Chapter 379 Wife, I'm Sorry

Ye Junlin panicked and turned around quickly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mian asked.

"Nothing, I forgot to take something, so I'm going home first."

Ye Junlin got out of the car and returned to the master bedroom. He took out his cell phone and called Li Tingshen.

"You're at home?"

"Um."

"Mianmian wants to go see her mother. I saw your car parked at the door and turned back. You leave first and we will go over later."

"good."

Ye Junlin hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Gu Mian standing at the door, staring at him.

Ye Junlin felt inexplicably guilty, "Mianmian, how did you catch up with me?"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "I forgot to take something too."

"Have you got it?"

"I got it."

"Let's go, then."

When I came to Li's house again, Li Tingshen's car was gone.

Ye Junlin brought Gu Mian into the house. The teacup in the old lady's hand fell to the ground. Looking at Gu Mian, tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Ye Junlin introduced, "Mianmian, this is old lady Li, call me grandma."

"grandmother."

"Mian girl, you are finally home..."

"Grandma, let's go see Mom."

"Your mother is in Nian Nian's room. Mian Yatou and Nian Nian are not here, so she can only organize Nian Nian's clothes every day."

Gu Mian went upstairs and found Lin Jinshu in Nian Nian's room.

She sat on the bed, quietly arranging Nian Nian's clothes.

Gu Mian walked forward and squatted in front of her.

When their eyes met, Lin Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hand and gently stroked Gu Mian's face.

"Baby, you're back..."

"Well, I'm back." Gu Mian hugged her, tears streaming down his face, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Don't cry!" Lin Jinshu hurriedly comforted, "Baby, don't cry, mommy will protect you..."

"Um......"

Ye Junlin stood at the door, his eyes couldn't help but redden.

The mother became insane because her daughter was missing.

Although he is not a woman, he can understand what Gu Mian said. For most mothers, their children are their life.

So what exactly does Xinxin mean to Xu Yihan?

Ye Junlin took out his cell phone and looked at the conversation box on WeChat that had no reply. His face suddenly darkened.

He made a phone call.

"Send more people, dig deep, and find Xu Yihan for me!"

......

We had lunch at Li's house.

Madam Li was reluctant to take care of Mian. During the meal, she couldn't help but say, "Mian girl, you and Nian Nian should go home and live. This way it will be more convenient for you to take care of Xin Xin and your mother."

I originally thought that the old lady would refuse, but unexpectedly, Gu Mian agreed directly.

"good."

"Really?" The old lady was flattered. "Although you are not at home, the master bedroom is cleaned every day, so you can move in directly."

"Thank you, grandma."

Ye Junlin looked at Gu Mian with a slightly frown on his face.

For some reason, he always felt that his sleep patterns these past two days were a little abnormal.

I couldn't tell what was wrong, but I just felt like she was a little different.

But Ye Junlin did not object. Living in Yunyue Bay was more convenient and safer.

After lunch, Ye Junlin went to work.

On the way, Ye Junlin called, "How was your sleep?"

"Grandma asked her to go home and live with her, and she didn't refuse."

"How come?"

"I also find it strange. Given her personality, she must want to end it all with you. After all, she was asking you when you could get a divorce certificate with her a few days ago. Why would she move back to your wedding house?"

Li Ting was thoughtful.

"Ting Shen, don't worry. I think Mian Mian is in good condition. There are so many people at home, they will take good care of her and Nian Nian."

"I know." Li Ting paused for a moment, "Thank you for your hard work."

Everything was complete at home, so I didn't have to go back to the villa to clean up after taking a nap, but I still went out in the afternoon after Nian Nian took a nap.

The bodyguards who followed her soon discovered that she did not return to the villa, but went to the Chinese medicine clinic.

"Mianmian?" Mr. Lu Lang was very surprised to see Gu Mian. "Why are you here? Come and sit down."

Gu Mian closed the door and sat down on the sofa.

"Drink some water." Mr. Lu Lang saw that she looked unhappy and asked, "Why did you come alone? Isn't Jun Lin with you?"

"Why?" Gu Mian slowly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of pain, "Why did you help Gu Xingzhi to harm me and Ting Shen?"

Mr. Lu Lang was startled. "Mianmian, what are you talking about? How could the master possibly harm you?"

