Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 508: A Rare Perfect Score

Actually, you can’t really blame Shen Hanyin for being curious. After all, since Gu Ningyue started living with Ling Tianyou the day of the birthday party, they haven’t taken that step. Shen Hanyin’s curiosity was immediately piqued by what Gu Ningyue said, leading her to ask a few more questions.

After chatting with Shen Hanyin for a bit longer, Gu Ningyue hung up the call and began her lunch.

Not long after, a message suddenly popped up on her phone: "If you’re free tomorrow, let’s have a meal together! If President Ling is available, he can join us too."

Looking at the WeChat message from Lu Qingqing, Gu Ningyue sent a ’Sure’ and put her phone aside.

In just a few hours, she was going to the place where she and Kai Qi had agreed to meet. She wondered if Kai Qi had changed much.

The last time she saw him in the newspaper, he wasn’t half as impressive as in person.

Perhaps, on the path of pursuing the footsteps of his mentor, he had been struggling greatly too!

But it’s a relief; who told him to upset his mentor? A little hardship is deserved.

And judging by how the mentor avoided him, it probably wasn’t a small matter either.

If there’s a chance in the future, maybe she could gossip with the mentor about it.

After lunch, Gu Ningyue stretched and helped Aunt Zhang take the dishes to the kitchen.

Aunt Zhang watched Gu Ningyue’s skilled dishwashing with an inexplicable feeling of awkwardness in her heart.

The eldest daughter of the Gu Family doing housework without any unfamiliarity—one can only imagine the life she had at home.

Such a beautiful girl, not only harmed into her previous state but also having to find ways to save herself. Poor thing, truly pitiful!

"Young Madam, let me do it! How can we let you handle this work?" Saying this, Aunt Zhang took the dishes from Gu Ningyue’s hands.

"It’s fine, I used to do this all the time." Gu Ningyue shook the water off her hands. She had done this work a lot before and didn’t think her changed status now made a difference. "Xiao Yun isn’t back yet, and such a big house just has Aunt Zhang to clean it; it must be so tiring! I’m idle anyway, it’s nothing!"

However, Aunt Zhang still shook her head firmly: "Even so, you are the Young Madam. If President Ling comes back and sees this, we’d be punished."

Gu Ningyue found it a bit funny: "Is Tianyou usually very strict with the people in the villa?"

He seemed so gentle!

Aunt Zhang, while washing dishes, said to Gu Ningyue standing next to her, "Before you came, Young Madam, he was very strict. It was only after you appeared that President Ling started to change."

Gu Ningyue was intrigued by what Aunt Zhang said: "Oh? How did he change?"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "At first, we didn’t notice much. It was once when you, Young Madam, weren’t here, and President Ling asked us to do something, but we didn’t do it right. We expected to be punished, but surprisingly, President Ling didn’t say anything and just had us correct it. Only a few minutes later, you came back, Young Madam. I guess President Ling was concerned about you, willing to spare us for fear you might not want to see us upset."

This was the first time anyone saw Ling Tianyou act this way for someone else, considering one’s mood is far harder than taking care of someone.

Gu Ningyue grew curious: "The time I was in the U.S., how was Tianyou at home? Did he lose his temper?"

This last question was more for her own reassurance, as she could already imagine how furious Ling Tianyou must have been during that time.

Aunt Zhang recalled those days, a chill running down her back: "During that time, the whole villa felt gloomy. President Ling was very angry, didn’t say a word when he came home, and just sat there brooding. Thinking back, you shouldn’t do that again, Young Madam!"

Gu Ningyue laughed: "I won’t."

Thinking about how Ling Tianyou looked when he was angry, Gu Ningyue oddly found it a bit endearing.

Perhaps because it was all in the past now! Otherwise, it would just feel troublesome.

But luckily, the misunderstanding had been cleared, and such things would never happen between her and Ling Tianyou again.

Gu Ningyue thought about this, a hint of hope appearing in her eyes.

She really wished for these matters to conclude soon, so she could lead the life she desired...

"Young Madam..." Aunt Zhang finished washing the dishes, looking at Gu Ningyue with hesitation.

Gu Ningyue paused slightly: "What’s wrong, Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue, her words lingering: "Is Xiao Yun doing well over there?"

Gu Ningyue paused and thought: "Hmm, she’ll be back in the next day or two."

Aunt Zhang nodded and said to Gu Ningyue: "That kid Xiao Yun is good-hearted, but she’s a bit unfortunate, sigh..."

Gu Ningyue smiled gently: "Well, life is bittersweet. Moreover, I think for Xiao Yun, the days ahead won’t be too hard." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Aunt Zhang acknowledged: "That child is very hardworking."

For this, she could testify.

Since the day they arrived at the villa, Xiao Yun seemed to have thrown away all the honors in school, working on odd jobs with her.

For a proud young girl who has just graduated, this was already quite commendable.

After all, who hasn’t had a time of youthful arrogance and lofty ambitions?

But Xiao Yun, never had, not even a hint of such emotions.

At this moment, Man Qianshan suddenly called: "Is the mentor at home? I have a day off today! Can I come over to play with you?"

A youthful and bright voice, different from the people Gu Ningyue had dealt with before.

It was an untainted voice, just hearing it made people feel better.

"Not today, I’m busy today." Gu Ningyue spoke into the phone: "Did you study what I asked you before?"

On the day of parting, Gu Ningyue had assigned tasks to Man Qianshan.

Although the intensity wasn’t as high as what her mentor had set for her, it was still somewhat challenging for Man Qianshan.

"Hmm... There are many parts I don’t understand. Mentor, could you teach me in person?" Man Qianshan pleaded.

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a few seconds: "Maybe in a while! I’ve been very busy these days."

The previously cheerful voice of Man Qianshan immediately dimmed: "Alright! But mentor, you must let me know when you’re free! I’m always on standby!"

Gu Ningyue agreed and then hung up the call.

Reflecting on the strictness of her own mentor, Gu Ningyue deeply felt that even though she didn’t manage Man Qianshan closely, she was still a good mentor to her.

At least, she never forced Man Qianshan to kneel in the snow to memorize those incomprehensible medical books, which was already quite good.
