Chapter 148: He Touched His Sister’s Hand?!

Gu Mang swept her gaze across the money indifferently and smirked. Her cold eyes were crescent-shaped as she smiled mysteriously. "There’s no need for that."

She turned around, pushed the brim of her cap down, and walked down the stairs casually, her aura cold and arrogant.

Gu Si followed her.

The old master narrowed his aged eyes. The hand holding the money froze in mid-air and his expression grew slightly grave.

Lei Xiao walked out into the living room when he saw Gu Mang walk away. "Dad, how was her attitude?"

The old master pocketed the money and put both his hands atop the dragon head staff. "You were right. The girl has been recalcitrant since she was little and has no regard for family. She’s a thankless wretch. What kind of attitude can we expect her to have?"

Lei Xiao frowned. Impatiently, he asked, "What do we do, then? Dad, Gu Mang might be behind the fact that I didn’t get my promotion."

The old master’s gaze was thoughtful. "Qin Rui might have come to Ming City to gain experience which means he might be transferred back to the capital after some political achievements. Maintain yourself. You will definitely have another chance at promotion."

Lei Xiao said nothing. The haze in his heart was not quelled and he kept feeling like he had taken the wrong path.

The old master turned to walk into the house. "Nurture Gu Yin properly. Your sister still has some connections that can help Gu Yin. Once she becomes Yu Zhongjing’s student, the capital’s circles will be open to us."

A dazed Lei Xiao stared blankly at the old master.

...

Gu Mang and Gu Si walked out of the neighborhood and saw Lu Chengzhou’s car waiting by the road.

He was standing by the car, leaning on it. His black shirt made him appear cold and aloof.

The slender fingers of one of his hands held a cigarette while his other hand seemed to be typing out replies to messages on his phone.

He looked up, saw Gu Mang, pocketed his phone, and walked up to her. He looked at her thin black jacket and asked, "Are you cold?"

There was a large temperature difference between today and yesterday and the current temperature was close to zero. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Gu Mang adjusted her cap. "I’m alright."

Lu Chengzhou held her hand. It was quite cold. "You call this alright?" he asked.

Gu Si was speechless. He touched his sister’s hand?
