Chapter 143 A fleeting romance
Gu Mian stood up suddenly, "What's going on? Why is Xingzhi with Li Hongxuan?"
Liu Qingyu had never expected this to happen, and his lips were shaking with anger. "He actually dared to hold a press conference publicly... How dare he!"
Li Ting looked at Gu Mian deeply, "Gu Mian, Gu Xingzhi is Li Hongxuan's illegitimate son, only half a year younger than me. He now takes my place as the new executive president of Li Group."
Gu Mian couldn't believe it, "How is it possible? How could he be Li Hongxuan's illegitimate son......"
"Stop playing dumb here!" Liu Qingyu vented all his anger on Gu Mian. "How dare you say you didn't know anything about this? How dare you say you didn't have anything to do with this?"
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with Gu Mian." Li Tingshen's eyebrows turned cold, "Aunt Liu, send Madam back to the hospital."
Liu Qingyu said angrily, "Ting Shen, they have bullied my mother and me, and you are still protecting her!"
Li Tingshen's face became even gloomier.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mother Liu hurriedly took Liu Qingyu away.
As the door closed, the sound from the TV became clearer.
Gu Xingzhi, dressed in a dark suit, methodically introduced the development plan of the Leshi Group for the next six months.
The screen suddenly went dark and Li Tingshen turned off the TV.
Gu Mian pulled himself back to his senses with great difficulty and turned to look at him, "When did you know that?"
"Just these two days." Li Tingshen took her hand and sat down again, "Gu Mian, you should have thought of it earlier."
He looks like Gu Xingzhi, and coupled with Li Hongxuan's character, it is easy to associate him with Li Hongxuan.
Gu Mian suddenly remembered what Gu Xingzhi said during dinner that day.
[If one day I stand on the opposite side of Li Tingshen, what will you choose? ]
Could it be that he already knew his own background?
She and Gu Xingzhi seldom met these days. Could it be that he was busy returning to his roots and taking over the Li Group?
Li Hongxuan breaks up with Li Tingshen. Gu Xingzhi recognizes this person as his father and is bound to be in opposition to Li Tingshen.
Gu Mian couldn't imagine what the future would be like for these half-brothers...
......
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Xingzhi returned to the hotel room, tugged at his tie, poured himself a glass of foreign wine, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the bustling city night scene outside the window.
The cell phone suddenly vibrated. Gu Xingzhi took it out from his pocket and his eyes froze when he saw the name on the screen.
After more than ten seconds, he picked up the phone, his tone as gentle as ever, "Mianmian, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Xingzhi, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Did you see the live broadcast?"
"Um."
"It's hard to explain a few words on the phone." Gu Xingzhi took a sip of wine and said, "Tomorrow, Saturday, you don't have work, I'll come to see you in the morning, okay?"
"good."
Gu Xingzhi hung up the phone, his gentle face showing no extra emotion, and he tilted his head back and drank the liquor in the glass in one gulp.
......
The next morning, when Gu Mian woke up, Li Tingshen had not yet gotten up.
After washing up, she sat in front of the dressing table and applied skin care products. Suddenly, she saw a small medicine bottle in the drawer. She remembered something and immediately took out a pill and swallowed it.
After tidying up, Gu Mian went out.
As soon as she left, Li Tingshen opened his eyes.
The man got up from bed, threw back the covers, walked directly to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out the bottle of medicine.
He didn't recognize the name of the medicine.
Li Tingshen picked up his phone, took a photo of the medicine, and the relevant information came out quickly.
When he saw the words above, the man's eyes turned cold...
......
When Gu Mian went downstairs, Gu Xingzhi had already arrived.
He drove a black Bentley and wore a light grey casual suit. His demeanor was a little gentler than in yesterday's live broadcast.
"Mianmian, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Gu Mian said, "I want to go ride the Ferris wheel."
"good."
Gu Xingzhi drove to the amusement park. Because it was Saturday, there were many people in the amusement park. He waited in line for more than ten minutes before he could ride the Ferris wheel.
In the carriage, two people sat opposite each other.
Gu Mian looked at him, "Ting Shen said that you are Li Hongxuan's biological son. Is that true?"
"I just found out that Li Hongxuan is my father." Gu Xingzhi said calmly, "I never thought that Li Tingshen and I have such a connection."
"Did you really just find out about this?" Gu Mian asked suspiciously. "Why do I feel like you already knew about this? Otherwise, why would you ask me what decision I should make that day?"
"Mianmian, when have I ever lied to you?" Gu Xingzhi asked back.
Gu Mian nodded, "Xingzhi, I hope you will never lie to me, okay?"
"Of course you can." Gu Xingzhi smiled slightly, "I have found my relatives and returned to my roots. You should be happy for me."
Gu Mian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did Mr. Li tell us about what happened between him and Aunt Gu?"
"It was just a one-night stand," Gu Xingzhi said casually. "My mother disappeared after the one-night stand. He didn't even know I existed. He got suspicious when he saw me at the MS Group dinner that day. He found out I was his son after some investigation."
"My mother has always had a very positive outlook on life. She must have found out that he was married and left without saying goodbye. She didn't expect that she would find out that she was pregnant soon after."
"She has always loved children and was reluctant to abort the baby, so she gave birth to me in secret. She was a miserable woman and never enjoyed a single day of happiness."
Gu Mian's eyes were sore and bitter, "Xingzhi, Aunt Gu's spirit is in heaven and will always bless you. You will definitely get better and better."
Gu Xingzhi smiled warmly, "Mianmian, we will all get better and better."
"Um."
The Ferris wheel reached its highest point. I looked out the window at the scenery. The haze that had been accumulating in my chest all night seemed to dissipate a little.
......
When Li Tingshen walked into the ward, Mother Liu was feeding Liu Qingyu medicine.
"I've called you so many times, and you're finally here." Liu Qingyu looked at him, "Have you figured out how to deal with that evil creature?"
Li Tingshen walked to the sofa and sat down. "I have nothing to do with Li Hongxuan and Li Group anymore. Who he chooses to be the president of Li Group, or who he brings back to the Li family to recognize his ancestors, has nothing to do with me."
"But his behavior hurt me!" Liu Qingyu said, "The existence of that evil child is like a thorn in my throat. Ting Shen, you must help Mom!"
Li Ting cast a probing gaze on her face. "Li Hongxuan has so many illegitimate children out there, and I haven't seen you kill all of the others. Why can't you stand him?"
"He's different from the others!"
"What's the difference?"
Liu Qingyu moved his mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
She quickly remembered something, "He colluded with Gu Mian to plot against you! How could mother tolerate this! Maybe they have already slept with you and cheated on you!"
Li Tingshen's face suddenly turned cold, "This is Li's business, don't bring Gu Mian into this."
"This matter originally has something to do with Gu Mian, how could we not bring her along? She is also a participant in this matter!" When mentioning Gu Mian, Liu Qingyu's face became even uglier, "Gu Mian is clearly in cahoots with him, can't you see that!"
Aunt Liu had been standing quietly by the side listening to their conversation. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you unwilling to take action against Gu Xingzhi because of the Madam?"
