Chapter 68: Sowing Discord
Lu Yang also went to shop at the supermarket and happened to bump into Gu Yin’s group. Upon seeing Lu Yang, Gu Yin averted her gaze slightly, concealing her thoughts.
Incidentally, she saw the girl beside her go red in the face and she frowned. Something gleamed in her eyes. The girl’s name was Ruan Qingqing and her family was a nouveau riche of Ming City. To put it crudely, they were the lowest of the rich and powerful. Compared with the rising political families, they were far inferior.
Ruan Qingqing had a pretty good relationship with Lu Yi as she was always following Lu Yi. It turned out that she liked Lu Yang.
Gu Yin stared at her toes for a few seconds, smiled and said, “Qingqing, let’s go over there and see if there is anything Lu Yi would like to eat.”
Ruan Qingqing also looked down at Gu Yin because she felt that Gu Yin was a phony person. Few people in the class know that Gu Yin was the niece of Lei’s family and that she had come to Ming City because the parents passed away but her parents told her not to offend Gu Yin because Lei Xiao was quite powerful now. If she messed with Gu Yin, it would cause much trouble for the Ruans so she smiled with feigned civility. “Okay.”
The girls followed Gu Yin.
“Brother Yang, Sister Mang’s favorite food seems to be out of stock. Why don’t we buy some other stuff?” Fatty searched through the snacks.
Lu Yang’s eyebrows furrowed. “Go and tell the manager. If there are no more goods, hurry up and get them restocked! Don’t they want to run a business?”
Chu Yao’s eyes twitched at the corner. “Young Master, calm down. Sister Mang likes sweet things. There are some new snacks here. We can buy them and let her try them.”
Lu Yang’s expression finally eased. “Buy them all, then. Buy some for Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan too, lest Sister Mang wants to give them her share.”
Their conversation was completely overheard by the girls from Class One.
Gu Yin’s expression was unmoved, keeping up a gentle appearance as she looked for snacks that she liked. Ruan Qingqing’s expression was quite malevolent. Had Lu Yang reached the point of liking Gu Mang and everyone connected to her? Had she no hope left?
When Lu Yang and the others left with the food, Gu Yin also finished choosing what she wanted to eat.
Watching Lu Yang from behind, she slowly said, “My sister has always garnered affection from others ever since she was young. She’s pretty. Lu Yang treats my sister really well.”
Ruan Qingqing’s expression immediately turned grim. She and Lu Yang used to be on good enough terms that they could exchange several words upon bumping into each other. But ever since Gu Mang appeared, she hadn’t been able to do so.
Who in Year Three didn’t know that Ruan Qingqing liked Lu Yang! Gu Mang just had to step in!
Gu Yin laughed a little regretfully, “The only problem with my sister is her studies. She got into a fight before and it was quite serious. I guess Lus treats Gus with disdain given their social status. It might have been a mistake for my sister to meet Lu Yang.”
With that said, she pursed her lips and gasped regretfully as she looked at Ruan Qingqing as she took the food to checkout.
Ruan Qingqing frowned and followed behind Gu Yin absent-mindedly. Gu Mang had gotten into a fight before? Oh yeah, Ms. Luo said that Gu Mang was expelled from her former school because of it.
Lu Yang would definitely give up on Gu Mang once he learned of her true colors. Gu Yin was right. This was a mistake. Mistakes must be corrected.
Maybe they could force Gu Mang to leave!
...
At noon on Friday, Lu Shangjin called as he wanted to have dinner with Gu Mang.
“I have an appointment with Jiang Shenyuan,” Gu Mang said casually. Her leg was raised up and she propped her chin up while holding the phone in the other.
Lu Shangjin said, “Let’s go together then. The more the merrier. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Lawyer Jiang anyways.”
“More people?” Gu Mang squinted, “Who else is coming?”
