Chapter 148 I'm Pregnant

Gu Xingzhi's eyes fell on their intertwined hands and he smiled slightly, "Mianmian, where are you going?"

"Going back home...you too?"

"I'll go in the afternoon."

"Then we'll go first."

After entering the elevator, Gu Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and saw Li Tingshen's gloomy face. She couldn't help but remind him, "Granny will be worried when she sees you like this."

"I see."

The two of them stayed at Li's house with Old Lady Li for most of the day, and in the blink of an eye it was already afternoon.

Liu Qingyu has been in poor health recently and has been staying in the hospital. The doctor did not recommend leaving the hospital for too long, so he was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

She looked unhappy when she saw Gu Mian, but for the sake of old lady Li's face, she held back and didn't lose her temper.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Hongxuan and Gu Xingzhi arrived at Li's house.

Li Hongxuan ignored the others and introduced him directly to Madam Li, "Mom, this is Xingzhi."

Gu Xingzhi greeted her politely, "Grandma, Happy New Year. This is a New Year gift I prepared for you. I wonder if you like it."

When the old lady saw Gu Xingzhi, she was stunned.

"Madam." Aunt Zhang reminded in a low voice.

The old lady finally came to her senses and said, "Put it down. I don't need anything. I won't have to spend money in the future."

Liu Qingyu frowned.

Although the old lady spoke in a flat tone, she did not refuse his gift.

Due to her upbringing, she would not lose control of her emotions in front of an illegitimate child, so she endured it.

Li Hongxuan and Gu Xingzhi sat down.

"Mom, Xingzhi is very smart and capable." Li Hongxuan said with pride, "If he had been given a good education since childhood, he would definitely be a child of destiny."

The word "也" is particularly subtle.

Even Gu Mian could understand what was meant.

This implies that Gu Xingzhi is no worse than Li Tingshen, but he was not born in the Li family like Li Tingshen.

Li Hongxuan continued, "Mom, Xingzhi suffered a lot while out there. He was even sold to northern Myanmar and almost didn't make it back alive."

"How could this happen?" The old lady was surprised. "How could she be sold so accidentally?"

Li Hongxuan's face darkened. "Someone wanted to kill him. He is lucky to be alive today."

The old lady didn't respond. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then glanced at Liu Qingyu inadvertently.

Liu Qingyu sat in a specially made wheelchair with an expressionless face.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

A cheerful and pleasant voice came from the door.

Li Xingze walked in whistling, and when he saw Gu Xingzhi, his face changed suddenly, "Why is he here!"

"Xingze, watch your attitude." Li Hongxuan warned quietly, "Since he can step into the Li family, it is not your turn to make a comment."

"You also know that this is the Li family. You brought your illegitimate child back to the Li family. Where is my mother's face?"

"This is a matter between me and your mother. You don't need to ask."

Li Xingze's face turned pale in anger. "Okay, you are shameless, but I want an appetite! I can't finish this New Year's Eve dinner, you guys enjoy it slowly!"

"Xingze, stop!"

Liu Qingyu stopped Li Xingze who was about to leave and said sternly, "What did your mother teach you? You can't be impatient when encountering things. Why can't you learn it?"

"You are the legitimate second young master of the Li family. It is not your turn to leave."

Gu Mian looked at Gu Xingzhi subconsciously.

These words were obviously meant for him.

He is an illegitimate child, and it is inappropriate for him to be here.

But there was no fluctuation on Gu Xingzhi's face, and he always had a gentle smile on his face, as if he had never heard these words.

Gu Mian was not surprised.

Perhaps due to family reasons, Gu Xingzhi has always been calmer and more stable than his peers.

Moreover, he must have been able to imagine what he would face when he arrived at Li's house today, so he must have been mentally prepared.

Gu Mian was in a trance when he suddenly felt a slight pain in his hand.

She turned her head subconsciously and saw Li Tingshen holding her hand.

Gu Mian raised her eyes and saw a hint of unhappiness in the man's deep and cold eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Mian: "......"

