Only then did Gu Zhi realize what was going on. She patted Zhong Yao’s hand in relief. “You’re so considerate to remind me. Mom won’t do it again.”

As this matter was over, the atmosphere of the Gu family gradually rose, and there was no lack of criticism of Gu Man.

However, most of the discrimination on their bodies could finally be removed. No one would discuss behind the Gu family’s back whether the Gu family treated their adopted daughter well.

Gu Yuan could still use this opportunity to continue stepping into the upper echelons. After all, he had kindly taken in an adopted daughter, but in the end, he had raised a heartless one. He could also gain some sympathy.

Sunlight shone into the room through the window. Gu Man picked up her phone and looked at the time before getting up.

What caught her attention even more was the missed calls on her phone. However, they were all unfamiliar numbers, so she threw them aside.

After cleaning up, Gu Man left the room. Breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.

…..
Gu Man pulled out a chair and sat down. Seeing the others’ hesitant expressions, she sighed. “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

She really couldn’t take it anymore. Everyone’s gazes were on her, and she even had a hesitant expression.

Grandma thought for a long time and finally said after some deliberation, “Manman, of course, Grandma doesn’t object to you dating, but the most important thing now is still studying. We can put dating aside for later. Xiang Yin is indeed not bad. It’s not that we don’t support you.”

“That’s right, Manman. If you have anything to say, you can tell your family. As long as it’s the right choice, we won’t object to you.”

Looking at their worried expressions, Gu Man knew that they did not believe her explanation yesterday.

“We’re really not in a relationship.”

Gu Man put down her chopsticks and looked much more serious.

When Grandma and Huang Jun saw this, they finally did not ask any more questions. They only sat down with worried expressions.

However, at this moment, Huang Jue suddenly said, “1 feel that there’s nothing wrong with dating now. There are several young couples in our school. Moreover, Brother Xiang is a good person…”

Before he could finish his praise, Huang Jue immediately received two sharp gazes. He swallowed his saliva and immediately buried his head in the breakfast in his hand.

Grandma and Huang Jun discussed for a while last night and finally felt that Xiang Yin’s identity made them worry that he was not serious.

Instead of getting close to the four big families, Grandma and Huang Jun hoped that Gu Man could find an ordinary and honest person to date.

Although Xiang Yin did not seem to have any problems at the moment, he could disguise anything. Therefore, it was very likely that he was only pretending so well because he was in high spirits.

“Don’t listen to Huang Jue’s nonsense. He’s still young. What does he know? Besides, at their age, dating is just for fun.”

Huang Jun was afraid that Gu Man would listen, so he hurriedly tried to persuade her. From time to time, he would glare at Huang Jue.

However, Huang Jue pretended not to see it and buried his head in his bowl of food.

As long as he didn’t see it, it wasn’t a glare.

Besides, what he said was the truth. There were indeed many young couples in their school who held hands and walked on the road every day with the director chasing after them.

Moreover, Gu Man was about to turn 18. It was normal for her to fall in love.

His classmate’s brother had already found more than ten girlfriends.

“Yes, I know.”

Gu Man hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and put her chopsticks aside. She stood up and walked out of the door with her bag.

“I’m going to school.”

Seeing that Gu Man was looking for an excuse to escape quickly, Huang Jun looked at her hurried back and sighed. In the end, he did not say anything and only reminded her to be careful on the way.

After they left, Huang Jun felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He covered his head and looked at his grandmother.

“I told you not to rush things! Oh right, hurry up and tutor Huang Jue in this area. Listen to what he said. What do you mean it’s nothing? It’s obvious that he was led astray by those bad boys in school.”

Huang Jue buried his head in his work, unable to avoid being lectured. With a bitter expression, he raised his head and looked at his grandmother..
