Chapter 155 I Miss Her

"Not really." Gu Mian took a sip of red wine. "We are already separated, there is no need to hide. I am just tired of staying in the capital and want to get some fresh air."

"As soon as I graduated, I took my grandmother to the capital for medical treatment. In order to earn more money, I went to the Li family to apply for a job as a nurse for Mrs. Li."

"Then I married Ting Shen, and then I went to jail... Counting it all together, the last time I left the capital was during my grandmother's birthday."

What's funny is that during the rare trip back to his hometown, he had a quarrel with Li Tingshen and left on bad terms.

Yan Mu felt sad when he heard this, "Gu Mian, you have indeed suffered a lot of grievances by marrying Ting Shen."

"It's the path I chose, so there's no reason to blame others." Gu Mian smiled, "But since this path is wrong, of course I have to turn back in time."

"Don't blame me for speaking for Ting Shen. He just doesn't know how to express himself." Yan Mu sighed and said, "You also know that his family of origin is abnormal. He doesn't know how to love, and he doesn't know how to love."

"I understand."

"But you still insist on getting a divorce, don't you?"

Gu Mian smiled faintly, "When we reconciled before, he once asked me to teach him how to love."

"I admit that I am a failed teacher. I can't teach him and I don't want to teach him anymore."

"Lawyer Yan, you must have never experienced the feeling of extreme disappointment, right? If you have, I think you will understand me."

The moment Li Tingshen chose to continue protecting Yin Luoxue, she felt the same as when she saw Gu Xing's circle of friends.

Disappointed to the point of numbness.

Especially Li Tingshen, he had made her so heartbroken that she lost consciousness.

She could decisively give up her cousin, and she could also decisively give up a man who didn't love her.

The doorbell suddenly rang. Gu Mian said goodbye to Yan Mu, hung up the phone, and got up to open the door.

Gu Xingzhi stood outside the door, "Mianmian, I bought you the lobster you like to eat."

"I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."

Gu Xingzhi insisted, "Eat something. Noodles eaten at night are easy to digest."

"I'm really not hungry." Gu Mian declined, "and it's too late now."

Being in the same room with the opposite sex late at night can easily lead to misunderstandings.

"Are you worried that Li Tingshen will be unhappy?" Gu Xingzhi pointed out directly, "Mianmian, you two are getting divorced."

Gu Mian then realized that the only one who could have misunderstood was Li Tingshen.

Her subconscious reaction was that she didn't want Li Ting to misunderstand her.

Gu Mian's originally calm heart suddenly became chaotic.

Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Mianmian, we are innocent and I came to you because I have something to ask you."

Gu Mian had no choice but to agree, "Then come in."

She went to the bathroom to change her clothes, and when she came out, Gu Xingzhi had already placed food on the table.

"Sit down." Gu Xingzhi opened the red wine. "Would you like to drink?"

Gu Mian shook his head and said, "I'll just drink some water."

Gu Xingzhi poured himself a cup and said, "Mianmian, I have never asked you, how were you and grandma doing during those years?"

Gu Mian put on disposable gloves and peeled a lobster. "My grandmother became seriously ill when I was a senior. She was treated on and off in Haicheng for a year, but her condition did not improve. The doctor said that only the Imperial Capital Li's Hospital might be able to save my grandmother's life."

"My aunt was unwilling to pay, and I was in school with no income, so I had no choice but to sell the house and take her to the imperial capital. Fortunately, I later married Li Tingshen, and in exchange, Li's Hospital provided free treatment for my grandmother."

For this, Gu Mian was grateful to the Li family.

If she hadn't married Li Tingshen, she wouldn't have been able to afford her grandmother's medical expenses, and her grandmother would have passed away long ago.

"It's my fault." Gu Xingzhi blamed himself, "If I hadn't disappeared suddenly, you wouldn't have to face these difficulties alone, and maybe you wouldn't have to marry Li Tingshen."

"Xingzhi, don't blame yourself. Grandma is my responsibility, not yours." Gu Mian said, "Grandma's greatest wish is that you live safely. Now that she can see you in heaven, she can rest assured."

"Mianmian, I will take good care of you for grandma."

"I am no longer a child. I can take care of myself."

"I know." Gu Xingzhi looked at him, "You have grown up. You are no longer the little girl who followed me."

"We haven't seen each other for five years. Of course, there have been changes." Gu Mian ate lobster, "But you haven't changed much. You are still a young man after returning."

Gu Xingzhi looked at her, "What if this is just an illusion?"

"I know you must have suffered a lot in northern Myanmar, but Xingzhi, I hope you can keep your original intention, because Aunt Gu is a good person. She raised you, and you will not let her down."

Gu Xingzhi's deep eyes were filled with pain, "Mianmian, I miss her..."

Gu Mian paused while holding the lobster in his hand, "Xingzhi, if you live well, that will be the greatest comfort to Aunt Gu."

"And one day, we will be reunited with our lost loved ones."

"Yes, there will be a day..."

......

At that time, the President of MS Group.

Li Tingshen stared at the computer screen motionlessly, with a chill growing in his eyes.

The picture shows Gu Xingzhi and Gu Mian walking in Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.

They walked and talked, just like a perfect couple.

Soon, the two of them sat down at the edge of the playground, and Gu Xingzhi peeled chestnuts for her and almost fed them into her mouth!

The two of them left together only when the sun set.

Li Ting changed the picture deeply.

The picture shows the surveillance of the hotel corridor.

Half an hour ago, Gu Xingzhi walked into Gu Mian's room and has not come out since.

There was a chill in Li Tingshen's eyes. He picked up his cell phone and made a call.

......

Although Gu Mian was not hungry, he ate a lot without realizing it.

She was about to clean up the table when the alarm suddenly sounded outside the door.

Both of them were startled and hurriedly opened the door and found that the sound came from the fire alarm in the corridor.

People from other rooms also came out one after another and rushed towards the staircase exit.

Gu Xingzhi grabbed Gu Mian's wrist and said, "Mianmian, let's go!"

The two people went down the stairs to the fireproof floor for safety. More than half an hour later, the staff came to inform them that there was no fire and it was just a false alarm.

The two of them then went back upstairs and returned to their rooms.

After all that trouble, I was really tired and wanted to sleep, so I brushed my teeth and lay down on the bed.

Although I was clearly tired, my brain seemed to be becoming more and more clear.

She couldn't help but wonder, if there really was a fire today, or if she died here, would she have any regrets?

Maybe there will be.

About Li Tingshen.

They were in such a awkward situation that they didn't even have a chance to say goodbye properly.

It turned out that she still wanted to say goodbye to him properly.

I closed my eyes, suppressed the tears, and forced myself to fall asleep.

......

The next morning, Gu Mian went to work on time.

The Chinese medicine clinic in Haicheng has enough staff and is not very busy.

But Gu Mian was not idle. He did not rush to leave work at night. He sorted out the medical books in the reading room, picked out the ones he thought were useful, and made them available for the Chinese medicine practitioners here to read.

When Gu Xingzhi called, Gu Mian was busy.

She picked up her phone and turned on the speakerphone, "Xingzhi, you're looking for me?"

"Are you not off work yet?"

"Yeah, I'm still busy."

"Have you eaten yet?"

“I’ve eaten.”

"Then you should go back early."

"good."

Gu Mian hung up the phone and continued to organize the bookshelf.

After half an hour, it was finally almost done.

Gu Mian stepped on a stool and put the sorted books on the shelf.

Suddenly, Gu Mian felt dizzy and quickly got down from the stool, leaning on the table with both hands, gasping for breath.

Suddenly, I heard a man's anxious and panicked voice, "What's wrong with you?"
