Ch. 91..100
: The Next Heir Her entire face was so red that blood could drip out.
Gu Shimo seemed to be keeping his promise that he would not take her here.
He actually didn’t mess up her hair.
It was just that the gown was a little wrinkled.
Her lips hurt the most.
It was swollen from the kiss.
Ten minutes later.
She put on the dress again and Ye Qingwan asked the designer to match her with a shawl.
The other party glanced at Gu Shimo and agreed with a smile.
On the way to the hotel.
Gu Shimo looked at Ye Qingwan’s shawl and said in amusement,” I didn’t expect you to be more conservative than me.”
“Didn’t Big Brother say that he wanted me to go to the banquet like that?”
Ye Qingwan blushed at the thought of his hooligan behavior.
“Yes, after the banquet ends tonight.”
He did not finish his sentence.
He believed that Ye Qingwan understood.
Ye Qingwan laughed mockingly.” Brother, have you forgotten that I’m still sick?””
“You have to sweat when you catch a cold.”
“..”
When the two of them arrived at the hotel, Bai Shanshan happened to get out of the car.
Ye Qingwan held Gu Shimo’s arm and walked towards Bai Shanshan, who was a few meters away.
Bai Shanshan had an elegant smile on her face. She greeted the people she knew and waited for them to approach.
She smiled and said,” Wanwan, didn’t you bring a male companion tonight?”
Wanwan’s male companion tonight is me.”
In front of others, Bai Shanshan thought that Gu Shimo would not disrespect her.
But she was still wrong.
A few steps away, the female artiste, who was waiting to see her make a fool of herself, laughed softly.
Bai Shanshan said generously,”I see. Shi Mo, you have to watch over Wanwan tonight. She just returned to the country and is not familiar with the country.” Don’t let those impure men get close to her.”
“As long as I’m here, that situation won’t happen.”
Gu Shimo looked down and said to Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, follow me closely later. Don’t run around.”
“I know.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
When they passed by the woman, she took the initiative to greet Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan.
Gu Shimo hummed indifferently.
He led Ye Qingwan into the banquet hall.
Behind him.
Jealousy and hatred flashed across Bai Shanshan’s eyes.
He clenched his fists and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, someone greeted Gu Shimo,” Hello, President Gu.”
It was Liu Yunzhi.
The female companion beside him was his secretary.
Tonight, Liu Yunzhi was wearing a green suit. He looked at Gu Shimo with a mocking and smug look in his eyes.
Naturally, it was because he had slept with Gu Shimo’s fiancee and was about to let Gu Shimo raise his son.
He had even imagined that in twenty years, the successor of the Gu family would be his son, Liu Yunzhi. At that time, everything in the Gu family would be the beautiful picture of the Liu family.
Gu Shimo saw his smugness and mockery.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold arc.” Young Master Liu, you look so happy. Is there something good?””
“Hahaha, there’s indeed good news.”
Liu Yunzhi raised his hand and touched his face.
Gu Shimo had seen through it.
He smiled and said,” The next heir of the Liu family is on his way. However, this is nothing compared to President Gu’s happy news.”
“What good news do I have?”
Gu Shimo asked calmly.
Liu Yunzhi glanced at Ye Qingwan, who was beside him.
She smiled and said,” Of course, it’s President Gu and Miss Bai’s newlyweds. However, why isn’t President Gu’s female companion Miss Bai tonight? What’s the name of this beautiful lady?”
“You don’t deserve to know.”
Gu Shimo’s sudden change made Liu Yunzhi think that there was something wrong with his hearing.
He was still reaching out his hand like an idiot.
“President Gu, what did you say just now? I didn’t hear clearly.”
“I said that you don’t deserve to know the identity of my female companion.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough for everyone around him to hear.
In an instant, all eyes were on Liu Yunzhi.
Chapter 92: Do You Believe Me Now? Liu Yunzhi’s face turned red.
However, he did not have the ability to flare up at Gu Shimo.
Although the Liu family could be considered a wealthy family in South City, they were nothing in Gu Shimo’s eyes.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seduced Bai Shanshan behind her back and even asked her to give birth to a son of the Liu family and raise him in the Gu family.
Forcefully enduring the humiliation, Liu Yunzhi forced a smile on his face and found a way out.” It seems that President Gu cares a lot about this beauty.”
Gu Shimo’s handsome face was cold. He didn’t bother with Liu Yunzhi anymore. Instead, he lowered his eyes and asked Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, do you want to eat something?””
“Sure,”
Ye Qingwan smiled and nodded.
When she turned around and saw Bai Shanshan walking over, she said to Gu Shimo,”Brother, I’ll look for you later.””
The meaning of his words.
She did not need him to accompany her.
Gu Shimo acknowledged her and reminded her,”Don’t run around.””
