Hearing Gu Ningyue answer so readily, Ye Mingchen didn’t seem surprised.
He chuckled lightly, the question he asked carried no trace of guilt.
"Welco, welco. Is President Ling attending with you? Ning Yue, don’t let down!"
Gu Ningyue’s stomach churned. What kind of scum addresses her so familiarly?
"Rest assured, Mr. Ye, Tianyou and I have always had a great relationship, you needn’t worry about us."
Ever since Chen Rui returned to the country, rumors have been rampant throughout City A, but Ye Mingchen specially calling to add insult to injury was really nauseating.
Gu Ningyue genuinely couldn’t understand, aside from Ye Mingchen’s sowhat decent looks, what was there to be admired?
Utterly devoted to being trampled upon, there’s really no need for that.
"Is that so? Then see you tomorrow night!" Ye Mingchen suddenly said sothing out of the blue.
Gu Ningyue frowned, "Who agreed to et you at night?"
Ye Mingchen definitely has so sort of issue!
"Tomorrow night, Ling Tianyou is hosting a birthday party for Chen Rui at the Minghua Hotel. Not only did he invite , but also the Shen Family and the Lin Family. Didn’t President Ling tell you about this?"
Gu Ningyue was stunned; Ling Tianyou’s hesitance over the phone that day suddenly flashed across her mind.
At the ti, she thought Ling Tianyou wanted to ask her out to dinner and it was just an illusion. On reflection, he must have been hesitating whether to tell her or not, and only changed his words after hesitating for quite a while!
Her heart was wrenched, this pain ca without warning, making her knit her brows tightly.
"I have plans tomorrow night." Gu Ningyue’s voice was already clear, "Also, next ti when you’re cheating, rember to be discreet, otherwise my sister won’t be as forgiving as I am and might render your shalessness useless."
"Of course, you two are basically the sa kind of people, you should understand each other, right? I have things to do, goodbye!"
After saying this, Gu Ningyue directly hung up the phone, and by the way, added Ye Mingchen’s number to the blacklist.
This man has probably been living in luxury for too long, really thinking all the won in the world are at his disposal.
What a joke, is he even worthy? Ling Tianyou probably doesn’t even have this kind of blind confidence in this matter.
As she got up to change the dressing, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but marvel at the healing speed of the wound, then ordered so takeout, and leisurely ate while watching a movie for once.
If tomorrow’s plan went smoothly, then she would be able to find Bai Chengfan.
As long as she finds Bai Chengfan, the truth about who instigated him to do this would be revealed.
After all, with soone like Bai Chengfan, how could he possibly bear a grudge against a rich family’s daughter?
Behind this, there was naturally soone offering benefits to him.
Remaining at ho until dark, Gu Ningyue went to the hospital to visit Shen Hanyin, and received a voice ssage from Chi Xingtong on her way back.
With so many things happening recently, Shen Hanyin’s news hadn’t had a chance to be passed on to Chi Xingtong.
It was just the right ti to relay it, Chi Xingtong couldn’t help but sigh, "How co it feels like a different world as soon as I leave?"
Gu Ningyue smiled, "Then why don’t you co back!"
Chi Xingtong said, "I’ll co back when you marry Ling Tianyou. Otherwise, tough luck!"
This ti, it was Gu Ningyue’s turn to sigh, "Then you may never co back for the rest of your life!"
Chi Xingtong couldn’t stand to see her so passive and indifferent, and imdiately retorted, "Think of the clothes I sent you and how expensive international shipping is, do you know?"
"A few hundred bucks? I can transfer it to you now. Hahaha..." Gu Ningyue laughed it off and asked Chi Xingtong, "What about you? Have you been in touch with Su Heng after going back?"
Upon hearing Gu Ningyue ntion Su Heng, Chi Xingtong’s previously high spirits seed to fall instantly, "No. Apart from when I just got off the plane and he asked if I arrived, after I replied, we haven’t spoken since."
Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "Do you still like him?"
"I don’t know." Chi Xingtong’s voice ca wistfully, "All I know is, every ti I see him on TV, my heart flutters. Isn’t that hilarious?"
"If you like him, just contact him! Don’t hold your feelings in." Gu Ningyue advised, "Think about it from another angle, you might never end up together, but liking him for as long as possible is enough. As long as he doesn’t dislike you, that’s a kind of success."
Just as she finished, Chi Xingtong imdiately demanded, "You know that! Then what’s going on with you and Ling Tianyou?"
"..." Gu Ningyue said, "I was talking about you! Why bring into this? Keep it up and I’ll hang up!"
Chi Xingtong resignedly said, "Alright, alright, I won’t say more. Little girl, your temper really isn’t small!"
Gu Ningyue said, "... You shouldn’t forget you’re older than !"
"...Just don’t let it bother you, there’s nothing to be self-conscious about," Chi Xingtong said.
Gu Ningyue replied, "I’m not self-conscious! What’s there to be self-conscious about?
After chatting with Chi Xingtong for half an hour, Gu Ningyue ended the call to go wash up.
Lying in bed, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but recall Ye Mingchen’s words.
Tomorrow, Ling Tianyou would be hosting a birthday party for Chen Rui at the Minghua Hotel.
Why hadn’t she heard any news about it?
Was she too focused on the matter at hand, or did she overlook all the clues?
Oh right, in the hospital, Shen Hanyin’s parents had repeatedly told her not to look into why Shen Hanyin was injured.
The worry in their eyes was even more obvious than before they even had Ling Tianyou.
And Lin Ruixian, had he already heard about it too? Why didn’t he ntion a word to her?
Perhaps her emotions were surging at night, Gu Ningyue picked up the phone and sent Lin Ruixian a ssage: "Didn’t your parents ask you to attend the banquet at Minghua Hotel tomorrow night?"
After a while, a notification ping ca from her phone.
"Even if I wanted to go, there’s no ti. It starts at eight, and will be over by eleven or twelve. Besides, I don’t even want to go."
Gu Ningyue knew that, like her, Lin Ruixian disliked large gatherings, but being the only one left uninford still bothered her.
"Ding-dong—"
"Did Ling Tianyou tell you? That he wants you to attend Chen Rui’s birthday party?"
Gu Ningyue: "No, soone else told ."
After she sent that ssage, her phone was silent for quite so ti.
She figured that Lin Ruixian probably didn’t know what to say.
"Ding-dong—"
"Don’t worry, get so rest, there’s a big battle waiting for you tomorrow!"
Indeed.
"Okay. Good night."
Placing her phone beside her pillow, Gu Ningyue found herself unable to fall asleep.
Why hadn’t Ling Tianyou told her? What was he afraid of? Was he worried about her getting hurt, or didn’t want her to appear and spoil it for soone?
If it was the latter, she wouldn’t mind if he said it outright, so she wouldn’t obstruct his path in the future!
