Chapter 678: Brother Cheng Meets Gu Mang’s Friends at Zhuque Street’s Night Market
Lu Yang bumped his sister on the shoulder. “Lu Yi, you go to the same university as Gu Mang. Did she really become more capable than the doctors working at the Lu residence in just thirty days?”
The live-in doctors were all military doctors who had undergone training at the medical organization. His cousin, Lu Xiwei, was also part of the medical organization.
Lu Yi glanced sideways at Gu Mang before turning her gaze to her twin, whispering, “Gu Mang isn’t attending classes on traditional chinese medicine.”
“Huh?” Lu Yang scratched his head in confusion. “She’s not in the traditional chinese medicine major? Did I remember it wrong?”
Although the twin siblings were not exactly talking loudly, Lu Zhan, Lu Shangjin, and Lin Zhou all heard them talking. Lu Yi glanced in Gu Mang’s direction as she said, “She’s a titular student in the traditional chinese medicine major and is currently trying to specialize in medical informatics.”
Being a layman, Lu Yang became even more confused as he did not know what medical informatics was. His sister, who had looked it up, briefly explained it to him. “It basically has to do with artificial intelligence in the medical field, medical robots, and remote surgeries using robots.”
“Isn’t that Ph.D level? You need to have a double degree in computer science and medicine in order to get into that specialization,” said Lu Shangjin with much difficulty.
His daughter nodded. “That’s right.”
Gu Mang’s a freshman, yet she chose to pursue that specialty? Lu Zhan was startled to hear that, for he could imagine how difficult it was. Red Scorpion’s medical research team and the medical association were also doing similar research, but their progress had been painfully slow.
Wide-eyed, Lu Yang swallowed his saliva and gave Gu Mang a thumbs-up. “How impressive!”
Gu Mang did not react to him at all.
When Lu Zhan’s sharp, black eyes landed on Gu Mang, they focused on her for several seconds before looking away.
…
After they exited the main entrance of the Lu residence, the group went their separate ways. Lu Chengzhou opened the car door to let Gu Mang in first before he got in from the other side. She casually put the suit jacket aside and leaned back in the seat while putting her leg over her knee.
When Lu Chengzhou got in the car, he touched Gu Mang’s hand and instructed Lu Yī, who was sitting in the driver seat, “Increase the air conditioner temperature to twenty degrees.”
Lu Yī was completely used to this by now. He respectfully said, “Yes.”
Lu Chengzhou then took out a thermos from the drink holder, unscrewed its lid, and handed it to Gu Mang. “Drink some.”
She took it from him.
After adjusting the temperature, Lu Yī started the car’s engine and asked, “Are we going back to Royal Garden, Young Master Lu?”
Gu Mang’s phone rang at that moment. Lu Chengzhou did not respond to Lu Yī as his fiancé drank another sip of honey water and passed the flask over to him before fishing her phone out of her pocket. It was a video call from Lin Shuang. As soon as the call connected, the video showed a bustling and crowded night market. On the screen, Lin Shuang raised her cup towards the camera. “Gu Mang, let’s have a drink in the night market on Zhuque Street.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow slightly. “You’re alone?”
Without saying anything, Lin Shuang flipped the camera to show He Yidu and Qin Fang sitting across from her. She had only arrived in the capital that day. After the two men had attended their respective family’s dinners, they accompanied her to dinner.
Gu Mang shifted in her seat to get more comfortable. “I’m meeting someone else. Have fun on your own.”
“Who is it?” asked Lin Shuang curiously.
Gu Mang had never mentioned to her fiancé that she was meeting someone else, so he was quite surprised to hear that. He turned to look at her, only to hear her say, “Jiangsui.” His eyes gleamed at that.
“Oh, him.” Lin Shuang snapped her fingers and said, “How about this? I’ll get him to come here instead, so you can come over with Young Master Lu. It’ll be livelier with more people around.”
“Noisy,” replied Gu Mang coldly.
Lin Shuang knew that Gu Mang disliked crowded places. Lifting an eyebrow, she told her, “Okay, I’ll get us a private room then.”
“…Fine.”
