Chapter 849: Did I Agree To The Marriage Arrangement?

When Huo Zhi heard that, he looked at Gu Mang from the corner of his eyes.

He wondered how Gu Mang managed to convince Lu Chengzhou to let her leave.

Gu Mang was in a very bad mood and he did not think that it was necessary to p.i.s.s her off anymore. These days, his relations.h.i.+p with her was even tenser than it was before.

So he did not ask about Lu Chengzhou.

Gu Mang crossed her legs and leaned back lazily. Her posture made her seem overbearing. “What? Are you afraid that Red Flame will attack Jijing Island?”

Red Flame had a bad reputation but their capabilities were terrifying. So internationally, many people found them frightening.

Even Jijing Island did not want to mess with an opponent like that.

Old Master Gu looked forward to seeing Gu Mang. He had not seen his granddaughter for around six to seven years and he had long heard that she was a difficult person.

Now that they had met in person, she seemed even more unruly.

His son and Ms. Bai were both well-mannered people with gentle temperaments. He did not expect they would raise Gu Mang to be a person with such a weird temper.

But no matter how untamed she was, she still returned.

The Lu family and Red Flame did not take any action either.

When Old Master Gu thought of this, the cold glow in his eyes subsided a little. He picked up his teacup and smiled. “Gu Mang, I’ll teach you a concept today. A well arranged marriage is one where both families are of equal social rank.”

Gu Mang did not speak. She looked down naturally and her eyes seemed to be colder than before.

Old Master Gu took a sip of tea and said slowly, “You’re clever, so you should know that being clever alone is insufficient. What status does Lu Chengzhou hold? And what status do you hold? With the a.s.sets that you had before coming to Jijing Island, you are far below the powerful Lu family.”

The big boss of Red Flame had always been known to be extremely mysterious.

Just like the big boss of Shadow League.

The fact that Lu Chengzhou would expose himself to Gu Mang was beyond Old Master Gu’s expectations. Now, if Red Flame dared to take any action, they would surely drag the Lu family along in a war against Jijing Island.

Big families like theirs valued benefits over everything else. Who would be willing to engage in a bad trade for Gu Mang?

“Did you think that the Lu family would offend Jijing Island just so they could keep you?” Old Master Gu looked up and stared at Gu Mang’s face with his sharp and incisive eyes. “Even if Lu Chengzhou would, do you think Lu Zhan would agree to it?”

Gu Mang still looked down nonchalantly as if she had not taken in anything that he had said.

Old Master Gu laughed. “Come back to the Gu family. Acknowledge your roots and ancestors. Go through the training and tests of the Elders’ a.s.sociation. That is your path. In the future, you will be the Young Lady of the Gu family, the heir to Jijing Island.”

Gu Si did not have a strong impression of Old Master Gu.

Now that he had heard him speak, his eyes narrowed slightly and he stared at the old man carefully just like he stared at Gu Yin.

As for Gu Yin, her lips made her look like she was holding back laughter. She thought that Gu Mang must be crazy.

In the past, she had not shown any interest in Mom and Dad’s inheritance and she was not interested in the medical organization either. This was all because Gu Mang had known about the existence of the Gu family.

She did not expect that Gu Mang would even be disinterested in being the heir to Jijing Island.

How silly. I wonder why they even picked her.

Old Master Gu continued, “Since you have returned to Jijing Island and you already have a marriage arrangement, I hope that I won’t have to personally interfere with your private matters.”

Someone laughed in the living room.

Everyone looked at Gu Mang.

Gu Mang looked up slowly, her eyes slightly shut. When she spoke, she sounded like she was laughing.

“Marriage arrangement…” Gu Mang picked up the teacup and said nonchalantly, “Did I agree to it?”

Old Master Gu smiled. “By your parents’ order and on the matchmaker’s word.”

“My parents died a long time ago. What order are you talking about?” Gu Mang rested one hand on the sofa’s armrest. “If this is your last wish, then you’d better hurry up and meet up with them so you can complain to them about me.”

Clearly, she was telling Old Master Gu that he should drop dead.

Old Master Gu’s face stiffened.
