Ch. 271..280
Chapter 271: The Rice Is Done Chapter 271: The Rice Is Done Gu Ziyang told him about how Mu Yuan had threatened him to give him five million yuan.
“Alright, I understand. You can go back first. I’ll make a call to Hillford now and contact them.”
An hour ago, Fu Yushen received a call from Gu Shimo.
Gu Shimo told him about the situation over the phone.
They were already prepared to capture Mu Yuan again.
However, no one knew that Gu Shimo had woken up.
Therefore, Fu Yushen could not tell Gu Ziyang.
Hearing his words, Gu Ziyang remained silent.
Fu Yushen saw his emotions. He took out his phone and made a call.
“Will you catch him?”
A few minutes later, Gu Ziyang asked.
Fu Yushen nodded.” Of course.”
He looked at Gu Ziyang’s suspicious eyes and said,” You’ve reported the case now and you have evidence. We’re going to capture him.”
“But wasn’t it Bro who let him out?”
“I will tell your brother.”
After Fu Yushen finished speaking, he stood up.
She said to Gu Ziyang,” I have a meeting later. I won’t keep you.” As for Mu Yuan, I’ll call you after I catch him. You can find a good lawyer first.”
Gu Ziyang stood up and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around.
She asked Fu Yushen, who was two steps away.” Did you know that something happened to my brother overseas?”
Fu Yushen nodded and lowered his voice.” I know. Someone hired a professional assassin to kill him.””
The professional killer’s words shocked Gu Ziyang.
His eyes widened slightly.” Are you sure? If he was a professional killer, did that mean that he had already investigated everything? Have you caught the murderer?”
“Not yet. It’s more troublesome to deal with things overseas. However, the heavens had long arms, and he would always be caught.”
Fu Yushen’s tone was calm when he said this, but his eyes were firm.

South City, in the building opposite the Gu Corporation building.
Xue Yunfei’s rented floor was below Ye Qingwan’s office.
They rented a total of two floors.
These two days, advertisements were flying all over the place.
At this moment.
Xue Yunfei and Fu Linpei were sitting in a cafe on the first floor.
The two of them talked while drinking coffee.
“How’s the discussion with Qingyun Wan going?”
Xue Yunfei took a sip of coffee and asked lightly.
Fu Linpei hesitated and said,” Ye Qingwan isn’t in South City these few days.”
“Not here?”
Xue Yunfei frowned slightly.
She looked past Fu Linpei and at the building across the road behind her.
Gu Shimo had not been around for the past few days.
She had heard that Gu Shimo had gone on a business trip. Could it be that Ye Qingwan had gone on a business trip with him?
“He’s not in South City. You can contact him by phone.”
Xue Yunfei’s expression turned cold.” I want a definite answer before we open for business.”
“Miss Xue, I have an idea.”
“Please speak.”
He then went to the Fu family to take charge of politics.
In Xue Yunfei’s eyes, Fu Linpei, a woman who was born and raised in South City, was also rustic and tacky.
It couldn’t be compared to their Imperial Capital.
Her sense of superiority came from her bones.
Fu Linpei said cautiously,” Since Ye Qingwan doesn’t know what’s good for her, why don’t we find another competitor for her?””
Xue Yun Fei’s cold eyes answered her.
“Miss Fu, don’t forget our conditions. Then I might hire someone else.”
Fu Linpei’s expression changed.
I’ll contact Ye Qingwan again.”
Xue Yunfei looked at her coldly.” Ask her where she is and when she will return to South City.”
“Alright, I know.”
“Oh, right.”
Xue Yunfei said casually,” I heard that Lu Mingyu likes Ye Qingwan. If I were you, I would say that the rice has been cooked.””
“..”
Fu Linpei’s eyes flickered, and she lowered her head awkwardly.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to do what she wanted.
It was because she had never found an opportunity.
Of course, she still had some concerns in her heart. Lu Mingyu seemed gentle.
But in reality, when he was cold and heartless, he was better than anyone else.
Fu Linpei didn’t dare to take the risk. Although Lu Mingyu was cold to her now, at least he didn’t fall out with her on the surface.
Chapter 272: What Right Does She Have to Be With Gu Shimo? Chapter 272: What Right Does She Have to Be With Gu Shimo? “Are you afraid?”
Xue Yunfei’s eyes flashed with disdain.
She had originally thought that Fu Linpei was a bossy young lady.
But now it seemed like she was just a paper tiger. No wonder she couldn’t even handle Ye Qingwan.
Fu Linpei shook her head.” It’s not that I don’t dare. I just don’t want to use that method. What I want is Lu Mingyu’s heart, not just his body.”
“Sounds interesting. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to get his heart in your lifetime.”
Fu Linpei said confidently,” I’m confident in myself. He used to like Ye Qingwan, but now she’s his godsister. If he likes her again, it’s incest.”
Although Fu Linpei was working with Xue Yunfei, she was not convinced by the arrogant Xue Yunfei.
After asking, he added,” Besides, Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo are together. Their son is already so big. No other man could get involved, and no one could snatch her away. It would never be possible between Lu Mingyu and her.”
Hearing that Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo were together, Xue Yunfei’s expression turned cold.
She said disdainfully,” What kind of child did Ye Qingwan give birth to? If she didn’t have a son, wouldn’t Gu Shimo want her?”
Fu Linpei blinked.
What she was uncertain about before was now confirmed.
The woman in front of him was from the capital.
