Chapter 315 In the next life, I will love you first
Gu Mian shook his head dumbly, "How could this be... How could he know... How could he make a decision without telling me..."
"Because you can't succeed." Yan Mu said truthfully, "Gu Xingzhi is a very cautious person. If he finds out that the person coming is not Ting Shen, do you think you can get close to him and successfully rescue Xiaobao?"
"Gu Xingzhi spent so many years setting up this trap for Tingshen. Being able to die with Gu Xingzhi in exchange for your stable life is already a good outcome. Do you understand?"
Gu Mian burst into tears, "But how can I live without him?"
"That's what Ting Shen said." Yan Mu choked up, "If you die, he won't be able to live, so he would rather be the one to die."
Gu Mian struggled to get up and staggered forward, "I don't believe he is dead... I want to go find him... I must find him..."
Yan Mu grabbed her arm and said, "Gu Mian, calm down..."
"How can you ask me to stay calm?" Gu Mian pushed him away and shouted in despair, "I know nothing. When I woke up, you told me that my husband fell off a cliff. How can you ask me to stay calm?"
Gu Mian shook his head, "I don't believe he would die like this... I must find him alive or dead... I must find him..."
She turned around and just as she took a step forward, her vision suddenly went dark and she fell to the ground!
"Sleep!"
......
When I woke up from my nap again, the air smelled of disinfectant.
She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in the hospital ward.
"Gu Mian, you're awake." Yan Mu was standing by the bed, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I'm fine." Gu Mian asked hurriedly, "Is there any news about Ting Shen?"
Yan Mu shook his head, "No."
"The location where they were going to meet was temporarily told to Ting Shen by Gu Xingzhi. It was impossible for Ting Shen to prepare to protect himself in advance."
"Gu Mian, Ting Shen is likely to have died in the sea."
Gu Mian's face was as pale as paper, but he still spoke firmly, "I said before, if he's alive, I want to see him, if he's dead, I want to see his body. Unless I see his body with my own eyes, he must still be alive."
Yan Mu sighed silently.
Gu Mian pursed his lips, tears rolling down his pale cheeks, "He and I still have a lot of things to do, and he hasn't heard Nian Nian call him daddy yet, he won't be willing to die..."
Yan Mu nodded, "Of course I don't want Ting Shen to get into trouble either. Don't worry, I will arrange more manpower and do my best to look for him."
"Um."
......
After daybreak, after Gu Mian had received the saline drip, he could not wait to leave the hospital and go to the scene of the incident.
The rescue team has been searching overnight, but no trace of the victim was found in the sea below the cliff, so they are expanding the search area.
Although Gu Mian couldn't help, he would rather stay here than leave.
Suddenly there was an extra weight on his shoulders. Pei Jianchuan took a shawl and draped it over Gu Mian's shoulders. "It's windy here. I asked someone to prepare a tent. You can go in and rest for a while."
"I don't need to rest." Gu Mian said softly, "He will know I'm here, and I'll wait for him to come back here."
"Gu Mian, I'm sorry." Pei Jianchuan looked at her distressedly, "If I hadn't failed to protect Xiaobao, nothing would have happened to President Li."
"It's none of your business." Gu Mian said, "Besides, Xiaobao was taken away by Gu Xingzhi because of our family's involvement. I should be the one to apologize."
"Don't say that." Pei Jianchuan said, "I have never blamed you. If I hadn't entrusted Xiaobao to you, you wouldn't have to take care of him, and Gu Xingzhi naturally couldn't use him to threaten you."
"Now I just hope that Mr. Li is alive and well, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Madam." Cheng Xu came over and nodded, "Gu Xingzhi's fraudulent business in northern Myanmar has been completely destroyed, and the Li Group will also be taken back by the old lady."
Gu Mian pursed his lips, "All of this is part of Ting Shen's plan, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Pei helped me a lot before, so it went so smoothly."
Pei Jianchuan took out a cigarette and lit it. "It's a rare opportunity for me to cooperate with President Li. It's going very smoothly. However, it's easy to destroy Gu Xingzhi's industry, but he is a person that President Li needs to risk his life to deal with..."
Gu Mian closed his eyes in pain.
......
A week passed in a flash, and there was still no news of the search and rescue.
Gu Mian would go to the cliff to guard it every day, unwilling to leave, and even more unwilling to give up.
