Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 416: Simply a Dream

The car drove all the way to the entrance of Gujia Company, and Gu Ningyue got out with her suitcase.

Gu Zheng, that old bloke, was looking for her at this time, most likely because they’ve already identified the mole in the company and want to get more information from her!

Gu Ningyue looked at the towering building in front of her, and suddenly a smile crossed her lips. Just wait, Gu Family will eventually be hers, Gu Ningyue’s!

"Miss, please come in, Chairman Gu is waiting for you in the office."

As soon as Gu Ningyue walked in, someone immediately came up to greet her.

Unlike the previous arrogant attitude towards her, the woman in front was very polite.

Clearly, Gu Zheng had already fired the person who received her last time.

Not bad, they finally start to pay attention to her as a daughter.

Upon arriving at Gu Zheng’s office door, Gu Zheng’s voice had already come from inside before Gu Ningyue could knock: "Come in!"

Gu Ningyue pushed the door open and entered, seeing Gu Zheng sitting behind the desk in a suit, still as capable and dignified as when he was young.

But that face, well-maintained as it might be, has finally lost the youthful look of the old days.

Casually closing the door, Gu Ningyue brazenly pushed her suitcase over and sat on the sofa: "What was so urgent that you called me over here?"

Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue’s expression; her demeanor was more like a partner than a daughter, a stranger that made him uneasy.

"Where have you been? President Ling has been looking for you these days."

Gu Ningyue glanced at him: "Did he come to you, or did you find out secretly he was looking for me?"

Gu Zheng was taken aback: "Ning Yue, since you’re already with Ling Tianyou, you should cherish this relationship! A person like Ling Tianyou, you won’t find another even if you search all over Z country. Leaving without a word, have you thought about the consequences?"

Gu Ningyue stood up, poured herself a glass of water, and then turned back to sit on the sofa, her words light, obviously not taking Gu Zheng’s words to heart: "Dad, you hardly cared about me all these years, now don’t bother with my matters either! I know what I’m doing."

"You!" Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue leisurely drinking water, intending not to get angry, but he did get annoyed: "Ning Yue, I’m doing this for your own good, why are you so unreasonable now?"

Gu Ningyue’s gaze sharpened, and she suddenly tightened her grip on the paper cup: "Unreasonable? When I was reasonable before, I didn’t see you care much. Now you’re telling me this, don’t you find it ridiculous?"

Gu Zheng was stunned: "You are my daughter, I was just a bit busy with work before, didn’t have time for you. I know you hate me, but when you’re a parent one day, you’ll understand how tough it is!"

Gu Ningyue had seen many shameless people, but tracing the logic ’all for her own good’ to this point, Gu Zheng was the first.

Suppressing the nausea rising in her heart, Gu Ningyue looked at Gu Zheng: "If I have a daughter one day, I definitely won’t let her suffer any grievances. Now, let’s talk business! Why did you call me here?"

Gu Zheng looked at Gu Ningyue: "Your sister jumped off a building, broke a leg, and went mad from the shock after she woke up. You didn’t know about this, did you?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "It’s karma!"

Gu Zheng pursed his lips, originally wanting to teach Gu Ningyue a lesson, but seeing her expression, realized she wouldn’t listen. He spoke gently: "Ning Yue, let bygones be bygones! Dad will compensate you in the future."

Gu Ningyue raised an eyebrow: "How will you compensate me?"

She wanted to see what plan Gu Zheng had in bringing her here.

"There’s a vacant position for vice president in the company. If you’re willing, you could take it."

"Pfft!" Gu Ningyue suddenly laughed out loud; so this was Gu Zheng’s plan: "No, thanks! Wouldn’t it be better if you just give me a hundred million, a bit more practical."

Heaven knows she knows almost nothing about managing a company, not to mention her previous ’mental issues,’ even though she openly shared her real struggles on forums, rumors still exist.

Having such a person participate in company management, imagine the immense pressure that would entail.

Moreover, she didn’t want to be the vice president anyway.

"A hundred million? You’ve got quite the appetite." Gu Zheng frowned: "Your sister got only fifty million as dowry when she got married."

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly: "That’s why! Fifty million is not much at all!"

Gu Zheng looked at her: "You don’t want to join the company? This is where your mother placed a lot of hope!"

Saying this, Gu Zheng brought up Gu Ningyue’s mother.

Gu Ningyue said with a half-smile: "My mother is dead. This company indeed had her high hopes, but I’m sure my mother’s spirit in heaven wouldn’t be happy seeing me suffer in the place she had so much hope for."

"Ning Yue, what do you mean by that?" Gu Zheng finally couldn’t hold back, and scolded her harshly: "Do you plan to always rely on Ling Tianyou to support you? Look at your attitude from the moment you entered this door till now. Did I really raise you for nothing!"

Not to be outdone, Gu Ningyue stared at Gu Zheng and said: "You raised me? All the scars on my body are your doing. Without your tacit consent, how could Li Yulan and Gu Wanwan possibly torment me to this state? Besides... Dad, the money my mom left me before she died, you took quite a bit of it too, didn’t you? That money was enough to raise me as a Gu Family’s daughter to this day, wasn’t it?"

Some truths were already clear to the original owner, just that she still held a glimmer of hope for this father.

So even till death, the people the original owner hated had no trace of Gu Zheng’s shadow.

Thinking about it now, you don’t know whether to call it pathetic or pitiful.

Gu Zheng gritted his teeth, looking at the girl before him, just when Gu Ningyue thought he was about to lose his temper, Gu Zheng slowly calmed down instead: "Forget it, why am I arguing with you? After all, you’re my child, you have my blood flowing through you. Forget it, forget it..."

After saying "forget it" several times, Gu Zheng suddenly let out a deep sigh.

Gu Ningyue was unfazed, playing such a card was useless with her: "Is there anything else? If not, I’m leaving first!"

With that, Gu Ningyue stood up.

"Wait!" Gu Zheng called her back: "Ye Mingchen pinned all the blame on your sister, and now that your sister has gone mad, many things can’t be proven. Can you..."

Gu Ningyue sneered, interrupting Gu Zheng before he could finish, flatly refusing: "No way!"

What a joke, Gu Wanwan took her life, and now they want to find some turnaround from her?

That’s simply a pipe dream!
