Chapter 240 Pregnant with Illegitimate Child
Gu Xingzhi dodged to the side, and Liu Ma missed her attack and fell to the ground.
"You killed the lady!" Aunt Liu sat on the ground, pointed at Gu Xingzhi, and cried, accusing him, "You must have colluded with Lu Yueming to poison the lady!"
"What did you say?" Li Xingze became anxious upon hearing this and asked, "Mother Liu, do you have any evidence?"
If there was evidence, he would definitely bury Gu Xingzhi with him on the spot!
"Do you need any evidence? He is probably the person in the world who hates my wife the most! Who else could it be but him?"
Although Li Xingze hated Gu Xingzhi, he also knew that such things needed to be proven.
"Mother Liu, even if Gu Xingzhi doesn't get along with my mother, he wouldn't kill anyone, right?"
"My mother doesn't even have any shares in the Li Group now. She poses no threat to this illegitimate child. Gu Xingzhi has no motive to kill anyone."
"Second Master, you are too naive. You don't know how much he hates Madam!"
"Why does he hate my mother so much?" Li Xingze was curious. "Logically speaking, shouldn't my mother hate him as an illegitimate child more?"
"Madam..." Madam Liu started to speak, but stopped abruptly, "...In short, he is the person in the world who wants Madam to die the most! He must have teamed up with Lu Yueming to poison Madam!"
"Second Master, you must make a decision for Madam. Her death was really unjust..."
"Aunt Liu, have you made enough noise?" Madam Li's face was cold. "Qingyu is gone. You are extremely sad. I can understand."
"But if you made trouble at Qingyu's funeral, the Li family would lose all face if the news got out."
"Mother Zhang, take Mother Liu to rest."
"yes."
"I won't rest!" Aunt Liu cried and pushed away Aunt Zhang who was helping her. "I have served Madam all my life. Now that she is leaving, I must send her off well."
"But my wife will not rest in peace!" Aunt Liu stared at Gu Xingzhi, "One day, I will find evidence that you harmed my wife and avenge her!"
Gu Mian looked at Gu Xingzhi who remained calm.
After going through so much, his temperament has not changed at all, and he is still as gentle and graceful as before.
But Gu Mian couldn't understand him any more.
She had seen that Gu Xingzhi's mind was unfathomable.
Could it be that Liu Qingyu’s death was really related to him?
......
Dinner after the funeral was arranged at the hotel.
Gu Mian had no appetite, so he ate two bites and then got up to go to the sky garden upstairs to get some fresh air.
"Mianmian."
Gu Xingzhi's voice came from behind.
Gu Mian didn't turn around, but just asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xingzhi walked up to her and looked at her with a worried look on his face. "You look bad. Is it because Liu Qingyu is sad?"
Gu Mian turned his head and looked directly into his deep eyes. "Why did Aunt Liu insist that it was you who did the harm to Liu Qingyu?"
Gu Xingzhi smiled calmly, "Mother Liu is too sad, I don't take it to heart... What, do you believe her words?"
"I'm just curious why she reacted so strongly."
"She was a loyal servant. It was hard for her to accept her master's death and she was eager to find someone to vent her emotions. This was normal."
Gu Mian didn't say anything else.
"Mianmian, you are unhappy, right?" Gu Xingzhi asked, "Is Li Tingshen not good to you?"
Gu Mian withdrew his gaze and looked at the prosperous night scene in front of him again, but his eyes could not help but feel sore.
"He's very nice to me."
"Mianmian, the Li family is a place of trouble. I have always hoped that Li Tingshen could take you away from this vortex."
"A place full of troubles is caused by someone stirring up trouble." Gu Mian said calmly, "Xingzhi, I hope you won't become the one stirring up trouble."
"I can't."
"Really?" Gu Mian curled his lips and smiled coldly, "You could have stayed away from the Li family. With your ability, you could have lived a good life even without the Li family, but you took the initiative to walk into this vortex."
"You said before that you finally found your family and you cherished their relationship, so you returned to the Li family."
"But what happened later made it hard for me to believe that you had an open mind."
"Mianmian, you can't deny everything about me because of one thing." Gu Xingzhi defended, "Except for trying to get you, I haven't done anything else that is against the law."
"I hope so." Gu Mian said calmly, "I hope you always remember Aunt Gu's expectations of you and don't let her down."
"I have to go back now. Excuse me."
After Gu Mian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The elevator stopped at the restaurant floor. Just as Gu Mian was about to leave, he saw Aunt Liu, who looked haggard, walk in.
