Ch. 301..310
Chapter 301: Familiar Sense… Chapter 301: Familiar Sense… Ye Qingwan was stunned for a second.
She looked at the middle-aged woman who was walking towards her elegantly.
None of this mattered.
The important thing was that the middle-aged woman’s appearance was somewhat familiar.
He heard his own heart skip a beat. Afraid that his loss of composure would cause others to misunderstand, a proper smile appeared on her face.
” Hello, Auntie Yang. I’m Ye Qingwan.””
When Mother Yang came in front of her, she smiled and held her hand. She said warmly and kindly,” Ah Feng often mentions you. He said that you helped him a lot when you were abroad. We wanted to invite you to our house for a long time, but unfortunately, it was inconvenient because we were separated by the Pacific Ocean.”
“Aunt Yang, Yang Feng has helped me a lot.”
“Didn’t you bring Xixi with you this time?”
“No, I came to the capital for some private matters.”
Ye Qingwan explained.
Mother Yang understood and did not ask further. Instead, she invited her into the living room.
They went into the living room and talked for a while before Yang Feng and Gu Feng came in.
Mother Yang was an approachable woman, perhaps because of the familiarity.
Ye Qingwan had a good impression of her.
Unlike Tang Songkang, who he saw in the hospital yesterday, that person looked very serious and cold.
During the meal, Mother Yang said,” Miss Ye, it’s rare for you to come to the capital. You should stay here for a few more days before going back. Ah Feng happens to be at home too. Let him be your guide and walk around the capital.”
Before Ye Qingwan could say anything, Yang Feng rejected her mother’s request.
“Wanwan still has work to do, so she can’t play here for a few days.”
Yang Feng turned to Ye Qingwan.” Wanwan, are you going back tomorrow?” Remember to book a plane ticket for me when you go back. I’ll go back with you.”
When Mother Yang heard that Yang Feng was going to South City, she frowned in disapproval.
“Ah Feng, you’ve been gone for so many days and haven’t found anything. Do you want to look elsewhere?”
“Mom, South City is so big. Isn’t it normal for me to not gain anything in a few days?”
Yang Feng lowered his head and thought about it with his chopsticks. Then, he raised his head and said to his mother.
“Mom, the way I searched before might not be right, so I haven’t found any clues. This time, I’m going to search in a different way.”
“Change what method?”
Mother Yang asked, puzzled.
Yang Feng thought about what Tang Yiheng had told him on the phone yesterday.
He hesitated for a moment before saying,” Mom, don’t be angry if I tell you.”
“Why should I be angry when you’re looking for your aunt?”
Mother Yang was stunned.
Yang Feng said truthfully,” It’s like this. My aunt has been missing for so many years, but she hasn’t contacted us even once. We should also think in the worst direction. If my aunt is no longer around, then I will never be able to find her the way I did before.”
Mother Yang’s expression changed.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and there was obvious sadness in his eyes.
Ye Qingwan saw her emotions and her eyes flashed.
She heard Yang Feng say,” I’m going to South City this time. I’m going to start looking at the cemetery.”
—-
After Ye Qingwan and Gu Fengyang’s family had lunch, Mother Yang chatted with her for an hour.
He asked her if Yang Feng had a girlfriend during his years abroad.
Just as he was about to leave, Yang Feng received a call from Tang Yiheng.
Ye Qingwan got into the car and was stopped by Yang Feng.
He stood outside the car window and said to her,” Wanwan, my cousin just called and said that my aunt is inviting you to dinner tomorrow.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan hesitated.
Yang Feng’s voice sounded again.” Wanwan, my cousin said that they invited Xue Yunfei tomorrow too. I think you can go. It’s just a meal anyway. I want to go too. It’s not too late for us to return to South City in the afternoon.”
Xue Yunfei?
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and weighed the pros and cons.
He reluctantly agreed.” Alright then.”
“I’ll tell him later that you agreed.”
Yang Feng turned to Gu Feng and instructed,” Gu Feng, drive carefully. Don’t drive so fast. You’re not familiar with the roads in the capital.” I’ll go to the hotel to look for you tomorrow morning.”
“I know.”
Gu Feng’s eyes flashed. He looked away from Yang Feng and nodded.
Chapter 302: Touched the Wound Chapter 302: Touched the Wound Ye Qingwan didn’t expect the Tang family to treat her to a meal.
On the way back, she looked out the window. Her thoughts drifted to somewhere unknown.
Gu Feng was very focused on driving and only asked Ye Qingwan when they reached the hotel,” Miss Wanwan, what was the mission you mentioned when you went to the Yang residence this morning? Are we done?”
“Yes, it’s done.”
Ye Qingwan replied lightly.
Gu Feng laughed in relief.” That’s good. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to complete the mission. Then I won’t go to the Tang family tomorrow.””
She thought about how he didn’t even pick up any food for lunch today and had been eating white rice.
Ye Qingwan nodded.
She said jokingly,” If you don’t want to go in, then don’t. You didn’t dare to eat at the Yang family today. I’m afraid you won’t even dare to eat at the Tang family tomorrow. If this continues, when you return to South City, I’m afraid you’ll only be skin and bones.”
Gu Feng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.” Miss Wanwan, I’m not used to it.”
