Chapter 257 Don’t mess around

Gu Mian said seriously, "I'm not used to being in other people's homes..."

Li Tingshen was already feeling uncomfortable and immediately became dissatisfied, "Then let's not stay here anymore, let's go back to the hotel."

"Stop messing around..." Gu Mian laughed, "I'm serious, it's really not possible. There are bodyguards outside."

"They're going to rest at this time." Li Ting kissed the corner of her lips deeply, "If anything happens, I can protect you."

"You can't just do that!" Gu Mian complained, "I was tortured for so long last night, I'm still in pain today."

"That's because I haven't done it for a long time. I just need to do it more often."

Gu Mian: "......"

She couldn't understand why Mr. Li, who seemed aloof and restrained, would talk nonsense behind closed doors.

"I really can't." Gu Mian dodged his kiss, "This is someone else's home, I feel uncomfortable."

Li Tingshen could only give up, "Okay, then sleep on the bed."

Gu Mian kissed his handsome face and said, "Be good."

Li Ting's eyes darkened, "Mrs. Li, if you seduce me again, you really won't be able to sleep anymore."

Gu Mian quickly lay down and wrapped himself tightly with a quilt.

Li Ting chuckled, leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows, "You go to sleep first, I'll go finish the work on hand."

"Okay, don't be too late."

"Um."

......

The next morning.

Gu Mian was still asleep when he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

She sat up and asked, "Who?"

"Miss Gu, it's me." Ye Junlin's anxious voice came, "My mother just woke up and is very unstable. I can't comfort her. Can you go and see her?"

"I'll be right there!"

Gu Mian immediately got up, dressed, opened the door and went upstairs.

In the room on the third floor, Lin Jinshu curled up on the bed, trembling as if he had been frightened, and kept talking to himself.

"Baby...my baby is gone...I lost my baby..."

"Madam." The maid beside her reached out to comfort her, but as soon as she touched her shoulder, Lin Jinshu screamed as if she was stimulated.

"Ah - don't touch me! Give me my child back! Ah -"

"Miss Gu, my mother has been like this since she woke up. She won't even let me touch her." Ye Junlin said anxiously, "If she won't even let you touch her, I can only find a doctor to give her a sedative."

Gu Mian walked forward, sat down beside the bed, and gently held Lin Jinshu's hand.

Lin Jinshu shrank back and subconsciously pulled his hand away.

She raised her head and was startled when she saw Gu Mian's face.

Immediately, a light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she hugged Gu Mian tightly, "Baby, where have you been? Mommy has been looking for you for a long time! Baby, don't be afraid! Mommy will protect you!"

Gu Mian could feel her trembling.

That is the fear that comes from deep in my bones.

Gu Mian's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and a dull pain spread out.

She didn't understand why she felt this way.

This woman is obviously Yin Luoxue's mother. Even if she doesn't hate her because of the woman she lives in, she shouldn't feel sorry for her.

Gu Mian raised his hands, hugged her gently, and patted her back, "Mrs. Ye, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Lin Jinshu's mood gradually stabilized.

Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No!" Lin Jinshu immediately said nervously, "Mom is asleep, the baby will be stolen..."

"Okay, let's not sleep anymore and go downstairs to have breakfast, okay?"

"Baby is hungry, do you want to eat?"

"Yes, we are all hungry." Gu Mian helped her up, "Let's go."

......

When Gu Mian went back to his room to wash up, Lin Jinshu followed him closely.

Li Tingshen had already gotten up, and several people went to the restaurant to have dinner together.

Gu Mian put a bun in Lin Jinshu's bowl and said, "Eat this bun yourself, and let's go sunbathe together, okay?"

Lin Jinshu picked up the bun and ate it in small bites.

Gu Mian poured her a glass of milk and said, "Eat slowly."

Lin Jinshu quickly finished the buns and boasted, "I've finished it!"

"Okay." Gu Mian smiled, "Do you want to eat something else?"

Lin Jinshu shook his head.

Although it was daytime, after what happened last night, Gu Mian didn't dare to take her out easily, and only went to the sun room upstairs.

The flowers were in full bloom, and Gu Mian had nothing to do, so she started pruning the branches, with Lin Jinshu accompanying her.

At the door of the greenhouse, Ye Junlin looked at this warm and harmonious scene with mixed feelings.

A series of bells rang out.

Gu Mian took out his cell phone, saw the incoming call, but did not answer it.

After a while, the phone rang again.

Gu Mian hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call. "Hello?"

