Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

The next day.

The slanting sun shone into the room, spilling over the long eyelashes.

Gu Tong shielded her eyes with one hand, feeling a bit dazzled. Supporting herself on the headboard with one hand, she sat up, her mouth dry.

As expected...

Her hangover always hit her afterwards. At first, it didn’t feel like much, but with a slight breeze, she started to feel dizzy.

Totally defeated by the dryness in her mouth, Gu Tong tidied herself up briefly, then got up and went downstairs.

At this time, Gong Qingwan had already gone to do SAP early.

Li Yan was disguised for a mission, hiding somewhere.

So, on the surface, there was no one in the Li Family villa.

Nanny He stood at the stairway respectfully and said, ”Young Madam, breakfast is ready. As instructed by the Young Master, it’s all light congee and small dishes.”

After all, Gu Tong drank yesterday, and her stomach was inevitably uncomfortable, so Li Yan was considerate and had the household help prepare easily digestible food in advance.

Now that it was mentioned, Gu Tong did feel a bit hungry. She smiled faintly and said, ”Thank you.”

It was natural for Nanny He to serve the master of the house, so she didn’t think much of it. She said, ”Young Madam, what time will you be going out?”

The Zhao Family’s lady hosting a banquet was already a well-known fact. All the family ladies were getting ready for it, and Gong Qingwan had gone out early to prepare for it, which Nanny He was naturally aware of.

Even though Gu Tong knew Li Yan was nearby, she had to act like she was waiting for her husband’s return, saying calmly, ”I’ll wait for Li Yan to come back before I decide.”

Nanny He nodded slightly, helping Gu Tong sit down, with a smile on her lips. She said, ”Young Madam, for your first time at such an event, it’s safer to go with the Eldest Young Master. It’s chaotic outside, Young Madam, you should be more cautious about safety.” As she spoke, she added a bowl of congee for Gu Tong and placed it on the table.

There it goes again.

”It’s chaotic outside, be cautious about safety.” Nanny He seemed to know in advance that something was going to happen, her reminder more like a well-intentioned warning.

Nanny He often gave her this subtle feeling, both openly and secretly.

According to common sense, Nanny He was Gong Qingwan’s confidante, so she shouldn’t be warning her, but those repeated phrases were no coincidence.

Even Gu Tong became suspicious and even started to doubt Nanny He’s identity.

When Gu Tong thought of this, she stirred the congee with a spoon, saying, ”Nanny He, you’re really considerate.”

Nanny He brought up a plate of small dishes, the smile on her lips never fading, and said, ”I’m an old hand in the house, serving the masters of the Li Family is my duty.”

The masters of the Li Family? Isn’t it Gong Qingwan?

Though it was just a polite remark, Gu Tong couldn’t help but overthink it.

The relationships in the Li Family were too complex. Whenever she encountered someone she could investigate, she would think a bit more.

Ever since she entered Shoucheng, her mind had been working nonstop, afraid to miss any useful information.

Nanny He arranged all the dishes and respectfully said, ”Young Madam, please enjoy. I’ll take my leave now.”

The motion of Gu Tong picking up the pickled vegetables paused briefly, as she said calmly, ”You go ahead.”

She didn’t want to delve deeper into Nanny He’s issues, and as she’d thought before, she’d take things one step at a time. Those who truly pledged loyalty to her would desperately show their dedication, without her needing to dig deep.

Besides, there was the Zhao Family banquet tonight, and perhaps Gong Qingwan had something up her sleeve. Gu Tong didn’t have much time to think about other things.
