CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: HOUSE ARREST

If it were the former Gu Ningyue, no matter how much she resisted people and things, she wouldn’t refuse so decisively.

Lu Qingqing looked at her eyes through the screen, seemingly trying to find traces of what Gu Heng had mentioned.

But after watching for a long time, Lu Qingqing didn’t find what she was looking for.

It seems Gu Ningyue has truly changed.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t force you." After a while, Lu Qingqing smiled, "However, there’s one thing you might be interested in."

Gu Ningyue asked, "What is it?"

The only thing that interests her now is that piece of Blood Jade Lin Ruixian reached for.

Lu Qingqing said, "I returned to City A with your brother for Gu Wanwan’s engagement banquet. Gu Heng put in a lot of effort."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "That’s normal, after all, she’s his real elder sister."

Does this have anything to do with her? She doesn’t care at all.

"Then what if I tell you Gu Heng plans to make a move against you?" Lu Qingqing’s lips curved slightly as she spoke leisurely while arranging flowers, "I heard you got injured and shut his mother out at the hospital. He’s planning to teach you a lesson."

Gu Ningyue glanced at the bandage on her arm and a cold light flashed through her eyes, "Is he really thinking of teaching me a lesson?"

Apparently, the last time she hit him wasn’t hard enough, so he healed his scars and forgot the pain.

Lu Qingqing raised her eyes to look at her and suddenly thought of something, "Since you know martial arts, why didn’t you fight back against those who bullied you before?"

Earlier, when Gu Heng spoke to her, Lu Qingqing definitely didn’t take it seriously.

She always thought it was because Gu Heng was indulging himself in wine, wealth, and excess, causing his health to deteriorate.

The most important thing is who knows if Gu Heng was exaggerating the facts with his characteristic nonsense, in order to make her despise Gu Ningyue more.

Gu Ningyue didn’t know why Lu Qingqing asked this suddenly. After a moment of silence, she answered, "Probably still holding a sliver of hope for those people! After all, I was still the lady of the Gu Family at that time, wasn’t I?"

For family, for face, swallowing one’s anger is understandable.

Lu Qingqing nodded and then looked at the fresh flowers in her hand with water droplets, "In the next few days, Gu Heng plans to find an opportunity to act against you. I heard he’s also preparing cameras, so be careful!"

Gu Ningyue thanked her, and Lu Qingqing returned the phone to Ji Qianqian.

After chatting a few more words with Ji Qianqian, the two ended the video call.

Unexpectedly, while she was planning against Li Yulan, she was also being calculated by others.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but shake her head. She didn’t expect the world to be so interesting!

But it’s a pity that Gu Heng wants to plot against her, it’s simply like an egg hitting a rock.

Even if her arm is injured, dealing with those people is still no problem.

After eating, Gu Ningyue went upstairs, changed out of her pajamas, greeted the butler, and headed outside.

The butler chased after her a few steps, "Young Madam, this morning President Ling said if you want to go out, you need to wait until he gets off work."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "What’s this for?"

She didn’t seem to be so weak that she needs a caretaker to go out, does she?

The butler shook his head, "Young Madam, this is President Ling’s idea, please don’t make it hard for me."

Seeing the butler’s pitiful expression, Gu Ningyue restrained herself for a while and dialed Ling Tianyou’s number.

A few minutes later, Gu Ningyue slammed the door in anger.

She felt guilty before for hiding secrets from Ling Tianyou, today she regretted it.

It’s practically soft confinement, not allowing her to step a foot out of this villa. How can she find Lin Ruixian then?

Gu Ningyue’s heart was filled with rage, the anger was deepening, rushing to the top of her head, even her fingers were trembling slightly.

No, wrong, Gu Ningyue suddenly shook her head.

Was she ever this easily enraged before? No, definitely not.

Even worse things she had experienced in her previous life, she had long become very composed.

Is the curse acting up again? Gu Ningyue took a deep breath, picked up the Diamond Sutra she got from Mr. Chen at Lingyue Temple, and sat on the bed to recite silently.

Honestly, this sutra Mr. Chen gave really does have some effect.

After reciting it once, her heart indeed calmed down a lot.

But after calming down, Gu Ningyue became a bit worried.

If she can’t leave the villa, and can only go out when Ling Tianyou returns every day, when will it ever end?

Maybe before she even meets Lin Ruixian, she will be sent to a mental hospital first.

No, she needs to think of a way.

Gu Ningyue put down the Diamond Sutra in her hand, came to the window.

On the second floor, she can jump down from here without a scratch.

But there are many servants in the villa, it’s hard to guarantee she won’t be caught while jumping out.

The most important thing is not being in the room is quickly noticeable.

Once this happens, Ling Tianyou will surely find out she escaped.

What’s to be done? Gu Ningyue leaned on the balcony worriedly.

While fretting, a message suddenly popped up in the group chat with Chi Xingtong, "——I added Ji Zhiye on WeChat."

Gu Ningyue’s eyes lit up, right! If Ling Tianyou doesn’t let her go out alone, she can have some friends accompany her, then find a chance to slip away, right?

Moreover, with someone around, it wouldn’t seem particularly intentional to approach Lin Ruixian!

"How’s it going? Did you chat?" Shen Hanyin replied with a message.

Chi Xingtong: "Chatted a bit, but Ji Zhiye is really cold! He says nothing except about his condition."

Chi Xingtong: "But he does seem gentle when treating patients."

Watching Chi Xingtong and Shen Hanyin chat back and forth, Gu Ningyue occasionally chimed in. Once they finished the topic, she wrote, "Who has time today? How about coming over to hang out at my place? I’m a bit bored alone."

Some things, even with Shen Hanyin, she couldn’t say aloud.

To this, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt, it was also a form of sadness.

Chi Xingtong: "I’m only free tomorrow; I have plans for lunch with a handsome guy who’s half European!"

Shen Hanyin: "I can’t today either, got rehearsal soon."

Gu Ningyue: "...How about tomorrow?"

Shen Hanyin: "I can tomorrow afternoon."

Chi Xingtong: "I’m free in the morning."

Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, okay, this way she doesn’t have to come back all day.

After agreeing on the time with them, Gu Ningyue looked out the window for a while, turned, and sat down at her computer desk, powering it on.

She wondered if Ling Yin had reappeared in the Gate of Hell.

Since she was bored anyway, checking it out wouldn’t hurt.

At least the lunatics in there wouldn’t let her spare energy to think about other things.