The reason why he had opened his company opposite the Gu Corporation building for Ye Qingwan and Qingyun Wan seemed to be because he had taken a fancy to Gu Shimo.
However…
A smile appeared on Fu Linpei’s face.
She asked curiously,” Miss Xue, do you know Gu Shimo too?”
“Of course I do.”
Fu Linpei was even more curious. Her eyes were fixed on Xue Yunfei.
“Miss Xue, how did you meet Gu Shimo? Are you two very close?
In order to satisfy his own gossipy heart, he didn’t wait for Xue Yunfei to reply.
“No wonder Gu Shimo has no feelings for his fiancee, Bai Shanshan. It turned out that Gu Shimo knew Miss Xue, such a noble woman.”
“..”
” I used to think that Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo grew up together, so it was alright. Now that I’ve seen Miss Xue, I realize that Ye Qingwan is not worthy of Gu Shimo at all. Only someone as noble as Miss Xue can be a match for Gu Shimo by standing beside him.”
Everyone liked to be praised.
Xue Yunfei was no exception.
Hearing Fu Linpei’s flattery, the look on her face gradually improved.
He smiled arrogantly.
Ye Qingwan was indeed not worthy of Gu Shimo.
What right did an orphan without parents have to be with Gu Shimo?
If Ye Qingwan didn’t want to cooperate with her, then she could guarantee that her Qingyun Wan wouldn’t live for more than a year.
—-
In the capital.
Xue Hongchang waited for many days, but there was no news of Gu Shimo waking up.
It was fine. He bought wine and celebrated with Zhao Qinlan.
After drinking, the two of them rolled on the sheets again.
After the event.
He hugged Zhao Qin and said proudly,” I’ve already avenged you.” I’ve also taken back the Gu Corporation for you. Give Gu Ziyang a call later and ask him to take over the company.”
He wanted Gu Ziyang to be his puppet.
“Are you sure that Gu Shimo is dead?”
Zhao Qinlan looked at Xue Hongchang expectantly.
Xue Hongchang sneered.” I’ve been keeping an eye on the news from the hospital. He hasn’t woken up yet, so he definitely won’t make it.””
Zhao Qinlan immediately smiled happily.” That’s great.””
“Call Gu Ziyang now.”
“I’ll wait a few more days.”
Zhao Qinlan hesitated.” Ziyang hates me to death now. With his kindness and innocence, I’m afraid she’ll be bewitched by Ye Qingwan. If I know where I am, I will call the police.”
Xue Hongchang’s expression turned cold.
“He’s your biological son. If he treats you like that, then teach him a lesson and beat him until he’s obedient.”
“No.”
Zhao Qinlan immediately stopped him.” Hong Chang, Ziyang is just too innocent and kind. Don’t blame him. Give him more time, he would come around. Anyway, the Gu Corporation has yet to announce Gu Shimo’s death to the public. We’ll wait for another two days.”
“This matter cannot be delayed.”
Xue Hongchang said seriously,” If you don’t want to contact Gu Ziyang, then we can only abandon him. You can’t contact him again in the future. Think about it carefully.”
Chapter 273: Will Uncle Die? Chapter 273: Will Uncle Die? Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan arrived at South City in the evening.
Because of Gu Shimo’s injury, they did not go home and went straight to the hospital.
In the VIP ward.
The nurse gave Gu Shimo another IV drip.
After all this, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.
Fu Yushen saw his fatigue and said with concern,”Shi Mo, rest for the night. I’ll come and see you tomorrow.””
Gu Shimo nodded and did not force himself.” Alright, you can go back first.””
Ye Qingwan sent Fu Shen out of the ward.
Fu Yushen stood at the door of the ward and reminded her,”Wanwan, it’s been hard on you to take care of Shi Mo these past few days.””
Ye Qingwan smiled and said,”It’s not hard. I just hope that Brother Shi Mo’s injuries will heal quickly and that we can find the person who hurt him.””
“I’ll leave Shi Mo to you. I’ll find the murderer.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
Fu Yushen reminded her a few more times before leaving.
Ye Qingwan closed the door and returned to the bed.
She bent down and covered Gu Shimo with the blanket.
“Brother Shi Mo, sleep for a while.””
“Are you tired?”
Gu Shimo looked at her gently.
Ye Qingwan smiled and shook her head.” I’m not tired. I’ll stay here with you. You can sleep.””
—-
Gu Shimo slept for more than two hours.
Ye Qingwan had been sitting by the bed with him.
After dealing with some work, he looked up and saw Zuo Zhi standing outside the ward.
She got up to open the door.
“Miss Wanwan, Gu Feng called and asked if you should tell Little Master Zixi that you and Master are back?”
Ye Qingwan hesitated at the mention of Ye Zixi.
She turned back to look at Gu Shimo, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said,” Ask Gu Fengdai to bring Xi over.””
“Okay, Miss Wanwan. I’ll get Gu Feng and Dai Xi to come over now and bring you dinner.”
“There’s no need to bring you dinner. I’ll wait for Brother Shi Mo to wake up and eat with him.”
An hour later.
The door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Ye Zixi’s tender voice sounded at the door of the ward, full of longing.” Mom.””
Ye Qingwan hadn’t seen Zixi for days. When she looked up and saw Zixi’s small figure, her heart softened like a lake.
He placed his phone on the bed and hugged Ye Zixi, who was in his arms.
“Mom, I haven’t seen you for so many days. I missed you so much.”
