Ch. 151..160
Chapter 151: The Noble Circle Is So Chaotic [Senior, Auntie Lu just said that she wants to take me in as her goddaughter. Do you know?]
Ye Qingwan no longer had the same feelings for Lu Mingyu as she did in the past.
But in her heart, Lu Mingyu was a very good person.
In the past two years, he had been like an elder brother.
She felt that it was necessary to tell him.
In less than two minutes, Lu Mingyu called.
Ye Qingwan grabbed the pillow next to her and pressed the answer button.” Hello.”
Lu Mingyu’s voice was filled with joy.
“Wanwan, my mom told me this morning that she likes you very much. If you don’t mind her, fulfill her dream of being a daughter. She doesn’t like me now. She feels that if you agree to her, she will be in a better mood and will like me more.”
Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but laugh again.
“Senior, you make yourself sound so pitiful.”
“I’m really pitiful. You don’t know, but my mother has always been a daughter fanatic. Before I was three years old, she often dressed me up as her daughter. She wants to swap me with someone else’s daughter all day long.”
“Then it’s not easy for you to grow up until now?”
“It’s not easy. My dad is a wife-lover. He listens to whatever my mom says. Let me tell you a little secret. My mom has fallen for Zixi as well. In her words, as long as you were willing to be her goddaughter, she would even have a grandson.”
Ye Qingwan’s mouth twitched.
Lu Mingyu persuaded her on the other end of the phone.” Wanwan, if you don’t dare to make a decision on your own, you can discuss it with Gu Shimo. To be honest, on the one hand, I hope that you can be my sister, but on the other hand, I don’t. You know, I’ve liked you for so many years. If you become my sister sister, I won’t be able to have any more thoughts.”
“But I also want you to be my sister. That way, even though we can’t be together, we’ll always be family.”

Before he went to sleep.
Ye Qingwan checked Weibo again.
Bai Shanshan was still on the trending searches.
Although the audio on Weibo did not mention Bai Shanshan’s adultery…Her husband’s name.
However, some netizens guessed Liu Yunzhi.
[I’ve heard this voice many times. I think it’s especially like Liu Yunzhi, the heir of the Liu Corporation who died in a car accident a few days ago.]
Below that comment, there were hundreds of replies.
[Really? Bai Shanshan and Liu Yunzhi are together. No wonder they want Bai Shanshan to have a son so that they can seize the Gu family’s property…]
[The rich circle is chaotic, but the rich families are deep. Bai Shanshan was done for. Her adulterer was dead. Did she have to go to the netherworld to continue having an affair with him?]
[What are you stealing? Didn’t you see the statement issued by the Gu Corporation? There would be a press conference tomorrow. She was only a few days away from becoming Mrs. Gu. After tomorrow, Bai Shanshan would be nothing.]
[She’s nothing now. Don’t sully my Prince Charming, President Gu, with her filth.] According to reliable sources, Young Marshal Mu did not hold a press conference immediately because he was overseas and not in South City.]
[Yes, I can prove that our CEO is on a business trip and is still on the plane. Please don’t tie Bai Shanshan to our president anymore. She’s not worthy.]
[According to the irresponsible news I received, Bai Shanshan did not just cheat on someone. Five years ago, she even harmed someone…]
Ye Qingwan didn’t continue reading.
He exited Weibo.
She placed her phone on the bedside table.
Pulling the quilt, covering the quilt, and then sleeping.
In the middle of the night, Ye Qingwan felt something stuck to her lips, wet and numb.
In a daze, she raised her hand to touch it. When her wrist was grabbed, she woke up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes. In the dim light, she saw the outline of a man with a clear and mature aura.
“Wanwan, I’m back.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man held her head with one hand and kissed her lips with the other hand.
Chapter 152: Because I Love You “Big brother.”
Ye Qingwan’s voice was still sleepy and hoarse.
When Gu Shimo heard this, his heart was filled with happiness.
His kiss was gentle and affectionate, as if he had poured all the thoughts of the past few days into this kiss.
In the beginning.
He just wanted to kiss her and hug her.
I didn’t think about more things.
But later, when Ye Qingwan hugged him and kissed him back…
Gu Shimo’s self-control crumbled inch by inch. In the end, he could not control the thought of wanting her.
He called out hoarsely,” Wanwan, I want you.””
Ye Qingwan’s last bit of sleepiness dissipated in his words.
Gu Shimo gently confessed in Ye Qingwan’s ear,” Wanwan, I love you.”
Ye Qingwan was shocked.
Her body stiffened. After a long while, her brain finally recovered.
That night, he called her name over and over again,” Wanwan, Wanwan.”
That sentence,” Wanwan, let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?”
Ye Qingwan’s voice drowned it out.
