Ming City.
It was already night time when Lu Shangjin received Gu Mang and Gu Si.
“Gu Mang, Gu Si, you guys are finally here!”
Lu Shangjin was so excited that his hands were shaking and he almost went over to give the big boss a hand.
Gu Mang put her hands in the pockets of her black jacket and said lightly, “Uncle Lu is being too polite.”
“No, no, no, it’s fine. I’ll be entrusting you to deal with that th.o.r.n.y problem of mine.
Lu Shangjin personally went to open the car door for Gu Mang. The subordinate was dumbfounded as he watched.
Who was this lady who was commanding such a respect from Boss Lu?
They looked like kids. She was to handle the problem that even Boss Lu found difficult to deal with?
Gu Mang nodded to Lu Shangjin, “Relax.”
She turned around and took Gu Si into the car.
…
Lu Shangjin lived in a bungalow in the city center. The tall, heavy metal gate was imposing.
The helper opened the door.
“We’re here.” Lu Shangjin personally went to open the car door again and showed them the way.
Gu Si followed Gu Mang while carrying a black bag that was a little too big for him. He looked so pitiful as though he were being abused. Gu Mang paid him no mind, languidly playing a game on her phone.
Lu Shangjin couldn’t bear watching. “Gu Si, do you want me to carry your bag for you?”
Gu Si waved his hand and proudly said, “No, it’s my pleasure to help my sister carry her things!”
Lu Shangjin looked at Gu Mang who didn’t look back and his mouth twitched.
Gu Si pulled on the strap of the large school bag, panting as he followed behind Gu Mang.
The living room.
Lu Shangjin’s wife, Lin Zhou, sat on the sofa. When she saw the group coming in, she got up to receive them.
“You’re back.” Lin Zhou took off Lu Shangjin’s jacket and greeted Gu Mang with an unnatural expression, “Ms. Gu.”
Gu Mang looked up from the cell phone screen and smiled. “Madam Lu.”
Even though she had such a fine looking appearance, she gave off bad vibes.
The slight curve in the corner of her lips was pretty, yet there was cold ruthlessness about it.
Lin Zhou had already looked into Gu Mang’s profile.
She was a delinquent who got into fights and truancy was completely normal for her.
The only thing that was presentable about her were her delicate features.
She just couldn’t wrap her head around why her husband would want to be a.s.sociated with such a person! He even let her into the house!
What would they do if she were to be a bad influence to Lu Yi and Lu Yang!
Lu Shangjin didn’t notice the displeasure behind Lin Zhou’s eyes. He unb.u.t.toned his cuffs, rolled them up, and said, “Gu Mang, it’s late. You and Gu Si should go and rest. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
Gu Mang gave an absent-minded response in acknowledgment as she dealt a headshot to her opponent in the game.
…
The guest room on the third floor was large.
It seemed like the room had been prepared with great care. Anything they needed was availale.
Gu Si was young. Lu Shangjin had placed two beds in the room. It would be convenient for the sister to take care of the brother.
He showed them the way up himself and said, “If you need anything, just tell me. Don’t hesitate to ask.”
When Gu Mang was done playing the game, she threw the cell phone on the bed and asked, “When will things be arranged for Gu Si?”
“Ah? What things?” Gu Si looked confused.
Lu Shangjin ruffled the boy’s curly hair and said, “He’s too young, so the procedures would be quite troublesome. It should only take about two days.”
Seeing that no one was filling him in, he couldn’t be bothered to ask again. Gu Si kicked his feet up and started playing a game on his phone.
Gu Mang said, “Alright, once you’ve settled it we can talk about your business.”
Lu Shangjin hissed. “Hey, Gu Mang, that’s cold. Do you think Uncle Lu would lie to you?”
Gu Mang turned away, emotionless, and she took the computer from her backpack and placed it on the table.
She pulled out a chair and sat down with her legs propped up like a boss.
Gu Si probably learned it from her.
How snotty.
