Chapter 23: Xiwei’s Medical Skills Are Getting Better and Better

Upon hearing Meng Jinyang’s words, Gu Mang thought of something, and a flash of ruthlessness flickered in her cold eyes.

Lifting her gaze to look at Meng Jinyang’s guilt-ridden face, she suddenly curled her lips into a smile. The corners of her beautiful eyes revealed a wild streak as she said with a nonchalant tone, "Fine. Once we get to school, you’ll be doing my homework for me."

Meng Jinyang’s mouth twitched slightly at this.

Forget it. As long as she was willing to go to school with her, she could handle the homework.

Meng Jinyang’s eyes filled with eagerness. "Then let’s return to Changning Town right now."

Gu Mang, chewing on some cloyingly sweet dried strawberries, kept her dark eyes cold and indifferent. "We don't need to go back to the town. We’re going to Ming City."

Meng Jinyang looked at her in confusion. "Why?"

"My parents died in an accident half a month ago."

"What?!" Meng Jinyang’s expression changed drastically. "How could something like that happen?"

Gu Mang’s expression remained unchanged, her answer concise: "An accident."

Meng Jinyang’s heart pounded violently. "Then what about Gu Yin and Gu Si?"

"Don't worry about that. I’ll find a school in Ming City and go with you."

Gu Mang’s voice was clear and cold. When she mentioned her late parents, her eyes were as calm as a deep pool, with a hint of wicked chill at the corners.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, Meng Jinyang obediently said "oh," and then, hesitating, added, "Then I'm going to go pack my things."

"Mm."

The two plates of dried fruit were almost finished.

Glancing at the girl organizing her luggage, Gu Mang asked casually, "Jinyang, has your body felt any discomfort since the surgery?"

With her back to Gu Mang, Meng Jinyang’s expression was hidden, but her tone sounded very relaxed. "No, it’s quite good. The artificial intestinal organ is much more convenient than the colostomy bag; I can use the bathroom normally now."

Gu Mang kept her cold, dark eyes fixed on Meng Jinyang’s back, ensuring that no tremors, stiffness, or signs of emotional collapse appeared.

Her indifferent gaze returned to her phone screen.

Staring at her chat history with Lin Shuang, the corner of her mouth hooked into a nonchalant arc, both wicked and wild. She also wanted to know who would prevail: herself or Lu Chengzhou.

...

Lu Residence.

Old Mrs. Lu opened her eyes.

Several figures blurred in her vision. Her slack eyelids trembled slightly, and the shadows gradually became clear.

Lu Xiwei was looking at the data on the instruments, whispering something to a few military doctors.

One of the military doctors accidentally glanced toward the hospital bed and, noticing the old lady had woken up, hurriedly said, "Miss Lu, the old lady has woken up."

Lu Xiwei turned her head immediately.

Seeing that the old lady was awake, her eyes widened in excitement. She hurried to the bedside, took hold of those aged hands, and with reddened eyes, whispered, "Grandma!"

Old Mrs. Lu’s voice was weak but stern. "What are you crying for? I’m not dead yet."

"Grandma, don't say such things." Lu Xiwei chided her with a pout, her eyes moist. "You don't know, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to save you."

The military doctor lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

It seemed Miss Lu had decided to claim this successful treatment case as her own.

Authoritative doctors from all over the world had worn out the threshold of the Lu family, yet none had been able to improve the old lady’s condition. If Miss Lu succeeded in the treatment, it would surely shock the international community.

Both fame and fortune would be hers.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Xiwei with a kindly expression. "You’ve worked hard. Xiwei’s medical skills are getting better and better."

Lu Xiwei pursed her lips and smiled, looking very humble.
