Chapter 995 - 992

Chapter 995: Chapter 992

"Auntie." Le Zhengsheng sat down, "Are you planning to buy this apartment?"

Gu Sister paused slightly, tugging at the corner of her mouth, "You found out."

"Auntie." Le Zhengsheng frowned, "From the start, I planned to transfer this apartment to you... If you want it, then now I can..."

"No need!" Gu Sister was startled and quickly refused, "Ah Sheng, although the Gu Family is poor, I’m not to the point of asking you for a house or money."

Le Zhengsheng naturally understood this, he had seen it clearly over the years as well.

Therefore, he was even more perplexed, "Then Auntie, what is this for? Ling Yu said you agreed?"

"Yes." Gu Sister nodded with a frown, but was unwilling to say more, "Don’t ask anymore, I won’t say anything. You just need to know... in the future, I and Xiao Zheng won’t need your care, that’s all."

"Auntie!"

Le Zhengsheng was anxious, "Why are you suddenly confused? Can’t you see Ling Yu’s intentions towards Ningning?"

"I did see it." Gu Sister gritted her teeth, "Precisely because I saw it, I agreed. Ah..."

She sighed, "Ningning needs some courage, right now she has nothing left, she feels her life is over! She shouldn’t think like that! She’s only 22, a girl’s great years have just begun!"

Le Zhengsheng furrowed his thick brows tightly, growing more puzzled in his heart.

"Auntie, why?"

"Hm?" Gu Sister was startled, "What do you mean why?"

"Your attitude..." Le Zhengsheng spoke directly, "Why did your attitude change?"

"I..." Gu Sister stuttered, her gaze flickering, "Ah Sheng, I, I hope you understand Auntie, Ningning is my daughter, as a mother I wish her well. The past... Let it be!"

After a moment of silence, Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "No, Auntie, this isn’t right... Are you hiding something from me?"

"No." Gu Sister shook her head, "I just wish Ningning well, I don’t want to receive your kindness anymore..."

Facing such an answer, Le Zhengsheng was helpless and speechless.

...

Guan Chao.

Le Zhengsheng’s mood was very low, he could say he encountered setbacks at Gu Sister and Gu Xiaoning’s side.

"Director." Liao Jingqing pushed the door open and placed a file folder in front of him, "This is the complete file on Ling Yu you wanted... It’s a bit late, just arrived."

"Okay."

Le Zhengsheng opened it with a somber face, "Did you look at it?"

"Not yet." Liao Jingqing shook his head, "Just delivered."

"Hm." Le Zhengsheng gave a slight nod, pointing at Liao Jingqing, "Sit down and look together."

"Yes..."

"Ha!" Liao Jingqing suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "You really don’t know until you check, there’s actually this background? Director, what do you say, how did Ling Yu achieve this?"

Le Zhengsheng squinted, "Sit down! Got some nerve?"

"Er, yes." Liao Jingqing sat down sheepishly but still couldn’t hide his excitement, "Director..."

"I know." Le Zhengsheng narrowed his eyes, naturally calculating in his mind.

...

At the Ling Corporation, Ling Yu once again saw Le Zhengsheng.

Feeling a bit of a headache, Ling Yu rubbed his forehead, "Director Le Zheng, do you think it’s interesting for us to meet so frequently about personal matters?"

"Hmph." Le Zhengsheng chuckled, "Can’t believe that young lieutenant Ling now only has personal matters in his mind?"

Young Lieutenant...

Ling Yu was taken aback, looking at Le Zhengsheng in surprise, "You... investigated me?"

"Why, is it strange?" Le Zhengsheng raised a brow, a hint of provocation in his tone, "But, it seems inappropriate to address you as a lieutenant now... You’ve been dismissed!"

This matter was a blemish for Ling Yu.

Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, Ling Yu glared at him, "What do you want?"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Le Zhengsheng clicked his tongue, "What do you have to be so defiant with me?"

