Xiang Yin was speechless as he watched the two of them bicker like children. “Xiang Yi is not of age yet. Cui Lin, be careful.”
Cui Lin’s pupils dilated in an instant. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled evilly. “Miss Gu doesn’t seem to be of age either.”
Xiang Yin shot a cold gaze at Cui Lin. Cui Lin immediately looked elsewhere and pretended to talk to Bai Yun as if nothing had happened.
The banquet was coming to an end. Everyone had different thoughts hidden in their hearts.
Before the banquet ended, Huang Yue had already left early and arranged for someone to investigate if anyone else had appeared beside Xiang Yin while she was away.
The next morning, Gu Man went to school as usual, but she was stopped by a black car at the door.
The car window rolled down, revealing the face of an unfamiliar old man. Hence, she pulled the strap of her school bag with one hand and stuck the other into her pocket, standing rooted to the ground.
There was no expression on her face, as if she was not the one being stopped.
Old Master Zhang was shocked by Gu Man’s calmness and became interested in this girl. She was not as unbearable as the Gu Family said.
“Aren’t you curious who I am when I suddenly stopped you?” Old Master Zhang looked at the plainly dressed girl through the lowered car window. However, why did she look out of place in the luxuriously decorated district?
The words that the Gu Family had said flashed through his mind again and again. Although she was a calm person, she did not know how to use her thoughts on the right path.
“If you have something to say, say it. If not, move aside.” Gu Man looked at the time on her phone and was a little impatient.
Old Master Zhang was even more surprised. This was the first time someone was so impatient with him. However, perhaps because they did not know his ident.i.ty, he stabilized the emotions on his face. “I’ve already helped you apply for leave from school. Get in the car.”
“You helped me apply for leave?” Gu Man smiled. Not to mention that she did not know who he was, what right did he have to help her apply for leave?
“Yes.” Old Master Zhang sat in the car without moving, but the chauffeur sitting in front had already pushed open the car door and pulled it open, gesturing for her to enter.
Gu Man stood rooted to the ground and rolled her eyes. She walked around the car and was about to leave, but the chauffeur quickly stopped her. “Miss Gu, please.”
Gu Man sized up the person in front of her and wondered if she should knock him down and go to school, or enter the car to see what this person’s motive was.
The chauffeur did not understand what Gu Man meant. He still reached out his hands to stop Gu Man.
Seeing his posture, Gu Man did not hesitate anymore. She stretched out her leg and kicked his chest. Under the chauffeur’s stunned expression, Gu Man retracted her foot and walked around the chauffeur’s fallen body.
Although Old Master Zhang was sitting in the car, he saw this scene clearly. “Interesting, really interesting.”
The chauffeur covered his chest and was about to stand up to stop Gu Man again when Old Master Zhang stopped him. “There’s no need. You’re not her match.”
The chauffeur stood rooted to the ground indignantly, his hands clenched into fists, but he quickly put them down. “Elder Zhang, it was actually just too sudden just now. 1 wasn’t prepared.”
He was still unwilling to admit that he could not compare to a little girl.
Old Master Zhang looked disappointed. “You know very well how strong her kick was just now. As a bystander, I can see it clearly. How can you not understand?”
The chauffeur opened his mouth but did not say anything. He obediently returned to the driver’s seat.
Old Master Zhang looked at his slightly angry face through the rearview mirror in the car and shook his head. It was difficult for such a person to achieve anything.
However, Gu Man surprised him.
At the last minute before cla.s.s, Gu Man swaggered into the cla.s.sroom. Jiang Zi stood at the top of the podium and met Gu Man’s gaze. “Student Gu really has a sense of time.”
“You flatter me.” Gu Man returned to her seat calmly and threw her bag into the drawer. She leaned on the table and prepared to sleep..
