Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! - Chapter 224

224 Meeting Gu Rou

The essence of humility was to let people know that there was always someone better. However, the juniors nowadays only used humility to disguise themselves and create a good image.

In his opinion, they were inferior to Gu Man. At least she could be frank and admit that she was outstanding.

“Are you interested in joining a Calligraphy Association?”

The old man had the thought of poaching talent. He knew an old friend from the Calligraphy Association. If Gu Man had such thoughts, she would definitely be nurtured vigorously and it was even possible for her to become the most outstanding calligrapher of the new generation.

!!
At the thought of this, the old man became even more excited. It would be very impressive to say that the most outstanding calligrapher of this generation was recommended by him.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have such thoughts for the time being.”

The old man’s face was filled with obvious regret. He shook his head again and again. Seeing Gu Man’s serious expression, he could only turn around and help her get the medicine.

He was not the kind of person to force others. If Gu Man was unwilling, he would not force her. It was just a pity, but he could mention it in front of his old friend. After all, such a talent should not be missed.

At the thought of this, a smile appeared on the old man’s face again, and his footsteps became much lighter.

“Gu Man, why are you here?”

A surprised voice came from outside the door. Gu Man looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw Gu Rou, she raised her eyebrows. Why did she meet her here?

Why was she at a Chinese medicine shop instead of staying in the hospital?

Gu Rou’s gaze turned from Gu Man to the old man at the side. Seeing that the old man was grabbing medicine, she had an answer.

“Sister, are you here to get medicine for Dad?” Gu Rou walked to Gu Man’s side and wanted to hold her hand intimately, but she was flung away.

Gu Rou looked at her hand that got flung away and smiled. Soon, she looked hurt again.

“Sister, I know you hate me, but Dad is sick now. What he wants to see the most is the scene of us sisters getting along. Even if you have any grudges, I’ll accept it if you vent them on me after Dad recovers. Sister, aren’t you willing to pretend to be harmonious on the surface with me?”

Gu Man only looked at her indifferently without any reaction. Gu Rou felt like she had punched cotton. However, her voice was not soft just now, and the surrounding people heard her clearly.

There were pointed fingers. Some people even did not restrain themselves in front of Gu Man.

“This little girl looks decent. How could she do such an unfilial thing? She clearly knows that her father is sick, but she’s still like this.”

“That’s right. If I were her father, I wouldn’t acknowledge this daughter.”

“Everyone, don’t say that. Sister just doesn’t like me very much, but she still has Dad in her heart. Look, isn’t she just here to get medicine for Dad?”

Gu Rou looked at Gu Man expectantly, but she sneered in her heart.

Gu Man would definitely not get medicine for Gu Yuan.

“Gu Rou, if you’re really free, go find something to do. Don’t hang around in front of me all day.”

Gu Rou pretended not to hear the impatience in Gu Man’s words. She even leaned forward to hold Gu Man’s hand, but she did not care. There was still a faint smile on her face.

“Sister, don’t be angry with me. You’ve already gotten the medicine for Dad. You definitely don’t care anymore, right? We’ll send the medicine to Dad later. He’ll definitely be happy.”

With that, Gu Rou did not give Gu Man any chance to explain. She turned to look at the old man who was grabbing the medicine.

“Grandpa, can you hurry? My father will be very happy when he finds out. Sister even specially grabbed some calming medicine for him.”

She looked up with her fair face and looked harmless, but she calmly pointed out Gu Yuan’s illness. Not only would no one think that she did it on purpose, but she also had a reason to make Gu Man seem unfilial.

After all, her father was so angry that he was hospitalized, but Gu Man refused to get medicine for him.

The old man stopped what he was doing and turned his head away in confusion. “This prescription isn’t a calming medicine. It’s used to nourish the qi and revive the blood. Are you afraid that the patient isn’t angry enough?”

The old man looked a little angry and disappointed. It was said that a person’s words were like them. Although this young lady’s words were beautiful, she did not do anything beautiful.

Gu Rou leaned against the counter and her gaze landed on Gu Man. Because of her joy, she narrowed her eyes and smiled at Gu Man.
