Chapter 325 She Doesn’t Love You

The two turned around and saw an old lady with a noble face coming in from the door, followed by Aunt Zhang.

Li Tingshen pulled his hand back and turned to look at her.

“Bang!”

The next second, a slap hit Li Tingshen's face hard.

Li Tingshen was hit and turned his head away, but he didn't say a word.

"Who are you?" Lan Jinghao hurriedly got up from the bed, jumped off the bed and stood in front of Li Tingshen, accusing, "How can you hit someone so casually!"

"Miss Lan, this is the old lady of the Li family." Mother Zhang introduced.

Lan Jing was stunned.

The old lady of the Li family, that is, Xiao Gu’s grandmother?

She suddenly became a little nervous, "Hello, old lady..."

Madam Li simply ignored her and looked at Li Tingshen with anger.

"I told you that you came back safely, but Gu Mian stopped me from coming to see you. She said she was afraid that I would be sad if I saw that you didn't remember what I looked like. She said she would give you some time to adjust before bringing you home to see me. It turned out that she was afraid that I would know that you had another woman outside!"

Mother Zhang hurriedly tried to appease the old lady, "Old lady, please calm down..."

"They've become so affectionate and are planning to have a baby, how can I calm down!" The old lady was so angry that her chest heaved, "Ting Shen, do you know that after you fell off the cliff, you took half of Gu Mian's life!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you have a child, she would have gone with you. She managed to pull herself together and survive with great difficulty!"

"So, when she was in so much pain that she would rather die than live, you were with another woman!"

Aunt Zhang said hurriedly, "Madam, the eldest master has lost his memory. He doesn't remember the eldest mistress at all..."

"Amnesia is not dementia! Doesn't he know to go to the police station to investigate his identity?" The old lady was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. "I really feel sorry for Gu Mian. In the past six months, she has been suffering and tormenting every day, but you...you..."

"Old Madam!" Zhang's mother was distressed, "Please calm down. If the eldest young lady knew that you were so angry, she would be distressed..."

The old lady closed her eyes and said, "This silly child has always only considered others and never considered himself..."

"Forget it. Don't let her know that I was here today. She's already feeling miserable enough. Don't add to her burden."

"As for you." Madam Li looked at Li Tingshen sternly, "If you dare to pester this woman again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"I remind you that in the imperial capital, it is easy for me to take a life."

Lan Jing was so frightened that she shuddered violently!

The old lady turned around and left.

"Xiao Gu..." Lan Jing said tremblingly, "What she said... must be false, right? Now we live in a society ruled by law, how can we kill people casually..."

"The Li family is rich and powerful, so it should be normal for them to kill people, and they can get away with it."

Lan Jinghao sobbed, "Xiao Gu, I did nothing wrong, why did she treat me like this..."

"I'm here, and no one will hurt you."

Lan Jing was delighted. "Xiao Gu, how about we go back to Lanjia Village? The people here are really vicious. Lanjia Village is the cleanest. Let's go back and live the simplest and quietest life, okay?"

"Hello, I can't go back with you."

"Why?" Lan Jinghao asked anxiously, "Is it because of your grandma's warning just now? You are afraid that he will hurt me, right?"

Lan Jinghao looked fearless, "Xiao Gu, as long as I can be with you, I am not afraid of anything! Even if it means death, I am willing to do it!"

Li Ting looked at her deeply, "Hello, Jinghao, this time when I came to the capital, I originally planned to go to the police station to check my identity and apply for a new ID card and household registration booklet."

"If I were unmarried and childless, I should indeed fulfill my promise to you and repay you for saving my life."

"But now that I know I have a family, a wife and children, I can't marry you. Bigamy is against the law."

"Then you should just get a divorce!" Lan Jinghao blurted out, "You don't even remember her, so you naturally have no feelings for her."

"And I don't think she cares about you that much. She said that if you touch me, she will divorce you. Does this mean she loves you?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tingshen's face had already turned gloomy.

"Xiao Gu, think carefully about whether what I said is right." Lan Jinghao observed his expression and continued, "She is very beautiful and has a good temperament, but she does not love you."

"Your grandmother just said that she was living a life worse than death after you fell off the cliff, but judging by her attitude towards you now, she must be pretending..."

Li Tingshen's face was frighteningly gloomy.

"Little patron..."

