《Here Comes the Mommy: Daddy, Take It!》


 Chapter 1 It Wasnt Me That Night

    The white flesh was covered with pink and red shock, and the little face was as big as a palm. She had a lost look on her face, and her arms were like a lotus root, holding a man with a robust body. The scent of the ancient dragon perfume wrapped Ye Zhiqiao.


    "Ah!" A cry of pain came from Ye Zhiqiao''s mouth. The man on her body suddenly stopped and looked at the woman under him in surprise. He immediately went back to normal. After Ye Zhiqiao had got used to it, he started again, and the pain began to disappear.


    Ye Zhiqiao took on the man''s feelings one after another. In the end, she felt dizzier and dizzier. In a daze, Ye Zhiqiao seemed to see a face that was so hard to describe.


    When she woke up again, Ye Zhiqiao was awakened by the smell of a cigarette.


    "Ahem!" Ye Zhiqiao widened her peach blossom eyes with tenderness. She glanced at the clean white ceiling and looked around. She saw a man sitting by the bed, invisible in the smoke.


    Ye Zhiqiao sat up and raised her aching arm. She looked at herself in a white nightgown and recalled the crazy face she saw last night.


    After three years of love, she never dared to move too close. Last night, a sweet smile appeared on her lips." Thank you, Zixuan."


    The words" put on clothes" seemed to be hitting Bai Zixuan hard on the heart. He suddenly stood up from the sofa and looked at Ye Zhiqiao with a look that Bai Zixuan could not understand.


    Ye Zhiqiao was a little stunned and said gently, "Zixuan?"


    "Ah." Bai Zixuan seemed to have returned to his senses. The passion he had just had disappeared in an instant, replaced by Bai Zixuan, who had been full of tenderness. The corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, and he said gently," Zhiqiao, the company will send me out of the country to marry you when I come back, okay?"


    "Good. Ye Zhiqiao''s beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with love, and she answered obediently, and she said goodbye to Bai Zixuan reluctantly.


    Eight months later, Bai Zixuan, who had just returned from overseas, looked at Ye Zhiqiao, who was eight months pregnant, his eyes were filled with shock and disgust.


    Disgust?


    Ye Zhiqiao carefully took a step back; her big peach blossom eyes seemed to be in shock. She asked with a trace of doubt," Zixuan, aren''t you happy?" "


    "Of course he''s not happy. Dressed in a big red dress, Ye Yiyu, with a disdainful smile, walked over to Bai Zixuan from behind Bai Zixuan and looked at Ye Zhiqiao with a scornful look. He gave Bai Zixuan a generous smile and said in a shy tone," Zixuan, aren''t you going to tell her the truth?"


    "Truth?" Ye Zhiqiao suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.


    "It wasn''t me that night." The corner of Bai Zixuan''s mouth twitched. He had treasured the girl for three years. For the first time, since it was not him, he could only know what it felt like.


    "You mean it wasn''t you that night?" Ye Zhiqiao''s peach blossom eyes were filled with great disbelief, and he could not believe it." How is that possible? It must be you, it must be you, or I wouldn''t recognize you."


    Ye Yiyu, with a hint of anger at the corner of her mouth, said softly," you can''t tell because of the medicine I put into your glass. I made that drink for you, but the only thing I regret is that I don''t know who the man was that night either."


    Ye Zhiqiao took a step back abruptly. The peach blossom eyes, which were filled with the spirit, were now filled with disorientation. She looked at Bai Zixuan and said word by word," do you know about this too?"


    Bai Zixuan smiled bitterly." Yi Yu is still young, and she didn''t think that you would drink that glass of wine. I was the one who wanted to take you to the hotel, but I had something to do. I asked Yi Yu to help me get you to the hotel, but when I came back from work, I realized that Yi Yu was drugged in the hotel. If I didn''t have a plan, then ..."


    Ye Zhiqiao pulled a bitter smile." I see. You just made a choice between me and Yi Yu."


    "If you hadn''t been pregnant, I probably wouldn''t have said it all my life." Bai Zixuan clenched the fist that hung down on his body. There was no more tenderness in his voice. He said coldly," Zhiqiao. You should abort the baby, and if you don''t, I''ll invite you to my wedding with Yi Yu next month."


    Haha haha. That''s the guy whom she''d been in love with for three years.


    Ye Zhiqiao looked at the two men with her hands protecting the stomach, unable to hide the bitterness on her lips." Bai Zixuan, this is my child. Don''t bother yourself!"


    After saying that, she ran to the busy road beside.


    Ye Yiyu, who was standing by the side, quietly sent a text message to Bai Zixuan and Ye Zhiqiao, where they couldn''t see it. He felt the tremor in his hand and realized that the message had been sent successfully. Ye Yiyu''s eyes flashed with a vicious look. Ye Zhiqiao, don''t blame me.


    After doing all that, she quickly walked to Bai Zixuan''s side and stretched out her snow-white arm to hold Bai Zixuan''s arm. She said gently," It''s all my fault. If it weren''t for me, maybe you and Zhiqiao would get married now. Maybe the child in Zhiqiao''s stomach belongs to you and Zhiqiao." "


    A warm hand wrapped around Ye Yiyu''s hand." I don''t blame you. If it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t have lost yourself to me."


    A loud click came from far away, and someone said, "Help! Someone hurt!"


    "Call the police!"


    Bai Zixuan''s facial expression changed, and he rushed with Ye Yiyu to the accident site...

 Chapter 2 Who Was the Man That Night?

    Ye Zhiqiao opened her eyes, what she could see was all white, and the smell of disinfectant flowed from the tip of her nose. Her eyes moved slightly, and the scene before her fainting occurred to her.


    A car crash, a tummy ache, a lot of blood.


    Ye Zhiqiao''s hand, which was still getting dripped, jerked to touch her stomach, only to find the little ball, which had been standing high, had disappeared.


    "My child! My child!" Ye Zhiqiao suddenly sat up, despite her aching body. She pulled away some drops and lifted the blanket. She ran to the door of the ward with naked feet, grabbed a guard, and said in a loud voice," Where''s my child? Where''s my baby? My child!"


    A familiar arm hugged Ye Zhiqiao, and without Ye Zhiqiao''s tug, Ye Zhiqiao was brought back onto the bed, then there came a low voice," Zhiqiao, calm down a little. Your child is gone."


    "You have deceived me, Bai Zixuan, and you have hurt my child to take revenge!" Ye Zhiqiao danced his hands to Bai Zixuan''s hands as if he were in a trance, screaming incessantly.


    Slap!


    Ye Yiyu shook her red hand and pulled Bai Zixuan over. She looked up and down with heartache and saw if Bai Zixuan had any problems.


    Her eyes were slightly raised, and her voice was filled with endless hatred. "How could you treat your brother like this. Despite the fact that your child was a bastard, it shouldn''t have existed in this world. Now you could spare yourself time to solve the trouble. Then again, dad and mom said that they would send you to the nation country. Without their permission, you are allowed to come back to the country with me."


    Looking at Ye Zhiqiao, who was still holding on to her beatings, Ye Yiyu said with Bai Zixuan behind her back:" You, be careful."


    After that, Ye Yiyu took Bai Zixuan''s arm and left in ten-inch heels.


    Ye Zhiqiao happened to have a sudden flash of red in her mouth. The smell of blood in her mouth became heavier and heavier. At last, Ye Zhiqiao could not control herself and spat out a mouthful of blood. She tilted her head and fell unconscious.


    Five years later.


    There was a charming scene of the wind in the crowd. A tall and beautiful woman, with a long pink-colored hair and a black glass, looked at the child holding her thigh with an impassive expression.


    When she looked around, there seemed to be no anxious man or woman nearby. She stretched out her white hands, took off her sunglasses, squatted down, and looked at Xiao Bao, who was holding her thigh with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. She said," Hey, could you please let me go? I am waiting for someone."


    Xiao Bao was dressed in a white princess dress. She blinked her big peach blossom eyes and said in a childish voice," I can wait with you."


    Ye Zhiqiao looked at Xiao Bao spoke in a creamy voice. She couldn''t help but smile and look at her with a straight face." What''s your name?" She said with a little mouth like a peach. Where''s your family? Why are you here alone? Can I help you find your family?"


    Xiao BaoThe girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Zhiqiao squatting in front of her. She held out her short legs, stretched out her little arms, and suddenly hugged Ye Zhiqiao.


    Facing Xiao Bao''s sudden attack, Ye Zhiqiao only instinctively hugged Xiao Bao. The childXiao Bao in front of her seemed to look a little bit fat. She was actually skinny. She was surprised." Why are you so thin?" "


    Holding Ye Zhiqiao in her arms, Xiao Baothe girl said in a childish voice," You''ve asked me so many questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?"


    Ye Zhiqiao, who could respond to a group of people, couldn''t answer Xiao Bao''s question. She thought for a long time before saying," What''s your name first? And then tell me, why are you so skinny?"


    Xiao BaoThe girl hugged Ye Zhiqiao''s neck, and a faint fragrance wafted through the tip of her nose. Her beautiful eyes slowly turned into a little crescent moon, and he said with a soft, childish voice," aunt, my name is Guruoxi. The stream belongs to the stream. You can call me Xiao Bao."


    As soon as the Xiao Bao finished speaking, a penetrating voice approached Ye Zhiqiao from afar. At the same time, Ye Zhiqiao quickly covered the Xiao Bao''s ears with her white hands and protected the Xiao Bao in her own hands. Her beautiful eyes and eyes became an indescribable frown.


    "OMG. Zhiqiao, did you come back with a baby? Did you blow up?" A fiery red figure gave Ye Zhiqiao a heavy kiss on her beautiful face.


    That left a red lipstick mark on her originally fair face instantly.


    She looked down at the obedient Xiao Bao and said in an exasperated tone," You''re the one who blew up. This is not my child. When I was waiting for you, she came out of nowhere and hugged my thigh."


    "Spread out to hold the thigh?" Fire red voice, half squatting and looking at Xiao Bao, who was sitting in Ye Zhiqiao''s room, said in a quick voice," You learn to hold your legs at such a young age, and what she hugs is the thigh of a famous international designer around the world. This child must have the function of finding a treasure."


    Ye Zhiqiao glared at Jian Mengqi and pretended to be angry." If you say one more thing you shouldn''t say, I''ll get the ticket right away."

 Chapter 3 Cute Girl

    "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Just as she was about to get out of the car, she had a large number on her arm.


    The Xiao Bao seemed to be afraid that Ye Zhiqiao would go back and tightly hugged Ye Zhiqiao''s neck. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with a little sadness.


    As if feeling the uneasiness of Xiao Bao, Ye Zhiqiao gently patted Xiao Bao and glared at Jian Mengqi." You look scared to the child. I want to have dinner, your treat. Around here."


    "Well, well, well, well, it''s all up to you?" Jian Mengqi said, holding Ye Zhiqiao''s luggage in one hand and Ye Zhiqiao in the other.


    After asking Xiao Bao, Ye Zhiqiao picked a steamed bun nearby and asked for something. She put Xiao Bao on the sofa beside her and looked at Xiao Bao sitting on the sofa obediently. Her big eyes seemed to be able to talk, and Ye Zhiqiao was really into the child.


    The hot bean curd and steamed stuffed bun were quickly served. Ye Zhiqiao picked up a bowl with no chili in it, and the little girl blew on it before putting it into the little girl''s mouth. She placed the spoon next to Xiao Bao''s mouth and held it in her hand. All of a sudden, a loud voice sounded, successfully stopping ZhiqiaoYe Zhiqiao from spooning.


    "Stop!"


    Ye Zhiqiao looked back and saw a tall figure coming through the door against the light.


    She could not see his face clearly, but she could tell from the steps that this was a well-educated man. Naturally, he exuded the power of a superior, and the quality of his clothes let Ye Zhiqiao quickly conclude: This was a man with high social status.


    The man soon arrived in front of Ye Zhiqiao.


    His long and powerful legs were wrapped under the suit, and he was wearing a white shirt. He could see the tight muscles in the shirt, and his deep eyes were like a bottomless swamp. His tall nose and thin lips formed into an unsteady, unforgettable face. However, the man''s natural ability to let go of his breath made Ye Zhiqiao feel that she could hardly see through this man.


    Ye Zhiqiao quietly moved back and met a bunch of rubbers. Then she swallowed and raised her head. She looked at the fairly handsome man in front of her and said," Hi, what''s the matter?"


    The man in front of her glanced at Ye Zhiqiao. His deep eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise. However, his eyes quickly disappeared. Soon, he recovered his normal state and stretched out his long fingers. His rough fingers brushed past Ye Zhiqiao''s fair fingers. Ye Zhiqiao felt as if they were touched by something. It was as if the man''s fingers were a brand iron. It was unusually hot. She suddenly loosened her spoon and took back her fingers.


    The man took a deep look at Ye Zhiqiao, and his deep gaze fell on Xiao Bao beside Ye Zhiqiao. His thin lips opened, and his voice was as low as a cello, and his tears flowed.


    "No."


    After a long time, a wheezing voice rang out beside Ye Zhiqiao," Yes." "


    As if she felt the emotional intensity of the baby beside her, Ye Zhiqiao picked up the little girl. She looked at the cold man and Xiao Bao, who looked aggrieved and said," Sorry, I have to interrupt. What does the Yes and the No mean? "


    Xiao Bao, who was being held in her arms, quickly hugged Ye Zhiqiao in her arms, pouting her little mouth, and her big peach eyes were filled with such a pleasant sensation. She sniffed as if she was trying to hold back her tears. She said to Ye Zhiqiao with a grievance," He won''t let me eat this, but I want to eat it."


    "Why don''t you let Xiao Baohim eat this?" Ye Zhiqiao kissed Xiao Bao with a distressed look. She raised her head and said to the man standing there," By the way, who are you?"


    The moment Ye Zhiqiao lifted her head, the man in front of her felt his heart skip a beat. If you say it was surprisingly fantastic to see Ye Zhiqiao just now, now his heartbeat accelerated, and it had been so many years that a woman could take his breath.


    The man in front of her suddenly sat down, his coldness decreased. Since he gave people another feeling, he was still cold and aloof, but he was a bit nicer than before.


    In the face of this change, Ye Zhiqiao had no other thoughts but confusion. He poked Xiao Bao in the corner and whispered," Xiao Bao, do you know her?"


    The little girl nodded her head.


    Xiao BaoAfter that, Ye Zhiqiao whispered," what does he mean? I''m confused."


    Xiao Bao raised her head to look at the man sitting down, then at Ye Zhiqiao. She acted helplessly. He pouted and said casually," I''m also confused."


    "Clang-" with a sound, Ye Zhiqiao could only feel a fiery red figure moving in front of her. A huge poodle appeared next to a man.


    Ye Zhiqiao could only describe him in this way in her heart when he saw Jian Mengqi with a dog leg standing next to a man.


    Just as Jian Mengqi''s hand was about to touch a man, a man in a red suit cut through the gap between them.


    One of his fingers pressed against Jian Mengqi''s head, and he said in a lazy tone," Jian Mengqi, I understand that I''m pretty attractive, but you don''t have to be so thirsty!"


    Jian Mengqi took a step back and saw the face of the red suit. It was as if she had encountered a venomous beast. She turned back to Ye Zhiqiao and rolled her eyes." Qin Baiye, can you put away your giant face and stop blocking the signal of my phone?"


    Looking at the feeling of familiarity between them, Ye Zhiqiao asked in a low voice," Who is this guy in red? You know him?"


    Xiao Bao, who was eating the food Ye Zhiqiao had given him, suddenly opened her mouth and said in a strange tone," That man in red is my godfather, Qin Baiye. That man in white is my father, Gu Mohan."


    As soon as the Xiao Bao finished speaking, the man in a red suit. No, it should be Qin Baiye, who looked shocked and stared at Xiao Bao, as if he could not speak. He looked back at Guo Mohan and then pointed at Xiao Bao, saying:" She ate something!!!" Xiao BaoXiao BaoXiao Bao


    Ye Zhiqiao looked confused. She glanced at Jian Mengqi and then at Xiao Bao, who was eating. She said," Can''t she eat?"


    Jian Mengqi, who seemed to recall something, also opened her mouth and pointed at Xiao Bao with a look of surprise, as if she could not say anything.

 Chapter 4 Hi, Mr. Ye!

    After quite a while, Qin Baiye started to say a bunch of words," Xiao BaoShe has not eaten any food since she grew up. She could only be forced to eat every week and only ate liquid food. If she ate other food, she would definitely Xiao Baospit it out." When she grew up, Xiao Benoit''s first time to see her eat!"


    No wonder.


    Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes rolled over, and he knew that no wonder Xiao Baothe girl was so skinny and could grow up on the nutrient solution, which showed how much the Gu family valued this child.


    Wait a minute. Ye Zhiqiao''s mind seemed to have thought of something. After a while, Ye Zhiqiao seemed to understand. She pointed to the man who could not be ignored even if he didn''t say anything. With a look of surprise, she said," Wait a minute, wait a minute. You''re Gu Mohan?! The boss of the company Giant Monster!"


    Gu Mohan looked at Ye Zhiqiao with a blank face, and a smile flashed across his deep eyes. In Ye Zhiqiao''s shocked eyes, he opened his thin lips and gently spat out three words:" It can''t be truer."


    He grabbed Jian Mengqi and pinched her. Jian Mengqi quickly left Ye Zhiqiao and retreated to a safer position.


    Listening to the screams, Ye Zhiqiao happily picked up Xiao Bao, who was eating, and took a big bite, and said," Honey, are you the princess of the Gu family?" "


    Xiao BaoThe girl was enjoying Ye Zhiqiao''s kiss, but still seriously looked at herself, bit her finger, and said toYe ZhiqiaoZhiqiao, "Hey, I''m not that important."


    Ye Zhiqiao seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She looked up and down at Xiao Bao with a concerned look. She touched the little girl''s stomach and said in a worried tone," Would Xiao Bao feel uncomfortable after eating this all of a sudden? "


    "It''s all beans," Mohan spoke calmly, who was sitting at the side.


    From afar, Qin Baiye seemed to have sensed something. He circled around him. From afar, Jian Mengqi unhappily said," Qin Baiye, what''s the matter with you now?" Before Qin Baiye could react, Jian Mengqi said toYe Zhiqiao, waving her arms to her," Zhiqiao, we should go."


    Looking at Xiao Bao, who was still in her seat, Ye Zhiqiao felt her heart skip a beat, but at the end of the day, she gave Xiao Bao a gentle kiss on the baby''s head and said," Good appetite, good sleep."


    Looking at the little girl''s head, Ye Zhiqiao finally looked at Xiao Bao. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced herself to say to Mohan," I''m so sorry for having her for so long. She''s adorable."


    After that, he ran away like a wind, leaving only Gu Mohan and his little girl with a tiny figure.


    Looking at Ye Zhiqiao''s back from afar, Gu Mohan''s heart was filled with a sense of loss. Her deep eyes narrowed slightly, and no one could see what was hidden inside.


    Feeling as if something was arching in his arms, Gu Mohan lowered his head and looked at his daughter, who was blinking her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looking at him with a grievance.


    His expression usually remained unchanged. He took a breath of air and reached out his big hand to hold the little girl in his palm. He said gently," Are you sad that she left?"


    Feeling the unyielding breath from Gu Mohan, she missed the soft breath from Ye Zhiqiao even more. She looked in the direction where Ye Zhiqiao had left. She felt more and more troubled. She buried her little head in Gu Mohan''s arms and said angrily," I like her."


    Gu Mohan patted the little girl on the back and said," Do you want her to be your mother?"


    Xiao Bao suddenly turned her head away from Gu Mohan''s arms, with disbelief and joy in both her expression and voice. She asked:" Is that possible?"


    Mohan nodded and took a deep look at the direction where Ye Zhiqiao had left. He carried Xiao Bao and left the airport.


    The red Ferrari parked in the center of the city, the Financial Street, and packed up his mood. Ye Zhiqiao opened the car door and walked down. Looking at the land with extremely high rent, she couldn''t help but feel emotional." Mengqi, the rent of your studio is higher than the income it, right?"


    Jian Mengqi closed the car door, and put her hands on Ye Zhiqiao''s shoulder and said," I don''t disagree with that, but there''s one thing you''re wrong about. It''s not my studio, it''s ours."


    "Ours?" In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhiqiao was dragged to the studio of Jian Mengqi. She opened the door of the studio, which was busy, but when anyone saw Jian Mengqi, they would stop and respectfully call her boss.


    Ye Zhiqiao watched Jian Mengqi winking at her and felt confused before being pushed into the middle of the room.


    When Mengqi was in front of other colleagues, she didn''t have the cynicism at all:" Hi, everybody, ever since the studio was built, I''ve told you that our studio has two executives, one of them is me, and the other is this beautiful woman right next to me, Ye Zhiqiao, Ms. Ye, but remember that, she''s more than a beautiful woman, she''s even stricter than I."


    The people around shouted to Ye Zhiqiao in a respectful and well-behaved voice:" Good morning, Ms. Ye."


    Ye Zhiqiao was always bad at dealing with such things. She looked at Jian Mengqi as if she were asking for help. Jian Mengqi smiled at Ye Zhiqiao and said in a big voice," Let''s go to work." There will be plenty of opportunities to get to know you, Ms. Ye."


    As she said this, she pushed Ye Zhiqiao into a stately office and said to Ye Zhiqiao," Don''t reject me. You know, as soon as you get your name out, my little studio will be bright in the blink of an eye."


    "But ..."


    "But." Jian Mengqi put his hands on Ye Zhiqiao''s shoulders and said with a smile," but you can''t make your name public now. You can''t show up as the international designer'' Mengxing'' in the country. You can''t even be exposed here because you still have feelings for the Ye Yiyu family in your heart."


    "Even this time, if I hadn''t threatened you, you would have chosen to stay out of the country without their permission. But Zhiqiao, I know better than anyone that you want to come back. So Zhiqiao, stay. I''m not asking you to expose yourself. I''m asking you to stay."

 Chapter 5 Warmth

    Looking at her current feelings of true Jian Mengqi, Ye Zhiqiao''s heart is surging with a kind of inexplicable feeling. Jian Mengqi and herself are living in two different worlds, one is the family of gentle, parents love each other till they got old, one is the family of evil, the mother passed away, and then there came the stepmother.


    A rich woman valued by her family, and a bullied one without power and impressive background, but no matter how big the difference was, Jian Mengqi has been trying to protect Ye Zhiqiao since the first day they met.


    In the past five years, even outside the country, Jian Mengqi had flown over to see her whenever she had the chance, either to deliver food or something else useful. It was also the deeds of Jian Mengqi that moved Ye Zhiqiao.


    Holding back the tears in her eyes, she pulled up her most beautiful smile and said to Jian Mengqi," Mengqi, don''t worry, I''ll definitely make your dream come true."


    The two girls of the same age were mentally connected at this time, which didn''t require oral language anymore.


    An orderly knock on the door broke the beautiful atmosphere. After that, the door was pushed open by a young girl. First, she called out to the two of them\ Ms. Jian and Ms. Ye. Then, she took a document and walked to Jian Mengqi with a serious face.


    Jian Mengqi took a quick glance at the document and slapped it on the table with a palm. A huge click appeared on her face, and the color of her face changed rapidly.


    The young girl looked at Ye Zhiqiao as if she was asking for help. Ye Zhiqiao gave her a slightly calm look and gently saved the document from Jian Mengqi''s hands. She lowered her head and quickly glanced at the document. The expression of her face changed for a moment, but soon, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She turned her head and said to Jian, Mengqi," Why are you so angry?" "


    "How could I stay calm? Jian Mengqi rolled her eyes at Ye Zhiqiao and said, gritting her teeth," For the past few years, Ye Yiyu has been holding your design paper and tricking me. Now, since she has your favorite piece, how can I not be angry with her?"


    "She didn''t take it." Ye Zhiqiao''s mouth twitched a little, and she soon returned to her old school days.


    Ye Zhiqiao majored in costume design, and she showed amazing gifts, but the amazing genius disappeared in a very short time. To show off your designs in front of outsiders.


    She didn''t present her pieces of work to others, but at that time, Ye Zhiqiao would give each piece of paper, like a treasure, to the man she had loved, even during her pregnancy.


    A series of stunning designs were produced, but they were all in Bai Zixuan''s hands. Yes, it''s a good setup, but at last, there''s something gone missing. By the way, the style of clothes showed that these designs came from Ye Zhiqiao.


    Unwilling to let Jian Mengqi know that, Ye Zhiqiao eventually told the truth in a soft voice:" This is the


    presents Bai Zixuan gave to Ye Yiyu, and then Ye Yiyu turned them into the final version."


    "Damn it." Jian Mengqi spat out a rude remark and said disdainfully," I used to think that Bai Zixuan was just greedy for money, but now I realize that I was wrong. He''s just trash.S!"


    With a smile on her face, Ye Zhiqiao raised her head and said to Jian Mengqi," That I still have feelings for them doesn''t mean they can insult my work so recklessly behind my back."


    She grabbed a blank sheet of paper and a large sum on the table and quickly walked to a quiet room.


    Watching Ye Zhiqiao walk into the room, Jian Mengqi, who was originally in a rage, instantly got a good mood. She raised his white palm and said in a relaxed and happy voice," Let the whole staff take three days off. Paid leave, but the only requirement is for everyone to leave the office in five minutes."


    The assistant was accustomed to that, and delivered the message immediately, in five minutes the entire studio was occupied by Ye Zhiqiao, who had shut herself in the room, and Jian Mengqi, who had a smile on her face.


    Looking at the closed door, Jian Mengqi said to Ye Zhiqiao secretly in her heart," Zhiqiao, when you come out, I''ll blow their mind."


    After a while, Jian Mengqi also carried a pile of papers, trying to make a dress paper design out of the follow-up work.


    Two days later, the closed door was opened from the inside, with a gray face, but Ye Zhiqiao''s beautiful peach eyes were shining with a moving light.


    "Mengqi, I''m done."


    When Ye Zhiqiao entered the meeting room in a hurry of joy, her tiny face, which was originally palm-sized, was filled with embarrassment. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said," You''re all here!"


    "Yep." Qin Baiye''s mouth was wide open as he looked at Ye Zhiqiao, whose face was ashen and earthy, and he replied with surprise.


    Amid the meeting, Jian Mengqi sat quite inside the room and acted pretty innocently to Ye Zhiqiao.


    A little pink, at the moment Ye Zhiqiao came out, rushed to Ye Zhiqiao''s side just like a little firecracker, no complaints as if it were a decoration on the leg.


    Gu Mohan looked at the girl who had pushed the door open, but the peach blossom eyes were full of feelings that could not be described in words, it had been a long time that the girl didn''t act like this. This time the child seems quite satisfied.


    It was not until the child appeared in the meeting room that the silence there came to an end.


    "Hey, you seem to stink." Looking at the little pink child''s genuine expression, Ye Zhiqiao could not help but smile bitterly. She could only keep everyone''s eyes on her and said awkwardly," Then let go of me first so that I could go take a shower, shall I?"


    The two little hands were not at ease, and the little girl looked back and really looked at her father and said:" I''m going with you."


    Under the three minutes'' observation, the child''s father was completely persuaded and nodded his head.


    The little pink child happily held the small hand of Ye Zhiqiao and couldn''t hide the happiness in her voice." I want to go with you too."


    Ye Zhiqiao looked around for a while, and finally and went into the bathroom with the girl. There she started to seriously clean herself and the child who unexpectedly went with her, leaving only a small piece of design in the air falling down to the ground.


    A pair of hands with clear fingers caught the elegant design; eye contact, in an instant, threw the design paper to Qin Baiye, who was still in a daze with the thin lips slightly open: "QiqiaoThe main point is Qiqiao and Family Gu plays a second role."

 Chapter 6 Design

    Qin Baiye held the design paper petrified again, with "QiqiaoQiqiao" as the main, Family Gu as the second factor. Family Gu stood for the industry''s leading group, unmatched, Gushi, but this series mainly features "QQiqiao." This is amazing!


    "Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Gu." Jian Mengqi flicked through the paper from Qin Baiye''s hand and ran away at lightning speed, leaving only a crisp laugh in the air.


    Two hours later, Ye Zhiqiao showed up with the little girl and wore the new clothes, which she had just made.


    It was a feast to the eyes.


    A long lilac skirt, accompanying the tall Ye Zhiqiao perfectly. No clothes can be so good. With the long pink-colored hair, she had an extra feeling of laziness and sexiness. Her delicate little face was flushed red from the heat, and there was nothing to fix. It was natural and beautiful.


    "Very good." Gu Mohan, who sat in the inner part of the room, appearing to be the host of this place, but this could not stop him from praising.


    Ye Zhiqiao was surprised to hear the praise of the big boss, but he smiled sweetly and accepted that.


    She picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and took a bite of her own.


    Ye Zhiqiao didn''t stop eating until she and the little girl couldn''t help but burp.


    Both pairs of big and small eyes smiled because they did the same action.


    After a while, Ye Zhiqiao sat up with some worry. She picked up the child and rubbed her on the stomach. She was worried and said to Mohan," Xiao Bao hasn''t eaten much. Is this okay?"


    "No problem." After seeing Ye Zhiqiao''s magical charm for the Xiao Bao again, Qin Baiye finally got used to it and stopped being shocked as before. He said happily," Last time I went back, Mr. GuMohan went to the doctor and specially checked it out. The doctor said it''s a good sign. Just don''t give Xiao Bao too much to eat in the beginning."


    After hearing Qin Baiye''s words, Ye Zhiqiao was still worried and touched the Xiao Bao''s stomach. He looked at Xiao Bao''s face and didn''t feel uncomfortable. Ye Zhiqiao finally relaxed.


    "Miss Ye." The boss who was sitting in the corner suddenly said," Since you left last time, Xiao Bao has not eaten any food. But today, I was with you and had something to eat, so I have a request."


    Ye Zhiqiao had an unexplainable feeling for the boss. She hugged Xiao Bao reflexively and gulped. "Please go ahead."


    "If possible, could you please take Xiao Bao to dinner with you every day?" Looking at Ye Zhiqiao, who seemed to be a little bit overreacting, Gu Mohan felt a sudden surge of displeasure. However, he was still in a normal temper and finished his request by suppressing the uncomfortable feeling.


    Go to dinner together?


    Ye Zhiqiao glanced at Xiao Bao, who was frowning at her. Her big eyes blinked. Her pitiful expression really made Ye Zhiqiao''s heart melt. He touched the head of the child with his hand and thought for a moment before opening his mouth carefully and saying," I''m afraid this is not convenient." First of all, I don''t know where I''m going to live yet, and I have a job, and when I''m busy, I probably won''t eat."


    Gu Mohan''s eyes twitched.


    Qin Baiye indicated that he had gotten the signal and took out a bunch of spoons. He said," Ms. Ye, we thought you might have some concerns, so Mr. Gu rented the house in front of the door. We hope you could live there. We pay the rent just to thank you for taking Xiao Bao to dinner."


    Looking at the string of golden keys, Ye Zhiqiao felt her eyes filled with the symbols of gold, but only with reason did Ye Zhiqiao''s hand stop a millimeter away from the key.


    She glanced at the spoon with her eyes full of confusion and retracted her hand." I can''t take it, Mr. Gu," She said to Mohan," Not to mention the value of the apartment, even if it''s to be rented, I can''t afford it. Furthermore, one day I''ll leave Xiao Bao."


    "What if it''s'' the Mengxing that pays the rent''?" Gu Mohan''s deep eyes narrowed slightly. His thin eyes opened, and the air on his body dropped continuously.


    Meng xing!


    Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes were wide open, and she quickly regained her composure. She lowered her head and touched Xiao Bao, but said," With the Mengxing''s help, it would do, but I''m not the Mengxing. I''m just Ye Zhiqiao, an amateur designer."


    Xiao Bao, who was sitting on the bench, climbed up to the desk in the office with her short legs. Ye Zhiqiao did not understand what Xiao Bao was trying to do, but seeing Xiao Bao''s trembling body, she instinctively pushed her hands away and protected Xiao Bao. It was not until Xiao Bao stood on the table that Ye Zhiqiao finally calmed down, but she did not dare to leave her too far.


    Getting the height he wanted, Xiao Bao panted heavily, pointed to a small leaf in the middle of the paper, and said to Ye Zhiqiao seriously," You''re tricking people. There''s a small leaf in the middle of every piece of ''Mengxing'', and no matter what color it is, no matter what kind of fabric it is, it is always black and only those who were careful enough could notice it."


    Ye Zhiqiao was a little speechless. All these years, she had thought that only Jian Mengqi knew about it. She did not think that Xiao Bao not only knew about it, but also got a good understanding of it, and Hearing that from a child gave her an unbelievable feeling!


    "Ha ha ha." Ye Zhiqiao gave Gu Mohan an awkward look, holding Xiao Bao in his arms and stomping on Xiao Bao''s hair, ignoring Xiao Bao''s grudges. She was contemplating intensively how to keep the secret under her hat.


    As if he could see through what Ye Zhiqiao was thinking. Gu Mohan looked with satisfaction at his daughter, who was being stroked by Ye Zhiqiao and said, "Got it, my lips are sealed.."

 Chapter 7 Acceptance of Keys

    In the conversation, she finally accepted the keys under the eyes of Xiao Bao.


    Over the next two days, Ye Zhiqiao moved into the apartment opposite to Gu Mohan while Jian Mengqi was up to the final version of clothes.


    The readymade clothes were then a huge surprise to everyone, not only because the clothes are beautiful and very popular, but also because the Qiqiao readymade clothes "Qiqiao" produced were exactly those issued by Ye Yiyu''s studio a few days ago, no, or they should be said to be more mature than before, if the series that the clothes Ye Yiyu issued stood for the girl in love, then that of "Qiqiao" launched a more mature series and more surprisingly, this is the Meng xing clothes."


    The Mengxing is in the country! This discovery created a huge sensation.


    Ye Zhiqiao had just pushed open the door of the studio when a fiery red figure hugged her. This familiar scent was known to her without looking at Ye Zhiqiao. It was Jian Mengqi.


    "Zhiqiao, you are wonderful. Do you know how many orders there are?" Jian Mengqi kept talking close to Ye Zhiqiao''s ear like a little sparrow.


    It was not until Ye Zhiqiao sat in her seat that she pressed down on Jian Mengqi and said helplessly," Mengqi, calm down."


    "Ah!" Jian Mengqi suddenly seemed to remember something. She looked at Ye Zhiqiao nervously and said with a tight face," That''s right."


    "Will it expose your return?"


    Ye Zhiqiao smiled and turned his head, saying gently, "No, they didn''t know the Mengxing was me."


    "But ..." Just as Jian Mengqi was about to say something, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and Jian Mengqi''s words were cut off with a sneer.


    "Humph. I knew you must have suddenly returned to the country, but I didn''t expect that you are the world-famous'' Mengxing''."


    Looking at the person who pushed open the door of the office, Ye Zhiqiao''s originally gentle face turned a little cold. After a long time, Ye Zhiqiao''s cold voice finally clicked in the office." So what? Can you tell them now that I''m the Mengxing?"


    "Ye Yiyu, who allowed you to come in here and still show off to my people in my place? If a tiger doesn''t show its strength, do you think I''m sick?" Jian Mengqi''s eyes, which had been filled with astonishment, turned to be an ironic moment she saw Ye Yiyu.


    "So what? All these years. Aren''t you still under my control? What else do you have besides a better family than me? This is such a good area. It''s a huge waste for you to rent the place. Ye Yiyu looked at a disdainful smile on Jian Mengqi''s face and walked around Ye Zhiqiao''s office in her ten-inch heels, looking down on Jian Mengqi.


    "Hehe." The corner of Jian Mengqi''s mouth twitched, revealing eight little white teeth and staring unblinkingly at Ye Yiyu, but her tone was no better than anything else." For your words, I think you made two mistakes. First, if you hadn''t been selling Zhiqiao''s readymade clothes for the past few years, I wouldn''t have been willing to accept it. Besides my family background, I dare to do anything else that you are afraid of.."


    As she spoke, she turned her wrist and threw it at Ye Yiyu. Right on target.


    There was a puddle of water on Ye Yiyu''s clean clothes, and there were, of course, a few broken air balloons on the ground.


    While Ye Yiyu was still in shock, Jian Mengqi struck a few more deadly blows. At last, the battle ended with the shrieks of Ye Yiyu and the escape of the king.


    Looking at the runaway Ye Yiyu, Ye Zhiqiao held back the twitch of her lips and said to Jian Mengqi," Why are you still acting like a child? Where''d the balloon come from?"


    Jian Mengqi cocked her head and said somewhat awkwardly," This balloon was meant to hit you. It''s a celebration of the success of your first work back in the country."


    Ye Zhiqiao was petrified as fast as she could, and broke as fast as she could. She took a deep breath and left without a second thought.


    Back to her office, she locked the door of the office without care. She did not take care of Jian Mengqi''s various slaps outside the door and directly picked up the blank white paper and went into the next creation.


    After a long time, the quiet handheld on the table shook wildly. She picked up the handheld and took a look at it. She hastily left the table, opened the door, and secretly looked at the entire office room as long as she had the light.


    She locked the door tightly and ran downstairs with a stream of smoke. Just as the elevator door opened, Ye Zhiqiao saw it. There were two security guards on the left and right side of the door. They were a little surprised, but they didn''t make sense. After they reached the gate, there were four security guards who wrapped Ye Zhiqiao in a bag. Ye Zhiqiao raised her eyebrows slightly.


    The man in black said to Ye Zhiqiao," Our boss wants to see you."


    Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes changed slightly, and her little peach-like mouth opened slightly, saying," I''m not available now."


    The four men in black looked up and said," Sorry for being rude." Then they put Ye Zhiqiao into the car that was already parked.


    The resistance was fruitless, and she could only look at the car and saw it quickly leave the city. Looking at the two sides of the rapid retreat but some familiar scenes, she got a mixed feeling.


    Soon, the car stopped. Ye Zhiqiao made a slight noise, opened the door, and walked down. Looking at the familiar door, Ye Zhiqiao pushed open them.


    "Who asked you to come back?" Ye Zhiqiao''s eardrums were pierced with a powerful voice, and it was no wonder that Ye Zhiqiao had seen such a scene in her heart. Ever since he was young, only when he was facing Ye Yiyu did their Zhiqiao nation army show fatherly love, and only when they were facing Ye Zhiqiao did they feel disgusted and disgusted.


    Suppressing the heartache in his heart, Ye Zhiqiao smiled bitterly and said," I just wanted to come back."


    "Come back?" A mean voice came from behind Ye Guojun, dressed in elegant Zhuang Minjia, looking at Ye Zhiqiao with a look of disapproval. There was no hidden evil in her mouth about Ye Zhiqiao."


    "When did I hurt her? Ye Zhiqiao''s face was filled with a sudden sense of responsibility, and she had a bad feeling.


    "When?" Zhuang Minjia sneered and said in a strange tone," First you come back without a click, and then you come back and change your language. Yi Yu is kind enough to let you go home, and you let Jian Mengqi''s little guy beat us Yi Yu with water. What''s wrong with you?"


    "I didn''t. Ye Zhiqiao looked at the darkening face of Ye Guojun and quickly rejected it.

 Chapter 8 Palm

    Before Ye Zhiqiao could finish her sentence, Ye Guojun''s rough palm went straight to Ye Zhiqiao''s face.


    All the words were drowned in the slap. All the voices fell into an endless silence.


    Looking at the five clear finger marks on Ye Zhiqiao''s face, Ye Yiyu, who was sitting on the sofa, secretly lifted the corner of her mouth. A smug smile flashed across her eyes. Ye Zhiqiao, so what if you win the first game, even if you go back to the country? You''re still the Ye Zhiqiao who can''t get her parents'' love, the one you love the most, the one you''ve never had in your life.


    "Actually, sometimes, I don''t understand. Ye Zhiqiao tilted his head, his voice as cold as ever, but there was an indescribable emotion in it:" why is it your flesh and blood, and all your love, and all your indifference? Ever since I was a kid, I''ve been trying to do everything right, but why?"


    "Why would you be so happy even if Ye Yiyu only passed the exam five years ago? Five years ago, you didn''t even know the difference between red and white, and you didn''t even ask me a question. You didn''t even look at me and threw me out of the country without even asking me. Maybe I could go back to the country without your permission. Yes, I didn''t get your permission, so I went back to the country. But you still believe that Ye Yiyu wouldn''t even know me."


    She really couldn''t understand why her treatment with Ye Yiyu was so different since she was also a member of their family and a daughter of Ye Zhengguo.


    "Why didn''t you die for your mother in those days?" Ye Guojun did not answer Ye Zhiqiao, but looked at her with a look of loathing that could not be compared to her, and even without a voice that was as gentle as Ye Zhiqiao had been when he first came:" you are a mistake to live in this world."


    "Wrong?" Ye Zhiqiao''s tears fell so imperceptibly, and his mouth was heavy and young:" wrong?"


    Ye Zhiqiao walked to the side of the photo, picked up the photo, and gently touched the face of the woman in the photo. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. Ye Zhiqiao''s face suddenly changed. She threw the photo onto the ground and broke the frame.


    Ye Guojun pushed Ye Zhiqiao away violently. She looked at the broken photo with a sad face, and her face turned dark instantly.


    Ye Zhiqiao was still in a daze and crawled up from the ground. He didn''t even feel the broken glass on his finger, so he let the blood drop on the ground and walked out of the Ye family gate.


    The rain fell on her, and Ye Zhiqiao walked in front of her like a wooden man. After walking for a long time, a black car stopped in front of Ye Zhiqiao. The car door was opened, and a tall figure appeared in front of Ye Zhiqiao. A heavy rain hose fell on Ye Zhiqiao''s head.


    Feeling the rain on his head disappear, Ye Zhiqiao looked up at the black rain, looked up, and saw a face that was incomparable to the air, made a list of hot voices, and said," why are you here?" "


    Gu Mohan looked at Ye Zhiqiao, who was drenched in the rain, and his heart ached for her. His eyes were filled with suspicion. The thin lips slightly:" Xiao Bao worries about you." "


    "Worry about me? Ye Zhiqiao lifted half of her head and fell abruptly. Some of her rustling voice stopped abruptly. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly closed, and her body fell backward.


    Mohan''s face remained unchanged for a thousand years. In an instant, he had a look of fear and fear on his face. He threw his hand away and picked up Ye Zhiqiao. He returned to the car with a shiver in his voice." Go to the hospital." "


    Shengxin Hospital, senior ward.


    Xiao Bao looked at Ye Zhiqiao, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed with a sad face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.


    Qin Baiye said gently, carefully holding the Xiao Bao in his arms. He said gently," Xiao Bao, don''t cry. Godfather will take you home, okay?"


    Xiao Bao wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. With a determined face, she turned her head away from Qin Baiye''s gaze. She held her short legs and walked over to Gu Mohan, who was sitting by the bed with a cold face. She stared at Mohan''s legs and crawled to Gu Mohan''s side. Finally, she was parallel to Gu Mohan.


    "Why don''t you protect her?"


    After a long time, the Xiao Bao could not stand. Gu Mohan stretched out her hand and held the Xiao Bao in her arms. Her deep eyes were staring at the unconscious girl lying on the hospital bed. Her voice was filled with an indescribable coldness, and she seemed to have promised her Xiao Bao," There won''t happen again."


    The night fell at one o''clock. Qin Baiye gently picked up Xiao Bao, who was sleeping beside Ye Zhiqiao and rushed out to take care of Mohan. As the door of the ward was closed, only Gu Mohan, who was sitting beside the bed, was left in the room.


    It was late at night, and there was only a dim yellow light in the ward. It shone on Ye Zhiqiao''s pale face. Gu Mohan, who was sitting beside the bed, stretched out her slender fingers and placed Ye Zhiqiao''s hand on her palm. In the darkness, she made it impossible to see her face clearly.


    "No, I wasn''t. I wasn''t born wrong. No, I wasn''t." Ye Zhiqiao, who had been lying quietly on the bed, suddenly began to murmur and speak in a low voice, but her pale face began to break out in cold sweat, and his body began to tremble.


    Gu Mohan had already pressed the emergency call button in the first moment. In a few seconds, a group of people in white coats rushed to open the door of the room. Looking at Ye Zhiqiao, who was trembling on the bed, Gu Mohan could only walk outside and wait anxiously. Half an hour passed, and Ye Zhiqiao was screaming loudly in the ward.


    The cold air on Gu Mohan''s body grew heavier and heavier. In less than a minute, the head of the hospital, who was sweating profusely, walked to Gu Mohan''s side, trembling with fear. He felt Gu Mohan''s ceaseless coldness. The headmaster''s heart trembled, and he said," Mr. Gu, Ms. Ye, this is a psychological problem. We have given two sedatives in a row, but none of them worked."


    Before the headmaster could finish his sentence, Gu Mohan kicked Ye Zhiqiao''s door with his leg. Two guards were trying to tie Ye Zhiqiao up with a pair of broomsticks. Gu Mohan''s deep eyes darkened, and an angry voice rang throughout the room. "Get out of my way¡£."


    All the people in the ward looked at each other and quickly left the door without any hesitation. The hospital chief even gave the door to Gu Mohan to help him. When there were only Ye Zhiqiao and Gu Mohan in the room, Gu Mohan was so cold that he did not see them. He walked to Ye Zhiqiao and said gently," I am Gu Mohan." "


    As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug Ye Zhiqiao.

 Chapter 9 Peace

    Ye Zhiqiao, who was in a coma, seemed to understand what Gu Mohan had said and allowed Gu Mohan to hug her.


    Gu Mohan heaved a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. He held Ye Zhiqiao in his arms and said in his most gentle voice to Ye Zhiqiao over and over again," Your presence is now my greatest joy."


    After a long time, Ye Zhiqiao, who was in the arms, calmed down. After a while, her breathing became even louder.


    She opened her eyes and saw a dazzling white. She closed her eyes. After a while, Ye Zhiqiao finally opened her eyes. There was no need for suspicion. The smell of disinfectant in her nose had already shown that Ye Zhiqiao was in the hospital.


    "Awake?" Some of the rustling men clicked in Ye Zhiqiao''s ear, and it was, indeed, five meters below Ye Zhiqiao''s ear.


    Ye Zhiqiao''s body instantly stiffened, and she moved her neck stiffly. Just as she turned over, she met a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky. Her eyes moved slightly downward and slightly to the left. She moved a little to the right, and her beautiful peach eyes gradually became large.


    Gu Mohan looked at the incredulous Ye Zhiqiao in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.


    Damn it!


    Ye Zhiqiao suddenly stepped back to take a good look, but her body was in the air, making Ye Zhiqiao realize that she was still in bed at the moment. The air felt unfamiliar, but it did not mean that Ye Zhiqiao did not know what it was.


    Suddenly close your eyes and feel the pain.


    A warm hug suddenly wrapped itself, and a click came from under Ye Zhiqiao''s body. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw himself in Gu Mohan''s disapproval, while Mohan fell heavily to the ground.


    "Ah! Ye Zhiqiao quickly got up and knelt down beside Gu Mohan. He held Mohan''s arm and helped Mohan up. He asked carefully," Are you all right?" "


    Gu Mohan glanced at Ye Zhiqiao, straightened up his wrinkled clothes, grabbed Ye Zhiqiao''s wrist, and threw Ye Zhiqiao on the bed. He clicked the doctor''s button and sat down on the chair silently, then released his cold air to show that he was not happy.


    Most of the white coats came and went quickly. Ye Zhiqiao knew that she had been unconscious for a day and a night.


    She secretly turned her head away, and no one else was in her body, so she had been in a coma for so long!


    "You are not wrong." Gu Mohan, who was sitting quietly explaining the cold, suddenly threw out this sentence in silence. Ye Zhiqiao, who was still feeling emotional, was stunned and asked in a daze," Mr. Gu, what did you say?"


    "You are not wrong. You are not wrong about Xiao Bao and me. Ye Zhiqiao was stunned by Mohan''s words.


    Ye Zhiqiao said knowingly," but you and Xiao Bao will leave me one day."


    "No."


    "No what?" Ye Zhiqiao''s mind was suddenly a little rusty.


    "My father said that he and I would never leave you. The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and Qin Baiye and Jian Mengqi, with a wicked smile, came out with their little pink treasures.


    Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes lit up the moment she saw the Xiao Bao. She extended her hands to Xiao Bao knowingly.


    Xiao Bao''s little face, which was still somewhat mysterious, instantly looked like a flower. As a result, she relaxed her hands and ran to the hospital bed with her short legs. She didn''t need anyone to hug her. The young driver kicked the shoes on the fly and held the chair beside the bed at a speed of light.


    Holding and spreading


    Xiao Bao, the milk-sweet, the things that Ye Zhiqiao didn''t care about, were instantly thrown into her mind...


    A pair of white arms followed the Xiao Bao and tightly hugged Ye Zhiqiao. Smelling the familiar scent of perfume, Ye Zhiqiao did not have to look up to know that it was Jian Mengqi. And she put her arms around Jian Mengqi.


    "Zhiqiao, you scared the hell out of me. You''re awake." Jian Mengqi sniffed at the scent that belonged to Ye Zhiqiao. Jian Mengqi felt Ye Zhiqiao''s warmth, and then her eyes lit up.


    In the past few years, every time she saw Ye Zhiqiao, her big eyes were filled with hope and smiles. This was the first time she saw Ye Zhiqiao drenched in water. Her eyes were closed, and she sent her to the hospital with a pale face. If Jian Mengqi hadn''t been strong enough to believe that Ye Zhiqiao was fine, she would have been Jian Mengqi in the bed next to Ye Zhiqiao. It was only when Jian Mengqi felt the truth this time that she felt the tears that had been held back for a long time.


    Ye Zhiqiao, who felt the warmth of the tears, was also stunned. He thought that he might really scare Jian Mengqi, so Ye Zhiqiao smiled at her and the little girl.


    Qin Baiye, who had been ignored, rubbed his nose and walked to Gu Mohan''s side." Mr. Gu, why don''t we hug each other too?"


    Gu Mohan swept his eyes away, leaving only Qin Baiye with a mouth full of blood.


    It had been several days since Ye Zhiqiao was discharged from the hospital, and in the next few days, the Ye family had sent Ye Zhiqiao a piece of advice to get out of the way, and after a whole day in the room, she came to the studio without stopping.


    Jian Mengqi pushed open the office, put the Ye family statement on Jian Mengqi''s desk, quietly waiting for Jian Mengqi to finish reading.


    "Damn it, Zhiqiao, Ye Guojun, is he your biological father or not? He can do all this over - the - top stuff, and you''re still thinking about it." Jian Mengqi threw the speaker away and said to Ye Zhiqiao angrily.


    "I should, I don''t know." Ye Zhiqiao sat smiling, his tone casual and free.


    Jian Mengqi looked at Ye Zhiqiao and was slightly stunned. The woman on the sofa was still beautiful and attractive. The ink color was long and scattered all over her body two times. She was wearing a pair of long black skirts that no one could imitate. Even sitting on the sofa, she could show her shapely figure. She was wearing black high-heeled shoes, just like Ye Zhiqiao.


    "What?" Looking up at Jian Mengqi, who did not speak during the day, Ye Zhiqiao asked a question between his eyebrows.


    Jian Mengqi seemed to have turned around and walked to Ye Zhiqiao''s side. He sized Ye Zhiqiao up and said," Zhiqiao, have you realized that you are different from the original?"


    "Original?" Ye Zhiqiao thought for a moment and smiled back at Jian Mengqi." When did you come?"


    "Before you went to the hospital, it was a little different from how you feel now." Said Jian Mengqi, with a straight face.

 Chapter 10 Eyes

    Taking out his glasses and taking a picture of himself, Ye Zhiqiao said with a smile," it feels like nothing''s going on."


    Looking into Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes, Jian Mengqi shouted and said to Ye Zhiqiao," Zhiqiao, I know what''s wrong. I used to see your eyes filled with hope, but now you look a little like Mr. Gu''s."


    Mr. Gu''s eyes?


    Ye Zhiqiao''s mind could not help but see Gu Mohan''s eyes. They were deep and seductive, but they were also dangerous. Can my eyes be the same as mine?


    With a smile on her face, Ye Zhiqiao took out a u-shaped from her bag and placed it in front of Jian Mengqi. After a while, she said to Jian Mengqi as if she had made up her mind," Mengqi, this is a series of designs. I think you started a show with the name'' Mengxing'' after that."


    After receiving the USB, Jian Mengqi was suddenly stunned and said," In the name of the Mengxing? Are you going to make public your identity?"


    Ye Zhiqiao smiled, her tone calm, but her voice was firm, and she said," Since they thought I am a mistake, then I will use my ability to prove that my birth was not a mistake."


    Looking at her best friend''s unprecedented determination, Jian Mengqi accepted the U stick and smiled sweetly." After a week, Mengxing will show herself!"


    After the problem, the Gu family hotel has launched a show known as the" Mengxing now" and, in the name of the Gu family, sent invitations to all the aristocratic families, including, of course, the city.


    Ye Yiyu took Bai Zixuan by the arm and walked into the party with an indescribable joy on his face. The only thing that came into the venue was the clothes with the Mengxing logo, from the original green to the last maturity.


    Like a young girl''s growing up history, the last exhibition in the venue is a snow-white wedding veil, wedding veil a stone is not there, but with its simple and simple, outlined the bride''s most beautiful figure.


    As she approached, she realized that the waist of the wedding veil was made of white four-leaf grass, which had never been perfectly combined with the simple grass and four-leaf grass.


    Together, so that people can feel a happy looking bride standing in front of them.


    Ye Yiyu picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and said to the white boy beside him," Zixuan, I feel weird about this show. Only clothes, no models, not even the host, and I still don''t know who''s doing this show, and you sure that Gu family sent the message out?"


    Bai Zixuan slapped Ye Yiyu gently in the palm of his hand and whispered in Ye Yiyu''s ear," do you think anyone in this city would dare to post that as a Gu family?"


    Ye Yiyu thought about it. The Gu family was the only family that had been handed down. Stamping was shaking three times. Who dared to pretend to be the name of the Gu family? That was enough.


    "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to the first show back in the country by the world famous designer Mengxing, and the Mengxing itself will be on the show. Here''s our designer,'' the Mengxing'' in particular."


    "Mengxing" clothing is enough to hold up today since we are fortunate to see the spread of the word" Mengxing," is not big!


    When the people were surprised, a white lantern had already struck the second floor of the stairs.


    A man and a woman who couldn''t move their eyes showed up in their eyeballs. The man was dressed in a black suit, had a tall figure, a perfect figure, a face that made women jealous. His eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, his deep eyes, his tall nose, his perfect chin, his body, and the air that was born with him made people recognize him at first sight. Gu Mohan, Gu family. It is said that he was the rich, Mr. Right. She was still single, but who was holding her in his arms.


    She was dressed in a long black dress, with her pink-colored head resting on her head. Small nose, small mouth like a peach, that is, the tenderness of a small family jade, but also everyone''s show of the air, face with a smile, such a girl, standing by Gu Mohan since the gas is not reduced.


    Ye Zhiqiao!


    Ye Yiyu widened her eyes and clenched her hands tightly. Her sharp fingernails broke the tender flesh in her palm. She felt so painful that there was no way for Ye Yiyu to cover up the huge waves in her heart.


    He was clearly banished by the Ye family, but he was just a person. Why did he have to put on such a high position to make me look up to you?


    The malice in his eyes, the hatred in his heart, ran towards Ye Zhiqiao, who came with the money.


    As if he had felt the hatred in his heart, Ye Zhiqiao could see Ye Yiyu and Bai Zixuan in the crowd at first glance.


    It was still the same as the year, but she could not find the feeling of the year anymore.


    Strangers usually smile and walk up to the only high ground in the garden without looking back.


    It''s her!


    Bai Zixuan did not dare to recognize it until the smile on Ye Zhiqiao''s lips made Bai Zixuan immediately realize that the woman who led her customer Mohan upstairs was Ye Zhiqiao, who was following her back and holding a set of paper, and who was full of joy.


    He has always known that Ye Zhiqiao was beautiful, but Ye Zhiqiao was never seen by Bai Zixuan for a long time. If Ye Zhiqiao was a flower before, then Ye Zhiqiao is now a rose with a charming smell.

 Chapter 11 Leaves

    "Ye Zhiqiao! What are you doing here? How can a person like you appear on such an occasion?"


    YeYe Yiyu''s voice was full of hostility and glances, staring at Ye Zhiqiao angrilyYe Zhiqiao.


    YeYe Yiyu''s words broke the silence of the venue. The customers who had been deeply attracted by Mohan''s cold atmosphere and Ye Zhiqiao''s beauty began to discuss.


    "I was thinking about who it was. It was our Ms. Ye! Your IQ is really high! Our Zhiqiao, the founder of the Mengxing, is there any problem here?"


    Before Ye Zhiqiao could speak, Jian Mengqi looked at YeYe Yiyu triumphantly.


    YeYe Yiyu glanced at Jian Mengqi as if he had not heard what Jian Mengqi had said. He turned to the crowd and raised his voice." Everyone, attention please!" This is Ye Zhiqiao! It''s actually my half-sister, but her! My mother had sent her out of the country for this reason, but she never repented and now sneaked back. He looked over at Ye Zhiqiao.


    The surrounding discussion became louder. Seeing this, Ye Yiyu continued to fan the flames and said with a look that the excitement is not too much of an issue: Ye.


    "I don''t know what method I used to deceive Mr. Gu! She must have come out of the Mengxing today. She''s been fond of copying things from a young age!"


    YeYe Yiyu''s last few words," I''ve liked to copy other people since I was a child," were particularly heavy!


    "What is the situation? What the hell is going on?!"


    "I don''t think she''s the Mengxing, either!"


    "Should Mr. Gu be wrong?"


    "She even dares to lie to Mr. GU!'' this woman is not easy!"


    "Who is she?"


    "I think she is! The field was instantly in a mess, and everyone had doubts about Ye Zhiqiao.


    "YeYe Yiyu! You crossed the line!" Jian Mengqi felt very angry, and just as she was about to explain, Gu Mohan and Qin Baiye could no longer hear him, and they all wanted to go to the evil YeYe Yiyu in front of them, YeZhiqiaobut Ye Zhiqiao stp[[ed them.


    "Don''t worry, we''ll make them understand."


    Ye Zhiqiao gritted his teeth as if he had been hesitating for a long time before making a decision, and then an elegant body left the scene, which made Jian Mengqi, Gu Mohan, and Qin Baiye very surprised!


    "Zhiqiao! Where are you going?"


    ''I''ll be right back! Then leaves disappeared into the crowd.


    "Look! I''m telling you the truth! Now you''re going to run away after I''ve exposed it! Ye Zhiqiao, she''s a liar!"


    Seeing Ye Zhiqiao go, YeYe Yiyu became even more complacent and stabbed Ye Zhiqiao in the face.


    Today, YeYe Yiyu was dressed in a big red dress, like a cocky rooster in the middle of a party.


    "You ..." Just as Jian Mengqi was about to speak, Gu Mohan hinted to Jian Mengqi''s head, implying that she should not bother with Ye Yiyu. Initially, Gu Mohan wanted to help Ye Zhiqiao, but just now, Ye Zhiqiao was very confident. Gu Mohan also believed that Ye Zhiqiao could handle YeYe Yiyu easily, so she looked at the people quietly.


    Bai Zixuan was also curious to know how Ye Zhiqiao would explain it. How would the little girl who had followed him and planned to show her a happy face?


    About five minutes later, Ye Zhiqiao appeared to be in the eYe of the beholder, still as elegant as ever, with a pile of papers on her hand, and her pink-colored head seemed to be a little disturbed, but there was no sign of Ye Zhiqiao''s charm.


    "Hello, everyone! I''m Ye, Zhiqiao! I am the founder of the Meng xing, and I want to be open to you today by giving less to this opportunity. At this time, Ye Zhiqiao seemed to radiate light, full of confidence, and his elegant smile hung on his face. The whole place exploded again, and Ye Zhiqiao raised the volume again.


    "I know that I am now suddenly in doubt, so I am now taking out the first draft of all my works to explain to you my ideas!"


    After that, Ye Zhiqiao opened the document and took out the first picture. It was a simple and elegant dress. It was a dress made of peach heart and four-leaf grass that the girl liked. However, it was not the common feeling of peach heart. It was the first draft, but the reader could still feel the authenticity and beauty of the dress.


    "Look, everyone, this dress must be familiar to everyone! It was my famous work, and it was the last thing I wanted to do. I was setting this dress when it was spring, so a lot of designers were planning different kinds of flowers, and I had a chance to see the newly sprouted four-leaf grass on the side of the road, using the girl''s favorite peach heart and the four-leaf clover in front of me, squatting on the side of the road for a little while. "


    Ye Zhiqiao paused a while and touched the paper.


    So from that time on there will be a little leaf on the inside of every piece of clothing I''ve made, and no matter what color it is, no matter what fabric it is, this leaf will be black, and as for why it''s black, I''ll tell you about it later. "


    All the people in the room couldn''t help but applaud. They couldn''t help but tell Ye Zhiqiao what he was thinking and how to create it.


    "Still, this dress is very famous, but it is very big, and every young girl in the country is able to afford it. Because the fabric I chose at that time was jacquard, the cost was low, but it was very comfortable to wear, so it was greatly reduced, so ordinary girls in the country could afford it!"


    Ye Zhiqiao''s voice was like a thundering sound again.


    "That''s my idea, and many of the designs may not be able to show you today, so we''ll have a chance to show you later. Have a good day! Thank you for your love of the Mengxing!"


    Ye Zhiqiao bowed gracefully at 90 degrees after the ceremony. Her face was full of enchanting smiles, which were very heartwarming.


    "No! It''s not like that! You ... You''re a copycat! It''s not what you think!" Said Ye Yiyu.


    "This Ms. Ye, I''m the host of the Gu family today. Do you think I, Gu Mohan, am blind and ignorant?"


    Gu Mohan''s entire body was emitting cold air. His deep eyes stared at YeYe Yiyu, who was at this moment unreasonably, and he spoke word by word.


    YeYe Yiyu was frightened by Gu Mohan''s look and didn''t know what to say.


    "Mr. Gu, we have always been family whisperers. Please don''t take it too seriously. We believe that Ye Zhiqiao is the owner of the Mengxing!"


    Seeing Gu Mohan''s expression, Bai Zixuan was afraid that he would provoke Gu Mohan to come forward and grab YeYe Yiyu.

 Chapter 12 Youve Changed

    Seeing Bai Zixuan say that, Gumohan lost his head to them.


    At this time, Yeyiyu, who was held by bai zi, clenched his hands tightly. His sharp fingernails once again broke the tender flesh in his palm. The pain in his hands was so deep that he could not do anything to make Yeyiyu hide the hatred in his heart.


    "Ye Zhi Qiao, you wait! Don''t think I wouldn''t dare touch you now that you have a Gumohan! "


    Yeyiyu, who was exposed by the people, was angry and secretly decided to pay Ye Zhi Qiao, leaving the scene in a huff.


    Seeing Yeyiyu leave in a hurry, Ye Zhi Qiao revealed a smile.


    For so many years, the grievance of being alone outside the country seemed to have been released. A drop of water fell from Ye Zhi Qiao jing''s little face without a sound. No one saw that ye zhi had used the fastest speed to recover her emotions.


    "Zhiqiao! Do you remember me? When did you come back? Suddenly a familiar voice broke Ye Zhi Qiao''s memory.


    This voice Ye Zhi Qiao can remember all his life, Ye Zhi Qiao turned back a sign of a smile.


    "Bai Zixuan, president bai, how could I forget you? "


    Hearing Ye Zhi Qiao''s words, Bai Zixuan was surprised at first and then quickly recovered his manners.


    "Zhiqiao, you have changed! You''re getting prettier and more gassy! "


    Ye Zhi Qiao saw that Bai Zixuan''s mind was full of things that happened five years ago. What he did with Yeyiyu five years ago, his father sent her out of the country five years ago, and his child five years ago ... Thinking of this, Ye Zhi Qiao tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart and replied calmly," really? Thank you! "


    Bai Zixuan felt the change in Ye Zhi Qiao. He felt the strangeness in his heart. He smiled and said," Zhiqiao, do you remember when we were together? You know what? I''ve been thinking about you ever since you left. I''ve missed the time when I was with you. Do you remember that? "


    "Oh! Of course, I remember everything, and how you betrayed me, how you treated me, how you hooked up with Yeyiyu, how you didn''t have my eight - month baby! "Ye Zhi Qiao''s body was trembling, and every word was so aggressive that he could not speak.


    Hearing these words was said from the quiet girl who admired her. Bai Zixuan really did not think that Ye Zhi Qiao would change so much. Apart from not being able to think about it and being angry, Bai Zixuan held his fist tightly and dared not show it. He thought about it again.


    "Zhiqiao, all those years were accidents! Didn''t think you''d remember. Your'' Mengxing'' is really famous outside the country, but you are now back in the country, with only you and Jianmengqi, do you think you can make it? "Bai Zixuan put away the good deed he had just made.


    "I don''t think I need Mr. White to worry about this! Ye Zhi Qiao remained cold and did not look directly at Bai Zixuan. Ye Zhi Qiao only wanted to leave Bai Zixuan and Yeyiyu far away. It was best not to see them for the rest of his life.


    "Oh! Yeah? I think I can help you in the white house in the name of the country! Make you the most famous designer in the world! Miss Ye Zhi Qiao, are you sure you don''t have to think about it? "


    Ye Zhi Qiao felt that Bai Zixuan''s face was particularly disgusting. Why didn''t he notice that he was such a powerful person before, but he thought about it and cooperated. Yes! I''m going to destroy your white house collection!


    "Since Mr. Bai said so, I have no reason to refuse. After that, my'' Mengxing'' reputation will depend on you white group! Ye Zhi Qiao had another elegant smile, which made one wonder what it meant.


    This" Mengxing now" is a little bit of a problem, but it''s a success.


    "Zhiqiao, I still have some things to do at my office so I'' ll go back first! You''ve had a hard day, go back and get some rest! "Said cherie, taking a breath and leaving.


    "Be careful on the road! "


    Slowly the people left, looking at the first full of people, suddenly empty, Ye Zhi Qiao felt empty, as if he had been alone in the united states five years ago, looking at the street unfamiliar faces, not a place to cry! So for the past few years in the united states, Ye Zhi Qiao has been forcing himself to stand alone, forcing himself to rise.


    Jianmengqi and little treasure were with him these days, but Bai Zixuan didn'' t care about her at all. Ye Zhi Qiao felt as if he had lived for so long without much meaning. As if life had always been difficult for him.


    "Let''s go! I was just on my way to take you back. The voice was cold, but Ye Zhi Qiao felt a little warm. Gumohan''s towering figure was appearing in front of him, looking at him with both eyes.


    Gumohan watched Ye Zhi Qiao for a long time and seemed to feel Ye Zhi Qiao''s bruise. He hesitated for a long time before saying these words.


    "No need. Meng qi found me a car. There will be a si machine to pick me up. I can go back by myself. When Ye Zhi Qiao was in a bad mood, he wanted to be alone and not talk to anyone.


    Gumohan wanted to say something more, but he didn''t know how to open his mouth and watched as Ye Zhi Qiao disappeared into his sight.


    After getting in the car, the driver drove in the direction of ye zhi Qiaojia.


    Ye Zhi Qiao thought a lot about his life in the car, including his later life, and then what to do, how to deal with his family? Ah, it is better to say that it is a family than an enemy! Ye Zhi Qiao bit his lip and looked ahead.


    "Didi, didi ... Bam! "


    Ye Zhi Qiao heard a loud click and his eyes darkened, and he knew nothing.


    As if he had lost his weight, Ye Zhi Qiao felt that he was young and had no strength. Ye Zhi Qiao desperately tried to open his eyes, but he couldn''t do anything ...

 Chapter 13 Something Is Missing

    "Bro, this little girl looks really good! No wonder he wanted to frame her. Was he jealous that she was too beautiful?"


    "I haven''t even opened my mouth yet!"


    "Yes, Yes, Yes! Brother, you should have a try first!"


    Zhiqiao Ye Zhiqiao still didn''t have any strength, and couldn''t open his eyes. He just heard two wretched voices discussing something in the dark, and he also clearly felt two hands walking back and forth on him. When it came to the disgusting laughter, Ye Zhiqiao wanted to avoid or push that hand away, but Ye Zhiqiao didn''t have any strength at all, and he didn''t have any strength to resist.ZhiqiaoZhiqiao


    Ye Zhiqiao felt the two hands getting more and more impudent.


    Ye Zhiqiao was lying on a big old bed, someone was riding on her, the zipper behind her skirt was pulled away, and a rough hand touched Ye Zhiqiao''s smooth muscle, which was spreading slowly from the back, and the laughter grew more and more unrestrained.


    "No ... No ..."


    "Sweetie! I''ll make you comfortable! Why is your skin so slippery!"


    Ye Zhiqiao struggled with all her might to utter a few words, but the hand did not stop, but sped up and sounded happy.


    "Toot, toot, toot, toot ..."


    "Shit! Who! Please don''t bother me while I''m doing my job!"


    That hand stopped reluctantly and started to rummage around.


    "Wait for me! I''ll see you soon!"


    The man shouted at Ye Zhiqiao and picked up the phone again. Who! I''m busy! No! I''ll talk to you tomorrow!"


    "Ah! It''s you! No, no, no! I didn''t know it was you? No, no, no, I''m not busy. I need your help!" The voice turned from irritability to a little stooping.


    "You can rest assured that it will not be done! Don''t worry about me! OK OK OK! I will! Well ..."


    "Bro! What? This beautiful chick can''t move? What''s going on?"


    "If you dare to move him, you may die!"


    Then, what happened afterward, Ye Zhiqiao did not know, but she felt safe and went to sleep again. She did not know how long she had slept.


    The Gu family at this time.


    "Humph! I''m not eating, I''m not eating! I don''t eat without Zhiqiao!" The little bundle stood with its two short legs apart, one little chubby hand on its waist, and the other pointed to the opposite house, pouting, and crying in a childish voice.


    "But yourZhiqiao has not come to accompany you. What can I do? Looking at the puffy little bag, Mohan felt both amused and distressed. He held her in his hands and looked at the small bag with a helpless look."


    "Then why don''t you go and find her? Well, it must be dad. You''re too cold. You pissed auntie off! I don''t care, you give it back to my aunt!" Said Xiao Bao, with a little water in his eyes.


    "Well! Go, daddy will take you to him. "


    Gu Mohan pinched the little girl''s face and carried her to the side.


    "Guess?"


    Xiao Bao looked proudly at the customer, Mohan. Gu Mohan just couldn''t help but turn his head away.


    Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"


    "Zhiqiao! Open the door! I''m coming for you!"


    The little girl''s voice was playing all the time, but there was nothing else.


    Mohan felt a little uneasy. He took out his phone and gave Ye Zhiqiao a call. Unexpectedly, it was still a cold female voice.


    "I'' m sorry, but the phone you called has been switched off. Please broadcast it later ..."


    Gu Mohan''s face turned cold, and his eyes were frosted with frost.


    "Father, don''t be like that, I''m afraid!" The little girl had never seen such a father, and she was so frightened that she hugged Mohan with her little hands.


    "I''m all right."


    "The housekeeper came and took the little things back to the room!" Gu Mohan called out to his villa and said to Xiao Bao, who was hugging him warmly.


    "Stay at home and I''ll go find your Zhiqiao, OK?"


    Although his voice was very warm, Mohan''s brows were tightly knitted, and his expression was extremely beautiful. He knew that the little girl wanted to follow Mohan out, but she still looked more obedient.


    "All right, stop it!"


    The housekeeper received Xiao Bao from Mohan''s patronage.


    Ye Zhiqiao must have been up all night! What the hell is going on? Where the hell is she?


    "Hello? Who is it? Have you seen this number? I''m not ready! Is that a phone call?"


    "Well ... It''s Gu Mohan!"


    "Ah! Mr. Gu! It''s you! How did you know my hand number? Something wrong? I''m almost busy. The company''s been ..."


    "I want to ask you, is Ye ZZhiqiao at the company now?"


    "Zhiqiao? Didn''t I send a plane to take her home yesterday? What?"


    "You mean you haven''t seen Yezhi since you left yesterday?"


    Gu Mohan suddenly stopped at the side of the road, calling nervously.


    "Yes ... Yes! I haven''t seen Zhiqiao since I left yesterday. She should be at home now! What the hell is going on?!"


    "Ye Zhiqiao is not at home now, and her phone is turned off. You haven''t seen her, and I haven''t seen her since yesterday. Where do you think she''s going?"


    "What? Where are you now? I''m going to Zhiqiao''s villa!"


    Jian Mengqi heard the man put down all his work and hurried to Ye Zhiqiao''s villa. Just then, Gu Mohan came back here, and Qin Baiye heard the news and got there.


    "I have a handful of keys here that Zhiqiao prepared for me!"


    Jian Mengqi patted his computer bag, then he took out the small bag of keys, opened the door of Qiaojia leaves Zhi.


    "Zhiqiao! Zhiqiao! Zhiqiao! Are you there?¡±


    Jian Mengqi shouted as loudly as he could.


    "Don''t worry too much. Ye Zhiqiao is not young anymore. She should be fine. She might have met some old classmates. Don''t worry too much. "


    Qin Baiye was also worried, but he still comforted her.


    "No! That''s impossible! I''m the only one Zhiqiao plays in the country? Where the hell is she? It''s all my fault! If only I had sent it back to the office yesterday! If I hadn''t had the machine ... The machine!"


    Jian Mengqi suddenly widened her eyes, her hands fumbling over the machine.


    "Hey! What happened to Ms. Ye I asked you to pick up yesterday? What the hell happened? Where did you send Ms. Ye? Where are you now?"


    The words that came from the other side of the phone made her so scared that her hand dropped to the ground!

 Chapter 14 Try to Hurt Her

    "What happened? What''s going on?"


    Qin Baiye comes forward to support Jian Mengqi, who is about to fall to the ground and asks worriedly.


    "The director said he was in the hospital. He and Zhiqiao had a car accident, but Zhiqiao is in the hospital now. No one knows where she is. "


    Hearing this, Gu Mohan''s face changed. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and left the villa.


    Now Jian Mengqi was like an angry balloon. Her eyes were dim, her lips were pale, and she hugged Qin Baiye''s shoulder with no strength. It was as if she was asking herself or Qin Baiye.


    "Where did Zhiqiao go? Zhiqiao was born with a bad life, and these things happened right after he returned to the country. I ... Blame me ..."


    Jian Mengqi cried like a child, his head was messed up, and his face was ruined. Qin Baiye looked at Jian Mengqi''s sad heart and felt bad. He had to hold Jian Mengqi in one hand and gently touch Jian Mengqi''s head in the other.


    "It''s not your fault, it''s all right, it''s all right, Ye Zhiqiao will be all right. "


    Gu Mohan, who was in his car at this time, was holding his hands in the direction of the car with a straight face.


    "Hey! Did you find any of the leaves I asked you to look into?"


    "Mr. Gu, I''ve found it. I''ll send you the address right away. "


    "Well!"


    After receiving the address, Gu Mohan sped up and arrived at Zhiqiao''s apartment at a flying speed.


    Ye family.


    Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! ..."


    When the housekeeper saw Gu Mohan''s face, she jumped in fright and said with her head bent.


    "Please, I''ll tell the host! This way, please!"


    Without even looking at the housekeeper, Gu Mohan walked straight in.


    "Mr. Gu! You''re here! Why didn''t you inform us in advance? Let''s get ready!"


    Zhuang Minjia saw Gu Mohan''s bright eyes and walked over to Gu Mohan. If he had the chance to cooperate with Gu Mohan, the Yejia would be a thousand times better than he is now. Without saying anything, his status and status would be improved by one time.


    "I just came here to ..."


    From the moment Gu Mohan entered the door, he had always had a cold face, and his brows were tightly knitted. He searched the apartment for the figure of Ye Zhiqiao.


    "Mr. Gu, don''t stand there, come and take a seat please! Have some tea. "


    Ye Guojun also invited Gu Mohan with a smile.


    "How many people live in your house, please?"


    As soon as Mohan sat down, he headed straight to the main issue and began to question Ye Guojun.


    "Ah? I ... My wife and I are the only ones in my family, and my little girl Yiyu and her husband will visit us often. Why did Mr. Gu suddenly ask this question?"


    Ye Guojun asked with a lot of questions. At one time, he could not figure out the reason, but he answered truthfully.


    "I thought I heard someone say earlier that you still have a girl, Ye Zhiqiao, who recently returned to the country. Has she moved in with you?"


    Gu Mohan continued to ask; Ye Guojun was getting more and more muddled. He couldn''t figure out why he was suddenly concerned about Ye Zhiqiao. Zhuang Minjia, who was sitting at the side, jumped in fright. The cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.


    "Mrs. Ye, what''s wrong with you? You don''t look very well. "


    Gu Mohan caught sight of Zhuang Minjia''s mistake.


    ''Well! Mr. Gu! I''m old enough to be like this. What did you say about Ye Zhiqiao, is she back? We didn''t let her come back, and it''s never been easy for her since she was a child. Did Ye Zhiqiao get in your way or something? Why did you suddenly ask her?"


    Zhuang Minjia immediately put the cup on the table and began to change the subject.


    "Oh! I''m going to leave before I have anything else to do, so I won''t beat you up. "


    After taking a look at Mohan''s fake outfit, he stood up and left.


    "Good, good, good! Mr. Gu, take your time. I''ll treat you well next time!"


    Ye Guojun smiled, but still did not know what had happened. Seeing that Gu Mohan did not have the intention to continue sitting down, he had to send him out of the door.


    At the side, Zhuang Minjia secretly took out his mobile phone and sent a text message.


    "Hey! You find out who was on the set the day Ye Zhiqiao was born, and where Zhuang Minjia and YeYe Yiyu were and what they did that day?"


    "Well! I''ll give it to you in a minute!"


    Gu Mohan sat in the car; his hands were gripping in the direction, his eyes were murderous.


    "If you dare to touch her, I will not let you go!"


    Bai Zixuan, on the other side, was surprised to hear the conversation between YeYe Yiyu and Zhuang Minjia. He grabbed YeYe Yiyu''s hands and stared into YeYe Yiyu''s eyes.


    "What? Yiyu, what the hell did you do to me?"


    "Humph! Don''t worry, Ye Zhiqiao. If she comes back, I''ll make her regret it!"


    YeYe Yiyu pushed Bai Zixuan''s hands away and held them proudly in his chest. However, she felt that Bai Zixuan was a bit out of line and looked at Bai Zixuan warily.


    "What? You started to pity her? Have you begun to regret it?"


    "Yiyu, what are you saying? What have I done to you over the years, don''t you know?"


    Bai Zixuan touched the leaf''s tongue and said in an indulgent tone.


    "It''s just that you shouldn''t be too harsh on me. I can''t believe ..."


    "Leave it alone!"


    YeYe Yiyu left a little angry.


    Bai Zixuan remembered that she had already agreed to cooperate with Ye Zhiqiao and that Ye Zhiqiao was now very cold about her own situation. Bai Zixuan thought about it and saw YeYe Yiyu''s hand on the table, and the corner of his mouth curved into a charming smile.


    He unlocked the lock with familiarity, opened the text message, and found the place where Ye Zhiqiao was.


    And Gu Mohan on the other side.


    "Mr. Gu! I''ve already found out that on the day of Ms. Ye''s accident, the responsibility was entirely a different kind of car. It was just a gentle touch, and Zhuang Minjia was there! It was just a car on the surface that day, and it was really a changing frame!"


    "Have you found out where Ye Zhiqiao is now? Is there any injury? Is the injury serious?"


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Gu, I''ve got the physical location of Ms. Ye, and as far as I know, Ms. Ye isn''t that big!"


    "Tell me where Mi. Call the police as soon as you get there!"


    "Mr. Gu! Don''t take any chances, the other party seems to have a lot of manpower!"


    "What a bum! Send it to me quickly!"


    "Yes ..."

 Chapter 15 No One Will Hurt You with Me around

    "Water... Water ..."


    Ye Zhiqiao felt that she had been in a coma for ages. Her lips were pursed, and she instinctively asked for Water.


    "Go and get her some water, all of you. If anything wrong happens to her, none of us will live well. "


    A rough and familiar voice shouted.


    "Boss, who the hell is she? Even if she couldn''t move, you still need to take care of her like this! "


    Another voice came, and Ye Zhiqiao felt her lips touch the warm Water again as if the long dry land had finally fallen into a spring rain.


    "What the hell, they let us take care of it, we just take care of it, we do our job and we don''t talk much!"


    "Wait a minute! Did you hear anything? "


    "Take out your men and get ready. Who dares to come here without fear of death? "


    Ye Zhiqiao finally opened her eyes. It was a small, messy room with only a small window and a few empty bottles on the floor. There were only two large and sturdy men left in the room.


    Ye Zhiqiao knew she was in danger when she woke up, so she went on pretending to be unconscious.


    "Boom! "A voice fell to the ground.


    Ye Zhiqiao was frightened and opened her eyes. She saw that Gu Mohan had knocked down one of them with one punch and sent another flying. Gu Mohan knew that he was not as strong as him, but Mohan was very active. He picked up a bottle of wine and pulled it up again.


    "Come! You''re okay, I''ll take you home! "


    Gu Mohan walked straight to Ye Zhiqiao and said gently, wanting to pick up Ye Zhiqiao.


    Between the lights and the flint, Ye Zhiqiao saw another dagger rushing towards Mohan. She couldn'' t help but shout," Be careful! "


    "Ah! "


    Seeing that Gu Mohan was holding her tightly and stabbed the dagger directly into Gu Mohan''s back, Ye Zhiqiao was trembling all over.


    "Hey! Don''t worry, you''ll be fine with me. "


    Gu Mohan was stabbed, but still comforted Ye Zhiqiao, and then he used all his strength to hit himself with the thorn and then stopped there, without paying attention to his own wound, took Ye Zhiqiao and walked out.


    The outside was in a mess. The shouting and screaming were all jumbled up. Ye Zhiqiao buried her face in Gu Mohan''s chest, trembling all the time.


    "What happened? Gu Mohan? Why is he here? "


    When Bai Zixuan, who knew Ye Zhiqiao''s address, sneaked over, he happened to see Gu Mohan walk out with Ye Zhiqiao in his arms. He felt so strange that he knew he couldn''t let Gu Mohan see him, so he had to slip away.


    " Di Wu Di Wu Di Wu Di Wu..."


    "The police are coming, the police are coming!!"


    Those who had been lying on the ground groaning in a mess just now heard the rustle and got up and ran away, leaving only Gu Mohan and Ye Zhiqiao.


    Ye Zhiqiao only felt that Gu Mohan, who had been holding her, became weaker and weaker.


    "Gu Mohan! Are you okay? Are you shaking? You gotta put me down! "


    Ye Zhiqiao covered Gu Mohan''s wounds with her hands. A pungent smell of blood spread to Ye Zhiqiao''s nose, and his hands felt sticky. Ye Zhiqiao was scared and shouted with all her might.


    "Is there anyone there? Someone''s hurt here! "


    The police got there as soon as they heard it.


    On the other side, as he was about to leave the case, Ye Yiyu caught him.


    "You said? What the hell is going on? Why is it out there? "


    She asked Bai Zixuan angrily.


    "Don''t you know why I am? What did she do to you? You''re gonna treat her like that? "


    Bai Zixuan thought of Gu Mohan holding Ye Zhiqiao''s face just now, and Bai Zixuan, who had been angry, heard Ye Yiyu say that about him again. Now he couldn''t help but want to get the anger out of the camp.


    "You ... Bai Zixuan! "


    "You what? I told you! I''ve put up with you for a long time! So after all these years of being right with Ye Zhiqiao, I don''t understand you? What the hell did she do to you? Now, she was actually kidnapped! You know that''s illegal? "


    "Bai Zixuan! You crossed the line! Ye Yiyu has been all for you for so many years! "


    "For me? Hmph! I think it''s all about you and your mom! "


    "Bang!" Bai Zixuan slams the door and leaves Ye Yiyu, who is in a bad mood, alone in the room.


    At this time in the VIP ward of the largest hospital in the province.


    "The patient has lost too much blood. Your family should take care of him. If anything happens, inform us immediately or press the button. "


    "Well! I see. Thank you! "


    Lying unconscious on the bed, Gu Mohan''s face was pale, and his lips were tightly pursed, still unable to hide his anger.


    For some unknown reasons, Ye Zhiqiao''s mind kept replaying the scene. He saved her life like a god, and the deer in her heart kept jumping.


    "Zhiqiao! Are you okay? You''re scaring me! "Jian Mengqi pushed open the door and kept mumbling until she saw Ye Zhiqiao, who was fine, and her heart relaxed.


    "Fool! I''m fine now! Yes, what can I do for you? "


    "You don''t know, you''re scaring me to death! Yes, are you okay? Are you hurt? Come on let me see! "


    While speaking, Jian Mengqi pulled Ye Zhiqiao and looked at it carefully. After reading it once, she finally felt relieved when she realized that there was no wound.


    Ye Zhiqiao turned over and looked worriedly at Gu Mohan, who was lying on the bed.


    He, on the other hand, had been stabbed in the back and had lost a lot of blood. He had been unconscious until now, but the doctor had said that he was out of danger, but he had lost too much blood. Hey! "


    "Don''t worry! She should take care of Mohan''s safety! "


    Jian Mengqi had been holding Ye Zhiqiao''s hand tightly, afraid that Ye Zhiqiao would disappear again.


    "How do you feel? Do you want to go to sleep for a while? You have had so much trouble recently. You can''t have any trouble! I didn''t ask you to come back from out of the country to do this! "


    "Don''t worry! I''m fine! I really can''t sleep right now. I''m more worried about Gu Mohan. You mean, is he really going to be okay? Ye Zhiqiao''s voice suddenly sank, and her eyes were full of worry.


    Suddenly, she noticed Mohan''s long eyelashes just moved a little bit.

 Chapter 16 You Will One Day Be My Mother

    When Mohan woke up, he realized that the first person he saw was Ye Zhiqiao. His heartfelt a little warm. The first thing he said was that he was concerned about Ye Zhiqiao.


    "Are you all right? Are you hurt? "


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine! How silly of you! How careless! Ye Zhiqiao''s heart moved, and the feeling flowed slowly like a babbling brook.


    After hearing that Ye Zhiqiao had said that everything was fine, Gu Mohan slept again. Seeing that Mohan had woken up and fallen asleep, Ye Zhiqiao also breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Well, Zhiqiao, Mr. Gu is all right. Look at your dark circles, you are about to become a panda, so go to sleep!"


    Jian Mengqi looked at Ye Zhiqiao with heartache.


    "Well, I''ll listen to you! "


    "Good! "


    Jian Mengqi gave Ye Zhiqiao a kiss! Ye Zhiqiao''s helpless hair went to the next room.


    Jian Mengqi looked at Mohan quietly. Thinking of the way Ye Zhiqiao looked at Mohan just now, she felt that if they were together, Ye Zhiqiao would have found a good night''s sleep. But Gu Mohan was too cold. Would Zhiqiao be wronged?


    Early the next morning, Ye Zhiqiao heard an adorable voice and felt a bunch of unidentified objects rubbing against her bed. Before he could open his eyes, Ye Zhiqiao laughed.


    "Xiao Bao! What are you doing here? Aiya! You crawled into my aunt''s bed! Aren''t you afraid of falling? "Aunt! Are you okay? I haven''t seen you in a long time! "The little girl pouted and looked at Ye Zhiqiao worriedly. Ye Zhiqiao lovingly picked up Xiao Bao, who was full of milk.


    "Yes, aunt! Auntie will be fine. You can rest assured! Has Xiao Bao been eating and sleeping lately? Xiao Bao suddenly looked down and said sadly," auntie, you don''t want me anymore. I miss you too much. I can''t eat! "


    When Ye Zhiqiao saw Xiao Bao, who was about to melt, he couldn''t help but give Xiao Bao a kiss. "Good, good, good! Will auntie accompany you every day after this? "


    "Well! Okay! Okay! I like aunts the most! "


    Ye Zhiqiao walked to Gu Mohan''s room, holding Xiao Bao in her arms. Gu Mohan was awake, and Qin Baiye was sitting by the bed. The two seemed to be discussing something. They stopped when they saw Ye Zhiqiao coming.


    "Zhiqiao, do you know what happened to you? Do you know who the hell the guy was? "Asked Gu Mohan, who was still on the bed.


    "Ah? Kidnapping? I don''t know. I vaguely heard what they said, but I haven''t heard clearly." Ye Zhiqiao was still shivering at the thought of yesterday.


    "Zhiqiao, I''m telling you, you have to be careful ..."


    "Xiao Bao! Hungry? I bought you something delicious. Get your aunt Zhiqiao to take you to eat something delicious! Jian Mengqi suddenly cut them off.


    "Yes! Auntie! Auntie! I want it! The little girl''s eyes lit up when she heard something delicious.


    "Good, good, good! Auntie will take you to eat! "Ye Zhiqiao looked at Xiao Bao affectionately, then turned to Gu Mohan and said," My little girl is hungry. I''ll take her to eat something. We''ll talk later, and you shall rest!" Then she went out of the room.


    Jian Mengqi was inexplicably sweet to see such a scene, and felt that her guess was definitely right!


    Seeing that Ye Zhiqiao had really walked out with Xiao Bao in her arms, Mohan raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion," why didn''t I tell Zhiqiao the truth? "


    "Zhiqiao came back from the country without any trouble. Recently, so many things have happened. Tell her that someone deliberately put her in a fight, and she will be very upset! I really can''t bear to see Zhiqiao sad again! So I''m asking you not to tell Zhi Qiao the truth, okay? Jian Mengqi, at this time, felt more real than ever before.


    Gu Mohan thought of the smile that Ye Zhiqiao had just held his little treasure in his arms. It was so beautiful that Ye Zhiqiao should be quietly protected, not again and again. He answered.


    "Have you eaten? Are you gonna eat too much? Ye Zhiqiao touched little treasure''s stomach and pinched little treasure''s little face.


    "Yes, aunt, have you eaten? "The little girl, with a look of enjoyment and contentment, danced and did not forget to ask if Zhiqiao had eaten.


    Ye Zhiqiao listened very well and always felt that he had something to do with Xiao Bao ...


    "Aunt? Aunt? What are you thinking? "The little girl shook her little white hand in front of Ye Zhiqiao.


    "My aunt is thinking about Xiao Bao how much you love and understand! Ye Zhiqiao picked up Xiao Bao in front of her, still as small as ever, as a little bundle of flesh.


    "Shall we go and see daddy? "


    "Well! Auntie secretly told you a secret! Dad said that he would one day let aunt be my mother oh!" The little treasure''s spirit moved strangely close to Ye Zhiqiao''s ear and told Ye Zhiqiao in a small voice. Ye Zhiqiao was first surprised and stood rooted to the ground. She then thought about the things that Mohan had done to save her yesterday and then thought about it. How could Mr. Gu have fallen for her?


    "Well, well, well! We''re going to see Dad!" Ye Zhiqiao turned his head in amusement and threw away all the thoughts in her head.

 Chapter 17 My Intuition I Havent Missed

    As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Gu Mohan leaning against the pillow, looking out of the window as if he was thinking of something. The bridge of his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were tightly pressed together. The jawline is smooth, and the whole body exudes the aura of not being approached. Abstinence is deadly.


    "Dad, why are you in a daze?" The little girl jumped down from Ye Zhiqiao''s scowl, her two little white legs, and she ran very fast, and looked very wobbly, and ran straight to Gu Mohan''s bed.


    "Xiao Bao, do you miss your daddy? Did you have dinner?" At the sight of Xiao Bao, Gu Mohan drew back his cold body as if he were returning to the warm Gu Mohan.


    "Dad, why aren''t you home yet? Were you sick? "Asked the little girl worriedly, and her eyes were full of worry.


    "Xiao Bao, because daddy needs some time off now! Look how busy your father is every day. He hasn''t had a good rest. "Well, Ye Zhiqiao came out in time to explain.


    "Well! Dad, you have worked hard, so I won''t make you angry anymore. I will let you play at home every day when I grow up. I go to work every day to help you! Dad, what do you say?" Xiao Bao took care of Mohan''s arm and kept saying all kinds of" love words" to Mohan.


    "Good, good, good! My Xiao Bao is the best!" Gu Mohan gave a rare smile.


    A week later.


    "The patient is no longer in serious trouble, but you should pay attention to rest and eating habits after returning."


    "Well! I see. I''ll take care of him. Thank you! "


    ''Well! Zhi Qiao, you said you had so much work to do, and you had to come and take care of Mohan! I''m telling you, I''m gonna get jealous!" Jian Mengqi felt her conjecture getting closer and closer, and began to tease Ye Zhiqiao incessantly.


    ''Well! Mengqi, what are you talking about, Gu Mohan? He was hurt because he saved me. If it weren''t for him, I''d be the one lying in bed right now! Do I have a problem with being nice to him? "


    "Cut! Just pretend you''re, you''re being nice to him? You''ve been giving him dinners, dinners, taking care of Xiao Bao, talking to him all day for the last few days, and you''re calling him nice, and what''s his name?" Jian Mengqi could not help but expose Ye Zhiqiao.


    "I ..." Ye Zhiqiao said, feeling a little empty and his heart racing!


    "Good, good, good! I was thinking too much. Okay! When you''re together, I''m going to mess with you!" Jian Mengqi felt that she had always been straight and that she must be right.


    She walked to Gu Mohan''s room and bumped into Gu Mohan the moment she opened the door.


    "What are you doing here? Didn''t I leave the hospital today?" Mohan had thought that Ye Zhiqiao would not come again today, but he did not expect to meet Ye Zhiqiao the moment he opened the door.


    Mohan lowered his head and looked at Ye Zhiqiao. The two of them looked into each other''s eyes. The distance between the two of them was only a few tens of millions of meters. After about ten seconds, Ye Zhiqiao felt her face roll and roll. Gu Mohan also had a sense of uneasiness, but Jian Mengqi watched with interest and did not say a word" together."


    "Uh ... Well, I ... Mengqi and I came to pick you up. You just recovered, so ... So ..." Ye Zhiqiao felt a little helpless and lowered her head. Ye Zhiqiao had not been like this for a long time.


    ''Well! I''ll talk! We just didn''t trust you, that''s why we''re here. Jian Mengqi smiled wickedly and winked at Gu Mohan''s brow.


    Ye Zhiqiao held on to Jian Mengqi.


    "Well! My company has some business to attend to, so I have to go to the company first, so I can''t go back now, sorry to let you go for Nothing! "It was awkward at first, but Gu Mohan soon recovered his usual indifference.


    "What? Gu Mohan! You just got out of the hospital, the doctor said, you need a good rest, how can just heal and go to the company? Is work important or is it physical? "Ye Zhiqiao began to get impatient, inexplicably, even with a hint of anger in his voice.


    Gu Mohan and Jian Mengqi were frightened by Ye Zhiqiao''s anger. Ye Zhiqiao didn''t seem to notice anything wrong and continued to intervene with Mohan." You should think more about your health. She needs you to take care of her. "


    "Zhiqiao, I know, but there''s something really important I need to take care of at the company right now. I''ve been lying in the hospital for a week now. Don''t worry, I''ll be fine. I''ll answer you. I''ll go back to sleep as soon as I''m done." Gu Mohan looked away and thought he really looked into Ye Zhiqiao''s big, beautiful eyes.


    "Oh! Please stop showing off your relationship! Anyway, I ate, really you two! Let''s go to the company together. What a big deal! I can''t even watch it! "Jian Mengqi, who was watching the play, could not stand it any longer.


    "Well, then! I''ll take care of things at the office. Can you take care of Xiao Bao?" Gu Mohan could not help but speak aloud, coaxing leaf twigs as little children.


    Ye Zhiqiao''s little face crept up to her, and she answered in a low voice.

 Chapter 18 Finally Waiting for This Day

    Ya family.


    Ye Guojun looked at the newspaper on the table and was lost in thought. The" Mengxing" in the newspaper occupied the headline of it, along with Ye Zhiqiao, wearing a long black dress and a long, soft, elegant smile in front of the camera.


    "Why are you staring at the newspaper?" Zhuang Minjia, seeing that Ye Guojun had been so immobile, could not help but go forward and ask, and pick up the newspaper on the table.


    "Humph! This guy''s got a real knack for hooking up with Mohan! What'' Mengxing''? See how long she can hold on. She''s Nothing without Gu Mohan!" When Zhuang Minjia saw Ye Zhiqiao in the newspaper, she thought of what had happened in the last few days and was not angry at all.


    "Look at what you said! Ye Zhiqiao is my flesh and blood, and left her alone out of the country for so many years! Now that she''s finally made a name for herself, why are you still talking about her like that?" Ye Guojun thought of the day when he could not help but give Ye Zhiqiao a slap and felt a little remorseful.


    "Ye Guojun! What the hell do you mean? What are you talking about today?" Zhuang Minjia, who was already in a bad mood, could not help but get angry when Ye Guojun suddenly said this to her.


    "Minjia, what''s wrong with you? I''m talking to you now!" Seeing that Zhuang Minjia was on fire, Ye Guojun calmed down slowly.


    ''What are we talking about? What does she have to discuss!"


    "You see, Zhiqiao is quite famous now, and she has been out of the country for so long. She doesn''t know anyone in the country now, so I thought, why don''t you bring her back to live with us? We''ve known each other since Yiyu got married, but she always comes home to stay with us, but somehow she feels that something is missing. "


    "No! No! I will not agree! She''s back. What about You? What about me? Zhuang Minjia heard it with a look of disapproval.


    "Minjia, listen to me! Zhiqiao, she''s in a different position now, she''s got the Mengxing and Gu Mohan, and I heard that Bai Zixuan wanted to work with her, and trust me, bringing her back is absolutely no harm for us! And now, if the company has Mohan''s help, our company will be in the top five this year, there will be no pressure at all." Ye Guojun spoke in a torrent and looked at Zhuang Minjia, who was thinking.


    "No way! When she comes back, who would take the Ya family company? "Although Ye Guojun''s words are very reasonable, Zhuang Minjia cares most about this, and said sternly," Don''t think I don''t know what you think. "


    Ye Guojun was stunned at first, but he said helplessly," Don''t worry! My company''s going to be owned by Yiyu. Hearing this, Zhuang Minjia relaxed and smiled with satisfaction.


    Ye Guojun had mixed feelings in his heart and didn''t know what to say for a while.


    After Zhuang Minjia had got his promise, she went upstairs contentedly without paying attention to Ye Guojun, whose expression was not good.


    He took out his phone and called Ye Yiyu. His deep voice was not warm and gentle.


    "Hey! Yiyu! Busy? Are you free to come back for dinner tonight? "


    "Dad? I told you so! I''m busy! No! There are so many things waiting for me in the company, you always let me go back to dinner, it''s too troublesome!" Ye Yiyu had been quarreling with Bai Zixuan these days, and was still angry, and had seen Ye Guojun calling again, which was very tiresome. After that, she hung up the phone regardless of Ye Guojun''s feelings.


    "Well!" Ye Guojun took a heavy breath and went to the library, where the housekeeper came.


    "Mr. Ye! I have found the number and address of the Ms. Ye Zhiqiao you asked me to check. She is currently living in the villa opposite Gu Mohan. It seems that she has a special relationship with him. "


    "Well! I see. "Ye Guojun did not respond much, but picked up the phone and looked at the number the housekeeper had given him.


    "Dududu~ "


    "Wait a minute! Auntie''s on the phone. I''ll play with you later, huh? Whose number is this? Ye Zhiqiao looked at the strange number and felt as if he had seen it somewhere.


    "Hello? Who are you, please? "


    "Is it Zhiqiao? "The voice was a little loud.


    But when Ye Zhiqiao heard the voice, she sat on the sofa with her legs in her hands. She had been looking forward to it over and over again for so many years. She was so disappointed and alone outside the country that she wished that one day the voice would come out and take her home, but Ye Zhiqiao did not.


    "Aunt! Auntie! Are you okay? Are you sick? Xiao Bao, on the side, saw Ye Zhiqiao was wrong and ran to Ye Zhiqiao with little steps, climbed up on the couch, and put her little hands like adults on Ye Zhiqiao''s head.


    "Ah! I''m fine! I''m fine! Honey, slow down, sit down, don''t fall!" Ye Zhiqiao felt Xiaobao''s fleshy palms eased.


    "Zhiqiao? Still listening?" The phone seemed to have been ringing for a long time, but Ye Zhiqiao never heard it.


    "I''m all right. May I ask what you want?" Ye Zhiqiao listened to the voice on the phone and calmed down the surging emotions in her heart.


    "Zhiqiao, it''s like that. I want to see you, okay? I want to talk to you about something. "Said Ye Guojun, a little pleading.


    "What must be said in person? We can talk about it on the phone, just talk about it on the phone!" Ye Zhiqiao was a little surprised and even a little pleased, but when she thought about the last time Ye Guojun had seen her, Ye Zhiqiao gave her a slap without care.


    "Zhiqiao! I know you hate me! But after all those years, I think I''m wrong. Let''s meet and have a talk, okay? "


    "Ugh ..." Ye Zhiqiao could not say anything else. It was so sweet that it fell onto Xiao Bao''s delicate hands like a huge drop of the yellow bean.


    "Aunt! What''s the matter? Don''t cry! Did someone bully you? Don''t cry, it won''t look good when you cry! "The little girl''s hands were so busy that she could wipe Ye Zhiqiao''s eyes.


    "Zhiqiao, it''s eight o ''clock tonight. I''ll be waiting for you at the coffee shop downtown. I''ll be waiting for you all the time! "


    Ye Zhiqiao, who had put down the phone, could no longer control her emotions. One hand covered her mouth while the other held Xiao Bao, who was sensible, and she couldn''t stop crying.

 Chapter 19 You Havent Even Looked at Me in Five Years

    But ever since the phone call, after Ye Zhiqiao settled down with Xiaobao, he began to wonder whether to meet Ye Guojun, even if he had already taken a taxi.


    She gritted her teeth.


    "Let''s go! "No matter what, Ye Guojun was her father, and Ye Zhiqiao had always longed for his love!


    Ye Zhiqiao wore a white knee-length skirt, revealing her fair and sexy legs, and a black waistband, perfectly showing Ye Zhiqiao''s little waist. Her chest was covered with a beautiful rose, paired with a pair of high heels, a small bag in her hand, and she put it on her body. She made a light makeup and gave her a fresh and mature feeling.


    After getting out of the car, Ye Zhiqiao was walking on the road. No matter how old or young the passers-by were, they couldn''t help but turn around and look at her cheerfully.


    It was just eight o ''clock when Ye Zhiqiao stepped into the coffee bar.


    "Hello! Ms. Ye, please! This way, please!" The sharp-eyed clerk recognized Ye Zhiqiao at once, reached out his hand and smiled, and took Ye Zhiqiao to Ye Guojun.


    "Zhiqiao! I knew you''d come! Come on! Sit down." Ye Guojun, who saw Ye Zhiqiao, was so busy that Ye Zhiqiao sat down, that he said apologetically to Ye Zhiqiao," Zhiqiao, I don''t know what you would like to drink so I don''t have anything for you. You can order whatever you want. "


    "No, I don''t want anything to drink! Ye Zhiqiao sat in his chair, his head lowered, and he played with the bag in his hand. Ye Guojun heard this and felt a little awkward.


    "Speak! What the hell is going on?! I have other things to do. Ye Zhiqiao could not help but break the awkward air, but at last, Ye Zhiqiao did not look up at Ye Guojun.


    "Yes ... Yes, I have discussed it with your aunt Minjia and decided to let you move back home. You have been out for so long, so you should come home now! "


    "Move home? Who pointed at my nose five years ago and told me that there was no such thing as Ye Zhiqiao in the Ye family after that? Who threw me out of the country like a piece of garbage and didn''t even look at me for five years! Do you know what I''ve been through outside for the last five years? Now tell me to go home! Hmph! What a joke! "Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiao raised her head abruptly and stared into Ye Guojun''s eyes, saying angrily.


    "Zhiqiao! Do you hear me? Five years ago, it was my fault! I didn''t figure it out. It''s all about you and your daughter! But that was all my rage! I know I was wrong! Just be the original father! Seeing the angry Ye Zhiqiao, Ye Guojun suddenly thought of the scene where he had angrily sent Ye Zhiqiao out of the house five years ago and vowed to cut off the relationship between father and daughter with Ye Zhiqiao.


    "One hour? One of your angry words is to throw me out of the country for five years! You''ve been angry for five years and you haven''t even looked at me? You know, one minute you''re angry and you realize I''m back and you slap me? It''s not a short time for you to be angry! "Ye Zhiqiao clasped her teeth, trembling all over, and cried out with all her might!


    "Zhiqiao! I sent you out of the country five years ago for your sake! If you take it in China, will Zhuang Minjia and Ye Yiyu let you go?"


    "Is your father useless at all? "The more Ye Zhiqiao spoke, the angrier she became, and the more she spoke, the more agitated she became!


    "Zhiqiao! Don''t get excited! I really know I was wrong! For so many years, I have been thinking of you! I ..."


    "Enough! Stop talking! I can''t hear you anymore, I''m sorry, I have to go! Ye Zhiqiao got up and ran out.


    "Zhiqiao! Zhiqiao, listen to me! I''ve packed your room!" Ye Zhiqiao did not look back at Ye Guojun, no matter what he called in the rear.


    "Hump, hump, hump, hump, hump, hump, hump!" Zhiqiao finally stopped running. Ye Zhiqiao didn''t know how long she had been running, how far she had run. She stopped and took a deep breath of air, squatted on the ground, hugged her head, and couldn''t help but cry!


    "Du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du What? "


    "What''s wrong with your voice? Did you cry?" Gu Mohan heard at once that Ye Zhiqiao''s voice was not quite right.


    "No! I''m fine." Ye Zhiqiao raised her head, afraid that her tears would come out, and she could not help crying again!


    "That''s good. I wanted to tell you that I'' m busy at work today and I might not be able to go back, so I'' d like to ask you to let Xiao Bao sleep with you tonight. Is it convenient for you? "


    Gu Mohan wanted to say something, but when he thought about his relationship with Ye Zhiqiao, he held back his concerns. On the one hand, he secretly decided to make his relationship legal ...


    "Nothing! You''re busy! Leave it to me, baby! Don''t worry! "


    "Well, thank you. "


    After Mohan hung up the phone, Ye Zhiqiao wiped away the warm water. Earlier on, it seemed that Nothing had happened. She stood up and tidied up her clothes and hair before returning home.


    Gu Mohan on the other side.


    "Mr. Gu, the company is almost done. You should go back to rest after you have recovered from your illness. "


    "No, what do you want to do? I want to stay and take care of some personal matters. You go out first." Gu Mohan had a look on his face and realized that the company was done, but he was still staring at the computer screen and thinking about something.


    "Well, I see." The secretary was left in confusion.


    Gu Mohan was watching Ye Zhiqiao''s car accident that day, and the police arrested several gangsters'' statements because there was no catch of their head, the gangsters did not know much, they just took money to do things! It seemed that Zhuang Minjia''s thoughts were not as deep as usual! But Gu Mohan found a loophole!

 Chapter 20 One Day You Will Leave Me

    The next day, Ye Zhiqiao put Xiao Bao, who was sleeping soundly aside and went out again. "Take care of the housekeeper! I have something to do first before going out! "


    "Well! I see, you go ahead! "


    Ye Zhiqiao got in the car and rubbed her eyes. Ye Zhiqiao had been up for a few days and nights, and all she could think about was what happened last night. After thinking about it all night yesterday, she decided to go back to the Ye family and see if it was her father.


    Ye family.


    Ding-dong! "


    "Ms. Ye Zhiqiao? You''re back? Mr. Ye last night ..." The housekeeper didn''t believe her eyes when she saw Ye Zhiqiao at the door.


    "Well, I came back to see the house." Ye Zhiqiao''s head was pale, and there was not much joy in her delicate little face.


    "Ah?" The housekeeper was rendered speechless by Ye Zhiqiao''s words, and Ye Zhiqiao went straight in without bothering her.


    "Why are you here? Zhuang Minjia saw Ye Zhiqiao come in early in the morning, and she was frightened.


    "I heard you wanted me to come back?" Ye Zhiqiao looked at her and answered no questions.


    Seeing that Zhuang Minjia had not spoken a word, Ye Zhiqiao walked to the second floor, feeling familiar and unfamiliar. She opened the door and found that many things had changed. However, she still had the feeling of the past. Her favorite cloth doll was still on the table when she was young, but it had faded and was a little rusty.


    "Zhiqiao? Is that really you? Are you going back home?" Ye Guojun, who came with a message, was surprised to see Ye Zhiqiao standing in her room.


    "I ... I just came to see if there was any change in my room. Nothing else! I can come back to live, but that doesn''t mean I''m not you anymore. "


    "Well! If only you''d come back and stay! What else do you want? I''ll have the housekeeper buy it for you, and maybe a big room for you!" Ye Guojun was suddenly aroused, and last night''s cold heart seemed to kindle a little hope.


    "No, I like it! "


    "Zhiqiao, come and stay! Yes! We''ve been waiting for a long time! Zhuang Minjia came up from below, too, and entered Ye Zhiqiao''s room with a smile.


    Seeing Zhuang Minjia''s face, Ye Zhiqiao couldn''t help but look away.


    "Minjia, go prepare some delicious food for Zhiqiao! Ye Guojun saw the mistake and found an excuse for Zhuang Minjia to go out, leaving him and Ye Zhiqiao.


    "Zhiqiao, where do you work now?" Ye Guojun cut right into the matter.


    "I work with Mengqi. We set up a small company to make our own brand." Ye Zhiqiao had long guessed that Ye Guojun must have had a purpose in bringing her back.


    "Is there any intention of cooperating? It is difficult for a small company to develop. "


    "This one? I haven''t thought about it yet." Ye Zhiqiao played with her old doll in her hand and had a plan in her mind to conceal the fact that she was going to work with Bai Zixuan.


    "How about this? I think you are quite suitable for the lack of a director in the company recently." Ye Guojun finally got the answer.


    "That''s not good, is it? I don''t have any experience, I''m afraid I can''t do it. If you don''t manage the company well, you''ll be in trouble! Why don''t you find someone else?" Ye Zhiqiao wasn''t a bit interested in Ya family''s company," and I''m busy, and I might not be able to manage it! "


    "You'' re actually the same ..."


    "Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot!"


    "I''m sorry I have to answer the phone! Ye Zhiqiao heard her click, and her hands were busy with the handheld, for she knew that it was time to call, or that Jian Mengqi was in trouble, or that Xiao Bao was in trouble!


    "Hello? What? "


    "Ms. Ye? Where have you been? Come back here! Xiao Bao suddenly fell ill and couldn''t eat anything. Her whole body was burning up. I''ve been trying to find you. Come back soon!" The housekeeper''s anxious voice came as soon as the call was connected.


    "Good, good, good! I''ll be right back. Don''t worry. Are there any pills at home? Try physical warming!" Ye Zhiqiao heard that Xiao Bao was in trouble and hung up the phone, trying to calm herself down.


    "I''m sorry, but I have some urgent business to attend to now, so I''ll go first! "


    "What is it? What happened? We''re not done yet!" Ye Guojun followed suit.


    "Another day! I really have an emergency right now!" Said Ye Zhiqiao, trotting out.


    "Come again at night! Your aunt made delicious food. You must come back for dinner tonight! "Cried Ye Guojun when he saw Ye Zhiqiao in a hurry.


    "Look at the situation! We''ll talk about it then! "


    Ye Zhiqiao felt particularly worried about Xiao Bao, fearing that something might have happened to her, but she and Mohan would one day leave her, which was why she suddenly wanted to move back to the Ye family.


    She could not rely too much on Xiao Bao and Gu Mohan, she wanted to get used to life without Xiao Bao and Gu Mohan.

 Chapter 21 I Dont Want Anything to Happen to You

    "How''s little treasure?" As soon as ye zhiqiao entered the door, she couldn''t help but ask the housekeeper about little treasure.


    "Miss, she took the medicine but it still didn''t work. Something was wrong from the moment she got up in the morning. Her whole body was hot and she was lying on the bed now."


    Ye zhiqiao almost ran to xiao bao''s room and touched his forehead. It was so hot that ye zhiqiao was scared.


    "That won''t do! Why is the fever so bad?" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of clothing by the bed, took little treasure out of the quilt trembling, and wrapped it in his clothes. "Let''s go! Auntie will take you to the hospital! Don''t be afraid, little treasure! With auntie around, you won''t be in trouble again!"


    "Auntie... You... You''re back!" Little treasure opened his eyes in a daze and smiled when he saw ye zhiqiao.


    "Miss ye, the car is ready, and gu shao is on his way back!"


    "Okay! Leave the rest to me!" Ye zhiqiao carried the poor little treasure into the car and wrapped it tightly, afraid that something would happen to little treasure. Along the way, he stroked little treasure''s forehead and didn''t even notice that his forehead was covered in sweat. Ye zhiqiao wished she could fly to the hospital. If anything happened to little treasure, ye zhiqiao would never forgive herself.


    Gu group.


    Gu mohan thought of many ways to finally find the leader who kidnapped ye zhiqiao that day. From his mouth, he finally confirmed that the real kidnappers were ye yiyu and zhuang minjia. When he thought of them, one was ye zhiqiao''s stepmother and the other was her half-sister, he actually did the same thing. But after all, they were also family members. How could they be so cruel to ye zhiqiao?


    Gu mohan felt that although jian mengqi told herself not to let ye zhiqiao know, if she did not tell ye zhiqiao and let her guard against zhuang minjia and ye yiyu, then she would definitely encounter danger again! So gu mohan felt that he must find a chance to tell ye zhiqiao the truth, which would be good for her!


    The sudden phone call interrupted gu mohan''s thoughts.


    "Young master gu! It''s not good, miss. She suddenly fell ill. Her fever has not subsided. It''s no use taking medicine! Are you still busy? Come back quickly!"


    "What? What happened? How could this be? Where''s ye zhiqiao?" Gu mohan was sitting on a chair, but when he heard that something happened to little treasure, he immediately stood up excitedly.


    "Miss ye just came back from her trip. She''s going to the hospital now. Gu shao, go straight to the hospital and look for them!"


    "Okay! I''ll be right there!"


    In the hospital.


    When little treasure was sent to the emergency room, several doctors and nurses immediately examined him. Ye zhiqiao walked outside the door of the emergency room and looked into the emergency room from time to time. It was as if after a century, doctors and nurses finally pushed little treasure out of the emergency room. Little treasure had a drip on his hand and a fever patch on his forehead. Although he slept quietly, he looked very pitiful. It hurts.


    "Don''t worry! Your child is out of danger. Fortunately, it was delivered in time, otherwise it would be troublesome to burn his brain! In the future, as parents, you should be more concerned about your children. If you find anything wrong, send them to the hospital immediately. Don''t drag on. It''s easy to get into trouble!"


    "Thank you, doctor. I also want to ask why little treasure suddenly has a fever. It''s still so serious. Why can''t it go away? Is there any other reason?"


    "She''s not like everyone else, but you can rest assured that she''s fine. Just give her some warm water and some medicine."


    "That''s good. Thank you, doctor." Hearing this, ye zhiqiao heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.


    When she opened the ward and saw little treasure lying safely on the bed, ye zhiqiao smiled with relief. She felt that she really didn''t want to be separated from little treasure, just like little treasure was her own daughter. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want little treasure to be hurt, and ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but be frightened by this idea!


    "Is little treasure all right?" She raised her head and looked at herself with her deep eyes, which were filled with ice that never left.


    "It''s all right. The fever has gone down. The doctor said it''s not dangerous anymore. Don''t worry."


    Ye zhiqiao said lightly, not realizing that her voice was already a little hoarse.


    Thank you! Little treasure has troubled you these days!" Seeing that ye zhiqiao''s originally beautiful peach blossom eyes were a little swollen today, gu mohan thought it was too hard to take care of little treasure.


    "It''s okay, little treasure is very good and sensible!" Ye zhiqiao didn''t even dare to look into Mohan''s eyes now. She always felt that his eyes had some magic power that would attract her away.


    Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was a text message from ye guojun. "Zhiqiao, when will it arrive? The food will be ready soon!"


    "Ah! No, I forgot I have something else to do. Sorry! I''m going to be late, so I''ll leave first!" Seeing the text message, ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered this matter and looked up at the sky to find that it was getting late.


    "Why don''t I send you there? I''ll drive faster." Gu mohan was sorry to see ye zhiqiao''s nervous expression.


    "It''s okay. I''ll go there myself. You can stay and take care of little treasure!" Ye zhiqiao politely refused and left in a hurry.


    Looking at her back, gu mohan was still a little worried. He took out his cell phone and called Qin Baiye.


    "Hello? White night, what''s the matter now? Little treasure is sick and is in the hospital now. I have something else to do. Come and take care of her for me!"


    "Ok! Ok! Leave it to me! Recently, with ye zhiqiao, little treasure ignored me, and I miss her! What happened to little treasure? Are you okay?"


    "Nothing, just a fever!"


    "Okay! I''ll be right there!"


    Ye zhi happened to get out of the hospital, but just got in the car and found that the car ran out of gas! Ye zhiqiao said in silence, "What bad luck! Why are they all together?"


    "Drip drip~"


    "Get in the car quickly!" Gu mohan said to ye zhiqiao as he sat in the car with the lights flashing.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned for a few seconds. "You''re here. What about little treasure? No, no, go back!"


    "Don''t worry! I called Qin Baiye to take care of little treasure. He''s fine!" Hearing this, ye zhiqiao was willing to get in the car.

 Chapter 22 I Want to Go to Your House for Tea

    "By the way, you haven''t said anything about you. What are you going to do?" Gu mohan skillfully started the engine and asked ye zhiqiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat.


    "Let''s go to my house!"


    "Your home?" Gu mohan tilted his head and did not dare to believe his ears. Of course, he knew that ye zhiqiao was referring to the ye family, not the villa he rented for her. That was why he couldn''t believe it.


    "Er... It''s my father''s home, ye guojun! Not that villa!"


    "I know. I just don''t understand why you suddenly want to go back. Is little treasure too naughty? Or do you think the neighbor across from you is too annoying?" Gu mohan started the car and was about to leave. Then he suddenly stopped and approached ye zhiqiao.


    This action startled ye zhiqiao. For the first time, ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan so closely.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and looked at gu mohan who was so close to her with beautiful peach blossom eyes. She could clearly feel her heart beating faster. Her hands were not sure where to put them.


    "You didn''t fix your seat belt!" Gu mohan calmly helped ye zhiqiao put on her seat belt, then sat back in her seat and started the car.


    "Thank you." Ye zhiqiao blushed slightly and tried her best to recover her emotions. She told gu mohan everything exactly.


    Gu mohan''s deep eyes stared ahead, and he remembered the last time ye zhiqiao was kidnapped. When he first saw ye zhiqiao, she was as weak as a wounded little white rabbit lying on a shabby bed, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.


    "Also, my father came to see me recently. He told me that he and my stepmother wanted me to move back, and he apologized to me."


    Suddenly, gu mohan spat out something that even he himself did not expect.


    "Can I have dinner with you at the ye family?"


    "Ah? This... I... This is not good!"


    "I''ve been to the ye family once before, and I think the tea from the ye family is not bad. I want to drink it again." Gu mohan said this without any expression on his face.


    Ye zhiqiao thought that the reason was too bad... But why did gu mohan want to go to the ye family with her?


    Ye zhiqiao did not know that gu mohan was afraid that ye zhiqiao would be bullied to see zhuang minjia alone. Ever since the last kidnapping, gu mohan really did not want zhuang minjia to have any chance to hurt her! Gu mohan was lost in thought, completely unaware of the sudden stop of a car in front of him.


    "Ah! Car!" Ye zhiqiao saw a car suddenly stop in front of her. Thinking of the accident, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but jump.


    Gu mohan turned around at top speed, avoiding the car like a drift in a movie. Ye zhiqiao was so scared that she couldn''t speak for a moment.


    "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Looking at the pale ye zhiqiao, gu mohan hurriedly pulled over and looked at her worriedly.


    "I''m not... I''m fine! I was just scared." Ye zhiqiao gradually regained her senses, put down her hand and tidied up her clothes. Looking at gu mohan who was nervous about herself, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.


    "Let''s go, it''s late!" Ye zhi happened to look at the remaining time.


    "Okay! Tell me if you feel any discomfort!" Gu mohan saw that ye zhiqiao was fine, so he drove back to the ye family.


    "Hey! Is it zhiqiao? Why isn''t it here yet? Did something happen on the way? How long will it take to arrive? The food will be ready soon!"


    "It''s me! There was a bit of traffic, and I was delayed again! Sorry! I''m on my way now. I''ll be there soon!"


    "Okay! Okay! Aunt zhuang and I are waiting for you!"


    Hanging up the phone, ye zhi coincidentally looked out the window and sighed. Why couldn''t she have a real home? Although her father treated her like this, it wasn''t because she had a'' wake up'' now!


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Nothing..."


    ...


    "Miss! You''re finally here! Come on in! Second miss will be here soon! Ah! Young master gu is here too! That''s great. You guys go in. I''m going to tell the master and madam!" The butler ran in with an eager face.


    Just as they were about to enter, a voice interrupted them.


    "Butler! Butler! Where have you been? My mom called me and told me that she wanted ye zhiqiao to come back and stay. Is this real or fake? What''s going on?" Ye yiyu''s delicate voice came over!


    Then ye zhiqiao saw ye yiyu holding bai zixuan''s hand and strutting in. Unlike ye zhiqiao''s simple dress, ye yiyu was wearing a sexy black low-cut dress with a butterfly brooch on her chest.


    Ye yiyu, who saw ye zhiqiao and gu mohan, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and walked towards ye zhiqiao with bai zixuan on her arm.

 Chapter 23 Family?

    "Ouch! The famous'' wake up'' would really come here! Zixuan, I''m not dreaming!" Ye yiyu''s tone was full of sarcasm.


    Ye zhiqiao ignored the meaning of ye yi language and walked around ye yi language to the grand hall.


    "Ouch! Zhiqiao, you''re finally here. Auntie has already prepared delicious food for you! Young master gu is here too! It was hard on the road! Come in and sit down! When zhuang minjia heard the housekeeper say that ye zhiqiao and gu mohan had arrived, she hurried out of the room and greeted them with a smile.


    Zhuang minjia was almost in her fifties this year, but her face was almost wrinkle-free and she was wearing a yellow dress. Although time did not leave any traces on zhuang minjia''s face, it left some fat on zhuang minjia''s body. It was probably due to years of good upbringing that made zhuang minjia a little fat.


    Ye zhiqiao just smiled politely and didn''t say anything. When she walked in, gu mohan followed ye zhiqiao in without even looking at zhuang minjia, because gu mohan would only think of that car accident when he saw zhuang minjia.


    Seeing that they were all inside, zhuang minjia gave ye yiyu a look, hinting that ye yiyu should not speak nonsense.


    Ye yiyu was a little angry, holding bai zixuan''s arm in one hand and clenching his fist in the other. "Wait for me!" When bai zixuan saw ye zhiqiao just now, he remembered the scene when he was with ye zhiqiao in high school. Ye zhiqiao was so beautiful at the beginning, but there was a gu mohan standing beside her. What was their relationship? In this way, ye yiyu and bai zixuan also walked in.


    After entering, ye zhi coincidentally came to the dining table. The table was full of food that ordinary people rarely saw, sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, black chicken soup... As well as red wine and flowers, giving people a bright feeling, the air was filled with fragrance. However, there were a few dishes beside the table that were out of place, but these dishes were what ye zhiqiao was most interested in and missed.


    "Come on, come on! Zhiqiao, you and young master gu are sitting here. Your aunt zhuang made you your favorite braised eggplant and tomato scrambled eggs as a child!" When ye guojun saw gu mohan, his eyes were crooked and his heart was filled with joy!


    "Hmph! Only people like her like to eat these things! Mom! Where''s the bird''s nest you cooked for me?" Ye yiyu sat down alone, coquettish.


    Without waiting for ye zhiqiao to speak, "Yi yu, can''t you two sisters get along well? He had been at odds since he was a child! It''s so big now!" Ye guojun couldn''t help but say when he saw ye yiyu''s attitude.


    Ye yiyu was sulking. "I need to go to the toilet!" Leaving the table, zhuang minjia also made up an excuse to leave.


    "Yiyu, just bear with it now! When that girl agrees to cooperate with your father, or when gu shao cooperates with our ye family, our good days will come!" Ye yiyu rolled her eyes and thought that what zhuang minjia said made sense.


    "But! I just can''t stand her like that! Who does she think she is? Why did she suddenly come back? And dad was so nice to her!"


    "Don''t worry! You will always be the sole heir to the ye group! As long as I''m here, no one can snatch it from you!" Zhuang minjia held ye yiyu''s hand and said. Ye yiyu smiled with satisfaction when she heard this.


    On the dining table.


    "Young master gu! Why are you always around zhiqiao? As far as I know, this is the busiest time for the gu group!" Bai zixuan asked maliciously, although the gu family was big and needed someone to manage it.


    "That won''t worry you, president bai. I''ll show up wherever I like. It doesn''t seem to have anything to do with you either!"


    "Er..." Gu mohan''s words left bai zixuan speechless, and he dared not provoke gu mohan, so he lowered his head and ate silently.


    From the moment she entered the door, ye zhiqiao didn''t say a word. She just silently held her bowl to eat. She didn''t know how to face them, although ye guojun kept on talking.


    Soon after dinner, ye guojun took them to his study. There was already brewed tea on the coffee table. Ye guojun and zhuang minjia greeted ye zhiqiao and gu mohan to sit down. Ye yiyu listened to what zhuang minjia had just told her and sat down quietly.


    "Zhiqiao, when are you planning to move back? I asked the housekeeper to clean up your room again. I can send a car to pick you up when you come back!" Ye guojun squinted, took a sip of tea and asked ye zhiqiao.


    "I... I''ll take another look!" Ye zhiqiao did not know how to answer.


    Then ye guojun asked gu mohan about the gu group company, and gu mohan only casually said one or two sentences. Ye guojun looked at the cold gu mohan and said nothing more.


    Ye guojun suddenly had something to do at the company and went out to answer a phone call. Zhuang minjia was nowhere to be found.


    Suddenly, there were only four people left in the room: ye yiyu, bai zixuan, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    "Don''t worry! Even if you move back, my parents will always love me the most! I will always be the sole heir to the ye group!" Ye yiyu saw that ye guojun was still so good to ye zhiqiao, so she couldn''t help but attack ye zhiqiao and looked at ye zhiqiao complacently.


    Facing ye yiyu''s provocation, ye zhiqiao glanced at her calmly and did not speak. She grabbed a corner of the sofa with both hands, and gu mohan saw everything.


    "Yi yu, you can''t say less!" Bai zixuan could no longer listen.


    "Miss ye! Gu mohan suddenly opened his mouth, with a faint sarcasm on his face." My great young lady from the gu group, do you like the ye family to take some property? "


    Ye zhiqiao, ye yiyu and bai zixuan all took a deep breath and opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they had just heard!

 Chapter 24 One Day Ill Make You Pay It Back Double

    When everyone was embarrassed, ye guojun and zhuang minjia heard gu mohan''s words at the same time outside the door. Although gu mohan had never said anything about his relationship with ye zhiqiao, they had already guessed it.


    "Ah! Gu shao, I already guessed that you two have different feelings!" Ye guojun opened the door and walked in, smiling until his eyes narrowed.


    As soon as zhuang minjia entered the door, she went straight to ye zhiqiao and sat down beside her. Holding ye zhiqiao''s hand, she looked better than her own daughter!


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked by zhuang minjia and ye guojun''s actions, and her body shrank back. How could there be such a person?


    Gu mohan curved his lips sarcastically.


    "How long has it been since we returned? He immediately hooked up with young master gu! Ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao, I really underestimated you before! Awesome! You are the pride of our ye family! Look how good mom and dad are to you now!"


    Ye yiyu''s long, fair hands clenched into fists, her nails stabbed into her flesh, and she hated it as much as it hurt!


    Before everyone could react, gu mohan spoke again.


    "Miss ye yiyu! If you ever touch her again, I will make you regret it!"


    Ye yiyu looked up in anger, only to see a thin layer of ice covering gu mohan''s handsome face. She could not help but shrink her neck and subconsciously tugged at the corner of bai zixuan''s clothes, who was sitting next to her.


    Bai zixuan did not seem to notice any reaction and continued drinking his tea as if everything they had just said had nothing to do with him.


    Ye yiyu thought he was too weak, and bai zixuan didn''t feel it, so he took bai zixuan''s hand and acted coquettishly. "Brother zixuan! Look at them bullying me! You won''t even help me! They all went too far, brother zixuan!" As he spoke, he shook bai zixuan''s arm.


    "Uh... Well, I''ll go to the bathroom and talk later!" Bai zixuan did not dare to confront gu mohan. He cursed ye yiyu in his heart for causing trouble.


    Ye zhiqiao only felt relieved. She sneered. "So our brother zixuan treats everyone the same! I heard you guys have been together for five years! It''s been four years since we got married! It seems that the relationship between husband and wife is not good these four years!


    As she said this, ye zhiqiao thought about the situation when bai zixuan betrayed her five years ago. Her mind showed the image of her eight-month-old belly, watching ye yiyu and bai zixuan kiss me, and the image of her losing her child after waking up from a car accident.


    Again and again, in bai zixuan''s just move, ye zhiqiao understood that bai zixuan was a complete scum, scum to the extreme!


    "Hey! In the past, I had been fooled by bai zixuan because of my ignorance. I didn''t expect that you, ye yiyu, had been fooled by a scum like bai zixuan for four years! My silly sister, why are you so silly!" To have such an opportunity to hurt ye yi yu and bai zixuan, ye zhi coincidentally felt that she finally had the opportunity to make a noise in front of ye yi yu, and felt particularly comfortable!


    "You! You..." Ye yiyu was so angry at what ye zhiqiao said that she couldn''t speak for a moment. She thought that ye zhiqiao had indeed changed. With gu Mohan backing her up, she could no longer be bullied and slandered like before! Now ye guojun and zhuang minjia are so good to her!


    Suddenly, bai zixuan came out of the toilet! Ye yiyu, whose eyes were full of tears, suddenly flashed with hope. He thought that bai zixuan would speak for him when he came out. Ye yiyu looked at bai zixuan with expectant eyes.


    As for bai zixuan, who came out of the bathroom, he just sat quietly in his seat and sipped his hot tea with his teacup, as if nothing had happened just now, as if it were none of his business.


    Ye guojun and zhuang minjia also drank tea and ate snacks. It seemed that ye yiyu was like a little transparent at this time, and no one wanted to speak for her.


    Ye yiyu had never suffered such grievances since she was a child, and her heart was cold. She could not hold back two lines of tears from the corner of her eyes, even though nothing happened to the people on the other side.


    She secretly swore in her heart, "Ye zhiqiao! The pain and embarrassment I suffered today will come one day! One day, I will make you exchange for it ten times and a hundred times! Don''t think that everyone is spoiling you now, and you''re just giving me a good thrashing! We''ll see!"

 Chapter 25 If the World Allowed Me, I Would Really Let the World Revolve Around Her

    "Come on, come on! Drink tea! This is the tea that your father asked someone to bring from Yunnan. It tastes so good that it''s not easy to drink outside!" Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly cooled down, zhuang minjia stood up and poured tea for gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, who were standing by, and said, "And this pastry is really delicious! There''s your favorite osmanthus cake!" He also brought a plate of snacks to ye zhiqiao''s front.


    "Thank you, aunt zhuang!" Ye zhiqiao, who had never been treated like this before, was a little flattered. Seeing such a snobbish zhuang minjia, ye zhiqiao felt that this person had to be guarded in the future!


    "Yes, yes, yes! These are all good snacks and tea! Gu shao, try and find out if you like it!" Ye guojun also began to curry favor with gu mohan. The thought of having someone like the gu family to support him in the future made ye guojun happy!


    "Mom! I want to drink too, I want to eat too! Don''t be so biased all the time! I like it too!" Ye yiyu couldn''t stand it anymore! Ye yiyu, who was already unhappy, said with a straight face.


    "Look at what you''re saying! Both your palms and backs are meat! How can I be biased? Isn''t it because of Zhiqiao? She''s been out all these years! We should treat her better!"


    While zhuang minjia was about to pour tea for ye yiyu, ye yiyu reached out for the kettle and said, "Mom! I know, this ye zhiqiao is different from before! I understand! I can do it myself!"


    Ye yiyu took over the teapot and started pouring water herself. Then, she turned her eyes and deliberately tilted her hand. The hot tea fell on bai zixuan who was sitting beside ye yiyu.


    Hiss! You..."


    "Ah! I''m sorry, I''m sorry! Brother zixuan! I just accidentally shook my hand!"


    This made bai zixuan take a deep breath and stand up directly from the sofa. He gritted his teeth and endured it. Although it was not boiling hot water, it was still a little hot. Bai zixuan, who wanted to get angry, was even angrier now! I don''t know who to be angry at. I can''t argue with ye yiyu in front of ye guojun and zhuang minjia!


    He glanced at ye zhiqiao, who was sitting opposite him. Bai zixuan, who could not help it, finally opened his mouth. His face was gloomy and angry at her.


    "Zhiqiao, although you''re famous now and you have gu shao as your boyfriend, this time you go home and see how much mom and dad have done for you. I won''t say anything about you, but you should at least let yi yu know. She''s your sister, and yi yu is pregnant now. We all hold her in our hands. When you come back today, yi yu has suffered so much. Grievance! If you are famous, can''t you restrain yourself a little?"


    "Don''t think that the whole world has to revolve around you! Gu mohan is powerful and powerful, but our yi yu is pregnant now, can''t you just let her have a little bit?"


    At this time, bai zixuan stood opposite ye zhiqiao, shivering all over.


    "I..." Listening to bai zixuan''s unreasonable words, ye zhiqiao, who was not good at refuting, was unable to refute.


    "Before you came back, our yi yu was not so sad. If something happened to our child, could you bear the responsibility?" Bai zixuan still refused to let ye zhiqiao go and continued to blame ye zhiqiao.


    "Child? What happened to the child? Heh! Do you know how to say that? If it weren''t for the two of you, five years ago..." Ye zhiqiao heard the child, and her whole body started to get excited.


    She remembered her eight-month-old child who had left her before she was born!


    Gu mohan''s heart ached when he saw ye zhiqiao like this. He looked at bai zixuan with an unfriendly expression and did not hide his anger. He said firmly, "Bai zixuan, I will tell you today that if possible, I am willing to let the whole world revolve around her."


    Bai zixuan was short of breath and sat down in a daze. Even the arrogant ye yi language did not dare to say anything more.


    "Come on, come on, keep drinking tea! Continue drinking tea!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, ye guojun immediately stood up and poured tea for gu mohan himself. Ye guojun naturally understood that if he accidentally angered gu mohan, not to mention the bai family, even the ye group, which he had worked hard for many years, would suffer along with it!


    "Yes, yes, yes! Butler! The tea is almost gone. Make another pot of good tea. Hurry up! Bring out more snacks! Zhiqiao, young master gu! Don''t take it too seriously! Keep drinking tea, keep drinking tea! We''ll be a family in the future, so don''t worry too much! It''s a family!" Seeing that the situation was not right, zhuang minjia kept winking at the stunned ye yiyu and bai zixuan, signaling them to stop talking!

 Chapter 26 You Will Never Be My Opponent

    When ye yiyu saw that the situation was a little more relaxed, she glanced at gu mohan and squeezed out a friendly smile to face ye zhiqiao.


    "Sister Zhiqiao! Young master gu! Don''t worry too much about what brother zixuan just said. We will be a family from now on. What are you saying to be angry about? Brother zixuan, you really are! Sister Zhiqiao has finally come back. It''s only natural that her parents are good to her. How can I say that I''m not angry?"


    Ye yiyu seemed to be a different person, not only apologizing politely but also complaining that bai zixuan had just been too fierce.


    "And! I don''t have time to take care of my parents right now, and I still have to rely on my sister to spend more time with my parents at home!"


    "Ah? Er..." Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what medicine ye yiyu was selling or what to say. She just subconsciously shrank back. Looking at the sudden change of ye yi language in front of her, ye zhiqiao felt that ye yi language definitely wanted to do something again, but she couldn''t figure out what ye yi language was thinking!


    "Come on, sister Zhiqiao, do you remember what happened when we were kids? I really miss what happened when I was a child!" Ye yiyu stood up, picked up the teapot and cup, and walked towards ye zhiqiao with a smile.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly got up and wanted to meet her...


    "Bang!"


    "Ah!" Ye yiyu''s hand suddenly slipped on purpose, and the teapot in his hand fell to the ground. The precious blue and white porcelain shattered all over the ground, making a crisp sound. The tea in the teapot also splashed all over the ground, splashing on ye zhiqiao''s white high heels, causing ye zhiqiao to take a few steps back! Ye yiyu suddenly screamed and pretended to fall on the floor with one hand covering her stomach. She looked like she was in pain.


    "Ah! It hurts so much! It really hurts! Sister Zhiqiao, why did you trip me? I''ve apologized to you and made up with you. Why are you still doing this to me? If you don''t forgive me, just tell me! You can take revenge on me, but you can''t take revenge on my child! After all, the child is innocent! How could you be so cruel! It really hurts!"


    Ye zhiqiao thought that ye yiyu was indeed ye yiyu, so how could she reconcile with her so easily? No wonder ye yiyu just said that she missed her childhood, right! Wasn''t that her favorite trick when she was a child? Every time I break something and fall down on purpose, I blame myself! Heh! As a child? Even if ye guojun and zhuang minjia knew that ye yiyu was bullying ye zhiqiao when they were young, they would still be as reckless as they were and directly beat and scold ye zhiqiao!


    Ye zhiqiao knew that ye yiyu had fallen on purpose, so she never thought of helping ye yiyu on the ground.


    "Ye zhiqiao! Don''t go too far! Don''t think you can do whatever you want now that you have some skills! Let me tell you, no matter how expensive you are, you can''t bully my yi yu! You will never be able to compete with my yiyu! With a woman as vicious as you, you can never bully us yiyu for the rest of your life!"


    Before ye zhiqiao could regain her senses, zhuang minjia exploded. She pointed at ye zhiqiao''s nose and scolded her. Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and said nothing, but the more she listened, the angrier she became. She felt that she had had had enough tonight! Enough of their hypocrisy! Enough of their greed! Enough of their performance!


    "Have you finished? Which eye of yours saw me tripping her? Don''t you know your daughter? Have you guys had enough fun today?"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t stand it any longer. Ye yiyu''s feigned fall was like a fuse that ignited the anger in her heart!


    "Ah! It hurts so much! Sister Zhiqiao, I know I was wrong! Please let my child go! I was really, really wrong! The child is innocent!" On the surface, but ye yiyu was happy! Hmph! Ye zhiqiao, do you want to compete with me? It''s a little tender! I want to see if gu mohan will want you if he finds out that you are such a woman!


    Ye zhiqiao, trembling all over, walked to ye yiyu and lowered her head. She reached out and pointed at ye yiyu, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Ye yiyu! You''re awesome! Your acting skills are exactly the same as when you were a child! No! It''s so much better than when you were a kid. Why don''t you be an actor? It''s a pity not to be an actor!"


    "Shut up! Ye zhiqiao! You''ve gone too far!" Ye guojun couldn''t help but walk up to ye zhiqiao and raise his right hand angrily. Ye zhiqiao saw this familiar action, and sure enough! She won again! Always the same as when I was a child! Ye zhiqiao habitually closed her eyes and shed two lines of tears. Ye yiyu on the side couldn''t help but laugh when she saw that she had achieved her goal! Sure enough, you will never be my opponent!

 Chapter 27 No One Was Allowed to Bully Her Again

    Ye zhiqiao quietly waited for the palm of ye guojun''s hand, but she did not wait until she heard the rough breathing of ye guojun. When she opened her eyes, ye zhiqiao took another deep breath!


    Gu mohan was standing in front of him, grabbing the hand that ye guojun wanted to take off, and his deep eyes were staring straight at ye guojun.


    Gu mohan was very strong, and ye guojun was obviously no match for gu mohan at his age. With a little effort, gu mohan easily took ye guojun''s hand away.


    "You..."


    "President ye! I can still call you today. It''s enough to give you face! Please don''t provoke ye zhiqiao anymore. Your ye family doesn''t need her and doesn''t love her, but I need her and I love her! So, please don''t try to hurt ye zhiqiao again in the future, or I will make you suffer!"


    Then gu mohan let go of ye guojun''s hand. Before everyone could recover, he grabbed ye yiyu, who was lying on the ground, and leaned closer to her face. "Miss ye yiyu! I''ll tell you too! Don''t think of any more ideas to harm ye zhiqiao in the future, or else don''t say anything about your child, even your own little life can''t be reported! Did you hear that?"


    "I..."


    Gu mohan let go of ye yiyu''s hand and retreated, facing everyone who was at a loss.


    Especially ye yiyu, who thought that gu mohan would hate ye zhiqiao as much as ye guojun and zhuang minjia did, did not expect gu mohan to see his own tricks at a glance. Why? Is she destined to be unable to compete with ye zhi now?


    Ye zhiqiao, whose eyes were brimming with tears, looked at the man in front of her. The fear in her heart just now vanished in an instant. The former gu mohan was an iceberg in the south pole, an iceberg that could never be melted, but at this time, gu mohan was like the warm sun in winter, making the cold ye zhiqiao wait for the unprecedented warmth.


    "All of you here, listen to me, no matter who it is! In any way, I will make you pay a thousand times and a thousand times the price in exchange!"


    After that, gu mohan pulled up ye zhiqiao, who was extremely moved and at a loss, and stormed out of the ye family''s door.


    The whole family of the ye family was in a daze and didn''t know what to say. They just watched the angry gu mohan pull ye zhi''s clever head and walk out without turning back...


    Gu mohan opened the passenger door for ye zhiqiao, who sat in with tears in her eyes.


    "Woo woo... Woo..." After getting into the car, ye zhiqiao could no longer control her emotions. Thinking about what happened tonight, the way ye guojun and zhuang minjia treated her and their attitude, their faces and faces appeared in her mind one after another.


    At this time, gu mohan, who was sitting in the driver''s seat, saw ye zhiqiao with deep eyes.


    Gu mohan silently placed his hand on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder, one hand gently patting ye zhiqiao''s shoulder, and the other hand caressing ye zhiqiao''s soft dark green long hair. Ye zhiqiao jumped into gu mohan''s arms and burst into tears, as if trying to turn all the pain into tears.


    The two of them just sat there, and ye zhiqiao was sobbing in gu mohan''s arms. Gu mohan hugged the weak and pitiful ye zhiqiao tightly, comforting her while silently thinking that she would never be hurt in the future.


    No one knew how long had passed, and gu mohan''s white shirt was already half wet!


    Ye zhiqiao''s cry also gradually became smaller, as if she was tired from crying. Gu mohan was still in that position, holding ye zhiqiao tightly in his arms, as if she would fall if she were a little lighter.


    Ye zhiqiao slowly raised her head, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and there were obvious tears on her face. Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao in his arms and felt especially distressed.

 Chapter 28 Youre Just Doing It for My Body

    "Thank you for today, young master gu. If it weren''t for you, I might... Maybe..."


    "Zhiqiao, stop it. Forget them. They will never repent." Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao like this, then remembered the eyes of ye guojun, zhuang minjia and ye yiyu when they looked at ye zhiqiao. Gu mohan concluded that they would not let ye zhiqiao go easily.


    "I''ll take care of it myself. Anyway, thank you for helping me today. I''ll always remember the scene where you helped me today. Don''t worry, I''ll repay you when I can."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to think about ye yiyu, zhuang minjia, or fatherless. Ye zhiqiao felt that if she wanted to be strong enough, no one would bully her anymore.


    Gu mohan looked at the girl in his arms with a twinkle in her eyes. His eyes were filled with confusion. "No, I don''t need your reward. I don''t need to wait for the day when you have the ability."


    "Then you..."


    Ye zhiqiao, who was originally in gu mohan''s arms, raised her head and looked at gu mohan as he gently lowered his head to look at herself. Her eyelashes were long and dark, casting a shadow over her eyelids.


    Gu mohan''s thin lips slowly moved closer to ye zhiqiao''s cherry mouth. A refreshing mint smell came from the tip of ye zhiqiao''s tongue, which was sweet.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened and she was as dumb as a wooden chicken. A wave of grievance rushed to her head.


    Can anyone bully her?


    She was stunned for a moment, then pushed open the closed eyes of gu mohan, opened the door and immediately got out of the car. After getting out of the car, ye zhiqiao ran a few steps forward, then squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.


    When gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao pushing him away, he did not know what to say.


    Then gu mohan calmed down and got out of the car. He quietly walked to ye zhiqiao, who was squatting in front of him. He squatted down and leaned closer to her and said softly, "Let''s go. I''ll take you home."


    "Okay!" Ye zhiqiao stood up and silently sat down in the passenger seat.


    Gu mohan also got in the car, the car was still this car, the people were still the two of them, but the car no longer had the sweet feeling just now, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy again, so heavy that ye zhiqiao could not breathe, gu mohan returned to the cold as before.


    Suddenly, ye zhiqiao found a black car in the rearview mirror. It was just a normal car. It was the kind of car that could be seen everywhere on the street. Perhaps she was tired of the empty road just now, and now that there was suddenly another car, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but look at it a few more times.


    When the car reached the street, ye zhiqiao saw a familiar car in the rearview mirror, and the black car. Ye zhiqiao didn''t believe her eyes, rubbed her eyes, and looked carefully. It was really the black car. How could it be? Is that impossible? Just now, gu mohan had made so many turns, why was he still behind? Moreover, ye zhiqiao was sure that it was the black car, because the left light of this car seemed to be a little broken, so it gave people a feeling that it was dark and bright at the same time, but it was impossible, was it just a coincidence, was it just that he thought too much?


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at gu Mohan again. He still pursed his lips as if someone had angered him.


    Then ye zhiqiao clearly felt that gu mohan had turned a few corners faster than before. Ye zhiqiao now felt that her guess was right. Gu mohan must have found that suspicious car too.


    This time, gu mohan purposely walked in the opposite direction of the villa and found that the car was still following him. Then, gu mohan cleverly turned a corner and returned to the road he was going to take.


    Not long after, the black car appeared again. The dim and bright lights in the night were especially conspicuous, and they kept the distance, following them without stopping. Gu mohan smiled as if he had done so.

 Chapter 29 How Dare You Compare to Me? Youre a Little Green!

    "Do you feel the same way as I do that the person behind us is tracking us?" Ye zhiqiao looked nervously at gu mohan, who was driving seriously, and asked worriedly.


    Thinking about the recent series of things that happened after returning to china, ye zhi couldn''t help but become nervous and felt that something would happen again.


    "It''s okay. Don''t worry too much. I''ve seen a car following me for the past few days. I''m used to it. Don''t be afraid! I can get rid of him right away. If you dare to compare your driving skills with mine, he''s still a little green!" Gu mohan said calmly as he looked at the car in the rearview mirror.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at this situation and gu mohan was still so calm. One could imagine how many things gu mohan had never experienced before. Then he slowly stopped worrying and continued to look out the window.


    Outside the window, the green roads on both sides of the road were quietly erected there, and ye zhiqiao looked at them in a daze.


    Gu mohan suddenly sped up at a traffic light intersection, disturbing ye zhiqiao''s mood to look at the green road. She could clearly feel that gu mohan was a little more nervous than just now. The car was a little unstable and turned into a few more cars. Although he did not see the black car for the time being, gu mohan had no intention of slowing down and continued to speed up. Gu mohan saw another green light flashing in front of him. Without hesitation, gu mohan sped past the traffic lights.


    Ye zhiqiao''s hands were clasped together, her palms were sweaty, and her heart was speeding up with gu mohan''s car. Ye zhiqiao''s body was swaying along with the car, her eyes nervously staring ahead.


    Be careful, don''t rush. Cars, cars, we should have gotten rid of him a long time ago. Slow down." Ye zhiqiao looked ahead worriedly, reminding gu mohan that something might happen.


    "Don''t worry, it''s okay. That black car isn''t that easy to get rid of. I don''t have anyone who can match my driving skills. Just keep an eye on it." Gu mo gave a cold laugh and looked ahead, suddenly frowning.


    "Stop the car in front of you. You just passed the red light. I need to check your driver''s license and stop the car. Not only did you run the red light, but you were speeding all the time. Stop and get off!" A tall, black man dressed in a traffic police uniform suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a baton in one hand and shouting at ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    Gu mohan slowly stopped the car, rolled down the window and stared at the traffic policeman.


    "All of you get out of the car quickly and hand over your driver''s license. Do you hear me? Get out of the car quickly." The traffic policeman seemed to be in a bad mood and shouted at them.


    Ye zhiqiao was startled and felt that it was the traffic light that had just happened, so she planned to untie her seat belt and get out of the car. Gu mohan, with a dark face, grabbed ye zhiqiao''s hand, which was about to get out of the car.


    "Dang, dang, dang!" The traffic police shouted for them to get out of the car and knocked on the window. The force seemed to shatter the car window!


    "You just exceeded the speed limit and ran the red light. You''ve committed two crimes in a row. Get out of the car. It''s no use putting down the window. Get out of the car." The traffic police shouted at gu mohan and ye zhiqiao in the car.


    Gu mohan loosened his seat belt and was about to get out of the car when the traffic policeman took out a long knife from behind and stabbed him with a ferocious expression.


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao was shocked by this scene.


    Gu mohan saw the knife suddenly stabbed at him and had no time to hesitate. Although gu mohan was sitting in the car at this time, gu mohan quickly turned around and leaned down on the seat behind him, reflexively avoiding the oncoming long knife!


    However, gu mohan''s left arm could not escape safely. When he turned around, he stabbed him in the left arm with a knife. Although gu mohan was very agile, he could not resist the sharpness of the long knife!


    "Hiss~" gu mohan could not help but take a deep breath!


    However, gu mohan did not observe the wound, but quickly grabbed the policeman''s knife hand.


    "Ah!" The patrol officer immediately dropped the knife in his hand and got into the car. It was exactly where ye zhi made it! Ye zhiqiao, who had been at a loss, immediately grabbed the sharp knife in front of her and threw it into the back seat of the car!


    Gu mohan saw that the patrolman had lost a dangerous sharp knife and was no longer afraid. He pulled him into the car with all his might.


    "Ah! Stop! Ah! Stop! Stop right now!" The patrolman cried out in pain! As he struggled desperately, he kept shouting for gu mohan to stop!


    "Big brother patrolman! I admit that there is something wrong with us! But you can''t do that either! He was wearing a sharp weapon! No... Is this how patrols do things nowadays? Your behavior is really a little too much!"


    Seeing the traffic police not only unable to move but also begging for mercy, the fear in ye zhiqiao''s heart finally dissipated! He started lecturing the poor patrolman.


    "Big sister! I was wrong, wrong! I really know I was wrong! I''m not a patrolman at all! I don''t know anything! I dare not provoke you again! Please let me go! Let go of my arm! It hurts! It really hurts! I really know my mistake!"


    Seeing gu mohan''s expressionless face slowly roll up the window, the fake traffic policeman began to beg for mercy.


    "What?" Ye zhiqiao was shocked and stared at the traffic policeman with beautiful eyes.


    "Tell me, who sent you here? Otherwise, you won''t want this hand today! I''ll chop it off and stew it for you, believe it or not!" Gu mohan suddenly asked, looking at him expressionless, his whole body emitting a cold air.


    "Put down the window first! Be gentle! Be gentle!" The man who pretended to be a patrolman suddenly became nervous when he saw ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was just about to release the man''s hand.


    "Wait! If he has other weapons, what if we let him go and hurt you?" Ye zhiqiao saw gu mohan''s bleeding left arm and looked up at gu Mohan worriedly, afraid that gu mohan would be hurt again.


    "Nothing! He''s no match for me! Don''t worry!" Gu mohan only glanced at his left arm and released the hand that pretended to be a patrolman.


    As his hand was released, he first twisted his wrist and then said to gu mohan in a sly way, "Hey! Why are you here too?"


    Both gu mohan and ye zhiqiao reflexively turned to see who it was at the same time, but the moment they turned their heads, they immediately realized that they had been fooled by him! There was no one there. The dark and quiet road was empty! There was not even a single person!


    The man who pretended to be a patrolman saw that they had been fooled, smiled with satisfaction, and immediately turned around and ran away.


    Without thinking, gu mohan opened the car door and chased after the man.

 Chapter 30 A Hooligan Pretending to Be a Patrolman

    "No! Gu mohan! He might have a weapon on him! Don''t chase me if you''re still injured." Ye zhi coincidentally saw gu mohan chasing after him recklessly and thought of the scene where the man had just stabbed gu mohan with a knife. She was very worried that something might happen to gu mohan.


    So, he opened the car door and ran to gu Mohan, shivering as he ran! The summer night wind messed up ye zhiqiao''s beautiful dark green hair.


    "Hmph! You brat, how dare you chase after him! You''re injured, and you''ve lost so much blood, will you still be my opponent?" The man who pretended to be a patrolman really had no strength to run any further, so he stopped and gasped for air. He continued to provoke gu Mohan with a particularly unsightly expression.


    "Even if I were injured, you wouldn''t be my opponent." Seeing him stop, gu mohan also stopped, panting. They did not know how long and how far they had run.


    When ye zhiqiao arrived, she saw gu mohan pressing the man who pretended to be a patrolman with his right hand and one leg on his back. The man who pretended to be a patrolman couldn''t move. It was as if both sides had lost their strength and were panting in their original positions, with nothing but panting.


    "Gu mohan, are you okay? Are you hurt? What just happened? How''s your wound?" Ye zhiqiao was already panting and exhausted when she ran over, but she didn''t care about her own tiredness. She hurried to gu mohan''s side and looked at gu mohan''s bloodstained left arm.


    "I''m fine! This guy is a piece of trash!" Gu mohan looked at the immobile fellow under him and laughed.


    "Say it! Who sent you here?" Then gu mohan remembered the incident and increased his strength. The guy under his opponent roared.


    "I... Actually, I don''t know who..." The man was so tired that he didn''t have any strength to struggle anymore, so he obediently gave in.


    "Play tricks on me again? Do you believe that I will twist your arm off for you?" Gu mohan expressionlessly increased his strength.


    "Brother... I really didn''t lie. I believe you would break your hand. I... I''m just a gangster in this area. I''m really just using money to help people out. I really don''t know who''s the master! Just let me go! I know I was wrong, and I dare not do it again... Ah... Be gentle!" The little punk was in so much pain that he spat out everything in one breath.


    "Gu shao, just let him go. I don''t think he''s lying. I don''t think he dares to lie anymore." Ye zhiqiao was especially uncomfortable when she heard this little punk crying and howling, and she also felt that it had nothing to do with him.


    "Hello, young master gu? What''s the matter? Why did you call at this time?"


    "I''m on longshan road now. Do you have time to come over? I just caught a punk trying to sneak an attack on me." Gu mohan said as he glanced at the thug who was knocked unconscious by him.


    "What? Really? Who''s so bold and doesn''t want to live? Him! You wait, I''ll be right there!"


    "Okay." Gu mohan replied and hung up.


    "Don''t worry! It''s all right now. I just called my assistant, qin ning, to come over, and I can take care of him right away." Gu mohan turned to look at ye zhiqiao, his deep eyes tinged with concern.


    "Okay, that''s good." Ye zhiqiao answered gu mohan casually and absent-mindedly.


    "Who do you think sent him here?" Ye zhiqiao looked at the little gangster lying on the ground and fainted. She always felt that the purpose of this person was not gu mohan, but herself.


    "Whoever it is, I won''t let him hurt you." At this point, gu mohan paused and continued, "And when qin ning takes him back, interrogates him carefully, and then asks him to investigate, I believe we will soon find out who the mastermind is."


    "Drip drip~"


    Suddenly, a sharp horn sounded and a bright headlight shone on her. Ye zhiqiao couldn''t open her eyes because of the light and couldn''t help but reach out her hands to block the light in front of her.


    "Young master gu, are you okay?" A tall man stepped out of the car and walked to gu mohan with concern.


    "It''s that guy. I''m fine. Take him back and interrogate him. Who sent him to hurt me?" Gu mohan did not say anything about his injury. He raised his chin slightly and motioned for him to look at the thug lying on the ground.


    "He''s really bold. He just came to see you. He''s really tired of living." Qin ning looked at the thug lying on the ground and kicked him with disgust.


    Qin ning suddenly thought of something and looked at ye zhiqiao curiously. "Is this miss ye zhiqiao?"


    "Yes, hello!" Ye zhiqiao smiled politely at qin ning and greeted her.


    "Hello!" Qin ning quietly poured out a large amount of lower ye Zhiqiao. She had a beautiful face, a slender body, and looked like a dusty lotus. No wonder gu shao had been looking into things related to ye zhiqiao recently.


    Qin ning kept staring at ye zhiqiao, who felt uncomfortable all over.


    "Uh... That gu shao, there''s nothing else. I''ll take this punk back first." Qin ning coughed in embarrassment and said goodbye to gu mohan wisely.


    "Okay." Gu mohan nodded, not saying anything. There was a hint of forbearance on his face, but the night was blurry and qin ning could not see clearly.


    Qin ning didn''t think much about it, so she took one of the hooligans''legs and pulled it into the car, leaving without looking back.


    When ye zhiqiao saw qin ning leave, she didn''t want to stay in this place. She called gu mohan to leave. "Let''s go too!"


    "Okay!" Gu mohan''s voice was a little hoarse, as if he had been suppressing something.


    Hearing this voice, ye zhiqiao always felt that something was wrong. She looked over doubtfully, and her face turned pale with fear.


    Under the dim yellow streetlight, the bright red blood stained the white shirt sleeves of gu mohan''s entire arm.


    "Ah! Young master gu! Your arm! How did your arm bleed so much! Oh my god!" Ye zhiqiao finally found out what was wrong with gu mohan.


    "No... It''s okay! It''s not a big deal, isn''t it?" Gu mohan felt a little happy when he saw ye zhiqiao so nervous.


    "Are you crazy? Would it bleed so much if it was scratched? Why didn''t you just tell qin ning to take you to the hospital to get dressed?" Ye zhiqiao was a little angry and a little distressed by gu mohan.


    "Get up quickly. Let''s go back to the car." Ye zhiqiao stepped forward to support gu mohan, who was trembling a little.


    In the car, ye zhiqiao took out a bottle of pure water in the car, "Stab!" With a sound, he tore open gu mohan''s white shirt which had been dyed red with blood with his hand. Gu mohan''s bloody and fleshy hand slowly appeared in front of ye zhiqiao''s eyes.


    "Oh my god! How could this be? How could there be so much blood? Didn''t you say you just scratched a little? No wonder you were shaking just now!" Ye zhiqiao couldn''t believe her eyes when she saw gu mohan''s arm.

 Chapter 31 I Held a Girl in My Arms Who Was Thinking About Another Boy

    Come on, don''t move. I''ll wash it for you first. Then... Do you have any bandages in your car?" Before gu mohan could answer, ye zhiqiao picked up the water and poured it on gu mohan''s arm.


    "I think so!" Gu mohan''s wound touched the water and his arm trembled slightly, but his face did not change. He still looked at ye zhiqiao calmly to help him with the wound.


    "Don''t you feel pain? It hurts when I look at it! You''re telling me you''re serious. You pretended to be fine with such a serious wound. Look at how painful you are. You''re sweating." Ye zhiqiao looked up and saw a lot of sweat on gu mohan''s forehead. She took out a few tissues and helped gu Mohan wipe his sweat.


    "Why didn''t you say it just now? Just tell me earlier and I''ll help you with your wound! Why are you holding on to everything?" Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan and kept complaining about why gu mohan didn''t say it earlier. Then he took out the medicine box in gu mohan''s car and took out the anti-inflammatory drugs.


    "Hold it in. I''ll put some medicine on you now. It might hurt a little. Huh? Don''t you feel any pain? How come it doesn''t seem to hurt?" Ye zhiqiao helped gu mohan apply the medicine. Gu mohan didn''t say anything, nor did he cry out for pain.


    "Do you know that you are like a mother, nagging and never stopping?" Gu mohan, who had been silent for a long time, could not help but curl up his lips.


    "You..." Ye zhiqiao blushed when she heard gu mohan say that.


    "All right, your wound has been bandaged! Let me help you throw away all these things!" Ye zhiqiao got out of the car with a red face and walked to a trash can in front of her, throwing all the dirty clothes that smelled of blood into the trash can. When he got back to the car, gu mohan found a clean coat and put it on himself.


    "Too much has happened tonight. I want to go to the bar and have a drink! So go back first!" Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan and whispered.


    Gu mohan looked at her expressionlessly and slowly opened his mouth. "I just want to calm down. Let''s go together."


    "Then... Okay!" Ye zhiqiao said that gu mohan was no match for her, and that she had just returned to china and was not familiar with the terrain here, so she agreed.


    Not long after, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao arrived at this bar. The bar of forgetfulness!!!


    In the bar, the lights were dim and the strangely dressed men and women were mixed together. The street was so deserted, but it was so lively inside that ye zhiqiao''s depressed mood was released tonight.


    Walking to the bar and ordering a glass of wine, ye zhiqiao took a sip and looked at the men and women dancing on the dance floor, her eyes filled with longing.


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao quietly behind her, feeling all sorts of feelings in his heart.


    "Ouch! Gu shao? Ye zhiqiao? Why are you here?" A voice broke the awkwardness between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    "Qin Baiye? You''re here too!" Ye zhiqiao looked at Qin Baiye in front of her and was stunned.


    "Ouch! You two? There''s a story! No wonder gu shao didn''t even care about little treasure, so he came to find his mother for little treasure! Awesome! Young master gu is indeed young master gu. He moves so fast." Qin Baiye held a glass in one hand and rested one hand on gu mohan''s shoulder, looking at them with interest as if he had discovered a new world.


    "Qin Baiye, don''t talk nonsense. We''re just friends." Ye zhiqiao had expected gu mohan to explain, but when she turned to look at his acquiescent expression, she was speechless and explained.


    "Oh? Is it really like this? Miss ye zhiqiao, I like you. Can I chase you?" Qin Baiye suddenly approached ye zhiqiao, lowered his head affectionately and approached her. He slowly raised his hand to touch her hair.


    "Stop!" The silent gu mohan quickly grabbed Qin Baiye''s salted pig hand and scolded him unhappily. Then he warned Qin Baiye with his eyes, "I brought miss ye here."


    "Ouch... I understand! I understand! I understand!" Qin Baiye gave an unexpected bad smile and teased gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    When ye zhiqiao heard gu mohan''s words, her heart trembled and her face flushed. To change the subject, she went to the bar and brought over two bottles of wine. She smiled and said, "Three free drinks!"


    "Ouch! It''s not fair. You didn''t buy me a wedding drink. Why do you want me to drink it? Aren''t you supposed to drink?"


    ...


    I don''t know how long later, ye zhiqiao got a little drunk and dragged gu mohan to dance. "Uh... You can dance with me!" Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao who was so drunk and agreed to dance with her.


    On the dance floor, ye zhiqiao, who was drunk, hugged gu mohan''s neck. The little face of ye zhiqiao, who was a little drunk, was a little red and very cute. The two of them followed the music for a long time, as if they were the only ones left in the world.


    I don''t know when the music stopped, but ye zhiqiao still tightly hugged gu mohan''s neck, then suddenly looked up and said to gu mohan, "Do you remember when we last danced? Haha... I don''t remember either... Haha!"


    Gu mohan was confused.


    "Brother zixuan, do you know? I really miss you so much!"


    Forgive me! Forgive her for treating him as bai zixuan but gu mohan was so angry that he wanted to push ye zhiqiao away from his arms, but at this time ye zhiqiao was swaying and sticking tightly to him, so gu mohan had no choice but to keep ye zhiqiao company.


    "Brother zixuan, have you ever thought of me in the past five years?" Ye zhiqiao suddenly stood on tiptoe, one centimeter away from ye zhiqiao''s cherry mouth, she could touch gu mohan''s sexy mouth, but gu mohan was too high.


    As long as gu mohan lowered his head a little, he could touch her, but gu mohan didn''t want to do this. He didn''t want ye zhiqiao to think about others and kiss her.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her head and waited for a long time. Without waiting for gu mohan''s kiss, she lowered her head and said, "Woo woo... Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you with ye yiyu? How could you do this to me!"


    Ye zhiqiao, who was suddenly agitated, began to cry in gu mohan''s arms. She was still crying and pounding gu mohan''s chest with her little fist.


    Gu mohan hugged ye zhiqiao, who was crying so badly in his arms, his eyes dimmed and his thin lips tightened.


    He lowered his head, leaned closer to ye zhiqiao''s ear and said softly, "I won''t leave you! Don''t worry, I''ll never leave you. I''m gu mohan, I''m not bai zixuan. I won''t do that to you. I''ll always be with you. I won''t betray you..."

 Chapter 32 Little Rascal

    Qin Baiye looked at the two people in front of him. Although they were not sweet at the moment, they still gave a very sweet feeling. Qin Baiye just picked up a glass of wine and suddenly called.


    "Hello? What is it?"


    "Okay! I''ll be right there!"


    "Young master gu, if I have something else to do, I will leave first. Go on!" Before Qin Baiye left, he did not forget to tease gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    I don''t know how long ye zhiqiao cried, maybe she was tired from crying. Gu mohan clearly felt that ye zhiqiao''s mood in his arms was much better and gradually calmed down. Gu mohan stroked ye zhiqiao''s long hair and her quiet breathing was like a cute little white rabbit.


    "Er..." The little white rabbit in his arms suddenly looked up from gu Mohan''s arms, but he couldn''t help but vomit all over gu mohan.


    "Are you okay? Will it still be uncomfortable if it sticks out?" Although ye zhiqiao''s vomit instantly covered his body and gave off the smell of stomach acid, gu mohan did not mean to despise her at all. Instead, he looked worriedly at ye zhiqiao with her head down and held her carefully with both hands, fearing that she might fall over.


    "I''m fine, I''m fine, I''m fine. Why do you keep doing this? I''m not drunk. It''s as if I''m serious. I don''t know how much I can drink! Really." Ye zhiqiao broke free of gu mohan''s hand and said with conviction that she was not drunk.


    Gu mohan thought it was funny to see ye zhiqiao like this.


    Ye zhiqiao broke free of gu mohan''s hands and returned to the bar. "Give me a few more glasses of wine. I''m not drunk yet. Give me some wine now."


    The bartender didn''t have much reaction when he saw ye zhiqiao like this. It was estimated that there were several such people every day. If he was tired of watching, he poured a few more glasses of wine for ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao sitting alone in front of the bar, holding a glass of wine while mumbling something that he couldn''t understand, so he turned to the bathroom of the bar and tried to clean up ye zhiqiao''s vomit.


    Originally, she wanted to tell ye zhiqiao to sit down for a while and come back immediately, but when she saw ye zhiqiao like that, she didn''t seem to understand what she said, so she wanted to go back as soon as possible, so she didn''t tell ye zhiqiao to go directly to the toilet.


    "Ouch! Girl, you''re the only one!" Suddenly, out of the dance floor came a pair of jeans and a blouse with holes in them. There were three or four holes in his ears. He was probably a social hooligan.


    Perhaps because he drank too much wine, this little hooligan walked unsteadily, his whole body was emitting a pungent smell of alcohol, and it was especially strong. When he saw ye zhiqiao sitting alone in front of the bar, his eyes immediately lit up.


    "Who are you...?... I... I don''t know you..." Ye zhiqiao was so drunk that she couldn''t even speak clearly. She squinted at the little rascal in front of her.


    "What''s wrong? Dumped by her boyfriend? It''s so boring to sit here and drink alone! Do you want me to accompany you, brother?" The hooligan saw ye zhiqiao drink like this, so he laughed even more happily, and presumptuously put his skinny hands on ye zhiqiao''s shoulders.


    "Go away. I don''t even know you. Who the hell are you?" Ye zhiqiao broke free of the hooligan''s hand while she was drunk, and her head fell to the side uncontrollably.


    The hooligan looked around cunningly to make sure no one was paying attention to them. He put down his wine glass and let out a bad smile. "Little sister, brother will take you somewhere else to play, okay? But what''s the point of drinking here? I know a great place."


    Before ye zhiqiao could answer his objection, the hooligan stepped forward and supported ye zhiqiao, intending to forcibly take her away.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao had no strength to resist. "What fun place? I... I don''t want to go..."


    "You''ll know when you go with me! I promise I won''t disappoint you. Don''t worry, I''ll make you happy!" The little hooligan''s mouth never closed at all, and he looked at ye zhiqiao in his arms and did not resist laughing even more happily.


    "Ouch! Let go, let go of me, go away!" Ye zhiqiao struggled hard, but it was completely useless. She could not break free from the little rascal at all.


    "Don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid. I will make you satisfied, my little darling. It will be here soon. Be good!" The hooligan kept looking around, while hurriedly pulling ye zhiqiao away.


    Ye zhiqiao was dragged out of the bar by the hooligan. There was no one outside the bar. The hooligan looked around and didn''t see a car, so he walked to the nearby hotel and looked around vigilantly.


    Everyone in the bar was drunk, and no one noticed what happened to ye zhiqiao. Everyone was immersed in their own world.


    Gu mohan wiped the vomit off his body with a tissue in the bathroom, then got some water, and finally stood under the dryer to dry his clothes. Gu mohan could not help but frown at the scene where ye zhi coincidentally hugged him and cried.


    Gu mohan put on his dry clothes and walked out to the bar, eh? Why was there no one? Gu mohan looked at the dance floor. The huge bar was full of people twisting with the music. Gu mohan was like crazy, desperately searching for ye zhiqiao''s figure, but he never saw it.


    In the cluttered bar, there were people everywhere. Gu mohan could not see them at all and could not find the figure he was familiar with.


    "Did you see the girl I was with just now?" Gu mohan turned around and suddenly saw the bartender who was looking at him. He strode forward.


    "That pretty girl you''re talking about? They were abducted. Now... I guess you know." The bartender gave gu Mohan a look.


    Gu mohan''s face darkened and he turned around and walked out of the bar, opened the door and sat in.


    "Come on, girl, let''s go in quickly. This is it." The hooligan stared at ye zhiqiao with a smile and rushed to urge her.


    Although ye zhiqiao was drunk, she still opened her eyes wide and desperately observed where this place was. "Here... Where is this place?"


    "Fun place. Come on, let''s go in." Seeing that ye zhiqiao had become a little sober, the hooligan began to get a little nervous and kept urging ye zhiqiao to go in.


    "Where is this? I don''t want to. I don''t want to go in. Don''t touch me!" Ye zhiqiao felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around her and began to try to break free from the hands of the hooligans.

 Chapter 33 Gu Mohan! You Bastard!

    During their argument, ye zhiqiao was pushed violently by the hooligan, staggered back a few steps, and then crashed into a warm and broad chest.


    "Are you okay?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded above ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao tried her best to raise her head and open her eyes wide, only to see the man''s angular jaw, the high bridge of his nose, and then his deep eyes...


    She heaved a complete sigh of relief and threw herself into his arms. "Gu mohan! You bastard, why did you leave me alone? Why did you just disappear?"


    Her complaint completely stunned the strange man. He looked at ye zhiqiao and was speechless.


    "See? He''s my boyfriend! If you touch me again, he won''t let you go! If you know what''s going on, go away! My boyfriend is really good at fighting!"


    Ye zhi held the arm of the strange man with a crooked grin. Her face, which was flushed with alcohol, raised slightly and looked at the hooligan proudly.


    "Just him? How is that possible! You were the only one in the bar!" The hooligan was a little suspicious, but he didn''t dare confirm it and didn''t want to give up ye zhiqiao.


    "Why not? He''s my boyfriend! Hurry up and leave. My boyfriend is really bad-tempered." Ye zhiqiao leaned on the shoulders of a strange man in a daze.


    "You..." The hooligan still didn''t want to give up. He turned to look at the strange man unkindly and asked him to mind his own business.


    Unexpectedly, the man suddenly sneered and straightened up, half a head taller than the little punk. He said seriously, "What are you? You! You rascal, try bullying my girlfriend again! Believe it or not, I''ll hit you right now!"


    Hearing the strange man''s words, the hooligan had no choice but to leave reluctantly.


    Seeing the little hooligan run away dejectedly, the drunk ye zhiqiao continued to hold the strange man in her arms, her mouth chattering incessantly.


    "Mmm... I''m so sleepy! I want to go home. You should send me home quickly!" Ye zhiqiao hugged the man''s waist and flirted with him to send her home.


    "Miss, you... Don''t do this. I''m not gu mohan at all. Open your eyes and take a closer look. My name is yi chen, yi yi, dust dust. How much wine have you drunk?" The man named yi chen was extremely anxious and was a little confused about ye zhiqiao''s intimacy.


    "Don''t fall asleep! I want to take you home, too. You should tell me where your house is, eh! Don''t sleep, don''t sleep! Wake up, what if you fall asleep?" Looking at ye zhiqiao who was about to fall asleep in his arms, yi chen really began to panic.


    When gu mohan drove to find it, he saw ye zhiqiao and yi chen hugging each other tightly, looking very daring and affectionate.


    "Stop all of you!" Gu mohan''s face darkened, and his eyes shot out sharply as he stared fiercely at the two of them.


    "Who are you? Why do you keep hugging her?" Gu mohan strode to the two of them with long legs and pulled ye zhiqiao out of yi chen''s arms. His face was covered in dark clouds, so black that it was almost dripping water.


    "Hello! Do you know her? This young lady has drunk too much and has mistaken me for someone else. Don''t misunderstand me. I''ve never dared to move. If you know her, take her home!" Yi chen looked like he had seen a savior.


    Gu mohan pursed his lips and his face slowed down a little. He looked down at ye zhiqiao in his arms and found that her long, gentle face was becoming messy and her clothes were a little messy. He kept mumbling about going home and not liking gu mohan.


    This ye zhiqiao gu mohan found it funny and helpless, mixed feelings in his heart, and a smile flashed in his eyes.


    "Well... If you really know her, then I''ll go. Anyway, there''s nothing else I can do. She''ll leave it to you!" Yi chen was relieved to see that he was finally liberated and was about to leave when he suddenly added in a cold voice.


    "If she''s your girlfriend, then you should treat her better in the future. Drink like this in the middle of the night. If you hadn''t met me just now, you wouldn''t know what would have happened. You should care more about her! She was so pitiful just now." When yi chen thought about what happened just now, he couldn''t help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, this girl met her, or else... He couldn''t help but remind gu mohan, then turned around and left.


    Originally, gu mohan wanted to send her home, but he couldn''t find the key to her house, so he had to bring her back to his house.


    "Young master gu, are you going for a drink? I made you some hangover soup." The maid at home saw that gu Mohan hadn''t come back so late and guessed that he had gone out for a drink, so she cooked the sobering soup early and waited for him to come back.


    Gu mohan lowered his head to look at ye zhiqiao in his arms, his eyes overflowing with tenderness that could not be covered. When he looked up again, his face was already indifferent. Then he told the servants to change her pajamas and feed her sobering soup.


    "Yes, master gu, I see." The servant knew gu mohan''s temper and stopped asking questions.


    The young master had never brought any woman to this villa, let alone overnight. At the thought of this, the servant''s heart thumped and his men moved faster.


    Gu mohan carried ye zhiqiao back to the large bed next to his room.


    By the time he finished his bath and went to see her, the maid had already changed her clothes and left.


    He saw a small body curled up in the quilt, long hair scattered on the clean pillow, and a small white face rubbed on the pillow from time to time.


    He could not help but reach out to help her cover the quilt. After covering the quilt, just as he turned around, ye zhiqiao''s white hands suddenly reached out from the quilt and pulled the corner of gu mohan''s clothes.

 Chapter 34 What Exactly Happened Last Night?

    "Don''t go, don''t... Don''t leave me, don''t leave me, okay? I''m scared!" Ye zhi happened to shrink into a ball, one hand holding the corner of gu mohan''s clothes.


    Gu mohan sat by the bed. "Okay, I won''t leave. I won''t leave you. Don''t worry. I''ll always be there." Gu mohan, like he used to coax little treasure to sleep, stroked ye zhiqiao''s head with one hand and gently comforted her.


    Suddenly, ye zhiqiao hugged gu mohan''s waist and mumbled something in his mouth. Gu mohan could not hear it clearly, but when gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao hugging him like this, his heart inexplicably began to beat faster.


    Gu mohan let go of ye zhiqiao''s hand and put ye zhiqiao on the bed. He kissed ye zhiqiao gently on her forehead and said gently in her ear, "Good night!"


    Just as gu mohan was about to get up and leave, ye zhiqiao suddenly got up and hugged gu mohan''s neck. She kissed gu mohan''s sexy lips deeply. Although it tasted like wine, gu mohan felt especially sweet and soft, softer than cotton candy and jelly, sweeter than honey...


    Gu mohan was woken up early in the morning by the ringtone of his cell phone. His eyes were hazy. When he heard qin ning tell him that he had found the real culprit who wanted to assassinate him, he immediately woke up, got up, washed and dressed, and prepared to go to the company. But when he passed ye zhiqiao''s room, he couldn''t help but stop.


    After kissing ye zhiqiao last night, she fell asleep and went back to her room to sleep. Recalling ye zhiqiao''s soft and sweet lips, the corners of his mouth curled up.


    After gu mohan left for a long time, ye zhiqiao woke up slowly.


    "Ah!" Ye zhi happened to squint in her bed for a while. Her memory of last night slowly came back to life and she suddenly realized where she was.


    She covered her mouth in fear, and her memory lingered on the last time they kissed... As she thought about it, her little face slowly turned crimson.


    "Miss ye zhiqiao, you''re finally awake. Do you want to take a bath? I made porridge for you, and I washed and dried your clothes!" When the servant heard ye zhiqiao''s room moving, he knocked on the bedroom door a few times.


    "That... Last night... I..." Ye zhiqiao wanted to ask what happened to them last night.


    "Miss ye, I didn''t know anything last night. Don''t worry, I won''t say anything! I will keep it a secret for you!" The maid thought that ye zhiqiao was embarrassed, so she quickly stretched out her hands and shook them in front of her, saying that she didn''t know anything.


    Get up and tidy up! I''ll get busy first." Then the maid gave ye zhiqiao another look that you knew and quickly closed the door and left.


    "It''s over, it''s over! This is awkward. How should I face xiao bao and gu mohan in the future?" Ye zhiqiao felt that something must have happened with gu mohan last night, otherwise the servant wouldn''t have done this.


    Walking into the bathroom and opening the shower, ye zhi qiao closed her eyes, and her mind replayed what happened at the ye family last night over and over again.


    After bathing, ye zhiqiao was like a lotus flower, with the smell of a girl all over her body. Her fair skin could be broken by blowing and her wet hair could be scattered down and down. She sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly dried her hair with a towel.


    "Eh? Little treasure is not here, nor is the housekeeper. What''s going on?"


    "Little treasure, she had a fever and was hospitalized yesterday. I could have been discharged today, but the doctor suggested staying in the hospital for another day of observation, so I haven''t come back yet. The housekeeper is with little treasure in the hospital." The servant said and brought over the white porridge.


    "I see! Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." Ye zhiqiao casually drank some porridge, picked up her cell phone and planned to call jian mengqi to tell her about yesterday''s events so as to express her emotions.


    "I''m sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off, please wait a moment..." Ye zhiqiao felt a little strange, at this time the phone actually turned off? That''s not right!


    "Hello, Mr. Ye, can I help you?" Ye zhiqiao dialed the company phone again, and the pleasant voice of the employee''s younger sister came from the other end of the phone.


    "I''m looking for president jian. Why is her phone off?"


    "President jian? She''s not here. She hasn''t been here all day. Isn''t she with you? We can''t reach her now."


    After hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao was worried that jian mengqi was sick, so she immediately went out to find her at jian mengqi''s house.


    Gu mohan''s villa was not far from jian mengqi''s house, and it was only a short drive away. Ye zhiqiao opened the door and got out of the car. When she saw that jian mengqi''s house was still the same, she rang the doorbell skillfully.


    Ding dong! Ding dong..." After waiting for a long time, no one opened the door. Ye zhiqiao took out the spare key that jian mengqi gave her, opened the door, and went in without seeing jian mengqi. There was nothing missing. Looking at this, ye zhiqiao felt that jian mengqi did not come home at all last night.


    Ye zhi coincidentally sat on jian mengqi''s sofa and couldn''t help but frown. Jian mengqi didn''t come home all night. Where on earth would she go?


    She got up and left jian mengqi''s house and drove to her parents'' house. Along the way, she always felt uneasy. I hope she thinks too much.

 Chapter 35 How Could You Have Changed so Much?

    Ye zhiqiao drove for about an hour and finally arrived at the jian family villa.


    The servant at the door saw ye zhiqiao''s car, but he didn''t recognize it at first. He came over and knocked on ye zhiqiao''s window. "Hello, miss. May I ask who you are... May I help you?"


    "Hello, I''m a good friend of jian mengqi. I''m here to look for her." Ye zhiqiao rolled down the window to reveal her small, fair, pink face and said softly with cherry blossom-like lips.


    The servant had already recognized ye zhiqiao by this time. He dared not neglect her and immediately invited her in.


    Ye zhiqiao parked her car and went to the lobby of jian mengqi''s house with the help of a servant. The servant poured tea for ye zhiqiao and told ye zhiqiao, "Please sit down for a while and have a cup of tea. I will inform the master and madam right away."


    "Eh? What about your miss?" Ye zhiqiao felt a little strange, and the uneasiness in her heart became more intense.


    The servant brought the tea to ye zhiqiao and looked at her inexplicably. "Miss hasn''t come back."


    "Mengqi never came back? How... Is that possible?" Since she didn''t go home, where did she go...


    After the servant left, ye zhiqiao sat alone in the guest room, picked up her tea and took a sip.


    Mengqi was not the kind of girl who didn''t go home at night, but she disappeared day and night...


    Just as ye zhiqiao was daydreaming, a strange male voice disturbed her thoughts.


    "Ye zhiqiao?"


    "You are?" Ye zhiqiao subconsciously turned to look at the source.


    A boy who looked a little like jian mengqi was looking at him with a flash of surprise in his eyes.


    This is...


    "Even I forgot! Did this young master become so handsome that you don''t even remember who I am?" The boy walked over carelessly, sat down on the sofa beside ye zhiqiao, crossed his legs and asked her proudly.


    "You are Ling'' an, right? How can you not remember?" Ye zhiqiao said politely with a polite and distant smile.


    In her heart, she had no good feelings for jane Ling'' an. Especially when he landed his eyes on her.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was impatient to exchange greetings with jian Ling'' an, jian mengqi''s parents finally appeared.


    "Zhiqiao? You haven''t come back to visit us for so long! Have you forgotten auntie and uncle?" With an affectionate smile on her well-maintained face, mother jian came over and gave ye zhiqiao a big hug.


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart was warm, and her face could not help but relax.


    "Auntie! It''s my fault I haven''t come to see you." Ye zhi snuggled up to her mother and greeted her father.


    "Why didn''t you let mengqi come back with you? She hasn''t been home for a long time. Call her back and I''ll cook some delicious food for you tonight."


    Sure enough, mengqi didn''t go home. Hearing this, ye zhiqiao''s heart suddenly turned cold.


    "Auntie..." Ye zhiqiao stammered, "I just couldn''t find mengqi to come to you..."


    "Plop, plop!" Jian Ling'' an, who was drinking tea, suddenly broke the cup in her hand.


    "Look at you. You broke the cup again. Can''t you just make a little less trouble?" Mother jian''s face changed when she heard ye zhiqiao say this. She glared at jian Ling'' an fiercely.


    But jian Ling'' an was stunned for a moment, then glanced at ye zhiqiao and said nothing. It happened that ye zhiqiao discovered this.


    "Zhiqiao, what did you mean just now? What happened to my mengqi? Don''t scare me!" Mother jian looked back at ye zhiqiao and asked about jian mengqi worriedly.


    Auntie, don''t worry. Think about where mengqi might go. I''m not sure if anything happened." Ye zhiqiao held jian''s mother and watched jian Ling'' an from the corner of her eyes.


    "Mengqi usually only comes back for dinner once in more than a month. She usually works in the small company that she runs. Since you left, she rarely goes out to play. Besides eating and sleeping, she works all day. Where else can she go? Tell me, where else can she go besides the company?" Mother jian was obviously anxious and held ye zhiqiao''s hand.


