Chapter 689: Missing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Man was silent for a moment before she immediately understood that Old Master Cui had probably told Cui Hong her identity.

However, looking at how only Cui Hong had called so far, the others probably did not know about this yet.

She thought for a moment and said, “Uncle.”

On the other side, Cui Hong’s eyes were filled with tears when he heard this. He could only forcefully suppress the bitterness in his heart and barely not embarrass himself in front of his juniors.

“Manman, Manman, can 1 call you that? Uncle was in the wrong just now. Uncle didn’t know that you were her daughter.” No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, Cui Hong’s trembling voice had already exposed his emotions.

Gu Man did not know what to say. After all, a second ago, the two of them were still incompatible, but now that they had confirmed each other’s identities, the change happened too suddenly, catching them off guard.

However, Cui Hong did not seem to want an answer. Instead, he apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s Uncle’s fault. Uncle shouldn’t have been so fierce to you just now. You were frightened, right?”

“I’m not scared,” Gu Man said calmly.

Cui Hong was a little disappointed by Gu Man’s reaction, but when he thought about what he had done previously, Gu Man’s attitude seemed to be reasonable.

Hope reignited in his heart. It didn’t matter. There was still a long way to go.

He would let Gu Man see his sincerity.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Cui Hong carefully hung up.

Gu Man looked at the page in her hand that had been hung up and revealed a helpless expression. It seemed that her life would become interesting in the future.

As soon as the call ended, not long after, another call was hurriedly made.

Perhaps because Gu Yuan had called too many times, Gu Man had already memorized his number.

Just as she was wondering why Gu Yuan was calling, she heard Gu Yuan’s heart-wrenching roar the moment she picked up the call. “Gu Man, didn’t you already promise me to return to the Gu family? Where are you?”

Gu Yuan was prepared to talk to Gu Man early in the morning. Who knew that she was not in the villa at all?

Gu Man felt a rare sense of guilt, but she quickly suppressed it. “I’m sorry, 1 forgot about this.”

“You can even forget such an important thing! You still…” Gu Yuan was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped. He snorted. “Alright, I won’t argue with you. Come back early.”

After saying this, Gu Yuan hurriedly hung up.

Gu Man picked up her cell phone with a nonchalant expression, but because she had already said that she would return to the Gu family yesterday and suddenly appeared here today, Grandma and Huang Jun still asked a few more questions.

After knowing that Gu Man had only come back out of habit, Grandma tapped Gu Man’s head helplessly. “What if you get married in the future?”

Married?

These words appeared in Gu Man’s mind, then Xiang Yin’s figure appeared.

However, she quickly rejected this thought. She had too much on her shoulders, and she did not know when she would return to that world under some opportunity. Therefore, it was better for the two of them not to have too many ties. It was good to maintain the current situation.

“I still have to accompany Grandma. How can I bear to get married?” Gu Man’s sweet words made Grandma smile until her face turned red.

After dinner, Gu Man looked at Huang Jue. “Come with me to Han City First High. I’ll settle your matter as soon as possible.”

Huang Jue jumped up and stood on the chair. However, before he could express his excitement, a slap came from the back of his head.

Grandma looked at Huang Jue coldly. “The stool is for people to sit on. Is it for you to step on?”

Huang Jue held his head and sat back on the chair aggrievedly. “Sister, let’s go now.”

His words were filled with grievance as he looked in Gu Man’s direction with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Man smiled helplessly. “Clean your stool before sitting down.”

Hearing this, Huang Jue felt as if he had been electrocuted. He suddenly jumped up and kept patting his pants.

“I just changed into new pants.” For a moment, the entire hall was filled with Huang Jue’s wails..