He wanted her so badly that she couldn’t help but make a sound.
All he heard was tomorrow.
She didn’t know what he said after that.
After the event.
He carried her to the bathroom to wash up, then carried her back to the bed.
When he pulled her into his arms again, she asked him,” What did you say about tomorrow?”
His eyes darkened. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.” Didn’t you agree just now?” he said softly.”
“No, I didn’t hear you say anything about tomorrow.”
Staring at her own reflection in his eyes, Ye Qingwan was confused.
Gu Shimo chuckled.” I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
He stroked her hair and said gently,”You’ve worked hard these two days. I’ll hold a press conference this afternoon to announce that the cancel has nothing to do with Bai Shanshan.”.”
“Why didn’t you ask me why I didn’t tell you? Do I know that Bai Shanshan’s child isn’t yours?””
Ye Qingwan looked at Gu Shimo’s handsome eyebrows and asked casually.
Previously, she had said that Gu Shimo was dirty and that Bai Shanshan had had a relationship with him that night.
In fact, she felt that after that non-existent night between him and Bai Shanshan, they might have had sex countless times over the years.
Gu Shimo tightened his grip on her, pressing her against his chest.
His hoarse and gentle voice rang in her ears.” I bullied you five years ago, but I don’t remember it was you. Later on, I even caused you to lose a baby and almost lost my life. It’s only right for you to hate and resent me. It’s even more normal that you didn’t tell me.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan’s nose started to sting as she listened to his words of self-blame and guilt.
“Wanwan, I can’t change the past, but I won’t let you and Zixi suffer any more harm or grievances in the future.”
“You don’t have to do this for the sake of responsibility.”
She thought of the confession he had just made in her ear.
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat.
However, most of what men said in bed could not be trusted.
From the beginning, he had only been responsible for her. She did not dare to believe that he really loved her.
Gu Shimo frowned.
He cupped her blushing face with his large palm and said softly,” It’s not a responsibility. I’m with you because I love you.”
“..”
“You don’t believe me?”
“I…”
“It’s okay if you don’t believe me. I have a lifetime to prove it to you, and you have a lifetime to test my feelings for you.”
“I’m afraid that you can’t tell what love is and mistake responsibility for love.”
Ye Qingwan lowered her eyes, her voice a little stiff.
As soon as she finished speaking, her chin was lifted by the man’s long fingers.
She was forced to meet his long and deep eyes.
His hot breath landed on her.” It’s not that I don’t understand love. It’s you who doesn’t understand.”
“I…”
The moment she opened her mouth, the man kissed her again.
Chapter 153: Why Should He Go Back? Early morning.
Ye Zixi opened his eyes and saw Gu Shimo sitting on the edge of his bed. His eyes immediately lit up.
She held his hand excitedly.” Uncle, why are you back? You weren’t back when I was sleeping last night.””
Gu Shimo raised his other hand and stroked Ye Zixi’s head lovingly.
She smiled and said,” I was still on the plane when you were sleeping last night.”
“Uncle, Mom applied for two days off so that I don’t have to go to school.”
Actually, Ye Zixi liked Gu Shimo the most.
She liked him more than Gu Ziyang, Yang Feng, and Lu Mingyu.
He had an inexplicable sense of admiration for Gu Shimo.
When she spoke to him, her eyes sparkled.” Uncle, you’re back. Can you send me to school now?”
“You want to go to school?”
“Yes.”
“But Mommy applied for leave for you. Can’t you play at home for two days?”
Gu Shimo asked with a smile.
Ye Zixi shook her head and pouted.” No, I like school.””
“Alright then. After breakfast, I’ll send you to school.”
Gu Shimo was very proud of Zixi’s love for learning.
When Ye Zixi heard that she could go to school today, she jumped up in joy.
She jumped and shouted,”Yeah, yeah, that’s great. I can go to school.””
Gu Shimo looked at his happy expression and the smile on his face deepened.
His phone rang. His eyes flickered when he saw the caller ID.
She placed Ye Zixi’s clothes in front of him and said gently,” Zixi, put on your clothes first. Mom is waiting for you downstairs for breakfast.””
Ye Zixi responded.
He picked up his clothes and put them on.
He got up and walked to the window to answer the call.
His deep voice overflowed his thin lips.” Hello, Dad.”
“Shi Mo, you’re on a business trip and haven’t returned to South City?”
Xiaoquan Gu’s voice was heard.
Gu Shimo replied with an “okay”. Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xiaoquan said on the other end of the phone,”Shi Mo, I just saw the post on the Internet. The child Bai Shanshan miscarried back then wasn’t yours. What’s going on? This matter was even published on Wanwan’s public account?””
The schools were all in the mountains.