Gu Mian stopped and asked, "Aunt Liu, are you leaving?"
"Well, let's go back to the Li family's old house and pack up my wife's things."
"You're not feeling well. I'll take you downstairs to get a taxi." Gu Mian pressed the elevator button and said, "Mother Liu, I'm sorry for your loss."
Although Aunt Liu knew that Gu Mian and Liu Qingyu did not get along, she was the eldest young lady of the Li family after all, and she also came to attend the funeral today as the daughter-in-law. She could not target her like in the past, and could only nod and say, "Thank you, eldest young lady."
"You are not an impulsive person. You pointed out in front of so many people today that Gu Xingzhi and Lu Yueming poisoned Ting Shen's mother. It should not be just due to excessive grief, right?"
"Otherwise, why don't you say that I did it together with Gu Yueming? After all, she and I are truly incompatible."
Aunt Liu glanced at Gu Mian and asked, "Is the eldest young lady helping Gu Xingzhi to test me?"
"I don't have the time to do that. I just want to know what's going on. After all, I also want to help Ting Shen find out the truth behind this matter."
Aunt Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Whether you are doing this for the young master or for some other purpose, it doesn't matter."
"That's right, I'm sure that Madam was murdered by Gu Xingzhi. He must have done this to avenge her mother, Gu Wanrou!"
Gu Mian frowned, "According to what you said, Xingzhi's mother Gu Wanrou was killed by Liu Qingyu?"
"Yes." Aunt Liu said, "Gu Wanrou is shameless. She dared to climb into the bed of her cousin's husband while the lady was pregnant, and she even got pregnant with an illegitimate child. Doesn't she deserve to die?"
Gu Mian was completely stunned.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that it took her a while to digest it all.
"You said Gu Wanrou is Liu Qingyu's cousin?"
"Yes, otherwise how could you think that Gu Xingzhi looked so much like the eldest young master? Because not only do they have the same father, but even their mothers are related by blood."
"Then how did Liu Qingyu kill Gu Wanrou?" Gu Mian continued to ask, "Gu Wanrou clearly died of illness."
"She died of an illness, AIDS." Liu's mother sneered, "But you don't know how she contracted AIDS."
"Didn't he get infected accidentally while selling blood out of desperation?"
Mother Liu snorted coldly, "Gu Wanrou is really good at making up stories. It's obvious that she got the virus from working as a prostitute!"
Gu Mian's face turned pale. "Impossible... She is not that kind of person! No matter how desperate she is, she will never do such a thing to herself."
"She is so hypocritical and noble, of course she won't take this path, so Madam found a few men to take turns with her!" Liu Ma said with disdain, "She has already been taken turns, if she doesn't take this path, she and the bastard will only end up dead. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Gu Mian took two steps back and his back hit the cold wall.
She felt as if she was in an ice cellar, feeling the cold coming from all directions and drilling into her bones.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened on the first floor.
Mother Liu walked out directly.
Gu Mian reacted belatedly and immediately chased after her, grabbing Liu Ma at the hotel entrance.
"So Gu Wanrou's tragedy was caused by Liu Qingyu alone!"
"No wonder you thought Liu Qingyu's death was related to Gu Xingzhi. It turns out she had done such a dirty thing!"
"Madam, please be polite." Aunt Liu stopped and looked at her coldly with poisonous eyes. "Madam just left and you are humiliating her here. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"You know in your heart who deserves to be struck by lightning!"
"You..." Aunt Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak. "You are noble. If your sister had slept with the young master while you were pregnant and got pregnant, I wonder if you would still be so noble."
"I will get a divorce and stay away from the scumbag, not the flatterer." Gu Mian's face was cold. "Unless this woman has hurt me in the same way, otherwise, I will not retaliate against her in such a cruel way."
"Most importantly, based on my understanding of Gu Wanrou, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to climb into Li Hongxuan's bed!"
"She has very positive values and would never do such a thing, so it must have been Li Hongxuan who took the initiative, or even possibly forced her!"
"Madam, I don't want to discuss Gu Wanrou's past with you here. I have to leave now."
Gu Mian did not make things difficult for her.
After all, she was just a servant, at most she aided and abetted the evil, but she was not the culprit.
Gu Mian watched the taxi go away before he looked away.
When she turned around, she saw Gu Xingzhi standing behind her without her knowing when.
I don't know if it was an illusion caused by sleepiness, but I always felt that his eyes were filled with sadness.
Gu Mian realized something and walked up to him and asked, "How much did you hear?"
