CHAPTER 19: CHAPTER 19: AS YOU WISH

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Perhaps it was because Ling Tianyou was by her side that the police station treated her with extraordinary courtesy.

After all, standing beside Gu Ningyue was Master Ling, who could shake City A with a mere stomp of his foot.

Even the director had to come out personally to meet them, let alone the others.

Taking statements, collecting evidence, fingerprinting—everything went through smoothly without any obstacles.

But for some unknown reason, just when they were about to investigate, Ling Tianyou stopped the person and took them aside for a whispered conversation before returning to Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue asked him what he said, but Ling Tianyou just patted her head, "I’ll tell you in a few days, don’t rush about this matter."

Though Gu Ningyue had no idea what was going on, a voice inside her heart assured her that Ling Tianyou wouldn’t harm her.

It was a rather peculiar feeling.

"I just called Lawyer Chen, he is quite skilled in handling such cases. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him!"

Gu Ningyue nodded and thanked him again, "Thank you."

Ling Tianyou, while driving, said casually, "You don’t have to be so polite with me."

It made him feel... distant, which he didn’t like.

Gu Ningyue suddenly felt embarrassed, "Sorry, it’s a habit."

Even though Ling Tianyou treated her well, she always felt a sense of distance from him.

She didn’t know where this feeling of distance came from.

"Are you really willing to send Ye Mingchen to jail?" Ling Tianyou asked half-probing, half-seriously, "He seemed to treat you well before, didn’t he?"

"It was all fake tenderness!" Gu Ningyue replied firmly, "There’s nothing to feel reluctant about; it’s what he deserves."

If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If they do, I will eradicate them.

Besides, Ye Mingchen got off really cheaply.

According to her previous fiery temperament, Ye Mingchen’s life would have probably been half gone by now.

Where would the law even have a chance to punish him?

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled slightly, "Good."

It seemed his little wife was not a forgiving saint.

He liked it.

After returning to the villa, an assistant came and said there was an important document that needed Ling Tianyou’s signature.

There was no other option, so Ling Tianyou had to return to the company.

Shortly after his departure, the phone rang suddenly.

Seeing the word ’Dad’ on the screen, for some reason, Gu Ningyue felt disgusted.

She silenced the phone and tossed it on the bed, then opened the computer to continue browsing forum pages.

Since she got what she wanted, her post was no longer needed.

Delete, close the page, and the forum exploded:

"Why did the master delete the post?"

"System error, mistakenly deleted?"

"Impossible, X website has had less than three bugs over the years."

"Did the master just retire after returning?"

"Not likely! Perhaps the master will show up again in a few days?"

Gu Ningyue closed the website, shut down the computer, and lay on the bed, picking up her phone again, "Han Yin, are you free this afternoon?"

"After that last outing, my dad hasn’t let me go out again." Shen Hanyin’s voice sounded helpless, "Why don’t you come over to my house? My mom was asking about you a few days ago."

Gu Ningyue thought for a while and ultimately declined, "Then let’s forget about it for now. I’ll come see you and Auntie once I finish the matters at hand."

Shen Hanyin did not press, they talked on the phone for half an hour before hanging up.

Just after the call ended, Gu Zheng’s call came in.

Gu Ningyue frowned, but couldn’t resist answering, "Hello?"

"Ning Yue! Have you eaten yet?" Li Yulan’s voice carried a smiling tone, so insincere it couldn’t be more so, "How’s your health lately?"

Gu Ningyue looked at the screen, confirmed it was Gu Zheng’s number, and replied coldly, "May I know what’s the matter?"

Li Yulan wasn’t fazed and continued smilingly, "Your dad’s words were just spoken in anger. Come home! You’re not married yet, staying at President Ling’s place all the time isn’t good for your reputation."

These words made it sound as if it was just an argument between Gu Zheng and his daughter, and had nothing to do with them.

"Since I was already kicked out of the Gu Family, can I still return?" Gu Ningyue sneered, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now!"

Li Yulan suddenly calling with Gu Zheng’s number couldn’t possibly mean that Gu Zheng had calmed down and wanted her to return.

For so many years, she lived in the Gu Family worse than a shadow. Gu Zheng had already pocketed a billion from Ling Tianyou; would he care if she returned home?

In his mind, Gu Ningyue, his daughter, had long been priced and sold to Ling Tianyou!

"Wait!" Li Yulan immediately said, "Your dad wants you to meet with the Ye Family people. Wanwan is not in a good state now, and hopes that you’ll put in a good word for her. Your dad can’t bring himself to ask, so he asked me to make this call on his behalf."

Li Yulan spoke earnestly, but Gu Ningyue’s slender fingers nearly crushed the tempered wood, "So you’re saying I should take the blame for everything and help Gu Wanwan be with Ye Mingchen, right?"

Such shameless words, Li Yulan could utter them openly, truly broadening her horizons.

How could there be such people in this world!

Despite doing so many heartless things, they could still speak so lightly!

"Ning Yue, I know you’re upset about Wanwan and Mingchen, but your dad hasn’t slept well for days over this. He’s not well. You’ve tolerated all these years, just pity him this one last time!" Li Yulan spoke earnestly, taking the pose of a virtuous wife and mother, seemingly forgetting that many scars on Gu Ningyue’s back were from her abuse, "After this matter is settled, I’ll have Wanwan kneel in front of you to apologize, okay? Ning Yue, just help Wanwan this once!"

Gu Ningyue’s chest heaved, she forcibly told herself not to be angry, not to be angry, and barely suppressed it, "Fine, I’ll help you! No need for kneeling, after all, who allowed us—we are family."

Just now, she suddenly realized why Ling Tianyou wanted to delay the investigation and prosecution.

After hanging up, Li Yulan sent a message via WeChat asking when Gu Ningyue could visit the Ye Family.

Gu Ningyue directly used Ling Tianyou as an excuse, saying she couldn’t leave recently and needed to discuss with Ling Tianyou, so let the timing be up to notice!

Li Yulan still thought she would blindly obey like before!

Now, fate has turned!

If they wanted Gu Wanwan to become Mrs. Ye, fine, as you wish!

By then, even if she didn’t speak, Gu Wanwan would have to kneel down and cry for help!
