Gu Mang stood languidly, holding the cell phone in her hand. She seemed to be returning some messages. She ignored their apologies. They looked at each other anxiously, at a loss of what to do.
The lady school leader suddenly realized something. She stared at Zhou Xintang angrily. “Why are you still standing there? You were wrong and you’re not coming to admit your mistake?”
Zhou Xintang squeezed her fingers as she stood still.
Since the principal’s job was at risk, he spared her no sympathy. “Zhou Xintang, if you don’t even have the courage to admit your mistakes, Experimental High School doesn’t need a student like you.”
Zhou Xintang’s eyelashes trembled. Her lower lip was almost bleeding from her biting it. She squeezed out the words softly, “Ms. Gu, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have stolen your design, please forgive me.”
She dug her nails into her palms. Gu Mang was still looking at her phone. The cold sweat on the principal’s forehead ran down his ears to his neck. He trembled nervously. Was that not good enough?
If Ms. Gu didn’t accept this, all of them would probably have to leave. Suddenly, the principal’s eyes lit up and he looked at Qi Songyan. Everyone turned to look at Qi Songyan.
Qi Songyan’s back was stiff. Everyone’s eyes were like knives pointed at his neck.
“Yes, I’m sorry, Ms. Gu. I was the one who falsely accused you. I’m sorry.” He lowered his head and said as he shook.
Gu Mang’s drooping eyes opened slowly. Her gaze focused for a moment. Standing up straight, she looked at Ji Heng casually. “You handle this. I’m going off.”
Ji Heng nodded. “Okay.”
Gu Mang put away her cell phone and stuffed her hands in her pocket. As she turned around, a slender hand grabbed her arm. She turned her face around and saw the handsome silhouette of Lu Chengzhou’s face.
“Let’s go together,” Lu Chengzhou said in a low voice. “It’s not safe at night.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows, her voice mild as she said, “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat at the roadside stall.”
Qin Fang was speechless. Brother Cheng, it would not be safe for who?
The group looked at the two big bosses discussing whether to eat barbecue or fried noodles, dumbfounded.
…
At the roadside stalls.
Business was good at night.
They had a special aura when together. When they appeared, all eyes turned to them. And when they see their faces, people were stunned.
There was a cigarette in between Gu Mang’s beautiful fingers and the smoke was lingering at her fingertips.
“The Big Sis” came to their minds upon seeing her.
Gu Mang wore a man’s suit and was expressionless. She extinguished the cigarette on the rubbish bin at the side of the road. She languidly walked over and found a seat to sit down.
Squinting, she looked through the menu and then snapped her fingers. Her voice was low and raspy as she said casually, “Hello, I want two chicken wings and fifty meat skewers. Are we drinking?”
She looked to Lu Chengzhou with her eyes that were as cold as lakes.
Lu Chengzhou didn’t reply. He took out his cell phone and made a call. “Send two cups of milk tea, one strawberry flavor and one mango flavor.”
The vendor stood with the bill, holding a pen in his hand. He asked, “No drinks?”
Lu Chengzhou’s voice was low and magnetic. “Add one plate of fried noodles.”
“Okay,” the vendor responded. He bent down and poured them two cups of hot tea.
When he turned and left, he couldn’t help but look back at the two again. He had never seen such good-looking people.
Gu Mang propped her face up on her hand and tutted. “Eating barbecue with milk tea?”
Lu Chengzhou grabbed her hand which was lying on the small table. “It’s so cold. You still want beer?”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and she gave a queer smirk, saying slowly, “A cold-blooded animal’s hands are always cold.”
