Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 172

172 Not A Good Thing
When Gu Man saw her uncle asking her where she would be staying in the future, she hesitated to tell him about leaving the Gu family.
They would have to worry again if she told her uncle and grandma. If she did not tell them, they would still find out sooner or later.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Man decided to make it clear. “Uncle, I’ll stay here with you guys and not return to the Gu family.”
When Huang Jun heard this, he asked, “You want to never return to the Gu Family?”
“Yes.”
Huang Jun frowned and asked anxiously, “Did the Gu family mistreat you?”
Gu Man thought about it. In the Gu family, she had never lacked food, clothing, and expenses. However, they did not care about anything else. It did not seem like they were being harsh. However, Gu Man left the Gu family purely because she could not stand their faces. Out of sight, out of mind,
So she replied, “No, I just don’t like them.”
Seeing that Gu Man only spoke after a long time, Huang Jun thought that she must be afraid that he would worry because it was difficult to speak about it. Hence, he was even more certain that the Gu family treated Gu Man badly.
He said hatefully, “I knew those people from the Gu Family were not good people. Gu Yuan, this heartless person, not only destroyed the Huang Family, but he also doesn’t even like his own daughter and dotes on someone else’s daughter. It’s really unfair that such a person didn’t receive retribution.”
Hearing Huang Jun’s scolding, Gu Man did not feel much. “Uncle, I can still live well without the Gu family. Don’t mention those unrelated people.”
“Manman, I feel aggrieved for you. That’s clearly your home, but your place was taken by a mistress’s child. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be homeless now. Besides, you still have to worry about us. Uncle is really useless.”
Only then did Huang Jun feel that he was useless. The reason why he let Gu Man return to the Gu Family previously was because he did not have much ability and could not give Gu Man a lavish life. Otherwise, he would not be willing to let Gu Man go back. At that time, he thought that Gu Yuan would treat Gu Man well on account that she was his biological daughter, but now it seemed that he had overestimated him.
“Uncle, what are you talking about? You were the one that brought me up.” Gu Man was worried that Huang Jun would continue to be sad, so she quickly changed the topic. “Uncle, what else do you need to add to your room?”
Although Huang Jun was furious, he knew that Gu Man would feel uncomfortable if he said too much, so he forced a smile. “I don’t think I need anything anymore. We’ll see what I need in the future then we can add it.”
“Let’s go see Grandma. She should be tired too. Let’s get her to rest for a while.” Gu Man suggested.
Gu Man went to her grandmother’s room and saw her laying out the pillowcase that she had brought from her hometown. Gu Man quickly said, “Grandma, rest first.”
The old lady said happily, “I was just about to lie down. My old bones can’t take it anymore. I haven’t taken a ride in a long time. I’ve only been sitting in the car for more than an hour and I’m already dizzy.”
“Auntie, rest for a while. Manman and I will go to the hall.”
Huang Jun and Gu Man walked into the room and closed the door gently.
Huang Jue also ran out of the hall and said happily to Gu Man, “Cousin, I like my room so much. I can even see the sea.”
“As long as you like it.” Gu Man nodded.
At this moment, Gu Man’s phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was Bai Ling.
As soon as Gu Man picked up the call, Bai Ling’s clear voice sounded. “Miss Gu Man, are you free this afternoon?”
“I’m not free.” Gu Man planned to bring Huang Jue and her uncle to familiarize themselves with the surroundings in the afternoon.
“Miss Gu Man, I want you to accompany me to watch a competition, okay?” Bai Ling begged coquettishly.
“Unfortunately, I have to accompany my uncle and the others this afternoon.”
“Okay then. I thought it would be great if you went.”
Hearing Bai Ling’s disappointed tone, Gu Man felt a little apologetic, but when she thought about how her uncle and the others had just arrived, how could she abandon them? So she made up her mind and said, “Sorry.”
As soon as Gu Man hung up, Huang Jun quickly asked, “Was it your friend that asked you to go out? Then go out. We’ll rest at home this afternoon. We brought some food from our hometown. I’ll cook something myself later.”
“That’s right, Cousin. Don’t worry and go out. Grandma will be energetic tomorrow. We’ll go out again,” Huang Jue suggested.
