Ch. 251..260

Chapter 251: Acknowledge Goddaughter Chapter 251: Acknowledge Goddaughter “Uncle Lu, is there any new news?”

Gu Shimo looked at Lu Yandong with a gentle expression.

Lu Yandong nodded.” I received a call this morning. Someone reported that the Gu Corporation was monopolizing the market. Someone also reported that there were quality problems with your company…The higher-ups handed this matter over to Yushen to investigate.”

To Fu Yushen?

Gu Shimo nodded.” Thank you, Uncle Lu, for telling me this.”

“Did you offend anyone recently?”

Lu Yandong frowned and asked.

This matter was obviously targeted.

Gu Shimo smiled faintly and said in a calm tone,” I don’t remember offending anyone, but there will always be competitors in the business world.”

“You’d better be careful. I think they’re very interested in your company’s new research project.”

“Yes, I will be careful.”

When he heard about the new research project, Gu Shimo’s long and narrow eyes darkened.

Since the Lu family had accepted Ye Qingwan as their goddaughter, Lu Yandong was very concerned about the Gu Corporation.

Before lunch.

Mama Lu asked the servants to go upstairs and call Lu Mingyu and Ye Zixi down.

Ye Qingwan served tea to Mr. and Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu took out an emerald bracelet and put it on Ye Qingwan’s hand.

Papa Lu also smiled and gave her a red packet.” Wanwan, you’re the daughter of the Lu family from now on.

I’ve just agreed with Shi Mo that when the two of you get married, you’ll get married here.”

Ye Qingwan turned to look at Gu Shimo.

The corners of the latter’s mouth curled into a warm smile.

His brows were relaxed and his eyes were filled with affection.

Her heart warmed as a smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face. She generously agreed,” Okay, thank you, godfather and godmother.”

“Wanwan, I have a gift for you too.”

Seeing that Lu Yandong had finally finished speaking, Lu Mingyu could not wait to take out a box.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Gu Shimo narrowed his eyes.

From now on, Lu Mingyu was Ye Qingwan’s brother. Although he was not her biological brother, he was still her brother.

He could no longer have any thoughts about her. This was a comfortable feeling for Gu Shimo.

However, Lu Mingyu would be able to treat Ye Qingwan well in the future. When Gu Shimo thought of this, he still felt a little jealous.

“Mingyu, what gift did you prepare for Wanwan?”

Mother Lu asked curiously.

Papa Lu also looked at him with a smile.

Ye Zixi was very curious about this scene. She watched the crowd quietly and did not interrupt.

Lu Mingyu took out a delicate red velvet box. Inside was a pair of earrings.

It was a famous designer’s new design this year. It was said to be a limited edition.

Even if he had money, he might not be able to snatch it.

Wanwan, this is for you.”

“Thank you, big brother.”

Ye Qingwan accepted it generously and changed her words.

Lu Mingyu chuckled and looked at Ye Zixi.” Zixi, I’m your uncle from now on. Remember not to call me Uncle Lu anymore.””

“I have another uncle, uncle, uncle.”

Ye Zixi quite liked Lu Mingyu.

This was a series of shouts.

During lunch, Ye Zixi was snatched away by Lu Mingyu’s new uncle.

She had been sitting next to him and being taken care of by him.

—-

At the same time, at a golf course in Southern City.

Deputy Director Wang Yiming’s phone rang, and the woman beside him immediately took his cue.

Seeing the name on the caller ID, Wang Yiming pressed the answer button and called out with a smile,” Hello, Brother-in-law.”

“Yiming, how did it go?”

Xue Hongchang’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wang Yiming said proudly,” Brother-in-law, don’t worry. It’s all done.””

“That’s good. Yunfei went to South City and said that she wants to open a branch company in South City.”

“Brother-in-law, don’t worry. Yunfei said something when she was having dinner at my house the night before. It’s good that she wants to open a branch company in South City. As her uncle, of course, I will fully support her.”

“Yes, Yi Heng is in South City. He might stay for a while. Did he go to your house with Yunfei?”

Xue Hongchang really wanted his daughter Xue Yunfei to marry Tang Yiheng.

Even though his daughter and Tang Yiheng didn’t like each other.

However, the Tang family’s strength was there for all to see.

However, the Xue family was gradually being squeezed out of the ranks of the top wealthy families in the capital.

 

Chapter 252: Get rid of Gu Shimo Chapter 252: Get rid of Gu Shimo “Brother-in-law, there’s something. I don’t know if I’m too sensitive.”

Wang Yiming said hesitantly.

On the other end of the phone, Xue Hongchang asked,” What is it?”

“The night before yesterday, Yun Fei asked about the Gu Corporation and Gu Shimo. She seemed to be quite interested in Gu Shimo. But she didn’t say it clearly, so I’m not too sure.”

“Hmph, Yunfei can only marry into the Tang family. But how could he compare to Tang Yiheng?”

One was a merchant from South City.

One was a noble young master from the Imperial Capital.

The difference was so obvious.

Moreover, Tang Yiheng was likely to become the person in charge of the new laboratory in South City.

The Xue Family was no match for the Tang Family in this aspect.

“Yes, alright.”

“Help me keep an eye on her. If there’s really something going on between her and Gu Shimo, inform me immediately.”

Gu Shimo was the enemy of her first love.

The Gu family was the meat that he had just set his eyes on.

No matter what, Xue Hongchang would never allow Xue Yunfei to marry Gu Shimo.

—-

Gu Shimo received the news from Lu Yandong.

