Chapter 867: You Won’t Do Anything Humane!
Old Master Bai knew she had a bad temper so he did not continue. He asked, “How are you preparing for the competition?”
“Reading.” Gu Mang picked up some juice and drank it.
Old Master Bai looked at her and sighed.
If Gu Mang could not rank first, then she would not be qualified to take the assessment. The Elders’ Association would surely set their eyes on Gu Si.
Even if she ranked first, the Base 102 assessment would put her in place.
Either way, the outcome wouldn’t be nice for Gu Mang.
Gu Mang taking the assessment had already been decided. There was no turning back. They could only leave it up to fate.
Old Master Bai changed the topic. “There aren’t many people you can deploy here. Your uncle and I have discussed this. We will send some people here.”
Gu Mang looked up.
“Don’t worry, they were all carefully selected and definitely reliable,” Old Master Bai said.
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. On Jijing Island, it was definitely wiser to have people from the Bai family by her side.
She scanned the subordinates that had come with Old Master Bai, who were standing behind the sofa and she said, “Sure, but not too many. My place is small and I can’t fit all of them.”
Old Master Bai laughed. “Just two. They’re experts.”
Elder Bai raised his chin. One man and one woman walked to the front from behind the sofa.
“Young Lady.” The two bowed. They were both very young and they looked outstanding.
Gu Mang responded with a hum expressionlessly.
“Bai Sui, Bai Qingqing.” Elder Bai introduced them to Gu Mang and continued, “I arranged for a woman so that she could help you out closely.”
Gu Mang nodded and looked at Jiangsui. Then, she lifted her chin. “Make arrangements for their accommodation later on.”
“Got it,” Jiangsui responded respectfully.
Old Master Bai had come to introduce Gu Mang to some helpers as he was worried about her. Now that she had agreed to take them in, his worrying heart relaxed. He knew that Gu Mang had a lot of things to deal with at the moment so he did not stay any longer. After he finished his tea, he left with Elder Bai and the others.
The hall once again returned to peace.
Gu Si and Jiangsui looked at the two newcomers. Gu Mang looked down with her legs crossed and she replied to Yun Ling’s message.
A minute later, she put away her phone, looked at Jiangsui, and ordered, “Follow Gu Si the next few days. The two of them will follow me.”
Jiangsui was stunned but he had no objections. “Got it.”
...
At dinnertime.
Huo Zhi came to the villa and had dinner just like the previous night.
Gu Mang had not come downstairs yet. Only Huo Zhi, Gu Si, and the others were at the dining table.
Gu Si looked at Huo Zhi’s face and bit into his honey-glazed chicken wings with an unhappy expression on his face. They were not as delicious as he had expected.
He wasn’t the kind of person to hold his anger in. He said loudly on the spot, “Bro, please, stop coming. If I eat with you for another two days, my stomach might just stop functioning.”
Huo Zhi held onto his chopsticks and without lifting his head, he answered calmly, “Get the doctors to conduct an examination on Young Master.”
“Got it,” the bald man answered before immediately taking out his phone to call the doctor.
Gu Si glared at Huo Zhi and said through gritted teeth, “You can’t do anything humane!”
Huo Zhi was silent.
“Hmph!” Gu Si hopped out of his seat and filled his bowl with meat. Then, he took his bowl and went to sit at the subordinates’ table.
Bai Qingqing turned and saw Gu Si sitting in the chair beside her.
Gu Si continued to bite into his chicken wing.
Bai Qingqing looked at Huo Zhi at the main table. “Young Master, is Young Lady not coming down for her meal because of Mr. Huo?”
When the others heard the question, they all looked at Gu Si.
“You’re wrong.” Gu Si swallowed the meat. He had grease all over his mouth. “If my sister comes down, Huo Zhi will have to get lost.”
The corner of Bai Qingqing’s lips twitched.
“My sis will never eat at the same table as him,” Gu Si said. “Also, I already have a brother-in-law. He’s really impressive, really rich, and really handsome! He’s way better than some dude with the name Huo.”
Huo Zhi almost crushed the metal chopsticks in his hands. The sound was crisp and loud.
Bai Qingqing was speechless.
...
After Huo Zhi had his meal, he stayed at the table for about half an hour. Still, Gu Mang did not come down.
He looked at the time and got up. Then, he told Jiangsui, “I’ll come and pick her up tomorrow morning and accompany her to the Academic Center.”
He said it as if he were giving an order and left for the exit after that.
Jiangsui narrowed his eyes.
On the other side, Bai Qingqing told Bai Sui, “Didn’t Young Lady say that we would be following her? I don’t think he needs to pick her up.”
Bai Sui glanced at the door and did not say a word.
