Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! - Chapter 125

125 Meeting Ah Mai Again

On the last day of Gu Man’s examination, as soon as she left the school gate, a person of her grandfather’s age welcomed her.

It was Old Master Cui’s butler, Uncle Li.

Uncle Li bowed slightly to Gu Man and said kindly, “Miss Gu Man, I’m Uncle Li, the butler of the Cui Family. Old Master Cui wants to invite you to the Restaurant Fragrance for a meal to thank you for your help many times. Old Master Cui is waiting for you in the car. Are you free tonight?”

Gu Man looked at a black car parked by the roadside. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Old Master Cui’s familiar face. Gu Man nodded at Old Master Cui.

Gu Man thought that it would be unreasonable for an old man to personally come and pick her up. After this meal, it would be easier for them to settle things.

“Uncle Li, let’s go.” Gu Man walked towards the car.

“Okay.” Uncle Li’s footsteps seemed to be much lighter.

“Miss Gu Man, let me open the car door for you.” Uncle Li took two quick steps.

“There’s no need. I can do it myself.” Gu Man couldn’t bear to have such an old man help her pull the car door open, so she rejected him.

As soon as Gu Man got into the car and sat down, Cui Lao asked, “We suddenly came to look for you this time because we wanted to try our luck. I hope you don’t mind.”

“It’s fine,” Gu Man said calmly.

“I heard that it’s First High School’s mock exam today. How did it go?” Old Master Cui asked with concern like an elder.

“It’s fine.”

Although Gu Man respected the old man, she still appeared cold. Old Master Cui did not feel offended and continued to chat with Gu Man, but his questions were very measured. He asked mostly questions about Gu Man, so Gu Man could not keep quiet.

Therefore, they chatted happily along the way.

The car quickly arrived at Restaurant Fragrance. This was the second time Gu Man had come to this expensive restaurant.

Gu Man suddenly remembered that she had not returned the Restaurant Fragrance Gold Card that Xiang Yin had given her. She was embarrassed that she had almost forgotten.

A waiter came over to help open the car door. Gu Man got out of the car and turned around to support Old Master Cui. Old Master Cui saw Gu Man’s actions and said happily, “I’m old. It’s more useful to have a youngster than a gold cane or a silver cane by my side.”

Uncle Li smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. If other young people dared to help Old Master Cui like this, they would have been left behind long ago. Old Master Cui could not bear to see others treat him as an old man, but he liked to talk about being “old” in front of his trusted aides.

When they entered the private room, Gu Man realized that Ah Mai was also there. The little boy was sitting on the child’s chair with his head lowered, fiddling with a pile of toys on the table. He did not even look up when Gu Man and the others entered.

Beside Ah Mai was a middle-aged woman. She called out to Old Master Cui, “Old Master Cui.”

“This is Ah Mai’s babysitter,” Old Master Cui introduced her to Gu Man.

The babysitter greeted Gu Man respectfully, and Gu Man nodded at her.

Cui Lao walked to the little boy’s side and pulled his hand, wanting him to stop playing with the toys. “Look, Sister is here to see you.”

Unexpectedly, the little boy shook off Cui Lao’s hand and continued to play with the toy in his hand.

Old Master Cui, a veteran of the business world, was dejected. “Look, Ah Mai doesn’t speak, doesn’t recognize anyone, and doesn’t care about anyone. It’s as if he’s trapped in his own world. How pitiful, my Ah Mai.”

Seeing that Ah Mai was only focused on playing with the toy, the babysitter reached out and took out one of Ah Mai’s toys. The toy’s regular arrangement was instantly messed up. Ah Mai suddenly screamed and slammed the table with both hands, throwing the rest of the toys to the ground.

No matter how the babysitter coaxed him, Ah Mai did not stop screaming.

Seeing that the little boy was so hysterical, Gu Man couldn’t help but go over and hug him. Unexpectedly, Ah Mai grabbed Gu Man’s hair and pulled. Fortunately, Old Master Cui was quick and grabbed Ah Mai’s hand, but he still pulled off a few strands of hair.

“Hurry up and carry him,” Cui Lao shouted at the babysitter.

The babysitter quickly carried Ah Mai. Although Ah Mai was not struggling as much, he was still crying.

Old Master Cui grabbed the strands of hair in his hand and asked Gu Man anxiously, “Did he hurt you?”

Gu Man shook her head.

Then, to Cui Lao’s surprise, Gu Man picked up all the toys on the ground and waved them in front of Ah Mai. She shouted, “Ah Mai, watch me.”

Gu Man’s fingers flew around, imitating the way Ah Mai had placed the toy just now. Furthermore, the position of the toy was exactly the same. Ah Mai immediately quietened down and looked at it seriously.
