There was a lot of information in Gu Man’s words. The surroundings fell silent in an instant, and they could not believe what they had heard.
What did she mean by losing her identity as a young lady? Could it be that there was actually the trope of a real and a fake daughter?
The expression on Gu Ron’s face was also shocked by Gu Man’s words. She could not suppress the surging emotions in her heart at all, and her lips trembled slightly.
All her rationality collapsed in an instant. She stared at Gu Man in fear and raised her voice, as if she wanted to disguise something.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by losing your identity as a young lady? I’m from the Gu family to begin with. Don’t change the topic.” Even if Gu Ron tried her best to make up for it, her flustered voice had already exposed everything. The faint gazes around her landed on Gu Rou, making her unable to tolerate it.
But now, what she could do was not shout. Instead, she could calm down and try her best to turn the situation around.
Gu Rou gradually calmed down. She listened to Gu Man. “Sister, all I want to do is hope that our family can reunite. Why are you slandering me like this? Actually, you’ve always cared about this identity, right?”
Her reaction was very fast and she placed the focus of the situation on Gu Man. She could clearly feel that the gazes sized up her surroundings had decreased a lot.
A trace of mockery flashed across Gu Man’s eyes. After experiencing so much, Gu Rou had become much smarter, but in her eyes, she was just a clown.
Facts were better than arguments. No matter how kind Gu Rou was, as long as the real truth was placed there, as long as they pursued it, they would definitely discover something fishy.
“I didn’t expect Gu Man to be so scheming. She wants to divert our attention. Looks like the more people lose something, the more they care.”
“I don’t think so. Gu Rou was so flustered just now. There might really be something wrong. 1 remember that the Gu family didn’t have such achievements a few years ago. It was still because of the Huang family.”
At that time, although the Gu family did not have much status in the business circle, the Huang family was still famous for a while. There were many people who knew about it. It was just that no one had the time to pursue the decline and prosperity that allowed the Gu family to succeed until now.
Now that it was mentioned again, the twists and turns were grabbed and chewed repeatedly, so they naturally could tell that something was wrong.
There was an uproar in the banquet hall. Everyone looked at each other and saw that they were all enjoying the show.
They were naturally not from a small family to be able to be invited to the banquet of Dong Xia, the mayor’s daughter. The Gu family’s status here was neither high nor low. At this moment, they were discussing without fear.
Gu Man ignored Gu Ron’s gradually pale face and looked at Zhang Yue. “The Zhang family naturally knows the truth, right?”
Her eyes were sharp as she scanned Zhang Yue from top to bottom like an X-ray, wanting to see through him.
Zhang Yue’s heart beat violently. In the past, he would definitely refute Gu Man’s words without thinking in order to protect Gu Ron’s face. But now, for some reason, he could not say a word. When he met her gaze, he felt inexplicably guilty.
A force suddenly came from the sleeve beside him. Zhang Yue turned around and happened to meet Gu Rou’s pitiful gaze.
Tears kept welling up in Gu Rou’s eyes, making her look pitiful. This trick had always worked on Zhang Yue, but for some reason, Zhang Yue actually turned his head away. This made Gu Rou’s heart tremble for a moment, and her grip on Zhang Yue’s clothes subconsciously tightened.
“Brother Zhang, can you help me explain? They’re all talking about me,” Gu Rou said in a gentle voice. The key now was Zhang Yue. No matter how angry she was, she should wait until this matter was over, not lose her temper now. Her reputation could not be ruined at this time.
Zhang Yue glanced at Gu Rou and then at Gu Man with a conflicted expression. What was wrong with him? What was he hesitating about?
Gu Man’s eyes were filled with mockery. “If Old Master Zhang finds out that he raised a grandson who can’t tell right from wrong, he’ll probably die of anger..”