Zi Xi’s small arms hugged Ye Qingwan tightly for a minute before she pulled out of her arms.
She turned to look at Gu Shimo, who was lying on the bed. His eyes turned red.
Her voice became choked.” Mom, Uncle Gu Feng said that Uncle is injured. Will he die?”
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the voice.
Her slender fingers caressed Ye Zixi’s head.
She said gently,” Uncle won’t die. He’ll get better soon.””
“But he might be lying still.”
As Ye Zixi said this, her small hand grabbed Gu Shimo’s finger.
Her beautiful big eyes were looking at him with tears in them. He felt that he would die if he did not open his eyes.
When he was at home just now, Uncle Gu Feng told him that his uncle was seriously injured. His mother had gone to accompany his uncle for the past few days.
Ye Qingwan smiled and explained,” Uncle isn’t motionless. He’s just asleep. Why don’t you wake him up?””
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shi Mo opened his eyes.
Seeing Ye Zixi looking at him with red eyes, Gu Shimo’s heart warmed. He called out gently,” Zixi.””
” Uncle, you really didn’t die. I’m so afraid you’ll die like my father.” Then there’s no one to take care of Mom.”
Gu Shimo was shocked.
He looked up at Ye Qingwan.
He met Ye Qingwan’s eyes for a few seconds, then looked back at Ye Zixi.
His voice was low and gentle.” I won’t die. Not only do I have to take care of Mommy, but I also have to take care of you. I have to watch you grow up with you.”
She wanted to make up for what she owed him in the past.
Gu Shimo added silently in his heart.
Ye Zixi broke into a smile.
“Uncle, where are you injured? Are you going to stay in the hospital for many days? I’ll be here with you, okay?”
As he spoke, his eyes darted around his body, trying to see where his injuries were.
Chapter 274: A Little Secret Between Zixi and Me Chapter 274: A Little Secret Between Zixi and Me A smile appeared on Gu Shimo’s face.” Uncle might have to stay in the hospital for a few days. But you can’t stay here with me. You have to go home and sleep. You have to go to school and not delay your studies.”
“But you’re hurt, you’re hurt, you’re hurt, you’re hurt, you’re hurt.””
Gu Shimo’s heart softened.” You can come to the hospital every day after school. When Uncle’s injuries are better, you can go home and not stay in the hospital anymore.”
“Uncle Gu Feng and I even brought dinner for you.”
Gu Feng, who had been waiting at the door of the ward, walked in with a thermos box.
“Master, Miss Wanwan, I brought you dinner.”
Gu Feng did not dare to come in and disturb them just now.
Ye Qingwan took the thermal container from Gu Feng and opened it.
She scooped a bowl of porridge and said to Gu Shimo,”Brother Shi Mo, let me feed you some porridge first.””
“Alright.”
Gu Shimo nodded.
He looked up at Ye Qingwan and then at Ye Zixi.
A thought arose in his mind.
Gu Feng smiled and said,”Zixi, let’s go out first, okay?””
Although Ye Zixi really wanted to accompany Gu Shimo, he immediately understood what Gu Feng meant and nodded cleverly.
A smile blossomed on her pretty face. She said to Ye Qingwan,” Mom, feed Uncle first. Uncle Gu Feng and I will go outside.””
After saying that, she pulled Gu Feng out of the ward.
The door of the ward closed. Ye Qingwan raised the head of the bed and sat down in front of the bed.
“Wanwan.”
Gu Shimo looked at her gently.” There’s something I didn’t tell you before.”
“What is it?”
Ye Qingwan asked with a smile. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to him.” No matter what, eat this bowl of porridge first.””
“Alright.”
Gu Shimo nodded.
Ye Qingwan kept feeding him. They didn’t talk for a while in the ward, but the atmosphere was warm.
He finished a small bowl of porridge.
Ye Qingwan asked him if he still wanted it?
“I don’t want to eat anymore. Wanwan, you eat.”
Ye Qingwan was not in a hurry to scoop the porridge for herself. Instead, she looked at him gently and asked softly,” What did you want to say just now?””
Gu Shimo glanced at the door of the ward behind her.
Gu Feng and Ye Zixi had already left. They did not wait outside the ward.
He said,” Actually, I have a little secret with Zixi.”
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly and didn’t answer him, waiting for him to continue.
“Zixi said that he wanted me to be his father. After that, he kept calling me father. He only called me uncle in front of you.”
“..”
“Wanwan, I want to tell him that I’m Zixi’s father.”
“You should recuperate well. I’ll talk about this. Or we’ll tell him when you recover.”
Actually…
In C Nation, Ye Qingwan had been thinking about it since the days when Gu Qimo was unconscious.
When he woke up and they returned to the country, she would tell Zixi that Gu Shimo was not his uncle but his biological father.
A hint of joy and excitement flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
His long and strong palm grabbed Ye Qingwan’s small hand tightly.
“Wanwan, we’ll go get our marriage certificate when I recover from my injuries.”
Voices came from outside the ward.
Ye Qingwan pulled her hand away from his palm when she recognized the voices of Mama Lu and Lu Mingyu.
“My godmother and brother are here.”
Ye Qingwan walked over and opened the door.
When she saw Mother Lu and Lu Mingyu at the door, she asked in surprise,” Godmother, Brother, why are you here?””
Lu Mingyu was holding a nutritional supplement in his hand.