Back in the hotel room.
Ye Qingwan dialed Gu Shimo’s number.
The other party seemed to be waiting for her call. It was picked up after the first ring.
A familiar deep and magnetic voice came from the phone, as if it was speaking right beside her ear. Wanwan, are you back at the hotel?”
Ye Qingwan smiled and said in a gentle voice,” I called you as soon as I entered the room.”
Gu Shimo’s hearty laughter answered her.
She only laughed twice before she heard him groan.
The smile on Ye Qingwan’s face was instantly replaced by worry.”
“When I laughed just now, I pulled on my wound.”
“Then why are you still laughing at me?”
Ye Qingwan frowned and said unhappily.
“Okay, I won’t laugh anymore.”
“It’s not that you’re not allowed to laugh in the future, but before you recover, don’t laugh.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Gu Shimo instantly became an obedient baby.
“Has Zixi been obedient these past two days?”
Ye Qingwan asked worriedly.
Gu Shimo did not answer her question. Instead, he said,” Wanwan, hang up. Let’s video call.””
He missed her after not seeing her for two days.
He wanted to see her.
Ye Qingwan hung up the phone and called the video call.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Shimo picked it up.
The man’s clear eyes appeared on the phone screen. He had lost a lot of weight after being injured these days.
Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
“Wanwan, when are you coming back?”
Gu Shimo’s eyes were locked on Ye Qingwan’s delicate features, and his voice was low and gentle.
Their eyes met, and Ye Qingwan didn’t look away.
She looked at him gently and replied gently,” Maybe after tomorrow. The Tang family invited me to lunch tomorrow.”
“Are you very familiar with the Tang family?”
Gu Shimo frowned.
He didn’t hide his displeasure at all.” Wanwan, the Tang family isn’t as simple as the Yang family. If you agree to go to the Tang family because you know Yang Feng, then reject it and come back tomorrow.”
“Brother Shi Mo, do you know anything about the Tang family?”
Ye Qingwan looked at Gu Shimo instead of answering him.
She pursed her lips lightly when she thought of her intention in calling him.
“A little.”
Gu Shimo’s low voice rang in her ear.
“Wanwan, just remember not to get close to the Tang family.”
“Then, do you hate them?”
“I don’t hate it or not. It’s just that Tang Songkang’s methods are not very bright.”
Ye Qingwan was silent for two seconds.
She asked softly,”Brother Shi Mo, Zhao Qinlan had contacted the Tang family previously. Did they deal with you?””
“Wanwan, Zhao Qinlan doesn’t have the ability to order Tang Songkang around.”
A chill flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
He said,” I’ve fought with Tang Songkang before. He’s too unscrupulous.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Ye Qingwan smiled and said lightly,” Then I’ll reject the Tang family’s invitation later.””
“Mm, be careful over there. Yu Shen has already brought Mu Yuan back. If there’s nothing else, you can come back too.”
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan was surprised.
Fu Yushen was quite fast.
He caught Mu Yuan.
Chapter 303: Professional Killer Chapter 303: Professional Killer Ye Qingwan had wanted to tell Gu Shimo that his mother, Tang Yi, was the daughter of the Tang family.
However, Gu Shimo was so disgusted with the Tang family that she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan poured herself a glass of water.
She decided to tell Gu Shimo about her discovery in the capital when she returned to South City.
Ten minutes later.
Qin Wan dialed the number that Leng Xiaoduan had called yesterday.
The phone rang several times, but no one picked up.
Ye Qingwan wasn’t in a hurry. She held her phone in one hand and held a glass of water in the other.
It wasn’t until the ringing stopped that the call was picked up.
A cold and impatient voice sounded.” Hey.”
“Hello, I’m the sister of the girl you saved yesterday…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the other party hung up.
Ye Qingwan looked at the 20-second call log and frowned.
Leng Xiaoduan was not exaggerating at all when he said that the other party had a bad temper.
Since she didn’t want to be disturbed, she decided to forget about it. She sent a message to Leng Xiaoduan to tell her about the situation.
After that, he wrote another message to send to Yang Feng, saying that he had to return to South City today and could not go to the Tang family for dinner.
[Wanwan, do we have to go back today? I’m still working outside.]
Yang Feng quickly replied.
Ye Qingwan replied,[Hmm.]
After clicking send, she thought for a while and sent another message.
[You do your thing. There’s no hurry. I’ll go back first.]
[What time is your flight? I’ll send you to the airport.]
Ye Qingwan didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she logged into the APP and booked a flight ticket. Then, she took a screenshot and sent it to Yang Feng.
—-
Nancheng, in the VIP ward of the hospital.
Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan had been on the phone for less than a minute.
Fu Yushen pushed the door open and walked in.
He was still carrying a bag of apples.” I passed by a fruit stall just now. They were having a discount, so I bought a 10-yuan one.”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s mouth twitched.
She watched as he walked to the bed and placed a bag of apples on the table.” How many pounds?” she asked calmly.”
“I don’t know. I think it’s about seven pounds. I thought it would be good for you to eat more fruits since you’re injured. Your woman isn’t here, so I bought you a bag.”
“Since you’ve bought it, cut someone and let me have a taste.”
Gu Shimo instructed Fu Yushen calmly.
