Ch. 541..550

Chapter 541: Father And Son Are Not Of The Same Heart

In the dim light, Ye Qingwan looked troubled.

He answered ambiguously,

"I can’t make the decision on this matter. There was a saying,’Don’t persuade others to be good before they suffer.’ I don’t know what Gu Shimo is thinking, and I won’t interfere in his matters easily."

He paused.

She then said,"I can convey your words to him. As for what he decides, that’s his business. I can’t control him, and I won’t make decisions for him arbitrarily."" View the correct content at NovelFire)

Ye Qingwan’s reaction was within Tang Yiheng’s expectations.

Therefore, he was not too disappointed. Instead, he was a little envious of the way she interacted with Gu Shimo.

"Seeing how much you and Gu Shimo respect and trust each other, I believe that the two of you will definitely grow old together. The two of you should be together in an atmosphere that makes each other feel at ease, right?"

"Ah, this, it’s more or less the same..."

Ye Qingwan was not used to people who were not familiar with her discussing her and Gu Shimo.

The two of them casually chatted about some unimportant things.

Tang Yiheng tried to persuade her again when he reached the door.

"Miss Ye, I hope you can bring Grandpa and my sincerity to Gu Shimo.

He’s still the Tang family’s flesh and blood. Returning to the Tang family will only make him even more powerful. Even if he doesn’t think for himself, doesn’t he have to think for you and Zixi?

The Tang family’s huge family business always needed someone to inherit it."

Ye Qingwan did not answer him directly.

He still insisted on his previous position and said,

"I’ll tell Gu Shimo the truth."

After Ye Qingwan got into the car, Tang Yiheng slowly walked back.

The weather was cold. Under the light, one could see that the air they exhaled had turned white.

He wrapped his coat tightly around himself and was about to jog back when his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone from his pocket and saw that the caller ID was his father, Tang Songkang.

He hesitated for a moment before answering the call." Dad?"

"Yi Heng, how is it? Your grandfather has been there for more than ten days."

Tang Song asked calmly on the phone.

There was not much concern from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Yiheng slowed down and said calmly,

"There hasn’t been any progress for the time being. Gu Shimo hasn’t returned from his business trip."

"Your grandfather hasn’t seen him yet?"

"Yes, Grandpa called Gu Shimo’s fiancée, who is also the mother of Gu Shimo’s child, over for a meal today."

Tang Yiheng told her about Ye Qingwan’s visit, how Old Master Tang had chatted with her, and how he had asked Ye Qingwan to persuade Gu Shimo to accept Old Master Tang.

After Tang Songkang heard it, he said coldly,"

"I see that Gu Shi Mo’s ambition is not here. A melon that is forced is not sweet. There is no need to force him to accept the Tang family. It’s not a business deal to rush up. Instead, it seems that my Tang family is begging him."

Tang Yiheng naturally knew what his father, Tang Songkang, was thinking.

Tang Songkang was only the adopted son of Tang Baiyong.

Once Gu Shimo returned to the Tang family, Tang Songkang would be nothing.

All the hard work he had put in in his life had gone to waste. How could he be willing?

"Although you say that, Gu Shimo is my aunt’s only bloodline after all. How can the Tang family’s bloodline be wandering outside? Since his grandfather had already found him, he would definitely not leave him alone."

"Then you should stop Grandpa. Yi Heng, what are you thinking? You were supposed to be the heir of the Tang family."

Tang Songkang really couldn’t understand how his son had no ambition at all.

"Dad, you know I’m not interested in those things. I’m just doing experiments and research. Those things that involve deception and deception are not suitable for me."

"Yes, you’re the noble one, and I’m the most vulgar! Why don’t you think about it carefully? If I hadn’t created such good material conditions for you, would you have the chance to say such peaceful and indifferent words?"

"Dad, that’s not what I meant."

Tang Yiheng sighed.

"Hmph, do you think I don’t know you? I really raised you for nothing. You’re siding with an outsider. Are you really my biological son?"

Tang Songkang hung up the phone angrily.

She stared at her phone for a while, feeling a chill.

Tang Yiheng put away his phone, put away the bad mood he had just had from talking to his father, and jogged home.

Chapter 542: He’s From the Tang Family

Yang Feng opened the door for Tang Yiheng and pointed to the room."

"Grandpa isn’t asleep yet. Go and greet him!"

How could Tang Yiheng not understand that Elder Tang was waiting for him?

He nodded to show that he understood. He changed his shoes, took off his coat, and walked into the room.

The lights in Elder Tang’s room were still on.

Tang Yiheng went to knock on the door and only pushed the door open when he heard a " please come in " from inside.

"Young Master is back?"

He Yutang, who was guarding Tang Baiyong’s bedside, greeted Tang Yiheng with a smile.

"Then you guys continue chatting. I’ll leave first. Yutang is waiting outside the door. Call me if there’s anything."

"You can go!"

Tang Baiyong waved his hand at him.

Tang Yiheng also politely nodded at He Yutang.

Although He Yutang was only an attendant in the Tang family.

However, after following the old master for so many years, he had worked hard even if he did not have any contributions.

No one in the Tang family dared to order him around like a servant. Only the old master could order him around.

"Grandpa!"

After He Yutang left, he closed the door.

Tang Yiheng went forward and sat down by Tang Baiyong’s bed.

"Have you talked to Ye Qingwan?"

Tang Baiyong had instructed Tang Yiheng to send Ye Qingwan off. Anyone who understood could see the meaning behind this.

"Yes, we’ve chatted."

Tang Yiheng roughly recounted the conversation he had with Ye Qingwan.

"Grandpa, you’ve been in South City for so long. It’s impossible for Gu Shimo not to know what you mean. Ye Qingwan must have talked to Gu Shimo about it a long time ago. From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to want to go back to the Tang family."

"It’s normal that he doesn’t want to return to the Tang family."

Tang Baiyong understood Gu Shimo.

"Not to mention that Gu Shimo already has the Gu Corporation in his hands, he can be considered to have a certain status. Even if he’s just an ordinary employee, he has the blood of the Tang family in his bones. He must have a proud side."

".."

