“How could it be so easy?” Ye Junci flicked the ashes off her cigarette as she scoffed. “Just look at how many resources the Elders’ Association has poured into forcing Gu Mang to take the assessment.”
The benefits were always directly proportional to the risks.
Elder Ye pondered for a few seconds before looking up. “Does Ms. Gu and the Head Elder have another personal agreement?”
Ms. Gu had nothing. What were the terms that the Head Elder had given in the other agreement?
Ye Junci did not answer him. She took a puff of her cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. “How’s Red Flame?”
Elder Ye was caught off guard by her suddenly changing the topic.. He answered politely, “Everything is normal. After the passing of Old Madam, Young Master Lu has returned to Red Flame. He has only been to Mingyu Island once to attend a conference at No. 14 Research Center.”
“Mm.” Ye Junci nodded.
Silence ensued.
Ye Junci tapped her fingers on the table occasionally. “Previously, he called me ‘Mom’ because of Gu Mang. If he knows that I played a part in Gu Mang’s decision to return to Jijing Island once he regains his memory, won’t our relationship…”
Completely fall apart?
Elder Ye opened his mouth, but could not find any words. In the end, he could only console her. “Young Master Lu will understand your intentions. You meant well.”
“Understand? Him?” The corners of Ye Junci’s lip curled up meaningfully. A few moments later, she shook her head.
Even if she meant well, what she did could not necessarily be good. As long as Gu Mang was safel, the relationship that they had painstakingly mediated would be reset back to square one.
If anything happened to Gu Mang…
Ye Junci sighed.
To die for someone was easy because death was a form of freedom. To live for someone… That was the difficult thing.
Gu Mang had chosen the hardest path.
…
Once Old Master Bai received the news, he immediately rushed to the small villa with Bai Zhang and Elder Bai.
Gu Mang and the rest were eating when they arrived.
When they saw Old Master Bai and the two other people, they stood up in an orderly manner.
Elder Bai greeted them courteously, “Young Lady.”
“Grandpa, Uncle.” Gu Mang addressed them as she got up. Then, she gestured to the servant. “Add three more sets of cutlery.”
“Yes.” The servant turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Gu Mang looked at the three of them. “Have a seat first. Today’s dinner is quite simple. Please have a bite.”
Gu Mang was extremely composed as if she had not realized what she had just done.
At that moment, Old Master Bai did not know how to broach the reason why he had come. Hence, he sat down with Bai Zhang and Elder Bai first. The servant brought out three sets of cutlery and placed them in front of them.
Gu Mang returned to her seat. Using her left hand, she picked up a piece of ribs easily and started eating slowly.
The more composed she was, the more anxious Old Master Bai became.
“Gu Mang…”
“Grandpa.”
Old Master Bai could not help but say something, but he was interrupted by Gu Mang.
Gu Mang was resting her arm on the table. Her wrist drooped as she held her chopsticks. She looked up. “I have already signed the agreement. It is too late to say anything now.”
Old Master Bai was speechless.
Bai Zhang was extremely troubled. “You were too rash. Do you know what this is called in other people’s eyes?”
Gu Mang raised her refined eyebrows and chuckled. “I know. It’s called ‘seeking death.'”
“Why did you sign the agreement if you knew that?” Bai Zhang asked, frowning. To say that Base 102 was a lion’s den was an understatement.
Gu Mang took a bite of the ribs and said casually, “I don’t have much time left.”
When the rest heard this, they were dazed.
Don’t have much time left?
“Don’t you still have more than 6 months left?” Bai Zhang knew that there were still seven to eight months left before Gu Mang had to receive her yearly dose of medicine.
She had ample time to settle everything.
Gu Mang did not answer them. She simply picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and tasted it. “The fish tastes nice.”
Everyone was speechless.
