Chapter 634: 10,000 Ways To Make a Killing
Gu Yin did not know who had been playing the piano room back then, but one thing was for sure: Master Bi had mistakenly thought that she had been the one playing. He had made a mistake in offering to make her his disciple. As she thought of the past, her older sister’s face somehow appeared in her mind, which made her lower her gaze, concealing her emotions.
According to An An, Master Bi was a member of an important family on Jijing Island that prestigious families in the capital like the Qins and the Hes could not be compared to. Knowing that a member of the Qin family could easily dash her uncle’s hopes of getting a promotion, she could only imagine just how powerful and influential the Bi family was. She had heard about Jijing Island in the medical organization. Many famous medical summits were held there, but few in the organization were eligible to attend them.
If she became Master Bi’s student, Gu Mang could forget about ever catching up to her in her lifetime. So what if the maestro only wanted her as his student because of her older sister’s song? It only benefited her in the end. No one else knew that it was her sister who had been playing the piano that day. It was because of her photo with Master Bi from that day that An An recognized her and, with An An’s status as the president’s second daughter, she successfully became Kang Qi’s protégé. She had reaped all the seeds that her sister had sown. While she was climbing the social ladder such that she was now even in contact with people from Jijing Island, her older sister remained a frog in the well that was the capital.
She could not help but curl her lips in a mocking sneer at the thought of it.
...
Gu Mang spent almost the entirety of her three day break in the dance studio choreographing a dance for Sheng Ting’s new song. Except for meal times, she hardly left the studio. On the afternoon of the last day of the break, she slowly made her way down the stairs while rolling her head to loosen her neck muscles.
When she arrived in the living room, she noticed that Lu Chengzhou was on the phone talking to someone. As he leaned forward slightly to snub the cigarette on the ashtray, he spoke lazily and indifferently as ever. “Keep raising the price.”
Gu Mang was feeling complicated emotions when she felt her phone vibrate. She took it out from her pocket and saw that she had received a message from Lin Shuang. She clicked into the chat, where there was a message from an hour ago that read, [Gu Mang, Lu Chengzhou is now increasing the offer by two hundred million dollars per hour. The offer has already reached 11.7 billion! D*mn! Yun Ling and I really can’t hold ourselves back anymore!]
The latest message read, [It’s 11.9 billion now!]
She received a message from Yun Ling just then. [Boss, that’s an eleven-figure sum! It’s hard to be unmoved by those figures! Why don’t we just accept the mission and get our hands on the money first?]
It was indeed quite hard to remain unmoved. Gu Mang felt the itch to do just that as she gently tapped the side of her phone with a finger. Here I was thinking that I had done a great job making Lu Chengzhou lose so much money during the training session at Red Flame. Tsk. That man is more loaded than I thought.
Her little brother, upon finding out about this matter, immediately sent a message to her. [Sis, we hired too few assassins back then! Why don’t you marry him first and then find some way to kill him later so that you can inherit his fortune?]
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang had set up a group called ‘10,000 ways to make a killing.’ Other than Gu Mang and herself, the members of the group included Yu Zhongjing, Yu Mufeng, Yun Ling, and Gu Si. There was quite an intense discussion going on in the group right now, but Gu Mang ignored it and shove her phone back into her pocket instead.
When Lu Chengzhou saw Gu Mang in his peripheral vision, he turned toward her and said “That’s it.” before ending the call. When she walked over to him, he held her hand and pulled her to the seat next to his. “What time do you have to leave for school?”
She gave him a deep look in return, but he did not understand what it meant. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” She retracted her gaze and told him, “4PM.”
The man nodded. “We’ll have lunch first and get some rest after that. I’ll send you to school later in the afternoon.”
“Okay.” Gu Mang picked up a piece of chocolate from the coffee table and unwrapped it, but before she could pop it into her mouth, her fiancé took it and ate it while licking her fingers in the process. She narrowed her eyes slightly at him, as he unwrapped another piece of chocolate and put it into her mouth. His actions left her at a loss for words.
