Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 247: I’m Sorry

Watching Lin Ruixian chat enthusiastically with Lao Wu and Lao Qi, Gu Ningyue regretted in her heart that she shouldn’t have agreed to stay in City A with Lin Ruixian.

Staying here not only meant boring stakeouts every day, but also possibly facing the ’misunderstanding’ between Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui. This was just too miserable.

She should have gone with Lin Ruixian instead of staying here.

She decided secretly in her heart that as long as she found the slightest hint of something ’off’ about the owner of Minghua Hotel, she would go to City Y to join Lin Ruixian and the others.

The next morning, Gu Ningyue changed her clothes, checked her wounds, and then went to Minghua Hotel as planned.

First, she managed to meet the manager of Minghua Hotel. Gu Ningyue deliberately mentioned something that the manager had no authority to handle. The manager told Gu Ningyue he would ask the owner and get back to her if possible.

Then she used some means to see some things she wanted to see, and only then did she leave Minghua Hotel around noon.

Throughout, Gu Ningyue maintained a smiling face, her demeanor extremely elegant.

Even so, some faint whispers reached her from behind.

"Isn’t she the eldest Miss of the Gu Family? She doesn’t look like she’s sick, huh!"

"What do you know? Sometimes you can’t tell until they’re having an episode."

"Miss Chen from the Chen Family had a birthday party the day before yesterday. President Ling came, why wasn’t she there?"

"Yeah! Why did she come alone today? Could they have broken up?"

"I think Miss Chen and President Ling are more suitable for each other. Miss Chen looks so classy!"

"..."

Gu Ningyue glanced at her reflection in the glass beside her: a strapless white top and a light blue iridescent fishtail skirt hugging her hips. Her figure was graceful and charming. Even if not a fairy descended to earth, she was the unique focus on the street.

How could she be inferior to Chen Rui? If anything, her height was a bit lacking compared to Chen Rui’s, not quite with that mature woman vibe!

As she turned and opened the car door, ready to get in, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly called from behind: "Miss Gu? What a coincidence?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head and saw a man wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face appear in front of her: "Su Heng?"

What kind of fate is this? How could she see him here?

Su Heng smiled, "It’s me. Miss Gu still remembers me."

If it were someone else, Su Heng might be confident, but in front of Gu Ningyue, Su Heng didn’t have that assurance.

Because he could see that Gu Ningyue had no interest in him.

She wasn’t pretending, nor was she playing hard to get. It was as if she couldn’t see him at all in her eyes.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given his contact to Chi Xingtong back then.

"Big star, how could I forget." Thinking of the incident with the fake name before, Gu Ningyue let out an awkward laugh, "Aren’t you busy with schedules today? Why are you here alone?"

Su Heng’s voice was like Heavenly Sound, even saying a few ordinary words could make people swoon: "I had too much work some time ago. The company gave me a vacation after I finished those. I was bored at home, so I came out to wander around."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "I see! I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll go first. We can chat another time when there’s time!"

"Wait a minute." Su Heng took off his sunglasses, revealing eyes that were clear and captivating, "Is Miss Gu not planning to say something for deceiving me before?"

Gu Ningyue paused, her hand poised to open the car door once again stalled: "About that... I’m sorry, besides saying that, I don’t know what else to say."

To say it was unintentional, even she might not believe it.

Everything was meticulously planned, and saying that would be somewhat shameless.

Besides, Gu Ningyue didn’t want to make excuses for what she had done.

Su Heng displayed a slight smile, his whole being seemed more charming by two degrees: "As compensation, shouldn’t Miss Gu pay a price?"

"That depends on what price," Gu Ningyue said cautiously, "If it’s too heavy a price, I might not feel sorry, you know!"

She always felt that Su Heng had some scheme, a feeling that emerged after meeting him the second time.

Or perhaps from the first meeting, Su Heng had an agenda, just she didn’t notice at the time and hence didn’t mind. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Haha, rest assured, Miss Gu, I have only one request." Su Heng smiled exceptionally brightly, "Last time I didn’t get to add Miss Gu’s contact, and I’ve always regretted it. This time, wouldn’t Miss Gu give me a chance?"

Gu Ningyue hesitated, "Can we make it another request?"

If Chi Xingtong found out she added Su Heng, she would probably be very upset, right?

Besides, even if she added him, so what? She didn’t think Su Heng was as great as Chi Xingtong and Shen Hanyin described.

At least, not after she’d met Ling Tianyou.

Su Heng’s clear eyes revealed a saddened expression, making one feel rather unbearable: "Because of what? Your fiancé or for Miss Chi?"

It wasn’t hard to see that Gu Ningyue had a special relationship with Chi Xingtong, and of course, he knew Chi Xingtong’s feelings for him.

But he really couldn’t bring himself to feel any interest in Chi Xingtong, so he hadn’t given any response to her feelings.

He somewhat didn’t understand, what’s wrong with being friends? Why must they have more?

Once obtained, everything changes.

He loved the freshness of beginnings, not the ultimate wreckage.

More than the loss, for him, the tearing of past beauty was the greatest torment.

Facing Su Heng’s warmth, Gu Ningyue thought for a moment and said, "Both, I guess!"

Su Heng was silent for a while, just as Gu Ningyue was about to say something to leave, he suddenly spoke: "Miss Gu might have misunderstood me, I have no other intentions for Miss Gu. I simply want to be friends with Miss Gu, and if that’s inconvenient for Miss Gu, I won’t insist. I respect Miss Gu’s wishes."

Insist...

A picture flashed in Gu Ningyue’s mind, and for some reason, she changed her mind in an instant: "No inconvenience, it was my misunderstanding before. Would you like to scan me, or should I scan you?"

As she spoke, Gu Ningyue took out her phone.

Su Heng smiled lightly, "I’ll scan you then!"

After adding each other as friends, Gu Ningyue greeted him and drove away.

Staring at the notification of a new friend on his phone, Su Heng’s lips raised a meaningful smile.

Indeed, in moments of disappointment, people lose the wisdom they usually have.

Will there come a day when Gu Ningyue regrets her actions today?

Even if she does regret, it might already be too late!

After all, everyone must pay the price for their actions, right?
