Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 182

182 Sister Man’s Compromise
Bai Yun said with a serious expression, “Miss Gu Rou, I’m just telling the truth. If I go overboard, please understand. It is a festive day for you today. I don’t mean to ruin your mood.”
“This is not overboard. I understand. I came over to thank you. Thank you for cheering for me on the stage just now. I will work hard to get good results in the national finals.” Gu Rou looked at Bai Yun with bright eyes.
Bai Yun frowned. There was no need to specially come over to thank him. He had just said some official words.
“Miss Gu Rou, you’re welcome. As a sponsor, I just hope that the participants we sponsor can achieve good results and achieve a win-win situation.”
Hearing Bai Yun’s very official words, Gu Rou felt a little upset. She felt that ordinary men would not be so cold to her, so she continued, “Young Master Bai, to be honest, your words inspire me.”
“It’s my honor. I also encouraged the third and second runners-up like this. I hope they will be equally encouraged.”
Hearing Bai Yun’s words, Gu Rou said unnaturally, “I see. Young Master Bai is really kind.”
Bai Yun said with a laugh, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Seeing that Gu Rou had not left and no one else wanted to speak, Bai Yun coughed lightly. “Why are you looking for Gu Man?”
“It’s not anything important. I just want my sister to be sincerely happy for me when I win the championship.” Towards the end, Gu Rou’s tone was aggrieved, as if this was a small wish of hers, but Gu Man was unwilling to help her complete it.
Bai Ling swallowed a mouthful of pastries and said to Gu Rou, “Miss Gu Man said just now that you play the Guzheng very well. She likes it very much. So, I’m telling you now. There’s no need for Miss Gu Man to repeat herself, right? If too many good things are said, it’ll sound hypocritical.”
At first glance, you would not think there was anything wrong with these words, but after thinking about it carefully, you would feel that there was a problem. It was as if she was saying that Gu Rou was pestering Gu Man because she wanted to hear her say something good.
Gu Man looked at Bai Ling and smiled in her heart. Her mouth was really vicious.
But she liked it.
“That’s not what I meant. I just want my sister to say something encouraging to me in person. I’ll be satisfied.”
Gu Rou blushed again and said with a sobbing tone. Ordinary people would feel pity for her, but the few people present were not ordinary people.
“Gu Rou, all the best,” Gu Man said suddenly. Then, she looked at Gu Rou and said, “I’ve said it, you can leave.”
Everyone was slightly stunned. This was possible?
Wasn’t this too perfunctory? She unwillingly said it just to chase her away. It was better not to say anything.
Gu Rou did not expect Gu Man to be like this, and she did not know what to say.
Bai Yun was already suppressing his laughter. This Gu Man looked serious but was actually so crafty. When he got back, he would tell Xiang Yin about it and ask for credit.
“My cousin has already said words of encouragement to you. Aren’t you satisfied?” Huang Jue wanted to be invisible, but Gu Rou was stuck here like a piece of gum.
Moreover, he had long known about the Gu family’s character from his father. He had always felt indignant for Gu Man, so his words were inevitably harsh.
Gu Rou’s expression was ugly. She looked at Huang Jue and remembered that he had just called Gu Man cousin, so she asked, “You are?”
“Someone from the Huang Family,” Huang Jue said calmly.
The Huang family? Gu Rou’s eyes flashed. They should be from Gu Man’s mother’s family.
Gu Rou pondered for a moment and lowered her head. She said in a sobbing tone, “Then I won’t disturb you guys anymore.”
Seeing that no one was going to say anything, Bai Yun said helplessly, “Okay.”
Gu Rou covered her face and left, making it seem like she had suffered a lot here.
Bai Yun thought about it and felt that Gu Rou was indeed wronged, but she had asked for it.
He heaved a sigh of relief. He was tired from being the person who had to take care of the atmosphere just now.
Hence, he scolded Gu Man and the others with a smile, “You guys usually can’t stop talking, right? Why were you mute just now? Why didn’t you liven up the atmosphere and let me face it alone? You’re too disloyal.”
Bai Ling pouted and said, “I spoke.”
“Forget about that. The more you say, the messier it gets,” Bai Yun glanced at Bai Ling and said angrily.
