Ch. 171..180
Chapter 171: Untying the Knot in His Heart “Alright.”
Ye Qingwan compromised and agreed.
It was because Gu Shimo had just lost his father.
In the future, he would be like her, a person without parents.
Ye Qingwan slept with Gu Shimo for the entire afternoon.
In the evening, she woke up first.
Although he had not rested well for the past two days, he was not like Gu Shimo, who had not slept for two days and had been guarding the house all night.
Ye Qingwan did not get up immediately. She was wrapped in Gu Shimo’s strong arms. He hugged her a little tightly. She was afraid that she would wake him up if she got up.
She wanted him to sleep a little longer, so she lay quietly on the bed.
Her gaze rested on his handsome face. The knot in her heart over the years was gradually untied.
If Zhao Qinlan hadn’t forced her to swear a death oath, she might have fallen in love with this man many years ago.
After all, when she was young, she liked to chase after him.
She felt that he was the most good-looking boy she had ever seen.
She even shouted that she wanted to be his bride when she grew up.
As her thoughts drifted away, Ye Qingwan frowned.
That night, even though Xiaoquan Gu had told her that he and Tang Ying were truly in love…And that he still loved that woman.
However, Xiaoquan Gu didn’t say anything else about the woman called Tang Ying.
“Wanwan.”
Gu Shimo woke up and saw that Ye Qingwan was in a daze. He caressed her face with his long and slender palm.
Ye Qingwan blinked and collected her thoughts.” You’re awake? Then get up.”
“Are you hungry?”
Gu Shimo glanced at the French windows. It was already dusk outside.
Ye Qingwan nodded and grabbed his hand that was rubbing her cheek.” A little.””
“Then get up for dinner.”
Gu Shimo pulled her up from the bed.
After changing into pajamas and washing up, Gu Shimo pressed Ye Qingwan onto the chair in front of the dressing table.
He picked up the comb and combed her hair slowly and gently.
She said casually,” Wanwan, let me tell you something.”
“What is it?”
Ye Qingwan looked up at him and then at the mirror.
Gu Shimo lowered his gaze and looked at her hair. His thin lips overflowed as he said in a low voice,” Zhao Qinlan is with that bodyguard called Mu Yuan.”
“Ah?”
Ye Qingwan looked up in surprise.
She frowned as he tugged at her hair.
It was not very painful. Gu Shimo pressed her head back.
She continued,” I don’t know when it happened, but they’re in A City now. Maybe they feel that they’re far away from South City and no one knows them, so they don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Doesn’t she love Uncle Gu very much?”
“I’m not sure. The Left Executive took a lot of photos for me.”
“Then, does Brother Ziyang know?”
“I told him that I’d be a goner”
Gu Shimo was now considering whether he should let Gu Ziyang work in the company.
Ye Qingwan’s phone rang.
Gu Shimo walked over and picked it up. When he saw the caller ID, his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
” Who is Yang Feng?” he asked calmly.
When Ye Qingwan heard him mention Yang Feng, she suddenly remembered that Yang Feng had said that he would arrive in South City today.
She had forgotten about this.
“Hmm?”
Seeing that she did not answer, Gu Shimo asked again.
Ye Qingwan’s gaze fell on her phone in his hand. She reached out to take it and explained,” He’s a friend I made overseas. He helped me take care of Zixi these past few years.”
“..”
Gu Shimo suddenly pursed his lips in silence.
His deep eyes locked onto Ye Qingwan.
For a man to help her take care of Zixi all these years, Gu Shimo felt that he must have some ulterior motives for her.
“Brother Shi Mo, give me your phone. I’ll answer the call first. He said that he would come to South City today.”
“..”
Gu Shimo did not say anything.
He handed her the phone, but he didn’t leave or avoid her.
His tall and slender body stood firmly beside her chair, his eyes dark as he watched her answer the phone.
Chapter 172: Jealous Ye Qingwan had no intention of asking Gu Shimo to leave.
Yang Feng and her were just good friends. There was nothing like what Gu Shimo thought.
She pressed the answer button and just then, she heard a ” Hello.”
Yang Feng’s complaints came from the phone.” Wanwan, be honest. Did you forget about me at the airport?”
Ye Qingwan’s mouth twitched and she explained awkwardly,” Well, I’m sorry. Something happened in the past two days.”
“Then let me remind you now. Are you coming to the airport to pick me up?”
“Are you still at the airport?”
Ye Qingwan didn’t dare to believe that she was a man of great power.
Yang Feng was hurt by her words.” If you don’t pick me up, I’ll still be at the airport. I called you but you didn’t pick up. You didn’t reply to my messages. Aren’t you too heartless?”
“I’ll pick you up now. Just wait.”
“That’s enough. I’m in 1587 now. Bring Zixi over.”
After ending the call, Ye Qingwan placed her phone on the dressing table.
