Chapter 380 You are really pitiful

Li Tingshen changed the subject, "Wife, I installed a bug in Lu Lang's office."

"You already suspected him, didn't you?"

"Yes, but there is no evidence. After all, he is your master. It is difficult to reveal your identity without evidence."

"I should be the one to apologize," Gu Mian cried, "I didn't know people well enough and I got you into trouble."

"Silly boy, how can I blame you for this?" Li Ting said with a deep smile, "It's my fault that I failed to protect you and made you suffer."

Gu Mian took a step forward subconsciously, "Ting Shen, I miss you so much..."

"Don't come over here!" Li Tingshen immediately stepped back, "When I beg you..."

Gu Mian stood there, bursting into tears.

"Don't cry." Li Ting said, "Even if I can't get close to you, I have always loved you and will always love you."

"I will find a way." Gu Mian cried, "I will definitely find a way to force the insects out."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to take me home." Li Tingshen said softly, "It's going to rain, you go home first, okay?"

Gu Mian nodded, "Okay..."

......

When Gu Mian returned to Yunyue Bay, heavy rain had already washed over the city.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom, staring at the rain outside in a daze.

"Mianmian."

Ye Junlin knocked on the door and came in. "When did you recover your memory?"

"Just these two days." Gu Mian smiled, "Brother, thank you for always protecting me."

"The one who has been protecting you is Ting Shen. I am just acting with him." Ye Junlin walked to her side. "You are so smart. After you recover your memory, you don't need to ask anything to know what is going on."

"Yes, because I am very sure what kind of person Li Tingshen is, so there is no need to ask." Gu Mian raised his hand to press his heart, "and I know my own body very well."

"Mianmian, did the insects cause any harm to your body?"

Gu Mian shook his head. "Not for now... But Gu Xingzhi is a man who would rather die than live in disgrace. We must find a way to remove the insect as soon as possible."

"I will bring Grandma Song to Yunyue Bay, and together with Aunt Lu and you, the three of you will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

"This is the only way for now." Gu Mian asked, "Where is Gu Xingzhi?"

"In Yuhua Mansion, Ting Shen's people have been keeping an eye on him. Do you want to see him?"

"No." Gu Mian smiled faintly, "I can't wake him up, so why bother making a wasted trip?"

"He is indeed hopelessly bigoted."

Gu Mian sighed and turned to look at Ye Junlin, "Brother, the biggest reason why I want to restore my memory this time is because of you."

"Me?" Ye Junlin was curious, "Why do you say that?"

"With Yihuan gone, Xinxin can't be well taken care of, and your rhythm is messed up, so I'm worried." Gu Mian said truthfully, "But I can't be sure whether Yihuan's departure is a good thing or a bad thing. I can only judge it by recovering my memory."

Ye Junlin frowned, "Mianmian, do you know where Yihuan is?"

"Yes, I know."

Ye Junlin's brows knitted tighter, "Where is she!"

"I tell you, then what?" Gu Mian asked, "You bring her back, scold her for leaving without saying goodbye, and then let her continue to be your nanny and take care of Xinxin?"

"Brother, in my eyes, you are not such a selfish person, but to Yihuan, you are selfish."

"You are kind and tolerant to the servants in your home, but you are harsh to Yihuan."

"Are you feeling sorry for her?"

"As a woman, I do feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her humbleness and her inability to get the love she wants." Gu Mian smiled. "So when she thought it through and decided to give up, I was happy for her and even supported her decision."

Ye Junlin's face turned slightly cold. "Her decision is to not care about Xinxin at all, right?"

"Yihuan loves Xinxin more than anyone else." Gu Mian said, "But she knows very well that you will not allow her to take Xinxin away, so she can only leave with great pain."

"She wants to give you up in her heart first, and then come back to pick you up."

Ye Junlin sneered, "What qualifications does she have to compete with me for Xinxin?"

"Brother, this is not a question of who is qualified, but a question of who Xinxin needs." Gu Mian smiled, "If Jun Lin and I break up, and he wants to snatch Nian Nian from me, you will definitely help me unconditionally because you care about me."

"But when you get to Yi Huan, you won't feel sorry for her. I can understand why you don't feel sorry for her, but you have to feel sorry for Xin Xin."

"You mean, for Xinxin's sake, I have to give her to Xu Yihan?"

