“I just didn’t expect Gu Man to be not simple. She actually hooked up with the heir of the Xiang family.”

At the thought of this, Qu Bei became more frustrated. She drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp. She could not understand what was so good about Gu Man that the heir of the Xiang family liked her.

At the mention of this, Gu Yuan’s expression darkened.

“This wretched girl doesn’t tell us anything. She’s dating the heir of the Xiang family. She didn’t even tell us such an important thing. I think she never took me, her father, seriously!”

Gu Rou sat beside Gu Yuan and held his arm. She said sweetly, “Sister has indeed gone overboard this time, but if the theft is exposed, will the heir of the Xiang family abandon Sister? Why don’t we forget it?”

Her raised face was filled with worry, as if she was sincerely thinking for Gu Man.

When Gu Yuan heard her words, he felt even angrier and his hatred for Gu Man increased. “Why should 1 care about her? She has the ability to seduce and not secure. She’s just like her Mom!”

…..

“Dad, you can’t say that. What if the heir of the Xiang family gets angry and takes his anger out on us? 1 saw him that day. Perhaps he won’t blame us if I talk to him later.”

Gu Yuan keenly caught the meaning in Gu Ron’s words, and his expression instantly softened. “You’ve met the heir of the Xiang family?”

Gu Rou nodded and a hint of shyness appeared on her face, as if something had happened with Xiang Yin.

Gu Yuan’s originally sinister face finally revealed some joy.

“Rou’er is so kind. Isn’t she thousands of times better than Gu Man? Let me tell you, seize this opportunity and strive to capture the heir of the Xiang family.”

Gu Rou revealed a hesitant expression and said tentatively, “Dad, that’s not good. Brother Zhang and I…”

Gu Rou was also observing the emotions on Gu Yuan’s face.

“The Zhang family is nothing compared to the Xiang family. Moreover, the person who is engaged to the Zhang family is Gu Man. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you build a relationship with the Xiang family, why would you be afraid of a small Zhang family?”

Gu Yuan had almost made it clear. It would be too much for Gu Rou to pretend not to understand. She nodded.

In any case, Gu Man was the one who was engaged to the Zhang family. Zhang Yue refused to annul the engagement no matter what, which gave her a chance to explain.

She had to capture the heir of the Xiang family and become the object of everyone’s admiration.

Since Gu Man could be liked by the heir of the Xiang family, so could she!

Qu Bei looked at the two of them in satisfaction. She had this thought and did not know what to say. After all, there was still Zhang Yue in the middle.

However, since Gu Yuan had spoken, it meant that he had decided to take care of this matter. With his promise, Gu Rou could hook up with the heir of the Xiang family freely, in case someone gossiped behind her back.

Old Madam Gu’s expression, which had darkened for many years, also brightened at this moment.

“Rou’er is the most sensible person in this family. Gu Man is an untamed wolf! She only knows how to cause trouble for our family. I told you back then not to bring her home.”

Seeing this, Gu Zhi chimed in, “That’s right. She’s insensible in our place. Such a person deserves to be an orphan. She really doesn’t have Mom to teach her.”

Gu Zhi was still cursing Gu Man, but she did not notice that the expressions of the rest of the Gu family had turned bad.

Zhong Yao had lived here for so long and knew how to read someone from their body language. Seeing this, she immediately tugged at Gu Zhi’s sleeve and said with a smile, “I’ve seen the news too. The heir of the Xiang family is still compatible with Cousin Gu Rou. Gu Man is still an unpresentable person. When she stands with the heir of the Xiang family, she looks like a country bumpkin.”

Everyone liked flattery, and Gu Rou was no exception. She nodded in satisfaction and continued.

Zhong Yao successfully diverted everyone’s attention. Seeing that their expressions had improved, she tugged at Gu Zhi’s sleeve and reminded her softly, “That person is a taboo. Remember not to mention it in the Gu family next time..”