Fu Yushen raised his eyebrows and smiled.” Okay.””
He picked up the fruit knife, pulled out a chair, and sat in front of the bed. He began to show off his professionalism in peeling fruits.
“Did you know that your cousin and Xue Yunfei are very close?”
On the hospital bed, Gu Shimo watched Fu Yushen peel an apple and asked casually.
Fu Yushen blinked in surprise.” I don’t know. What’s wrong?” Isn’t that Xue Yunfei your friend?”
“Yes.”
“Then what do you mean by asking this?”
“Just asking.”
“..”
Fu Yushen lowered his head and continued peeling the apple.” I’ve interrogated Mu Yuan. He promised to kidnap Leng Xiaoduan…”
“Leave it to the lawyer.”
At the mention of Mu Yuan, Gu Shimo’s handsome brows instantly turned cold.
Fu Yushen looked up at him.
Changing the topic, the person who attacked you abroad, do you know the origin of the person?”
“I only know that it’s a professional.”
After a moment of silence, Gu Shimo said coldly,
An ordinary person’s attack would not be able to hurt him.
Ever since he was young, Gu Xiaoquan had strictly required him to learn self-defense and boxing. During the holidays, he was even thrown into the wild to survive…Ever since he was fourteen, he had been attacked once a year.
The only time she was injured was when Ye Qingwan turned 18.
He had been in a cold war with her for the past few days, so he wanted to use her birthday to coax her and end the cold war.
That was why he was injured.
Chapter 304: Master, Can You Do It? Chapter 304: Master, Can You Do It? “..”
Fu Yushen frowned and looked at Gu Shimo with a heavy gaze.
“Shi Mo, you’ve mentioned this before. I want to ask if there have been any new clues in the past few days?”
He knew that Gu Shimo’s men were also investigating.
Gu Shimo shook his head.” Not yet.”
“Do you think it’s related to Zhao Qinlan?”
Fu Yushen asked after a pause.
Zhao Qinlan looked like she hadn’t been in charge for many years and was just a wealthy wife who enjoyed life.
However, he had heard from Gu Shimo that she still had people in the Gu Corporation.
Gu Shimo glanced at him indifferently.” What’s the use of suspecting her? We don’t even know where she’s hiding now.”
“Be careful these days. No matter who it is, I’m afraid they’ll find out that you’re only injured and not dead. He would take advantage of the fact that you had no strength to fight back now and do it again.”
Gu Shimo’s eyes darkened.
“If you have extra people, help me keep an eye on two people. From them, you might be able to find clues and find Zhao Qinlan.”
” Who? A shareholder of your company?”
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo mentioned two people.
Fu Yushen noted it down.” No problem.”
After Fu Yushen left, Gu Shimo asked Zuo Zhi to push him downstairs to get some fresh air.
Downstairs, he wanted to stand up by himself, so Zuo Zhi had to help him up.
She asked worriedly,” Master, can you do it? Why don’t you just sit down?””
“..”
Gu Shimo gave him a cold glance. The Left Executive immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore.
After walking a few steps with Zuo Zhi’s help, Gu Shimo’s phone rang and he sat back in his wheelchair.
It was a message from Ye Qingwan.[Brother Shi Mo, I’m going through the security check.]]
Below the text, there was a photo of the plane ticket.
Looking at the flight time, Gu Shimo’s lips curled into a warm smile.
“Master, is Miss Wanwan coming back?”
Seeing that Gu Shimo was in a good mood, Zuo Executive could not help but look at him curiously and asked with a smile.
Gu Shimo hummed in acknowledgment.
Before he could say anything to the Left Deacon, a voice suddenly came from the rockery on the left.” Zixi’s father.””
Gu Shimo looked up when he heard the voice and saw a woman in a fashionable dress walking over with a happy smile on her face.
“Zixi’s father, it’s really you. I thought I saw wrongly.”
The Left Executive looked at the woman in front of him with a blank expression, then lowered his head to look at Shi Mo.
Gu Shimo frowned.
He seemed to not remember who this woman was.
Seeing that he didn’t recognize her, she didn’t feel awkward and introduced herself enthusiastically.” My name is He Meijuan. I’m Zixi’s classmate, He Xiaoran’s mother. Zixi’s father, we talked during the fire drill last time, and you even helped me.””
“Oh.”
Since she was Zixi’s classmate’s mother, Gu Shimo was not too cold.
But it was also cold.
He Meijuan’s smile disappeared, and she frowned and asked with concern,” Zixi’s father, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick and hospitalized?””
“Yes.”
“Aiya, no wonder our Little Ran said that you were the one who sent Zixi to school previously. I haven’t seen you send Zixi to school recently. Which department and ward are you in? Why don’t you wait for me? I’ll be right back.”
After He Meijuan finished speaking, she did not wait for Gu Shimo to reply.
She turned around and jogged towards the hospital entrance.
Zuo Zhi looked at He Meijuan’s back in shock and asked Gu Shimo,” Master, should we wait here for her to come back?”
Gu Shimo’s handsome brows were covered with a layer of indifference.” Wait here.””
“Master, I’ll wait here. What about you?”
“Get the nurse to push me back to the ward.”