His gaze lingered on her thin face for a second.” I heard that you’re back. What did we come to see?””
Ye Qingwan stepped aside to let them in.
Seeing that Gu Shimo was about to move, Mrs. Lu quickly stopped him.
“Shi Mo, don’t move. You’re so seriously injured. Lie down properly. We’re not outsiders.”
Gu Shimo did not move.
She only greeted Mama Lu gently.
Hearing him call her ” Godmother ” along with Ye Zixi, Mama Lu was excited. She asked with concern,” Does it mean that your injuries are not as serious now that you’re back?” Qing Wan rushed over when she heard that you were injured overseas. We were all scared to death.”
Chapter 275: Is Brother Shi Mo Very Familiar with Her? Chapter 275: Is Brother Shi Mo Very Familiar with Her? Mother Lu and Lu Mingyu did not stay in the ward for long.
Afraid of disturbing them, Gu Shimo went to rest and they went back.
However, because Ye Zixi had not seen Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan for many days, and because Gu Shimo was sick, he did not want to go home to sleep so soon.
She stayed with Gu Shimo for an hour in the ward.
In the end, Ye Qingwan went home with him.
Gu Shimo had originally asked Ye Qingwan to go home and sleep. However, after Ye Qingwan had coaxed Ye Zixi to sleep, she returned to the hospital.
When Ye Qingwan came out of the elevator, Zuo Zhi, who was guarding the door of the ward, immediately went up to her.
He lowered his voice and told her,” Miss Wanwan, someone’s here to visit me.””
“Who is it?”
Ye Qingwan’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Zuo Zhi’s eyes flickered. He knew if she knew Xue Yunfei, so he explained carefully,” It’s Chief Fu’s cousin and Miss Xue from the capital.””
“Miss Xue?”
A smile of understanding appeared on Ye Qingwan’s face.”
“Master and Miss Xue are friends. Miss Xue helped Master before.”
Zuo Zhi thought about it and added,” Miss Wanwan, don’t misunderstand.”
Ye Qingwan looked at him, amused.” What did I misunderstand?” Could it be that her brother liked her or that she liked Brother Shi Mo?”
For some reason, Zuo Zhi felt that Ye Qingwan’s smile was very meaningful.
He did not dare to look her in the eye, so he lowered his head.
“Miss Wanwan, you can go in first.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan glanced at the Left Executive and walked forward.
When she reached the door of the ward, she heard Xue Yunfei’s gentle voice mixed with worry.” How did you get hurt so badly? Who is so hateful?” When I heard that you were injured, I couldn’t believe it.”
Xue Yunfei’s voice was filled with heartache and sadness.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and opened the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Shimo, who was lying on the hospital bed, immediately looked up at the door.
In front of the hospital bed, Xue Yunfei, who was talking to Gu Shimo, frowned and turned to look at the door.
Xue Yunfei looked at Ye Qingwan strangely.
“Wanwan, didn’t I tell you to sleep at home? Why are you here again?”
Ever since Ye Qingwan entered the ward, Gu Shimo’s gaze had been locked on her. He treated Xue Yunfei and Fu Linpei as if they were invisible and never looked at them again.
Xue Yunfei secretly squeezed her hands.
Fu Linpei took the initiative to greet Ye Qingwan.” Ye Qingwan, you didn’t pick up my calls these past few days. So you went abroad.””
Ye Qingwan closed the door and walked toward the bed.
She replied calmly,”It’s not convenient to answer the phone overseas. Miss Fu and Miss Xie came to visit Brother Shi Mo so late at night, but Brother Shi Mo has only woken up for less than two days. The doctor said that he needs more rest.””
What he meant was that it was already so late. Shouldn’t you guys leave?
Xue Yunfei sized up Ye Qingwan. She had lost weight after not seeing her for a few days.
It was because of Gu Shimo’s injury.
A smile appeared on her face.”I’ve troubled you to take care of Shi Mo during the past few days when he was injured overseas.””
“It’s my duty to take care of Brother Shi Mo. There’s no need for Miss Xue to thank me.”
Ye Qingwan’s expression was calm, and her emotions did not change much because of Xue Yunfei’s words.
She walked to the bed.
She said to Shi Mo in a gentle voice,”I originally wanted to sleep at home too.” However, on second thought, it’s not convenient for you to be alone in the hospital. Besides, you had to get up early to eat the porridge at night, so I rushed back.”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s lips curled up gently.” Wanwan, since you’re here, I won’t call Zuo Zhi in.”
After a slight pause, Gu Shimo said to Xue Yunfei,” Miss Xue, thank you for coming to the hospital to visit me. However, it’s too late today. You guys should go back and rest.”
Xue Yunfei wanted to say that it was not too late.
Ye Qingwan’s voice sounded immediately after,”Miss Xue, Miss Fu, please leave. Brother Shi Mo can’t get out of bed and go to the bathroom with his injury.””
At this point, if Xue Yunfei still didn’t leave, it would be too much.
Her expression changed and the smile returned to her face.”Shi Mo, I forgot to tell you just now that I rented the office building opposite your company. I’m Miss Ye’s neighbor now.” I’ll be staying in South City for a while. I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
Chapter 276: Shimo Doesn’t Love Her Chapter 276: Shimo Doesn’t Love Her “There’s no need to trouble Miss Xue to run every day. My injury will heal in a few days.”
Gu Shimo’s expression was calm and his tone was calm. It was impossible to tell how good his relationship with Xue Yunfei was.
