Chapter 258 You Really Don’t Remember Me?
Gu Mian frowned, "What did you say?"
"Are you deaf? Or do you not understand what people are saying?" Gu Xing crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her with disdain. "Aren't you busy being on the hot search in the capital? How do you have time to meddle in my business......"
Gu Mian said coldly, "Didn't you call your parents and cry and ask them to come and save you?"
"I was just joking." Gu Xing said with a smile, "I was just joking with my dear."
"Gu Xing, this is a serious matter, not a joke." Gu Mian said seriously, "You are obviously imprisoned, and your cell phone has been taken away. Your uncle is worried about you, so I came to take you back."
"I told you, I was just joking with my dear, don't you understand?" Gu Xing said impatiently, "As for the phone, I gave it to my dear because I wanted to quit my phone addiction."
Gu Mian sneered, "Gu Xing, if you don't want to leave the glory and wealth here, you can just say it."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Gu Mian stood up and looked at her coldly, "The dear you are talking about is Ye Junlin's cousin. He is in charge of the branch of the Ye family and he really has endless money."
"He arranged a place for you to live, assigned you a nanny, and gave you a sum of money every month, allowing you to live a life of luxury. It's normal that you don't want to get away from this kind of life."
Gu Xing gritted his teeth and asked, "You're investigating me?"
"I'm here to save you, so of course I have to investigate thoroughly." A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Mian's eyes. "But Gu Xing, you have to know that your behavior is immoral."
"He is a married man. You are a mistress who is despised by everyone for interfering in his marriage."
"You are shameless, do you want your parents to be stabbed in the back because of you?"
Gu Xing's face turned pale, he raised his hands and clapped, "You are the only one in the world who is great, glorious and upright, you are the most amazing... You are so noble, how can you tolerate the child that Liu Yunxi gave birth to for Li Tingshen?"
"After all, aren't you holding back because you can't bear to give up the splendor and wealth that Li Tingshen has brought you?"
"Gu Mian, deep down, you are the same as me. Why do you stand on the moral high ground to accuse me? What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"
Gu Mian was so angry that he laughed. "It seems that I came here unnecessarily... For the sake of my uncle, I will give you one last chance. You should return to China now and I will arrange a job for you at Gu's Pharmaceutical. From now on, you should work honestly and be a good person. I will not hold you accountable for the past."
"Tsk..." Gu Xing sneered, his eyes full of disdain and disgust, "Don't talk to me in such a condescending tone. What is Gu's pharmaceutical manufacturing? Do you think I would care about it?"
"Gu Mian, things are different now. I, Gu Xing, don't need your charity from a high position."
"You want me to go back to the capital, right? Sure, divorce Li Tingshen and let him marry me, and I'll go back."
Gu Mian almost thought he was hallucinating, "Gu Xing, not only are you shameless, you've even lost your brain?"
"See, I told you you're hypocritical." Gu Xing had a look of seeing through everything. "You talk about yourself as so great, but at the critical moment, you still can't bear to give up your wife's wealth and glory?"
"Don't worry, I don't want the man you sleep with. My dear is no worse than Li Tingshen..."
"I understand. You are feeling superior as a mistress." Gu Mian took out his cell phone. "I'm going to call your parents now. Tell them that you are not going back."
"Is it your turn to interfere in our family affairs?" Gu Xing glared at her. "I warn you, don't call my parents and gossip about us, or I will never forgive you!"
"Okay, I've done what I promised my uncle. If you don't want to go back, I can't do anything about it." Gu Mian sat down again. "From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with me. I won't meddle in your affairs anymore."
"Do you think I want to see you?" Gu Xing retorted, "Get lost as soon as possible. The farther away the better. It's best if you never show up in front of me again!"
Gu Mian looked at Ye Junlin who was sitting and watching the show, "Mr. Ye, send her back to where she came from."
Ye Junlin said calmly, "But the content of our deal is that Gu Xing returns to the imperial capital safely."
