Yun Liu's heart sank. "Mom, let's go over and take a look." So saying, Yun Liu hooked her arm around Zheng Xiu's.
Zheng Xiu, however, was unwilling to go. "Why should I voluntarily go there when she's not asking me to? I'm not going!"
Yun Liu quietly told her mother what happened between Gu Man and the Xi family before saying, "Mom, do you think Aunt Chang Hui is avoiding us because of what happened with Gu Man?"
Zheng Xiu shook her head. "Not possible. She only raised Gu Man by her side because she's pretty. Gu Man's biological parents were such disappointments that your aunt holds her in disdain! We'll think more highly of her if she can get her hands on Xi Cheng or Shi Nian. If not, hmph! She's nothing to us; our Gu family has never lacked girls!"
