Chapter 758: Siding With Outsiders So Badly
Gu Mang had only stayed on Jijing Island for about two years.
She spent her time in an enclosed training center and never interacted with the families.
She thought for a while but could not come to a conclusion.
There was silence on the phone for a while. Then, Yun Ling said, “Hey, do we accept the mission or not?”
“No.” Gu Mang walked ahead while carrying her books with one hand. “Look into the Ye family and send me information.”
Yun Ling responded, “Okay.”
...
Ye Junci had something on so she stayed in the capital for two days. She had just entered her hotel suite when she received the reply from Shadow League.
“They did not accept the mission?” She stopped in her tracks and looked at her butler.
Butler Ye said, “The Shadow League has always done whatever they feel like doing when it comes to taking on missions. Their mood matters more than the money.”
He had expected this to happen when she put up the mission. Of course, he did not think that his young master’s girlfriend would be so special such that Shadow League wouldn’t accept the mission for the easy money.
Ye Junci looked away and her eyes drooped. No one could tell what she was thinking. She walked towards the sofa, distracted.
After she sat down, she looked up at Butler Ye. “Even Old Madam likes Gu Mang. She must be formidable.”
“Yeah.” Butler Lu smiled. “If you are still worried, we can arrange a meeting with Ms. Gu so you can see her in person.”
Ye Junci shook her head. “Even if I want to, I would have to ask Chengzhou first. If he tells me that I am being nosy again our relationship will get worse.”
Lu Chengzhou had shown her some face during their meeting.
Regardless, given that temper of his, it would be stranger if he agreed to meet her. If she were to see Gu Mang without his approval, she was afraid that the consequences might be difficult to bear.
When Butler Ye heard this, he pondered for a few seconds and said, “Would Young Master agree?”
“Highly unlikely.” Ye Junci was a little troubled.
Butler Ye suggested hesitantly, “Why don’t we talk to Commander Lu about this matter first?”
Ye Junci thought for a while and thought that it could do.
She sent Lu Zhan a message. [Can we meet Chengzhou and Gu Mang for a meal together?]
...
On Lu Zhan’s side.
When he received the message, he did not agree on his own accord. Instead, he gave Lu Chengzhou a phone call.
“A meal?” Lu Chengzhou had just arrived at the Blood Institute. He had one hand in his pocket as he walked into the building. When he heard that, he scoffed. “Busy.”
Lu Zhan was speechless.
“Dad, Gu Mang’s temper isn’t very good either and you know that,” Lu Chengzhou said slowly. “As for me, I’m always on her side. If any of you make her angry, don’t count on whatever kinship there is between family to save you.”
He spoke in an extremely open manner and that angered Lu Zhan.
This made Lu Zhan even angrier than when Lu Chengzhou made the Lu family give Gu Mang over a billion. Lu Zhan opened his mouth and was about to scold him, but Lu Chengzhou hung up right after he had finished speaking.
Lu Zhan’s anger was held in his chest and he almost couldn’t take his next breath.
He slammed the phone down and his face turned black with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “He’s forgotten who I am now that he’s got a partner!”
...
Ye Junci received Lu Zhan’s reply. [...]
Five minutes ago, her order had been rejected by Shadow League. Now, her very own son had rejected her.
She had just arrived in the capital and everything was going so terribly.
Her headache started to get worse.
The corner of Butler Ye’s lips twitched. On Jijing Island, there was no one who would not show face to the Ye family.
Today was the first time that they had been rejected.
...
At the same time.
Gu Mang received information about the Ye family from Yun Ling.
She did not have the time to look at it because she suddenly received a call from Yang Tianming.
“Gu Mang, are you in the lab now?” Yang Tianming had a friendly tone, like he was talking to a student that he was proud of.
Gu Mang was about to reach the medical school building. She replied, “Nope. I’ll arrive in three minutes. What’s the matter?”
Yang Tianming answered, “Oh, come over to my office later. There is an international competition coming up. Come take a look to see if you want to participate in it.”