"You can't give Xinxin a healthy family anymore. You can't even deprive Xinxin of her mother's love." Gu Mian looked at her, "Brother, considering that Yihuan has worked hard to love you for so many years, fulfill her wish. It will also fulfill yourself, right?"

Ye Junlin didn't say anything, but his handsome face was extremely tense.

Gu Mian held his arm, "If you don't love Ye Huan, you should help her, unless you have already fallen in love with her but you don't know it, or you don't dare to face your own heart..."

"Mianmian, you don't need to use provocation." Ye Junlin smiled faintly, "You are right, Xinxin needs her mother more than me. For the sake of the child, I should let her stay with her mother."

"But you have to know that Grandpa will not allow the children of the Ye family to wander around."

"I will go and talk to Grandpa." Gu Mian said, "As her aunt, I will not allow Xinxin to leave the capital, so I will let Yihuan come back, and they will live in the capital, ensuring that Grandpa can see Xinxin anytime."

"If Grandpa has no objection, I would love it. After all, he dreams of me marrying Xu Yihan."

Gu Mian nodded, "I believe Grandpa will agree. After all, what he wants is not for you to marry Yihuan, but for you to be happy."

......

When Mr. Ye learned that Gu Mian had recovered his memory, he was so happy that he burst into tears.

Gu Mian talked to him for a long time, but in the end, Mr. Ye just waved his hand.

"Mianmian, I understand. Your brother and Yihuan are both adults and can decide their own feelings. Grandpa shouldn't have interfered."

"The reason I made the decision for them and wanted them to get married was because I was afraid that your brother didn't know how to cherish Yihuan."

"Now that they are parents, they naturally know how to make trade-offs. If they really can't be together, it can only be said that they are not destined to be together. So how can Grandpa continue to force it?"

"Grandpa, I knew you were a reasonable person." Gu Mian smiled, "Yi Huan has always been very grateful to you. She will still be your relative in the future."

"Let Yihuan come back." Grandpa Ye said, "I can imagine how much she misses Xinxin. I will prepare a house for her so that she and her daughter can live well together."

"Um."

Xu Yihan has been living in Gu Mian's old house in Haicheng and rarely goes out.

After receiving Gu Mian's call, she returned to the imperial capital immediately to see her daughter whom she had been thinking about day and night.

She hugged Xinxin, knelt in front of Master Ye, and cried inconsolably.

"Child, get up quickly." Grandpa Ye helped her up. "It's true that Xinxin is your only blood relative in this world, but you must remember that grandpa will always be your family."

"Thank you, Grandpa..."

"Xinxin is yours. No one will ever snatch her from you. Bring her home to see Grandpa more often when you have time."

"I will."

"Good boy."

Gu Mian stood aside and smiled knowingly.

She suddenly sensed something out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the second floor.

A figure turned and disappeared over the railing.

Gu Mian shook his head helplessly and looked away.

......

Although Grandpa Ye prepared a house for them, Gu Mian was worried that Gu Xingzhi would take advantage of them during this special period, so he did not let them move out of Yunyue Bay.

But it was obviously inappropriate for them to continue living in the Ye family, so he let them live in his own home first.

Xu Yihan looked at Xinxin, who had lost weight, and tears kept flowing. "I'm sorry, Xinxin. Mommy is sorry..."

Gu Mian patted her shoulder and soothed her, "Yihuan, I told you that you must first be yourself. Now you are no longer Ye Junlin's appendage, you are just Xu Yihuan, Xinxin's mother."

"So I believe that a short separation is worth it."

Xu Yihan nodded vigorously, "I will never leave Xinxin again...Mianmian, I'm sorry, I have implicated you."

Gu Mian smiled calmly, "Recovering my memory is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you, and I don't regret it."

"In fact, I have always wanted to tell you the truth, but I didn't dare." Xu Yihan said, "At that time, President Li tried his best to save your life. Everything had to be done by Gu Xingzhi. Everyone had to be led by him."

"I don't blame you. Each of us is pushed forward by fate, so let's not talk about this." Gu Mian asked, "Have you thought about your career plans these days?"

"Mianmian, I have to take care of Xinxin, so it may not be convenient for me to go to work, so I want to choose a job with more freedom." Xu Yihan said, "I have been thinking about it these days, and the only thing I am good at is probably embroidery."