She saw that Gu Shimo was still frowning with an ugly expression.
She reached out to grab his big hand.
Gu Shimo lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on her hand.
Her fingers were slender and fair, and the image of them clashing with his slender and well-defined fingers easily aroused his possessiveness towards her.
He had not rested for the past few days because of his father’s funeral.
When he came back in the afternoon, he simply hugged her to catch up on sleep.
He did not do anything else.
Now that he had slept enough, he was back to his original state of mind.
That thought also came to mind.
His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed.
His other hand caressed Ye Qingwan’s delicate face.
He leaned over and kissed her soft lips.
The big hand that she was holding pulled away from her hand and grabbed her slender waist, pressing her directly against the dressing table behind her.
Ye Qingwan looked up and her soft body leaned back.
It was unknown if it was because of that posture, but the stimulation of his senses was amplified in an instant.
It was because he had not done it for a few days.
Soon, she felt something and could not help but respond to him.
“Wanwan.”
He placed her on the dressing table and bent down.
A moment later.
Ye Qingwan’s mind exploded with fireworks. She tightened her body and hugged his head tightly.
Even his voice was broken.” Brother…” Don’t…”
—-
Downstairs.
Gu Ziyang opened his eyes and saw Ye Zixi stroking his stubble.
“Uncle Ziyang, you’re awake?”
“Yes.”
Gu Ziyang sat up and reached out to hold Zixi.
Zixi’s heart ached as she hugged him. She asked in a tender voice,” Uncle Ziyang, do you want to shave your beard?””
“Is it ugly?”
Gu Ziyang did not come back with Gu Shimo, Ye Qingwan, and the others.
He was half an hour behind.
When she arrived, Gu Mo and Ye Qingwan had already gone upstairs to rest.
He didn’t want to go back to that house, so he fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.
Ye Zixi shook his head.” It’s not ugly. Uncle Ziyang is handsome no matter what, but you look more energetic without a beard.””
What a tactful Zixi.
Gu Ziyang’s heart felt warm and sour.
She stared at Zixi for a while before pulling him into her arms again. She said softly,” Then, Zixi, hug Uncle Ziyang again. Uncle Ziyang will go shave later, okay?””
“Alright, Uncle Ziyang, be good.”
Zixi not only hugged Gu Ziyang.
He even used his little hand to caress Gu Ziyang’s head and coaxed him softly.
Gu Ziyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He felt that his heart had softened because of Zixi.
She carried him down from the sofa.
Gu Ziyang held Zixi’s hand and said,” Let’s go upstairs and see where your uncle’s razor is. Can I borrow it?””
“Alright, I know where Uncle’s razor is.”
Zixi’s eyes sparkled.
He had wanted to go upstairs to call his mother and uncle just now.
However, Uncle Gu Feng said that his uncle and mother had not had a good rest for the past two days and could not be disturbed.
Chapter 173: I Love You Too As expected.
Gu Ziyang held Ye Zixi’s hand as they walked to the stairs, but they were stopped by Gu Feng.
“Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s resting.”
Gu Feng said in a very reserved manner.
Zi Xi did not understand.
However, Gu Ziyang had to understand.
Realizing the hidden meaning behind Gu Feng’s words, his heart seemed to be pricked by something.
He pursed his thin lips and looked down at Ye Zixi. His eyes met with Ye Zixi’s big, puzzled eyes.
He said stiffly,” I’m not going to disturb my brother’s rest. I’m just going up to borrow his razor.”
Gu Feng’s eyes flashed with hesitation.
But when he thought about the relationship between his master and Miss Wanwan, he still hadn’t told Little Young Master Zi Xi.
He still shook his head.
“Second Young Master, give me a call before you go up.”
Gu Ziyang’s expression changed.
It was not because Gu Feng was in a difficult position.
He nodded.” Alright.”
She took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Gu Shimo’s number.
Upstairs, the air in the master bedroom was filled with the scent of hormones.
Gu Shimo called Ye Qingwan’s name over and over again.
“Wanwan.”
“Wanwan.”
“Don’t leave me.”
He pressed her against the tightly shut curtains, and his desire was intense and crazy.
The blue curtains swayed happily. Ye Qingwan’s rationality fell apart under his impact. Her neck was covered in hickeys.
The ringing of the phone did not affect them.
Instead, it became the background music that helped.
It was mixed with Ye Qingwan’s broken voice.
It was as if no one wanted to be covered.
In the end, Gu Shimo coaxed her and asked,” Wanwan, do you love me?”At that moment.
Not only did Ye Qingwan lose her mind, but she also lost her strength.
She only vaguely and perfunctorily replied,”Mm.”
Gu Shimo’s lips curled into a warm smile as he kissed her in satisfaction and happiness.” I love you too.”
—-
When everything was calm.
Two hours later.
Ye Qingwan did not have the slightest strength to allow Gu Shimo to carry her in to wash up.