"I can’t absolve myself of the blame for Xiao Ying’s death. He had never seen his biological mother since he was young and had never received her love. He was angry at me, blamed me, and hated me. I could understand."

"Grandpa."

"It’s precisely because of the mistake I made back then that I have to think of a way to make up for it. Otherwise, how can I face Xiao Ying in the afterlife?"

Tang Yiheng knew that Tang Baiyong was obsessed with Tang Ying’s death.

His only wish now was to acknowledge Gu Shi Mo. With Tang Baiyong’s personality, he would not give up easily.

"Grandpa, there’s no hurry. When he comes back from his business trip, I’ll think of a way to arrange for you to meet. I’ll have a good talk with him and let him see the sincerity of our Tang family."

"If once doesn’t work, then twice. If twice doesn’t work, then three times. I believe that he will be moved by your sincerity sooner or later."

Tang Baiyong reached out his hand and gently held Tang Yiheng’s hand.

"Yi Heng, thank you. I’ve gone through so much trouble to find Xiao Ying’s bloodline. Not only have you not complained, but you’ve also cooperated with me to the best of your ability. I can feel that you sincerely hope that Gu Shimo will return to his family."

"Grandpa, he’s a member of the Tang family. He should go home."

"But this matter isn’t easy for you.

If it weren’t for Gu Shimo, you would have been the only heir of the entire Tang family."

Tang Yiheng’s face was solemn as he immediately declared,

"Grandfather, Yi Heng has been well-read since he was young, learning the Dao of Confucius and Mencius. He still understood propriety, righteousness, and shame. If it weren’t for you, grandfather, who adopted my father and created such good material conditions for me, how could I have today’s achievements? Yi Heng might not have other talents, but he still had the realm of gratitude."

" Yes, yes, not bad. As expected of a descendant of the Tang family."

Tang Baiyong comforted him.

At this moment, in the capital.

Tang Songkang’s study was in a mess.

His biological son was not on the same side as him, and it really made him depressed and collapse. View the correct content at NovelFire

He had thought that by bringing his son out, the father and son would work together and the Tang family would be under his control.

Who knew that Tang Yiheng had read too many books and became a fool. He was loyal to Tang Baiyong and treated his biological father like an outsider.

He didn’t even think about how he, as his father, would harm him.

Chapter 543: This Elephant’s Surname Is Gu

Tang Songkang was already half dead.

A hundred years later, who would be the owner of these glorious legacies?

Tang Yiheng, this unfilial son, really made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Now, he couldn’t count on Tang Yiheng. If he didn’t help, Tang Songkang would be happy. NovelFire

If Tang Yiheng wanted to be a sage with a clear conscience, then let him go.

If I don’t go to hell, who will?

After all, he was Tang Yiheng’s father. He would bear all these sins!

Picking up his phone, Tang Songkang quickly flipped through the address book.

Her mind was spinning at high speed, thinking about how she could solve Gu Shimo’s problem once and for all.

Only when Gu Shimo no longer existed would he be able to inherit the Tang Empire legitimately without any obstacles.

After flipping through it for a long time, the list of records reached the part that began with X. Correct content is on NovelFire)

His finger lingered on the name ’Xue Hongchang’. After thinking for a while, he pressed the call button.

Although they had fallen out because their children were not married, there were no eternal enemies in the business world.

As long as there was profit to be gained, the two people who were fighting to the death one second could form an alliance the next second.

Among the people Tang Songkang knew, Xue Hong was one of them. His desire for the Gu Group was no less than Tang Songkang’s desire for the Tang Empire.

Of course, he had to find someone with ambition, determination, and confidence.

The call was connected, and Xue Hongchang’s loud and clear voice filled with doubt sounded.

"Aiyo, who is this? Could it be that his account was hacked?"

Tang Songkang chuckled.

"If you want to know if your account has been hacked, why don’t you come over and confirm it in person?"

Hearing Tang Songkang’s voice, Xue Hongchang’s suspicion deepened.

"It’s rare for President Tang to be so kind. How can Hong Chang disappoint you?"

They were all thousand-year-old foxes. Who didn’t know what was going on in each other’s hearts?

Since the other party had come looking for him, he would definitely not come to the temple without a reason, so he naturally had to investigate.

"Is it convenient for you to come out now? It was freezing cold, so they drank a cup of warm water together."

"I’m fine. Where are you going?"

Tang Songkang and Xue Hongchang met at a bar.

He asked for a private room and ordered a plate of wine and fruits. Tang Songkang told the waiter not to come in and disturb him.

Xue Hongchang’s house was far away from the bar. When he arrived, Tang Songkang was already waiting for him in the private room.

Xue Hongchang was really relieved to see Tang Songkang.

"Aiyo, what day is it today that you can still receive our President Tang’s hospitality?"

They were supposed to be in-laws, but because Xue Yunfei broke off the engagement, the two families became enemies.

Xue Hongchang never thought that the two families would reconcile one day. At least, it should not be the Tang family who initiated the reconciliation.

It could only be said that the world was ever-changing. There were always some things that one could not imagine.

"It wasn’t any day in the first place."

Tang Songkang poured a glass of wine for Xue Hongchang and handed it to him.

"However, since you’re here, it’s the first day of our sincere cooperation."

Xue Hongchang took the wine glass and said half-jokingly,"

"Is there poison in this wine?"

"It is indeed poisonous. You’ve heard of the saying,’A snake will swallow an elephant if its heart isn’t contented’, right? After drinking this glass of wine, you will become this snake that swallowed the elephant. Are you afraid?"

Xue Hongchang laughed.

"I wonder how big this elephant that President Tang is talking about is. What’s its name?"

"This elephant’s surname is Gu. I wonder if Brother Xue thinks this elephant is big enough?"

Xue Hongchang rolled his eyes.

"It’s quite big. I’m afraid that this little snake’s teeth aren’t good, and the elephant’s bones are too hard for me to chew."

Xue Hongchang probed.

Gu Shimo was a descendant of the Tang family, and Old Master Tang had already personally gone to South City to see him. He had made up his mind to make Gu Shimo acknowledge his ancestors.

Xue Hongchang wasn’t afraid of a man surnamed Gu, but there was a man surnamed Tang behind him. He couldn’t take it.