"Embroidery is great. It can not only make a living, but also promote intangible cultural heritage." Gu Mian agreed. "I will definitely support you with all my strength...MS Group prepares gifts for its partners every year. This year, adding your double-sided embroidery will definitely make a difference."

"Mianmian, you don't have to do so much for me."

"I'm not doing this for you, but it's a win-win situation, why not do it?" Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, "And I want a custom-made one, are you confident that you can complete it?"

Xu Yihan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I can do that."

"Okay, then you can complete one according to my requirements first. If I am satisfied, you will be busy next time."

"Mianmian, thank you..."

"I told you, I'm not doing this for you." Gu Mian smiled, "We are just a supply and demand relationship."

Xu Yihan didn't know what to say, "I will definitely not let you down."

The phone suddenly rang. It was a video call from Li Tingshen.

"I'll go back to my room first, you stay with Xinxin."

"Um."

Gu Mian returned to the master bedroom and answered the phone.

The video shows Li Tingshen's handsome face.

Gu Mian asked, "Is this in the office?"

"Yeah, sleep here."

Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, "Where's Miss Lan?"

Li Tingshen: "......"

"Mrs. Li wants to see it. I'll call her over right now."

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "She touched the clothes in the closet in the lounge, so throw them all away."

"Okay, buy a new one."

"The bed needs to be changed too."

"Okay, throw away everything she touched."

Gu Mian was satisfied, "Let's get back to the topic. Where is she?"

"I stayed here to put on a show for you, but now there's no need. I'm locked up now."

"The procedural review showed that she did provide the worms, but they were fed by Gu Xingzhi. She did not know what poison was used to feed them."

Gu Mian nodded, "Gu Xingzhi won't kill me for a while."

"Not necessarily." The man in the video said, smoking a cigarette, "You went to Lu Lang to tell him the truth and had someone guard the Chinese medicine hall to prevent him from leaving. Gu Xingzhi must have guessed something."

"If you don't go to him, he might come to you on his own initiative."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xingzhi called.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear."

“It’s Gu Xingzhi.”

"Um."

"You can answer it, but there is one thing. For safety reasons, don't meet him."

"good."

Gu Mian answered Gu Xingzhi's call but didn't say anything.

"Mianmian, I know you are listening."

Gu Xingzhi's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Since your memory has been restored, why are you hiding from me?"

Gu Mian sneered, "Do I need to hide from you?"

"Then come out and we can meet."

"I don't need to hide from you, but I don't want to see you either. I don't want to see your hypocritical face."

Gu Xingzhi smiled faintly, "Mianmian, you must be in pain not being able to get close to Li Tingshen, right? Then why do you want to restore your memory? Wouldn't it be better to just lose your memory and suffer less?"

"I can forget other things, but I can't forget your evil." Gu Mian smiled, "My master's love for Aunt Gu is pure, but you even use him. You are really out of your depth, right?"

"Gu Xingzhi, now that things have come to this, what else do you have to do? The most you can do is kill me and make Ting Shen miserable."

"As for me, I'm no longer afraid of death. Even if I die, Ting Shen will live well. It's not as painful as you imagine. Just like before, I thought he was dead. Although it was sad, life went on as usual."

"You thought he would be in agony, but you underestimated the power of time. Time can slowly dilute all pain...except you, of course."

Gu Mian smiled faintly, "Your pain and hatred are becoming more and more intense over time, and you even transfer your hatred to innocent people."

There was the sound of a lighter coming from the other end of the phone. It must be Gu Xingzhi lighting a cigarette.

"Mianmian, I'm in Yuhua Mansion now. I often wonder, if you hadn't married Li Tingshen, would we have been married a long time ago and lived here? Would we also have Nian Nian and live an ordinary and stable life?"

Gu Mian shook his head helplessly. "Now that things have come to this, are you going to attribute the reason why you have become so deranged to the fact that I didn't marry you?"

"Gu Xingzhi, you are so pitiful. You are so pitiful that you can't even find a suitable excuse for your evil."

"I don't even want to ask you to let me go now. Everyone will die sooner or later. I don't care anymore. After going through so many things, I have already let go of life and death."

"I just hope that I don't have to see you again in my next life."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Yuhua Mansion, Gu Xingzhi looked at the hung up call with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Gu Xingzhi, you are really pitiful..."
