Chapter 135 Marriage First, Love Later

Mother Yang said, "It was the programmer who called me, not the gentleman."

Gu Mian didn't say anything else. She was having difficulty moving around now, and it was indeed much better with Yang's mother around.

"Madam, are you hungry? I'll go make you some midnight snack."

"I'm not hungry. Please help me wash up."

"yes."

After washing up, Gu Mian lay down on the bed, but his heart was in a mess.

She was very happy that Gu Xingzhi returned safely.

What made her uncomfortable was Li Tingshen.

The relationship between them seems to be getting more and more strained.

Is it really that difficult to live a good life?

Take a deep breath, try to drive away these chaotic thoughts, close your eyes and fall asleep.

......

The next morning.

Before Gu Mian got up, the doorbell rang.

Mother Yang went to open the door and saw a strange man standing outside. "Hello, may I ask who you are..."

"Gu Xingzhi, Gu Mian's friend."

"Hello, Mr. Gu. Our wife hasn't gotten up yet."

"It's okay. I'll wait for her to have breakfast together."

Mother Yang was just hesitating whether to let him in when she heard Gu's sleepy voice behind her, "Xingzhi."

"Mianmian."

"Come in quickly."

Mother Yang had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

"I brought you your favorite soup dumplings."

"Thank you."

The two of them went to dine together and chatted while eating.

"You should hurry up and get a new ID card."

"Okay." Gu Xingzhi smiled, "When did you become so long-winded?"

"By the way, give me your phone."

Gu Xingzhi unlocked his phone and handed it to her.

Gu Mian operated on his phone for a few times, then picked up his phone and operated, "I transferred some money to you on WeChat, you can use it first, and tell me if it's not enough."

"Mianmian, I have money."

"You just escaped from northern Myanmar, how much money can you have? Don't be polite to me."

Gu Xingzhi could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"That's right." Gu Mian said, "I've asked for two days off. When you're done with your work, come back here for lunch. I still have a lot to say to you."

"good."

......

While going out to buy groceries, Mother Yang secretly called Li Tingshen.

"Sir, a Mr. Gu came to see Madam early this morning. The two of them seemed to have a very good relationship. Not only did they have breakfast together, Madam also invited him to have lunch."

The man on the other end of the phone said coldly, "So?"

Mother Yang: “…”

What does so mean?

Mother Yang didn't know what to say for a moment. "If there are any special circumstances, I will report to my husband in time."

The next second, the call was hung up.

Mother Yang was a little confused.

Did she say something wrong?

This job is getting harder and harder!

While Mother Yang was preparing lunch, Gu Xingzhi came back.

Gu Mian asked, "Xingzhi, what are your plans for the future? What kind of job are you looking for?"

Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "The competition in the imperial capital is fierce, and I have a five-year gap. How can I possibly compete with others?"

Gu Mian felt very distressed.

Gu Xingzhi has been a genius since he was young and should have had an extremely bright future. However, because of this accident, his best five years were delayed.

"Xingzhi, there's still time for everything." Gu Mian paused and said, "You're so smart. I believe that no matter when you start over, your life will be wonderful."

"You should find a job first. With your strong learning ability, you will be able to integrate into society quickly."

"Mianmian, I will arrange these things myself, you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, I work at the Chinese Medicine Clinic, you can come see me anytime."

"I see."

Gu Mian originally wanted to know more about what happened to him over the years, but was afraid of bringing up bad memories, so he had to hold back.

......

Gu Mian rested at home for two days, and went back to work after his foot injury was completely healed.

Yan Mu called, "Ms. Gu, haven't you always wanted to meet the big boss of the skyscraper? He is going to hold a dinner this Sunday. I left two invitations for you. You can come with Su Mei."

Su Mei is Mrs. Ji's name.

Gu Mian agreed immediately, "Thank you, Attorney Yan. I will be there on time."

Although she was still in a cold war with Li Tingshen, she still wanted to go to the dinner to see if there was anything she could do for him.

"By the way, Attorney Yan, Sister Su Mei said she would treat the two of us to dinner on Friday night. Has she contacted you?"

"I've made the contact. I'll be there on time."

"See you Friday then."

"See you Friday."

Just after I hung up the phone, Mr. Lu Lang knocked on the door and came in, smiling and saying, "I heard from Mother Yang that you've been getting close to a handsome young man recently?"

"Master, why are you so gossipy?" Gu Mian laughed, "That's an old friend of mine who I lost contact with for many years. We just reunited recently, so I saw him more often."

"Mr. Li, do you have any objections?" Mr. Lu Lang asked, "I heard that you two have been quarreling ever since he accompanied you back to your hometown?"

Gu Mian did not deny it. "Because I know he was deceiving me. Master, do you know why he didn't let us check his pulse after he was injured? Because his kidneys were not injured at all, and he was not incapable of medical treatment."

"Really?" Mr. Lu Lang was shocked. "This is a good thing."

"But this is deception." Gu Mian pursed his lips.

"He probably did this to keep you by his side."

"I know, but later he had many opportunities to tell me the truth, but he didn't, which has always made me feel guilty and sad." Gu Mian lowered his eyes, "More importantly, he is obviously my husband, but he didn't treat my relatives as relatives. This is something I can't accept."

"Since I married him, I have always treated his family as my own, but I have never received the same treatment from him."

Mr. Lu Lang said, "I have known Mr. Li for quite some time. Although we have not had much contact, I have some understanding of his character."

"Maybe because he was born a proud child, his empathy is very weak, so I am not surprised at all when you say this."

Gu Mian's nose was sour. "Although Ting Shen and I have been married for more than three years, it seems that we have never understood each other."

"Now that I understand each other better, I realize that it is easier to get married than to get along with each other. It turns out that the hardest part of marriage is getting along after a deep understanding of each other."

"But this is the inevitable path of a marriage. Maybe you are destined to get married first and then fall in love."

"But even if we get married first and then fall in love, I am the one giving all the love." Gu Mian pulled the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly, "Can one-sided love really sustain a marriage?"

"Mianmian, Master has never been married, so I can't teach you how to manage a marriage, but Master knows that managing a relationship and a marriage is very difficult." Mr. Lu Lang patted her shoulder, "It's harder than your apprenticeship."

......

Friday came in a flash.

After get off work, Gu Mian went to the flower shop to pick up the flowers he had ordered in advance, and took a taxi to Su Mei's house.

Yan Mu has already arrived, but what Gu Mian didn't expect is that Li Tingshen is also there...