“Master, if she asks for your ward and phone number, should I tell her?”
The Left Executive asked blankly.
If it was any other woman, he would know what to do.
But this woman was Young Master Zixi’s classmate and parent.
Zuo Zhi knew that his grandpa was afraid that being too cold would not be good for Young Master Zixi.
Gu Shimo glanced at her coldly.” You don’t have to leave your ward number. If you want to leave it, just give me your phone number.”
The Left Executive widened his eyes.
“Call the nurse.”
Gu Shimo instructed the Left Executive.
Zuo Zhi then called the nurse. Two minutes later, the nurse rushed over.
Chapter 305: Help Pick Zixi Up Chapter 305: Help Pick Zixi Up Zuo Zhi watched as the nurse pushed Gu Shimo into the inpatient department.
Then, he retracted his gaze and waited for He Meijuan with a bitter face.
He waited for about ten minutes.
He saw He Meijuan carrying two bags of fruits as she walked out of the hospital.
The Left Deacon hesitated for a moment, then slowly went up to him.
He Meijuan looked left and right. When she walked to his side, she did not recognize him. He was still walking forward to look for Gu Shimo.
“Ms. He.”
the Left Executive said lightly.
He Meijuan didn’t know that he was calling her, so she continued walking forward.
The Left Executive raised his hand to touch his forehead. He was very depressed. He raised his voice and called out,” Ms. He Meijuan.””
He Meijuan, who was carrying two bags of fruits, turned around.
He looked at the Left Executive in surprise.” You are?”
The Left Executive’s expression was a little indifferent.
He was ignored to such an extent, yet he still had to explain.” My master told me to wait for you here.”
“Ah, oh…Yes, you were with Zixi’s father just now.”
He Meijuan sized up the Left Executive.
She heard him say,” Xi’s father is my grandfather.”
She immediately stopped smiling and straightened her back.
It was as if she was a little nobler than Zuo Zhi.
“These are the fruits I bought for Zixi’s father.”
Zuo Zhi had seen all sorts of people over the years when he had been by Gu Shimo’s side.
He could read He Meijuan’s every expression, action, and sentence.
He reached out to take the two bags of fruits from her and asked calmly,” Ms. He, how much are these two bags of fruits? My master asked me to transfer it to you.”
“How can I ask for money? Lead the way, I don’t know which ward Zixi’s father is in.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. He. My master doesn’t like to be disturbed. It will affect his recovery.”
He Meijuan’s expression was a little awkward, and she couldn’t keep her smile.
However, she wanted to see Gu Shimo and talk to him.
She still had a smile on her face.” I won’t disturb Zixi’s father’s recovery. There are some questions about the child that I want to discuss with Zixi.”
The Left Hand wanted to explode with violence.
Who did this woman think she was? She was discussing children with his master.
She didn’t go to her daughter’s father to discuss it with him. Instead, she went to another man. There was something wrong with her.
“Another day. My master is sick and needs to rest.”
Zuo Zhi looked down at the fruit in his hand and asked He Meijuan,” Ms. He, do you really not want money? If that’s the case, I’ll have to thank Ms. He for the fruits. You can go ahead and do whatever you want. I have to go back and take care of my master.”
“Alright.”
He Meijuan stood still and watched Zuo Zhi enter the Inpatient Department.
She quickly followed him, wanting to know which ward Gu Shimo was in.
However, there were so many people who went in together.
Almost every single floor was occupied.
He Meijuan could only confirm that Gu Shimo was staying in a single-story ward.
After some thought, she ran to the front desk and asked.
—-
In the ward.
Gu Shimo watched as Zuo Zhi came in with two bags of fruits.
He asked coldly,” Did you give her money?”
Zuo Zhi shook his head.” I’ve asked her. She doesn’t want money.”
The Left Executive put down the fruits as he walked to the hospital bed.
She told Gu Shimo,” Master, when I came up just now, she was following behind me. She wanted to know which floor you were staying on.”
Gu Shimo’s expression turned cold.
There was no answer.
Zuo Zhi touched his nose and said,” Master, I think she will ask the front desk.”
“Go get Zixi. Take these fruits to the nurse and ask him to distribute them to the people in the other wards.”
Gu Shimo instructed casually.
It was impossible for He Meijuan to find out which ward he was staying in from the front desk.
“Yes, sir.”
The Left Executive then took out the fruits that he had brought in.
After giving the fruit to the nurse, he took the elevator downstairs. As expected, He Meijuan was still in the lobby on the first floor.
She saw him. This time, He Meijuan greeted him warmly. She wasn’t as cold as before. Instead, she greeted him with a smile.
“Zixi’s father’s bodyguard.”
Zuo Zhi was speechless.
He Meijuan smiled and asked,” I asked the front desk just now, but I couldn’t find out which ward Zixi’s father is staying in. It seems like he really doesn’t want to be disturbed.” That’s good too. He won’t be disturbed and can recuperate in peace. I’m relieved.”
“..”
“By the way, school is about to end. Zixi’s father is injured and can’t go pick Zixi up. I’ll help bring Zixi over later.”
Chapter 306: Do You Like That Auntie? Chapter 306: Do You Like That Auntie? “There’s no need to trouble Ms. He. Our young master has a car to pick him up.”
