Chapter 254 Am I Not Already in Your Arms?

The atmosphere suddenly became stalemate!

When their eyes met, the coldness in Gu Mian's eyes was hard to suppress!

"Ye Junlin, are you threatening me?"

Ye Junlin was slightly stunned.

He didn't know why, but when he saw Gu Mian getting angry, he felt annoyed for no reason.

Ye Junlin calmed down, his handsome face showing no unnecessary emotions. "Don't be angry, Miss Gu. I just want to remind you that for the sake of your family, you'd better cooperate well."

Gu Mian crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him coldly, "Then tell me, which relative of mine are you going to attack?"

"Your cousin Gu Xing is in the hands of the Ye family, don't you know?"

"Cousin..." Gu Mian sneered, "Mr. Ye has great connections, couldn't he find out that Gu Xing and I don't have a good relationship?"

She and Gu Xing had broken up a long time ago, so it was naturally impossible for them to contact each other, and she even deleted all the contact information.

"After all, we are blood relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected." Ye Junlin stood up and said, "Miss Gu, you might as well think about it carefully before making a decision. I'll take my leave and wait for your news."

Gu Mian was not prepared to pay attention.

Whether Gu Xing is dead or alive has nothing to do with her.

But she didn't expect that Gu Zhiyuan and Wang Shulan would come to the hospital to see her in the afternoon.

In the three years since she left the capital, she had not seen the couple, but she would deposit money into Gu Zhiyuan's account on time every month to show her filial piety.

Gu Zhiyuan and Wang Shulan looked anxious as soon as they came in.

"Uncle and aunt," Gu Mian guessed a little, but didn't say it out loud, "Did something happen?"

"Gu Mian, you must help your sister!"

"Aunt, what's wrong with waking her up?"

Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "Three years ago, Xingxing suddenly went abroad, and within a few months she told me that she was going to marry into a wealthy family."

"She has come back every Spring Festival for the past three years. She is dressed in luxury goods and it is obvious that she is living a good life. However, she has never allowed me and your aunt to visit her."

"Last night she suddenly called back and said she was in trouble and asked us to rescue her. She hung up right after she finished speaking. When we called again, her phone was turned off."

"Your aunt and I have been worried all night. We are on the other side of the ocean and we don't even know how to call the police. We have no choice but to come to you!"

Gu Mian asked, "Do you know which country and city she is in?"

"In London, they say."

Gu Mian frowned slightly.

The Ye family also settled in London. Could it be that Gu Xing is really in the hands of the Ye family?

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I'll let the program check it out."

"What are you still investigating? Xingxing's life or death is unknown. Why don't you fly over to look for her? Why are you letting people take their time to investigate?" Wang Shulan was extremely anxious. "Don't you know that if you delay for one more minute, Xingxing will be in more danger! If something happens to Xingxing, will you be responsible?"

"I really can't take responsibility." Gu Mian said indifferently, "After all, I didn't send the person abroad. Everyone has their own destiny. I can't control so much. Please go back, aunt."

Originally, she wanted the program to help confirm what Ye Junlin said, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

"You..." Wang Shulan said angrily, "Gu Mian, we are your family, Xingxing is your cousin, how can you be so hard-hearted!"

"My aunt has a bad memory. Gu Xing and I have severed our relationship a long time ago."

"Even so, do you really want to watch her die?"

"I told you, everyone has his own destiny."

Wang Shulan was so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't dare to get angry at Gu Mian. She just turned around and hit Gu Zhiyuan hard!

“Bang!”

A slap landed on Gu Zhiyuan's face, and the three of them were stunned.

Gu Mian's face darkened. "Let's talk it over nicely. Why did you hit my uncle?"

Wang Shulan was also panicked.

She usually takes care of Zhiyuan at home, but this time it was in front of Gu Mian, so it would be better for her to be more restrained.

This damn girl is not a good person, and she has Li Tingshen's support, so she is not easy to mess with.

But Wang Shulan has always been strong-willed. She didn't want to show weakness at this moment, so she stiffened her neck and said, "He is incompetent! He can't even protect his daughter. He only cares about protecting you, an ungrateful bastard. He deserves to be beaten!"

"It's hopeless." Gu Mian said coldly, "Someone come."

The bodyguard quickly opened the door and came in, "Madam."

"Send her out."

"yes."

"Gu Mian, you dare to chase me away!" Wang Shulan said angrily, "I am your elder after all!"

"The Gu family worked so hard to raise you, is this how you repay us?"