The land in the north of the city was going to be circled for the construction of a laboratory.

The leaders of South City had the intention of leaving this matter to Gu Shimo.

But he still had to bid.

To convince the public.

Sunday afternoon.

Gu Shimo received a call saying that he needed to go on a business trip at the last minute.

There were some problems at the overseas branch that he needed to deal with personally.

“Wanwan, take good care of yourself and Zixi while I’m away. Zuo Zhi has gone to the capital to check Zhao Qinlan’s whereabouts. Bring Gu Feng with you when you go out, don’t check on yourself.”

Gu Shimo instructed seriously.

Zhao Qinlan, that crazy woman.

She could do anything.

Ye Qingwan raised her hand to smooth the wrinkles on her forehead.

She said softly,” No matter where I go, I’ll call Gu Feng. If I bring Zixi out, I’ll bring a few more bodyguards. You, on the other hand, must pay attention to your safety when you’re outside.”

“Yes, I’ll call you once a day.”

Gu Shimo’s slender palm caressed her head. He leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips.

He kissed her a few times.

In the end, he covered her small mouth and made love to her.

After the kiss, Gu Shimo walked out of the room with his suitcase.

Ye Qingwan touched her slightly red lips, which were swollen from the kiss. She followed him out and watched his car drive away.

Then, she turned around and returned to the living room.

—-

In the capital.

Zhao Qinlan and Xue Hongchang finished rolling in the sheets.

She made dinner for him again.

Xue Hongchang stood in the kitchen and watched Zhao Qinlan cook for him. He said proudly,” Qinlan, this time, Gu Shimo is going overseas. I will make sure he stays overseas forever. Your revenge will be taken very soon.”

Zhao Qinlan turned around and smiled at Xue Hongchang. Her voice was so gentle that it could drip water.” When Gu Shimo dies, the Gu Corporation will be yours.”

“Are you really not going to let your son take Gu Shimo’s place?”

Xue Hongchang looked at Zhao Qinlan with half trust, seeing that there was no need to stare at the pot.

His hand reached for her chest again.

Zhao Qinlan said angrily,” Ziyang is not interested in the company. When the time comes, the entire Gu Corporation will be yours.”

It would be impossible to say how deeply Xue Hong Chang loved Zhao Qinlan.

A transaction between adults, a mutual hook up…They had both.

Xue Hongchang wanted to get the Gu Corporation through Zhao Qinlan, but Zhao Qinlan wouldn’t be of much use.

However, Zhao Qinlan used to love Gu Xiaoquan to death. Gu Corporation also had Gu Xiaoquan’s blood and sweat. He used Zhao Qinlan to swallow the Gu Corporation. For some reason, he felt a perverted pleasure.

“However…”

Zhao Qinlan pulled Xue Hongchang’s hand that was unbuttoning her shirt and said flirtatiously,” Come back after dinner…” Gu Shimo is a very cunning person. He won’t be so easy to get rid of. Are you sure that your arrangements are foolproof?”

“You think too highly of him. He might be powerful in South City, but he’s in a foreign country where he’s unfamiliar with people and places. It’s the best time to get rid of him.”

Xue Hongchang had been coveting the Gu Corporation for a long time.

It was especially so for Gu Shimo’s new research project. It was said that it had cost tens of billions of dollars.

Gu Shimo had done a good job of keeping it a secret. He only received news after a few months of the project.

The reason why she wanted to get rid of Gu Shimo immediately was because she was afraid of him.

It was because the research had already made great progress. It would not be affected even if Gu Shimo was not around. What was left was only a matter of time.

And he wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others ‘labor.

 

Chapter 253: Do You Have a Boyfriend? Chapter 253: Do You Have a Boyfriend? Zhao Qinlan’s eyes flashed with coldness.

In the blink of an eye, she smiled again.” Hong Chang, thank you.”

Xue Hongchang smiled and said,” What’s there to be polite about between us?”

Zhao Qinlan thought of something and stopped smiling.

She said sadly,” Do you know how Ziyang is now?”

Mu Yuan had severely injured him.

When Zhao Qinlan thought of this, she wished she could tear Mu Yuan into pieces.

Xue Hongchang’s expression changed a little, and his tone was cold.” He probably hates you to death now. Why are you still thinking about him?””

Zhao Qinlan sighed.” He’s my son after all.”

At this moment.

Gu Ziyang walked out of the airport and took a taxi to the hotel.

He did not know where Zhao Qinlan was.

The Imperial Capital was so big, and he was only here to try his luck.

Sitting in the taxi, he looked at the scenery outside the window for a while and took out his phone to browse.

Because he added Leng Xiaoduan as a friend on WeChat.

He scrolled through two posts and saw Leng Xiaoduan’s status.

Leng Xiaoduan had sent her nephew a photo of him peeing on her.

He added a sentence,’Be good to auntie when you grow up.’

Gu Ziyang liked it.

She thought about it and commented,” It’s not easy being an aunt.”

Ever since that night when Little Leng sent him supper.

She had never contacted him again.

Gu Ziyang wanted to find a chance to thank her, but he didn’t want others to laugh at him.

The main thing was that he felt ashamed.

After arriving at the hotel, he sent a message to Gu Shimo.

He told Gu Shimo that he had already arrived in the capital.

He would bring Zhao Qinlan back.

Gu Ziyang waited for a long time but did not hear from Gu Shimo.

Thinking that Gu Shimo did not want to talk to him, he logged out of WeChat dejectedly.

