She Lives without Regret in This Life

But Gu Yunbo is different; she believes in avenging her grievances and never entrusts her hatred to the illusory afterlife. The key is that she leaves so gracefully after her revenge, living strongly, even in a completely unfamiliar country.

”This person is deeply scheming and ruthless. She only let go of her mindset after taking revenge. If it were in the past, I wouldn’t have let you be friends with her,” Su Hai paused before continuing, ”Do you know who Gu Yunbo’s adoptive father is?”

”Who is it?”

”It’s the head assistant of our Chairman Meng, who was later sent out to be a group captain.”

”So, is that how Yun Bo knows Meng Fan?”

When mentioning Meng Fan, Su Hai’s expression became even more inscrutable, ”You even know that; indeed, she was extraordinary to Meng Fan, but when she was around, no one saw it. Later, when Gu Yunbo suddenly disappeared and Meng Fan looked everywhere for her, we realized she was indeed special—that’s how everyone in the compound came to know Gu Yunbo’s name.”

”You know what happened afterward. Meng Fan didn’t find her, went to the battlefield, and died. No one continued to search for Gu Yunbo, but you ended up meeting her.”

”So she won’t return to the country.” Regarding returning, Sheng Ning had a separate talk with Gu Yunbo, hoping she could return with her. After all, in this foreign land, Gu was all alone, and Sheng wasn’t at ease.

But Gu Yunbo refused without a second thought and was very firm. Now she could understand; if it were her, she wouldn’t return either.

Whether it’s her adoptive parents or Meng Fan, there’s something she can’t face.

”What are you all talking about? Why the long faces?” Gu Yunbo’s crisp voice suddenly sounded near, startling Sheng Ning, who somewhat guiltily avoided her gaze.

”Sheng Ning, are you feeling guilty?” Gu Yunbo asked suspiciously, ”Did you do something to wrong me?”

”No, you’re the one who’s feeling guilty!” Sheng Ning flatly denied it.

She glanced at Su Hai, clearly not convinced. With this sly fox around, who knows what was said about her behind her back! However, she wasn’t very concerned; she had been hearing bad words all her life.

”Family Head, someone just came to deliver an invitation for you.” Housekeeper Xing was busy with outside matters. The estate’s management had already changed to the little boy Feng Kai, who was previously used by Feng Xintong.

Despite his young age, after being brought out separately for training by Housekeeper Xing, he handled his supervisory duties with competence. All Feng Family’s young masters and ladies had been driven out, except for Feng Zhenzhen, and he was the only one left.

So Feng Kai could be considered to have turned misfortune into a blessing. Sheng Ning hadn’t mentioned it, but intended to keep him by her side for nurturing. If he proved to be someone with potential, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to become a pillar of the Feng Family in the future.

Feng Kai himself hadn’t realized it yet, but the entire Feng Family’s attitude toward him had changed, and he felt grateful. If not for Sheng Ning, he would have long been sacrificed due to Feng Xintong’s schemes.

Previously, the Feng Family had dozens of young masters, and though he was a master, he lived no better than a servant. Now he was the sole young master of the Feng Family; naturally, everything was different.

”Who is it?”

”They said it was an old friend of yours and left this invitation before leaving.” Feng Kai handed her the pale purple, gilded bilingual invitation, ”Because it’s an invitation from the Lincoln Art Center, I brought it in.”