Lan Jing was about to speak when Li Tingshen interrupted her, "Aren't you dizzy? Have a good rest."

After Li Tingshen finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Little Pat...Little Pat!"

The only response she got was the man's back disappearing through the door.

......

Gu Mian had no appetite, so he had a simple work lunch and drove to the hospital.

Pei Jianchuan's illness was kept secret from the outside world. He was staying in a high-end ward on the top floor. He was the only one living on the entire floor.

Gu Mian walked into the ward carrying a thermos bucket. "What's going on?"

Pei Jianchuan lay alone on the hospital bed, "Much better."

"I made some medicinal porridge for you, come and have some."

"good."

Gu Mian served him some porridge.

Pei Jianchuan tasted it and said, "It tastes good."

"Then drink more. If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"You are so busy at work, don't waste your time doing this for me."

"It's because I'm busy that I need to take time out to get up and move around." Gu Mian smiled and sat down on a chair beside the bed. "For me, this is relaxation."

"Gu Mian, you are amazing. The burden of the MS Group is not light."

Gu Mian scratched his head in embarrassment, "You think too highly of me. It's only because of my brother's help that I can barely cope with it."

"You don't need to belittle yourself. Besides, the Ye family's genes are not bad. You are smart and hardworking. It is only a matter of time before President Ye lets go." Pei Jianchuan said while drinking porridge, "Now it's good. President Li has returned safely. When he recovers his memory, you don't need to bear such a heavy burden."

Pei Jianchuan looked at her. "But from what you said today, you seem to be indifferent to Mr. Li... Are you blaming him for developing an emotional entanglement with another woman during your amnesia?"

The smile on Gu Mian's face gradually disappeared. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the prosperity of the imperial capital.

"Jinchuan, do you believe in fate?"

"I didn't believe it before, but now I do." Pei Jianchuan smiled, "I even wondered if Xiaobao's mother and sister were implicated by me and thus had to face the disaster they were unable to escape."

"Because it is my destiny that I cannot get what I want, even living a good life is a luxury."

"What if I'm the same as you?" Gu Mian's eyes were filled with tears. "My grandfather is a fortune teller. He said that I have a bad fate, especially my marriage, which is extremely unlucky."

"So I can't help but wonder, could a gifted person like Ting Shen have had a smooth life without having to go through these hardships?"

"I was the one who caused him to fall off the cliff this time. After he recovers his memory, will there be another hardship waiting for us?"

Gu Mian closed his eyes in pain. "He almost died this time, but luckily he survived. What about next time? Will he be so lucky again?"

"Jinchuan, I'm really afraid that my love will hurt him..."

"Gu Mian, I understand your feelings." Pei Jianchuan put down the bowl in his hand, "But have you ever thought about what President Li would choose?"

"Today at MS Group, when he saw us hugging each other, he was obviously angry." Pei Jianchuan smiled and shook his head, "Even though he has lost his memory, he can still be jealous. It shows that he loves you instinctively in his bones."

"Gu Mian, if you really believe in fate, you should believe that you are destined to be together. If that's the case, you shouldn't make decisions for him."

"I didn't make the decision for him," Gu Mian explained. "I just wanted to give him more time to think about it, instead of impatiently tying him down with my family and children and forcing him to come back to me."

Pei Jianchuan nodded, "But I believe that no matter how much time you give him, he will come back to you."

......

When Gu Mian walked out of the ward, she saw Gu Xing standing outside the door, apparently waiting for her.

Gu Mian frowned slightly, raised his hand, and called the nurse, "This is a private ward, how did she get up here?"

The nurse hurriedly explained, "Miss Gu, she said she was your cousin and had something urgent to ask you, so we allowed her to come."

Gu Mian said calmly, "I have nothing to do with her. If she uses my name to do things for me again, I will not bear the corresponding consequences."

The nurse nodded quickly, "Yes."

Gu Xing was wearing a loose hospital gown, looking weak and pitiful. He looked at Gu Mian aggrievedly, "Sister, do you have to be so cruel to me?"

"Miss Gu, have you lost your memory?" Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips. "Do I need to remind you of what happened between us?"

Gu Xing pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

Gu Mian directly broke the window paper, "You came to me today just to hope that I can help you enter the Ye family."

"Wake up, if you know me a little, you should know that I will never help your mistress to get promoted."

