Chapter 620: Dong Xia’s Disgust
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“How can there be such a person?” Dong Xia no longer had a good impression of this person she had never met.
“Sigh, actually, I’m also in the wrong. I should have persuaded Sister and not let her go astray. Unfortunately, Sister despises our Gu family and hasn’t returned home yet.” Gu Rou revealed Gu Man’s matter to make Dong Xia hate Gu Man and make everyone here hate her.
Perhaps it was because Dong Xia, the second daughter of the Cui family, and the daughter of the Huang family were all here, but more and more people surrounded them.
Because the Gu family’s matter had blown up back then, everyone present more or less knew some things.
Hearing that the people around Dong Xia were mocking Gu Man, in order to join in the conversation, they also agreed with Gu Rou.
“This Gu Man is really detestable. Then with her personality, I’m afraid the previous incident with the Gu family was also slander.”
“It’s very likely. Even if I’m from the Gu family, there’s no need for me to slander an adopted daughter.”
When Zhong Yao heard this, she saw a chance to interrupt. If she still did not interrupt, her presence would only become weaker and weaker. This time, all her previous efforts would be in vain. She would not be able to talk to the two daughters of the Cui family or Dong Xia.
Hence, just as Zhong Yao finished scolding her, she immediately continued, “We didn’t want to pester her about this matter, but that Cousin of mine kept pestering us and wanted to get some benefits from it. We’re not the kind of people to rush to give her benefits after she slandered us. However, in the end, we still lowered our heads and gave her a lot of benefits, but she was still not satisfied.”
Zhong Yao shook her head, her face full of hatred and helplessness.
And her words successfully attracted Dong Xia’s attention.
“This Gu Man is really unreasonable. 1 didn’t expect such a big thing to happen after not checking the financial news for so long. Is that Gu Man here today?”
In this generation, Dong Xia’s outstanding ability had already commemorated her status. Coupled with the fact that the various families wanted to have a good relationship with the politicians, she had a lot of say in this.
Whenever Dong Xia hated someone, this circle would subconsciously reject that person.
Everyone looked like they were watching a good show. They looked around, wanting to see this legendary figure.
“Miss Dong, my cousin didn’t come.” Zhong Yao shook her head regretfully. If Gu Man was here, she would be able to see her being reprimanded by Dong Xia.
Dong Xia was different from Huang Yue. Huang Yue had a sweet mouth and was very good at reading someone from their body language. She also knew how to coax people, but Dong Xia was different. She was a prodigy. Even if she did nothing, she could easily obtain the love of the elders.
“Why isn’t she here? 1 remember sending an invitation to the Gu family.” As soon as Dong Xia said this, Zhong Yao’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
When Gu Rou saw this scene, a trace of mockery flashed across her eyes. Gu Man’s spot had been occupied by Zhong Yao. How was she qualified to come?
Zhong Yao had performed for so long just now. It was her turn now.
“Miss Dong, we originally wanted to invite Sister over and let her learn more. Unfortunately, Sister has already moved out of the Gu family and has lost contact with us. No matter how we persuade her, she refuses to come back.” Gu Rou lowered her head, looking like a delicate little white flower.
Dong Xia’s expression turned even worse. “Not only did she slander her family, but she even pretended to be someone else. 1 don’t care about interacting with someone with such a bad character. I don’t want this person to exist at my banquet in the future.”
Gu Rou suppressed the joy in her heart and maintained the appearance of a good sister. “Miss Dong, although my sister’s personality is mischievous, she is not bad-natured.”
She seemed to be speaking up for Gu Man, but her words were too pale and were really unconvincing.
“She’s lucky to have met you two good sisters, but I have a clear personality. 1 can’t pretend to be polite to people I don’t like, so I’ll naturally cut off all unnecessary relationships.” Dong Xia’s words were heartless. Coupled with her serious face, she exuded a sharp aura..