    "I remember that she seemed to have something to do with the liu family''s daughter before. I''ll make a phone call and ask. Zhiqiao, wait a minute!" After that, mother jane left in a hurry!


    "Okay! Slow down!" Ye zhiqiao saw that mother jian had left and turned to look at jian Ling'' an, who was playing with her cell phone, as if she was sending a message.


    Jian Ling'' an found ye zhiqiao looking at her, turned off her cell phone immediately, and returned to her usual playful smile.


    "Your sister, jian mengqi, is missing. Don''t you care at all?" Ye zhi coincidentally felt that the more jian Ling'' an looked at him, the more suspicious he became. This guy liked to bully jian mengqi since he was a child, but jian mengqi loved him very much and treated him very well. However, she had heard that her parents wanted her to inherit the family business, so it was very likely that jian Ling'' an would hurt her in order to fight for property.


    "Her? Does she need me to worry about her strong woman? My parents have liked her since she was a child. It''s enough that she''s gone and my parents care about her. It''s none of my business." Jane Ling'' an looked indifferent.


    "You... Your sister is always so nice to you, how can you say that!" Ye zhiqiao was angry at this and pointed at jian Ling'' an with hatred.


    "Cut! Did I force her to do that? Besides, who knows what she''s thinking."


    "To be honest, is it related to you that mengqi disappeared this time? Did you do something to her?" Ye zhiqiao asked jian Ling'' an directly.


    "What are you talking about? Why is it related to me? You can''t just say that. I still have something to talk to you about. I''m leaving." Jane Ling'' an was a little anxious, so she found an excuse to leave.


    "Stop right there. If you don''t make yourself clear, you won''t leave!" Ye zhiqiao grabbed jian Ling'' an''s arm and felt that there must be something wrong with jian Ling'' an.


    "Let go of me! How dare you do this in my house! Don''t think you can take care of me in my house now that you''re different from before. Let me tell you, my father and mother can''t do anything to me in this house!" Jian Ling'' an broke free of ye zhiqiao''s hand and began to warn her to mind her own business!


    "You..." Ye zhi was so angry that she couldn''t speak, but jian Ling'' an left without looking back.

 Chapter 36 Ill Help You Find Out

    "Auntie and uncle, don''t worry too much. Mengqi will be fine. I believe the police will find mengqi soon!" Ye zhi coincidentally sat on the sofa with the silent mother and uncle jian, telling them not to worry, but her heart was not calm at all, waiting for the news from the police afraid that something would happen to jian mengqi.


    Ding dong! Ding dong!"


    "Housekeeper, go and see if the police have brought mengqi back!" Mother jian, whose eyes were sluggish, immediately became nervous when she heard the doorbell. She asked the housekeeper to open the door quickly and couldn''t help following her out. Then ye zhiqiao and father jian hurried out.


    "Hello, president jian, Mrs. Jian. We are here to tell you that we have tried our best, but we regret to tell you that we still haven''t found it!" Two men in police uniforms looked regretful at the door.


    "What! How is that possible? How could I not find it? Did our mengqi disappear from the earth?" Mother jane became a little excited and couldn''t believe her ears.


    "Madam, please don''t get excited. Our police are still looking for miss jane. We are here to ask if you know if miss jane has offended anyone or mentioned where she is going recently." The policeman in charge calmly told mother jane that he wanted to calm her down.


    "My mengqi has always been good to people. How could she have any enemies? You must help me find my mengqi. I only have a good daughter. She has been careless since she was young, but she loves people and is very sensible!" Mother jane was getting more and more agitated and couldn''t help but shed tears.


    "Don''t get excited! We''ll be fine, mengqi." Jian mengqi''s father comforted her when he saw her like this.


    "Auntie, you can rest assured that mengqi will be found intact! Can the police please help me find mengqi as soon as possible? Don''t give up. We''ll find it too. It''s so powerful to have so many people!" Ye zhiqiao comforted jian mengqi''s mother and asked the police not to give up looking for her. She seemed calm, but her fingers had already turned white.


    "Okay! We will. You can rest assured that we will inform you as soon as there is news. If you think of anything, you must inform us immediately!"


    "Okay! We will!"


    "If there''s nothing else, we''ll leave first." After that, the two policemen left the jian family.


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid that mother jian was too sad and bad for her health, so she let him and mother jian mengqi go to rest first, and it was already very late, she was afraid that these two old people would not be able to bear it.


    "Okay! Then I''ll take her to her room to rest, and mengqi will leave it to you first. I''ve already asked the people in the company to look for mengqi, and I hope nothing happens to mengqi!" After jian mengqi''s father told her, she helped her mother upstairs.


    Ye zhiqiao''s intuition told herself that this matter must have something to do with jian Ling'' an, otherwise jian Ling'' an''s expression wouldn''t be like that this afternoon! Thinking about it, ye zhi could not help but frown, even if it was really jian Ling'' an. She had no evidence.


    But a little later, jian mengqi would be a little more dangerous. Suddenly, a person floated through ye zhiqiao''s mind, gu mohan!


    "Hello, Mr. Gu, are you busy? Do you have time to do me a favor?" Ye zhiqiao''s voice trembled a little, because she was really worried about jian mengqi. She couldn''t live without jian mengqi, who was the most important person to her right now.


    "Take your time. Don''t worry. I''ll try my best to help you." A familiar voice came from the phone, and ye zhiqiao calmed down inexplicably when she heard it.


    "It''s mengqi. She''s gone..." Ye zhiqiao told gu mohan everything in one breath.


    "Don''t worry, you''re saying you suspect that this has something to do with her brother, jian Ling'' an! I''ll get qin ning to look into it right away. I''ll find out soon. Don''t worry." Gu mohan knew that ye zhiqiao must be in a hurry and quickly comforted her.


    "Okay! I see. I''m waiting for your news. I''m just worried that something might happen to mengqi." Ye zhiqiao was still afraid that jian mengqi would meet bad people.


    "It''s all right. I''ll investigate and find her right away. It''s so late now. You should go to bed first. There will be news when you wake up tomorrow morning! Don''t worry!"


    "Okay! Then... Good night!" Ye zhi coincidentally heard gu mohan''s words and felt much better in her heart. Her tense nerves finally relaxed.


    "Well, good night!" Gu mohan wanted to say something more, but he didn''t know what to say, so he hung up and quickly told qin ning to do something. It''s interesting that the miss of the jian family is missing and has something to do with her brother.


    Gu mohan had an inexplicable smile in his mouth.

 Chapter 37 It Was Really Him

    "Don''t... Don''t... Don''t hurt her!" Ye zhiqiao woke up again from the nightmare and dreamed of jian mengqi calling her name in the dream.


    "Dudu, dudu~"


    "Hey! Have you found it?" Seeing that it was gu mohan''s call, ye zhiqiao immediately got up from the bed, her eyes shining, and answered the phone.


    Zhiqiao, don''t worry. I found out the results and found that you were right. The disappearance of jian mengqi was really caused by jian Ling'' an. I have found out where jian mengqi is now. Do you want to call the police and let them go now?" Gu mohan''s voice was a little hoarse but energetic.


    "No! Don''t call the police. Jian mengqi loves jian Ling'' an the most. If you call the police, the police won''t let go of jian Ling'' an, and uncle and aunt jian won''t let go of him either." Ye zhiqiao thought for a while.


    "Then I''ll go and save her first. As far as I know, jian mengqi was kidnapped by someone sent by jian Ling'' an with a gun, and she has been abused for two days!"


    "No, I want to go with you! Two days! What else did mengqi go through?" Ye zhiqiao felt her body trembling. When she heard that jian mengqi had been abused for two days, she felt pain all over her body!


    "No! It''s too dangerous. You can''t go. They''re not knives this time, they''re guns! It''s easy. You can''t go. Don''t worry. I''ll bring her back with my seat belt." Gu mohan''s voice was very serious.


    "No! Mengqi needs me now. I have to go. I can''t wait for her at home. I have to go! I have to find him." Ye zhiqiao clenched her fist and said with certainty.


    "Can you not go? I promise you, I will bring jian mengqi back safely. Will you not go? It''s really dangerous." Gu mohan felt like he was pleading with ye zhiqiao.


    "Young master gu, I want to go. I must go. No matter what happens, I will be with mengqi! I will never give up on her!" Ye zhiqiao was not talking calmly to gu mohan, but ordering him to go!


    "All right, I''ll pick you up right now! If you don''t go over there, don''t do anything, okay?"


    "Okay! I promise you!"


    After a while, gu mohan''s car stopped downstairs. Ye zhiqiao hurriedly took care of it after hanging up the phone. She waited downstairs for gu mohan. When she saw gu mohan''s car coming, she immediately got in the car.


    It was just that ye zhi coincidentally did not know that gu mohan had not slept for the whole night in order to investigate this matter as soon as possible.


    "Where is mengqi now? What happened to her?" As soon as she got in the car, ye zhiqiao began to ask gu mohan about jian mengqi.


    Gu mohan helped ye zhiqiao put on her seat belt and started the car.


    "Jian mengqi is now in an old warehouse on the outskirts of the southern district. Her life is not in danger now, but..." Gu mohan held the steering wheel with both hands, thinking in his mind.


    "Jane Ling'' an is a jerk! Mengqi treated him so well, but he did this to mengqi! By the way, I''ll let mengqi''s parents know first, so that they can rest assured that they are dying of anxiety."


    "Okay, I also told qin ning to get someone to get there as soon as possible."


    "Zhiqiao, did she find mengqi? How''s it going? Did anything happen? The police couldn''t find her. What should we do now?" On the other side of the phone came mother jane''s tearful hoarse voice.


    Auntie, don''t worry. I''ve found mengqi. Don''t worry. I''ll be able to bring her back to your seat belt soon. Don''t worry. It''s okay. Don''t worry too much."


    "Really? Where is she now? I''ll send someone over as soon as possible!" On the side, when jian mengqi''s father heard that there was already news of jian mengqi, he rushed over the phone and asked ye zhiqiao about the details.


    "Uh... Uncle, don''t worry. I''ve already sent someone over. It''ll be fine. I''ll take care of it. Don''t worry about you and auntie. I''ll be with you as soon as I hear anything, okay?" Ye zhiqiao suddenly felt that jian mengqi was very happy, and her parents loved her very much.


    "Then I''ll trouble you, Zhiqiao. You must be careful too!" Hearing what ye zhiqiao said, jian mengqi''s parents were relieved.


    "Thank you uncle, I know!" Hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao stared blankly ahead.


    "Mengqi will be fine, right?" Ye zhiqiao seemed to be asking gu mohan, who was driving, and she seemed to be talking to herself. She was not sure whether jian mengqi would be okay.


    Gu mohan held the steering wheel in one hand and placed one hand on ye zhiqiao''s two nervous hands. Gu mohan''s hands were big and warm, completely different from his expression.


    Because it was five o'' clock in the morning, many people were still asleep, and the southern suburbs were originally a wasteland, sparsely populated, with nothing but weeds and wild flowers. When ye zhiqiao and gu mohan arrived, they found that the robber who kidnapped jian mengqi was still sleeping...


    "I''ll sneak in and see if I can bring jian mengqi out. Wait for me in the car! Qin ning''s men should be here soon." Gu mohan told ye zhiqiao when he saw this.


    "Uh... Okay!" Ye zhi coincidentally thought about it and agreed to gu mohan.


    When gu Mohan got out of the car and sneaked in, ye zhiqiao slowly opened the door and followed him in.


    This warehouse was completely abandoned, and no one had come for years. There was dust everywhere. Gu mohan held his breath and tried not to make a sound.


    There were two rooms, one with foam boxes and plastic bags lying on the floor and a few empty beer bottles. Four or five people were sleeping on the floor, making deafening snores. Everyone was very strong. The point was that everyone had a gun on them!


    The other room was locked, and two people were sleeping against the corner of the wall. Each of them had a gun in their hands, as if they were always ready. Gu mohan was sure that the locked room must be jian mengqi.


    Gu mohan observed carefully and found a key on a strong man who was sleeping at the door. He thought that the key would be able to open and close jian mengqi''s door.


    Gu mohan eased his hands and feet and slowly approached the guy, while ye zhi happened to cover her mouth in the distance to watch this scene, afraid of making a sound to wake the people in the room. Gu mohan grabbed the key and slowly pulled it out of the burly man''s pocket. Suddenly, the burly man said something in his sleep. Gu mohan took out the key and walked to the door, putting the key in.


    "Kacha... Kacha..." A series of voices were heard!


    "Who are you?" A strong man suddenly opened his eyes and found that gu mohan was trying to open the door, staring at gu mohan with vigilant eyes.


    With the sound of the strong man, everyone else in the room woke up at the same time. Gu mohan put down the key and retreated.

 Chapter 38 Im Here! No One Will Hurt You!

    "Ouch! There''s a dead bastard coming! You must be tired of living!" All the strong men stood up vigilantly with guns in their hands, facing the sudden appearance of gu mohan. Then a short strong man came out of the strong men, who looked like their leader. "Heh! How dare you come here to save someone? How dare you."


    The strong man''s lips curled into a sneer. He must be tired of living if he dared to make trouble.


    "Big brother, you and I are both doing things for people. This... I can''t help it!" Gu mohan thought that qin ning''s people should be arriving soon, and his eyes lit up. He tried to delay the time, at least to ensure that ye zhiqiao was safe.


    "Oh? What do you mean?" The short and strong man became interested when he heard gu mohan say this and asked with his head.


    "I also took the money to help others with their work, and I don''t want to. After all, I don''t even know who is locked up here. I don''t want to come here at all." Gu mohan pretended to be cold, but he was already worried to death.


    "Oh? What a coincidence! I took someone else''s money to kidnap the girl in the house, but the person who invited you was too stupid! Look at all of us with our backs and waists, what about you? Hahahahahaha... Just your small body, hahaha..." The shorter, sturdy man looked at Mohan''s frailty and couldn''t help but laugh. With that smile, the whole room began to laugh, rippling through the warehouse.


    Gu mo looked at the group of people with a cold face, and he had already planned it perfectly.


    "Big brother! No, there are a lot of cars at the door, and there are a lot of people coming out. This guy was just stalling for time. What are we going to do now?" Suddenly, a strong man with sharp eyes noticed that there were a lot of people at the door of the warehouse, and his face immediately turned ugly. He immediately informed the short man.


    "What? How dare you set me up! I think you''re going to die!" The slightly short man found out that gu mohan had lost his temper after delaying his time. He held a gun in his hand and slammed it against gu mohan''s temple. Because of the plan, the man knew that he was in danger today and his hands were still shaking.


    "Bang!" Suddenly.


    Almost at the same time as the bullet was fired, gu mohan quickly turned around and dodged the shot. After all, the man''s psychological defense had already collapsed.


    Avoiding the bullet, gu mohan quickly ran out the door to meet qin ning. At this moment, even gu mohan, who had been in the mall for a long time, could not calm down and his forehead was sweating.


    Suddenly, gu mohan felt a chill behind him, but before he could turn around, he could only continue to speed up and run towards qin ning.


    Behind gu mohan, someone had already aimed at gu mohan''s head from behind. Looking at his back, the man seemed very confident and could not help but pull the corners of his mouth.


    "Go to hell."


    "No!" Ye zhiqiao, who had been hiding in the corner, saw that gu mohan was about to get shot. She ran out of the room and stood where the bullet came from.


    "Bang!"


    At the same time, the bullet went through the chamber.


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao only felt a pain on her body, and the huge impact made her fall to the ground uncontrollably. The strong man did not aim and hit ye zhiqiao''s left arm.


    "Gu..."


    The moment she closed her eyes, she could not help but recite gu mohan''s name.


    When gu mohan heard the cry behind him, he immediately reacted, turned around, and ran trembling to ye zhiqiao''s side. When he saw her bleeding arm, his heart hurt even more than when he was shot. "Zhiqiao, Zhiqiao, how are you?"


    Gu mohan''s voice was still trembling, but no matter how much gu mohan shouted, ye zhiqiao did not respond.


    Before all the strong men realized where ye zhiqiao had run from, qin ning''s men quickly knocked the door open and barged in, knowing that they all had guns, so qin ning brought anesthetics over specially. Even the strong man couldn''t move after being injected with a tube of anesthetics.


    Gu Mohan picked up ye zhiqiao, who was already unconscious, and ran out like a madman. He put ye zhiqiao in the car and went straight to the hospital. He kept saying something, as if he was talking to ye zhiqiao, but also as if he was comforting himself.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay, it''s gonna be okay. We''re going to the hospital soon..."


    On the other side, when qin ning opened the door and saw jian mengqi, she shrank in a corner. Her whole body was ragged and her hair was disheveled. She looked like a beggar on the roadside.


    Qin ning also sent jian mengqi to the hospital in time to deal with the scene.


    Gu mohan was driving so fast that he almost hit a pedestrian on the road.


    "What''s wrong with you? Didn''t you see anyone? How can I drive!"


    Hearing others scold him, gu mohan couldn''t care less and drove as fast as he didn''t hear them.


    In his heart, nothing was as important as ye zhiqiao''s life.


    Gu mohan felt the hospital and immediately sent ye zhiqiao to the emergency room.


    "Mr. Gu, please sign."


    The attending physician asked gu mohan to sign before entering the operating room, and when gu Mohan heard the attending physician''s words, he took the pen coldly and stared at him as he signed, saying coldly:


    "If you don''t cure her, you can wait for this hospital to close tomorrow!"


    "Yes... Young master gu, I will make her come out healthy and healthy!" The attending doctor''s voice was a little shaky. He had heard that gu Mohan had a bad temper, but he didn''t expect it to be so scary. Then he rushed into the emergency room, afraid that he would miss a little bit of time.


    Seeing the attending physician enter, gu mohan became even more anxious. He kept walking around the door of the operating room and looked into the emergency room from time to time. Recalling the scene of ye zhiqiao falling down just now, gu mohan hated why he didn''t protect her well and how he hurt her again! Why are you so useless? You can''t even protect ye zhiqiao.


    This was the first time gu mohan had done this for a woman.


    After some time, the word "Rescue" in the emergency room finally darkened. Ye zhiqiao lay weakly on the bed and was pushed out by the nurse. Gu mohan looked at the weak ye zhiqiao and frowned.


    "Young master gu, the bullet has been removed, but the patient has lost a lot of blood and needs to rest for a while. The rest is fine. Young master gu, you can rest assured." After the attending doctor came out, he took the initiative to tell gu mohan about his condition.


    "Yes." Gu mohan remained expressionless after hearing this. His eyes followed ye zhiqiao and did not leave for a moment. His expression was extremely cold.


    When the attending doctor saw gu mohan''s dark face, he did not dare to say anything more and walked away weakly.


    Ye zhiqiao had been in a coma for two whole days and had been talking in her sleep.


    "No! Don''t shoot him... Don''t hurt... Gu mohan."


    "Mengqi, where are you? What did they do to you... No! Don''t hit her..."


    "Why are you doing this to me... Why... Why..."


    Every nightmare was filled with sweat and trembling all over. At this time, gu mohan would hug ye zhiqiao, soothe her mind, caress her dark green hair, and tell her again and again in her ear, "It''s okay, it''s okay, I''m here. With me here, no one can hurt you."


    For two whole days, ye zhiqiao was unconscious for two days, and gu mohan stayed by ye zhiqiao''s side for two days.

 Chapter 39 How Happy You Are!

    Ye zhiqiao felt that her eyelids were very heavy, and she tried desperately to open them. Then she smelled the pungent disinfectant, and her head was a little dizzy, and her whole body was powerless. Then she heard someone calling her.


    "Zhiqiao! Zhiqiao? Wake up quickly! You''ve been sleeping for two days!" Seeing ye zhiqiao''s eyelids move, gu mohan stood up excitedly, leaned down and looked at ye zhiqiao.


    Finally, ye zhiqiao struggled to open her eyes and saw gu mohan looking at her nervously. Gu mohan''s dark circles were very heavy and he looked very haggard. But now, gu mohan was not cold at all. Ye zhiqiao felt very warm when he looked at her. He had never felt this before.


    "You... How long did I sleep? Where''s mengqi? How is she?" Ye zhiqiao, who had just woken up, thought of jian mengqi and nervously asked gu mohan about jian mengqi.


    "Don''t worry. She''s also in this hospital. The doctor said she''s fine. She''s just weak and needs to rest. You just have to take care of yourself first." Gu mohan covered ye zhiqiao with a quilt and told her what happened to jian mengqi.


    "That''s good." When ye zhi happened to hear that jian mengqi was fine, she showed a relieved expression.


    "You''ve been asleep for two days. How are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong?" Seeing ye zhiqiao lying lazily on the bed, gu mohan couldn''t help but ask ye zhiqiao about her body.


    "Two days? I slept for two days? No way, I slept so long!" Ye zhiqiao now realized that she had slept for so long and was shocked.


    "That''s right! Let me buy you some porridge!" Gu mohan rubbed ye zhiqiao''s hair and said gently.


    "Okay, thank you!" Ye zhiqiao felt like she was dreaming. Why did gu mohan become so gentle today? Could it be that he was sick and had an illusion?


    Gu mohan nodded and got up to buy porridge for ye zhiqiao, leaving her behind.


    Ye zhi coincidentally looked at gu mohan''s back and was a little dazed.


    "Eh? Miss, you''re awake. You''re finally awake." Not long after, a pretty little nurse in a pink dress and hat appeared. When she saw that ye zhiqiao was awake, she greeted ye zhiqiao with a smile.


    "Yes, did I sleep for a long time?" Ye zhiqiao also smiled.


    "I''ve been asleep for two days! But I think you''re so happy!" The little nurse suddenly showed a very envious expression and looked at ye zhiqiao.


    "Ah? Happiness?" Ye zhi happened to be confused.


    "That''s right! Your boyfriend has been with you every day for the past two days, taking good care of you. You still have nightmares all the time. Every time he holds you in his arms, he is so handsome and loves you so much. Where did you find such a good boyfriend? How come I don''t have such a good life!" A regretful smile appeared on the little nurse''s face.


    "Little key! Where did you go? The patient in room 5 rang the bell. Are you deaf?"


    "All right, all right! I''m coming. I''ll be right there." The nurse immediately returned to reality, complained a few words and said goodbye to ye zhiqiao, then left in a hurry.


    Ye zhi coincidentally listened to the little nurse''s words and her face became a little hot. She thought of how gentle gu mohan was to her just now, didn''t she? He really...


    "I bought you porridge. The doctor said you can''t drink anything else. You should drink this first!" Gu mohan suddenly walked in with some porridge in his hand.


    Gu mohan sat by the bed and fed ye zhiqiao spoonfuls of food. Ye zhiqiao was a little confused. She was the first person to treat herself so well since she was a child.


    The light congee in his mouth was so delicious at the moment.


    "Is the patient''s family in room 10 here? The patient in room 10 woke up." Halfway through the meal, another nurse knocked on the door and asked.


    "I am. Her parents are back to rest! I''ll be there soon." When gu mohan heard this, he knew that it was jian mengqi who woke up.


    "Is it mengqi?" Ye zhiqiao heard the light in her eyes.


    "Yes! It''s mengqi. Let me help you over." Knowing that ye zhiqiao was anxious to see jian mengqi, she wanted to take ye zhiqiao to see jian mengqi together.


    "Okay, thank you!"


    Jian mengqi opened her eyes weakly. She remembered that a few days ago, a few men in black took her into the car without saying a word and punched and kicked her.


    It was a nightmare, a nightmare that could never be forgotten.


    "Mengqi, how are you? Is there anything wrong? How do you feel?" Seeing jian mengqi lying alone in bed, ye zhiqiao felt a little heartbroken.


    "Zhiqiao, what''s wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital?" Seeing ye zhiqiao''s jian mengqi''s tears immediately flowed from the corner of her eyes, so many grievances were finally released.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. Mengqi, don''t be afraid. It''s okay now." Seeing jian mengqi like this, ye zhiqiao was especially heartbroken. Sitting at the bedside of jian mengqi to comfort her, her eyes turned red.


    It turned out that mengqi and herself were in the same boat.


    "Zhiqiao, what happened to your shoulder? Why are you wearing a hospital gown? What happened?" Jian mengqi found that ye zhiqiao was also very weak, and her shoulders were bandaged.


    "It''s okay, careless... Careless..." Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to tell the truth, afraid that jian mengqi would blame herself.


    "Did they shoot you? Right? Why are you so stupid! This is a shoulder injury. If... If something happens... What do you want me to do?" Jian mengqi choked, blaming ye zhiqiao for being too careless.


    "It''s really okay. Look, I''m fine now! It doesn''t hurt at all, does it?" Ye zhi coincidentally opened her shoulder, indicating that she was fine.


    Seeing this, she threw herself into ye zhiqiao''s arms. She did not expect that it was not her parents who saved her, but ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan looked at the two of them huddled together and did not know what to say.


    After some time, both of them calmed down. Ye zhiqiao hesitated and opened her mouth.


    "Mengqi, you... Do you know who kidnapped you this time?" Ye zhiqiao still couldn''t bear to tell the truth to jian mengqi. After all, jian mengqi was so good to jian Ling'' an, and she really didn''t want to make jian mengqi sad anymore.


    "Zhiqiao, stop it. I know everything. I know who it is. I... I don''t blame her!" Jian mengqi knew that ye zhiqiao was good to her. Of course, she knew who did this.


    "Mengqi, you... Do you really want to just let it go? What if, what if there''s another time? Don''t you have to teach him a lesson?" Ye zhiqiao was shocked, and after hearing it, she felt that she couldn''t let jian Ling'' an go like this.


    "Zhiqiao, I really don''t blame him. After all, he''s my brother. He didn''t let them hurt me directly this time. He just hurt me a little. I think he still has me in his heart, and I''m fine now." Jian mengqi held ye zhiqiao''s hand.


    "But..."


    Zhiqiao, promise me not to tell anyone about this! Let''s just go!" Jian mengqi looked at ye zhiqiao pleadingly.

 Chapter 40 After All, He Was My Brother

    Ye zhiqiao looked at jian mengqi''s pleading eyes, but she could not resist, so she had to compromise, "Hey! Mengqi, why are you so stupid?" Then ye zhiqiao hugged jian mengqi again.


    "Zhiqiao, I knew you were the best to me!"


    Suddenly a familiar voice came.


    "Ouch! My mengqi, how are you feeling? You''re awake. Do you know how worried I am about you? What the hell is going on? I was scared!" Jian mengqi''s mother said anxiously with tears in her eyes. Just now, gu mohan called the jian family. After hearing this, the jian family rushed over, but this time, jian Ling'' an also came.


    "Mom! I''m fine!" Seeing how concerned her family was, jian mengqi was moved to tears. She felt very happy to have such a family, even though jian Ling'' an treated her like this.


    "Auntie, take your time. I''ll go out with gu shao first." Ye zhiqiao felt that this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to stay any longer, and she was afraid that she would not be able to resist exposing jian Ling'' an if she stayed any longer. Seeing the face of jian Ling'' an, ye zhiqiao could not wait to rush up and strangle him to death!


    "Okay, Zhiqiao, you should get some rest and get well." Jian mengqi thought it would be better if ye zhiqiao left, otherwise she was really afraid that zhiqiao''s character would say it.


    Then ye zhiqiao and gu mohan went out. Gu mohan held the weak ye zhiqiao all the way, taking care of her very carefully. Ye zhiqiao suddenly thought of what the little nurse said to her, and her face turned red again.


    "Mengqi, what''s going on? Who did it? And kidnapping with a gun!" Jian mengqi''s father couldn''t help it any longer. After ye zhiqiao left, he immediately began to ask about jian mengqi''s true likeness. His eyes seemed to be burning with fire.


    On the side, jian Ling'' an''s face immediately changed. She looked at jian mengqi for help, and she knew that jian Ling'' an was looking at her.


    "Dad, I... I''m scared! I... I don''t want to recall that memory anymore. I don''t want to know who they are!" Jian mengqi hesitated for a moment, but only hugged her father and said with tears that she was afraid. Jian mengqi felt that this hug was the warmest hug in the world.


    "My poor child, you really suffered. At that time, when I saw you, I was scared at first sight. My whole face was pale. Who was so cruel? The doctor said you had multiple bruises on your body, and they didn''t give you water or food for two days in a row! Listen to dad and think about who did it. Dad will help you make them pay double!" Jian mengqi''s father, a man nearly 50 years old, actually started to cry too. Thinking of what his daughter had suffered, he really wanted to skin that man!


    "Dad! Stop it! I... I feel terrible!" Seeing her father crying for her, jian mengqi was really sad, but she knew that she couldn''t let them know the truth, or else jian Ling'' an wouldn''t be staying in this house!


    "Ouch! Don''t force her anymore. Mengqi finally woke up and asked her to recall that experience, so don''t let her think about it!" Mother jian, who was standing by, saw how painful jian mengqi was and couldn''t help it anymore. "Mengqi, don''t worry about your father. Just forget about it! Don''t ever think about it again!"


    Mother jian held her hand and gently stroked it. "As long as you''re fine, I won''t ask for anything!"


    "Hey! All right then! Let''s wait for mengqi to get better! But this can''t just be over! I will find out who the murderer is!" Seeing her daughter being hurt like this, jian mengqi''s father really couldn''t stand it. He would never give up looking for the real culprit.


    Next to him, jian Ling'' an never dared to speak. He remembered that when he was young, he fought with his sister, and he always won, but his father would always scold jian Ling'' an. Jian Ling'' an couldn''t understand why he was the youngest in the family and he was a boy. Why did the company of the jian family not let him inherit, but gave her this daughter, jian mengqi? Jian Ling'' an was not convinced. He had no way to swallow it!


    "Sis, are you okay?" Jian Ling'' an felt that he needed to say something at this time, because he was not sure if jian mengqi knew that he was the one who hurt her.


    "It''s okay, I''m fine, sister is fine now! Have you been studying hard in college recently? You''re almost graduating. How are you doing?" Jian mengqi was still very concerned about jian Ling'' an. Even though jian Ling'' an did those things to her, she still reached out her hand and wanted to hold jian Ling'' an''s hand.


    "Just him? If only he was half as easy as you. I went to college and brought a girlfriend home a week. I''ve been working a little more lately. I''ll see what I can do!" On the side, jian mengqi''s father was furious when he heard jian mengqi mention the university of jian Ling'' an.


    "How do you know my grades are bad? What''s wrong with me? Always targeting me! Only she, jian mengqi, is your daughter. I am your dog for the day, right?" When jian Ling'' an heard her father talking to her like this again, the already unhappy jian Ling'' an became even angrier! She clenched her fists and stared at jian mengqi. After saying this, she angrily opened the door and left. The sound of the door closing was especially loud, as if she was about to collapse the house. Jian mengqi felt her bed shaking.


    "You... You little brat!"


    "Ouch! Don''t get angry in this hospital, eh! How could there be such a son!"


    Looking at this scene, jian mengqi put down her outstretched hand and secretly wiped her tears.


    ...


    The jian family stayed until night and went back.


    "Mengqi, why didn''t you expose him? Still protecting him like this, what should I do next time? Do you think you can''t think for yourself?" Seeing the jian family leave, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but persuade jian mengqi all the time.


    "Zhiqiao, this is the only brother I have, and... And he''s still young, so he''s bound to make some mistakes! I really don''t blame him." Jian mengqi comforted ye zhiqiao.


    "You... Then you should at least stay away from him and report to me on time every day. Do you hear me?" Ye zhi happened to have no choice but to follow jian mengqi.


    "Yes! My queen!" Seeing that ye zhiqiao agreed to him, the two of them started fighting again.


    "Ah! I will not spare you!"


    "No! No, it''s itchy!"


    ...

 Chapter 41 Your Parents Are so Beautiful!

    Half a month later, both ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi recovered. They were going to be discharged from the hospital this day. Both of them put on a beautiful makeup, held hands, and their faces were filled with happiness. Although they were hospitalized, they had fun every day, as if they were on vacation instead of recuperating.


    Gu mohan walked behind to help ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi carry their things. These days, he had no idea what kind of creature a woman was.? How could it be so noisy?


    "Miss jian, you''re out of the hospital!" A familiar voice came from behind, and both of them turned around at the same time.


    "Qin Baiye! Why are you here?" Jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao said this at the same time, even the expression was the same!


    "Hahaha! You two look like conjoined twins now! Are you two compatible? Hahaha..." Qin Baiye couldn''t help laughing when she saw ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi like this.


    "Are you itchy? Believe it or not, we''ll kill you!" Seeing Qin Baiye smile so much, jian mengqi became angry.


    "Don''t! Two heroes! The servant knows he''s wrong. Since I''ve been away on business for so long, please forgive me for picking you up as soon as I get back!" Qin Baiye knelt on one knee and held his hands together, looking pitifully at jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao.


    "That''s more like it! Hmph, Zhiqiao, let''s go!" Jian mengqi was a little pleased to see Qin Baiye like this.


    Then Qin Baiye got up from the ground and ran to grab gu mohan''s luggage. "Come on! Leave such a small matter to me! I haven''t come to see them for so many days."


    Gu mohan saw that Qin Baiye had suddenly become like this. He didn''t know what medicine Qin Baiye was selling, so he had to give Qin Baiye his luggage obediently.


    Just like that, the two girls were talking and laughing in front of them. The two boys were following them with their luggage in the back. Gu mohan saw how happy ye zhiqiao was talking to jian mengqi. He felt that he was willing to spend his whole life protecting this smile.


    Then Qin Baiye offered to send jian mengqi home. Both jian mengqi and gu mohan were stunned. Only ye zhiqiao gave Qin Baiye a bad smile.


    "Okay, okay, you can take her home! But I won''t spare you for anything!"


    "Ok! Don''t worry about me driving!" Qin Baiye rushed to put jian mengqi''s luggage in his car.


    "What the hell? Zhiqiao, you sold me like this? This is too much!" Jian mengqi glanced at ye zhiqiao and reluctantly got into the car.


    "Bye-bye! Goodbye!"


    "Let''s go. I''ll take you home first, then pick up little treasure from the treatment center. She''s been there since her fever last time. It''s been a long time since she went to see him. The housekeeper has been with her all the time." Gu mohan said as he opened the door for ye zhiqiao.


    "No way! It''s all my fault. You''ve been so busy taking care of me these days that you don''t have time to take care of little treasure. I''ll go with you. I haven''t seen her in a long time. I miss her too."


    "This... Okay! Little treasure will be very happy to see you." Although gu mohan hesitated for a moment, he still agreed to ye zhiqiao.


    Soon they arrived at the city''s largest children''s treatment center. The two of them went in together.


    "Auntie, when will my father come? Why does he always come?" The sound of little treasure''s milky voice was heard from far away.


    "Your father said he would be here today. Little treasure, we are going to wear beautiful clothes to see dad today, okay?"


    "Yeah! That''s great!"


    "Little treasure!" Gu mohan opened the door and saw little treasure getting dressed in the nurse''s arms and dancing.


    "Ah! Dad! Do you know magic? Just when I said you were back, you came!" Little treasure ran out of the nurse''s arms and ran towards gu mohan.


    Today, wearing a pink princess dress, little treasure revealed two short white legs, running up and down, trying not to fall down, looking especially cute!


    Gu mohan stretched out his hands and held little treasure in his arms dotingly.


    "That''s right! Dad always knows magic! Look who I brought back to you!" Gu mohan pinched little treasure''s face in a mysterious way.


    "Hmm? Who?" Little treasure''s eyes shone, looking at gu mohan expectantly.


    "Little treasure? Do you remember me?" Ye zhiqiao suddenly jumped out of the door and gave little treasure a big surprise.


    "Ah! Aunt ye!" Little treasure immediately broke away from gu mohan''s arms and ran to ye zhiqiao. He threw himself into ye zhiqiao''s arms and gave her a kiss.


    Leaving gu mohan alone.


    Aunt ye, I haven''t seen you for a long time! Where did you go? I miss you so much!" In ye zhiqiao''s arms, little treasure had been expressing how much she had missed ye zhiqiao recently.


    "Little treasure, you... You forget your father!" Gu mohan pretended to be angry and looked at little treasure.


    Little treasure stuck out his tongue at gu mohan. "No! No! Daddy, I miss you too!" Then he turned to ye zhiqiao, "Auntie, did you miss me?"


    Gu mohan shook his head helplessly.


    "Auntie ye, I want to go to the amusement park. I haven''t been there for a long time. Dad doesn''t have time to take me. Can you take me?" Little treasure played with ye zhiqiao''s long dark green hair with her two little hands and played coquettish with ye zhiqiao.


    "Uh... Okay! But you have to promise auntie, you have to be good!" Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a moment, but when she thought about how long xiao bao had been in the hospital, she felt that it was time to take her to play.


    "What about you?" Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao turned their heads at the same time and looked at gu mohan. "Are you going to work with us or with us?" Little treasure blinked at gu mohan strangely.


    Gu mohan shook his head helplessly. "Okay! I''ll be with you today, okay?"


    "Yeah! Great, great!" Little treasure was dancing happily in ye zhiqiao''s arms, and he was still mumbling something in his mouth.


    "Auntie, I want to play with that, that, and that!" As soon as he arrived at the amusement park, little treasure excitedly pointed her pinky little finger at all kinds of amusement facilities.


    Gu mohan looked at the two of them from behind and thought that the picture of ye zhiqiao holding little treasure was quite beautiful!


    "Okay, okay, don''t worry, let''s play together, okay?" Ye zhiqiao doted on little treasure and looked at the amusement park filled with the laughter of children, and ye zhiqiao''s mood became especially good.


    "Come on, little treasure, hurry up!" They began to play with the bumper car. Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao sat in one car, while gu mohan sat alone in one.


    "Ah! Dad is bad!" At first, gu mohan drove his car over and little treasure screamed in fear.


    "Let''s hit him too, haha! He can''t run away!"


    "You bully more than you bully less!"


    "Ah! Hahahaha..."


    "Hahahaha..."


    They all smiled happily. Neither ye zhiqiao nor gu mohan knew how long it had been since they had laughed so happily.


    "Sister, sister, can you take a picture of our family?" The tired little treasure suddenly ran to a strange girl with a camera and looked at her pleadingly.


    "Sure, wow! How cute you are, little boy! Can sister give you a kiss?" The strange girl lowered her head and found little treasure''s cute little ball. She couldn''t help but kiss little treasure.


    "Come, come here and take pictures of us!" After being kissed, little treasure pulled the corner of the strange girl''s clothes and walked towards ye zhiqiao and gu mohan!


    "Little treasure, what... Are you doing?" Ye zhiqiao was shocked to see this.


    Little treasure didn''t say anything and ran straight to ye zhiqiao''s side. "Hug me! Dad, get closer!" After everything was ready, little treasure said to the girl again, "Sister, you can shoot now!"


    "It''s done. Your parents are so beautiful! No wonder you''re so cute!" The girl looked enviously at xiao bao and ye zhiqiao, gu mohan.


    "Er..." Ye zhiqiao wanted to say something, but when she saw how happy little treasure was, she didn''t say anything.


    "That''s right! Thank you, sister! Just give the picture to my dad." Little treasure smiled smugly.


    "Okay! Little friend, sister is gone! Bye! May your family be happy forever!" Then the strange girl disappeared into the crowd.


    Little treasure smiled with satisfaction, his face brimming with happiness. Gu mohan thought it was a good idea to marry ye zhiqiao home.

 Chapter 42 Why Cant You Even Take Care of Little Treasure!

    "Little treasure, how can you be so noisy?" Ye zhiqiao looked helplessly at the smirking little treasure.


    Little treasure playfully stuck out his tongue, looking innocent.


    "Little treasure, you play with daddy first. Can I go to the toilet?" Ye zhi happened to see the toilet in front of her and poked the little treasure in her hand.


    "Okay, got it. You go!" Little treasure reluctantly released ye zhiqiao''s hand.


    "Come on, daddy''s holding you." Gu mohan stepped forward and pulled little treasure.


    "All right! Auntie, come back quickly!" Little treasure still looked at ye zhiqiao reluctantly.


    "How much do you hate me? How can this be, you little scoundrel!" Gu mohan looked at little treasure jealously.


    "I won''t tell you! Besides, I''m helping you! I can''t take the initiative all the time. You always disappoint me!" When little treasure saw ye zhiqiao walking away, he said to gu mohan with a serious face, especially like a little adult!


    "You..." Gu mohan did not know what to say for a moment.


    "Daddy, I want ice cream!" Suddenly, little treasure''s eyes lit up when he saw the ice cream truck not far away! Tugging at the corner of gu mohan''s clothes, he screamed excitedly.


    Gu mohan turned around and saw the ice cream truck. Suddenly, he wanted to eat it himself, but little treasure''s body...


    "No way! Little treasure, can you eat ice cream? What if you get sick?" Gu mohan squatted down and rubbed little treasure''s hair.


    "Dad, just give it to me! Just one, just one! And auntie ye definitely wants to eat too. Buy one and surprise her!" When little treasure saw that gu Mohan refused to feed himself, he had an idea and moved ye zhiqiao out.


    "But... Then you can only eat a little!"


    "Okay! I promise!" Little treasure''s happy eyes were like crescents!


    Then gu mohan bought three, one for himself, one for little treasure, and one for ye zhiqiao. Both of them were smiling and eating delicious ice cream.


    "Why hasn''t aunt ye come out yet?" Little treasure''s mouth was full of ice cream, and he didn''t forget to ask about Mohan ye zhiqiao.


    "I don''t know!" Gu mohan finished eating in one go and looked at the melted ice cream in his hand.


    "Dad... I..."


    "What are you eating?" Ye zhiqiao came out of the toilet and looked at the father and daughter. She felt a little funny and held an ice cream in her hand.


    "I... I..."


    "Little treasure! Are you okay?" Ye zhiqiao saw that little treasure was shaking and was about to fall down. She was so anxious that she ran to little treasure like a madman.


    When gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao''s expression, he realized that there was something wrong with little treasure. He lowered his head to find that little treasure had fallen to the ground.


    "What did you feed her? Little treasure! Little treasure..." Ye zhiqiao complained as gu mohan picked up little treasure.


    "I... I gave her ice cream... I... Let''s go to the hospital!" Gu mohan suddenly remembered that he should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.


    Then ye zhiqiao grabbed the unconscious little treasure and hurriedly got into the car.


    ...


    "What did your parents do? She is not in good health, how can she eat ice cream! She''s suffering from acute appendicitis! I have to operate on her right now!" The doctor first complained about gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, then turned to the emergency room.


    "If anything happens to little treasure, you... I won''t let you go!" Ye zhiqiao said something to gu mohan angrily, then turned around and kept fidgeting.


    "I... I..." Gu mohan was there like a child who had made a mistake.


    After some time, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. The doctor in a white coat took off his mask and said, "Don''t worry! The child is fine now. Just take good care of her and remember not to give her any more of this."


    "All right, all right, doctor. I know all about it. We''ll take care of it in the future. Thank you, doctor. You''ve worked hard." Ye zhiqiao thanked the doctor and hurriedly turned to see little treasure. Gu mohan could only follow ye zhiqiao silently.


    Little treasure was lying on the hospital bed pitifully, with her eyes closed and sleeping peacefully. Ye zhi coincidentally saw such a little treasure and felt very heartbroken. She was still so small, ah!


    Gu mohan also wanted to go up to see little treasure, but ye zhiqiao kept blocking gu mohan.


    "You should reflect on yourself. If you don''t, don''t touch little treasure! How can you be a father? How dare you give her ice cream with little treasure''s body like this?" Ye zhi qiao was so angry that she looked at the poor little treasure.


    "I... I know I was wrong!" Gu mohan lowered his head, as if a primary school student had made a mistake and was waiting for the teacher to criticize him.


    "Uh... Auntie... I want auntie ye!" Little treasure suddenly moved his finger and thanked ye zhiqiao weakly.


    "Little treasure! Are you awake? Where is aunt ye? Does your stomach still hurt? Don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, auntie is here!" Ye zhiqiao hurried back to little treasure.


    "Auntie! I... What''s wrong with me? Am I not at the amusement park?" Little treasure''s voice was hoarse as he turned her little eyes and stretched out his little hands.


    "Baby, you''re sick after eating ice cream! Auntie told you not to eat ice cream anymore! Or else you''ll get sick again!" Ye zhiqiao put little treasure''s little hand back into the quilt, helped her cover the quilt, and looked at her painfully.


    "How are you feeling, little treasure? Is there anything..." Gu mohan saw that little treasure was awake and wanted to go up and comfort her.


    But ye zhiqiao stood up and turned around to block gu mohan from approaching little treasure.


    "It wouldn''t have happened if it weren''t for you, little treasure! It''s all your fault, little treasure! Hurry up and stand aside and reflect on it. You are not allowed to touch little treasure during her illness. Do you hear me?" Ye zhiqiao said word by word to gu mohan angrily.


    Little treasure was fine, and gu mohan was completely relieved.


    This matter looked at ye zhiqiao, whose red lips were closing and closing, and he suddenly felt that she was so cute.


    "Then... Then I will reflect on it!"


    As he spoke, gu mohan took a step closer to ye zhiqiao, hugged her in his arms and kissed her red lips.


    Ye zhiqiao widened her eyes and blushed.


    Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Only little treasure was sitting alone on the bed, covering his mouth and looking at the two people in front of him hugging each other affectionately.

 Chapter 43 Let Me Show You What a World-class Design Is

    "Cough, cough... Dad, aunt ye! Are you guys done? Although I don''t mind, can''t I just kiss while I''m asleep? I''m so shy!" Little treasure covered his face and interrupted the intimacy between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    It was only then that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao realized that they had been ignoring little treasure for a long time.


    "I... That... You..." Ye zhiqiao became a little incoherent.


    "Dudu, dudu..." Suddenly ye zhiqiao''s phone rang, interrupting the awkwardness.


    "Hello? Mengqi, what''s the matter? Why are you calling me at this time?" Ye zhiqiao blushed slightly and still pretended to be calm.


    "Zhiqiao, have you finished the design draft that''s going to be released recently? Now that the company is in a hurry to use it, where are you?" Jian mengqi did not have the usual mischief, talking about the company became unusually stable and capable.


    "I''ve done it. It''s in the drawer of my office. I''ll leave it to you right now!" Ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered this matter, hung up the phone and rushed to leave.


    "Little treasure, be obedient! Auntie is going to work. Can I play with you when auntie is done?" Ye zhiqiao picked up her bag and said goodbye to little treasure as if she didn''t see gu mohan.


    "Okay! I see! Auntie, slow down on the road!" Little treasure was still very sensible. Seeing ye zhiqiao so anxious, he obediently said goodbye to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao kissed little treasure on the forehead and left.


    "Hey! Dad, why are you so useless? Aunt ye left again. Little treasure looked at gu mohan, who was still standing there, and could not help but complain about him.


    "That''s right! Why is dad so useless? Why did everything change the moment she appeared?" Gu mohan walked up to little treasure and pinched his face.


    Little treasure rubbed his little face and lay back on the bed. "You said she would be my mother, right?" It was like he was talking to himself and asking about Mohan.


    Gu mohan did not answer little treasure, but silently said in his heart, "Yes!"


    When ye zhiqiao returned to the company and opened her office, she found that his office was in a mess. Apparently, someone had rummaged through it. Ye zhiqiao''s face changed greatly. She immediately ran to her desk and opened the drawer. Sure enough! The design is missing. It looks like someone stole it on purpose! Who could it be?


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the scene and tried to keep herself calm. She didn''t say anything to anyone or pay attention to the mess in the office. She just silently picked up the blank paper and pen from the ground and sat at the table.


    The next morning, ye zhiqiao rubbed her tired eyes and looked at the design draft that had just been completed on the table with satisfaction. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had driven out the new design draft overnight, otherwise something big would happen!


    "Zhiqiao! What happened? How did this happen!" Jian mengqi, who had just come to work, passed by ye zhiqiao''s office. She opened the door and was frightened by the scene in front of her! In the messy office, ye zhiqiao sat in the middle, rubbed her eyes and looked at the things on the table with satisfaction.


    "Mengqi, you''re here. I forgot to tell you. I don''t know who stole my design draft. I just finished drawing a new one, and it''s even better than the last one!" Ye zhiqiao said to jian mengqi with a smile.


    "No way! Zhiqiao, why are you so stupid! It was drawn overnight! We can postpone it! Can you bear it with your health?" Jian mengqi ran to ye zhiqiao''s side, blaming ye zhiqiao for rushing the script overnight.


    "It''s okay! Anyway, I''m used to staying up late. Besides, how can I delay it? Then there''s no credibility." Ye zhiqiao said indifferently.


    "Who is so bold? How dare you steal from me!" Jian mengqi suddenly thought.


    "I don''t know. I didn''t think much about it and drew another one. And the one with a little flaw in the design is useless. Leave him alone!"


    "No! I must find out!" Said jian mengqi firmly.


    "Let''s start with a product launch! I''m afraid someone will steal it again. I don''t want to stay up late!" Ye zhiqiao had to change the subject.


    "Yes, yes, yes! I''ll inform you right away. I''ll forget if you don''t tell me!" Then, jian mengqi hurriedly left.


    Zhiqiao, go take a bath and eat something. Go and take a good rest! Don''t tire yourself out! I''ll be heartbroken." Before leaving, I didn''t forget to remind ye zhiqiao to have a good rest.


    "Ok! I will!" Ye zhi made a good move for jian mengqi, so she left with ease.


    Ye zhiqiao sat alone at the table, rubbing her temples and thinking about who did it?


    "Dudu..." Suddenly her phone rang. Who could it be? So you called early in the morning?


    "Hello? Ye zhiqiao! Can you tell who I am?" A disgusted voice came from the phone. Of course, ye zhiqiao remembered.


    "I definitely remember! Why did ye yiyu call me? Shouldn''t you be at home and take good care of your baby?" Ye zhiqiao sneered.


    "Cut! I''m here to tell you that my eldest lady is going to hold a press conference on the finished product, and I''m going to ask you, a world-class designer, to give me some advice!" Ye yi said proudly, as if he wanted the whole world to know.


    "Oh? Really? Is it that hard to get pregnant?" Ye zhiqiao thought this was too coincidental! His design draft had just been stolen, and ye yiyu was looking for him to attend the product launch, wasn''t it? Was it really her? I didn''t think she would be hateful enough to do that, did she...


    "What happened to ye zhiqiao? Are you afraid to come? Afraid that my design is better than your world-class design, afraid of losing my face? Ha ha ha ha..." Ye yiyu''s hideous laughter came over the phone.


    "Miss ye yiyu called me personally. How could I not go? Don''t worry, I''ll be there on time. It just so happens that I''m going to hold a product launch, and you have to come! Let me show you what a world-class design is!" Ye zhiqiao emphasized the last few words! Deliberately infuriating ye yiyu.


    "You want it too? Great! Then I''ll wait! Ye yi language on the other side of the phone obviously stopped for a moment, as if she didn''t believe what ye zhiqiao just said.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled meaningfully.

 Chapter 44 Worthy of Being a World-class Designer

    Welcome to my yeyi language product launch! This design was inspired by the latest french fashion show! I used the combination of chinese and western..."


    Ye yiyu''s finished product launch was held before ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu on the podium and proudly told her design concept, and the more she listened, the more familiar she felt.


    "Now I''m going to show you my finished product!" Ye yiyu started with a smile on her face, and the next scene made everyone in the room boil.


    Behind the curtain was a fiery red knee-length dress with chinese cheongsam patterns at the collar and a fiery phoenix embroidered with colored thread at the chest, making the wearer extremely eye-catching. The waist of the dress was very slim and could perfectly show the girl''s willow waist. The skirt was full of various patterns embroidered by hand, and the cuffs and hem were made of foreign lace materials.


    The eyes of everyone present lit up! They immediately cheered for it, and the color of ye yiyu''s dress was also very appropriate. It was a hot summer day, and this dress was not only well designed, it could be said that it was all designed for this season.


    "Wow! Ye yiyu''s design is getting better and better!"


    "That''s right! That''s right! The design of this dress is perfect!"


    "I heard she''s pregnant, isn''t she? It''s so hard to get pregnant! How dedicated!"


    "But why do I look a little familiar with this design habit?"


    There was a lot of noise, and people were talking louder and louder. Of course, most people were praising ye yiyu''s works.


    Only ye zhi happened to take a look at the dress, then showed such an expression, calmly holding a glass of wine, watching everyone''s behavior and listening to their thoughts. Ye zhiqiao suddenly felt that her current actions and eyes were a little like gu mohan''s! How could this be?


    "Yo! Isn''t this the creator of the world''s famous designer'' wake up''? I didn''t expect a world-class designer like you to be able to see my little work! It''s really rare!" Ye zhiqiao was only thinking about gu mohan, but she did not notice when ye yiyu suddenly appeared in front of her with a glass.


    Ye yiyu''s words perfectly presented ye zhiqiao, who had never been found in the corner before. They all looked at ye zhiqiao with expectant eyes, because ye zhiqiao''s eyes had always been as magical as a legend. Today, they were very excited to see her in person.


    "Originally, I really didn''t want to see your little work, but you, a pregnant designer, personally called me over. How could I not come? Even if I don''t give you face, I will give your unborn child face! Are you right?"


    When ye zhiqiao saw ye yiyu being so unkind, she did not leave any face for her anymore, and people like her had no face to speak of. So ye zhiqiao straightened her back and looked at ye yiyu with her beautiful peach blossom eyes.


    The people present took a deep breath when they heard ye zhiqiao say this. They didn''t expect the founder of "Mengxing" to be so bold and openly provoke ye yiyu at the press conference. Moreover, everyone knew that ye yiyu was not easy to provoke, which made the people present admire ye zhiqiao''s courage and courage. She was truly a world-class designer.


    "Then I won''t have to thank you for giving me face!" When ye yiyu saw ye zhiqiao like this, she picked up a glass of wine on the table with a fake smile and walked towards ye zhiqiao. "Come on! Let me give you a toast to the world''s designers!"


    Looking at ye yiyu''s hypocritical appearance, ye zhiqiao felt a little nauseous, but she still took the wine from ye yiyu and drank it all in one gulp.


    "I think that''s all for this press conference! I still have something to do, so I won''t waste my time here!" Ye zhiqiao couldn''t stand the atmosphere here, so she just found an excuse to leave.


    "You..." Ye yiyu didn''t expect ye zhiqiao to be so patient, but it was not easy for her to say anything when so many people were around her, so she just stomped her feet in anger.


    The whole venue became a little awkward for ye yiyu. Everyone was surprised by ye zhiqiao''s behavior, but ye yiyu kept smiling and trying to calm herself down. But in her heart, she hated ye zhiqiao. Ye yiyu looked at ye zhiqiao''s back and gritted her teeth angrily. You wait for me. I will make you unable to get up in one day!


    Ye zhiqiao walked out of the venue and saw the sapphire blue sky and the warm sunset. It was only now that the hot summer was the most comfortable moment. Why should I lose my good mood for ye yiyu in such a good time?


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao strode out of here and headed for the hospital.


    When ye zhiqiao arrived at the hospital, she carried little treasure''s favorite mango pudding and walked to little treasure''s ward. Thinking about little treasure, she smiled happily.


    When ye zhiqiao opened the door, she saw gu mohan lying beside little treasure''s bed and sleeping soundly. Little treasure was lying quietly on the bed, with his eyes closed sweetly and his mouth closed like a small ball in an animated cartoon, which was especially cute.


    The sleeping gu mohan revealed a handsome side face, delicate features, wheat-colored skin, a high nose bridge and long, raised eyelashes that girls would be jealous of.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at this gu mohan and was lost in thought.


    Suddenly, gu mohan''s long eyelashes moved, as if he had sensed ye zhiqiao''s arrival. He slowly opened his eyes and saw ye zhiqiao looking at him without moving. Then he turned to look at little treasure who was still asleep. He smiled at ye zhiqiao, lowered his voice and said to ye zhiqiao, "You''re here!"


    "That''s right! I... I was worried about little treasure, so I came to see her." Ye zhi coincidentally saw gu mohan''s smile and felt so warm that she was a little incoherent.


    "Thank you!"


    "It''s okay, that... Go back and rest for a while. I''ll take care of little treasure for you." Thinking of gu mohan lying on the bed just now, ye zhiqiao offered to take care of little treasure.


    "This... Can you?" Gu mohan was a little worried.


    "I can, don''t worry!" After ye zhiqiao finished speaking, she gently looked at the little treasure lying on the bed.


    "Okay! Then little treasure will trouble you." When gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao''s expression, he thought of the way little treasure looked at ye zhiqiao and felt that he had no need to worry about giving little treasure to ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 45 Even Young Master Gu Dared to Hurt Him. Are You Tired of Living?

    "Young master gu, can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you." Qin ning suddenly appeared in the hospital, interrupting their warmth.


    "Qin ning? What is it? Why is it so urgent?" Seeing qin ning like this, gu mohan knew something was going to happen. He frowned.


    "Come out first!" Qin ning looked at ye zhiqiao in the room and winked at gu Mohan.


    Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao and left.


    Ye zhiqiao also felt that something must have happened. When she saw them in a hurry, she wanted to say something, but she couldn''t cut in, so she had to watch the two of them go out.


    "Young master gu, I interrogated the thug who was going to assassinate you that night, and I switched the cameras nearby. I found that the people who were following you and trying to assassinate you recently were all the same people, all sent by the Dong shi group." Qin ning told gu mohan word by word.


    "I should have guessed it a long time ago! It must have been that Dong Jianlin again!" When gu mohan heard this, his face changed and he punched the wall.


    "Master gu, what are we going to do next?" Qin ning was also shocked to see gu mohan like this. Although gu mohan had a bad temper, he had never been so angry before...


    "What should we do? Hmph! Have you found all the evidence?" Gu mohan calmed down for a moment and remembered something important.


    "Don''t worry about that. I''ve found all the evidence."


    "Okay! You take a few people, let''s go!"


    "Okay! I''ll arrange it right away." After that, qin ning turned around and left.


    Gu mohan walked back to the ward. "There''s something I need to take care of in my company. I''ll leave little treasure to you."


    "Okay! Don''t worry." Ye zhi coincidentally replied to gu mohan with an expression that she did not need to worry about.


    Gu mohan turned around and left the ward. After he left, a man in black suddenly appeared. Through the glass on the door, ye zhiqiao could only see a shadow, but she didn''t know who it was. She thought she might have gone to the wrong ward, so she decided to get up and see who it was.


    "Hey! You..." Ye zhiqiao just opened the door and wanted to ask if the man had gone through the wrong door, but the man hurriedly turned around and left. Ye zhiqiao saw the strange expression on the man''s face and felt very strange, but she had never seen the man. Who was that dress?


    "Uh... Dad... Dad, where have you been? I''m afraid..." Suddenly, little treasure woke up and shouted for her father, completely interrupting ye zhiqiao''s train of thought.


    "Ah! Little treasure, you''re awake! Your father is busy. Can auntie accompany you?" Ye zhiqiao hurried back to the ward and picked up little treasure who was about to cry.


    "Aunt ye! You''re here. I miss you so much. I just dreamed about you!" When little treasure saw ye zhiqiao, the peach blossom eyes with tears suddenly became bright and he held ye zhiqiao and refused to let go.


    "Auntie brought you your favorite mango pudding!" Seeing such a good little treasure, ye zhiqiao took out the pudding she bought for him.


    "Ah! Auntie! I love you the most!" Little treasure looked at ye zhiqiao expectantly.


    At this time, gu mohan and qin ning, who were on the other side, brought a few tall and handsome bodyguards to the Dong shi group with a wave of killings.


    "Mr. Gu, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist at the front desk suddenly ran out and blocked their way.


    "No, but we rarely see people in your Dong shi group. Do you still need an appointment?" Qin ning stepped forward and said coldly to the receptionist.


    "But... But, you also have to make an appointment, our dong..." The front desk was shocked by qin ning''s words, but still wanted to stop gu mohan and the others.


    "Go away, we don''t have time for your nonsense!" Without a word, qin ning pushed her aside and took the elevator to the top floor. Without knocking, she broke in.


    "Ah!"


    "You... You... What are you doing?" Dong Jianlin was flirting with his secretary, who was startled by gu mohan''s sudden entrance. Seeing this, the secretary knew it was not a good thing and immediately ran out of the office.


    Dong Jianlin had a typical beer belly and a very lewd skin pouch, which made people look disgusted. Seeing gu mohan and the others suddenly barge in, he froze for a moment, then immediately calmed down and sat cross-legged on the chair.


    "Hmph! Dong Jianlin! You still have the nerve to say why you keep trying to hurt us, gu shao! How dare you!" Qin ning walked up to Dong Jianlin and said angrily to Dong Jianlin.


    Oh? I want to hurt president gu? Qin, you can''t just say that! Tell me, why did I hurt president gu? "Dong Jianlin took out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, lit it up, took a puff, and then puffed out a cloud of white smoke, with a comfortable and satisfied expression, which made people look particularly disgusted, and then turned their eyes to gu mohan." President gu, why does he always have a dark face? Come, sit down, let''s have a good chat!"


    "Hmph! Dong Jianlin, for so many years, our gu family has been at loggerheads with your Dong shi. Your dong family has been oppressed by our gu family, but I still let you live. I didn''t expect you to be so ungrateful!" Gu mohan actually sat down and faced Dong Jianlin, intending to reason with Dong Jianlin.


    "Ouch! That''s right! I also know how generous you are, so how can I hurt you? I think there must be some misunderstanding!" Dong Jianlin still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.


    "Qin ning, bring me the usb drive!" Gu mohan, without even looking at Dong Jianlin, grabbed the computer on Dong Jianlin''s desk, plugged qin ning''s usb into it, and opened a video.


    "Then explain to me what this is?" Qin ning pointed to the video on the computer and questioned Dong Jianlin.


    The video showed Dong Jianlin and the gangster secretly discussing something under the streetlight that night, then Dong Jianlin got in the car and drove away.


    Dong Jianlin didn''t know what to say when he saw this.

 Chapter 46 Maybe I Can See Her One Last Time When I Go Back Now

    "Then... Then what does it matter? I''m just going to... Arrange something for him. What else can I prove?" At this point in time, Dong Jianlin still refused to admit that he was dead, and he had been struggling to the death.


    "You..." Qin ning was so angry at dong jianlin that she didn''t know what to do.


    "Young master gu! If you don''t take him away and teach him a good lesson, see if he still dares to talk tough." He turned around and said to gu mohan.


    "No, just call the police. Why waste your energy on something that the police can solve." Gu mohan waved at qin ning, telling him not to do that.


    "Okay! Beating him would be a waste of energy. How dare you be stubborn in front of the police!" Qin ning felt that what gu mohan said made sense, and it was a waste of energy and time to fight directly. So he took out his cell phone and called the police.


    Seeing this situation, Dong Jianlin was a little anxious. He stood up and stammered, "That... President gu, I... I want to go to the bathroom. Let me... Go to the bathroom!" He was about to run out the door.


    "You want to run and get it?" Two tall bodyguards at the door immediately blocked Dong Jianlin''s way and stared fiercely at Dong Jianlin who was trying to escape.


    "No, you... You misunderstood me. I... I just..." Dong Jianlin was so scared that her legs were weak and her hands were shaking in front of her chest.


    "President dong, I think you should stay in this room before the police arrive! Otherwise, my brothers are not vegetarians!" Qin ning said to Dong Jianlin with a cold face.


    Gu Mohan had been playing with the potted plants on Dong Jianlin''s table, not paying any attention to Dong Jianlin''s actions.


    Soon the police arrived, and a leading officer walked up to gu mohan. "Gu shao, is it president dong who wants to murder you?"


    Gu mo han did not raise his head, but nodded gently.


    Just nodding, the police ordered the two men to handcuff dong jianlin. "President dong, please cooperate with our investigation!"


    "Why are you arresting me? That was all his lies! I''m telling you..." Dong Jianlin finally started to panic and struggled, but his fat body couldn''t break free from the two strong police officers.


    Gu mohan walked up to Dong Jianlin and whispered to him, "I wish you a good stay inside!" After that, he sneered. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Dong Jianlin smiled and lowered his voice to gu mohan''s ear.


    "Gu mohan, do you think you won? Hehe! You should go and see your precious daughter! I guess I can still see her for the last time! Hahaha..." After that, Dong Jianlin laughed like crazy!


    When gu mohan heard this, his face changed greatly and he immediately got up and ran out. "Get out of here! Get out of my way!" As he ran, he roared at the people blocking his way.


    "Ah!"


    "What are you doing? You must be crazy!"


    The people in the company were shocked to see gu mohan like this.


    "What''s wrong with young master gu?" The bodyguard at the side also looked at gu mohan who had run away strangely.


    "Something must have happened. You guys follow the police to the police station to make sure that Dong Jianlin is sent to the police station. Come with me, you guys. Let''s go with young master gu and see what''s going on!" Qin ning rationally allocated the number of people, then left the company with a few people, and followed gu mohan in the direction he left.


    At this time, in the hospital on the other side, little treasure had just finished eating pudding, and his face was full of happiness.


    "Is little treasure delicious? How can you eat so much! Did you eat a little too much? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?" Looking at the empty pudding boxes that little treasure had finished, ye zhiqiao was a little worried that she would not eat too much and touched little treasure''s soft stomach with her hand.


    "No, no! Aunt ye bought the best food! I''ll eat it next time!" The little treasure who was full became restless. Originally, the little treasure who was sitting on the bed stood up and hugged ye zhiqiao who was sitting by the bed. He gave ye zhiqiao a big hug and danced with his hands and feet.


    "Hello, it''s time to give the patient an injection!" While little treasure and ye zhiqiao were having a good time, a nurse in a pink nurse outfit with a pink nurse cap and pink mask came in, carrying a needle and medicine.


    "Hello... You... Why do you feel so strong?" Ye zhiqiao looked at the nurse and felt that she always gave a strange feeling. The nurse''s uniform she was wearing obviously didn''t fit her at all. She felt that she was stronger than the other nurses, and her voice was a little strange.


    "I came from the countryside. I grew up doing farm work and my family raised me like a man. That''s normal." The nurse''s voice was very low, and she ignored ye zhiqiao''s question and kept making the medicine. Ye zhiqiao nodded as if she didn''t understand.


    "Woo... I don''t want it! I don''t want an injection. I don''t want an injection!" Little treasure saw the nurse holding such a long needle and burying her head in ye zhiqiao''s arms, looking like she was about to cry.


    "Ouch! Little treasure is good! It takes an injection to get better quickly! Be good, little treasure must be strong!" Ye zhiqiao hugged little treasure, patted her back gently, and kept comforting little treasure.


    "Woo... No! The injection was too painful!" Little treasure still refused to compromise and kept drilling into ye zhiqiao''s arms, looking as if he would die without an injection.


    "Nurse, what does she do all the time?" Ye zhiqiao looked helplessly at the nurse who had been preparing to give xiao bao an injection. At this time, she was ready, holding a long needle tube in one hand, and looking at xiao bao in ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    "Don''t worry about her. Just hold her down and don''t move!" The nurse did not take into account the feeling that little treasure did not want to get an injection, so she slowly walked towards little treasure.


    "Ah! How can a nurse do this? This way, little treasure will be scared!" Seeing that the little treasure in her arms was already trembling and the nurse didn''t take it seriously at all, ye zhiqiao began to be anxious and held the little treasure tightly in her arms with both hands.


    "It''s okay, aren''t all children like this? It''ll be done in a minute. Come on, give way. I''ll be done in a minute!" The nurse was a little anxious and wanted to snatch little treasure from ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    "Ah! You... How could you be so strong!" The nurse grabbed ye zhiqiao''s hand with one hand and tried to snatch little treasure away. But ye zhiqiao held little treasure tightly. Moreover, ye zhiqiao found that the nurse was extremely strong.


    Suddenly, the nurse took out a knife. She thought that ye zhiqiao would let go and was ready to stab xiao bao, but ye zhiqiao''s first reaction was to protect xiao bao behind her. At the same time, she lowered her head and closed her eyes in fear.


    "Bang!"


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao, with her eyes closed, heard a rough opening of the door and another scream, then the rest of the sound was little treasure''s crying and her own heartbeat.

 Chapter 47 You Almost Hurt Yourself Again

    Feeling her body surrounded by warmth, she heard a bigger and more intense heartbeat. Ye zhiqiao tightened her grip on little treasure and slowly opened her eyes.


    Before her eyes was the chest in a black shirt. Ye zhiqiao took a breath subconsciously and smelled the man''s perfume on gu mohan. It seemed to smell of sweat, but it didn''t stink at all. Instead, it gave off a comforting warmth.


    Knowing that it should be safe now, but still worried about little treasure, ye zhiqiao gently earned a little, and the shackles on her body slowly loosened.


    "Little treasure?" Before ye zhiqiao could take care of Mohan, she lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms. She seemed to have been frightened and cried her heart out.


    Little treasure was really scared just now. The tall and strong nurse sister insisted on giving her an injection. After aunt ye stopped her, the nurse actually took out a knife.


    After all, it was a child, and she was scared silly at that time. She was hugged by ye zhiqiao and only knew to cry with her eyes closed.


    Then gu mohan suddenly opened the door and burst in, kicking the nurse into the corner. She was still huddled there, clutching her stomach and screaming.


    Little treasure saw this through the gap in ye zhiqiao''s arm, and then saw gu mohan quickly walk over and hold her and ye zhiqiao tightly in his arms. The original fear was immediately soothed, and little treasure gradually stopped crying.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that little treasure who looked up at her didn''t cry, but her big eyes were red and she was still burping uncontrollably. Her heart softened at once. She reached out to wipe the tears on little treasure''s face and raised her head to ask, "What should I do? Little treasure must be scared... What should we do?"


    Gu mohan was a man, and because of the power of the gu family over the years, he had already experienced a lot of life and death, and now of course, he would not be as panicked as ye zhiqiao. He roughly looked at xiao bao''s situation and comforted him, "Xiao bao is not so fragile. She is stronger than we thought. I will ask the doctor to give her a comprehensive examination later."


    With that, gu mohan bent down on his knees and held little treasure''s soft hand. He looked at her and asked, "How''s it going? Is daddy''s little treasure afraid? It''s dad''s fault. Dad didn''t protect you well."


    Little treasure still couldn''t stop sobbing, but his mood had obviously calmed down, "Little treasure... Little treasure was scared just now... But... Aunt ye will protect me, dad... Come and protect me, little treasure... Not afraid now."


    Gu mohan touched little treasure''s head with relief and said softly, "You are indeed my little treasure."


    At this time, qin ning had already arrived with his men. Seeing the scene in the ward, without gu mohan''s explanation, he understood what had happened.


    "Gu shao, what about this person?"


    Gu mohan glanced at the man in the corner, narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Since her boss is in the police station, she should be loyal to him, but..."


    Thinking of the scene when he rushed into the ward just now, gu mohan still couldn''t help but feel frightened. He was one step away. If he came one step later, then little treasure and ye zhiqiao...


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and did not dare to think about it anymore. Instead, he said in a low voice, "But her behavior is more hateful than his boss''s. Even if she goes to the police station, she shouldn''t just let it go."


    Because of little treasure''s presence, gu mohan did not make his words so clear, but qin ning, who had been following him for many years, immediately understood what he meant and nodded, "Don''t worry, gu shao."


    Gu mohan nodded, then told the bodyguard behind qin ning, "Take little treasure for a full body examination and bring two more people with you."


    "Yes." The bodyguard in a black suit agreed, then reached out to take little treasure from ye zhiqiao''s arms, held her firmly in his chest, and walked out of the ward.


    After asking gu mohan if there was anything else, qin ning and a few other people also left, leaving only gu mohan and ye zhiqiao in the ward.


    "Shall we go and have a look?" Although there were several professional bodyguards following her, ye zhiqiao could not be at ease after the dangerous scene just now.


    "The examination room is next door. Don''t worry."


    Because of little treasure''s health, he often came to the hospital, so gu mohan had already reserved this ward on the same floor as the examination room and the doctor''s office for years in case of emergency.


    Hearing gu mohan''s words, ye zhi''s heart finally relaxed. But... Why did the atmosphere in the ward feel so strange?


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously raised her head to look in the direction where gu mohan was. She did not expect her gaze to collide with his.


    Gu mohan frowned slightly. His dark eyes seemed to be darker now, and his lips were pursed into a straight line. He had been looking at himself for a long time.


    "What... What''s wrong?" Ye zhiqiao asked, only to find her voice trembling imperceptibly.


    "You still know to ask me?" Gu mohan walked towards her step by step.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know why she felt a little guilty. She shrank back and asked softly, "What happened?"


    Gu mohan walked to the bed where ye zhiqiao was sitting, leaned down and looked into her eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Did you know that you almost hurt yourself again?"


    Ye zhiqiao was so afraid of gu mohan''s current appearance that she subconsciously shrank back and finally climbed down from the other side of the bed and stood on the ground.


    From a safe distance across the bed, ye zhiqiao calmed down a little and explained, "I didn''t mean to, but that person wanted to hurt little treasure. What can I do?"


    "You don''t have a brain, do you?!" Gu mohan''s voice suddenly rose by eight degrees, scaring ye zhiqiao.


    "You should at least take care of yourself before you protect others, or else you might even be involved in protecting others.!"


    "I..." What he said did make sense, and ye zhiqiao had no way to refute it, so she had to go along and say, "I know, I know this truth..."


    "Do you know how to do this again and again?!"


    Gu mohan was really angry. This was not the first time he had seen ye zhiqiao almost get hurt. He felt as if his whole heart was being held tightly by a hand, both painful and afraid.


    "I''m sorry."


    After some time, ye zhiqiao''s soft voice came.


    "I was wrong. I''m sorry. I promise I won''t do it again. Can you stop being angry?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her with watery eyes, like a clear spring. Gu mohan''s anger was like a balloon blown up. Suddenly, it was pierced by a needle, and all his anger was gone.


    "As long as you remember." Although he could not get angry again, gu Mohan did not know how to face ye zhiqiao for a moment, so he had to remind her stiffly.


    "I will definitely remember this time." Seeing that his appearance seemed to have dissipated, ye zhiqiao hurriedly promised.


    Feeling unable to continue the topic, he asked, "So... What happened this time? Can you tell me?"


    "Yeah." Gu mohan, who had been busy all the way here, was also tired. He sat on a stool casually and said, "It was the Dong shi who did this. The last person who attacked us on the road was the one they sent. Today, I just got the news to deal with this. I didn''t expect Dong Jianlin to have a backup. He didn''t even let little treasure go."

 Chapter 48 Bring Little Treasure to My House

    "Then... Will it be..." Ye zhiqiao asked worriedly.


    Dong Jianlin had already been taken away by the police, and the rest of his men, gu mohan, had basically grasped it, but... He still couldn''t take it lightly. After all, this time, it happened because of his temporary relaxation.


    Gu mohan pondered for a moment and suggested, "Dong Jianlin has been in the circle for so many years. I''m not sure yet if he will stay behind. I''m really worried about little treasure''s dangerous situation today. Why don''t you come back to my villa with little treasure for a few days?"


    Ye zhiqiao was obviously startled by his proposal and asked doubtfully, "If you''re worried about little treasure, just take her back. I... It''s not appropriate for me to come with you, is it?"


    "There''s no way to eat without little treasure. She''s just getting better recently. I don''t want her to go back to her original state, and..." Gu mohan tapped his fingers rhythmically on his lap a few times before continuing, "That day on the road and today at the hospital, your appearance should be remembered. I''m not sure they won''t be able to do anything about little treasure, but they''ll turn to you. There are bodyguards around my villa all day. It would be safer to keep watch."


    "I..."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was still hesitating, gu mohan continued, "Little treasure likes you very much, and your feelings for little treasure are very deep. Can you rest assured if you separate like this?"


    Gu mohan was right. Ye zhiqiao was indeed worried about xiao bao. After spending so much time together, she had even regarded xiao bao as her own child and separated him like this. She could not bear to let xiao bao go back to the days when he lived on liquid food and nutrient solution.


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao finally stopped struggling and agreed. Anyway, gu mohan''s villa was very large and had so many rooms that it was no different from staying in a hotel for a business trip.


    Of course, gu mohan would not know that ye zhiqiao regarded his home as a hotel in her heart, but as long as she could agree, she had achieved her goal, and nothing else mattered.


    Xiao bao, who came back from the doctor, was extremely happy to hear the news. He took ye zhiqiao''s hand and confirmed it again and again.


    "It''s true, it''s true!" Ye zhiqiao took her little hand and walked towards the hospital door, teasing her, "If you don''t concentrate on walking, you''ll have to go back to the hospital and lie down if you fall."


    Sure enough, little treasure was intimidated. She didn''t want to go back to the cold ward. She quickly closed her chubby mouth, looked at her feet and walked carefully step by step.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Gu mohan, who was standing by the car waiting for the two of them, inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth.


    Gu mohan''s villa was far away from the city center and the environment was quiet and fresh. Even though it was the rush hour after work, there were not many people along the way, and they arrived at their destination without a hitch.


    Before getting out of the car, little treasure said he was hungry. Ye zhi coincidentally asked gu mohan where the kitchen was and went straight in to prepare dinner.


    Although there were servants in the villa, ye zhiqiao politely declined her help. Little treasure should prefer to eat his own food.


    Sure enough, when ye zhi coincidentally brought four dishes and a soup to the table, little treasure''s eyes narrowed into a slit.


    "Auntie ye, shrimp..." Little treasure pouted his butt on the dining table, but the spoon in his hand could not reach the plate containing tofu shrimp.


    Gu mohan couldn''t bear to look at it, so he scooped up a spoonful and put it into her bowl, "Sit down and eat well. Aunt ye has washed her hands. Tell dad what you want to eat. Dad will help you."


    Little treasure obviously ignored what he said, staring at the smooth tofu and shrimp in the bowl and eating with a spoon.


    Although she had seen it many times, she was still surprised every time she saw gu mohan. Why did little treasure eat what ye zhi cooked so skillfully? And it tasted so good.


    While thinking about it, ye zhiqiao had already washed her hands and returned to the dining table. Seeing that gu Mohan had not touched his chopsticks, she asked shyly, "Is it not my taste? How about aunt Li make you another one?"


    Aunt Li was a servant in the villa, and she always cooked gu mohan''s three meals a day.


    "No." Gu mohan quickly replied and explained, "I just found it incredible that little treasure ate so well."


    Hearing him say this, ye zhiqiao relaxed and smiled, "Haven''t you seen him many times?" Then he looked at little treasure, who was sitting beside him and eating heavily, and said, "Little treasure, don''t eat too much tonight. If you like it, auntie will cook it for you tomorrow. Auntie will fill a bowl of porridge for you later, okay?"


    Little treasure''s hand holding the spoon paused, looked up at ye zhiqiao confusedly and asked in a low voice, "Why can''t you eat a lot? I like this."


    Little treasure was still in a daze and looked aggrieved to see that ye zhi qiaoxin was about to melt, but he still hardened his heart and said, "It''s getting late today. If you don''t have time to eat, you have to go to bed. If you eat too much, you won''t be able to digest it. Little treasure''s stomach will hurt."


    Stomach? Little treasure reached out and rubbed his soft stomach, thinking that his stomach was really pitiful. If he ate less, he would be hungry. If he ate more, he would feel pain.


    Gu mohan watched the interaction between the two of them, watching the night outside the window and the home-cooked dishes on the table, and his heart sank. So this is what it feels like to be at home. It turns out that having a woman at home can really make you feel warm.


    "Ah - dad! - Help - aunt ye!"


    Ye zhiqiao ran out of the room and happened to see gu mohan running over as well. The two of them looked at each other and rushed directly into xiao bao''s room.


    Little treasure was lying on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, his forehead was covered in sweat, his short arms were waving wildly, and his mouth was still screaming.


    It was a nightmare.


    Ye zhiqiao ran in front of her and quickly sat down at the head of the bed. She pressed little treasure''s arm and pulled her into her arms. She gently coaxed him, "Little treasure, little treasure, wake up. Don''t be afraid. Don''t be afraid. Daddy and aunt ye are here with little treasure."


    With ye zhiqiao''s comfort and gentle shaking, little treasure gradually calmed down, stopped crying, and slowly opened his eyes.


    Two black grape-like eyes circled around ye zhiqiao and gu mohan. With the confusion that had just woken up from their sleep, they said softly, "Auntie ye, I had a nightmare. It''s scary." There was a slight tremor at the end of the note, and it was indeed quite frightening.


    Gu mohan took a towel from the bathroom in the bedroom and wiped the sweat off little treasure''s face and body. Then he said, "Little treasure, rest assured. Aunt ye and I will wait until you fall asleep before we leave."


    Little treasure grabbed ye zhiqiao''s arm and refused to lie down. He said coquettishly, "I''m still afraid. Can aunt ye sleep with little treasure?"


    After that, before ye zhiqiao could say anything, he added, "And little treasure takes a bath every day. He doesn''t smell at all."


    Ye zhiqiao laughed. Facing such a little treasure, how could she say no? She nodded and agreed.


    Then he turned to gu mohan and said, "In that case, I''ll stay here and sleep with little treasure. You''ve been tired all day. Go back and rest early."

 Chapter 49 Ye Zhiqiao Took over the Dong Family

    The weather was very good today, and even the night was especially refreshing. The full moon hung high in the night sky, elegant and bright. The stars in the sky were not covered by any clouds. All of them flashed out their heads. The neon in the center of the city in the distance gradually extinguished, making the night sky look even more dry and natural.


    Gu mohan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the time in the lower right corner of the computer.


    It''s one o'' clock in the morning.


    He stood up from his chair. After hours of work, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and neck. After a few random exercises, he turned off his computer and prepared to go back to his room to rest.


    The study and bedroom were on the second floor. Gu mohan''s bedroom was next to the study and could be reached in a few steps.


    However... Gu mohan walked to the bedroom door and couldn''t help but take a look at it.


    Little treasure''s bedroom was on the other side of the stairs.


    The door was gently pushed open, but there was no sound at all. Gu mohan walked in with light footsteps. Through the curtains, he could see one big and one small sleeping soundly on the big bed under the faint moonlight.


    Little treasure leaned into ye zhiqiao''s arms and fell asleep sweetly. He did not know what he had dreamt of. There was still a faint smile on his lips. Gu mohan lowered his head and kissed her little face.


    Then, his eyes turned to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao''s long hair spread out and fell casually on the pillow. One hand was protecting little treasure and the other was lying on her stomach.


    His sleeping posture was elegant.


    Gu mohan thought to himself.


    He took a step forward and squatted down beside ye zhiqiao, carefully observing her eyebrows.


    Her skin was very white, and she might not be able to see it at night, but she could still feel the softness and delicacy. Although her usually clear eyes were closed at this moment, it still made people feel beautiful.


    Gu mohan''s heart stirred and he quickly withdrew his gaze.


    It''s not a good thing to do this while others are asleep, like a voyeur.


    Gu mohan cursed himself in his heart, then stood up abruptly and raised his legs to leave. But his feet felt as if they were stuck to the ground, and he could not take a step.


    He scolded himself again, and then gu mohan squatted down again, near ye zhiqiao''s face...


    Feeling a slight itch on her forehead, ye zhi coincidentally frowned, turned over and continued to immerse herself in her sleep.


    "Young master gu."


    As the knock on the door rang, gu mohan looked up from his computer and said, "Come in."


    Dressed in formal clothes, qin ning pushed the door open and entered the office, placing a document in front of gu mohan.


    "Mr. Gu, this is a Dong shi acquisition contract."


    Gu mohan picked up the document and flipped through two pages. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So fast?"


    Qin ning smiled and replied with a hint of disdain, "Dong Jianlin went in, and the whole Dong shi fell apart. The price we offered has already made those registered shareholders very happy."


    Gu mohan nodded in agreement.


    Qin ning hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Mr. Gu, you are already overwhelmed by our company''s current affairs. This time, with another Dong shi, can you still take care of it?"


    Gu mohan raised his eyelids and glanced at qin ning. Qin ning immediately lowered her head and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. I''ve overstepped the rules."


    "I know you''re thinking about me." Gu mohan stood up and patted qin ning on the shoulder.


    "You''ve been with me for so many years. Don''t I know you? Don''t worry, I have other plans for this Dong shi."


    "Let me take over the Dong shi?!" Ye zhiqiao widened her eyes and looked at the elegant man drinking coffee in front of her, her face full of disbelief.


    "I... I don''t have any experience in this area, and why should I take over the company from you?"


    Gu mohan put down the cup, crossed his long legs, and said slowly, "Based on the fact that you have helped me and little treasure, is this a good reason?"


    "But..." Ye zhiqiao frowned and looked embarrassed, "I am willing to help you. You know how much I like little treasure. I didn''t do this to make you repay me."


    "Of course I know."


    "Then you..."


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lip and stopped talking.


    Gu mohan pushed the contract in front of ye zhiqiao and explained, "You don''t have to be pressured. It''s written very clearly on this contract. It''s just for you to manage the Dong shi. Gu group is still its biggest shareholder. There are many branches of the gu family that operate in this way."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "I know, but I still feel that this is taking advantage of you."


    Gu mohan pondered for a moment and then said, "To be honest, I did give you the Dong shi to repay you. I don''t deny that. But you have to know that I am a businessman. If you have no positive impact on the future development of Dong shi, then how can I rest assured of doing so?"


    "You mean..."


    "You woke up in a dream." Gu mohan looked into ye zhiqiao''s eyes and said in a serious tone, "You are an internationally recognized designer. You have this ability, so I am relieved to give it to you."


    Sensing the seriousness and seriousness in gu mohan''s tone, ye zhiqiao straightened her back and asked, "Do you really believe me?"


    "Of course." Gu mo smiled coldly, his mouth slightly raised and his eyes narrowed like little treasure, which could warm all the coldness and bring people confidence and hope.


    Ye zhiqiao also smiled and nodded, "Okay."


    Ye zhiqiao officially renamed the Dong shi "Mengxing group." After discussing with jian mengqi, she became independent from the studio she worked with.


    All kinds of formalities and details kept ye zhiqiao busy. She had to prepare food for little treasure according to three meals a day every day. After a few days of getting up early and getting dark, she lost eight pounds.


    Jian mengqi pinched her tiny arm and said sarcastically, "Who told you not to follow your sister and have to split up? Now you''re all right. You know you''re tired, right?"


    Little treasure held ye zhiqiao''s waist and did not let go, "Aunt ye, little treasure misses you. Little treasure hasn''t slept with you for a long time."


    As for gu mohan, every time he saw her, he would frown and teach her a lesson, "Work and life should be separated. You can''t just focus on work. You can''t stand it if you have a long time. Come to me if you have any problems. I''ll help you deal with them."


    At this time, ye zhiqiao would secretly complain in her heart: it sounds like you can separate your work and life, and I don''t know who sleeps later than me every day.


    "Hoo!"


    Ye zhiqiao threw her whole body on the bed, closed her eyes and buried her head in the pillow, not even having the strength to take a bath.


    It''s finally over!


    All the preparations have been completed, and only after the press conference in three days has been successfully held, mengxing group will be able to get back on track.

 Chapter 50 Miss Dong, Dong Yueyue

    "The news conference of mengxing group is officially held!"


    With the introduction of the host, ye zhiqiao and the major shareholders of mengxing group entered one by one, taking their seats in the glaring lights and noisy discussions.


    Ye zhiqiao was wearing the white formal dress she had designed herself, her dark green hair neatly curled up like seaweed, and her eyes were clear and confident.


    When she sat in the middle of the seat, the crowded venue quieted down, and the reporters focused their cameras on her, then held their breath and looked forward to the internationally renowned designer''s "Dream awakening" today.


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at gu mohan on her left, who made a "Please" gesture to her.


    After a slight smile, ye zhiqiao reached out to adjust the microphone in front of her and began to prepare a long speech.


    "Hello, everyone. I am ye zhiqiao, and I am also the designer''mengxing''. I welcome you here again. The main content of today''s press conference is..."


    Ye zhiqiao did not look at the prompts on the table at all. What she wanted to say had already been deeply imprinted in her heart. At this moment, she was capable and dignified, full of confidence.


    The entire venue was silent, only ye zhiqiao''s powerful voice was transmitted to everyone''s ears through the microphone.


    "Okay, that''s all for now. The reporters can ask questions in the next few minutes."


    The staff walked down to the stage and handed the mobile microphone to the person who raised his hand.


    "Miss ye zhiqiao." A shrill female voice sounded.


    All eyes were fixed on the tall, blond-haired woman in the second row of the venue.


    "Will you answer any questions?"


    The girl''s words clearly meant something, and ye zhiqiao slightly frowned.


    Gu mohan leaned forward to ye zhiqiao and whispered, "This is Dong Jianlin''s daughter, Dong Yueyue. She should be here to find trouble. You don''t have to worry. I''ll ask the bodyguards to pull her out."


    "Ai-" ye zhiqiao reached out to stop gu mohan from directing the bodyguards. She looked at Dong Yueyue and said, "It doesn''t matter. Now that I''m in charge of the group, I''ll handle this myself."


    Ye zhiqiao turned around, faced Dong Yueyue, and answered calmly, "Of course, as long as it is related to mengxing group, I will answer it."


    Dong Yueyue looked at Mohan, then raised his eyebrows and looked at ye zhiqiao. "Hmph," he said, "Okay, I guess the people around you just told you who I am, right? Then I won''t speak in secret. I''m Dong Jianlin''s daughter, Dong Yueyue, the miss of the Dong shi group!"


    "Ah--"


    "So it''s the Dong shi''s daughter!"


    "What''s the use of a daughter? Didn''t her father go in?"


    "You can''t say that. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She and mengxing are enemies today. Maybe something will happen!"


    "Right, right, right, right, right! It''s time to talk!"


    The reporters were whispering and speculating about the purpose of Dong Yueyue''s visit today.


    Dong Yueyue felt the microphone and raised his chin, "Ye zhiqiao, you framed my father and imprisoned him, causing my Dong shi to collapse and disintegrate. Now you still have the face to hold a press conference here, to openly take the Dong shi into your pocket, to transform it into a dream group, and to satisfy your own dirty selfish desires. Are you shameless?!"


    The cameras below the scene clicked and the flash flashed at a high frequency. The reporters all focused on ye zhiqiao and waited for her reply.


    "Dynasty change, the strong are supreme." Ye zhiqiao quietly looked into Dong Yueyue''s eyes and said slowly, "Not to mention your little Dong shi."


    "You used the money your father earned from your childhood to eat, drink, play, and splurge. You probably don''t know anything about the Dong shi at all, so let me tell you today."


    Ye zhiqiao took a document from the assistant behind her, flipped through a few pages, and then stood on the table facing Dong Yueyue.


    This was ye zhiqiao''s rough summary of the situation of the Dong shi when she was doing the preparation work. She didn''t expect it to come in handy.


    You can take a good look. This is the overall trend of Dong shi in the past five years. From this report, it seems that Dong shi''s economy has maintained a stable state, but five years, five years of basically unchanged economic trend shows what, you may not know, the peers here should be very clear."


    "Financially speaking, if you don''t advance, you will retreat." The man sitting in the first row, who had not spoken, said slowly.


    "That''s right." Ye zhiqiao nodded, "The dong family has basically been declining for the past five years, and your father, Dong Jianlin, has been struggling to maintain this decline. At the end of the road, what did he do?"


    Dong Yueyue was already shocked by what ye zhiqiao had just said, and now she was completely stunned. She never thought that her own company would turn out like this.


    Seeing Dong Yueyue''s mouth slightly open and unable to say a word, ye zhiqiao continued, "Poor quality fabric, unqualified dye, rough and shoddy, using underhanded means to frame peers, this is the way the Dong shi can survive!"


    Dong Yueyue, who was stunned, was invited out of the venue by bodyguards amid the shouts of many media reporters and the discussion of his business colleagues.


    When the cold wind blew, Dong Yueyue slowly woke up.


    Looking at the tall buildings that used to belong to her own home, and now in the hands of others, her eyes were red, her hands clenched into fists, and her nails dug deep into her flesh.


    "Harm your father, destroy your family business, and now insult him in public." Ye yiyu stepped out of the company gate in red high heels and slowly came to Dong Yueyue. He asked word for word, "Are you willing to let this hatred go?"


    Dong Yueyue looked at the woman she obviously didn''t know and asked with a frown, "Who are you? What does my family have to do with you?"


    Ye yiyu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled sweetly, "Maybe it doesn''t matter, or maybe it has something to do with it."


    "What do you mean?"


    "I just saw the whole process in there. Ye zhiqiao, that woman who robbed your company, even made a shameless list of crimes. Bullying you, a young girl who just entered the society, is really hard to see."


    Dong Yueyue pursed his lips and asked, "Can''t you see it? Then you..."


    Ye yiyu put his right hand on her shoulder and whispered, "That''s right, I''m willing to help you."


    "Help me?"


    "As long as you do as I say, I will help you destroy ye zhiqiao and take back the Dong shi!"


    Dong Yueyue pondered for a while, then asked, "Why did you help me just because you couldn''t see through it?"


    "You don''t have the capital to ask these questions now. There''s only one chance. You just say yes or no."


    Dong Yueyue lowered his head and remained silent, unable to make up his mind.


    Ye yiyu sighed, took out a usb drive from her handbag and said, "This is the design that I have signed. As long as you can find a way to send it to the hard drive of ye zhiqiao''s new product launch, then all the problems will be solved. In order to show her kindness, ye zhiqiao left a large number of former Dong shi employees in mengxing group. As the great miss of the Dong shi, it should be easy for you to find one or two loyal and grateful people."


    Hearing this, Dong Yueyue looked up at the things in ye yiyu''s hands and asked hesitantly, "Really... That''s it?"


    Ye yiyu bent down and looked at the girl in front of him. "You''ve fallen to the bottom. You won''t get worse, will you?" As long as you give it a try, you can go back to the past."


    Go back to the past?


    Dong Yueyue thought of his past glory, where there were people everywhere, who would bow and cry "Miss dong" whenever they saw him...


    As if she had been hypnotized, she couldn''t help but reach out and take the little thing over. She looked at the usb drive lying quietly in her hand and smiled silently.

 Chapter 51 She Stole the Design Draft

    After the press conference, mengxing group officially began to operate as an industry under the gu group, and ye zhiqiao was fully responsible.


    After a few busy days in the beginning, ye zhiqiao, who had roughly dealt with the basic matters, finally made time. She had long planned to thoroughly investigate the theft of the design draft, and now she could finally put it into practice.


    At first, ye zhiqiao did not know where to start. After the reminder of assistant Xiao Man, she thought of the surveillance video at the office door.


    Although the surveillance video would be covered after seven days, and it had been more than seven days since the incident, there had been clear regulations in the company that every seven days, the surveillance record would be copied by a special person, and then stored in the surveillance file.


    Ye zhiqiao went straight to the administrator of the monitoring room and asked for the monitoring of the day.


    The administrator was a young man in his early twenties who recognized ye zhiqiao as the top management of the company and helped her find the video without saying a word.


    "Eh?" The administrator let out a confused sound after playing it.


    Of course, ye zhiqiao also noticed that other videos were very clear, only on the day the design was stolen, the screen was full of black and white snowflakes.


    "What''s going on?"


    The administrator made a fuss and said, "This has never happened before. Before these surveillance cameras are placed in the archives, we will go through them carefully. This is our job. There will be no mistakes, but this..."


    In order to cover their eyes and ears, of course, they had to destroy all the evidence.


    Ye zhi coincidentally nodded, "You weren''t on duty that day, were you?"


    "Eh? How do you know?" The young man from the countryside was very honest. He didn''t know what had happened. He just felt that ye zhi coincidentally deserved to be the top management of the company. He was really too smart.


    "Yes, the two of us changed shifts. The person on duty on this day is chen yun. Look at his name on it."


    Ye zhiqiao left the monitoring room and immediately sent someone to investigate this person. As expected, this chen yun really had a problem.


    The information on the table clearly shows that chen yun worked for ye yiyu''s company for two years before transferring to the company.


    Chen yun. Ye zhiqiao''s slender fingertips lightly clicked on his photo, then stood up and left the office.


    In the monitoring room, chen yun was playing with his cell phone while eating. When he saw ye zhiqiao who suddenly pushed the door in, he was so scared that his whole body trembled. The cell phone in his hand fell directly into the bowl of instant noodles in front of him.


    "Uh-"


    A subconscious cry of surprise followed by a quick shut up.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the man who pretended to be calm in front of her and smiled. Then she walked up to him and sat down. She gently opened her mouth and said, "Are you so scared?"


    "I... Didn''t." Chen yun didn''t sit there or stand there, so he decided to go straight ahead and asked, "What''s the matter with miss ye?"


    "What do you not know about me?"


    Chen yun qiang smiled and said, "Miss ye... No, it''s president ye. You are a noble person who is busy. How can I guess your thoughts?"


    "Chen yun, just know that I''m busy, so I don''t have time to play charades with you!" Ye zhi happened to be smiling one second ago, but the next one was stiff and said sternly, "Stealing designs is related to copyright issues. You help cover up the evidence. This can be big or small. If I want to, I can send you to jail now, you know?"


    "I... I..." Chen yun stammered, unable to say anything.


    Ye zhiqiao fiddled with the car keys in her hand and said softly, "Of course, if you hand over the surveillance of that day to me now, I can pretend that nothing happened. No matter how I deal with the thief in the future, I will let you go. How about that?"


    Chen yun glanced at the careless ye zhiqiao and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"


    "Do you think I can hold on to your mistakes as a monitor?" Ye zhiqiao stood up and asked with a smile.


    "Is it really her?" Looking at the person on the computer, Xiao Man said in surprise.


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at the figure that ye yiyu was looking around with her body lowered on the screen and smiled silently.


    "President ye, what are you going to do?"


    Ye zhiqiao turned off the player, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Don''t move."


    "Stand still?" Xiao Man didn''t understand.


    "That''s right." Ye zhiqiao opened her eyes and curled her lips, "Now it''s inevitable that there will be a lot of trouble. Let''s wait until the new product launch."


    New product launch?


    Xiao Man frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, he was enlightened. He smiled and said, "President ye, do you mean to give her a chance to win? Brilliant!"


    Chen yun handed the surveillance record to ye zhiqiao an hour ago, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. After some ideological struggle, he called his father-in-law, the housekeeper of the ye family, and told them that ye zhiqiao had come here today to take the video.


    The housekeeper was very clear about the relationship between the ye family and immediately informed ye guojun.


    "Dad, why did you have to call me back? Do you know how busy the company has been lately?"


    As soon as ye yiyu entered the house, he began to complain. Ye guojun sat on the sofa and pulled his face without answering.


    Ye yiyu saw that ye guojun''s face was not good, so she rushed forward and asked, "What''s wrong, dad? What happened?"


    "Let me ask you, did the butler''s son-in-law, chen yun, work in your company before?"


    Ye yiyu was surprised to hear ye guojun suddenly ask this question, but he still replied, "Yes, but he left two years ago."


    "Have you ever looked for him?" Asked ye guojun with a grim face.


    "I... Dad, why are you asking this?" Ye yiyu did not answer directly, but mumbled.


    Seeing that she still refused to tell the truth, ye guojun simply explained, "Are you still hiding it from me? That kid chen yun has already said that you asked him to help you cover up the surveillance video that ye zhiqiao designed, but today ye zhiqiao has already come to the door and is leaving the video!"


    "What?!" Ye yiyu did not expect this. She stared and her face turned pale with fear.


    "Dad, what should we do? What should I do? Can you help me? Ye zhiqiao has always hated me and thought that I stole your love. Now... Now that she has caught hold of me, she will not let me go easily!"


    Ye guojun sighed and said, "Tell me about your child. How can you keep this from me? Am I going to hurt you again?"


    Hearing ye guojun''s words, ye yiyu''s heart temporarily calmed down, "I know dad is the best to me, but... But this time, I really am... And I have used a lot of ye zhiqiao''s designs before. If it were exposed, I am afraid..."


    "You stole it before?!" Before she could finish, ye guojun interrupted.


    "... Yes. Everyone likes her designs, I" ... Ye yiyu lowered her head, buried her face on her father''s shoulder and sobbed softly.


    "Dad, help me."

 Chapter 52 Without a White-eyed Daughter Like You

    Ye guojun had been used to doting on ye yi since he was a child. Now that he saw his daughter crying so pitifully, he could not say a word of blame.


    He rubbed ye yiyu''s head and said, "Daddy will find a way for you."


    "Really?" Ye yiyu immediately raised her head and asked in a nasal voice, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "Dad, what can you do?"


    Ye guojun pulled ye yiyu up and said, "You should hurry up and apply for copyright for the previous designs as soon as possible. As long as the copyright is in hand, ye zhiqiao can''t do anything about it."


    Ye yiyu nodded approvingly and asked again, "What if she still refuses to let go after applying? Now that everyone likes to focus on such things, I''m afraid people will still suspect me."


    "I thought of that too." Ye guojun patted his thigh and stood up. He looked out the window and said, "I will call your sister and talk to her. After all, you are sisters."


    Ye zhiqiao put down her phone and looked out of the window.


    After a while, he said to the driver feebly, "I''m not going back to the company. I''m going straight to the ye family."


    The doorbell rang, and ye guojun personally ran over and opened the door. Ye zhiqiao was a little surprised at first, then she saw ye guojun''s smiling face and understood.


    He must have something to ask for again.


    "Zhiqiao, are you tired from walking? You should sit down in the living room and rest for a while. I just asked the maid to squeeze your favorite juice, so I''ll bring it to you."


    Ye zhiqiao saw ye guojun quickly walk into the kitchen and did not say anything. She walked directly into the living room. She did not expect ye yiyu to be there.


    Shouldn''t she be working at the company at this time?


    Although ye zhiqiao was confused, she didn''t say anything when she saw that the other party didn''t want to talk to her.


    At this time, ye guojun came in with two glasses of juice. One was placed in front of ye zhiqiao and the other was handed to ye yiyu.


    "Come on, try it. Do you like it?"


    This was said to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up the cup and took a sip. She nodded and said, "Not bad."


    "That''s good, that''s good." Ye guojun rubbed his hands together in front of him.


    Ye zhiqiao knew ye guojun very well. He was obviously busy now, so she said directly, "Is there something wrong with calling me back today? You can just say that it''s okay."


    Ye guojun breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside ye zhiqiao and said, "Zhiqiao, daddy called you back today. I haven''t seen you for so many days. I''m really worried about your health. I''m afraid you put all your energy into work and don''t know how to take care of yourself."


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded. She didn''t believe a single word of this sentence.


    "And yes, I heard from your sister that she took away your new design without telling you that it looked so good the other day! I was so angry that I scolded her, and then I wanted to call you over and make her apologize to you in person. You''re older than her, and you''ve always let her go. I''m sure I won''t argue with her this time, so I''ll give the design to your sister for fun."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at ye guojun, who seemed to be saying something common, and her eyes almost popped out.


    Ye yiyu stole the design draft, hid the surveillance with others, and then opened a finished product exhibition in his own name. Now, in a few words from ye guojun, it turned into a work that a girl liked her sister. Let''s take a look at it! Now you want to give it to her with both hands?!


    "Ha!" Ye zhiqiao sneered and said, "Dad, you probably know that I''m going back to the surveillance video, right? Although it''s a little faster than I expected, you will know sooner or later."


    Ye guojun could not figure out her attitude and asked tentatively, "So Zhiqiao, are you not angry?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said expressionless, "Of course, I''m not angry."


    Ye guojun let out a sigh of relief, and his tight back collapsed, "That''s right, you..."


    "However," ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu who was sitting across from her and couldn''t hide her excitement. She said word by word, "I''m not angry. It doesn''t mean that the police won''t follow the law."


    "What did you say?!"


    Ye yiyu''s face turned green immediately. It was really boring. Ye zhiqiao looked at ye guojun again and said sternly, "I say, I will not condone ye yiyu''s behavior. She must pay the price for what she did wrong!"


    Ye yiyu was frightened by ye zhiqiao''s words, but ye guojun''s presence still emboldened her. Immediately, she ran to ye guojun, grabbed his arm and cried, "Dad, you see, I already said that she hated me so much that she would never let me go. She... She didn''t care about sisterhood at all, and even... She didn''t even care about your father. I don''t care, but what are you doing to her? Yeah? You have been kind to her, but... Do you think she has any respect for you now? If you want me to tell you, you shouldn''t want her as a daughter!"


    Just now, ye zhiqiao''s refusal had already made ye guojun furious, and adding fuel to ye yiyu''s fire, he could not restrain his anger.


    The smile on his face was gone forever. Ye guojun frowned and pointed at ye zhiqiao and said loudly, "I will ask you one last time in the name of my father. Can you stop pursuing this matter?!"


    "No." Ye zhiqiao''s calm voice sounded.


    "Get out of here!" Ye guojun pointed at the door and shouted, "Get out of here! I, ye guojun, do not have a white-eyed daughter like you! Get lost!"


    Ye zhiqiao picked up the bag on the sofa and walked out without stopping for a moment.


    Outside the door of the ye family, a cold wind blew in.


    Ye zhiqiao finally lost her cool self-control and her shoulders collapsed. She lowered her eyes and stood there for a long time.


    She looked around at the scenery, and it was lonely. Then he opened the car door and drove to songhe garden cemetery.


    In the distance were patches of old pine trees, rows and rows of gray-green tombstones standing quietly in the mist between the mountains, only the sound of a breeze gently passing by, as if whispering and sighing.


    Ye zhiqiao passed through the middle and stopped in front of a tombstone.


    Although there were no flowers or sacrifices in front of the tombstone, the woman in the photo still smiled kindly at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao slowly squatted down and raised her hand to gently touch the photo.


    "Mom."


    As soon as he opened his mouth, his sorrowful mood was like a flood that had opened the floodgates and was out of control.


    Tears fell uncontrollably. She choked and said, "Mom, I miss you so much."

 Chapter 53 Take Back Everything That Belongs to Me

    It was nearing evening and the sky began to drizzle.


    Ye zhiqiao sat on the ground with her arms around her knees and leaned her head against the tombstone as if she was lying in her mother''s arms to absorb the faint warmth.


    "Mom, I got kicked out again. I''m useless, right?"


    She spoke with a strong nasal tone, but no one was asking her any more questions at this time. Only the breeze in the mountains answered her.


    "I don''t remember that a long time ago, before ye yiyu was born and my father married his stepmother, did he love me too? I used to have some secret expectations, and I think he would feel a little guilty about leaving me alone abroad for the past five years."


    "I would be very happy if he was willing to show a little courteous concern for me just because he was sorry. However, my hopes always seem to fail again and again."


    Ye zhiqiao stretched out her hand and caught the drizzle. She watched them gradually merge into transparent raindrops. Then, they slowly slid down from her palm, leaving only the coldness in her heart.


    "Mom, I''m really desperate this time. I won''t have any more expectations for the word father. If I did something bad, would you blame me?"


    "I only have you. You must not blame me."


    After signing the last document, gu mohan subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already past six in the afternoon.


    He closed his eyes to rest for a while, then called his secretary to explain the arrangements for tomorrow.


    "By the way, how''s mengxing group?"


    The secretary recalled the information she received and replied, "Everything is fine for the time being. Miss ye managed mengxing group very well."


    "Yeah." Gu mohan waved his secretary down and stared at the phone on the table.


    It seems that after the press conference, he has been entangled in affairs. He and ye zhiqiao have never met again.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan smiled and dialed the phone.


    It took him a long time to get through to the stereo.


    "What are you doing, taking so long to answer?" Gu mohan asked casually.


    "Um... Nothing. What''s the matter?"


    The sound of the phone covered up ye zhiqiao''s hoarse voice. Gu mohan did not recognize her emotions and then asked, "Do you have time for dinner?"


    "I... I am now..."


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated, and gu mohan interrupted directly, "And little treasure has been shouting these days. I don''t think you have much time to spend with her. Let''s go home after dinner."


    "Okay." Thinking of little treasure, ye zhiqiao did not hesitate.


    "Where is it? I''ll pick you up first."


    "Songhe garden."


    As gu mohan drove along the road, the more he thought about it, the more strange it became. Songhe garden is a cemetery. Why would ye zhiqiao go there?


    Ye zhiqiao''s family... By the way, her mother is now ye zhiqiao''s stepmother, and she should be her biological mother in songhe garden.


    Gu mohan glanced at the rearview mirror and turned the steering wheel several times. He drove to the flower shop that he had seen by chance on the road.


    Ye zhiqiao felt a figure shaking from the side. She rubbed her crying eyes and looked over. She saw gu mohan in a straight suit walking slowly with a bunch of chrysanthemums.


    She stood up and smiled.


    Gu mohan saw what was wrong with her, but did not say anything. He bent down and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, then bowed respectfully.


    "Thank you." Ye zhiqiao''s thank you sounded slightly moved.


    Only then did gu mohan turn around to face her and ask, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"


    "I miss mom." Ye zhiqiao did not say all the reasons.


    Gu mohan caught a glimpse of her coat from the corner of his eye, and there was already a large water mark on her shoulder. He remembered that when he came over earlier, he saw her as if she were an abandoned child, huddled up and sat beside the tombstone.


    It started raining at two o'' clock this afternoon and stopped an hour ago. Ye zhiqiao didn''t know how long she had been sitting here.


    Gu mohan''s heart throbbed uncontrollably and he asked in a slow voice, "What else? Just because of that?"


    Ye zhiqiao saw her reflection in gu mohan''s eyes. His eyes were dark but bright, filled with mountains and fog in the distance. He stood in silence, like a sail in the sea.


    She suddenly did not want to pretend to be strong, but wanted to tell everything to the man in front of her. She clearly believed that this man would be like the sea, enough to contain all the waves.


    "I, I went back to the ye family today."


    Gu mohan stood upright in the gradually darkening sky, listening to ye zhiqiao talk about the whole thing.


    "That''s it. After I left the ye family, I came to my mother. I haven''t had a chance to visit her for five years, but every year I remind my dad to visit her on the anniversary of her death and qingming. As a result..."


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and did not continue.


    Gu mohan looked at the tombstone clean, only a bunch of white chrysanthemums quietly independent appearance, his heart was already clear.


    After all, he was a husband and wife and had a daughter, but ye guojun was so ruthless that he never came to visit his dead wife.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was gradually immersed in grief, gu mohan changed the subject and asked, "Since things have developed like this, do you have any plans for the future?"


    Ye zhiqiao was really brought back to her senses by his question. She nodded and said, "I thought a lot this afternoon. Even though I felt that it was not natural for me to do this, I still decided."


    Ye zhiqiao looked into gu mohan''s eyes and said word by word, "I want to destroy the ye family and take back everything that belongs to me."


    Although it was unexpected that ye zhiqiao, who had always paid attention to family ties and was willing to be wronged, would actually make such a decision, gu mohan secretly praised in his heart. Ye zhiqiao finally grew up and became brave, so that she would not be bullied again in the future.


    "If you really decide, I will help you." Gu mohan was willing to stand in front of her and protect her from all the storms.


    "Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao bent her eyes and trusted him completely.


    "But what should I do? Ye yiyu is a little easier, but the power of the ye family is still in my father''s hands. He''s not as impulsive as ye yiyu, and it''s hard to get hold of him."


    Gu mohan thought for a moment and agreed, "That''s true. Ye yiyu is just a beginner, so he has revealed such a big foothold in the design draft. Ye guojun is different. He has been in the business world for decades, experienced and deep in thought. This matter needs to be discussed in a long term."


    "In the long run?"

 Chapter 54 You Actually Eat Sirloin Steak?!

    "That''s right." Gu mohan took a step forward, raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Ye guojun and ye yiyu are father and daughter. Even if we can deal with ye yiyu, as long as ye guojun is by her side, she will be fine."


    "What do you mean?" Ye zhiqiao did not understand.


    Gu mo''s voice sank and he suggested, "If you can be wronged and return to the ye family temporarily, there will be a way."


    Ye zhiqiao still didn''t understand and asked, "What can I do when I go back to the ye family? I''ve always wanted to stay at home, but isn''t it obvious?"


    "It''s different this time." Gu mohan shook his head and continued, "The purpose of your return this time is to sever the relationship between ye guojun and ye yiyu. As long as there is a rift between them, the ye family will be disintegrated soon."


    This time, ye zhi coincidentally understood gu mohan''s purpose and felt that this method was indeed feasible, so she nodded.


    "However, I have been chased out by ye guojun. He said he would never recognize me as his daughter and would never allow me to step into the ye family. I..."


    Gu mohan put his hand on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and pressed it, saying, "Don''t worry, I''m still here. I''m sure I can get ye guojun to take back those words and let you go back to the ye family."


    Ye zhiqiao knew that this might be the only way, so she no longer hesitated and agreed.


    Gu mohan handed the car keys to the waiter at the door and walked into the restaurant with ye zhiqiao. Under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them went upstairs and sat down in a quiet place.


    "May I ask what you two need?" The waiter with a professional smile brought the menu over.


    Gu mohan raised his chin and motioned for ye zhi to come by.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly waved her hand and said, "You should come. I can eat anything."


    "All right then." Gu mohan answered and leaned over to take the menu.


    The waiter finally couldn''t help but ask with a puzzled look, "Do you have any friends coming over?" Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help it.


    She snatched the menu from gu mohan and handed it to the waiter, "No, that''s all."


    After the waiter nodded and left, ye zhiqiao frowned at the leisurely man and asked, "Why did you order so much? We won''t be able to finish it."


    Gu mohan crossed his legs and put a napkin on himself, "Who told you not to order? I don''t know what you like to eat, so I''ll have to have one of each."


    Ye zhiqiao glared and said, "I''m not picky. I eat everything. We''ve had so many meals together, can''t you tell?"


    Gu mohan''s focus was obviously different. He pretended to be deep in thought and said, "We''ve had so many meals."


    Although he didn''t say anything and just repeated what ye zhiqiao had just said, ye zhiqiao just felt that his words had a deep meaning. Then she looked at his playful eyes and suddenly felt ashamed and angry. Then she turned her head and ignored him.


    Gu mohan knew that ye zhiqiao had a thin skin, and now he seemed to have made her go too far. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, he heard a bold voice.


    "Gu mohan!"


    Two women walked up to them, one tall and one short. The tall one was wearing a dress in the season when the temperature was turning sharply. Ye zhiqiao was cold for her.


    She was gu Mohan''s name just now.


    The two of them clearly knew each other. Ye zhiqiao turned around and looked at gu mohan with inquiring eyes.


    Gu mohan received her gaze and saw the two of them walking to the table. He stood up and introduced, "This is ye zhiqiao."


    Ye zhiqiao also stood up and nodded.


    "This is miss Liu Baizhi, international supermodel, and this is her friend, xianxian." Gu mohan then said.


    "Hello, miss liu. You can often be seen on tv." Ye zhiqiao greeted him first.


    Liu Baizhi looked at ye zhiqiao''s hand in the air and narrowed his eyes. Gu mohan had just introduced this woman and only said her name. He didn''t say anything else. It seems that the relationship between the two people should be unusual.


    This situation made Liu Baizhi feel very uncomfortable, but because gu mohan was looking at her, he still reached out his hand and shook it lightly.


    Ye zhiqiao did not catch Liu Baizhi''s hostility. She thought that because of her identity, she would have a special request, so she did not care and went to shake hands with xianxian instead.


    Seeing that both parties had already finished greeting each other, gu mohan casually asked, "You guys are here to eat too, so we won''t disturb you."


    The intention of going out was obvious, but Liu Baizhi took a step in gu mohan''s direction without any intention of leaving.


    "Xianxian and I are here for the first time today. I don''t know what''s good. Let''s eat together under your light."


    Gu mohan took a step back and said, "It''s our first time here, so..."


    Before he could finish, Liu Baizhi pulled him back to his seat and said, "Oh, why are you so stingy? What''s wrong with having dinner with you? I''m not asking you to treat me."


    At this point, seeing that gu Mohan still had to refuse, ye zhiqiao hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Actually, this is good. Let''s eat together. More people will be more lively."


    It''s not chinese new year. What''s so lively about it?


    Gu mohan muttered in his heart.


    But since even ye zhiqiao said so, it was not good for him to refuse again, so he had to ring the bell and call the waiter for more food.


    Liu Baizhi sat with gu mohan, and ye zhiqiao had to let xianxian sit with her.


    Waiting for the meal, Liu Baizhi still did not stop and kept leaning towards gu Mohan. Gu mohan was so annoyed that he said in a deep voice, "Your order is coming soon. Just wait quietly for a while."


    "I''ve been working all day. I''m starving." Liu Baizhi said wrongly, "I think your steak is good. Why don''t you give me some first?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at the steak that Mohan had already eaten several mouthfuls, and the goosebumps fell uncontrollably.


    Seeing her reaction, gu mohan gently raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.


    Liu Baizhi saw that gu Mohan didn''t pay any attention to himself and kept looking at the woman across the table with a silly smile. He looked at the plate with his arm in his arms and pretended to be surprised. "Oh my god, what are you eating?"!"


    "?" Ye zhiqiao looked around in confusion. Seeing that Liu Baizhi was talking about what she was eating, she replied, "Xileng... Steak."


    "You actually eat sirloin steak?!"


    The other three people were shocked by Liu Baizhi''s exclamation on the spot. Ye zhi happened to be holding a fork with a small piece of steak on it.


    After a long time, she asked, "Eat this... What''s wrong?"

 Chapter 55 My Girlfriend Has a Thin Skin

    Liu Baizhi covered his mouth in exaggeration, his eyes staring like bronze bells.


    Do you know how much fat is in the sirloin steak?!"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao looked down at the pitiful steak lying on her plate and whispered, "How are you..."


    Gu mohan was also shocked by Liu Baizhi''s reaction just now. He only realized when he saw ye zhiqiao''s embarrassed face and said with a smile, "What a big thing is worth your surprise? Zhiqiao is not like you to be a model. Besides, she is not fat. What''s wrong with eating this?"


    Liu Baizhi looked at ye zhiqiao carefully. Her long dark green hair made her skin fairer. Although she had peach eyes, she gave a clear feeling. She also had a sharp chin and prominent collarbone. Yes, she was not fat.


    "Even so, women still have to learn to manage their bodies. It has nothing to do with whether they are fat or not. Some people look thin, but their bodies are full of fat, which is the most disgusting."


    Gu mohan knew that Liu Baizhi had always been a quick talker, so he ignored her and winked at ye zhiqiao to signal her to continue eating.


    Liu Baizhi saw that ye zhiqiao really did not pay attention to herself, thinking that this woman must have relied on gu mohan''s protection to put herself in such a low regard, but also couldn''t help but want to pick a thorn.


    "Are you not wearing makeup?"


    Ye zhiqiao did not know why Liu Baizhi always led the conversation to her, but she was too embarrassed to brush her face, so she nodded.


    However, Liu Baizhi had no intention of ending the topic, "How can this work? I really don''t know why Mohan likes someone like you. You can''t even meet the most basic requirements as a woman. Even if you don''t manage your figure, you don''t even care about your face. Aren''t you afraid to embarrass Mohan just by following him out?"


    No matter how slow ye zhiqiao was, she realized that Liu Baizhi had been trying to find fault with gu mohan for so long.


    Ye zhiqiao sneered in her heart, feeling that this woman was really bored, and her tone became stiff unconsciously, "Miss liu, you may have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with gu mohan."


    After that, she stood up and said to the three of them, "I''m sorry, but I remembered that there are still some unfinished matters in the company, so I left first."


    "Zhiqiao!" Gu mohan quickly stood up, shook off Liu Baizhi''s arm and caught up with ye zhiqiao in a few steps.


    "It''s already so late. If anything happens tomorrow, sit down and eat first." Gu mohan took the opportunity to lower his head and whispered in ye zhiqiao''s ear, "Listen."


    Gu mohan pulled ye zhiqiao back and apologized to xianxian, asking her to change her seat and sit next to Liu Baizhi.


    Liu Baizhi saw ye zhiqiao sit back and snorted. Just as he was about to say something sarcastic, he heard gu mohan''s deep voice.


    "Liu Baizhi, my girlfriend has a thin skin. Don''t make fun of her all the time."


    Girlfriend?


    Girlfriend!


    The other three showed a unanimous look of shock.


    Although Liu Baizhi had just mocked ye zhiqiao with their relationship, she had always thought that ye zhiqiao was only pursuing gu mohan unilaterally. She did not expect that the two of them were really in love.


    Ye zhiqiao recovered from the shock and immediately explained, "We don''t... Uh-"


    Gu mohan''s eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. A sacred fruit was stuffed directly into ye zhiqiao''s mouth.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at gu mohan and swallowed quickly. "We... Uh -"


    This time it was a chicken wing.


    Watching ye zhiqiao puff her mouth and stare at her eyes, chewing the food in her mouth like a goldfish, gu mohan smiled in a good mood and said dotingly, "Take whatever you want to eat. Don''t look at me all the time."


    "Xianxian, let''s go first. Don''t be a light bulb for the two of them!"


    Liu Baizhi didn''t want to see the "Loving" interaction between the two of them, so he pulled his friend up and left the restaurant.


    "Gu mohan!" After Liu Baizhi had left for a long time, ye zhiqiao finished eating the chicken wings in her mouth. She glared at gu mohan''s unhurried cutting of the steak and said, "Why did you use me as a shield?!"


    "Shield? What shield?"


    Ye zhiqiao gritted her teeth and said, "Don''t pretend you don''t understand! Why did you tell people I was... I was your girlfriend?!"


    Gu mohan stopped moving, put the cut steak in front of ye zhiqiao, and said, "You see, it''s really annoying that she keeps pestering me."


    "You can''t be bothered..."


    "I''ve already agreed to help you get back to the ye family. Can''t you just do me a small favor in return?" Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao triumphantly.


    Although ye zhiqiao was angry in her heart, what he said made sense, and she really couldn''t refute it. At the thought of this, ye zhiqiao immediately withered.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s reaction, gu mohan secretly rejoiced and pushed the steak forward, "Eat quickly. There are still a lot of things left. Don''t waste them."


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at him and then fiercely forked the beef on the plate!


    "Ding-dong - ding-dong -"


    The servant walked quickly to the door, opened it, and was stunned. He glanced into the living room with difficulty.


    "Who is it?" Ye guojun''s voice came from the living room.


    "Yes... Miss."


    "She still has the face to come back? Get out!"


    As ye guojun shouted, ye zhiqiao raised the corner of her mouth and sneered.


    The servant looked at the two people standing outside the door again and said with a trembling voice, "And... And Mr. Gu... Is here too."


    "Who? Mr. Gu?" Ye guojun came out of the living room with a newspaper and asked, "Which gu xian... Sheng?"


    Seeing that gu mohan was impassively blocked by the servants outside the door, ye guojun stepped forward and said, "Ouch! It''s master gu!"


    Then he pulled the servant aside and scolded, "Have you seen anything?! If you don''t let master gu in when he comes, you can just stand here and wait to die!"


    The servant was scolded, and agreed meekly, then hurried to prepare tea.


    "Why is young master gu free to come to my house today?" Ye guojun invited gu mohan into the door, glanced sideways at ye zhiqiao, who was following behind him, and asked with a smile on his face, "Did I, this worthless daughter, do something wrong that made young master gu angry? I already said, this child is really not a good place, today I even scolded her fiercely! Don''t worry, tell me what she did wrong and I''ll take care of her!"


    Gu mohan smiled and walked to the sofa to sit down.


    After a long time, he slowly said, "It seems that uncle ye''s family is very strict."


    "Of course." Ye guojun promised.


    "Yeah." Gu mohan nodded and looked at ye zhiqiao, who was sitting quietly opposite him, and said to ye guojun, "She told me just now that she lost her temper in the afternoon and made you angry."


    "This..." Ye guojun rubbed his palms with embarrassment.

 Chapter 56 Ye Yiyu Was Scalded

    Gu mohan sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed. He glanced at the tv leisurely and said, "Uncle ye, don''t worry. Although I have such a relationship with zhiqiao, I will never indulge her. After I heard it, I gave her a lesson for uncle. No matter what, you are his father. She should listen to whatever you say about her."


    "Master gu is still polite. I can rest assured that my daughter will follow master gu."


    "But..." Gu mohan turned to look at ye guojun and said thoughtfully, "No matter what I say about her, she won''t necessarily take it to heart. It''s better for you, the father, to keep her by your side and teach her all the time so that she can learn from you."


    Ye guojun''s face froze, but he agreed, "Master gu is right."


    "How many misunderstandings do you have about her being your daughter? She makes mistakes occasionally, and she has been taught a lesson. If I give her a personal favor, don''t mind, okay?"


    Ye guojun nodded and agreed, "Of course, of course." Then he looked at ye zhiqiao and said with a smile, "Tell me about you. What''s so big that you have to bother master gu. We are father and daughter. Can father really be angry with you?"


    Ye zhiqiao resisted the nausea in her stomach and smiled, "Thank you, dad."


    "Well, since the matter has been settled, I won''t bother you anymore." Gu mohan stood up and walked to ye zhiqiao. He took her hand and patted her, "Now that you''re home, be obedient. Uncle is old. Don''t make uncle angry anymore. If there''s anything you don''t like, just tell me directly."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded obediently, secretly laughing at gu mohan''s thoughtfulness. Didn''t he tell the ye family not to provoke him again?


    Ye guojun naturally recognized the implication behind gu mohan''s words and stood up and said, "Don''t worry, master gu. Zhiqiao is in his own house. How can there be anything wrong with her? Our family takes good care of her."


    Gu mohan nodded and said nothing more.


    "Dad!" As soon as gu mohan left, ye yiyu ran down the stairs.


    "Why did you let this woman come back? Did you forget what she did to me?!" Ye yiyu pointed at ye zhiqiao and asked angrily.


    Ye guojun took his daughter''s hand and comforted her, "All right, all right, master gu has personally sent your sister back. Don''t say so much. Just play it back and rest."


    Ye zhiqiao shook off his hand and took a step forward, "Isn''t that gu mohan?! You''re afraid of him, but I''m not! So what if he''s capable? Why should he interfere in our family affairs? As a father, you said you don''t want this daughter. He just sent her back and said some nice things, so we have to listen? How could that make sense?!"


    "Yiyu, that''s enough!"


    "Not enough!" Ye yiyu stormed in front of ye zhiqiao, pointed at her nose and roared, "I wanted to say it a long time ago! Aren''t you just using your face to seduce men everywhere? What disgusting means did you use to make that gu mohan obey your orders for the time being, but if you are really powerful, go outside and try your best. What is the ability to run home and bully your father and sister?!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her sister who was like a mad dog and said calmly, "Ye yiyu, for the sake of you being my sister, I will tolerate you until now. If you continue to say this, I will not be polite."


    Ye yi yu tilted his mouth and looked at her provocatively, "Okay, I''ll see how you can be rude to me, you bitch! Bitch - ah!!! -"


    Ye zhiqiao slowly put down the cup that was still warm in her hand. Just now, there was still hot tea that the servant had brought up a few minutes ago. Now... All of these hot tea had fallen on ye yiyu.


    Ye yiyu raised his hand in a panic and brushed away the remaining tea and a few pieces of tea on his clothes. The place where the water stains were on was slowly emitting white smoke.


    She stretched out her hand and carefully opened her sleeve. There was already a large red mark on her forearm. The intense pain caused her to close her eyes and groan in pain. She had long forgotten to argue with the "Culprit."


    Zhuang minjia, who happened to see this scene, trotted over and bumped into ye guojun, who was still in shock. She held her daughter''s arm and said, "What are you still standing there for?! Hurry up and get the medicine box!"


    The two of them hurriedly applied medicine to ye yiyu, bandaged her up and sent her back to her room to rest before returning to the living room to make an accusation.


    "Ye zhiqiao, what''s wrong with you? She''s your sister. How can you be so cruel?!" Although zhuang minjia had the heart to kill ye zhiqiao, what gu mohan had just said was true to her in the study. Even if she was angry, she didn''t dare to face ye zhiqiao now.


    Ye guojun was also very angry, but when he saw ye zhiqiao sitting there without saying anything to refute him, he couldn''t get rid of his anger, so he said sternly, "What happened just now, yi yu really said was not very nice, but you are her sister, so it''s okay to let her have some. And if she only moved her mouth, it would be wrong for you to do it directly. She''s still young. What if she has a scar in the future?!"


    Ye zhiqiao remained silent.


    Zhuang minjia could not help but get angry. Ye guojun quickly dragged her upstairs, "Okay, let''s go and see yi yu first."


    Then he turned around and warned ye zhiqiao, "Just this once, like the next time today, I will never spare you. You sit here and reflect on yourself now!"


    Looking at the two people anxiously going upstairs, ye zhiqiao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled coldly.


    The next morning, because it was the weekend, ye zhiqiao was enjoying the rare night off, but the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.


    "Hello?"


    Hearing her sleepy voice, gu mohan smiled and said, "Haven''t you gotten up yet? Knowing that you were going to sleep in, I didn''t call you until nine o'' clock. I didn''t expect..."


    "Yes, what''s the matter? Come on, I have to go back to sleep." Ye zhiqiao was really not in the mood to listen to him laugh at her.


    "... Today is the day of little treasure''s regular checkup. I wanted to ask you to come with me, but if you don''t wake up, go back to sleep. I''ll take her myself." Gu mohan knew that ye zhiqiao was too busy these days, and he couldn''t bear to disturb her when he heard her tired voice.


    Knowing it was little treasure, ye zhiqiao immediately stopped thinking of sleeping to death. Like a zombie, she slowly got up from the bed and muttered, "No... I want to go too... Now go..."

 Chapter 57 The Dark Eyes Were Getting Closer and Closer

    "All right, little bun, go sit down on the stool, and be careful not to be kicked." Ye zhiqiao looked at the little treasure holding her thigh, helplessly reminding her.


    There were a lot of people coming and going in the hospital, and they all ran away in a hurry. Little treasure was so small that he shrank to the ground that he couldn''t see it without looking carefully.


    "All right, all right, little treasure." Ye zhiqiao reached out and picked up the reluctant little treasure from the ground, then was tightly wrapped around her neck.


    Little treasure stuck to ye zhiqiao and was unwilling to let go. The boss said unhappily, "Little treasure hasn''t seen aunt ye for a long time. Aunt ye is bad. She said she would play with me often."


    Gu mohan walked out of the doctor''s office with the checklist in his hand. Seeing this scene, he was in a good mood, and his eyes and brows were smiling.


    "How is it?" Ye zhiqiao asked.


    "The doctor said that little treasure''s condition has improved a lot. As long as he pays more attention to food therapy in the future, little treasure''s body will become healthier and healthier."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at little treasure in surprise, "Really?! Our little treasure is amazing!" After that, he kissed little treasure on his soft face.


    Gu mohan reached out to take the little treasure in ye zhiqiao''s arms and said seriously on purpose, "Little treasure is getting better and has gained weight. He always hangs on auntie ye. Auntie ye can''t hold you any longer."


    "Um... Dad is bad!" Little treasure looked at ye zhiqiao, who was gradually moving away from him. He pouted and his big eyes suddenly became watery.


    Seeing this, ye zhiqiao hurriedly took little treasure back and lectured gu mohan, "Little treasure is still young. Why are you scaring her so much? How old are you!"


    Gu mohan watched as little treasure got into ye zhiqiao''s arms and smiled triumphantly. He sat down on the stool with a slight disappointment and said, "Ten minutes later, the last result of the physical examination will come out. Let''s go home and eat together."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "Okay."


    Little treasure''s dark eyes rolled around, pulling ye zhiqiao''s sleeve and saying, "Aunt ye, can you always eat with us from now on? I only like your cooking. When you lived at dad''s house before, I ate a lot more every meal."


    Gu mohan looked at his soft and cute daughter with a smile and thought, "Little girl has more ideas than me. Blue is better than blue!"


    Quickly chimed in, "Little treasure is right. The doctor did say that little treasure should pay more attention to food therapy in the future. If you are here, she can eat more, which is very helpful to her recovery."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was still hesitant, gu mohan took advantage of the victory and pursued, "And you have lived at home before. There are many rooms, so there is no inconvenience. Even aunt Li said that if you were there, there would be a lot of excitement in the house."


    "Then... Okay." Ye zhiqiao no longer refused and agreed.


    "Oh yeah!" Little treasure held ye zhiqiao''s face and kissed her, "You can have the meal that aunt ye cooked in the future!"


    "What are you doing?" Gu mohan had been working all morning. When he walked to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee to refresh himself, he saw ye zhiqiao staring at a complete set of recipes and almost getting into a book.


    "Recipes." Ye zhiqiao answered absent-mindedly, and then she said, "What''s going on? The steps are exactly the same. Why is it still wrong?"


    Taking advantage of his height, gu mohan leaned over to take a look and said, "What kind of food is that so difficult to cook?"


    "Pineapple..."


    "Pineapple?" Gu mohan asked, puzzled.


    Ye zhiqiao was already annoyed because she had tried a few times but failed. Now that gu mohan had come to ask questions, she simply pushed his back and walked towards the door, "Hey, stop messing around here. What should I do?"


    After pushing him away, ye zhiqiao concentrated on studying the recipes again.


    "Miss ye, do you know you have to be brave enough to cooperate in order to win?"


    "Why are you back?!"


    Gu mohan darted into the kitchen, wary of being pushed out by her again, cleared his throat and said, "I happen to be tired from work. How about coming over to help you?"


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and looked incredulous, "The eldest young master of the gu group, help me?"


    "Look at how pitiful you are alone. I''ll take it easy."


    "Do you... Know how to cook?"


    He thought he was shocked by his arrival, but he didn''t expect to doubt his ability. Gu mohan grabbed the recipe and said, "What else is going on here? Don''t doubt my ability."


    Ye zhiqiao curled her mouth and did not speak.


    "Pineapple chugging?" Gu mohan looked at the recipe and asked with a frown.


    Ye zhiqiao tidied up the messy desk and replied, "Yes. I think little treasure likes seafood and vegetables, but she doesn''t eat much meat. Meat also contains a lot of nutrients. She should eat some."


    "This dish is sour and sweet. She should like it." Ye zhiqiao handed the frying pan to gu mohan and ordered, "Brush this. Let''s try again."


    How rude!


    Gu mohan took the greasy pot in disgust and walked to the sink, frowning and brushing it.


    ...


    After that, ye zhiqiao gave him several jobs to do in succession. Finally, gu mohan couldn''t stand it any longer and protested, "How long has it been? The dishes haven''t started yet. I''ve been listening to you ask me to do this and that. Your work efficiency is really not good!"


    "This pineapple can''t be cut like this. It will look terrible when cooked."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to turn back to comfort poor comrade gu mohan, but when she saw that he had cut the pineapple into potato chips, she completely forgot what she had just said.


    She took gu Mohan''s left hand, which was holding the chopping board, and the knife in his right hand. Next, she cut a few pieces of pineapple and showed it to him.


    "So... So... Do you understand?"


    After several times of questioning, ye zhiqiao subconsciously turned her head to look and froze in place.


    Just now, she was anxiously drilling in front of the chopping board. Before gu mohan had time to leave, he was now closely behind her, squeezing her body between him and the chopping board in a circling position.


    ...


    I felt my breathing slow by a few beats.


    Ye zhi coincidentally steadied her beating heart and whispered, "You... If you... Understand, then... Quickly... Continue cutting."


    There was no movement behind him.


    "You..."


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously turned around and saw a tall figure suddenly pressing down.


    Gu mohan propped his hands on the table and slowly approached ye zhiqiao.


    The dark eyes were getting closer and closer...


    "Gu mohan!" At the last moment, ye zhiqiao interrupted.


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and suppressed the urge to kiss her. This woman can''t accept such a fast speed. If you can bear it any longer, don''t scare the little white rabbit away.


    After a long time, he leaned close to ye zhiqiao''s ear and let his breath pass her neck on purpose. He said in a low voice, "How do I cut it? I haven''t learned it yet. Teach it again."


    At dinner.


    "Wow! Aunt ye, this meat is delicious. Little treasure puffed his mouth and said contentedly.


    Ye zhi took a look and nodded, not knowing why she felt guilty.


    Gu mohan put a piece in her bowl and said to little treasure, "You can''t just praise your aunt ye. This pineapple chubby meat was made by your father and aunt ye together. It took a lot of effort!"


    "Really, aunt ye?"


    Looking into little treasure''s big, shiny eyes, ye zhiqiao could only nod stiffly.


    Then he looked at gu mohan with a snicker on his face and cursed in his heart: shameless!

 Chapter 58 Make a Friend

    After a busy day, ye zhiqiao returned to gu mohan''s villa, shaking her stiff neck. She cooked with the ingredients that aunt Li had prepared in advance. After eating with little treasure, she hurried back to the bedroom to rest.


    Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a knock on the door, accompanied by aunt Li''s anxious voice: "Miss ye, come down and take a look. Little treasure seems to have a fever!"


    Ye zhi happened to be excited and quickly put on her clothes and ran downstairs.


    Little treasure, who was lying on the sofa, had a red face and kept muttering about his discomfort.


    Aunt Li explained in a panic, "I just cleaned up the kitchen and wanted to come to the living room to play with little treasure, but when I came over, little treasure was like this. This... Was fine for dinner."


    Ye zhi happened to look at xiao bao''s forehead and frowned, "It seems that she has a fever... I''ll take her to the hospital first."


    While aunt Li was at the doctor''s card, ye zhiqiao called gu mohan.


    "Don''t worry. Drive slowly on the way to the hospital. I''ll meet you at the hospital now... Don''t be afraid."


    Aunt Li helped carry little treasure to the car, and ye zhiqiao stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.


    Pulling the blanket on xiao bao''s body, ye zhi gently coaxed, "Xiao bao... Xiao bao is fine. Aunt ye drives very fast and will be at the hospital soon. After uncle doctor sees it, xiao bao won''t feel bad."


    The answer was little treasure''s weak grunt.


    "Be good, little treasure. Hold on a little longer." !!!


    A screech of brakes.


    Ye zhiqiao''s body slammed forward because of inertia, and she quickly reached out to protect little treasure. Fortunately, little treasure was pressed on the seat by ye zhiqiao and was not hurt.


    The car window was tapped three times, and ye zhiqiao turned around and saw a man''s face. He suddenly remembered that when he turned the corner, he was so anxious that he could not control the speed of the car and almost hit the man in front of him.


    She hurriedly pushed the door open and got out of the car. She looked up and down at the man and asked, "I''m sorry sir, are you... Are you hurt? I was in such a hurry. I''m really sorry."


    Ye zhiqiao kept bending down to apologize and had no impression of the man in front of her.


    But yi chen recognized at a glance that this woman was the one who was drunk and almost bullied by hooligans at the hotel entrance a while ago. Fortunately, he saved her.


    Her face was so recognizable that she would never mistake it for anything else. With her dark green hair, she was afraid that the whole city would never find a second one!


    Seeing that the woman was still apologizing endlessly, yi chen pointed at the scratch on his finger and said, "It''s no big deal. You don''t have to keep apologizing. Just go to the hospital and disinfect this wound. Didn''t you have an emergency just now? Let''s get to work."


    Ye zhiqiao saw that he was not seriously injured and gradually lost his panic. She pointed to the car and said, "This child has a fever. I''m going to take her to the hospital. You can come with us. After that, I can compensate you for your treatment expenses."


    Yi chen didn''t hesitate much and answered directly.


    Soon arrived at the hospital, yi chen asked ye zhiqiao to quickly take the child to see a doctor, and then he went to deal with the wound alone.


    Although ye zhiqiao felt sorry, she still agreed when she looked at the little treasure in her arms who was about to burn.


    Xiao bao''s attending doctor carefully examined xiao bao, and then asked the nurse to prepare medicine for the fever to give xiao bao an infusion.


    Ye zhiqiao looked worriedly at little treasure lying on the bed and asked, "Doctor, is little treasure''s illness serious?"


    "Don''t worry." The amiable middle-aged doctor raised his hand to regulate the flow of the medicine and smiled at ye zhiqiao, "It''s nothing serious. She had a fever due to indigestion. Simply put, she had eaten too much during this period of time. Her stomach didn''t have that much capacity before, so a sudden increase in food intake would be a burden on her stomach and intestines."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded thoughtfully and then asked, "Should we control her appetite in the future?"


    The doctor shook his head and said, "Just don''t be too full. Given little treasure''s previous physical condition, it''s good for her to eat more, so the adults don''t have to worry too much. Although she can''t get used to it, it can''t be said that it''s not a good phenomenon."


    Ye zhiqiao understood what the doctor meant, and her heart finally fell to the ground. After thanking the doctor, she sent the doctor to the door and sat back in bed to take care of little treasure.


    "Knock, knock, knock."


    An extra careful knock sounded on the door. Ye zhiqiao looked up and saw yi chen standing outside.


    The two of them had already known each other when they were in the car.


    Ye zhiqiao stood up and walked softly to the door. After carefully closing the door, she asked, "How''s your injury? Is it serious?"


    Yi chen smiled indifferently, "Nothing happened. The doctor said that he could change the medicine again in three days. Where''s little treasure? How is she?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked back at the little baby who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed and said, "She''s fine too. After the infusion, her fever quickly subsided and she''s sleeping soundly now."


    Looking at the peace and joy in ye zhiqiao''s eyes, yi chen couldn''t help but ask curiously, "This child is... Yours?"


    "Hmm?" Ye zhiqiao was stunned by the question, then smiled and explained, "No, it''s a friend''s child."


    Yi chen nodded, not knowing why he felt a little relieved.


    At this moment, gu mohan happened to get off the elevator and saw the two people standing face to face and chatting. He narrowed his eyes slightly.


    He remembered that this man was the one who held ye zhiqiao in front of the hotel.


    Ye zhiqiao also saw him at this time, walked up a few steps and asked, "How did you get here? Is there anything delayed?"


    "Yeah, there was a truck accident on the road. It was stuck for a while." Then he asked, "Where''s little treasure? How''s it going?"


    "The fever has subsided after the infusion. I fell asleep just now. The doctor said that there was no big problem. I just ate too much recently and had indigestion. I can take care of it later."


    Gu mohan nodded and looked at yi chen, "Who is this?"


    "Oh!" Ye zhiqiao was busy telling gu mohan about little treasure''s illness and kept yi chen hanging there by himself. She quickly said with embarrassment, "This is yi chen. I was too anxious to drive on the way here. I accidentally scratched his leg. Fortunately, he was nice and didn''t bother with me."


    Then he turned to yi chen and said, "But I will pay for the medical expenses."


    Yi chen smiled at ye zhiqiao and said, "No, there''s not much money. Since we both know each other, let''s make friends. Don''t talk about money all the time."


    Gu mohan looked at him with a grim face and thought to himself, we have to make friends as long as we know each other. Although he saved ye zhiqiao last time, he might not be such a good person just because he looked familiar to him.

 Chapter 59 "mengxing" New Product Launch

    Although ye zhiqiao also felt that it was a little abrupt to ask for friends on the first meeting, she felt that yi chen was a very kind and gentle person just now. Maybe this was his usual style of doing things, so she didn''t think much about it and wanted to answer it.


    Before he could speak, gu mohan suddenly spoke.


    "We can talk about making friends later, but we must pay for the compensation. Brothers know how to settle accounts, right?"


    "This..." Yi chen looked at ye zhiqiao awkwardly.


    Gu mohan took out the wallet first, took out a few of them and handed them to yi chen, "She''s a woman who doesn''t understand. Just listen to me."


    Ye zhiqiao helplessly curved her lips and nodded to signal yi chen to take it in.


    "In that case, fine." Yi chen sighed and took one from gu Mohan''s hand, "That''s enough."


    Then he turned to ye zhiqiao and said, "I took the money, then..."


    "Zhiqiao, little treasure seems to be awake. Let''s go in and have a look."


    Ye zhi happened to look at the ward a few meters away and asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"


    Gu mohan didn''t answer, so he pulled her back and said, "Mr. Yi, I''m sorry. Please help yourself."


    Yi chen looked at ye zhiqiao''s sincere and apologetic eyes and said, "It''s okay."


    Then, she sneaked a business card to her when she passed by.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at yi chen and blinked at her. Thinking of gu mohan''s strange attitude towards yi chen, she put the business card back in her bag.


    After entering the ward, little treasure really woke up. Ye zhiqiao said in her heart, is there really a connection between father and daughter?


    Then he turned his head to look at gu mohan''s gloomy face after he drove away yi chen and immediately rejected the idea.


    After xiao bao''s fever subsided, he became more energetic. Seeing that there was still a bottle of water left, he insisted on hanging it in the corridor like the others.


    The two of them could not resist her coquettish behavior and thought that she did not like the quiet atmosphere in the ward, so they agreed.


    Little treasure went out to the chair and became more cheerful. Gu mohan was afraid that she would roll the needle, so he held her and sat with his right hand protecting her hand from the transfusion.


    How could the little guy be so honest? Her free hand kept climbing up gu mohan''s neck, occasionally lifting his eyelids and tugging at his eyebrows. "Daddy, why are your eyebrows so dark?" She mumbled."


    Gu mohan couldn''t help it. Little treasure was sick and it was hard to teach her a lesson. Seeing that ye zhiqiao, who had gone out to buy milk, happened to come back, he called her, "Come and take care of this little girl. She''s getting skinnier and skinnier."


    Ye zhiqiao put down her shopping bag with a smile and sat beside her, "Little treasure, are you bullying your father again?"


    "Hmph!" Little treasure propped up his roundly wrapped body on gu mohan''s lap, his claws reaching out to his ears, and he said angrily, "I didn''t bully him. He bullied me and never let me move!"


    At this time, an aunt who was sitting on the other side of the water said with a smile, "This little girl is so funny, she is a ghost!"


    Gu mohan was not used to communicating with strangers. He looked at his daughter in his arms and smiled without saying a word.


    Ye zhi coincidentally replied, "Yes, she has such a clever little brain."


    "Yeah." The aunt nodded in agreement, then said, "The little baby is also beautiful, just like her mother."


    "!"


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were stunned at the same time.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and carefully examined xiao bao''s features. Her eyes were big, her eyebrows were well shaped, her nose was not very tall but delicate, and her mouth was very fleshy.


    Also, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between the expressions.


    I once had a child.


    Ye zhiqiao reached out and stroked her flat abdomen, where it had been raised high, and there was a baby girl who could already kick people.


    After the car accident, the baby was gone, but she had never seen the dead baby. Maybe...


    And little treasure, who was unusually close to her when they first met, even because her strange illness had improved since she was a child. Was it really just a coincidence?


    Ever since that aunt said that, ye zhiqiao had been staring at her stomach in a daze, and gu mohan had seen her strange behavior.


    His eyes narrowed slightly.


    At eleven o'' clock at night, in the gu family villa, in the study.


    "Help me investigate ye zhiqiao."


    Qin ning was obviously stunned on the other end of the phone, then confirmed, "You are talking about little treasure''s aunt ye, is that ye zhiqiao?"


    Gu mohan said, "Yes." In fact, he also thought that his idea was a little ridiculous. After all, it was just a baseless guess, but he still said, "It''s her. Check the woman who appeared in the hotel again."


    "You... You mean... You suspect that miss ye was from the past..."


    "Just investigate and tell me the results." Gu mohan''s mind was also in a mess.


    Qin ning immediately agreed, "Okay."


    "Wake up" product launch site.


    "Hello, audience and friends, I am here to broadcast to you the new product launch site of the famous fashion designer''mengxing'', Ms. Ye zhiqiao, president of the mengxing group under the gu corporation..."


    The cameraman''s camera turned and focused on ye zhiqiao, who was slowly walking onto the stage in a short white dress.


    The reporter stopped the incessant introduction, and the audience immediately quieted down, looking forward to ye zhiqiao''s opening speech.


    In fact, this press conference was only held in the name of ye zhiqiao, and ye zhiqiao''s own design works will be displayed.


    But ye zhiqiao is not only the designer "Mengxing," she is also the president of mengxing group. She represents not only herself, but also the whole mengxing group, and even the famous gu enterprise.


    So today, as long as there are a certain number of people in the business world, many media rushed to report and promote, not only to give "Wake up" face, but also for gu mohan, the person in power of the gu family.


    At this time, gu mohan was wearing a gray suit, as usual, with a cold expression and focused on the situation on the stage. Only when he looked at ye zhiqiao''s occasional gaze would he show a smile.


    "Then, let''s enjoy the latest design by the designer, lady''mengxing'', the autumn and winter custom-made clothing."


    As the host announced, the stage suddenly darkened, and then a beam of white light followed, and the tall model in the dress slowly walked over.

 Chapter 60 Who Stole Whose Design?

    Everyone was attracted by the beautiful scene, and no one noticed that ye yiyu, who was sitting in the second row, quietly turned around and looked at Dong Yueyue, who was sitting at the end, then slowly raised the corner of her mouth.


    Forty minutes later, all the models walked onto the stage together, and ye zhiqiao walked in the center, ending the show with everyone.


    "Well, today''s new product launch is officially over here, everyone..."


    "Wait a minute!" At the end of the stage, a loud female voice interrupted the host''s closing speech.


    The host ignored the commotion under the stage and was about to continue when a nimble figure jumped onto the stage from the side.


    Dong Yueyue walked quickly to the center of the stage, raising his eyebrows and smiling as he passed ye zhiqiao.


    She snatched the microphone from the host''s hand and cleared her throat, "Hello, everyone. I''m Dong Yueyue, the daughter of Dong Jianlin, the former president of the board of directors. Most of the people here should be familiar with me."


    Sure enough, after she said that, the audience began to whisper.


    "I know that the last time I messed up at this miss ye zhiqiao''s''mengxing group'' press conference, I might have caused a lot of people to criticize me, but this time, I''m not here to cause trouble on purpose. Everyone knows that my father is in a critical situation, and I don''t have time or energy to do these useless things again."


    "In that case, what are you doing here?" An employee below the stage could not bear to see her making trouble again and again, choking.


    Dong Yueyue smiled and looked at the man, "You used to be an employee of my Dong shi. I didn''t expect you to be bribed by ye zhiqiao in such a short time and start speaking for her."


    The man''s face turned blue and white, and he shut his mouth.


    "Of course, people die for money, birds die for food. You move Fengxin''s head for a living, and no one else can talk about it." Dong Yueyue said this with a smile.


    The next second, his tone suddenly became sharp, "Fortunately, I still have some conscience and backbone left in my Dong shi!"


    Dong Yueyue looked at the audience and said in a harsh voice, "Fortunately, these people, although they live in order to live under the door of mengxing group, but I still remember the Dong shi once warned them about the purpose of life. After finding out time and time again that" mengxing," that is, ye zhiqiao stole someone else''s design for her own use, she finally couldn''t bear the condemnation of her conscience and chose to tell me these things!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the pot suddenly exploded.


    "What?!"


    "Stealing, she said that the design of mengxing was copied from someone else!"


    "No way. Isn''t mengxing famous internationally? How could..."


    "Maybe all the previous fame was copied?"


    The discussion grew louder and louder, and the staff on and off the stage looked at each other.


    Ye zhiqiao calmed down from her initial surprise and invited the models back backstage before coming to Dong Yueyue.


    Instead of avoiding the microphone, he said directly, "You said that I stole the design draft and wanted evidence. This kind of thing can''t be fabricated out of thin air."


    Dong Yueyue sneered, "Of course I have evidence. Your men have already told me. Otherwise, do you think I would be so stupid to give you a chance to clean up the evidence?"


    Then she turned around to face the audience and said loudly, "According to the information I got, ye zhiqiao stole someone else''s design draft and now it''s on the hard drive she used to speak to. If she doesn''t have a ghost in her heart..."


    Dong Yueyue stared into ye zhiqiao''s eyes and said word by word, "Why don''t you take it out now and let''s have a look?"


    Everyone below said in unison, asking ye zhiqiao to take out the hard drive to prove it and give everyone an explanation.


    Ye zhiqiao had a clear conscience and was naturally not afraid. On the spot, she told her assistant to open the hard disk, connect the computer, and put it on the big screen.


    "What... What''s going on?" Xiao Man looked at the design draft with ye yiyu''s name appearing out of thin air on the hard drive and looked at ye zhiqiao in a panic.


    Of course, ye zhiqiao saw it too. Everyone present saw it through the big screen!


    Before ye zhiqiao could react, ye yiyu, who had been sitting down watching the play, suddenly stood up and pointed at ye zhiqiao, "You stole my design draft! How could you do that? You are my sister. I trust you so much. Is this how you repay my trust?"


    "I..."


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to speak, ye yiyu interrupted, "Haven''t you always looked down on my designs? Didn''t you always belittle me as an international designer? So what''s going on now? Even the design of me, a small person, you have to go to great lengths to copy. Are you exhausted and unable to design new works? Or..."


    Ye yiyu hugged his arm and sneered, "Everything you did before, was copied like this?"


    Ye yi fluently said these thought-provoking words, as if he had practiced it many times, just waiting for the last blow to completely crush ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu''s confident appearance and suddenly calmed down with a trace of panic.


    She had already realized that this was a play performed by ye yiyu and Dong Yueyue, so what was there to be afraid of?


    "Now that I have made a clear list of my crimes, can I say a few words?" Ye yi said softly.


    Dong Yueyue looked at ye zhiqiao, who was calm and calm, as if she had no choice but to apologize and struggle to the death. Without much thought, she threw the microphone into her hands.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up the microphone and said to the crowd who had gradually calmed down, "There is actually a large part of what miss ye yiyu said just now that I need to return it to her. I am really sorry for letting everyone watch such a farce, but I hope everyone can calm down and watch another one."


    Ye yiyu was shocked. Although she didn''t know what ye zhiqiao was going to do, she still felt that something might change.


    Ye zhiqiao walked over and whispered a few words to Xiao Man. Xiao Man immediately widened her eyes in surprise, then walked back to the operating table and chose a video to play from her laptop.


    In the video, there was a quiet company hallway. For the first few minutes, the image seemed to have stopped moving. One of them couldn''t help but ask loudly, "What are you looking at?" Suddenly, a figure appeared sneakily in the video.


    The man immediately covered his mouth and sat back in his seat. He held his breath and looked carefully at the screen.


    The figure gradually approached, looked around a few times, then pushed open the door and walked in.


    ...


    Five minutes later, the figure came out with a folder in his hand. After looking again, he walked in the same direction.


    Ye yiyu stood there with a pale face.


    Because the video clearly showed that the figure was her ye yiyu!!

 Chapter 61 You Know the Consequences of Provoking the Gu Family Very Well

    Ye zhiqiao raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly, "Since this is the case, I will no longer hide from everyone here. In fact, most of the designs at ye yiyu''s final product launch were copied from my work."


    "But as she just said, I am her sister. Even if I discovered her behavior, I still couldn''t bear to say it would hurt her. With my father''s persuasion, I had already made a decision to bury this matter forever."


    "But yi yu," ye zhiqiao said sadly, facing the direction of ye yi yu, "Why can''t you get lost? Are you afraid that your sister will expose what you have done, so you must push her into a corner? If you hadn''t set her up again and again, my sister wouldn''t have risked your reputation to say that."


    Ye yiyu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to resist the urge to tear this woman apart.


    She had forgotten that this woman still had this chip in her hand! If only I had listened to my father and pretended to lower my head, and...!!!


    No, dad told her to apply for copyright as soon as possible, and the news of the successful copyright application happened to come out last night!


    Haha, ye zhiqiao, you''re done!


    Ye yiyu regained her composure and walked up the stage.


    "Who is the designer? Even if you say it yourself, the copyright given by the state is the most fair..." Ye yiyu said as he walked to the computer, "Because I didn''t expect ye zhiqiao to have to defend herself against the hard evidence. I didn''t have time to prepare in a hurry, but as long as I entered my account number on the website, I could immediately see that all my works have successfully applied for copyright."


    As ye yiyu pressed the keyboard a few times, everyone saw that what she said was true.


    For a moment, the reproach was directed at ye zhiqiao again.


    Ye zhiqiao froze in shock. She did not expect ye yiyu to keep such a hand behind her. Now, there was no point in saying anything else.


    "The video was indeed true, but that was because ye zhiqiao stole my work and was unwilling to return it after being discovered. I really had no way to do this."


    Ye yiyu put the microphone on the table and walked to ye zhiqiao, who had been unable to recover for a long time. She pressed her ear and whispered, "How is it, ye zhiqiao? This time, I won!"


    Dong Yueyue just listened to ye yiyu''s arrangement and sent it to ye zhiqiao''s hard drive, then exposed it at the press conference. She did not know what was going on between ye zhiqiao and ye yiyu, and she did not want to know that her only purpose was... To avenge her father!


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was no longer able to make a comeback, Dong Yueyue stepped forward and said scornfully, "For a person like you, you still keep saying that my father would do anything for the sake of profit. I think you are the one who would do anything for the sake of fame and wealth."


    Now that the situation was good, Dong Yueyue squeezed out a few tears and choked, "I didn''t expect my father to work so hard for so many years and be framed by you in his middle age. If you want the Dong shi, you can compete in a bright way. Why harm people?"


    "I was really protected by dad... Too well, the filth and evils of society I... I didn''t know, so you forced me to be speechless last time!"


    Someone came up and helped Dong Yueyue, who was "Devastated," stagger out of the meeting.


    The reporters below the stage swarmed in and surrounded ye zhiqiao.


    A variety of tricky and insightful questions followed.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t dare to say anything in front of the camera. She was very clear that she was wrong. Now, no matter what she said, she would be portrayed as a different person.


    "Mengxing" ''s new product launch was not as good as "Mengxing" ''s fake plagiarism and framing his own sister!


    Just when ye zhiqiao thought that she might not be able to escape until night, a tall figure suddenly walked through the crowd and walked straight towards her.


    Gu mohan had been confused by the accusations of the three women, and he had not stepped forward without getting any real information. Because that might not help ye zhiqiao, but it would deepen the misunderstanding of others.


    Qin ning used the fastest time to confirm that the copyright of ye yi language was indeed not faked. After reporting to gu mohan, she hurriedly investigated the relationship between Dong Yueyue and ye yi language.


    Seeing ye zhi coincidentally bite her lips and be surrounded by a group of people like wolves, gu mohan finally couldn''t help but stand up and walk over, blocking in front of her.


    Sure enough, he attracted all the attention as soon as he came over.


    "Did you know that the former chairman of Dong shi was framed by ye zhiqiao?"


    "President gu, please answer this question. What do you think of the''mengxing group'' under the gu corporation that has just started?"


    "You seem to have a good personal relationship with miss'' wake up'', so..."


    Gu mohan raised his hand to interrupt the reporters'' questions and said firmly to the camera, "''mengxing'' is not only an employee of my company, but also an excellent partner of the gu corporation. The gu corporation has complete trust in its partners and hopes that the public can trust the vision of the gu corporation."


    A female reporter with large round glasses asked loudly, "But how do you explain what happened in the past few days? Please give us all an answer!"


    Before he could finish speaking, the others echoed.


    The noisy voice made gu mohan subconsciously frown and then said, "Today''s incident happened suddenly. Please give the gu family a month to investigate, and then we will give you a satisfactory answer."


    Then he said in a low voice to the reporters present, "But if there were any false reports about this before then... You know the consequences very well."


    The originally chaotic venue quieted down because of gu mohan''s deep voice and threatening eyes.


    Everyone was silent and the reporters dispersed as quickly as they could.


    Soon, there were only two people left in the grand hall.


    Gu mohan looked worriedly at the woman who had been keeping her head down since the beginning, not knowing what to say to comfort her.


    "You don''t have to look at me like that. I''m not that fragile." Ye zhiqiao raised her head and did not look lost.


    His eyes were so direct and intense that they couldn''t be ignored even if he wanted to.


    Gu mohan carefully examined ye zhiqiao for a long time and finally felt relieved to see that she was not too sad.


    Ye zhiqiao let out a deep breath and said, "It was really dangerous just now. It was like acting in a movie. The plot flipped back and forth."


    Seeing gu Mohan''s expression of "You are still in the mood to joke," ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "But I really thank you just now. I know very well how much ye yiyu and Dong Yueyue hate me, so I am also mentally prepared to do whatever they can, but when those reporters surround me, I really don''t know what to do. Fortunately, you came to help me out."


    "This is not the time to talk about it." Gu mohan saw that ye zhiqiao''s sincere eyes were staring at him, and his heart could not help but beat wildly. He quickly turned and walked out to hide it.


    "We have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible." Gu mohan said as he walked.

 Chapter 62 Ye Yiyu Regretted Answering the Battle

    "Ah!" Jian mengqi exclaimed and almost jumped out of her chair.


    She went abroad with Qin Baiye a few days ago, but as soon as she came back, she heard that something happened to ye zhi, so she quickly left Qin Baiye and ran to the gu family villa to look for her.


    After listening to ye zhiqiao roughly explain the situation of that day, jian mengqi was so angry that her teeth itched and she shouted, "This ye yi language is really shameless. She can think of such a disgusting way. And that Dong Yueyue, I knew her before, a useless rich second generation, few people can see her. Now that her father has fallen, she doesn''t know where to jump out and do bad things!"


    Gu mohan glanced at little treasure''s bedroom upstairs and said, "The most urgent thing now is to find a way to solve it. If you scold, go home and scold. Little treasure is taking a nap. Don''t make any noise."


    She was immune to gu mohan''s cold words, but jian mengqi ignored him and then spoke to ye zhiqiao, "What are you going to do next? If I were to say that the Dong shi is already in your hands, Dong Yueyue doesn''t have to worry about her no matter what. Ye yiyu does have to deal with it as soon as possible."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded in agreement.


    Now everyone''s eyes are focused on the designer "Mengxing." Whether it is the development on the design road in the future or the future trend of mengxing group, they are all concentrated on "Mengxing."


    Gu mohan put down the coffee cup in his hand and said, "If it''s really difficult, I can use some connections and directly revoke the copyright of ye yiyu..."


    "Hey! That''s a good idea!" Before gu mohan could finish speaking, jian mengqi interrupted excitedly, "Defeat her directly from the source, quickly and accurately!"


    "What do you think is sewage treatment? And defeat from the source." Gu mohan glanced at her lightly.


    "Hmph!" Jian mengqi held her arms and turned her head away, ignoring him.


    Anyway, there was no way to argue, and he always got involved in it.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and smiled for a long time before saying, "This is a good idea, but not suitable."


    "Why?" Asked jian mengqi.


    "Everyone at the venue saw the copyright of ye yiyu''s work with their own eyes, and now it''s suddenly canceled for no reason. It might attract even more suspicion." Ye zhiqiao looked at jian mengqi and explained.


    "That''s what I didn''t finish. I won''t use this method unless I have to." Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao and said word by word, "And this method is not bright. If you do this, how is it different from ye yiyu''s behavior?"


    Ye zhiqiao also looked over, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, thinking exactly the same.


    Jian mengqi had a goosebump on her face when she looked at the two people who had the same idea. Then she said, "Come on, don''t be disgusting. If this can''t work, think of something else."


    Ye zhiqiao took out a document from behind and handed it to them separately, then said, "This is an invitation to the annual'' international designer competition''. There is less than ten days left before the opening of this year."


    "The judges of this competition have always been internationally important designers with high professionalism. As long as I can participate in this competition with ye yiyu, then it will be clear who is real and who is fake."


    Jian mengqi asked, "She''s not stupid. Can she agree?"


    "Don''t worry, I have my own way."


    The next day, ye''s company.


    The secretary ran upstairs anxiously and whispered a few words in ye yi''s ear.


    Ye yiyu frowned and thought, what is she doing here?


    Ye zhiqiao was explaining in detail to the reporters and friends that gu mohan had helped find. Her purpose for coming here was to smile politely at the flickering cameras.


    When she saw ye yiyu coming out suspiciously, she quickly stepped forward to meet her, and a large group of reporters behind her also quickly followed.


    "Ye zhiqiao, what do you mean?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu''s face, which looked like a fly, and said with a smile, "I want to make an invitation to you today."


    "Invitation?" Ye yiyu squinted at the reporters and asked, "What invitation?"


    "The famous'' international designer competition'' in the design world is about to begin in a while. I''m sure you''ve heard of it with your design skills."


    What competition? Ye yi''s language was unheard of, but ye zhiqiao''s meaning seemed to be very powerful, so he did not want to show his timidity and said, "I... Of course I know!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that you would never take such a competition seriously."


    Ye yiyu raised her chin and snorted.


    "In that case, I will officially invite you to participate in this year''s competition and compete with me on the field. How about that?"


    "What?!" Ye yiyu looked at ye zhiqiao in shock.


    Ye yiyu knew very well that the difference between her and ye zhiqiao was not just a small bit. In the past, some of the works that could get a little good reviews were copied from her. If they were to face each other, they would definitely lose!


    Ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu''s darkening face, suppressed her smile and said, "I have paid special attention to your recent schedule. It seems that there is no conflict with the competition time. If you don''t agree, I''m afraid everyone will misunderstand."


    Misunderstanding? Yes, she had already said that. If she made an excuse to say no, it would definitely make people think she was scared, and there were so many cameras still shooting...


    Thinking of this, ye yiyu decided to go all out and shouted, "I promise! I was going to say yes. Why did you say so many useless things?!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at ye yiyu, who wanted to kill herself, but was helpless, and slowly burst into a smile.


    Ye yiyu turned on her computer and searched for information about the international designer competition.


    "Snap!"


    She reached out and hit the keyboard hard.


    This vicious woman, she knew that ye zhiqiao that woman would not have any good intentions!


    This competition has been held for ten years in a row, and the designers on top of it are all world-class. People like ye yiyu, who have no real talent, will show off their skills immediately. If she accused ye zhiqiao of plagiarizing her work, she would break it.


    But at that time, she did not stand ye zhiqiao''s provocation, and in order to put on a high profile in front of the media, she had already agreed, and now it is too late to go back on her word.


    There''s only one week left before the competition starts. Can you think of anything else besides waiting to die?


    Just as ye yiyu was at a loss, the servant knocked on the door and walked in, saying that a guest was waiting for her in the living room.

 Chapter 63 Ye Zhiqiao Was the Woman of That Year

    Ye yiyu went down the stairs and saw Dong Yueyue sitting on the sofa drinking drinks and snacks.


    How rude!


    Ye yiyu sat down beside her and asked, "Why are you here? Can I help you?"


    Dong Yueyue looked up and finished eating the chips in the bag. He picked up a cup of yogurt and said, "I''m fine, but I know you''re busy, so I came to help you."


    "Me? What can I do for you?" Ye yi''s pragmatic eyes signaled the servant standing by to come over and take away the garbage bag pushed on the table, then asked.


    "Isn''t it on tv? You promised ye zhiqiao that you would go to that competition with her." Dong Yueyue pointed at the tv and said.


    "So what?"


    Dong Yueyue finished the rest of the yogurt in one gulp and smiled, "Don''t pretend. I''ve seen it for a long time. Ye zhiqiao can''t compete with you in terms of scheming, but you are definitely not her opponent in terms of design."


    Ye yiyu raised his eyebrows and raised his voice, "What do you mean?!"


    "Don''t worry. Although what I said is not good, my thoughts are the same as yours. Our common enemy is ye zhiqiao, isn''t it? I really came here to help you this time." Dong Yueyue handed her a box of yogurt.


    Ye yiyu glanced at her, then took it and asked, "Do you have a way?"


    "Yeah." Dong Yueyue relaxed and leaned back against the sofa, "You can''t avoid competing, but we can find a way to make ye zhiqiao unable to compete."


    Yes, as long as ye zhiqiao does not participate, no matter what the result of ye yiyu''s competition is, there is no way to prove that she is inferior to ye zhiqiao. Perhaps the public opinion will turn to ye zhiqiao, saying that she is afraid of revealing her secrets so that she does not dare to participate.


    Ye yiyu couldn''t help but smile at the thought of that scene.


    "If she can''t compete, that''s great. What''s your plan?"


    Dong Yueyue narrowed his eyes and said, "I can make her have an accident..."


    "Accident?"


    "That kind of accident, don''t you understand?"


    Facing Dong Yueyue''s venomous and cold eyes, ye yiyu felt a chill in her heart and shivered unconsciously.


    I think I understand.


    "Then what do you want to do?" Ye yiyu carefully probed.


    Dong Yueyue waved his hand, "You don''t have to care what I do. You just have to promise me that after I''m done, I''ll get someone to help me with the marks."


    "No!" Ye yiyu refused without thinking.


    Then he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know it''s illegal?"


    Dong Yueyue seemed to have heard a joke, "Breaking the law? Isn''t it illegal for you to steal her work? Isn''t it illegal for you to set her up? Why do you suddenly know that you''re scared?"


    Ye yi''s tone was terrible, and he replied, "Can it be the same?! Can you say the same thing as I did before? You are killing her! Did you know that you were going to jail if you were found out?!"


    "Yo! I didn''t expect you to still be a principled person?"


    Ye yiyu turned her head and stopped answering.


    Dong Yueyue put away the look he had just discussed and put on a fierce expression, "You have to do it, or you have to do it! I advise you not to drink without punishment!"


    Ye yiyu stopped suppressing her anger and said, "I said I won''t do it!"


    "Okay." Dong Yueyue suddenly smiled grimly.


    "If that''s the case, don''t expect me to hide what you''ve done before! If I go to jail one day, you have to follow me in!"


    When ye guojun came back from outside at night, he saw the darkness in the house and turned on the lights in the living room.


    She was shocked to see the person sitting on the sofa.


    "Xiao yu, why don''t you turn on the lights while you''re sitting here?"


    Ye yiyu had been waiting for an afternoon, and when she saw her father finally coming back, she immediately burst into tears, scaring ye guojun into sitting next to her.


    "What''s wrong? What''s wrong? Tell daddy. Daddy will help you find a way."


    Ye yiyu sobbed and told Dong Yueyue everything he had said when he came in the afternoon. He told him the reason and the consequence. The more ye guojun listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.


    After ye yi finished speaking, he asked, "Dad, what should I do?"


    Ye guojun thought about it and asked, "Did you promise Dong Yueyue?"


    "No." Ye yiyu shook her head and said, "I asked her to give me some time to think about it first."


    "There''s nothing to consider!" Ye guojun stood up and said, "Whether you answer or not, dad won''t let you do this!"


    "Why?"


    Ye guojun gritted his teeth and said, "If she doesn''t want to live, she will die on her own. No one will stop her, but you can''t be stupid. The things she threatened you are not a big deal. If you are afraid of agreeing to her, then something big will happen. You must leave this matter alone and go with her!"


    Ye yiyu nodded.


    Now ye guojun was like her backbone, she would listen to anything she said.


    On the other side, gu mohan was holding the information qin ning had just sent over, his face clouding.


    It clearly said that ye zhiqiao was the woman who had spent the night with him in the hotel, which meant that she was little treasure''s mother.


    Finally, he found his mother for little treasure, and he liked her very much. The two of them got along very well, which should be a good thing. But...


    Gu mohan sighed.


    Is it really as simple as it seems?


    After five years of separation, he happened to meet her at a crowded airport. Facing a strange woman, little treasure was not afraid at all, and he became familiar with her all of a sudden. Even he... Gradually fell into it.


    Was all this just a coincidence of fate?


    Whether it was five years ago or now, everything was coincidental and unbelievable. Was it god''s will or did someone do it on purpose?


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and thought back to the little things that happened with ye zhiqiao during this time.


    Ye zhiqiao is very good, if she can be little treasure''s mother and then walk with her, it is really good, but she... What if she deliberately approached with ulterior motives?


    Gu mohan picked up the car keys and got up to go home.


    Ye zhiqiao worked overtime for several hours. She dragged her tired body home at 9 pm and saw gu mohan sitting on the sofa reading a magazine as soon as she entered.


    "The company has something to do today, so I just worked overtime. What did little treasure eat tonight? Are you asleep now?" Ye zhiqiao asked casually.


    However, gu mohan did not answer with the usual patient smile, but sat there expressionless.


    Ye zhiqiao felt strange and asked, "What''s wrong? What happened to the company? Who made you angry again?"

 Chapter 64 Gu Mohan, Please Let Me Go

    Gu mohan raised his eyelids and looked at her.


    She was still thin and bright, but now she always looked different.


    Suspicions are like Pandora''s magic box. Once a crack is opened, all the demons and monsters inside will come out.


    "Come with me to the study. I have something to ask you." After a long time, gu mohan spat out a word.


    Ye zhiqiao had no choice but to follow him.


    "Close the door." Gu mohan said.


    What''s going on? What kind of wind is it?


    Ye zhiqiao spat in her heart, then closed the door obediently.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Gu mohan stood by the window and looked at the night outside for a long time. It was not until ye zhiqiao couldn''t stand it and was about to say it was over that he slowly said, "You said you stayed abroad for five years. You lived in china five years ago, didn''t you?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said strangely, "Yes."


    "Did anything special happen to you when you were in the country? Or rather, why did you go to a foreign country and live alone for five years?"


    Ye zhiqiao frowned doubtfully and replied, "Why are you asking this?"


    Answer me!"


    Gu mohan suddenly raised his voice and startled ye zhiqiao.


    "No!" Ye zhiqiao was tired and sleepy. Gu mohan had been asking strange questions endlessly, and now it seemed like she was going to lose her temper. She no longer controlled her emotions, and said angrily.


    "Are you sure?" Gu mohan looked out of the window and narrowed his eyes dangerously.


    I really don''t know what happened to him today. Ye zhiqiaoqiang opened her eyes and said dejectedly, "Really, I''m so sleepy. When can I go back to sleep?"


    Gu mohan turned around and stared at ye zhiqiao word by word, "For the last time, did anything happen to you five years ago?"


    "No, no, no -" ye zhiqiao closed her eyes and said in a long voice, "If you don''t have anything else, I''ll go."


    Ye zhiqiao had just put her hand on the doorknob when her shoulder was suddenly pulled and her arm was grabbed by a big hand.


    "I advise you to tell the truth. I can forgive you for what you did, or else... You know what? I, gu Mohan, hate women who are full of schemes!"


    She was so scared that her shoulders and arms hurt. Ye zhiqiao had already frowned and tears were coming out.


    Who would have thought that this man was not apologetic at all and actually said something that he hated her the most? Ye zhiqiao''s temper also rose and she shook her arm and shouted, "I don''t know what you said! If only you hated me and let me go! And... And you don''t have to hate me, and I don''t like you either! Let go... Let go!"


    Look down on him?


    Hearing what ye zhiqiao said, gu mohan became even angrier.


    "Look down on me? I want to see how you despise me!"


    With that, he pulled her thin, boneless arm and pulled her out of the door.


    "What are you doing? What are you doing? You let go of me... I can leave on my own!"


    Ye zhiqiao was pulled out by gu mohan like a piece of garbage.


    I thought he would throw himself out the door, but I didn''t expect that he was heading towards the stairs, and that he was on the side of his bedroom!


    Ye zhiqiao discovered this problem in her panic and then struggled even harder.


    "Gu mohan, what are you doing?! What the hell are you doing?!"


    "You." Gu mohan stretched out his hand and opened ye zhiqiao''s fingers one by one, holding the stairs tightly and spat out a word.!!!


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened and looked at gu mohan in disbelief.


    Just as she was distracted, she was picked up and carried on her shoulders.


    "You bastard, gu mohan! Put me down... Are you human?! Bastard!" Ye zhiqiao had no idea at all and scolded in a panic.


    Gu mohan slapped her butt and said, "You''d better be quiet. Little treasure is sleeping. Do you want to wake her up and show her what you look like?"


    "You!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened, and tears filled her eyes, then fell down like broken beads.


    Back in the bedroom, gu mohan stretched out his legs and kicked the door shut.


    Then he walked to the bed and threw ye zhiqiao on it.


    Ye zhiqiao was thrown onto the bed like a sack, dizzy for a long time before she could barely open her eyes. Just as she was about to grab the bedsheet and climb up, a tall figure covered her.


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and closed her eyes.


    The usual elegant and clean smell only made people feel nauseous.


    Ye zhi skillfully tried to push away the person on her body with her hands and feet, but the power gap between men and women was so great that she struggled for a long time and was still pinned down by gu mohan, not moving a single inch.


    "Gu mohan, I was wrong. Will you let me go?" There was really no way, ye zhiqiao had to cry for mercy.


    "Tell me what I did wrong... Tell me that I changed, or that you hate me... I... I''m leaving right now, don''t... Don''t..."


    The only answer was the sound of the fabric being ripped open.


    Intermittently...


    The man on his body didn''t say a word, but his men were fierce.


    When the feeling of pain was ten thousand times more painful than expected came from under her body, ye zhiqiao finally stopped struggling.


    She clenched her teeth and said nothing.


    Tears trickled down the corners of her eyes into her ears and then into her newly grown black hair.


    A hollow look like a puppet.


    It was like floating wood trapped in the middle of the deep sea, bouncing and floating, losing all hope.


    Sensing the pain of the woman beneath him, gu mohan''s heart suddenly softened and he lowered his head to lightly imprint a kiss on her head.


    However, ye zhiqiao was immersed in endless despair and did not notice it.


    ...


    ...


    After a long time, the streetlights outside had gone out in half. From the window that had not closed the curtains, one could see that the moon was already high in the night sky and there was no star in the dark blue sky.


    Ye zhiqiao kept staring at the highest branch, where seven leaves were growing. She counted them over and over again.


    Until the man on him finally stopped and left.


    Ye zhiqiao lay silent on the messy bed until gu mohan came back from her bedroom to take her clothes.


    Ye zhiqiao did not show her sincere eyes to the person who helped her, and then thanked him. Instead, she silently took the clothes from his hands and put them on.


    She could not see the bruises all over her body, nor could she feel the pain all over her body. She was just silent, silent...

 Chapter 65 Tonight Is Your Time to Die

    Ye zhiqiao put on clothes one by one to cover her naked body, while gu Mohan had already changed into high-quality silk pajamas and sat by the bed.


    She sneered in her heart. Now she was like an animal at the mercy of others. After making her master happy, she licked her wounds and cleaned up the mess.


    Really, disgusting.


    When gu mohan came back, he turned on the headlights in the room. At this moment, he regretted what he had done. Because under the bright light, he clearly saw ye zhiqiao''s white skin, which looked like a sheep-fat jade, covered with mottled marks, reminding him of what he had done to her just now.


    He averted his eyes and looked away, but there was no peace in his heart.


    After some time, ye zhiqiao finally put on her clothes and broke the silence.


    "Gu mohan."


    Hearing her call his name, gu mohan''s eyes lit up and he turned around immediately. But when he felt the hoarseness in the voice, he lowered his eyes again.


    She screamed and begged for mercy, and he didn''t stop crying a few times. He was really... A jerk.


    Gu mohan thought, whether ye zhiqiao hit him or scolded him, or whether she did it on purpose or not, he must not get angry again, and must coax her properly.


    Ye zhiqiao let out a light breath and called out again, "Gu mohan."


    Gu mohan raised his head and looked at the woman who had been turning her back to him and facing him, but his eyes were elsewhere without focus.


    "I..." Gu mohan had a lot to say, but now he couldn''t say anything, so he said softly, "I''m sorry."


    Ye zhiqiao held the corner of her mouth and shook her head.


    She really found it amusing that this man who had just acted like a wild beast and started apologizing so soon after the incident was over. It was really... Ridiculous.


    "I can forgive you."


    Gu mohan did not expect such an answer. "You..."


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyes to meet his surprised gaze and successfully stopped what he was about to say, then slowly said, "I forgive you. Do you think it''s strange?"


    "Ha..." She smiled softly, "You don''t have to be surprised. Shouldn''t you have thought of this outcome long ago?"


    "What else can I do besides forgive you? Are you going to sue you for rape?"


    Gu mohan frowned.


    Ye zhiqiao continued, "Don''t worry, I won''t be so stupid. You have the right to care about both the big and the small, so what''s the use of me suing you?"


    If gu mohan had felt a little uncomfortable just now, his face had completely sunk, and his eyes looking at ye zhiqiao had gradually cooled down.


    "Besides, there''s little treasure. I don''t want little treasure to know that her father is such a person."


    "What are you trying to say?" Gu mohan could not stand her gentle and calm tone, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with him.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said softly, "We had been together for a long time before. Whether it''s between you and me, or between me and little treasure, there are more or less feelings... Today''s events, just think of it as me returning these feelings to you."


    Gu mo stood up coldly, walked to ye zhiqiao in two steps and asked, "What do you mean by that?"


    "I said I was leaving!" Ye zhiqiao said quickly, "I will leave the gu family, leave little treasure, leave you..."


    She looked at him with hatred, "I have nothing to do with you from now on."


    Slowly spit out this sentence, ye zhiqiao took a step back, turned around and left.


    "Ye zhiqiao, stop right there!"


    Gu mohan ran after her and pulled her over the shoulder, "You will never leave me. Have you forgotten? You still need me to help you bring down the ye family. You''re still the president of mengxing group, and you still have mengxing''s shares and the agreement you signed with me. These... You can''t do it or not!"


    "You are despicable!"


    "I am despicable!" Gu mohan pulled her closer and said word by word, "As long as I want, you can''t leave me. Do you believe me?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s shoulder seemed to be crushed. She gritted her teeth to hold back the pain. The pain in her body was nothing compared to the anger in her heart.


    After gasping for air, she tilted her head sharply and bit down hard on the arm that was holding her!


    "Mmm!"


    Gu mohan let go of his strength subconsciously as he suddenly groaned in pain.


    Ye zhiqiao took the opportunity to get rid of his control and ran out of the door without looking back.


    "Ye zhiqiao!!"


    Gu mohan''s roar still echoed behind her. Ye zhiqiao ran out of the gu villa without thinking and ran straight to the road.


    At this time, the noisy crowd on the street had already dispersed, and the shops on both sides of the road had also pulled up the shutters. After the dazzling neon faded, the silence of the whole city was unreal.


    Ye zhiqiao ran out of the house without her cell phone, but she estimated that it was almost 1: 00 in the night.


    She did not wear a coat and rubbed her arms repeatedly in exchange for weak heat, but the tears were on her face and the cold wind blew, making her tense and painful feel even worse.


    She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but it actually got more and more. In the end, she was almost unconsciously crying, and even forgot the reason why she was crying. Just because her heart was sour, her tears followed her instinctive work.


    Ye zhi coincidentally shook her head and felt that it was in a mess and she was in a daze.


    Just like that, she staggered forward without any purpose, not noticing the pair of eyes staring at her from behind.


    The occasional car would pass by her quickly, only the limited-edition branded red sports car, which maintained a distance of more than ten meters and slowly moved behind her.


    "Heh." Dong Yueyue sat in the car and sneered.


    She ran to the outside of gu mohan''s villa at twelve o'' clock this night to "Step on the spot" to find an opportunity to carry out the plan, but she did not expect that just when she could not bear to be sleepy and was about to leave, she saw ye zhiqiao run out of the villa, and seemed a little listless.


    It really took no effort to get it!


    Dong Yueyue hurriedly drove to catch up, and after following for so long, he did not see anyone else appear beside ye zhiqiao.


    "It looks like tonight is your last day." The enemy was right in front of him, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Dong Yueyue''s heart began to beat faster excitedly.


    "Go to hell!" With a loud shout, his right foot slammed the gas pedal to the bottom. The red sports car was like a bolt of lightning, running straight in the direction of ye zhiqiao.


    ...


    "Squeak-!!!"


    A screech of brakes sounded.


    Dong Yueyue looked in the direction of ye zhiqiao in shock, then hurriedly reversed the car, adjusted its position and ran away quickly.

 Chapter 66 To Be Little Treasures Nanny

    Did he see me just now?! "Dong Yueyue clutched the steering wheel with both hands and kept saying," no, no, I turned on the high light, I can''t see it, I can''t see it..."


    Gu mohan stood up first, then extended his hand to the woman who was still lying on the ground.


    Ye zhiqiao did not pay attention. She supported the ground with both hands and exerted force on her waist. Although her legs were still weak, she finally stood up on her own.


    She was really scared when the car drove straight like her.


    The speed of the car was very fast. The driver didn''t know if he saw anyone in front of him. As he was getting closer and closer to ye zhiqiao, the speed did not decrease but increased. Moreover, with the high light on, ye zhiqiao couldn''t open her eyes. In an instant, there was no time to react, let alone avoid it.


    At that time, ye zhiqiao''s head was blank and she stood there stupidly, but gu mohan ran out of nowhere and jumped up and pounced on her.


    Because of the position, ye zhiqiao''s head fell straight to the ground. Before landing, the man holding her suddenly extended a hand and tightly protected her head.


    The two of them fell to the ground together, but the pain was not as severe as ye zhiqiao expected.


    After getting up, the car had long since disappeared.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and stared at her legs, which were still weak. She did not respond for a long time.


    When gu mohan saw that she was not angry, his panic turned into a raging rage.


    "Don''t you know how to walk?!" As long as he was a second late, he might have lost her forever.


    "Ah--"


    Ye zhiqiao''s ears were numb from his angry roar. It took a long time for her to realize that he was talking about how she almost got hit by a car.


