Chapter 180: The Gift Arrived, But Not the Person

When Gu Yin came back, she stayed in her room to do practice problems. The more she did, the more frustrated she became. She tore up the paper and crushed it in her palm. Looking down, she tore it into even smaller pieces. She looked calm and expressionless, her gaze empty.

She continued to tear the paper for some time until she felt pain in her fingers. She flinched and hung her head. She got a paper cut on her finger from tearing at it so wildly. There was a trace of blood on it. Stunned for a moment, she stuck her finger in her mouth in a daze.

After a while, she picked up the pen again and continued doing problems absent-mindedly. Her strokes were heavy as though she were trying to tear through the paper.

...

The next morning, at the racecourse.

The reason Qin Fang came to Ming City was because he was interested in land so that he could build a race course. Fortunately, New Year’s day was an auspicious day to start the business. He didn’t understand why Yu Shu was here when was clearly supposed to be keeping a low profile.

“Best wishes for the business.” Yu Shu smiled gracefully and handed a small gift to him.

“Thanks.” Qin Fang took it despite how difficult it was to accept gifts. What horrific gift might Brother Cheng bring him later when he visited?

Judging from how things were turning out...

He Yidu held a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke drifted as he smiled. “How did you know that Qin Fang’s racecourse is opening today?”

Yu Shu pushed the hair back behind her ears. “I ran into Yu Mufeng at dinner that day and they were talking about it, so I asked.”

Qin Fang was speechless

No wonder that rascal sent a gift without coming himself. He stirred up trouble.

“Will Chengzhou be here today?” Yu Shu’s demeanor was very open and natural.

It was as if she and Lu Chengzhou had no history of disputes.

Qin Fang looked at her. She was dressed well and was wearing fine makeup. Her clothes were of the most extravagant style and of fine make. He remembered that Yu Shu always liked to wear Lan Ting’s clothes because Matriarch Lu liked it. Now that she knew that Lan Ting’s designer was Gu Mang, she wasn’t wearing it anymore?

“Is there anything on my face?” Yu Shu saw that Qin Fang kept looking at her and wasn’t saying anything. She touched her face subconsciously.

Qin Fang smiled like a rascal. “Nah, Brother Cheng should be here soon.”

Yu Shu nodded and paused for a moment before saying casually, “I heard last night that Chengzhou activated some men in Ming City.”

“Yeah.” Qin Fang raised his eyebrows. Hearing that, his gaze darkened slightly and he gave a short reply. “Those people picked the wrong person to mess with.”

They had been very merciful. If Brother Cheng hadn’t held back because he didn’t want to scare Gu Mang, it wouldn’t have ended so easily. Those people didn’t have much merit to speak of, but at least they knew who was on their side and who wasn’t. If their own people committed murder and arson, they would destroy the evidence. But if outsiders were to touch even a single strand of hair...

Yu Shu sighed and said regretfully, “Zhou Xintang is still a pretty talented designer. It’s a pity however that her reputation is ruined. A girl’s life was ruined just like that.”

Qin Fang and He Yidu didn’t comment.

Yu Shu glanced at them, her gaze darkened slightly. She laughed. “Actually, it’s just a little fight between the girls. Since Gu Mang knows how important her design is, she shouldn’t have tossed it away so haphazardly. None of this would have happened if she were more mindful.”

Still no one answered her.

Yu Shu clenched her fist and continued saying softly, “To cause such trouble during the New Year’s party is simply quite unreasonable.”

Qin Fang couldn’t help but laugh, “Yu Shu, since when did you become such a kind person? If Gu Mang wants to throw something away, does she need to think about how she should do it to prevent others from picking it up?”

Yu Shu’s smile shrank as though she hadn’t expected him to reply with such a stinging retort.
