CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: WHAT A PITY

Ji Qianqian seems very afraid of strangers. Ever since Ling Tianze and Liu Liu came in, her body has been leaning towards Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue pats Ji Qianqian’s back with one hand, "Qianqian, don’t be scared. They are not bad people."

Ji Qianqian turns her head cautiously, looking at the two: "Sister, Qianqian wants to go home."

Gu Ningyue looks at Ling Tianyou. Ling Tianyou seems to have other plans. After learning that Ji Qianqian is the person Lu Qingqing is looking for, he doesn’t call Lu Qingqing.

"Good girl, Qianqian. Sister will take you home later." Gu Ningyue sighs, "This child is so pitiful."

Even if her parents are deceased, just based on her looks, there might be plenty of ambitious young men willing to smooth the path for her.

It’s a pity. If only she were a normal person.

But Ji Qianqian blinks, seemingly not feeling pitiable at all.

"Oh, right." Ling Tianze suddenly says, "Mom said that once Sister-in-law’s wounds heal, you should take her back for dinner!"

Ling Tianyou glances at him, "Dad doesn’t mind anymore?"

Ling Tianze nods, "After you all left last time, Mom worked on Dad’s thoughts for several days. I guess he’s come around now!"

Though the process of coming around was a bit rough.

"I see." Ling Tianyou thinks for a moment, "Let’s go back at the end of the month. She needs to recuperate after being discharged."

Ling Tianze nods and, after talking for a while, leaves with Liu Liu.

As soon as they leave, Gu Ningyue immediately looks at Ling Tianyou and asks, "What are you planning to do about Ji Qianqian? Aren’t you going to call Lu Qingqing?"

Ling Tianyou, holding his phone, is unsure of what to do but says firmly, "No, I’ll call tomorrow. That nurse is just a spy planted in the hospital. Having Lu Qingqing come over now might alert the enemy."

Gu Ningyue asks, "What about the people behind her?"

"It’s hard to say. I’ve had someone continue to investigate. It seems to be a small official," Ling Tianyou frowns, "They specialize in finding some homeless people or those with mental disabilities, with no family, either selling them to Southeast Asia or harvesting their organs for the black market. Doing this kind of business, it’s questionable how that official got their position."

"So, does Ji Qianqian still have to stay in this hospital for a day?" Gu Ningyue reaches out to touch Ji Qianqian’s hair, seemingly not finding anything frightening about what Ling Tianyou said, "She should wash her hair and change her clothes."

Ling Tianyou sends his assistant out to buy clothes, then looks curiously at Gu Ningyue and asks, "Aren’t you afraid of what’s happening?"

Gu Ningyue quickly shakes her head, "There’s nothing to be afraid of; it’s a law-governed society now."

Most importantly, she is not alone now.

Ling Tianyou seemingly sees through her little thoughts, "It’s because I’m behind you that you’re not scared, right!"

Gu Ningyue responds, "Yes! With you around, unless they don’t want to live anymore, no one would dare to mess with me!"

If someone dares to offend Master Ling, they probably won’t see the next sunrise.

The clock points to twelve; Gu Ningyue puts her phone aside, "It’s noon, time for the injection."

Ling Tianyou nods, "In a while, that little nurse will come again."

Gu Ningyue shows some surprise, "Are you sure you still want her to come?"

Ling Tianyou raises an eyebrow, "If I replace her, would you be satisfied?"

Gu Ningyue smiles, "You know me."

A few minutes later, the little nurse who came before approaches with a tray.

Ji Qianqian shrinks aside, while the assistant carefully soothes her emotions.

After administering the injection, Gu Ningyue looks at her and says, "You haven’t graduated from university for long, have you? Your skin is really good."

The little nurse pauses and then looks at her, "No, I’ve been working for several years now."

Gu Ningyue feigns surprise, "Really? You look like you’re just in your early twenties!"

Being complimented is a delightful thing, and the little nurse beams, "No, I even have a three-year-old child."

Gu Ningyue replies, "Then your salary in this hospital must be quite high!"

The little nurse glances at this VIP ward and says, "Oh, not at all! Just making ends meet."

While talking, she looks at the pendant on Gu Ningyue’s neck and says, "Miss Gu, this necklace is really beautiful. It must be expensive!"

Gu Ningyue smiles and says, "Not really! Quite cheap. Just tens of thousands!"

The little nurse looks envious, "Miss Gu is really fortunate."

Everyone in City A knows that Ling Tianyou, Master Ling, is both handsome and rich. Anyone who could marry Ling Tianyou is really blessed from a past life.

Gu Ningyue jokes, "You can switch to my husband’s company. Their benefits are great, and you can quickly buy what you want."

The little nurse shyly glances at Ling Tianyou, "No, no. The current situation is good."

Even the mentally unstable daughter of the Gu Family could get married so well! Truly lucky!

"In today’s society, you can’t do anything without money." Gu Ningyue pretends to be profound, "The saying ’money makes the world go round’ is really true."

Ling Tianyou leans against the bed, looking at the book in his hand, without even raising his head, seemingly not hearing the conversation between the two.

After a while, the little nurse leaves with the tray, her gaze unconsciously lingering on Ji Qianqian, full of investigation and calculation.

After closing the door, Gu Ningyue can’t help but say, "Looks like she’s also money-hungry."

Ling Tianyou, still absorbed in his book, replies nonchalantly, "Yeah! Even more money-hungry than you."

Gu Ningyue looks at the ceiling, lost in thought, her voice somewhat distant, "Though I’m greedy for money, I’ve never done anything that goes against conscience."

Ling Tianyou glances at her, "When you get the money your mother left you, maybe you won’t be so greedy."

Gu Ningyue is startled—oh, right! She almost forgot; she still has a billion!

But suddenly, she is puzzled. If her mother had so much money, why did her irresponsible father treat her and her mother so poorly?

Shouldn’t he be providing for them in every way at such times?

The original owner’s early memories are somewhat vague. Aside from some deeply painful memories, Gu Ningyue can recall very little.

Gu Ningyue looks at him and says, "Yes! When that time comes, if you don’t treat me well, I’ll leave immediately."

Ling Tianyou doesn’t speak. Leave? She must be dreaming.

After finishing the IV drip, three hours have passed.

The assistant had long since bought clothes but couldn’t help Ji Qianqian change because she was a girl.

After the needle was removed, Gu Ningyue got up to the bathroom to help Ji Qianqian change clothes, and together with the assistant, also washed her hair.

Looking at the clean Ji Qianqian, Gu Ningyue couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her face, "So beautiful..."

Ling Tianyou suddenly closes the book in his hand, "I heard that she became like this due to a shock."
