After the two men heard this, they asked, "If Miss Bai doesn't appear, won't Bai Zhun be anxious? And what about Old Master Bai?"
"Today is Bai Zhun's birthday. No one will care about the adopted daughter. Moreover, she is already a guest at someone else's house. You don't have to worry about this. I will do it well." Gu Rou clearly did not think this was a problem.
One of the men continued asking, "There are so many guests coming and going. What if she insists on coming in?"
"You guys must deal with this. If she causes too much trouble, then you just find a place to lock her up." Gu Rou's voice sank as she added, "As long as she is not allowed enter the Bai Family's house today, I will reward you handsomely."
When the two men heard this, they made up their minds and nodded. "Sure."
As the three of them finished speaking, two girls appeared. One of them smilingly held Gu Rou's arm, which looked very close to her. Without realizing the severity of their doings, they were still a little proud. "Gu Rou, your idea is marvelous. To be honest, Young Master Bai's sister is really too much of a hindrance. It was the same for our meal last time. How Old are we? We're all girls around seventeen or eighteen years old. We should at least have some freedom to fall in love with each other. She's a junior high school student who always follows young Master Bai around. She doesn't have the slightest sense of shame, causing us to feel uncomfortable even while eating. We always need to care about her. Also, when we were at No. 1 High School's cafeteria last time, we had already formed groups of threes which comprised boys and girls. Although she was the extra one, she still didn't even know what was going on. She only got away after being warned. As expected, she came from a small village, so of course she didn't know the rules. Even after she got into the Bai Family, she still had that uncomfortable, poor air about her. She didn't like to eat meat, and she always liked to eat vegetarian food. How could others accommodate her every time? Now that she can't join the birthday party, we could finally have fun!"
"Yes, yes." The other girl had a look of expectation on her face, and even her eyes were full of energy. "I heard that there is a session at the banquet which allows to have fun and barbeque with our partner. We could roast meat and have an all-nighter. Unfortunately, the Bai Family canceled this program because they had to take care of that child. Now, that child couldn't even enter the house, so there was no need to think about her anymore. I can't wait to join the one-on-one session! Gu Rou, you can still get along with Bai Zhun. The two of you... Hehe."
"What are you thinking about?". "Gu Rou flushed scarlet as she chuckled and said in a cold tone, "As you can see, I've tried to get along well with her over and over again, but this child is just so insensible. She always likes to talk back to me in front of others. Since she told me that she didn't want to come back, then I'll just let her stay outside today. That way, she won't forget her original lowly background."
"Gu Rou is right. The Bai Family is just too good to this child..."
"Especially Bai Zhun. Why is he so good to a foster sister?"
Chapter 1260 - The Gu Family
Gu Rou listened intently and let out a scoff before saying, "Bai Zhun will stop being nice to her once today is over. She isn't even going to appear on time for her brother's birthday and she's going to make so many people waste their time waiting for her. How long do you think the Bai family will continue to tolerate such an imm.a.t.u.r.e child?"
"So you're thinking of..." the other girls gave an understanding smile. "That's just as well. In the future, Bai Zhun wouldn't care about her and nobody will bother us anymore when we go out..."
Then, the screen shook and the camera moved to a school cafeteria.
In the bustling crowd, Ajiu was sitting upright beside a long table. She was holding a lunch box with a little white cat on her head and it was wagging its tail.
On the screen, Ajiu opened the lunchbox. It looked like she was about to eat.
At this moment, two of the three girls looked at each other from her side.
Then, they opened their mouths.
Because there was too much noise and no one was filming on purpose, the picture quality was not very good.
But even so, everyone could still hear what they said to Ajiu.
They were saying that this girl was taking up too much time and asked Ajiu to go to another table.
Although what Gu Rou and the others said was not very straightforward, the contempt and disdain in their eyes were very obvious.
Ajiu looked at them and clenched her little fists, as if she really wanted to beat them up.
But the child did not say anything in the end. She just buried her little head, held the lunchbox in her hands, and went to another table before starting to feed her cat. Her tiny back seemed so sad and lonely.
The three girls began to talk and laugh.
One of them even glanced in Ajiu's direction. Then, she lowered her voice and whispered into Gu Rou's ear, "This sister of Bai Zhun's is really an eyesore."
Fortunately, at this time, Helian Qingchen appeared dressed in his school uniform and walked to where Ajiu was.
Then, Li Hailou and the others rushed towards him.
Soon after, the girls began to mock Ajiu, saying that she wasn't fit to eat on the second floor of the cafeteria and that she should just return to wherever she came from.
Those were such awful words to listen to.
It was unpleasant to hear that there were already people in the hall who could not help but raise their hands to cover their mouths. Their eyes were filled with shock.
When those military commanders watched the footage, they were all too stunned to react. All of them widened their eyes in shock!
They had never thought that a seventeen-year-old girl would be so scheming. They had never thought that these girls who were well-read and reasonable in front of them were actually of such poor character. Not only did they speak sarcastically, but they also looked down on others.
