Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1369 - There's Still a Chance!

Chapter 1369: There’s Still a Chance!

Xu Zhenyu was the most childish one in the clique and he would grab tightly onto the liquor bottle whenever he drank. That habit of his did not change even though he had been promoted to a Colonel. Ling Qingxuan would also cause a ruckus whenever he was drunk while Han Mofeng would act like a lunatic whom no one could control.

Gu Junling was the only one who would restrain himself from getting too drunk. Thus, it was Wen Xinya’s first time seeing him so drunk and vulnerable as he sat on the ground and bawled loudly like a big boy.

Wen Xinya suppressed herself from sounding too morose. She sent Gu Junling to a small apartment in Capital city. After much effort, she finally put him to sleep.

However, Wen Xinya felt extremely sympathetic towards him after seeing how miserable and flushed he was.

She dared not let him stay in the apartment alone at all. Hence, she called Ling Qingxuan and got him to come over. She chose to contact him because Xu Zhenyu and Han Mofeng had been rather busy lately and did not contact them for a long time.

“I’ll be there as soon as possible,” said Ling Qingxuan, who rushed there without hesitation after finding out that Gu Junling had gotten drunk.

Wen Xinya checked the refrigerator to see that there were still some ingredients, which she then used to cook some porridge.

At this moment, Gu Junling tossed and turned in bed while wailing in agony. He murmured, “Water, water…”

Wen Xinya frantically poured a gla.s.s of water and helped Gu Junling up to feed him the water. He finally stopped.

About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Wen Xinya frantically rushed to open the door because she knew that Ling Qingxuan had arrived.

Ling Qingxuan reeked of alcohol and female perfume. Clearly, he had been hanging out with some women. Everyone knew how much of a Casanova Ling Qingxuan was. Hence, Wen Xinya was touched to see that he had abandoned his girls for the sake of his drunk friend.

As soon as Ling Qingxuan entered, he asked in shock, “What happened to Little Eunuch Gu? Why did he get drunk all of a sudden? Did something go wrong between him and Tianyu?”

As Gu Junling’s friend, Ling Qingxuan knew him very well. He knew that something wrong must have happened because Gu Junling rarely got drunk.

Apart from Zhou Tianyu, he could not think of another reason.

Gu Junling’s only flaw was his obstinate personality.

It was no wonder that they were the best of buddies. Ling Qingxuan managed to sense that something was amiss as soon as he heard that his buddy had gotten drunk. “Go in and take a look at him. Clean his body and change him into a fresh set of clothes. He hasn’t been able to sleep well lately.”

Ling Qingxuan scurried towards the bedroom to see that Gu Junling was in a daze and was murmuring incoherently with a frown on his forehead. His heart dropped and he was plagued with an ominous feeling.

It was his first time seeing Gu Junling being so miserable. He was actually shocked.

He dared not procrastinate and immediately collected a pot of hot water, after which he wiped Gu Junling’s body down and helped him change into a fresh set of clothes. Gu Junling crawled towards the bed and began throwing up.

The disgusting contents of his vomit mixed with yellowish bile formed a daunting sight which was accompanied with the sounds of his barfing.

There was vomit all over the ground and the bed, and Gu Junling even ended up staining his fresh s.h.i.+rt. There was also some pungent vomit on Ling Qingxuan’s leg.

The unbearable stench filled the air in the room.

After a long ha.s.sle, Wen Xinya and Ling Qingxuan finally cleaned the room up and Gu Junling had also stopped.

Ling Qingxuan sat on the couch, clad in Gu Junling’s clothes. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Xinya, this is my first time seeing Gu Junling in such a disheveled state. Why… is Tianyu so cruel?”

He could not put his feelings into words. Even Ling Qingxuan was astonished to hear that Zhou Tianyu was going to leave the nation, leaving Gu Junling, who had been carrying a torch for her. How miserable must he have felt?

Knowing that he felt terrible, Wen Xinya asked softly, “Tianyu hasn’t left yet, has she? There’s still a chance.”

Having been friends with them for so many years, she naturally did not wish for Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling to end up in a sorry situation.

“Xinya, what has she done to Gu Junling? He has courted her for over a decade, not a few days, months or years. It’s more than a decade! She ought to have been touched by him. Is her heart really made of steel? Can’t she tell that he’s true to her?” said Ling Qingxuan, who used to think that it was only a matter of time before Zhou Tianyu and Ling Qingxuan got together with each other.

However, he did not expect that to be the outcome.

For the first time in his life, he began to resent Zhou Tianyu.

Ling Qingxuan got increasingly agitated. “What is she trying to do? She played him like a fool. Is there a point in that?”

Even a fool could tell that Zhou Tianyu had feelings for Gu Junling. He used to think that Zhou Tianyu had perhaps finally realized how much Gu Junling liked her. However, he felt disgusted at the thought of her ambiguous att.i.tude.

“Ling Qingxuan, watch your att.i.tude!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while screeching all of a sudden and staring at him with gloomy eyes.

Ling Qingxuan began to calm himself down, but he was still feeling incredibly frustrated.

Wen Xinya sneered. “Have you calmed down yet?”

She finally knew why Gu Junling called her instead of Ling Qingxuan during his most miserable moment. It was because… Ling Qingxuan was too emotional and he did not want him to criticize Zhou Tianyu even though she had hurt him.

Ling Qingxuan grabbed the gla.s.s of water in front of him and chugged it before saying, “I’m sorry, I was too agitated.”

Zhou Tianyu is my friend. I shouldn’t have said that about her. Besides, we’ve known each other for years and I should know what she’s like.

Wen Xinya said, “We still don’t know what happened yet. Take care of Gu Junling while I go see Tianyu. I’ll try to talk her around.”

Wen Xinya had no idea why Zhou Tianyu decided to harm Gu Junling like that. However, she knew that she definitely felt terrible about hurting Gu Junling.

“Don’t worry, leave Junling to me,” said Ling Qingxuan, who felt that he could trust Wen Xinya composedness. It was as if she could solve all problems.
