CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: GREAT KINDNESS NEEDS NO THANKS

Probably didn’t expect Gu Zheng to be so direct, Gu Ningyue was briefly stunned, then looked at this man who had hardly been responsible for her and said, "I missed home, so I came back to take a look. Dad, you wouldn’t want me not to come back, would you?"

Having stayed at home for so many days, Gu Zheng, who likely got used to the happy family of four, was unaccustomed to her sudden appearance!

Otherwise, why suddenly call her over for a talk?

Gu Zheng smiled, appearing very sincere, "How could that be! You’re my daughter, where else can you go if you don’t return home? After all, you and President Ling are still not yet married..."

Gu Ningyue’s gaze was like water, but her words were sharp as a blade: "Yes! After all, I don’t have the good fortune of Wanwan, being lovey-dovey, able to get a marriage certificate right now. As for Tianyou and me, it’s still early!"

"Ning Yue!" Gu Zheng knew she was mocking Gu Wanwan for having an affair first, then getting pregnant before marriage to enter a wealthy family.

Though it’s despicable, she’s still the daughter he’s loved for years, and hearing such words from Gu Ningyue makes him unwilling at heart, "Wanwan is your sister. Tianyou is far better than Mingchen, let the past be the past, why hold onto it?"

Gu Ningyue’s fingers paused, as she lifted her head, her gaze was extremely cold: "Yes! I should thank Wanwan. If it weren’t for her seducing her brother-in-law, I wouldn’t have met such a first-class man like Tianyou!"

This man, what’s wrong with him? He could accept the disgraceful things Wanwan did to the Gu Family, yet towards the main character, he has this attitude?

Isn’t she the victim here? And he advises the victim to be tolerant?

Gu Zheng seemed frozen by her gaze, feeling uneasy inside, "Ning Yue, I know you’re aggrieved, but since it has developed this way, don’t mess with yourself."

Gu Ningyue: "...Alright, I get it."

She wasn’t troubling herself; she’s just not letting Gu Wanwan and Ye Mingchen off the hook!

And Li Yulan and Gu Heng, she wouldn’t let any of them go.

Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then continued looking at her and asked, "Having been at home for so many days, President Ling must be anxious, right? When are you going back?"

After talking so much, he finally got to the point; Gu Ningyue sneered and said, "I’ll return when mom’s room is renovated. Rest assured, I’ve already informed Tianyou, he understands. If he misses me, he’ll come see me!"

She was clear enough with her words; she wanted to see what else Gu Zheng could say.

"It seems President Ling treats you well." Gu Zheng said leisurely, "But in a few days, your Aunt Li will be back. I know you’ve suffered grievances over the years, wouldn’t it be better to go back first, and come back to oversee the renovation of your mom’s room later? This way, President Ling won’t have to run back and forth, saving a lot of trouble."

At that birthday party, Gu Ningyue’s exposed scars were shocking.

Even now, they linger in the mind.

It’s better not to mention it, but once mentioned, Gu Ningyue got even angrier.

Thinking carefully, did Gu Zheng truly not know about the injuries the main character suffered before?

He probably could see a hint of it but chose not to inquire!

"No need, now that the plaster on my hand is gone, I can go anywhere easily. He doesn’t need to come over, I can return just the same." Gu Ningyue stood up, looked at Gu Zheng, and said, "Let’s leave it at that. I’m a bit tired today, Dad, I’m going back to sleep! Good night."

After speaking, Gu Ningyue didn’t give Gu Zheng a chance to speak further and turned around to leave the room.

Behind her, Gu Zheng’s voice came with a hint of anger, "Ning Yue..."

Gu Ningyue turned a blind eye, closed the door behind her.

Just for Li Yulan’s good mood, wanting to make her return home, quite a husband indeed!

Gu Ningyue took a deep breath and collapsed onto her soft bed.

"Ding dong——"

"Ding dong——"

"Ding dong——"

The phone kept buzzing with message notifications, Gu Ningyue picked it up. So late, is it Ling Tianyou?

Unlocking the phone, Chi Xingtong’s name jumped into view.

"Chen Rui is back in the country!!!"

"Ning Yue, you should move back to the villa!"

"Be careful not to let that little b**ch take advantage!"

Chen Rui? The number one beauty in A City?

Gu Ningyue suddenly realized, no wonder when she saw Ling Tianyou answer the phone, she felt like she forgot something.

So, the reason lies here!

After sending a voice invitation, Chi Xingtong picked it up shortly, "Oh my, I’m applying a face mask! You called at quite the right time!"

Gu Ningyue changed to a comfortable position, leaning against the bed head, saying: "Is Chen Rui that formidable? No need to make such a big fuss, right?"

"Not necessary?" Chi Xingtong dared not speak too loudly, her voice sounded a bit peculiar: "Lu Qingqing, what do you think of her?"

Gu Ningyue thought for a while, "A tough opponent."

Not only is she exceptionally beautiful, her family background is distinguished, and she has a commanding presence.

Even in her past life, Lu Qingqing standing beside her wouldn’t necessarily be lesser.

Chi Xingtong said: "Without the family background, what Lu Qingqing can do is limited. Chen Rui is different, even if she has nothing, if she wants someone dead, she definitely has ways!"

"That impressive?" Gu Ningyue touched her chin and muttered softly: "Then I’d like to meet her."

Even more formidable than Lu Qingqing? Interesting.

Chi Xingtong heard the latter half of her words and quickly advised, "Just save it! Don’t think having Ling Tianyou means you can do whatever you want! My family and Chen Family and Ling Family have been friends for generations, they’ve cooperated for at least decades starting several generations ago. Do you think he would turn against the Chen Family for you?"

"That’s hard to say. As long as it infringes on interests, anything is possible." Gu Ningyue smiled slightly, "Is Chen Rui leaving after returning to the country?"

Chi Xingtong said: "My dad said the Chen Family has arranged a position for Chen Rui at the company, the Chief Designer. In the future, Ling Tianyou will inevitably deal with her!"

"I thought she’d be doing nothing like you but eating, drinking, and having fun, never expected she’s a designer?" Gu Ningyue teased, "...Now you found the reason why you can’t have Ling Tianyou!"

"You!" Chi Xingtong was so angry that even the mask wrinkled a few lines: "I kindly reminded you, and yet you mocked me! Enough, enough! I’m breaking up with you right now!"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, seemingly able to imagine Chi Xingtong’s angry look, "No, I’m sorry. Big favor without thanks, tomorrow I’ll treat you to a meal, your choice of place!"

Chi Xingtong smoothed her mask, "That’s more like it; by the way, there’s something I need to tell you..."
