Gu Mang looked away expressionlessly and turned to Lin Shuang. “I’m returning to Jijing Island. Where are you going?”
Lin Shuang raised her eyebrow. “I’m going to Ming City. I have something to do there.”
Gu Mang lifted her chin at Gu Si. “Pack up.”
“Right away, sis.” Gu Si rushed to his room and returned with his black backpack in less than a minute. “Sis, I’m done.”
Gu Si grabbed onto the straps of his bag and looked at Gu Mang. Gu Mang got up without saying anything and walked towards the door. Gu Si followed closely behind Gu Mang.
Huo Zhi looked at Gu Mang the entire time. When he saw her leaving, he frowned slightly and stood up. “Gu Mang, where are you going?”
She did not even turn around.
Since the siblings were leaving, Lin Shuang also decided to leave. She stood up and adjusted her hair.
She looked at Huo Zhi from the corner of her eyes and smirked. Then, she left with the siblings.
The bald man was guarding the door from outside. When he suddenly heard the door being pulled open, he turned around and saw Gu Mang leave. He bowed quickly and greeted her. “Ms. Gu.”
No one dared to stop them. Everyone watched as Gu Mang, Gu Si, and Lin Shuang entered the lift.
The bald man went into the room hurriedly and looked at Huo Zhi. “Sir, uhh…”
Huo Zhi did not answer. He looked gloomy.
The bald man seldom saw Huo Zhi with such an expression and cold sweat formed on his back. “Sir, should we send someone to follow Ms. Gu?”
Huo Zhi just stared in the direction of the door and for a while, he did not speak at all.
The bald man stood stiffly and he did not even dare to breathe heavily.
Just then, Elder Gu came up from another elevator. The moment he walked through the door, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
It was only then when the bald man dared to speak up. “Ms. Gu has left with Young Master.”
“What?” Elder Gu’s expression changed suddenly. “Where did they go?”
The bald man looked at Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi had already calmed down and he could guess what Gu Mang was about to do. “She doesn’t want to return to Jijing Island on the same private jet as us so she left first.”
Gu Mang never accepted his gifts. She either gave them to others or threw them into the trash.
Did she really dislike him that much?
When Elder Gu heard that Gu Mang had returned to Jijing Island, his face relaxed.
…
At the airport.
They hung out by the VIP channel.
Lin Shuang stopped all of a sudden and turned sideways to look at Gu Mang. “Any plans when you return?”
“I’m finishing up the physiology competition first,” Gu Mang said with her hands in her pockets. She still looked nonchalant and unruly as usual, but she exuded an even colder aura than ever before.
The physiology competition was still at the debate stage. The oral examination and clinical trials came after the debate. The teams would compete match by match until the finals.
Afterwards, the Elders’ Association would probably arrange some training for her and Gu Si.
Gu Mang looked down. Her eyes were very dark. Her expression could not be seen.
The training was a big waste of time.
Lin Shuang was not surprised by what Gu Mang said.
Gu Mang liked to finish what she started. Since she had taken part in the competition, she would stay until the end.
“Alright.” Lin Shuang nodded and suddenly thought of something. Her gaze landed on Gu Mang’s face. “If you want to know what Lu Chengzhou is doing, let me know. I’ll coax the information out of He Yidu.”
Gu Si narrowed his eyes slightly and asked nosily, “Sister Lin, are you and that guy…”
Gu Mang stared at her as well.
“What are you thinking?” Lin Shuang was speechless. “I’ve helped him before and we are on friendly terms. It’s easy to talk to him.”
“Oh, I see.” Gu Si dragged his words and couldn’t decide if he believed her.
He Yidu had asked him about Sister Lin several times. The reason for asking was obvious.
However, Sister Lin really seemed like she did not have other intentions for talking with him.
Gu Mang’s eyes were rather calm. Her voice was a little low and hoarse. “Thanks, but you don’t have to tell me anything about him again. He has already forgotten me. Whatever he does has nothing to do with me either.”
Lin Shuang was stunned.
Gu Mang put on her baseball cap and turned to walk into the VIP channel. She waved with her back facing Lin Shuang.
Gu Si rushed after Gu Mang and made faces at Lin Shuang. He mouthed the words, “Tell me! I want to know!” to her.
Lin Shuang looked at the child who was acting like an adult and the corner of her lips curled upwards.
…
At the same time.
In the waiting hall on the second floor of the airport.
Lu Chengzhou sat on a solo sofa with a teacup in hand. He was looking downwards. Qin Fang was sitting by the panoramic glass and he could see a black private car parked on the ground floor when he looked down.
Gu Mang and Gu Si bent down and the car drove them towards the private jet from Jijing Island.
He Yidu looked at Lu Chengzhou. He acted as usual and drank his tea slowly.
Qin Fang looked away and glanced at the pack of cigarettes on the triangular coffee table. His eyebrows moved a little. He took out a cigarette and passed it to Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng.”
Lu Chengzhou looked up.
The way he looked at Qin Fang made Qin Fang want to chop his hand off so that he could withdraw immediately. He continued to hold the cigarette out for Lu Chengzhou.
It felt like he was holding his hand out for eternity.
Just as Qin Fang was about to put his hand down, Lu Chengzhou took the cigarette from him. Then, he picked up a lighter and lit it.
When Lu Yī and Lu Qi came over, they saw that their Young Master Lu was starting to smoke again.
He totally behaved as if he had fully forgotten about Ms. Gu!
For some reason, Lu Qi found watching his Young Master Lu smoking very disturbing.
Lu Yī felt the same way as Lu Qi. He gathered his thoughts and bowed respectfully. “Young Master Lu, the arrangements for the private jet are done.”
After Matriarch Lu was buried, Young Master Lu had told them to return to Mingyu Island.
He had left all the mourning guests with Lu Zhan and the rest behind soon after the funeral.
Lu Chengzhou finished his last sip of tea and he put down the cup. Then, he got up and walked forward.
Qin Fang looked down again.
Brother Cheng had forgotten Gu Mang and Uncle Lu told them not to mention the black market again. They would probably never visit Jijing Island again.
They also had no idea when they would meet Gu Mang again.
They just hoped that it wouldn’t be at Huo Zhi and Gu Mang’s wedding…
…
On the private jet back to Jijing Island.
Jiang Sui walked over to the sofa with a bottle of water and two bottles of cola in hand.
Gu Mang’s legs were crossed and she was gaming on the sofa.
Jiangsui handed the drinks to Gu Si and placed the cola in front of Gu Mang.
Gu Si glanced at the bottle of dark liquid and looked up. “Brother Jiang Sui, could you change it to something warm for my sister?”
“Why?” Jiangsui twisted the cap of his bottle and drank from it.
Gu Si was just about to say something when Gu Mang suddenly picked up the cola and drank it. She did so while continuing to play.
Gu Si blinked and looked at Gu Mang with a complicated look. “Sis, erm… shouldn’t you stay away from cold drinks?”
When Gu Mang heard that, she looked over slowly and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gu Si understood what she meant by that right away.
The corner of his lips twitched. He forgot that his sister was the ‘Miracle Doctor.’ She knew her health better than anyone else.
Since she was drinking something cold, it meant that she could drink cold drinks now.
Why would she need his warnings?
