Ch. 241..250
Chapter 241: The Female Parents Treat Me to Dinner Chapter 241: The Female Parents Treat Me to Dinner “The children are all great.”
“Yes, Father Zixi, you’re right. Children who can enter this school are all very good.”
Even if the child was not that outstanding, the parents were still outstanding.
Ordinary families could not enter this aristocratic kindergarten.
It was unknown if the next segment was a coincidence or something else.
The female parent brought her daughter and followed closely behind Gu Shimo.
When they rolled from the blanket to the other side, the instructor had yet to call them mother and daughter.
The female parent quickly placed her daughter on the blanket and then lay down, urging her daughter to get lost.
Gu Shimo’s focus was not on anyone else but Ye Zixi, so he did not pay too much attention to her.
At the end of the drill, Gu Shimo was explaining to Ye Zixi how to use the fire extinguisher.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside her,” Zixi’s father, you’re so amazing. You cry at all kinds of fire extinguishing.
He knew her so well. I didn’t understand what the instructor said just now. Can you explain it to me?”
They sat in the first row, so Gu Shimo did not really listen to the instructor’s explanation.
When he heard her words, he only said lightly,” Go up and ask the instructor later. He will tell you.””
Then, she lowered her head and spoke to Ye Zixi.
The woman smiled awkwardly and didn’t ask further.
When the instructor asked which parent was willing to go up and try, she quickly raised her hand.
She was invited up.
Before taking the fire extinguisher, the other party glanced at Gu Shimo.
When she reached out to take the fire extinguisher, her hand slipped or something.
The fire extinguisher left the instructor’s hand, but she did not hold it firmly.
It fell straight down.
The fire extinguisher was about to hit the people in the front row. Gu Shimo’s eyes changed slightly as he quickly reached out to catch it.
The instructor was also shocked.
Seeing that Gu Shimo had caught the fire extinguisher, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After coming down.
The female parent thanked Gu Shimo apologetically and gratefully.” Zixi’s father, it’s all thanks to you just now. My name is He Meijuan. After the drill is over, can I treat you and Zixi to a meal? Thank you for saving me just now.”
“No need.”
Gu Shimo had always been cold to women.
However, He Meijuan insisted,” How can I do that? If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would have hurt someone.” Just thinking about that scene made my heart beat faster. Zixi and our Xiaoran are classmates…”
“I’m not free, so you don’t have to take it to heart. It was just an accident.”
Gu Shimo interrupted He Meijuan.
“Then, can I go and buy some snacks with Zixi? Otherwise, I’ll really feel bad. I’ll always remember.”
“..”
Gu Shimo ignored He Meijuan.
Instead, she held Zixi’s hand and got up to get some water.
Since Leng Xiao had already washed the diapers, Leng Xiaoduan did not let him into the kitchen.
She asked him to accompany Yu Xin and help take care of the child.
She and Ye Qingwan had made lunch together, and Yu Xin’s lunch was strictly based on her dining standards.
After lunch, the nanny washed the dishes.
Leng Xiao said to Yu Xin, who was leaning against the sofa,” Little Duan, Wanwan, and I are going to the cemetery later.” It won’t be long. Call me if you need anything.”
Yu Xin looked up at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan was playing with the child, smiling gently and beautifully.
She felt a little uncomfortable.
However, when she thought about how well Leng Xiao had treated her recently, she suppressed the jealousy in her heart.
He smiled and said,” Xiao, you’re worried about me even though you’re visiting Dad and Mom at the cemetery. You’ll make me look like a cripple. Qing Wan will laugh at you.” I remember that Qing Wan gave birth to Zixi and took care of the child alone while working. Now that I have you to help me, I really feel so blessed.”
“Okay, let auntie take care of the baby. You can take a nap.”
It was unknown if Leng Xiao had heard the meaning in Yu Xin’s words.
Then, he called Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan out of the house.
In the bedroom.
When Yu Xin heard the sound of the door closing, her mood instantly turned from good to bad.
She handed the child to the nanny, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed.” Auntie, please comfort the baby. I’m going out for a while.””
“Madam, where are you going? Your wound hasn’t completely healed…”
“I don’t need you to care where I go. Just take care of the baby. I know my own body. Also, don’t tell Sir about this, okay?”
Chapter 242: Being Followed Chapter 242: Being Followed Leng Xiao drove a car to the cemetery.
Leng Xiao was sitting in Ye Qingwan’s car.
The two cars drove towards the cemetery in the suburbs.
Yu Xin went downstairs. Their car had just driven away when she got into a taxi by the roadside and told the driver the address.
They were not in the same car.
She didn’t have to follow them too closely on the way.
However, he did not want to fall behind and miss the scene in the cemetery.
She told the driver not to overtake the two cars in front.
“Alright.”
The driver responded and followed Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan along the way.
She thought that she wouldn’t be discovered.
However, before they reached the cemetery, they were discovered by Gu Feng.
He said to Ye Qingwan behind him,” Miss Wanwan, that car seems to be following us.”
Hearing Gu Feng’s words.
Ye Qingwan was stunned.
Leng Xiaoduan, who was sitting next to her, turned around instinctively, but was stopped by Ye Qingwan.
“Little Duan, don’t turn around yet.”
Ye Qingwan didn’t know who was following them, so she didn’t want them to know that they had found him.
Gu Feng said cautiously,” Miss Wanwan, let’s go our separate ways from Leng Xiao. Call him and tell him that I’ll turn at the intersection ahead and won’t go with him.””
