Chapter 299 The truth about parent-child identification
Gu Mian: "......"
As soon as he entered the master suite, Li Tingshen couldn't wait to get down to business.
From the living room to the room and then to the bathroom, Gu Mian was obviously very sleepy, but he forced her to wake up.
When everything calmed down, I felt tired, sleepy... and hungry.
She pushed herself up and put on her clothes.
"What's wrong?" Li Tingshen was smoking a cigarette, the smoke shrouding his handsome face. "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring some food."
"It's too late, let's go back to the Ye family." Gu Mian said, "Mrs. Ye will look for me as soon as she wakes up in the morning."
Li Ting smiled deeply, "My wife may sound tough on the outside but she's soft on the inside, but I still care about her."
"Let's put it this way." Gu Mian did not admit it. "I just don't want her to lose control of her emotions again because she can't see me."
"Then go back."
......
When the two returned to the Ye family, it was already past three in the morning.
The lights in the living room were on, and Ye Junlin was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Seeing two people coming in, Ye Junlin immediately stood up and asked, "Are you back?"
The sleepy footsteps paused.
Li Ting opened his mouth and said, "I went out for a walk... Why are you still awake?"
"I was thinking about waiting for Mianmian to come back." Ye Junlin took the last puff of his cigarette, "It's getting late, let's go back to the room and rest."
Gu Mian didn't say anything and went straight back to his room.
I was obviously very sleepy, but after lying down on the bed, I just couldn't fall asleep.
Li Tingshen hugged her from behind, "Ye Junlin, I waited until now because I was worried about your safety."
Gu Mian closed his eyes, "I don't need it."
"Ye Junlin actually cares about you a lot. The Ye family and the Jiang family are old friends, but he still returned Liu Yunxi to the Jiang family and stopped protecting them."
Li Ting kissed her cheek deeply. "He also told me that no matter how I deal with Liu Yunxi, he supports me."
Gu Mian just felt that his heart was in turmoil, "I don't want to hear this..."
"I'm not speaking for Ye Junlin, but I think it's necessary for you to know these things."
Gu Mian turned a deaf ear to him and said, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
"good."
......
Although Gu Xing moved into the Ye family, he was arranged to live in the most remote villa.
Moreover, Master Ye did not allow her to wander around the Ye family, so as to prevent Gu Mian from seeing her and getting upset.
I can't get enough sleep.
In the evening, Gu Mian went to give acupuncture to Master Ye as usual.
She took his pulse first, but felt something was wrong.
"Master, what does this mean?"
"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Ye. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Gu Mian withdrew his hand from feeling the patient's pulse. "My medical skills won't get worse. You know what you did."
Master Ye smiled awkwardly, "Ah Zhong, look at how good Mian Mian's medical skills are. She noticed something was wrong so quickly."
Uncle Zhong, who was standing nearby, nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Mianmian is an excellent doctor."
Gu Mian was speechless and said expressionlessly, "If you don't take the medicine properly, you will only hurt your own body."
"Don't be angry, Miss. I have no choice." Uncle Zhong explained hurriedly, "I am worried that you will return to the capital after you have cured him. I don't want you to leave..."
Gu Mian was startled and said seriously, "You can't joke with your own body."
"Mianmian is right. Grandpa won't do anything rash. I will definitely listen to you and take the medicine obediently." Old Master Ye said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you want to go back to the imperial capital. Grandpa also wants to settle down there anyway."
"We'll go back together then. Grandpa will live in Yunyue Bay, so I can see you often."
Gu Mian did not continue the topic, "Take the medicine on time, then we can talk about the future."
"Yes, Grandpa will listen to you."
......
After coming out from Mr. Ye's place, Gu Mian received a call from Gu Zhiyuan.
"Mianmian, how come the previous house was transferred to my name?"
"I heard from my subordinates that Wang Shulan was selling her house, so I sent someone to buy it." Gu Mian said, "This house was bought with the money my grandmother saved up for the down payment, and you must be used to living here."
"Since you don't want the house under my name, I will buy this one and return it to its original owner."
Gu Zhiyuan didn't know what to say, "Mianmian, thank you."
"As it should be, uncle, you don't need to be polite to me."
"Mianmian, I heard that your uncle... Wang Shulan went to London. Is it true?"
"It's true."
"She didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
"She doesn't have that ability, I hope uncle doesn't feel sorry for her."
"I have given her countless chances. If they hadn't been so stubborn this time, I wouldn't have divorced them." Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "When they were my wife and daughter, I would have taken good care of them, but now that we're divorced, I won't have anything to do with them anymore."
"That's good." Gu Mian said, "Gu Xing will be punished for his evil deeds. There will be no good end for him."
"But Wang Shulan called me to brag, saying that the Ye family had accepted Gu Xing and asked her to take good care of the baby in the Ye family, and also allowed Wang Shulan to stay and take care of her personally."
Gu Mian smiled and said, "Anyone who can marry into the Ye family cannot be a simple family. How can Ye Huaizhi's wife swallow this?"