What was the purpose of this Tang Songkang? A person’s heart is hard to read. He, Xue Hongchang, had been in the business world for decades. He wasn’t someone who would just follow a big pie.

Tang Songkang naturally knew what he was afraid of.

 

Chapter 544: The Return of the Conqueror

"Brother Xue, do you not trust me? My surname is Tang, and his surname is Gu. We’re strangers, aren’t we?"

Xue Hongchang listened to him and reluctantly believed him.

"Why do I feel like President Tang is using me as a pawn?"

It was Tang Songkang who wanted to deal with Gu Shimo, but it was not convenient for him to step in.

That was why he had summoned Xue Hongchang and let him charge at the frontlines.

"As the saying goes,’wealth comes from risk’. Brother Xue, did you build the Xue Corporation by moving bricks at the construction site?"

Tang Songkang showed a disdainful smile.

"So what if you’re a pawn? As long as you’re a pawn crossing the river, what’s wrong with charging around? And I am the boat that will ferry you across the river."

A loud drum does not need to be beaten heavily, and a wise man does not need to be instructed.

A conversation between smart people did not need to be so clear.

Xue Hongchang was in the light, and Tang Songkang was in the dark. One was in the light, and the other was in the dark. Xue Hongchang only needed to focus on rushing forward, and Tang Songkang only needed to contain the Tang family.

To each other’s benefit, to each take what they need.

"I admire President Tang’s boldness!"

If a man wasn’t ruthless, his status wouldn’t be stable. At the critical moment, he would disregard his family!

Xue Hongchang raised his glass." Come, Brother Tang, let’s toast to our sincere cooperation!"

"Cheers!"

Tang Songkang smiled with satisfaction. He raised his glass and clinked it with Xue Hongchang’s.

Xue Hongchang had been coveting the Gu Corporation for a long time. However, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. He was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the environment if he attacked rashly.

Now that he had such a strong teammate joining him, what was there to be afraid of?

——

Gu Shimo had been on a business trip for a long time.

The main reason was that many things had happened before, causing so many plans to be temporarily put on hold.

Now that he had accumulated all these things, he might as well sort them out and plan a route. He would use a period of time to deal with all these matters.

In the past half a month, he had already taken more than ten flights to several countries in Southeast Asia. On the day when his schedule was the busiest, he had been to three cities. He was not called a workaholic for nothing.

Finally, he managed to complete the work that he had owed at this stage. View the correct content at NovelFire

He could finally go home.

Zuo Zhi booked the return flight and asked him,"

"Should we inform Secretary Lin to pick us up?"

Gu Shimo quickly stopped him.

"What time will the plane land?"

"Around 2:30 in the afternoon."

"Oh... There was no need to inform anyone. Don’t reveal the news of my return for the time being. I need to go somewhere first." Correct content is on NovelFire.

"Alright, Master!"

Qingyun Wan.

Previously, Leng Xiaoduan and Gao Jiaxiang had reached a preliminary agreement on long-term cooperation and drafted the first version of the cooperation agreement.

Ye Qingwan wanted to discuss the cooperation agreement with Gao Jiaxiang. After both parties agreed, a formal contract would be formed, signed, and stamped. The contract would take effect.

As they were discussing, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Qingwan thought it was Leng Xiaoduan, but she was too focused on her work to take it seriously. She didn’t even look up and just said," Please come in."

He then continued to discuss the next issue with Gao Jiaxiang.

There was a notebook on the table, and the contents of the agreement were in the computer file. Ye Qingwan held the mouse with her right hand and ticked a line.

Feeling thirsty, her gaze stopped on the screen and she read the contents of the agreement. She reached out her left hand and wanted to take a cup of water.

However, she didn’t get the cup she had imagined. She felt a chill on her ring finger as if something had slipped between her fingers.

She was shocked. When she turned around, she saw a dazzling ring on her left ring finger.

She had almost thought that Gao Jiaxiang had put the ring on her finger when she was unprepared. Fortunately, a familiar palm gently lifted her finger, and Gu Shimo’s handsome face, which was like a sculpture, came into view.

I’m back, Wanwan."

He bent down, and her fingers moved to his lips and kissed him gently.

Looking at his handsome eyes and hearing his voice, Ye Qingwan jumped up from her chair as if she was bewitched.

Without thinking, she pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

"Brother Shi Mo, you’re finally back. You don’t know, our large dog has been away for half a month, and I’m still worried that he might have lost his way. Do you think I should tie him up with a leash? No matter where he goes, I’ll pull the leash and he’ll come back obediently?"

 

Chapter 545: Ring

He let go of Ye Qingwan and looked at her face carefully.

"There’s no need to tie the chain. I’m afraid your chain isn’t long enough. Why don’t we give him a dog tag?"

As he spoke, Gu Shimo reached into his pocket, clenched his fist, and placed it in front of her eyes.

He opened his palm, revealing a similarly dazzling ring in his palm.

It was obvious that they were a pair with the one on her nameless finger.

Ye Qingwan recognized it as a couple ring from Shangmei Liens ’Lifetime series.

In French, Liens means " connect, connect ", while Shangmei Liens ’ring design uses the " connect " symbol that symbolizes the passionate embrace between lovers. Like a red line in the hands of a matchmaker, no matter how far apart they are, their fates will eventually be linked together.

Shangmei’s design was fashionable and unique. It looked simple and unadorned, but it was actually very meaningful and exquisite. Compared to Cartier and Tiffany, Ye Qingwan preferred Shangmei’s hidden exquisiteness.

"Look, this dog tag has the owner’s name on it. So, even if this large dog accidentally loses its way, it will be sent back to its owner by a kind person."

He picked up the man’s ring and pointed at the words on the inner ring.

The words " Love YQW " were engraved on the inner ring of the platinum ring.

YQW was the first letter of Ye Qingwan’s name.

She could not help but look down at the ring on her ring finger. She took it off and looked at the inner ring. Indeed, there were words engraved on the ring. The name on it was Gu Shimo’s " SSR ".

Wearing the ring was to tell others that he was taken.

Master’s name was in the ring.

"Why? Don’t you want to put a dog tag on your large dog?"Gu Shimo tilted his head to look at her and smiled.

