41 The Gu Family’s Dirty Affairs

“How deep are the waters of the Gu family?” Xiang Yin sat down on the sofa. He only knew that Gu Man was not valued in the Gu family. More precisely, there was no concern or love for her, but he did not know much about it.

Bai Yun also sat down and concluded, “Gu Yuan is too heartless, too dirty, too shameless!”

“I want to hear the whole story. You don’t have to summarize it.” Xiang Yin glanced at Bai Yun coldly.

Bai Yun muttered, “I just can’t stand it. He looks good, but I didn’t expect him to be so evil.”

!!
Seeing that Xiang Yin was about to give him another look, he immediately put his fist to his lips and pretended to cough. He sat up straight and quickly said, “Gu Man’s mother, Huang Ying, is an only child. At that time, the Huang family was running a medium-sized company in Han City. Gu Yuan was an employee in the company and was noticed by the Huang family’s head. He was married into the Huang family as a live-in son-in-law. After they got married, they only gave birth to Gu Man. After Gu Man was born, Huang Ying fell ill and passed away when Gu Man was six years old. After that, the Huang family was reported to be operating illegally and the company was seized. The Huang family moved back to their hometown in the countryside and disappeared from Han City.”

Xiang Yin immediately asked, “Was it Gu Yuan who did it?”

“Yes, before Huang Ying passed away, Gu Yuan started to plan. Some of the company’s assets were transferred to his name. When the Huang family’s company was seized, only an empty shell was left.”

“No wonder the Gu family can start so quickly. So they used these methods.”

Bai Yun pursed his lips and said with a face full of disdain, “Otherwise, if Gu Yuan started from scratch, even if he was given another ten years, he might not be able to stand firm in Han City. It’s a pity that the Huang family doesn’t have a capable descendant, so they can only swallow their anger.”

Xiang Yin sneered. “In that case, it makes sense that they don’t like Gu Man.”

“There’s another reason why the Gu family doesn’t like Gu Man!” At this point, Bai Yun paused and looked at Xiang Yin proudly.

He wanted to keep him in suspense on purpose, but when he saw Xiang Yin’s “spill the beans” expression, he quickly continued, “Gu Yuan married Qu Bei half a year after Huang Ying passed away. She’s Gu Man’s current stepmother is her aunt. Gu Yuan and Qu Bei have done many dirty things. They hooked up before Gu Man’s mother passed away.”

“Gu Rou is Gu Yuan’s biological daughter?”

“No, Gu Rou is the child of Qu Bei and her ex-husband, but Gu Yuan treats other people’s daughters thousands of times better than his own daughter. This is really the first time I’ve seen it in my life,” Bai Yun sighed.

Xiang Yin sneered. “What’s so hard to understand? Gu Man’s existence is the Gu family’s dark past. How can the Gu family tolerate her?”

“Indeed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been brought back by the Gu family as an adopted daughter. Han City even chose Gu Yuan as a representative of philanthropists because of this. Don’t you think it’s ironic?” Bai Yun almost laughed out loud.

“Shameless, ridiculous!” Xiang Yin concluded coldly.

“What are we going to do now?” Bai Yun saw that Xiang Yin was showing his emotions so obviously and thought that he was going to do something big.

“Don’t move for now. We’ll deal with him later,” Xiang Yin said in a low voice.

“Then how are we going to help that girl Gu Man?”

“There’s no need. The Gu family can’t do anything to her.” Thinking of the girl who had repeatedly made him look at her in a different light, Xiang Yin felt less depressed.

He thought for a while and instructed Bai Yun, “In school, let Bai Ling interact with her more and help her block those flies.”

Bai Yun recalled her sister’s admiration for Gu Man and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, at least no one in the school dares to look down on the Bai family now. Bai Ling is very protective of her. She treats Gu Man as family now and can’t wait to protect her.”

After a week of suspension, Gu Man was going to school again.

As soon as she walked through the school gate, someone shouted, “Miss Gu Man!”

Gu Man looked over. It was Bai Ling.

Bai Ling jogged over and held Gu Man’s hand with an intimate smile. “My brother wants me to wait for you here!”

Gu Man quickly asked, “But what’s the matter?” She was a little surprised. Why did Bai Yun want Bai Ling to wait for her?
