Chapter 545: All Parties Are Investigating You
The bald man said, “Yes, but Miss Gu should be returning to the capital for school.”
He did not quite understand why Ms. Gu chose Capital University and let Gu Yin get into the medical organization.
n.o.body could predict Ms. Gu’s actions.
“At this age, it is good for her to make some friends at school,” Huo Zhi said. “Have my gifts to Gu So arrived?”
The bald man bit his lip and looked down. “Sorry, I failed. None of our men were able to get close to Ms. Gu and Master Gu Si. The gifts could not be sent out.”
Huo Zhi had expected as much. He went silent for a few seconds and said, “Forget it. She would just throw them away anyway.”
The bald man was shocked. He looked up.
Why did boss get it so easily this time?
“No, I still have to give a gift. There HAS to be a gift.” Huo Zhi turned his face and looked at him. “She has a colder personality. I just have to put my heart into it.”
The bald man thought that there was an issue with this method but he did not know what to say. He could only agree and change the conversation topic. “Sir, we cannot locate Master Gu Si. How do we report to the elders at the meeting?”
Huo Zhi said, “Gu Si is with Red Flame. Keep a close eye on Mingyu Island. Once he is found, bring him back.”
Those at the Elder’s Meeting did not dare to mess with Gu Mang.
“Yes,” the bald man replied respectfully. “Also are we attending the birthday banquet for the patriarch of the Qin family in the capital?”
Huo Zhi laughed lightly. “Why? Do we have to stoop to the level of attending the Qin family’s banquet now?”
The bald man scratched his bald head.
As the most well-developed branch of the Lu family, no one in the capital dared to take the Qin family lightly.
But in front of them, the Qin family was not good enough.
“But,” the bald man said hesitantly. “I heard that the Qin family invited Ms. Gu. The young lady in their family is also Ms. Gu’s friend.”
…
Three days later, Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang left the airport.
Lu Chengzhou carried a black backpack and held Gu Mang’s hand. Lu Yi was already waiting at the exit. The limousine by the roadside had an eye catching license plate.
Gu Mang had her black baseball cap on and she looked down to play with her phone. The cap covered her eyes and only her beautiful lower jawline could be seen.
Lu Yi stepped forward. “Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded and opened the car door. He pinched Gu Mang’s finger and lifted his chin. Softly, he said, “Get in.”
“Oh.” Gu Mang got into the back seat and sat in a comfortable manner to continue playing her mobile game.
Along the way, Lu Yi said respectfully, “Young Master Lu, Old Master Qin’s banquet will be held at Tianyu Hotel tomorrow.”
Lu Chengzhou hummed.
Lu Yi actually really wanted to ask a question.
Sir, did you know that you have never attended any banquets, not even the Lu family’s?
Many powerful parties in the capital were investigating Ms. Gu. Her ident.i.ty was only known to five families: the Qin family, the He family, the Yu family, the Ji family, and the Jiang family.
No one knew what kind of commotion would occur if people saw Ms. Gu and their Young Master Lu together at the banquet*.*
Gu Mang was gaming when a notification popped up on her screen.
Ji Heng: [I heard that Old Master Qin sent you a personal invitation. Are you going tomorrow night?]
Gu Mang tapped on her keyboard. [Yes.]
Qin Yaozhi texted her too.
Ji Heng replied very quickly. [Do I have to prepare clothes for you?]
Gu Mang answered, [Nope.]
Ji Heng replied, [Oh, that was unnecessary of me. Lu Chengzhou will probably prepare for you.]
This time, Gu Mang did not reply.
Ji Heng sent another message. [It’s more complicated at the Capital. You are quite popular lately. Many parties have been investigating you. Yu Shu will be there tomorrow as well.]
Gu Mang asked, [Who is Yu Shu?]