    Didn''t you say a few hours ago that you hated a woman like yourself? What are you doing with this attitude now?


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and asked, "I can''t see what the road has to do with you. Isn''t it better for a scheming woman like me to die?"


    "You!"


    She used what gu mohan had just said to refute him, making gu mohan powerless to retaliate.


    "All right, I''m not here to get in the way of big master gu." Ye zhiqiao lifted her leg to leave, and suddenly remembered something. She stopped and said, "I hope you can take good care of little treasure. She is really a good child."


    Her arm was pulled back, and ye zhiqiao frowned and turned around, saying, "The thing you saved me just now is to make up for what you did a few hours ago. We don''t owe each other anything. Do you want me to thank you?"


    "Do you really care about little treasure?" Gu mohan''s voice came from above.


    "I..."


    Ye zhiqiao thought of the first time she met little treasure at the airport. At that time, the little girl was like a glutinous rice ball, sticking to her legs and not letting go. She wanted to buy her something delicious when she saw that little treasure was really cute, but when she picked him up, she realized that looking at the round and rolling baby, she was so thin and pitiful.


    It was only after her later contact that she realized that little treasure had a rare disease and could only live on liquid food and nutrient injections. At that time, she couldn''t help but feel sorry for little treasure. Such a sensible and lovely little fellow, to have to live so hard.


    But it was very strange that little treasure, who had used all kinds of methods to no avail, could actually eat what she had made. With her by his side, little treasure''s strange illness was actually getting better day by day.


    Although there was no way to know the reason, ye zhiqiao was very happy. She was willing to stay with little treasure all the time to bring her health and happiness.


    "Of course I love little treasure." Ye zhiqiao said affirmatively.


    Gu mohan knew the answer for a long time, but his heart was still inevitably filled with joy. He suppressed this feeling and said in a still emotionless tone, "In that case, can you bear to see little treasure return to the old days?"


    "You know that you can''t have a good meal without little treasure. She''s just getting better, so you decided not to care about her and said that you really love her?"


    Ye zhiqiao was not stupid. Of course, she could hear that this was his way of goading her, but she was still worried about little treasure. Gu mohan was right. After he left, little treasure would definitely return to his former state.


    Gu mohan took ye zhiqiao''s troubled look into his eyes and continued, "Even if you are babysitting for little treasure, I hope you can go back, even if I gave you the''mengxing group''."


    Gu mohan himself knew that it was a terrible thing to say, but there were so many things happening tonight that he couldn''t control his emotions. He wanted to save ye zhiqiao while blaming her for hiding something from him and the accident that had just happened...


    He was really upset.


    Ye zhiqiao could not understand gu mohan''s current psychological activities. After he said that, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I can''t refuse you for this reason. As a nanny, right? No problem, I promise you."


    A series of events last night made ye zhiqiao exhausted and barely woke up until 10 am. This was the result of three alarm bells specially made for xiao bao to make lunch.


    She had no plans to go to work today, and had already sent a text message to xiao man in advance. She planned to work overtime at night, so that gu mohan wouldn''t have to face him after work.


    As soon as ye zhiqiao walked out of the bedroom, she saw gu mohan walking downstairs in his home clothes.


    He... He didn''t work at all!!


    Gu mohan heard the sound of the door opening and turned around to see ye zhiqiao standing at the door with her head full of chicken coop-like hair. She looked at herself in astonishment, sneered and went downstairs.


    "Is it so late for nannies to start working now? I remember that aunt Li had never been like this before."


    Bastard!


    Ye zhiqiao clutched the door frame tightly, her bones creaking, and she cursed gu mohan from top to bottom in her heart.


    Then he collapsed and went back to his room to wash up.


    ...


    11: 30.


    Ye zhi happened to look at the clock on the living room wall and let out a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, there was only one last dish to go, and lunch had just arrived at twelve o'' clock.


    "Auntie ye, what did you cook? Do you have any broccoli?" Little treasure sprawled on the back of the sofa with both hands and feet and asked, looking around.


    She loved cauliflower the most. It was white and fat, sweet and tender.


    Ye zhiqiao covered her mouth mysteriously and whispered, "I can''t tell you. Keep it a secret!"


    Little treasure giggled at ye zhiqiao''s funny look and covered his mouth like her.


    "Don''t ask so much. It''s good to eat on time." A cold male voice cut in at the wrong time.


    Gu mohan reached out and took little treasure down, "You can be naughty. What if you fall down?"


    Then he looked at the time and said, "Aren''t you hungry before 11: 30 every day? Why are you so energetic today?"


    Little treasure looked at gu mohan strangely and thought, when did I say I would be hungry? Why did dad say that?

 Chapter 67 Get Along Peacefully

    Sensing the strange atmosphere, little treasure decided not to question his father''s words and quietly shut his mouth.


    Ye zhiqiao wouldn''t just let him pick a fight and retorted, "Little treasure eats at this time every day. I''ve never heard her say that she feels hungry early."


    "It''s your problem to be careless with your work. How dare you say that?" Gu mohan replied casually.


    "You!" Ye zhiqiao quickly walked up to him and asked, "Am I not careful or are you deliberately picking on me? You..."


    Before he could finish, gu mohan sniffed.


    "What are you doing again?" Ye zhiqiao asked angrily.


    Gu mohan looked at the tv without blinking and said softly, "It''s sticky."


    "What paste..." Ye zhiqiao was excited and remembered the dishes in the pot.


    Just now, he was so busy quarreling that he forgot that the egg was being fried in the pot and ran back quickly.


    "Hmph!" Gu mohan sneered again.


    Little treasure looked up at his father''s cold side face in a daze, thinking that his father and aunt ye used to get along very well. What happened today? It''s a completely different way of getting along.


    While eating, ye zhi happened to think of the two eggs that bai "Sacrificed" just now. She rolled her eyes at gu mohan, who was about to sit across from her, and said, "I''m only in charge of taking care of xiao bao, so I made food for xiao bao. Mr. Gu, please respect yourself."


    Gu mohan pulled out his chair and slowly sat down in the glare of ye zhiqiao, "Aren''t you eating too?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the chopsticks in her hand and said, "That''s because I want to take care of little treasure, and little treasure also wants me to accompany her, right, little treasure?"


    Little treasure just put a piece of cauliflower into his mouth and nodded blankly with his mouth half open.


    "Little treasure also wants me to eat with her. If you don''t believe me, ask."


    After aunt ye asked her father, although little treasure felt that this might make aunt ye unhappy, she still nodded slightly.


    Auntie ye has a good temper. She can play coquettish with her later, but if she angers her father, the consequences will be very serious.


    Gu mohan looked at his daughter with satisfaction, then put a piece of cauliflower into her bowl.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the way gu mohan was getting his way. Her lungs were about to explode and she said, "I don''t care anyway! You... You are not allowed to eat my cooking anymore. You can cook it yourself if you want to!"


    "You''ve been occupying the kitchen, how can I get in?"


    Gu mohan''s words made ye zhiqiao speechless.


    This man is simply being unreasonable! Unreasonable!


    Ye zhiqiao gritted her teeth and put down her chopsticks. She took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay... Okay, you eat. I won''t eat anymore!"


    Gu mohan frowned as she ran up the stairs.


    He was unreasonable and dared to lose his temper. It was really unreasonable!


    "Dad." Little treasure pulled gu Mohan''s sleeve and whispered, "Why did you quarrel with aunt ye?"


    Gu mohan looked down at the anxious little treasure, reached out and rubbed her little head, comforting her, "It''s okay, little treasure, don''t be afraid."


    Little treasure didn''t think it was as simple as dad said, so it wouldn''t be okay.


    It had been a few days, and when father and aunt ye met, they were going to quarrel.


    Because of the problem of eating, we don''t talk about it every day. When we watch tv, we have to fight about which channel to watch, and when we get off work, we have to fight about where the car is parked...


    Once, when her father was working in the study, aunt ye said that the sound of his typing was too loud to disturb her sleep. Dad, too, once complained that the water in the bathroom had become smaller, insisting that aunt ye had used too much water.


    Alas!


    Little treasure was very worried about this. Although she was usually smart and clever, she was only a five-year-old child. She could not understand the complicated relationship between adults.


    Ye zhiqiao saw little treasure''s emotions.


    These days, when she and gu mohan were quarreling, little treasure always sat quietly by the side and did not speak. Usually, he did not always act coquettishly towards the two of them as before. Even in the last day or two, he had eaten much less, as if he had lost a lot of weight.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to put pressure on her child, but she couldn''t turn a blind eye to gu Mohan.


    What happened that night would always appear in her dreams, and the panic, helplessness, and pain would always repeat themselves. Every time she relived that feeling of despair, she would feel a heavy reproach when she saw gu mohan.


    She couldn''t hate him, but it was hard to forgive him.


    Ye zhiqiao let out a deep breath and knocked on gu mohan''s study door.


    "I want to bring little treasure to my house to recuperate."


    At first, gu mohan was surprised and surprised to see ye zhiqiao come to him voluntarily. When he heard her make such a request, he changed back to his usual serious face.


    "Are you confused?" Gu mohan looked at the sky outside and asked.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and said feebly, "You should have seen it too. We can''t get along peacefully under the same roof right now. We all feel awkward. Little treasure must feel it too."


    "Children are already very sensitive. Little treasure has been in a very bad state recently. You won''t be able to tell. Instead of making everyone uncomfortable, it''s better to separate quickly. Little treasure... I''ll send her back when she''s well."


    Gu mohan refused without thinking, "Little treasure is my daughter. How can I let her go with you?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao thought that he might not agree, but she could not think of another way.


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao, who had lowered his head again, and sighed helplessly. He slowed down and said, "I... I have a suggestion."


    "What?" Ye zhiqiao asked.


    "Let''s settle." Gu mohan rubbed his nose with his fingers and said, "Little treasure is worried because we are not on good terms. So, let''s just put everything down and not mention it. You take care of little treasure and I will help you destroy the ye family."


    "Peace deal?"


    Gu mohan nodded, "Yes."


    He wanted to say this idea for a long time, but the man''s face made him unable to open his mouth. Just as ye zhiqiao mentioned it today, he said it out of the water.


    Ye zhiqiao thought for a while and thought that his proposal was really good. It not only solved the current dilemma, but also was good for the future of both of them.


    Without hesitation, she agreed directly.

 Chapter 68 Cant You Provoke Me or Hide?

    Jian mengqi sat on the sofa and peeled an orange. She ate a slice of it and fed it to little treasure. Then she asked, "It''s not many days since the competition. How are you preparing?"


    Ye zhiqiao thought for a while and said, "That''s it. I rarely go to the company these days, and I have been working at home. There are a few works that can be seen, but I can''t choose them for a while. I always feel that there are still some shortcomings."


    "Yeah." Jian mengqi promised and returned with an apple for little treasure.


    Ever since the war at home subsided and became peaceful, little treasure''s appetite rose to its best.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at little treasure nibbling at the apple and said to jian mengqi, "I still think it''s not good to compete just like this. Why don''t you help me modify it?"


    "Me?" Jian mengqi pointed at herself and said, "If you, an international designer, can trust me, I have no problem."


    Ye zhiqiao happily brought her design drawings over and said, "I still trust your professional level very much. Here... This is the one. I always find it strange, but I can''t see it."


    Jian mengqi readily accepted the design and patted her chest boldly, "Don''t worry, look at my sister using my golden eyes to change it for you!"


    Ye zhiqiao cupped her fists, "Thank you!"


    From having lunch to now, jian mengqi watched as it was almost time for little treasure to take a nap and was ready to leave.


    Ye zhiqiao was not polite to her, so she sent her to the door and came back to take little treasure to take a nap.


    Just as he brought little treasure to the bedroom and was about to tell a story, aunt Li suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying that jian mengqi was waiting for her in the living room.


    Eh? Didn''t he just leave? Why are you back so soon?


    "Did you forget to bring something?" Ye zhiqiao stood up and walked out. Halfway through the walk, she remembered that little treasure was still waiting for her to tell a story. She turned around and said, "Little treasure, be good. Auntie will be back soon. Can you close your eyes first?"


    Little treasure blinked his big black eyes, then closed them gently. He did not forget to tell ye zhiqiao, "Auntie ye, you have to come back soon, or I should fall asleep."


    Ye zhiqiao went downstairs and saw jian mengqi standing in the middle of the living room with a frown. "Have you forgotten something?" Why don''t you sit and wait?"


    Jian mengqi did not answer her, but directly pulled her to the sofa and sat down. She wanted to say something but did not say anything.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her anxious expression and asked, "What''s wrong? If you have something to say, why are you hesitating with me?"


    "I''m not sure if I misunderstood... Aye!" Jian mengqi was an outspoken person, and she couldn''t wait for the ink to stain for so long. She simply said, "I just left your house and got in the car directly. When I turned the corner, I remembered that I wanted to go to Qin Baiye''s house and started to reverse the car. But when I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw Dong Yueyue standing in the corner and looking out."


    "I''m not sure if she''s just looking at your house, but... I just find it strange. Didn''t she always have a big opinion of you? I''m afraid she wants to take revenge on you in secret. I''ve been thinking about it for a while, but I still have to tell you that it''s good to keep you on guard."


    Ye zhi happened to send away jian mengqi and sat in the living room thinking for a while. The more she thought about it, the more strange it became.


    She could not help but think of the car that had rushed towards her that night a few days ago. If gu mohan hadn''t come to save her, she would have been dead or injured.


    After that night, ye zhiqiao also suspected the driver''s motives.


    Because it was late at night and there were very few cars on the road, she kept walking to the side. If the driver hadn''t lost control of the car due to some accident, he wouldn''t have driven to that position at all, let alone at that speed.


    But then, she and gu mohan fell to the ground. In less than a minute, the car quickly reversed and left.


    Now that I think about it, if it wasn''t an accident, but someone did it on purpose, everything would make sense.


    Could it really be... Dong Yueyue?


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more afraid she was. Imagine a person who hated you to the bone, who would secretly observe you every day, waiting for you to relax and jump over to kill you!!


    And... Ye zhiqiao looked up at the stairs.


    Little treasure was by his side every day. What if Dong Yueyue really went crazy and didn''t want to hurt little treasure?


    No way!


    Ye zhiqiao stood up abruptly.


    This matter still had to be discussed with gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was originally working at the company and was surprised to see ye zhiqiao suddenly arrive. But after listening to ye zhiqiao finish her speculation, her face became more and more gloomy.


    He reassured ye zhiqiao that he would take care of it. After ye zhiqiao left, he immediately called qin ning and asked him to investigate Dong Yueyue''s whereabouts during this period.


    Dong Yueyue had a lot of flaws, and qin ning quickly brought Dong Yueyue''s trajectory over the past half month.


    Gu mohan looked at her movements and his eyes became darker and darker.


    Sure enough, she had been following ye zhiqiao around for the last week, except for that car accident... The surveillance of that section of the road was undergoing routine maintenance at that time, and no useful clues were recorded.


    The rest of the time, she quietly followed ye zhiqiao around, without any suspicious actions, even if the police could not accept the call.


    Gu mohan put down the report and said to qin ning, "Let''s send someone to keep an eye on her. We can''t do anything about her until she does something, but... If she does something, we might not be able to recover it."


    Qin ning understood what gu mohan meant, agreed, and retreated.


    After ye zhiqiao learned from gu mohan that it was indeed Dong Yueyue who wanted to harm her, she had to listen to gu mohan''s words and stay at home every day, trying not to go out.


    Can''t provoke or hide?


    Ye zhiqiao comforted herself. It was good. Anyway, there were only a few days left before the competition.


    Ye yiyu was not as relaxed as ye zhiqiao about the competition. Every day, she buried herself in all kinds of design books and complained.


    She didn''t like to study since she was a child. She could enter the ye family only because her father was the president of the ye family and the name of a designer. Besides spending money to buy it by plagiarism, how could there be any real talent to learn?


    Now that it was time to participate in the competition, I deeply regret it. If only I could study as hard as ye zhiqiao!


    But she was not that material at all. It was just today. She had been reading since breakfast and had been sleeping for three hours.

 Chapter 69 The Irrational Dong Yueyue

    The phone under his arm suddenly vibrated, disturbing ye yiyu''s deep sleep.


    "Hello!" Ye yiyu was so sleepy that he couldn''t open his eyes and didn''t look at the caller id.


    "Why is miss ye so angry?"


    Hearing Dong Yueyue''s voice, ye yiyu immediately woke up, and then heard the other side continue to say, "Is it because the competition is about to start, or is it because nothing can be designed, the urgent hormonal imbalance?"


    Ye yi cursed and said, "You don''t have to be so sarcastic. No matter what my result is, it has nothing to do with you."


    "That''s true. I can''t do anything but laugh at you."


    "You!" Ye yi wanted to hang up.


    Dong Yueyue saw that she was almost agitated, and finally spoke of the purpose of his phone call: "How about you help me?"


    Ye yiyu thought that she was still talking about the last time, and stammered that she hadn''t thought it through.


    Dong Yueyue said, "It''s not about that."


    "Ah? What''s that?"


    "I want you to help me draw ye zhiqiao out."


    Ye yiyu frowned and did not understand, "What does it mean to draw it out?"


    Dong Yueyue looked at the tightly closed door of the villa opposite him and said, "I''ve been looking for an opportunity to deal with ye zhiqiao for the past few days, but she doesn''t know if she found anything and actually doesn''t go out, so I want to ask you for help."


    "I..." Ye yiyu hesitated.


    Dong Yueyue couldn''t find a chance these days. Seeing that ye yiyu didn''t agree, he quickly said, "No matter what, you are her sister. It''s easy to get her out. And this is much easier than dealing with traces. Even if something happens, the police won''t suspect you. It''s normal for a sister to ask her out. Besides..."


    "What?" Ye yiyu breathed softly and asked.


    "Do you really want her to beat you down in the competition? It doesn''t matter if I laugh or not, but the whole country will see your joke. Rather than wait until then for your reputation to fall apart, you might as well make up a small reason and make a small phone call, and everything will be settled."


    Dong Yueyue''s words were like a spell, hovering in ye yi''s ears.


    Yes, it''s simple. There''s no danger.


    In the future, she will still be the new designer with boundless scenery, or the existence of being praised by the stars, and ye zhiqiao, whether she is alive or dead, what does it matter?


    "Okay, I promise you."


    Seeing that ye yiyu finally let go, Dong Yueyue slowly raised the corner of his mouth, "That''s right. It''s not too late. Ye zhiqiao happened to be at home at 2: 00 this afternoon. You should find a way to ask her out at this time."


    Dong Yueyue put down his cell phone, and a grim, joyful light appeared in his eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao, the last time you escaped, this time, you won''t have that kind of luck again!


    Ye zhiqiao took a brush and changed her design drawings. Aunt Li took little treasure to the hospital for a regular checkup. She was the only one at home. She was very quiet and suitable for studying works.


    She was absorbed in her work, so when she saw the phone call from ye yiyu, she was slightly stunned.


    Ye yi language? Why did she call?


    Although she didn''t know if ye yiyu was going to do something bad to her, ye zhiqiao picked up the phone.


    "Sister, sister, come quickly... Dad... Dad he..." On the other end of the phone, ye yiyu''s voice was intermittent, obviously crying out of breath.


    Ye zhiqiao''s expression tightened and asked, "Take your time. What''s wrong with dad?"


    "Dad... He... He just fainted... But... The doctor said... He seems... He doesn''t seem to be able to do it!"


    Ye zhiqiao slowly put down the brush in her hand and remembered that ye guojun was in good spirits the last time she met him. Her voice was full of confidence. How could she suddenly...


    "The doctor didn''t say why dad suddenly did this?" Ye zhiqiao asked calmly.


    "I don''t know, I... I... I know you''ve always blamed dad for spoiling me and being angry with him, but... But now he''s like this. He''s your real father..."


    "All right, all right. Calm down and send me the location. I''ll be there now."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the "Central hospital" displayed on her cell phone and was worried, but she couldn''t stop doubting it.


    If ye guojun really became so ill, as his daughter, even if she hated him, she could not argue with him. She should go and see him for the last time.


    But... It was a coincidence that he was in critical condition, just when he wanted to stay at home and hide from Dong Yueyue.


    What''s the relationship between the two?


    Ye zhi changed her clothes and ran out of the house with her cell phone.


    No matter what, you should go over and take a look. At worst, you should pay more attention on the road.


    Ye zhiqiao''s car was driven by the driver to take xiao bao, so now she could only walk to the commercial street ahead and take a taxi.


    I didn''t expect that just after turning a corner, a red sports car rushed straight at me!!!!


    Different from that night, ye zhiqiao was prepared and dodged.


    Dong Yueyue''s car crashed into the air, but the speed did not slow down for a moment, and he rushed straight to the roadside green field.


    The business street was not far ahead, and ye zhiqiao took the opportunity to run there quickly, thinking that as long as she reached a crowded place, Dong Yueyue would not dare to follow her.


    But the repeated failures had already made Dong Yueyue''s eyes red with anxiety. Dong Yueyue had already put all his thoughts behind him when he saw the enemy he wanted to tear up right in front of him.


    She skillfully reversed the car, turned the corner, and then sped up again in front of the crowd and crashed straight into it!!


    For a moment, screams were heard in the bustling commercial street, and people were scared to avoid a red car, which ran like crazy.


    Dong Yueyue reversed, turned, and sped up again and again!


    Reverse, turn, and accelerate!!


    If she had a mirror in front of her now, she would have been frightened by her own appearance.


    Because of the constant staying up late, her eyes were already black and blue, and her face was sweating profusely, along with the greasy traces of makeup on her face, her lips were tightly bitten, and even a part of it had oozed red blood, but she didn''t seem to feel it at all, just mechanically repeating the movements above.


    ...


    Until - a police car bumped into the passenger side of her sports car and forced her to stop.


    The crowd of onlookers circled and circled, and Dong Yueyue was driven into a police car by two policemen, ready to be brought back to the police station for detention and interrogation.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up her phone to take a picture of this scene and sent it to ye yiyu.

 Chapter 70 I Can Forgive Your Betrayal

    Ye yiyu looked at the mms on her phone and her whole body couldn''t stop trembling.


    It''s over, Dong Yueyue, this idiot, has failed!


    Ye zhiqiao was safe and sound and sent this photo to show off!


    Ye yiyu walked back and forth in the room, unable to hide the panic in her heart.


    There was no way to stop ye zhiqiao from entering the competition, so it would be sooner or later that her reputation would be ruined.


    No way!


    Ye yiyu would never allow such a thing to happen!


    Seeing bai zixuan who just walked into the room, ye yiyu seemed to have caught the straw.


    "Zixuan!" Ye yiyu ran up to bai zixuan and dived into his arms.


    Bai zixuan was stunned for a long time by her sudden enthusiasm, because she had been staring at him for a long time since the last time she failed to protect her in front of gu mohan.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    Ye yiyu squeezed out a few tears, looking like a pear blossom with rain, and said, "Brother zixuan, I... I am afraid. The designer competition is about to start, but I can''t do anything. That ye zhiqiao knew that I wasn''t as good as her, but she still forced me to compete. I..."


    Bai zixuan''s heart softened when he saw her pitiful look. He hugged her and sat beside the bed, comforting her, "It''s okay. You''re not much worse than her. Besides, what can you do if you lose? Don''t you still have me by your side?"


    If I were nothing, would you still be willing to stay by my side?


    Ye yiyu said in her heart.


    But her face was still coquettish, "No, I don''t want to lose to her. Look, she used to like you so much. Can you help me persuade her not to compete?"


    "This..." Bai zixuan hesitated, "She''s different now. She can still..."


    "Ouch!" Ye yiyu twisted around in his arms, rubbed his arm with his chest, and said softly, "Just try, help me!"


    Where could bai zixuan stand her deliberate temptation, he immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, I''ll help you, help you..."


    The rest fell into a lingering kiss.


    The next day, bai zixuan called ye zhiqiao. The other party hesitated and asked him to come to the gu family villa to talk.


    Ye zhiqiao prepared tea for him and sat on the sofa opposite him, asking him what he was doing.


    Bai zixuan picked up his glass and took a sip of water, then smiled and said, "Well... I want to discuss something with you about... The international designer competition."


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised, "This competition... You?"


    Bai zixuan quickly waved his hand and explained, "It has nothing to do with me. I just came to ask you for a favor. For the sake of our friendship, can you... Let ye yiyu do it once?"


    "Let her?"


    Ye zhiqiao finally understood bai zixuan''s purpose. She felt ridiculous and angry, and her face sank.


    Bai zixuan took her attitude into consideration and kindly advised her, "It''s not that I insist that you don''t participate in the competition. Even if I let her do it just a little bit during the competition, you know her temperament. You can''t afford to lose. You..."


    "All right!" Ye zhiqiao was too lazy to listen and interrupted.


    Such an important competition, as well as the true and false competition between her and ye yiyu, had been carried away in his mouth with a few light words. Could it be that a child had gone through a family?


    "I can''t agree to your request."


    Seeing her tough attitude, bai zixuan had no choice but to show his trump card.


    He lowered his head and spoke softly, "After all, I am in this relationship with ye yiyu now. I will help her both emotionally and logically. Well, as long as you agree to my request this time, I will be willing to forgive your betrayal five years ago, and let bygones be bygones, okay?"


    "What did you say?!" Ye zhiqiao felt that she had heard a big joke.


    What happened five years ago was an accident. Even she herself was a victim. When she was so happy that she thought she was pregnant with the child of this man in front of her, he told herself that it was not the case at all. The child was a wild seed and wanted to abort the child herself, and he was actually with his sister.


    Now, he actually took this matter as a condition to fight for ye yiyu!


    Ye zhiqiao''s face turned red and her breathing became heavy, "I''ll tell you one last time. Five years ago, it was just an accident. I, ye zhiqiao, have never betrayed you, bai zixuan. I... Have never done anything wrong to you!"


    Ye zhi ran to the gate in two steps, opened the door, and shouted at bai zixuan, "You go out now! You are not welcome here!"


    After bai zixuan left, ye zhiqiao ran back to her room and sat on the floor with her knees against the bed, staring out the window in a daze.


    It was dusk, and the sky was burning red in the distance. The sun reached the edge of the sky. The last ray of light was still clinging to the earth, unwilling to leave for a long time. Everything stood still, as if it were a memorial to the dying sun.


    A tear rolled down and landed on the ground with a click.


    The world was switched on and time finally flowed again.


    Ye zhiqiao closed her eyes and let her tears flow. When she opened them again, all the scenery had lost its golden radiance and was covered with dark gray and cold light.


    The sun had set.


    The darkness shrouded ye zhiqiao''s fragile figure. Just as she thought she might be sitting alone all night, the door was gently pulled open.


    A small round head came in, and after looking around, he saw the figure on the other side of the big bed.


    "Aunt ye." Her soft voice came.


    Ye zhiqiao wiped her tears quickly, turned around and greeted her with a smile, "What''s wrong, little treasure?"


    Little treasure stood motionless by the door and asked, "Aunt ye, can little treasure come in?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want little treasure to see her now, but then she thought that she had heard all the quarrels with bai zixuan in the afternoon. She couldn''t hide it from him, so she promised, "Yes, come over."


    She opened her arms to little treasure, who quickly ran up to her with his short legs and fell into her arms.


    Ye zhiqiao hugged little treasure and suddenly felt extremely warm.


    Little treasure looked out of her arms and whispered, "Aunt ye, why are you sitting on the floor? It''s cold on the floor. Why don''t you sit on the bed?"

 Chapter 71 The Auntie Who Cleaned My House Was Better Dressed than This

    Ye zhiqiao leaned against the bed with little treasure in her arms. Because of the arrival of the little dumpling in his arms, his originally cold state of mind had a trace of warmth.


    Little treasure caught a wisp of ye zhiqiao''s dark green hair and played with it. He asked softly, "Aunt ye, can I tell you a joke?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally touched her furry little head and said, "Okay."


    Little treasure laughed and began to speak in a continuous voice.


    On the grassland of australia, there are two cows eating grass. One of them said to the other,''mad cow disease has been prevalent recently. Do you think we will get it? The other side replied,'' what are you afraid of? Aren''t we kangaroos?"


    "Hahaha..." After saying this, little treasure was so happy that he couldn''t catch his breath. After a long time, he remembered to look up at ye zhiqiao''s reaction.


    "... Auntie ye, am I wrong? You... Don''t cry" ... Little treasure reached out to reach for the tears on ye zhiqiao''s face, but ye zhiqiao grabbed them.


    Ye zhiqiao had mixed feelings in her heart. After a long time, she calmed down and said, "Little treasure spoke very well. Aunt ye thought that little treasure was really good to aunt ye, so she cried."


    "I don''t believe it." Little treasure turned his face and said, "Did auntie ye cry because she felt sorry for the joke?"


    "Pitiful?"


    "Yeah." Little treasure wrinkled his nose, "When I first heard it, I also felt unhappy. I felt sorry for the sick cow."


    This... Children really think differently from adults. Their world is really simple and kind.


    Ye zhiqiao held little treasure up to prevent her from falling to the ground, and then said, "If you think of it this way, it is indeed a little pitiful. Mad cow disease is very scary."


    Little treasure looked at ye zhiqiao with an expression of "I knew it would be like this." Then he said in a grown-up tone, "But later grandma li told me that animals and people are the same. They get sick and get old. If we are sad about those things, it will hurt our hearts forever."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded in agreement. Aunt Li was nearly fifty years old, and he was very open-minded about many things. He was indeed an open-minded person.


    Little treasure was very satisfied with ye zhiqiao''s "Educated" look, and then said, "And the cow has many cows around it, it will not be lonely."


    Little treasure looked up and said to ye zhiqiao with bright eyes, "Just like little treasure is sick, daddy and aunt ye have always been by little treasure''s side, so... If aunt ye is unhappy, little treasure will be with you."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at little treasure''s expectant eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then she understood and reached out to hold little treasure in her arms.


    So little treasure came here and said so much to comfort her and make her not sad.


    Ye zhiqiao thought, perhaps because of illness, although little treasure did not go to kindergarten to receive education, he was really much more mature than ordinary children.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and kissed little treasure''s head, "Aunt ye understands."


    The international designer competition officially began.


    It was hosted by the top international design companies, with seven renowned design experts at home and abroad as judges. Only a few famous media outlets were allowed to interview, and tickets to the competition were even more difficult to obtain.


    The competition was divided into two rounds. The designers who had to participate in the last round each brought a piece of work to the venue, and the judges voted to mark it. This time, the results will be kept as 30 % of the final results.


    The next round will be three days later. Each contestant will design on the spot within the stipulated time. After the judges mark, the result will be 70 % of the final result.


    After that, the judges were free to comment, and the staff immediately scored and announced the results on the spot.


    This competition was held in china for the first time since the start of the competition, so all the designers in china saw this rare opportunity and were ready to show off their skills.


    If you can win the first place in this competition, you will be famous internationally and your future development will be limitless.


    "Today is the day that the audience has been waiting for the final of the'' international designer competition''. In the preliminary competition three days ago, the works of ye zhiqiao, the sister of the ye family, which everyone paid close attention to, were stunning and received unanimous approval from the judges, but the works of ye yiyu, the younger sister, were not well received."


    "The two sisters made a lot of noise about plagiarism and gained the attention of the onlookers. In today''s battle, we can finally see who is right and who is wrong!"


    The cameras followed the reporters into the inner court. The judges were seated and all the contestants were seated.


    "The theme of today''s finals is''retro women''s wear - chinese qipao''. The competition will take 150 minutes. Please prepare yourselves."


    After the host introduced the rules of the competition in chinese and english, a bell rang, and there was no sound in the arena. The competition officially began.


    One hundred and fifty minutes, isn''t it two and a half hours?! Ye yiyu looked at the large area of drawing paper in front of her and her hands and feet trembled with anxiety.


    During the preliminaries, she had to find someone to change and modify the semi-finished product that ye zhiqiao had stolen from her before, so that she could barely get an evaluation of the crane''s tail. Now... It was completely on the spot, and in such a short time, how could it be possible?


    Ye yiyu subconsciously turned to look at ye zhiqiao on the other side of the field. The other side was calmly adjusting the paint and sketching the design on the paper.


    The rest of the crowd was also focused on their own design, and no one looked around like her.


    Hey! Ye yiyu gritted his teeth and thought, "Forget it!" Anyway, it''s already here. Let''s just draw!


    A hundred and fifty minutes passed quickly, and as the bell rang again, all the contestants put down their brushes and turned to stand beside their work, facing the judges.


    The cameras scanned the works one by one, and the judges were seriously appreciating them.


    Ye yiyu''s palms were already wet with sweat, but she clenched her fists tightly because of nervousness.


    Then, she heard ye zhiqiao''s name.


    "Yes, this work of ye is very novel in style and structure, and she is very smart. She integrated chinese classical ink and wash painting into it, which not only fits the theme, but also makes good use of the blank space, saving a lot of time!"


    The judges praised ye zhiqiao''s work. One of them, a chinese judge, even said that he would discuss with ye zhiqiao to apply the work to the series of clothes he was going to plan next.


    When the camera turned, ye yiyu''s work was put on the big screen.


    The judges''smiles, which had just been full of spring breeze, immediately turned into bitter faces with furrowed brows, and the audience in the audience was also full of sighs.


    The mixed-race contestant next to ye yiyu chuckled and said, "At this level, you dare to participate in the competition. Let''s go back to primary school and talk about it. The auntie who cleaned my house is better dressed than this."

 Chapter 72 Ye Yiyu Lost the Lawsuit

    The result of the competition was obvious.


    Just as ye yiyu was preparing to sneak home with her head down, she suddenly heard ye zhiqiao''s voice for an interview and stopped unconsciously.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was playing the surveillance video of ye yiyu stealing the design draft in front of many media, and then she took out several designs copied by ye yiyu, even the works used in ye yiyu''s preliminaries.


    "Today''s competition has clearly confirmed what I said before. The real person who stole and copied the design is ye yiyu, and now she can no longer deny it."


    The reporters'' comments immediately formed a one-sided situation. No one knew who first saw ye yiyu standing outside the crowd. After shouting, the rest of the people rushed up and surrounded her.


    "Miss ye yiyu, previously you said that miss ye zhiqiao copied your design, but what do you want to explain the result of today''s competition?"


    "Did you copy the work you took out during the preliminary competition? Please answer!"


    "Have you been deceiving the public? Did you start copying when you held the exhibition of your personal products, or have you always relied on copying others?"


    "Are you not afraid of being condemned by society for deceiving the media and the public?!"


    The reporters kept ye yiyu speechless.


    After that, all the major media websites appeared to track the story, the content was to denounce ye yiyu this kind of false reputation, fake social scum, and the comment area below was even more cursed.


    Ye yiyu looked down one by one. When she saw someone throw her picture into the trash can in the video, she couldn''t help but drop the mouse in her hand.


    Ye zhiqiao, you are ruthless!!


    Since my reputation has been ruined, then let''s continue to fight. I am covered in filth, and you can''t be alone!


    When jian mengqi showed ye zhiqiao what ye yiyu said on the internet, ye zhiqiao glanced at her and chuckled, "I knew she would do this."


    "Yes!" Jian mengqi sat down on the chair and scolded, "She''s just jumping over a wall. She bites people when she sees the truth!"


    Ye zhiqiao raised her foot and said calmly, "Don''t worry. I''ve already thought about it. No matter what she does, she will be sent to court."


    "Are you going to sue her?" Asked jian mengqi.


    "Yes, I won''t be soft-hearted this time."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "I have consulted the relevant personnel before. Just yesterday, I formally sued ye yiyu."


    Ye yiyu received a summons from the court the next day, and ye zhiqiao formally sued her for copyright infringement.


    She was very scared. Although she had been doing a lot of illegal things with her identity, they were all small brawls. She had never expected such a serious result. She panicked and quickly found ye guojun to discuss the countermeasures.


    "Dad, what should we do? This time, ye zhiqiao is really going to attack me! She actually sued me!"


    Ye yiyu''s crying snot burst into tears and wiped her eyes, "Dad, you can''t... You can''t leave me alone. I''m really scared. I... I didn''t expect such serious consequences!"


    Ye guojun felt sorry for his daughter, but there was nothing he could do, "But this summons has been sent. What else can we do? Don''t worry, dad will definitely find you a good lawyer."


    "No!" Ye yiyu choked, but his attitude was firm: "I can''t go to court, then I will be finished in the future!"


    "Then..." Ye guojun also didn''t want his daughter''s life to be tainted with such a stain. After thinking for a long time, he said, "How about... I go to find ye zhi qiao to beg for mercy?"


    Ye yiyu suddenly stopped crying, and after a long time, he began to nod repeatedly.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at ye guojun sitting opposite her calmly and took a sip of coffee.


    Ye guojun asked for help now. Seeing ye zhiqiao''s attitude, he did not dare to scold her like before. He smiled and said, "Zhiqiao, you should hold your hand high and let your sister go. She already knew she was wrong and said that as long as you agreed to settle out of court, she would come to the door and apologize and make amends for her previous actions."


    Ye zhi happened to raise her eyebrows, but still did not speak.


    "Look, aren''t those the paintings? You''ve lost those things and you''ve grown to this position, and maybe that''s what motivates your progress."


    Ye zhiqiao almost laughed to death, "So, I have to thank her."


    "This..." Ye guojun choked on her and paused for a moment before saying, "That''s not what I meant either. Forgive and forget. At the very least, let her pay you back all the money that you sold your designs. That''s not a small amount."


    Ye zhiqiao put down the cup and looked at him leisurely, saying, "Indeed, there is a lot of money."


    When ye guojun saw that there was a show, he quickly agreed, "That''s right, it''s not necessarily less than what you earn abroad."


    "That''s true. The ye family''s ability to make money is not to be underestimated."


    Ye guojun''s face darkened.


    Ye zhiqiao continued, "But dad probably doesn''t know me well enough. I''m not the kind of person who sees money well."


    "What do you want?"


    Ye zhiqiao pretended to think for a moment and said "In a dilemma,"" dad came to beg me personally today. If I don''t give you this face, it''s really not reasonable... Well, I don''t want money, as long as dad has 10 % of the company''s shares, and then let your precious daughter go, okay?


    Ye guojun was so shocked that he couldn''t speak, "You... You... You want ye''s shares?!"


    "That''s right. You don''t have to go to court for ten percent of your daughter''s shares. Isn''t this a good deal?"


    "In your dreams!" Ye guojun slapped the table and got up, spilling a lot of coffee on the table.


    "You are really ambitious. It is not enough to persecute your own sister, yet you dare to covet the ye family!"


    Ye zhiqiao also stood up and said loudly, "If you don''t want to, then wait to send your daughter to jail!"


    "I''ll hire the best lawyer for her. I don''t know who''s going to kill her yet!"


    Ye guojun put down this sentence, turned and walked out of the door with quick steps.


    "The best lawyer."


    Ye zhiqiao chewed these words several times and thought of the lawyer gu mohan had found for her.


    Su pan.


    Su pan was the third young master of the su family business, but he was not interested in doing business. He had been specializing in law since college. He was steady, steady and knowledgeable. In recent years, he had established a reputation in the law world.


    The last time we met, ye zhiqiao already knew a little about this lawyer su, just like the legend.


    It seems that I really don''t know who killed the deer.


    In a blink of an eye, it was court time.


    On this day, gu mohan purposely pushed aside all business matters and specially accompanied ye zhi coincidentally. Jian mengqi was present as a witness, while Qin Baiye accompanied her.


    As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the court, they saw su pan and her assistant alight from the car. After greeting each other, a group of people marched towards the door.


    Not far away, ye yiyu slowly walked over, accompanied by ye guojun and zhuang jiamin.


    Bai zixuan had something to do today. He had already agreed not to come.


    Ye yiyu looked at the confident ye zhiqiao in the crowd ahead and bit her lips with hatred. Zhuang jiamin also noticed. She took her hand, patted it and comforted her, "I''m not afraid. Your father has already found a lawyer for you. You''ll be fine."


    Zhuang jiamin''s consolation did not have any effect. Ye yiyu knew very well that the evidence of this matter was complete and clear, and she could hardly deny it.


    As it turned out, she was right.


    In court, ye yiyu''s middle-aged lawyer was so eloquent that he used the blind spots in the laws and regulations to get away with it.


    "Ms. Ye yiyu had already applied for copyright for her work a month ago and it was done. This is legally recognized. Now my client should be protected by the law."


    However, su pan was prepared, faced with the other lawyer''s questioning and unreasonable, and did not panic at all, "Long before ms ye yiyu applied for copyright, my client had already obtained evidence of her stealing and plagiarizing. It was precisely after ms ye yiyu knew that my client had evidence that she urgently applied for copyright for her work."


    Su pan turned her head to face the judge and said, "This indirectly shows that miss ye yiyu was guilty at that time!"


    Moreover, in an international competition a few days ago, our client and Ms. Ye yiyu''s design level had already reached a high level. I remember a judge once said that Ms. Ye yiyu''s design was not even as good as beginners''. So, where did the famous works of lady ye yiyu come from?!"


    Su pan''s thoughts were clear and his purpose was clear. He beat the opposing lawyer back and forth without any strength to fight back.


    Finally, the court examined the lawsuit brought by ye zhiqiao and sentenced her to three months in the name of ye yiyu''s infringement of copyright and a fine.

 Chapter 73 Sister Su Pan, Su Yanbai

    In many media cameras, ye yiyu was taken away by the judicial police.


    As the judge''s gavel fell and the "Closed court" was heard, zhuang jiamin yelled and stood up, pointing at ye zhiqiao and scolding her.


    All the haughty gestures of a rich lady were cast aside. In her eyes, which were almost on fire, only this slut who had ruined her daughter''s reputation and suffered a lot.


    "Do you have a conscience? You died early, mom. Who gave you food to live to this day? What have I done to you, zhuang jiamin? Are you going to hurt me and my poor daughter like this?!"


    When ye zhi happened to hear her talk about her mother, her mouth was still unclean, and her heart ached. She got up and wanted to leave the scene.


    Not wanting to, ye guojun stepped in front of her.


    "What, do you think auntie zhuang said you were ungrateful? Didn''t you do all these things yourself? Have you ever heard of me trying so hard to persuade you? If you could just listen, you wouldn''t end up being scolded like this!"


    "Am I being scolded?" Ye zhiqiao simply didn''t know how to talk to this unreasonable person in front of her.


    "What did I do wrong? Why should I be scolded? What''s wrong is her ye yiyu! If you could have scolded her like you did me, she wouldn''t have come to this!"


    "And, just now... Didn''t you feel a little uncomfortable listening to other women talk about my mother like that? After all, she lived with you for so many years and gave you a child!"


    As ye zhiqiao spoke, she couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    At this time, zhuang jiamin had already come over. Seeing her like this, she sneered and said, "You''ve done all the bad things. Are you starting to act bitter now? Let me tell you, your mother died because she was lucky and had a poor life. No one else could blame her! I think even if she was still alive, she would still have to die of anger from this traitorous son of yours!"


    "You..."


    "Shut up." A low male voice interrupted ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan stood up from his seat and was walking towards him.


    He heard a few people arguing at first, but he didn''t move.


    Although the relationship between him and ye zhiqiao was no longer as tense as before, it was still neither hot nor cold. Even today, he followed in the name of thanking su pan.


    However, when he heard zhuang jiamin point at ye zhiqiao''s mother and poke at her pain, he thought of the day in the cemetery when ye zhiqiao was facing her mother''s tombstone, and finally couldn''t hide his heartache.


    He was blaming ye zhiqiao for hiding something from him, but that didn''t mean he could just sit back and watch her suffer.


    Gu mohan walked to ye zhiqiao''s side and reached out to protect her. He said to zhuang jiamin, "Mrs. Zhuang loves her daughter. It''s understandable that she can''t accept losing control of her emotions for a while, but she should leave some respect for the deceased."


    Then he turned to ye guojun, nodded and said, "I''m afraid your wife is too sad. Uncle ye is a person who does great things. He probably won''t be as emotional as a woman. You should take her back to rest and cultivate."


    Ye guojun had just scolded ye zhiqiao, and he felt that it was almost done. In addition, gu mohan had already opened his mouth to speak, so he would sell his face no matter what.


    After all, the matter of ye yiyu is already settled, and we can''t offend gu mohan for her anymore.


    After thinking it through, ye guojun agreed and pulled zhuang jiamin out.


    Zhuang jiamin was not as strong as him. Although she didn''t want to let ye zhiqiao off like this, she was still pulled away by ye guojun.


    "You wait, ye zhiqiao, you won''t have a good result! You..."


    Until the door was closed again, zhuang jiamin''s screams and curses were still audible.


    Ye zhiqiao calmed down for so long that her mood gradually calmed down and thanked gu mohan who was standing beside her, "Thank you for what happened just now."


    Gu mohan nodded.


    "And... Thank you for coming today."


    "Yeah."


    "Thank you for helping me find such a good lawyer. Thank you for this too."


    Gu mohan looked at her with amusement and asked, "What else can I thank you for? Once you finish, I won''t have to react endlessly."


    Ye zhiqiao was embarrassed by his words and felt that she was a little nagging, so she blushed and said, "No, not this time."


    "No more?" Gu mohan asked.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was in a daze, she teased her, "And there''s one more important thing you forgot?"


    "What?"


    Gu mohan raised his chin and pointed at su pan, who was sorting out the documents with his assistant, "He! You shouldn''t thank someone for helping you win the case. I saw just now that the opposing party''s lawyer is very difficult to deal with. He has put in a lot of effort."


    After gu Mohan reminded her, ye zhiqiao immediately reacted and said, "I should, I must thank him well, or... How about I treat him to a meal?"


    "Yes, but you only invited him?"


    "Hmm?" Ye zhiqiao looked up at gu Mohan doubtfully, then understood and said, "Of course not. And you, you can go with me."


    After getting the answer he wanted, gu mohan walked out with his legs raised and said, "I don''t know if I have time. We''ll talk about it later."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at his brisk pace and her mood lightened up.


    Somehow, the iceberg between them began to melt and disintegrate under the sunlight.


    When she heard that su pan had returned from studying abroad, ye zhiqiao thought that he would be more accustomed to western food, so she chose a high-class western restaurant with a good reputation.


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan arrived at the restaurant half an hour earlier as the hosts. After choosing their seats, they sat down and waited patiently.


    Although gu mohan was still putting on a posture before, he was reluctant to decline back and forth, but today, he ran back from the company at three o'' clock in the afternoon, urging ye zhiqiao to prepare quickly.


    Ye zhiqiao knew what he was doing, but she didn''t expose him. It was not easy to ease the relationship. He could do whatever he wanted.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was secretly criticizing gu mohan, the waiter had already lured su pan, who had just arrived.


    Ye zhiqiao got up and was about to say hello when she saw a little girl with heavy makeup behind su pan.


    Su pan approached them and introduced them, "This is my sister, su yanbai. She had watched Mr. Gu''s interview video on tv before and had always admired it. Today, she heard that I was coming to have dinner with master gu and had to come with me. I''m really sorry. I wonder if it''s convenient?"

 Chapter 74 Your Brother Gu Is Not Perfect Either

    "Of course, what''s the inconvenience? Please take a seat. Ye zhiqiao agreed.


    The four of them sat down. Ye zhiqiao called the waiter to order and looked at su yanbai politely, "Miss su looks young. Should I call her sister?"


    Su yanbai spread out the napkin and looked at gu Mohan, "I''m a little younger than brother gu. I don''t know your age, so I don''t know if I''m younger than you."


    Although there was nothing wrong with what su yanbai said, ye zhiqiao still felt choked.


    Then he ignored the young lady who was obviously spoiled and spoke to su pan, "In the trial, it was really thanks to Mr. Su. If it weren''t for Mr. Su''s help, I still didn''t know if I could win the lawsuit."


    Su pan smiled modestly and said, "Don''t say that. I''m just doing my best. If miss ye doesn''t mind, just call me by my name. Don''t be so polite."


    Ye zhi qiao readily agreed, "Okay, then you don''t call me miss ye, just call me by my name."


    Although the two of them were not in a heated conversation, they were also very happy. On the other side, the atmosphere between the two of them was obviously a little strange.


    Gu mohan didn''t have much experience in sending women away. Apart from little treasure and ye zhiqiao, he never seemed to have much patience with any woman, and now...


    He tried his best to look at the girl who was chattering across the street with an indifferent gaze, occasionally giving a short reply, and more often a helpless chuckle in front of her flattery.


    This girl was su pan''s sister anyway. Su pan had helped ye zhiqiao so much. Today''s dinner was specially organized to thank su pan.


    Whoosh...


    Gu mohan sighed silently in his heart.


    Su yanbai smiled at him and asked, "Brother gu, don''t you have a girlfriend yet? Why don''t you fall in love when you''re so good? There must be a lot of girls like you!"


    "Yan yan." Su pan, who was chatting, heard her sister''s obvious question and quickly interrupted, "Don''t be rude."


    Gu mohan hurriedly said, "It''s okay. Kids are curious about this kind of thing."


    "That''s right, brother gu said so, and you scolded me! But brother gu..." Su yanbai looked at gu mohan and said seriously, "I''m not a child anymore. I''m already an adult, and I''ve been in love. Although I broke up, I think it''s their fault. If they were all men like brother gu, I would definitely..."


    "Your brother gu is not perfect either."


    When su pan turned to stop su yanbai, ye zhiqiao''s eyes were also attracted. In fact, ye zhiqiao noticed that su yanbai had been trying to get close to gu mohan long ago, but she was talking to su pan at that time, and gu Mohan was enjoying it, so she didn''t say anything.


    But when she heard that su yanbai had imagined gu mohan to be her boyfriend, ye zhiqiao could not help but interrupt her and say something like that.


    After that, the whole table became quiet, and ye zhiqiao wished she could bite off her tongue.


    Su pan was wondering why ye zhiqiao, who had been so polite just now, suddenly said such a sentence. According to his knowledge, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were just partners and had no intimate personal relationship.


    Su yanbai, who at first only regarded ye zhiqiao as a weak persimmon with no fighting power, was suddenly choked by her, and she could not think of anything to argue with for a moment, so she froze there.


    Gu mohan was the first to realize that he was overjoyed for some reason, but he maintained his calm expression and said roundly, "Your sister ye is right. I''m not as good as I look. We''ve been together for a long time, and everyone should be bothering me."


    Although he said this to ease the atmosphere, it was obvious that he was talking to ye zhiqiao. Su pan heard it and smiled. She looked at su yanbai and said, "You are not old and always like to talk nonsense. If you mess around again, will you come out with me next time?"


    Su yanbai jabbed the bottom of the plate with a fork, but did not answer.


    Not long after, the waiter brought the food for several people.


    The dinner was already served, and the atmosphere was gradually livening up. Su yanbai stared at ye zhiqiao with a cold face for a long time. Seeing that she had no intention of paying attention to herself, she angrily withdrew her gaze.


    Do you think you''ll be fine if you ignore me? Su yanbai thought to herself, "Everyone can see how close ye zhiqiao was to brother gu." Hmph! No matter how powerful you are, as long as it is the person I like, no one else can take it away!


    "Sister ye." Su yanbai called out politely.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned for a long time before she realized that this young lady was indeed calling herself right, and then agreed, "What''s wrong?"


    Didn''t you just keep gouging yourself out with an eye knife? Why are you smiling at each other so soon?


    Su yanbai pushed her fried fish meat in front of ye zhiqiao and said with a smile, "I ate this fish the last time I came here. It''s a specialty of the chef here. It''s fragrant, tender and juicy. It''s delicious. I haven''t touched it yet. Try it."


    Ye zhi happened to look at the perfectly shaped pale yellow and white fish, then at su yanbai''s sincere and expectant eyes. She paused and forked a piece.


    "How is it? How is it? Is it good to eat?" Su yanbai asked, biting her fork.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "It''s really delicious."


    Gu mohan saw that ye zhiqiao was really seriously tasting the fish, and he sneered in his heart: there must be a demon when things go wrong. This silly woman really thought that she was being made up to.


    Sure enough, su yanbai saw that ye zhiqiao did not resist and said her purpose.


    "Sister ye, I heard from my brother that you are a fashion designer. I am going to have a masquerade party at home tomorrow. Can you come too? Help me stand up so that I can compete with my friends."


    "This..." Ye zhiqiao thought that the two of them had only met for the first time today, and the relationship did not seem to be that familiar.


    "Oh, sister ye, please help me, please! They always say I have bad taste, and I don''t want to be laughed at by them anymore!" Su yanbai said coquettishly.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that she had said so and could not refuse, so she had to answer, "Okay, but I can''t guarantee that I can earn your face back."


    "Sister ye is the best! Come on... This chicken wing is delicious too. Try this..." Su yanbai said affectionately.

 Chapter 75 Beauty and Beast

    After returning home that night, gu mohan followed ye zhiqiao directly into her bedroom.


    "Why did you come in?" Ye zhiqiao asked in surprise.


    Gu mohan sat on the bed and commanded, "Take the clothes, decorations and tools to the living room."


    "Hmm?"


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s stupefied appearance, gu mohan thought to himself, it''s a good thing that I decided to go with you tomorrow, or else you wouldn''t know if you were being bullied by someone else.


    "I said - I want you to take your things to the living room and make clothes for tomorrow''s masquerade party, and make mine as well."


    Ye zhiqiao stuttered and asked, "You... You also... Want to go?"


    Gu mohan glanced at her, got up and went out, ready to wait for her in the living room.


    The next day.


    Gu mohan looked around and walked out of the house. Then he rushed into the car. The moment he closed the door, his heart was still hanging.


    Ye zhiqiao followed him into the car with a snicker on her face. She forced herself to hold back and asked, "Master gu is sneaking around all of a sudden?"


    The way gu mohan walked from the bedroom to the door just now was like a thief running into someone else''s house for fear of being seen by his master.


    "Ha ha... Ha ha ha..." Thinking of the scene just now, ye zhiqiao could not help but laugh.


    Gu mohan also felt that his appearance just now was too embarrassing. He grabbed the epaulet on his shoulder and said coldly, "Drive."


    He ran so fast just now because he was afraid of being seen by little treasure. It was really... An unprecedented humiliation!


    Because he was in a bad mood, he also handed the task of driving to ye zhiqiao. Who asked her to make her clothes look like this when she went to work last night?


    Ye zhiqiao curled her lips, started the car and said, "It''s not like what you said. It''s pretty. All princes in fairy tales are like this."


    It''s actually really pretty. Because she was afraid that gu mohan would not get used to it, ye zhiqiao purposely set the theme of the costume as "Beauty and beast," and the beast still changed back to the appearance of the prince.


    This way, gu mohan could just put on a slightly improved suit. At the masquerade ball, this kind of dress was really common.


    Gu mohan was never interested in going to a masquerade ball and felt very childish. He pointed to the edge of his suit and said, "Nice? Would it really look good if you told the sapphire blue suit to be fitted with a bright yellow outer edge?"


    Then he tugged at his shoulder badge again, "Why do you have this thing on your shoulder? What the hell is this? Why does it have to be sewn with something like a grain of wheat?"


    Ye zhi happened to be dizzy and dizzy from his incessant questions. After a long time of silence, she said, "Do you think that when you get angry, you talk a lot?"


    "Hmph!" Gu mohan turned his head to the window and said nothing more.


    Ye zhiqiao did not dare to laugh too presumptuously, but one hand holding the steering wheel could not stop shaking.


    "Wow!"


    "Oh my god! Who is this?"


    "No, I''ll ask yan yan."


    When gu mohan and ye zhiqiao arrived, the masquerade party had already begun, and the entire su family villa was dark, with only a few lights emitting a faint halo.


    In this atmosphere, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s costumes successfully attracted everyone''s attention.


    Ye zhiqiao was wearing a yellow sleeveless floor-length dress with creases on her shoulders and chest, and the bottom of the dress was puffed up to look exactly like the princess dress in the cartoon.


    She also wore a small crystal crown on top of her head, looking bright and lovely.


    The prince''s outfit, which gu mohan had despised so much, amazed all the women in the room with his tall figure.


    The combination of sapphire blue and yellow may be a little strange in real life, but in the world of animation, it is no different from the fierce monster.


    In addition, just outside the door, ye zhiqiao forced him to put a scar on his face, which was a combination of prince and beast!.


    A girl with a fox tail pulled her boyfriend in Altman''s clothes to the side and looked at him dumbfounded.


    Then she slapped her boyfriend on the head, "Look at the couple''s outfit they designed, and then look at what you made!"


    "Altman" rubbed his head and said, "Altman can also like little foxes."


    "Little fox" touched his furry ears and whispered, "Why is that woman so happy?"


    At this moment, su yanbai happened to walk down the stairs. Just now, her friend went up to look for her and said that a pair of handsome men and beautiful women had come down and asked her to quickly introduce them.


    Standing in the distance, su yanbai recognized gu mohan as the tall figure, and the one standing beside him, holding his arm, was ye zhiqiao!


    I wanted to take today''s opportunity to teach this woman a lesson, but I didn''t expect gu mohan to come with her, and the two of them pretended to be lovers, looking so close.


    Didn''t gu mohan never participate in such activities? Could he put down his body and pride for ye zhiqiao?


    Su yanbai quickly walked up to the two of them, looked up and down, and said, "Sister ye is really amazing. She looks so beautiful. All my friends are inferior to you."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly, "No, don''t say that."


    "Sister ye is still modest? I was blinded by your brilliance. A few people just came over and asked me who you were. Do you want me to tell them that sister ye is single, too?"


    "Stop messing with your sister ye. She''s not as fun as you kids are." Gu mohan interrupted.


    When he said that, su yanbai could not say anything more. After a pause, she thought of another way.


    "Sister ye, don''t be so conservative! To show brother gu that he was worried. Sister should have noticed that I like brother gu very much. If sister is so timid, I don''t think you deserve him."


    "You may have misunderstood, I..."


    "Let me ask you one thing, do you dare to compete with me? Don''t make me look down on you!" Su yanbai said with a heavy face.


    Ye zhiqiao already knew that su yanbai was not willing to give up on gu mohan, so she was not surprised. Then she asked, "Compared to what?"


    Su yan bai raised his neck, "Racing! Do you dare?!"


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously wanted to laugh.


    In fact, apart from her design, she didn''t usually participate in other activities. If su yanbai said something special, she might not have a chance to win, but racing...


    During the five years abroad, her neighbor was a foreign girl who loved racing. Whenever she encountered a bottleneck in her writing or was sad to think about what happened in the country, the lively girl would drag her to race together.


    In the fast-moving world, she seemed to be able to forget her worries for a while and completely relax herself, so later on, even without the girl''s invitation, she would practice racing from time to time. Her racing skills became better and better, and she was no worse than a professional racer.

 Chapter 76 Racing in the Storm

    "Okay, I promise you."


    Seeing that she had agreed so readily, su yanbai thought she was trying to show off in front of gu mohan and continued, "Sister ye is really bold. But since it''s a competition, there has to be a bet. If anyone wins..."


    She turned to look at gu mohan, "Just kiss brother gu, okay?"


    Although ye zhiqiao was a little reluctant to make this bet, she thought that as long as she won the competition in the end, she could kiss gu mohan or not. Moreover, su yanbai wished she didn''t kiss her brother gu.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao nodded and agreed.


    Gu mohan stood aside and saw that ye zhiqiao had a confident look before, and then agreed to this bet. Although he did not like being used as a bet, his mood could not help but be happy.


    Ye zhiqiao always surprises people.


    Su yanbai''s movements were quick. She called her friend directly to get the car ready for the race. After choosing the location of the race, she made an appointment with everyone to meet on the mountain road in the suburbs two hours later.


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan went home to change their clothes and drove straight to the suburbs.


    The mountain road was not well laid out and the road was narrow, so it could be pushed down by accident, but because of the bad road conditions there, very few people usually passed it. As long as the driver passed the test, it was indeed a perfect place for racing.


    When she reached the place, su yanbai was already waiting with a few friends.


    Gu mohan frowned as soon as he got out of the car.


    I didn''t notice it in the car just now, but now I realized that the sky had become gray since when, and the sun had gone somewhere, leaving a faint yellow patch. The cold wind "Woo woo" had blown the leaves on the ground and turned them around. The sky in the far north had even completely darkened.


    Of course, the others noticed that the man dressed as "Altman" at the masquerade party just now looked up for a long time and then said to su yanbai, "Miss su, it doesn''t look good today. Maybe it will rain heavily. Don''t compete today."


    "Little fox" also said, "Yes, yan yan, let''s find another chance next time!"


    Su yanbai looked at ye zhiqiao, who was also a little worried, and said, "Why, are you not afraid?"


    Gu mohan stopped the conversation and said, "The weather is really bad now. In order to avoid taking such a big risk for an insignificant competition, we must change the time."


    "Don''t worry, brother gu. My skills are very good. It only takes me 20 minutes to finish the competition." Su yanbai said confidently.


    "Sister ye, you don''t have to be afraid. Just drive."


    "Okay."


    "Ye zhiqiao!" Gu mo said coldly, "Why are you arguing with a little girl?!"


    Ye zhiqiao knew that gu mohan was worried about her, so she softened her voice and said, "It''s okay. It''s annoying to be pestered by her all the time, isn''t it?"


    Then he said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Trust me, it''s definitely faster than twenty minutes."


    Seeing that they could not be stopped in any way, gu mohan was angry, but he was still worried. He opened ye zhiqiao''s car and sat in the passenger seat.


    "What are you doing?!" Ye zhiqiao asked in surprise.


    Gu mohan turned his head and remained silent.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "Well, if you want to sit, sit. I drive very steadily."


    Ye zhiqiao and su yanbai both got into the car and were ready. With the whistle of "Altman," the red and blue cars rushed forward like arrows.


    Before the smoke from the back of the car dissipated, a drop of rain fell, and then a torrential rain began to pour all over the place.


    And the people in the car didn''t have the energy to pay attention to it.


    Halfway through the journey, ye zhiqiao kept her strength and protected su yanbai so that she could drive on the inside of the curve, so the two of them still walked side by side.


    Su yanbai was not as relaxed as ye zhiqiao. She had used all her skills to ensure that she was not left behind.


    Ahead was the last bend, and ye zhi looked at the red car on the left with her spare light, looking for the right time to rush straight in front of it.


    Su yanbai saw ye zhiqiao''s intention and knew that if she overtook her this time, she would never be able to return to the sky again, so she ruthlessly stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.!!!


    Suddenly, the rear left tire of the red car started to slide!


    Because su yanbai was unwilling to lower the speed, the whole body was swinging more and more, and in the end, it was completely out of control.


    "Ah!!!" Su yanbai yelled and watched her car crash into the blue car next to her.


    When ye zhiqiao found out, it was already too late. She was also in super high speed, so it was impossible to brake immediately. If she slammed on the brakes, the whole car would fly straight out of the cliff because of inertia.


    After a while, the red car slid down the inner lane to the outer lane where the blue car was. The two cars lost control and fell straight down the cliff!


    Gu mohan sat in the passenger seat and watched as he followed the car to the side of the road. The image in front of him turned and the sense of weightlessness followed.


    His instinctive reaction at that time was to look for ye zhiqiao beside him. After seeing that ye zhiqiao had closed her eyes tightly, he stretched out his arm and hugged her tightly into his arms. He held her back with one hand and protected her head with the other.


    Then he closed his eyes.


    ...


    ...


    ...


    When ye zhiqiao woke up, she found herself locked in her arms. She knew who the man was holding her almost without thinking.


    "Gu mohan. Gu mohan?"


    She called twice, but received no response, as long as she used a little strength to push the person on her body.


    Unexpectedly, the other party did not react at all, like a noodle bag, straight as the back of the glass window fell.


    The glass was broken, and he had to break his head.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly grabbed him and let him lean against the back.


    Ye zhiqiao''s head was dizzy and she felt pain from time to time, but she quickly recalled what had just happened.


    Su yanbai''s car slipped out of control and crashed into her car... As she rolled down, someone held her tightly.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan, who had closed his eyes and had no reaction, and felt a wave of fear in her heart. Then she thought of his weak but warm breath when he was near him, and her hanging heart relaxed a little.


    The pain on her body gradually came back to life, but it was not unbearable. Ye zhiqiao held on to her body as if it had been torn apart and reorganized, opened the door and walked out of the car.


    He looked up and saw that the road around the mountain where the race was just now was in the distance.


    Fortunately, there was a dense forest below. If it was really a cliff, he might have gone to see his mother.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled bitterly, then exclaimed that her luck was really good. The car had turned so many times in midair that it could still land face up on the ground!

 Chapter 77 The Way to Feed Water

    "Well..."


    Gu mohan groaned intermittently in the car, which had been smashed into pieces and could barely see the outline.


    Ye zhiqiao thought he was awake, so she quickly walked to the side of the co-pilot, opened the door and looked inside.


    When he looked closely, he realized that gu mohan still had his eyes closed. The only difference was that he was frowning and moaning in pain from time to time.


    Ye zhiqiao thought that he might have been injured in the process of falling to protect her. Such a high cliff, she only suffered a little skin trauma, presumably all the violent impact was gu mohan resistant to his own body.


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly felt extremely regretful and remorseful. If she hadn''t insisted on competing with su yanbai, gu mohan wouldn''t have been involved.


    At that time, gu mohan had clearly warned her seriously to give up the competition, but she had completely ignored his words because of her ridiculous competitive intent. Gu mohan, who was usually so proud and conceited, sat in her car resolutely to protect her after his words were ignored.


    After gu mohan got into the car, his face was pulled, not angry, but helpless!


    Ye zhiqiao reached out and gently stroked gu mohan''s cheek, trying to ease his pain, but obviously, this method was useless.


    The rain slowed down a little, but there was no intention of stopping.


    Ye zhiqiao took out her cell phone and looked at the time. It was already past five in the afternoon, and there was no signal in this mountain forest, so there was no way to contact the outside rescue. They could only wait for su yanbai''s friends on the road to find the relevant personnel to search and rescue.


    But the air here is so cold now. In a few hours, it will be even colder after the sun goes down. She can make do with it, but...


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at the car.


    Just now, she noticed that gu mohan''s face was a little hot, probably with a fever, and there was dried blood on his head. He must have been injured. She didn''t know if there were any other wounds on his body. In short, it was absolutely impossible to spend the night in this open space.


    Ye zhiqiao looked around and found a cave about ten meters in front of her right.


    Although there were very few visitors to this mountain forest, it was said that there were still a few farmers who came here occasionally to collect medicine and had never heard of any animal injuries, so the cave should be very safe.


    Ye zhiqiao dragged gu mohan out of the car, panting before she could get to the cave.


    I didn''t expect someone who looked so thin to be so heavy!


    Ye zhiqiao put his arm on her shoulder, then put her hand around his waist and moved forward step by step, thinking that no matter how thin he was, he was still a big man, and his height was there. Now he was unconscious, he must not be light.


    Ten meters away, the two of them walked for more than ten minutes.


    Ye zhi coincidentally entered the cave and placed gu mohan on a soft, muddy ground and began to examine his wounds carefully.


    This one look did not know, looked frightened ye zhiqiao a big jump.


    The wound on gu mohan''s head was in the back of his head, and the wound that had stopped bleeding was now slowly flowing out of his body because of the movement he had made earlier.


    Because of the cold weather recently, ye zhi happened to wear a pair of woolen pants under a cotton skirt. Now the situation was urgent and she couldn''t care less. She tore the skirt open and wrapped it around gu mohan''s head.


    There is no medicine now, but the blood must be stopped first.


    Fortunately, the wound was not deep enough to stop bleeding after a while.


    Ye zhiqiao then took off gu mohan''s shirt. When she came over earlier, she dragged gu mohan. She had seen him unconsciously pressing his shoulder occasionally, and there might be injuries there.


    As soon as she took off her clothes, ye zhiqiao was stunned.


    Just now, when she saw the large hole and fresh blood on gu mohan''s shirt, she knew that the wound would not be as shallow as the one on her head, but she never expected it to be so serious!


    The skin and flesh around the wound had been rolled open, and blood was continuously gushing from inside. No wonder gu mohan''s face was so bad that even his lips were pale. It turned out that he had lost too much blood.


    Ye zhiqiao thought that the wound was so deep that it would be infected by accident. If the rescue team hadn''t found it tomorrow morning, she would have to try to find a way out. Otherwise, gu mohan wouldn''t be able to hold on for long.


    She took a deep breath and wrapped the bandage around the wound with trembling hands, hoping it would help.


    When her hand touched her body, ye zhiqiao was stunned again.


    The temperature was much higher than before. If it was just a low fever, it would have reached 38 degrees by now.


    "Cold... Cold... I... I am cold..." Gu mohan still did not wake up, but subconsciously called out cold.


    Indeed, the cave could be sheltered from the wind a little, but there was still a cold wind coming in from the entrance of the cave.


    Ye zhiqiao painfully put on his blood-stained clothes and wrapped him up with her body. Her hands firmly wrapped around his back and head, just as he had done before.


    Gu mohan used this action to protect her from harm, and she used this action to warm gu Mohan.


    After more than half an hour, ye zhiqiao looked at the phone, but there was still no signal, and the power was only half.


    Gu mohan''s body was still very hot, and even his nose was scarily hot. His lips were chapped and dry, and he was short of blood and water.


    If this continued, he would definitely not be able to stand it. There was no warmth, no food, no water, and he was seriously injured...


    No way!


    Ye zhiqiao felt that she could not continue to wait and die. On the way here just now, she seemed to hear the sound of water flowing. There was no guarantee that there would be a stream or something, so she had to try her luck.


    She did not dare to hesitate any longer. She took off her coat and covered gu mohan. Knowing that he could not hear her, she whispered, "Wait for me here. I''ll be back soon."


    Ye zhiqiao was wearing a sweater and a pair of thin woolen pants. She sat in the lower and lower temperature of the mountain forest, carefully discerning the direction of the sound of water, and then followed this general direction and walked forward.


    After walking for about ten minutes, ye zhi coincidentally went down a hill and turned around to find the source of the sound of the water - a clear and bottomless stream!


    Ye zhiqiao jumped excitedly on the spot a few times, then walked around and looked around, picked a huge leaf, rolled into a cone, scooped up a handful of water into the stream.


    In order to check whether the stream was safe, she had already taken a big sip in advance. When she returned to the cave, she did not feel anything strange, so she gave it to gu mohan to drink.


    "Gu mohan... Gu mohan? Swallow it... Drink it..."


    Seeing the water flowing out of gu mohan''s mouth, his clothes were all wet, but he couldn''t swallow it. Ye zhiqiao hurriedly put some strength on her hand and pinched his chin...


    No, the stream still flowed on his clothes like it did just now.


    Half the water in the leaves was wasted, and he still didn''t drink a single mouthful.


    Ye zhi coincidentally panicked. She had learned a little about first aid and knew how important it was to replenish water when someone was injured, but now...


    If it really doesn''t work, there''s only one way left.


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lip, her heart still wavering, but she moved very quickly.


    She drank a big mouthful of water and then slowly lowered her head to gu mohan''s dry lips.


    Just think of it as artificial respiration, think of it as a drowning person, and think of it as something more serious than drowning, right? It was all to save herself that she became like this.


    Ye zhiqiao was closing her eyes and doing some mental work for herself.


    Just as the first drop of water entered gu mohan''s mouth, his eyes turned and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened a gap.

 Chapter 78 The Three of Them Were Finally Rescued

    Ye zhiqiao was concentrating on feeding the water when she suddenly felt a hot line of sight on her body. She looked up along that line of sight and met gu mohan''s smiling eyes.


    "!!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s mouth was still pressed against his lips, and his hot breath sprayed on her face. The two of them looked at each other, and it really looked like they were kissing.


    However, the positions of the two seemed to be not quite right. Ye zhiqiao was now pressing on gu mohan''s body, and it was completely fitting.


    Ye zhiqiao came back to her senses, as if she had been pricked by a needle and scrambled to get up from the ground. She was a few meters away from him, and as she gestured, she explained, "I... I... You... You... I just... Because you... You can''t drink water, I just..."


    Gu mohan did not speak and looked at her meaningfully.


    So ye zhiqiao was even more flustered, "What I said is true. I... I really didn''t mean it."


    Seeing her incoherent and flustered look, even though gu mohan was in the heat, he quickly understood what had just happened, but seeing her pitiful and slightly shy eyes, he couldn''t help but want to tease her.


    Gu mohan cleared his throat with a low cough, then pretended to be serious and said, "I didn''t expect you to come and take advantage of me while I was unprepared, pretending to be a gentleman."


    "I didn''t!" After he said so strangely, ye zhiqiao became even more nervous and explained repeatedly, "I really didn''t. You were hurt, you..."


    Gu mohan''s cough interrupted ye zhiqiao''s words. When ye zhiqiao saw his weak appearance, she couldn''t take the time to correct her name. She quickly handed over the leaf she had been holding in her hand, "There''s still a lot of water in it. You should drink it first. Drink it first."


    Gu mohan coughed until the sky was dark and the wounds on his body began to bleed again. He took the water and drank a few mouthfuls before calming down temporarily.


    "You have a little conscience... Take advantage of me and know how to repay it."


    Ye zhiqiao could barely agree with the first half of the sentence. When she heard the second half, she almost jumped up, "Why are you so unreasonable?! You... I think you did it on purpose, or you weren''t seriously injured. You should die of thirst!"


    Gu mohan''s head was still hurting, as if something was going to explode from his head. He had no strength and leaned back slowly, "Tell me, how long have you been eyeing me?"


    "You... I don''t care about you anymore. You can live and die here!" With that, ye zhi ran out of the cave without looking back.


    Gu mohan remained calm and motionless, calculating that she would not return until a few minutes later.


    Sure enough, two minutes later.


    Ye zhiqiao stood at the entrance of the cave angrily and shouted at gu mohan, "I''m going to find su yanbai!"


    Gu mohan could not help but laugh, causing the wounds on his body to ache.


    Ye zhiqiao remembered that the two cars had fallen down the cliff from the same position, so they should not be too far away.


    In fact, she had long wanted to look for su yanbai. She was worried that something might happen to her as a girl, but gu mohan had not woken up before, so she was really worried about leaving.


    Ye zhiqiao returned to the location of her car, roughly estimated the distance and angle, and walked north with her legs raised.


    To the north was a more dense forest. Ye zhi happened to walk through the dense trees for a little while and saw a car that was half on the ground.


    Why was it a half fall?


    Su yanbai was obviously not as lucky as them. Two wheels landed on the left side of her car, while the other two were stuck in the thick branches on the right side, which was why su yanbai never got out of the car.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly approached and looked inside through the cracked car window.


    Although su yanbai was frightened and scared, she was still awake and sensed that someone was approaching, so she started banging on the car window.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded to indicate that she understood and then opened the door.


    Su yanbai''s face was covered with snot and tears, and the color of the eye shadow left traces on her face.


    "Sister ye, my... My leg hurts. It really hurts! What should I do?"


    The little girl was obviously frightened and started crying again when she saw the people she knew.


    Ye zhiqiao put her head into the car and looked carefully. Because the front of the car was deformed by the impact, the position of the two seats changed, and now su yanbai''s feet were tightly stuck in the middle of the seat.


    No wonder the door was open, but su yanbai never came out.


    "It doesn''t matter. Don''t be afraid. I''ll break your seat open a little now. You can take your feet out with a little more space." After saying that, ye zhiqiao began to move, and comforted her from time to time.


    Seeing that there was almost enough space between the seats, ye zhiqiao reached out her hands from su yanbai''s armpits and slowly pulled her away from the seat.


    After leaving the car, su yanbai cried loudly and kept saying that her leg hurt.


    Ye zhiqiao was resting on the ground after consuming a lot of energy. When she saw su yanbai''s appearance, she couldn''t help but frown.


    If it was just a sprained ankle, it wouldn''t hurt like this without touching it, wouldn''t it...


    Ye zhiqiao stood up, went to su yanbai and squatted down, carefully opening her pants.


    "It hurts!!"


    As soon as a crack was lifted, su yanbai screamed.


    No way, she was wearing tight pants and couldn''t see the injury in her leg, but from her performance, ye zhiqiao should have guessed right.


    Su yanbai''s calf was probably broken.


    "I''m afraid your leg is broken, but don''t be afraid. This kind of situation is very common. Just leave it to the doctor when you go back. With the current medical technology, there won''t be any traces left."


    Ye zhi qiao gave su yanbai a clear and organized summary of her situation, then looked at her pale face and comforted her for a while, before carrying her back to the cave where she came and went.


    Gu mohan did not know when he fell asleep again, still wearing ye zhiqiao''s coat.


    Ye zhiqiao placed su yanbai next to him gently and whispered, "You don''t have any injuries on your body, but he has big wounds on his shoulder and head. He''s still having a fever. I only have one piece of warm clothing that I have to wear for him..."


    Su yanbai immediately understood and quickly said, "I''m not wearing it... I''m not cold at all."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled happily, then got up and went to the stream to fetch water.


    When she handed the water to su yanbai, the little girl finally lowered her head embarrassingly and the mosquito grunted, "... Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao knew that she didn''t like her, but she thanked herself for saving her, so she thanked her awkwardly. She smiled and said, "You don''t need to thank me. You should drink some water and rest for a while to replenish your strength. If the rescue team doesn''t come tomorrow morning, I''ll go out and find a way out. You''ll have to take care of your brother gu."


    The next day.


    Ye zhiqiao kept forcing herself to wake up, afraid that she would miss the cries of the people who came to rescue her, but she still couldn''t hold back in the early morning and fell asleep.


    When she woke up, it had stopped raining all night. The sky was clear and transparent, and a faint golden light shone in the east.


    Gu mohan woke up once in the night, but soon he fell asleep again. Ye zhiqiao tried to wake him up but failed. She did not know whether he was sleeping because of his fever or because he was in a coma because he was weak.


    Su yanbai obviously didn''t sleep well either, so she opened her eyes when she heard the noise. Then she shook her head, listened carefully, and asked in surprise, "Did you... Hear anything?"


    Sound?


    Ye zhiqiao stood up and ran out of the cave in two steps.


    Twenty meters away, a team of rescue workers were shouting as they walked towards the area.


    "Here! We are here!!"


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and shouted in the rising sun.

 Chapter 79 Gu Mohans Life Was Unknown

    The three men were quickly carried on stretchers and rushed to the hospital.


    Ye zhiqiao had no problem except for some skin injuries and excessive physical exertion. Su yanbai was sent to the orthopedics department for treatment and was fine except for a broken leg.


    And gu Mohan...


    Ye zhiqiao was sitting on a bench outside the emergency room with her hands folded on her knees.


    The doctor in the emergency room sent gu mohan to the emergency room immediately after the examination. The middle-aged doctor asked ye zhiqiao to sign the contract and only said one sentence in time, "The wound on the shoulder is infected with tetanus. We must rescue the patient now!" Then he hurriedly changed into a surgical gown.


    Ye zhiqiao sat on the chair with her eyes blank, forgetting to cry.


    The day before yesterday, gu mohan was still making prince and princess dresses in the living room of the house with her. Yesterday afternoon, he was still dragging his seriously injured body to tease her, watching her blushing face with a bad smile. Now, he was lying in an operating room separated by a door, his life and death unknown.


    When qin ning received the call from ye zhiqiao, she was comforting little treasure in gu mohan''s villa because she was worried about her father and aunt ye, who refused to eat. After listening to ye zhiqiao''s intermittent explanation of gu mohan''s condition, he quickly got up and drove to the hospital.


    Little treasure, who had been listening carefully to the phone, knew that his father was in danger, and he was even more noisy, "Dad... Dad is in the hospital. He was very sick, wasn''t he?"


    "Be good, little treasure, you first..."


    "Grandma li, please, take little treasure to see daddy... I... I miss daddy..."


    Little treasure burst into tears, and his soft voice became hoarse from crying several times in a row.


    "I want dad... Please..." Little treasure looked up, his mouth wide open, and he cried miserably.


    Aunt Li didn''t know how to drive, and he didn''t dare to take little treasure over without permission. After coaxing him for a long time, it didn''t work. In a hurry, he had to call ye zhiqiao.


    Qin ning had already arrived at the hospital. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was worried about xiao bao and gu mohan, she looked so anxious that she said, "Miss ye, Mr. Gu''s operation won''t be over for a while. Besides, I''m still here. Why don''t you go home to see xiao bao and change your dirty clothes? If you get sick again, who will take care of xiao bao and Mr. Gu?"


    Ye zhiqiao knew what he said was reasonable. Although she did not want to leave gu mohan at this time, she had no choice but to nod and agree.


    When little treasure heard the sound of the door opening, he paused and cried even louder when he saw that it was ye zhiqiao coming back.


    She flipped over the sofa and ran over to ye zhiqiao, hugging her leg and not letting go.


    "Aunt ye... Daddy... Where''s daddy... Take little treasure to him, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the crying pitiful, crying mess of the little guy, and her heart suddenly softened. She squatted down and hugged her in her arms.


    "Little treasure, daddy is fine. Aunt ye promised to take you to see him, but can you eat first?"


    "No!" Little treasure was so excited that he couldn''t hear what ye zhiqiao had said at all. He just kept shouting, "Want a father."


    Such a small child, crying for a long time is definitely not good, and little treasure''s health is not good.


    Ye zhi coincidentally thought about it and took little treasure''s two hands to make her listen to her seriously.


    "Okay, you can go see dad."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao agreed, xiao bao''s crying became a little quieter.


    Ye zhiqiao continued, "But dad will definitely be angry when he sees that you don''t eat. His anger will affect his body, so little treasure, be good, eat well first, then take a nap. Aunt ye will take you to see dad in the afternoon, okay?"


    Little treasure stopped crying and thought for a while, thinking that aunt ye would never lie to him, he sobbed and agreed, "Then... Little treasure is obedient. Aunt ye will keep her word. In the afternoon... One o'' clock, one o'' clock, we will go to the hospital."


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao stood up and asked aunt Li to prepare some simple food, then she took little treasure upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.


    After lunch, little treasure''s mood was gradually calmed down. Ye zhiqiao saw that there was more than an hour left, so she carried her upstairs to take a nap.


    Little treasure had been crying since last night when he didn''t see his father. He refused to sleep and eat. Today, when he heard that his father had an accident, he was even more nervous and sad. After crying and shouting, he spent a lot of energy. Now he was lying next to ye zhiqiao.


    Although ye zhiqiao was also tired, she was not a child after all. She could not sleep with her heart in her hands. She patted little treasure on the back and hummed a tune.


    "Mom." !!!


    Ye zhiqiao paused and looked at the little treasure in her arms.


    Little treasure did not sleep well and his thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed.


    Although her voice was hoarse and unclear, the two words she repeatedly mumbled were still understood by ye zhiqiao.


    Mom, she kept calling her mom.


    Ever since ye zhiqiao met little treasure, she had never heard her call her mother, and she had always ignored this question, but which child would not yearn for a mother?


    Perhaps, little treasure had asked gu mohan''s mother a question before, and gu mohan might have given the answer. He was as smart as little treasure. Later on, he was sensible enough not to mention the word in front of adults, but how could he not?


    Such a small child, but to bear so many things that even adults may not be able to bear.


    Ye zhiqiao tightened her grip on little treasure, but for some reason, she thought of the child she once had.


    That child who didn''t know whether she was alive or dead, if she was still alive, would she miss her mother like little treasure?


    In the afternoon, qin ning called to say that gu Mohan''s surgery was over, but he was still in danger.


    Ye zhiqiao took little treasure to see her father and said that as long as little treasure ate and slept on time every day, she would bring little treasure over once a day.


    After sending little treasure away, ye zhiqiao was finally able to calm down and accompany gu mohan.


    She reached out and gently touched the gauze wrapped around gu mohan''s head.


    The doctor had just said that although the wound on gu mohan''s shoulder that had been infected with tetanus had been temporarily controlled after the operation, it was still unstable and needed constant observation. In addition to this, there were also injuries to the back of his head.


    Although the wound was not large, it had been hit by a strong force and caused a temporary coma.


    But for the time being, I don''t know how long it will take.

 Chapter 80 One Patient and Two Patients

    Gu mohan had been in a coma for 60 hours. His attending doctor gently told ye zhiqiao that if the patient still could not wake up after 72 hours, then the situation might continue to deteriorate.


    Ye zhiqiao understood what the doctor meant. She thanked the doctor, and then she wiped gu Mohan''s body, massaged his hands and feet, and talked to him every day as before.


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously thought that gu mohan would not wake up. Even if I can''t wake up for the next three days, there will be another three days, the next three days...


    She could always take care of him, waiting for him to wake up.


    That night, ye zhiqiao did not leave. She hoped that if gu mohan woke up, she would be the first to know.


    Morning, 72 hours after gu mohan was unconscious.


    The first ray of sunlight hit ye zhiqiao''s cheek. She wrinkled her nose and snorted, then turned around and continued to sleep.


    Gu mohan could no longer see her face. He was a little anxious and leaned forward, stretching his neck and looking at her.


    Feeling the shaking of the hospital bed, ye zhi coincidentally woke up and sat up while rubbing her stiff neck.


    In the corner of the eye, he saw a blue shadow, turned his head, and froze.


    Gu mohan was also looking at her.


    Just now, she was lying on her stomach, but now she stood up and looked haggard. Although her skin was still very white, it was completely pale after overwork. Her eyes were deep and it was obvious that she hadn''t slept well for a long time.


    "Have you been here for the past few days?"


    Hearing gu mohan''s voice, ye zhiqiao finally believed that she was not dreaming, but she couldn''t help but confirm, "You... Are you awake?"


    Gu mohan''s originally expressionless face slowly burst into a smile, melting into the morning sun, incomparably warm.


    "I''m so tired from sleeping that I''m not allowed to wake up yet?"


    Originally, it was a joke, but it unexpectedly made ye zhiqiao cry.


    "What''s wrong? I was teasing you. Why are you crying?"


    Ye zhiqiao was happy and wronged. She didn''t hear him clearly, but cried out with her heart.


    Gu mohan knew that she was worried about him. Although he didn''t know how long he had been unconscious, he would hear ye zhiqiao''s low voice in his ear every time he became conscious. He couldn''t hear what she was saying, but he was happy as long as he knew it was ye zhiqiao.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was crying like this, he was only moved by the pain, so he quickly reached out and took ye zhiqiao into his arms.


    He thought to himself, is it a purposeful approach? So what if he''s hiding something? As long as ye zhiqiao stayed by his side and cried for him, wouldn''t that be enough?


    "Cry again, the more you cry, the uglier it gets. I just woke up. Don''t scare me into fainting again."


    Gu mohan patted ye zhiqiao on the back and said with a smile.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to push him away, she heard an exclamation from the door.


    The two of them looked over and saw little treasure in qin ning''s arms.


    "This... Little treasure just saw president gu wake up at the door and was about to run over. He fainted for some reason." Qin ning quickly said this and ran to the doctor with little treasure in her arms.


    Little treasure''s attending doctor examined little treasure, then prescribed some medicine and gave her fluids. Not long after, she woke up.


    Ye zhiqiao was in the office listening to the doctor explain the situation of little treasure, and gu mohan was also there.


    He knew that little treasure was ill and refused to wait in the ward. He insisted on following him. Ye zhiqiao knew that she couldn''t stop him, so she agreed.


    The doctor pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said, "Little treasure''s overall condition was good a while ago. This sudden situation should be caused by excessive worry in the recent period. Don''t look at the child as young as you think she doesn''t understand anything. Little treasure is smart."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "Yes, we know."


    "Yeah. There was also a big problem with xiao bao''s diet recently. According to her examination results, she hadn''t eaten well in the past few days, which caused her stomach disease. Her spleen and stomach have always been very problematic. I suggest that she be hospitalized this time."


    Of course, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had no objections and immediately went through the hospitalization procedures for little treasure.


    After that, the two of them went to little treasure''s ward to see her.


    When little treasure saw his father, he immediately became dishonest and almost dropped the needle.


    Gu mohan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm, then carried her into his arms and said seriously, "You still dare to move. During the days when dad was not around, you seem to be not good at all. You didn''t eat well, didn''t sleep well, and even brought yourself to the hospital. Do you know how worried father and aunt ye were about you just now that you fainted?"


    Little treasure was already sensible. He cried a few days ago because he was worried about his father. Now that he saw that his father was getting better, he began to reflect on himself.


    "Auntie ye, little treasure was naughty a few days ago, wasn''t he? Aunt ye, don''t hate little treasure, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao did not expect little treasure to apologize to her, but felt moved and cherished this little baby. She quickly walked to her face and sat down, holding her little hand.


    "Why would auntie ye hate little treasure for saying such silly things? It''s too late to like you!"


    Then he turned around and lectured Mohan, "Little treasure is just a little bit better. Why are you scaring her? And isn''t little treasure sick because he''s worried about you?"


    Little treasure looked at auntie ye, who was "Vicious," then at his father, who had been taught to keep quiet, and muttered, "Daddy has been much better since he got sick."


    She had not forgotten the way the two of them were at daggers drawn.


    Gu mohan was a little embarrassed by what little treasure said and said, "Daddy won''t dare to provoke your aunt ye anymore. We both have to count on her to take care of us."


    Then he looked at ye zhiqiao and asked, "Right?"


    "You''re so beautiful!" Ye zhi glanced at him and turned her head to one side.


    Although that was the case, ye zhiqiao would not really ignore two patients, one big and one small. On the contrary, she felt that the food in the hospital was not nutritious, so she cooked three meals a day from home before taking them to the hospital.


    If gu mohan wanted to go for a walk, she had to accompany him the whole time, with a cup and towel. Little treasure wanted to hear a story, so she bought the latest version of the fairy tale book from the bookstore.


    She had to wash some fruits at night, send them to the ward by ward, or two patients who wanted to gather together to play go, so she had to watch and not talk.


    Every time at this time, she would secretly gouge out gu mohan''s eyes with her eye knife. Little treasure was still a child. How could he have done it without help? However, gu mohan said with a beautiful name, "Watching chess without words, no regrets. Fair competition, no one else to disturb."


    Ye zhi qiaoqi''s teeth itched, thinking: then why do you have to let me come over to see?!

 Chapter 81 Leave Him Immediately

    After ten days of caring for two patients, ye zhiqiao lost five pounds.


    Little treasure gained two pounds and gu mohan gained seven pounds.


    Although their bodies have not fully recovered, the two of them are getting better at an extremely fast rate. Every time ye zhiqiao saw gu mohan''s increasingly "Round" face, she could not help but say sarcastically, "Master gu, please continue to grow meat, round and round so that so many young girls don''t miss it."


    Gu mohan didn''t take it seriously. He had lost a lot of weight during the days when he was injured and unconscious. Even a little more flesh wouldn''t hurt his image.


    "Am I fat? Why didn''t I see it? But I just smelled a whiff of jealousy."


    Ye zhiqiao said that she couldn''t beat him, so she took her bag and walked out. She opened the door and said, "Since you want to eat so much, I''ll add more vinegar to master gu''s dishes today."


    In the afternoon, ye zhiqiao was massaging gu mohan''s shoulder when she heard the sound of high heels coming from the corridor.


    "Does gu mohan live in this ward?"


    "Yes." The nurse looked carefully at the person in front of her and felt that she had seen it on tv, wondering if she would like to ask for an autograph later.


    Ye zhiqiao walked to the door and was just about to open the door to see who it was when someone pushed the door open from outside and almost hit her face.


    Liu Baizhi noticed ye zhiqiao''s movements behind the door and asked, "Yo! I''m sorry, I didn''t hurt you, did I?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and shook her head.


    He almost bumped into someone and didn''t even apologize. He just asked in a weird tone. Although ye zhiqiao was embarrassed to say something, gu mohan didn''t want to, "Liu Baizhi, you''re such a big man. Next time, it''s better to focus."


    "I finally pushed three announcements to see you. Is that how you treat me?" Liu Baizhi threw his bag away and sat directly beside gu mohan''s bed.


    Gu mo looked at her coldly and said nothing more. After all, he was here to visit, so he couldn''t say too much.


    Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, ye zhiqiao quickly picked up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of warm water, then handed it to Liu Baizhi.


    "Miss liu, have some hot water. It looks cold outside today."


    Liu Baizhi took the water and casually said, "Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t care about her attitude. Seeing that the flowers in the window were a little wilted, she remembered that she forgot to water them yesterday and walked over with the spray pot.


    Liu Baizhi glanced at her and then spoke to gu mohan.


    "Mohan, I heard you''ve been living here for a long time. What''s going on?"


    Gu mohan put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Nothing. I''ll be discharged soon."


    Liu Baizhi didn''t give up and asked, "Then how did you get hurt? I heard it was a fall. Where did it fall?"


    She had heard that gu mohan was seriously injured and almost died this time, and it seemed that it was because of ye zhiqiao.


    "You..." Gu mohan was about to speak when ye zhiqiao''s voice interrupted him.


    Ye zhiqiao had just finished watering the flowers, and when she saw gu mohan''s hospital gown on the stool, she thought that there was a guest right now, so she might as well wash the clothes herself.


    He picked up his clothes and told gu mohan, "You guys talk. I''m going to do the laundry first."


    Gu mohan had no intention of answering Liu Baizhi''s question, so he was interrupted. He nodded at ye zhiqiao and then stopped talking.


    Liu Baizhi didn''t know what he was thinking, but thought it was ye zhiqiao who deliberately interrupted him.


    Originally, Liu Baizhi was dissatisfied with ye zhiqiao''s constant entanglement with gu mohan, but now it was even more unpleasant to see.


    She snorted and said, "Just do the laundry. Why should I tell anyone? Is it so troublesome for nannies to do things now?"


    Of course, she knew that ye zhiqiao was not a nanny, so she said it just to disgust ye zhiqiao.


    Sure enough, ye zhiqiao was stunned after listening to her words, then opened her mouth to explain.


    Gu mohan took a step ahead of her and said coldly, "Is miss liu so busy with work that she has a bad memory? I remember telling you the last time we met that ye zhiqiao is my girlfriend."


    Liu Baizhi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Really?"


    Then he "Suddenly realized" : "Aye, isn''t it? It''s all my fault. I was just looking at her dress, and she was working all the time. I''m really sorry for treating her like a nanny."


    Gu mo laughed coldly and said, "She doesn''t need your apology. And since you''re so busy at work, you don''t have to come to see me anymore. Take your time."


    Liu Baizhi did not expect gu mohan to be so angry, so he quickly said, "I don''t... I don''t mean that. Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? I''ve never seen you like this before."


    "If you don''t leave, I can be even more anxious. Would you like to see me?" Gu mohan''s face darkened as he coldly dropped the sentence.


    Liu Baizhi understood gu mohan''s temper and knew that he would not be able to stay any longer today, so he stood up reluctantly and said goodbye to gu mohan in a soft voice.


    Then, when she left the house, she passed ye zhiqiao and gave her a hard look.


    Ye zhi coincidentally felt how innocent she was. She didn''t do anything but was hated like this.


    Not prepared to continue staying with the angry "Beauty disaster water," ye zhiqiao put down her clothes and picked up her bag, informed "Beauty disaster water," then went to the "Disaster water" daughter''s ward to take a look, and then went home to prepare dinner for the two patients.


    Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a tall figure just two steps out of the hospital gate.


    Ye zhiqiao was not short and had a good figure among her friends, but she still had to raise her head in front of Liu Baizhi, an international supermodel.


    Liu Baizhi was even taller and raised his chin. He lowered his eyes to look at ye zhiqiao, then sneered and said, "I really don''t know what kind of eyes gu mohan has. He actually likes a woman like you!"


    Little! Chicken! Son!


    The corner of ye zhiqiao''s mouth twitched. Although she was unhappy, she maintained her courtesy and said, "Is there anything wrong with miss liu? If it''s okay, I''ll go first."


    "Of course I''m busy, or do you think I have time to waste with you here?"


    Weren''t you just wasting your time?


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and asked, "Then what''s the matter with miss liu?"


    Liu Baizhi took a step forward, and liye zhiqiao came closer. She said in a deep voice, "I''m straight. I won''t beat around the bush. I''ll tell you directly. Gu mohan is someone I''ve liked for a long time, and we are a good match regardless of status and status, so I hope you leave him immediately."

 Chapter 82 Yi Chens Annual Party Dress

    Ye zhiqiao thought to herself that Liu Baizhi was not only a straight person, but also a dreamer.


    She had been in a difficult situation in the ward, and ye zhiqiao ignored her, only because she was gu mohan''s guest and kept her face, but she did not expect that she would come here to protest, and really treat her as a soft persimmon?


    "Miss liu, have you mentioned this to gu mohan?"


    "Hmph! How many years have I been friends with Mohan? Does this need to be made clear? Wouldn''t it be better if the client knew?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled speechlessly and said, "Then miss liu should continue to know her heart, but I advise you that you should know yourself when you have someone."


    With that, ye zhiqiao was about to lift her legs and leave.


    "Who do you think doesn''t know?" Liu Baizhi was straightforward but not stupid. He stepped in front of ye zhiqiao and said loudly, "Do you know yourself? Do you really think you deserve Mohan? He didn''t even look in the mirror! Anyway, you don''t have to worry about anything else. Just leave Mohan."


    Ye zhiqiao was annoyed by what she said and asked, "What if I say no?"


    "You! You..." Liu Baizhi was pinned by her, and for a moment, he really couldn''t think of a way to deal with her.


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled and said slowly, "Miss liu, if you have time, you should take two more photos. Gu mohan, you should stop dreaming. You will never get what you want."


    "Okay, ye zhiqiao, you really impressed me today!" Liu Baizhi breathed.


    "We are each other."


    Liu Baizhi stamped his foot and said in a hateful voice, "We''ll see how long you can be proud of!"


    With that, he took a big step and sat in the business car waiting by the side.


    Ye zhi coincidentally shook her head speechlessly and walked home with her legs raised.


    Seven days later, ye zhiqiao and aunt Li prepared a sumptuous meal at home to welcome two patients, one big and one small, to leave the hospital.


    Gu mohan finally took off his hospital gown and changed into his soft home clothes, not knowing how comfortable it was.


    Little treasure, too, ran back and forth behind ye zhiqiao when he got home. Huan said on the spot, "I must eat well in the future and never go to the hospital again!"


    Ye zhiqiao pinched her small face, which was round again, and said, "That''s good!"


    After a few days, the family finally sat back together and had a decent lunch.


    When ye zhiqiao thought of this place, she suddenly froze. I don''t know when I actually thought of gu mohan and little treasure as family?


    When she thought of Liu Baizhi''s frustration that day when she said those words, ye zhiqiao curved her mouth for no reason.


    The patients were discharged from the hospital in good health, so they had to work quickly after a long time.


    The next day, when ye zhiqiao arrived at the company, she received a complaint from Xiao Man, saying that she had to work late into the night every day these days and was busy beating the back of her head.


    Ye zhiqiao knew that she was indeed working hard, so she gave her a month''s paid vacation. Happily, she bought a plane ticket abroad that day and said that she would let the fresh air from abroad wash her tired spirit and body.


    Xiao Man had just left, and ye zhiqiao was regretting letting her out too early. There were a lot of things that she could not tidy up for a while, and yi chen arrived.


    Previously, ye zhiqiao and ye yiyu''s two sisters were in a uproar, and the whole city was in turmoil. For a long time, the tv and the newspapers were reporting about them.


    Later, through the competition and the court trial, it finally proved ye zhiqiao''s strength. Not only did she gain fame, but also her reputation. Now, almost everyone in the industry knows ye zhiqiao, an internationally renowned designer.


    Yi chen had planned to come to find ye zhi qiao long after he knew the whole story, but he had come twice before, and the secretary was on leave, not at the company.


    Today, yi chen finally met someone. It was really difficult.


    The secretary served tea to ye zhiqiao and yi chen and then left.


    When ye zhiqiao heard the secretary mention yi chen''s name earlier, she still didn''t remember if she knew this person before, but when she met him, she remembered that this was the person she had bumped into the last time she rushed xiao bao to the hospital.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled politely and said, "Mr. Yi, you are here today..."


    Yi chen smiled and said, "It''s not easy to see you. I knew I wouldn''t give you my business card last time. I should have asked for yours directly."


    Last time in the hospital, because of gu mohan''s presence, yi chen had secretly stuffed a business card to ye zhiqiao, but ye zhiqiao had something to do later, so he forgot about this.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly, "I''ve been a little busy lately. I''m really sorry."


    "It''s okay." Yi chen said briskly.


    "But could you ask miss ye to do me a small favor out of your busy schedule?"


    Ye zhiqiao asked in surprise, "What are you busy with?"


    "It''s very simple. Just design a dress for me."


    "Dress? Why don''t you..." Ye zhiqiao wanted to ask him why he didn''t let others do it and insisted on looking for him.


    Yi chen rubbed his chin and said, "Because this dress is for me to wear at the Yi''s annual meeting. In front of so many people, if my dress is not good enough, it will be laughed at by others."


    "But there are many other excellent designers, you..."


    Yi chen raised his hand and interrupted her, "I only believe in your ability. I can''t trust anyone else."


    Ye zhiqiao found it strange. Isn''t today the second time the two of them have met?


    Moreover, ye zhiqiao has been busy with the company''s affairs recently. Even if she has free time, there is no reason to design clothes for a man who has only met twice.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Yi." Ye zhiqiao politely refused, "I took a vacation a while ago, and there are a lot of things to deal with in the company, so I''m afraid I don''t have time to design a dress for you."


    "I won''t be in a hurry until you''re free."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled, "How can management companies be idle? I really can''t help you. I''ll think of something else. Otherwise, I can introduce you to a designer. She..."


    "No need." Yi chen stood up and chuckled, "In that case, I won''t trouble miss ye. I''ll go first."


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to get up to see off the guests, she saw that yi chen had already walked out quickly.


    Ye zhiqiao sat back on the sofa, and the more she thought about it, the more she found this young master yi strange.


    Although he was firmly rejected by ye zhiqiao, yi chen did not give up. After thinking about it for a while, he had to find his father to think of a way.


    When yi shaozhi saw his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, he couldn''t help but smile in surprise and say, "Do you still know how to come back?"

 Chapter 83 Acquisition of Yes Shares

    Yi shaozhi got up and asked his secretary to prepare the best coffee that his friend had given him a few days ago. He usually liked to drink tea, but he knew that yi chen liked these, so he kept them for him.


    Yi chen sat down on yi shaozhi''s office chair, turned around a few times and felt bored, so he spoke directly about his intentions.


    "Brother, I came to you today to ask you for a favor."


    Yi shaozhi could understand what yi chen said directly, "I knew you were a kid who would go to the three treasures palace for nothing. It''s hard to see you at ordinary times. If you hadn''t come to me for anything, I wouldn''t have seen you by the new year!"


    Yi chen smiled and said nothing.


    He was used to being free and didn''t like to be restrained, because he was afraid of being arranged to work in the company like his brother. When he was in college, he started to stay away from home. He went crazy with a few close friends all day. His girlfriend changed one after another. When his parents saw that he was really naughty, they gradually stopped caring about him and let him go.


    "Don''t say those useless things. Help or not, one word."


    "Help -" yi shaozhi personally brought the coffee to him and said with resignation, "If I can help, I will, but you have to tell me what it is, right?"


    Yi chen took a sip of coffee and commented, "It tastes good."


    Then he asked, "I want someone to design a dress for me, but that person doesn''t agree. Do you have a way?"


    "It depends on who it is. If..."


    "Ye zhiqiao."


    "Ye zhiqiao?" Yi shaozhi repeated the name and immediately remembered that this woman was a rising star in the design world. It was said that she was very powerful, and even the foreign design world praised her.


    "I heard that she took over a company from the gu family and recently became famous. She must have doubled her value. I don''t think she has time to design it for you personally, right? Let her designers..."


    "No." Yi chen interrupted yi shaozhi and said, "If you want to find someone else, I won''t beg you."


    "...


    Yi shaozhi looked at his brother carefully and said playfully, "I think you are not drunk, are you? Are you interested in her skills or in her personality?"


    Yi chen disliked the look of an old fox like a businessman the most. He stood up and said, "You don''t have to worry about that. Just tell me if you can help or not!"


    "Don''t be so anxious." Yi shaozhi sat back in his chair and thought for a while before saying, "It''s not that difficult, but you can''t let me do a loss-making business, can you?"


    "What do you want?" Yi chen was too lazy to deal with him and asked directly.


    "It''s very simple. You promised me to work at the company, and I''ll help you with that designer."


    Yi chen frowned, "To the company?"


    Yi shaozhi spread his hands and said, "Yes, right now my father has completely handed over the company to me, but I am too busy alone. You are the second son of the Yi''s, and it is your duty to manage the company."


    In fact, yi shaozhi didn''t really expect yi chen to do anything about the company, but yi chen was too old to do nothing serious as before. He had long wanted to find an opportunity to change yi chen''s playboy style. Now was the right time.


    Yi chen sat with his shoulders slumped against the table.


    He really didn''t want to be locked up in this big cage in the company, and he had to face so many smiling customers every day, but... If he couldn''t get yi shaozhi''s help, he couldn''t think of any other way.


    After a long time, he finally said, "Okay, I promise you."


    For ye zhiqiao, enter the company, or else find a chance to slip away!


    Mengxing group recently received a big order.


    The president of a well-known foreign clothing brand once attended the competition as a special guest of this "International designer competition." During the competition, he appreciated ye zhiqiao''s design ideas and creativity very much.


    Four months later, his company was going to hold a fashion show to launch the next season''s new clothes, but he had not found a suitable designer before. He saw ye zhiqiao''s design and his eyes lit up. After returning to china to discuss, he decided to negotiate with ye zhiqiao.


    The client''s assistant personally flew to china to discuss with ye zhiqiao in detail.


    "Hello, miss ye. Mr. Scooter has always praised your professionalism, so he attached great importance to this cooperation and specially sent me to deal with related matters with you."


    The assistant was a chinese man who looked in his thirties and was very calm and capable, but he did not make people feel restrained and deliberate.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled politely and said, "Mr. Scooter is flattered. It is our honor to cooperate with your company."


    "Then let''s talk about the details of the cooperation."


    ...


    ...


    After the conversation, ye zhi coincidentally understood the general meaning of the foreign customers.


    The first part of the sample was designed and produced by mengxing group. After they had seen it to their satisfaction, they added the second half of the order.


    Ye zhiqiao signed a temporary agreement with scooter''s assistant on the spot, and then called back Xiao Man, who was on leave.


    This order is very important. If it succeeds, it will be enough to cover half a year''s profit of mengxing group, so we must do our best!


    Ye zhiqiao led a few designers under her, working day and night to design, not only to carefully study and implement the requirements of the other company, but also to personally conduct several investigations abroad, closely understanding the style and characteristics that the other company has been continuing, as well as the popular elements of foreign countries at this time, to fully integrate them into the design.


    After more than 20 days, mengxing group finally completed all the previous orders.


    During the video conference, Mr. Scotty first saw the design of ye zhiqiao''s early spring collection of women''s clothing, and his full cheeks were flushed with laughter.


    The shareholders around him were also amazed by ye zhiqiao''s design.


    Their company has always employed foreign designers, this is the first time to choose a chinese designer, and it is such a young lady.


    At first, they had some objections to Mr. Scooter''s decision, so they proposed to design a part of it first, but now it seemed that they had done more than that.


    During the meeting, the two companies reached an agreement to continue working together and signed a paper contract directly.


    After everything was settled, ye zhiqiao looked at the contract that had just been signed and smiled from ear to ear.


    This is the first time she has established a formal partnership with a foreign company, or such a large number of orders, the future of mengxing group will definitely be immeasurable!


    The order made mengxing group a huge profit, coupled with the media coverage, mengxing group''s stock rose dramatically overnight.


    After ye zhiqiao finished looking at the stock of her own company, she carefully calculated ye''s current market, and then called Xiao Man.


    "You start preparing a few inconspicuous accounts to buy ye''s shares from now on."

 Chapter 84 Additional Conditions of Yi Group

    "Ye''s?"


    Xiao Man obviously couldn''t understand the meaning of ye zhiqiao''s behavior. After thinking for a while, he advised, "President ye, the current momentum of ye''s development is not good, and there is even a downward trend. Why are you... Involved in this mess?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "I understand, but I can''t tell you the reason for this yet. Just do as I say, and you will know in the future."


    Xiao Man walked out, puzzled. Ye zhiqiao put her arm on the desk and propped her chin up, thinking about ye''s condition.


    Although the ye family has been in a slump recently, it will not collapse for a while. It is necessary to take advantage of the current unclear situation to collect some shares and accumulate more. By the time ye guojun responds, the ye family may have no idea whose world it belongs to.


    At this moment, jian mengqi walked in and saw ye zhiqiao looking thoughtful. She asked, "What are you thinking about? I heard you had a big deal recently. What''s wrong? Are you stupid to make money?"


    Ye zhi qiao gave her a look and said, "Just laugh at me!"


    "Hehe." Jian mengqi giggled, took the teacup from her secretary and asked, "What were you thinking just now? Why do you look so cunning?"


    "I... Am thinking of something big."


    After the secretary left, ye zhiqiao explained her thoughts to jian mengqi.


    When jian mengqi heard this, she first exclaimed, "Brilliant!"


    Then he frowned and said, "But, although this is a good idea, it also requires a large amount of money to buy bulk stocks. You just received a big order, and most of the money in hand has to be used to turn around, and you have to leave some spare money. The rest of the money, I don''t think you can buy much bulk stocks, right?"


    Ye zhiqiao sighed and said, "Yes, I am also worried about this. If I can''t get these shares as soon as possible, when ye guojun finds out in the future, I will probably never have a chance."


    "..." Jian mengqi also knew that this was difficult to handle. After thinking for a while, she suggested," otherwise, how about I cooperate with you?


    "Cooperation?"


    "That''s right!" The more jian mengqi thought about it, the more she thought about it.


    "Why don''t we work together to buy ye''s shares and then split them in a normal proportion? Anyway, I don''t need to put my money there, so I might as well invest it! I can trust your ability."


    Although she said so, ye zhiqiao knew in her heart that she wanted to help herself.


    "Thank you, mengqi."


    Jian mengqi said bluntly, "Why are you so polite to me? Just give me more dividends then!"


    "Of course, when I take over the ye family, you will be my biggest shareholder."


    Ye zhiqiao said firmly.


    The business of foreign customers had just come to an end, and the ready-made clothes designed for them were being put into production. Ye zhiqiao wanted to take this opportunity to relax and have a rest, but she did not expect the long-awaited dust.


    The previous order had been busy for more than a month, and ye zhiqiao had long forgotten what yi chen had said before. Now she heard from her secretary that Mr. Yi chen was waiting outside, and then she remembered.


    After such a long time, what did he come to do?


    Ye zhiqiao was thinking about the purpose of yi chen''s visit. She looked up and saw the man who had just entered the door.


    He had seen yi chen twice before, once in a leather jacket and ripped jeans, once in a casual sportswear, with chestnut hair bangs slightly blocking his forehead and a shiny diamond stud in his right ear.


    But today...


    He was dressed in a dark blue suit that was clearly well made, his hair dyed black and combed carefully to the back of his head. All the accessories were taken off with only a high-class man''s watch and a folder in his hand. He walked calmly.


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised by his earth-shaking changes and was so shocked that he couldn''t move his eyes away when he walked in front of ye zhiqiao.


    The folder in her hand flashed in front of her, "Hey! I don''t know you?"


    It was the same as before.


    Ye zhiqiao invited him to sit down, then sat down opposite him and asked, "Mr. Yi is here today..."


    "If you don''t even give me a drink of water, let me get straight to the point?" Yi chen pretended to be dissatisfied.


    Ye zhiqiao had been full of questions about yi chen''s arrival. She just wanted to find out his purpose quickly. When she was interrupted, she realized her impoliteness.


    "I''m sorry, but I''m in a hurry. Have some tea first."


    Yi chen gladly accepted her apology, then picked up the cup on the table, took a look at the green tea inside, wrinkled his nose and put it back.


    "Forget it. I''ll just say it."


    Ye zhi skillfully made a "Please" gesture.


    Yi chen opened the folder in his hand and put it on the table in front of ye zhiqiao. He said, "Our next project wants to cooperate with mengxing group. What do you think?"


    Ye zhiqiao had never seen anyone use such a simple language to seek cooperation, but she probably knew that yi chen had never done such a job before, so she did not care.


    Fortunately, all the information on this document was relatively complete. It was obvious that it was strictly organized by a specialist that he dared to let young master yi take it over alone.


    Ye zhiqiao spent a few minutes browsing through it, which clearly stated Yi''s''s intention to cooperate with mengxing group in the next big project, and made a preliminary budget for the investment.


    Although mengxing group has just completed an international project, this opportunity is indeed rare.


    Yi''s is one of the few big companies in the domestic clothing field. If it can successfully cooperate, then mengxing group will be "Two blossoms" abroad and domestic.


    Ye zhiqiao was in a good mood and said, "I have roughly read your company''s cooperation statement. As far as I am concerned, I am also very interested."


    Yi chen nodded.


    "I don''t know who will be responsible for the cooperation..."


    "Of course it''s me." Yi chen sat upright and said, "The company sent me here to discuss it with you."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him with difficulty and asked, "Can you... Fully represent your company?"


    Yi chen recognized that she did not trust him and said quickly, "Of course, my brother agreed. I will be responsible for the cooperation with mengxing group alone!"


    Ye zhiqiao complained bitterly in her heart and thought to herself, can we talk clearly with this young man?


    But he said, "... In that case, well, I want to get a general idea of your company''s requirements for this project."


    "I don''t need that for now." Yi chen waved his hand.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and then asked, "Then what do you want to talk about first?"


    Yi chen leaned forward, clicked on the document on the table, and said, "Before we talk about this, our company has an additional condition."

 Chapter 85 Between Ye and Young Master Yi

    It is normal for some clients to have special requirements for the project they are working on. Ye zhiqiao was not surprised and asked directly, "What additional conditions? Please say it."


    Yi chen turned his watch around and said, "Actually, what I mentioned to you before is that I want you to design a dress for me to wear at the company''s annual meeting."


    Ye zhiqiao did not expect him to mention this matter again. It was a little funny. She said, "If you have any special requirements for the next cooperation, we will try our best to cooperate, but what you just said... That is a private matter."


    Yi chen nodded, "I know it''s a private matter, but this is the only condition that we are willing to cooperate. Is it so important that the public is private?"


    Indeed, cooperating with the Yi''s is a rare opportunity. Although yi chen''s request gives people the feeling of taking advantage of the fire, it is not difficult to do. On the contrary, it is very easy.


    Yi chen saw the loosening of ye zhi''s coincidental face and chased after her, "And as long as you are willing to help me with this small favor, there are many things that can be discussed in the future on the cooperation between the two companies, including asking our Yi''s to make some profits, which is no problem."


    "Does your brother know that you don''t value his company so much?"


    Ye zhiqiao was very curious about this person''s brain circuit, and for such a trivial reason, even the interests of the family business can be ignored.


    Yi chen smiled and said, "I don''t like to do business in the first place, and I hate to manage the company even more. It''s good to take this opportunity to let him despair of me. I can also be quiet in the future."


    Ye zhiqiao also smiled helplessly, "You really don''t know how lucky you are."


    "Maybe." Yi chen nodded, then said seriously, "Do you agree to this condition?"


    "Yes, of course I will. I''m a money-minded person."


    Ye zhiqiao stood up, stretched out her right hand and said, "Happy cooperation."


    "Happy cooperation." Yi chen held her hand and said loudly.


    After sending yi chen away, ye zhiqiao sat on the sofa for a long time without moving.


    It''s really a good thing to be a partner with Yi''s, but yi chen''s attitude is really unpredictable.


    Ye zhiqiao always thought that the time she accidentally bumped into yi chen was the first time they met, so she really couldn''t understand why yi chen was so interested in her.


    When he was in the hospital, he secretly stuffed her a business card behind gu mohan''s back. He had also found her twice recently, trying his best to get her to make him a dress.


    Alas! Ye zhiqiao couldn''t figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.


    "Mr. Ye, Mr. Yi is here."


    Ye zhiqiao helplessly put down the pen in her hand, frowned, stood up, walked to the couch and sat down, thinking: why is he here again?!


    The secretary saw that ye zhiqiao looked unwilling and asked in a low voice, "How about... I tell him that you are not in the company?"


    Not here? After such a long time to say that she was not there? Yi chen is not a fool.


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Let him in. Go and make some good coffee."


    After the secretary left, ye zhiqiao thought, still can''t shut him out, what if there really is something important to say?


    "Zhiqiao, I saw a beautiful dress recently. Can you help me make it?" Yi chen said as he strode in.


    Well, there must be nothing important!


    Ye zhiqiao sighed and said helplessly, "Mr. Yi, if you have any designs that you particularly like, just buy them directly. Why do you have to let me do them for you? I''m a designer, not a tailor."


    Yi chen took a long step and sat directly opposite ye zhiqiao, smiling, "Actually, I was just casually saying that I still look forward to your design the most."


    "Then you have to give me time, you..."


    At this time, the secretary came in and put a cup of coffee in front of yi chen and a cup of tea in front of ye zhiqiao.


    "President ye, if there''s nothing else, I''ll go out first."


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and motioned for her to go out first.


    When yi chen saw the coffee, he picked it up and took a sip. After tasting it, he said, "Yes, you are quite attentive. The coffee here is getting better and better."


    The secretary had just reached the door when she heard yi chen''s words and looked up in their direction before she pushed the door open and walked out.


    Just as she left, a new assistant came over and said mysteriously, "Sis wang, the second young master of the Yi''s is here again?"


    The secretary nodded and walked towards the office.


    The little assistant hurried up and gossiped, "During this time, young master yi has to report to president ye almost every other day. Do you think the two of them..."


    "Mind your mouth." The secretary glanced at the little girl and said, "You can also talk nonsense about the boss?"


    The little assistant had just arrived, but she was smart enough to do something. She had already figured out the secretary''s temper and was not afraid of her. Instead, she said, "Oh, sister wang, please satisfy my curiosity. Besides, I''m not the only one who''s curious. Who in the whole company doesn''t know that there''s something fishy between ye and that young master yi?"


    The secretary pushed her forward and said, "Xiao Man is not here. You little things are going to go to heaven. If president ye knew that she would not teach you a lesson!"


    After all these years in the company, the secretary had already trained to be an adult. Of course, she wouldn''t tell anyone about her boss. Wouldn''t that be suicide?


    However, although the little assistant was scared away, the rumors about ye zhiqiao and yi chen in the company did not stop. Instead, they became more and more fierce.


    On this day, ye zhiqiao took little treasure to the company to play.


    This was the first time that little treasure came to ye zhiqiao''s company. He looked around and everything was new.


    "Auntie ye, your office is so beautiful. There are so many flowers and plants in it. Unlike dad, it''s not fun in the office except for black and white."


    Gu mohan worked in the same place as he did. It was cold and distant. Little treasure went there a few times at first, but then felt bored and never went back.


    Ye zhiqiao took out the candy that she had left in the drawer a few days ago and smiled, "This is a candy from a colleague. I saw a lot of fruit candy in it. I wanted to bring it back to you, but I forgot about it."


    "Candy?" Little treasure''s eyes brightened, and he held up his two small arms and took out a strawberry-flavored peeled fruit and put it into his mouth. He smashed it and said, "Wow! It''s really delicious."


    Ye zhi pointed at her little nose and smiled, "I knew you would love it."


    The sweet smell of strawberries filled his mouth, and the little boy''s big eyes narrowed with joy.


    Just then, the phone on the table rang.


    Ye zhi coincidentally answered the phone, pulled little treasure to her side and said, "Little treasure, auntie has to go downstairs to do something now. She will be back in about ten minutes. You can eat sweets here yourself and take you to lunch when auntie comes back, okay?"


    "Sure." Little treasure replied crisply.

 Chapter 86 A Bicycle That Came Straight Over

    After ye zhiqiao left, little treasure sat on the sofa and waited for her while eating fruit candy.


    Because grandma li had told her before that it was impolite not to touch other people''s things without their master.


    Just when little treasure couldn''t hold on and wanted to play with the picture frame on ye zhiqiao''s table, a voice suddenly came from the door.


    In ye zhiqiao''s office, there was a tea room for her to use. It was on the left side of the door, about ten square meters.


    The two assistants had just been instructed by the supervisor to fetch some good tea from president ye''s tea room for president ye and his clients.


    The two of them had just seen president ye go downstairs to the meeting room on the ground floor and thought that there must be no one in the office, so they started to gossip while boiling water to make tea.


    "President ye, everything here is of high quality. My father likes to taste tea the most. I have never seen such good tea from him."


    Another sneered and said, "Ye is always someone."


    "Yeah, but I don''t think she likes coffee, does she? Why are there coffee beans?"


    "You don''t know that, do you? President ye drinks the tea himself, and the coffee is for young master yi."


    "Young master yi? Yi''s''s second son yi chen? I''ve heard about them from the company a long time ago. Is that true?"


    "Almost certainly. Master yi has to come over every two days. The two of them have been in the office for a long time. I don''t know what to do!"


    "Aye! Keep your voice down..."


    The two of them made tea and left ye zhiqiao''s office.


    Little treasure sat on the sofa in a daze, completely out of the mind to play with the photo frame.


    "Dad."


    Gu mohan looked at the little fellow who had moved into his study step by step and smiled, "What''s wrong? Didn''t you go to auntie ye''s company to play? Isn''t this fun?"


    Little treasure shook his head and hurriedly explained, "No, no. Aunt ye''s place is beautiful. It''s big and beautiful."


    Gu mohan put down the mouse in his hand, lifted the little treasure in front of him and sat down on his lap.


    "Is it prettier than dad''s?"


    "Dad''s place isn''t pretty at all, okay?"


    Hearing his daughter''s protest in a low voice, gu mohan laughed twice, pinched her ear and asked, "Do you still dislike your father?"


    "Little treasure doesn''t dislike daddy."


    After answering, little treasure looked back at his father''s face. It looked like he was in a good mood. Thinking about what she heard in aunt ye''s office, she thought about it with her little head and felt that she still had to tell her father.


    Otherwise, what if aunt ye was really taken away by that uncle named yi chen?


    "Dad, let me tell you a secret. Don''t be angry, okay?"


    "Hmm?" Gu mohan looked at the little girl in his arms in surprise and asked with a smile, "What secret does little treasure know?"


    Little treasure lowered his head and whispered, "Today, when I was waiting for her in aunt ye''s office, I heard two aunts say... That aunt ye and an uncle named yi chen... Um... What did you say... Anyway, that means that uncle named yi chen seems to be chasing aunt ye."


    "Dad? Did you hear me?" After a long time without hearing gu mohan''s answer, little treasure quickly turned around to take a look.


    Gu mohan sat there expressionless, motionless and speechless, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.


    Little treasure asked in a lower voice than before, "Dad... Did you... Hear what little treasure said?"


    I heard it, I must have heard it, I heard it clearly.


    Because his daughter was present, gu mohan did not show it, but if he were an adult, he would easily see that gu mohan''s eyes were now cold.


    Chasing ye zhiqiao... Yi chen?


    Ye zhiqiao was checking the recent acquisition of ye''s shares in several accounts when she received a call from gu mohan.


    "Hello? What''s wrong?"


    Gu mohan was obviously busy on the other end and spoke a little quickly, "Little treasure is discharged today. Do you have time to pick her up?"


    A few days ago, little treasure was in the hospital for a few days to observe the situation because of regular check-ups. He was going to be discharged at noon today. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao agreed to pick her up together, but now gu mohan should not be free to ask.


    "I have time. Are you busy?"


    "Yeah." Gu mohan agreed, then sighed and said, "There is a problem with the project of a branch company. The whole company is working overtime. I should not be able to leave. Little treasure will have to trouble you to take care of it first."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "It''s okay. You can do your job. I can go by myself. I will definitely send little treasure home safely."


    The two of them did not say a few words, and a few people came to report the situation on gu mohan''s end. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to disturb him, so she quickly hung up the phone.


    At about eleven o'' clock in the afternoon, ye zhiqiao arrived at the hospital on time, helped little treasure pack up his things, and finished the discharge procedures, then took her little hand and walked out.


    Little treasure held out his other hand to show ye zhiqiao and said pitifully, "Auntie ye, look. This morning, the doctor said that I was going to leave the hospital, so he had to give me another shot."


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help laughing. She patted her little hand and said, "That''s obviously to replenish your nutrition. I''m afraid your body won''t be able to absorb the full nutrition from the food now."


    "But it hurts so much." Little treasure mumbled as he blew on the back of his hand.


    Ye zhiqiao squatted down, looked carefully at the needle holes on the back of little treasure''s hand and said, "Uncle doctor said it was little treasure who moved around..."


    "Ah! Aunt ye -"


    With a cry from little treasure, ye zhiqiao turned around and looked behind her.


    A child of eight or nine years old was riding a bicycle and rushed straight in the direction where the two of them were sitting!


    There were less than two or three meters left, but the bicycle did not slow down or turn at all.


    The child in the car stared and opened his mouth wide, obviously frightened.


    Ye zhi happened to have her brain racing in a few seconds.


    Little treasure was right in front of her. If she jumped to both sides to avoid it, the bicycle would definitely hit little treasure directly.


    Before she had time to think, ye zhiqiao picked up little treasure and quickly got up to hide to the side.


    The wheels of the bicycle idled four or five meters ahead, and the child who was riding the bicycle fell to the ground and cried loudly.


    Ye zhiqiao took a closer look at xiao bao''s body before and after he was not injured, then looked at the wound on her right arm and the blood that was oozing out continuously, and turned to walk towards the child on the bicycle.


    Just now, ye zhiqiao hid quickly with little treasure, but before, ye zhiqiao was squatting, so she got up and delayed time. Although she protected little treasure, she was still rubbed by the fast bicycle.


    They were in a place where pedestrians walked and were not allowed to ride.


    The child obviously knew this, and the adults at home might have told him about it, so now that he saw himself bumping into someone, he was afraid but did not dare to run away, so he sat on the ground and cried.

 Chapter 87 As Far Away as Possible

    Ye zhiqiao walked over to the child and squatted down, asking him if there was any pain in his body.


    The child gradually stopped crying and shook his head to say no.


    Seeing this, ye zhi coincidentally pulled him up from the ground, dusted off the dirt on his body, and said softly, "Don''t be afraid, I''m fine with that little sister just now, but next time you can''t ride here anymore, and you have to have adults with you to ride in other places, okay?"


    The child stopped crying. His watery eyes blinked and he nodded, "I see. I''m sorry auntie, I was wrong."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and helped him lift the bicycle, "Auntie, forgive you. Hurry up and push the car to find your parents."


    The child slowly pushed the cart away, and ye zhiqiao walked back to little treasure.


    "Aye! Yi chen, can''t you help me?!"


    Yi chen didn''t even look at his third-tier celebrity girlfriend and said as he walked, "Okay, isn''t that just a wisdom tooth? As for the void?"


    "You! Hey... Wait for me!"


    Yi chen ignored her and continued to walk quickly. He saw an acquaintance not far away.


    Ye zhiqiao also saw him at the same time, took little treasure''s hand, nodded at him and was about to leave.


    "Zhiqiao!" Yi chen chased after him and smiled, "Why are you leaving when you see me? Are you so annoying to me?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said, "No, I came to pick up little treasure today. I have to send her home now."


    At this time, yi chen''s girlfriend also came over and saw a woman she didn''t know in front of her. She asked yi chen, "Who is this?"


    Yi chen was too lazy to answer her. He pointed at the door of the hospital and said, "It''s none of your business. You should go to the dentist first. I''ll come over later."


    His girlfriend was displeased. She gave him a white look and turned to ye zhiqiao, "I''m his girlfriend, artist Xiaorui. You should have seen it on tv, right?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the new face in front of her, smiled politely and said, "Yes. Hello, I''m ye zhiqiao."


    "What coincidence is it? I''ve never heard of it! You..."


    "Hey Zhiqiao, what happened to your hand?" Yi chen interrupted his girlfriend and asked as he looked at ye zhiqiao''s arm.


    It was bleeding and there were several wounds under the blood, which looked shocking.


    Yi chen didn''t know why, but his heart tightened and he looked at the bloodstain.


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at her wound carefully. Although the wound was not deep, the blood had not stopped and had already flowed to the back of her hand.


    "Oh, nothing. I just scratched it. I''ll just go back and apply some medicine."


    With that, ye zhiqiao put her hand behind her back.


    Yi chen''s face was full of disapproval. He reached out and pulled ye zhiqiao''s arm over and rolled up his sleeve.


    "Yichen, what are you doing?!" Xiaorui stomped his feet and asked loudly.


    Ye zhiqiao also felt that this was inappropriate, so she immediately withdrew her hand and said, "I said it''s okay. You''d better take your girlfriend to see a doctor, I..."


    "No." Yi chen interrupted her, "You have a lot of sand and soil on this wound. You must quickly disinfect it, or it will be infected. I will take you to bandage it now."


    Xiaorui saw his boyfriend hanging himself to the side, but he was taking care of another woman. His teeth were itching and his chest was heaving.


    "Isn''t there just some blood?! It''s far from the heart. Is this a big deal?"


    Yi chen glanced at her sideways and scolded, "Shut up!"


    "I..." Xiaorui looked at him in disbelief, then turned to ye zhiqiao and said, "I shut up? You want me to shut up? How could you do this to me for a woman who is inferior to me in every way?!"


    Yi chen focused all his attention on ye zhiqiao''s wound and had no time to deal with her.


    Xiaorui was even more unhappy, pointing directly at ye zhiqiao and asking, "Who are you?! Why is the shelf so big, we have to let yi chen serve you personally. Wouldn''t it be better if he was injured and looked at it himself? Hanging out and swaggering through the market just to make a man feel soft, right?!"


    Ye zhiqiao frowned when she heard this, but she still didn''t have the common sense with her.


    Yi chen was angry. He stood up straight and pushed xiao rui aside. He said loudly, "Can you speak human language?! If you know how to speak, just say a few words. If you don''t, shut up as soon as possible!"


    "Yichen, what''s wrong with you? Do you know who your girlfriend is?"


    "Girlfriend? If you don''t like it, do you think this young master still has to beg you?!"


    Xiaorui refused to give in and roared, "What do you mean? Are you breaking up?"


    "Yes! It was a breakup! This young master has long wanted to break up. Get as far away as you can!!"


    After that, yi chen turned around and continued to look at ye zhiqiao''s wound.


    Xiaorui was in shock and did not speak for a long time.


    She never expected that yi chen would break up so casually. Since she entered the industry, she has been in a tepid state, barely considered a third-tier star, and finally climbed up to yi chen, not getting any benefits before she was broken up?


    "Yi chen... Yi chen... I didn''t mean that just now, I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, yi chen had already taken ye zhiqiao to the door of the hospital, completely ignoring her existence.


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at the woman who was still standing there and said to yi chen, "I really can go by myself. You should go and see your girlfriend."


    "She''s not my girlfriend anymore. Don''t worry about her." Yi chen never looked back at the woman.


    Ye zhiqiao could not interfere too much with other people''s private affairs, so she followed him into the consulting room.


    While waiting, ye zhiqiao was afraid that xiao bao would have stomach problems if he didn''t eat lunch, so she called the driver at home and asked him to come over and pick him up first.


    Half a day after little treasure left, the patient in front of ye zhiqiao finished dressing, and the nurse came to ye zhiqiao with a tray.


    The nurse placed ye zhiqiao''s arm on the treatment table, carefully observed the wound, and then said, "Your forearm is scratched, the wound is not deep, just apply some medicine to bandage it, but it will hurt a little when you disinfect it. Bear with it."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and agreed, but the moment the saline touched the wound, she could not help but frown and snort.


    Yi chen saw it and quickly said to the nurse, "Nurse, be gentle."


    The nurse smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with how light I am. Pain is a natural phenomenon - okay."


    After the disinfection, the little nurse put medicine on ye zhiqiao, wrapped the gauze, and reminded her to come back in three days to change the medicine again.


    Ye zhiqiao answered with a smile and followed yi chen out of the consulting room.

 Chapter 88 The Little Boy Was Really Brave

    After leaving the hospital, ye zhiqiao said goodbye to yi chen.


    Yi chen smiled and said, "If you cross the river, you will tear down the bridge. Don''t you want to show me that I will accompany you to see a doctor?"


    Ye zhi happened to look at the gauze on her arm.


    When he paid the treatment fee just now, yi chen would never let ye zhiqiao spend money. Ye zhiqiao had no choice but to let him go, and now he could return the favor.


    "Okay, how do I express it? Can I treat you to dinner?"


    Yi chen touched his stomach and said, "That''s what I meant. I haven''t eaten breakfast. I''m starving to death."


    Ye zhiqiao walked to the side of the car and opened the door, saying, "Get in the car. Think about where to eat first."


    "Anywhere." Yi chen sat in the passenger seat, leaned back in his chair and said, "Walk and look. Just find a place."


    Ye zhiqiao remembered that there seemed to be several restaurants on the main street behind the hospital, and they were not low grade, so she drove directly over.


    Five minutes later, ye zhiqiao''s car stopped in front of a beautifully decorated chinese restaurant.


    The two of them walked into the restaurant one after the other. The waiter came over and asked where they wanted to sit.


    Yi chen raised his chin and said, "Sit by the window. You have a good view."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded in agreement and asked the waiter, "Do you have a single room by the window?"


    It was 12: 00 noon, it was lunchtime, and the noise in the restaurant was so loud that it really affected your appetite.


    "I''m sorry, miss. The single room is full. Why don''t you go upstairs and sit down? It''s also near the window, and there aren''t many guests. It''ll be quieter."


    Ye zhiqiao and yi chen followed the waiter upstairs. Sure enough, there were only a few tables on top.


    Yi chen took the lead and sat down at a table by the window. Ye zhiqiao also walked over.


    But as she passed a table of guests, her footsteps suddenly stopped.


    "President wang, try this dish. It''s a specialty of the chefs here. Everyone must order it when they enter the restaurant!"


    The man who was addressed as president wang chuckled and said, "Zixuan, I like people who come from your seed."


    Bai zixuan stood up to refill the wine for president wang and said with a smile, "I should have done this. I will still point to you to bring up some cultivation in the future."


    President wang laughed and his stomach trembled as he said, "I''ve read all your contracts. They''re pretty good in general, but one or two of them really need to be considered carefully. After all, you''re young, and you still have a lot to learn."


    "What you said is, what you said is, come on, you eat first..."


    Today, bai zixuan invited this person to be his company''s next big client who wanted to cooperate with him. If this business could be concluded, he would be able to eat and drink for the next few years.


    In fact, his contract was already prepared, and the terms were changed and changed, but this president wang never let go.


    Bai zixuan had no choice but to endure the pain and spend a lot of money to honor him, and arranged for today''s meal. After dinner, he would also take him to "Play" and hope that this time he could sign smoothly.


    President wang ate a mouthful of food and took a sip of wine. "I know you must be scolding me in your heart, thinking that I was deliberately making things difficult for you." But you really misunderstood me!"


    "No, no, how can I..."


    President wang waved his hand to signal him to listen to himself and continue, "You''re too young to know what''s going on here. In fact, with my company, signing this contract with you is like playing a game, but I can''t do that!"


    He took another bite of the food and said, "Why? Because I have to be responsible for your company. It''s not easy for you to support a company. You can''t risk it just because you want money. In that case - ugh!"


    President wang burped, forgetting everything he had just said.


    "I understand. I understand president wang''s kindness to me." Bai zixuan quickly answered.


    "Yes, that''s very sensible." President wang was relieved.


    Ye zhi happened to see bai zixuan fawning on the man in front of her from a distance and felt disgusted.


    When did bai zixuan, who used to be a gentlemanly and thoughtful man in her heart, become like this? After being with ye yiyu? Or was he like this from the start?


    Heh!


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and walked past the two of them, saying sarcastically, "You really know things!"


    Bai zixuan, who was refilling the wine for president wang, was interrupted by this familiar voice. He turned around subconsciously and saw ye zhiqiao walking past him.


    Ye zhiqiao?!


    So what I just said... Was she mocking me?


    This woman!


    "Stop!" Bai zixuan shouted and got up and grabbed ye zhiqiao''s wrist.


    Ye zhiqiao turned around and smiled, "What are you doing? Do you want to treat me to dinner? I really don''t know what the chef''s specialty is here."


    Bai zixuan narrowed his eyes. He had just flattered president wang. The woman in front of him clearly meant to humiliate him on purpose!


    Bai zixuan was enraged and his eyes were red. He raised his hand and waved it at ye zhiqiao''s face.


    A few seconds later, bai zixuan stared at the man who suddenly appeared opposite him.


    Yi chen shook off his hand and said in a deep voice, "A big man is beating a woman in public. Do you want to be shameless?"


    Bai zixuan looked at ye zhiqiao and shouted at the man in front of him, "Who are you?! What does it matter to you whether I hit someone or not?! I tell you, mind your own business!"


    "I don''t care if you hit someone else." Yi chen raised his chin to point at ye zhiqiao and said, "But if you hit her, it''s my business. I warn you, don''t touch her again. Next time, I''ll cripple you."


    Bai zixuan suddenly tilted his mouth and smiled, saying, "Cripple me? What can you do to me, huh? Tell me what you want me to hear and see if you can scare me to death?"


    Yi chen looked at bai zixuan''s client sitting in his seat and sneered, "I think you''re talking about business. How about I help you so that you won''t have a chance to talk about business again?"


    Bai zixuan burst into laughter and covered his stomach with a smile, "You''re such an eloquent mother!"


    Then he said to ye zhiqiao, "Not bad, not bad. This pretty boy you''re looking for is really brave..."


    While bai zixuan was laughing out of breath, president wang, who had been sitting by the side watching the battle, stood up and took two steps to yi chen.


    "Are you young master yi?"


    Yi chen had only recently begun to appear in the business world, so many people did not know him. It happened that president wang met him once at the last dinner.


    When yi chen walked over just now, president wang was not sure whether it was him or not. He finally confirmed it after hearing what he said to make bai zixuan unable to negotiate any more business.

 Chapter 89 The Pretty Boy Is Young Master Yi!

    Only then did yi chen notice the man who had been sitting still. He looked at him carefully and found his face familiar, but he couldn''t remember it for a moment.


    President wang''s eyes were sharp. Seeing that yi chen didn''t remember him, he introduced himself, "Young master yi forgets too much. My surname is wang. We met once at the dinner of the cooperation between the two families. It was your brother at that time. Young master yi introduced us to each other. Do you... Remember?"


    "Oh, president wang." After his reminder, yi chen probably remembered and said politely, "Of course I remember you. Last time, my brother specially told me that you have been in business for many years and have a lot of experience. I want me to learn more from you."


    "I don''t dare, I don''t dare... Young master yi''s family is the real business tycoon. I just lived a few more years, but I don''t dare to rely on my elders in front of young master yi!"


    President wang remembered that yi chen seemed to have come for dinner just now. He looked around, chose a clean table, made a "Please" gesture and said, "Young master yi hasn''t eaten yet. If you don''t mind, just give me a chance to treat you to dinner. How about... Making friends?"


    Yi chen didn''t like the set in the mall, but the other party''s attitude was so low that he couldn''t refuse directly, so he looked back at ye zhiqiao and wanted to ask her what she meant.


    President wang just saw that yi chen had been protecting the woman beside him, and now he had to see if she wanted to eat. He expected that their relationship would be different.


    Although that woman had said something to provoke bai zixuan, what was the point? As long as yi chen likes it!


    After a few turns of thought, president wang no longer focused on yi chen and turned to look at the woman beside him.


    "Miss, you should be tired after standing here for so long, and you were frightened just now. You should sit down quickly and have a cup of hot tea to rest."


    President wang used this sentence very well when he reached out to stop smiling.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "Then I''ll disturb you."


    "Hey, it''s my pleasure not to disturb you, hahaha."


    President wang hurriedly called for the waiter to refill the tea, ordered a new table of good dishes, and sat down with yi chen and ye zhiqiao.


    Bai zixuan had been standing in a daze ever since he saw president wang smiling at the "Little boy," but he had not said a word because of his surprise.


    The other three had already sat across from each other and started eating and chatting. The big client they had just fawned on was bowing to please the "Pretty boy" they had just insulted.


    Bai zixuan did not stand, nor did he sit, nor did he walk.


    That "Pretty boy" ... No, that yi chen is obviously a big shot. I have offended him just now, but I am afraid that if I don''t hurry up and save it, the big list that I have worked so hard for so many days and spent so much money will really be ruined!


    Just as he was thinking about it, president wang''s voice suddenly rose.


    "Ouch! Look at me, my clumsy eyes. I can''t believe I didn''t recognize you as the famous''mengxing''!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled modestly and said, "I''m not that powerful. It''s just the result of the company''s publicity."


    "Well, you can''t say that. You''re really capable. I''ve heard that miss ye''s design is excellent. I didn''t expect that I was so beautiful. It''s better to see it than to hear it!" President wang continued to flatter.


    Bai zixuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that things were not good.


    Sure enough, the next second, president wang continued, "I don''t know if miss ye has time recently. Our company is planning a big project recently. The chief designer has not been confirmed yet. If miss ye is convenient, that would be great."


    Working with ye zhiqiao?!


    Bai zixuan''s brain exploded.


    If president wang cooperates with ye zhiqiao, with president wang''s attitude, his project will be ruined!


    No way! Never let a duck fly like that!


    Bai zixuan looked at yi chen, who was sitting at the side, smiling at ye zhiqiao and president wang. He thought to himself, "If you can''t bear it, you will make a big mistake. It seems that you have to lower your head today."


    Yi chen finished sipping a cup of tea. As soon as he put it on the table, a hand reached out to refill the cup. He looked up subconsciously, and his eyes were filled with a fawning smile.


    Bai zixuan put down the white porcelain teapot, pushed the teacup forward and said in a low voice, "Young master yi, I didn''t know about mount tai just now. I''m really sorry for offending you."


    Yi chen sneered and said, "It doesn''t matter. I just said it without thinking."


    "No, no, no -" bai zixuan quickly smiled and said, "Young master yi, please don''t say that..."


    Yi chen waved his hand and interrupted him. He looked at ye zhiqiao and said, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t offend me. I''m too lazy to argue with you about such a small matter, but you offended her - but you can''t."


    Knowing who he was referring to, bai zixuan quickly said, "I apologize to miss ye now. I apologize. I..."


    "Ha!" Yi chen smiled helplessly and said, "I don''t think she needs your apology. I don''t need it. So, you should save it."


    As if struck by lightning, bai zixuan rested his hands on his trouser line and tapped his fingers irregularly.


    It''s over.


    Bai zixuan thought to himself, he did not intend to give himself a chance at all. He could not save it no matter what he said or did. What could he do?


    Gu mohan was still not finished with his work. He was worried about ye zhiqiao and xiao bao, so he called home during lunch.


    Aunt Li said that half an hour ago, ye zhiqiao called the driver at home to send xiao bao back. She and her friends were still outside.


    Hanging up the phone, gu mohan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, but his mind could not stop for a moment.


    Just now, little treasure said on the phone that the friend with ye zhiqiao was yi chen.


    Ye zhiqiao''s "Rumored boyfriend" in mengxing group?


    Gu mohan sat up at once. The more he thought about it, the more worried he was about letting ye zhiqiao stay alone with yi chen. However, he couldn''t get away from it, so he had to call Qin Baiye.


    Qin Baiye was very surprised to receive gu mohan''s call and asked, "Why don''t you go by yourself if you want to pick her up?"


    Gu mohan flipped through the information on the table and searched the computer before answering, "There''s something wrong with the company. I can''t leave."


    "Well, where is she now?"


    "I don''t know. Call and ask yourself."


    "I-" Qin Baiye was going crazy, "You asked me to pick her up, and I had to ask myself where she was. I... Do I look so free?!"


    Gu mohan took the phone off his ear and finally said, "That''s it."

 Chapter 90 Ye Zhiqiaos Messy and Dirty Private Life

    Qin Baiye sat on the bed and sighed in despair, then dialed ye zhiqiao''s phone with a bitter face.


    Although ye zhiqiao was surprised, she still told him where she was.


    Qin Baiye slowed down and looked for the name of the restaurant that ye zhiqiao mentioned on the phone in the middle of a row of restaurants. It was past one o'' clock in the afternoon. The diners had already left after dinner. There was a large space in front of the restaurant door. After Qin Baiye found the place, he parked his car directly at the entrance of the restaurant.


    Pushing the door open, the waiter came up and asked with a smile, "Sir, how many of you?"


    Qin Baiye shook his head, looked around at the few guests, and then asked, "Do you have a pretty woman here for dinner? Hmm... My hair is dark green."


    If it was a good-looking woman, the waiter had seen too many of them in a day and couldn''t remember them for a moment, but if it was dark green hair, it would be very impressive.


    "That lady is eating upstairs. Sir, please follow me."


    Qin Baiye followed the waiter upstairs. Just after turning the corner, she saw ye zhiqiao with her back to herself. There was a man sitting opposite her and beside her.


    Qin Baiye walked over, feeling more and more wrong as he got closer.


    The man sitting next to ye zhiqiao seemed... To be yichen.


    Ye zhiqiao noticed the movement behind her and knew that Qin Baiye was coming to pick her up, so she stood up and said, "Sorry, I still have something to do. I have to go first."


    With that, ye zhiqiao turned and walked towards Qin Baiye.


    But Qin Baiye went straight past her and went to yi chen''s table instead.


    "Qin Baiye?" Ye zhiqiao asked doubtfully.


    "Wait a minute." Qin Baiye turned to her and said.


    Then, he looked at yi chen and said, "Yi chen, why are you with ye zhiqiao?"


    Yi chen smiled and replied, "We are friends. Isn''t it normal for friends to eat and play together?"


    Instead of smiling, Qin Baiye warned with a straight face, "Then I hope you two won''t be friends again, let alone meet again."


    He moved closer and whispered, "In the future, don''t have any contact with ye zhiqiao."


    Yi chen did not answer him, but shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression.


    Qin Baiye took ye zhiqiao back to the car, started the car and suddenly stopped.


    Turning around, she said to ye zhiqiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat belt, "Ye zhiqiao, don''t touch yi chen anymore."


    "Why?" Ye zhiqiao asked subconsciously.


    She had felt strange from the beginning. Although Qin Baiye was also a rich man and usually looked down on no one, she had never seen him speak to anyone so harshly.


    Ye zhiqiao did not understand whether yi chen and she were friends or not. How could Qin Baiye care so much?


    "Don''t ask me that. Just do as I say. It must be for your own good."


    With that, Qin Baiye stepped on the accelerator and the car ran out of its original position.


    Ye zhiqiao had no chance to ask any more questions, so she kept them in her stomach.


    But she did not know that her thoughtfulness had completely changed in the eyes of others.


    Bai zixuan had been standing by the window just now. When Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao returned to the car, the conversation between the two fell into his eyes.


    He smiled in his heart and said, "Ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao, how dare you pretend to be a white lotus in front of me and lie to me that what happened five years ago was an accident?" Tearfully saying that she was a victim too? Bah! Bitch!


    After ye zhiqiao left, yi chen and president wang also left one after another. Now that only bai zixuan was left on the second floor, he simply sat down beside her and quietly pondered about ye zhiqiao''s matter.


    Five years ago, rumors about ye zhiqiao and gu mohan spread all over the internet, saying that gu Mohan had helped ye zhiqiao time and time again, and even handed over the newly acquired company to ye zhiqiao. Something must have happened between the two of them.


    Bai zixuan deeply understood this matter. As early as the last time he ate at the ye family, gu mohan''s intention to protect ye zhiqiao was no longer covered up. It was strange that there was nothing between the two of them!


    Then came the sudden appearance of yi chen today.


    After yi chen left just now, bai zixuan specially checked this person on the internet. He is indeed the second young master of the Yi''s.


    I didn''t expect that ye zhiqiao''s ability was really not small. One gu mohan was not enough, and he got such a rich young master.


    Just now, yi chen ruined his business because of ye zhiqiao, and when they were eating, yi chen was taking care of the wound on her arm and taking care of her food.


    And Qin Baiye.


    As far as bai zixuan knew, Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi were friends. They used to see that Qin Baiye and jian mengqi had a good relationship, but in the end, they were still taken down by ye zhiqiao!


    The two words he said to yi chen just now, the meaning of the warning, not all fools can hear it.


    After taking ye zhiqiao to the car, Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao talked for a long time, and then ye zhiqiao showed that kind of aggrieved expression.


    Hmph!


    Bai zixuan took a big sip of tea and chuckled. It must be ye zhiqiao who went on a date with yi chen behind Qin Baiye''s back. She accidentally let Qin Baiye find out about it, and then the man with the green hat flew into a rage!


    He gave ye zhiqiao face in front of others, but he didn''t know how to deal with her after he went back!


    Thinking of this, bai zixuan was happy and angry. He was glad that ye zhiqiao had finally revealed a flaw, but he was angry that ye zhiqiao was such a dissolute woman!


    She hovered among the three men with that fox-like face.


    Perhaps this was the case with ye zhiqiao five years ago, but she pretended to be innocent and lied to her feelings, and finally went to bed with another man and shamelessly wanted to give birth to another man''s child.


    The last time I went to her to plead for ye yiyu, she even pretended to be wronged and chased herself out of the door. Even just now, she even ridiculed herself...


    The more bai zixuan thought about it, the more he hated it. He held the porcelain cup tightly in his hand, his eyes shooting out a fierce light, and whispered, "Ye zhiqiao, I want to show your true face to everyone, so that everyone knows that you are a fickle woman who can only rely on a man to ascend the rank of a bitch!"


    "When the time comes, will the men who like you be willing to be your stepping stones?"


    Bai zixuan took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar reporter friend.


    "I have a message for you. Are you interested?"


    The reporter was not a professional media reporter. He usually worked for a living by following up and revealing other people''s privacy. He would do whatever he could to attract publicity and make money. When he heard bai zixuan''s words, he smiled obscenely and said, "Let''s see how big the news is."


    "A while ago, ye zhiqiao was famous for her messy private life because of the international designer competition. Is that big news?"


    Bai zixuan looked at the leftovers on the table in front of him and said slowly.

 Chapter 91 The Three Men Behind Ye Zhiqiao

    The next day, a report titled "The three men behind the famous designer'' wake up''" became a hot topic on the internet, occupying the front page of the news in various major industries.


    In the report, the identity and background of the three men were all blurry, and only focused on the description of ye zhiqiao hovering among the three men, and with the success of the three men to ascend the throne, she gradually became a design rookie that attracted the attention of thousands of people.


    People''s curiosity is strong, and it is easy to speculate about the unknown.


    Previously, ye zhiqiao proved herself through the competition, so that everyone''s misunderstanding of her was largely eliminated, but more people did not see ye zhiqiao''s creation with their own eyes. The suspicion in their hearts only became small with the public opinion, and was inadvertently hidden, but it did not completely disappear.


    This report was like the first drop of rain in the dark sky. After it fell, the rest of the rain followed, gushing out without any reservation. The previous calm was just the last calm before the storm.


    They had been there for a long time, dormant, waiting for a signal to start, and then a disaster.


    Netizens dug out the "Suspicious points" on ye zhiqiao one after another.


    For example, why did the "Wake up from a dream" that had emerged abroad suddenly return to china?


    Was it just for the sake of returning home to develop, or was it because they could no longer pretend to be abroad?


    For example, the original Dong shi, the reason why it collapsed was because it was unable to support or because ye zhiqiao deliberately designed it? Why did gu''s acquisition of Dong shi end up in ye zhiqiao''s hands?


    For example, ye zhiqiao''s sister ye yiyu, when ye zhiqiao pointed out that ye yiyu had plagiarized, ye yiyu''s works had already been copyrighted. Although they lost the lawsuit in the end, no one knew whether ye zhiqiao had tampered with them.


    ...


    There were more and more negative news and speculations about ye zhiqiao. Those who didn''t like her, and those who were designers together, but had been standing in the shadow behind ye zhiqiao finally couldn''t hold back.


    Ye zhiqiao''s "Dirty" was no longer as simple as relying on three men to ascend the throne.


    They linked what they had seen, or imagined, ye zhiqiao in private with the report, forming one true and complete story after another, and telling it to one person after another.


    People only believe what they want to believe, and they are more willing to believe those strange, twisted, seemingly contrasting things.


    Of course, they could believe it, or they could discuss or make any comments, because it was already normal, everyone was doing it, and no one needed to be responsible for their own words, as long as they made sure that they were happy enough to say it.


    Ye zhi coincidentally fell down from the altar, from the original glittering starlight that thousands of people looked at to the low and dirty gravel.


    Three days later, the reception.


    Ye zhiqiao had been surrounded by accusations and abuse for the past few days. Although she had a good attitude to persuade herself that even the turbulent rumors would gradually subside one day, she still felt aggrieved and depressed. She always buried herself in the office or stayed at home with little treasure.


    But today''s cocktail party couldn''t be canceled. It was organized by a leading figure in the design world. All the prominent figures in the industry would be there. The rest of them wanted to come in even if they were pushed through their heads. When ye zhiqiao received the invitation, it was no longer easy to refuse.


    She didn''t expect to see a face she didn''t want to see just as she entered.


    Ye zhiqiao took a glass of wine from the waiter, walked to a corner and sat down, hoping to avoid the man''s eyes.


    To his surprise, bai zixuan had seen her from the beginning and was now striding towards her direction.


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously frowned.


    Bai zixuan saw it, but he did not stop.


    He really hated and disgusted ye zhiqiao''s behavior, but after all, ye zhiqiao had such a big backer behind her. He wanted to take another step towards the upper class, and it was the best way to ask her for help.


    Bai zixuan took a piece of cake from the long table and handed it to ye zhiqiao, "Look, you''ve been sitting here since the beginning. You haven''t eaten yet. Try this cake. It''s not bad."


    Ye zhi took a quick glance and turned her head to one side.


    Being ignored, bai zixuan was not angry. He put the plate on the table in front of her and said, "Drink less wine. You are a woman. It''s not good to drink those things."


    "Ha!" Ye zhiqiao sneered and asked, "Can you manage it?"


    Bai zixuan raised his hands, made a "Surrender," and said, "Of course I don''t care, but your boyfriend..."


    At this point, he paused for a moment and then continued in a questioning tone, "Yi chen?"


    Ye zhiqiao glared at him.


    "He must be worried about you. I''ll do him a favor and take care of you."


    "That''s disgusting."


    Ye zhi coincidentally knew that bai zixuan had wanted to curry favor with yi chen since he knew his identity last time, but she didn''t expect him to be so shameless that he actually came to curry favor with her!


    "Let me tell you, I have nothing to do with yi chen. You don''t have to get close to me here. I can''t help you. All your dirty thoughts are only on yourself. Don''t take them out and disgust others."


    After that, ye zhi coincidentally got up and left her seat.


    Before bai zixuan could speak, an enchanting female voice sounded in front of him.


    "Miss ye still has the face to say that others are filthy?"


    He looked up and saw that his female companion, hu yang, was standing in front of ye zhiqiao with an arrogant look.


    Hu yang was just chatting with bai zixuan, but when bai zixuan saw a woman, he told her and walked straight towards her.


    At first, hu yang didn''t know the relationship between the two, so he stood aside and watched quietly. Later, he realized that the woman was the infamous ye zhiqiao during this period of time. And this kind of woman actually sneered at bai zixuan!


    She despised this kind of woman who sold her position, so she came over to denounce her.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know the woman in front of her. Although she blocked her way and said those words with obvious malice, she still maintained the basic courtesy and said, "Miss, please step aside."


    Hu yang raised his chin and sneered, "I won''t let you, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao turned and walked in another direction, while hu yang stepped in front of her.


    "Don''t go. Aren''t you very good? Shouldn''t I be scolded or slapped to relieve my anger when I meet someone so ignorant? There are so many backers behind you anyway, so the man is lying on the ground waiting for you to step on him!"


    She used a loud voice to say this last sentence, and almost everyone present could hear it.


    The whole party quieted down, and a few seconds later, whispers began to ring out.

 Chapter 92 One Wave After Another

    Although everyone was whispering, everyone knew what they were talking about. It was nothing but negative news about ye zhiqiao for two days.


    Ye zhiqiao was originally worried about the malicious insults in the news, but now she stood in front of everyone, as if she had been stripped of her clothes, and she looked at them wantonly. Her heart was full of grievances and anger, and her face could not help but sink.


    Hu yang looked at her expression and thought that she had been stabbed to a painful spot by herself. Only when she was dissatisfied and had nothing to do did did did her face change, did she speak of her scandal even more recklessly.


    "You don''t have to be embarrassed. Anyway, your scandals are no longer a secret. The people present... Or who in the circle doesn''t know? You can now undo your disguise as much as you want. Even if you do something disgusting, I don''t think anyone will find it strange."


    "Miss, it''s the first time we''ve met in a few days. Why did you slander me like this?"


    Hu yang blinked innocently and said, "I can''t help it. I''m a straightforward person. I can''t stand others doing those shameless things and pretending to be aloof."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at her, her lips turning white with anger, and she suddenly felt the cool air coming from behind her.


    Like a gust of wind, the tall figure quickly walked between ye zhiqiao and hu yang and slapped the delicate and lovable face of hu yang without hesitation!


    There were gasps of air in the hall, and everyone looked at the man who suddenly appeared, including ye zhiqiao, in shock.


    Hu yang was knocked out of his head, his left side of his face was numb, and his ears were buzzing.


    With a confused tinnitus, she heard the man opposite her opening and closing his lips, making a cold sound.


    "You - and everyone present, listen carefully. The article you saw was a deliberate slander against ye zhiqiao. The last time she met yi chen was just an accident. Qin Baiye, who arrived later, was sent by me personally. The person who published that report had been planning for a long time. I hope everyone will bring their most basic judgment and not be used by anyone with ulterior motives!"


    With that said, gu mohan lowered his head slightly and said softly to the terrified hu yang, "I didn''t exert any force just now. I hope you have a long memory. Do you understand?"


    Hu yang was not sure how to react when another male voice suddenly cut in.


    Just now, yi chen was upstairs listening to yi shaozhi introduce him to several distinguished elders in the business world. When he heard that there was some chaos downstairs, he excused himself and went out to take a look.


    He happened to see ye zhiqiao standing in the middle of the hall, embarrassed by a woman he didn''t know. He walked downstairs, but halfway down the stairs, gu mohan had already arrived.


    He was one step behind.


    Yi chen walked over to hu yang and pulled her arm to face him. He looked at the palm print on her face and said to himself, "I wonder if I can remember this slap for a long time."


    Hu yang did not understand what he meant and looked at him in a daze.


    Yi chen bent down to get closer and whispered, "You must control your troublesome mouth in the future. If you continue to talk like today, I don''t mind letting you have a long memory. You know, I don''t like gu mohan to be lenient and fall into my hands..."


    He leaned against her ear and said with a smile, "You, it''s, it''s over."


    The venue was originally warm and air-conditioned, but his words made people feel chilly.


    Hu yang shrank his shoulders. Although yi chen spoke with a smile, his voice pierced his ears like a cold viper.


    Yi chen ignored her reaction and turned around to walk back to ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan subconsciously frowned.


    This misunderstanding was finally explained, because under gu mohan''s powerful aura, no one dared not believe it. They did not want to touch stones with eggs and offend this powerful character.


    In addition, yi chen also came out to speak for ye zhiqiao just now. If ye zhiqiao was really among the three men as the report said, then these two people must hate ye zhiqiao too late, how could they still help her?


    Even so, someone whispered, "I see, even if what gu mohan said is true, then there must be something between ye zhiqiao and these two people."


    Another person replied, "I think so too. Just now, gu mohan and yi chen clearly protected ye zhiqiao more. If it''s okay, I don''t believe it!"


    Another person joined the discussion, "Maybe master gu and master yi are fighting for ye zhiqiao together? I saw it just now. After yi chen came over, gu mohan''s face didn''t look better. It must have been two people fighting over ye zhiqiao!"


    The words of these people all fell into ye zhiqiao''s ears. She was first surprised at the holes in their brains, then sighed helplessly, thinking, it is really not even up again!


    I don''t know where I did it wrong, how could it be misunderstood?


    Just then, she felt someone tugging at her arm.


    Ye zhiqiao turned around and saw jian mengqi looking at her worriedly.


    Jian mengqi was delayed today, so she came late. Just now, she caught a waiter and asked him what had happened here. She was worried that ye zhiqiao was not feeling well, so she hurried over to check on her situation.


    Ye zhiqiao was annoyed by the growing voices around her. She stood there awkwardly and helplessly. When she saw jian mengqi coming, she took her hand and took her away from the scene.


    It was not easy to slip to the door, avoiding the curious eyes of the crowd.


    Ye zhiqiao''s car was sent for maintenance, so she didn''t drive when she arrived. Just as she was about to reach out to stop a taxi, she was stopped by jian mengqi.


    Jian mengqi shook the phone in her hand and said, "I''ll call Qin Baiye and ask him to come and pick us up."


    Anyway, the misunderstanding was cleared up just now. Ye zhiqiao had no opinion and agreed.


    Jian mengqi dialed the phone, and Qin Baiye picked it up quickly.


    "What''s wrong, miss jane?" From the sound of his voice, he sounded in a good mood.


    Jian mengqi looked at the name of the hotel, told Qin Baiye, and then said, "Do you have time to come over? Neither zhiqiao nor I drove."


    Qin Baiye didn''t even think about it and answered directly, "No problem. Wait for me there. I''ll be there in ten minutes."


    Ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi stood at the entrance of the hotel and waited quietly. They did not notice that in a van beside them, a pair of eyes were staring in their direction.

 Chapter 93 Ye Zhiqiao Was Involved in a Female Stars Relationship

    As expected, Qin Baiye would arrive soon.


    Jian mengqi opened the door and sat in, then ye zhiqiao followed her into the car.


    After Qin Baiye drove away, he stopped on the other side of the hotel and a small man emerged from an inconspicuous silver van.


    He held a small slr camera in his hand and snapped it at the back of Qin Baiye''s dusty car. Then he smirked and took a picture of his precious camera. He said to himself, "The picture of ye zhiqiao getting in the car just now and the picture of Qin Baiye''s license plate were taken. This thing must be worth a lot of money to sell!"


    In the car, jian mengqi asked ye zhiqiao again if she was okay.


    Ye zhiqiao repeatedly said that she was fine, and then began to talk about the wine party: "The woman named hu yang just now did not know why she attacked me, as if it was because of bai zixuan? I think bai zixuan had been talking to her before."


    "These people are really like the clouds. They don''t have brains. They believe whatever they say. They said I was a genius designer back then. I didn''t expect that a random piece of news would turn them against each other."


    These days, ye zhiqiao''s mood was depressed, and no one could say that what happened at the reception just now was like a fuse, which made her want to release the emotions that had been accumulated in her heart these days.


    Jian mengqi knew that ye zhiqiao was upset, but she didn''t know how to comfort her. She felt as if nothing she said could do anything, so she lowered her head and didn''t say a word.


    Qin Baiye was driving and couldn''t be distracted. He was also mentioned in the report, which made his relationship with ye zhiqiao black. To avoid embarrassment, he didn''t speak.


    Ye zhiqiao did not notice their attitude and continued, "Gu mohan cleared things up when he came. Those people believed him, but then they said that gu mohan and yi chen were fighting for me. Don''t you think they are ridiculous? Do they have nothing to do every day? Do they have to think about other people''s privacy to live a fulfilling life?"


    "And bai zixuan, he actually thought that after I had something to do with yi chen, he still wanted to come back..."


    The white limousine flashed by in the night, and the colorful neon lights shone brightly on the body.


    The sound in the car kept on, one person talking, two people listening, until the car gradually drove away, melting into the endless night.


    The next day, Xiaorui got up early to make up. She was shooting an advertisement today.


    Ever since yi chen broke up with her, she had not had a job for a long time. Today''s advertisement was a small product advertisement that her agent had signed up to grandpa and grandma after a long time.


    I didn''t expect to see a short and thin man waiting at the door as soon as I went out.


    "Who are you?" She asked subconsciously. She didn''t think she was so famous that fans came to her door.


    The man smiled and said, "I''m a paparazzi."


    Xiaorui almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears. He frowned and smiled, "Are paparazzi so aboveboard now?"


    The man did not answer. He took out a stack of photos from his bag and waved them around, "Are you not on good terms with ye zhiqiao? I have her'' important'' photo here. Do you want it?"


    "How do you know that we..."


    The man sneered and said, "What did I do? Have you forgotten? Don''t say it''s useless, just say buy it or not?"


    "Buy it!"


    Of course I did. As long as it was something that could fix ye zhiqiao, she was willing to buy it at any cost.


    If it wasn''t for that bitch ye zhiqiao, how could she have been abandoned by yi chen? How could she, who could have become a big shot, have fallen to this stage?!


    Xiaorui had a discussion with his manager and decided to release some small messages. Photos were the trump card, and they were kept for later use.


    That day, a report titled "Selling for money, ye zhiqiao intervened in the female star''s relationship" became a hot topic, and the number of hits increased rapidly.


    The previous report by bai zixuan only caused a sensation in the design industry, and most of the people who knew about it were limited to this industry. The rest of the netizens did not pay much attention to it.


    The impact of being published by a prominent public figure was immeasurable.


    Although Xiaorui was not popular before, and even if she appeared in front of the public, not many people would know her, but the moment her news came out, the popularity immediately became different.


    In the report, she used the form of the first person to describe how ye zhiqiao took a liking to her rich boyfriend yi chen. Knowing that yi chen had a girlfriend, she deliberately seduced and tried to stir up the relationship between yi chen and herself. In the end, yi chen still did not resist her deception and chose to abandon herself and be with the woman who looked different from her.


    At the end of the report, she also made it clear that ye zhiqiao didn''t like yi chen at all. She just took a fancy to his rich identity and even made up the story that ye zhiqiao forced her to leave yi chen.


    Overnight, Xiaorui''s fans grew from dozens to more than 20 million, and many expressed their sympathy for her.


    There were also people who directly helped her denounce ye zhiqiao, and the internet was full of curses. Most of them said that they suspected ye zhiqiao''s rapid rise in the design industry, and that the speed of fame must not be achieved by hard work.


    Of course, there were still a few calm people who seriously analyzed the situation and felt that it was impossible to listen to xiao rui alone. What if she deliberately slandered ye zhiqiao for the sake of popularity? She had to come up with evidence to believe it.


    This was exactly what Xiaorui wanted. The next morning, she posted the photos she bought from the paparazzi on the internet.


    There were not only photos of ye zhi coincidentally getting into Qin Baiye''s car, but also photos of her and gu mohan going in and out of the house together, and of yi chen defending her at the reception, all of which were taken into the camera.


    There was no way to explain it. Ye zhiqiao and the three famous rich young masters in the business world were close enough to attract imagination, not to mention Xiaorui''s speech, and even someone dug out the report that bai zixuan had published earlier. For a moment, the public opinion on the internet fell to one side.


    A certain netizen: "So I thought she was wronged. Looking at a serious girl, how could she do such a thing?"


    A certain netizen: "I have long seen that she is not a good thing. As soon as the previous piece of news came out, I knew that there must be something behind it. There is no impermeable wall in the world."


    A certain netizen: "This woman is just a bitch. After this and that... No, no, no, maybe she''s with several of them!"


    A netizen: ..."

 Chapter 94 Someone Manipulated It on Purpose?

    The action of the netizens was quick, and soon the details of ye zhiqiao''s personal information and current residence were revealed.


    On this day, ye zhiqiao had just walked out of the door when she saw red paint splashed all over the floor. On the tree opposite, there was a big sign with the words "Bitch" and "Bitch" written on it.


    She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and prepared to walk on.


    Before she could take a few steps, an unknown object suddenly hit her head. With a soft sound, sticky liquid slowly slid down her hair.


    She reached over her head and smeared the broken egg shells all over her hands.


    Ye zhi happened to look around and found two little girls snickering in the shadow of a tree two or three meters to the left.


    He looked young, sixteen or seventeen years old.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to speak, the two girls found themselves exposed and quickly got up and ran away.


    When they reached a distance of about twenty meters, they probably felt safe. They mustered all their strength and shouted, "A bitch deserves to be beaten up! Pig cage!!!"


    The voice of the curse still echoed in her ears. The two girls had already run away. Ye zhiqiao stood there, her feet as if they were fixed, motionless.


    She advised herself in her heart that girls at this age are always impulsive and can''t stand the dark side of the world. After watching the news, she felt that she was a bad person, and it was normal to want to teach her a lesson.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao could not help but smile bitterly. She could not convince herself that what was normal, what should be, and what was normal, was all bullshit!


    Why should they maliciously speculate and seriously injure themselves because of a report that could not withstand scrutiny? How could they do whatever they wanted with a large crowd? Is it true that there are many people?! Is it justice to punish with lynching?!


    Ye zhiqiao had been scolded by numerous "Righteous people" these days, and in the end, she didn''t even dare to log on to social software. Gu mohan wanted to protect her and keep her at home for a while, but she couldn''t hold back today, so she just wanted to relax on the nearby road.


    It is absurd for a man who has never made a mistake to not be able to enjoy this basic human rights again!


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to stay in gu mohan''s villa anymore. She thought about her relatives and friends in her head and found that the only person who could make her feel completely relaxed and speak her mind was jian mengqi.


    She spoke to little treasure and aunt Li, then drove straight to jian mengqi''s house.


    Of course, jian mengqi knew what happened to ye zhiqiao these days. She had wanted to call and ask about the situation, but her phone was off all the time.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao suddenly appear at her door with a tired face, jian mengqi was stunned for a moment and quickly pulled her into the room.


    "How are you? Why did you keep your phone off when I called you earlier?"


    Ye zhiqiao pretended to be calm and calm in front of xiao bao and gu mohan, and when she reached jian mengqi, she was immediately vulnerable.


    Hearing her best friend''s words of concern, she could no longer restrain her emotions and burst into tears.


    "Mengqi... I... I... They..."


    Ye zhiqiao sobbed and choked, unable to utter a complete sentence.


    Seeing her like this, jian mengqi quickly comforted her, "I know, I know, you can cry if you want to. I''m here with you. When you want to say it again, I''m here."


    With jian mengqi''s words, ye zhiqiao felt much more at ease, and finally said, "They... All scolded me... Bullied me..."


    Jian mengqi reached out to hold her in her arms and looked at her normally mature and steady friend. Now she was crying like a child and her heart began to ache. She could not help but scold, "Go to his bastard netizens. They are a bunch of idiots. That... That Xiaorui, an indecent third-tier star, believes everything he says, and those photos. I don''t know which bastard took them. If I knew, I have to skin him!"


    Jian mengqi was comforting ye zhiqiao, who was feeling down. On the other hand, gu mohan was also anxious about this matter.


    As soon as the report came out, he had already asked qin ning to find the relevant people and use some special means to reduce the impact of this negative news, so that it would not continue to expand and spread.


    He even hired a number of sailors and influential insiders to issue statements to guide public opinion.


    However, all of this did not seem to have much effect. The internet was still full of curses against ye zhiqiao. All of his efforts were like sinking a stone into the sea without stirring a wave.


    While he was frowning, qin ning had already knocked on the door and entered.


    This morning, he saw that things were still not under control, but there was a growing trend, so he allocated a large sum of money to qin ning, let him find the leaders of the major websites to discuss, and spend money to buy those bad news for ye zhiqiao.


    "How''s it going?"


    Qin ning frowned and said with a defeated face, "I''m sorry, gu shao, I didn''t make it?"


    Gu mohan frowned when he heard this and thought that he had already paid a lot of money. Could they not be willing?


    Qin ning looked at gu mohan''s face and understood what he was thinking, "They really don''t want to cooperate because they don''t have much money."


    "How much more do they want?" Gu mohan asked.


    Qin ning pondered for a while, but couldn''t help but say, "Gu shao, I don''t know if I feel right, but I always feel that they don''t think too much of money."


    Gu mohan narrowed his eyes and motioned for him to continue.


    "Although they refused to cooperate on the pretext that they didn''t have enough money, they didn''t say how much they wanted from the beginning to the end. Instead, they kept trying to find out why I wanted to buy the news, and there was one thing that made me stop wasting my energy."


    "No money?" Gu mohan repeated in confusion.


    Things are not right. If you buy the news at your usual price, including what you did before, it would be more than enough if you just wanted to calm down the topic caused by a third-tier actress.


    To put it another way, even if everything he did really didn''t work, the heat of the matter should have gradually subsided over the past few days, but now it seems that the result is exactly the opposite.


    Gu mohan tapped his fingers on the table a few times, then looked up and said to qin ning, "There''s something odd about this. Go check it out. I suspect someone is manipulating this on purpose."

 Chapter 95 Yi Chen Didnt Mind the Scandal

    A black car sped down the road. Gu mohan held the wind wheel in his right hand and removed the bluetooth headset from his ear with his left.


    Hanging up the phone, he continued to think about the news that qin ning brought back an hour ago.


    The reason why the major websites did not want to sell back the reports about ye zhiqiao, and even raised those reports to the top repeatedly, was because behind them, a company had spent a lot of money to remotely manipulate all of this.


    The insiders were very strict about this, because the company behind them was very powerful, and they took a lot of benefits from others, so they did not dare to reveal any of it.


    Qin ning went through a lot of trouble to find out about this, and finally found a small manager of a website who had worked together a few times before and was in urgent need of money to find out the general situation.


    And gu mohan, the mastermind behind the scenes, knew him too. The call just now was for the secretary to make an appointment in advance, but not to see him, but to see his brother.


    "General manager, president gu is here." The secretary notified him by phone.


    "Yes, let him in."


    Yi chen had been half lying on the office chair before, and when he saw that gu Mohan had come in soon, he straightened up and stood up.


    "Why is young master gu free to come here?"


    Although the two of them had never had any business dealings, they had seen each other several times in private, and the atmosphere between them was not very harmonious, so they did not want to shake hands politely.


    Gu mohan did not answer. After the secretary who came in later served two cups of coffee, he said, "There are some things I want to talk to young master yi alone."


    He glanced at the secretary. Yi chen understood and said to the secretary, "You go out first. No one should come in during this time."


    After the secretary left, yi chen went to the reception sofa and sat down. He picked up his coffee and took a sip without inviting gu mohan.


    Gu mohan ignored his attitude and sat down opposite him. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.


    "Master gu doesn''t have to make an appointment in advance like the others next time. A big man like you, no one dares to stop you."


    Although the words were polite on the surface, there was a strange air in them. Last time at the party, he wanted to protect ye zhiqiao, but gu mohan had taken the lead and he was still a little upset.


    Gu mohan did not know why yi chen was hostile to him, but he was also very dissatisfied with yi chen anyway, so he did not care, and said, "It''s okay. If it weren''t for such a serious matter, I wouldn''t have come back easily."


    Yi chen sneered and stopped talking.


    Gu mohan went on to talk about business, "Young master yi, I wonder if you have read all kinds of reports about ye zhiqiao on the internet recently."


    "Oh,'' all kinds''?! It''s clearly all news of accusations and abuse." Yi chen put down his glass and his eyes became colder.


    Gu mohan nodded and said, "That''s what I saw. I''m sure you know it in your heart. Almost all of those reports were deliberate slander and slander. They were all personal attacks on ye zhiqiao, and the original poster... Claimed to be young master yi''s ex-girlfriend."


    Yi chen sneered and said, "Yes, it''s my ex-girlfriend, but you won''t believe that she can turn the whole internet upside down in just a few days with a third-tier star, right?"


    "Then do you know who did it?"


    Yi chen shook his head, looked at gu mohan playfully and asked, "I don''t know. I''m not as capable as master gu. Have you found out about me since you came to see me today?"


    Gu mohan looked back at him with a heavy gaze and said slowly, "The person who did this is young master yi''s eldest brother, yi shaozhi."


    Yi chen was slightly surprised at first, but it was fleeting.


    Seeing that he had not reacted for a long time, gu mohan did not look angry and was puzzled.


    Didn''t he always show a strong interest in ye zhiqiao? Hearing that it was his own brother who framed ye zhiqiao, he should be very angry and go to yi shaozhi to stop him. How could he remain calm?


    "Young master yi, you don''t seem to care much when you hear this news?" Gu mohan probed.


    I didn''t expect yi chen to have no intention of concealing it at all. He said directly, "Ye zhiqiao really cares about being scolded by those people on the internet, but... I really don''t have any thoughts about what master gu told me just now."


    Gu mo''s eyes darkened as he frowned and asked, "What do you mean? The person who harmed ye zhiqiao was your own brother."


    Yi chen spread out his hands and smiled, "Of course I know, but so what? Free speech online, what they like to say is their business, and..."


    He leaned forward and approached gu mohan. He lowered his body and said, "I really like them talking about me and ye zhiqiao together!"


    "You!" Gu mo stood up coldly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what kind of days ye zhiqiao has been living these days because of this?!"


    Yi chen then picked up a cup of coffee and said with a chuckle, "I know she may not be doing well, but the rumors will pass, and there is no need to care about it... And in the future, I don''t know if I will have the chance to become the subject of ye zhiqiao''s scandal. This experience is really rare."


    Gu mo was furious and waved off the coffee cup in his hand. The light brown liquid fell on his suit.


    Yi chen reached out to brush the water stains, and the smile on his face faded.


    "Master gu, this is not your gu group."


    Gu mohan''s eyes were almost burning with anger, and he sternly warned, "If you really like ye zhiqiao, you should do something for her so that she doesn''t have to suffer this unnecessary injury. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being rude!!"


    Yi chen licked his lower lip and smiled again, "Whatever you want to do, do as you please."


    Gu mohan clenched his fists tightly and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. After a while, he turned around and walked out of the office.


    He walked straight to the garage and looked at the black car in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became. Gu mohan raised his hand and punched him hard.


    Yi chen''s attitude just now really made him completely unaware. He had thought that even if yi chen would not be furious, he should at least accept it if he stopped yi shaozhi. He did not expect that he would still enjoy the misunderstanding between him and ye zhiqiao!


    Gu mohan sat back in the car, frowning and leaning back in his chair.


    The warning to yi chen was just a momentary anger. If yi chen didn''t want to help, there was nothing he could do. After all, Yi''s was not a small company, and the two companies had been fighting each other even before gu had developed this scale in the past few years.

 Chapter 96 Little Treasure Slid Down from the Window

    After gu mohan returned to the company, qin ning immediately welcomed him.


    Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Qin ning nodded and sent over a report.


    "This is the quarterly report that mengxing group just sent over. There are several obvious loopholes in it. Logically speaking, this kind of report has always been compiled by the president himself... Miss ye has never made such a mistake before."


    Qin ning knew that gu mohan was unusual to ye zhi, and then said, "I asked the secretary who passed by gu''s beside miss ye. She said that miss ye has been in a bad state these days and almost fainted from hypoglycemia several times."


    Gu mohan nodded, indicating that he knew.


    When he got home last night, he heard that ye zhiqiao had packed up her things and moved to jian mengqi''s house. He knew that ye zhiqiao was depressed these days and probably didn''t want him to ask too much, so he didn''t call her.


    However, looking at ye zhiqiao''s current state, it should be much more serious than he thought.


    That''s right. After all, women are more sensitive to things that concern their own innocence.


    Gu mohan thought for a moment and called her.


    Ye zhiqiao was still at the company. When she received gu mohan''s call, she remembered the report she had just handed in.


    "What''s wrong? Is there something wrong with the report?"


    Gu mohan listened to her hoarse voice, which should be the reason why she often cried these days. Seeing that she was still worried about work under such circumstances, he couldn''t help but feel more distressed.


    "It''s not because of that. I just wanted to ask you... Are you used to living at jian mengqi''s house?"


    Ye zhiqiao was a little sorry, because she decided to leave and told aunt Li and little treasure, but did not say hello to gu mohan.


    "I''m sorry, I should have told you."


    Gu mohan chuckled and said, "I didn''t call to criticize you. Don''t always think about bad things."


    Seeing that he looked like a child, ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "Okay, then what do you want to say?"


    "Mmm..." Gu mohan pondered for a moment, then said tentatively, "I want to give you a long vacation and have a good rest. What do you think?"


    Ye zhiqiao knew that he was thinking for himself and wanted to stay away from the rumors for the time being, but she hesitated and asked, "What about the company after I leave?"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll let qin ning take over for the time being. He''s experienced, and I''m not going to keep you away until you''re well rested and come back anytime."


    Hearing him say this, ye zhiqiao was relieved. She actually had this intention long ago. With her current situation, she could not concentrate on her work.


    "Well, thank qin ning for me."


    Gu mohan agreed and continued, "I have no problem with you staying at jian mengqi''s house, but I hope you can spare some time to visit little treasure more. She should miss you very much."


    "Actually, I miss you too." Gu mohan did not say that.


    "Of course, I''ll go even if you don''t tell me. I''ve always been worried that I won''t be around and that little treasure won''t be able to eat well."


    Ever since ye zhiqiao moved into gu mohan''s house, little treasure''s condition has been getting better and better. So far, even if ye zhiqiao doesn''t accompany him occasionally, he can eat normally. But now ye zhiqiao has completely moved away, and I don''t know if little treasure can adapt.


    Hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao informed the secretary and then went straight to gu mohan''s villa to pack up.


    Aunt Li opened the door and was still very happy to see ye zhiqiao. He said that after she left yesterday, little treasure kept thinking about her at night.


    "How about her dinner tonight?"


    Aunt Li thought for a moment and replied, "Not bad, just like usual."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded reassuringly as she spoke to aunt Li and went upstairs to little treasure''s room.


    As soon as the door was opened, the two of them were startled. Aunt Li almost cried out and quickly covered his mouth.


    Little treasure was standing on the window sill of the bedroom, half of his body sticking out of the window, and his little feet were still rubbing against the same spot.


    Although it was only the second floor, the height was not low, and little treasure was a child and had been in poor health. If one fell accidentally, he would probably lose half his life.


    And downstairs was a small garden with many branches and thorns, so it wouldn''t be a joke if they scratched their eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao and aunt Li stood at the door, scared but still afraid to speak. Little treasure''s current position is too dangerous. If he gets scared, he will probably roll down the window.


    Ye zhiqiao was carefully stepping forward, trying to carry little treasure down from behind.


    However, little treasure didn''t know what he wanted to see, so he moved his body out again.


    That was a good move. The tiles on the window sill were already slippery, and little treasure''s feet were so small that he slipped out of the window and his tiny body fell straight out of the window!!


    Saying so quickly, ye zhiqiao had no time to react at all. Instinctively, she rushed forward and reached out to the window sill with her right hand. Her fingertips caught little treasure''s pajamas from her collar.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly stretched out her left hand as well. With a slight effort, she pulled little treasure up.


    After all, aunt Li was old, and only then did he come one step behind and take the child from ye zhiqiao''s trembling arm.


    She looked up and down at little treasure and saw that there was no trauma before she took her into her arms and gently shook her to comfort her.


    Just now, things happened suddenly. After all, little treasure was a child. He was scared out of his wits when he fell from the window sill and knew that he hadn''t made a sound yet.


    Afraid that she was scared, ye zhiqiao patted her back and shouted, "Little treasure... Little treasure, are you scared? How about a word with aunt ye?"


    Aunt Li asked, "Why don''t you take it to the hospital?"


    Ye zhiqiao also felt that this situation should not be good. Just as she was about to answer, she suddenly heard a loud cry.


    "Wow!!"


    Little treasure''s loud voice filled the room in an instant.


    Then she stretched out her short arms and said intermittently in the direction of ye zhiqiao, "Ye... Aunt ye... Hug..."


    Aunt Li quickly handed little treasure to ye zhiqiao and said with a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, this is all right. If you can cry and still know someone, it will be absolutely no problem."


    Ye zhiqiao also calmed down and patted little treasure on the back to comfort him for a while. When she saw that little treasure''s mood gradually calmed down, she asked, "Was little treasure scared just now? Tell auntie ye, what were you looking at just now?"


    In fact, ye zhiqiao wanted to tell xiao bao not to do this again next time, but when she thought that xiao bao was still very scared now, and then mentioned that it might scare her to continue crying, she wanted to wait until later to give her these safety common sense.


    Little treasure sniffed and a bean-sized tear fell from his eyes.


    "I... I just saw aunt ye''s car coming. I wanted to see if it was... You, but... I never saw it..."


    After that, he started to sob intermittently.


    Ye zhiqiao''s car was parked at the gate a while ago and had been splashed with paint, so this time she drove directly into the gate and stopped at the door of the villa.


    Little treasure''s bedroom was almost vertical to the door, so it was impossible to see who was getting out of the car.


    Ye zhiqiao was heartbroken and moved. She knew that her departure would cause some harm to little treasure. But in the future, she couldn''t stay by little treasure''s side all the time. If gu mohan had a wife in the future, there was no reason for him to get close to their father and daughter''s life.