Then, he placed her on the bed.
She pulled the quilt and covered it with her strength.
He only felt one word: tired.
Gu Shimo covered her with the blanket and went to the cloakroom to look for clothes. He had thrown her pajamas on the floor earlier.
At this moment, she was still lying there, overlapping with his clothes, looking extremely intimate.
“Wearing pajamas, I’m going to be in a hurry.”
Gu Shimo came out wearing casual clothes and holding a set of pajamas in his hand.
She only took her pajamas.
Ye Qingwan blinked.” What else?”
“What else?”
Gu Shimo asked, his handsome face serious.
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows and whispered,”The underwear inside the tunnel.””
“I forgot.”
He placed the clothes on the bed in front of her and went back to get them.
“..”
Ye Qingwan’s face was burning.
She thought of how he had pressed her down on the dressing table just now.
He began to lean down, and then he squatted directly in front of her…
“Are you hot? Why is your face so red?”
When Gu Shimo came out again, he was holding a pair of black lace pants.
It was still a T-shaped.
The small round black flower was embroidered on the transparent silk surface.
Her face was already burning hot, but when she saw the pants in his palm, she felt a wave of heat rush to her head.
“Are you having a fever again? Your face is so red.”
Gu Shimo reached out to touch Ye Qingwan’s face.
She dodged.
She glared at him and grabbed the clothes that were spread out in his palm.
When he went in just now, she had already taken her pajamas and put them on.
His long and narrow eyes stared at the hickey on her collarbone. He asked hoarsely,” Do you need my help?””
“No need.”
Ye Qingwan finished her sentence.
Gu Shimo hummed in acknowledgment.
He lifted the blanket off her.
“It’s so hot and you’re still covering yourself with a blanket. Get up and put it on.”
Ye Qingwan subconsciously licked her lips under his burning gaze. She felt more embarrassed to put on her clothes in front of him than to not wear anything.
I want to send him away, I’m hungry, you go down and see if you can have dinner, okay?”
Chapter 174: Don’t Want to Go Home “Alright.”
After Gu Shimo packed up his clothes and entered the bathroom, he went downstairs to bring her dinner.
Ye Qingwan slowly got out of bed and went to the cloakroom to find a more conservative set of pajamas.
After some thought, she put away the pajamas and underwear that Gu Shimo had bought for her and placed them in the box beside her.
When Gu Shimo went downstairs, Gu Ziyang and Ye Zixi had already had dinner.
The two of them were sitting on the living room floor, playing Lego.
Gu Ziyang and Ye Zixi looked up at the same time when they saw him coming down the stairs.
At the same time, he shouted,
“Brother.”
“Uncle.”
Ye Zixi quickly got up and threw herself into Gu Shimo’s arms. She looked up and asked,” Uncle, you’re finally awake. Uncle Cai Ziyang called you just now, but you weren’t awake yet. You didn’t know.””
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo stroked Ye Zixi’s head.
She looked at Gu Ziyang, who was standing up.
“Uncle, Uncle Ziyang needs to use your razor.”
“Ziyang, aren’t you going back?”
Gu Shimo did not answer.
Gu Ziyang’s expression changed slightly.” I don’t want to go back.”
That home was no longer the home of the company.
He still couldn’t help but accept that Zhao Qinlan was with a bodyguard.
He didn’t even come back for Gu Xiaoquan’s funeral.
Gu Shimo took in his emotions and said calmly,” If you don’t want to go back, I’ll ask Wanwan later to let you stay here for two days?”
“Alright.”
Gu Ziyang nodded immediately.
Then he said,” Do you have a new razor here? I want to shave my beard.”
“Yes.”
“Where is it? I’ll go get it.”
” In my room, in the bathroom cabinet. I’ll get it for you later.””
Gu Shimo went into the kitchen to get some food. When he went upstairs, Gu Ziyang and Ye Zixi followed behind him.
When he reached upstairs, he went into his room first and took a razor for Gu Ziyang.
Then, she brought the food to Ye Qingwan’s room.
Zixi wanted to look for her mother but was stopped by Gu Shimo.
“Zixi, Uncle Ziyang came to our house in the living room. As the little master, you have to accompany Uncle Ziyang. This is a matter of courtesy.”
“Alright then, I’ll accompany Uncle Ziyang. Tell Mom that I’ll accompany her later.”
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo returned to his room and saw that Ye Qingwan had changed into her pajamas. He raised his eyebrows.
After placing the food on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Gu Shimo went over and carried Ye Qingwan, who had just gotten out of bed, onto the sofa.
The two of them ate dinner together.
Gu Shimo mentioned that Gu Ziyang was still here.” Wanwan, Ziyang said that he doesn’t want to go back. Can you accept him staying here for two days?”
Gu Ziyang was no less affected than Gu Shimo.
When the two of them lost their father, one of them found out that his biological mother was someone else and died when she gave birth to him.