Ye Junlin rushed to the imperial capital the day after the incident and mobilized his own people to join the rescue.
Gu Mian only met him once, said thank you, and never saw him again.
"Mianmian."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Gu Mian was startled and turned his head suddenly, seeing the face he had been thinking about day and night.
She rushed forward and hugged Lu Yueming.
"Fuck..." With only the program by his side, Gu Mian cried out wantonly, "You are finally back..."
Lu Yueming hugged her distressedly, "Good child, you and Mr. Li have suffered for me."
Gu Mian pulled up Lu Yueming's right hand, looked at the missing fingers, and cried even harder, "It's my fault for not finding you earlier. You will never be able to diagnose and treat illnesses again..."
"This is my fate. I don't blame you." Lu Yueming comforted him. "Instead, I have become a burden to you. Cheng Xu told me everything on the plane back home. I'm afraid that Mr. Li is... in danger."
"No, Ting Shen won't leave me like this." Gu Mian said firmly, "Fuck, I won't give up on him."
"But you have to face the reality." Lu Yueming held her shoulders, "The reality is that Mr. Li has almost no chance of survival, and you still have to go on."
"You are staying here day and night. You will collapse sooner or later."
"Mianmian, be obedient and go home. I won't look for you anymore, okay?"
Gu Mian shook his head vigorously, "No..."
"Mianmian!" Lu Yueming raised his voice and said, "You know very well in your heart that if you were buried in the sea, your body would have been eaten by sharks long ago, and it would be impossible to find it!"
"You are just avoiding reality! But you can't escape! Don't forget, you still have a daughter!"
Gu Mian was stunned.
"Nian Nian needs your care, and so does Old Madam Li. She specifically asked me to persuade you to return to the imperial capital."
"Mianmian, I know you are heartbroken. You must have wanted to jump off here countless times in the past few days to die with President Li, right?"
"But you can't, because even if it's for Mr. Li, you have to live, right?"
Gu Mian turned around, looked at the cliff, fell to the ground, and cried uncontrollably.
"Cry." Lu Yueming patted her back gently, "It will be better if you cry..."
......
The next day, Gu Mian boarded a plane back to the capital.
Old Madam Li had been discharged from the hospital and returned to Yunyue Bay, waiting for her at home.
"Mian girl..." When the old lady saw Gu Mian, she burst into tears with heartache, "How come you have become so thin..."
"Grandma, I'm fine." Gu Mian pulled the corner of his lips, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Ting Shen back."
"I don't blame you. Grandma just hopes that you are fine. You can't let anything happen to you again. Grandma really can't stand it anymore..."
"Grandma, I'll be fine." Gu Mian wiped the tears from her face, "Don't cry."
"Okay, grandma, don't cry."
"Grandma, I'm tired."
"Come on, go back to your room and have a good sleep."
"Um."
Gu Mian took a look at Nian Nian before returning to the master bedroom.
Looking at the familiar room in front of her, Gu Mian's heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp knife, and the pain made her almost suffocate.
She slowly closed the door, her back slid down the door panel, fell to the ground, buried her face in her knees, and cried silently.
I don’t know how long it was before Gu Mian got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
She drew the blackout curtains and forced herself to sleep.
Although I was extremely tired, I didn't feel sleepy at all and kept staring at the ceiling in a daze.
When he came to his senses, Gu Mian turned on the light and went to get the melatonin to help him sleep. Suddenly, he saw a letter in the drawer.
Gu Mian opened the letter. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and the strokes were elegant. He could recognize it as Li Tingshen's handwriting at a glance.
[Gu Mian, when you read this letter, it proves that I was unable to save Xiaobao and return home safely to have dinner with you.
These days, I have had many ideas in my mind, such as just waiting like this, and after Xiaobao and his godmother get into trouble, I will go and deal with Gu Xingzhi, and then slowly accompany you to let it go.
But when I had this thought, I just laughed at myself, because if I were such a selfish person, how could I be worthy of you?
Sorry, I was just afraid something might happen, so I monitored my phone and found out about your decision.
You will not allow Xiaobao to get into trouble because of you. You would rather use your life to get him back.
And you should also want to personally deal with the evil wolf Gu Xingzhi and put an end to all this endless troubles, right?
Actually, I want to tell you that since I knew that Mr. Pei was ill and entrusted Xiaobao to you, I have started to treat Xiaobao as my own child. Since he is my own child, how can I bear to let him get hurt?