"And Mr. Ye originally refused to be awakened. I don't know what Ye Huaizhi said to him privately before he agreed. Besides, there was no movement from the Tang family. If something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. So this matter is definitely not that simple."
Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "Mianmian, my uncle is just an ordinary person. I don't understand the affairs of the rich and powerful, and I don't want to understand."
"All I have to do now is run the hot pot restaurant well and not cause you any trouble."
"As for Gu Xing, our relationship as father and daughter has ended. She chose her own path, and no matter what the outcome is, she should bear the consequences herself."
......
When Gu Mian returned to Dongyuan, Ye Junlin was sitting in the living room.
"Mianmian, have you given Grandpa an injection?"
"Yeah." Gu Mian stopped walking, "Did you know that he stopped taking the medication?"
"Did he stop taking the medicine?" Ye Junlin frowned, "I don't know."
Gu Mian nodded. "It seems like it was his own idea."
Ye Junlin could easily guess what was going on. "Grandpa is trying to keep you here, right? This old man... is at his wits' end."
Gu Mian paused for a moment, "You should keep an eye on him... By the way, have you found out who gave him the chronic poison?"
"No clue yet." Ye Junlin raised his hand and pressed his temple. "I cleared out a group of servants. The ones left in the house are all old people who know everything about them. I have also secretly investigated them one by one, but I haven't found any clues."
Gu Mian nodded, "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. It will indeed take some time..."
Gu Mian suddenly realized something from the corner of his eye and said calmly, "But I can quickly clean up the remaining poison in the old man's body. Even if the other party poisons him again, it will be useless."
"Mianmian, I'm really lucky." Ye Junlin looked at her, "If it weren't for you, the consequences would be disastrous... More importantly, you're actually my biological sister."
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've thought more than once how nice it would be if you were my biological sister... I never thought that such fantasies would actually come true."
Gu Mian didn't say anything else. "Ting Shen just said he was hungry. I'm going to make him some midnight snack. Do you... want to eat something?"
Ye Junlin was flattered and said, "Okay!"
......
Gu Mian walked into the kitchen and saw Xu Yihan busying herself.
"Ms. Xu, are you still busy so late?"
"I'll stew a chicken and make chicken noodle soup for Junlin tomorrow morning."
“This is the most labor-intensive thing to do.”
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing. I don't have anything else to do but I have plenty of time." Xu Yihan looked at her with envy, "I wish I could be as capable as you."
"I heard that Miss Gu is not only an excellent doctor, but also runs a company very well."
Gu Mian took out some vegetables from the refrigerator and said, "You flatter me. I just always think that women must have their own jobs."
"Whether you can succeed in your career is another matter, but at least you have a job and don't depend on anyone."
"You're right. Actually, that's what I think too!" Xu Yihan agreed.
"Then why don't you go to work?" Gu Mian asked curiously, "I heard from Mother Chen that you have been working in the Ye family since you graduated from college and have never gone out to work."
"The Ye family has been kind to our family. Junlin is busy with work and has no time to take care of his wife, so I stayed in the Ye family and wanted to help him take care of his wife..."
"It's good to be grateful, but I think you are so young, you should go out of the Ye family and see the outside world, maybe you will find a different scenery." Gu Mian said, "Maybe when you become stronger, you can repay the Ye family better?"
"Ms. Gu, you are right." Xu Yihan lowered his head, "It's my fault..."
"Don't get me wrong, we were just chatting. Everyone has their own way of life. I completely respect and understand you. It's just that you just said you hope to be like me, so I expressed my opinion."
Xu Yihan nodded, "Well, thank you Miss Gu, it's very rare that you can tell me these..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps behind him and Ye Junlin walked in.
"Mianmian, Butler Xu has caught us."
With a loud "clang"!
The bowl in Xu Yihan's hand fell to the ground.
Gu Mian asked, "Where is the person?"
"We're almost at the Ye family." Ye Junlin said, "The person has already escaped from London. Thanks to Mr. Li's help, we were able to catch him so quickly."
......
Li Tingshen had just finished his noodles when Butler Xu was brought to the Ye family.
The gunshot wound on his leg had not healed yet, and he was carried in on a stretcher.
"Dad!" Xu Yihan rushed forward, "Where have you been? Why haven't you sent any messages?"
"Yihuan..." Butler Xu looked much older, "Dad made you worry..."
"Dad, what happened? Explain it to Grandpa!"
"I...I..." Butler Xu's face turned pale, "I just want to go out and relax..."
"Dad, Yin Luoxue is not the biological daughter of the Ye family at all. You found her and sent her for a paternity test. Explain what is going on."
"I don't know..." Butler Xu denied, "How could such a thing happen..."
"Are you sure you don't want to tell the truth?" Ye Junlin said coldly, "When Yin Luoxue returned to China, she specifically asked you to stay by her side and take care of her. If I say that you two don't have a private relationship, do you believe it yourself?"
