Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!

279 Distorting Black and White

“What happened?”

“Miss Gu Rou brought Mr. Zhang here. After investigation, Mr. Zhang did give Miss Gu Rou a necklace. The necklace can’t be found now.”

Halfway through his sentence, Li Hua’s voice disappeared and Zhang Yue’s voice came.

“Gu Man, if you like the necklace, you can tell me instead of stealing Gu Rou’s necklace! Besides, Gu Rou has already chosen to forgive you, but you still insisted on calling the police. The Gu Family’s reputation has been greatly affected because of this!”

“Brother Zhang, don’t be in a hurry to reprimand Sister. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you come. I just want to prove the Gu Family’s innocence as soon as possible.”

“Gu Rou, you’re…”

“Miss Gu Man, can you come to the police station if it’s convenient?” Li Hua’s voice sounded again.

“Officer, I have nothing to do with Zhang Yue, so the matter of me stealing won’t happen to me. In addition, necklaces differ from each other. It’s better for you to investigate carefully and not just keep an eye on me.”

With that, Gu Man hung up. She had thought that Li Hua was a more upright and reasonable person. She did not expect him to call her to question her after listening to Zhang Yue.

“About the Gu Family?”

Gu Man nodded in response.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, Xiang Yin frowned. “Did they do something? I can help.”

“It’s fine. It’s just an unimportant matter.”

When Xiang Yin heard Gu Man’s rejection, he felt inexplicably sad. The two of them had known each other for so long, but she still refused to tell him when she was in trouble.

There were no other plans in the afternoon. After returning home, Gu Man returned to her room alone, leaving Huang Jue to face the storm.

After resting in the room for a while, she pushed open the door and saw her grandmother and Huang Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, sitting unhappily at the side with their heads lowered.

“Manman, Grandma knows that you…”

Gu Man knew that her grandmother would definitely nag for a while more and quickly interrupted her. “Grandma, I’ll give you acupuncture. I still have something to do later.”

Seeing that Gu Man was in a hurry, Grandma sighed and could only follow her back to her room.

Perhaps it was because she had sufficient physical strength and spiritual energy, the acupuncture ended quickly.

Grandma had already fallen asleep. Gu Man looked at Huang Jun, who was still waiting outside, and said, “Uncle, I still have something on. If you have anything to say, you can wait for me to come back.”

Huang Jue, who was about to speak, closed his mouth again and could only watch Gu Man leave.

Gu Man did not go out on a whim. She wanted to go to the ghost market to find more jade to replenish her spiritual power.

It felt good to have abundant spirit energy. She did not want the scene of her fainting because of spiritual energy to happen again.

When they arrived at the ghost market, there were already small stalls set up one after another. However, at a glance, there did not seem to be any good material.

Halfway down the road, someone grabbed her pants. Gu Man looked down and realized that it was an old man.

“Miss, please buy some material.”

Gu Man roughly swept the jade stones placed in front of the stall. There was basically nothing good. She tugged at her clothes, but the old man kneeling on the ground did not seem to have any intention of letting go. She was also a little impatient.

“Let go.”

“Miss, please buy some. I haven’t eaten for a few meals.”

The old man did not react. He continued to kneel on the ground and tug at Gu Man’s pants.

The commotion here also attracted a portion of people to watch. The surrounding people clearly recognized Gu Man, so someone reminded her kindly.

“This old man has been here for a few days. He will make whoever he catches buy his jade, but he doesn’t even look at the quality of the jade he puts out. No one is a philanthropist.”

“Gu Man.”

A slightly surprised voice sounded. Gu Man turned around and saw Jiang Yi’s face. He was still holding a stone that had not been cut open.

Jiang Yi walked over and saw the old man holding Gu Man’s pants. He frowned and scolded, “Let go of her. Don’t force me to hit you.”

However, this old man refused to let go and kept repeating that sentence.
