Chapter 58 Irreparable
"Madam!" Mother Yang ran over with an umbrella. "Are you crazy? How can you stand in the rain when you are not fully recovered? Get up quickly!"
"Mother Yang, don't worry, I won't do anything wrong." Gu Mian stood under the umbrella and smiled at her. "Grandma was most worried about me before she died. I will live well and let her rest assured."
Mother Yang felt distressed and said, "Let's go back, or you will catch a cold."
......
When the two took a taxi back to Yunyue Bay, it was already dark.
Mother Yang went upstairs and put a tub of hot water in it, and asked Gu Mian to take a bath in it.
The warm water wrapped around the sleeping body, and the coldness gradually dissipated.
Gu Mian leaned tiredly in the bathtub, staring blankly into some empty space.
The sudden ring interrupted Gu Mian's thoughts. She picked up the phone beside her and answered the call, "Uncle."
"Mianmian, what happened?"
Gu Mian frowned, "What?"
"Ting Shen's assistant came to me again and gave me several properties and storefronts worth at least hundreds of millions! Did something happen between you and Ting Shen? He bullied you, right?"
Gu Mian smiled bitterly.
This is what Li Tingshen called compensation.
I have to say that Mr. Li is indeed very generous.
But she doesn't need to.
Her blood, her regrets, cannot be bought with money.
"Uncle, can you give up these things?" Gu Mian said, "I will work hard to make money and will not let you and aunt live a bad life."
Although Gu Mian didn't say it explicitly, Gu Zhiyuan didn't ask any more questions. "Of course my uncle will listen to you. Don't worry, my uncle doesn't want it. I also think there's something fishy going on here, so I called you to ask you clearly. Not only do I not want these, but I also want to return the two stores he gave me before."
Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "If you return all of them, my aunt will definitely be unhappy. You can keep the two stores you owned before, and don't take the others."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Zhiyuan said helplessly, "Mianmian, uncle knows that his ability is limited and he can't help you, but uncle still hopes that you don't make yourself suffer. We are a family, and if there is any hardship, uncle is willing to accompany you to bear it together."
"I know, thank you uncle."
Gu Mian hung up the phone, thought about it, and finally sent a text message to Pei Jianchuan.
......
President Office of Leshi Group.
Li Tingshen was sitting behind his desk with his eyes closed, resting his mind, when his cell phone suddenly rang with a text message alert.
He ignored it, and soon the second sound came.
Li Ting opened his eyes and saw the text message reminder on the screen.
One is the account arrival notification, and the other is from Gu Mian.
Li Tingshen clicked on the text message and saw the content sent by Gu Mian: [I asked someone to appraise the value of the two stores you gave to my uncle and transferred the money to you. I hope you can agree to a divorce as soon as possible to maintain the last bit of dignity between the two of you. Finally, if it is not a divorce, please don't come to me again.]
Li Tingshen's pupils suddenly contracted, and when he saw the numbers on another text message, his eyes darkened.
He pressed the intercom on the table and said, "Check where Gu Mian got the 25 million."
"Yes, Mr. Li."
Li Tingshen stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.
On the way back to Yunyue Bay, Li Tingshen first called home.
It was Yang's mother who answered the phone. Before Li Tingshen could ask, she took the initiative to report, "Sir, my wife packed some things and left. She didn't say where she was going."
Li Tingshen had expected this a long time ago, "I know."
As soon as he hung up the phone, the program called.
"Boss Li, I've checked. At around 8 o'clock, Pei Jianchuan transferred 15 million to his wife's account. Adding the previous 10 million for medical treatment, the total is exactly 25 million. His wife transferred it to you."
Li Tingshen's face suddenly turned gloomy, "Don't tell me that my wife is at Pei's house now."
"...I'll check it out right away."
Half an hour later, just as Li Tingshen stepped into the house, Chengxu called again, "Boss Li, my wife did go to Pei's house, and she hasn't come out yet..."
Li Ting closed his eyes, turned around and walked out.
......
Pei family.
Gu Mian took Xiao Bao's temperature again. "38.3 degrees, still feverish, but it's finally coming down. Don't worry, Mr. Pei. I'll continue to use physical cooling methods to cool him down. He'll be fine."
Xiaobao was sleeping on the bed with his face flushed red.
"I feel relieved with you here. Gu Mian, thank you for your hard work."
"As I should." Gu Mian changed the towel on Xiaobao's forehead.
Pei Jianchuan looked at her. "Given your personality, you won't easily ask me for money. Is there something wrong?"
Gu Mian smiled faintly, "Well, I'm getting ready for a divorce."
Pei Jianchuan was stunned for a moment, "Have you decided?"
"It's decided." Gu Mian said softly, "There's no way to save the relationship between him and me."
"Whatever decision you make, as a friend, I will support you."
"Thank you."
There seemed to be a doorbell ringing downstairs. After a while, the servant came in and reported, "Mr. Pei, there is a man named Li outside. He said he is here to see Miss Gu Mian."
Gu Mian paused as he was wiping Xiao Bao's face with a towel and quickly said, "Please ask him to leave."
Pei Jianchuan smiled and said, "Li Tingshen is not so easy to deal with. I'll go down and take a look."
"If you go down, it will only bring you unnecessary trouble." Gu Mian pondered for a moment, "I will go and talk to him face to face."
"Okay."
After all, it was someone else's house, so Gu Mian did not invite Li Ting to come in, but walked out by himself.
It was still drizzling. Gu Mian opened a black umbrella and walked towards the man who was smoking next to the car.
Gu Mian stood in front of him at a distance of two meters, looking at him calmly, "If I remember correctly, I made it very clear in the text message, please don't come to me again."
Li Ting took a puff of his cigarette irritably and sneered, "So what you mean is that my wife ran away from home in the middle of the night with her suitcase to another man's house, and I should pretend that I knew nothing and acquiesce to her doing so, right?"
"When I came out of Yunyue Bay, I received a call from Mr. Pei. Xiaobao had a fever, so I had to come over to treat him. I will leave when his fever subsides." Gu Mian said coldly, "I don't have to explain so much to Mr. Li, but since you look like you've been cuckolded, I'd better explain it clearly."
"After all, I am different from Mr. Li. I have my own bottom line and I know what I am doing. I have a clear conscience. But Mr. Li can spend the whole night with Bai Yueguang and then he can justifiably suspect me of being unfaithful."
"Of course, if you are really afraid of being cuckolded, you can get a divorce early and end this ridiculous marriage with me. In this way, not only will you not have to worry about me doing something out of line, but you can also protect Yin Luoxue openly, killing two birds with one stone."
"Why didn't I realize you're so good at talking before?" Li Ting sneered, "Gu Mian, if you really have guts, you wouldn't ask other men for money to sever your ties with me!"
Gu Mian guessed what he was referring to, and was not surprised that he found it out so quickly.
It is said that the Leigh Group has many top hackers, and it is easy for them to check her account.
"I borrowed the 15 million from Mr. Pei."
"You would rather ask others for money than cut off ties with me?"
"Yes." Gu Mian's cold face was full of determination. "I just want to cut off all ties with you. The cleaner the better."
"Do you really think that we can sever our ties?" Li Tingshen threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and walked towards her step by step.
The rain was not heavy, but it was enough to soak him.
Tiny raindrops dripped down his short hair, adding a sense of brokenness to his handsome and flawless face.
Li Ting stared at her cold and resolute face, and instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Gu Mian, have you forgotten those nights when we were entangled with each other, or have you forgotten the uncontrollable screams you made under me, huh?"
