Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 268 Grounded

268 Grounded
With Cui Xuan by Cui Ya’s side, she hoped to correct Cui Ya’s distorted worldview.
Cui Xuan nodded and jogged to Cui Ya’s side, but Cui Ya did not even look at her. She ran to Gu Man’s side and pushed her hard before jogging out of the room.
Old Master Cui hammered his walking stick two or three times in anger. Seeing that he was about to get angry again, Gu Man quickly comforted him. “Old Master Cui, children need to be educated step by step. It can’t be extreme.”
“I know.”
All of Old Master Cui’s helplessness turned into a sigh. Seeing this, Gu Man stopped talking. After Jia Ling and her two daughters left, Old Master Cui slowly spoke.
“They’re so young, but they can already say such vicious words. How can my heart not ache? It’s my failure in educating them. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have left the two children for Jia Ling to educate.”
Gu Man did not refute Old Master Cui’s words. What he said did make sense. If not for Jia Ling, these two girls should be healthy and positive, not talking about third parties now. It was not like they were evaluating things casually before they knew the truth.
“They’re still young. There’s still a chance to change.”
“I hope so.”
Only then did Old Master Cui look at Ah Mai. Ah Mai was sitting on the bed and playing with the Cube in his hand. He did not react much to what had just happened and turned a deaf ear.
It was not until he saw his grandson, Ah Mai, that the expression on Old Master Cui’s face softened a little. “Ah Mai, let’s go down and play, okay?”
Ah Mai did not respond to Old Master Cui like before. Instead, she immersed herself in her own world. There was sadness in Old Master Cui’s eyes, but he quickly adjusted.
He should have gotten used to it long ago.
When Gu Man walked in front of Ah Mai, Ah Mai reacted slightly. He looked up at Gu Man and obediently handed over the Cube in his hand.
“Looks like Ah Mai is still close with Gu Man.”
The anger on Old Master Cui’s face was no longer there. Instead, there was a smile.
Gu Man was a little embarrassed by Old Master Cui’s words and did not respond to him. She lowered her head and took the Rubik’s Cube from Ah Mai’s hand, playing with it.
Seeing his increasingly bright eyes, Gu Man handed over the Rubik’s Cube in her hand and rubbed his head. “Go down and play, okay?”
Only then did Ah Mai react slightly and nod. Old Master Cui was even happier.
When she arrived at the courtyard, Gu Man saw Xiang Yin sitting in front of Huang Jue. There was an exam paper in front of the two of them.
The moment Xiang Yin saw Gu Man, he stood up. Huang Jue, who was beside him, was still tugging at his sleeve reluctantly.
“Your sister is back.”
Hearing Gu Man’s name, Huang Jue was even more excited than Xiang Yin. He stood up and stood in front of Gu Man.
“Sister, this brother is amazing. I understand what I don’t know after he explained them to me.”
As soon as Huang Jue arrived in front of Gu Man, he could not help but praise Xiang Yin. When Xiang Yin, who was late, heard the praise, he touched the tip of his nose.
Gu Man smiled at Xiang Yin and patted Huang Jue’s head gently. “He’s the top scorer of the college entrance examination.”
Huang Jue’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He ran up to Xiang Yin and looked at him expectantly. “Brother, can I ask you questions I don’t know in the future?”
“Of course. I’m upstairs. Contact me anytime for questions you don’t know. I’ll tutor you.”
Xiang Yin agreed readily to Huang Jue’s plea. Now, he had a chance to look for Gu Man again. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel happier and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
“Okay, then Brother, you’re not allowed to find me annoying in the future.”
The smile on Huang Jue’s face was especially bright. His goal after coming to the big city was to go to the best high school, Han City First High School, but he had always been worried that he would not be able to keep up with his studies. With Xiang Yin around, he was not afraid.
He was determined to get into Han City First High School.
“Prepare well during this period of time. Han City First High School will be enrolling in advance soon. You can ask me or him questions you don’t know.”
Gu Man pointed in Xiang Yin’s direction.
Old Master Cui had been listening to the three of them talk silently. He did not expect Xiang Yin to be the top scorer of the college entrance examination and be worthy of their Gu Man. Tsk, he was still a little lacking.
With this thought in mind, Old Master Cui squeezed between the two of them and smiled at Gu Man. “Gu Man, stay at the Cui Family for dinner tonight.”
