Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!



89 The Bigshot Is A Saviour

Gu Yuan still wanted to fight for it, but Gu Man said coldly, “Don’t you understand human language? No means no.”

Gu Rou’s heart was filled with hatred, but she still pretended to be aggrieved. “Gu Man, Zhong Yao is also your cousin. It’s fine if you don’t help her, but why are you talking about us like this? We just want to…”

Zhuang Yan interrupted Gu Rou coldly, “Gu Rou, it’s not Gu Man’s business. I’m not the head of the Zhuang Family. I won’t make any promises. If the head of the Zhuang Family promises you, I won’t stop you.”

Gu Yuan said shamelessly, “Then can you help us mention it?”

Zhuang Yan immediately rejected, “I’m sorry, I won’t get involved in such things.”

With that, she bade farewell and left the Gu family.

Gu Man sent her out of the door. She felt sorry for Zhuang Yan and apologized to him. “I’m sorry, Teacher Zhuang.”

She did not expect the Gu family to be so shameless to outsiders. One second, they were insulting others, and the next, they wanted to kneel down and beg others. It was rare.

Zhuang Yan smiled helplessly. “I’ve already said that it’s none of your business. Don’t blame yourself.”

She did not like the actions of the Gu family either, but Gu Man was also a victim. She did not know how those people would vent their anger on her later.

Sure enough, after Gu Man sent Zhuang Yan off, she felt a strange silence the moment she stepped into the hall, especially when Old Madam Gu looked at her as if she wanted to swallow her alive.

Gu Man smiled and looked at them calmly with her hands crossed.

She understood this group of people. They might not be capable of anything else, but they were very capable of venting their anger.

Looking at Gu Man’s amused expression, Gu Yuan suppressed his anger.

Gu Yuan had already thought of all kinds of ways just now. He was weaker than others in terms of money and connections. Zhong Yao was not a genius, nor did she have any heroic deeds. How could she catch the eyes of those board members?

Right now, the only breakthrough seemed to be with Gu Man.

But looking at Gu Man’s expression, this breakthrough seemed to be a dead end.

Gu Yuan could not help but feel even more frustrated.

Gu Rou was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. She tried to reason and talk about relationships with Gu Man. “Gu Man, Zhong Yao is our biological cousin. If she can come to Han City to study, we will have another companion. If we don’t even help our relatives, wouldn’t we be too cold-blooded?”

“Aren’t I the adopted daughter of the Gu family? Since when did I have a biological cousin?” Gu Man pretended to be puzzled.

“Gu Man, when did the Gu family treat you as their adopted daughter? We gave you everything, from your food to your clothes, shelter, and transport. Now that we need your help, you’re here to say this. You’ve really disappointed us,” Qu Bei continued.

Gu Man snorted. “You’re the ones who are pretending. Don’t even think about asking me to clean up your mess.”

Gu Rou said to Gu Zhi, “Aunt, look, we’ve already tried our best. Gu Man is also unwilling to ask Teacher Zhuang for help. There’s no other way now.”

Gu Rou saw that Gu Zhi’s eyes were gradually filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Man, and she was secretly proud.

Gu Zhi looked at Gu Yuan. “Brother, do you think there’s any other way?”

Gu Yuan was worried and anxious. If he could not do this well, his image in his hometown would not be respectable, but laughable.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Gu Man, if it’s not easy for you to ask Miss Zhuang, then what about Mrs. Zhou?”

Qu Bei slapped her thigh as if she had found her savior. “That’s right. Gu Man saved her daughter. Didn’t she say that she would bring her daughter over to thank you? Couldn’t you have just mentioned this then?”

Qu Bei’s thoughts were very simple. An eye for an eye was only right.

When Gu Man heard this, she was so angry that she almost laughed.

She stood up straight and said as she walked, “I’ve already rejected Mrs. Zhou from coming over. If you don’t want to make a fool of yourself, don’t have any ideas about her.”

Gu Zhi immediately cried, “Aiyo, my poor Yao’er. We’re so unlucky. We finally found a way to survive, but now it’s gone. Someone could say something to help, but she’s unwilling to save us. I’m really sorry.”

When Gu Man heard this, she frowned and watched as Gu Zhi hugged Zhong Yao and cried. At first glance, she thought that Zhong Yao was really going to die.

It was fine if she cried, but Old Madam Gu immediately joined the mourning camp. The Gu residence was instantly filled with wails.

Gu Man felt that it was ear-piercing and quickened her pace. She went upstairs and closed the door. The entire world was finally quiet.