"Sister, I don't want to marry Ye Huaizhi anymore!" Gu Xing cried, "I just want my child. I haven't seen him since he was born. I really want to see what he looks like!"

Gu Xing knelt down in front of Gu Mian, crying breathlessly, "Sister, you also have a child, so you should understand my feelings the best, right?"

"Ye Huaizhi can still have his own children, but I have already had my uterus removed. I can never have another child in this lifetime. This is my only biological child!"

Gu Xing kowtowed heavily, "So sister, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time and help me get my child back, I beg you, sister..."

"It's useless for you to beg me." Gu Mian frowned and said, "This child is also Ye Huaizhi's. He wants to use this child to train the next generation of the Ye family heir. To put it bluntly, this child is a tool for him to seize power. How could he give the child to you?"

Gu Xing knelt on the ground and looked at her with tears in his eyes. "But you are the daughter of the Ye family, and your words carry a lot of weight."

"I may have a say in other matters, but this is a big deal." Gu Mian analyzed, "The Ye family has few children this generation. The child you gave birth to is Grandpa's eldest great-grandson. He will definitely cultivate him carefully. No matter how much he loves me, he will never send his eldest great-grandson away for you to raise."

Gu Xing broke down and cried out, "Are my child and I going to be separated from each other and never see each other again?"

"Now that things have come to this, no one can help you. The result now is the result of the cause you sowed in the past." Gu Mian sighed silently, "Gu Xing, if you really know you are wrong, it is not too late to repent now."

"Accept reality and live your life well."

"It seems that the Ye family intends to treat this child as the child of Ye Huaizhi and his wife, and will not let the child know about your relationship with him. But I can ask the Ye family to send you photos of the child regularly."

"Sister, I am really in pain and regretful. I have nothing now." Gu Xing sat on the ground in despair. "The love I longed for, my happiness, have all vanished into thin air..."

Gu Mian looked at her and said, "I heard that the Ye family gave you money, but you didn't accept it? Now that things have come to this, you should think more about your future."

"Sister, I listen to you. Although I am not ready to sell my child, I must live. Only by living can I watch my child grow up, even if it is separated by a sea of ​​people..." Gu Xing sobbed, "But I have already torn up the check..."

Gu Mian suddenly reacted and sneered out loud.

Gu Xing looked at her aggrievedly, "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Gu Mian said, "Don't worry, I will ask the Ye family to send you another check."

"Thank you, sis."

"Go back to your ward and rest."

Gu Xing then got up and left.

Gu Mian shook his head helplessly.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

The bodyguard following her asked.

"There are more vigilant eyes than beehive coals."

"Why do you say that?" the bodyguard asked curiously, "I think she's pretty miserable."

Gu Mian gave him a look of disdain, "Do all you men fall for this?"

bodyguard:"......"

"Isn't she... miserable?"

"She was crying and her words were touching, but they were all fake," Gu Mian explained. "She used my empathy as a mother to lay the groundwork for all the previous parts, just to bring up the issue of the check."

Bodyguard: “…Ah?”

"I guess she already knew that Ye Huaizhi was determined not to want her, so she naturally tried every means to protect her own interests, so she regretted tearing up the check."

"But he can't see anyone from the Ye family right now, so he can only come to me. I'll tell the Ye family, and they will not only send a check right away, but they might even add more money. She must have figured out this little trick."

"She's been too complicated." The bodyguard pouted. "Madam, do you want to tell her?"

"The Ye family never treats anyone unfairly, and this is what she deserves."

......

After getting in the car, Gu Mian received a call from his bodyguard.

"Madam, Mr. Li has been smoking all the time."

Gu Mian frowned. "Didn't the doctor tell him that he shouldn't smoke or drink alcohol in his current condition? And he didn't seem to have smoked since he came back this time."

"I reminded him, but Mr. Li ignored me."

"......Did something happen to Lan Jinghao? Why did he suddenly start smoking?"

"The doctor came to see Miss Lan, she's fine." The bodyguard reported, "But the old lady came, and she saw that President Li and Miss Lan were very close. The old lady was very angry and slapped President Li."

"Ma'am, the old lady has told you not to know that she has been to the hotel."

"I'll pretend I don't know." Gu Mian lowered his eyes, suppressing the emotions in his eyes, "I'll go over to see him now."
