Chapter 488: Who Dared to Do This to His Young Master?!
After seeing the message in the chat group, Gu Mang exited it and replied to several other messages before playing her game.
It seemed like she was busy these days because she kept leaving early and returning late.
When she returned, she would bring with her odd things like alcohol, small bottles of black liquid, as well as crushed paper. She also had a small, transparent resealable bag that contained black tablets.
Lu Chengzhou stopped eating the medical centre’s food on the seventh day and by now had returned to his usual diet.
Gu Mang returned to the Lu Manor at around 9 P.M.
Lu Chengzhou was on the phone and when he saw her enter the room, he said, “That’s all,” before hanging up.
As Gu Mang was removing her jacket a surgical knife fell out of her pocket.
She picked it up without any expression and placed it in her black backpack before heading to the bathroom.
“Wait a minute,” Lu Chengzhou called out to her.
Gu Mang turned around and looked at him leaning on the sickbed. “I’m dirty. Let’s talk after I’ve showered.”
Lu Chengzhou paused. “Have you eaten?”
She entered the bathroom. Befor closing the door she replied, “No.”
Lu Chengzhou looked at the tightly shut bathroom door and frowned. He dialed the office line and said, “Warm the porridge and bring it up.”
“Yes,” replied the butler respectfully.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Mang left the bathroom wearing a white blouse and drying her hair.
Smelling chestnut porridge in the air, she looked up at the nightstand.
Lu Chengzhou gestured at it with his chin. “Come and have porridge.”
“Oh.” She walked towards it calmly.
Standing by the bed, she pressed the towel on her head and placed the spoon to the side. Lifting the bowl with her hands, she downed it in a few seconds.
Looking at her, he asked, “Have you been very busy recently?”
Gu Mang licked the corners of her lips and put down the empty bowl as she sat on the bed. Stretching her leg lazily, her pants slid back and revealed her pale skin.
She answered, “Yu Zhongjing’s medical research center is researching a new drug but there’s a small problem.”
Lu Chengzhou held her hand. “Are you going tomorrow?”
“I’m not going tomorrow.” Gu Mang continued to dry her hair. “I have something on.”
“Why do you have so many things to do?” He pinched his fingertips.
She seemed more unoccupied back in school. Since leaving school, she was always busy with one thing or another.
Gu Mang thought for two seconds. “I’ll be free after my business tomorrow.”
fHe hummed. “I’ll bring you back to the old residence after, then.”
Gu Mang did not reply.
After drying her hair, she put the towel to the side and checked the recovery progress of his injuries.
They were almost fully recovered and he would be free to attempt to walk in a few days.
…
The next day.
After having breakfast, Gu Mang looked at Lu Chengzhou. “You don’t need to drive me today.”
“Sure.” He turned to instruct the butler. “Go get the car key.”
Gu Mang was stunned for a moment.
After some time, the butler brought a brand new car key and passed it to Lu Chengzhou.
“Can you drive the Bentley?” asked Lu Chengzhou. “I’ve done all the paperwork for you. Driving is more convenient.”
She took the key from him and threw it in the air twice before smiling at him. “I can.”
When she walked past Lu Chengzhou before leaving, she paused and looked at him through the corner of her eyes.
“What’s wrong-”
Before he could finish speaking, she suddenly hooked his chin and said, “I’m leaving.”
This made the butler’s blood curdle.
Who dared to do this to his young master?!
…
When Gu Mang arrived at the garage, she instantly noticed the black Bentley sitting off to the side. The car had been parked there for several days but she had had no idea that it was for her.
The license plate number was ‘ME916’ and had the capital’s prefix on it.
When she looked at the license plate she was reminded of Lu Chengzhou’s bank pin number. It was ‘916916’ too.
Was this number special to him?
