Chapter 767: The Ten Wonders Of The Shadow League

When Granny Lu was still at the peak of her health, Ye Junci saw her at the International Summit once a year. Ye Junci had not seen her ever since Granny Lu’s sudden illness last year. That was why she came to pay her a visit this time.

After staying at the Lu residence for some time, she was ready to bid Granny Lu farewell and return to Jijing Island. She did not expect to see Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang at the Lu residence just before she left.

Granny Lu noticed that Ye Junci’s expression didn’t seem quite right so she was stunned. “Were you unaware that Chengzhou and Ms. Gu would be coming tonight?”

Ye Junci shook her head.

She had asked Lu Zhan to arrange a dinner with Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang. Speaking of that, she had lost quite some face. Not only was she rejected, she was also warned to not bug Gu Mang.

Old Madam’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew very well that her degenerate grandson was rather cold towards Ye Junci. He might think that she had arranged for them to meet Ye Junci.

The thought had just flashed in Old Madam’s mind when Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang arrived at the entrance of the front hall. Ye Junci saw them from the corner of her eyes and she felt jittery. She looked over slowly.

Although she had thought of meeting the two of them, she never expected it to run into them so suddenly.

She couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Old Madam was nervous too. If she were to be misunderstood, would the two not come to visit her again?

When Lu Chengzhou saw Ye Junci, his expression did not change much, but the aura he gave off became colder. Gu Mang’s gaze stopped at the sofa and she narrowed her eyes a little.

Yun Ling had just looked into Ye Junci’s information last night. There was a photo in the document. She did not know Ye Junci, but the Lu family did.

Ye Junci only asked the Shadow League to look into her after arriving in the capital. She roughly guessed who for.

When she came to the Lu residence to diagnose and treat Granny Lu long ago, she had looked into every member of the Lu family. Expect Lu Chengzhou’s mother, whose data was missing. If she was Ye Junci, then everything would make sense.

After seeing that Lu Chengzhou, Granny Lu stood up immediately and walked over to hold Gu Mang’s hand tightly.

“Gu Mang, you’re here.” Granny Lu held Gu Mang’s hand and led her to the sofa. She asked in a friendly tone, “Are you tired from school?”

Gu Mang’s arm, which was also held by Lu Chengzhou, was pulled in opposite directions.

Because of Granny Lu, her hand slipped out of Lu Chengzhou’s palm.

She turned to look at Granny Lu and answered in a rather docile tone, “I’m alright.”

“Then why does it seem like you’ve grown slimmer?” Whenever Granny Lu saw her, she always felt as if Lu Chengzhou did not feed her well.

Lu Chengzhou’s attention moved from Ye Junci’s side to his empty hand. He glanced at it then back at Granny Lu.

He bit his thin lips and stuck one hand in his pocket. Then he followed Granny Lu and Gu Mang expressionlessly.

When Ye Junci saw this, she sighed in relief.

Her conversation with Granny Lu this afternoon had been almost all about Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang. Her son behaved like a lord. He would turn around and leave if he was dissatisfied with anything.

She was quite afraid that if he saw her, he might not even show face to Old Madam and leave right away.

Since Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang came, Ye Junci decided not to leave early. Old Madam even gave Lu Zhan a phone call to ask him to come over from Red Scorpion.

They had dinner rather late. Granny Lu, Gu Mang and Ye Junci had a chat.

Gu Mang spoke very little. She just listened quietly and occasionally smiled or nodded as a response.

Lu Zhan and Lu Chengzhou stood together in the yard when the older man arrived later that night.

The lights at the Lu residence were very bright. Even the silhouettes of dark clouds in the night sky were illuminated.

Lu Zhan knocked out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Chengzhou.

“Trying to quit,” Lu Chengzhou said calmly as he stuck both hands into his pocket.

Lu Zhan looked at him, rather surprised. “You’re trying to quit smoking?”

Lu Chengzhou responded with just a hum.

Lu Zhan did not press on further. He lit one one of his own, “You should know that there is no good in offending Leng Xuan. You shouldn’t have spoken so harshly this morning.”

Lu Chengzhou was standing in a spot where he could see Gu Mang. She never left his vision.

He answered nonchalantly, “I’m sorry, my girlfriend is very strict. I have to be a good husband.”

Lu Zhan choked on the smoke and he coughed so hard that his face flushed and his neck constricted.

He could only speak after a while in disbelief. “Repeat yourself. What are you doing?”

“I have to be a good husband.” Lu Chengzhou turned to Lu Zhan and tugged at his neat shirt collar. “She wants me to accompany her on a tour around the museum. Who does she think she is?”

It was only now that Lu Zhan noticed Lu Chengzhou’s collar. He would usually left his collar loosely open.

Lu Zhan was speechless. His son was wearing his shirt properly for once.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at the cigarette in Lu Zhan’s hand. The pale smoke seemed to whirl into his breath, tempting him.

He turned to leave for the front hall.

...

Lu Chengzhou was silent during dinner. All he did was scoop dishes for Gu Mang.

Granny Lu looked at Gu Mang, then she smiled and asked Ye Junci, “Gu Mang is beautiful, isn’t she?”

Not only was Leng Xuan the youngest Elder in the Elders’ Association, she was also known to be the top socialite on Jijing Island. She was also at the top in many other aspects as well.

But when it came to beauty, she could not compare to Gu Mang.

Ye Junci had seen many people with outstanding looks, but none of them compared to this lady before her.

She nodded and smiled. “Quite beautiful.”

When Lu Chengzhou heard this, he looked up and glanced at Ye Junci.

Lu Zhan was speechless.

Granny Lu looked at Gu Mang as if she were showing off. “The children will surely be even more good-looking.”

Gu Mang was silent.

Ye Junci nodded. “How old is Gu Mang?”

Speaking of age, Lu Zhan felt ashamed. His son had already tried to pursue her when she was still underage. He still doesn’t know his limits!

Lu Zhan answered with a deep voice, “Not 19 yet.”

Ye Junci did not expect Gu Mang to be so young. She looked at Gu Mang and asked, “Are you in Year 1?”

Gu Mang responded, “Yeah, Year 1.”

By this time, Ye Junci roughly knew what Lu Chengzhou wanted to hear. She said, “If you get certificates from the universities here, academic credits can be added. You’ll be done in another year.”

Lu Chengzhou scooped some sweet and sour fish for Gu Mang and he looked at Ye Junci, who was seated across from him. “One year, three months, and six days.”

Gu Mang said nothing. Lu Zhan and Ye Junci were speechless.

He remembers it so well.

Ye Junci realized that Lu Chengzhou took the initiative to speak to her. The corners of her mouth twitched.

...

After the meal.

They all accompanied Old Madam for another half an hour before they left the Lu Residence.

They parted ways at the entrance.

Ye Junci had a chauffeur.

Lu Zhan still ordered a subordinate to follow them and escort her to the airport.

Lu Chengzhou drove Gu Mang back to the Royal Garden. Gu Mang lay in the passenger seat lazily and texting Yun Ling on her phone.

Gu Mang said, [There’s no need to look into the Ye family now.]

[Huh? Why the sudden decision not to?] asked Yun Ling.

[Ye Junci is Lu Chengzhou’s mother,] she said.

Yun Ling was shocked. [Oh damn! So the head of the Ye family is that super mysterious wife of Lu Zhan?]

In Shadow League’s intelligence organization there were ten unsolvable mysteries.

They already found out who the big boss of Red Flame was.

They did not expect to also figure out who the wife of Lu Zhan and mother of Lu Chengzhou was as well.
