CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: THANK HEAVEN

Speaking of that Ye Family project, Gu Ningyue had a faint smile on her lips: "Does your company really have people this oblivious? Even a project like this you’d want to invest in?"

Ling Tianyou raised his eyebrows at Gu Ningyue: "Do you also think this project isn’t worth investing in?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Only the Ye Family knows what they are planning, I’m just speculating, even if the project earns money, it will only do so for a few select families. Investors, if they don’t lose money, should consider themselves lucky."

The Ye Family’s old man has mixed in business for so many years and is already a well-oiled character.

No matter how you look at this project, it seems somewhat strange.

However, some people think they are invincible and always love to court novelty.

But this novelty may come at the cost of bankruptcy dressing up for others.

"You know about these things?" Ling Tianyou sized up Gu Ningyue: "Do you follow company matters when you’re at home?"

Gu Ningyue paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah! They think I have a bit of a problem with my mind, so sometimes they don’t bother hiding things from me! They know even if I hear them, I won’t understand!"

How could she dare tell Ling Tianyou she had already understood these things?

Ling Tianyou already had doubts about her knowing martial arts, and if there were more leaps, she would have a hard time explaining.

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of her words.

This girl always has things she doesn’t let him know about, and this time? Could she be lying again?

After a while, he suddenly spoke: "Let’s eat! Once we finish, I’ll go sleep next door, you should rest early too!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, they had dinner together, and for once, Ling Tianyou didn’t tease her and went back to the adjacent ward to sleep.

"Qianqian should sleep too!" Gu Ningyue stood up, looked at Ji Qianqian, and asked: "What story would you like to hear today? How about I tell you a story, Qianqian?"

Ji Qianqian shook her head, twisting her fingers, not sure what she was thinking.

Gu Ningyue asked again, and only then did Ji Qianqian finally raise her head to look at Gu Ningyue and say: "I want to go home, Sister, when can I go home?"

Gu Ningyue’s smile froze slightly, "Can you wait a little longer? Your Sister Qingqing has matters and can’t come to pick you up, follow me here for a while, okay?"

Ji Qianqian sighed heavily, lowered her head, and dejectedly followed Gu Ningyue back to her room.

Having told the story and coaxed Ji Qianqian to sleep, Gu Ningyue returned to her own bed.

The night was long and leisurely, she closed her eyes and slowly drifted into her dreams.

On the other side, in the Gu Family villa, Gu Wanwan sat on her bed, looking at the messages from Ye Mingchen on her phone, her pale face blossoming into a radiant smile.

"Wanwan, don’t worry, my dad said as soon as the fifty million is received, the engagement party and wedding will be arranged immediately."

"Brother Mingchen, we can finally be together legitimately."

"Sorry, Wanwan, for the grievances you’ve endured these years."

"Not aggrieved, as long as we can end up together, I am willing to bear any hardship."

"Wanwan, I love you..."

"I love you too, Brother Mingchen."

Looking at these words, Gu Wanwan suddenly felt that the grievances she had suffered recently were all worth it.

She had threatened Gu Zheng with suicide and inadvertently showed her wounds to Ye Mingchen during a video call, triggering his protective instinct.

These days, Ye Mingchen probably hasn’t had an easy time at home.

Otherwise, the Ye family wouldn’t decide to come to the Gu Family to visit tomorrow.

Ultimately, the Young Madam of the Ye Family was Gu Wanwan.

No matter what Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou had, wasn’t Ye Mingchen previously obedient to her?

This battle, in the end, she was the victor.

Besides, who can guarantee Ling Tianyou’s novelty will last a lifetime?

Who knows, in time, Gu Ningyue might be cast out by Ling Tianyou.

That would truly be delightful then!

After all, the most fickle things in this world are human hearts!

Thinking of this, Gu Wanwan was almost too excited to sleep at night.

As dawn began to break, lighting up the sky with pale white, she finally closed her eyes for a short nap.

When a servant came in to wake her, Gu Wanwan was still somewhat groggy.

"Miss, the master said you should get up and dress up now."

Gu Wanwan nodded, "Alright, I know, you can leave now!"

The servant responded but didn’t leave, instead looking at Gu Wanwan and said: "The master also said, today’s makeup shouldn’t be too heavy."

Ideally, it should show a bit of paleness and discomfort.

However, not too much should be shown, as it might lead the Ye family to look down upon them.

Gu Wanwan understood, "Yes, I know how to handle it."

The servant then turned to leave, leaving Gu Wanwan alone in the room.

She stretched lazily, took a hot shower, and brought out the clothes she had prepared.

It was a yellow floral long skirt with white lilies, looking pure and lovely.

Her dried black hair draped over her back, Gu Wanwan sat at the dressing table and began to apply makeup.

Half an hour later, Gu Wanwan went downstairs.

Today, Gu Heng was rarely at home, he greeted his sister: "Sis, come sit!"

The last time, Gu Ningyue had knocked out one of his teeth, and although he had a replacement, talking still felt a bit strange.

The color of that tooth seemed different from the rest in Gu Heng’s mouth, and if he opened his mouth wide, it could be plainly seen.

Gu Wanwan left her chair to come to the dining table, Gu Zheng looked at her sternly and said: "Wanwan, let me say this in advance. If the Gu Family has any other additional conditions, then forget about the marriage!"

Gu Wanwan was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, dad, I understand!"

Five million is the final bottom line, there is no daughter marrying out more humble than her.

If there are any other conditions, Gu Zheng would rather keep her at home until she grows old and dies, than let her marry Ye Mingchen.

Seeing she didn’t oppose, Gu Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, "That’s good."

Gu Heng glanced at the gauze on Gu Wanwan’s wrist: "Sis, I’m not trying to criticize you, but is it really worth it for a man like him?"

Li Yulan kicked Gu Heng under the table: "Just eat your meal. We’ve finally come home, let’s have some peace!"

Gu Heng grimaced, "I’m telling the truth! The Ye Family made outrageous demands, and it’s clear they’re exploiting your attachment to Ye Mingchen! They’re indulging them..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zheng had already forcefully set down his chopsticks: "Nonsense! The more you talk, the more unreasonable you become! You’re so capable, why don’t you bring home a girlfriend one day, then your mom and I will truly thank the heavens!"

Gu Heng immediately retorted, displeased: "It’s not that I don’t want to find one; if I did, there would be plenty of girls who like me."
