Chapter 508: How Are You Recovering From The After-Effects?

Gu Mang glanced at him blankly. “Listen to old dubbing sessions.”

Lu Chengzhou looked at her with an unpredictable expression.

A few seconds later, he looked away, ate a mouthful of green vegetables, still laughing, and whispered, “I want to hear the dubbing now, though.”

Gu Mang’s delicate eyebrows narrowed slightly.

...

Late evening.

He Yidu and Qin Fang came to the Lu Manor.

Lu Yi and Lu San followed behind them, holding a pile of documents and materials.

In the study, Gu Mang was sitting on the carpet near the other side of the sofa and she was leaning on the coffee table, sketching the Lan Ting design.

Qin Fang handed Lu Chengzhou the tablet across the desk. “Brother Cheng, this time, we have to cooperate with the Shadow League. That’s their territory.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrow slightly and kept moving her pen calmly.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the route on the tablet. “Go place the order with Shadow League.”

“Yes,” Qin Fang replied before beginning to contact Shadow League.

Then, He Yidu told Lu Chengzhou about the situation at No. 14 Research Center and debriefed him on some financial reports.

Gu Mang’s design was already finished. The neckline design of the cheongsam, the tailoring of the Hanfu structure, and the light blue floral embroidery on it...

She felt like something was missing from it.

She raised her eyebrow slightly and looked at the sketch for two to three seconds. Then, she tore it up and crushed the paper before throwing it beside her.

The sound gained the attention of the men and they turned to look at her.

The girl bent her leg and put her arm on her knee. She propped up her face with her hand and held a pen in her other hand. There was a bit of coldness in her side profile and she looked very irritable.

Lu Chengzhou picked up the intercom beside his hand and ordered, “Warm up a cup of sweet milk, get a few packets of cotton candy, and some lollipops.”

He Yidu and the others looked at each other and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Do you have to pay so much attention to her needs?

In a few minutes, the butler brought the things up and placed them in front of Gu Mang. She unwrapped a lollipop and put it into her mouth. Then, she continued with designing.

Lu Chengzhou retracted his gaze and looked at the financial statements. Without raising his head, he said, “Continue.”

The group gathered their minds and got back to business. The sound of men discussing business could soon be heard in the study room. Their voices were quite low. Lu Chengzhou rarely spoke. Occasionally, he spoke up to give a final verdict.

Two hours later.

Gu Mang looked at the new design draft and raised her eyebrow.

Ink color, Chinese red. Light gauze long skirt. The color had a natural transition and blend. The color was so beautiful that it was almost unreal. The tube top strap design was bold and gorgeous, like an angel and a demon.

Gu Mang closed the design book and bit the lollipop in her mouth to pieces. She turned to Lu Chengzhou, who was still watching over the business meeting. She changed her sitting position and picked up her phone with her legs crossed. Then, she plugged her headset in and logged into her game.

While she was gaming, a call prompt appeared on her screen. It was a call from Lei Xiao.

Gu Mang declined the call expressionlessly and continued gaming. It was surprising that Lei Xiao did not call again like before. After she finished one round of her game, Lu Chengzhou was finished his meeting.

Gu Mang gathered her crossed legs and stood up neatly. When He Yidu turned sideways, he accidentally made eye contact with Gu Mang and he immediately looked down guiltily.

He did not dare to look up even as Gu Mang walked over to the desk.

Qin Fang snorted when he saw the scene. “Old He, that’s not nice of you. Why do you feel shy around your Sister-in-law? Lift your head.”

“F*ck off,” He Yidu insulted him with his teeth clenched. “How is this your problem?”

Qin Fang turned to Gu Mang and smiled. “Sis, do you know? Old He almost bought himself an urn for his ashes.”

Gu Mang was silent.

She stood beside Lu Chengzhou, glanced at the wheelchair, and said, “Try standing up?”

Lu Chengzhou nodded. Lu Yi and Lu San moved and tried to help, but the look that Lu Chengzhou gave them stopped them from proceeding. The man held the wheelchair with one hand and stood up slowly.

He Yidu and Qin Fang watched in silence.

There was no expression on Lu Chengzhou’s face, but his five fingers gradually straightened as he stood. He grabbed the wheelchair armrest tightly, the veins on the back of his hand protruding. His joints were pale.

Gu Mang waited for him to stand up properly before she looked at his legs and asked, “Does it hurt badly?”

The corner of Lu Chengzhou’s lips curled up. “Don’t worry, I can walk.”

“Mmh.” Gu Mang supported him by his arms. In a low voice, she said, “I’ll bring you to the room. From tomorrow onwards, you will have physiotherapy once in the morning and once at night.”

“Okay,” Lu Chengzhou answered as they walked out of the study slowly.

He Yidu followed behind them. “Seems like Brother Cheng has recovered pretty quickly.”

Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows and answered in a calm tone, “Is that so?”

Why do I feel like I’m recovering very slowly?

“Mmh,” He Yidu answered. “The doctors from the medical room said that it would take at least 50 days for you to get out of bed.”

Gu Mang had also said that he would be bedridden for two months. Looking back, it had only been over 40 days and he could already move around.

Qin Fang flipped his mobile phone around casually and suddenly thought of something. He coughed. “Your body is recovering pretty well, as for the after effects...”

There was an eerie silence.

Gu Mang turned to look at him and asked expressionlessly. “Would you like to try?”

The corner of Qin Fang’s lips twitched and he explained seriously, “We are all as straight as a pen.”

“Oh.” Gu Mang was silent for two seconds. Then, she laughed. “All of you are so concerned, I thought that the three of you were in a love triangle.”

They seemed to be together all the time. He Yidu was left speechless. Qin Fang was silent. Lu Yi and Lu San looked down to stifle their laughter.

Lu Chengzhou choked and lowered his voice to say, “Daring of you to say anything you want, huh?”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and did not speak again. Just then, her phone rang.

She took it out from her pocket and looked at the prompt on her phone. Then, she accepted the call.

“It’s your uncle.” Lei Xiao’s voice was heard from the other end. “Where are you right now?”

Gu Mang looked calm and her tone was a little cold. “What’s the matter?”

Lei Xiao answered, “The Qingming Festival is next week. Come back to Changning County with Gu Si. We are going to sweep your parent’s tombs.”

“Okay.”

“Yinyin can’t come back as she is busy with the medical organization,” Lei Xiao said. “I asked your teacher and she said that you had left school. Stop wasting your time, get some proper business done, and learn from your sis-”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Mang hung up.

Lei Xiao was infuriated instantly. He threw his phone on the sofa. “Look at her attitude towards the elders! She has no manners at all!”

Xia Mingzhu looked at Lei Xiao. “What did she say? Is she returning?”

Lei Xiao took a deep breath and said in an angry tone, “She has left school. She hangs around with a bunch of hooligans all day. Does she think that she’s like Yinyin? Is she so busy that she cannot return?”

historical

One has been in the medical organization for two months and was said to be the most hardworking and most talented student under Kang Qi’s guidance. While the other had applied to quit school and was idle until now.

Two months was enough to create a gap. No matter how intelligent Gu Mang was, one could never learn medicine overnight.

In the end, I still put my hopes on the right person. Perhaps, Gu Mang just had a moment of glory during the joint exams. Gu Yin will sooner or later surpass Gu Mang by a large extent with her achievements in the medical organization.

Xia Mingzhu nodded and thought of something, so she asked, “Right, do you think that if Gu Mang knew that Mom and Dad secretly sold the family house in Changning County to buy an apartment for Lei Cong, she would make a fuss? No one can stop her when she goes crazy. ”
