Chapter 25 Cuckold

As soon as these words came out, everyone present smelled a strong hint of provocation.

But combined with what Li Tingshen said just now, it felt like something was wrong.

Li Tingshen has been married for three years, but during these three years Yin Luoxue has never severed her relationship with him, and still regards herself as the eldest lady of the Li family to outsiders.

Tsk tsk.

If it wasn't for Li Ting's deep understanding, then she was shameless.

Yin Luoxue didn't notice that the way people looked at her had changed a little, so she pretended to be casual and said, "Gu Mian, why didn't you prepare a gift for Mr. Ji and his wife? This is too rude... But you rarely attend such occasions, so I can't blame you."

The more the people present listened, the more they felt something was wrong. This was a blatant provocation to the queen.

However, Yin Luoxue dared to provoke her like this. Looking at the silent appearance of this Mrs. Li, it can be seen that her status in the Li family is not high. At least her family background is not better than Yin Luoxue's.

When wealthy families get married, the most important thing is family background. Only when the two families are well matched can they join forces and move to the next level.

Since there is no family background, it must be true love.

But despite Yin Luoxue's provocation, Li Tingshen didn't say a word, and it seemed that he didn't love her at all.

Although Gu Mian was not prepared to pay attention to Yin Luoxue, it was indeed rude not to bring a gift. Li Tingshen did not tell her that she was attending someone else's wedding anniversary today, otherwise she would have prepared a gift in advance.

Gu Mian was about to open his mouth to apologize when he heard Mrs. Ji say, "Ms. Yin, your words are too harsh. Not to mention that President Li sent someone to deliver the gift that he and Mrs. Li carefully prepared early in the morning, even if there was no gift, you wouldn't say such a thing. Our Ji family doesn't lack such a gift."

Yin Luoxue's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Mrs. Ji handed Yin Luoxue's gift to the maid, took Gu Mian's hand, and said, "Besides, Mrs. Li has always been a recluse. She has already given me a great honor by coming to my house today. So what if she didn't bring a gift?"

Mrs. Ji's intention to support Gu Mian was obvious, and she gave her enough face.

Yin Luoxue gritted her teeth secretly, and kept a proper smile on her face, but it was a little stiff. "I misunderstood, Gu Mian, I'm sorry."

"Let's go and eat." Mrs. Ji took Gu Mian's hand and left.

The two of them came to the buffet area, and Gu Mian thanked, "Thank you, Mrs. Ji, for helping me out."

"I'm just telling the truth. I received Mr. Li's gift a long time ago. The person who delivered it said that he and his wife picked it out together. But at that time, Old Ji and I thought that Mrs. Li was..."

"It's Yin Luoxue, right?" Gu Mian smiled and said what she was embarrassed to say.

"It looks like there is something going on between the three of you?" Mrs. Ji could not hide her anger. "I think that Yin Luoxue is not a good person. She speaks in a teasing way. You should not be too weak. You are a dignified and upright lady. You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with such a playboy."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Mrs. Li is just a title, which cannot be compared with true love. But thank you Mrs. Ji for standing up for me."

"I just can't stand these women who are trying their best to be mistresses. They can do anything else but have to be mistresses." Mrs. Ji waved her hands, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Eat something first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight the mistress."

Although Gu Mian had no intention of fighting Yin Luoxue, he was indeed hungry, so he took some food and found a seat to sit down and eat.

Not far away, Yin Luoxue looked at Li Tingshen aggrievedly, "Brother Tingshen, I didn't say anything wrong just now, why is Mrs. Ji targeting me?"

Li Tingshen said calmly, "Next time, ask clearly before you speak."

Yin Luoxue was so angry, but she could only hold it in. "Why didn't you invite me to such an event? Why did you bring Gu Mian instead? If she makes a fool of herself, it will embarrass you."

"You are in hospital, and grandma has ordered that she must be brought to the hospital."

Yin Luoxue’s back teeth were about to break. It was that damn old woman again. She would never let her go!

"Boss Li."

A middle-aged man came over and said, "Ms. Yin is here too."

"Mr. Lu Lang." Yin Luoxue greeted him politely, "You are here too."

"I treated Mr. Ji's mother before, so I know her well." Lu Lang asked, "How is Miss Yin's health recently?"

"Same old, but I feel much better after taking the medicine you prescribed."

Lu Lang nodded, "As long as you can find my senior brother Lu Ming, your illness will definitely be cured, and there is hope that you can stand up again."

