Chapter 16
The Zhang family was considered an established noble family in Han City. It was not something the new money families like the Gu family and the Li family could compare to.
As a result, Principal Wu immediately said politely, “Young Master Zhang, Miss Gu, please take a seat. Gu Man will be here soon.”
Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door again. A tall and beautiful person walked in.
When Li Guo and the others saw who it was, their faces turned cold.
“Hello, Principal. I’m Gu Man!” Gu Man walked to the principal’s desk and greeted him.
Principal Wu wanted to scold her loudly, but he could not.
Principal Wu thought to himself, She’s a very polite girl. She’s not as bad as the others say.
However, he still asked seriously, “Gu Man, did you hit Li Guo?”
“Yes!”
Everyone was surprised. They thought that Gu Man would deny it, but they did not expect her to admit it so readily.
“Why did you hit your classmate?”
Gu Man still replied bluntly, “He deserves it!”
As soon as Gu Man finished speaking, Li Guo’s mother exploded. “Listen, listen. You’re still so unrepentant after hitting someone. If such a person still stays in First High, wouldn’t it ruin the school’s reputation?!”
Zhang Chuan’s face darkened. “Gu Man, apologize immediately!” 1
This Gu Man was still so brainless. She had clearly hit someone, yet she was still so self-righteous.
Gu Man also saw Zhang Yue and Gu Rou. She snorted in her heart. “As expected, they won’t let go of any occasion to attack me.”
“Did the Gu family send you to make me apologize?” Gu Man looked at Zhang Chuan with disdain.
“Gu Man, don’t be stubborn. You hit someone yourself, you should apologize!” Zhang Yue wished he could pry open her head. Gu Man had hit someone.
If she had apologized sincerely, Principal Wu and the Li family would give in on account of the Zhang family, but judging from Gu Man’s attitude, she would not apologize easily.
Sure enough, Gu Man replied in a low voice, “I should apologize? No way!”
Gu Rou was secretly happy when she saw that Zhang Yue’s face was about to turn black from anger.
Gu Man, you’re courting death.
Gu Rou comforted Zhang Yue first and walked to Gu Man’s side. “Gu Man, listen to your sister’s advice. Look at how badly you slapped Li Guo’s face. You hit him, so you’re in the wrong. Shouldn’t you apologize?”
Gu Man understood it in her heart. “She really knows how to persuade people. She convicted me with just one sentence! She didn’t even forget to remind the other party that they got slapped in the face.”
Sure enough, at the mention of his face, Li Guo started to throw a tantrum. “Mom, we have to beat Gu Man’s face until it swells too before chasing her out of school.”
Li Guo’s mother immediately said, “Young Master Zhang, Miss Gu, you saw it too. Gu Man doesn’t even want to apologize to us. It’s not that I don’t want to give the Zhang family face, but Gu Man is too much!”
“Gu Man, what right do you have to be arrogant? Everything you have now is given to you by the Gu family. If the Gu family takes it all back, you’ll be nothing!” Zhang Yue walked closer to Gu Man and said angrily in a low voice.
When Gu Man heard this, she did not answer. Instead, she looked at Gu Rou quietly. “Is this also the Gu family’s intention?”
Gu Rou put on a sincere and earnest expression. “Gu Man, for the sake of your future, the Gu family is trying their best to give you the best. You just transferred from the countryside to Han City First High School. There might be many things that went wrong. You can tell Sister. How can you hit someone so casually and let Father down?”
After what she said, everyone gave her a thumbs up in their hearts?
Gu Rou was so reasonable. If Gu Man was half as reasonable as Gu Rou, there would not be this incident where she hit someone.
Gu Man just didn’t know what was good for her and didn’t know how to be grateful!
Gu Man couldn’t help but praise her. These words were so brilliant! She even reminded everyone of Gu Man’s identity as a country bumpkin from time to time.
“Gu Rou, if you really care about me, why don’t you ask me why I hit someone?” Gu Man mocked.
“Gu Man, that’s enough. It’s wrong of you to hit someone. Is the reason that important?” Zhang Yue was about to go crazy from anger.
Li Guo’s mother saw that Zhang Yue wanted Gu Man to apologize from the beginning to the end and wanted to give the Zhang family face.
“Young Master Zhang, my son was beaten up by Gu Man. For your sake, I just want Gu Man to bow solemnly and apologize to me and my son. If she refuses to apologize, I can only call the police and let them handle it.”
It was up to Gu Man to choose.
