Two hours had passed since Yu Shu received the news.
Yue Qing and the others had been sent abroad overnight by the family and they might not come back in the future, which is no different from being expelled.
The businesses of several families have also suffered a series of heavy losses.
Lu Chengzhou was quicker and harsher than Yu Shu thought. If the Lu family really wanted to go against the Yu family, the Yu family had no power to resist them.
Yu Shu walked around the room in fear.
…
On the other side, the banquet was over.
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang and Huo Zhi who were talking not far away. His eyes were dark and heavy. Lu Yi couldn’t tell whether his master was angry or not, but from his instincts, he did not even dare to breathe too heavily.
He then secretly glanced at the two people who seemed to be talking quite harmoniously and he was even more afraid.
“If you have what it takes to find him, then take him away,” Gu Mang smiled and said. She put on her cap, stuck her hands into her pocket, and turned around.
She saw some women in evening gowns looking at Lu Chengzhou. She squinted and a smile flashed in the corner of her mouth.
Gu Mang walked to Lu Chengzhou and lifted her chin to point at the car with the very eye-catching license plate. She said casually, “Let’s go home.”
Lu Yi could feel the pressure around him disappear in an instant. Ever since his master got together with Ms. Gu, he felt like his master no longer had a bad temper.
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang and the corner of his lips curled up. He nodded. “Mmh, let’s go home.”
He turned around and opened the car door for her. Gu Mang bent down to enter the car.
Lu Chengzhou rested his wrist on the car door and his fingers hung down casually. He lifted his dark eyes and looked at Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi was looking at them.
The two of them made eye contact. The aura that they both gave off was identical.
With Gu Mang seated, Lu Chengzhou smirked a little and casually retracted his gaze. He closed the car door and got in from the other side. The car drove out of Huo Zhi’s line of sight.
The bald man glanced at Huo Zhi cautiously. His eyes were as deep and as cold as a winter lake. They were almost pitch black.
He stood still for a whole two minutes.
Huo Zhi looked down and walked towards his car.
When he got in, the bald headed man put on a tough front and asked, “Sir, are we returning to Jijing Island?”
They had come all the way here just to see Ms. Gu.
The clear outline of Huo Zhi’s distinct face was hidden in shadow and his voice was extremely calm. “Mingyu Island.”
When the bald man heard this, he was shocked for a while. When he reacted, he did not dare to add on any words. He just responded respectfully and lowered his head.
…
In Lu Chengzhou’s car.
As soon as she got in the car, she found a comfortable posture and pressed down her hat which covered her eyebrows. She seemed to be very tired.
Lu Chengzhou was silent for a while when he saw her do that. Suddenly, he reached out to her waist and brought her onto his lap. He also removed the baseball cap and put it aside.
Gu Mang did not expect that. Everything before her went blurry and suddenly she realized that she was sitting on his lap.
The two of them faced each other and his hands were on her waist. He did not apply much force but he was pressing on her leg so she could not struggle.
Gu Mang was silent. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow as if asking him what he was up to.
Lu Yi, who was sitting in front, heard a sound in the back and looked into the rearview mirror. He immediately looked away and raised the divider in the middle.
It was silent in the back seat for about two minutes.
Lu Chengzhou looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, “If you are unhappy about me, speak up. Don’t ignore me.”
Gu Mang said expressionlessly, “I’m really tired.”
Lu Chengzhou held her finger and looked up. He laughed. “Do you think that I believe you?”
Gu Mang was silent.
She did not answer. Suddenly, Lu Chengzhou said, “Fine, since you are tired, then you can fall asleep in my arms.”
