Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Can’t Wait
In Gu Ningyue’s bedroom, Gu Ningyue sat at the bedside, opening the combination box she had brought back from the Gu Family in front of Ling Tianyou: "The matter about the will has fallen into place. Look what I found!"
Gu Ningyue handed another will found in the box to Ling Tianyou, "I always thought the original owner’s mother insisted I have a son before she would let it go. Didn’t expect another will. Not bad, right!"
Ling Tianyou looked at the clauses spelled out in the will, and a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth: "Indeed, very good!"
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "There’s also this, which I still couldn’t understand."
The note used to blackmail Gu Zheng was handed to Ling Tianyou. Gu Ningyue placed the read will back into the combination box: "My dad always said that matters from decades ago were resolved already, resolved from before? But... why does Li Yulan seem like it’s not as my dad said?"
Others might not have noticed, but Gu Ningyue clearly saw a hint of understated panic in Gu Zheng’s eyes.
What on earth did this man do to Miss Sun?
"It seems Gu Zheng has an unknown past." Ling Tianyou glanced at the handwriting on the note and chuckled, "No rush, I’ll make a call!"
Saying this, Ling Tianyou took out his phone and dialed a number: "Help me investigate someone, a woman, surname Sun, Miss of the Sun Family! Now... should be no longer in this world, get back to me soon!"
"Okay, that’s it!"
After hanging up, Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Alright, I’ve made a call to have this Miss Sun investigated. There should be results soon!"
Gu Ningyue nodded: "Do you think after today, Li Yulan will go to Xiang Bei for support?"
Since Gu Zheng no longer wants her, Li Yulan, a woman who has depended on men her whole life, should probably go to Xiang Bei!
Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue and said: "She will go, but who knows if Xiang Bei will let her rely on him! A woman who has no value, someone as cunning as Xiang Bei wouldn’t let her off!"
Gu Ningyue smiled: "Should we lend her a hand? I’ve heard... Li Yulan and Xiang Bei’s wife have always had grievances. One looks down on the other for coming from a humble background, unworthy of Xiang Bei. And the other looks down on her for relying on men, using despicable methods to be a mistress. On the surface they’re amicable, but secretly they hate each other to death! If these two meet, there might be an interesting show to watch!"
Xiang Bei’s wife is definitely not as gentle and composed as rumored. At least not from what I’ve seen.
Li Yulan’s persona already collapsed long ago. If she meets Xiang Bei’s wife again, she might be even more shameless.
This is sure to be an exciting show, more thrilling than the one today. Just thinking about it makes Gu Ningyue impatient!
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Even I didn’t know about this, who did you hear it from? Seems like you have wider sources than me, Ning Yue!"
Even though Ling Tianyou said this, his tone was mostly teasing!
Gu Ningyue, of course, understood Ling Tianyou’s meaning and only laughed as she looked at him: "Jealous? If you are, why don’t you ask me, and we can share resources?"
Ling Tianyou faintly smiled upon hearing this: "No need, if you don’t want to say, keep it to yourself! If I want to know something, I’ll investigate it myself!"
Gu Ningyue said nothing and simply organized everything she brought back, carefully placed it in the gap under her desk: "What do you say? Should we arrange for these two to meet?"
Judging from the current circumstances, the meeting between these two is bound to be interesting.
Thinking about this, a smile involuntarily surfaced at the corner of Gu Ningyue’s mouth.
She already started feeling impatient, impatient to arrange for Li Yulan to meet Xiang Bei’s wife.
"Certainly!" Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Do whatever you want!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, stood up to stretch, and said to Ling Tianyou: "It’s getting late, I want to sleep, you should go back and rest early too! Wait... why are you taking something to my restroom?"
Ling Tianyou turned his head, showing an outrageously handsome smile to Gu Ningyue: "I want to sleep with you, can’t I?"
Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned and before she could say anything, the restroom door was already closed!
"You..."
A few minutes passed, Gu Ningyue heard the sounds of the shower, got up, and fetched the nightgown she planned to wear.
Forget it, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, Ling Tianyou definitely just doesn’t want to be alone, that’s why!
Then... just indulge him once more!
Anyway, soon she’ll be engaged to Ling Tianyou, as long as he’s not overly presumptuous, if he wants to stay here, let him stay!
Most importantly, Ling Tianyou’s embrace is indeed very warm...
After about ten minutes, Ling Tianyou walked out, drying his hair.
The weariness on his face dissipated a bit, but he still looked pitiful.
Gu Ningyue had already changed into her pajamas, sitting at the dressing table waiting for him: "Are you done?"
Gu Ningyue turned her head and glanced at Ling Tianyou, asking casually.
Ling Tianyou nodded, looking at Gu Ningyue said: "Do you want to go now?"
"Yes, it’s late, and I’m somewhat tired!" Gu Ningyue replied, picking up her stuff and walking into the restroom.
Watching Gu Ningyue’s back, an untraceable emotion flashed through Ling Tianyou’s eyes.
Originally, he thought Gu Ningyue might refuse him, and he would need some effort, but now he found, Gu Ningyue was seemingly caring for his emotions subtly.
Ling Tianyou sat on the bed, truly never expected, the prominent Master Ling would one day need a woman to care for his already injured emotions.
He dared not imagine if Gu Ningyue weren’t here, what situation he would face after losing his brother?
Thinking about it, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt fortunate, thankful he still had Gu Ningyue by his side.
With that thought, Ling Tianyou lifted the quilt and lay down.
Having watched such a show today, even as an outsider Ling Tianyou felt quite exhausted.
Wondering what exactly Gu Ningyue, as the protagonist of this drama, felt at that moment?
Initially, Ling Tianyou never believed in karmic cycles, but after seeing Gu Ningyue easily get things Li Yulan could never obtain in this lifetime, he inexplicably started to believe a bit.
Perhaps the world is indeed like this, with some losing and others winning.
Some lose, while others gain.
That saying is quite accurate, thirty years east, thirty years west, fortunes alternate!
