Chapter 124: It Turned Out to be Gu Mang!
Qin Rui’s car stopped in front of his Western-style house.
The car door opened and a girl wearing a white hoodie and a black jacket with a peaked cap got out. She had a tall and slim figure and she looked very young.
She stood indifferently and her languid silhouette exuded an incomprehensible arrogance.
Lei Xiao frowned. Why did the silhouette look so familiar?
Qin Rui said something from the other side and the girl turned her body slightly to look at him. Half her face was hidden under the brim of her cap, but the outrageously pretty outline of her lower face was enough for Lei Xiao to recognize Gu Mang.
He gripped the front seat tightly as he stared at her with wide eyes.
After listening to Qin Rui Gu Mang nodded slowly and walked into the house with her hands in her pockets, her gait careless.
Qin Rui followed a half-step behind her. His attitude was respectful.
The chauffeur also saw Gu Mang and was shocked. “Division Chief Lei, isn’t that…”
Lei Xiao’s face tightened and he said nothing.
…
Upon Gu Mang and Qin Rui’s entrance into the living room, Mrs. Qin immediately stood up to welcome them.
She paused as her gaze fell upon Gu Mang’s face before she said, “Hello, Ms. Gu. I am Qin Rui’s mother.”
Gu Mang nodded politely. “Mrs. Qin.”
Qin Rui said, “Mom, where is Yaozhi?”
At the mention of Qin Yaozhi, Mrs. Qin’s eyes reddened with both anger and heartbreak. “She’s in the room.”
Upon hearing that Qin Rui looked at Gu Mang. “Ms. Gu, please follow me.”
The three of them went up to the second floor.
When they arrived at the door to Qin Yaozhi’s room Qin Rui first knocked and waited for a few seconds before pushing it open. Qin Yaozhi was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a big bed. She was holding a phone horizontally and playing a game.
The volume of the game was turned up to the maximum and even Gu Mang, who was standing at the door, frowned slightly at the noise.
Mrs. Qin saw how irresponsible her daughter looked and her breathing became labored. “Qin Rui, look at her. She’s so addicted to games that she doesn’t even want to attend school and it’s ruining her health. She talks back whenever I scold her and says that I’m trying to control her freedom!”
Qin Rui pursed his lips. He didn’t want to argue about such meaningless things right now. He turned to Gu Mang and said, “Ms. Gu, Yaozhi will not cooperate with you if my mom and I are present. I will kindly trouble you with the task.”
Gu Mang cocked her head indifferently and stared at Yaozhi. She uttered a soft “mm.” Gu Mang walked in with both hands in her pockets as Qin Rui closed the door behind her. Qin Yaozhi didn’t look up and continued playing her game as though nothing was happening.
Gu Mang stared at her for a minute before walking to the swing chair and sitting down lazily. She settled into a comfortable position, took out her phone, and began to play a game as well. It was the same game Qin Yaozhi was playing.
Intermittently, Qin Yaozhi’s phone would blast the words, “You have been killed.”
Gu Mang’s, on the other hand, always said, “You are making a great killing.”
Qin Yaozhi lost her match while Gu Mang won hers. Their results were completely opposite from each other. Qin Yaozhi lifted her head and looked over.
Gu Mang was sitting formlessly on the swing chair with her legs crossed. She looked both wild and arrogant as she cocked her head at a slight angle as though she were looking at her battle results.
Suddenly, Gu Mang opened her half-closed eyes and looked at Qin Yaozhi. Her eyes were clear and bright, but they also exuded an indescribable wildness.
Qin Yaozhi was stunned but she did not want to seem awkward so she turned her gaze away indifferently.
Gu Mang cocked an eyebrow and said in a low voice, “Let’s play together. I’ll carry you.”
Qin Yaozhi pursed her lips and then nodded her head hesitantly. The two of them added each other as friends in the game and created their own squad to play cooperatively.
After three consecutive wins, Qin Yaozhi’s yellowed face carried a hint of a smile. They were now on their fourth match and had just loaded into a new game.
Gu Mang said mildly without looking up, “Why do you look so terrible?”
