Third Uncle sent the siblings to the airport.
When Gu Mang got out from the car, she thanked him.
Third Uncle stood in front of the car as he looked at the attractive siblings and laughed. “Why are you being so polite? You’re young and it’s not easy to earn a living. However, Gu Si’s studies shouldn’t be delayed. Time shouldn’t be wasted further.”
He truly cared about them.
Gu Mang nodded and said, “Please rest assured, Gu Si will be taking part in the university entrance exams this year.”
“What?” Third Uncle looked at them in a daze. Moments later, he spoke in a stiffened manner, “Gu Si is taking part… in this year’s university entrance exams?”
Gu Mang took the university entrance exams when she was seven years-old. Was Gu Si doing the same this year? His glance shifted to the eight year-old Gu Si and he could not return to his senses for a long while.
This…
Gu Mang hummed and said casually, “Just you and Third Auntie know of this matter.”
Third Uncle nodded blankly. “You siblings…”
Really love to disguise yourselves.
Gu Mang took out her phone and tapped on the screen. “I’ll entrust my parents’ tombs to you and Third Auntie from now on.”
“Please rest assured…” Before Third Uncle could reply, a message from the bank notifying him of a transfer lit up his phone screen.
He looked at the long string of zeros behind the number one in front.
Eight figures!
His hand trembled from shock as he looked at Gu Mang in disbelief. “Gu-Gu Mang, did you just transfer this?”
She acknowledged without much expression.
Third Uncle thought of his phone as a hot potato. With trembling hands, he was trying to return the money on his phone. “This can’t work! How can I take your money? It isn’t a huge trouble to take care of your parents’ tombs.”
Gu Mang looked at him. “Qiqi is taking her middle school entrance exams this year. Clearwater High School is too suppressing. Let her go to Ming City High School.”
She did not bring Meng Jinyang to Clearwater High School because the students over there prioritized studies and the environment was too stifling.
A normal school suited Meng Jinyang more.
When Third Uncle heard her, he paused as he lifted his head and looked at her with a trembling gaze. “Gu Mang, you… you’re trying to help Qiqi find a school?”
Gu Mang nodded. “Buy a house near the school. It’s convenient.”
“No way, no way.” Third Uncle insisted on not taking the money and transferred the sum back to Gu Mang the next second. “I can’t take your money. It’s sufficient that you’re helping Qiqi look for a school. It’s ok to let her stay in Ming City High School’s hostel too.”
Looking at the money transferred to her phone, Gu Mang did not respond.
Gu Si found it speechless. “Sis, let me do it.”
Gu Mang was too lazy to move so she passed the phone to him.
Gu Si tapped on the phone screen and transferred the money back to Third Uncle. “Third Uncle, just take it or treat it as if my sister bought a house for Sister Qiqi.”
Looking at the bank notification on his phone, Third Uncle’s eyes reddened. “Aye, you’re making me receive it in shame. I’m a man in his forties. How can I take a young girl’s money…”
Gu Mang interrupted him. “Regarding the purchase of the house, I’ll get Lu Shangjin to keep a lookout for you.”
Third Uncle was shocked. “It’s… Director-General Lu?”
Lei Xiao was Ming City’s official and they had always heard names of big figures in the Ming City’s officialdom from him. The most powerful was the head, Lu Shangjin. Gu Mang was going to get Director-General Lu to help them look for a house?! Third Uncle felt his heart thumping wildly and he was in a daze as his legs turned to jelly.
“It’s him.” Gu Si looked at the time and said, “Gu Si and I need to leave first.”
Third Uncle returned to his senses as he held his phone uneasily and looked at the siblings. His eyes felt warm and he could not utter a single word.
After five seconds had passed, he looked at Gu Si and instructed him, “Do well on your university entrance exams.”
Gu Si smiled widely. “I got it, Third Uncle. You can head back.”
