As Lu Chengzhou got into Gu Mang’s car, Jiangsui greeted him respectfully, "Young Master Lu."
Lu Chengzhou nodded and turned to Gu Mang. "What brings you here?"
Instead of answering him, Gu Mang ordered Jiangsui to drive back to the villa.
"Understood." Jiangsui turned on the car’s engine and drove off with Lu Yī’s car following behind.
Lu Chengzhou stared fixedly at Gu Mang. "Don’t you believe me?"
"I do." Gu Mang turned her head slightly to face him, her dark eyes looking bright and clear.
Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow at that. "Your actions don’t match your words."
"I really do believe in you," said Gu Mang impassively. Although she did believe that he wouldn’t do any dealings with Leng Xuan, she was afraid that he might settle the problem using other methods.
Lu Chengzhou stared right into her eyes for a couple of seconds before breaking out into a smile. "Alright, then what are you doing here?"
Gu Mang’s voice sounded indifferent as she looked away to check her phone’s messages. "I have nothing to do."
What a lame reason. Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What if I strike a deal with Leng Xuan?"
"You won’t," replied Gu Mang without the slightest bit of hesitation.
The grin on Lu Chengzhou’s face spread wider when he saw how much she trusted him. "But what if I did?"
Gu Mang looked at him, and vice versa. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Prenatal education... Jiangsui’s lips twitched as he looked into the rearview mirror to see Gu Mang lazily leaning against Lu Chengzhou and taking the flask from him.
Gu Mang’s eyes shone with laughter as she sipped the drink. "What did Leng Xuan say to you?"
The mention of this serious business made Lu Chengzhou put his mixed emotions aside. The hand that was holding onto the flask cover rested on the armrest as he repeated what Leng Xuan said about Base 102, word for word.
Gu Mang smiled meaningfully. "She said that my parents caused the deaths of the Base 102 researchers and the juniors of the various clans?"
"Yes, do you believe her?"
"No," answered Gu Mang with a shake of her head. She knew very little about her parents, but based on the fact that Leng Xuan claimed that she returned to Jijing Island to destroy Base 102 and used the medicine prescription to sow discord in her relationship with Lu Chengzhou, she believed none of Leng Xuan’s words.
