Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 487: Before the End of the Month

During this time, before Gu Ningyue returned to the country, Lu Qingqing did many absurd things to help Ji Qianqian with her treatment.

Fortunately, as she was still young and had always been very sensible before, several elders didn’t take it too seriously apart from being surprised.

Lu Qingqing nodded at these words, feeling like something was stuck in her heart, and said, "Dad, shall I go out now?"

Lu Zhiyan waved his hand, also feeling a bit upset, "Go out!"

Lu Qingqing turned around, pushed open the door, and left. Aunt Li saw her coming out, shook her head, and sighed, "Miss, is the master angry?"

Lu Qingqing responded, "Sigh... Qianqian can’t stay here any longer. I must find a safe place for her..."

Every time she thought about how Ji Qianqian was almost abducted last time, Lu Qingqing couldn’t help but feel unsettled.

Aunt Li stepped forward to comfort her, "Look on the bright side. Always staying home isn’t really a solution either. Finding a suitable place early would be good, after all, Miss, you can’t look after her forever. What would she do when you eventually marry someone?"

Lu Qingqing originally had no expression, but her face suddenly turned a bit pale at Aunt Li’s mention of ’marriage’: "We’ll talk about that later! I’m not married now, am I?"

Aunt Li nodded, watching Lu Qingqing go upstairs and did not say anything more.

In Ji Qianqian’s bedroom, she lay on the bed sleeping soundly, dreaming about something unknown. At times, her lips would curl into a smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The white silk robe made Ji Qianqian’s already pitiable and charming face look more endearing.

Lu Qingqing couldn’t help reaching out to touch the bright red tear mole on her face, her voice tinged with indescribable fondness, "Qianqian, when will you get better? If you don’t, I really don’t know how much longer I can protect you..."

When Ji Qianqian appeared to get better, Lu Qingqing accompanied her to collect the compensation.

Ji Qianqian deposited all the money in Lu Qingqing’s name. Even now, Lu Qingqing vividly remembers that moment.

She liked how Ji Qianqian depended on her, liked the look of trust in Ji Qianqian’s eyes when she looked at her.

No matter how much time passed, Lu Qingqing still felt that Ji Qianqian was a treasure bestowed upon her by the heavens.

After a while, Ji Qianqian seemed to have had enough sleep and drowsily opened her eyes to say to Lu Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, are you done with class?"

Lu Qingqing nodded, wiping the worry from her face and showing a hint of a smile, "Yes! Did you sleep well, Qianqian?"

Ji Qianqian slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Mm! Sister Qingqing, I want to go out and play..."

Staying in the villa every day feels so stifling! Especially that scary uncle, every time he looks at me, it’s terrifying!

Lu Qingqing smiled, "Alright! Where does Qingqing want to go play?"

Ji Qianqian looked at Lu Qingqing and said, "Can we go and see Sister Ning Yue? I haven’t seen her for a long time, I want to play with her!"

Lu Qingqing felt a bit upset inside, "But didn’t you just meet a few days ago? How is that a long time?"

Why is Ji Qianqian always thinking about Gu Ningyue ever since they met? It makes me mad!

Ji Qianqian carefully observed Lu Qingqing’s expression, "Sister, are you angry?"

Lu Qingqing awkwardly turned her head, "No."

Ji Qianqian got up and tugged on Lu Qingqing’s sleeve, "Sister, don’t be angry, I still like Sister Qingqing best!"

Lu Qingqing finally looked at her and asked, "Really?"

Ji Qianqian nodded vigorously, "Really, really! Sister Qingqing is the best! Please don’t be angry, okay?"

Lu Qingqing turned sideways, rubbing her long hair and said, "Then I’ll call your Sister Ning Yue to see if she’s available."

And also ask about how that matter is progressing...

Originally, she wasn’t in a hurry, but after today’s events, she started to feel a bit anxious.

She dialed Gu Ningyue’s number, and Gu Ningyue’s voice came through the screen, "Hello?"

Lu Qingqing said, "Qianqian wants to go to the amusement park. Do you have time now?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at her watch, "I do."

Since dinner plans weren’t until the evening, she’d be at home all afternoon anyway.

Just as well, she had some things she’d planned to discuss with Lu Qingqing.

"Shall we meet at the amusement park entrance?" Lu Qingqing asked.

Gu Ningyue responded readily, "Sure. I’ll change and meet you in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue stood up to change into something looser, and upon seeing the message from Xiao Yun five minutes ago, she smiled in relief.

She didn’t expect things to go so smoothly and even came across some useful information by chance.

It seemed that she could soon move forward with serious matters on the agenda.

Half an hour later, Gu Ningyue stood at the amusement park entrance, spotting the two beauties approaching from a distance.

In the sunlight, they were so beautiful it was almost like a scene from a fairy tale.

"Sister Ning Yue!" Ji Qianqian waved her hand, leaving Lu Qingqing’s grasp to leap into Gu Ningyue’s arms, "You’re here!"

Looking at Ji Qianqian’s radiant smile, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but feel her mood lift, "Yes! I’ve come to play with Qianqian. Are you happy?"

Although Lu Qingqing felt a bit jealous of Ji Qianqian’s closeness to Gu Ningyue, she was happy as long as Ji Qianqian was happy.

Moreover, Ji Qianqian was now just a child.

Gu Ningyue greeted Lu Qingqing and then turned to hand Ji Qianqian back to her before buying three tickets and returning to the two, "Let’s go!"

"Mm."

Since it was a weekday, there weren’t as many people at the amusement park as expected.

Ji Qianqian wanted to ride the roller coaster, and it took much persuasion from Gu Ningyue and Lu Qingqing to finally divert her attention to the carousel.

Lu Qingqing and Gu Ningyue stood outside the railings, looking like two parents watching over their child.

Watching Ji Qianqian wave to them now and then from the carousel, Gu Ningyue waved back, "You called me out today, not just to play with Qianqian, right?"

Lu Qingqing nodded, "Is there any progress on that matter?"

Gu Ningyue smiled and lowered her voice, "Before the end of the month, we should be able to make a move."

Lu Qingqing beamed with joy and turned to Gu Ningyue, asking, "Really?"

If that’s the case, maybe... everything still has a chance, and perhaps she wouldn’t need to go abroad after all.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "We’ve got some details on the Jin Family’s background. It’s not bigger than Ling Tianyou’s. Once Jin Chenglong’s movements are confirmed, we can take action."

Lu Qingqing asked Gu Ningyue, "At that time, will you need my help with anything?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "No, it’s enough if you step in when Jin Chenglong causes trouble."
