Chapter 65: Is That Person Living Well?

At that moment, the office door was pushed open. "Gu Mang."

The man's voice was clean and magnetic, his enunciation exceptionally crisp—a professional habit of a lawyer.

Gu Mang turned her head.

Jiang Shenyuan walked in front, followed by a female assistant carrying a cup of coffee and a cup of honey-pomelo tea, which she placed on the coffee table.

Jiang Shenyuan put the documents in his hand onto the desk, strode over, and sat down opposite her. "How have you been lately? You came to the Capital without even a word, pulling a surprise attack on me?"

His tone was brimming with familiarity.

Gu Mang picked up the honey-pomelo tea, took a sip, and said flatly, "It's about Jinyang."

Jiang Shenyuan's expression tightened. "What's wrong with Jinyang?"

Gu Mang lifted her eyelids, her dark eyes like cold pools fixing on him, her gaze extremely sharp. "The person who hurt Jinyang is about to be released. I want you to file another appeal."

The tightly wound string in Jiang Shenyuan's mind finally relaxed. "I know what you mean. The laws regarding this area were amended this year just in time. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Gu Mang nodded, looking nonchalant. "Is that person living well?"

Her voice carried a chilling undertone, both eerie and rebellious.

Jiang Shenyuan smiled. "Beaten to that extent by you, he went in weighing a hundred and eighty pounds, and now he's down to a hundred, just skin and bones. His mental state is getting increasingly unstable, and he's been taught plenty of lessons. Do you think he's living well?"

Not well. That was great.

The corner of Gu Mang's mouth hooked up, carrying a trace of cold ruthlessness. "I am very satisfied with this outcome."

Jiang Shenyuan picked up his coffee, and recalling the events of those years, a cold light flashed across the depths of his eyes. "There are rules everywhere. Vicious scumbags who prey on the elderly, the weak, women, and children will not come to a good end. He will certainly not have it easy in prison."

Gu Mang said nothing more.

After a brief silence, Jiang Shenyuan asked, "Let's talk about you. What have you been up to lately? I heard that your parents..."

"An accident," Gu Mang said concisely. Not wanting him to keep asking, she simply laid it all out at once. "I sent Gu Su away, and Gu Yin went to my uncle's place."

Jiang Shenyuan could roughly guess the situation. That bunch of relatives were all terrible, profit-driven vultures.

Still, he really wanted to see their expressions when they eventually found out Gu Mang's true identity; it ought to be quite interesting.

He asked, "What are you doing lately?"

"Going to school," Gu Mang said indifferently. "Preparing for the college entrance examination."

Jiang Shenyuan almost spat out his coffee, incredulous. "Are you out of your mind? Going in for the college entrance examination? If you want to go to university, just say the word, and I can send you straight in—the best law major in the entire country. Why bother with such a huge detour?"

Gu Mang smiled, crossing her legs, resting her face on one hand, and slowly spoke, "Do I need you to find a way if I want to enter a university?"

Her tone was arrogant and untamed.

Jiang Shenyuan choked for a moment. True enough, did the big shot need his help?

One of Gu Mang's eyebrows arched, looking exceptionally wicked. "I'm keeping Jinyang company at school."

Jiang Shenyuan looked at her in astonishment. "She's able to go to school now? Isn't she afraid of crowds? Has she recovered that well?"

Gu Mang nodded. "Just leave this matter alone for now. Make sure you arrange the thing I mentioned."

"Don't worry." Jiang Shenyuan glanced at the time. "How about we grab dinner together?"

"No need. I only took a day off, and I have to head back to school."

With that, the young woman stood up, her legs long and straight, pulled her cap over her head, and swung her bag over her shoulder.