"Gu Mian, what do you mean?" Wang Shulan questioned, "You blocked my number. I called you on my landline but you didn't answer. But when I called you on your uncle's phone you answered. Do you have any problem with me?"

“Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it.” Gu Mian said calmly.

"What else could I want from you? You said you went abroad to look for Xingxing, but there's been no news since then. What did you do?"

"Aunt, I've only been here for two days." Gu Mian said, "And I've already sent you a wake-up video. She's not in danger, you can rest assured."

"Don't worry?" Wang Shulan was furious. "From the video you sent, it's obvious that Xingxing is locked up. You want me to be at ease?"

"Li Tingshen is all-powerful and can do anything. Can't he rescue her right away?"

"I'm telling you, if anything goes wrong with Xingxing, I will never forgive you!"

Gu Mian's slender fingertips gently stroked a blooming rose in front of her, and she spoke slowly, "Since my aunt thinks I didn't do my best, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

"Gu Xing was not married abroad at all. Instead, she was kept by a married man and became his lover."

"What!" Gu Zhiyuan's trembling voice came, "Mianmian, are you telling the truth?"

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I wanted to keep it a secret, but my aunt is unreasonable. I had no choice but to tell her the truth." Gu Mian continued, "Gu Xing was imprisoned by the man who supported her, and now I have to cure the illness of the man's family before I can get Gu Xing back."

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Shulan raised her voice and said, "My Xingxing would never lie to me, let alone be a man's lover! You must be unable to save her, so you made up this story to deceive me!"

"Whether I am a liar or not, you can ask her yourself when she wakes up and returns home, but what the MS Group has found is definitely close to the truth."

"She has brought shame to the Gu family..." Gu Zhiyuan almost choked out his breath, "Evil curse...Evil curse..."

"Uncle, now that things have come to this, calm down first." Gu Mian comforted him, "Being alive is better than anything else... I will tell you guys as soon as Gu Xing has any news, but I hope my aunt won't call me again to bother me."

"Mianmian, I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "You must take care of your health when you are abroad, and you must protect yourself."

"Don't worry, uncle. Ting Shen is by my side. Nothing will happen to him."

"That's good." Gu Zhiyuan hung up the phone, crying sadly.

"Why are you crying!" Wang Shulan said firmly, "You are listening to the nonsense that damned girl Gu Mian said. I know my daughter well, she would never lie to me!"

"How dare you say that!" Gu Zhiyuan said angrily, "If you hadn't spoiled her, would she have become what she is today?"

"You taught her to be vain and not study hard. She only wanted to take shortcuts. Now she's become someone else's mistress and interferes with someone else's marriage!"

"Not to mention that she was a thief before, stealing things without any clean hands! There has never been such a shameless person in my Gu family!"

"What are you yelling about!" Wang Shulan shouted back, "If the child is good, it's your credit. If he's not, it's my fault, right?"

"I only have this one daughter, so what's wrong with spoiling her? Daughters should be raised in luxury!"

"Raising a girl in wealth doesn't mean letting her have no bottom line!" Gu Zhiyuan said angrily, "My parents also raised Mian Mian in wealth and wanted to give her the best, but Mian Mian has a very positive outlook and inherited my parents' legacy."

"Look at Gu Xing again, is there anything bright about her? Not only that, she is completely stained!"

"Why do you compare my Xingxing with that damn girl Gumian!" Wang Shulan became angrier and angrier. "It would be fine if you didn't say anything, but I get angry when you say it. Why did your parents only teach Gumian medicine and not Xingxing?"

"If they could pass on their medical skills to Xingxing like they did to Gu Mian, Xingxing would definitely be more powerful than Gu Mian now! Xingxing is the one who inherited the Chinese Medicine Hall now! Maybe Xingxing is also the one who married Li Tingshen!"

"You..." Gu Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned blue. "You are so stubborn! Is it because my parents don't want to teach you? Not to mention that Gu Xing has no talent in this area, learning medicine is hard work. Do you think you can become a talent by memorizing a few medicinal herbs with your eyes closed? Dream on!"

"Mianmian is where she is today, not only because of her talent, but also because she can endure hardships!"

"Gu Mian is good at everything, but my daughter is not good at anything. Then you can find Gu Mian's mother to give birth to a daughter for you!" Wang Shulan laughed in anger, "She is so outstanding, why don't her parents want her?"

"If you ask me, her parents are smart. They knew she was a loser, so they threw her away!"

"You!" Gu Zhiyuan raised his hand.

"You want to hit me?" Wang Shulan was shocked. "You want to hit me just to take care of that damn girl?"

"You think this cheap niece is so nice, right? Your daughter was ruined by her!"

