Chapter 90 Fulfilling 15

The next day, Qu Changlin drove his wife to the shop. She hadn't been there for over a month, and as the boss, she had to show up. But as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Madam Gu waiting at the door.

Upon hearing her explain her purpose, Ning Yan realized that she had completely forgotten the torrential rain that had claimed the original owner's life and the life of her unborn child.

However, in the previous life, the original owner died in that rainstorm. How come in this life, Hu Weihong died while Gu Jianguo was half-dead?

Yes, Hu Weihong is dead. When they found her, she was already floating in a buoy.

After this woman was released from prison, she went back to find Gu Jianguo. Since they hadn't divorced, Gu Jianguo had to support her, and he did. However, one of them slept at home while the other slept at the factory.

She simply gave up and did nothing all day. Anyway, Gu Jianguo gave her a lot of money. She hired a nanny. On the third day of the rainstorm, the nanny was so worried about the family that she took leave. Not long after she left, the group of people who had killed the original owner with a hammer in the previous life appeared. They also killed Hu Yuhong with a hammer.

According to Madam Gu, the group of thieves and murderers have been arrested, and their fate will certainly be to die without ever being fed.

Gu Jianguo fainted from exhaustion after soaking in the water for too long. The Gu family took him back to the capital for treatment. After he woke up, he asked to see Ning Yan. As his biological mother, what could Madam Gu do?

So she came.

Qu Changlin had a dark expression on his face ever since he met Madam Gu, and when he heard that she wanted his wife to visit her ex-husband, his face darkened even more.

What upset him the most was that his wife agreed!

Ning Yan wanted to see Gu Jianguo mainly to see him make a fool of himself. The original owner of this body died in her previous life, so why didn't Gu Jianguo die?

So, before the two entered the ward, Ning Yan linked arms with Qu Changlin and even pressed her whole body against him. Their intimacy was so obvious that even a dog could tell they had a very good relationship.

Qu Changlin: ...Suddenly I'm not so angry anymore? I was originally planning to tease my wife tonight, but now I think I'll just give her a break, hmm, no more!

"Ning Yan, you, you've come..."

The words faded as he saw Qu Changlin being linked arms with Ning Yan, and suddenly his eyes welled up with tears…

Some things are already certain: Ning Yan must have dreamt about her past life just like him, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly changed her personality and insisted on divorcing him.

It's all his fault. For the sake of a complete stranger, he actually locked his own wife in solitary confinement. Those days were so cold, and she was dressed so lightly. He must have been frozen unconscious just like her, and then he had memories of his previous life.

"Mom, you can go out now."

Madam Gu said nothing and went straight out.

Gu Jianguo looked at Ning Yan: "Could you ask him to leave for a moment? I... I have something to say to you."

Ning Yan shook her head: "I won't be alone with other men, it would make my husband sad."

Besides, we have no secrets between us, so go ahead and tell me, I'm listening.

She admitted that she said it on purpose, because Gu Jianguo was so inconsiderate and had been getting along so closely with other women while keeping it a secret from his partner!

Gu Jianguo looked at Ning Yan, then gave a self-deprecating laugh. Yes, it was all his fault, all his fault...

"During the days I was unconscious, I had a dream in which you and I were not divorced."

Because of Hu Weihong, we have had many misunderstandings, which has also ruined your reputation in the family compound and even the factory.

But I've always thought it was your fault, that you didn't understand me. I was just helping a friend; after all, my family isn't short of money. I never thought what I did was wrong...

Later, you died in that torrential rain. Because I helped Hu Weihong first, when I came back to pick you up, I found your body, three months pregnant...

So, you had the same dream as me?

Ning Yan chuckled softly, "What's the purpose of telling me this? Are you trying to say that you love me?"

The truth is that you only have Hu Weihong in your heart. You don't love Ning Yan at all. Because if you love someone, you will trust her unconditionally and won't blame your lover just because someone else says something!

The reason you look so regretful now is simply because the woman who used to love you so much no longer wants you.

It's hard for anyone to get used to suddenly losing someone who revolves around you all day and only has you in their heart; it's just that your discomfort lasted a little longer.

Do you dare say that you didn't end up with Hu Weihong in your dream?

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, Yan Yan, can you forgive me? Please forgive me."

Meeting Ning Yan's icy gaze, Gu Jianguo understood that Ning Yan would never forgive him!

Gu Jianguo quickly lowered his head because he couldn't hold back his tears, and he didn't want Ning Yan to see him break down.