The Left Executive’s face darkened.
He Meijuan was still warm-hearted.” How can this be trouble? Our Xiao Ran and Zixi are classmates. This is the closest relationship. We are family…Did you go to pick Zixi up?”
He Meijuan didn’t continue, perhaps because she saw Zuo Zhi’s ugly expression.
The Left Executive nodded and left.
He Meijuan jogged to the parking lot with him.
When Zuo Zhi opened the car door and got in, she said,” Zixi’s father’s bodyguard. Since you’re going to pick Zixi up, let me hitch a ride with you.””
“..”
Zuo Zhi turned around and saw He Meijuan opening the door to the back seat and getting in.
” Our Xiao Ran and Zixi have a very good relationship. She comes back every day and tells me that Zixi is her best friend…”
This sentence made the Left Executive retract his thoughts of chasing her out of the car.
His face was cold.” Ms. He, do you have to get into anyone’s car?”
He Meijuan didn’t seem to understand the sarcasm and displeasure in his tone.” Of course not. I got into your car because Xiao Ran trusted Zixi. It was said that friendship between classmates was the purest and most precious…Ah, slow down.”
He Meijuan almost hit her head when Zuo Zhi suddenly started driving.
“I’ve always been an unstable driver. If Ms. He is afraid, it’s not too late to get off now.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Zuo Zhi was speechless.
—-
As soon as the car stopped at the school, He Meijuan rushed out of the car and held onto the trash can by the roadside to vomit.
In the main seat.
Zuo Zhi looked out through the window and snorted before he opened the car door and got out.
He Meijuan only stood up after he carried Zixi out.
There were people walking around. Some parents who knew He Meijuan came up to her and asked if she needed help.
Zixi blinked in surprise and said to Zuo Zhi,” Uncle Zuo Zhi, that’s He Xiaoran’s mother.”
The Left Executive had yet to speak.
On the other side, He Meijuan walked towards them. Although she had vomited until her face was pale, she still called out happily,” Zixi.”
Zi Xi and He Xiaoran were in the same group.
There were four children sitting at their table, and he sat opposite He Xiaoran.
Their relationship was usually quite good.
He Meijuan often greeted Zixi.
Zixi turned to look behind her and said,” Auntie, He Xiaoran is still waiting for you inside.””
He Meijuan nodded.” Zixi, I met your father at the hospital this afternoon. He’s sick, so you have to take good care of him.””
“Ms. He, we still have something to do.”
The Left Executive pulled Ye Zixi and left.
After getting into the car, Ye Zixi asked Zuo Zhi curiously,” Uncle Zuo Zhi, are you afraid of He Xiaoran’s mother?”
The Left Executive was startled.
She looked into Zixi’s big, beautiful eyes.” No, why would I be afraid of her?””
“Then why did you pull me away like you were avoiding the plague just now?”
The corner of Zuo Zhi’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t tell Zixi that the auntie was too enthusiastic towards his father.
Hence, she could only retort stiffly,” No.”
Zixi pursed her lips.
He had an expression of understanding.
“Uncle Zuo Zhi, do you like that auntie?”
“Cough cough cough…”
The Left Executive choked on his own saliva and coughed.
“Young Master Zixi, that’s not true. Don’t make wild guesses.”
“You’re saying that because you think I’m a child, right?”
Zixi pouted and said,” When we left just now, that auntie still wanted to talk to you. It could be that he likes you.” Otherwise, why would she take your car to school?”
The Left Deacon felt that he could not clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, nor could he explain himself.
He decided to change the topic.
“Young Master Zixi, I have good news for you. Your mother will be back tonight.”
“Really?”
Zixi’s eyes lit up.” Uncle Zuo Zhi, what time will Mommy arrive?””
—-
In the capital.
Xue family.
Xue Hongchang was on the phone with Zhao Qinlan in the study when there was a knock on the door.
Xue Yunfei’s voice came from outside.” Dad.”
“Come in.”
Xue Hongchang said and then said to Zhao Qinlan on the other end of the phone,” I’ll tell you the detailed plan later.”
Chapter 307: Exchange of Conditions Chapter 307: Exchange of Conditions The moment Xue Hongchang hung up the phone, the study door was pushed open from the outside.
Xue Yunfei came in from the door and looked at him with a strange look in her eyes. She asked lightly,” Dad, who were you talking to on the phone just now?”
“I’m talking to a client. Feifei, what’s the matter?”
A smile appeared on Xue Yunfei’s face, but it did not reach her eyes.” Dad, I’m here to discuss something with you.”
“What is it?”
Xue Hongchang walked out from his desk.
He walked over to the sofa and gestured for Xue Yunfei to sit down.
Xue Yunfei sat down in front of the sofa and said to Xue Hongchang,” Dad, I want to break off the engagement with Tang Yiheng.”
“Why?”
Xue Hongchang’s expression changed immediately.
His smiling face turned serious and unhappy.” Whether it’s Yi Heng or the Tang family, they’re both the most suitable for you. Besides, the two of you were engaged when you were young. How can you call off the engagement just like that?””
“But he doesn’t love me, and I don’t like him either.”
Xue Yunfei looked straight at Xue Hongchang.
