Lu Shangjin greeted him. “Chengzhou.”

With that said, he pulled the door open.

Gu Mang lowered her head as she got into the car.

Lu Shangjin went to the other side, closed the door, and asked, “How’s Granny?”

Lu Yi recovered from the astonishment of seeing Lu Shangjin, his sixth master, personally opening the door for Gu Mang, and he started the car stiffly like a robot.

Lu Chengzhou said, “The military doctor is treating her. It doesn’t look too good.”

As he said that, his eyes remained fixed on Gu Mang.

The girl sat languidly in the back seat as she played on her phone. Her posture was sloppy as though she sat in whatever posture was most comfortable.

But her cold aura was enough to stop anyone from making idle chatter.

Was she the doctor that his sixth uncle was referring to?

When Lu Shangjin heard that the old lady was in bad health, he, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but get anxious. “I heard that her condition improved a few days ago. How did it suddenly make a turn for the worse?”

Lu Chengzhou uttered three words. “I don’t know.”

Noticing the bright red rubber band on Gu Mang’s wrist, his eyebrow rose.

The little red band on the wrist made her fair and delicate wrists stand out.

Without looking up, Gu Mang could feel him staring at her.

His sharp gaze couldn’t be ignored.

Without averting her gaze, she s.h.i.+fted herself into a more comfortable posture and continued to play the game as though nothing happened.

It were as though she saw nothing worth her notice.

…

The car parked in front of the Lu residence’s gate.

Lu Shangjin said, “Chengzhou, take Gu Mang inside. I’ll wait for her outside.”

Lu Chengzhou put a hand in his pocket and his eyes narrowed. “Let’s go in together. Grandma wants to see Sixth Uncle too.”
