C295 You Can Withdraw the Charges

"I understand." Tao Ning couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "I understand that you have good intentions. Don't worry. I didn't misunderstand. If you want to say anything to me in the future, feel free to say it boldly. You don't have to worry about it."

She was not the kind of person who loved to misinterpret other people's good intentions. She could tell that Fei Aoting really cared about her. Now that even her father had left her, she was very grateful to have someone who cared about her by her side.

"Really?" After Fei Aoting saw Tao Ning nod her head, she said what she wanted to say in her heart. But she said what she had not said all the time, "Actually Miss Jiyue, I can see that you still care about Gu Zhengchu in your heart. But he is not a good person. You should forget about him as soon as possible. Doing this is good for both you and the child."

From the perspective of half an assistant and half a maid, she should not have said these words. But since Tao Ning had said so, she still wanted to say these words to her.

Tao Ning was slightly startled. The place in her heart that she had tried her best to hide. It was as if a hole had suddenly opened up and the secrets inside had all come out. She really did not think that Fei Aoting would actually see through her thoughts in one go and see through it so accurately.

Even when she thought that she only had hatred towards Gu Zhengchu, Fei Aoting still saw through her concern. And her heart actually moved a little. She was not indifferent. That meant that Fei Aoting had hit the mark. She really cared about him.

Seeing that she lowered her head and did not speak, Fei Aoting's heart started to panic, "Miss Jiyue, did I say something wrong? Sorry, if I said something wrong, please don't blame me."

"No, I am not trying to blame you." Hearing Fei Aoting's panicked words, Tao Ning looked up and smiled at her. "I am just thinking about how you were so excited about Anjie's words just now. Are you still concerned about it?"

Just like how she would feel uncomfortable and excited because of Gu Zhengchu's unpleasant words, Fei Aoting also felt the same way about Anjie, right?

"I..." When Fei Aoting heard this, the expression on her face immediately changed greatly. More panic. She got up and walked to the window. She opened a window and let the wind outside surge in. She kept her mind clear.

Tao Ning was very surprised that she would have such a big reaction, so she kept staring at her for a long time until Fei Aoting returned to normal and replied to her.

"I don't care about him, I just hate him."

Not care or hate? Not hate, but hate?

Actually, these words seemed to be of different degrees, but they were not the same. When used on a person, it was always used to care about that person. If you didn't care about that person, you wouldn't be annoyed by his words and actions. Or even hate, or at a loss for what to do.

In that case, she and Fei Aoting were in the same boat. However, her and Fei Aoting's identities no longer allowed her to publicize that relationship. Just like how she was now Wei Jiyue and could no longer be together with Gu Zhengchu. Fei Aoting and Anjie each had their own master. When they met, they could only stare with red eyes. How could they be together again?

Tao Ning did not expose Fei Aoting and did not continue this topic. Just treat this as a secret between the two of them.

Perhaps there will be a day when they will meet such a person that will make them forget their past feelings and pain and start anew. Or perhaps they didn't need to meet anyone. As long as the time was up, the feeling would naturally fade away and they would be relieved.

It was just that she didn't know if she should look forward to that day.

In order not to make Tao Ning worry, Wei Tingjun sent out many people to look for Tao Dayu. Of course, this was only what he wanted Fei Aoting to say in front of Tao Ning. In fact, he did not know how much he wanted Tao Dayu to never show up.

He had not found his father. On the other side, he still had to deal with the trial again and again. Tao Ning was really mentally and physically exhausted. Fei Aoting saw it but did not dare to say anything to her. If Tao Ning knew that Wei Tingjun did not send anyone to find Tao Dayu, she would only feel even more unbearable.

The news of Tao Dayu's disappearance somehow reached Gu Zhengchu's ears. After the Heavenly Court trial, Tao Ning was stopped by Gu Zhengchu on the way out.

"Good dog doesn't block the way!" Tao Ning said coldly. She was not in the mood at all and did not want to get entangled with him anymore.

"He is getting more and more sharp-tongued." Gu Zhengchu looked at her from the corner of his eye. After he mocked her, his eyes became serious again. "Where is your father? I don't think I've seen him for a long time."

Ever since her father left, Tao Ning's heart would be lifted whenever anyone mentioned her father. This time was no exception. It was just that her heart was filled with anger. "Do you really want to see my father that much? But he doesn't want to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Ning lifted her foot and was about to leave. Gu Zhengchu stood behind her and asked, "Then did he leave because he didn't want to see you?"

" You... What do you know? " Tao Ning turned around and looked at him angrily.

This bastard, how did he know that his father had already left? How did he know?

"As expected, your father has already escaped, right?" Gu Zhengchu approached Tao Ning and looked at her with a smile and a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"Of course not. My dad is at home now. He did not do anything that was against the law. Why did he run away?" Tao Ning quickly hid the fear on her face and did not let Gu Zhengchu see anything.

She would not admit that her father had left. If Gu Zhengchu knew, he might take the opportunity to make a move on her father, so Tao Ning tried to cover it up.

But the smile on her face was so unnatural. Gu Zhengchu saw it and naturally would not ignore it.

However, he sighed without batting an eyelid. "I thought the rumors were true! If your father really escaped, then what's the point of me persisting? Could it be that I'll send you to prison? I don't think such a thing is allowed to happen now, right?"

Nonsense! No matter what, such a thing was not allowed to happen.

"Do you mean that you can consider withdrawing the lawsuit?" Tao Ning understood what he meant. It seemed like that was what he meant, but was it possible?

"If your father really escaped, I can consider it." Gu Zhengchu made a thoughtful gesture and answered her.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Tao Ning laughed.

This was definitely not true. Gu Zhengchu just wanted to use this to get the truth out of her. If she answered that her father had left, he would not be able to tell the truth.

"Of course you don't believe it now because your father didn't escape, right?" Gu Zhengchu's smiling eyes swept across Tao Ning's face.

Tao Ning was speechless. Gu Zhengchu looked at her meaningfully and walked past her.