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan dialed Leng Xiao’s number.
The phone rang twice and Leng Xiao’s voice came through.” Hello, Wanwan.”
“Brother Leng Xiao, we might have been followed by a taxi. Gu Feng is going to turn at the intersection ahead. You continue forward.”
“Alright.”
Yu Xin said that she wanted the driver to follow the two cars in front.
However, Gu Feng’s car turned left at the intersection, while Leng Xiao’s car drove straight.
The driver was in a dilemma. He asked Yu Xin, who was in the back seat,” Miss, the two cars have separated. Which one should I follow now?””
Yu Xin looked at Gu Feng and Leng Xiao’s car hesitantly. After a moment, she decided,” Follow the first car.””
“Alright.”
The chauffeur abandoned Gu Feng and followed Leng Xiao’s car.
She only cared about catching up with Leng Xiao’s car and did not pay attention to the back.
He did not even know that Gu Feng’s car had passed through the alley and turned out to follow behind him.
“It’s Yu Xin, don’t worry about her.”
Ye Qingwan frowned when she saw the taxi in front of her.
Leng Xiaoduan frowned as well, his expression complicated.” Sister Wanwan, why is my sister-in-law following us? If she wanted to go to the cemetery, why didn’t she come with us just now?”
Ye Qingwan’s gaze fell on Gu Feng, who was driving.
She said in a low voice,” She might be worried.”
“I’m worried. Her child has already been born. What’s there to be worried about?”
Leng Xiaoduan had never been in a relationship before, so he really couldn’t understand Yu Xin’s suspicion.
Although she did not live with them, she knew that her brother rarely went to the shop these days.
She had been taking care of Yu Xin and the child with all her heart.
In the end, she still suspected this and that every day.
From Leng Xiaoduan’s perspective, she must be angry for her brother Leng Xiao.
Ye Qingwan was used to Yu Xin’s behavior.
Previously, Yu Xin had asked her to chat with Leng Xiao over the phone. Now that she was worried about him, there was nothing to be shocked about.
She patted Leng Xiaoduan comfortingly and said gently,” If she wants to follow us, then follow us. If she can rest assured, then let her be.”
“If my brother knew, he would definitely be angry.”
Ye Qingwan thought of the problem between Leng Xiao and Yu Xin. She pursed her lips and took out her phone.
As she called Gu Shimo, she instructed Gu Feng,”Gu Feng, let’s go to Zixi’s school first and pick up Zixi and Brother Shi Mo.””
“Sister Qing Wan.”
Leng Xiaoduan called out softly.
Ye Qingwan explained calmly,”We can’t cure Yu Xin’s suspicion, but when she sees Brother Shi Mo, she should stop thinking nonsense.” Besides, I just told Leng Xiao that someone is following us. He might have found Yu Xin by now.”
“..”
Leng Xiaoduan’s frown deepened.
Ye Qingwan smiled reassuringly.” Let’s go to the school to pick them up first. Leng Xiao and Yu Xin will be at the cemetery. If there’s any problem, they can solve it themselves.” There’s no need to do it in front of outsiders like us.”
Chapter 243: Making Eyes at Auntie Chapter 243: Making Eyes at Auntie Leng Xiaoduan nodded.” Sister Qingwan, I understand.””
She sighed in her heart.
Sometimes, even Leng Xiaoduan couldn’t stand Yu Xin’s extreme and suspicious nature and felt sad for her brother.
However, logic told her that Leng Xiao’s lack of love was the root of Yu Xin’s suspicions.
Unless Leng Xiao fell in love with Yu Xin.
Otherwise, she would never be able to cure this illness.
The phone rang a few times and Gu Shimo’s voice came through.” Hello, Wanwan.”
“Brother Shi Mo, are you and Zixi still in school?”
Hearing Gu Shimo’s voice, a faint smile appeared on Ye Qingwan’s delicate face.
On the other end of the phone, Ye ZiXi’s voice could be heard.” Mom, Dad and I are going home.””
“Where are you now? I’ll go find you.”
The smile on Ye Qingwan’s face deepened. Ye Zixi immediately replied happily,” We’re in 1587. We just finished eating. Mom, have you eaten?” Do you want me to order two dishes and wait for you to come over?”
“No need. Mom has already had lunch. Zixi, I’ll take you to see your grandparents, okay?”
“Okay, I miss Grandpa and Grandma.”
Zixi was very sweet.
Gu Shimo laughed softly and said,” Wanwan, if you want to come over, Zixi and I will wait for you here.”
Ten minutes later.
Ye Qingwan saw Gu Shimo and Ye Zixi standing by the roadside outside Room 1587.
Gu Feng stopped the car in front of them. Leng Xiaoduan got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
He let the family of three sit in the back row.
Ye Zixi greeted Leng Xiaoduan politely before getting into the car.
Along the way, they excitedly told Ye Qingwan how great his performance was in the morning’s fire drill.
“Mom, an auntie hit on Uncle today and said that she wanted to treat Uncle to lunch. She even said that she wanted to buy snacks for me. I rejected her at that time, and Uncle seemed a little reluctant.”
“Zixi, how can you accuse uncle wrongly?”
Gu Shimo’s expression changed.
How could this little fellow lie?
