“You only know how to think for her. When has she ever repaid you? Everything that Gu Man has is given by the Gu family. What’s there to be afraid of?!”
As Qu Bei spoke, she opened the ribbon of the gift box and handed it to Gu Rou.
Gu Rou quickly took it and said, “Then let me take a look. I’ll reassemble it later and give it to Sister.”
Gu Rou carefully opened the box. When she saw what was inside, she opened her mouth but could not say anything.
Qu Bei looked over and smiled angrily. “Isn’t it just a bag? Do you have to be so shocked? Your mouth can fit an egg.”
After a while, Gu Rou found her voice. “Oh my god! Mom, this is a limited edition white MK diamond alligator bag. It costs two million yuan each. Moreover, there are only 11 of them produced worldwide. This is a treasure that can’t be bought with money.”
When Qu Bei heard this, she shouted, “Two million for a bag?”
Gu Yuan could not help but be shocked. Although the Gu family was a rich business family, two million yuan for a bag was still too extravagant for the Gu family.
Gu Rou had seen this bag a long time ago, but she could only look at it.
At this moment, she thought that if she could carry this bag out, her friends would definitely be envious of her.
But on second thought, this belonged to Gu Man, so she could not openly take it for herself.
She forced a smile and said, “Sister is really lucky to receive such an expensive gift. But such a good bag really suits her.”
Gu Yuan saw that Gu Rou liked this bag very much, but he was still thinking for Gu Rou. He compared her to Gu Man in his heart and said directly, “Take it if you like it. Gu Man doesn’t even carry such an expensive bag when she’s in high school now.”
Gu Rou looked hesitant. “But Sister will be unhappy.”
When Qu Bei saw Gu Rou backing down again and again, she panicked. “Rou’er, I say you’re too kind. You’re usually so protective and concerned about her. What’s wrong with you wanting her bag? Which thing on her body wasn’t given by the Gu family?”
When Qu Bei heard that this bag was worth two million yuan, she wondered how she, Gu Man, was worthy of carrying such a bag. Only her daughter, Gu Rou, was qualified to carry it.
“Then if Sister wants to carry it later, I’ll give it back to her.”
Gu Rou felt a sense of lightness that she had achieved her goal.
“Madam Zhou doesn’t know how to behave. She only knows how to prepare gifts for Gu Man. We’re Gu Man’s parents. No matter what, we have to have a gift as well. Don’t you think so?”
“Maybe she forgot.” Gu Yuan did not understand either.
Gu Yuan recalled that Mrs. Zhou didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic towards them just now. Why?
“Seeing how generous Mrs. Zhou is, could she be from a top family?” Gu Rou asked.
Hearing Gu Rou’s question, Qu Bei thought for a moment. “Could it be the Zhou family of the four major families in Han City?”
“Impossible. I’ve seen the head of the Zhou Family before. I never knew that there was such a person,” Gu Yuan said firmly.
“Could it be that you didn’t recognize all of them?” Qu Bei thought.
If that Mrs. Zhou was really from the Zhou Family, one of the four major families in Han City, then it would really be amazing. They would definitely take this opportunity to cozy up to her.
“I don’t think so. I have some business dealings with the Zhou Family. Usually, important figures from the Zhou Family will come for the annual meeting. I recognize all of them. Moreover, the nephew of the Zhou Family head and I usually go out for a drink. He will tell me about the Zhou Family, but he never said that there are other Mrs. Zhous.” After thinking about it, Gu Yuan was even more certain.
When Gu Rou heard this, she said, “Let’s not care who this Mrs. Zhou is first. Just look at her temperament. She must be from a rich family. It’s definitely not wrong for us to build a good relationship with her.”
Gu Yuan praised, “Our Rou’er is so thoughtful.”
Gu Man did not remember that she had a gift downstairs, let alone that her gift had already been taken by someone else.
She was a little busy now.
She realized that her “eel” hacker protection system was vibrating and sounding the alarm.
It seemed that someone had successfully infiltrated her first protective net.
Gu Man was a little excited. She turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard while muttering to herself, “Heh, interesting! Let me meet you.”
If the other party attacked a line of defense, Gu Man would replace it. If the other party did not move, she would not move either.
Gu Man was so childish that it was like she was walking a dog. When the dog took a step forward, she pulled the rope.
However, after teasing for more than ten minutes, Gu Man felt bored.
She typed out an encrypted password on the computer and sent it without hesitation. Then, she added a strengthened version of the protective net and turned off the computer.
