Gu Man didn't care. Her words tore apart Gu Rou's mask. "This is what you're thinking. You usually say that you care about me, but you actually hate me to death."
Gu Rou quickly explained, "I didn't. Gu Man, you deliberately set a trap for me."
Gu Man sneered. "Ha, really? Then you're really stupid."
Gu Man turned to Zhang Yue with a serious expression and a cold voice. "Zhang Yue, I've never taken the so-called verbal engagement between our elders seriously. If you still think that there's such a thing, then I'll officially cancel it now. If my words don't count, then I'll call for my grandmother to talk to your parents. I hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone will be uncomfortable."
Gu Man seemed to have not said such a long sentence in a long time. Although she did not take this engagement seriously, she had never officially suggested canceling it. Now that she said it, she felt relieved, as if she had resolved something that had occasionally bothered her for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue said coldly, "Do you think you can cancel it just like that? Do you think the words of the older generation are casual?"
Gu Man was at a loss. Why did it sound like Zhang Yue was unwilling to cancel this verbal engagement?
Gu Rou was even more stunned. Didn't Zhang Yue usually hate Gu Man's pestering? He had clearly told her before that the engagement was just something Old Master Zhang said. Now that Old Master Zhang had passed away, this was invalid.
Why was it different now?
Gu Rou reached out to hold Zhang Yue's hand worriedly. "Brother Yue, are you still angry at me for saying those things about Gu Man?"
Zhang Yue did not answer.
Actually, he had said those words out of anger. How dare Gu Man say that she had never taken it seriously? How dare she cancel it just like that?
Could it be that now that she had hooked up with the Bai family, she wanted to kick him away?
Gu Man originally belonged to him. It was not her turn to say that she did not want him. It was not her turn to despise him!
Gu Rou called out to Zhang Yue again, "Brother Yue..."
Looking at the two of them pushing and pulling each other, Gu Man sneered, "I've already conveyed my words clearly. Don't use this engagement to hold me back. Otherwise, I won't be polite."
With that, Gu Man avoided the two of them and entered the door.
Gu Rou still wanted to hold Zhang Yue's hand, but Zhang Yue pushed her away. Gu Rou said softly in a sobbing voice, "Brother Yue, don't ruin our relationship because of Gu Man's instigation."
Zhang Yue's face was serious, and he no longer had the gentleness of the past. "She didn't say anything to provoke you. I want to ask you, when did you learn to say such unpleasant things? I thought you were always knowledgeable, but now it seems that you don't really care about Gu Man. You disappoint me."
"I was in a hurry and blurted it out. You've known me for so long, when have you ever seen me say such things? It's all because Gu Man has been pestering me. I'm only like this because I'm crazy. Besides, I'm like this because of you." Gu Rou was about to cry again.
"Alright, my mind is in a mess now. I'll go back first," Zhang Yue said as he pushed Gu Rou's hand away and walked quickly to the car.
Even after the car sped away, Gu Rou was still standing there in a daze. She was ignored by Zhang Yue again.
Gu Rou thought hatefully that it was all because of Gu Man that they were like this. One day, she would make Gu Man crawl on the ground and beg her.
Gu Rou clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.
Gu Man returned to her room and looked at the property contract that belonged to her. Although it would take some time before she could get the property certificate, she now had a house. In the future, even if she was chased out of the Gu family, she would not have to worry about not having a place to go.
Most importantly, Grandma could also come for treatment and rest. In the future, Cousin could also come to study for high school.
Today was really a fruitful day.
Moreover, she had officially expressed her attitude to Zhang Yue just now. Just thinking about Zhang Yue's identity as his fiancée made her feel uncomfortable.
Her words just now should have made her stand clear. If he dared to mention it again in the future, she did not mind exposing this matter. At that time, Zhang Yue clearly had a fiancée, but he went to seduce her sister. Let's see where the Zhang family would put their face.
If the Zhang family wanted face, they would not mention this again.
And this was what she wanted. She did not want to have anything to do with the Zhang family.