The signal there wasn’t good, so he rarely went online.
She had been busy for the past two days, so she did not see the trending searches on the Internet immediately.
It was only this morning when he woke up that he saw a repost from a good friend on his WeChat Moments.
After clicking on the article, he went to Weibo to look at the trending searches.
Then, she called him.
“Dad, it’s exactly as you saw. Bai Shanshan got together with Liu Yunzhi five years ago. She had a miscarriage back then because the child was Liu Yunzhi’s…I will hold a press conference this afternoon.”
“You’ve returned to South City?”
“Yes, I came back this morning.”
“Alright, then I’ll go back today.”
“Alright.”
“By the way, didn’t your mother call you about Bai Shanshan?”
Although Gu Xiaoquan knew that Ye Qingwan had yet to tell Gu Shimo about his background, he still had to tell Ye Qingwan the secret.
Then, she mentioned Zhao Qinlan in front of Gu Shimo.
It was a little difficult to say.
She heard the hesitation in his words.
Gu Shimo did not think too much about it.
She only said,” No, I just came back this morning. I was on a business trip two days ago. My mother should know.”
“Shi Mo, let’s talk when I get back.”
On the other end of the phone, Xiaoquan Gu was silent for a long time before he spoke again. His voice carried a hint of complicated emotions.
—-
At the Gu residence.
Gu Ziyang knew that Gu Shimo was coming back today.
Zhao Qinlan heard it from Gu Ziyang.
She had asked Gu Ziyang about it when the Gu Corporation had released their statement yesterday.
At the breakfast table, she asked again,” Ziyang, what time is your brother’s flight to Southern City today?”
“I’m not sure either. I’ll ask Gu Feng or Zuo Zhi later.”
Gu Ziyang looked up at Zhao Qinlan and lowered his eyes.
” Mom, when are you going to let Mu Wei go back to the Joneses?””
“Why should we let him go back? He’s doing quite well in our family.”
At the mention of Mu Wei, Zhao Qinlan’s eyes flickered.
Chapter 154: I Won’t Snatch She thought about how Mu Wei had dared to do that in front of her during their video call yesterday afternoon.
Although he had never let her see it directly.
But she kept listening to his panting…
Afterwards, he explained to her in all seriousness that he had not had another woman since his wife passed away.
Last night.
Zhao Qinlan was scrolling through her Moments before she went to bed.
She then saw the photo that Mu Wei had sent.
Although he was wearing shorts, it was too obvious.
Moreover, the text he sent was very ambiguous and made people think.
Her hand slipped and she liked it.
A minute later, a WeChat message rang.
Mu Yuan sent her a video call invitation.
After the video call in the afternoon, Zhao Qinlan, who was lonely at night, felt that it was no big deal to video call again.
She picked up the call and saw the bathroom mirror.
The sound of water splashing, the dense fog, and the unclear scene.
Zhao Qinlan felt her blood heating up.
She heard Mu Yuan say,” Wifey, I’m sorry. I was in the shower and saw you like it. I wanted to send you a message, but I accidentally clicked on send a video.”
“You’re still playing with your phone when you’re showering?”
Zhao Qinlan stared at him.
Mu Yuan admitted generously,” I didn’t want to take a shower at first, but I accidentally dirtied it just now. As for the reason why I was showering and playing with my phone, please don’t be angry if I tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
“Ever since I saw your selfie that night, I can’t help but want to look at your photo for the past two days…”
—-
“Mom, are you hot? Why is your face a little red?”
Gu Ziyang’s voice pulled Zhao Qinlan’s thoughts back from last night’s memories.
She choked on her own saliva and coughed a few times.
After she stopped coughing, she said,” It’s a little hot. The weather is sultry. Shouldn’t it rain in the next two days?””
“It seems that it will only rain next Monday.”
Gu Ziyang suggested,” If you feel that it’s hot in South City, you can go on a vacation for a while. It’s good to go to A City to avoid the heat. Do you want to consider it? I’ll book tickets for you.”
Zhao Qinlan instinctively wanted to reject him, but she suddenly thought of something.
She changed her tone.” Your suggestion is not bad. I’ll consider it.””
Gu Ziyang nodded.” Okay, let me know when you’ve thought about it. I’ll book the tickets for you.””
“You don’t have to book it for me. You should focus on your business. Ziyang, are you sure you don’t want to join the company?”
If Zhao Qinlan wanted Gu Ziyang to enter the company, it would be best if she took away the power in Gu Shimo’s hands.
However, Gu Ziyang had never been interested in business since he was young. In addition, he had always had a good relationship with Gu Shimo.
Hence, Zhao Qinlan didn’t dare to say it out loud.
