Chapter 812 - A Big Win!
Chapter 812: A Big Win!
Just then, Leng Xuan’s phone rang.
She did not move. She just glared at the coffee table, her eyes bloodshot red.
Leng Yun picked up Leng Xuan’s phone and looked at the screen. She passed it to Leng Xuan with trembling hands. “Elder, it’s a call from the Head Elder.”
Leng Xuan’s face was tense and she forced herself to calm down. Then, she picked up the call.
…
At the Gu manor.
The lands surrounding the estate could only be described with the word “large.” The buildings were built in a retro-style with exquisite carvings.
There were many villas nearby.
Old Master Gu had his hands behind his back and he stood in front of the French windows that were three stories high. “Are Gu Mang and Leng Xuan fighting with each other?”
The butler beside him bowed slightly and answered respectfully, “Yes. Leng Xuan messed with our young lady first. We don’t know how the young lady got the recording and also her own exam. She also didn’t get discovered when she recorded the conversations in the meeting room.”
Old Master Gu turned around and walked towards the sofa. “If she cannot even handle such a small issue well, then I will have to reconsider the way that I am raising Gu Si.”
Back then, Gu Mang had been totally out of control. She was very ruthless.
She was like a wolf.
He almost wanted to throw everything away and take Bai Xu and Gu Si away from Jijing Island.
Gu Mang had not received professional training at all and so she was already very far behind. If she could not even show a little bit of capability, she would not be fit to be his granddaughter.
The butler said, “Leng Xuan suffered a double loss. All these years, no one has been able to get young lady back. She has, in a way, helped us out.”
Old Master Gu laughed and seemed to have thought of something, so he asked, “Why does Leng Xuan have something against Gu Mang all of a sudden? What happened at the capital?”
With that, he sat on the sofa.
The butler poured him a cup of tea and handed it to the man. “I heard from the team who accompanied Leng Xuan there that it is because of the heir of the Lu family.”
“The Lu family?” Old Master Gu paused while he was drinking tea. “Lu Chengzhou?”
The butler nodded. “Things aren’t very smooth at the Lu residence at the moment. The old lady’s time is almost up.”
Old Master Gu took a sip of tea and pondered.
After a while, he looked up and said, “Do me a favor.”
…
On the Capital University’s side.
The truth about the tampered score was out and everyone was finally in the mood to eat.
But it was exceptionally quiet at the dining table.
This time, Yang Tianming and Professor Xue did not even have to interfere at all.
It was a big win for Capital University!
Leng Xuan had just apologized on all international social media platforms. The Elders’ Association took away parts of her power and she was no longer allowed to interfere with any medical-related competitions in the future.
After several twists, it was as if Leng Xuan’s pride had been stepped on by everyone.
Yang Tianming and Professor Xue, both of whom were over 50 years old, still couldn’t snap back to reality.
Qiao You was fearful. She had always thought that Gu Mang did not have a good background and that she just relied on the Lu family to back her up. But today, she met someone whom she would never have been able to meet in her life, thanks to Gu Mang.
The head of the Bai family, the head of the Leng family and the Head Elder of the Elder’s Association…
Shen Qianzi looked down and poked the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.
The Shen family had thought of all sorts of ways to send her to Jijing Island so she could become Leng Xuan’s apprentice. This would pave the family’s way to establish themselves on Jijing Island.
She looked down on Gu Mang the most. Yet, Gu Mang was apparently from Jijing Island. What’s more, she was the granddaughter in the Bai family.
That meant Gu Yin was also from the Bai family but it seemed like she did not know.
…
On the medical organization team’s side.
During the written test, many people had looked down on Gu Mang. But after Gu Mang’s results were released, they were dealt a harsh slap to their faces.
She wasn’t even a part of the medical organization but she scored better than the people who have been with the medical organization for so long.
In fact, she overthrew them.
Gu Yin sat in her own room and all she could think about was Gu Mang ranking first again.
Just then, the phone by her hand rang suddenly. She picked it up and clicked into WeChat.
When she saw that it was a message from Shen Qianzi, she stared blankly in shock.
