176 Overflowing Motherly Love
Xiang Li patted her chest and said thankfully, “Fortunately, I didn’t listen to one side of the story and thought that Gu Man was so unbearable that she even messed around with my Bai Yun.”
Bai Yun was originally standing at the side like a pillar. When he heard Xiang Li’s words, he immediately felt goosebumps all over his body. “Mom, can you not mention that matter again? It’s your fault. You believed her just because she said something.”
Xiang Li rolled her eyes at Bai Yun and said helplessly, “Then how can I not believe what Gu Rou said?”
After Mrs. Zhou’s words, Xiang Li had a better impression of Gu Man, but at the same time, her impression of Gu Rou was getting worse.
Now that she thought about it, Gu Rou was defaming her sister. What kind of sister was she?
When Mrs. Zhou heard Xiang Li and Bai Yun talking, but she did not understand, she quickly asked, “What are you talking about?”
Xiang Li said with a bitter smile, “The last time I had a meal with Mrs. Zhang, Gu Rou said that Gu Man has a strange personality and has unknown relations with my Bai Yun.”
Mrs. Zhou frowned and snorted. “I’m not afraid to say something nasty. Gu Rou has the worst intentions.”
When Xiang Li heard Mrs. Zhou’s words, she was a little surprised. “I only said one sentence. I’m not even angry yet. Why are you angry?”
“It’s not just because of what you said. Gu Rou also said bad things about Gu Man in front of me. The bag that I gave Gu Man last time didn’t fall into Gu Man’s hands, so Gu Rou carried it. Later on, I even got into a conflict with them at the Gu Family’s house because of this.” Mrs. Zhou explained the matter in detail.
Xiang Li opened her mouth in surprise and finally sighed. “I thought Gu Rou was also knowledgeable. I didn’t expect…”
“I didn’t expect it either. Maybe it’s because Gu Man is an adopted daughter. I don’t think she’s favored in the Gu family. It’s really pitiful for such a good young lady.”
Xiang Li remembered that Xiang Yin had said that Gu Man was the real daughter of the Gu family, but the Gu family had always ignored Gu Man for many years.
She did not understand why the Gu family would ignore their biological daughter while they doted on someone else’s daughter. She did not know if there was something wrong with the Gu family.
However, Xiang Li felt that it was better not to say these things. There were too many twists and turns that she could not understand.
Xiang Li pondered for a while and said, “Who knows? Every family has its own difficulties, and the Gu family is no exception.”
Bai Yun stood up at the right time and said, “The competition is almost starting. Let’s go take a seat.”
Mrs. Zhou quickly said, “Look, we’re chatting so much that we almost forgot the time. Let’s go.”
She brought Xiang Li and followed Bai Yun.
The Bai family had a special seat. It was the best seat among VIPs. They sat behind the judges, not far from the competition stage. It was the best seat to watch the competition.
Bai Ling also brought Gu Man and the others over. Xiang Li looked at Gu Man deeply and pitied her.
Bai Yun looked at his mother and she had a motherly gaze. He quickly coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “Mom, pay attention and restrain your gaze.”
Xiang Li retracted her gaze and glanced at Bai Yun without saying anything.
The Gu and Zhang families were further away. Gu Yuan looked at the Bai family in front and asked, “Is that Gu Man?”
Qu Bei looked over and said in surprise, “It’s really her. Why is she here?”
Gu Yuan’s face was full of disdain as he snorted, “Don’t tell me she wants to meet us by chance and beg us to let her return to the Gu family? However, if she really begs me, I might let her come back.”
However, Gu Zhi sneered. “Brother, you’re the only one who’s soft-hearted. You should be more ruthless to such heartless people. If it were me, I wouldn’t even care about her even if she knelt down. Is the Gu family a place she can leave as she pleases?”
Qu Bei quickly replied, “I wanted to say that too. I should teach her a lesson.”
“But how can she sit with the Bai family?” Gu Yuan asked after looking at it for a while.
When Qu Bei saw this, she immediately said disdainfully in her heart, “It’s all because she has an unclear relationship with Young Master Bai.”
However, when she saw a lady sitting beside Bai Yun, Qu Bei could not remain calm. “Mrs. Bai is also here. Could it be that Mrs. Bai has acknowledged her?”
Gu Yuan and the others looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “When the competition ends, let’s go ask. Don’t do anything embarrassing again.”
