86 Disclosure of the Disgrace of the Bigshot’s Family

Seeing that Gu Man had no intention of answering Gu Yuan, Zhuang Yan said, “I was the one who asked her to go out and relax. No matter how nervous she is about her studies, she still has to strike a balance between work and rest.”

Gu Rou was already unhappy when she saw Zhuang Yan defending Gu Man, so she said, “Teacher Zhuang, you’re thinking for Gu Man. Our Gu family is indeed very happy, but don’t let her do anything unrealistic.”

Zhuang Yan frowned and said coldly, “Miss Gu Rou, please be straightforward. Don’t let anyone guess.”

“How clear do I have to be? You asked Gu Man to get into Zhong Chu University and even brought her out to eat and meet people. She has always been arrogant. Now that she doesn’t even bother to talk to us, doesn’t she think that she can definitely get into Zhong Chu University? I’ll see if she doesn’t get in, will she not even dare to leave the house.” Qu Bei laughed secretly at the end.

“Mind your own business!” Gu Man said impatiently.

“Gu Man, why don’t you restrain yourself in front of Teacher? How will Teacher look at our Gu family’s upbringing? Although Teacher is also a woman who can’t be independent, she still values family education.”

When Gu Man heard Gu Rou’s insinuation, she looked over coldly. Just as she was about to speak, Zhuang Yan gently grabbed Gu Man’s arm, indicating for her to not speak.

Before Zhuang Yan could finish speaking, Qu Bei snorted. “So that’s how it is. A woman who doesn’t have a family is an incomplete woman, let alone one who has family values. If you ask me…”

Gu Man suddenly interrupted Qu Bei coldly, “You’ve been married twice. Your family values should have multiplied?”

Qu Bei’s face instantly turned red and pale. Gu Man humiliated her in front of everyone by mentioning that she got divorced and remarried. She was too hateful.

Old Madam Gu could no longer care that there were outsiders present. She berated, “Gu Man, do you still think of the Gu family as your home? If you don’t think of this as your home, get lost.”

Gu Man actually exposed her dirty linen in public. This was also a slap to Old Madam Gu’s face.

The Gu family was new money and it was time to accumulate a good reputation. Old Madam Gu also valued her reputation very much and looked kind and amiable in front of outsiders.

At this moment, she did not hesitate to frown and glare in front of outsiders. It was obvious that she was furious.

Zhong Yao quickly came over to pat Old Madam Gu’s back. Old Madam Gu pulled Zhong Yao’s hand and said in a long voice, “Zhong Yao, don’t learn from your second cousin. In the future, when you study at Han City First High School, you have to be down-to-earth and respect your teachers and family, understand?”

Gu Man did not care what Old Madam Gu said. She was surprised that Zhong Yao also wanted to study at Han City First High School.

Gu Yuan was so capable that he helped build a good relationship for her to enter?

Gu Yuan was calmer. At least when there were outsiders around, he always looked like he knew what was going on.

He waved his hand and called Zhong Yao over. He pointed at Zhuang Yan and said to Zhong Yao, “This is a teacher of Han City First High School. She might also be your future teacher. Hurry up and greet her.”

Zhong Yao looked at Zhuang Yan timidly and stammered, “Hello, Teacher.”

Zhuang Yan nodded gently and asked, “Did you get in through the admission test?”

Gu Yuan paused. She definitely did not get in through the admission test!

However, he did not dare to say it. Although many transfer students knew that they entered through the back door, it was not good to blatantly say that they entered through connections to a teacher from Han City First High School.

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment. “Zhong Yao’s results are not bad. She should be able to get in through the admissions test.”

“That’s good. The rules for transfer students have become stricter now. After the principal gives the nod, a member of the school board has to give their recommendation and all the members of the school board have to agree before they can enter,” Zhuang Yan said calmly.

Looking at Gu Yuan’s expression, Zhuang Yan almost wanted to roll her eyes. This Zhong Yao only got in through the back door, yet he still made it sound so dignified.

So she deliberately said these words, but it was definitely not a kind reminder.

Gu Yuan was dumbfounded. A few months ago, Gu Man could enter as long as the principal nodded. Why did the rules suddenly change?

Gu Yuan probed, “Is this a written rule?”

Zhuang Yan nodded.

Gu Yuan felt guilty for a moment. Previously, when he accompanied Old Lady Gu back to her hometown, he had patted his chest in front of Gu Zhi and his relatives to guarantee that Zhong Yao could enter Han City First High School to study. Who knew that the rules would suddenly change? Moreover, it sounded like it was very difficult to deal with.

Gu Yuan thought to himself that if he had known earlier, he would not have acted so tough. Now, he had to swallow his pride.
