Lei Xiao’s expression turned grim immediately.
Gu Mang laughed at him, the arc of her smile gangster-like. Upon closer inspection Lei Xiao would have seen that it was a smile of cold ruthlessness.
Suddenly, the chauffeur ran over quickly. Seeing Gu Mang’s face, he stopped to look for a few more seconds and said, “Division Chief Lei, Department Chief Zhao and the others have already arrived.”
Lei Xiao then remembered that he still had a meal meeting with others. He glared at Gu Mang and warned her, “It was you who refused to take the fifty thousand back then. Since you have what it takes to refuse it, don’t go about doing such shady business.”
With that said, he scoffed, turned around, and walked away with large strides.
Gu Mang watched with indifference. She pushed down the brim of her hat, stuffed her hands in her pockets, and walked casually towards the bus stop.
Along the way, a black SUV stopped beside her.
Gu Mang looked over indifferently from the corner of her eyes.
The car window rolled down, revealing Qin Fang’s rogue-like face.
“Gu Mang, where are you going?” Qin Fang put his arm nonchalantly on the steering wheel and smiled.
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow slightly, her voice clear and low as she said, “Back to school.”
Qin Fang cocked his head toward the back seat. “Get in the car. I’ll drive you there.”
Gu Mang opened the car door without much emotion on her face and got into the car.
“Brother Cheng has returned to the capital.” Qin Fang started the car. “He asked me to take care of you for a few days.”

Gu Mang found a comfortable position and leaned to the side as she played with her cell phone. She said in an insipid tone, “How is the patient’s recovery?”
Qin Fang tapped his finger on the steering wheel. “It’s alright. After taking the Chinese patent medicine you gave she’s back to her daily activities.”
Gu Mang grunted softly and stopped talking.
…
The capital, Lu residence.
Granny Lu was wearing vintage, classy reading glasses. She was sitting in the living room, reading a book.
Suddenly she saw Lu Chengzhou entering from outside and looked at him mildly before continuing to flip through her book.
“Granny.” Lu Chengzhou’s voice was deep and raspy with some aloofness.
Granny Lu snorted, “Oh, so you know to come back. I thought you would only rush back to attend my funeral after I die.”
Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow and turned around to leave.
The old grandmother was immediately anxious. “Stop there!”
Lu Chengzhou put a hand in his pocket and turned around, his eyes half-closed. Pursing his lips, he inadvertently appeared a little aloof.
The old grandmother glared at him irritably. “Sit down!”
“Don’t be so angry,” Lu Chengzhou spoke casually as he went to sit beside the old grandmother languidly. He folded his legs, his arm nonchalantly resting on the armrest as he chuckled. “Am I not here to see you now?”
The old grandmother glanced at him. “I heard that you have been around Ming City recently.”
Lu Chengzhou pulled his chin in and raised an eyebrow as he nodded.
“For a high school girl?” The old grandmother didn’t look happy as she stared at him with a sharp and cold glare. “I heard that this girl is quite ruthless and has a bad record.”

Since old grandfather Lu passed away, the old grandmother had to keep the Lu family together by herself. She was even tougher than men.
The old grandmother, who was usually very kind, was now very intimidating.
Lu Chengzhou looked up. The sunlight fell upon his eyes, giving off a clear and cool reflection. As he spoke, his voice carried a rare ruthlessness. “Who told you that?”
The old grandmother didn’t hide it from him. “Yu Shu.”
