Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 224: Fickle

Ling Tianyou apparently hadn’t found anything about his master, which is why he asked her with this attitude.

Gu Ningyue was well aware of this, so she deliberately said those things to annoy him!

Since he cares for Chen Rui in every possible way, why couldn’t there be someone important in her heart?

Even if it’s just false, she wants to make Ling Tianyou feel uncomfortable for a little while.

She knows her behavior is childish, but seeing Ling Tianyou’s frustrated expression makes her unrestrainedly happy.

"More important than me?" Ling Tianyou indeed misunderstood her words, clearly suppressing slight anger while speaking to her.

Gu Ningyue tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, "As things stand, it is indeed more important than you." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This time, Ling Tianyou said nothing, his expression solemn, with disappointment in his eyes.

Gu Ningyue quietly watched the scenery outside, contemplating what to say if Ling Tianyou got angry.

Only after an unknown amount of time passed did she hear nothing except a deep sigh.

"Get out of the car!"

Gu Ningyue turned her head to see Ling Tianyou looking down at his phone, not knowing what he’s viewing.

Sensing Gu Ningyue’s gaze, Ling Tianyou added, "There’s an urgent matter at home, I can’t drive you. Find a taxi and go back yourself!"

Gu Ningyue: "...Alright, goodbye."

After getting out of the car and closing the car door, Gu Ningyue didn’t ask more questions and turned to hail a taxi by the roadside.

Had she known this would happen, she wouldn’t have gotten into Ling Tianyou’s car and now has to spend extra money on a taxi!

Does he even know how expensive taxis are nowadays!

The previous joy vanished, replaced by unspeakable grievance.

Will Ling Tianyou come looking for her again after this time?

What was she doing just now, why didn’t she reveal what she saw last night?

At the very least, shouldn’t she give him a chance to explain?

Thinking about it now, Gu Ningyue regretted it.

Since when did she become so capricious?

Driving back to the Gu Family, as soon as she entered, Gu Ningyue saw Gu Zheng, who had returned unbeknownst to her.

Sitting on the sofa watching TV with Li Yulan, they had a laughing and talking manner that really had the essence of an old married couple.

"Ning Yue’s back?" Gu Zheng heard the sound and turned to look at her, "Come sit, I have something to tell you."

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a moment, then sat on the sofa, "What’s up, Dad? Anything wrong?"

Though she used a term of address, her gaze was cold, really making it impossible to associate with the typical image of a daughter.

And this face, it’s exactly like her mother’s when she was young.

Memories of those days spent relying on others surfaced in his mind, and Gu Zheng’s voice carried some barely noticeable impatience, "Your mother’s room has been renovated, you’ve stayed home long enough, it’s time to return to President Ling’s side."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright, I’ll leave tonight."

Gu Zheng was somewhat surprised, thinking there’d be some persuasion needed, he didn’t expect Gu Ningyue to agree so readily.

Thus, what he just said sounded like he was hastily trying to drive his daughter away.

"No rush, I’ll drive you back tomorrow," Gu Zheng said, "Otherwise, President Ling might think you lack support and look down on you, which wouldn’t be good."

Gu Ningyue gave a cold laugh inwardly, if he truly feared his daughter being looked down upon, perhaps she wouldn’t have turned out as she did today.

"No need, it’s too hot during the day, I don’t have much stuff, I can drive back myself," Gu Ningyue said as she stood up, giving Gu Zheng no chance to refuse, "I’ll go pack now and won’t have dinner at home tonight."

"Ning Yue..." Watching Gu Ningyue head upstairs, Gu Zheng only called her name, then said nothing more.

Li Yulan watched the closed door, secretly relieved, this troublesome spirit is finally leaving!

Otherwise, seeing Gu Ningyue’s face every day might lead her back to ICU!

"Old man, let’s call Wanwan and Mingchen back for dinner tonight!" Li Yulan stretched, "Since I came back, I haven’t seen much of Mingchen!"

Since Wanwan doesn’t want to talk about Xiao Heng’s matter, as his future mother-in-law, she’ll mention it instead!

Gu Zheng lightly said, "Mm, you decide! I might have some things tonight, need to go back to the office."

Li Yulan asked a couple of symbolic questions, then didn’t linger on the issue.

Having been together so many years, the past passion is long gone, she really doesn’t care where he goes.

As long as she’s still Madam Gu, even if he raises another mistress outside, she won’t mind.

After all, the current Gu Zheng isn’t the same as he was before, right?

Gu Ningyue packed her things into a suitcase and tidied up items she hadn’t taken earlier, then called a servant to drag her luggage downstairs.

With her current injury, lifting a twenty-four inch suitcase is impossible, even heavier objects like water would be unrealistic.

If careless, the wound might pose a problem.

"Dad, I’m leaving," though Gu Ningyue looked pale, her eyes were resolute, which made Gu Zheng uncomfortable, "I hope no one disturbs my mother’s room again."

Gu Zheng remembered Gu Heng, who was locked up, and felt uneasy under Gu Ningyue’s gaze, "Mm, take care on the road. Visit often if you can."

Gu Ningyue nodded, dismissing his words, before disappearing into the night.

Upon leaving, Gu Ningyue called Shen Hanyin’s parents, inquiring about Shen Hanyin’s condition, which eased her mind a bit.

Fortunately, she’s awake, future recovery hinges on treatment and luck.

As long as there are no complications or accidents, with treatment, she might heal without lasting issues.

Gu Ningyue set the navigation and drove east.

Twenty minutes later, she struggled to drag her luggage out of the car.

This was the house Ling Tianyou had bought for her, and it had already been renovated.

Unlike the ’haunted house’ she purchased which hasn’t been fixed, not even a place to sit.

It’s just right for her to recuperate and maneuver now.

Going back to Ling Tianyou would only bring her trouble; injured as she is, with worsening relations, returning might lead to unpredictable outcomes.

Here, she can stay until business is concluded, then return to finally ’settle things’ with Ling Tianyou.

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue changed her bandages, turned off her phone, and lay on the bed.

Engulfed in nightfall, she needed a good dream...