“Mom, you know that my interest is not in the company. It’s fine as long as my brother is in the Gu Corporation. I still like to be a director and play with scripts.”
“But you are also one of the heirs of the Gu family. Although you are brothers, in this aspect…”
“Mom, don’t tell me you want me to fight with my brother for it? I’m not his match. Even if I am, I won’t fight with my brother.”
Zhao Qinlan’s words were interrupted by Gu Ziyang, and this topic was finally stopped.
After breakfast, Gu Ziyang told Zhao Qinlan that he was going to the Ye family villa to see if his brother was back.
He didn’t care if Zhao Qinlan agreed or not and strode out of the living room.
In the dining room.
Zhao Qinlan thought back to when Gu Ziyang had asked her if she wanted to go on a vacation.
The scene from last night appeared in her mind again.
Although she and Mu Yuan did not have any physical contact.
But they were also separated by the screen…
She hesitated.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mu Yuan.
[Mu Yuan, come to the living room. I have something to tell you.]
Mu Yuan replied,[Wifey, I’m outside now. I’ll be back later.]]
Zhao Qinlan put down her chopsticks and moved to the living room sofa to wait for him.
Chapter 155: Your Father and Mother Are So Nice At the dining table of the Ye family villa.
Ye Zixi was in a particularly good mood because she could go to school.
She was so good that she wanted to fight with Gu Shimo to peel an egg and pick up some food for Ye Qingwan.
“Mom, Uncle, can you send me to school together?”
Ye Zixi asked as she put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.
Gu Shimo raised his eyebrows.” Why do you want me and Mom to send you off together?”
“If I like it, you can give it to me together.”
Ye Zixi’s eyes lit up. On the first day of school, they had sent him off together. Jiang Mianmian had said that Gu Shimo was Ye Zixi’s father.
Ye Zixi was obsessed with finding his father all day because he yearned for fatherly love.
Therefore, he really wanted to hear others say that Gu Shimo was his father.
As for why it was Gu Shimo, of course, it was because Gu Shimo had the same face as him. It was just an enlarged version.
Ye Qingwan could not refuse Ye Zixi’s expectant gaze. She smiled and agreed,” No problem.””
“Mom and Uncle, you guys are so nice.”
Ye Zixi was never stingy with his compliments.
On the way to school, Ye Xi didn’t want to sit in the middle.
He insisted on changing seats with Ye Qingwan, so he leaned against the car door and let Ye Qingwan sit in the middle.
Gu Shimo quietly held Ye Qingwan’s hand in his palm. She looked at him disapprovingly, but he smiled and did not let go.
Ye Qingwan was afraid that Zixi would see it, so she let him hold it.
When they arrived at school, the two of them sent Ye Zixi into the classroom together.
Jiang Mianmian pulled Ye Zixi and whispered,” Zixi, your parents sent you to school together again. You’re so happy.””
She had already determined that Gu Shimo was Ye Zixi’s father.
Although Ye Zixi had said that he didn’t have a father, Jiang Mianmian felt that he was just comforting her.
Therefore, Ye Zixi was really good.
She would treat him even better.
—-
At the same time.
At the Gu residence.
Mu Yuan entered the living room and saw Zhao Qinlan leaning on the sofa. When he thought of the video from last night, a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.
Zhao Qinlan waited for him for a few minutes before she went upstairs to change into a nightgown.
Low-cut, sexy.
Seeing Mu Yuan staring at him.
She knew that she was still very attractive.
It was that bastard, Gu Xiaoquan, who did not know how to appreciate her beauty. That was why he had always been infatuated with that slut who had been dead for many years.
He didn’t even want to touch her.
“Madam, what can I do for you?”
Although Mu Yuan really wanted to pounce forward.
But he still restrained himself.
He had to wait for Zhao Qinlan to take the initiative. Only when Zhao Qinlan took the initiative would he be able to get something else from her.
But he didn’t take the initiative, it didn’t affect his eyes from top to bottom looking at Zhao Qinlan.
Zhao Qinlan looked up at him.”Have you found out where Bai Shanshan lives?””
The Bai family was taken over by the court.
There was no one in Bai Shanshan’s apartment.
Zhao Qinlan asked Mu Wei to find out where she was staying.
Mu Wei shook his head.”Madam, I’m investigating. I just found out that Bai Shanshan has several properties. I’m going to look for them one by one.””
“Yes, we must find her.”
Zhao Qinlan had been quite uneasy these two days.
After Bai Shanshan became a street rat, she didn’t call her.
She was afraid that Bai Shanshan would make excessive demands once she called.
“I’ll definitely find her and share Madam’s worries.”
“Cough…”
Zhao Qinlan suddenly coughed.
Mu Yuan immediately picked up the cup she had placed on the coffee table and brought it to her mouth.
