Chapter 310 You really don’t know that I like you, right?

Gu Mian looked at him in shock, "How do you know..."

"Mianmian, I know more than you think."

"How did you know this?" Gu Mian asked, "Even my master doesn't know this!"

"Mr. Lu Lang suspected the relationship between you and Lu Yueming, but Lu Yueming did not admit it."

"How do you know so clearly?" Gu Mian frowned, "Did my master tell you about his suspicions?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu Lang truly loves you, and he won't do anything that's bad for you." Gu Xingzhi took the last puff of his cigarette and stomped the cigarette butt on the ground. "I installed a wiretap in his phone. It's a wiretap I developed myself, and it can evade all detection."

Gu Mian's fingertips trembled, "So you have been eavesdropping on my master's privacy!"

"Mianmian, don't blame me. I just want to understand your situation better."

Gu Mian suppressed his anger and tried to stay calm, and asked, "You just said that it was my stepmother who killed Liu Qingyu personally?"

"Yes." Gu Xingzhi smiled, "Everyone has weaknesses. She is alone, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just a pity that she has you..."

Gu Mian's pupils suddenly contracted!

"You're using me to threaten my mother?"

"Yes, I used you to test her and I knew the relationship between you two. As long as you are around, she will be willing to compromise with whatever you want Lu Yueming to do...including murder."

Gu Mian burst into tears, "It would be easy for you to kill Liu Qingyu, why did you take such a roundabout way and let me, your mother, do it?"

"Mianmian, I killed Liu Qingyu for another reason. I wanted to see Li Tingshen suffer." Gu Xingzhi smiled lightly, "But his relationship with Liu Qingyu wasn't that deep."

"Even if I kill Liu Qingyu, he won't feel any pain or itching, so of course I have to put in some effort."

"Li Tingshen doesn't know the relationship between you and Lu Yueming. Liu Qingyu died at the hands of Lu Yueming. He will definitely avenge his mother."

"With your personality, you can't possibly forgive him for killing your mother."

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

"You have been planning all along. Not only do you want to kill Liu Qingyu, but you also want to alienate me and Ting Shen and make him suffer."

"I can understand that you hate Li Hongxuan and Liu Qingyu, but Ting Shen is innocent. He doesn't know anything about Aunt Gu. Why are you targeting him?"

"He is the son of Li Hongxuan and Liu Qingyu, so of course he is guilty." Gu Xingzhi said with a smile, "Mianmian, let me tell you that I have been planning to deal with Li Tingshen for a long time."

"Long time ago? How long?"

"Since the day you told me you liked him."

Gu Mian was stunned. “That was more than ten years ago.”

"Yes, more than ten years ago..." Gu Xingzhi stared at her deeply, "Mianmian, did you know that I died on that day?"

"Do you know that the day you fell in love with Li Tingshen, you strangled me to death with your own hands?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Mian's mind was in a mess. "I like Shang Tingshen. What does it have to do with you?"

"Mianmian, you really don't know that I like you, right?"

"You... like me?"

"Yes, I like you, I always have." Gu Xingzhi's deep eyes showed a trace of pain, "In fact, I didn't know my life experience until my mother died. I knew it a long time ago."

"I was in the fourth grade that year. It was a rainy afternoon and the school was closed early. When I returned home, I saw a man coming out of my house with his pants lifted."

"I heard him making a phone call reporting how my mother had sold herself and how hard life was, and at the end I heard him calling the person on the other end of the phone Madam Li."

"I threatened to die to get my mother to tell me the truth. She cried and told me everything. In the end, she begged me to forget it all."

"But Mianmian, if it were you, could you forget it?"

"Later, my mother contracted AIDS and we couldn't stay there any longer, so we moved to your hometown and were taken in by your grandmother."

"I was just beginning to fall in love at that time, and you were so nice to me, it was hard for me not to like you."

"But I live in darkness and carry on with heavy burdens. I dare not tell you that I like you."

"My mother saw it, and she told me to study hard so that I could be worthy of you when I grow up."

"I did the same. I tried hard to forget my past and those who harmed my mother and me, because she said that I should be a pure and clean person to be worthy of someone as pure and flawless as you."