At this time, Leng Xiaoduan, who was far away in South City, was in a daze as he looked at Gu Ziyang’s comments and likes.

He typed a reply:

[Yeah, it’s not easy to be an aunt. The little guy always pees on me. Have you been discharged?]

Yu Xin, who was beside her, saw that she was still playing with her phone. She smiled and asked,” Does Xiao Duan have a boyfriend?”

Leng Xiaoduan shook his head.” No, I don’t want a boyfriend yet.”

Yu Xin giggled.” You’re blushing, yet you still say you don’t want a boyfriend.” Is there someone you like? Last night, your brother even said that he had a suitable young talent to introduce to you.”

Leng Xiaoduan’s expression changed slightly when he heard what he said.

“Sister-in-law, tell my brother that I don’t need it. It’s not like I’m ugly and can’t get married.”

Yu Xin scrutinized her.” Then tell me the truth. Do you have someone you like? You know that it’s hard to change your brother’s decision.”

Leng Xiaoduan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes as she said,” I really don’t. If I have someone I like, I’ll definitely tell you.””

“Then why did you reject the blind date?”

“I don’t like it. If I haven’t met someone I like, it means that fate hasn’t come yet.”

“Sometimes, fate is also fought for by oneself. If you have someone you like, you must pursue them boldly.”

Based on Yu Xin’s understanding of Leng Xiao.

He didn’t even mention introducing a boyfriend to Leng Xiaoduan.

She suddenly mentioned it last night, but her attitude was very firm.

He felt that Leng Xiaoduan must have someone he liked, but Leng Xiao was not satisfied.

After chatting with Leng Xiaoduan, Yu Xin was even more certain of her guess.

She thought about her relationship with Leng Xiao and how she wasn’t too comfortable with Leng Xiao.

She decided to pull Leng Xiaoduan over.

If Leng Xiaoduan was on her side in the future, Leng Xiaoduan would help her no matter what happened between Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan or another woman.

She smiled again at the thought of this and even patted Leng Xiaoduan’s hand affectionately.” Look at your brother and I. I was the one who initiated our relationship. Although he didn’t like me at first, he has been more and more attentive to me since we had the baby. I feel especially happy now.”

Leng Xiaoduan looked at the smile on Yu Xin’s face. She indeed looked very happy now.

That day when Yu Xin followed them to the cemetery, his brother was not angry.

This should be the reason why they had a child.

Leng Xiao was a responsible man. If it wasn’t for Yu Xin, Leng Xiao was actually quite good to her.

 

Chapter 254: Negotiating Cooperation on behalf of Xue Jewelry Chapter 254: Negotiating Cooperation on behalf of Xue Jewelry After chatting with Yu Xin, Leng Xiaoduan looked at his WeChat Moments and saw that Gu Ziyang had already replied to her.

[I’m here in Hillford. Thank you for the supper that night.]

[You’re welcome.]

Leng Xiaoduan did not ask why Gu Ziyang went to the capital.

She was not familiar with him and had only met him twice by chance.

—-

After Gu Shimo went on a business trip, Ye Qingwan sent Ye Zixi to school every day before going to work.

On Wednesday afternoon, Ye Qingqing received a call from Mama Lu.

Mama Lu asked her over the phone,” Wanwan, are you free this weekend? I want to go shopping for clothes. If you’re free, can you accompany me?”

“Weekend…Sure.”

Ye Qingwan agreed readily.

Gu Shimo had gone overseas for a business trip and would not be back for at least half a month.

Originally, Gu Shimo had said that he would call and contact her every day.

However, he had been extremely busy when he was overseas, so he had only called her once.

He chatted with Mama Lu for a while.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Qingwan ended the call with Mama Lu.

The door opened, and Fu Linpei came in.

She was dressed in red today, and even her hair was dyed a wine-red color. It was especially eye-catching.

“Ye Qingwan, I heard that you’ve become the goddaughter of the Lu family. Is that true?”

Fu Linpei was like a machine gun.

Once you sit down, you can’t stop talking.

Ye Qingwan poured her a glass of water.

“You didn’t come here just to ask if I’ve become the goddaughter of the Lu family, did you?”

“Of course not. I’m here to do business with you.”

Fu Linpei raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly.

Ye Qingwan looked at her and smiled. She asked casually,” What business?”

“To be precise, I changed my job.”

Fu Linpei smiled and said,” Do you know Xue Jewelry?”

Ye Qingwan’s eyes flashed with surprise.” You went to work at Xue Jewelry?”

“I guess so. I’m their specially hired photographer. I don’t set the time and price as I please. In addition, I’m also the person in charge of the Xue Jewelry in South City.”

Ye Qingwan smiled.” Congratulations, Miss Fu.””

Fu Linpei could tell that Ye Qingwan’s congratulations were not sincere, but she did not mind. Their relationship was not that good to begin with.

Her purpose was clear.” Here’s the thing, I’m here to talk to you on behalf of Xue Jewelry.”

“Alright, then it depends on what price you offer.”

Ye Qingwan picked up her cup and casually brought it to her mouth.

“The price will definitely satisfy you.”Fu Linpei said confidently.

Xue Yunfei had given her absolute authority, and she only had one request.

It was to form a partnership with Qingyun Wan.

“..”

Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.

“We offered double the price. Ye Qingwan, you can’t do the promotion alone. It’s because I treat you as a friend that I’m giving you this opportunity.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t really want to cooperate.”

Ye Qingwan remembered that Xue Yunfei had been in Gu Shimo’s office in the building opposite.

