Chapter 242 Take Care of Your Wife
Gu Mian curled his lips, "So people from your Liu family choose to have secret meetings in crowded places."
"Gu Mian, please be polite." Liu Yunxi said righteously, "My mother is the elder after all, you have to call her aunt, how can you talk back to her?"
Gu Mian looked at them calmly, "I'm not in the mood to argue with her, but if she wants to throw dirty water on me, she's not qualified."
Mother Liu was furious, "Ting Shen! I am the elder after all, your wife is so disrespectful, and you don't care about it!"
Li Tingshen put his hands in his pockets and just looked at Gu Mian solemnly without saying a word.
Li Xingze rushed forward and scolded him angrily, "Gu Mian, my brother likes you, you'd better do your duty to me and don't get entangled with this illegitimate child!"
Gu Mian retracted his gaze and looked at Li Xingze in front of him, "I understand that you are in a bad mood because your mother just passed away, so I won't teach you how to behave today. Goodbye."
After Gu Mian finished speaking, he ignored Li Xingze's face which was as black as the bottom of a pot and went straight to the roadside to hail a taxi.
The next second, someone grabbed my wrist.
Li Tingshen pulled her straight towards the parking lot.
Gu Mian didn't struggle and let him pull her into the car.
Rolls-Royce quickly drove away.
"Fox charmer!" Mother Liu cursed, her eyes full of gloom, "Isn't it just a pretty face? What's so great about it! It's not like we don't have Yunxi!"
"Yunxi, are you really confident? If not, just go get plastic surgery and make your face look like Gu Mian's. Then you won't be afraid that Ting Shen won't like it!"
"Mom, there's no need at all." Liu Yunxi said confidently, "Don't worry, Ting Shen will be mine soon..."
......
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Li Tingshen raised the partition and asked, "Gu Mian, what did you just say to Gu Xingzhi?"
"Nothing." Gu Mian looked at the night scene passing by outside the car window, "Ting Shen, what kind of person do you think your mother is?"
Li Ting was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Gu Xingzhi told you something, right?"
Gu Mian then turned to look at him, "So you know everything..."
"If you're talking about Gu Wanrou, I know." Li Tingshen admitted frankly, "I investigated the mother and son, and confronted Gu Xingzhi."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't want to destroy the good image of Aunt Gu in your mind, nor do I want you to hate my mother even more."
"A woman's chastity is never hidden under her skirt!" Gu Mian's voice trembled as she spoke word by word, "Aunt Gu was a prostitute, but in my heart, she is still clean because she was forced!"
"Do you know what a good person she is? But her life was ruined by your parents..." Gu Mian looked at him coldly, "Ting Shen, you are really terrible..."
Li Tingshen was startled!
He hugged Gu Mian into his arms, "Gu Mian, don't look at me with such cold and hateful eyes... I can't choose what kind of people my parents are, I can only make myself different from them..."
"Is it different?" Gu Mian's tears rolled down. "What about Lu Yueming's death? Did she deserve it? In the eyes of you Li family, are the lives of Aunt Gu and my stepmother as cheap as ants? Can they be controlled by you?"
"You are indeed different from your mother. You are better than her and you gave my mother a good time..."
"It's not like that!" Li Tingshen hugged her tightly, "Gu Mian, you should have told me about your relationship earlier, and none of this would have happened. You should have told me earlier..."
Gu Mian burst into tears, "I tried my best. After the incident, I kept calling you, but you didn't answer!"
Li Ting was stunned.
Liu Qingyu passed away suddenly, and he was caught off guard. He didn't carry his cell phone with him at all times.
After missing Gu Mian’s call for the first time, he called back, but Gu Mian’s phone was turned off.
Later I heard from the programmer that she was already on the plane back home.
When he missed her for the second time, he was on his way to the hot spring villa to meet Lu Yueming.
Because he was too tired, he fell asleep in the back seat with his cell phone muted.
After arriving at the hot spring villa, he got out of the car without taking his cell phone.
It was his fault. If he had received Gu Mian's call, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened...
......
The next day, Gu Mian began to investigate Liu Qingyu's death.
She had already read the autopsy report, which stated that Liu Qingyu had died of potassium cyanide poisoning and had no external injuries on his body.
Gu Mian checked with the bodyguards outside the hot spring villa that day and found out that no strangers entered the villa.
In order not to disturb Lu Yueming's treatment of Liu Qingyu, bodyguards are not allowed to enter the villa without permission.