The other hand patted her back and said considerately,” Madam, have some water.”
Zhao Qinlan raised her head and met his concerned gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.
She lowered her head and raised her hand to take the cup.
However, Mu Yuan stopped her.” Wifey, just drink like this.””
Although he had stopped patting her back, he did not remove his hand from her back.
The warmth of his palm seeped through her thin silk nightdress and burned her back…
She suddenly felt hot all over.
Chapter 156: Do You Want to Get a Certificate? “Madam, do you have a cold?”
Zhao Qinlan took two sips of water from Mu Wei’s hand.
Mu Wei had no intention of removing his hand from her back.
She said stiffly,” Maybe. Put the cup on the table. Also, you can take your hand away.””
“Yes.”
Mu Wei removed his hand.
He was naturally calm.
It was as if the ambiguity he had deliberately created just now did not exist.
Zhao Qinlan then got down to business.” Ziyang said this morning that he wanted me to travel to A City for a while.”
“That’s good. City A is suitable for summer vacation. Young Master Ziyang is really good to you, Madam.”
Mu Wei said.
“I’m going to go in two days, but I heard that it’s a bit chaotic in A City.”
“If Madam doesn’t mind, I can go and protect you.”
“Alright, since something like this has happened to Bai Shanshan, there’s no way to save her wedding with Shi Mo. As for Ye Zixi, you can wait for a while. He would make a decision after seeing Bai Shanshan’s fate.”
When Zhao Qinlan thought about how Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo were going to be together now that there were no more obstacles, her heart was filled with hatred.
However, her rationality told her that she had to think about it carefully.
After enduring for so many years, she had to think about how she was going to deal with Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan in the future without Bai Shanshan.
—-
Outside the school.
Gu Shimo held Ye Qingwan’s hand and got into the car domineeringly. Not only did he not have any intention of letting go, but he also took advantage of her and wrapped his large palm around her waist.
He surrounded her with his aura.
His thin lips pressed against her ear and he said,” Wanwan, do you want to get married with me?””
“..”
Ye Qingwan widened her eyes in shock at the handsome and elegant man in front of her.
His casual words gave her the feeling that he was asking her what she wanted to eat for lunch or if she thought the weather was good today.
However, when she heard this, her heart trembled violently.
“No.”
She rejected him instinctively.
Gu Shimo seemed to have guessed this answer.
The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile, and his warm breath blew by her ear, unwilling to leave.
“Then, I’ll ask again after a while.”
He had said last night that he would protect her and Zixi well and would not let them be bullied again.
He also said that they had a lifetime of time.
However, Gu Shimo was anxious.
However, that anxiety and uneasiness were suppressed deep in his heart and he did not show it at all.
He didn’t forget that even if Shanshan’s problem was solved and Wanwan believed in her innocence, there was still the death of her parents.
There was also that test report.
As long as the knot in her heart was not untied, she would not be able to accept herself completely.
“Gu Feng, go to the police station.”
He changed the topic and his voice echoed in the carriage.
“Yes, sir.”
Gu Feng, who was driving in front, answered respectfully.
Gu Shimo explained to Ye Qingwan,” The witness is at the police station. I’ll tell you about the other evidence later. Bai Shanshan is probably at the police station now.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan didn’t finish her sentence.
Gu Shimo’s phone rang.
When he saw Fu Yushen’s call, he picked it up without hesitation.
He said,”Hello.”
Fu Yushen’s voice came from the phone.”Shi Mo, Bai Shanshan has been brought back to the police station. When are you coming over?””
“Half an hour later.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the station. If you’re late, I’ll have to go to a meeting.”
Fu Yushen was very busy.
However, Gu Shimo was his good brother, and this case involved the person Gu Shimo cared about the most.
He had no reason to ignore it.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped outside the Nancheng Police Station.
Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan got out of the car and saw Fu Yusheng in his uniform standing in front of the car a few steps away.
When he saw them, he said something to the young policeman and walked over.
Chapter 157: She Doesn’t Seem to Be Pretending “Shi Mo, Wanwan, if you don’t come, I’m leaving.”
Fu Yusheng’s gaze swept over Shi Mo’s hand that was holding Ye Qingwan’s and he raised his eyebrows.
Gu Shimo glanced at the car waiting for him.” Go to the meeting. We’ll go and see the witness and Bai Shanshan first. The rest will be left to the lawyer.””
“Alright, I’ve already given the instructions. If you have anything to do, call me again.”
“Yes.”
Fu Yushen didn’t say anything else. When one of his subordinates came out, he gave a few more instructions before turning around and getting into the car beside him.
After the car drove away, Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan followed the captain into the police station.
