Chapter 54 Falling in love with sleeping

Although Yin Luoxue was sitting in a wheelchair, she was dressed up carefully.

A white dress from a high-end brand, paired with flawless makeup, made her look as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.

Sitting in a wheelchair not only does not affect her beauty, but makes her look more pitiful, instantly arousing a man's desire to protect her.

Yin Luoxue looked at him affectionately, "Brother Tingshen, I called you several times, but you didn't answer."

"I'm busy and don't have time to answer." Li Tingshen said calmly, "If you have something urgent, the programmer will tell me."

Yin Luoxue said sensibly, "I understand. I will never bother you again when you are busy. Just contact me when you are done."

Li Tingshen said "hmm" lightly and strode inside.

"Brother." Li Xingze came up with a glass of wine in his hand, "Grandma is so generous that she invited so many people. I didn't even have such a grand ceremony when I was 18 years old..."

Li Tingshen patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you are eighty years old, you will also be able to have such a grand occasion."

Li Xingze: “…”

"Boss Li."

"Boss Li, you're back."

A guest came over and toasted Li Tingshen.

Yin Luoxue looked at him with admiration.

Li Xingze looked at Yin Luoxue and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The look in her eyes is enough to make people tear silk threads. If you don’t know her, you would think she is the Li lady.

Li Xingze couldn't help but say, "Luoxue, today's banquet was hosted by grandma. She probably didn't invite you, right?"

Yin Luoxue looked hurt. "Xingze, what do you mean by that? Don't you want me to come? Our two families are old friends and neighbors. I can even attend the Li family's family banquet, so why can't I come to this kind of banquet?"

"Grandma isn't such an intolerant person, but you'd better stay away from my brother. Otherwise, if she sees you, she will be angry and take it out on Gu Mian." Li Xingze reminded.

"That's true. Grandma always favors Gu Mian unconditionally, and she doesn't even care about the friendship between our two families that has lasted for generations."

"You should say less in this situation." Li Xingze ignored her and left.

How could Yin Luoxue possibly listen to him? It was a rare opportunity for her to meet Li Tingshen today, so she naturally had to seize the opportunity to achieve her goal.

"The old lady is here."

As someone spoke, everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Gu Mian walked out holding the hand of old lady Li, and Mr. Lu Lang stood on her other side.

The girl was wearing a mint green dress, her shoulder-length hair was casually tied into a bun, and her face was lightly made up.

She was not dressed up, but she was stunningly beautiful.

Li Tingshen walked forward involuntarily and stood beside her.

Madam Li took Gu Mian's hand and put it on Li Tingshen's arm.

"Grandma!" Gu Mian spoke softly and gave her a puzzled look.

"It's not just men who need to play along, we women want it too." The old lady explained and stepped aside.

Gu Mian had no choice but to continue holding Li Tingshen's arm.

Yin Luoxue's hands tightly grasped the armrests of the wheelchair, her teeth itching with hatred.

"Everyone," Mr. Lu Lang said happily, "Thank you all for coming to the dinner hosted by my beloved disciple Gu Mian and me. I hope you will take good care of my little disciple Gu Mian in the future. I offer you a toast."

Everyone raised their glasses and congratulated Mr. Lu Lang.

Mr. Lu Lang took Gu Mian to meet the guests.

"My girl Mian is really outstanding." Madam Li stood beside Li Tingshen, looking at Gu Mian's slender and straight back, and couldn't help but praise her, "After she divorces you, she will definitely meet a good man. That's good, I will have another grandson-in-law..."

Li Tingshen's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

"How could that be?" The old lady pretended to be curious. "Am I wrong?"

"I will not divorce Gu Mian." Li Tingshen said word by word, "She will never marry another man."

"Tsk..." The old lady said disdainfully, "Loving someone is like raising a flower, it needs careful care and nurturing, but you treat Miss Mian as a weed and don't even allow others to treat her as a treasure? ... Ting Shen, you can't be so selfish."

