88 Flattery

At the thought of this, Gu Yuan was a little angry. “Teacher Zhuang? You just said that she doesn’t have family values and that she instigated Gu Man. She’ll only be familiar with you because she hates you.”

Qu Bei paused for a moment before she suddenly shouted aggrievedly, “I just can’t stand how arrogant she is. She looks just like Gu Man.”

When Gu Yuan heard this, he became even angrier. “You don’t know how to restrain yourself in front of outsiders. You don’t like Gu Man, so you can say whatever you want in private. You have to give her some face in front of outsiders because you don’t know when you’ll be asking her for help. Isn’t that true? What an ignorant woman.”

“Alright, even if I’m ignorant, who was the one who patted his chest and agreed to this? You know how to be a human the best. Now, shake your tail and beg those board members,” Qu Bei said as she imitated Gu Yuan’s patting of his chest.

When Gu Rou saw her parents arguing because of this, she thought to herself, Isn’t it just about Zhong Yao’s school? If she can’t go to Han City First High School, she can just return to town. What’s the big deal?

But she still persuaded him, “I’ll ask Teacher Zhuang later. If it really doesn’t work, there’s no other way.”

Gu Rou then said to Gu Zhi and Zhong Yao, “As long as we work hard, Auntie and Cousin won’t blame us, right?”

Zhong Yao lowered her head and pinched the corner of her shirt, her entire body curled up.

Gu Zhi opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

She had thought that it was something certain, but now it was uncertain.

She had already told the villagers that Zhong Yao would go to the city to study. If they dragged their luggage back in the end, wouldn’t they be laughed at by the villagers?

However, it seemed like there was no other way. She was in no position to force Gu Yuan. Moreover, from the looks of it, Qu Bei was already blaming Gu Yuan for taking on this troublesome task.

If she forced him again, wouldn’t she be even more disliked?

Hence, she could only remain silent.

However, Old Madam Gu did not have any worries. She said confidently, “It’s just a few school board members. I don’t believe that the Gu family is unable to get them to help us. Gu Yuan, quickly think of a way. Yao’er must study in Han City.”

At this moment, Gu Yuan had a headache. He thought that the Gu family’s background was not bad, but what Han City did not lack the most was a big family.

The Gu family really could not be considered as one.

However, he could not refute his mother. He could only think of a way. “Then let’s check on Teacher Zhuang later.”

They waited eagerly for Zhuang Yan to come downstairs. After a long time, Zhuang Yan went downstairs to greet the Gu family and planned to leave.

But at this moment, the Gu family’s attitude towards her had changed completely.

As the mistress of the house, Qu Bei said warmly, “Teacher Zhuang, aren’t you going to chat a little longer? Shall we have dinner later?”

Gu Rou also smiled and said, “I’m really happy for Teacher Zhuang and Gu Man to have such a good relationship. Besides, the two of you look like sisters standing together.”

Old Madam Gu even said, “As long as someone like Teacher Zhuang says that she’s looking for a boyfriend, there will definitely be people queuing up to chase after her. Do you want me to help you look for one?”

The sudden enthusiasm stunned Zhuang Yan.

When Gu Man saw this, she immediately understood that they had a request for Teacher Zhuang.

Sure enough, Gu Yuan said, “I heard that one of the board members has the surname Zhuang. Teacher Zhuang, do you know him?”

Zhuang Yan did not answer. She frowned and looked at Gu Yuan. She finally understood why their attitude changed so quickly. It was because they had something to ask of her.

Gu Man snorted and exposed them. “Is this why you flatter me?”

These words made the faces of the Gu family turn red.

Qu Bei flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Who said we’re flattering you? Besides, we’re not flattering you. Why are you so anxious?”

However, Gu Rou calmed down. “Teacher Zhuang, I apologize for our previous words. We heard that your family is one of the board members, so we want to see if you can recommend Cousin to Han City First High.”

When Zhuang Yan heard this, she frowned even more and refused directly, “No.”

Why was Gu Rou so ignorant? Every school board member had two recommendation spots every year. The person who was recommended could not disgrace the school board’s reputation, so how could she casually make a recommendation?

The Gu family did not expect Zhuang Yan to reject them directly.