As soon as Ye Qingwan left, Bai Shanshan arrived in front of Gu Shimo.
Just as she was about to call out to him, Liu Yunzhi, who had yet to leave, spoke first. He smiled and greeted her,” Hello, Miss Bai.”
As they spoke.
His gaze rested on the necklace around her neck.
He had bought it for her.
Gu Shimo thought that he was very awesome, but wasn’t he still green?
Bai Shanshan’s expression changed a little, but it was only an instant change. It was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t see anything strange.
The smile returned to her face and she replied politely,” Young Master Liu.”
“President Gu, I have something to tell Miss Bai. Can I borrow her for two minutes?”
Liu Yunzhi had just been humiliated by Gu Shimo.
She wanted to get it back now.
Ignoring Bai Shanshan’s glare, he waited for Gu Shimo with a smile.
Gu Shimo did not even look at Bai Shanshan. Instead, he turned to look at Ye Qingwan, who was walking to the pastry area not far away.
She said lightly,” You guys can do whatever you want.”
“Shi Mo…”
” Miss Bai, please do it!”
Liu Yunzhi made an inviting gesture.
He gestured for Bai Shanshan to go outside.
Bai Shanshan looked at Gu Shimo affectionately. She wanted him to stop her, but she saw him greeting the others.
He did not take her seriously at all.
She gritted her teeth and followed Liu Yunzhi out of the archway.
There was a spacious corridor outside and a garden below.
Compared to the bright lights in the banquet hall, this place was more quiet.
Liu Yunzhi pulled Bai Shanshan to the right and walked a few meters behind the rockery.
He pressed her against the rockery and pressed her down with one hand. He lowered his head and kissed her small mouth.
Bai Shanshan widened her eyes in anger.
However, he didn’t dare to make a sound.
“Shanshan, I missed you so much. You’re dressed so beautifully tonight.”
“Don’t be like this…”
She wanted to stop him.
However, Liu Yunzhi did not stop at all.
“Let me ask for it once. We’ll go in later.”
“No…”
“What do you mean no? Don’t scream. If someone hears you and finds out that you, a famous actress, are stealing a man in such a place, your reputation will be ruined.”
“..”
Bai Shanshan wanted to kill him.
They did not know.
At this moment, a few meters away, Ye Qingwan was forcefully held in Gu Shimo’s arms.
He held the phone in one hand and held her slender waist with the other.
” Do you believe me now?” he asked sarcastically.”
Ye Qingwan didn’t want to listen to him and nodded perfunctorily.” I believe you. Can you let go of me and let me go in to eat something?””
“So hungry?”
He tilted his head and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
There was a hint of pampering and gentleness.
Under the moonlight, Ye Qingwan was stunned and ignored the strange feeling in her heart.
She nodded.” Very hungry.”
“Then, go in and eat first. We’ll leave early later. I’ll cook for you when we get home?”
“No need.”
“Really?”
“..”
Chapter 93: I Won’t Let Anyone Steal It Wanwan, President Gu.”
A familiar voice came from behind.
Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo turned around and saw Lu Mingyu approaching them.
He was holding a tall cup in his hand. He must have come out alone to admire the scenery.
Gu Shimo curled his lips and greeted him.” Young Master Lu, you came out to enjoy the scenery too?”
“Yeah, it’s too stuffy inside. I didn’t expect you guys to be outside too.”
Lu Mingyu’s gaze swept past Gu Shimo’s phone without leaving a trace. He watched as he put it away, but he did not ask.
He only looked down at the fake mountain, where he had pointed the phone lens at just now.
A slight sound came from there.
It was unknown who had been knocked over by the fake mountain.
Ye Qingwan took the opportunity to pull Gu Shimo’s hand away from her waist and said,” I’ll go in first.””
He quickly entered the banquet hall.
Gu Shimo did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
Instead, she chatted casually with Lu Mingyu.
Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, and the night wind blew into the ears of the people behind the rockery below.
Bai Shanshan’s legs went weak from being scared or being hit by Liu Yunzhi.
She grabbed him tightly with both hands.
She used her eyes to signal for him to end it quickly.
“Why don’t I see President Gu’s fiancee? Didn’t President Gu bring Miss Bai to such a banquet?”
Lu Mingyu’s seemingly casual conversation seemed to have piqued Gu Shimo’s interest.
He looked down at the night sky and said in a low voice,” She came, but she wasn’t with me. Liu Yunzhi called her away.””
“Liu Yunzhi?”
“Yes.”
“I heard that the Liu family is a major shareholder of the Bai Group’s film and television company. Isn’t President Gu afraid that Miss Bai will be snatched away?”
Lu Mingyu was not a fool.
He could even be said to be a very shrewd man.
Seeing that Gu Shimo had been standing there without leaving, he seemed to be very interested in the place where the voice came from.
A bold guess flashed through his mind.