Ye Zixi turned around and stuck out her tongue at Gu Shimo. Her childish voice echoed in the car.” I didn’t accuse Uncle wrongly.” Mom, you don’t know how that auntie looked at Uncle. She wanted to eat him up. It’s strange. I’m much more handsome than Uncle. Why is she only staring at Uncle as if I don’t exist?”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s mouth twitched.
Ye Qingwan turned to look at him.
She lowered her head and asked Zixi with a smile,” Why did that auntie treat you like you didn’t exist?”
Zixi pouted.” She just looked past me and stared at Uncle. She didn’t talk to me and only talked to Uncle.”
“What’s the name of the auntie? Is she the mother of your classmate?”
“Yes, she’s the mother of a girl in our class.”
” I was thinking of letting Uncle accompany me to all the activities that we’ll follow in the future,” Ye Zixi muttered to himself. However, he was already spotted on his first appearance. How could I still dare to let him come?”
“..”
Gu Shimo had not expected Zixi to be so daring as to say anything.
When they were eating just now, Zixi asked him if that auntie liked him and kept staring at him.
He said no.
She also told Zixi not to mention it in front of her mother.
However, this little fellow seemed to have forgotten his instructions.
Not only did he mention it, he even added fuel to the fire.
Ye Qingwan stroked Ye Zixi’s head and stroked his fur.” Zixi, you’re thinking too much. Since that auntie is your classmate’s mother, she’s just being friendly.” It’s not what you think. She’s staring at your uncle.”
“Really?”
Ye Zixi’s pretty eyes darted around before she asked doubtfully,” Then why does she only want to treat Uncle to a meal?””
“Zixi, that auntie was just being polite. She didn’t really want to treat us to a meal. Also, she said that she would treat her to a meal because when she couldn’t hold the fire extinguisher, her uncle was nearby and helped her.”
“Oh.”
Ye Zixi looked at Gu Shimo and then at Ye Qingwan.
She smiled and said,” Mom, I misunderstood Uncle. However, that auntie was staring at her uncle, but her uncle did not even look at her. Uncle was still very pure. He would not flirt with other women outside.”
“..”
Gu Shimo’s expression changed again. Where did he learn this idiom from? Did he know what it meant?
Chapter 244: Don’t Like Someone You Shouldn’t Like Chapter 244: Don’t Like Someone You Shouldn’t Like Gu Feng, who was driving in front, choked and coughed.
Leng Xiaoduan tried his best not to laugh, but his shoulders trembled slightly.
Ye Qingwan corrected Ye Zixi.” Zixi, you can’t say that about Uncle.” Also, you can’t use idioms carelessly, understand?”
—-
At the cemetery.
Leng Xiao parked the car and turned around. He saw the taxi behind him had stopped in the distance.
He stopped driving.
He unbuckled his seatbelt.
He pressed his thin lips together and dialed Yu Xin’s number.
After two rings, Yu Xin’s voice came from the phone.” Hello, Ah Xiao.”
“Where are you?”
“Ah, Xiao, why do you ask that? Have you reached the cemetery?”
“Yu Xin, I saw you on the road. Since you’re here, don’t stop so far away.”
He hung up the phone.
Leng Xiao opened the car door and lit up a cigarette.
Leaning against the car, she looked at the taxi coming from afar.
Yu Xin got out of the taxi.
He stepped forward uneasily.
Leng Xiao’s good-looking brows were furrowed, and his facial features were cold.
He gave off a serious vibe.
Yu Xin suddenly regretted following him.
With Gu Feng around, even if Leng Xiao liked Ye Qingwan, he wouldn’t dare to do anything.
“Xiao, are you angry?”
Yu Xin narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice,” I wanted to see Dad and Mom, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t let me come, so I followed behind you.”
Leng Xiao narrowed his eyes and took a puff from the cigarette between his fingers.
He exhaled a string of smoke rings.
Then, he threw the remaining half of the cigarette under his feet and extinguished it.
He said in a deep voice,” Don’t follow me around sneakily in the future. Just tell me what you want to do.”
“Alright.”
Yu Xin took another small step forward, smelling the smoke he exhaled.
She reached out to hold his hand.” Xiao, don’t be angry, okay?”
She lowered herself.
His tone softened.
Leng Xiao looked at her body that had gained weight because of her confinement and hesitated.
She said calmly,” Let’s go. Let’s go see Dad and Mom.””
With that, he turned around and walked in front.
Yu Xin followed behind. When she reached the fifth step, she suddenly let out an “ah” sound.
Leng Xiao turned around and saw her falling on the stone steps, one hand clutching her abdomen.
His expression changed and he helped her up.” Wait in the car.””
“I don’t want to go back to the car. I want to go see Mom and Dad with you.”
Yu Xin held onto Leng Xiao’s hand tightly with tears in her eyes.
Leng Xiao looked at her silently.
After a while.
He compromised and held her hand in his palm.” Let’s go.”
—-
Ye Qingwan, Gu Shimo, Ye Zixi, Leng Xiaoduan, and the others arrived at the cemetery.
He saw Leng Xiao and Yu Xin standing in front of his parents ‘tombstones.
Leng Xiaoduan told Ye Qingwan and went to look for Leng Xiao.
“Wait for me in the car.”
Leng Xiao brought it closer and ordered Yu Xin.
Yu Xin replied and went back to the car to wait.
“Brother.”
Leng Xiaoduan pursed his lips and called out softly.
Leng Xiao’s expression turned serious.
“Little Duan, I just told Dad and Mom that you’re not young anymore. You haven’t had a boyfriend yet.”