Li Tingshen ignored her and looked towards the door.

Madam Li felt that his eyes were unfriendly, so she followed his line of sight and saw Pei Jianchuan walking in with Xiaobao.

Gu Mian also saw them and immediately went to greet them, "Mr. Pei, why are you in the capital? Are you on a business trip?"

"I guess so." Pei Jianchuan explained with a smile, "I am now the largest shareholder of Yin Group. This time I came here to take over Yin Group. It will soon be the imperial capital branch of Pei Group. In addition, Xiaobao likes the imperial capital, so I decided to bring him to live in the imperial capital for a long time."

"So that's how it is." Gu Mian touched Xiaobao's head. "That's good. I can see Xiaobao more often."

Xiaobao looked at her happily, "Mom... take care of sister."

Gu Mian looked at Pei Jianchuan curiously.

Pei Jianchuan smiled and said, "Since you are going to live in the imperial capital for a long time, Xiaobao's address to you is bound to be misunderstood. I don't want to cause trouble to you, so I asked him to correct it."

Gu Mian squatted down in front of Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, no matter what you call me, I will always love you."

Xiao Bao hugged her tightly and said, "I will always love Sister Gu Mian, too."

Not far away, Li Ting was watching this heartwarming scene, his face so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it.

He walked forward with his long legs, "Gu Mian, take Xiao Bao to eat something."

"Are you hungry, little baby?" Gu Mian asked.

Xiaobao nodded.

"Then let's go eat something."

After the two of them left hand in hand, Li Tingshen looked at Pei Jianchuan, "Mr. Pei seems to have forgotten what I said last time in Haicheng."

Pei Jianchuan took a wine glass from the waiter, took a sip of red wine, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Li meant for me to stay away from Gu Mian, then I'm sorry, Gu Mian and I are friends, there is no reason for us to never see each other again."

Li Ting smiled faintly, "It seems that I let President Pei get the Yin Group, which made you mysteriously confident and feel that anything can be easily obtained."

"If Mr. Li compares Gu Mian with Yin's Group, it would be too disrespectful to her." Pei Jianchuan said, "How can Gu Mian be compared with Yin's Group?"

Li Ting sneered, "It seems that my wife has a great importance in President Pei's heart."

"It's not that she's important to me, it's that President Li underestimated Gu Mian's ability. Not everyone can be Mr. Lu Lang's only closed disciple." Pei Jianchuan took a sip of red wine, "So even if President Li wanted to cover up her brilliance, I'm afraid he couldn't."

"There is always a price to pay for every gain. Being too conspicuous is not a good thing." Li Ting said coldly, "If you go out with a bunch of bodyguards following you, you will only lose your freedom."

"Gu Mian is an adult and has his own responsibilities."

Li Tingshen's face turned even colder. "It seems that President Pei knows my wife better than I do."

"Boss Li, you hit the nail on the head. Perhaps you have never really understood her." Pei Jianchuan raised his glass to signal, "Excuse me."

Li Tingshen felt extremely upset in his chest, so he poured himself a glass of wine and went straight upstairs to the study.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Li Tingshen was sitting in a big chair with his eyes closed, and he shouted impatiently, "Get lost!"

The door opened, and Yin Luoxue came in on a wheelchair. "Brother Tingshen, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you here?" Li Ting opened his eyes and said, "Get out."

"Brother Tingshen, don't be angry. It's not good for your health." Yin Luoxue said with concern, "I brought a bottle of good wine. I'll drink with you to relieve your boredom."

"No need." Li Tingshen refused coldly.

"Brother Tingshen, have we really become so distant?" Yin Luoxue looked hurt. "You have never treated me like this before... If you fall in love with Gu Mian, you can just tell me directly. I will respect her as my sister-in-law..."

"Who told you that I fell in love with Gu Mian!" Li Tingshen's chest became more and more stuffy, "I will never fall in love with her!"

At the door of the study, Gu Mian stood quietly, with a flash of pain in his lowered eyes...
