Chapter 190



190 Chapter 190:

Of course, Gu Rou knew about the discussions at the banquet, but now she wanted to know what Zhang Yue was thinking.

However, Zhang Yue did not answer her directly.

Gu Rou was originally extremely happy today, but now she was a little depressed.

She couldn’t help but feel resentful. This Gu Man was really a jinx. Nothing good would happen every time she met her.

The next day, many videos of yesterday’s Guzheng competition were uploaded on various video websites in Han City. Gu Rou’s Guzheng playing video attracted many comments.

“Gu Rou, as expected of the Guzheng Princess. You will always be my goddess.”

“It’s like the sound of nature. I wish I could listen to it live. I should have bought the tickets.”

“Gu Rou is talented and beautiful. I think she can be considered the number one socialite in Han City.”

Early in the morning, Gu Rou lay in bed and watched the comments on the video. Her mood improved again.

But as she watched, she realized that there was another extremely popular video. The title of the video was: The Gu family’s adopted daughter is actually a beauty!

The video was of Gu Man talking at the banquet. The video should have been taken from a distance, so it was impossible to know what Gu Man was saying. However, as long as one looked at the video, they would notice Gu Man’s face.

That face was calm and beautiful, giving people a sense of distance and temptation. That mysterious aura was really hard to describe with words.

Gu Rou looked at the good comments below and couldn’t help but spit angrily, “She only has a foxy face and is used to seducing men.”

Gu Rou didn’t want to read the comments, but she saw someone say, “Gu Man is no longer the Gu family’s adopted daughter. She has already cut ties with the Gu family.”

There was a lot of discussion under that comment.

“When did this happen? I haven’t heard of it. Didn’t the Gu family rise into the aristocratic community because of this adopted daughter? It seems like it was a few months ago, right?”

“Could it be that adopted daughter is a gimmick? Now that they had squeezed into that community, they’re kicking her away?”

“They chased their adopted daughter out of the house within a few months. No matter how rich such a family is, they’re not considered a noble family.”

“It’s a pity that the Gu family doesn’t want to keep such a pretty girl. In my opinion, this girl will definitely shine in the future.”

Gu Rou lifted the blanket and ran downstairs in her pajamas. She handed her phone to Gu Yuan and said, “Dad, look, it’s too infuriating. Why did those people say that?”

Gu Yuan took the phone in confusion. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became. In the end, it was almost dripping with water. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart and quickly put down the phone.

Seeing Gu Yuan’s expression, Qu Bei quickly asked, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine. My chest just hurts from anger.” Gu Yuan pointed at his phone. “Look, why are those people online talking nonsense without knowing the truth? Will the reputation I worked so hard to build going to be ruined?”

Gu Yuan held his chest and found it difficult to even speak.

When Qu Bei saw it, she also felt furious. “Who put up such a video? Could it be that Gu Man deliberately put it up?”

Gu Yuan felt that his chest was hurting even when he spoke now. He could only try his best to lower his voice and say, “It’s not a matter of who released it now. This video has already been released and the impact has already been created. We should think about what to do now. In my opinion, we should ask Gu Man to move back in. The outside world will think that it’s just a child’s impulse.”

“What? You want to bring her back?” When Qu Bei heard this, she stood up with a whoosh and placed her phone heavily on the sofa. “I firmly disagree with her coming back. You’re shameless, but I’m not shameless. I can’t lower my head to her. In the past, I lowered my head to her dead mother. Now that I’m going to do this to her, I might as well not live anymore.”

As Qu Bei spoke, she started to cry.

Gu Yuan endured the pain in his chest and comforted her, “I know you’re suffering, but it wasn’t easy for the Gu family to get to where we are today. We can’t let it be destroyed here. Bear with it for a while. When Gu Man goes to university, we’ll send her to a distant school. Wouldn’t that be covering people’s mouths and we wouldn’t have to see Gu Man. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”

Qu Bei calmed down a little and wiped her tears. “Of course I know this is a good idea, but I just can’t take it.”

Gu Rou was unwilling as well. She said in a muffled voice, “Even if we want Gu Man to come back, I don’t think she will follow us.”