He was quickly expelled by himself.
“Snatch?”
Gu Shimo smiled faintly, but his eyes were as dark as ink.” What can be snatched away has never been what I want. If it’s really what I want, I won’t let anyone snatch it away.”
“President Gu is right.”
Lu Mingyu felt a little suffocated.
He understood Gu Shimo’s hint.
He was referring to Wanwan.
She was what he wanted, so when Wanwan and Zixi went to his house that day, this man shamelessly followed them.
Gu Shimo smiled as if he was in a good mood.
She even invited him and said,” Young Master Lu, do you want to take a walk?”
“Sure,”
Lu Mingyu felt that his guess should be right.
Gu Shimo was indeed interested in the fake mountain below.
It only took them two to three minutes to reach the rockery below.
The more it was like this, the more excited Liu Yunzhi felt.
However, when she heard Gu Shimo and Lu Mingyu’s words, Bai Shanshan was so scared that she almost died.
She didn’t dare to make a sound. She just grabbed Liu Yunzhi tightly and motioned for him to stop.
“When did Young Master Lu contact Wanwan?”
Gu Shimo asked casually as he looked ahead and walked towards the fake mountain step by step.
Lu Mingyu answered honestly,” Two years ago, I accidentally found out that Qingyun Wan’s legal representative was Wanwan. At first, Leng Xiao Duan and Leng Xiao were unwilling to tell me about her. It took me some effort to contact her.”
Speaking of Ye Qingwan, Lu Mingyu’s eyes became gentle and his voice was gentle and pleasant.
He liked Ye Qingwan.
She was not only the girl he had fallen in love with when he was young. After all these years, he knew that she had taken root in his heart too deeply.
He did not know how to remove it.
And he didn’t want to remove it.
He pursed his lips and asked calmly,” President Gu, will you marry Wanwan? Or will your wedding with Miss Bai be held as scheduled next month and Wanwan will be released after that?”
If he answered that he would hold the wedding with Bai Shanshan as scheduled, he would not let her go.
He would wait for her.
Chapter 94: There Seems to Be Someone at the Rockery “..”
Gu Shimo tilted his head and glanced at Lu Mingyu.
The meaning behind that glance was unclear.
However, it was as if all the answers were written in that gaze.
Lu Mingyu subconsciously clenched his fists.
At this moment, they were only a few steps away from the fake mountain.
Gu Shimo suddenly stopped.
He asked in a low voice,” Wanwan was overseas before. Did you go to see her?”
“No, she won’t let me go.”
Lu Mingyu laughed at himself as he looked over Gu Shimo’s shoulder at the fake mountain behind him.
A man and a woman left in a panic.
Although there was no light, the moonlight filled the sky, and one could vaguely distinguish their identities.
He narrowed his eyes.” President Gu, are you not leaving?”
“Let’s go back. It’s quite rude if the host can’t find us later.”
After Gu Shimo finished speaking, he walked back.
When he walked up, he happened to see Liu Yunzhi and Bai Shanshan coming up from the other side.
“President Gu, Young Master Lu.”
Liu Yunzhi’s voice was a little unstable.
Although he wasn’t caught, it was too dangerous just now. He was so close to being caught.
As he looked at Gu Shimo and Lu Mingyu, he could not help but panic.
“Where did Young Master Liu and Miss Bai go? Why do they look so tired?”
The person who said this was Lu Mingyu.
He had once heard Bai Shanshan mention that she and Gu Shimo were together because of that night five years ago.
If Gu Shimo was unable to give an explanation to Ye Qingwan because of her, he could help her.
In any case, that was probably what Gu Shimo meant.
Liu Yunzhi tried to hide his laughter.
Bai Shanshan’s legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
In the dim light, she couldn’t see her blush clearly, nor could she see the wrinkles on her dress.
“Young Master Lu, what are you talking about? I just had a few words with Young Master Liu over there. Wanwan also came to the banquet. Didn’t Young Master Lu see her?”
“I saw it.”
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows.
He turned to look at the rockery below.
She continued,” When I came out just now, President Gu and Wanwan were standing here. They were even recording some scenery on the fake mountain with their phones.”
he said.
Bai Shanshan’s face turned pale.
She looked at Gu Shimo in panic.
They were two meters apart.
His brows were cold and his aura was cold.
She was so cold and noble that she dared not take another step forward.
She opened her mouth a few times but could not say a word.
Lu Mingyu continued as if he didn’t know what was going on.” Did you hear that there seemed to be a couple making out at the rockery just now?”
“No, I’m talking to Miss Bai over here.”
Liu Yunzhi explained with a smile.
However, when he spoke, his lips were stiff.
Bai Shanshan only wanted to leave this place quickly. She covered her stomach with her hand and said,”I’m not feeling well. I’ll go to the bathroom first.””