Ye Qingwan picked up the ring and slowly put it on his left ring finger.

"This dog tag is a little too expensive."

She could not hide the smile on her face as she said.

"Because it’s precious!" His words had a double meaning.

He snatched the female ring that she had just taken off and put it back on her right ring finger without any explanation.

The two hands with rings on them were placed together. The white and slender fingers matched with the glittering ring, looking beautiful and complementing each other.

The two of them smiled at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with love.

When you appeared, the entire world suddenly had a ’whoosh’ sound. There was nothing else but each other.

"With this dog tag, you don’t have to worry about your dog getting lost."

He gently held her hand and the gentleness in his eyes seemed to melt her.

"Of course, you can’t abandon him. This is a lifetime contract."

Ye Qingwan put her fingers between his fingers and they interlocked.

"Welcome home, young paparazzo."

Her face shone like a platinum ring, and her eyes were filled with tenderness.

He swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

He lowered his head slightly and subconsciously wanted to explore her lips.

"Cough cough!"

Gao Jiaxiang, who had been forced to eat a big bowl of dog food, couldn’t stand it anymore. He deliberately coughed twice to remind the two who were as if no one else was around.

Why don’t you kill me to liven up the two of you? View the correct content at NovelFire

"Ah, sorry."

Ye Qingwan suddenly came back to her senses.

She was clearly very engrossed in discussing the terms of the contract with Gao Jiaxiang just now. How did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

"Um, Gao Jiaxiang, why don’t we discuss the contract later?"

Ye Qingwan blushed. She had accidentally shown off her love in front of others.

Gao Jiaxiang looked at her happy and shy face, then looked at Gu Shimo, who was standing beside her.

Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that the two of them were really a match made in heaven.

If he had confessed to Ye Qingwan earlier, would things have been different today?

"Alright, I’ll wait for your call."

Gao Jiaxiang said helplessly with a depressed face.

Gu Shimo did not say anything and only smiled slightly. His eyes could not hide the intention to chase the guest away. NovelFire

Just as Gao Jiaxiang’s feet left the door, Gu Shimo could not wait to close the door with a bang.

Gao Jiaxiang’s trousers were still stuck in the crack of the door, causing him to almost fall.

Chapter 546: Gu Shimo’s Ye Qingwan

In the conference room, Gu Shimo could not care less. He picked Ye Qingwan up and placed her on the conference table with a thud. His hot lips landed on hers.

He leaned against the edge of the conference table, one hand around her waist and the other hand behind her head.

The longing that she had accumulated for two weeks was released like a wild force. It was aggressive and seemed to want to drown her.

She was powerless to resist. She could only wrap her arms around his neck, cling to him, follow him, and let him do whatever he wanted...

This passionate kiss with destructive power almost made Ye Qingwan think that her soul was going to fly out of her body.

She leaned against him softly and breathed in the fresh air before she felt that she was slowly coming back to life.

"Brother Shi Mo, why did you suddenly come back just like that? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?"

After resting for a while, she finally had the strength to ask him.

"I wanted to give you a surprise. Are you happy to see me suddenly appear?"

"Yes." Her eyes were smiling.

"This is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

He lifted her right hand and gently touched the ring on her ring finger.

"It’s not a proposal ring. I’m afraid you won’t accept it."

"This is very good. I like it very much."

Although he wanted to give her the title of Mrs. Gu every day, she was still young and girls liked romance. They could date for a while longer. He was patient and could wait slowly.

As long as they were together and their hearts belonged to each other, what did it matter if he failed to propose a hundred times?

"It’s good that you like it. I’m finally relieved."

Actually, when Ye Zixi suggested that he give her a ring to propose to her, he had already considered it. Should he directly give her a diamond ring to propose or wear a pair of rings together? It would not give her pressure, but it would also show their relationship.

He looked at several brands of rings and finally chose this couple ring from Shangmei Liens ’Lifetime series.

Shangmei’s ring series was not only beautiful in design, but also had a beautiful meaning. He liked it immediately.

Fortunately, Ye Qingwan liked it too. View the correct content at NovelFire)

Love is separated by mountains and seas, mountains and seas can be pacified.

No matter where we are, where we are, if we are led by the red line of the matchmaker, we will forever get rid of the fate of being together for life.

Ye Qingwan looked up and saw the clock on the wall.

"Aiya, it’s almost four o’clock. It’s time to pick Zixi up."Ye Qingwan suddenly panicked.

"It’s all your fault. He was clearly doing his job seriously, and you suddenly came to cause trouble. You’re really a dog."

"I am indeed a dog." With a satisfied smile on his face, he raised his left hand and flashed it in front of her eyes.

"I’ve already put on the dog tag."

After tidying up her slightly messy hair, Gu Shimo carried her down from the table and gently placed her on the ground.

"Let’s go. Let’s go pick Zixi up together. She would give him a surprise."

At the school gate, Ye Zixi saw Gu Shimo standing out among the students who were queuing up for their parents to pick them up.

"Daddy!"

He was filled with joy and ran towards Gu Shimo like a deer.

"Zixi!"

Gu Shimo reached out and lifted Ye Zixi up high. He spun her in the air a few times, making Zixi giggle non-stop.

"Dad, you’re finally back. I missed you so much."

Ye Zixi stuck to Gu Shimo’s body like an octopus and refused to come down.

"Daddy misses you too, Zixi."

Gu Shimo kissed each of his soft cheeks.

The family of three got into the car. As Zixi did not want to let go of Gu Shimo, Gu Shimo sat with him in the back seat. Ye Qingwan was temporarily left out and sat alone in the front seat.

"Daddy, are you going to take a shower with me tonight and tell me a story?"

In the car, Ye Zixi clung onto Gu Shimo and asked excitedly.

"Good!"

Gu Shimo gently scraped the tip of his nose, his eyes filled with adoration. "Whatever my Zixi wants to do, Daddy will do it with you, okay?"

"Yay!" Ye Zixi almost jumped three feet high.

After talking to Gu Shimo for a while, she finally remembered her biological mother who had been neglected.

"Mom, it’s Jiang Mianmian’s birthday this Saturday."