“Dad, I don’t want to be like you and my mom. We’re bound together for the sake of benefits for the rest of our lives.”
“What are you talking about? Why are your mother and I not even as good as business partners?”
“Aren’t you the clearest? If your relationship is good, would you find another woman outside? Would my brother rather live alone outside than go home?”
“Life is not perfect.”
Xue Hongchang frowned and said,” Your mother and I got together back then, which is why you siblings and the Xue family are in such a grand situation now. Feifei, as the daughter of Xue Hongchang, the daughter of the Xue family, and the socialite of the Imperial Capital, you are the most important person in the world. If you enjoy the glory and wealth that others can’t enjoy, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility.”
“Dad, do you have to bear the corresponding responsibility because I’m enjoying the glory and wealth, or do you have to force me to marry because the Tang family isn’t all like that? Aren’t we all clear in our hearts?”
“Anyway, you have to marry Tang Yiheng. Other than Tang Yiheng, no other man is worthy of your status as the daughter of the Xue family.”
“What if I make an exchange with Dad?”
“Exchange?”
Xue Hongchang looked at Xue Yunfei angrily.
Had she grown wings?
Did he negotiate with his father?
The Tang family was not an ordinary family.
“I heard that all the members of the Tang family are here, and the son in her belly is also the heir of the Tang family. In fact, if he returned to the Tang family, he would have more inheritance rights than Tang Yiheng.”
Xue Hongchang narrowed his eyes and stared at Xue Yunfei.” You know where Tang Ying and her son are?”
“I don’t know who I’m going to find for now, but I can.””
Xue Yunfei said confidently.
Xue Hongchang sneered.” Do you think anyone can inherit the Tang family’s business? Then you’re underestimating Tang Songkang and Tang Yiheng. Now, the power of the Tang family is in the hands of the father and son. Not to mention that Tang Ying’s son doesn’t dare to come back, even if he does, it’ll be…”
At this point.
Xue Hongchang stopped.
Xue Yunfei said unhappily,” Who knows if we don’t try? Dad, as long as you agree to let me break off the engagement with Tang Yiheng. I’ll just pretend that I don’t know about the lovers you’ve kept outside behind my mother’s back, including the wanted criminal, Zhao Qinlan.”
“You…”
Xue Hongchang’s eyes widened in shock.
Xue Yunfei stood up unhurriedly.
She forced a smile.” Dad, are you surprised that I know you’re hiding a wanted criminal? If this matter is exposed, it won’t just ruin your reputation, Dad. It will also ruin the reputation of our entire Xue family.”
“How dare you threaten me?”
Xue Hongchang instantly flew into a rage from embarrassment.
Xue Yunfei didn’t dodge the storm in his eyes.” Dad, I just don’t want to be manipulated by others. I can decide my own life, and my happiness is the same. I can promise you that no matter what kind of man I choose, I will make the Xue family more glorious in my hands.”
“What guarantee do you have?”
Xue Hongchang didn’t believe her.
Xue Yunfei raised her eyebrows and said in an imposing voice,” I’m the daughter of the Xue family and a socialite in the capital. I’m used to enjoying this kind of wealth. If I want to marry, I’ll definitely marry a better and more outstanding man than Tang Yiheng.””
Chapter 308: High Quality Imitation, Plundering Chapter 308: High Quality Imitation, Plundering Gu Shimo was the most perfect man in Xue Yunfei’s heart.
Since she dared to talk to Xue Hongchang, she was more than 50% confident.
Although Xue Hongchang had a mistress and a child outside, he did not dare to expose it.
Now that he was threatened by Xue Yunfei, his old face turned black again and again. It took him a while to suppress his anger.
She said in a low voice,” I can not object, but I will not come forward to cancel the engagement for you.”
“You don’t have to do this. I’ll talk to him myself.”
“Alright then.”
Xue Hongchang was silent for a few seconds.
She then said,” I’ve agreed to it, but you have to keep it a secret.”
“Don’t worry, Dad.”
Xue Yunfei shrugged and happily left the study to look for her mother, Jiang Min.
Half an hour later.
Xue Yunfei settled Jiang Min.
The method he used was similar to the one he used on Xue Hongchang.
Xue Hongchang and Jiang Min both had their own men outside. One had a mistress, and the other had a gigolo.
Xue Yunfei had known this since a long time ago.
Moreover, she had been persistently looking for someone to follow them all these years in order to obtain the latest information.

Nancheng Airport.
Ye Qingwan and Gu Fengfeng came out of the security check and a driver came to pick them up.
After they got into the car, the driver told Ye Qingwan that Ye Zixi was also accompanying Gu Shimo at the hospital.” Miss Wanwan, Master asked me to bring you home. Have your meal first before going to the hospital.”
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
Anyway, he was back, and he was in no hurry to spend that little bit of time.
She logged into WeChat and looked at the message sent by Leng Xiaoduan.
[Sister Qingwan, do you know this public account?]
Below the text was a screenshot.
Ye Qingwan clicked on it and saw a public account called ” Blue Cloud.”
She frowned slightly and searched for the official account.
The style of the article was completely imitated from their Qingyun Wan.
There were even corresponding video accounts, Weibo accounts, and the registration of the most popular platforms. They were all high-quality imitations of them.
