Chapter 154 Sacrificing Mother to Protect Son

"Of course it's Xingzhi!" Gu Mian stared at him, gritting his teeth and saying word by word, "Do you think I should stand on the side of the murderer?"

"It's only now that I realize how different our values ​​are." Gu Mian slowly pushed his hand away. "I will never accept your behavior of ignoring the law and wantonly harming innocent people."

Li Tingshen sneered, "Gu Xingzhi accepted the shares of the Li family, which means he tacitly agreed to let this matter go. But you helped him to protest for your husband here. Gu Mian, you are really good..."

Gu Mian closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, "I'm tired and don't want to argue with you anymore, get out!"

Li Ting stared at her face with his deep and cold eyes, and quickly got out of bed and left.

With a "bang"!

The door was slammed shut.

Gu Mian was so frightened that he shuddered violently and his tears flowed even more violently.

......

Li Ting did not return home all night.

Gu Mian was preoccupied with things and didn't sleep well. When he went to work the next day, his eyes were still swollen.

"Mianmian, what's wrong?" Mr. Lu Lang came in, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Master, I'm fine."

"Xingzhi has been discharged from the hospital and lives next door to you. Will you be the one taking care of him from now on?"

Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "Master, you have been taking care of him these days. You should continue to do it. I am sorry for the trouble."

In order to prevent Li Ting from getting unnecessarily angry, she did not take care of Xingzhi's health herself, but asked Mr. Lu Lang to help take care of him.

"It's not that hard, I just go there once a day." Mr. Lu Lang was curious, "I was just surprised, why don't you take over it yourself?"

Gu Mian said truthfully, "I just don't want to cause more trouble."

"......Is Mr. Li jealous?"

Gu Mian remained silent.

But it seemed that no matter how she kept her distance from the opposite sex, Li Tingshen was never satisfied.

"By the way." Mr. Lu Lang said, "I have temporarily stabilized Yin Luoxue's physical condition."

After being rejected by Gu Mian, Li Hongxuan found Mr. Lu Lang again and asked him to treat Yin Luoxue.

Gu Mian knew Li Hongxuan's character very well, and was worried that he would get angry and embarrass the Chinese medicine clinic, so he did not stop Mr. Lu Lang from treating the patient.

Her personal grudges should not involve her master.

Moreover, as Li Hongxuan's personal physician, it is reasonable for Mr. Lu Lang to protect his child.

Gu Mian recalled, "She should be three months pregnant now, right? After three months, the fetus is usually stable."

Mr. Lu Lang shook his head. "Her health is not good. Even if I use all my medical skills, she will have to stay in bed for the entire pregnancy."

Gu Mian said, "If the baby can be born smoothly, it will be worth it to lie down and take care of the baby."

"The problem is, even if she can carry the baby to term, given her physical condition, her life will be over once the baby is born."

Gu Mian frowned, "Master, you mean that only one of her and the child can be saved?"

"I tried my best." Mr. Lu Lang sighed, "If she decides to save herself, then it's best to abort the baby as soon as possible. If she saves the baby, her life will enter a countdown."

"Mianmian, what do you think she will choose?"

Gu Mian shook his head. "I don't want to put myself in Yin Luoxue's shoes. Besides, it shouldn't count if she said it alone, right? After all, Li Hongxuan is also involved in this child."

"Yes, I told them this yesterday in front of both of them. As for the choice, it is up to them to decide."

......

At that time, in the hospital.

Yin Luoxue looked at Li Hongxuan in front of her in disbelief, "What did you say? You want me to give birth to this child? Didn't you understand what Mr. Lu Lang said? I will die if I give birth to the child!"

"Don't you want to keep this child?" Li Hongxuan asked calmly, "Now Mr. Lu Lang has tried his best to help you keep it, and you don't want it anymore?"

Yin Luoxue was choked by these words, and then said, "Hongxuan, I want to give birth to your child, but the prerequisite is that I have to live well. If I die, the child will be alone and pitiful."

Li Hongxuan smoked his cigar leisurely, "Don't worry about that. My child will not become an orphan."

Yin Luoxue: “…”

She looked at him aggrievedly, "Hongxuan, don't you consider me at all? I love you so sincerely, don't you care about me at all?"

"Luoxue, if you really love me, you should help me give birth to a child."

