CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63: UNCLE IS A SCOUNDREL

Stimulated?

Gu Ningyue looked bewildered at Ji Qianqian, what kind of stimulus could make an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl’s intelligence drop to that of a five or six-year-old?

In her past life, she had seen cases that either ended in death or madness, but never such a severe intellectual decline.

Ling Tianyou said leisurely, "After her parents died, Ji Qianqian lived alone for a while. During that time, without Lu Qingqing’s care, she had to deal with the mess left by her parents, and she was reportedly in a very bad state. Her parents’ company went bankrupt, and they chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building, leaving her alone to be chased for debts. If it wasn’t for Lu Qingqing appearing, who knows where she might be now."

Gu Ningyue touched Ji Qianqian’s head, "At the age when one should be in school, I would be in pain too. However, to become like this, that’s impossible."

The company went bankrupt, the young lady turned into a beggar, and the parents left her behind by committing suicide.

If this happened to anyone, no one could bear it.

Ling Tianyou’s phone rang at that moment, and he answered, "Any news? Hmm, okay. Just keep an eye on them for a while."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue asked strangely, "What’s going on? You’re having someone do surveillance?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "The people who previously attacked you and Chi Xingtong, I have asked someone to keep an eye on them for a while. They seem to have other motives."

It was not just about targeting Chi Xingtong; if that were the case, they wouldn’t still be roaming around here after being bailed out of the police station.

What is it for?

Gu Ningyue slightly frowned, becoming even more curious about the person Ling Tianyou mentioned.

What kind of person would go to such lengths, and for what purpose?

Ling Tianyou looked at how Gu Ningyue cared for Ji Qianqian, "If you’re very concerned about her condition, I can find a doctor specializing in this field to examine her."

Gu Ningyue thought for a while and shook her head, "No need; since Lu Qingqing cares so much for her, I’m sure she has already found countless doctors for her."

Despite feeling sorry for the girl’s predicament, it’s not appropriate to interfere and do useless work.

Ling Tianyou didn’t insist, yet there was something he hadn’t told Gu Ningyue about Ji Qianqian.

Even though Ji Qianqian’s parents’ company went bankrupt, they left behind a high-value insurance policy for her.

Upon their death, the policy naturally named Ji Qianqian as the beneficiary.

But there are still six months before she can receive this insurance.

Lu Qingqing found countless doctors for Ji Qianqian, whether it was for that huge insurance or for Lu Qingqing herself is hard to tell.

The darkest aspect in this world might just be human nature.

As the sun was setting, Ji Qianqian, feeling bored in the ward, clamored to go out and play,

Gu Ningyue didn’t insist, hoping Ling Tianyou would take her out for a walk.

However, Ji Qianqian was very resistant, insisting that Gu Ningyue accompany her, leaving Ning Yue no choice but to drag Ling Tianyou along, and the three of them went downstairs together.

The environment outside the hospital was very pleasant, free from the silence and desolation of other hospitals, full of birdsong and scents, a place that might just seem like a retirement home to an outsider.

After a while, Ling Tianyou pointed to a pavilion in the distance and said, "Let’s go sit over there! It’s too noisy here."

Gu Ningyue nodded, holding Ji Qianqian’s hand, "Do you want to go play over there?"

Ji Qianqian responded, "Okay!"

On the way, quite a few people cast envious looks at the three; the man was handsome, the women were beautiful.

Walking side by side, they practically became a stunning scene in this hospital.

As their figures went afar, two shadows leaning against a tree were smoking while saying:

"Is that Ji Qianqian you mentioned? Such a good catch, and you didn’t get her?"

"Yes! If it hadn’t been for her sudden appearance that night, I’d already have had her! Damn it!"

"Today, try to get Ji Qianqian out, her intelligence makes it easy to deal with her."

"Come on! Master Ling and Gu Ningyue are watching her so closely, what can you do?"

"I heard Ji Qianqian particularly likes cats, I’ll go get one in a bit."

"What’s the use? They live on the VIP floor, we can’t get up there."

"No one’s watching, what are you afraid of, just two nurses on night shift, keep an eye out tonight and you’ll be fine!"

"Alright. But that’s Master Ling, you better not screw up, offending him means no one can protect you."

"Even if it’s Master Ling, so what, I don’t believe he can be more powerful than..."

In the pavilion, Gu Ningyue turned back, looking at the two figures disappearing at the door, smiled slightly, "Daring enough to come again?"

Ling Tianyou asked, "The people who attacked earlier? They came to the hospital?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, it’s the people who tried to take Ji Qianqian away before."

Ling Tianyou furrowed his brows, called his assistant, and asked to immediately have someone follow these two.

"Since being with you, my activities suddenly became numerous," Ling Tianyou said, pinching her cheek, "What to do? Shouldn’t you compensate me a bit?"

"Old couple yet you still want compensation?" Gu Ningyue raised an eyebrow, a seductive smile appearing on her face, "Besides, I’m hospitalized, to protect your friend, right? You should compensate me."

Ling Tianyou chuckled softly, "You’re the one speaking so well; I didn’t ask you to protect Xing Tong, you acted on your own!"

Gu Ningyue pouted, "You don’t feel sorry for me at all."

Ling Tianyou hugged her waist and stole a kiss from her lips, "When you’re better, I’ll truly take care of you."

Gu Ningyue’s face suddenly felt hot, "No thanks, suddenly I feel that this is good."

Ji Qianqian stood nearby looking confusedly at the couple, "Why did uncle kiss sister?"

Ling Tianyou said, "...Uncle? Do I look that old?"

This time it was Gu Ningyue who laughed, "Sweet Qianqian, it’s because uncle is a bit naughty. When you meet such uncles in the future, keep your distance, okay?"

Ji Qianqian nodded vigorously, "Qianqian understands, uncle is the kind of rogue on TV!"

Ling Tianyou said, "Gu! Ning! Yue!"

Gu Ningyue laughed hastily, then corrected herself, "The uncle here is not a rogue, don’t worry, Qianqian."

Ji Qianqian tilted her head, "But he kissed sister, so he is."

Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, "Well! He is sister’s fiancé, so he can kiss sister!"

Ji Qianqian didn’t quite understand, "Sister, what is a fiancé? Can it be eaten?"

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s face grow darker, Gu Ningyue tried hard to suppress her laughter, "You’ll understand later, Qianqian. In short, he is not a bad person. Don’t be afraid."

Ji Qianqian nodded, seemingly understanding somewhat, and the three continued sitting in the pavilion for a while. When the sun fully set, they returned to the ward.
