Chapter 234 - 233: Benefits of a Fisherman (5)
Dong Xin Yan is a more terrifying presence than Zhou Yalin. She is confident she can beat Zhou Yalin, but Dong Xin Yan, she has no assurance at all. From the silence of Gu Ningyi just now, she could see that he was still concerned about Zhou Yalin, which proved that he still knew nothing about the events of those years. Thus, his current interest in Dong Xin Yan might just be temporary.
Realizing this, the panic in her heart slightly subsided, and her brain began to spin rapidly.
Now, faced with Mrs. Gu’s inquiry, she had two answers in her mind. One was to directly reveal to Mrs. Gu that there was a Dong Xin Yan by Gu Ningyi’s side, prompting Mrs. Gu to handle her. The second was to bring up Zhou Yalin, and let Mrs. Gu call Yalin back so that Yalin could deal with Dong Xin Yan.
She was more inclined towards the first option because she wasn’t eager for Zhou Yalin to return, having finally managed to escape on her own, but if Mrs. Gu intervened directly, it could easily provoke resistance from Gu Ningyi.
She understood Gu Ningyi; he most hated when Mrs. Gu meddled in his affairs.
The more Mrs. Gu liked something, the more he disliked it. Just as he never liked Zhou Yalin, his fiancée, nor did he ever like Dong Xin Yan, the little follower.
Therefore, her only choice was to have Zhou Yalin come back.
After all, Zhou Yalin was his rightful fiancée, and... Gu Ningyi still had feelings and guilt towards her, which was Zhou Yalin’s greatest advantage.
Yuan Shi lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the gleam in them, and after choosing her words carefully, she softly replied, "Auntie, please don’t overthink, how could there be any problem between Ning Yi and Yalin’s relationship? However..."
Mrs. Gu frowned, "However, what?"
"However, last time Ning Yi and Yalin had a fight, and Yalin impulsively went to the United States, right? Up till now, it’s been over half a year, hasn’t it? For a couple, being apart for over half a year always affects their relationship somewhat."
