Chapter 120 Betrayed

Gu Mian sees patients in the Chinese medicine clinic in the morning and goes out to see patients in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, she went to Ji's house first.

Mrs. Ji recovered well from the surgery, but emotionally, things were not so smooth.

She is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She could not accept her lover's betrayal, so she resolutely filed for divorce. Mr. Ji has already moved out.

Having been a wealthy wife for so many years, she is no pushover. She is determined to get Mr. Ji to divorce her and ask for half of the property.

She left all the divided property to her daughter, and the rest is in the hands of Mr. Ji. In the future, half of it will be given to her daughter, so that her daughter can control most of the Ji family's property without any worries.

After all, they had been together for many years, so Mr. Ji felt guilty and had no objection to this.

But her mother-in-law jumped out to stop her, saying that the family property was to be left to the grandsons, and that granddaughters would belong to someone else once they got married, and they did not deserve to share a penny of the family property.

Mrs. Ji was furious and became even more determined to fight for her daughter.

Gu Mian listened quietly to Mrs. Ji's crying, occasionally handing her tissues and saying a few words of comfort.

It's good for her to vent. What people fear most is having no place to vent and becoming depressed.

After Mrs. Ji finished crying, she took two sips of hot tea and felt much better.

"Gu Mian, I'm so sorry." Mrs. Ji said apologetically, "I asked you to listen to me and pass on these negative energies."

"It's good for your mood to speak out, and a good mood will make your body healthy, so it's also my job." Gu Mian smiled, "Besides, we are friends, and friends are there to accompany you when you need them. This is what I should do, but my ability is limited, so I can't help you in other ways."

"Not to mention you, there are not many people who can help me now." Mrs. Ji said, "A few wealthy wives who I usually get along well with did point me in the right direction, but it's a pity that it doesn't work at all."

"What road?"

"Since we can't get a peaceful divorce, we can only go to court. But I'm a housewife. If it really comes to that, how can I win against the Ji family? I heard that Old Ji's mother has already asked Old Ji to start transferring his property, so I have to find a lawyer to help me."

“Is it hard to find a lawyer?”

"It's easy to find a lawyer, but it's hard to find a lawyer who can win the case steadily. Have you heard of Lawyer Yan Mu?"

"no."

"You don't even know Yan Mu." Mrs. Ji was surprised. "He is the most famous lawyer in China. His studio is always crowded with people. It is said that there is no case he cannot win. If I can hire him as my attorney, my chances of winning will be great."

Gu Mian was curious, "So was this lawyer Yan Mu snatched away by Mr. Ji?"

"No, it's just that Attorney Yan has very high standards. All cases that come to him have to go through layers of screening, and he never takes divorce cases." Mrs. Ji looked worried. "Besides, he is not in the country. I contacted his studio, but was directly rejected. He said that even if he was in the country, he would not take divorce cases."

Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "Do you want me to ask Ting Shen if there are any good lawyers he can recommend to you?"

"Well, it's better to try a dead horse than to have no horse at all." Mrs. Ji took a sip of hot tea and said, "Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you. How have you been these days?"

Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips and said, "Very good."

Mrs. Ji joked, "You look fine, so I know everything is fine. Mr. Li didn't marry Yin Luoxue, so you two have reconciled?"

Gu Mian nodded, "Yeah."

"I heard that Mr. Li was kicked out of the Li Group because he broke off his marriage. Is that true?"

"Yes."

"The Li family is rich and powerful, and President Li is really courageous..." Mrs. Ji said to herself, "I originally thought that you and President Pei would have hope..."

Gu Mian didn't quite hear it, "What?"

Mrs. Ji suddenly realized what she had said and wanted to deny it, but she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you realize that Pei Jianchuan likes you?"

"How is that possible?" Gu Mian said without hesitation, "Jinchuan and I are just ordinary friends, and he loved his deceased wife deeply. Where did you hear such a thing? Don't say such nonsense."

"He admitted it himself," Mrs. Ji explained. "How could I lie to you?"

Gu Mian was stunned. "He admitted it himself?"

"Yes, he said it himself on the wedding day...but the premise is that you and President Li are divorced. Mr. Pei is gentle and has a positive outlook. He would not pursue you before your divorce. So I originally thought that he would be your first suitor after you and President Li divorced."

Gu Mian fell into deep thought.

"Gu Mian, are you okay?" Mrs. Ji asked, "Should I not say this? After all, you and Mr. Li are not divorced. But I think the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. You have the right to know Mr. Pei's attitude towards you."

"Thank you for telling me this." Gu Mian paused for a moment and said, "I just find it hard to believe. After all, his wife hasn't been dead for too long..."