A woman’s intuition told her that the scene of her standing in front of the French window might have been deliberately shown to her.

For a woman who had feelings for Gu Shimo.

Ye Qingwan didn’t care about the money.

Anyway, she could never earn enough money. She did not lack it.

Although Xue Yunfei had many ways to get close to Gu Shimo…

But Ye Qingwan still didn’t like to invite a wolf into her house.

Up until now, he had not asked Gu Shimo about his relationship with Xue Yunfei, and Gu Shimo had never mentioned it either.

Fu Linpei looked at Ye Qingwan in surprise.” Ye Qingwan, aren’t you being too willful? Or do you not know the origin of Xue Jewelry?”

“Well, I don’t know and there’s no need for me to know.”

When Fu Linpei heard Ye Qingwan’s words, she felt that she was very silly.

Fu Linpei asked. Do you know the Xue family in Beijing? The CEO of Xue Jewelry is the eldest daughter of the Xue family in Beijing, Xue Yunfei. He is a famous socialite in Beijing and goes to the same university as me. She was a year older than me, and she was especially famous in school.”

Ye Qingwan looked at Fu Linpei in amusement.” What does this have to do with me? I don’t care where she came from. Qingyun Wan was especially busy this year. If you don’t have time to sign another business partner, you might as well find another one.”

 

Chapter 255: I Must Persuade Ye Qingwan Chapter 255: I Must Persuade Ye Qingwan Ye Qingwan stood up, took her glass of water, and walked behind the desk.

Fu Linpei thought she was crazy.

She frowned and stared at Ye Qingwan’s back.

She said angrily,” Ye Qingwan, I’m giving you a piece of advice because you’re Mingyu’s godsister. You’d better not offend the Xue family in Beijing.””

Ye Qingwan turned around and looked at Fu Linpei, who was sitting on the sofa.

Their gazes met.

She chuckled softly, although it was not as eye-catching as Fu Linpei’s outfit.

But when Ye Qingwan smiled, she was really beautiful. Even as a woman, Fu Linpei had to admit that she was really beautiful.

“Fu Linpei, thank you for your kindness and reminder. I’m still very busy, so I won’t send you off.”

Fu Linpei wanted to curse.

This Ye Qingwan really didn’t know what was good for her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Xue Yunfei had given her the task of cooperating with Qingyun Wan, she would have been able to do so.

She would definitely stand up and leave. She didn’t want to waste any more time with Ye Qingwan.

“Being busy is not a reason. Ye Qingwan, are you the Lu Mingyu that you still like? That’s why you didn’t agree to cooperate with me.”

Ye Qingwan pointed at her own forehead.

“Is there something wrong with your brain?”

“I think you’re the one with a brain problem. You’re a fool if you don’t earn money.”

“You can think whatever you want. I don’t like people interfering with my work. You can leave now.”

“So what if you leave? It’s not like I have to work with you.”

Fu Linpei really stood up and left. She was too angry.

She turned around when she reached the door. He asked Ye Qingwan, who was already sitting behind her desk,” Ye Qingwan, do you want Xue Yunfei to come and talk to you personally?””

“..”

Ye Qingwan glanced at him indifferently.

She lowered her head and ignored him.

Fu Linpei is not worthy of you.

After walking out of the building and getting into the car, Fu Linpei called Xue Yunfei.

The phone rang a few times and Xue Yunfei’s voice came through.” Hello.”

It was a cold voice, and the noise coming from the phone sounded like they were at a horse farm.

Fu Linpei pursed her lips and said,” Senior, Ye Qingwan is not willing to work with us. Why don’t we find another media outlet to work with?”

A sneer came from the other end of the phone.

A moment later, Xue Yunfei’s voice came through.” Linpei, other media outlets won’t do. I’ve fallen for Ye Qingwan. They have a good reputation and are especially important for us to open up the market in South City. I believe in your ability. You can definitely do it.”

Fu Linpei frowned.

Xue Yunfei’s voice rang in his ear again.” It’s okay if you can’t do it once. You still have four days. As long as you can convince Ye Qingwan, I can satisfy any condition you want.”

“Senior.”

Fu Linpei’s voice carried a hint of joy.

Although she hadn’t done it yet, she had already thought of her request.

“If I convince Ye Qingwan, can you give me some shares of Xue Jewelry?”

The Fu family was in politics.

Although Fu Linpei had played photography since she was young, her family never lacked money to spend.

However, she was just not short of money. She was far from being extravagant.

Besides, Xue Yunfei was the one who asked her to state her conditions, so she did not hold back.

If she could have some shares of Xue Jewelry, she would be rich. He would no longer be reluctant to buy a limited edition luxury item.

Oh, no, he didn’t have the money to buy it.

“Of course you can. How much do you want?”

Xue Yunfei agreed readily.

Fu Linpei didn’t dare to mention too much. She thought for a moment and said,”Let’s make it 5% or 10%.”

Xue Yunfei laughed coldly on the other end of the phone.

However, his cold laughter was very low.

It was noisy on the other end, so Fu Linpei didn’t hear it.

He only heard Xue Yunfei say,” Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll wait for your good news.””

Xue Yunfei didn’t lack money.

She wasn’t afraid of Fu Linpei asking for money.

On the contrary, Xue Yunfei hoped that Fu Linpei would make financial demands.

Only then would they be able to work together for a long time.

After all, the Fu family was in politics, and there were many things that they might need Fu Linpei for.

Fu Linpei suddenly felt that she had become rich.

