Chapter 339 So will we last forever?

"Be quiet!"

Li Ting was fully aware of what she was about to do, and subconsciously reached out to hold her.

But his hand only touched Lan Jing's clothes and failed to catch her.

The next second, Lan Jinghao's head hit the wall directly, and after a dull "bang", he fell to the ground in a faint!

"Be quiet!"

Li Tingshen rushed over to check her injuries and took out his cell phone to make a call.

Before Gu Mian drove back home, he received a call from Li Tingshen.

"Gu Mian, Jing just hit his head against the wall and committed suicide!"

"What did you say?"

......

Lan Jinghao was immediately sent to the hospital and admitted to the emergency room.

"I took her pulse and her life is not in danger."

Outside the emergency room, Gu Mian looked at the man next to him.

"She must have watched too many period dramas. The probability of successfully committing suicide by ramming into a wall is actually very low. With her strength, the most she would suffer is injuries and a concussion."

Li Ting nodded deeply, "That's good."

Gu Mian walked to a nearby bench and sat down. "But I'll wait until I'm sure she's okay before I go back."

Li Tingshen sat down with her, "Don't you want to ask her why she wanted to hit her head against the wall and commit suicide?"

"She didn't get what she wanted, did she?"

"Yes." Li Ting said, "I told her very clearly that I would not like her. She couldn't accept this fact."

"There's nothing wrong with you telling the truth." Gu Mian said seriously, "Even if you didn't get married, you wouldn't be happy if you married her to repay her."

"Love is the foundation of a happy marriage. A marriage without love is unlikely to last long."

Li Ting looked at her deeply, "So will this last forever?"

"Of course." Gu Mian said without hesitation, "I married you for other reasons, but more importantly, it was because of love."

"Gu Mian, thank you."

"Thank me?" Gu Mian asked curiously.

"Yes, thank you for loving me. I feel... honored."

Gu Mian curled his lips and said, "Our feelings are mutual, no thanks needed."

The two of them sat quietly, but they felt strangely at ease when they fell asleep.

She admitted that it was the words she had just heard in the villa that had caused her to feel uneasy.

She didn't go in because she was afraid that her presence would irritate Lan Jinghao, so she left quietly.

But unexpectedly, Lan Jinghao still got into trouble.

......

More than an hour later, the door of the emergency room was finally opened.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li." The doctor came out and reported, "Miss Lan suffered a minor head injury. She has been bandaged. She has a mild concussion and needs to be hospitalized for observation overnight."

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Mian thanked him, "I'll transfer him to the advanced ward for recuperation. Thank you for taking good care of him."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Li. This is what we should do."

Gu Mian turned to look at Li Tingshen, "Do you want to go see her?"

"Now that she sees me, she will probably be even more emotional and more likely to do something out of the ordinary."

"Then let her rest first and come to see her tomorrow."

The bodyguards and servants arranged by Gu Mian had already come to the hospital to take care of Lan Jing, and the two of them left the hospital directly.

As soon as they got home, they saw the old lady sitting on the sofa in the living room, apparently waiting for them.

"Why are you making trouble again?" The old lady said unhappily, "I'll give her whatever money she wants. If she wants a man, she's pretty and now she's Ting Shen's savior, there are many men who want to marry her, let her pick who she wants, just don't keep staring at Ting Shen, I can arrange anything for her."

"Grandma, don't be angry." Gu Mian stepped forward to comfort her, "We will handle this matter ourselves, please don't worry about it, okay?"

"It's like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to Ting Shen, so of course I have to take care of it."

"Grandma, that's not nice to hear. Don't say it again." Gu Mian said seriously, "If it weren't for her, Ting Shen might have died. For this reason, we should treat her well."

The old lady sighed, "But with her making so much noise, how can we have a peaceful life at home?"

"I told you, I will solve it." Gu Mian promised earnestly, "Please trust me, okay?"

"......All right."

"I'll help you go back to your room to rest."

......

The next morning.

Gu Mian originally wanted to go to the hospital with Li Tingshen to visit Lan Jinghao, but there were two important meetings scheduled at the MS Group in the morning, so she had to go to take care of her work first.

Gu Mian sent Li Tingshen to the hospital entrance and warned him, "Try not to irritate her. If something goes wrong, ask the doctor to give her a sedative."

"There must be someone by her side. We cannot be careless for even a minute, otherwise she might commit suicide again."

