Chapter 35 Let Me Go

"I don't want to talk to you!" Gu Mian yelled in despair and pushed him away.

This was the first time in three years of marriage that she had never spoken to him so loudly.

She was really in pain.

Her heart felt like it was being torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and the pain was so severe that she almost suffocated.

She has loved him for ten years. Even though she knows that he only has Yin Luoxue in his heart, she still tries hard to be a good wife and tries hard to make him look at her more.

But today, her ten years of love finally got a response.

That was when he personally sentenced her to death.

He said he couldn't protect her or love her.

The faith she had held on to for ten years finally collapsed completely.

Li Tingshen looked at the girl who was crying more and more fiercely, and his heart softened a little, "What happened? Tell me."

"Will it be useful to tell you?" Gu Mian said with a wry smile, "I am not Yin Luoxue, I will not get the slightest favor from you, what's the point of telling you? Ting Shen, if that's the case, why can't you let me go?"

Gu Mian broke down and cried out, "I don't want to be your wife anymore, I beg you to let me go!"

"Let you go? Where do you want to go?" Li Ting held her shoulders tightly, his deep eyes filled with chills. "Are you going to find Pei Jianchuan? You don't want to be Mrs. Li, you want to be Mrs. Pei, huh?"

"Yes!" Gu Mian responded decisively, "As long as I can leave you and stop being a Li wife, I'll do whatever you want, okay?"

"You finally admitted it!" Li Tingshen sneered, "You're so sad just because I took you away from him this morning? No wonder you resisted the whole time when we had sex last night. You don't want to do it with me, do you want to do it with him?"

“Bang!”

There was a crisp sound of slapping, and the room instantly fell into silence.

Gu Mian's fingertips trembled slightly, his palms felt numb, and he stared blankly at the man whose face had been turned away by the blow he had made.

The man touched his face with the tip of his tongue, then turned to look at her. His handsome face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

Li Ting hugged her slender waist tightly and forced Gu Mian to stick close to him.

"It seems that I have been too tolerant of you." Li Ting opened his thin lips and spoke word by word, "From today on, we will move back here, listen to grandma and prepare for pregnancy!"

Gu Mian widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Don't worry, I certainly won't let you get pregnant. Just take the medicine." Li Tingshen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I want to see if you still have the mind to think about other men after I feed you enough, Mrs. Li..."

Gu Mian shuddered violently!

Li Ting raised the corners of his lips slightly and was about to kiss her when there was a knock on the door.

The man's eyes darkened, "Who!"

Aunt Zhang outside the door was startled, "Master, it's me. Madam, please ask Madam to come downstairs."

"Got it." Li Tingshen raised his hand and wiped the tears from Gu Mian's face. "Go wash your face and come downstairs with me. I don't care how reluctant you are. In front of others, you must play the role of Mrs. Li with me."

Gu Mian turned and went into the bathroom, took some water and splashed it on his face, but he couldn't stop crying.

She finally adjusted her mood and went out with Li Tingshen downstairs.

In the living room.

Madam Li and Li Xingze were sitting on the sofa, and Mr. Lu Lang was also there.

"Grandma." Gu Mian greeted with a smile, "Mr. Lu Lang."

The old lady looked at her lovingly and said, "Sit down."

Li Xingze's mouth twitched, "It took you so long to come down, you're so arrogant..."

The sharp old lady glanced at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Li Xingze shut up obediently.

Madam Li looked at Mr. Lu Lang, "Mr. said he came to see Miss Mian today. What's the matter?"

Mr. Lu Lang smiled and said, "I heard that the eldest young lady is looking for a job. I wonder if she is interested in coming to my place."

Gu Mian was pampered and surprised.

"Poof!" Li Xingze spurted out the coffee he had just taken. "Ahem... Mr. Lu Lang, are you kidding me? Letting... my sister-in-law work for you? With her qualifications, how could she possibly work for you? Forget about anything else. She just graduated from college and doesn't even meet the academic requirements."

Mr. Lu Lang is an excellent doctor. All the wealthy families in the capital are vying to invite him to be their family doctor, and the Li family is no exception.

However, he not only serves the wealthy, he also opens a Chinese medicine clinic to treat ordinary people, especially helping the poor and weak who cannot afford medical treatment.

The Chinese Medicine Clinic is crowded every day, but the recruitment requirements are extremely strict.

"Second Young Master, ability and education are not equivalent. I have witnessed the ability of the eldest young lady yesterday, and I really hope she can join." Mr. Lu Lang said sincerely.

"No." Li Xingze said, "You must know her past experience. She has a criminal record. If she goes to work for you, she will be exposed to the public every day, and her identity will be easily exposed. By then, her dark history will be exposed. Not only will the Li family be laughed at, but even Mr. Lu Lang and the reputation of the Chinese Medicine Hall will be affected."

"Mr. Lu Lang is talking to your sister-in-law, do you have the right to interrupt?" The old lady warned, "If you say another word, get out of here and go back to your room."

"Grandma, I'm telling the truth!" Li Xingze said aggrievedly, "Given her current situation, she should just stay at home and avoid causing trouble..."

Gu Mian smiled faintly, "So according to you, I should be locked up in the Li family for the rest of my life, and it would be best if I don't even go out, right?"

Li Xingze raised his chin and looked at her provocatively, "Yes, that's how it should be."

"Okay." Madam Li said, "I have always advocated that women should have their own careers. Mian is smart and clever, and she is also an excellent student in school. It is because she married into the Li family and took care of your brother that she delayed her studies and career. You are so good, not only do you not express your gratitude to her, but you also say such things. Are you still a human being?"

"Grandma, why am I not a person anymore..."

"Mr. Lu Lang." Li Tingshen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "I've already said what happened last night. It was you who saved Xiaobao. My wife had nothing to do with it. Her medical skills are mediocre and she is not suitable to work in your Chinese medicine clinic. Our family doesn't need her to go out to work and earn money."

"Also, my wife and I have been separated for a year. Now that she has finally come home, we want to spend more time together, so she has no plans to go out to work for the time being."

"Is that so..." Mr. Lu Lang looked at Gu Mian subconsciously, and saw that she just lowered her eyes in thought, and sighed in his heart.

When she was giving Xiaobao an injection last night, she was so decisive. How come she has become so clueless today?

However, he had heard a little about Li Tingshen's character and his strong desire for control. He was afraid that it was not easy for Gu Mian to be Li's wife. No wonder she was suppressed to the point that she could not even make decisions on her own affairs.

Thinking of this, Mr. Lu Lang could only speak up, "In that case, I can't force it. I am being rude today. I will take my leave first."

He stood up and looked at Gu Mian, "If the eldest young lady changes her mind, you can come to me anytime."

Gu Mian nodded, "Thank you, sir."

"Stay."

The old lady watched Mr. Lu Lang leave, her face showing relief, "I knew Miss Mian was not one to wait around. She even invited Mr. Lu Lang personally. She's amazing!"

Li Xingze said disdainfully, "Grandma, that's just Mr. Lu Lang trying to maintain a good relationship with our Li family."

"What do you know?"

"Grandma." Gu Mian paused for a moment and said, "Even if I don't go to Mr. Lu Lang's Chinese medicine clinic, I still want to go out and find a job."

"Grandma supports..."

"no."

As soon as Madam Li opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Li Tingshen.

Li Ting looked at Gu Mian with his bottomless eyes, and warned him in a deep voice, "Stay at home and don't ignore my words, or you know the consequences."
