Gu Mang's eyes suddenly flashed coldly. She swept her gaze over him and looked up quietly, with annoyance in her eyes. In an icy tone, she said, "Let go."
Lei Xiao's anger rose and he gripped her even harder. "I asked if you heard me! Don't tell me you've been going out to do things that will disgrace the family name!"
In the next second, a hand with slender fingers grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard. Lei Xiao let go instinctively from the pain and was flung aside. He looked up. A chilly face stared back at him. The person was tall with an impressive aura. He was merely standing there, yet he make people shudder with fear.
Even the most attractive star in the entertainment industry was no match for this person in front of him.
Lei Xiao looked him up and down. He did not look like a native of Ming City. "Who are you? How is it your business that I am talking to my niece?"
Lu Chengzhou turned his head to the side and asked emotionlessly, "This your uncle?"
Gu Mang looked indifferent but her dark eyes were as cold as a frozen lake. In a low tone, she hummed, "Mm."
Lu Chengzhou's swept his gaze over Lei Xiao. Suddenly, it felt as though a sharp sword had been run through Lei Xiao's throat. His blood ran cold.
"He doesn't look like it." The man seemed to be smirking.
However, Lei Xiao could tell that he was trying to humiliate him and his expression turned very sour.
Just then, Gu Mang's phone rang. It was Jiang Shenyuan who was urging them to hurry upstairs.
"Let's go." Gu Mang turned around and walked towards the lift.
Meng Jinyang hurried after her.
Lei Xiao frowned with anger. He wanted to chase after her. "Gu Mang, I haven't finished speaking!"
Suddenly, an arm blocked his path. He looked up and met a pair of eyes that were wicked and cruel and heard a voice threaten coldly, "Don't ever let me hear you scold her again."
Instantly, Lei Xiao was rooted to the spot, unnerved.
Lu Chengzhou smirked disdainfully and walked into the elevator. Lei Xiao gritted his teeth once he recovered.
As expected, Gu Mang's friends were shady and were gangsters from the underground!
...
In the car, Gu Mang apologized to the friend she was playing her game with earlier for going offline. She then started another round of the game.
Lu Chengzhou cast his gaze to the side and observed the girl sitting carelessly with her legs crossed like a boss. A smile flashed past his eyes and he placed the things he bought by her hand.
"Here are some things you like to eat. There are two cups of milk tea inside too."
Gu Mang looked at the food. There were macaroons, matcha layered cake, strawberry layered cake, and a few packets of cotton candy.
She cocked an eyebrow. "Thank you."
"No problem." Lu Chengzhou's gaze landed on her waist. He asked curiously, "Are you not afraid of gaining weight from eating so many sweets?"
A slight reckless smirk appeared on Gu Mang's lips. "I'm a growing girl."
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes. He had not expected her to rebut him using his own words. He changed the subject. "Will you be in school for the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow?"
"Mm." Gu Mang was not paying attention. Her flexible and pretty fingers were controlling a character in her game. "I will wait for you at the entrance of the Year Three building."
Lu Chengzhou thought about Gu Mang's results while he tapped his fingers on the armrest. "Will I be called to chat with the teacher?"
Gu Mang reflected on Xi Yan's personality. "Mm."
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang. His gaze was refined, yet perverse, as though he were a wolf who had sighted his prey.
It seemed like he could freely use the excuse of her studies to look for her in the future. After all, there was much room for improvement for a person who ranked last in her cohort.
