Chapter 494: How Long Have They Been Standing Behind Her?
The woman looked at her for a few seconds and asked understandingly, “Do you want her autograph as well?”
Xin Yue was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked down and a smile formed on her lips. She said rather shyly, “Yeah.”
The woman’s attitude became warmer in an instant and she gently said, “Goddess Gu should be at Teacher Bai Ye’s office at the very end of the hall. Go look for her there.”
When Xin Yue heard this, her eyes darkened.
Teacher Bai Ye’s office.
So it seemed Gu Mang intended to get in through the back door. Xin Yue thanked the woman with a smile and walked towards Bai Ye’s office. When she turned, the smile on her face vanished and the look in her eyes became dark and serious.
Bai Ye’s office was easily locatable. There was also a sign on the door with the words “Bai Ye.”
The area was separated from the cubicle office area in the front. There were not many people around and it was very quiet. Xin Yue knocked twice on the door. When no one answered, she pushed it open.
The office was not big and it was very simplistic. There was a panorama window on the north side and the sunlight shone onto the white carpet.
It was really quiet and empty inside. No one was there.
Gu Mang’s coat was resting over the sofa. Xin Yue stood at the entrance and glared at the coat. She bit her lip.
After standing in the same spot for five seconds, she made up her mind. She lowered her head and pulled out one of the small bottles of pills from her bag. Then, she walked over and stuffed it into the pocket of Gu Mang’s coat.
She was not familiar with this place and so her hands trembled slightly while she did it. Afterwards, she put Gu Mang’s coat back where it was before.
After putting the bottle of pills in Gu Mang’s coat, her hands were still shaking. She shook her hands and turned to walk out. She had not taken many steps before she stopped suddenly and frowned. Then, she went back. She removed the pills from Gu Mang’s pocket and stuffed them into the sofa. Then she hurried out of the office and shut the door well.
She turned around and saw Gu Mang and a man standing behind her.
Xin Yue felt as if the blood circulation in her head had stopped. She did not know when they had arrived and how long they had been standing behind her. Xin Yue did not dare to speak. She just made eye contact with Gu Mang stiffly.
The girl’s pupils were black and sharp like a knife. At the moment, they were cold and she seemed to be staring at Xin Yue’s neck.
Yu Mufeng looked at Xin Yue and then turned to Gu Mang. He lifted his chin. “Do you know each other?”
Gu Mang did not answer. She was still staring at Xin Yue.
When Xin Yue heard what Yu Mufeng said, she realized that they had no reason to suspect her. She forced herself to calm down and she quickly took out a small notepad and pen from her bag and handed them over. “Goddess Gu, can I get your signature?”
When Yu Mufeng saw that, he laughed in a mocking manner. “Oh, she’s your fan.”
Gu Mang’s eyes darkened and she glanced down at Xin Yue’s notebook and pen. The coldness in her eyes softened and she accepted the notepad and pen, signed on the notebook, and returned them to her.
“Thank you, Goddess Gu.” Xin Yue smiled.
Gu Mang nodded politely. “You’re welcome.”
“Then I shall take my leave first, Goddess Gu.” Xin Yue put her notebook and pen back into her bag and smiled. Then, she walked away from Gu Mang and Yu Mufeng.
“Young Grandmaster, when will the interviews end? Let’s have lunch together.”
“We shall see.”
The voices of men and ladies chatting could be heard from behind them. Xin Yue pressed her hand on her small satchel. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth and she walked in the direction of the interview room.
When Xin Yue returned to the interview room, she got back to her seat and glanced around at everyone. Everyone had disposable cups with them. Some staff members must have given everyone a cup of water while she was away. She looked at the cup in front of Yao Ling and her gaze darkened as if she were thinking of something.