“Bai Shanshan’s condition isn’t very good. She might have been too agitated…”
On the way to the interrogation room, the young police captain told Gu Shimo.
Gu Shimo’s eyes were a little cold. Bai Shanshan’s condition was not good, and this was not good news.
After hurting his Wanwan like that, it was too easy for her to escape punishment in this way.
“Are you sure? Could it be an act?”
“Now I’m not sure.”
Two minutes later.
Gu Shimo and Ye Wan saw Bai Shanshan, who was in a bad state.
She was tugging at her hair as she muttered to herself,”The Internet is full of lies. My child is Shi Mo’s. I have nothing to do with Liu Yunzhi.””
“She lives in a villa in the suburbs. When we saw her, her assistant said that she didn’t sleep at all last night…”
Hearing the sound, Bai Shanshan stopped pulling her hair.
She looked up at Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan.
Meeting Gu Shimo’s deep and fierce gaze, Bai Shanshan’s body trembled and she shrank her neck in fear.”Shi Mo, listen to my explanation. I really didn’t betray you.””
Gu Shimo’s eyes flashed with disgust because of what she had said about Shi Mo.
Her face grew darker and darker, and the powerful cold air field pressed down on her like an avalanche.
Bai Shanshan’s tears fell.
She looked at Gu Shimo pitifully, treating Ye Qingwan as if she was invisible.” I really saved you that night five years ago, not Ye Qingwan. The reason why her son is like you is because she seduced Gu Ziyang…”
“Yes, that’s right. She slept with Gu Ziyang, so it’s normal for her son to look like you. Believe me, our child is dead. You can’t believe the rumors just because Ye Qingwan started them.”
“Bai Shanshan, are you still lying?”
Gu Shimo sneered. His gaze on her was as sharp as a knife.” Do you think that I won’t be able to find out if you don’t say anything? Or do you think that by pretending to be crazy and acting silly, you can escape the punishment of the law?”
“What legal punishment? The law should be protecting me. I’m a legal tax-paying citizen and protected by the law. I want to sue Ye Qingwan. She stole my man. She’s a mistress, a shameless bitch.”
Pa!
Bai Shanshan’s face was beaten to the side.
She covered half of her face in pain and looked at Gu Shimo in disbelief.
“Shi Mo, I love you so much. How can you hit me? You can’t be bewitched by Ye Qingwan. Not only is she cheap, but she has also been f * cked by men. She’s a broken shoe…Ah…”
This time.
Bai Shanshan was kicked out by Gu Shimo and hit the corner of the table beside her. Her forehead immediately bled.
She raised her hand and touched it.
The next second, he raised his hand and looked at it before he shouted sharply,” Blood!”
He closed his eyes and fainted.
She fainted before she could ask anything.
She saw Gu Shimo staring at Bai Shanshan, who had fainted, with a gloomy expression.
She pursed her lips and went forward to grab his large hand. She said softly,” Older Brother, she doesn’t seem to be pretending.”
Gu Shimo retracted his gaze from Bai Shanshan. When he looked at her, he put away all his coldness and coldness. He was gentle and tender.
Chapter 158: Show Him the Picture “Even if she is not pretending, I will make her pay the price.””
Gu Shimo’s voice was very soft, as if he was saying gentle words of love.
Ye Qingwan’s heart stopped because of the restraint and forbearance in his words.
She tightened her grip on his fingers. She was clearly the one who was hurt in the whole incident, but she did not want the man beside her to be angry and blame himself because of her.
” I believe you ” blurted out.
Gu Shimo’s gaze deepened.” Wanwan, do you still want to see that person?”
“It’s gone. Tell me when you have the results.”
Ye Qingwan thought of his background.
Five years ago, Bai Shanshan and Zhao Qinlan had joined forces to harm him. It had nothing to do with him.
She said,” Brother, let’s go home. I have something to tell you.””
“Alright.”
When Gu Shimo heard that Ye Qingwan did not want to see that person, he did not force her.
The two of them walked out of the police station and Gu Feng immediately opened the car door.
When she got into the car, her phone rang.
It was a call from Zhao Qinlan.
“Shi Mo, I heard that you’ve returned from your business trip.” Did you see the post on the Internet? I didn’t expect Bai Shanshan to be such a promiscuous woman. Hurry up and hold a press conference…”
Ye Qingwan received a message on her phone.
She didn’t listen carefully to what Zhao Qinlan said.
He opened the message sent by Leng Xiaoduan.
[Sister Qing Wan, the Zhao Corporation asked us to refund their products. They said that their advertisements won’t be released.]
The Zhao Corporation had originally wanted to take advantage of Bai Shanshan and Gu Shimo’s wedding sold well their products.
Now, Bai Shanshan had some traffic, but it was all scandals.