One of them found out that her mother was with her bodyguard and was happily traveling in a different place.
“You want him to stay here?”
Ye Qingwan asked instead of answering.
She did not hate Gu Ziyang.
However, wasn’t it not a good idea for him to stay here?
Gu Shimo explained in a low voice,” Ziyang is a more innocent person, unlike Zhao Qinlan. If you agree, I’ll let him stay here for a few days.”
“I don’t care.”
“Then I’ll tell him later.”
After dinner, Gu Shimo went downstairs with the bowl and chopsticks. Gu Ziyang had already left.
He sent a message to Gu Shimo.
[Brother, I’m going to City A to get Mom back. You take good care of Zixi and Wanwan.]
Ye Zixi followed him upstairs and went to the room to look for Ye Qingwan.
Gu Shimo watched as he entered the room and went to Ye Bocheng’s study room on the second floor.
He took out the photo album of the Ye family and flipped to the last page.
It was a photo of Ye Qingwan’s mother, Lu Yarou, and his mother, Tang Ying.
It was different from the photo that Zhao Qinlan had pierced with needle marks.
The woman in the photo was gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile.
Chapter 175: Yun Cheng Hotel Safe Gu Shimo sat in the study for a long time.
The door of the study was pushed open from the outside and Ye Qingwan walked in.
He got up and walked out from behind the desk.” Wanwan, why are you here? Where’s Zixi?””
Ye Qingwan sized him up.
She looked into his deep eyes and said calmly,” I only came over after Zixi fell asleep. Have you been here all this time?”
“..”
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
She lowered her head and looked at her watch.
Only then did he realize that it had been two hours since he had entered the study.
“What are you doing in this room?”
Ye Qingwan held the man’s long palm to her face and looked at him gently.
Gu Shimo’s lips curled slightly, and a hint of warmth appeared in his deep eyes that reflected her shadow.
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the corner of her mouth. Then, he held her hand and led her to the desk, letting her sit on the chair.
When Ye Qingwan saw the photo on the desk and looked up at Gu Shimo, her gentle eyes were mixed with a hint of heartache.
She said softly,” If you want to know more, you should be able to find out.”
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo closed the photo album.
She said in a low voice,” My dad has some things in the safe at Yuncheng Hotel. Come with me to get them.””
“How did you know?”
Ye Qingwan looked at him in surprise.
Gu Shimo was silent for a while, and a hint of sadness flashed across his deep eyes.
“There is a key on his key. It is the key to the safe of Yun Cheng Hotel.”
“Do you want to go now?”
“Yes, Zixi is asleep. If you’re not sleepy, we’ll go now.”
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
Gu Shimo pulled her up from the chair, held her hand, and walked out of the study room. They went back to the bedroom to change their clothes.

At the airport.
Before Gu Ziyang boarded the plane, he called Zhao Qinlan twice.
No one picked up.
He wanted to call the hotel she was staying at to find her, but he still hung up.
He was still hoping that he would get lucky.
She hoped that the ambiguous photo that Zuo Zhi had taken was just a misunderstanding and coincidence.
He hoped that Zhao Qinlan wouldn’t come back to send off Xiaoquan Gu because she was heartless.
After entering the cabin, he sat down and heard the person next to him make a call.” Sister Qing Wan, I’ll contact you when I get there. Yes, it should be fine.””
Qing Wan’s name attracted his attention.
He turned around and saw that the young girl sitting in the other seat looked familiar.
Sensing his gaze, the other party also turned to look.
Their gazes met.
A trace of surprise flashed in the young girl’s eyes. Seeing him staring at her, she took the initiative to greet him.” What a coincidence?”
Gu Ziyang finally remembered.
This was a person from Ye Qingwan’s company. The other day, when he went to find Ye Qingwan, it was this girl who led the way.
“You’re from Wanwan’s company? Hello.”
“My name is Leng Xiaoduan.”
“..”
Leng Xiaoduan?
Gu Ziyang was surprised again.
Leng Xiaoduan saw that he was looking at her with that kind of gaze. She smiled indifferently and said,” Yes, he’s the fatty who used to weigh 200 pounds.”
“You’re really different from before.”
Gu Ziyang sounded surprised.
He knew Leng Xiao Duan. Leng Xiao and Leng Xiao Duan grew up with Ye Qingwan.
Even during the ten years that Ye Qingwan lived in the Gu family, she did not completely cut off contact with the Leng siblings.
However…
In the past, Little Duan Leng was as fat as a ball. He had once thought that she could roll far away like a ball when she rolled on the ground.
But now, she had beautiful and slim facial features.
She had good looks and temperament, and she was dressed fashionably.
“Yeah, I said it before, I won’t always be fat.”
Leng Xiaoduan raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.
She didn’t know if this man in front of her remembered laughing at her for being as fat as a pig with other boys.