"I didn't see anything." Gu Mian didn't want to stay here any longer. "I'm going to call Master to wish him a happy new year."

She got up and went upstairs, escaping the suffocating living room.

Madam Li stood up and said, "Xingzhi, come with me."

Gu Xingzhi stood up and followed the old lady upstairs.

Li Xingze looked at Li Tingshen and said, "Brother, are you just not going to take care of these trivial matters?"

"I came here today to have New Year's Eve dinner with my grandmother. The Li family's affairs have nothing to do with me."

After Li Tingshen finished speaking, he also stood up and went upstairs.

Li Xingze suddenly felt depressed.

......

Madam Li took Gu Xingzhi back to the master bedroom on the second floor and looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her. "Sit down."

Gu Xingzhi sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Madam Li got straight to the point, "Your mother is Gu Wanrou?"

Gu Xingzhi nodded, "Grandma knows my mother."

"Yes." The old lady's eyes were slightly moist. "You look a lot like her."

"Yes, that's what Mianmian's grandmother said."

"You have suffered." The old lady sighed, "Tell me how your mother died."

"She sold blood to support me, but she got infected with HIV."

Madam Li shuddered fiercely, "My child, you have suffered so much. It is the Li family that has let you down."

"It's all in the past." Gu Xingzhi smiled calmly, "For my mother, death was a kind of relief, so I never thought her death was a regrettable thing."

The old lady was stunned. "...Child, can you promise me one thing?"

"You say."

The old lady choked up and said, "Grandma doesn't know how to make up for the suffering you have endured, and she also knows that nothing can make up for the suffering you and your son have endured."

"But grandma still wants to selfishly ask you, if you can't make Ting Shen and Xing Ze get along well, don't hurt them. They are also like you, unable to choose their own birth."

Gu Xingzhi smiled calmly, "Grandma, why do you think I must have hurt them? Judging from the situation, aren't they more likely to hurt me?"

"Xingze doesn't have the ability to hurt you, but Tingshen has his own principles. As long as you don't interfere with him, he won't touch you easily."

Gu Xingzhi's handsome face showed no extra emotions, and his tone was even, as if it was always on the same level. "Grandma knows him very well."

"He is my grandson, so I naturally understand him." The old lady looked at him, "Grandma hopes that I will understand you soon too."

"Are you willing to move into the Li family and live with me? I will officially announce your identity to the public and give you all the shares of the Li Group under my name."

Gu Xingzhi was indifferent. "Grandma, I've been used to being poor since I was a child. Even if you transfer the shares to me, I don't know how to spend so much money, so forget it."

"My current house is pretty good. I live next door to Mianmian, so I can take care of her."

The old lady nodded and said, "You are a loyal child, just like your mother. Then I am relieved because you will definitely agree to my request."

"Why did grandma say that?"

"Because Gu Mian will not allow anyone to hurt Ting Shen, and you will not hurt Gu Mian, right?"

Gu Xingzhi curled his lips but remained silent.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The disturbed old lady asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Madam, Yin Luoxue is here."

"Why is she here?" The old lady closed her eyes and said, "I know."

"It looks like our conversation has to stop here for now." Gu Xingzhi stood up and said, "Let's go downstairs and take a look first."

......

downstairs.

Except for Li Tingshen and Gu Mian, everyone else is still there.

Yin Luoxue was wearing a red knitted long dress and had delicate, flawless makeup on her face. She was sitting next to Li Hongxuan drinking juice.

Liu Qingyu looked at her coldly, "Yin Luoxue, did you come here today just to provoke me?"

Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, but any mistress with some dignity would not come to visit on this day.

For example, Li Hongxuan's other women are very self-aware.

Yin Luoxue tilted her head and said, "Auntie, don't be angry yet. If it wasn't something important, I wouldn't have come here in the heavy snow."

"What important matter can you have?" Liu Qingyu said coldly, "Get out of here before I lose my temper."

"I'm here today to announce something important." Yin Luoxue raised her hand and touched her flat belly, "I'm pregnant."