In his dream, after Ning Yan passed away, Hu Weihong came to bring him soup and cook for him. He drank some wine that day and got drunk. When he woke up the next day, Hu Weihong was lying next to him.

The two eventually got their marriage certificate...

Judging from his expression, Ning Yan already knew the outcome. "Stop pretending to be a Casanova. If you keep doing it, you'll even fool yourself!"

Gu Jianguo wanted to say no, he knew his feelings for Ning Yan, he really liked her, but he couldn't say it. If he liked her, why didn't he believe her? Why did he always hurt her with cold words?

He couldn't understand why either...

Perhaps, as Ning Yan said, he even deceived himself.

...

On the way home, Ning Yan noticed that Qu Changlin was silent and assumed he was angry. She was the type of person who didn't like to stay up overnight when she was angry, and she preferred to resolve things on the spot, otherwise it would affect her nightlife.

So, she decided to try to appease him.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry that I came to see Gu Jianguo?"

As you can see, I came to see him to make him angry. Believe me or not, he'll definitely be so upset he won't be able to sleep tonight!

Right now, you're the only one in my heart, not him!

Qu Changlin grasped Ning Yan's hand, which was resting on her lap, and kissed it. "No, I just feel sorry for you. I was thinking about what he said, that you died in the rainstorm in your dream. How scared you must have been then..."

"Yanyan, thank you so much! Thank you for making the decisive decision to divorce him, which gave us the opportunity to meet. Otherwise, I would have missed out on you in this lifetime!"

Ning Yan was relieved; it was good that he wasn't angry. Besides, coaxing someone takes a lot of brainpower.

"Hmph, shouldn't you be happy to have missed out on me? You'll find me a nuisance sooner or later, and you might even regret not wanting me someday!"

Qu Changlin hurriedly said, "No, how could that be? I did all those things willingly. I didn't find them troublesome at all. On the contrary, I felt that every day was very fulfilling. I'm telling you, Yan Yan, you have to believe me!"

Everything he said was true. Given their family's current circumstances, he could easily hire a nanny if he found it too tiring, but he didn't want to. Just thinking about how he washed the clothes his wife wore, cooked the meals she ate, and even polished her shoes made him happy, because every little thing about his wife was related to him.

Ning Yan chuckled, "Alright then, I'll allow Xiao Linzi to continue serving me! Hahaha..."

Qu Changlin: ...When I get home, I'll let my wife know whether he's a eunuch or not!

Four years later, a large area of ​​land along Chang'an Avenue was bought by a wealthy tycoon. The properties that Ning Yan and Qu Changlin bought were all in that area and were also within the scope of demolition.

Ning Yan didn't intend to cause trouble or ask for more money, but since all her properties were in key locations, she still made a small request.

The person in charge thought she was asking for an exorbitant amount and there was no way they would agree. So, after a heated argument, Ning Yan finally exchanged her properties for a relatively large piece of land on the edge of Chang'an Avenue and received some compensation for the demolition. Again, it was all because her properties were in a good location and were large in area.

She and Qu Changlin then found a way to buy some land in the surrounding area. After nearly ten years of development, they built a small commercial district. The tallest building in the district is the 42-story Ning's Building. The jewelry company moved in quickly. Apart from the few floors occupied by the jewelry company, all the other floors were rented out, and the annual rent was a significant source of income.

In the following years, Ning Yan used all her spare funds to buy houses and land. She and Qu Changlin already had two children. Their eldest daughter was nine years old, had a very high IQ, and was also very beautiful. As expected, she would take over the family company.

As for her son, who is two years younger than her, he is a bit of a worry, because this kid doesn't want to do anything all day long and just wants to lie down.

Fortunately, their son has a handsome face, so the couple isn't worried that no one will want him. Besides, his sister is there to look after him, so they're not afraid he'll starve.

Ning's Jewelry has made a name for itself, with 32 branches not only in Beijing but also across the country, and Ning Yan has become a well-known wealthy woman.

After surviving, Gu Jianguo sold the textile factory and returned to Beijing. He had a good business sense and opened a large supermarket, which later became a chain supermarket.

In 1997, Gu Jianguo's car was involved in a multi-vehicle collision on the highway while he was returning to Beijing. Both the driver and he died at the scene.

Before he died, Gu Jianguo thought of the time he picked Ning Yan up from the solitary confinement cell. He draped his clothes over Ning Yan's shoulders, but she ripped them off and threw them on the ground.

He hadn't noticed at the time, but now he remembered that Ning Yan seemed to have sniffed the clothes before throwing them away, and that the clothes had been worn by Hu Weihong before, so perhaps they had picked up her scent.
