Lu Chengzhou opened his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mufeng’s heart leapt into his throat. Before Lu Chengzhou could say anything, he quickly said, “No, no, no. Why would Brother Cheng bully me? I… I just miss my Dad!”
He came up with a random excuse. However, the reason sounded too far-fetched. There was an awkward silence after he said it.
Gu Mang looked at him indifferently and said calmly, “You will be able to see him very soon.”
The corner of Yu Mufeng’s lip twitched. “Right…”
Hugging the notes, he bade farewell to Gu Mang before turning around and leaving. When he got into the car, he sadjusted the rearview mirror and looked at himself while grazing his chin.
I looked pretty handsome. I didn’t look that bad, did I…
Anyone who liked him was blind?
…
The following night.
Gu Mang was applying medication for Lu Chengzhou. She noticed that his injuries seemed to have healed significantly since the last time. His physique…
Gu Mang raised her head and looked at him. “Do your injuries heal at a faster rate than others?”
She had not applied medication for him in the past. Hence, she had never noticed that Lu Chengzhou’s injuries healed faster than those of normal people.
“Mm.” Lu Chengzhou nodded. Then, he pulled down his singlet and covered the bruises on his abdomen.
He had a special physique.
Gu Mang was the same. She had injured her hand while horse racing. The reins had badly burned her. While others required close to two weeks to heal fully, she had only needed seven to eight days.
“I took my CT scan at the capital’s medical centre. My ribs are healing just fine.” Lu Chengzhou stared at her with a dark gaze. “Why don’t you check when I will be recovered fully from the residual effects? The food provided by the medical centre is too nasty.”
Gu Mang raised her exquisite eyebrows. “Okay.”
Lu Chengzhou took the initiative to reach out his arm. She glanced at him while checking his pulse. She noticed that he was slightly nervous. There was a subtle smile on her face.
After 10 minutes, Gu Mang pulled her hand back. It seemed like she had had enough fun. This time she did not joke with him and said in a low voice, “You should be fine now. You just have to eat one more week of the medical centre’s food.”
Lu Chengzhou was uncertain, so he asked again, “What do you mean by I should be fine now?”
Gu Mang answered with a straight face, “It means you have recovered. You just have to eat one more week of the medical centre’s food just to be sure.”
The worrisome thought that had been bugging Lu Chengzhou for the past two weeks finally vanished. Holding her hand, he pinched her fingertips lightly. Like her, he also had no expression on his deadpan face.
The words that came out of his mouth sounded like what a refined scumbag would say. “You can have s*x with me without any worries now.”
Gu Mang looked at him, speechless.
Tsk.
…
In the morning the next day.
After Gu Mang finished having her breakfast, she went upstairs to change her clothes. Lu Chengzhou half-leaned on the bed as he watched her change into a white hoodie. She walked out of the closet wearing a black baseball cap.
He asked, “Are you heading out?”
Gu Mang hummed before she paused and added, “I’m going to the Jiangs. Uncle Jiang is waiting for me.”
The Jiangs were a family of lawyers. Old Master Jiang held a prestigious status in the capital. The Jiangs had two sons and one daughter, and they were all famous lawyers. They specialized in different areas.
Only Jiang Shenyuan followed in the Old Master’s footsteps and specialized in Criminal Procedures. The second son specialized in Administrative Proceedings. The youngest daughter specialized in Civil Procedures. She was an expert in divorce lawsuits.
Old Master Jiang had contributed tremendously to society. He was also the one who had handled Meng Jinyang’s case. Mrs. Jiang was a famous lawyer as well. She had her first child with the Old Master in her forties. Now that they were in their old age, they had retired and moved to a second-tier city. They were no longer involved in lawsuits.
Jiang Shenyuan continued Old Master Jiang’s legacy and became the country’s top lawyer.
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang. “Ask the chauffeur to take you there.”
Gu Mang put on her baseball cap and said, “Okay.”
