Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Besides Qin Fang and Qin Yaozhi, Qin Rui was also considered one of the most beloved children in the Qin family. Although he was extremely gentle and mild-tempered, everyone treated him with respect and no one dared to test his limits.
Everyone was surprised by how he treated Gu Mang.
Gu Mang smiled. She pa.s.sed the gifts in her arm to Lu Chengzhou and extended her arms to receive Qin Rui’s gift. She thanked him more seriously than she did Ji Heng. “Thank you.”
A refined smile spread across Qin Rui’s face.
Just then, the lift arrived. The group walked into the lift while chatting.
Lu Shangjin had already made reservations for a private room in advance. Hence, the waiter at World Restaurant led them to the private room straightaway. Upon opening the door to the private room, they realized that there was no one inside. Lu Shangjin and the others were probably still on their way.
Since it was snowing, they were probably driving slowly.
Gu Mang scanned the room. She did not enter and stood by the door. Then, she took out her phone and made a phone call.
After the phone rang twice, the other party picked up.
“Teacher, may I know where you are now?” Once again, she was acting in a sanctimonious manner just like an obedient student would. Besides Lu Chengzhou, everyone else was taken aback and looked at Gu Mang by the door.
The Ministry of Education did say that Gu Mang was Elder Tan’s student. They had thought that the two had a normal teacher-student relations.h.i.+p. Gu Mang was a good student and Elder Tan was just her teacher. However, upon witnessing Big Boss’s att.i.tude, they were bewildered.
Jiang Shenyuan had known Gu Mang for some time, but she had never seen her acting this way. Blinking, she could not regain her senses for a long time.
Was she really the Big Boss he knew?
Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang stared at her blankly.
After the other party said something, Gu Mang acknowledged him before hanging up. She shoved the phone back into her pocket and turned towards them. “I’m heading downstairs to usher someone in.”
The rest of them snapped back to reality and nodded.
Lu Chengzhou looked down at her. “I’ll go with you.”
Gu Mang glanced at him and agreed. Thereafter, they went downstairs to usher the guest in.
The crowd standing by the door was sure that she was still the Big Boss they knew after seeing her walk away with one hand in her pocket.
…
Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou took the dedicated lift to the first floor. When they reached the grand entrance, the guest was still nowhere to be seen.
It was still snowing. The ground was covered in white. Snow drifted onto Gu Mang’s head.
Lu Chengzhou noticed it and led her away from the snow. Turning towards her, he tugged at her scarf. “Are you cold?”
“I’m okay.” Gu Mang gave her usual answer.
Lu Chengzhou held her slightly cold hands and tightened his grip before putting both their hands into his pocket.
After waiting for approximately three minutes, Lu Shangjin’s drove into the plaza and stopped next to them.
The chauffeur got out of the car and helped Elder Tan out of the car politely.
Gu Mang pulled her hand out of Lu Chengzhou’s pocket. Bending her body slightly, she walked over and greeted him obediently. “Teacher.”
Elder Tan looked at her kindly and nodded. Then, he looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou suppressed his aura drastically and nodded. “Elder Tan.”
Elder Tan paused for a moment. There was a tinge of surprise in his gaze. Considering Lu Chengzhou’s status, why was he treating him with this att.i.tude?
Lu Shangjin peered at his nephew as well. Not only were his looks unrivalled in the capital, his status was also exceptional.
Besides his older brother, Lu Zhan, he had never treated someone this politely before.
When he met Elder Tan last time, his att.i.tude had been rather indifferent. It had changed drastically since then.
Was this a case of love me, love my dog? Was it because Elder Tan was a treasured teacher to Gu Mang? If they were still living in ancient times, this meant that Elder Tan’s status had just risen to Teacher of the Empress!
Just then, another unfamiliar middle-aged man got out of the front pa.s.senger seat. The moment he saw Lu Chengzhou, the expression on his face changed.
“Young Master Lu?”
Upon seeing Lu Chengzhou here, the middle-aged seemed shocked.