How could the Gu family raise such a granddaughter?
In an instant, everyone in the hall looked towards the Gu family.
"That's too ruthless of them. I really didn't think that a girl would have been the one who came up with this."
"If it wasn't for her brother protecting her, wouldn't Ajiu have been bullied?"
"She's already been ostracized! Isn't it in the video? Those girls' hearts are so ugly. Oh my god, I don't even know what to say."
After hearing the discussions around her, Gu Rou was completely stunned. It took her a long while before she started shouting frantically, "This isn't real! This is not real at all!"
Gu Rou's face was pale. She wanted to defend herself, but the video was already more than enough proof of her guilt.
No matter how hard she tried to deny it, she couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse. Even her words became pointless!
Gu Rou bit her lips tightly.
Why was there such a video?
Such a thing should not have existed in the first place!
"The video is fake, these videos must be fake!" Gu Rou denied it as if she had gone crazy. She only wanted to quickly turn off the screen right now. But the truth was already painfully clear.
After watching the video, Old Master Bai turned his head to look at Gu Rou in shock. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his gaze towards Gu Rou was filled with shock, disappointment, and even anger...
Helian Weiwei stood by the side and the corners of her mouth curved slightly as she gave a faint sneer. "Could Miss Gu please check the date and origins of the video before saying that it is fake? These videos were dug out from the school's and the Bai family's surveillance cameras. How could it be fake?"
"I, I..." Gu Rou's pale face froze. Helian Weiwei's every word was like the sharpest needle, piercing through all of her disguises.
Helian Weiwei's eyes looked at her indifferently, then her eyes looked past her and landed on Old Master Gu instead. "Old Master Gu, didn't you claim that we were the on
es bullying others? After watching this video, I wonder if you can still say that our family bullied your obedient granddaughter."
When Old Master Gu heard this, he was extremely embarrassed.
The existence of the video was like a pair of invisible hands, hitting his face until it hurt.
What his precious granddaughter had done was clearly recorded in the video.
He couldn't even believe that the person who said those cold words was his granddaughter, who had always been obedient and sensible.
He had just said that the Gu family had raised kindhearted children.
But that video showed very clearly how his granddaughter had bullied a little girl.
Helian Weiwei didn't stop there. She glanced at the people present and her tone also became cold. "What sort of background or birth my daughter had should not matter. She was taken in by the Bai family and it is not her fault for following Bai Zhun around. Gu Rou felt that she was an eyesore and stood in the way of her pursuit of Bai Zhun, so she came up with so many wicked ideas. If she merely ostracized my daughter, fine. But she actually wanted someone to capture my daughter and lock her up in a room!"
"In order to get close to Bai Zhun, in order to make Bai Zhun dislike Ajiu, in order to steal the limelight at Bai Zhun's birthday party, she actually came up with such malicious methods of dealing with Ajiu. She knew how much importance Ajiu placed on this party, but she still did such a thing. Old Master Gu, what a wonderful granddaughter you've brought up!"
Helian Weiwei's last sentence was like a huge blow, making Old Master Gu feel as if he had been ruthlessly beaten.
Chapter 1261 - Turning on One Another, What an Embarrassment
"It's not like that, listen to my explanation, it's not like that!" Gu Rou's entire body trembled as she looked at the crowd in fear. Large tears fell uncontrollably down her face.
She couldn't admit it!
Once she admitted what she had done...
Her reputation would be completely ruined!
"At that time, I wasn't thinking of such evil things!" Gu Rou anxiously tugged at Old Master Gu's sleeve. "Grandpa, you have to believe me. My thoughts really didn't go that far."
Old Master Gu raised his head and looked at everyone. With so many people looking at him, he simply didn't know what he ought to say.
Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. Her gaze was rather cold. "Old Master Gu, it's a pity that your granddaughter didn't get into theater studies. She said that her thoughts hadn't gone that far? She could even think of ordering someone to kidnap a girl who isn't even 12! There's nothing such a girl wouldn't do! If not for these videos, she would never admit to doing any of this. In fact, she would continue to mislead the guests and make them think that my family is the one bullying her. Someone capable of such schemes couldn't possibly have 'not gone that far'!"
Upon hearing that, Gu Rou's face turned pale. "No! It's not like that! "I really just wanted Ajiu to have some self-awareness. I wasn't thinking of bullying her. I just wanted her to know that a child like her isn't worthy of Bai Zhun. She's always too clingy, doesn't take any hints and keeps following Bai Zhun around...I really didn't think of harming her!"
"Gu Rou." Helian Weiwei's voice sank. "I've never liked it when someone older lords it over a younger person. Are you still going to deny it even at this point in time? You're making it hard for anyone to even try to defend you now. How could you say you didn't mean to harm her? You locked Ajiu up for an entire night! Don't you think that was a really ruthless idea?"
It wasn't just ruthless, it was completely heartless.
People were discussing animatedly. No decent person would use such a method to deal with a child.
This could not be said to be an unintentional mistake.
It was clear that this girl wanted to destroy Ajiu!
