Rebirth of Sweet Love: The Paranoid Ninth Master He Has Fallen

Chapter 207 She wanted his life, but he was willing to give it to her

Gu Lingxue lowered her head to avoid the old man's sharp gaze, her palms slightly sweaty.

Lin Shen didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the Gu family, and smiled politely: "Did you accidentally leave it somewhere? Please ask someone to look for it, old man."

Mr. Gu immediately realized that Lin Shen was probably here for that ginseng today - or Gu Lingxue!
"Ling Xue." The old man said with a majestic voice, "What do you have to say?"

The rest of the Gu family looked at Gu Lingxue in shock.

Last night, they were praising Gu Lingxue for her filial piety and thoughtfulness, but it turned out that she didn't ask for the ginseng at all?

How could Gu Lingxue, who had always been aloof and arrogant, do such a thing?

Being stared at by everyone, Gu Lingxue couldn't help but look stiff.

She had done this kind of thing so many times, and this was the first time that someone discovered it, and it was exposed in front of everyone in the Gu family!
"Ling Xue, is your ginseng really sent by Manxia?" The old lady stared at her in disbelief.

Gu Lingxue pinched her palms, thoughts racing in her mind.

Soon, she calmed down and said shamefully: "Yes. I'm sorry, grandpa, grandma, aunt, I lied to you last night!"

She actually admitted it like this!
But I dare to admit it, of course because there is a backup plan——

Without waiting for her family to be disappointed, she said: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I know what I did was wrong, but I'm really worried about your health. I know you need that ginseng, but if I tell the truth, it's a long time." If Xia sent it... I'm afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I had to lie."

As soon as these words came out, the Gu family was stunned.

After all, they had been in a relationship for many years. After hearing what she said sincerely and ashamed, the old lady believed it without much doubt, and her eyes became kind again, "You kid, I know you mean well, but don't do this next time, you know?" ?”

Gu Lingxue nodded obediently, "I understand, grandma."

Lin Shen stood aside and glanced at Gu Lingxue with a cold smile, thinking that it was no wonder that her wife and the Gu family would be in such a situation. Apart from Xia Lian and her daughter, I am afraid that Gu Lingxue also played a role in it.

It was obvious that she had a bad intention and stole the ginseng sent by the madam, but in two sentences she reversed right and wrong. In the end, not only was she right, but she also left a filial impression on everyone!

The old man was a little helpless, "Assistant Lin, this..."

Things are figured out, but now the question is how to solve it.

That ginseng was so precious and was sent by Yun Manxia. Logically, it should be returned intact, but now, everything has been used!

Lin Shen smiled faintly, "Since it has been used by the old man, let's forget it. It just so happens that my wife's purpose is to fulfill her filial piety, and now she has achieved it."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Lingxue's face stiffened.

Doesn't this mean that she has been busy for a long time, but in the end the credit goes to Yun Manxia? Not only did she gain nothing, but if she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost lost the trust of the Gu family!
Lin Shen didn't seem to notice the change in Gu Lingxue's face. He asked someone to come in and pick up the gifts and smiled, "Old sir, I'll take my leave then."

Lin Shen led the people away.

The old man's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the servants, "Tell me, how come the things that should be thrown into the trash can are in your hands!"

The servants' hearts skipped a beat and they were a little panicked, especially Liu Yuemei, who subconsciously glanced at Gu Lingxue.

Gu Lingxue pursed her lips and gave her a sharp look.

She asked the servants to divide the things, but she just showed favors casually and humiliated Yun Manxia - so many gifts, what's the point of preparing them carefully?It’s not that it couldn’t reach the old man’s hands, but in the end he got some low-status servants!

But she didn't expect that the matter would be brought out at the time. The ginseng incident had just happened. If the old man knew that she had given things to others, the image she had worked hard for many years would be ruined!

Liu Yuemei obviously thought so too, so she hurriedly said, "I asked everyone to share it. I think it's a bit wasteful to throw away such a good thing..."

The old man stared at her sharply.Liu Yuemei lowered her head in panic.

After a long while, the old man looked away and said, neither happy nor angry: "Don't let this happen again!"

I didn't say anything after that.

Liu Yuemei and Gu Lingxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that the matter was over, Gu Lingxue wanted to walk away, but the old man suddenly said: "Lingxue."

Gu Lingxue's heart skipped a beat and she stopped, "Grandpa."

The old man looked at her indifferently and said meaningfully: "I'm very happy that you have this filial piety. Today, if you take something from anyone else, I won't say or think too much about it, but that's a comic." Xia sent it. You have taken enough of her things, and you shouldn’t touch the others."

Gu Lingxue's expression changed, and she lowered her head deeply, "...Yes, Grandpa, I understand."

The old man nodded, "Go and do your own thing."

Seeing Gu Lingxue's figure disappear, the old man slowly looked back.

Indeed, his daughter Wan Yin needs an heir. In this regard, his granddaughter Man Xia disappoints him. On the contrary, Gu Lingxue is very good and makes him very satisfied. Therefore, the position of heir must be Gu Lingxue. This is something he will not do because of Man Xia. He changed his mind because of the blood relationship in Xia.

However, no matter what, Manxia is still his granddaughter. Even if he has made it clear to the outside world that he does not care about or recognizes the other party, he cannot be bullied at will!

Mrs. Gu's eyes were red, "Old man, Manxia... this child knows that she came to see you, has she changed her mind? Do you think you can recognize her back..."

"No!" The old man said firmly, "The Gu family already has Ling Xue, what's the point of bringing Man Xia back?"

Besides, after so many things happened, he was really disappointed with Manxia, ​​his granddaughter. He would take care of her for the sake of his deceased daughter, but he would never recognize her back again.

Mrs. Gu was a soft-hearted and kind old lady. She not only cared about her granddaughter Yun Manxia, ​​but also thought about Gu Lingxue who had watched her grow up. Seeing that there was no hope for Yun Manxia, ​​and thinking of Gu Lingxue's appearance when she left, she worriedly stand up.

"Hey, how could you say that to Ling Xue just now? She took the ginseng for you too... That child has been sensitive since she was a child, and she must feel uncomfortable now. I'll go see her."

Lin Shen returned to the apartment and reported everything that happened to the Gu family to Yun Manxia.

Yun Manxia nodded, "You did a good job."

Lin Shen felt a little regretful, "She still made excuses, and the Gu family seemed to believe her."

Yun Manxia was not surprised at all. She sneered, "If she is so easy to deal with, how can she take away my position as heir? What's more, it's just such a trivial matter."

She didn't expect to deal with Gu Lingxue in one go. She just didn't want anyone to touch the things her husband had prepared, and she wanted to plant a seed in the hearts of the Gu family.

This seed will one day take root and sprout, slowly destroying the trust that Gu Lingxue has built up in the Gu family over the years!
She will tear off the mask on Gu Lingxue's face bit by bit!
"This is the effect I want to achieve, so you did a great job." Yun Manxia was not stingy with her praise at all.

He turned to Bai Hedu and said, "Honey, Lin Shen has done such a good job, aren't you going to give him a bonus?"

She put her arms around the man's neck and acted coquettishly, but Bai Hedu couldn't resist it. He put his arms around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "Okay, extra bonus."

Lin Shen suddenly smiled more sincerely, "Thank you, Master Jiu!"

Master Jiu did not respond to his words. He focused all his attention on his little wife in his arms. His eyes were full of doting and tenderness that almost made people drown.

Let alone a mere bonus, at that moment, if she wanted his life, he would probably agree.