"My grandparents raised me, and I am also a member of the Gu family. It is reasonable for me to be raised by the Gu family." Gu Mian said coldly, "It is Gu Xing's obligation to repay you, not mine."

"Gu Zhiyuan!" Wang Shulan couldn't say anything good about Gu Mian, so she could only vent her anger on Gu Zhiyuan, "Look, this is your good niece! The Gu family really raised her for nothing!"

"Stop talking!" Gu Zhiyuan said, "Just because I don't bother with you doesn't mean that Mianmian has to obey you in everything!"

"She has already asked someone to investigate, what else do you want?"

"Li Tingshen is so rich, of course he will arrange a private jet and personnel to send us abroad to find our daughter!" Wang Shulan said righteously, "I only have this one daughter. If she delays the search for her because of sleepiness and anything happens to Xingxing, I will never forgive her!"

Gu Zhiyuan was still worried about his daughter. He looked at Gu Mian with embarrassment, "Mianmian, your aunt's words were rude. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"I know Gu Xing makes you very disappointed and you don't want to get involved in her affairs, but can you please help find her for your uncle's sake."

Gu Zhiyuan burst into tears, "My uncle has only one daughter in his life. Even if she is not very good, I don't want to see anything happen to her..."

"Uncle, I understand." Gu Mian couldn't bear it, "You guys go back first, I'll let you know when there's news."

Gu Zhiyuan warned, "Mianmian, you must hurry up, Xingxing has been out of contact for almost a day and a night!"

"I see."

Wang Shulan wanted to say something but was dragged away by Gu Zhiyuan.

Gu Mian took out his cell phone and called Xu Cheng.

In less than two hours, Wang Shulan called to inquire about the progress.

"Gu Xing is abroad, so it will definitely take some time to investigate." Gu Mian explained.

"Li Tingshen has all the connections, how could he not find out? I think you just don't put your heart into it!"

Gu Mian hung up the phone directly and blocked her number.

There's no point in wasting time discussing anything with this kind of person.

The procedure did take quite a bit of work, and I didn't report to Gu Mian until the evening.

"Madam, I checked and found that Gu Xing was not married abroad, but..."

Gu Mian saw that he was hesitant to speak, and said, "Just tell me, what happened to Gu Xing?"

"She has been acting as a mistress to a married man."

Gu Mian's face darkened. "Gu Xing loves vanity and has no bottom line for money. This is something she can really do... Is that man a foreigner?"

"He is Chinese, and he is from the Ye family. He is Ye Junlin's cousin."

Gu Mian suddenly realized, "No wonder Ye Junlin said that Gu Xing was in his hands. Gu Xing must have been controlled by her good lover."

"It's very likely." The programmer said, "I have asked the people in the London branch to continue to investigate."

"That's the Ye family's territory. It's not easy for you to find out all this. Let our people pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, ma'am." Chengxu nodded, "It's just that Ye Junlin is threatening you, and Mr. Li will not let the Ye family go."

"Although I don't like Gu Xing, I have to consider my uncle's feelings." Gu Mian sighed, "Tell Ting Shen not to act rashly. At least ensure Gu Xing's safety first."

"I see."

......

The equipment in the hospital was limited, so Gu Mian took some time to go back to Yunyue Bay and make some snacks for Nian Nian.

Cookies have a long shelf life and Xiaobao likes them, so she made some more.

I also made low-sugar Swiss rolls to make the little girl happy.

The doorbell suddenly rang, Gu Mian went to open the door and saw Jiang Yi standing outside.

Gu Mian's face suddenly turned cold, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yi's lazy and handsome face was full of smiles. "I heard that you live here, so I came to visit you."

"We're not that close yet."

"Once is strange, twice is familiar. This is our second meeting, so we should be familiar with each other now."

"You are Liu Yunxi's brother. I really don't want to get to know you."

"Don't worry, I'm actually helpless too." Jiang Yi spread his hands innocently, "I don't want a cheap sister to fall from the sky, and she's still like this, but there's nothing I can do. My family thinks blood is thicker than water, so I have to accept her."

"I don't want to know about your family affairs." Gu Mian was about to close the door when he was stopped by the man outside.

Gu Mian frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Yi said sincerely, "I want to pursue you."

"......" Gu Mian almost thought he was hallucinating, "Am I dreaming, or are you dreaming?"

Jiang Yi leaned lazily against the door, "I'm single, I don't have any bad habits, I'm good-looking and I'm rich... By the way, I'm still a virgin."