The companies that Bai Shanshan endorsed had all canceled their contracts with her, and the Zhao Corporation was no exception.
He had already made a statement yesterday.
However, they had previously paid Qingyun Wan 50% of the money in advance.
The remaining 50% would be given to him later.
Now, Zhao Wenjue wanted to take back the 50% that he had paid, but Leng Xiaoduan rejected him directly.
This was simply a dream.
[Let’s see if they should pay us back or we should refund them.]
Ye Qingwan replied in less than a minute.
Leng Xiaoduan sent a [Yes].
She logged into her Weixin Official Accounts and saw that the number of clicks on that article had doubled compared to yesterday.
After the article was published yesterday, there were public accounts and other app media looking for them to cooperate.
These two days, everyone was extremely busy.
Ye Qingwan thought about it and went back to work in the afternoon.
Beside them, Gu Shimo and Zhao Qinlan had just finished their phone call.
A deep voice rang in her ear and interrupted her thoughts.” Wanwan, stop looking. It’s bad for your eyes to look at your phone while driving.”
As he spoke, he took the phone from her hand.
Ye Qingwan looked up and met his deep eyes.” What did she say to you?”
Gu Shimo knew that Ye Qingwan was referring to his mother, Zhao Qinlan.
“She said that she didn’t know that Bai Shanshan was such a person and asked me not to be angry with her.”
“Brother, do you really think she doesn’t know?”
Ye Qingwan smiled mockingly.
Gu Shimo frowned and his eyes darkened.” She might not have known in the past, but it’s impossible for her not to know after you’ve returned.”
“Yes, she knows far more than you and I can imagine.”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and said coldly,” She was involved in the incident five years ago. You found someone who can testify, so you should know, right?”
“Wanwan, that person only mentioned Bai Shanshan.”
Gu Shimo explained seriously.
“I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“Let me show you a photo.”
Ye Qingwan hesitated.
He decided to tell Gu Shimo the truth so that he would not be kept in the dark and think that Zhao Qinlan was his biological mother.
If one day, Zhao Niliiliao wanted to kill him, he would not be on guard.
Gu Shimo frowned.” What photo?”
Chapter 159: Give Him Some Time Ye Qingwan reached out her hand to him.” Give me the phone.””
“Here you go.”
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Shimo returned the phone to her.
However, his gaze remained on her.
Ye Qingwan took the phone, opened WeChat, and sent him the picture of the needle marks.
She said,” Look at this photo carefully.”
Gu Shimo replied,”Okay.”
He opened his WeChat and frowned when he saw the photo.
The man in the photo was obvious. It was his father when he was young.
As the woman in the photo was covered in needle marks, Gu Shimo could not recognize her immediately.
He looked away from the photo and turned to Ye Qingwan.
Her watery eyes were waiting there.
His eyes were calm.
“Do you recognize the woman in the photo?”
she asked.
Gu Shimo’s eyebrows furrowed a little.” Did you take this from the safe the other day?”
“Yes.”
“The woman in the photo is Auntie Ye’s best friend. I’ve seen that photo before.”
Gu Shimo stared at the photo for a few seconds before replying.
His voice was filled with complicated emotions.
Something flashed through his mind.
The woman in the photo looked very similar to Lu Yarou.
If Gu Shimo had not seen the photo of Ye Qingwan’s head, he would have thought that it was Ye Qingwan’s mother, Lu Yarou.
“..”
Ye Qingwan didn’t say anything.
The atmosphere in the car froze for a moment.
Gu Shimo’s eyes flashed with a change of emotion. He spoke again in a slightly hoarse voice,” Wanwan, you mean that my mother misunderstood Auntie Ye because of this photo?”
“That’s not all I wanted to tell you.”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips.
In front, Gu Feng considerately slowed down the car.
Gu Shimo did not understand and asked,” What else do you want to tell me?”
“Zhao Qinlan is at least the murderer who killed my mother. That day, I took three types of medicine from the safe and tested them.”
” Wanwan, even if she hates Auntie Ye, it’s not enough to cause her death. Just the drugs alone…”
“Big brother.”
Ye Qingwan interrupted Gu Shimo.
She said seriously,” Don’t be in a hurry to defend her. I just sent you the front and back of the photo.”
“What’s wrong with the reverse side?”
Gu Shimo suddenly felt uneasy.
He wondered if she was the one who had killed someone in the photo.
However, with Zhao Qinlan’s personality.
It was possible that she was hinting at something.
At this thought, he said calmly,” Wanwan, let me see what’s written on the back of the photo.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan had seen through his emotions. Not only did she send him the words on the back of the photo, but she also sent him the test results of the two drugs.
She did not know that Gu Shimo had already seen the list that she had posted on her WeChat moments.
