Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 456: Looking Forward to Something

Watching the office door close again, Gu Zheng’s lips finally curved into a smile.

The portal is clear, now it’s time to strike back.

Since Li Yulan so desperately wants to cling to Xiang Bei, he might as well grant her wish!

Just hoping Li Yulan won’t regret it.

He dialed Li Yulan’s phone number, asked briefly about Gu Wanwan’s situation, and then said, "I’ve hired a nurse for Wanwan, she should be at the hospital soon. Tonight, you should go home and rest!"

Li Yulan seemed somewhat pleased, pretended to be concerned for Gu Zheng, then agreed and hung up the phone.

The disinfectant smell of the hospital had long overpowered the faint fragrance on her, and the stark white ward made her weary.

Especially her now insane daughter on the bed, just looking at her was frustrating.

The doctor said that there’s a very small chance Gu Wanwan could recover.

Which means now all her hopes rely solely on Xiang Bei.

Although Gu Zheng reached a reluctant reconciliation with the Ye Family recently, the Ye Family returned ten million, but compared to the fifty million given out before, it was a huge loss.

She just couldn’t understand how Gu Zheng could let the Ye Family off so easily, considering all of this was caused by Ye Mingchen, how could her daughter, Wanwan, be blamed?

Li Yulan scoffed coldly, remembering the Ye Family’s attitude still made her furious.

In her heart, her daughter was always right no matter what she did.

It’s all that useless Ye Mingchen’s fault, dragging her daughter down and making her suffer like this.

If the day ever comes when Ye Mingchen is released, she would find a way to make him pay!

About forty minutes later, a nurse opened the door to the ward, Li Yulan gave a brief rundown and then eagerly grabbed her phone and left.

She had been staying in the hospital for almost a week, the smell of disinfectant clinging to her was unbearable.

Moreover, it seemed she hadn’t seen Xiang Bei for quite a while.

It had only been a few days, yet it felt like a month had passed.

If she could, she really wanted to rush into his arms.

With slightly dry lips, Li Yulan pulled out her phone and sent a message to that familiar number: "Are you coming home tonight?"

The car started, and a message already came from the other side: "Tonight at eight, same place, I have something to tell you."

Li Yulan looked at the message, feeling a bit surprised, was there someone else beside him? Why did Xiang Bei suddenly talk so seriously?

Yet, even so, Li Yulan still replied: "Okay."

She drove home, the butler noticed her somewhat weary face and suddenly approached: "Madam, the Ye Family came looking for you two hours ago."

Li Yulan was taken aback and then unhappily said, "What are they here for?"

The butler hesitated for a moment, using words less piercing to Li Yulan: "It seems to be about the second miss, after all... the second miss isn’t well now, so the Ye Family hopes... they hope she can help, they’re willing to offer ten million to both you and master."

"Bang!" The cup in her hand shattered, Li Yulan angrily said, "Good for them! Wanwan marries them such a short time and ends up like this, and they still have the nerve to ask Wanwan to help their irresponsible son share the blame?"

Moreover, the crimes committed by Ye Mingchen are irrefutable, no matter how they try to deny, it’s futile, why involve her daughter?

"Madam, don’t be angry, it’s not good for your health." The butler tried to console her, seeing how furious Li Yulan was: "The Ye Family representatives said if you agree, they’ll offer you eight million more! In total eighteen million, please consider it."

Li Yulan sneered, "Eighteen million, isn’t that Wanwan’s dowry when she married? They have the nerve to present it to us to lessen Ye Mingchen’s penalty."

Unable to say more, the butler sighed, had someone clean up the mess, and went back to work.

Li Yulan returned to her room, filled the bathtub with water, and undressed to lie in the tub.

The warm water soaking her tired body from days of bedside care helped her relax.

The Ye Family tried to bribe her with money, they can dream! Once she and Xiang Bei are together, not to mention eight million, even eighty million would be easy.

Even middle-aged, Li Yulan still believed her charm was better than the old wife of Xiang Bei.

She lay there, eyes closed, soaking for who knows how long, finally taking out the phone to call Gu Zheng: "Honey, are you coming home for lunch?"

Gu Zheng’s voice was indifferent, her deliberate sweet talk had long lost its appeal: "Too many things at the company today, I won’t be coming back. Don’t wait for me tonight either, I have a gathering with Mr. Chen from the developers. It’ll probably end around two or three, and I have a morning meeting at the company tomorrow. I won’t be back tonight!"

He purposely left Li Yulan at the hospital for several days, to prevent her from meeting Xiang Bei.

Now, the timing was right, this couple who hadn’t seen each other for some time should be happy with the opportunity he’s given them!

Li Yulan indeed felt a bit delighted, two or three o’clock finish meant he would go straight back to the company like before.

If that’s the case, isn’t this just giving her an opportunity?

"Oh really!" Li Yulan deliberately pretended to be disappointed: "Then take care of yourself, darling, don’t overwork. Wanwan and I only depend on you, if you get sick, what will we do?"

Gu Zheng inwardly sneered, if he got sick, wouldn’t you Li Yulan be the happiest!

He thought so but seemed to continue her conversation by expressing concern, "Yulan, you should rest early too, you’ve been at the hospital caring for Wanwan for days. If there isn’t anything urgent at home, just leave it to the butler. Also, there’s a card in my study, go shopping tomorrow and buy yourself something!"

"Hmm!" Li Yulan joyfully said, "Thank you, honey! I know, there’s no weariness in caring for one’s daughter."

They chatted for a bit longer and hung up.

Li Yulan smiled, then slowly stepped out of the bathtub.

Gu Zheng not returning tonight meant she could intimately reunite with Xiang Bei.

At this moment, Li Yulan seemed unaware of how serious Xiang Bei’s matter could be, still holding onto future hope, thinking everything was under her control...
