Chapter 37 Deciding to Leave

Gu Mian pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Li Tingshen immediately stood up and left.

"Mian girl, don't be angry." Madam Li comforted her, "I will talk to Ting Shen later."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Grandma, no need. Don't ruin the harmony between you and your grandchildren because of me."

Madam Li really loves her, and she will definitely leave Li Tingshen. Since she is destined to leave, she must not let the relationship between the grandfather and grandson fall out.

"I want to eat something." Li Xingze said loudly, "Sister-in-law, go make me something to eat."

Gu Mian turned his head and looked at him. "It seems that the poisoning last time damaged your hippocampus."

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to have forgotten that I told you that was the last time I cooked for you."

"You..." Li Xingze was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Gu Mian ignored him and said, "Grandma, I'm going back to my room first."

"Go ahead."

......

Gu Mian went back to his room and slept for half an hour, then got up to prepare afternoon tea for the old lady.

"Madam," Zhang walked into the kitchen and asked respectfully, "Do you need any help?"

"No, I can do this little job myself."

"Madam, you are filial, otherwise you wouldn't have to do these things yourself." Aunt Zhang said, "By the way, before the eldest master left, he told me that you were going to move back to the old house and asked me to go to Yunyue Bay to help you pack your things."

Gu Mian frowned slightly.

"Madam, I dare not disobey the orders of the Young Master. I will go over there in a moment. If you need anything, you can tell me."

Gu Mian said, "Just pack up a little and come over."

"That's right. We don't lack anything at home. The old lady will be very happy that you have moved back."

Gu Mian didn't say much. He prepared afternoon tea and sent it to the old lady's room. "Grandma."

"Mian girl, are you here? Come and sit down."

"This is the cake I made for you, try it."

"It's been a while since I've tasted your cooking. Grandma must eat it all." The old lady said, "Let's eat together."

"good."

Gu Mian took a sip of warm water and said, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"I want to divorce Ting Shen."

The old lady paused while holding the cake, then asked with a smile, "Have you decided?"

Gu Mian nodded.

"What about the baby in your belly? Are you going to let him be born without a father?"

Gu Mian was not surprised. "You really knew it a long time ago."

"I arranged for Mother Yang to come and look after you, so naturally she would tell me everything, especially something as important as this. She wouldn't dare to hide it."

Gu Mian lowered his eyes and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I let you down."

"You have never let grandma down." The old lady put down the cake in her hand, came to sit beside her, and held her hand. "Grandma knows your temper. It is very difficult and painful for you to make this decision."

Gu Mian tried hard to hold back tears and choked up, "Grandma, I know that my decision is unfair to the child, but I can't let the child die because of Yin Luoxue. I think, it's better to have no father than to have a father who didn't let him come into this world, right?"

Madam Li felt very distressed, "Grandma understands you."

Gu Mian could no longer control himself, tears welled up in his eyes, "So grandma, I must divorce Ting Shen, stay away from the imperial capital, give birth to this child, and raise him well."

"Since you have made up your mind, grandma respects you." The old lady held her hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, grandma will protect you and will never let anything happen to you and the child."

"Thank you, grandma." Gu Mian was both touched and sad. "I'm just sorry that this child is destined not to be in your arms. But I think that when Yin Luoxue marries Ting Shen and gives birth to a child, you will definitely have four generations living under one roof and enjoy the happiness of a happy family."

"In grandma's heart, you are the only granddaughter-in-law." The old lady stood up and took out a bank card. "This is what I prepared for the child. You have never been extravagant and wasteful. The money in this card is enough for you and your son to use for a lifetime."

"Grandma, I can't accept it." Gu Mian refused, "You have to believe me, I can support myself and the child."

"Grandma, of course, believes that you have the ability to do this, and I also know that you don't want to take a penny from the Li family, but this money is my private savings and has nothing to do with the Li family. Grandma has said that she will take good care of you on behalf of your grandmother. You can't refuse this kindness, otherwise grandma will be sad."

Gu Mian had no choice but to accept it and said, "I will save this money for my children."

"I give you money not for you to save, but for you to spend. Don't save, spend when you need to. When you decide where to settle down, buy a bigger house there and hire a nanny to take care of you. Grandma will visit you often."

"Thank you, grandma." Gu Mian wiped his tears, "Grandma, I have something else I want to ask you for help with."

"You say."

"In this world, my only blood relative is my uncle, and I don't want him to be embarrassed by Ting Shen because of me."

"Grandma understands." The old lady nodded, "Don't worry, grandma won't let Tingshen embarrass him, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, grandma."

"What are your plans now?"

Gu Mian said, "Ting Shen will definitely not agree to a divorce, but my belly is getting bigger and bigger, so I have to get a divorce, so I decided to leave the capital as soon as possible to avoid him. After I leave, I will ask grandma to help me persuade him to sign the divorce agreement."

"Okay, grandma will help you." The old lady asked, "When are you going to leave?"

"I need to prepare, just in a few days."

......

Li Ting worked overtime late at night and didn't get home until after eleven o'clock at night.

Gu Mian had already fallen asleep, and only a bedside lamp was on in the room.

Li Tingshen didn't wake her up. He went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After lying down on the bed, he hugged her from behind.

The man's hand went straight into her pajamas, "Mrs. Li, there's no point in pretending to be asleep."

Gu Mian held her hand, "I feel a little uncomfortable today..."

Li Ting chuckled, "Do you think I will believe it?"

He forced Gu Mian to turn over and kissed her lips.

Gu Mian neither complied nor resisted, but just frowned, looking uncomfortable.

Li Tingshen kissed her while reaching down. The next second, his brows furrowed, "Are you having your period?"

"Um."

The man obviously didn't believe it. "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

Her face was pale, and it didn't seem fake.

Li Tingshen didn't continue, "Do you want to call a doctor?"

In the past, she would have stomach pain every time she had her period. When it was serious, the pain was so severe that she couldn't get out of bed and kept sweating.

"I just took painkillers."

"Then go to sleep."

"Um."

Gu Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time she deceived Li Tingshen. In order to make him believe her, she even put on a white foundation to make her complexion look paler.

Fortunately, I managed to fool it.

......

The next morning, Gu Mian received a call from Pei Jinchuan, "Gu Mian, Xiaobao might have been frightened and didn't recognize the person who locked him in the greenhouse yesterday."