Even her voice was filled with joy.” Senior, I will definitely convince Ye Qingwan.” Just wait for my good news.”

 

Chapter 256: If You Don’t Stop, I’ll Call the Police Chapter 256: If You Don’t Stop, I’ll Call the Police After ending the call with Xue Yunfei.

Fu Linpei looked up at the building in front of her.

She had to think of a way to make Ye Qingwan agree to cooperate with her.

At the thought of the Lu family, Fu Linpei decided to look for Mama Lu.

Ye Qingwan didn’t give her face, but she had to give Mother Lu some face.

Saturday

At a certain plastic surgery hospital in the capital.

Zhao Qinlan had a plastic surgery.

It was mainly for nose augmentation and breast enhancement.

Of course, there was also a slight change in his facial features.

Xue Hongchang had given her a fake identity.

In order to get rid of her identity as Zhao Qinlan, she had plastic surgery.

She did not know that Gu Ziyang had already arrived in the capital and was looking for her everywhere.

She didn’t know that Mu Yuan had gone to the capital.

Instead, it was Gu Ziyang and Mu Yuan who met.

Gu Ziyang stayed in a star-rated hotel while Mu Yuan stayed in a small guest house.

Coincidentally, the two of them met on the street.

Mu Yuan’s current goal was not Gu Ziyang. Therefore, he only glanced at Gu Ziyang.

He walked away.

Gu Ziyang was beaten up by him, so he naturally hated Mu Yuan to death.

However, the most important thing for him now was to find his mother, Zhao Qinlan.

Thus, when he saw Mu Yuan leave, he did not stop him.

Mu Yuan walked a few meters and saw that Gu Ziyang had already left.

A cold smile flashed across his eyes as he quietly followed behind Gu Ziyang.

Gu Ziyang was Zhao Qinlan’s only son.

Mu Yuan did not trust Zhao Qinlan and would not contact Gu Ziyang.

Gu Ziyang walked to the entrance of the hotel.

She turned her head inadvertently and realized that Mu Yuan was unable to dodge in time.

Or perhaps Mu Yuan did not want to dodge.

When he was seen, he walked up to him generously.” Gu Ziyang, it’s been so long. Your injury hasn’t recovered yet?”

Gu Ziyang’s heart was burning with anger. He asked coldly,” Mu Yuan, why are you following me?”

“Of course I’m following you to find your mother.”

Mu Yuan was not standing straight like a hooligan.

Gu Ziyang said mockingly,” I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. I’ve been looking for her too, but I haven’t found her.””

“I have a clue. Do you want to follow me?”

“No need.”

Gu Ziyang suppressed his anger.

Since he couldn’t beat Mu Yuan, he had no choice but to endure.

Mu Yuan smiled.” Then why don’t you return the one million yuan to your mother? If I stay with him for a few days, I won’t charge him.”

“..”

Gu Ziyang’s expression changed drastically when he heard that. The veins on his forehead bulged.

Mu Yuan was still threatening him.” Zhao Qinlan, that b * tch, cheated me of one million yuan. If you don’t pay it back for him, I’ll put his videos online and sell them. A rich young master like you might not know that those videos sell very well.”

“Mu Yuan, you are really shameless.” Gu Ziyang was so angry that his chest hurt.

If he could beat Mu Yuan, he would beat him up. He wouldn’t be able to get up.

Gu Ziyang had never met someone as shameless as Mu Yuan.

He was gentle like jade, but he was no match for Mu Yuan in terms of quarreling.

Gu Ziyang shouted angrily at Mu Yuan.

He couldn’t help but rush forward and punch Mu Yuan’s face.

The next second, Gu Ziyang was thrown to the ground by Mu Yuan.

He could not care less about the pain and wanted to get up, but Mu Yuan stepped on his arm again.

Mu Yuan said condescendingly,” Gu Ziyang, I’ll give you one day. Give me 1.5 million. I can give you all those videos. He wouldn’t look for that b * tch Zhao Qinlan anymore.”

“..”

Gu Ziyang glared at Mu Yuan with bloodshot eyes.

“Bastard.”

“Remember, is money more important than your mother? Right, if you don’t give me the money, let me find that bitch Zhao Qinlan. I will make her wish she was dead.”

After saying that.

Mu Yuan kicked Gu Ziyang’s body a few more times.

Until a voice came from a taxi by the roadside.” Stop! If you don’t stop, I’ll call the police.””

Only then did he stop in disdain and turn around to leave.

 

Chapter 257: If You Are Willing Chapter 257: If You Are Willing “How are you?”

Leng Xiaoduan looked worriedly at Gu Ziyang who was lying on the ground.

She reached out to help him up, but Gu Ziyang refused stiffly.” I can get up myself.””

“..”

Leng Xiaoduan didn’t say anything. He just stood there quietly and watched Gu Ziyang get up from the ground.

Although they were outside the hotel.

But when Mu Yuan hit and kicked him, no one stopped him.

Mu Yuan kicked his body, not his face.

However, Gu Ziyang’s injuries had not healed yet.

Compared to his handsome appearance in the past, he was in a sorry state now.

“Thank you.”

Gu Ziyang stood up straight and thanked Leng Xiaoduan.

He didn’t look at Leng Xiaoduan. Instead, he lowered his head and looked indescribably dispirited.

Leng Xiaoduan asked with concern,” Are you really alright? Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look and get a look?”

“I’m fine.”

Gu Ziyang laughed at himself.” This injury is nothing.”