This can be proven by the surveillance cameras around the villa. There are two RVs for them to rest in, and indeed no bodyguard entered the villa that day.
There was also a RV with doctors on call.
Because there was nothing wrong with Liu Qingyu's health that day, the doctor did not go in.
In the villa, there were only Lu Yueming and Liu Ma.
The other maid who was supposed to do the cleaning and cooking had something to do that day and asked for leave.
No wonder Liu's mother insisted that it was Lu Yueming who did it. Apart from her, Lu Yueming was indeed the most suspicious.
Gu Mian believed what Li Tingshen said.
So why didn't Lu Yueming deny the poisoning on the phone?
Why did Li Ting have to come to the villa to discuss it in detail?
What did she want to say to Li Tingshen?
It’s a pity that with Lu Yueming’s death, all of this will never be answered.
But Gu Mian had no intention of giving up.
She wanted to find clues from Liu Qingyu's body.
The body has been cremated, and the only person who has had contact with it is the forensic doctor.
She decided to interview the forensic doctor in person to see if there were any missing clues.
Gu Mian called the programmer and asked for the medical examiner's contact information.
"Ma'am, I'll make the contact for you and take you directly to see her."
"That's certainly better, thank you."
A few minutes later, the program called and said in a panic, "Madam, something happened..."
"What's wrong?"
"The medical examiner died in a car accident last night!"
"How could this happen?" Gu Mian asked, "Is it an accident?"
"The other party was driving drunk and crashed directly into the medical examiner's car and died on the spot."
"How could such a coincidence happen?" Gu Mian suddenly felt a chill down his spine. "She performed an autopsy on Liu Qingyu, and just when I was about to ask her about it, he died?"
"It's indeed an unusual coincidence. I will continue to investigate and see if I can find any clues."
"The death of the medical examiner further confirmed my guess. Liu Qingyu's death is definitely not as simple as it seems!" Gu Mian said firmly, "Lu Yueming was definitely wronged!"
......
The program tracked down the driver who caused the accident and found that he had been imprisoned for theft and had just been released six months after serving his sentence. He was now an unemployed vagrant.
More importantly, he is allergic to alcohol and doesn't drink at all.
This further confirmed Gu Mian's guess that the forensic doctor's death was not an accident at all, but murder!
Gu Mian feels that there is an invisible hand behind this series of events pushing everything!
She can't see these hands, but they can hit the vital points again and again!
Who will be the next to get into trouble?
Gu Mian didn't dare to think about it.
The investigation of the program is still ongoing, but no clues have been found.
The driver who caused the accident was most likely bribed, but there were no unusual funds deposited into either his own account or his family's account.
Even the call records didn't reveal any clues.
The investigation has reached a bottleneck and cannot move forward.
All of Gu Mian's speculations could not be confirmed.
She was in a bad mood and stayed in Yunyue Bay every day, having no intention of going to work.
I even started to feel anxious and needed to drink alcohol every night to fall asleep.
In the evening, Li Tingshen walked into the master bedroom and saw Gu Mian lying on the sofa in front of the French window drinking.
Li Tingshen's heart ached, he walked forward and took the red wine bottle and goblet from her hands.
"Go to sleep, stop torturing yourself."
“Who told you that I was torturing myself?” Gu Mian smiled, “I just wanted to relax and not get drunk.”
Li Tingshen put the things in his hand on the tea table and sat down next to her. "I heard that you have a poor appetite and didn't eat much for dinner, is that right?"
"I'm used to eating the food cooked by Mother Yang." Gu Mian's eyes were filled with mist. "It turns out that habit is really a terrible thing. It would be great if Mother Yang was still here..."
Li Tingshen raised his hand to tidy up a strand of hair by her ear, "I'll change a group of chefs, or find a few people who are good at making home-cooked dishes, and cook according to Mama Yang's taste. I'm sure I can make the taste you like."
"Mother Yang is gone, and my stepmother is gone too. Those who loved me and those I loved are all gone..." Tears rolled down Gu Mian's fair face, and she murmured to herself, "The road ahead is so long, I don't know how to go on..."
"You still have me." Li Tingshen raised his hands to hold her face, and wiped away the tears on her face with his thin fingertips. "Gu Mian, we are husband and wife. No matter how difficult or long the road ahead is, I will accompany you."
Gu Mian's tears flowed even more fiercely.
Li Ting felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he kissed her directly on the lips.
Gu Mian didn't respond, but he kept kissing her, taking off her suspender nightgown while kissing her...