"Gu Mian, I know what you want to say, but I want to advise you not to take feelings too seriously." Mrs. Ji said seriously, "I think it's good that Mr. Pei is doing this. He is moving on from the past in the shortest possible time and entering into the next relationship."

"As the old saying goes, a love that is too deep will never last forever. I am the best example. If I could do it again, I would never love Lao Ji so deeply..."

......

In the evening, Li Tingshen came to take care of me on time.

On the way home, Gu Mian asked Mrs. Ji the first thing she did, "Ting Shen, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you know any good lawyers that you can introduce to Mrs. Ji to help her with her divorce lawsuit?"

"Are they getting divorced?"

"Of course she wants a divorce. Mr. Ji has betrayed her and started a family and had children. Why not divorce her and keep her together for the New Year?"

Li Ting smiled deeply, "Who does she want to hire as her attorney?"

"He said there's a lawyer named Yan Mu who's very good, but he won't take her case, so he wants you to help him introduce her to a better lawyer. She can't be betrayed and bullied by her in-laws. She must get what she deserves."

"Okay, I'll help her look for one."

Gu Mian said happily, "I would like to thank you on behalf of Mrs. Ji."

Li Tingshen was in a good mood. "My wife has already asked for help. There is no reason for me not to help her."

"My hand injury has healed. To express my gratitude, I will cook for you tonight."

"good."

Although they ate at home these two days, they ordered meals.

The dishes ordered by Li Tingshen are all from high-end restaurants, and the ingredients and taste are very good.

But Gu Mian still likes to cook at home, which has the smell of smoke and more homely taste.

Gu Mian placed an order for fresh ingredients on the way home, and they were already delivered to his door when he got home.

She changed into home clothes, put on an apron, went into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Li Tingshen walked in and asked, "Do you need help?"

"No, you still need more rest for your back injury. Go lie down on the bed and rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"good."

Li Tingshen first went back to his room to take a shower, and then went to the study.

......

More than an hour later, Gu Mian knocked on the door and asked, "Didn't I tell you to lie down on the bed?"

Li Tingshen closed his computer and said, "I have something to deal with."

"It's time to eat."

"good."

The two of them came to the restaurant and ordered three dishes and a soup. Although the food was not as good as those outside, the dishes made by Gu Mian always suited Li Tingshen's appetite.

The two of them ate and chatted, and the night slowly fell amid their laughter.

I am busy with work during the day and have little time for exercise. When I have time at night, I will exercise in the gym at home.

When Li Tingshen opened the door and walked in, he saw Gu Mian practicing yoga in yoga clothes.

The close-fitting fabric outlines her exquisite figure, with her waist exposed.

Gu Mian is thin, but has a well-proportioned body, a slim waist, long legs, and glowing white skin.

She was completing a difficult move, which made Li Tingshen unable to help but imagine.

The man's Adam's apple rolled and he quickly closed the door.

He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he continued to watch.

Li Tingshen returned to his bed, picked up a book and started reading, trying to calm himself down.

He finally managed to see inside, but Gu Mian opened the door and came in at this moment, "Ting Shen, I want to discuss something with you."

She was still wearing her yoga clothes, with her fair and slender waist exposed, stimulating the man's visual nerves.

Li Ting's throat rolled, "What's the matter?"

"After the last time I was kidnapped, I felt that I was too weak. I want to learn some self-defense skills. Can you help me find a teacher?"

"You don't need it." Li Tingshen said, "I will protect you."

"I'm not your pendant. I can't be attached to you 24 hours a day." Gu Mian insisted on his own thoughts. "It's best if I can't use it, but if I really encounter any danger, it's worth it to be able to protect myself once. Don't you agree?"

"But it's usually men who teach self-defense."

Girls learn self-defense mainly to fight against men, and it is more practical to be taught by male coaches.

There will be a lot of physical contact during the teaching process.

Gu Mian understood that someone's possessiveness was playing tricks on him again.

But she still wanted to fight for it, "But I think learning this is very useful... or you can find a female coach to teach me."

Li Ting raised his eyebrows deeply, "Do you really want to learn it so much?"

Gu Mian shook his head like a garlic, "Hmm!"

"Then I'll teach you."

"you?"

"Why, do you think I can't teach you well?"

"No, no, no." Gu Mian explained hastily, "I just think you're too good, and I'm not necessarily a smart student, and I'm afraid you'll get angry if I teach you."

Li Tingshen chuckled, "Mrs. Li is quite self-aware."

Gu Mian curled her lips, but she was just being humble.

"It's settled then. The lessons will start tomorrow." Li Ting's eyes deepened. "But Mrs. Li, you have to pay the tuition first, huh?"

"Sure." Gu Mian agreed readily, "Name your price."

"You are so generous. I will not be polite."

Gu Mian was about to ask him how much he wanted, when the man suddenly came over and kissed her lips...
