315 Meeting Old Master Cui

315 Meeting Old Master Cui

“It’s Grandpa.”

When she heard Old Master Cui’s voice, Gu Man was surprised, but she quickly restrained her expression.

It was reasonable for the auction to invite Old Master Cui, but she did not expect him to come personally.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Man decided to go over and greet him.

!!
“Are you coming with me?”

Xiang Yin put down the teacup in his hand and nodded slightly.

The two of them came out of the private room and went to the private room next door. The private room where Old Master Cui was happened to be on their left. Gu Man knocked lightly on the door and a deep voice came from inside.

“Please come in.”

Gu Man pushed open the door and met Cui Hong’s gaze. Cui Hong said in surprise, “It’s you!”

Gu Man nodded slightly as a greeting. Her gaze landed on Old Master Cui, and she could tell that he was surprised and happy.

“I just felt that that girl’s voice was similar to Gu Man. I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

Hearing Old Master Cui’s words, Gu Man felt a warm current flow through her heart. Old Master Cui had spoken just now because he wanted to help the “girl” whose voice was similar to hers. He did not expect that this girl was her.

“Thank you, Old Master Cui. I didn’t expect Zhang Yue to be so shameless.”

“I was here all along just now. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it’s Zhang Yue’s fault. Old Master Zhang is noble and upright. Why is his grandson so worrisome?” Old Master Cui’s voice was filled with pity and confusion.

“Perhaps he believed the slander of a villain.”

It was all thanks to Gu Rou that Zhang Yue could become like this.

She had seen it clearly just now. Gu Rou had approached Zhang Yue repeatedly and said something, but every time she finished speaking, Zhang Yue’s face immediately darkened.

She could guess what Gu Rou had said.

“Hmph, I don’t think the girl beside him is easy to deal with. You should interact less with these two in the future.”

Recalling what the Gu family had done to Gu Man, Cui Lao could not help but feel angry. If not for the fact that he was worried that he would make Gu Man unhappy, the Gu family and the Zhang family would have long ceased to exist.

“Long time no see, Old Master Cui.”

Xiang Yin, who had been ignored, spoke at the right time. Only then did everyone realize that there was someone behind Gu Man.

When Old Master Cui saw him, his gaze landed on Gu Man again. His expression darkened. How could he not understand that Gu Man had come with Xiang Yin?

He snorted. “Don’t. Didn’t we just meet recently?”

Xiang Yin smiled and looked at Gu Man. For some reason, although there was no expression on his face, Gu Man could see grievance on his face.

“Old Master Cui, Xiang Yin specially accompanied me.”

Gu Man reminded him, hoping that Cui Lao could be more polite.

Gu Man could naturally hear the mockery in his tone. Although she did not know why the two of them were so at odds, as one of the four great families, it was normal for them to have a small conflict.

Old Master Cui was even more dissatisfied with Xiang Yin, but Gu Man was here after all. He still had to give her face.

“Little Man, do you want to accompany me?”

He looked at Gu Man with anticipation.

Gu Man shook her head slightly and looked at Cui Hong. “Old Master Cui you have someone to accompany you, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m just here to say hello. I’ll go back first.”

Hearing this, Old Master Cui immediately looked at Cui Hong in dissatisfaction.

Although Cui Hong, who had been inexplicably implicated, did not know why Old Master Cui’s attitude towards Gu Man was so special, he knew that if he did not persuade her to stay, she would probably have to suffer Old Master Cui’s anger.

“Miss Gu, right? I told you long ago to treat you as my sister. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable because I’m here.”

The expression on Old Master Cui’s face finally improved a lot. Cui Hong heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Man still shook her head. “Old Master Cui, it’s a little crowded with so many people. I’ll definitely accompany you next time.”

Seeing that Gu Man was unwilling, Old Master Cui did not continue to force her. He only looked at Cui Hong coldly. When he faced Gu Man, his expression immediately changed. The speed at which his expression changed made Cui Hong sigh.

A world where only he was injured was achieved.