Gu Ziyang’s memory was pulled back by Leng Xiaoduan to that afternoon many years ago.
Chapter 176: The Secret in the Safe “..”
Gu Ziyang wanted to apologize for what happened back then, but Leng Xiaoduan had already left his seat and went to the back to change seats with someone.

City A.
Zhao Qinlan and Mu Yuan played for two days and changed to another hotel, which was closer to the next scenic spot.
The two of them returned to the hotel hand in hand like a couple.
Mu Yuan prepared a bath for Zhao Qinlan and let her take a shower first.
“Aren’t you going to shower with me?”
Zhao Qinlan asked as she took the pajamas.
Mu Yuan pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.” Okay.””
The two of them fought all the way to the bathroom, and their clothes were thrown all over the floor.
After that, Zhao Qinlan quickly fell asleep.
Mu Yuan sat on the sofa and turned on his phone.
On the Internet, news about Xiaoquan Gu had already faded. Basically, he could not be seen anymore.
There were a few missed calls, and two of them were from Zhao Wenjue.
Mu Yuan looked at his two missed calls. After smoking a cigarette, he dialed Zhao Wenjue’s number.
At this moment.
South City.
Yuncheng Hotel.
The manager led Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan to the safe.
He asked,” Has anyone opened this safe recently?”
“No, no one has been here for years.”
“How many keys are there?”
“Two.”
“Are the two keys in Mr. Gu’s hands?”
“No, we have one with us. In case the VIP loses the key, we can’t open the safe.”
Gu Shimo did not ask further.
When they reached the safe, the manager left.
He opened the safe and saw an exquisite wooden box inside.
“This is locked by Lu Ban. Brother Shi Mo, do you know how to open it?”
Ye Qingwan’s voice rang beside him.
Gu Shimo turned to look at her. He did not answer her question.” We’ll drive when we get home.””
“Oh.”
Ye Qingwan was curious about what was inside.
She felt that it should be the past between Gu Xiaoquan and Tang Yi.
When they left, the manager sent them to the door.
As he watched Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan leave, the manager muttered to himself,” The person who stored the items has never come once. Instead, the wife and son take turns to come.”
On the way back.
Ye Qingwan kept holding Gu Shimo’s hand.
After returning to the Ye family villa, Gu Shimo placed the wooden box on the coffee table.
Under Ye Qingwan’s surprised gaze, he skillfully opened the box with Luban’s lock.
At the top was a stack of photos of Gu Shimo’s biological mother, Tang Ying.
Gu Shimo took out the photos and flipped through them one by one.
In the photo, Tang Ying was either standing, sitting, facing, or facing sideways.
Some were laughing, some were in a daze, and some were squatting by the roadside to pull grass.
Ye Qingwan called out softly,”Brother Shi Mo.”
Gu Shimo pursed his lips. He held the photo in one hand and pulled her into his embrace with the other, letting her sit on his lap.
“I didn’t expect him to still have so many photos.”
“Yeah, Uncle Gu said that he fell in love with Auntie Tang at first sight, but unfortunately…”
“So what if I fell in love at first sight? I can’t give her happiness.”
Gu Shimo’s tone was a little cold.
“..”
Ye Qingwan was speechless.
She only leaned into his arms, and the figure was even closer to him to give him warmth.
Gu Shimo sensed her intentions. He tightened his grip on her waist and placed the photo on the coffee table.
She picked up the pink notebook.
On the page, there was a sentence: I like you every day.
Gu Shimo flipped to the first page. It was a comic.
This was somewhat unexpected.
He had thought that she remembered the diary.
In the manga, the girl bumped into the boy and the biscuits in her hand fell to the ground.
The location was the library.
There was an annotation beside it.
“So Auntie Tang is such a good comic artist.”
“It’s pretty good.”
Gu Shimo put down the notebook with mixed feelings.
He continued to take the items from the wooden box.
There were a few gifts below, all handmade.
At the bottom was a letter.
On the envelope, it was written,” To Tang Ying.”
Gu Shimo opened the envelope and took out two pieces of paper.
One was a letter from Professor Gu to Tang Ying.
There was also a piece of paper with only two lines of words on it.
However, Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo’s expressions changed at the same time.
Chapter 177: No One Will Suspect You Chairman, I’ve made the arrangements according to your instructions. Ye Bocheng will definitely die this time. If you go on a business trip for half a month and come back, no one will suspect you.
The date was exactly fifteen years ago, a week before Ye Bocheng’s car accident.
It was signed by the person in charge of the research and development project of the Gu Corporation.
It was also the person who was friends with Ye Bocheng, as mentioned by Xiaoquan Gu.
Ye Qingwan’s brain was buzzing.
His eyes widened as he saw the handwriting on the old piece of paper.
Xiaoquan Gu said that her parents were his good friends.
He would not harm his friends.
But now.
