Chapter 4 He fell ill

Luming and Lin Miaoyuan were clearly dressed up for the occasion, with Luming in a suit and Lin Miaoyuan in a lace dress.

 They looked particularly well-matched.

When Luming saw Gu Ling, who was dressed in such a plain outfit, he immediately frowned and asked angrily, "Why did you come dressed like this?"

"What I wear has nothing to do with you," Gu Ling replied lazily, arms crossed.Luming's tone was harsh as he warned her,

"Gu Ling, I'm warning you. Don't embarrass me tonight. In other people's eyes, you're still my wife. If you dare to make a scene, you're done for!"

His words were accompanied by a surge of anger in his chest.

Meanwhile, Lin Miaoyuan played the role of the good guy, gently persuading him, "Ah Ming, don't be like this.

Maybe Miss Gu didn't have time to change into a formal dress?

I have some other dresses in my room, and they're all pretty nice.

Why don't you go upstairs with me and change into one?"

Her words were intellectual and generous.

Those who didn't know would have thought that Lin

Miaoyuan was so kind and tolerant.

In fact, she was provoking Gu Ling and showing off.

In just three days, she had replaced Gu Ling and officially moved into the Luming household as the mistress of the house!

Unfortunately, Lin Miaoyuan had picked the wrong person to show off to.

To Gu Ling, not only was Luming insignificant, but even a hundred Luming households were nothing compared to her achievements in her former life as a special agent!

"It's completely irrelevant!" Gu Ling replied, arms crossed and unapologetic.

"No need, you can keep your dirty clothes for yourself!" Her words were merciless, causing Lin Miaoyuan's face to darken and even making Lu Ming's expression stiffen.

"Gu Ling, you..." He began to angrily retorting, but was interrupted by the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Young master, young madam, you've finally arrived. The old master asked me to wait here and bring you to him in the backyard," said Liu Ma, the maid of the Lu family.

Lu Ming was afraid of revealing his plan to divorce Gu Ling to the old master, so he remained silent and followed Gu Ling, who had one hand in her pocket, as they were led by Liu Ma to the backyard.

As they entered the backyard, they could already hear the old master's anxious cries for Dr. Xu.

"Where's Dr. Xu? Hurry up and find him for me! Save him!" he shouted.

Soon, a panicked servant rushed past them, and as they approached,

 they saw a handsome man sitting on a bench with a pale face and long, narrow eyelashes fluttering slightly even as he closed his eyes.

Despite his sickly appearance, he was still as beautiful as a god."It's him!"

Gu Ling narrowed her eyes, surprised to see him here.

But he looked quite terrible at the moment...

Lan Lingxiao's face was pale, and his slender, fair hand was pressed against his chest as he breathed heavily.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be suffering from an attack of illness.

She wondered why he was here today and what his identity was.

Looking around, she saw many people, including Mrs. Lu, who had led the attack on her on the day of her rebirth.

But today, perhaps because of the presence of Old Master Lu, Mrs. Lu dared only to stand aside and glared at her without making a scene.

After looking around, she didn't see Qin Yu, Lu Lingxiao's personal bodyguard from that day.

"Hmm?"

Even though he was breathing heavily, the man's aura was the most dazzling among the people present.

With just a light hum, his innate field from the depths of his soul made the people around him feel a sense of danger.

Lan Lingxiao raised his slightly narrowed black eyes, apparently noticing Gu Ling's presence, but his current physical condition did not allow him to say much.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Ming was stunned, looking at Lan Lingxiao's face, he was so frightened that he couldn't say anything else.

Of course, what he was frightened of was not Lan Lingxiao's physical condition.

And yet...

Who is Lu Lingxiao?

A man who, in the eyes of the world, is like a demon and a god.

Unlike the Lu family's status in Haiyun City, this man is ruthless and cruel, and is a figure who straddles both the black and white sides of the international world.

His legends and deeds are endless, taking three days and three nights to recount.

He has his hands in 50% of the world's legitimate business, and even 30% of the black market arms trade is connected to him.

If something were to happen to him at the Lu family patriarch's birthday banquet...

All of his subordinates are not to be trifled with!

Because of him, the entire Lu family, including the guests present today, will be affected!

The entire room fell silent.

