Chapter 153: Quarrel Again

Gu Mian was indifferent, "Don't use grandma to pressure me, I won't fall for it!"

"You..." Yin Luoxue's chest heaved with anger.

Upon seeing this, He Meiru stepped forward, knelt down in front of Gu Mian, and kowtowed to her, "Gu Mian, I beg you to save the child, the child is innocent! He is still so young, he has the right to see the world, Gu Mian!"

"You don't need to use morality to hold me hostage. When your daughter hired someone to rape and kill me, she didn't think about my right to live." Gu Mian said coldly, "I've said it before, God sees what you do. It's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

"You...you are too cruel!" He Meiru cried, "I have already knelt down to beg you, what else do you want!"

"If kneeling can solve the problem, why do we need the police?"

"You..." He Meiru said angrily, "Gu Mian, if you don't help me today, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"I will hang banners outside the Chinese Medicine Hall every day to let everyone know that your Chinese Medicine Hall disregards human life and destroy your and Mr. Lu Lang's reputation!"

Gu Mian laughed out loud, "Okay, do you want me to customize a banner for you?"

"You..." Seeing that she was not going to give in, He Meiru hurriedly moved in front of Li Hongxuan and said, "Hongxuan, Luoxue is carrying your own child. You must keep Gu Mian here today to save the baby!"

Li Hongxuan took a puff of his cigar and looked at Gu Mian again, "Aren't you afraid that you will die if you disobey me?"

Gu Mian smiled calmly, "Since I dared to come here, I must have made preparations to leave. If Mr. Li insists on breaking up with me, I'll just have to not regret it."

Li Hongxuan laughed out loud, "As expected, she is the granddaughter-in-law chosen by my mother herself. She is quite courageous."

"Mr. Li, please accept my award. I will leave now."

Gu Mian was about to leave when He Meiru, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and rushed towards her.

"Stop! If you don't save my grandson today, don't even think about walking out of this door!"

Gu Mian's eyes turned cold, and he raised his foot and kicked her on the knee.

"Ouch..." He Meiru screamed, fell to the ground, and howled, "Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed! Help me..."

Gu Mian ignored her and turned away.

......

In the afternoon, the old lady walked into the VIP ward.

"Mom, why are you here?" Liu Qingyu greeted respectfully.

"What do you think?" The old lady sat down on the chair beside the bed, her expression serious. "Ting Shen arranged a bodyguard for you at the door. It seems that he also knows that you have done many unjust things and is afraid that you will be retaliated against."

The smile on Liu Qingyu's face faded, "Mom, what do you want to say?"

"Do you need me to throw the evidence of you hiring someone to murder Xingzhi in your face?" Old Madam Li said coldly, "The Liu family has indeed been going downhill in recent years. They can't even find a few killers, and there are flaws everywhere..."

Liu Qingyu pursed his lips, his pale face slightly stiff, "Mom, why do you have to insult me ​​like this..."

"If you don't kill me, would I come here to insult you?" The old lady was very upset. "Qing Yu, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your descendants."

"You committed such a murder. Aren't you afraid that it will affect the blessings of your descendants? Ting Shen and Mian Yatou have been preparing for pregnancy. Maybe you will become a grandmother one day. Don't you consider them?"

Liu Qingyu frowned, "Isn't Ting Shen injured and inhumane?"

"No, he made up a lie to deceive Miss Mian in order to keep her by his side."

Liu Qingyu was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly, "Okay... Ting Shen really inherited my love brain. In order to sleep, he can do anything..."

"Isn't the happiness of our children our greatest wish as elders? Why do you have to go to this extent?" Madam Li sighed, "In my opinion, Ting Shen's decision is right. You should divorce Hong Xuan and live your own life."

Liu Qingyu felt humiliated, her lips trembling, "Mom, you want to kick me out of the Li family now that Gu Xingzhi has returned home, right?"

"You like Gu Wanrou and her son so much? Then who am I? What are my Ting Shen and Xing Ze!"

"Ting Shen is my proudest grandson, Xing Ze is my most uninhibited grandson, but Xing Zhi is my most pitiful grandson. Shouldn't I make amends for him?" said the old lady. "Qing Yu, I am actually paying off your debts by being nice to him."

"I don't owe him anything, what debt do I have to pay?"

"What the Li family owes them, and what you owe them, must be repaid." Madam Li sighed, "I will take back the shares of the Li Group in your hands and transfer them to Xingzhi's name."

Liu Qingyu frowned, "So I've been married into your Li family for more than 20 years, and I gave birth to two such outstanding sons, but in the end I got nothing?"

"Can this little bit of shares be compared with the suffering they have endured?" asked the old lady.

Liu Qingyu sneered, "So my decision back then was not wrong. You like Gu Wanrou more than you like me, and the same goes for Hongxuan."

"So if you knew she was pregnant, you would definitely kick me out of the Li family and let her take over. Then the person who has returned to the Li family after wandering outside for more than 20 years would be Ting Shen!"

"Hongxuan is not a human, but I can tell right from wrong." Madam Li said, "How could I treat you and Tingshen like that?"

