Chapter 190: Sister Mang: Quite Impressive That You Can Even Lose a Sports Car
Jiang Shenyuan closed the storage compartment, looked at the frightened girl, and said softly, “Don’t be scared. It’s only for self-defense.”
The traffic light turned green and he slowly stepped on the accelerator. Meng Jinyang blinked as she tried to convince herself. Jiang Shenyuan said nothing more, giving her some time to take it in. It was a quiet drive.
It wasn’t until the car stopped in front of the school that she overcame her fear and looked at him with her pretty eyes. “Big Brother Jiang, are you all good people?”
Jiang Shenyuan thought for a moment. He seemed to be a good person, but he couldn’t say the same for Lu Chengzhou. He nodded to calm Meng Jinyang down.
“That’s good.” Meng Jinyang’s tense back began to relax as she smiled. “Big Brother Jiang, I’ll head back to school then.”
With that said, she took her bag and got out of the car, waved to Jiang Shenyuan, turned, and walked into school.
Jiang Shenyuan looked at her slim back, tapped his fingertips against the steering wheel, and smiled mirthlessly.
Meng Jinyang was different from them. Her life was too ordinary. She was afraid of the things that normal people were afraid of. She needed more time to take everything in.

When Gu Mang returned to Seal Palace, she snuggled on the sofa lazily, holding her phone as she chatted with people. Lu Chengzhou was cooking her food in the kitchen. In order to avoid scars on her hand she had to eat healthy food.
In the upper right corner of the WeChat chat was Yu Mufeng’s name.
“Shit, Grandmaster, why are you getting involved with Lu Chengzhou? Haven’t you been trying to hide from him all the while?”
Qin Fang had just called him. He immediately rebuked him and said that there was an accident at the racecourse. Terrified, he asked about what happened. Upon hearing that a girl had beaten Yu Shu in a horse race, he was shocked.
Delighted at her loss, he asked who the badass who beat Yu Shu was. Qin Fang answered briefly that it was a female high school student named Gu Mang. Upon hearing her name, he felt goosebumps on his back. After hanging up Qin Fang’s call, he went to look for Gu Mang.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes as she read Yu Mufeng’s message. It was already shocking to know that she was mixing with people like Lu Chengzhou.
Without replying to his question, she typed casually, “Quite impressive that you can lose even a sports car.”
Yu Mufeng was drinking water and he choked on it and coughed.
After steadying his breath, the corner of his mouth twitched as he replied, “Little Grandmaster, I’m sorry I was such an embarrassment.”
He had never intended to accept the bet. No matter how crazy he got, he would never put his own precious sports car on the line. Yu Shu didn’t know that Lu Chengzhou gave him the sports car because he wanted his father to perform surgery on old Matriarch Lu.
The Lu family had perfected the art of using pleasantries to coax people before using force. After puffing up the Yu family, they simply nabbed him from his laboratory to bring him to the Lu family a second time.
Yu Shu was just nosy. After finding out that the sports car was in his hands, she thought he had taken what belonged to Lu Chengzhou, so she forced him to make a bet because she wanted to help Lu Chengzhou get the car back. Everyone knew she was good at horse riding so he was put in a tough spot. He wasn’t dumb, why would he want to give away his sports car like that?
Gu Mang glanced at Lu Chengzhou who was still in the kitchen. His back was facing her while he was slowly cutting the food. She raised an eyebrow and didn’t reply to Yu Mufeng’s message.
Within a few seconds, the cell phone vibrated again. “Grandmaster, had I known that you were going, I wouldn’t have avoided meeting Lu Chengzhou today.”
At the end, he added a “cup face in hands and cry” emoji.
They all knew that Lu Chengzhou didn’t want to see Yu Shu but he hadn’t expected to bump into Yu Shu during dinner that day. She overheard that Qin Fang’s racecourse was opening while there.
He was of course too scared to go and ended up missing a good show. The Grandmaster was so awesome that she even beat Yu Shu in a horse race. What finesse.
