Chapter 13 The Negotiation Failed
Jiang Manru couldn't believe what she had heard. She stared at the woman in front of her who looked at ease. Jiang Manru's mind went blank and couldn't figure out what Gu Qingyan was going to say for a while.
Butler also looked at Gu Qingyan in surprise.
Of course, they didn't say these words outright in front of Gu Qingyan. But there were so many servants, and it was inevitable that some people had maliciously abused Gu Qingyan when they talked a lot in private. Did Gu Qingyan hear them by accident?
The whole upper class knew that the Gu family adopted a daughter, but if the news spread that the Gu family wanted to use the adopted daughter's kidney to match the real eldest Miss, the topic would be a little hotter.
So they just chatted with each other after dinner, but they never put this kind of thing on the table.
After all, such a straightforward and generous scandal really tore up the hypocritical faces of those people.
Jiang Manru felt as if her clothes had been torn off and she was walking naked on the street.
She took a deep breath to adjust her mood.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Don't talk nonsense. My good mother, you know it in your heart."
"I'm here to inform you that I'm leaving."
Jiang Manru's face turned ghastly pale. She picked up a teacup and threw it at Gu Qingyan.
With a smile, Gu Qingyan stood up and looked at Jiang Manru coldly.
"I advise you to save your energy. After all, I have been in the Gu family for so long. Guess if I know any secrets of the Gu family."
After saying that, Gu Qingyan looked at the embarrassed expressions of Jiang Manru and Gu Yaoguo with complete relief. Gu Qingyan hooked her lips and showed a coquettish smile on her face.
"I guess netizens are interested in these things!"
"What are you going to do?"
The arrogance on Jiang Manru's face faded away slowly, and Jiang Manru's face turned pale.
Sitting aside, Gu Yaoguo, who was sitting firmly on the fishing platform, seemed to be a little nervous.
"I don't want to do anything. I just don't want to continue staying in the Gu family anymore. I want to move out, but I'm worried that you will stick me on like a dog skin plaster and won't be able to get rid of it, so I have to do this."
Gu Qingyan knew that she couldn't really get rid of these people for a while, but Gu Qingyan was sure that at least she couldn't continue to live under the control of the Gu family.
Gu Qingyan calculated the pros and cons in her heart, and the expression on her face did not change much.
In order not to let Jiang Manru notice her mood change at the moment, there was a polite and decent smile on her face. Gu Qingyan was not like the rudeness that Jiang Manru said, but with a hint of victory.
"Don't worry. I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to stay here any longer."
The expression on Gu Qingyan's face was full of "As long as you agree, I will not cause trouble", but Jiang Manru was unwilling to compromise at this time.
Jiang Manru knew clearly that since Gu Qingyan dared to resist for the first time, she must dare to resist for the second time. If Jiang Manru gave Gu Qingyan a chance, it was hard to guarantee that Gu Qingyan would not make trouble in the future.
The best solution was to keep Gu Qingyan in control avoid any big problems.
"I don't agree!"
As soon as Jiang Manru finished speaking, the face of Gu Qingyan darkened slightly. Sitting next to her, Si Cenyue squinted slightly. Even Guo Yaoguo, who had planned to have a good business, was surprised at the decisiveness of Jiang Manru.
"You've already made so much trouble while you were living in the Gu family. If I let you leave the Gu family again, how many more jokes will you make?"
With a lofty excuse, Jiang Manru raised her chin high, as if Jiang Manru still had disdain for Gu Qingyan in front of her.
Even if Gu Qingyan had said such words, Jiang Manru was still confident that she could control her.
"You are so stubborn!"
All of a sudden, Gu Qingyan felt a little funny. Was the body owner held in the palm of such a group of people until she passed away?
This was too ironic.
Is it true that good people don't live long and bad people live for thousands of years?
Trying to suppress her anger, Gu Qingyan took a deep breath and looked at the two people in front of her.
"You think I can't get close to the core of the Gu family, so the secrets I have are not enough to make the Gu family devastated, right?"
Gu Qingyan had to admit that she indeed didn't know much about the Gu family.
The reason why Gu Qingyan threatened them just now was to deceive Mr. and Mrs. Gu to see if she could get the result she wanted.
But now it seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Gu did not accept her coaxing.
"Then I have to change another way."
Gu Qingyan made up her mind secretly. Looking up at Jiang Manru and GuYaoguo, who seemed to have regained their confidence, a malicious smile appeared on her face.
Seeing the expression on Gu Qingyan's face, Jiang Manru suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Manru had heard from Xiaoyue and Meng Qiujie that there was something wrong with Gu Qingyan after she woke up, and she became fiercer.
Jiang Manru hadn't felt it before. Now she finally realized what it meant when she saw the expression on Gu Qingyan's face.
"If you let me live in this Gu family's house, I have no objection."
"But if someone eats out the pushpin, who is sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and a basin of cold water from the sky, and who is not afraid of the terrible glass debris in his shoes, then I have no objection."
Of course, these were just annoying tricks. But the more such small tricks, the lower possibility of being discovered and the higher the chance of being hit.
"The worst result is that we all die together. Anyway, I'm a loser. I'm not afraid of the winner."
The smile on Gu Qingyan's face was as sweet as candy melted in cream.
But Jiang Manru in front of Gu Qingyan felt a chill from the bottom of Jiang Manru's heart because of Gu Qingyan's sweet smile.
Jiang Manru licked her lips and opened her mouth, trying to say something, but the words stuck in her throat and Jiang Manru could not say anything.
"Well, if Gu Qingyan wants to live out, just let her go!"
Noticing that Jiang Manru was speechless, Gu Yaoguo stepped forward and said.
The atmosphere eased a lot for a time, and even Si Cenyue's originally tightly wrinkled brows gradually loosened.
"It's okay to live out, but you have to come back to have dinner with us every Friday. After all, you are the adopted daughter of the Gu family. You can't miss the weekly family dinner no matter what."
If there was no way to completely control Gu Qingyan in her hand, the best way Jiang Manru could think of was to ensure that Gu Qingyan could not be out of the control of the Gu family.
"Sure."
Gu Qingyan knew that if she didn't agree to this, she would probably irritate Jiang Manru, so Gu Qingyan didn't continue to haggle over such a trifle.
Anyway, she would soon solve all these troubles and restore her freedom.