Ye Qingwan felt like she couldn’t think.
Something collapsed.
She realized that she was sitting on Gu Shimo’s lap and was about to stand up in a panic.
The man’s large hand around her waist suddenly tightened.
The sound of ” Wanwan ” with mixed emotions fell into her ears like a huge rock smashing into her heart, causing her to feel a suffocating pain.
“Brother Shi Mo, can you let go first?”
Ye Qingwan’s thoughts were in a mess. She had no ability to think now.
Only those two lines of words played uncontrollably in his mind over and over again.
She didn’t even know what she should do next.
Gu Shimo’s deep voice knocked on her eardrums.” Calm down before you figure it out.”
Calm Down
Ye Qingwan sneered.
In black and white.
This could be used as evidence, right?
Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that the evidence she had been looking for for so long would be presented in front of her in such a way. She wanted to escape from Gu Shimo’s embrace now.
However, Gu Shimo did not allow her to escape.” Wanwan, I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say now. Now that my father is gone, I can’t question him. I can’t even find a reason to convince you.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart suddenly ached.
The pain spread inch by inch to his limbs and bones.
In the end.
Even breathing was painful.
“Wanwan, although I don’t know what’s going on, I’ll find out the truth and give you an explanation. I wasn’t lying to you before, and I wasn’t just saying it.”
“Brother Shi Mo, can you stop talking?”
“I won’t say.”
Gu Shimo only hugged her tightly.
Ye Qingwan couldn’t break free, so she closed her eyes.
—-
In the Zhao family.
Zhao Wenjue sat on the sofa and listened to Mu Yuan say on the other end of the phone,” Old Master, I’ll be back in a few days.””
“Doesn’t Qinlan know about the death of the school?”
Zhao Wenjue asked.
Mu Yuan laughed on the other end of the phone and replied,” I don’t know. She didn’t bring her phone or go online these few days.”
“That’s good. Work hard to gain her trust and convince her to let Gu Ziyang join the Gu Corporation. Now that Professor Gu was dead, he could not let that bastard Gu Shimo eat the fat meat of the Gu Corporation.”
From Zhao Wenjue’s point of view, as long as he got the Gu Corporation and chased Gu Shimo out of the company, it would not be a problem for him to send Gu Shimo to jail, let alone save his son.
However, Zhao Qinlan had always said that she had to respect Zi Yang’s wishes.
He didn’t want to do business, but he liked to create.
She wouldn’t force him. Anyway, Gu Shimo was making money in the company. Her goal was to control Gu Shimo like a puppet.
She treated him as a money-making tool.
But now, Gu Shimo, this puppet, was clearly unwilling to listen.
Zhao Qinlan was still hesitating.
“Alright, I will work hard.”
Mu Yuan said perfunctorily to Zhao Wenjue.
He was standing in front of the French window, looking at Zhao Qinlan who was fast asleep on the big bed.
He would work hard to gain Zhao Qinlan’s trust.
But not for the Zhao family.
He, Mu Yuan, had to think for himself.
Zhao Qinlan was a lonely woman who lacked a man. He only needed to fill her loneliness and satisfy her every day.
She didn’t need to say anything. Just like this afternoon, she transferred the money to him herself.
Chapter 178: Enemy After the call, Mu Yuan went to bed and hugged the sleeping Zhao Qinlan into his arms.
He searched for the price of a villa in A City on the Internet.
His first goal was to buy a villa by the river.
It would be best if he went to see it tomorrow.
The Gu family was the number one noble family in South City.
As the wife of the richest family, Zhao Qinlan would never lack money.
After Mu Yuan woke Zhao Qinlan up, he whispered into her ear,” Qinlan, let’s buy a villa in A City. That way, we don’t have to stay in a hotel and have our own home.””
Zhao Qinlan was happy to be served by him again.
Hearing that he wanted their home, she was naturally happy.
Without needing Mu Yuan to say anything, she took the initiative to say,” Alright, we’ll go and take a look tomorrow.”
Mu Yuan’s goal had been achieved, so he worked even harder.
—-
South City.
At the Ye Family villa.
In the end, Gu Shimo let go of Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan, who had been freed, did not leave immediately. Her gaze fell on the piece of evidence in Gu Shimo’s hand.
“Can I take a photo?”
She asked coldly.
Gu Shimo nodded silently.
There was a layer of coldness between his handsome brows.
The fingers holding the paper were long and slender, with distinct knuckles.
Ye Qingwan took three photos.
Pursing her lips, she turned around and left the study.
The study suddenly fell silent.
Gu Shimo looked at the words on the paper and pursed his lips into a cold straight line.
He remembered that he had asked his father, Gu Xiaoquan, twice before and the answer he got was the same.
Moreover, the dean had always been supportive of his relationship with Wanwan.
He didn’t believe that the entire school would kill his friend.
However, the evidence was in his safe.
Why was that?
