CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 114: THE ONLY BARGAINING CHIP

Gu Ningyue didn’t want to discuss this matter too much with Chi Xingtong; the more she said, the more she exposed.

To her, Chi Xingtong still couldn’t become a friend.

The friend she could trust and rely on had always been Shen Hanyin alone.

But right now, Shen Hanyin was busy with her own affairs, and she couldn’t talk about her own troubles.

Though, for such a long time, she almost didn’t know what friendship was.

But the memories left in this body kept reminding her of Shen Hanyin’s importance.

Compared to Shen Hanyin, Ling Tianyou seemed less reliable.

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue suddenly shook her head.

Why would she think like this? Even if Ling Tianyou’s actions today were a bit excessive.

But the fault in this matter was hers; Ling Tianyou... never mind, take it one step at a time!

Sometimes, it seems you really can’t distinguish right from wrong.

Arriving at the mall, Chi Xingtong locked the car and suddenly looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "I heard your stepmother almost drowned in the swimming pool. Tomorrow is Gu Wanwan’s engagement party; if she had died yesterday, the happy event would have turned into a mourning one!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yeah! Even if Li Yulan survived, Gu Wanwan would have cried herself to death countless times."

Chi Xingtong was a bit curious and asked, "By the way, did you know Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen were involved before?"

After being under your nose for so long, even a fool could spot something fishy!

Most importantly, Gu Ningyue obviously wasn’t a fool.

She’s so smart; did she really not notice anything?

"A bit thin." Gu Ningyue touched the clothes next to her. "I discovered it, but love probably blinds both the eyes and the heart."

The original owner loved Ye Mingchen passionately at that time, but to her, Ye Mingchen was just a stranger.

Chi Xingtong was puzzled, "Then when did you start liking Tianyou?"

If you could love to the point of tolerating being cheated on, why suddenly give up?

Gu Ningyue turned around, looked at Chi Xingtong’s beautiful face, and asked, "Have you ever died?"

Chi Xingtong was taken aback, then immediately shook her head, "Why ask such an ominous question? Who’s died?"

Gu Ningyue laughed, "I’ve died; they all wanted me dead. At that time, I lost hope in these people."

"They..." Chi Xingtong didn’t complete her sentence and stopped after that.

Having lived abroad for a long time, she was surrounded by a joyful atmosphere.

Being pretty, no matter what kind of handsome guy, they adored her.

Chi Xingtong dared not imagine the pain Gu Ningyue experienced domestically, leading her to become the person she was today.

But even without thinking much, she knew it must have been a very dark path.

"Alright, are you here to help me relax, or add to my troubles?" Gu Ningyue looked at her contemplation and

picked up a dress and compared it on herself, "Does it look good?"

Chi Xingtong nodded, "Yeah, it suits you very well."

Gu Ningyue said, "I’ll go try it on; can you come in and help me?"

Chi Xingtong responded, knowing Gu Ningyue was inconvenient now, so she smiled and said, "Who helps you change clothes at home?"

Gu Ningyue said, "At home, I always wear pajamas; I can change myself. Didn’t you notice I’m wearing clothes that are easy to take off today?"

Chi Xingtong replied indifferently, "I thought it was Ling Tianyou helping you change!"

Gu Ningyue was startled, "You’re overthinking. I’m still quite clean with Ling Tianyou."

Chi Xingtong was a bit surprised, "Really? You two are living together... I thought you’d already done that!"

"You’re overthinking it!" Gu Ningyue took off her clothes to change into the dress, "By the way, is Ling Tianyou still a virgin?"

Chi Xingtong said casually, "Probably! I don’t go back to China much, so I don’t know the situation there. Besides, how could Ling Tianyou tell me this kind of thing?"

"I see!" Gu Ningyue changed her clothes with Chi Xingtong’s help, and while pulling her hair from the dress she said to Chi Xingtong, "I thought I’d be losing out!"

Chi Xingtong’s eyes widened instantly, "No way! You too???????"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "What’s wrong, can’t I?"

Chi Xingtong was dumbfounded, "Tell me honestly, isn’t Ye Mingchen capable? You’re so pretty, and yet he..."

"Maybe he prefers Gu Wanwan’s kind more!" Gu Ningyue laughed indifferently.

Chi Xingtong shook her head in disappointment, "Ye Mingchen’s taste is really off! When I have time, I’ll get him an ophthalmologist appointment to check if there’s something wrong with his vision."

How could Ye Mingchen not like someone as stunning as Gu Ningyue and prefer someone like Gu Wanwan?

This person must have some issues!

"Don’t worry about his vision; help me first!" Gu Ningyue stepped out of the fitting room, stood before the mirror, "How’s it look?"

Chi Xingtong looked her over for a long time, "Without the bandage on your hand, it should look better."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Then this one! Swipe the card and pack up my previous clothes."

Chi Xingtong looked at her and said, "By the way, what made you come out shopping today?"

Gu Ningyue answered truthfully, "Didn’t I say? It’s too boring being alone at home."

Chi Xingtong responded indifferently, "You look great in a blue dress, too bad Ling Tianyou isn’t here."

Chi Xingtong was genuinely complimenting; Gu Ningyue just glanced at herself in the mirror, then took her card and the clothes she came with from the sales attendant.

The blue dress she was now wearing held a special meaning for her.

Wonder if Lin Ruixian would remember anything about her when seeing this dress.

It might be her only bargaining chip; as long as Lin Ruixian retained any old feelings for her, the matter of Blood Jade wouldn’t be too difficult.

After all, she had once taken a knife for her.

No matter how shameless Lin Ruixian was, she couldn’t be heartless, could she?

With these thoughts, Gu Ningyue looked at Chi Xingtong, "Do you have anything you want to buy? If not, shall we watch a movie?"

Shen Hanyin would come to her around three in the afternoon; she needed a way to pass the time.

Chi Xingtong said, "I’ve watched so many movies lately that I almost feel sick, so let’s shop! I need to look at clothes too."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Okay."

"By the way." Chi Xingtong said while walking, "I have something to do in the afternoon, need to go to my dad’s company! After lunch, I’ll have to leave, can’t stay with you!"

That was perfect for Gu Ningyue, "Okay, you take care of your business. Shen Hanyin will come to see me in the afternoon!"

Chi Xingtong responded casually, without further conversation.
