Sotis, certain things, even if she is willing to promise, she may not be able to accomplish.
Watching the lights whizzing past by the roadside, Gu Ningyue reached out her hand, as if trying to catch the passing winds, or perhaps to let them go.
As soon as Chen Rui appeared, she wanted to drag herself into the whirlpool of public opinion again. If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she’d be laughed at again by now.
However... this opening wasn’t bad. She was a bit looking forward to the upcoming confrontation.
"When are you going ho? Have you decided?" Ling Tianyou suddenly asked.
Gu Ningyue turned her head, looking at Ling Tianyou with so surprise.
At this ti, shouldn’t Ling Tianyou hope that she doesn’t go back?
After all, if she returns to the villa, all of his actions would be right under her nose.
Why did he suddenly ask her this question?
"Well..." Gu Ningyue thought for a mont, "Let’s wait a bit! My mom’s house just started renovating, I want to wait until it’s done before going back."
Ling Tianyou nodded thoughtfully, "Then wait until the renovation is done, and co back!"
"Oh!" Gu Ningyue responded, "By the way, is Xiao Xuan okay?"
It was already late, Ling Xuan should have finished the check-up by now.
Ling Tianyou said, "I haven’t called them yet, I assu there’s no issue, otherwise they would have called already."
All the way, Ling Tianyou looked quite tired after sending Gu Ningyue back to the Gu Family, and left after saying a few words.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed Gu Ningyue, that if she really wanted to go out for dinner with Chen Rui, she should tell him in advance.
Although Gu Ningyue felt it was unnecessary to worry about Ling Tianyou, she agreed to let him nag a bit less.
In the evening, Chi Xingtong sent a ssage asking if Chen Rui had attended the birthday party of the Lin Family’s eldest grandson today.
Gu Ningyue told Chi Xingtong about seeing Chen Rui tonight and ntioned that the three of them planned to have dinner together.
Chi Xingtong imdiately called with a voice ssage, and as soon as Gu Ningyue clicked to answer, she heard a scream from the other side: "Ahhh—Ning Yue, how can you agree to dine with her! I don’t want to, I protest!"
Gu Ningyue didn’t expect such a big reaction from Chi Xingtong and was a bit puzzled: "Didn’t you grow up together? It’s just a al, no need to be so excited?"
"She’s simply a..." Chi Xingtong paused for a long ti, probably unable to find the words, and gave up in frustration: "Anyway, I don’t want to eat with her, just tell her I’ve left!"
Gu Ningyue had seen Chen Rui today and could roughly sense Chi Xingtong’s apprehension towards her: "I’m beginning to be a bit curious, if you’re so afraid to be in the sa space as her, how have you been competing with her all these years?"
Chi Xingtong wasn’t cunning, compared to Chen Rui, she wasn’t really a match.
Chi Xingtong suddenly sounded proud, "Who would like a manipulative bitch! Brother Tianyou wouldn’t fall for her tricks!"
Gu Ningyue: "..." Not fall for her tricks? That’s not what she saw.
It seems Chi Xingtong was still naive.
After chatting with Chi Xingtong for a while, Gu Ningyue sent a voice ssage to Shen Hanyin, "Nothing happened tonight, right?"
Shen Hanyin replied, "No! After I got ho, I told my dad what happened today, and he secretly arranged for soone to protect , so there shouldn’t be any major issues."
Gu Ningyue nodded through the screen, "That’s good."
After hanging up, Gu Ningyue lay on her bed, recalling the day’s events.
Piece by piece, thing by thing, she didn’t know why, clearly, there’s no connection, but putting them together made her feel that every event was related.
The peace buckle on her neck no longer heated up, and her mind was sowhat clearer due to reading the Diamond Sutra.
"Ding—"
A ssage ca from the director, Gu Ningyue glanced at the date on her phone, the day of the just trial was finally coming!
The next morning, Gu Ningyue was woken up by the sound of renovation.
After washing and having breakfast, she changed clothes and went to oversee the work at her mother’s house.
At this pace, her mother’s house should be refurbished in four or five days.
Once her mother’s house is finished, probably Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen’s good days will begin too...
A while later, Gu Wanwan was probably also woken up by the noise, wearing pajamas, she went out for a while, then slamd the door and went back inside.
Gu Ningyue pretended not to hear it, continuing to watch the craftsn work.
At noon, Gu Zheng returned ho, fortunately, Gu Ningyue hadn’t gone out, and the three of them had a rare lunch together.
"I went to the hospital this morning." Gu Zheng said while holding the rice bowl: "The doctor said that your mom can be discharged the day after tomorrow."
This was naturally said to Gu Wanwan.
"Oh. Got it!" Gu Wanwan responded indifferently, as if Gu Zheng was speaking about a stranger.
Gu Zheng was a bit surprised; normally, Gu Wanwan was the clingiest with her mom. She was the most upset when Li Yulan was hospitalized, so why was her reaction so cold now?
Gu Ningyue sat quietly eating, unable to help curling up her mouth slightly.
It seed that before the main show, there could be so preliminary drama.
Nice, very nice.
"Dad, I’ll be going back in a few days." Gu Ningyue said leisurely, chewing on the tofu in her mouth: "Tianyou is a bit unhappy that I’ve stayed here for so long!"
Gu Wanwan glanced at Gu Ningyue, the face of soone far handsor than Ye Mingchen appeared in her mind, and she gripped her chopsticks a bit tighter.
This woman was born into a better family, and even the man she’s with now is a thousand tis better than Ye Mingchen.
Why does everything good belong to her? Even if she wants sothing, she has to fight with all her might for it?
Thinking of this, Gu Wanwan suddenly felt as though the food in front of her lost its taste.
"Hmm, it’s okay, co back to stay after a while!" Gu Zheng, hearing Gu Ningyue was leaving, felt a sense of relief and spoke more pleasantly than before: "It’s your ho, so it doesn’t matter when you co back. Next ti, rember to bring Tianyou to stay for a few days, we have everything you’ll need."
Gu Ningyue nodded, her face carried a distant smile: "Hmm, I got it!"
After the al, Gu Zheng got up and went to the study.
At the table, only Gu Wanwan and Gu Ningyue were left. Gu Ningyue looked at Gu Wanwan’s face and said: "Haven’t you asked Dad yet? Why not ask? Don’t tell you’re scared."
Gu Wanwan gripped the chopsticks, "Why should I ask? You don’t think that with just your words, I’d go to Dad to get scolded, right!"
Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, pushed back her chair, and stood up: "Alright! Then wait for your mom to co back and let her tell you!"
Gu Wanwan paused: "What do you an?"