What made people feel it was his alienation.
Xue Yunfei didn’t seem to care.
He had known Gu Shimo for a few years and had always had the impression that he was cold and distant.
Although he was born in the Southern City, his noble temperament was far better than the young masters in the Imperial City that she knew.
Xue Yunfei had been attracted to Gu Shimo from the very beginning.
Although she had known about the existence of Gu Shimo’s fiancee, Bai Shanshan, she also knew that Gu Shimo had no feelings for Bai Shanshan.
Therefore, she was never in a hurry.
She had wanted to wait for Gu Shimo and Bai Shanshan to break off their engagement.
She was waiting for Gu Shimo to take the initiative to pursue her.
However, he didn’t expect Ye Qingwan to appear out of nowhere.
Thinking of their relationship, she felt suffocated again.
She pursed her lips and pretended to tease him.” I didn’t do it purely out of concern for you. I’m doing this for the sake of your recovery. I want to work with the Gu Corporation.”
“I can arrange for someone to talk to you about the cooperation.”
The business cooperation with Xue Yunfei had started last year.
Xue Yunfei shook her head.” I’ll talk to you after you recover. I can’t talk to anyone else.””
Without waiting for Gu Shimo to reject her, she laughed again. She said briskly,” Have a good rest. We’ll go back first.””
Gu Shimo said to Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, send Miss Xue off.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan walked Xue Yunfei and Fu Linpei to the door.
Xue Yunfei looked at her deeply before leaving.
Ye Qingwan, I’ll contact you later.”
Seeing that Xue Yunfei had left, Fu Linpei quickly chased after her.
After coming out of the elevator, Fu Linpei took the initiative to mention Gu Shimo.” Miss Xue, I heard from my cousin that Gu Shimo was attacked by a professional assassin overseas.”
Xue Yunfei turned her head and glanced at her.
She continued to walk forward. When she was out of the hospital, she asked,” Is your cousin investigating?”
Fu Linpei nodded.” Yes, my cousin is investigating the murderer who attacked Gu Shimo. However, that’s overseas and there are too many obstacles. It’s not possible to find the murderer in a short period of time.”
“If I find the murderer who attacked Shi Mo, I will definitely make him wish he was dead.”
As she said this, Xue Yunfei’s eyes were cold.
Fu Linpei asked nosily,” Miss Xue, can you find out who attacked Gu Shimo?”
“I’m not a police officer.”
Xue Yunfei rolled her eyes at her.
A moment later, he said,” It’s not entirely impossible.”
Perhaps she could call her father for help.
However, she would never tell Fu Linpei the rest.
Fu Linpei might know that, but she wouldn’t get any answers from him.
“Miss Xue, are you still coming to see Gu Shi Mo tomorrow?” It was said that men were most easily moved when they were hurt or lonely.”
“With Ye Qingwan around, even if I visit him three times a day, he might not be touched.”
Before Ye Qingwan returned to the country, Xue Yunfei was absolutely confident.
However, Ye Qingwan had Ye Zixi, the child of her and Gu Shimo.
She had also seen the way Gu Shimo looked at her just now. Even if Xue Yunfei did not admit it, she could not lie to herself.
Gu Shimo was special to Ye Qingwan.
However, she was unwilling to admit that Gu Shimo loved Ye Qingwan.
Gu Shimo was a responsible man. It must be because of Ye Zixi’s existence.
Xue Yunfei subconsciously clenched her fists. He had waited for so long and was unwilling to give up, but he would never give up.
“Then what should we do?” Fu Linpei frowned sadly.
“..”
Xue Yunfei ignored her. She already had an idea.
Since Ye Qingwan was being stubborn, he would make sure that Ye Qingwan did not appear beside Gu Shimo.
She would take care of Gu Shimo for the rest of the days.
But was there any way to make Ye Qingwan abandon Gu Shimo and leave?
His phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Xue Yunfei pursed her lips and pressed the answer button.
” Miss, I found out that Ye Qingwan…”
Chapter 277: If Ye Qingwan Was Kidnapped Chapter 277: If Ye Qingwan Was Kidnapped “I’ll call you later.”
Xue Yunfei interrupted him and hung up the phone. She said to Fu Linpei,” You can go back now. I’m going back to the hotel too.””
“Okay, Miss Xue, be careful on the road.”
Xue Yunfei walked to the side of the road. The chauffeur had already opened the door and was waiting for her respectfully.
Fu Linpei watched Xue Yunfei’s car drive away before she scoffed in disdain,” What’s so great about it? You’re as proud as a peacock.” Gu Shimo must be blind to have given up on Ye Qingwan to like you.”
He thought of something.
She sent another message to Ye Qingwan on WeChat.
[Ye Qingwan, Xue Yunfei wants to steal your Gu Shimo. If I were you, I would quickly marry Gu Shimo. Also, instead of letting her work with Gu Shimo, why don’t you work with her? If you’ve thought it through, we’ll sign the contract.]
Fu Linpei was dissatisfied with Xue Yunfei’s arrogance, but she also wanted to get benefits from Xue Yun.
As long as she signed the contract with Ye Qingwan, she would be able to get the shares. From then on, she would be rich.
—-
In the ward.
Ye Qingwan tucked Gu Shimo in before taking out her phone to take a look.
After reading Fu Linpei’s message, she exited WeChat without changing her expression.
“Wanwan, how do you know Xue Yunfei?”
