Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 458: Not the Same as Before

Fortunately, in the end Ling Tianyou didn’t plan to accompany Gu Ningyue; he just asked her the time she had arranged with Lu Qingqing, then said, "I’m not going, you girls have fun! Remember to come back early and stay safe."

Gu Ningyue was overjoyed and laughed, "You sound like an old dad!"

Yet... this feeling was nice, she enjoyed having someone care about her life.

Unlike before, when apart from her master, no one cared about when she went out or came back.

Ling Tianyou glanced at her lightly, "Is that so?"

Being caught by his glance, Gu Ningyue immediately lowered her head. Devil! She was just joking, why scare her like that!

Seeing her adorable demeanor, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but curl his lips, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, and placed it in Gu Ningyue’s bowl, "Eat well, and rest upstairs in a bit, it’s almost one o’clock."

Gu Ningyue nodded, and after finishing her bowl, she put down her utensils and prepared to head upstairs, "Are you really going to see that doctor with me this afternoon?"

Ling Tianyou held the water glass beside him, "When have I ever gone back on my word?"

"Okay," Gu Ningyue replied, "Then I’m going up, Aunt Zhang, wake me at two o’clock, alright?"

"Alright, Young Madam," Aunt Zhang agreed and continued tidying up the leftovers on the table.

Gu Ningyue stretched and went upstairs for her nap, Aunt Zhang watched the closed door and said to Ling Tianyou, "The Young Madam seems a lot more lively than before, and braver too, which is really good."

Ling Tianyou was slightly taken aback, "Wasn’t she always like this before?"

Since the day she first came to him, she had already started plotting, using him as a shield.

Her courage seemed to have always been quite big.

Aunt Zhang shook her head, "Young Madam was always talked about by outsiders, how could a young girl of this age seem so indifferent? When you weren’t home, she often sat alone on the sofa watching TV without saying a word. Ever since coming back from U-country, she’s been different from before."

Aunt Zhang clearly misunderstood Gu Ningyue; her silence wasn’t due to inner depression or inferiority, but rather her inherent personality.

Moreover, at that time, Gu Ningyue was in Ling Tianyou’s villa, not her own home; she didn’t intend to know anyone there.

Ling Tianyou didn’t respond but just reminded Aunt Zhang to take good care of Gu Ningyue while at home, and fulfill any of her needs.

Aunt Zhang agreed, at her age she too understood some of the current external situations.

Gu Ningyue wasn’t mentally ill; she had been set up by others to appear as she did before.

This girl, herself, was also quite a pitiful person.

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared, Gu Ningyue had also presented evidence showing her mental state was normal and that there was no family history of mental illness, which even gave relief to the servant who looked after her all along.

Prior to this, Aunt Zhang was quite worried that Gu Ningyue might one day become crazy and harm herself.

After all, a mad person killing didn’t incur any penalty.

At this moment, Gu Ningyue in the room was unaware of everything happening downstairs and was simply tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

Her email was empty, Lin Ruixian still hadn’t sent her any messages.

And Su Heng, ever since she sent him that question, hadn’t shown up again, as if he vanished.

What’s the deal with this person?

Right now, Gu Ningyue wasn’t aware that a huge net was slowly closing in on her, and danger had already begun to show signs.

Gu Ningyue sent another question mark to Su Heng, hoping to get a direct reply from him.

After waiting several minutes, just when she was about to give up, Su Heng suddenly replied to her message.

"Dingdong—"

Gu Ningyue had never felt such an allure in this notification tone as she did at this moment, she practically swiped the screen open in a second to view the WeChat interface.

Su Heng: "Miss Gu isn’t aware that Miss Chen already loathes you to the core, is she?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback. She knew Chen Rui didn’t like her, but saying she loathed her was unnecessary!

Chen Rui didn’t seem like such an irrational person.

Gu Ningyue repeatedly typed and deleted in the chatbox, but ultimately only sent, "Why is Mr. Su suddenly interested in my matters with Chen Rui?"

Could it be that work has been slow recently, no schedules to handle?

"Dingdong—"

Su Heng: "Not so much interested, it’s just that Miss Chen and Miss Gu are equally well-known, making it hard not to notice. I suggest Miss Gu check the recent news about Miss Chen online, especially on A City’s local forums, it might be helpful to Miss Gu! That’s all I can say, best of luck, Miss Gu!"

Gu Ningyue furrowed her lovely brows slightly as she read Su Heng’s message.

What does this person want?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue first typed Chen Rui’s name into her browser and then clicked a full network search.

Soon, the page loaded.

The item at the top made Gu Ningyue’s eyes widen: Ling Tianyou confessed to Chen Rui and got rejected; video leaked, causing a sensation in A City?

When did this happen? How did she not hear a thing about it?

Gu Ningyue didn’t notice her hands trembling slightly, failing every time she tried to click the arrow,

In the video, Ling Tianyou still looked like a fresh young man, wearing a T-shirt and standing under twilight’s glow, emotively singing a love song she’d never heard before.

Not far away, Chen Rui sat in a beautiful princess dress, looking as lovely as a princess overlooking everything, possessing more beauty in the world than could be deserved.

After finishing the song, Ling Tianyou fixed his eyes on Chen Rui, "Now, can you go back with me?"

But Chen Rui just smiled faintly, said ’sorry’ softly, and turned away gracefully.

The stage light extinguished at some point, leaving Ling Tianyou standing alone up there, his face unreadable.

But just looking, Ling Tianyou seemed pitiful.

The video’s quality wasn’t very clear, indicating it was quite dated.

Checking the date, it was from five years ago, and Gu Ningyue breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then, another question arose in her mind: Why was this video dug up?

When she previously researched Chen Rui and Ling Tianyou’s past, she hadn’t found this video!
