Chapter 250 Do you want to marry Gu Mian?

"What is it?"

"As soon as I landed in the imperial capital, the Ye family found me and said they wanted to thank the Gu family for raising me, and asked me to propose any conditions."

Gu Mian remained silent.

"Mianmian, I can see that the Ye family is very sincere, but I refused." Gu Zhiyuan said, "My parents decided to bring you back to the Gu family to raise you, not for these reasons, so I can't take the Ye family's money."

"Like you said, you are a member of the Gu family. It is the Gu family's responsibility to raise you. Although the Gu family is poor, they are very strong."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Uncle, from now on, there will only be two of us in the Gu family. We really can't let grandpa and grandma down."

"Your grandparents in heaven would be very pleased to see that you are living such a good life and have a child."

"Um."

......

Study upstairs.

Ye Junlin was handling official business when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The person who came in was Jiang Yi, with a face that was as smiling as a flower.

Ye Junlin glanced at him and said, "You won the lottery, why are you smiling like this?"

"Tsk, winning the lottery is worth my laugh?" Jiang Yi handed over a fruit plate, "I personally asked the maid to cut this fruit for you, taste it."

“I don’t like fruit.”

"No wonder you have a stern face all day long." Jiang Yi ate a grape, "You should eat more fruits like me to be liked by others, brother-in-law."

Ye Junlin frowned, "What did you call me?"

"Our two families have an engagement. What? Do you want to deny it?"

Ye Junlin stopped the work in his hands and leaned back in the big chair, "Do you want to marry Mianmian?"

"I've told you before, I like her very much." Jiang Yi said while eating fruit, "I never thought that even God was helping me. She is actually your biological sister, my destined fiancée. Of course I should fulfill the engagement and marry her!"

"It seems that the Jiang family has really spoiled you to the point of lawlessness." Ye Junlin tapped the wooden desk with his fingertips. "Not to mention that Mianmian doesn't like you and wants to snatch you away from Li Tingshen, I think you don't like your whole family and want to play a game of Nine Clans Elimination. "

Jiang Yi: “…”

"But I just like to sleep, what do you say I should do?"

"Mianmian and Li Tingshen are living happily together. I won't let you mess around with me, so give up on this idea as soon as possible." Ye Junlin said, "Your sister is unbearable. I won't marry her. My sister is already married and can't marry you. So the engagement between the two families is terminated."

Jiang Yi's mouth twitched, "If it weren't for your Ye family losing Gu Mian, she wouldn't be wandering around and would have married me a long time ago..."

Ye Junlin was stunned, and a look of pain appeared on his handsome face for a moment.

Jiang Yi realized that he had said the wrong thing, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't feel bad, isn't the current situation good? It's better than someone like Yin Luoxue being your sister."

"But Mianmian refused to forgive me."

"Gu Mian is an extremely kind person. All kind people have soft hearts. Give her some time, and she will forgive you."

Ye Junlin raised his eyes and looked at him, "Master Jiang can actually comfort people? It's rare..."

"Who told you that you were sleeping with her brother? Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to talk to you..."

"My sister is beautiful and has a good personality. Many men like her, but she only likes Li Tingshen. You should be careful and don't bring trouble to her, otherwise I won't forgive you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I was just trying to comfort you, but you turned against me so quickly..."

"There is one more thing." Ye Junlin's eyes turned cold, "I'm afraid your sister Liu Yunxi can't be saved."

The smile on Jiang Yi's face froze.

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about it. Gu Mian is your biological sister. How could you continue to protect her for my family?" Jiang Yi pouted, "Whatever. I don't like her anyway. She's such a disgrace..."

"In order to please Mian Mian, I should immediately bring Liu Yunxi to her and let her do whatever she wants."

"Aren't you going to do this?" Jiang Yi was curious. "You don't have to worry about me. I don't have any feelings for Liu Yunxi. As long as Gu Mian is happy, you can do whatever you want."

"Just because you don't like it doesn't mean your family is willing to give it up." Ye Junlin said carefully, "The Ye and Jiang families are old friends. I don't want this matter to affect the relationship between the two families."

"So I will not take action against Liu Yunxi, nor will I continue to protect her. I will send her back to the Jiang family and explain the situation."

"As for how Li Tingshen will deal with her, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I have given the Jiang family enough face by not dealing with her for my sister."

Jiang Yi nodded, "It is indeed a great honor, you are welcome to do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

......

Gu Mian didn't expect to see Wang Shulan again so soon.

She met Wang Shulan on the first floor of the main house when she went to give acupuncture to Mr. Ye.

"Hey, this isn't taking a nap."

Wang Shulan was wearing a Chanel-style suit, a classic piece from the luxury brand, and she looked completely different from the boss lady at a hot pot restaurant.

Wang Shulan crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Gu Mian with disdain, "I heard that you are so aloof that you refuse to acknowledge the Ye family. You are indeed raised by those two old fools. You just like to seek fame and pretend to be aloof..."

Gu Mian frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said those two old fools taught you to seek fame and pretend to be noble."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Why, you're divorced and you don't pretend anymore?"

"Have you forgotten how you looked when you insisted on buying a house in the capital and begged your grandmother to give you the down payment?"