“Brother.”
Leng Xiaoduan interrupted Leng Xiao.
She said stiffly,” I’m still young. I’m not in a hurry to find a boyfriend.”
“Aren’t you in a hurry?”
Leng Xiao looked at her.” You still have someone you like?””
“No, I haven’t.”
Leng Xiaoduan clenched his fists lightly.
She and Leng Xiao’s biological siblings.
Actually, she understood what Leng Xiao wanted to say with just a hint.
Leng Xiao’s expression softened.
There was a hint of gentleness and concern in his tone.” Little Duan, if you have someone you like, don’t hide it from me.”
“I really didn’t.”
“That’s good.”
A faint smile appeared on Leng Xiao’s face.” You’ve never been in a relationship before. The most important thing in finding a boyfriend is his character and whether he treats you well. But if they wanted to be together forever, they had to get married. Then, he had to understand the other party’s family background.”
“Brother, it’s too early for you to tell me this. I plan to get married when I’m 30.”
“It’s not early. I’m your brother. I don’t ask you to get married when, but I’ll tell you in advance what I should tell you. In case you can’t judge people clearly and fall in love with someone you shouldn’t.”
“..”
Leng Xiaoduan pursed his lips as an inexplicable emotion spread from his heart.
Chapter 245: You Can Send Him Out of the Country Chapter 245: You Can Send Him Out of the Country Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan held Ye Zixi’s hand and came to Lu Yarou and Ye Bocheng’s tombstone.
Next to them were the tombstones of the Leng couple.
Gu Shimo greeted his parents-in-law.
She called Leng Xiao to the side to talk.
“Do you smoke?”
Gu Shimo took out a cigarette and handed it to Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao took it and took out a lighter to light it.
He looked at an unknown place in front of him and his facial features were covered with a layer of coldness.” When do you plan to marry Wanwan?”
“I don’t want to force Wanwan.”
Gu Shimo also lit his cigarette and took a puff.
The smoke rings he exhaled isolated their faces behind the smoke.
His low voice was blown away by the afternoon wind.” Ding Chen has already confessed. The person who killed Uncle Ye, Auntie Ye, and your parents back then was Zhao Qinlan.”
“Zhao Qinlan?”
Leng Xiao and Bo Yi pursed their lips into a straight line.
She retracted her gaze from the distance and stared intently at Gu Shimo.
Gu Shimo nodded.” I haven’t found her yet. I don’t know where she escaped to. But the police have already issued a wanted order.”
“So, your father doesn’t know?”
“I don’t know.”
Gu Shimo explained,” She has been hiding it from my father. The letter in my father’s safe was also given to her by Ding Chen.”
He was investigating Chen Linhai.
Although he knew that Zhao Qinlan had done it.
However, Chen Linhai was also an important witness.
He had to give an explanation.
“I understand.”
Leng Xiao turned around and looked at Leng Xiao Duan, who was standing in front of his parents ‘tombstones.
He asked stiffly,” Zhao Qinlan has run away. What are you going to do with Gu Ziyang?”
“Those matters have nothing to do with my son’s exit. I won’t do anything to him.”
Gu Shimo frowned and looked at Leng Xiao.” Don’t take revenge on Ziyang for your hatred towards Zhao Qinlan.”
“That’s hard to say.”
Leng Xiao said coldly,” A son will pay for his mother’s debt. If I can’t find Zhao Qinlan, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything to Gu Ziyang.” If you want to ensure his safety, you can send him abroad.”
“..”
Gu Shimo stopped smoking and looked at Leng Xiao with narrowed eyes.
A moment later, he threw away the cigarette between his fingers and turned to leave.
Leng Xiao looked at Gu Shimo’s back as he left. He calmed himself down and returned to the car.
—-
Friday night.
Gu Shimo received a call from Zuo Zhi.
Zuo Zhi reported over the phone,” Master, Zhao Qinlan might have gone to the capital. I want to go to the capital to investigate.”
“Okay, go ahead. Contact me immediately if you find her.”
Gu Shimo stood on the balcony and looked at Ye Qingwan through the window.
She was leaning on the bed and chatting with someone.
Her gentle smile made him curl his lips unconsciously.
After giving Zuo Zhi a few more instructions, Gu Shimo ended the call and entered the house.
Seeing him come over, Ye Qingwan ended the voice chat with Leng Xiaoduan.
Gu Shimo sat on the bed and reached out to pull Ye Qingwan into his arms.
Gazing at her delicate eyebrows, he said gently,” I met Lu Mingyu’s parents tonight and spoke to them. Mrs. Lu said that she wanted to take you as her goddaughter.”
“Yes.”
He put Ye Qingwan’s phone on the table behind him.
“I was afraid that you wouldn’t be willing, so I haven’t agreed yet.”
“Then do you like their family?”
Gu Shimo’s slender fingers caressed Ye Qingwan’s palm-sized face, his fingertips gently caressing her skin.
There was a hint of ambiguity in the air.
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his lips.
Just as she was about to answer him, he kissed her lips.
The man’s breath was hot and masculine, and the kiss was lingering. At first, she wanted to talk.
But he seemed to be deliberately not letting her speak.
Gradually, she lost her rationality because of his kiss.
As she moaned softly, the man’s large, hot palm made her feel numb.
“Wanwan, I don’t want you to like anyone. You’re mine, mine only.”
Gu Shimo said domineeringly as he bit Ye Qingwan’s ear.