He only hated himself for not properly practicing martial arts in the past.

He took two steps forward.

Gu Ziyang suddenly turned around and saw Leng Xiaoduan following behind him.

He frowned.” I’m really fine.””

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Leng Xiaoduan explained calmly,” I’m also staying in this hotel.”

“What a coincidence that you’re on a business trip.”

Leng Xiaoduan nodded. What a coincidence.

Not only did she stay in the same hotel as Gu Ziyang, but their rooms were also diagonally opposite each other.

There were only the two of them in the elevator, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Although there was no signal in the elevator, Leng Xiaoduan still took out his phone to take a look.

When he swiped the key card and entered the room, Gu Ziyang’s voice came from behind him.” Xiao Duan, do you want to sit in my room for a while?””

Leng Xiaoduan turned around and met Gu Ziyang’s melancholic eyes.

She did not answer immediately.

Gu Ziyang said again,” I want to talk to someone…” If you’re willing.”

Leng Xiaoduan put away the key card and walked towards him.

Gu Ziyang opened the door and let Leng Xiaoduan in.

He closed the door behind him and looked at Leng Xiaoduan’s slender back as he spoke in a sad voice.

“I came to Hillford to find my mother.”

Leng Xiaoduan looked back at him and then looked around the room.

She walked to the sofa and bent down to pick up the cup on the coffee table to pour him a glass of water.

She placed the cup on the coffee table and went to pick up the first aid kit.” Come here, I’ll help you bandage it.””

“Yes.”

Gu Ziyang did not refuse.

The arm that Mu Yuan stepped on earlier was injured previously.

It was very painful to be stepped on so hard by him. There were blood stains on her white shirt.

Neither of them spoke during the process of bandaging.

In the quiet atmosphere, they could hear each other’s breathing.

Gu Ziyang’s gaze unconsciously fell on Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes.

She couldn’t tell what kind of emotions she had in her heart. It was especially complicated.

After bandaging the wound, Leng Xiaoduan instructed him not to wet it.

Gu Ziyang watched her put the medicine box back in its original place and said calmly,” How many days are you in the capital on a business trip?”

“About a week.”

Leng Xiaoduan sat down on another sofa.

She pursed her lips and asked Gu Ziyang,” How did you meet Mu Yuan?”

Gu Ziyang’s expression changed.” He also came to the capital to look for my mother.”

“..”

“My mom cheated him of one million yuan.”

“Will she still be short of money?”

“My brother froze all her bank cards. She doesn’t have much money.”

“..”

Leng Xiaoduan didn’t know what to say, so he didn’t say anything.

He was just an audience.

Gu Ziyang said,” When they were together, Mu Yuan took many photos and recorded many videos. He was threatening me just now.”

Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes widened in shock.” That Mu Yuan is a pervert.””

“Yes, he must be a pervert.”

His phone rang. It was Ye Qingwan.

Leng Xiaoduan said to Gu Ziyang,” I’ll take this call first.”

She pressed the answer button and called out gently,” Sister Qing Wan.”

Gu Ziyang’s expression changed slightly when he heard the words ‘Sister Qingwan’.

Ye Qingwan was asking about her situation in the capital.

After chatting for a few minutes, Leng Xiaoduan’s voice suddenly changed.” Sister Qingwan, don’t worry. Gu Shimo will definitely be fine.”

Ye Qingwan hung up before she could finish her sentence.

Gu Ziyang saw him hang up the phone and immediately asked,” Did something happen to my brother?”

 

Chapter 258: Gu Shimo Was Injured Chapter 258: Gu Shimo Was Injured “I think Gu Shi Mo is injured.”

Leng Xiaoduan said uncertainly,” I’m not too sure either.”

Gu Ziyang knew that Gu Shimo was overseas on a business trip. The message he sent to Gu Shimo only received a reply on the second day.

When he heard that Gu Shimo was injured, Gu Ziyang immediately said worriedly,” I’ll call Wanwan and ask her.”

“I don’t think so. Sister Qing Wan must be in a hurry to look for Gu Shimo.”

“Let me ask the Left Deacon.”

Gu Ziyang dialed Zuo Zhi’s phone rang a few times before Zuo Zhi’s voice could be heard.

“Hello, Second Young Master.”

“Zuo Zhi, did something happen to my brother?”

Gu Ziyang asked worriedly.

Zuo Zhi answered on the other end of the phone,” I was attacked while on a business trip overseas.”

“Is that serious? Where was he injured? Who was it? Why was he attacked?

Although many things had happened during this period of time, and she even knew that Gu Shimo and she did not have the same father and mother, she was still very worried.

However, after so many years of brotherhood, Gu Ziyang heard that he was hurt.

I’m also worried about my heart

“I’m not sure either. I was shot..”

Gu Ziyang wanted to ask more, but Zuo Zhi said anxiously,” Second Young Master, can I contact you later?” I need to go to the C Nation now.”

“Alright, contact me when you get there.”

Zuo Zhi wanted to rush over to see Gu Shi Mo.

Although he was in the Imperial Capital now, looking for Zhao Qinlan.

But now, Ye Qingwan was going overseas to look after Shi Mo.

Zuo Zhi also wanted to follow.

South City.

Ye Qingwan took several deep breaths.

Only then did his heartbeat return to normal.

Her phone rang. She picked it up immediately when she saw that it was from Zuo Zhi.

“Miss Wanwan, I’m rushing over from Imperial. We’ll meet at the airport over there.”

“You don’t have to wait for us. Go straight to the hospital to look for Brother Shi Mo.”