"You have handed Gu Xing to me intact. It was she who refused to return home. There was nothing we could do about it." Gu Mian said, "So you have fulfilled the agreement, and I will keep my promise to cure your grandfather. I will never break my promise."
Ye Junlin nodded, "Okay."
He glanced at the bodyguard, who immediately took Gu Xing away.
Gu Mian looked at Gu Xing walking away happily in high heels and shook his head helplessly, "Mr. Ye, could you please give me the surveillance footage?"
"Of course you can." Ye Junlin guessed her purpose, "With this surveillance, you can also explain to your uncle."
Gu Mian crossed his arms and looked at him. "You guessed that Gu Xing would not come back, so you took the initiative to let her come to see me, right?"
"I'm not in the mood to explore the mind of someone like Gu Xing." Ye Junlin did not comment, "But if you think about it, it's not hard to guess that she will not give up this glory and wealth."
Gu Mian nodded. "She chose her own path. She will have to bear the consequences no matter what happens in the future. I just feel sorry for my uncle."
"He is an honest and good man. I never thought his only daughter would become like this..."
"Your niece is very filial, that's enough." Ye Junlin looked at her, "Miss Gu, whoever becomes your family member is a blessing."
Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Ye is quite good at comforting people."
"I really mean it."
......
Gu Mian quickly sent the video to Gu Zhiyuan.
After watching the video, Gu Zhiyuan covered his face and cried silently, "What a misfortune for my family... How am I going to explain this to my ancestors in the future..."
"Uncle, don't be too sad." Gu Mian comforted him, "At least now we can be sure that Gu Xing is safe and free, and has not suffered any harm."
"Gu Xing is already an adult and can decide which path he wants to take. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You should be more open-minded."
"What I mean is that the child has grown up and I can no longer make decisions for him. Even if I want to discipline him, it's too late..."
While I was on the phone, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Mian got up to open the door and saw Jiang Yi standing outside.
"Why you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Jiang Yi asked back.
"Uncle, I have something to do here. That's it for now." Gu Mian hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Yi outside the door. "Are you here to see me?"
"I came to the Ye family to play, and I just happened to hear that you were here, so I came to see you."
"Mr. Jiang, we don't seem to be that familiar with each other." Gu Mian frowned and said, "Besides, you are Liu Yunxi's biological brother. I am not ready to get familiar with you. Please do as you please."
"You're trying to chase me away again!" Jiang Yi hurriedly pressed the door to prevent her from closing it, "You really don't remember me?"
"Of course I remember. Didn't I just say that you are Liu Yunxi's biological brother?"
"That's not the identity I'm talking about." Jiang Yi complained with a wronged look on his face, "You kissed me before, how can you just forget it like that? You're so heartless!"
Gu Mian: "......"
"Mr. Jiang, you can't say that casually." Gu Mian said seriously, "If my husband hears it, he will misunderstand it."
"I am telling the truth. Five years ago, I fell into the water by the Seine."
Gu Mian frowned and thought carefully, "...was it you?"
"I told you I'm so handsome, you won't forget me!"
Gu Mian: "......"
Five years ago, she and Wen Jing did encounter a man who accidentally fell into the water by the Seine.
She didn't think too much at the time, she just jumped down to rescue the man and performed first aid, and her assistant gave him artificial respiration.
When the man woke up, she didn't bother to talk to him. She was in a hurry to go back to the hotel to change clothes and left directly.
I didn't expect that the man that day would be Liu Yunxi's biological brother.
How small this world is!
"You remembered me, didn't you?" Jiang Yi said in surprise, "Gu Mian, you are my savior, I want to marry you!"
Gu Mian: “......???”
"Mr. Jiang, you misunderstood." Gu Mian said hurriedly, "The person who saved you that day was not me, but my assistant!"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Yi said firmly, "It was you, I saw you kissing me!"
Gu Mian: "......"