On the hospital bed, Gu Shimo did not close his eyes. Instead, he stared at her gently.
Ye Qingwan blinked and said lightly,” She went to our office building and said she wanted to work with us.”
“..”
“Brother Shi Mo, hurry up and sleep. Don’t talk anymore. You have to rest well so that your wound will heal faster.”
“Alright.”
Gu Shimo agreed.
He really closed his eyes.
—-
The next morning.
Early in the morning, Ye Zixi and Gu Feng brought breakfast to the hospital.
He did not eat breakfast himself and said that he wanted to eat with Gu Shimo.
The hospital ward had become their family’s dining room.
As Gu Shimo was injured, Ye Zixi took on the task of peeling the eggs considerately. As she ate breakfast, she told Gu Shimo about the interesting things that had happened in school over the past few days.
After breakfast, Ye Zixi told Gu Shimo to rest obediently while he went to school.
Seeing that he still hadn’t left after saying it two or three times, he kept looking at Ye Qingwan.
Gu Shimo understood his intentions and smiled.” Wanwan, send Zixi to school first. Come back later to accompany me.”
Ye Zixi’s beautiful eyes lit up with joy when she heard him say that.” Mom, can you send me to school?””
After all, she was just a child and had never been separated from her mother before.
After being separated for a few days, Zixi missed his mother so much that he couldn’t describe it with the words he had learned.
Ye Qingwan sent Ye Zixi to school after giving Zuo Zhi a few instructions.
Along the way, Ye Zixi kept talking excitedly.
When he reached the school gate, he asked Ye Qingwan to send him back to class.
She even said,” Mom, Grandma wanted to send me to class these few days, but I rejected her. I’m not a three-year-old child. How can I let Grandma send me to class?” I can still accept it if Mom gives it to me occasionally.”
“Okay, Mommy will send you in.”
Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but tap his forehead.
Ye Qingwan replied with a pure and handsome smile.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Ye Zixi’s deskmate, Jiang Mianmian, shouted at him from a few meters away,” Zixi, good morning.”
“Zixi’s mother, Zixi said two days ago that you were on a business trip and would only be back for a long time.”
Jiang Luan helped Zixi take off her bag and smiled at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan replied with an ” okay ” and asked Jiang Luan about Zixi’s situation in school these days.
Jiang Luan really liked Zixi’s cleverness.” Zixi is very obedient. I really envy and admire you. You actually taught Zixi so well. He’s now our teachers ‘assistant.”
—-
“Miss, if you don’t want to take Ye Qingwan away by force and she leaves for a few days, you can use Zhao Qinlan to lure her away.”
In the hotel, Xue Yunfei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and listened to the suggestion from the person on the other end of the phone.
She frowned and asked calmly,” Tell me, what should we do?”
She didn’t want to do something like kidnapping.
Firstly, it was not at that stage yet.
Secondly, if Ye Qingwan was kidnapped, it would affect the healing of Gu Shimo’s wound.
Chapter 278: Missing Chapter 278: Missing The person on the other end of the phone expressed his thoughts.
After Xue Yunfei heard this, she pondered for a few seconds.” Alright, we’ll do as you say.””

After sending Ye Zixi off, Ye Qingwan received a call from Gu Ziyang on her way back to the hospital.
“Wanwan, can you contact Little Duan? I called her but her phone was switched off. She didn’t reply to my messages either.”
“Did Xiao Duan turn off his phone?”
Ye Qingwan was surprised.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Ziyang hummed and said,” Can you contact her? I have something to discuss with her.”
“I’ll reply to you later.”
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan dialed Leng Xiaoduan’s number.
As expected.
A cold mechanical voice came from the phone, indicating that the other party’s phone was turned off.
Ye Qingwan frowned, looked at the time, and called the company again.
The people in the company told her that Leng Xiaoduan had not gone yet.
Thinking of how Leng Xiaoduan was followed by Mu Yuan in the Imperial Capital, Ye Qingwan’s brows knitted even tighter.
She said to Gu Feng, who was driving in front,” Gu Feng, don’t go back to the hospital first. Go to Xiao Duan’s house.””
Gu Feng knew Leng Xiaoduan’s address and replied,” Yes, Miss Wanwan.””
He turned around at the intersection in front of him and drove towards Leng Xiaoduan’s house.
In the backseat, Ye Qingwan held her phone and thought for a moment before dialing Leng Xiao’s number.
After two rings, Leng Xiao’s voice was heard.” Hello, Wanwan, are you back?””
Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo did not tell their friends about their return from abroad.
“Brother Leng Xiao, I came back yesterday evening. Is Xiao Duan at your house? Her phone was switched off and she didn’t go to the office. I couldn’t contact her.”
“Xiao Duan’s phone is turned off and he didn’t go to the office?”
Leng Xiao did not know either.
His voice was accompanied by the baby’s cries and Yu Xin’s voice.” Wanwan, Little Duan isn’t at my house. She wouldn’t turn off her phone under normal circumstances, much less turn it off for no reason and not go to the office. Wanwan, I’ll go to her house to take a look now.”
Ye Qingwan listened to the child’s cries.
She said softly,” Brother Leng Xiao, please comfort the child. I’m on my way to Xiao Duan’s house now. I’ll call you later.””
“Alright.”
Although Leng Xiao agreed, Leng Xiao Duan was his sister.
He couldn’t help but worry.
