Moreover, Ling Rufeng had helped her see her mother yesterday and even saved her mother. She would never be able to repay this kindness.

What's more, he was a patient.

Ling Rufeng's gaze was deep, and when he saw Gu Xiaoyue dressed up, he was displeased.

”Are you intentionally announcing to everyone that our Ling Family is bullying you?”

These sudden words confused Gu Xiaoyue, who asked in an inexplicable manner: ”What's wrong?”

Ling Rufeng suddenly felt a little speechless, could it be that this woman was pretending to be stupid?

Following his gaze, he lowered his head to look at the clothes on his body. Then, he understood and hurriedly explained, ”No, I couldn't find my clothes in the morning, so I wore them yesterday.”

After saying that, she took another look at the dining room environment before asking doubtfully, ”This doesn't seem to be your home, does it?”

Ling Rufeng's gaze softened as he replied indifferently: ”This is my private villa. I will be staying here from now on, and will be returning to my house once a week.”

Old home?

Gu Xiaoyue felt chills down her spine when she heard those two words, she recalled the night when Ling Rufeng fell sick and the suffocating aura of the Ling Family Eldest Grandma.

He clasped his hands together and appeared to be restless.

However, it was better to go back once a week than to stay there every day.

”Go buy your own clothes, don't embarrass us with your Ling Family.” Ling Rufeng was unwilling to say more, he quickly finished his breakfast, placed a gold card on the table, then put on a suit and left the villa.

Gu family.

Hee Wenhao and Gu Ruiling walked downstairs hand in hand, and when they saw the gloomy Gu Zhenglin on the sofa, they asked: ”Dad, what's wrong with you?”

Gu Zhenglin threw the document folder in his hand onto the table in the living room fiercely and said: ”Gu Xiaoyue is really capable, to think that Young Master Ling would cancel the cooperation agreement we had made at the beginning just for her.”

Hearing that, the faces of Hee Wenhao and Gu Ruiling stiffened, the latter's eyes flashed with a trace of malice.

Hee Wenhao sat down beside Gu Zhenglin fawningly, and asked carefully: ”Father, are you talking about the real estate project that you had discussed with Ling Family?”

”Yes.” Gu Zhenglin slammed the table in anger, the loud sound made the two people beside him shiver uncontrollably.

”Yesterday, I thought he was just joking. I didn't expect him to actually believe it. That project was taken back by him, and he even gave us a hostile Lin Family. Really …”

”It's all because of that woman. If it wasn't for us, how could she have gotten into such a good marriage?”

Gu Ruiling placed the cup of water in her hand heavily on the table. With an unkind tone, she asked: ”Do you really think you've become a phoenix?”

After thinking for a long time, Hee Wenhao opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, ”I have an idea that can definitely make Gu Xiaoyue lose her favour. This way, we will have enough time to fight for the real estate project from before.”

Hearing this, the eyes of Gu Zhenglin and Gu Ruiling both lit up.

Gu Xiaoyue was standing in the garden of the villa, while a servant hurriedly rushed over and handed her her phone.

”Young Mistress, your phone call.”

Receiving the phone, seeing the familiar number on it, sadness flashed across Gu Xiaoyue's eyes for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. She picked up the call with a calm tone: ”What is it?”

No one knew what was being said, but after hanging up, Gu Xiaoyue's face became heavy, and she left the villa.
