Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot!-Chapter 97

97 Second Master’s Gaze Is Weird

Seeing that the three of them were fine, Cui Lao finally relaxed.

He looked at the gray-clothed people and the unscathed Gu Man and couldn’t help but praise, “You two young people are quite skilled.”

In Old Master Cui’s heart, Gu Man should be the target of protection, so he would not include her in the list of “good fighters”.

Bai Yun nodded. Actually, he wanted to say that if you had seen Gu Man knock out one person with each needle, you would have been even more impressed.

“Old Master Cui, how’s the matter on your side?” Xiang Yin asked.

Gu Man and Bai Yun also looked at Cui Lao and wanted to say, “Don’t say that it wasn’t handled well. Wouldn’t our fight just now be for nothing?”

Fortunately, Cui Lao did not screw up. “It’s done. I’m the buyer. It’s only natural for me to return the goods when I realize that they’re fake. Instead, you guys interfered in the middle, making them unable to tolerate it.”

Gu Man asked in a low voice, “Old Master, why do you want this sarira?”

Cui Lao sighed. “I’m here for my grandson, Ah Mai. An eminent monk at the temple said that Ah Mai’s abnormality is because he’s missing a wisp of his soul. The sarira is condensed from the essence of predecessors. If Ah Mai wears it, it can make up for the wisp of soul that Ah Mai is missing.”

Gu Man snorted. “Where did this eminent monk come from?”

Old Master Cui sighed again. “You might think that I’m superstitious, but this concerns Mai. I have to try anything.”

Everyone fell silent. Although they could not empathize, they could understand Old Master Cui’s actions.

Cui Lao continued, “Speaking of which, it was the three of you who saved our Ah Mai last time. Now that you’ve helped this old man again, I don’t even know how to thank you. Can I have the honor of treating you to a meal to express my gratitude?”

“There’s no need.”

Xiang Yin and Gu Man’s voices sounded at the same time. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Xiang Yin glanced at Gu Man and felt smug. So they still had a little chemistry.

Old Master Cui listened to their rejection and did not force it. He could roughly predict this outcome. After all, it was the same last time.

On the other hand, he saw Xiang Yin’s expression when he looked at Gu Man and was a little unhappy. This kid looked at Gu Man strangely. Could it be that he had fallen for his granddaughter? fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Cui Lao looked at Xiang Yin with bright eyes. Xiang Yin could clearly feel that Cui Lao’s gaze had become sharper, but he could not understand why.

Cui Lao’s polite tone instantly disappeared and was replaced by a questioning tone. “Gu Man, the ghost market is not like the market in the day. It’s not a place you should be. Don’t come again, understand?”

Gu Man frowned. She felt that this old man was really interfering too much today.

Old Master Cui saw Gu Man’s impatient expression, but he could only take advantage of his seniority.

“All three of you, listen to the old man. Don’t come to the ghost market for the time being. Stop for a while.”

Cui Lao looked like an old man lecturing them, making it difficult for the three of them to refute.

Seeing that the three of them seemed to be able to listen, Cui Lao said, “Since you don’t want me to treat you, please accept this cheque.”

With that, the middle-aged man at the side handed each of them a check for ten million yuan.

“I’m just expressing my gratitude. If it weren’t for you guys, not only would I have lost 100 million yuan from being a fool, I would also have delayed Ah Mai. So please accept it.”

The three of them wanted to refuse, but since Old Master Cui had said so, they could only accept it obediently.

“Old Master Cui, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first,” Xiang Yin said.

Old Master Cui looked at Xiang Yin and then at Gu Man. His heart was about to break from worry. He couldn’t help but ask, “Is Gu Man going back to the Gu Family?”

Sure enough, Xiang Yin said calmly, “I’ll send Gu Man home.”

“Alright, I’m old and naggy. Go back quickly.” Old Master Cui waved his hand.

The three of them turned around and left.

Old Master Cui looked at Gu Man’s back and thought to himself, if Gu Man was really his granddaughter, he would definitely not let her come out with two men at night. Fortunately, those two young men looked good and were reliable.

On the way back, Xiang Yin drove and glanced at Gu Man from time to time.