Yin Luoxue: “…”

She had long known that Li Hongxuan was cold-blooded and heartless, but he just treated her as a plaything.

Originally I wanted to raise my status by giving birth to this child, but I didn't expect that I would end up having to sacrifice the mother to save the child!

Yin Luoxue did not confront him head-on because she knew very well that she could not compete with him at all.

Thinking of this, Yin Luoxue got out of bed and walked to him.

There were two lines of tears on her face, making her look particularly pitiful.

"Hongxuan." Yin Luoxue shed tears silently and said obediently, "You are right. I love you, so I should give birth to a child for you."

"Since we can't find the miracle doctor Lu Ming, and my illness is difficult to cure, I am willing to give birth to this child for you because I love you."

Li Hongxuan was very satisfied with her words, "Luoxue, I knew you were the most sensible. My love for you was not in vain."

Yin Luoxue leaned into his arms shyly, "Hongxuan..."

She was clearly acting coquettishly, but there was a strong hatred in her eyes.

She would never let herself die giving birth to a child, it's not worth it!

The only thing we can do now is to appease Li Hongxuan first.

Anyway, the baby is in her belly, so it’s up to her to decide whether to have the baby or not!

But if the child suddenly died, Li Hongxuan would definitely be angry.

Yin Luoxue's eyes rolled and she immediately thought of a good idea.

If it was Gu Mian who got rid of her child, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

This pot is the best for taking care of your back!

Yin Luoxue sniffed, raised her head and looked at Li Hongxuan affectionately.

"Hongxuan, didn't you say before that the Li Group will hold a cocktail party for Gu Xingzhi next week? I also want to attend."

"You are not feeling well. Don't go."

"Hongxuan, I don't have much time left. I want to be with you every minute and every second." Yin Luoxue said coquettishly, "Just let me go, okay?"

Li Hongxuan could never stand a woman acting coquettishly, so he readily agreed, "Okay, okay, okay, isn't it okay if I do as you say? You little devil!"

......

On Friday night, Gu Mian went home from get off work. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he ran into Gu Xingzhi who was opening the door.

"Mianmian, the Li family is going to hold a cocktail party for me tomorrow night. Please come with me."

"I won't go." Gu Mian declined. "This is a cocktail party held for you by Li Hongxuan. Ting Shen broke up with him. I'm Ting Shen's wife. It's quite embarrassing."

"But tomorrow is my big day. My mom is gone, and my grandma is gone too. They can't see it anymore, so I hope you can be there."

Gu Mian couldn't bear it, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go there."

"It's a deal. I'll come see you at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"good."

Gu Mian opened the door and walked into the house. Yang's mother immediately came to greet him, "Madam is back. The meal will be ready soon."

"Um."

"Madam," Yang's mother asked tentatively, "Today is Friday, and you and your husband haven't been together for several days. Why don't you call him and ask him to come home and have dinner with you?"

Gu Mian said expressionlessly, "I have a good appetite recently. I can finish the meal by myself. I don't need to find a companion."

Mother Yang: “…”

The doorbell suddenly rang. Gu Mian went to open the door and asked in surprise, "Grandma, why are you here?"

"I missed you guys, so I came to see you." Old Madam Li walked in with a smile, "Where's Ting Shen?"

Before Gu Mian could even open his mouth, Yang's mother interrupted him, "The master hasn't come back yet. He said he's on his way."

Gu Mian pursed his lips slightly but did not deny it.

Mother Yang said, "Madam, please take a seat first. I will go and order two more dishes."

"good."

Madam Li took Gu Mian's hand and sat down on the sofa. "Mian girl, are you and Ting Shen doing well recently?"

"fine."

The Li family already had a lot of mess going on, and Gu Mian didn't want to cause any more trouble for old lady Li because of what happened between her and Li Tingshen.

"Grandma, don't worry about us."

"Okay, you've always been the one who makes grandma worry less." The old lady smiled and said, "When you give birth to a child, grandma can hold her great-grandson in her arms, and grandma will die without regrets."

"Grandma, don't say that." Gu Mian held her arm, "You will definitely live a long life."

"Okay, grandma will try to live a hundred years and walk with you for a while longer."

......

Gu Mian originally planned to explain to Mrs. Li when dinner started, saying that Li Tingshen was working overtime and would not be home for dinner.

But unexpectedly, Li Tingshen came back before the meal was ready.
