Chapter 435: Chapter 435: The More I Think, The More It Doesn’t Make Sense

The crisis was over, everyone gathered in a room to rest. They had barely made it through, with a near miss of losing all their previous efforts.

Gu Fan said a lot: "Lin Xi, you were too reckless. If we hadn’t been lucky tonight, they would have captured you. Just because you know a bit of magic does not mean you can handle everything."

Lin Xi listened attentively, humbly accepting her mistakes. This eventually left Gu Fan without anger, and he was unable to continue speaking.

"Okay, I understand my mistake, I won’t act recklessly anymore. Next time I take any action, I will definitely listen to you." Lin Xi said this, only to be met by Gu Fan’s displeasure: "Are you planning on there being a next time?"

To this, Lin Xi smirked: "If necessary, I think there will be a next time, but don’t worry, I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t take independent action anymore. Plus, I’m confident, after all, I have such a great boyfriend."

Hearing this, Gu Fan’s anger seemed to diminish a bit, while Lu Yi and Jie, on the side, began to feel a bit superfluous as they observed the couple’s sweet interaction.

At this time, Gu Ling’s voice sounded from outside: "What does this mean? Why do you ask me to go back? I clearly contributed the most this time. Are you planning to discuss something behind my back? If I don’t know anything, how am I supposed to help you next time?"

Gu Fan suddenly felt a headache. He didn’t want his sister to get involved, but she had become involved anyway.

Lin Xi also felt awkward. Honestly, if Gu Ling hadn’t intervened this time, everyone would’ve likely faced trouble.

"What do we do? What do we do?" Gu Fan worried, considering the trend, Gu Ling might have already upset Qian Ying and might become the target of Qian Ying’s retaliation.

Lin Xi wanted to say something comforting, but hesitated. After all, these troubles were caused by her. She knew that sooner or later, Shennv Xuanhui would target the people closest to her. Gu Fan might be Shennv Xuanhui’s target, and perhaps even Gu Ling might be affected.

Lin Xi was now anxious and praying that Gu Fan’s parents wouldn’t return to the country during this time. If they involved Gu Fan’s parents as well, it would be a disaster.

At this time, Gu Ling sat on the sofa in the living room sulking, completely ignoring everything around her, leaving Qin Jia, who was trying to mollify her, feeling awkward.

Qin Jia made another attempt: "Xiaoling, don’t be angry. Your brother is only trying to do what’s best for you. He would never harm you. All brothers have the instinct to protect their sisters. You should be touched and happy to have such a brother."

"Sister Qin Jia, you may say so, but I always feel left out. It’s like everyone knows what’s happening, and only I’m kept in the dark." As she spoke, Gu Ling felt a sense of injustice.

Su Hui arrived, seeing Gu Ling in a disgruntled state, she smiled and asked, "What’s up, Xiaoling? Who blamed you?"

Gu Ling has always liked Su Hui, on seeing her, Gu Ling started to pour out her grievances: "Sister Su, what do you guys really mean? I’ve been helping you so much, yet you guys don’t tell me anything. How am I supposed to help you in the future?"

"Alright, Xiaoling, don’t be angry, let’s go home first." Having vaguely understood what had happened, Su Hui came to take Gu Ling home first, following Gu Fan’s intention.

"Okay!" Gu Ling followed Su Hui out, but before leaving, she couldn’t help but glance at the closed door of the room. She hadn’t seen Lin Xi or Gu Fan emerge yet, and wondered what they were discussing.

Gu Ling was thinking that this was the second time she had seen that strange woman. The first time was on the school campus, the second time was in this restaurant, and she even caught Lin Xi. Could all this be related to Lin Xi?

The more Gu Ling thought about Lin Xi, the more she felt that Lin Xi was not straightforward. Her initial impression of Lin Xi was that of a mystery.

As her curiosity heightened, she determined to get closer to Lin Xi in the future, to uncover Lin Xi’s real identity, and see who could keep secrets then.

Watching Gu Ling’s smug face, Su Hui knew what this little girl was thinking. Su Hui told her, "Alright, Xiaoling, stop thinking about all this nonsense, be a good student and focus on your studies, everything else does not concern you."

"Oh!" Gu Ling knew she had been seen through, but she wasn’t willing to give up. She found it unfair that everyone else knew what was happening but she didn’t. Suddenly, Gu Ling asked, "Sister Su, do you know something? Can you tip me off a little?"

Su Hui reprimanded her immediately: "What are you thinking, little girl? Don’t you understand that the more you know, the more dangerous it gets? Your brother only wants to keep you away from these things, and you insist on joining in. Are you trying to worry your brother to death?"

Gu Ling quickly defended herself: "I’m not trying to cause trouble, I just want to help my brother."

Su Hui shook her head: "The best help you can provide is to stay out of these things. Don’t make your brother work so hard to finally get you out after you dive in recklessly."

Hearing this, Gu Ling felt bitter: "It’s weird, do all of you think of me as a child, thinking I will only slow things down if I get involved? Why does it always have to be my brother pulling me out? Why can’t it be me helping my brother? This is already the second time, if I hadn’t interfered with that strange woman, who knows what situation Sister Lin Xi would be in."

"This..." Su Hui didn’t know what to say. She sighed thinking, Gu Fan, if you don’t want your sister to get involved, you need to buck up yourself. The fact that Gu Ling had to intervene twice will only make her feel her contribution is helpful, not a burden.

After some thought, Su Hui felt that it might be better to let Gu Ling participate now. Qian Ying must be extremely hateful towards Gu Ling by now. Instead of keeping Gu Ling in ignorance, why not let her know some things and be prepared?

Though this still relied on Gu Fan’s decision, Su Hui could only promise to discuss it with Gu Fan, provided Gu Ling wouldn’t make a fuss in the meantime.

"Thank you, Sister Su, I knew you were the best to me." Gu Ling cheered happily, directly hugging Su Hui’s neck. This alarmed Su Hui, who was driving, nearly causing her to lose control of the vehicle. She sighed, thinking that this child really knows how to keep her on her toes.

"Xiaoling, you really are..." Su Hui scolded, with Gu Ling quickly apologizing, "I’m sorry, Sister Su, I was just too excited, I was wrong. Please forgive me, and please don’t break your promise, please, I beg you." Gu Ling pleaded earnestly, hands clasped together.

"You are really impossible." Having said this, Su Hui couldn’t help but laugh.
