Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Can’t Stand the Sight

The Black Bird discovered, when trying to please Gu Lingling, its master’s expression turned so gentle it could almost drip water; it was the first time he looked at it like this.

But as for that little girl, well, considering she was kind and self-aware and somewhat decent-looking, it reluctantly accepted her.

After all, she was the future mistress.

The Black Bird flatteringly pushed its favorite fruits towards Gu Lingling; these fruits could make a girl’s skin increasingly radiant, considered a benefit for its master.

Yang Yunhai smiled and casually wove a garland, his fingers were very slender, and the garland woven by his nimble fingers was particularly beautiful, which left Gu Lingling quite astounded today.

He placed the garland on her head, and Yang Yunhai unabashedly praised, ”Truly beautiful.”

Gu Lingling blushed and whispered a thank you before running to the spring to admire her reflection; she indeed looked very pretty in the water.

The two played at the valley bottom for quite a while, and it wasn’t until the last rays of the sunset had almost disappeared that Yang Yunhai led Gu Lingling out of the valley.

”Won’t this place be seen by others?” Gu Lingling asked.

Although they stumbled into it by accident, Gu Lingling selfishly wished to keep it as their secret base, not wanting others to trespass.

”Don’t worry, no one will notice it,” Yang Yunhai glanced at a certain bird napping in the tree; with it around, it wouldn’t let anyone else in.

”Learn well from Mr. Zhou,” Yang Yunhai said, ruffling Gu Lingling’s hair with a smile, ”I’ll bring you here again in a few days for fresh air.”

Gu Lingling smiled sweetly, today was the happiest and most joyful day since her rebirth.

”You don’t need to worry about Wang Meili,” Yang Yunhai still couldn’t resist admonishing her, ”Don’t let a filthy rat ruin the Jade Bottle; your task now is to be happy.”

”Brother Yang, Wang Meili can still stay at the transformer factory, did you arrange for someone to do that?” Gu Lingling suddenly remembered Gu Chunhai mentioning the transformer factory’s solution to the Li Jiang incident.

Upon hearing that Zhang Hongling replaced Li Jiang’s job and Wang Meili was assigned to a workshop or team, Gu Lingling wondered if Yao Zhenjiang had orchestrated it behind the scenes.

But she later dismissed the idea, believing her grandfather would disdain such methods, provided Wang Meili behaved and stopped causing trouble.

She kept wondering which benefactor was so wise to have helped her so greatly, never expecting that the benefactor was standing right in front of her.

But why?

Yang Yunhai was someone destined for great things, a renowned figure; why would he concern himself with the affairs of a small person like her, helping her so diligently?

”There’s no reason why,” Yang Yunhai said while sticking his hands in his pockets, gazing at the lowered head of Gu Lingling, ”Does disliking them count?”

As a result, the little ostrich buried its head even lower.

Yang Yunhai laughed heartily, waved at her, and then drove off swiftly.

Gu Lingling behind him, ”...”

Only after the car lights were out of sight did she head inside.

Alone at night, she found herself unable to sleep.

Yang Yunhai’s every move played like a movie in her mind, swaying back and forth.

Especially his gaze as he was leaving.

If Gu Lingling were just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she might not understand the meaning in that gaze.

But having lived another life, how could she not understand?

But why?
