Chapter 409 - 409: Thief Gu Rou
Gu Rou rubbed her slightly red wrist, her expression even more pitiful. Xiang Yin was not present just now, so she let Bai Yun hold her wrist. However, it was different now.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head, trying her best to show her most pitiful side.
“Young Master Bai, a woman’s reputation is the most important. Please don’t slander me without distinguishing right or wrong.”
Halfway through her sentence, she paused and pretended to be strong. She looked up in Gu Man’s direction.
“Sister, although there are some grudges between us, we’re family. You can’t side with Young Master Bai just because of his status and not stand on my side.”
Even at this moment, Gu Rou did not forget to belittle Gu Man and make her seem like a vain woman.
Everyone here more or less knew that Gu Rou had a very troublesome sister.
Although the Gu family’s matter had blown up recently, it had not been made public after all. Therefore, people like them, who could not even compare to the Gu family, had yet to receive any news. They did not dare to vent their anger on Bai Yun and instantly focused it on Gu Man.
“Gu Rou, so this is your good sister. I heard that she has always given you an incomparable headache. I didn’t expect her to side with an outsider from a good family. It’s better to raise a dog than to raise her. At least it knows how to wag its tail.”
The woman’s words were aggressive. It was the woman who had been trying to please Gu Rou at the banquet. She was wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes. It was obvious what she was thinking.
“No matter what, you’re family. She shouldn’t jump to conclusions without asking for the reason, right?”
Although they were all talking about Gu Man, they were more or less shading Bai Yun.
Bai Yun’s face, which was hidden in the dark, was extremely dark. He had underestimated Gu Rou’s schemes. He had been impulsive just now.
Just as Bai Yun was about to defend Gu Man, he saw her speak lightly.
“Gu Rou, Bai Yun’s wine has been swapped. The Manager is investigating this matter. Although there are no cameras in some hidden places, for safety reasons, the Manager still installed some hidden cameras. Other than some especially hidden places, I’m afraid this thief is about to be caught.”
These words were baffling. The others did not understand, but when Gu Rou heard this, her face instantly turned pale. She immediately panicked and lost her composure.
Could it be that she was really about to be discovered? Or was Gu Man just bluffing her?
Gu Rou could not make up her mind for a moment. She became more and more flustered, causing him to gradually become irritable. However, she still had to pretend. She pretended not to understand and tilted her head.
“Sister, what do you mean? I don’t quite understand.”
As soon as Gu Rou finished speaking, the voices of the others sounded.
“She’s saying such baffling things. I think she’s trying to change the topic.” “What’s more, Young Master Bai’s drinks were swapped. That’s not a reason for you to slander your sister, right? It can’t be that as long as she has Romance Conti that she’s the thief. How can that be?”
“Yes, that doesn’t make sense. So ask her, where did she get this bottle of Romance Conti from?”
Cui Lin, who was leaning against the door, suddenly spoke. Only then did those who were complaining suddenly realize that there were two people still standing at the door.
Although he did not know their identities, since they could be around Bai Yun, it proved that their identities were not low. Those who could be with the Bai family of the four great families were very likely from the other families of the four great families.
Only then did they suddenly realize that it was very likely that the three great families were standing in front of them.
Instantly, the discussions became much softer.
Cui Lin’s expression did not soften just because their discussion was small. No matter how many grudges he had with Bai Yun, they had always been very united to the outside world.
Moreover, Bai Yun was being reasonable to them, but they were talking nonsense.
Seeing that the voices that were helping her were getting softer and softer, Gu Rou bit her lower lip and hurriedly defended herself.
She was more concerned about Xiang Yin’s thoughts.
“They’re just my friends. They can’t bear to sec me being slandered, so they said such things. Young Master, please don’t say that..”
