Chapter 348: Gu Mang is Still Young. You Need to Know Your Limits
The capital, Lu residence.
Lu Zhan had just ended a meeting as he entered the old grandmother’s courtyard in his suit. The old grandmother was having her dinner.
“Mom.” Lu Zhan greeted her respectfully with his head lowered.
The old grandmother pointed at the seat opposite of her. “Have some.”
Lu Zhan nodded and sat down. He sat upright and displayed the airs of a military man.
Picking up the chopsticks, he asked, “Why did Country K’s presidential palace look for us all of a sudden?”
The old grandmother picked up some vegetables and looked at him. “They’re here for Gu Mang.”
Although she did not really care about matters in Ming City, Gu Mang was widely known in the capital. Nobody dared to belittle the little girl.
Upon hearing this, a look of disbelief flashed across Lu Zhan’s eyes. “Why is the presidential palace visiting the Lu family to look for Gu Mang?”
The old grandmother smiled. “It’s all because of your son.”
Lu Zhan was speechless. Now that he was reminded of it, although that son of his had been very busy lately. He would often not return to the Lu residence for months. It was clear that he was looking for that little girl with all of his spare time. Even Country K automatically regarded her as part of the Lu family?
How unfair it was, since she was without any status.
“Let’s eat first,” said the old grandmother slowly and calmly.
Lu Zhan acknowledged. Holding his bowl, he picked up a piece of meat and had a mouthful of rice.
The old grandmother continued to speak. “The person here is the presidential palace’s eldest young mistress, Noelle. It seems like they will not leave easily if they don’t get Gu Mang.”
“Why are they looking for Gu Mang?” Lu Zhan took a sip of water and asked the old grandmother.
“Noelle said on the phone that her mother has fallen ill. The medical team in the presidential palace and the medical organization are all at a loss.” When the old grandmother spoke, her aged eyes stared straight at Lu Zhan.
Not everyone knew that Gu Mang had outstanding medical skills. Other than the Lu family, only the medical association and Qin family knew about it. Now there was one more, the presidential palace.
Lu Zhan was taken aback. “Even the medical organization can’t cure her?”
The old grandmother continued to eat. “If not, why would they look for Gu Mang?”
She had wanted to give it a try for her illness earlier and so looked for the Miracle Doctor. However, they could not find the Miracle Doctor and her rebellious son from Ming City recommended Gu Mang. When the old grandmother thought of Lu Shangjin, she was not as angry as she had been in the past. Yet, she still could not let it go.
Sensing that the old grandmother’s mood was off, Lu Zhan changed the topic. “Is Gu Mang currently at Ming City High School?”
The old grandmother continued to keep her eyes lowered. She said softly, “I haven’t asked. Go give Chengzhou a call and ask him to bring Gu Mang to the capital.”
“Sure, I’ll call him after eating.” Lu Zhan served the old grandmother a piece of fish. “Have a try.”
At this moment, a servant’s respectful voice was heard from outside.
“Third Young Master.”
Hearing his voice, Lu Zhan and the old grandmother instinctively looked over at the door.
They saw Lu Chengzhou entering.
He was surprised to see his father around and greeted them. “Grandma, Dad.”
When the old grandmother saw her grandson, the unhappiness in her mind vanished instantly as she smiled. “Just in time, both of you are having dinner with me.”
Without being instructed, the servant quickly went to the kitchen to bring Lu Chengzhou a bowl and utensils.
Lu Chengzhou slowly walked to the dining table like his usual lazy self.
The servant placed a bowl and utensils in front of Lu Chengzhou. Lu Zhan saw the bruise on his son’s neck and frowned instantly. Although it was not very obvious, he knew what happened as he had experienced it before as well.
Retracting his gaze, he cleared his throat and said softly, “Gu Mang is still young. You need to know your limits.”