Gu Shimo put the rest of the things back into the safe and kept the piece of evidence with him.
She got up, left the study, and went downstairs.
In the master bedroom.
Ye Qingwan sat on the bed with a pillow in her arms, staring blankly at the photo she had just taken.
There was evidence.
Her father was killed by Gu Xiaoquan, and her mother was killed by Zhao Qinlan.
However, she was unwilling to believe it.
If Gu Xiaoquan killed her father, then Gu Xiaoquan would also be Leng Xiao’s enemy.
Ye Qingwan was conflicted again.
Gu Shimo said that he would find out the truth and give her an explanation.
Should she trust him again?
Or should he send this piece of evidence to Leng Xiao?
His phone rang.
It was from Leng Xiaoduan.
[Sister Qingwan, I’m already at the hotel. I’ll rest tonight and contact you tomorrow.]]
Leng Xiaoduan was on a business trip to A City.
A company from City A wanted to cooperate with their official account.
She went over to understand the situation.
Ye Qingwan looked at Leng Xiaoduan’s message for a while and replied.
[Yes.]
[Sister Qingwan, I met Gu Ziyang on the plane. He was on the same flight as me.]
[Oh.]
Ye Qingwan was in a bad mood and didn’t want to chat.
On the other end of the phone, Leng Xiaoduan saw that she had replied word by word.
He thought that she was spending some alone time with Gu Shimo, or that she was comforting Gu Shimo, whose father had died.
After sending a goodnight emoticon, he didn’t send any more messages.
Ye Qingwan found Ji Tianheng’s profile picture from her contacts and clicked on it.
She hesitated. Should she send him the photo of the evidence and ask him if there was enough evidence?
However, when he looked at the time, it was already past eleven o’clock.
She exited the chat interface again.
It was better to wait until tomorrow.

Gu Shimo sat on the sofa in the living room and smoked one cigarette after another.
He smoked a few cigarettes in a row.
The room was filled with smoke.
His handsome eyebrows were separated by the smoke, making him look cold and indifferent.
Footsteps came from the entrance.
Then, the Left Executive’s voice sounded,” Master, cough…” Why do you smoke so much?”
“Look at this.”
Gu Shimo looked up at him, lowered his head, and extinguished the half-smoked cigarette in his hand in the ashtray.
Chapter 179: Find Out the Truth The Left Executive picked up the paper on the coffee table and looked at it in confusion.
Two minutes later.
His voice rang out again.” Master, where did this thing come from?”
Gu Shimo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zuo Zhi with a dark gaze.
“You don’t believe me, do you?”
The Left Executive nodded heavily.
Shaking his head again,”Master Yu, this is not possible, the former chairman is upright, these years he treats Miss Wanwan as his own, how could he harm Miss Wanwan Wanwan’s father?””
“I also think it’s impossible, but the evidence is here.”
The reason why Gu Shimo had let Zuo Zhi see this evidence was because…
It was because Zuo Zhi had been adopted by his father, Gu Xiaoquan.
Zuo Zhi’s parents died early, and he became an unwanted orphan. His relatives treated him like a plague.
Gu Xiaoquan brought him back.
Later on, Zuo Zhi had been by Gu Shimo’s side.
“Master, this thing?”
“I took it out of the safe in Yuncheng Hotel and put it together with some of my dad’s personal belongings.”
A dark glint flashed across Gu Shimo’s dark eyes.
He ordered coldly,” Go and check the Yuncheng Hotel tomorrow…”
“That’s a hotel under the Ji clan’s banner. Master, should we directly inform the Ji clan?”
“Hmm, how is Zhao Qinlan?”
Gu Shimo changed the topic and asked.
Zuo Zhiyi then relayed the news that had been sent back to Gu Shimo.” Zhao Qinlan and Mu Yuan are having a heated fight. They are checking in at each scenic spot. Today, they have switched to another hotel…” Master, should I send you the new photos?”
“No need.”
Gu Shimo rejected indifferently.
He didn’t want to see photos of Zhao Qinlan cheating on him.” Ziyang went to A City. Did you find her?”
“Second Young Master went to the hotel they stayed at before but couldn’t find them. Didn’t he call you?”
“No, I haven’t.”
As soon as Gu Shimo finished speaking.
The phone rang.
It was a call from Gu Ziyang.
He glanced at it and pressed the answer button with his long fingers.” Hello, Ziyang.””
“Brother, I can’t find Mom. The hotel staff said that she checked out today. Do you know where she is now?”
“Wait a moment.”
Gu Shimo asked Zuo Zhi, who was beside him,” Which hotel did they change to?””
The Left Executive told him the name of the hotel and the address in detail.
“I know, brother. I’ll go look for her first.”
Gu Ziyang’s gloomy voice was heard. Gu Shimo frowned and said,” It’s too late today. You don’t have to look for her. Just wait for her tomorrow morning.””
