Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 102

102 Bigshot’s Conscience

When Gu Man returned to the Gu residence, it was already evening. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Yuan welcoming her. He did not scold her loudly like usual. Instead, he asked in a rare gentle voice, “Where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Hearing how friendly Gu Yuan was, Gu Man could not react for a moment. Did the sun rise from the west today?

After a while, Gu Man asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Man thought to herself, If you have something to say, say it quickly. I still have to help Grandma find a house.

Seeing Gu Man’s cold expression, Gu Yuan wanted to scold her, but he held it in, his face flushed red.

“Mrs. Zhou called and said that she wants to treat us to a meal tonight. Prepare yourself.”

When Gu Man heard Gu Yuan’s words, she finally understood why his att.i.tude had changed. So he had a favor to ask of her.

“I’m not going.”

Gu Man walked around Gu Yuan and quickly went upstairs to her room.

She had been out for half a day and she traveled. She needed to rest.

Gu Man had just come out of the shower when she heard a knock on the door.

“Gu Man, it’s me.” Gu Rou’s voice sounded from outside the door.

“I told you, I’m not going,” Gu Man replied angrily.

“Open the door first. I have something to say. It won’t be too late for you to decide then.”

Outside the door, Gu Rou’s face was already dark and long, but she refused to give up.

Although she did not care if Zhong Yao could enter Han City First High School, Gu Yuan had already spread the word that if they could not complete this matter, it would not only be Gu Yuan who would be embarra.s.sed.

Gu Rou thought hatefully, Only an outsider like Gu Man would not care about the Gu family’s reputation.

Gu Man pretended not to hear her and turned on the hairdryer to cover Gu Rou’s voice.

“Gu Man…”

After a while, Gu Rou was tired from knocking on the door. Her expression became uglier and uglier. Just as she raised her hand to knock again and before she could adjust her expression, the door opened.

Gu Man looked at the expression on Gu Rou’s face and snorted. She indeed had a different face in front of everyone.

“Speak.” Gu Man’s hair was half dry and half wet.

Gu Rou looked at Gu Man’s originally cold face and saw that her messy hair made her look even more wild and carefree. A wave of crazy jealousy surged in her heart.

Gu Man used this face to seduce men. If this face was ruined, what would Gu Man have left? A vicious plan brewed in Gu Rou’s heart.

But at this moment, she pretended to be unhappy and said, “Gu Man, if you still don’t open the door, I’ll be anxious.”

She was explaining the reason for her ugly expression.

Gu Man looked at her without saying anything.

Seeing Gu Man’s arrogant look, Gu Rou was about to stomp her feet in anger, but she restrained herself.

She a.n.a.lyzed again, “Mrs. Zhou is from the Zhou Family, one of the four major families in Han City. Now that she says that she wants to treat us, if we don’t go, we’ll be too arrogant. Many of the Gu Family’s businesses still rely on the Zhou Family.”

“So?” Gu Man asked coldly.

“The Gu family provides for your food and clothes. You’re not even willing to help with such a small matter. Aren’t you letting your conscience down?”

Gu Rou looked heartbroken. She wished she could say, “You heartless traitor.”

“You don’t have to worry about my conscience,” Gu Man said calmly with a smile.

“Gu Man, you’re just going to eat a meal. We don’t need you to do anything. Why are you so stubborn?” Gu Rou still didn’t give up and tried to provoke Gu Man.

Unfortunately, Gu Man did not fall for it.

“I’m stubborn. I’m not as good at changing as you are.”

“But we’ve already accepted Mrs. Zhou’s invitation. Our Gu family has to go, and Mrs. Zhou specifically asked you to go.” Gu Rou told her about their decision to act first and report later.

“Ha, since you all can help me make a decision, you all can go on my behalf.”

Gu Man was a little angry. These people still thought that she was a pushover and wanted her to go. Who did they think they were?

“How can that do? I already said that Mrs. Zhou specifically asked you to go. She said that her daughter really wants to thank you in person.”

Gu Man recalled the girl’s helpless face when the criminals held her hostage and almost agreed. However, when she thought of the consequences, she still said firmly, “No!”