Gu Xingzhi's tears rolled down, "Later, she passed away. You are the only one left in my life... But Mianmian, you fell in love with Li Tingshen, the Li family member who killed my mother. How can I accept this?"

Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "So you've already investigated the Li family, so even though you've never met him, as soon as you heard the name Li Tingshen, you knew who he was."

"Yes, I hate the Li family for killing my mother, and I hate Li Tingshen even more for taking you away. From that day on, I swore that I would return to the Li family and take revenge..."

Gu Xingzhi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face. "Although you and Li Tingshen are from two different worlds, it doesn't matter. I will find a way to bring you together."

"You are so beautiful and kind, any man will fall in love with you. I will let Li Ting fall deeply in love with you, and then lose you, so that he can taste the pain of being loved but not being able to get you."

"So I started to prepare and wrote the diary."

"What did you say?" Gu Mian was shocked. "Did you prepare that diary at that time? Did you write it on purpose?"

"Yes, I originally planned to return to the Li family during college. Madam Li is kind and knows that I am Gu Wanrou's son. She will definitely protect me. Then I will take you to the Li family and let you get to know Li Ting better."

"But I didn't expect that Liu Qingyu would attack me directly. I didn't die at her hands, and ended up in northern Myanmar."

"You're doing very well in northern Myanmar, and you should have known that I married Li Tingshen a long time ago, right?" Gu Mian asked.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that even without my help, you would have met Li Tingshen and married him so smoothly." Gu Xingzhi laughed at himself, "Mianmian, I have to say that Li Tingshen is luckier than me."

"He got everything I wanted, including you."

"Since you are already married, I am not in a hurry to return home. I will just stay in northern Myanmar and make some money first. After all, it will cost a lot of money to clean up the Li family..."

Gu Mian burst into tears, "It turns out that the people I thought were my closest family members had been planning to use me to deal with Li Tingshen so long ago."

"Your plan is to make Li Ting fall deeply in love with me, and then lose me, causing him pain."

"But Xingzhi, you know that I like him, and you know that when he is in pain, I will also be in pain, but you have never thought about my feelings at all."

"The premise of all your plans is to use me and sacrifice me..."

"Mianmian, I'm sorry." Gu Xingzhi looked at her, "I have no other choice."

"It's not that you don't have other choices, but because I am a tool that you can use at your leisure." The pain in Gu Mian's eyes was replaced by a hint of coldness. "You succeeded. That diary caused a misunderstanding between Ting Shen and me."

"You used me to threaten my mother and made her kill Liu Qingyu. Ting Shen killed my mother in revenge, which led to a rift between Ting Shen and me. We were separated for three years and suffered for three years."

"Xingzhi, you succeeded. You took revenge on Tingshen very successfully...but my love for Tingshen harmed him."

"If I hadn't fallen in love with him, I wouldn't have married him, and he wouldn't have had a soft spot for you to hit!"

"Mianmian, do you regret it?" Gu Xingzhi's eyes flashed with anticipation, "Do you regret falling in love with him? If you hadn't fallen in love with him, he really wouldn't have to go through all this."

"If you hadn't fallen in love with him, I wouldn't be like this now."

"I will not seek revenge on the Li family. We will be together, get married, have children, and live the most stable and peaceful life. That is what my mother is most looking forward to seeing."

"I do regret it, but I don't regret falling in love with Ting Shen. I regret not seeing your true colors earlier!"

A loud "boom"!

A thunder rumbled overhead!

The already gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds.

The two people stared at each other at a distance of about one meter, and the atmosphere was tense.

Gu Xingzhi took out a cigarette and lit it. "Mianmian, you came to see me today, it's impossible that you didn't have any preparation, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be people on standby around here, maybe even snipers?"

"Yes, since I know you have a problem, I will naturally not put myself in danger." Gu Mian said coldly, "Xingzhi, go and turn yourself in."

"Why should I turn myself in?" Gu Xingzhi said calmly, "Even if you were recording just now, it doesn't matter. Recordings cannot be used as evidence in court, don't you know?"

"Do you think we will let you go if you don't turn yourself in?" Gu Mian said, "I'm just trying to persuade you to turn yourself in for Aunt Gu's sake."

"With Ting Shen's methods, it's better to be in prison than to fall into his hands."

