Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!

289 Exposed

“Then why did the officer say the necklace wasn’t worth a million dollars?”

Gu Yuan’s voice was filled with anger. He punched the table hard, scaring Gu Rou so much that she took a few steps back.

Qu Bei hugged Gu Rou with heartache. “Why are you so loud? If you had the ability, we wouldn’t have been slandered like this. Moreover, are you blaming us for this? It’s clearly Gu Man’s fault.”

“You’re still protecting her. Look at the good daughter you raised. Do you know that now I have to walk with my head lowered in front of others?!”

In the end, Gu Yuan’s words were filled with anger. He suddenly stood up aggressively, making Qu Bei not dare to say anything else.

“Gu Yuan, the most important thing now is to resolve this matter.” Old Madam Gu frowned and closed her eyes, her face filled with impatience. “I told you not to bring her back long ago. You brought back a troublemaker, right?”

“That’s right. This person is so ungrateful. She’ll probably be punished by the heavens in the future.” Gu Zhi fanned the flames.

Although she was happy to watch their drama, the Gu Family could not fall.

“Gu Yuan, there’s nothing we can do about being angry now. Why don’t we hurry up and settle the engagement between Rou’er and Zhang Yue? This way, even if others look down on us, at least the Zhang family will help us.”

Gu Yuan’s eyes darted around and he thought for a moment. This was indeed the only way.

“The Zhang Family might not like us now.” Gu Yuan still had some concerns.

“You’re not confident in Rou’er. Hasn’t Rou’er been in contact with Zhang Yue recently? As long as Zhang Yue agrees, won’t everything else be easy?” Qu Bei said confidently.

“That’s the only way. Rou’er, call Zhang Yue first and listen to what he has to say,” Gu Yuan said.

Gu Rou knew that this matter had started because of her. If it did not end it well, Gu Yuan would probably not treat her well in the future.

Furthermore, for her own sake, she would make this call sooner or later.

Gu Man! Just you wait!

The phone rang. In the quiet living room, Gu Yuan and the rest looked a little nervous, but the call was quickly picked up.

“Rou’er, what’s wrong?”

Gu Rou heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Zhang Yue’s voice. He did not seem to be affected by what happened in the afternoon.

At that time, she had said it vaguely. Fortunately, Li Hua did not tell Zhang Yue that a million yuan necklace was missing. She just did not know how he found out that the necklace Zhang Yue had given her was not a million yuan necklace.

In Gu Rou’s heart, she had long treated Li Hua and Gu Man as accomplices. Li Hua was stubborn. No matter what kind of gifts she gave or she said, he would return them. He even looked at her with disgust.

When had Gu Rou ever suffered such humiliation? Others had always been looking at her in admiration.

After this matter was resolved, she would make both of them pay the price.

“Brother Zhang, it’s actually nothing.”

Gu Rou had planned to play hard to get for a while, but she could not help but speak in this scene. Under everyone’s gazes, she probed.

“Brother Zhang, we’ve already been together for so long. When are we going to confirm our relationship? My friends are all asking me. They said that you definitely don’t love me, so you didn’t confirm it. But how is that possible? Brother Zhang clearly likes me the most. Don’t you think so, Brother Zhang?”

Her deliberately pinched voice was a little playful. If one listened carefully, they could hear Gu Rou’s nervousness.

If it was before, she would definitely be confident, but for some reason, she was a little uneasy now. She felt that things would not develop as she had imagined.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. Not to mention Gu Rou, everyone in the Gu family became nervous.

The Zhang Family was their last trump card. If the Zhang Family did not stand on their side, the stain on the Gu Family would not be washed away.

“Rou’er, don’t listen to them. How can I not like you?”

Zhang Yue’s tone was not as emotional as before. It was even a little calm. Gu Rou’s heart turned cold when she heard this voice.

What was wrong with Zhang Yue? Why didn’t he reply directly?
