Chapter 358: Die Early and Be Reborn Early
husband?
Could it be Li Tingshen?
Gu Mian thought about it and couldn't help but feel that his doubts were a little ridiculous.
If it’s not Li Tingshen, then could it be any other man?
But she was very surprised why Li Tingshen called her suddenly.
Gu Mian cleared his throat and answered the phone. "Hello?"
There was no movement on the other end of the phone for a long while before a man's deep voice came, "Gusleep?"
"...What else?"
"It's all right."
Before Gu Mian could ask clearly, the call was hung up.
Gu Mian: “......???”
What's wrong?
In the other room, Li Ting stared at his phone, deep in thought.
He just got his cell phone and wants to calm down and learn everything about himself.
After opening the address book, I found that all the names were full names with notes, except for the first one, which had the note "A".
He is very curious.
So I called to find out who this was.
He was a little surprised when he heard the sound of Gu Hypnosis, but it seemed reasonable.
Li Ting leaned deep into the sofa, closed his eyes, and blocked all thoughts in his eyes...
......
Ye Junlin told the program his guess and asked him to investigate.
"Mr. Ye doesn't know this," the programmer reported. "In fact, my wife had already guessed this. She also felt that since Mr. Li was still alive, there was a chance that Gu Xingzhi, whose body had not been found, was still alive."
"So my wife has long asked us to pay more attention. I have negotiated with the police and listed Gu Xingzhi as a wanted criminal, so that it will be convenient to get news about him as soon as possible."
"But so far, I have not received any notification from the police, so there should be no news about Gu Xingzhi."
Ye Junlin said, "Gu Xingzhi is so smart, he must know that we have not let up and have been looking for him. So even if he comes back, he must be hiding in the dark. It is impossible for him to show up in the open and let us find him."
"So what Mr. Ye meant is that there is a high possibility that Gu Xingzhi will come back."
"Yes, Xu Yihan's unintentional analysis suddenly reminded me of him. Among those who really want to harm Mianmian, who would not want to kill her but want to make her lose her memory?"
The programmer nodded. "Ms. Xu is very smart and considerate."
Ye Junlin disagreed, "We are just too concerned and confused, she is just calmer than us."
The programmer immediately said, "Ms. Xu is a good friend of Madam, and she cares about Madam very much."
"Let's not talk about her anymore." Ye Junlin said, "Is Aunt Lu working hard on the antidote?"
“It’s already underway.”
"That's good. Right now, there are only three things to do: find the person behind the scenes, protect Ting Shen and Mian Mian, and manage the MS Group. These three things all require your assistance. Thank you for your hard work."
The programmer nodded and said, "Mr. Ye, you are too polite. These are what I should do. The one who has worked the hardest is you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Junlin smiled, "Mianmian is my sister, and I am happy to work hard for her...By the way, how is the investigation of Gu Zhiyuan's new wife going?"
"Boss Ye, we've investigated her, and she's not suspicious," the programmer reported. "She used to work as a waitress in Mr. Gu's hot pot restaurant. She was hardworking and dedicated."
"The relationship with Mr. Gu also started after his divorce. Wang Shulan is a tigress. If Mr. Gu had an affair with another woman during his marriage, she would have skinned him alive."
"That's good." Ye Junlin breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't want this matter to be related to the Gu family. After all, Mianmian values the Gu family very much."
......
At dinner time, Zhang's mother knocked on the door and said, "Madam, it's time for dinner."
"I'm coming." Gu Mian put away his phone, stood up and walked out of the room.
In the restaurant, Li Tingshen was already sitting at the dining table.
Gu Mian's steps were slightly startled.
"Madam, please come in. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."
Gu Mian calmed down, walked over with Zhang's mother, and sat down opposite Li Tingshen.
Aunt Zhang served Gu Mian a bowl of soup. "This old duck soup is both heat-clearing and nourishing. The old lady specially asked me to prepare it for you. Come and try it."
"Thank you." Gu Mian took a sip and said, "It tastes great."
"As long as you like it." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Then you and the young master can enjoy it slowly. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, Zhang's mother left.
Gu Mian raised his eyes and glanced at the man opposite him who was concentrating on eating. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he remained silent.
The atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant, and the restaurant was so quiet that one could hear the sound of chopsticks colliding.
