Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 122

122 Exposing the White Lotus
After signing the house contract, Xiang Yin drove Gu Man to the Gu Mansion.
Gu Man got out of the car. Just as she closed the car door, she looked up and saw Gu Rou and Zhang Yue standing outside the door.
“Unlucky.” Gu Man couldn’t help but curse in her heart.
Gu Rou and Zhang Yue had already let go of their hands. They looked at the departing black luxury car and then at Gu Man with a frown.
Gu Man wanted to ignore them, but Gu Rou went up to her. “Gu Man, where did you go? Who sent you back just now?”
Gu Man said calmly, “It’s none of your business.”
“I’m your sister. Of course I have to care about you. Now that a stranger is sending you home, how can I not be worried?” Gu Rou frowned, as if she was very worried.
“Are you done?” Gu Man’s expression darkened.
“Gu Man, your sister is taking care of you like this because she’s afraid that you’ll be deceived by the men outside. You actually don’t know what’s good for you.” Zhang Yue couldn’t help but get angry when he saw that Gu Man didn’t accept Gu Rou’s discipline and even looked impatient.
Moreover, he saw that when Gu Man got out of the passenger seat just now, she was in a good mood. However, when she saw them, her expression changed instantly. This gave Zhang Yue a blow.
In the past, Gu Man would be shy and at a loss when she saw him. Now, she could be said to be disgusted.
Zhang Yue couldn’t help but think, Could it be that Gu Man really got together with Young Master Bai outside and ignored him?
Gu Man snorted. “Hypocrite.”
Gu Rou suppressed the anger rising in her heart and asked softly, “Was it Young Master Bai who sent you back just now?”
“Boring.” Gu Man wanted to roll her eyes.
She always spoke about Young Master Bai. Those who didn’t know better would think that Gu Rou had taken a fancy to Young Master Bai.
“Although Young Master Bai is good-looking and is willing to spend money on you, those are just tricks. He just wants to play with you. He won’t treat you sincerely. Wake up,” Gu Rou advised earnestly.
Gu Man couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say sarcastically, “You make it sound like you know Young Master Bai better.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Rou said, “Is there a need to understand? He just thinks that you’re pure and simple. He wants to lie to you when you don’t know anything and just arrived in a big city. Isn’t it obvious?”
“Is that so? You make it sound like he’s like you,” Gu Man said with a faint smile.
The Host was fooled by Gu Rou’s superficial skills and really thought that she was a caring sister. Now, she was probably the only one who saw the true colors of Gu Rou, this white lotus [1. White Lotus refers to a girl that puts on a pure and caring demeanor on the outside but is actually malicious].
“Gu Man, what do you mean by looking at me like this? You’re really hurting my heart. I care so much about you, but in the end, I was misunderstood like this. What did I do wrong?”
Tears streamed down Gu Rou’s face as she spoke.
Seeing this, Gu Man couldn’t help but sigh. It would be a waste of Gu Rou’s talent if she didn’t act.
As Zhang Yue helped Gu Rou wipe her tears, he scolded, “Gu Man, don’t go overboard!”
“Zhang Yue, what right do you have to talk about me? Are you my fiancé?” Gu Man smiled, as if she was watching a show.
Sure enough, the word “fiancé” touched their sensitive nerves.
Zhang Yue didn’t know how to reply for a moment. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.
However, Gu Rou could not hold back her emotions anymore. Her face was instantly filled with hostility. She gritted her teeth and said, “Gu Man, you’re flirting outside while thinking about the Zhang family. I feel disgusted even if you don’t feel disgusted. Look at what you have that’s presentable. You’re not even worthy of licking shoes! You still want a fiancé? Ha, why don’t you look in the mirror? You…”
“Pfft.” Gu Man laughed, but her eyes were not smiling.
When Gu Rou heard Gu Man’s laughter, her throat suddenly felt like it was stuck. She belatedly realized that she had accidentally said what was on her mind. At this moment, she regretted it so much that she wanted to bite her tongue.
She looked at Zhang Yue again and saw that he was looking at Gu Rou in a daze, as if he did not know this shrew-like woman.
Was Gu Rou pretending to be gentle to Gu Man despite being angry?
Gu Rou was shocked and quickly covered her face to cry. She sobbed and said, “Brother Yue, I was really angry just now. Gu Man deliberately said these hurtful words to agitate me. I couldn’t control myself for a moment.”