Ye Qingwan’s every nerve ending was washed away by the intense pleasure. She had no energy or reason to listen to him.
He was the only one in her eyes and her heart.
When it was over, he carried her into the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub.
Only then did his rationality gradually return.
Chapter 246: Someone Has Thoughts on the Gu Corporation Chapter 246: Someone Has Thoughts on the Gu Corporation 11 PM.
Ye Qingwan was carried back to the bed by Gu Shimo.
He leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. He said softly,” Wanwan, I don’t object to you being the goddaughter of the Lu family.” But you can’t get too close to Lu Mingyu. I’ll be jealous.”
Ye Qingwan’s delicate face was still wet with passion. Her eyes were moving, and she looked delicate and charming. In Gu Shimo’s eyes, a fire burned in his body.
He covered her eyes with his large palm and whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice,” Stop seducing me.”
“I didn’t.”
Her red lips opened and closed. If it wasn’t seductive, what was it?
Gu Shimo covered her eyes and kissed her little mouth.
“You always have. When you’re with me, you’re tempting me to love you every second.”
“..”
Her phone rang.
Gu Shimo let go of Ye Qingwan.
He glanced at the phone on the table and said to Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, go to sleep first.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan turned over and closed her eyes.
Gu Shimo went to the study room and closed the door before answering the call.
“Shi Mo, Ding Chen committed suicide.”
“Why would he commit suicide? When did this happen?”
Gu Shimo’s handsome eyebrows suddenly darkened, and his voice was filled with a strong chill.
It was as if spring had suddenly turned into winter.
Fu Yushen’s tone was also cold.” He was killed in a car accident twenty minutes ago.”
“Did something happen to his family?”
“I don’t think so. The people I sent to protect them didn’t call. I’m having a meeting outside and will only be back in a few days.”
“Looks like you need to reshuffle the cards properly.”
Gu Shimo’s dark eyes were frozen.
Fu Yushen laughed on the other end of the phone.
She smiled coldly.” Yes, it’s time to clean up.” Recently, there will be some fluctuations in South City. By the way, at today’s meeting, someone even said that your Gu Corporation is suspected of monopolizing…”
“Who said that?”
“One of the top ten families in the Imperial Capital.”
Fu Yushen did not elaborate.
She only reminded Gu Shimo,” You should be careful during this period of time. I feel that someone is plotting against the Gu Corporation, especially your new research project. Many eyes are watching.”
“So be it. If no one is staring at it, then it means that it’s worthless.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was low and cold.
He had also heard about what Fu Yushen had said tonight.
When she met Father Lu tonight, he also hinted at her a few times.
It seemed that there was not a fluctuation in the south city.
Instead, it was the Gu Corporation that was about to face a storm.
Gu Shimo pursed his lips into a thin line, and his eyes were firm and dark.
“Do you want to go over and see Ding Chen?”
Fu Yushen asked worriedly on the other end of the phone.
He was not in South City.
He was really worried about Wang Yiming, who had always been at odds with him.
“I don’t think there’s a need to look at it. If you’re not around, that Wang Yiming will definitely take the opportunity to cover the sky.
.Since Ding Chen was dead, the witness was gone. You’ll have to come back and investigate the police station yourself.”
Gu Shimo was wondering how capable Zhao Qinlan was.
To be able to make Bai Shanshan and Ding Chen die in prison.
Bai Shanshan’s death was an accident because she was already crazy and didn’t care too much.
However, Ding Chen had committed suicide while he and Fu Yushen were on guard.
Zhao Qinlan was really not simple.
He thought of something and changed his mind.” I’ll go and take a look now.” I’ll contact you later.” “Okay, I’ll let Captain Wang know.”
Wang Tao was a captain under Fu Yushen who was very good at criminal investigation.
He was upright and righteous.
It was Wang Tao who informed Fu Yushen of Ding Chen’s death.
Gu Shimo replied,”Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shimo walked out of the study.
Ye Qinghao was already asleep on the big bed.
He changed his clothes and went downstairs to dial Gu Feng’s number.
Gu Feng had already driven the car out when they reached the entrance of the villa.
“Master, it’s so late. Where are we going?”
Gu Feng’s face was filled with curiosity.
Gu Shimo glanced at him indifferently.
” Go to the police station,” he ordered calmly.
“Ah, you went to the police station so late. Did something happen, Master?”
“Ding Chen, who went in a few days ago, committed suicide.”
When they arrived at the police station, it was already midnight.
Wang Tao was waiting at the entrance of the police station. When he saw Gu Shimo get out of the car, he immediately went up to him.
Chapter 247: Do You Want to Go Out? Chapter 247: Do You Want to Go Out? “President Gu, Fu said you were coming, so I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Wang Tao was a tough man in his thirties.
He usually didn’t talk much.
Gu Shimo nodded and said politely,” Sorry to trouble you, Captain Wang. What’s the situation now? Where’s Ding Chen’s corpse?”
“Because he killed himself, he was sent to the morgue without a forensic doctor. His family is on their way to the southern city…”
“Captain Wang, I won’t be going to Ding Chen’s place. I want to see Mu Yuan.”
“Mu Yuan?”
Captain Wang suddenly understood.” Okay.”
Ten minutes later.
Gu Shimo saw Mu Yuan.
His bruised face had scabs on it, but he was in a sorry state.
Perhaps it was because she had been locked up here for a few days, but there was no hatred or anger in her eyes. She looked at him dully and lowered her head.
