Mr. Yi finally understood why Gu Mang was so unwilling to compromise. If this recording was handed to the court, Yi Chen and the rest were doomed.
Even if it leaked online, the online discussion would be unfavorable for Yi Chen and the rest. Even their companies would be affected. Liang Qingru never thought that Gu Mang was so good at holding in her anger. She was too scary.
Gu Mang put her phone away and stuck her hands in her pocket. With a sly smile, she lowered her voice, revealing some rebelliousness. “I’m impatient. Don’t make me wait for too long.”
No one dared to speak. They watched as she left the meeting room.
Liang Qingru clenched her jaw. “Are we really going to prepare everything for her?”
It’s so much money!
Mr. Yi’s face turned sullen the moment Gu Mang left. “Do you have other solutions to save our son?”
Gu Mang was not someone with an ordinary background. She had Director-General Lu and the Department Chief at her back. They did not even dare to resort to other measures.
…
On the way back to Class Twenty, Gu Mang sent Lu Chengzhou a text explaining everything that occured in simple terms. Then they chatted for a while.
When she reached the door to Class Twenty, she put her phone away. As she walked in through the back door of the classroom, three pairs of eyes were glaring at her.
Lu Yang pulled Gu Mang’s chair out for her and even used his school uniform to wipe the seat. He was really annoying. “Sister Mang, please take a seat.”
Gu Mang looked at him expressionlessly and sat down. Fatty and Chu Yao watched her. They had not regained their senses after the shocking news. They had been stunned. Lu Yang and the others were not good at studying. Yi Chen and the rest were very good in their studies. The two groups hated each other and fought countless times, suffering injuries every time.
Yet this big boss had beat all of them at once without a single injury. Impressive!
The news did not get spread because Experimental High School had ways to conceal the matter. Fatty only found out about it when he asked his cousin who worked in the education sector.
“Sister Mang, shall we get something to eat during the next break? My treat.” Fatty’s allowance increased so he was feeling benevolent.
Gu Mang put on her earphones. “Nope.”
She answered with one word and lay on her table to sleep.
Lu Yang knew exactly how to react. “Sister Mang, what do you feel like to eat? I’ll bring it back for you.”
“Anything.” She sounded exhausted as if she hadn’t slept all day.
Lu Yang answered immediately, “Okay.”
When the second class ended, Lu Yang gathered Qin Yaozhi and a few others to head to the supermarket to buy stuff.
…
The Yi family was still persistent on negotiating with Gu Mang and asking her not to be greedy. Who would have thought that the court would send a summons directly to the Yis? When they asked the other four families, they found out that they had all received a summon as well. Gu Mang had already filed a lawsuit.
Liang Qingru held the court summon and shook slightly. “Didn’t Gu Mang say that she would give us time to consider? Why has the court summon arrived so soon?”
Mr. Yi bit his lip. “Her lawyer is Jiang Shenyuan. The court sped up the review in her favor?”
“Now what?” she asked Mr. Yi. Her eyes were red. “Chen Chen cannot go to jail.”
She never thought that Gu Mang would be so quick. Barely half a day had passed. Liang Qingru was really regretful now. If she had known earlier, she would not have alerted the police and sued Gu Mang.
Mr. Yi did not have the energy to blame his wife. He calmed down. “I’ll get help from my friend and sell some land. It should be enough.”
The vigor of their company might be badly affected as well. Liang Qingru’s face was pale. She nodded in a state of puzzlement.
Mr. Yi looked at her. “When that rebellious son returns, you had better stop spoiling him. Teach him a lesson and ensure that he never messes with Gu Mang ever again.”
“Got it…”
