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.
