Chapter 168 Leng Shaoting Stays up All Night

Gu Ning used her hairdryer to dry her waist-long hair and put it into a bun for convenience. She took her phone and keys, leaving for Gu Qing’s home afterwards.

Seeing that Jiang Xu was home, Gu Ning asked him with care, “Uncle, how is everything going?”

“Everything is fine. The construction materials will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. The store is ready to open the day after tomorrow!” Jiang Xu was apparently happy.

“I’m glad to hear that!” Gu Ning said.

Then she walked into the kitchen. Gu Man and Gu Qing were busy cooking. “Mom, aunt, do you need help?”

“Nope, just sit there. The meal will be ready soon,” Gu Qing said.

“Oh, how is the beauty salon?” Gu Ning asked.

“It’s going well. We’re getting used to running the business,” Gu Qing added.

“That’s good to know!” Gu Ning said. “Where is Xinyue?”

“In her room. She locked herself in the room after she came back from her school. I don’t know why. She won’t come out,” Gu Qing sounded a little worried.

“Let me talk to her,” Gu Ning said. She walked to Jiang Xinyue’s room and knocked on the door. “Xinyue, it’s me. What are you doing in there?”

“Nothing!” Jiang Xinyue said, but it seemed that she had no intention to come out. Gu Ning was astute enough to notice that pang Xinyue’s voice wasn’t right. She was crying, but why?

“May I come in?” Gu Ning asked.

“Sorry, I’m reading!” Jiang Xinyue declined.

“How can she be so impolite? Does she have to read right now? Xinyue, come out right now!” Gu Qing ran out from the kitchen and raised her voice in anger.

“Aunt, it’s fine. Leave it to me please!” Gu Ning immediately pushed Gu Qing back to the kitchen.

Although Gu Ning didn’t want to invade others’ privacy, Jiang Xinyue obviously wasn’t normal. Thus she could only use her Jade Eyes to see what was going on inside.

In the room, w uxi a w o rld.site, Jiang Xinyue was actually sitting in front of her studying desk, but she wasn’t reading. She was crying. On her left cheek, there was a clear palm mark. To be specific, there were several palm marks added up.

Seeing that, Gu Ning’s face changed. She understood why Jiang Xinyue wasn’t willing to come out. She didn’t want anyone to find out about the injury on her face.

Gu Ning immediately went to get a bottle of icy drink and sent a message to Jiang Xinyue. Xinyue, I understand that you don’t want you parents to know what has happened, but I can help you. Please open the door and let me in.

Jiang Xinyue read the message and hesitated to open the door. After a few seconds, she stood up opening the door for Gu Ning.

Jiang Xinyue let her hair down to cover her left cheek. Gu Ning stood before her, but Jiang Xinyue only called her quietly and kept her head down to avoid her look.

Gu Ning walked in and closed the door at once. She locked the door before pulling Jiang Xinyue to the side of her bed. Without saying anything, she used the icy bottle to cover Jiang Xinyue’s swollen cheek. Jiang Xinyue moved unconsciously but was stopped by Gu Ning. “If you don’t want your parents to know, stay still.”