[Yes, they’ve only registered for a week.]
Ye Qingwan replied to Leng Xiaoduan.
Leng Xiaoduan called immediately.
“Sister Qingwan, should we go through legal procedures? We can’t let them plagiarize us like this.”
“Let’s observe for a few days, collect evidence, and make a detailed color palettes…”
“But I really want to sue them immediately. They’re too shameless. Not only do they copy the names of the public accounts and videos, but they also copy the content of the articles. The most hateful thing was that under the article on our official account, we would even recommend this official account.”
If Leng Xiaoduan hadn’t seen the smart recommendation of the official account under their article today, he wouldn’t have known about its existence.
The icon was the same.
Not to mention that someone would click on it by mistake, even if they were not mistaken, they would click on it when they saw such a similar name.
“Yes, I know.”
Ye Qingwan also saw the public account recommended by the US.” We’ll discuss it tomorrow at work.””

At the hospital.
In the ward, Ye Zixi was explaining to Gu Shimo what he had learned today.
For some reason, he added,” Daddy, when are you and Mommy going to register your marriage?”
Gu Shimo smiled and replied,” Wait for your mother to come back and for me to recover from my injuries.”
“My mother will be back tonight. Can you go and get the marriage certificate tomorrow? This way, I can always call you Daddy and not hide it from Mommy.”
Gu Shimo looked at Zixi’s big, clear eyes and said softly,” Zixi, come closer.”
Ye Zixi took two steps forward.
Gu Shimo’s broad palm touched his head.
Ye Zixi looked up at him with her handsome little face.” Daddy, are you afraid that Mommy won’t agree to it?””
“No.”
Gu Shimo said gently,” Zixi, Daddy told me something.”
“Yes, what is it? Tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you.”
Ye Zixi thought that Gu Shimo wanted him to help persuade his mother to marry him.
He looked at Gu Shimo’s handsome face, even though it was slightly inferior to his.
But it wasn’t that ugly.
She wondered if she should encourage him.
She heard Gu Shimo say,” I’m not asking you to help. I want to tell you a secret.”
“Ah, what secret?”
Chapter 309: I Have a Father Chapter 309: I Have a Father “We don’t have to hide it from Mom in the future.”
Gu Shimo stroked Ye Zixi’s head and said gently.
Ye Zixi blinked her big beautiful eyes in confusion.” Daddy, we don’t have to hide anything from Mommy.”
“Zixi, I’m your father. In the past, I told you that your father died because there was a misunderstanding between me and my mother. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you don’t have to be afraid of Mommy hearing you call me Daddy anymore.”
“..”
Ye Zixi’s eyes widened in shock.
She looked up at Gu Shimo.
After a long while, she licked her tongue and asked in a childish voice,” Daddy, you’re really my daddy. Are you still alive?”
Gu Shimo nodded.” Daddy isn’t dead.”
“So, you didn’t have plastic surgery to look like me. You’re the original. You look like me from the start?”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s mouth twitched.
Looking at Ye Zixi’s serious face, he still smiled and nodded.” Yes, I look like this. There’s one thing that needs to be corrected. It’s Zixi who looks like Daddy, not Daddy who looks like Zixi.””
“Why can’t Daddy look like me?”
Zixi was an obedient child, so she asked whenever she didn’t understand.
However, it didn’t look like he didn’t understand. Instead, he looked more like he was dissatisfied.
Gu Shimo smiled and said,” It’s because you had your father before you had Zixi. That’s why I said that Zixi looks like your father and mother.”
“No, no, I won’t look like my mother. I’m a boy. Only my sister will look like my mother. Dad, since you’re really my dad, then give birth to a younger sister for me.”
Zixi had always liked being an older brother and protecting his younger sister.
In school, Jiang Mianmian was a few months younger than him, so he would take care of her.
“You can ask Mom when she comes back. If Mom is willing to give birth to a younger sister for you, then I have no objections.”
“Then it’s a deal. If Mom is willing, you can’t go back on your word.”
From the moment Zixi had secretly called Gu Shimo ‘daddy’, he had already determined that Gu Shimo was his father.
Therefore, Gu Shimo had told him about this matter.
For the young Zixi, it was just a momentary surprise.
After the shock, he did not feel much different. He did not reject it as Gu Shimo had worried.
On the way from the airport to the hospital.
Ye Qingwan received a message from the story.
[Wanwan, I’ve already told Zi Xi that I’m his father.]
Ye Qingwan was surprised when she saw the news.
He immediately typed a message and sent it over.[What did Zixi say?]
Gu Shimo replied,[Zixi was only shocked for a moment. She’ll be fine after that. You don’t have to worry.]]
When Ye Qingwan arrived at the hospital, it was already dark.
He took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as she came out of the elevator, Ye Zixi, who was waiting in the corridor, called out in a low voice,” Mom.””
He ran towards her.
Ye Qingwan bent down and hugged Zixi gently.
“Mom, I miss you.”
Ye Zixi looked up from Ye Qingwu’s arms and blinked her big beautiful eyes at her.” Mommy has good news for you. I have a father now.””
“Yeah,” she said.
Hearing Ye Zixi’s tender and joyful voice say this, he felt a little uneasy.
