Chapter 97: Give the Lei Family a Lesson
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Shuang was suntanning at the beach when her phone buzzed with a notification.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing her seductive eyes which were lined with blue eyeliner, and picked up her phone.
Gu Mang: “When did you sell the house at Seal Palace?”
Upon Gu Mang mentioning the sale, Lin Shuang felt extremely proud. “I sold it right after I got it! I earned 50 million in one clean swoop from that sale! Praise me!”
She had executed the sale beautifully! She had gotten a lot of money from it!
Gu Mang: “Do you know who bought your house?”
Lin Shuang was stunned. She didn’t know why Gu Mang was asking this. “Who?”
Gu Mang was expressionless. “Lu Chengzhou.”
Lin Shuang was speechless.
In the car, Gu Mang shifted her position to be more comfortable and then said indifferently, “I’m neighbors with Lu Chengzhou.”
The corner of Lin Shuang’s lips twitched and she sent two words, “Take care.”
Gu Mang said nothing.
Lin Shuang had been hot-headed and bought the two most expensive condominiums at Seal Palace before gifting one to her.
However, Lin Shuang had then unexpectedly sold her condominium to someone else. Lu Chengzhou’s condominium was larger than hers by a little and had even more luxurious decor. He was obviously a rich man.
Song Han interviewed Meng Jinyang in the guest room.
Gu Mang crossed her fingers as she stood in front of the French windows in the living room. Her eyelids were lowered as she looked at the river scenery below. The view here was better than the one from her condominium too.
Lu Chengzhou poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her. “Your teacher handed me your monthly examination results 2 days ago and told me to encourage you to study.”
The parent-teacher meeting was a flop and the teachers could only contact each parent one by one according to the attendance sheet on the day of the meeting.
Gu Mang took the cup and said indifferently, “Oh.”
She had the qualities of a bad student.
Lu Chengzhou looked at her and cocked his eyebrows. “Do you not like studying that much?”
“No,” said Gu Mang in a relatively bland tone. She drank the water in one gulp. “Let me borrow a place somewhere. I’m a little tired.”
She had gone to bed at 4 a.m. after receiving a call the day before. Song Han was slow in the interview and it would likely take more than an hour.
Lu Chengzhou’s gaze landed on the pale green tint below her eyes and his gaze deepened. “Follow me.”
Gu Mang nodded.
He brought her towards the master bedroom. In a low voice, he said, “You should move out if you can’t sleep well in the dorm.”
Gu Mang punched the corners of her eyes. “It’s still okay.”
“Tired because I mentioned studying?” Lu Chengzhou smiled as he asked.
Gu Mang gave him a look. There seemed to be a wicked smirk on her face hiding an unknown meaning.
…
Lu Chengzhou sat on a padded chair on the balcony. His face was propped up in his hand and there was a cigarette between his slender fingers. His deep black eyes flitted over Gu Mang. He looked like a wolf staring at his prey. His gaze was refined, yet perverse. The girl was sleeping on the bed.
She was lying on her side and half her face was covered by the blanket. Her features were exquisite and had a cold and wicked quality. Beautiful. However, the bruising under her eyes was a little offensive to the eye.
He held his cigarette with his lips and sent Qin Fang a message. “Teach the Lei family a lesson.”
Qin Fang and He Yidu had just finished a business talk with someone. Upon receiving the message, the former gave the latter a look. The pair exchanged a glance.
He asked, “Brother Cheng, are you trying to stand up for Gu Mang?”
Lu Chengzhou replied, “Mm. She’ll be able to sleep well if they cause less trouble.”
Qin Fang’s eyes widened in shock and he looked at He Yidu in disbelief. “Old He, did you see this? He can’t stand it when Gu Mang doesn’t sleep well.”
He Yidu patted his shoulder. “Let’s get to work.”
Qin Fang’s expression was complicated.
…
Recently, Lei Xiao had been waiting for a promotion. He had already been nominated a long while ago and confirming it was merely a formality. Unexpectedly, someone from another company got the position in the afternoon. There was no foreshadowing beforehand. The promotion he had plotted so hard for disappeared just like that! He had been in his current position for 3 years and this promotion had been a long-awaited opportunity!
Lei Xiao’s expression was sour as he rushed off to question his higher ups. “Department Chief Xie, what’s up with this? Wasn’t I already confirmed for this position?!”