"Hmph." Ling Yu sneered, equally confrontational, "Director Le Zheng, you manage economic matters, I, an outdated lieutenant, doesn’t seem to be under your jurisdiction?"

"Indeed." Le Zhengsheng gave a slight nod, "Then Minister Lu Yuxuan... might have jurisdiction over you!"

Ling Yu stiffened, unclear about Le Zhengsheng’s intent.

"Young Lieutenant Ling." Le Zhengsheng leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice, "I’ve seen your resume, returning to inherit the family business, is that your wish? You’ve excelled at the military, how... do you not want to go back to flying your fighter jets?"

Ling Yu furrowed his thick eyebrows, restless inside.

However, uncertain of Le Zhengsheng’s intentions, he dared not reveal anything.

"Return?" Ling Yu said indifferently, "This is not for you to worry about, I am managing the Ling Corporation now, quite well."

"Is that so?" Le Zhengsheng clearly expressed disbelief, smirking, "It’s fine, I’m just laying it out here... If you still want to return to flying your fighter jets, then over at Lu Yuxuan’s side, I’ll fight for a chance for you, a chance to erase your blemished record."

After speaking, he left directly.

Watching his back, Ling Yu was stunned... Is what Le Zhengsheng said true? However, he must have a purpose; what is his purpose? He can vaguely guess.

...

"Mom!"

At Gu Sister’s house, Gu Xiaoning was arguing with her mother.

"Why are you doing this? I have a contractual relationship with Ling Yu, not even close to being friends! How can you take someone’s property for no reason?"

"Then tell me why?" Gu Sister was also anxious, "Ningning, don’t you understand? Compared to Ling Yu, I don’t want Ah Sheng’s kindness even more! If it weren’t for Xiao Zheng, I’d rather sleep on the street! I only have to think of the injustice you’ve suffered, and I..."

"Mom!" Gu Xiaoning tightly embraced her mother, "Sorry, it’s my fault..."

"Ningning." Gu Sister’s eyes turned red, "Mom isn’t someone who covets wealth, Mom just wants to give you some courage... You’re not a career-oriented strong woman, I understand my own daughter, for you, the best outcome is to find a good man to marry. A person like Ling Yu, if you miss out, do you think you’ll encounter someone like him again?"

Gu Xiaoning shook her head, sobbing, "Mom, I don’t like Ling Yu! Don’t you know whom I like? I am so wronged now, I’d rather bear the grievance myself than speak out, for whom, don’t you know?"

"So what do you want Mom to do?" Gu Sister gritted her teeth, "Ningning, listen to Mom, there’s no mistake! Being together isn’t necessarily about feeling the earth shake. Don’t I understand your personality? You’re the most docile, you’ll live well with Ling Yu too!"

"Mom!"

Gu Xiaoning wanted to say more.

"Ningning!" Gu Sister grabbed her hand, "Mom begs you! Think for Mom! Xiao Zheng is like this, can you let Mom worry less? Accept Ling Yu! Get married! Settle down and live peacefully, okay?"

Chapter 692: Sheng’s Side Story, Encountering the Unexpected

Returning to Lingyun Manor, Gu Xiaoning felt she should still have a talk with Ling Yu.

Although, last time she had clearly rejected him. But obviously, Ling Yu hadn’t given up.

Just entering the hall, Ling Yu came downstairs and ran into Gu Xiaoning, "Just in time."

"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning had no time to speak, Ling Yu spoke first.

Ling Yu looked at her, "I need to make a trip to Qiupu, come with me."

Qiupu...

Gu Xiaoning was surprised, "What kind of place is that?"

She was from Hai City, unfamiliar with everything in Holy City.

Ling Yu seemed anxious, "Pack first, I’ll tell you on the way."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoning opened her mouth, "I..."

"What?" Ling Yu frowned, occasionally checking his watch, "Have something to say?"

Fearing to delay his matters, Gu Xiaoning thought it better to speak when on the way.
