Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 273: Of Course It’s Fake

After having breakfast and arriving at the hospital, Gu Ningyue saw Miss Lin, Lin Huixia, who was in line with Ji Zhiye last time, in the lobby.

She was wearing a floral long dress, and although her face was decent, her figure seemed a bit bloated, with some fat around the waist.

Unlike last time when she was holding Ji Zhiye’s arm, this time she was alone.

What illness does this Miss Lin have, why is she here again? Could it be for a follow-up?

"Miss Gu, please wait!"

Just as Gu Ningyue was about to walk into the elevator, she heard a gentle call from behind.

Turning around, Lin Huixia was already beside her.

"Hello?"

Lin Huixia looked at Gu Ningyue’s face, which was captivating even with sunglasses on, and felt a sharp pain as if a needle had pierced her heart.

"It’s really you! I thought I saw someone else last time at the hospital!"

Gu Ningyue gave a polite smile, "Is there something you need? I need to hurry to see my friend."

Lin Huixia glanced at the noisy crowd around, "Could I take a few minutes of Miss Gu’s time, to speak privately? I have some questions about Miss Shen that I’d like to ask."

Miss Shen, Shen Hanyin?

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a few seconds, nodded, and turned to sit with Lin Huixia on a bench not far away in the lobby.

Today is not a weekend, so there are many vacant seats. Lin Huixia placed her bag aside and said to Gu Ningyue, "Actually, this is a bit embarrassing to say, and Miss Gu might think I’m being childish, but if I don’t get this sorted out, I fear I’ll never get over it."

Gu Ningyue guessed what Lin Huixia wanted to ask but just looked at her and said, "Please go ahead, Miss Lin."

Lin Huixia pondered for a moment, "I heard that Miss Shen was once with Ji Zhiye, is that true?"

Gu Ningyue curled her lips; it was as expected: "Of course, that’s false. Hanyin and Mr. Ji were just friends and were never together."

This was thanks to Ji Zhiye’s greed, always wanting to climb higher, which gave Shen Hanyin a way out.

Otherwise, being with someone like that, who knows how you might die one day.

Like the original mother’s relationship with Gu Zheng, she gave everything but didn’t get to see him one last time in the end.

"I see!" Lin Huixia was thoughtful, "I checked Zhiye’s phone, and I thought Miss Shen and Zhiye were together."

Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, "When? Hanyin had an accident half a month ago and only woke up a week ago. Leaving aside external contact, even Hanyin’s parents rarely managed more than a few words face-to-face. In such circumstances, Hanyin didn’t have the capability to chat with anyone."

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s displeasure, Lin Huixia quickly explained, "Miss Gu misunderstood. I just saw some chat screenshots on Zhiye’s phone and got confused! Plus, some people from Zhiye’s clinic said they saw Zhiye bring Miss Shen over before, and there were some rumors, so I thought I’d come to ask Miss Gu myself!"

Her attitude was very humble, quite different from her previous disdain for the original character.

Gu Ningyue knew that seventy percent of this change was due to Ling Tianyou.

Without him, no matter how she changed, she would still be looked down upon as a ’lunatic’ by these high society people.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ningyue said to Lin Huixia, "Hanyin and Mr. Ji were indeed friends for a while, but later their beliefs diverged significantly, so they lost contact since then. Miss Lin can rest assured; Hanyin and Mr. Ji are pure, and I can vouch for Hanyin on this point! Moreover, they will not have any contact in the future!"

Gu Ningyue’s gaze was firm, and Lin Huixia felt a bit reassured, showing a slight smile, "I overthought it. Zhiye is very nice and attentive to me. But for women, the more you care, the more you overthink, making Miss Gu laugh at me!"

Gu Ningyue smiled and stood up, "If there’s nothing else, Miss Lin, I’ll head up. Goodbye!"

Lin Huixia slightly raised the corners of her mouth, watching Gu Ningyue and said, "Goodbye, let’s have a meal together sometime, Miss Gu."

Gu Ningyue nodded and turned to wait for the elevator.

Behind her, Lin Huixia watched Gu Ningyue’s graceful figure as the smile on her face gradually faded.

This woman, once deemed a lunatic, seemed to have undergone a transformation.

What exactly did Gu Ningyue experience during this time?

If she had such appearance and figure, perhaps she wouldn’t worry about keeping Ji Zhiye’s heart.

Even though Ji Zhiye is good to her now, who can say what it will be like in the future?

It’s said that even the Chi family’s young daughter, Chi Xingtong, had some feelings for Ji Zhiye.

Fortunately, she’s gone abroad now; otherwise, someone like herself would be no match for her.

Even someone as devoted to Ling Tianyou as that doesn’t resist Ji Zhiye’s charm, so how can she keep him?

No, she has to think of a way to make Ji Zhiye belong entirely to her!

In the ICU, Shen Hanyin was holding a banana with Mrs. Shen.

Seeing her arrive, Shen Hanyin’s eyes lit up, "Ningyue, you’re here."

Although her voice was still a bit weak, it was much better than the barely audible whisper from before.

Gu Ningyue nodded and placed the supplements she was holding aside, "How are you feeling? Any better?"

Shen Hanyin slowly swallowed the banana, "Much better."

Gu Ningyue smiled and said, "That’s great. Auntie told you, right? Those who hurt you have been caught, so once you’re discharged, there’s nothing to worry about."

"You weren’t hurt, were you?" Shen Hanyin asked her.

Initially, when she heard the news, Shen Hanyin felt relieved. But thinking more about it, she realized that Gu Ningyue must have gone through a lot behind it.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No. Get well soon, and we can go to the amusement park together. It’s so boring by myself without you!"

Shen Hanyin asked her, "What about Ling Tianyou? Is he very busy lately?"

Gu Ningyue’s expression froze, "Him! He’s been quite occupied lately, no time to keep me company."

"I see!" Shen Hanyin suddenly remembered what her mother mentioned and quickly shifted the topic with a light cough: "Sit down! Why are you standing all the time?"

Mrs. Shen washed an apple and handed it to Gu Ningyue, smiling, "Ningyue, come often to see her if you’re free. Although Hanyin’s health has improved, she can’t go anywhere, having someone to chat with is just right to keep her company."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright, I’ll come to the hospital often to accompany her."

If there are no unexpected events, there shouldn’t be any more trouble for a while.

Of course, this is if the "if" becomes a reality.
