Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 454: Stupid and Wicked

Having confirmed the candidate, Gu Ningyue pulled Xiao Yun upstairs to her own room.

Xiao Yun was somewhat unclear about Gu Ningyue’s intentions, and saw Gu Ningyue place all the makeup products on the table.

"Xiao Yun, sit."

Seeing Xiao Yun standing there blankly, Gu Ningyue reached out and pressed her in front of the dressing table.

In the mirror, Xiao Yun’s slightly naive face appeared pure and beautiful.

Gu Ningyue reached out and let down her tied-up hair, then braided it into two pigtails resting on her chest.

"Xiao Yun, you’re so cute!"

It was just a change of hairstyle, yet the girl in the mirror seemed like a different person.

Gu Ningyue gave her compliments without reserve, whereas Xiao Yun felt a bit embarrassed, "Young Madam, you flatter me."

Looking at Xiao Yun’s slightly reddish cheeks, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Yun, your parents must be very good-looking too! Otherwise, how could they have such a cute daughter like you?"

Xiao Yun paused, then softly said, "My parents haven’t recognized me for a long time, I haven’t seen them for more than ten years."

Gu Ningyue’s fingers froze just as she opened a lipstick, "Sorry, I didn’t know..."

Xiao Yun shook her head with her good temperament, "It’s okay Young Madam, I haven’t cared for a long time."

"Then during school, how did you manage?" Gu Ningyue asked while applying lipstick on her.

After the lipstick was applied, she heard Xiao Yun say, "My family has four children, I’m the eldest, with three younger brothers. So my mom gave me away very early." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"But fortunately, my foster parents were very kind and supported me till I finished high school."

At this point, Xiao Yun’s voice paused, seemingly recalling some bad memories.

Gu Ningyue sighed, "It’s alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, let’s get on with the makeup."

Xiao Yun nodded, allowing Gu Ningyue to continue on her face.

After about half an hour, a brand-new Xiao Yun appeared in the mirror.

It was a slightly mature makeup look, yet with eyes that remained clear and gentle, as if no matter how life was, they wouldn’t change.

With the pair of pigtails, she looked like an unassuming poor girl.

"Done, mission accomplished!"

Gu Ningyue called Aunt Zhang up to tidy things, then took Xiao Yun downstairs.

Ling Tianyou hadn’t left at this point, seeing Gu Ningyue and Xiao Yun come down, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised, "Did you do her makeup?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes! How is it?"

Ling Tianyou scrutinized Xiao Yun, "Not bad, fits the requirements. Just her outfit doesn’t quite fit."

Even though she played the role of a servant in the villa, her attire was far better than that of ordinary company employees outside, by a wide margin.

Upon hearing Ling Tianyou’s approval, Gu Ningyue smiled proudly. Although she hadn’t fully inherited her master’s ’disguise’ skills, a simple makeover was still decent.

As for the clothes, Gu Ningyue had already planned, "I’ll take Xiao Yun out to buy two outfits, I haven’t shopped for clothes in a long while."

Ling Tianyou lightly smiled, "Are you sure? Aunt Zhang said Chi Xingtong previously sent you a big box of custom designs from a famous designer."

Gu Ningyue was momentarily surprised, she had forgotten about those, "Well... I want to buy some that aren’t too flashy. Aren’t you going to work?"

How could she explain to Ling Tianyou that those were sent by Chi Xingtong to boost her allure over Chen Rui?

Ling Tianyou glanced at the time on his wrist, "Mm, I’ll head out first, be safe."

Gu Ningyue nodded, just as Ling Tianyou was at the door, she suddenly called out, "Wait..."

Ling Tianyou turned his head, "Mm? What’s wrong?"

Gu Ningyue looked at him, "Did you erase Xiao Yun’s resume?"

If it hasn’t been erased, it won’t hold up under scrutiny.

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly, "Of course. Since the day she joined me, all resumes have been wiped clean. Now, she’s just an abandoned, homeless orphan girl."

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect Ling Tianyou to be so thorough, she gave him a thumbs up: Impressive!

With Ling Tianyou gone, Gu Ningyue took Xiao Yun along.

"How long has Xiao Yun been under President Ling’s care?" In the car, Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt and turned the key.

Xiao Yun replied, "Almost, it’s approaching a year."

Gu Ningyue nodded, explaining the mission to Xiao Yun in detail, then said, "Although Jin Chenglong doesn’t return home often and Jin Chenghu moves with difficulty, you must be cautious. If they ever discover your true motive, they won’t let you off."

Thinking of Ji Qianqian, who nearly got caught and dissected before, Gu Ningyue felt a chill in her heart.

Xiao Yun solemnly responded, "Mm, I will be careful, Young Madam."

Gu Ningyue glanced at her, "Don’t be too tense."

Though that’s what was said, Xiao Yun was still a child who just graduated, not having faced much adversity.

Gu Ningyue offered some comfort, but seeing her not relax much, she gave up, "If you’re afraid, it’s not too late to give up now!"

Gu Ningyue genuinely meant it.

Even if Xiao Yun chose not to continue, she wouldn’t blame her.

Xiao Yun shook her head firmly, "No, Young Madam, I’m fine. I’m just a little nervous, but I’ll adjust soon!"

Gu Ningyue was curious, "Is it because of Ling Tianyou’s order? Actually..."

Xiao Yun shook her head again, "No, it’s not. Although I’m grateful to President Ling for giving me a job that supports me well, this task is something I want to do myself."

Gu Ningyue looked puzzled, "What’s the reason?"

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and smiled, "Probably influenced by movie scenes as a child! Besides, Young Madam, did you know? If not for my biological parents, I might have been a police officer by now."

Gu Ningyue was surprised, "What crime did your parents commit?"

Unlike the openness and freedom in U country, Z country’s current laws prevent children from pursuing judicial careers if their parents have a criminal record.

Looking at the bustling traffic ahead, Xiao Yun said, "To gather tuition for my brother’s schooling, they stole a lot of cables to sell and were caught, sentenced to three years."

Gu Ningyue was speechless, "..." Not to mention the act of stealing cables, how much can cables sell for? How many would you need to steal to gather enough tuition? It’s both bad and dumb!

Poor Xiao Yun, who never enjoyed family warmth, still bearing the burden of her parents!
