Even now, the old lady still didn’t realize that it was her fault. She never believed that she could make mistakes. Therefore it must be Gu Ning’s fault. The old lady was so selfish!
“Mom, could you stop blaming others for what you’ve done? Didn’t you make mistakes?” Gu Qinxiang lost his patience, and raised his voice. Although he hated Gu Ning too, he also knew that his mother was the cause of the mess.
“How come it’s my fault? Gu Ning did it! If she hadn’t been here, it all wouldn’t have happened!” the old lady retorted with anger.
“You…” Gu Qinxiang was speechless. The old lady was utterly unreasonable.
“However, since Gu Ning knows them. You can get Gu Ning to help you with the project in front of Executive Le,” the old lady said airily.
People around who hadn’t left yet were astonished. The old lady was really shameless. She had just sworn at the girl, and wasn’t willing to admit that the girl was her granddaughter. Now she thought it was granted that Gu Ning would help them.
Everyone looked at the old lady with intense dislike, but the old lady was too shameless to notice.
Gu Qinxiang’s family however, were all cheered up by the idea. They were all selfish people and didn’t believe that there was anything wrong with it.
If Gu Ning had known about their idea, she would have laughed out of anger. She had never met such shameless people before!
Gu Ning didn’t actually know Le Zhengyu. Even if they did know each other, she had no reason to help Gu Qingxiang. It would already be very kind of her not to get Le Zhengyu to delete Gu Qinxiang’s name from the waiting list.
“Doctor An, we left the hospital in a hurry last time. I didn’t thank you enough for your help. I’m so sorry,” Gu Man said to An Qian.
“Please don’t say that. Gu Ning and I are friends,” An Qian replied.
Even though, Gu Man still felt a little guilty. She said, “Doctor An, please let us buy the meal this time.”
“It’s really fine. Please let my friend buy the meal.” An Qian immediately rejected. She tried her best to show her kindness.
“Absolutely not,” Gu Man argued. She then turned to Gu Ning. “Ningning, say something!”
“An Qian, please let us do the treating!” Gu Ning said.
Actually, even though Gu Man hadn’t said that, Gu Ning would let Jiang Xu pay the bill secretly later. An Qian knew she couldn’t reject anyway, so she compromised.
Because of what had just happened outside, Gu Qinyang’s family were losing their patience waiting.
Qinxiang’s family was always late, and they were used to it, but Gu Man and Gu Qing’s families were never late. Instead, they were always the ones who came early. Now however, it was more than 10 minutes past 6 and they still hadn’t showed up. Gu Qinyang’s family felt displeased.
Gu Qingyang had a family of four. His wife, Wen Yulan, and twin children. The elder sister was Gu Yinyin, and the younger brother was Gu Qingshi. They were both 14 in the eighth grade.
Both Gu Yinyin and Gu Qingshi were good-looking kids with bad characters. They would probably behave themselves in front of strangers, but in front of the Gu Family, they would be themselves.
They were like Gu Xiaoxiao who enjoyed bulling Gu Ning and Jiang Xinyue. Therefore, they had a good relationship with Gu Xiaoxiao.
“What is wrong with our second aunt and the family of our fourth aunt? We invite them to have dinner with us, but they are so late! What do they think they are?” Gu Qingshi said with anger. He apparently didn’t blame Gu Qinxiang’s family. Indeed, Gu Qinxiang was the boss in the Gu Family, and no one dared to blame him. Gu Qinxiang was the richest one among them anyway.
“Exactly! I think we shouldn’t have invited them at the very beginning. I feel so embarrassed to have such a group of poor relatives!” Gu Yinyin said with disdain.
Both Gu Qinyang and Wen Yulan didn’t criticize their children for their unkind remarks. They both actually had the same idea, and they would never blame their children. Children learned the way of behaving from their parents. If their parents didn’t show any respect to others, they basically would do the same thing.
Like what had happened when Gu Qinxiang, Gu Qing, Gu Qinyang and Gu Man had been intimate sisters and brothers in their childhood. Under the influence of their mother, the boys had started to despise the girls.
However, the most important reason was that they were selfish people. Their father didn’t think that boys were better than girls, and had told his sons to treat the girls well, but their father had had to work hard to support his family. He hadn’t been home often, let alone having time to educate his children. Otherwise Gu Man and Gu Qing wouldn’t have been bullied for a long time.
Gu Qinyang called Gu Qing. He criticized her once the phone was answered, “What is wrong with you? Look at the clock! Do you know what time is it now? Do you need us to call you twice to have dinner together? If you don’t want to come, just tell us. We won’t wait for you!”
Gu Qinyang’s attitude was terrible. In the past time, Gu Qing would tolerate it, but now she was in a rage. She remembered what she had been through for her last half lifetime, and she couldn’t stand it any longer. She raised her voice and shouted, “Couldn’t you be kind to us? Couldn’t you find out the reason first? Couldn’t you stop blaming us for everything? We’ve been early for the meal every time, while Gu Qingxiang is always late. You never said anything about that! I know we’re poor, and you dislike us. I understand, but this time is different. It was mom who wouldn’t allow Ningning to come. She even argued badly with us outside. We absolutely stand by Ningning’s side. If Ningning can’t come, we won’t either!”
After that, Gu Qing hung up directly.
Gu Qinyang was struck dumb. He never expected that Gu Qing would be so mad, and he suddenly didn’t know how to react. Because Gu Qing’s voice was loud, Wen Yulan who was sitting aside also heard clearly. The old lady wouldn’t allow Gu Ning to come? They even had had a fierce argument? What had happened?
They knew that the old lady never liked Gu Ning, and she always humiliated Gu Ning every time they met, but she had never been so irritated before. Had Gu Ning done something that aggravated the old lady?
As they felt confused, the door was pushed open, and Gu Qinxiang’s family walked inside, and everyone seemed displeased.