“Mu Yuan, do you want to go out?”
Gu Shimo said.
Mu Yuan’s lowered head suddenly lifted, his eyes widening as he looked at him.
Two seconds later.
He asked doubtfully,” You’ll let me out?”
Gu Shimo’s lips curled up, but his eyes were filled with a bottomless darkness.
” That depends on whether you want to go out or not.”
“Yes, of course I want to. Who would want to stay here in the dark? Ask whatever you want to know. I promise to tell you everything I know.”
Mu Yuan woke up these few days.
In the past, he was too greedy.
Ever since he knew that Zhao Qinlan wanted a man, he had greedily wanted to use her to get benefits from the Gu family.
She even wanted to take down Gu Shimo.
He was really daydreaming.
Now, he didn’t think so much. He just wanted to go out and be free.
“If I let you go out, can you find Zhao Qinlan?”
Gu Shimo’s first question made Mu Yuan’s eyes darken again.
He frowned and said irritably,” I can’t find her. I’ve only slept with her for a few days, so I don’t know much about her.”
“Do you know that she has connections with the Tang family in Hillford?”
Gu Shimo’s sharp gaze fell on Mu Yuan.
He didn’t know if Zhao Qinlan had contacted the Tang family in Beijing.
He only asked this to trick Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan recalled for a minute and said uncertainly,” I heard her mention the Tang family in Beijing, but I didn’t see her contact them. During those few days, both her and my phones were turned off. She didn’t have the chance to contact anyone.”
There was only the other party’s number in the new phone.
And Zhao Qinlan only cared about enjoying the happiness of having a man for a few days.
How could he have the energy to do other things?
“What did she say when she mentioned the Tang family?”
“She said that she wanted to invite the Tang family to deal with you. She said that you’re not her biological son and that she won’t let you be with Ye Qingwan. She even said that she wouldn’t let you be happy.”
“Before she left, she answered your call. Moreover, he ran away after making an appointment with you. Where do you think she went?”
“The capital. The Tang family in Beijing was not someone that ordinary people could get close to. She seemed to have known the Tang family before. I think she might go to the capital.”
“Ding Chen and Bai Shanshan are both dead. Do you know that?”
Gu Shimo did not miss any subtle changes in Mu Yuan’s expression.
She saw the panic in his eyes clearly. Mu Yuan said,”This must have been done by Zhao Qinlan. She was afraid that Bai Shanshan would threaten her.” Ding Chen was an accomplice who helped her kill Ye Bocheng back then. She would not keep him.”
At this point.
Mu Yuan’s expression suddenly changed drastically as he begged Gu Shimo,” Young Master Gu, please let me out. I will definitely help you find Zhao Qinlan when I get out.””
“Why should I believe you?”
Gu Shimo sneered.
Mu Yuan raised his hand and swore,” I swear to the heavens that if I lie, I will be struck by lightning when I go out.”
Gu Shimo stood up.
Mu Yuan immediately panicked.” Young Master Gu, don’t go. Let me out and I can really help you find Zhao Qinlan.””
—-
They got into the car.
Gu Shimo dialed Fu Shenyu’s number.
The other party was still awake.
It rang twice before it was picked up. Fu Yushen’s voice sounded exceptionally low in the night.”Hello, Shi Mo.””
“Yu Shen, I want Mu Yuan to come out. Previously, he was cheated of one million by Zhao Qinlan. I’m afraid he wants to find her even in his dreams.”
“You want Mu Yuan to look for Zhao Qinlan, can he really find her?”
Chapter 248: Unfortunately, I Only Have One Mother Chapter 248: Unfortunately, I Only Have One Mother “Try to know the truth.”
Gu Shimo looked at the night sky outside the car window, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.
It was true that Mu Yuan hated Zhao Qinlan.
He worked as a bodyguard in the Zhao family.
However, one million was probably years of savings for him.
Gu Shimo had gotten someone to investigate. Mu Yuan had a son who had just graduated and had a girlfriend.
He wanted to buy a house and settle down in South City.
The one million that Zhao Qinlan had cheated was the money he wanted to use to buy a house for his son.
Previously, he might have wanted to use Zhao Qinlan’s two million yuan to buy a house for his son.
“Alright, then let him out. Staying inside is a waste of food.”

Early in the morning on the weekend.
Ye Qingwan received a call from Mama Lu, inviting them to dinner at the Lu family home.
“Wanwan, why don’t you bring Zixi and Young Master Gu along…”
Ye Qingwan turned to look at Gu Shimo, who was beside her. The latter placed his slender palm on the top of her head and rubbed it, his lips curling up.
She smiled and said,” I’m free today. I can accompany you and Zixi to the Lu family.””
Even if he didn’t have time, he had to be free to go to the Lu family.
Although Wanwan no longer had those feelings for Lu Mingyu, that Lu Mingyu was someone she once had feelings for.
The most important thing was…
Lu Mingyu still had evil intentions towards Wanwan.
Mrs. Lu’s laughter came from the other end of the phone.” Wanwan, I heard that Young Master Gu will be coming with you, so come over earlier. I’ll go buy groceries first.””
Gu Shimo’s phone rang.
It was Gu Feng.” Master, Second Young Master is here and wants to see you and Miss Wanwan.”
“Let him in.”
“Yes, sir.”
On the sofa beside him, Ye Zixi quickly slid off the sofa and ran outside.” I’ll go pick up Uncle Ziyang.””