Wang Shulan's face darkened, and she said righteously, "It is only natural for her, as the mother-in-law, to pay the down payment for her son's house purchase!"

"Go out and ask, whose house is not bought by the man's family?"

"Didn't your grandma buy you a house?" Gu Mian said coldly, "She used all her wealth to buy you a school district house in Haicheng so that Gu Xing could go to school. You were not satisfied and insisted that she buy you a house in the imperial capital."

"It's fine if you buy a house in the capital, but you still refuse to sell the house in Haicheng. Do you know that the money your grandma raised for the down payment was all borrowed?"

"If the old woman dares to borrow, she will be able to pay it back. What are you complaining about?" Wang Shulan sneered, "Doesn't she still have money to buy a house in the school district to support your schooling?"

Gu Mian's face turned even colder. "If you hadn't stopped me from transferring my household registration to my uncle's name, grandma wouldn't have bought me another house without telling me just to let me go to school."

If she had known, she would rather not go to Haicheng to study than let her grandmother bear such great financial pressure!

If grandma hadn't been overworked, she wouldn't have fallen ill.

This is the eternal pain in her heart.

"It's my house, why should you move your household registration in?" Wang Shulan glared at her. "The facts prove that I was right not to agree, because you are an ungrateful person!"

"Doesn't that old woman love you? Well, I won't let her have an easy life! She deserves to be exhausted to death!"

Gu Mian's eyes were cold, "Someone come!"

The bodyguard behind him took two steps forward and walked in front of Wang Shulan.

Before Wang Shulan could react, two slaps landed on her face.

"ah!"

The man was so strong that Wang Shulan gasped in pain!

"Gu Mian, are you crazy? How dare you let someone beat me up!"

"She has a dirty mouth, so of course she has to be beaten." Gu Mian said coldly, "Keep beating her until her mouth is clean!"

"How dare you!" Wang Shulan said with her neck stiff, "I am your elder!"

"When my grandmother was alive, she hoped to see my uncle's marriage be harmonious, so I have always respected you. But now, you are divorced, and you are not my aunt anymore." Gu Mian looked at her coldly, "A stranger dares to disrespect my family, so of course I have to teach him a lesson!"

After saying this, the bodyguard continued to slap him.

Wang Shulan fell to the ground, but the bodyguard never stopped.

The wailing sounds echoed in the huge and luxurious villa.

"Mom!"

Gu Xing heard the noise and came down from the building.

Seeing his own mother being beaten, Gu Xing rushed forward and pushed the bodyguard away, "Get out of my way! You dare to hit my mother! Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Gu Mian smiled faintly, "You have become quite capable. Even though you are pregnant with a child, you dare to kill my people at will."

"Gu Mian, it's you again!" Gu Xing helped Wang Shulan up and said angrily, "I didn't go looking for you, but you came here to provoke me, right?"

"Your mother came out to bite people randomly, so I naturally have to deal with such a vicious dog."

"Who do you say is the evil dog?"

Wang Shulan was almost dying of pain, and she hated Gu Mian immediately!

She covered her swollen face and cursed, "You took advantage of Li Ting's deep love for sleeping with you and acted like a bully. You actually dared to attack me!"

"I am the grandmother of the great-grandson of the head of the Ye family. Even if you are the daughter of the Ye family, you are married. What qualifications do you have to compare with the child in Xingxing's belly!"

Gu Mian: "......"

Just as she was about to speak, a stern and cold voice came into her ears, "What did you say? Say it again."

A few people turned around and saw Mr. Ye sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed out of the elevator by Uncle Zhong.

"Master, you've come just in time." Wang Shulan immediately stepped forward with a pig-like face and said, "Gu Mian is so bold that she dared to act so recklessly in the Ye family! Look at what she did to my face after she had someone beat me up..."

Old Master Ye looked at her coldly, "She is my granddaughter. I can beat you if I want to. Do I need to pick a day?"

Wang Shulan: “…”

"Grandpa, my daughter is your granddaughter-in-law."

"When did I get a granddaughter-in-law? How come I didn't know?"

"My daughter Xingxing is pregnant with your first great-grandson, and she came to the Ye family specifically to nurture the baby. I am the child's grandmother, and the Ye family should treat me as a guest of honor!"

Old Master Ye looked at Gu Xing and said, "It seems that I have been bedridden for too long. Anything can be brought into the Ye family to show off."

Gu Xing's face turned pale, "Grandpa, how can you say that to me..."

"Who is your grandfather?" Old Master Ye said coldly, "Also, who allowed you to enter the house?"

"I'm pregnant with your great-grandson, so of course I have to go back to the Ye family to take care of the baby. Huaizhi said that this is the family rule of the Ye family."

"House rules..." Mr. Ye's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, "Since we are talking about house rules, the Ye family hasn't gathered together for a long time. Ah Zhong, let everyone come over."

"Yes, sir."

......

When Gu Mian finished acupuncture on Mr. Ye and went downstairs, the living room was already full of people.

Almost all the members of the Ye family have arrived.

Moreover, even the servants were not avoided; it was an open conversation.

