Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Where Did the News Come From
Gu Ningyue knew that Ling Tianze’s death had made it to the news, with various opinions in the comments below. But regardless of what was said, she was now caught in the eye of the storm and couldn’t help but scroll to the news page.
The reports above were all speculations about Ling Tianze’s death, with some even going as far as asking the police who arrested Bai Chengfan at the time.
However, perhaps no information was revealed from that side, so these media used their advantage of embellishing details to depict Ling Tianze’s death sensationally, as if they feared the world wasn’t chaotic enough!
Gu Ningyue flipped through for a while, and Zhang Shener came to her side: "Young Madam, President Ling is calling for you!"
"Coming."
Gu Ningyue put away her phone and turned to return to Ling Tianyou’s side with Aunt Zhang.
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "What happened? What did Shen Hanyin tell you?"
Gu Ningyue glanced at the phone Ling Tianyou placed on the table and slowly shook her head: "Nothing much, just some reports on the media about Tianze’s cause of death. It’s nothing, I don’t care."
Even if she didn’t say it, Ling Tianyou would know, wouldn’t he!
This matter can’t be hidden, it’s better to speak frankly.
Ling Tianyou’s brow furrowed again as he looked at Gu Ningyue: "I’ll handle this matter. These media probably don’t want to live anymore!"
He hadn’t unleashed his power in a long time, so did these people think he was dead?
Gu Ningyue knew that the consequences of Ling Tianyou’s anger were terrifying, though she really hoped he’d clear these rumors. But now was not the time to act recklessly: "Let them talk for now! I don’t care. But there’s one thing I’m curious about..."
Ling Tianyou asked, "You mean where they got the information?"
Gu Ningyue nodded slightly: "Sort of! Although that sanatorium is nationally renowned, it’s not without cases of suicide or escape. Why did the news spread so quickly this time?"
"Plus...where did these news media come from? I just took a quick look, and the cause-and-effect is written quite convincingly, some real, some fake. If I wasn’t the one involved, I’d want to side with them in getting myself killed!"
Listening to Gu Ningyue’s words, Ling Tianyou immediately reacted: "You mean someone not only bribed the media but also found professional writers to handle this?"
Gu Ningyue agreed: "There’s definitely a manipulator behind this. Otherwise, just relying on the skills of those paparazzi in A City, do you think they’d write such ’engaging’ reports? Not only in the news, but it might have also hit the headlines on Weibo, right?"
Ling Tianyou paused, picked up the phone, and opened Weibo.
As expected, the few articles about Ling Tianze’s suicidal jump greeted his eyes.
"Son of a wealthy businessman in A City jumps to his death after failing to quit drugs."
"Rich second-generation seduces others to take drugs."
"Ling Tianyou’s fiancée is actually..."
Just looking at these titles caused anguish, let alone clicking below to read the comments.
Seeing Ling Tianyou’s brow tighten, Gu Ningyue reached out to take the phone and also opened Weibo. She estimated there would be nothing good inside, otherwise Ling Tianyou wouldn’t have such an expression.
But it doesn’t matter, she never cared about outside comments. They’re just small matters, not a big problem!
Compared to life and death, these are just fleeting pains!
Oh no, even this fleeting pain is only for ordinary people. To her, she doesn’t care at all.
"Why does this Gu family’s daughter always stir up trouble?"
"What? Inciting her fiancé’s brother to take drugs? Could she be doing drugs too!"
"It’s shattering my three views. Why is Gu Ningyue in trouble again? Bad luck, huh?"
"Why did President Ling like her? Just because she’s pretty? Well, look at me!"
"Isn’t this the woman who was said to have mental illness? I don’t think she’s a good person! Just like her sister."
"Why isn’t anyone arresting her for a drug test? Her photos look odd too! Why is her expression so stiff!"
"..."
Gu Ningyue looked at these words and just sneered, locking the phone and placing it aside: "That’s all they’ve got!"
Ling Tianyou turned to ask Gu Ningyue: "You’re not angry?"
Gu Ningyue’s face remained calm: "Why should I be angry? Just a bunch of strangers. If we have to care about what strangers say, what’s the point of living?"
Ling Tianyou chuckled and said: "But these rumors can completely ruin your reputation!"
Gu Ningyue indifferently leaned on the sofa: "Ruin it then! Being ruined like this is actually not bad. I used to not even have one person who knew me. Now I can even hit the trending news, that’s quite the honor!"
Although a joke, Ling Tianyou still felt injustice for Gu Ningyue.
No, it’s not okay, Ning Yue absolutely cannot endure such grievances!
Gu Ningyue doesn’t care, but he does.
He already thought of a way to help Gu Ningyue turn things around, this time, he’s going to protect her well.
"By the way, don’t you have dinner plans with Lu Qingqing tonight? It’s almost time, right?" Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Go ahead!"
Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "You don’t need me here with you?"
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and shook his head: "No, go ahead! I want some time alone."
Gu Ningyue hesitated for a while: "Are you really okay?"
Being alone at times like these must be painful, right? Thinking about this, Gu Ningyue felt even more hesitant.
Ling Tianyou responded to Gu Ningyue: "Go ahead! It’s perfect to help me find out some things."
Gu Ningyue stared at Ling Tianyou silently for a few seconds and suddenly followed with a smile: "I know what you want to ask, I’ll try my best! Lu Qingqing might not say too much about that person. Don’t hold too much hope!"
Gu Ningyue had already started to understand Ling Tianyou and knew what he wanted.
Ling Tianyou nodded: "Thanks."
Just at that moment, Gu Ningyue’s phone rang at the right time.
Gu Ningyue looked at the caller ID, waved the phone at Ling Tianyou: "Speak of the devil, should I go now?"
Ling Tianyou responded: "Be safe, call if anything happens."
"Don’t worry! Anything happening can only be with someone else!" Gu Ningyue said to Ling Tianyou.
Pressing the answer button, Lu Qingqing’s familiar voice came through from the other end: "Still going out tonight? Otherwise, let’s reschedule?"
She too knew about the Ling family’s matters, in a situation like this, if it were her, she’d definitely stay by her loved one’s side without leaving.
She isn’t really a haughty lady, naturally understanding Gu Ningyue’s feelings at this moment.
Just then, Lu Qingqing heard Gu Ningyue say: "It’s fine, let’s find a place! I’ll drive to you."
