Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system-Chapter 516: Ancient One?
Yang Qingyue drove away the Landcruiser of 1-3 and 1-4. Her presence was no longer needed to solve the misunderstanding. She was followed by 1-1 and 1-2, under Ling Qingyu’s eyes.
As for the men, Mama Yang requested them to investigate the city on their own. Protection was unnecessary since her assistant Su and Spirit Fox were nearby.
Although Mama Yang and Assistant Su didn’t notice any operators’ figures, since Ling Qingyu promised that they were here, they were definitely here.
Of course, the government would reimburse their stay. Mama Yang was an official so the covert visit might be taken care of later.
Ling Qingyu was about to ask these men to rest in the Imperial Resort, a luxury hotel of her possession. A branch was also opened in City N.
While she offered to waive the fees, she shut up when Mama Yang swiftly kicked away her subordinates in disgust.
Perhaps, Spirit Fox’s operators’ nonchalant beating caused Mama Yang to judge her bodyguard’s capability incorrectly.
Soon, a black reflective Bentley arrived. Ling Qingyu walked toward the car and opened the driver’s door. Mama Yang and Assistant Su were more confused when they saw her enter. Where was the driver?
The answer was found soon, when they stepped inside. Assistant Su took the shotgun and Mama Yang consciously sat on the back like a boss.
Ling Qingyu was speechless as she felt like a personal driver to the minister. Should she brag in front of her close sister?
"What the…? Where’s the driver?" Assistant Su asked straightforwardly.
"Don’t you already have an answer?" Ling Qingyu shrugged pretentiously.
Assistant Su widened her eyes and snapped her head at Mama Yang, who looked thoughtful at Ling Qingyu’s reply. Both understood that Ling Qingyu possessed technology related to autonomous driving, far surpassing the world.
The top nations were struggling in their research for a successful autonomous car without requiring human intervention. The researchers were still testing the data and feedback.
However, to Ling Qingyu’s confidence, her technology had already matured. As for why the two never thought the technology belonged to Bentley, they weren’t stupid.
Somehow, both wondered if Ling Qingyu was showing her card. Their consideration wasn’t wrong; Ling Qingyu did it on purpose.
She smiled as she took note of their reactions from the corner of her eyes. In fact, she was ready to talk with Mama Yang but she never expected the day to come so soon.
Nonetheless, it didn’t matter since Ling Qingyu was confident in attracting this ’investor’ with her current asset. The only worry was whether Mama Yang would agree to her ’son-in-law status’.
"Madam, how should I address you?" Ling Qingyu tested the depth. She didn’t want to show that she was too flattery. That wasn’t her character in the first place.
Besides, even if the mother disagreed, she had already eaten the daughter, why should she care too much about the elder’s acceptance?
If Yang Qingyue heard her fickleness, she would immediately drive back to twist Ling Qingyu’s waist a hundred times.
"You’re right. Calling me, Madam, sounded too distant." Mama Yang stared at Ling Qingyu’s eyes in the reflection of the rearview mirror. "My name is Gu Yi. Many call me Minister Gu. Since you and I are already close, just call me Aunt Gu."
"Aunt Gu." Ling Qingyu called immediately, ignoring Assistant Su’s shock, as if fearing the opportunity would go away. "You can call me, Yu’er or Little Yu."
"Little Yu, then." Gu Yi’s eyelids twitched. Yu’er was too close. This girl knew how to take advantage.
At the same time, Ling Qingyu repeatedly muttered inwardly the name because of weird familiarity and had her lips twitched uncontrollably when the answer was revealed. If translated directly, Gu Yi meant Ancient One. Literally!
Well, although the Yi might not be the number one—Yi character, the pronunciation wasn’t much different. Thinking of the powerful Ancient One, a supreme mage in the Marvel universe, Ling Qingyu controlled her expression from collapsing.

Perhaps, those who were named Gu Yi, might have the destiny to rise to a great height. Sticking to her mother-in-law might return her investment tenfold. She tried to seek the answer from Miss System.
"Little Yu, I think you should have noticed that my assistant and I noticed your relationship with my daughter."
Ling Qingyu pursed her lips and pressed the brake lightly at the intersection. Here came the main theme. The only surprising factor was how on earth Assistant Su was aware.
Meanwhile, Assistant Su was in doubt. Who am I? What am I doing? She really had no idea at all. Please, madam minister, you should inform me what you plan and not hit me with surprise. Naturally, Assistant Su had learned from experience to remain stoic and calm.
Ling Qingyu didn’t reply immediately as she prodded her finger over the steering wheel. Her heart raced with worries if her answer would dissatisfy her future mother-in-law.
"I can’t promise anything but I can assure you, my feelings for her are genuine. I don’t want her to be in distress and trouble. I don’t want her to be uncomfortable. I will always help her in a way, she will never feel the discomfort of exploiting me or owing me. I will fight her enemies without backing down. I think you have investigated me enough to prove my statement."
Assistant Su bit her lips from exclaiming. What did she hear? Minister Gu’s daughter was in a relationship with another woman. Same-sex love? What a scandal! If the minister’s opponents used this as a breakthrough, the consequences were unbearable.
Since she knew the news, wouldn’t she be silenced?
Oh, thinking of the future where she would have to sign an overlord’s contract with tears and have to sell herself for life, Assistant Su had tears in her eyes.
Ling Qingyu and Gu Yi didn’t know someone’s heart was nearly out of the throat. Both were immersed in their own thoughts.
The latter wasn’t satisfied with Ling Qingyu’s words but she could sense the sincerity from Ling Qingyu. Even though Ling Qingyu didn’t promise, Gu Yi nodded inwardly at the former’s gesture.
After all, compared to those men who promised everything and showered with so many gifts, and later turned their heads without hesitations after achieving the goal, Ling Qingyu’s honest words were better.
False promises without results would never achieve anything. Ling Qingyu never promised solemnly but she confessed her inner mindset and opinion of Yang Qingyue. That was sufficient.
Plus, through Ling Qingyu’s actions, Yang Qingyue received so many benefits without any price, apart from the initial contact between the two where Ling Qingyu sought for her own interest. The rest later seemed more like the pampering acts.
"Okay, as long as you don’t have any intention of harming my daughter, I won’t object." Gu Yi sighed heavily and acted like she lost an important treasure.
Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes at her mother-in-law’s pretense but still had to express gratitude. "Thank you for trusting me. I’ll never disappoint Aunt Gu. I admit when I met Yue’er, my goal isn’t pure but her silliness and firm heart grasp my heart."

"Silliness?" Gu Yi muttered and nodded at Ling Qingyu’s description of her daughter, who pursued righteousness and justice to an extreme.