    But that''s all in the future.


    She sighed, buried little treasure''s head in her shoulder, and promised softly, "Little treasure, don''t look at it like that again. Aunt ye will come over often to accompany you."

 Chapter 97 She Woke up Every Morning in Shock

    On this day, ye zhiqiao was eating snacks and watching a movie at jian mengqi''s house when she received a call from aunt Li.


    She said that little treasure suddenly had a fever from the morning. At noon, master gu came back from the company to take him to the hospital, but he was called away by a phone. The burnt little treasure had been calling ye zhiqiao''s name, so she called and asked if ye zhiqiao could come to the hospital.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately agreed, changed her clothes and ran out with the car keys.


    When he arrived at the hospital, little treasure was still asleep. When aunt Li saw her coming, he handed little treasure over to her and went home to get little treasure''s daily necessities. He was in a hurry and didn''t have time to take anything.


    Ye zhiqiao was panting heavily as she sat on the stool in front of the hospital bed, trying to touch little treasure''s slightly reddened face, but found that her fingers were a little cold, afraid to wake little treasure up.


    She sat there quietly for more than two hours. Aunt Li brought something and immediately went home to prepare dinner for little treasure. It was almost evening when little treasure finally woke up.


    Little treasure finally opened his heavy eyelids. Because of the slow reaction to the fever, he was slightly stunned when he saw ye zhiqiao and asked in a low voice, "Aunt ye... Is that you?"


    Ye zhiqiao quickly leaned down, touched her forehead, and said softly, "It''s me. I''ve been here with little treasure."


    Little treasure curved his lips and smiled, but because of his illness, he looked a little weak.


    Ye zhiqiao knew that she was in a bad state and did not let her continue to speak. She picked up the millet porridge on the table beside her and asked if she wanted to drink it.


    Aunt Li was afraid that she would suddenly wake up hungry, so he bought porridge on the way here.


    Little treasure shook his head gently, indicating that he did not want to drink.


    Although her fever had nothing to do with her stomach, her discomfort could affect her appetite.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "Okay, but by dinnertime, you promised auntie ye that you would have some too."


    Little treasure nodded and fell asleep again in a daze.


    During this period, the nurse came over to change a bottle of liquid, and she was not woken up.


    Aunt Li brought dinner over and asked ye zhiqiao if she wanted to wake her up. Ye zhiqiao couldn''t bear to see her sound asleep and said that she would feed her when she woke up at night.


    Aunt Li agreed and said, "Miss ye, go back first. I''ll stay here at night."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said, "I''ll stay here. Little treasure will wake up and see if I''m not around. You''d better go home and rest. Besides, you need to take care of the house."


    Hearing her say so, aunt Li did not refuse. In the past, little treasure was always taken care of by ye zhiqiao day and night when he was sick.


    After sending aunt Li away, ye zhiqiao returned to her bed and sat down.


    She looked at the food and was not in the mood to eat it. During this period of time, she couldn''t eat or sleep well because of the things on the internet.


    Thinking about it this way, she felt so tired that she simply lay on the bed and rested.


    At night, little treasure woke up, and his body temperature was still a little low. After eating something, he fell asleep again.


    Gu mohan also came once, looked at little treasure''s situation, said a few words to ye zhiqiao, and then returned to the company to work overtime. These days, ye zhi happened not to be here, and he had to deal with the matters of mengxing group. He was too busy.


    Ye zhiqiao slept less than three hours that night and woke up before dawn.


    She shook her head hard and dreamed about what was happening online. She was scolded in her dream.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled bitterly and reached out to test xiao bao''s temperature. It was about the same as her temperature. It should have gone down. It should be fine to call again later to check.


    Little treasure was discharged from the hospital at around ten in the morning.


    Ye zhiqiao helped aunt Li send her back to Mohan''s villa, then quickly returned to jian mengqi''s house to sleep. After staying up all night, her head was sore and swollen, as if it could explode at any time.


    "Ye zhiqiao, you don''t have to pretend anymore. Even if you do something dirty, no one will be surprised." Hu yang raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously.


    Ye yiyu punched the iron gate of the detention center and laughed wildly, "I didn''t expect you to have this day, ye zhiqiao! If I can''t deal with you, god will deal with you for me. Just wait for your reputation to fall apart! Hahaha!"


    Zhuang jiamin stood in front of ye zhiqiao''s mother''s tombstone with her arms in her arms and sneered, "Look, this is your good daughter. Look what she has done. How capable of stepping on a man and climbing to the top!"


    "Ye zhi happens to be shameless! Bitch!"


    "A bitch who has no ability but to sleep with men!"


    "Go to hell, ye zhiqiao! Go to hell!!!"


    "Ah--"


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly opened her eyes, which were round and unfocused.


    Bean-sized beads of sweat slid down from his forehead and dripped into the hair at his temples. It was already too wet to look like it was. Sweat and tears mixed together, sticky and greasy.


    Suddenly the door was opened and jian mengqi ran in.


    "What''s the matter, Zhiqiao? Did you have a nightmare?"


    Jian mengqi held her shoulder and made her sit up.''


    Ye zhiqiao took a sip of the water she handed over and woke up to find that her heart was beating fast and violently, as if it was about to rush out of her chest.


    Jian mengqi looked at her worriedly and said, "I''ve seen you sleeping since I came back. Didn''t you take care of little treasure last night? You didn''t have time to sleep all night?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were still a little dazed and said weakly, "I slept for a few hours."


    Although he asked again, "What time is it now?"


    Jian mengqi sighed and replied, "It''s getting dark. It''s eight o'' clock in the evening. You haven''t slept all day, have you?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t get enough sleep these days, so she stayed up all night. Finally, her body couldn''t hold on any longer, and she made up for the lack of sleep.


    After a long silence, jian mengqi asked her if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said in a daze, "Mengqi, I''ve been dreaming all these days. Everyone in the dream is scolding me. They all think I''m disgusting and want me to die. In the end..."


    She grabbed jian mengqi''s hand and cried, "Even the closest people around me don''t want to believe me anymore. Everyone leaves me..."


    "Then... Then I stood in a glass cover, and everyone who passed by wanted to spit at me and curse me. I... I wanted to close my eyes and cover my ears, but I could still hear and see. I was really... So scared... I..."


    Jian mengqi couldn''t bear to listen any more. She hugged her gently and stroked her back with her palm.


    "No matter what others do, I will never leave you. And gu mohan, little treasure, little treasure likes you so much, how could he not want you?"


    Ye zhiqiao was still crying. Her spirit could hardly bear the pressure and was on the verge of collapse.


    "Have you been having nightmares like this all night long?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said sulkily, "I wake up every morning from fright."


    Jian mengqi knew that many people suffered from depression because they could not bear the pressure from the outside world. Although ye zhiqiao had always been confident and optimistic, she was afraid that she could not resist the continuous bombardment of those people.


    "Zhiqiao, otherwise... You can go abroad and relax."

 Chapter 98 Ye Zhiqiao Went Abroad Together with Yichen

    Last night, jian mengqi saw that ye zhiqiao''s mental state was really bad, and suggested that she travel abroad, one can relax, the other can temporarily stay away from the domestic rumors.


    Ye zhiqiao was really exhausted recently. After a little consideration, she agreed.


    After the two discussed, they searched the internet for suitable places to travel, and found that Norway, located in northern europe, was in winter, and the whole world of Oslo, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, was a vast expanse of white.


    Ye zhiqiao was in a fretful mood and was suitable for such a peaceful city. She booked a flight for the next day that night.


    Because the decision was made suddenly, until ye zhiqiao arrived at the airport the next day, only jian mengqi knew about it.


    She didn''t tell gu mohan and little treasure that she might be back in a week or two, so there was no need for them to worry.


    But just as she got off the taxi, she suddenly received a call from yi chen.


    She held her cell phone and hesitated for a while, but still chose to answer it.


    Ever since her personal information was taken out a while ago, her cell phone number was also leaked, and she often received some disturbing calls, so she had to turn off her cell phone. Later, she had been using jian mengqi''s spare cell phone, and now she was going abroad, so she turned it on again.


    Yi chen couldn''t get through to ye zhiqiao''s phone a few days ago, but then he seemed to have formed a habit of trying to make a call every day according to three meals. Today was the same as usual, but he didn''t expect to be connected.


    Looking at the "In the middle of a call" displayed on the screen, he paused for a moment before sounding out, "Hello?" With a cry.


    Ye zhiqiao asked, "Yi chen? What''s the matter?"


    Hearing that it was really her voice, yi chen felt happy and said quickly, "Nothing, I just..."


    Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly stopped.


    Because ye zhiqiao had just walked to the airport while answering the phone, and now she was in the waiting room. The voice of the announcer broadcasting the flight information in real time followed the microphone to yi chen''s side.


    "You... Are at the airport now?"


    Ye zhiqiao also realized at this time that she could not hide it from him, so she said directly, "Yes, I''m going out for a few days."


    Yi chen then asked, "Where are you going?"


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a moment and said the truth, "I want to go abroad for a few days."


    "What time does your flight leave?"


    Ye zhi happened to look at the big screen not far ahead and said, "8: 40."


    Yi chen looked at his watch and hung up the phone.


    It took off at 8: 40. It was already 7: 30. There was at most half an hour left before boarding time.


    Ye zhiqiao looked blankly at the busy phone in her hand. After a while, she went to the other side to get the ticket.


    During this period, jian mengqi called her. She was sorry that something urgent happened to her company today, so she didn''t have time to come to see her off. Then she asked her how long she had to register, whether the plane was delayed, and so on.


    Ye zhiqiao was confused by her question, but she knew that she was kind, so she answered carefully one by one, until the announcement that she was about to board the plane sounded on the radio.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up her handbag and prepared to line up in front.


    "Hey!"


    A loud male voice sounded behind her, and then someone patted her on the shoulder.


    Ye zhiqiao turned around and her eyes almost popped out.


    "You... Why are you here?!"


    Yi chen had just gotten out of the car to see that it was almost eight o'' clock. He ran into the airport and clutched the ticket that his secretary had just asked someone to buy.


    Just after strenuous exercise, he was gasping for air. In the late autumn season, he was sweating a little. After a while, he answered, "I want to go out and play for a few days. You''re going too. Let''s go together."


    "Want to go out and play?" Ye zhiqiao looked at him empty-handed, guessed a few points, and deliberately asked, "What about your luggage? Have you checked it?"


    Yi chen was stopped. He knew that ye zhiqiao was leaving, so he specially asked his secretary to check the flight at the same time, and then bought tickets temporarily. He didn''t even bring a backpack, let alone luggage.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him and didn''t want to be embarrassed anymore, so she said, "Okay, stop it. You should go back quickly and return the ticket before the plane takes off."


    Then he turned to leave.


    Yi chen hurriedly followed her, half a meter behind her like a dog''s skin plaster.


    Ye zhiqiao looked back and said, "Don''t you still have to work at the company? It''s irresponsible for you to leave so suddenly."


    Yi chen followed up with a low brow and whispered, "I can''t help you in the company, and I always cause trouble. Recently, because of the cooperation with your company, I''ve been busy at the back of my head. I really wanted to take a rest."


    "Do you know where I''m going?" Ye zhiqiao stopped and asked.


    Yi chen waved his ticket in front of her eyes, "Oslo!"


    "I''ve booked a hotel and rented a car. You haven''t prepared anything..."


    "Aye!" Yi chen pushed her forward and said, "As long as you have the money, you will have everything. Hurry up and go. It''s all boarding."


    Ye zhiqiao could not persuade him, and she thought that with her relationship with yi chen, she was not familiar with the freedom to interfere with others, so she stopped persuading him and let him go.


    Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with yi chen on the plane. It was quiet all the way, probably because she was afraid that ye zhiqiao would be angry and didn''t talk to her often.


    At 12: 30 noon, the plane landed on time in Oslo Airport.


    Taking a taxi, ye zhiqiao immediately called jian mengqi to tell her that she was safe.


    But jian mengqi was a little hesitant.


    "What''s wrong? Are you in a meeting?"


    "No, no, I... Nothing."


    Although ye zhiqiao was a little strange, she didn''t take it to heart, "I''ve got off the plane. I''m on my way to the hotel now. Um... Yi chen is with me."


    When jian mengqi heard the last half of the sentence, she quickly covered her cell phone, held her breath and looked back. Then she turned her head as if she had been stabbed by a needle. She said to the phone at a high speed, "I really want to go to a meeting. Next time, let''s talk about it. Be careful. Goodbye!"


    After that, she immediately hung up the phone and threw it aside like a hot potato.


    Gu mohan sat on the sofa behind her and narrowed his eyes in hatred.


    In the morning, he couldn''t contact ye zhiqiao. He was worried and went to jian mengqi''s house. He didn''t expect that there was no trace of ye zhiqiao. Then he went straight to jian mengqi''s company.


    As soon as she sat down, ye zhiqiao called.


    Gu mohan clearly heard about her traveling abroad, and he was already a little unhappy. He didn''t expect to hear that yi chen had followed him!


    Jian mengqi saw gu mohan sitting there motionless, like a stone statue, and shivered subconsciously.


    How did she know that ye zhi happened to be leaving without telling gu mohan? Of course, I didn''t know that yi chen was following him!


    Now, gu mohan was obviously jealous of Shanxi!


    Just as she was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, before she could say anything, gu mohan stood up abruptly and walked out of her office with the wind on his feet.

 Chapter 99 Take Little Treasure with You

    Gu mohan left jian mengqi''s company and called his secretary while driving.


    Ye zhiqiao had already arrived, and he still had to help continue to deal with the negative news of ye zhiqiao. Even if he was anxious, he couldn''t leave for a while. Besides, yi chen could follow him shamelessly, but he had no reason to chase after him. Besides, little treasure was still here. After thinking about it, he had to send someone to protect ye zhiqiao temporarily.


    When he put down the phone, his heart still felt awkward and he couldn''t tell what it was like.


    Clearly, he was very worried about ye zhiqiao, but ye zhiqiao, who had no conscience, didn''t even tell him to leave. This could be done for the sake of her bad mood, but she went with yi chen to figure out what was going on.!


    They''re not close enough to travel together, are they?!


    Angry, gu mohan continued driving back to the company, then helped ye zhiqiao manage the affairs of mengxing group, and at the same time found a way to deal with the news.


    That day, gu mohan worked an extra night at the company. It was almost dawn when he took time to take a nap. Before he could fall asleep, he received a call from home.


    Aunt Li anxiously explained the situation on the phone. Gu mohan was completely sleepless, so he quickly took the car keys and ran out.


    It turned out that after ye zhiqiao left, little treasure''s diet had a previous problem.


    The previous few days were fine, she could eat some food normally, but her appetite was a little small, but in recent days, her condition suddenly worsened, eating some white rice porridge was difficult, after drinking half a bowl, she would vomit out, just like before meeting ye zhiqiao.


    Aunt Li saw that little treasure was in a very bad condition and was tired and thin, so he had to take her to the hospital and call gu mohan who hadn''t seen her for several days.


    When gu mohan arrived at the hospital, jian mengqi arrived just in time.


    When ye zhiqiao left, she specially asked her to take care of little treasure, so she had to go to the gu family villa once every two or three days. When she went there today, there was no one at home.


    The two of them went into the ward together, and little treasure was asleep after receiving the nutrient solution.


    Aunt Li explained the situation and retreated when he saw nothing.


    Gu mohan looked at his daughter on the hospital bed and felt heartbroken. These days, he was busy with his work and saw little treasure a few times. He felt really guilty.


    Little treasure''s eyes were gently closed, and the color on his face was not very good, and his lips were not bloody. He did not seem to use any strength when breathing, and he looked obviously weak.


    Jian mengqi also took a stool and sat down beside the bed. Although she often saw little treasure these two days, she could clearly feel that little treasure was losing weight day by day. She helped feed him several times, but the effect was not very good.


    She had heard of little treasure''s strange illness before, and when she saw gu mohan''s face turn bad, she must have been worried that little treasure would become the same again.


    This is not the way, jian mengqi felt that it was still necessary to say the previous thoughts.


    She asked softly, "Is little treasure like this... Because Zhiqiao is not around?"


    Gu mohan was not in the mood to chat and just nodded casually.


    Jian mengqi did not care, and directly said her own thoughts: "Little treasure will not be able to continue like this, I think you should take her with you to find ye zhiqiao."


    Hearing this, gu mohan was stunned and repeated, "Let''s go find ye zhiqiao together?"


    "That''s right." Jian mengqi nodded and said, "It''s only when little treasure left Zhiqiao that he became like this. It''s only when he comes back to her that he can get better. Besides, don''t you always worry about Zhiqiao and yi chen staying alone abroad? This is not a good opportunity. Kill two birds with one stone!"


    Gu mohan was enlightened by jian mengqi''s words.


    The reason why he didn''t go directly abroad was partly because of the company, but the bigger reason was that there was no legitimate reason, and he was worried about leaving little treasure at home.


    And now is the right time to go abroad.


    After the idea was confirmed, gu mohan moved quickly. Seeing that little treasure was much better after the infusion, he immediately booked the plane ticket and was ready to fly to Norway that night.


    The time difference between the two places was seven hours. When ye zhiqiao received a call from gu mohan about to board the plane, she was having lunch at the all-glass restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.


    When she heard that he and little treasure were about to board the plane and fly straight to Oslo, the milk in her mouth almost gushed out.


    The two of them took a 7: 00 pm flight and arrived around 11: 00 pm Norway time. Ye zhiqiao rushed downstairs and booked a room for the two of them.


    After returning to the upstairs, ye zhiqiao sat up and waited awkwardly.


    She heard on the phone that the two of them came over this time, because little treasure couldn''t eat and his physical condition became worse, he really had no way to find her, so she couldn''t help but worry.


    Ye zhiqiao originally thought that the strange disease that little treasure had suffered before had unknowingly improved, so she would leave the country at ease. She did not expect that she had been away for less than a week, but it happened again. She did not know how little treasure was now.


    However, she turned around and comforted herself. No matter what, gu mohan was also little treasure''s father. He couldn''t let little treasure get too sick. He must have rushed over with a burning heart when he saw that little treasure was on the verge of a relapse.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao could finally feel at ease for the time being.


    Ye zhiqiao stayed at a hotel a little away from the airport, so before 9: 30, she rushed to the airport.


    When he arrived, he looked at his watch and was dumbfounded. There was still more than an hour left before the plane arrived.


    Feeling bored waiting and afraid that little treasure would not be used to dinner on the plane, he went to the supermarket at the airport, picked up some cake and milk, and tried to cushion little treasure''s stomach.


    As she wandered around, time passed quickly. When she saw that it was almost time to go back, gu mohan and little treasure had already arrived.


    Little treasure suddenly found ye zhiqiao walking towards him in the crowd. He quickly ran up to her and threw himself into her arms, "Aunt ye, little treasure misses you so much."


    Ye zhi happened to be hugged by the little guy who suddenly rushed over. She was extremely happy, but then she frowned.


    Although the little guy looked very fat in his thick cotton coat, ye zhiqiao reached out and hugged her, immediately feeling that she was much lighter than before.


    Ye zhiqiao put her on the ground, pulled open her tight scarf and looked at it. Her heart suddenly tightened.


    Before she left the country, little treasure was still chubby with a little baby fat face. At this time, he was already extremely thin, and his eyes looked a lot bigger. Most importantly, little treasure''s face was not good at all.


    Gu mohan also came over at this time and saw ye zhiqiao say hello.


    Ye zhiqiao stood up and glanced at him, ignoring him. She wrapped little treasure''s scarf around it, then pulled her out directly, secretly complaining in her heart.


    It was still little treasure''s father. She had only been away for a few days, and she had actually made little treasure like this! When she was there, she saw that little treasure''s appetite was getting better and better. Even if it would affect him if she left, then he, as a father, should think of a way. How could he be so thin from little treasure?!

 Chapter 100 Gu Mohan Was Left Out

    Ye zhiqiao stopped a taxi and took little treasure to the back seat.


    Gu mohan felt that ye zhiqiao''s attitude was wrong from just now on. After a little consideration, he also sat in the back seat.


    The car was air-conditioned and warm. Ye zhiqiao took off xiao bao''s scarf and unbuttoned his cotton jacket.


    As soon as she touched little treasure''s thin arm, ye zhiqiao felt even more distressed and asked hurriedly, "Little treasure, haven''t you had a good meal these days? Why are you so thin again?"


    Little treasure was looking intently at the snow outside the window. She had never seen such a thick snow. She was so surprised that she did not hear what ye zhiqiao said at all. She just played along with her.


    Seeing this, gu mohan said, "After you left, she gradually lost her appetite. She refused to eat anything when I was on the plane."


    Ye zhiqiao was already dissatisfied with him as a father. Now that she heard that he still dared to complain, she said, "She''s still a child. If you don''t eat, feed her."


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and explained, "I did, and I was afraid that she didn''t like beef. I specifically ordered an extra piece of dried fruit and dessert from the flight attendant."


    "Did she eat?"


    "...


    Gu mohan shook his head and continued, "I also told her that aunt ye would only be happy if she ate something. Otherwise, she would feel that she was not good. I also said that as long as she ate well, she would buy her anything when she went out to play, but she refused to eat a bite."


    Ye zhiqiao sighed and said, "You have to take care of a child with your heart. You can''t treat her like an adult. If you knew she wouldn''t like the things on the plane, you should bring her something to eat in advance."


    "I..."


    Just as gu mohan was about to speak, ye zhiqiao interrupted, "You know better than anyone that little treasure''s health is not good. Why can''t you learn how to take care of her after all these years? If you had noticed the changes in little treasure''s body in advance, you wouldn''t have waited until now to bring her here. She''s almost as thin as when I first met her."


    "...


    Gu mohan lowered his head with his eyes lowered and did not reply.


    Ye zhiqiao was right. He didn''t take good care of little treasure and didn''t fulfill his responsibility as a father.


    Seeing that gu Mohan did not speak, ye zhiqiao stopped lecturing him and reached out to take out the cake she had just bought and fed it to little treasure one by one.


    When little treasure reached ye zhiqiao''s side, he was surprisingly obedient. He ate the cake bit by bit and then drank half a bottle of milk. Finally, he could not bear the heavy sleep and lay in ye zhiqiao''s arms and fell asleep.


    The next morning, ye zhi happened to get up before seven o'' clock, packed up and went directly to a large supermarket across the street.


    Early in the morning, the vegetables, fruits, snacks and milk in the supermarket were very fresh. Little treasure''s health was very bad now. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to take her out to eat local snacks for the time being, but wanted to make chinese food for her for a few days to recuperate her spleen and stomach.


    When ye zhiqiao returned to the hotel with two bags full of things, gu mohan had already gotten up with little treasure to wash up.


    Ye zhiqiao lived in a local Top Class Hotel. The suite was fully equipped with a gym and kitchen.


    She put everything in the kitchen first, leaving the ingredients for this morning, and the rest in the fridge.


    Just as he was about to change his clothes and start cooking, gu mohan came over with little treasure.


    "What are you doing?" Gu mohan asked.


    Ye zhiqiao was in a hurry to change her clothes, afraid that little treasure would be hungry later, so she casually replied, "You will know later."


    With that, she went into the bedroom. Just as she was about to close the door, little treasure slipped through the crack.


    "Aunt ye, may I come in?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you asking me when you come in?"


    Little treasure covered his mouth and chuckled, "Daddy can''t come in, but little treasure can come in."


    Then he giggled again.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her and the smile on her lips deepened.


    Gu mohan stood alone outside the door, feeling a sense of loss as he listened to the sounds of laughter and laughter.


    For breakfast, ye zhi cooked a thin meat porridge with preserved eggs, steamed a small steamed bun filled with cabbage, and put out a few small dishes that she made yesterday, and made three cups of soy milk.


    Little treasure was eating happily with a bun in his hand. When he saw the small dish in ye zhiqiao''s hand, he reached out to eat it and asked, "What is aunt ye? It smells so good!"


    Ye zhiqiao put the things on the table and ordered celery and carrots on the left and kelp on the right.


    Little treasure liked seafood very much. She also liked seaweed, which had the taste of the sea. She ate a lot of it until ye zhiqiao stopped her.


    Ye zhiqiao pointed to the porridge next to her and said, "Eat something hot. These small dishes can be eaten casually. It''s not good to eat too much."


    Then he looked at gu mohan, who was eating buns and reading the newspaper, and complained, "Look at her a little. I''m boiling soup in the pot. Why don''t you care?"


    Just as he was looking at the newspaper, he was suddenly reprimanded. Gu mohan was a little confused and said, "I don''t think these dishes have much weight. Little treasure knows what he wants."


    Ye zhiqiao said disapprovingly, "No matter how many numbers she has, she is still a child. Otherwise, how could she not eat before?"


    After that, regardless of gu mohan''s reaction, he sat directly next to little treasure and slowly fed her a bowl of porridge.


    "It''s not like little treasure doesn''t know anything now. She should be trained to be independent."


    Gu mohan suggested as he looked at ye zhiqiao''s movements.


    "...


    Seeing that the other party ignored him, he continued to ask, "Do you have any cold medicine here? I seem to have caught a cold last night, and my head is a little..."


    Gu mohan was only halfway through his sentence when ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered something and ran to the kitchen.


    Hoo -


    Gu mohan took a deep breath, then put down his things, took his coat and left the door.


    When they returned to the hotel last night, there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground of the city. Unexpectedly, it continued to fall overnight.


    There were workers on the street cleaning up the snow on the main road. Although the weather was cold, it was still leisurely and comfortable.


    Gu mohan walked among the passers-by, breathing in the fresh and cool air. He was much more clear-headed and felt better.


    Since arriving here last night, ye zhiqiao didn''t have a good look on his face. Previously, he didn''t take good care of little treasure. It was understandable for ye zhiqiao to be anxious and angry because of little treasure''s physical condition.


    But until now, ye zhiqiao had not even received a proper greeting, and the occasional conversation was one-sided blame for not taking care of little treasure.


    Gu mohan was really depressed. When had he ever been treated like this?


    Fortunately, he had sent someone to protect her. He had been worried about her situation every day in the country for so many days, for fear that she would suffer a little grievance, and in return, she was left out in the cold.

 Chapter 101 Where the Hell Are You?

    Gu mohan was walking alone on the street, and the boredom in his heart had just subsided a little. Suddenly, a bell rang in his pocket.


    He took out his phone and saw that it was ye zhiqiao calling. He thought that maybe she had left the house without saying hello and was worried, so she called to ask.


    Thinking of this, he smiled and picked up the phone.


    Ye zhiqiao''s tone was a little anxious, "Why did you take so long to answer it?"


    "Oh, I was on the street. I didn''t hear you at first..."


    Just halfway through the conversation, ye zhiqiao interrupted her directly.


    "Then you should come back quickly. The medicine that little treasure used to treat stomach disease is gone. There is a pharmacy on the road next to the hotel. You can buy it when you pass by."


    "I..."


    "Yeah, that''s it. Come on, she''s going to eat soon."


    Before gu mohan could say anything more, the other end of the phone had already hung up.


    Listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, gu mohan almost wanted to throw his phone directly into the snow on the side of the road.


    I thought I was calling to care about him, but I didn''t expect it to be because of little treasure. He knew that ye zhiqiao cared about little treasure. Didn''t he care? But was there no other relationship between him and ye zhiqiao besides little treasure?


    Ye zhiqiao used to help him tidy up his things. When he was tired from work, he would cook delicious food for him, but now?


    After returning to the hotel last night, he washed up and went to bed with little treasure. He threw him a room card next door and knocked on the door to wake him up just after dawn. He was asked to watch little treasure sleep.


    He also took care of most of his business day and night, flew over ten hours, and didn''t have time to rest all the way, taking care of his daughter, why can''t he care a little about him?


    Gu mohan took a deep breath, and the cold wind blew into his nose. He felt as if he was frozen by ice and snow.


    Although he felt ashamed to compete for favor with his daughter, gu mohan still couldn''t hide his dissatisfaction and disappointment. He couldn''t help but feel bad about ye zhiqiao''s neglect.


    Under this kind of psychological pressure, gu mohan did not listen to ye zhiqiao''s words and immediately bought the medicine back. Instead, he continued to walk along the street, preparing to walk around the corner in front of him for a week before walking back.


    This detour took a lot of time. By the time gu mohan returned to the hotel with a box of stomach medicine and a cool breath, an hour had passed since ye zhiqiao called.


    When ye zhiqiao opened the door, her face was not very good, so she took the medicine and walked directly into the room.


    "Didn''t I tell you to come back soon? Why is it so long? Little treasure will take this medicine in half an hour after eating."


    Ye zhiqiao still couldn''t hold back and complained about gu Mohan''s slow return.


    Before gu mohan could take off his coat, it was covered with tiny snow particles that melted in the heat and turned into water droplets.


    Not only his coat, but also his hair and shoes were dripping with water. In addition, his face and ears were flushed by the cold wind, making him look a little embarrassed.


    Not getting ye zhiqiao''s worry was fine, but it was actually a burst of resentment. Gu mohan was already angry in his heart, so he said unhappily, "It''s windy outside and the road is slippery. I will definitely walk slower."


    Ye zhiqiao flushed the pills with warm water and brought them to little treasure. After watching her drink them down, she continued, "Then won''t you take a taxi back? Besides, don''t you know how to watch the weather forecast? It''s snowing heavily today. You shouldn''t have gone out at all. And since little treasure just got here and didn''t bring many daily necessities with him, he definitely needs you to buy them at any time."


    Gu mohan frowned impatiently, took off his gloves and threw them on the sofa, "Don''t you know what time I arrived last night? I don''t have time to watch the weather forecast. Besides, what is there to buy in such a hurry?!"


    Ye zhiqiao lifted up the medicine box in her hand and said, "This medicine little treasure has to eat every day. If you forget to bring it over, shouldn''t you buy it? I called you an hour ago, but you didn''t come back until now."


    Gu mohan did not want to argue with her, but his heart was really unhappy. He tried not to let out his anger and his chest heaved violently.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that he was in a bad mood, but she really couldn''t understand why he was still angry at others when he did something wrong.


    So he ignored him, turned around and carried little treasure back to the bedroom to rest.


    Gu mohan was left hanging there again, his chest churning with anger, and finally kicked the sofa next to him hard. He took his coat and went back to his room next door.


    The two of them parted unhappily. Gu mohan did not appear in ye zhiqiao''s room for lunch and dinner. Ye zhiqiao asked xiao bao to call him once, but when xiao bao came back, he said that he was having a hotel reservation.


    Because ye zhiqiao was not happy about what happened this morning, she simply stopped caring about him.


    The next day.


    Gu mohan was in a bad mood and didn''t wake up until ten in the morning.


    He was just about to look at the time on his cell phone on the bedside table when he turned around and found little treasure sitting by the window looking out.


    Gu mohan was very strange. Xiao bao obviously slept with ye zhiqiao last night. Why did he appear here? He called xiao bao to ask.


    "Aunt ye brought me here after breakfast with me. She said she had something to do and told me to wake you up if I was hungry."


    Little treasure wrung his fingers and asked, "Dad, did you fight with aunt ye again?"


    Gu mohan couldn''t think of what ye zhiqiao was doing out there. He was a little worried, so he calmed little treasure and called ye zhiqiao.


    There was wind on the other end of the phone, obviously outside.


    Gu mohan asked, "Are you outside now? Where is it?"


    Yesterday, gu mohan''s performance was still vivid in his mind. Ye zhiqiao was a little angry with him and was not in the mood to talk to him.


    "Yes, what''s the matter? If it''s all right, I won''t go back at noon. There''s porridge in the kitchen, vegetables and meat in the fridge. You can make lunch for little treasure."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was about to hang up, gu mohan quickly asked again, "Where are you? Tell me first, tell me more."


    Who knew that ye zhiqiao completely ignored his meaning and said, "That''s it." Then he hung up.


    "Hello? - Hello?! -"


    There was a regular busy tone on the other end of the phone.


    Gu mohan slammed his phone onto the bed and reached out to rub his short hair.


    Just woke up, her mind was already very confused, ye zhiqiao deliberately did not say where she was, gu mohan was worried that it was not safe for her to wander outside alone, but there was nothing she could do, and his heart was suddenly anxious and angry.

 Chapter 102 Do You Deserve to Be Her Father?

    Although gu mohan was a little emotional, he still maintained the most basic analytical ability. Since ye zhiqiao refused to tell him, he had to use a roundabout strategy to ask about it from others.


    Jian mengqi was enjoying a rare rest day at home, sitting in bed with a pile of snacks, watching movies and swiping her phone.


    Gu mohan''s name suddenly appeared on the screen of her mobile phone, which was flipping through the entertainment gossip. She was shocked, and her mobile phone almost came out of her hand.


    She struggled to swallow the chips in her mouth before picking up the phone.


    Before he could say hello, gu mohan had already opened his mouth.


    "Jian mengqi, can you do me a favor?"


    You''re welcome!


    It was rare for jian mengqi to hear gu mohan''s polite and courteous tone, so she could not help but suspect her ears.


    "Master gu, did I hear you correctly? You can still ask me for help?"


    Gu mohan rarely asked for help, and he was a little embarrassed about what he wanted to know this time, so he cleared his throat and said, "Do you know where ye zhiqiao is now? I mean... Somewhere in Oslo."


    After asking, he could not help but sigh helplessly.


    This feeling was really not good. He had long regarded ye zhiqiao as someone close to him. He didn''t expect that he would actually ask for information about her from others now. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.


    When jian mengqi heard his question, she guessed that the two of them might have quarreled. She swallowed her sarcastic words.


    She turned on the computer in front of her and scrolled back through the messages on the social software.


    About an hour ago, she seemed to have actually seen a few photos posted on ye zhiqiao''s new account.


    Sure enough, a few pages later, he looked for the message.


    Jian mengqi said to gu mohan on the other end of the phone, "Zhiqiao just sent a few photos. I think they are in the ski resort, but the specific location is not shown. You may have to look for them yourself."


    After getting a hint from jian mengqi, gu mohan quickly guessed where ye zhiqiao was now.


    There was only one famous ski resort in oslo, and ye zhiqiao would definitely go to the best one when she first came to this city.


    Knowing the exact location, gu mohan quickly got up to wash up and change his clothes, and at the same time packed little treasure. He put some snacks like biscuits and milk in little treasure''s backpack to prevent her from getting hungry on the way.


    The father and daughter, one big and one small, soon left the hotel and took the bus that led directly to the ski resort.


    Today''s weather was good, the sun had long been absent from the city, and the snow on both sides of the road was about to melt, but the sunlight on the body did not make people feel as cold as the previous few days.


    The journey from the city to the ski resort was not very close. Along the way, he sat in his car and staggered. It was only when little treasure was about to fall asleep that the bus finally stopped.


    Gu mohan carried little treasure out of the car and followed them. When he looked up, he saw that his eyes were white.


    Little treasure was also amazed by the huge ski area, and the heavy sleep that had just started faded a little. Pulling gu mohan by the collar, he said, "Dad, let me down and go by myself. Let''s go together. Hurry up and go play with aunt ye."


    Hearing this, gu mohan put her on the ground calmly and tightened her neck. After asking her if she was hungry, he bought two tickets and walked into the ski resort.


    The ski resort covers a large area, and there is no limit at a glance. Because it has just snowed and the sky is clear, the number of tourists has suddenly increased. Looking for people here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    Just as gu mohan was looking at the distance with a frown, someone suddenly tugged at his sleeve.


    He looked down and saw that little treasure was pointing at a bench nearby and talking to him.


    "Dad, does that green hair look like aunt ye?"


    Gu mohan followed her finger and his eyes lit up.


    But then he subconsciously frowned.


    Little treasure continued to ask in a milky voice, "But who is the person sitting next to aunt ye?"


    Gu mohan only glanced at the man''s back and recognized that it was yichen. Then he saw the two of them sitting there looking at the scenery in the distance, talking and laughing from time to time.


    He had been looking for ye zhiqiao anxiously since he woke up in the morning. He finally found out where she was and took the bus with the child for nearly two hours to find her. He didn''t expect her to be with yi chen all the time.


    Gu mohan''s brows furrowed deeper and darker, and his eyes darkened. He took little treasure and walked quickly in the direction where ye zhiqiao was.


    Ye zhiqiao met yi chen when she went out in the morning. Both of them wanted to go to the ski area to exercise, so they came together. They had been snowing for a long time, and were very tired. Now they were sitting side by side on the bench to rest.


    Yi chen was pointing at a slope in the distance, telling her that it was the venue used for the olympic skiing competition.


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to ask, "Is that still going on..." Before she could finish her sentence, her arm was pulled up by a strong force.


    She was so frightened that she turned around quickly and looked aside.


    Gu mohan was standing there angrily, holding little treasure in his left hand and holding her arm tightly in his right.


    Ye zhiqiao opened her mouth in surprise and forgot her aching arm. She asked doubtfully, "Why are you here? Why did you bring little treasure? It''s so cold outside now!"


    Gu mohan did not answer her. He raised his eyelids and glanced at yi chen beside her. Then he took her arm and turned around to walk back.


    Yi chen quickly followed.


    Ye zhiqiao also began to struggle to pull back her arm and said loudly, "Let go of me! Gu mohan, what are you doing?!"


    Gu mohan ignored her screams and continued to walk quickly.


    Ye zhiqiao was anxious and angry. She didn''t know what was going on with this man.


    "Gu mohan, are you sick?! What''s the matter? Speak up!"


    Gu mohan still did not answer. Instead, seeing that yi chen was about to catch up, he quickened his pace.


    When little treasure came here by car, he was already drowsy and drowsy. When he came out, he felt a little dazed by the cold wind and his legs were thin and short. He had been jogging before to keep up with gu mohan.


    This time, gu mohan suddenly sped up. Her feet could not be reversed. Coupled with the slippery snow, her center of gravity was unstable. Suddenly, she leaned back and fell into the snow behind her.


    "Little treasure!"


    Seeing little treasure fall, ye zhiqiao''s heart wrenched violently.


    Yi chen just happened to catch up with him. He bent down a little and quickly picked up little treasure.


    When gu mohan saw that little treasure had fallen down, he was also worried that he couldn''t do it. He loosened his grip on ye zhiqiao and squatted down with ye zhiqiao to see how little treasure was doing.


    Fortunately, gu mohan had been holding little treasure''s hand all along, which acted as a buffer when she fell. Moreover, little treasure was wearing thick clothes and a hat.


    Ye zhi happened to check little treasure one after another and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she helped her wipe off the snow on her clothes.


    Then he stood up and glared at gu mo, who was full of remorse, and said coldly, "I don''t care what you''ve been looking for these days to drive you crazy, but little treasure is your child. Think about it carefully. Are you really a match for her father?!"


    "Zhiqiao... This time I..."


    Gu mohan''s anger had dissipated by the sudden fall of little treasure and his voice softened.


    But ye zhiqiao was angry and did not hear him admit his mistake. She snapped, "You don''t have to talk to me about this. I don''t want to hear it. Just be clear in your heart!"


    With that, ye zhiqiao picked up little treasure and left without looking back.

 Chapter 103 Gu Mohan Returned Late

    Seeing that ye zhiqiao had left, yi chen was about to follow, but gu mohan stopped him.


    "Stop!"


    Although gu mohan blamed himself for what happened just now and apologized to both xiao bao and ye zhiqiao, it didn''t mean that he could ignore yi chen''s thought-provoking actions.


    He walked up to yi chen and asked directly, "Why are you here?"


    Yi chen kicked the snow on the ground with his toes and replied uncomfortably, "Of course I''m here to travel, or what else can I do?"


    "Travel? Why did you choose the same place at the same time as ye zhiqiao?"


    Gu mohan narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing him.


    Yi chen did know that ye zhiqiao was coming here, so he bought the plane ticket without stopping. He felt guilty when gu mohan asked, but he said indifferently, "So what? Even if I came here with her on purpose, so what?"


    Gu mo laughed coldly and said, "Of course I can''t do anything to you, but you have said yourself that you enjoy the scandal with ye zhiqiao very much. You are very pleased with it. Then why don''t you continue to follow up in the country and why are you here?"


    "I... I''ve heard enough of those rumors. I was afraid that something would happen to zhiqiao if she was in a bad mood, so I specially came with her." Yi chen quipped.


    "Enough gossip?" Gu mohan''s face stiffened, his eyes darkened as he looked at the person in front of him, "If you''ve heard enough, you can choose not to listen. You don''t care about it. Have you ever considered how ye zhiqiao feels? That was the kind of voice she used to hear, not just rumors, but endless curses and curses. Where were you when she went through those times, you were still immersed in those rumors, and even let your brother, yi shaozhi, make those rumors worse and worse!"


    Gu mohan breathed heavily and his voice grew louder and louder, "Now you have the face to say that you are worried about her. Your feelings are really selfish and terrible. They are all men. I understand all your thoughts, but as far as what you have done, you are not worthy to stay by ye zhiqiao''s side!"


    After being scolded by gu mohan, yi chen''s face didn''t look good either. But it wasn''t just because gu mohan spoke badly, it was because he knew that he was in the wrong.


    At that time, gu mohan went to the company to find him and tell him what yi shaozhi had done. His actions were very thoughtless, which had something to do with his life. He had always been self-centered and put his feelings first.


    Looking up to see that gu mohan was still glaring at him, yi chen had no confidence to continue arguing with him, so he silently turned around and left in the opposite direction.


    After yi chen left, the sulk in gu mohan''s heart did not dissipate.


    Thinking that ye zhiqiao must have brought little treasure back to the hotel just now, if she had followed him back now, both of them would be angry and might have quarreled again.


    Gu mohan sighed weakly, walked to a bench by the roadside and sat down. He looked up at the snow in the distance, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at the clock on the wall and waited anxiously in the living room.


    It was already dark outside. At night, the north wind blew, and it might even snow. I don''t know where gu mohan went. Why hasn''t he come back yet?


    When ye zhiqiao came back in the afternoon, she was really angry. If she saw gu mohan again, she would have blamed him again.


    But when little treasure told her that gu mohan was worried about her and that she had asked jian mengqi to help her find someone, her anger dissipated. In the morning, she purposely went out without telling gu mohan where she was and was thinking of angering him. There was something wrong with what she did.


    And I heard that gu mohan didn''t eat in the morning. It was already noon when he arrived at the ski resort. He definitely wouldn''t eat either. Ye zhiqiao remembered that he said yesterday that he had a cold and was afraid that something would happen to him outside.


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Just as she was about to put on her coat and go out to look for it, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.


    When she opened the door and saw gu mohan standing outside with a paper bag in his hand, ye zhiqiao''s heart, which had been hanging, finally fell to the ground.


    "How did you get back?!" No longer worried, ye zhiqiao could not help but complain.


    Gu mohan heard her tone and thought she was still angry, so he said, "I walked around without paying attention to the time. If you want to rest, I will go back first."


    Then he turned around to leave, and ye zhiqiao reached out and grabbed him.


    "Haven''t you eaten tonight?"


    Gu mohan nodded.


    Ye zhi qiao gave him a look and said angrily, "You haven''t eaten all day and you''re walking around in such a strong wind. Because you fell little treasure during the day, you want to commit suicide because you''re afraid of crime, right?"


    The meaning of her complaint was obvious, but it was more obvious that she was concerned and worried.


    Gu mohan recognized it, and his eyes finally filled with a smile that he had not seen for a long time. He said in a low voice, "Didn''t I come back safely?"


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to say something more when she suddenly heard little treasure''s voice coming from the bedroom.


    She turned to gu Mohan and said, "Little treasure was waiting for you. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep. He must be awake now."


    After that, she walked back to the bedroom, and gu mohan followed her in.


    Little treasure was sitting on the big bed waiting for ye zhiqiao. When he saw gu Mohan following him, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Daddy, you are back. Aunt ye and I have been waiting for you for a long time. Aunt ye is in a hurry."


    Gu mohan took a deep look at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhi happened to be scalded by the temperature in his eyes, so she quickly pretended to look at little treasure and said casually, "I just slept too much last night. I''m not sleepy now."


    Knowing that she was embarrassed, gu mohan did not expose her. Instead, he raised the paper bag in his hand and waved it in front of him, "I have delicious food here, beef skewers and fried bananas."


    "I want to eat! I want to eat!"


    As soon as little treasure heard the delicious food, he immediately jumped out of bed and stuck his hand on gu mohan''s body. He looked straight into the bag.


    Gu mohan patted her on the butt and placed her firmly back on the bed. He took a fried banana from the paper bag and put it on the table, then handed the paper bag to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao liked beef, and beef skewers were a famous local snack. Gu mohan brought them back specially for her.


    Reaching out to take the things over, ye zhiqiao said in a low voice, "Thank you."


    She understood gu mohan''s intentions, and her heart went limp. All the previous dissatisfaction and anger disappeared with his intentions.

 Chapter 104 Flora Neal Park

    Ye zhiqiao took a small bite and slowly ate the supper that gu mohan had brought back specially. She felt as if a clear spring had flowed through her heart. The sound of ding dong made people happy and happy.


    She peeked out of the corner of her eye at gu mohan and saw him feeding little treasure attentively. He was very careful and his expression was full of love and affection.


    Ye zhi coincidentally remembered her attitude towards gu mohan these days and could not help but regret it. In fact, gu mohan''s intentions towards little treasure were beyond many fathers. Little treasure had no mother, and gu mohan was alone with his daughter. No matter how thoughtful and careful he was, he was still a man. Many times, he couldn''t be as thoughtful as a woman.


    Moreover, gu mohan was busy with his work, so it was impossible to spend all his time on little treasure. He had tried his best to bring the best things to little treasure.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao thought of gu mohan''s attitude towards her.


    Gu mohan''s personality was cold and aloof, even a little arrogant. From his usual interactions with his friends, it could be seen that even when dealing with Qin Baiye and jian mengqi, he always had a straight face, and occasionally even had to say a few cold words. Although they were all kind-hearted, but it was easy to create a sense of distance.


    However, gu mohan did not seem to have such an attitude towards her. Apart from meeting her at the beginning, and... And that night, he was angry for some unknown reason. As for the rest of the time, he never seemed to have a cold and hard attitude towards her, and he could even hear some soft words.


    For example, the events of the past few days, although gu mohan was wrong, her approach was not necessarily reasonable.


    However, gu mohan first chose to accept all her accusations and complaints in silence. Later on, he couldn''t help it. He only spoke in a bad tone occasionally, but he never lost his temper with her face to face. Even when she was deliberately in trouble, he was worried that she would be in danger and tried his best to find her.


    Ye zhiqiao put down the food in her hand and focused on gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was sitting at the head of the bed. The warm yellow light shone on his chiseled side face, making it seem that the cold feeling on his body had faded a lot. Instead, it was filled with a trace of fireworks, making people feel close and warm for no reason.


    This night, gu mohan did not go back to the next room, but slept in another bedroom where ye zhiqiao lived. The three rooms were adjacent, as if they had returned to gu mohan''s villa in china.


    It was the best night of sleep for gu mohan after he arrived in Norway. His previously troubled mood was swept away. He wanted to sleep in, but he was called up by ye zhiqiao at seven o'' clock.


    Gu mohan was urged by ye zhiqiao and xiao bao to wash up and eat breakfast, and then got on the bus to the western suburbs of Oslo.


    It was not until he was standing on the stone bridge in Neal park that gu mohan''s sleepiness finally subsided when he was blown by the fresh and cool breeze in the morning.


    Not long after the sun rose in the distance, there was a faint golden halo in the sky, and large clouds floated in the sky, looking beautiful and comfortable, somewhat unreal.


    The park had the most visitors during the spring and summer seasons, because it was the time when everything was reviving. The whole park was full of vitality, trees, flowers, and spring. At that time, it was like a fairytale paradise.


    Now, it was winter, and all the living scenes were covered with snow, and all the colors were buried in pure white. It might seem a little monotonous, but it could give people an extremely pure beauty.


    Obviously, ye zhiqiao was also immersed in this shocking simplicity.


    Gu mohan noticed that ye zhiqiao was focused on the scenery, and his eyes could not be moved.


    He looked at the figure standing quietly in the snow and thought that ye zhiqiao was no different from the pure world here. She gave people the feeling that she had no impurities, as if as long as he saw her, the shadow and twists in his heart could disappear, leaving only innocence and beauty.


    It was quiet all around. In this silence, gu mohan heard his heart beating rhythmically.


    "Dong - dong - dong -"


    The voice was not loud, but it made him feel a kind of inexplicable emotion that he had never experienced before.


    Walking down the stone bridge, ye zhiqiao took the two people to the center of the park.


    The sculptures in Norway are very famous. There is a sculpture in the center of this park. It is built in the center of the fountain.


    Before he could enter, he could hear the sound of spring water spraying.


    Little treasure liked this kind of pleasant voice, pulling ye zhiqiao to trot up, wanting to see this fountain as soon as possible, gu mohan also quickened his steps and followed closely.


    The three of them came to the pool, but their hurried footsteps suddenly stopped.


    The pool was very large, and in the middle stood a statue of a human body, holding a huge copper plate in its hand. A clear spring water was sprayed from the plate, falling evenly in all directions. The lifelike statue was covered with a layer of mist, like a veil, adding a kind of mystery and haziness.


    At this time, yi chen was standing in front of the fountain, looking at the statue carefully.


    Sensing the sight behind him, he subconsciously turned around and saw three people standing behind him.


    Because of yesterday''s sudden departure, ye zhiqiao was a little embarrassed and apologetic, so she wanted to go forward and say hello to yi chen.


    He didn''t expect gu mohan to move faster, so he stepped out and stopped ye zhiqiao behind him.


    Yi chen had already walked over and chuckled when he saw gu mohan''s movements. Then he greeted ye zhiqiao and said, "Are you here to play too?"


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to speak, gu mohan took the lead and said, "It has nothing to do with you that we are here. You should leave as soon as you are done."


    Yesterday, yi chen and ye zhiqiao were still talking and laughing, and his ambiguous attitude towards ye zhiqiao made gu mohan have no good feelings for him, and he absolutely did not want ye zhiqiao to have any contact with him.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that gu mohan spoke in such a rush tone the moment he came up and felt that his attitude towards yi chen was really bad, so she hurriedly made up her mind and said, "I checked on the internet yesterday and found that the evaluation of this park is good, so I wanted to come here to take a look. I didn''t expect such a coincidence that you actually came here."


    Seeing that she was talking to him, yi chen nodded slightly as an answer, then looked at gu mohan who was glaring at him.


    "This is not your gu family business. It''s not up to you whether I leave or not."


    Yesterday at the ski resort, gu mohan said something rude to him and gave him a good scolding. He was somewhat in the wrong, so he did not argue with gu mohan, but he still had anger in his heart.


    When we meet again today, gu mohan is still so provocative. He will not let him be as presumptuous as he was yesterday.


    Gu mohan looked back at ye zhiqiao and warned coldly, "I really don''t care if you go or not, but if you come closer to her again, don''t blame me for being rude."


    "Ha!" Yi chen sneered and said, "I really want to see how rude young master gu can be."

 Chapter 105 Gu Mohan Was in a Dangerous Fight

    Seeing that the two were at daggers drawn, as if they were about to quarrel, ye zhiqiao hurriedly pulled little treasure between them and said to gu mohan, "You can do it. Little treasure is still here. You fell down yesterday. Do you still have to fight in front of her today?"


    Then he turned to yi chen and said, "I''m sorry, yi chen. We''re disturbing your mood for fun. Don''t take it to heart. I..."


    "What are you talking about?!"


    Originally, after ye zhiqiao''s reminder, gu mohan thought that little treasure was still around to watch, so he did not intend to argue with yi chen anymore, but then he actually heard ye zhiqiao run to apologize to him, and felt very uncomfortable, so he quickly opened his mouth to stop him.


    "I don''t know who''s bothering who. You''re always following others like a dog''s skin cream. How can you apologize to them?"


    Yi chen took a step forward, walked to ye zhiqiao''s side, and said provocatively to gu mohan, "You said I was a dog skin plaster? Well, so what if I am? Today, I just happened to follow ye zhi. I''ll go wherever she goes!"


    "You!" Gu mohan frowned and stared at him with a heavy expression." How dare you?" He snapped.!"


    Yi chen raised his chest, raised his eyebrows and said, "I just dare!"


    "You two are done!"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t bear to hear the two men arguing over these meaningless things, so she interrupted with annoyance, "If you two want to continue playing, just follow quietly. If you don''t want to, just leave quickly. Don''t quarrel here."


    With that, ye zhiqiao took little treasure''s hand and walked to the far path, ignoring the two of them.


    Gu mohan and yi chen stood there for a moment, then looked at each other and quickly turned around to catch up. They seemed to be in a competition and had to leave each other behind.


    On this day, yi chen had been with ye zhiqiao all day.


    During this period, gu mohan and yi chen continued to squabble, no matter the big or small things, they had to fight each other. Ye zhiqiao was occasionally annoyed to stop them, but only for a moment of peace.


    The next day, ye zhiqiao was scheduled to go out to play. This time, gu mohan did not sleep late, so he got up early and ran out with ye zhiqiao and xiao bao.


    It was not until he got on the bus that gu mohan''s heart finally relaxed.


    Today, they are going to the children''s paradise. As long as they are sure to be unprepared for the dust when they go out, there is absolutely no chance to meet by chance.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what he was thinking. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she simply let him play with little treasure, while she slept in her seat.


    Gu mohan was immersed in the fantasy that the three of them would have a good time today. He did not notice that behind the bus he was riding, a taxi was following closely.


    When he arrived at the children''s park, little treasure was obviously more excited than yesterday. He took ye zhiqiao''s hand and looked around. He was very interested.


    Ahead was a children''s playground with all kinds of entertainment equipment and stalls selling snacks and toys. After little treasure found out, he ran over there with joy. Ye zhiqiao was afraid that she would lose it, so she quickly trotted after him.


    Finally catching up with little treasure who rushed into the crowd, ye zhiqiao suddenly found that the cell phone in her pocket fell on the road she had just run to, so she pulled little treasure back to pick it up.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up her phone and was about to stand up when her eyes suddenly froze as she looked up.


    Gu mohan, who followed the two of them, noticed ye zhiqiao''s abnormality. He turned his head along with her eyes and searched the crowd, clenching his hands into fists.


    Standing in front of a cartoon figurine in the distance, he looked straight at himself with a smug smile. Who was yi chen?!


    Gu mohan did not expect to be followed by him after all precautions. He walked straight to his place with a raging rage.


    Yi chen stood still, waiting for him to come over.


    "Are you still a man? You even follow such a sneaky thing?!" Gu mohan cursed directly when he came over.


    Yi chen grunted and asked, "You were afraid of being discovered when you left the house early in the morning. Didn''t you also leave secretly? Are you a man?"


    "That''s because you keep interrupting our outing!"


    As foreign children with blue eyes and high noses walked by, it was inevitable to take a few more glances at the two chinese who were in a confrontation.


    Yi chen laughed as if he had heard some big joke and said, "I''m disturbing you? The day before yesterday, zhiqiao and I were having a good time at the ski resort. Who disturbed us? Who was bothering me yesterday when I was looking at the statue by myself in the park?!"


    Gu mohan gritted his teeth and stared at him, "That''s because what you did before was looked down upon!"


    "Even if there was something wrong with what I did before, then there should be zhiqiao. What are you? What right do you have to say that to me?!"


    "I''m with ye zhiqiao!"


    "Forget it, gu mohan." Yi chen looked at ye zhiqiao who was walking over quickly in the distance and whispered, "She didn''t say she was with you. Who does she belong to in the end? I don''t know yet!"


    Seeing ye zhiqiao getting closer and closer, yi chen pressed against gu mohan''s ear and whispered, "You don''t really have that much confidence that she would like a man with a small oil bottle, do you?"


    A mop?!


    Hearing these three words, gu mohan''s anger was even more intense than before.


    Ever since little treasure was young, he had felt sorry for her for not having a mother. He wanted to make up for all the best things in the world. He never allowed anyone to talk about little treasure''s mother, for fear that she would be a little sad.


    But now, yi chen actually dared to use such words to describe his beloved daughter?!


    Gu mohan''s eyes were burning with anger, his hands clenched into fists and he raised his arm to swing at yi chen.


    Yi chen also had the idea of a big fight with him, and at the same time, he also swung his fist and swung it over.


    "Stop!!"


    When ye zhiqiao saw that the two were about to fight, she quickly let go of little treasure and ran to gu mohan to pull him back.


    At the same time, he called out his name to calm him down.


    When gu mohan saw ye zhiqiao coming over, he immediately withdrew his strength for fear of hurting her by mistake.


    Yi chen was the same. Although he still glared at gu mohan with hatred, he slowly put his hand down.


    Ye zhiqiao had always thought that these two people just didn''t like each other, and that they were just quarreling with each other, but she didn''t expect that their relationship had already reached the point of fighting.


    She looked at the two of them with hatred, then took little treasure''s hand and said, "Today is to play with little treasure. Even if you two adults can''t make her happy, don''t make her a bad example, okay? It''s obviously not a big deal, and you two, together, are 50 years old, fighting here?"

 Chapter 106 Little Treasure Had the Highest Status

    Little treasure tilted her head and looked back and forth at gu mohan and yi chen. She was curious. Her father had always been calm. Why did he fight with this uncle in front of her? Is it for aunt ye?


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and said patiently, "Just now, little treasure wanted to play on the swing. When he saw another child sitting on it, he wanted to come over with someone. He was angry at her and wanted to grab it. I think your behavior just now is similar to that of a five-year-old little treasure."


    After saying that, she felt little treasure pull her sleeve and look at her with an aggrieved look. She understood what little treasure meant, and then said, "Oh right, you''re not as good as little treasure. After I talked to little treasure, she obediently played with that little friend. Unlike you, she still looks angry."


    Being compared to his own daughter, gu mohan was a little embarrassed, so he bent over and took little treasure into his arms, explaining, "I was a little impulsive just now, but now I don''t. I... Usually don''t do this."


    "Me too." Yi chen hurriedly came up and admitted his mistake, "I''m usually a very easygoing person. You must know that I don''t know the average person as well."


    Gu mohan took advantage of ye zhiqiao''s inattention and secretly glared at him.


    Yi chen stared back without showing any weakness.


    "That''s more like it." Without noticing their little movements, ye zhiqiao saw that the two of them had calmed down, so she was relieved.


    With that said, she happened to see a place in front of her to take photos of the tourists, so she took little treasure from gu mohan''s hands, called him and yi chen, and prepared to take a picture together.


    The photographer was a chinese from all walks of life. Although he had lived abroad for a long time, he was still very friendly to the chinese.


    He was busy helping a few people adjust their positions and refused to accept any money.


    Ye zhiqiao must be standing in the middle, holding little treasure in her arms.


    Gu Mohan and yi chen were secretly fighting over who was closer to ye zhiqiao.


    Because ye zhiqiao held little treasure on her left hand, the person standing on her left would definitely be a little distance away from her, so both of them would squeeze into the position on her right.


    Ye zhiqiao stood still for a long time, her hands were a little sore. Seeing that the photographer was still not taking pictures, she picked up little treasure and put it in her right hand.


    This movement of hers did not matter. Gu mohan, who had not snatched yi chen just now, had a chance when he was pushed to the outside. He darted to ye zhiqiao''s left and looked at the camera with crooked eyes and brows.


    Yi chen quickly looked to the other side, but it was too late.


    The photographer finally seized the opportunity and shouted, "Three - two -"


    When he counted to one, yi chen quickly turned around, then saw a white light flash, and a "Click" sounded.


    When he got the photo, he saw a shadow on the side of his head. Yi chen was not satisfied and insisted on taking it again.


    With a smug smile, gu mohan refused, "What kind of photos are you taking? The background is not good. It won''t look good if you take them a few more times."


    Yi chen just wanted to reply, ye zhiqiao also advised him: "The photographer refused to accept money no matter what, can''t let others take another picture, this one is also very good, that little flaw can''t be seen without careful consideration."


    Ye zhiqiao said so, so yi chen had to calm down and swallow back his unhappiness.


    Little treasure was lively and lively. After being held by ye zhiqiao for such a long time, he couldn''t wait any longer. Seeing the merry-go-round ahead, he immediately coquettishly said to ye zhiqiao, "Auntie ye, I want to ride a horse, that beautiful horse."


    Because little treasure was still young and not in good health, many amusement facilities were not suitable for her, but the carousel was a rare item that could let her sit on it to play. Ye zhiqiao immediately agreed and carried her directly to buy tickets.


    Gu mohan and yi chen were still bickering with each other over the photo. They felt that the surroundings had suddenly quieted down and turned around to look. They found that ye zhiqiao had already left them behind and carried little treasure far away.


    Ignoring their bickering, the two of them hurried after him.


    Ye zhiqiao had already put little treasure on the back of a pink pony, and she was sitting on a white horse outside the pony.


    With the sound of a bell, the cheerful single syllable music hovered around, and the dreamy horses decorated in all shapes and sizes began to roll up and down.


    Little treasure was dancing on the horse''s back and giggling. Ye zhiqiao reminded her to be careful, then she deliberately stretched out two thin and short arms, hugged the horse''s neck, and called softly, "Aunt ye, help, little treasure is afraid."


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that although she was crying out in fear, there was a sly smile in her eyes, and she couldn''t help but be amused by this little clever ghost.


    But she immediately put away her smile and said rather helplessly, "What should I do? Auntie ye is scared too."


    Little treasure immediately sat up straight and handed her hand to ye zhiqiao, "Auntie ye, don''t be afraid. Little treasure will protect you!"


    At this moment, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help it any longer. One hand reached out to hold little treasure''s hand, the other hand covered her mouth, shaking her shoulders and laughing.


    Gu mohan and yi chen stood outside the fence and looked at the interaction between big and small, sighing deeply together.


    The two of them heard each other''s sigh and subconsciously turned to look at each other. For the first time, they did not glare at each other and turned their heads away hatefully, but at the same time, they had a feeling of mutual helplessness.


    Thinking about how much effort they had to put into each other every day to gain ye zhiqiao''s attention and favor, they were obviously arrogant and used to being arrogant rich young masters, but they had to quarrel with each other like a little boy in front of ye zhiqiao, and in the end, they would inevitably receive ye zhiqiao''s "White eyes."


    But how could little treasure be so happy? No matter what she did, ye zhiqiao looked at her face full of indulgence and praised her for being clever and cute. Even if she didn''t do anything, she had to praise her for being clever and sensible. All day long, ye zhiqiao''s eyes were almost glued to little treasure. Originally, little treasure''s status was the highest.


    Thinking of this, the two of them sighed in unison.


    "Hey, how did you teach little treasure to be so likable? Can you teach me as well?" Yi chen asked rather dejectedly.


    Gu mohan glanced at him, then looked back at the woman who was enjoying herself on the merry-go-round and said in a speechless voice, "If I had known I had learned it by myself, would it be your turn to ask?"


    "Ah--"


    Another melancholic sigh.

 Chapter 107 Gu Mohan Rushed Back to China

    After ye zhiqiao and little treasure got off the merry-go-round, they played a few safe entertainment events. Gu mohan and yi chen continued to follow behind as flower guardians, and it was not long before lunch time.


    Ye zhiqiao had originally planned to take little treasure with gu mohan to a nearby restaurant to try out the local specialties, so now she had to add yi chen as her follower.


    A group of people came to the restaurant that ye zhiqiao had reserved the night before. Just as they sat down, gu mohan received an email.


    Before he left, he specifically told the people in the company to send an email report if anything happened, so he checked his email every day.


    Qin ning sent the email, saying that the company''s financial assets suddenly had a big problem, the situation was urgent, and the situation was more serious, it was necessary to disturb his schedule, and asked him to return home as soon as possible to deal with it.


    Gu mohan was a little surprised at first, because in terms of gu''s capital capacity and scope of involvement, the financial sector has always been in a dynamic state of balance. The foundation of the gu family was very stable and there had never been any major problems in this area.


    But qin ning was his most trusted assistant, and there was no way he could have sent the wrong message.


    Gu mohan''s heart was heavy. It seemed that he had to go back this time.


    He looked up at yi chen, who was ordering for ye zhiqiao. He couldn''t help but worry about letting the man with ill intentions meet ye zhiqiao day and night. He got up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.


    Yi chen''s face was full of unhappiness and complained, "Young master gu, you even have to go to the toilet with someone. Are you a woman?"


    After the "Mutual affection" just now, the two of them were not like before, they would start fighting when they met, but they still looked at each other with disdain and had to choke each other in order to be reconciled.


    Gu mohan was in a hurry, so he didn''t have time to argue with him. He said directly, "I have something to do now. I have to go back to china. You..."


    Before he finished speaking, yi chen immediately showed a surprised expression and asked gloating, "Are you going back? It''s okay. Don''t worry. I''ll take good care of zhiqiao."


    "Yichen!" Gu mohan raised his hand to grab his collar and forced him to the corner. He warned in a deep voice, "After I leave, you leave me far away from ye zhiqiao. If you do something out of line while I''m away, see how I deal with you!"


    "You''re not here anymore, and you still want to take care of me? Cut!"


    Yi chen reached out to pull gu Mohan''s arm. Gu mohan did not move and stared at him fiercely like a wolf.


    "Sure." On the surface, yi chen agreed helplessly, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed with joy.


    When gu mohan left, he would stick to ye zhiqiao as much as he wanted, so he didn''t have to be so quick at this moment.


    "I promise you, okay! Don''t let go yet. My young master''s high quality shirt has caused your paws to wrinkle."


    "You better keep your word!" Gu mohan glared at him again and released his hand.


    He also did not have time to continue to spend here, and later, he had to tell ye zhiqiao and little treasure about the situation, and then immediately had to rush back to the country.


    Ye zhiqiao was feeding little treasure a vegetable salad. Seeing that gu mohan was the only one who came back, she asked, "Where is yi chen?"


    Gu mohan thought of being ordered to go out for a walk, giving himself and ye zhiqiao time to say goodbye. He snorted coldly and said, "Maybe he fell in the bathroom."


    Ye zhiqiao narrowed her eyes and smiled.


    Gu mohan sat back in his seat and told ye zhiqiao what happened at the company in a language as simple as possible.


    "I''m going straight to the airport and take the nearest flight back."


    Before ye zhiqiao could speak, little treasure said, "But what should I do? I..."


    Gu mohan stroked his daughter''s head and said, "Daddy left in a hurry and couldn''t take care of you when he got home. Can you stay here with aunt ye for the time being?"


    Little treasure originally wanted to play with ye zhiqiao more, so the arrangement was just right for her, so she immediately agreed, then lowered her head and continued to eat quietly, without disturbing her father and aunt ye to talk about things.


    Only then did ye zhiqiao ask the question in her heart, "It''s not a big deal to be in such a hurry to go back, is it? Can you do it alone?"


    "I just need a decision-maker in charge of the overall situation. It''s okay."


    Hearing what he said, ye zhiqiao finally relaxed and agreed, "That''s good."


    Gu mohan was a little apologetic and said apologetically, "I was supposed to play with you and little treasure for a few more days."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head, "It doesn''t matter. I know it''s not easy for you to take the time to come over these days. The company must be in a mess. You can go back at ease."


    Gu mohan understood and was touched by ye zhiqiao''s concern and understanding, but he was always worried about leaving ye zhiqiao alone, afraid that she would encounter something unexpected that could not be handled.


    Thinking of this, he took out a check for 500,000 yuan from his wallet and said to ye zhiqiao, "I came here with cards, not much money and checks. You take this first, and I''ll give you some money when I get back."


    Ye zhiqiao was somewhat inexplicable and quickly refused, "I have money. I don''t need to spend yours. Take it back."


    "You don''t want any money?" Gu mohan was amused, but then said seriously, "I don''t mean anything by giving you money. I know you have money, but it''s not safe for you to be alone abroad with your child. It''s necessary to bring more money with you."


    What he said made sense, and he probably couldn''t be at ease if he didn''t want the money. Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a moment and then reached out to take it.


    "At the worst, just return it to him when you get back." Ye zhiqiao thought secretly.


    Gu mohan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she had taken the money. Then he looked at little treasure, who was buried in his meal, and said, "Little treasure is going to be taken care of by you again. I was frightened by her relapse a while ago, but I saw that she became very lively as soon as she arrived at your side. You will definitely take care of her, right?"


    Knowing that what gu mohan was most worried about was little treasure, ye zhiqiao was especially serious about little treasure.


    She sat up straight, her neck and jaw lines taut, and said solemnly, "I swear by my character that I will definitely complete the task. When you see little treasure again, you will definitely find her white and fat, healthy!"


    Gu mohan looked at her "Solemn" expression as if she was about to take an oath. He could not help but laugh. His gloomy mood had also faded a lot.


    Touching her head, she comforted, "You don''t have to promise me that. I believe you."


    After everything was told, gu mohan said goodbye to the two for the last time, then left the restaurant and embarked on the journey back home.

 Chapter 108 Yi Shaozhis Purpose

    After returning home, gu mohan did not arrive home, but went straight to the company.


    Immediately, the person in charge was called in to ask for details.


    Manager wang had been worried about this sudden problem for the past few days. He had not slept well for several days, and his face turned slightly green when he came over.


    Gu mohan asked him to sit down and comfort him that he had worked hard these days.


    Manager wang still frowned, waved his hand and said, "It''s nothing hard. The main thing is that things have not been resolved. And until now, I and my staff can not even find the cause of the incident. I am ashamed!"


    Gu mohan could not help but get nervous when he saw that the elder, who had worked in the company for more than 20 years and had never been stumped by any problems, was so worried.


    "Tell me the details first."


    Manager wang nodded and said slowly, "Since about five days ago, I found that the company''s stock has been declining, but you also know that it is normal for the stock to rise or fall slightly, so although I noticed it, I didn''t pay much attention. But since yesterday morning, there has been a huge drop in gu''s stock, and the decline has been sustained."


    "I brought the staff along to find out why, and I wanted to wait and see if there would be a recovery, but by noon, this situation had not improved. I really had no choice but to ask assistant qin to bring you back."


    Gu mohan understood the situation and asked, "Have you heard about it from other partners?"


    "I understand." Manager wang handed him a report that he had brought over and said, "Superiors, colleagues, and various branches have already investigated all the places you can find out, but there is still no clue."


    Gu mohan carefully flipped over the bodyguard in his hand. The data above proved that manager wang was right.


    "Okay, I see. You take a break and continue to observe the situation. I''ll handle the rest."


    After sending manager wang away, gu mohan leaned back in his chair and pressed his temples. The overnight flight had already exhausted him, but the situation at the company was even more troubling.


    He wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, but his heart was restless and he could not sit still. After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to find a good friend, Qin Baiye, to think of a way.


    Qin Baiye was quick-witted and had a lot of resources in his hands, so he might be able to find a different direction.


    Gu mohan went straight to Qin Baiye''s house and saw him reading the stock information.


    Seeing that he was here, Qin Baiye asked the maid to make the best coffee and serve it up, "I knew you must be in this state right now. How is it? This problem is too troublesome?"


    Gu mohan took a deep breath, then picked up most of his coffee and asked with a frown, "You know all about it? Do you have any thoughts?"


    Qin Baiye nodded and pointed to the direction of the stock, "There are only a few factors that cause the stock to fall. Aside from those that will definitely not go wrong, the rest is the gu company itself, industry competition and market factors."


    "There''s nothing wrong with gu''s. Both the old and new projects are carried out in an orderly manner."


    Gu mohan tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically and muttered to himself, "And with gu''s current development, there are very few companies that can compete with it. There is also the market. Unless someone deliberately manipulates it, this will never happen, but who has the ability to do so?"


    "What if we add them up?" Qin Baiye looked at gu mohan with deep meaning.


    "You mean..."


    Qin Baiye nodded and made his own conjecture, "From what I''ve seen, there must be someone behind all this. He has a company as good as gu''s and is willing to spend money to monopolize the market. Is there anyone like him... Around you?"


    Gu mohan''s face darkened, his fingers crossed under his chin, his eyes closed and he pondered.


    What Qin Baiye said is very likely, and if that''s the case, the person behind the scenes must have some purpose, then it must be someone he knows.


    "Snap!"


    Gu mohan slammed the table, thanked Qin Baiye in surprise, and left Qin Baiye''s house in a hurry.


    Sitting in the car, the mess in gu mohan''s mind was finally cleared up.


    With a powerful company, enough funds in hand, and with a certain purpose, the person who knows him- yi shaozhi!


    The last time ye zhiqiao''s negative news was under his control, it became more and more intense. At that time, gu mohan was still unable to understand his mind, and now he finally understood it completely.


    Whether it was negative news or the stock price decline, yi shaozhi''s ultimate goal was to create an opportunity for yi chen to get close to ye zhiqiao!


    Yi shaozhi must have learned about yi chen and his trip to Oslo, and knew that he had blocked yi chen''s plan to pursue ye zhiqiao, so he planned this, in order to lure him back to china.


    "Squeak-"


    Gu mohan slammed on the brakes, slammed the car across the Yi''s door, then pushed the door open and barged in.


    The receptionist saw his aggressive appearance and quickly stepped forward to stop him.


    Gu mohan ignored her and took the elevator upstairs. He recognized yi shaozhi''s office and walked straight up.


    The secretary recognized his identity, but quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, I''ll go in and inform you."


    Gu mohan did not stop and said coldly, "I want to see your president, yi shaozhi, right away."


    "Let him in." Yi shaozhi heard the noise outside and shouted in the office.


    Seeing gu mohan''s dark face, yi shaozhi immediately thought that he had guessed the truth. Although he knew that he would know in the end, he did not expect it to be so soon.


    "Why is president gu free to come today..."


    Yi shaozhi wanted to be polite, but gu mohan interrupted, "I know everything that yi has done behind his back. You and I don''t have to keep beating around the bush. You did all these things for yi chen, didn''t you?"


    Yi shaozhi was not angry at being exposed. He smiled kindly and said, "It''s just a woman. Her brother is still young and likes to play around. I hope you don''t mind. We can discuss your company."


    "There''s nothing to discuss!" Gu mohan tossed the tea from his secretary to the ground and stared down at yi shaozhi, who was sitting on the office chair. He said word for word, "Ye zhiqiao happens to be my man. You''d better let your brother die. It''s not a big deal. If your brother uses this sinister trick for a third time, I will make your precious brother pay the price!!"

 Chapter 109 Ye Zhiqiao Was Robbed

    Gu mohan left yi shaozhi and returned to the company to continue working overtime.


    On the other side, after gu mohan left, ye zhiqiao finished eating with little treasure and continued to play in the scenic area. Without gu mohan''s restriction, yi chen followed ye zhiqiao even more recklessly.


    There was a lake in front of it, and there was a thick layer of snow near the shore, but in the middle of the lake, there were rows of black and white swans slowly rowing on it, looking at ease.


    Little treasure pulled ye zhiqiao to say that he wanted to see it. Yi chen interjected, "What''s so good about that silly bird? Let''s go to the right. There are a lot of snacks over there. There seems to be a bar. How about we go there and play?"


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at him and said, "How can little treasure go to a place like that? If you want to go, you can go by yourself. Just in time, let''s split up here. Don''t follow us anymore."


    She had long felt that Louis was so noisy and annoying that she wanted to drive him away.


    Yi chen hurriedly returned to ye zhiqiao''s side and said, "Actually, I think that... It''s good to look at the little animals. It''s good to cultivate one''s feelings!"


    "Didn''t you say you wanted to..."


    "Aye! All right, all right, let''s go, let''s go." Yi chen interrupted ye zhiqiao and pushed her back forward.


    Ye zhiqiao twisted her body to avoid his touch. She was annoyed that he was following her endlessly, but there was no way to stop him. She had to take little treasure and walk faster, leaving him behind.


    To get to the lake, they had to go through a forest.


    There were a few artificial paved stone roads in the forest, and a layer of snow fell on them. It seemed that very few people had passed through here recently.


    It was also true that there were trees all around, so there was nothing to look at. Even in the summer when the trees were full of leaves, there were still some mosquitoes barking.


    The rest of the scenic area was full of bright and beautiful scenery, and the woods here seemed a little out of place. No wonder no one had come to see a tourist. If it wasn''t for little treasure who wanted to go around to see the swans, ye zhiqiao would never have wanted to come here.


    When she heard that little treasure was sniffling, she took out the toilet paper and squatted down to wipe his nose. At the same time, she looked at the dust that had been following behind her and walked unhurriedly.


    Just as ye zhiqiao wanted to give him a white look, she suddenly saw him looking behind her in panic and shouting, "Come back! Ye zhiqiao ran back!!"


    As he spoke, yi chen had already spread his legs and ran towards him.


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously turned her head to take a look. This glance scared her so much that she almost bit her tongue.


    Behind her, there were three men who could not see clearly. They were running towards her with hats and masks, and they were very close. They looked less than five meters away. One of them had a knife in his hand!


    Ye zhiqiao''s first reaction was to pick up little treasure, and just as she was about to run forward, her shoulder was already gripped tightly by a big, pincer-like hand.


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to shout for help, but she turned around and found that they were in the deep forest, far away from the crowd. Even if she screamed, no one would hear her.


    The three men obviously noticed that yi chen, who was running this way, knew the woman they caught and immediately dragged ye zhiqiao along the way.


    Ye zhiqiao tightly protected the little treasure in her arms and had no spare strength to resist.


    Yi chen had already chased after him. He jumped up and kicked the man who ran to the end.


    The man cursed in a foreign language, then stopped and punched yi chen back. Yi chen would dodge, then he went around the man and grabbed ye zhiqiao''s arm, which was holding little treasure.


    The two men who were dragging ye zhiqiao also turned around and let go of ye zhiqiao''s hand temporarily. The three men gathered together and focused on dealing with yi chen.


    Yi chen had learned taekwondo before, and his level was not low. Except for one who was slightly stronger, the other two were thin, like two thin monkeys.


    If it was a one-on-one fight, yi chen could definitely win, but after all, two fists were difficult to defeat four hands, the four of them struggled for a while, yi chen''s face was also colored.


    Ye zhiqiao stood aside with little treasure in her arms, afraid that she would be frightened, so she kept covering her eyes with her hands and couldn''t help. In fact, even if there was no little treasure, she would not be able to help much. She probably went over, but it would only cause trouble for yi chen.


    But she did not dare to leave to call for help, for fear that if she was knocked out and taken away, she would not know where to look.


    After ye zhiqiao''s initial panic, she gradually calmed down.


    Shaking her hands, she took out her cell phone from her backpack and was about to call the police.


    The three men saw that ye zhiqiao was going to call the police, and yi chen was obviously running out of strength, but there was no intention of retreating. They looked at each other, and the man holding the knife tilted the knife in his hand, blocking yi chen. The three of them ran towards the path behind them.


    Seeing that the three men had left, ye zhiqiao rushed to yi chen''s side to check on his injuries.


    Yi chen seemed to have lost his strength and slipped to the ground. He leaned against the tree trunk with his hands hanging down beside him.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that his face was bruised and swollen, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. She was so scared that she quickly pulled him up to go to the hospital.


    Yi chen was so tired that he waved his hand and said weakly, "Wait... Wait... I''ll take a break... Take a break..."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her eyes slid down his hand and she was shocked again.


    The snow on yi chen''s right hand was already wet from dizziness and covered with blood red.


    "You... What happened to your hand?" Ye zhiqiao pulled up his right hand trembling and saw a deep wound on his palm.


    Yi chen glanced at him and said slowly, "Just now... That kid with a knife... It''s okay."


    Ye zhiqiao refused to listen to him anymore. She held his armpit and propped him up a little. Then she put his arm on her shoulder and put one hand around his waist. She gasped and said, "Hold on. We have to go to the hospital immediately."


    Then he said to little treasure, "Pull auntie ye''s backpack and don''t let go. We have to hurry and take uncle yi to the hospital. He''s hurt."


    Little treasure obediently grabbed his backpack and looked at yi chen worriedly.


    The three of them staggered out of the woods and were lucky enough to find a taxi directly, then asked the driver to drive to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.

 Chapter 110 Yi Chens Confession

    The emergency doctor carefully examined yi chen and told him that the other parts of his body were all skin injuries. He could simply apply medicine, but the knife wound on his palm was a little deep, so he needed to take a picture to see if there were any injuries to his muscles and bones.


    Ye zhiqiao accompanied yi chen to disinfect and apply medicine. After temporarily stopping the blood, she waited with him on the bench in the corridor for the results of the film.


    After what happened just now, little treasure was too tired to hold on, so he slept on ye zhiqiao''s leg.


    Ye zhiqiao gently patted her shoulder and hummed a small tune to comfort her.


    The window at the end of the corridor threw in a large amount of sunlight. The setting sun was like blood, and it hit ye zhiqiao''s side face with spots.


    Yi chen looked at her cheek, and the pain in his palm seemed to have eased a lot.


    "Zhiqiao." After a long time, he called her in a low voice.


    Ye zhiqiao thought he was not feeling well, so she quickly asked, "Does your hand hurt?"


    Yi chen shook his head and said, "My hand is fine, but I... Have something to tell you."


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head and waited for his next words.


    Yi chen chuckled and then said slowly, "Actually, I am not a very good person. I am honest, kind, and helpful. I will never do these things."


    Ye zhiqiao had a vague premonition of what he was going to say, and her heart suddenly tightened.


    Sure enough, yi chen continued, "But when I saw you being kidnapped today, my mind went blank. I couldn''t think of anything. Just one thought - was to save you. I''m not afraid of any price or danger."


    He turned his head and said seriously to ye zhiqiao, "Can you understand what I mean? In my heart, you are different from others. Only you are special."


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you for saving me today."


    "I don''t want your thanks." Yi chen held ye zhiqiao''s hand on her lap with his intact left hand and said in an urgent voice, "You understand my feelings for you. I went to work at the company and signed a contract with mengxing group to let you design my dress and follow you to Oslo... All of this is to let you understand me and be willing to accept me."


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at his right hand on his lap, which was covered with a white gauze. The faint color of blood came out, reminding people how deep the wound was.


    Ye zhi qiao quietly looked at the wound, then her eyes gradually became long, as if through the white gauze, she saw another memory.


    It was a small, messy room with only a narrow window, and the sunlight was stingy.


    She was thrown to the ground, thirsty and hungry, and most importantly, frightened.


    Then a man rushed in with a bright white glare. He knocked down two strong men and held her up like a hero.


    But a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and a gleaming white knife stabbed straight into his back.


    He grunted subconsciously, his body tensed up, but he said gently, "It''s okay. Don''t be afraid. With me here, you''ll be fine."


    Ye zhiqiao took her hand out of yi chen''s hand and looked at the sun before her eyes. There... It was as if there was still blood flowing from gu mohan.


    Bright red, sticky, and a strong smell of blood.


    Ye zhi qiao closed her eyes, as if she had returned to that day. The feeling of heartache was really a bad experience.


    Yi chen quietly saw ye zhiqiao''s movements, but he didn''t know what she was thinking.


    The two of them had known each other for a short time, and he had no idea what ye zhiqiao had gone through before. How could he possibly make her like him just by getting along with him for a few days?


    Yi chen lowered his head and smiled helplessly. The curve of his mouth was full of disappointment.


    On the third day of gu mohan''s return, ye zhiqiao was almost done playing with little treasure, so she packed her things and prepared to return home.


    As she was packing up the presents for her friends in china, ye zhiqiao suddenly thought of gu mohan''s favorite pickled cod at this time. It was impossible to bring the whole dish back. She remembered that the raw material of the dish was dried cod from the local production, so she bought a box with it.


    The recipe for that dish was not difficult, as long as the recipe was consulted, it could be made in all likelihood.


    There were also fried bananas, cheese and apple cake that little treasure liked, and ye zhiqiao also bought one with it.


    Everything was ready. Ye zhiqiao checked her luggage in advance and then took little treasure on the plane home.


    Gu mohan pushed everything away and waited at the airport early.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao, gu mohan''s first sentence was, "Have you done what you promised, or have you overfulfilled the task?"


    Ye zhi happened to look at the little treasure he was holding in his arms and thought that he was talking about the white fat he promised to raise little treasure, so she smiled proudly and said, "Of course, as long as I am around, little treasure will get fatter and fatter."


    Gu mo han shook his daughter in his arms and pretended to be worried, "It''s not good to be too thin. It''s not good to be too fat. I can hardly carry her."


    Little treasure was not happy to hear this. He twisted his body and protested, "Little treasure didn''t want daddy to hug him either. Daddy hates it. I want aunt ye to hug him!"


    Gu mohan refused to let go. He pointed at her wrinkled nose and said, "Wow, you''ve only been with aunt ye for a few days. When you come back, you don''t even want your father. I love you for nothing. You have no conscience."


    Little treasure opened his hand to ye zhiqiao and complained, "Aunt ye, daddy bullied little treasure again. Please help me."


    Ye zhi happened to be amused by the noisy look of the father and daughter. She reached out and took little treasure into her arms. She said to gu Mohan, "You have a lot of things to do. You can''t be fat or thin. You can''t be picky. Little treasure doesn''t hate you."


    Then he comforted little treasure and said, "It''s all right, little treasure. Aunt ye likes chubby little girls. Ignore your father."


    "You two are on the same front now. Are you two on the same side?"


    Ye zhiqiao and little treasure looked at each other and said in unison, "Of course!"


    Gu mohan said in frustration, "Thank goodness I was with aunt Li yesterday. I''ve been busy all day. I''ve cleaned up both of your things. Is that how you treat me?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him in surprise and asked, "Did master gu clean it up himself?"


    Gu mohan nodded, "Of course, I did almost everything myself, and the results were gratifying."


    "I can''t believe it, master gu. How long have we been apart? You''ve grown up so fast!"


    Gu mohan walked to the passenger''s seat and opened the door. He made a "Please" gesture and said, "Go home and inspect. Welcome your criticism."

 Chapter 111 Ye Zhiqiao Knew That Yi Shaozhi Attacked Gu Group

    When he got home, little treasure was so tired that he couldn''t open his eyes. He had to go back to his bedroom to sleep, but ye zhiqiao was still very energetic, so gu mohan took her out for a barbecue.


    They chose a random store, found a quiet place to sit down, ordered a lot of meat and vegetables, and also ordered a few bottles of beer.


    Gu mohan poured himself a glass. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was about to drink it, he called the waiter to serve her a tin of juice.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him discontentedly and said, "I can drink, and there are so many beers. How can you finish them yourself?"


    Gu mohan smiled and said, "It''s not a dinner that requires social interaction. You can drink whatever you want. When you get drunk, you have to let me carry you back."


    Both of them walked out without driving.


    Ye zhiqiao pouted and took a big gulp of juice.


    Gu mo chuckled and asked, "I remember you said you liked barbecue, right?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and recalled, "When I was young, I could always see a family of three sitting at a barbecue booth eating barbecue. My parents and children talked and laughed together and got together. I was very envious, and then I wanted to eat with them."


    But at that time, she already had a younger sister. Her father, stepmother and sister often went out to eat and rarely took her with them. Even if they did, they would not pay much attention to her.


    At this time, the dishes were served. Gu mohan picked up a bunch of beef and handed it to her. He said softly, "Eat it. I''ll bring you here anytime you want to eat it. If you think three people are better, we''ll bring little treasure with us."


    Ye zhiqiao''s original sad mood was broken by this sentence, leaving only a strong sense of emotion, agreed, and then buried his head in the food.


    Gu mohan watched her eat and drink beer.


    Although he was relaxed and happy in front of ye zhiqiao and xiao bao, he had not slept well for three or four days. His body and spirit were almost overwhelmed, and he was relying on hard work.


    Without yi shaozhi''s goal achieved, the attack on gu would not stop.


    Yi''s, like gu''s, is a well-established company that has been passed down for generations. Yi shaozhi was even more resourceful than his father, and since he took over the company, the Yi''s has risen a lot.


    The gu family and the Yi''s are almost on the same footing now. If they fight against each other, the gu family may have a higher chance of winning, but now it''s yi shaozhi''s move in advance, and the gu family has been greatly impacted. If they want to turn the tables again, there will be some trouble.


    Gu mohan was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was hiding something in his heart. He drank from cup to cup and soon became drunk.


    By the time ye zhiqiao noticed, gu mohan''s eyes were straight.


    "Gu mohan? Gu mohan?"


    Ye zhiqiao called out worriedly from across the table.


    Gu mohan was woken up, but his consciousness was scattered and he was mumbling something in his mouth.


    "Give me another... Half a month... No! A week... I''m sure..."


    "What?" Ye zhiqiao saw his mouth closing and closing, but she couldn''t hear what he was saying.


    Unable to do anything, ye zhiqiao had to sit next to gu mohan and hold his shoulder and say, "You''ve had too much to drink. Let''s go back."


    "No!" Gu mohan denied with a lisp, "Don''t try to... Lie... Lie to me!"


    Ye zhiqiao reached out to pull his face, let him look at him and said, "What lie? You take good care of me. I''m ye zhiqiao."


    "Ye zhiqiao?" Gu mohan repeated.


    Then he got closer and almost stuck it on ye zhiqiao''s face. It took him a long time to confirm, "It''s you... Really... Really you. You... Don''t worry... I won''t lose... Yi chen... Whatever he does... It''s useless..."


    Hearing this sentence, ye zhi was puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about? What happened to yi chen?"


    "He... His brother... Yi shaozhi... Yi shaozhi attack... Attack gu shi... How... How bad do you think he is..."


    Knock!!" As soon as he finished speaking, gu mohan hit his head hard on the table in front of him and fell asleep.


    Ye zhiqiao sat there, frowning.


    Yi shaozhi attacked gu? It turned out that the reason why gu mohan rushed back from abroad a few days ago was because of yi shaozhi!


    Ye zhiqiao understood what gu mohan meant. Since he said the word "Attack," it was definitely not a normal business competition between companies, but yi shaozhi used disgraceful means to play tricks behind the scenes!


    I didn''t expect the Yi''s group to do such a despicable thing!


    Ye zhiqiao was angry in her heart, but her priority was to send the drunk back first.


    She looked down at gu mohan with his eyes closed and his face flushed. She complained helplessly, "What else did you say to carry me back? I don''t know who carried who now.!"


    Ye zhi coincidentally sighed, then put gu mohan''s arm on her shoulder, puffed up and dragged him up.


    How heavy!


    Ye zhiqiao secretly complained in her heart.


    She dragged gu mohan down the road and bumped into him. She walked a long way before she stopped a taxi.


    Back at home, ye zhiqiao and aunt Li helped gu mohan back to the bedroom upstairs, then took off his clothes and pants, wiped his face and hands with a wet towel, and covered him with a quilt to let him sleep.


    After settling down with gu mohan, ye zhiqiao remembered what she had just heard from him and immediately took out her cell phone to call yi chen.


    Yi chen had already returned home. Seeing that ye zhiqiao called him so quickly, he was secretly happy.


    "How''s it going, Zhiqiao? You just came back and you''re bored, aren''t you? Do you want me to take you out to play?"


    "No need to play. Where are you? I came to see you."


    Yi chen couldn''t hear ye zhiqiao''s tone on the phone. When he heard that she was looking for him, he quickly replied, "I''m at a friend''s house. Do you have something to say? Why don''t we have dinner together?"


    "No need. Send me the location. I''ll come over now."


    After that, ye zhiqiao hung up the phone directly.


    Yi chen looked at the phone in his hand with a blank face, and finally obediently sent the location.


    Ye zhiqiao arrived very quickly. Yi chen was waiting for her in the garden beside her. When he saw her coming, he quickly welcomed her.


    "Zhiqiao!" Yi chen trotted to ye zhiqiao and asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly come looking for me? Is there an emergency?"


    Ye zhiqiao scowled and asked unhappily, "Do you know about your brother yi shaozhi''s attack on gu mohan''s company?"


    "What?"


    Yi chen was surprised and asked, "You mean my brother?"


    It seemed that he didn''t know, but yi shaozhi did all these things for him, and ye zhiqiao was still a little angry with him.

 Chapter 112 You Said He Wanted Me?

    Ye zhiqiao nodded and continued, "I believe you said you didn''t know about this. But what your brother did was too much! Using underhanded means to maliciously attack other companies, is this how your Yi''s developed to this day?!"


    Seeing that she was angry, yi chen was a little anxious. He quickly comforted her, "Don''t be angry. I will ask my brother. If he did this, I will make him stop."


    He knew that yi shaozhi would definitely do it if he agreed to help him, but he didn''t expect to use such a disgraceful method.


    The last news incident hurt ye zhiqiao, and he already regretted it. This time, ye zhiqiao knew about yi shaozhi''s attack on gu. How could he face ye zhiqiao in the future?


    "I know you don''t have a good relationship with gu mohan, but it''s okay to play around a little. I hope you can handle this as adults."


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the angrier she became, "I hope you can keep your promise and let your brother stop as soon as possible. Don''t make me look down on you!"


    After that, he left without looking back.


    Yi chen looked at ye zhiqiao''s back, which was obviously still angry, and felt disappointed.


    He had always wanted to get close to ye zhiqiao and help her impress her. Why did it always go against his wishes?


    The next morning.


    Gu mohan slept for ten hours, and when he woke up, his head felt heavy and he walked in a daze.


    He took a shower and went downstairs, just in time to see ye zhiqiao sitting at the table eating breakfast.


    Ye zhiqiao saw him come down and asked him to come over for dinner.


    "I thought you had to sleep until noon. Not bad. It''s time for breakfast. Are you starving?" He didn''t eat anything at the barbecue yesterday.


    Gu mohan agreed, walked over and sat down, looked around and asked, "Where''s little treasure? Not yet?"


    "You think everyone is like you. Little treasure has already finished eating, and now he''s playing with aunt Li in the yard."


    Ye zhiqiao put a bowl of porridge in front of him and said, "Have some porridge. How long did you drink it yesterday? Your stomach must be uncomfortable."


    After what she said, gu mohan felt a dull pain in his stomach.


    "How are things going at the company?" Ye zhiqiao continued to ask.


    Gu mohan nodded, "Almost."


    Ye zhiqiao knew that he was hiding it from her on purpose and was afraid that she would be worried, so she said directly, "You told me yesterday when you were drunk that yi shaozhi attacked the gu family."


    "Ah?"


    Gu mohan had no recollection at all. He never knew that he had the habit of talking nonsense when he was drunk.


    After a pause, he pondered and said, "That was the case before, but it was settled before you came back. You don''t have to worry."


    Had it been dealt with long ago?


    Ye zhiqiao secretly said that she was stupid to believe his words. If he handled it well, he wouldn''t have drunk so much alcohol in a bad mood yesterday, and he wouldn''t have said that after he was drunk.


    "Don''t lie to me. You said yesterday that it was difficult to deal with." Ye zhiqiao probed.


    "Well... It''s not that hard." Gu mohan did not know how much he had said yesterday, but now he had no confidence in his answer.


    Sure enough, ye zhiqiao still looked at him with a "You''re lying" expression.


    Gu mohan had no choice but to give up the resistance and nodded, "What yi shaozhi did really hit the gu family hard."


    Ye zhiqiao asked worriedly, "What exactly happened?"


    Gu mohan thought for a moment and said, "After I went abroad to look for you, he used some means to interfere with gu''s stock. Gu''s stock fell all the way and the situation was very bad. Although I managed to recover some of my losses after I came back, yi shaozhi has been making some moves and the impact on gu will not lessen."


    Through gu mohan''s brief introduction, ye zhiqiao could already understand the seriousness of the matter. Because in a big company like gu''s, once the stock has a problem, the whole company''s operation will be affected.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded heavily, thinking that what she did yesterday was right.


    Thinking of this, she felt that she should tell gu mohan about it and said, "I went to look for yi chen after I heard you say this yesterday."


    "You looked for him?" Gu mohan asked.


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded and then said, "He is yi shaozhi''s younger brother. Yi shaozhi has done this disgracefully, obviously on purpose to harm the gu family. I think yi chen might know, so he is too much."


    Gu mohan pondered for a moment and asked, "What did he say?"


    "I don''t think he knows about this, but I told him about it, and he promised to convince yi shaozhi to stop."


    Gu mohan couldn''t help but feel moved when he thought of the nonsense he said after drinking yesterday and couldn''t even confirm whether it was true or not.


    He had never thought that ye zhiqiao would believe in him and care about him like this.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao still looked indignant, gu mohan felt a warm current in his heart, joy and relief.


    But...


    Then gu mohan felt awkward.


    As a man, he should be outside to protect himself from the wind and rain. He should not let ye zhiqiao know about this kind of trouble, but she not only knew about it, but also ran to find a way to solve it.


    Gu mohan sighed in his heart, feeling guilty and ashamed.


    Immersed in the condemnation of yi shaozhi, ye zhiqiao did not notice the change in gu mohan''s heart. After a while, she continued to ask, "But why did yi shaozhi attack gu shi? Does he want to destroy the gu family?"


    After asking, ye zhiqiao immediately denied this possibility in her heart.


    Although yi shaozhi''s method would make gu group suffer for a while, it was impossible to break down the huge gu group.


    Seeing her expression, gu mohan knew that she had figured it out and said honestly, "He did it to help his brother."


    "Yichen?" Ye zhiqiao asked in surprise, "Did yi chen make him do this? But..."


    Gu mohan raised his hand to signal her to listen to him first, "Yi chen may not know, but yi shaozhi did this for yi chen. There is no contradiction between the two."


    "Then what is his purpose?" Ye zhiqiao asked with a puzzled face.


    Gu mohan sighed helplessly and looked at ye zhiqiao as she spat out a word, "You."


    This time, ye zhiqiao was even more confused, and then asked, "Me? You said his purpose was me?"

 Chapter 113 Compensation Method

    Gu mohan looked at the confused ye zhiqiao and sighed helplessly. He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and tapped his knuckled fingers rhythmically on the table.


    He tried to be tactful and said, "What yi chen meant to you... You should have felt it a little bit, right?"


    Dust prone?


    Ye zhiqiao thought of what yi chen had said to her in the hospital when she met the robbers that day abroad and was injured, so she nodded lightly.


    "... I know, but what does that have to do with yi shaozhi?"


    "Uh-" gu mohan raised his eyebrows and said, "It''s probably because my existence is too big a threat to yi chen, so yi shaozhi had to find a way to bring me back to china to create opportunities for his brother."


    In fact, there was also the news before, and it should be yi shaozhi to create opportunities for yi chen, but since ye zhiqiao did not know, gu mohan did not intend to mention this matter again, making her uncomfortable.


    But after hearing what gu Mohan just said, ye zhiqiao had already shown an apologetic look.


    She lowered her eyes and said, "I didn''t expect the gu family to be targeted like this because of me. When you came back alone to deal with it, I was still traveling abroad without a care, and even staying with yi chen. I really am..."


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and dared not look up at Mohan. Her hands were tightly clasped together, and her voice was full of remorse and guilt, as if she would cry the next second.


    "It''s really all my fault this time. If anything happens to gu shi, I... I..."


    "Okay." Originally, gu mohan was very happy early in the morning. He didn''t tell her this to make her cry, so he quickly stopped her from continuing.


    Gu mohan loosened her twisted fingers, patted them gently as a consolation, and then added, "If I had known you would have blamed yourself for hearing this, I would not have said it earlier. And all these infighting between companies is normal, right? Even without you, if yi shaozhi wanted to keep the Yi''s strong, he would have done something to gu sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to be fully prepared and give gu a fatal blow, it would be better for him to come up with a temporary plan like this. There are a lot of flaws that can be exposed and we can fight back better."


    Ye zhiqiao, with a sad face, said anxiously, "I understand what you said, but those are all ifs. Now that yi shaozhi is targeting the gu family because of me, this is the real thing. How can I not feel guilty?"


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao said dejectedly, "I''m really sorry, it''s all my fault."


    Gu mohan looked at her with a helpless smile and said softly, "How can I blame you? Stop imagining things."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was still upset and uneasy, gu mohan turned his eyes and said, "Otherwise, I will think of a way for you to do something to remedy it. How about that?"


    Hearing this, ye zhiqiao''s eyes lit up and immediately asked, "Really? You said, as long as I can do it, I can do anything."


    Ye zhiqiao''s appearance of being ready to "Die bravely" almost made gu mohan laugh, but he was afraid that ye zhiqiao would doubt his sincerity, so he forced himself to hold back his laughter and said, "Recently, the operations of various departments in the company have been disrupted by an emergency. The design department''s next project has not been produced for a long time. Now, public opinion has doubts about the stability of the gu family, so I hope that you can design one that will make people suspicious. The bright work in front of us can help the gu family earn profits, but at the same time, it can also restore its reputation."


    "Just design a suit?"


    The design was not difficult for ye zhiqiao, but she had caused so much trouble, so could she make up for it?


    Knowing that she was still feeling uneasy, gu mohan deliberately said, "This is your only chance to do something for the company. If you don''t treasure it soon, you won''t be able to use it until I''ve dealt with all these things in a few days."


    "Ah?"


    Gu mohan''s words were indeed useful, and ye zhiqiao immediately agreed, "I do, I do! I''ll get ready right away."


    At present, ye zhiqiao really couldn''t help in other aspects. Even if she felt guilty, she could only slowly make up for it bit by bit.


    Ye zhiqiao moved very quickly and did as she said.


    She had moved everything to jian mengqi''s house before, and she was still thinking about whether to move back to Mohan''s villa today, but now it seemed that she didn''t have to hesitate anymore.


    If the design was created, it would be best to stay in a quiet and undisturbed space. Either jian mengqi''s house or gu mohan''s house were obviously unsuitable. After thinking about it, ye zhiqiao brought some daily necessities to mengxing group.


    She didn''t go back to deal with the company''s affairs, but because her office was on the top floor of the company, usually no one passed by, the environment was good, and there was a lounge inside, where she could usually live.


    Gu mohan went back to work in the morning and went straight to mengxing group after work in the afternoon.


    As soon as he got to the top floor, he saw that ye zhiqiao''s assistant, Xiao Man, had just come out of ye zhiqiao''s office.


    Xiao Man saw him too, nodded and said hello before leaving.


    Gu mohan walked to the door of the office and looked through the half-open door. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was drawing a design draft, he did not go in directly to disturb her. Instead, he called Xiao Man back.


    "How long has she been drawing here?"


    Xiao Man calculated in his head and replied, "I followed president ye to set up this place around ten in the morning, and she has been sitting here drawing until now. She hasn''t gone anywhere except to the bathroom. It''s been seven hours."


    Seven hours?


    Gu mohan was a little worried. He frowned and asked, "Where''s lunch?"


    "No." Xiao Man shook his head, "She kept the lunch box I brought on the table, untouched."


    Gu mohan sighed and asked xiao man to go to work first.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was still sitting on the stool drawing, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were focused. Even gu Mohan had not noticed her standing at the door for so long.


    There were crumpled pieces of paper scattered around her hand. It must have been thrown away by her after she was dissatisfied with the drawing.


    Gu mohan slowly pushed the door open and walked in softly, stopping about three or four meters away from her.


    He bent down to pick up an unfurled drawing and looked at it quietly for a long time. He thought that the light green lady''s winter dress on it was very beautiful, and there was a bit of agility in the atmosphere.


    However, ye zhiqiao''s requirements for her work have always been very high, as long as there is a little flaw, or feel a little wrong, she will reject the whole article and push it back.


    Gu mohan stood behind her with his hands behind his back, smiling at her with doting eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao took his affairs very seriously and worried about him. This discovery made him very happy.


    Whether it was ye zhiqiao''s self-reproach and guilt before, or his hard work now, he saw in his eyes that his feelings for ye zhiqiao were not only distressed and concerned, but also a little more gratified.

 Chapter 114 Ill Send You Three Meals a Day

    The next morning, gu mohan got up early and took aunt Li''s breakfast to mengxing group.


    As it was too early, the computer connected to the front desk had not been turned on. Seeing that it was gu mohan, he did not record the visitors and directly asked him to go up.


    When gu mohan arrived at ye zhiqiao''s office, the door was still locked because he had repeatedly told ye zhiqiao to lock the door when he left last night.


    Gu mohan looked at his watch. Seeing that it was still early, he did not knock on the door and was ready to wait outside for a while.


    Ye zhiqiao had already gotten up when she heard the noise outside the door. When she opened the door, she saw gu Mohan standing outside, dressed in a suit and full of energy. She was surprised and asked, "Why are you here so early and haven''t you knocked yet?"


    Seeing that she was only wearing a thin sweater, gu mohan quickly pushed her into the room. Although there is central air conditioning in the corridor, the temperature is still cooler than in the office.


    He put the lunch box in his hand on the table, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then came back. He put out the breakfast in the box and told ye zhiqiao to come over to eat it.


    "I thought you must not be awake at this time. I just wanted you to sleep a little longer. You must have stayed up late last night."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and answered vaguely.


    Not only did she stay up all night, but she worked until four o'' clock in the morning, and he came over just after she took a nap, but she didn''t dare to tell him that.


    Gu mohan glanced at her as if he knew what she was thinking and said, "I know if you don''t tell me. I must have slept before dawn."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened and she quickly looked around, muttering, "There''s no camera."


    Gu mohan raised his chin and looked at her small face, "It''s dark under your eyes. Those who don''t know think you''re painting on your own face."


    When ye zhiqiao washed her face just now, she was so sleepy that she couldn''t even open her eyes and didn''t look in the mirror.


    She quickly covered her eyes to prevent gu mohan from looking, and then explained in disbelief, "I''m too white. It''s obvious if I have a little dark circles under my eyes. Actually, I didn''t stay up that late at all."


    Gu mohan dragged a long "Oh," then sat on a chair beside him, crossed his long legs, and said slowly, "I can''t help you staying up late. You won''t listen to me if I let you go home, but I''ll send you three meals a day on time. I''ll watch you eat. If you don''t sleep and don''t eat, you''ll get sick."


    "Ah? Don''t you have to work too? How can I have time when I''m so busy?"


    "You don''t have to worry about that. If you stay up late, I guess I''ll have to send you another night snack." As gu mohan spoke, he took out a boiled egg from the lunch box and elegantly peeled the outer layer with his slender fingers to reveal the round, white and tender egg inside. He slid along the bowl in front of ye zhiqiao and into the porridge.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head guiltily and whispered, "I wanted to make up for it, but why did you take care of me in the end?"


    Gu mohan took a tissue and wiped his hands carefully. Then he stood up with his hands on his legs and walked over to her and patted her head. He said softly, "Don''t think about those useless things. Concentrate on eating. I''ll bring little treasure to see you at noon."


    Ye zhi coincidentally sat much shorter than gu Mohan, so she had to look up at him. Her big eyes were misty from fatigue, and she tilted her head and asked, "Are you leaving?"


    Gu mohan pointed to the clock on the wall and said with a smile, "It''s almost time for work."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyelids and took a mouthful of porridge.


    Her pitiful appearance, like a little vagabond, made gu mo laugh bitterly. He rubbed her head again and instructed, "You can go back to sleep after I leave. The dress is not in a hurry. Take your time."


    Although ye zhiqiao had promised well before gu mohan left and would never work overtime, ye zhiqiao immediately forgot his advice after gu Mohan left.


    She finished her breakfast in a hurry and immediately sat down in front of the drawing board to continue her work from yesterday.


    The better gu mohan was to her, the more guilty she felt. Although she knew that gu mohan was not so concerned about her because of her design, she still wanted to do her best to repay gu mohan.


    With all her heart and soul in her creation, time would pass quickly. Ye zhiqiao forgot the time and thought that she had just worked for an hour or two. Just as she was preparing to use the bathroom, gu mohan came in with little treasure in his arms.


    Little treasure did not have ye zhiqiao for a day and a night. He couldn''t think of what she was thinking. He jumped directly out of gu Mohan''s arms and was about to pounce on her.


    Ye zhiqiao rushed forward to catch the little guy with short hands and legs.


    It was only then that she took the time to look at her watch and realized it was already noon.


    Little treasure pinched a little bit of ye zhiqiao''s hair and said in a soft voice, "Aunt ye, when can you go home? Will little treasure stay here with you?"


    Ye zhiqiao weighed her weight, pouted and kissed her little face, which smelled of milk, then said, "Aunt ye, it''s not fun here at all. It''s great to have dad and grandma li playing with you at home."


    Little treasure shook his head, "Yes, yes... But I still miss aunt ye!"


    Gu mohan put down the lunch in his hand and arranged it as he did in the morning. Then he took little treasure and put it on the stool, "Little treasure, let''s eat first. Aunt ye hasn''t eaten yet. Let''s talk while we eat, shall we?"


    Little treasure nodded sensibly.


    On the way here, gu mohan told her that auntie ye was very tired recently. She had to be considerate of auntie ye. She couldn''t always hold her and act like a spoiled child like before.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that although little treasure agreed obediently, she still looked reluctant. She immediately understood that gu mohan must have instructed her, so she reached out and took little treasure back to her lap and sat down again. She said softly, "Auntie ye misses little treasure too. Can I hold little treasure for dinner?"


    Little treasure couldn''t say anything wrong. He couldn''t stop nodding with joy.


    Seeing this, gu mohan said, "Let me hold little treasure. You eat first."


    Boss ye zhiqiao glanced at him unhappily and said, "I''m fine. I''m not so tired that I can''t even carry little treasure. Besides, little treasure likes to stick to me. Don''t keep talking about her."


    "...


    Gu mohan was silent.


    Little treasure felt that his father was a little wronged, so he explained to ye zhiqiao, "Aunt ye, father has been doing very well recently. You should reward him."

 Chapter 115 Sleeping Beauty

    "Oh?" Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan with a smile, then turned to ask little treasure, "What has dad done recently?"


    Little treasure frowned and thought about it seriously. Then he said one by one, "Daddy is coming home to eat with me every day, and he plays with me after dinner, and he tells me stories at night, and then he learns to cook with grandma li. When aunt ye is not home, he cleans up aunt ye''s room every day, right -"


    Little treasure turned around and pointed to the large backpack that the two of them were carrying when they came in, then said, "And these thick clothes that auntie ye needs to wear. Dad brought them all here."


    Ye zhiqiao thought that little treasure simply wanted to say good things to gu mohan, but she didn''t expect gu mohan to do so much when he was not at home.


    He came to the office early every day to see her, and at night he returned home late because he had to deliver dinner, but he still managed to find time to take care of little treasure and learn to cook with aunt Li?


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and looked at gu mohan. This time, she was not joking like the last time, but really grateful and touched.


    Gu mohan did not expect little treasure to tell him everything he had done. Although he was happy to feel ye zhiqiao''s gaze, he was still a little embarrassed.


    He often spoke in front of everyone, and there were many media interviews, but he was never as nervous as he is now, so he had to lower his head and concentrate on eating, pretending that nothing was wrong.


    But ye zhiqiao''s gaze did not leave him for a moment. If that gaze had substance, it could not be ignored no matter what.


    After a long time, gu mohan finally lost and looked up at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were already full of smiles. For the first time, she found that the calm and elegant gu mohan was also very cute when he was shy.


    Gu mohan cleared his throat and ordered with a stern face, "Eat quickly."


    "Poof!" Ye zhiqiao was amused by his pretended seriousness. When she saw his "Warning" eyes, she slowly put away her smile, but her eyes couldn''t help but squint with a smile.


    Gu mohan lowered his head and continued eating. When no one noticed, the corners of his mouth gently rose.


    It felt really strange.


    It was clear that when they were in Oslo, the two of them were often upset about little treasure, and the atmosphere was always weird when they got along with each other. Everyone looked a little uncomfortable, but after returning to china, because of the accumulation of things, the discord between the two disappeared little by little. Even a look and a smile just now made them realize the tacit understanding between each other.


    A few months ago, the night that gu mohan was angry, the messy and broken night, which brought ye zhiqiao anger, disappointment and disgust, seemed to disappear with this smile, and were completely forgotten by both of them.


    At around eleven o'' clock in the night, gu mohan came to deliver supper to ye zhiqiao. Xiao bao had already fallen asleep and did not follow him.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan''s obviously sleepy eyes and said worriedly, "I think you are more tired than me. Can you stop bringing me food in the future? I promise I will eat and sleep on time."


    "I would believe you."


    Gu mohan took off his coat and asked ye zhiqiao to eat quickly. He began to clean up the papers on the floor and the sundries on the table.


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t stand it. She pulled him to sit next to her and grabbed the white paper in his hand, "Don''t do this all the time. Every day, besides sending me food and cleaning the room, you''re almost a nanny. How can I be so nice?"


    Gu mohan pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "What are you feeling bad about? I volunteered to do this, and you work here day and night for me, too?"


    "That''s not the same. I was just... Aye! No more! No more!"


    This was not the end of the conversation. Ye zhiqiao didn''t think it was time to argue about who did more for whom.


    "Anyway, I don''t care. I''ll sort these things out myself. If you work again, I... I won''t let you come next time."


    Ye zhiqiao''s expression was sincere. Gu mohan knew that she was not joking, so he put the things in his hands aside and leaned back on the chair behind him, "What should I do now?"


    "Of course I want you to go home and sleep."


    As soon as ye zhiqiao finished speaking, gu mohan shook his head resolutely.


    Ye zhiqiao also knew that it was impossible. Gu mohan would watch her finish her supper every day and then lie down in bed before leaving, although she would secretly get up and continue working after gu mohan left.


    "Then..." Ye zhiqiao thought for a while, pointed to the back of the chair behind him and said, "You just close your eyes and rest for a while. I''ll call you when I finish eating."


    Gu mohan did not object. He closed his eyes obediently and put his legs on the sofa beside him.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that he was resting, so she opened the lunch box and prepared to eat.


    Inside was a packed barbecue. Ever since ye zhiqiao said that she loved barbecue, gu mohan would buy it for her every once in a while. Every time, he would say, "It''s not good for your health if you eat too much of it. Don''t eat it all the time." Next time, they will buy it back.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly and felt that it was impossible not to be touched. She felt that gu mohan was more like a family member than just a good impression.


    Her mind was in a mess. The food in the box was getting less and less and was gradually eaten clean.


    Ye zhiqiao tidied up the lunch box and looked at the time, thinking that it was almost time to call gu mohan up.


    She walked back to the table and saw that gu Mohan was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.


    There were no headlights in the room, only a warm yellow lamp beside the table, covered with a lace lampshade, and the light was faint and hazy.


    Gu mohan was facing the light source, so half of his chiseled face was hidden in the dark, and the other half was revealed in front of ye zhiqiao, like a sleeping beauty.


    Ye zhiqiao had always known that gu mohan was good-looking. Although he was thin, his bones were well-proportioned, and his wheat-colored skin added a sense of stability to him. Right now, he was sleeping soundly, his sharp and deep eyes were closed, and the cold feeling was mostly gone. His thick eyelashes were hanging over his lower eyelids, and sometimes they trembled slightly. The lines of his nose were much softer than usual, and his lips...


    As she was observing his facial features, ye zhiqiao moved closer and was wondering why there was a small piece of meat in the middle of his upper lip. Suddenly, a big hand covered his back and he fell forward uncontrollably.

 Chapter 116 Almost

    The scream was stuck in her throat, and ye zhiqiao subconsciously stretched her hands forward, trying to hold her body.


    After the balance of her body, ye zhiqiao quickly opened her eyes and a pair of smiling eyes came into view.


    Gu mohan did not know when he woke up and was looking at her with a smile.


    Her hand was now resting on his chest, and she could only feel the heat coming from her palm. She quickly straightened up, ready to retract her arm.


    But as soon as she made a move, she realized that the palm that had just rested on her waist was pushing her forward again.


    "Gu mohan!" She protested in a low voice.


    Still smiling, gu mohan blinked and said, "Didn''t you just look at my face and be fascinated? Now you can look closer."


    Who was fascinated by it?!


    Ye zhiqiao secretly complained in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to say it.


    I don''t know when he woke up. I had been staring at him for five minutes. If he woke up early, I would have lost my face.


    But now is not the time to talk about losing face or not. The two of them are in such... Ambiguous positions.


    Previously, ye zhiqiao''s arm was still bent against gu mohan''s chest, but after her struggle just now, it had become an entire arm completely against gu mohan''s chest, and she fell directly on gu mohan.


    "You... What are you doing?"


    The distance between the two people was very close, and the breathing of each other could be felt. Ye zhiqiao''s heart was pounding wildly, and her voice was trembling with nervousness.


    Gu mohan tilted his head and said with a smile, "Didn''t you say that? Let you take a closer look."


    "Look... What are you looking at?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s mind slowed down for half a beat until she realized that the smile in gu mohan''s eyes was getting deeper and deeper, and she finally realized what he wanted her to see.


    She scolded herself in her heart for being stupid, but with a forced smile on her face, she explained, "I didn''t... I didn''t want to see you, I just... I wanted to... Wake you up."


    Gu mohan looked at her smile, which was uglier than tears, and could not help but tighten his hand behind her, which made her cry again.


    "Gu mohan, what are you doing?!"


    "Nothing." Gu mohan was slightly innocent.


    The two of them got closer, and gu mohan''s breath fell on ye zhiqiao''s face as he spoke.


    Her cheeks were red, and she couldn''t help but say angrily, "Then you won''t let go!"


    Gu mohan used his free hand to tuck ye zhiqiao''s broken hair behind her ear, then lifted her chin and said, "Aren''t you going to wake me up? I''m waiting."


    "You''re clearly awake!"


    Not only is he awake now, he might not be asleep at all. Ye zhi''s teeth were itchy and she always felt that she was being teased. Just now, she secretly praised his good-looking appearance, and he must be very silly!


    Gu mohan shook his head seriously, put away his smile and said, "Well... Almost."


    Ye zhi happened to move her body and asked unhappily, "What''s the difference -"


    Before she could say the word "Mo," her lips were covered in warmth. Her eyes, which were still a little distance away, suddenly came close to her, and her stunned face was reflected completely and clearly in them.


    Ye zhiqiao''s breath stopped. Just as she realized that she wanted to push him, the man had already left early.


    They looked at each other, their eyes filled with a gentle smile, and their eyes filled with disbelief.


    "Okay, I really woke up this time."


    Gu mohan withdrew his hand from ye zhiqiao''s waist and looked at her with a smile on his head.


    As if she had been pricked by a needle, ye zhiqiao stood up and touched her lips subconsciously. There seemed to be an electric current flowing through her lips.


    As soon as the two of them sat for a long time, ye zhiqiao finally made a move when gu mohan thought that he had frightened her and wanted to get up to take a look.


    She hurriedly turned around and pushed a few sketches around on the table, saying casually, "You... You wake up... Let''s go."


    As soon as she spoke, she almost bit her tongue off.


    He gave her a kiss without permission, but she didn''t care whether he was awake or not. Shouldn''t she slap him and call him a "Hooligan" ?!


    Gu mohan almost laughed out loud, but the "Advantage" had already been taken over, so he could not continue to "Be a good boy," or else he would really make her angry.


    Gu mohan stood up, walked up and patted her on the head, "Then I''ll go. You have to go to bed soon."


    This time, ye zhiqiao learned to be smart and no longer answered casually.


    Gu mohan didn''t mind either. He didn''t have to watch her go to bed and close his eyes to leave like before. Instead, he mumbled something and left with his coat.


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed her ears and carefully distinguished what he had just said, "Little fool."


    Hiss -


    She took a deep breath and got goosebumps all over her body.


    Ye zhiqiao worked hard day and night, and the progress was very fast. Before long, all the design drafts had been completed.


    She asked Mohan to buy clothes, and then she processed some of the finished products herself. After testing, she decided whether to try or send them directly to the production line.


    Gu mohan was very attentive and was not afraid of wastage. Generally, this kind of trial design would choose low-quality clothing, so even if it failed, it would not cause too much commercial waste.


    However, because it was ye zhiqiao''s design, gu mohan chose the most advanced material according to the material. Once this material was laid out, even if it was poorly designed, it would probably shine brightly.


    He was also afraid that the people under ye zhiqiao''s hands would slow down, so he directly drew a studio in gu''s to make small samples and finished products for ye zhiqiao''s design, and asked a senior processing master of gu''s to follow and correct the whole process.


    Under gu mohan''s high standard and strict attitude, ye zhiqiao, who was waiting for the results, could not help but be more anxious and nervous. After spending so much manpower and material resources, if her work was not good, there was no way to end it. Not only was she embarrassed, but gu mohan was also embarrassed.


    Ye zhiqiao''s mentality lasted until the second before she saw the finished product.


    When a row of winter costumes, mainly in gray and pink, appeared in front of her under the bright light of the overhead lamp, ye zhiqiao''s heart finally fell to the ground.


    In addition to the faint or visible "Wake up" logo on the collar of the leaf, the clothing of different types, including men and women, mostly winter dresses and jackets, there are a few additional accessories, flowing under the light, adding a fresh color to the plain, it can be said to be the highlight.

 Chapter 117 Moving Back to the Mohan Family

    Although she was satisfied with her work, ye zhiqiao still looked at gu mohan beside her expectantly. She wanted to know his evaluation more than anyone else.


    Gu mohan felt her gaze turn around and slightly tilted his head to look at ye zhiqiao''s expression, deliberately keeping his mouth shut.


    Until the expectation on ye zhiqiao''s face gradually faded and she was about to put on a disappointed expression, gu mohan quickly put away the joke and praised sincerely, "Very good."


    "Is that all?" Ye zhiqiao was not very satisfied.


    Gu mohan pinched her chin and said, "You''re already the best in my heart. I don''t want to use those vulgar words to praise you. I can only say that you''re fine because I know that you''ll get better and better in the future, right?"


    A flower bloomed on ye zhiqiao''s face. Her white and neat teeth were slightly exposed. Her big clear eyes narrowed and she smiled like a child.


    Gu mohan was dazzled by her bright smile and was about to reach out and pinch her cheek, but her body suddenly swayed and slid straight to the ground.!!!


    Startled, gu mohan quickly took a step forward and held her in his arms, shouting, "Zhiqiao? Ye zhiqiao?!"


    The sudden change also shocked everyone. It was not until they sent ye zhiqiao to the hospital for examination that they realized that this was a false alarm.


    The doctor said that her sudden fainting was caused by staying up all night, using her brain too much, and being physically exhausted. As long as she had a good rest at home, she could recuperate for a while.


    Although knowing that ye zhiqiao was not a big problem made everyone else feel relieved, gu Mohan still felt sorry for himself. Originally, he wanted to let ye zhiqiao go straight to the hospital to recuperate, but later on, the hospital''s food was not good, and the bed was not comfortable, so it was better to go home.


    After thinking about it, gu mohan decided to let ye zhiqiao move back to his house so that he could take care of her at any time.


    Of course, there was nothing wrong with jian mengqi. Ye zhiqiao was still awake, and there was nothing wrong with her. In the afternoon, the two of them moved all the clothes and supplies that ye zhiqiao left at jian mengqi''s house to gu mohan''s villa.


    At night, ye zhiqiao woke up and saw gu mohan sitting at the head of her bed. She did not react for a moment and looked at him with a dazed face.


    Gu mohan had just brought over a glass of milk. When he saw ye zhi qiao waking up, he reached out and pinched her nose. Pretending to be angry, he asked, "Do you still know how to wake up? Do you know how long you slept?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s brain was still in a state of short-circuiting. She just remembered that she was looking at the finished clothes at gu''s. How did she appear here?


    "Gu mohan?" She called out his name.


    Gu mohan leaned down to touch her forehead, then said with a small smile, "No fever. Did you fall asleep?"


    Ye zhiqiao still looked confused. She turned to look at the window and found that the curtains were closed. It was dark outside the thin curtains.


    Then he turned around and looked at gu mohan doubtfully.


    She had just woken up and her cheeks were slightly swollen, but her eyelids were deeper, her lips were pouting and her eyes were blank, like a baby who had just woken up from a deep sleep.


    Gu mohan stopped teasing her and explained to her, "You fainted while looking at the finished product. The doctor said it was because you were too tired these days. You should take a good rest."


    Then he leaned over, pointed behind him and said, "I brought you back. I haven''t asked you yet. Do you agree?"


    Before ye zhiqiao could nod her head, she heard gu mohan continue, "There''s nothing you can do if you don''t agree. I''ve already moved back the things you left at jian mengqi''s house, and they won''t take you in anymore."


    "Poof!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled directly, her voice still hoarse from waking up.


    Who said no? Why did he act like he was guilty and had nothing to offer?


    Seeing that she was smiling, gu mohan also knew that it was a little strange for him to say that in a hurry. He coughed lightly and picked up the milk on the bedside table, "Get up and drink this first. Then go downstairs and ask aunt Li to make something for you to eat."


    Ye zhiqiao obediently got up, and gu mohan took out a hand to support her back.


    "Have you eaten?" Ye zhiqiao asked after drinking half of it.


    Gu mohan nodded, then pointed to the alarm clock on the table and said, "It''s already nine in the evening."


    "Oh... Then I won''t eat. Aunt Li must be asleep now."


    Gu mohan said, "If you don''t want to trouble her, I''ll do it for you."


    Ye zhiqiao looked up at him with a milk stain on her mouth, "Did you really learn to cook?"


    Gu mohan said, "Of course, isn''t that normal?" His expression.


    I don''t know who it was last time, but I almost cut it into pieces.


    Although she had no confidence in gu Mohan''s cooking skills, ye zhiqiao still went downstairs with him and sat at the table waiting for him to make dinner.


    Ye zhiqiao was bored sitting alone, and little treasure had already fallen asleep at this time. It was really not interesting, so she got up and went to the kitchen to "Spy on military intelligence."


    Gu mohan was standing at the edge of the table in his home clothes. He never wore an apron. He felt that it was only for women, and it would be very feminine for men to wear it.


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at the colorful flower apron hanging behind the door and felt that aunt Li''s apron really didn''t suit him.


    Gu mohan was cutting tomatoes. The red juice flowed everywhere. He pressed the tomato that was about to be flattened tightly while using a knife to block the juice that was about to spill to the ground.


    "Are you doing it?" Ye zhiqiao grinned and asked in a long voice.


    Gu mohan knew she was coming in, but he couldn''t spare time to see her. He turned his back to her and said, "Aunt Li said that the noodles I made are not bad. I''m going to cook you a bowl of tomato egg noodles."


    "Tomato juice? Then you''re a little wasteful!"


    Knowing that ye zhiqiao did it on purpose, he was not angry and asked with an open heart, "Aunt Li peeled the tomato skin very easily last time, but I couldn''t do it, so I could only cut it directly, but this skin was very difficult to cut, and it shriveled when cutting the tomato. You should know how aunt Li did it, teach me?"


    Seeing that his attitude was not bad, ye zhiqiao nodded with satisfaction, and then the knife in his hand took out another tomato from the refrigerator, cut two times on the top, showing the shape of a cross.


    Then he opened fire and added some boiling water to the pot. After a while, the water boiled and the tomatoes were thrown into the pot for two minutes.


    After all this, ye zhiqiao turned to look at gu Mohan and asked proudly, "Is it powerful?"

 Chapter 118 Contrast Meng

    "Awesome."


    Hearing gu mohan''s answer, ye zhiqiao immediately looked at him carefully for a long time, and saw that he really did not mean to joke, but a surprised expression after a sudden realization, and could not help but hold his forehead secretly.


    Recently, gu mohan seemed to be different from before. If he wanted to say that things had changed, he really couldn''t say it, but the whole person felt strange. He was always cold and sarcastic. He felt that everyone was stupid. Suddenly, the style of painting changed. He was much more considerate and gentle.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately thought of his sudden kiss in the office the other night, and her heart beat faster.


    Strange, too strange!


    After that day, she thought about it carefully. The previous time gu mohan forced her to be angry, she was angry for a long time, but that day... She didn''t seem to be disgusted, even a little excited.


    The scene then came to mind again, the quiet air, the warm yellow light, the office chair, gu mohan''s eyes and nose...


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but blush. She came back to herself and scolded herself for being useless. Then she prepared to turn around and go out. It was too hot to stay in the kitchen.


    Gu mohan reached out and stopped her.


    "What are you doing?!" Suddenly thinking of what happened in the kitchen last time, ye zhiqiao suddenly became nervous.


    Gu mohan was confused by her, but he continued, "If you''re not interested, go back to your room and wait while playing with your phone. I''ll bring it up later."


    So it was a misunderstanding.


    Ye zhiqiao''s face turned even redder. She nodded quickly and ran upstairs.


    Not long after, gu mohan came in with a tray with a large noodle bowl and two small dishes.


    There was an egg nestled in the noodle soup, accompanied by pieces of tomato and ham, and a pinch of coriander. Although it looked simple, it smelled delicious.


    Ye zhiqiao''s stomach called five minutes ago. When she saw the delicious food, she quickly picked up her chopsticks and started eating.


    Gu mohan followed her closely. Seeing that she had swallowed the first bite, he quickly asked, "How does it taste? Is it good?"


    Ye zhiqiao had already taken a bite of the egg in her mouth and praised it vaguely, "It''s delicious, en... It fits the standard of young master gu."


    On the surface, gu mohan appeared calm and relaxed, showing a "Of course" expression, but his heart had already blossomed with joy. Ye zhiqiao did not know that when he was learning to do this, he had already fantasized about the expression on her and little treasure''s face when they had eaten.


    Ye zhiqiao ate the noodles one after another and took the time to look up at gu Mohan and asked, "Aren''t you going to rest? I''ll just pack this up after I finish eating."


    She had just looked at her watch, and it was almost ten o'' clock. Gu mohan had to go to work tomorrow.


    Gu mohan was surprised that it was already so late, but he didn''t mean to leave, "I''ll wait for you to finish eating. I''m not sleepy yet."


    "Mmm."


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid that he was tired and didn''t want him to wait any longer, so she quickly sucked the noodles out of the bowl, then stood up with the tray and said, "I finished eating, you go to sleep."


    "Yeah." Gu mohan agreed, but did not move. He looked at the bowl and said, "Keep this for tomorrow. You should go to sleep."


    "Okay, I''ll take it down and put it in the kitchen."


    Gu mohan nodded, but did not move.


    Ye zhiqiao was a little strange. She looked down at him doubtfully and asked, "Aren''t you leaving yet? I''m going downstairs. Aren''t you going to sleep too?"


    Gu mohan raised his head and looked back at her. His hands on his legs tightened and his lips opened and closed a few times. He wanted to say something, but he didn''t know what to say.


    What else could he say? It was time to go back to her room to rest, but what was the matter with sitting there and not wanting to leave?


    Alas!


    Gu mohan sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and stood up, trying not to look at ye zhiqiao and walking straight out the door.


    When he reached the door, he couldn''t help but look back and say, "Have a good rest."


    The next morning, ye zhiqiao woke up and wanted to wash up. Just as she stood on the floor, the door was knocked on. She walked over to open the door and asked, "Who is it?"


    She was startled when the door opened and froze at the door as she rubbed her eyes.


    Outside the door, gu mohan was dressed in formal attire, obviously for work, but his face was covered in a piece of white flour, and his hair was streaked with bits of white. He had a bag of snacks in his left hand and a tray in his right. There was a plate of steaming white and fat buns on top of it, as well as a bowl of black rice porridge and boiled eggs.


    It took ye zhi a long time to regain her senses and stammered, "This is... This is... You... What''s wrong?"


    Seeing her speak, gu mohan walked directly around her and entered the room. He placed the things in his hands on the desk in her room, then said quickly, "This is breakfast. Eat your snacks when you are free but don''t eat too much. I will come back to eat with you at noon. Tell me when you want to eat at night. It''s best not to eat barbecue."


    As he spoke, he looked at his watch and said, "I have to go to work now. I have an important meeting in the morning and can''t be late. You can go out for a walk after dinner, but don''t go too far. It''s better to rest and sleep at home."


    After that, he rubbed ye zhiqiao''s messy hair and walked out of the room with a gust of wind.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.


    It turned out that gu mohan had woken up early this morning to make breakfast for her. It seemed that he had been listening to the noise at the door until she woke up and knocked on the door.


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at the food and the buns. How early did he get up to cook? There''s still some white flour on his head.!!!


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt a surge of excitement and rushed to the window to look out.


    At this time, gu mohan''s car just drove out of the door of the villa. In a blink of an eye, it drove onto the highway and disappeared into a group of cars of all kinds.


    His head was still covered in white flour, so it was ridiculous to go to the company like this!


    She quickly took out her cell phone and called him.


    Gu mohan quickly picked it up and asked in a clear voice, "Are the buns good?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the steamed bun that was still lying there, frowned and said, "It''s delicious, but it''s delicious. But I just saw that you seem to have flour on your head. Remember to clean it up in the mirror."


    Gu mohan was amused to hear what she said. He had arranged it long before he left the house. It would have been embarrassing for her to tell him. But... So she''s been thinking about flour for so long, hasn''t she eaten it yet?


    Instead of answering, he asked with a smile, "Do you like beef? If you don''t like my vegetarian stuffing next time."


    "Eh?" Ye zhi qiao was stunned, and then agreed, "Vegetarian is not bad. Have some vegetarian in the morning."


    "Tsk! Then you should eat quickly."


    Ye zhiqiao hung up the phone and still felt that he was smiling a little strange. What happened to his vegetarian stuffing? What''s so funny?


    With this in mind, she reached for a bun and bit it down.


    He showed it to her - it was full of green cabbage.

 Chapter 119 Then What Are We Doing?

    Under gu mohan''s meticulous care, ye zhiqiao had successfully gained four pounds in just a few days.


    At this time, gu mohan happened to push the door and come in. When he saw ye zhiqiao standing in front of the full-body mirror, twisting her left and looking at her sad face, he was a little strange, so he went up and asked, "What are you doing? Such a bitter and bitter expression."


    Ye zhiqiao collapsed her shoulders and pouted, "Do you think I''ve gained a lot of weight recently? I feel like my face is bigger."


    In fact, she was originally a thin type, a melon seed face is even smaller, how can you see fat.


    Gu mohan reached out and pinched her cheek, feeling it "Seriously," then said, "It''s too thin to pinch."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t believe him at all, so she continued to inhale and look at herself in the mirror.


    After a while, she realized something was wrong, "What time is it? Why are you back so early?"


    "The company hasn''t been busy lately. I should be able to rest at home often during this period of time. I''ve been exhausted a while ago."


    Gu mohan raised the plastic bag in his hand, then put it on the table and said, "This is a barbecue for you. Don''t eat too much. Put it on the mat first and eat it in the evening."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao agreed and sat down at the table to eat.


    Gu mohan saw that the skewer of lamb she picked up had a little too much chili on it, so he got up and went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water.


    Ye zhi took a sip and heard him grumble, "They said to put less chili, why are you still putting so much chili? Next time, you have to buy another one."


    Ye zhiqiao was amused by his serious manner, so she pushed the lunch box forward in front of her and motioned for him to eat together.


    "Try it. It''s not spicy. Their chili is very fragrant."


    Gu mohan never liked to eat this kind of food that was rich in oil and salt. If it wasn''t for ye zhiqiao, he probably wouldn''t have entered the barbecue shop for the rest of his life. He frowned and said, "You''d better eat less. I''ll bring you whatever you want to eat at night. You should rest for a few more days. I don''t think you look too good."


    "What do you want for me to eat?" Ye zhiqiao asked with a smile.


    "Yeah... Just about anything. I''ve been studying with aunt Li lately. I think I''ll be able to learn more about home cooking in a few days."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded with satisfaction.


    The noodles that gu mohan made a few nights ago tasted very good. She ate them all. Some people were like this. Although they had no experience before, the food they made was delicious. It was called talent.


    But...


    As she stuffed potato chips into her mouth, she looked at gu mohan, who was tidying the table for her, and was amazed.


    However, gu mohan''s recent changes are a little too big. How does he look like a big boss? It was like a babysitter... No, no, no, that''s not polite, it should be like a good man living at home.


    Three meals every morning, noon, and evening. If you have time, try to cook for her by yourself. Occasionally, you will have a late supper at night. During the day, when you go to work, you will call to ask if she is bored, if you want to bring some magazines back, and often arrive late and late. In the afternoon, it is getting earlier and earlier. From time to time, you will make a cup of tea, peel a plate of fruit and send it over. You will always have enough snacks at home.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the busy figure in front of her and suddenly felt warm in her heart. Her heart seemed to turn into cotton candy, soft and sweet.


    Ever since her mother passed away, she had never experienced such feelings. Even though she was close to little treasure, most of the time she was taking care of little treasure. But gu mohan was different. He would take the initiative to take care of her and do everything he could think of.


    Ye zhiqiao not only coveted the comfortable life of clothes and food, but also enjoyed the warmth that she longed for the most.


    After a delicious dinner, three hours later, gu mohan knocked on ye zhiqiao''s door with a midnight snack as usual.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at a group of small wontons floating in the bowl, and her determination to lose weight slowly began to waver.


    "Clang!" Gu mohan put the white porcelain spoon into the bowl, pushed it forward and said, "Eat while it''s hot. When the skin softens, it won''t taste good."


    Ye zhiqiao swallowed secretly, then picked up the spoon and scooped up a wonton and put it into her mouth.


    It''s so delicious. The thin skin, the thick meat filling, and the fragrant juice...


    Ye zhiqiao narrowed her eyes and ate the wontons one by one. Then she asked gu Mohan, "Did you make this?"


    Gu mohan nodded, "It''s true."


    "Wow, you can open a restaurant if you''re not the president now."


    Open a restaurant?


    Gu mohan did not know what kind of brain circuit she was in. He was obviously a very stable and intelligent person. How could he become more and more like a child and talk nonsense?


    Although she secretly felt that she was stupid, the smile on her face could not be hidden. Sometimes, gu mohan thought it would be good to watch her and little treasure at home like this every day.


    In the past, as the head of the gu family, he was in charge of all kinds of business and scheming. His mind was always thinking about how to develop the gu family, how to defeat the opponents, how to get the best interests. Although he loved and doted on little treasure, he was more focused on the outside.


    But after meeting ye zhiqiao, everything seemed to have changed, and he began to think about more things, such as how to be a good father, such as helping ye zhiqiao cope with difficulties, learning to do a lot of things by himself, caring for others, which he had never thought about before.


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao and smiled again, then realized that his smile was also gradually increasing.


    In the past, he only smiled from the bottom of his heart at little treasure, and the rest was polite and perfunctory to his clients and colleagues. Most of the time, he didn''t like to laugh because he didn''t think that there was anything to be surprised and happy about in a boring life.


    But now everything has changed. When he looked at ye zhiqiao, it seemed that he could not help but raise the corner of his mouth. Even though he secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, he still couldn''t hold back his joy. This... Was really strange.


    Ye zhiqiao finished the wonton and saw gu Mohan looking at her without blinking. She quickly took the mirror to look at her.


    The corners of his mouth were clean and his teeth were white.


    What was he looking at? Ye zhiqiao reached out her hand and shook it in front of gu mohan''s eyes, but she saw that he seemed to have been startled and suddenly came back to his senses.


    "What are you doing? Have you been wandering for nine days? If you''re tired, go to bed. You don''t have to stay here with me."


    Gu mohan opened his eyes and shook his head, "I''m not sleepy. What about you?"


    "I... I''m not sleepy either."


    Ye zhiqiao spread her hands on the table and asked, "Then what are we doing?"

 Chapter 120 Couple Outfit

    In the middle of the night, there was no light, no man and no woman...


    Ye zhiqiao did not know why she suddenly thought of the scenes in the tv series and buried her head and secretly smiled.


    In fact, she had already noticed that gu mohan would come to deliver supper at this time of the day, and then he would not leave. It was probably a waste of time to deliver supper, so taking the opportunity to be alone was the ultimate goal.


    She remembered the first night back at the gu family villa, when gu mohan watched her finish her noodles and then leave reluctantly. At that time, she did not know what gu mohan was thinking and kept trying to persuade him to go to rest. He was probably so angry that his teeth itched.


    Ye zhi happened to look at her eyes unintentionally. It was already past ten o'' clock.


    She remembered that gu mohan had left at 9: 00, then at 9: 30, and then at 10: 00 ... I don''t know if it was 11: 00 today.


    She could see what gu mohan was thinking, but she didn''t stop him. She just stayed. She... Thought it was a good feeling.


    Gu mohan cleared his throat and whispered, "If you are tired, you should rest first."


    Both of them were willing to spend more time together, but there was nothing to say about sitting quietly and being really awkward, so the conversation was almost always like this every day. One advised the other to rest, the other said that he was not tired, and after a while, the role reversed, and advised again...


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao also felt that this was not the way to go on, so she simply stood up and walked to the bathroom. As she walked, she said, "Then I will wash up and sleep. When you go back, help me close the door."


    Seeing that she was really leaving, gu mohan was a little anxious. In fact, he just had nothing to say, not really want to leave!


    "Zhiqiao!" He called out, then got up and walked to her.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to ask him what he was doing, she saw him bend down, his lips getting closer and closer.


    A gentle kiss fell on ye zhiqiao''s forehead. Gu mohan lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the tip of her nose. "Good night," he said softly."


    Seeing ye zhi''s flustered look, gu mohan''s boredom was swept away and he turned back with a happy smile.


    Until gu mohan''s figure completely disappeared behind the door, ye zhiqiao still blankly covered her forehead and didn''t know what to do.


    The place where gu mohan''s lips fell just now seemed to have been swept by feathers. It was gentle and gentle, warm and itchy. Ye zhi closed her eyes and calmed down after a long time.


    Ye zhiqiao''s body was almost recovered, so she began to organize the series of clothes she had designed before. She brought back the drawings and carefully reviewed them one by one to see if there was anything that could be improved. If not, she received the manuscripts of her previous works as a souvenir.


    Gu mohan picked up one of them and looked at it for a long time. He nodded and said, "This is a good dress. An autumn woolen coat, for a lady?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked over and said, "Yes," then she said, "This light gray is for women, and another dark gray is for men. In common, it''s a couple''s outfit."


    "Most professional designers nowadays focus on dresses and dresses. Men are mostly suits and so on. That kind of clothing has a wide range of applications and will be very profitable. But I think it''s also very important to keep warm in winter for the public, so I specially tried to add this kind of clothing in this work."


    Gu mohan thought about it, frowned and said, "But I didn''t seem to see it when we were looking at the finished product. Was it rejected?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head."


    "Oh." Gu mohan nodded slowly, thinking that it would be time for the staff to change the dress to the front.


    While the two of them were packing up their things, they chatted with each other. After a busy morning, just as they were about to rest, gu mohan''s phone suddenly rang.


    He glanced at the caller id and saw that it was the photographer who was shooting the poster for ye zhiqiao''s series of costumes.


    The photographer was an internationally renowned photography genius with an extraordinary talent and inspiration for images.


    "Mr. Zhang, is the shooting going well?" Gu mohan said with concern.


    The photographer called to tell him about it, "This time, the dress design is exquisite and unique. The models are in good condition. The first half of the shoot went smoothly. It''s just... One of them. I changed four or five models to try it on, but it didn''t feel right."


    This had happened before. The more professional the photographer was, the more demanding he felt about the work he was shooting. Knowing that it was a sign of their seriousness and responsibility, gu mohan suggested, "If it''s really not appropriate, you can change the model according to your request, or if you have the right person, you can recommend it to me. I''ll send someone to talk to you."


    "No, no, no." The photographer was a little anxious to express his thoughts, "This dress is very strange. Of course, it is very beautiful in itself, but when it is worn on an experienced model, it seems to cover up the surprise of the dress itself. But after I changed a few newcomers, I feel that it is not suitable. They don''t have enough aura on them, and they don''t seem to match this dress."


    How could a piece of clothing be so troublesome? Gu mohan comforted the photographer and said that he would find a way to solve it as soon as possible, but after hanging up the phone, his brows tightened and he was worried.


    When ye zhiqiao saw his appearance, she quickly asked, "Is there some trouble in filming?"


    Gu mohan repeated what the photographer had just said.


    Which dress is so special?


    Ye zhiqiao also frowned and thought about it. Every piece of clothing she designed cost a lot of energy. When she thought about it, every piece was very special.


    This is not the way to worry, ye zhi coincidentally looked at gu mohan who was thinking of a countermeasure, and suggested, "Otherwise I will try it. I designed my own clothes, and I know the style and characteristics very well, maybe I can do it."


    Gu mohan looked at her in surprise. Although he was satisfied with ye zhiqiao''s figure, appearance and personal style, she had no experience as a model.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her with a smile, "Don''t you trust me?"


    It was not that gu mohan didn''t believe her, but he was curious. He couldn''t figure out what she would look like if she was photographed in her own clothes.


    "Okay, I''ll go with you."


    He still agreed with ye zhiqiao''s idea, but proposed to go with her. He was very curious about what kind of clothes it was, and what kind of chemical reaction it would have on ye zhiqiao.


    When the two of them arrived at the filming site, they saw the light gray coat and felt a little familiar.


    Sure enough, not long after, the photographer took out another dark gray men''s coat and introduced, "This is the only couple outfit in the series. It''s really not suitable for all models."

 Chapter 121 She Was Dressed Well

    This suit was the one on the drawing that gu Mohan picked up in the morning.


    The two of them looked at each other and went to the dressing room to change.


    Gu mohan walked out first. The photographer saw his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. He was no less stunned than the model''s figure. He said that many of the models he photographed did not have his demeanor.


    The most important thing was that this dress was surprisingly suitable for him. This material tested his figure and temperament, and the effect would be counterproductive if there was a slight deviation.


    The photographer was surrounding gu mohan to marvel at the creator''s magic. Then he saw ye zhiqiao push the door open and come in. His mouth, which was speaking, suddenly puffed up in a round way.


    He knew that these clothes were designed by the girl in front of him, but few designers would be suitable for their own designs, but obviously ye zhiqiao was an exception.


    Originally, the stiff and lifeless clothes on the model seemed to suddenly come back to life on ye zhiqiao''s body. The color and line accessories were in their respective positions, perfectly fitting.


    This suit was clearly tailored for these two people.


    Because the model was suitable and the shoot went very smoothly, the venue that had been gloomy all morning suddenly became active and finished in less than an hour.


    The shooting site was on the first floor of the gu group. After the shooting, gu mohan took ye zhiqiao to his office to take a look.


    Ye zhiqiao followed him up to the top floor and found that his office was not the same as before. The originally black-and-white space suddenly had more life atmosphere.


    Ye zhiqiao walked to the desk and reached out to touch the leaves of the small potted plant. It was moist and soft. It seemed that she was well taken care of.


    "Why do you think of raising these plants? Didn''t you like them before?"


    Gu mohan lowered his head and smiled.


    Ye zhiqiao continued to ask, "Was it because last time little treasure came to my company to play and said that he liked my office, you specially prepared it to make her happy?"


    There were a lot of little things in her office, besides potted plants and calligraphy and paintings, which could both cultivate her feelings and add a lot of interest.


    Gu mohan still smiled. In fact, he was not only for little treasure, but also for her. He wanted to adjust his cold personality as much as possible, and try to be more easy-going and sunny.


    After leaving the office, the two of them strolled around the office again. Feeling bored, they decided to walk home and walk around the street.


    Ye zhiqiao had been locked up at home by gu mohan for a whole week because she wanted to rest peacefully. She felt that her body was going to be moldy. She finally had the chance to come out and ran around like a fool.


    When gu mohan saw that she was running around like a headless fly, he reached out to hold her and let her stay by his side quietly.


    "What? I want to see what it sells."


    Because it was afternoon, the sun was in the sky, and the sun was generously sprinkled on the body, it was the warmest time of the day, so there were many pedestrians on the street, and the sight of people coming and going would be blocked.


    Gu mohan was tall, and he could see the crowded corner that ye zhiqiao was pointing at on his tiptoe.


    He observed for a while and said, "It''s the candy man. An old man is pinching the candy man."


    Hearing the candy man, ye zhiqiao immediately became excited.


    I remember when I was a child, there was an old man at the door of my study who set up a stall every day to make candy. Every time school was over, the children would rush over like bees. Even if I didn''t buy it, I would have to see the old man''s skillful method of making candy man.


    But at that time, she was still young, and ye zhiqiao''s pocket money was not as much as ye yiyu''s. She could only save and save for a few days before she ran over to buy one. After buying it, she was reluctant to eat it, so she looked at it eagerly. It was not until the candy man was melting that she couldn''t bear to take a bite.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao standing there motionless and staring straight at the stall where the sugar man was made, gu mohan guessed that she wanted to eat and suggested, "Shall we go and buy one?"


    Ye zhiqiao quickly nodded and agreed, letting gu mohan pull her over.


    After leaving a batch of children who bought candies, the stall was much quieter. Now the old man was making candies for a young couple.


    What they wanted was a sugar painting man. The old man was heating the sugar in a small pot to soften it.


    Taking advantage of this time, the woman waiting looked at ye zhiqiao and said, "Are you and your husband wearing matching clothes?"


    "Ah?" Ye zhiqiao was taken aback by her question and quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, no, he''s not my husband. We''re not..."


    "Oh, that''s a lover. You guys look so good together."


    Before ye zhiqiao could finish explaining, the woman turned around and took her husband''s arm, "Look at him. He''s wearing such beautiful couples'' clothes in winter. You have to buy them for me too!"


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were embarrassed when they saw the couple laughing and playing.


    Along the way, they had already attracted a lot of attention. Many young girls whispered that their clothes were beautiful and they were a good match.


    Both of them heard it and pretended not to hear it. They did not mention it, but in fact, there was a faint joy in their hearts.


    After buying the candy man, the two of them were tired from walking and took a taxi home.


    At this time, little treasure was already taking a nap. Ye zhiqiao put the candy man she brought to her in the kitchen and put it in the chopsticks'' chopsticks cage to avoid damaging its shape.


    Gu mohan took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then stood there and looked for a long time. He said to ye zhiqiao, who came out of the kitchen, "This dress is really good. The more you look at it, the better it looks. It''s comfortable to wear."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled modestly, "It''s comfortable to wear because you chose the right material. If this material is not of high quality, the effect will definitely not be good."


    "How''s the man dressed?" Gu mohan asked with a smile.


    "The person wearing it..."


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to say that it was a good person, but they were both wearing it, who was this compliment?


    Gu mohan had expected her to react this way, so he walked up to her, bent down slightly, looked into her clear eyes and whispered, "The person wearing it is also good."


    Then he got closer and said softly, "You''re beautiful. After you put it on, the clothes will be better."


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly felt a little flustered when she looked at him sincerely. She hurriedly took a step back and said politely, "You too. We are the same."


    "Poof!"


    Gu mohan was amused by her reaction. He straightened up and said seriously, "I''m serious. And your design is very good. You''re really talented to design such an excellent work in such a short time."

 Chapter 122 How Nice!

    Gu mohan''s attitude suddenly became formal and sincere, which caught ye zhiqiao off guard.


    In her eyes, gu mohan had always been an outstanding, unruly, and even a little conceited person. No matter what he did to anyone or anything, he always looked superior. There were very few compliments that could be heard from him.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled shyly, then lowered her head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Actually, my talent is not that high, but it just takes a little more time."


    "What are you being modest about?" Gu mohan put his hands in his pockets and turned to sit on the sofa. He looked up at ye zhiqiao and smiled like the warm sunshine.


    "I knew you were very professional before, but most of your knowledge came from your contact with little treasure. This time I witnessed your creation with my own eyes, and it felt completely different from before, hmm..."


    Gu mohan rubbed his chin and continued, "It''s like being a photographer today. He''s very demanding of the photos he takes. The most important thing is his feelings. I think you''re the same. You''re a spiritual designer."


    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound from his cell phone on the table. Gu mohan picked it up and saw that it was the general manager of the company''s marketing department.


    "Manager wang, what''s the matter?"


    Today was gu mohan''s day off. If there was nothing important, the people in the company would not disturb him.


    Manager wang was obviously in a good mood. He laughed for a long time before he spoke, and he could hear the hoarse vibration of his voice from smoking and drinking all year round.


    "President gu, there is good news that I think we should tell you right away."


    In the shopping mall, the old greasy man always liked to keep things in suspense before he spoke. Gu mohan was used to them. Although he didn''t like it, he still said patiently, "Yes, you said."


    "This morning, you and miss ye zhiqiao came to the company to take a promotional photo of the latest clothing, and then you left wearing that clothing directly. At that time, a few customers happened to see it, and then contacted me, saying that they were very interested in the clothing and had the intention to sell or cooperate."


    At that time, gu mohan took ye zhiqiao out of the office and went downstairs for a walk. On the way, he did meet a few customers, and gu mohan even greeted a few of them.


    It turned out that they had been paying attention to this dress at that time, and this series of clothes had not yet held a press conference, and had already been looked upon in advance. After the show in the future, they would definitely achieve greater success.


    Gu mohan thought for a while and said to manager wang, "Write down the companies that have the intention to cooperate. Wait until after the press conference to choose the cooperation companies."


    "Okay, okay." Manager wang answered repeatedly.


    Hanging up the phone, gu mohan looked up and met a pair of expectant eyes.


    Ye zhi happened to hear more than half of the phone call just now. She heard that the clothes she designed were booked in advance, but this kind of thing had never happened before, and she still couldn''t believe it.


    Gu mohan crossed his long legs and looked at her with a smile, then nodded and said, "You heard right. There are many companies looking for cooperation, and your design has achieved unprecedented success."


    "Really?!" After the guess was confirmed, ye zhiqiao immediately became confident. The joy in her heart was beyond words, as if a bubble was about to burst out.


    Even though he has become famous, getting the recognition of the public is still a thing that excites every designer.


    And this time the clothes were only on their bodies, they did not know who the designer was, which means that they did not recognize the title "Wake up," but ye zhiqiao''s design!


    Seeing how happy she was, gu mohan unconsciously smiled and suggested, "I wanted to make something for you at home, but since it''s such a happy occasion, let''s go out and celebrate."


    Ye zhiqiao was in a state of excitement. She was happy to hear everything and immediately agreed.


    Until sitting in the car, ye zhiqiao''s mouth was still uncontrollably raised, looking at gu mohan a little amused.


    "Why are you so happy? Haven''t you won all the awards that were much better than this before?"


    The air conditioning in the car was a little stuffy. Ye zhiqiao opened a gap in the window, and the fresh and cold wind blew in.


    She wrinkled her nose and said, "That''s not the same. At that time, I was in the ascendant stage. I won all the awards to prove that I could, but now that the name'' wake up'' has been established, sometimes I have the chance to wonder if I am still improving and whether I will stop there."


    Gu mohan quickly turned around to look at her. He gently tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and said, "Now that you''ve proven yourself again, why are you so happy?"


    "Yeah, right." Ye zhiqiao took a breath out of the window and added, "But I''m happy to make money."


    "So it''s greed!" Gu mohan smiled and looked ahead, joking.


    The two of them chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.


    In fact, it was just a joke. Most of the time, ye zhiqiao was talking alone. Gu mohan listened carefully with a gentle smile and nodded his head from time to time.


    When ye zhiqiao got excited, she couldn''t control herself until she sat at the table with her eyes narrowed and smiled.


    Gu mohan looked at her and found her adorable, and his mood improved. However, when he saw that she had ordered two bottles of red wine, he couldn''t help but stop her.


    He took the wine list and glanced at the wine that ye zhi had ordered and explained, "This kind of wine has a high alcohol content and is not suitable for you to drink. Just order one bottle."


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and smiled, "It''s okay. I like to drink when I''m happy. Don''t worry. I can drink well."


    Seeing that she insisted, gu mohan could not persuade her any further. He thought that since she was happy today, let her be.


    Soon, everything that the two of them ordered was ready. Ye zhiqiao took the lead in picking up the bottle and pouring it for gu mohan and herself.


    She raised her glass to invite him. Gu mohan smiled and raised his glass. The glasses collided and made a light and pleasant sound.


    "Congratulations to miss ye zhiqiao on her new achievements." Gu mo sneered.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly, shaking the red wine in her glass. Under the bright overhead light, her eyes sparkled.


    "That''s great." She said softly.


    Gu mohan followed, "That''s great."


    They all knew what the other person was thinking. Not only was it great that the design succeeded, but it was also great that all the difficulties had passed. It was great to let go of the past. It was great to live like this.

 Chapter 123 Moms Dishes

    Ye zhi coincidentally ate the steak gu mohan had cut and handed over, then looked out the window and was lost in thought. After a long time, she said, "This is really delicious."


    Gu mohan knew that she liked beef and felt a little strange when he heard this, so he looked up at her expression carefully.


    Ye zhi qiao paused and then said, "When I was a child... When my mother was around, she would cook me a pot of tomato beef soup every weekend. When the tomato was cooked, it would melt into the soup slowly. It would make me have an appetite if I looked at it red. So would beef. I had to stew it with tendons for a long time until it was all soft and rotten. It was filled with soup."


    There was a longing in her voice, as if she had returned to that time when her mother was busy shuttling through the kitchen, sitting on the fire in a casserole, purring hot air, and the whole house was filled with fragrance.


    Ye zhiqiao retracted her gaze, lowered her head, forked a piece of beef, and chewed it slowly in her mouth.


    The steak was well fried, medium thick, tender and juicy, and the sauce on top was rich and rich, which was a great enjoyment for the taste buds.


    But it was still not right. The faint and warm smell was what she remembered.


    Gu mohan put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin and stared at her deeply.


    She could see that she was a little tipsy, her eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a layer of fog inside, as if tears would fall at any time.


    Glancing at the bottle, he realized that there was more than half of the wine in it. Just now, seeing how happy she was, gu mohan did not stop her. He did not expect her to get drunk directly.


    Gu mohan was amused, but when he noticed her expression, he could no longer laugh.


    Under any circumstances, as long as a person was drunk, the thought was almost heartbreaking. It seems that ye zhiqiao was in this situation.


    He was clearly in high spirits before dinner, and after a few drinks, all that came up was grief.


    Ye zhiqiao''s journey was indeed bumpy. Ever since her mother passed away and her father married her stepmother and gave birth to her younger sister, she seemed to have lived a completely different life from before. The little princess, who had been pampered by thousands of people, suddenly fell into the abyss and became cinderella.


    Gu mohan leaned over and held her hand that was holding the fork. He took it out and put it aside, "Next time we go to a chinese restaurant, I know one. The home-cooked food there is really good. You will definitely like it."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at his movements, shook her head and said, "Don''t worry, I''m fine."


    As she spoke, she picked up her spoon and ate the corn kernels on the side.


    "In fact, they treat me well too. They let me study my favorite subject and send me abroad after I go to college. Without them, I wouldn''t have woken up today."


    Feeling dizzy, she tilted her head to scoop up the remaining corn and said, "I studied very hard at that time. When the other students were relaxing and resting, I was still sitting there practicing without moving. I was the first in every exam and almost got the place in the competition."


    "You said I had talent, right?" Ye zhiqiao blinked at gu mohan, pouted and said, "There is indeed a little bit, or else I can''t keep doing this, but I don''t rely on luck. I can''t entrust my future to such illusory things. I can only rely on hard work."


    Gu mohan knew how much hard and hard it would take to succeed. He supported the gu family all the way and experienced it deeply. However, at this moment, he looked at ye zhiqiao in front of him and only felt endless pity in his heart.


    After ye zhiqiao finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass and looked up to find that it was empty. She reached out to reach for the bottle.


    Seeing this, gu mohan hurriedly moved the bottle to his side and pretended to complain, "I didn''t see it at first sight. I made you drink so much. You''re all drunk."


    "No, I''m not drunk." Ye zhiqiao shook her head and reached out to grab it, but found that her arm was so weak that she could not use her strength.


    She tilted her head in disbelief and tried to open her eyes wide. "Am I... Drunk?" She asked in an incredulous tone."


    Gu mohan glanced at her, her strength gradually rising, and her mouth was a little unclear.


    Seeing that gu Mohan did not answer, she shook her head as hard as she could. It seemed that there was a pot of porridge in it.


    "I think I''m really drunk." She finally admitted.


    Gu mohan rested his elbow on the table and looked at her sideways, laughing, "You finally realize..."


    I was about to say, "You finally realize this." Halfway through, the woman across from me suddenly seemed to have been drained of her strength and collapsed on the table.


    How dare you call yourself a good drinker?!


    Gu mohan gritted his back teeth and thought to himself: never listen to her boasting in the future.


    She was furious, but she still had to be brought home. Gu mohan called the waiter to pay the bill and walked out with ye zhiqiao.


    Fortunately, ye zhi was so thin that gu mohan wrapped his arms around her shoulders and used a little strength in his hands to let her lean against him, bringing her to the car without any trouble.


    I wanted to put her in the back seat. It was spacious, and she would be more comfortable lying there.


    However, when gu mohan saw her lying there empty-handed, he estimated that one brake would have to throw her to the ground, so he had to move her back to the co-pilot.


    In this way, ye zhi coincidentally woke up, looked at the narrow space around, and asked with a big tongue, "Where is this? Where''s... Beef?"


    He never forgets to eat.


    Gu mohan closed the door and fastened his seat belt, then said helplessly, "I''ll let you eat when you wake up. You''re still dizzy, aren''t you? Tell me if you want to vomit. Don''t hold it in."


    "Mmm." I don''t know if I understand, but ye zhiqiao vaguely agreed.


    Gu mohan chuckled and stepped on the accelerator to drive as smoothly as possible.


    "What else do you want to eat besides beef?" He asked casually.


    After drinking too much wine, she was slow to react. Ye zhiqiao dragged her long voice "Yes" for a long time before she remembered to say, "Curry chicken, crab roe tofu, and..."


    Her head suddenly short-circuited, and she forgot the name of the dish. Ye zhiqiao patted her forehead in frustration and complained, "It''s all your fault for making me drink so much. I... I can''t remember anything now."


    He was the one who wanted to drink, but no one else could stop him. Now he''s even making a mistake?


    Gu mohan sighed and said, "Yes, it''s all my fault."


    "Hey! Where did I go first?" Ye zhiqiao excitedly turned her head and asked.


    "You said it was my fault for letting you drink so much, you..."


    "No!"


    Before he could finish speaking, ye zhiqiao interrupted, "It''s not that. I clearly said that I worked hard, not just relying on talent!" !!


    The corner of gu mohan''s mouth twitched and he looked at ye zhiqiao speechlessly, thinking to himself, "This woman is terrible to be drunk."

 Chapter 124 A Hearty Lunch

    Thinking of her design, ye zhiqiao smiled again.


    "My design was successful this time, and it''s one step closer to my dream."


    "Dreams?" Gu mohan turned his head in surprise. He had never heard her mention it before.


    Ye zhiqiao looked ahead with a deep yearning in her eyes, "Yes, I want to design more clothes. I don''t have to cater to the requirements of the customers, but according to my own ideas, I can create freely. If that can still be recognized by the public, then it is the real success of''mengxing''."


    With that, ye zhiqiao couldn''t hold her eyelids which were getting heavier and heavier. She closed her eyes slowly again and fell asleep.


    Gu mohan pursed his lips and nodded. Looking at ye zhiqiao, who was sleeping soundly, he said firmly in his heart, "I remember your dream."


    Ye zhiqiao was awakened by thirst, and her mouth seemed to be stuffed with a handful of sand. It was dry and itchy, with a strange smell.


    Subconsciously, she reached around and felt for nothing.


    The room was blocked by the curtains, and she barely opened her eyes. She could not see clearly. It took her a long time to realize that it was her bedroom, and it was quiet.


    There was an alarm clock on the bedside table. When she took it over, she was shocked to find that it was already one o'' clock in the afternoon.


    She had dinner with gu mohan at more than six in the afternoon, which meant that she had slept from that time until the next day!


    Ye zhiqiao lifted the quilt and sat up. Only when she moved did she feel dizzy and painful. It turns out it''s not good to be drunk.


    There was no time for that. The most important thing now was to find water. She touched her lips and they were cracked.


    The slippers on the bed went out, and as soon as she went down the stairs, she smelled the aroma of the food. Ye zhi happened to sniff, and suddenly became refreshed. Her heavy head was much more comfortable. She thought to herself, what time is it? Did aunt Li just cook?


    She rubbed her temples and walked to the kitchen, not expecting gu mohan to be the one busy inside.


    Gu mohan also found her and beckoned her in. He sprinkled salt into the pot and said, "If you don''t wake up, I''m going to go up and call you. I''ve been sleeping for so long. If you don''t wake up, you''ll sleep like a fool."


    Then he put the last dish on the plate and put it on the table in front of ye zhiqiao. He pulled out the chair and said, "Sit down first. I made you some honey lemon water. Can you have a drink first?"


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded and agreed, then sat down at the table.


    She counted all the dishes on the table and there were eight!


    "Did you do all this?" She turned her head and asked.


    Sweet and sour pork ribs, curry chicken, crab roe tofu... And even a tomato beef soup!


    Gu mohan came over with the glass in his hand and looked at her expression carefully. Realizing that she might have forgotten what she said after she was drunk yesterday, he did not mention it again. He handed the glass to her and said, "Aunt Li handled all the raw materials. I''m responsible for cooking them."


    Ye zhi took the cup by chance and dried the contents in one mouthful. She smacked her lips and praised, "It''s delicious, sour and sweet."


    After quenching her thirst, her eyes returned to the table full of food. Only then did she realize that her stomach was empty and her saliva began to flow unconsciously.


    Gu mohan pulled a chair and sat down opposite him. The kitchen table was small and the two of them were very close. He filled a bowl of rice with rice and placed it in front of ye zhiqiao. He handed the chopsticks over and said, "Eat quickly. Little treasure had already eaten with aunt Li just now. These are all yours."


    "Have you eaten?" As ye zhiqiao spoke, she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of beef soup.


    Gu mohan had already eaten, but he wanted to have some more with her, so he said, "After cooking, he''s hungry again."


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at him and gave him the soup bowl in her hand, then refilled it for herself.


    "Have you been busy cooking so many dishes? But I''m hungry too. Let''s eat."


    Without waiting for gu Mohan to speak, she had already picked up a piece of ribs and started chewing them.


    Gu mohan smiled and put a piece of vegetable in her bowl, "Eat some vegetables, too. Your stomach will definitely be uncomfortable after drinking. Eating too much fat will be a burden on your stomach."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded vaguely, put the finished bone into the garbage box, and picked up a pig''s foot.


    She was really hungry, and she didn''t have the time to look up at Mohan, stuffing her mouth with food one after another, her cheeks puffed up, and she pressed down on the soup.


    Gu mohan kept looking at her, smiling from the corners of his eyes and brows, looking at the untouched vegetable in her bowl.


    Although ye zhiqiao was focused on the food, she still felt a little bit after being stared at for a long time. She subconsciously glanced at gu Mohan, who was staring at her with an ambiguous smile, and paused in her chewing.


    "What... What''s wrong?" Her mouth was still full of food, and she had to keep her mouth shut when she spoke. She was careful, and her voice sounded especially funny.


    Gu mohan suppressed the rising corners of his mouth, lowered his head and took a bite of rice. He shook his head and said, "It''s okay. You can continue eating."


    Ye zhiqiao was a little strange and felt uncomfortable eating. She didn''t know why he smiled, so she tried to praise him, "You''ve really improved your cooking recently. It doesn''t taste any worse than aunt Li''s cooking."


    "Hmm?" Gu mohan looked at her in surprise, then smiled and said softly, "You like to eat. I cook for you every day."


    At first, he learned to cook because ye zhiqiao stayed up late and worked overtime. He wanted to nourish her. Later on, he found that every time he saw ye zhiqiao eat his food and show a satisfied smile, a kind of happiness and gratification arose in his heart.


    As long as he could make ye zhiqiao happy, even if it was a meal, or even a trivial matter, he was willing to do it.


    Ye zhiqiao was satisfied with her lunch. Her stiff and sore body seemed to be feeling much better. Seeing that gu Mohan had put down her chopsticks, she stood up and said, "You''ve been busy for a long time. I''ll take care of the dishes. Go and rest for a while."


    After that, she put away the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and walked towards the pool.


    Gu mohan quickly stopped in front of her, took the thing in her hand, raised his chin, and said to the direction upstairs, "I''m not tired. You should go. You drank so much yesterday, you won''t be able to rest for a while."


    "No, no..." Ye zhiqiao said as she tried to grab the bowl from his hand.


    Gu mohan lifted his hand to a place she couldn''t reach, then pushed it out with his shoulder, "Don''t argue with me. Go to bed obediently. Don''t forget to take a hot bath first. You''ll feel much better."


    Ye zhi was not as strong as him, and she was already a little dizzy, but he had to turn around and go back to his room.


    Gu mohan quickly put the leftovers into the trash can, then stood by the sink and carefully washed the dishes. He had never touched anything before, but now he was able to do it.

 Chapter 125 Design New Clothes

    Ye zhiqiao slept straight into the night. When she woke up, she only felt that her mind was clear and her limbs were light, as if she had been reborn.


    She had already taken a bath before going to bed, so ye zhiqiao prepared to take a quick shower and then went downstairs to see if she had anything to eat. She had never known that sleeping was so tiring. She had eaten too much before, but now she felt empty in her stomach.


    While washing up in the bathroom, the bedroom door was knocked on. Ye zhiqiao patted the lotion on her face and walked over to open the door.


    Gu mohan was standing outside the door, holding a tray of rice and fried vegetables.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was in good spirits, gu mohan''s expression was much lighter. He raised his chin and asked with a smile, "Don''t let me in?"


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao''s hand was still patting her face. As he reminded her, she quickly put down her hand and took a step back to let him in.


    He went to the table and handed out the things in his hands. He turned to her and asked, "Are you hungry?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded honestly and then sat down at the table, "Didn''t you go to work today? Stay in the kitchen and estimate the time to cook for me?"


    Otherwise, how could gu mohan finish the meal every time she woke up?


    Gu mohan lowered his head and chuckled. She was exaggerating, but the truth was similar. He had been sitting in the living room all day, flipping through the recipes, coming upstairs every hour to hear if she was awake. He had just looked at the time and felt that even if she was not awake, he had to ask her to get up and eat something before she went to sleep. Then he started to cook in the kitchen. He didn''t expect to hear her moving around when he brought it up.


    He took off the towel that ye zhi happened to put around her neck, pointed at the food on the table and said, "Eat quickly. It''s already past eleven. Are you hungry?"


    Ye zhiqiao obediently picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of egg soup and put it into her mouth. She nodded and said, "I''ve been sleeping for too long. I''m not in the mood now. I think I''ll have to sit in bed and stare all night."


    Gu mohan pushed the distant order in front of her, feeling that she didn''t eat well tonight, and asked casually, "Didn''t you say you were hungry? Why are you eating so little?"


    She picked up the food one by one and then swallowed it in small mouthfuls. It really looked like she had no appetite.


    Ye zhi qiao bai glanced at him. At lunch, he stared at her without blinking. Didn''t he just snicker at her for not eating gracefully? At that time, although she did not react, but the more she thought about it in the bath, the more wrong it became. His eyes were clearly laughing at her, and he did not dare to admit it.


    This time, she learned to be smart. She ate like a lady, and saw if he dared to laugh.


    Gu mohan also thought of the way she wolfed down her food at noon. She looked like a refugee, and the contrast was too great.


    Then, just when ye zhiqiao thought that she would never leave a laughing stock behind, the corner of gu mohan''s mouth twitched and he burst out laughing. This smile was different from that at noon and could be described as presumptuous.


    Ye zhiqiao held the chopsticks tightly and tightly, but she still couldn''t hold back, her face flushed with shame.


    She was already as white as a carved jade, and her blush was even more obvious than the others, as if a fire had been set ablaze. Gu mohan noticed it and quickly shut up.


    Although ye zhiqiao usually looked very easy to talk to, but in fact, his personality was very strong. He laughed too much, what if it really made her angry?


    The table suddenly quieted down and was a little awkward. Gu mohan quickly changed the subject and said, "You''ve had a good rest these days, but I still want you to adjust for another two days."


    During lunch, ye zhiqiao mentioned that she was going to continue working and asked gu Mohan for his opinion. He didn''t reply and said that he wanted to think about it. In fact, ye zhiqiao could make her own decision about this kind of thing, but during the time she got along with him, her feelings for gu mohan had changed, so she still wanted to ask him for his opinion on this kind of thing.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I know my own situation best. If I continue to do nothing like this, I think the whole person will be rusty."


    Her attitude was very firm, and gu mohan could not stop her, so he asked, "Have you thought about what you want to do next? Do you want to go back to mengxing group or do you want to do something else?"


    Ye zhiqiao also considered this question, but she decided not to wake up temporarily.


    For a while, she had taken a break in the name of a vacation. Anyway, the vacation was not over yet, so she didn''t have to go back in such a hurry. Secondly, mengxing''s development was very good under the management of the people sent by gu mohan. She didn''t need to worry at all.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled, pointed to the design book beside her and said, "I want to take this time to design new clothes, and then produce and sell them on my own. If the results are good, I will also consider holding a small show."


    "Yeah." Gu mohan nodded, feeling that this idea was feasible, then suggested, "Anyway, this time it''s up to you. There''s no need to sleep and eat like last time. Work day and night. Just stay at the villa and work. If there are any difficulties, I can come over and help you anytime. How about that?"


    Indeed, there was no time limit this time, and the rhythm could be completely controlled by himself. Ye zhiqiao did not hesitate and answered directly.


    Seeing that she agreed, gu mohan immediately became happy, his face still calm, but the smile in the corner of his eyes could not be hidden. This time, he could face her day and night again.


    The last time ye zhiqiao said what she had always dreamed of when she was drunk, gu mohan kept it in his mind. This was just the first step. In the future, he would help ye zhiqiao step by step and expand her dream. As long as she wanted to do something, he would help her unconditionally.


    The design was easy to say, but it was time-consuming and laborious to do. Having assistants in the company to share the busy night, working alone at home would naturally make it even more difficult.


    Not to mention the most basic design drawings and small samples, just purchasing raw materials and cutting is a time-consuming and laborious task. In the first few days, ye zhiqiao was very busy, but the design drawings still did not make any progress.


    Gu mohan felt that this was not possible, so he discussed taking over the task of buying clothes. During the day, ye zhiqiao was focused on drawing designs at home, so he drove the car outside to choose the right fabric. After a day, both of them were physically and mentally exhausted.


    But I can''t rest at night.


    The finished design drawings needed to be made into small pieces one by one. After the two of them had looked at the small pieces and passed through them all the time, they had to scale up the small pieces to make the original ones, then they could keep them until they were finally sent together for production.

 Chapter 126 Division of Labor and Cooperation

    At 10: 00 pm, ye zhiqiao''s bedroom was still lit, and a thin figure was busy inside, sorting out the sketches made yesterday and picking out the sketches that were made for the first time today. Occasionally, she would find the corresponding design drawings, paint on them, and make some modifications.


    After the design was modified, the previous sample was also thrown into the trash can, and the previous steps had to be redone.


    This was exactly what gu mohan saw when he came in with a paper bag.


    Ye zhiqiao was frowning. Seeing that he was back, she quickly put down the drawing in her hand and asked him how his harvest was today.


    "Not bad. The few fabrics that I didn''t find a few days ago were all found in a small shop in a remote location today. The boss also praised me that the people who could think of using this kind of fabric must be professionals. They all belong to the same kind of work, so in the end, they wiped off all the change, which was much less than you expected."


    Hearing this, ye zhiqiao was in a much happier mood. She took the paper bag in gu mohan''s hand and looked at it. She praised, "It''s really good. They are all high-grade products. The first products made with this will definitely be beautiful."


    Then he looked at Mohan''s dusty appearance and said in a gentle voice, "You''ve been tired all day. Do you still have to go to work tomorrow? Go back and rest. I''ll do the rest by myself."


    Gu mohan was puzzled and asked, "Aren''t you going to sleep?"


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded, "It went well today. I drew a design draft. I have to make a small sample later. I also feel that the one I made yesterday is a little flawed. I just adjusted it. I have to redo it later."


    Every day, gu mohan would walk around the fabric stores after work. It was almost the same time when he came back with the selected fabric. He had always thought that ye zhiqiao would stop work after he left, but now it seemed that she was working late again.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan could not help but frown slightly and said unhappily, "Why did you suddenly faint a while ago and forget? How can you forget the pain when you get better? How dare you endure like this?"


    Ye zhiqiao had been hiding it from him, but she didn''t expect to let it slip out in a moment of anxiety. Now it''s probably useless to find an excuse to argue, so she softened her tone and said, "I''ll go to bed after I finish this. I won''t stay up too late."


    As she spoke, she raised her right hand above her head and made a "Vow" gesture, "I promise, I will definitely go to bed before 12 o'' clock."


    Gu mohan pulled her hand down and nodded, "I believe you."


    He agreed?


    Before ye zhiqiao could be happy, she heard him continue, "I will accompany you so that you can finish it quickly."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and quickly waved her hand, "No need. I can do it myself. You haven''t done this before. There''s nothing you can do."


    "How do you know I didn''t do it?" Gu mohan picked up a piece of cloth and cut it into a circle.


    Without tools, one can cut such a circle with one hand, and the cutting surface is smooth. One can see that it is very experienced.


    "What do you know about my company? If I don''t have any practical skills, how can I arrange work for my subordinates? How do I discuss the details with the client?"


    Ye zhiqiao was dumbfounded. This time, she had no reason to kick someone out. It was just that gu mohan stayed here to help. She didn''t know when she would be able to rest. She had been tired all day and had to stay up with her all night, which made her feel bad.


    Seeing what she was thinking, gu mohan pushed her towards the work desk that she had just moved in to facilitate her work. As he walked, he said, "Tell me what you need to do. When you''re done, we can all rest early."


    He said so, and ye zhiqiao had to work as he said.


    Ye zhiqiao took out the design draft that she was going to make today, compared the color and material of the fabric, and then handed one of them to gu mohan to help cut, while she focused on the small sample that needed a little modification.


    Gu mohan''s technique was skillful, and he quickly completed the task. Seeing that ye zhiqiao couldn''t make up her mind with the scissors, she went over to help with the research.


    "This neckline design was just popular last year, and this year''s market may not be too good."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said yes, then continued, "But when I design the cuffs and hems, they match the neckline. If I change the neckline, then what should I do next?"


    She also found the details of the collar and felt dissatisfied so she wanted to modify it, but after thinking about it, there was still no way.


    Gu mohan could not think of a way, so he stood there and thought hard.


    "Yes!"


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly had an idea and jumped up from the stool.


    She sketched a few lines on the drawing paper, then raised them to gu mohan''s eyes and said excitedly, "I always wanted to get my collar removed, but I always couldn''t find a way to think about it. Now I''m doing the opposite. Adding something on it will not conflict with the previous design, and it will also avoid similar risks as last year. How about that?"


    Gu mohan had long known that she had a unique talent in design. He bent down and patted her head face to face as if he were rewarding her, "How smart! Designer ye is very good!"


    Ye zhiqiao was in the excitement of solving the problem and didn''t notice his ambiguous movements. She took a piece of cloth and asked him to help cut it.


    Alas! Did he become a tailor?


    Gu mohan complained helplessly, but he was probably the only one who knew how sweet his heart was.


    From that day on, the two of them wanted to make a deal. They worked separately during the day and cut samples together at night. The results were exceptionally pleasant.


    After a period of time, most of ye zhiqiao''s production had been completed, leaving only the last draft of the men''s clothing design to be completed.


    When gu mohan came back from work at noon, he saw ye zhiqiao frowning and pursing her lips, facing the drawing board in front of her bitterly and deeply. Just as she was about to step in, ye zhiqiao suddenly reached out and grabbed the paper clipped on it, crumpled it into a ball and smashed it hard on the ground.


    He was confused by her sudden agitation and took a long time to walk over. He picked up the drawing paper and opened it to look. Seeing ye zhiqiao''s eyes cast over, he asked, "Don''t you like it?"


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao grudgingly agreed. This temper was not directed at gu mohan, but at herself.


    She scratched her hair impatiently. Her long, dark green hair, which had been neatly tied into a ball shape, was tossed like a pile of weeds by her.


    "I''ve drawn more than a dozen designs on this dress, but it doesn''t look right at all. The more I look at it, the more awkward it becomes. This is the last one. If the design is successful, I can put it into production. But here, the inspiration seems to be cut off. My mind is blank, and I have no idea at all."

 Chapter 127 Lost Inspiration

    Seeing that she was so upset and aggrieved that she was about to collapse, gu mohan followed suit and hurried to her side to pat her on the shoulder.


    "There''s no need to rush. There''s plenty of time off anyway. We can take it slow."


    Ye zhiqiao was a person who wanted to do it, but success was in front of her, she could not calm down, and for any designer, there was no inspiration in the middle of the creation, which was tantamount to walking in the desert and seeing a mirage of anger and hopelessness.


    Gu mohan knew that such verbal consolation had no effect on ye zhiqiao at all, so he had to think of a way in his heart.


    Not long after, he picked up the paper from the ground and said to ye zhiqiao, "Wait for me." Then he turned and walked out of the room.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what he was going to do. When she wanted to ask, she was already gone. Her mind was in a mess and she didn''t have the heart to care about so much anymore, so she picked up the brush and began to spend it on the paper.


    Gu mohan went downstairs and drove away without even having lunch.


    He called qin ning and told him that he didn''t go to work this afternoon, then drove directly to the road leading to the city center.


    He took a closer look at the drawing that ye zhiqiao threw away. It was a men''s dress with a european-style tuxedo and was made of pure wool. However, she seemed to want to bring out new colors and didn''t want to use the traditional pure black or pure white. Instead, she used the precious blue which was rarely used in formal banquets.


    It''s just that the sapphire blue color is tricky, and if it''s not used well, it will appear frivolous and vulgar, which should be the reason why she abandoned this design draft.


    Although it was abandoned, its design must also revolve around the main line in ye zhiqiao''s mind. As long as she looked for the same type of clothing according to the characteristics, it might bring inspiration to her thoughts.


    This was what gu mohan had come up with.


    When he came home with a shopping bag full of hands, ye zhiqiao''s face could be described as colorful.


    She wrinkled her nose and pointed at the thing in gu mohan''s hand, "You... What are you doing?"


    Gu mohan couldn''t wait to take out a paper bag and take out the contents. It was a dark gray tuxedo, very similar to ye zhiqiao''s design.


    "I bought a lot of these types of gowns. Some of them are similar, some are completely different. I''ll try them out for you one by one. How about that?"


    "That''s why you ran out without even eating?"


    Gu mohan nodded naturally and asked, "Shall I change now?"


    Instead of answering his question, ye zhiqiao reached out to hit him on the shoulder and complained, "Are you stupid? Just say no to me when you think of this. At least I''ll go out with you after dinner. Just try it on the spot and buy whatever you need."


    Gu mohan was shopping in high-end clothing stores, where almost all the clothes were custom-made and limited. With so many clothes added together, he didn''t know how much it would cost. Gu mohan would certainly not care about this, but ye zhiqiao felt very sorry, not only for money, but also for his heart.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was complaining and moved, gu mohan was a little embarrassed. He was willing to do all this for ye zhiqiao. Without any other thoughts, he quickly said, "While there is still natural light, hurry up and draw the design draft. By night, the color brightness will not be obvious."


    After that, he took off his coat and put on the dress in his hand, then looked at ye zhiqiao expectantly.


    Seeing that he was ready, ye zhiqiao no longer held on to the little awkwardness in her heart. She knew that only by creating a perfect design would he not let down his good intentions.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly entered the working state and changed her usual easygoing style. During the whole process, she frowned slightly and pursed her lips tightly.


    The tone of his speech was not as casual as usual. It was all formulaic and simple.


    "Turn around."


    "Yes, a little to the left. Show the cuff on your sleeve."


    "Try that dress again just now. There seems to be a detail on it that I didn''t notice."


    "This is the same style as before, but the color is different. You bought it again."


    Gu mohan was completely obedient. He would go wherever ye zhiqiao asked him to go. He would raise his arms if he wanted to. He would retract his abdomen if he wanted to. Although he wanted to complain that he had eight abdominal muscles and there was no fat at all, he endured it when he saw ye zhiqiao''s firm and serious gaze.


    He had to admit that even though ye zhiqiao was beautiful, she still had a unique beauty when she was working hard.


    Her hair was neatly curled up, and the broken hair at her temples would occasionally slip down to her white cheeks. She inadvertently tucked her hands behind her ears, then turned her head and looked in his direction with her clear and bright eyes, which naturally revealed a myriad of amorous feelings.


    Gu mohan was a little stunned, so that ye zhiqiao said to him that it was hard work, and he did not hear the sound of him sitting down.


    The whole world quieted down. Only ye zhiqiao was sitting in the sunset in the evening. Her breath was stained by the fiery red glow, like an elf in the jungle, beautiful and illusory.


    Ye zhiqiao was so focused on her work that she did not notice gu mohan''s candid gaze. When she looked up at the tall man again, it suddenly seemed as if a lost light had hit her eyes again.


    Yes! That''s the feeling!


    The half-way inspiration returned to her mind, and the feeling she had initially imagined finally reappeared.


    She quickly retracted her gaze, followed the thread in her mind, and quickly splashed the white paper in front of her.