Ye Zixi looked at the front row and said to Ye Qingwan.

"She invited me to her birthday party. Can I go?"

Ye Qingwan turned to look at him, only to see his face full of yearning. What else did she have to say?

"Of course you can."

"Yay!" Ye Zixi was overjoyed and almost jumped up again.

"Then, Mom, should I prepare a gift?"

"Yes, Mom will prepare it for you. You can bring it directly."

"That’s great! Mom, I love you!"

"I also love you!"

When they returned home, the family of three had a meal together after a long time. Gu Shimo really accompanied Zixi the whole time, building Legos with him, showering with him, and telling him stories. When Ye Zixi fell asleep, there was a satisfied smile on her face.

After coaxing Ye Zixi to sleep, Gu Shimo went back to his room and took a bath to wash away his fatigue.

Taking care of Ye Zixi for one night was more tiring than working overtime.

Every man should experience the pain of raising a child to understand how difficult it was for a woman.

Because Ye Qingwan was heartbroken and apologetic, plus the two people had been separated for so long, the little one was better than the newlywed, Gu Shimo was tired, and he couldn’t control himself and Ye Qingwan had a passionate entanglement.

When he kissed her passionately at the company, he almost couldn’t hold it in.

He really missed her too much.

It was hard to imagine how those couples who lived apart for a long time overcame it. It was just a short ten days, and he could not bear it.

After they made love, the two of them lay side by side on the bed and talked.

"After wearing this ring, I finally feel a sense of reality."

Gu Shimo placed their ring-wearing palms side by side. Their ring fingers seemed to be surrounded by a dazzling halo, which was beautiful and romantic.

"Hello, Gu Shimo’s Ye Qingwan."

He turned his head to look at her face. There was still a hint of red on her face from the passion that had not subsided, and it was ambiguous.

She also looked at him." Hello, Ye Qingwan’s Gu Shimo."

They belonged to each other and would not give others a chance, nor would they give themselves a chance to waver.

The two of them poured their hearts out to each other.

Ye Qingwan suddenly thought of something and said,"

"By the way, I haven’t had time to tell you about Old Master Tang meeting me, right?"

"Have we met? When did this happen?"

"Last night. Because I came back late, I planned to tell you tonight. I didn’t expect to really tell you tonight."

"What did the old man tell you?"

He played with her hand and liked the feeling of the ring on her ring finger.

"You can probably guess it."

Ye Qingwan roughly recounted what happened that day.

"Didn’t he specially come to South City to see you? Coincidentally, you’re on a business trip."

"I don’t plan to meet him."

Gu Shimo said casually.

"I’ve been delayed for so long outside because of work and because I want to make my stance clear. Tang Bai Yong is such an astute person, surely he can see through my intentions?"

"So what if he knows? His only obsession now is you. Will he give up so easily?"

"That’s his business." Gu Shimo said lightly.

"By the way, I’ve already found a new cemetery and plan to move my mother’s grave there."

——

Gu Shimo had made up his mind not to meet Old Master Tang.

He thought that he had come home without anyone noticing, but who knew that Tang Baiyong had already sent people to keep an eye on his company, home, and school.

As long as he showed up, Tang Bai Yong would know.

 

Chapter 547: I Am Gu Shimo

As soon as Gu Shimo returned to South City, Tang Baiyong received the news immediately.

However, Tang Baiyong was calm and didn’t call or visit directly.

What kind of person is Bai Yong of Tang Dynasty?

He had been in the business world for decades and dealt with all kinds of people.

How could he not see through Gu Shimo’s deliberate attitude of avoiding him?

It was better to goad him into action than to ask him to. Since Gu Shimo refused to give in obediently, he had no choice but to use some tricks.

The next morning, Gu Shimo was having breakfast with Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi when he suddenly received a call.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. I’m Old Meng, the manager of the cemetery management office of Qingshan Cemetery."

If they wanted to move the grave, they would definitely have to inform the cemetery management office first.

Only after registration and under the supervision of the administrator could the tomb be moved.

Therefore, Gu Shimo had left his contact information with Manager Meng at Qingshan Cemetery.

At that time, it would be convenient for him to find the other party to deal with the specific matters.

"Oh, it’s Manager Meng. Hello!"

Anyone would feel their heart skip a beat if someone from the cemetery called you so early in the morning, right?

"Mr. Gu, I’m sorry to disturb you so early in the morning. A person who claims to be from the Tang family said that he wants to move the grave. I looked at the name, Tang Ying. Is he the person you entrusted?"

If two groups of people moved the same deceased person’s grave, anyone would think that these two groups of people were a family, right?

Gu Shimo’s face darkened.

"It’s not the person I entrusted. Manager Meng, I told you last time that I would personally go over when I moved my mother’s grave. Therefore, no matter who else comes, please stop their rude behavior."

Manager Meng seemed to be a little confused.

"But, the other party claimed that the deceased was his long-lost daughter. Is it really not your family?"

"Yes, no!"

Gu Shimo’s attitude was firm.

"Listen, please stop the others. I’ll deal with it as soon as possible. Wait for my call!"

Tang Baiyong, this old fox, was really incomparably treacherous.

If Tang Baiyong was really allowed to move Tang Ying’s grave back to the capital, Gu Shimo would either have to find time to pay his respects once or twice a year, or he would have to obediently enter the Tang family and become a member of the Tang family.

It had to be said that Tang Baiyong’s move was indeed brilliant.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shimo immediately flipped through his contacts and asked Ye Qingwan,"

"Wanwan, Tang Baiyong is staying at Tang Yiheng’s house, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Qingwan had also heard a little of the phone call just now.

Seeing Gu Shimo’s nervous expression, it further confirmed her guess.

Gu Shimo had already dialed Tang Yiheng’s number.

"Tang Yiheng, I’m Gu Shimo."

Tang Yiheng seemed to have expected him to call. He said calmly,"

"Gu Shimo, are you finally willing to respond to the Tang family?"

"Cut the crap. Where are you now?"

Gu Shimo was angry and anxious. The Tang family’s methods were too despicable. There was no need for him to talk about manners with them.

"Old Master is with you, right? Let him answer the phone."

