Lu Chengzhou stood outside the door. Seeing that it was quiet inside, he was about to knock again when the door opened from inside.

Gu Mang had an aloof expression on her face as she opened the door, her eyes looked red as though she had just woken up.

Her lips seemed quite pale.

She looked slightly irritable, and her phoenix eyes exuded a stifling aura.

It was a rare sight.

Lu Chengzhou slid his hand into his trouser pocket and looked at her. Whats the matter, didnt sleep well?

Im fine, Gu Mang said in a chilly tone as she walked out.

She walked past Lu Chengzhou but he grabbed her hand as she passed. The mans palm was very hot.

Whats the matter? He held her hand as they walked to the dining room.

Gu Mang said nothing. Lu Chengzhou didnt probe further. At the dining table, he pulled the chair out to let her sit and he sat across from her.

He passed her the chopsticks, took a pack of sugar from the storage box at the side, tore it open, and added it to her milk. Two packs?

His voice was gentle and patient. Gu Mang glanced at him and nodded.

Lu Chengzhou added the sugar, pushed it over to her, and gestured with his chin. Drink some.

Gu Mang took a sip and licked off the milk on her lips.

After a long while, she said pithily, Im going back to town tomorrow and I will pay my respects to my mom and dad.

Lu Chengzhou paused for a moment. You dont want to go back?

Its not that. Gu Mang pursed her lips, and placed the mug onto the dining table frustratedly with a clang. She leaned back with her legs crossed, her arms resting on the dining table as she said coldly, There are many people there. Its annoying.

It was just like Lei Congs birthday.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her. Ill go with you.

No need.

As soon as she spoke she seemed to have realized that she had refused him too quickly. She looked at him as though trying to explain something but said nothing.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her expressionless face and chuckled. When youre with me, you dont need to restrain yourself, just say what you want and do what you want.

Hearing this, Gu Mang chuckled too. Her icy gaze melted a little as she said softly, You dont need to see those people.

Drink your milk first. It will get cold. Lu Chengzhou gestured with his chin and watched her drink slowly before asking, You dont mind that your parents gave all their inheritance to Gu Yin?

Gu Mang raised an eyebrow as she gulped down the milk and said mildly, I dont mind. They were good to me. When I was five it was my mom who paid the money to fight Jinyangs case and my dad found the lawyer. When I was in the correctional institute, it was them who bailed me out. As to the inheritance, it belongs to Gu Yin as per their will.

It was their freedom to give it to whomever they desired. The amount of inheritance was insignificant just like the Lei family.

Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang. She sat languidly in the chair, the arc at the corner of her lips sinister. Her beautiful eyes were narrowed and filled with audacious confidence.

Ming City High School.

As soon as Gu Mang arrived in the classroom, Lu Yang was busy copying the homework.

Eh, Sister Mang, youre here. Lets copy the homework together. He shifted Shen Huans homework from his left over to his right. He turned his body sideways as he continued to write.

Gu Mang didnt look up as she said, Ive finished it.

She took out the homework and asked Fatty to pass it to the small group leader.

Lu Yang looked up in astonishment, What did you say? You finished the homework?

Gu Mang didnt want to answer, so she glanced at him with a raised eyebrow with an expressionless look.

Lu Yangs back stiffened instantly with fright as he put up a serious front and said, Sister Mang is so good! You actually finished the homework yourself!

Gu Mang was silent. Dumbass.

She sat down and grabbed a lollipop from the compartment below the table, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

Lu Chengzhou had sent a message to her. If you dont like staying at the dorm, you can bring Meng Jinyang to Seal Palace.