Ye Qingwan’s mind was filled with the scene of Gu Shimo’s injury.

She did not see Gu Shimo’s face, but the thought of him being injured made her heart clench.

Especially now that Zhao Qinlan had disappeared without a trace.

Bai Shanshan and Ding Chen died in prison again.

She wondered if Gu Shimo’s injury had anything to do with Zhao Qinlan.

If it was really…

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwan’s heart tightened.

“Alright then.”

After the call with Zuo Zhi, Ye Qingwan told Gu Feng,” Gu Feng, stay here and take care of Zixi.” Just arrange for another person to go overseas with me.”

Gu Feng said instinctively,” Miss Wanwan, I’ll go with you.””

Gu Shimo’s condition was serious and Gu Feng was very anxious.

“No.”

Ye Qingwan’s attitude was very firm.” I’m worried about Zixi. Stay and protect her.””

Gu Feng frowned.

She struggled and said,” I can arrange for a few more people to protect Young Master Zixi.”

“I don’t trust anyone else, but I need you to protect Zixi personally. Gu Feng, you should know how important Zixi is to me.”

Gu Feng had no choice but to compromise.” I understand, Miss Wanwan, but you must be careful when you’re overseas.”

As it was not yet time for school to end, Ye Qingwan did not go to the school to look for Ye Zixi.

Instead, she went straight back to the villa to bring her documents and called two bodyguards to follow her to the airport.

They took the fastest flight.

Ye Qingwan didn’t sleep a wink on the plane.

She was too eager to see Gu Shimo, and she felt that the plane was too slow.

It had never been like this.

She wished she could grow a pair of wings and immediately fly to Gu Shimo’s side.

At C Nation’s airport.

As soon as Ye Qingwan and the two bodyguards got off the plane, someone came to pick them up.

The person who came was a manager of the Gu Corporation in C Nation.

His name was Ji Wei. He was with Gu Shimo when he was attacked.

Ye Qingwan’s heart was in Ji Wei’s self-reproachful expression. Ji Wei looked at Ye Qingwan and pleaded guilty,” Miss Wanwan, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect the president well and let him get hurt.””

There was another thud.

She stared at Ji Wei.”Where is Brother Shi Mo injured?””

“Miss Wanwan Wanwan, President was injured near his heart. The doctor said he doesn’t know when he’ll wake up.”

If Gu Shimo had not been seriously injured…

They would not tell Ye Qingwan yet.

 

Chapter 259: You Must Wake Up Chapter 259: You Must Wake Up “Do you know who did it?”

Ye Qingwan’s face turned pale.

Her heartbeat was very abnormal.

At this moment, she did not even know if her heart was beating slower or faster.

Ji Wei’s words echoed in her ears. What did the doctor say? She didn’t know when he would wake up.

She clenched her fists tightly.

She repeated in her heart,”Brother Shi Mo, nothing must happen to you.”

“We haven’t found out who did it yet. It’s most likely a professional killer.”

Ji Wei paused for a moment and said,” Many people are currently staring at our company’s research and development. It might have something to do with this.”

The journey from the airport to the hospital was an hour.

At the hospital.

The moment he got out of the car, Zuo Zhi went up to him.

“Miss Wanwan.”

Ye Qingwan’s heart sank when she saw the Left Executive’s red eyes.

She pursed her lips and asked softly,”How is Brother Shi Mo’s condition?””

“Miss Wanwan, grandpa is still unconscious.”

“Take me to him.”

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the hospital.

They took the elevator to the 26th floor, where Gu Shimo was staying in the ICU ward.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw two bodyguards standing in the corridor in front of her.

Zuo Zhi introduced,” Miss Wanwan, those two bodyguards are protecting Master.”

Gu Shimo’s attending doctor walked over from the other side of the corridor with a nurse. After explaining Gu Shimo’s condition to Ye Qingwan in detail, she asked,”

The nurse brought Ye Qingwan to change into a sterile gown.

They arrived at the door of Gu Shimo’s ward.

The nurse pushed open the door of the ward but did not enter.

Instead, he took a step back and let Ye Qingwan enter the ward.

Ye Qingwan’s slender figure stood at the door, looking at the big bed in the ward.

Lying quietly, ignoring the tube, he looked like Gu Shimo who was asleep.

The tension in her heart was broken.

A surge of passion rushed into her eyes, and tears fell without her hearing.

She walked quickly to the bed and lowered her eyes. Her eyes were blurred with tears as she looked at Gu Shimo’s handsome and pale face.

Her heart ached as if it was being held tightly by a big hand.

“Brother Shi Mo, I’m here.””

Gu Shimo, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not open his eyes, nor did he hear Ye Qingwan’s words.

He slept quietly, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

Ye Qingwan was extremely upset, and her eyes were locked on Gu Shimo.

“Brother Shi Mo, the doctor said that you don’t know when you’ll wake up, but you can hear me, right?”

“You said you would take care of me for the rest of my life. If you don’t wake up, I’ll hate you, really.”

Her tears slid down her cheeks and landed on the back of Gu Shimo’s hand.

If it was any other time, his heart would definitely ache terribly.

But now he has no reaction to the fact that he’s not getting any.

Ye Qingwan’s tears fell faster and faster.

“Brother Shi Mo, if you can hear me, you have to wake up.” When you wake up, we’ll go get our marriage certificate together. I will marry you immediately.

“But if you don’t wake up. I will never meet you again in my next life.”