"Cough!"

It was at this moment that Lu Lingxiao suddenly clutched his chest with one hand.

A sudden and intense pain caused his forehead veins to bulge, and after a dry cough, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from the corners of his thin lips.

The crimson blood flowed down his chin and splattered onto his pure white shirt, creating a red stain.

He lifted his head slightly and looked towards Gu Ling, his sickly and beautiful face resembling a messenger returned from the darkness.

If one were to describe it, the sickly Lu Lingxiao at this

moment had a desire to protect him.Just like...

Her beloved pet from her past life was a fierce African tiger.

The thought of her pet, who was once a ferocious hunter in the jungle, now lying on her deathbed, transformed into a docile kitten, cuddling up to her and gazing at her, waiting for her to pass away.

Its eyes were so similar to the ones of Lu Lingxiao at this moment...

Gu Lingxin's heart stirred, and she walked towards Lu Lingxiao step by step.

"Lingxiao, how do you feel?"

"Doctor? Where is Dr. Xu? Get Dr. Xu for me!"

Lu's grandfather slammed his cane on the ground, shouting.

Unfortunately, the servant who came back with the news was not Dr. Xu, but someone who went to look for him.

"They said Dr. Xu took a day off today! He just returned from the countryside this morning, and it will take at least an hour and a half to get here from there..."

Bang!

This sentence was like a thunderbolt that exploded on the ground, bombarding everyone's forehead around.

Lu's house was located halfway up the mountain, far from the city center.

 The only family doctor was not here, and it would take at least two hours to find another doctor from the city.

With such a sudden illness, waiting for the doctor to arrive would be too late!

"What should we do? We're done for! We're really done for!"

"Oh my god, is this how life ends? I don't want to die! I don't want to be dealt with by that terrifying group of his!"

"Help! Can anyone save me!"

Just as everyone's faces turned pale and they were at a loss for what to do, a voice as melodious as a heavenly song suddenly rang out -

It was Gu Ling, who had previously gone unnoticed, but had somehow appeared in front of Lu Lingxiao.

In front of everyone, she playfully lifted his chin and said word by word, "I can cure his illness!"

At the sound of her voice, everyone in the room seemed to have heard a bomb go off, and sparks flew everywhere.

The previously anxious atmosphere suddenly came to a halt, replaced by a pair of eyes glaring fiercely at Gu Ling.

After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke up, "Isn't this the useless Miss Gu from the Gu family? What is she doing here causing trouble at a time like this?"

They were all on the verge of going crazy, and now Gu Ling had the nerve to come over and spout nonsense.

 What was she thinking?

"A useless person like her dares to speak such arrogant words, saying she can save someone? This is a huge joke!"

"Get out! Useless person, get out of the way!"

The crowd became restless once again.

On the other hand, Lu Ming had been scared out of his wits when Gu Ling spoke up.

It wasn't until Lin Miaoyuan pulled him aside that he regained his senses.

What was she thinking, making such a scene at a time like this?

Was she afraid of not getting his attention?

"Gu Ling, what are you doing?!"

"Shut your mouth and get out of here!"

Gu Ling didn't even look at him, her eyes fixed on Lu Lingxiao.

The man's breathing was getting weaker...

He couldn't hold on much longer.

Ignoring the shouts of the people around her, Gu Ling said coldly:

"Now, only I can save him!"

What an arrogant statement!

Even Lu's usually kind grandfather looked serious, "Xiao Ling, this is not the time to mess around!"

"Miss Gu, now is not the time for jokes. Everyone is anxious, don't make things worse!" Lin Miaoyuan chimed in, her eyes full of mockery.

The insults continued.

For a moment, all eyes were onGu Ling.

"You little slut, it's been a few days since you've been beaten, and you're itching for it, aren't you?"

"Before, it was okay to seduce men, but now, you dare to even think about Lu Lingxiao.

You're nothing but a shameless whore! I'll beat you to death here today!"

Lu's wife couldn't take it anymore and stood up, ready to strike Gu Ling.

No one noticed that Gu Ling's eyes were gradually turning cold.

However, just as everyone was staring at Gu Ling with ridicule, anger, and contempt, Lu's wife raised her hand to strike Gu Ling on the forehead.

I saw only--
