Chapter 129

129 White Lotus Was Slapped In The Face On The Spot
Ever since Zhou Ying was kidnapped by the criminals and saved by Gu Man, Zhou Ying’s personality had completely changed. In the past, she was arrogant and unreasonable and did not have many good words to say to her. Now, she liked to share things with her. She became even more intimate with her, Mrs. Zhou was also happy to see her change.
From Zhou Ying’s words, she knew that she admired Gu Man very much, so Mrs. Zhou liked her even more.
“Mm,” Gu Man replied calmly.
Seeing Gu Man like this, Mrs. Zhou wanted to laugh. This child looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.
Qu Bei was about to scold Gu Man when Mrs. Zhou asked, “Do you like the bag I gave you last time? I’ll change it if you don’t like it.”
When Gu Rou heard this, she was so frightened that her body stiffened. She did not expect Mrs. Zhou to remember this bag and say something.
The bag was still with her.
“I haven’t opened it yet.” Gu Man thought for a while and looked at Mrs. Zhou apologetically. In fact, she didn’t even remember where she had placed it.
When Gu Rou heard this, she was about to faint. Gu Man’s words did not match hers.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou looked over and said faintly, “The last time I saw Gu Rou carrying that bag, it looked pretty good. You should be able to carry it too.”
Gu Man looked at Gu Rou and saw that her face was slightly red. She knew what was going on. She had taken her things for herself.
“Gu Rou, bring me my bag later,” Gu Man said calmly.
Gu Rou lowered her head and pursed her lips. She hated Gu Man to death. She was now thinking about how Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yue would look at her.
Qu Bei saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She pretended to be relaxed and said, “It’s just a bag. Gu Man, if you like bags, you can go to your sister’s room and pick a few.”
“I only want my things.” Gu Man did not give Qu Bei any face.
Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed. She did not expect Gu Rou to do such a thing. She usually saw that Gu Rou was sensible and considerate of Gu Man. Last time, she even said that she and Gu Man shared their things.
Why did it seem like that was not the case now?
Mrs. Zhang did not like the Gu family very much. Usually, it was because Gu Rou was sensible and knew when to advance and retreat that she tacitly agreed to her being with Zhang Yue.
Mrs. Zhang looked up at Zhang Yue and saw that he was frowning. It seemed like he was unhappy too.
However, Mrs. Zhou said sternly, “Gu Rou, since Gu Man said so, do as she says. My daughter escaped death and we should have a bigger gift for Gu Man, but Gu Man is unwilling to accept it. You think it’s just a bag, but I treat it as all my gratitude. Since Gu Man wants this bag, it must be hers. I won’t allow anyone to have any improper thoughts.”
Qu Bei quickly said, “That’s right, that’s right. We were careless. We thought that Gu Man didn’t like it because she left it in the side hall, so Gu Rou opened it and used it.”
“Really? Then why did Gu Rou say that Gu Man gave it to her last time?” Mrs. Zhou pretended not to understand.
Hearing Mrs. Zhou’s words, Qu Bei frowned and looked at Gu Rou. Gu Rou looked back at her in embarrassment.
This was getting more and more awkward!
Seeing that Qu Bei was unable to say anything for a long time, Mrs. Zhang felt their embarrassment, so she said, “Although sisters are close, they still have to respect each other. I think that Gu Man will definitely look good carrying that bag. Mrs. Zhou has the most unique taste in bags.”
After Mrs. Zhang’s words, the atmosphere improved.
Mrs. Zhou had no intention of continuing the topic. She continued along Mrs. Zhang’s words and said with a smile, “Don’t flatter me. The younger generation nowadays has a different taste from us old people.”
Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled and replied, “The bags in your hand won’t fall out of trend even in a few decades. You have to help me snatch one next time.”
Qu Bei also smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll have to ask Mrs. Zhou to help me take a look as well.”
At this moment, the awkward atmosphere gradually melted.
However, Gu Rou still lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She wished she could disappear at this moment.
She grabbed the edge of her dress and did not even know that her veins were bulging. This was the most awkward moment she had ever been in since she was young. Even if Mrs. Zhou had already started to talk and laugh, as long as she heard the word “bag”, it was as if she had been slapped in the face.
It was all because of Gu Man, she had to think of a way to chase her out of the Gu Family.
