Jiang Zi was certain that catching Eel was only a matter of time, and his entire posture relaxed a lot.

When Gu Man woke up again, the Chinese class had already ended.

She raised her head slightly and looked at her classmates who had already scattered.

Only then did she realize that it was time for lunch.

Gu Man glanced at her watch and realized that someone had sent her a message.

She took out her phone from her desk cubby and realized that it was a message from Zhen Rong. In the meaning between the lines, he wanted to thank her for saving his life and invited her to dinner tonight.

Gu Man, who was about to refuse, saw the next message from Zhen Rong.

“Miss Gu, I have to treat you to this meal. You don’t want any other compensation, so I can only treat you to a meal. Please don’t refuse.”

Gu Man thought that even if she rejected him, Zhen Rong would probably find another opportunity in the future. She might as well agree tonight.

After a simple reply, she put away her cell phone.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to end. Gu Man carried her bag and walked out the door, but she saw a familiar car at the school gate.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhen Rong’s message on her phone. After some thought, she went to the black car.

Before she could get close, the car window was already rolled down.

“I happened to be on my way here. I realized that it’s when school ends so I came to pick you up. Do you mind?”

Gu Man shook her head first and continued, “I don’t mind, but 1 have something on tonight. You don’t have to fetch me.”

Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked almost subconsciously, “What is it?”

“A meal.”

As she spoke, Gu Man had already straightened up and did not seem to want to say anything else.

Xiang Yin opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he looked at Gu Man’s face, he was a little hesitant. He was afraid that if he said too much, he would annoy her.

In the end, he only nodded. The car window slowly closed and the car gradually disappeared from Gu Man’s line of sight. However, she was still looking in the direction the car had left in, thinking about something.

Gu Man only retracted her gaze when a car stopped in front of her.

The car window was pulled down, and Zhen Rong sat in the driver’s seat with a smile on his face.

She originally thought that there were only the two of them, but Gu Man was a little stunned when she saw the woman in the front passenger seat.

The woman slowly turned her head. There were some marks left on her face by time, but she still looked beautiful.

The woman smiled slightly and had an amiable aura.

“Do you mind if I disturb you? I’m Zhen Rong’s mother. I’m very grateful for your actions of saving Zhen Rong, and I want to personally come and thank you.”

Gu Man nodded in response. To her, it didn’t matter if there was one more person or not.

Except…

Gu Man looked at the faint fog on the woman’s head and it was still related to her relationship. However, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and she could not go up and tell others that there was a rift in her relationship and that she had to separate from the person she loved as soon as possible, or her life would be in danger.

She felt that if she really said that, even if they wouldn’t say anything because she saved their lives, they would definitely be angry.

Hence, Gu Man only took a few more glances before opening the door of the backseat and sitting in.

As soon as she sat in, she felt Zhen Rong’s mother’s passionate enthusiasm. The woman, who was originally sitting in the front passenger seat, actually opened the car door and sat in the back with Gu Man.

“How can 1 let you sit in the back alone?”

She gently patted the back of the driver’s seat and gestured for Zhen Rong to start the car.

Gu Man was surprised by the woman’s enthusiasm, but she, who did not like to socialize, still looked cold.

However, this did not affect the woman’s enthusiasm. She still spoke in full swing and made small talk with Gu Man, even though she did not get a response.

As they spoke, the car had already arrived at Restaurant Fragrance.

To Gu Man’s surprise, they were actually brought into the Seven Stars Sect. She glanced at the woman beside her who was still talking non-stop.

The fog above her still lingered on her body, refusing to dissipate.

It seemed that the situation was a little serious. She could remind them when the time came..