This was the first time she had told him without hiding anything.
In the next few minutes.
The carriage was extremely quiet.
Gu Shimo stared at the phone screen, and the corners of Bo Yi’s lips curled up.
He had read Zhao Qinlan’s words several times.
A thought flashed through his mind, so fast that he couldn’t catch it.
However, he felt that it was too absurd and unbelievable.
He remembered when he was young, Yarou and his mother, Zhao Qinlan, did not have a good relationship, but she always treated him well.
His relationship with his father was also good.
Even after fifteen years.
He still remembered that Ye Bocheng had died in a car accident.
Lu Yarou called him over and gently entrusted Ye Qingwan to him.
He even told Ye Qingwan to listen to him.
“Brother Shi Mo.”
Ye Qingwan’s gentle voice sounded beside him.
Gu Shimo subconsciously tightened his grip on his phone. He turned around and looked at himself in her eyes.
He said calmly,” Wanwan, give me some time. I’ll find out the truth.””
Chapter 160: Find Out What Truth “What truth do you want to find out?”
Ye Qingwan looked into his deep eyes.
She sighed lightly and said softly,”Brother Shi Mo, Zhao Qinlan is not you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the urgent ringtone of his phone.
It was the phone in Gu Shimo’s hand that was ringing. The caller ID on it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.
However, the area showed that it was the place where his father, Gu Xiaoquan, taught.
Gu Shimo narrowed his eyes. He pressed the answer button with his long fingers and said,”Hello.”
An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.” Hello, do you know Mr. Gu?”
Ye Qingwan was interrupted. She had wanted to tell Gu Shimo after he finished the call.
However, she quickly saw Gu Shimo’s expression change drastically.
She only heard the person on the other end of the phone mention the name Gu Xiaoquan, but she wasn’t sure what exactly he said.
Gu Shimo’s voice rang out in the car, unable to control his emotions.” We’ll rush over immediately…”
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Qingwan called Gu Ziyang immediately after he hung up the phone and asked with concern.
Gu Shimo pursed his lips tightly, and the lines on his body tightened.
Hearing her words, he slowly turned to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Ye Qingwan’s heart tightened.
Gu Shimo’s eyes were moist, and the fingers that were holding the phone were white.
He was trying his best to control his emotions.
Wanwan, my dad got into a car accident.”
The word ‘car accident’ stunned Ye Qingwan for a moment.
“Is Uncle Gu seriously injured?”
“The caller said that he died on the spot.”
Gu Shimo used a lot of strength to say this.
Dying on the spot was an unbearable pain.
Ye Qingwan opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
Gu Shimo had already dialed Gu Ziyang’s number as he instructed Gu Feng,”Go straight to the airport.””
“Yes, sir.”
Gu Feng naturally heard what he said to Ye Qingwan.
However, he did not dare to be distracted and had to drive properly.
Gu Shimo told Gu Ziyang over the phone that he was rushing to the airport immediately. Their father had been in a car accident and they were going to pick him up.
Gu Ziyang asked if the injury was serious.
“You’ll know when you get there,” Gu Shimo said.”
After informing Gu Ziyang, he made two more calls.
One was to arrange a private jet flight.
The other was to the Left Executive.
The press conference in the afternoon could not be held.
Ye Qingwan watched as he kept his cool and made phone calls one by one. She felt a little heartbroken.
She thought of her father’s car accident and the man who had promised to buy her a present that morning. When she saw him again, no matter how much she cried, he would not open his eyes. He felt despair, helplessness, and sadness.
She pursed her lips and held out her hand to hold Gu Shimo’s large hand.
His hands were abnormally cold.
She was stunned for a moment and called out to him softly,”Brother Shi Mo.””
Gu Shimo turned to look at her.
“Do you want me to go with you?”
“No need. Just wait for me at home.”
Gu Shimo rejected him hoarsely.
He didn’t want her to see that scene again.
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan did not force herself.
However, her watery eyes were filled with heartache.
—-
When they arrived at the airport, Gu Qimo did not let Ye Qingwan get out of the car. He got out of the car himself and asked Gu Feng to send Ye Qingwan home.
On the way back.
Ye Qingwan searched the news online.
He did not find any relevant information.
Thinking of Gu Shimo’s background, she opened WeChat again and sent a message to Gu Shimo.
At the airport.
When Gu Shimo arrived, Gu Ziyang was not there yet.
He confirmed the departure time of the private jet with the person in charge of the airport.
He opened WeChat and saw a message from Qing Wan.
[Brother Shi Mo, I will not blame you for Zhao Qinlan’s mistake. When you bring Uncle Gu back, I have something important to tell you… Also, don’t believe Zhao Qinlan’s words too much. You must be wary of others.]
