suitable to be together.”
“Are you talking about cultivation? If 1 cultivate, we’ll be in the same world.” His tone was a little paranoid as he tightened his grip on Gu Man’s wrist.
“Xiang Yin, you’re not such a hesitant person. Why are you still pestering me?” Gu Man tried her best to make her tone ruthless.
Xiang Yin’s pupils darkened, as if the light in his eyes had instantly dimmed. Soon, he let go and smiled, but his smile was a little bitter. “Okay, 1 understand.”
Although he said that, Xiang Yin did not think so. He believed that as long as he persisted, there would be a day when he would succeed.
However, he also knew that it would backfire if he continued, so he agreed on the surface, but it did not stop him from secretly working hard.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yin’s depressed mood improved.
Gu Man reached out to open the door and walked out. She stood at the door with her hands clenched into fists. She stood there for a long time before taking the elevator downstairs.
She shouldn’t be like this. Calmness should be her byword.
She took a few breaths to suppress the emotions in her heart. She became even colder, as if she did not care about anything, but only Gu Man knew that she was only using a hard shell to disguise herself.
When she arrived downstairs, Gu Man suddenly realized a problem. She should go back to the Gu family.
Gu Man rubbed her temples with a headache. She was still not used to the Gu family, but since she was already here tonight, she might as well sleep here for the night.
She wondered how her grandmother, Huang Jun, and Huang Jue had been recently.
She reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, she heard footsteps coming from inside. When she opened the door, she realized that it was her grandmother in her pajamas.
Grandma was a little surprised. She looked at Gu Man for a long time before a happy expression appeared on her face. However, as if she had thought of something, her expression darkened again. “Manman, did the Gu family bully you?”
“No, I just forgot that 1 should go back to the Gu family and I came back to see you guys tonight.” Gu Man smiled and shook her head. It felt good to be cared for.
She stuck her head out to take a look in the room. “Are Uncle and Huang Jue asleep?”
“They’ve all returned to their rooms. I’ll call them out,” Grandma said as she walked in. She couldn’t even stop her.
Gu Man held her forehead helplessly.
Soon, the others walked out of the room. Huang Jun and Huang Jue were happy.
“Manman is back.” Huang Jun smiled and looked Gu Man up and down, as if he was confirming if she had been doing well recently. “You seem to have lost weight.”
“Dad, why are you lying through your teeth? I even feel that Sister has gained a little weight.” Huang Jue stood at the side and rolled his eyes, but his eyes kept glancing in Gu Man’s direction, his eyes filled with longing.
Huang Jun looked at Huang Jue unhappily. “What are you talking about? It’s obvious that Manman was bullied in the Gu family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come back.”
At this point, Huang Jun looked at Gu Man. “If you’re too tired, come back. Don’t dwell on these grudges. It’s good that our family can be together.”
Huang Jun really thought so. Moreover, the situation he had imagined did not happen in the company now. Those employees were very obedient to him, and the most obvious one was Manager Zhang Li. She was so attentive that Huang Jun was not used to it.
The subsidiary company seemed to be completely unaffected by the change of CEO.
The company’s income was also very stable now, and their family did not have to worry about their livelihood at all.
In Huang Jun’s opinion, their current life was enough. There was no need to fight for too much. Although Gu Yuan’s actions were indeed dishonest, the Gu family had reached this stage, and was not something that could be compared to them..