Gu Mian: “......???”

The world is finally crazy.

Gu Mian smiled wryly, "You want to pursue me, does your sister know?"

"Does she have any right to control me?" Jiang Yi said disdainfully, "She is afraid of death and has been sent abroad by my mother."

"She actually started to cherish her life?" Gu Mian sneered, "I thought she was going to commit suicide and never come back."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Since you hate her so much, why don't you follow me and I will help you kill her."

"Isn't she your sister?"

"I'm not familiar with her, and I have the most positive values. When I first started eating your gossip, I hated her!"

Gu Mian's mouth twitched, "You have a positive outlook, would you want to pursue a married woman?"

"I don't mind that you are a married woman, and I don't mind that you have children."

"I do mind." Gu Mian was in no mood to argue with him. "It's better not to say these things in the future. If my husband knows, it will easily lead to the river breaking in the cold weather."

Jiang Yi: “…”

"If the Jiang family goes bankrupt, will I be able to get you?"

Gu Mian: "......"

"Divine gold!"

Gu Mian closed the door directly.

Jiang Yi touched his nose which was almost hit, and said to himself, "Why are you so fierce?"

"And your memory is not good. You forgot me so quickly."

"But it doesn't matter, I'll make you remember..."

......

When Gu Mian brought the cake back to the hospital, he learned from the programmer that Liu Yunxi had gone abroad overnight.

Gu Mian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that what he said was true..."

Li Ting asked, "Who?"

"No one." Gu Mian paused and said, "Liu Yunxi has a bad reputation in the country and he really can't stay here any longer."

"She knows I won't let her go." Li Tingshen sneered, "She has worked with me for so many years, so she knows a little bit about my style of doing things."

"She thought that if she fled the country and was protected by the Ye family, I would be powerless against her. This is ridiculous..."

Just as Gu Mian was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.

It was Ye Junlin calling.

Gu Mian opened the phone and answered it. "Go ahead."

"Miss Gu, my grandfather didn't give me acupuncture last night, is he okay?"

"I can't die."

"That's good." Ye Junlin chuckled, "But it's not certain that he will wake up..."

"Tell me, what can we do to let Gu Xing go?"

"My grandfather doesn't like the capital very much and wants to go back to London. I would like to invite Miss Gu to go with him. Once you cure my grandfather and I find out who really poisoned him, I will naturally let you sisters return home."

Gu Mian sneered, "Mr. Ye's plan is good, but it's a pity that I don't care about that cheap cousin."

"You will take care of it." Ye Junlin said confidently, "No matter how much you dislike her, you can't resist your uncle's pleading. After all, he is one of the few relatives you have in this world."

"And if your uncle knew that Gu Xing was imprisoned because of you, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it, right?"

Gu Mian's eyes were cold, "Aren't you afraid that your grandfather didn't die from the poison, but died in my hands?"

"Of course I know Miss Gu has this ability." Ye Junlin said calmly, "So we restrain each other. My grandfather's life is in your hands, and your sister is in my hands."

Gu Mian hung up the phone directly.

Li Tingshen opened his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter if you wake up and don't save him, but you can't go with Ye Junlin."

Gu Mian pondered for a moment and said, "Ye Junlin was right. If I don't save Gu Xing, I won't be able to explain to my uncle."

"I can understand your feelings towards your uncle. Ye Junlin is using your filial piety to control you." Li Ting held her arm tightly. "But Gu Mian, the Ye family will be in danger. Don't forget that they blamed you for Yin Luoxue's death."

"I will find a way to protect myself. My safety is not a problem." Gu Mian said, "But I am worried about Nian Nian and Ting Shen..."

Before Gu Mian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Tingshen, "I will definitely go with you. I can't stay in the capital to protect Nian Nian."

Gu Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I haven't even opened my mouth yet."

"We are husband and wife, I can more or less guess what you are thinking."

"Nian Nian has never left me. Logically, I should take her with me, but she is injured now and is not fit to travel." Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "It looks like we can only leave her to Jianchuan and Jingye to take care of her."

"Also, please arrange more people to protect her."

"Okay." Li Tingshen said, "I will arrange for a personal bodyguard to protect her and not let a fly get close to her."

......

Nian Nian always resisted Li Ting Shen, and he could only wait until the child fell asleep every night before going to her bedside to accompany her.

When Pei Jianchuan walked into the ward, Li Tingshen was holding Nian Nian's hand and gazing at her sleeping face tenderly.