Xiao Lin and Li Hailou looked at each other.
Their current emotions were really more complicated than anyone else's.
Especially Li Hailou. He wished he could slap himself twice and then teach Gu Rou a lesson!
If it weren't for him, even though Bai Zhun had been the one who wanted to make a deal with the Gu family, Gu Rou wouldn't be able to do all of this so easily if not for Li Hailou.
It was all because he had been blind and didn't see her true colors.
But he had never realized what had happened that day.
He couldn't believe what those two girls in the video had said. He couldn't believe these two girls were actually such people!
Bai Zhun had eventually let them off because one of them was Li Hailou's girlfriend.
"It's all my fault!" Li Hailou blamed himself so much that his eyes were red. He clenched his fists tightly. "If it weren't for me, Gu Rou wouldn't have had the chance to get in contact with Ajiu."
Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Hailou, now is not the time to talk about this. Since we caused this problem, then we've got to help get rid of it. We've got to deal with all those people who bullied Ajiu."
After this reminder from Xiao Lin, Li Hailou's gaze became very fierce as he looked in the direction of Gu Rou and the two girls. His voice was cold as he said, "I will not let you have it easy!"
The two girls' fingers trembled. Their escape route was already blocked by those invisible men in black.
They also did not expect that there would be such a video.
Why were all their words captured?
What should they do now?
They were dead for sure!
They had offended Xiao Lin and Li Hailou, which meant that they would no longer have anymore friends.
They could almost imagine how miserable their lives would be in the future.
Even though they were from No. 2 High School, the impression that all the other high schoolers got from them after watching this video would ensure that they wouldn't meet with a good end, never mind how powerful the Li and Xiao families were at the same time.
Moreover, when they did these things and said these words, they did not think that the child would be the little princess of Juewei Group.
How were they going to live in the future?
When the two girls thought of this, they did not care anymore and desperately tried to explain as they exposed Gu Rou's role in all of this at the same time.
"It has nothing to do with us! It's Gu Rou! She's the one who always told us that she didn't like Bai Zhun's younger sister, saying that she was merely adopted from some village and wasn't worthy to be a Bai. She's the daughter of the Gu family, so we had no choice but to go along with her and listen to everything she told us to do. If we didn't do that, the people in school would ostracize us from the next day onwards!"
"Before this, there was a girl who went against what Gu Rou told her to do and now, nobody in school sits with her for lunch, and everyone just treats her like a monster. Hailou, you've got to believe us! We cared about Gu Rou's opinion only because we didn't want to end up in the same predicament. We just did everything she told us to."
"Also, she had also hinted to us that if Bai Zhun didn't have such a bothersome younger sister, she would be able to spend every single waking moment with Bai Zhun, and it would be a lot easier to woo Bai Zhun with her out of the way."
"What nonsense are both of you talking about?!" After hearing these words, Gu Rou couldn't help but shout out loud. She immediately rushed in front of the two girls and slapped the face of the girl who had just spoken. Her eyes turned red. "I've always been so good to the two of you but the two of you do this to me?!"
The girl immediately cried and reached out to clutch her cheek. She also started shouting, "I've already offended everyone, so I don't care if I offend you or not! If you weren't the daughter of the Gu family, did you think anybody would really care to be friends with you?!"
"Why, you!" Gu Rou reached out and pounced on the girl again.
No one cared about them. The two of them pulled at each other's hair and rolled about on the floor like two dogs trying to bite each other.
Their usual gentle demeanor was nowhere to be found.
Even Old Master Gu's eyes were filled with shock when he saw this, let alone the others. The people present no longer spoke up for Gu Rou. Instead, the disgust in their eyes was obvious.
Gu Cheng stood to the side and clenched his fists. After the video was shown, he knew that the Gu family was doomed this time.
He knew that his cousin liked Bai Zhun very much and he thought that even if she pulled a few tricks to get close to Bai Zhun, she wouldn't do anything unethical like this...
But after watching the video himself, even he felt an indescribable anger pressing down on his c.h.e.s.t.
How could his cousin actually use such a method to deal with her?
Moreover, she was just a child...
Chapter 1262 - Bai Zhun's Regret
The shrieking sounds in the hall grew louder and louder.
Ajiu's big round eyes followed the two girls as they fought. Her small face was very serious as she said to Helian Qingchen who was standing beside her, "Second Brother, watching them hurt each other like this is even more enjoyable than beating someone up myself."
Helian Qingchen tilted his head and smiled. He lowered his voice and said, "This was all father's idea."
"I have to learn from him in the future," Ajiu said as she nodded her head. The kitten on her head wagged its tail as she moved.
Of course, Old Master Gu would not allow his granddaughter to continue embarrassing herself like this. With a stiff expression, he ordered the people beside him, "What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and pull Young Mistress away!"
The Gu family's bodyguards did indeed want to pull her away, but they were still being stared at by the men in black. Just the gaze of those men in black alone was terrifying.
It was as if the ones looking at them were not humans, but some unknown creature.
