Perhaps seeing his fiancée being ’bullied’, Ye Mingchen looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Take your ti, President Ling, let’s catch up later."
Ling Tianyou nodded lightly, watching Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan leave, then looked at Gu Ningyue with so confusion and asked, "Since you already know the truth, why not just expose it?"
According to Gu Ningyue’s vengeful personality, this was unlike her usual behavior.
Gu Ningyue took a sip of the drink beside her, "With so many people around, and no evidence, saying it out loud would just make people think I’m here to cause trouble. Besides, it would be too embarrassing for you."
Coming with Ling Tianyou to attend the engagent banquet, this would surely invite criticism for Ling Tianyou as well.
It was clear that there was no regard for him, yet still thinking about Ye Mingchen.
By then, Ling Tianyou would inevitably be gossiped about as a fool behind his back.
"So, you’re considering my position?" Ling Tianyou suddenly asked.
Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "In a way! More accurately, for ’us’."
After all, they’re currently on the sa boat.
Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, lost in his own thoughts.
After who knows how long, Gu Ningyue saw a familiar figure glancing around the crowd.
Chi Xingtong, wearing a long dress with her hair down, only had a touch of lipstick on.
She seed to have arrived in a hurry, not even bothering with makeup.
"Hi, Ning Yue."
Chi Xingtong, upon seeing her, imdiately rushed over with excitent.
Ling Tianyou’s expression darkened a bit, as Chi Xingtong used to greet him with a similar expression.
In just a few days, the target changed to Gu Ningyue? Did Gu Ningyue cast a spell on Chi Xingtong?
"Just arrived?" Gu Ningyue casually pulled out a chair, "Why are you sweating so much?"
Even though it was hot outside, Chi Xingtong drove over, she shouldn’t be sweating like this.
Chi Xingtong glanced at Ling Tianyou, then beckoned Gu Ningyue closer.
Gu Ningyue leaned in, asking quietly, "What’s up? Why so mysterious?"
Chi Xingtong covered her mouth with her hand, lowering her voice, "I had plans with a friend today, but my dad asked to co with my mom to attend Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen’s engagent banquet this morning. I’m running out of ti and have to leave soon. I ran into sothing on my way and my mom arrived first. Could you cover for later?"
Gu Ningyue teased, "You’re not going on a date with Ji Zhiye, are you?"
Chi Xingtong rolled her eyes, "Of course not him, just tell if you’ll help or not!"
"First, tell who it is." Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou, who was watching them closely, "Ling Tianyou and I have been a bit tense lately, if you don’t tell , I won’t dare help you. I promised not to hide things from him, and after you leave, he’ll definitely ask ! Don’t get in trouble!"
Chi Xingtong also glanced at Ling Tianyou, noting the slight furrow of his brow and inquisitive look in his eyes.
He didn’t seem too happy.
After thinking for a mont, Chi Xingtong bit her lip and said, "Su Heng! Su Heng asked out for dinner, but the ti changed last minute."
She hadn’t expected such coincidence, finding herself unable to manage.
Gu Ningyue was surprised that Su Heng actually asked Chi Xingtong out, feeling a bit astonished.
"Will you help or not?" Chi Xingtong tugged on Gu Ningyue’s arm, "I really need you! Please!"
Gu Ningyue pondered for a while, "Alright, but there are no guarantees it’ll work."
Seeing a face similar to Chi Xingtong’s, about seventy percent alike, approaching from a distance, Gu Ningyue remarked lightly.
"Tianyou, Miss Gu."
Mrs. Chi elegantly extended her hand, and Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou stood to shake hands: "Hello, Mrs. Chi."
"Mom!" Chi Xingtong stood and pulled out a chair, "Why are you here? I was just chatting with Tianyou and them."
Mrs. Chi, though nearly fifty, was well maintained and looked in her forties.
Chi Xingtong inherited all of Mrs. Chi’s virtues, though their styles differed greatly, making them an amusing pair.
"It’s been a while since I saw Tianyou, so I ca over for a look." Mrs. Chi smiled gracefully, "Tianyou is lucky, Miss Gu is truly beautiful."
Ling Tianyou smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Chi. I was planning on visiting you and Uncle Chi, but Ning Yue was hospitalized, and I haven’t had the ti."
Mrs. Chi looked at Gu Ningyue’s bandaged arm, "I understand, all this because Xingtong isn’t easy for people to handle. Once you’re better, bring Ning Yue over, and I’ll cook a al myself."
Though it was their first eting, Gu Ningyue inexplicably felt a sense of kindness, as if this was how a mother should be in her mory.
Ling Tianyou smiled and said, "Alright."
After finishing with Ling Tianyou, Mrs. Chi turned her attention to Chi Xingtong, "I’m telling you, no running around today, after the banquet, you’re coming ho with !"
Chi Xingtong took a while before responding to her mother, "Mom, it’s not like I’m off committing cris, why so strict?"
Mrs. Chi replied, "It’s rare you’re ho, yet you just want to run around. Why is the young man your father introduced to you not good enough? At least et him, if not for him, then for your father?"
Chi Xingtong pouted, "Why talk about face with your own dad? I really have plans today, Ning Yue and I are going out for dinner, right, Ning Yue?"
"Ah!" Gu Ningyue was suddenly called upon, and almost didn’t register in ti, "Yes, we want to go out to eat."
Mrs. Chi heard this and said, "It’s not that clean eating outside nowadays, Auntie can cook what Ning Yue wants at ho, it’s cleaner at ho!"
"Mom!" Chi Xingtong protested, "Ning Yue wants Japanese food, right! It’s really hard to make, you don’t know how!"
Mrs. Chi nodded and asked, "Is Tianyou coming too?"
"Whoosh!" Gu Ningyue and Chi Xingtong’s gazes imdiately fell on Ling Tianyou, as if all their hopes rested on him.
Ling Tianyou was silent for a mont under their intense gazes, then slowly said, "No, I’m not going."
Mrs. Chi smiled slightly, "Is that so! Then it would be inconvenient for Ning Yue, let’s wait until Ning Yue’s injury heals before going!"
Chi Xingtong retorted, "Why? I went out with Ning Yue just yesterday, there was no inconvenience, right?"
Gu Ningyue didn’t speak, she simply nodded lightly.
Mrs. Chi said, "You, child, don’t even notice people’s expressions, Ning Yue feels awkward refusing you, and you just push it? No, after the banquet, you’re going ho with , nowhere else!"
Chi Xingtong persisted, "Mom! Just this once, please?"
"No way! Your dad’s waiting at ho! You have to go back today!"
Mrs. Chi’s gaze was firm, and Gu Ningyue could only spread her hands, indicating she was powerless.
