751: Ling Yan's Situation 3

Ling Yan's Situation 3

Ling Yan had been in despair, but after that man's advice, she felt that she still had a chance of survival.1

She met her mother Ji Fang at home and said, as she was packing, "Mom, I am going back to the Gu Family."

"You're going home?" Ji Fang grabbed her hands as she was packing. "What if Gu Siting gets suspicious because we are going home? Also, the man Gu Siting wants to meet might appear at any moment. Let's just run away and find a new identity somewhere else…"

"Escape?" Ling Yan laughed at her and said, "What is the point of running away? If the Gu Family and Cayman Dorrans want to find us, it is useless no matter where we run."

Since she could not escape either way, she might as well take the risk.

"Then what can you do if you go home?" Ji Fang asked.

Ling Yan looked sinister. "If I go back and take the Nine-Eyed Pearl, that person will not be able to tell Gu Siting anything about Gu Weiwei."

"That is too dangerous." Ji Fang objected.

When Cayman Dorrans wanted to take away Gu Weiwei's body, Gu Siting objected with all his might.

If she went back to touch this Heavenly Jewel and Gu Siting found out about it, she would never be able to return.

"If we don't fight now, we will die," Ling Yan said and continued to pack her things.

"Yanyan, maybe it is not as bad as we think. The Nine-Eyed Pearl is not that amazing, and Mu Weiwei's movie is just a coincidence." Ji Fang consoled herself.

If everything was not as bad as they had thought, Gu Siting would be even more suspicious if she touched the Nine-Eyed Pearl.

"Mom, don't worry about it," Ling Yan said resolutely.

One or two incidents could be considered a coincidence, but there were too many coincidences involving Mu Weiwei, and unusual coincidences… were usually something else.

She had nowhere else to go anyway. If she succeeded, she would have a chance of survival, but if she failed, she would die anyways.

Ji Fang could not persuade her, so she had to send her home herself.

Since Ling Yan was working in a foreign land, it was already evening when they returned to the Gu Family, after they returned to the capital of A Land.

Gu Siting did not show any surprise at her arrival.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

"Have we not seen each other for a long time?" Ling Yan smiled calmly.

Gu Siting sized up this skinny and haggard woman. If she had not shown up in front of him, he would have forgotten that he even had a fiancée.

He stayed silent for a while and then said to the butler, "Arrange a place for them to stay and then send them home tomorrow."

"Brother Siting, can I… stay here for a while?" Ling Yan asked when she heard that they were going to be sent home tomorrow.

She would not make it in time if she only managed to stay for one night.

Gu Siting threw a displeased look at the woman who made the request. "I am very busy these days."

"Brother Siting, I have been too busy with work these days and I haven't had any time to see you. Can't you let me stay here for a few days?" Ling Yan pleaded with a gentle voice.

Gu Siting said impatiently, "Whatever you want."

Anyways, he did not come home often these days.

Having said these words, he went straight to his bedroom, leaving the butler and the servant to greet Ling Yan and her mother.

Seeing him going upstairs, Ling Yan glanced at the secret door leading to the cellar.

Although she was going to steal the Nine-Eyed Pearl, it would be best if she was not suspected. Stealing it would take time and a perfect opportunity.
