Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I went to accompany him to a banquet.” Gu Man walked into the room without stopping. With her grandmother and Huang Jun’s impression of Xiang Yin, if she mentioned him in front of them, she would definitely be scolded. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Gu Man left very quickly.
The expression on Grandma’s face immediately changed. She looked like she expected better from someone. In the end, she heaved a sigh of relief and called out to Gu Man, “Actually, we’re waiting for you here today because the Gu family called.”
Gu Man suddenly stopped in her tracks with a disgusted expression. “What did they say to you again?”
The rare Grandma and Huang Jun fell silent. There was no sound in the huge hall. Gu Man stared straight at Grandma and Huang Jun’s faces.
But they lowered their heads at the same time, as if they were deep in thought. Looking at their expressions, Gu Man’s frown deepened. “Did they threaten you?”
Gu Man’s tone suddenly turned cold, and her expression turned very ugly. She was about to walk out of the door.
Seeing this, Grandma said, “He didn’t threaten us, but he wants you to return to the Gu family.”
When her words reached the hall, it fell silent again. After a few seconds, Gu Man sneered. “They harbor no good intentions. It’s not certain if he really wants me to go back or if he has other intentions.”
Grandma looked especially conflicted. “Manman, he should do his part as a father.”
After saying this, Grandma’s lips tightened. No matter how much she hated Gu Yuan, Gu Man was only an 18-year-old child now. Perhaps she hid all her thoughts to make them happy.
Recently, Gu Man had become more and more silent. She had been worried that it was because she did not have her parents by her side.
Therefore, when she found out about this news, she was not in a hurry to reject the Gu family. Instead, she discussed it with Huang Jun.
They had been together for so many years. Although Gu Man was also very introverted when she was young, she would definitely not be so cold. She must still have a grudge in her heart that made her so cold.
However, they only hoped that Gu Man could grow up happily and not be restrained by these things. Otherwise, they would not have agreed to the Gu family picking Gu Man up back then.
Therefore, this was also a symptom of their dilemma. They hoped that Gu Man would stay by their side, but they also hoped that she could grow up happily.
“Father? Is he worthy of this title?” Gu Man’s words were exceptionally cold, as if she hated Gu Yuan very much.
This made Grandma even more worried about her current coldness. It was all because of Gu Yuan. She thought that she should let Gu Yuan resolve this knot.
“Manman, although Gu Yuan isn’t a qualified father, but…” Halfway through her sentence, Grandma suddenly stopped because she really couldn’t remember Gu Yuan’s merits, but Gu Man’s mental state was obviously not good.
“Grandma?” Gu Man asked in confusion as she looked at the two of them sitting on the sofa. She could just reject them directly, but Huang Jun and Grandma did not seem to mean that.
Huang Jun looked at his grandmother’s conflicted expression and made up his mind. In the end, he decided to step forward and be the evil person. “Gu Man, even if the Gu family has done so many wrong things, you have the Cui family as your backer now. They won’t dare to do anything to you. Gu Yuan is your father after all. You have to return to his side. Besides, your personality has been getting colder and colder recently. Running away isn’t a solution.”
He quickly expressed his thoughts, but after saying that, he did not dare to look up at Gu Man.
They knew very well what kind of person Gu Yuan was, but if she had the Cui family as their backer, the Gu family would not be too impudent no matter what. Perhaps this could resolve the knot in Gu Man’s heart.
Gu Man crossed her arms and looked at the two of them sitting on the sofa. She wanted to laugh. She was cold by nature, but they thought that she had been hurt by Gu Yuan.
Although such a misunderstanding was not pleasant, Gu Man’s heart was still as warm as the spring breeze..
