"So, you are him, Mu Mingwei is the mother, Gu Shilin is the younger brother, and the eldest son of the Gu Group is the father?"
"How ironic is that?"
Ji Jianshen's words were an admission.
After he finished speaking, he started coughing violently. Ye Xinning quickly tried to comfort him, but as Ji Jianshen coughed, he coughed up blood.
This terrified Ye Xinning.
"Ji Jianshen, how are you? Are you alright?"
"It's an old problem, nothing serious."
Ye Xinning had often heard Ji Jianshen say this before. She used to wonder why Ji Jianshen had so many health problems at such a young age, and now she seemed to understand a little.
After Ji Jianshen was tricked into this accident by Mu Mingwei under the pretense of getting lost, he must have suffered a lot of unspeakable pain.
Why didn't you tell me all this sooner?
"When I was a child, I met you in Northern Europe. It made me realize that the world is not just about indifference and abandonment. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would definitely tell you these things. It's strange, isn't it? At that time, I felt that you could understand me."
"Did you stop talking about it later because of Shen Lin?" Ye Xinning understood what Ji Jianshen meant by not finishing his sentence.
Later, she met Shen Lin, whose identity was special. Mu Mingwei was Shen Lin's aunt, and Gu Shilin was Shen Lin's cousin. Naturally, Ji Jianshen would not say these things again when he met her later.
I know how you feel about him.
Ji Jianshen rested for a while, and only after feeling better did he continue speaking.
“You should have told me about something this big sooner.” Ye Xinning thought of her father’s reaction. “My dad knows about these things, right?”
"Um."
Ye Xinning knew why her father had always wanted her to see Ji Jianshen more. Ji Jianshen had been through so much, and her relationship with Shen Lin was like that. Her father definitely wanted her to live a carefree life with Shen Lin, rather than having these things affect her life.
However, even though Ji Jianshen never said it, she and Shen Lin were still defeated by reality.
“There’s no need to hide things from me anymore, Ji Jianshen. Like you said, we’re family and good friends. You see, you’ve been busy with me for so long, and I still found out in the end. Although I can’t help you much, at least you told me, so I can be a good listener when you want to talk.”
Ye Xinning knew very well how oppressive it was to keep so many things to herself.
Ji Jianshen looked at the person in front of him. Her face was full of gentleness, and she was genuinely concerned when she said these words.
Ji Jianshen suddenly felt a little greedy for this tenderness.
"Thanks."
Ye Xinning didn't notice anything amiss with Ji Jianshen. She shook her head and said, "Why are you saying such formal things? And what about you? What are your plans for the future?"
"Are you talking about that person?" Ji Jianshen's hatred for Mu Mingwei made him unwilling to mention her name again. As for that title, from the moment Mu Mingwei abandoned him, she was no longer his family.
"Um."
"First, I want to take back the Gu Group that belongs to my father and make them leave the Gu family."
This "them" naturally includes Gu Shilin.
Ye Xinning recalled that Ji Jianshen hadn't mentioned Gu Shilin's biological father when he was talking earlier.
Of course, Ji Jianshen wouldn't have forgotten. The reason he was unwilling to tell her might be that either he didn't know, or he felt it wasn't the right time to tell her yet.
"Yes, whatever you do, there are considerations. Just do it boldly and without worry." Ye Xinning thought for a moment, then said this to Ji Jianshen without asking any further questions.
As for her suspicions about Mu Mingwei, she didn't tell Ji Jianshen.
Ji Jianshen was already entangled in so many things. She could investigate her own affairs herself; there was no need to drag Ji Jianshen into it as well.
night.
Ji Jianshen left after finishing his meal at the manor.
Ye Xinning saw him off at the door before returning to her own bedroom.
What she didn't know was that from the moment she saw Ji Jianshen off until the light in her bedroom came on, there was a car parked not far away, and the people inside the car kept their eyes on her.
The person sitting next to Shen Lin was Tang Song, who had been sent by Wen Zhu to follow him. Tang Song carefully observed his boss Shen's expression. From the moment he appeared here to the moment he saw his wife come out to see off a strange man, the atmosphere in the car became increasingly tense. Tang Song seemed to understand what Wen Zhu had told him: speak less, do more, and if possible, even breathe more softly in front of President Shen.
Right now, Tang Song hesitated, wondering whether he should say something or not.
Just as Tang Song was deeply conflicted, Shen Lin spoke up.
"Ji Jianshen came straight here after meeting my aunt?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
"You haven't left at all until just now?" Shen Lin continued to ask.
Tang Song, “…”
Isn't this obvious? Mr. Shen is just asking a question he already knows the answer to.
"Yes, they did go in and never came out again."
Shen Lin's gaze was deep, and he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
So, are she now openly and legitimately dating Ji Jianshen?
Has she forgotten that she and he are still legally husband and wife, and that she is pregnant with his child?
"How's the investigation going? Is there anything we can dig deeper into regarding Ji Jianshen's identity?"
