Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 520: It’s Still Important to Have Dreams

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: It’s Still Important to Have Dreams

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou’s face; heaven truly favored him greatly. Wherever Ling Tianyou was, everyone else seemed to be mere defects in comparison.

And she, from a certain perspective, was like heaven’s personally chosen lucky one.

After all, having such a wealthy, handsome, and capable person as a boyfriend was something everyone dreamed of but couldn’t obtain.

But sometimes, Gu Ningyue still had fleeting moments of bewilderment.

How long could she be with Ling Tianyou? Would there be a day when her soul, under certain circumstances, would leave this mortal body?

What should she do then?

Thinking of this, a chill surged through Gu Ningyue’s body.

After taking a sip of the white wine already poured on the table, Gu Ningyue regained a bit of composure: "Let’s not talk about these depressing things, let’s talk about something interesting instead!"

The current atmosphere was a bit stifling, so Gu Ningyue changed the topic: "How’s Jin Chenglong’s son doing at your place? Today is the first day for that bruised-faced security guard at work, did he cause you any trouble?"

She didn’t believe that Ling Tianyou would simply let him be after assigning him as a security guard, there must be people secretly watching him.

Judging from Jin Chenglong’s son’s posture at the time, looking quite defiant, it was likely that once he found a loophole, he would retaliate in Ling Tianyou’s territory.

Although it wouldn’t cause any real harm, the annoyance of dealing with a toad was unpredictable — who knew what disgusting thing he might do?

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "It’s fine, he dared to cause trouble on his first day. His little life might end today; he’s not that stupid."

Hearing this, Gu Ningyue was somewhat curious: "Jin Chenglong seems very smart! How did he end up with such a son?"

Compared to Jin Chenglong, Jin Xiaobao seemed like a stray, having inherited none of Jin Chenglong’s good qualities, just like a rogue and scoundrel.

Ling Tianyou ate a spoonful of rice and dishes; even with this spicy food, he maintained a very elegant demeanor.

Unlike Gu Ningyue, who occasionally fanned herself with her hand.

"Jin Chenglong’s son has always been raised in the countryside, and after graduating from high school, hasn’t pursued further studies. Jin Chenglong, besides giving him some money, seldom visited him. But this year, for some unknown reason, Jin Chenglong suddenly brought this son back to his side, which indeed surprised him."

Gu Ningyue, while eating, said: "Maybe he’s getting old and wants to cultivate a successor!"

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Perhaps! But to start cultivating now, he’s already many steps too late."

Gu Ningyue faintly smiled, looked at Ling Tianyou, and said softly: "If Jin Chenglong’s son inherits the family business, all Jin Chenglong’s years of effort could be utterly lost. Judging from how Jin Xiaobao rallied his friends and comrades, in less than five years, depleting the family wealth would be considered fortunate. Debt, that’s the most terrifying."

At that point, with Jin Chenglong gone, who would protect such a troublemaker?

Most importantly, this troublemaker lacked any discernment.

If he wasn’t beaten to death on the streets, it’d be sheer luck!

"Indeed!" Ling Tianyou agreed with Gu Ningyue’s words: "Jin Xiaobao acts arrogantly outside by relying on Jin Chenglong, and even if Jin Chenglong wanted to control him, he probably couldn’t. With such a son, it’d be better to leave all the family wealth to his polio-affected younger brother."

Speaking of Jin Chenghu, Gu Ningyue became somewhat curious: "Jin Chenghu seems very smart; it’s just a pity about his health. Do you think, if he were healthy, would there have been no room for Jin Chenglong in this family?"

Ling Tianyou answered definitively: "Of course, Jin Chenglong’s mother dotes on her youngest son greatly; even after Jin Chenglong’s wife gave birth to a grandchild for the Jin Family, she hasn’t gone back to see her daughter-in-law, only sending some money."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "Luckily his health is poor, or else with such favoritism, wouldn’t Jin Chenglong be driven to madness?"

There’s nothing more bitter yet unspeakable than a mother’s bias.

"Probably not!" From a young age, Jin Chenglong took great care of his younger brother. Once, when there was a fire at home, he carried his brother out. If he really hated him, he wouldn’t spend the time and money to visit him weekly."

Gu Ningyue was skeptical, "Many times, we can’t ascertain someone’s true nature from a single event. Perhaps their initial relationship was good, but as accumulated conflicts grew, Jin Chenglong might have long regretted saving his brother from that fire."

Recalling the voice she heard today, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but make a bold guess: "It’s possible that the one calling for help in the fire tonight was Jin Chenglong’s brother."

Ling Tianyou was momentarily stunned: "If that’s the case, why was Jin Chenglong’s mother not there?"

Gu Ningyue raised an eyebrow and gave Ling Tianyou a deep look: "How do you know she wasn’t? What if...what if Jin Chenglong’s mother was also there?"

This possibility cannot be ruled out entirely.

Though right now, it’s just a joke.

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "Alright, don’t look at me like that, I was just speaking off the cuff, why so serious! You must believe, there’s genuine emotion in the human world. Consider it my cynicism!"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "No, I’m just wondering, how much have you experienced for you to have such thoughts?"

Surely, surely it must be very painful, right? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gu Ningyue gazed at Ling Tianyou, thought for a moment, and said to him: "A lot! Brothers falling out over inheritance, married couples hiring killers over money, even two sisters falling for the same man and plotting against each other. There’s too much, and these emotions, in the beginning, weren’t they beautiful? At least they appeared beautiful at first."

She believed in love but not in human nature.

If there’s anything in this world that can’t withstand the test, it’s human nature.

Because she had seen too much, she no longer held expectations for these indefinite beauties.

"But some people’s personalities are more relaxed, having experienced many details earlier. It’s just a matter of whether the other party notices." Ling Tianyou still seemed a bit idealistic about this: "I still believe that truly beautiful things in this world will never change."

Gu Ningyue did not object to this; it wasn’t a bad thing.

She didn’t want Ling Tianyou to become as ruthless and heartless as she was.

People, after all, should have some beautiful dreams.

What if, she says, what if, one day, this dream comes true!

In this regard, she also had her expectations.
