Chapter 71: You Have the Face to Come to Such a Place?
Jiang Shenyuan stifled his laughter. “No wonder you asked me to attend a parent-teacher meeting with you and Jinyang. They are so far apart that it will not affect the signing.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows.
“Oh, right, how did Jinyang do on her exams this time?” Lu Shangjin asked.
Before Meng Jinyang could open her mouth, Lu Yang spoke first, enunciating every word, “First in our year.”
Lu Shangjin was slightly surprised and he shot a glance towards Gu Mang. He then said amicably, “Jinyang has scored well. Keep up the good work.”
Meng Jinyang smiled humbly.
Lu Chengzhou picked up a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice with the serving chopsticks and gave it to Gu Mang. In a low, magnetic voice, he said, “It’s very troublesome for one person to attend a parent-teacher meeting for two people. Coincidentally, free tomorrow.”
A bunch of people looked towards Lu Chengzhou. What was that supposed to mean?!
Gu Mang cast a sideways glance at him. Her clear and bright eyes had a wicked quality to them. “You want to attend the parent-teacher meeting with me?” she asked in a careless and languid tone.
Lu Chengzhou looked at her and smiled. “Do you want me to?”
The pair looked at each other for a few seconds. Gu Mang said indifferently, “Sure, if you’re not shocked by my rank as last in the cohort.”
Everyone’s chopsticks hovered in mid-air as they looked at Gu Mang, stunned. Why did she… actually agree? Were they that familiar with each other?
Lu Shangjin’s gaze was once of shock, as though he had smelled something abnormal.
…
It was already 8 o’clock when they left World Restaurant.
It was a Friday and the mall was crowded with quite a few debutantes and upper-class ladies.
Some of the people went off first to get their cars from the parking lot. Lu Chengzhou went to a famous dessert shop to buy something for Gu Mang to eat.
Just then, a group of people walked out of a dedicated elevator for World Restaurant. They were led by Lei Xiao.
Gu Mang did not notice him as she was looking down at her phone and playing a game. Meng Jinyang’s memory of him was already fuzzy by now, so she did not recognize him.
Lei Xiao suddenly saw someone who looked a lot like Gu Mang and thought that his eyesight had deteriorated. Squinting, he looked over. When he saw clearly the rebellious face of Gu Mang, his gaze deepened.
“Old He, head inside with the rest first. I’ll catch up with you soon,” he said to his friend.
Old He replied, “Don’t take too long.”
Lei Xiao laughed and patted his shoulder. “Alright.”
After watching the group of people enter, Lei Xiao’s face immediately turned grave. He walked over to Gu Mang briskly and said coldly, “Gu Mang, why are you here?’
Meng Jinyang looked at Lei Xiao in puzzlement. “Who are you?”
Lei Xiao did not even spare Meng Jinyang a glance.
Gu Mang heard the voice and lifted her gaze slowly to glance at him before looking back down and resuming her game. In an indifferent tone, she said, “Why can’t I be here?”
Lei Xiao hated how condescending she was and raised his hand, wanting to snatch her phone away.
Gu Mang dodged his hand easily. She widened her cold eyes, emanating an antisocial aura, and said in a light, slow drawl, “What do you want, Uncle?”
Meng Jinyang was stunned. This was Gu Mang’s uncle?
Lei Xiao lowered his voice and growled nastily, “I asked you why you are here. Do you know what kind of place this is? How can you come to such a place?”
“Is it your business where I go?” Gu Mang’s face was expressionless but her aura was cold.
Lei Xiao’s expression soured even more. “Stop being so arrogant! How can you afford anything at such a place?!”
Could she even afford a single thing from the most extravagant mall in Ming City?
Gu Mang lifted an eyebrow and smirked as she said, “You don’t have to worry about whether I’m able to afford anything.”
The girl’s pretty face emanated rebellion and arrogance.
“Let’s go, Jinyang,” she said blandly before turning around carelessly and walking towards the elevator in a cold and condescending manner.
Lei Xiao glared at her silhouette. He suddenly thought of something and ran after her in two or three steps. He grabbed her wrist and said in a low growl, “Gu Mang, if you ever dare to do something that disgraces the family name, don’t blame me for not giving you face!”
