Mrs. Sang looked at Gu Mang. The girl stood with sloppy, bent legs. There was a fake smile on her face and her delicate eyebrows were cold and cruel. She was definitely not an easygoing person.
Mrs. Sang was not sure what else to do. She was silent for two seconds before she said, “You should apologize if you are in the wrong. Even though Ms. Gu beat you up, you were the one who provoked all of this. You should apologize.”
In a way, she was implying that Gu Mang had beaten Sang Xue up to the extent that she was hospitalized, so both parties were equal now. If Sang Xue apologized to them now, she assumed they would not act unreasonably.
Sang Xue clenched her teeth. She could not bring herself to apologize.
Time passed slowly. The whole room was enveloped in the powerful aura of the two people across from her.
Old Master Sang and Mrs. Sang looked more and more displeased.
After a while, Sang Xue lowered her head in humiliation and said, “I’m sorry.”
When she said that, Old Master Sang added on quickly, “Ms. Gu, my granddaughter knows that she is in the wrong now. She’s still young. She only acted rashly and took action because her favorite item was smashed. She has learned her lesson, could you…”
Gu Mang scoffed and asked slowly, “Favorite item?”
Mrs. Sang answered, “The cup with President Bai’s signature. It wasn’t easy for her to get it. She has always wanted to become an outstanding lawyer like President Bai so she treasures the autographed mug very much.”
“Do you mean this?” Gu Mang took the paper bag from Lu Chengzhou’s hand and removed a cup from it. She let it hang by the handle on her finger as she moved slowly. She treated it as if it were an item with no value at all.
When Sang Xue saw that the cup looked exactly like hers, she froze. “How did you…”
Old Master Sang and Mrs. Sang were also shocked.
Bai Yong, the President of the International Law Association, was a member of the Bai family on Jijing Island. His status was legendary.
They both knew how hard it was to get his signature.
Gu Mang actually got it?
The most important thing was that the cup was limited edition. Even if someone could afford to buy it, they would not be able to find one for sale.
Gu Mang walked over to Sang Xue unhurriedly with a smile on her face. “I’m giving this to you on behalf of Meng Jinyang.”
Sang Xue frowned. She did not believe that Gu Mang would be so kind-hearted so she looked at her cautiously.
When Old Master Sang and Mrs. Sang saw that Gu Mang had given Sang Xue the cup, their tense hearts relaxed a little. It seems like the Sang family and Gu Mang were not totally on irreconcilable terms yet.
There was still room to turn things around.
Gu Mang stopped in front of Sang Xue and held the cup in front of her. Nonchalantly, she said, “This is the one, right?”
Sang Xue looked at the signature. There was no way she could question its legitimacy as the mug alone was worth tens of thousands. There was no way it could have a fake signature on it. Also, Bai Yong was in the capital recently.
The cup was something that she had spent a lot of effort and time to get. She had also used it to show off to others. Yet, Gu Mang could get it so easily.
Sang Xue clenched her fist in anger. She could still recall the way she sneered at Meng Jinyang and mocked her for not being able to buy the mug last night.
Gu Mang had one hand in her pocket and she looked down at Sang Xue. She used the cup to tap her face.
She looked obnoxious and unbridled.
The corners of her beautiful mouth were turned up, revealing a little ruthlessness. “I don’t like to owe people things. Since we broke your mug, we will buy it for you.”
Gu Mang tossed the cup at Sang Xue. The cup was cold. When it hit Sang Xue’s face, her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by the cold and she did not dare to move.
Old Master Sang and Mrs. Sang also sensed that Gu Mang’s attitude was not what they expected it to be.
The cup slid down Sang Xue’s face and landed on the blanket. Sang Xue’s heart skipped heavily. Her mind was tense.
Gu Mang tilted her head to look at Sang Xue and she smiled. Her eyes looked sly and cold. “Keep it as a souvenir and a reminder of everything that happened yesterday and today. Bring it into court,” she said slowly.
Although she was clearly smiling, it made the Sang family shudder.
The words “bring it into court” got on Sang Xue’s nerves.
She looked up suddenly. “I’ve apologized to you and you are still going to hold onto this matter?! Gu Mang, don’t go overboard!”