    Style, color, accessories... It didn''t take much thought to think about it. It was as if they had a spirit and jumped onto the paper.


    In less than two hours, the last piece of clothing that bothered ye zhiqiao for a long time was finally finished.


    At this time, it was already dusk outside the window. The streetlights on both sides of the street set off, and the salty snowflakes were falling.


    Seeing that she had stopped writing, gu mohan finally stood up and walked over. He had been sitting beside her for two hours because he was afraid of interrupting ye zhiqiao''s train of thought.

 Chapter 128 Girl Hong

    Ye zhi took off the drawing paper and stood up. When she turned around, she realized that gu mohan was still there. She looked at his slightly tired face and asked in disbelief, "You won''t... Sit here all the time, will you?"


    I''m so tired from sitting here and drawing. If he doesn''t move for more than two hours, he''ll feel terrible.


    Gu mohan saw the concern in her eyes, and the tiredness that he had just experienced immediately disappeared. He walked in and looked at the drawing in her hand. He said with admiration, "It seems that my hard work has not been in vain. You have given me the best reward."


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at the drawing and smiled, "I like it too. Thanks to you..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, gu mohan patted the back of her head. Then he felt that he might have used a little too much strength. He reached over and rubbed her, "Without any thanks, I''ll take this design drawing to the design department. They can do the rest. You should rest before the finished product comes out. The show after that will probably take a lot of effort."


    Most of the previous designs had already been put into production and were close to the start of the final product show.


    Ye zhiqiao happily agreed, then said with a look of anticipation, "I don''t know if everyone will approve of my design this time, but I really like it!"


    Gu mohan smiled softly with a wrinkle in the corner of his eye, "Of course. Hmm... After so many days of work, how about going out for a good meal today? My treat."


    "Sure."


    Ye zhiqiao had long wanted to eat a big meal to sacrifice to the five viscera temple, so she immediately followed gu mohan out the door.


    This time, the two of them chose a chinese restaurant with an elegant environment, but because it was time for dinner, it seemed a little noisy.


    Gu mohan had obviously been here before and led ye zhiqiao straight into a private room on the second floor.


    After ordering, ye zhiqiao leaned on the table and asked, "Did you come here often? The waiter seems to know you."


    "I''ve been with clients a few times." Gu mohan wiped the cutlery over again and placed it in front of ye zhiqiao, "It tastes good here, but since it''s an antique style, the bowls and chopsticks are all made of wood. You can''t be too relieved to disinfect them. Remember to wipe them before you use them."


    What a delicate life!


    Ye zhiqiao secretly said in her heart.


    At this time, the waiter pushed the door and came in. There was a small porcelain pot on the tray in his hand.


    Ever since ye zhiqiao got drunk last time, gu mohan decided not to let her drink as much as possible. He went to the bathroom just now when he ordered. Before he left, he specifically told her not to order alcohol. If he wanted to drink, he would choose some juice tea or something.


    Now it seemed that she was clearly disobedient.


    Ye zhiqiao also knew that she was in the wrong. After the waiter left, she smiled at gu mohan''s obviously sunken face and explained, "I heard them say that this wine is the shop''s signature female red. It was brewed by their boss himself. Almost every table guest ordered it. They wanted to try it. I promise they only drank a little!"


    She said this last sentence very quickly and seemed to be more sincere.


    Gu mohan''s face softened a little, thinking that this meal was meant to reward her. She could do whatever she wanted. At worst, she would pay attention later. When she saw that she had drunk too much, she quickly stopped her.


    Seeing that he was not angry, ye zhiqiao quickly poured a glass of wine and handed it to him personally, "I haven''t had much white wine before. Try it for me and see if it''s really that good. Don''t be fooled."


    Gu mohan picked up his glass and took a look at it. His eyes were pale yellow, transparent and clear. Then he put it to his nose and smelled it. A strong fragrance came. Finally, he lifted his wrist and took a sip. The taste was spicy, but under the fine taste, it was mellow and fresh, with a lingering aftertaste.


    "Not bad. It''s good wine." He gave a comment.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately became happy and said with a little pride, "I told you, I definitely won''t make a bad choice."


    After that, she poured herself a glass and gulped down in excitement. She almost vomited and shed a few tears.


    Reaching out, she slapped her tongue and said with a sad face, "It''s so hot!"


    Of course it would be spicy to drink that much. Seeing that the dishes were all served, gu mohan put a pair of chopsticks into her bowl and mixed the shredded bamboo shoots.


    "It would be better to have some cold food."


    I thought ye zhiqiao would never touch the pot of wine after such a hot taste. Gu mohan was ready to pack the wine and bring it home, because he was driving here today, so he couldn''t drink.


    However, ye zhiqiao unexpectedly became more and more courageous. She took a sip like he did before, and in the end, it seemed that she really hit the bar and made a little taste.


    Gu mohan had been keeping an eye on her movements. She was about to get drunk, but when he tried to stop her, he realized it was too late.


    "Snap!" Ye zhiqiao slammed the wine glass onto the table with a thud, and then she asked herself strangely, "Why are you making such a big noise? I obviously... Didn''t try."


    Gu mohan helplessly supported his forehead, then took the glass in her hand and asked her to eat some more.


    Ye zhiqiao was already drunk, and after she was drunk, she was very strange. The strength of the wine came up bit by bit, even if it looked good at first, then she would be drunk and unconscious.


    She wasn''t strong enough to drink, and she was conscious. She obediently picked up her chopsticks to eat and muttered, "I''ve got a new design. I... I made it my own way this time, uh!"


    She separated herself from the wine and said, "I''m very happy, really, more than I''ve shown. My... My dream is... Getting closer."


    Gu mohan wiped his mouth, then rested his arms on the table and looked at her. He probably didn''t even know how indulgent and gentle his eyes were.


    Ye zhiqiao was still babbling, and her consciousness became more and more absent-minded, and her words became more and more boundless. However, gu Mohan still smiled and listened to her quietly. When she saw that she was bored, she would echo her words from time to time, which made her very happy.


    However, even if the process of eating was completed, it still could not resist the strong intoxication that ye zhiqiao slowly came up with. When gu Mohan came back from checking out to take her home, she had been lying on the table for some time.


    Gu mohan sighed helplessly, then carried her half-way out of the restaurant and into the passenger seat as he did last time.


    This time, she did not keep talking like she did last time, revealing all the little secrets in her heart, but the situation seemed to be even worse. She kept covering her stomach and groaning as if she was very uncomfortable.


    There were a lot of cars and pedestrians on the road at this time. Gu mohan tried his best to drive steadily, but he still had time to look at her. He kept comforting her, "Zhiqiao, wait a little longer. We''ll be home soon. When the time comes, drink some sobering soup and you''ll feel much better soon."


    She didn''t know if she heard it or not. She gave a vague "Yes" and continued to groan with her stomach in her hands.

 Chapter 129 After Getting Drunk

    "Ouch - ouch -"


    Ye zhi happened to lie down beside the toilet and kept vomiting, as if she was about to vomit out her internal organs. She reflexively shed a lot of tears and looked miserable.


    However, her head was so dizzy that she didn''t know what was going on. She felt as if there was a sun wukong hiding in her stomach.


    Gu mohan was not much better than her. He had vomited all over when he helped her out of the car and had not had time to change.


    Aunt Li was shocked. Gu mohan was such a delicate person. He had to dry clean his coat every time he wore it, but now that the sticky vomit was hanging on him, he didn''t look unhappy at all. He kindly asked himself to take care of little treasure and give ye zhiqiao to him.


    Ye zhi coincidentally vomited and felt much better. She lay on the floor beside the toilet and continued to be confused.


    Although gu mohan was confident, he did not have much experience in taking care of drunkards. The last time ye zhiqiao was drunk was the first time he had taken care of an alcoholic since he was born. This was the second time.


    The last time, ye zhiqiao was very obedient besides talking, but this time...


    Gu mohan frowned at the vomit in and out of the toilet, and there was a wave of discomfort in his stomach. He quickly closed his eyes, then only looked at the woman lying on the ground to divert his attention.


    He took off his dirty coat and threw it aside, then reached out and picked ye zhiqiao up. Fortunately, she just threw up outside, and her clothes inside were clean.


    Gu mohan carried her to the bed, took off her clothes and pants, washed a clean towel, roughly wiped her, and then put on her pajamas.


    The scrubbed ye zhiqiao seemed to be much more comfortable, curled up and rolled into the middle of the bed to sleep, watching gu mohan helplessly and amused.


    Ye zhi coincidentally slept with him but couldn''t rest. There was still a mess waiting for him to clean up in the bathroom.


    After cleaning up the bathroom with a mask and enduring the nausea, he finally took a comfortable bath and returned to the bed.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao had already fallen into a deep sleep, quietly motionless, breathing light and steady, coupled with her tender skin that seemed to be able to pinch water, it looked like a little baby.


    Gu mohan was a little fascinated by the sight and unknowingly sat down beside her.


    When he came back just now, he directly carried ye zhiqiao into his room. I don''t know if it was really because it was more convenient to take care of her or because he wanted to see her sleeping face more.


    Gu mohan felt that he was taking advantage of the danger of others, but he could not control it. He slowly raised his hand and stroked ye zhiqiao''s cheek.


    After ye zhiqiao drank, her cheeks were red, and she felt a little hot. Her lips were red, like a full cherry. Gu mohan could not resist touching it, and it was as soft as he thought.


    Probably feeling itchy, ye zhiqiao grunted impatiently, then mumbled something, then rubbed on the pillow like a kitten, and then fell asleep.


    Gu mohan''s heart softened at the sight of ye zhiqiao.


    Such a beautiful girl, should be like now, someone loves, loves, and doesn''t suffer a little grievance.


    Gu mohan put his slippers on the bed and leaned over to ye zhiqiao''s side. Then, he propped himself up and examined the woman''s delicate eyebrows.


    Knowing that she couldn''t hear it, she whispered about her decision, "I know you want to be free to create and design and continue to develop. I will always stand behind you and support you. And about the ye family, I''ve made up my mind. I''ll help you fulfill your wish and bring the ye family down. If they do this to you, I''ll avenge you."


    As he spoke, he patted her thin back and comforted her, "Sleep, sleep, you can be so happy in the future. I will protect you from the wind and rain and give you the best."


    It was another hangover. This time, ye zhi happened to have some experience. She had gotten used to the dizziness like last time, but she was surprised to see gu mohan standing by her bed dressed neatly.


    "How did you get in..." Came into my room.


    Originally, she wanted to ask, but when she glanced at it, she realized that this was not her room, but gu mohan''s.


    Realizing that she almost wronged someone, ye zhiqiao lowered her head in embarrassment and completely forgot how she was in gu mohan''s bedroom.


    Gu mohan saw that she did not react and did not take the initiative to lift it. He turned around and took the clothes on the sofa, signaling ye zhiqiao to put them on.


    "You want me to wear it? What are you going to do early in the morning?" Ye zhi happened to look at her watch. It was just over seven o'' clock, and she didn''t even have time to work.


    Then, looking at gu mohan in a tailored suit and his hair styled with apparent care, he became even more confused, "Are you going to be interviewed again?"


    Gu mohan reached out and pulled her out of bed. "It''s not me, it''s you," he said with a smile."


    As he spoke, he handed over the dress in his hand, "The series of clothes that you designed for gu''s a while ago are going to hold a press conference today. It''s in the afternoon, but we have to go there early. We will be very busy today."


    "O-" ye zhiqiao stared at her big confused eyes and tilted her head to ask, "Is there no time to eat?"


    She pressed her flat stomach and wondered why she was so hungry every time she got drunk.


    Gu mohan saw that she had been thinking for a long time and thought she had something important to say. Unexpectedly, he was hungry and pinched her small nose speechlessly, "Then hurry up and wash up. Breakfast is ready. We are waiting for you to eat."


    Yesterday morning, qin ning informed him that he was about to hold a new product launch. He came back at noon to tell ye zhiqiao about it, but he didn''t expect to meet the bottleneck in ye zhiqiao''s creation. He was busy helping her find inspiration, so he forgot about it. At night, qin ning called, and he remembered that there was something else.


    When she got up early, she saw that ye zhiqiao was sleeping so soundly that she couldn''t bear to wake her up. She quickly prepared breakfast by herself and then tidied herself up. Seeing that it was almost too late, she came to call her.


    With the help of gu mohan, ye zhiqiao dressed up neatly and followed him downstairs after washing up.


    Although the time was urgent, gu Mohan thought that drinking yesterday would hurt his stomach, so he carefully prepared a lot of nutritious food for ye zhiqiao.


    Millet porridge, steamed buns, soy milk, fried eggs, fruit and vegetable salad...


    Ye zhiqiao was already hungry, and when she saw these, her forefinger moved even more. The listless look that she had not woken up just now disappeared completely. She sat down and ate with her eyes shining.

 Chapter 130 A Press Conference Without an Audience

    After breakfast, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao drove directly to the company.


    The venue for the new product launch was on the first floor of the company, which was a dedicated showroom where gu''s previous launch was held.


    It was still early, but there were already people standing inside. The staff of the planning department were so busy that their feet were not touching the ground. All the departments rushed over to help.


    As early as the beginning of shooting promotional photos, the clothes designed by ye zhiqiao had already been appreciated by many people, and the company had suffered a big blow in the past few days, so everyone paid great attention to this press conference.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao squeezed through the crowd and saw the manager of the planning department standing on the stage, circling a group of models.


    "Manager li, what happened?"


    The manager of the planning department was a man in his thirties with the surname li. When he saw gu Mohan coming over, he immediately came over as if he had found the backbone.


    "Mr. Gu, Mr. Ye." He greeted the two of them in turn, then said anxiously, "I''ve been arranging models for this series of clothes for a week. I''ve already signed all the contracts, but this morning, a model suddenly said that I can''t come. What should I do?"


    "Can''t come? Can''t we find someone to replace it?" Gu mohan asked.


    Manager li shook his head and explained, And I spent a lot of time talking about this model because I thought she had an outstanding temperament."


    It was bad enough not to find a model, but the most important model for the dress.


    Ye zhiqiao was also flustered. This design was her compensation for gu mohan. Although gu mohan didn''t care, the guilt in her heart would not decrease. Now that something like this happened, it would definitely affect the press conference. Wouldn''t her previous efforts be in vain?


    At the thought of this, her eyes became misty and she looked at gu mohan and asked, "What should we do? Do you have any ideas? Or do you know any of the models you''ve worked with before? You have to find someone to save the day no matter what."


    Gu mohan was also anxious, but after all, he was able to maintain his composure after experiencing great storms.


    He comforted ye zhiqiao not to worry, then walked to the side, found a quiet corner and made a few phone calls, but the results did not seem ideal, he put down the phone with a slight frown.


    Ye zhiqiao was discussing a strategy with manager li. The sun rose in the morning and the rays of the sun shone brightly through the glass. It hit ye zhiqiao''s face and body like a beautiful oil painting.


    Gu mohan''s eyes suddenly froze, and a shocking thought appeared in his mind.


    He walked to ye zhiqiao''s side with a soft smile on his face and said slowly, "Zhiqiao, I''ve come up with a way."


    Both ye zhiqiao and manager li were stunned, and then they looked happy and asked in unison, "What''s the solution?"


    "You." Gu mohan took ye zhiqiao''s slender hand and pulled her around. She was dressed in a knee-length lavender dress, and she turned around gracefully. Her fair neck had a beautiful curve, like a swan bathed in the sun.


    "In the end, you will wear this dress."


    Ye zhi happened to be confused by gu mohan''s consistent actions, and the words he said made her feel even more ridiculous: "Me? I''m not a model."


    Gu mohan narrowed his eyes and smiled. The warm look stunned the staff around him. When did their president gu become so gentle? Someone who used to have to lower his speech by eight degrees could actually smile so beautifully.


    He pulled ye zhiqiao''s hands away and displayed the perfect curve in front of him, "Trust me, you don''t have to be any worse than a model. You will definitely attract the attention of the whole audience in your own dress."


    At two o'' clock in the afternoon, the press conference of gu''s "Wake up" designer''s new product was about to begin. The venue was all set up and all the employees were in position. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were sitting at the entrance, ready to welcome their colleagues and media friends.


    But as it was almost time for the official start, there were few media on the scene, and the audience was sitting under the stage, not even half of the seats were full.


    What''s going on?


    Gu mohan sensed something was wrong just now. Normally, the press would rush to report on the new product launch of such a large company as gu''s. The invitations sent to the audience were even sold at a high price. People would come a few hours earlier, and an hour before the launch was already full.


    It seemed that someone had done something behind the scenes on purpose. Gu mohan looked down at his watch and frowned.


    Ye zhiqiao also felt strange for a long time. Seeing gu mohan''s expression, she became more and more uneasy. She tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Is there an emergency? If there were still so many people in the beginning, what would we do?"


    This was not just a matter of whether the press conference would be successful or not. It was a matter of the face of the gu family. No one attended the press conference. If this news appeared on tv tomorrow, it would be like slapping the gu family in the face!


    Gu mohan also knew the seriousness of the matter. He patted ye zhiqiao''s hand and comforted her, "Don''t worry, it will be fine. I''ll think of a way."


    After that, he stood up and called for qin ning, who was waiting by the side, and led him to the corridor outside the door.


    Seeing this situation, qin ning guessed what gu mohan was going to tell her and asked, "President gu, should I contact the media?"


    Gu mohan nodded, then added, "By the way, find out what''s going on. There must be something wrong here. Don''t scare the snake."


    "Yes." Qin ning agreed, then turned around to leave, but just took a step and stood there.


    In the distance of the corridor, a group of people were bustling over. The person at the front was dressed in a white suit, followed by a group of media holding microphones and carrying cameras, as well as many colleagues in the industry.


    The crowd was getting closer and closer. Ye zhiqiao, who was sitting in the venue, heard the noise and ran out quickly.


    His eyes lit up when he saw the scene in front of him.

 Chapter 131 Walking with Me

    At this time, yi chen also noticed ye zhiqiao and hurried forward a few steps, then called the audience and the media behind him to enter first.


    The originally quiet venue immediately became lively. Ye zhiqiao knew that it was all due to yi chen, so she quickly thanked him, "Yi chen, thank you so much. The press conference is about to start. Not many people have come. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t know what to do."


    Ye zhiqiao was really anxious just now, so she was so happy and excited now. Her attitude towards yi chen was not as polite and distant as before, but more intimate.


    Yi chen looked down at her with a gentle smile on his face and said in a low voice, "Don''t tell me this. I''m honored to be able to help you. I don''t need to thank you at all."


    Ye zhiqiao was a little embarrassed when he said this, but after all, they helped her, and ye zhiqiao could no longer do business as before, so she immediately put her relationship aside and continued to thank them to express her gratitude.


    The two of them came and went in the corner of the door, but gu mohan wanted to maintain order in the venue and personally greet the big media and audience.


    But his eyes never left the two people outside the door, especially yi chen, who was smiling confidently.


    How could he know that gu''s press conference lacked the media and audience, and how could he have brought these people along at this time? Although it was a good thing that he could help with the fire, a fool would believe that he had no intention of simply providing help. Perhaps even today''s strange thing was caused by him!


    Gu mohan''s gaze at yi chen grew deeper and deeper. There was exploration, but more suspicion.


    This was a new product launch for "Mengxing." Ye zhiqiao couldn''t have been chatting with yi chen at the door all the time. She had to go backstage to keep an eye on the preparations, so after bringing yi chen to the first row of the audience, she went directly to the backstage.


    The backstage was in a mess at the moment. Manager li saw her as if she had seen a savior. He pushed aside the staff and ran over. His face was even uglier than he had seen this morning.


    Ye zhiqiao sensed that something had happened, so she hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Manager li, what happened?"


    Manager li was so anxious that he couldn''t stand still. As he pulled ye zhiqiao forward, he said quickly, "Something big has happened. All the models on the show are gone!"


    "What?!" Ye zhiqiao was shocked and couldn''t believe what he said, "Weren''t you still there in the morning?"


    When she arrived in the morning, she clearly saw a group of models standing on the stage. It would be reasonable to say that one or two of them had changed their minds, but all the models had disappeared before the opening ceremony. This had never happened before. Wasn''t that a big joke?!


    Seeing that she had stopped, manager li hurriedly pulled her forward and explained, "I don''t know what happened. They''ve been in the lounge since rehearsal. I think it''s almost time for the assistant to call for someone. I found that everyone is gone. I just got the news and was about to tell president gu. Now I don''t have time to find out the reason, so I have to think of a way to deal with it first."


    He said a car of words, ye zhiqiao picked out the key point and quickly pulled him to stop.


    "No, we can''t go to gu mohan now."


    Ye zhiqiao looked back and sighed, "When I came over, I saw gu mohan talking to a group of reporters. There was no need for a press conference at this level to be handled by a person of gu mohan''s identity. Plus, the accident just now, if we call him over now, it would be bad for those reporters to see something. It would not be just a loss of face."


    Manager li also saw the cold scene just now. After thinking about it carefully, ye zhiqiao made a lot of sense, but the problem of the model must be solved!


    Ye zhiqiao knew that he was in a hurry, and she was even more anxious herself, when assistant Xiao Man came over.


    Since this was the launch of the new product, she had already notified xiao man in advance to bring the employees of mengxing group over to help.


    When she saw Xiao Man, her eyes suddenly lit up and a bold idea appeared in her mind.


    Ye zhiqiao stopped Xiao Man and asked her to follow him. Then she said to manager li, "I thought of a way. It may be risky, but now I can only fight with my back."


    I heard that she had a way. Manager li couldn''t care less about taking risks. As long as today''s press conference could start normally, it would be enough for him not to lose his job!


    Immediately, manager li and Xiao Man followed ye zhiqiao to a relatively spacious place backstage. Ye zhiqiao said a dozen names and asked Xiao Man to call these people over. At the same time, he asked manager li to call the secretary and the host.


    When they arrived, ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and said with extra seriousness, "I have chosen all the people who are standing here. I hope you can help me, gu shi and mengxing group."


    The people around them all agreed and asked in unison what was going on.


    Ye zhi coincidentally looked at manager li and said, "Our press conference today was a twist-and-turn event. We just received another bad news. I think you all know it. Yes, all the models on the show are gone."


    As soon as she spoke, whispers were heard around her.


    Xiao Man stood up straight and said, "President ye, what do you need us to do? As gu''s and mengxing''s employees, as long as we do it, we will do our best."


    As soon as he said this, the rest of the people gradually followed suit.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled with satisfaction, then raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said, "Now the female colleagues standing here are all the people I usually pay attention to, with outstanding figures and looks. You know, the last dress on today''s show is displayed by me, I hope you can finish this show with me!"


    "Ah! Let''s go to the show?!" A female employee exclaimed.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "That''s right. Even without a professional model, the staff in our company can work together to get through this difficult situation, and we can do no worse than anyone else. Do you... Believe in yourself?"


    There was another whispering sound, and ye zhiqiao was not sure whether they would like it or not. This kind of thing was very likely to be difficult to please, and tomorrow''s newspaper might be full of sarcasm and sarcasm.


    Suddenly, someone said loudly, "We are no worse than others."


    Then the sound came and went, echoing all over the backstage.


    Xiao man nodded at ye zhi and said, "Mr. Ye, don''t worry. We can do it well."

 Chapter 132 Kneel Down on One Knee in Front of Ye Zhiqiao

    Ye zhiqiao arranged for one of the assistants under Xiao Man and manager li to take the female staff to try on the dress, then turned her eyes to the secretary and the host who had been standing by the side.


    She said to the host first, "The model has changed, and the prepared explanation can''t be used anymore. It may take your time, so please familiarize yourself with the new explanation later."


    Then he said to manager li''s secretary, "It''s too late to find a professional. Can you write a temporary explanation for the model for the next show?"


    Of course, the two agreed. It was urgent and everyone was willing to help.


    After arranging everything, ye zhiqiao said to manager li, "I''ll trouble you for the rest. When gu mohan has time, find a chance to tell him about these changes so that he won''t make any mistakes when he talks to outsiders. You also know some common sense about the show. Hurry up and give us some."


    At that time, she decided to let ye zhi coincidentally walk on the show. The rest of them would be professional models. They would be in a fixed position and she would be able to play on the spot. But now, all the "Models" were amateurs, and everything had to be relearned.


    Time was urgent, and manager li didn''t say anything more. He handed over the reminder to the staff, then followed ye zhiqiao to the dressing room, and briefly explained some precautions when they were putting on their clothes.


    Gu mohan had just spoken to an important client, and when he got up and left, he saw a small employee standing beside him who seemed to have something to say. He was moved and walked over.


    When the staff saw him coming over, they came closer and whispered about what had happened. Gu mohan still had an elegant smile on his face, but he already had an idea in his mind.


    Ye zhiqiao did a good job. If he could not think of such a way, it was too late to say anything now. Everything could only be seen at the next press conference.


    Gu mohan had just sat in the first row when the press conference officially began.


    The curtain was already drawn around the venue, and the stage was as bright as day. The host''s opening speech, gu mohan, understood immediately that it had been revised. Some of the words on the show about famous models were deleted and replaced with the company''s introduction, which was mixed with some descriptions of employees, probably to pave the way for the next show.


    After so many ups and downs, gu mohan, who was already in an uneasy state of mind, could not help but raise the corners of his mouth and laugh in his heart. Ye zhiqiao could always bring surprises to people, as if any difficult thing could be hidden in her hands.


    In order to cooperate with the host''s opening speech, gu mohan also temporarily modified his prepared speech when he was on stage, and the fashion show finally began.


    The stage headlights suddenly went out, and countless dim lights lit up. Only one of the chasing lights appeared bright and dazzling, slowly approaching the center of the stage from the stage position.


    As the people on the stage got closer and closer, the outline became clearer and clearer. Gu mohan raised his lips and smiled lightly. He recognized the girl as Xiao Man, ye zhiqiao''s assistant.


    At this time, the media and audience in the venue also saw that something was wrong. Although the woman on the stage was beautiful and graceful, she was obviously not tall enough to look like a professional model.


    At this moment, the host''s voice sounded as melodious and mellow as a clear spring: "The beauty of the appearance only flows on the surface, refreshing and pure is what the heart wants. The model who comes to us is like this, and this light green dress is also like this..."


    With the introduction of the host, the audience really understood the theme of the show, and gu''s unique performance style, I don''t know who was the leader, from a weak applause, there was a warm applause.


    The media was also surprised by this new model, and then quickly pressed the shutter as the audience applauded.


    One by one, the female employees drew exquisite makeup, stepped on high heels, wore unique and elegant gowns, and went on stage in the continuous applause of the audience.


    Until the last model, ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao wore a green dress with dark green hair tied up in a bun behind her head. She walked gracefully with firm steps and followed the music onto the stage.


    The woman in the pursuit of light had beautiful features, a sculpted figure, and a pair of bright eyes. Just looking at you like that was enough to make people intoxicated.


    She walked forward, step by step, step by step...


    Gu mohan''s eyes followed her, as if they were brighter than the light. Finally, he couldn''t help but raise his hand and give her a thumbs-up.


    The applause from the audience was more intense than ever, and the shutters of the media sped up the flickering frequency. In the midst of all this noise, only gu mohan silently praised her.


    Unique, unique.


    Ye zhiqiao seemed to smile, but the smile was fleeting. She quickly turned around and met all the models walking up behind her. Together, she walked to the front of the stage and stood there, announcing the end of the show.


    Originally, she was afraid that standing among a group of professional models would make her look like a child, but now there was no such worry at all. A group of energetic girls were surprisingly fit in height and looked better together than ever.


    The audience applauded for a long time, and the models around ye zhiqiao had left the stage, leaving only her.


    As the main designer, she would also like to make a speech, introduce her creative ideas and works, and then thank the audience and the media for coming.


    When it was over, ye zhiqiao lifted her ankle-length dress and walked down a small staircase beside the stage.


    From the moment she appeared, gu mohan''s eyes did not leave her body for a moment. When he saw her come down, gu mohan quickly got up and prepared to go forward to congratulate her.


    She had contributed greatly to the success of this press conference. Now, she not only showed her strength in the design industry, but also in the management company. Gu mohan deeply felt that it was the right choice for her to take over mengxing group.


    Just as gu mohan was halfway there, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked coldly at the other side of the aisle.


    On the other side, yi chen walked in front of the crowd, followed by the audience he had just brought over, many of them young masters and young ladies from various business circles.


    Their target was obviously ye zhiqiao, who had just left the stage.


    Ye zhiqiao had a smile on her face all the time, but when she saw this large group of people, she couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Yi chen had already walked to her at this time. He was wearing a white suit today. The appearance of his white clothes and pants somehow complemented ye zhiqiao''s blue dress.


    He was standing about two meters in front of ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao was a little strange. When the two of them met in the past, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he always tried to get close to him, but today... Why did he suddenly leave a distance?


    Yi chen saw her confusion and smiled. Then he took a step forward with his left foot, bent his knee and knelt down on one knee in front of ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 133 Be More Lively

    Ye zhiqiao was shocked and hurriedly retreated, but behind her was the stage that was a block higher, and she could not retreat at all.


    Yi chen saw that she was nervous and smiled comfortingly. In fact, he was even more nervous himself, because the next thing he had to do was something he had never thought of in more than 20 years.


    He raised his right hand, only then did ye zhiqiao notice that he had been holding a small velvet box with a red surface tied with a ribbon.


    Ye zhiqiao was not stupid. The posture of kneeling on one knee and the small box that represented yi chen were enough for her to guess what yi chen was going to do next, but she was so shocked by the scene that she couldn''t tell, or she didn''t know what to say.


    She did not say, but yi chen had already opened the box and opened it to her in a gentle voice.


    "This is my surprise for you."


    Yi chen took out a ring inlaid with dazzling diamonds from the box and half-lifted it to reach ye zhiqiao.


    "I''m officially proposing to you today."


    As soon as he said this, the crowd around him started to roar.


    Yi chen waited for them to calm down, looked at ye zhiqiao''s eyes and continued, "We haven''t known each other for a long time, and my reputation before is not good, you don''t want to believe me temporarily, I can understand, but in the future, you will be my wife, and we will have a lifetime to understand each other. I will prove to you that I can be better for you."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were wide open and she still looked panicked. She had never experienced such a scene before and did not know what to do.


    "Don''t be nervous. I''m not afraid of your jokes. I''m even more nervous than you are. I don''t know if you''ll agree to me. Even though I''ve always been a confident person, I''ve always been timid in front of you."


    Yi chen straightened up and looked up at ye zhiqiao with a smile, "I''ve liked you for a long time, since the first time we met."


    At this point, he chuckled and said helplessly, "You may have forgotten the scene of our first meeting, but I still remember it, and I am very impressed. I was always out there, spending countless nights in a bar, but seeing you that night and saving you was the best thing I had done in all the time I had wasted. If you don''t remember, I will remember for you. I can do what you want. I will fulfill any of your wishes as long as you are happy."


    "Ye zhiqiao, marry me. I love you."


    After yi chen finished speaking, there was silence all around. Everyone''s eyes were on ye zhiqiao. As long as she raised her hand, the ring would pass through her fingertips, and she would become the fiancee of yi chen, the second young master of Yi''s enterprise. This was what many girls dreamed of!


    But ye zhiqiao''s face was filled with astonishment and bewilderment.


    Not touched, not surprised, not even hesitant... Only stunned and at a loss.


    Gu mohan was standing there, not far from ye zhiqiao''s position. He could clearly see her expression, her expression, and yi chen kneeling in front of her, the diamond ring in his hand.


    Gu mohan clenched his hands into fists and tightened them. His heart was full of mixed emotions and he could not feel them.


    What are you talking about? Yi chen was proposing to her, telling her how much he loved her and wanted her to marry him. He knelt there, prepared with diamond rings and words, and he could only stand here and watch, like an outsider.


    For the first time, gu mohan really felt that loss. It was like the cake he was thinking about in the cupboard. Suddenly, someone else was going to buy it. The man had already taken out the money and was waiting for the clerk to come over and deliver the sweet and beautiful cake to him.


    And ye zhiqiao is not a cake, she is alone! It was little treasure''s mother, the woman she cherished and wanted to hold in her arms!


    How could... Let another man kneel in front of her on one knee and propose to her?


    Gu mohan didn''t know what his expression was like now. Maybe it was anger, maybe it was disappointment, maybe it was frustration...


    But jian mengqi, who was standing on the other side, could see it clearly. The expression on his face was clearly jealous!


    Not only was it jealousy, but also the anger that was triggered by jealousy was gloomy. In short, it looked terrifying.


    Jian mengqi turned her head to look at yi chen kneeling on the ground and ye zhiqiao, who was at a loss, and shook her head secretly.


    Yi chen didn''t do it properly.


    Generally, a proposal is based on a relationship between two people. Even if this is the case, the person who was proposed already has the idea of marriage, so that everyone can be happy with meimei.


    However, the practice of yi chen today was really unacceptable. Whether he was in love with ye zhiqiao or not before, even he admitted that the two had not known each other for a few days. Besides, ye zhiqiao showed no interest in him from the beginning to the end. Even gu Mohan was more suitable to propose to him.


    Didn''t he know that this would put ye zhiqiao in a difficult position? In terms of feelings, ye zhiqiao was already somewhat indecisive, otherwise she would not have been bullied by the ye family for so long before she thought of fighting back. Even if she did not like yi chen now, but in front of so many people,


    She must not be able to refute yi chen''s face, making him too embarrassed to step down.


    However, ye zhiqiao definitely did not like yi chen in her heart, which is undoubtedly true. Yi chen probably knew ye zhiqiao, so he deliberately designed this, which was like a proposal, or rather forced marriage more appropriate!


    Now the scene was quiet, everyone would think ye zhiqiao was nervous at first, sorry, but such a stalemate for a long time, it would definitely feel wrong, by then ye zhiqiao would be more awkward.


    Now, she was embarrassed. Seeing her expression, she knew that her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, not angry but anxious. She could not think of any way to solve this farce perfectly, but could not leave on her own. Yi chen was left alone to face the ridicule of the crowd, so now he was standing there alone. One moment, she wanted to reach out to help yi chen up, and the next, she wanted to say something. But in the end, nothing happened.


    Jian mengqi couldn''t stand it anymore. She had to find a way to save her best friend in the fire and water! With a sweep of the light, gu mohan entered her sight again.


    Since it''s already so lively, why not be more lively!

 Chapter 134 Are You Willing to Be My Girlfriend?

    Jian mengqi walked quickly to gu mohan''s side, took his hand and walked towards the crowd.


    Subconsciously, gu mohan wanted to avoid her touch. Seeing this, she blinked slyly at gu mohan and whispered, "Do you want to save ye zhiqiao? It''s up to you."


    Of course, gu mohan wanted to help ye zhiqiao and let her stay away from yi chen as soon as possible. He could no longer watch this picture, but even he did not think of any way to solve the current situation. What would jian mengqi think?


    Although she did not trust jian mengqi''s intelligence, gu Mohan did not shake off her hand again and allowed her to pull herself in front of ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhi coincidentally was already at a loss in the face of yi chen. Suddenly, gu mohan appeared in front of her. She looked at this and that one time. The astonishment on her face was even more serious than before.


    Jian mengqi pushed gu mohan from behind and said to ye zhiqiao with a smile, "He has something to tell you."


    Something to say?


    At this time, ye zhiqiao completely focused on gu mohan and looked at him doubtfully, completely unable to think of what he had to say to himself at this time.


    Not to mention that ye zhiqiao didn''t know, even gu Mohan didn''t know what to say.


    Jian mengqi pulled him over in a hurry, saying that saving ye zhiqiao was the way to save her? I knew I couldn''t trust her!


    But now there are more and more people watching, and there is an easy dust kneeling on the ground. Ye zhiqiao''s attention is all on him, and everyone else''s eyes are looking at him. At this time, it must be impossible not to say anything.


    "I..."


    Not much louder than breathing, even gu Mohan himself could not hear it, let alone the others. He only saw his lips open and said nothing.


    Gu mohan closed his eyes helplessly. He was sure that he had never been in a more complicated mood since he was a child.


    Originally angry and jealous, but now a little nervous and helpless, really... Really speechless!


    Jian mengqi didn''t expect gu mohan to be so tactless. She had already dragged him here. He didn''t know what to say yet. There was no other way. She had to lean closer to gu Mohan until her words could avoid the crowd around her. Then she whispered to him, "Master gu, are you stupid? He''s proposing here. What do you think you should do? Did you see him snatch ye zhiqiao away? Ye zhiqiao obviously doesn''t like him. You should help her quickly!"


    These words were simply squeezed out of the crevices of his teeth, with the meaning of "Rotten wood cannot be carved."


    This time, gu mohan finally understood what jian mengqi was thinking, but after all, he understood that there was no preparation. Could he just say it out loud and out loud?


    This is not his usual Mohan style!


    Say... Or not?


    The scene was quiet again. At first, the crowd stared at yi chen''s proposal, then at ye zhiqiao''s reply. Now, they all turned to gu mohan and were very curious about what he was going to say at this time.


    As time passed, the question still hovered in gu mohan''s heart.


    Say... Or not?


    Several times, gu mohan''s words had already reached his throat, but he finally swallowed them out of nervousness.


    No, no way!


    Just now, jian mengqi''s words appeared in gu mohan''s mind again. "They are proposing marriage here."" did you see him snatch ye zhiqiao away?"" ye zhiqiao obviously doesn''t like him...


    Gu mohan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at ye zhiqiao, who was standing opposite him.


    Everything around them gradually receded. There was no whispering, no crowd, no jian mengqi, no yi chen and that shiny diamond ring...


    There was only a beam of chasing light, quiet and hazy, falling on ye zhiqiao. There was an indescribable feeling, but it was just... Making people unable to move their eyes.


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and looked intently at the woman in front of him. His voice was gentle but extremely solemn, "Ye zhiqiao, what I want to say is - I like you."


    "To be exact, it started with the second meeting."


    Speaking of this, gu mohan suddenly paused, then a faint blush appeared on his face.


    The second meeting was at the airport, and under the guidance of little treasure, he saw ye zhiqiao. The first meeting was five years ago, when it was chaotic, but now he recalled the night that made him feel extremely lucky.


    A fleeting smile flashed across gu mohan''s face, then he returned to his serious expression and said, "Maybe it''s because of little treasure, maybe it''s because of work. Anyway, I don''t know when I will start paying attention to you without even realizing it. I will watch your every move, then I want to help you, and I want to get close to you."


    "We had misunderstandings, even heated arguments, and I... I did it, and I want to punch myself in retrospect, but from the beginning to the end, my attention to you and my feelings for you have not changed."


    As he spoke, gu mohan frowned, then lowered his head and immediately raised his head. He still looked into ye zhiqiao''s eyes and said with some remorse, "I didn''t prepare anything. I''m sorry, I didn''t have flowers and diamond rings, and I didn''t bring my friend''s blessings..."


    The tension started to build up, and his words were a little incoherent, but he continued firmly, "I will make up for all these things next time, so... Would you like to be my girlfriend?"


    With that, he slowly spread out his arms -


    The originally tall man made this gesture in a small space surrounded by people, as if he wanted to wrap the thin ye zhiqiao in his arms.


    He just asked, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" It was like the freshly boiled sugar in the little pot of a sugar man''s old man, sweet and burning to the ear.


    Ye zhiqiao was still in a trance, but her body had already reacted one step ahead of her.


    Her shoulders were leaning to the left, and she actually took a step back...


    This action greatly surprised jian mengqi. She subconsciously looked at Mohan''s face.


    Gu mohan''s arms were still awkwardly raised, obviously he did not expect ye zhiqiao to take that step back.


    When yi chen kneeled in front of her just now, she didn''t retreat. Why did she just stretch out her arms and retreat like a conditioned reflex?


    Ye zhiqiao blushed. She didn''t know why she was hiding, but now that she had done it, there was no way to save it.


    She glanced at gu mohan''s arm and coughed softly when she saw him put it down stiffly.


    She wanted to speak, but what happened just now made her blood concentrate on her head, her cheeks were burning, and even her throat was smoking.


    After a while, the status was finally adjusted. Ye zhiqiao said to gu mohan softly, "I''m sorry."

 Chapter 135 Ye Zhiqiaos Answer

    After that, ye zhiqiao lowered her head and said again, "I''m sorry, my mind is in a mess right now. I... Never thought about this question. Today... You said so suddenly, I was really... Really unprepared. I... Can''t promise you, I''m sorry."


    Then, she did not dare to look at Mohan''s expression anymore. She almost turned around with her eyes closed and looked at yi chen, who was still kneeling on one knee.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at yi chen and said seriously, "I''m sorry, young master yi. I think I''ve already told you clearly that I don''t like you and won''t marry you. So I hope you don''t have any expectations of me in the future. I wish you happiness."


    With that said, ye zhiqiao lifted her skirt and ran out of the conference hall, regardless of the surprise or curiosity of the people around her.


    Gu mohan looked at her back as she left, unable to recover for a long time.


    What did she mean by that? Refuse? She said he said it was too sudden, that she wasn''t ready, that it was a rejection... Or something else, did he have a chance?


    The crowd saw that the heroine had already left, and the two outstanding men were mercilessly rejected. They knew that there was nothing more to see. They packed up their things and walked to the door sparsely, whispering about what had just happened.


    Gu mohan''s heart was in a mess and he sat down on the stage beside him in disappointment. He put his hands on his head and rubbed his hair, his eyes filled with despair.


    He wanted to tell himself that ye zhiqiao just said that because she was embarrassed. She did not directly say that she did not like him, which proved that she had him in her heart.


    Everyone could hear the rejection in her words. She said it so tactfully, just to maintain his dignity so that he wouldn''t be too embarrassed, right?


    Gu mohan''s hand was gripping his hair hard again, exerting an upward force without knowing the pain.


    Although he was nervous before, he did not completely think about the results. He thought that ye zhiqiao also liked him, but they did not explain it. If he did not have a few percent confidence and a little expectation in his heart, he would never say these words on this occasion.


    But now the result proves that everything before is just his imagination, it is his one-sided self-indulgent, others did not mean that at all!


    Gu mohan was disappointed, disappointed, but even more unwilling!


    Why didn''t ye zhiqiao have any feelings for him? Why did he take a step back and say no to him?


    He had always been extremely arrogant, even conceited. For the first time, he had been so attentive to a woman that he never expected this to happen.


    Yi chen knelt on one knee for a long time on the hard marble floor. When he got up, his left leg was a little weak and he could not stand steadily. He simply took a few steps back and sat down in the nearest audience.


    His left leg was still stiff, and there might be pain, but he could not feel it at all. He stared at the ring in his hand in a daze, and the dazzling light reflected from it seemed to mock his foolish behavior.


    It was really stupid to buy a ring, flowers, and so many friends and be rejected by someone with a clear and firm attitude.


    Yi chen wanted to raise the corner of his mouth and laugh at himself, but his face seemed to be frozen and he could not make any expression.


    He really... Really couldn''t understand what ye zhiqiao was thinking.


    What''s wrong with him? Or did he do something wrong?


    Yes, he used to be a dandy and a playboy, but ever since he met ye zhiqiao, he listened to his brother''s words and entered the company for her. He learned the business knowledge that he would have a big head if he saw it. Every day, he smiled hypocritically at those customers. Everyone said that he had changed and become mature. Why couldn''t she see it?


    And the last time she went abroad to relax, he left everything behind without thinking. Even if she ignored him and ignored him, he still followed her firmly. Even when he met the robbers, he rushed forward to protect her and little treasure with one enemy to three. Until now, he could still see shallow scars on the palm of his right hand. Did she forget all this?


    Even if you don''t want to say yes for a while, then it''s okay to start with a lover, or go back for a while to think about it. Why should you say so firmly and decisively that you never liked him and would not marry him?


    How could this be?


    This was the question that gu mohan and yi chen were thinking about together.


    One of them sat by the stage, the other sat in the audience, both with a face full of unwillingness and confusion. All the audience and staff had left, and the door of the venue was closed, isolating everything from the outside world, leaving only silence.


    "Huh-"


    Gu mohan sighed and finally regained his senses. He raised his hands and looked at it, then laughed at himself.


    These hands were just trying to hug that woman. They were really overestimating themselves. He didn''t mean it at all. He was so sentimental. Everything he did before was really like a joke. It didn''t mean anything to ye zhiqiao. Everything he did was just touching and pleasing himself.


    Yi chen also reacted when he heard his sigh. After looking around, he realized that only he and gu mohan were left in the hall. Seeing the man who was rejected with him just now, he had no sympathy at all. He just felt that every time he appeared, he would ruin his good deed!


    "Hello!"


    Yi chen called out to gu mohan and said directly, "Master gu, how was your experience today?"


    Gu mohan turned to look at him, but the meaning in his eyes was unclear.


    Yi chen sat up straight, tilted his mouth and said with a hint of playfulness, "Young master gu, who has always been praised by the stars, was mercilessly rejected today when he confessed to a woman. How about that? This feeling is unprecedented, right?"


    Gu mohan narrowed his eyes, placed his hand on the stage and said faintly, "We are the same."


    Yi chen was obviously choked. I didn''t expect him to shoot a cold arrow at such a time!


    Instead, he continued with a sneer, "I''m not like you. I''ve been playing with women for a long time. I''ve never seen anything before, but I''ve just been rejected. I don''t feel embarrassed at all, but master gu is different. He usually pretends to be so noble. How ashamed is he now?"


    Gu mohan was annoyed and didn''t want to have these meaningless conversations with him. He stood up and tidied up his suit, intending to leave.


    But yi chen would not let him leave so easily.

 Chapter 136 Return All to Ye Zhiqiao!

    "Gu mohan." Yi chen called out to him.


    Gu mohan turned to look at him again.


    Yi chen looked up at him with a smile that did not reach his eyes. He turned the ring box in his hand and said, "Ye zhiqiao, I will not give up. One day, I will make her my woman willingly, you -"


    Yi chen put his arm on the armrest of the chair and pointed at gu mohan, who was standing opposite him. "Stay away from her," he said word for word."


    Gu mohan frowned imperceptibly, then returned to his expressionless face, "Does young master yi have any misconceptions about his abilities?"


    This was a question, but he used a completely declarative tone.


    Yi chen really couldn''t sit still. He withdrew his hand hatefully and said with a sneer, "Do I have a misunderstanding? I think your misunderstanding is bigger! When I was in Oslo, I could tell that your attitude towards ye zhiqiao was completely to treat her as your own woman. At that time, I really doubted if ye zhiqiao really had any interest in you. But now it''s completely clear that she rejected you like she rejected me, right?"


    He raised his hand and continued, "Don''t be so quick to mock me. Just hear me out. Maybe you''ll know how ridiculous you are."


    "Think about it for yourself. How long did ye zhiqiao know me, how long did she know you, and how much longer did you two spend alone? And your precious daughter, didn''t ye zhiqiao like her very much? Even ye zhiqiao''s friend seemed to be on your side, but what happened? Aren''t you a businessman? From a business perspective, you have so many advantages in your hands, but in the end, you got the same result as me. What does that mean?"


    As he spoke, gu mohan''s face grew darker and his eyes grew increasingly unfriendly.


    Yi chen finally said, "This means that ye zhiqiao doesn''t like you at all, not just now, never!"


    "Shut the fuck up!!"


    Gu mohan roared and angrily stepped in front of yi chen. Before yi chen could speak again, he had already grabbed his collar and lifted him up from his seat!


    Yi chen was not as tall as gu mohan, but now he grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. He was almost hanging in the air, his feet were close to the ground, his legs were forced to rest on the seat, and his legs and neck were aching. His heart trembled subconsciously.


    Before he could get used to the situation in front of him, gu mohan''s deep but angry voice was heard.


    "Yi, let me tell you, I don''t need anyone to interrupt my concern with Mohan, especially you. What ye zhiqiao said just now is very clear. She didn''t give you any face. Do you still think you have the right to warn me?!"


    Gu mohan''s voice was not loud, but his chest trembled violently as he spoke. The veins on his forehead and the back of his hand holding on to his dusty collar were all bulging. It was as if if if if he wanted to kill this brat who was overestimating his strength now!


    Yi chen was a little flustered. He opened his mouth several times without making a sound.


    Seeing this, gu mohan sneered and stretched his taut body. His right hand suddenly loosened.


    Yi chen suddenly let go, his feet were unstable, and he fell directly onto the chair. His body was crooked, his hair was messy, and he looked a little embarrassed.


    "Yichen, even your brother wouldn''t dare to make things difficult for me. You''d better put away that young master''s face and be honest with me. Otherwise..."


    Gu mohan''s voice was very cold. Before he could finish his last sentence, he cast a scornful glance at the man who was still slumped in his chair and said in a deep voice, "Get out of my company now and roll away with your tail between your legs in the future."


    Yi chen felt that he would lose face if he left like this, but just now he also saw the power gap between himself and gu mohan, so it was definitely not a wise choice to hit it hard.


    Forget it, there is no fear of firewood in the mountains!


    Yi chen thought to himself.


    He stood up and straightened his hair and clothes. When he saw gu Mohan squinting at him, he stopped and turned around to walk out.


    Halfway through, the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. He had never been humiliated like this since he was a child. Why should he be humiliated in front of gu mohan?!


    With that thought in mind, he turned around and shouted at gu mohan, "It''s strange that ye zhiqiao likes you, you cold-faced and ruthless person! You deserve not to be liked by her, and you will never be truly liked by a woman!"


    After that, he straightened his collar and walked out as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.


    On the other side


    Ye yiyu sat on the hard bed in the detention cell, looked out the window at the high wall, and tightened her grip on the quilt.


    "Aye, ye yiyu, you have all the wrinkles that you caught, and then you will be criticized if you can''t fold them properly." Reminded the woman in the bed.


    At this moment, the woman on the top bunk of ye yiyu leaned down and pouted at her, saying, "What do you know? They''re going to be released this afternoon, so they don''t have to fold this unlucky cube anymore!"


    "Ah?" Surprised by the woman in the shop, she asked ye yi, "Really? Are you going out?" There was an unmistakable envy in her voice.


    Ye yiyu usually doesn''t like to talk to these people. Although she is also locked here, it doesn''t mean that she is like these dirty and ignorant women at the bottom of society!


    She snorted and lay on the bed.


    The others had long seen her look of disdain and did not like to talk to her. They scolded her and lay down to take a nap.


    Three months, it''s been three months!!


    Ye yiyu gritted his teeth tightly, and the expression on his face was ferocious and terrifying.


    She had been in this lousy place for three months, living with these village aunts who smelled bad after taking a bath every day, and who spoke and behaved at a low speed for three months!


    Every day, he would be picked up to run at dawn, and he would have to complete a certain amount of work. Instead, he would eat rice that could break his front teeth. It was all a delicious dish. He would have to lie in bed at nine o'' clock at night and pretend to be dead even if he couldn''t sleep. He would even have to endure the snoring of others!


    These disgusting days are all because of ye zhiqiao!


    Every night when she couldn''t sleep, she lay on the narrow and hard bed with her eyes open, thinking about the same thing, that is, how to return all her suffering to ye zhiqiao!

 Chapter 137 Ye Yiyus Revenge

    "Huh-"


    Raising her hand to block the sunlight above her head, the shadow under her palm covered ye yiyu''s much thinner brows and eyes. She sneered and thought, the sun outside the detention center is different from inside. It''s much warmer and dazzling!


    She took her bag and walked home from one side of the street. Today, ye guojun and zhuang jiamin had important things to do and did not come to pick her up. As for bai zixuan, the heartless man would not come. She could only go home alone.


    I don''t know if it''s really something, or if it''s too embarrassing to pick up my daughter at the police station.


    Ye yiyu raised the corner of his mouth and thought coldly.


    "Don''t you think that''s gu''s press conference? So soon?"


    "Yes, yes, yes. I heard that the'' wake up'' had a very special show today. A friend of mine went to the scene and said that the audience was very enthusiastic at that time!"


    Ye yiyu heard the two girls talking and followed their voices to the huge screen on the opposite building.


    The camera was right in front of ye zhiqiao''s figure. She was wearing a green dress and was walking slowly towards the stage. She was too far away to hear the sound, but the applause must have been warm, right?


    Ye yiyu narrowed her eyes and tightened her fingers holding the straps until her nails almost sank into her flesh.


    "Ye zhiqiao, it''s you again. It''s really not a reunion of enemies. I just came out and you came to me. Did you not kill you last time? Are you unhappy in your heart?"


    The two girls next to them were still marveling at the screen, not noticing the hateful words in ye yi''s words.


    Ye yiyu exhaled slowly, then put on a smiling face and asked the two girls, "Is this ye zhiqiao''s new product launch?"


    The girl saw that ye yiyu knew that "Mengxing" was ye zhiqiao, obviously an expert, and ye yiyu''s appearance was not bad, so people were willing to get close to him, so she replied enthusiastically, "Yes, it was just done today, I didn''t expect it to be broadcast so soon."


    "Do you know when the show ended?"


    The girl was a little strange, but she replied, "Just over an hour ago."


    In the end, he reminded her, "It must be too late now. If you want to see the scene, you can only wait for the next time."


    Next time?


    Ye yiyu sneered in her heart, "There''s no next time. Ye zhiqiao, I want you to never have the chance to hold a press conference like today!"


    Knowing ye zhiqiao''s news, she was in no mood to go home now. She found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, then looked at the contacts on her phone.


    Ye zhiqiao thought that by taking her to court, she would be able to suppress her. Is this over? Dream!


    Long before ye yiyu entered the detention center, he had found a gangster who had been tailing and revenge for others. For the past three months, the gangster had been secretly following ye zhiqiao according to her orders. Now, as long as she made a phone call, she could know where ye zhiqiao was!


    Sure enough, the call was picked up in less than a minute.


    "Miss ye, are you out?"


    The last thing ye yiyu wanted to be mentioned was this. When she heard the scoundrel''s bland words, her anger rose and she snapped, "What are you? Dare you ask me about it?!"


    The hooligan choked and knew that he had made a mistake. After all, he had been working for three months and was still in the hands of others. He didn''t dare to make the boss angry, so he smiled and said, "I owe you, I owe you -"


    Then he smacked himself in the mouth.


    Then he continued, "I don''t have a door open, but I do things well. The little girl you told me to look at hasn''t been out of my sight for a moment, and now I''m still following you."


    After talking for a long time, ye yiyu finally turned to the main topic. Only then did ye yiyu "En" sound and ask, "Where is she now?"


    The punk glanced at the sign next to him and said to his cell phone, "On southwest road, she goes back to a man''s house every day. That''s the way."


    Back to a man''s house? That man must be gu mohan.


    Ye yiyu sneered and thought for a while before saying, "Well, you keep following her and let me know if anything goes wrong."


    The hooligan agreed, and ye yi on the other end of the phone asked, "Do you know where to rent a car and hide it?"


    "You want to rent a car? This is easy." He was familiar with all these things and said as if he was asking for credit, "I can handle such a small matter for you. Just wait here. I''ll have someone rent a car and send it to you."


    Ye yiyu knew what he meant as soon as he heard the tone of his question. He rolled his eyes and said contemptuously, "I will pay for the rental of the car together with the expenses for these three months. Hurry up."


    "All right!"


    Hearing her words, the gangster quickly hung up the phone and found a place to pick up the car.


    The car came very quickly. A tall man threw the car keys to ye yiyu and left without saying a word.


    Ye yiyu stood nearby and looked at the black volkswagen. Although its appearance was a little old, its performance was not bad.


    She opened the door and got into the car, then sped straight to southwest road.


    She was not far from the southwest road, and there was only one street in the middle. On the way, she asked ye zhiqiao''s location again. The little punk said that he was still on the road and told her the license plate number.


    It was a green light at the intersection. Ye yiyu turned right and went to southwest road. She took a short cut. If she was lucky, she would see ye zhiqiao''s car soon.


    There was a business street ahead. Ye yiyu had just driven over when he saw the white audi that the punks were talking about. It even had the same license plate number.


    However, the car was parked on the side of the road, but ye zhiqiao did not know where to go.


    Ye yiyu also stopped less than ten meters away from the white audi and looked out the window, searching for ye zhiqiao''s figure.


    Ye yiyu took a closer look. At this time, ye zhiqiao was wearing a green dress, just like what she saw on the big screen.


    Ye zhi happened to walk straight to a fabric store, and after pushing the door, her figure disappeared into the store.


    Ye yiyu leaned back in her chair and looked through the rearview mirror at the door of the shop, waiting for ye zhiqiao to come out.


    She thought in her heart: soon, soon, soon I can make her pay the price, these three months of miserable experience, can finally be poured out.

 Chapter 138 No One Rushed over to Protect Her Anymore

    Ye yiyu was in a trance when she saw a flash of green in the rearview mirror. She quickly sat up straight and looked out.


    I didn''t expect that in just a short time, ye zhiqiao had already approached and could enter the white audi in ten steps. Ye yiyu was too late to start the car now.


    She punched the steering wheel in frustration and continued to stare at ye zhiqiao''s movements.


    Ye zhiqiao let go from the back of the car, did not approach the driver''s seat, but walked towards the co-pilot, and then quickly closed her skirt and opened the door to get in the car.


    Just as ye yiyu was surprised, the white audi in front of him had slowly left its original position. She quickly started the car and followed it, glad she didn''t hit it directly.


    So there was someone else in that car, and the punk was really a unreliable thing. Didn''t you know to say such an important thing in advance?! If she had had the chance to bump into her, she would have been found out by now, caught and sent to jail!


    Ye yiyu took a deep breath this time and forced herself to keep following the car in front of her.


    The white audi finally stopped at a sparsely populated intersection after a long walk.


    Ye zhiqiao opened the door with a smile and got out of the car. She picked up the fabric she had just bought, waved at the people in the car, and then turned around to walk on the road behind her.


    The white audi didn''t stay for long. Ye zhiqiao turned around and drove back to the original road. Ye yiyu waited for the car to drive far away until she couldn''t see the outline.


    Ye zhiqiao unconsciously shook the shopping bag in her hand as she walked, thinking about what happened at the press conference. Actually, she wanted to, but she didn''t know what to think.


    Yi chen suddenly proposed and gu mohan suddenly offered to let her be his girlfriend. These two things happened to bump into each other. She had not completely recovered from her astonishment, and her face was still flushed.


    Blushing was not because of excitement, not because of nervousness, but because of embarrassment!


    She had never experienced such an awkward situation before. There were so many people watching at that time, and she almost subconsciously said no, then ran away quickly. This feeling was really bad.


    Ye zhiqiao was wandering here. Ye yiyu had been watching her for a long time while driving. Her eyes were hidden behind the car window. Looking at ye zhiqiao''s eyes was like a hungry wolf looking at a dying prey!


    Ye yiyu pressed her foot on the accelerator and looked at the figure walking ahead with a grim smile.


    "Ye zhiqiao, what you owe me should be returned now."


    As his thin lips slowly spat out this sentence, ye yiyu''s right foot slammed hard and slammed the accelerator to the ground!!


    Ye zhiqiao was walking slowly by the roadside when she heard a strange noise coming from behind her, as if something was coming fast.


    She subconsciously turned around to look, and her face, which had been a little dazed, paled in shock in an instant!


    Not far behind her, a black car was speeding in the direction where she was sitting -


    The speed of the car could no longer be described as fast, it was simply speeding!


    In a few seconds, ye zhiqiao''s face turned pale, and a voice in her head shouted, "Run! Run!!!"


    However, his body was completely disobedient, and his legs seemed to be filled with cement, embedded with the concrete road under his feet, and could not move at all!


    Everything seemed to slow down all of a sudden. She stood there stiffly, her clear eyes reflecting the opposite scene. The black car was like a slow-motion replay in a movie, slowly approaching her, approaching -


    Bang!!!"


    The soft body was like a face bag in front of the speeding car, because the inertia slanted in the direction of the car, then was pushed into the air by a greater force, and then pulled back to the ground by gravity.


    Bang!!!"


    Another sound, the sound of her body touching the ground again.


    Ye zhiqiao''s throat was blocked and she could not make a sound, but the heart in her chest was beating violently. The next second, maybe the next second, it would rush out of her chest and bring out thick red blood, just like... Gu mohan in the distance.


    What happened just now?


    At the last moment, she closed her eyes, as if saying goodbye to the world, but suddenly a strong force came from her side. She did not have time to do anything, but felt as if she had suddenly lost weight and fell to the side with that force.


    That power was given to her by gu mohan. He pushed her aside and used his body to block the car that should have hit her.


    Ye zhi coincidentally sat on the ground and stared blankly at gu mohan in the distance. After some time, she finally reacted. The moment her tears came out, she was ready to get up and walk in the direction of gu Mohan.


    "Ah!"


    Just as he moved, there was a sharp pain in his ankle! That kind of pain was not like the pain when I sprained my ankle, but rather like my whole ankle was crushed!


    Gu mohan was still lying there!


    Ye zhiqiao roared in her heart, then tried to stand up regardless of the pain in her feet, but in the end, she found that she could not do it at all.


    Even if it was quiet and motionless, there was a sharp pain coming from the ankle, and the pain intensified after ye zhiqiao''s series of movements. She wanted to reach out and hold it down, but when she touched the flesh, it hurt so much that her body began to tremble slightly.


    Ye yiyu was also shocked just now, and his head rushed to the steering wheel. Fortunately, his arm was propped up so that he did not get hurt.


    She looked out the window and saw gu mohan lying in the distance, while ye zhiqiao was sitting on the ground beside her. Just when she was about to bump into ye zhiqiao, gu mohan suddenly rushed out of nowhere and pushed ye zhiqiao away! It was so reckless!


    Ye yiyu kicked in front of her, then sat upright, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and hit ye zhiqiao again.


    Ye zhiqiao noticed the movement of the black car, but she didn''t even have the ability to move. She just watched the black car getting closer and closer to her. The scene was exactly the same as before, but this time, no one would rush to protect her.


    "Hey! What are you doing?!"


    "Stop, stop! Stop!"


    "Hey! Stop the car!"


    With a few loud shouts, a group of men in security uniforms rushed over, blocking the middle of ye yiyu''s car when it was still some distance away from ye zhiqiao.


    Ye yiyu slammed on the brakes. Although she hated ye zhiqiao, she couldn''t have killed so many people at once.

 Chapter 139 Rescued

    When the security guards saw the car stop, they rushed to the door and looked in through the light.


    Seeing a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth sitting inside, they were all confused. How could such a woman do such a thing? It was obvious that the car was deliberately aimed at the woman on the ground. The woman in the car must have wanted to kill someone!


    No matter what, we still have to find out first.


    Ye yiyu saw that a few people wanted to open the car door, so she quickly reached out and pressed the lock.


    When she pressed it, she couldn''t help but scold again, "Damn it!" The lock on this car is broken!


    Seeing that a few people were about to reach for the door handle, ye yiyu quickly grabbed the handrail from the inside, trying to stop them from opening the door.


    But how could her strength be stronger than a few strong men who had been professionally trained? After only a few seconds of standstill, the car door had already "Clicked" and a crack had been opened.


    Ye yiyu knew that she could not do this anymore. If she went on like this, she would have to be pulled out of the car by them.


    As she tugged at the car door, she put it on the gas pedal. Just in time, several security guards gathered at the side of the car in order to pull her out. She didn''t care whether it was dangerous or not, so she stepped on it with great force with her right foot!


    In an instant, the car jumped out like an arrow from a string. The nearest security guard staggered forward a few steps due to inertia, and ye yiyu was violently taken off. After a long time in his seat, he finally grabbed the steering wheel and stabilized the car.


    Ye yiyu''s car drove away, and several security guards quickly turned to look at ye zhiqiao who was sitting on the ground.


    Ye zhiqiao was already sweating from the pain. She expected that the security guards were only coming towards the car here and did not see gu mohan in the distance. She reached out with difficulty and pointed in the direction of gu mohan, indicating that there was someone else there.


    After that, she looked down with all her strength, only to find that her cell phone had fallen out of the bag at some point. She grabbed it in her hand and fell to the ground as soon as she pressed "119."


    A few security guards saw this situation and rushed forward to see ye zhiqiao''s injuries. Then they dialed the emergency call and went to see Mohan from a distance. Seeing that he was also unconscious, they divided the people into two groups and surrounded them separately to prevent the next car from passing by the people who couldn''t see them lying here.


    Fortunately, this part of the road was sparsely populated, and the ambulance drove over smoothly without much delay. With the help of the security guards, the doctors and nurses carried the unconscious gu mohan and ye zhiqiao to the car, then drove quickly to the hospital.


    "Well..."


    It hurts. This was the only feeling ye zhiqiao had when she woke up.


    The headlights above her head were so bright that they hurt people''s eyes. Ye zhiqiao closed her eyes and raised her hand to block them, only to find that her arm hurt even more.


    She tried to twist her body, and sure enough, there was a strong dull pain everywhere, as if it had been rolled over by a huge rock.


    But now she didn''t have time to be sentimental and hurt. She was very conscious. Although she didn''t know how long she had been unconscious, her previous impression was still very clear. All she could think about was gu mohan.


    How is gu mohan? He was really hit by that car, so far away, would... Would his life be in danger?


    Ye zhiqiao did not dare to think further. She sprang up from the bed.


    There was another sharp pain in her foot, and she forgot about what seemed to be an injury on her foot. Now that she remembered it, she quickly lifted the quilt and looked - her ankle was wrapped in thick gauze, so she couldn''t see what was going on inside.


    She sighed irritably and was about to get out of bed and put on her shoes.


    At this time, a little nurse came in with a medicine cart. Seeing that she was about to get up, she was startled and quickly ran over to stop her, "You can''t get out of bed now. Your foot injury is a little serious. You have to observe it again. You have to stay in bed for the next few days!"


    After such a long time, ye zhiqiao finally saw someone. No matter what she said, she pulled her arm and asked, "Where''s gu mohan? Where is he? Are you seriously injured? Have you woken up?"


    The nurse looked at her doubtfully. After a long time, she asked, "Who are you talking about?"


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered that she and gu mohan had been saved by a group of security guards. They must not have known anyone when they were sent to the hospital, so the doctors and nurses here did not know that they were with gu mohan.


    She quickly explained, "It''s the man I sent over with. His name is gu mohan. How is he now?"


    This time, the nurse suddenly realized, "Oh, you guys know each other. He should still be in the hospital. He''s more seriously injured than you are, but I don''t know the details. I''ll take charge..."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t hear what the nurse said after that. Her mind was filled with the sentence "More serious than your injury."


    This was the one thing she was most afraid of hearing.


    Ye zhiqiao returned to her senses and continued her previous action, bending over to put on her shoes on the injured foot.


    Startled, the nurse pulled her away and pressed her onto the bed. "Are you crazy?" You don''t want your feet anymore?"


    After a pause, she thought that the patient in front of her might be looking for the man named gu Mohan, so she comforted him and said, "Don''t be anxious and don''t move. I''ll call the doctor now. The doctor in the emergency room knows about his condition. Can you wait for me here?"


    Ye zhiqiao tried a few times and knew that she couldn''t walk at all, so she nodded and begged her to move faster.


    The nurse said yes, then ran out of the ward quickly. Within five minutes, she followed a doctor and walked back quickly.


    "Are you with that man?" The doctor asked.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded quickly, "Where is he? How''s it going?"


    The doctor raised his hand to signal her to calm down, and then said slowly, "He''s in the icu now. He might need surgery later..."


    Before he finished speaking, ye zhiqiao anxiously asked, "Doctor, you should do the operation quickly. Don''t delay the treatment. Don''t worry, I can pay the operation fee right away!"


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was so anxious that she was about to cry, the doctor said helplessly, "Don''t worry about this patient. We are not afraid that we won''t operate on him because we can''t collect the medical expenses, but his current situation is not clear. We must observe him before we can prepare for the operation."


    "Ah?" Although ye zhiqiao did not understand why she had to observe first and then operate, she understood what the doctor meant and calmed down immediately. She asked, "How is his condition?"


    The doctor pondered for a while and said, "What I can tell you now is that there are several fractures in his ribs, but because he is unconscious, we can''t easily determine if his internal organs and brain are injured. If we rush into surgery, there may be accidents, so we choose to observe temporarily."

 Chapter 140 Change the Person Lying There to Yi Chen

    "Then... Is his life in danger now?"


    The doctor frowned awkwardly and said in a deep voice, "There is no such danger for the time being, but it is hard to say for a long time. The safest way is to operate as soon as possible."


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart was in a mess. All kinds of emotions mixed together and almost made her break down. She nodded at the doctor. No matter how much she asked, she would not get a clear answer.


    "Which ward is he in now? Can I go and see him?" She was worried. She had asked this question just now, but she asked it again.


    The doctor looked at the injury on her foot and repeated patiently, "He''s in the icu and can''t visit for the time being. Besides, your foot injury is not suitable for walking. Let''s wait."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were filled with tears, and she pulled the corner of the doctor''s clothes and pleaded, "Can I take a look out of the window in the icu? Let me take a look at him, doctor!"


    The doctor saw that she was resolute and had no choice but to let the nurse push a wheelchair. Ye zhiqiao sat on it and was pushed to the door of the icu by the nurse.


    A thick layer of glass, clear but cold, stood between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao put her hand on the glass and rubbed gu mohan''s cheek from a long distance. The person lying inside did not react at all and still fell asleep, not even turning his eyes.


    "I''m sorry..."


    After that, ye zhiqiao almost burst into tears.


    She didn''t know why she wanted to apologize, but she felt guilty. Her heart felt like it had made a hole, and the cold wind blew in, as if it was trying to squeeze something out of it. Ye zhiqiao had experienced this feeling before. When her mother left, she felt it for the first time. It was called loss.


    This was the second time. Gu mohan had saved her for the second time. The first time was on a cold night when they had a big fight. Both of them were very angry and refused to let anyone go. She ran out of gu mohan''s house and rushed out of a car halfway. The lights in the dark were so glaring that she forgot to hide. Gu mohan rushed over to protect her.


    This time it was daytime, and she was still gripped by fear, closing her eyes and waiting to die. It was gu mohan who rushed out and pushed her away.


    When she was too scared to move, how could gu mohan have the courage to risk his life to save her?


    In a few hours, she had just rejected his confession in front of so many people. How could someone who loved his face rush out without holding a grudge?


    Ye zhiqiao''s hands were trembling and her heart was trembling. She did not dare to think. What would she do if gu mohan was really in trouble?


    How she wished that the person lying inside was herself instead of gu mohan, who was so healthy and strong. The scenes that she had been with before always jumped into her mind involuntarily, and then gradually coincided with the figure in the glass window.


    Ye zhiqiao was sent back to the ward by the nurse and fell asleep with worry. When she woke up, her head was so heavy that she couldn''t even sit up.


    At this time, the door was opened, and jian mengqi appeared at the door with big bags and small bags.


    Her eyes were a little blurry when she woke up. Ye zhiqiao squinted and looked at it carefully for a long time. When she saw that it was indeed jian mengqi, she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"


    Jian mengqi threw the things in her hands on the sofa, panted and sat down beside ye zhiqiao''s bed. She looked at her face again and again, and felt that although her face was very bad, it did not look unusual. Then she relaxed and replied, "I went to buy some daily necessities for you. It looks like we still have to stay in the hospital for a while. These things have to be prepared in advance."


    Ye zhiqiao looked puzzled, "How do you know..."


    Knowing what she was going to ask, jian mengqi waved her hand and interrupted her. She said directly, "I received a call from the hospital the first time you were sent. It should be the closest contact on your phone. I''m the first one."


    Then she gave ye zhiqiao a blank look and said, "If I hadn''t rushed over here in such a hurry, handled the hospitalization procedures and paid the medical expenses, do you think you could live here comfortably?"


    In fact, she just wanted to play a joke with ye zhiqiao to ease her mood, but after saying that, she felt that the "Comfort" she had just used was really not good. Just when she wanted to change her mouth, she saw that ye zhiqiao seemed to suddenly think of something, and the whole person was excited.


    "Gu mohan... Gu mohan..."


    Ye zhiqiao recited the name, then got up and got out of bed.


    The nurse had already told jian mengqi about this situation, so jian mengqi would first look at ye zhiqiao''s mood after coming in. She thought she was fine, but who knew that she had just woken up and didn''t react. Now when she heard about gu mohan, she immediately returned to a state of extreme anxiety.


    Ye zhiqiao was still dizzy, and it took a lot of effort to sit up. Seeing that she was about to lift the quilt, jian mengqi quickly stopped her.


    "I went to see him just now. It was the same as before. There was no movement. It''s useless for you to go."


    "It''s no use. I have to go too. I can stay with him. He''s so lonely lying there by himself. I feel sorry for him..."


    Ye zhiqiao started to cry as she spoke, "It''s all my fault, it''s all my fault. I''m always annoying... Annoying, making so many people hate me... But every time... It''s always gu mohan who gets hurt... He always comes out to protect me, and I... Then treat him... I''m such a jerk..."


    Ye zhiqiao had no strength to cry and shout, so she simply sat down on the bed with her shoulders down, buried her head in jian mengqi''s shoulder socket, and sobbed incessantly.


    Jian mengqi sighed, reached out her hand and gently ran it down her back. She said softly, "I know you blame yourself and you love him, but this is not the time for you to break down. Think about it. If you break down, who will take care of him and little treasure?"


    "I''m sorry for him..." Ye zhiqiao repeated.


    "Yes, you feel sorry for him." Jian mengqi agreed with her and then asked, "Are you touched? Do you feel sorry for him?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "Of course... I... I wish I could lie there. Why did he rush over?! This... Idiot!"


    Jian mengqi looked helplessly at ye zhiqiao, who was crying in the dark, and asked softly, "You are touched, heartbroken, self-blame, and wish you could hurt him... Have you ever thought about why you feel this way?"


    Hearing jian mengqi''s question, ye zhiqiao did not react for a moment. She was stunned for a moment. She even cried a lot less and asked sobbing, "What do you mean? I... Don''t understand."


    Jian mengqi turned her eyes to think about it and asked, "If, I mean, if you replace the person lying there with yi chen, would you... Have the same feeling?"

 Chapter 141 I Like Gu Mohan

    Dust prone?


    Ye zhiqiao wondered why she asked this question and asked, "What does it have to do with yi chen?"


    "Don''t worry about that. Answer my question first."


    "En..." Ye zhiqiao wiped her tears and sat upright, recalling it seriously. If it was yi chen who rushed up at that time... She would definitely be very surprised. If yi chen was unconscious because he saved her, then she would blame herself, be moved, and wish that she was hurt! Yi chen is the second young master of the Yi''s. If there is any good or bad, she can''t even pay for it with her life.


    She told these thoughts to jian mengqi honestly, but she still didn''t understand why she asked.


    "Surprised... When gu mohan rushed over, were you surprised?" Jian mengqi continued to ask.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned, which stopped her and reminded her of one thing: "It really didn''t seem like it. At that time, the moment I was pushed away, I subconsciously felt that it was gu mohan! So even when I saw that the person on the other side was gu mohan, I was worried and not surprised." She pulled on jian mengqi''s arm and said as if she had just woken up.


    "Now that I think about it, it''s a little strange."


    "Nothing strange." Jian mengqi patted her hand and explained the reason to her, "In your subconscious mind, you already have complete trust in gu mohan. His image is like a protector, and he can rush out to protect you when you are in trouble, right?"


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lip, "It seems... Right..."


    "Also, if it was yi chen, you would blame yourself and be terrified, but you would still be heartbroken at gu mohan''s place, right? Have you ever thought about why?"


    Jian mengqi lowered her head slightly, raised her eyes and stared at her unblinkingly, hoping that she could find the answer in her heart.


    After a long time, the room was quiet as if the air had been frozen. Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were lowered and there was no focus in her eyes. She should have understood what jian mengqi said.


    "You mean, I... I like gu mohan... I... Like him?"


    Jian mengqi couldn''t hold back her laughter. She reached out and rubbed her head. She sighed with relief and said, "You''re finally enlightened, but this is not what I said. It''s you."


    Ye zhi happened to blush in the next second. She didn''t feel anything when she didn''t think about it, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that something really had changed. Her feelings for gu mohan were changing without her knowing it.


    She liked gu mohan, but she rejected him in front of everyone and hurt him. It was really unforgivable!


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao put on her shoes and ran out again. Jian mengqi was confused by her sudden action, so she stopped her and asked, "What are you doing? I just found out that I like gu mohan, so I''m in a hurry to confess? It''s no use. He''s still unconscious."


    Ye zhiqiao brushed her hand away and explained, "I know. I just want to see him and ask the doctor about his condition."


    "Didn''t I tell you everything about him? Now he''s not conscious at all. It''s useless for you to go. You should rest here first. The doctor said you''d better not run around... Eh!"


    Before jian mengqi could finish speaking, ye zhiqiao limped out of the door with her hand on the wall, unable to pull it.


    Ye zhiqiao came to the floor where the icu was located. Because of the special environment, there were not many people in the corridor on this floor, which looked very lonely.


    As she walked towards gu Mohan''s ward from memory, two girls suddenly appeared at the other end of the corridor, one of whom she knew.


    The three of them were getting closer and closer. Ye zhiqiao was wondering if she should say hello first, but the girl next to su yanbai had already spoken first.


    "Ye zhiqiao? You again?!" The girl stepped over and stood in front of ye zhiqiao with her chin raised. She snorted and said, "Is it you who caused gu mohan to be like this?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was a little surprised. How did this unknown girl come up here to seek justice for gu mohan? Was she a relative of gu mohan?


    In doubt, su yanbai also walked over and introduced her in a neutral manner, "My best friend, she was furious to know about brother gu, so..."


    Before su yanbai could finish her sentence, her best friend continued, "Yan yan, you don''t have to introduce me to her. Why do you give her such face? If it weren''t for her, gu mohan wouldn''t have had an accident and you wouldn''t have been so sad!"


    It turned out that they had also come to visit gu mohan. They had not expected that the news of yesterday''s incident would reach them so soon. However, as gu Mohan, something happened to him. It must have gone crazy.


    Ye zhiqiao took a few steps back. Su yanbai''s best friend was right. Gu mohan was hurt because of her. She had nothing to explain. "Are you here to see gu mohan, too? He''s in the ward at the end of the corridor behind you, but he can''t go in yet. He can only be outside..."


    "Are you going to see brother gu too?" Su yanbai raised her eyebrows and asked.


    Because ye zhiqiao had saved her from the car accident last time, she had changed her opinion of ye zhiqiao and did not intend to go against her like before. However, ever since she learned this morning that brother gu had been seriously injured in order to save her, the fire in her heart could not be suppressed.


    She didn''t understand why brother gu was so good to ye zhiqiao. The last time he raced, he had to take ye zhiqiao''s car, but ye zhiqiao didn''t appreciate him at all. Otherwise, why would he embarrass him in front of so many people at the press conference?


    Su yan bai''s face was getting uglier and uglier. Ye zhiqiao didn''t know why, so she asked, "Yes, I''m going to see him too. What''s wrong?"


    "How dare you show up in front of brother gu again?!" Su yanbai took a step forward and got closer to ye zhiqiao. She glared at her fiercely and said coldly, "Don''t you know why he is lying there now? Because of you, he was hurt time and time again, do you think he would still want to see you?! Do you have any self-awareness? Can''t you stay away from him?!"


    Before she could finish her sentence, ye zhiqiao received a heavy slap on her face, which made her head "Buzz." The cheek in her mouth hit her teeth and sent a sharp pain.


    "I..."


    Ye zhi caressed her side face, her expression very dull. It should be angry to be beaten, but ye zhiqiao didn''t feel this way at this time. Even... She thought that she was not wronged by this slap. Compared to her pain, gu mohan had suffered a thousand times.


    She should have realized this a long time ago. To gu mohan, she was really a huge problem. Besides making him suffer, she seemed to be useless, every time.

 Chapter 142 She Was Jealous

    She opened her mouth, unable to say anything, but tears flowed down her face. After understanding her feelings for gu Mohan, she could not forgive herself for what she had done, nor could she let go of it.


    Su yanbai was still standing there glaring at her, but her legs suddenly lost all of their strength. She leaned back against the wall and slowly slid down to sit down, her head drooping and sobbing. Because gu mohan saved her, it was like a scar in her heart. She deliberately ignored and avoided it, but when su yanbai opened it, blood flowed in an instant.


    Looking at ye zhiqiao, who was sitting on the ground without any image to speak of, su yanbai spat out two words coldly, "You deserve it." Then she turned around and walked back to the icu at the end of the corridor.


    Gu mohan should still be inside, because his name was written on the door card, but the curtains in the room were blocked from the inside today. They could not see what was going on inside, so they had to go downstairs to find the nurse.


    However, the nurse did not agree to let them in. Su yanbai explained, "Can''t I go in alone?"


    The nurse waved her hand, "No one can go in. The patient needs a quiet environment."


    "But in the daytime, you only need to change into sterile clothes and have your entire body disinfected to get in. Don''t you think I don''t know?!" Su yanbai was a little angry, and her tone became impolite.


    The nurse had just finished her night shift and was tired and hungry. Now she was choked by this woman. Her attitude was not as good as before. She said, "If you can''t go in, you can''t go in. It''s no use saying anything." Then he turned around and continued to do his own thing, ignoring the two of them.


    Unwilling to give up, su yanbai walked over and asked, "You can''t visit. Did the doctor say it or did gu mohan say it himself?"


    "... Of course it''s a doctor. The patient is still unconscious. How can he talk?


    The nurse didn''t answer su yanbai because she was angry, but she misunderstood su yanbai. She thought it was gu mohan who told her not to go in to see him, because ye zhiqiao was going to see gu Mohan upstairs. Why couldn''t ye zhiqiao go if she could?


    On the other side, jian mengqi was coming up from downstairs. As soon as she passed the corner, she saw ye zhiqiao kneeling on the ground against the wall, her long hair falling down, crying like a tearful person.


    She hurriedly ran to ye zhiqiao''s side, grabbed her by the shoulder and half-picked her up. She helped her to sit on the chair beside her and asked her, "What''s wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the floor? Are you... Feeling unwell, or is there something wrong with gu mohan? Hey, stop crying. Can you talk to me? I''m so anxious!"


    Jian mengqi was an impetuous person, and she was worried about ye zhiqiao.


    "It''s all my fault... Gu mohan... It''s all my fault..." Ye zhiqiao tried her best to hold back her tears, but her voice was still trembling. She said intermittently, "I always cause trouble on my own... In the end... In the end... I have to let gu mohan... Let him help... I..."


    I was fine just now. Why did I suddenly think of this?


    Jian mengqi held her head and asked in a low voice, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden? You... Did someone say something to you?"


    "No." Ye zhiqiao shook her head.


    "Impossible!" When ye zhiqiao shook her head, the hair on both sides of her cheek moved away a little. At first glance, jian mengqi could see that her left face was not right, a little red and a little swollen. If she looked closely, it was clearly a slap print!


    "What happened, Zhiqiao? Who hit you?! Huh?"


    Ye zhiqiao still did not speak and took a few breaths intermittently in an attempt to muddle through.


    Looking at her, jian mengqi knew that she must have been wronged and swallowed again. She was so angry that she gave her arm a nudge and said, "When is it? You can''t hit anyone without telling me! You have to tell me this time!"


    "There really is no one. Don''t ask mengqi."


    "..." Jian mengqi put down the hand that had been resting on her shoulder and said expressionlessly," I treat you as my best friend. You have a gentle personality, and I just want to protect you and stand up for you. Am I being sentimental?


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her in shock. She just didn''t want her to have a conflict with someone like su yanbai. Did she misunderstand her?


    Ye zhiqiao hurriedly explained, "If it''s not mengqi, don''t think so. I... I don''t say it, I''m just afraid that you will have a conflict with others in a moment of excitement. I''m worried about you, afraid that you will suffer."


    Knowing that she would always be so forward and backward, jian mengqi rolled her eyes, raised three fingers and said, "I promise, after I know, I will never run over and fight with that person, okay?"


    Ye zhi qiao was very sad, but she was almost amused by her sworn look. She quickly took her hand off and said, "Okay, I tell you, it''s... Su yanbai."


    "Su yanbai?!" Jian mengqi almost jumped out of her chair.


    Su yanbai was also a famous person in the circle. Jian mengqi had heard of her before, but why did she slap ye zhi in such a little girl''s movie?!


    Ye zhi coincidentally told jian mengqi about what had happened since she met su yanbai, emphasizing her fondness for gu mohan, which was why she lost control.


    Jian mengqi nodded after listening, "Oh, so she thought you had harmed gu mohan, so she came to find fault?"


    "It''s not just looking for trouble, it''s just a coincidence."


    "By chance? Did you happen to say a lot of nasty things?"


    Ye zhiqiao hung her head and did not answer, which was her acquiescence.


    Jian mengqi was so angry that she was almost fuming, "So you just sat on the ground and cried? Are you stupid? I think you sprained your foot and your brain!"


    "... Ye zhiqiao was at a loss when she scolded her and looked at her with wet eyes.


    "You believe everything she says? She said it was your fault and it was your fault? Cut! To put it bluntly, gu mohan was willing to lie here. He was willing to protect you. If it were su yanbai, would he still do that?"


    "But..."


    "But what?! Can''t you tell that su yanbai was completely jealous? Besides, is it time for you to think about this? Even if you want to plead guilty or commit suicide, you have to wait until gu mohan wakes up. If he wakes up and finds out that you have dragged his body down because of self-blame, how sad would he be at that time?"


    Ye zhiqiao wrinkled her nose and lowered her head, unable to answer. Although jian mengqi''s words were a little extreme, she had to admit that she was right. Now was not the time to blame herself and feel guilty. It was the key to make gu mohan better quickly.

 Chapter 143 This Is My Hospital

    Just as jian mengqi was going to continue to comfort ye zhiqiao, yi chen, who did not know where to hear the news, suddenly ran over. It seemed that she was quite anxious, and her hair became a little messy after rubbing it.


    He locked onto the target at the stairwell, ran straight to ye zhiqiao and squatted down. He grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Zhiqiao, what''s wrong with you? I heard you had a car accident, right? What happened? Are you hurt?"


    A series of questions made ye zhi''s clever head grow bigger. She pulled him to sit on the other side, then pulled out her hand without any trace, and replied faintly, "I''m fine. Don''t worry. Thank you for coming to see me."


    Hearing what she said, yi chen frowned and said with some frustration, "Can you not be so polite to me? Even if it is... Even to friends, you don''t have to be so polite."


    "... I didn''t mean that."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know how to explain this mess, so she smiled and said again, "I''m really fine. I didn''t mean to hide it from you. The injured person is gu mohan. He saved me."


    Yi chen had heard about gu mohan''s injury before he came. Knowing that ye zhiqiao didn''t lie to him, he finally felt relieved.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to reassure yi chen, but jian mengqi couldn''t stand her friend being wronged like this. She snorted and said, "You weren''t hurt. You just twisted your foot and almost hurt your bones. And the slap that su yanbai slapped you just now, it didn''t hurt very much. It would only take a few days to swell up."


    With jian mengqi''s words, ye zhiqiao''s head was buried lower and lower, but her dusty face was getting darker and darker. She asked ye zhiqiao''s foot first, got an answer that was already fine, and then went to look at her face.


    Sure enough, ye zhiqiao''s originally thin cheek was now swollen, compared with the other side, it looked very incongruous, and the red palm print, the more you look, the more people get angry.


    "Did su yan really do it for nothing?" Yi chen asked in a low voice.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t answer. She looked up at jian mengqi and wrinkled her nose.


    Yi chen stood up, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that it really is. Zhiqiao, you go back to the ward and wait. I will go and get justice for you!"


    After that, he turned around and "Teng teng teng" went downstairs. Ye zhiqiao was so scared that she was afraid that he would really do something to su yanbai. She quickly asked jian mengqi to help her up and chase after yi chen.


    Downstairs, su yanbai was making a scene in the office. She was sure that gu mohan didn''t want her to go in, so the doctors and nurses helped gu mohan fool her.


    I don''t know which department''s doctor explained with a bitter face, "This lady, it''s not that we don''t allow it. Besides, you can go to whichever department is the patient you''re talking about. Don''t mess around with us!"


    "He''s in your department. His name is gu Mohan. If not, you can check it out!"


    The young doctor thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it does belong to our department, but the doctor in charge of treating him is our chief physician. It has nothing to do with us. If you have any problems, go to the director."


    Su yanbai snorted coldly and kicked the desk with her arm in her arms, "Your lousy director is no longer here. I''ve been there twice. I think he''s with gu mohan. Help him lie to me!"


    The little doctor was about to cry. He had never seen anyone so unreasonable before. In the past, even if someone occasionally came to the office to make a scene, they were all family members of the patient. But this young lady in front of him had nothing to do with the patient at all. She just wanted to go in and see the patient rejected, so she came here to make a scene.


    Just as the doctor was wondering if he should call the security room, another person suddenly barged in.


    The moment yi chen entered, he saw su yanbai standing in the middle of the office with his arms crossed. He had seen su yanbai a few times before and remembered her face, so he walked straight to her.


    "Su yanbai, right?!"


    Yi chen''s tone was very angry, and su yanbai was also furious. She retorted angrily, "It''s me, how about it?!"


    "You''re pretty tough? Huh?!" Yi chen glared at her and gritted his teeth, "Did you hit ye zhiqiao just now?"


    Hmm? Ye zhiqiao?


    Hearing this name, su yanbai was angry and wanted to laugh. She looked sideways at yi chen and asked, "What does it matter to you whether I hit her or not? Is your heart aching?"


    Yi chen laughed in anger, "Heartache? Let me show you, is it my heart or your face?!"


    As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to hit su yanbai''s face. Su yanbai screamed in fright and took a step back. His side face would avoid the cold slap, but the tip of his nose inevitably bumped into it.


    Su yanbai was shocked by this sudden shock. It took a long time for her to regain her senses. She raised her neck and asked sternly, "How dare you hit me?! How dare you hit me? Why should you?!"


    "Then why did you beat people up?!" Yi chen''s brows tightened and his fists trembled slightly. He was sure that if he spat out any more insults from su yanbai''s mouth, his fists would fall on su yanbai''s face in the next second, and he would never show mercy again.


    Su yanbai was not stupid either. If a woman confronted this big man in front of her, she would definitely not get anything good. Instead, she stopped talking about ye zhiqiao and asked, "Even if I did something before, it was between me and ye zhiqiao. What identity did you come to settle the score with me?"


    Yi chen curled his lips and sneered, "I just did it, okay?"


    "You!" He choked su yanbai and pointed at the camera in the corner of the office, "This is a hospital, a public place. I can sue you for the violence you used on me just now. The surveillance and this doctor can testify for me!"


    The doctor who was named by the innocent looked at the dusty face and quickly shook his head.


    While su yanbai was wondering the doctor''s reaction, she heard yi chen speak with a slight contempt, "Miss su may not know. This hospital is owned by the Yi''s. The doctors and surveillance here are also from the Yi''s, and..."


    He leaned over and said with a thick threat, "The wards here, the patients, are also from the Yi''s."


    The implication was that if su yanbai offended him, he would have a way to prevent her from seeing gu mohan at least once during his stay in the hospital.


    "... Su yanbai''s chest heaved violently. Her eyes were burning with anger at yi chen''s words, but she did not dare to confront him like before. She could only press her lips and force herself to calm down.

 Chapter 144 Hes Going to Have an Operation

    Ye zhiqiao ran to the door in a few seconds and heard yi chen''s last two words. She jumped to yi chen''s side and pulled his sleeve to verify, "Really? Is what you just said true? This hospital is yours?"


    Yi chen nodded. Of course it was his. Otherwise, how could he have received news of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s accident so soon?


    Ye zhiqiao could not contain the surprise in her heart. She shook yi chen''s arm and begged, "Then can you think of a way to let me go in and take a look at Mohan? When I went to see him yesterday, I could still see his condition from outside the glass, but today I suddenly blocked the curtains. I just asked the nurse by the way. She said she couldn''t go in. Can you help me think of a way?"


    Anxious, she said incoherently, but the general meaning of yi chen had already understood. He patted the back of her hand, motioned for her to calm down, and then took out her cell phone to make a call.


    "Hello? Uncle, I''m yi chen. Gu mohan''s attending physician was the most senior in the hospital and had worked for many years. Although he worked in the Yi''s, yi chen had to call him uncle.


    "I would like to ask about a new patient you recently received, gu Mohan, who lives in the icu. Now a friend of mine wants to go in and have a look. I remember there was a precedent like this before. Can you arrange it for me?"


    After yi chen finished speaking his purpose, he stopped talking. The person opposite seemed to have said a lot. Ye zhiqiao stared at his reaction without blinking, but saw that his brows were frowning deeper and deeper, and her heart could not help but gradually lift up. Didn''t the doctor agree?


    "Well, then, please... Okay, no problem... Goodbye."


    Yi chen closed the line and looked at ye zhiqiao apologetically, "I''m sorry, Zhiqiao. The doctor said that gu Mohan is going to be operated on soon. He can''t let his family in until then."


    "Is he going to have an operation? Didn''t the doctor say that there would be danger and that we should observe for a while longer?" When ye zhiqiao heard that she was going to have an operation, she couldn''t care less about going in and visiting. She was more concerned about gu mohan''s safety.


    Yi chen patted her on the back and comforted her, "Don''t worry. The doctor said that the chances of success are very high. He will be responsible for gu mohan''s life. He is not sure whether he will take risks."


    If the operation is very confident, then ye zhiqiao can really feel at ease. She had long thought that if gu mohan was unable to undergo surgery, she would never abandon him and stay by his side to take care of him. However, it would be best if she could operate. It would be more enjoyable for the healthy gu mohan to come back.


    Ye zhiqiao was relieved. Su yanbai, who had been standing beside her and heard all this, was also relieved.


    At first, she thought that gu mohan didn''t want to see her on purpose, but it was a misunderstanding. He didn''t hate her, he didn''t dislike her, he just had no choice for the time being.


    Thinking of this, su yanbai secretly curled her lips.


    None of them could see gu mohan, but none of them wanted to go back to rest. They had to sit in front of gu mohan''s ward and wait together. Fortunately, a few doctors and nurses walked steadily over and said they were going to push Mohan to the operating room.


    When gu mohan was pushed out, ye zhiqiao finally saw him again. She had only seen him through the glass window last night, but looking at him now, ye zhiqiao still felt that he was a lot stranger.


    He had a light blue plastic tube in his nose and mouth, and a few similar tubes stretched out from under the quilt. Ye zhiqiao probably knew that it was something that would help him maintain his life, but she couldn''t help but pull all those cold things off. Her gu mohan was healthy, strong, dry, handsome and sunny, and now she had so many things on her body for no reason. It made him look as fragile as a piece of white paper, which would break if he was not careful.


    But before she could do anything, gu mohan was already surrounded by a group of people and went up the elevator.


    The elevator was small. A hospital bed and a few doctors and nurses were already full. It was troublesome for her to follow.


    It was still too late for them to go down. The door to the operating room was closed and the red light above it was on, indicating that the operation had begun.


    Ye zhiqiao stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. The drama was about a person entering the operating room, then his relatives and friends pushed the bed beside him. Along the way, there were many touching words to say, or to comfort the patient not to be afraid, it would definitely be fine. But gu mohan, why was he pushed so forward?


    She even had time to look at him without even saying a word, although even if she did, he might not be able to hear her.


    Ye zhiqiao closed her eyes and kept thinking about gu mohan''s appearance from the crack in her white coat. She prayed silently in her heart that gu mohan would come out safely. The operation would be painful, but there was an anesthetic, so there was no need to worry. Gu mohan''s injury was very serious, but the surgeon was the most authoritative one, and there was no need to worry. Moreover, gu mohan himself, he would definitely not give up, because he knew that there was a person named ye zhiqiao waiting for him to come out, and he would not bear to leave her like this.


    "Gu mohan, please, come out properly."


    Ye zhi happened to subconsciously say this sentence was heard by su yanbai. Su yanbai smiled sarcastically and said, "What''s the use of pretending here now? To whom? Where did you go when brother gu was injured to save you? At that time, he hid fast."


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak, but she still crossed her fingers against her forehead and silently thought about what she had said to gu Mohan.


    "I told you not to pretend anymore. Why..."


    Seeing that ye zhi qiao did not answer, su yanbai was about to become more serious, but yi chen stopped. He pointed at su yanbai''s nose and told her to shut up."


    "I... I didn''t say anything, and it''s true. If prayer works, brother gu might as well stop the surgery and let her pray." Su yanbai still wanted to talk back, but her momentum was obviously lowered, and the last few words were barely audible.


    Yi chen looked at her coldly and asked, "Do you have any manners? Don''t talk nonsense if you don''t know anything. Mind your mouth!"


    "...


    Yi chen thought for a while, then warned, "Besides, I didn''t care about what happened before. In the future, you should pay attention to my attitude towards zhi qiao. If I find out that you are making trouble for her again, you will never enter this hospital again!"

 Chapter 145 Take My Blood

    Yi chen yelled at su yanbai. Su yanbai did not dare to talk back, and the corridor fell into silence.


    But the silence did not last long. The door to the operating room was suddenly opened and a doctor with a mask walked out quickly.


    He rushed to the people waiting for him and said quickly, "The patient''s broken ribs moved through the lung during the operation, causing massive internal bleeding and needing blood transfusions. The patient''s blood type is ab. Now there is not enough blood in the hospital. Contact his family as soon as possible to find someone with the same blood type."


    He did not pause to say such a long sentence, but the people present needed time to sort it out.


    Yi chen first asked, "Type ab is not as precious as panda blood. How can it not be? You can try to find or borrow from other hospitals, just say that I let you."


    The doctor explained, "It''s true. In the morning, the hospital thought that the pregnant women with the same blood type were bleeding heavily. They used more than half of the blood that was left in the blood bank. The rest had been given to the patient just now, and the time needed to borrow the blood was a lot, so it was better to look for it nearby."


    The rest of them looked at each other. They were all not ab blood. Where are they going to find gu mohan''s family now? Could little treasure give him a blood transfusion?


    Just as yi chen was about to call for someone, ye zhiqiao suddenly rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the doctor, saying anxiously, "Doctor, take my blood. I am type ab!"


    "This..." The doctor looked at her and hesitated.


    Because ye zhiqiao was thin, because she was frightened and injured in a car accident a few days ago, and her body condition was very bad, so several people didn''t bring her when they asked each other about their blood type, but the only person with the same blood type as gu mohan was her!


    "No!"


    Yi chen was the first to object. When he saw ye zhiqiao pull her back, he said nervously, "How can you give someone a blood transfusion when you are sick?!"


    Jian mengqi also felt that this method was not feasible. Although ab blood was not as much as o blood, it could still be found if she wanted to find it. Ye zhiqiao had not donated blood since she was an adult, but because her weight was not up to the standard, it was definitely more unsuitable in this case.


    She advised, "Zhiqiao, don''t worry. Let yi chen ask a friend for help. It won''t take much time. Let''s wait patiently."


    Su yanbai stood up again and stared at ye zhiqiao sarcastically, "Why not? How is brother gu now? Can he wait any longer? Brother gu didn''t think about saving you when he was in danger. Now you have to wait and see if you can get a blood transfusion? Brother gu is really mistaken."


    "Shut up!" Yi chen glared at her fiercely, refusing to let her continue.


    However, ye zhiqiao had made up her mind. She brushed away yi chen''s hand and took her hand. She walked to the doctor again, "It''s okay for me to draw some blood. Even if I''m weak, I can stay in the hospital for a few days. Gu mohan''s life is on the line now. There can''t be any more mistakes. Please, take me to the blood transfusion."


    The doctor looked behind her and saw that although yi chen could not bear it, he did not have any strong objections. He nodded and asked chang xia to come with him.


    The blood donation point in the hospital was a distance from where they were located. The doctor simply asked someone to bring a simple blood drawing equipment and draw blood for ye zhiqiao in the office next to the operating room.


    The needle used for drawing blood was no. 10, which was several times larger than usual. When the cold needle pierced ye zhiqiao''s delicate arm, she could not help but take a breath of cold air, clenching her teeth to keep her body as stable as possible, so that it was convenient for the doctor to work.


    When the transparent blood bag was slowly filled with dark red liquid, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt very peaceful. She knew that the blood that flowed out of her body would be sent to gu Mohan''s body, so he would come back from the gate of death as if he had been pulled back by her own hands. No matter what their outcome would be, the feeling of being connected by blood would never be erased.


    As the swing of the weighing tray stopped, the blood drawing was over.


    Ye zhiqiao''s arm was bandaged and forced to eat a chocolate bar. Because according to ye zhiqiao''s weight, the amount of blood donated should be controlled at two thousand milliliters, reaching three thousand may be dangerous, but today''s situation is urgent, enough to draw her four thousand milliliters of blood. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, the doctor specially ordered the nurse to help her back to the ward to rest before leaving.


    Gu mohan had no news yet. How could ye zhiqiao rest in peace? She went back to the operating room despite the nurse''s advice.


    The dizziness kept coming. She tried her best to lean back in the chair and wait for the results with the others. No matter what yichen and jian mengqi said, she was indifferent.


    Finally, an hour later, news came from the operating room again.


    The doctor took off his mask and stood in front of ye zhiqiao with a smile, "The patient is out of danger. The operation was very successful. Thanks to your timely blood donation, it gave us time. Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao''s face was already very pale, but she let out a faint breath and bowed to the doctor and said, "Thank you."


    "It should be done." The doctor nodded at yi chen and turned back to the operating room to deal with the rest.


    Yi chen was just about to say, "You can always rest easy this time, right?" But before he could speak, the people around him suddenly fell back.


    After persisting for more than an hour, ye zhiqiao finally couldn''t stand it and fainted.


    After the doctor''s examination, ye zhiqiao''s fainting belonged to a temporary coma caused by physical weakness and excessive blood donation. After being hospitalized for a period of time, there was no big problem with careful care.


    At the same time, gu mohan could also leave the icu and live in a normal ward. Jian mengqi ignored the dissatisfaction of dust, and sent gu mohan and ye zhiqiao to a superior double ward.


    A roomful of doctors and nurses carried out their final checkup to make sure neither of them were in danger. After leaving the ward, the four people waiting outside the door were finally allowed in.


    Su yanbai ran to gu mohan''s bed in three steps, but when she turned around and saw ye zhiqiao lying on another bed, she stopped abruptly.


    "Why is she here?!"


    When jian mengqi and yi chen went through the hospitalization procedures, su yanbai and her best friend were not there, so she did not know that gu mohan and ye zhi coincidentally lived in the same ward.


    No one answered her question. She walked over to jian mengqi and asked again, "Why do they live together?!"

 Chapter 146 Your Good Brother Wont Let Me In

    Jian mengqi didn''t even give her a wink and continued to stare at ye zhiqiao''s blood-donating arm.


    She gave jian mengqi a hard look, then looked at yi chen, who was also sitting beside ye zhiqiao''s bed. Her lips opened and closed several times, but she didn''t dare to ask.


    At this moment, her best friend suddenly pulled her out and came out of the ward.


    "Yan yan, is your brother gu with ye zhi coincidentally?" Her best friend asked tentatively.


    Su yanbai shook off her hand and frowned, "What are you talking about? How is that possible?!"


    "Then why are they in the same ward?"


    "Who are you going to ask me?!" Everything that happened today had made su yanbai close to collapse. She was already very angry, and her best friend was still making sarcastic remarks at this time, which made her even more irritable.


    Her best friend quickly explained, "Yan yan, don''t be angry. I don''t mean anything else. I just feel that... I feel that you are quite wronged. You said that no matter what your appearance or family background or personality is, you are no better than that ye zhiqiao, but she just doesn''t know herself. Just because she lost some blood to gu mohan, she pretended to be ill and went to gu Mohan''s side. It''s true."


    When she said that, su yanbai also felt that ye zhiqiao''s method was too much, and that jian mengqi was too much. She arranged the two of them together quietly. What was the intention?


    No matter what, brother gu and ye zhiqiao are not in a relationship right now. He hasn''t woken up yet. Why should they decide who brother gu lives with?!


    The more su yanbai thought about it, the angrier she became, but she was very helpless, "But yi chen is still here. He is obviously helping ye zhiqiao. This is his hospital. I can''t fight him at all!"


    Her best friend shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Even if it''s his hospital, he can''t be unreasonable, right? The patients didn''t agree, so they put people together without permission. There''s no reason why. Can he really do anything without caring? This hospital is his, but it''s not his own. Why should we be afraid of him?"


    Her best friend played with su yanbai. She knew that she was a firecracker. When did her friends get so angry when they hung out together? I have to make up for it!


    Su yanbai really believed what she said, and the strength to not admit defeat immediately came up. She stamped her foot hard, then kicked the door and rushed in.


    The sound of the door kicking attracted the eyes of the two people beside the bed. They looked at the person who made the noise together.


    Su yanbai also looked them in the eye and walked in quickly. She pointed at ye zhiqiao who was still unconscious and said, "Now, immediately, move her away from me. This ward belongs to brother gu. I will pay for it!"


    "Are you insane?" Jian mengqi stood up with a frown on her face and looked at her with amusement, "You don''t have to pay for the money and you don''t have to take care of the people. Hurry and go home!"


    Su yanbai retorted, "Jian mengqi, don''t go too far! My brother gu isn''t awake yet. None of you has the right to decide who he''s staying with. And if he wakes up and sees the woman who hurt him living with him, will you be able to take responsibility for what happened to him when he''s in a panic?!"


    "Oh, I''m so scared." Jian mengqi patted her chest and pretended to be afraid.


    Seeing that she couldn''t move, su yanbai took ye zhiqiao by the arm and was about to pull her up. "Get up, you get up. Stop pretending. I know you''re fine. Are you going to play dirty tricks with your friends for brother gu?"!"


    Her strength was so great that ye zhiqiao could not help but frown even when she was unconscious. At this time, yi chen had already walked around the end of the bed and came to her side.


    He grabbed su yanbai''s wrist with one hand, no longer controlling his strength, and threw it aside fiercely. Then he held ye zhiqiao''s head behind him and carefully put it back on the pillow.


    "Take care of her." He said to jian mengqi.


    Su yanbai almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, she was supported by her best friend. She stood up awkwardly and saw yi chen stride towards her.


    Yi chen could not bear it anymore. He pointed at her nose and shouted angrily, "Are you looking for death?! I remember telling you not to go to this hospital again!"


    "What''s wrong with me?! Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Su yanbai still had to argue with a stiff neck, but yi chen, who was opposite, started to pick up his phone and make a phone call.


    "Send a few security guards up... Yes, that ward..."


    Yi chen only said a few words, and in less than ten seconds, four or five security guards had already run in.


    Yi chen pointed in su yanbai''s direction. The security guards immediately understood and walked towards su yanbai and her best friend.


    The security guards were very polite before, but su yanbai''s resistance was too fierce, so they had to take strong measures and dragged them out of the room.


    Several security guards threw su yanbai outside the hospital door, then stood at the door with their hands behind their backs, apparently preventing her from entering again.


    When had su yanbai ever been humiliated like this? She scolded the passers-by who cast curious glances around her and then looked down at the arm she had just grabbed.


    "What a lunatic! Crazy!"


    She rubbed her reddened wrist as she thought of a solution.


    She couldn''t just swallow that. Besides, gu mohan was still inside, so she had to go in and see him.


    Just as she was racking her brains, she suddenly thought of someone she knew.


    The person''s number was still on the phone, so she dialed it directly.


    The other party quickly picked it up and asked with certainty, "Yan yan?"


    Su yanbai cleared her throat, "It''s me. Can you come over now? I''m at the door of your hospital."


    Yi shaozhi was a little surprised and asked worriedly, "What are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick?"


    "Oh, no, just something... Just come over when I call you. Why is it so troublesome to ask questions!" Su yanbai said impatiently.


    "Okay, I''ll go over now."


    Yi shaozhi moved so fast that in less than 20 minutes his car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.


    Yi shaozhi got out of the car next to her, glanced at her messy hairstyle and asked, "What''s the matter? Can we talk about it now?"


    Su yanbai pointed to the white building behind him and asked, "Is this your family''s property?"


    "Yeah." Yi shaozhi was confused, so he wondered why she suddenly asked this.


    "Take me in."


    "Ah?" Yi shaozhi was a little speechless and said, "Shall I take you in? Yourself..."


    Su yanbai glared at him angrily and awkwardly. She interrupted him and said, "Your good brother won''t let me in!"


    His brother wouldn''t let him? Dust prone?


    Yi shaozhi asked again, "Why didn''t he let you in? What happened between you?"


    "...

 Chapter 147 Half Father and Half Mother

    Su yanbai told yi shaozhi what happened today from beginning to end, then held her arms and waited to see his reaction.


    After yi shaozhi heard the first sentence, he asked, "You were kicked out of the hospital because of gu mohan?"


    His eyebrows were raised and his eyes were squeezed together. It was more appropriate to say sarcasm than a question. The elegant miss su yanbai was actually driven away by coercion for the sake of a man.


    "Ha!" Yi shaozhi sneered, "Miss su has a unique taste. I thought you liked people who followed your lead, but I didn''t expect you to like... Stickers?"


    "You..." Su yanbai frowned and glared at him, but then she realized that she had something to ask for, and that her anger would mess things up, so she swallowed it and said in a flattering tone, "Yi shaozhi, you can help me this time, okay? I really want to go in. If you help me this time, I will remember your kindness in the future."


    Yi shaozhi did not think that she would be grateful after he had hurt her, but since she had begged him like this, he could not be ruthless enough to refuse.


    He nodded in agreement, then took her inside. The security guards were not idiots. Although yi chen had just told them not to let that woman in again, now that they found yi shaozhi as their backer, how could they be stupid enough to stop her again?


    Su yanbai followed yi shaozhi and returned to gu mohan''s ward.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao had already woken up and was leaning against the bed with a cup of water to drink. When she saw the two people coming in, she softly called yi chen.


    Yi chen turned around and met yi shaozhi''s gaze. Then he saw su yanbai standing beside him with a smug face.


    "You actually came back?!"


    He asked su yanbai this question, but yi shaozhi answered for her, "I brought her in."


    "Brother, why are you..."


    Yi shaozhi raised his chin and said, "Don''t ask so much. Come back with me."


    "Where are you going?"


    "What do you think?" Yi shaozhi looked at him calmly for a while and then said, "Of course I''m going home."


    Yi chen immediately refused, "I''m not going back. Zhiqiao needs someone to take care of her."


    Yi shaozhi looked at ye zhiqiao with a blank face and snorted coldly. He walked over to yi chen, bent down, and whispered beside him, "You''d better come with me. I heard that you abused your power to drive su yanbai out. Do you need me to learn from you and drive her... Out?"


    Yi chen followed his gaze and ye zhiqiao was looking at her worriedly.


    How dare you threaten him with ye zhiqiao?!


    Yi chen was angry and shameless at yi shaozhi''s actions, but he had to admit that he did not dare to go against yi shaozhi, especially about ye zhiqiao.


    In the end, he had to get up helplessly, let ye zhiqiao not worry, and told jian mengqi to take good care of ye zhiqiao, then left the ward with yi shaozhi.


    Yi shaozhi really took him home. He didn''t understand the meaning of what yi shaozhi did, but the frustration in his heart was real. After entering the door, he didn''t speak to yi shaozhi and ran upstairs to his room.


    But when he turned around and closed the door, yi shaozhi stopped him.


    "Let''s talk." Yi shaozhi said.


    Yi chen flung off his hands and shuffled into the room in his slippers.


    Yi shaozhi was not annoyed. He walked in and closed the door again. Yi chen was sitting on the bed, so he pulled the chair in front of the table and sat opposite him.


    In yi chen''s room, there were many big boys'' favorite basketball and racing pictorials, as well as many models, many of which were given to him by yi shaozhi.


    Yi shaozhi picked up a dumbbell nearby and shook it. Seeing that yi chen had no reaction, he put it down and prepared to go straight to the point.


    "Why did you go to the hospital today?" He asked first.


    Yi chen lowered his eyes and shook his neck, "If you want to go, you can go. Where can I report to you?"


    Yi shaozhi smiled, "That''s not necessary. I just don''t want to hear it. You went to the hospital because of ye zhiqiao."


    Yi chen suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why?"


    "Because I want you to keep your distance from her in the future, and the farther the better."


    "What are you talking about? Talking in your sleep?!"


    Yi shaozhi smiled, put on a serious face and said, "It''s you who talks in your dreams. Ye zhiqiao has already rejected your proposal in front of so many people. Don''t you give up?"


    It did hurt yi chen, but it didn''t mean that he would give up, "Zhiqiao doesn''t know me well enough. He won''t agree. I''m too eager. But even though we failed this time, we still have a chance in the future."


    "Ha! What are the chances? Aren''t you ashamed? Huh? Everything was prepared, flowers and rings and so many friends. What happened? In the end, even I have to embarrass myself with you!"


    Yi chenteng stood up and shouted, "So what?!"


    Yi shaozhi also stood up, pointed at him and scolded, "You won''t give up until you get to the Yellow River, will you? Okay, I wanted to save some face for you, but now I just told you everything so that you could have some self-awareness! Think about it for yourself. How long have you been chasing that woman? It''s not enough to chase her at home. You even shamelessly chased her abroad. You spent money and got beaten up for her. In the end, you got thrown away and ran back."


    As he spoke, he pointed at himself again, "And me, how many tricks have I used in the company to offend gu mohan for your trivial matter!"


    Yi chen sneered, "It''s finally the point, isn''t it? What is it for me? You are doing it for yourself. For your own wealth and reputation, it has nothing to do with me!"


    "Yichen!"


    "Yi shaozhi!"


    The two brothers looked at each other, and the fire in their eyes was enough to ignite each other.


    Yi shaozhi, don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking. Dad doesn''t want your mom anymore. You''re afraid that you won''t get anything in the end, so you''ve been looking down on me all the time."


    Yi shaozhi stared at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.


    He and yi chen are half-brothers. When he was young, yi chen always used this to mock him, but since he grew up, yi chen rarely said such things.


    After many years, yi shaozhi''s anger was even more intense than at that time!


    Without a word, he turned away from the dusty bedroom and locked the door.


    After a while, yi chen heard him order the servants.


    "No one is allowed to open the door of second young master''s room for him. Let me find it. Pack my things and get out of here!"

 Chapter 148 Mother Gu Appeared

    After yi chen left, su yanbai had no scruples in the ward. First, she sat beside gu mohan and watched quietly for a while. Seeing that he did not show any signs of waking up, she turned her attention to ye zhiqiao, who was on the bed next to him.


    Ye zhiqiao was drinking porridge, which was bought for her by jian mengqi just now. She had no taste at all, and she was worried about gu mohan. In fact, she didn''t want to eat anything.


    Seeing this, su yanbai came to her and looked down at her bowl with her arms in her arms, "Can''t you drink it?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what she meant, so she nodded stiffly.


    "If you can''t eat this kind of porridge and vegetables, you might as well stop pretending. Brother gu is not awake again. You should eat something good now and continue to pretend to be pitiful when brother gu wakes up!"


    There was no ivory in the dog''s mouth. Just as jian mengqi was about to get up and teach her a lesson, she was held down by ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao gently shook her head at her, then continued to sip the porridge, looking calm and calm, as if there was no su yanbai around.


    Su yanbai, who was ignored, was even angrier. Yi chen had already left, and ye zhiqiao had no backer. How dare she be so arrogant?!


    She reached out and grabbed the bowl of porridge from ye zhi''s skillful hands. She placed it heavily on the bedside table and said provocatively, "Are you deaf? Why didn''t I answer when I was talking to you? Oh - because I was right, so I was speechless, right?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally patted jian mengqi''s hand to signal her to calm down.


    Their actions were noticed by su yanbai. She sneered and said, "You''re not going to be as knowledgeable as me, are you? Well, ye zhi happens to have the guts. Since you don''t want to talk about it, let me do it. Aren''t you afraid of being scolded? Then I''ll curse something worse and see which one of us can''t hold on first!"


    "Su yanbai, you''ve gone too far!"


    Jian mengqi finally couldn''t help it. Ignoring ye zhiqiao''s obstruction, she jumped up and ran to su yanbai, warning, "You want to scold me, right? You can try. I''ll slap you if you scold me, or you can see who can''t hold on first!"


    Su yan bai stood with her eyes fixed and nodded her head hatefully. She opened her mouth and scolded, "You two sluts, shameless -"


    As soon as she spoke, jian mengqi''s slap immediately greeted her, but when it was a few centimeters away from her cheek, it stopped abruptly.


    Su yanbai could hear the wind in her ear, but she did not feel the coming pain. She opened her eyes and looked at jian mengqi, who was still holding up her arms but was stunned. Then, she followed her gaze and turned around.


    Behind her, gu mohan had opened his eyes and was looking at the place without blinking.


    "Brother gu?" Su yanbai called out tentatively, and then gu mohan turned his eyes to her. There was no anger or blame in his eyes. She knew that gu mohan had not heard what she had just said.


    But...


    She turned her head to look at the stupefied jian mengqi. Gu mohan could see clearly the way she had hit her.


    "Brother gu..." She called again, but this time there was a cry in her voice.


    She ran to gu mohan''s bed and stroked his cheek, crying, "Brother gu, you''re finally awake. I''m so worried. What should I do if something happens to you?"


    Then she looked at jian mengqi behind her and said pitifully, "And I saw that sister ye was sick too, so I wanted to care about her, but sister ye ignored me, and the friend next to her came up and wanted to hit me. I... If you don''t wake up, I don''t know what to do. If I get hit... I... I won''t fight with anyone... I''m really scared..."


    Gu mohan''s eyes were fixed on ye zhiqiao, who was opposite him. Su yanbai talked for a long time before stopping. He looked at her crying face and said, "You go back first."


    "What?" Su yanbai suspected that she had heard wrong. She asked again, "Brother gu, what do you want me to... Do?"


    "Go back, aren''t you scared? Go back and rest."


    Hearing this, jian mengqi, who withdrew from ye zhiqiao''s side, covered her mouth and secretly laughed.


    Su yanbai refused. She shook gu mohan''s arm and said reluctantly, "Brother gu, how can you drive me away? I''ve been here with you all day. I didn''t even drink my saliva. You can''t do this to me."


    Gu mohan sat up with his face propped up on the bed, his mouth still aching from the surgery, and his body trembled slightly.


    Seeing this, su yanbai hurriedly held him up and let him borrow his strength. Then she took the pillow to lean on him and said politely, "Look, I can still take care of you here."


    After sitting down, gu mohan finally heaved a sigh and said to her, "It''s really not necessary. There are doctors and nurses here, and..."


    His voice suddenly stopped and he looked straight at the door.


    Everyone else in the room also looked towards the door and saw a woman in her forties, dressed up in style, coming in.


    But gu mohan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Mom, why are you here?"


    Jian mengqi and ye zhi happened to look at each other. They had the same idea: this mother gu was too young, too good-looking, and did not want to have a woman with such a big son as gu mohan at all.


    Mother gu came to gu mohan''s bed and scolded, "Can''t I come? Tell me about you. How could someone who sits in an office every day get hurt? You''re still hiding it from me, and you still think I''m your mother?"


    Gu mohan was scolded by her and smiled awkwardly. He lowered his head and stopped talking. She then turned her eyes to the girl beside her.


    She had seen this girl before, at several banquets and auctions, so she knew that she was the daughter of the su family, named su yanbai.


    She could not help but look carefully at the two eyes, and found that su yan bai''s face was full of wet tears, and her eyes were also red, obviously just crying.


    Su yanbai was standing beside gu mohan''s bed, so she must be sad for gu Mohan.


    Mother gu was very happy to get this inference. Did su yanbai like her son, gu mohan? It would be great if she could marry the su family. It would be good for gu Mohan and the entire gu family!


    Su yanbai saw that her mother was staring at her without blinking, so she said, "Hello, aunt gu. My name is su yanbai. I am brother gu''s... Friend."


    What this friend said was really ambiguous. Said jian mengqi secretly.


    Then she took ye zhiqiao and said hello to her mother, "Hello, aunt gu. We are also friends of gu mohan."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded at her words, "Hello, aunt gu."

 Chapter 149 Sister Ye Hid Behind You

    After a few more intimate conversations with su yanbai, mother gu finally looked at her son again.


    "Mohan, where are you hurt? I heard you had an operation. Tell mom what happened."


    Sure enough, gu mohan had just woken up, and before he had time to prepare a pretext to deal with it, he had to answer vaguely, "Actually, it''s not a big deal. I just got scratched by a car and had a minor operation. It''s not all right now."


    Mother gu hesitated and asked, "What kind of accident did that cause? Isn''t your car equipped with airbags?"


    "Yeah..." Gu mohan pressed his tongue against his cheek and said softly, "Not in the car, I''m... Walking on the road..."


    His voice was low, and mother gu listened for a long time before she realized, "What about the person who hit you? Did he break the rules when he hit you like this? Well, don''t run around. Mom will find you a lawyer and send him to jail."


    Gu mohan was extremely precious in the eyes of the gu family. If he was injured like this, the death of that person was not worth cherishing.


    When gu mohan heard this, he quickly explained, "No, no, that person actually..."


    He hesitated for a long time, but his mother was anxious and urged, "What the hell is going on? Tell me!"


    Su yanbai replied, "Auntie gu, after I found out that brother gu was injured, I did a quick investigation and got a general idea. How about I tell you?"


    When mother gu heard this, she simply asked her to speak.


    "Brother gu did not drive that day, but was hit by someone else on the road. But it''s not right to say that it was an accident, because the person driving the car was intentional..."


    Mother gu was shocked, "On purpose?!"


    "Auntie, don''t worry. I haven''t finished yet." Su yanbai comforted her mother and glanced in ye zhiqiao''s direction, "That person did it on purpose, but her goal was not brother gu, but sister ye."


    She reached out and pointed, "This is ye zhiqiao."


    Mother gu turned around and looked at ye zhiqiao, frowning in disgust the next second.


    Gu mohan quickly stopped him, "Su yanbai, don''t talk nonsense!"


    Su yanbai waved her hand innocently and explained, "I''m not talking nonsense! Brother gu, you can''t wrongly accuse me. Ever since I found out that you were injured, I immediately called my friend and asked people everywhere to find out what happened. Later, I got the accurate news that the person in the car was heading for sister ye and hit her twice in a row. Sister ye... Sister ye hid behind you, so she didn''t suffer anything. I had a great sleep. Unlike you, I had a life-and-death surgery and didn''t wake up until just now."


    "You..."


    Just as gu mohan was about to warn her to shut up, his mother had already said, "Stop scaring yan yan. She said it honestly because she cares about you. Not only should you not blame her, you should also thank her. As for some people, they really should pay the price."


    As she spoke, mother gu stood up with an unkind expression and came to ye zhiqiao''s bed.


    Ye zhiqiao hurriedly put on her shoes and got out of bed, but because she didn''t have the strength and panic in her heart, she didn''t tidy up for a long time.


    "That''s enough." Mother gu did not have the patience to wait for her and said directly, "I have heard of what kind of person you are. Now it''s too late to pretend to be good."


    The moment ye zhiqiao stood up, she heard her say this. She was stunned and didn''t know how to respond.


    Mother gu continued, "I asked you, is what yan yan said true? I want to hear the truth."


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyes and thought, su yanbai said that gu mohan was blocking the car for her, and the person in the car wanted to kill her. It seems that there is nothing wrong with su yanbai''s words. Although there are a lot of misleading words in su yanbai''s words, even those refuted seem to have no meaning.


    "It''s true." She nodded and admitted.


    "That''s honest." Mother gu looked at her and asked, "What is your relationship with Mohan?" !!


    Ye zhiqiao was startled and wondered why she suddenly asked this question.


    But then it became clear that if there was no special relationship between gu mohan and her, how could she possibly block the car for her, and how could she conceal her mother afterwards?


    However, although gu mohan had confessed to her and she had also discovered her feelings for gu Mohan, the two of them had not confirmed their relationship so far.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips, "We are... Colleagues. I am currently working at gu''s."


    After staring at her face for a long time, Mrs. Gu suddenly laughed, but her voice became sharper, "That''s dishonest. Little girl, do you treat others as idiots?!"


    I knew she would misunderstand. Ye zhiqiao hurriedly said, "Aunt gu, listen to my explanation..."


    "There''s nothing to explain!"


    Mother gu raised her hand to stop her, then took out an empty check from her handbag and said, "I''ve seen a lot of women like you. On the surface, they seem to be fine. In fact, they secretly want to seduce their superiors to cling to the boss. In the end, it''s just for the money. I have a check here. How much do you want to say? Stay away from mo han in the future!"


    Her sudden action caused ye zhi to not return to her senses for a long time, "Auntie, what do you mean by...? I... I... I''m not..."


    "No money, right?"


    Mother gu smiled sarcastically, "It''s not that you don''t want money, but that you don''t have enough. It doesn''t matter. Don''t be shy. Our gu family is not short of this to buy clean money. Is one million enough? Two million? Five million?"


    The amount of money that gu''s mother wanted to give multiplied, and ye zhiqiao''s expression became more and more rigid as the amount of money. She felt even more ashamed when the sun shone through the window.


    Almost subconsciously, she turned her eyes and looked at gu mohan a few meters away. Her expression was full of grievance and a desperate determination. That was gu mohan, her only hope.


    Gu mohan looked at her as well. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, but when he said it, he said something else, "Zhiqiao, you go first. We''ll talk about this... Later."


    Let''s go first. We''ll talk about it later.


    What does that mean?


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him incredulously, waiting for an explanation.


    Gu mohan had already explained it many times in his heart: my mother is here, and she has misunderstood you. The more I speak for you now, the more she will think that you are behind this. I will explain these things to her slowly in the future. Go home and wait for me. Be obedient.

 Chapter 150 Her Heart Was as Dead as Ashes

    Gu mohan said a lot in his heart, a lot, but in ye zhiqiao''s eyes, he only saw his silence, his helplessness, and he chose his mother without hesitation between her and his mother.


    Yes, that was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and she was nothing but a nanny who took his child under the same roof and lived with him for a few days. She had just designed a few sets of clothes for his company, but had coldly rejected his woman when he pulled down his face and confessed. Why should she fantasize that he would do anything for her?


    Ye zhiqiao''s face was as white as ashes in an instant. She no longer had to endure the insults of this woman she had never seen before, and no longer had to greet her on purpose. She could leave.


    She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown and a pair of slippers on her feet, but at this moment, she couldn''t care less and just wanted to get out of this suffocating ward.


    Her back was lonely and desperate as she ran out, and the wind brought her loose hospital gown tightly against her body, revealing her thin waist and making her eyes ache.


    Jian mengqi couldn''t stand it anymore. She pointed at gu mohan and scolded, "You bastard, how could you treat zhiqiao like this? Think about it yourself. Are you speaking human language?!"


    After that, she ran out after ye zhiqiao.


    However, when she ran all the way to the hospital entrance, jian mengqi did not find ye zhiqiao''s figure. She thought about it carefully. She had just fallen out with gu mohan, and she had no coat on and no money on her body. She would not run aimlessly, nor would she go to gu mohan''s house again. Perhaps, she had returned to her own home.


    Thinking of this, jian mengqi quickly drove to ye zhi Qiaojia.


    But she guessed wrong. Ye zhiqiao did not go to her own house, but went to gu mohan''s villa, not for anything else, just because little treasure was still there.


    She made a decision in her heart, but the only thing she couldn''t rest assured about was little treasure.


    When ye zhi happened to enter, little treasure was playing with blocks on the floor of the living room. He was very surprised to see her. His small mouth was round and he asked, "Aunt ye, aren''t you cold?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes immediately became moist. She didn''t want little treasure to see her cry, so she quickly went forward and took little treasure into her arms. She rubbed her soft hair and tried to suppress her crying. "Is little treasure playing with building blocks?" Did you finish your nap? Did you have a good lunch?"


    Although little treasure was a child, her senses were very sharp. She felt that aunt ye was very sad now, so she answered one by one in a very good way, "Little treasure is playing with building blocks. He has also finished his afternoon nap. At noon, he ate a big bowl of rice."


    Then, like ye zhiqiao holding her, she also stretched out two short arms and hugged ye zhiqiao''s back.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "That''s good, that''s good. Remember, auntie ye will only be happy if you eat well every day."


    "Aunt ye will accompany little treasure every day, and little treasure will eat a lot of food." Little treasure''s face was pressed against ye zhiqiao''s neck. He spoke in a sullen manner, but it was especially soft.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled her out, pinched her little face and said, "But aunt ye has to go on a business trip for a few days recently. When aunt ye is not around, little treasure has to eat well."


    "Why are you on a business trip?"


    "It''s something inside the company. Little treasure doesn''t understand."


    Little treasure was very sensible and knew that adults always had a lot of things to do every day. It was impossible to stay by her side all the time. But when she heard that ye zhiqiao was going out, a trace of disappointment flashed in her round eyes, "Then... Aunt ye, you must come back early. Remember that little treasure is still waiting for you at home."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, knowing in her heart that she might never come back, but she couldn''t bear to tell the truth to little treasure.


    "Little treasure, you promised me that you would take good care of yourself. Listen to your father and grandma li and don''t let adults worry, okay?"


    "Okay." Little treasure nodded his head vigorously, as if the more he nodded, the more sincere he was.


    Ye zhiqiao held little treasure tightly in her arms again and said slowly but solemnly, "Little treasure, you are auntie ye''s favorite person, the person auntie ye couldn''t bear to part with the most. Auntie ye really... Really likes you."


    Then, when little treasure didn''t know why, ye zhiqiao let go of her, ran upstairs to change her clothes, took her wallet, and ran out the door quickly.


    She could not stay any longer. She was reluctant to leave. The longer she stayed, the less courage she had to leave.


    It''s already decided, isn''t it? In fact, she should have left a long time ago. What was lacking was only a determination. The appearance of mother gu had given her a warning at the right time and made her realize the great difference between her and gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao left gu mohan''s house and took a taxi to the train station. She chose the nearest train and boarded the train.


    Just as ye zhiqiao took the train and drove away from the city, yi chen had already caused an uproar at home.


    He received a phone call from jian mengqi, who told him that ye zhiqiao was missing and the phone couldn''t be reached, so he wanted him to help him find it.


    He had been playing games since he was locked in his room by his brother. When he heard the news, he immediately got up and smashed on the door. The servants did not dare to open the door for him without permission, so they had to call yi shaozhi.


    "Aren''t you comfortable inside? Why do you suddenly want to go out?" Yi shaozhi leaned back in his chair and asked.


    Yi chen was not in the mood to beat around the bush and said directly, "I warn you, yi shaozhi, you have no right to lock me up and let me out!"


    "I said, if you don''t see ye zhiqiao anymore, I''ll let you go. This is for your own good."


    "In your dreams!" Yi chen pointed at his nose and said fiercely, "I''m an adult now. I can tell if it''s good or bad. You don''t have to worry about it. Get out of my way!"


    Yi shaozhi stood motionless at the door. Behind him were three bodyguards, each of whom had a strong body.


    "You won''t let me go, will you?" Yi chen asked. Yi shaozhi spread his hands and expressed his helplessness.


    Yi chen nodded hatefully and suddenly jumped onto the windowsill!


    The rest were startled and rushed in.


    "Don''t even come over. I''ll really jump if I take one more step!" The dusty room was on the third floor. Although it was not likely to fall to death after jumping down, even if it did not die, it would have to be disabled.


    Yi shaozhi was nervous, but on the surface, there was still a light breeze. He deliberately sneered and said, "Just for ye zhiqiao, you have to jump off a building, cry like a woman and hang yourself three times. It''s not the style of second young master yi."


    Yi chen also curled his lips and smiled, but then he reached out of the window and said word by word, "Yi shaozhi, since you know my style, then you should know if I''m afraid of death."

 Chapter 151 Station Theft

    Yi shaozhi''s body froze in an instant, because he read four words from yi chen''s eyes: "Burn the cauldron."


    As long as he said one more word, he was sure that yi chen would jump down without hesitation.


    After a while, he raised his hand, waved back the bodyguard behind him, sighed and said, "You go."


    After that, he turned and left the room.


    Yi chen looked down from the window. Sure enough, all the bodyguards at the door of the villa were evacuated. His brother didn''t lie to him.


    He went out and drove quickly. As for his destination, he had already thought of it after receiving a call from jian mengqi.


    Jian mengqi told him that ye zhiqiao left because of gu mohan. He would not look back at Mohan''s villa at this time, but he did not think so. Since jian mengqi could not find ye zhiqiao anywhere, it proved that ye zhiqiao was hiding from her on purpose.


    But even if she didn''t want to talk to anyone, she couldn''t bear to ignore someone.


    "Little treasure!"


    Yi chen came to gu mohan''s villa. When the servant opened the door for him, he saw little treasure sitting on the sofa in a daze.


    He looked around as if ye zhiqiao was really not there.


    Little treasure politely shouted, "Hello, uncle yi." Then he went back to his daze.


    Yi chen asked her, "What''s wrong, little treasure? Do you look unhappy?"


    "...


    The servant came over to serve tea and said, "It''s been like this since miss ye left. I don''t know what the two of them said. Little treasure was fine in the morning. He doesn''t even like to say anything now."


    "Ye zhiqiao was here?!"


    After yi chen finished asking, the servant nodded, then he looked at xiao bao and asked anxiously, "Xiao bao, tell uncle yi quickly. Did aunt ye tell you anything when she came? Where is she now?"


    Little treasure sighed listlessly, rubbed his eyes and whispered, "Aunt ye is going on a business trip, but I miss her so much now. She promised to come back early... But I still miss her."


    Business trip?


    Yi chen didn''t think that ye zhiqiao had any business to do and was on a business trip? Running away is more like it!


    "Did she tell you where you were going on a business trip?"


    Little treasure shook his head in confusion, "Little treasure forgot to ask."


    I won''t tell you if I ask. Yi chen replied in his heart, then got up and left the gu family.


    Yi chen sat in the car and asked his assistant to investigate whether ye zhiqiao had recently used her id card to buy tickets for trains or buses.


    In less than half an hour, the assistant sent a message.


    It showed that ye zhi coincidentally bought a train ticket to a city more than an hour ago, and the train had already left 40 minutes ago.


    A city. Yi chen thought about this city carefully in his mind. It seemed to be a tourist city adjacent to this city. The mountains and rivers were beautiful. It used to be a good way to relax, but ye zhiqiao ran over without telling anyone. What was she trying to do?


    "Ladies and gentlemen, the train will arrive at city a station in front of the station. The platform is in the direction of the train..."


    Ye zhiqiao followed the crowd to the door of the car. The crowd was noisy, and the noise around her made her head grow louder.


    She used to fly most of the time and rarely tried such crowded train carriages. At first, she was not used to the inevitable touch between people in this situation, and always looked back nervously. But after that, it happened too often, and she was too lazy to be pretentious to feel it.


    Finally, she squeezed out of the station and found a small, clean corner beside her, ready to check her "Injuries."


    For the convenience of going out, she was wearing a pair of sneakers, white. After being stepped on a few feet, she had successfully dyed it into gray. Her clothes and pants were also smeared with a lot of gray and many wrinkles. She had just been knocked on her waist by an uncle and aunt''s travel bag, and now it still hurts.!!


    When ye zhiqiao''s hand slid towards her leg, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She remembered that there was a cell phone in the pocket of her jeans. Why not now?!


    She reached for the other side of her trouser pocket, but there was no more. She touched her pocket again - not just her phone, but her wallet!


    Her first reaction was that she had been stolen, because her coat had a deep pocket, and her wallet would never fall out, and it was definitely not a coincidence that her phone was gone with her wallet.


    But...


    She turned back to look at the crowded exit and immediately gave up the idea of finding the lost property back. There were too many people, and she had no idea who it was. When it was stolen, even the police couldn''t find it.


    Fortunately, there was still some loose money in her coat pocket. She took it out when she bought the ticket. After the change, she didn''t put it back in her wallet and stuffed it into her pocket. She was really glad that she was lazy at that time.


    Her first priority was to find a place to stay. With such a small amount of money, she would not be able to stay in any star hotel, so she could only find a cheaper hotel.


    Fortunately, although it was a tourist city, the management here was not particularly strict. There were many small hotels scattered on the roadside. Ye zhi coincidentally picked a relatively clean one and walked in.


    The price of the hotel was within her limits. After a few hours on the train, she was exhausted and did not care about the simple environment of the small hotel. She hung up the door, took a shower and went to bed.


    But when she was really lying on the bed, she suddenly lost all sleep. Not sure if it was because of the cold shower in the small bathroom or because she smelled the faint smoke left by the last guest on the quilt, the tip of her nose suddenly began to sour, and her eyes blinked a few times before tears started to flow out.


    She lay flat on her bed and looked at the grey ceiling. Her heart was very sour. It wasn''t because she couldn''t accept where she lived. What really broke her down was how gu mohan looked in the hospital a few hours ago.


    Gu mohan''s mother''s words were harsh and aggressive, her words were not enough to insult and she used money to humiliate people. Ye zhi coincidentally did not lack money and was not used to swallowing her anger. She tolerated it again and again only because that person was gu mohan''s mother, and she subconsciously wanted to leave a good impression in her eyes. As for why she thought this, of course, it was for gu mohan.


    But what did gu mohan give her?


    Protection, heartache, or guilt? None of them. He told her to go. He obeyed his mother and told her to go!


    It''s so chilling.


    Ye zhiqiao held the quilt in her arms and stared at the ceiling absentmindedly. The scenes in the hospital appeared in front of her eyes, and she cried as she looked. It took her a long time to fall asleep with tears.

 Chapter 152 Gu Mohan Was Worried

    When ye zhi happened to curl up on the small bed and fall asleep, yi chen had already arrived in this city. He drove by the national highway, which was much faster than taking the train.


    He parked his car at the train station, but it was already past the arrival time of the train that ye zhiqiao took, and then he began to call ye zhiqiao crazily. In fact, he had been calling since he drove over, but he was not answered.


    But there seems to be something wrong this time.


    He remembered clearly that when he was on the road, the artificial voice on his phone said that no one was answering for the time being, but how did it turn off now?


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t seem to have the habit of turning off her phone. Was it because she didn''t want to be disturbed? No, he had called at least a few dozen times since he knew she was gone. How could he turn off his phone all of a sudden without turning it off?


    Could it be that something happened to ye zhi?


    This guess made yi chen''s heart wrench. He quickly called his assistant and asked him to find a way to investigate the hospitals in a city to see if there was any news about ye zhiqiao. Then he continued driving and aimlessly looked for ye zhiqiao on a strange street.


    At this time, gu mohan did not know the news of ye zhiqiao''s disappearance. His heart had been stuck on the back of ye zhiqiao when she left. Although he did that to keep gu''s mother safe, the damage to ye zhiqiao should be great, but now that he thought about it, he felt that it was not worth it.


    She wanted to call ye zhiqiao to apologize after everyone left, but her mother kept asking su yanbai questions. From the time of gu Mohan''s car accident, she finally asked su yanbai''s personal questions. She asked her whether she was in love three times. After getting a negative answer, her face almost blossomed with joy.


    Both gu mohan and su yanbai could see what gu''s mother was thinking, but su yanbai tried her best to pretend to be a reserved lady. She was too embarrassed to show her true colors. She only glanced shyly in gu Mohan''s direction from time to time, while gu Mohan completely ignored her.


    In the end, mother gu looked at the time and said that she had made an appointment with several sisters for a massage before getting up to leave.


    But before he left, he did not forget to hold su yanbai''s hand and said, "Yan yan, auntie will leave Mohan to you to take care of. He is a good child in every way. He has a cold temper. Don''t be angry with him. If he bullies you, tell auntie and I''ll take care of him!"


    Su yanbai smiled sheepishly and nodded, "I will listen to my aunt, but brother gu probably won''t bully me. He''s... Nice to me."


    With her words, mother gu couldn''t help but be overjoyed. She patted su yanbai on the back of her hand and finally walked out the door.


    After gu''s mother left, su yanbai immediately stuck to gu mohan and insisted on peeling an apple for him to eat.


    Gu mohan was not in the mood to deal with her. He glanced at her and said, "Aren''t you tired from staying here all day? Hurry home."


    "Brother gu, you don''t have to worry about me. I can do it."


    The corner of gu mohan''s mouth twitched as he thought to himself, why can''t this little girl see the height of her eyebrows? The car accident just now happened when she told her mother that she didn''t open the door, which made her look at ye zhiqiao with displeasure. Now that he wanted her to leave quickly, she couldn''t understand him.


    Su yanbai peeled the apple and took it to gu mohan''s mouth as if she wanted to feed him.


    Gu mohan dodged his head and said with a slightly sullen face, "My mother had a good impression of you just now. I''m sure you can tell, but she''s her and I''m me. Do you understand?"


    "I... Don''t quite understand..."


    "I think you understood when you investigated the car accident? Are you playing dumb with me now?" Gu mo smiled coldly, "Okay, let''s go while I''m still patient and keep smiling."


    "Brother gu..."


    Su yanbai still wanted to explain, but the next moment she met gu mohan''s cold gaze and her words stuck in her throat.


    "Brother gu, are you... Angry? I''m sorry..." The more su yanbai spoke, the lower her voice became. In the end, she had no confidence to continue.


    She bit her lip, picked up her clothes and bag, and walked out slowly. When she walked out of the door, she couldn''t hold back and said, "Brother gu, I''ll come back to see you another day."


    The answer was silence.


    When he heard the door closing, gu mohan looked away from the window. He picked up the phone on the cabinet and was about to call ye zhiqiao first, but before he could call, jian mengqi''s call came first.


    "Hello?" He was a little impatient and was looking for ye zhiqiao. What was the trouble?


    Jian mengqi''s tone was more urgent than his, "Gu mohan? Did you know that Zhiqiao was gone?!"


    "What''s gone? Where have you been?"


    He thought that ye zhi coincidentally moved out of his house in anger, but he didn''t expect jian mengqi to say, "Zhiqiao just took the train and left. I heard that she went to a city, but her phone couldn''t get through. No one can find her now. Although I was angry with you for what you did just now, I still think I should tell you. After all, Zhiqiao... Hello? Hello?! Hey!!!"


    Before she could finish, gu mohan had hung up.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t tell anyone and secretly went to a city?


    Gu mohan did not want to believe it at first, until he had called ye zhiqiao four or five times and his phone was turned off. He finally understood that ye zhiqiao was really angry this time, very angry, and even secretly left alone.


    He grabbed his cell phone, lifted the quilt, and was about to run under the bed, but as soon as his legs moved, the wound on his abdomen began to hurt.


    The surgical incision had just been stitched up, and the anesthetic had passed. It was painful to sit still, let alone stand and walk!


    But the pain had to be endured. Ye zhiqiao was still nowhere to be found. A woman was in a place where she was unfamiliar with life and could not even guarantee her safety. He had to go there immediately.


    He didn''t know how to put on his shoes and stand up. When gu Mohan walked to the door with his hands on his abdomen, his hospital gown was soaked and the cold sweat on his face dripped directly onto the ground. He clenched his teeth and his cheeks were tight, but he couldn''t help but groan in pain.


    A few meters away, he walked with difficulty for several minutes, each step seemed like someone had pulled a knife into his wound.


    But the pain was nothing compared to the worry about ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 153 Father and Daughter Went on the Road Together

    This was what the doctors and nurses saw when they came to check the room and opened the door. One of the nurses who had just graduated even let out a cry.


    After the operation, the patient who had just woken up from the coma got up and went down from the bed to the door. This kind of pain can''t be endured by a normal person, can it?


    The doctor was the first to react. He stepped forward to hold gu mohan''s body, then asked someone to help him back to the bed.


    Gu mohan quickly stopped him, "I have something important to do now. I have to leave immediately."


    "What is more important than your safety? You must be hospitalized now!" The doctor said sternly.


    "Aren''t you done with the surgery? The same goes for me when I go home."


    Gu mohan wanted to find an excuse to escape. The doctor didn''t give him a chance, "Are you trying to fool me or yourself? Your wound is already ruptured and bleeding. If you don''t treat it immediately, you might even lose too much blood and go into shock!" !!


    Gu mohan looked down and saw that there was indeed a lot of blood oozing from his clothes. He had been walking out with all his heart. Although his hands covering his abdomen felt wet, he did not think much about it. He thought it was sweat, but he did not expect the wound to open.


    The doctor said that the blood loss shock was just to scare him. Because the wound was stitched up well during the operation, the extent of the rupture was not too great, but seeing that he was obviously settled down, the doctor did not explain and directly instructed the nurse to stitch him up.


    Gu mohan was calm on the face, but the anxiety in his heart did not decrease at all. The doctor''s attitude was very firm, and he did not let him go. Moreover, he was worried that he would fall down, so finding ye zhiqiao was even more hopeless. He had to follow the doctor''s advice and continue to lie in bed.


    After the doctors and nurses left, he quickly called his assistant to find out where ye zhiqiao was as soon as possible.


    When the assistant heard gu Mohan say where ye zhiqiao was going, he immediately found out the train number that matched the time and drove to a city. At the same time, he found a friend in a city and asked his friend to transfer the surveillance video from the train station exit. He had to confirm that ye zhiqiao really went to a city.


    His friend moved quickly and soon a video was sent. He pulled over and watched the video first.


    The video was intercepted according to the time he provided, just when the train left the station, surrounded by a sea of people, but his eyes still accurately fell on ye zhiqiao, whose temperament was obviously different from others.


    Ye zhiqiao was obviously not used to the crowd. She was completely passively pushed out by the crowd with a pained expression, but at least she could be sure that she did settle down in a city.


    The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and was about to close the video page when her eyes caught a glimpse of a certain spot when she suddenly paused.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was a few steps away from squeezing out the crowd and was showing the ticket to the staff, an uncoordinated black hand appeared on her yellow down jacket.


    First, the hand reached into her pocket and took out a rectangular object. Then, seeing that ye zhiqiao didn''t notice it, she extended her hand downwards.


    Being blocked, the assistant couldn''t see what the big black hand had done, but when the hand was raised again, there was already a cell phone in his palm. The assistant on the cell phone shell recognized that it was ye zhiqiao''s.


    The assistant quickly informed gu mohan of this matter.


    "What? Stolen?!"


    "Yes, according to what I saw in the video, miss ye''s cell phone and wallet were stolen. As for the other items, we can''t be sure for the time being."


    Gu mohan was furious, "Both of the most basic things are gone. What''s the use of the rest?!"


    He took a few deep breaths, and the wound began to hurt again, which made him even more agitated, "Okay, I know. You continue to investigate, as much as you can. Let me know as soon as you have news."


    "Okay."


    After hanging up, gu mohan couldn''t wait any longer and decided to leave the hospital.


    When he pressed the wound again and walked towards the door, a nurse came in just in time to change his iv drip. She was so shocked that she couldn''t close her mouth when she saw him like this.


    "You, you, you... Why are you up again? Didn''t the doctor say you couldn''t move now?!"


    As if he hadn''t heard anything, gu mohan moved out of the room. The nurse quickly stopped him and said sternly, "No, you can''t go. Go back to bed!"


    "Get out of the way. I left voluntarily. Your hospital is not responsible for anything that happened."


    "That''s not what I meant. Since you are with us, we have an obligation..."


    Gu mohan didn''t listen to her and walked around her. Seeing that he couldn''t be stopped, the nurse ran to the attending doctor.


    Gu mohan quickly walked away in the opposite direction. The pain in the wound kept on and on. From the initial intensity to now, he was almost numb. He could not see his lips, which were almost as pale as his face, but frightened the driver when he took a taxi home.


    When he got home, little treasure was also shocked to see his appearance. He ran over and did not dare to pounce on him like before. Instead, he asked weakly, "Dad, what''s wrong with you?"


    Gu mohan asked the servant to bring him the car keys and wanted to squat down to touch little treasure''s face, but his physical condition did not allow him. He smiled placatingly and said, "Dad is fine, but he may be out for a few days. You will be fine at home by yourself."


    Hearing this, little treasure cried out "Wow" and said, "Auntie ye wants little treasure... Okay, dad... Also calls little treasure okay, but... But little treasure is so scared, don''t you... Don''t want me anymore?"


    Did ye zhiqiao come back to see little treasure?


    Jian mengqi didn''t say this on the phone, so gu mohan didn''t know that before she left, only little treasure was the one she couldn''t bear to part with.


    Gu mohan pressed on the wound with one hand and supported his waist with the other. He squatted down carefully, wiped away the round tears on little treasure''s face and coaxed, "Little treasure, don''t cry. How could we possibly not have you? Your aunt ye went somewhere else to play. Dad wanted to find her."


    "Eh?" Little treasure sobbed and blinked, "Daddy is going to see aunt ye? I''ll go too."


    Gu mohan''s first reaction was to refuse. How could a child follow such a long way?


    But then he thought that with little treasure''s current state of mind, without him and ye zhiqiao around, he would definitely not be able to eat, sleep well, and the situation might become worse. Moreover, if he could not talk to ye zhiqiao over there, with little treasure there, she would definitely be soft-hearted. Maybe by then, a family of three would be able to come back with meimei.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan nodded and agreed.

 Chapter 154 Help!

    It was already late at night when the father and daughter set off. Little treasure was still a child. Although he was worried, he couldn''t resist the heavy sleepiness with his father around him.


    Gu mohan held the steering wheel with one hand, pulled the blanket up for her, covered her chin, and called her assistant.


    Before, he was in a hurry and didn''t think about many things clearly. After a temper tantrum, the assistant looked around aimlessly, which would only delay the unnecessary time.


    "President gu." The assistant''s voice was full of fatigue, so she must have been up all day.


    "You''ve worked hard." Gu mohan thanked him and then asked, "Is there still no clue?"


    "Yes, I''m sorry."


    The national road was very quiet at night. Occasionally, a truck drove by at night and drove away immediately. Gu mohan took a look at the sign in the sky with the light and knew that he was still a long way from city a.


    He blinked hard and said to the phone, "She lost her wallet and cell phone. Even if she has money, she doesn''t have much left. Her id card is in her wallet. She doesn''t even have anything to prove her identity, but she can''t live on the streets. You go to the train station and look for a small hotel that is cheap and doesn''t require a real name to register. Maybe she''ll choose there."


    The assistant agreed and hung up.


    Gu mohan put down his phone and pressed his hand on his abdomen.


    His wound was on the left side of his stomach and could be seen as long as he lowered his head, but since leaving the hospital, he hadn''t looked there at all. Because he had taken two painkillers before he left, the pain was not as intense as before, but he could feel it through his skin. The stitches on the wound must have burst again, and there must have been a lot of blood. He was afraid that when he saw it, he would really be unable to hold on. Those who didn''t know it were fearless. Those who didn''t know the truth might be able to hold on longer if they encouraged themselves.


    Less than an hour later, the assistant called again.


    "President huo, your orders have come to fruition. There are a lot of cheap hotels near the train station, but there are very few without id cards. There are only about two or three of them, and their locations are quite remote."


    "Two or three?" Gu mohan pondered for a moment and asked, "Which one of them is cleaner?"


    Ye zhiqiao loved cleanliness. Even if she didn''t have money, she probably wouldn''t live in a dirty place.


    The assistant replied with some difficulty, "That fly-head shop shouldn''t be too neat, right? If you have to pick one..."


    The assistant gave him a name, and then gu mohan asked him to send him the exact location of the hotel.


    It was three in the morning. Gu mohan''s black car was speeding along the dark road, surrounded by rocks and dense trees, while ye zhiqiao was lying on the small bed tossing and turning restlessly.


    The quality of this small single bed was very bad. When one moved lightly on it, the bed would make a annoying sound of "Creaking." Later, ye zhiqiao finally couldn''t stand it. She got up and examined it carefully. She put a folded cardboard under the broken leg of the bed, and then climbed into bed with ease.


    However, she couldn''t sleep at all. After waking up, ye zhiqiao was completely frozen in the room where the heating had been cut off, and even the smoking quilt was not disgusted. She covered her head directly and curled up like a cooked shrimp.


    Just as she was pondering whether to make a suggestion to the innkeeper tomorrow, even if she did not provide hot water, she had to maintain the average temperature in the room, when she suddenly heard something in the corridor.


    The doors in the hotel were all made of the worst material, let alone soundproofing. It was estimated that even a skinny woman could kick them open, so the sound in the corridor could be clearly heard by ye zhiqiao.


    Strange sounds in the middle of the night always made people nervous. Ye zhiqiao lifted the quilt and listened to the movement outside the door with bated breath.


    It seemed to be the sound of people walking, and not just one person, rustling, as if deliberately lightening their footsteps.


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart was pounding with that sound. Suddenly, her heart stopped, and then it vibrated even more violently, almost jumping out of her chest!


    Because the sound she heard, at this moment, stopped at her door -


    The man''s low voice sounded intermittently. Ye zhiqiao''s nerves were tense and her hands were tightly clutching the quilt on her chest. She knew what she should do now. She shouted to remind the people outside that she was still awake, or immediately called the police, because no matter what angle she looked at, the people outside at this time would only be a threat to her and could not be kind.


    But before she could use any other method, the lock on the door had already clicked open.


    Ah!!!


    The scream rang out from her heart, but she immediately choked it back into her stomach.


    Almost instinctively, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.


    If there was light, her eyelashes and even her lips could be clearly seen trembling, but it was impossible for someone to turn on the light.


    With her eyes closed, her hearing became sharper. Ye zhiqiao felt that they seemed to have been watching by the bed for a long time, then tiptoed to the window and whispered a few words.


    "How is it? This time the goods are good, right? As soon as the girl comes, I''ve been watching her. You have to give her a good price."


    This voice was familiar to ye zhiqiao, and then she remembered that it was the owner of the hotel. When she came in, the owner came over to ask her if her room was satisfactory. At that time, she thought that her uncle in his forties was a very kind person, but she didn''t expect...


    At this moment, another male voice rang out, "It''s much better than before. The rules are the same as before. Just put it in the car and pay."


    A younger voice said, "Brother, she''s not awake. What should we do?" !!!


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked. Her palms were covered in sticky sweat. She was absolutely sure that these people were human traffickers. This shop was a black shop!


    She bolted out of bed and ran to the door without even putting on her shoes.


    A shout came from behind, followed by heavy footsteps.


    Ye zhiqiao ran to the door smoothly, but the doorknob didn''t open, and they locked the door when they came in!


    When she came to her senses and was about to unscrew the door lock, a pair of large hands reached behind her.


    "Ah!! Ahhh!!!"


    Her shoulder was grabbed, and her eyes widened as she screamed in terror, "Help!! Help! Help me! There are traffickers... Hmm..."

 Chapter 155 The Man with a Black Mole on His Lips

    Ye zhiqiao''s mouth was covered, and her face was almost pressed down by that hand. In a few seconds, the air in her lungs was almost drained.


    At this moment, a shrill voice sounded in her ear, followed by a disgusting smell of smoke: "Don''t shout, don''t move, I''ll let you go."


    Ye zhiqiao had been leaning her neck back and her face was facing the roof. Hearing this, she quickly hummed two times to express her agreement. After feeling the strength of the hand gradually decrease, she tried to relax her body as much as possible.


    She wanted to make a deal, but she did not expect that the moment she lowered her head, a heavy blow to the back of her neck caused a sharp pain, and then her eyes darkened, and she collapsed limply.


    The other party was not prepared to let her speak again.


    The man who knocked her out turned around and looked at the innkeeper who was trembling with fear and his adoring second brother. He grinned and the mole on his lower lip became more obvious. He cursed, "This little girl can still act well. She almost stabbed us out. Damn it."


    The second brother patted the innkeeper and asked, "Could the people who stayed in the hotel hear her shouting just now?"


    The innkeeper shook his head repeatedly, and the flesh on his face trembled with his movements, "No, no, don''t worry, both of you. I specially arranged for her to be in a place where there were few people. She was alone in this half of the corridor. In the middle of the night, even if there were sharp ears, I think it was a dream."


    The second brother nodded and said to the eldest brother, "Brother, shall we take her away now?"


    Big brother glanced out of the window. They were late today. It was almost dawn. It was best to bring people at night. This time...


    After thinking for a few minutes, he finally said, "Let''s go. Be quick!" If we don''t transport them now, we''ll be afraid of long nights and long dreams. This woman seems to be very clever at first sight and can probably do something here.


    Just like that, the hotel owner looked at the road for them. The two brothers supported ye zhiqiao''s arms from left to right and walked out of the hotel. Even if they were seen, they could be said to be holding their drunken wife home.


    Fortunately, they did not meet anyone along the way. They still sealed ye zhiqiao''s mouth, tied her hands and feet, and then stuffed them into the trunk to get money for the hotel owner.


    At this time, gu mohan had already driven into the city, not far ahead is a city railway station. According to the location provided by the assistant, the hotel that ye zhiqiao might stay at is not far away.


    Little treasure was still asleep, and gu mohan carried her to the children''s seat in the back seat halfway, so that even if the brakes started, he was not worried that she would fall.


    It was five o'' clock in the morning, and the food stalls outside the train station had already begun to be set up. The scattered shops were randomly setting up stalls on the ground. The scene was very chaotic. Gu mohan''s car was already big, and it was very difficult to shuttle through it.


    The leak happened to rain overnight. In this situation, there were two people who quarreled for some unknown reason a few meters ahead. For a moment, the road was surrounded by spectators who tried to stop the fight.


    Just as gu mohan was frowning, he saw an empty space on his left. He could drive around a corner to the hotel across the street.


    He reversed his car and headed straight for the road.


    Suddenly! A silver-white van was driving in the opposite direction. Gu mohan didn''t know what the people inside were doing. He honked his horn several times and the people inside didn''t respond. The two cars, which could have been perfectly staggered from left to right, were getting closer and closer to each other.


    Even if gu mohan slammed on the brakes, it was useless. He simply turned left, ready to run backwards, but the distance was not enough, and the headlights of the two cars still collided.


    The "Bang" sound was neither big nor small, but it was enough to attract a lot of people''s attention.


    The person in the car opposite had already come down. Gu mohan looked back at little treasure and saw that she was still asleep. He opened the door and got out of the car, then locked the door.


    "Hey, what''s wrong with you? Can you drive?!" The man on the other side started the fight.


    Gu mohan stared at him expressionlessly for a while, then slowly said, "You were driving in the opposite direction. I honked to warn you, but you..."


    As he spoke, he glanced at the passenger side of the van. Then he said, "It seems like he''s talking to your friend about something on the phone, but he didn''t hear it."


    "We... We didn''t, you, you, you... Don''t talk nonsense!"


    Someone around seemed to have seen the whole process and looked at the man disapprovingly.


    The skinny man trotted back to the car and said a few words to the man sitting inside.


    "Brother, it seems to be a tough nut to crack. I can''t do it. Why don''t you do it?"


    The man inside reached out his hand and hit him hard on the head, "Damn it, you coward. You can''t even steal some money. Why don''t you give it back to me?! Get the hell out of here!"


    The man spat, opened the door and got out of the car, walking in gu mohan''s direction.


    Gu mohan glanced at the mole on his lips and stood there waiting for him with a frown.


    "Ah! Buddy, it''s natural to pay for a car crash. My second brother is too young to talk, but he can''t show that we are in the wrong! That way, I won''t ask you for more. Two thousand dollars, just let me fix the headlights."


    Men are very easy to talk to. Indeed, if he had met someone who drove such a luxury car before, he would have asked for seven or eight thousand. But not now. There was a woman in the trunk who didn''t know when she would wake up. He couldn''t take the risk.


    "Heh -" gu mo laughed coldly, "What are you thinking? You haven''t woken up yet, have you?"


    The man froze, cursed and then asked loudly, "What did you say?!"


    "That''s what you heard. You wanted to extort money. You got the wrong person."


    Gu mohan looked at his watch and said, "I''m in a hurry now. I don''t care about you. I''d better be smart and not make trouble. Otherwise..."


    "What about you?"


    "Call the police. Let the traffic police investigate."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers burst into laughter and the elder brother said sarcastically, "Have I given you some face? Call the police? Do you think you have a chance?"


    Gu mohan looked at his watch again and then looked across. He was afraid that he would be late, so ye zhiqiao checked out and left. In that case, looking for her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.


    "I''ll give you the money." He took out a stack of cash from his wallet and said, "I don''t have much cash. A thousand, okay?"


    "No, two thousand, not a penny less!"


    Gu mohan lost all patience and said in a low voice, "Do you want money or not?"


    As he spoke, he was about to punch him, and the two men on the other side were ready to fight.

 Chapter 156 Failed to Call for Help?

    Just as the three of them were about to start a war, a commotion suddenly came from the crowd.


    "Ah, there seems to be movement in here?"


    "Yeah, I heard it too. Why is there so much noise in the trunk? Isn''t it something to protect animals?"


    The three of them were stunned.


    The two brothers looked at each other, smiled vaguely, and said, "Actually, it''s not a big deal. It''s not good to be hurt. Since the car is damaged, or you can repair your own, it''s okay!"


    With that said, the two of them hurried in the direction of the van.


    The noise from the trunk continued, and ye zhiqiao had kicked the door for almost five minutes. She was tired.


    She was sweating profusely.


    Ever since the two cars collided, the strong vibration had woken her up. She found that her hands and feet were tied, and she could not move. There was a piece of tape on her mouth, and she could not speak.


    However, she did not dare to speak, because she saw from the gap in the seat that the man driving suddenly got out of the car for some unknown reason, but there was another man sitting in the passenger seat. The man left behind was strong, and she subconsciously felt that it was this man who knocked her out, so she was even more afraid to act rashly.


    She tried her best to force herself to calm down and look for an opportunity. Finally, another man got out of the car, and she almost burst into tears of joy. She heard the noise around her early in the morning. There must be a lot of people here. Looking at the sky, they should not have gone far. This might be near the train station!


    So, she kicked the door like crazy, because the environment was limited, even if she used all her strength, the sound was still very limited, so she was not sure if anyone could hear the sound she made.


    Ye zhi coincidentally took a few seconds to rest. Just as she was about to catch her breath, the car door was suddenly opened.


    She opened her eyes wide and looked over there without blinking -


    Right, it was the man''s fierce eyes, he seemed to say: "If you are not honest, I will kill you!"


    Ye zhiqiao closed her eyes in despair, and the last bit of strength in her body was taken away. She gave up. From now on, she would never have such an opportunity. She would be sold to nightclubs or ravines by these two men. Everything in the past... Would be farewell to her.


    "Bang bang."


    The window of the car was knocked on, and ye zhiqiao''s heart moved. She was about to look over, but suddenly she was covered by a military coat, and her vision was blocked.


    The man opened the window and asked outside, "What''s the matter, buddy? Are you still going if you don''t want to lose money?"


    Gu mohan rubbed his nose with his fingers and said with a little embarrassment, "I''m sorry. I just got in the car and found that my car couldn''t catch fire. I think you guys are experts. Can you help me take a look? Don''t worry, I won''t give you less money if you fix my car."


    "Don''t you only have a thousand dollars?"


    "That''s cash. I still have my card with me."


    The two of them looked at each other again. Then the strong man got out of the car and muttered to himself, "How could the car - ah!!"


    Gu mohan wrapped his arms around his neck from behind and bent his knees to his legs!


    The man was unprepared. He knelt on the ground, but in the next second, he reached out and resisted. The man in the car saw that something was wrong and ran down. The two of them were fighting around gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was injured and could not hold on for long. Fortunately, he had just asked a good-looking uncle to go to the train station to find the police. At this time, two police officers had already arrived and subdued two men.


    Taking care of his painless abdomen, he staggered to the front of the van, pressed the control panel, and slowly opened the trunk.


    The crowd exclaimed because they saw a man lying in the trunk!


    Gu mohan ran over and lifted the man''s military coat. A small tearful face appeared before his eyes.


    "Zhiqiao!" He shouted.


    "Woo woo -"


    Ye zhiqiao''s mouth was still sealed. Gu mohan quickly tore the tape off and began to untie the hemp rope from her body. After doing all this, a warm body fell into his arms.


    Then came ye zhiqiao''s uncontrollable cry, "Gu mohan... Gu mohan... I''m so scared... I''m really scared... I thought... I thought I would never see you again..."


    At this moment, gu mohan felt like his soul had returned to him. He hugged her tightly, caressed her back and whispered, "I''m not afraid. I''m here. No matter what happens, I''ll protect you. Don''t be afraid."


    His voice was trembling unnoticeably, one because of the pained look of ye zhiqiao, and the other because of the pain of tearing his wound again.


    He didn''t dare to wait any longer. Maybe he would faint from the pain. Before that, he had to send ye zhiqiao to a safe place.


    "Stop crying, zhiqiao... Come... Let me see if you are hurt..." Gu mohan looked up and down and did not see any trauma from ye zhiqiao, but he was still worried. He got her up and walked in the direction of his car.


    "Go to the hospital for a checkup first. We''ll talk about the rest later." He opened the car door and put her in, then raised his chin behind him, trying to show a smile and said, "Little treasure is here too."


    Gu mohan drove to the nearest hospital, first sent ye zhiqiao inside for a checkup, then came back and carried little treasure inside.


    The little guy woke up several times in the night. He was sleeping soundly, so he couldn''t bear to wake her up.


    When they returned, ye zhiqiao had already finished several tests and was waiting for the results in the ward that gu mohan had arranged. When gu mohan came in, he put little treasure beside her.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were red, and the fear had not completely faded, but her face became extremely soft when she saw little treasure.


    She stared at little treasure''s round face for a while, then remembered something and looked up and asked, "How did you know I was there?"


    Gu mohan was taken aback, "Well... The people around me said there was a noise in the trunk. I didn''t think much at first and went back to the car when they stopped asking for money. But then I became more and more uneasy. Actually, there was no real reason. I just felt that I should go to the trunk to have a look."


    "See me?"


    Gu mohan nodded, "I glanced at them, but I didn''t dare to look at them. I was afraid they would suspect me, but at that time I killed them."


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to ask, "Then why don''t you beat them twice?" Then he thought about gu mohan''s surgery, and his whole body became nervous.

 Chapter 157 And What About Him?

    Ye zhiqiao looked down at gu mohan''s abdomen, but he was wearing a coat and couldn''t see what was going on there.


    "How''s your wound after the operation? You can''t just move around, can you? How did you get here after running so far? By train, by plane, or did your assistant send you here?"


    Hearing this, gu mohan grinned and was about to say to her, "I drove here by myself to win her heartache and affection. But before he could say anything, his smile froze on his face."


    Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his wound, and then his whole body began to soften. He bent forward as if he could not hold his knees and fell down with his eyes closed.


    "Gu mohan! Gu mohan!!"


    Ye zhiqiao quickly ran out of bed and squatted beside him trying to pull him up, but she was not strong enough. Moreover, when she found that gu mohan was being moved, her brows would immediately furrow tightly and her body would instantly tense up.


    She quickly rang the bell and called the nurse, then tried to pat his face, but there was no response. She suddenly thought of something. She unzipped his jacket, then reached out and slowly opened the black sweater.


    "Ugh!" The moment she saw it, her face turned pale.


    Gu mohan''s stomach was almost stained with blood, and the white gauze on it had lost its shape.


    The doctor and nurse came in and were shocked to see such a scene. The amount of blood loss could not be caused in a short time.


    They hurriedly carried gu mohan onto the bed, removed the gauze, stitched the wound, and injected the fluid. It took them nearly an hour to get out.


    Ye zhiqiao was frightened outside. When she saw the doctor coming out, she immediately went up to ask about the situation.


    "The patient is still in a coma for the time being, with excessive blood loss and signs of inflammation at the scalpel wound, and needs to be hospitalized for further observation, but there is basically no life risk."


    "When will he wake up?" Ye zhiqiao pulled the doctor''s sleeve and asked.


    "I don''t know. Let''s wait."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and told the doctor to use the best medicine before returning to the ward.


    Gu mohan was lying on the bed where she had been lying just now, not moving or talking. He was so different from when he saw her a few hours ago. He couldn''t imagine that gu mohan was just holding on to his body, fighting with the two traffickers, carrying her back to the car and driving all the way to the hospital without mentioning anything about his own injuries.


    With so much blood, how could he not know? I didn''t say it because I was afraid she was worried.


    Ye zhi coincidentally sat next to him and touched his face with heartache, then prepared to call jian mengqi.


    Gu mohan must have come here to hide it from everyone. Otherwise, in his condition, not to mention his mother, even su yanbai would have fought tooth and nail to stop him. And those people in his company, if they can''t find him, they must be crazy.


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at him again and frowned worriedly. Then she touched her pocket and remembered that her phone should still be in the black shop.


    So she rummaged through Mohan''s jacket and found his phone to call her.


    "I''m sorry, the number you dialed has not been answered for the time being..."


    Ye zhiqiao fought three times in a row, and it was always the same across the street. She didn''t know that jian mengqi, who was far away in another city, was going crazy looking for her. She was afraid that the information she got was inaccurate and that she didn''t leave at all, so she stayed up all night, tossing and turning in every place she might go, leaving her cell phone at home to charge and forgetting to take it out.


    She couldn''t reach jian mengqi, and ye zhiqiao had so few friends that she had no choice but to call yi chen.


    Yi chen answered the phone quickly, but his tone was not very good, "Have you found someone? Of course not. Otherwise, how could you, master gu, call me? To tell you the truth, I didn''t..."


    "Dusty." He talked endlessly, and ye zhiqiao couldn''t listen any longer. She interrupted, "I''m ye zhiqiao."


    Of course, yi chen recognized it. From the sound of "Yi chen," he held the phone tightly and asked repeatedly, "Where are you? How did you use gu mohan''s phone? Why did I run away without saying a word? Do you know how anxious I was?"


    "I''m sorry, thank you. Can you do me a favor?"


    "Tell me where you are and help me with anything!"


    Ye zhiqiao stuffed gu mohan''s hand into the quilt and said, "I''m in a city."


    "I know, I''m here too!"


    "Ah?!" This time it was ye zhiqiao''s turn to be surprised: "Why are you in a city, you come..."


    Yi chen raised his voice, "I came to find you, so tell me where you are."


    "I was in the hospital, and gu mohan came to see me, but his knife had split open and he''s still unconscious. I don''t know when he''ll wake up."


    Gu mohan took another step forward.


    Yi chen sighed deeply and said, "Okay, tell me the location of the hospital. I''ll look for you."


    It was already noon when yi chen rushed over. There were very few people in the hospital, not even a few people in the corridor.


    He followed the ward number given by ye zhiqiao and was about to open the door when he suddenly stopped and his crooked fingers froze in midair.


    In the ward, ye zhi coincidentally sat beside gu mohan''s bed, stroking his cheek and crying.


    Through the door, yi chen couldn''t hear what ye zhiqiao said, but he could see her lips opening and closing constantly, sometimes stopping to wipe her tears.


    There was a look of pity, emotion, remorse, and worry on her face. This time, gu mohan''s behavior touched her deeply again.


    Yi chen lowered his head in disappointment, not knowing what to think.


    He was the first person to know that ye zhiqiao had come to a city, and also the first person to look for her. In order to find her, he even threatened yi shaozhi with jumping off a building. These two days and nights, he did not close his eyes, his car was filled with oil twice, in this small city unfamiliar streets, time and time again, he even thought about it, at the moment he saw ye zhiqiao, he must hold her tightly in his arms, tell her that since gu mohan does not cherish you, then he will cherish it easily dusted.


    But in the end, it still backfired. He took all the opportunities and finally found ye zhiqiao, but it was gu mohan.


    The person ye zhiqiao thanked was gu mohan, and the one who couldn''t let go was also gu mohan. All he did was like a clown, only touching himself.


    Just a few steps away, ye zhiqiao held gu mohan in her arms, crying and begging him to wake up quickly, telling him the anxiety and nervousness in her heart.


    What about his dustiness?

 Chapter 158 Su Yanbai Complained

    Su yanbai came to the hospital with a large bag of fruits and nutrition. Today, she deliberately rejected her friend''s invitation and got up early in the morning to choose clothes and makeup, just to create a good image in front of gu mohan.


    She came to gu mohan''s ward with familiarity. After knocking on the door for a long time, she did not get a response. Finally, she pushed it away impatiently and saw the scene in front of her.


    Where are they?!


    The sheets and pillows on the bed were neatly placed there, and the table was empty. There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, as if it had just been disinfected, and the whole room looked empty.


    Su yanbai took a step back and checked the door again. That''s right, it''s this one!


    At this time, a nurse walked past her and saw her staring blankly at the room. She asked, "Are you looking for someone?"


    Su yanbai turned around, "Yes, does gu mohan live here? Where did he go?"


    The nurse thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Oh! You''re talking about the patient who had surgery on his left rib after the car accident. He was discharged yesterday."


    "What? Discharged?!" Su yanbai asked incredulously. Never heard of leaving the hospital the day after the operation.


    "Yes... He was discharged, but he ran out on his own. I don''t know what''s important. He ran twice! The first time, the knife broke open. Our doctor had just taken care of him and he ran out in less than 20 minutes. The nurse didn''t stop him."


    If the blade breaks open, you still want to go out?


    Su yanbai thought about it carefully and made sure that she had never heard of any urgent matters at gu Mohan''s home or company. Even if there were, no one dared to bother him at this time.


    She couldn''t think of a reason, so she called her friend to check it out.


    There was a circle among them. The news that jian mengqi had been frantically searching for someone for a day and a night had already spread. Not long after, the reply phone rang.


    "Yan yan, I found out. Gu mohan seems to have gone to look for ye zhiqiao, the woman he confessed to and yi chen proposed to."


    "Looking for her? What happened to her?!" Su yanbai asked angrily.


    "I don''t know the details. I left by myself anyway. No one told me. Jian mengqi, yi chen, and gu Mohan, who you like, are all crazy."


    Su yanbai pinched the phone and threw it on the bed.


    It''s ye zhiqiao again! She was completely convinced by this woman, as if she could do nothing but stir up trouble! Gu mohan was injured because of her. Now that she didn''t honestly admit her mistake and blame herself, she started to make trouble again and ran away? Don''t come back if you can!


    And gu mohan, why can''t you tell who''s real and who''s fake? I don''t know what he likes about ye zhiqiao. I haven''t had enough trouble for him. I was injured and ran out!


    Su yanbai sat on the bed with her arms in her arms. The more she thought about it, the more she hated it.


    All the preparations she had made today were in vain. No one had seen her, no one had said anything, and she had heard such an infuriating piece of news. Hmph! Gu mohan''s mother told her to take care of gu mohan.


    As she cursed and cursed, a good idea came to her mind.


    Gu mohan''s mother seemed to despise ye zhiqiao. If she knew about this, what would she... Do?


    Su yanbai secretly rejoiced, feeling that this method was simply too perfect. Not only did it expose ye zhiqiao''s face in front of mother gu, but gu mohan could not blame it on himself. Moreover, mother gu''s love for her would definitely go up a new level.


    She picked up her phone in a good mood and called mother gu.


    Half an hour later, su yanbai''s car stopped in front of the gu family mansion.


    Mother gu was very happy to know that su yanbai was coming. She had the maid prepare the drinks and desserts early.


    Su yanbai immediately turned into a good girl in front of her mother. She took her mother''s hand and sat down on the sofa.


    "Come on, yanyan, try this butter juice and see how it tastes? It''s specially made for you."


    Su yanbai paused, nodded and took a sip. "It''s delicious, thank you, auntie."


    Su yanbai kept her head down from the moment she entered the room. Now she looked up and saw that something was wrong. She pulled her and asked, "Why are your eyes so red? Have you ever cried?"


    Su yanbai turned her head away in panic, as if she didn''t want to be seen, but her tears fell.


    "Auntie, I''m sorry. I don''t want you to worry."


    "Why are you crying so well? Tell auntie if you need anything. Did Mohan bully you?"


    "No, no!" Su yanbai waved her hand and sobbed, "He didn''t bully me. It was me... I didn''t do a good job. I didn''t finish the task you gave me."


    Seeing mother gu''s blank expression, su yanbai sighed in her heart and said directly, "Brother gu is gone. I didn''t take good care of him. It''s my fault."


    "Gone?" Mother gu was even more confused.


    Su yanbai sniffed, took the tissue from the servant, and sobbed, "Brother gu was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He had just finished his operation. The doctor told him to stay in bed, but he had to go out. The wound burst and bled a lot, but he refused to listen."


    She pounced on her mother and said nervously, "I''m really afraid that something will happen to brother gu. His knife is so deep and big that it hurts to think about it."


    After hearing this, mother gu couldn''t sit still. She pulled su yanbai up and said with a serious face, "What the hell is going on? Yan yan, tell auntie from beginning to end. Why would he run out with injuries?"


    "This... This..." Su yanbai hesitated. Mother gu waited impatiently and urged her again, "It seems... It''s because of ye zhiqiao."


    Ye zhiqiao?


    Mother gu thought about the name and quickly matched it with the woman she met in the hospital. For some reason, she couldn''t like the woman when she saw her. Besides, Mohan was in a car accident because of that woman, and she hated her more and more.


    "Because of what? She told Mohan to go out?!" There was a tinge of disgust in Mrs. Gu''s tone.


    Su yanbai was overjoyed, but there was fear on her face, "That''s not because... Auntie, I didn''t dare to say it, just because I told you in the hospital that brother gu was in a car accident because of ye zhiqiao. After you left, brother gu didn''t give me a good look. I''m afraid..."


    Mother gu''s face darkened, "Don''t be afraid. Auntie will support you. Just say it."


    "It seems that brother gu went to look for her because ye zhiqiao lost her temper and ran away."

 Chapter 159 Let Ye Guojun Retire as Soon as Possible

    Su yanbai sat upright and hesitated, "In fact, it''s not good for me to say these things to you without permission because of my current relationship with brother gu, but I''m really worried about brother gu. Ye zhi coincidentally... Sometimes it''s a little too much."


    As soon as mother gu heard that there was something about ye zhiqiao, she got angry and said, "Don''t worry, no one dares to blame you!"


    That''s what I was waiting for.


    "This time, for example, brother gu was seriously injured. I was afraid that you were worried that I didn''t tell you before. He was still unconscious for a long time. When I went to see him during this time, he was lying alone in the icu. It was heartbreaking to see him. But what about ye zhiqiao? Just because she sprained her foot, she was lying comfortably in the ward. Brother gu had just finished his operation, and before the anesthetic was over, ye zhiqiao and her friend arranged the two of them in a ward in a hurry. Ye zhiqiao had eaten, but she didn''t even look at brother gu."


    The more Mrs. Gu listened, the deeper her brows furrowed. She snorted and said, "It''s really not a good thing!"


    "Not only that, there''s more. Just because I said a few words for brother gu, that friend of ye zhiqiao was going to come up and hit me, and I think if she wasn''t afraid of being discovered by brother gu, she would have rushed over too."


    "Ai-" su yanbai sighed and said wrongly, "In fact, as long as brother gu is well, I can endure these things, but ye zhiqiao really went too far this time. Knowing that brother gu can''t walk, she must do something to force him, so he had to endure the pain and run out of the hospital."


    Mother gu''s teeth were itching. She put the cup on the table and said hatefully, "She''s a curse! Yan yan, do you know where Mohan is now?"


    Su yanbai did not know, but said she could help find it.


    "Then auntie will thank you first."


    While they were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang. The servant ran to open the door and saw the calm looking father gu come in.


    Su yanbai hurriedly got up and greeted him. Gu fu responded and continued to walk upstairs with a dark face.


    The rest of them could see that he was in a bad mood. Su yanbai said goodbye, but mother gu did not leave her. She only told her to pay more attention to gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    After su yanbai left, mother gu went upstairs and entered father gu''s study.


    "What''s wrong, old gu? Are you so angry?" Mother gu asked.


    Since gu mohan took over most of the power of the company a few years ago, his father had started to shake hands with him. The bad temper of those years in charge of the company had changed a lot, and the appearance of shaking face in front of the younger generation had never appeared before.


    Father gu threw a document on the table and said in a deep voice, "Look at what your son has done! He wasn''t in the company for a few days in a row. If something happened, the people below couldn''t find him. The company was in a mess! Gu shi had been working with a big client for five years. Just because he wasn''t around these days, he canceled his order, and the duck in his mouth flew away. Do you know how much gu shi lost?!"


    Mother gu didn''t know much about business, but she knew that her father would never be so angry in a small business.


    "Is there no way to save it?"


    "Hmph! Redeem? You''ve been a family before!" Father gu swept the teacup that was in the way and said angrily, "Not only this order, but also the internal capital chain of the gu family has problems. Every department has big and small problems that need to be solved. I just handed the company to your precious son for a few years. I praised him for his ability a few years ago, but now I have slapped myself in the face!"


    Father gu took a few deep breaths and suddenly asked, "By the way, where is he? Where the hell did he go?!"


    "He was injured in the hospital before, but now..." Mother gu told her about what happened before and after gu mohan''s car accident.


    After listening to this, father gu pondered for a while and asked, "Who is ye zhiqiao? What does it have to do with Mohan?"


    "It looks like it''s from the company. I don''t know exactly what to do."


    Father gu nodded and called the personnel manager of the company.


    "Manager li, is there a person named ye zhiqiao in the company?"


    Ye zhiqiao is a famous person in the company. Manager li replied without thinking, "Yes, she is a designer who has just been hired. She also took over gu''s mengxing group before, but it seems that she is still on vacation."


    "How did she get in?" Father gu asked.


    "It was hired by master gu himself. Her work has a good reputation and is internationally recognized."


    "Is the situation at home clear?"


    Manager li was a little surprised, then said, "I don''t know about that, but it shouldn''t be some rich daughter. I''ve never heard her mention it."


    Father gu put down the phone, looked out the window and thought quietly.


    The person hired by gu mohan had no family background and was only a small and famous designer, which could not provide any substantial help to gu''s future development.


    How could such a woman fall into gu mohan''s eyes? It seems that his son is still too young. What should he do and what shouldn''t he do seems to have not been taken into consideration in his heart.


    At the same time, gu mohan finally woke up in city a, 900 kilometers away. He didn''t know the company was in a state of turmoil, but only saw the woman lying by his bed.


    He looked at her sleeping face carefully for a while, then got out of bed lightly and went to the bathroom in the ward to make a phone call.


    In the morning, when ye zhi happened to have a checkup, he told his assistant to investigate the previous car accident. Looking at the time, it should be clear now.


    The assistant was very efficient and immediately returned to the city upon receiving gu mohan''s orders. Now that she had just come out of the women''s detention center, she said as she walked to the car, "President gu, we have found out that the accident between you and miss ye was not an accident, but miss ye''s sister, ye yiyu, did it on purpose."


    "Her? Isn''t she locked up?" Gu mohan asked.


    "Yes, but she was released a few days ago. The day she drove to attack you was the first day she came out. I went to the accident site and found the security guards. They looked at the photos and said that ye yiyu was the woman sitting in the black crowd."


    Gu mo laughed coldly, "She''s really persistent. She''s in a hurry to die."


    The assistant asked, "Mr. Gu, do you need to hand over the evidence to the police? Intentional injury as soon as she got out of prison was enough for her to stay inside for a few years."


    "No need." Gu mohan looked in the mirror and smiled, "I''ll send you a proposal later. Just follow it."


    "Are you going to..."


    "Let ye guojun retire as soon as possible."

 Chapter 160 The Child That Gu Mohan Took Away

    Two days later, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao returned home with little treasure. Because they were worried about the progress of acquiring ye''s shares, gu mohan did not rest and came to the company without stopping.


    The assistant waited in the office early in the morning. When she saw him come in, she immediately turned around and handed him the prepared report.


    Gu mohan walked over to the chair and sat down. He raised his hand and said, "Sit down, too. How''s your work?" As he asked, he flipped through the report in his hand.


    Instead of sitting down, the assistant bowed and said, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn''t do a good job."


    "Oh?" Gu mohan''s brows furrowed slightly because he had also seen the progress of the report on the plan. It was not only bad, it was simply terrible.


    His plan was to buy ye''s shares in the early stages, preferably from the hands of a large shareholder or in addition to the scattered shares, at least 30 % to 40 %, but the report showed that gu''s acquisition of ye''s shares only lasted one day, and the acquisition share held up to only 5 %. There was still a constant loss in these two days.


    It was naturally impossible to purchase shares blatantly and wantonly. This kind of operation was very difficult and required the manager to have enough brains and experience, but since he handed this matter over to the assistant, he believed in the ability of the assistant.


    "What happened?" Although gu mohan was angry, he did not doubt his assistant. He needed to know the reason.


    The assistant lowered his head and replied, "This is indeed my negligence. After receiving your instructions, I used your private account in the company to operate, but I ignored the current situation of the company. During your stay in the hospital, the company lost a large sum of money, and there were some problems with the company''s internal funds and personnel. The gu company can no longer support the ye company''s acquisition plan, but when I found out, it was too late."


    "There''s such a big problem with the gu family. Why didn''t anyone inform me? And..." Gu mohan asked with a serious expression, "I wasn''t there, and I didn''t inform you?"


