Chapter 691: Is She Trying To Look Smart by Displaying So Many Books on the Bookshelf?

Gu Mang looked at them, then pulled out the casebook that Yang Tianming had given to her from the bookshelf and handed it to them.
“Read this.
It should be of help to you.”

Tang Xiaoxiao took the book from her.
When she flipped to the first page and saw the list of top notch experts who had compiled the book, her eyes widened in astonishment.
She seemed to have been struck by lightning when she took a closer look at its content.
She looked up at once.
“Woah, where did you get this book from, Gu Mang? Academician Yu is the editor-in-chief for this book and the rest of the contributors are big shots from our school’s medical department.”

Gu Mang simply said, “Someone gave it to me.”

Just then, the door lock clicked and Shen Qianzi entered the room.
Tang Xiaoxiao turned to look at her.
“Qianzi, how did the medicine and surgery exam go for you?”

“I didn’t perform very well because the questions were really tough,” answered Shen Qianzi as she put down her bag and picked up a cup.
“It was so hard that I might not even get a passing grade.”

“What about Gu Mang?” Shen Qianzi turned her gaze to Gu Mang and asked, “How did you do on the exam?”

Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao turned to look at Gu Mang as well.

“Not bad,” Gu Mang said softly, which made Shen Qianzi’s lips twitch.

“That’s good.
I heard that the professor has high expectations of you,” she said.

Gu Mang did not say anything and took out her laptop from her backpack and placed it on her desk.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao had also heard the rumors but they dared not ask her about them.
Zheng Miao changed the topic of the conversation.
“Gu Mang, I’ll take turns to read this book with Xiaoxiao and Qianzi then.”

“As you wish.” Gu Mang’s reply was short and sweet as always.
She then took a change of clothes from the wardrobe and went to take a bath.

Shen Qianzi walked over to Tang Xiaoxiao’s side to take a look at the book she was holding.
“What’s that?”

Tang Xiaoxiao passed the thick, white book to her.
“It’s a medical casebook compiled by Academician Yu and other professors.
It’s really comprehensive.”

Shen Qianzi passed her cup to Zheng Miao before flipping to the table of content page and quickly scanned through it.
The contents were all about evidence-based treatments and surgical cases.
Not only were the records detailed, they were easily understandable as well.
She suddenly realized that she was reading the book she had seen on Gu Mang’s shelf last night.
It had been the only book on chinese medicine.
While flipping through the book, she looked up upon noticing something.
“The book looks really new.
Has Gu Mang never read it before?”

Zheng Miao shook her head.
“I don’t know, but we better handle it carefully and not damage it.”

As Shen Qianzi looked at Gu Mang’s bookshelf, she thought, Has she read any of these books? Is she trying to look smart by displaying so many books on the bookshelf? Did she really do okay on the exams?

Gu Mang exited the bathroom while drying her hair with a towel.
When Tang Xiaoxiao noticed her in her peripheral vision, she removed an earbud from her ear and tilted her head.
“Gu Mang, your phone rang just now.”

Gu Mang politely replied, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” answered Tang Xiaoxiao with a smile before going back to watching her drama.

When Gu Mang realized that she had a missed video call from her fiancé, she put on her earpiece and tapped the ‘Call back’ button.
She then headed out to the balcony with a cup of water.

It did not take long for Lu Chengzhou to pick up the call.
His well-defined face appeared on screen and he was currently in his office at Red Scorpion.
When he noticed that her head was wrapped with a towel, he asked, “Did you just finish showering?”

“Mm.” Gu Mang leaned against the railing.
“Are you free now?”

The man raised his eyebrows slightly in amusement and teased, “Do you want me to go pick you up again? You don’t have any classes tomorrow?”

After a few seconds of silence, she expressionlessly said, “I encountered some problems while testing the AI surgery system last night.
I’ll send you the file in a bit.
Help me take a look at it.”

“Sure.” He stared at her beautiful face and asked, “What benefit do I get for helping you?”

Her lips curled up at that and she drawled, “Why are you asking me for benefits when you’re already mine?”

“That’s true.” Mirth flashed in his eyes.
“But I still want my benefits.
I’ll put it on the tab first.”

She clicked her tongue in response.
“You’re not behaving like a decent person now.”

He could not help but crack up when he heard her retort.
“Why do I feel that you’re expecting me to request a certain thing?” As he spoke, he lifted a cup.

She laughed along.
“Believe it or not, since I can treat you, I can also most definitely make you impotent again.”

Cough! Lu Chengzhou choked on the water he was drinking, which made a wicked smile spread across her face.

With much difficulty, he cleared his throat and asked earnestly, “What did you have for dinner?”
