Chapter 410: Not Familiar

A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Gu Ron’s forehead. She could only try her best to smooth this matter over because this wine was not stored here by her. Once the Manager came and asked her if she was going to collect the wine today, everything would be exposed.

Her image would completely collapse in front of Xiang Yin. Gu Rou could not accept this fact.

Her eyes darted around two or three times before she finally fixed her gaze on Bai Yun. Since the wine was his, if he did not pursue the matter, she could let this matter go.

“Young Master Bai, there are many coincidences. Perhaps the two of us just have some misunderstandings. Today is a happy day. I don’t want such trivial matters to affect our relations.h.i.+p.”

When Gu Man heard Gu Ron’s words, she could not help but laugh.

“When did Bai Yun get to know Gu Rou? Why didn’t I know? Besides, how can today be considered a happy day?”

Gu Man’s words shattered Gu Rou’s disguise. Bai Yun’s expression turned completely cold.

“Miss Gu Rou, we’ve only met a few times, so we’re not familiar with each other. Moreover, how can losing alcohol be a small matter? If Miss Gu Rou has nothing to do with this, there’s no need to continue. If I misunderstood you, I’ll naturally apologize afterward.”

Gu Rou’s face was pale and her lips were trembling. Her fingertips dug into her palms. At the same time, resentment rose as she glared in Gu Man’s direction. If she had not interrupted just now, her plan would have succeeded.

However, how could this matter pa.s.s so easily? Although she did not know who the bottle of wine she had stolen belonged to.

Since it was such a coincidence, the matter of the Romance Conti being Bai Yun’s could not be exposed. Otherwise, not only would it be embarra.s.sing, but the Gu family would also have to suffer the Bai family’s anger.

If Gu Yuan found out about this, what status would she have in the family?

Her pleading gaze landed on her scoundrel friends, but they avoided her gaze at this moment. No one was willing to accept her pleading gaze.

Some people even fanned the flames.

“Gu Rou, if this matter really has nothing to do with you, there’s no need for us to say anything. Let them investigate.”

The person who spoke was the woman who did not get along with Gu Rou at the beginning. She looked like she was watching a good show. How could Gu Rou not understand her thoughts? However, she could not scold her now.

“Gu Rou, if you really don’t feel guilty, don’t stop them. Or you can call Gu Yuan and see if he gave you that bottle of wine.”

With Gu Rou’s current connections, she could not get her hands on Romance Conti. Therefore, even if this wine was really Gu Rou’s, it could only be Gu Yuan who gave it to her.

Hearing this, Gu Rou broke out in cold sweat. How could she make this call? The truth will definitely be exposed.

“It’s better not to trouble Father with such a small matter.”

“What do you mean, trouble? This is to prove your innocence.”

Gu Man pressed on step by step. For a moment, Gu Rou was so threatened, she cried. She took the opportunity to speak.

“Gu Man, we’re sisters. Do you really have to make things so stiff? Do you have to be so aggressive?”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and naturally, some people pitied her.

She held back her tears and looked elsewhere from a 45-degree angle.

However, Gu Man did not fall for her tricks at all. She was not a man who loved beauties, so she could naturally see the lies in Gu Rou’s words and retorted bluntly.

“What do you mean by I’m being aggressive? If you didn’t steal this wine, can’t you just cooperate with the investigation? Why are you so protective of the person who stole the wine? You even changed the topic one after another. Don’t tell me these friends of yours stole it?”

Once they were implicated with charges, they could not care less about defending others. They only wanted to quickly clear their names. Hence, the voices of denial rose and fell, pus.h.i.+ng Gu Rou to the high ground.

If they continued to protect her, wouldn’t that prove Gu Man’s words?