"knew."

Gu Mian watched Li Tingshen walk into the hospital before telling the driver to drive.

Gu Mian was in meetings all morning and did not return to the president's office until almost noon.

The secretary had already ordered lunch. "Madam, please eat first. There is not much work to do in the afternoon. You can have a rest after eating before going to the hospital."

"good."

Gu Mian sat down to eat and picked up his cell phone to call the bodyguard guarding the hospital.

"How's Miss Lan?"

"Madam, when President Li came this morning, Miss Lan had already woken up, but she was crying silently and didn't talk to President Li. President Li stayed for a while and then went home."

"Is she stable now?"

"He has been lying in bed, refusing to eat or drink, but his safety is not a problem. Our people are guarding him closely."

"good."

Gu Mian hung up the phone and concentrated on eating.

She wasn't feeling sleepy at all, so she went straight to the hospital after dinner.

"Madam." The bodyguard at the door nodded and greeted, "Miss Lan is in a very low mood. Although she is not making any noise, she has been crying."

Gu Mian knocked on the door and walked into the ward. Just as the bodyguard said, Lan Jing was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, and her mood was visibly depressed.

"You guys go out first, I'll stay with you here."

"yes."

The bodyguard and the servant nodded and left.

Gu Mian scooped out the soup in his hand, and the fragrance spread throughout the ward.

"The chicken soup in this restaurant tastes good. You are weak, so you need to eat more."

"No need." Lan Jinghao shed tears silently, "I don't have this blessing."

Gu Mian smiled, put down the bowl in his hand, and sat down on the chair beside the bed. "Miss Lan, why are you doing this?"

"You hit your head against the wall just to make Xiao Gu feel bad, but it's obvious that he didn't feel bad for you. Instead, you suffered." Gu Mian looked at her forehead wrapped in gauze. "Although it's a mild concussion, it still hurts, doesn't it?"

Lan Jing was so angry that her lips were trembling. She turned around and looked at Gu Mian, her voice trembling, "You are very proud, right? You have everything, a pretty face, a noble family, and endless money."

"But I have nothing. You want to take away the only patron I have."

"Are you sure that Xiao Gu is yours?" Gu Mian said calmly, "If it is yours, I can't take it away from you."

"Similarly, if it's not yours, it's useless no matter how hard you try."

"Who is so scheming!" Lan Jing said angrily, "I am not like you, you have countless tricks."

"Don't think I don't know. When you said that if Xiao Gu and I had had a relationship, you would divorce and let us be together, you were actually retreating to advance."

"You know divorce isn't easy, so you just pretend to be generous and bring it up just to find out how far Xiao Gu and I have progressed, right?"

Gu Mian sneered, "Your brain is good. I really don't have so many twists and turns."

"And what I said was from the heart."

"I have a cleanliness fetish. I don't want a husband who has touched another woman."

Lan Jing said disdainfully, "You've already said it. In short, you are a noble and capable lady, and I am just a country girl. In your eyes, I am like a slug, clinging to Xiao Gu, right?"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "I don't think so. I know very well that without you, I would lose my husband and my daughter would lose her father. Just for this reason, I will be forever grateful to you."

Lan Jinghao looked at her and said, "If you really want to thank me, please return Xiao Gu to me."

"I told you, he's not yours." Gu Mian smiled faintly, "Since everything is clear between you two, it also means that there is absolutely no possibility between you two."

Lan Jinghao looked at her unwillingly, "Is it possible that you don't have the final say?"

"It's not me who has the final say, is it you who has the final say?" Gu Mian leaned back in his chair and looked at her stubborn face. "You just said, 'Retreat to advance?'"

"That's a good word. If I really took a step back to advance, then I can only say that you have learned it very well."

Lan Jing frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Do I need to explain it so clearly?" Gu Mian smiled faintly, "When you left a letter and ran away, wasn't that a retreat to advance?"

"Heh..." Lan Jinghao laughed out loud, "Do you think I was pretending when I left a letter and ran away?"

"Of course not."

"So you're saying I'm taking a step back to advance?"

"I'm saying that you're pretending, but it's certainly not about this."

Lan Jinghao looked unhappy, "What am I pretending for?"

Gu Mian shook his head helplessly, "You don't think that I'm so incompetent that I can't figure out your little tricks, do you? Do you need me to find the two men who tried to rape you in the hotel and confront them face to face?"