“You promised me that you would take good care of yourself on a business trip, but now you’ve turned yourself into this. What do you want me to do?”

“Did you not know that I would be sad?”

“..”

She was so sad that she couldn’t continue.

Ye Qingwan bent down and buried her face in his big hand.

At first, she only cried silently, but gradually, she started to sob softly.

However, no matter how sad she was, Gu Shimo did not open his eyes.

Ye Qingwan stayed in the ward for an hour.

When she came out, her eyes were red and swollen.

Zuo Zhi’s expression changed slightly and he comforted her softly,” Miss Wanwan, I’ll send you back to rest first.”

Ye Qingwan shook her head.’I’ll stay in the hospital. I don’t have to run back and forth. I’ll stay here and watch over Brother Shi Mo.'”

Zuo Zhi immediately said,” How can you do that, Miss Wanwan? Gu Lei and Gu Yu said that you didn’t sleep at all on the plane. You need to rest well now. Master will be angry when he wakes up.”

Ye Qingwan turned to look at Gu Lei and Gu Yu, who were two steps away.

The two of them immediately lowered their heads. Gu Lei said respectfully,” Miss Wenwen, you should go back and rest first. There are doctors and nurses in the hospital. I’ll tell you as soon as I wake up.””

 

Chapter 260: I Need Your Cooperation Chapter 260: I Need Your Cooperation Ye Qingwan looked away and turned to Zuo Zhi.” I’m staying in the hospital.””

“..”

Zuo Zhi wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.

Ye Qingwan walked forward.” I’m going to see the attending doctor now. Are you coming?””

“Alright.”

Zuo Zhi accompanied Ye Qingwan to the office to find the attending doctor.

He also said that he wanted to stay in the hospital.

This attending doctor was very familiar with Gu Shimo.

He smiled and said,” Miss Ye, I think that staying in the hospital is not as useful as staying in the hospital for me. Of course, if you come to accompany Shi Mo every day, it will have a great impact on him. It will help him wake up early.”

Ye Qingwan frowned.

The attending doctor continued,”You’re staying here at night, not in Shi Mo’s ward. You can’t see him or talk to him. It won’t help him much.”

“Why don’t you go back and rest well at night and accompany him during the day? I’ll be staying in the hospital at night, and we’ll have a special nurse to watch over me 24 hours a day. I won’t let anything happen to Shi Mo.”

“I need your cooperation and help. Therefore, I hope Miss Ye can cooperate with me.”

Ye Qingwan listened to him.

There seemed to be no reason for him to stay.

“Then I’ll go back.”

“Thank you for your trust, Miss Ye. Don’t worry, I will definitely do my best to save Shi Mo.”

“Of course I believe you.”

Ye Qingwan thanked the doctor.

Accompanied by Gu Lei and Gu Yu, they went back to Shi Mo’s place to rest.

Even though she didn’t take a photo on the plane, Ye Qingwan still couldn’t fall asleep.

Gu Lei and Gu Yu forced her to eat, so she only ate a little.

The ringtone was from Leng Xiaoduan.

Ye Qingwan collected her emotions and answered the call. Her voice was a little hoarse.” Hello, Xiao Duan.””

“How is Sister Qingwan, Gu Shimo?”

Leng Xiaoduan’s concerned voice traveled across the Pacific Ocean.

Ye Qingwan said lightly,” The wound is too close to the heart and there’s too much blood loss. I don’t know when he’ll wake up.””

On the other end of the phone, the cold little guy was stunned.

There was no sound for a long time.

She had thought that the story was not hurt and was only hurt. She did not expect it to be so serious.

She didn’t know what to say to comfort Ye Qingwan.

She only called out worriedly,”Sister Qing Wan.””

“Xiao Duan, I can’t go back for the time being. I’ll leave the company’s matters to you.”

“Sister Qing Wan, don’t worry…You should stay over there and accompany Shi Mo. Don’t be too sad. He will definitely wake up.”

Ye Qingwan chuckled.

” Yes, I also believe that he will wake up.””

“That’s right. Gu Shimo loves you so much. He’s just unconscious because he lost too much blood. He’ll wake up in two days.”

Less than five minutes after the call with Leng Xiaoduan ended.

Ye Qingwan’s phone rang again.

When she saw the caller ID, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

He picked up the phone.” Hello, Brother.”

The call was from Lu Mingyu. He had somehow found out about Gu Shimo’s injury.

She immediately asked,” Wanwan, how’s Gu Shimo? I heard that he was injured.”

“Not too good. He hasn’t woken up yet.”

“Give me an address.”

“Brother, you don’t have to come over. Brother Shi Mo, I’ll tell you when you wake up.”

Lu Mingyu thought about it and said,” Alright then. You’ve worked hard over there.”

The two of them chatted for a few minutes before Lu Mingyu urged him to rest and then hung up.

At the Lu family in Southern City.

As soon as Lu Mingyu hung up, Mother Lu immediately asked,” Why didn’t you ask for the address? I could tell from Wanwan’s tone that she wasn’t in a good state.”

Lu Mingyu smiled faintly and comforted her.” Mom, you won’t be able to help even if you go over. Gu Shimo had been attacked there.”

At this point, Lu Mingyu turned to Father Lu and said with a restrained expression,”Do you think that Gu Shi Mo’s injury is related to their company’s new research and development?””

Lu Yandong pondered.” It’s most likely related.”

Seeing his wife frown worriedly, he said gently,” Although you can’t go to C Nation to see Wanwan, you can help her take care of Zixi.”
