Chapter 356: The Power of Seven Billion Dollars
After half an hour, the car drove across the junction and approached the entrance of the President’s House. Joston, along with his wife and two daughters, stood by the door and welcomed them very formally. Their att.i.tudes were superb.
Sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, Lu Yī was surprised as he looked out the window. He could not help but exclaim, “The President’s House really treats their guests well.”
Lu Qi nodded, in a daze as he drove. Strangely, he remembered that Country K’s President’s House was infamous for handling matters very arrogantly, without a care in the world. Although he had never interacted with them, he could tell from the global reputation of Country K.
The labels of ‘strong’, ‘vehement,’ and ‘barbarous’ could be attached to the President’s House. It was strange that they were suddenly so welcoming today.
Expressionless, Gu Mang looked up. Upon seeing this scene, she narrowed her eyes slowly. Ah, was this the power of seven billion dollars?
Lu Chengzhou was rather surprised as well. Clearly they really regarded Gu Mang as an important guest.
The car pulled over slowly. Lu Yī and Lu Qi got out of the car from both sides and opened the car doors respectfully.
…
Gu Yin happened to have a view of the junction from her room’s window. She stood by the window and looked at the car as it pulled towards the entrance and stopped.
Upon seeing Lu Yī get out of the front pa.s.senger seat, she frowned. She had seen him before. When she saw Lu Chengzhou step out of the car after Lu Yī opened the car door for him, her eyes widened in bewilderment.
It was him?
After two second, she realized something. Her gaze s.h.i.+fted to the other side of the car. When Gu Mang’s face appeared in her vision, her eye pupils shrunk.
Gu Mang? Why was she here? The President’s House clearly announced that a doctor was coming today. Could Gu Mang and her boyfriend be accompanying the doctor?
Her Uncle had mentioned that Gu Mang’s boyfriend’s last name was ‘Lu’ and he was from the capital. The doctor that Noelle hired was also from the capital.
Gu Yin’s hand shook uncontrollably. She fixed her gaze on the car behind Gu Mang’s, waiting for a doctor to get out of the car. However, no doctor appeared. The occupants of the car behind Gu Mang’s were uniformed subordinates.
As Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang stood under the sun, the subtle light rays encapsulated them. They looked absolutely stunning. Instantly, a scary guess surfaced in Gu Yin’s mind, sending chills down her spine. Dazed, she froze on the spot.
If the doctor’s last name was ‘Lu,’ there was no need for Gu Mang to visit the President’s House. Unless the doctor that the President’s House hired was Gu Mang, Mr. Lu would not have to accompany her.
However…
…
Standing beside the car, Gu Mang stared at the sun with squinted eyes. She pushed the brim of her white baseball cap down to s.h.i.+eld herself from the glaring sun rays. Only then did the frustration on her face disappear. Lu Chengzhou walked over to her side and held her hand. Then, they headed towards the entrance of the President’s House.
Standing in his original spot, Joston reached out and asked courteously, “Mr. Lu, Ms. Gu.”
The corners of Lu Chengzhou’s lips were curved slightly. He raised his hand. “Mr. President, Madam First Lady.”
He glanced at An An’s wrist, which was hanging off her shoulder in an arm sling. His eyes s.h.i.+fted subtly.
The first time Joston got his hands on Gu Mang’s profile was 2 weeks ago. He had only heard that she had a high level of medical expertise and that she was a Year Three student at a high school in Ming City. At that time, Gu Mang was simply a normal person that was not worth his attention.
Even when Noelle told him that Gu Mang was the top-scorer on the national joint examinations and that she had rejected the medical organization, he felt that the girl was merely a high IQ genius.
The objective of the President’s House was to treat the First Lady’s illness. Mrs. Hill’s gaze fell on Gu Mang.
The girl’s appearance was very eye-catching. She exuded an aloof aura from head to toe. She looked languid and did not seem to pose any threat. Her aura was not as cold and brash as that of the Miracle Doctor. There was a stark difference between them.
Her suspicions dissipated immediately. Joston and Noelle shared the same sentiments.