    The assistant also found it strange, nodded and said, "Yes, I am investigating this matter."


    "You mean, someone did it on purpose?" Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and asked.


    "I''m not sure, but it''s doubtful."


    The assistant did not dare to make it sound too absolute, but gu mohan had a plan in his heart.


    Outside the door, the man in a suit who had stayed for a long time looked around, walked quickly to the bathroom in the distance, and made a phone call.


    "Master gu, I have already figured out what you ordered. It is indeed master gu''s order that master gu''s assistant attempt to acquire ye''s company, and it does not seem to have been made public."


    "Hmph! I knew it must have been this punk. Why would he target the ye family in this situation?"


    The man in the suit recalled the conversation he had just heard and then said, "President gu doesn''t seem to know about the company''s current crisis. It seems that he had already made a decision to buy ye shi."


    "What? The decision you made before?" Father gu thought to himself: although ye shi had enjoyed a good time before, the development in recent years was far beyond the reach of gu shi. The number of subsidiaries gu shi had acquired was quite large, and there was no need to pay attention to ye shi. What was gu mohan''s purpose in making such a decision?


    If it wasn''t for a commercial confrontation, there would be only one reason: personal grudges.


    Father gu continued to say to the other end of the phone, "Go and investigate the reason why gu mohan dealt with the ye family. You must give me an answer tonight."


    After that, he took the lead in closing the line.


    Although master gu was second in line, the power in his hands was still not to be underestimated. The man in a suit did not dare to delay and immediately launched an investigation. He did not wait for the time set by master gu to arrive at the gu mansion in the afternoon.


    It was just before dusk, and large clouds of fire were rolling towards the center of the sky. Gu father was sitting in a wooden rocking chair, holding a teapot in the garden of the villa to taste tea. His eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.


    Hearing the sound of someone walking in, he took a sip of tea and asked, "Did you find out?"


    The man in the suit stood behind him, standing very straight, with his head slightly lowered. He replied respectfully, "I found out. Mr. Gu did deal with the ye family because of his personal relationship."


    Father gu gave a faint "Yes." Motioned him to continue.


    "President gu is doing this for a woman named ye zhiqiao. She is the designer of the gu family and the president of the mengxing group. However, she hasn''t come to work recently, but it is said that she has been with president gu."


    This gu father knew that his mother had already told him. "How close is their relationship?" Father gu asked.


    The man in the suit pondered awkwardly, as if he was thinking about his words, "It should be a couple, but not all of them. President gu had previously confessed to ye zhiqiao, but the woman didn''t respond, but... They were taking care of a child together."


    "Child?!" Father gu put down the teapot in surprise and stood up and asked, "Whose child?"


    "It''s ye zhiqiao''s. Five years ago, ye zhiqiao was pregnant, but she had a car accident before her due date and the baby was born prematurely. That child was brought back by president gu."


    Father gu was even more confused, "Why did he take ye zhiqiao''s child away?"


    "This..." The man in the suit shook his head, "I haven''t found out about this yet. After all, it was five years ago. There were very few people who knew about it at that time, and ye zhiqiao left the country later. Apart from a few people involved, there was almost no way to verify it at that time."


    Father gu then asked, "That child has always been by gu mohan''s side?"


    "... I heard so." The man in the suit was a little surprised. Did master gu not know if master gu had any children around him?


    "Well, that''s it for now. You can keep up with this and report any new discoveries to me."


    "Yes." The man in the suit agreed.


    Father gu put his hands behind his back and looked up at the burning sky. The fiery red light reflected on his wrinkled face, making the meaning even more difficult to understand.


    After a long time, when the man in the suit thought he should leave, father gu said again, "In the future, you should walk around gu Mohan more. He only has one trusted assistant. It is not possible."


    The man in the suit was flattered, "I understand."


    "Yes, the gu family will hold a family banquet in three days. I''ll leave this matter to you to inform your boss. Remember to tell him to be there this time. His uncle gu yanlin has returned home."


    "Yes."

 Chapter 161 A Family Banquet with Open Arms and Hidden Arrows

    Three days later, the gu family mansion.


    The gu family mansion covers a large area. The main building of the villa and the pool in the garden add up to about 1,500 square meters. On the day of the banquet, all of them are decorated. There are lights everywhere, long tables with famous wines and desserts, and professional sound and lighting technicians are employed to create the atmosphere.


    The gu family was the first to make a living by doing business. Since gu Mohan''s grandfather, business had become stronger and stronger. Although only gu mohan''s family had the best career development and appeared most frequently in the media, the rest of their relatives were also prominent figures in the business world.


    However, during the occasional family gathering, it was natural for everyone to choose this location.


    The banquet officially began at 6 pm, and most of the guests would arrive early to promote the relationship business at the family banquet, but it was the best choice.


    Gu mohan also returned home early at the request of his father. As soon as he entered the house, he was surrounded by a large number of relatives, asking about future cooperation, or caring about his marriage. This was why he did not like to participate in such activities before.


    Just as he was about to show his usual polite way of dealing with it, a loud laugh suddenly came from afar.


    The crowd consciously made way for a path, and a man in a suit walked over.


    The man was tall, and although his hair was combed too rigidly and could be seen shining traces of wax under the light, his hard and handsome features were exactly like gu mohan''s father''s.


    His face had a flamboyant but not annoying smile that perfectly matched what gu mohan remembered.


    Gu mohan nodded slightly and said politely, "Uncle, you''re back."


    Gu yanlin was not as reserved as he was. He patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Did you just know? You don''t care much about this uncle of mine. Have you become the president and I can''t even get into your eyes?"


    If someone close to him said that, gu mohan would probably laugh or say a few words of self-deprecation, but he knew exactly what kind of person gu yanlin was. In order to get more from his grandfather when he split up, gu yanlin did everything he could. Fortunately, although his grandfather was old, he had a clear mind and was not taken away by gu yanlin in the end.


    Still expressionless, gu mohan moved his shoulders to avoid gu yanlin''s palm and said calmly, "Uncle came back to this city a month ago, but he never told father. I thought you had your own ideas, so I didn''t dare to disturb your arrangement."


    His gaze fell on gu yanlin''s eyes, and gu yanlin looked back at him with the corners of his mouth curled up.


    After a while, gu yanlin looked away and laughed a few times, "My nephew is getting better at handling things! Hahaha..."


    The people around them also chimed in, as if they did not see the tension between the two of them.


    Gu mohan glanced at her and did not respond. Instead, he said, "It''s already 5: 40."


    After that, without looking at the crowd, he lifted his legs and walked towards the banquet hall.


    The dining table for the banquet was long oval and could seat around twenty people. The dishes of various sizes could be placed in fifty rows.


    This is the tradition of the gu family. When holding a banquet, the family must sit around and eat together, so as to show their blood is thicker than water.


    Even this kind of kinship, in the face of financial interests, was already in jeopardy.


    Father gu was the oldest in the room. He sat in the main seat while mother gu sat on the right. The left seat had always been gu mohan''s, but today, in order to show respect for his elders, he gave the seat to gu yanlin.


    Gu yanlin smiled but did not give in.


    "Come, let''s all raise our glasses to celebrate the growth of the gu family and thank master gu for bringing all the gu family together!"


    No one knew who was the son of a filial piety, the whole table raised their glasses, although they could not touch the cup sitting on the seat, but still with an excited smile, they drank up the wine in one gulp.


    Gu mohan smiled and took a sip. Before the glass was put back on the table, gu yanlin, who was diagonally opposite him, said to him, "Isn''t this wine to your taste? My good nephew doesn''t seem to like it very much."


    Gu mohan glanced at him and said, "Not bad."


    "What''s okay?" Master gu said, "This is the wine your uncle brought back from abroad. It''s a world famous winery."


    Gu mohan was already used to gu yanlin''s speech trap, but because of his father''s words, he could only say apologetically, "I''m sorry, I really have no accomplishments in the appreciation of red wine. Everyone laughed at me."


    "Haha -" gu yanlin laughed a few more times, waved his hand and said, "It doesn''t matter. It''s not an important ability, even if it doesn''t hurt."


    The people at the table took the three''s words as a joke to adjust the atmosphere and agreed.


    Just as the scene was "Joyous," gu yanlin suddenly changed the subject and said, "This wine tasting is not important, but managing the company should be the ability that the person in charge of the gu family must possess, right?"


    In a word, the table returned to a dead silence.


    Gu mohan looked at him and said nothing.


    Gu yanlin continued, "As far as I know, gu''s recent situation seems to be very bad. The internal capital chain is chaotic. The stock price rises and falls at times, which is generally lower than the average level of the previous quarter. I even heard that a customer who has been working with gu for about seven years actually withdrew his investment after signing the letter of intent. President gu... Can tell the relatives here, What the hell is going on?"


    His gaze fell on gu mohan like a wolf searching for its prey.


    Gu mohan knew that it would be bad for him to come back this time, but he had just learned that he had arrived a month earlier. He had not prepared for any possible accidents, so he was caught off guard.


    After a few turns of thought, he decided to kick the ball back first, "My uncle has been abroad all year round. He knows the situation of the gu family very well. It''s just that this is an internal problem of the gu family. Uncle, what do you mean by that?"


    Gu yanlin slammed the cup on the table and grinned, "Wise people don''t talk in secret! I didn''t approve of it when my eldest brother passed it to you, and it''s not surprising that this is happening now. So what I mean is, if you let the gu family be destroyed in your hands, you might as well hand it over to someone more capable!"


    Gu mohan looked at him with deep eyes, "Who is the more capable person?"


    "Me!" Gu yanlin said loudly.

 Chapter 162 The Yi and Su Families

    Good news travels fast without leaving the house, and news of problems within the gu family somehow reaches yi shaozhi''s ears.


    He had not recovered from his previous failure to deal with the gu family for a long time. Now that the gu family had a problem, it was a godsend opportunity. If he could seize the gu family while it was weak, no one in the business world would be able to compete with the Yi''s in the future.


    But even though the gu crisis had a solid foundation, swallowing a fat man in one gulp might actually kill him. Yi shaozhi maintained his most basic calm thinking while he was excited. After analyzing in many ways, he finally decided to seek cooperation outside.


    Yi shaozhi thought for a long time about the person who could be on the same level as the Yi''s and might have the intention to destroy the gu family. In the end, a figure appeared in his mind.


    "Ding-dong - ding-dong -"


    It was the day of rest, and it was rare for su yanbai not to go out and have fun. She studied business knowledge at home under the supervision of her brother su pan. When the doorbell rang, she took the opportunity to escape su pan''s clutches and came to open the door.


    The surprise on her face was obvious when she saw yi shaozhi outside the door.


    "Why are you here?" She asked.


    Yi shaozhi lifted his chin inside, "Won''t you invite me in?"


    Su yanbai took a step back to let him in, then asked, "Are you looking for my brother? He''s upstairs. I can help you..."


    "I don''t know your brother." Yi shaozhi interrupted her and said, "I''m here to see you."


    Su yanbai was stunned, "Looking for me?... And come to my house? We''re not that close, are we?" As she spoke, she thought of something and paused for a moment before continuing, "If it was the last time you took me to the hospital, I would thank you very much, but between us..."


    "Miss su, don''t get me wrong. I just came here today to talk to you about something. There''s no harm in it. There''s no need to rush out of the relationship." Yi shaozhi explained with a proper smile.


    "Who misunderstood?" Su yanbai muttered in a low voice and then asked, "Then what are you going to talk about?"


    Yi shaozhi glanced around, "Can I find a study or something? I wish I could talk to you alone."


    "Okay."


    Su yanbai took him to the study on the first floor. The maid brought him tea and closed the door. They sat opposite each other on the sofa.


    Yi shaozhi said first, "Gu mohan is back from city a, do you know?"


    "... Su yanbai glanced at him, not sure if he did it on purpose. Gu mohan came back a few days ago and brought ye zhiqiao back with him. She had heard about it long ago because she had been holding her breath and had not gone to look for gu mohan.


    Yi shaozhi took a good look at her reaction, smiled and said, "I see. Do you know about the crisis at the gu family?"


    Su yanbai also heard something about it, "Yes. What are you trying to say? Don''t ask questions. Just say it."


    Yi shaozhi crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the sofa, "Gu, Yi''s, su, and the three companies grew up almost at the same time, but as time went on, maybe it was the lack of managers, maybe it was the lack of luck. Only gu was far ahead. Although from the inside of the three companies, I never felt like losing to gu, but my father or your father, I think we all know that the difference is not the slightest bit."


    He sipped his tea and continued, "The same is true of the outside world. There are even many media outlets that have made comments about the gu family''s dominance in the same industry. For these, I believe that the su family and the Yi''s are equally dissatisfied."


    Su yanbai thought about it carefully. It seemed that her father and brother had discussed many times that the growing gu family might endanger the su family.


    "What do you mean by that?" Su yanbai asked.


    Yi shaozhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss su is a smart person. I have already made myself clear." He leaned forward and approached su yanbai, saying slowly, "If you want to let go of your past shame, now is the best time."


    "You want to attack gu?!"


    Yi shaozhi put his index finger on his lips, made a "Shh" gesture and whispered, "Keep your voice down. This kind of big thing can''t be known by outsiders."


    Su yan bai paused and asked, "Then why did you tell me?"


    "Am I not clear enough?" Yi shaozhi licked his lips, "I want to work with you. The Yi''s and the su family have a better chance of winning, don''t they?"


    Working with her?


    Su yanbai was even more puzzled, "Why are you cooperating with me? I''ve never been involved in anything in the company, and I don''t understand any business methods. How did you..."


    "You can learn to do things you don''t know. Your status as miss su is unique. Furthermore, as far as miss su and my personal relationship is concerned, I am willing to cooperate with you and give you the benefits after success."


    Yi shaozhi''s tone was sincere, and his eyes, which fell on su yanbai''s face without any concealment, were also extremely sincere.


    Her fingers unconsciously twisted the ears of wheat by the sofa cover, and she quickly thought about the pros and cons.


    The su family and the Yi''s teamed up to deal with the weak gu family, and the two families split evenly. It sounded like they were in much better shape than they were now.


    Father and brother also did not want to continue to live under the oppression of the gu family. They believed that the su family should be the most glorious one, not the one who was forced to live under the gu family.


    But what are the chances of success? Perhaps she could immediately give an answer when she asked yi shaozhi, but how reliable was the answer? Can she tell?


    The answer, of course, was no.


    She''s not smart, but she''s definitely not stupid. There was a hint of this when he thought about it.


    And gu mohan, even if she was angry at gu mohan for not knowing what to do, she would never help anyone to harm him.


    Thinking of this, su yanbai raised her head, looked at yi shaozhi generously, and said word by word, "I''m sorry, I can''t agree with what you just said."


    Yi shaozhi was stunned for a moment. He thought that su yanbai might refuse, but he didn''t expect her to refuse so quickly.


    "Why not? Have you forgotten gu mohan''s attitude towards you? Or is there anything that you don''t like about my proposal? If so, you can come up with it, and we''ll..."


    "Yi shaozhi." Su yanbai looked at him coldly, "You don''t have to worry about what happened between gu mohan and me. As for your proposal, I said no, and I said no. There''s no need to say more."


    She stood up and walked to the door, "I have something to do. I won''t see you off."

 Chapter 163 Happy Cooperation

    Yi Shaozhi was very dissatisfied with su yanbai''s tough send-off. Su yanbai''s attitude surprised him. He had even made a preliminary plan before he came, but he didn''t expect to be rejected directly.


    He walked out of the su family and was about to return to his car when a white car parked opposite suddenly honked. He followed the sound and saw su pan sitting in the car.


    Su pan honked again. The invitation was obvious.


    Yi shaozhi walked over, sat in the passenger seat and asked, "What did young master su want me to do?"


    Su pan smiled gently and said, "To be precise, it''s always yi who has something to do with me."


    "Yi mou can''t understand that."


    Su pan looked at her villa and smiled, "Sorry, I overheard yi and yan yan''s conversation."


    Yi Shaozhi''s face immediately darkened and his tone was unfriendly, "So, what do you want?"


    "Cooperation." Su pan spat out two words.


    Yi Shaozhi couldn''t believe what he heard and asked again, "Cooperation?"


    Su pan nodded, "That''s right. Yan yan rejected president yi. I''m very interested. I don''t know if president yi would like to come."


    If he could work with su pan, the chances of success would definitely increase exponentially, but Yi Shaozhi chose su yan bai for a reason.


    First, gu mohan had made su yanbai feel wronged. He felt that su yanbai''s character would definitely want revenge.


    Secondly, su yanbai had never set foot in the business world, and she was not clear about many of the methods involved. Even if she had paid more during the cooperation process and given less to her after the success, she probably would not have known.


    And the third point...


    Yi Shaozhi looked deeply at su pan and asked, "As far as I know, young master su and gu mohan are friends. If you don''t help your friends, you''ll help me instead. Isn''t that a little..."


    "Heh -" su pan chuckled and said, "Yi should know more about things in the mall than I do. Relatives and friends are just interests. Just like you said to yan yan, the gu family has dominated the industry for many years, and it is clear that all three companies have developed side by side. One of them has earned a lot of good reputation, and the other has opened one branch after another. Anyone who has some ideals and revenge should not be willing to give in to others."


    "So young master su really cooperated?"


    Su pan nodded, "Sincerely."


    Yi Shaozhi nodded and thought to himself, "What su pan said just now is indeed beyond doubt. Moreover, in the current situation, there is no reason why he should not be tempted to break up the powerful interests that gu family can get. Although it may take a little brain and energy to cooperate with su pan, it doesn''t matter if the benefits are less. It''s better than nothing."


    At this thought, Yi Shaozhi finally smiled. He reached out his hand and said, "In that case, may we have a good cooperation?"


    Su pan shook his hand back and smiled gently, "Happy cooperation."


    Just as the two of them had reached a partnership, su yanbai on the other side became more and more uneasy. She always felt that although she rejected Yi Shaozhi''s idea, yi shaozhi would not give up on the idea of destroying gu. If he found someone else to cooperate with, wouldn''t gu Mohan still be in danger?


    With this in mind, she decided to give gu mohan a reminder.


    Hearing that gu mohan had just returned from city a, she thought that gu mohan must still be resting at home at this time, so she drove directly to gu mohan''s villa.


    It was aunt Li who opened the door. She didn''t know su yanbai very well. When she heard that she was looking for gu mohan, she said tactfully, "The young master is not here. He won''t be back for a while. If you have anything important to do, you should call him."


    "Where did he go?" Su yanbai asked.


    "Meeting at the company..."


    "Grandma li, who''s here?!" Little treasure was watching cartoons in the living room when he heard grandma li talking at the door and asked curiously.


    Ye zhiqiao, who was sitting next to her, was also curious. Gu mohan''s family seldom visited. Except for jian mengqi, who occasionally brought Qin Baiye around, almost no one else came over. At this time, aunt Li had been talking to the person for a long time, and he was obviously a stranger.


    Only to see that little treasure had already put on his slippers and was about to run over, ye zhiqiao also got up.


    Su yanbai had never been to gu mohan''s house before and did not know that he had a child. When she suddenly heard the child''s voice, she was stunned for a moment and looked at the source of the voice.


    Little treasure took ye zhiqiao''s hand and ran out.


    Between their eyes, su yanbai and ye zhiqiao looked at each other with their eyes wide open.


    Su yanbai took a few steps inside, stood in front of ye zhiqiao, looked back and forth at her home clothes and the pair of slippers with the child beside her, pointed at her and asked, "You live here? You actually live at brother gu''s house?!"


    She was so shocked that she asked twice in a row.


    Ye zhiqiao did live here, but her relationship with gu mohan could not be explained in a few words. While she was sorting out her words, su yanbai had already taken her reaction as a default.


    "You are so skillful! Ye zhiqiao!" Su yanbai looked at ye zhiqiao and pointed at the little treasure holding ye zhiqiao''s sleeve." Is this your child?" She asked."


    Before ye zhiqiao could answer, she had already snorted and said to herself, "It''s not enough for you to pester brother gu yourself. You even brought a bottle of oil with you. How shameless are you?!"


    Seeing ye zhiqiao and xiao bao wearing parent-child shoes, she subconsciously thought that xiao bao was ye zhiqiao''s child and did not give ye zhiqiao a chance to explain.


    In addition, little treasure was already frightened by the sudden appearance of the aunt, her small hands tightly holding ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao comforted her, and there was no time to explain to su yanbai.


    Su yan bai''s face turned red and white in anger. She had previously felt threatened by ye zhiqiao''s existence, but now it was completely gone. Now she was completely disgusted and resentful towards this woman in front of her!


    "Ye zhiqiao, I''m talking to you. Do you hear me? Can you have some pride and shame? Go to whoever you have a child with. Don''t look at brother gu and try to get benefits from him.!"


    "It''s not what you think..."


    "What''s that like?!" Ye zhiqiao said half of what she said and was blocked again. Su yanbai said fiercely, "No wonder aunt gu didn''t like you the first time she saw you. You deserve it. You won''t do anything but trouble brother gu. Just wait and see how I deal with you!"


    After putting down the harsh words, su yanbai angrily left the villa.

 Chapter 164 Su Yanbai Kidnapped Little Treasure

    "Ahhh! Ahhh!!! Damn ye zhiqiao!"


    On the way back, su yanbai was furious at the sight of gu mohan''s house, but the angrier she got, the more she couldn''t help but think about it. The more she thought about it, the more she hated ye zhiqiao.


    She slammed on the brakes, pulled over and took out her phone to make a call.


    "Hey! Do something for me... There''s a child in gu mohan''s family, a girl of four or five years old, who tied her up for me... What a crime! I''m not really kidnapping, I just want to vent my anger on brother gu... All right, let''s do it!"


    Putting down the phone, she looked at the distance and snorted coldly. Her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened and her bones turned white.


    "Ye zhiqiao, let''s see if money is important to you or children!"


    Ye zhiqiao was reading a book in her room when she suddenly felt a sudden movement in her heart and a sudden stop in her heart.


    But that feeling was fleeting, and she didn''t care.


    Just now, after su yanbai left, little treasure did not recover from the shock for a long time. Aunt Li was afraid that she was really scared, so he suggested that he take her to the neighbor''s house to see the dog. Only then did she smile.


    Because ye zhiqiao had just experienced too many things recently, and her body had not recovered, she stayed at home to rest.


    Ye zhi happened to read for a while, and felt a little tired so she was ready to sleep, but at this time, aunt Li suddenly ran back.


    She was in a hurry and almost tripped at the door. Ye zhiqiao was startled and hurriedly got out of bed to help her, only to hear her panting and rushing, "Miss ye, no good! Little treasure is gone!"


    "What?!" Ye zhiqiao frowned and pulled aunt Li tightly, "What happened? Didn''t you go to your neighbor''s house to play?"


    "Yes... Yes, I went to play, right in the yard... But I didn''t pay attention to one of them... The child... The child..."


    "Bell - bell -"


    Ye zhiqiao''s cell phone suddenly rang. She rushed over and picked it up in a hurry. Opposite her was a man''s voice: "Ye zhiqiao?"


    "It''s me, you are..."


    "Your daughter is in my hands, and within two hours she will bring three million dollars to the abandoned warehouse in the north of the city. You can do it yourself."


    "That little treasure... Hello? Hello?!!!"


    Before she could speak, the man had already hung up the phone.


    Ye zhi coincidentally clicked on the release in a hurry. Aunt Li also heard the contents of the phone. She trembled like a sieve and asked, "Miss ye, should we call the police? Little treasure... It''s all my fault. I''m useless!"


    The more times like this, the less you can mess yourself up.


    Ye zhiqiao forced herself to calm down, closed her eyes and quietly recalled what happened. She always felt that things were a little strange. Su yanbai had just left before little treasure was kidnapped. Could this be related?


    And the man who called just now said something very strange, the general purpose of kidnappers are very clear, but before the man said the amount of money, he actually paused for a second or so, as if he was thinking about something, he did not even mention that family members are not allowed to call the police, if it is a kidnapper, then the kidnapper is too unprofessional.


    However, even if there were many loopholes, ye zhiqiao could not joke about the safety of little treasure''s life. The disappearance of little treasure was real, and the extortion call was real. She had to go to that warehouse.


    "Aunt Li." Ye zhiqiao patted aunt Li on the shoulder and said quickly but clearly, "Don''t worry. I''ll take the money right away. You stay at home and don''t call the police. Contact gu mohan first. He will have an idea then."


    After that, ye zhiqiao finally ran out with her cell phone when she saw that although aunt Li was still pale with fear, she had already understood what she meant by nodding her head repeatedly.


    She drove to the bank first, because she was a vip user, it was not difficult to withdraw two million dollars in cash, and she quickly drove with the money to the location the kidnappers said on the phone.


    The north of the city belonged to the suburbs, which were almost undeveloped, but there was only one abandoned warehouse. When ye zhiqiao was a child, it was a famous factory, but after more than ten years, it was already empty.


    There was a car parked in front of the warehouse. Ye zhiqiao looked familiar. When she went in with the money bag, she finally understood why she looked familiar.


    "Is it really you?" Although she had long suspected it, she still couldn''t believe it when she saw it with her own eyes.


    Su yanbai sneered and said, "Is it strange? When you did something bad, you should have known that you would be punished one day!"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. She saw little treasure sitting on the broken sofa next to su yanbai. Although her mouth was covered with tape, her eyes were still full of life. She was relieved and asked su yanbai, "What bad thing have I done? Well, even if I didn''t do well, why would you put a child in a difficult position?"


    "All right, you! Don''t be hypocritical."


    Su yanbai patted little treasure on the face and said with a sneer, "If it weren''t for your own child, would you have rushed over in such a hurry? Che, now this is to me with affection? It''s no use telling you!"


    She looked at the purse on ye zhi''s hand and raised her eyebrows, "I want the money, but you should know that I don''t lack it."


    "So?" Ye zhiqiao asked.


    Su yanbai curled her lips and said slowly, "Leave brother gu and move out of his villa with your dead child and never see him again! Otherwise, your daughter... I''ll tie her up again, but next time, it won''t be as simple as giving money."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and said, "The money can be left to you, but your request... You didn''t give me the opportunity to explain in the villa just now. In fact, this child is not mine, but your brother gu''s child, so I can go. This child probably can''t, and if your brother gu knows that you treat his child like this, he will really hate you."


    "Is she brother gu''s child?"


    "Yes."


    Su yanbai stared at little treasure for a long time and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha... Hahaha... Ye zhiqiao, do you think I''m a fool? I don''t know if brother gu has any children. I''ll believe whatever you say with your empty mouth."


    "Well, this is not brother gu''s child. Then I will take good care of her and see if brother gu will or you will!!" Before he could finish speaking, su yanbai''s slap had already landed on xiao bao''s face.


    "No!"


    It was too late for ye zhiqiao to stop it. The adults beat the child without any effort. Ye zhiqiao watched as little treasure''s head was violently slapped to one side, and then made a heart-rending cry.

 Chapter 165 Dealing with the Su Family

    Ye zhiqiao had just said that xiao bao was gu mohan''s daughter, and her intention was to make su yanbai realize that what she had done would make gu mohan hate her. However, she did not expect su yanbai to believe it at all. Instead, she mistook it for a lie that ye zhiqiao had made up to save her daughter, and in a fit of anger, she actually attacked xiao bao.


    "Su yanbai!" Ye zhiqiao raised her hand to signal her to calm down, "You don''t believe what I said, but don''t hit the child. I promise to leave gu mohan and never see him again!"


    Su yanbai tilted her mouth and smiled sarcastically, "I knew you wouldn''t be able to hold on for long and still wanted to lie to me..."


    As she was speaking, she suddenly stopped and looked straight behind ye zhiqiao, as if she had seen a ghost.


    Ye zhiqiao followed her gaze and looked back, only to see gu mohan''s gloomy face, and he was walking rapidly towards this side.


    Both women were stunned on the spot, and even little treasure, who was crying on the sofa, forgot to cry.


    Gu mohan clenched his fists and walked past ye zhiqiao without any reaction. Instead, he walked straight to su yanbai.


    "Gu..."


    "Snap!"


    After being slapped, half of su yanbai''s face went numb and she said in disbelief, "Brother gu..."


    "Snap!!"


    Gu mohan slapped her again, this time with all his strength, knocking her to the ground.


    After that, gu mohan did not look at her anymore. He walked to little treasure, tore the tape off her mouth, untied the rope on her body, and then called ye zhiqiao, who was still in a daze, to leave the warehouse.


    This time, he was really angered. Little treasure was the baby that he put on his palm and hurt. He was also a girl who was weak and sickly since childhood. Usually, he couldn''t even speak loudly to little treasure. But today, that ignorant su yanbai dared to kidnap little treasure and hit her!


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the angry gu mohan and did not dare to talk to him. She only hugged little treasure to comfort him along the way.


    Then, gu mohan took them to the hospital, handed little treasure to the attending doctor, and said to ye zhiqiao, "You take care of little treasure here. I''ll go out and do something. I''ll be back soon."


    "What are you going to do?" Ye zhiqiao held him back. He looked terrible just now. Although gu mohan usually spoke coldly and sarcastically, she had never seen him do anything to a woman before. She was afraid that he would be agitated and do something out of line.


    Gu mohan glanced at little treasure who was being examined from the window on the door, gritted his teeth and said, "Su yanbai touched little treasure and must pay the price!"


    "But... What do you want to do? She''s done the wrong thing. Even if you''re angry and anxious, you can''t be like her..."


    "What do you think I''m going to do?" Looking at ye zhiqiao''s nervous appearance, as if he was about to rush over to kill someone, gu mohan almost laughed in anger, nodded her forehead and said, "I just want to teach her a lesson. As for the method, it definitely won''t involve himself. Don''t worry, will I, like someone, agree to someone''s request and say something to leave me forever when threatened?"


    The first half of these words were indeed comforting ye zhiqiao, but the second half was deliberately infuriating.


    At that time, what else could ye zhiqiao do if she didn''t agree? Little treasure was gu mohan''s child, and su yanbai hated her so much, so she definitely couldn''t rush forward as recklessly as gu mohan.


    However, since gu mohan was still in the mood to joke, he should have basically regained his senses, and ye zhiqiao could also let him leave with ease.


    Gu mohan said goodbye to ye zhiqiao and drove directly to the su family, but he did not come to look for su yanbai, but to look for su pan.


    He and su pan were friends. Although they didn''t know each other very well, they had occasional contacts at work. It was common for them to have dinner together. For what he was going to do next, for the sake of his friends, he decided to inform su pan first.


    After su pan and Yi Shaozhi finished talking, he returned home and never left. He was only temporarily united with yi shaozhi in dealing with the gu family. After that, he still needed to consider the pros and cons.


    Seeing gu Mohan suddenly come to him, he was slightly shocked.


    "Mohan, why do you suddenly remember my home? Without informing me beforehand, a friend gave me two bottles of red wine the other day. If I had known you were coming, I would have asked the maid to prepare dinner." Su pan''s tone was still polite and familiar.


    Gu mohan''s expression improved a little, but he still waved his hand and refused, "You''re welcome. I came here to tell you something."


    "Business or personal?" Su pan asked.


    "Both." Gu mohan glanced upstairs and asked, "Your sister hasn''t returned yet?"


    Su pan was stunned, "No, why are you asking about her? Did she cause you trouble again?"


    Trouble?


    Gu mo snorted coldly, "Your sister has a lot of tricks. It''s a little too polite to say she''s causing trouble."


    "That''s..."


    "Okay." Gu mohan did not let him ask any more questions, but said directly, "I came here to inform you that from now on, my gu and su are no longer partners. I will gather the strength of the entire company to deal with su. Based on our past friendship, I have given you the time and opportunity to prepare, but after that, I will not be soft-hearted!"


    "!!!"


    The usual gentle smile on su pan''s face finally died down. He frowned and didn''t ask, "What''s going on? You have to give me a reason. Su shi and gu shi have always been good friends. All of a sudden... Gu mohan, I can''t accept it."


    "Reason? Go ask your sister. She knows more than I do."


    After saying that, gu mohan turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly there was a strong voice coming from upstairs.


    "Mohan, make it clear."


    The two men downstairs looked up together and saw that father su was walking down the stairs at a brisk pace. He looked a little breathless, as if he was breathing.


    He walked over to gu mohan and said, "I heard what you said just now. You said you wanted to deal with the su family, but do you know that since your father and I were in this generation, the su family and the gu family have been business partners. How many opponents have we defeated together? Now because of your whim, we are going to destroy this good relationship?"


    He shook his head, "Don''t say I don''t agree. Go home and ask your father if he agrees."


    Gu mohan nodded and said, "Uncle su, you are an elder. It''s not appropriate to say some things in front of you. But now I am in charge of the gu family. It''s up to me to decide whether to cooperate or not."

 Chapter 166 Make an Engagement

    Father su choked, but he was not angry. Instead, he patted gu mohan on the shoulder and said, "It''s good for young people to have a temper and be aggressive, but this kind of sharpness should be directed at outsiders. There are many internal and external connections between our families. You''re still young, so you don''t know."


    "... Gu mohan was noncommittal to his words.


    Father su pondered for a while and said, "Well, this weekend I''ll ask xiao pan to arrange a family dinner and invite your parents over. What can we discuss at the banquet?"


    Father su was an elder after all. If gu mohan did not agree to such a humble invitation, he would be flattered. He could only nod his head and agree, "Then I''ll trouble you. I''ll inform my parents when I get back."


    "But..." He looked at su pan and reminded him, "What I told you just now is still on the table."


    Then he politely nodded to father su and left.


    After he left, father su shook his head with a smile and moved his shoulders as he said to su pan, "Don''t worry. That thing he said won''t work. The rookie kid thought the world was his own, but he didn''t know that even sun wukong couldn''t fly out of Buddha''s five fingers mountain."


    Three days later, sunday.


    The family dinner arranged by the su family was at night. Gu mohan was dressed formally and arrived by car around 4 pm.


    There were many relatives in the su family, but today they came in contact with many of them, many of whom had worked with the gu family, so gu mohan spent half a day in the living room after he entered the door, only to find an opportunity to go upstairs.


    Father su and su pan were in the study. When they heard that it was gu mohan, they invited him in.


    Father su stood up and looked behind gu Mohan, asking, "Can your parents come in time?"


    Two days ago, when he heard that su''s father was having a family dinner, gu mohan''s father immediately called to apologize, saying that he was really sorry. On the day of the banquet, he and gu''s mother were flying abroad to attend a charity party, so it was probably too late.


    Father su was about to change the time of the family banquet, but father gu refused, because the other guests had been notified, because the two of them messed up everyone''s arrangements and felt bad.


    He also told father su that they would try their best to make the early flight back. If it was really too late, the things to be announced at the family banquet could be as usual. There was no need to change, so father su agreed.


    Gu mohan closed the door and walked in, nodding and saying, "Sorry uncle, the charity party ended too late. My father said he would invite you to dinner another day to make amends."


    "Oh, it''s okay. Your parents are busy. I know that." Father su waved his hand and said, "By the way, yan yan was looking for you just now. Did you see her when you came over?"


    Gu mohan was filled with anger when he heard the name su yanbai. He shook his head and said, "No, there are a lot of people in the living room. I..."


    "Dad-"


    Before gu mohan could finish his sentence, the door of the study was pushed open with a "Bang." Then su yanbai rushed in, sprawled on father su''s desk and complained, "That daughter of my uncle''s is really annoying. She''s ugly. She''s wearing a red dress. She talks coquettishly. It''s disgusting as much as it is!"


    Father su smiled awkwardly and pointed behind her, "No rules. It''s a joke."


    Only then did su yanbai realize that there was someone else in the study. When she saw gu mohan, she immediately got up from the table and tidied up her skirts. "You... Brother gu... You... You... You''re here?" She asked helplessly."


    Gu mohan had not looked at her since she entered the door, so he had no right to hear her say hello.


    Su pan knew that there was a conflict between the two and wanted to give them a chance to mediate, so she said to father su, "Dad, I just heard that uncle wang has arrived. Let me go down with you and say hello."


    Father su was such a shrewd man. Seeing this, he agreed and left the study with su pan.


    There were only gu mohan and su yanbai left in the study. Gu mohan had no desire to reconcile with her, so he turned around and prepared to go out.


    "Brother gu!"


    Su yanbai hurriedly stopped him, ran to him and tried to grab his arm. Her hand was raised in midair but suddenly froze.


    Because gu mohan''s eyes were so cold and terrifying, he did not speak and just looked at you quietly, which was enough to make people scared.


    Su yanbai lowered her voice subconsciously and said, "Brother gu, I''m sorry. Everything that happened three days ago was my fault. Can you forgive me? I was really angry to see that woman living in your house, so I couldn''t help it... I couldn''t help it..."


    "Kidnapping?" Gu mohan asked with a faint anger, "So I can''t help but kidnap and poison a five-year-old child, can I?"


    "Brother gu..."


    Gu mo laughed coldly, "Oh, miss su has such a temper. How dare I accept your apology!"


    After that, gu mohan lifted his leg and left without giving su yanbai another chance to speak.


    After that, gu mohan kept his distance from su yanbai until the banquet began and the two sat together again.


    The seat was arranged by su''s father. Although gu mohan made a definite rejection, he still insisted on doing so and said mysteriously that they would know the intention in a while.


    Father su walked back to the main seat, and after his opening speech, he began to talk about the purpose of today''s banquet.


    He cleared his throat and said in a neutral voice, "Everyone knows that the su family and the gu family have been friends for generations. From the generation of old gu and I, we have been partners and friends. Fortunately, the son of dog su pan and the son of old gu, Mohan, are also very good friends."


    "Remember it was more than 30 years ago..." Father su turned his head to the left, his eyes frozen in mid-air, as if recalling: "At that time, we had just married, and also said that if the child was a man and a woman, we must book a child marriage for them. The two of us will be relatives, and we will be more intimate!"


    As soon as this was said, all the guests present began to laugh.


    Gu mohan kept his expression in check. He always felt that father su''s words had a deeper meaning.


    Father su raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued, "But as you can see, our first children are all boys. This has made our elder brothers very worried, but fortunately, I have a daughter, yan yan."


    Su yanbai''s heart stirred and she turned to look at gu mohan. Obviously, she had guessed what her father was going to say next.


    Gu mohan''s face was already very ugly. His jaw was tight and his eyes were heavy.


    Father su glanced at the two of them sitting next to each other and said, "I think you have already guessed that twenty years ago, the year yan yan was born, we made a marriage agreement for the two children!"

 Chapter 167 I Dont Agree to the Engagement

    "And this engagement still counts up to now." Father su raised his hand and made a gesture in the direction of gu mohan, explaining, "Originally, old gu was going to announce this news with me today, but unfortunately, he and his wife were going abroad temporarily, so I had to come alone. Please don''t be offended."


    Of course, no one would be surprised. As soon as father su''s words fell, cheers were heard all around him.


    He responded one by one, his face creased with laughter and he looked genuinely happy.


    "Uncle." Gu mohan walked up to him and whispered, "Can you come out for a while? I have something to say to you alone."


    Gu mohan was as expressionless as ever, but anyone with a bit of skill could tell that he was holding back his displeasure. Almost instantly, the entire banquet hall fell silent.


    Father su was a little embarrassed. He didn''t tell gu mohan about this in advance, but he didn''t want to give him the chance to refuse. He knew that gu mohan and su yanbai were unhappy before, but it was only a small matter after all. The marriage between the su and gu families was enough to shake up the business world.


    But judging from Mohan''s current performance, he was a little uncertain.


    If gu mohan really firmly refused, his face would not be said, and the entire su family would be humiliated. Perhaps some people would speculate about the relationship between the su family and gu family, which might affect the stock of the su family.


    In a blink of an eye, father su''s mind had already turned a thousand times. He calmed down his emotions and smiled twice. He said to gu Mohan, "There are outsiders here now. What''s the matter? Let''s talk about it later."


    He wanted to keep gu mohan in check, but gu Mohan didn''t like him.


    "Uncle su, if you don''t want to talk alone, I''ll just say it here."


    Father su turned his head and stared at him.


    Gu mohan said word by word, "I didn''t know about the engagement you just announced. You said my parents knew, but they didn''t tell me either."


    "This is a decision made by our elders. Xiao pan and yan yan don''t know either. It''s normal." Father su said solemnly.


    Gu mohan did not say yes or no, but frowned and said, "It''s okay to ignore whether it''s normal or not, but I don''t agree to the engagement."


    "But I disagree with the engagement." As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.


    In the midst of whispers, father su''s face darkened and he lowered his voice to warn him, "Mohan, don''t be willful. Even if you don''t give me face, don''t you want gu''s face? And your father, does he know you''re doing this?"


    "He doesn''t need to know, because even if he does, he can''t stop me." Gu mohan said seriously, "I, gu mohan, did not know that I had made an engagement with su yanbai before. Although there is no way to verify the authenticity of the engagement now, even if there is, right now, I officially announce that the engagement is annulled."


    Father su slapped the table and said with a frown, "It was arranged by the parents. Didn''t you say it would be lifted immediately?! Whether you say it or not, I want to talk to your father personally!!"


    Gu mohan raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "I don''t think that''s necessary. I already have a wife and child. Am I going to risk bigamy and marry another woman who doesn''t feel anything at all? Surely uncle won''t agree?"


    "You... You... You said... What?!" Father su widened his eyes in shock and pointed at gu mohan for a long time before he uttered a complete sentence.


    "You... Are married?!"


    Gu mohan did not marry ye zhiqiao, but in his heart ye zhiqiao was already his wife, not to mention, they had their own children.


    He smiled and nodded.


    Father su took a long time to catch his breath. With a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table in front of him to the ground and said in a broken, crisp voice, "Your gu family... Really... Is too much of a bully!"


    Concealing gu mohan''s marriage, he publicly rejected his daughter and embarrassed him. Either one of them stabbed father su''s life.


    "Okay! Okay!! We can''t afford to climb the gu family! The su family won''t stick to you anymore!" Father su pointed at gu mohan and said sternly, "From now on, the su family and the gu family have severed all business and personal relations. Everyone present can testify that the su and gu families are strangers!!"


    With the sound of father su''s drink, the scene suddenly seemed to be at a standstill. The air was slowly moving around, and everyone had their own thoughts.


    Gu mohan did not respond to father su''s words, but silently turned around and walked out of the banquet hall with his back straight.


    That night, father and mother gu came back from abroad and knew about it as soon as possible.


    Father gu was so angry that he had high blood pressure that he called gu mohan home overnight for an explanation.


    Gu mohan was working overtime at the company. His mood was also affected by what happened at the banquet. His tone was a little stiff, "I have nothing to explain. It''s just what you heard."


    "What did I hear? Do you know what I heard?!" Father gu pointed at his nose and said loudly, "You made a scene at the su family''s banquet. You rejected the su family''s daughter in public and broke up with the su family!"


    He gasped and asked word by word, "Say, did you do this?!"


    Gu mohan nodded and replied calmly, "I did it."


    "Why are you?! Don''t you know my relationship with old su? Don''t you know how much cooperation gu and su have? Do you know how much the gu family will lose if you say a few words in anger at the banquet today?!"


    "I know. But I wasn''t just angry, I was telling the truth."


    "The truth?" Father gu chuckled and said, "I really didn''t expect you to grow up with hard wings. Even if you lie, your face won''t change and your heart won''t beat! You said you were married. Who did you marry? Who is your wife and child?!"


    Hearing this, gu mohan raised his eyelids and said faintly, "Don''t you already know about my wife and children?"


    Father gu secretly investigated ye zhiqiao and little treasure, and sent people to monitor the matter around him, he had long been aware, not to mention, because the other party was his father, he did not want to make the old man unable to come down, he did not want to make the relationship between father and son rigid.


    Father gu was a little surprised that he knew about this, but the awkwardness was fleeting. Then he sat down on the sofa and took a sip of tea. That kid... Is his name little treasure?"


    "Yes, gu ruoxi. My nickname is little treasure."


    Father gu sighed and said slowly, "Bring that child back to me sometime."

 Chapter 168 Shes Not Ye Yiyu

    Bai zixuan parked his car downstairs, got out of the car, looked around, and then walked quickly into the hospital.


    The second room on the top floor was the man''s ward.


    The other party had been waiting for him for a long time, and the packed luggage had been placed on the ground by the wall. A travel bag was all she had.


    Seeing bai zixuan come in, she asked angrily, "Why are you here? The nurse has been here several times. I don''t know what a great hospital it is. Will someone come in as soon as I leave?!"


    Seeing that her young lady''s temper had risen again, bai zixuan quickly explained, "When I come, I must be careful whether there is anyone following behind. It''s very troublesome, so it will be slower."


    "Come on, look at how timid you are. Do you look like a man?!"


    Upon hearing this, bai zixuan''s face darkened and he asked, "Aren''t you afraid of them?"


    "... The woman looked up at him, her short, ear-piercing hair naturally moving back to her head, and the dark brown pupils under her european eyelids reflected a faint halo.


    She was a beautiful woman, no matter how she looked at it, but in her enchanting beauty, there was an indescribable hostility.


    After a long time, she looked away and stood up, "Let''s go."


    Bai zixuan helped her take her travel bag and walked out of the ward with her.


    Outside the hospital, bai zixuan''s car was parked in the most inconspicuous corner.


    The woman glanced at the dark and hidden corner, then stopped and looked up at the large gold-painted words above the hospital gate.


    Bomei plastic hospital.


    The hospital''s slogan was also engraved on the side, "Bomei plastic surgery, a place that changes your fate."


    "Heh -"


    The woman suddenly chuckled. She thought that no normal person would believe such a cliche, but she had to.


    The sun shone brightly above her head, and for a moment, she closed her eyes, thinking back to the afternoon with the same scorching sun.


    Chaos, noise, fear, hopelessness.


    "Hurry up, hurry up, it''s right in front!"


    "The crowd just reported that it was in the woods to the east."


    "That''s right, but I might have heard the siren of a police car. It''s already here."


    "Captain, you said that such a woman can really run. How long have we caught her? It''s been almost a week, and we haven''t caught her yet."


    "That''s true, but ye yiyu is not an ordinary woman. She bumped into people twice in a row. If the security guards hadn''t seen her, she would have bumped into them again if she hadn''t died!"


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this woman is really scary..."


    As the two policemen spoke further and further away, ye yiyu, who was huddled under the operating table, finally dared to take a quiet breath. If she did not breathe, she would probably suffocate to death.


    She slowly crawled out from under the operating table and looked around a few times. Seeing that no police had passed, she sat down on the ground and patted her chest to catch her breath.


    Scared to death, really scared to death.


    Ever since she was wanted by the police for intentionally injuring someone, all her assets have been under control. She can''t go home, go abroad, or even leave the city.


    She had been hiding for five or six days. At first, she had some money on her, so she could stay in a cheap hotel without an id card or buy a bread and milk belly, but as time went on, she was penniless.


    She could not afford to stay in a hotel and was chased out. She could not take a bath without staying at the hotel. She also had to avoid any police, security guards, even taxi drivers and enthusiastic citizens in the city. Within a few days, her body smelled of stench. Her dark clothes and pants were full of holes, and the soles of a pair of famous running shoes were worn thin.


    This image was even more eye-catching. She dared not stay in the bustling area, so she took advantage of the night to run to the outskirts. When she was tired at night, she found a pier or a corner to sleep, and continued to run during the day.


    She was caught and chased because she was so hungry that she stole instant noodles from a passerby''s car, but she was caught and corrected because she was slow. The owner of the car recognized her as a fugitive wanted by the police. She called the police and called the police. She bit the man hard and barely escaped.


    Now she was hiding in an abandoned factory full of dust and rubbish, but it was nothing to her face, which had long been indistinguishable from color.


    "Ye yi language?" !!!


    Someone was calling her name!


    Ye yiyu''s first reaction was to retreat under the operating machine, but the other party was faster than her. The moment she bent down, she had already pressed her shoulder from behind.


    "Yi yu, it''s me."


    She shrank her neck and mechanically turned her head. The man''s back was facing the sun, revealing a dark silhouette. The moment her eyes touched the man''s face, her tears fell.


    "Woo - woo -" she didn''t dare to make a sound, so she covered her mouth and cried.


    Bai zixuan turned her body around, as if he wanted to hug her, but when he saw her dirty and smelled a sour smell mixed with sweat and garbage, he immediately gave up on the idea and even let go of the hand that was pressing on her shoulder, unconsciously taking two steps back.


    "How did you... Do this?" Bai zixuan frowned and asked with some disgust.


    Ye yiyu saw his reaction clearly, and the excitement of seeing his acquaintances faded by half, and the crying stopped gradually.


    She wiped her face, and her muddy face became even more lively. Then she chuckled and said, "You''re wanted. That''s it. It''s not easy for you to see me here."


    Bai zixuan spread his hands and tilted his head, "At that time... What were you thinking? As soon as I came out..."


    "Can you not talk about the past?!" He only said one sentence, and ye yiyu''s mood suddenly became agitated.


    It was normal for her not to want to hear about the things that caused her to look like this, but...


    "Not to mention, has your current situation changed?"


    "Can I just mention it?!" Ye yiyu asked back.


    Bai zixuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I don''t know if I can. I just don''t think the ye yi language I know should be like this."


    He looked out the window at the dazzling sun and said slowly, "Ye yiyu is the most beloved daughter of the ye family. She has been held in her hands since she was a child. In all the banquets, the dress she wears will always be the most beautiful. Of all the girls, she will always be the most beautiful and dazzling. That confident and proud girl who will never admit defeat is ye yiyu."


    He turned to look at her and continued, "It stinks and scares the world. People cry and hide like rats, only those who shrink their necks and cover their faces and cry, no."

 Chapter 169 Identity and Face

    Bai zixuan stood in front of ye yiyu and asked word by word, "Who caused you to become like this?"


    Ye yiyu was stunned, then gritted his teeth and replied with a fierce look, "Ye, zhi, qiao."


    "Do you hate her?"


    "Hate, I can''t wait for her to die right away!"


    "Then... If there''s a chance to get back at her, are you willing to do it?"


    "Of course!"


    "Okay!" Bai zixuan said solemnly, "Now I can give you this opportunity." !!!


    Ye yiyu opened his eyes in disbelief and asked tentatively, "What did you say? Give me a chance?"


    Bai zixuan nodded and asked, "Otherwise, why do you think I took such a big risk to come to see you? Is it just to see how miserable you are now?"


    "No... That''s not what I meant..."


    Hearing that bai zixuan was willing to help her, ye yiyu''s attitude immediately became a little respectful and asked with a low brow, "But I am now... The police are chasing after me very closely, and even if you can bring me to ye zhiqiao''s side, I will really kill her, but the situation will not change..."


    One of the two shortcomings of ye yiyu was her bad temper and the other was her lack of brain. Bai zixuan finally saw it again today.


    He sighed speechlessly and then explained, "It''s not asking you to kill people, it''s using more intelligent methods."


    In ye yiyu''s dazed eyes, he took out his wallet, took out his id card from inside, raised it in front of ye yiyu, and said slowly, "There''s only one reason you were chased by the police, because you are ye yiyu. But if you are not ye yiyu, you can naturally walk on the street openly. When the time comes, how do you want to retaliate against ye zhiqiao, isn''t it up to you?"


    "And you only need to make two changes to become another person, identity and face."


    Identity and face...


    Ye yiyu agreed to bai zixuan''s proposal and, with his help, performed a full face plastic surgery in a plastic hospital. The original almond eyes turned into european style, the delicate and small nose was raised, and the lips became plump from the original thin two pieces...


    Similar to ye zhiqiao in appearance, in a short period of time, has undergone earth-shaking changes. She is no longer ye yi language, but another person - gu chengyan.


    Bai zixuan also managed to get the identity information. Activities such as leaving the country may be dangerous, but there is a large degree of freedom to act in the country.


    After slowly removing the white gauze from her face, she got gu chengyan''s identity card.


    She once thought that her life had been decided since she was born. Her parents, friends, status and status would follow her through the rest of her life, so when she knew that she was wanted, she felt that there was no hope in her life, but it turned out that life could come back.


    Now she, as if she had been reborn for the rest of her life, could start over again. She would return to ye zhiqiao from a god''s perspective, because at that time, she knew everything about ye zhiqiao, but ye zhiqiao would never know who she was.


    Gu chengyan slowly opened his eyes. The afternoon sun had warmed her whole body. The smell in the air was fresh and refreshing, but also free.


    Yes, she smelled freedom.


    Bai zixuan waited for her for a long time before he smiled and asked, "How is it? Isn''t it nice to bask in the sun?"


    "Oh, indeed... Long time no see."


    Gu chengyan rubbed his stiff neck as he looked up at the sky for a long time, then asked, "When can I come to ye zhiqiao''s side?"


    After the recovery period of the operation was over, gu chengyan was allowed to go to ye zhiqiao''s side, which was something the two had already agreed on.


    Bai zixuan fiddled with the phone for a while, then raised his chin to signal her to look at it.


    "Ye zhiqiao has recently returned to work at mengxing group and is recruiting assistants. The recruitment information has been sent to your email. Take a closer look at it later. I filled out all the information for you, but you have to memorize it."


    Gu chengyan nodded and said, "It''s the same as what you taught me."


    During her recovery period after surgery, bai zixuan told her all about gu chengyan''s past experiences, as well as the reactions she should not have in the face of her former acquaintances, all of which carefully reminded her that she was studying very seriously for the sake of her freedom this time.


    "The interview is tomorrow?" Gu chengyan asked.


    "Yes, you will be able to deal with it as naturally as any other candidate. With your previous experience in the design world, it''s certainly not difficult to apply for a small assistant." As he spoke, bai zixuan turned to look at her, "Also, don''t be afraid or nervous. Trust me, this face of yours doesn''t even recognize me, let alone someone who doesn''t know the truth."


    Gu chengyan nodded. She had died once. There was nothing to be afraid of.


    The car started slowly, and the streets outside the window gradually became familiar. She closed her eyes to recharge for the battle behind her.


    The next day.


    Gu chengyan, dressed in a business suit, came to the building with his resume in his hand.


    Ye zhiqiao started the recruitment under the name of mengxing group, but she also had a partnership with jian mengqi''s studio. With the help of gu''s company, the number of applicants was very spectacular.


    According to the order of the strokes of her surname, she was in the front seat and was called by her name before noon.


    The moment she was called, her body tensed up, her fingers involuntarily tightened, and even her facial expression was uncontrollable.


    Calm down, calm down, calm down.


    She reminded herself in her heart: no one can recognize you, gu chengyan. You are gu chengyan. Your face is something that no one in the room has ever seen. It''s a completely different face...


    "Gu chengyan -" the successor''s secretary asked again, "Is gu chengyan here? If not, the next one is..."


    "Yes! Yes!!"


    Gu chengyan quickly raised his hand, stood up and trotted in with the secretary.


    In the conference room for recruitment, ye zhiqiao sat in the middle, with two managers on each side.


    Seeing gu chengyan enter, the hr manager on the left said, "Sit down. Please start introducing yourself."


    Gu chengyan recited the script that bai zixuan had prepared, and the two managers opposite him all showed approval.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao suddenly asked, "Did you study abroad?"


    "... Yes." In the face of ye zhiqiao, gu chengyan was subconsciously a little nervous, this person who in his dreams could not wait to tear up, now sat in front of her, in a victorious posture, occupying an absolute advantage.


    But be calm, she told herself, be calm.

 Chapter 170 Jian Mengqis Assistant

    "How''s your english?" Ye zhiqiao asked again. After that, she began to talk to gu chengyan in english.


    Within two rounds, gu chengyan was defeated.


    When she was still in ye yi language, although she had been abroad a few times and stayed abroad for a period of time, with her laziness, she had never spoken a proper foreign language at all. Although bai zixuan had been tutoring her for several days during her stay in the hospital, in front of ye zhiqiao, who had five years of experience living abroad and worked hard,


    She broke almost instantly.


    After checking her english, ye zhiqiao shook her head in disappointment and said apologetically, "You are excellent in other aspects. In fact, when you sent your resume to mengxing group email, you became our focus. But as my assistant, I usually have a lot of opportunities to talk to foreign clients. To tell you the truth, my current assistant, Xiao Man, has lived overseas since she was a child and is proficient in the five languages. Although I can''t ask everyone to be like her, I still have to keep my basic english up to date."


    Does that mean pass is going to kill her?


    Gu chengyan''s fingers unconsciously clenched the fabric on his skirt and said anxiously, "In terms of english, I am a little rusty because I haven''t used it for a long time. As long as I have some time, I can pick it up very quickly."


    Ye zhiqiao still shook her head, but suddenly remembered something and said to her with a hint of discussion, "Although I don''t have a suitable position for you, I can arrange for you to be the assistant of another person. I wonder if you would like to?"


    "Others?"


    "That''s right." Ye zhiqiao leaned forward and handed her a file, then explained, "This is my good friend, jian mengqi. She is also very famous in the circle. She just needs an assistant. And one of the most important projects that gu''s been working with us recently is that she''s in full charge, and it''s a good learning opportunity for her."


    Jian mengqi?


    Gu chengyan carefully searched the name in his mind, and then remembered that this jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao were really good friends. She had helped ye zhiqiao a lot when ye zhiqiao returned home.


    It seemed that there was no hope to stay by ye zhiqiao''s side, so he had to settle down first by jian mengqi''s side. At least, it was better to have a relationship with ye zhiqiao than to have nothing to do with it.


    Thinking of this, gu chengyan smiled professionally, nodded and agreed, "Of course it would be great if you could. I would also like to trouble president ye to introduce me."


    Ye zhiqiao did as she said and personally brought gu chengyan to jian mengqi''s office that afternoon to recommend her to jian mengqi.


    Jian mengqi did not have any special requirements for assistants. She could just share some extra work. Besides, gu chengyan was very good at flattering her, so jian mengqi made up her mind and left her behind.


    As soon as the assistant''s work was over and it was almost autumn, ye zhiqiao began to work on the next season''s series design.


    Because she had to take care of xiao bao, she decided to work at gu mohan''s villa.


    However, although gu shi and jian mengqi would not pressure her on either side, she would not let go of herself.


    She spent the rest of her time in her room, except for taking care of little treasure''s three meals a day. At first, aunt Li wanted to clean her up on time every day, but in the end, he gave up on the idea. Because ye zhiqiao had very little rest time, sometimes she didn''t sleep until one o'' clock at night, and most of the time she only took a short rest in the morning.


    She was so irresponsible to her own body, and sure enough, after another all-night creative session, she couldn''t help fainting while feeding little treasure.


    When she heard that she fainted, her good friend and partner, jian mengqi, rushed over immediately.


    Hearing that gu mohan had just left, jian mengqi patted the quilt on ye zhiqiao''s body and said, "Tell me if you are heartless. A rich man like gu mohan is always courting you behind your butt. What else do you want? Just bring little treasure to eat and play."


    Although ye zhiqiao woke up, her body was still weak and her voice was weak, "I didn''t do it for you? How heartless."


    "Don''t say that!" Jian mengqi was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth. Then she looked at the door guiltily and complained to her in a low voice, "I dare not say that. If my beloved wife, Mohan, hears this, she will skin me. In fact, I don''t care about skinning. The main thing is that my fashion designer next season can''t let him confiscate it for me."


    Ye zhi coincidentally laughed speechless. Can she still be confiscated as a living person?


    She widened jian mengqi''s heart, "We signed the contract seriously. He didn''t dare to be protected by the law. Besides, can I leave your design behind?"


    "Although your words make me sound happy, I don''t mean to rush you. Gu mohan and I are rarely on the same side for your health problems. If you can''t guarantee a 100 % recovery, even if you rush to design for me, I don''t want it!"


    Looking at jian mengqi''s resolute face, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but chuckle and ask, "Have you made an agreement with gu mohan? He just came here to give me some training, and he said the same thing as you did. He''s not going to get well or work."


    Jian mengqi glared at her, "Are you going to listen to me or not?"


    "Be obedient." Ye zhi coincidentally sighed and said rather helplessly, "My body seems to be a little weak. I can''t hold it up after staying up for several nights. Your design is almost finished. There''s no need to rush. So I''ll be in the hospital. You can rest assured."


    Jian mengqi was very satisfied with her attitude this time, and then asked, "Then who will take care of you? Gu mohan had to work. Shouldn''t he? Will aunt Li come?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and explained, "Little treasure also needs to be taken care of. Aunt Li has to stay at home."


    "What about xiao man?"


    "Neither can she. I have to rely on her when I''m not in the company." Ye zhiqiao smiled bitterly and said, "I can take care of myself. It''s not that I can''t move. It''s okay."


    Jian mengqi said without thinking, "No! I can''t be at ease with no one around me. Why don''t you let my assistant come over? Gu chengyan, whom you introduced me to, seems to be doing a good job, and I''m not busy here lately."


    "That''s not good..."


    "There''s nothing wrong with that. It''s settled!"

 Chapter 171 Ye Zhiqiao Was Pregnant

    The next morning, gu chengyan followed jian mengqi''s instructions to the hospital.


    When ye zhiqiao saw that she was really coming over, she immediately became embarrassed, "Actually, I don''t need special care here. You should go back to work, or if mengqi isn''t busy, I''ll tell mengqi that she can give you a few days off."


    To be close to ye zhiqiao''s side, gu chengyan could not wait to leave.


    "President ye, you must not say that. You are weak and sick. You are all working for president jian. It is reasonable that I should be here to take care of you."


    In fact, ye zhiqiao did not like others to flatter her so deliberately, but gu chengyan was jian mengqi''s person after all, and she ran all the way over with good intentions. She refuted the kindness of others, and it was really unreasonable, so she said politely, "Then thank you. I think you are about my age, so don''t be so polite to me in the future. You can just call me by my name."


    "How dare you?" Gu chengyan forced a smile and then said, "I''ll prepare breakfast for you. You can rest for a while."


    With that, she turned and left the ward with quick steps.


    When she came to the corridor, she leaned against the wall and calmed down for a long time. If she had stayed a minute longer, she felt that she would never be able to disguise herself again.


    A person who hated her to the bone was right in front of her, but she could not get rid of it immediately.


    However, bai zixuan said many times that he could not deal with ye zhiqiao with the barbaric methods he used before, but to find a way not to break the law, or even if he broke the law, he would not be caught.


    For someone who had suffered a loss in this area, gu chengyan knew he was right, but it was too difficult to suppress the hatred in his heart and pretend to admire and respect him on the surface.


    As they were fighting, two people suddenly came to the other end of the corridor. Gu chengyan looked carefully at them and found that they were acquaintances.


    The other party noticed her, smiled and said, "Miss... Miss gu?"


    Presumably forgetting her name, she introduced herself, "Gu chengyan." Then he greeted politely, "Hello, manager zhang."


    Manager zhang was the hr manager sitting on the left of ye zhiqiao during the recruitment. He looked around the sick room of gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao in confusion and asked, "Are you visiting president ye too?"


    Gu chengyan had long seen the assistant with him carrying a lot of nutrition. He thought he was visiting ye zhiqiao, so he explained, "No, I am now the assistant with president jian mengqi. You know how good their relationship is. She didn''t have time, so she sent me to take care of president ye."


    "Oh!" Manager zhang suddenly realized and then asked, "How is president ye now? Is it convenient for me to visit him?"


    The executives in these companies had long lived to be smart, slick, and always had something to say.


    It was inconvenient for him to ask, but he just wanted to find out what kind of disease ye zhiqiao was suffering from. With ye zhiqiao''s current status, if it was serious, it might have an impact on mengxing group''s stock, as well as the personnel changes within the company, which would cause a wave. If he could predict in advance, it would give him the opportunity to take the lead in the next changes.


    Gu chengyan had asked about ye zhiqiao''s illness before he came. In fact, nothing serious happened. It was just a sudden fainting and malnutrition caused by overwork and physical overdraft. As long as he had a good rest, he could recover quickly.


    But since someone had asked specifically, if she didn''t write about it, she would have been sorry for the difficult opportunity.


    But what should I say?


    Gu chengyan pondered for a while in his mind, and an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She was happy in her heart, but a trace of sadness immediately appeared on her face. Her lips opened and closed several times, making a look of wanting to speak but stopping.


    As soon as manager zhang saw her like this, he said something must be going on inside, so he quickly said, "What''s wrong? Is president ye in a bad situation? Little gu, don''t worry about anything. Just tell me what you want to say."


    "But... This kind of thing... As I said, I was afraid that Mr. Ye and Mr. Jian would blame me for talking too much." She looked up at manager zhang and pleaded, "I told you, you can''t tell anyone, okay?"


    "You can rest assured, gu. When you first came to the company, I thought you were a good candidate. I think your future is limitless, so it''s bad for your development. If you shouldn''t say anything, I won''t say a word." Manager zhang quickly promised.


    Gu chengyan let out a breath and finally frowned and whispered, "There''s nothing wrong with president ye''s body. It''s just that the reason for her fainting this time... The reason for her fainting is... Because... She''s pregnant..."


    "Ah?!" Manager zhang was shocked.


    This is big news! Ye zhiqiao was pregnant before she got married. She was the president of mengxing group, and the man who could make her pregnant was definitely not ordinary. Moreover... The rumor about gu mohan and her had been spread for a long time. Previously, at the su family dinner, gu mohan rejected miss su in public. Could it be for ye zhiqiao?


    In the blink of an eye, countless guesses had already appeared in manager zhang''s mind. He didn''t even care about his intentions, and he didn''t even go in to see ye zhiqiao and left in a hurry with his assistant.


    Gu chengyan stood behind him and stared at his departing figure. It was not until the short and fat figure was blocked by the closed elevator door that she hugged her arm and raised the corner of her mouth.


    Of course, she would not believe that manager zhang would keep his mouth shut. It was estimated that by tomorrow morning, news of ye zhiqiao''s pregnancy would spread throughout the company. What she wanted was this effect. She would not miss anything that could harm ye zhiqiao, even if it was small.


    But in fact, gu chengyan''s estimate was still wrong.


    Because by the next morning, not only did mengxing group know that ye zhiqiao was pregnant, but even su yanbai heard about it from her friends.


    The moment she heard this, su yanbai thought that maybe this child would be gu mohan. After all, she saw ye zhiqiao living in gu mohan''s villa with her own eyes.


    And even if ye zhi qiao was pregnant with gu mohan''s child, she was nameless and indiscriminate, and was known to be at most that she did not love herself, and certainly would not give blessings, not to mention, gu mohan''s parents... Had no good feelings for ye zhi qiao.


    Su yanbai felt that gu mohan''s parents must not know about this yet, so she decided to tell them personally that when she added more oil and vinegar, the two old people would definitely have a worse view of ye zhiqiao. Even if ye zhiqiao was pregnant with the gu family''s flesh and blood, they would not be willing to accept it.


    With this in mind, she immediately set off for gu mohan''s parents'' house.

 Chapter 172 Seeing Is Believing

    Mother gu was very happy to see su yanbai. Previously, she was afraid that her son''s actions angered father su, and even su yanbai would get angry with her, but it seemed that she did not.


    As usual, su yanbai held mother gu''s hand and spoke. She was magnanimous and kind when she told her what had happened at the banquet.


    Mother gu was embarrassed and said apologetically, "Yan yan, Mohan is like this sometimes. He has a very stubborn temper. You must not be as sensible as him."


    "Auntie, what are you talking about? I know brother gu. He definitely didn''t do it on purpose. It''s all because of ye zhiqiao." Speaking of ye zhiqiao, su yanbai asked unintentionally, "By the way, auntie, is brother gu going to marry ye zhiqiao?"


    "Ah?!" Mother gu was taken aback by her question, "Marriage? Who said they were getting married?"


    Su yanbai widened her eyes and asked innocently, "No? But I heard that ye zhiqiao was pregnant... Not brother gu''s child?"


    "What! Pregnant?!"


    Sure enough, when she heard the news, mother gu was so surprised that she did not close her mouth for a long time. She asked su yanbai, "Yan yan, what the hell is going on? Tell auntie."


    Su yanbai was also surprised, "Don''t you know? People outside have spread the word that ye zhiqiao fainted because she was pregnant and is still in the hospital."


    Then she frowned and pinched her fingers in embarrassment, "But if she was pregnant with brother gu''s child, how could brother gu not tell you, or... That child is... Someone else''s?"


    "Others? Whose?"


    Su yanbai shook her head repeatedly, "Actually, I don''t know very well. I also heard that... I heard that ye zhiqiao''s private life seemed... A little... Chaotic. There seemed to be a lot of opposite sex friends around her. She had been abroad for a few years, and her life was quite... Open..."


    "Life is open. You mean she has..."


    Mother gu''s words were very vague. Su yanbai pretended not to understand, but still nodded in affirmation.


    Mother gu was stunned. Gu mohan had always said that ye zhiqiao was good and good, but she had never said that she had such a problem. What good could a woman do with so many men?!


    She was angry and anxious. That night, she called gu mohan home and "Interrogated" him with her father.


    "That ye zhiqiao, what''s going on? You have to give me and your dad an explanation today!"


    Gu mohan had just returned from his social engagements outside and was so tired that he could not wait to lie down in bed and sleep. Hearing gu''s mother say this, he was too lazy to think about the meaning of the words and asked directly, "What happened to ye zhi?"


    Sitting across from him, Mrs. Gu leaned forward and patted the table. "Did you know that she''s pregnant?" Whose child is it?!"


    Hmm? So it was this.


    Gu mohan was worried about this matter, and he didn''t know who spread the rumor that ye zhi happened to be pregnant. It was obviously groundless, but today it had been spread all over the world. He didn''t expect that even his parents knew about it.


    He quickly explained, "Don''t listen to the rumors outside. They''re all fake. Ye zhiqiao was indeed living in the hospital now, but that was because she was tired from rushing the design draft overnight and was recuperating. Pregnant? It''s just a rumor."


    Seeing that gu Mohan didn''t seem to be lying, mother gu calmed down a little. In fact, she was afraid that ye zhi qiao would not love to be pregnant, but rather that she was afraid that ye zhi qiao was pregnant with gu mohan''s child.


    If it was true, how could gu mohan fulfill his engagement with miss su when he couldn''t get rid of the dog skin plaster?


    Mother gu stopped talking, but father gu suddenly said, "No wind, no waves. If she is really so clean, how can someone smear her body for no reason?"


    "Dad." Gu mohan stood up and said anxiously, "She''s really a good girl. No matter her character or work, she can''t find any fault. You..."


    "Okay."


    Father gu raised his hand to interrupt him and said slowly, "You told us not to believe the rumors outside, but you made us believe your side of the story. There is always the suspicion of protecting our own shortcomings. You like that ye zhiqiao, and I won''t comment, but I can''t easily believe your words."


    "Dad, what do you mean?" Gu mohan asked in disbelief.


    "I only believe in my own eyes." Gu fu stood up with his thighs propped up, moving his shoulders as he said, "Staying at home for too long is making your body weak. Go out for a walk tomorrow and look at ye zhiqiao, who you have praised so much."


    With that, he took his little teapot up the stairs and went back to his room.


    Gu father wanted to see ye zhiqiao, and gu mohan was not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse. Father gu''s bad impression of ye zhiqiao is certain now. It would be best if he could change his opinion through this meeting, but I am afraid that the preconceived impression would not be so easily changed.


    But since gu father wanted to see him, gu mohan had no reason to stop him.


    Since ye zhiqiao was in the hospital, father gu agreed to condescend to visit the hospital. This news shocked ye zhiqiao. What was the status of father gu? She was not only her real owner, the person with the highest status in the gu family, but also gu mohan''s father and her elder. Wouldn''t she lose her life if someone came to visit her?


    Gu mohan persuaded her to relax, saying that father gu came here mainly to see her. He had no other intention, so there was no need to be nervous or afraid.


    As gu mohan''s "No other meaning" was muttered in her heart, ye zhiqiao waited in the ward nervously.


    Finally, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and the door of the ward was pushed open.


    Ye zhiqiao had been standing in the middle of the ground. When she saw gu fu come in, she immediately went up and bowed before greeting him, "Hello, uncle gu. I''m a friend of president gu, ye zhiqiao."


    Father gu nodded and agreed. He glanced at the box in gu mohan''s hand and said, "I heard that you are ill. The old man doesn''t know what to give you. Keep these tea leaves if you like."


    "Thank you, uncle gu." Ye zhiqiao took the box from gu mohan''s hand, took a serious look at it, then smiled and said, "I like tea very much, but they are all ordinary tea. Junshan silver needle is such a famous tea. I have never tasted it before. Thank you very much."


    Nowadays, there are not many young people who like to drink tea. Seeing that she is quite understanding at such a young age, gu father''s attitude is much more relaxed. He nods his head and says "Yes."


    After that, ye zhiqiao invited him to sit down and personally brewed tea. When she came back, she put it in front of him and said apologetically, "There is no proper tea set and suitable water temperature here. Please forgive me."


    Father gu nodded and said nothing.

 Chapter 173 Red?!

    Father gu took a sip of warm tea and looked around the ward. "Are you used to living in this ward?" He asked."


    This was the advanced ward in the hospital, and the daily hospitalization fee was several times that of the ordinary ward. What did he mean by asking this?


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t care if he had any other meaning or not, so she directly pretended to be stupid and replied, "It''s still a habit, but it''s not comfortable at home. My body has recovered almost, and I can be discharged in the near future."


    "Oh." Father gu took another sip of tea and continued, seemingly unintentionally, "Indeed, the house is comfortable. Is your family in good health?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s expression paused. Family was the last thing she wanted to talk about.


    Gu mohan seemed to be speaking for her at this time. Ye zhiqiao quickly winked at him, then lowered her head and said to herself, "Actually... Something happened in my home. Now that I''m not at home, I don''t have a close relationship."


    "Yeah."


    Father gu still nodded, but his heart was not as satisfied as before.


    Ye zhiqiao, this girl, was roughly the same as gu mohan described. She had a good upbringing and was well-mannered. However, her family was a big flaw.


    Gu mohan was in charge of the gu family, and his wife must be able to match him regardless of family background and status, and this girl in front of him certainly did not fit this point.


    Thinking of this, he secretly shook his head, raised his eyebrows and continued to drink tea.


    A meeting of different minds ended, and a few days later, ye zhiqiao finally passed all the tests and was allowed to leave the hospital.


    After she was discharged from the hospital, she did not go home immediately, but went straight to the company.


    According to Xiao Man, a staff member of a brokerage company had already reported to the company for three days in a row. He was very determined to see ye zhiqiao, but he did not mention the details.


    Ye zhiqiao was also interested in this mysterious man, so she decided to meet her.


    Their conversation was scheduled in the meeting room of mengxing group. When ye zhi happened to enter, the other party had been sitting in their seats waiting for a while.


    The other party was a woman of medium height, dressed up beautifully. If she hadn''t read the information on the visitor registration, ye zhiqiao would never have believed that the person in front of her was already 36 years old.


    She was late, so she reached out her hand and apologized, "I''m sorry, there was some traffic on the road that delayed the time. You''ve been waiting for a long time."


    "Hello." The woman also reached out to shake her back, smiling kindly but with a shrewd look deep into the workplace, "I''m ash, a staff member of the city''s most famous brokerage company."


    Ye zhiqiao called her name and then asked, "Listen to my assistant. You have something to discuss with me. What is it?"


    Ash''s personality was fierce and without any extra formalities, he said directly, "I followed the poster that you shot for the gu series and the show at the new product launch a while ago and thought that your overall image was very suitable for the debut. After discussing with the company, they also agreed to my request, so I specially sent me here to ask if you have any intention to debut."


    "Debut?" Ye zhiqiao looked incredulous.


    Ash nodded, "That''s right. Are you willing to be an artist?"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao was a little dumbfounded and waved her hand repeatedly, "It''s not suitable. It''s not suitable. First of all, my current work situation is not allowed. I am now in charge of mengxing group and occasionally take on some design work. I have very little free time. Besides, artists and celebrities are very young now, and I''m in my twenties..."


    She shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can''t agree."


    "Don''t be in a hurry to refuse." Ash took out a paper document from his bag and handed it to ye zhiqiao, then said, "I have already known about your current situation before I came here. You don''t have to worry about time. If you sign with our company, we can guarantee to save you the most time."


    She clicked on the page of the document and explained, "After signing up, you only need to participate in a limited number of filming activities, meetings, and variety shows. You don''t have to work all day like other artists. Well... You can interpret this as a part-time job."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao''s expression was no longer as shocked as before, ash continued, "As for age, you don''t need to worry. You''re not that old in your twenties, and you probably don''t log on to the internet often. In fact, you''re already popular in the online world."


    "Ah?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was at a loss. Indeed, ever since she was attacked by the internet, she rarely went online, and her work was getting busier and busier. Her phone had almost no other function except to call and send emails.


    Ash had already guessed this and explained patiently, "Since your poster, your fan base has been set up on the internet. Although you haven''t responded to it personally, the number of fans has grown larger and larger, not losing out to ordinary second-or third-tier stars."


    Looking at a random website that ash opened, ye zhiqiao secretly exclaimed, god, she never knew that she was actually in the virtual world, so unknowingly popular.


    "How is it? Can we consider signing the contract now?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly and pondered for a long time before saying, "For this matter, first of all, I thank you for informing me of such good news. Second, for the signing issue, because I have no experience in this area, it is too hasty to make a decision at once. I think I need some time to think it over."


    She had doubts that ash could understand. After all, it took a lot of courage to take time out from her job, which was still promising, to challenge an area she had never been in contact with.


    "It''s a reasonable request that you need to consider. I have an idea that you can listen to."


    As she spoke, she took out another document from her bag.


    Then he introduced, "This is a letter of intent from an influential investor in the industry to our company. He has a great desire to cooperate with you and invites you to participate in the recording of a design variety show. He also said that if you don''t agree to sign a contract with our company for the time being, he can act as a guarantee. Before you participate in the program, our company will promote the package on your behalf. As for the signing of the contract, We can talk about it after you finish the show."


    Taking part in this program could also be regarded as an inspection of the company. Ye zhiqiao thought this proposal was not bad.


    In that case...


    "Well, I will read this letter of intent carefully. If it''s appropriate, I agree to participate in a show first."

 Chapter 174 Recording a Program

    On this day, ye zhiqiao got up early and rushed to the agency, taking the nanny car specially prepared for her to come to the variety show recording site.


    Because of the live broadcast, there were already many fans waiting for the stars at the door.


    As soon as ye zhiqiao''s car arrived, it was completely surrounded.


    Hearing so many voices outside the car calling out their names at the same time, ye zhiqiao felt a little excited and moved for no reason. It was such a wonderful feeling to be liked.


    However, she did not have much time to experience this beauty, because the nanny car was driven directly to an entrance that only insiders could access. Accompanied by her temporary manager and bodyguards, she quickly walked into the tv station without even seeing a fan''s face.


    She was escorted directly to the dressing room, where she was styling by a professional makeup hairstylist while following her manager to get a general idea of the program''s recording schedule.


    In order to carry out the program smoothly, the guests who participated in the program would check the script with the host before recording, so that they could have a general understanding of the recording process. Ye zhiqiao was a newcomer, and this work became more and more important. So three days ago, she received an email from her manager about the progress of the program, and she still remembers it.


    After all the noise backstage, the recording finally started.


    It had to be said that at the moment before she stepped onto the stage, ye zhiqiao was very nervous and even her palms were a little sweaty at the thought of facing so many viewers and cameras.


    However, after the host''s introduction, ye zhiqiao suddenly found that the tension had disappeared in an instant. Not only because of the host''s care and familiarity with the process, but also because of the intense lighting on the stage, she could not see the audience sitting below the stage at all. The place she was facing was completely dark, which greatly increased her confidence.


    Moreover, she had seen a lot of big scenes before, and compared to the international designer competition she had participated in several times before, the recording scene at this time was nothing but a small sight.


    According to the previous lines, the host seemed to casually throw out a few questions or jokes, and ye zhiqiao naturally took over, ushering in waves of applause and laughter from the audience.


    Ye zhiqiao also curved her lips and smiled. Her face, which had been decorated with makeup, was exceptionally beautiful and dazzling under the bright light. She was wearing a knee-length dress that she had designed herself. The cut was elegant and appropriate, and a dark leaf loomed at the collar.


    She had a good figure with a straight back and a slender neck. She was graceful and indifferent in every move. Occasionally, she would get a lot of envious looks.


    The first part of the program ended in this harmony, and the second part began.


    For this second segment, the manager had previously reminded ye zhiqiao to pay special attention to it. From the whole program, all the unstable factors gathered in this segment.


    Because there were no specific scenes or conversations during this segment, the host would randomly ask questions prepared by the program team. For the sake of ratings and breaking news, these questions were unknown to the questioner.


    To put it simply, this segment was set up specifically to embarrass the guests.


    Ye zhiqiao sat down on the interview sofa with the host. The first few questions were mild, and ye zhiqiao could answer them truthfully.


    Until the host suddenly said to the camera mysteriously, "Next, it''s where everyone is most curious!" When ye zhi happened to know, the big show was coming.


    The host smiled meaningfully and then said, "Miss ye, there are many opinions about your relationship with gu mohan, the person in charge of the gu group. I don''t know if you can formally explain this opportunity."


    Ye zhi coincidentally maintained a proper smile on her face and said in her heart: I knew you were going to ask this.


    "We are partners."


    After saying this, there was a burst of sobs from the audience, and even the host beside her could not help shaking his head. Obviously, he thought her words were too official, so everyone should be a fool.


    Ye zhiqiao paused and continued, "You won''t believe me if I say so."


    "Eh?!" The host looked at her in surprise, then realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "I didn''t expect miss ye to have such a lively side. The audience, friends, and I were all teased by you!"


    The host deliberately joked, and ye zhiqiao followed her words with a smile, then said, "We do have a cooperative relationship, but we are also very good friends, as for the kind of..."


    At this point, she deliberately paused, winked at the audience, and dazzled the fans with her nimble look before continuing, "This really isn''t there. After all, president gu is such a handsome man, how can I be usurped by a common man like me? I still have to leave it to you young people!"


    The last few words were deliberately lengthened, and the audience applauded and laughed again.


    Speaking of this, the effect of the link has reached the expected height. The host no longer embarrasses ye zhiqiao, turned to the camera and said, "Okay, our second stage of'' torture'' is over here. After the advertisement, the third stage is waiting for you!"


    Twenty minutes into the commercial, ye zhiqiao returned to the dressing room with the deafening greetings and slogans of her fans. After changing into the clothes she needed for the second half, she took off her high heels, put on a pair of comfortable cotton slippers and went to the lounge next door, where the manager prepared food and drinks for her.


    After she left, a staff member sneaked in.


    He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the dressing room. He immediately went to the high heels that ye zhiqiao took off, took out a small bag from his pocket, opened the bag and poured it into the high heels.


    Under the light, the inside of the high heels shone brightly, but if the distance was a little longer, nothing would be found.


    The field worker finished all of this in a hurry, then stood up and opened the door of the dressing room, another sneaky look, and saw that no one had passed before running away from the "Crime scene."


    At this time in the lounge, the manager, ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan were sitting around discussing ye zhiqiao''s performance on the court.


    Gu chengyan had been following her ever since ye zhiqiao was discharged from the hospital. Under the orders of jian mengqi, he took good care of ye zhiqiao.


    After she had finished her point of view, she looked up at the clock on the wall, and after calculating the time, a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.

 Chapter 175 Investigation Interrupted

    Half an hour ago, in the safe passage of the tv station.


    The worker counted the red tickets in his hand and said to gu chengyan, "It''s reasonable to say that this is a lot of money, but ye zhiqiao is now not only a fledgling star, but also has a huge fan base. Moreover, I heard that she is also the president of a big company. If she intentionally gets hurt and caught..."


    He shook his head and said awkwardly, "This is a bit risky."


    Isn''t it just money?


    Gu chengyan rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, "This is only part of it. When you succeed, I will give you another part. Are you satisfied?"


    "Yes, yes, yes." The field worker replied repeatedly.


    Then, he came out of the stairwell and sneaked towards the dressing room.


    The advertising time was about to end, and ye zhiqiao should be on the stage again.


    She came out of the lounge and went back to the dressing room. After tidying up, she began to change her shoes on the chair.


    This time, her dress was still a dress, but it was a little closer to her than the previous one. She did not dare to move much. She bent down slightly and put her foot into it with a feeling. Suddenly...


    "Ah!!"


    The agent who was tidying up and gu chengyan, who was playing mobile games, rushed to her and asked in unison, "What''s wrong?"


    Ye zhiqiao pointed at her high heels and her round legs trembled slightly.


    Gu chengyan quickly squatted down to help her take off her shoes and exclaimed when he saw her feet.


    Ye zhiqiao''s foot was cut by broken glass, and the whole soles of her feet were stained with bright red blood.


    "What''s going on?!" Gu chengyan pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth in surprise.


    The manager looked confused and deeply worried. Then she grabbed gu chengyan''s high heels and looked inside, and she understood everything.


    "Someone did it on purpose." The manager said with a frown.


    Ye zhiqiao was injured, so the recording of the program needed to be postponed temporarily. For a moment, the whole backstage began to be chaotic and busy.


    I don''t know who informed gu mohan. He rushed over as soon as he heard the news and asked the doctor he brought to clean up ye zhiqiao''s wound. He comforted her for a few more words, then immediately launched an investigation.


    In a public place like the dressing room, you dare to do something blatantly. Don''t you want to die?!


    Gu mohan went to the monitoring room and asked the staff to check the surveillance at the entrance of the dressing room. As expected, he soon found suspicious people.


    Gu mohan sat in front of the screen, his dark eyes fixed on the figure of the handyman, watching him look around and enter the dressing room. A few minutes later, he sneaked out again, his face getting darker and darker.


    Bang!! "He slammed the table in front of him and ordered the assistant beside him," this man, find him for me!"


    Because the workers were wearing specially designed uniforms by the tv station staff, gu mohan did not think it would be difficult to find him, but the news that his assistant brought back surprised him.


    Because he said the worker was gone.


    A big living person, who worked in the tv station and entered the employee file, actually disappeared without a trace in an hour!


    At this time, gu chengyan, who came to ask for ye zhiqiao''s situation, happened to open the door and come in. Hearing their conversation, he could not help but laugh in his heart.


    She had told him to leave immediately after she had finished paying the cashier''s bill. Looking for him now was like looking for a needle in a haystack. No matter how capable gu mohan was, it was impossible.


    The worker couldn''t find it, and the clue of the investigation was cut off halfway. Gu mohan really had no choice but to give up temporarily and go back to the dressing room to see ye zhiqiao''s situation.


    After ye zhiqiao''s feet were disinfected and applied with medicine, they were wrapped in gauze one after another.


    He asked the doctor. The doctor said that the broken glass did not pierce the deep part of the skin because he had found something strange before he walked. He could heal within a few days after applying the medicine on time, but because of the special location of the wound, it would be inconvenient for him to move.


    Hearing what the doctor said, gu mohan immediately took ye zhiqiao back.


    "Come home with me right away. You can''t record a show right now. And you don''t want to participate in this kind of program anymore. You got hurt like this the first time. I don''t know what kind of danger you''ll encounter in the future."


    Ye zhiqiao dodged him and reached out to hold her hand. She sat down on the chair and refused firmly, "I''m not going back. There''s no reason to leave halfway through the recording?"


    "But you''re hurt!" Gu mohan was heartbroken and anxious.


    "The manager has just discussed with the program team. I can go up in my slippers in the second half. As long as I sit there, nothing will happen."


    Gu mohan refused to listen to her explanation and insisted, "Even if you don''t leave this time, I will send more people to protect you, and I will never come again."


    "Why?" Ye zhiqiao asked, staring blankly.


    Gu mohan''s eyes widened even wider than hers, and he asked, "Why do you say that? Except for a few bodyguards guarding the door, there was no security at all. Things like this could happen again. This time, I hurt my foot. It''s only a minor injury. What if it''s something else next time? What if it''s sulfuric acid?"


    Ye zhiqiao almost laughed at him, "Sulfuric acid? Am I that hateful?"


    "If you are not hated, there will always be people with extreme thoughts who will harm you." Gu mohan scowled and asked unhappily, "Do you really want to be a star?"


    Why did you say that all of a sudden?


    His question sounded somewhat ironic to ye zhiqiao in a hurry. Ye zhiqiao immediately lowered her face and said angrily, "I don''t have to be a star, but since I have tried in this industry, I don''t want to give up easily."


    She looked up and said in a serious tone, "I''m a serious person. I''m serious about people and things. I don''t have to do one thing, but when I do it, I have to do it well. At least I have to meet the standards that will satisfy me. I don''t have to back off and run away when I''m in trouble."


    "... Even if it brings danger to your own life, do it?" Gu mohan asked, staring into her eyes.


    "Yes. As long as I decide, it''s the same." Ye zhiqiao nodded.


    "... Gu mohan stopped talking.


    She knew that gu mohan meant well. Although what she said just now was from the bottom of her heart, it still hurt a little, so she softened her tone and added, "And I don''t think this kind of thing will happen often. I''m an adult and I know how to protect myself. You... Don''t worry too much."

 Chapter 176 He Had Met That Man Before

    In the end, gu mohan agreed to ye zhiqiao''s decision, but as he said, he sent more people to protect ye zhiqiao.


    A row of well-trained black suit bodyguards stood upright against the wall at the entrance of the dressing room. In the dressing room, the female star who had been sitting opposite ye zhiqiao raised the corners of her mouth and laughed with ridicule.


    Shen monong, she was also one of the guests on today''s show. She arrived at the tv station about the same time as ye zhiqiao. After that, she took on the stage together with her styling and backstage script... At the end of the show, she had already seen ye zhiqiao''s displeasure.


    Most of the fans outside were waiting for ye zhiqiao, and the audience only called ye zhiqiao''s name, including the host and director. They all pointed their cameras and microphones at ye zhiqiao, and she stood beside them completely as a foil.


    Although in this circle, she had long understood the rules. Whoever was popular was the master, and the rest had to stand to the side, but seeing ye zhiqiao happy, she still couldn''t help but feel jealous. Now, she finally found a way to vent.


    Shen mocheng stood up, swung his arms around his waist and came to ye zhiqiao''s side. As he looked in the mirror, he said, "Women nowadays are really delicate. It''s just an accident. We have to get so many people to come over to protect us. What we know is that we are recording a program. What we don''t know is that we thought the boss of the underworld was here."


    She spoke into the mirror, but this was clearly meant for ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao stopped applying lipstick and turned to look at her. Before she could speak, gu mohan behind her had already choked, "Who are you sarcastically talking about?"


    Shen monong turned to look at him and replied with a sneer, "I''ll say who did it." Then he tilted his head and gave ye zhiqiao a sidelong glance.


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao was just about to speak when gu mohan intercepted her.


    Gu mohan''s face darkened as he stared at shen monong and warned, "Mind your own mouth. You don''t have to tell others what to do. If you don''t want to stay here, get out of here as soon as possible!"


    Gu mohan was already unhappy because of ye zhiqiao''s injury. At this time, there were people who added fuel to the fire, which just made him angry.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that he was speaking so aggressively, so she hurriedly came in front of him and tried to smooth things over, "I''m sorry, what happened today was really an accident. If it bothered you, I apologize. I''m really sorry."


    "Apologize? What''s the use of apologizing?" Shen mo held his head high, not even giving ye zhi a chance.


    Gu mohan was even more upset when he saw her deliberately looking for trouble, but there was still a meeting in the company. He couldn''t stay here for long, so he rushed out from behind ye zhiqiao and faced shen monong directly, "For the next half of the show, you''d better be honest with me. I don''t know if there''s any use in apologizing, but I can make sure you never accept it again."


    Shen mo nong''s eyes widened at the words and asked in disbelief, "Are you threatening me?!"


    "I''m threatening you!" Gu mohan frowned and said, "If you let me know that you have trouble with ye zhiqiao, once you have the chance to participate in the program, you will never have it again."


    After saying that, he no longer looked at her, but turned to look at ye zhiqiao. Seeing that the latter had no idea of dialogue, he did not say anything more and turned directly out of the dressing room.


    Gu chengyan, who had been watching everything in the corner, suddenly thought of it, then followed gu mohan and quietly retreated.


    "President gu!"


    Gu mohan walked to the car and was about to open the door when he heard someone calling him from behind. He stopped and looked back, only to see gu chengyan trotting over.


    He knew that she was the person next to ye zhiqiao, and when she came near, he asked directly, "What''s the matter with Zhiqiao?"


    Gu chengyan patted his chest and calmed down a little before saying, "No... No, it''s not."


    She frowned and seemed to be thinking about how to express herself. After a few seconds, she hesitated and said, "I just wanted to tell you. I think... I think that the female star who bullied president ye just now... Seems to be wrong..."


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, gu mohan asked doubtfully, "What''s wrong? Are you in trouble with zhiqiao again?"


    "No, no." Gu chengyan waved his hand and said, "I mean the broken glass in Mr. Ye''s high heels."


    "Did she let them go?!" Gu mohan immediately raised his voice and raised his eyebrows.


    "I''m not sure, but she doesn''t seem to like Mr. Ye at all. She''s been trying to squeeze Mr. Ye to the side during rehearsals, and... Just before the show started, I saw her talking to the worker on the monitor for a long time. Oh, right! When Mr. Ye was in the lounge, she wasn''t there either."


    With that said, her suspicions were indeed very big. It was strange for a female star to talk to an unfamiliar staff member for a long time, and she happened not to show up when someone put broken glass in ye zhiqiao''s shoes. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became.


    Gu mohan left the tv station and on the way, he instructed his assistant to check on the female star.


    After the meeting, the assistant had brought back the results.


    "How is it?" Gu mohan asked as he flipped through the information handed over by his assistant.


    The assistant replied neatly, "The female star''s name is shen monong, and her age and experience are all indicated in the information. There is nothing special about her. It is worth noting that she is the illegitimate daughter of shen Qingyuan, president of the Shen shi group."


    Shen shi? Shen Qingyuan?


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment. The familiar face he had seen many times at the reception immediately surfaced in his mind.


    Shen Qingyuan, one of the famous entrepreneurs in this city, was the boss of a small company at first, but twenty years ago, he used a few years to make his career advance by leaps and bounds, and the momentum was fierce. He took several big steps, and finally turned Shen shi into a well-known big company in china.


    In the meantime, although the method he used was not very satisfactory, it was also motivated and motivated.


    But given his family background, it was a miracle that he was allowed to have an illegitimate daughter.


    And according to today''s relationship, gu mohan felt that his illegitimate daughter, shen monong, was not really a lady of great family. She looked fine, or else she wouldn''t be a star. But in terms of temperament, it was really a little bad. That haughty posture was not mentioned for the time being, and just that kind of calculating and jealous personality made people feel uncomfortable.


    Would her presence really not embarrass shen Qingyuan''s family?


    The night was getting darker and the stars in the galaxy were shining brightly. Gu mohan sat alone behind his desk and thought about the possibility of shen monong harming ye zhiqiao, but he had no idea that he and that person had met before.

 Chapter 177 Shen Qingyuan Asks for Cooperation

    Two years ago, london, england.


    The bright and clear sunlight of the day was thrown into the huge french windows of the airport, and the tiny particles in the air were swirling and jumping in Yu Guangzhong.


    Shen monong had just finished filming a brand promotional video and was waiting for the flight an hour later at the airport. She leaned back in her chair, wearing headphones, and looked around aimlessly.


    Suddenly, a man in a gray coat and suitcase strode towards her.


    It was only because the man''s legs were too long. He walked steadily, step by step, but in shen monong''s eyes, it was like a slow motion picture of a movie.


    Everything around him gradually lost its color and voice. Only that man, with his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was tall and straight, and had an imposing manner.


    He walked over to shen monong, then skipped over her without a pause and continued walking forward.


    However, the second before shen mo''s body became thicker was enough to make her linger in her dreams, and she could not forget it for a long time.


    That pair of eyes, deep, low, containing too much and seemingly nothing to touch, had appeared in her dreams countless times in the following time.


    Shen molong called that feeling love at first sight.


    "Heh -"


    Shen monong, who was leaning against the tatami, suddenly burst into laughter. She had just closed her eyes and rested for a while, but she did not expect to have that dream again and dream of gu mohan.


    It was already night outside the window, and the rustling of leaves in the wind could not be heard, but it seemed to be close to the ear.


    She could not help but laugh again.


    What''s the matter? It seems that after seeing gu mohan again today, she''s all wrong.


    In fact, before today, she did not know that gu mohan was gu mohan. She thought that the man she met abroad would never meet again in her life, but she did not expect that she would meet him in the background of an ordinary variety show that even made her angry.


    At that time, she deliberately provoked ye zhiqiao. One reason was that the program team treated her differently. The other was that gu mohan''s attitude towards ye zhiqiao made her feel jealous.


    When she got home, she immediately checked gu mohan''s identity, and after that, she was even more overjoyed.


    It turned out that gu mohan was the famous president of the gu family. He held most of the shares of the gu family and several branches under his name. Nearly half of the city''s business resources were in his hands.


    Shen mo thick was originally an illegitimate daughter, this embarrassing identity made her very insecure about inheriting the property of the Shen shi in the future, but if she could get in touch with gu mo han, then no matter how powerful the shen family was, it must be on gu mo han''s face, not daring to be presumptuous.


    Father and daughter lian xin, at the same time in the Shen shi company building, heard the secretary report, shen Qingyuan also had the same idea.


    When the secretary said that gu Mohan had sent someone to investigate shen molong''s identity, shen Qingyuan''s mood could almost be described as excitement.


    The man and the unmarried woman were unmarried, so what was gu mohan doing hurriedly checking shen molong for? The two of them didn''t interact in their work, so what else could they be interested in besides her?


    Thinking of this, shen Qingyuan had a small plan in his mind.


    If shen munong could really be with gu mohan, it would be good for her and the Shen shi. Especially property inheritance...


    Although the shen family''s current development momentum is good, most of the real power is not in his hands, but in his wife''s hands. Back then, Shen shi was just a small and insignificant company. If it wasn''t for his wife''s help, it would never have been such an achievement today. In yuezhang''s family, he never had much say, and even when he was with his wife, he was always at a disadvantage, which was why he had this illegitimate daughter, shen molong.


    Because he could not feel the warmth and comfort at home, he especially liked shen mo thick. After the division of property, he always wanted to win more for shen mo thick.


    He wasn''t sure about this before, but if Mohan was behind shen mo nong, the two of them would definitely win.


    Having made up his mind, shen Qingyuan made an appointment with gu mohan the next morning.


    Gu mohan was reading the report in his office. When he heard that he was coming, he felt very confused. He had just found out about his daughter yesterday, but today this father came. He must have something to do with shen monong.


    Just as he was thinking, shen Qingyuan had already walked in under the guidance of his secretary. He looked happy and greeted gu mohan warmly, "President gu! President gu! I''ve heard a lot about you."


    Gu mohan immediately got up to greet him, shook hands with him, invited him to sit on the sofa, and politely said, "I don''t think so. President shen is famous."


    Shen Qingyuan shook his head with a smile and said sadly, "I''ve long wanted to discuss some business with president gu, but you and I had no chance to meet each other in the past few collaborations between your company and my company. I finally met you today, which is a wish of mine."


    Gu mohan shook his head with a smile, but did not respond. In his heart, he said: shen Qingyuan is worthy of being able to climb from the bottom to the current position. He said these two words in a good manner and treated people kindly. Although he had his wife''s family behind him, he was indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men.


    Seeing that gu Mohan didn''t say anything, shen Qingyuan said to himself, "President gu, since we have cooperated before, we can be considered half acquaintances. How about I tell you what I mean without saying anything?"


    Gu mohan made a "Please" gesture.


    "Actually, my purpose this time is still to seek cooperation."


    "Oh?" Gu mohan tilted his head and thought about it, then asked, "I remember that gu and Shen shi don''t seem to have any new projects recently, do they?"


    Shen Qingyuan clapped his hands, "President gu is really good."


    With so many companies in the city, there are countless new projects or projects seeking cooperation with them. Gu mohan could tell so quickly if the Shen shi had a project or not. What was it?


    "I''m not talking about cooperation in the ordinary sense of cooperation..." Shen Qingyuan sold a pass and continued, "Just a few days ago, I heard that something happened between the gu family and the su family. It was not very pleasant. Of course, this is the family matter of the gu family. I, an outsider, can''t say much. But then there was the news that the su family and the Yi''s were working together to deal with the gu family. That''s what I heard. I don''t know if it''s accurate."

 Chapter 178 Business

    It was no longer a secret in the industry that su and Yi''s were about to join forces to deal with gu, and gu mohan was also somewhat passive.


    Because when he left the company to search for ye zhiqiao in a city, the company''s important orders had suffered a huge blow, and even the internal flow of funds was affected. Although he had been working overtime with several key personnel in the next few days, he had basically controlled the disorder, but the loss that had been caused could not be compensated.


    In this case, he and the su family were at loggerheads again. Within a few days, the su family had withdrawn all projects with the gu family, which was another big loss. In addition, the Yi''s was on the side, and the gu family was now under attack.


    For the three leading companies in the industry to fight in the arena, almost all the other big and small companies were on the sidelines, thinking of which one would win and which one would close, so although the foundation of the gu family is strong, it is also isolated and helpless.


    At this time, shen Qingyuan suddenly proposed cooperation, and the reason was curious.


    When gu mohan took a sip of tea, his mind had already turned a few times. He put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "I wonder, president shen, what kind of exchange does gu want?"


    "President gu knows what''s going on." Shen Qingyuan laughed with satisfaction as he gestured on the table and explained, "The gu family now has two powerful enemies, but no allies. In fact, with the gu family''s ability, even if it is alone, there is a 50 % chance of victory, but if we add the Shen shi, it is a 100 % victory. When the time comes, not only will we be able to solve the current predicament, but we will also be able to carve up the yi family of the su family, and the Shen shi will definitely be inferior to the gu family, so at that time, your gu family will be the sole leader. With such an attractive interest, I only have one condition..."


    He leaned forward and moved closer to gu mohan, with a meaningful smile on his lips.


    Gu mohan looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.


    Shen Qingyuan blinked and said only one word, "You."


    "Me?" Gu mohan frowned doubtfully, not understanding the meaning.


    Shen Qingyuan took the initiative to explain, "Yesterday afternoon, president gu seemed to have investigated my daughter, shen monong. Then I know he''s my illegitimate daughter."


    "I''m ashamed..." Shen Qingyuan shook his head and sighed helplessly before continuing, "Because of her identity, life was not easy since she was a child, so I especially loved her and always wanted to make it up to her. I''m really happy to know that president gu is interested in her. If my daughter can make a good story with president gu, then I can live in peace in my old age."


    A good story with shen monong?


    Hearing shen Qingyuan''s words, gu mohan was immediately dumbfounded. It was impossible for him and shen monong to achieve good things. Now he was looking for evidence to investigate her because he suspected that she had harmed ye zhiqiao.


    He raised his hand and refused, "I''m sorry. I''m sorry if my actions caused any misunderstanding with president shen. The reason why I investigated your daughter is for some inconvenient reasons, but it''s not the one you think it is."


    In fact, shen Qingyuan had long thought that gu mohan might not have investigated her because he liked shen mohan, but his purpose was only to let gu mohan and shen mohan be together and help shen mohan fight for property. As for whether gu mohan was sincere or not, what does it matter?


    Shen Qingyuan laughed dryly and said, "It''s for that reason or not. Young people, it takes more contact to know if it suits them. I, an old man, can''t control it, and I don''t want to. All I have to do is simply seek cooperation."


    Hearing this, gu mohan secretly frowned.


    What shen Qingyuan said just now made him very impatient. What shen Qingyuan meant was that he was clearly saying, "It doesn''t matter if you like my daughter or not, as long as you are willing to accept a business marriage. When the time comes, I will help you to help me. Things like mutual benefit, feelings, and so on, all stand at the back!" With such an idea,


    It made gu mohan''s initial good impression of him disappear in an instant.


    "I''m really sorry about that. I can''t agree to your cooperation." Gu mohan said expressionless.!!


    Shen Qingyuan froze, looked up abruptly and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? You... Say it again!"


    Gu mohan repeated, "I disagree with your cooperation."


    "Why?!" Shen Qingyuan stood up abruptly and shook his head in confusion as he said, "I can help you deal with the su family and the Yi''s. After success, you will have to make a lot of money. And my condition is just to let you marry my daughter. This... This is a business that will only earn and not lose for you in any way!"


    Gu mohan was holding a teacup to taste the aroma of tea. He raised his eyelids to look at him and asked, "You treat your precious daughter''s marriage as a business deal. Have you come here to set the price with me on the spot?"


    His sarcasm was too obvious. Shen Qingyuan''s face was a little uneasy and his tone was stiff, "President gu, you and I are both businessmen. In business, no one is cleaner than others. I took the initiative to come here and talk to you. I''m not giving you a chance to insult me. I''m trying to show my sincerity."


    "I saw your sincerity and was very touched, but..." Gu mohan put down his teacup and stood up. He faced him word by word and said, "I disagree."


    "Gu mohan..."


    "Shen Qingyuan!"


    Gu mohan stared at him with calm eyes and said in a dangerous tone, "I respect you for being an elder. I have let my ears hear a lot of your dirty words. If you continue to pester me, don''t blame me for being rude."


    "You''re welcome? What do you want?!"


    "I, the gu family, am indeed under attack, but I am not yet at the point of begging for mercy. Besides, it doesn''t matter if there are too many lice to bite or offend another Shen shi. But don''t forget that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. I am tired of dealing with the union of the su family and the yi family, but it is not in my eyes to have a single Shen shi!"


    The two of them were in a standoff, and neither of them wanted to let go of the other. At this moment, the phone in gu mohan''s desk had already vibrated several times.


    "Still not picking up!" Ye zhiqiao put the phone aside and put it on xiao bao''s forehead to test the temperature.


    It was thirty-eight degrees two and still had a fever, which was much higher than ten minutes ago.


    Aunt Li walked around in a hurry. After breakfast, little treasure became listless. Something was wrong. In order to prevent her from getting sick, she specially gave her drops to prevent her from getting cold and fever. However, she did not expect that within a few hours, little treasure still had a fever.

 Chapter 179 Lets Go up and Talk Slowly

    She called gu mohan a dozen times, but no one answered the phone. Ye zhiqiao guessed that he might be busy, but little treasure''s situation could not be delayed any longer.


    "You change little treasure''s clothes. I''ll take her to the hospital."


    "Ah?!" Hearing what ye zhiqiao said, aunt Li subconsciously looked at her foot and stopped her, "No, miss ye, your foot is still injured. How can you drive?"


    At this time, ye zhiqiao had already found the car keys, and as she limped outside the door, she said, "It''s okay. I don''t feel much wrapped in gauze, and I''m almost done. It''s okay to step on the accelerator and brake or something."


    Aunt Li still wanted to persuade, but ye zhiqiao''s figure had disappeared outside the door. She had no way to contact gu mohan. She could only listen to ye zhiqiao''s words, change little treasure into thicker clothes, bring some personal items, and carry her to the passenger seat.


    Ye zhiqiao put on his seat belt and instructed aunt Li to contact gu mohan as much as possible. Then she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car onto the road.


    The location of gu mohan''s villa was a little far from the hospital, which was why she did not dare to delay any longer.


    Children, especially those at the age of little treasure, who were still weak, were the most likely to have a fever, convulsions, pneumonia, and encephalitis... There were countless of them, and they had to be treated as soon as possible.


    Ye zhiqiao was so anxious that she couldn''t care less about the pain in her feet and kept slamming on the accelerator. However, the more anxious she was, the more things went wrong. Just as she was driving to the middle of gu mohan''s villa and the hospital, the car suddenly broke down!


    She didn''t know much about cars, nor did she have any experience in repairing them. In addition, she was so anxious that she couldn''t even see where there was a malfunction. All she knew was that the car suddenly stopped when it was driving. It was useless to step on the accelerator. It was not enough to start the car again.


    There was really no way. Little treasure was still leaning against the car, his eyes half-closed and he didn''t know if he was burning up. Ye zhiqiao had to try calling gu mohan again.


    But gu mohan didn''t know what he was doing. He hadn''t picked up the phone for so long!


    Ye zhiqiao was so angry that she almost dropped her phone. As her fingers slid across the screen, a dusty number suddenly appeared on the screen. Before she could think about it, she called directly.


    Yi chen answered the phone quickly, with a little surprise and surprise in his voice.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t have time to distinguish his emotions and said directly, "Yi chen, little treasure has a fever. The car that I brought her to the hospital suddenly broke down. Do you have time to come and pick us up now?"


    Even if it was nothing, ye zhiqiao called to ask him out, and he would definitely go over, not to mention such an emergency now.


    Yi chen immediately replied, "Don''t worry. I''ll be right there. Don''t forget to send the location to my phone."


    Ye zhiqiao did as he said and then sat back in the car to cool little treasure down physically with a cooling pad.


    In less than 20 minutes, yi chen drove over.


    The broken car was abandoned by ye zhiqiao on the side of the road. She carried little treasure directly into the dusty car, and then dusty quickly sent the two to the hospital.


    When little treasure was receiving treatment, ye zhiqiao thanked yi chen again, "Thank you so much this time. There were not many cars on the road, not even a passing taxi. If it weren''t for you, I really didn''t know what to do."


    Yi chen patted her on the shoulder and said, "You don''t have to thank me. I''m glad I can help you."


    This was true. Ye zhi happened to go to a city earlier. He was the first one to catch up with her, but gu mohan found her first and saved her from the traffickers. Gu mohan had an operation before, and the knife split at that time. Ye zhiqiao was so sad that she lay on gu mohan''s bed and cried for a long time.


    He could never forget how he felt at that time. He stood outside the door and watched the woman he loved cry for another man, but he could do nothing. He had no reason to go in and stop her.


    Now that he could help ye zhiqiao or become her guardian god when gu mohan was away, he was extremely excited.


    At this time, the doctor in the ward also came out, saying that little treasure had been checked and treated, and was now being transfused, and there was no big problem.


    Hearing this news, ye zhiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled when facing yi chen.


    Yi chen looked at her happy face and felt warm in his heart.


    At the same time, yi chen''s ex-girlfriend, the third-tier star Xiaorui, was waiting in the lobby of the hotel. She was waiting for the person she wanted to meet, and she had something to do with ye zhiqiao.


    This matter began yesterday.


    Yesterday afternoon, she was out of work because she hadn''t signed a contract for a long time. While watching the tv series with a pile of snacks, she suddenly saw ye zhiqiao on a very famous variety show.


    Although she was not lucky enough to participate in the program, as an insider, she still had some understanding of the program arrangement. From the pictures taken, ye zhiqiao was the heroine of the scene, no matter where she stood or where she was shot.


    When did ye zhiqiao enter the entertainment circle?


    This was the first thought in her mind, and then she thought about yi chen breaking up with her because of ye zhiqiao a long time ago.


    Ye zhiqiao, that woman, looked like a fox spirit. She could seduce yi chen before, but now of course she could confuse others. She suddenly appeared in the entertainment circle and was invited by such a large variety show. It was strange that there was no backstage!


    The more Xiaorui thought about it, the angrier she got. There was more jealousy in it. She didn''t understand why that woman, ye zhiqiao, could do anything she wanted. How much worse was her xiao rui than her ye zhi?!


    Jealous, Xiaorui asked a friend to check ye zhiqiao''s agency that night and contacted the manager of that agency.


    What ye zhiqiao can do, she can do too, and will definitely do better.


    As he thought about it, the automatic door of the hotel suddenly opened, and Xiaorui looked up at the man who had walked in.


    The man was wearing an expensive suit and was of medium stature. Apart from his slightly prominent belly, his figure was still normal, but his face was too "Nouveau riche." Puffy eyelids and thick lips, it seems that they usually supplement nutrition.


    However, compared to the photos sent by friends, there was not much difference.


    Seeing the man getting closer and closer, she immediately stood up with a sweet smile and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Jin. I''m Xiaorui, the one who contacted you yesterday."


    The man called president jin grinned, lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "No hurry. Let''s go up and talk slowly."

 Chapter 180 "devote Yourself to the Top"

    The two of them entered Xiaorui''s reserved room one after the other. President jin walked behind and locked the door.


    Xiaorui had heard of such things in the circle before, but when it came to his turn, he didn''t know what to do. For a moment, he was at a loss. He stood in the middle of the ground and didn''t know where to look.


    Mr. Jin, on the other hand, seemed to be quite experienced. He sat down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him. He smiled and said, "Sit down. Didn''t you say you had something to talk to me about? I was quite enthusiastic just now. Why are you still shy now?"


    "No... No..." Xiaorui replied with a smile as she stepped onto the sofa, her fingers around her skirt, and her head lowered, "What I wanted to talk to you about... Was actually what I said on the phone yesterday... About... About signing the contract..."


    Her contract with the last agency was about to expire, and because she had been popular for a long time, there was no sign that she would be popular, so the company was not prepared to support her as an "Idle person," and was not planning to renew her contract at the next stage.


    This was still the case with the company, and without the support of the company, she would almost be kicked out of the circle, so she would find president jin.


    "Devote yourself to the top" doesn''t sound good, but when you''re truly successful, who cares what you''ve been through along the way. As long as they can be brilliant in the end, and now suffer some grievances and sell their dignity, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable.


    With this mindset, president jin had seen a lot of girls, young, angry, beautiful, plastic... Countless, some of them "Dedicated" to really fly into the sky, sit in the highest position, but there are more people, wasted their virginity, wasted their time and self-esteem, in the end, only to fall to the ground.


    All of this had nothing to do with someone like president jin. All he had to do was enjoy himself.


    "About signing the contract -" president jin pressed his brows in embarrassment and said," you know my company, too. There are so many people who want to come in. Just graduated from the drama school, from little red to big child star, and even some of the past female stars who were popular a few years ago, they all want to come in, but there is only one company, and there are so many resources..."


    Hearing what he said, Xiaorui became anxious and quickly asked, "President jin, I understand what you mean. Just give me a chance. I will work harder than others and will never let you down."


    President jin laughed dryly, "You little girls are easily flustered and unstable. I didn''t say I can''t help you, but... Hehe, there''s some truth... You should understand."


    He squeezed his eyes and smiled, his mouth turning back, revealing his yellowish teeth from years of smoking.


    Xiaorui lowered his head again, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and whispered, "I understand... As long as president jin... As long as president jin gives me a chance, I am willing... I am willing to accompany you, whatever..."


    "Ha ha ha -" president jin laughed a few times and patted his thigh.


    Xiaorui tilted his head and met his inviting gaze. His heart sank. Then he bit his lips, clenched his hands into fists and sat down on his knees.


    President jin laughed again, his arms folded, and the woman on his lap walked quickly to the big white bed opposite him.


    ...


    ...


    An hour later.


    Xiaorui woke up in a messy bed. The man lying next to him had changed into a suit shirt and was leaning against the bed, puffing up smoke.


    "President jin?" She called out to him and sat up with the quilt in her arms, her body still aching from time to time.


    President jin narrowed his eyes and lazily agreed, "Yes."


    "You... Just now..." Xiaorui bit her lip. She couldn''t say anything else. Was she going to ask him if he was satisfied?


    She was too embarrassed to ask. President jin did not take the initiative to speak. After a long silence, he finished a cigarette and stood up, ready to wear a suit.


    This time, Xiaorui couldn''t hold his breath. He put on a bathrobe and ran out of bed. He stood in front of president jin and asked, "President jin, what can I sign a contract with the company?"


    "Sign the contract?" President jin didn''t seem to understand what she was saying and asked, "What agreement?"


    "!!!"


    Xiaorui widened his eyes in disbelief and shook his head stiffly, "How can you... Do this?"


    Why did he pretend not to remember what he had said before? Was he going to renege?!


    "We agreed, I... I''ll stay with you, and then you''ll let the company sign the contract with me!" Xiaorui cocked his neck to remind him.


    President jin''s face was completely devoid of smiles. Looking at xiao rui, he looked like he was looking at a stranger. His tone was also cold and stiff, "Do you know how strong the background or fan base of the people who signed with our company is? On your own? After a few years in the circle and not even a splash of water, the eighteen-level starlets still talk to me about cooperation? Don''t you think you deserve it!"


    "I... I..." Xiaorui''s eyes were red and he choked at the top of his voice, "But I slept with you! After that, you want to renege on your debt. It''s not that easy!!"


    "So what if I sleep? You can''t ask around in the circle about how many people have been with me. Let me tell you this. It''s your blessing to be with me."


    President jin''s scoundrel showed his face and looked at xiao rui with contempt. A woman who yearns to reach success through shortcuts can only give so much. She puts her hopes on others, and the final result can only be despair.


    Xiaorui no longer had any illusions at this time. She clearly realized that she had been deceived and played by others. The funny thing was that she was still so looking forward to it before this!


    Ashamed and angry, Xiaorui blushed and pointed at the man with his arm across his face, "The last name is jin! You''d better do as you said before, or else, don''t blame me for being unkind! Believe it or not, I will tell everyone what you did in a hurry and see if anyone will come back to your company!!"


    "... Are you threatening me?" In an instant, president jin''s gaze turned sinister.


    Xiaorui shrank a little, but now she had to put all her eggs in one basket, "That''s right, I''m threatening you! As long as you don''t admit it, tomorrow morning the news about you breaking the rules for a female star will make the headlines. I''ll ruin your reputation!"


    President jin licked his lips and looked at her quietly for a long time. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. "Xiaorui, Xiaorui, I finally understand why you haven''t been red for thousands of years. It turns out that not only is it because you have no luck, but also the most important thing is that you don''t have a brain!"


    As he spoke, he took out a pen from the inside pocket of his suit and pressed the black button on the cap.

 Chapter 181 Photos Caused Trouble

    "What I want to talk to you about... Is actually what I said on the phone yesterday... About... About signing..."


    "About signing the contract - you know my company, too. There are too many people trying to get in..."


    "I understand... As long as president jin... As long as president jin gives me a chance, I am willing... I am willing to accompany you, whatever..."


    Hearing the familiar tone and the familiar conversation, Xiaorui''s eyes widened and his face turned livid and pale.


    "This is... What?"


    Mr. Jin put away his pen and tilted his head, "Recording pen, haven''t you heard of it?"


    Then he shook his neck and said leisurely, "It''s a little too long, isn''t it?"


    Without waiting for Xiaorui to answer, he said in a low voice, "I tell you, xiao rui, in this circle, or in society, it is the same principle. It is not important whether a person is popular or not. It is important to have a brain and know how much weight you weigh. You will never starve to death."


    "You bastard!" Xiaorui couldn''t help but curse.


    President jin smiled and shook his head, "I still don''t understand. Do you think it''s because I recorded this that I dare to be so unscrupulous? No. Even without this audio, I wouldn''t be afraid of you exposing me, because in this industry, I already have a deep foundation, not to mention you, how many people I''ve slept with, you probably won''t believe it. They''re popular, rich and powerful, why haven''t they come to me yet? Think about it with your poor brain cells!"


    Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.


    Xiaorui quickly pulled him back. This time, without the confidence he had before, his voice became weak, "President jin... President jin... This audio... You''re not going to send it out, are you?"


    "Heh - finally a little better." President jin brushed her hand away, straightened her collar and said, "Look at your performance." After that, he opened the door and left without looking back.


    It depends on your performance. Look at your performance!


    This sentence echoed in Xiaorui''s ears. She got into the quilt and covered her ears, but what president jin said just now kept echoing.


    What did he mean? What do you think of her performance? Does this mean that if she dares to expose him, he will also send out audio, or that in the future, she will be threatened by this handle and obey his orders?


    No! No!! She doesn''t want any of them!


    How much effort and effort did she put in to get to where she is today? Even if she was not popular now, it was hard to guarantee that one day she would not be successful. If there was such a weakness in the hands of others, it would always be her greatest threat.


    She thought about it for a while, and in the end, she only thought of someone who could help her.


    After the breakup, she did not delete the person''s number. She quickly searched for it and immediately dialed it.


    Yi chen was still in the hospital when he suddenly saw Xiaorui calling. He didn''t want to answer the phone, but ye zhiqiao overheard the ringing of the bell. During her inquiry, he had to go out of the ward to answer the phone.


    "Hello?"


    Hearing the voice from the other side, Xiaorui seemed to grab hold of a straw and almost cried out excitedly, "Yi chen... Yi chen? I''m Xiaorui!"


    Yi chen said impatiently, "I know. If you have something to say, I have something to do here."


    "Well, I want you to do me a favor. I... Have a manager who bullied me and is threatening me with recorded audio. Your family is so powerful. You can definitely help me think of something, right?"


    "What are you talking about?" Xiaorui continued to say a few words, but yi chen only frowned in disgust after listening, and coldly reminded him, "We have no relationship for a long time. Don''t you know? And even if it does, what did you offend that boss, and what did you get in my way? Our Yi family connections are from the wind. Can I help you clean up the mess?"


    "No, no, no... Please help me..." Xiaorui said incoherently, agitated, "For the past, you will help me this time. I promise I won''t bother you again. This is the last time!"


    "All right, you! Don''t bother me here. Don''t call me again, okay?"


    "Not easy to dust, listen to me... You..."


    Xiaorui wanted to continue begging him, but there was already a intermittent busy tone on the receiver. Yi chen had already hung up the phone.


    At 2: 00 pm, the window was hazy, the sun was blocked by thick clouds, and a few faint orange rays flickered in and out. The hotel room was eerily quiet. Xiaorui was disheveled, sitting on the bed in his clothes, his eyes empty.


    At the same time, there was already a huge uproar on the internet.


    Several stolen photos were uploaded to a well-known website, and one of them was yi chen, who had just received the call and walked back to the ward.


    Besides him, there were also xiao bao and ye zhiqiao.


    Netizens didn''t know little treasure, but they knew ye zhiqiao, who had just joined the show and caused a huge sensation, and yi chen, the second young master of the Yi''s. What they saw in the photo was ye zhiqiao carrying a child in her arms walking in front of her, yi chen gently and lovingly protecting her side, and in front of the three people was the gate of the city hospital.


    Anyone could guess that it was a family of three and that her parents were anxiously carrying her to see a doctor when the child was sick. So for a while, there were already rumors in the comments section.


    A certain netizen: "This woman is ye zhiqiao, right? I saw her at the variety show yesterday. She''s really beautiful and has a good temperament, but I didn''t expect that she was already a mother."


    A netizen said, "No way. I saw that show too. The host asked her about her relationship with gu mohan, the president of the gu family. She said it vaguely at that time, but it clearly meant that she was still single!"


    Some netizen: "You don''t know that, do you? Yi chen and ye zhiqiao had already asked for a marriage, but ye zhiqiao didn''t seem to agree at the time, but it''s not important. Anyway, now we have children."


    A netizen said, "I don''t agree with you upstairs. I was there when the proposal was made, and ye zhiqiao rejected it very firmly at that time, and the proposal was only a few months away. How could such a big child come out?"


    A certain netizen: "The entertainment industry, how can a random word!"


    A certain netizen: "Ye zhiqiao seems to have some connections with many famous people, like gu mohan mentioned in the front row, but am I the only one who remembers? A few months ago, she was online because she was flirting with a lot of rich people."


    A netizen said, "It''s not right for the upper echelons. Didn''t they see that other people''s children were born? What if it''s true love this time? But it''s good to be pretty. There are so many princes of black and white horses on the way to find true love!"

 Chapter 182 How Dare You Be Angry?

    Gu mohan sat in his office chair and finally heard the message on his phone. He opened the drawer and took out his phone. When he opened it, he found that there were more than 20 missed calls and five or six text messages. He clicked on the first one, which was sent by ye zhiqiao, telling him that little treasure had a fever.


    Seeing that little treasure was ill, he immediately got up and wanted to leave. But shen Qingyuan, who was standing opposite him, stopped him again and asked with concern, "President gu, is something wrong? Why are you so anxious? We haven''t finished our cooperation yet."


    Gu mohan raised his hand and said, "There''s nothing to talk about. I''ve already made it clear that president shen should look for someone else to cooperate with."


    Shen Qingyuan refused to give up on his "Son-in-law" and continued to persuade him, "President gu, don''t be so heartless. Let''s talk about it. Let''s talk about it. In this way, I am willing to take another step back in cooperation. As long as you promise to get engaged to mo nong first, I will immediately lead the Shen shi to help you deal with the su''s yi family. Is that all right?"


    The more anxious gu mohan was, the more shen Qingyuan was about to stir up trouble here. What he said was what gu mohan despised and disliked the most. Since he was unhappy with himself, gu Mohan no longer saved face for him, "President shen, it seems that you can''t understand the verbal rejection. In that case, I''ll be practical."


    He took a copy from a pile of documents on his desk and took a picture of shen Qingyuan''s chest. Then he said in a deep voice, "This is the data of the Shen shi''s external funds last quarter. My men studied it carefully and found that there are many things that don''t match. Shen shi should be president shen''s own company, but they don''t know why they are scheming against their own company."


    Hearing this, shen Qingyuan''s eyes involuntarily twitched a few times.


    Indeed, there was nothing wrong with what gu mohan said. He had secretly made changes to Shen shi''s statements, both external and internal. Because his wife''s family had always regarded the Shen shi as their own bag, repeatedly reminding him that they had helped him achieve what he had achieved today, but he was a man, how could he willingly live under others for the rest of his life, so it was necessary to secretly keep a backup.


    Since gu mohan had made the matter so simple, it proved that gu mohan had been paying attention to the Shen shi for a long time, and it must be very clear why he was plotting against his own company.


    Shen Qingyuan was anxious and angry for a moment, but he dared not say anything. His angry eyes were fixed on gu mohan as if he wanted to swallow him up. He had tried so hard to hide things for so long, but gu mohan had managed to tear them apart in just a few words. The feeling of someone holding the door to his life in his hands was the most he hated in his life!


    Seeing his reaction, gu mohan knew what he was thinking, so he said, "I''m not a talkative person. As long as you don''t make any more decisions about gu and me, I will never interrupt anything that is not my business."


    After that, he turned to his side and walked away quickly, leaving shen Qingyuan standing alone for a long time.


    On the way down to the garage, gu mohan looked through all the information and found out that ye zhiqiao had a car accident on the way to the hospital with little treasure. He immediately became anxious and ran to the side of the car and quickly drove the car out.


    As the black car dodged through a crowd of cars on the viaduct, gu mohan''s cell phone suddenly rang again.


    But listening to the voice, this time it was not a message, but a social software friend dynamic prompt.


    On this software, his only friend was ye zhiqiao, who had just signed a contract with the agency, and ye zhiqiao was his special concern. As long as it was about her news, even if it wasn''t from her account, he could immediately receive a prompt.


    Gu mohan placed his phone on the stand and watched the road ahead as he clicked on the hot news about ye zhiqiao.


    He only took one look at the photo on the top and got a general idea of what was going on.


    It turned out to be easy dust. Yi chen took ye zhiqiao and xiao bao to the hospital and the photos were taken by someone and posted on the internet. Gu Mohan only picked one or two of the comments and could already see the whole leopard.


    Now there are rumors all over the internet about the relationship between ye zhiqiao and yi chen, and even most people suspect that the child in ye zhiqiao''s arms was born to her and yi chen.


    This irresponsible speculation, ye zhiqiao and yi chenqiang to send a pair of behavior made gu Mohan very dissatisfied. He was just caught up in the business, and did not receive ye zhiqiao''s phone calls and messages for a while. He did not expect to be occupied by yi chen dove. Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were actually said to be yi chen''s people by netizens!


    Gu mohan''s brows were furrowed and his face was calm, but he was relieved.


    Although he was dissatisfied with the speculation on the internet, and was also very unhappy with yi chen, but the appearance of yi chen directly helped ye zhiqiao save little treasure, which was an indisputable fact. According to ye zhiqiao''s last message, her car broke down halfway, and no taxi passed by. If yi chen hadn''t arrived, xiao bao might have gotten worse by now, so from this point of view, not only could he not be angry with yi chen, he should also be grateful to him.


    When gu mohan arrived at the ward, yi chen was not there, and only ye zhiqiao was alone by little treasure''s bed.


    Selfish, he did not ask where yi chen went, but looked at ye zhiqiao''s feet for a long time. However, ye zhiqiao did not notice his eyes at all. She still bounced around to wipe and feed little treasure''s face while explaining to him that little treasure''s condition had been controlled.


    In the end, gu mohan could not help but pick up ye zhiqiao, who was bent over to face xiao bao, and put her on the sofa. Then he took off her slippers and took off the gauze on her feet.


    "Hey! What are you doing?!" Ye zhiqiao raised her hand and refused.


    Gu mohan brushed her hand away, glared at her and said, "Let me see how your feet are."


    "My feet are fine..."


    The last word ye zhiqiao said was very weak, almost humming out in an angry voice, because the gauze on her feet was wrapped thick, when gu Mohan said this, she just took the gauze apart two layers, and the gauze soaked in blood was immediately exposed, bright red blood stains on the white gauze, can not hide.


    "Ye zhiqiao!"


    Gu mohan called her name in a deep voice, half angry and half heartbroken.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him with the corner of her eyes like a drooping little daughter-in-law, knowing that she had done something wrong this time, and did not dare to explode again.


    Seeing her like this, gu mohan finally got the upper hand because of his heartache. Instead of arguing with her, she got up and went out to call the doctor to change her dressing.


    After that, he carried ye zhiqiao and little treasure back to the car twice and drove home.

 Chapter 183 "saving My Life!"

    The spread of rumors on the internet was always very fast. Within an hour, the entertainment circle had already spread rumors about ye zhiqiao and yi chen in different versions.


    While Xiaorui was still in the hotel room, a friend called to inform her to log into the social circle to see the latest hot content.


    She wasn''t in the mood, but her friend mysteriously said it had something to do with her ex-boyfriend. After being rejected by yi chen and hiding her anger, she used the hotel''s computer to log on to the website.


    Inside, there were photos of ye zhiqiao and yi chen all over the place, news, topics... And so on. It was impossible not to see them. She picked out a few selected posts and skimmed through them, her face getting uglier and uglier.


    Yi chen, this bastard, no wonder she asked him for help in such a low voice and he refused to agree, so he was with ye zhiqiao! Isn''t he a playboy who likes the new and dislikes the old? She had only been with her for a few days, and she broke up after breaking up. Her heartless appearance did not seem like a responsible person at all, but how did everything change here in ye zhiqiao? Not only did she not get tired of ye zhiqiao for so long, she even accompanied ye zhiqiao to see a doctor for a wild child who did not know where she came from, what a strange story!


    Xiaorui kept thinking about yi chen''s attitude towards her, and in contrast to the news before him, an inexplicable resentment rose in his heart. He hated yi chen''s ruthlessness and ye zhiqiao''s methods of seducing men.


    She slammed off her computer, changed her clothes, and went out to the hospital to find yi chen and ask him.


    At this time, yi chen was still in the hospital.


    When gu mohan arrived, he happened to go to the bathroom. When he came back, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao disappeared. Just as he was about to ask the nurse, ye zhiqiao sent a text message thanking him for his help today, saying that she and xiao bao had already gone home.


    Yi chen then looked through the window of the ward towards the hospital entrance and saw gu mohan''s figure. Gu mohan was holding ye zhiqiao and walking towards the parking spot.


    He knew that if gu mohan hadn''t come, ye zhiqiao would never have left him like this. In other words, between him and gu mohan, ye zhiqiao''s choice would always have been the latter.


    This point, I don''t know when, had already felt in his heart. He used to say to himself, "It''s not that ye zhiqiao doesn''t like me, it''s just that she hasn''t found out that she likes me in such a short time. She was close to gu mohan only because she spent more time with him, and because she was in a cooperative relationship, and because gu mohan''s daughter, xiao bao, had been clinging to her, she had misjudged her feelings for gu Mohan." .


    These words, he repeatedly said to himself in his heart, in order to maintain his confidence as always, before making a proposal, to jump off a building to threaten yi shaozhi, to chase after a city, and so on, which was contrary to his usual style.


    Sometimes, he really felt that he was stupid, that he seemed to... Become the kind of person he despised the most in the past.


    Yi chen wandered out of the ward and bumped into Xiaorui when he reached the hospital lobby.


    He stood up in a daze and continued to walk forward. He did not even look at the person in front of him, but Xiaorui angrily grabbed his arm and came up and asked in a loud voice, "Yi chen, give me an explanation!"


    Her voice was not loud, and the people around her were unconsciously attracted by her voice. They looked curiously in the direction of both of them. Yi chen''s thoughts were also disturbed by her. He frowned at her unhappily and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?!"


    "What am I doing? I want to ask you what you want to do?!" Xiaorui raised his voice and asked, "We had a bit of friendship before. Even if we broke up, you wouldn''t be so heartless, would you? I really had no choice but to come and beg you. In the past, even if you didn''t help me, a few words of comfort would always do it, but how could you do this to me?"


    Yi chen tried hard to break free from her arms, but he didn''t expect to feel his movement. The other party hugged him even tighter. His face was gloomy and he said coldly, "Don''t say those useless things after we break up. I hate those women who tangle up after the event. When we played together, we were all you and I wanted. If we couldn''t afford to play, we would be greedy for the passion of that moment!"


    "Yi chen-"


    Without waiting for xiao rui to say more, yi chen had already pushed her body with his free hand. After getting rid of her entanglement, he did not look back and walked straight out of the hospital gate.


    Although yi chen was in a bad mood, he knew that he was facing a woman and didn''t try his best to push her, but the strength between men and women was very different. In addition, Xiaorui was tired of being played by president jin, and he was already exhausted. After being pushed by yi chen, he was thrown directly onto the marble pillar beside him and fell to the ground.


    "Ah--"


    She let out a low cry of fear, then noticed the strange eyes of the people around her, and immediately got ready to get up with a warm face.


    As she stood up, she scolded ye zhiqiao in her heart, because if it weren''t for the fox spirit, she would still be with yi chen, and yi chen wouldn''t be so heartless to her. In the middle of getting up, her eyes suddenly turned and fell to the ground again. This time, she closed her eyes and did not move for a long time.


    When she woke up, she was in the ward, with a large white ceiling in front of her eyes and a strange sensation on the back of her hand. When she turned around, she realized that she was receiving an infusion.


    She was thinking of a kind-hearted person who had sent her over. In the blink of an eye, a strange face appeared before her.


    She frowned doubtfully and asked, "Did you send me here?"


    The other party nodded and sat on the chair in front of her bed with his arms in his arms. He said expressionless, "You were arguing with yi chen in the hall. Many people saw it. Later, yi chen pushed you away and you fainted. Many people saw it, but... I was the only one who came forward to help you."


    "Uh-" Xiaorui was a little embarrassed, but he thanked her, "Thank you so much, sister. How much is the medical fee? I''ll pay you back now."


    The other party sneered, crossed his legs, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don''t even care about the medical expenses. Help people to send buddha to the west after all, and treat it as a good deed."


    Xiaorui was thinking that although this person''s words were not very nice to hear, but he was quite magnanimous, so he heard the woman opposite him continue to say: "But I also saved your life. You don''t have to pay back the money, but you have to repay the favor of saving your life."


    "...


    Gu chengyan took out a bag of medicine from his handbag and whispered a few words into xiao rui''s ear. Then he patted her on the shoulder and stood up quickly to leave.

 Chapter 184 Late at Night

    On the other side, because of ye zhiqiao''s strong request, gu mohan had no choice but to take her and little treasure back to the villa, but went to the apartment he rented for ye zhiqiao when she was working.


    When he entered the house, gu mohan still carried one big and one small into the house twice. After that, he boiled the water to cook and began to work inside and outside.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that he was struggling to cope with these and asked for help, but no matter what she did, gu mohan insisted on holding her.


    For example, she could sit on a small stool, but gu mohan insisted that she put her feet on his legs. For example, when she was cooking porridge, she could stand on the ground and watch the fire with one foot, but gu mohan insisted on holding it horizontally for her to see.


    After a few times, ye zhiqiao finally gave up the idea of helping in the kitchen and suggested taking a bath instead.


    "I was too anxious on the way to the hospital just now, and I sweated a lot." Ye zhiqiao explained.


    "Shower?" Gu mohan glanced at her feet wrapped in thick gauze, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then wash up. I''ll drain you..."


    "Yes, thank you."


    "Then I''ll hold you and wash."


    "Hmm?!!"


    Ye zhiqiao stared at her eyes and was so shocked that the wrinkles on her head were almost coming out. She asked incredulously, "What did you say?!"


    Gu mohan raised his chin to signal her feet and said naturally, "You can''t touch water on your feet. You can''t rest assured if you take a bath on your own."


    "Am I irritable?" Ye zhiqiao pointed back at herself with her mouth full.


    Gu mohan nodded.


    Ye zhiqiao also nodded and wrinkled her whole face in an extremely awkward manner. That expression was clearly saying, "You are so good!" .


    "Hehe... Hehe..." She laughed dryly, then surrendered and said, "I won''t wash it. I won''t wash it."


    Gu mohan curled his lips and carried her back to his bedroom bed. "Rest well if you don''t take a bath," he advised." We''re all patients, too. Look at our little treasure. He''s only five years old and he''s more honest than you."


    Hearing this, ye zhiqiao turned to look at xiao bao, who was quietly leaning on the bed reading a story book, and thought to herself, xiao bao is not honest. He is not well enough to be sick. He really treats me as a child.


    Gu mohan had already returned to the kitchen to cook. Little treasure put down the storybook and climbed to ye zhiqiao''s side. He leaned against her and his smiling eyes curved into crescents. However, his face was still not good.


    Ye zhiqiao stroked her back and asked softly, "Do you want some water, little treasure? It takes a lot of water to get better."


    Little treasure nodded obediently and said in a sticky voice, "Okay, can you put some sugar in it? Little treasure''s mouth is bitter."


    The cold, fever, and the bitterness in her mouth were real. Ye zhiqiao promised her and then called gu Mohan to prepare the water.


    In less than two minutes, warm, sweet syrup was delivered.


    Perhaps he thought it was fun for his father to run around like this, and little treasure said to ye zhiqiao, "Aunt ye, little treasure wants to eat oatmeal."


    When she said that, ye zhiqiao remembered that she was preparing to make oatmeal to cushion her stomach, but gu mohan kept messing around and forgot about it, so she called gu mohan again.


    Three minutes later, the oatmeal with the dried fruit came in again.


    "Cluck, cluck, cluck..." Seeing gu mohan hurrying in his floral apron, little treasure couldn''t help but cover his stomach and laugh again.


    Ye zhiqiao was about to laugh when her phone suddenly rang.


    The caller id showed that it was jian mengqi. She squeezed her eyes and made a "Shh" gesture to little treasure, then picked up the phone.


    "Ye... Zhiqiao, there''s something wrong with the design you handed in. Can you come to the studio now?"


    "Hm?" Jian mengqi''s tone was a little strange, and ye zhi coincidentally asked, "Which one is wrong? I''m in the apartment across from the studio right now, but part of the manuscript is still in gu mohan''s villa. Do you want me to go back and get it now?"


    "No, no, no... No, just come over quickly. Come on."


    "... Oh, okay."


    Ye zhiqiao hung up the phone with her mouth bulging. She tilted her head and said to gu mohan, "Mengqi said that there was something wrong with the design. She wants me to go over and take a look now. You and little treasure should eat first. I will go over now."


    As she was about to jump off the bed, gu mohan quickly reached out to protect her and advised, "It''s getting late. It''s getting dark outside. Isn''t the studio closed yet? There''s no need to rush over the design. Let''s go tomorrow."


    "No." Ye zhiqiao firmly refused, "Since mengqi called at this time, something important must have happened. Besides, I promised her."


    Ye zhiqiao''s character was like this. Once the decision was made, it was useless for others to say anything. Gu mohan understood her point and had to compromise, "Well, I''ll go with you. Little treasure just ate his oatmeal and couldn''t eat for a while. Let''s eat together when he gets back from work."


    "But..."


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to refuse, little treasure had already agreed on the side, "Okay, dad is right, little treasure is not hungry at all now. If you eat too much, your stomach will be uncomfortable. I want to go to bed first. I want to eat with dad and aunt ye later."


    Little treasure said so, and ye zhiqiao had no reason to refuse, so she put on her coat and was carried downstairs by gu mohan.


    Because the distance was very close, just across the road, gu mohan directly carried ye zhiqiao to the opposite building, until the studio floor still refused to let her down.


    Ye zhiqiao twisted her body and protested, "The office is in front. I can walk the rest myself."


    "Shh, don''t talk yet."


    Gu mohan turned around and looked around, then lowered his head and asked ye zhiqiao, "Do you feel that this place is a little strange? The lights are on, but there is no one. Even the computer is off."


    Ye zhiqiao said carelessly, "Mengqi is very timid. She is usually blind. Now she must be afraid to work overtime alone in the company, so she turned on the lights. What''s so strange about that?"


    She said so, and gu mohan did not argue with her. He carried her forward, but his breath was a little more vigilant.


    Jian mengqi''s office was closed, and no one answered after knocking for a long time. Gu mohan pushed the door open.


    There was no one inside as there was no one outside.


    The computer screen was also dark, and even the air conditioner was not turned on, as if... As if there was no one here before they arrived.


    But... But it was really jian mengqi who called her over.

 Chapter 185 The Only Purpose

    At this time, ye zhiqiao also felt a little drumming in her heart.


    Outside the window, the sky was deep, and the rest of the building didn''t have much light, but jian mengqi''s studio was brightly lit, but... No one could see.


    The two of them looked at each other speechless, but they could see suspicion and nervousness in each other''s eyes.


    "Ah!!!!!"


    A piercing scream rang out in the office, and gu mohan''s heart was pounded by ye zhiqiao''s voice. He immediately followed her gaze and looked behind him.


    Outside the half-covered blinds, a blurry shadow just disappeared from the edge of the window.


    Ye zhiqiao was already trembling with fear. Gu mohan placed her firmly on the office chair and gently comforted her, saying, "Don''t be afraid. Don''t be afraid. It must be a person. It looks like he''s playing tricks on purpose. Wait for me to catch him and show him to you."


    Before he could finish speaking, he had already pushed the door open and rushed out.


    In fact, most of the reason why ye zhiqiao screamed in fear just now was because she scared herself. Plus, the situation tonight was really weird, so she couldn''t control it for a moment. After calming down, she felt a little embarrassed.


    I was just laughing at jian mengqi for being timid. Why is she like this now?


    Thinking of it, he could not help but smile.


    At this moment, in the dark outside the blinds, a pair of eyes were staring at her closely.


    "Ye zhiqiao, you bitch, I didn''t expect you to actually hook up with gu mohan besides yi chen. It seems that the rumors on the internet are not exaggerated at all. You simply rely on men to sell your body position! Why should a shameless woman like you step on my head?!"


    Xiaorui leaned out of the window and cursed in a low voice.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was still looking in the direction of gu mohan''s departure, Xiaorui took out the medicine that gu chengyan had given her from his pocket. According to the method of taking care of chengyan, the medicine foam was filled with a cylindrical paper tube, then ignited one side with a lighter and blew into the office through the crack in the open window.


    Ye zhiqiao was unaware of her series of movements, but her body instinctively reacted to them.


    In a few seconds, she felt dizzy and dizzy. At first, she thought that she had fainted again and was going to lie down on her desk to rest for a while, but the feeling did not decrease at all. Instead, it was becoming more and more intense.


    In addition, she also felt an unusual heat, not as hot as the sun in summer, but... It was a kind of heat that gushed out from the body, not just the skin, even the breath was burning.


    No, I have to get some air.


    Ye zhiqiao thought so, then stood up on the table, tiptoed and staggered out.


    When she got to the door, she was about to open the door. As soon as she put her hand on the handle, a huge force directly knocked the door open from outside.


    "Hmph -" according to logic, such a solid fall on the ground would definitely be unbearable pain, but ye zhiqiao now did not feel any pain, but the feeling of physical discomfort was more serious. She unconsciously snorted a few times, then half-narrowed her eyes and did not move.


    Then look at the door, not gu mohan, but yi chen.


    He rushed over, pushed open the door and was about to call ye zhiqiao''s name when he felt the resistance coming from the door panel. Then he heard the sound of mosquitoes humming. Finally, he looked down and saw the figure of ye zhiqiao who was knocked down by him.


    Yi chen immediately realized what had just happened and quickly leaned down to help her.


    But the moment he put one hand on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and the other on her waist, he realized something was wrong.


    It wasn''t the wrong room or ye zhiqiao, but himself, the feeling of his body... Very wrong!


    Under his palm, Zhiqiao''s slender and soft waist seemed to have turned into countless ants, burrowing into his flesh and blood along the skin of his palm, and then rapidly marching through his entire body, head, chest, arms, stomach, and... Everything down there.


    His whole body suddenly felt numb, his skin seemed to be electrified, and his hair stood up.


    In his mind, he couldn''t help but think of some images, his previous girlfriends, the beautiful girls he met in the nightclub, the intellectual mature girls he met while traveling... For a moment, the faces of those women were changed to ye zhiqiao''s, the face of ye zhiqiao under him.


    At this moment, a voice in his mind reminded him, "No, it''s not right. It doesn''t feel right. It feels like it''s been..."


    This is the end of reason.


    His incomplete consciousness no longer allowed him to think so much, his eyes gradually blurred and hot, shaking his head and blinking his eyes, ye zhiqiao in front of him, like a sumptuous banquet, thinking about it would make people unconsciously drool.


    At the same time, gu mohan finally caught up with the shadow outside the studio building.


    As he thought, it was a man, a small, thin man with glasses.


    The man claimed to be an employee of jian mengqi''s studio, and he was baffled by gu mohan stopping him.


    Gu mohan stared at him for a long time. Seeing that his eyes were not dodging, he began to ask, "What are you doing at the company at this time?"


    The employee lifted his glasses, tilted his head and said, "Jane always asked me to take back a report and finish working overtime."


    Gu mohan looked at his empty hands and raised his eyebrows, "Where''s the report?"


    "I don''t know." The employee shook his head in confusion and said, "I didn''t see anything in the position president jian said."


    "Did president jian ever make such a sudden request?" Gu mohan asked.


    "Never told me."


    "Where are the others?"


    "I don''t know."


    Gu mohan sighed and asked, "Did you turn on the lights on the studio floor?"


    The employee still shook his head, "No."


    "Do you know who drove it?"


    "I don''t know."


    "Did you turn it off when you left?"


    "I don''t know. I''m not the last one to leave."


    I met a fool who didn''t know what to ask!


    Just as gu mohan was in a daze, something flashed across his mind. In an instant, a thunderbolt exploded in his ears.


    He suddenly turned around and ran into the company building behind him. The corners of his clothes were flying and his hair was blown back by the strong wind from running.


    For a few seconds in the elevator, he connected the events of the night in detail, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.


    Jian mengqi''s strange phone call, the empty studio with the lights on, the sudden appearance of an ignorant staff... Everything seemed to have one purpose.


    Leave ye zhiqiao alone in that office.

 Chapter 186 It Was Me Who Should Apologize

    When he got off the elevator, gu mohan became more and more anxious. As he ran towards the office, he called his assistant and asked him to immediately investigate the matter tonight.


    When he hung up the phone, he stopped at the door of his office, his lowered eyes stunned by the sight of the ground.


    On the ground outside the office door, yi chen''s body was tightly pressed against ye zhiqiao''s body. His broad shoulders completely blocked ye zhiqiao''s face. Gu mohan could not see ye zhiqiao''s situation, but he could clearly feel the abnormality of yi chen.


    Yi chen''s body was trembling slightly, his face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he was panting heavily. Gu mohan, who was also a man, could not understand this reaction better.


    Gu mohan cursed. The veins on his neck popped out. He quickly came to the two of them with clenched fists. He grabbed yi chen''s back neck with one hand and lifted him up. In this position, he threw him out the door.


    After that, she returned to ye zhiqiao''s side and knelt down to observe her condition.


    Her face was also abnormally red, and her forehead and nose tip even revealed fine beads of sweat, obviously similar to the situation of dust, but fortunately, her clothes were intact, and there were no signs of invasion.


    Gu mohan heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also subconsciously afraid that if he had just chased the employee far away, or had not expected the strange things to come back late, the consequences would have been unimaginable.


    He picked up ye zhiqiao with a straight face and strode past the dusty body that was still lying on the ground. He didn''t even sweep the light away and went straight to the elevator.


    He was angry and angry at what he had just seen, but he also knew that ye zhiqiao had been tricked this time, and yi chen''s appearance was probably a trap, so he did not do anything to yi chen. As for throwing yi chen outside the door, besides venting his anger, it was also to let him wake up as soon as possible.


    After gu mohan left, yi chen lay on the ground for half a day and was not fully awake, but he was not alone. In the dark corridor on the other side of the corridor, gu chengyan was gritting his teeth as he watched the scene.


    She clutched the door frame tightly, her sharp fingertips almost sinking into the wood. She had tried her best to arrange this good show tonight, but it was ruined because of gu mohan''s appearance. How could she not hate it?


    I didn''t expect that ye zhiqiao was really lucky. Every time she was in a desperate situation, she would have someone to help her, but she didn''t believe that someone would be so lucky for the rest of her life!


    At this time, ye zhiqiao had already been carried downstairs by gu mohan. When she was blown by a cool breeze in a wide area, she immediately woke up. The scene just now gradually surfaced in her mind.


    At that time, she was under the pressure of dust. Both of them reacted strangely. At that time, her mind was confused and she didn''t understand what was going on. However, although she could not be blamed for this, she still felt extremely embarrassed when gu mohan bumped into her like that with another man. Her face turned even redder than before and was about to bleed.


    Gu mohan was carrying her across the street. His arms were steady. She used to be safe and warm inside, but now, she wished she could leave this arms and find a hole in the ground.


    Gu mohan, who was holding her in his arms, quickly noticed her trembling movements. He looked down reflexively, but before his eyes could reach her, the woman in his arms had already averted her eyes, feeling awkward and embarrassed.


    Gu mohan knew why she had such a reaction and did not try to persuade her. He just sighed helplessly.


    Although everyone knew that what happened just now was just an accident, ye zhiqiao was a woman after all, and it would definitely be uncomfortable for this to happen. It was not the best time to persuade her or comfort her now, so it was better to give her time to calm down.


    While giving ye zhiqiao time to calm down, gu mohan thought to himself about one thing: it seemed time to take ye zhiqiao home.


    Although the relationship between him and ye zhiqiao was not clear, both of them had already expressed their feelings for each other very clearly, and although ye zhiqiao did not admit it, xiao bao was indeed their child. Now, the only thing to do is to take ye zhiqiao home to see his parents, then find a good day to do things, give her a proper identity, after the dust settled, she can also suffer less.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan nodded his head affirmatively and looked into the distant eyes full of tenderness.


    However, gu mohan''s eyes could not be seen from ye zhiqiao''s angle. She looked up and saw only gu mohan''s cold, hard chin and tight skin. He never looked at her again after lowering his head just now.


    A man likes a woman, but just now he saw that woman being pressed down by another man, as if... A normal reaction would be angry.


    Ye zhiqiao puffed her mouth and took a deep breath. Although she had not come out of the shadows yet, she had better coax gu mohan first.


    "Cough..." She coughed softly to attract gu mohan''s attention. When the latter subconsciously lowered her head, she quickly whispered, "I''m sorry."


    Gu mohan was stunned and asked, "Hmm? What did you say?"


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and pursed her lips. She made up her mind and said again, "Yes... I''m sorry, it was my fault just now."


    In this review, Mohan made sure he heard clearly. Ye zhiqiao was apologizing to him, but why did she apologize?


    "I''m the one who should apologize. I''m sorry." Gu mohan tossed her up and held her more firmly." I didn''t take good care of you," he continued." I shouldn''t have left on my own. I should have been by your side."


    "I... No... You..." Ye zhiqiao was tongue-tied and did not know how to respond for a moment.


    Gu mohan asked painfully, "Are you scared? You saw a dark shadow first, and then something like that happened. Although you should be much braver than jian mengqi, you must have panicked too, right?"


    "... Ye zhiqiao nodded her head solemnly. She didn''t want to worry gu mohan, but what gu mohan said really moved her and unconsciously wanted to rely on him.


    At that time, she was more than just flustered. When she realized that her body was not right, she almost walked to the door trembling with her hands and feet. When she was hit by yi chen, her heart was like a drum beating.


    The moment he saw gu mohan, all the panic and fear was immediately replaced by peace of mind.


    When I saw him, I felt at ease.

 Chapter 187 Hidden Treasure

    As they walked towards the apartment, they chatted until gu mohan pressed the button on the lower floor of the elevator. Ye zhiqiao asked doubtfully, "Aren''t we going upstairs?"


    "Yeah, let''s go to the hospital first."


    To the hospital?


    Ye zhiqiao thought of the abnormality just now, and then said with some embarrassment, "It''s all right now. Just let the wind blow after you come out. Can we not go to the hospital?"


    "What?" Gu mohan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "No, I didn''t mean that. Your feet..."


    He raised his chin at ye zhiqiao''s feet and asked, "Are you hurt again?"


    "Uh-"


    Ye zhiqiao shut her mouth and stopped talking. She must have hurt her foot. When she held the table and walked towards the door, she was too anxious to take care of the wound. In addition, she was knocked by the door by yi chen. She subconsciously exerted force on her foot, and the soles of her feet were stinging.


    Seeing her reaction, gu mohan knew what was going on. He didn''t blame her for not knowing how to take care of himself as usual. Instead, he gently put her in the passenger seat.


    The two of them arrived at the hospital and received the doctor in the afternoon.


    The doctor was a middle-aged man, wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses, and looked professional and serious. In the afternoon, he saw that ye zhi had accidentally injured the soles of her feet, and the wounds were small and many. At that time, the boss was not happy to say, "You young people are careless, this injury is not your own feet? Didn''t you know how to hide when you made the first cut? I can''t believe I made so many. Take a look. This one, this one is the deepest and most easily infected, don''t you know?"


    Ye zhiqiao was recalling the scene when a professional and serious doctor began a new round of reprimands.


    "What the hell is going on?!"


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan followed his voice and saw that he had just opened the third layer of gauze and could already see the sticky red blood inside.


    "This is..."


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to explain, the doctor had interrupted angrily and criticized seriously, "Come on, what else can I say? Tell me about this girl..."


    He took a deep breath at ye zhiqiao. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of gu mohan, who was standing beside him with a worried face. He changed the direction of his words and said, "You said that you, a young man, must be in your twenties. You don''t even know how to take care of people? What did I tell you a few hours ago? Huh? You sent me back in less than half a day?"


    "I..." Gu mohan looked at the doctor innocently for a long time, but was finally defeated by the other party''s almost spitting eyes. He lowered his head and said, "I''m sorry, it''s my fault."


    "You know how to apologize?" The doctor glared at him, "What''s the use of apologizing? Can it stop bleeding or be used as an anesthetic?"


    "Ah!"


    When the doctor spoke, he disinfected ye zhiqiao again. The irritating liquid touched the wound. The feeling was really... Painful beyond words! Ye zhiqiao cried out in pain in her conditioned reflex.


    Seeing this, gu mohan asked the doctor again, "Be gentle, be gentle..."


    "He''s also commanding me. Don''t I know to be a little lighter?" The doctor asked unhappily, "If you take good care of her, will you be punished twice now?"


    "..." Gu mohan choked on him and began a new round of apologies." I''m sorry, I''m sorry, my fault, I didn''t take good care of it...


    Ten minutes later, the doctor wrapped ye zhiqiao''s foot into a dumpling with gauze again, and then told gu mohan with great worry, "This time I wrapped her a little thicker. It''s not good for her recovery, but there''s no way. Who told you not to take it seriously? I can only do this so that the patient doesn''t get any worse."


    You did everything right. Gu mohan muttered in his heart, but nodded meekly.


    The doctor saw that he had a good attitude, and his expression softened a little. He patiently repeated the doctor''s instructions, "Everything else is easy to say, but you must not get wet, step on the ground, or open the gauze without permission. Remember?"


    Gu mohan nodded again, then thanked the doctor with a sharp tongue and a beancurd heart, and carried ye zhiqiao out of the hospital.


    The two of them went out for a long time, worried that little treasure would be hungry, so on the way back, gu mohan drove very fast.


    When he opened the door, his eyes widened.


    Inside the house... How did this happen?! The problem arose in both minds.


    The clean and orderly rooms that were left were now in a mess as if they had experienced a world war. Tables, chairs, refrigerators, flowerpots... Everything was moved, magazines, clothes, decorations were all on the table, and even the shoes in the shoe cabinet at the door rolled out several...


    What happened? Is it little treasure? No way, little treasure would never play such a prank, and a five-year-old child would never ruin the room like this.


    Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other uneasily, then said together, "Little treasure? Little treasure!"


    Gu mohan put ye zhiqiao on the sofa and was about to go to the bedroom to take a look, but when he looked up, he was startled by a small furry head that appeared in the crack of the sofa.


    "Little treasure?" He asked in surprise.


    Ye zhiqiao followed his voice and looked right at the pair of smiling eyes that little treasure had just revealed.


    "Why are you here?" As ye zhiqiao asked, she reached out and picked up little treasure. The little girl''s face and clothes were covered in dust. She quickly cleaned it up with her hands.


    Little treasure hung in ye zhiqiao''s arms like an octopus, and his usual soft voice made the two adults break out in cold sweat.


    "Someone I didn''t know came in just now. They wanted to take me away. I was so scared that I wanted to hide in the crack of the sofa, but they really didn''t find me."


    Ye zhiqiao pulled up little treasure and looked into her eyes nervously and asked, "What?! Someone''s taking you away? Who is it?"


    Little treasure shook his head in confusion, "I don''t know."


    Gu mohan sat down next to her with a serious face. He touched her head and then asked ye zhiqiao, "Did you see if the person who came in was an uncle or an aunt? Have you ever seen one of them?"


    "... There are uncles, but I don''t know if there are aunts" ... Little treasure grabbed his soft fingers and thought about it for a long time before continuing, "I heard someone knock on the door, but dad and aunt ye have keys. I thought you forgot to bring them and wanted to open the door, but I just ran to the sofa and heard the door open, and uncle''s voice that I haven''t heard before."


    What I haven''t heard of is definitely someone I don''t know.

 Chapter 188 Leave It All to Me

    "So you hid here?"


    Little treasure withdrew into ye zhiqiao''s arms and nodded.


    "You did the right thing." Gu mohan patted her head again and encouraged her. It seemed to be very effective to watch some safety education movies with children, at least in today''s situation, she would know how to protect herself.


    Ye zhiqiao thought carefully about what little treasure had just said and asked doubtfully, "How did little treasure know they were coming to take you away?"


    After her reminder, gu mohan also thought of this: "Did they see you?" Immediately, he denied his speculation. The intruder was definitely not friendly. If he really saw little treasure, then little treasure would never be here now.


    Sure enough, little treasure shook his head and said, "I didn''t see it. I hid it quickly. I heard them looking around the house and saying they wanted to take the children in the house. I was the only child in this house."


    "They didn''t find you, so they turned the room like this?" Gu mohan asked.


    "Yes." Little treasure looked at him and asked, "Daddy, are you and aunt ye coming back from somewhere else? I heard them say your car came over and ran away, but you don''t have to drive to aunt jane''s company."


    Gu mohan listened patiently to little treasure finish these words, then took her from ye zhiqiao''s arms, rubbed her head with his minibus, and said happily, "Yes, you guessed right, good baby."


    He was so glad that he had such a smart daughter, so thoughtful and sensible that he could immediately think of ways to protect himself when he was in danger, sometimes even more alert than an adult.


    But the more clever little treasure was, the less he felt as a father, or rather, scared.


    Just now, when he saw the messy room, he was completely stunned. When he called his daughter twice but didn''t get an answer, his head gave a "Bang," as if something had exploded.


    If it wasn''t for the sofa that was a little away from the wall, if it wasn''t for little treasure''s thin body, if they hadn''t come back in time, the man who broke in moved the sofa... All sorts of possibilities, the consequences he couldn''t imagine.


    Seeing his eyes staring straight at the crack of the sofa, ye zhiqiao immediately understood what he was thinking, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.


    What gu mohan was afraid of was not what she was afraid of. To her, little treasure was more than her family. If something happened to little treasure, she could not imagine what would happen to her.


    Everything that happened tonight was too strange. Although it looked like a false alarm so far and there was no other disaster except for her foot injury, she could not help but panic at the thought that someone was secretly eyeing her and her children.


    In two or three hours, the mood of the three of them had changed dramatically. The original warm and happy mood was shrouded in a cloud, making it impossible to even force a smile.


    Sensing that the atmosphere was too low, gu mohan leaned over to hold ye zhiqiao''s hand and said comfortingly, "Don''t worry too much. It''s all over. I''ve already sent someone to investigate today''s matter. Leave the rest to me."


    "Mengqi..." Ye zhiqiao frowned and said slowly, "Mengqi will never harm me. The first call must have been weird. Do you want me to help you..."


    "No." Gu mohan looked at her with a serious face and said in a serious tone, "You don''t need to do anything. As long as you and little treasure are happy, what you do is the best help for me."


    Ye zhiqiao looked back at him and nodded gently for a long time.


    She knew what mo han was thinking, and today''s events would certainly have no less impact on him than on her, but he was a man, and there were many emotions that could not be expressed as recklessly as her. He was worried about her and little treasure''s situation, but he didn''t want her and little treasure to worry as much as he did, so what she could do now was to try not to cause trouble for him, and to give him the greatest degree of tolerance and support.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and saw that little treasure''s round eyes, which were nestled in gu mohan''s arms, were half narrowed. She was clearly very sleepy, but she didn''t seem to want to close her eyes. She took the little girl over and asked softly, "Is little treasure sleepy? Can auntie take you to sleep?"


    "En... Okay..." Little treasure''s expression seemed a little reluctant, and after a while he asked ye zhiqiao, "How about aunt ye and little treasure sleep together? Little treasure wants you to sleep with him."


    "Well, aunt ye was going to sleep with little treasure."


    Ye zhiqiao carried little treasure back to the bedroom, pulled the quilt over the two people, and patted her back regularly with her palm.


    Although little treasure was smart, he was also a five-year-old child. It was normal for him to be afraid of what happened just now, but in order not to worry the adults, he always narrowed his eyes and smiled in the living room, pretending that he was fine.


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She whispered, "Little treasure, go to bed. Tomorrow morning, aunt ye will make you a vegetable porridge with lots and lots of shrimps. When aunt ye''s feet are ready in two days, let''s go to the amusement park with dad, okay?"


    "Really? Okay..." Little treasure scratched his nose and muttered, "I''m going to buy that colorful cotton candy, it''s soft and sweet..."


    With that, the little guy swallowed and licked his lips in a daze.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled gently and patted her, "Then you must sleep well. Don''t think about anything. Auntie is here with you. Dad is out protecting us. Any big bad guy will be beaten away."


    "... Yeah."


    Little treasure vaguely agreed in his half-asleep state, and his fingers, which had been gripping ye zhiqiao''s clothes, slowly loosened.


    In a few minutes, the soft and tender little guy had already fallen asleep sweetly with his big fluffy bear in his arms.


    Ye zhi got out of bed with light hands and feet, put the quilt back on her, then opened the door and went back to the living room.


    Gu mohan was still waiting there. Seeing that ye zhiqiao had come out without any accident, he pointed to the bedroom and asked, "Are you asleep?"


    "Asleep." Ye zhiqiao agreed and sat down beside gu mohan. She opened her mouth several times, but she still didn''t say what she should say.


    Just when gu mohan thought that tonight would be an exception, ye zhiqiao finally cheered up and said, "Go back and rest."


    No matter how late it was, ye zhiqiao would not leave him at home for the night. This apartment was different from gu mohan''s villa. In the villa, she stayed to take care of little treasure, but in the apartment, gu mohan had no reason to stay.

 Chapter 189 Jian Mengqis Suspicion

    "... Okay." Gu mohan agreed, but did not move.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and fiddled with the pillow on the sofa. Her heart was in a mess, but she did not speak again.


    She didn''t want gu mohan to leave. This was the truest thought. She liked him, wanted to stay with him, even live with him, and couldn''t bear to let him go.


    But she was also a very strict person. Although she had lived abroad for five years, the traditional way of education in her childhood had penetrated her bone marrow. She could not do such a thing without a certain relationship.


    At this time, gu mohan was also in a state of turmoil. He was not only reluctant to leave ye zhiqiao, but also worried. After he left, there was only one woman and one child left in the house. If anything happened again, he wouldn''t even have time to rush over. But he knew ye zhiqiao, and he could understand her insistence.


    Because he understood, he didn''t want to force it.


    Gu mohan stood up and put on his coat as he instructed her, "Remember what the doctor said, don''t get wet and don''t walk around on the ground." As he spoke, he sighed to himself, "You love cleanliness so much that you won''t sleep unless you take a bath. But you can take a bath. Remember to put the leg wrapped in gauze outside the bathtub and wash it roughly."


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded in agreement.


    Gu mohan walked to the door and thought of something, "I will send more people here to protect you. Don''t be afraid when you see it, but don''t open the door if you don''t know anyone."


    "I know!" Ye zhiqiao pushed him out and pretended to be dissatisfied, "Do you think I don''t even have little treasure''s vigilance?"


    Hearing this, gu mohan raised his lips and smiled. He nodded her forehead and said, "If I know you have it, I will leave."


    "Yes, goodbye."


    Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and helplessly tilted his head, turning to walk towards the elevator in the middle of the corridor.


    It was not until his back in the warm light completely disappeared on the raised wall that ye zhiqiao closed the door.


    According to caretaker Mohan, she just took a quick bath and went back to bed to sleep.


    But she didn''t sleep well that night.


    She had something on her mind and couldn''t even sleep peacefully. In her dream, she carried a big backpack and ran around some unknown mountain and forest all night. Just as she finished the whole run and was about to lie down to rest, the deafening bell suddenly exploded in her ears.


    "Mm-hmm."


    She groaned and opened her eyes reluctantly, only to find that it was already daybreak. In her dream, she heard the death ring from her cell phone on the nightstand.


    The phone was still shaking and shaking. She picked it up and answered it. A louder voice came through her eardrums, "Zhiqiao, are you okay?! I am jian mengqi, really jian mengqi!!"


    Ye zhiqiao took the phone away and looked at the caller id, then put it to her ear to listen to the voice on the other side. After a long time, she asked dully, "Are you stupid? Of course I know you''re jian mengqi."


    "Oh no!" Jian mengqi said quickly and nervously, "I heard from my employee when I came to the company this morning. He said that someone pretended to be me and called him, and he also called you. Later, gu mohan called me to ask me about last night, but I really don''t know anything. I swear I definitely didn''t drink or break a piece!"


    Hearing her urgent roaring voice, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but want to laugh, but she comforted her, "We all believe you. There''s no need to explain."


    Jian mengqi "Cut" a voice: "Of course I know you believe me, you dare not believe it try?! But... What happened last night was so weird. I checked the surveillance immediately after I called gu mohan this morning, but guess what?"


    Her tone gradually became hesitant. Ye zhiqiao also took a breath and asked, "How is it?"


    "The surveillance, someone else cut it off." Said jian mengqi slowly.


    "...


    For a moment, neither of them spoke again. From the faint breathing sounds that came from each other through the electric current, it could be seen that their hearts had already become heavy with the words that jian mengqi had just said.


    The surveillance was cut off, and last night''s incident was beyond investigation. Even if the suspect was found in the future, there was no evidence to prove it.


    And a company''s monitoring room is definitely a confidential place, a person casually, can... Be tampered with?


    After hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao got up and took care of little treasure after washing up and eating, then sat in the living room to play, but from beginning to end, she was full of worries.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang.


    She walked over to open the door and carefully looked through the cat''s eyes for a long time before she opened the door. Only when she saw that it was jian mengqi did she open the door with ease.


    When she saw jian mengqi carrying a few bags in her hand, ye zhiqiao asked in surprise, "How did you know you brought something here? So much more?"


    "See, see, do you understand?" Jian mengqi put the fruit on the coffee table and squeezed her eyes at little treasure, making the latter giggle. Then she said to ye zhiqiao, "Although I didn''t do what happened yesterday, I mixed it up after all, so I brought something to see you to express my... Hmm... Sympathy?"


    Ye zhiqiao poured her a glass of juice and said wordlessly, "Thank you for your sympathy."


    Jian mengqi was also embarrassed by her language level, so she quickly changed the topic.


    She pulled ye zhiqiao to sit down and then said, "Actually, I have something else I want to tell you, which is mine... Even if I doubt it, you know that my brain sometimes reacts slowly, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become."


    Hearing the word "Doubt" coming out of jian mengqi''s mouth, ye zhiqiao was surprised again, but seeing that jian mengqi looked serious and seemed not to be joking, she couldn''t help but ask, "What''s the matter?"


    "About... The studio."


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart thumped. Since last night, when she heard about jian mengqi''s studio, she was subconsciously nervous, because in her current understanding, the studio could almost be equated to the haunted house.


    Jian mengqi frowned slightly and slowly said what she had been thinking about all morning, "I always feel that the studio has been a little strange recently, but I can''t say what is strange, because in terms of performance and development, it''s still the same as before, but like yesterday, I can''t stop thinking."


    "Zhiqiao..." Jian mengqi tilted her head to look at ye zhiqiao and said hesitantly, "You said that the person could imitate me to call you, and make you not hear anything unusual, and then quietly cut off the surveillance. The staff only found out this morning that the person was quite resourceful."

 Chapter 190 To See the Parents

    "Great power?"


    "Yes." Jian mengqi nodded and simply said her suspicions directly, "If it wasn''t for the great power, then this person would probably be someone in my studio, because only this identity would allow her to have the opportunity to learn my voice and tone of speech, and at the same time have the opportunity to manipulate the surveillance." !!!


    Ye zhiqiao looked at jian mengqi incredulously.


    She didn''t expect that her words would come true. She had just said that jian mengqi''s studio was like a haunted house, but now there could really be such an inner ghost?!


    "Are you sure?" Ye zhiqiao asked with her eyes wide open.


    Jian mengqi was so angry that she shook her head and said, "I doubt it. I really doubt it, but you know me. If it wasn''t for my liking, I wouldn''t be able to enter my studio. So now if I were to say who I suspect, I... Ai..."


    She was a person who believed in intuition and was also an impatient person. She believed that if the studio was weird, she would not easily give up on this idea, but for her employees, she gave 100 % trust and would not casually accuse others.


    Since she couldn''t figure it out, ye zhiqiao couldn''t force her to do it either, but there was a priority, and now someone was eyeing them from behind. As long as there was a clue, they couldn''t give up easily.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and asked jian mengqi, "Can I tell gu mohan about your suspicions?"


    Gu mohan wouldn''t let her get involved in this matter. If she agreed, she wouldn''t go back on her word, so she would only inform him of all the information she got, but she wouldn''t act on her own.


    Of course, jian mengqi wouldn''t have any objections.


    Ye zhiqiao called gu mohan directly.


    "Are you busy?" Ye zhiqiao asked first.


    Gu mohan had just finished the meeting and was a little tired from not sleeping well last night, but he still perked up and replied, "No, I''m just finished. If you have anything to say, just say it."


    "Yeah." Ye zhi happened to look at jian mengqi and then said, "The surveillance in mengqi''s studio has been cut off. Everything that happened last night has not been recorded, and mengqi now suspects... That there is a ghost in the studio."


    Doubt? Eighty percent of the time, it could be a mole!


    These things gu mohan had found out a few hours ago. Not only did he find out, but he also ran the whole thing through and through, and the result was almost the same as that of jian mengqi.


    However, although he knew, gu mohan was still very satisfied that ye zhiqiao had taken the initiative to inform him that no one was secretly investigating this behavior, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Her studio surveillance is gone? I was thinking of getting my assistant to check it out, but I don''t think it''s necessary now."


    "That mole..." Ye zhiqiao wanted to ask gu mohan what he thought.


    Gu mohan pondered for a moment and then said, "Since jian mengqi has noticed something, I will definitely follow this investigation. Don''t worry. And... I''m really glad you told me that."


    She was willing to tell him, not to worry him, that he could receive all these subtle thoughts.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly and pretended not to understand, "What''s so happy about this..."


    Gu mohan smiled heartily, then changed the subject: "The company will be fine in the afternoon. I want to take little treasure back to my parents'' house. Can you come with me?"


    "Eh?!"


    His topic changed too fast and too much. It took ye zhi a long time to find her voice and asked, "You take little treasure home. What am I... Doing?"


    Go home?


    When jian mengqi heard this, she quickly came over with a gossipy face. What else did she look like just now?


    Gu mohan on the other end of the phone was still in a brisk voice, "I invited you to my house. Our relationship... I saw your mother a long time ago. Shouldn''t you come and see my parents too?"


    "We... What''s our relationship?" After hearing his words, ye zhiqiao''s face turned red instantly, and her palm holding the phone was wet.


    Gu mohan chuckled, as if he could see ye zhiqiao''s current embarrassment, but he still said bluntly, "I think our relationship... Can be directly accepted.


    Ahhh!!


    Jian mengqi grabbed ye zhiqiao''s arm at the other end and shook it wildly. She said in her heart, "Wow! Master gu is different from others. Even flirting is so fresh and free from vulgarity. It''s really... It''s really a bit handsome!!"


    Ye zhi happened to be dizzy from her shaking and said to her phone in a hurry, "Wait a minute!"


    Then he covered his phone and whispered to jian mengqi, "What should I do? I... How... What should I do?"


    "Hiss - why are you stuttering? This is a great thing. You and gu mohan are finally going to get it right. You are finally going to be a married woman before me. What an exciting thing!!"


    "Hey... Calm down... Calm down..." Ye zhiqiao looked at jian mengqi, who was more excited than her client, and said bitterly, "These eight words are still a skim. Why are you so excited?"


    Jian mengqi slapped her silly head and scolded, "Are you stupid? Don''t you just leave today?"


    "You mean... I really want to go?"


    "Don''t you want to go?"


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and wrinkled her face. It took a long time for her to say, "I want to go, but..."


    "Stop!" Jian mengqi interrupted ye zhiqiao''s words, then said, "It''s enough to want to go. I know you''re struggling because you''re nervous, but ugly daughter-in-law will see her parents-in-law sooner or later, and die sooner or later."


    Hearing her finish, ye zhiqiao''s face became even uglier. It was a good thing, how did it change its taste in her mouth?


    Jian mengqi also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and immediately changed her voice, "Besides, you are so beautiful and elegant. The gu family has to spend a few lifetimes to marry you as a daughter-in-law!"


    The more he talked, the more ridiculous he became. Ye zhiqiao simply asked her, "Do you really think I can go?"


    Jian mengqi nodded solemnly, then blinked her eyes and said, "Not only can I go, but I will dress you up like a celestial being, so as to kill the gu family in a second..."


    Before she could continue to spout nonsense, ye zhiqiao had picked up the phone that showed "Talking" again and asked softly, "Are you still listening?"


    The other immediately replied, "I''m here."


    Ye zhiqiao curved her lips and smiled, "I''ll clean up with little treasure and wait for you to come back to pick us up."

 Chapter 191 Dad Was a Little Silly

    Although jian mengqi was basically a terrible talker, she was very talented in matching clothes and makeup. Ye zhiqiao usually did not put on makeup. Although she had some ideas about clothes, because of the next trip, this idea had all disappeared.


    Looking at her nervous face, jian mengqi knew that it was impossible to count on her. She was so excited that she was busy picking out clothes and getting her hair done. She circled around her.


    "Little treasure, how many turns have you made? If you get dizzy again, come to aunt ye..."


    "Ye zhiqiao!!"


    Just as ye zhi qiao was halfway through her speech, she was interrupted by jian mengqi who rushed out of the bathroom. Jian mengqi said angrily, "I told you ten thousand times not to talk when you put on the mask!"


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao obediently closed her mouth when she heard this. She looked at little treasure with her mouth closed and sighed silently.


    Jian mengqi was not going to let her see her parents, she clearly wanted to send her directly to the wedding as a bride.


    It makes sense that facial masks can''t talk, but not eating lunch is to keep your tummy from sticking out. She never had a stomach, okay? Even so, why would a guest have to wear a floor-to-ceiling gown, or the kind that flashes in the light?


    In this regard, jian mengqi''s explanation was: "Of course, it''s better for girls to wear skirts when they go out, but you''re not going to meet ordinary people. That''s gu mohan''s parents, your future parents-in-law. It has to be formal and not too revealing. This skirt is good, and it covers all of her legs. It looks more conservative. Of course, I''m also skeptical about the possible consequences of this skirt."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned to hear her finish. After a long time, she pointed at the closet in the bedroom and said, "There is a light green skirt in it. The skirt is placed in the position of the calf. It is very conservative. Most importantly, it doesn''t look like a psychopath."


    "..." Jian mengqi smiled apologetically and quickly changed her dress


    After choosing the clothes and shoes, the most important step was to make up.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t like makeup, and any light makeup on her face would make her feel suffocated. Except for important occasions, she usually only put on light makeup, but today, jian mengqi firmly rejected her idea.


    "Although your facial features are very good and your skin is tender and your lips are red, you can never show your best appearance without careful modification. Today, you can rest assured that you will hand yourself over to me, the great and simple makeup artist, to ensure that it will not be worse than the professional makeup artist in your entertainment circle."


    Jian mengqi combined the color of ye zhiqiao''s dress and shoes to give her a more elegant makeup, but when choosing lipstick, she chose a more lively color, so that she could neutralize her temperament, not appear too cold and old-fashioned.


    After all, ye zhiqiao stood in front of the full-body mirror and looked at her appearance. She also felt that jian mengqi''s combination was very good, bright but not revealing, fresh but not childish, elegant but not monotonous. In short, the more she looked, the more comfortable she felt.


    This point could also be verified by gu Mohan''s reaction when he saw ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan was stunned when he saw ye zhiqiao. He didn''t know what to say to ye zhiqiao in front of him. Although he liked ye zhiqiao and liked this person more than just his appearance, he could still feel his heart beating involuntarily when he suddenly saw ye zhiqiao looking completely new, as if she was shining from the inside out.


    And today ye zhiqiao was so beautiful, it was all for him, to see his parents to leave a good impression, so he dressed carefully, which for gu mohan, was more gratifying than visual satisfaction.


    Gu mohan thought that ye zhiqiao had made such great efforts for this meeting, and he must work hard to make ye zhiqiao leave a good impression in front of his parents. After all, in the future, they will spend more and more time together.


    He was in a daze for a long time and his eyes were good. Ye zhiqiao gradually became embarrassed and didn''t know where to put her hands. Finally, she couldn''t help but remind him, "When are we going to go over? Is it time to leave?"


    Hearing her voice, gu mohan finally regained his senses and cleared his throat awkwardly. Then he replied, "If you''re done packing, we''ll go over now. The car isn''t in the garage. It''s downstairs."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao agreed, picked up little treasure and was about to walk out. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned around and said, "I''ll stop when I pass by the gift shop later. For the first time, I have to buy some gifts for uncle and aunt."


    "No, I already bought it."


    Gu mohan led them downstairs, went to the car and opened the trunk, "These are for them. You don''t know what they like, so I should buy them to their liking. You won''t be unhappy if I do this, will you?"


    The more he talked, the less confident he became, because ye zhiqiao belonged to a more independent person. His intention was to be good for her, but he was still afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw that he looked very careful and laughed out loud. She asked him, "Am I that scary? You helped me finish all these time-consuming and laborious things. I can''t thank you enough. Will you still be angry?"


    Hearing this, gu mohan also laughed.


    In fact, ye zhiqiao was nervous, and how could he not be nervous? After all, this was a big marriage event. Although no matter how his parents'' attitude was, he would never change his mind to spend the whole life with ye zhiqiao, but they were his parents after all.


    With a smile, he opened the door for ye zhiqiao and closed it after she sat down safely with little treasure in her arms. Then he walked around the front of the car and sat down on the other side. He fastened his seat belt and started the car.


    Even this series of familiar movements was especially exciting today.


    Little treasure seemed to understand what was going to happen next, and he was very happy along the way. He would lie down on the window to see the scenery, then bury himself in ye zhiqiao''s arms to peek at gu mohan''s big grin. Finally, he simply whispered in ye zhiqiao''s ear, "Auntie ye, do you think dad seems a little silly today?"


    "..." Ye zhiqiao stifled her smile and turned her head to look at gu mohan quickly. Then she imitated what little treasure had looked like just now and whispered into little treasure''s ear," your father has always been very silly. Today - especially.

 Chapter 192 A Series of Car Accidents

    Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao laughed and made a scene. Gu mohan, who was driving, was attracted by their voices. He quickly looked down and asked, "What are you two whispering about?"


    "I won''t tell you, it''s a secret!" One big voice and one small voice said in unison.


    "Heh -" gu mohan curled his lips and laughed.


    He loosened his right hand, which was holding the steering wheel, and reached out to touch ye zhiqiao''s head, but at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the front!


    "Gu mohan!!" Ye zhiqiao glared and screamed, pointing her index finger forward.


    Of course, gu mohan had already seen two private cars coming out of nowhere bumping into each other a few meters in front of their car, and the sound was still very intense.


    But he was driving at a moderate speed, and he had been looking at the road ahead, and did not notice any signs of collision between the two cars, so although he slammed on the brakes for a while, it was impossible to stop immediately.


    "Close your eyes and lean back!!"


    A few seconds was enough for him to say that, and then the white car he was driving slid toward the two cars together with a screeching sound of brakes.


    "Bang -" was neither too big nor too small.


    Ye zhiqiao just reacted in time and protected little treasure in her arms, but she fell forward because she had no protective measures. Fortunately, gu mohan reached out to stop her, so that she wouldn''t hit the platform.


    "Are you okay?" Gu mohan steadied himself and asked, holding ye zhiqiao''s shoulder.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head, then turned to look at him, and said with fear, "It''s okay... The car in front of me... Eh, little treasure..."


    She suddenly remembered little treasure in her arms and was about to take him out of her arms to see if he was hurt. Suddenly -


    Bang!!!"


    There was another loud noise, and the whole body shook violently, then the front cover of the car was lifted slightly.


    This time, the source of the impact came from behind the car.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had both turned their heads to look at each other just now, and a sudden violent impact behind them made them unable to control their bodies at all, even without the time to react, and under the influence of inertia, they rushed towards the car window together.


    What hit them was a small pickup truck.


    The pickup truck driver jumped out of the car and trotted to the white car. He looked through the driver''s window with his hands folded on both sides of his eyes and saw that the people inside were not moving, so he nodded in relief.


    Then he ran to the side of the road, found a place where no one was, took out his cell phone and made a phone call.


    "Is everything done?" The man opposite asked in a deep voice.


    The driver "Hehe" laughed twice, then said, "It''s all done, president shen. They don''t know what''s going on, and they can''t get away from it. They went straight to the two cars in front of them. From behind, I saw that there seemed to be some movement in the car, so I drove the car into it again. Just now, I came closer to see that the people inside were all down. You can rest assured that they all came according to your request."


    Shen Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief and raised his voice a lot, "Well done, didn''t it leave any flaws?"


    "Don''t worry, president shen. It''s so ordinary that it can''t be another ordinary traffic accident. No one will doubt how many accidents happen in the whole country every day."


    "Well, that''s good."


    "Hehe..." The driver laughed dryly. "Tsk," he said, "President shen, then this payment..."


    "I''ll call you in two hours."


    "Thank you, president shen. You''re so happy. You can talk if you need anything in the future. I promise I''ll be there anytime." The driver said obsequiously.


    Shen Qingyuan said "Yes," then hung up.


    He made an emergency call, then picked up the nutrition and gifts on the table, opened the door and went downstairs.


    As he walked, he was secretly proud in his heart: hmph, the olive branch that you threw out voluntarily is too cold for gu mo to accept, then don''t blame me for using some tricks. What I, shen Qingyuan, want to do is nothing that I can''t do. How dare you threaten me? We''ll see! This time, how can you be so arrogant?


    Shen Qingyuan was driving to the hospital, and he had not forgotten to call shen monong on the way.


    Shen munong was busy over there, so he picked up the phone and immediately said, "Dad, what''s the matter with you? I have a show to attend next, and now I have to put on my makeup in advance."


    "What is a program? Listen to dad. Come to the city hospital right now." Shen Qingyuan''s tone was full of uncontrollable excitement.


    "Are you sick?" Shen mo nong asked quickly.


    "No, I can''t explain it in a few words over the phone. Anyway, it''s a good thing. Come quickly and make sure it''s more useful than you participating in ten or eight programs!"


    What good could it be in the hospital? However, since shen Qingyuan had said so, shen molong hesitated for a moment and replied, "Well, I... Will go now."


    Shen monong did not know what shen Qingyuan had called her, but shen Qingyuan had always loved her daughter, so she believed that as long as what he said made sense, she immediately went to her agent to discuss dropping the show.


