Chapter 10: So They Were Siblings After All

Chapter 10: So They’re Siblings

He Yiwu casually rested both hands on the steering wheel, smiling. “Yesterday, her friend casually asked for tens of millions, acting so calm in a place like Tianque. But today, she pitifully went to buy clothes for twenty yuan? Can you even wear something for twenty yuan?”

Twenty yuan wouldn’t even buy them a bottle of water.

Lu Chengzhou propped his chin with his hand, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly with a cold sharpness. If he smiled, it would surely be captivating and haunting.

He spoke casually, “Beautiful.”

Qin Fang and He Yiwu nodded in strong agreement, a flash of playful mischief passing between their eyes when they glanced at each other.

Looks like Brother Cheng is a little smitten.

“Too bad she’s already a mother,” Qin Fang said regretfully.

The light turned green, and He Yiwu pressed the accelerator.

…

Gu Si picked out clothes just like Gu Mang—only black or white.

He took every black and white piece that fit from the store and headed to the checkout.

After spending over two hundred yuan, the shopkeeper’s wife beamed with happiness and saw them off at the door.

Nearby, there was a backpack sale.

Gu Si casually grabbed a black one, stuffed all the clothes he bought inside, and swung it wildly onto his back.

The two of them walked to Mingcheng’s most famous shopping mall.

Gu Si looked up at the resplendent building, “Sis, what did you bring me here for?”

So many people.

His sister hated crowds the most.

Gu Mang said, “To eat.”

They went to the priciest restaurant in the mall, where the average cost per person was four thousand seven hundred yuan.

Gu Si glanced at the table full of lobster, beef, and lamb, along with exquisite dishes, and twitched his eye.

This table probably held all the most expensive items in the entire restaurant!

“Sis, you suddenly bring me to eat this well, I suspect you’re not sending me off to school tonight but sending me on my way,” he swallowed hard, his expression complicated. “A last meal?”

Gu Mang rolled up her sleeves to mid-forearm, her fair and beautiful wrist propping up her chin. With her other hand, she lazily rubbed the milk tea cup.

Under the lights, her clear eyes were too perfectly shaped, the corner of her mouth curled into a half-smile—mischievous and wild. “Not quite a last meal, but close enough.”

Gu Si dropped a piece of meat from his chopsticks into the bowl.

Gu Mang smiled. “Eat up, eat more, so you can have a good journey.”

Gu Si curled his lip and picked up the meat again to shove into his mouth. “I don’t believe you’d really do that. I’m such a good kid. Where else would you find such a perfect little brother?”

“Brother? Isn’t he your son?” A male voice suddenly interrupted.

The curve of Gu Mang’s mouth tightened slightly, and her cold eyes shifted subtly.

Qin Fang and He Yiwu were walking ahead.

Lu Chengzhou followed behind, his steps light and leisurely, one hand in his pocket, exuding a commanding presence.

His short hair was neat, his brows sharp and eyes bright. He wore a black shirt with gold edges, two buttons undone at the collar, revealing the outline of his collarbone.

No wonder he was the famous Young Master Lu—quite the commanding aura.

Qin Fang rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “So they’re not mother and son, but siblings. They look really alike.”

“Obviously!” Gu Si rolled his eyes. He looked like no one else but his sister!

He Yiwu laughed without restraint. “This kid’s pretty cocky.”

“Qin Fang, He Yiwu, do you know them?”

A woman followed the three, dressed entirely in designer brands, exuding elegance and grace.

The demeanor of a noble heiress from a prestigious family.

Yu Shu cast a subtle glance up and down at Gu Mang.

Qin Fang said, “We’ve met before, I guess.”

Gu Mang replied, “I don’t know them.”

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Qin Fang rubbed his nose.

He Yiwu chuckled mischievously and explained to Yu Shu, “We’ve seen them a few times, never greeted, not close.”

Yu Shu nodded, unconsciously pursing her lips.

Not close, huh?