She did not ask Gu Shimo to accompany her. Instead, she picked up the hem of her gown and ran into the banquet hall.
“What are you talking about with Bai Shanshan for so long?”
Gu Shimo asked coldly when Liu Zhi was standing uneasily.
The other party exclaimed.
Then, she smiled and made up a lie.” Miss Bai begged me to help her company tide over the difficulties, so she spoke a little longer.”
“Is that so? Young Master Liu was so enthusiastic about the Bai family’s matters. Did he take a fancy to someone?”
“President Gu, what do you mean?”
Liu Yunzhi’s voice changed.
Gu Shimo laughed.
His eyes were cold and disdainful.” Nothing much. I just want to help you get the beauty. If you’re unwilling, I can only post the video online.”
“What, what video?”
—-
In the washroom.
Bai Shanshan did not expect to meet Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan was washing her hands when she pushed the door open.
Hearing the voice, Ye Qingwan turned around and saw Bai Shanshan, whose hair was disheveled, coming in with a wrinkled gown.
On her chest, there were obvious marks of a pair of legs.
Chapter 95: My Hatred for You Will Only Double “Bai Shanshan.”
Bai Shanshan wanted to walk past Ye Qingwan and enter the cubicle.
But Ye Qingwan suddenly stopped her.
Ye Qingwan looked at the woman in the mirror and raised her eyebrows.” Was it exciting?””
“You… Say what?”
The hatred in Bai Shanshan’s eyes was instantly replaced by fear.
She pretended not to understand.
Ye Qingwan smiled and turned around. She lowered her voice and said to Bai Shanshan,”Nothing. I just saw you and Liu Yunzhi having an affair at the rockery.””
Bai Shanshan wanted to kill her.
She smiled brightly.” Don’t worry, I didn’t tell Gu Shimo.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Bai Shanshan refused to admit it.
Ye Qingwan didn’t want her to admit to having an affair with Liu Yunzhi.
“Don’t forget your promise to me.” I’ll give you three more days. If you can’t give me the evidence I want, I’ll announce your secret to the public.”
Ye Qingwan, three days is not enough.”
“Is it not enough?”
Ye Qingwan looked indifferent.” I forgot to tell you the other day. I didn’t know that I would use the fetus you miscarried five years ago…”
“Ye Qing Wan”
Bai Shanshan was so angry that her voice was trembling.
She wanted to kill Ye Qingwan.
She swore that she would kill her.
Ye Qingwan pointed at the marks on her chest and said,”Bai Shanshan, how much you hate me will only double my hatred for you.” Let me remind you that if you appear in front of Gu Shimo like this, he will only know that you have cheated on him.”
After saying that, she ignored Bai Shanshan’s murderous gaze and left perfectly.
She came out of the bathroom.
Ye Qingwan did not return to the banquet hall.
Instead, he quietly left the hotel through the back door.
Leng Xiaoduan waited at the entrance of the hotel. He got into the car and pulled down the curtains.
Ye Qingwan changed out of her gown and put on the dress that Leng Xiaoduan had brought.
“Sister Wanwan, where are we going now?”
Leng Xiaoduan asked before driving.
Ye Qingwan looked down at the bag in her arms.
Thinking of the medicine in her bag, she pursed her lips and said softly,” Go to Leng Xiao’s house. I just talked to him on the phone.””
It was not only because of the medicine she took from the Gu residence, but also because her mother’s report was still with Leng Xiao.
In addition, Leng Xiao said that Yu Xin’s aunt had participated in saving her mother back then.
She had to go there sooner or later.
“Alright.”
Leng Xiaoduan nodded and drove off.
Before she reached Leng Xiao’s house, Ye Qingwan’s phone rang.
When she saw Gu Shimo’s call, she pursed her lips and looked at his name flashing on the phone screen for a few seconds.
Only then did she press the answer button.” Hello, Brother.”
Wanwan, where are you?”
Gu Shimo’s voice was low.
Ye Qingwan softly replied,”I have something to do, go first, brother, you don’t have to find me.””
“What is it? Tell me where it is.”
Gu Shimo’s tone darkened.
“Outside.”
“Send me your location.”
“Brother, I have some private matters to attend to, so it’s not convenient for me to tell you.”
“..”
—-
Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan arrived at Leng Xiao’s house.
Before she could ring the doorbell, the door opened from the inside. Leng Xiao carried Yu Xin and his handsome face was filled with anxiety. When he saw them, he instructed them instinctively,” Wanwan, Little Duan, help out. Yu Xin’s stomach hurts and she might be giving birth soon…”
“Oh, okay.”
There was no time to ask too much.
Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan accompanied them to the hospital.
On the way, Yu Xin held onto Leng Xiao’s hand tightly, crying and asking herself if she would die.
Although Leng Xiao was frustrated, he still patiently comforted her.” No, you and the baby will be safe.””
