Hearing the sound of Gu Lingsha’s grim laughter, Yang Sheng was stunned. He subconsciously turned to look at her, yet at this moment, she had already lowered her gaze and turned to look to the side.

“Is she still like that? Looks like that isn’t so,” said Gu Lingsha calmly. The contents of her words confused Yang Sheng, and he did not understand what he meant.

He thought about it before asking, “Miss Gu, were you very close to Chief Zhuang before this?”

She wrapped herself with the coat tighter as she replied indifferently, “I’m not.”

Yang Sheng recalled Gu Lingsha’s relationship with the Mu family previously, and his expression turned stiff. He was well aware of the situation, so he did not ask further after that. Instead, she looked up to look at the bench where Zhuang Shurong and Xi Xiaye sat under the sun and sighed. “I did meet Chief Zhuang quite a few times before this. It’s quite hard to imagine that she would have such easy-going moments. She’s the famous stern iron wrist in the world of politics. Many people are…”

She did not continue while a smile just curled up on her lips. Yang Sheng softly reminded, “It’s best not to simply discuss matters like that. Be careful. The walls might have ears.”

Gu Lingsha knew the kind of person Zhuang Shurong was. While she had never gotten any goodwill out of Zhuang Shurong, much less have chatted the casual way she was chatting with Xi Xiaye right now.

In the past, even though she had very carefully tried to please Zhuang Shurong, all she would have gotten would be an indifferent nod.

So, back then, her mother had told her that even if she married into the Mu family, she might not have pleasant days to come, but…

“Miss Gu, you’re right. The sun’s pretty lovely. How about we go out to sunbathe too? Master Qi’s schedule for today is packed, but he’s worried about you, Ms. Gu, so he sent me to come and see if you need help with anything.”

Gu Lingsha gazed up at the warm sun on the horizon, then sat down on the bench on the side.

She watched the figures of the two people on the bench again as she suddenly asked Yang Sheng softly, “Are you saying that the person I got into an accident with is this Xi Xiaye’s best friend’s husband?”

Yang Sheng responded with a nod, “Yeah, Director Xi has been good friends with Miss Su and Mr. Ruan since they were young. Miss Su and Mr. Ruan have just been married for less than a year. Their daughter is only two months old. According to the doctor, his condition is quite concerning. Master Qi has also been helping him contact some doctors, hoping for him to regain consciousness soon.”

“Is Lei a good friend of Miss Xi? If that’s the case, I really put him in a tight spot, huh?” Gu Lingsha looked at Yang Sheng, her blue eyes flickering with a guilty light as she smiled wryly.

“Miss Gu, don’t blame yourself. Master Qi’s just doing his best as a friend. Director Xi and Chairman Mu are partners with Master Qi, aren’t they? Master Qi feels bad that such an incident has happened as well.” Yang Sheng sighed, disheartened.

“Doing his best as a friend…” Gu Lingsha muttered softly, yet a skeptical smile flashed across her eyes. “Can they actually let go of all the past grudges and be friends? That requires a lot of courage! I really don’t understand him anymore… Please help me check which ward Mr. Ruan is staying at.”

Yang Sheng hesitated before nodding and then leaving very quickly.

Meanwhile, Xi Xiaye and Zhuang Shurong chatted for a while before Ji Zitong went over, and Xi Xiaye went to visit Ruan Heng.

Zhuang Shurong coincidentally decided to meet some friends in Hospital T too. When she saw Xi Xiaye and Ji Zitong vanishing in the walkway, she was about to go and meet them. Then, she turned around and walked away.

When she saw Gu Lingsha sitting on the side, Zhuang Shurong was a little surprised, but she was extremely calm and pretended as if she did not see her and continued walking ahead.

As Gu Lingsha watched Zhuang Shurong walk past her, broodiness flashed in her eyes. Both her hands subconsciously clenched tightly and she endured it for a while before she could not help but speak up, “Aunt Zhuang, long time no see. Are you so terribly busy that you can’t even say hi?”

When she heard Gu Lingsha greet her out loud, Zhuang Shurong stopped walking and turned to her side to glance Gu Lingsha with apathy, “Since you know how to call me Aunt Zhuang, then you’re acknowledging your status as one of the younger generation. My eyesight isn’t too great. If you hadn’t greeted me, how would I have known that the person sitting there is you?”

Zhuang Shurong was cold as always. She was far different from the easy-going and loving person while chatting with Xi Xiaye earlier.

Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha laughed bitterly and replied quite sweetly, “Well, in that case, I’m really sorry. It was my fault! Aunt Zhuang, you’re naturally beautiful. Five years have passed and you haven’t quite changed. You’re as radiant as you were from before, and all spirited and sprightly.”

Zhuang Shurong did not say anything. Her sharp line of sight swept across Gu Lingsha with her classic stern and incisive look which showed that she was unflustered. Gu Lingsha felt the pit of her stomach tighten in anxiety!

She almost forgot how incredible this Zhuang Shurong was. Every time she met her, Gu Lingsha would feel a lack of confidence. With that sly fox in the Mu family, all of them were difficult to deal with.

“Aunt Zhuang, why are you looking at me like that?” Gu Lingsha muttered.

“Miss Gu, five years ago, I didn’t care whether you had a reason, but since the incident has happened, it’s a reality that no one can change. These five years, I don’t want to know what happened to you either. Right now, the only outcome is that Lingtian has passed while you are still alive. Qi Feng is probably still alive too, isn’t he? I don’t care what you’re back for this time, but if you’re thinking about bad intentions, don’t blame me for not being courteous. You know my temper and tricks well enough, don’t you?”

Zhuang Shurong was always frank, and she did not care about beating around the bush with Gu Lingsha.

Admittedly, when Zhuang Shurong said that, Gu Lingsha’s expression froze.

“Since you like Qi Feng, you should guard him well. Ah Chen was happy to let you two be as well even though he didn’t tell me the reason. I could already guess that you were behind it. You can’t have your cake and eat it. I don’t care what has conspired between the Gu family and the Qi family, but I definitely won’t allow someone with bad intentions to marry into the Mu family.”

When Gu Lingsha heard Zhuang Shurong, her expression darkened, and she could not help but defend herself. “Aunt Zhuang, you’re the same as before. You’re simply prejudiced against me. I don’t blame you, but please don’t insult my integrity!”

“Insult your integrity? Are you sure you have an ounce of integrity? Dare you say that you’ve been honest to Ah Chen and Lingtian?”