After hanging up, he said to Yu Xin,” Little Xin, please comfort the child first. I’ll go to Little Duan’s house to see why her phone is switched off.””
Yu Xin had heard the conversation between Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan.
She hugged the child and said,” I’ll go with you. Xiao Duan is your sister and also my sister. I’m worried about her too.”
Leng Xiao nodded and took the child from his arms.
Leng Xiaoxiao’s house was not far from Leng Xiaoduan’s house. When Ye Qingwan arrived, he and Yu Xin arrived with their child.
The three of them went upstairs to Leng Xiaoduan’s house.
She realized that Leng Xiaoduan was not at home.
Then he had to go into the bathroom tonight to see that her toothbrush and cup were dry.
The pool was also dry.
Ye Qingwan had a bad feeling and tightened her grip on her phone.
She said to Leng Xiao,” Brother Leng Xiao, let’s go down and ask the security guards if Xiao Duan came back last night.”
Leng Xiao nodded solemnly.” Alright.””
Leng Xiao and Ye Qingwan were too worried about Leng Xiaoduan, so they walked out of the door in front. When they turned around, they saw Yu Xin sitting on the sofa in the living room with the child in her arms. She didn’t look too good.
He seemed to be angry.
He frowned and said to Yu Xin,” Don’t go down with the child. Wait here. Wanwan and I will go down and ask the security.””
“You guys go ahead. I’m a cripple now, so I’m in the way.”
Yu Xin’s voice was filled with emotion.
“Brother Leng Xiao, you go down first. Yu Xin and I will follow behind.”
Ye Qingwan glanced at Yu Xin, who had lifted her clothes to breastfeed the baby, and signaled Leng Xiao to leave.
Leng Xiao took the elevator downstairs first. Ye Qingwan went back to the sofa. Yu Xin, who was sitting on the sofa, said,” Sister-in-law, let me carry the child.””
Yu Xin stood up and looked at Ye Qingwan’s delicate eyebrows.
She felt that Leng Xiao really listened to her.” Qingwan, I think Xiao Duan is a big man, not a child. Nothing could have happened to her. You guys are making a fuss over nothing.”
Chapter 279: Suspecting Mu Yuan Chapter 279: Suspecting Mu Yuan Ye Qingwan frowned slightly.” Xiao Duan wouldn’t turn off her phone for no reason. Besides, it’s not the weekend today. If she didn’t go to work, she would have told me in advance.”
“Maybe she’s with someone she likes and doesn’t want to tell anyone.”
“Someone you like? I’ve never heard of anyone that Duan likes. Even if there was, this was not the reason why she had turned off her phone.”
Ye Qingwan was worried about Little Duan and didn’t have the mood to discuss with Yu Xin.
He pursed his lips and said,” Sister-in-law, if you don’t want to go down with the child in your arms, you can wait here. I’ll go down and take a look first.””
“Qing Wan, I don’t like what you’re saying. Why do you ask me to hold the child and not want to go down? Little Dan is my sister-in-law, and I’m just as worried about her as you are. Let’s go down and take a look.”
Walking out of the living room, Yu Xin turned around and said to Ye Qingwan, who had closed the door,” Qingwan, you can look for me directly if you have any problems in the future.” You can also look for me directly for Xiao Duan’s matters.”
Ye Qingwan smiled faintly and didn’t reply.
The two of them went to the security room. Leng Xiao and Gu Feng were asking the security guards to check the surveillance cameras.
During this time, Ye Qingwan gave Gu Shimo a call and told him that she had something on and would go to the hospital later.
Gu Shimo asked her with concern, what was the matter?
“Xiao Duan’s phone is switched off. I don’t know if he went home last night or not. He didn’t go to the office today.”
Ye Qingwan explained to Gu Shimo as she looked at the people in the security room who were checking the surveillance cameras.
“Is Gu Feng here?”
“Yes, he drove me here.”
“Wanwan, call me back after you’re done with the surveillance.”
Gu Shimo also recalled that when he was overseas, Ye Qingwan had told him that Mu Yuan had followed Leng Xiaoduan.
“Okay, I’ll call you back later.”
When Leng Xiao Duan left Leng Xiao’s house last night, the sky was not dark yet.
The time period was relatively long.
They needed to see the time before dawn.
It was impossible for the three of them to wait here. After ending the call with Gu Shimo, Ye Qingwan said to Leng Xiao,” Brother Leng Xiao, you stay here and watch. Gu Feng and I will go to the mobile company to check Xiao Duan’s call records last night.””
He had to investigate from several aspects.
Leng Xiao agreed.
Yu Xin, who was holding the child, pursed her lips.
She was even a little jealous of Ye Qingwan’s arrangements.

In the hospital ward.
Gu Shimo dialed Fu Yushen’s number. His phone rang a few times and Fu Yushen’s voice could be heard.
“Hello, Shi Mo.”
“Yu Shen, did your people find Mu Yuan’s whereabouts?”
“Not yet. I sent someone to the capital and contacted them. Mu Yuan checked out of the hotel and disappeared.”
“Let me tell you, Mu Yuan followed Leng Xiaoduan in that hotel. Now that Leng Xiaoduan is missing and his phone is switched off, I suspect that this matter has something to do with Mu Yuan.”
“When did this happen?”
Fu Yushen’s voice sounded a little solemn.
“She left her brother’s house at 6:00 last night. Wanwan only found out that her phone was turned off half an hour ago.”
