Chapter 620: Chapter 620: What Day Is It
Gu Ningyue drove all the way to the Ling Family’s old mansion with the cake and Jade Bracelet, and as soon as she got out of the car, someone came out to greet her, "Young Madam, you’re here! The master and madam aren’t home, only the second young madam is inside."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "I came to see Liu Liu, has Xuanxuan been sent to school?"
The servant replied, "No, the young master isn’t feeling well today, so he wasn’t sent there."
Gu Ningyue acknowledged, understanding that Ling Xuan was probably frightened by the scene last night, hence he felt unwell and couldn’t go to school.
Following the servant into the villa, as soon as she entered, she saw Liu Liu in the hall.
It was just one night apart, and Liu Liu looked much more haggard.
Gu Ningyue sighed, thinking if Ling Tianyou were gone someday, she probably wouldn’t be able to bear such a blow either!
"Liu Liu... I came to see you..." Gu Ningyue lifted the cake in her hand, "This is for Xuanxuan. Where’s Xuanxuan?"
Liu Liu sniffled, "I just coaxed him to sleep. He was a bit scared last night, and this morning he had a fever. After some trouble, he finally fell asleep."
"Did you get a doctor to see him?" Gu Ningyue stood awkwardly, unsure why, but she felt the atmosphere in the villa had dropped by more than one degree.
Liu Liu nodded, extending her hand to lead Gu Ningyue to the table, "He’s been checked, nothing serious. Please sit."
Gu Ningyue responded, and Liu Liu called a servant to put the cake in the fridge’s fresh layer, "Thank you for your trouble, let him eat when he wakes up!"
"Okay." Gu Ningyue sat opposite Liu Liu, looking at her, "Tianyou has arranged Tianze’s funeral, it’s in three days. You just need to attend, you don’t have to worry about anything else."
Liu Liu nodded, called a servant to prepare tea and then withdrew, looking at Gu Ningyue, "I don’t have the energy to do anything now. My mom was here this morning, she wanted to take Xuanxuan for a few days, until I’m in a better state, then bring him back. But... I refused."
Right now, Xuanxuan is her entire mental solace; only when she sees Xuanxuan can she find some relief from immense pain.
Xuanxuan is another form of Ling Tianze’s existence, at least in Liu Liu’s eyes.
If someone took Xuanxuan away from her at this time, it’s possible that the next to die would be her!
Gu Ningyue looked at Liu Liu, "Don’t overstrain yourself, your health is important. If you collapsed, what would Xuanxuan do in the future? Even for the sake of the child, you have to pull yourself together!"
Liu Liu nodded, suddenly choking up, "If it weren’t for the child, I wouldn’t want to live either..."
As she spoke, Liu Liu began to cry again.
Gu Ningyue suddenly felt at a loss. She was least skilled at comforting people. Now with a beauty in tears, she didn’t know what to do.
After a few seconds, Gu Ningyue pulled the chair over a bit, held Liu Liu’s shoulder and comforted her, "Cry... Maybe you’ll feel better after letting it out..."
Liu Liu, probably repressing for too long, with no child around and someone to vent to, didn’t hold back and cried to Gu Ningyue.
It was unclear how long she cried, but many tissues on the table got damp before Liu Liu finally stopped her tears.
Maybe she was exhausted from crying, or maybe there were no more tears to shed.
"Ning Yue... Thank you, thank you for coming to see me..."
Gu Ningyue looked at Liu Liu, "What’s there to thank for? Just be well."
Liu Liu shook her head, "No, I really want to thank you."
Hearing Liu Liu’s words, Gu Ningyue pushed the prepared gift box in front of Liu Liu, "This is for you. If you really want to thank me, you must accept it!"
Liu Liu seemed confused, with tearful eyes looking at Gu Ningyue, "This... What is this?"
Gu Ningyue said, "Open it and you’ll know."
Liu Liu reached out to open the package; inside the velvet gift box was a fine Jade Bracelet.
It goes without saying, this bracelet must be incredibly expensive.
"Ning Yue, what are you doing... I can’t accept this bracelet..."
Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "No, you must accept this bracelet..."
"It’s too valuable, I can’t take it!"
Though she said so, given the Liu Family’s wealth, such a bracelet wouldn’t be difficult to obtain.
Liu Liu didn’t want to accept it, just because she didn’t want anything for herself!
Gu Ningyue wasn’t surprised by this result, she had already anticipated it on her way here.
An hour later, when Gu Ningyue left the villa, Liu Liu personally saw her out, a bit different from when she arrived.
"Take care."
"You too, take good care of your health." Gu Ningyue nodded, "See you in three days."
Driving all the way back to the villa, Gu Ningyue sent a message to Ling Tianyou, "Liu Liu is settled, her attitude toward you should improve at the funeral in three days."
"Ding-dong—"
Ling Tianyou: "Really? How did you do it?"
Ling Tianyou didn’t expect Gu Ningyue to sort things out with Liu Liu so quickly; he had to admit he was curious about what method Gu Ningyue used.
Gu Ningyue saw Ling Tianyou’s message and replied, "Of course I have my ways, not telling you."
Although the method seemed a bit far-fetched, seeing Liu Liu’s expression, she knew she had succeeded, and as long as the method worked.
"Ding-dong—"
Ling Tianyou: "Have you seen Ji Qianqian?"
Gu Ningyue stretched lazily, "Not yet, I’m going to rest first and ask Lu Qingqing what’s happening over there before going."
"Ding-dong—"
Ling Tianyou: "Alright."
Gu Ningyue drank some juice sent over by Aunt Zhang and sent a WeChat message to Lu Qingqing, "Where are you now? I’ll go see Qianqian?"
"Ding-dong—"
Lu Qingqing: "Shopping for clothes with Qianqian, she doesn’t like her previous clothes, so we brought her out to shop. Do you want to come?"
Gu Ningyue checked the time, there was still plenty of time before Ling Tianyou finished work, so going out for a change of pace would be good.
After replying to Lu Qingqing and getting the address, Gu Ningyue drove away from the villa once more.
It seemed Shangguan Wuyue’s medicine really worked, as Ji Qianqian was recovering quickly! Now she could go shopping!
Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue arrived at the mall entrance.
After parking the car, Gu Ningyue was about to step towards the mall when she suddenly saw a woman, the kind one wouldn’t mistake even by her back, appear in her view.
She wore a beautiful mermaid skirt, and her striking figure was exceptionally eye-catching in the crowd.
Gu Ningyue felt a bit surprised, what day was it today? She actually met this young lady here?