Gu Mian, actually you always say that it was because of you that Gu Xingzhi started planning to take revenge on me so early, but that is not actually the case.
Whether you exist or not, he will hate me and take revenge on me, so to be precise, it is me who has implicated you.
If we had not met and married, you wouldn't have to endure so much suffering.
You will graduate and work well in Haicheng, find a boyfriend, fall in love, get married, have children, and live the most stable and peaceful life.
It was my appearance that disturbed your original peace and tranquility.
Wife, I know you must be in great pain now, but promise me that you won’t be sad for too long, and live on strongly for me, our daughter and our family.
I owe you this life, and I will pay you back in the next life.
In the next life, I will love you first.
In my next life, I will definitely find you first and fall in love with you. 】
Although it was just a piece of paper, Gu Mian felt that the letter in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.
Her fingertips trembled slightly and she curled up on the bed. She felt so heartbroken that she almost suffocated and couldn't even shed tears.
"You didn't even ask me..." A hoarse voice sounded in the large and luxurious master bedroom, "Ting Shen, you didn't even ask me, but you made the decision for me and let me take the difficult path..."
"Do you know that living is the hardest thing..."
......
Gu slept for a whole day and night.
The old lady called the doctors to her house to check on her condition at any time.
Fortunately, Gu Mian's body was normal, he just slept very deeply.
When I woke up again, my sleep complexion was better.
The family members were still discussing how to comfort her, but unexpectedly, Gu Mian's mood calmed down a lot, and she went downstairs to eat with everyone as if nothing had happened.
"Mian girl, you have lost a lot of weight, eat more vegetables."
"Thank you, grandma." Gu Mian curled his lips, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so take good care of yourself with Doctor Lu."
The old lady choked up and said, "Okay, as long as you are well, grandma will listen to you in everything."
Gu Mian picked up the spoon and continued drinking the soup.
After dinner, Gu Mian called the programmer to Yunyue Bay.
"How is the MS Group doing now?"
The program manager reported, "Madam, you must be overwhelmed. The group was originally managed by Lawyer Yan."
"But Mr. Ye said that business management is not Lawyer Yan's area of expertise, so he will take over and help you."
Gu Mian was slightly startled, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"Boss Ye has instructed us not to disturb you unless it's something serious."
"Don't worry, Madam. Mr. Ye is very capable. He only needs some time to adapt. He should be able to take over the MS Group soon."
"No wonder I haven't seen him these days. It turns out that he is in the capital helping me deal with the MS Group's affairs." Gu Mian thought, "But he has his own work, plus the MS Group, he must be too busy to handle it."
"Boss Ye said that Master Ye has decided to move his family back to the capital. His work focus will be in the capital from now on. Lawyer Yan will also help."
Gu Mian nodded. "This burden is too heavy. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Ma'am, this is what I should do."
"I should have taken on this responsibility. You are sharing it with me." Gu Mian looked at him. "Don't hide anything from me about the MS Group. We will face it together."
"When I get back in shape, I won't make it so hard for you guys."
"Yes, ma'am."
Gu Mian's eyes flashed coldly, "Although Gu Xingzhi's power has been disintegrated, there is no guarantee that there will not be trouble in the future. Continue to clean up and make sure his people have no ability to fight back."
"yes."
"The Li Group is now under grandma's name, right?"
"Yes."
"My grandma is old now, and Li Xingze doesn't want to be involved in these things. Please help me find a professional manager to take care of it."
"That's what the old lady meant."
Gu Mian nodded, "It's nothing, go ahead."
"yes."
......
At night, I couldn't sleep, so I just got up and went out.
She walked aimlessly in the neighborhood and unknowingly arrived at the Ye family villa.
The light was on in the room. Gumian hesitated for a moment but didn't ring the doorbell.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a black luxury car drove up from a distance and stopped beside her.
"Mianmian." Ye Junlin got out of the car, "Why are you here so late?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk." Gu Mian asked, "Did you just get off work?"
"Yes." Ye Junlin walked forward, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"good."
In the villa, Ye Junlin made her a cup of medicinal tea. "This is what Dr. Lu prescribed for me. He said it helps me sleep."
Gu Mian took the teacup and said, "Thank you."
Ye Junlin looked at her, "Mianmian, you came here tonight, is there anything you want to say to me?"
