Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Treated As An Ugly Duckling

Birds of a feather really did flock together.

These few people were Gu Man’s relatives in name, but from the beginning to the end, they were only concerned about the Gu Family’s reputation and the Gu Family’s interests. Not only did they not care about the grievances Gu Man had suffered, they even felt that Gu Man’s revenge was a huge mistake.

When it came to how they treated Gu Man, the few of them would always be the same.

Seeing that Gu Man did not nod or reply, Qu Bei felt that Gu Man was the one who was aggrieved and did not speak. She said sarcastically, “Gu Man, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but with your personality, how can you build a good relations.h.i.+p with your cla.s.smates in school? They’re targeting you because of you yourself. Have you thought about it?” 1

“Look, your sister used to study in Han City First High School. In those three years, she had always been a good student of the school and an outstanding cadre of the Student Union. She even established a mental health segment for the school’s radio and is everyone’s caring sister. Learn more from your sister. If you don’t understand, ask her.”

When Gu Rou was in high school, she was top-notch in everything. Not only was she popular, but her grades were also in the top five of the grade.

However, half of her reputation was promoted by Qu Bei.

Qu Bei was proud that Gu Man had satisfied her wish.

When she saw the current Gu Man and Gu Rou, she recalled the feeling she had with Gu Man’s mother back then. However, the roles were reversed. The Gu Man now was the humble her, while Gu Rou was the outstanding Gu Man’s mother.

Gu Man’s mother, Xie Qi, was a socialite in Han City at that time. Although she had a calm personality, she was knowledgeable and intelligent. Everyone around her used her as a role model, and Qu Bei needed to stay with the Xie family at that time. Every time Qu Bei stood beside Xie Qi, Qu Bei felt like an ugly duckling standing beside a proud swan.

She was griefed, jealous, and unwilling!

This jealousy gradually became hatred in her heart.

Now that she looked at Gu Man, who was like an ugly duckling, Qu Bei felt as if she had gotten her revenge. Moreover, Xie Qi had pa.s.sed away for so many years. She, Qu Bei, was now Madam Gu. Gu Yuan doted on her and her daughter, Gu Rou, was also so outstanding. Qu Bei had obtained everything that Xie Qi had in the past.

Qu Bei wanted to laugh in her heart. “I, Qu Bei, am the winner!”

Gu Yuan snorted coldly. “If she was one-tenth as sensible and smart as Gu Rou, she wouldn’t have nothing presentable to show, let alone cause trouble like now!”

When Qu Bei compared Gu Man to Gu Rou, Gu Yuan looked at Gu Man even more unpleasantly.

Gu Rou was secretly proud.

How could Gu Man compare to her? She’s just a useless piece of trash.

Such trash was still thinking about Zhang Yue and even occupied the position of being Zhang Yue’s fiancée.

Seeing that Gu Man had started playing with her phone, Gu Yuan was so angry that he slapped her.

Gu Man felt a gust of wind and dodged to the side.

Gu Man did not expect Gu Yuan to make a move at this time. Her earpiece was pulled off.

“You’re… you’re turning a deaf ear to what we’re saying? Do you believe that I’ll throw you back to the countryside?” Gu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he saw that Gu Man actually ignored him from the beginning to the end.

If possible, he would definitely chase Gu Man out of the house and throw her into the countryside so that she would not be an eyesore to him.

But now, Gu Yuan still had to rely on Gu Man to maintain his image as a philanthropist. It was because he had adopted Gu Man that the charity industry thought even more highly of him. 1

“I’m just afraid that you won’t dare to chase me out of the Gu Family!” Gu Man knew Gu Yuan’s concerns. 1

Gu Man added, “If you want me to go to the Li Family to apologize, no way! If you dare to force me again, I might do something even worse than sending Li Guo to prison!”

With that, she turned around and went upstairs.

“Aiya, what sin has my Gu family committed to be ruined by such a little b*tch?” Old Madam Gu patted her thigh and cried. 2

Everyone quickly went to comfort her.

“Grandma, don’t worry. Brother Yue said that he will treat the Li Family to a meal. We’ll just apologize to the Li family as a family and we’ll be fine.” Gu Rou’s words made everyone feel at ease.

With the Zhang Family stepping in, the Li Family would definitely give them face. By then, they would prepare a generous gift to apologize and this matter should be successfully resolved.

Qu Bei said happily to Gu Rou, “Zhang Yue did this because of you. You have to hold on to him. There are many vixens outside now. If you’re not careful, they’ll seduce him. Be careful, understand?” 1

Gu Rou was also proud in her heart. She could tell that Zhang Yue really cared about her. So what if he was Gu Man’s fiancé? He was still firmly in her hands!

“Has Zhang Yue arranged where they’re going to eat? We can prepare early!” Gu Yuan asked.

“Tomorrow night at seven o’clock at the Restaurant Fragrance.”