Tang Yiheng said,

"I’m not with Grandpa. He went to Aunt’s grave early in the morning. If you want to see Grandpa, you can go straight to the cemetery to look for him."

Gu Shimo still wanted to say something, but Tang Yiheng hung up the phone.

The other party had refused to talk to him because he was forcing him to go see Tang Baiyong.

"Wanwan, I’m sorry. I’m going to the cemetery now."Gu Shimo could not sit still anymore.

"I’ll go with you!" Ye Qingwan stood up immediately.

"I can go alone. You still have to send Zixi to school."

"It’s fine to let Gu Feng send you off." Ye Qingwan insisted.

She turned to Ye Zixi." Zixi, Daddy and Mommy have something to do and have to go somewhere. We can’t send you to school today. Can Uncle Gu Feng send you there?""

Ye Zixi was a sensible child. He had heard the conversation between Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan. Even if Ye Qingwan did not say that, he could understand.

"Dad, Mom, you guys go ahead. I’ll be fine. It’s the same even if Uncle Gu Feng sends me off."

Gu Shimo squatted down in front of Ye Zixi and reached out to pinch his soft cheeks.

"Zixi, thank you. I’m always absent from occasions where I should be because of this and that. I’m very sorry."

"It’s okay, Dad."

Ye Zixi comforted him," I’ve heard a saying before. Nothing is easy in the adult world." I’m already a man. I’m not a three-year-old child. Daddy, you don’t have to be sorry." NovelFire

Hearing Ye Zixi say such considerate words, Gu Shimo did not know whether to be happy or worried.

Most children who grew up carefree and blissfully would wake up late and be more willful.

Children who were sensible too early were forced to grow up early. When he thought of this, Gu Shimo’s heart ached.

"Zixi, I promise you that I will let you live the life you want in the future. As long as you grow up healthily and become an upright and kind child, I won’t ask you to do anything else."

"Good, Dad,"

Although Ye Zixi was confused.

However, it did not stop him from feeling Gu Shimo’s love for him, so he smiled sweetly and warmly.

After entrusting Ye Zixi to Gu Feng, Gu Shimo drove Ye Qingwan to Qingshan Cemetery.

They departed from the city.

They headed to Qingshan Cemetery in the suburbs.

Even though Gu Shimo had been driving at full speed, it still took him an hour and a half to reach his destination.

On the way, Gu Shimo had already contacted Manager Meng of the cemetery management office.

Therefore, when his car arrived, Manager Meng came from afar to welcome him.

"Mr. Gu, you’re finally here."

Seeing him, Manager Meng also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are they still at Tang Ying’s tomb?"

He asked as he walked up the mountain. View the correct content at NovelFire

"Yes, but don’t worry, Mr. Gu. Without my permission, they can’t do anything for the time being."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

The three of them rushed to Tang Ying’s grave.

In front of the tombstone, Tang Baiyong was the leader, followed by Yang Feng and Tang Yiheng, and He Yu and his son followed closely behind.

They were all dressed in plain clothes and had solemn expressions.

Tang Baiyong seemed to have cried, his eyes still red.

When he heard the commotion, he turned around and saw Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan. Only then did Tang Baiyong pull himself out of the emotions of his beloved daughter’s death.

"Are you the child that Xiao Ying left behind, Gu Shimo?"

Tang Baiyong stared deeply at Gu Shimo.

But now that he saw him in person, Tang Baiyong still carefully examined him from head to toe.

"You look exactly like my Xiao Ying. Your skin is snow-white, your eyelids are beautiful, your eyes are big, and your eyelashes are long..."

Tang Baiyong praised as he watched, his expression filled with excitement and joy.

The heavens finally showed some mercy and didn’t let Xiao Ying come to this world for nothing.

At the very least, Tang Baiyong could still see his grandson when he was still alive. It could be considered a kind of comfort, right?

Oh my god, Xiao Ying was so young, but she left. How pitiful, how wronged!

Why did he keep this old man alive but take away his young daughter?

In contrast to Old Master Tang’s excited and happy expression, Gu Shimo’s expression was indifferent. He was indifferent to the scene in front of him.

"Old Master Tang, I’m Gu Shimo."

He slightly nodded at Tang Baiyong, which could barely be considered the courtesy of a junior to an elder.

"What ’old man’? You should call him’ grandpa ’like me!"Yang Feng couldn’t help but ask.

 

Chapter 548: Fortunately, I Have You

Gu Shimo pretended not to hear him. He looked at Tang Baiyong and said expressionlessly,

"I wonder why Old Master suddenly appeared in front of my mother’s grave?"

Gu Shimo still could not say those vicious words.

He had no expectations for the Tang family, so he was not disappointed.

Without love, there was no resentment.

His cold and arrogant attitude made He Yutang, who was beside him, extremely displeased.

Old Master Tang had been a man of honor all his life. No matter where he went, he was always polite.

And now, he was actually being humiliated by someone?

Just as he was about to teach the young man a lesson, Tang Baiyong raised his hand and stopped He Yutang’s actions.

He Yutang had no choice but to retreat silently and stare at Gu Shimo with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Shi Mo, I know that you must be disdainful and resentful of me. If I hadn’t insisted on doing things my way back then, using the banner of being good to her and blindly stopping her, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable state. It’s only right for you to hate me."

Tang Baiyong was tall and sturdy, and it was not hard to tell that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

However, now that he was old, his back was no longer straight. Age spots appeared all over his face, ruining his original handsome beauty.

Looking straight at Gu Shimo, Tang Baiyong said earnestly,

"However, as the only bloodline of Little Ying, I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.

I want to repay you for what I owe Xiao Ying all these years before I’m born. Love doesn’t disappear, it just shifts.

I want to pass all my love for Xiao Ying to you. Shi Mo, come home with me!"

However, Gu Shimo shook his head.

Looking at Tang Bai Yong’s silver hair and hunched back, his heart was calm.

However, the atmosphere in the cemetery made his eyes filled with sadness.

"Tang Ying was kicked out of the family a long time ago. As for me, although she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to me, I never drank a mouthful of her milk or called her mom.

Tang Ying gave birth to me, but she has nothing to do with the Tang family. I have nothing to do with the Tang family." NovelFire

"So,"

Gu Shimo pulled himself together.