Lan Jinghao's face suddenly turned pale!

"What do you mean by that?" Lan Jinghao tried to remain calm. "Aren't those two people in jail?"

"Who told you that you can't come out to confront someone if you're in jail?"

"...Why do you want them to confront me?" Lan Jinghao burst into tears, "I was almost raped and I've been seriously injured. Do you want to rub salt into my wounds?"

"Or do you want to bring this up again, repeatedly telling Xiao Gu that I was seen naked, so that he will dislike me?"

"Miss Lan, I don't mean to belittle you. It's just that after the incident, I was very curious about how two habitual thieves could suddenly get horny and rape you."

"Although there is no coincidence in the world, you appeared in the imperial capital with Ting Shen after all. It is not impossible that someone is secretly targeting you and wants to use you to harm Ting Shen, so of course I have to investigate it thoroughly."

"Although the two criminals were already in the detention center, I still secretly got them out and interrogated them using my own methods. Guess what they said?"

Lan Jing stared at her closely, "What?"

"They said it was not a crime of passion, they were drunk and wanted to rape you, but someone paid them to pretend to rape you."

"How is that possible!" Lan Jinghao denied, "They were very ruthless to me back then!"

"Of course you have to act realistically so that the audience will believe you." Gu Mian smiled, "I have to say, your acting is very good. Even I almost believed it."

"You're not going to say that I paid those two men to pretend to rape me, are you?" Lan Jing was furious. "Am I sick? Or are you so full that you want to be kissed and touched by two strange men, and not only do you want to be seen naked, but you also want to be slapped?"

"Because only in this way will your little Gu feel sorry for you." Gu Mian directly exposed, "After what happened to you, we can't let you leave alone, so we naturally have to take you back from that shabby little hotel. This is your way of retreating to advance."

"I didn't!" Lan Jinghao denied it flatly. "Not to mention the huge damage this incident has caused me, even if I really went crazy and did this, where would I get the money?"

"Rape is punishable by prison, so they must be willing to agree to it if they pay a lot of money, right? All my belongings only add up to two or three thousand yuan, how can I bribe them?"

"You can deny it, because you were not directly involved. You can't pay for it, so naturally someone will help you."

Lan Jinghao laughed directly, "I have no relatives or friends in the capital, I only know Xiao Gu, will Xiao Gu give me money to do this?"

Gu Mian looked at her, his delicate features becoming more serious. "Ms. Lan, I'll give you one last chance. If you admit it now, I can forgive you for what happened in the past."

"How can I admit to something I didn't do?" Lan Jinghao cried, "Ms. Gu, you are so vicious. You actually put such a thing on me."

"I know you've always wanted to drive me away so that you can monopolize Xiao Gu. You can say it clearly, but a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. You are humiliating me!"

Gu Mian smiled and shook his head, then took out his cell phone and clicked on a video.

Lan Jinghao took a closer look, and the next second, her face changed drastically, "This... How is it possible!"

"You mean, how could a deleted video appear in my place, right?" Gu Mian curled his lips, "You asked hackers to delete the video, but you didn't know that MS Group has the world's top hackers. It's easy to recover the deleted video."

"How do you know how to check surveillance?" Lan Jinghao frowned, "You're watching my every move?"

"Since the hotel incident was a setup, I had to find out who was behind it. That's how I discovered these two surveillance videos."

In the video, Gu Xing and Lan Jinghao met at the elevator door. They said something to each other and entered the elevator together.

In another video, Lan Jinghao followed Gu Xing into her ward and came out more than an hour later.

Gu Mian said coldly, "Ms. Lan, I believe you are innocent, otherwise you would not easily leave Gu Xing whom you just met for the first time."

"But you are too naive and stupid. You just believe whatever Gu Xing says. You actually try to use this method to make Xiao Gu feel sorry for you and keep you by his side?"

Lan Jinghao's face color changed from blue to white, which was very interesting.

Gu Mian continued, "Ms. Lan, before you cooperated with Gu Xing, didn't you find out who she was? If she wasn't my cousin, Ting Shen wouldn't even know who she was."

"She has never caught Ting Shen's eye, but you tried to cooperate with her to win his heart?"

"Don't you think about it? Once the truth comes out, with Li Tingshen's insight, will he admire your deep affection or despise your lowly and unpresentable means?"
