Chapter 2 We Divorce
Gu Mian was so heartbroken that she almost suffocated. She pulled Li Tingshen's pants and begged, "Tingshen, I beg you to help me get in touch with the prison. My grandma just passed away, and I want to stay here to keep vigil for her and take care of her funeral affairs."
Li Ting frowned deeply, "Prison is a place that cannot be cleared with money. I know you are sad, but you should think before you speak."
"Haven't you thought about it?" Gu Mian looked up at him. "I was in prison for eleven months. I was taken away from prison and gave Yin Luoxue four blood transfusions. Wasn't it you who paid for it? Why can't it work now?"
"That's different."
"What's different?" Gu Mian suppressed his grief and continued to beg, "I know that in your heart, no one is more important than Yin Luoxue, but the dead are the most important. Grandma raised me and I was in prison before she died and couldn't fulfill my filial duty by her bedside. It is my duty to keep vigil after her death. I can't leave her alone without anyone to see her off, right? Ting Shen, take this as a plea from me."
"Don't you have an uncle? I will help you and let grandma pass away with dignity."
"This is not a matter of money." Gu Mian couldn't stop crying. "She's already gone. It doesn't make sense to spend any more money on the funeral. I just want to send grandma off one last time. Ting Shen, as long as you promise me, I can give Yin Luoxue as much blood as you want in the future!"
"Do you think the blood transfusion is your bargaining chip, a condition for exchange?" Li Ting looked down at her, his low and cold voice like snow that never melts. "Gu Mian, you owe Luoxue this. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be sitting in a wheelchair."
Gu Mian closed his eyes in pain.
A year ago, Yin Luoxue fell down the stairs and injured her lumbar spine, causing paralysis of the lower body. She falsely accused Gu Mian of pushing her.
No one in the Li family believed Gu Mian. Without surveillance and witnesses, she had no way of proving her innocence.
Finally, her husband Li Tingshen said to her: "Gu Mian, Luoxue is in so much pain that she wants to die. If you don't accept legal sanctions, she will never be able to get over this. Injuring someone and causing disability is punishable by three to ten years. Luoxue is kind, so you only need to serve one year in prison, which is a minor punishment and a major warning."
Gu Mian just thought it was ridiculous.
Of course she was unwilling and asked the police to intervene in the investigation.
At this time, Yin Luoxue took out a video, which showed her pushing Yin Luoxue downstairs, which completely convicted her of the crime.
She will never forget the way the Li family looked at her when the video was played.
Disgust and hatred, as if the same air she breathes is dirty...
......
Gu Mian was eventually sent back to prison by Li Tingshen's bodyguards.
She was so heartbroken from losing so much blood that she stayed in bed for two days.
Until the third day, in the prison activity room, Yin Luoxue’s birthday party was being reported on TV.
The president of the Li Group spent 100 million yuan to celebrate the birthday of his confidante.
In the picture, although Yin Luoxue is sitting in a wheelchair, her pure beauty cannot be concealed.
Li Tingshen stood beside Yin Luoxue, taking care of her while she ate, his eyes and brows were gentle.
They are truly a perfect match, with a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Gu Mian's tears fell like rain.
Grandma was buried today. He had clearly promised to help with the funeral arrangements, but now he was celebrating Bai Yueguang's birthday.
At this moment, Gu Mian finally understood.
It turns out that if someone doesn't love you, even if you give everything for him, you won't get any response in return.
Gu Mian has a secret in her heart. She has loved Li Tingshen for ten years.
Originally, he was an unattainable god, and she was just an ordinary person in the vast crowd.
Like two parallel lines that would never intersect, their fates were changed because of a car accident.
Three years ago, Li Ting was seriously injured in a car accident and became a vegetable.
The Li family sought help from many famous doctors but to no avail.
Madam Li believed in Feng Shui and proposed to give Li Tingshen a wife as a surprise.
Yin Luoxue, who was betrothed to him, was suddenly kidnapped at this moment.
Seeing that the auspicious day was approaching, Mrs. Li could only look for a girl with the same horoscope as her. She accidentally discovered Gu Mian, who worked as a part-time caregiver in the Li family.
In exchange, the grandmother who suffers from insomnia can be admitted to a hospital under the Leshi Group for free treatment.
The Li family's hospital is the best in China, but the cost is very high and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
Gu Mian agreed without much hesitation.
But no one knew that the reason she agreed was not only for her grandmother, but also to fulfill her own love.
Because before that, she had liked Li Tingshen for seven years, and liked him so much that even if he could never wake up in his lifetime, she was willing to stay with him and take care of him.
A month later, Li Tingshen miraculously woke up.
Upon learning that he had married a wife out of surprise, Li Ting was furious and immediately filed for divorce.
But when he accidentally found out that Gu Mian had rare panda blood, he stopped talking about the divorce.
From then on, Gu Mian became Yin Luoxue's mobile blood bank.
In order to make Li Ting happy, Gu Mian never complained.
During those two years, she did her best to take care of him and his family and tried to be a good wife until she was framed and imprisoned.
Ten years. A full ten years.
She gave Li Tingshen her purest love and most selfless dedication, but what did she get in return?
There was only Yin Luoxue in his eyes and heart, and he was disdainful and didn't care about her at all.
Maybe she was wrong. She shouldn't be so ignorant and delusionally hope that one day he would shift his gaze away from Yin Luoxue and notice her existence.
......
It rained on the day Gu Mian was released from prison.
No one came to pick her up, and by the time she took several buses back to Yunyue Bay where Li Tingshen was, she was soaked.
I opened the fingerprint lock and walked in, and saw Li Tingshen walking down the stairs.
Compared to Li Tingshen's well-dressed appearance, Gu Mian looked extremely ferocious at this moment.
Li Tingshen saw her, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why are you back?"
Gu Mian trembled his fingertips and whispered, "I am released today after serving my sentence."
"Sorry, I forgot." Li Tingshen came to her and stayed in front of her for two seconds, "You have a good rest, I'm going to go out for a while."
"Ting Shen." Gu Mian called him, "I have something to tell you."
Li Tingshen raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "I'm in a hurry. If you have anything to say, we can talk when I get back."
As they passed by, Gu Mian raised his hand and grabbed the sleeve of his suit, "Just one sentence."
Li Tingshen was forced to stop, a hint of impatience appeared on his handsome face, "Go ahead."
Gu Mian looked at his angular and perfect profile, with a faint smile on her face, but her tone was particularly firm, "Ting Shen, let's get a divorce."
Li Ting was startled for a moment, turned to look at her, and asked in confusion, "Just because I didn't pick you up from prison, you want to divorce me?"
"It's not because of this reason." Gu Mian pulled the corner of his lip, "I really want to divorce you. When you are free, we will go through the divorce procedures."
"Gu Mian, I don't have the time or mood to watch you make trouble now." The man's face darkened and he pushed her hand away. "Go take a shower and wake up."
Li Tingshen opened the door and left. Gu Mian stood there, staring blankly into some empty space.
Is she not sober enough?
No, she is sober.
I have never been so awake.
......
Gu Mian went upstairs to take a bath, then picked up his charged cell phone and turned it on.
After a month, I received a lot of messages on WeChat, but none of them were from Li Tingshen.
Gu Mian casually flipped through his circle of friends, and the next second, the fingertips that were swiping on the phone paused!
A few minutes ago, Yin Luoxue posted a message on WeChat Moments: [Companionship is the longest-lasting confession of love.]
The accompanying picture is a selfie of her and Li Tingshen. The man is lowering his head to peel an apple, while Yin Luoxue is facing the camera with a beautiful smile.
