Chapter 726: Speculation

Although Gu Man had left, the discussion about her did not stop.
After she completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, Gu Rou said meaningfully, “I keep feeling that Sister is in a bad mood. I wonder if it’s about the Zhang family’s subsidiary or the Xiang family?”
Gu Rou said this on purpose. She wanted the others in the Gu family to know that Gu Man was very likely to have been abandoned now. Their actions could also be more impudent and bold.
As expected, as soon as the words left her mouth, the Gu family’s minds started to race. Qu Bei roughly scanned everyone’s gazes and immediately replied to Gu Rou, “No wonder she has such a bad temper today. Looks like she got angry outside and vented her anger on us?”
Zhong Yao understood the reason why Gu Rou did this. Previously, she had wanted to cling to Huang Yue but did not succeed. Instead, she had implicated herself. It would probably be even more difficult for her to build a relationship with Huang Yue in the future. Then, she could only grasp the Gu family’s relationship now.
Hence, she said gently, “I feel that Cousin is just speculating. Perhaps something really happened outside. She doesn’t dare to tell her family, but we won’t laugh at her. She has to let us know the exact situation. Cousin is really too much.”
Zhong Yao seemed to be speaking up for Gu Man, but in fact, she was leading everyone’s thoughts to another side. That was, what Gu Man was doing now was to make them feel that she still had power and confidence, but she no longer had any strength and was not enough to be afraid.
When the others heard this, they more or less had some thoughts.
The expression on Gu Yuan’s face instantly darkened. “If that’s the case, she still dares to be so arrogant. I’ll definitely teach her a lesson. She turned hostile after gaining some power. How can there be such a daughter?”
“Hmph, if you ask me, I should have taught her a lesson long ago. No matter how strong she is now, she’s still a member of our Gu family. Can’t we even educate our own family? How rebellious. Look at her attitude just now. Does she respect me at all?” Old Madam Gu was still brooding over what had happened just now. Now, she was filled with anger at the mention of Gu Man’s name.
The others chimed in.
Old Madam Gu seemed to have thought of something and her eyes revealed some greed. “Besides, she’s a member of our Gu family. It’s her duty to hand over the things in her hand obediently. We’ve raised her for so long. She has to give us something to show filial piety, right?”
“That’s right, Mom. This Gu Man is really too insensible. We should teach her how to respect the old and love the young,” Qu Bei quickly said.
She was very envious of the Zhang family’s subsidiary company. Why was Gu Man so lucky to have the Zhang family’s subsidiary company? She clearly did not have the ability. She might as well hand it over as soon as possible and let it shine in their hands.
Gu Zhi’s presence had always been very low, but she knew that if she wanted to continue staying in the Gu family, she had to flatter them. Hence, she immediately said, “That’s right. She doesn’t know how to repay kindness at all. Back then, I already felt that she was extremely selfish. Now that all these big and small things are piled up, it really exposes her true colors.”
“Ha, I’ve already seen her true colors. If it weren’t for Gu Yuan insisting on bringing her back then, I wouldn’t have allowed such a scourge to appear in the Gu family.” Qu Bei glared at Gu Yuan resentfully.
At this moment, Gu Yuan was furious. He said without thinking, “I asked for your opinion on this back then. You didn’t say anything at that time, but you’re telling me this now? You were the one who suggested the idea. You said that I could gain a good reputation, so I brought her back.”
Seeing that Gu Yuan still dared to argue with her, Qu Bei became even angrier. She was about to speak when Gu Rou pulled her back.
Gu Rou did not want her family to have internal strife first. She urgently wanted Gu Yuan to attack Gu Man.
Gu Man was in such a bad mood today. It was very likely that she had been abandoned. Otherwise, with her pretentious appearance, how could she give up so easily?
Therefore, it was the most appropriate time to make a move..