“Alright, I’ll wait for her tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up, Gu Ziyang took a taxi to the hotel and address that Director Zuo had given him.
It wasn’t a very long journey.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at the hotel.
He booked the room next to Zhao Qinlan at the front desk.
He took the key card upstairs and went to the room he had booked. When he opened the door, he glanced at the room next door.
The door was closed.
The room was soundproof, and no sound could be heard from inside.
Mu Ziyang pursed his lips and opened the door to his room.
Just as he stepped into the room, the door diagonally opposite opened.
A familiar voice entered his ears.” Brother, I got it. Take good care of sister-in-law and nephew. When we go back, I’ll bring you some local specialties.”
Leng Xiaoduan’s voice was not loud.
It was even deliberately suppressed.
She held her phone in one hand and a trash bag in the other.
When she met Gu Ziyang’s eyes, she was stunned.
In the next moment, she frowned.
Leng Xiaoduan felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
However, Gu Ziyang’s expression was a little stiff.
He didn’t want to meet anyone he knew.
He thought of his mother and her lover living in the room next door, and then he thought of the relationship between Leng Xiaoduan and Ye Qingwan.
Gu Ziyang was too embarrassed to talk to Leng Xiaoduan. He quickly entered the room and closed the door.
“..”
In the corridor, Leng Xiaoduan shrugged, threw away the trash, and returned to his room.
Chapter 180: Don’t Ignore Me That night.
Gu Shimo did not go to Ye Qingwan’s room.
Ye Qingwan didn’t know when she fell asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, her phone was still beside her pillow.
When she opened her eyes, there was no one beside her. She got out of bed and washed up.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard familiar footsteps in the corridor. Her body froze for a moment.
The footsteps stopped outside her door, followed by the sound of the door being turned.
She turned around and saw the door open from the outside. Gu Shimo’s tall figure was standing at the door.
Against the light, his eyes were as dark as a lake.
He was wearing a gray shirt and black trousers, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of coldness.
Their gazes met through the air. Gu Shimo spoke first and strode towards her.” Zixi is doing the horse stance with Gu Feng outside. Breakfast is ready. You can go downstairs now.””
“Alright.”
The atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.
Ye Qingwan replied with a single syllable and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Pick up the milk and pat the face with the water.
Gu Shimo stopped a few steps away for two seconds before he came in front of her. His tall and slender figure stood behind her as he watched her slowly apply the water to her face in the mirror.
Her skin was smooth and fair.
However, her eyes were too cold, and her entire person was cold and distant.
Gu Shimo did not want to see her like this.
He liked the way she smiled.
She couldn’t help but call out,” Wanwan.”
Ye Qingwan paused for a second before she continued.
Gu Shimo watched as she finished patting the water. He turned her chair around with his large palm so that she was facing him.
He bent down and caressed her cheek with his long fingers. He felt her body stiffen under his palm and his heart tightened.
His eyes darkened.
He pursed his thin lips tightly, his warm fingers caressing her cheek.
Ye Qingwan lowered her eyes and refused to look at him.
However, she did not shake off his hand.
No one knew what he was thinking.
She was clearly right in front of him, but Gu Shimo felt that she was so far away that he could not catch her.
Her face was too small.
His palm covered half of her face, and his fingers moved down to her chin.
He hooked it lightly.
She was forced to look up.
Their gazes met.
His Adam’s apple bobbed.
He slowly leaned over her.
Ye Qingwan wanted to avoid him when he was about to touch her red lips.
However, his other hand held the back of her head and he kissed her lips gently.
Her chin.
Her fair neck.
It was as soft and warm as the spring rain.
Ye Qingwan didn’t move. Her body was stiff.
Gu Shimo kissed her for a long time but saw that she was indifferent.
A sense of frustration rose in his heart. His thin lips returned to her lips and he muttered,” Wanwan.”
Ye Qingwan blinked.
So, she still heard it.
Gu Shimo said in a low voice,” Let’s go to Yuncheng Hotel together after breakfast.”
“For what?”
She was finally willing to talk.
Gu Shimo heaved a sigh of relief.” Although this thing was in the safe and in the letter that my father wrote to my mother, it’s also possible that this thing was placed inside without my father’s knowledge.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and said nothing.
“Wanwan, I still believe in my dad’s character. If he really harmed Uncle Ye, he wouldn’t have told me that he wanted to seek justice for Auntie Ye if Zhao Qinlan was the one who killed her.”
” He said that?”
Ye Qingwan’s eyes changed.
Gu Shimo nodded.
With a serious expression, he said,” Yes, I called him the other day and told him the test results of the two drugs…That’s why he was in a hurry to come back.”
“..”
“Wanwan, if my dad really harmed Uncle Ye and he’s no longer around, you can take revenge on me.”
“..”
“If you find out the truth and it’s not him, then don’t ignore me anymore, okay?”