Yu Xin then said to Ye Qingwan, who was sitting in the passenger seat,” Qingwan, my attitude towards you wasn’t very good before. Can you forgive me? If anything happens, please protect my child…”
Chapter 96: When Zixi Was Born Ye Qingwan turned sideways and held Yu Xin’s hand.
She said softly,” Don’t talk. We’ll reach the hospital soon. It’ll be fine.””
“..”
Yu Xin was in so much pain that she soon lost the strength to speak.
She only held onto Leng Xiao tightly with both hands.
Leng Xiao freed one hand to call Yu Xin’s aunt and tell her about her current situation.
When they arrived at the hospital, Yu Xin’s aunt was already waiting by the roadside.
Yu Xin was pushed into the delivery room.
The doctor asked Leng Xiao to sign it, and his hands were trembling slightly.
Ye Qingwan comforted him.
Together with Leng Xiaoduan, she accompanied him outside the operating theater.
A few minutes later, a doctor came out and said that Yu Xin’s condition was not good.
She asked Leng Xiao,” What do you think? Do you want to keep it big or small?”
Leng Xiao’s face instantly turned livid. He asked angrily,” What do you mean by protecting the child? I sent her to the hospital. Of course, I’ll protect both the child and the child.””
The doctor explained the situation a little more, but Leng Xiao still insisted.” We’ll cover both the size and the size.”
In the end, the doctor had no choice.
She entered the delivery room again.
In the corridor, every minute of waiting was torture.
After what seemed like a century, the cries of a baby came from the delivery room.
After a while, Yu Xin’s aunt came out with the child in her arms. Leng Xiao only glanced at her and refused to carry the child. He looked at the delivery room behind her.
“How is Yu Xin?”
“Both mother and son are safe.”
Hearing this, Leng Xiao’s heart finally settled down.
Ye Qingwan and Leng Duan carried the baby to the ward, leaving Leng Xiao to wait outside the delivery room alone.
—-
Ye Qingwan did not know how Gu Shimo had found the hospital.
When the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, she thought that Leng Xiao and Yu Xin had returned.
She looked up and saw Gu Shimo’s tall and cold figure.
His gaze fell on the baby in her arms. After a moment, he strode in.
Leng Xiaoduan felt pressured by Gu Shimo’s powerful aura. She stood up and wanted to carry the baby so that Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo could go back together.
Ye Qingwan shook her head.
“I’ll wait for Leng Xiao and Yu Xin to come back.”
Gu Shimo stopped in front of her and looked down at the baby in her arms with his eyes closed.
His gaze fell on Ye Qingwan’s face and he asked in a low voice,” When Zixi was born, was he as young as him?”
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat.
Because of Gu Shimo’s words.
She lifted her eyes and met his deep and gentle gaze. She recalled that when she gave birth to Zixi, she had also experienced a life and death situation like Yu Xin.
He had once thought that he would not survive.
Her heart was filled with a layer of fine, unclear emotions.
The man standing beside her suddenly squatted down.
His wide and warm palm gently touched the little baby’s small hand in her arms.
She said softly,” Let me try hugging you.””
“You won’t.”
Ye Qingwan heard her stiff refusal.
He laughed.
The laughter was soft, but it was deep and pleasant to hear.
“I’ll try. It’s my biggest regret that I haven’t hugged Zixi before.”
His rare gentleness and patience.
She treated the baby in front of her as Zixi.
Ye Qingwan nodded hesitantly.” Be careful.””
Beside him, Leng Xiaoduan was dumbfounded.
She watched as Gu Shimo carefully took the baby from Ye Qingwan’s hands.
His movements were stiff, but the way he carried her was not wrong.
Within two minutes, voices came from outside the corridor.
Leng Xiao and the doctor pushed Yu Xin back to the ward.
Seeing Yu Xin’s pale face, Gu Shimo frowned.
“You go outside first.”
Ye Qingwan took the baby from Gu Shimo.
Gu Shimo said softly,”I’ll wait for you outside.””
Before he left, he looked at Yu Xin again before leaving the ward. He went straight to the smoking area and took out a cigarette.
He was about to light it up and take a few puffs.
Thinking of Ye Qingwan’s cold, he pursed his lips and put away the lighter.
Chapter 97: Wanwan, I’m Sorry Ye Qingwan didn’t stay in the ward for long.
She stayed for more than ten minutes and told Leng Xiaoduan not to go to the company for the next few days to help take care of Yu Xin.
She gave Leng Xiao a few more instructions before leaving.
When she walked out of the ward, she saw a man standing in the resting area at the end of the corridor.
The lights in the corridor outlined his handsome facial features. He was tall and slender, and his temperament was noble.
They were more than ten meters apart.
She could not see the emotions in his eyes.
It was just that his gaze locked on her and her footsteps were somewhat hesitant.