    The manager was so excited that he almost jumped up and asked in a high voice, "Discuss? Are you talking to me? Auntie, do you know how much time and connections I spent talking about this program? You were the one who said that ye zhi happened to be promoted as soon as she debuted, and you were not satisfied with it. Now that I have found this opportunity for you, you told me to turn it off?!"


    Hmph! It was obviously a relationship that shen Qingyuan had just sought out for his sake, but now it sounds good! While changing, shen mo nong secretly complained, but she didn''t show it on her face. She still apologized with a smile, "I''m sorry, sister. This is the only time. I''m sorry to trouble you."


    The manager looked at her angrily and said, "Just this once. Can I tell the investor that he can listen? You''re an artist, not a lady. Do you think this show is a dinner party? When the company and the investors blame you, I won''t be able to carry this thunder for you."


    Shen monong hated it when people mentioned her identity. Although it was no longer a secret in the circle that shen Qingyuan was her father, no one had ever looked her in the eye and looked down upon her as an illegitimate daughter. But who said that she was not the eldest miss? She was the daughter of the president of the Shen shi company. She was born to be the eldest miss.


    "It''s all my decision, and it''s all my fault. It''s none of your business, okay?"


    Shen mocheng rolled his eyes, then took his handbag and flung the door behind him.


    The manager muttered behind him, "How hard to serve!"

 Chapter 193 Misunderstanding the Savior

    Shen mo rushed to the hospital in a hurry. He was still holding his breath because of the manager''s words. When he saw shen Qingyuan waiting at the door of the emergency room, he immediately walked up and asked, "Dad, what''s the matter? You have to come to me in a hurry."


    Shen Qingyuan patted the seat beside her to let her sit down first, then pointed to the emergency room and asked, "Do you know who is lying inside?"


    "I don''t know." Shen monong replied in a bad mood.


    "It''s gu mohan and ye zhiqiao." Shen Qingyuan said with deep meaning.


    "What?!" Shen mo nong suddenly stood up from his seat and asked in a loud voice, "Why are they? You... Why did you ask me to come and see them?!"


    The nurses who passed by cast dissatisfied glances in their direction. Shen Qingyuan quickly pulled shen mo to sit down and said with a calm face, "Lower your voice. What''s wrong with letting you see them? You don''t just have to look, you have to wait here for them to come out."


    "Why should I?" Shen monong asked with a frown.


    She always remembered what happened in the dressing room last time. Although she liked gu mohan, gu mohan''s attitude at that time was really hateful. Even if she could forgive him, but what was ye zhiqiao? Why was she waiting for ye zhiqiao here?!


    "You don''t understand, do you?" Shen Qingyuan taught her a lesson with a straight face, then patiently explained to her, "Don''t you already know who gu mohan is? Then how can you be childish again? Being able to connect with someone like gu mohan is good for the Shen shi and good for yourself. Everything else has to make way for this."


    "But ye zhiqiao..."


    Shen Qingyuan patted her hand and comforted her, "Ye zhiqiao, right? I know, she''s just a woman that gu mohan likes more now, so it won''t be a problem if it takes a long time. You don''t have to waste your time thinking about this. In the face of benefits, feelings and everything else are just clouds. As long as we have a good relationship with gu mohan, the rest will be easy to handle."


    "... Shen monong was still unhappy, but under his father''s persuasion, he decided to stay obediently.


    At this time, gu mohan''s parents also heard about gu mohan''s car accident and rushed over.


    As she walked towards the emergency room, Mrs. Gu frantically muttered to her father, "Tell me what happened to our Mohan recently. It was the second time in a series of accidents, wasn''t it? The same goes for the company, which had just made a big mistake a while ago and offended the su family before it was fixed. What''s wrong with that?"


    "What''s the use of saying this now?!" Father gu interrupted her in a deep voice and said unhappily, "It''s not that your son is not sensible. It''s no wonder someone else is responsible for the matter with the su family. If you want to blame him, blame yourself!"


    "Hey, how can you blame Mohan? Didn''t he not know about the engagement with yan yan? Besides, the culprit is the woman named ye... Ye zhiqiao. If she hadn''t pestered mo han, Mohan wouldn''t have..."


    As she spoke, Mrs. Gu suddenly noticed that her father''s footsteps had stopped. She stopped talking and followed his gaze to the door of the emergency room.


    Shen Qingyuan and shen monong were sitting on the lounge chair at the entrance of the emergency room next to a pile of gifts. They lowered their heads and did not know what to say.


    Shen Qingyuan felt something strange and turned around. Seeing that the person was gu father and gu mother, she immediately called shen monong to get up and walked to the two of them.


    "Hello, Mr. Gu. I am shen Qingyuan from the Shen shi. It''s an honor to meet you." Shen Qingyuan greeted her father first, shook her hand, and then said to her mother, "This is Mrs. Gu. I''ve seen her at the reception a few times before, but you probably don''t remember me as a nobody."


    Father gu glanced at the gift on the lounge chair again and said with an ugly face, "You''re welcome. I''m not the president of the gu family anymore. I''ve retired for a long time and can''t afford to call him'' president gu''."


    "This..." Father gu''s words could be said to be literally slapping his face. Shen Qingyuan did not understand when he had offended this old master gu, so his expression immediately became unnatural, "Master gu, I didn''t mean anything else, just..."


    "President shen just wanted to get close, didn''t he?" Mother gu added in a strange tone.


    Why was father gu angry? She knew, and she was unhappy.


    The reason was the pile of gifts.


    Their son, gu mohan, had just been in a car accident and was still lying in the emergency room. It was strange that someone could not resist flattering him at such a time. They were not angry!


    After listening to mother gu''s words, she saw her eyes directly on the gifts. Shen Qingyuan immediately understood the reason for their bad attitude and quickly explained, "Master gu, madam, you have misunderstood. I am not here to look for master gu to do something."


    Shen Qingyuan sighed and said, "I was at the scene when Mr. Gu was in a car accident. I was going to meet a client. I saw a few cars hit each other halfway. One of them looked familiar, so I stopped to take a look and found it was Mr. Gu. I called an ambulance immediately."


    "As for the gifts..." Shen Qingyuan pointed to the things on the lounge chair and smiled sheepishly, "It''s my daughter. When she heard that something happened to president gu, she clamored to come over and take a look. She didn''t expect to bring these things when she came. I''ve already scolded her. I don''t know what''s going on with president gu. There''s no reason to give gifts, but she insisted that he would be fine and eat when he wakes up."


    Gu father and gu mother looked at each other, their faces a little hung up.


    It turned out that they had misunderstood that shen Qingyuan not only didn''t come to see gu mohan for work, but also saved his benefactor. They had actually mocked and ridiculed this benefactor before!


    Father gu was a man, and it was not easy for her to change too quickly. Mother gu directly took shen monong''s hand and rubbed it in her palm, "Is this president shen''s daughter? He''s so handsome, and he speaks so well. Mohan will be safe with you."


    Shen mo nong nodded and smiled, while shen Qingyuan proudly said, "In fact, mo nong is not as good as his wife said. She is still an ignorant little girl, but she is especially concerned about the matter of president gu. I heard that in order to rush over, she deliberately rejected a famous program."


    A famous show?


    Mother gu immediately realized that shen mo nong was a star before her, and then exclaimed, "Well, mo nong is such a good child. I said how I feel close to him when I see him. I have seen him on tv before, but because he is more beautiful than on tv, I was momentarily blindfolded and did not react."

 Chapter 194 Mistaken Person

    Mother gu had been with father gu for decades, attending all kinds of scenes, big and small. She spoke very well in front of him. In a short time, the awkward atmosphere had been greatly improved by her in just a few words.


    Father gu also said to shen Qingyuan at the right time, "Thank you for your help with Mohan, brother shen. Find a time later. I must do it myself. Thank you for your help this time."


    Shen Qingyuan said politely, "You''re just taking it as a gesture. Besides, it''s my honor to help president gu."


    "You can''t say that. Help is help. We should be grateful." Gu''s mother smiled at shen molong and said, "Since molong has delayed the show because of Mohan, let''s find an investor and sign a notice for molong. If you want anything, molong can think it over before telling auntie."


    In announcing this matter, although shen monong certainly couldn''t be as soft as the other rich, powerful and legitimate second generation miss, she could not be as easy to handle as she pleased, but with the occasional help of shen Qingyuan, it was not a problem to maintain normal development, so the conditions of gu mother were not very attractive.


    However, shen Qingyuan was very happy to get his mother''s promise. At least, his plan today was not in vain. He took a big step forward from his ultimate goal.


    Thinking of this, shen Qingyuan patted shen monong and said, "Thank you, auntie gu. The notice she gave you must be much better than the one you rejected today. You are a fool. You have earned it!"


    "Oh!" Shen mo nong quickly and obediently thanked her mother.


    Shen Qingyuan looked at shen monong, who was chatting with his mother, and nodded secretly.


    Yesterday night, he was so angry about being threatened by gu mohan that he thought that if he really couldn''t cooperate with gu, he would just burn the stone and turn to work with the Yi''s and destroy gu completely.


    However, judging from the attitude of gu''s parents today, there is still a turning point in this matter, and he has to continue to work hard. After all, this time only with the gu''s united front, his degree of benefit is the greatest.


    The four of them were waiting outside the emergency room, and at this time, jian mengqi, who was in the office, also heard about the news of ye zhi''s accident.


    After leaving ye zhiqiao''s apartment, jian mengqi went straight back to the studio across the street and continued to investigate the strange things that happened last night. But not long after, she received a call from a friend.


    "Mengqi, is ye zhiqiao your best friend?" The friend asked first.


    The last time ye zhiqiao left alone, jian mengqi started the whole circle to inquire about ye zhiqiao, so their relationship was no longer a secret.


    Jian mengqi promised, "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    "Did you know she was in a car accident?"


    "What?!" Jian mengqi suddenly stood up and said, "Can you stop teasing me? I watched her go out." And the driver was gu mohan, and there was little treasure in the car. How could something have happened so carelessly?


    "It''s true, don''t you believe me? I just drove up the viaduct and saw it with my own eyes. Even the ambulance came." My friend said it with certainty.


    Jian mengqi''s lips tightened. She quickly hung up the phone and called ye zhiqiao, but no one answered. She called gu mohan again, and when she heard that gu mohan''s phone had also turned off, she finally believed that something really happened between them.


    But just over an hour ago, she had just finished dressing ye zhiqiao from head to toe, hoping to leave a good impression in front of gu mohan''s parents. However, from the time perspective, she didn''t even have time to get to the gu family, and it was an accident.


    As jian mengqi sighed, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan''s relationship was so complicated and unexpected that she rushed to the hospital nervously.


    She didn''t know what was going on with the two of them, so when she arrived at the hospital, she went to the nurse station in the lobby to ask about the situation.


    "Excuse me... Um... About an hour ago, did a man and a woman get sent over in a car accident, and a little girl?" Asked jian mengqi, panting heavily.


    "Yes." There were not many accidental injuries sent today, and only one ambulance was sent out in the afternoon, so the nurse on duty was very impressed. She turned on the chart on her computer and looked at it, then said, "The two adults are still in the emergency room for treatment, but the child is fine. Now... In the ward next to the emergency room."


    "Oh, okay! Thank you."


    Hearing that little treasure was fine, jian mengqi finally let out a small sigh of relief.


    Although gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were still in the rescue, no matter who they were, little treasure was the most important one. If something happened to little treasure, even if they got better, they would probably blame themselves for the rest of their lives.


    Thinking of this, jian mengqi felt very lucky again. She quickly asked the nurse about the location of the ward and prepared to go to see little treasure first.


    But as soon as he reached the door of the ward, he heard a familiar name.


    "Ye zhiqiao!"


    The sound came from behind. Jian mengqi turned around subconsciously and looked at the source of the sound.


    Holding her arm in her arms, Mrs. Gu looked her up and down several times, then asked sternly, "Why are you here again? Ye zhiqiao, miss ye! Can you stay away from Mohan? Nothing good has happened to Mohan since you appeared!"


    "...


    Jian mengqi blinked her eyes and looked around to make sure there was no one else around. After talking to her, mother gu pointed at herself with her mouth wide open and asked, "Are you... Talking to me?"


    "What else?!" Mrs. Gu asked with a sullen face.


    Mother gu mistook the jian mengqi in front of her as ye zhiqiao. Because she and ye zhiqiao had only met once, and it was the same time that gu mohan was in a car accident before. At that time, her mind was full of su yanbai''s words. Gu mohan was injured because of ye zhiqiao, so she had no good impression of ye zhiqiao at all.


    At that time, jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao had been standing together. The two little girls were pure white. After such a long time, jian mengqi was coming to see little treasure again, so mother gu took her for granted as ye zhiqiao.


    At this time, jian mengqi also saw that mother gu had mistaken her for the wrong person. She wanted to explain, but before she could say anything, mother gu had already started to scold and scold.


    "Why are you so arrogant when you say you''re a girl of all ages? What has been the education of china all along? Marriage matters are arranged by parents. I have already told you so formally, our family mo han, is absolutely not going to have any results with a woman like you, do you not understand, or deliberately play dumb?!"

 Chapter 195 Let Go?

    "I..."


    "Good, good, good -" mother gu reached out to block jian mengqi''s face and interrupted her again, "Even if you didn''t understand before, I''ll give you a good, careful explanation of this matter now. Miss ye zhiqiao, ever since Mohan met you, both himself and his career have been seriously affected. It must be bad to say that you are a jinx, but I really can''t find any suitable words to describe you other than that."


    "Mohan is nice to you now, but I know my son well enough. He grew up living in a rich and noble environment, just like the princes of the previous royal families. They do occasionally take an interest in the children of those commoners, but cinderella''s story is only one. They still want to marry the right woman and spend the rest of their lives with them, so even if I ask you, Can you be a little self-aware? Can you stop pestering Mohan for the sake of wealth?!"


    The more she spoke, the more unpleasant it became. Jian mengqi''s anger was getting worse and worse. She did not expect that this was gu mohan''s mother, who ye zhiqiao had prepared to visit with all her heart. What a pleasant surprise! It was exactly the same as the evil mother-in-law in the tv series!


    "Who''s cinderella? Who do you mean..."


    While jian mengqi was preparing to teach ye zhiqiao a lesson, a doctor suddenly walked out of the emergency room not far away.


    Mother gu walked straight to the doctor. Jian mengqi glared at her from behind and followed her.


    Father gu and shen Qingyuan, who had been waiting outside the emergency room, stood up to listen to the doctor.


    The doctor opened the medical record book in his hand and reported, "Both of the patients are out of danger after treatment. Among them, the male patient, gu mohan, is in better condition. He can wake up after pushing the anesthetic back to the ward. As long as the female patient, ye zhiqiao..."


    "!!"


    Upon hearing the name, mother gu turned to look at jian mengqi, who was listening attentively to the results, and then blushed.


    Jian mengqi felt her gaze, but now she had no time to pay attention to her. The most important thing was to hear from the doctor about ye zhiqiao''s condition.


    "Ye zhiqiao''s condition is a little more serious, and it took a lot of time to save her. The life danger is gone, but it is recommended to do another brain examination after waking up."


    With that, the doctor closed the medical record, nodded at the crowd and left the emergency room quickly.


    After the doctor left, everyone was relieved.


    Jian mengqi stood there, her mother''s face becoming more and more unshakable, so she pulled her father and said, "Since Mohan is all right, let''s go back first."


    "Eh?" Father gu looked at her discontentedly and asked, "After waiting for so long, why don''t you leave without looking at your son? What''s wrong with you?"


    "No, I..." Gu''s mother glanced at jian mengqi again, then said in a low voice, "I''m a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to rest first. You can go back with me. Oh."


    "A lot of things!"


    Father gu looked impatient, but he said goodbye to shen Qingyuan and left with mother gu.


    Jian mengqi stared at her mother''s fleeing figure for a while. She did not feel happy about winning at all. Instead, her heart grew heavier.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao still lived in the same ward. As soon as they were pushed into the ward by the nurse, jian mengqi followed with little treasure.


    Although little treasure was a little frightened by the car accident just now, there was no trauma on her body. In addition, many doctors and nurses came to see her after she came to the hospital to coax her, and now with jian mengqi around to take care of her, her mood had basically stabilized.


    Jian mengqi sat on the sofa with her in her arms, pinched her little nose and asked, "Is little treasure not afraid anymore?"


    Little treasure shook his head and answered obediently, "No, dad, aunt ye, aunt jane are all here. Little treasure is not afraid."


    "How flattering!"


    Jian mengqi pinched her fleshy face again, then quieted down, her eyes darting back and forth between the two people who were still asleep.


    Ever since she heard her mother''s words, she had been very upset. She was clearly not a careful person, but this time, she was genuinely worried about ye zhiqiao''s situation.


    Gu''s mother''s attitude was really too bad. Although gu Mohan loved and cared for her, jian mengqi did not think that she could change her mind.


    Ye zhiqiao had a strong personality. Now that she liked gu mohan, she was willing to endure the change and restrain her sharp edge. But how long has it been? Can she live like this for the rest of her life? If two people really get married without the blessing of their parents, then in the future, gu mohan will be all ye zhiqiao has.


    All in all, this word is not beautiful, but rather paranoid and terrifying. Seeing a person as a whole means that your honor and humiliation are all tied to that person. In case, if gu mohan gets bored, tired, or the novelty fades away from the nagging of his family, at that time, ye zhiqiao doesn''t even have the chance to turn back.


    Jian mengqi thought she knew ye zhiqiao, so she knew that ye zhiqiao was a person who didn''t hit the south wall and didn''t look back. That kind of personality, to an elder like mother gu, what else could he do besides get hurt?


    Jian mengqi shook her head secretly. She was the one who helped ye zhiqiao sort out her true feelings, but now, it was her who hoped ye zhiqiao could let go.


    But perhaps this is the only way to minimize the damage that ye zhiqiao might suffer.


    "Aunt jane... Aunt jane?"


    While jian mengqi was deep in thought, little treasure had already pulled his sleeve and called out to her for a long time.


    "Ah?!" Jian mengqi was excited. She lowered her head and asked, "What... What''s wrong, little treasure?"


    Little treasure puffed up his mouth and pointed at ye zhiqiao''s bed with embarrassment. He asked in a low voice, "Aunt jane, can little treasure go to sleep next to aunt ye?"


    "Hmm? Why are you sleeping there? If you''re tired, aunt jane will take you home or find a ward."


    Hearing this, the expression in little treasure''s dark eyes instantly darkened, and his voice suddenly became smaller, like a mosquito: "I... I''m not fat... I won''t squeeze into aunt ye..."


    Jian mengqi listened for a long time with her ears propped up, then tilted her head and thought for a while before she realized that little treasure had missed ye zhiqiao and wanted to sleep next to her.


    "Yes, little treasure is very slim. A little one will definitely not squeeze into your aunt ye."


    Jian mengqi agreed to what she had just said and then carried her directly to ye zhiqiao''s bed.


    The beds in the advanced ward were much wider than the normal ones, and ye zhiqiao was thin and thin, so putting a little treasure on it didn''t seem crowded at all.

 Chapter 196 Persevere

    Little treasure climbed up to ye zhiqiao''s side and naturally lifted the quilt and leaned into her arms. Her little head rested on ye zhiqiao''s neck and rubbed comfortably a few times. Her round eyes narrowed, like a soft cat under the sun. Then she bent her mouth and closed her eyes.


    Such a plain and warm scene, in the eyes of jian mengqi, but felt incomparably shocked.


    She knew that little treasure liked ye zhiqiao very much, but she never thought that the relationship between the two had reached such a close point.


    Jian mengqi did not know that ye zhiqiao was xiao bao''s biological mother. She had always thought that xiao bao''s mother was someone else. No matter what the chance of xiao bao''s birth was, at least it proved that gu mohan had other women, and even had feelings for them. Because xiao bao knew that he had a mother he had never met, he would instinctively reject the other women around gu mohan.


    She originally thought so, but when she saw that little treasure subconsciously chose ye zhiqiao between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, and the action of getting close to him was intimate and natural, she suddenly thought it through again.


    Yes, gu mohan liked ye zhiqiao very much, and so did little treasure. The rest of his life was spent with the three of them. Even if his parents stopped him, and there were doubts from the outside world, so what?


    At least for the parties involved, relationships have to be tested, right?


    Who can guarantee that the result of persevering will not be the best one? Since there is a chance, you should try hard, without reservation, so that no matter what the end is, at least you won''t regret it.


    Thinking of this, jian mengqi suddenly relaxed and smiled.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the ward. Jian mengqi walked over and opened the door. Shen Qingyuan and shen monong were standing outside.


    Jian mengqi had seen shen Qingyuan on some occasions before, and she had just seen him outside the emergency room, so she wasn''t too surprised and asked, "Are you here to see gu mohan?"


    Shen Qingyuan smiled and nodded, "I was waiting outside just now." Then he asked, "Is Mr. Gu awake?"


    Jian mengqi looked back and said, "Not yet. Can you come in and wait?"


    "Ah, no need..." Shen Qingyuan quickly refused. Speaking to gu father and mother today, the goal was basically achieved. There was no need to wander around in front of gu mohan. If he saw anything, he would lose more than he gains.


    Shen Qingyuan handed the present to jian mengqi, then motioned for shen monong to hand it over as well, and then said, "This is a small token of my love to mo nong. There are still some things at home, so I won''t stay here for long."


    "Oh." Without knowing why, jian mengqi took the things and nodded to the two of them, "Take your time."


    As the Shen shi father and daughter walked further and further away, jian mengqi stared at the gifts in her hands, lost in thought, kicked the door with her foot, and then slowly walked to the sofa. When she looked up coldly, she was shocked.


    "Uh-"


    She raised her voice in one breath and almost cried out, but when she thought that ye zhiqiao and little treasure were still asleep, she pressed back forcefully.


    "You won''t make a sound when you wake up?!" As soon as she had calmed down, she complained in a suppressed voice.


    Gu mohan was moving his stiff shoulders, "Who knows what you''re doing? Without looking up, are you going to take our nutrition away?"


    "Hey you! You just woke up and started looking for trouble, didn''t you?" Jian mengqi glared at him and then asked, "Did you see the gift-giver?"


    "No, I woke up when you sneaked back."


    At this moment, jian mengqi''s heart was very resistant to talking to him again, but with the style of honesty and trustworthiness, she still curled her mouth and said, "It was a boss who brought his daughter here. I have seen that boss before, it seems that... It seems that his surname is shen, and he still calls his daughter mo nong."


    "Shen Qingyuan and shen monong?" Gu mohan''s face suddenly became serious.


    "Yes... Ah." Jian mengqi sensed the air in the room that had been lowered in an instant and asked with her head stuck out, "What''s wrong? Did they offend you?"


    Gu mohan shook his head after a while and then asked, "When did they come here?"


    Jian mengqi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I don''t know. They were waiting outside the emergency room when I came, but... I heard from the nurse that they came very early. It seemed like that man. His name was shen Qingyuan? He was the one who called you when he saw you on the road."


    On the way?


    Gu mo laughed coldly. Recently, shen Qingyuan had a really high appearance rate in front of him. There was a car accident on the road. It was doubtful that such a small probability could be met by shen Qingyuan.


    At that time, he was driving on the viaduct, and there was no sign of any other car in front of him. But in the blink of an eye, the two cars that came out of nowhere collided right in front of him. He couldn''t stop and hit them. In less than a minute, another car hit him.


    Heh - a series of car accidents on the highway did not have such precise timing. Did shen Qingyuan treat him as a fool? He even pretended to be a passerby and called an ambulance. He was waiting in the hospital for so long. Why? Afraid he didn''t know who was behind it?


    Shen Qingyuan thought he could hide the truth from the world, and gu mohan could easily see through it with a series of events. However, gu mohan did not intend to say anything about it, whether it was ye zhiqiao or shen Qingyuan.


    He didn''t want to tell shen Qingyuan what else he could do. After all, it was a very favorable situation for him to keep the enemy in the dark.


    Instead of telling ye zhiqiao...


    Gu mohan turned to look at the woman who was sleeping peacefully two meters away. When he saw the light casting a faint shadow under her eyelashes, he couldn''t help but raise the corner of his mouth.


    He did not want ye zhiqiao to worry about him. Being his gu mohan''s woman only required a happy and comfortable life. Such dirty and dark things could not touch her.


    At the door of the ward, a man in black looked in through the window of the door for a long time. Seeing that gu Mohan and jian mengqi did not speak again, he took his eyes back and sat in the lounge chair pretending to be the family member of the visiting patient.


    He took out his cell phone and dialed the number at the top of the call log, "President shen, gu mohan has woken up. Jian mengqi told him about your visit."


    Shen Qingyuan''s voice came through the wire, "Did he have any special reaction? And what about the woman he lives with?"


    "That woman is not awake yet. Gu mohan has no reaction. Everything is normal."


    "Yeah." Shen Qingyuan agreed, then ordered, "Keep an eye on them, and report immediately if anything happens."

 Chapter 197 Amnesia?

    Ye zhiqiao fell asleep for a long time, from the initial unconsciousness to gradually entering a dream.


    In the dream, she felt as if she had sensed something. She could clearly feel her short arms on her chest, the warmth of her neck, and even the faint smell of milk in the warm air.


    But all of a sudden, that sense of fullness disappeared, or transformed into another form.


    She reached out and caressed her abdomen, which was growing bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting fuller and heavier.


    It felt like five years ago, when she was pregnant.


    The changes in her abdomen gradually stopped, and the final form was in her eighth month of pregnancy.


    She sensed something and raised her head in horror. The scene before her made her face turn pale, her features twisted, and she subconsciously wanted to scream.


    But she couldn''t make a sound. He could only watch the familiar airport, the familiar crowd, the familiar bai zixuan and ye yiyu in the red dress beside him.


    Bai zixuan''s surprise and disgust, ye yiyu''s disdain and gloating, appeared in front of her again after five years.


    And, and...


    Five years ago, ye zhiqiao ran away with tears on her face. Her abdomen had the same bulge as hers.


    "No -"


    She opened her mouth wide, but could only shout in her heart that she was born.


    Five years ago, ye zhiqiao couldn''t hear her voice and ran to the busy street according to her original route.


    It was too late for her to catch up.


    Red, bright red, bright red all over the ground, large patches, like a mountain of impatiens, piercing people''s eyes, suddenly eye-catching.


    The poor woman on the ground had fainted, and when she came closer, she could even see the tears on her pale cheeks.


    The scene in front of him suddenly changed drastically.


    White, the sky and the earth are all white.


    She knew this was a hospital.


    At this point, her body could no longer move, but her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate through the wall and see the emergency room at the end of the cold corridor...


    There was a woman who was five years away from her.


    "Wow! Wow!!"


    A crisp cry suddenly sounded, and the busy doctor beside the woman suddenly straightened up, holding a baby covered in blood firmly in his hand.


    Child? Child!!! That''s her child!


    The child... Is not dead?


    ...


    "Ah!!"


    Ye zhiqiao screamed, then suddenly shuddered. When she calmed down, she found that gu mo''s worried face was in front of her wet eyes.


    "Zhiqiao, did you have a nightmare?" Gu mohan asked softly.


    Ye zhiqiao grabbed the bedsheet and sat up. She looked around with her shoulders shrunk for a long time before blurring out, "I... I just..."


    "You were frowning and sweating a lot, and sometimes your arms were waving around. I was just about to call you when you woke up screaming." Gu mohan told her what had happened just now and then asked, "Did you have a nightmare? What did you dream about? I''ve never seen you like this."


    "I dreamt..."


    Ye zhiqiao tilted her head and frowned. She closed her eyes and thought about it carefully, but it was clear as if she was in a dream. At this moment, she didn''t know why. She couldn''t remember any plot at all. She only remembered two colors: white and red.


    Now, as soon as she closed her eyes, the two colors would appear in turn, causing her scalp to tingle and the right half of her brain to ache.


    "Uh-" unable to bear the overwhelming pain, she clasped her hands around her head and let out one painful cry after another.


    "Zhiqiao!" Gu mohan held her hand and pulled her into his arms." Don''t think about it, can''t you remember?" Come on, we don''t want to, okay?"


    "Why? Why?!" Ye zhiqiao looked up at him, her eyes glistening with mist, and her voice was hoarse and plaintive, "I saw it with my own eyes, but... Why... Can''t I remember it?"


    "That''s what dreams are all about."


    Gu mohan bent down to wipe her tears, and his voice was mesmerizing and gentle, "I used to do the same thing. Many of the scenes just stopped there, but there was a veil over them. Nothing could be seen or removed. It''s normal to be upset, but it''s useless to force yourself."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head, "That''s a very important thing. It seems that I have been searching for something for a long time before I found it. I can''t just forget it again."


    "The most important thing now is your health." Gu mohan rubbed her head and asked tentatively, "Did it hurt here just now? Or here?"


    "... To the right." Ye zhiqiao hesitated to answer.


    Gu mohan thought about it for a moment and then said, "Well, your posture was more likely to hit the right side. The doctor said that you would have another examination after you woke up. Can I call the doctor now?"


    Ye zhiqiao was lost in the distance and nodded slowly for a long time.


    The doctor quickly came over, did a few basic tests, then took ye zhiqiao to the examination room, and returned with the results after half an hour.


    Gu mohan had just tucked little treasure in. When he saw the doctor and ye zhiqiao coming back, he got up in a hurry and asked, "What was the result?"


    The doctor opened the examination report for him, then explained, "The patient''s head was hit, and he suffered a lot of shock, causing a certain degree of concussion..."


    "Concussion?!" Before the doctor could finish speaking, gu mohan had already glared and exclaimed.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled him, indicating that he wanted the doctor to speak.


    The doctor continued, "According to the current situation, the concussion is mild and has no effect on life. You don''t need to worry too much about that. The main problem was the patient''s right brain. Oh, I heard it was a car accident, right? The original impact point was concentrated in the right brain, and there were more memory centers in the right brain, so it might have some impact on the patient''s memory."


    "Memory?" Gu mohan asked doubtfully, "Is it amnesia?"


    The doctor was taken aback by his question and then said with a suppressed smile, "Then ask the patient beside you if she still remembers you."


    Ye zhiqiao scolded gu mohan in her heart for being heartless, wondering if he had seen too many idol dramas and lost his memory?


    When gu mohan heard the doctor''s joke, he realized that he was making a big deal out of it. After ye zhiqiao woke up, except for the nightmare that she couldn''t remember, everything else was the same as before. There was no trauma. It really didn''t look like something was wrong.


    Since ye zhiqiao was fine, he was completely relieved.

 Chapter 198 I... Couldnt Draw It

    After the doctor left, gu mohan made a call to order dinner, and then he was going to wake little treasure up.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw the situation and said, "It''s already past ten o'' clock. After a long day, she is tired. Otherwise, don''t disturb her."


    "But she didn''t eat tonight." Gu mohan''s hand stopped in mid-air, waiting for ye zhiqiao''s decision.


    "Then... Then wake her up."


    Ye zhiqiao said helplessly.


    The little guy''s stomach was already not good, and eating less than one meal could cause stomach problems. Lack of sleep could make up for it, and it would be bad if the old illness relapsed.


    Gu mohan took little treasure, who was groaning because he was awakened, into his arms and smiled at ye zhiqiao, "But you, my father, love her so much. I can''t bear to wake her up, and I can''t bear to be hungry."


    Ye zhiqiaobai glanced at him and took little treasure from him.


    Perhaps he smelled the familiar smell on ye zhiqiao''s body, and the moment little treasure leaned against her shoulder, he calmed down, and his big confused eyes gradually brightened up.


    "Auntie ye -" little treasure called her in a long voice.


    Hearing this sweet and soft voice, ye zhiqiao''s heart softened. For some reason, ever since she woke up, she subconsciously wanted to be better to little treasure. This thought was different from the simple liking before, but with a little... It seemed like compensation.


    But... Compensation? Why should I feel sorry for little treasure?


    Until the three of them sat down to eat together, she still did not come up with a result.


    Gu mohan gave her a rib and asked, "What are you thinking? Be serious when you eat. Don''t be distracted."


    "Do you think I''m little treasure?" Ye zhiqiao chuckled, then fed little treasure a spoonful of porridge and said," that little stir-fried meat, if little treasure likes it, auntie will make it for you after leaving the hospital, but it''s too late today. Why don''t you drink more porridge?"


    Little treasure nodded obediently as he chewed the rice in his mouth.


    Gu mohan saw that ye zhiqiao had been feeding little treasure, but he did not eat a few mouthfuls, so he simply took her bowl in his hand and handed the food and rice to her mouth with a spoon.


    Noticing a spoonful of food close to her lips, ye zhiqiao subconsciously shrank her neck and asked, "What are you doing? I can eat it myself."


    "It''s been almost ten minutes, and the bowl is still full. Is that something you can eat?" Gu mohan continued to extend his hand forward." Eat it honestly, or I won''t let you feed little treasure."


    "Uh-" the little treasure beside him puffed his mouth and his dark eyes rolled over the two of them.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and opened her mouth helplessly.


    Just like that, the man fed the woman, the woman fed the doll, and the meal was not finished until late at night.


    The night outside the window was dark and the moonlight was bright. The soft lights in the ward finally went out with a "Bang." The three people who had been tormenting the whole day were already exhausted. At this moment, they finally fell asleep peacefully.


    -


    A few days later, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were finally allowed to leave the hospital after recuperation and comprehensive examination. The gu family had no one to take charge of these days, and there were a lot of chores piled up. After gu mohan sent little treasure home, he immediately threw himself back to the company to support the overall situation.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, had to return to the studio to carry out her unfinished design work.


    She had been working at gu mohan''s villa while taking care of little treasure, but now the design was nearing the end. The first part of the design had been handed over to jian mengqi. There might be a lot of details and problems to discuss at any time, so she moved back to the studio.


    Jian mengqi still handed her her old office and all the tools and items needed were prepared according to her habits. Once ye zhiqiao arrived, she could start work immediately.


    Today was a sunny day, the sky was blue and bright, the wisps of clouds were ethereal, the air was filled with a warm smell, in this environment, people''s mood will become clear, this design is summer style, completely complementing the environment.


    Ye zhiqiao entered the office in a brisk little tune. According to her previous habit, she now had to look at the design in front of her to find the connection and inspiration.


    But...


    The moment she sat in front of the drawing board, many things that did not belong to the white paper suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.


    The original blue, pink, yellow... All kinds of brilliant colors combined together, but now it faded completely, gradually becoming a monotonous black and white.


    The familiar composition and decorations had become unfamiliar at the moment. She watched as a fresh and sweet skirt turned into the back of a man, and as she looked down, a woman with her eyes closed and her face flushed under the man''s body.


    Men are easy to dust, and women... Are her!


    "!!!"


    She gasped and tried to look away from the drawing board.


    It''s not true. It''s not true. It''s an illusion. It must be an illusion caused by being too nervous!


    After closing her eyes and calming down for a moment, ye zhiqiao looked up at the drawing board again. The color on it was still bright. The fluttering skirt had the girl''s graceful waist, and a black leaf was falling on the collar of the dress.


    This is the design of "Wake up," this is the reality.


    She comforted herself, then picked up the brush, dipped it in some adjusted color, and slowly reached out to the direction of the paper.


    Wait!


    She felt something was wrong, took back her hand and shook her head, then reached for the drawing paper again.


    The red paint on the tip of the pen made a round dot on the paper. The reddish veins around the dot gradually deepened, like the veins of a leaf, crisscrossing from side to side.


    But still, it wasn''t right.


    A terrifying sentence suddenly popped up in her mind, "I... Can''t draw it."


    It''s not that she''s uninspired, it''s not that she''s not feeling well, it''s not that the color and paper are the reason. The real problem is that she, herself... Can''t draw. Not only did she not know how to design, she did not even know how to write!


    The collar, sleeve, chest, waist of a dress... She understood all this, but as long as she held a pen and faced the drawing paper, her mind was blank, she couldn''t even draw a square!


    All these years since I was a child, the design that I had learned was at this moment, like chalk on the blackboard, wiped by the board and disappeared.


    "How did this happen?"


    Shaking her head and talking to herself, she tore up the drawing paper in disbelief and changed it.


    Or not?


    Once again, she tore up the white paper, threw it into the trash with her paintbrush, changed it into new paper, changed the new brush, and changed the paint...


    After almost frantically doing all of this, she sat down on the stool again and picked up her brush...


    It''s over.

 Chapter 199 Temporary Amnesia

    While jian mengqi was sorting out the designs for this quarter, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and ye zhiqiao walked in with a panicked look on her face.


    Startled by ye zhiqiao''s face, jian mengqi hurriedly walked around the desk to ye zhiqiao and asked nervously, "What''s wrong? Feeling unwell? Or..."


    "Mengqi..." Ye zhiqiao frowned and said helplessly, "I don''t know what happened. I... My head... Not my head... I..."


    "Don''t worry, speak slowly."


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s incoherent expression, jian mengqi''s expression also became solemn, because ye zhiqiao had always been a steady person, and rarely showed such panic.


    She helped ye zhiqiao sit down on the sofa, looked at the paint on ye zhiqiao''s finger, and asked tentatively, "Is there a problem with the design? Don''t worry, even if you can''t find inspiration, it doesn''t matter. There''s no hurry."


    "No... Not without inspiration..." Ye zhiqiao stared at the corner absentmindedly and said in a trembling voice, "It''s me... I can''t draw it. I don''t remember anything. Design, composition, color... I completely forget it, as if... I''ve never touched it before?"


    "Ah?! Forgot?"


    Jian mengqi had never heard of such a situation. How could she forget her profession? It''s not that the design can be stolen, it''s stored in your head.


    If someone else had said that, jian mengqi would have doubted it. But if the person who spoke was ye zhiqiao, she would have changed her mind.


    "Zhiqiao, are you still injured? I heard something like this happened after my head was hit."


    Ye zhiqiao held her head, trembling her shoulders and muttering, "I don''t know... I don''t know anything... I don''t know..."


    Ye zhiqiao''s current situation was really terrible. Jian mengqi wanted to send her home to rest, but she was worried that something was wrong with her body, so she had to call gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was in a meeting and answered the phone in a hurried tone, "I''m in a meeting. What''s the matter?"


    Jian mengqi was more anxious than him. She looked back at ye zhiqiao, who was still sitting on the sofa with her head still in her arms, and said in a low voice, "Something seems to have happened to Zhiqiao. She just told me that she couldn''t draw anything and forgot everything she had learned. I can''t tell exactly, but she''s in a very bad condition."


    "How could this be? Didn''t you just leave the hospital?"


    Jian mengqi heard gu mohan finish asking these two questions, and then she heard a faint apologetic voice coming from the opposite side: "Sorry everyone, there are some urgent matters at home. If you have any questions, report them to the secretary first."


    After a while, gu mohan''s clear voice came again, as if he was panting a little, "Are you in the studio? I''ll go over now and you tell me everything about her in detail."


    ...


    Gu mohan roughly understood ye zhiqiao''s symptoms on the way and drove her directly to the hospital after arriving at the studio.


    Ye zhiqiao''s attending physician was a middle-aged woman who was stunned by gu mohan''s incessant questions.


    "Didn''t she have a checkup before she left the hospital? Why did this happen in less than 24 hours? I won''t hold you responsible, but you have to treat me well. After so many years of work, how could she forget? Look at her face right now. Did she press her head and say it hurt? Did she break it?"


    Gu mohan''s question had no practical significance except to show his concern.


    Ye zhiqiao''s nerves had been tense all this time, but she actually relaxed a lot because of his words. Seeing the doctor opposite him looking very speechless, she took his hand and said, "You should be quiet first. Listen to the doctor."


    Only then did gu mohan stop.


    The doctor sighed and pointed to the film that had just been taken, "It doesn''t look like a big problem from the film. I''ve said before that her right brain suffered a strong impact, and there will be some memory problems. Now it seems that it is this kind of temporary amnesia."


    "Or amnesia? When I asked you before, you clearly said no!" Gu mohan asked with a frown.


    The doctor took a deep breath and patiently explained, "Her condition is not the same as what you said. She has not been affected in other aspects except temporarily forgetting a part of her ability. There are many medical categories of amnesia. She is only a temporary memory loss."


    "When will these deficiencies come back?" Gu mohan asked again.


    "Well... I''m not sure." The doctor shook his head and said to ye zhiqiao, "The recovery of memory is related to your body''s function, to your mood state, to the impact of an accident, to changes in the natural environment, and so on. Some people have lost their memories and come back after a nap. Some people have a week, a month, a few years, or a lifetime. All of these things happen, so we can''t give an accurate time for this."


    "...


    After a moment of silence, ye zhiqiao nodded gently and said with a smile, "Thank you, doctor. I understand."


    Then, she left the doctor''s office with gu mohan, who seemed to have a stomach full of questions to ask.


    In fact, when he heard that the memory loss was only temporary and only a part of it was missing, gu mohan was relieved and basically relieved, but when he thought of ye zhiqiao''s enthusiasm for the design work, he couldn''t help but feel worried.


    "Zhiqiao, in the future... If you really can''t design anymore, what will you do?" Gu mohan took ye zhiqiao''s hand and walked aimlessly in the garden downstairs of the hospital. He said in a low voice, "You like design so much. From young to old, the ones who spend the most time with you are the drawing board, brush and paint. If you can''t pick it up again, you will be very painful."


    Ye zhiqiao was also in a bad mood, but when she thought that gu mohan was worried about her and felt touched and warm, she comforted him subconsciously, "Didn''t the doctor say so? It''s only temporary. Maybe I''ll go home and have a full meal now, then have a good sleep, and then all of them will be back!"


    "Really?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, deliberately raised a smile and said firmly, "It''s very possible."


    Gu mohan turned to look at her, not knowing what to say for a moment. He wanted to apologize to ye zhiqiao, because ye zhiqiao was in his car when something happened, and even because he was in his car, he still had to go to see his parents.


    But if he apologized, ye zhiqiao would definitely be angry.

 Chapter 200 Finally Meet

    Alas, the more ye zhiqiao thought of him like this, the more he felt guilty.


    With the two of them together for so long, the benefits he brought to ye zhiqiao were almost pitiful. Apart from accidents being accidents, the number of times he was injured or wronged was even more astonishing. He always thought that he must protect her well next time, but every time, he would still break his promise.


    But ye zhiqiao would never say anything nice. When she did things, she always felt comfortable.


    To him, to little treasure.


    "Zhiqiao, let''s go home now!" Gu mohan suddenly said.


    Ye zhiqiao thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "Well, I can''t help mengqi in the studio anyway. I can just go and see little treasure. By the way, little treasure likes to eat fried meat recently. We''ll drop by the supermarket before we go back..."


    "Eh Zhiqiao..." Seeing ye zhiqiao talking further and further away, gu mohan quickly stopped her and said slowly, "I don''t mean to go back to the villa, but to my parents'' house."


    "Ah?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and asked incredulously, "Now?"


    Gu mohan nodded.


    "But I... Am I not suitable?" Ye zhiqiao looked down at the "Casual" clothes she was wearing for the convenience of design and said hesitantly, "At least let me change my clothes and put on some makeup, and the gifts have to be picked up again. Time may be..."


    "It''s okay. You go home and tidy yourself up. I''ll go get my things ready and pick up little treasure. Then we''ll go straight over."


    What gu mohan said was reasonable and full of expectations. Ye zhiqiao was not good at beating him up, so she had to agree, "Yes."


    Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, gu mohan knew that the last car accident had caused her a big blow, so he comforted her and said, "I''ll call Qin Baiye over later. You can also call jian mengqi. This time, there won''t be any more accidents."


    Ye zhiqiao looked up at him for a long time and finally smiled.


    After returning home, the first thing ye zhi happened to do was to contact jian mengqi. She knew that jian mengqi liked to join in the fun, and when Qin Baiye came over, jian mengqi would definitely be happy to follow her, but she didn''t expect that this time, jian mengqi actually rejected her for the first time.


    In this regard, the reason that jian mengqi gave was that the studio had been suffering from internal and external problems recently, and many things were waiting to be dealt with, so there was really no time to spare.


    She had a good reason, so ye zhiqiao didn''t think much and only told her to rest.


    But as soon as jian mengqi finished talking to ye zhiqiao, she immediately called Qin Baiye.


    "Yo, miss jian can still think of me. I thought you were moving towards a strong woman recently!" Qin Baiye joked.


    Jian mengqi was not in the mood to chat with him and asked directly, "Did gu mohan let you go back to his parents'' house with him and ye zhiqiao?"


    Qin Baiye was not surprised that jian mengqi knew about this because gu mohan had already said on the phone that jian mengqi would be there too.


    "Yeah, it sounds good to say that you want me to be a guest, but you''re basically using me as a bodyguard. Gu mohan, this kid, must have been in the shadows because of what happened a few days ago."


    Qin Baiye complained half-jokingly, but after listening to jian mengqi, she only said, "You can follow, but wait downstairs when you get there. Don''t follow."


    "Hmm?" Qin Baiye was confused, "Why? Not even allowed to eat?"


    Jian mengqi said with disgust, "Che," and then said, "Why are you messing around with family gatherings? In short, don''t meddle in this. Just do as I say."


    "Oh." Qin Baiye promised honestly, and then asked, "Are you still coming?"


    "I''m not going, but if anything happens, please let me know."


    Qin Baiye was getting more and more confused by what she said, "What can happen when you eat?"


    "Oh, you don''t understand. Just listen to me."


    Qin Baiye really didn''t know what jian mengqi was worried about.


    Gu mohan''s parents were not the same as the parents of an ordinary family. Their requirements for their daughter-in-law were much stricter. Family background was one of the most important things.


    Even from the perspective of the ye family, matching the gu family was also a high marriage, not to mention that ye zhiqiao had basically separated from the ye family and was alone and powerless, which obviously did not meet the standards of the gu daughter-in-law.


    Last time in the hospital, mother gu''s attitude was clearly seen by jian mengqi. No matter how outstanding ye zhiqiao was and how hard she worked, there was absolutely no benefit in mother gu''s eyes.


    So today''s meeting, jian mengqi was deeply worried about ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were both extremely self-respecting people. With Qin Baiye as an outsider present, if gu''s parents really gave them any embarrassment, they would probably feel even more embarrassed, so jian mengqi asked Qin Baiye to stay downstairs.


    As for why jian mengqi didn''t go by herself, to put it bluntly, she just couldn''t stand to see her friends being bullied. If she were here, she would definitely not be able to restrain her chivalrous heart and would rush over to complain to ye zhiqiao. At that time, everyone would be embarrassed, so it would be better to wait for news in the studio honestly.


    While jian mengqi was preparing to rush to the front line to comfort ye zhiqiao, the other three of them had already arrived at the gu family mansion.


    Perhaps sensing the importance of meeting today, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao could not help but feel very nervous. Even little treasure had been holding his breath tightly behind ye zhiqiao. Occasionally, he looked around curiously. Whenever he met any strange eyes, he immediately withdrew.


    When gu father and gu mother heard that the three of them were coming back, they were already waiting in the living room. When they heard the greetings of the servants, they looked up at the door together.


    Gu mohan walked in the front and called out to his parents, then turned to ye zhiqiao and introduced him, "This is zhiqiao, my girlfriend. You have met her before."


    He introduced ye zhiqiao here as his girlfriend. In fact, he wanted to say that ye zhiqiao was his fiancee.


    However, gu father and gu mother did not give them the permission to get engaged or get married. To say it bluntly on such an occasion would only make gu father and gu mother more prejudiced against ye zhiqiao, so gu mo took a step back and chose a safer way.


    Ye zhi made a proper bow and said with a smile, "Hello, auntie and uncle. We met by chance before. Today, we have the chance to bring you some gifts. I don''t know if you like it, but this is my little kindness as a junior. I hope you will accept it."


    Although father gu did not like ye zhiqiao''s background, he did not have any dissatisfaction with the girl herself, so he lightly agreed, as a response.

 Chapter 201 The Life of the Next Person

    However, mother gu was not as "Easy to talk" as father gu. In her eyes, ye zhiqiao''s elegant and generous posture was clearly a scheming woman who had climbed up to her son''s door. Now she pretended to be pretty, just for the sake of future glory and wealth.


    She didn''t even give ye zhiqiao a single one. She glanced at the gifts on the coffee table and said, "We like them all. Mohan is really thoughtful."


    These things were indeed bought by gu mohan, but mother gu did not give any face and just said so. He was also a little embarrassed for a moment, so he changed the subject and hugged little treasure and said, "This is little treasure, my daughter."


    "Come to little treasure and call her grandparents." Gu mohan then said to little treasure.


    Father and mother gu looked at each other with a straight face and a slanted eye. Even little treasure, a five-year-old child, could tell that they were unhappy with him. His expression immediately sank, and even his voice was much weaker.


    She hung her head, her eyes fixed on the little bow on her clothes, and murmured, "Grandpa... Grandma... Okay."


    The little girl who didn''t dare to speak, even her own granddaughter, the gu mother, looked down on her, not to mention this unknown wild girl who was born at an unknown time. She curled her lips and did not speak.


    Father gu''s attitude towards his granddaughter softened a lot. He asked about the child''s age and some things in life, but from the beginning to the end, he did not ask for a hug like the other elders.


    After a few stiff conversations, it was almost lunchtime. When the servants came to ask about the dishes, ye zhiqiao volunteered to cook a lunch for her elders.


    Gu mohan felt a little aggrieved by this. There was no reason for him to enter the kitchen the first time he came. However, gu father and gu mother did not have any objections, he had to arrange for the servants at home to take care of ye zhiqiao, and then sat in the living room with gu father and gu mother watching tv with little treasure, who was obviously not in high spirits today.


    Ye zhiqiao''s cooking skills have always been good, and since she took the responsibility of taking care of little treasure''s diet, she has learned a lot, so in more than an hour to prepare a table of exquisite food, it is still very confident for her.


    Before cooking, they were basically for gu mohan and xiao bao. They lived in the north and had similar tastes in food. However, she remembered that gu mohan said that mother gu was from the south and lived in the south before she married father gu, so she thought that mother gu''s taste should be lighter, so she specially made a few light southern dishes.


    After serving, mother gu''s eyes lit up when she saw a few plates of home-cooked food.


    Gu mohan hurriedly introduced, "Zhiqiao learned these specially after she knew that your hometown was in the south. I was especially impressed with this steamed fish. She tried it several times. It was either sour or bitter. Little treasure and I had been poisoned by her for a long time."


    Thinking of the three of them at home, little treasure couldn''t help but smile.


    Ye zhiqiao added red wine to mother gu and smiled awkwardly, "I don''t know if you''ve improved after practicing for so long. Please try and give me a score."


    Mother gu glanced at ye zhiqiao, reached out to pick up a piece of fish, chewed it a few times in her mouth, and said lightly, "It''s far from the steamed bass made by the servant."


    Her words made the atmosphere that had just recovered freeze again. The fish that little treasure had just put into his mouth had been in a daze for a long time without daring to swallow it.


    But then, everyone at the table saw that Mrs. Gu kept reaching out to the fish with chopsticks. Almost half of the fish went into her stomach. Not only was it fish, but she also ate a lot of other dishes, including father gu, who usually ate half a bowl of rice.


    Not to mention gu mohan and little treasure, they ate happily.


    At the end of lunch, gu fu put down the bowl and chopsticks first and wiped his mouth. The others also stopped.


    Gu mohan took a sip of water and asked, "Dad, are you okay with the taste?"


    Father gu nodded to his face and gave a pertinent comment, "Not bad."


    But mother gu was a little picky in comparison. She put the napkin on the table and said to father gu with a chuckle, "When did your taste become so easy-going? It''s just an ordinary home-cooked dish, but you actually think it''s good?"


    Gu mohan replied expressionlessly, "Mom, didn''t you eat a lot too?"


    "...


    Choking on gu mohan''s words, mother gu could not get off the stage, so she changed direction and said to ye zhiqiao, "Your cooking is okay, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. And..."


    She looked ye zhiqiao up and down, then smiled scornfully and said, "Cooking and cooking are all done by housewives or servants. You said that you are not married yet, and you are not a housewife. Why do you like to do this?"


    The implication was to mock ye zhiqiao for being like a servant.


    Everyone on the table understood what she meant except little treasure. Gu mohan was about to fight back. Ye zhiqiao quickly patted his hand under the table to signal him to calm down. Then, she jokingly said to gu mother, "Auntie is right, but I am trying to get rid of the fate of the present person."


    In a half-truthful response, gu''s mother punched him like he was hitting cotton. The other party was fine, but she was rather depressed.


    When ye zhiqiao saw the situation, she did not say much. When she saw the servants coming to clean up the dishes, she also stood up and prepared to help clean up.


    Now, mother gu found a reason.


    Just when you said you wanted to get rid of the lives of the people who are here, you can''t help it anymore? It seems that'' a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse''s son can only dig holes''. That''s true."


    Ye zhiqiao''s hand, which was holding the empty bowl, stiffened. Then, she smiled again and said, "Uncle and aunt are elders. It is right to serve you and your elders."


    "Bang!" With a thud, Mrs. Gu stood up and asked sternly, "What do you mean?!"


    She had just deliberately insulted ye zhiqiao as the son of a mouse. Ye zhiqiao then said that she was serving her and gu father. What were she and gu father, a mouse?!


    When ye zhiqiao saw gu''s mother''s expression suddenly agitated, she also realized that what she had just said was somewhat ambiguous. However, she swore to god that she had absolutely no intention of intentionally insulting anyone. She immediately explained, "I''m sorry auntie, I didn''t mean that. I just wanted to say that you are the elders. As a junior servant, I take it for granted and am not considered a servant."


    "Come on, you''re done with the cheap talk. What''s the use of saying these nice things now?!" Mrs. Gu looked at her crossly and said angrily.


    Ye zhiqiao did not understand why she had attracted such a condemnation from mother gu without saying a word correctly. She was in a daze for a moment and didn''t know what to do.

 Chapter 202 Never Be Together

    Looking at ye zhiqiao''s innocent face, mother gu felt that she was being hypocritical and annoying. She said to the servants in a loud voice, "All of you, tidy up your things quickly. Throw everything this woman touches to a new one!"


    After that, she gave ye zhiqiao a sidelong glance and said with disgust, "This kind of thing that a woman has touched must be so dirty that it can''t even be washed with disinfectant."


    "Mom!"


    Gu mohan could no longer listen and got up to ask his mother, "Why are you talking like this? Zhiqiao just casually said something that made you misunderstand, and he''s already apologized. Why are you making a big deal out of it?"


    "Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?" Mother gu could not bear to see gu mohan defending ye zhiqiao. Taking this opportunity, she said, "This is the good woman you call generous, decent and polite? Hmph, the first time they met formally, they disrespected their elders. Who could not understand what was going on? How dare she treat me like this before she even enters the house? If she gets the upper hand one day, she will step on both your father and me!!"


    The more mother gu said, the more ridiculous it became. Gu mohan could not help but say with a calm face, "I have never seen Zhiqiao disrespect you two. To be fair, I don''t think there was anything wrong with what Zhiqiao said just now. Different people see different people. Different people see different people. As for the reason why you think she is scolding you, you should look for it yourself."


    "You!!" Mother gu pointed at gu mohan, her breathing uneven.


    Ye zhi coincidentally pulled gu mohan from behind and told him to keep quiet. She didn''t mean to talk back to her mother just now, but gu mohan was clearly saying that she wasn''t. Anyone would say that it was gu mohan''s fault for a woman to go against her mother.


    Sure enough, before ye zhiqiao could start persuading gu mohan, father gu had already stood up with his hands on the table. He stared at gu mohan with deep eyes and a thin layer of anger appeared on his face.


    "Mohan, is that how you talk to your mother?"


    He had been paying attention to the conversation between mother gu and ye zhiqiao, and he was not very satisfied with her in private, because mother gu was an elder, and what the elders said could not be refuted by the younger generation, but mother gu was also a bit aggressive, so he did not say much.


    But if gu mohan was also standing by ye zhiqiao''s side, he would not be able to turn a blind eye to a woman without regard for etiquette and upbringing.


    First of all, no matter what the reason, as a man, he should focus on his career. If gu mohan really loved ye zhiqiao deeply and fell in love with ordinary people, it would be harmful to the gu family and not beneficial to the company. And although the su family and the gu family were in a very unpleasant situation, he believed that with his relationship with su''s father, as long as gu mohan sincerely apologized, the engagement and cooperation could still be salvaged, so even if it was for the immediate benefit, gu mohan could not be with ye zhiqiao.


    "Mohan, miss ye." Father gu said slowly with a straight face, "We are very touched and happy that you came to see us today, but regarding miss ye''s identity, we cannot admit it."


    "Dad..."


    Gu mohan wanted to say more. Gu father''s heavy gaze swept over him, motioning him to keep quiet. Then he continued to say to ye zhiqiao, "Miss ye, you must know something about the gu family. Whether it''s for the sake of the gu group or for Mohan''s sake, your identity is not a good match for the gu family, so I hope you can have..."


    "Dad, how can you say that?!" Gu mohan pulled ye zhiqiao behind him and angrily said to his father, "I brought zhiqiao back today to inform you that this is my girlfriend, my fiancee, and my only wife in my life! As for her background, whether she matches the gu family or not, this is not something you need to consider."


    Ye zhiqiao was an outsider, and her father needed to leave some leeway when he spoke to her, but in the face of his son, the nature of dictatorship was immediately revealed.


    "Gu mohan, I am your father. Is that how you talk to me?! Inform me? Tell me when you have a child, tell me when you decide who else to marry. I am the father, you are the father? When will you let this family go?!!"


    Father gu roared so loudly that the people present were overwhelmed by his imposing manner that even the servants who came and went to pack their things were hiding in the kitchen, not daring to make any noise.


    He was gu mohan''s father, and the former head of the gu family, who had developed the gu family into what it was now. He was a powerful man who called the wind and the rain in his youth. Even though he was old and retired from his position, his domineering spirit could not be extinguished.


    Therefore, gu mohan had the same respect and fear for this father, just like every boy, that was why he wanted to bring ye zhiqiao home to get his father''s approval.


    Realizing that he had lost control of his emotions, gu mohan took a deep breath and nodded at him, "Dad, don''t be angry. I didn''t mean it. It''s just..."


    He pulled ye zhiqiao to his side and said sincerely and solemnly, "Zhiqiao is really a very good girl. My relationship with her is not just a day or two, but a lifetime together. It is a common wish of both of us. So, I hope to get your blessing and mother''s blessing."


    Before father gu could breathe, he waved his big hand and shouted, "I don''t care if she''s a good girl or not, but you, gu mohan, are my son. As long as I''m here for a day, you can''t be with this woman."


    Ye zhiqiao stiffened and looked at gu mohan helplessly. She could not understand why she had come here with such excitement, but in the end, she had come to such a conclusion.


    Gu mohan held her hand tightly in his palm and shook his head gently at her. Then he said to his father, "You disagreed with us because of her family background. Indeed, she had a bad relationship with her family and was working alone outside, but she worked very hard and achieved great success in her profession. Designer'' wake up'' you''ve heard of..."


    He wrapped his arms around ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and said in a loud voice, "Zhiqiao, she is''mengxing''. Internationally, no one doesn''t know this name."


    "So what?"


    After hearing gu Mohan''s words, gu''s father said coldly, "Even if she is an internationally renowned designer, how will it help you or the gu family to marry her? Designers can work for the gu family, but they can''t bring real benefits to the gu family like the well-matched su yanbai."

 Chapter 203 All Wild Seeds

    "Dad, you can''t treat a marriage like this in exchange. Zhiqiao has her own shine. She doesn''t have to be any worse than su yanbai. She''s much better than su yanbai!"


    "Better than su yanbai?" Father gu shook his head and laughed dryly as if he had heard a joke. Then he said, "Go out and ask someone your age. If they are more mature, who would choose this woman over su yanbai?"


    "I will!" Gu mohan spoke word for word.


    That proves your immaturity and childishness! "Father gu took a deep breath and said slowly," Mohan, now that your mother and I are old, you are the only hope for the future of the gu family. Wasn''t your uncle''s intention obvious enough at the family banquet last time? He doesn''t covet the gu family overnight. If you are a little careless, he will replace you immediately. In this situation, you should be more sober. In a few years, or a few months, you will naturally realize that a long relationship between a child and a daughter can''t last long. Career is the most important thing for a man."


    "But dad, I think..."


    "Okay."


    Seeing that gu Mohan was about to refute, gu father raised his hand to stop him. Then he sighed and said, "If you are not convinced, you must make sense of me. Then I can give you this opportunity."


    Then he turned to ye zhiqiao and asked lightly, "Didn''t miss ye call herself an international designer? Since that''s the case, we''ll just do some random design on the spot to broaden our horizons and give Mohan some confidence in his words."


    "... I... Actually" ...


    Father gu''s words suddenly pointed at him, and ye zhiqiao was a little flustered.


    If it wasn''t for the car accident a few days ago, then the site design would have been fine, but now that she had lost all her memories of the design, she picked up the brush and couldn''t draw anything at all.


    However, hearing what gu fu just said, he didn''t believe that she was "Awake from a dream." In and out of the words, he hoped that she would prove herself by designing on the spot. If she couldn''t produce the work, then her impression in gu fu''s mind would be greatly reduced again.


    While ye zhiqiao was in a panic, gu mohan was ready to reject gu father''s request for her.


    Art, whether good or bad, depends on the subjective consciousness of the individual. With the attitude of gu father and gu mother towards ye zhiqiao, no matter what ye zhiqiao handed over, it was a defective product in their eyes. On the surface, it gave them an opportunity, but in fact, it was just another denial, even a mockery.


    And...


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao, and when he saw the worry on her face, his heart suddenly ached. Ye zhiqiao was now missing that part of her memory, and the mention of the design would inevitably cause harm to her. In this case, he wanted to protect her even more, and all the possibilities that made her feel pain must be blocked out.


    After a period of silence, father gu asked again, "How is it, miss ye?"


    "I..."


    Just as ye zhiqiao was about to speak, gu mohan had already said, "She refused."


    "Refuse?" Father gu asked with his eyelids twitching.


    "Yes." Gu mohan nodded and explained, "Designers rely on inspiration to create. In this environment, whether she can get inspiration for a while, I won''t agree with you just because you asked her to design to test her."


    He looked down at ye zhiqiao''s eyes and said softly, "This is an insult to her. Neither she nor I will agree."


    ...


    After another round of silence, the mother beside her suddenly began to laugh, and even the father shook his head helplessly and chuckled.


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t figure out what they meant until mother gu finished laughing and said sarcastically, "There are so many rules for international designers. As far as I know, designers work for other people, right? Okay, if you say you''re not inspired to design the scene, then after signing the contract, if you still can''t produce results, do you also use this excuse to escape the penalty?"


    It turned out that gu father and gu mother thought that gu mohan''s previous introduction to ye zhiqiao was a lie, and did not believe that ye zhiqiao was "Awakened from a dream."


    Ye zhiqiao defended herself, "Auntie, I am really a'' wake up''. I lived abroad for five years before, and the design company there can prove it for me."


    "Why should I look at your proof?" Mother gu spread her hands and looked askance at her, "Actually, whether you are a designer or not has nothing to do with me. If it weren''t for you clinging to the door of the gu family, even if you said you were a foreign prime minister, I wouldn''t care. The reason why we look at you now and force ourselves to have a meal with you is just for Mohan. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have entered the door of the gu family for the rest of your life!"


    "Aunt ye is not disgusting!"


    Little treasure, who had been huddling in his seat for a long time, finally knew how to speak for ye zhiqiao after hearing that she was disgusted. He immediately jumped down from the stool and ran to her. He looked up at his angry and aggrieved face and shouted, "Auntie ye is not disgusted. She is the cleanest person that little treasure has ever seen. Her food is delicious. You ate a lot just now. Her paintings are beautiful. Making clothes can sell for a lot of money. She''s the best and best person in the world!"


    Little treasure''s voice was trembling and crying, but what she said just now was almost at the top of her voice. After all, she was a child, and shouting at her elders might be said to be ignorant.


    So even though she knew that little treasure was for her own good, ye zhiqiao was still ready to step forward and open little treasure.


    But before ye zhiqiao could make any move, mother gu had already scolded her in a shrill voice.


    "Where did this little thing come from? How dare he speak like this in front of his elders? Your father still has to be respectful in front of me. What are you?! No wonder your father didn''t want to bring you back for so long. Now I understand that an ill-bred bastard like you doesn''t deserve to be in the gu family!"


    Mother gu scolded her very harshly. Although little treasure did not understand what she was scolding, he also knew that not only himself, but also his father and mother were scolded by her. At that moment, he burst into tears of grievance.


    Ye zhiqiao was very dissatisfied with mother gu''s choice of words just now, and when little treasure cried, the resentment that she had endured for a long time suddenly surged up and said forcefully, "Auntie, no matter what, little treasure is also your own granddaughter. Did you just say'' wild seed'' a little too much?"


    Mother gu frowned and her eyelids drooped into a pair of triangular eyes, "Those who don''t understand etiquette and talk back to their elders are not fit to be the gu family. Not only are they from the gu family, but they are all barbarians as long as they don''t have etiquette!!"

 Chapter 204 Six Relatives Dont Recognize Each Other

    "Auntie!" Ye zhi coincidentally took two steps forward and said loudly, "You don''t like me and think I''m not worthy of your son, so it makes sense to mock me and scold me. After all, I''m an outsider. But little treasure is your biological granddaughter. She''s already five years old. This is the first time you''ve seen her since she was born. Even if you can''t find that kind and kind feeling for a while, you should at least let her feel some warmth of the family, right?"


    As she spoke, ye zhi coincidentally glanced at gu fu, pursed her lips and continued, "They all say that we are next generation relatives, but uncle and aunt, are your family values a little indifferent? Ever since little treasure came in, you didn''t even touch her hand. You didn''t even touch her hand when she was eating. No one asked her what she liked or didn''t like. She didn''t even touch a single bite of that cup of peanut milk when she was sitting next to her hand for a meal because she was allergic to peanuts."


    All of a sudden, the restaurant quieted down. Only little treasure''s cries, which gradually became smaller and smaller under gu mohan''s comfort, reverberated.


    Both father and mother gu''s faces were ugly. They turned livid from anger and were a little embarrassed.


    Mother gu could not stand the atmosphere and broke the silence, "You said it was her first time here. Who would have thought that such a small child would have such a strange disease? None of us in the gu family has allergies. She has, and that''s her own problem!"


    Ye zhiqiao saw that her mother was still domineering and did not feel that she had made a mistake. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. Her voice trembled and she said, "Auntie, this is not a question you want to get, but whether you want to care about it and accept it."


    "Are you accusing me?!"


    Mother gu disliked the criticism from others the most. Pointing at ye zhiqiao''s nose, she snapped, "This is my home. Gu mohan and that child are both from my family. What are you? A wild woman who doesn''t know where Mohan picked them up dares to show off her power here?!"


    "Mom!" Gu mohan frowned and stared at her, his eyes full of warning.


    Mother gu was so excited that she could not control her emotions. No matter what gu mohan did, she just continued to scold, "Hmph, do you think you did something good? Do you think everything will be fine if you have a good relationship with Mohan''s daughter? Dream! Let me tell you, we all know what you did. Mohan got hurt time and time again because of you. The last time he went to see you and left the company, how much did gu lose?! Besides, we already knew that you were entangled with other men and caused a storm in the city. With a disaster like you, do you still want to enter our family?"


    "Mom, stop it!" Gu mohan closed his eyes and adjusted himself. He tried his best to persuade her in a gentle tone, "The previous incident had nothing to do with zhiqiao. It was all a misunderstanding. If you and dad want to know the truth, when we calm down, I will explain it to you one by one."


    "No need! Now that you''ve been seduced by this woman, every word you say is to protect her. There''s no credibility for half a day!"


    Mother gu picked up a cup from the table and threw it at ye zhiqiao, shouting, "Get out of here! Never... Never take another step into the gu family. Get out of here!!!"


    The glass nearly fell on ye zhiqiao''s face as it curved in mid-air. Fortunately, gu mohan reacted quickly and pulled her to her side in an instant, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.


    After the quilt fell to the ground and the crisp sound of breaking, gu mohan''s anger had changed from restraint to a surge of grandeur. His eyes were dark and the coldness in his fierce eyes seemed to be substantial.


    "Good advice, but you won''t listen?"


    In a light sentence, the danger in the tone of voice fell on one''s ears, but it made one''s heart tremble.


    Gu mohan''s face was expressionless, but his thin lips were pursed tightly. After a long time, he said again, "Good, very good. Since that''s the case, I don''t need to keep lowering down."


    From the moment he walked into the house, he had endured. They had endured ye zhiqiao''s contempt for him, their indifference to little treasure, their deliberate ridicule, sarcasm, and embarrassment. All they had done was to maintain peace on the surface.


    But since they do not need this kind of peace, then simply, do not leave any room!


    Gu mohan picked up little treasure, stood beside ye zhiqiao, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "This is my wife, this is my child, they are the people I want to spend my life with. I came to tell the two elders because you are my parents and I would like to show my respect to you, but I hope you know your place. I am concerned about what Mohan has decided and don''t need anyone else to talk about it!"


    "Gu mohan, say it again!" Father gu clenched his fists and his eyes turned red from rage.


    Mother gu echoed, "What are you talking about? We are your biological parents. For a woman to say such things to her parents, let the outside world know, do you want to be human in the future?!"


    "Of course I want to be a human being, but under the guidance of your parents, I don''t know what kind of person I can be! Is it vanity, is it pride, or... Disdain?!"


    Gu mohan gritted his teeth and said these two words, then whispered to ye zhiqiao, "Let''s go."


    The three of them turned and left the restaurant, leaving behind the shocked and angry gu parents.


    The restaurant of the gu mansion was on the second floor. As she walked downstairs, ye zhiqiao was absent-minded and almost fell down the stairs.


    Fortunately, the three of them had already reached the last few steps, and ye zhiqiao only stumbled a few steps before kneeling on the floor.


    Seeing this, gu mohan was about to bend down to help her. Little treasure had already slipped out of gu Mohan''s arms and ran to ye zhiqiao.


    "Aunt ye, are you okay? Did you sprain your ankle? Can you show me?" Little treasure anxiously circled around ye zhiqiao, and his eyes, which had just been crying, were once again covered in mist.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly reassured her, "It''s okay, aunt ye just lost her mind and accidentally stepped on it." As she spoke, she stood up and stamped her foot twice to show that she had not sprained her ankle.


    Little treasure stared at ye zhiqiao''s feet and calves for a long time. Seeing that there was no bruise on them, he hesitated and nodded, but in the end, he still remembered to "Criticize and educate" ye zhiqiao."

 Chapter 205 Treat You and Him Well

    The way children reveal their emotions is always not covered up, good is good, bad is bad, so when she said that it hurts, it really hurts.


    Ye zhiqiao squatted down and hugged her in her arms. She kissed and kissed again and again. Feeling comforted, she said, "Little treasure is so good to aunt ye."


    Gu mohan, who was standing by, watched the interaction between the two of them. The anger that had just been aroused upstairs had almost disappeared in an instant.


    He knew why ye zhiqiao was absent-minded, and he was thinking the same thing. He came here with the greatest sincerity, but the result was chilling. He was the biological son of gu fu and gu mu. He had known for so many years that his parents were still so disappointed, let alone ye zhiqiao and xiao bao, who were eager to be recognized by their elders.


    However, although the results were not satisfactory, he would never regret it. His world is very good, as long as ye zhiqiao and little treasure can be filled up. Now that ye zhiqiao and little treasure are so close and harmonious, his wish has been achieved, and as for the rest, it doesn''t matter.


    As soon as the three of them left the door of the gu family, Qin Baiye, who had been waiting in the car, immediately ran out.


    Just now, he was too far away to see clearly. When he walked in, he realized that the family of three was not right. The man had a dark face and his breath was so low that it was frightening. The two ladies, one big and one small, had red eyes and nose tips, and their cheeks were still wet. Qin Baiye did not dare to poke the wasp at this time."


    Gu mohan patted him on the shoulder as a silent answer.


    Qin Baiye finally understood jian mengqi''s arrangement at this time and could not help but admire her for her divinity. Then, thinking of her instructions, he asked gu mohan again, "What happened, your parents... Don''t agree?"


    This time, gu mohan nodded but did not speak.


    Seeing that they were in a bad mood, Qin Baiye stopped bothering them and gave them some time and space to calm down. Then he called jian mengqi and told her the general situation.


    In fact, even if Qin Baiye didn''t say anything, jian mengqi could guess what would happen. Only the two old goblins of the gu family could give ye zhi qiao a good look.


    Many things couldn''t be explained on the phone, so jian mengqi asked Qin Baiye to take the three of them to the coffee shop to wait for her.


    A group of five people met at the cafe. They chose the second floor of the cafe. It was quiet and quiet. Several people were staring at the cup in front of them and sitting quietly.


    "Oh, come on, come on!" Jian mengqi broke the silence first, glanced at gu mohan, and then said to ye zhiqiao, "Didn''t you just get bitten twice by a dog? It''s no big deal. Just stay away from me."


    Qin Baiye "Tut," poked jian mengqi with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Why can''t you talk so much?!"


    "I don''t know how to talk, but you haven''t seen how to talk!" Jian mengqi rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said, "We, Zhiqiao, are outstanding people. We have always been offered up to beg her people to line up from the city center to the fifth ring road. Apart from being oppressed by her stepmother and stepsister for a period of time when we were young, we have never suffered such humiliation."


    She turned to look at gu mohan and exhaled, "Gu mohan, your gu family is powerful and capable, but not everyone has to smile at you. You are really good to zhiqiao, but you should be able to feel it yourself. As long as your parents are here, you can''t give zhiqiao safe protection at all."


    "I''ve made it clear to them." Gu mohan took a sip of coffee and said in a deep voice.


    "..." Jian mengqi sneered and asked," tell me what? It''s just that you''ll protect Zhiqiao or sever ties with them. What''s the use of that? Have you ever thought that you can''t be by zhiqiao''s side all the time? What should she do when you''re not around?


    "Mengqi, stop talking about this." Qin Baiye looked around the table and saw that everyone was not looking good, so he advised jian mengqi.


    "If you don''t say it now, when will you say it? Hmm? You told me?"


    Jian mengqi took ye zhiqiao as her best friend, and their relationship was no different from that of her own sister. She had endured this for a long time, but she felt that it was inappropriate to say it as her identity, but when she saw ye zhiqiao being bullied again and again, she couldn''t help it.


    "Zhiqiao, the last time you wanted to go to the gu family with gu mohan, but there was an accident on the way. I received a message to see you at the hospital and met gu mohan''s mother."


    Ye zhiqiao looked up blankly, not knowing what she meant.


    Jian mengqi continued, "At that time, you and gu mohan were lying in the emergency room. I was going to see little treasure first. His mother mistook me for you and scolded me in front of the doctors and the families of the patients..."


    Hearing this, gu mohan was stunned, "What did you say?"


    "You heard it right. Your mother was going to scold ye zhiqiao." Jian mengqi licked her lower lip, lowered her eyes and said, "The words she scolded at that time were very unpleasant, and suddenly started to make trouble. I was stunned at first. I was still thinking, is this person gu mohan''s mother? It''s... It''s just a shrew."


    "Gu mohan, I am so thick-skinned that she scolds me so much that I can''t wait to find a crack in the ground. Imagine if ye zhiqiao was standing there, what would she do?"


    After asking gu Mohan, jian mengqi turned to the apologetic ye zhiqiao and said, "Zhiqiao, you don''t have to feel sorry for me. I didn''t tell you this to make you feel like you owe me a favor. Actually, I wanted to say that you and the gu family are not in the same world at all. I have heard of the two old people in the gu family."


    Qin Baiye vaguely sensed what she was going to say and quickly stopped her, "Mengqi, after all, this is their family matter. Everyone knows that you and ye zhiqiao are close, but it''s too late to talk and do things."


    "You don''t have to remind me that I have such a character. If I don''t say it, I have to say it clearly. Don''t you see it?" Jian mengqi''s eyes swept over gu mohan, little treasure, and finally landed on ye zhiqiao''s face. She stared into her eyes and said, "Gu mohan is very good, but you don''t have to be inferior to him. You like him, and he likes you. It''s not a problem when you''re in love, but once you touch marriage and parents, you''ll have to suffer more than you do now."


    "Long pain is better than short pain. It''s good for you and him to leave gu mohan."

 Chapter 206 A Good Man Will Not Suffer the Immediate Loss

    "No!"


    Jian mengqi did not finish her sentence. Gu mohan had already firmly rejected her idea.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes moved between them, but she still lowered her head and did not speak.


    Seeing this, gu mohan suddenly felt a little flustered and quickly added, "Now my parents are not satisfied with zhiqiao''s background, but I will find a way to solve everything and not cause any more trouble for zhiqiao. And you..."


    He looked at jian mengqi with a straight face, but there was no anger in it, because he knew that jian mengqi really thought about ye zhiqiao before she said what she had just said.


    "About my mother... I apologize to you for her. It''s always wrong for her to scold you, whether she''s mistaken or not."


    Jian mengqi shook her head and said indifferently, "I don''t care about this little thing at all. The only thing I care about now is Zhiqiao''s feelings. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn''t have begged her to come back. I shouldn''t have taken any flight back. I shouldn''t have been at that airport. I shouldn''t have..."


    She shouldn''t have met your father and daughter.


    Jian mengqi didn''t say the second half of the sentence, because little treasure was still there. Although there were only a few things that a child could understand, little treasure was always smart and she didn''t want to hurt the child.


    Gu mohan suddenly felt like he couldn''t laugh or cry and asked, "Then should I thank you?"


    "Don''t hurt me." Jian mengqi grinned and continued, "Don''t you think my method is actually not bad? Ye zhiqiao left you and could live a good life on her own without any unnecessary disputes. As for you, it''s even better. Not only can you continue to be the glorious young master gu, but you can also avoid being trapped between your parents and your girlfriend, making life difficult. Isn''t that killing two birds with one stone?"


    Gu mohan had just relaxed a little and was almost choked by the coffee that jian mengqi had said. He replied with a dark face, "I can coordinate my own family affairs. As for Zhiqiao, I won''t let her suffer any grievances if she stays with me. I won''t bother miss jian."


    Then he turned to ye zhiqiao and promised, "You trust me and stay by my side. I will do what I say."


    "Auntie ye, I''ll be your witness. If dad doesn''t keep his word, I''ll punish him for not eating with us for a week, okay?"


    Little treasure lay on his side on the table and kept blinking at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao had no intention of leaving gu mohan. Although jian mengqi was good for her and made a lot of sense, emotional matters were not decided by reason. She was stubborn. Since she recognized gu mohan, she would not give up easily.


    Now that little treasure followed gu mohan, she would not give up. Instead, she burst out laughing and touched little treasure''s soft hair. She nodded reassuringly and said, "Auntie ye must be nicer to my little witness. What if you betray me?"


    The meaning of the joke was already obvious.


    Gu mohan smiled instantly, while jian mengqi shriveled and said in a long voice, "Alas - it seems that I am in vain as a villain! The three of them are very affectionate. What do you think I''m doing with them?"


    "Yes." Qin Baiye answered without thinking.


    Jian mengqi slapped him on the forehead and said angrily, "You are everywhere."


    Everyone present was amused by their "Daily interactions," and the atmosphere instantly became much more harmonious.


    Ye zhiqiao took the opportunity to say, "Mengqi, there''s actually something I''ve been thinking about for a long time. Don''t be angry with what I said to you."


    "Yes, I forgive you. Say it." Jian mengqi waved her hand.


    "It''s mine... The memory loss of design will definitely have a big impact on my future work, so the studio... I might not be able to do the work there..."


    "Is that all?" Jian mengqi raised her eyelids and said carelessly, "I set up this studio for you. Whether you are''mengxing'' or ye zhiqiao or become a rookie who knows nothing, you are the only chief designer of my studio and my dearest partner, so don''t worry about this, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked dazed and blinked for a long time before stammering, "Mengqi... You are really... Too interesting..."


    Jian mengqi was the most loyal girl she had ever met, so although she was touched by her words, she did not thank jian mengqi in the way she treated others, because she knew that it would be a real waste of her good intentions.


    Since jian mengqi had given her such unreserved support, there was no reason for her to fall. Didn''t he just forget? How did she learn it back then? She can still start over.


    "Mengqi, I''ve decided to relearn design and start with the basics, getting back what I lost bit by bit."


    Just as jian mengqi was about to applaud, gu mohan quickly rejected her, "No, I don''t agree."


    "Ah? Why?" Ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi asked in unison.


    "Because your injury hasn''t healed yet." Gu mohan said to ye zhiqiao with a serious face, "The injury on the soles of your feet is not completely healed, and you have a car accident. Although it seems that there is only a problem with memory for the time being, it is still a head injury. Once you work, you don''t want to die. What if you get worse?"


    Ye zhiqiao fought for herself: "I rest on time, eat on time, can''t you supervise me?"


    "No."


    As long as it was related to ye zhiqiao''s body, there was no room for discussion with gu mohan. With a wave of his hand, he said firmly, "Don''t think about this anymore. I won''t agree. Even if you are obedient and take a good rest, I don''t want you to be so tired. And you don''t have to think about sneaking into school. If I find out..."


    He didn''t say anything else. He only touched ye zhiqiao with his hand. His eyes were dangerous.


    Ye zhiqiao was not afraid of his threat. Anyway, he would not go out of line with her, but if he really stopped her, she would not have the chance to steal school.


    A good man does not suffer at the sight of loss. On the surface, he is too soft to lose meat.


    "I see." Ye zhiqiao agreed weakly.


    After the work was over for a while, ye zhiqiao remembered what her mother had said at the gu family.


    Although mother gu was angry at that time, there was a connection between her words. She said that little treasure was a wild seed and did not admit that little treasure was gu mohan''s flesh and blood.


    Ye zhiqiao had never asked about little treasure''s background. She only knew that she was gu mohan''s child and lived with him.

 Chapter 207 Surrogate Mother

    But in the past, she didn''t ask because she didn''t have any close relationship with gu mohan and little treasure. As an outsider, it wasn''t appropriate to ask these questions, but now that her relationship with gu mohan has been clarified, there should be some doubts about little treasure.


    Little treasure was already tired from what happened just now, and he unconsciously curled up on the sofa, drowsy. Ye zhi coincidentally touched her head, and then asked gu mohan in a low voice, "Little treasure''s background... I mean, you didn''t bring her home before she was five years old. Why on earth?"


    "Why did you ask that all of a sudden?" Gu mohan asked without answering.


    "I''m just curious. Your parents have a strange attitude towards little treasure, and I think I should know everything about little treasure by now."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan with good eyes, because she did not feel that there was anything difficult to say about this, and gu mohan had no reason not to tell her.


    But gu Mohan said vaguely, "There''s nothing special about her. She''s like all children."


    Then he stood up and looked at little treasure and said to ye zhiqiao, "Let''s go home. Little treasure is sleepy. You should be tired too."


    He didn''t want to explain to ye zhiqiao about little treasure''s life. First, it was because Qin Baiye and jian mengqi were present. Five years ago was a big black dragon. It was inconvenient to say it. Second, it was because ye zhiqiao. He was not sure if ye zhiqiao really didn''t remember what happened five years ago. If she didn''t remember, would it have been too much of a shock for her if he had said it out of the blue?


    Third, it was little treasure. Although little treasure liked ye zhiqiao, he suddenly knew that ye zhiqiao was her mother, that she had left her for five years without saying a word, and that she had never seen her mother when she was sick and suffering. Would she misunderstand ye zhiqiao, and that there would be a rift between the two of them?


    These were questions that he had been thinking about for a long time but still could not answer, so facing ye zhiqiao''s question, he couldn''t give a complete explanation.


    However, gu mohan''s deliberate avoidance in ye zhiqiao''s eyes, there is a hidden meaning, little treasure naturally won''t have a secret that can''t be for outsiders, so what makes gu mohan difficult, perhaps is little treasure''s mother?


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and motioned for gu mohan to sit down first. Then she said, "If you don''t want to tell me about little treasure, then her mother..."


    With just one sentence, gu mohan knew that she had misunderstood. In order not to let her continue to fantasize, she had to find an excuse temporarily.


    "Actually... Little treasure was born to a surrogate mother, which is why she was never recognized by my parents. You should stop thinking about this."


    "Surrogate mother?!"


    As soon as the word came out, not only was ye zhiqiao speechless with shock, but even jian mengqi and Qin Baiye, who had been trying to reduce their sense of existence, unconsciously opened their mouths and stared at gu mohan in a daze.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was more confused than before, gu mohan could not help but regret that he had just blurted out something that had not been carefully thought out. But now, he had to continue to think of ways to make things right.


    He bent his middle finger against his nose and took advantage of this time to spin the story as smoothly as possible.


    The reason I''m looking for a surrogate mother is because my parents are always urging me to get married. At that time, my career was on the rise, and I was so busy every day that I didn''t have time to meet girls and fall in love. Of course, my parents have no intention of letting me fall in love freely. They''ve already found me all kinds of rich second-generation girls. As long as I agree, it''s okay whether it''s a meaningless relationship or getting married directly."


    Half true and half false, gu mohan took a sip of his coffee and could not help but laugh at himself, "There are only two reasons why they want me to get married. One is a business marriage, which brings real benefits to the gu family, and the other is to give the gu family a legacy. I can''t fulfill the first wish, but the second... Can."


    "So..." Ye zhiqiaowei frowned and asked hesitantly, "Are you looking for a surrogate?"


    Gu mohan nodded.


    "...


    He admitted so generously that he didn''t seem to take such a shocking story seriously. Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    From the bottom of her heart, she was angry at gu mohan''s actions.


    Not to mention the various disputes about the ethics of surrogacy, gu mohan himself was really selfish. It was selfish and irresponsible to little treasure, the surrogate mother, and the father and mother.


    Didn''t he think about it before he did it? Since little treasure was born without a mother, she may not be recognized by her family, and may be despised by the outside world. This kind of unchangeable background may affect her life.


    Although father and mother gu were strong and unreasonable, as parents, no one would want their son to have a child with an unknown woman.


    And...


    Ye zhi skillfully used the afterglow to secretly look at gu mohan''s side face, and her heart was not feeling good.


    He had a child with a woman he didn''t know and didn''t have any emotional foundation. Wouldn''t he have a moment of... Disgust?


    Suddenly, her mind was in a mess. Ye zhiqiao was just about to suggest that she go out alone to relax. On the second floor of the coffee shop, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.


    In fact, she did not know the uninvited guest, but the man came straight in the direction of the few people as soon as he went upstairs with a familiar smile on his face, while gu Mohan, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye had an elusive expression on their faces. In a moment, she understood that the identity of the person was not simple.


    Shen Qingyuan greeted a few people, then looked at the sofa where gu Mohan, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were sitting. She turned to jian mengqi and Qin Baiye on the other side and said, "Miss jian, Mr. Qin, may I have the honor of having a cup of coffee with you?"


    The two of them looked at gu mohan together. Seeing that the latter looked calm, they nodded in agreement and made way for him.


    Except for little treasure, who was half asleep and half awake, the other five sat opposite each other. Four of them looked at the outsider as if they were waiting for him to reveal his intentions.


    Shen Qingyuan laughed twice and jokingly said, "Don''t be so defensive against me! This time, shen has taken the liberty to come here, and there is indeed some important news to be revealed to everyone."


    Shen mou?


    Ye zhiqiao tried to search in her mind if she had ever seen this person.

 Chapter 208 Who Was the Mole?

    Before ye zhiqiao could think of a reason, shen Qingyuan had already asked, "Miss ye probably doesn''t know me yet, does she?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled politely and nodded.


    Gu mohan did not like the roundabout conversation between shen Qingyuan and ye zhiqiao, "President shen Qingyuan, president of Shen shi group."


    Shen Qingyuan had never heard of it, but ye zhiqiao, the Shen shi, knew that she smiled at shen Qingyuan and greeted him, "Hello, president shen."


    Shen Qingyuan agreed with a smile on his face, then said, "I actually came here today for miss ye."


    When he said this, the people on the table couldn''t help but look at each other. He and ye zhiqiao didn''t know each other before. What for ye zhiqiao?


    Only gu mohan was unaffected and asked calmly, "I don''t know what president shen means. Just tell me."


    "Hahaha, president gu is happy." Shen Qingyuan praised her thoughtlessly, then said mysteriously, "I heard that the studio miss ye recently worked in... Oh, that is, something unusual happened to miss jane''s studio, and I have found out the reason."


    Shen Qingyuan''s mysterious appearance really frightened the other three people besides gu mohan. Jian mengqi was impatient and asked directly, "What''s the reason? Say it!"


    "Well..." Shen Qingyuan looked at gu mohan with a smile and said meaningfully, "It depends on what president gu wants to say or not."


    "Ah? Why should I see what he means?" Jian mengqi asked again.


    At this time, anyone with a little brain would know that there must be something going on between shen Qingyuan and gu mohan. Seeing that jian mengqi was still following her without thinking, Qin Baiye could not help but hold his forehead secretly and then reached under the table and poked her leg.


    Jian mengqi was impatient, but she was not stupid. After asking, she came back to her senses. At this moment, she was stabbed by Qin Baiye helplessly and immediately became honest.


    Gu mohan, on the other hand, did not seem to notice their movements at all. He looked at shen Qingyuan with a pair of dark eyes.


    He already knew all of shen Qingyuan''s methods. No matter how heavy a bomb shen Qingyuan used now, it was no longer a clown in his eyes. In that case, it''s not hard to see what tricks he has.


    Gu mohan made a "Please" gesture to signal him to continue.


    Shen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. He wrinkled his nose and said, "Miss jane has a mole in her studio."


    The words startled everyone, and even gu Mohan was stunned.


    Jian mengqi was even more shocked. There was a mole in the studio. She had already told ye zhiqiao about this suspicion, and after several days of investigation, she had basically confirmed her suspicions, but so far, she had not caught the mole.


    She was the serious boss of the studio, and it was difficult to find out about it. Shen Qingyuan, an outsider, didn''t even have a relationship with the studio. How did he find out about this? And looking at him, he was so sure that he had a clue.


    However, these are not important, the most important thing is that the inner ghost really exists, and its purpose is to harm ye zhiqiao, and now even an outsider can easily find out what is going on inside the studio, which shows how flawed the studio is now.


    On this point, jian mengqi had long been unformed ideas, and just took this opportunity to say it.


    "Zhiqiao, it''s not safe in the studio right now. I''ll give you a long vacation. You can take this opportunity to rest for a few days. When I find out who the mole is, can you come back to work?"


    Ye zhiqiao asked in surprise, "You don''t have to be so troublesome, do you? I work according to the schedule. Even if someone tries to hurt me, there''s no reason for it. Don''t worry too much."


    "But..." Jian mengqi still had to persuade.


    Shen Qingyuan raised his hand in time to stop them and said, "Why don''t you listen to me? Miss ye doesn''t need a vacation. Miss jane doesn''t need to worry..."


    "Why?" Both of them asked.


    Shen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Because I have found this mole."


    "Got it?" Jian mengqi exclaimed, "Impossible!"


    She had been searching for so many days without any progress, how could he have found it out casually?


    At this moment, gu mohan''s mood was similar to that of jian mengqi. He had been following this matter with others until this moment, and he could not get any more clues than jian mengqi. Looking at shen Qingyuan, he seemed to have a certain ambition, not like he was lying.


    Shen Qingyuan could guess what everyone was thinking from the look on his face. He did not continue to play tricks and said directly, "That mole is not one of himself, or in a malicious incident, she was entangled with another person."


    "Who?"


    "Xiaorui."


    Hearing the name, ye zhiqiao immediately frowned. For some reason, she felt very familiar with the name, as if she had heard it somewhere.


    Suddenly, she looked up and asked shen Qingyuan, "Is Xiaorui... A third-tier actress?" She remembered that she had met this Xiaorui a few months ago, when Xiaorui was yi chen''s girlfriend, but yi chen didn''t seem to take this girlfriend seriously and broke up with xiao rui in front of her. At that time, the girl seemed very angry and looked at her with an extremely bad look. Could it be because of this...


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao seemed to know the woman mentioned by shen Qingyuan and had a sudden realization on her face, gu mohan could not help but ponder in his heart, "Shen Qingyuan is really not simple. It seems that I underestimated him before. In a few days, he was able to find out exactly what was going on. I used to think that this guy was just an ordinary businessman who only knew how to butter up and talk. Now it seems like he''s a bit of a connoisseur. He might come in handy in the future."


    All of a sudden, the few of them stopped talking, their faces expressionless, and they didn''t know what they were thinking. Jian mengqi could not bear it. Ignoring Qin Baiye''s obstruction, she asked directly, "Who is that mole? You''ve been talking for a long time, but the central character didn''t mention it at all!"


    "Haha, miss jane is in a hurry? Blame me, blame me." Shen Qingyuan''s voice suddenly dropped. He leaned forward near the table and blurted out his name.


    "Her?!"


    The first to cry out were jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao, and the remaining two also showed surprised expressions.


    Qin Baiye had never seen that person before, so he had no say. Gu Mohan, on the other hand, had seen the man a few times. Not only had he never raised any doubts in his speech, but he had even diverted his investigation because of his words.

 Chapter 209 The Way to Deal with the Mole

    Ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi were even more frightened.


    The time the mole entered the studio, her resume and ability were obvious to all of them. If any of the suspicions were directed at her, they would immediately be able to associate the whole thing with her, but from the current situation and understanding, there was really nothing suspicious about the mole.


    "There''s nothing to doubt. That''s exactly what''s most suspicious." Qin Baiye said.


    He was the only person who had never been in contact with the mole and had no knowledge of the mole. After listening to the combination of several people and the introduction as "Objective" as possible, he had some ideas of his own.


    "Not long after she first entered the studio, she was very capable. There was nothing suspicious in the extensive investigation of jian mengqi."


    Qin Baiye turned to ask jian mengqi, "When you were investigating, did you suspect any employees who worked in the studio for more than a year?"


    Without thinking, jian mengqi replied, "Yes, not only for three years, there is a senior employee who has been following me since the establishment of the studio. I have been suspicious for a long time."


    "Why?"


    "He went to the bathroom too long during a recent general meeting. He said he was a little constipated, but..."


    "All right, all right." Qin Baiye quickly told her to stop, or else she might say something earth-shattering later.


    Jian mengqi calmed down in the crowd''s stifled laughter and prepared to continue listening to Qin Baiye. But Qin Baiye no longer needed to explain, because everyone understood.


    Not only did he understand, but he was even certain.


    This time, gu mohan was the first to say, "Now that you have identified the mole, the next step is to think of a way."


    "Eh? How can I be sure? What can I do?"


    Jian mengqi turned her head and looked back and forth between the four of them for a long time. Qin Baiye couldn''t stand it anymore. She explained helplessly, "Because she pretended so well that she wouldn''t think much of it alone, but compared with others, she looked too different. And during this time, she has been around you and ye zhiqiao, learning to talk to you or trying to figure out ye zhiqiao''s psychology, which can be easily done."


    "Oh-" after listening to qin baiye''s explanation, jian mengqi''s long reflex arc finally reached the end, and then asked, "Then gu Mohan said to think of a way, is it to get rid of the ghost?"


    They all said, "What do you think?" He looked at her.


    "Oh." Jian mengqi bowed her head and agreed. In order to prove her intelligence, she immediately thought of a way and shouted, "Isn''t it easy to get rid of her? The studio is my world. I used to be my enemy in the dark, so I fell for her. This time... Hmph..."


    She shrank her neck and smiled twice. As she slowly clenched her fingers, she said, "As long as I pretend to hand in a project for zhiqiao, then I will arrange for her to come to zhiqiao''s side. When the time comes, she will find a loophole, and she will definitely follow it. When the time comes..."


    As she spoke, she began to wink at the others.


    The person who tried to figure it out was a little cocky, but...


    "It''s a good idea." Gu mohan was the first to agree, "It''s just a weak mole. The only advantage is that she''s hiding her identity. Now that this advantage has disappeared, there really isn''t much need for advanced methods to deal with her."


    "Gu mohan!" Jian mengqi glared at her and asked, "Are you saying that I''m inferior?"


    Gu mohan spread his hands to show his innocence.


    The strategy had taken shape, and the "Meeting" of the group could be concluded temporarily.


    Today, it was rare for shen Qingyuan not to pester gu mohan, but to let him go kindly when he heard that several people were ready to leave.


    He was an individual, giving gu mohan the benefit of not asking for anything in return, and after that, he might ask for something embarrassing, so gu mohan did not stand on ceremony with him. Leave immediately after leaving.


    Walking out of the coffee shop, jian mengqi was just about to think of ye zhi Qiaojia continuing to party. Gu mohan had already said one step ahead of her, "Let''s sit in my car first. There are some things that need to be discussed in depth."


    In-depth discussion?


    This advanced vocabulary confused the rest of them, but they still got in the car.


    Qin Baiye drove, gu mohan sat in the passenger seat, and ye zhi coincidentally sat in the back row with little treasure and jian mengqi sleeping soundly.


    Before the car started, jian mengqi hugged the back of the chair in front of her and asked, "Gu mohan, what are you going to discuss with us? I thought scientists with square glasses would say such a big word."


    Qin Baiye was sure that if it weren''t for the fact that he was driving now, he would have stitched up jian mengqi''s mouth with a thread.


    Gu mohan, on the other hand, was still leisurely, adjusting the temperature in the car as he said, "Let''s give up on the plan and start anew."


    "Oh-what?!" After hearing the subconscious promise, jian mengqi immediately reacted.


    Ye zhiqiao did not understand what gu mohan was thinking, so she leaned forward and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your strategy? Is there a loophole in that one?"


    "That''s right. If there''s a loophole, you can tell it!"" Don''t forget, in the coffee shop, master gu is the first person to raise both hands in favor of my idea.


    Gu mohan sighed helplessly. He pretended to agree with jian mengqi, but when did he raise both hands in agreement?


    "You don''t trust that shen?" Qin Baiye asked calmly.


    Gu mohan patted him on the shoulder and said nothing, but the two of them understood the meaning.


    Shen Qingyuan didn''t know how honest this man was, but as far as he was concerned, he was a very shrewd person. He could help gu Mohan this time. Next time, if gu mohan couldn''t satisfy him, he could turn against him. This kind of hidden danger, gu mohan must prevent it from happening.


    Ye zhiqiao also roughly understood gu mohan''s thoughts at this time and asked, "So you already have an idea?"


    Gu mohan nodded and then said, "This method of mine is a little more troublesome than before. Not only is it for dealing with insiders, but that third-tier starlet can''t let it go."


    That woman almost made ye zhiqiao and yi chen... How could he swallow that!


    Ye zhiqiao pouted, "Oh" and stopped talking.


    Jian mengqi then urged, "Then tell me your method. It''s all waiting!"


    Gu mohan looked out the window at the colorful neon flashes and said slowly, "Let''s start with what you said before. Give zhiqiao a long vacation, and then..."

 Chapter 210 Director of the New Studio

    On monday morning, gu chengyan arrived at the company as usual. When he took the elevator upstairs, he heard his colleagues mysteriously gathering together to gossip.


    This situation is too much. After all, work is boring, and people always want to find some fun from others. Ye yiyu used to do the same, but now gu chengyan only relied on one belief to support him.


    "Ai chengyan, weren''t you close to designer ye a while ago? Did you hear any inside information?"


    "Hmm?" Suddenly confused, gu chengyan asked, "What inside information? Ye zhi... Is something wrong with ye zong?"


    Another female colleague came over and said in surprise, "Don''t you know? President jian gave designer ye a long vacation!"


    "Yes, yes, designer ye designed the next season''s series of clothes. Before the project was completed, the designer was given a holiday, but he had never heard of it. Cheng yan, is there a conflict between jane and ye design? Tell us about it!"


    Ye zhiqiao took a vacation?!


    "Where did you hear the news from?!" Gu chengyan raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.


    Her sudden mood swings stunned all the colleagues present. Just at this moment, the elevator arrived and they all rushed out, not only did someone say, "President jian said it in the work group yesterday..."


    Gu chengyan took out his cell phone and clicked into the group chat in the studio. As expected, he saw the news that jian mengqi was going to give ye zhiqiao a holiday at around 10 pm last night.


    She slept early yesterday, so she didn''t see it.


    Gu chengyan''s worried assistant office sat on a chair and then swept a pile of documents from the corner of the table onto the floor.


    Ye zhiqiao actually took a vacation! She finally looked forward to the stars and the moon and turned ye zhiqiao into a project designer of the studio. She actually said that she would take a vacation! When ye zhiqiao was here, she still needed to look for an opportunity to do it. What would she do if ye zhiqiao was not here?!


    Gu chengyan was panting heavily, his chest heaved violently, and his head was completely empty.


    Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.


    Standing outside the door, jian mengqi looked surprised and said, "Ah! Chengyan, are you here? I didn''t see any coffee on the table. I thought you weren''t here yet."


    The first thing gu chengyan did when he arrived at the company every morning was to make a cup of coffee for jian mengqi. Today, he was so angry that he forgot about it.


    "I''m sorry, president jian." Gu chengyan stood up and apologized, then explained, "I just got here too. I caught a cold when I slept last night and thought about taking the medicine before I went over."


    Jian mengqi waved her hand easily, "It''s okay, it''s okay. You should rest well when you''re sick. You don''t have to work so hard. You''re doing a lot better than most people anyway... Hey, what''s wrong with the ground?"


    Gu chengyan lowered his head and saw a pile of documents scattered around the corner of the table. He hurriedly squatted down to clean it up and explained as he picked it up, "I accidentally knocked it off. Go ahead and do your work. I''ll clean this place up soon and then go make coffee."


    "Yeah, no rush." Jian mengqi nodded and stopped when she was about to leave. She turned around and said, "Bring your id when you come."


    "... Oh."


    Gu chengyan watched jian mengqi leave with a key ring, not knowing what medicine she was selling.


    What are you doing with your id?


    Gu chengyan found his id card from his bag, and the face in the photo was unfamiliar to her. Since her plastic surgery, she rarely looked in the mirror again. Although this face is not uglier than before, or much more exquisite, the things that accompany her for more than 20 years are not easy to put down.


    Now, she wears two masks every day, one on her face and one in her heart, and the main culprit of all this is ye zhiqiao!


    She fastened her id card to the table, leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.


    It was good that ye zhiqiao left for a while.


    The previous designs: rumors of pregnancy, tv station backstabbing, and studio backstabbing all ended in failure. It could be said that ye zhiqiao was lucky to escape once, but the only possibility of escaping again and again was that her plan was not strict enough.


    Now she could take advantage of ye zhiqiao''s time off to cultivate and recuperate. First, to avoid the storm, after all, she was careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years. Second, she could use this time to plan again and design a trap for ye zhiqiao to avoid.


    Thinking of this, gu chengyan''s mood suddenly became much clearer. She walked briskly to the tea room to make a full cup of coffee and sent it to jian mengqi''s office.


    Jian mengqi was sorting out a file when she saw her come in. She pointed to the chair opposite her and asked her to come and sit down.


    "President jian, if you have any work to do, just say it. I''ll just stand there." Gu chengyan said politely.


    Jian mengqi stood up with a smile, put her hands on her shoulders and pressed them down. She said in a long voice, "You''d better sit down. When we meet again, we''ll probably sit opposite each other."


    "Ah? What did you say?" Gu chengyan was confused.


    Jian mengqi pushed a contract in front of her and finally solved the mystery, "This is a letter of intent about transferring you to the new studio to be the person in charge. I am about to sign it, and then you. As long as you sign it, you will be a leader in the future!"


    "I''m in charge?!" Gu chengyan asked incredulously.


    She knew that jian mengqi had opened a new studio, but it was a bit hasty to let her, as an assistant, be the head of the company, and there was no sign that it was a temporary decision.


    Gu chengyan repeatedly waved his hand and refused, "It''s not suitable for president jian. This... Such a difficult task, I should... I can''t finish it."


    If she really left, there would be fewer opportunities to get close to ye zhiqiao in the future.


    "What can''t be done?" Jian mengqi gave a "Tsk" and said half-jokingly, "You are a good person everywhere, but you are too timid. You said that since you entered the studio, I''ve been basically in a state of recuperation all day. You''ve done all the work for me. Now that I give you this new studio, I''m just going to let you put your talents to good use."


    "President jian, I still..."


    "All right, all right." Jian mengqi waved her hand and said impatiently, "It''s settled. We''ll talk about the salary when you settle down. It will definitely satisfy you."


    She said so. Gu chengyan had no reason to continue fighting for it. Promotion and salary increase were the goal of everyone in the workplace. If they kept rejecting it, it would be suspicious, but...


    Gu chengyan raised his head and secretly looked at jian mengqi who had signed the letter of intent. He always felt something was wrong.

 Chapter 211 Scapegoat

    A while ago, jian mengqi had been doing a lot of research on the ghost in the studio, which made most people panicked. Gu chengyan was secretly glad that she was not there. But now, jian mengqi''s approach is not to test her, is it?


    The head of the new studio, not to mention many years of work experience, from the status alone, at least a senior management figure, and she only came to the studio for how long? Although jian mengqi has always appreciated her ability and has always wanted to promote her, it is not too childish to be the person in charge.


    Jian mengqi''s personality was indeed a little careless and informal, but making such a sudden decision still made people doubt her intentions.


    The more times like this, the less you can be careless.


    As gu chengyan signed the letter of intent, he thought to himself, "If jian mengqi really has doubts about her, then the purpose of this action is to separate her from ye zhiqiao, so that she has no chance to attack ye zhiqiao."


    However, it was not the first thing to do to ye zhiqiao now. The most important thing was to maintain her current status and clear the suspicion.


    "President jian." Gu chengyan placed the signed letter of intent in front of jian mengqi and pondered for a moment, "I really appreciate your trust in me and giving me such a good opportunity, but... I have a cruel request. I wonder if you can..."


    Jian mengqi raised her eyebrows, "Go ahead."


    "That''s... Molly... She had been begging me for help with something before, but although we were close, I didn''t think it was good to be selfish in the company, so I haven''t spoken to you. Now I''m leaving. If I can''t help her, I feel a little uncomfortable."


    Seeing gu chengyan''s embarrassed face, jian mengqi nodded and promised, "You can say it. As long as it''s not too difficult, it''s fine."


    "Really?" Gu chengyan clapped his hands in surprise and then said, "Molly said that she adores designer ye, but she never has the opportunity to study closely. When I heard that you and design ye have a good relationship, I wanted to ask you to transfer her to design ye as a small assistant or something."


    Jian mengqi heard the deep meaning of "Oh -" and said, "Be an assistant? Zhiqiao already has a very good assistant. You know that, don''t you?"


    "Yes, of course I know." Jian mengqi''s reaction was exactly what gu chengyan wanted to see. She purposely said Molly''s name to distract jian mengqi.


    It seemed that the first step had been successful. Jian mengqi had already raised her interest in molly, and gu chengyan took advantage of the situation to add to the fire, "I''ve told her several times, but she was so preoccupied with thinking about ye designer and saying'' a lower salary is fine''. Oh yes, she also said that she was afraid of being misunderstood and told me not to tell anyone about this."


    "... Okay, I got it." Jian mengqi nodded with an ambiguous smile.


    ...


    Gu chengyan left jian mengqi''s office and returned to his office. Seeing that there was no one around, he called Molly.


    Molly was also an employee of jian mengqi''s studio and worked much longer than gu chengyan. However, she had recently asked for leave because of her family affairs, which was why she came into gu chengyan''s sight.


    Gu chengyan had expected that as long as she designed ye zhiqiao, she would be seen by jian mengqi sooner or later, so as early as she came to the studio, she had been secretly selecting the person who could be the scapegoat at the most critical moment. The last night, she tricked ye zhiqiao to the studio, and the male employee who scared ye zhiqiao a lot from the door was the one she had tried. However, the man was too timid and had no ambition or desire. He was designed like a fool without knowing what was going on and could not help at all.


    Then she noticed Molly.


    Molly was smart, competitive and greedy. Most importantly, he often took time off during this period. First of all, in the eyes of others, she had the time and ability to frame ye zhiqiao. Second...


    Gu chengyan begged for jian mengqi''s matter. Jian mengqi agreed to transfer Molly to ye zhiqiao, but the salary would be lower. Then Molly, who loved money as much as his life, would definitely not swallow this tone. If it started, she might do something out of line. At that time, it would definitely make jian mengqi doubt her intentions.


    While gu chengyan was getting excited about his brilliant plan, a message came through the receiver, "The phone you dialed is turned off."


    She suddenly raised her phone in front of her eyes and stared at the screen for a long time. Then she dialed it five or six times in a row, but it was turned off. Then she ran to Molly''s office and found no one. Other colleagues said that Molly had just gone to the bathroom and hadn''t seen him come back.


    But there was no one in the bathroom.


    What did Molly do? I saw him in the elevator this morning! In less than two hours, a living person disappeared?!


    The more gu chengyan thought about it, the more terrifying it became. The bulge in her chest made her head buzzing.


    Today''s events were so strange that even though she had been comforting herself, she could not help but panic. At such a moment, the only person she could think of was bai zixuan, who immediately took advantage of the lunch break to ask him out.


    "Oh, it''s been a long time since miss gu turned over my brand!" Bai zixuan leaned against the hotel bed and mumbled with a cigarette in his mouth.


    Gu chengyan glanced at him and turned to sit on the sofa.


    Ever since bai zixuan saved her life, the bad temper on her body had become apparent. In the past, when two people were together, they would always pretend to be a gentleman. Now it seemed that there was no need for that.


    Also, she was not the ye family''s favorite second miss, not only did bai zixuan not continue to curry favor with her, but he could rely on the identity of the savior to command her, just kidding, it was normal.


    Gu chengyan let out a slow breath and looked up, "There''s something wrong with the studio. Jian mengqi may have some doubts about me. I want... To ask you for help."


    "Easy to say!"


    Bai zixuan agreed without thinking, then narrowed his eyes and said in a seductive voice, "But I have missed you for a long time. It''s a little sad to talk about business as soon as we meet."


    He patted the white bedsheets on his side, a wicked smile on his lips, "Come on, let me study it carefully. After the face is fixed, will there be any changes on my body?"


    Heh!


    Gu chengyan sneered in his heart, then stood up and walked slowly to his side...

 Chapter 212 One Wrong Step at a Time

    After the exercise, bai zixuan leaned against the bed and smoked. Gu chengyan changed into his business suit and came out of the bathroom. He walked up to him and asked softly, "I''m going to work?"


    "Go ahead." Bai zixuan nodded, then sat up a little, spat out a circle of eyes and said, "Don''t worry about that. I''ll take care of it."


    Gu chengyan agreed, took his bag and walked out of the room.


    In the afternoon, when she was about to leave work, Molly reappeared at the company. She went straight to jian mengqi''s office. Not long after, there was a quarrel, followed by crying and scolding.


    Gu chengyan went in once under the banner of delivering documents. Molly was being scolded by jian mengqi. What kind of treachery and ingratitude? Almost all the words that jian mengqi could think of came out.


    After work, jian mengqi specially asked the people in the studio to stay for a while. She publicly announced that Molly was the hidden ghost in the studio, made the decision to expel her, and issued a statement in the industry, calling on all the colleagues in the industry to never hire such a weakling.


    Gu chengyan''s heart finally relaxed after a day of mentioning it. The next day, he reported to his new studio on time.


    "Chengyan? Why are you still here?" When jian mengqi passed by the assistant office, she suddenly stopped and asked gu chengyan, who was talking to her colleagues inside.


    Gu chengyan hurriedly said goodbye to his old colleague, ran out with a stack of documents in his arms, and greeted him with a cheerful face, "Hello, president jian. I''m back to get some useful information. I''m leaving."


    "Oh." Jian mengqi patted her on the shoulder and encouraged, "Okay, then do your best."


    "President jian, wait a minute!"


    Seeing that jian mengqi was leaving, gu chengyan chased after her and said, "President jian, several designers in the new studio are very curious about the works designed by ye. I wonder if president jian can give me face and give me a manuscript of ye''s design this time so that I can go back and show off to them."


    "You want the manuscript designed by ye? This can''t be done. This time, the series hasn''t been sold yet. Now take it out. What if it''s leaked?" Jian mengqi disapproved.


    Gu chengyan explained, "That''s not what I meant." She lowered her head and said sheepishly, "I''m a newcomer. I just arrived at the studio and I''m not familiar with the place. It''s inevitable that some of the old employees will be relying on their elders to sell their elders. I thought that if I could get the manuscript of ye''s design, I could scare them and manage it better. Besides, I only need one, and it wouldn''t cause any bad effects."


    "Well..."


    After a long pause, jian mengqi shook her head and said, "No, it''s against the rules. If you encounter any difficulties in your new studio, come to me immediately. You are the person I trained. I will definitely support you."


    "... Then... Okay." Gu chengyan was instantly depressed and tried to keep a smile on his face, "Thank you, president jian."


    Jian mengqi nodded and walked around her towards the office.


    Pushing open the door of the office, a teasing voice came from inside, "No, it''s against the rules. Let me support you!"


    Jian mengqi stared at gu mohan, who was deliberately imitating her. She picked up the pen holder by the table and was about to throw it over.


    Ye zhiqiao pushed gu mohan''s back before she moved and whispered, "Don''t bully mengqi."


    "Look at Zhiqiao, who is also living together. How can there be such a big difference in life?!" Jian mengqi pulled ye zhiqiao to sit down on the sofa and angrily insulted gu mohan.


    Gu mohan looked at her with his usual cold eyes. Just as he was about to answer, he saw ye zhiqiao''s warning eyes and immediately lost his temper. He took a long step and sat down beside ye zhiqiao without saying a word.


    The two "War" subsided, and ye zhiqiao asked jian mengqi, "Gu chengyan just asked you for my manuscript?"


    Jian mengqi nodded, "Yes, gu chengyan''s suspicions have been completely dispelled since I treated Molly as an insider yesterday. I heard from the people I planted in the new studio that gu chengyan had been sneaking around since he arrived, but it didn''t seem like he was doing anything good."


    Gu mohan interjected, "It should be a re-planning of framing Zhiqiao."


    "Of course." Jian mengqi said in a loud voice, "I just didn''t expect her to be so bold that she would dare to openly start from me and ask for Zhiqiao''s manuscript. Can she understand her?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was amused by her exaggerated expression, and gu mohan also curved his lips.


    Jian mengqi continued, "Did you see it just now? She said the way she looked when she was bullied by an old employee, if she hadn''t been on guard, I might have been fooled by her amazing acting skills."


    For this, gu mohan agreed with a "Yes."


    Jian mengqi did not hear his voice and said to herself, "Now looking at gu chengyan is like watching a tv show. She knows it''s fake, but she can''t help but stare at it seriously. She really wants to see how she''s going to act!"


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked at each other, indicating that they felt the same way.


    "What do we do after that?" Jian mengqi turned her head and asked.


    Gu mohan stared at the potted plants on the coffee table, lost in thought. After a while, he replied, "The first stage has been very successful. Now, it''s time for the second step."


    Jian mengqi frowned and thought hard, "What''s the second step?"


    "Third tier star, Xiaorui." Ye zhiqiao whispered in her ear.


    One wrong step at a time.


    Xiaorui was influenced by his strong jealousy. First, president jin, who had devoted himself to the agency, was recorded as evidence. Then, he murdered ye zhiqiao in return for gu chengyan''s "Saving grace."


    Doing bad things is like sinking into a quagmire. As long as you sink further, you can only sink deeper and deeper. Now, she understood the meaning of this sentence.


    After that day, she received several "Relief" notices from her friends, but she did not agree to any of them.


    Not only did she push the notice, she didn''t even dare to take a step out of the house, not in anyone''s presence.


    Because now, both president jin and gu chengyan had her in their hands. She didn''t want to be a dog, obey orders, or become a plaything in other people''s hands, so before she could think of a solution, she had to hide.


    As time passed, she would stand by the window and look up at the sky whenever the sun rose or the sun set.


    She did not know how much longer she would have to live in prison, or how long she would have to last. Every minute and second she was frightened, her body and mind seemed to be bitten by a swarm of ants. There was no difference between life and death.

 Chapter 213 She Was the One Who Slandered Me

    "Ding-dong - ding-dong -"


    The doorbell suddenly rang, shaking Xiaorui, who was wandering by the window, before he realized that it was probably the takeout he had just ordered.


    The door opened, and it turned out to be a uniformed delivery man.


    "Hello, this is the lunch you ordered from our restaurant. Have a good meal."


    Xiaorui nodded casually. Just as he was about to close the door, a hand suddenly reached into the gap. The waiter opened the door apologetically and said, "I''m sorry. A gentleman under the building asked me to help you. I just forgot."


    "Sir?" Xiaorui was shocked and subconsciously looked behind the waiter and asked, "What kind of sir?"


    The waiter scratched his head, "I didn''t pay attention to that. It looks pretty rich anyway. Hehe... Then enjoy your meal. I still have food to deliver. Goodbye."


    Xiaorui closed the door again, walked into the living room with the food box, and sat on the sofa before opening the note he had taken from the waiter.


    The words on the note were simple, but it made her heart rise to her throat.


    One o'' clock in the afternoon, room 305 on the third floor of Alex Hua Tian hotel. Do you remember what happened here? If not...


    At the end was a smiling face. The round lines should make people feel warm and lovely, but at this time, Xiaorui only had fear in her heart.


    In room 305 of the Alex Hua Tian hotel, she had only been there once, just a few days ago, with... President jin.


    Is he really here to cause trouble? That audio... Was he really going to use that audio to threaten her for the rest of her life?!


    Xiaorui was so shocked and angry that he immediately changed his clothes and was ready to go to the appointment. When he left, he didn''t forget to throw the damn lunch into the trash can.


    Since you can''t hide, why don''t you just tell me what you want to say? She had no ability, but the rabbit would bite when it was urgent. She could not live forever under the threat of others, and could not never never see the sun.


    When she arrived at the Alex Hua Tian hotel and stood at the door of room 305, her initial anger almost reached its peak.


    She could not forget this room, nor could she forget the humiliation, regret, and vexation of that time!


    Bang bang!!"


    Instead of ringing the doorbell, she knocked with all her might and suddenly realized that the door was unlocked.


    "Is anyone there?" There was no sound inside. As she walked inside, she asked in a low voice, "President jin? Is that you?"


    She walked through the living room and entered the bedroom. When she saw the person sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, her pupils suddenly dilated.


    "It''s you?!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her emotionlessly, stood up and stood steadily opposite her.


    At this time, Xiaorui''s face was already flushed red, and he had no energy to think about why ye zhiqiao knew about this place. All he could think about was what happened to her during this period of time.


    She was broken up by yi chen, abandoned by her original agency, threatened by president jin, and forced by gu chengyan...


    If it weren''t for ye zhiqiao, all of this wouldn''t have happened. If she was still a girlfriend of yichen, she might have been very popular already, instead of becoming such a shrinking turtle now. It was all because of ye zhiqiao. It was all because of ye zhiqiao, this bitch!


    She searched around and saw that there was no suitable "Weapon," so she raised her hand and prepared to rush up to teach ye zhiqiao a lesson. However, she did not notice that the door of the room had been closed unconsciously.


    "Stop."


    When she was still some distance away from ye zhiqiao, a man''s voice that was not slow but could not be refuted suddenly sounded behind her. Subconsciously, she turned around and caught gu mohan''s cold eyes.


    Gu mohan looked her in the eye, his long legs calmly moving towards ye zhiqiao''s direction. He didn''t speak again until he stood by her side.


    Or in a cold and hard tone: "I don''t know what''s wrong?"


    Xiaorui was taken aback by his question, then understood what he meant, and immediately turned to look at ye zhiqiao, thinking to himself: so it was ye zhiqiao who found the backer? Did he bring her here on purpose to settle old scores?


    Thinking of this, she could not wait to rush up and tear ye zhiqiao''s hypocritical mask to shreds. However, because of gu mohan''s presence, she was afraid of gu mohan''s extremely intimidating aura and did not dare to act rashly.


    "What... Do you mean?" She pretended not to understand what he was saying.


    Gu mohan glanced at her and asked coldly, "Do I have to say it?"


    "...


    "A few months ago, after you broke up with yi chen, news of ye zhiqiao''s involvement in your relationship with yi chen suddenly appeared on the internet. That was the first time."


    Gu mohan stepped back and leaned against the armrest of the sofa, "Deal with the boss of the agency. I hope he can help you become famous and beat ye zhiqiao. This is the second time." He glanced at the soft bed, "Of course, you failed."


    "That night a few days ago, in jian mengqi''s studio, what did you do to ye zhi, who was alone, shouldn''t you forget? Even though it failed, this is the third time."


    "I didn''t!!"


    Although Xiaorui was shocked by gu mohan''s complete revelation of these things, she immediately denied it, "I don''t know what you''re talking about, and I haven''t done it! It''s all... It''s all... It''s all ye zhi''s fault!!"


    She suddenly pointed her finger at ye zhiqiao, trembling with excitement and said, "It was ye zhiqiao who lied!"


    "Now, do you still want to make a mistake?" Gu mohan narrowed his eyes and said faintly.


    "No, no! Mr. Gu... I know you are Mr. Gu, you believe me, it was really ye zhiqiao who lied to you! She''s slandering me!"


    Xiaorui ran to gu mohan and clasped her hands on her chest, "She''s not a woman who looks weak at all. She''s full of tricks. Are you helping her now because she promised to be with you? Don''t believe her. Really, she used to seduce yi chen. Yi chen likes me so much. If she hadn''t stopped me, I wouldn''t have ended up like this!"


    "Nonsense!" Ye zhiqiao frowned and glared at her, asking angrily, "When did I ever slander you? There is also the matter of yi chen, which you know better than anyone. At first, I can understand that you hurt me like that, but after such a long time, you still refuse to tell the truth?!"


    "Why didn''t I tell the truth?!" Xiaorui jumped and shouted, "Haven''t you seduced yi chen before? Didn''t you sleep with him? A woman like you, besides selling her body, is there any other way to keep a man?!"


    "Pa..."

 Chapter 214 Inside and Out

    Ye zhiqiao''s slowly lowered hand trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed with anger, but her voice was unusually calm, "I didn''t want to hit you at first. Although I was angry at what you did, I didn''t want to be ordinary with you. But what you just said was too much."


    Xiaorui covered his numb side face and stared incredulously at the woman opposite him, unable to react for a moment.


    Gu mohan took a file bag from the table, poured the contents onto the sofa and said, "Look, you shouldn''t be so righteous after that."


    There were a few photos and papers scattered on the sofa.


    Xiaorui bent down and picked them up one by one. Each time he looked at one more, his face turned pale.


    The id she posted on the internet, the transaction information she bought for the navy, the text message records with her friends, the surveillance footage of president jin walking into the hotel room one after another, the plastic pipe in the trash can in the studio, and so on, were all evidence that could prove what she had done, not even the chance to argue.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao stood opposite her, silent, waiting for her answer.


    "These... These things... I... I did..." She lowered her head, gritted her teeth and admitted, not daring to even look at their reactions.


    She had harmed ye zhiqiao more than once. Gu mohan was obviously defending ye zhiqiao. If gu Mohan wanted to avenge ye zhiqiao, ten of her were no match.


    No, keep the green mountains here, not afraid of firewood! She couldn''t just let people kill her like this. At the worst, finding a place to continue living in the dark like these days would be much better than being retaliated by gu mohan.


    Having made up her mind, she looked up and pretended to be regretful, "I''m sorry... It''s all my fault... It''s all my fault..."


    As he spoke, he slowly moved towards the bedroom door.


    "Give me a chance, I won''t dare to do it again!" Before she could finish her sentence, she had already turned and rushed out of the bedroom, running out of the room.


    Gu mohan was still standing there calmly, not surprised at all, and not ready to pursue anyone.


    One minute later.


    "President gu." A man in black threw xiao rui on the sofa, then stood up straight and waited for gu mohan''s order.


    Gu mohan said "Yes" and then said, "Get out."


    "Yes."


    After the man left, Xiaorui got up from the sofa with tears all over his face and asked in despair, "What are you going to do? Do I have to die to be willing?!"


    As soon as she ran out of the room, she was pinned to the ground by someone gu mohan had brought over in two or three steps, then thrown back under her arm like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.


    She''s human! No matter how many wrongdoings she did, she still had to live like a human being. She really had enough of these days of grievances. She would never feel threatened again!!


    Next to the sofa was the bedroom door, which was made of extremely hard wood. If you hit it with your head and use more strength, you should die, right? Xiaorui thought to himself.


    Her eyes were fixed on the door frame, and the corners of her mouth widened.


    It would be better if she died, and it would be over. As for the living, they must pay the price for her death!!


    Her body instantly arched up, and then she rushed towards the door frame like an arrow off a string.


    "Ah!!"


    There was no imagined pain from hitting a hard object on the top of her head. Instead, her shoulder was held back by a powerful force.


    Xiaorui opened his eyes and saw the white shirt under gu mohan''s suit.


    Seeing that she was no longer moving around, gu mohan released his hand and took two steps back to stand up straight, straightening up the wrinkles on his suit before he said, "You want to die? Even though you deserve to die, living and suffering makes me feel better."


    Xiaorui looked at gu mohan in shock. She could not believe that such a noble and god-like man would spit out such a terrible and vicious word.


    If she didn''t die and survived, she could only suffer.


    However, she had no way out.


    After a long silence, Xiaorui withdrew his hand from the wall, steadied himself, took a few steps in ye zhiqiao''s direction, and then stopped in gu mohan''s warning gaze.


    She bent down and bowed properly to ye zhiqiao, then said slowly, "I''m sorry, I was wrong about those things in the past. I shouldn''t be jealous of your good luck. I shouldn''t have blindly harmed you. Can you... Forgive me? Give me a chance, will you?"


    "... Ye zhiqiao did not speak and looked down at her.


    She had no choice but to continue, "What happened in the studio was what gu mohan told me to do. She saved me when I fainted and asked me to repay it. But from a few conversations with her, I heard something else. Last time, it didn''t seem like gu chengyan had hurt you for the first time. She should have done something before that."


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan already knew what gu chengyan had done. Xiaorui''s words did not surprise them at all.


    Ye zhiqiao asked softly, "Are you telling me this in exchange for my forgiveness?"


    Xiaorui was puzzled, but still nodded, "That''s right."


    "... I won''t forgive you." Ye zhiqiao smiled calmly, but her relaxed tone was incomparably firm, "If you do something wrong, you should pay the price. I am not the savior. I don''t have such a benevolent heart. I can''t do anything with my current heart."


    Xiaorui''s face turned livid and asked tentatively, "What do you want?"


    "Do me a favor." Ye zhiqiao said without hesitation.


    "What is it?"


    Ye zhiqiao folded her arms around her chest and glanced at gu mohan, then said, "Gu chengyan, we have investigated what she has done. Now we need you to come back to her and cooperate with our plan."


    "Help you hurt her?"


    Ye zhiqiao frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think we are harming her?"


    "No, that''s not what I meant." Xiaorui waved his hand and said, "I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak, so she continued, "If you could invite me here today, I think you already know what happened between me and president jin. The last time I did it with him... With him... Just to get on top of him..."


    Xiaorui bit his lip, skipped the word, and said, "He has a bad audio for me and threatened me with that. I can''t swallow it. If you can help me destroy the audio and avenge me, then I will do my best to help you with what you said."

 Chapter 215 There Were More Terrible Things than Death

    "Impossible."


    Before ye zhiqiao could respond, gu mohan had already opened his mouth and mercilessly rejected Xiaorui''s request.


    Xiaorui frowned and asked, "Why can''t you agree? This is an exchange of equal value!"


    "Equivalent exchange?" Gu mo gave a cold laugh and asked, "Who taught you that you can be controlled by others and exchange them for the same price?"


    "I..."


    "Xiaorui, listen carefully. You are not qualified to negotiate with us, and we are not asking you or discussing with you right now. You just have to choose between consent and rejection."


    Xiaorui asked reluctantly, "If I refuse, what will you do?"


    "Of course I won''t do anything to you?" Gu mohan said expressionlessly, "But I remember that my man, the one who dragged you in just now, seems to be able to speak in the underworld. He should be more experienced in dealing with women than I am."


    "Are you going to kill me?" Xiaorui asked incredulously. No matter how powerful gu mohan was, it was impossible for him to kill in broad daylight in the city, wasn''t it?


    Gu mohan shook his head and stared at her with an "Incurable" look, "There are more terrible and cruel things than death. You have to go through them before you can die safely."


    With that, he shouted for the man outside to come in.


    "No... Wait a minute... Don''t..." Xiaorui looked at the man who was getting closer and closer in panic and shouted, "I promise! I promise... I don''t need your help anymore. I agree to be your spy... I agree!!"


    Gu mohan glanced at her and raised his chin at the man who rushed in, signaling him to go out first.


    Then he walked up to Xiaorui and said word by word, "Remember what you promised. When you need me, I will contact you."


    "... Okay."


    In the car, ye zhiqiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked gu Mohan, "Is she trustworthy?"


    "You mean xiao rui?" Gu mohan asked. Seeing ye zhiqiao nod, he replied, "Yes. She''s almost scared out of her wits and doesn''t dare to go against us anymore."


    Ye zhiqiao believed his judgment and asked, "Then what should we do next? When will she go back to gu chengyan?"


    "It''s not urgent. We need to think about it in a long way." Gu mohan turned the steering wheel and turned to the road leading to ye zhiqiao''s apartment. He continued, "Gu chengyan is very scheming. It should be impossible for us to do it in one move. If we can''t beat her down with one move, if we let her find a little chance, she will definitely come back to life."


    Ye zhiqiao was puzzled, "Actually, I have always been somewhat incomprehensible about your plan. Gu chengyan is just a small employee in the studio. It''s easy to deal with her, but you..."


    Gu mohan nodded and interrupted her, saying, "I understand what you mean, but from the traps gu chengyan set up these few times, I always feel that she... Is a little unusual. For a moment, I couldn''t say how it felt, but I just didn''t think she was a simple person."


    "You mean... What background does she have?"


    "I''m not sure." Gu mohan parked the car and turned to ye zhiqiao, "Go home and talk."


    Ever since gu mohan and his parents had fallen out, he had been staying in ye zhiqiao''s apartment.


    He had his own villa, but he never mentioned going back. Every day and night, he would follow little treasure around. If ye zhiqiao took the initiative to ask him to leave, he would start to talk about some ridiculous reasons.


    For example, "If little treasure wants to play with building blocks, you have to cook. No one will accompany her when I leave." But little treasure clearly didn''t like the way he always pushed down the building blocks that she had worked so hard to build.


    For example, "There''s too much work today. I''m going to waste a lot of time on my way back to the villa from here. I don''t think I''ll be able to finish all this until early morning." But he clearly slept earlier than ye zhiqiao and little treasure.


    For example, "My parents have such a bad attitude towards you, I really feel sorry for you and little treasure. When I think of this, I will..." But when ye zhiqiao was about to call little treasure to comfort him, he already looked at the world cup with his eyes shining.


    ... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, there are too many of these kinds of events, the final result is that ye zhiqiao has basically given up on resistance and acquiesced to him staying.


    Back at home, little treasure had just woken up from his nap and was lying on the window, shaking his head as he looked down at the busy road.


    Seeing that she was not disturbed, ye zhi put down a glass of juice and told her not to open the window, then left the room.


    Gu mohan was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw ye zhiqiao come out, he patted the seat beside her and asked her to come over and sit down, "We have time. Let''s continue to plan a way to deal with gu chengyan."


    Ye zhiqiao had the same intention. She sat down and said, "You only said half of what you said just now. Why do you think gu chengyan is not simple?"


    "... I don''t have any concrete evidence on this yet. Let''s not talk about it for now." Gu mohan thought for a moment and said.


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao''s curiosity was not serious. Since gu mohan did not want to say it, she did not intend to continue pressing.


    "Our previous plan ended when we persuaded Xiaorui to be a spy, because Xiaorui''s existence was a variable and we were not sure if she would agree. But now that she has agreed, the plan will be much simpler." Gu mohan crossed his hands and pressed them against his chin, looking the same as when he was in charge of the meeting.


    Ye zhiqiao agreed and asked, "What happened after that? Let Xiaorui contact her now, or wait for her to take the initiative to look for xiao rui?"


    "The latter." Gu mohan replied immediately. Then he explained the reason to ye zhiqiao, "Gu chengyan''s mansion is very deep, and his suspicions are certainly not weak. Xiaorui''s role in her heart is just an image of being threatened at the drop of a hat. If Xiaorui comes to her door, she will be suspicious."


    "What if she doesn''t look for xiao rui?"


    Gu mohan pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don''t think so. Gu chengyan doesn''t seem to have any good assistants around him. Otherwise, the last time she was in the studio, she wouldn''t have asked xiao rui for help. She won''t give up if she doesn''t get her hands on it many times. The plan will be more and more rigorous in the future. If you can''t finish it by yourself, you must ask for help."


    "Xiaorui, who had helped her once, had something in her hands. She couldn''t help it or not." Ye zhiqiao added.


    "That''s right." Gu mohan looked at her admiringly, "And even if she really doesn''t, I have another plan."

 Chapter 216 Something Happened to Your Father

    "Bell..." Gu mohan''s phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was mother gu, he shook his head at ye zhiqiao and picked up the phone.


    "Hello?"


    "Mohan, come home right now. Something happened to your father!" Mother gu''s tone was very anxious and a little reproachful.


    Gu mohan''s face immediately changed. Although he had quarreled before, his father was still his father. He asked worriedly, "Have you been sent to the hospital or have you called a family doctor? What''s the situation like?"


    "Well... Don''t worry about it. Your father is in a bad situation. Come home quickly."


    Gu mohan had no choice but to get up and walk out.


    Ye zhiqiao followed him to her feet. She heard what mother gu said on the phone just now, and she was a little anxious, "Is uncle sick?"


    "Yeah." Gu mohan replied as he put on his coat, "I don''t know the specifics. It''s a bad situation."


    He glanced into the bedroom and then instructed, "You stay at home with little treasure. I''ll go over."


    "Hey!" Seeing that he was going to open the door, ye zhiqiao quickly grabbed him and quickly said, "Wait for me, I''ll go with you."


    With that, she took her coat and hurried into the bedroom.


    "You don''t have to..." Gu mohan had no time to stop him, so he had to follow him into the bedroom. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was changing little treasure''s clothes, he continued to persuade him, "You don''t have to go back with me. If there is any news, inform you immediately."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said firmly, "No, I have to go."


    Although the meeting a few days ago was very unpleasant, she was a junior. She had no reason not to visit when something happened to her father. Moreover, the cause of gu father''s illness was not clear. It was probably because of what happened last time that old people were prone to heart and blood pressure problems.


    "But what about little treasure?" Gu mohan asked. Ever since the last time they left little treasure alone at home and almost had an accident, they almost brought little treasure with them every time they went out. Even if it was inconvenient for them to see xiao rui, they would arrange bodyguards outside the house.


    But now that the bodyguards have retreated, it will take time to call them back.


    Ye zhiqiao changed little treasure''s clothes and said, "Take her with you. After all, uncle is little treasure''s grandfather, so it''s only right for her to visit him."


    Ye zhiqiao''s arrangement was so reasonable that gu mohan could not find any reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree. He naturally knew that ye zhiqiao was considerate, but he was afraid that... His family would not think so.


    When the three of them returned to the gu family mansion, gu mohan immediately drove the car to the entrance of the villa. When he got off the car, he saw the butler who instructed the servants to trim the branches.


    Before he could think about it, he entered the room and saw his mother, who was waiting in the living room.


    "Why did you bring them here again?!"


    This was mother gu''s first sentence, the usual tone of disgust, ye zhiqiao and the little treasure in her arms were stiff.


    Gu mohan frowned, reminding himself that this was not the time to get angry.


    "Where''s my dad?" He asked.


    Mother gu strode up to the three of them and looked at ye zhiqiao askance with her arms in her arms. She purposely said sarcastically, "Do you still know how to ask your father? Are you worried about your father''s health or do you want him to die soon? Knowing that he disliked this kind of dog skin plaster the most, he brought it back again and again!"


    "Mom!"


    "Don''t worry about me calling mom!" Mother gu nodded at ye zhiqiao and said sternly, "Aren''t you going to sever our relationship for this woman? Hmph! You''ve been raised to such a young age, and you don''t understand the principles of your parents?"


    Then she turned around and asked ye zhiqiao, "Or did you say something in Mohan''s ear? Let him walk around you like a stranger?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was used to her flaunting her teeth and claws. Suddenly, she didn''t feel angry. She shook her head helplessly and said calmly, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I just came to visit uncle. What happened last time... I was wrong too, so..."


    "Stop pretending here! Are you pretending to show it to me or to Mohan?!" Mother gu shouted. Then she glanced at the blushing little treasure, and her lips moved, trying to say something but holding back.


    Gu mohan stretched out his hand and pulled ye zhiqiao behind him, "Mom, it''s a good idea for Zhiqiao to come over. Even if you don''t want to believe it, there''s no reason to doubt it. Now I''m taking her to see dad."


    "No! I made it very clear last time that this woman will never enter my gu family again!" Mother gu stopped the three in front of them.


    Gu mohan lowered his head and looked at her coldly, reminding her in an unfriendly tone, "You called me and asked me to come back. You won''t let me go up after I come back. Why? Do you want me to go?"


    Mother gu was startled. Her lips opened and closed a few times, and she became nervous. She asked gu mohan to come back to persuade him, but when she saw ye zhiqiao, she got angry and almost forgot the business.


    "No, mom didn''t mean that." Mother gu''s attitude softened a little. She grabbed gu mohan''s arm and explained, "Of course you want to stay, but this woman..."


    She pointed at ye zhiqiao and continued, "She''s not a good person. Think about it for yourself. What good intentions can you have to provoke your boyfriend and family? Besides, you''re not her boyfriend. You just relax and play occasionally. This mother can understand. It''s not too late to turn around. As long as you separate from her, we can discuss everything else."


    Gu mo laughed back in anger. He stared at his mother and asked, "What else do you want to discuss with me?"


    "And... And little treasure!" Mother gu deliberately put on a friendly attitude and touched little treasure''s head. After being shunned by little treasure subconsciously, she looked a little embarrassed, but she still said, "After that day, your father and I have discussed that little treasure is also your child. We are old, and we have a lot of free time to take care of her. You can also manage the company safely."


    "... Gu mohan looked straight at her and said nothing.


    Mother gu mistakenly thought that he was thinking about her proposal and was overjoyed. A smile unconsciously hung on her face, "You can rest assured. There are so many things in the company that you can''t handle at all, and with a little treasure, you must be even more stressed out. This is probably why you have to keep this woman around, right? But after all, she was not little treasure''s biological mother, and the heart was separated from the stomach. Of course, it''s best for your grandparents to take care of your children."


    "Do you think it''s appropriate?" Gu mohan asked.


    "Of course!" Mother gu affirmed in a rather "Sincere" manner.

 Chapter 217 Never Marry for a Lifetime

    "Heh..."


    Gu mo gave a cold laugh and immediately scowled. "I disagree," he said sternly. Except for ye zhiqiao, I don''t think anyone in this world can take good care of little treasure."


    Upon hearing this, mother gu''s smile froze on her face, and her half-grinned mouth looked extremely funny.


    "What do you mean? Her own grandfather and grandmother can''t take care of her. Can an outsider?" Mother gu stared at gu mohan in disbelief.


    Gu mohan said word by word, "First of all, ye zhiqiao is not an outsider. She is my fiancee. Secondly, I don''t think that little treasure will receive any good education in a family with a clear sense of hierarchy, who values the rich and despises the poor. I also don''t want this conversation to be copied onto little treasure in a few years."


    There was no foul language in this paragraph when gu mother insulted ye zhiqiao, but every word and every sentence of it was like a slap on gu mother''s face without mercy. She was so angry that her body trembled, and her breathing became uneven, "Are you mocking me? How dare you mock your mother so viciously?!"


    She glared at ye zhiqiao and asked sternly, "What fiancee? Who prescribed a fiancee?! Gu mohan, your fiancee is su yanbai. Everyone knows that you have a marriage contract. You don''t deny it without a word!"


    "Everyone knows? But I don''t know!" Gu mohan said enthusiastically, "I already announced it at the su family dinner. My engagement with su yanbai was canceled."


    Mrs. Gu looked at him amusedly and shook her head, "Mohan, you''re still a famous person in the business world. When did you become so childish? The marriage between the two families can be broken with one word you open your mouth?"


    "Then you..."


    "Okay." Mother gu raised her hand to stop him and continued, "If you really don''t like su yanbai, that''s fine. As long as you and ye zhiqiao are separated, I can promise to persuade your father to help you annul the engagement."


    "Impossible, I said I would not marry ye zhiqiao!" Gu mohan refused without thinking.


    At this moment, a figure flashed by in the afterglow. He looked up and saw that father gu was walking down the stairs.


    Father gu''s steps were steady, his face was calm, his face was ruddy and healthy, and he did not look sick at all.


    Gu mohan almost immediately thought of what was going on.


    When she stopped the car just now, she felt that something was wrong. If father gu was sick, the servants would not be able to do their chores as usual, and the housekeeper would not have the energy to look after them at all. It turned out that mother gu had deliberately set this up, just to lure him back!


    Heh! If he wanted him to come back, he would just say so. Would he ignore his family''s rejection? But using his filial piety to deceive him is really too much!!


    Gu mohan''s black eyes were filled with anger, and the pressure around him was so low that even little treasure could not help but shrink into ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    Mother gu naturally sensed the storm and her lips moved to explain, but Mohan would not give her another chance.


    "Lie to me?"


    No one answered.


    "Lie to me?!!" He roared and asked again.


    Father gu cleared his throat and said, "Your mother is doing it for your own good."


    Gu mo snorted coldly and asked, "Did you lie to me for my own good? Is it for my own good to arrange a fiancee for me without my knowledge? Scolding my women and children for my own good?!"


    "I thank you for your'' for my own good'', but let me tell you what I understand today! No! Yes! Yes!"


    Gu mohan returned and grabbed ye zhiqiao. Before he turned around, he said angrily, "I will never come back to this house! No matter what reason you use."


    Then, in the anger of gu father and the shouts of gu mother, gu mohan took ye zhi''s clever head and walked out of the door without turning back. When he got into the car, a group of servants wanted to step forward to dissuade him. Gu mohan stepped on the gas and drove the car out of the door.


    On the main road, gu mo''s cold "Buzzing" head finally calmed down.


    The streetlights and trees on both sides of the window moved back quickly. He realized that he was moving too fast and his feet began to relax.


    Ye zhiqiao did not notice his change, but focused on coaxing the little treasure in her arms.


    What happened just now scared little treasure again. Originally, because of the last unhappy meeting, little treasure was very afraid of the gu family''s grandparents, but this time it was the same.


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak, and the expression on her face did not tell her how she was feeling. Gu mohan thought of what his mother had just said in front of her about his engagement with su yanbai. Afraid that she would be uncomfortable, he tried to ask, "Zhiqiao, are you... Okay?"


    "Yeah, it''s okay." It wasn''t once or twice. To be honest, she had expected this to happen before she came.


    After a short sentence, gu mohan asked again, "Are you angry about what my mother said?"


    "Which sentence do you mean?" Ye zhiqiao asked back.


    "Just... About my engagement to... Su yanbai..."


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyes and said, "Oh," but did not continue to speak. What was she going to say? So what if she was not angry? That was the daughter-in-law of the two elders of the gu family. Even if she was angry, she would be regarded as jealous.


    Gu mohan was driving. He quickly glanced at her and turned around. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was not in a good mood, he immediately took a vote and said, "Don''t be unhappy. Su yanbai is definitely not going to marry me. If they force me to marry again, I will never marry! If they don''t get married, they won''t be able to force me. I can make my own decisions."


    His intention was to reassure ye zhiqiao that he would rather not get married than abandon her and su yanbai. But in fact, this was just an exaggeration. Marrying ye zhiqiao was something he had long wanted to do.


    But the words fell into ye zhiqiao''s ears and changed the flavor.


    Women and men have different ways of thinking, especially in terms of feelings, women have a strong sense of crisis. The message gu mohan had just blurted out to her was that gu mohan didn''t care about her thoughts at all. In order to fight his parents, he had already planned not to get married for the rest of his life.


    After having this knowledge, ye zhiqiao inexplicably lost, more precisely, a chill.


    It turned out that gu mohan had no intention of getting a wife, but she thought that the two meetings were "Meeting her parents." Every time she was embarrassed and ridiculed by her parents, she would persuade herself that they were gu mohan''s parents, and that they would be her parents in the future. She had to be filial and respectful.

 Chapter 218 Cold Violence

    But now it seems that they are all pretentious!


    The funny thing is, she was afraid that her relationship would create a gap between gu mohan and his family, so she decided to follow him today.


    Just now, mother gu''s words were full of sarcasm and filth. She could not bear to make a sound or resist. She was not afraid of her mother, nor was she a coward. She was just taking care of gu mohan''s feelings and didn''t want him to be embarrassed.


    But she was always thinking about Mohan. What about him? He didn''t take her seriously at all!


    Little treasure held a rubik''s cube in his hand, but it did not return to its original state for a long time. He got up in a hurry and asked ye zhiqiao to help her.


    Ye zhiqiao took it by hand and explained the skills to little treasure as she turned, taking this opportunity to avoid talking to gu mohan.


    She felt like a fool now, especially when it came to gu mohan. The intimate progress of the previous period seemed to have made her lose her basic ability to think, so she thought that she should calm down for a while and think about the relationship between the two.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were playing together again, gu mohan suggested, "The rest is free time. Shall I take you to the amusement park?"


    Ye zhiqiao still didn''t say anything, but little treasure clapped his hands happily and said, "Yes, yes, auntie ye promised me that she would take me to the amusement park!"


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao in the rearview mirror. Seeing that she had been looking down at little treasure on her lap, he turned the car around and drove towards the amusement park.


    Because it was a weekday and the weather was a little cold, there weren''t many visitors to the amusement park. Even the staff who wore cartoon clothes to attract children took off their headsets and sat on the lounge chair, looking bored. Little treasure took ye zhiqiao''s hand and walked over. He wanted to take a picture with the pooh bear, so the staff put on the hood again and cooperated with little treasure''s movements one after another.


    Perhaps because it was too boring, the staff was very enthusiastic. Seeing ye zhiqiao watching, they called her over together. Gu mohan, who parked the car and chased after her, could only accept his fate as a photographer.


    Ye zhiqiao cooperated with xiao bao and the staff very well and had a good time. She took a lot of photos and waved her hand away until she was sweating a little.


    Next up was the theme park''s fixed item: the carousel.


    When they reached the merry-go-round, the three finally felt the lively atmosphere of the amusement park. Indeed, no matter the wind and sun, no matter adults or children, they could not escape the love of the merry-go-round.


    Xiao bao and ye zhiqiao sat on the adjacent horseback with satisfaction. The music sounded and they moved forward. When they saw their father waiting nearby, they waved their hands to attract his attention, but... Gu mohan didn''t seem to look at her at all.


    Gu mohan''s eyes were fixed on ye zhiqiao''s direction without any concealment. Ye zhiqiao would definitely not feel it, but she refused to turn her head.


    He did not know how to offend ye zhiqiao, but when he was in the car, he felt that ye zhiqiao''s mood was not right. After getting out of the car, ye zhiqiao did not say a word to him, and now he did not even give him a afterglow.


    Just as gu mohan racked his brain trying to remember where he had provoked ye zhiqiao, the merry-go-round had slowly stopped.


    Ye zhiqiao walked out with little treasure in her arms. It was not like she was angry at all, but she immediately lowered her head in front of gu mohan as if she did not see him.


    Just as gu mohan was about to take the initiative to talk, little treasure suddenly pointed to the small football field opposite and said, "Aunt ye, little treasure wants to play there!"


    "Sure." Ye zhiqiao smiled and agreed. She lifted her legs and walked there.


    The small football field was surrounded by a circle of fences. On the ground was a man-made lawn. The goal and football were scaled down and made for children to use.


    When he reached the door, little treasure couldn''t help but feel excited. He jumped out of ye zhiqiao''s arms and ran inside with joy. Ye zhiqiao was about to catch up, but was stopped by gu mohan.


    "Wait, have a word with me." He said.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and was about to refuse when she heard a cry of pain from little treasure who ran into the football field. She quickly turned around and saw that little treasure had somehow fallen to the ground.


    "Little treasure?!" She let out a cry and rushed in.


    Gu mohan also saw the fallen little treasure. When he ran in with ye zhiqiao, his eyes unconsciously fell on her left foot.


    Although her foot injury was already very good, the doctor still did not let her walk around often. Today, they went out to see xiao rui, and then returned to the gu family. They just walked around the amusement park for a long time. I wonder if it would affect her foot injury.


    Ye zhiqiao''s foot injury did relapse.


    She squatted down and helped him up. When she dusted his clothes, she felt a sharp pain in the soles of her feet, and then a wet feeling came. Without looking at it, she knew that the wound must have split again.


    "Little treasure, did it hurt anywhere?" Ignoring her wound, she asked little treasure first.


    Little treasure laughed, "No, aunt ye, you can play football with me."


    The pain in ye zhiqiao''s feet continued. She originally wanted to ask if xiao bao was tired and if he wanted to go home, but she shouldn''t ask now.


    Little treasure was having a good time. She didn''t want to disappoint him, so she stood up in pain and helped him pick up the football.


    At this time, gu mohan also caught up. He stopped ye zhiqiao and asked anxiously, "How''s your foot? If you ran so fast just now, will the wound come back?"


    Ye zhiqiao avoided his outstretched hand and did not look at him. She walked straight to the waiting little treasure.


    "Ye zhiqiao!" Gu mohan finally couldn''t stand this kind of cold violence. He raised his voice and said, "I don''t know what I did to make you angry. I can apologize to you, but you can''t go against your own body, can you? Think for yourself how long has it been since your foot injury healed? What if it continues like this and gets infected?"


    "... Ye zhiqiao paused and continued walking.


    Gu mohan stared at her limping back, worried and angry. He had no choice but to call jian mengqi.


    Knowing that they were going to look for xiao rui today, jian mengqi came up and asked, "Is everything done? Why is it so late?"


    "We''re at the amusement park."


    Gu mohan''s voice was low, but on the phone, jian mengqi did not react for a moment. She smiled and joked, "Is this a celebration? Not bringing Qin Baiye and me along, that''s not enough!"


    "No..." Gu mohan sighed and told jian mengqi the whole story of today.

 Chapter 219 Critical Assembly

    When jian mengqi arrived at the amusement park, gu mohan was waiting for her at the entrance of a restaurant. When he saw her coming, he waved his hand.


    Jian mengqi quickly walked over, glared at him and asked, "Where''s Zhiqiao?"


    "Take little treasure inside." Gu mohan turned his head to signal the restaurant behind him, then took the lead and walked in.


    Jian mengqi reached out and pulled him, frowning and saying, "Wait a minute, why are you in a hurry? Are you really using me as a savior?"


    Just now, after gu mohan and jian mengqi finished talking on the phone, he asked her to come over and help persuade ye zhiqiao. At first glance, it seemed that he really treated her as a soldier.


    Gu mohan was a little embarrassed and said, "Aren''t you Zhiqiao''s best friend? You must know her better than I do, right?"


    Jian mengqi shivered from his deliberate "Fawning" look and retreated a little further away from him before she asked with disgust, "You don''t know why Zhiqiao is angry until now, do you?"


    ... Because of my mother? Gu mohan asked hesitantly.


    Jian mengqi rolled her eyes and looked at him helplessly, then asked, "Ye zhiqiao is in love with your mother?"


    "Ah?"


    Seeing that gu Mohan was still in a daze, jian mengqi really wanted to roll up her sleeves and punch him. Wasn''t gu mohan very smart in business? Why is it that when it comes to relationships, it''s like a lack of heart?! Ye zhiqiao''s mind was originally delicate, so if she was with him, she would probably be more angry in the future.


    However, ye zhiqiao was very stubborn. Last time she had advised her, ye zhiqiao still refused to give up gu mohan. In this case, her good friend could only help.


    "She''s just mad at you." Jian mengqi picked up her arm and said, "Your mother scolded her in front of you. You didn''t help her. Although the explanation you gave was that you thought your father was sick and didn''t want to cause any trouble, in the eyes of a woman, this is not taking her performance seriously."


    "I didn''t..."


    "Listen to me!" Gu mohan wanted to explain, but jian mengqi immediately raised her voice to interrupt and continued, "And you and that what... What su yanbai''s engagement, that kind of thing either confess to zhiqiao in advance, or never let her know, but what about you? What would she think if she heard this from your mother? That''s right, you announced the engagement at the su family, so the annulment is over. What did you say to zhiqiao? What do you mean by not marrying for life? What, do you still want zhiqiao to accompany you for life?"


    Originally, she just wanted to remind gu mohan that she was wrong, but the more jian mengqi said, the more she couldn''t stop the car, the more she felt sorry for ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan, the "Student," had a good attitude. Although he still didn''t understand why what he said for the vote was misunderstood by ye zhiqiao, he still genuinely felt that jian mengqi was right.


    Jian mengqi said a lot. Her chest was full of frustration and her mouth was dry. She looked into the dining room and said with a smack of her lips, "All right, let''s talk about this first. You go back and think about it yourself. I have to go in and comfort Zhiqiao who has been hurt by you."


    Ye zhiqiao was peeling shrimp for little treasure with plastic gloves. She was surprised to see jian mengqi coming over, but gu mohan, who was following behind her, immediately understood.


    She didn''t say anything, just let jian mengqi sit next to her to eat, and called the waiter to add a few dishes that jian mengqi liked.


    One by one, jian mengqi picked up her fans and looked back and forth between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan. After a long time, she finally shook her head and sighed.


    This time, ye zhiqiao seemed really angry. It had been less than 20 minutes since she sat down. Ye zhiqiao had not shown a smiling face. Although she took care of little treasure as usual and talked to her occasionally, she refused to speak to gu mohan and didn''t even look at him. The tofu that gu mohan had picked up for ye zhiqiao five minutes ago was still on the plate. It was as cold as the atmosphere at the scene.


    Jian mengqi could not remember when ye zhiqiao had lost her temper last time, because one of her greatest strengths was her calm and forbearance. She had a hot personality and would inevitably offend others. Although she had a lot of friends, ye zhiqiao was the only one who really cared about her. Why? Because ye zhi qiao has a good temper!


    But as the saying goes, the more good-tempered people get angry, the scarier they are. When applied to ye zhiqiao, it is particularly frightening.


    Because ye zhiqiao rarely had a direct conflict with others, those insults were harder for her than international competitions, and the most common way to express her anger was the cold war. Not talking or laughing, but the reaction was unbearable.


    Most people hate cold violence, especially jian mengqi, but if it was ye zhiqiao, it would be different.


    Ye zhiqiao''s appearance would only make her heart ache.


    In her heart, ye zhiqiao was really a very good person. At least in her circle of friends, such a gentle and simple girl like ye zhiqiao could not find another one, so she did not want to see anyone bullying ye zhiqiao, even if ye zhiqiao liked people.


    This is why she let ye zhiqiao leave him in front of gu mohan last time.


    "Zhiqiao..." Jian mengqi called out to her. She looked up and asked tentatively, "Why don''t you come back to the studio?"


    Once you''re immersed in your work, you can forget all the things you''re worried about, at least not as sad as you are now. This was the method that jian mengqi racked her brains to come up with.


    Ye zhiqiao took the chopsticks and went back to the studio. She hadn''t thought about it. Jian mengqi gave her a long vacation a few days ago because she was dealing with the mole, but now that the mole, gu chengyan, had been transferred to a new studio, it shouldn''t matter if she went back.


    Besides, she wanted to study design again, so it was easier to go back to work.


    With this thought in mind, ye zhiqiao decided to answer, "Well, the holidays are really too free, and I am also thinking of activities. But... I may not be able to get into formal work for the time being, about design..."


    "I know!" Jian mengqi raised her hand and patted her shoulder. She deliberately said in a thick voice, "I am a great president jian, can''t I afford to support you, a small designer?"


    Ye zhi happened to be amused by her playful appearance, then noticed her greasy paws and shook her shoulders in disgust.


    "How dare you despise me?"


    Jian mengqi raised her hands and tried to get close to her again. Ye zhiqiao hurriedly begged for mercy, "It''s wrong. I don''t dare. Please forgive me."

 Chapter 220 Restore Memory

    The two of them kept laughing, and ye zhiqiao seemed to be in a much better mood, with a bright smile on her face again.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao happy, gu mohan was also happy, but at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable.


    At the door, he carefully pondered over what jian mengqi said. Although the difference in thinking between men and women determined that he could not empathize with ye zhiqiao''s thoughts, but he made ye zhiqiao sad, this is undoubtedly true.


    Recalling the scene that happened at the gu family mansion, gu''s mother treated ye zhiqiao with malice, and gu''s father despised ye zhiqiao. As ye zhiqiao''s boyfriend, he never played a role in protecting her.


    Ye zhiqiao tolerated it because he didn''t want to make it difficult for him, but he accepted that it was his fault that ye zhiqiao tolerated it.


    Gu mohan suddenly blamed himself, but ye zhiqiao was angry and would not give him an opportunity to apologize. Otherwise, what could he do to please ye zhiqiao?


    After thinking for a long time, gu mohan carefully interjected, "I know a teacher who is very accomplished in design. Can I introduce her to you?"


    Ye zhiqiao did not say yes or no, but as if she did not hear gu mohan''s suggestion, she continued to eat the rice in her bowl.


    I remember the last time ye zhiqiao proposed to re-learn design, gu mohan was firmly against it, but now his attitude suddenly took a 180 degree turn, the reason is not difficult to guess. Seeing that ye zhiqiao ignored her, jian mengqi had no choice but to act as a peacemaker and answer for ye zhiqiao: "President gu is such a capable person, the level of teachers he will definitely find will not be low, so Zhiqiao will do it."


    Jian mengqi did not help to make peace, it was clearly an opportunity to provoke, if it was normal, gu mohan would definitely put a few cold arrows back, but now the situation is special, he had to endure, and at the same time to jian mengqi "Sincerely" express his gratitude.


    Then, seeing that everyone was almost done eating, gu mohan settled the bill and drove the few people back to the studio.


    Gu mohan contacted the teacher on the way. The teacher was very kind and immediately agreed and rushed over. Gu mohan introduced the two sides, and then ye zhiqiao followed the teacher into ye zhiqiao''s office.


    The office was still the same as when ye zhiqiao left. The drawing board was in the middle of the room and beside it was a small table with drawing paper, brush and paint on it. Even the round stool that ye zhiqiao had accidentally kicked down when she ran out of the room was still in its original position.


    She walked over to set up the stool and put a chair beside her for the teacher. Then she took a deep breath and sat down again.


    The last time ye zhiqiao had a blank sense of fear in her mind, she still remembered it vividly. Even when she picked up the brush, her right hand was still trembling slightly.


    She forced herself to calm down. It was just a lost memory. It wouldn''t be hard to start over.


    The teacher asked her to try to draw an outline first.


    She knew that the teacher was trying to understand her current level. A designer who had once made a mark internationally would not do too badly even if she lost her memory. She thought the teacher must have thought so.


    But... What are you drawing? Perhaps because she had a child before, ye zhiqiao subconsciously loved to design parent-child costumes. Although this was a bit difficult for her now, since it was an attempt, she should let go and not be afraid.


    Having made up her mind, she picked up her pencil and placed it on an empty piece of paper.!


    After a stroke, she seemed to suddenly feel something. The feeling of heat flowing from her brain into her body through her blood was too familiar to her. If it wasn''t a dream, she seemed... Like she could draw.


    The black and gray pencils danced on the paper, forming one big and one small piece of clothing, followed by paint, yellow, pink... The wet and bright paint stuck to the brush, like a free and smooth water sleeve, freely spreading in the blank, like an angel''s soft fingers gently plucking the strings of a piano, with a set of rules at will.


    Finally, the song ended.


    The teacher at the side stared at the stunning parent-child clothes on the drawing paper. His mouth was open for a long time, but he didn''t close it. After ye zhiqiao reminded him, he slowly came to his senses. The first sentence was, "You... You are like this... What else should I teach you?"


    In fact, what she wanted to say was that even if she designed it, it might not be as good as ye zhiqiao''s design!


    Ye zhiqiao was only more surprised than she was. When she was designing these two clothes, she just subconsciously imagined that she and xiao bao were wearing clothes. Then, naturally, she drew this picture. From the beginning to the end, there was no such thing as the last time.


    The noise in the office quickly attracted three people who had been waiting outside. For the first time, jian mengqi knocked on the door and ran in. Gu mohan followed behind with little treasure in his arms.


    The three of them were immediately attracted to the drawing board standing in the middle of the room. After a long pause, jian mengqi pointed at the painting and stammered, "That... Teacher... Even if our Zhiqiao''s level is a little low now, you can''t... You can''t draw this to annoy her, can you?"


    "Ah?" The teacher who was named was stunned, and then she understood what jian mengqi meant. She hurriedly explained, "I didn''t draw this, but miss ye did."


    This time, the three of them were more surprised than before. Jian mengqi didn''t know whether she was still surprised or excited. She looked at the painting one moment and ye zhiqiao the other. She couldn''t speak.


    Gu mohan was much calmer than her, but the excited smile on his face could not help it. He sent little treasure to ye zhiqiao''s arms and sincerely congratulated him, "Congratulations, you have recovered your memory."


    Ye zhiqiao was also happy, but she still didn''t respond to gu mohan''s words. Instead, she pinched little treasure''s soft face affectionately and kissed it several times.


    Seeing this, gu mohan wanted to say something more, but was snatched away by jian mengqi, who had adapted from the surprise.


    Jian mengqi raised her arm and put it on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder, "Zhiqiao, your memory has been restored this time and you have designed such a beautiful parent-child outfit. We can hold a press conference together with the designs you gave me before."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t react for a moment, "Press conference? When?"


    "Right now!" Jian mengqi said excitedly, took out her phone and said, "I''ll contact the media now, and we''ll start preparing from tomorrow."

 Chapter 221 Be a Model Again

    Now?


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated and asked, "In that case, will the time be a little short?" The press conference had to start with a finished product, but this parent-child outfit was just designed today, so you can''t let the model show it on stage with the design draft, can you?


    Jian mengqi gave her a "Reassuring" look and then said, "I''ve already had your design drafts ready for the final product. What we need to prepare now is the venue for the press conference. As for this parent-child outfit..."


    She raised her chin and said, "I''m not planning to let this outfit be on display. I know you like to design parent-child outfits. There have been a lot of works since school, but there are only a few that have been released. What I want to do is to use this press conference to make a name for you first, then hold a parent-child press conference specially, or whatever else you want. I''ll definitely support you in all aspects!"


    "And..." She looked at gu mohan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "And didn''t gu mohan''s parents look down on you and think you were pretending to be'' awake''? We can take this opportunity to slap them in the face..."


    As soon as she said that, thinking that gu mohan was still there, it was somewhat impolite to say that to her parents, jian mengqi immediately changed her voice and said, "Educate them well. They can''t look down on others."


    Well, it''s better not to change. Fortunately, her voice was so low that gu mohan did not hear it.


    Ye zhiqiao heard this and felt that jian mengqi''s method was indeed feasible. Although she had no hope of changing gu father and gu mother''s opinion, she agreed, "Okay, then let''s hold the press conference as you said."


    Jian mengqi nodded happily, then added, "Then why don''t you be a model for this press conference? You''ve been a model for the gu group twice before, but they''ve made a lot of money. I can''t treat them differently."


    Be a model again?


    Ye zhiqiao did not consider this matter. The previous two models were all due to accidents, and she had to go on the stage personally. But now... And because of what happened all day today, her mood was not very high, maybe she could not go on stage with that enthusiasm.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s frowning unwilling to agree, jian mengqi pulled her aside and persuaded, "What''s wrong with you? Because a man doesn''t even care about his sisterhood, does he? Although I don''t have to force you to do anything, I feel really bad for you when I see your head drooping. Instead of thinking about the bad things, it''s better to focus on another thing. What do you think?"


    Jian mengqi wanted her to forget the unhappy things. Ye zhiqiao could understand it, but the emotion was very scary.


    Ye zhiqiao was still ready to refuse, but just as the words were about to be spoken, the face of father gu suddenly flashed in front of her.


    A few days ago at the gu family, her father asked her to design it in public. After gu mohan blocked it for her, the contempt and disdain on the faces of gu father and gu mother were not concealed at all. They looked down on her and felt that she had no real talent or learning. They felt that she and gu mohan were clinging to each other.


    So if you can take this opportunity to prove that although it can''t solve the problem fundamentally, at least make your heart feel better.


    With this thought, ye zhiqiao finally nodded and agreed.


    After that, ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi discussed the preparation work before the press conference, and also contacted the familiar media. After everything was done, the sky gradually darkened.


    Seeing that it was getting late, gu mohan interrupted their plan to continue discussing the process of the scene. He used the reason that little treasure needed to rest, and ye zhiqiao could not refute it, so he carried little treasure out with a cold face.


    Ye zhiqiao''s apartment was right across from jian mengqi''s studio. She didn''t need to take Mohan''s car anymore and naturally didn''t need to wait for him. So when gu Mohan parked the car back in the garage and hurried upstairs, ye zhiqiao''s house was already closed.


    Gu mohan raised his hand to ring the doorbell, but there was no one in the room, not to mention opening the door.


    Although ye zhiqiao was walking in front of him just now, he saw ye zhiqiao go upstairs with his own eyes, but after what happened last time, he couldn''t help but worry. He took out his cell phone to make a phone call and smashed the door with his hand.


    "Zhiqiao? Ye zhiqiao?!... Little treasure?"


    The phone was hung up and the door opened with a "Click."


    The door opened a crack, and ye zhiqiao''s figure appeared behind the door. She had changed into her home clothes, and her hair looked extremely gentle, but her tone was exactly the opposite of her appearance.


    "What''s the matter?" She asked coldly, as if talking to a stranger.


    Gu mohan choked and immediately understood what she meant, "Can you let me in first?"


    "If you have anything to say, just say it here." Ye zhiqiao pointed to the phone in gu mohan''s hand, "It''s getting late. It''s not convenient for a big man like you to come in."


    "But little treasure is still inside..."


    "If you don''t trust her to be with me, you can pick her up anytime." Ye zhi coincidentally blocked it back.


    Gu mohan immediately shook his head and explained, "That''s not what I meant. It''s just that little treasure is my daughter and she can go in. Why can''t I?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t answer this time. She just looked at him with her eyes open. Her eyes were clearly saying, "What do you think?" .


    "..." Gu mohan sighed. He could not help but think that he was still enjoying breakfast with ye zhiqiao and little treasure in this house in the morning and sitting on the sofa with ye zhiqiao in the afternoon to discuss ways to deal with gu chengyan. After a few hours, he was not even qualified to go in


    "I know I made you angry today, and I realized my mistake, but you have to give me a chance to explain, right?" Gu mohan asked.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said, "Now I don''t want to hear anything. Please don''t say it."


    "Then... Then if you don''t want to listen to me, I promise... Can''t you just go in and not say a word? I really don''t have a place to go. Just take me in for a night."


    "No place to go?" Ye zhiqiao smiled speechlessly, then returned to her cold face and said, "You have a villa, an apartment, and so many real estate properties. If you really can''t, you still have money to stay in a hotel. Tell me you don''t have a place to go?"


    "But I..."


    Gu mohan still wanted to fight for it, but ye zhiqiao said impatiently, "I''m going to cook dinner for little treasure now. I don''t have time to discuss these boring questions with you. Don''t call me or knock on the door."


    Before he could finish his sentence, the door was slammed shut in front of him.

 Chapter 222 Is Ye Zhiqiao Safe?

    That night, gu mohan sat against the wall outside ye zhiqiao''s room all night, and the next few days had been the same. But this time, ye zhiqiao was extremely determined and did not want to forgive him or listen to his explanation at all.


    Finally, it was the day of the press conference. On this day, ye zhiqiao got up early and did not make breakfast as usual. Instead, she took the time to put on a light makeup, found the dress that she had prepared early and put on a new princess dress for xiao bao. Then, she hurriedly changed her shoes and went out.


    As the designer of the studio and the model of the press conference, she had a lot of things to take care of, so she had to be there as soon as possible.


    And this time, gu chengyan will also go to the press conference on the grounds of help. According to jian mengqi, she applied for it herself, and her intentions can be seen that ye zhiqiao had to take more precautions.


    Holding little treasure in one hand, she walked out of the room and prepared to lock the door with the key in the other. As ye zhiqiao bent down hard to aim the key at the keyhole, the weight on her right arm suddenly lightened.


    She knew who it was without thinking.


    She didn''t pay much attention to it, and didn''t even sweep the corner of her eye. She continued to lock the door, then turned around and extended her hand to little treasure.


    Little treasure looked at ye zhiqiao, then turned around and blinked at gu mohan. Finally, he decided to abandon his father temporarily and jumped into ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    Gu mohan was used to little treasure''s "Betrayal." He took the opportunity to send little treasure to ye zhiqiao''s arms, then raised his right hand in front of ye zhiqiao''s eyes and asked gently, "I''m sure I didn''t have time for breakfast today, did I? I just went downstairs to buy this. You can take my car today and eat on the road."


    Ye zhiqiao finally looked at the bag in Mohan''s hand. The paper bag was bulging and seemed to have bought a lot.


    Ever since he stopped letting gu mohan in, he would wait at the door with breakfast almost every morning. At first, ye zhiqiao thought that he had got up early. Only when her relatives suddenly came in the middle of the night and didn''t have any sanitary supplies at home did she know that gu mohan had been here all night.


    It was impossible not to be touched by gu mohan''s actions, but in addition to being touched, the hurdle in her heart was still not over. Freezing is not a matter of a day. Some things can be solved without being touched. The problems between two people can''t always be forgotten.


    As usual, she did not respond to gu mohan and carried little treasure straight to the elevator without turning her head.


    Gu mohan''s hand was still stiff in the air, and his eyes were fixed on a corner, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he ran after ye zhiqiao with a calm face.


    As he chased after her, he called Qin Baiye.


    "Hello?"


    Qin Baiye sensed something was wrong when he heard his deep voice and asked, "What''s wrong? In a bad mood?"


    Gu mohan didn''t want to say much about the matter with ye zhiqiao. He called Qin Baiye for another reason: "Jian mengqi''s studio held a press conference in a few days, do you know?"


    "I know. She told me in a few days. I heard that ye zhiqiao was going to be a model on it." Qin Baiye knew everything.


    Gu mohan said "Yes," then said, "That''s why I came to you. Gu chengyan will also be at today''s press conference. I think she won''t miss such a good opportunity, so..."


    "So you want me to go and protect the place?" Qin Baiye asked.


    Gu mohan replied bluntly, "Yes. I''ll try my best to stay by ye zhiqiao''s side. As for the inside and outside of the venue, I''m more at ease if you bring someone over."


    Qin Baiye, of course, wouldn''t refuse, "Okay, I''ll get my men together now. I''ll be there in less than an hour."


    After that, he hung up.


    Gu mohan put away his phone and waited for the elevator to come up as he began to think carefully about what had happened in the past few days.


    If at first he had understood the reason why ye zhi qiao was unhappy after jian mengqi''s "Suggestion," but in the past few days, he had fallen into confusion again.


    It was not easy for a woman to coax him to know, and he knew that he had no experience in this area, so he handled it very carefully. Jian mengqi said that he had said something wrong that day, so he tried not to say anything now. He only expressed his apology and hope and determination through actions, such as standing at the door without leaving, such as being ignored many times and still insisting on buying breakfast..


    Alas -


    He sighed in his heart. Just as the elevator arrived, he stepped in.


    He was the only one in the elevator because it was not even time for work. I remember that he used to come here with ye zhiqiao and the three of them were so happy that everyone couldn''t help but envy him, but why didn''t they want him?


    There was another faint sigh, then she walked down the elevator to the lower floor with her head down.


    His car was parked in the garage next to ye zhiqiao''s car. When he walked over, he only saw his car parked there alone. Ye zhiqiao had already left with little treasure.


    He called Qin Baiye and waited for the elevator. Ye zhiqiao must be on her way now. With that in mind, he decided to go straight to the meeting to find someone.


    But when he came all the way to the venue, he did not find any trace of ye zhiqiao and little treasure!


    "Hello, did ye design it?" He had no choice but to ask the front desk staff.


    The staff recognized gu mohan and answered truthfully, "No, I''ve been here since two hours ago. I haven''t seen design ye."


    Because of the special situation, the staff came earlier today. Ye zhi happened to leave less than an hour ago. If the staff came, they wouldn''t have missed it.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan''s heart suddenly rose.


    He didn''t come at a very fast speed, and there was no reason for ye zhiqiao to arrive later than him, and he had been here for more than 20 minutes, even if he really encountered any special circumstances, ye zhiqiao should be here by now.


    Although they expected gu chengyan to do something wrong at the press conference, they did not think about it before the press conference. Would it... Gu chengyan did it on the way to ye zhiqiao''s car?!


    Gu mohan sat in a difficult position, looking around the venue again, while constantly dialing ye zhiqiao''s cell phone.


    But ever since that night, ye zhiqiao didn''t answer his phone once, nor did she reply to his text messages. Of course, this is still the case today.


    He couldn''t tell if ye zhiqiao was safe at the moment.

 Chapter 223 Draw a Line After Today

    When gu mohan was looking for people all over the world, ye zhiqiao was driving in the direction of the venue.


    She had just brought little treasure out of the restaurant. She didn''t have time to cook at home this morning. She could not eat, but little treasure couldn''t be hungry. Little treasure liked the vegetable porridge in this restaurant very much. It was not far from the venue, so she brought her over by the way.


    The little guy was very happy when she ate, but she only drank about a quarter of a small bowl of vegetable porridge. Ye zhi coincidentally knew that she was thinking about gu mohan.


    Although she liked ye zhiqiao very much, and could even be said to be dependent, gu Mohan was her father after all. They had a blood thicker than water kinship, and before ye zhiqiao appeared, xiao bao had always lived with gu mohan, so the relationship was naturally better.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the little treasure sitting in the rearview mirror. The little guy was fiddling with his fingers with his head down, which was different from his usual lively and cheerful appearance. However, when he noticed ye zhiqiao''s gaze, the little guy actually held the corner of his mouth and smiled, which made ye zhiqiao feel uncomfortable.


    She subconsciously withdrew her gaze, but there was one thing in her mind that she couldn''t stop thinking about.


    She saw the changes and sincerity of gu mohan these days. She stayed at the door all night and worked as usual during the day. She was also worried that his body would not be able to bear it, but the "Bitter meat scheme" was useless to her.


    She was a stubborn person, just like when jian mengqi advised her to break up with gu mohan and she insisted on her decision not to break up. Now she decided to give up, and it was useless for gu Mohan to do anything to save her.


    She was not a young girl who had just graduated from college, nor was she a young girl who was inexperienced in the world. She knew her own reality very well and could roughly predict the current situation and future. Over the past few days, she had thought about the matter with gu mohan over and over again. Regardless of family background, personality, and economic level, they were not suitable for either of them. They were people from two different worlds, not to mention gu mohan''s parents.


    Even now, gu mohan could endure the pressure to be with her, and the two of them could fall in love and marry, but then what? Could it be that it was impossible for them not to look back at home all their lives and that she, as their daughter-in-law, would not see her parents-in-law all her life? But if they met, would the situation be any different from the previous two times?


    I''m afraid it will only get worse.


    When the two of them were really together, by then, she would not be able to guarantee that gu mohan would be as willing as he is now to stoop down and let everything go to coax her. Any more patient people would be tired of it over time.


    So the relationship between them, in fact, could not withstand the scrutiny.


    Ye zhiqiao peeked at xiao bao from the rearview mirror again. If she still had a little hesitation, then the reason for her hesitation was xiao bao. Sometimes, she would feel strange, but it was just a strange child that she met at the airport. Why did it make her have such strong feelings, even beyond enthusiasm and love, it was like a mother''s feelings for her daughter.


    But even so, she could no longer let her emotions run wild. If she wanted to end this relationship that couldn''t possibly end well, she had to draw a clear line with gu mohan and little treasure.


    With her hands on the steering wheel, the decision in her heart became firmer and firmer - she handed little treasure to gu mohan after today.


    The car stopped at the entrance of the venue. Ye zhiqiao got out of the car with little treasure and walked into the venue, just in time to bump into gu mohan who had rushed over when he heard the news.


    Gu mohan''s hair was a little messy, but he didn''t feel it. He asked ye zhiqiao nervously, "Where have you been? I''ve been looking for you for a long time, and I didn''t answer the phone. I thought something happened to you."


    Ye zhiqiao remained silent, and little treasure''s eyes moved a few times in the awkward expressions of the two adults, and he answered obediently, "Aunt ye has taken little treasure to dinner. There are small dumplings and vegetable porridge. Little treasure has eaten a lot."


    Hearing this, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked down at her together.


    Ye zhiqiao reached out to touch her head, and gu mohan finally relaxed and said, "So I went to eat. That''s good." But he didn''t mention his breakfast in the trash.


    At this time, Qin Baiye, who had been busy in the monitoring room, suddenly ran over and pointed behind him, "I caught a suspicious person just now. I pressed him in the security room. Do you want to go and see him?"


    "What suspicious person?" Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what gu mohan was planning, so she was confused for a moment.


    Qin Baiye explained, "Just now, Mohan called me and asked me to send someone here to take care of the safety of the scene, but not long after he arrived, he met this kid who was sneaking around the electric box."


    Gu mohan asked in a deep voice, "He wants to destroy the power supply?"


    "Yeah." Qin Baiye looked down at his watch and said, "Just five minutes ago, I happened to walk into the monitoring room and went in for a walk. At that time, this kid had just opened the electric box, so I went over with my men and caught one right in front of me, but..."


    At this point, Qin Baiye couldn''t help but laugh, "Heh - this kid is a bit of a jerk."


    "Two?" Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao exchanged a rare look.


    Qin Baiye nodded, glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Guess who sent him here?"


    Who else could it be if it wasn''t gu chengyan?


    Seeing that both gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were very familiar with each other, Qin Baiye curled his mouth and shook his head. He waved his hand to get them closer. His lips quickly opened and closed, and he told them what he had asked.


    "Oh-" after listening, both of them made unbelievable sounds.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately began to agree with what qin baiye had just said: "If he is like this, then it is really not an ordinary two."


    Gu mohan was amused by her feigned seriousness, but then returned to his serious expression.


    This time, Qin Baiye saw through the plan, but after that, he might not have such good luck, and he could not take it lightly.


    Gu mohan said to Qin Baiye, "I''ll bring someone to check the whole venue again later. There aren''t many people you brought. Can you lend me some?"


    "Hmm?" Qin Baiye paused, then said, "Of course, but what do you need so many people for? There are enough people in the venue now."


    Gu mohan turned to look in ye zhiqiao''s direction and said, "Put more people around zhiqiao to protect her. I think the other party''s main target is her."

 Chapter 224 Sensitive Muscle

    Gu chengyan sat in his makeup and waited nervously with his cell phone in his hand until two little girls who were in charge of clothes pushed the door open and walked in.


    One of them asked mysteriously, "Hey, do you know what happened to the power distribution room on the first floor?"


    The other shook his head in a daze, "I don''t know. What is it?"


    "You didn''t see a bunch of bodyguards and security guards arresting people there just now?! I heard that the man was trying to sabotage the press conference, but he''s still in the security room, being watched by a lot of people."


    "Ah?!"


    The two girls were still discussing mysteriously, and gu chengyan had already approached them. She pretended to be gossiping and asked, "Who caught that man?"


    "Eh? Why are you asking this?" Asked the little girl who knew the situation.


    Gu chengyan smiled sheepishly and said, "I''m curious. I''ve never seen anything like this before."


    "That''s true." When she said this, the little girl immediately lost her suspicions and answered truthfully, "I heard that president qin caught her. It''s our good friend Qin Baiye, president jian. He''s so handsome!!"


    As she spoke, the little girl became infatuated. Gu chengyan chuckled in his heart and asked with a straight face, "Did he interrogate the man who was arrested?"


    "Let''s do it." The little girl answered casually, then followed her little sister to push the trolley out of the dressing room.


    Gu chengyan sat back in his chair again, secretly happy with the news that the little girl had brought over.


    For today''s press conference, she made a lot of preparations. The little worker who destroyed the electric box was her work. Her plan included the arrest of the worker and the interrogation.


    Because although the scapegoat that she had previously pushed out had been "Dealt with" by jian mengqi, she had no worries about her current situation, but if she wanted to deal with ye zhiqiao, this was not enough.


    First of all, gu mohan was a big problem. He had surrounded ye zhiqiao all day long. Now that ye zhiqiao was going to make an appearance on such a big occasion, he would definitely not relax his vigilance. In this case, it was very difficult for her to do anything, so she came up with such a way to lure a tiger away from the mountain.


    According to the plan, in the first step, the small union she sent deliberately destroyed the electric box in the power distribution room. In the second step, she was waiting to be caught by gu mohan or Qin Baiye. In the third step, she said the messenger during the interrogation.


    Of course, the messenger was not herself, but yi chen, who was always at odds with gu mohan.


    Her plan was perfect. As long as gu mohan knew that it was yi chen who sabotaged the press conference, and the new and old grudges combined, he would definitely rush to the Yi''s without stopping to settle the score with yi chen. In this way, the guardian knight beside ye zhiqiao would not be around. At that time, she would not let gu chengyan do what she wanted.


    However, no matter how well she thought about it, things might not go according to her plan, such as the worker who destroyed the electric box.


    The worker was timid. He had initially agreed to help gu chengyan for money, but after being caught by Qin Baiye''s men, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He didn''t care about planning or not. He told gu chengyan everything that he had told him, including the fact that he had tricked gu mohan into telling him that it was easy to be dusty.


    This is also why Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao said he was "Two."


    After gu chengyan''s painstaking arrangements, it turned out that such a small worker was the culprit. Now that ye zhiqiao knew something about gu chengyan''s plan, she could be prepared in advance.


    Gu chengyan was still secretly proud of the success of the plan, and ye zhiqiao happened to come in at this time. When she saw her, she pretended to be surprised.


    "Chengyan? Why are you here too?"


    Gu chengyan got up and smiled, "I heard that the headquarters is going to hold a press conference. I specifically asked president jian for help. After all, this is my home from the headquarters."


    The official words were "Touching." If she didn''t know her true face, ye zhiqiao might believe it.


    But at this moment, ye zhiqiao just wanted to laugh.


    She held back her smile and exclaimed, "You really mean it. But why aren''t you outside? What are you doing in the dressing room?"


    "Oh, there are a lot of models coming today. The makeup artist was afraid of being too busy and not enough people. Knowing that my makeup skills were good, they pulled me over." Gu chengyan said in accordance with the script he had already written.


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head to look at the empty dressing room and sneered in her heart, "No one is busy?"


    "That''s really hard on you." She said politely.


    "Not hard, not hard." Gu chengyan pulled out the seat in front of him and said to ye zhiqiao, "Is president ye a model today? While the others are not here, let me help you with your makeup first so that you don''t have to squeeze into them later."


    Since ye zhiqiao already knew that gu chengyan was going to do something wrong at the press conference, she could naturally think of what she had in mind when she asked for her makeup. In the current situation, if rejecting her would arouse her suspicions, it would be better to agree and cooperate with her "Well."


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "Then I''ll trouble you."


    Gu chengyan watched her sit down in the chair and thought to himself, "It''s no trouble. I''m afraid you won''t. If you don''t agree, I''ll think of another way to make you look bad. It''ll take a lot of work."


    Two women with different thoughts were reflected in a mirror, and the seemingly calm dressing room was already filled with wind and clouds.


    Gu chengyan took out a few bottles and jars from his makeup bag and arranged them on the table in order. After that, he said to ye zhiqiao, "Mr. Ye, I think you''ve already put on light makeup, so can I use the makeup remover to help you remove it first?"


    "Sure." Ye zhiqiao nodded, then glanced at the small bottle gu chengyan picked up and asked, "By the way, chengyan, where did you get this makeup remover?"


    Where is it from?


    Gu chengyan pointed to the makeup remover with something in his hand and said loudly, "This is imported from japan. What''s wrong with it?"


    Ye zhiqiao said apologetically, "Then I can''t use this. I''m a sensitive muscle. I''m very picky about the things that rub on my skin. I can''t use this kind of cosmetics imported from japan and korea. Otherwise, my face will turn red."


    "Allergies?" Gu chengyan asked with a frown.


    Ye zhiqiao had been abroad for the past few years, and even when she stayed at home, gu chengyan had not paid attention to her life. Gu chengyan, who was sensitive, had no idea whether she was a sensitive person, so he had to put down the bottle in his hand.


