Chapter 181
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Gu Rou pondered for a while. “It’s better if I go alone. I’m afraid that Gu Man will think too much if you go and say that I’m deliberately provoking her with you. You know, she still minds our relationship.”
But actually, it was mainly because Bai Yun was there. Gu Rou wanted to see if she could get close to him. If Zhang Yue was beside her, it would not be so convenient.
Zhang Yue said, “It’s fine. If Gu Man is rude, I can help you.”
Zhang Yue didn’t know why. He knew that Gu Man always gave him a bad face, but he just wanted to get closer to her.
Gu Rou was a little impatient, but she did not show it on her face. She said softly, “Brother Yue, I know you care about me, but please believe that I can deal with her. Gu Man is my sister and this is a public place. How bad can she be? Don’t add fuel to the fire, okay?”
Seeing Gu Rou say this, Zhang Yue could only give up. Hence, he instructed in a low voice, “Alright, then don’t argue with her. Don’t affect your image.”
Gu Rou smiled sweetly and said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll go over then.”
With that, Gu Rou walked through the crowd and forced her way to Gu Man.
On Gu Man’s side, Zhou Ying was complaining about her difficulties in learning the piano. “My fingers are too short. It’s tedious to play across the keys. Every time I finish practicing, I realize that my fingers can’t touch each other. They’re like a chicken claw.”
Zhou Ying stretched out her chubby finger and showed it to Gu Man and the others. Everyone immediately laughed.
“Actually, there’s a technique to learning the piano. With the technique, it doesn’t matter if your fingers aren’t long enough.”
A voice sounded. Everyone quickly turned around and saw Gu Rou.
Zhou Ying was originally one of Gu Rou’s fans, but after she found out that she had used the bag her mother had given Gu Man on her own accord, she did not have a good impression of her anymore. However, she did not hate her, so she nodded slightly. “Oh, I see.”
However, she did not intend to ask what technique it was.
Seeing that Zhou Ying did not ask, Gu Rou could not force her.
Apart from Gu Man, there was also Bai Yun, who had just given out the award. The others did not know Gu Rou, so when Gu Man did not speak, no one knew what to say. Bai Yun also looked like it was none of his business.
Even the usually talkative Bai Ling chose to shut up. She blinked and looked at everyone. Seeing that no one showed any signs of speaking, she chose to focus on eating the pastries.
The situation was a little awkward. In the end, Gu Rou ignored the awkwardness and said with a smile, “Gu Man, since when did you have so many good friends? Why don’t you introduce them to me?”
“There’s no need.”
Gu Rou choked on Gu Man’s cold tone and almost couldn’t maintain the smile on her face. She held it in for a while before she could say something nasty.
“Gu Man, are you still angry with me? I’ve already said I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?”
Gu Man felt amused when she heard Gu Rou’s tone as if she was coaxing a child. She said angrily, “You’re not my sister. Isn’t it too much to say this?”
“Look, you’re saying things out of anger now. We’ve always been sisters.”
Gu Man said coldly, “Gu Rou, if you continue, I’ll fall out with you.”
Bai Yun was afraid that the two of them would quarrel on the spot, so she quickly said, “Miss Gu Rou, I don’t think you need to let Gu Man accept your apology now, right? If they’re really sisters, they won’t force others to accept their apology, right? If Miss Gu Rou doesn’t have anything else to say, please move.”
When Gu Rou saw that Bai Yun was speaking up for Gu Man and even asked her to leave quickly, she was embarrassed and angry. Her face flushed red and she bit her lip, her eyes red.
She looked at Bai Yun aggrievedly, but Bai Yun did not even look at her. Gu Rou felt even more aggrieved. “Young Master Bai, I... What did I do wrong? Do you have to hate me so much?”
When Bai Yun heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes. He was just talking about something. It wasn’t to the extent of hating her, okay?