Yin Luoxue smiled brightly, "Brother Tingshen has been helping me look for it."

"I have also been trying to find out the whereabouts of my senior brother, but unfortunately, there is no news."

"Thank you Mr. Lu Lang for your concern for me."

“It should be.”

Li Tingshen was soon surrounded by people toasting him. Yin Luoxue wanted to stay with him, but she was sitting in a wheelchair and was soon squeezed out.

She turned around and saw several rich ladies surrounding Gu Mian and complimenting her on her beauty.

Yin Luoxue suddenly became even angrier.

Suddenly, a soft and tender voice sounded, "Mom!"

When everyone looked, they saw a little boy in a black suit running in.

It was normal to have children in such an occasion, but what was surprising was that the little boy ran directly towards Gu Mian, with one hand in a plaster cast, and hugged her with the other hand.

Everyone was surprised. Li Tingshen had been married for three years, but this little boy looked to be only four or five years old. Did they get married because of pregnancy?

Gu Mian was also surprised to see Xiao Bao, and quickly squatted down and asked, "Xiao Bao, why are you here? You are dressed so handsomely today!"

"Dad said he would bring me to the banquet, but I didn't expect to see Mom." Xiaobao turned around and waved at Pei Jinchuan, "Dad, Mom is here too!"

When the people present saw Pei Jianchuan, they were stunned.

Pei Jinchuan and Xiaobao are almost cut from the same mold, and it goes without saying that they are biological father and son.

But Xiaobao also calls Mrs. Li "Mom".

So messy.

Pei Jianchuan walked up to Xiaobao and reminded him, "Xiaobao, this is Aunt Gu Mian, not Mom."

Xiaobao corrected him earnestly, "This is my mother. She accompanies me every day and she loves me the most!"

Yin Luoxue looked at Li Tingshen subconsciously, and seeing that his face had already turned as gloomy as water, she couldn't help but laugh.

She knew that someone like Gu Mian, who was born with bad luck, would cause trouble wherever he went.

Yin Luoxue suppressed the smile on her face, moved forward in her wheelchair, and said loudly, "Gu Mian, what's wrong with you? You actually called them here, father and son. Do you want to embarrass Brother Tingshen in public?"

After he finished speaking, everyone present noticed Li Tingshen's ugly expression.

This scene is comparable to a Shura battlefield.

Gu Mian stood up, stroked Xiao Bao's hair, and said with a smile, "Mr. Pei and I don't have any shameful relationship, so there's nothing embarrassing about it."

"You said that in front of so many people. He called you mom, but he is not Brother Tingshen's child. If you don't know, you might think that Brother Tingshen was cheated on and wanted to be a father."

Gu Mian turned and looked at her. "Don't you know best what the relationship between Xiaobao and I is? Brother Tingshen, who claims to care about you, should explain it to him instead of saying these things here to lead others to guess."

Yin Luoxue sneered, "You did something shameful, but you want me to explain it to you. Are you crazy?"

"I think you're crazy." Gu Mian looked at her expressionlessly, "Believe it or not, I'll sue you for defamation."

"Sue me? Just on your own?"

"I can't sue, but Mr. Pei can. Have you forgotten that you were beaten into a pig's head?"

Yin Luoxue was furious, "Shut up!"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "If you want to throw dirty water on me and Mr. Pei, please show me evidence. Just because a child calls me mom, you think there is something between me and Mr. Pei. If a little kid calls you a good grandson, do you still have to call him grandpa?"

"You..." Yin Luoxue's face turned pale with anger.

Xiao Bao said seriously, "Mom, I don't want such a good grandson."

Mrs. Ji standing by couldn't help laughing without caring about her elegance.

Yin Luoxue suddenly felt even more embarrassed, and in a rage she raised her hand to hit Xiaobao.

Gu Mian was quick to protect Xiaobao, and Yin Luoxue's slap landed on Gu Mian.

"Ms. Yin, what are you doing?" Mrs. Ji said unhappily, "Mr. Pei is a distinguished guest of our family, and you actually hit Mr. Pei in front of me. What status do you rely on to be so presumptuous here?"

Yin Luoxue then realized what she had done and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ji, I was too angry. I didn't mean to really hit him..."

Pei Jianchuan walked up to Gu Mian and asked, "Are you okay?"

Gu Mian shook his head, "It's okay."

Pei Jianchuan then looked at Yin Luoxue, with a cold look in his eyes.

Yin Luoxue shuddered with fear, "Brother Tingshen...Brother Tingshen, save me!"
