Chapter 116: What a Typical Rich Girl, Unworthy of a Second Glance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Chengzhou’s intentions were too obvious, almost as if he weren’t hiding them at all. The old grandmother had surely picked up on it.
When she entered the residence, Gu Mang saw a car parked in front of the Lu residence.
When she had come the second time to perform surgery on the old grandmother, she had seen the same license plate while she was leaving.
Yu Shu’s car.
She was also at the Lu residence. The Yu family from the capital. Her social status was pretty high. The girl looked down, the raised corner of her eyes showing a little displeasure. What a typical rich girl, unworthy of a second glance.
Lu Chengzhou kept staring at Gu Mang and the girl’s sudden brashness made one’s heart palpitate.
Hearing the old grandmother asking her to stay for dinner, he turned to look, his voice a little cold. “You don’t need to worry about dinner.”
The old grandmother’s smile stiffened slightly. Lu Chengzhou crossed his legs, his arms placed casually in a languid posture. There was a cold expression on his face. A cold, stifling aura enveloped them all.
When the Yu family heard that he was coming back, they sent Yu Shu over, intending to reconcile the relationship. But he wasn’t in the mood today.
Gu Mang remained composed as she glanced at the two of them. She grabbed her bag, threw it over her shoulders, and said indifferently, “My flight is at ten o’clock. I can’t stay. Thanks, Granny.”
With an excuse to leave, the light in the old grandmother’s eyes faded and she smiled kindly. “Thank you for making the trip.”
Gu Mang nodded, her backpack hanging from her shoulder. She put her hands in her pockets without a care. She turned around to leave.
“I will see you out.” Lu Chengzhou said, getting up.
Gu Mang looked up slightly. She couldn’t hold back her wildness as she said in a low voice, “Yeah.”
...
Lu Chengzhou opened the front passenger seat door to his car and Gu Mang got inside.
She found a comfortable position to sit in and started up her game.
“Let’s go eat first,” said Lu Chengzhou as he got into the car and started the engine. “What do you want to eat?”
Gu Mang didn’t look up. She was already on the game’s startup page. “Anything.”
After a moment of silence he said, “There is a dessert shop which is pretty good at making snacks. Wanna go?”
Gu Mang lifted her eyelids as she glanced at him, then returned to staring at her cell phone. “Okay.”
Even though it was a dessert shop, it was in a prime location in the city center. The location was excellent, had unique decor, and was always filled with visitors. The two of them sat by a glass window and had a panoramic view of the busy activities below.
Gu Mang rested her chin on her cool, fair hand. Sitting like a boss, she looked outside casually.
Just then, Lu Chengzhou’s cell phone rang. It was from He Yidu. He answered it.
“Brother Cheng.” The sound of a distant mahjong game could be heard on He Yidu’s end. “Shadow League took our order again. This time it’s for the market price.”
Lu Chengzhou was stunned for half a second and didn’t quite understand what was going on, but he replied mildly, “Alright.”
He Yidu tutted. “Brother Cheng, what do you think about this? Is the Shadow League charging us based on their mood?”
While talking, the waiter came with their desserts.
“I’m hanging up,” said Lu Chengzhou before hanging up the call and putting the cell phone aside.
Gu Mang was already eating with a spoon, her eyebrow raised in a lazy expression.
It seemed like she liked the taste.
A hint of amusement surfaced in Lu Chengzhou’s eyes. He stared at her for a few seconds before speaking in a deep voice, “Your teacher has sent me a report card again. This time you even scored zero on the Chinese test.”
Her grades were even more beautiful than her.
Hearing that, Gu Mang’s eyelids didn’t even move. She only gave a mild “oh” in reply. Then she nonchalantly picked up a piece of matcha snack to eat.
After a few seconds, she propped up her chin with one hand and grabbed a spoon with the other. Her pretty lips turned up in a smile. “Isn’t it neat?”
