“Elder Leng…” Upon hearing that Gu Mang wanted to publish the video, Leng Lin turned to Leng Xuan and whispered her name in a strained voice. Leng Xuan embarrassed herself some time ago. Although the others don’t dare say anything in her presence, they see her as a laughingstock. If she gets into trouble again…
“Gu Mang, do you really think that just because someone managed to upload my video online, you can do the same as well?” Leng Xuan showed no fear as she calmly stood up. A hint of jealousy streaked across her eyes when she saw how close Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou were standing together. A nobody like her isn’t worthy of standing next to the heir of the Lu family.
She wants to do Gu Mang in? As someone who had witnessed how Gu Si made a fool of Leng Xuan and set fire to her goods, Qin Fang could not resist laughing out loud. He quickly realized the inappropriateness of it though. He cleared his throat and tried his best to contain his laughter. “Elder Leng, people like us, whose lives are smooth-sailing, don’t have too many hobbies. We like challenging and exciting things, understand?”
“Try all you want.” Leng Xuan looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Young Master Lu, are you sure you want to meddle in this matter? This is between me, Gu Mang, and Capital University.”
“You sure talk a lot of nonsense,” commented Lu Chengzhou mercilessly as he slipped a hand into his pocket.
Leng Xuan pursed her lips and swept her gaze across He Yidu and Qin Fang. “Who do you think you are to back Gu Mang and Capital University up on Jijing—”
“This way, please, Old Master Bai.”
The meeting room’s door opened wide.
Everyone looked over and saw Tang Er respectfully leading Old Master Bai and Elder Bai into the meeting room.
After passing down all of his family businesses to his eldest son, Old Master Bai has been living a peaceful life and rarely appears in public. What are they doing here? Leng Xuan frowned when she saw the two newcomers. Nevertheless, she greeted them out of respect. “Why are you here, Old Master Bai?”
“I was afraid that my granddaughter would be bullied if I didn’t come,” answered Old Master Bai in a warm but calm manner.
Granddaughter? Leng Xuan was surprised to hear that. The first person that came to mind was Gu Mang. No, that’s impossible. I’ve looked into her background. Her mother’s surname was Lei, and although her father was a successful businessman, he left none of his inheritance to her. How could she possibly be from the Bai family?
While Lu Chengzhou’s expression remained the same, Qin Fang and He Yidu exchanged equally baffled looks with each other. Didn’t Gu Si say that they were from the Gu family? Why is the Bai family involved now?
Upon hearing the newcomer’s voice, Gu Mang turned her body slightly and softened her gaze. Her voice was low and controlled as she said, “Why are you here, Grandpa?”
Everyone on Capital University’s team was dumbfounded by this.
Old Master Bai put a hand behind his back. “I have a rough idea of what happened here. Someone changed your score, is that right?”
“Mm.” The mention of this matter brought about an irritated look on Gu Mang’s face.
Old Master Bai could tell that she was annoyed, so he turned toward Lu Chengzhou. “Is there any other evidence besides the voice recording?”
“Yes, Gu Mang’s answer sheet and the surveillance footage,” answered Lu Chengzhou respectfully.
Old Master Bai instructed, “Take the evidence to the Elders’ Association. If they refuse to settle this matter, then hand the evidence over to the media. The media will make an enemy out of the Bai family if they refuse to report the truth.”
Leng Xuan was still wondering about Gu Mang’s relationship with the Bai family when she heard what Old Master Bai said. Her calm and composed expression crumbled immediately. “I dare you to!”
