The sun was setting in the west, and Gu Ningyue leaned against the balcony, watching the scenery in the sky, enjoying the breeze on her face, feeling the rare tranquility.
Bai Chengfan has been arrested. After waiting for so ti for the court sentencing, whether it’s the death penalty or life imprisonnt, there is no need to worry about him appearing in the underworld again.
The incident of Shen Hanyin’s injury has co to an end. Now, what needs to be worried about is the whereabouts of the Heimu Organization and the Blood Jade.
I don’t know if Lin Ruixian can accomplish the task this ti. If he can retrieve the Blood Jade, that would be ideal.
If he cannot, then hopefully Lin Ruixian can return safely without getting injured.
After having eaten, Gu Ningyue drove to the airport to see Lin Ruixian off.
Before leaving, she gave countless reminders, appearing as though she was sending him to heaven rather than to Y City.
Lin Ruixian was sowhat amused, "Alright, alright, it’s not like I’m not coming back. I’ll retreat at the first sign of trouble, don’t worry!"
Gu Ningyue looked at him irritably, "Go early and return early, I’ll keep a close eye on him."
Lin Ruixian nodded, "Yes, Bai Chengfan has been in society for so many years, he shouldn’t misjudge. I’m boarding now, you go back safely."
Gu Ningyue responded, watching Lin Ruixian leave with his suitcase in her sight, then turned and left.
Just as she sat in the car, a notification sound suddenly ca from her phone.
"Sister-in-law, can you co to the house? I’m so upset."
Gu Ningyue paused in her action of turning the key and dialed the phone: "Liu Liu, what’s wrong?"
Upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s concerned voice, Liu Liu’s suppressed sadness seed to beco uncontrollable, with so sobs: "I went to see Tianze. He keeps begging to find soone to help him get out. I... Xuanxuan has been crying, I don’t know what to do! I don’t have any friends here, sister-in-law, can you co back to keep company?"
She and Ling Tianze had been living abroad with the elders, and after returning to A City, this incident occurred before she could make new friends, which was a fatal blow to a woman who had always been carefully cared for.
Thinking back to when she first arrived at the Ling Family, Liu Liu’s defenselessly friendly deanor towards her, Gu Ningyue thought for a mont and agreed.
After all, she had been treated gently before.
Driving all the way to the Ling Family villa, just as the car was parked, the butler had already co out to welco her: "Miss Gu, please co inside."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Is Tianyou ho?"
The butler said while walking, "The eldest young master has not returned."
Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, that’s good.
Heading straight to Liu Liu’s room, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Liu’s eyes red from crying: "How about Xuanxuan? Asleep?"
Liu Liu beckoned her to sit on the chair, saying hoarsely: "No, I sent him to my parents. Right now, I have no energy to take care of him."
Rather than letting him stay beside her and suffer, it’s better to have him leave her side for a while.
Gu Ningyue sighed, "Does Uncle Ling know about this?"
If they knew the son always by their side had done such a thing, it’s unimaginable how heartbroken they would be.
Liu Liu shook her head, "Not yet, my brother said he will tell them. As long as I don’t soften my heart and let Tianze out of custody, it’s fine."
But even just this, she found it incredibly hard to accomplish.
Ever since returning from the detention center, all she thought about was Ling Tianze’s haggard appearance.
"Sister-in-law, Tianze won’t suffer inside, will he? Will he..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Ningyue interrupted her: "Don’t think too much. As long as he listens, the path ahead will be easier. You must not soften your heart now; softening your heart harms him. If you’re worried, visit him often, it’ll get better over ti."
Liu Liu nodded, and she looked like she had lost all her forr radiance.
Gu Ningyue comforted her for a long ti, and Liu Liu finally managed to pull out a forced smile.
Though the smile was more unsightly than crying, it was better than nothing.
"When will Uncle Ling return?" Seeing her improvent, Gu Ningyue changed the subject.
Liu Liu thought for a mont: "Originally, it would’ve been another month, but yesterday, my brother’s call said there was an urgent matter at ho, they should return in these two days. Let ask!"
Speaking, Liu Liu took out her phone and made a call to the elders.
Listening nearby, Gu Ningyue heard them would return in three days?
At the end of the call, Gu Ningyue suddenly heard Mrs. Ling say: "How have Tianyou and Ning Yue been lately? Did he ntion when they plan to get engaged?"
Liu Liu glanced at Gu Ningyue, remained silent for a mont, and said: "Pretty good, but my brother hasn’t said, though... it should be soon!"
Gu Ningyue thought, engagent? A man who celebrates birthdays for others and doesn’t even answer her calls, how could he possibly get engaged to her?
If there truly is an engagent, it should be Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui, ha!
She stayed at the Ling Family until eight o’clock, and the butler had set the table, Liu Liu invited Gu Ningyue to dinner.
"If you don’t co, it’s just left here." Liu Liu’s eyes were red, and she looked extrely haggard. "Tianze isn’t here, and my brother cannot conveniently return often."
Just a few days, and her complexion had lost its previous glow.
Gu Ningyue suggested: "Hey, if this doesn’t work, go stay with your parents for two days! It’s okay to leave this place empty for a day or two."
Liu Liu shook her head, "No, if my parents see like this, they’ll probably worry. Let’s leave it..."
Gu Ningyue sighed, "Once Uncle Ling returns, it will get better. Tianze is not inherently bad, it will surely get better."
These words were, of course, ant to comfort Liu Liu; otherwise, just in this way, a person would break down.
Among the people she had seen, either they kept cycling through life, or they died, very few truly succeeded completely.
She wasn’t familiar with Ling Tianze and didn’t know whether he could succeed.
But seeing Liu Liu’s current state, she still wanted to speak optimistically.
After all, one cannot live without hope.
After finishing their al and sitting for a while, Gu Ningyue glanced at the ti: "Liu Liu, I have to go, I have things to handle tomorrow."
Liu Liu looked at her with a hint of yearning in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you stay with tonight?"
Seeing her tearful eyes, Gu Ningyue felt sowhat swayed, thought for a mont but shook her head: "I’ll co see you tomorrow, but tonight I won’t be staying here."
Liu Liu was visibly disappointed, but she didn’t continue: "Then take care on your way, let know when you get ho."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright."
Seeing Gu Ningyue to the door, before the butler could open it, sounds of a car stopping were heard in the courtyard.
Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, then she heard a servant co in saying: "Mrs. Ling, Miss Gu, the eldest young master is back!"
