Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing; she seed indifferent to everything else other than matters concerning Ji Qianqian.
More than that, neither events nor people could sway her emotions.
Perhaps, in her heart, Ji Qianqian might have beco akin to her own sister!
Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue suddenly recalled what her master had told her, that the Lu Family had invited her master to give lectures and that Lu Qingqing was going to leave the country.
If Lu Qingqing left, what about Ji Qianqian?
With Ji Qianqian’s current condition, could she adapt to life abroad?
"I heard you’re planning to go abroad?"
Gu Ningyue asked, and Ji Qianqian’s gaze followed onto Lu Qingqing’s face.
Lu Qingqing seed surprised at Gu Ningyue’s question, paused for two seconds and then replied leisurely, "No, Qianqian’s illness isn’t cured yet. We’ll discuss it once she’s better!"
Gu Ningyue scrutinized Lu Qingqing’s expression; her eyes were evasive, clearly not speaking the truth.
Could it be that she really intends to abandon Ji Qianqian and just head to a foreign country?
However, with Ji Qianqian beside her at the mont, she didn’t want to make Ji Qianqian sad, so she rely nodded and then chatted with Lu Qingqing about so recent trivial matters.
As they talked, the items they ordered were gradually served.
Gu Ningyue took a sip of the coffee by her hand, contemplating how to broach the topic surrounding Lin Ruixian.
Apart from Ji Qianqian’s current situation, Lu Qingqing’s mood appeared rather good, showing interest in Gu Ningyue’s relationship with Ling Tianyou: "How are things with Ling Tianyou?"
Gu Ningyue smiled faintly: "Sa as before, neither good nor bad."
Lu Qingqing nodded slightly, "That’s good. By the way, I haven’t thanked you in person for the last ti!"
Gu Ningyue was sowhat puzzled: "The last ti? What thing?"
"It’s the Jiuyue Flower!" Lu Qingqing looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had the face to have such a precious flower delivered to my place by Ling Tianyou’s senior."
Gu Ningyue suddenly realized, feeling quite ashad; if it weren’t for her connection with Lin Ruixian, perhaps Ji Qianqian would have been cured long ago.
She gave the Jiuyue Flower to Lu Qingqing rely as a gesture—like presenting a prayer.
Yet, she couldn’t say this between herself and Lu Qingqing.
"I didn’t help you much." Gu Ningyue stirred the coffee in front of her slowly, glancing at her without betraying any emotion, and said, "You seem to be in a good mood? Is there sothing pleasant happening?"
Lu Qingqing lowered her head, chuckling lightly: "I wouldn’t call it a joy, but there’s sothing that has indeed made happy."
Gu Ningyue’s heart felt like it was suddenly grasped tightly; although her face remained calm, her heart was already turbulent.
"What’s the matter?" She looked at Lu Qingqing and asked, "Can you tell ?"
Lu Qingqing didn’t answer but lowered her voice and asked Gu Ningyue instead: "Are you close with the young master of the Lin Family?"
Gu Ningyue felt a twitch in her heart. As expected, here it cos!
"Quite okay." Gu Ningyue’s voice sounded hoarse, unsure of how to respond to the question.
After all, in Y City, she acted together with Lin Ruixian.
Seeing Gu Ningyue like this, Lu Qingqing understood partly: "Don’t worry, I have no intention of implicating you. Moreover... I investigated, and it was Lin Ruixian who snatched the Blood Jade; it has nothing to do with you."
"You... did you do sothing to Lin Ruixian?" Gu Ningyue tried hard to control herself so her voice wouldn’t tremble.
Lu Qingqing lowered her head, looking at the coffee cup, her voice sounding plain: "Actually nothing much, just letting Lin Ruixian stay a few extra days in the hospital."
"After all... if he wants to oppose , he should prepare to best not see the sun again!"
Gu Ningyue didn’t speak; these days, Lin Ruixian hadn’t replied to her, it seed sothing indeed happened.
Now, in U Country, how is Lin Ruixian doing alone? Would he end up with a disability?
Damn, if she knew it would be like this, she shouldn’t have advised him to fling his phone away!
Gu Ningyue was deeply regretful inside, not noticing Lu Qingqing lifting her head to scrutinize her intently.
"Are you worried about Lin Ruixian?"
Lu Qingqing’s voice ca from above, and Gu Ningyue suddenly snapped back to clarity, "No, it’s just that he’s been absent for a while without any news; it seems odd."
Lu Qingqing chuckled lightly, looking at Gu Ningyue, "He thinks hiding would an no trouble, but in the end, didn’t I still find him? Hehe..."
Gu Ningyue took another sip of coffee, trying hard to keep her voice and expression very calm: "No wonder you seem to be in a good mood; turns out the grudge has been avenged."
Lu Qingqing didn’t deny it, rely looking at Gu Ningyue and said, "Speaking of which, why were you with Lin Ruixian in Y City?"
This doubt has been in her mind for quite so ti.
Gu Ningyue smiled, she had been prepared for this question from Lu Qingqing long ago.
After a simple explanation, Lu Qingqing’s gaze held an added layer of puzzlent: "When did you et Lin Ruixian? Does Ling Tianyou know about your relation?"
Gu Ningyue said softly, "Yes, Ling Tianyou knows we only t by chance. He helped once, and in Y City, I rely wanted to return the favor. But I didn’t expect, the world has too many surprises..."
Lin Ruixian was already hurt, and if at this ti she had any impulsive conflict with Lu Qingqing, it would be truly foolish.
Right now, the priority should be to make Lu Qingqing believe what she says, and only then can her plans proceed step by step.
Ji Qianqian, with a mouthful of cake covered in cream, caught Lu Qingqing’s peripheral vision as she reached for a napkin to clean her mouth: "Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. After all... you are Ling Tianyou’s woman."
Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing and said, "Just because of that?"
Lu Qingqing smiled, "Of course not, you’re good to Qianqian, and based on that, whether the Y City incident had anything to do with you or not, I can pretend it didn’t."
Gu Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, "I have so leads regarding Qianqian’s illness."
Lu Qingqing’s hand paused, her gaze turning stern: "What are you talking about?"
Gu Ningyue looked at Lu Qingqing’s face: "I found Shangguan Wuyue. Today I called you here to discuss this matter."
Lu Qingqing gripped the coffee cup, visible white knuckles under her force: "What terms did he set?"
She had had several encounters with Shangguan Wuyue already, and she was aware of his tendencies.
Even though Gu Ningyue was Ling Tianyou’s woman, Shangguan Wuyue wouldn’t do her any favors.
Gu Ningyue glanced around, then typed a line on her phone and showed it to Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing’s eyes lit up, "Just this?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes. Just this!"