"Boss Li." Pei Jianchuan lowered his voice and said, "Want to go out and smoke a cigarette?"

Only then did Li Tingshen let go of Nian Nian's hand and covered her with the quilt.

The two of them came to the smoking area outside, Pei Jianchuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Tingshen.

Li Tingshen took it and asked, "Are you physically fit enough to smoke?"

Pei Jianchuan lit a cigarette, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Gu Mian criticizes me every other day. I can't help it."

"I couldn't quit when I was in good health before, let alone now, and there's no need to quit."

"Boss Pei shouldn't be such a pessimistic person." Li Tingshen exhaled a smoke ring, "Gu Mian is a doctor. She must have her reasons for asking you to quit smoking. You should listen to her."

"It's just the difference of living a few more days or a few less days. It doesn't matter to me." Pei Jianchuan took a puff of the cigarette, "But you, Boss Li, should quit smoking. Nian Nian is at home, you can't smell of cigarettes."

"That's right." Li Ting looked at him deeply, "Thank you for being so nice to Nian Nian."

"Nian Nian is smart and cute, everyone will like her." Pei Jianchuan said with a smile, "When she calls daddy in her baby voice, no one can resist."

Li Tingshen was slightly stunned.

Pei Jianchuan guessed what he was thinking and said, "I originally wanted to explain the relationship between you two to Nian Nian, but Gu Mian said that Nian Nian is injured and emotionally sensitive, so we should wait a while before talking."

"Gu Mian is right." Li Ting took a deep puff of his cigarette, "No rush."

"Yes, blood is thicker than water, and you love Nian Nian so much, Nian Nian will not deny you." Pei Jianchuan asked, "When are you planning to go to London?"

"Nian Nian is now ready to be discharged from the hospital. It will be in the next two days. I'll need you to take care of her when the time comes."

"I enjoy it."

......

After Nian Nian was discharged from the hospital, she was sent to the Pei family.

Li Tingshen arranged for a doctor to take care of the Pei family and provided the most stringent security to ensure Nian Nian's safety.

As soon as he got on the plane, Gu Mian started thinking about his children.

"It's okay." Li Ting held her hand tightly. "We'll go early and come back early. We'll never be separated from our daughter again."

"Um."

After the plane landed in London, we checked directly into the MS Group hotel.

Ye Junlin called and said, "Ms. Gu, I'll treat you to a meal and welcome you back."

"No need." Gu Mian said calmly, "I think I have to see Gu Xing first to make sure she is still alive, otherwise our deal can't start, right?"

"It's true that you can't see her, but I can send you a video of her latest incident to make sure she's safe."

Gu Mian soon received the video sent by Ye Junlin.

In the video, Gu Xing was trapped in a luxurious room. She was probably just imprisoned because she was banging on the door and cursing.

Gu Mian sent the video to the program to confirm its authenticity.

She went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came out, the hotel had already delivered the meal.

Li Tingshen even opened a bottle of wine, "We haven't had a good meal together for a long time."

"Yeah." Gu Mian hugged him from behind, "It's been a long time."

"So, my wife, you must know how to enjoy life while you can."

Gumian was indeed hungry, so he sat down and started eating.

The food at the seven-star hotel tasted delicious, and Gu Mian even finished the dessert after the meal.

After dinner, I went to the sofa to video chat with Wen Jing.

Nian Nian was still asleep, and Wen Jing stayed by her side.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jing. If you miss me, please call me anytime. My phone is on 24 hours a day."

"No problem." Wen Jing boasted, "Last night, Madam Li and Li Xingze came, and I beat up Li Xingze again, hahahaha!"

Gu Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why do you like beating him so much?"

"He bullied you so much before, of course I have to avenge you!"

"Well done." Gu Mian laughed, "He really deserves a beating."

"Everything is fine in the capital, don't worry, just be careful. I heard from President Pei that the Ye family is not simple."

"I know, you don't have to worry about me."

As soon as Gu Mian hung up the phone, Li Ting beside her pulled her into his arms.

"Wife, should I have all the time tonight, huh?"

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "Am I not already in your arms?"

Li Ting lowered his head and kissed her lips directly.

Gu Mian knew that Li Tingshen had been restraining himself ever since they had done it once in Yunyue Bay.

They have basically been staying in the hospital these days, so even if they wanted to be intimate, there was no chance.

Finally being alone in a foreign country tonight, he naturally didn't want to restrain himself any longer.

Gu Mian slowly closed her eyes and responded to his kiss...
