The old man slowly sat up straight, placing the newspaper and his glasses on the table: "Ah, young lady, you lack patience!"
Gu Ningyue approached the hospital bed but did not sit in front of it; instead, she went past the bed and leaned by the window.
The long hair behind Gu Ningyue was lifted by the muggy wind, but her voice remained icy: "After all, I only have one life. If I could keep my composure even now, I probably wouldn’t need to marry; I should beco a nun!"
The old man was amused by her, the wrinkles on his face piling up, appearing strangely mysterious: "Don’t worry, I’ve only told Lin Ruixian, no one else knows."
Gu Ningyue didn’t care much about his words; she cared about another issue: "Who exactly are you?"
The old man didn’t speak, only silently watching her. After a long while, he finally said leisurely, "Who I am isn’t important; what’s important is that your great tribulation is approaching."
Gu Ningyue asked, "My great tribulation?"
The old man smiled faintly: "Young lady, don’t forget, whenever it’s midnight, I can see soone’s past and future."
Gu Ningyue turned to look at the blazing sun outside: "But it’s not midnight yet, and I don’t plan to stay here overnight."
This old man himself was strange, apart from telling her this matter, the information he inadvertently shared during this ti, now all connected, seed to be reminding her.
The old man seed to expect this answer and didn’t mind: "Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to harm you. I told that young man those things just to give you a hand. Otherwise, do you expect him to sell his grandfather’s relic to you?"
Gu Ningyue sneered, though his words sounded as if he wanted to help her, her original plans were completely disrupted, and her identity was exposed.
Even though Lin Ruixian wouldn’t hurt her for now, who knows what would happen in the future?
Most importantly, to Lin Ruixian, she was in a completely overwhelming state!
For such an existence, exposing her identity was like turning her weakness into a sharp blade delivered to soone else’s hands.
Then, it might even get inserted into her soday.
Gu Ningyue looked at the old man and said, "So, should I thank you?"
The old man shook his head, saying indifferently: "No need, as long as you get what you desire in the future, consider it a good deed done by an old man."
"Grandpa Li, you still haven’t answered my question." Gu Ningyue asked slowly, "And from the beginning, have you been targeting ?"
Gu Ningyue was tired of circling around, recently it seed all these important people were playing mysterious gas with her, she was really exhausted.
"Young lady, you must take responsibility for your words." The old man’s gaze was tranquil: "But you were the one who ca to at that ti."
Gu Ningyue recalled the previous scenes and felt sowhat defeated for a mont.
But for so reason, there was a voice in her heart telling her that all of this had actually been arranged long ago.
Even the talisman on her neck had another purpose.
"The old man can promise not to harm you." The old man looked at Gu Ningyue quietly: "If you need the old man’s help in the future, you can co to ."
"However, as for the question you ntioned, now is not the ti to answer you. Even if you ask , I won’t tell you anything."
His voice was light but very firm.
Gu Ningyue did not have Lin Ruixian’s abilities, and looking at the old man now, she suddenly regretted not learning so hypnotism from her master back then.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be powerless in front of the old man!
Leaving the hospital in disappointnt, Gu Ningyue touched the pendant on her neck and sighed softly.
Forget it, since the Blood Jade has already been given to Mr. Chen, and she was decursed without any discomfort, this matter could temporarily be left as it is, it’s better to go ho first!
After all, there were still a bunch of things waiting for her at ho.
Interestingly, after Mr. Chen helped her remove the curse, her body seed much lighter.
She wasn’t as groggy as before, nor as easily drowsy as she used to be.
Just as she drove back to the Gu Family, Gu Ningyue received a call from Ling Tianyou.
This call was so sudden that Gu Ningyue was startled: "Hello?"
Ling Tianyou’s voice ca through the screen: "Xing Tong just called, let’s have dinner together tonight! She’s leaving in three days."
Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "So soon?"
Previously, seeing Chi Xingtong, she thought Xing Tong was going to stay a bit longer in City A!
Could it be because Chen Rui ca back that she’s in such a hurry to leave?
Ling Tianyou replied: "Yes, Xing Tong has already bought the ticket, should I co to pick you up tonight?"
Gu Ningyue thought for a mont, "Okay. By the way, any news from Xiao Xuan?"
Ling Tianyou said: "Yes, it’s been checked, there’s so issue with the respiratory tract, but nothing serious, after a few days in the hospital, it should be fine to leave."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "That’s good."
Ling Tianyou paused, "Your voice sounds more energetic."
Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised: "Really? Haven’t I always been this way?"
Ling Tianyou responded, "Before, your voice was always lazy and lacked spirit, today it’s much better."
Gu Ningyue smiled and casually found an excuse: "Maybe it’s because I’m back ho, so my mood has improved!"
Ling Tianyou was slightly taken aback, did this an she wasn’t happy being with him?
"Recently, still feeling sleepy?" After a long pause, Ling Tianyou asked.
Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No."
Ling Tianyou said: "That’s good, when will you co ho?"
Again with this question, Gu Ningyue was silent.
She thought of the promise with Lin Ruixian and didn’t know how to answer.
After a while, Gu Ningyue said: "Wasn’t it agreed, that I’d co back after my mother’s room is renovated? Why asking suddenly?"
Ling Tianyou: "Nothing, just asking."
Gu Ningyue: "..." This serious tone, just asking?
Gu Ningyue: "I’m ho, I’ll hang up now, see you tonight!"
Ling Tianyou: "Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue parked the car and stepped into the villa.
Gu Wanwan wasn’t there, Gu Zheng wasn’t there either, only the housekeeper and a few servants were in the entire villa.
Probably because Gu Heng was sent to the third prison today, so this pair of father and daughter went to see him!
Good, with only herself at ho, she enjoyed so peace.
Otherwise, seeing their faces, even knowing they weren’t a threat, it still affected her mood.
Ah, I really don’t know how the original owner lived her days before, just thinking about it is heartbreaking.
