Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 357: Pretty Good Luck

Gu Ningyue arrived early and chose a seat right in a corner.

Even if someone walked by, they wouldn’t give it a second glance, making it a great spot for gossip.

And it seemed Gu Ningyue’s luck wasn’t too bad either; the first pair sitting in front of her provided some useful information.

"There’s some inside scoop saying our boss didn’t go home after work but instead went to... a hotel."

Gu Ningyue wore headphones, although she didn’t have the music on. Still, they deliberately lowered their voices, so even straining her ears, Gu Ningyue couldn’t catch which hotel they mentioned.

But there’s no need to rush. As long as she checks with Li Yulan’s identity, she’ll know which hotel she’s stayed at.

By then, who knows what Gu Zheng’s face will look like?

"Do you think our boss’s wife knows?" one woman asked, her face filled with gossip.

"Probably not, right?" The woman who initially spoke to Gu Ningyue replied, "But even if she does, what’s she going to do? Our boss’s wife looks like the kind who doesn’t have much of a temper. She’d probably just swallow it down even if she knew."

"Not necessarily! This is infidelity!" the woman who spoke earlier muttered indignantly, "Besides, I’ve heard that when our boss was down and out, his wife stuck with him through hard times abroad."

"Oh, please, that’s nothing. Men get bad when they get rich. How can..."

Listening to their gossip, Gu Ningyue turned her attention out the window.

Once the two had finished their food and left with their trays, Gu Ningyue took off her headphones and turned her head back.

It wasn’t long before someone else sat across from Gu Ningyue.

This time, it was a man and a woman, seemingly a couple in the midst of a romance.

Gu Ningyue wasn’t interested in the lovey-dovey behavior between couples. Before finishing her coffee, she sensibly got up and left the table for the pair.

"Hey, isn’t that President Xiang?"

A small exclamation came from nearby, and Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but scan the crowd for Xiang Bei.

Soon, Gu Ningyue’s gaze settled on a man in a black suit.

Though around the age of her father, this man looked more spirited than Gu Zheng, who had lived all his life in City A.

Especially those eyes, much sharper.

But just that face alone, compared to Gu Zheng, fell far behind.

Judging by appearance alone, Gu Ningyue naturally felt Gu Zheng had the upper hand.

Watching him leave through the door, Gu Ningyue naturally wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity, and as soon as Xiang Bei stepped out, she followed.

Watching Xiang Bei get into his car, Gu Ningyue drove not too close, not too far, following behind.

When the car had driven a distance, a smile tugged at Gu Ningyue’s lips.

Couldn’t tell, but it seemed Xiang Bei couldn’t hold back even in broad daylight?

Looks like Li Yulan’s charm is something else!

Watching Xiang Bei park the car, Gu Ningyue also found a spot to park and walked into Moonlight Hotel.

Her luck today was truly excellent. She expected to wait until getting back to find out which hotel Li Yulan was staying at, but now she already had this extra intel.

The black silhouette had already reached the elevator, and Gu Ningyue quickly followed.

The front desk called out a few times, but Gu Ningyue pointed toward the elevator: "I’m here to find someone, I’ll be just a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened, and Gu Ningyue entered with Xiang Bei.

Probably because Gu Ningyue wore sunglasses and a mask, even though Xiang Bei had seen her photo, he didn’t notice anything amiss.

Seeing Xiang Bei press a floor number, Gu Ningyue selected the floor right below it.

Gu Ningyue exited the elevator first. Without waiting for the door to close, she quickly reached the stairwell door.

As she ascended, the ’ding’ of the elevator arriving sounded.

Gu Ningyue hid silently behind the door, watching as Xiang Bei used a room card to unlock a door and was pulled inside by a fair, slender hand.

On that hand was a green jade bracelet.

This bracelet, Gu Ningyue had seen quite often at the Gu Family—so it was really her!

Although Ling Tianyou had already revealed the truth, witnessing it now with her own eyes, Gu Ningyue still felt a wave of shock.

Haven’t these years been good enough for Li Yulan from Gu Zheng? Nearly all household matters were in Li Yulan’s control, with no interference; otherwise, the original host wouldn’t have been bullied so severely.

Whatever she wanted, Gu Zheng never withheld.

Yet now, Li Yulan was sneaking around with Xiang Bei?

"Indeed, a dog can never stop eating shit." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Back then, she willingly became Gu Zheng’s mistress for money and status; now, of course, she could betray Gu Zheng for money and status.

However, Xiang Bei was not like Gu Zheng, who always stayed home doing business like an ’honest man.’ The world he interacted with was far beyond what Gu Zheng could reach.

But it seemed Li Yulan didn’t mind this at all?

With these thoughts, Gu Ningyue turned and took the elevator down.

"Hello, are there any rooms available on the fourth floor?"

The receptionist was momentarily stunned when Gu Ningyue returned, "Hello, please hold on a moment... There’s a suite available on the fourth floor, but it’s at the corner. The faucet and showerhead are broken and under repair. If you don’t mind, I can offer you a discount for the inconvenience and arrange your stay."

Gu Ningyue nodded, handing over her ID card: "That’s fine."

The receptionist took the ID card and asked Gu Ningyue, "How many nights will you be staying?"

Gu Ningyue pondered for a moment, "Two nights."

The receptionist acknowledged and, after typing a few keys, told Gu Ningyue, "After discount, your total is nine hundred and ninety-eight yuan."

Gu Ningyue didn’t say much, took back her ID card, placed it in her wallet, and handed over a card from it.

"Here’s your room key. If you need anything, please call the front desk. Enjoy your stay."

Gu Ningyue nodded slightly. Once at her room, Gu Ningyue suddenly realized why Li Yulan chose this place.

The hotel’s décor was indeed... suggestive!

Locking the door behind her, Gu Ningyue deftly slipped down to the third floor via the sunlit balcony.

Using the fire escape, Gu Ningyue took out her phone and aimed it at one of the windows:

"Why are you so late? I was bored to death here all by myself."

"Then why don’t you go home! Maybe your husband is waiting for you there."

"He’s not waiting for me. He hasn’t even sent me a single text."

"Then you should definitely go home! Being with me is just putting yourself out."

"Oh no, you’re tired of me, aren’t you? If it weren’t for you, I would..."
