Chapter 146: Your Uncle’s Family is Related to You by Blood

Gu Si peeled the orange rapidly and handed it to Gu Mang, taking the half peeled orange off her hands.

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows.

“Are you close to Jiang Shenyuan?” The old master mulled over his words as he looked at Gu Mang with his sharp eyes. “Do you know the Lu family and the Qin family from the capital, then?”

Gu Si narrowed his eyes. This guy took forever to get to his main point.

Gu Mang’s eyes were a deep black as she separated a piece of orange and threw it into her mouth. “I do.”

The other people did not know who the Lu family and Qin family were. However, the old master had specially mentioned that they were from the capital so they were likely influential people.

Was Gu Mang mixing with an influential crowd now? She even appeared in Sheng Ting’s MV.

Previously, they had thought that Gu Mang was a difficult person, whom, without the protection of her parents, would one day commit an offence and be sent away to some facility. They had never expected her to climb up and get acquainted with the bigwigs in the capital.

Seeing that she admitted to it, the old master was secretly relieved. He said in an even more gentle voice, “Gu Mang, the Lu family and the Qin family are influential families. You helped that girl from the Meng family, so you should be helping your uncle. Your uncle’s family is related to you by blood so you should be helping each other mutually and financially.”

With the Lu and Qin families backing them, the Leis after Lei Xiao’s generation would have unlimited futures and bring honor to their ancestors.

Gu Mang lifted her eyelids. Her eyes looked dark and bright, but cold as well. She repeated slowly, “Related by blood, helping each other mutually and financially…”

Her tone was so calm that there could be no other meaning to her words.

However, the old master’s face mysteriously burned under her gaze. He said unconfidently, “Gu Si, don’t blame your uncle for only taking Gu Yin in. Your uncle doesn’t have a high salary and he already did his best by providing for Gu Yin.”

Gu Mang hummed mildly, her face expressionless.

The old master’s words were like a punch to fluffy cotton. He was in a fix because of her attitude and anger boiled in his chest. Lei Xiao understood as well. With Gu Mang’s temper being the way it was, the relationship between them could not be thawed easily. It would take many steps.

They could absolutely not lose the Lu and Qin family’s support.

He said, “Dad, it’s Lei Cong’s birthday today so let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about something else. Lei Cong likes Sheng Ting a lot. Gu Mang, get an autograph for your cousin.”

“Sister Gu Mang, I want one too!”

Several cousins crowded around Gu Mang.

“Sister Gu Mang, can you teach us how to dance?”

“I told my classmates that the female lead in Sheng Ting’s MV is my cousin, but they didn’t believe me. Cousin, I want to take a photo with you to show them.”

A few relatives also followed suit and praised Gu Mang, saying that her dancing was great.

Gu Yin sat on the side in silence. Her eyelids were lowered and there was a terrifying coldness in her gaze.

The Lu family, the Qin family. Were they referring to Lu Yang and Qin Yaozhi?

The bigwigs from influential families like them would never do anything for Gu Mang over those two inconsequential descendants.

…

In the evening, the domestic helpers finished preparing their food. Xia Mingzhu walked into the house carrying a cake.

“Hubby.” She walked up to Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiao reached out to take the cake and called everyone to the dining room to eat.

At the dining table, Old Madam Lei smiled amiably. “Gu Mang, have more food. Oh right, Grandma hasn’t heard you talk about how you have been at your new school. You didn’t… anger your teachers, did you?”

The Old Madam was tactful in her speech.

Gu Mang picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and pushed it around her bowl distractedly. “It’s still okay.”

“Gu Mang is much improved from before. She’s good at dancing and is even trending online. She’s very pretty.”

“That’s right.”

The daughters in the Lei family took turns praising her.

An uncle looked at her with a smile. “Gu Mang, how are your studies? How are your results? Ming City High School is a good school. Your cousin wanted to get in previously, but didn’t manage to.”