Gu Mian pursed his lips and said, "My mother gave me the medicine to restore my memory. I threw it away, but later I regretted it and picked it up from the trash can because I was thinking that maybe there are many things that I can only figure out if I restore my memory."

Mr. Lu Lang was surprised, "So you have recovered your memory..."

"Yes." Gu Mian tried hard to hold back tears. "I originally thought that after I regained my memory, I would be devastated by Li Tingshen's betrayal. However, I didn't expect that the person who actually betrayed me was not Li Tingshen, but my master whom I had always regarded as a father..."

"Mianmian, how can you be sure that I betrayed you?" Mr. Lu Lang was puzzled. "What did I do to make you doubt me so much?"

"The insects on my body were planted by Gu Xingzhi. What about the ones on Ting Shen?" Gu Mian spoke slowly with a trembling voice, "Ting Shen has always been very defensive. He only lets down his guard against those close to him. I checked everyone around us, and you are more suspicious than anyone else."

"Besides, the amnesia drug developed by my godmother is only available here. Neither the Chinese medicine clinic nor your home is a place where outsiders can steal at will. How could Gu Xingzhi get this drug so easily? The only explanation is that you took the initiative to give it to him..."

"Combining these two points, I recalled the past. The way you looked at Gu Xingzhi at first seemed a little different. It seemed to carry a hint of heartache, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I thought you felt sorry for his tragic experience in northern Myanmar."

"But now that I think about it, everything is wrong. You didn't get to know Gu Xingzhi through me. You knew him a long time ago, right?"

Mr. Lu Lang drank his tea calmly without saying a word.

Gu Mian looked at him sadly, "Master, you don't have to keep it a secret anymore, because I don't want to hand you over to Ting Shen. With his methods, your body can't bear it."

"Mianmian, you think of me as your father, and I think of you as my own daughter." Mr. Lu Lang smiled bitterly, "Please believe me, your master has never thought of hurting you..."

"Really?" Gu Mian could no longer control himself, tears streaming down his face, and asked, "You don't want to hurt me, so where does the pain I'm enduring come from?"

Mr. Lu Lang burst into tears, "Xingzhi...he loves you too much, he just wants to get you, I can't refuse his request..."

"He doesn't love me, he loves himself!" Gu Mian broke down and cried out, "Master, you have lived to this age and have seen everything. How come you can't see through his lies?"

"I'm sorry..." Mr. Lu Lang covered his face with his hands and burst into tears, "Seeing you in so much pain, I'm also very sad. This matter has made me breathless. I haven't been able to sleep well for a single day..."

Gu Mian finally calmed himself down, wiped the tears from his face, and said, "What is the origin of your relationship with Gu Xingzhi? Why did you help him do such a heinous thing?"

Mr. Lu Lang shook his head, "Mianmian, can you please stop asking?"

"Why not ask?" Gu Mian sneered, "Ting Shen and I have been harmed by you, why shouldn't I ask!"

"Don't be angry." Mr. Lu Lang said painfully, "I just said it..."

"Master never got married and had no children in his life. That was because he met someone too amazing when he was young."

Gu Mian frowned and quickly thought of something, "The person you are talking about... is Gu Wanrou, right?"

"Yes." Mr. Lu Lang recalled the past with a smile on his face. "It was not long after I finished my medical studies. I followed my master to become a traveling doctor to hone my medical skills. It was at that time that I met Gu Wanrou."

"It's just a pity that I had feelings for her, but she didn't care about me. This incident was a big blow to me. Since then, I have never seen her again..."

"When I first met Xingzhi, I guessed his identity from his face which was somewhat similar to Gu Wanrou's, but I didn't expect that he was actually the son of Gu Wanrou and Li Hongxuan."

"Xingzhi was very smart. He saw the clues in my eyes. I did not hide it from him. At the same time, I also learned from him what happened to her mother."

"I didn't expect Wanrou to have gone through so much pain. Xingzhi was also a miserable child. I thought about avenging Wanrou, but Xingzhi stopped me. He said I had no obligation to do this for his mother. Moreover, you are my apprentice. It would be difficult for you to be caught in the middle of my hurting the Li family."

"At that time, I thought that he was just like Wanrou, an extremely sensible and kind person. I secretly vowed in my heart that I would love him as my own child. But later, everything got out of control..."

Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "Later, Gu Xingzhi's true nature was exposed. Because of Gu Wanrou, you loved her and didn't reject his request. You chose to stand on his side and deal with me and Tingshen, right?"

Mr. Lu Lang did not deny it, but emphasized, "He promised me that no matter what happens, he will not hurt you..."

"Master, you already know what kind of person he is, how can you believe such words?" Gu Mian was extremely sad. "After all, my importance in your heart is not as important as that of Bai Yueguang's son whom you love but cannot have."

She had nothing to say about being harmed by outsiders.

But the person who stabbed her in the back was the man she regarded as her biological father, the man she had always considered a relative, which was why she found it so difficult to accept.

"Mianmian, I know you won't believe Master's words anymore, but Master didn't lie to you. In Master's heart, he always treats you two as his own children." Mr. Lu Lang looked at her sadly, "I really hope Xingzhi can let go of his hatred and get along with you like brother and sister, but he is too stubborn."

"You know he is stubborn and has taken the wrong path, but you still help him go further and further down this path?"

"Xingzhi told me that his mother was filled with hatred and that Wanrou died with her eyes open. I..." Mr. Lu Lang burst into tears, "I really can't ignore the suffering of the mother and son..."

"Li Hongxuan is dead, Liu Qingyu is dead too, Aunt Gu should rest in peace. But after the two people who harmed her died, Gu Xingzhi still refused to let Ting Shen go!" Gu Mian questioned, "Why did they take revenge on Ting Shen for the grudges of the previous generation? Ting Shen is innocent, and so am I!"

"But Gu Xingzhi just won't let me and Tingshen go, and you, who can clearly tell right from wrong, still help him do evil!"

"I'm sorry, Mianmian, I'm really sorry..." Mr. Lu Lang burst into tears, "Before Wanrou passed away, she left me a letter asking me to protect her only son. I couldn't refuse her only request of me in her life..."

Gu Mian was stunned for a moment, then he sneered, "Based on my understanding of Aunt Gu, she didn't ask you for help when she was in the most difficult time. It's impossible for her to entrust you to take care of Gu Xingzhi before her death."

"Handwriting can be imitated, and letters can be made to look old. Given Gu Xingzhi's intelligence and means, this letter that Gu Wanrou wrote to you is most likely a forgery."

Mr. Lu Lang was stunned. "How is it possible..."

"Master, you love Aunt Gu deeply and have never married. Gu Xingzhi can use this to understand your mind because he knows that you are willing to do anything for Gu Wanrou."

Mr. Lu Lang couldn't believe it. "Xingzhi...did he really lie to me?"

Gu Mian did not answer, but asked in return, "Master, if Gu Wanrou really wants you to help Gu Xingzhi do evil, is she still worthy of your love for the rest of your life?"

Mr. Lu Lang's face turned paler.

Gu Mian stood up and spoke word by word, "I've said before, I've always treated you as my father, but I can't allow anyone to hurt Ting Shen, even if it's my father."

"I won't do anything to you, but until everything is over, you should stay in the Chinese medicine clinic and treat people."

After Gu Mian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Mianmian!" Mr. Lu Lang called her, "I'm sorry..."

Gu Mian didn't look back, "Not all apologies can be forgiven."

"Mr. Lu Lang, take care of yourself."

......

Gu Mian walked out of the Chinese medicine clinic. The sky was gloomy and the dark clouds were so low that they seemed to be within reach.

A rainstorm is coming.

"Miss." The bodyguard came forward, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Gu Mian pulled the corner of his lips, "I'm just tired, both physically and mentally exhausted."

"It's going to rain soon, let's go home."

Gu Mian was about to get on the bus when he stopped, as if he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

She raised her eyes and looked to the right, and saw a tall figure standing a hundred meters away.

They were too far away, so Gu Mian couldn't see the emotions in the man's eyes, but she could still sense something.

She couldn't control herself any longer and walked towards him.

But the next second, Li Tingshen stepped back.

The man shook his head slightly.

It was as if there were a thousand-pound weight under Gu Mian's feet, and he could not take another step.

The cell phone rang, Gu Mian looked at the incoming call and picked it up immediately.

"Wife." Li Tingshen's deep and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry..."

Gu Mian shook his head vigorously, "I don't blame you..."

"I haven't touched Lan Jinghao."

"I know." Gu Mian's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, "You just saved me so that I would give up..."
