Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 135

135 Going to the Ghost Market Together

Gu Man got off the bus and went straight to Jingxin District.

This was the first time Gu Man came alone. She had to register herself first. After checking her ident.i.ty, two property management staff wearing welcome clothes said respectfully, “Miss Gu Man, welcome home.”

They then said to Gu Man, “I’ll help you pull your suitcase.”

Gu Man rejected them.

The night before last, she had come over at night. The car had even gone straight downstairs, so she could not see the scenery in the neighborhood clearly. Now that Gu Man entered, the neighborhood was like a park. She felt that the air was much better than at the Gu family’s house.

After walking for a while, they arrived downstairs. Another property manager helped press the elevator b.u.t.ton and welcomed Gu Man in.

After entering the house, Gu Man threw down the suitcase and ran to the balcony. Standing there, she could see the sea. Gu Man wanted to shout happily to the sea that she had a room of her own in this world.

Gu Man almost forgot that she still had to go to school. Fortunately, this place was not far from school, and the bus was very convenient.

Gu Man picked up her bag and rushed to school.

When they arrived at school, Gu Man had just sat down when Xiao Xiao leaned over and said mysteriously, “Did you look at the school’s forum last night? Your photo is on it.”

“What photo of me?” Gu Man frowned.

“The photo of you getting into a luxury car with an old man. It says that you… Anyway, it sounds so bad.” Xiao Xiao couldn’t say those indecent words.

“That I seduced an old man?” Gu Man sneered.

It was obvious that some people who disliked her wanted to slander her with the worst words in the world. Sometimes, she really could not understand why their thoughts were so dirty when they were clearly high school students.

Xiao Xiao raised her chubby hand to swear, “Gu Man, I believe you.”

Gu Man pursed her lips and nodded. As for what they said on the internet, whatever.

Xiao Xiao smiled and asked, “Don’t you care?”

“Why should I care about them? Their mouths are theirs. I can’t control what they say,” Gu Man said indifferently.

“But they also said that the last time you said that you wanted to enter Zhong Chu University, it was because you got close to a rich and powerful old man that you dared to talk tall.”

Xiao Xiao was indeed not confident that Gu Man would be able to get into Zhong Chu University. After all, it was too unrealistic as her results were so poor. It was no wonder that others were so suspicious.

“Let them talk.” Gu Man spun the pen in her hand in boredom.

Her thoughts had drifted away.

Now that she lived alone, it was much easier for her to go in and out. She could go to the ghost market to shop at any time.

Although the ghost market was a little dangerous and she had to sacrifice her sleep at night, she was anxious to earn money and find out about the sarira. She also wanted to see what other treasures could quickly help strengthen her spirituality.

Last time, she realized that she could sense the jade there. Could it be that jade could help with her spirituality?

According to this logic, top-grade jade would definitely be of great help to her. She had to try it.

“Gu Man!” Xiao Xiao pushed her from the side. “What are you thinking about? You didn’t even answer Jiang Yi’s question.”

Gu Man turned around and saw Jiang Yi leaning against a table behind her, as if he had something to say.

Xiao Xiao saw Gu Man’s expression and thought that she was thinking about the school forum. “Don’t take those words to heart.”

Gu Man ignored Xiao Xiao and looked at Jiang Yi, waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Yi then said, “After the exam, let’s go and relax. I’ll bring you guys somewhere. I guarantee you’ve never been there before.”

Xiao Xiao jeered and said, “When have you ever been nervous? You even said to relax. What a joke.”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes at Xiao Xiao and did not reply.

However, Gu Man asked calmly, “Where?”

“Ghost Market.” After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Man smugly, wanting to see her shocked gaze.

Unexpectedly, Gu Man did not have much of a reaction. She only frowned. “You’ve been there?”

“Of course I’ve been there. There’s no place in Han City that I don’t dare to enter.” Jiang Yi spread out his arms on the chair and looked proud.

“Are you familiar with the ghost market?” Gu Man asked again.

“I won’t say I’m familiar. I’ve been there about ten times.”

Jiang Yi finally realized that Gu Man was also very interested in the ghost market. He quickly asked, “You want to go?”

Gu Man curled her lips. Perhaps Jiang Yi could help her find some things. It was better for her to have someone familiar to bring her along than for her to search from scratch. Hence, she said, “I want to find some things. If you’re familiar with the way, I don’t mind going with you.”