"For those who have already given up, Old Master will treat it as cutting off all ties with each other and let each other go! There was a fixed amount of fate between people.

For example, her fate with my father, my fate, and her fate with the Tang family. The moment her life ended, it had already ended."

Tang Baiyong sighed helplessly.

"I know that it is not easy to convince you to accept me in such a short time."

It was just like how Tang Ying knelt in front of him and begged him with tears.

For a few days and nights, Tang Baiyong was also stubborn and unmoved.

At some point, everyone believed that they were right and stuck to their principles, refusing to compromise.

Tang Baiyong was experienced.

Moreover, how could Gu Shimo forgive the Tang family so easily after his birth mother had been treated so badly?

Tang Baiyong had long been mentally prepared to be rejected by Gu Shimo.

He was just taking this opportunity to meet Gu Shimo officially.

The dead had passed away, and he couldn’t bring Tang Ying back to life.

However, he wanted to cherish this person in front of him with everything he had in the remaining time of his life.

"I only hope that you won’t always think of rejecting me and give yourself a chance to understand me.

It was because I was too arbitrary and reckless back then that I didn’t listen carefully to understand Xiao Ying. In the end, she was buried in a foreign land and hated for life."

Gu Shimo saw that tears had already welled up in Tang Baiyong’s eyes.

Her lips were trembling, perhaps because of the cold weather.

"Old Master, it’s too cold on the mountain. You should go back first. I’ve already spoken to the cemetery management. I’ll find an opportunity to move my mother’s grave."

" She traveled all the way here and finally fell asleep here. I’m afraid she can’t adapt to the climate in the capital, right?" So, please don’t bring her back forcefully. This probably wasn’t what her mother wanted."

From the information he had gathered, Tang Baiyong had already understood that Gu Shimo was a good-looking man who was young and promising. He had some of his former self in him. However, now that he had seen him for himself, he was completely relieved and felt very gratified.

"Alright, I promise you that I won’t touch Xiao Ying’s grave."

Tang Bai Yong smiled bitterly and continued.

"You’re right. I’m also the one who indirectly killed Xiao Ying. What right do I have to forcefully bring her back? There must be an effect for every cause. The bitter wine I brewed should be tasted by me alone."

Tang Baiyong had met Gu Shimo as he had wished, but he had not been able to convince Gu Shimo to acknowledge his ancestors.

At the same time, Gu Shimo had given up on Tang Bai’s plan to move his tomb forever. It was barely a draw.

Tang Bai Yong was old, and his body was already very weak.

After being blown by the wind on the mountain for half a day, he could no longer stand.

Gu Shimo did not want to have too many entanglements with the Tang family. After saying what they wanted to say, they parted ways.

On the way back.

In the car, Ye Qingwan could feel that Gu Shimo was in a low mood. She took the initiative to reach out and gently covered his right hand that was holding the steering wheel. NovelFire

"Brother Shi Mo, don’t be sad. You still have me and Zixi."

Gu Shimo turned his head and quickly glanced at her. Then, he turned his gaze back to the front.

Wanwan, thank god I still have you."

His voice was a little choked.

"Without you and Xi, I would be the only one left in this world. You’re not only my lover, but also my family, my family, and the only person I rely on."

"Aren’t you the same to me?"

Gu Shimo’s expression changed. The dejected emotions that had risen in front of his mother’s tombstone earlier had also lessened significantly.

"In the past, I couldn’t understand it. It’s because you came to my side and made me understand love. That’s why I couldn’t calmly part with you in life and death.

Therefore, I feel that my mother is too pitiful. She left her parents ’embrace and wanted to enter the embrace of her lover. In the end, he died in such a wronged way. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache so much that I can’t breathe."

Feeling his sadness, Ye Qingwan’s heart ached.

"Brother Shi Mo, I will always be by your side. You, me, Zixi, we will never be separated."

"Wanwan!"

Gu Shimo turned the steering wheel and stopped the car by the side. He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and hugged Ye Qingwan in his arms.

He did not want her to see the fragility in his eyes. At this moment, only her embrace could bring him the strength to heal.

"Wanwan, thank you! I love you!"

"Me too. I love you too, Brother Shi Mo!"

She reached out her hand to him and hugged him tightly.

 

Chapter 549: Hungry Can’t Be choosy

Tang Baiyong was still a little depressed that he had not been able to convince Gu Shimo to accept the Tang family and himself.

On the way back, he said almost nothing, saying that he was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Yang Feng and Tang Yiheng, who were accompanying him, looked at each other, not daring to say anything.

She silently covered him with a blanket and let him rest.

When they reached home, someone rang the doorbell as soon as they entered the house.

Tang Yiheng looked through the peephole and saw Xue Yunfei standing outside the door. He subconsciously did not want to open the door.

Who knew that Xue Yunfei would persevere and keep pressing the doorbell.

Not only did he ring the doorbell, but he also knocked on the door loudly.

Tang Yiheng frowned and opened the door. His words were extremely rude.

"Xue Yunfei, why did you run into someone else’s house?"

"I need to borrow your kitchen!"

Xue Yunfei raised the bag in her hand. Inside was a box of freshly picked strawberries.

"I went to the strawberry base early in the morning to pick this. It’s perfect for making delicious Strawberry Souffle to show my respect to the old man."

Tang Yiheng only opened the door slightly, but he didn’t intend to open the door wide, indicating that he didn’t welcome this uninvited guest.

"You know how to make Strawberry Souffle? Don’t blow up my kitchen. If Grandpa wants to eat it, I’ll hire a special pastry chef to do it."

It was different from ordinary pastries that could be eaten at any time after being made.

Souffle soufflé had a high demand for time. It must be tasted within a few minutes of being baked to have the best taste.

With a slight delay, she would lose her beauty.

Therefore, Souffle could only be eaten on the spot.

"Look at you, aren’t you being narrow-minded?"

Tang Yiheng sneered.

Xue Yunfei said proudly," How can the artisan pastry chef you hired be better than the food I made for the old man with love? I spent a lot of effort to learn this dessert."

