Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 299: Can’t Even Bear to Imagine

All the way to the Ling Family’s old house, Ling Tianyou took out the items he had bought in advance from the trunk and handed some to Gu Ningyue: "Just say you bought them."

Gu Ningyue felt very guilty about Ling Tianyou’s ’consideration’.

With the gifts prepared by Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue was especially polite when she met Ling Tianyou’s parents.

"The food is just ready, just put the things there, wash your hands and eat!" Mrs. Ling’s eyes were red; although she wore a smile, her whole person no longer had the previous aura she used to have. It seemed she must have been deeply affected by Ling Tianze’s matter.

It wasn’t long after the items were put away that Ling Chengyang also came downstairs.

Gu Ningyue politely greeted him, and Ling Chengyang didn’t appear as cold as he did when they first met, nodding slightly as a courtesy to Gu Ningyue.

"Where’s Xiao Xuan?" Ling Tianyou asked, "Hasn’t he been brought back yet?"

Liu Liu served the last dish on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat down: "I sent him to my mom’s this morning, and will bring him back tomorrow. With him here, it’s hard for us family members to have a proper talk."

Ling Xuan was spoiled like a little tyrant by the two elders, and the housekeeper and maid were no match for him.

Rather than letting him make trouble here, it’s better to send him out.

The most important thing is, no one has the energy left to manage this little tyrant now.

"That’s fine." Ling Tianyou said calmly, "The child is still young and knows nothing."

Mrs. Ling drank a sip of water beside her: "Let’s eat! Today, your dad knew you were coming back, so he specially had someone make the dishes you love."

Ling Tianyou responded, seeing Gu Ningyue’s restrained demeanor, he placed a piece of food onto her plate.

Mrs. Ling looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Why has Ning Yue gotten so thin? Haven’t you been eating well? You don’t look well either, is it because the last injury hasn’t healed properly?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, somewhat warmed by Mrs. Ling’s concern: "It’s nothing, Auntie, the weather’s been too hot recently, so I haven’t felt like eating."

Liu Liu chimed in: "Yes, it’s been getting hotter and hotter, Xiao Xuan almost got heatstroke at his grandpa’s place..."

The family sat together, chatting aimlessly about the recent weather and family affairs, like any family would.

Yet inexplicably, Gu Ningyue felt there was a somber cloud lingering in the old house of the Ling Family.

Even though the topic was avoided, it still made people feel uneasy.

"I heard recently that Miss Lin has a new boyfriend, he’s a pharmacist, looks good and has a house in City A." Liu Liu said, "But his family doesn’t have any background, and he’s not a native of City A."

Mrs. Ling replied: "Lin Huixia? That child was quite unruly as a kid, but she’s grown up to be more refined now. However, that man might be looking for a City A capital account."

Gu Ningyue silently ate her food, naturally knowing exactly who Liu Liu was talking about.

In her view, Ji Zhiye wanted not only the capital account in City A, but most likely all of the Lin family’s assets.

"Yes, Lin Huixia has already had two confrontations with her family to be with this pharmacist." Liu Liu said flatly: "Almost made Mr. Lin fall ill, and one time she even made herself sick! Ah, why put yourself through this!"

If the family backgrounds don’t match, even if they are forced to be together, they will eventually break up.

Once they marry and then break up, it will be too late for anything.

At that time, just thinking about the asset disputes would give anyone a headache.

If it doesn’t end in chaos, it will be hard to resolve.

"Lin Yucheng is rather open-minded, surely there are other reasons why he won’t let his daughter be with that man." Mrs. Ling shook her head and sighed, "Ah, kids nowadays!"

Mrs. Ling thought of the past with Ling Tianze, sighed heavily, and then said no more.

It was Ling Chengyang, who hadn’t spoken all this time, who suddenly turned to Gu Ningyue and said: "I heard Ning Yue went home for a while, did Gu Zheng say anything?"

Ling Tianyou was getting older too, it was time for him to settle down.

It’s just that if it’s not Gu Ningyue, that would be best.

However, seeing Gu Zheng willing to spend fifty million as dowry just to marry Gu Wanwan into the Ye Family, perhaps it would be the same for Gu Ningyue too.

Just unsure whether Gu Zheng would treat his daughter, Gu Ningyue, equally.

Gu Ningyue was silent for a few seconds, looking at Ling Chengyang: "No, my dad was busy with Wanwan’s wedding at that time, he hasn’t managed other matters yet."

Moreover, her marriage wouldn’t be determined by him.

Who she wanted to marry was only her decision, not whoever he wanted her to marry.

Ling Chengyang nodded, having understood clearly.

It seemed Gu Zheng wasn’t concerned about his daughter Gu Ningyue.

Both of them had been living together, yet there hadn’t even been an engagement, and for someone like Gu Zheng who values face so much, he hadn’t mentioned it for so long.

Gu Ningyue’s usual status at home was evident.

How could his proud son marry a woman so disregarded by her family?

Even if there’s nothing wrong with her mentally, he didn’t want such a woman, who didn’t benefit the family, to enter the door.

Finally finishing the meal, Ling Chengyang looked at Ling Tianyou: "Come with me to the study."

Ling Tianyou nodded, knowing without saying what his father wanted to discuss.

As Gu Ningyue watched the two head upstairs, she was about to get up to help clear the table, but Liu Liu had already held her hand: "No need to tidy up, Sister-in-law, they can handle it. Let’s go to my room to chat!"

Gu Ningyue, seeing the sadness in Liu Liu’s eyes, nodded and went upstairs with her to her and Ling Tianze’s bedroom.

Mrs. Ling sighed, turning into her own room.

With the door closed, Liu Liu’s eyes filled with tears that almost fell uncontrollably: "Sister-in-law, I went to see Tianze yesterday, he seems like a different person. In such a short time, he seems to have suffered a lot of grievances. I..."

Thinking about the once radiant and handsome man, now haggard in just ten days, Liu Liu felt heartache as if she had been punched harshly.

Gu Ningyue stood helplessly, "Liu Liu, the detention center isn’t a resort, how can it be comfortable? Once he comes out, he’ll be back to his old self, as long as he can change!"

"But what if he can’t? I’ve been researching a lot lately, many people never succeed in a lifetime." Liu Liu’s anxiety was evident, "If Tianze is like that, what about me and Xiao Xuan? What about mom and dad?"

Such a future, she dared not even think about.