Although Li Tingshen did not go to see her, all that came to his mind were the WeChat chat records between them.
He spent the whole afternoon reading their chat records.
Very long, because they chat almost every day.
Although they were talking about trivial things, even meaningless things, there was sweetness between the lines.
He was sure that Cheng Xu had not lied to him and that he and Gu Mian did have a very good relationship.
Li Tingshen couldn't help but look up and glanced at the quiet and well-behaved woman opposite him.
She ate in a dignified and graceful manner, with an elegance in her bones that was pleasing to the eye.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, Gu Mian suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.
Eyes met.
Gu Mian was quite embarrassed, "What's wrong?"
Li Ting paused for a moment and said, "Nothing."
"Oh." Gu Mian felt that this person was puzzled. "You called me at that time. What's the matter?"
"It's OK."
"......oh."
Gu Mian was speechless. He looked away and continued to eat his meal.
She finished eating first, stood up and said, "I'm full, enjoy your meal."
Just as I turned around to leave, I suddenly heard a man's deep and pleasant voice from behind, "Gu Mian, can we talk?"
Gu Mian looked at him, "What are you talking about?"
"...I don't know either, but I feel like we should talk about our relationship."
Gu Mian: "......"
"Since you don't know, don't waste your time." Gu Mian refused directly, "Our current relationship is at most roommates living under the same roof. There's no need to force a conversation. Take your time."
Li Tingshen: "......"
Just as he was about to speak, Gu Mian left.
Li Tingshen slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
Gu Mian returned to his room and paced back and forth angrily.
Fortunately, I had already eaten, otherwise, I would have been furious with Li Ting!
She took a deep breath, took out her cell phone, and diverted her attention.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang's mother's voice came, "Madam, I brought the clothes you wanted to wear. Can you come in?"
"Come in."
Mother Zhang came in pushing a large suitcase. "These are all the clothes you usually wear. I packed a little and came over."
"Let me do it." Gu Mian got up and went over to hang the clothes in the closet. "Mrs. Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
"You're too polite, Madam. This is all my job." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Do you like dinner?"
"Very good." Gu Mian asked, "Do I have to eat with Li Tingshen from now on?"
Aunt Zhang was surprised. "Why, don't you want to have dinner with the young master?"
"I'm not used to eating with strangers. It feels weird."
Zhang's mother laughed, "Madam, you two used to be inseparable. You wanted to stick together 24 hours a day."
"Is this true?" Gu Mian was very skeptical. "Am I asking for trouble by sticking with him?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise Mr. Ye wouldn't let you live together." Zhang's mother explained, "In fact, I also found that the eldest master is now very cold, but this is not surprising, he has always been like this."
"It's because after marrying you and falling in love with you, he treats you and you alone differently."
Gu Mian paused as he was hanging clothes. "Really? He treats me differently?"
"Of course it's true." Zhang's mother asked, "Didn't you check your phone? You should be able to see something in it."
"I was busy playing games and haven't started watching yet."
Zhang's mother: "......"
"Madam, you can let yourself go now. Eating junk food and playing games are things you would never do before."
"Really?" Gu Mian was surprised. "Wasn't my life boring before? Was I a boring person before? Was it that apart from being good-looking, I had no interest at all?"
She looked in the mirror and, without exaggeration, she was indeed pretty.
At least it fits her own aesthetic.
Mother Zhang thought seriously and said, "Madam, you are usually a very serious person. Your hobbies are reading and studying, exercising, and you live a healthy life without any bad habits."
"But we are very relaxed and happy with you. As for whether you are interested or not, we have not had much contact with you, and the eldest master has the most say." Aunt Zhang smiled and joked, "Why don't you ask the eldest master?"
Gu Mian: "......"
"How should I ask? Knock on his door and ask him, Li Tingshen, am I interesting? He will kick me out like a lunatic."
Mother Zhang laughed out loud, "Madam, you look so adorable now."
Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, "Was I not lovable before?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course."
Mother Zhang recalled, "In the beginning, you were hired by the Li family to take care of the lady... and also the caregiver of the young master's mother."
"Madam is paralyzed in bed and has a bad temper. You are a nurse and you must have suffered a lot from her."
"But you have a good temper. Madam has changed dozens of nurses, but none of them could stand her. They would leave even if the salary was higher."
"You stayed because your grandmother was ill and short of money. You were willing to endure any hardship and grievance."