A few minutes later.
Ye Zixi held Gu Ziyang’s hand and walked in.
As she walked, she looked up at Gu Ziyang and said with heartache,” Uncle Ziyang, your face won’t be disfigured, right? What if he was disfigured and couldn’t find a wife?”
“..”
Ye Qingwan’s mouth twitched.
He glared at Ye Zixi to stop him from talking nonsense.” Zixi, don’t talk nonsense.””
“I’m not talking nonsense. Girls nowadays are all obsessed with looks.”
He was speaking in all seriousness.
Gu Ziyang smiled nonchalantly.” Zixi, don’t worry about Uncle Ziyang. If I can’t get a wife, I’ll never get married.””
“Unfortunately, I only have one mother.”
Zixi pursed her lips, feeling a little regretful.
“Zixi, we’ll go to Uncle Lu’s house later. You go upstairs with Mom to change your clothes first.”
In order to stop Zixi from continuing, Ye Zixi pulled him upstairs.
Gu Shimo asked Gu Ziyang to sit down.
After sitting down on the sofa, Gu Ziyang asked Gu Shimo,” Brother, did you ask Mu Yuan to come out?”
Gu Shimo did not answer Gu Ziyang’s question immediately.
Instead, she looked at him calmly.
Gu Ziyang suppressed the displeasure in his heart. He was even angry.
His tone was harsh. Even if Brother Wei hated my mother, there was no need to let a scumbag like Mu Yuan out. He wanted to kill me that night.”
“Ziyang, Mu Yuan won’t be locked up forever. He’s just a bodyguard. Other than beating you up, he didn’t do anything else. Moreover, he was cheated of a million yuan.”
” Your meaning is that although he injured me, but because he was cheated of a million, he is not guilty, can’t I sue him?”
Gu Ziyang looked at Gu Shimo with disappointment.
” I thought that the relationship between us brothers was real. I didn’t mind becoming the laughingstock of the world to help you find my mother. Now, it seems that I was just thinking too much.”
“Ziyang, calm down.”
Gu Shimo furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes cold and gloomy.
Gu Ziyang sneered.” How can I calm down? Instead of avenging me, you released the person who injured me. Brother, you let him out because you think he can find my mom. Or do you think that he can kill my mother to avenge you?”
The atmosphere in the living room froze.
There was not much change in Gu Shimo’s expression.
His entire person was cold, and his aura was strong and cold.” I hope he can find your mother because your mother hid behind and hurt two people. Ding Chen and Bai Shanshan are both dead.”
Chapter 249: He Would Rather She Hate Him Chapter 249: He Would Rather She Hate Him Gu Ziyang was stunned.
After a long while, shock and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
“Could it be that someone died because of her?”
Gu Shimo sneered and looked at him coldly.” Ziyang, think about it carefully. Bai Shanshan and Ding Chen were coincidentally able to testify for the car back then. In the end, they died one after another, especially Ding Chen. Other than the case from back then, there was nothing else on him.”
“But she’s on the run now, isn’t she?”
Gu Ziyang’s voice was filled with struggle and conflict.” She wouldn’t be so vicious. Brother, do you really think that Father didn’t take any responsibility for Wanwan’s parents ‘deaths back then?”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, if it wasn’t for the fact that Dad and Mom weren’t married but weren’t irresponsible and were close to Auntie Ye, thinking about his ex-girlfriend, why would Mom be so jealous that she wanted to get rid of Auntie Ye?”
“Ziyang, according to what you said, does it mean that women like your mother have a reason to harm others? I understand how you feel, but I hope you can be more rational. You won’t find excuses for her crimes just because that person is your mother. After all, she had used some tricks to get married to her father back then.”
“..”
Gu Ziyang’s face turned paler.
He knew that he was being unreasonable.
Thinking of the series of events that had happened recently, he teared up.” Brother, I’ll find her and ask her personally.” However, that Mu Yuan was not a good person.”
Seeing that Gu Shimo did not say anything.
Gu Ziyang calmed himself down and asked,” Do you have any clues? You must have sent someone to look for her during the few days she escaped. Can you tell me? I’ll go and find her.”
“She might be in Hillford. You can go find her, find her, how to do it, you can also decide yourself. However, Zi Yang, you can’t go against your conscience. She had caused the death of Wanwan’s parents, and now there was Bai Shanshan and Ding Chen.”
“I know.”
Gu Ziyang glanced at the second floor.
How could he forget the sad scene of Wanwan losing her parents back then?
She followed Gu Shimo back to the Gu family. Although they had treated her well, that was not her home.
Gu Ziyang’s heart was in a mess.
He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
He felt especially guilty towards Ye Qingwan.
He was the only one who knew why he had come here this morning.
He was not really angry at Gu Shimo for getting Mu Yuan out, nor was he really questioning him.
Instead, he wanted to find an excuse to visit Wanwan.
Thinking that he was the son of the enemy who killed her parents, his heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Wanwan doesn’t hate you.”
Gu Shimo read Gu Ziyang’s mind and said in a low voice.
Gu Ziyang’s eyes flashed with pain.
He smiled bitterly.” I’d rather she hate me, scold me, and beat me up. Brother, since you suspect that Bai Shanshan and Ding Chen’s deaths were caused by her…Before you find her, you have to protect Wanwan and Zixi.”
“Yes.”
It wasn’t just Ye Qingwan who didn’t hate Gu Ziyang.
