Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyang frowned immediately and asked anxiously, “Are you really earning money as a mercenary? Are you hurt? Take off your clothes and let me check.”
She stood up, intending to help Gu Mang out of her clothes.
Gu Mang stopped her hand immediately and smiled when she saw Meng Jinyang’s worried expression. Her beautiful eyes shone a little wickedly.
In a low voice, she said, “I’ve learned some computer science and I’m helping people programme software to earn money.”
Meng Jinyang stared at her clear, bright eyes to ascertain that she was not lying before heaving a sigh of relief. “You scared me.”
Gu Mang wrapped an arm around her shoulders and sat Meng Jingyang down in a friendly manner. “Relax, I’m not a mercenary. I only beat people up.”
Meng Jinyang was speechless.
She had witnessed Gu Mang’s viciousness at the tender age of five.
She could smile at someone in one moment and hold up a brick to smash it on the same person the next moment.
No one could hurt her at all. Gu Mang was not one to stir up trouble, unless someone did so first. They deserved whatever came next.
Meng Jinyang ate a dried strawberry to calm her spirits before returning to the subject at hand. “Gu Mang, I’ve recovered a lot and won’t need to stay here anymore.”
Gu Mang glanced around at the state-of-the-art environment in the care facility. “It’s quite good here. Why don’t you want to stay? It’s not expensive.”
Meng Jinyang said softly, “But I want to earn money with you. You must have spent a lot of money to fund my stay here.”
“It’s not a lot of money.” Gu Mang played things down.
Her phone suddenly chimed with a notification and she took it out. It was a message from Lin Shuang.
[Be careful these days, Little Sister Gu. Lu Chengzhou is using all his influence to locate you these days.]
Meng Jinyang pursed her lips with a stubborn expression. “Gu Mang, you’ve hired so many teachers to teach me things and I feel like I can work a job to earn some money now.”
She didn’t want to burden Gu Mang anymore.
She now had the power to take care of herself.
Gu Mang raised her cool, quiet eyes to look at Meng Jinyang. “Do you really feel like earning money?”
Meng Jinyang nodded solemnly. “Yeah.”
Gu Mang took a bite of dried mango and chewed it for a bit. “How about this: I’ll find you a school and you’ll go and take the university entrance exams this year and get into a good university. You’ll be able to earn more money if you do that.”
For a moment Meng Jinyang’s eyes brightened, but they dimmed the next instant. “Going to school is very expensive.”
“You don’t have to worry about the school fees. I can afford it.” Gu Mang typed a reply to Lin Shuang and added carelessly, “You can return the money to me when you find a job after graduating from university.”
Meng Jinyang was still hesitant. “What about you then?”
“Me? I’ll rent a house near your school.”
Meng Jinyang bit her lip and thought about it. “Gu Mang, let’s take the university exams together.”
Gu Mang frowned slightly.
She had already learned everything taught in high school at the age of six.
It had been difficult for her to drop out of school then. Did she really want to go back to school and wake up early everyday to listen to lectures and take exams? And give the school control over her?
That was too troublesome.
Meng Jinyang thought that Guy Mang hated studying and said enthusiastically, “If you’re afraid of studying, I can tutor you.”
Gu Mang looked at her with a deep gaze.
Meng Jinyang did not understand her look. Afraid that she would not agree to it, Meng Jinyang balled her fists tightly, lowered her eyes, and said softly, “Gu Mang, I really owe you too much. I don’t want you to make anymore sacrifices for me.”
