Chapter 861: Gu Mang Is The Real Owner!

Gu Mang played games for a while before falling asleep. When she woke up from her nap, they had arrived at Jijing Island.

Jiangsui sent Gu Si back to the villa. Gu Mang drove to the hotel to meet Yang Tianming.

When Shen Qianzi and Qiao You saw Gu Mang, they avoided eye contact with her.

Gu Mang’s status on the island was very different from before. Even Master Bi, whom Shen Qianzi was very proud of having as a master, had to bow to Gu Mang. What’s more, both of them had heard about what had happened in the capital.

They wondered if Matriarch Lu was mentally unsound when she made her will. There was no way Gu Mang could be her heir.

Yet, Gu Mang had still accepted the inheritance.

The inheritance was worth ten times the net worth of the Qiao family.

Shen Qianzi, the young lady who had no real power in the Shen family, was even less comparable.

“Professor Yang.” Gu Mang greeted him politely.

Yang Tianming nodded. “Come with me to the room.”

Gu Mang responded with a hum. The two entered the room and sat down on the sofa.

Yang Tianming looked at Gu Mang and poured some water for her. “I heard about what happened in the capital. Matriarch Lu…”

He stopped although he seemed to have more to say. Gu Mang took the cup of water from him and thanked him politely. She did not continue the conversation.

Yang Tianming had heard about the chaos in the capital some time ago. The military and the police had taken such extreme measures to search for her. Everyone knew about the search due to how conspicuous it had been.

Yang Tianming guessed that it was related to Gu Mang’s treatment. Now that she could return to Jijing Island after going to the capital, it must mean that the management of Jijing Island and the Gu family had negotiated with the Lu family.

Yang Tianming sighed and changed the topic. “Are you still going to continue competing?”

Gu Mang had special status now. He did not know if she would continue the competition.

The girl nodded. “My name is on the participants’ list.”

“Alright. The debate competition will end in two days. Prepare for the upcoming oral examinations and the clinical trials.”

“Mm.”

Yang Tianming went through the problems in the competition that she should take note of since she had missed out on team strategy over the past few days. The whole time, Gu Mang only nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. She said very little.

…

Outside.

Shen Qianzi and Qiao You glanced at the door that was tightly shut.

“Who would give their inheritance entirely to an outsider? Was Madam Lu crazy?” Qiao You frowned as she said.

There are so many people in the Lu family. How could Gu Mang, an outsider, inherit the family’s assets?

Shen Qianzi held a cup and thought about the situation on Jijing Island that Master Bi had told her about a few days ago. His elder brother had a big project in hand and he had already discussed his intention to collaborate with the board of directors on the project.

Huo Zhi and the Head Elder were very interested in it. As long as they succeed in negotiations, it could give the Shen family access to Jijing Island.

At the moment, she was most worried about Gu Mang. They had heard that Huo Zhi was just the acting head of the council. Gu Mang was the real council head.

Gu Mang has returned. Will she mess with our project just because I once offended her?

At first, she had not been worried. Originally, Gu Mang had been powerless. The Elders’ Association would never have listened to Gu Mang. Now, things were different.

Gu Mang had the Lu Military Group behind her as well as half of the Lu family’s wealth.

Qiao You was still talking about the inheritance. She pouted. “I wonder what kind of tricks Gu Mang resorted to such that Matriarch Lu would give her half of the Lu family’s assets.”

Just as she said that, the door opened. Gu Mang and Yang Tianming walked out of the room.

Qiao You pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Shen Qianzi looked over and she stared at Gu Mang for two seconds before saying, “Professor Yang, will Gu Mang continue to compete in the competition?”

Yang Tianming was not in the mood for more explanations. He responded with a hum and sent Gu Mang to the doorstep of the suite.

Gu Mang bade Yang Tianming goodbye and left the hotel, heading for her car. She opened the car door and got in. The phone in her pocket rang suddenly.

She took it out and looked at it. It was a call from Gu Si.
