Chapter 245: They are So Narrow-Minded and Revengeful

At the capital.

Qin Fang received news that the Yi family was selling properties and laughed. “Brother Cheng, do you see that? This move, this temper. Simply well done! Indeed, she is my future sister-in-law.”

They were so narrow-minded and vengeful. What’s more, the revenge was multiplied in return. They did whatever they were comfortable with and did not have to hold their anger.

He Yidu did not think that Gu Mang would really go so far. He tsked. “I wonder how much she asked for.”

Qin Fang turned to Lu Chengzhou. “Brother Cheng, how much?”

There was a sly expression hidden in Lu Chengzhou’s eyes. Nonchalantly, he answered, “One-fifth of their company’s market value.”

Hearing that, both Qin Fang and He Yidu laughed. How ruthless. Exactly just like them.

“How are things going at No. 14?” Lu Chengzhou flicked the ashes off his cigarette.

Qin Fang put away his smile. “The standards of the warcraft design are too high. With the current capabilities of No. 14, we still need some time.”

The military standards of Nation D were so good that even their No. 14 facility found it difficult to complete. They had to develop the warcraft well. If they are too backdated, someone would have to bear responsibility.

He Yidu was silent for a few seconds. Then, he spoke. “The details of the first batch of Red Scorpions are here. Brother Cheng, we have to select as soon as possible.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded. He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. Then he got up. “Let’s go to Red Scorpion.”

...

In the afternoon, several parents went to Ming City High School again.

In the Year Three Department Meeting Room.

Five cards were handed to Gu Mang.

Mr. Yi smiled warmly. He displayed the sleek mannerisms of a businessman. “Ms. Gu, this is the card. The passcode is 6 zeros.”

Gu Mang sat on the chair leisurely and uttered a noise of assent nonchalantly. She took the card. “Pretty quick.”

Everyone’s expression was rather unnatural. Upon closer look, they were holding in their anxiety.

Seeing that she had accepted the money, Mr. Yi asked, “Can Ms. Gu revoke the lawsuit as soon as possible?”

Gu Mang looked up and her thin lips curled up. Her eyes were filled with cynicism as she answered. “Sure.”

Hearing that, Mr. Yi’s tense mind finally relaxed. Yet, Liang Qingru was feeling really uncomfortable deep down as if she had swallowed a housefly. Her son got beaten up and yet they still had to compensate the other party! What logic was this!

Gu Mang took the card and got up with her hands in her pockets. Then, she walked away languidly without a care. The people behind her clenched their jaws but they were totally helpless.

Xi Yan was waiting outside. Seeing Gu Mang exit, she stepped forward. “Gu Mang, have you resolved the matter?”

“Mm.” She uttered an assent and they walked towards her classroom.

Xi Yan looked at her. “Do you intend to revoke the appeal?”

Gu Mang nodded and did not speak much. She turned to Xi Yan nonchalantly. “Have you submitted the selection documents?”

Xi Yan was slightly stunned. “The principal submitted it for me in the morning.”

Gu Mang stopped talking. Xi Yan’s feelings were rather complicated. Although she had submitted the document, she was just a ‘sidekick.’ The selection wouldn’t happen but she did not want to trigger Gu Mang.

When they returned to the classroom, Gu Mang went to her seat and used a hand to support her face as she did her assignments.

The next day, she took leave from school.

She went to Experimental High School to finish filming scenes for Sheng Ting’s film. When the students at Experimental High School saw her, they kept their distance. A few students in Year Three uniforms glared at her.

While filming, Sheng Ting’s gaze was shifty.

In the end, his makeup artist couldn’t hold it in and told Gu Mang. “The night before, Brother Ting intended to head to the police station but he was stopped by Sister Su.”

Sister Su was Sheng Ting’s manager. If his appearance at the police station was filmed by reporters, they were uncertain how the media would portray the incident.

Gu Mang uttered an acknowledgment. “It’s fine.”

Seeing Gu Mang’s attitude, the make up artist knew that Brother Ting had no chance with her.
