The next day.
Lu Chengzhou returned to the bedroom from the gym, but Gu Mang was still asleep.
Gu Mang’s cell phone, which was on the bedside table, rang suddenly. She frowned and opened her eyes.
Lu Chengzhou glanced at the caller ID and said softly, "It’s a call from Grandma. Go to sleep, I’ll answer it."
He stroked her face softly. His palm was warm and comfortable. Gu Mang fell asleep again.
Lu Chengzhou took the cell phone and walked to the balcony. He passed by the coffee table and picked up his cigarette box along the way. He knocked out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.
He accepted the call and he heard his grandmother’s voice. "Ms. Gu, come early in the afternoon. Grandma’s waiting for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the crisp metal sound of the lighter igniting.
The old lady was silent for two seconds. "Where is Ms. Gu? Why are you the one answering the phone?"
She sounded disappointed.
Lu Chengzhou glanced into the bedroom. His dark eyes were warm. "She’s sleeping."
The old lady went silent again. She moved her phone down to look at the time. Upon seeing that it was already 11am, she frowned.
After a few seconds, she thought of something and her eyes widened. Then, her whole face became radiant.
She moved the phone back to her ear and said with a smile, "Oh okay, that’s good. Young people should sleep more. Grandma shall not bother the two of you. Remember to bring Ms. Gu here early in the afternoon."
Lu Chengzhou said nothing. This was the first time that his grandmother had hung up first.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and walked into the bedroom with the phone in hand. Just then, the phone vibrated. He looked down and glanced at it. Lu Shangjin had sent a message.
"Gu Mang, I’ve been deployed to the capital. If you have nothing on tonight, come over to my place for dinner. Your Aunt Lin is going to cook."
Lu Chengzhou already knew that Lu Shangjin had been deployed to the capital. He had been in the capital for ten days, but he only contacted Gu Mang after settling down.
Lu Shangjin had achieved remarkable distinction in the political world in the past few years in Ming City. It was no surprise that he had been promoted.
Lu Chengzhou turned back to the balcony and used Gu Mang’s cell phone to give him a voice call.