Gu Shimo had never vented his anger on Gu Ziyang.
–
When Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi came downstairs, Gu Ziyang had already left.
Ye Zixi only asked one question before she ran out of the living room excitedly to call Gu Feng.
Ye Qingwan asked with concern,” Did you guys argue?”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s lips twitched, and his voice was low and indifferent.” Everything that has happened recently has been a huge blow to Ziyang. It’s normal for him to be unable to accept it for a while. He came to me to vent his anger. He will come around later.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.” I hope so.”
Gu Shimo smiled and caressed her hair lovingly.
She said,” After you acknowledge your godfather and godmother, we’ll get married.”
Ye Qingwan looked at him in confusion.” What does my godfather and godmother have to do with marriage?”
Gu Shimo raised his eyebrows and smiled.” Yes, it’s okay. When we get married, you’ll be getting married from the Lu family.”
“..”

Lu family.
Lu Mingyu accompanied Mama Lu to buy vegetables. Papa Lu wanted to go as well.
However, someone called him, so he couldn’t go.
The call was from Hillford.
It was unknown what the other party said, but Father Lu’s expression was serious. The Gu Corporation is not only the leading enterprise in South City. Once their new research succeeds, it will be of great significance to the overall development of Country A…”
Chapter 250: I Have a Father Chapter 250: I Have a Father “Yes, it’s precisely because of the importance of the Gu Corporation that we don’t allow some villains to cause trouble behind our backs. Old Lu, I told Yushen about this last night and I’ll let him handle it. If he needs help, you have to help him more…”
Lu Yandong finally smiled.” I will.””
They talked on the phone for half an hour.
Lu Yandong took a glass of water and finished half of it after he was done.
Then, he made another call.
—-
When Gu Shimo’s family arrived at the Lu family’s house, Mother Lu and Lu Mingyu had just returned from buying groceries.
Mama Lu threw the bag to Lu Mingyu and pulled Ye Qingwan’s hand. She said enthusiastically,” Wanwan, you’re finally here. I bought a lot of groceries…”
“Hello, Grandma Lu.”
Ye Zixi’s tender voice was polite and pleasant to the ear.
Mother Lu grinned from ear to ear.” Our Zixi has grown handsome again. Aiya, he’s grown up. Who knows how many girls he’ll charm to death.””
“Grandma Lu, you’re getting younger and prettier.”
“Really?”
Mother Lu touched her face happily.” Zixi, do you want to consider staying at Grandma Lu’s house in the future?” Grandma Lu can send you to and from school every day.”
“I’m fine, but Mom will be sad.”
Ye Zixi glanced at Ye Qingwan.
Seeing this scene, Mama Lu really liked Ye Zixi, this handsome boy, to the core.
“Zixi is not only handsome, smart and sensible, but also a warm man. Just because of your words, I can’t snatch you away from your mother. However, can you come to Grandma Lu’s house to play on the weekends?”
Yes, yes, yes.
The few of them walked into the living room as they talked.
After greeting Lu Yandong, Ye Zixi brought Lu Mingyu to the side for a private chat.
“Uncle Lu, let me tell you a secret.”
Lu Mingyu’s handsome brows had a warm smile.” What secret does Zixi want to tell Uncle Lu?”
Ye Zixi glanced at Gu Shimo, who was not far away, and said in a low voice,” Uncle Lu, I have a father now.”
Lu Mingyu’s smile froze for a second.
Soon, he returned to his handsome face. He smiled and asked,” Is that so? Who is your father?”
“Uncle Shi Mo likes my mother and has agreed to be my father. Even Mom doesn’t know about this secret. You’re the only person who knows about it other than Uncle Gu Feng. Uncle Lu, you have to keep this a secret for me.”
Lu Mingyu nodded.” Alright, Uncle Lu will definitely keep Zixi’s secret.””
“Uncle Lu, although my mother is very good, don’t like her anymore. I’ll find you a good girl to be your girlfriend.”
“Thank you, Zixi. Uncle Lu doesn’t want to find a girlfriend now.”
“We’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class, we’re class…”
“No, it’s really not necessary.”
Lu Mingyu was so scared that he quickly interrupted Ye Zixi.
Pursing his lips, he smiled and said gently and seriously,” Zixi, even if Uncle Lu wants to find a girlfriend, he should find an auntie who’s about Uncle Lu’s age.”
“I know.”
Ye Zixi looked at Lu Mingyu as if he was an idiot.
She blinked her big eyes twice and asked,” Uncle Lu, don’t tell me you think I’m going to introduce a girl from our class to you as your girlfriend?”
“..”
Wasn’t it?
Lu Mingyu could not control his facial expression.
Ye Zixi smiled and said,” What I mean is, those girls who aren’t ugly, their mothers definitely aren’t ugly either. When our school held a fire drill that day, several students came with their mothers…”
“Zixi, do you want to go to the third floor to play? Uncle Lu bought a new Lego.”
“Yes, Uncle Lu. We’ll talk about your girlfriend later.”
Lu Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief.
She dragged Ye Zixi to the third floor to play.
On the sofa in the living room.
Lu Yandong looked away from his son and Ye Zixi.
She turned to Gu Shimo and said,”Shi Mo, since you’ve agreed to let Wanwan be our goddaughter, you’ll be our son-in-law in the future. I won’t stand on ceremony with you.””
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo replied with a smile.
Lu Yandong went straight to the point.” Do you still remember what I told you last night?”