"Nothing is impossible in this world." Liu Qingyu curled his lips, "So I was right, I was right then, and I am even more right now! Both mother and son deserve to die!"

"At this point, you are still stubborn?" The old lady frowned. "Well, if you don't listen to my kind words, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"From now on, if you dare to harm Xingzhi again, I will never let you off easily! Don't think you are nobler than others. Everyone's life is the same."

Liu Qingyu looked at her, "Mom, what you mean is that if I kill that evil creature, I will have to pay for my life?"

"Kill for life, is that a problem?"

"I understand." Liu Qingyu sneered, "My husband doesn't take me seriously, my son protects his daughter-in-law, and now even my mother-in-law wants to give up on me. My life is a complete failure..."

......

Gu Xingzhi stayed in the hospital for a month before being discharged.

Madam Li transferred all of her and Liu Qingyu's shares to him.

Gu Xingzhi owns 20% of the shares of the Leh Group, which is enough money for him to spend in his lifetime.

When Gu Mian learned that 10% of the shares came from Liu Qingyu, he had already guessed something.

Gu Xingzhi sat on the sofa with a thin blanket covering his legs. "Mianmian, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Mian looked at him, "The person who wants to kill you is Ting Shen's mother, Liu Qingyu, right?"

"I don't know." Gu Xingzhi smiled gently, "Grandma told me not to mention this matter again. Of course I won't ask about it, let alone investigate it."

"Even I can think of it, how could you not think of it?" Gu Mian lowered his eyes, "She is obviously the victim of this marriage, why did she let herself become the perpetrator......"

"Mianmian, human nature is very complex. It cannot be determined by absolute good or evil." Gu Xingzhi comforted her, "Don't think too much. I'm fine, right? And I got so many shares. If you count carefully, I made a profit."

Gu Mian paused for a moment, then looked up at him. "I know you. You are definitely not a money-grubbing person."

Gu Xingzhi was noncommittal. "But I have no choice but to take the money and shut up, right?"

......

When Gu Mian returned home, Li Tingshen had not returned yet.

"Madam," Mother Yang walked up and said, "My husband said he was working overtime tonight and would not be home for dinner."

"good."

Gu Mian had no appetite, so he ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

She went to the study to practice acupuncture, and returned to her room after ten o'clock to take a bath and go to bed.

Just as I fell asleep, I was awakened by a tingling sensation.

Gu Mian suddenly opened her eyes and saw the man pressing on her.

Gu Mian hurriedly pushed him, "Ting Shen, I'm a little tired today..."

The man pulled off the sling on her shoulders, bit her fair shoulder, and said hoarsely, "Gu Xingzhi has been discharged from the hospital, are you still tired?"

"I'm tired, what does it have to do with others?" Gu Mian frowned, "I'm not in the mood to do it today, you go down."

"Gu Xingzhi got the shares of Li Group, aren't you happy for him?" Li Ting chuckled, "How can you not be in the mood to do it, huh?"

"Why are you talking so weirdly?" Gu Mian's brows knitted tighter. "Don't you know why Gu Xingzhi got the shares of Li Group?"

"Let me ask you, have you known for a long time that your mother had harmed Xingzhi?"

Li Tingshen looked up at her, "Who told you? Gu Xingzhi?"

"Do I need to tell anyone about this? Your mother's shares in the Li Group have all been transferred to Xingzhi. Isn't that obvious enough?" Gu Mian couldn't hide his disappointment. "So you knew about this a long time ago, right? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't think there's any need to tell you." Li Tingshen said calmly, "What good would it do if I told you?"

"We are husband and wife, and this matter concerns your mother and my friend, so of course you should tell me first."

"Tell you who you are going to help?"

“Is this a question of who to help? This is a question of right and wrong.”

"Right or wrong..." Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "So there's no need to ask, you will help Gu Xingzhi too."

"That's right. With the relationship between you and Gu Xingzhi, let alone saying that my mother was at fault, even if he was at fault, you would still help him."

Gu Mian was speechless for a moment, "Ting Shen, do you have any sense?"

"What did I say that doesn't make sense?" Li Tingshen asked back.

"I really didn't expect you to think this way." Gu Mian's chest heaved with anger. "What about you? Do you have a clear conscience?"

"I asked you why you were willing to let me visit Xingzhi in the past month. I thought you believed me, but it turns out you didn't."

"You allowed me to visit him because you felt guilty about your mother's killing of Xingzhi. You never really believed in me..."

"Do I need to feel guilty about a bastard?" Li Tingshen was so angry that he laughed. "Gu Mian, do you know that it is easier for me to kill him than to step on an ant?"

"Boss Li is omnipotent, so of course I believe him." Gu Mian pushed him away, sat up, and accused, "Anyway, you and your son are of the same mind, both are ruthless and intolerant."

"Your mother is inciting murder, which is a crime, but you chose to protect her, just like you protected Yin Luoxue!"

"Because I am the same as Gu Xingzhi, we are insignificant and can be bullied and harmed by you!"

A cold light flashed in Li Tingshen's eyes, and he suddenly raised his hands to hold her shoulders, "Gu Mian, who are you and us, huh?"
