CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: GOAL ACHIEVED

Driving to the barbecue restaurant chosen by Chi Xingtong, Gu Ningyue glanced at the time: "When we’re done eating, Han Yin should be here."

Chi Xingtong nodded slightly, "You’ve known Shen Hanyin for many years, right?"

"Yes!" Gu Ningyue said casually, "We’ve known each other since elementary school."

Chi Xingtong was a bit envious, "That’s nice, from childhood until now, Ling Tianyou has been my only friend."

After ordering the food, during the waiting period, Gu Ningyue suddenly asked, "You know my condition, aren’t you afraid I’ll suddenly have an attack?"

She had been calculating in her mind how to escape Ling Tianyou’s watchful eyes, so she forgot to ask this question.

Chi Xingtong awkwardly coughed, "Actually, I’m a bit afraid, they say mad people have a lot of strength."

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, this is right! This is how a normal person should react.

"It’s fine, when I have an episode, I still have some awareness," Gu Ningyue smiled and said, "Otherwise, my dad would have sent me to a mental hospital long ago."

Chi Xingtong thought for a moment, it seemed to make sense.

"But, have you really thought it through? Are you planning to move out?"

Gu Ningyue naturally wouldn’t admit it, saying only, "No, it just suddenly occurred to me when I stepped out with you."

This is also the truth; if this continues, Ling Tianyou might start noticing some clues.

It’s better to take a risk.

Chi Xingtong didn’t say anything, quietly sipping the juice in her glass.

Once all the dishes were served, while grilling the beef, Chi Xingtong looked at her amidst the sizzling aroma and said, "Tianyou probably won’t let you go unless you return to the Gu Family. After all, with your condition, even someone without feelings wouldn’t let you fend for yourself outside."

Gu Ningyue’s heart stirred, yes! How could she not have thought of that?

Blaming herself for not being the original owner, having no feelings for the Gu Family, not including them in her plans.

"Returning home..." Gu Ningyue seemed a bit hesitant, "It’s not impossible."

Chi Xingtong was seriously considering for her, "Look, your sister is getting engaged tomorrow, and might move out with Ye Mingchen soon. You just need to temporarily endure during this time. Besides, those people can’t really do anything to you, right?"

Considering Gu Ningyue’s temper of daring to argue with Ling Tianyou, Chi Xingtong felt the Gu Family members weren’t much to fear.

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Hmm! I’ll talk to Ling Tianyou when I go back tonight. And I also want to go back and see my mum."

But without Ling Tianyou as a backing, suddenly returning to her family home, she felt they wouldn’t have any scruples against her.

Those people have always been the kind to worship power, even if it’s their own daughter or a blood-related sibling, they wouldn’t spare them.

Thinking about it, Gu Ningyue deeply felt it was unfair to the original owner.

Clearly, home is the warmest place, yet for the original owner, it seemed to have become a battlefield.

As the two continued eating, Gu Ningyue suddenly sighed, "Didn’t expect it to become like this, won’t he even let me go home?"

Chi Xingtong checked her phone a few times, hearing Gu Ningyue’s words, she felt a bit helpless, "He won’t, Tianyou isn’t that unreasonable."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Hopefully!"

Maybe it was her rare pitiful expression that made Chi Xingtong impulsively say, "If it doesn’t work, I’ll help persuade him."

Gu Ningyue nodded again, "Thank you in advance then!"

For Ling Tianyou, Chi Xingtong, his long-time friend, should have a significant position in his heart.

If Chi Xingtong spoke up for her in this matter, it would likely make Ling Tianyou very angry.

In this way, it would be hard for Ling Tianyou not to argue with her.

Because it would be obvious that she orchestrated this.

She didn’t expect to hide her intentions, just wanted to achieve her goal.

Once she returns to the Gu Family, finds a reason to argue, and then moves out, she’d be the most free.

Not to mention, the Gu family might not want her back either!

As long as she escapes Ling Tianyou’s control, everything would be fine.

Though it feels a bit unfair to him, it concerns her life, so she can only do this.

Calculating the days, her plaster should be removed after this week.

By then, living alone wouldn’t be a problem.

After finishing the meal, Chi Xingtong paid the bill and left first.

Before leaving, she specifically reminded Gu Ningyue to call her if anything happened.

It’s not hard to see, she really believed in her ’illness’.

In the barbecue restaurant, she sent a message to Shen Hanyin, and seeing there was about half the food left, Gu Ningyue continued eating.

Ordered so much, it would be wasteful not to eat!

Eating for a while alone, Gu Ningyue glanced at the time and suddenly noticed a friend request pop up on WeChat.

She slid open the screen and tapped the profile picture, discovering it was Lu Qingqing?

Out of nowhere, why would Lu Qingqing add her as a friend?

After accepting the request, Gu Ningyue didn’t bother with it and let it sit.

Lu Qingqing previously said Gu Heng wanted to plot against her, but now it seemed since Li Yulan suddenly entered the ICU, they probably didn’t have time to deal with her!

Moreover, today going out with Chi Xingtong, would Gu Heng really dare to make a move?

After some unknown time, a notification sound came from WeChat: "Ding Dong—"

Lu Qingqing: "Alone at the barbecue restaurant?"

Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised, "How do you know, Miss Lu?"

Lu Qingqing: "Just drove by and saw you."

Gu Ningyue looked out the window, this is so far from the road, can she really see?

"Is President Ling busy lately? Why would Miss Gu be out eating alone?"

Gu Ningyue: "I made plans with a friend today. She left first, and I’m waiting for someone."

Lu Qingqing: "I see! Then I won’t disturb Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue: "If you have anything, just say it directly! No need to beat around the bush."

Lu Qingqing: "Haha, Miss Gu is straightforward. It’s nothing much. Just a friendly tip, don’t take the small path when going home tonight."

Gu Ningyue was somewhat surprised, "Gu Heng isn’t in the ICU looking after his mom, still has the mood to plot against me?"

Lu Qingqing: "It’s not Gu Heng! I have to go. Goodbye, Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue stared at her phone, puzzled, could it be the person Mr. Chen mentioned to her in the hospital last time?

Or the person Ling Tianyou mentioned before?

Gu Ningyue suddenly felt her head spin, what kind of matter is this!

She seemed to have never had so many enemies in her previous life, why was this life so difficult?
