Chapter 70: I’m the Last. Is There Anything Wrong With That?
Meng Jinyang was stunned for a moment. “Gu Mang, aren’t we having dinner with Lawyer Jiang?”
“There’ll be more people. Uncle Lu will be there too.” Gu Mang cocked her head to the side. The sun was not up in the evening so she wore the baseball cap backwards and stood in a relaxed manner.
Meng Jinyang replied, “Oh.”
Just as they were talking, Lu Chengzhou crossed the road and came up to them. “Come on, let’s go to World Restaurant. Jiang Shenyuan is already there.”
Gu Mang nodded lightly. Her hands in her pockets, she led Meng Jinyang to the other side of the road.
Lu Yang suddenly shouted, “Are you guys going to eat? I’m going too!”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes narrowed as he looked at him and he said slowly, “The car is full.”
Lu Yang immediately waved and hailed a taxi that passed by and he tilted up his chin. “I’ll take a taxi, then.”
With that said, he opened the door and got in the car, looking annoyingly arrogant.
Lu Chengzhou sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
...
Gu Yin arrived at the entrance of the school to see Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang getting into a car. She could tell from a glance that the men in the car weren’t ordinary people. How did Gu Mang know these people?
She still didn’t understand how Gu Mang had managed to enter Ming City High School. Her uncle had taken great pains to get her into the school. How did Gu Mang get in with such poor grades? She even brought Meng Jinyang in with her. She stared in the direction the SUV was leaving in.
“Cousin, get in the car.” The cousin who was in Year One got into the Lei family’s car and called out to Gu Yin when he saw that she was still standing there.
Gu Yin snapped to attention, chuckled, and said softly, “Okay.”
So what if they entered the school?
They would be expelled again soon.
...
At World Restaurant.
Lu Yang was first to arrive. He called Lu Shangjin and asked for a private room number and went straight upstairs. After a while, Gu Mang and the others came through the door.
“Gu Mang, Jinyang.” Jiang Shenyuan smiled and greeted them one by one.
He thought it was quite strange. How did Gu Mang know the Lu family and manage to be earn a seat at the same table as them?
The girl nodded at him.
As she walked over to sit down, Lu Chengzhou pulled the chair out for her. She looked at him with a cool gaze. The man’s eyebrows were raised and his thin lips were a gentle curve.
Gu Mang sat down without saying anything, took off her cap, and hung it on the chair. Lu Chengzhou sat next to her. Qin Fang and He Yidu looked at each other, their eyes were full of amazement. Was Brother Cheng being particularly attentive to Gu Mang or were their eyes deceiving them?
Overseeing the capital, the third youngest of the Lu family was always the one whom people ingratiate themselves to. When did he ever pull out a chair for someone else?! The two men stared blankly and sat down. Had Brother Cheng really taken a fancy to the little girl?
The people at the table all know each other, so they had no need to exchange pleasantries.
Holding his chopsticks, Qin Fang’s wrists hung naturally as he touched on a sore spot. “Lu Yang, congratulations, I heard that you improved by one ranking this time.”
Lu Yang immediately choked on the rice and coughed.
Lu Shangjin laughed upon hearing that, “Who could be worse than you at studies to be ranked last?”
Lu Yang looked at Gu Mang and kept quiet. Seeing his son’s expression, Lu Shangjin’s smile stiffened as he lowered his head and kept silent. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Gu Mang fiddled with the sweet and sour fish in the bowl, picked out a fishbone, and looked up. Her smirk was wicked. “I’m ranked last. Is there anything wrong with that?”
The girl’s fine-looking eyebrows were raised, making her look wild and feral.
No one talked at the table.
Lu Shangjin poured a cup of sweet soy milk for Gu Mang silently. “Gu Mang, you’ve been eating a lot, have a drink.”
