Lei Xiao recalled Lu Shangjin and Qin Rui’s attitudes towards Gu Mang earlier that day and felt even more regretful.
He cracked his brains to climb up the social ladder only to discover that the people that he wanted to surpass were on close terms with Gu Mang, the person that he disliked greatly. This made him feel really frustrated and down.
One was accepted into the medical organization while the other knew the two big families of the Capital. If he had adopted Gu Mang as well back then, would he...
Old Master Lei knew Lei Xiao very well. Upon seeing Lei Xiao’s expression, he knew what was on his mind. Back then, the person who had strongly refused to adopt Gu Mang and Gu Si was him.
It was too late to say anything now.
Old Master Lei sighed. Now, they could only place all their bets on Gu Yin. He looked towards Gu Yin and said, “When you reach the medical organization, they will probably assign you a mentor. I suggest that you pick Yu Zhongjing. The Yu family has a very high status in the capital currently. They are a very reliable family.”
Gu Yin uttered a soft assent obediently. “I am already accepted into the medical organization. As for Academician Yu, I will try my best.”
Old Master Lei nodded. “Go on.”
Lei Xiao and Xia Mingzhu sent Gu Yin to the airport personally. After waiting for awhile, the representative from the medical organization arrived.
“Hello, Professor Guo.” Lei Xiao smiled as he stepped forward and reached out his hand politely.
The representative shook hands with Lei Xiao calmly and then withdrew his hand without uttering a word. His attitude made others feel really uncomfortable.
The young man behind him looked towards Gu Yin. “Can we go now?”
Gu Yin nodded and turned to bid goodbye to the two of them. “I’m heading off now, Uncle and Aunt.”
Lei Xiao took the baggage from the chauffeur and handed them to Gu Yin. “Learn well from your mentors.”
Gu Yin hummed. The representatives from the medical organization had already walked towards the immigration counter. Gu Yin dragged her luggages and followed along.
When she entered the departure hall, she paused and turned around to look at the crowded hall behind her. Under her long eyelashes, her expression was unclear.
Finally, the corner of her lips curled up and she looked away. She strode away with her chin up.
...
Friday afternoon was a school holiday.
Gu Mang slung her bag over her shoulder and walked to the ground level of her dormitory with Meng Jinyang lazily. Then, her phone suddenly rang. She paused and looked down as she took out her phone. Seeing the notification on her phone, she picked up the call.
“Waiting for you at the school gate.” His familiae and pleasing voice was heard on the other end.
“Ah,” Gu Mang answered nonchalantly. “Okay.”
When she hung up and turned around, she saw Meng Jinyang looking at her with a smile. “Was that Mr. Lu?”
Gu Mang raised her beautiful eyebrows and hummed.
Meng Jinyang nodded, lowered her head, and took out a small hand-woven red rubber band from her pocket. Then, she grabbed Gu Mang’s hand, and took off the one that she had been wearing on her wrist for a year.
“I shall give you your birthday gift in advance this year.” She put it on for her.
Every year she would give Gu Mang a red rubber band on her birthday as an amulet for peace. Gu Mang looked at the new red rubber band. This time she had given Gu Mang the red rubber band a day early.
After putting it on, Meng Jinyang let go of her hand and gave her a strange look. She smiled. “In the future, you won’t need me to be there on your birthday, huh?”
Gu Mang looked up and squinted slightly. She put her arm around Meng Jinyang’s shoulder in a nonchalant manner. Then, she lowered her voice. “What kind of look was that?”
Meng Jinyang did not answer. She smiled and pulled her arm down. “Hurry, go and meet Mr. Lu. I’m returning to the dormitory. Bye.”
She ran away after saying that.
Gu Mang grabbed her and pulled her back. She walked towards the dormitory with Meng Jinyang in tow and lowered her voice. “What’s the hurry? Let’s go up together. I have something to grab anyway.”