"Mr. Jiang, you really misunderstood. It was indeed me who rescued you from the river, but it was my male assistant who gave you artificial respiration. Because of the difference between men and women, it was he who performed the artificial respiration."
"So you admit that you saved me?" Jiang Yi said happily, "Then I will marry you!"
Gu Mian held his forehead and said, "Mr. Jiang, I have forgotten about this matter a long time ago. I think you have forgotten it too."
"How can I forget your life-saving grace? Am I still a human being?" Jiang Yi said seriously, "I must repay you."
"Mr. Jiang is indeed a man who will repay a favor. He is worthy of admiration." Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, one million, and we're even."
Jiang Yi's mouth twitched, "How vulgar the money is."
"I'm just an ordinary person who likes money." Gu Mian said seriously.
"No." Jiang Yi said seriously, "I must give myself to you to repay your kindness to me... You like money, I can give you all my money!"
Gu Mian: "......"
"Mr. Jiang, I have a husband."
"I've investigated and found that you didn't marry for love, but to marry him for good fortune." Jiang Yi advised earnestly, "Gu Mian, girls should marry for love."
"......"
Gu Mian just felt his mouth was dry.
She walked out of the room, went to the bar to get a glass of water, turned around and looked at Jiang Yi who followed her, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for your kindness, but I love my husband very much, and he loves me too, we can't be separated."
"If you continue to insist, you are not trying to thank me, but to harm me."
Jiang Yi frowned, "Do you really love him?"
"Of course." Gu Mian said without hesitation, "I love him very much, only him."
Jiang Yi showed regret, "Forget it, I originally thought that you married him out of desperation, and I wanted to save you from the dire straits."
Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, "If I really am in dire straits, I will save myself."
"That's good." Jiang Yi spread his hands, "It looks like I'll be single for the rest of my life."
"How could that be?" Gu Mian joked, "You are the most handsome young man in Jiangcheng. The number of people who want to marry you should be able to circle the earth."
"The most powerful young master in Jiangcheng has an engagement with the Ye family. I was originally going to marry Junlin's sister, but I didn't expect her to die."
"I finally met you again, and I wanted to repay you for saving my life by marrying you, and by the way, I cancelled the engagement with the Ye family. I didn't expect you to be unwilling."
Gu Mian smiled and said, "You are so outstanding, you will meet a girl who is suitable for you."
"If it's not you, then it doesn't matter."
......
At night, Gu Mian accompanied Lin Jinshu to sleep before going downstairs.
Before he even returned to the room, he was dragged out by Li Tingshen.
"Ting Shen, where are you taking me?"
"Go for a ride."
Li Tingshen drove towards the city.
Although the Ye family manor was incredibly beautiful, Gu Mian hadn't been out for several days, and his mood suddenly became much better.
But she soon noticed that the man driving the car did not look very well.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mian asked curiously, "Are you worried? Or are you missing your daughter?"
"What's going on between you and Jiang Yi?"
"How do you know?"
"The surveillance installed by Ye Junlin is synchronized on my phone."
"......" Gu Mian tried hard to suppress his laughter, "So you're jealous... Since you can see the surveillance, isn't it clear to you? I saved him."
"He wants to marry you."
"Let him think about it. It's not against the law to think about it." Gu Mian laughed. "If you're jealous, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. Look, there are many women who want to marry you. I'm not jealous."
Li Ting slammed the brakes and pulled over.
The man turned his head and stared at her with deep eyes, "Mrs. Li, not being jealous is not a good thing..."
Gu Mian smiled and pinched his tense face, "If I get jealous of every woman, then I'll do nothing but get jealous all my life."
"So Mr. Li, as long as I only have you in my heart, it doesn't matter who wants to marry me, because I can only be yours."
Li Tingshen was very pleased with these words, and his gloomy expression immediately eased a lot.
The man raised his eyebrows. "Then prove it to me."
"Prove what?"
"You are mine alone."
"How do you prove it?"
Li Ting hooked his lips deeply and leaned over to kiss her lips...