"Going out to relax? How many countries do you need to smuggle through to relax?"
"Dad, if you are really involved, just tell the truth." Xu Yihan said anxiously, "Even if you don't admit it, Junlin will find out!"
"Yes, tell me now." Jiang Yi said, "You and your daughter depend on each other for survival. You did this only for your daughter. If you tell the truth now, Master Ye might forgive you."
Gu Mian turned around and glanced at Jiang Yi.
You can't tell, Jiang Yi looks nonchalant, but he actually sees things very clearly.
Xu Yihan cried, "Dad, you didn't really do such a stupid thing just to make me marry Jun Lin? How could you deceive the Ye family?"
"That's not the case!" Butler Xu explained hastily, "It was... Yin Luoxue who threatened me..."
Xu Yihan was shocked, "So that paternity test report was really fabricated by you?"
Butler Xu said with a painful look on his face, "What the Ye family cares about most is the lost young lady, so for all these years, I have been secretly trying to find out the whereabouts of the young lady, hoping to find her back."
"Because I know that as long as I can find the young lady, no matter what I ask, the master will agree. So as long as I find the young lady, I can realize Yihuan's wish and let her marry Master Junlin smoothly."
"God blesses those who work hard. I received news that the jade pendant that the Ye family passed down to the young lady actually appeared on the market. I hurried over and found that the jade pendant was on a Chinese girl, Yin Luoxue."
"She was seriously injured and was rescued by fishermen at sea. The fishermen saw that she had nothing but the jade pendant on her neck which was worth some money, so they sold it and even wanted to sell her along with it."
"The jade pendant was on Yin Luoxue, and she had panda blood. I thought she was really the daughter of the Ye family, so I took her back to the Ye family!"
"The old man was very excited when he saw the jade pendant, but he was still cautious. He wanted to make a paternity test, so he asked someone to take his wife's hair."
"But before we even left the house, Yin Luoxue told me that she wasn't the daughter of the Ye family at all. I was stunned on the spot!"
"Then she threatened me, saying that I must have a way to turn her into the daughter of the Ye family. If I didn't do it, she would tell the master that I had asked her to impersonate him. Then, Yi Huan would have no chance of marrying Master Jun Lin..."
Butler Xu burst into tears, "Master, I really don't want to disappoint you, and I can't ruin Yi Huan's lifelong happiness, so I can only do as you say..."
"I secretly went to Master Junlin's room and found a strand of his hair on the bed. I pretended it was Yin Luoxue's and did a paternity test with Madam..."
Xu Yihuan's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Ye Junlin sneered, "It was obviously you who agreed to Yin Luoxue's request for your own selfish desires, but you ended up portraying yourself as a victim?"
"Master, I..." Butler Xu burst into tears, "I know I was wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't blame Yi Huan. She knows nothing!"
"Since we are in a cooperative relationship, Yin Luoxue must have told you where she got her jade pendant." Li Ting, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "You already knew that Gu Mian was the real daughter of the Ye family, otherwise how could she have been so decisive in escaping that night."
Ye Junlin's eyes were cold, "So you already knew that Gu Mian was my biological sister, but you let Yin Luoxue hurt her!"
"Master, I know I was wrong!" Butler Xu stood up and knelt down in front of Ye Junlin, kowtowed heavily, "Yin Luoxue is a lunatic, I really can't do anything with her..."
"How dare you make excuses!" Ye Junlin's face was as gloomy as water. "You have countless opportunities to tell me the truth. As long as you tell me the truth, she won't be able to do anything evil!"
"But you didn't. You almost killed my own sister just so your daughter could marry me!"
"Master, I am guilty. I almost killed the young lady. I deserve to die..." Butler Xu held Xu Yihuan's wrist, "But Yihuan is innocent. She knows nothing!"
"One night of marriage means a hundred days of love, Master, I beg you not to be angry with her, I beg you to treat her well..."
"You clearly know the truth, but you didn't treat my sister well. How can you expect me to treat your daughter well?" Ye Junlin sneered, "Don't you know how she tricked me into climbing into my bed?"
Xu Yihan's face had already turned as pale as paper.
She calmed down with difficulty, stood up and walked to Ye Junlin, "I don't ask you to like me, I just want you to spare my father's life for the sake of his decades of hard work for the Ye family."
"I will take responsibility for the mistakes he made."
"Can you afford it?" Ye Junlin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you think you can afford it?"
Xu Yihan anxiously pulled his arm, "Jun Lin, I beg you..."
As soon as she touched Ye Junlin's hand, he shook her hand away in resistance.
Xu Yihan lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Gu Mian was startled and quickly stood up to help her, "Are you okay?"
"Mianmian, don't worry about her!" Ye Junlin's voice was cold and gloomy, "I won't let them go!"
Gu Mian ignored Ye Junlin's words and asked, "Can you get up?"
"No..." Xu Yihan covered her stomach in pain, "It hurts..."