Walking up to him, Ye Qingwan saw the heartache and guilt in his eyes. There was something she couldn’t describe.
Her hand was grabbed by his strong palm and held in his palm.
His other hand wrapped around her slender waist and pressed her into his embrace. His low and hoarse voice fell into her ear.” Wanwan, I’m sorry.””
Ye Qingwan’s body froze.
She couldn’t describe what she felt.
She only knew that her nose was a little sore.
The loneliness, helplessness, and hatred she felt when she was struggling with life and death abroad were in his embrace and apology.
Like sand that had opened its mouth, it flowed away silently.
“You said before that Leng Xiao is your savior. Then when his child is born, we should give him a big gift. Have you thought about what to give them?”
Pulling her out of his arms, Gu Shimo’s lips curled up slightly as he asked in a low voice.
Ye Qingwan wasn’t used to interacting with him like this.
She averted his gaze and said lightly,” I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Then, can you leave it to me to arrange?”
Ye Qingwan could not believe Gu Shimo’s sudden change.
Didn’t he always hate Leng Xiao?
A few days ago, he had returned the watch to her angrily.
She said that she only trusted Leng Xiao Bai.
Why now?
Her brain spun quickly and she suddenly thought of a possibility.
He must have known that she had returned to the Gu residence today and taken something.
She thought about how she didn’t have any medicine in her bag.
The emotions that rose in Ye Qingwan’s heart receded like a tide.
“You arranged it?”
she asked.
Gu Shimo raised his eyebrows.” Yes, I’ll arrange it.”
“There’s no need. I’ll do my own thing.”
Ye Qingwan pulled her hand out of his and walked toward the elevator.
Gu Shimo looked at her expression, which had suddenly calmed down. Bo Yi’s lips slowly pursed.
She still did not believe in herself.
Was she afraid that he would harm Leng Xiao’s child?
In her eyes.
Was he that cruel and merciless to not even let a newborn baby off?
Ye Qingwan walked in front of the elevator.
Gu Shimo followed behind her.
The two of them walked out of the hospital one after another.
Gu Shimo held her hand again and found an excuse to say,” The car is parked here.”
Then, he did not let go and pulled her all the way to his car in the parking lot.
He stuffed her into the passenger seat.
His phone rang.
It was Zixi.
Ye Qingwan didn’t put on her seatbelt. She answered the call first, and her coldness was gone.
Her gentle and light voice rang out in the car.” Zixi, why are you calling Mom?”
Zixi was using his watch phone.
His tender voice entered her ears through the radio waves.” Mom, why aren’t you back yet?”
“Mommy will be back soon. I have good news for you. Leng Xiao’s uncle’s younger brother is born.”
“Really? Mommy, I want to see little brother too.”
“Okay, I’ll take you to see your brother in two days.”
Gu Shimo closed the car door and saw that Ye Qingwan had not fastened her seatbelt.
He silently leaned over and pulled the seatbelt over to her.
She glanced at him and did not refuse his service.
After tying it, Gu Shimo did not disturb Ye Qingwan and Zixi’s conversation and quietly acted as a driver.
Maybe it was because Leng Xiao’s child made Ye Qingwan think of the time when Zixi was just born. Her heart and hair were soft.
Not only did she chat with Zixi for the entire journey, but she also told him stories when she got home. She only left his room after coaxing him to sleep.
Chapter 98: Don’t Tell Anyone Ye Qingwan opened the door and saw Gu Shimo standing in the corridor.
Wanwan, you’ve worked hard.”
When the man saw her, the corners of his lips curled up gently.
” Have you been standing here all this time?” Ye Qingwan asked.”
“Okay, I’ll stay here with you.”
Originally, Gu Shimo had also wanted to go in and accompany Zixi.
But he could feel Ye Qingwan’s resistance towards him. He knew that it had something to do with the things she got from the Gu residence in the afternoon.
He did not go in and waited for her in the corridor.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and returned to her room in silence. She opened the door and turned to look at Gu Shimo.” Can you go back to your room to sleep tonight?””
“Why?”
Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at Gu Shimo’s question.
Her voice was cold.” I’m not in a good mood today. I don’t want to see you.”
In reality.
She was worried about the medicine in her bag.
She was afraid that he would take it away for her.
Gu Shimo lowered his eyes and glanced at her bag. When he went to coax Zixi to sleep just now, she had been carrying this small bag.
The things in the bag were so rare.
—-
At the hotel.
“Bai Shanshan, you b * tch. It’s all your fault for killing my Nannan.”
“Nannan, don’t be afraid. I will definitely avenge you. Don’t worry, I will kill Bai Shanshan.”
“I won’t let her snatch what belongs to you. You’re the daughter of the Bai family, the apple of my eye. Bai Shanshan was just a shameless b * tch.”