Master Ye sat on the main seat and looked at Gu Mian lovingly, "Mian Mian, come sit here with Master."

“No need.” Gu Mian sat down in the farthest seat and looked at Gu Xing.

Gu Xing met her gaze, touched his flat belly proudly, and gave Gu Mian a provocative look.

Gu Mian: "......"

Sitting next to Gu Xing was a man wearing a high-end suit. He looked to be less than 40 years old and looked a bit like Ye Junlin.

Gu Mian knew without asking that this was Ye Huaizhi, the eldest grandson of Mr. Ye, the cousin of Ye Junlin, and Gu Xing’s lover.

"This is my sister, right?" Ye Huaizhi looked at Gu Mian, "As expected of a member of our Ye family, she is so pretty..."

Gu Mian met Ye Huaizhi's gaze.

His eyes were deep and cold, with a sharpness that could see into people's hearts.

Gu Mian nodded politely, "Thank you for the compliment."

Ye Huaizhi retracted his gaze and looked at Old Master Ye again, "Grandpa, now that everyone is here, can we get down to business?"

Master Ye smiled and said, "Go ahead."

"According to the family rules of the Ye family, as long as a female member is pregnant, she can move back to the Ye family. Now that Gu Xing is pregnant, it is only natural that we should return to the Ye family to take care of the baby."

Perhaps fearing that Gu Mian was not clear, Uncle Zhong, who was standing behind Old Master Ye, spoke respectfully, "Miss, the heir of the Ye family has always been the most capable person. In order to protect the rights of the heir, after the candidate is determined, the competitors of the same generation must move out of the Ye family."

"But in order to cultivate an excellent heir for the next generation, if the young lady who moved out of the Ye family becomes pregnant, she can move back to the Ye family. If she gives birth to a son, she will continue to live in the Ye family and raise the child."

"If the baby is a girl, we will have to move out of the Ye family again."

Gu Mian: "......"

If you don't know about this rule of favoring boys over girls, you would think you are living in the Qing Dynasty.

Ye Junlin looked at Gu Mian's speechless expression and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I think it's time to change this rule of the Ye family."

"What era is this? Only men are still allowed to be heirs. In fact, girls are no worse than boys. Look at Mianmian, she is so outstanding."

"Indeed." Old Master Ye looked at Gu Mian with a smile, "Our Mi Mi is indeed outstanding. Not only has she achieved success in the career she is passionate about, but she has also managed Gu's Pharmaceutical Company very well. This is really rare."

Ye Junlin said, "Grandpa, if Mianmian is willing, I can give her the position of my heir."

Everyone: "......"

The position of heir that others fought so hard for was simply given to Gu Mian?

Just as Gu Mian was about to speak, he heard Master Ye say with a smile, "Of course no problem! That's exactly what Master meant!"

Everyone: "...???"

It's just... pretty outrageous.

Gu Mian was speechless, "Mr. Ye is joking."

"I'm not joking." Ye Junlin looked at her seriously, "As long as you like it, I can give it to you."

Gu Mian: "......"

"I'm not interested."

Gu Xing was so angry that his face turned pale.

How can she get something that she has worked so hard to get by just sleeping with her eyes closed!

How is she worse than Gu Mian? Why does the whole world revolve around Gu Mian!

And she can only live an easy and wealthy life by trying hard to please a married man!

She is not willing to give in!

A flash of coldness flashed across Ye Huaizhi's eyes, and he said, "Grandpa, it's impossible for the Ye family's rules to be changed just because of me, right? This is not fair..."

"I didn't say I wanted to change it." Old Master Ye said sternly, "It is true that this is the family rule of the Ye family, but there has never been a precedent of a mistress bringing a baby home pregnant. How will you make the Tang family and Yuanyuan feel?"

Tang Yuanyuan is Ye Huaizhi's wife and the eldest lady of the Ye family. They have been married for more than ten years.

Ye Huaizhi smiled and said, "Yuanyuan and I are in a business marriage. It's none of my business that she hasn't been able to have children for so many years."

"Now that Gu Xing is finally pregnant, I finally have a child, but Grandpa doesn't give my child a chance. Isn't that unfair?"

"It is precisely because of the marriage that I cannot explain to the Tang family." Old Master Ye's face darkened. "You have already moved out of the Ye family. Logically, I cannot control your private life, but you have to be more restrained."

"But now you've made me pregnant, and you're even calling me in to argue about the family rules. If the Tang family gets serious, the Ye family will be the one in trouble."

Ye Huaizhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's fair or not, but the Ye family cannot be without descendants."

After the words fell, the large and luxurious living room fell into silence.

It's not hard for Gu Mian to guess why.

The Ye family is wealthy and powerful, but Ye Junlin's generation has never had any offspring.

Mr. Ye is old and has been in a high position all his life. He has two wishes in his old age: one is to find his lost granddaughter, and the other is that the Ye family can have offspring to pass on from generation to generation.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not in a hurry.

At this moment, Ye Junlin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the air.

"Who told you that the Ye family has no descendants?"

Xu Yihan, who had been standing in the corner with no sense of existence, was stunned and looked at Ye Junlin in disbelief.

He knew she was pregnant!