"And you have a kind heart. Although the lady has scolded you a lot, you have always been very careful in taking care of her, unlike other people who are a little lazy in secret."
"The old lady fell in love with you at first sight and liked you very much. She originally wanted to keep you by her side and support you in further studies instead of letting you continue to work as a caregiver."
"But I didn't expect that something happened to the eldest young master, and you became the eldest young lady by accident. Now the old lady is even happier, because the girl she liked has become her grandson's wife!"
"Didn't Li Tingshen and I get married because we loved each other?" Gu Mian was surprised. "You just said that I became the eldest lady by accident. What's going on?"
"It was like this. The eldest master was in a car accident and became a vegetable. He needed to find a girl with a suitable horoscope to marry him as a surprise."
Gu Mian was stunned. "My horoscope is just right, so I will marry him, right?"
"Yes."
"Why would I agree to marry a vegetative person?" Gu Mian asked, "Are there any conditions?"
Zhang's mother sensed that Gu Mian's expression was not right, but she still answered truthfully, "... at that time, your grandmother was ill and needed treatment at a hospital under the Li Group."
"Why would I marry someone for this?" Gu Mian was shocked. "Isn't my brother very rich?"
"You were separated from the Ye family for many years, and you only found them and got to know each other last year."
Gu Mian was lost, "So in order to treat my grandma, I married a vegetative person, right?"
"......Madam, after the wedding, the young master woke up very quickly."
"I understand." Gu Mian curled his lips, "You don't need to take care of this place anymore, go back and have a rest."
......
As Zhang's mother walked away, she looked back every few steps.
She always felt that she had said something wrong.
Because Gu Mian was sitting on the sofa in a daze at the moment, not saying a word and looking unhappy.
After closing the door, Mrs. Zhang immediately took out her cell phone and called Ye Junlin.
When Gu Mian came to his senses, he found that it was already dark outside.
There was no light on in the room, only the light coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the general outline of the room.
Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips, took out his cell phone and continued playing games.
I don’t know how long it was, but there was a knock on the door.
Gu Mian got up to open the door and saw Li Tingshen standing outside.
"What's up?"
"Mrs. Zhang cut the fruit plate and asked me to bring it to you."
"No."
Just as Gu Mian was about to close the door, it was suddenly blocked by someone.
Gu Mian raised his eyes and looked at the unhappy man with an inquiring look.
Li Ting frowned slightly, "I'm so kind to prepare fruit for you, and you're just rejecting me like this?"
Gu Mian was confused. "I don't want to eat, but I can't refuse?"
Li Tingshen didn't know what was wrong with him.
Mrs. Zhang is a maid, and preparing fruit is her job.
Gu Mian is a young lady, so it’s no problem if she doesn’t want to eat.
But he felt uncomfortable when he saw Gu Mian's distant attitude towards him.
Was she rejecting Zhang's mother or him?
"Gu Mian, are you being naughty with me?"
Gu Mian was even more confused, "Mr. Li, which eye of yours saw me being petty?"
Li Tingshen handed her the fruit plate and said, "Here, don't make me say it for the third time."
Gu Mian also lost his temper and raised his hand to push it away, "I said I don't want to eat, so I don't want to eat!"
The next second, with a "clang" sound, the fruit plate in Li Tingshen's hand fell to the ground.
The coldness between the man's eyebrows became even stronger!
Gu Mian looked at him unyieldingly, "Mr. Li, although I am just a bride-to-be, you can't be too chauvinistic."
"You even forced me to eat a plate of fruit. That shows how overbearing you are!"
Li Tingshen: "......"
"What happened?" Zhang's mother heard the sound and rushed over. Looking at the mess on the ground, she asked hurriedly, "How did it break? Did you hurt your hand?"
Gu Mian looked at Zhang's mother and said, "I'm sorry, Zhang's mother. I didn't want to eat the fruit, and I accidentally broke it during the shoving. I'm sorry for your kindness."
"Madam, this is a small matter. As long as your hands are not hurt, it's fine." Aunt Zhang squatted down and said, "I'll clean it up right away."
Gu Mian looked at Li Tingshen again, "It seems that we can't even reach a consensus on such a small matter. It's true that we are not on the same page."
"Anyway, our marriage is not the product of free love, so it's better to die early and be reborn sooner!"
