Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 85

85 Bigshot Relying On Her Relations.h.i.+p

Zhuang Yan sent Gu Man to the Gu residence.

Gu Man asked, “Teacher, do you want to come sit for a while in my house?”

Zhuang Yan thought for a moment. “It’s not bothersome?”

In Zhuang Yan’s impression, the Gu family’s att.i.tude towards Gu Man was not considered friendly. One could imagine Gu Man’s family status, but Zhuang Yan did want to see Gu Man’s true situation in the Gu family.

Gu Man smiled. “If it’s bothersome, I wouldn’t have invited Teacher in.”

Zhuang Yan did not stand on ceremony. “Then I’ll go in and take a look.”

Gu Man led Zhuang Yan through the villa’s garden. Zhuang Yan couldn’t help but sigh. “What a beautiful villa. Looks like your family is quite rich.”

“Yes, the Gu family is considered rich, but that’s all,” Gu Man said coldly.

Hearing Gu Man mention the Gu Family, Zhuang Yan knew that she really did not seem to have much feelings for the Gu Family.

“At least it guarantees that you can have food, clothes, and means to travel now. Bear with it for now.” Zhuang Yan was actually worried that Gu Man would fall out with them. But after leaving the Gu family, where could a little girl go alone?

“Teacher, I understand.” Gu Man could hear Zhuang Yan’s worry and could not help but nod at him.

As soon as they arrived outside the hall, they heard that it was very lively inside. When they talked about some things, everyone laughed.

An old voice asked loudly, “Where do you think that b*tch Gu Man went early on the weekend? She’s still nowhere to be seen. Did she go out to cause trouble again?”

Someone said sarcastically, “She’s known a teacher from Zhong Chu University. How can she still be in the mood to stay at home? She’s already gone to cozy up to him.”

A rough male voice added, “How embarra.s.sing!”

Zhuang Yan looked at Gu Man’s expression. She did not seem angry or ashamed at all. She did not even look sad.

Zhuang Yan’s heart ached for Gu Man. How many years had it been since she was treated like that to be so indifferent?

Gu Man turned to look at Zhuang Yan. “Teacher, there’s a nest of snakes and rats inside. Do you still want to go in?”

Seeing that Gu Man was still in the mood to tease her, Zhuang Yan said, “Then I’ll experience it today.”

When Gu Man and Zhuang Yan walked in, everyone in the room fell silent and looked at the door.

Gu Yuan was about to reprimand her when he saw that there was someone behind Gu Man. Seeing that this person had a cold temperament and was not angry, Gu Yuan knew that she was not a pushover.

Hence, the scolding in his mouth instantly turned into an interrogation. He even lowered his voice by a few decibels. “Gu Man, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce her to everyone?”

Before Gu Man could speak, Zhuang Yan introduced herself. “I’m a teacher from Han City First High.”

Gu Yuan immediately smiled and said, “Gu Man, why didn’t you tell us that you invited Teacher over so that we could be prepared?”

Zhuang Yan said, “There’s no need. I’m just sending Gu Man back. I’ll leave after a while.”

“Teacher Zhuang, have you eaten? Shall I ask the servant to cook for you?” Gu Rou walked over and asked with feigned concern.

“There’s no need.”

Zhuang Yan’s words reminded Gu Rou of last night when she apologized and said that she would help pay for the meal. Zhuang Yan also said these words, but at that time, she was full of disdain. Now, she was just cold.

At this moment, Qu Bei asked, “So it was this teacher who instigated Gu Man to enroll in Zhong Chu University?”

Gu Rou quickly said, “Mom, don’t use the word instigation. It’s so unpleasant. It was Teacher Zhuang who helped pull the strings. Teacher Zhuang called the teacher of Chu University her senior. He can definitely help Gu Man fulfill her dream.”

“Oh, so they’re related. I was wondering why Gu Man dared to covet Zhong Chu University with her results.” Qu Bei looked like she understood.

Listening to Gu Rou and Qu Bei’s sarcastic conversation, Gu Man’s cold face darkened.

“You’d better watch your words,” Gu Man said coldly.

“Gu Man, don’t think that we can’t control you just because you have a teacher protecting you. You didn’t go to school on the weekends and didn’t stay at home to revise. Where did you go?” Gu Yuan’s shouting was stuck in his throat because Zhuang Yan was present. He only spoke slightly more seriously.

If someone who did not know the truth watched, they would think that Gu Yuan was a strict father.