“Okay, I got it. It’s between 6 pm last night and 8:30 am this morning. Tell me where he lives. I’ll send someone over now.”
Fu Yushen paused.
He then said,” It’s been too long. I’ll send someone to check the airport and train station, but if it was last night…”
“If she goes missing, I suspect that Mu Yuan is involved.”
Gu Shimo frowned.
“Don’t worry. It’s not necessarily true.”
Although Fu Yushen comforted Gu Shimo like this, he did not feel optimistic either.
After ending the call, Gu Shimo shouted at the door,”Zuo Zhi.””
The door of the ward was pushed open from the outside and Zuo Zhi walked in quickly.” Master, you called me?”
“Little Leng is missing. Wanwan is looking for him everywhere now. Get a few people to help look for him…”
“Yes, sir.”
The Left Priest walked out of the ward and saw Gu Ziyang walking out of the elevator with a gloomy expression.
When he saw the anger on Gu Ziyang’s face, the Left Hand’s expression changed slightly and he quickly went up to him.
Chapter 280: I Will Hate You For The Rest Of My Life Chapter 280: I Will Hate You For The Rest Of My Life “Second Young Master.”
“Where’s my brother?”
Gu Ziyang asked angrily with a cold face.
The Left Executive replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing,” Master is resting in the ward. Is there anything the Second Young Master needs?””
It was obvious that he had come with ill intentions. The Left Executive couldn’t help but worry.
Gu Ziyang looked at him coldly.
He walked past him and walked forward. The Left Executive followed him to the door of the ward and opened it first.
She said to Gu Shimo, who was lying on the hospital bed,”Master, Second Young Master is here to see you.””
Gu Shimo was looking down at his phone when he heard the voice. He looked up at the door.
Gu Ziyang pushed Zuo Zhi away, entered the ward, and walked quickly to the bed.
She asked angrily,” Where is Mu Yuan?”
“Ziyang, I just called Yushen. After you guys came back that day, Mu Yuan also checked out of the room.”
Gu Ziyang sneered.” Ha, I don’t know where he went. Didn’t you arrange for him to go look for my mother? Don’t you know where he went?”
“I really don’t know. Wanwan just called me and told me that Leng Xiaoduan is missing. When did you contact her and know that her phone was switched off?”
Gu Ziyang glared at Gu Shimo angrily and answered stiffly,” This morning at seven o’clock.”
At first, her phone was switched off. Gu Ziyang thought Leng Xiaoduan was still in bed.
He waited downstairs for half an hour until 7:30 pm.
The phone was still switched off when he called the second time.
Gu Ziyang sent a message to her and asked her to return his call.
Who knew that he would find a nearby breakfast shop and finish his breakfast. Before Leng Xiaoduan could reply.
So he called her a third time before calling Ye Qingwan.
“Ziyang, Wanwan, Leng Xiao is already looking for Leng Xiaoduan. Yu Shen would also speed up his search for Mu Yuan and Leng Xiao Duan.”
Gu Ziyang took a deep breath and said,” Brother, if Mu Yuan kidnapped her and something happened to Leng Xiaoduan, I will hate you for the rest of my life.””
Without waiting for Gu Shimo to speak, Gu Ziyang walked out of the ward quickly, just like how he had come.
He left in a hurry.

Ye Qingwan and Gu Feng checked Leng Xiaoduan’s call records at the mobile company.
Last night, she did not speak to anyone on the phone.
His phone rang.
Seeing that it was Fu Yushen, Ye Qingwan quickly picked up the call.
“Wanwan, Shi Mo just told me that Leng Xiaoduan has gone missing. I’ve already gotten someone to check the surveillance cameras. I’ll tell you immediately if there’s any news.”
” Check the surveillance footage. Xiao Duan left Leng Xiao’s house last night…”
“I know, I found out from Leng Xiao’s family.”
“Checking the surveillance cameras like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it’s not completely useless.”
Another hour passed.
Fu Yushen called again.
Ye Qingwan was still in the security room of Leng Xiaoduan’s residential area.
Leng Xiao and Gu Feng were checking the surveillance cameras.
Yu Xin was sleeping at the side while Ye Qingwan went outside to answer the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Fu Yushen’s voice came through.” Wanwan, we’ve found Leng Xiaoduan’s whereabouts. She was taken away near the neighborhood where she left home last night…”
“Where was he taken away? Who was he?”
“Looking at his figure, it looks like Mu Yuan.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart sank.
Fu Yushen’s comforting voice came from the other end of the phone.” I’ve already sent people to look for Mu Yuan and Leng Xiaoduan. I’ll let you know as soon as I get any news.””
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan held her phone tightly.
She didn’t know much about Mu Yuan, but she knew that he was definitely not a good person.
If he took Xiao Duan away, it shouldn’t be a kidnapping.
If he kidnapped her, he would call her.
Was it to take revenge on her for saving Gu Ziyang?
The more she thought about it, the more worried Ye Qingwan became.
She walked into the security room and told Leng Xiao,” Brother Leng Xiao called just now and said that Xiao Duan was taken away by someone nearby last night.””
“Who is it?”
Leng Xiao turned around and stared at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan said,” According to Fu Yushen, his face can’t be seen clearly, but his body looks like Mu Yuan, the bodyguard who was with Zhao Qinlan previously.”
Leng Xiao’s face was livid. He gritted his teeth and asked,” Why did he kidnap Xiao Duan? Does Xiao Duan know him?””