"Mianmian, since I started planning early, I certainly have enough confidence to make myself invincible." Gu Xingzhi blew out a smoke ring, "Mianmian, you won't touch me."

"Why do you think so?" Gu Mian looked at him. "With just one gesture from me, you will die here."

Gu Xingzhi smiled calmly, "What if I tell you that Lu Yueming is not dead?"

"What did you say?" Gu Mian was stunned. "Say it again!"

"Mianmian, Lu Yueming is your godmother. How could I bear to hurt her and make you sad?"

Although Gu Mian was shocked and excited, she also knew his purpose and said calmly, "You spared her life not for me, but so that you can use her to threaten me after the truth is revealed."

Gu Xingzhi was noncommittal. "Mianmian, you are very smart. You have been smart since you were a child."

Gu Mian closed his eyes and tried to stay calm. "What do you want me to do to let her go?"

Gu Xingzhi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Use Li Tingshen's life in exchange for Lu Yueming's life."

"You clearly know it's impossible." Gu Mian said coldly, "I won't let you touch even a hair of Ting Shen."

"Don't you hate Ting Shen? Then use my life in exchange for my mother's life. If I die, Ting Shen will be in agony, and your goal will be achieved."

"Mianmian, why do you feel that I would let you die?" Gu Xingzhi's face was filled with pain. "Do you know that my love for you is no less than Li Ting's..."

"Gu Xingzhi, you are so pathetic. Even in this situation, you are still deceiving yourself." Gu Mian exposed him, "You have never loved me, but yourself."

"Maybe even your hatred for Ting Shen is just an excuse for me falling in love with him."

"Because it's reasonable for you to only hate Li Hongxuan and Liu Qingyu. Aunt Gu's tragedy has nothing to do with Tingshen."

"But you twistedly vented your hatred on Ting Shen. What's the difference between what you did and what Liu Qingyu did back then, when he didn't resent Li Hongxuan but dealt with Aunt Gu instead?"

"Shut up!" Gu Xingzhi suddenly shouted angrily!

Raindrops as big as beans fell down, quickly soaking the bodies of both people.

But no one left to avoid the rain, but just stared into each other's eyes silently.

The bodyguard rushed over and held an umbrella for Gu Mian.

Gu Mian looked at the man standing in the rain and said with a smile, "Gu Xingzhi, your gentleness, humility, and kindness are all pretended. This is the real you at this moment, sinister, vicious, and twisted."

"Aunt Gu must be extremely disappointed watching you from heaven. She gave you this name in the hope that you would practice what you preach, but you have completely disobeyed her."

Gu Xingzhi closed his eyes, "Mianmian, don't force me..."

"This is what I want to say to you, Gu Xingzhi. Don't force me." Gu Mian said word by word, "If you dare to touch my mother and Ting Shen, I will die with you."

After Gu Mian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After getting in the car, the bodyguard immediately handed over a towel and a blanket, "Madam, wipe it first."

Gu Mian wiped his hair with a towel.

"Madam, what did Gu Xingzhi say to you?" the bodyguard asked. "You look very unhappy."

Gu Mian only arranged for someone to protect her safety in secret and did not let the bodyguards hear their conversation.

"Nothing."

"Then how should we report this to President Li?"

Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to report it. I will talk to Ting Shen myself."

"yes."

......

At night, when Li Tingshen returned to the master bedroom, Gu Mian was not there.

He went straight to the study and saw Gu Mian busy at the computer.

"You have a job?"

Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."

She closed her computer and followed Li Tingshen back to the master bedroom.

As soon as I walked into the bathroom, Li Tingshen followed me in.

"What are you doing?" Gu Mian asked, "I'm taking a shower."

The man's eyes were heavy, "Together."

Under the shower, the two kissed each other.

The hot water flowed down the two people's entangled bodies, and the bathroom was soon filled with mist, hazy and ambiguous.

When Gu Mian was kissed so hard that she couldn't breathe, Li Tingshen finally let go of her lips.

But the next second, the man pressed her against the glass and took her in one move.

Gu Mian tilted his head back, tears welled up in his eyes and mixed with the water droplets that fell down.

After getting used to it, Gu Mian took the initiative to kiss the man's thin lips...
