329 Slander

Gu Man’s kind reminder sounded different to Elder Zhou.

“Are you cursing me? Since you know my identity, you should know that I can crush you with a flick of my finger. Don’t think that you don’t know what’s good for you just because you have Old Master Cui protecting you. There’s always someone better!”

“Is that so?” Gu Man raised her eyebrows slightly. The smile on her lips was especially mocking. “There’s always someone better. I’ll return this sentence to you.”

Due to Gu Man’s mockery, although Old Master Cui and Xiang Yin were angry, they did not interrupt.

!!
Gu Man had a sharp tongue and was not at a disadvantage at all. Instead, Elder Zhou was so angry that he stomped his feet.

“Old Master Cui, is this the good woman you chose? She’s only so-so! You should teach her what it means to be high and mighty early, lest she provokes someone she shouldn’t in the future.”

Old Master Cui’s turbid gaze landed on Elder Zhou, as if he had heard a funny joke. He could not help but ask, “When did the Zhou Family become someone the Cui Family should not provoke? Zhou Ping, don’t be too arrogant.”

Although the Cui Family had been stagnant in the past few years, they were not something the Zhou Family, who had relied on improper methods to climb up the ranks of the four great families, could compare to.

Other than the Zhou Family, the other three families all had deep foundations. This was far beyond the Zhou Family. However, Elder Zhou was old and started to be arrogant. He actually began to not recognize the truth.

Elder Zhou was still a little afraid of Old Master Cui. His eyes darted around before he finally looked at Gu Man.

Until now, Old Master Cui had not done anything to protect Gu Man. It seemed like he did not care that much about this woman and still cared about his reputation and face.

Elder Zhou thought that he was smart, but he did not know that Old Master Cui did not take the initiative to protect Gu Man because he believed that she could easily deal with Zhou Ping.

“Old Master Cui, you’re wrong. I’m just helping you discipline your woman. Why are you angry?”

Old Master Cui’s expression was as ugly as it could be. If Gu Man had not grabbed his wrist, he would have taught Elder Zhou a lesson now. He really thought that he was an impressive figure!

Gu Man sized up Old Zhou with disdain. “Old Zhou, no one is throwing themselves at you, so you feel so inferior. You have to bite everyone you see?”

She tilted her head and looked puzzled, but there was no expression on her face. When her dark eyes stared at someone, it made one’s body go weak. It was not the expression and aura of a high school student at all.

Elder Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, his face ashen. He really could not maintain his rationality. He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Man, even giving off the feeling that he was about to rush over the next second.

However, perhaps afraid because there were people coming and going here, Elder Zhou finally only flicked his sleeve and snorted. “You’re glib-tongued. I don’t care to argue with you!”

“Looks like Elder Zhou is not well educated. You really can’t think of anything to refute, right?”

Gu Man’s casual words hit Old Zhou hard.

Education had always been his sore spot. He was exasperated and walked up to Gu Man in two to three steps. “Old Master Cui can’t protect you forever. Do you think he’ll still protect you after such a dirty thing is exposed?”

Gu Man’s eyes were filled with disgust. She hated men who made dirty rumors about women the most in her life. His heart was dirty and he would think that anything he looked at was dirty. Little did he know that the dirtiest person was himself!

“Elder Zhou, you should hurry up and treat your brain. You’re talking nonsense all day long. You can’t see clearly and you can’t understand what’s going on in your mind. Did the Zhou Family rely on being funny to gain a foothold in the four great families?”

Elder Zhou opened his mouth again and again, but he could not say anything. He was rendered speechless. He kept repeating those boring words.

“Old Master Cui, even if you’re jealous that I won the painting, you don’t have to find someone to humiliate me like this, right?”

Everyone had seen Old Master Cui’s posture when he was filming just now, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped, but this did not stop Elder Zhou from making malicious guesses.

“It’s just a fake painting. Only Elder Zhou has poor eyesight and treats it as a treasure.”

The expression on Gu Man’s face was too glaring. Elder Zhou was completely angry. His voice rose and he could not control his tone. “What fake? I think you’re a high school student and don’t know anything. You’re good at lying!”
