Chapter 524: Scared? Not Even When I Was Ten.
The next day.
When Lu Chengzhou came out of the bathroom, he saw Gu Mang standing sideways on the balcony smoking a cigarette. The sunshine outlined her figure and she cast a long shadow.
The wind outside blew her hair and her face looked amazing under the dazzling light.
She was holding onto her phone and having a phone call.
He could hear her low voice from inside.
“Mmh, it’s almost time.” Her tone was calm. The other party’s voice could not be heard. She laughed lightly and answered obnoxiously, “Scared? Not even when your father, I, was ten.”
Lu Chengzhou was quiet.
‘Your father’?
“How is that your problem?” Gu Mang flicked the ashes from her cigarette and they floated away with the wind.
As if she had sensed Lu Chengzhou’s gaze, she narrowed her black eyes and looked straight at him.
He was standing by the bed and his hair was in a lazy curl. There were a few drops of water on his face that slipped to his chin. He looked really charming. Gu Mang bit the cigarette in her mouth and the voice on the other end of the phone continued.
“Eh-Sister Mang, we also want to see what kind of person can seduce you. Just tell us, is it the money or the s*x? Didn’t you say that you like people who had hundreds of millions…”
Lu Chengzhou met the girl’s dark eyes and raised his eyebrows. Without interrupting her call, he turned to the changing room to change his clothes. Before he walked into the changing room, he heard Gu Mang’s low and hoarse voice.
“I’ll take him to have a meal with all of you next time.”
When Lu Chengzhou heard this, the corner of his lips curled up.
She had met his parents. Was he going to meet her friends?
The two of them got ready and went downstairs for breakfast.
Lu Chengzhou added some sugar into the milk and passed it to her. “I’m going to Red Scorpion today. Do you wanna come along?”
Gu Mang took the cup and sipped the milk. She licked her lips and pondered for a few seconds. “Sure.”
At the training base of Red Scorpion.
The jeep stopped at the campsite. Gu Mang pushed the door open and got out. She stood beside the car and pressed on her cap. She scanned her surroundings. There was a small office building along with many wooden dormitories.
There was a row of cars parked in the open space in front of the office building. There were all kinds of cars, but they had one thing in common. The shapes of the wheels were all for off road driving.
Lu Chengzhou walked up beside her and held her hand as they walked towards the office. He recalled that Gu Si had hacked into Red Scorpion’s firewall in the past.
He looked at her. “Did you teach Gu Si computing skills?”
“Ah,” Gu Mang answered lazily. She tilted her head to shield herself from the sun with her cap.
Lu Chengzhou nodded. “Where do you intend to send Gu Si next?”
When they entered the office building, Gu Mang took off her baseball cap and held it in her hand. She ruffled her own hair. “Anywhere’s fine.”
“Let him stay at Red Flame for a few years, then return to Red Scorpion to learn more?” Lu Chengzhou suggested.
Gu Mang couldn’t care less. She answered simply, “You can ask him about it.”
There were more people in the office building than outside. When they saw Lu Chengzhou walking with a long-haired lady, they were all surprised but quickly regained composure..
“Young Master Lu.” A man dressed in camouflage who was holding a document file greeted him respectfully.
Lu Chengzhou responded and took Gu Mang upstairs.
Along the way, everyone greeted Lu Chengzhou but their eyes were all on Gu Mang.
Gu Mang looked calm and she exuded a cold aura. The words “Don’t mess with me” seemed to be floating around her. She was really intimidating.
When they reached Lu Chengzhou’s office, he said, “Have a seat on the sofa. If you are bored, there are some darts over there.”
He pointed at the dartboard on the west office wall with his chin.
Gu Mang hummed in acknowledgment. Lu Chengzhou squeezed her finger and went to handle his work matters.
Gu Mang sat down on the sofa and she crossed her legs as she whipped out her phone and spun it around. She logged into WeChat and looked at her unread messages.
Old Madam had sent her a sticker.
It was a cluster of big red flowers surrounding a sentence. “It’s the start of a beautiful day.”
She replied, “Good morning, Granny.”