Seeing his disdainful expression, she said in a serious tone," You can question my character, but you can’t doubt my feelings for the old man. Don’t you know that desserts can cheer people up? If you have the guts, why don’t you make a dessert for the old man to taste?"

The two of them were in a stalemate at the door. He Yutang heard the commotion and came over to ask what had happened.

Xue Yunfei immediately called out "Uncle He" obediently and explained her purpose of coming.

He Yutang said to Tang Yiheng,"Young Master, why don’t you let Miss Xue in?" Perhaps Old Master would want to talk to Miss Xue."

Tang Bai Yong had been in a low mood ever since he came back.

Although he didn’t show it on his face.

However, for He Yutang, who had followed him for many years, he could sense the change in Tang Baiyong’s mood with just a casual movement or look.

This room was filled with men, none of them understood Tang Bai Yong’s thoughts, nor were they good at making him happy.

Currently, the only one who could please Tang Baiyong was probably Xue Yunfei.

Tang Yiheng heard He Yutang’s words and naturally couldn’t stop Xue Yunfei. He opened the door and let Xue Yunfei in.

Xue Yunfei went into the old man’s room to greet him and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Tang Yiheng wasn’t interested in Xue Yunfei’s performance.

He used the excuse that he still had something to do at the company to greet the old man. After informing Yang Feng, he went out.

After getting in the car, he thought about it and called his father Tang Songkang to tell him about Tang Baiyong going to the cemetery.

Tang Songkang had told him that the old man’s every move in South City must be reported to him. NovelFire

Tang Yiheng had no objections to his grandfather recalling Gu Shimo, but at the same time, Tang Songkang was his biological father, so he would not go against his father’s wishes.

After listening to Tang Yiheng’s report, Tang Songkang had already started to think.

Perhaps he could use Tang Ying’s tomb to intensify the conflict between Gu Shimo and Tang Baiyong.

At Tang Yiheng’s house, when Xue Yunfei was busy in the kitchen, Yang Feng curiously went to watch.

Seeing that Xue Yunfei was busy but not flustered, and was doing a good job, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Xue Yunfei, I really didn’t expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."

Xue Yunfei looked at him with a look of satisfaction and gave him a warning glance."Don’t love me, there’s no result!"

Yang Feng chuckled." I’m sorry, but I’m not that desperate yet!"

 

Chapter 550: Coincidence, Intentional

Half an hour later, the oven was turned on, and an alluring fragrance quickly filled the kitchen.

This was a dessert that Xue Yunfei had specially spent her time learning.

The first time she had eaten this dessert, she had been instantly conquered. She had thought that after learning how to make it, she would make it for Gu Shimo one day.

Didn’t she say that she had to conquer a man’s heart first, so she had to conquer his stomach first?

All she lacked now was a chance to make a Souffle for Gu Shimo.

He sent the first batch of Souffle to the old man’s room.

After Tang Baiyong finished the dessert, his mood instantly became cheerful, and he was full of praise for Xue Yunfei’s cooking.

"Feifei, I thought you were a rich young lady who didn’t touch the water. I didn’t expect you to be able to make such delicious desserts."

Tang Baiyong was also very surprised.

"Old Master,’Nothing is difficult in this world, but only those who put their heart into it’. In fact, many things could be solved easily, just like making Souffle. With good control of the ingredients and heat, and a little patience, everything could be solved easily."

Xue Yunfei said with a double meaning.

"For example, this Strawberry Souffle is made with freshly picked strawberries. It was more crispy and delicious than the tropical fruits from afar, because some things were destined to be matched with him.

Just like Gu Shimo, he was destined to be a member of the Tang family. No matter how much he tried to avoid it, he could not escape the fact that the Tang family’s blood flowed in his veins."

"Continue."

"Actually, Old Master, have you ever thought about a problem? The woman named Ye Qingwan knew that she was not a match for Gu Shimo and the Tang family. That was why she had refused to persuade Gu Shimo to acknowledge his ancestors. Returning to the Tang family was clearly a good thing for Gu Shimo, wasn’t it?"

"I know that you’ve been troubled by this matter. Although I’m not very talented, I want to help you. Don’t worry. I promise you that I will do my best to convince Gu Shimo to acknowledge his ancestors."

Hearing her so confident, Tang Baiyong couldn’t help but feel moved.

"Feifei, can you really do it?"

"Old Master, I have the confidence to convince Gu Shimo. However, do you still remember the marriage between the Xue and Tang families? According to the original engagement, I should be married to Aunt Tang Ying’s son, right?"

——

On the weekend, Ye Qingwan brought Ye Zixi to Jiang Mianmian’s birthday party.

The gift he chose was a set of Frozen dolls that the little girl liked.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Zixi couldn’t wait to ask Ye Qingwan to pass him the gift box.

Today, not only did he want to be the most beautiful girl on the street, but he also wanted the gift he chose to be Jiang Mianmian’s favorite.

Who asked them to be best friends?

Suddenly, the window of a parked car rolled down, revealing a bright and handsome face.

"Wanwan!"

Ye Qingwan turned her head and smiled." Brother Mingyu, what a coincidence. Why are you here?"

The car door on the other side opened and a person stepped out. It was Ji Tianheng.

"Miss Ye!" NovelFire

Ji Tianheng raised an eyebrow at her and raised his right hand to greet her.

"What’s going on? Did you come here together?"

Lu Mingyu also opened the car door and got out.

"Yes."

Lu Mingyu took two steps closer to her and whispered into her ear,

"You know that Tianheng often deals with the court. He often has some insider information. I heard that there was a property being auctioned here, so he brought me here to scout it."

Ye Qingwan suddenly understood.

"So Mingyu Bro, you really plan to buy a house and move out?"

She recalled the time when Fu Linpei had bugged her car. She and Leng Xiaoduan had played along and put on a show to set Fu Linpei up.

At that time, the excuse used was that Lu Mingyu had plans to buy a house.

She did not expect that Lu Mingyu was really considering this.

Usually, in court auctions, the transaction price would be cheaper than the market price in order to quickly realize the value.

Many people who knew the way would come to buy this kind of house that was forced to be auctioned by the court.

"Ah, I just came over to take a look."

Lu Mingyu said, a little embarrassed.
