Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 269: It’s All in the Past

Perhaps it was because Ye Mingchen’s plea was too earnest, or perhaps it was because she thought of the villa soon to be in her name, Gu Wanwan’s expression finally changed a bit.

"Ye Mingchen, this is the last time." Gu Wanwan wiped away a tear, "The wedding can continue, but you have to go up there and explain clearly what exactly happened! Also, you need to publicly apologize to me!"

This was her one and only wedding, and if it ended like this, wouldn’t she be ridiculed by everyone?

Moreover, Gu Ningyue was watching right in front of her at this moment!

She wanted to save face, wanted an apology from Ye Mingchen, wanted her dignity.

In this circle, an illegitimate child like her was always looked down upon.

Even though Gu Zheng had adored her since she was young, it was inevitable.

This time, she wanted to stand up for herself.

When Li Yulan heard her daughter’s words, she finally couldn’t hold back, "Wanwan, this is our family matter. Let the host come up with an excuse later. If you do this, where would that leave Mingchen’s face!"

The Ye Family never liked Gu Wanwan, and if it came to publicly embarrassing Ye Mingchen, wouldn’t they dislike her even more?

This child was usually quite clever, what got into her today?

Could it be because Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou came, and she’s intentionally trying to stand her ground? Childish!

Even if Ye Mingchen gives her this face, so what? Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou clearly don’t care.

They were here just to watch the show, as to what kind of show it was, they didn’t care.

As long as the leading roles were Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan, it was enough.

Unfortunately, her daughter didn’t seem to understand this reasoning.

Before Gu Wanwan could open her mouth, Ye Mingchen suddenly said, "Mom, let’s do as Wanwan said! It’s my fault to Wanwan, if this can make her feel better, I’m willing to do it!"

As soon as he said it, even the two elders of the Ye Family were shocked.

Ye Mingchen was actually willing to go this far for Gu Wanwan?

They had previously assumed Ye Mingchen was just trying to marry a figurehead so he could live a carefree life outside without supervision, but now they suddenly felt uncertain.

"Mingchen, Wanwan is just angry." Li Yulan tried to ease the situation, squeezing Gu Wanwan’s shoulder with force, "Wanwan, calm down, everyone makes mistakes sometimes!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Li Yulan and said displeased, "Aunt Li, Ye Mingchen has already said he wants to solve this, why do you keep stopping him? Do you want to see the young couple harbor resentment for life and not get along well?"

Li Yulan was stunned, frowning, "Ning Yue, Wanwan is my biological daughter, how could I not want her to be well? It’s precisely because I wish her well that I can’t watch her act on impulse. When you have children one day, you’ll understand the heart of a parent."

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "I don’t know what I’ll be like if I have children, but if that day comes and my daughter suffers such grievance, I certainly wouldn’t say such nonsense on my son-in-law’s behalf!"

She used to think Li Yulan was truly good to Gu Wanwan, but after she left the Gu Family, she realized it was only in the presence of a common enemy, Gu Ningyue!

After saying these few words, Gu Ningyue shifted her gaze to Ye Mingchen, not waiting for Li Yulan to retort.

That gaze was sharp enough to leave no place to hide.

"Mom, this is my fault, even if I’ve cut ties, it doesn’t deny this fact. Later, I’ll publicly apologize to Wanwan!"

Ye Mingchen took a deep breath, his tone very resolute.

Seeing Ye Mingchen like this, the elders of both families said no more.

But Old Man Ye looked at Gu Wanwan with a hint of displeasure.

How could such a petty girl be fit to be a daughter-in-law of the Ye Family?

If it were another lady from a prominent family, it would never have ended this way.

Unfortunately, having reached this point, there were no other options.

As things settled, Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou turned back to their seats.

"Really boring." Gu Ningyue poured a glass of juice, took a sip, and said, "I thought Gu Wanwan would really make a big scene! It turned out to be just a ’I don’t want to live’, tsk tsk tsk..."

Ling Tianyou asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Gu Ningyue swirled her wine glass and thought for a moment, "Depends on whether I love that person or not! If I don’t love them, I might not even slap them. If I love them a lot, I’d probably faint on the spot!"

Even she might not be able to withstand such a shock.

At least now, she couldn’t!

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "What if it’s just an average kind of love?"

Gu Ningyue seriously considered for a while, "I’d probably weigh the pros and cons to see what this wedding means to me. If continuing it benefits me, I’d probably stick it out till the end and then make him pay the price."

Ling Tianyou gazed into Gu Ningyue’s pretty eyes, "What if the one who did this was me?"

He dared not ask directly which kind she saw him as, so he asked this way.

He never thought there would be a day when he would feel fear.

"Never thought about it." Gu Ningyue said bluntly, "I used to think about it, but after Chen Rui appeared, I never thought about it again."

Even in dreams, she didn’t know who the groom was, let alone in this stark reality.

Upon hearing this, Ling Tianyou felt inexplicably unsettled, "Chen Rui and I are just friends, we were friends before, and will only ever be friends."

Gu Ningyue asked, "What about now?"

She looked into Ling Tianyou’s captivating eyes, hoping to find an answer she liked.

Ling Tianyou sighed inwardly, "Now, friends, and collaborators, nothing more."

Gu Ningyue said nothing, watching Ling Tianyou for a while before saying, "You once stayed in the hospital for a long time to save Chen Rui. Are you sure you’re just friends?"

Thinking of those reports, Gu Ningyue’s mood, which had been somewhat good, suddenly turned sullen.

If that were just friends, Ling Tianyou would need ten lives to spare.

Ling Tianyou was silent for a while, his lips parted slightly, "That was an accident. Chen Rui and I have known each other since we were kids. Even if it were someone else I knew for over a decade, I would do the same. Don’t misunderstand!"

"If it’s my misunderstanding, then you missed your own award ceremony to help Chen Rui was also just because you’re friends?"

Ling Tianyou sighed, "Ning Yue, it’s all in the past!"