Bai Shanshan’s eyes widened in shock. She was tortured to the point where she could not even look like a human.
Liu Yunzhi had yet to wake up.
He cursed at her with all kinds of vulgarities.
In the end, she even forced her to scold herself.
Bai Shanshan was afraid that he would kill her. In order to survive, she had to scold herself.
Until dawn.
Liu Yunzhi lost all his strength and fell asleep.
Only then did she crawl into the bathroom with disheveled hair, lock the door, and call for help.
Bai Shanshan didn’t dare to call her family, afraid that her father would let her continue to accompany Liu Yunzhi until dawn.
She called her assistant.
While waiting, Bai Shanshan’s heart hung high in panic.
She was afraid that Liu Yunzhi would suddenly wake up outside and continue torturing her.
11:30 PM.
The assistant brought her clothes. After Bai Shanshan changed into them, she asked the assistant to send her to the apartment she didn’t usually live in.
She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the bruises on her face that were almost disfigured.
Bai Shanshan almost vomited blood.
“Sister Shanshan, should we call the police?”
The assistant looked at Bai Shanshan and was still in a daze.
Bai Shanshan glared at her
” Don’t tell anyone about what happened tonight, do you hear me?” he warned sternly.”
The assistant nodded.”
She frowned and looked at Bai Shanshan.”Then, Sister Shanshan, let me get you a medicine box and apply some medicine first.””
“I won’t die.”
Bai Shanshan looked at herself in the mirror.
What she needed to do now was not to apply medicine.
“You can go back first. I’ll call you if I have something to do.”
“Alright.”
After the assistant left, Bai Shanshan carefully recalled Liu Yunzhi’s actions tonight.
Then, a vicious light burst out of her eyes.
She gritted her teeth and said,” Zhao Qinlan, you old fart actually dared to play with me. The medicine you gave me wasn’t to make me lose my temper, but to confuse my mind.”
Chapter 99: If You Can’t Be a Daughter-in-law, You’re an Enemy At the Ye Family villa.
After Ye Qingwan forbade him from sleeping in her room, Gu Shimo really went back to his own room.
After Ye Qingwan took a shower, she went to the study quietly.
She took a photo album back to her room and locked the door. She flipped to the last photo of her mother, Lu Yarou, and her best friend.
Then, he found the photo he had taken this afternoon on his phone and compared it to the photo.
After a long time.
She concluded in shock.
Zhao Qinlan’s woman was her mother’s best friend.
Her mother had told her that her best friend had once been trapped by love and had died tragically in a foreign land for the sake of her unborn baby.
When she died, she did not see the person she loved. It was a sad story.
Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and clicked on the back of the photo.
She read the words on it several times.
[Lu Yarou, how dare you lie to me.]
[B * tch, I won’t let your son off.]
So, although her mother’s best friend died, she gave birth to the baby?
If she really gave birth to a baby, then her mother had never mentioned it to her.
Moreover, from what Zhao Qinlan had written, she knew about the existence of that child.
She put down the photo album and took out the three pills from her bag to take a few glances.
The doubts in his heart snowballed.
Why did Zhao Qinlan kill her mother?

The next morning.
Zhao Qinlan woke up very early.
The moment she woke up, she went online to see if there was any news about Gu Shimo and Bai Shanshan today.
However, she was disappointed to find nothing.
At this moment, her phone rang.
When she saw Bai Shanshan’s call, her eyes lit up and she quickly answered the call.
She said happily,” Shanshan, I waited for you until midnight last night, but I didn’t get a call from you. She was still wondering if Shi Mo had taken the medicine and pulled her all night without restraint.”
“Auntie, do you think that’s possible?”
Bai Shanshan’s voice sounded mockingly.
Zhao Qinlan was stunned.
However, she immediately smiled again.”Why not? Don’t look at how Shi Mo usually has a pure heart and few desires. However, if he loses his mind after taking the medicine, it will definitely be like that night five years ago. Didn’t you experience it yourself?”
On that night five years ago, Zhao Qinlan knew that Bai Shanshan must have lied when Ye Qingwan came back with Ye Zixi.
But she did not expose him.
“Auntie, what medicine did you give me?”
Bai Shanshan did not seem to hear Zhao Qinlan’s teasing.
His tone was especially aggressive.
“Of course it’s the medicine that will make him unable to stop. Shanshan, don’t tell me that Shi Mo doesn’t want you even after taking the medicine?”
“Auntie, the person who took the medicine last night was not Shi Mo. But I have a rough idea of what kind of medicine Auntie gave me because I saw it with my own eyes many years ago. Don’t you think so, Auntie?”
The last sentence.
It carried a strong sense of threat.
Zhao Qinlan’s expression changed when she heard that.
She cursed in her heart,’Little slut.’