"If Gu Mian wasn't so cold-blooded and ruthless, and refused to help Xingxing to marry into a wealthy family, would Xingxing be able to go abroad? If she didn't go abroad, would she be able to be a mistress?"

"Even if you beat me to death, it won't change the fact that Gu Mian killed my daughter!"

"You are hopeless!" Gu Zhiyuan put down his hand, "I don't have the habit of hitting women, so I won't hit you."

He took out his cell phone and said, "I want to call Mianmian and tell her that she is not Gu's biological child and she doesn't need to do anything risky for Gu Xing."

"Gu Xing, if you can save her, then save her. If you can't save her, don't let her get hurt. If something happens to Mian Mian, how can I face my parents......"

"How dare you!" Wang Shulan hurriedly snatched his phone away, "Tell Gu Mian now that she will never care about our daughter. Do you really want to watch our daughter never come back? Gu Zhiyuan, how can you be so cruel!"

"Mianmian is also a child I loved and raised. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have told her a long time ago!"

Wang Shulan was almost mad at him, "You idiot, she married so well and is so rich, if you tell her the truth, will she still remember the kindness of the Gu family in raising her!"

"The money that Mianmian and Tingshen have given us over the years is more than enough to repay their kindness in raising us!"

"I told you that you have no future. This little money is not even a drop in the bucket for Li Tingshen, and you are already satisfied?" Wang Shulan warned, "I told you before, if you dare to tell Gu Mian the truth, I will divorce you!"

"Not only will I divorce you, but I will also go back to your hometown and cause a scene so that your parents will never rest in peace!"

"You..." Gu Zhiyuan was so angry that he was shaking, "You are a bitch... You are simply a bitch!"

"It's better to be a poor wife than to suffer with you!" Wang Shulan said faintly, "It would be best if Xingxing can come back safely. If anything happens to her, I will fight with you and the Gu family!"

"Okay, I'll do your thing." Gu Zhiyuan was furious. "When Gu wakes up, I will tell Mianmian about her life story first, and then divorce you!"

"I have tolerated you for so many years, and I have tolerated enough! Even if Mianmian doesn't recognize me as her uncle, I don't want to continue deceiving her!

......

Gu Mian was unaware of the farce going on in the imperial capital. He put away his phone and continued pruning the branches.

"Ms. Gu." Ye Junlin's voice came from behind, "I can let Gu Xing go."

"I know." Gu Mian knew he was behind her the whole time, and she didn't look back. "When I cure your grandfather, you will naturally let Gu Xing go."

"I mean, I could let her go right now."

Gu Mian paused his movements and slowly turned his head to look at the tall and straight man.

"What did you say?"

Ye Junlin smiled and said, "I don't want you to be unable to explain to your family."

Gu Mian looked at him suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid that if you let Gu Xing go, I'll just walk away?"

"I believe in your medical ethics." Ye Junlin looked at her seriously. "From the way you treated my mother, I can tell that you are a good person, a good person from beginning to end, and a person who keeps his word, so I am willing to let Gu Xing go now."

Although they didn't have much contact, it was not difficult for him to see that Gu Mian was a very soft-hearted person.

This kind of person, if you are nice to her, she will want to repay you with ten times the kindness you show her.

If you take one step back, she will take a hundred steps back.

Gu Mian did not hesitate, "If Mr. Ye is willing, that would be the best, and it would also save my uncle from worrying."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Gu Xing returns home safely, and I will stay here to treat Master Ye."

"Okay, I'll have someone bring Gu Xing here right away so you and your sisters can be reunited."

......

Two hours later, Gu Mian indeed met Gu Xing.

When Gu Xing was taken into the house by two black-clad bodyguards, he was still struggling, "Don't touch me! Believe it or not, I will be rude to you!"

The moment he saw Gu Mian, Gu Xing was obviously stunned, "Why are you here?"

"This is the Ye family." Ye Junlin raised his hand, and the two bodyguards immediately let go of their guard.

"Ye family?" Gu Xing's eyes lit up and he looked around.

Looking at the luxurious house in front of him, Gu Xing's eyes flashed with surprise.

Ye Junlin looked at Gu Mian and said, "Ms. Gu, I have brought her here in good condition. Your sister is free now and can return home at any time. If necessary, I can buy a plane ticket for her."

Gu Mian was much more polite to Ye Junlin, "Then I would like to thank you very much, Mr. Ye."

Gu Mian looked at Gu Xing and said, "Uncle is very worried about you. I will arrange a flight for you to return home."

Gu Xing calmed down and said with a curled lip, "Who told you that I was going back..."
