“Final exams, can’t come.” Gu Mang answered simply. Her slanted eyes made her seem very distant.

Xia Mingzhu smiled. “Exams are indeed more important.”

Lei Xiao replied, “Let’s check in first.”

The others nodded and walked towards the departure check-in. Gu Yin turned around slightly to peek at Gu Mang who was walking behind her. She heard about what had happened online the previous day. There were a lot of rumors about it and they all guessed that Sheng Ting had a crush on Gu Mang.

Because of her face?

Gu Mang walked calmly and took out his phone casually. He was chatting with Lu Chengzhou.

“I’ve reached the airport.” Lu Chengzhou had sent a message to her at 7AM but she did not see her phone until now so she just getting around to replying.

The moment she sent the message, the screen showed that the other person was typing…

In the next second, he replied. “When will you return?”

Gu Mang typed slowly. “10pm tonight.”

“Mmh, I will come and pick you up tonight.” Another text from Lu Chengzhou appeared. “I have something to attend to. See you tonight.”

“Okay.” Gu Mang replied before putting her phone in her pocket.

…

An hour later, they reached Chunning City. Third Auntie’s Family was there to pick them up.

Seeing them arrive from the airport, Third Auntie smiled as she welcomed them. She pushed the car door open. “Hurry, hop in. It’s so cold out here.”

Third Uncle’s family was so-so. They had a small business and the car that they drove was so-so. It was a corporate car that cost about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

It seemed like they had used the car to pick up some deliveries in the past two days. The car was not every tidy but the seats were recently cleaned.

“Mom, take the pa.s.senger seat.” Lei Cong looked at Xia Mingzhu who had an unnatural expression on her face. From the look in her eyes, she seemed to look down on them.

She had always travelled in luxury cars. She felt that cars like this were dirty. Gu Yin saw the unusual stains on the seats and did not want to sit down either. She pouted but she did not speak up. If she had known she wouldn’t have gotten Third Uncle to come and fetch them.

Gu Mang smiled slightly and looked at Third Uncle. “Uncle, thank you, sorry to trouble you.”

Third Uncle waved. His att.i.tude was way better than before. “What trouble? Today we are going to sweep the tombs of your parents. It is only right of us to offer you some help. If you really want to show your grat.i.tude, then take good care of your younger sister Qiqi in the future.”

They had only had their second child, a daughter, recently. Third Uncle doted on her a lot. Gu Mang smiled and nodded. She would definitely not forget to be thankful. These people would offer help if it weren’t for the fact that they needed things as well.

With droopy eyes, she climbed into the car. She went all the way to the back and found a comfortable position to sit in. She squinted at the sunlight outside and she reached up to press her hat down firmly.

Third Uncle hurried to invite the others in the car. Lei Cong did not despise it. He was the first to climb in the car and he went to sit with Gu Mang at the back. Gu Mang had a strong aura. Lei Cong did not even dare to wiggle while sitting by her. He looked to the side carefully. Gu Mang’s baseball cap was low over her face. Only half her face could be seen. She looked really good.

Since he was young, he felt that this cousin of his was really cool. It was just that she was not someone to mess with. He did not dare to speak much.

He pulled at his seat and could not control it in the end. “Sister Gu Mang, don’t be too upset. Auntie and Uncle will be watching over you from above.”

Gu Mang opened her eyes and looked towards him slowly. She did not utter a single word. Lei Cong felt his spine tense up. He bit the corner of his lip awkwardly.

Gu Mang stared at him for a few seconds before looking away expressionlessly.

Lei Xiao opened the door to the pa.s.senger seat and let Xia Mingzhu sit up front. The pa.s.senger seat was the cleanest. With her designer bag in hand, Xia Mingzhu sat reluctantly.

Gu Yin looked at the dirty seat in the center and bit her lip as she hopped in the car. Her body was very stiff and she tried not to lean back onto the seat.
