Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 323: A Sure Win

For some unknown reason, Gu Ningyue found herself deeply confused for the first time about the relationship between Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui.

She had originally thought that Ling Tianyou’s feelings for Chen Rui were merely due to familial ties and the childhood friendship they shared.

Perhaps there were some personal feelings involved, but over the recent days, they hadn’t been enough for her to feel overwhelmed.

But at this moment, Gu Ningyue felt like she might have been wrong.

Where exactly she was wrong, she wasn’t even sure herself.

Seeing Gu Ningyue standing still, looking at him with an inquisitive gaze, Ling Tianyou unexplainably felt a bit guilty: "Ning Yue?"

Gu Ningyue snapped back to reality, lowered her gaze, and thought for a moment, "And you?"

Leaving Ling Tianyou here with Chen Rui, she felt quite powerless.

Thinking of this, before Ling Tianyou could reply, Gu Ningyue already looked up at Ling Tianyou and said, "Would you come in with me? I’m feeling a bit dizzy."

Ling Tianyou paused, glanced at Chen Rui beside him, and smiled apologetically, "She’s not good with alcohol. I’ll help her inside first. It’s windy here, so come inside after a while. The banquet is about to end."

Chen Rui looked at the clear-headed Gu Ningyue, whose face was calm, showing no signs of drunkenness.

Moreover, at the banquet just now, she clearly only had a single drink.

Since Ling Tianyou had already said so, she definitely couldn’t say anything unreasonable, "Alright. Take her back quickly! People who drink too much and are exposed to the wind tend to vomit."

Ling Tianyou nodded, wrapped his arm around Gu Ningyue’s shoulder, and turned to leave.

Watching the two walking away together, Chen Rui’s smile froze.

She didn’t understand; what else did Gu Ningyue have apart from her face?

Petty and without the demeanor of a great family’s daughter, she couldn’t bring any benefit to Ling Tianyou. What on earth did he see in Gu Ningyue?

If it were her, she would have handled the scene just now better than Gu Ningyue did.

The evening breeze blew, and Chen Rui quickly calmed down.

Forget it, there’s a long way to go. One day, the one standing by Ling Tianyou’s side will be her!

From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing she couldn’t obtain!

Including love! This confidence was something she always had.

Ten minutes later, Chen Rui returned to the hall.

Her demeanor remained poised, as if it wasn’t her who had been left alone in the garden just now. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

No anger, no displeasure at all.

Gu Ningyue observed her from afar, somewhat admiring her mental resilience.

If it had been Gu Wanwan, she might have lost her temper or had "I’m not happy" written all over her face.

The difference between people really was extraordinary!

"Weren’t you dizzy? Why are you standing here?" Ling Tianyou walked over with a glass of juice, jokingly asking.

He, of course, understood Gu Ningyue’s little thoughts, but he was happy that she cared about him.

Gu Ningyue took the juice from his hand and took a sip, "I was quite dizzy just now, but not anymore."

Ling Tianyou took her hand and sat down on a chair, "There’s still a little while before the banquet ends. Are you tired?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "Not tired, but I don’t really want to attend this kind of banquet again next time."

Ling Tianyou looked at her and asked, "Why? Because you lost the game?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head to look at him and said teasingly, "Yes! I’m tone-deaf, and I don’t want to embarrass myself again."

Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but laugh, "If you’re tone-deaf, is there anyone in the world who sings well?"

Gu Ningyue sipped her juice slowly, "Of course there is, Han Yin sings very well. You should listen some time."

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "Forget it! Not interested. But you, since when did you sing so well?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t answer his question but looked at him and asked back, "What, are you going to debut me in the center position?"

What she said was just to cover up the past of the original owner.

After all, the original owner’s singing was indeed not commendable.

Ling Tianyou seriously considered, "If you’re interested, it’s not impossible."

He owned an entertainment company, grooming an amateur for debut wasn’t difficult.

Gu Ningyue waved it off, "Forget it!"

Though glamorous, she wasn’t interested in being a star.

After all, being a star didn’t earn as much as she did on X website.

Ling Tianyou laughed, seemingly unsurprised by her answer, "So, when did you start singing so well?"

Gu Ningyue: "..." How did we end up back to this question?

"I’ve always been good. It was just that with Gu Wanwan around, I intentionally sang badly," Gu Ningyue found an excuse, considering the many evil deeds of Gu Wanwan back then, blaming her seemed appropriate.

Ling Tianyou didn’t quite believe it, "Really? What did she do to make you willingly embarrass yourself?"

Gu Ningyue casually responded, "It wasn’t just a one-time thing. Whenever Gu Wanwan was around, she was always the one in the spotlight, and I was always the one embarrassing myself. By then, it was a habit."

The original owner’s weakness and ineptitude allowed Gu Wanwan to become more outrageous over time.

If she had rebelled sooner, perhaps she wouldn’t have had the chance to take over her body.

For this reason alone, she would seek retribution for the original owner.

"Luckily, you’ve awakened. Otherwise, I might not have bothered with you." Ling Tianyou smiled and patted her head, as if patting an obedient child, "Do you know what I like most about you?"

Gu Ningyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Fair skin and beauty?"

Ling Tianyou: "..."

"I like your unyielding spirit and courage."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Oh. I thought it was my beauty that moved you."

Ling Tianyou: "...Can you be serious?"

Gu Ningyue smiled gently, looking at Chen Rui, who was chatting with a group of men and women, "There’s someone serious over there, but you don’t seem to like her."

Ling Tianyou followed her gaze, his expression deepening, "In the future, don’t do this again."

Gu Ningyue’s smile faded slightly, "What do you mean?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t answer. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it’s nothing."

Gu Ningyue wanted to ask more, but an assistant approached and whispered to Ling Tianyou, who then stood up and said to Gu Ningyue, "I have some matters to attend to. Wait here for me, don’t wander off."

"..." Gu Ningyue nodded, "Go ahead!"

Ling Tianyou left with his assistant, and Gu Ningyue sat there, her gaze resting on Chen Rui.

As their eyes met, Gu Ningyue suddenly shivered.

The determined certainty in Chen Rui’s eyes sent a chill through her.

It seemed that she intended to challenge her to the end!
