Chapter 101 Are you trying to blackmail me?
Gu Yimin followed Ye Chi to a quieter place, and the two stood facing each other. Ye Chi was very tall, and standing next to him was a bit stressful, so Gu Yimin took two steps back.
Ye Chi still had a smile on his face, but it wasn't as strong as before. He asked, "Comrade Gu Yimin, do you know Ye Xingjian?"
Gu Yimin didn't expect him to ask this question. She was surprised and a little wary at the same time.
Ye Xingjian came to Shanshui Town from nowhere a few years ago. She was a junior high school student there. One day, because the class monitor wrote her a love letter, she was stopped by several girls in her class who wanted to attack her.
At the critical moment, someone shouted, and the girls thought someone was coming and ran away.
After everyone ran away, she looked back and saw an old man wearing a Zhongshan suit with many patches and looking very skinny.
Gu Yimin had seen him before. He wasn't from Shanshui Town, but had come here for some reason. Under the circumstances at the time, most people wouldn't dare approach them easily, so she didn't dare to talk to him much either. She just said thank you and ran away.
Two days later, the town called those people out for a meeting, and she learned that the man who helped her was Ye Xingjian. In those years, everyone said that those people were not good people.
She was young at the time and couldn't tell which words were right and which were wrong. However, it was true that Ye Xingjian helped her. He couldn't be a bad person if he could help a stranger.
Later, out of gratitude, or perhaps sympathy, when Ye Xingjian was seriously ill, she secretly gave him medicine several times. She would put it at Ye Xingjian's door and then leave without daring to speak to him.
After that, she never saw Ye Xingjian again in town. She didn't know if he had been in trouble or had gone home. For the first few days, she was a little worried about his "disappearance," but over time, she forgot about it. After all, he wasn't her closest relative.
So many years had passed, and she had almost forgotten that person, but she didn't expect to be asked about him again today.
Gu Yimin didn't know whether the incident with Ye Xingjian was over. If she asked him if getting to know her would have an impact on herself and her family, would it?
Seeing that she had remained silent, Ye Chi chuckled and said, "It seems we know each other."
Gu Yimin felt that talking to a cunning person was a terrifying experience. You see, they could already guess what you said without even saying anything. And just now, he had gotten Zhao Xue to admit that she had pushed Tong Lu in just a few words.
Looking up at him, Gu Yimin remained silent. I won't say anything, what can you do to me?
Ye Chi thought this little girl was really interesting. She was brave, stubborn, and a bit smart. He suddenly wanted to tease her, so he said, "I have something that should be with you. When will you give it back to me?"
Gu Yimin was really shocked this time. How could she possibly have his things when they first met? Moreover, even if he had a relationship with Ye Xingjian, she had never taken anything from Ye Xingjian!
Are you trying to blackmail someone?
Ye Chi saw her eyes wide open, her mouth slightly open, looking adorable. He clenched his right fist and placed it under his nose to hide the upturned corners of his lips. Then he lowered his hand and said, "Can't remember? Then go back and think about it. This is none of your business, go back."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, then entered Tong Lu's ward. Gu Yimin pursed her lips and turned around to walk out. When they reached the door of Tong Lu's ward, Luo Yongnian came out and whispered to her, "I'll take you there."
Gu Yimin felt that it was better to make some things clear to him. She really didn't have any feelings for him anymore. It was too troublesome. If it weren't for him, how could she have suffered such an unprovoked disaster?
But it is undeniable that Luo Yongnian is a good person. Whether he saved her at the beginning or used fake marriage to help Tong Lu this time, it shows that he is a good person.
Such a good person can be appreciated and admired, but it is better not to live with him. Just like Zhuang Xueming and Zhao Xue, it is true that Zhao Xue has evil intentions, but in this incident, Zhao Xue did suffer a great injustice.
If she were dating Luo Yongnian and he were to have a fake marriage with Tong Lu, she would be very sad. She admitted that she was selfish and could not sacrifice herself for others.
The two walked one in front and the other behind, with Gu Xueqiang following not far behind.
When they got outside, the two found a secluded place to talk, and Gu Xueqiang stood two meters away.
"I never had the chance to thank you before," Gu Yimin spoke first, "Thank you so much for that time."
Even though she had suffered an unexpected disaster because of Luo Yongnian, Gu Yimin was still grateful to him for saving her. Without his help, she might not have such a relaxed life now.
If Zhao Erhai had succeeded at that time, she would not have been able to get over the hurdle in her heart even if she did not marry him.
"No need. If you encounter one, you should take action." Luo Yongnian said, "I'm very sorry about what happened this time."
Gu Yimin hummed a sound. Let's put things in perspective. He should indeed apologize to her for this incident.
"I hope you can explain what happened between us to your comrades and friends," Gu Yimin looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I don't want anyone to misunderstand our relationship in the future."
She thought Tong Lu was really sick. Even if you found out that Luo Yongnian looked at me a few more times, what does that mean?
Luo Yongnian clenched his fists. He instinctively felt that this might be his last chance to confess his feelings to her. He said, "I really like you. I hope you can give us a chance to get to know each other."
Tong Lu's pregnancy had been exposed, and her parents would soon find out. The next thing he had to do was to get Brigadier General Tong and his wife to agree to let Tong Lu give birth to the child. As long as they agreed to the birth of the child, the household registration would not be a problem.
In fact, one of the reasons why Tong Lu proposed the fake marriage was to hide it from her parents.
Now that he didn't have to pretend to get married, he felt like he could consider his feelings for Gu Yimin.
"I'm sorry, I don't think we're suitable." Gu Yimin was very calm. It had been almost half a year since she first started to have vague feelings for him. The feelings that were not strong to begin with had long since faded to almost nothing. After going through this incident, there was nothing left.
"You are really a good person," Gu Yimin added, "My father is not in Lizhou these days. When he comes back, let him formally thank you."
Gu Jianguo had always remembered Luo Yongnian's rescue and wanted to thank him properly, but he had never had the chance. Gu Yimin also felt that verbal thanks were too insignificant and that a generous gift was the right thing to do. Of course, Gu Jianguo was the one who did it.
For the first time, Luo Yongnian felt that the words "You are a good person" did not sound so pleasant. He did not expect Gu Yimin to refuse so bluntly.
However, he couldn't do anything like pestering a girl, or he felt that his love for Gu Yimin was not enough to make him pursue her desperately even after being rejected.
"I understand." Luo Yongnian said and walked away. Gu Yimin also turned around and went back to the store with Gu Xueqiang.
