Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 153

153 Breakup
Before Gu Rou fell asleep, she received a call from Zhang Yue.
“Rou’er, I’m sorry. I went overboard with what I said in the car today. I hope you don’t mind.”
Zhang Yue’s voice was very serious.
“Brother Yue, it’s fine. You misunderstood because you didn’t understand the truth,” Gu Rou said happily.
As expected, Zhang Yue was still willing to believe her.
“Rou’er, you’re really a tolerant person.”
When Gu Rou heard this, she was smug, but she still said humbly, “I just hope that nothing will affect our relationship. No matter what I do, it’s all for the sake of us being together in the end.”
“You’re so nice.”
“Then what did Auntie say? I just want to wait for Auntie’s anger to subside before I treat her to a meal or go shopping with her.”
Gu Rou was still worried that Mrs. Zhang would mind. After all, in the circle of wealthy families, Mrs. Zhou’s status was still much higher than Mrs. Zhang’s. Mrs. Zhang would definitely feel bad if she was embarrassed.
“I’ll mentally prepare my mother. Don’t worry.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Yue.” Gu Rou was truly relieved.
“Um… Is Gu Man back tonight?” Zhang Yue couldn’t help but ask this question that had been lingering on his lips.
Gu Rou felt disgusted. She began to feel that Zhang Yue had said so many nice things just to ask about Gu Man.
However, she still said in a worried tone, “She’s not back yet. She has already said that she won’t return to the Gu Family. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.”
“Then where will she stay if she’s outside alone? What will she eat?”
Although Zhang Yue was already in control, Gu Rou could still hear the worry in his voice.
Gu Rou was furious. She endured it and said, “Gu Man was picked up by the Cui family today. The Cui family is a big family. They won’t do anything to her, right?”
“I hope so. Old Master Cui is a man of principles,” Zhang Yue said helplessly.
Gu Rou didn’t want to hear the word Gu Man, so she pretended to blame him and said, “Brother Yue, you told me not to keep talking about Gu Man between us, but now you keep talking about her. Look, you’re contradicting yourself.”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he was slightly shocked.
These days, he did seem to think about Gu Man often. At this moment, he was still worried about what happened after she was picked up by the Cui Family.
But he could only smile and say vaguely, “I contradicted myself. Let’s not talk about her. Goodnight.”
Seeing that Zhang Yue hung up so quickly, Gu Rou was even more sure of her guess. Zhang Yue called her because he wanted to ask about Gu Man.
She threw down the phone hatefully and slapped the doll on the bed hard. She shouted, “B*tch, b*tch.”
She only gradually stopped after she was exhausted.
Just as Zhang Yue hung up, Mrs. Zhang knocked on the door and called him downstairs. “Did you call Gu Rou?”
Zhang Yue nodded.
“What do you think of Gu Rou now?” Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Yue and asked.
“What do you mean? We’re still normal.” Zhang Yue was confused.
“That day, Mrs. Zhou said that Gu Rou was lying. This is not a small matter. It means that her character is bad. If Mrs. Zhou tells anyone, Gu Rou will not be able to survive in this circle. Even we will be embarrassed. Have you thought about it?”
Mrs. Zhang analyzed carefully. She had been in this circle for so long and understood that such things could be very serious.
Zhang Yue frowned. “I didn’t think too much about it. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Seeing Zhang Yue’s indifferent attitude, Mrs. Zhang immediately panicked. “What do you mean it’s not a big deal? You’re not in the women’s circle, so of course you don’t understand. The ladies in the circle have all kinds of flower parties and afternoon teas together, if word gets out, the entire circle will know about it. How can they accept Gu Rou in the future? Even I will be ostracized by them!”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was anxious, Zhang Yue quickly said, “Mom, don’t be anxious. Gu Rou has already explained. Everyone makes mistakes. Why are you looking down on Gu Rou just because she did something wrong? This is too cruel.”
“It’s not that I’m cruel, it’s just that this circle is like this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Gu Rou for being too materialistic. Everyone in this circle cherishes their feathers, but Gu Rou did such a thing for a bag. I can only say that the Gu family’s foundation is still shallow and they’re unpresentable.” The more Mrs. Zhang spoke, the more dissatisfied she was with Gu Rou.
“Mom, why does it sound worse and worse? Why are you talking about the Gu family again? Besides, I can’t possibly break up with Gu Rou because of this, right?”
“Why can’t you break up?”
“Mom!” Zhang Yue stood up in shock.