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat.
The guilt she felt for him surged into her heart.
She hugged Ye Zixi tighter, but her voice was as gentle as a lake.” Zixi, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before.””
“Mom, I’m happy. You don’t have to apologize to me. My father didn’t die. He’s still alive. Mom must have thought that my father was dead.”
The innocent and kind Ye Zixi comforted Ye Qingwan.
“Mom, you don’t have to be sad. I have a father in the future. No one will dare to bully me anymore. I’m not worried that someone will bully my mother before I grow up.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan’s eyes were sore.
Thinking about Ye Zixi’s persistence in finding a new father, she felt that she could not make up for the debt she owed her.
She was the one who lied to Zixi, but Zixi comforted her.
This made her feel that she was not a qualified mother.
Chapter 310: Late Night Visit Chapter 310: Late Night Visit Ye Qingwan took her son’s hand and entered the ward.
Zixi grabbed Gu Shimo’s two slender fingers with her other hand and asked in a childish voice,” Daddy, Mommy, are you two never going to be separated again?”
Gu Shimo nodded.” Yes, we’ll never be separated again.”
“Then I can rest assured.”
Ye Zixi looked at Gu Shimo, then at Ye Qingwan, and then put their hands together.
Her small body took a step back.
Finally, she felt relieved and said,” Dad, Mom, I’m going home to sleep. I still have to go to school tomorrow. You guys can play.””
“Brother Shi Mo, I’ll accompany Zixi back first.”
Ye Qingwan looked at Zixi who ran to the door after saying that, and her heart softened like a lake.
Gu Shimo looked at Ye Qingwan’s delicate eyebrows and said in a low and gentle voice,” You’re tired too. Go back and have a good night’s rest. Come back tomorrow. You don’t have to come back to the hospital tonight.””
–
Ye Qingwan had promised Gu Shimo that she would not go back to the hospital tonight.
But that was just a casual promise.
He didn’t really think that way.
On the way home, Ye Zixi told Ye Qingwan,” Mom, He Xiaoran’s mom greets me every day. She even gives me chocolates and praises me for being pretty.””
“Is that so? Do you want chocolate?”
Ye Qingwan asked gently, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Ye Zixi shook her head.” No, Mom said that I can’t accept other people’s things. I don’t want to. If I want to eat chocolate, I can go home and eat it.””
Ye Qingwan smiled.” Yes, Zixi is great. You just can’t take other people’s things.””
Zixi’s eyes sparkled when she was praised by her mother.
He laughed and said mysteriously,” Mom, I seem to have discovered a secret.”
“What secret?”
“That’s right. Uncle Zhi picked me up from school this afternoon. When He Xiaoran’s mother called us, he was so scared that he pulled me and ran.”
At this point, Zixi’s eyes rolled.
“I think He Xiaoran’s mother likes Uncle Zuo Zhi, which is why he was scared away.”
Gu Feng, who was driving in front, twitched his mouth.
Ye Qingwan was also shocked by Ye Zixi’s words.
“Zixi, you might be wrong.”
She explained gently,” Uncle Zuo Zhi dragged you along, but it doesn’t mean that the auntie likes him. It was also possible that he did not like to talk to unfamiliar aunties.”
“Is it like this?”
“Yes.”
“Alright then.”

After Ye Zixi fell asleep, Ye Qingwan went back to her room to take a shower.
She went downstairs again and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge for Gu Shimo to bring to the hospital.
When she came out of the elevator, she saw a woman in pajamas in front of Gu Shimo’s ward. She was holding a thermos box and was talking to two bodyguards.
It seems to be sending supper
Ye Qingwan walked toward them.
The two bodyguards turned around and saw her, and one of them came up to her.
He asked respectfully,” Miss Wanwan, why are you back again?”
Ye Qingwan smiled and said,”I brought some porridge for Brother Shi Mo as supper.””
At this point, she looked up at the woman a few steps away.
Her gaze swept across the thermos box in the other party’s hand and she asked calmly,”Ms. He, are you here to see Brother Shi Mo so late at night?””
He Meijuan met Ye Qingwan’s smiling eyes and subconsciously lifted the thermos box in her hand.
A charming smile appeared on her face, which had been meticulously put on makeup.” I met Zixi’s father this afternoon and saw that she had bodyguards pushing her downstairs to get some fresh air, so I specially made porridge and brought it over.”
Ye Qingwan looked at her for two seconds.
She was wearing pajamas even though her makeup was exquisite.
Moreover, this kind of pajamas did not seem to be suitable for visiting a patient of the opposite sex in the middle of the night.
She smiled and instructed the bodyguard beside her,”Ms. He, it’s so late at night, and you’ve come all the way here to see Brother Shi Mo. Why didn’t you accept it and even let her carry it?””
“Yes, Miss Wanwan.”
He Meijuan had been talking for a long time just now, but the bodyguards were not willing to accept the porridge she was carrying.
Now that Ye Qingwan had spoken, the bodyguard not only respected her but also quickly reached out to ask her for porridge.” Miss He, please give it to me.””
He Meijuan wanted to refuse, but before she could say it, Ye Qingwan said,”It’s too late tonight. Brother Shi Mo and I will treat Miss He to a meal another day.””