However, her tone was still gentle.” Shanshan, what are you talking about? Can you tell me in detail?” If it was not Shi Mo last night, then who was it? Could it be that you were bullied by another man for the entire night?”
“The medicine Auntie gave me wasn’t that kind of medicine. How could I be bullied by other men? However, I heard the person who took the medicine reveal the secret in his heart. Auntie, are you siding with Ye Qingwan because she gave birth to Ye Zixi?”
“How is that possible? You’ve really wronged me.”
“If that’s not the case, why did Auntie deliberately give me the wrong medicine? Could it be that you want to give Shi Mo the medicine that you used on Lu Yarou back then? I really don’t understand, and I don’t want to think about what your intentions are. But…”
At this point.
Bai Shanshan paused.
Two seconds later, she said,” Whether it was five years ago when Auntie helped me get rid of Ye Qingwan or fifteen years ago when Auntie got rid of Lu Yarou, it’s not an eternal secret. If I can’t become auntie’s daughter-in-law, then I can only become an enemy.”
Chapter 100: Zixi’s Tricks “Shanshan, you must have misunderstood me. I sincerely treat you as my daughter-in-law.”
Zhao Qinlan stood up and said,” How about this? I’ll go upstairs to take a look first to make sure that I didn’t get the medicine wrong when I gave it to you.” There have been too many things in the past two days. I’m dizzy, so it’s not impossible for me to make a mistake.”
He hung up the phone.
Zhao Qinlan went to the room upstairs.
On the other end of the phone, Bai Shanshan recorded the conversation just now.
While Zhao Qinlan was replying to her, she edited the recording.
He was prepared to give the important part to Ye Qingwan.
Of course.
She didn’t really want to be threatened by Ye Qingwan. She was only doing it for the upcoming wedding.

At the Ye Family villa.
Ye Qingwan went downstairs and saw Zixi and Gu Shimo in the kitchen.
As they spoke, they made breakfast.
Zixi squatted on the ground and carefully picked the heart of the cabbage.
Gu Shimo was making fried eggs, and the fragrance filled the living room.
She was about to speak.
She heard Zixi’s tender voice ask,” Uncle, do you love my mother?”
“Yes, I do.”
Gu Shimo did not even turn his head. He was looking at the fried eggs in the pot and his voice was filled with a smile.
It was low and gentle, and it was especially pleasant to hear.
Zixi smiled.” I love Mommy too.” Therefore, I hope that my mother will be happy. Uncle, you also want my mother to be happy, right?”
Ye Qingwan frowned.
Why did these words sound like a trap?
“Of course.”
The man looked down at Zixi, who was squatting on the ground picking the heart of the cabbage.
Because her mother liked to eat broccoli, Zixi picked all the broccoli on the long heart.
He held the cauliflower in his hand and looked up at Gu Shimo with his handsome face.
She asked softly,” Uncle, if I find a good man to take care of Mom, you definitely won’t object, right?”
“..”
Gu Shimo frowned. He had been tricked by this little fellow.
“Uncle, you can’t be angry.”
“I’m not angry. Then tell me, where is the good man you found? What’s his name and what does he do?”
Zixi blinked her beautiful eyes.
He smiled and said,”I have three candidates. If you promise not to be angry, I’ll tell you. How about that?””
“Alright, tell me.”
Gu Shimo turned off the fire and placed the fried eggs on a plate.
“The first is Uncle Lu. He told me himself that he likes my mother.”
Although it was very likely that Zixi was hiding her pride, Gu Shimo could still tell at a glance and hear it.
He did not show any anger on his face.
Zi Xi continued to say,”The second candidate is of course Zi Yang uncle, he is also good to mother.””
“Hmm, what about the third one?”
Gu Shimo felt a little suffocated.
He was considering if he should tell the little guy directly.
He was his real father.
Kissed.
He didn’t have to find a good man for his mother.
Zixi raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes.
The third person is actually Uncle Yang, who I knew the earliest and took care of me and Mom the most. However, Uncle Yang had a lot of romantic debts. I didn’t think he would win in the past, but now I’m only putting him on the shortlist.”
“Candidate?”
Gu Shimo was so angry that he laughed.
“That’s right, Uncle. Do you know Uncle Lu? Uncle Yang will be back in a few days. I’ll introduce him to you then.”
“..”
“When the time comes, I’ll invite Uncle Lu, Uncle Yang, and Uncle Ziyang to my house. Uncle, you have more experience than me and are more accurate in judging people. When the time comes, can you choose the best one for me?”
At the end of his sentence, Zixi even showed his handsome and signature smile.
Gu Shimo turned around and glanced at Ye Qingwan, who was standing in the living room and had not walked over.
She said coldly,” Zixi, you don’t have to find a stepfather. I’ll just…”
“Big brother.”
Ye Qingwan interrupted him and walked to the kitchen.
