Gu Mang watched as Huo Zhi’s face sank and as he smashed the lipsticks into the trash can. Then, he got into the car. The black Maybach quickly drove out of the basement car park.
It felt a bit like he was running away. Lu Yi stared in the direction Huo Zhi had fled in.
How vicious! How cruel!
Sense of involvement…
No man could bear that!
After Gu Mang got in the car, she turned to Gu Si and raised her eyebrows. “Nice one.”
Gu Si raised his chin very proudly. When he thought of Huo Zhi’s sullen face before he ran away, he couldn’t stop laughing.
I wonder which silly idiot gave Huo Zhi the idea of sending lipstick as a gift.
…
Meanwhile.
Huo Zhi sat in the car with his jaw tight and his face dark.
The subordinate sitting next to him lowered his head in fear. “Sir, I checked on Baidu beforehand. Lipstick means pursuit and love.”
The entire car seemed to be shrouded in a depressive cloud. The two people sitting in front did not dare to even breathe.
“Sir, I…”
“Shut up!” Huo Zhi squeezed out the two words. His eyes were so dark that they were scary.
The subordinate did not dare to speak again.
…
Lu Garden. Main Bedroom.
Lu Chengzhou was half leaning against the bed with his mobile phone pressed under his palm. The man’s eyebrows drooped and his fingers casually tapped the phone. He remembered Gu Mang’s last words earlier.
“Oh. I’m hanging up.”
Lu Chengzhou’s deep eyebrows were furrowed. His jaw tightened and his whole body was enveloped in unclear danger. She had hung up the phone quite readily. If she really dared to go with the other man, she would really be doomed if he brought her back.
The butler opened the door and asked respectfully, “Master, are you not going to tell the people at the old house about your injuries?”
Lu Chengzhou lay still. His eyes did not move and his voice was calm. “There’s no need to.”
“Alright.”
Lu Chengzhou turned to the butler. “Where are Qin Fang and He Yidu?”
The butler replied, “Young Master Qin and Young Master He are having breakfast downstairs.”
“Get them up here.”
“Yes.” the butler bowed and retreated.
After a while, Qin Fang and He Yidu came into the master bedroom.
Qin Fang held an apple in his hand and he nibbled it as he said, “What’s up, Brother Cheng?”
Lu Chengzhou answered, “Look into someone named Huo Zhi.”
When they heard the man’s name, Qin Fang and He Yidu paused.
…
Gu Si and Lu Yi stayed in the car.
Gu Mang went up the elevator alone. She took a medical notebook from her apartment and quickly went back down. Then, Lu Yi sent the siblings to the airport.
At 3pm.
Gu Mang and Gu Si arrived at the capital. When they stepped out of the airport, they saw Yu Mufeng’s sports car parked by the road. The sports car was the one that Gu Mang and Yu Shu had won during the horse race.
When Yu Mufeng saw Gu Mang, he strode forward in excitement with his arms wide open. “Little Grandmaster, you’re back!”
Gu Mang just stood in place and squinted. She was wearing a baseball cap. Her eyes were hidden under the cap’s shade and when she squinted, she looked threatening and intimidating. Yu Mufeng’s heart trembled suddenly and his Adam’s apple rolled. He immediately squatted down and hugged Gu Si. He did not forget to glance at Gu Mang carefully.
The thought of wanting to hug Gu Mang during their first encounter had become traumatic for him. He almost had his arm broken.
“Little Si, I missed you so much!” Yu Mufeng hugged Gu Si and said in an exaggerated tone.
The corner of Gu Si’s lips twitched. Gu Mang looked at them calmly. She stuck both of her hands into her pocket and walked towards the car. Yu Mufeng let go of Gu Si and glanced at the big black backpack behind him. He raised his eyebrows but did not say anything, Then, he walked forward with his arms around Gu Si.
Gu Mang stood in front of the car with her head tilted. She looked up and down the car and looked rather intrigued.
