  Qin Fang straightened his arms and stretched languidly. “Besides, why would that Zhou what’s-her-name steal Gu Mang’s design and still hope that Gu Mang would treat her kindly? She’s too stupid to be human.”


  Initially, they only wanted to be merciful and let those people off. They just needed to apologize publicly, destroy the work, and that would be the end of it. But those people didn’t know what was good for them. When they saw Gu Mang didn’t come with evidence they became so arrogant. They even wanted Gu Mang to apologize and rebuked her.

  They were quite bold to treat the person whom Brother Cheng was afraid of scaring like that.

  He Yidu hung his head slightly, flicked the ashes, his thin lips curling into a cold smile. “If you stole someone’s design and Gu Mang wrecks your scene, let her. Why run?”


  “Yeah, what’s with that.” Qin Fang went along with He Yidu brashly.

  Yu Shu pursed her lips slightly. Why were they also taking Gu Mang’s side and talking back to her? It was her whom they grown up with.

  “Yu Shu,” He Yidu called her name. He looked up slowly. Seeing her look back at him, he said, “Those who were there know better. If you weren’t there, it’s better that you not make wild comments.”


  Yu Shu’s face darkened, and she was just about to say something back she heard voices from afar. He Yidu squinted slightly as he glanced in the entrance to the racecourse. A group of people were walking in their direction.

  Qin Rui had brought Qin Yaozhi and Jiang Shenyuan with him. There was also another girl. Yu Shu saw her in the news. It was the girl in the Changning County case. The name Meng Jinyang came to mind. Was this kind of person fit to be in their circle?

  Gu Mang was wearing a black baseball cap and a simple white jacket that accentuated her fair skin.

  One hand was in her pocket and Lu Chengzhou held her other hand. It was a very intimate scene.

  Yu Shu’s gaze became icy as she stared at them. Meng Jinyang took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Gu Mang.

  Gu Mang took it, removed her hand from Lu Chengzhou’s, peeled off the plastic wrap, and put the lollipop into her mouth. It was very chilly and her fingertips were cold. Expressionless, she slid her hand into her pocket. The next second, Lu Chengzhou grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his pocket. Gu Mang raised her pretty eyebrows.

  “Brother Cheng, Gu Mang.”


  Qin Fang and He Yidu greeted them. Gu Mang reached out and pushed up the brim of her hat with a polite hum.

  Yu Shu took a small step forward in a formal manner, smiling gracefully. “Chengzhou.”


  Lu Chengzhou acknowledged indifferently. Looking at Yu Shu, Qin Rui said in a cultured manner, “You’re the only one who came from the capital?”


  He was quite surprised that Yu Mufeng and the others didn’t come to join in on the fun.

  Yu Shu smiled and nodded. “They might have been busy. Although they’re not here, their gifts are here in their stead.”


  Qin Rui didn’t ask more. As sharp as he was, he had already realized something was odd about the atmosphere. In the capital, Yu Shu was the one everyone thought was going to be the Lu family’s granddaughter-in-law.

  But now, Gu Mang was here.

  Qin Yaozhi looked at the row of stables and, tugged at Qin Rui’s sleeves, excitement in his eyes. “Brother, the ponies over there are so cute. There’s three of them, just enough for us three girls to ride.”


  Qin Fang held his arms as he stood with a slanted posture, teasing her. “Little Yaozhi, this is something your big brother specially prepared for you three. How are you going to thank me?”


  He had been quite surprised when he saw her yesterday. She had recovered rapidly over the last two months. Her face wasn’t as yellow as before and her thin face was now a little rounder. Gu Mang was indeed very good with her medical skills.

  Qin Yaozhi snorted sarcastically. “How about you give yourself to him?”


  The corner of Qin Fan’s mouth twitched.