    Gu chengyan liked to follow the trend. Recently, cosmetics in japan and south korea were very popular, and she used this kind of cosmetics, so that today''s cosmetics with "Things" were also produced in japan and south korea.


    In this way, it would be difficult.

 Chapter 225 Preemptive Strike

    Unable to move his hands or feet on the makeup, gu chengyan had to give up and use the makeup brought by the staff to give ye zhiqiao a normal makeup. Fortunately, she still had second-hand preparations.


    Gu chengyan took out the dress and high heels from the dressing room and held them in front of ye zhiqiao. He smiled and said, "This dress and high heels are personally matched by president jian. Both the style and temperament match you very well. You will definitely be amazed to see them on later!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at the skirt in her hand and gave a helpless sneer in her heart: gu chengyan, gu chengyan, you really went to great lengths to deal with me, even this skirt was pulled out by you.


    This dress was the only "Exposed" one in ye zhiqiao''s design. The material of the whole dress was silk qiaoqi, and lace decoration was added to the key parts. Although it would look like a few layers of fabric more than the ordinary designer''s work, the most important thing was that this dress had no zipper, no belt, and only a ribbon connected to the shoulder. If ye zhiqiao really wore this dress, As long as there was an "Accident," the dress would immediately fall apart on ye zhiqiao''s body, not even a chance to save the scene.


    She raised her eyebrows and looked at gu chengyan, who was beaming with joy. She was even more convinced that as long as gu chengyan was around, the incidence of "Accidents" would be close to 100 %.


    "I''m sorry, chengyan." As soon as gu chengyan took out the dress, she had already thought of a plan: "This dress is indeed beautiful, but I previously discussed with you president jian another one. As you know, my feet have just been injured. If I wear this dress, I need to wear a dozen centimeters high heels. I might not be able to hold on."


    "High... High heels?"


    Gu chengyan followed her words and looked to his left hand, where he was carrying a pair of 15 centimeters of frosted light pink high heels. It was just a pair she picked up to match her dress. Why...


    "Why don''t I go get you another pair?" Gu chengyan tried.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head with an air of composure and refused, "I don''t want it. It''s a good match. Since I can''t wear it, I''d better leave the opportunity to other models."


    "... Okay... Okay." Gu chengyan put the one in his hand back and said reluctantly, "That''s the only way."


    After returning the clothes to the dressing room, gu chengyan did not go back, but sat down in a corner. Because now, even if she went back, there was no point. There were only so many hands and feet she could do backstage, except for makeup and clothing, but these two points were avoided by ye zhiqiao. She could not put glass shards in ye zhiqiao''s shoes, could she? Even if I let her go, I won''t get a chance!


    I don''t know if ye zhiqiao is really so lucky to avoid the calculation, or if she already knew that things were deliberately done?


    No, no. Gu chengyan immediately denied his conjecture. Ye zhiqiao would never know what she was thinking. The unlucky scapegoat had been dealt with by jian mengqi. Now, ye zhiqiao and the others would not be suspicious, or they would not agree with her coming to help today.


    Gu chengyan thought about it and decided that what happened just now was just a coincidence. However, since she couldn''t succeed just now, she had to wait for gu mohan to find yi chen to settle the score. When ye zhiqiao had no one around to protect her, she could find a chance to do it again.


    But this time, it was directly to the start of the press conference.


    Gu mohan never left the press conference and stayed by ye zhiqiao''s side all the time. He had to wait backstage until ye zhiqiao stepped on the stage.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao had already gone up to the show, gu chengyan scratched his heart and liver anxiously. When the show ended, the press conference was basically over, but ye zhiqiao was still safe and sound, how could she not worry? Although she also set up a set of condoms after the press conference and waited for ye zhiqiao to drill inside, if there was no previous foreshadowing, the chances of success would not be much.


    At this time, gu chengyan was standing on the side of the stage pretending to help the host organize the manuscript, but in fact, he was monitoring ye zhiqiao''s every move, and her impatient expression fell into ye zhiqiao''s eyes.


    As ye zhiqiao walked slowly to the front of the stage, she was secretly thinking about something.


    Gu chengyan had failed many times, and it was inevitable that he would jump to the wall. Instead of waiting for gu chengyan to try to deal with her, why not... She had a preemptive strike? Giving gu chengyan a reassurance pill would save her from worrying about it.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was walking absent-mindedly, a model in front of her happened to turn around and come back. The model was wearing a long tulle dress with a red skirt swaying lightly with her body, like a raging fire in the dark night.


    As the flames drew closer and closer to her, ye zhiqiao finally remembered...


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was only a few steps away from the front of the stage. As the finale model, everyone''s eyes were focused on her confident and elegant steps and her ethereal blue dress, which was as blue as the distant sky, including gu chengyan. No one noticed that she had already deviated a few centimeters from the main line of the walk.


    "Uh-"


    As ye zhi coincidentally let out a low cry, everyone craned their necks and looked in her direction.


    The model who tripped her also bent down in panic to see her condition and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, are you okay? I didn''t mean it. I..."


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and told her to stop talking and continue walking back according to the procedure. She stood up and nodded to the stunned host and jian mengqi, then continued to walk in her own direction like the model just now.


    The fixed point in front of the stage, turn around, turn around in the middle of the stage, fixed point, and finally all the models appeared together.


    The whole process was over, the stage curtain fell, the lighting was all lit up, and everyone''s eyes turned to the stage, as if the episode had never happened.


    But ye zhiqiao, who returned backstage, was surrounded by the staff.


    Just now, after she tripped, she had to walk the rest of the way with all her might. Occasionally, her left foot would not work, and everyone was watching.


    After competing to ask, "Tripping" her little model came out with a sad face and took ye zhiqiao''s hand to apologize, "I''m really sorry. I didn''t walk well to return your injury. It''s not good for me to accompany you to the hospital?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head affectionately, "It''s nothing serious. I just sprained my ankle. I don''t blame you at all."


    Of course, it wasn''t the little model''s fault. She deliberately stepped off her seat and pretended to fall on someone else''s skirt. She was trying to take care of chengyan''s heart, but this dumb girl couldn''t let the little model eat it.

 Chapter 226 Yi Chens Appearance Aroused Suspicion

    After dealing with the chaos backstage, ye zhiqiao had to rush to the stage immediately. There were many media reporters and friends in the industry. As the designer of jian mengqi''s studio, she needed to be interviewed.


    But before that, she had to go back to the dressing room to change and fix her makeup.


    Jian mengqi had been entertaining in front of her, and the task of taking care of ye zhiqiao had naturally fallen to gu chengyan. She was very worried about ye zhiqiao sprained her ankle, but her busy appearance made ye zhiqiao feel her peace and quiet joy.


    Just be at ease and save yourself a lot of trouble.


    Ye zhiqiao changed her clothes and rested on the back of the chair, waiting for the assistant to deliver the speech for the meeting. But before she could wait for the assistant, she waited for an uninvited guest.


    "Ye zhiqiao!" Yi chen pushed the door in without knocking, startling the remaining models in the dressing room.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was really here, yi chen felt relieved and realized that he had been rude, so he hurriedly apologized and said, "I''m sorry, everyone. I have a few words with you, Mr. Ye."


    President ye''s friends, the models didn''t dare to say anything, so they walked out together. In an instant, the entire dressing room was left with yi chen, ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan.


    "Zhiqiao, how are you? I saw you fall just now. Why didn''t you go to the hospital?" Yi chen stepped over to ye zhiqiao''s side and bent down slightly to ask a series of questions. His expression was anxious, and a few strands of hair that had been specially combed at the corner of his forehead slipped off. It seemed that he had been looking for her everywhere for a long time.


    Today''s press conference, jian mengqi invited a lot of people in the industry. Of course, Yi''s, one of the city''s giants, was also invited, so ye zhiqiao was not surprised by yi chen''s appearance, but gu chengyan, who was standing quietly on the side, frowned secretly.


    Because according to her plan, yi chen should be being taught a lesson by gu mohan. The people she arranged to destroy the scene would accuse yi chen of being the messenger behind it, so gu mohan would definitely be angry at yi chen. Just now, gu mohan had not left, and she thought that gu mohan was watching too many media to get angry, but now that yi chen had successfully run backstage, gu mohan still hadn''t come!


    Did something go wrong with the plan?


    Gu chengyan began to doubt his previous judgment and wondered if ye zhiqiao and the others had discovered something.


    Her thoughtful and doubtful expression fell into ye zhiqiao''s eyes. With a little thought, ye zhiqiao understood what she was suspecting. At the same time, she knew that the appearance of yi chen made her suspicious.


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan had planned to catch gu chengyan today. Previously, she had tried her best to avoid gu chengyan''s methods in order to wait for the final "Trap." Before that, she must not let gu chengyan feel a bit of crisis. Otherwise, if she stopped midway, their plan would be ruined.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao had to pretend to be impatient and said to yi chen, "What does it matter if I go to the hospital or not? And don''t you know how to knock when you come in? How rude!"


    "I..." Yi chen paused, then explained innocently, "Didn''t I say I was too modest? I promise I won''t do it again, okay? Tell me first if you hurt yourself. You seemed to be limping when you walked. Did you sprain your ankle?"


    "I said it''s none of your business!!" Ye zhiqiao, of course, knew that yi chen was kind, but now he could only be wronged.


    Ye zhiqiao silently apologized to yi chen in her heart, then stood up abruptly, pointed at the door and said harshly, "Get out of here, now! I don''t want to see you at all! Are you expecting something to happen to me? Is it because I''m crippled and sprained that I can satisfy you?!"


    "... What?" Yi chen opened his mouth and stammered out a few words after a long time, "How... How did you say that about me?"


    Ye zhiqiao purposely said this to remind gu chengyan that yi chen was behind this when she heard the words of the worker who destroyed the venue.


    Sure enough, gu chengyan was tricked.


    She ran over to yi chen and pretended to persuade him, saying, "Young master yi, our president ye is in a bad mood today. He fell and was a little scared just now. Don''t worry too much. I think president ye is tired too. If she doesn''t rest here for a while, you..."


    Only by letting yi chen stay away from ye zhiqiao would gu mohan be able to find yi chen and stay away from ye zhiqiao. Only then would she have the opportunity to do so.


    Yi chen looked at gu chengyan with a blank face, then looked at ye zhiqiao''s ankle for a long time, finally sighing and saying, "Well, I''ll wait outside first. If you have something to tell me at any time."


    "... Ye zhiqiao did not agree, but sat back in the chair and closed her eyes.


    Yi chen rubbed his nose resentfully and turned to leave the room.


    As he walked forward, he pondered ye zhiqiao''s attitude. Although ye zhiqiao had always been indifferent to him, courteous and distant, but like today, he did not leave any face at all. It was the first time he had met the scene of directly opening his mouth to drive people away. Is it true that the woman beside ye zhiqiao said that she was in a bad mood?


    Just as he was puzzled, ye zhiqiao''s assistant, Xiao Man, came up to him with a piece of information.


    "Ah... Assistant xiao!" Yi chen recognized that Xiao Man was the person who often followed ye zhiqiao and knew her identity, so he raised his hand to stop her.


    Xiao Man frowned doubtfully, but stopped in front of him and nodded politely, "Hello, young master yi."


    Yi chen replied perfunctorily and then asked, "You are zhiqiao''s assistant, right? How''s your relationship with her?"


    Xiao Man was confused by his question and answered cautiously as a special assistant, "Superior-subordinate relationship."


    "I didn''t know it was a superior-subordinate relationship.!" Yi chen "Tsk" and continued, "I just want to ask you if Zhiqiao is in a bad mood recently. Don''t misunderstand."


    "What happened? In a bad mood?"


    Xiao Man repeated his question, and after seeing him nod his head repeatedly, he began to think carefully.


    She knew that the relationship between yi chen, the second young master of the Yi''s, and ye zhiqiao was not bad. They were all colleagues. It was inevitable that there would be business dealings in the future. The questions he asked were not trade secrets.


    With this in mind, she hesitated and said, "Recently... There have been no accidents in the company, but president ye''s personal feelings seem... A little... Awkward."


    "Awkward?" Yi chen listened in a fog, urging her to speak more carefully.

 Chapter 227 Yi Chen Confessed Again

    Xiao man tightened his grip on the information in his hand and lowered his voice slightly, "It may not be good for me to tell you this, but it''s not a big deal. It''s just that Mr. Ye and Mr. Gu... Seem... To have some friction recently."


    "She and gu mohan?!" Yi chen''s eyes were round.


    "Can you keep your voice down?" Xiao Man pursed her lips unhappily and then said, "The two of them haven''t spoken in days. Um... It should be Mr. Ye who has unilaterally refused to talk to Mr. Gu, but this is quite normal. Who doesn''t quarrel in love?"


    After listening to the last sentence "Who is in love and doesn''t quarrel?" The light in yi chen''s eyes dimmed.


    He knew that ye zhiqiao and gu mohan had been together for a long time, including the media and filming, as well as all kinds of reports after peeling off their cocoons. He had already sent ye zhiqiao and gu mohan to a pile, but he just didn''t want to believe it.


    The first time he really experienced love was because of ye zhiqiao. Until now, he couldn''t believe that he would be worried about a woman because of a chance encounter at the hotel entrance. But that was how ye zhiqiao appeared, that was how she came to his world without any warning and was shocked. What could he do? The only thing he could do was to keep her and not let her leave.


    But just now, ye zhiqiao angrily chased him away in front of outsiders. At that time, his first reaction was not even to be ashamed and angry because of being refuted, but to think that he had done something wrong, which made ye zhiqiao angry.


    It was too unlike him. Putting aside his pride and dignity, it was too unlike him.


    Now, there was something that made him even more incomprehensible. When he knew that ye zhiqiao''s bad attitude towards him was due to friction with gu mohan, the moment of sadness, heartache, falling into the ice cave made him almost afraid to admit that it was the feeling he would have.


    He is yi chen. How could yi chen have such a humble feeling?


    How could it be?


    He stood there in a daze for a long time, a thought in his head was constantly fermenting, constantly expanding, ready to come out.


    At this time, Xiao Man waited for a long time and did not see him speak again. Finally, he could not wait. He nodded at him and quickly went to look for ye zhiqiao with the information.


    Ye zhi happened to take over the speech from Xiao Man and read it roughly. Seeing that it was full of cliches, she quickly remembered the general idea and got up to follow her out of the backstage.


    Although the main part of the show was over, the venue was still crowded and noisy.


    Ye zhiqiao looked up and saw that jian mengqi was being surrounded by a group of "Hungry wolf" reporters on the east side of the stage, while gu Mohan was being surrounded by another group of female reporters on the other side. Behind the reporters, there were many ceos sitting in the center of the venue, waiting for the interview to end and to talk to gu mohan and jian mengqi politely.


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to laugh at the fact that the two of them were so crowded that they could only see the top of their heads and the corners of their mouths were not raised yet. They had been surrounded by a group of reporters who had found her at some point in time and then rushed over with lightning speed several times.


    She broke into a standard smile and shot them in front of the camera. "Miss ye, I heard that you were discovered and signed by a famous agency because of your amazing performance at the gu press conference. Is that true?" One of the reporters asked."


    It was all the first few questions in the speech. Ye zhiqiao was not nervous at all and said calmly with a smile, "About the signing..."


    The three interviews were in full swing, and the reporters who had been racking their brains to find out about these young entrepreneurs had seized a good opportunity this time. Twenty minutes had passed, and not only were they not satisfied with the release, but they were getting more and more intense.


    Gu mohan himself was used to dealing with such a scene, but he was afraid that ye zhi, who had just been "Injured," would not be able to withstand such an intense interview. He was about to go on stage and say a few concluding words to disperse the reporters, but before he could move, a white figure of Yu Guangzhong had already nimbly jumped onto the stage.


    "Everyone, be quiet!"


    Yi chen held up a microphone that he did not know where he got it from and raised his voice to the audience, "Everyone, calm down. All the reporters and friends are here today to watch some hot news. Now I have to announce something here. Maybe you will be interested."


    As soon as he said this, everyone''s eyes immediately focused on him. Before the cameras could figure out what was going on, they had already raised their cameras and aimed them at the people on the stage and slammed the shutter.


    Yi chen cleared his throat, looked around the crowd, and in a short time, he locked onto a familiar figure. He smiled at the owner of the figure, then continued, "Everyone should know me, but I still have to introduce myself on this important occasion today. My name is yi chen. I am the general manager of the Yi''s group in this city. Of course, I am also the younger brother of yi shaozhi, the president of the Yi''s. The purpose of my standing here now is to confess to someone." !!!


    As he spoke his last sentence slowly and solemnly, there was an uproar. The reporters present and a group of business celebrities were all whispering to each other, excitedly and curiously discussing the truth of yi chen''s words and the object of his confession.


    Yi chen once again looked at the person with a slightly stiff face and raised the corner of his mouth, "You don''t have to guess anymore. The person I want to confess is here. She is the main designer of this press conference - ye zhiqiao."


    Accompanied by voices of surprise, envy, or jealousy, ye zhiqiao instantly became the focus of the audience.


    This experience was completely different from when she became the focus of the show. She was nervous but excited during the show, shy but happy, but all around her at the moment was a thick and suffocating awkwardness.


    How could yi chen say these words? Ye zhiqiao was confused.


    Yi chen was also confused at first. He didn''t know whether he should say it in front of many media. This idea had actually risen from a long time ago. He had hesitated and cowardly, but just now, when he stood alone in a corner without anyone and was secretly sad for ye zhiqiao''s attitude, he finally realized that perhaps this life was ye zhiqiao. If he let go of ye zhiqiao and let her fall into the arms of others, then he might never find love again in this life.


    Yi chen found his brave self. Love would make people feel inferior and cowardly. But for ye zhiqiao, he must persevere bravely and fight with all his might.


    "Ye zhiqiao, I like you. I hope you can be with me."

 Chapter 228 No One Could Covet It

    Yi chen faced ye zhiqiao''s direction, his back straight, handsome, and slowly said, "Zhiqiao, I know that maybe you don''t have too deep feelings for me in your heart, even compared to you, you will be more inclined to care about Mohan. But you are not suitable. You know gu mohan''s family. You have to work harder with him than any other woman. I can''t bear to see you like that. So when you''re with me and marry me, I promise that you''ll be happy and safe for the rest of your life. As for those dangerous accidents, they will never happen again."


    The last time that happened in jian mengqi''s studio, it was always in yi chen''s heart. Although he was under the condition of being drugged and unconscious at that time, he had indeed done too much to ye zhiqiao, and there was no way to deny it. He had to take responsibility.


    And he also understood afterwards that someone was deliberately trying to frame ye zhiqiao, so it can be seen that gu mohan was unable to properly protect ye zhiqiao, so he should take over next.


    "Zhiqiao, come to me. We''ll live a safe and happy life and never be afraid again, okay?"


    As yi chen raised his right hand in the direction of ye zhiqiao, everyone''s eyes fell on ye zhiqiao again. The reporters who were close to him adjusted the microphone to the maximum, afraid to miss any sound of ye zhiqiao.


    At this time, gu mohan''s face could already be described as gloomy, especially when he saw the reporters all staring at ye zhiqiao with "Covetous eyes," wanting to hear the response from his woman to another man, he wished he could gouge out their eyes and ears!


    But just as he was about to call the security guards to chase the reporters out, ye zhiqiao, who had remained silent all along, suddenly opened her mouth.


    At first, she looked at gu mohan from half a distance away from the venue, her eyes flat without any movement. Then she quickly retracted her gaze. This time, she looked straight at yi chen above the stage.


    I remember that yi chen had proposed to her before. That time, he had prepared a flower ring and many friends'' blessings. At that time, ye zhiqiao was surprised and puzzled. She did not know that she and yi chen were so close that he wanted to propose.


    This time, he did not prepare anything, only in front of almost all the media in the city, said a touching confession, no gorgeous words to modify, no vows of commitment, but with his heart, to express the most real thoughts.


    The time spent together was not too short. Ye zhiqiao could hear his sincerity and seriousness, but the result would not change.


    "I can''t promise you. I''m sorry."


    Ye zhiqiao calmly spat out every word clearly, "I''ve been with gu mohan for a while. Although it''s not officially public, it''s not a secret. Since we have chosen each other, we will take this relationship seriously, whether it''s him or me."


    Gu mohan was stunned when he heard this. For a moment, he didn''t know what to do or say. He just stared blankly at ye zhiqiao in the crowd.


    "Impossible!" Yi chen didn''t believe it, so he stuck his neck and asked, "Haven''t you guys been fighting lately? Because of this, you were in a bad mood, so you did that to me just now, didn''t you?"


    Huh? Quarrel?!


    Ye zhiqiao had just said that the two of them would take this relationship seriously, but now yi chen said that the two of them quarreled, and the reporters under the stage who did not know the truth began to whisper and discuss the authenticity of the information.


    "It was a fight." Unexpectedly, ye zhiqiao answered happily, but then she asked back, "Mr. Yi has also been in love. Don''t you have any experience quarreling with your girlfriend? An occasional quarrel would help the two of them to get along, and it would help to warm up their relationship. Gu mohan and I are at this stage right now. Therefore, our relationship is very good, so Mr. Yi won''t bother."


    As soon as she explained, the others all gave a "Oh -" sound. Yeah, who''s in love and doesn''t fight? This is not a decisive factor in how a relationship works.


    The tense atmosphere at the scene instantly eased, and gu mohan recovered from his surprise. Ye zhiqiao had made it clear that as a man, it was time for him to make a statement.


    Gu mohan originally intended to drive the reporters away and shut the door to give yi chen a good lesson, but since the trouble had been solved and his mood suddenly became good, let it go for the time being.


    He took the microphone from the staff and looked at her like ye zhiqiao, but unlike ye zhiqiao, he was smiling and his mouth was about to turn to the root of his ear.


    After that, he said, "Is everyone clear about what Zhiqiao just said? That''s exactly what I thought. But I need to add a few more things."


    There was a focus in each of the three directions of the venue, and the reporters were not only focused on which one to shoot. They secretly regretted that they should have brought a few more cameras when they came here. However, after hearing gu mohan''s words, they couldn''t help but raise their ears and move closer to him.


    Gu mohan saw the scene slowly calm down and continued, "First of all, as my girlfriend, Zhiqiao has always been confessed. I really don''t know whether my boyfriend should be happy or sad, so I took this opportunity to unilaterally announce our relationship with everyone. Of course, if necessary, we will also hold a press conference to announce this in the future. Second, when Zhiqiao rejected yi zong just now, it seemed as if he had politely said'' I''m sorry''. In my opinion, it was completely unnecessary. He had to confess his feelings when he knew that the other party had a boyfriend. Yi zong..."


    He looked at yi chen, his eyes like sharp iron hooks, nailed to his body: "You are doing this, isn''t it too immoral?"


    "I am..."


    Yi chen was about to argue something when gu mohan continued, "Third, ye zhiqiao is my gu mohan''s woman. I hope everyone can remember this fact. I care about Mohan''s woman, and no one can covet her!!"


    "Whether you are the son of the Yi''s or some other dignitaries, this kind of thing... Can''t happen again."


    Gu mohan said this almost through clenched teeth, and the warning in it was frightening.


    The scene was so quiet that everyone could hear that gu mohan was expressing his dissatisfaction with yi chen. However, when everyone turned their eyes to yi chen again, they found that the latter only fixed his gaze on ye zhiqiao''s direction, as if he had not heard gu mohan''s warning.

 Chapter 229 The Green Mountain Was Left Behind

    Ye zhiqiao looked at him calmly, without any hesitation or retreat, and completely stood on gu mohan''s side.


    Yi chen frowned slightly, as if unwilling, and his lips moved a few times, "What if I wait for you?"


    I can wait for you. If one day you and gu mohan are separated, then come to me, okay? Ye zhiqiao understood the meaning of yi chen''s words.


    She did not poke it, but shook her head slowly and firmly.


    "... I see." Yi chen''s eyes were lowered, and his left hand, which was holding the microphone, was also lowered. The metal microphone rolled down from his weak palm. After a piercing sound, it finally stopped at his feet.


    So it''s the same with hard work, so I don''t like it... That''s it.


    Yi chen suddenly wanted to laugh at himself, laughing at his own recklessness, childishness and ignorance, laughing at his sentimentality and self-righteousness, laughing at his fall from the "Sentimental" altar to the bottom, becoming a synonym for "Rejected."


    But he could not smile. At this moment, his movements, his expression, and even his breathing were filled with endless disappointment and loneliness.


    His mind was blank, and he had no more thoughts, so he could only leave in a disheartened state.


    Even at this moment, the reporters still refused to let him go. After all, "The second young master of the Yi''s proposed to president gu''s girlfriend and was rejected" was a hot news that attracted too much attention. The crisp clapping of "Kakakakakacha" followed the dusty footsteps of the audience until his figure completely disappeared behind the door of the conference hall, and the heartbreaking voice finally stopped.


    As the "Man 2" left, the reporters naturally focused on gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. In less than two seconds, they were already surrounded.


    Gu chengyan sat in an inconspicuous corner of the venue and watched the scene quietly. A good idea suddenly came to his mind.


    The purpose of her plan was to hurt ye zhiqiao, but she had not considered how she would clear her name after the success of the plan. However, the appearance of yi chen now seemed to provide her with a shield.


    Love is not allowed, but resentment is born in the heart. These eight words, coupled with yi chen, who had just been fiercely rejected, were simply flawless.


    After ye zhiqiao was injured, she pushed all these things onto yi chen. At that time, she could have found an opportunity to tell gu mohan that yi chen had made two preparations before he confessed. If he failed, he would have directly designed to hurt ye zhiqiao, and no one else could have what he could not have.


    Ah, with that thought, even she was about to believe it.


    Just as she made her decision and got up to prepare for the next plan, her eyes suddenly swept over gu mohan in the crowd.


    At this glance, she suddenly felt something was wrong.


    What''s wrong?


    She stopped and looked carefully at gu mohan, who was cooperating with the media in the interview. Finally, she realized that what made her feel strange was gu mohan''s smile.


    During an interview, the interviewee would always cooperate with a smile, giving the audience a good impression. Gu mohan used to do the same, but now he is smiling a little... Too happily. It was not revealed on purpose, but from the heart.


    He seemed to be in a very good mood, because ye zhiqiao rejected yi chen just now?


    Gu chengyan walked closer and stared at gu mohan. At the same time, her heart suddenly went numb. There seemed to be a thread pulling at one end of her back, which made her have to tighten her body.


    No, gu mohan''s reaction was not right from the beginning to the end.


    He was happy for ye zhiqiao, which makes sense, but what about yi chen? Why did he let yi chen go so easily?


    Even if gu mohan was trying to act magnanimous in front of the media, according to her plan, gu mohan should have known about yi chen''s intention to sabotage the press conference. Under that premise, yi chen provoked him and confessed to his girlfriend in public.


    With gu Mohan''s character, it was impossible!


    So, did her plan go wrong? Did the worker she sent forget to say something, or... Say something more?!


    The more gu chengyan thought about it, the more flustered she became. Ever since the little worker was caught, she had a strange feeling. Whether ye zhiqiao was lucky enough to avoid all her tricks, or gu mohan''s magnanimity in letting go of yi chen, she could not help but doubt the success of her plan.


    Otherwise, let the rest of the plan go.


    If you keep the green hills, there will be no firewood. As long as her identity as gu chengyan was still safe, as long as she continued to stay in the studio, stay by ye zhiqiao''s side, and take revenge, there would always be opportunities. It was better to let ye zhi qiao be happy for a while longer than to lose the whole game by accident.


    Gu chengyan withdrew his gaze, retreated to the corner and sat down again, quietly looking at the smiling ye zhiqiao in the distance from the walking crowd.


    After half an hour or so of media interviews, they were finally forced to stop. Then, gu mohan and jian mengqi exchanged a few polite words with the remaining friends, and the busy morning finally ended.


    The rest of the work of organizing the venue was left to the staff. Gu mohan told his assistant a few words and came to ye zhiqiao''s side.


    Ye zhiqiao was waiting for him too. When she saw him coming, she went up to him.


    The two of them found a quiet place outside the venue. Gu mohan asked first, "Gu chengyan doesn''t seem to be moving. Where''s your side?"


    Ye zhiqiao did not intend to pay attention to him, but she still put the business first and replied lightly, "No."


    According to the worker who was caught, gu chengyan clearly had a bigger conspiracy, but the press conference was over, and she did not make any more noise, which was really puzzling. Originally, gu mohan had already arranged for people to keep an eye on gu chengyan. As long as she dared to do something in person, she would immediately be caught in the act. But now, it seems that this plan is in vain.


    Gu mohan rubbed his nose with his fingers, thinking that it would be fine if he failed this time. There would always be a chance in the future. As long as he paid more attention, gu chengyan would not be able to turn over any big waves.


    No longer considering gu chengyan''s question, gu mohan''s brows widened and his face returned to happiness. He suggested, "The press conference has been going on for almost a morning. Are you exhausted? How about I take you out to relax?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t even want to look at him now, so naturally she wouldn''t agree.


    Gu mohan had to change course and said, "Let''s go to a fun place and have lunch on the way. Little treasure has been backstage for so long, and she definitely wants to go out and play. If you don''t go, she will be unhappy."


    Although she knew that he had deliberately moved out of little treasure to make her soft hearted, ye zhiqiao could not help but soften her heart. She tilted her head in anger and finally agreed.

 Chapter 230 Catching a Doll

    However, although ye zhiqiao agreed to gu mohan''s request on the face of little treasure, it did not mean that she had forgiven gu mohan, so on the way, she was still the same as before, neither cold nor hot, not talking, not turning her head, and only focused on playing with little treasure in her arms.


    Gu mohan finally parked his car outside a large shopping mall and said to ye zhiqiao, "Take little treasure out of the car and wait for me first. No parking here. I''ll drive to the garage."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t even nod her head, so she opened the door and got out of the car.


    Gu mohan was prepared for her attitude and did not say anything else. He stepped on the gas and drove away.


    When he pulled over, the two of them were still in their original positions. Gu mohan sighed in relief. God knows, in case ye zhiqiao was in a hurry to go back on his word, he ran all the way back from the garage. Even if he was an ordinary person, he would have been able to run outside the shopping mall in a custom-made suit. He attracted a lot of curious eyes.


    "Okay, let''s go in." He said with a fawning smile.


    Ye zhiqiao picked up little treasure and lifted her leg to walk towards the door. Gu mohan took little treasure from her arms and said, "It''s better for me to hold the people inside."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t say yes or no and continued walking on her own.


    Gu mohan followed behind and whispered to little treasure in his arms, "You little girl, if you don''t help me say a few words, you''ll know you''re happy."


    The "Innocent lying down with a gun" little treasure blinked his big black eyes and pursed his lips, "I said it. I praised my father. I said you were good-looking and you were smart."


    "Really?" Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and glanced at ye zhiqiao. Seeing that she did not pay attention to their movements, he continued to ask, "Then what did she say?"


    Little treasure answered truthfully, "Aunt ye stopped laughing when she heard you, and little treasure didn''t dare to say it."


    "... Mmm." Gu mohan sighed inwardly. It seemed impossible to start with little treasure.


    "Hey, Zhiqiao!" Seeing that ye zhiqiao was about to walk into the store, gu mohan quickly stopped her, raised his chin to signal the elevator at hand, and said, "Let''s go here to the sixth floor."


    This shopping mall is the largest and most extensive shopping mall in the city. The first, second, third and fourth floors are all kinds of shopping malls, and above it is a place for leisure and entertainment.


    The sixth floor that gu mohan was taking ye zhiqiao and xiao bao to was a game hall, and the entire floor was filled with all kinds of electronic amusement facilities.


    Ye zhiqiao was not interested in this kind of arcade, but xiao bao was very excited. He shot with a bunch of students, and then bounced around on the dance machine.


    Holding little treasure in his arms, he got down from the virtual car. Gu mohan noticed that ye zhiqiao was sitting on a rest chair not far away. He crossed his legs and held his chin with one hand. He didn''t know what he was thinking, so he squatted down and discussed with little treasure, "Little treasure, look how boring aunt ye is sitting by herself. Go ask her what she wants to play. Shall we play with her?"


    Of course, little treasure agreed. He immediately pushed away gu mohan''s arms, which were protecting her, and jumped to ye zhiqiao''s position.


    "Aunt ye, why are you sitting here all the time?" As little treasure coquettishly shook ye zhiqiao''s hand, he asked, "Would you like to go and play with little treasure?"


    Gu mohan followed, and then little treasure said, "Yes, I brought you here to relax. Isn''t it more tiring to wait for us here?"


    Ye zhiqiao turned a deaf ear to his words and only touched little treasure''s head and coaxed, "Little treasure, be good. Aunt ye will be happy if you have a good time. Don''t worry about aunt ye. Have a good time yourself."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was about to refuse again, gu mohan glanced around and saw a row of small houses near the guardrail. He pointed to them and turned to ye zhiqiao, "Do you like that? I heard that all the little girls nowadays like it."


    This time, ye zhiqiao followed his finger and looked there, but only for one look, then lowered her head.


    Little treasure received gu mohan''s "Command" and started acting coquettish again, "Go ahead... Aunt ye, little treasure likes that. Can you help me? Please..."


    Hoo -


    Ye zhiqiao let out a deep breath. There was nothing she could do. As long as it was xiao bao''s request, she seemed unable to refuse.


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao finally stood up and pulled little treasure towards a row of dolls opposite her.


    There were six dolls in total, and they were arranged in a row horizontally. Little treasure stopped in front of the innermost one. He put his two small hands on the glass window and said in surprise, "Aunt ye, that little Xiongben is so cute. Can you catch that for little treasure?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao popped her mouth and blinked at Xiongben jun in the corner. Although she rarely came into contact with this kind of game facilities, she still played with catching dolls, so she was also aware of the success rate of catching dolls. Looking at that silly black bear, she was a little discouraged.


    Gu mohan saw all of her embarrassment. If she did not act now, when would she wait?


    Gu mohan''s suit jacket had long been taken off during the game and was always on his arm, so after he rolled up his shirt sleeve, he naturally handed it to ye zhiqiao.


    Of course, it wouldn''t be a big deal to help with that jacket, but it''s the "Cold war era," so ye zhiqiao glanced at it and turned around.


    Seeing this, gu mohan said, "You can''t catch this. You can''t give it to little treasure, can you? Or... I''m not going to catch it, you can do it yourself?"


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao glared at him angrily, knowing that she could not catch him and deliberately said such a thing!


    Then ye zhiqiao thought for a moment, and suddenly reached out to take the clothes, and said in her heart, "Hold them for you! I''ll listen to you! How embarrassing it would be if I didn''t catch you later!!"


    Seeing that she still had a cold face, but was willing to take the clothes, gu mohan thought that she was still concerned about him. He was so happy that he grabbed a large bag of game coins from the basket and said confidently, "Wait, I''ll have to catch all the black bears for you."


    With that said, he turned around and began to control the handle. Only then did ye zhiqiao quietly turn her head back and watch his progress with the corner of her eyes.


    As he moved, the mechanical claw was activated, moving to the right at a constant speed, then backward, and then slowly falling. The three of them followed closely the little mechanical claw. Suddenly, ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened and her lips opened slightly.


    The round little bear was caught accurately by the mechanical claw! Not only that, there was no tendency to fall after being raised.


    With a "Clatter," a black Xiongben appeared in the small battle on the side of the doll machine.

 Chapter 231 Whats Our Relationship?

    "Daddy, you''re so awesome!" Little treasure in ye zhiqiao''s arms was still worshipping gu mohan until he left the game hall.


    Ye zhiqiao followed little treasure''s astonished gaze and looked at the bag in gu Mohan''s hand. A dozen Xiongben people gathered together and stared at her with round eyes.


    Gu mohan was flattered by little treasure and wanted to show off again, but noticing that ye zhiqiao obviously didn''t want to buy it, he had to give up and quickly took a few steps to catch up with ye zhiqiao and said, "Are you hungry? Let''s go upstairs for dinner?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t say yes or no. She lowered her head and asked for xiao bao''s opinion. After getting a positive answer, she walked into the elevator.


    Several floors upstairs were full of restaurants, but gu mohan had a plan in mind and took the two of them directly to the 17th floor.


    Looking at the four big words flashing on the sign, ye zhiqiao stopped in her tracks and subconsciously glanced at gu mohan. She saw the latter touch her nose and straighten the corner of her clothes. Even if she did not look, she was too lazy to say anything. She followed the waiter behind her and walked in.


    Ye zhiqiao did not refuse, which made gu mohan very happy. He giggled at the sign of "Couple restaurant" for a long time, then quickly followed ye zhiqiao''s steps.


    Gu mohan had already made reservations before he came, and the seats were also chosen. Just by the window, the height and angle of view of the floor were very good.


    "What would you like to eat?" Gu mohan helped ye zhiqiao pull out the chair and asked with his head down.


    Ye zhiqiao tilted her head to avoid him and said to little treasure, "The air conditioning in here is sufficient. Take off your coat, or you will catch a cold when you go out."


    "... Gu mohan coughed awkwardly and sat across from him.


    Ye zhiqiao helped little treasure put his coat away and finally picked up the menu. After discussing what he wanted to eat with little treasure, she stopped talking.


    Gu mohan had to choose his own things and call the waiter.


    Perhaps because of the high level of consumption here, there are not many diners in the restaurant, only a few people, although the decoration of the warm atmosphere, but it still seems cold.


    Gu mohan cut up the steak, put it in front of ye zhiqiao and said, "I remember you like this. I haven''t been to this restaurant before, and I don''t know how it tastes. Try it."


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at the neat little piece of beef and frowned slightly. Then, as if she hadn''t seen it, she ate her own food. Little treasure blinked his big eyes and looked back and forth between the two adults. Finally, he buried his head and ate.


    Gu mohan, who had been ignored for the umpteenth time, had no choice but to bring the plate back. But facing a table of exquisite food, there was no desire anymore.


    Qin Baiye, who is unreliable, will come up with some bad ideas! He complained in his heart.


    Gu mohan had no experience in love, and he knew nothing about making women happy. Compared to himself, he thought that Qin Baiye had some experience, so he took the opportunity to ask Qin Baiye for a way.


    The arcade, the doll hunt, and the quiet couple''s restaurant were all Qin Baiye''s tricks. At that time, Qin Baiye even boasted, "Women, it''s scary to make a fuss, but it''s really easy to coax. Give me some presents, go out and play, and nothing will happen!"


    Gu mo stared at the beef on the fork with hatred. He treated it as Qin Baiye and bit it into his mouth.


    Hmph! Is this nothing?!


    Just as gu mohan was about to "Pay attention" to ye zhiqiao again, little treasure suddenly put down the spoon, pulled ye zhiqiao''s arm, and whispered a few words in her ear.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and stood up to carry little treasure down from the chair.


    Gu mohan didn''t know why, so he asked, "Where are you... Going?"


    Of course, ye zhiqiao would not answer him, leaving him with a cold back.


    Gu mohan hurriedly chased after them, crossed the dining room and turned a corner. He saw the two of them not far ahead, but when he got closer, he had to stop abruptly because on the sign on the wall, it said, "Ladies'' room."


    He was so scared that he had to go to the bathroom. Gu mohan heaved a deep breath and was about to return to his seat when ye zhiqiao suddenly walked out of the bathroom.


    Seeing his puzzled eyes, ye zhiqiao explained, "Little treasure needs a while more."


    Of course, the meaning of the words was very easy to understand, but gu Mohan was still in the same place for a long time. He was silently calculating the first few words that ye zhiqiao said to him from the beginning of their quarrel. The fifth or sixth sentence? Anyway, it was the first time he had asked.


    But before he could be pleasantly surprised, ye zhiqiao''s next sentence hit him to the bottom again.


    "Take little treasure home tonight." Ye zhi said in a tone that didn''t fluctuate.


    "... Knowing that it was impossible, gu mohan couldn''t help but ask," go back... To your place?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him indifferently, knowing that he was asking questions, but she was still prepared to take this opportunity to explain everything clearly: "Go back to your own home. Little treasure is your daughter. It''s not appropriate to live with me. I won''t pick up little treasure from now on."


    "You... Don''t you like little treasure very much?" Gu mohan was so shocked by her sudden decision that he couldn''t decide whether she was serious or angry. He asked, "And you just said that our relationship is good. Now what..."


    "Do you think our relationship is good?" Ye zhiqiao asked back expressionless.


    Gu mohan frowned and looked at her in confusion, "I don''t think there''s anything wrong with our relationship. Yes, I made you angry, but I can apologize and coax you until you''re happy, but what do you mean now?"


    "It''s so strange that gu mohan..." Ye zhiqiao hugged her arm and asked, "What''s our relationship? A couple?"


    "Isn''t it?"


    "Of course not!" Ye zhiqiao said decisively, "When did I promise to be your girlfriend?"


    "You..."


    Gu mohan was speechless for a moment. His relationship with ye zhiqiao had always gone with the flow of nature, as if it had naturally become close since when. The two of them had acquiesced to each other''s identity almost at the same time, but... It did not seem to have been formally mentioned.


    "But... You admitted it at the press conference." Gu mohan had to testify about what happened just now.


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled and then said, "I only did that to get rid of yi chen. As for why I wanted to get rid of yi chen, you should know it too, right? His staying there might make gu chengyan suspicious. Every word I said just now was to deal with gu chengyan. It doesn''t mean anything else."

 Chapter 232 Take Little Treasure with You

    "Even so, you don''t have to... You don''t have to..."


    The more gu mohan wanted to find evidence to prove ye zhiqiao''s feelings for him, the more confused his mind became and he couldn''t remember anything, so he raised his voice and said, "I don''t care! Anyway, you are my girlfriend. I won''t agree to what you just said. Absolutely not!"


    Ye zhiqiao was a little impatient, and her tone became worse. She said, "Can you stop acting like this? You''ve caused me a lot of trouble by staying at my door every day for the past few days. Gu mohan, make it clear that I have nothing to do with you other than being your employee."


    As she spoke, she turned to look into the bathroom, then said in a low voice, "Including xiao bao, I like her very much, and everything I do is only because I like her, but don''t forget that she is your daughter, and I have no obligation to take care of her life."


    At this time, ye zhiqiao still didn''t know the true identity of little treasure. If she knew one day, she would definitely be ashamed and blame herself for what she said today. But at this moment, she just wanted to cut off all communication with gu mohan and not interfere with each other.


    But when gu Mohan heard this, he still wanted to get angry inexplicably.


    His body tensed up and he took a step forward, pushing ye zhiqiao closer to him and the wall. Without ye zhiqiao resisting, he asked, "Didn''t you say I was a rascal? Do you like what I''m doing now?"


    "Go away!" Afraid that little treasure would hear it, ye zhiqiao was angry, but she could only yell at him at the top of her voice.


    Gu mohan did not care about her attitude at all and even moved closer. He grabbed her hands against his chest and said, "Listen, I don''t believe everything you said just now. You like me. That''s the truth. Besides, I don''t even want to think about leaving. Either take little treasure with me or we won''t talk about it!"


    "You..." Ye zhiqiao''s eyes seemed to be spitting fire. She said in disbelief, "Little treasure is your daughter. You actually..."


    Gu mohan stared at her intently, as if if if she were really determined to leave, he would really not want little treasure.


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart suddenly shrank, unable to tell what it felt like.


    She was angry at Mohan''s cold-blooded ruthlessness, but at the same time, she was sad for little treasure. After all, the child was innocent, and she would still feel sorry for an outsider, but as the biological father of little treasure, gu mohan actually said such a thing. If little treasure heard this, how disappointed he would be!


    "Get out of the way!" Ye zhiqiao''s face was calm and her tone was very aggressive.


    Gu mohan asked her, "Are you leaving?"


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyes and glared at him, frowning so tightly that her anger was expressed everywhere in her body.


    But anger was anger, and she did not mention leaving.


    Seeing her like this, gu mohan did not dare to push her too hard. Just at this time, the voice of little treasure came from the bathroom. He took a few steps back and let ye zhiqiao go in to take care of little treasure.


    After this time, ye zhiqiao returned to the state of being silent, only looking at gu mohan with a more indifferent gaze than before.


    Until evening, gu mohan sent ye zhiqiao and xiao bao back to the apartment.


    As usual, ye zhiqiao carried little treasure into the room and turned around to close the door, while gu Mohan reached out to block the door that was about to close.


    One of them stood inside the door, the other outside the door, facing each other for a long time, and neither of them would give in.


    Or ye zhiqiao said first, "Get out!"


    "I haven''t gone in yet." Gu mohan lowered his head and signaled with his eyes that he was still standing outside the door.


    Ye zhiqiao was tired of his shameless appearance and coldly warned, "I left little treasure. Don''t go too far."


    Gu mohan did not give up and fought for himself, "Then can you give little treasure''s father a chance too? Even if it''s just ten minutes, let me in for ten minutes. Let''s have a good talk."


    "I don''t want to talk to you. If you have the time, you should think about how to be a father first!"


    Before he could finish his sentence, gu mohan felt a sharp pain in his arm and withdrew his hand reflexively. The next second, the door was slammed and stopped in front of his nose.


    Hoo -


    Gu mohan tidied up his hair in the cold wind when he closed the door, then looked down at his arm.


    Two long and one short, three red marks juxtaposed in the middle of the forearm, and there was even a bloodshot spot, which showed how hard the woman had grasped just now.


    He shook his head and sighed. Today was a bad day. It was no big deal not to catch gu chengyan''s current status. The most important thing was that the relationship between him and ye zhiqiao had not eased at all for most of the day.


    Qin Baiye could not count on it. If he used those tricks, it would only backfire. He had to rely on himself at the crucial moment.


    Just as gu mohan was leaning against the door trying to coax ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao inside the door was also thinking about something.


    She leaned against the window with a cup of warm water in her hand and stared blankly into the distance, slowly recalling every bit of this day in her mind.


    She was disappointed that she did not catch gu chengyan. After all, she had been on guard for so long, but in the end, she failed. Thinking about how to be on guard in the future, she felt exhausted. But what disappointed her the most was gu mohan.


    She didn''t lie to Mohan. She said those words at the press conference to get rid of yi chen, but there was also some sincerity in them. If she had no feelings for gu Mohan, even if she was beaten to death, she would not use gu mohan as a shield.


    Even so, she could not admit her feelings for gu Mohan. She had already decided to separate, so she had to be happy. When she was constantly reacting to the chaos, she would speak while little treasure was away.


    But she never thought that gu mohan would say something like that to let her leave with little treasure!


    If xiao bao was an orphan, she would have left him behind immediately, but the problem was that xiao bao had a father. Gu mohan was her father. As a father, what would she think if the child heard that?


    She also thought from gu mohan''s standpoint that perhaps gu mohan was too angry and anxious, or simply said that to keep her, which was understandable, but still not worth forgiving.


    If she was little treasure''s mother, no matter what difficulties and obstacles she encountered, she would never let go of little treasure!


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more angry she became. At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked again.


    She didn''t have to guess to know who was outside the door. As she walked towards the door, she thought, "How dare you hit a gun!"

 Chapter 233 Sea of Flowers

    Opening the door, it was indeed gu mohan''s battered face, and that face was smiling like a flower!


    Gu mo was so happy with a cold smile that ye zhiqiao''s face was so ugly that she asked angrily, "What are you doing again?!"


    "Can you bring little treasure to the villa with me?" Gu mohan asked hopefully.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him as if he were a monster, wondering if he had just been knocked silly by the door? She wouldn''t even let him in, would she follow him home?


    Gu mohan understood what she meant and said, "Come with me, I promise. I won''t stop you if you want to come back when you get there."


    "Won''t you stop me?" Ye zhiqiao pulled her face and asked back. When she saw gu Mohan nodding his head hurriedly, she sneered, and her beautifully shaped lips spat out two words: "Dream."


    Seeing that she was about to close the door again, gu mohan used his old tricks to push her over. This time she had to go anyway, or else... His preparations would be in vain!


    "Zhiqiao, Zhiqiao, just promise me. Can''t you just go over and take a look?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s patience was almost worn out and she shouted, "Are you done?!"


    "I..." Gu mohan was just about to continue his shameless attack, but then he thought that ye zhiqiao seemed to hate this, so he quickly stopped. He carefully recalled that ye zhiqiao had always been a pushover, so it seemed that he had to find another way.


    He stepped back a little, one leg still against the door, but his upper body began to undress.


    This time it was ye zhiqiao''s turn to be at a loss, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? You''re here..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, gu mohan had already taken off his suit jacket and threw it into her arms. Then he quickly rolled up his sleeves to reveal the honey-colored skin on his arm.


    After standing outside for a while, he felt cold and put on his coat, so ye zhiqiao could see the wound on his arm.


    Those three bright finger marks, how... How did they look so much like their own hands?


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously raised her hand, flipped her palm and bent her fingers to look at her fingernails. Well, yesterday''s manicured fingernails had a small tip on each of them. Although they were curved, the consequences would still be very serious if they were picked up.


    She followed her finger and looked at gu mohan''s arm again. In contrast, the "Scene of the accident" was immediately clear.


    "I... I caught this?" She asked, holding her breath.


    Gu mohan was not an ordinary man. He was the president of the gu family. He usually met some influential people. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. He can change into summer clothes in a few days. If these few finger marks were seen by others, what would he think? Anyway... I won''t think of anything good.


    Her flustered expression was seen by gu mohan, which was exactly what gu mohan wanted. He sighed helplessly and said, "If I were seen by others, I wouldn''t have to take the face of the president of the gu family. There must be countless reporters coming to ask me to explain. What can I say?"


    "Then you... Then you can''t blame me entirely..." Ye zhiqiao stuck her nose and defended herself, "You had to stop me from closing the door. I had to..."


    Gu mohan looked as if he had been bullied and complained, "You are not responsible!"


    "!!" Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and opened her eyes wide as if she didn''t know the man in front of her. How could his tone of voice be so similar to the "Sissy" in a sketch?


    Gu mohan also felt that he was exaggerating, so he cleared his throat and said, "Well, you come with me. I won''t care about this, okay?"


    After all this fuss, she still wanted her to agree to go to the villa. Ye zhiqiao took a few deep breaths to try to calm her down.


    After a long while, she persuaded herself, forget it, just go with him this time, see what he could do, and think of it as compensation for breaking his arm. And if she could, she would take this opportunity to send little treasure home.


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded reluctantly.


    Gu mohan, on the other hand, rushed into the house cheerfully and called for little treasure. After packing up, he led the two of them out together. He had already called his assistants forty minutes earlier, and with their efficiency, they must be all ready by now.


    Ye zhiqiao had no idea how excited gu mohan was along the way. After arriving at the villa, she walked in as familiar as usual, waiting for an opportunity to explain everything to gu mohan.


    "Wait a minute!" Gu mohan suddenly stopped her from behind.


    Ye zhiqiao turned around and asked, "What''s wrong? Aren''t you going in?"


    "Go in." Gu mohan picked up little treasure on the ground and pointed to the garage, "I''ll take little treasure to the car first. You can go in yourself."


    Ye zhi coincidentally frowned. "Ah?" With a cry. Gu mohan had never been in the habit of parking his own car since he got home, so he left it to the driver, but now he had to not only park his own car, but also take little treasure with him!


    Ye zhiqiao did not understand the meaning of his behavior, but she was too lazy to care about him. She agreed and walked into the villa alone.


    Gu mohan had been acting strangely ever since he knocked on the door. He didn''t know what "Conspiracy" was brewing. Ye zhiqiao looked up at the villa as she pondered. After this glance, it seemed that the villa was also a little strange.


    She pursed her lips and pushed the door open.


    As she entered the room with one foot, the melodious piano music suddenly flowed in the house. The style of the music was elegant and long, and every note was like a warm spring water, flowing out of the skin, inexplicably making people feel surrounded by a kind of tenderness.


    Subconsciously, she let go of her hand, turned around and looked up.


    In the next moment, she finally understood why she had thought the villa strange. The chandeliers in the villa were all white or light yellow, but when she was outside just now, the light she saw from the window was light pink, almost white, so she did not react for a moment, but when she was inside, the romantic feeling that light pink brought was something she could not ignore.


    Flowers were even more important.


    Not a bunch, not a bunch, but a piece, covered the living room and study stairs, in short, covered the entire villa a sea of flowers!


    The roses were pink, too. If you squat down and take a closer look, the delicate petals still had fresh water droplets on them. Each one was without any impurities. Ye zhiqiao could not help but shake her head in surprise. Gu mohan''s villa was much larger than the ordinary villa. It was covered with floors and fresh pink roses. How did he do that?

 Chapter 234 Gu Mohan Was Still Very Good

    "Buzz, buzz -"


    A humming sound came from the rotation of the machine. Ye zhiqiao subconsciously looked up and saw a model plane spinning above her head. A small gift box was hanging on the wings on both sides of the plane with thin lines. As if sensing something, after she looked over, the plane immediately began to move and slowly flew forward.


    The sea of flowers under her feet automatically made way for one person to walk on. She blinked in surprise and hesitated to follow.


    The plane passed through the brightly lit living room, up the stairs filled with pink and white hydrogen balloons to the second floor, and finally disappeared behind the half-open door of a room.


    This was the room that ye zhiqiao had been living in when she was here.


    She tilted her head and looked through the crack of the door, only to find that it was dark inside and there was no sign of it. So he pushed the door open slowly and walked in.


    With a "Pa" sound, a faint blue light suddenly lit up in the room. On the side wall, on the french window opposite, there were actually dynamic pictures at the same time. Those pictures were silent, as if they were connected by pictures, but the protagonists above were all ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao, who appeared at the airport wearing sunglasses and long dark green hair, first came to the apartment to pack things, busy in the kitchen, eating with xiao bao and gu mohan, sat in front of the french window in the evening, biting a brush and staring at ye zhiqiao in the distance, wearing a long skirt and rotating under the spotlight.


    Each of them was either a smile or a distressed ye zhiqiao who really existed in life.


    It could be seen that in addition to some media reports and fashion street photos, a large part of this was taken without her knowledge, and these photos appeared here at this time, it must be no accident.


    The dynamic scene finally stopped. After a few seconds, a line of words slowly appeared on the pure black screen.


    "Hello, ye zhiqiao. I''m gu mohan."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the handwriting in confusion. Then, one line of words dissolved like ink droplets in water, and another line appeared.


    "It''s been a long time since we first met. It''s been a long time since I thought of you as family and as little treasure''s mother."


    A silly smile flashed across the screen.


    "But I seem to have forgotten that women have to be courted, and they have to confess before they fall in love."


    "So ye zhiqiao, gu mohan is coming to confess."


    Another smirking face. Ye zhiqiao was ready to continue looking down with interest, but the curtain in front of her suddenly closed. The next second, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and the whole body was covered with bright breath.


    Ye zhiqiao covered her mouth and let out a low cry. Her face was blank, and a gentle male voice appeared behind her.


    "Ye zhiqiao, turn around. I want to confess." !!!


    She didn''t know when he appeared behind her. Maybe she was too focused to even hear the door open!


    But at this moment, ye zhiqiao did not know how to react. The successive surprises made her brain go blank. She could not even control her expression and could only mechanically follow the man''s instructions.


    Gu mohan, who was waiting nervously, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her expression. At the same time, he was encouraged and found confidence.


    He held the flowers in one hand and put the other behind his back. In order to look ye zhiqiao in the eye, he lowered his head slightly. Under the overhead chandelier, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled like a prince.


    Ye zhiqiao had to admit that at that moment, her heart beat faster uncontrollably.


    She thought her cheeks must be very red now, but when she mustered up the courage to look at gu mohan, she almost burst out laughing.


    Gu mohan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what she was laughing at. He subconsciously touched his burning cheek, then realized that this little action might seem childish to him, and he was suddenly at a loss.


    Little treasure, who was waiting to secretly watch the progress, saw that the momentum was not right. He quickly ran to gu mohan and poked his arm, squeezing his eyes at him.


    After little treasure reminded him of what he should do next, gu mohan nodded at little treasure. After she ran away, he cleared his throat and straightened his back.


    "Ye zhiqiao..." He took a deep breath, clenched his hand behind his back into a fist and said slowly and firmly, "I am very serious now. I am very serious about confessing to you."


    "Although my eq is not very high, and I haven''t found a definite reason for your anger this time, I''m deeply touched by what you said today. You said that we never had a definite relationship. You''re not my girlfriend yet."


    Gu mohan frowned slightly and his expression gradually became serious, "I didn''t fall in love. I thought that as long as the two of us got along well, we would naturally get together. It was my fault for neglecting your feelings in the process."


    "Also, what I said at the restaurant at noon was just angry words. You and little treasure are the most important people in my life. I can''t lose any of them, you..."


    Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and waved for little treasure. He picked up little treasure with one hand and smiled at ye zhiqiao, saying, "He is married in a wedding ceremony. I am confessing to a woman. Are you willing to promise me to be my girlfriend?"


    This confession had already moved ye zhiqiao''s heart. She was surprised and moved. Suddenly, she felt embarrassed and deliberately said, "People give me rings when they confess to me. Do you want to send me off with these flowers?"


    She had thought that gu mohan would be upset by this. She was about to say something else to ease her embarrassment when she saw gu mohan raise his right hand, which had been hiding behind his back, and open it.


    A delicate diamond ring sparkled in the palm of his hand.


    "It''s already prepared, and it''s bigger than the'' others''." Gu mohan smiled smugly and promised, "Take this with you first. When you get married, I''ll give you something bigger!"


    This time, ye zhiqiao was completely speechless. She only stared at the man and the child opposite her with her misty eyes.


    Gu mohan walked over and took her hand and led her into the bedroom.


    The big bed and the floor were piled with all kinds of snacks and toys, and on the table was a 12-inch double layer cake.


    Little treasure was also aware of gu mohan''s plan at the moment, and he could not help but exclaim when he saw the room full of toys and snacks.


    These are all things that little treasure likes.


    Ye zhiqiao bent her eyes and turned to look at gu mohan. She thought to herself, when she confessed, she did not forget to take care of little treasure.


    Gu mohan, in fact, is still very good, right?

 Chapter 235 Let Ye Zhiqiao Block the Gun

    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao finally broke the knot in their hearts and ended the cold war, but the two of them had been reconciled for less than 12 hours. The next morning, gu mohan was urgently called back to the company by his father.


    Gu mohan''s family had fallen out not long ago. If his father had asked him to go home, he probably wouldn''t have given in to any pretentious reason, but if it was a company matter, he wouldn''t have been able to do as he pleased.


    When he arrived at the company, his father had been sitting in his office waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him appear, he did not say anything. He pressed him on the chair and turned on the computer for him to see.


    Gu mohan looked at his angry father doubtfully and clicked on the hot news of the day.


    Father gu was so angry that he didn''t have to guess that he must have been on the news again. Sure enough, his name was on the top of the list, followed by ye zhiqiao and even little treasure.


    The general content of the news said that he and ye zhiqiao had a child, and the story about them having a child was also speculated to be adapted into various versions.


    For example: according to the child''s age, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had a love history at least four or five years ago, but the two had been hiding it for several years. During this time, ye zhiqiao had lived abroad for a period of time because of a bad relationship? Or was it to cover their eyes?


    Another example: according to insiders, ye zhiqiao had a childhood sweetheart who seemed to have been in a relationship with her boyfriend for a few months after she became pregnant, so there was only one possibility. When ye zhiqiao cheated on gu mohan and gave birth to a child, her boyfriend found out and had no choice but to go abroad.


    What''s more, gu mohan fell in love with ye zhiqiao, who had a boyfriend a few years ago. Ye zhiqiao abandoned her former lover in front of power and money. She not only gave birth to gu Mohan''s children, but also went abroad to develop for him. She became an internationally renowned designer, "Mengxing." Only then did she return to the country to help gu Mohan in his career.


    ...


    Gu mohan frowned and dropped the mouse. He didn''t even need to look at the rest to know it wouldn''t be good!


    "Finished?" Before he could get used to the shock, his father had already begun to ask in a deep voice, "How are you feeling? Is this the benefit that the woman you''re going to marry home can bring to the gu family?"


    "They made all this up. Can''t you tell?" Gu mohan raised his head and asked.


    Father gu snorted coldly and asked, "I don''t see what can happen. What''s important is what outsiders think, what do our gu clients think?!"


    He walked behind the desk, pointed at the computer screen and asked in a loud voice, "Look... Look at these comments under the news. How badly did they say you, gu mohan? Do you think you can just ignore it? You represent the entire gu family! These negative public opinions were not handled well, and the gu family was the one who was finally affected!!"


    Gu mohan suddenly stood up and walked to the window, looking out the window to try to calm down. In the face of these sudden news, he also needed time to think about the solution, rather than blindly bear the blame from his relatives.


    Of course, he knew the threat of negative news to the gu family. He was more anxious than anyone when he fell into this situation without any preparation!


    "Dad..." He exhaled and said, "You go home and rest first. I''ll find a way to deal with it."


    Father gu slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Of course we have to deal with it! But do you know how to deal with it?"


    "I said leave it to me." Gu mohan gradually lost his patience.


    "I only did this because I gave the gu family to you!" Father gu walked quickly to his side. He looked at him and said," since the last time you went quietly to the neighboring city to look for that woman, which caused the company to suffer a great loss, I knew that your current qualifications are simply not enough to lead such a powerful enterprise as gu''s! Do whatever you want!! What else do you know?!"


    Gu mohan turned around with a frown on his face and asked calmly, "What do you want? Kick me out of the gu family and find someone else?! Who can manage a company without making any mistakes? What can these groundless rumors prove?"


    "I don''t care!" Father gu waved his hand and sternly ordered, "In short, this time, all your actions must follow my orders!"


    According to his instructions?


    Gu mohan asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"


    "Launch an emergency public relations campaign to intercept and clean up the negative news. At the same time, you will personally hold a press conference to make these things..." Father gu glanced at him and continued, "Push all these things onto ye zhiqiao."


    "What?!"


    Gu mohan agreed with what father gu said earlier, but it was absolutely impossible to push the matter onto ye zhiqiao!


    Gu mohan said resolutely, "One person does one thing and one person takes the responsibility. Neither my company nor I will be so despicable as to let a woman block a gun!"


    "You!!" Father gu glared at him angrily and shouted, "Wasn''t that child born by ye zhiqiao? As the mother of her child, why can''t she admit this?!"


    "She still doesn''t know that little treasure is her child..."


    "Then take this opportunity to tell her! Why should a woman like her abandon a child so cruelly? She wants you to support her for so many years, and she wants to ruin her career for this child!"


    Father gu raised his trembling fingers in anger and pointed to the clock on the wall, "It''s eight o'' clock in the morning. I''ll give you half a day. If you don''t do as I say before twelve o'' clock in the afternoon, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance!"


    Gu mohan stared at him closely, his dark eyes filled with anger, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"


    Father gu looked at him fiercely and said sternly, "If you can''t do it, I''ll have to do it for you! But when I open my mouth, I won''t say anything worse!"


    Gu mohan closed his eyes, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Do you think it''s useful to threaten me? No one can touch a hair of the person I want to protect! I said I would solve this problem, you better not interfere!!"


    "Gu mohan..."


    "Enough!" Gu mohan roared, then pointed to the door and said, "Please go back! I know what to do!!"


    With a sullen face, father gu nodded hatefully and said, "Okay! Okay! I''ll just wait and see how you know!!"


    After saying that, father gu slammed the door and left.


    Gu mohan leaned over his desk and calmed down for a while, then called his assistant on the inside line, "Get ready. In two hours, there will be a press conference."

 Chapter 236 To Add Insult to Injury

    Two hours later, 10: 00 am sharp.


    Since the press conference was held in an emergency, gu mohan thought that not many media outlets had received the notice and were able to arrive on time, but when he stepped into the venue, he was immediately shocked by the hot behavior on the scene.


    The assistant had already motioned for the reporters to be quiet on the stage. His footsteps only paused for a moment, then he immediately regained his composure and walked straight through the venue to the stage.


    After he took his seat, there was no sound on the scene, and everyone held their breath waiting for his next speech.


    In other words, from the moment he received the news that the president of the gu group was holding a press conference, the media was already in a hurry. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s news was suddenly published online in the early hours of the morning, then leapt to the first news click of the day at an astonishing speed, and the total number of participants surpassed the highest number this month by several times.


    In other words, no matter what news gu mohan was about to announce at this time, as long as he said something and put it back on the report, there would be a series of explosive reactions!


    Gu mohan adjusted the position of the microphone on the table, glanced at the "Covetous" reporters under the stage, and said, "First of all, thank you very much for coming to the gu press conference. The press conference was held in a hurry, so please forgive me for not being there."


    After a few simple polite words, he went straight to business, "I''m sure all the media friends can guess the reason why gu''s press conference was held. I won''t keep it in suspense. That''s right. Next, I want to explain the sudden news this morning."


    "President gu described this news as''sudden'', so does that mean that you will deny some of the facts in the news?" A reporter at the bottom asked.


    Gu mohan''s face darkened and he said slowly, "This press conference will not accept any questions. By the time the announcement is made, my staff should have already attached a statement, right?"


    "Uh..." The reporter choked on him and lowered his head.


    Gu mohan knew that many people had the same doubts as this reporter. In the eyes of most people, when it comes to gossip, especially when it''s still so influential, the first reaction of celebrities like them is to deny it as much as possible and get rid of their relationship. With their abilities, it was not difficult to suppress a piece of news, but those who were hurt and wronged behind it could only suffer dumb losses.


    Everyone has compassion and justice, which is understandable, but gu Mohan can''t let these things become a tool to confuse the public''s attention. What he has to do is to ensure that ye zhiqiao''s safety, the most likely to tell the truth.


    Even if the truth was true, it would cause him more trouble.


    "First of all, the child mentioned in the news many times. She is indeed my daughter, but she is only five years old this year. She is at an age of ignorance. I hope that everyone will leave room for the child to grow up healthily no matter what. Thank you."


    "Is it really your child? Who was the child''s mother? Ye zhiqiao or..." Another reporter couldn''t help asking.


    Gu mohan glanced at the man and said in a deep voice, "I will explain these questions later. If you don''t have patience, you can leave early."


    Once again, he warned the reporters present to keep quiet. No one wanted to be like the two people just now and give their descendants a "Lesson from the past."


    Gu mohan then continued, "In order to protect the child''s privacy, I will not explain my daughter''s situation in detail here, but I can tell you that her mother is not ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao is my current lover. Our relationship is very good, and at the same time, she is especially kind to my daughter, so those guesses without proof, I hope to stop here and thank you again."


    After finishing his prepared speech, gu mohan stood up swiftly and left the venue through the side door, ignoring the uproar behind him.


    However, just a few minutes later, there was news about him, and he was once again on the top of the hot news list.


    He didn''t know about this from ye zhiqiao until he returned home.


    This press conference, from his point of view, was half a success, but from the company''s point of view, it was a complete failure.


    He had two purposes, one was to protect ye zhiqiao from public opinion, and the other was to stop outsiders from making wild guesses about the company.


    According to his assumption, although admitting that he had an illegitimate child might have a bad impact on his reputation, the outside world has always been very understanding of the situation. Pregnancy before marriage, illegitimate children, and marriage after marriage are not things that people despise. It is not surprising that a successful person like him happens.


    But what he did not expect was that this time, the public would not buy his account.


    A few mainstream media outlets and a website with a huge fan base on the internet were surprisingly on the same side, accusing him of irresponsibility, and adjectives such as "Playboy" and "Scumbag" flooded the sky. Ye zhiqiao''s responsibility for being collected and scolded by netizens was now pushed to him, saying that he deliberately used ye zhiqiao to make ye zhiqiao fall into an awkward situation.


    Not only that, the shares of the gu group also dropped a few points during this period, and there was a continuing downward trend, even several branches were affected by large or small waves.


    Just as he was in a hurry, father gu called again.


    He didn''t have to think about his father''s current attitude, but there was no way to escape, so he had to bite the bullet.


    "Is this the result you want to show me?!" Sure enough, master gu was calling to make an accusation.


    Gu mohan paused and said, "Dad, give me some more time. I..."


    "You don''t have time!!" Father gu angrily questioned, "You want time, you ask those media and opponents will give time to gu shi?!! It''s not that I haven''t given you a chance, but your grades are really disappointing! Now, you immediately sever all ties with ye zhiqiao and come home immediately. I will contact several influential media and reopen the press conference to change the direction of public opinion in one fell swoop!"


    Gu mohan refused without even thinking, "It''s impossible. Ye zhiqiao is my woman, and xiao bao is my child. It''s my responsibility to protect them."


    "What about gu? Are you going to bury the gu family for a woman?! You... Cough... Cough..." Father gu coughed violently in anger.


    "Dad, I promise you that I will take care of the company''s affairs. Rest well and don''t rush."


    After that, gu mohan hung up on himself.

 Chapter 237 Two Concepts

    Ye zhi coincidentally waited outside the study for a long time until gu mohan hung up the phone before knocking on the door and walking in. She didn''t mean to eavesdrop, but when she brought the coffee up, she heard gu mohan''s phone call. The gu family was in danger. She didn''t want to disturb gu mohan at this time and waited outside the door.


    From the tone of gu Mohan''s voice, the person opposite him should be his father. His father wanted to use her to help gu resolve the crisis. Ye zhiqiao also understood.


    "You''re here? Have you eaten yet?" Seeing her come in, gu mohan immediately put on a relaxed look.


    Ye zhiqiao put the coffee by his hand and looked at him deeply, "Don''t hide it from me. I know the situation of the company. Just now... You called... I heard it too. I''m sorry."


    Hearing what she said, gu mohan was even more apologetic than she was. He quickly explained, "Don''t misunderstand me. My father was only in a hurry for the company to make such a proposal. I have already rejected him. I will never do anything that would hurt you!"


    "No..." Ye zhiqiao shook her head and said, "That''s not what I meant. In fact, I think there''s nothing wrong with describing little treasure as my daughter. I already think of her as my own child. If this can solve the problem that gu shi is facing, then..."


    "No!" Gu mohan refused without even thinking, "Absolutely not. Don''t think about it anymore. I won''t agree."


    Ye zhiqiao was puzzled and asked, "Why? I''m not the president of the gu family. I''m just a designer. Having kids doesn''t affect my life at all. On the contrary, if it happens to you, it might put the gu family in a difficult position. There are so many employees of the gu family that they might even suffer losses."


    She sighed, walked up to gu mohan and continued to patiently advise, "Little treasure will become my child sooner or later, won''t he? What does it matter if it''s earlier or later?"


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and shook his head.


    He took ye zhiqiao''s hand and said, "That''s different. You were married by me on the open, and now you come out to block the gun for the gu family, there are two different concepts. I know you want to help me, but if I agree with you, I won''t be a man."


    "Gu mohan..." Ye zhiqiao understood his thoughts, but she still wanted to persuade him.


    Gu mohan gave her a peck on the lips and stopped her from speaking, "All right, leave this to me. I''ll take care of it. As for you, just stay at home and play with little treasure. Don''t worry about anything else."


    Ye zhiqiao had no temper at all because of his appearance, so she nodded helplessly. Seeing that he was going out in his coat, she asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Looking for Qin Baiye." Gu mohan grinned at her, then turned to open the door and walked out.


    Outside the door, the smile on gu mohan''s face immediately disappeared. He took out his cell phone and called Qin Baiye gloomily. He asked him to meet him at the company and then drove off.


    When she arrived at the office, Qin Baiye had been sitting on the sofa waiting for half a day.


    "There''s a traffic jam. I''m late." Gu mohan explained casually.


    Qin Baiye would not blame him, jokingly said: "Is it unlucky for people to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and meet a red light on the road?"


    Gu mohan glanced at him, took a deep breath, leaned back on the sofa and said, "When is it time to ask a dog-headed military adviser like you to help me think of a way? Are you still making fun of me?"


    Of course, Qin Baiye knew the purpose of gu mohan calling him here. Besides his own company and jian mengqi''s studio, he was most concerned about gu shi. Who made him get along well with gu mohan? However, because he was close to gu mohan and knew his temper, he did not dare to tell gu mohan what he thought.


    "Then if I tell you, don''t get angry." After hesitating for a while, Qin Baiye said in a negotiating tone.


    Gu mohan waved his hand, "Tell me. You know I must be angry anyway."


    "...


    Qin Baiye knew gu mohan so well that he was not joking. However, in order to solve gu''s urgent situation, he couldn''t care less. He honestly said, Thinking of little treasure as her own child and explaining to the outside world that this child has nothing to do with you should be the only effective way."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup on the table in front of gu mohan had already been swept to the ground, and then there was a crisp thud.


    Qin Baiye had long guessed that this would be the result. He knew exactly what position ye zhiqiao had in gu mohan''s heart. Gu mohan would never agree to let ye zhiqiao take the blame, but he really couldn''t think of any other way.


    Gu mohan returned to the back of his chair and closed his eyes.


    He knew he shouldn''t be angry with Qin Baiye, but in half a day, it was first gu father, then ye zhiqiao, and now Qin Baiye. The people he trusted the most were trying to persuade him to let his favorite woman out to block the gun for him. How could he hold back his anger? The situation in gu''s family had not been resolved, and the growing ferment of the situation had already caused him to worry. Hearing this kind of contrary statement time and time again was undoubtedly worse. He had to force himself to calm down and empty his head.


    There was a long silence in the office. Gu mohan and Qin Baiye sat side by side. Although there was no communication, neither of them felt uncomfortable because of the scene. They had known each other for more than 20 years.


    At this moment, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in, reporting that president shen of Shen shi group had come.


    Gu mohan sat up and met Qin Baiye''s gaze. Both of them were wondering what shen Qingyuan was doing at this time.


    "Let him in." Gu mohan said to his secretary.


    In less than two minutes, the nervous shen Qingyuan strode in. He nodded at Qin Baiye, who was standing by the side, then came to gu mohan, who was about to get up, and said with a heavy heart, "President gu, I''m sorry that shen came a little late. I didn''t hear about your company''s predicament until half an hour ago. After knowing the general situation, I rushed over immediately. See if you need any help. Shen will do his best."


    "Thank you, president shen." Gu mohan pretended to thank him, but the corner of his eye glanced at Qin Baiye.

 Chapter 238 Fake Mother

    The two of them looked at each other for a moment and knew what it meant.


    This shen Qingyuan, the most unpopular is the business world''s hypocrisy and grievances, what do you say you know half an hour ago? Hmph! In the early hours of the morning, there was a heated rumor about the president of the gu family. He was nearly ten hours late to find out. If that was the case, he wouldn''t have to sit in the first chair of the Shen shi!


    However, since he liked this kind of play, gu Mohan would play along with him. Although he was annoyed, he would sometimes bring some useful information, just like the last time there was something about gu chengyan.


    "It''s an honor for president shen to help the gu family in this way." Gu mohan made a "Please" gesture and said, "Please sit down first."


    Shen Qingyuan agreed, sat down on the sofa, took a sip of the tea that the secretary had just sent over, and then said, "Mr. Gu, don''t be polite to me. We don''t have to be like this for a long time."


    Gu mohan laughed dryly, and Qin Baiye, who was sitting opposite him, raised his eyebrows meaningfully.


    Shen Qingyuan continued, "Oh, right, you''re too busy talking about me. I wonder how Mr. Gu''s business is going. I heard that the news was so fierce that even the gu family was affected."


    "President shen is always so well-informed." Gu mohan spread out his hands and said truthfully, "Indeed, gu''s stock has fallen a lot, and the outside world''s voice is not good. I called president qin here to discuss countermeasures."


    "Oh-" shen Qingyuan looked in qin baiye''s direction, nodded at him, and then asked, "How''s the discussion going?"


    Qin Baiye tugged at the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "There''s no result. Or... What does shen have in mind?"


    From shen Qingyuan''s earlier words, Qin Baiye had already recognized his success and believed that gu mohan had also recognized it. However, shen Qingyuan had always shown a strong desire to please gu Mohan and the gu family. The more this happened, the less gu mohan could show his dependence on shen Qingyuan. Qin Baiye and shen Qingyuan were not so involved, so it was more appropriate for him to ask.


    Shen Qingyuan knew the relationship between the two, so naturally he could see their tricks, so he had to go downhill and said, "I don''t think so, but as far as the news is concerned, I thought about it all the way here. Not to mention, there are really two ways."


    "Oh? You deserve to be president shen." Gu mohan exclaimed.


    Shen Qingyuan waved his hand and said modestly, "President gu, please don''t say that. A young talent like you and president qin is the real future. I''m just a little older, and the onlookers can see it clearly."


    Gu mohan raised his eyelids, refusing to comment.


    Shen Qingyuan laughed dryly and spoke of his own thoughts, "What got president gu involved in the lawsuit was ultimately a matter of a child. In fact, it doesn''t matter who the child is now. What the reporters and netizens want is just an explanation."


    As long as it was a reasonable explanation, whether it was true or not, they would treat it as the truth.


    Gu mohan understood this point and asked, "Did president shen come up with an explanation for me?"


    "Hahaha..." Shen Qingyuan laughed, "It''s easy to explain, and what I''m going to say next is to kill two birds with one stone."


    "I would like to hear about it."


    Shen Qingyuan raised his index finger to scratch the bridge of his nose, coughed and said, "Since president gu has already admitted to the media that the child is yours, now all he has to do is find a mother for the child and round up the gossip. But one more thing, you have to make sure that the mother of the child is a person with enough attention to distract the public from ye zhiqiao."


    Shen Qingyuan had a point. Only by shifting the public''s attention to gu mohan and ye zhiqiao to another hot spot could the current predicament be solved. However, gu mohan would not agree with this idea. Xiao bao was the child of him and ye zhiqiao. The three of them would live together in the future. Finding a fake mother for xiao bao now would be a bigger problem in the future.


    "I wonder who president shen recommended...?" Before gu Mohan could refuse, Qin Baiye asked with interest.


    Gu mohan also looked at shen Qingyuan curiously. He did not know what the resourceful president shen would say.


    "Shen monong."


    "Shen molong?!" The moment he heard the name, gu mohan''s face immediately darkened. He did not expect that shen Qingyuan would do anything to get involved with him in order to get involved with the gu family. He could even disregard his daughter''s innocence.


    He snapped back, "It''s impossible. Even if we really want to find a fake mother for little treasure, it won''t be shen monong. And my child definitely doesn''t need a fake mother!"


    "Uh..."


    Shen Qingyuan held the teacup more awkwardly. He was not surprised by gu mohan''s refusal. He had expected gu mohan to refuse long before he opened his mouth.


    In fact, he did not want his favorite daughter to lose her innocence and raise a child for someone else, but if it really succeeded, then he and shen monong would not have to live the rest of their lives in fear that his wife and family would be in power alone. In the long run, it would not be a bad thing.


    Moreover, if he and shen mo nong were willing to stand up and help at this time, gu mo han would be more or less moved. Perhaps he would change his mind about shen mo nong and even be willing to marry him.


    Alas, from gu Mohan''s current attitude, it seems useless to think about this. Let it go.


    Shen Qingyuan sighed secretly and continued, "Don''t worry, president gu. You are a gentleman. You don''t want to implicate mo nong. I understand. Let''s change the way. Why get angry?"


    Another way?


    Gu mohan had a busy day, his mind in a mess, and his mind was not as clear as usual. After shen Qingyuan reminded him, he remembered that shen Qingyuan seemed to have thought of two ways. Shen mohan couldn''t be a fake mother for little treasure, and there was another one.


    Noticing his gaze, Qin Baiye came out at the right time to relieve himself, "This day has been an endless day of bad things, but it has exhausted president gu. He just fired at me. Please don''t mind, president shen. Please tell us the second method. We are all ears."


    He gave the steps, and shen Qingyuan naturally followed him down. After saying two "No problem," he said, "My second way is to temporarily put the child under the name of master gu''s friend, saying that the child is master gu''s friend, and that miss gu and master ye are only the child''s godfather and godmother, taking care of it on behalf of him."

 Chapter 239 Another Way

    After shen Qingyuan''s words, gu mohan and Qin Baiye both fell into deep thought.


    This method seems really good.


    First of all, the separation of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao from the incident not only protected the reputation of gu shi and gu mohan, the president, but also prevented ye zhiqiao from being disturbed. Moreover, it was different to say that gu Mohan and ye zhiqiao were little treasure''s godfather and godmother than to find a fake mother for little treasure, because even after that, gu mohan could still be with ye zhiqiao, and little treasure could still be taken care of by both of them, and it would not affect the lives of several people.


    But there are still two problems to be solved. The first is to let gu mohan''s friend be xiao bao''s nominal father? Of course, Qin Baiye and jian mengqi are the best candidates for both status and affection, but can they agree? Second, little treasure has little contact with the internet and the outside world, but ye zhiqiao is different, she will definitely know about this matter, and perhaps, when making the explanation, she will need to appear, can she agree?


    Just as gu mohan hesitated, Qin Baiye had already made a decision.


    "Come on, Mohan. President shen has a great idea. Let me be the nominal father of little treasure."


    Gu mohan looked up at him, half grateful and half apologetic, but still hesitated, "There will be more people involved if we do this, I..."


    "What people are involved?" Qin Baiye asked and answered, "Isn''t that me and mengqi? Don''t worry. I''ll call her right now and ask her for advice."


    "Eh..."


    Before gu mohan could stop him, Qin Baiye''s phone had already been dialed.


    Jian mengqi picked it up very quickly. She must have heard about the gu family. She came up and asked, "Are you at gu mohan''s place? He must have had a mental breakdown by now. Why don''t you call me at this time and ask me for help?"


    Your mind is turning upside down! Qin Baiye muttered in his heart, then changed to a serious tone and said, "Yes, I''m at the gu family. President shen is here too."


    "President shen? Which president shen? Shen Qingyuan?" Jian mengqi asked after she realized it.


    Qin Baiye no longer wanted to comment on her iq and said directly, "President shen has a good idea for mohan, but he needs our help."


    "Us?" Jian mengqi asked in a daze, "Who are we?"


    "Huh-" Qin Baiye took a deep breath, gritting his teeth and saying, "I- and- you."


    "Oh, oh." Jian mengqi promised twice in a row.


    Qin Baiye then continued, "The way is to find a pair of nominal parents for little treasure, telling the outside world that gu Mohan and ye zhiqiao are just little treasure''s godfather and godmother, and this pair of nominal parents, the most suitable candidate is..."


    "You and me, of course!" Jian mengqi answered.


    Qin Baiye praised, "You''re not stupid."


    Jian mengqi angrily "Cut," then asked: "Then gu Mohan should have agreed to this matter, right? Where''s ye zhiqiao?"


    After her question, Qin Baiye finally realized what gu mohan was hesitating about earlier. It turned out that he was afraid that jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao would disagree.


    His eyes swept over gu mohan and shen Qingyuan before he said, "Mohan is waiting to see the attitude of you and ye zhiqiao. Otherwise, can you ask ye zhiqiao?"


    "Sure." Jian mengqi agreed very happily. Before she closed the line, she mumbled, "Gu Mohan has a conscience."


    Qin Baiye put down his phone and said to gu mohan, "She went to ask ye zhiqiao''s opinion. Let''s wait."


    Gu mohan nodded clearly.


    So the three of them chatted and waited for an answer. Ten minutes later, jian mengqi called back.


    "Well, Zhiqiao agreed and asked me to thank you for her help." Said jian mengqi over the phone.


    Ye zhiqiao was always considerate. Qin Baiye said "Yes" and then asked, "Then how did you answer her?"


    I said she was sick! What''s the relationship between us? Thank you? Vulgar! What can''t be solved with a meal?"


    Qin Baiye seemed to be able to see jian mengqi giggling through her phone, so she couldn''t help but laugh and said, "Then you can wait for your food. I''ll hang up first. There''s something else here."


    Hanging up the phone, before Qin Baiye could speak, the other two had already gotten an answer.


    Shen Qingyuan enviously patted gu mohan on the shoulder and said, "It''s such a blessing to have such a good friend."


    Gu mohan nodded to Qin Baiye with a smile. Since jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao had no objections, he no longer hesitated.


    "President shen has helped me a lot today. Not only me, but also the gu family." Gu mohan turned to shen Qingyuan and said.


    The company came up with a solution, and it was time to see what "Reward" the person who came up with the idea wanted.


    Gu mohan sipped his tea and asked, "I wonder if president shen has any use for the gu family? Whether it''s cooperation or investment, you just have to ask."


    I thought that shen Qingyuan would definitely take this opportunity to open his mouth and hit gu shi hard. I didn''t expect him to wave his hand lightly and say angrily, "What did president gu say? I treat president gu as a friend. It''s difficult for a friend. Isn''t it reasonable for me to help? If you give me any benefits, you''ll be slapping me in the face."


    "Hehe..." Gu mo han chuckled and said, "It takes a while for friendship to last. President shen still gives me a chance. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."


    At this point, shen Qingyuan didn''t have to refuse, but he said, "It''s not a big deal. Don''t be so serious, master gu. We''ll talk about it when it''s done."


    Gu mohan stared at his face for a long time and realized that his words seemed to come from his heart. He could not help but think: what tricks does this old fox play? He would not be unclear how much damage he could save for the gu family, but he refused to make a request while the iron was hot, which was really puzzling.


    Since he couldn''t figure out why, he might as well sit still and wait for what he wanted to do. The fox would always show its tail anyway.


    Thinking of this, gu mohan raised his teacup and said to shen Qingyuan, "Since president shen is such a loyal man, I will drink tea instead of wine. Let me propose a toast to you. In the future, when it is convenient for you, I will be the host. Please do me a favor."


    "Sure, sure." Shen Qingyuan promised repeatedly and raised his head to drink all the tea in his cup.

 Chapter 240 Defeated Like This?

    The next morning, the gu family held another press conference. This time, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan attended together.


    According to the original plan, they declared that little treasure was the child of their friend Qin Baiye, and they were only the child''s godfather and godmother.


    However, there were skeptical reporters at the scene who didn''t trust their claims and asked, "Since that''s the case, why didn''t Mr. Gu directly explain the truth at yesterday''s press conference and instead admit that the child is his own and has nothing to do with miss ye?"


    In fact, there are a lot of people who have doubts about this. When they saw someone leading the way, they began to ask questions one after another.


    Ye zhiqiao still had a faint smile on her face and explained, "First of all, the four of us have a good relationship. Mohan didn''t expect a small matter to develop to such a serious degree. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose a simpler method. At the same time, he also wanted to protect me and separate me from the incident."


    Although this explanation seemed reasonable, it did not satisfy the appetite of the reporters. They continued to ask gu mohan for a clear explanation.


    "Just think of an excuse and start the press conference. Are you fooling around with our reporters?!" This was shouted by an agitated reporter at the scene.


    Gu mohan had no intention of being a "Shrinking turtle," but felt that if a woman spoke about it, it would be more believable. However, since someone wanted to hear from him, there was nothing he could not do about it.


    He raised his hand to signal the silence below the stage, and then said slowly in the silence, "Here, I apologize to the media and the public for yesterday''s remarks. I didn''t think carefully. It was my mistake."


    As he said this, he turned to look at ye zhiqiao and continued, "What Zhiqiao said just now is the truth of the matter. As for her explanation for me, it basically matches my idea. Qin Baiye and I have been good friends for many years. We had a tacit agreement to be the godfather of each other''s children and treat each other''s children like their own. So when I saw the news, I didn''t think too much and naturally said that."


    Another reporter asked, "What do you think of Mr. Qin baiye''s illegitimate child?"


    Gu mohan had long known that such a problem would arise. One of the reasons why gu mohan hesitated at first was that he was afraid that placing the child under Qin Baiye''s name would affect Qin Baiye''s reputation.


    But now that it was done, gu mohan could only try to make things clear, "My opinion is... If I could suddenly have a five-year-old child like him, then my parents would be very happy."


    "Ah?!"


    The unexpected answer left a group of reporters dumbfounded.


    Gu mohan chuckled and continued, "People like us look respectable and wealthy. In fact, we don''t even have enough time to date. Our daily routine is work. To exaggerate, it takes days to coax our girlfriends."


    Just as he was saying this, he deliberately smiled at ye zhiqiao with an ambiguous smile. As expected, he welcomed the latter''s unfriendly white eyes.


    Their interaction was naturally seen by others and captured by the cameras.


    "So, for us now, getting married and having children is the most important thing. Qin Baiye has a good life and has such a lovely daughter. I envy him too much!" Gu mohan raised his eyebrows helplessly, "And I have to wait for when miss ye will give herself up to marry."


    With these words, the reporters laughed back and forth, and even the gu staff couldn''t stop snickering. The atmosphere at the scene also changed from tense to happy.


    After the press conference ended successfully, the reaction of the media and netizens was also overjoyed. Not only did they completely believe their claims, but many enthusiastic netizens "Urged marriage" in the comment area to wish gu mohan and ye zhiqiao an early baby of their own.


    Although they were lying, gu Mohan and the others were satisfied with the result. After all, getting information from the media was often the side of things. They had given perfect explanations and gimmicks. As for the truth of things, it was their privacy to say or not.


    In short, the news storm that had been spreading for two days, which started from nowhere, finally subsided.


    In the following period of time, perhaps because of the interview after the new product launch of jian mengqi''s studio, or perhaps because of this gu''s press conference, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s love affair was so hot that it was a blessing in disguise. They participated in many business activities and cocktail parties, and almost every time became the focus on the spot.


    Today, a publicity event held by a well-known company in the city was broadcast on tv. When the car that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were in arrived at the scene, the media swarmed around.


    Yi chen leaned back on the sofa and stared at the screen without blinking. When he saw gu mohan and ye zhiqiao smiling at the camera and occasionally whispering together, he felt his eyes dart away.


    There were a lot of empty bottles on the low table in front of the sofa. He rummaged through them and found an unopened can of beer. He pulled the zipper open, raised his neck and poured it into his mouth.


    At this point in time, he would hate himself for drinking too much in the past. He had trained himself to be a good drinker and it was always difficult to get drunk. But every time he saw the scene of ye zhiqiao and gu mohan going out together, apart from numbing himself with alcohol, he really couldn''t find any other way to soothe his heartbroken and lonely heart.


    Therefore, he couldn''t help but go to see the other people''s feelings of love, and looked at the sad ones who wanted to drown their sorrows with alcohol. The cycle began again and again, and the vicious cycle, yi chen had been cooped up at home depressed for a long time.


    "Ding-dong - ding-dong -"


    The doorbell rang suddenly, and yi chen was stunned for a moment. Since he no longer accepted the invitations of his "Friends," there were few visitors to his home.


    "Who is it?!"


    At first, he asked in a loud and impatient voice. Seeing that the other party did not agree to ring the doorbell persistently, he had no choice but to curse and shuffle towards the door with his slippers.


    Without the habit of looking at the mirror, he opened the door directly and saw a patient man outside. He curled his lips and turned to walk back.


    Yi shaozhi followed him in and closed the door, "I heard you haven''t been to work these days?"


    Yi chen vaguely agreed and returned to the sofa.


    Yi shaozhi glanced at the tv and the "Tragedy" in the living room, then knew what had happened. He sneered and asked, "A gu mohan has defeated you like this?"

 Chapter 241 To Unite Against Gu Mohan

    Yi chen realized what he meant and immediately picked up the remote control to turn off the tv. After ye zhiqiao''s figure disappeared, he frowned and said, "Mind your own business."


    "Is the company a busybody? Or is it your business?" Yi shaozhi found a clean place to sit down and ask.


    "If I don''t go to work, I will deduct my salary according to the system. I can either get fired!" Yi chen said indifferently, "As for me, you don''t have to worry about it. Didn''t I often disappear for ten days and half a month before?"


    Yi shaozhi snorted, then said slowly, "You weren''t like this before."


    "You!"


    "Okay, okay, don''t get excited." Yi shaozhi waved his hand, indicating that yi chen, who had suddenly straightened up, should sit down and comfort him, "If you don''t like it, I can stop talking. I just don''t think the yi family should be humiliated like this."


    Yi chen was puzzled, "What do you mean?"


    Yi shaozhi raised an eyebrow and explained to him, "I saw the interview after the press conference. Ye zhiqiao rejected you. It was someone else''s wish. We can''t say anything about it, but gu mohan''s performance at the time was quite like throwing a stone in the hole."


    Seeing that yi chen did not answer, yi shaozhi continued to say, "You are confessing to ye zhiqiao. What does success have to do with gu mohan? Not only this time, he''s been targeting you all the time. Think about it for yourself. When you accompanied ye zhiqiao abroad to relax, did he always go against you?"


    Yi chen licked his lower lip and secretly recalled the times he had spent with gu mohan. Gu mohan was indeed hostile to him, but in contrast, he was also extremely disgusted with gu mohan, so that the two sides were even, and the word "Bullying" seemed to have nothing to do with it.


    "We like the same woman. We don''t like each other. It''s normal for us to fight openly and secretly." Yi chen said.


    Yi shaozhi''s words just now were refuted by him, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he changed the angle.


    "Well, even so, are you willing to hand ye zhiqiao over to someone like him?"


    "Hmm?" Yi chen was confused again, "Gu mohan... He..."


    Although it was a relationship between love and enemy, he admitted gu mohan''s ability. If ye zhiqiao really couldn''t accept him, then handing ye zhiqiao over to gu mohan would be reassuring, but what did yi shaozhi mean by "That kind of person" ?


    Yi shaozhi nodded his phone on the table and asked, "Didn''t you see the fire a few days ago about gu mohan''s child?"


    "I see it."


    "Still!" Yi shaozhi leaned forward excitedly and deliberately added, "Who the hell is that child? Others don''t know, don''t you? He gu Mohan, for his own benefit, did not hesitate to hand over his own daughter to others, but also put his friend Qin Baiye on the cusp of the storm. Such a character, to give ye zhiqiao to him, can you rest assured?"


    Yi chen thought about it and hesitated, "There seems to be no other way to deal with the situation at that time, right?"


    "How could there not be!" Seeing him loosen up, yi shaozhi took advantage of the heat and spoke of his true purpose of this trip, "If he is a man with courage and determination, then he should tell the truth. If he has the real ability, no one can take him away with a piece of gossip. What he did is obviously a cunning little man''s heart. As long as you want, you can beat him back to his original form at any time."


    Yi chen agreed with what he said before, but the last sentence made yi chen a little confused, "Beat him back to his original form? Me?"


    "That''s right, now the storm is over, but there are definitely a lot of people who don''t fully trust his lies. As long as you cooperate with me and take advantage of this opportunity to deal with him, he will be powerless!"


    The more yi shaozhi spoke, the more excited he became. He even turned on the tv again and pointed to ye zhiqiao, who appeared on it, "As long as gu mohan collapses, you will be the one standing next to her in the future. Isn''t that what you dream of? Now you just have to nod your head and it will be done soon."


    Just nod one head and ye zhiqiao will be his? Yi chen couldn''t help but curl his lips just thinking about it.


    But is it possible for such an easy thing to happen?


    He clearly knew that ye zhiqiao liked gu mohan. She had such a steady temper, but on that day, she admitted her relationship with gu mohan in front of many media. The relationship between them was self-evident.


    And she and gu mohan were really happy now. Although he could only see her on the cold screen through tv and the internet, every time she smiled at gu mohan, she was so bright and moving, so heartfelt.


    She was happy now. If he really did what yi shaozhi said, it would only make her sad. He didn''t want to see such a scene.


    Although he used to be stubborn, he never thought of destroying the things he could not get. It was good to look at her beauty from afar.


    "I''m sorry." He rejected yi shao''s advice, "I know what you think, but I can''t agree. You must not do this. Don''t hurt ye zhiqiao."


    "You... How did you..." Yi shaozhi was tongue-tied.


    Looking at yi chen''s previous performance, he thought yi chen would definitely agree, but he didn''t expect to reject it so thoroughly.


    But he still didn''t want to give up. The reason why he came to look for yi chen was because the relationship between yi chen and ye zhiqiao had already been exposed. What yi chen said would be more believable than what he said.


    Since he couldn''t persuade her, he had to find another way.


    Yi shaozhi''s face was cold and he said angrily, "I didn''t expect my brother to be such a wimp!"


    As expected, yi chen immediately frowned and glared at him, his eyes full of threats.


    Yi shaozhi continued, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? You have repeatedly confessed and proposed to someone, but what about them? United gu mohan to embarrass you again and again! Even an ordinary person would probably have fallen out of favor by now, right? But the second young master of your great Yi''s, unexpectedly, endured it as if nothing had happened, and even wished others happiness with his own affections, you..."


    "Enough! Stop it!!" Yi chen roared, grabbed something and threw it at the tv.


    After a muffled sound, spider-web-like cracks slowly appeared on the lcd screen.

 Chapter 242 The Wind and Clouds Rose Again

    Then there was a brief silence.


    Yi shao''s face was cold, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed with joy. He already knew that his brother had a fierce temper and was too impatient to be provoked. With a little provocation, he would immediately take the bait.


    "Hmph -" he snorted softly, "You, you, will always be like a little boy. When you get to my position, you will understand that no woman or love is more important than your family. Only your own family will put themselves in your shoes."


    Yi chen held his head and did not speak.


    Yi shaozhi continued slowly, "Do you know how angry I was when I saw your confession rejected and gu mohan humiliated and warned me? It''s not that ye zhi is clever and ruthless, it''s not that gu mohan is hateful, it''s that she''s mad at you, mad at you for being stupid!"


    Hearing this, yi chen finally turned his head and looked at him faintly.


    Yi shaozhi, who had been in the shopping mall for a long time, was sure that he saw a sign of loosening from yi chen''s expression. He quickly took the opportunity to continue persuading, "The reason why you were hurt is because you are soft-hearted. As long as you cooperate with me, I will naturally teach you how to overcome these methods. By then, even if ye zhiqiao wants to turn around again, you might not like her."


    "Stop talking..."


    "Yichen!"


    "Stop it!!!" Yi chen stood up abruptly, pointed at yi shao and asked, "Don''t you want me to help you harm Mohan? I admit, I was really moved by what you said, but it doesn''t mean I will do it! I may be stupid, but I''m happy, I''m happy!!"


    "Yichen, you..."


    Yi shaozhi still wanted to fight for it. Yi chen had already pulled his clothes up and dragged them to the door.


    Just as he was pushed out of the door, the door was already "Bang!" Shut behind him with a thud.


    When yi shaozhi had been treated like this all these years, both at home and outside, his face immediately darkened. If yi chen doesn''t listen to good words, forget it!! It was not that yi shaozhi couldn''t do it well on his own, but it was just a little troublesome. It took some time and was more efficient than asking for help!!!


    Yi shaozhi immediately returned to the company, found a few confidants, and overnight established a good relationship with several media and website managers to re-direct public opinion and overturn gu mohan''s "Little treasure is Qin Baiye''s child."


    Because he had been in contact with gu mohan, ye zhiqiao, and others, and knew the inside story, the news he released quickly reached the trust of netizens. In a day, the internet was once again surging.


    "Gu mohan is really good at it. He lied to us once, but he cheated us in a series of ways. Do you really think that our netizens are idiots?!"


    "Yes, I was a little skeptical the first time, but seeing that everyone seemed to believe it, I didn''t dare to say anything more. I was afraid of being sprayed with the die-hard powder of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. I didn''t expect that I actually had the ability to peel off calluses like Holmes. (Narcissistic face)"


    "But where did the news come from this time? What if it''s fake? After watching a few videos of them attending the event, I thought they were all fine. (Afraid of being scolded, anonymous)"


    "Why are you anonymous upstairs? Were they acquainted with gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, or were they the sailors they were looking for? Really, this time the news was so clear that even qin baiye and the child saw each other so clearly, how could it be fake? Do you have to come up with a solid hammer like a paternity test to believe it?"


    "I think so too. Gu mohan has lied again and again, probably for the sake of the gu family. These businessmen are not worth believing."


    Ye zhiqiao spent the whole morning watching these comments. She did not expect the storm that had just subsided to sweep back so quickly.


    And this time, it seemed more chaotic than the last two.


    At this time, gu mohan, who had just come back from work, heard the servant say that ye zhiqiao had been staying in the study and seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn''t care to see xiao bao and knocked directly on the door and walked in.


    Ye zhiqiao was really anxious. She didn''t even hear gu Mohan knocking on the door. Yu Guangzhong suddenly appeared and scared her.


    "Are you okay?" Gu mohan walked up to her, patted her on the back and explained, "I knocked on the door for a long time without moving, so I came in by myself."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head, then pointed to the computer and asked, "Have you seen this?"


    How could gu mohan not have looked at it? The stock of the gu family began to show an unstable trend in the morning, almost subconsciously. He felt that something was happening on the internet again. As expected, the department in charge of information security in the company came to him in a short time and reported the online incident through his assistant.


    "I''ve already sent someone to do it. Don''t worry." Gu mohan purposely said so, trying to calm ye zhiqiao''s heart.


    But ye zhiqiao was not comforted by him. Instead, she said, "How can I be at ease? This incident started again, and the impact might be even worse than before. So what if you found out the mastermind behind it? Netizens won''t care about what''s right or wrong between you. They just need to know if you''re telling the truth and if the truth is what they want to hear!"


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was agitated, gu mohan could not continue to perfunctory her, so he said truthfully, "You''re right, it''s a bit troublesome. But it can''t be solved in a hurry... Look, I''ll call Qin Baiye and jian mengqi over now. Let''s discuss it and see if we can come up with any good solutions."


    Now, this is the only way to deal with it. Ye zhiqiao nodded helplessly.


    Qin Baiye was a popular person in the business world, and jian mengqi was a mobile phone user. Naturally, the two of them knew about the internet. Even if gu mohan didn''t say anything, they were going to come over.


    Jian mengqi was even more excited than ye zhiqiao when she was in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she asked loudly, "Qin Baiye, what''s going on between you two? Wasn''t it arranged well before? How come someone took them out in a few days? I knew long ago that the wisdom of netizens gathered together was enough to defeat all impossibilities!"


    Gu mohan looked at the "Female netizen" expressionlessly. He didn''t want to say anything, and Qin Baiye had nothing to say to her.


    Finally, ye zhi coincidentally pulled her to sit down and advised her, "Don''t worry. I was just like that. Mohan advised me for a long time."


    "What''s the use of not rushing? We have to find a way!" Jian mengqi continued to raise her voice.


    "Think with your mouth?" Gu mohan choked her. Although he and jian mengqi had become accustomed to each other, but thinking that jian mengqi and Qin Baiye were completely obligated to help, and was embarrassed to be too harsh to others, he added, "Miss jian seems very smart, please help."

 Chapter 243 Threat and Being Threatened

    If she were to punish evil and speak up for good, she would be able to do it easily. But if she came up with an idea to think of a way, she would be more than willing to do it. After Mohan asked her such a question, she immediately shut her mouth.


    Finally calming her nagging mouth, gu mohan let out a long sigh and turned to Qin Baiye, "This time the news is more dangerous than last time. Maybe even you will be dragged into it. After all, it''s not a glorious thing to help me bluff. Of course, it would be best if you could solve it smoothly. If you see that the momentum is not right, you must withdraw immediately."


    "This is not the time to talk about it. Qin Baiye shook his head and said," I really can''t think of a good idea right now. It seems that you too. But when the boat comes to the bridge, it will be straight. The few of us will work together, and the gu family and the qin family will support us. Will we be threatened because of a few insignificant news reports? "


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyes worriedly and continued, "That''s right, but the power of the internet is already too strong today. I''m afraid I can''t solve this fierce public opinion very well, which will affect both the gu and qin families in the future."


    After she finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Everyone knew that she had a point, but everyone knew that gu mohan had been lying about the news, and now there was a sudden burst of truth. If you want to make up the lie, you have to make up a bigger lie.


    Use a new lie to cover up the old one, and start over and over again. When is the end? And how long will the public and the media trust them?


    The four of them sat in the living room and discussed for a long time, but there was still no result.


    At this time in the Yi''s building, yi shaozhi was in the middle of a meeting to commend the participants for the successful plan to guide public opinion.


    He was standing in front of the oval conference table, giving a cheerful speech. But halfway through, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and ran in in panic.


    The young and beautiful female secretary spent some of her makeup because she was nervous. She hurriedly apologized to yi shaozhi, who had a stiff face, and immediately whispered, "Mr. Yi, the second young master came to the company to talk to you. Now he is being stopped and is making a scene in your office. Go and take a look."


    After hearing this, yi shaozhi''s face darkened instantly. The last time he chased him away, he didn''t even have time to settle the accounts. How dare yi chen come to the yi family to cause trouble?!


    He gave the secretary a few instructions and asked her to take care of the meeting first. Then, he turned around and sped towards the office.


    As soon as he got off the elevator on the floor where his office was located, yi shaozhi heard yi chen shouting loudly.


    "Where''s yi shaozhi?! Ask him to come out and call out your boss!"


    "I have something to ask him. Why are you stopping me? I''m your boss too. How dare you stop me?!"


    "Yi shaozhi! Yi shaozhi!!"


    "Bang!" Yi shaozhi pushed the door open.


    A few of the employees inside saw him appear with a calm face and greeted him in a low voice. Then they walked out of the office with their heads lowered. Finally, they helped them keep the door shut.


    Seeing that yi shaozhi was here, yi chen put away his provocation and quickly walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What did you just do? The secretary said you were in a meeting. What meeting? A celebration of a successful plan?!"


    "Watch your language." Yi shaozhi reminded him, then went around him and sat down behind his desk. He raised his eyelids and stared at him, "I''m holding a commendation meeting for winning the business war."


    "You..." Yi chen subconsciously took a few steps forward and questioned, "Didn''t I disagree with you harming Mohan? You keep saying it''s for my good, so why don''t you respect me?"


    "Respect? You want to talk about respect? The last time I went to your house, in order to help you explain so much truth, did you respect me? Now you want me to respect you?" Yi shaozhi asked.


    "That''s because I can''t agree to the plan you''re talking about, and I don''t agree with you to do it."


    "Now that I''ve done it, how about it?" Yi shaozhi threw out a report to him and chuckled, "This is the fluctuation of gu''s stock and performance since the news was released. From these two aspects, my plan has already achieved some success. As long as I continue to work hard, I don''t have much confidence in bringing down gu''s company, but I still have confidence in bringing down gu mohan''s reputation."


    Yi chen asked in surprise, "Are you really going to take care of Mohan? But what''s the point? Even if he leaves, the gu family will still have a new leader."


    As a newbie, yi shaozhi was not in the mood to explain the rules of business not being famous. He asked with a sarcastic smile, "Why? Interested in the gu family? But it''s too late to regret. Even if you want to cooperate now, there''s no chance."


    "What are you talking about?!" Yi chen propped up his hands on the desk and leaned down to stare at yi shaozhi, who was opposite him. His voice was filled with anger that could not be ignored, "I have made it very clear that I will not do anything to hurt ye zhiqiao, so don''t do it!"


    "You don''t want to hurt her. What does it have to do with me?" Yi shaozhi asked calmly.


    Yi chen really didn''t have the right to ask for yi shaozhi''s behavior, but in order to protect ye zhiqiao, he could only put his hands on it, "If you don''t stop, our brother can''t do it! And all the comments you sent online, I will refute them accordingly. Didn''t you say that? Compared to what you said, people would believe me more closely related to ye zhiqiao."


    "Yichen!!"


    Yi shaozhi slammed the table and the teacup on the table shook slightly. His face was also stained with anger, and he sternly questioned, "Just because of a woman who has hurt you so many times, you have forgotten your last name?!"


    "I can''t control that much. I just want ye zhiqiao to live a peaceful life! As long as you stop, I can listen to you in the future, work hard, meet clients and have dinner with them. That''s all I can do, if you promise me."


    "... Are you threatening me?" Yi shaozhi narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slowly towards the desk until he was only an inch away from yi chen''s cheek. His eyes were dangerous and his tone was unspeakably terrifying, "Yi chen, listen. If you dare to interfere in this, I will deal with ye zhiqiao. It''s just a plan. If it fails, it will fail. It''s not a big loss for me, but if something happens to ye zhi, it''s for you, huh?"


    He did not say the rest of the words, but yi chen felt a sense of coldness in his heart.

 Chapter 244 The Wolf Is Coming

    He actually threatened him in return to hurt ye zhiqiao?!


    It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured down from the top of the head, and the fire in yi chen''s body was instantly extinguished. He was too anxious to threaten yi shaozhi without thinking. Yi shaozhi''s heart was twisted and twisted. With his little skill, even if he practiced for decades, he would probably not be an opponent. He didn''t expect to lift a stone and hit his own foot, but yi shaozhi found a weakness to hold him back.


    But what he said was already done. If he made a statement online to clarify for gu Mohan, yi shaozhi would definitely do what he said. By then, he would have regretted it too late.


    Looking at his expression, yi shaozhi knew that his threat had worked. Originally, he really didn''t think of how to stop yi chen''s mouth. If it wasn''t for yi chen''s reminder, he would have forgotten what was most important to his brother.


    "Have you considered it?" Yi shaozhi asked with certainty.


    Yi chen still frowned, but there was no sign of anger in it. Instead, it was full of self-blame and helplessness. After a while, he lowered his head feebly and said softly, "I see. This... I''m not involved."


    Without the potential threat of yi chen, yi shaozhi''s plan was getting better and better. In less than a day, the scope of the original public opinion expanded a lot. There were different opinions on gu Mohan''s behavior from outside, but the attitude was mainly to attack, and gu shi suffered a lot of negative impact.


    As expected, this incident reached old master gu''s ears.


    "Clatter -"


    A collection of blue-and-white porcelain tea sets from Jingdezhen was swept to the ground by gu fu. The seven-figure teacup at the auction price was smashed into pieces, leaving only a few crisp sounds.


    Mother gu''s heart trembled as she watched, but it was too late to stop her. She couldn''t bear to look at the fragments on the ground and complain, "Isn''t this your favorite tea set? How much did you spend a few years ago? I don''t know how many times you can sell it now. You..."


    "You know money!" Father gu roared at her in a rough voice. The movements were too large, and the strands of hair on his forehead were trembling.


    He stood up abruptly and pointed to the door. "Go and see what your son has done! If he goes on like this, he won''t just pay for this set of teacups! Hmm?! How did he promise me first?" Leave it to me,"" I''ll take care of it." That''s all he said, but what about now?!


    Mother gu did not know much about the company, but now she understood the importance of this matter. She quickly asked father gu, "What should we do now?"


    "What should we do? Of course, you have to get your precious son back and ask him!"


    As he spoke, gu fu leaned over to get the european metal phone on the table, but before his fingertips touched the microphone, his head suddenly exploded with a "Boom." Before he could even make a sound, he lost consciousness and fell flat on the sofa.


    "Ah!!!"


    Seeing this change, mother gu was shocked. It was not until the servants rushed over that she cried out in a trembling voice with a pale face, "Doctor... Call a doctor!!"


    On the way to the ambulance, one of the servants knew first aid and was performing cpr for gu father. Gu mother was restless and did not dare to look at the green-faced gu father. She only remembered to call gu mohan when the servant reminded her.


    "Mohan... Mohan... Come home, your father... Your father... He..." The phone rang, and mother gu''s panicked voice came over.


    Her tone made gu Mohan nervous, but then gu mohan reacted and reminded her, "Mom, haven''t you heard of the story of the wolf?"


    If he tried to lie to him twice with the same excuse, would he believe it?


    "Ah?" Mother gu panicked. She didn''t have the energy to analyze the meaning of his words, "Mohan, come on, go home... Oh no... Come to the hospital... Come to the hospital to see your father..."


    He said that he would go home first, then change to a hospital. Gu mohan did not know that the ambulance had arrived at the gu family mansion. He thought that it was her mother''s lie that had not been made up, so naturally he did not believe the truth of her words.


    "Okay, mom, I know what you want to talk to me about. I''ve stressed it many times. I won''t marry anyone except ye zhiqiao, and I won''t be able to get rid of her." Gu mohan glanced aside and continued, "Now that the company is very busy, you can stop adding to the mess, okay?"


    "I''m not... I''m not... Really your dad..."


    Before gu mother could finish, gu mohan had already hung up the phone.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao happened to come close. Gu mohan answered the phone for a long time. She was afraid that it was something in the company, so she followed him to take a look.


    "Is something wrong? I''m fine. You go ahead and get busy."


    Gu mohan put away his phone and turned to smile at ye zhiqiao, "No, it''s my mother... It''s nothing serious. We agreed to accompany you to the park to relax. How can we write a blank check?"


    Ye zhiqiao was worried and confirmed again, "Are you really not in a hurry?"


    "Don''t worry, nothing happened!" Gu mohan said as he pushed her inside, "I heard that a new artificial lake has been built in front of her. The small fry in it are all koi carp flown back from abroad. What are the red and white, big and normal colors? The zhaohe color is much more beautiful than most of the other colors in the country. Let''s take a look."


    Ye zhiqiao was not in the mood to look at the fish, but she knew that gu mohan was definitely more upset than her at this time, but even so, she still prioritized her feelings and brought her to the garden to relax. What reason did she not agree?


    "... Okay, go ahead."


    She followed gu mohan all the way to the artificial lake. It was spring, and the lake was lush with greenery. The little fish had not grown up yet. They could only see red or white shadows swirling through the clear water and disappeared in a flash.


    Gu mohan picked up a stone and threw it into the water." Plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop.


    Seeing ye zhiqiao looking at him in surprise, gu mohan proudly leaned over and asked, "Is it amazing?"


    Ye zhi glanced at him and shook her head helplessly. This man is really worth his while.


    "Ye zhiqiao!!"


    Ye zhiqiao had just walked a few steps on her own when she heard gu mohan calling her from behind. She didn''t want to pay attention, but the voice grew louder and louder, so she couldn''t ignore it. She sighed deeply and turned around.


    Gu mohan was standing on the stone pier on the lake, waving at her with vigor, as if he wanted her to go with him.

 Chapter 245 Ye Zhiqiao Drowned

    Ye zhiqiao glanced in gu mohan''s direction. On the wide lake, there was a row of stone piers about half a meter above the water surface. The surface area could fully accommodate the feet of an adult man standing on it. The row of stone piers went straight to the opposite bank from where she was.


    But...


    "That''s for kids. How old are you?" Ye zhiqiao mercilessly mocked gu mohan.


    "I call that childish." Gu mohan narrowed his eyes and smiled. He extended his hand in the direction of ye zhiqiao and invited, "Come on, afraid I''ll hold you."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to go at first. She was not good at water and had mild deep sea phobia. Although it didn''t matter if she went to the beach or took a boat, she was still preoccupied. She was afraid that walking on the lake would make her dizzy.


    But gu mohan stood there smiling so beautifully that ye zhiqiao could not refuse as she watched him raise his hands in the sun and breeze.


    Try it. With gu Mohan around, it won''t be a problem.


    Ye zhiqiao comforted herself by walking back a few steps and stepping on the stone pier like gu mohan.


    On the other side of the river, more than a dozen stone piers have to be crossed recently. For the convenience of the children, the piers are arranged in a very dense manner, so that adults can easily pass through them.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao''s expression was finally relaxed, gu mohan smiled slyly and ran a few steps forward quickly, shouting, "I''m waiting for you across the street. Come here quickly!"


    "Eh..."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan''s dashing figure, clearly a child who had succeeded in pranking, so she generously let him go.


    She bent her lips and smiled, then lowered her head and walked carefully forward.


    Everything was normal for the first half of the journey, but when she reached the middle, she suddenly felt her legs soften. Not only was she staring at the lake for too long, but she was still too tense. Her head was so dizzy that the stone pier in front of her eyes had become three or five identical double figures. The foot she had lifted did not know which one to land on.


    As she hesitated, gu mohan, who was on the other side of the river, realized her abnormality and quickly asked, "Zhiqiao, what''s wrong with you?"


    "Hmm?" When she heard someone calling her name, ye zhiqiao subconsciously looked up. It didn''t matter if she raised her head. The sense of balance under her feet disappeared without a trace. She only felt her body shake a few times, and she fell down the stone pier with her screams.


    "Plop," after the water calmed down, you could clearly see ye zhiqiao''s struggling body.


    Before gu mohan had time to think more, he plunged into the lake in the midst of the surrounding screams and swam in the direction of ye zhiqiao with all his strength.


    Ye zhiqiao really didn''t know how to swim at all. In her panic and fear, she only knew how to struggle. The process consumed too much of her strength, and she choked on a lot of water in her nose and mouth. Before gu mohan could swim over, her eyes were dark and she fainted.


    "Zhiqiao... Ye zhiqiao..."


    Gu mohan called out her name as he gasped. Seeing that she did not respond and that her body was slowly sinking under the force of gravity, he quickly dived into the water and walked through the small fry that were scurrying around in fear, grabbing her arm which was naturally lifted by the buoyancy of the water.


    Unable to speak in the water, he leaned close to ye zhiqiao from behind, holding her waist in one hand and lifting her chin in the other.


    After surfacing, the park security team also happened to drive a small boat to come, a few staff members on the boat together to pull ye zhiqiao and gu mohan onto the boat.


    "Zhiqiao! Wake up... Wake up, ah zhiqiao!" Gu mohan could not care less about the dripping clothes and pants. He half-knelt on the ground and patted ye zhiqiao''s face anxiously. Seeing that she was still motionless, he took a deep breath, pinched her nose against her mouth, and gave her a breath.


    Repeated a few times, ye zhiqiao''s mouth gushed out a lot of choking water into the lake, but he still did not wake up.


    Just as gu mohan was about to continue cpr on her, the boat came ashore. The emergency personnel informed by the crowd immediately checked ye zhiqiao''s vital signs and then carried her to the ambulance.


    Gu mohan followed her into the car and forgot about his wet clothes. He sat directly in the seat next to ye zhiqiao''s cart, holding her hand and talking to her constantly.


    Seeing that he was nervous, the emergency doctor comforted him, "Don''t worry. There''s nothing serious after the examination."


    "Then why haven''t you woken up yet?" Gu mohan asked anxiously.


    "Ah, this..." The doctor paused and said with some difficulty, "In the future, you should not learn from the tv series. For people who drown, you should check the situation before deciding whether to give artificial respiration, or the result may be counterproductive. Her coma has something to do with choking on water and improper artificial respiration..."


    "...


    The doctor stopped at the right time and faced gu mohan, who was feeling guilty and remorseful. He felt it was better not to say the rest.


    Soon, ye zhiqiao was sent to the hospital. After the first aid was completed, she was pushed back to the ward by the nurse.


    Gu mohan followed her all the way. After the nurse told him to leave, he finally had a chance to take a good look at ye zhiqiao.


    Sitting on the chair, he carefully held ye zhiqiao''s hand, blaming himself to the point of madness.


    The reason why ye zhiqiao had an accident was completely his responsibility. He had to take ye zhiqiao to the garden, to see the fish, to let her walk on the stone pier without waiting for her, and to do artificial respiration for her after saving her. It was all his fault, it was all his fault.


    Fortunately, the doctor said that ye zhiqiao had no big problem and would soon wake up. Otherwise, he would hate himself to death!


    "Mr. Gu..."


    At this moment, the nurse who had just left came back. Gu mohan still stared at ye zhiqiao and asked, "What?"


    "That... Mr. Gu, every time you come to our hospital, you use the vip ward, so the hospital system has made a detailed record of your situation, you..."


    "Get to the point." Gu mohan interrupted her impatiently, because she kept nagging here, which might disturb ye zhiqiao.


    The nurse responded weakly and said in a low voice, "Just over half an hour ago, an old man was admitted to the hospital. He seemed to be your father, so the director sent me here..."


    "Who are you talking about?!" Gu mohan turned around abruptly, "My father?"


    "Yes." The nurse nodded earnestly.


    Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao, got up and pulled the nurse out of the ward, asking nervously, "Are you sure it''s my father? Why does he live here?"


    The nurse shook her head, "That''s what the director in charge of Mr. Gu said. We are not a department, so about you..."


    Before he could finish, gu mohan was already running towards the elevator.

 Chapter 246 It Was Simply Unfilial!

    When gu father came to the hospital, he was always treated by the same chief physician, so gu mohan found the director smoothly, and learned from the other party that gu father was hospitalized in shock and the ward number where he was now.


    Worried about his father''s condition, gu mohan rushed to his ward in a hurry. As soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw his mother standing by the bed wiping her tears, and his father was still wearing a respirator.


    "Mom..." Gu mohan said softly.


    Hearing the sound, mother gu raised her head. When she saw gu mohan getting closer and closer, the anxiety and nervousness on her face turned into anger and blame in an instant. She stood up abruptly and raised her voice. "What are you doing here?"! Didn''t you never recognize us as parents and never go home again?!"


    Gu mohan deeply regretted what he had done before as he looked at his father, who had closed his eyes on the bed, and his mother, who was in tears. He blamed himself. If he had calmed down and carefully identified the panic in gu''s mother''s phone call, if he had been more patient and listened to her continue, he might not have made a judgment so easily.


    "... Mom, I''m sorry. It''s my fault." Gu mohan lowered his head deeply.


    "Are you wrong? Oh, and you know you''re wrong. You abandoned your parents for a woman, only to take a look at your father when he was in danger. You''re not just wrong, you''re simply unfilial!!" After a fierce reprimand from Mrs. Gu, she turned back to sit on the chair again and rubbed her father''s hand to shed tears.


    This scene made gu mohan feel even more uncomfortable, so he followed suit and carefully looked at his father''s face and asked his mother, "Mom, dad... What happened today? I was in a hurry just now, so I didn''t ask the doctor."


    Mother gu glanced at him and said coldly, "What else can I do? I''m mad at you! He had high blood pressure, he worked for his life when he was young, and he had a lot of problems in his body. This time... This time, he got angry because of your company and was about to call you when he fell to the ground... I was scared out of my wits..."


    As she spoke, mother gu began to sob in a low voice.


    Gu mohan rubbed his hands unconsciously and comforted him, "Mom, don''t cry. Isn''t dad out of danger now? I''ll take good care of him in the future. Don''t cry yourself to death."


    "He''s still out of danger. Do you know how dangerous it was when your father was rescued? That doctor said that your father had sustained high blood pressure these days and was stimulated. He almost couldn''t be rescued... What would I do if he was gone..."


    "Mom..."


    Gu mohan came to his mother helplessly and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "Don''t be like this. Both you and dad can live a long life. I promise, things like this will never happen again. I won''t be angry with you anymore."


    "You said..." Just as she was about to blame him, an idea came to her mind.


    Gu mohan had been ashamed and remorseful ever since he entered the house, and he had promised not to make her and his father angry again. If she had made some requests now, gu mohan might have agreed to them in the light of his condition.


    Thinking of this, mother gu cried a few more half-truthfully and then said in a hoarse voice, "After your father''s rescue, the doctor told me that his condition is not stable and that he must not be stimulated any more. You must keep your mood happy and calm. But there''s a lot on gu''s mind right now. I think even if he wakes up, he''ll still be worried."


    Mother gu suddenly changed the subject. Gu mohan did not understand what she meant for a moment, so he quietly waited for her to continue.


    "I stay with your father every day. I know everything about him. There are only two things he cares about the most, one is the company, the other..." Mother gu looked up at gu mohan and said earnestly, "It''s you."


    Looking at her probing expression, gu mohan immediately guessed what she was going to say.


    Sure enough, Mrs. Gu continued, "You''re so old, it''s time to get married. In fact, that little girl yan yan is very good, beautiful and sensible, and the most important thing is to match you. Although you made the su family lose face last time, because of our relationship with the su family, as long as you are willing to marry yan yan, old su will definitely not object."


    "Mom!" Gu mohan interrupted her and frowned, "I said I wouldn''t marry anyone else."


    Mother gu curled her lips and reminded her, "But you just said that you wouldn''t take good care of your father. What he wants most now is to see you and yan yan get married, which will help stabilize his condition."


    "I said I would take care of dad and never go back on my word, but that doesn''t mean I''ll treat marriage as a joke."


    "Mohan..."


    "Okay, mom." Gu mohan looked away and said faintly, "My wife will only be ye zhiqiao. If only marriage can stabilize dad''s condition, I don''t mind proposing to ye zhiqiao immediately."


    Mother gu''s face turned livid, "No!"


    Gu mohan knew that she would not agree and was not surprised to hear her answer, so he turned around and went into the bathroom.


    The facilities in the high-class ward were very complete, and the toiletries were brand new and of good quality. Gu mohan took a white towel, washed it with warm water, and then returned to the hospital bed to wipe his face. He promised that he would do what he promised. This illness had something to do with him. Whether it was because of his family or guilt, he had to take care of him until he recovered.


    In this way, he worked in the gu father''s ward for a long time without touching his feet. It was not until an hour later that he returned to ye zhiqiao''s ward by buying food for his mother.


    As soon as he opened the door, a low cry came from inside.


    "Zhiqiao?!" His heart jerked up and he ran quickly to ye zhiqiao''s bed.


    Ye zhiqiao was pale on the bed, her forehead and nose were covered in beads of sweat, and even her neck was glistening. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and she was mumbling something vaguely.


    Gu mohan got closer and recognized her carefully before he could hear her chanting, "Who are you... Who are you..."


    It looked like a nightmare.


    Gu mohan quickly asked softly, "Zhiqiao? Did you have a nightmare? It''s okay. Don''t be afraid. There''s nothing to be afraid of with me here."


    Gu mohan said it several times, and ye zhiqiao finally turned her round eyes, then looked at him in confusion. The skin on her face was still tense from the intense nerves, and only after a long time did she say, "Gu mohan... I... Had a particularly scary dream."

 Chapter 247 Familiar Face

    She dreamed about five years ago, about the night that she would never be able to escape.


    The man on top of her seemed to have seen his face again. Heroic eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose bridge and thin lips, she even clearly saw a small vortex at the corner of his lips. No matter how she looked at it, it was a handsome young man''s face, but it was also that man who destroyed her life.


    But when she woke up, she forgot all about her face. The only thing she remembered was how she felt about that dream.


    The familiar feeling of that face, tension, fear, shame, resentment...


    The only feeling left was that she could not calm down for a long time after waking up. Subconsciously, she always felt that she knew that person, but no matter how she thought about it, there was no result.


    She did not tell gu mohan about the dream, but even so, gu mohan could understand her feelings. He gently helped her up, his warm hands on her back, his voice soft as cotton: "Forget it, forget it. It''s a nightmare anyway. Remember what those do? It would make sense if you had a dream about marrying me and racked your brains."


    It was a comforting word, but the second half was a scoundrel.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know whether to be angry or laugh, so she put her hand on gu mohan''s shoulder and supported her. She pushed her body up and down, then raised her head and kissed gu mohan on the cheek.


    Gu mohan had been standing and leaning down, and his awkward position had become even more silly because of ye zhiqiao''s "Sudden attack." He was stunned for a while before he touched the side face that ye zhiqiao had kissed and started to laugh. The small dimple at the corner of his lips suddenly became deeper than usual.


    The two of them were lovers, so it was natural for them to hug and kiss, but it was the first time that ye zhiqiao took the initiative and surprised her.


    Ye zhiqiao averted her eyes and puffed up her mouth, "That... You don''t have to worry about me. It''s just a nightmare."


    "... Yeah." Gu mohan replied in a daze.


    There was another silence.


    After a long time, ye zhiqiao said again, "By the way, you seemed to have come in from outside just now. What did you do?"


    Because there was a bathroom in the ward, there was no need to go out if there was nothing special. Ye zhiqiao thought the company was looking for him.


    Gu mohan didn''t want to tell her about his hospitalization. First, he didn''t want her to worry. Second, he was afraid that she would blame herself if she knew about his illness. He said casually, "Nothing. The assistant told me about the company. But don''t be nervous. Nothing happened."


    "I see." Ye zhiqiao nodded and was about to ask about her falling into the water when a loud noise suddenly came from the door!


    She and gu mohan turned to look over together, only to see that mother gu was standing at the door fiercely. The door that she had pushed open violently shook back and forth a few times before it slowly stopped.


    Both of them were shocked by the sudden appearance of mother gu and forgot to speak for a moment.


    Mother gu was furious and rushed in two steps at a time. Without looking at gu mohan beside her, she rushed straight to ye zhiqiao and pointed at her nose, "You''re the jinx again. You really can''t live without Mohan for even a minute, can you?! What''s wrong with you? Just come to the hospital and stay in such a good ward. Is it because Mohan has money that you try to get it for yourself?!!"


    The scolded ye zhiqiao was still in a daze, but gu mohan had already reacted. As he stretched out his hand to pull mother gu back, he asked, "Why are you here?"


    "Why am I here?!" Mother gu shook him off and asked sternly, "Can''t I come? This bitch is going to disown my son''s evil half. If I don''t teach her a lesson, her fox tail will fly to the sky!"


    After yelling at gu mohan, mother gu turned her eyes back to ye zhiqiao and said sarcastically, "Miss ye, you are really resourceful! My son, whom the gu family had worked so hard to raise for decades, was eaten to death by you. He doesn''t even care about his own father, he has to come here to accompany you... Come, tell me, what are the methods you used to seduce men and teach them bad? How did you get a man to be unfaithful to his parents and revolve around you all day long?!"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao still did not understand why mother gu suddenly came to say these words to her. She knew that her mother did not like her, but she had never seen her scold her like this before.


    Gu mohan had long been unable to listen to his mother''s slanderous words, but he had no way to fight back when she was his mother. He could only hold her by the shoulder and pull her away.


    But perhaps it was because of her father''s sudden illness, or perhaps it was because gu mohan had once again rejected the request to marry su yanbai. Today''s gu mother was extremely angry and excited, and even refused to pretend to be noble.


    She stared fiercely at ye zhiqiao''s face and pointed at the door to warn her, "Get out of here now. Never, never pester Mohan again! Our gu family will never recognize you as a daughter-in-law. You must die of your heart as a young lady!!"


    Gu mohan''s face darkened as he reminded her, "Mom, I''ve said it many times. I..."


    "Mohan." Ye zhiqiao stopped him and turned to mother gu and said, "Auntie, I know you don''t like me, but you are not a person without quality. Today you are like this... Can you tell me the reason? I want to know what happened."


    It was not once or twice that gu mohan swore in front of his parents that he would not marry her unless she did, but ye zhiqiao understood that gu mohan''s actions had no effect at all. Today''s mother gu was more exasperated than the previous few times, and there was definitely a reason she did not understand, and for this kind of knot, it was useless to escape forever. We must speak out and explain the misunderstanding clearly.


    Ye zhiqiao took a step back to get things settled, but mother gu didn''t intend to give her a chance, and she didn''t want to waste any time and energy thinking about her behavior.


    "Come on, ye. Now that the white lotus is no longer popular, you can just lie to Mohan with your tricks. Lie to me? Don''t even think about it!"


    As she spoke, mother gu looked down in her handbag and took out a bank card. She threw it at ye zhiqiao''s face mercilessly and said sarcastically with a crooked mouth, "You just want money, don''t you? To tell you the truth, our gu family really doesn''t lack this money!"

 Chapter 248 Mother and Wife Choose One

    A sharp pain came from the side of her face, which was cut by the sharp edge of the bank card. Ye zhiqiao subconsciously reached out to cover it, then raised her eyes, and most of the calm disappeared.


    She could ignore the verbal abuse. After all, the other party was an elder, so she tolerated it in order not to make gu mohan embarrassed. But the insulting meaning of mother gu''s behavior just now made it impossible for her to ignore and throw money at other people''s faces. Heh!


    "Auntie, this is... A little too much." She suppressed her anger and thought that if mother gu''s attitude could change a little, she would continue to endure it.


    Gu mohan also rushed to ye zhiqiao''s side and gently took her hand away to look at her cheek, where a red mark had been cut, looking very clear on the already white and delicate skin.


    Gu mohan could not bear to hurt ye zhiqiao like this in front of him any longer. Just as he was about to explode, his mother suddenly gave a hateful smile.


    "Heh - I hurt you, didn''t you take the opportunity to ask mo han for money again? Don''t look at me like that. You should thank me."


    Then mother gu raised her chin at the bank card that fell to the floor and said teasingly, "That''s ten thousand yuan. I didn''t bring too much with me because I was in such a hurry to go out. If you don''t think it''s enough, you can ask me for it in private. As long as you leave Mohan, I will definitely meet your requirements to the maximum."


    "Who wants your money?!"


    Ye zhiqiao finally couldn''t stand it any longer. She waved away gu mohan and jumped out of bed without putting on her shoes. She stood in front of her mother and said word by word, "I think you are the elder and Mohan''s mother, so I call you aunt, but I hope you can be worthy of this title before you speak and do anything! You said I was with Mohan for money, so let me ask you, have you seen me take a penny from your son?"


    Mother gu rolled her eyes contemptuously and sneered, "How could I possibly know if you were blowing the pillow breeze for my son? What I see is because you, my son, don''t care about his parents, don''t care about his career, and are obsessed with everything!"


    "You really know how to fantasize!" Ye zhiqiao sternly asked, "Don''t you know what kind of person Mohan is? Ask yourself, when you say these things against me, are you thinking about Mohan or the marriage between the gu family and the su family?"


    "You... What did you say?! How dare you..." Mother gu choked on her, but for a moment, she couldn''t find an excuse to hide it. She could only point at her nose and glare at her.


    Ye zhiqiao was not willing to show weakness, but her eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. She really couldn''t understand why people who lived most of their lives couldn''t look at benefits. Is a well-matched business marriage really that important? Not even willing to destroy the happiness of his own son, not willing to use the most vicious words to attack the woman his son likes.


    Mother gu could not defeat her, but she lost her confidence in a few words and turned the topic to gu mohan.


    "Mohan, tell me!"


    Gu mohan''s face was already dark, and his eyes were filled with anger. Naturally, his tone was not good either, "What did I say? Do you want to hear me, or can you hear me?"


    "... Wow, wow, you!" Even her own son was helping outsiders to get on with her, and mother gu''s face turned red and white. She stomped her foot and stared at gu mohan, "I just want to ask you one thing. Me, and this woman" ...


    She gasped and glared at ye zhiqiao, then asked, "Make a choice between us. Do you want this woman or your mother? If you choose her, I will treat it as if I have never had a son like you. If you still have a conscience to choose me, then stay away from this woman!"


    One of the most puzzling questions for a man is to choose between his mother and his wife. There are still a lot of normal families who would get into an uproar over this matter, not to mention the agitated mother gu and ye zhiqiao.


    If it was normal, gu mohan would certainly be troubled by this matter, but now, he had a clear answer in his heart.


    Although mother gu had given birth to him and raised him, he should have used his whole life to repay him with gratitude, but this does not mean that mother gu can control his life and use it as a bargaining chip to kidnap his feelings! Mother gu had already done too many excessive things to ye zhiqiao. Like ye zhiqiao, gu mohan had changed from trying his best to holding back his anger, so at this moment, he would not hesitate.


    "You and zhiqiao can actually coexist peacefully, but if you insist on forcing me to make a choice, then I''m sorry, I choose zhi..."


    "Gu mohan!"


    As gu mohan''s "Zhiqiao" was about to blurt out, ye zhiqiao suddenly stopped him.


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao in confusion, "Zhiqiao, you..."


    "She''s your mother." Ye zhiqiao said lightly.


    Although she thought that her mother''s behavior was too much and that she had broken her face with her for the first time, she did so only because she was angry, but she could not let gu mohan stand by her side. Mother gu was gu mohan''s mother after all. A mother could deny her son, but a mother who gave him life, gu mohan could never deny it.


    No matter how much she valued her interests and ignored her feelings, mother gu would definitely have an unforgettable family relationship with gu mohan. If gu mohan really gave up on mother gu, even if it was just a matter of words and deeds, mother gu would definitely feel sad.


    Because her mother died when she was a child, ye zhiqiao had a deeper feeling and respect for the word "Mother." She could not let gu mohan do something he would regret in the future on impulse.


    "Gu mohan, you should choose your mother." It was the same calm tone, but the insistence was hard to ignore.


    Gu mohan understood ye zhiqiao''s intentions and knew that if he didn''t listen to her at this time, even if he chose her, she would not accept it calmly. He could only helplessly lower his head and softly said, "Okay, I choose my mother."


    Mother gu was satisfied with the result. Although gu mohan changed his choice temporarily under ye zhiqiao''s insistence, she would not thank ye zhiqiao for it at all. In her opinion, even if gu mohan really chose ye zhiqiao, it would only be a moment of confusion and confusion.


    Mother gu chuckled and said with a smug smile, "It''s a little filial. In that case, get rid of this woman and come back to take care of your father."


    With that, mother gu turned around and walked slowly out of the ward with her proud neck held high.


    As soon as she left, gu mohan immediately looked at ye zhiqiao apologetically and said, "I''m sorry, I''ve wronged you again. I''m responsible for this. I..."


    Before he could finish, ye zhiqiao had already bent down to pick up the bank card and threw it back at him.

 Chapter 249 Take Care of Uncle and Come to Me Again

    The bank card flashed a parabola in the air and hit gu mohan''s chest. Gu mohan subconsciously reached out to pick it up. When he realized what he was holding, he began to worry.


    "Zhiqiao, I know who you are. Can you not be as sensible as my mother? I''ll take this card back to her right away. Don''t be angry!" As he spoke, gu mohan was about to walk out.


    Ye zhiqiao stopped him, fixed her eyes on his face and said, "You can see that I''m angry, but you don''t know why I''m angry. I knew your mother didn''t like me, so I wouldn''t be able to take a few insults. What I really couldn''t take was that I didn''t even know the cause of that farce."


    First, she drowned, then woke up from her nightmare. Before she could get out of the hospital bed, she was scolded with a gun and a stick, but the other party refused to even tell her a crime. That was what made her angry.


    And gu mohan in front of him clearly knew, but he refused to tell the truth.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were too sharp, as if they could penetrate people''s hearts. Gu mohan instantly felt that he had no way to hide, so he had to admit, "I lied to you before. I didn''t call back, but came back from my father''s ward."


    Mother gu had mentioned gu mohan''s father several times earlier and said that she wanted him to take care of her father, so ye zhiqiao was not too surprised by his illness.... "Uncle, what''s wrong?"


    Gu mohan sighed, lowered his head and said, "High blood pressure, because the matter with the gu family a few days ago was followed by anxiety. An hour ago, I heard that my last statement was questioned and caused a huge uproar on the internet, so I was stimulated again, almost... Did not save it."


    "An hour ago..." Ye zhiqiao muttered, recalling the events at that time: "When we just arrived at the park? The phone call you''re taking won''t be..."


    Gu mohan nodded and blamed himself, "Yes. It was my mother who called, and she said that dad was sick... But because she used this as an excuse last time to trick me into coming home, I didn''t believe her this time. I thought... She was lying to me again."


    After understanding the cause and effect, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt speechless.


    Gu Mohan was responsible for this, but he couldn''t be blamed for it all. Normal people would be on guard after being cheated once. It was normal for them to be suspicious if they heard the same thing again. But after all, gu father was sick, or because gu mohan and the gu family were talented and sick. It was reasonable that gu mohan had the duty to take care of him.


    Seeing that ye zhi qiao did not speak for a long time, gu mohan was a little worried and asked tentatively, "Why don''t you take a rest for a while and I''ll come over to see my father when you fall asleep?"


    "No need." Ye zhiqiao walked to the storage cabinet and took out her washed and dried clothes. She turned to gu mohan and said, "I will leave the hospital now. You stay here and focus on taking care of uncle."


    "Ah?!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s sudden decision made gu mohan panic instantly. He chased after ye zhiqiao and said anxiously, "No, you can''t leave the hospital! Drowning is not a joke. You drank a lot of water in the lake and came out soaked. You might have a fever."


    "It should be fine. I know my constitution very well. If I get sick, I will come back." Ye zhiqiao said calmly.


    "That won''t do either!" Gu mohan took the clothes from her hand and discussed, "Stay for another two days... Or observe for another night. I''ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon and discharge you from the hospital."


    Looking at gu mohan''s roguish look, ye zhi qiaoqi was neither smiling nor smiling. After a long time, she said helplessly, "You don''t have to do this. I''m not throwing a tantrum at you. I said I was discharged because there was really no physical discomfort, so there was no need to continue being hospitalized. After I leave, you can take care of your uncle and aunt. Although auntie has gone a little overboard in some things, she and uncle are getting old, and they need you as their son to be filial to them and spend all your time on me. It''s really not proper."


    Gu mohan suggested, "I can take care of you two together..."


    "I said I disagree." Ye zhiqiao emphasized.


    "... Gu mohan looked away, refusing to talk.


    No matter how he reacted, ye zhiqiao continued, "Anyway, now it''s time for you to be filial to your parents. I hope my boyfriend is a man who values family and knows how to be grateful, so that he can set an example for xiao bao. So don''t come to me again until you take care of your uncle. Even if you do, I won''t see you."


    Gu mohan was stunned and asked in shock, "Are you... Are you... Making a big deal out of this?"


    "Whatever you think." Ye zhiqiao shrugged her shoulders, grabbed the clothes from his hands, and pushed him out the door, "I want to change now. You can go straight back to uncle."


    "Hey!" Gu mohan held onto the door frame and made a final fight, "Can you let me take you home first? My dad won''t wake up for a while."


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and shook her head, then closed the door.


    Gu mohan patted him listlessly and saw that there was no response, so he said helplessly, "Okay then." Then he turned around and walked to gu father''s ward.


    Until now, it was like a day of disaster for gu mohan.


    Early in the morning, he was disturbed by the report attacking him on the internet, and the company was inevitably affected. Gu father was in a hurry to get sick because of this, and ye zhiqiao fell into the water by accident. Finally, she was sent to the hospital and her mother made a big scene. Ye zhiqiao also said that she was not allowed to look for her before taking good care of gu father...


    I thought I was going to stay in the hospital for a few days so depressed, but I didn''t expect that happiness and misfortune depended on happiness and fortune. Within half an hour of ye zhiqiao''s departure, gu mohan was at his wits end!


    A video of a woman falling into the middle of a lake was uploaded on the internet to save her life. She didn''t struggle with the water and was in pain. In less than a second, a man on the shore plunged into the water, not even taking off his suit and shoes, and swam to the woman''s side with a heavy load. After the two were rescued by the staff, the man immediately gave the woman first aid. According to the onlookers present, the man''s panicked hands were shaking and he kept calling the woman''s name. His voice was hoarse and he looked like a husband and wife or a lover.


    Although it was not a brave act, the people at the scene were deeply moved.


    As soon as this video was posted online, it received an astonishing number of hits, coupled with the recent high number of appearances of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, so their identities were quickly recognized.

 Chapter 250 Very Peaceful

    For a while, president gu jumped into the lake to save his girlfriend who fell into the water, and for the morning attack on gu mohan, many people also raised objections.


    There is a term in psychology called "Halo effect," which refers to the fact that after seeing a good impression of a person, one will infer that the person is good in other ways.


    Therefore, gu mohan did not care about his status and was not afraid of danger. He jumped into the water to save ye zhiqiao almost without thinking. Not only did he prove his feelings with ye zhiqiao from the side, but also made the public have a good impression of him. Since he was considered an excellent person, he would subconsciously deny those bad words about him.


    Most of the people in this period of time have completely stood on gu mohan''s side, except for his and ye zhiqiao''s original die-hard fans, the others who had doubted or scolded him have changed their positions, and even a group of netizens went under the news article attacking him to "Fight injustice," saying that the other party was deliberately framed.


    Gu mohan and the gu family were finally on the brink of extinction. An accident brought them an unexpected joy. The storm calmed down and the gu family was finally back on track.


    Gu mohan returned to the ward after receiving a call from his assistant to report the good news. The doctor had just come once, removed his ventilator and announced that he was out of danger.


    He sat down in his chair and was about to get closer to see the white hair on his father''s sideburns, but he didn''t want him to open his eyes. They looked at each other in a daze.


    "... Dad, are you awake?" Gu mohan sat upright and said.


    Father gu nodded. In fact, he had woken up once before, when gu mohan was not around, and his mother sat beside him and scolded ye zhiqiao. He thought that gu mohan was going to accompany ye zhiqiao again, so he didn''t come over. Before he could say anything, he fell asleep again.


    Unexpectedly, gu mohan had already come to his side when he woke up this time.


    Father gu opened his mouth and was about to ask something, but after some thought, he finally swallowed it back.


    Seeing his worry, gu mohan took the initiative and said, "Dad, don''t worry about the company. Just now, my assistant called me. The online turmoil has subsided. The company has been affected for a short time and has not caused any losses."


    "Solved?" Father gu slightly widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "How did you solve it?"


    For businessmen, reputation and image are very important. The news attacking gu mohan grasped these two points. If you want to turn over, it will not be easy.


    Father gu just woke up, gu mohan didn''t want to let these things bother him, but seeing his expression of disbelief, he had to roughly tell the story of ye zhiqiao''s falling into the water video posted online.


    After hearing this, father gu finally relaxed.


    He was so angry that he rushed to the hospital and ended up with such a dramatic ending. Although it was amazing, he had to believe it. But what happened to ye zhi after she fell into the water? And was Mrs. Gu angry because of ye zhiqiao? Father gu still had these two questions in his mind.


    But he wasn''t going to ask any more questions. Gu mohan''s mind must be in a mess now. Even if the incident subsided, there was still a lot of follow-up work to be done by the president, gu mohan, who had to deal with business and take care of his father, so he didn''t have to bother him for the time being.


    After this incident, the atmosphere between the father and son eased a lot. Gu mohan took good care of him and spent the night in the hospital. The next day, he took advantage of the opportunity to go home to wash up and sleep before leaving the hospital.


    This trip was definitely empty, because ye zhiqiao did not listen to his words and stayed at home to rest, and did not return to work in the studio, but came to the branch studio alone, "To see" gu chengyan.


    The reason why ye zhiqiao came here was a series of complaints from jian mengqi.


    It turned out that since gu chengyan took over the branch studio, the branch studio seemed to be separated from the main department. Gu chengyan even made a lot of money from it and did a lot of shady things in the name of a studio.


    However, the various reports here have never been found to be flawed, so the boss, jian mengqi, has nothing to do. Therefore, ye zhiqiao volunteered and volunteered to come here to find out the truth. After all, gu chengyan''s purpose was to frame her. Seeing her in her own territory, gu chengyan would never miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so gu chengyan had to reveal a little flaw. Jian mengqi could think of a way to deal with her immediately.


    Before ye zhiqiao arrived, she did not greet the people in the studio. When she stepped into the hall, the expression of the front desk clearly flashed a moment of shock.


    Nominally, as a member of the studio of jian mengqi, the front desk naturally recognized ye zhiqiao, and ye zhiqiao did not hide her identity. She walked over and asked, "Hello, is director gu there?"


    Gu chengyan managed the branch, so jian mengqi gave her the position of director.


    The receptionist had recovered from his initial surprise, but he did not greet ye zhiqiao. Instead, he asked directly with a stiff attitude, "Do you have an appointment?!"


    Ye zhiqiao choked and explained, "I''m ye zhiqiao, the manager of the general department. I''m here today to find out about the development of the branch, so I don''t need an appointment."


    "Oh." The front desk responded, and then began to dial the landline. Before the call was connected, he mumbled, "Great news from headquarters."


    This sentence was not too loud, just so ye zhiqiao could hear it. Ye zhiqiao smiled faintly and said nothing.


    She came here today to see how gu chengyan had trained her confidants. She should be happy to find out the moment she entered the house.


    However, there is a good saying: "The bigger the official, the better the person."


    The little girl at the front desk had no nose or face for ye zhiqiao, but gu chengyan was the opposite. When she heard that ye zhiqiao had come, she did not ask her to go up, but went downstairs to greet her. She also brought a lot of staff with her, and the formation was very big.


    "President ye!" Gu chengyan''s face was full of smiles. After getting off the elevator, he came to ye zhiqiao in two and three steps. He held her hand for a long time and pretended to complain, "Why didn''t you inform me in advance? I''m also prepared. It was really my fault for keeping you waiting here for so long. If president jian found out, he would definitely blame me."

 Chapter 251 Wolfs Den and Tigers Den

    It was a polite sentence, but it made ye zhiqiao''s heart skip a beat.


    After letting herself wait for a while, jian mengqi would blame her. Hearing this, jian mengqi was really like a mother who squeezed employees. Most of the staff in the branch studios had only seen jian mengqi during the interview. If gu chengyan had maliciously defamed jian mengqi in the long run, their impression of jian mengqi and the headquarters would definitely not be good.


    Ye zhiqiao kept smiling and patted the back of gu chengyan''s hand, "What did director gu say? How can you blame president jian for not praising you for managing the branch so well? By the way, besides looking at the current situation, president jian also entrusted me with another matter. She asked me to carefully understand the situation of the staff and prepare to give them benefits."


    She added this one at the last minute, in order to help jian mengqi win over the hearts of the people, but when her eyes swept over the staff standing behind gu chengyan, she immediately realized that her strategy had failed.


    The staff were standing there with a straight face. They could not see anything on the surface, but the emotion in their eyes was very obvious.


    Indifferent, contemptuous, sarcastic, disgusted, impatient... None of them were friendly.


    Gu chengyan chimed in at the right time, "President ye said he would give you benefits? How come none of them responded and were so happy?!"


    As soon as gu chengyan opened his mouth, the staff seemed to be pressed on and off, thanking ye zhiqiao one after another.


    "Thank you so much, president ye. We are so poor that we have no food to eat. We have to live on your reward."


    "Welfare? What is it? Snacks, cosmetics or red envelopes? How much can a red envelope cover? Stop teasing me!"


    "Our director gu gave us the best, so Mr. Ye should save some for Mr. Jian."


    ...


    Ye zhiqiao raised her hand and automatically blocked the sarcasm, "As long as you work hard for president jian and get a promotion and a raise, our treatment will not be lower than any other company."


    "We''d like to work hard, so can you stop blocking the entrance?" The front desk muttered.


    As soon as she finished speaking, the other employees complained, "We still have a lot of work to do there. Can''t we stay here with the leaders all the time? Who will be in charge if the project is delayed?"


    "That''s right. Director gu, let''s go back. This president ye can show her what he wants to see. Is there anything we can''t hide?"


    "Yes, yes..."


    There was a commotion, and ye zhiqiao still stood there in a calm and calm manner. She had nothing to say anymore, because no matter what she said, gu chengyan''s employees would not appreciate it. Gu chengyan had brought so many people down on purpose, deliberately making it seem as if the people at headquarters loved to put on airs and be unkind, but she could not find any reason to refute it. But even if she did, no one would be on her side.


    Well, didn''t gu chengyan just want her to suffer? Then she followed gu chengyan''s wishes and continued to play dumb, so that she could appease gu chengyan. Only when the fox was proud would it show its tail.


    The staff''s complaints were interrupted by "Good old man" gu chengyan. She pretended to be blaming the crowd and shouted, "Ye is always sent by headquarters. She represents president jian. If you disrespect her, you disrespect president jian. Do you know that?!"


    "Chengyan, you mustn''t say that." Ye zhiqiao patted gu chengyan''s shoulder affectionately, and her tone was full of sincerity, "It''s our honor to have such a group of employees who love to work and are not afraid of power in the studio. I can''t be happy enough. How can I feel that they don''t respect me?"


    Gu chengyan looked at her in surprise and asked tentatively, "Really? Don''t you think... That I''m too indulgent with them?"


    "How could it be? Mengqi and I have seen what you can do. You don''t know how many times mengqi has talked to me about you since you ran the branch. She said that the person I recommended to her was not an assistant at all, but a decathlete."


    "... Well" ... Gu chengyan thought for a moment and believed ye zhiqiao''s words.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and then said to her, "I''m here too. I''ve seen it. I''ll go to your office later and leave the rewards for you and the staff. Then I''ll go back."


    "Eh?!" Hearing that she was leaving, gu chengyan became anxious. It was not easy for ye zhi to come to her place alone. She didn''t know if she could have it again next time, so she hurriedly asked her to stay and said, "President ye, you see that the branch is quite far from the headquarters. Usually, you don''t have a chance to come. Today, it''s not easy for you to come so quickly. How about I take you around as a guide after work and have dinner?"


    This was exactly what ye zhiqiao wanted. What she was afraid of was that gu chengyan would not do anything.


    "In that case... I''ll trouble you. I didn''t sleep well last night. I''ll find a hotel to rest. I''ll come back after work."


    Gu chengyan did not suspect that ye zhiqiao was so easy to talk to, because ye zhiqiao had always been very kind to her. Gu chengyan replied with great joy, "Okay, I''ll listen to you."


    The two of them agreed on the time to meet, and then ye zhiqiao left the branch with the reward.


    As soon as ye zhiqiao left, gu chengyan called Xiaorui.


    "Xiaorui? Come to my office right away. I have something to tell you."


    It had been a while since gu mohan had repaired her. Xiaorui had thought that gu chengyan had forgotten about her and that everything had passed, but he did not expect to receive another call from gu chengyan. She really didn''t want to get involved in these matters, so she refused, "Miss gu, what''s the matter with you? I''m sorry, but I have an important announcement to make, so maybe not..."


    "Xiaorui..." Without waiting for xiao rui to finish her sentence, gu chengyan had already interrupted in a dangerous tone, "You are not even a third-tier actress now, are you almost falling to the 18th line? Tell me there''s an important announcement? Is it a commercial performance or a blind spot?"


    "I really..."


    "Don''t talk nonsense to me! Did you forget everything you did before? To drug ye zhiqiao and yi chen and spread the word that not only can they not become celebrities, they might even have to eat prison food!" Gu chengyan threatened in a vicious voice.


    "But you promised not to look for me anymore... What are you going to do this time? I won''t do anything illegal."


    Gu chengyan snorted coldly, his voice like a snake''s letter: "It''s not up to you. Come here quickly, don''t let me say it for the third time."


    Xiaorui was no match for her in the ruthlessness of her tricks, so she had to follow her orders and go to the branch office.

 Chapter 252 Very Surprised

    Ye zhiqiao left the studio and found a hotel nearby to rest. Just as she took a bath and was about to have a good sleep, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    She probably guessed who it was, so she changed into the clothes she had been wearing before she opened the door. Looking through the door mirror, it was indeed gu mohan.


    When the door opened, gu mohan looked unhappy and muttered as he walked inside, "Why did you open the door so long? Is there someone hiding inside?"


    It''s always so unprofessional!


    Ye zhiqiao secretly glared at him from behind and asked instead, "Who said you were allowed in?"


    Gu mohan shuddered and hunched down on the sofa as if he were being chased away by her. He then defended himself, "My father''s blood pressure has been controlled. Now that I have been released with my father''s permission, you can''t leave me alone."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao blinked. In fact, she had no intention of making things difficult for him.


    Gu mohan looked up and smacked his lips, "Why are you here? Didn''t I tell you to rest at home?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally reached for a glass of water and handed it to him. She sat beside him and replied, "Come and see gu chengyan. See what she''s done to jian mengqi''s studio."


    "Any surprises?" Gu mohan was intrigued.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled faintly and said, "Very surprised."


    "It seems that gu chengyan is quite capable..."


    As he spoke, gu mohan yawned and ye zhiqiao tilted her head and asked, "So listless. Didn''t you sleep last night?"


    Gu mohan nodded and said in a resentful voice, "I was supposed to catch up on sleep this morning, but I spent all my time looking for you. I went to your house first, but there was no one, and then I rushed to the studio. Still, there was no one. I didn''t dare to call you, because I was afraid that you would hide from me..."


    Looking at his aggrieved expression, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt like laughing. She rubbed his head like a puppy and said, "So she bribed mengqi to inquire about my whereabouts?"


    "I never thought that woman would tell you anything! We agreed not to divulge the secret." Gu mohan grunted unhappily, took ye zhiqiao''s hand off his head, rubbed it against his palm, and then leaned forward to give him a kiss.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and patted him, "What are you doing?!"


    Gu mohan narrowed his eyes, stretched out his long arm and held her in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder and leaned closer to her ear, "My girlfriend, what do you think I''m doing?"


    "!" Ye zhiqiao was originally ticklish, and the skin on her ears was even more sensitive. As soon as he breathed, her body shook violently.


    "Gu mohan!"


    It was a warning, but his voice was soft as if he was acting coquettishly. Gu mohan''s throat suddenly tightened and he aimed it at the skin and kissed it.


    "Uh-" ye zhi coincidentally let out a low cry, her whole body tensed up.


    As she slowly changed from shy rejection to genuine pandering, the phone on the table began to scream out out of place.


    Gradually, her dazed eyes regained their clarity in an instant, and she reminded him in a low voice, "Gu mohan, I''m calling."


    Gu mohan naturally heard the damn bell, sighed with great dissatisfaction, released his grip on ye zhiqiao, and leaned back against the sofa.


    Ye zhiqiao''s cheeks were already pink. She picked up the phone while cooling her cheeks with the back of her hand.


    "Is it ye zhi... Miss ye?" The woman on the other side asked.


    Ye zhiqiao frowned, "Xiaorui?"


    Xiaorui agreed and continued, "Gu chengyan is looking for me again. She has discussed some things with me. Do you want to hear?"


    Of course!


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the time and then asked, "Where are you now? Can we meet?"


    "Gu chengyan asked me to look for her in her studio. I just left the door and was in a coffee shop nearby."


    Coffee shop? It was too close to the studio, so it would be troublesome to meet there if gu chengyan found out about it.


    Ye zhiqiao suggested, "I''m at a nearby hotel. I''ll send you the hotel name and room number later. Come to me."


    Xiaorui did not hesitate and answered directly.


    Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang again.


    Xiaorui followed ye zhiqiao into the room. When she saw gu mohan there, she was obviously stiff. It seemed that gu mohan had left a big shadow on her last time.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw her shrink and patted her on the side to let her sit down.


    Xiaorui nodded quickly and did not dare to look in gu Mohan''s direction after sitting down. He said directly to ye zhiqiao, "Just now, gu chengyan suddenly called me to come here and told me that he wanted me to help her, but she didn''t tell me the specific plan. She just said that she wanted to let you have an accident in the studio and let me wait for her orders at any time."


    Gu mohan glanced at her and confirmed, "Apart from these, you don''t know anything else?"


    "I really don''t know!" Xiaorui waved his hand again and again, fearing that he would not believe him, and added, "If she contacts me again, I will inform you immediately."


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao nodded and turned to gu Mohan, "I promised gu chengyan to meet her at the studio after work. Now it seems that she just wanted to do something at that time."


    Gu mohan patted his thighs and stood up. He walked to the french window and looked at the office building not far away. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a deep voice, "It''s time to close the net after waiting for her for so long. If something happens to you in her territory, she can''t even explain it."


    Ye zhiqiao came to him and agreed, "She probably won''t do it in person. I''ll try my best to find her then."


    "But your safety..." Gu mohan turned to look at her worriedly, "I''ll send two bodyguards to follow you. Just keep them away from gu chengyan."


    Ye zhiqiao knew that this method would not work without thinking about it, "You also know that it is gu chengyan''s territory. There are her spies everywhere. I will definitely arouse her suspicions if I bring people over, or I am the safest person in the past."


    She raised her hand to adjust gu Mohan''s collar and said softly, "I know you''re worried about me, but gu chengyan is like a fish bone. If we don''t pull it out one day, we won''t be able to feel at ease. For the sake of the future, it''s worth the risk."


    Gu mohan''s eyes darkened as he stared into the corner and promised fiercely, "When I catch her, I will make her pay the most painful price."


    Ye zhi agreed softly and comforted him instead, "Don''t worry, the studio is also a public place. She doesn''t dare to be too conspicuous. Besides, I''m already on guard and won''t be fooled so easily."

 Chapter 253 Help Me Get Justice

    Gu mohan sighed, "But..."


    "Okay -" ye zhiqiao dragged a long voice and shook his arm, "Don''t worry, okay?"


    Gu mohan had no choice but to pinch her nose in anger. After a while, he asked, "What did you say you were going to do before you left work?"


    "I wanted to take a nap before going out for a walk, but since you''re so tired, I decided to stay here and rest with you."


    "I''m not tired." Hearing what she said, gu mohan immediately stretched and said briskly, "We don''t come here often. I''ll take you out for a day. We''ll catch the mole together after we''re full!"


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated, "You didn''t sleep last night..."


    "Who said that? I slept for hours." Gu mohan smiled slyly and deliberately lowered his voice, "After my father fell asleep, I fell asleep on the sofa. I didn''t get up until dawn when my mother came. I''m not tired or sleepy at all, really."


    ... Really?"


    Gu mohan gave a "Tsk" and pushed her shoulder out, "Of course, let''s go out now. We''ll go shopping after lunch. After we catch gu chengyan, we''ll go home and sleep!"


    He arranged everything, and ye zhiqiao did not refuse. She relaxed and played with him for most of the day before returning to the studio in the evening.


    When ye zhi coincidentally entered the door, it was already time for her to leave work. The staff of the studio were continuously packing up their things and walking out. Most people did not respond to her when they saw her. Of course, they could not say hello to her and treat her like air.


    She didn''t care at all. She wandered around on her own. On the surface, she looked around the studio when she was off work. In fact, she was looking for the "Surprise" that gu chengyan had prepared for her.


    "President ye..."


    A weak female voice sounded behind her. Ye zhiqiao didn''t hear it at first, but she didn''t turn around until the other party called for a second time.


    Standing opposite her was a little girl wearing a thin pink sweater and a cotton dress. She looked soft and weak, but her big eyes were bright and cute.


    Ye zhiqiao thought about it and made sure that she had not seen this little girl around gu chengyan this morning. Then she asked, "What''s the matter? Are you an employee here as well?"


    The little girl nodded and introduced herself, "My name is Li Qian, and I am currently a designer''s assistant."


    "I see." Ye zhiqiao nodded and asked again, "What did you call me for?"


    Li Qian glanced around, then took a step in ye zhiqiao''s direction and said softly, "Mr. Ye, I... I want to ask you a favor, but I can''t be heard by my colleagues... Can you... Come to the garage with me?"


    Garage? There were a lot of robberies, kidnappings, assassinations, and now that everyone was gone from work, there might be no one there. Li Qian insisted on bringing her there, and the purpose was self-evident.


    "Sure." Ye zhiqiao smiled kindly, "If I could help you, I wouldn''t have come for nothing today."


    Li Qian was not suspicious of ye zhiqiao''s cooperation, because gu chengyan had said that ye zhiqiao liked to put on a hypocritical mask and pretend to be concerned about the country and the people, so she would not refuse her request.


    The two of them took the elevator to the parking lot on the first floor. As ye zhiqiao had expected, there were only a few cars left. Because of the setting sun, they felt cold as soon as they stepped in, and a layer of goosebumps formed on their arms.


    Just as she was about to lift her arms to warm herself up, her hands were suddenly grabbed by Li Qian opposite her. She subconsciously thought that li qian was about to start a fight, but before she could resist, there was a cry from the opposite side.


    She froze, wondering what the plan was.


    Li Qian began to cry, "Mr. Ye, you must help me. I am here... My life here is too hard. This job... Is simply not done by people..."


    Complaining about work? Ye zhiqiao followed her words and asked, "Is work too tiring?"


    Li Qian nodded hard, then suddenly shook his head and sobbed, "It''s not tiring to do what I originally did, but they... They always give me extra work. If I can''t finish it, I will be punished, but there will be more work next time!"


    "They... Mean?"


    "It''s director gu and a few of her cronies." Li Qian wiped away her tears and tugged at the hem of her clothes to explain, "Those people do whatever they want because director gu likes them. They never take us small staff seriously. They usually let me go to buy breakfast and lunch. They always think I''m stupid and don''t know how to do things without paying."


    At this time, several headlights on the top of the parking lot "Pa" lit up. One of them was right behind ye zhiqiao. She was startled, and Li Qian stopped talking for a while, explaining to her, "The owner of this building only turned on the headlights at this time in order to save money. According to the contract, it should be open all day. Many employees who just arrived here have been frightened. Are you okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao patted her chest and smiled, "Ah, it''s okay. Go on, I''ll listen."


    Li Qian nodded and continued with tears in her eyes, "I''m officially a designer''s assistant in the studio, but they all use me as a waitress. They always ask me to make coffee and collect garbage. Everyone enters the studio at the same time, but they always bully me when they see me being easy to talk to."


    "Yeah, they really went too far." Ye zhiqiao said with a similar feeling. Then he asked, "Have you mentioned these things to director gu? She should help you when she finds out."


    Li Qian curled her lips and said unhappily, "She won''t help me. She only believes what her close friends say and dislikes me for a long time."


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and her voice became serious, "Then she''s going too far! As a manager, she was so blatantly biased towards her subordinates that she could bully others with her own power if she liked them. What she didn''t like had to suffer from such a cowardly complaint?"


    Seeing ye zhiqiao defending herself against injustice, Li Qian immediately said even more happily, "Yes! Sometimes, I just want to quit my job. At the worst, I can put in my resume and find a job. After a few months of hard life, I don''t have to be bullied here anymore. But fortunately, with an old boss like president ye, you can understand my difficulties, so can you help me uphold justice?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was about to ask, "How can I help you uphold justice?" Before he could speak, a dark shadow flashed in the afterglow.

 Chapter 254 Glasses Man

    Under the light from the headlights behind him, a figure holding a long stick was clearly reflected on the ground, and the long stick was aimed at the direction of ye zhiqiao''s head!!


    Before this, ye zhiqiao did not hear a single movement behind her, and Li Qian was standing opposite her, clearly found that the person behind her did not even have a reaction, and still acted according to the original emotions. Ye zhiqiao felt that she was too condescending as a designer assistant, but should be an actor.


    However, ye zhiqiao had no chance to say these words at all, because she noticed that the person in the shadow raised the long stick higher, which was the action of preparing to hit.


    Her first reaction was to bend down, and then the muffled sound of the long stick cutting through the air came. She nimbly dodged and turned around. By the time she turned around, the person holding the long stick had already stood with li qian.


    The man holding the long stick was a man with glasses. He was not strong but also had a strong skeleton of an adult man. Ye zhiqiao carefully examined his face and recognized him as the person who appeared behind gu chengyan this morning.


    The mistake just now seemed to make him a little overwhelmed. Instead of looking at ye zhiqiao, he kept looking at Li Qian beside him.


    Since it was already exposed, there was no need to pretend anymore. Li Qian stretched out his fingers to wipe away the tears. Apart from the reddening of his eyes, how could there be any trace of grievance or sadness on his face?


    She turned her head with slight contempt to glance at the bespectacled man and sneered, "How stupid." Then he faced ye zhiqiao, pointed to the ground and said with admiration, "You are really good. How did you find someone behind you? From the shadow?"


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at her finger and nodded.


    Li Qian laughed bitterly in disappointment and then asked, "What about me? Do you believe me? You''re not surprised at all. I don''t think you believe me, do you?"


    Her acting skills were impeccable. If ye zhiqiao didn''t know gu chengyan''s plan in advance, she might really fall for it, but in order to prevent li qian from reporting to gu chengyan, she couldn''t say anything.


    "I believed it." Ye zhiqiao said calmly, "But when we walked over, you said you didn''t have a car, and then you said the parking lot regulations and the time when the headlights were on so accurately, so I..."


    "Oh, you''re so smart."


    Li Qian clapped his hands and smiled. He was still as lively and cute as ever, but he didn''t fit in with his dark heart. "Since you know all about it, then let''s get to the bottom of it. I''ve long had a problem with you, so I have to deal with you today."


    After that, she winked at the bespectacled man, who understood and pretended to walk towards ye zhiqiao.


    "Wait a minute!" Ye zhi coincidentally raised her hand to stop her. She turned her head a few times and said quickly, "I answered two of your questions just now. In return, you should answer two of my questions. Anyway, everyone''s gone. You two are in pairs, and one is a man. I don''t have a chance to run or call for help, do I?"


    Hearing this, the man with the eyes once again turned to Li Qian.


    Li Qian carefully considered ye zhiqiao''s words, perhaps because he was too confident in his own situation, and actually agreed, "Well, but you have to ask quickly. If I find out that you deliberately delayed time, I will let him do it immediately."


    "Okay, okay." Ye zhiqiao agreed and asked first, "You said you didn''t like me, so I wanted to ask you why you didn''t like me. As far as I know, you haven''t worked in the headquarters, have you? It doesn''t make sense for you to hate me for no reason, whether it''s work or life."


    Li Qian naturally knew that such a reason did not make sense, but she did not know what ye zhiqiao meant when she asked this question. As long as she had the courage to answer, "Do you need any reason to hate someone? I''m upset when I see your face, and I''m disgusted when I see you flaunting your power in the place where we work, so I''ll teach you a lesson on behalf of my colleagues, okay?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her expression and knew without thinking that she was lying. What do you hate about her? It was clearly under gu chengyan''s instructions!


    "Since you hate me so much, what you''ve been complaining about is a lie, right? Gu chengyan didn''t bully you, did he?"


    Suddenly mentioning gu chengyan, Li Qian''s eyes clearly flashed with panic, but he still pretended to be tough and replied, "Is this the second question?"


    This time it was ye zhiqiao''s turn to choke. She did not expect Li Qian to be a few soldiers by her, but she did not panic at all. But even so, she was not young enough to give up easily. It wasn''t a big deal to lose today, but gu chengyan couldn''t get away with it. She had to dig out the mastermind from the two people in front of her!


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and denied, "Of course not. Just asking."


    Li Qian snorted, "Then hurry up and ask the second question."


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and looked away from Li Qian, then turned to the silent man with glasses.


    "I know you."


    When she said this without a head or tail, the man with glasses was immediately confused. He subconsciously glanced at Li Qian and saw that the latter had no reaction. He pointed at himself and asked ye zhiqiao, "You said me?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "That''s right. When your resume was sent to the headquarters, a lot of us were looking around. Very few people can achieve such an outstanding university and the award-winning experience in university."


    The spectacled man seemed embarrassed by her compliment and scratched his head and whispered, "Actually not..."


    "Ye zhiqiao!" Li Qian suddenly interrupted the spectacled man with a clear smile on his lips, "You don''t have to find a break in him. He''s honest, but now he only listens to me, just like I told him to hit you just now."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes turned and helplessly spread out her hands. The bespectacled man was obviously a bookworm who had been reading stupidly, so it would be easier to start with him than with Li Qian.


    Ye zhiqiao wouldn''t give up this opportunity, so she asked the man with glasses, "Li Qian said you listened to her, so who did you listen to in the studio? It should be director gu."


    The spectacled man also seemed to realize that the situation was not right, but his mind was not enough to deal with this, so he looked at Li Qian again.


    Li qian saw that ye zhiqiao seemed to have seen something and could not cope with it, so she raised her voice and ordered, "Don''t answer her, just do it!" !!!


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised. She didn''t expect them to jump over the wall!


    The spectacled man followed Li Qian''s orders and raised his long stick to walk towards ye zhiqiao...

 Chapter 255 Be It Alive or Dead?

    A long stick with a thick forearm slowly approached her. Ye zhiqiao stepped back step by step. Her palms were filled with sweat, but the shadows on the ground were getting closer and closer. Just as ye zhiqiao was about to reach the gray wall and could not retreat, a series of messy footsteps came from not far away, followed by a loud drink!


    "Don''t move!!"


    Ye zhiqiao, the man with glasses, and Li Qian, who was watching the show with his arms folded, looked at the source of the sound. They saw two figures, one white and one black, rushing over like lightning. Before the three of them could react, the white figure had kicked the man with his eyes open and returned to take ye zhiqiao into his arms.


    The man with eyes was not strong at all, and he was suddenly attacked, so there was no room for resistance, and he was kicked out a few meters away. After that, he couldn''t get up for half a day and only bent over his body and covered his stomach with his hands, wailing in pain.


    Qin Baiye chased after him and put on a few more feet, then asked Li Qian to stand next to the man with eyes.


    Li Qian did not dare to make a fuss at the sight of it. He immediately went over obediently. He did not dare to take a look at the eye man''s injury and just stood there with his head down.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao''s tight nerves had relaxed. Gu mohan felt her move lightly and released her arm. Then he looked her up and down and asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and winked at gu mohan, signaling him to look at the two men first.


    "Yeah." Gu mohan agreed and walked over with her.


    After a few minutes of rest, the spectacled man seemed to have recovered a little. Although the expression on his face was still painful, he slowly got up.


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at him and finally set her eyes on Li Qian. Still, her calm voice had a frightening aura, "Can you answer my question now?"


    "!"


    Li Qian was startled and looked at her with a frown, his face full of undisguised panic. If she said it out, she would definitely die miserably, but if she didn''t say it, she would definitely suffer. What should she do?


    Her hesitation was all in ye zhiqiao''s eyes. Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and threatened, "A good man doesn''t suffer at the moment. Instead of doing bad things with gu chengyan, it''s better to give up the dark and turn to the light. As long as you help us identify gu chengyan, I promise that you can continue to work in the studio, even if you let bygones be bygones for what you just did. But if you don''t want to, I can''t guarantee it."


    "I... We..." Li qian opened her mouth, turned her head to look at the man with glasses, and then said as if she had made up her mind, "Okay, I''ll tell you everything."


    Hearing her promise, ye zhiqiao immediately became happy and subconsciously smiled at gu mohan beside her, but the next second, her shoulder was pushed violently, and her body uncontrollably rushed towards gu mohan!


    Li Qian pushed ye zhiqiao and ran towards the exit without hesitation. The man with the eyes had just received instructions when she turned her head and immediately followed her out.


    Qin Baiye was originally standing behind the two of them, and immediately wanted to chase after them. Gu mohan, who was holding ye zhiqiao, stopped him and said, "Forget it. Don''t chase."


    Qin Baiye was puzzled, "Just let them run away?"


    "They must be sent by gu chengyan. As long as they are in his hands, gu chengyan can''t deny it." Ye zhiqiao also said eagerly.


    Gu mohan shook his head and narrowed his dark eyes, "They won''t say anything. Besides, they are just a small pawn of gu chengyan''s. There is no need to waste energy on them. Let''s just conserve our energy and wait for gu chengyan''s next move."


    On the other side, Li Qian and the spectacled man ran frantically until they broke through the door and rushed into gu chengyan''s office before bending over and panting with their hands over their chests.


    Gu chengyan was startled by the two of them and quickly walked out from behind the desk, pulling li qian and asking, "What''s wrong?!"


    Before li qian could catch her breath, she said weakly, "Ye zhi... Ye zhi coincidentally found out... We were just... About to do something... When gu mohan brought someone... Over..."


    "What!" Gu chengyan''s eyes widened, and the wrinkles in his eyelids deepened, making him look terrifying in the dark.


    "Did she recognize you?" Gu chengyan subconsciously asked this question, but after he finished asking, he replied to himself, "It must be someone he knew. You tricked her out of the studio. She won''t be confused."


    Li Qian recovered and bowed his head to apologize, "I''m sorry, director gu. I didn''t do a good job. I was too careless."


    "Of course it''s your fault!" Gu chengyan pointed at the man with glasses and said with a straight face, "I was just afraid that his brain would not be enough. I specially sent you to help. I didn''t expect you to be so useless!"


    Gu chengyan had already panicked and scolded the two of them angrily and anxiously, but his fear did not ease.


    If she had guessed correctly, ye zhiqiao would have guessed that she was the mastermind by now, so that means, no matter what the result of this time, she would not be able to leave as completely as before.


    Stop, it''s too late.


    Her eyes became fierce in an instant. She picked up the phone at hand and dialed it, "Bring more skilled ones to the underground parking lot. Bring ye zhiqiao to me, alive or dead."


    Less than ten minutes after the call, seven or eight burly men appeared in the parking lot. They walked in a row, each with tattoos on their bodies. The muscles bulging out of their arms exposed to the air were like hills, heading straight towards ye zhiqiao and the other three.


    Ye zhiqiao was about to persuade gu Mohan to run away, but gu mohan had already pinned her down behind a car.


    "Gu mohan!" She lowered her voice and struggled.


    Gu mohan stretched out his index finger to stand on his lips and made a "Shh" gesture. He leaned over and smiled at her. His voice was soft and comforting, "Don''t be afraid. Qin Baiye and I have been fighting since we were kids. We only win and don''t lose. It''s not a problem to deal with them."


    "But..." Ye zhiqiao admitted that he also had muscles, and fighting was not bad, but he and Qin Baiye only had two people, and the number of the other party made them several times, how could they win!


    Before ye zhiqiao could express her concern, Qin Baiye had already taken off his suit and tie, and loosened the buttons of his shirt. He was rolling up his sleeves and smiling at gu Mohan. After sitting in the office for a few years, you can''t fight with real guns anymore, can you? Practice?"


    Gu mohan patted ye zhiqiao on the head, straightened up and walked towards Qin Baiye, bumping into his shoulder and saying, "Practice!"

 Chapter 256 The Soldiers Split into Two Paths

    Gu mohan and Qin Baiye stood side by side against a few hitters.


    It wasn''t just who went up first. In a blink of an eye, the men''s got together. The thugs were wearing black t-shirts, while gu mohan and Qin Baiye were wearing white shirts. Ye zhi happened to be a few meters away from them, but she could not see the movements of the crowd clearly. She could only see two white figures moving in a group of black.


    The sound of fists hitting flesh, shouting, pain... The frightening sound was infinitely amplified in the quiet and empty underground parking lot. As the echo rushed into her ears, ye zhiqiao shook uncontrollably.


    Her phone was tightly held in her hand. Several times, she had already pressed the number of the police station, but it stopped when she clicked on the call.


    Just now, gu mohan had said that this was the best time to seize gu chengyan and never call the police, because if the police arrived, gu chengyan would immediately withdraw when he heard the news. When she was in the dark and they were in the light, it would be even more difficult to deal with them.


    "Aye!" Ye zhiqiao shook her head in anger. She wanted to make a call but couldn''t. After struggling for a few minutes, she looked up again at the fighting crowd.


    At first glance, she could not help but exclaim!


    On the opposite side of the ground, several pained thugs had fallen, and gu Mohan and Qin Baiye were surrounding the last thugs.


    The hitman was probably aware of his current situation, and his bruised face was covered in shivers. He noticed that when Qin Baiye approached him, his legs fell to the ground and he began to pretend to be dead.


    Gu mohan and Qin Baiye turned from looking at each other in the beginning to laughing and crying.


    Qin Baiye still stepped forward and gave him a kick, laughing and scolding, "What a coward!"


    However, Qin Baiye''s smile directly pulled the wound on his face. Then he covered his side face with a hiss and kicked the man again. "Who hit me so hard just now, son of a bitch?" He said angrily."


    The "Innocent" thug was wronged by the extra kick, but he remained motionless and continued to play dead.


    Ye zhiqiao had already taken advantage of this time to run over. She originally thought of gu mohan''s side, but when she noticed Qin Baiye''s movements, she observed Qin Baiye''s injuries and asked worriedly, "How is your injury?"


    Qin Baiye waved his hand in a manly manner and asked ye zhiqiao to take care of gu mohan. After ye zhiqiao left, he covered his face again and continued to vent his anger with the thugs on the ground.


    Qin Baiye''s face was covered in color, and gu mohan was no better than him. His nose was bleeding a lot and the bridge of his nose was almost crooked, but these were only visible on the outside. The real pain was in his abdomen and the piercing pain in his left rib. He even suspected that his rib had been broken.


    However, when he saw ye zhiqiao coming over, he immediately relaxed his expression and smiled, "I said you can win. Is your man strong?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally gave him an angry look, but her tone was obviously distressed: "There''s still blood under your nose."


    As she spoke, ye zhiqiao took out a tissue from her pocket and carefully gave it to him for his fresh blood. Then she asked, "Where else was injured? Show me."


    "It''s gone..." Gu mohan kept waving his hand in order not to let ye zhiqiao doubt him, but secretly he bared his teeth in pain.


    "Really? Don''t lie to me." Ye zhiqiao asked again.


    Gu mohan gave her a reassuring look, "Qin Baiye is fine. How can I be inferior to him?"


    Fortunately, Qin Baiye was on the phone to call someone. Otherwise, if he heard this, he would have to fight with him again.


    Qin Baiye called his assistant. They couldn''t call the police, but they could send the thugs to the police station. After that, he walked over and said to gu mohan, "It''s all arranged. Come over right away."


    Gu mohan nodded and said politely, "Thank you."


    "Get lost." Qin Baiye replied lightly, then found a quiet step to sit down and rest.


    Not long after, Qin Baiye''s assistant drove over with a few bodyguards and dragged a few hitters who had almost lost their mobility into the car.


    Qin Baiye''s assistant came over and asked, "President qin, if you want to send them to the police station, you need the client to take a statement. Which one of you will come over?"


    Just as gu mohan was about to say "Let''s go together," the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.


    He raised his hand to signal everyone to wait and pick up the phone.


    "Gu mohan? Go back to zhiqiao''s apartment. Something happened to little treasure!"


    Opposite was jian mengqi''s voice. Because of the special parking lot environment, her nervous voice was magnified several times. Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao immediately surrounded her after hearing it.


    Gu mohan frowned and asked, "What happened to her?"


    "Little treasure just fell down and hit his head on the coffee table, leaving a lot of blood. It seems very serious!"


    "Okay, we''ll go back. You take her to the hospital first." As he spoke, gu mohan prepared to get in the car.


    "No, no!" But jian mengqi suddenly refused, "I can''t take her there now. Just now, there was something strange at home. If I take little treasure alone, something might happen..." This is why she didn''t call ye zhiqiao and directly informed gu mohan.!!!


    Several people on the other side of the phone looked at each other in panic. Gu mohan immediately said, "Okay, I understand. Then don''t go out for the time being. If someone knocks on the door, don''t open it either. I''ll send a bodyguard over now. We''ll go back immediately."


    Jian mengqi said she knew.


    Gu mohan hung up the phone and glanced at Qin Baiye and ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhi coincidentally knew what he was hesitating about. He must have gone back when something happened to little treasure, and the police department still needed someone to take a statement. Qin Baiye was a man and jian mengqi''s boyfriend, so it would be more appropriate for him to go back with gu mohan.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao decided for him, "You and Qin Baiye should go back first. I will take a statement and meet you at the hospital later."


    It was an emergency, and it was not a time to push and struggle. Gu mohan only considered it for a moment and agreed to ye zhiqiao''s arrangement.


    Then, gu mohan and Qin Baiye drove their cars to ye zhiqiao''s apartment, while ye zhiqiao drove in the opposite direction.


    At this time, jian mengqi was looking for medical boxes all over the room. She spent a long time trying to find them in the cabinet in the study. When she saw the blood flowing from little treasure''s head, her hands and feet trembled with fear. She had never learned first aid, nor did she know how to bandage the wound. The more anxious she was, the more she couldn''t think of a solution. She could only wipe the blood from little treasure''s forehead with a towel.

 Chapter 257 Strange Doorbell Ringing

    "Aunt jane, don''t be afraid. Little treasure doesn''t hurt very much." Seeing that jian mengqi was so frightened that her lips were all white, little treasure wisely braced up his spirit and comforted her, "It hurt a little when I bumped into it just now, and it really doesn''t hurt anymore."


    Jian mengqi wanted to hug her, but she was afraid of pulling her wound, so she could only say with tears in her eyes and regret, "It''s okay, auntie is not afraid. If it hurts, it''s okay to shout it out. We can''t go out yet, but auntie has already called your father. He will be here soon."


    Little treasure smiled weakly and closed his eyes again to rest.


    Jian mengqi covered her mouth to keep her tears from falling, when the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Her heart suddenly alarmed, telling little treasure to sit still, then she got up and walked out of the bedroom to the door.


    The moment she saw gu mohan and Qin Baiye through the door mirror, her soul finally returned to her body, and her hands trembled with excitement when she opened the door.


    "Where''s little treasure?" Gu mohan rushed in and asked.


    Jian mengqi pointed to the bedroom, then her body softened and was supported by Qin Baiye who came in next.


    Seeing little treasure''s injury, the three of them couldn''t care less about what to say, so they went downstairs and drove to the hospital.


    In the car, jian mengqi told gu mohan and Qin Baiye the story.


    "I was playing with little treasure in the bedroom when I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was strange. Instead of opening the door as usual, I looked out through the door mirror..."


    Qin Baiye interrupted, "What''s so strange about it?"


    Jian mengqi frowned and replied, "It''s strange to knock on the door. Gu mohan and zhi qiao both have keys. You ring the doorbell every time you go. You never knock."


    Qin Baiye could not refute her answer and raised his hand to let her continue.


    "Then I looked out through the door mirror, but it was really scary. It was empty outside and there was no one at all!" Even with such memories, jian mengqi had goose bumps all over her body.


    Gu mohan looked through the rearview mirror and asked, "Could it be a mistake?"


    ... I don''t think so. Jian mengqi shook her head and explained, "I didn''t make a sound in the past. After that, the man knocked on the door for half a day. Every time I went to see him, I couldn''t see him. I couldn''t have gone wrong."


    Qin Baiye agreed with her judgment, "If it''s true as you said, the person who knocked on the door should be standing by the door. As long as you open the door, he will rush in immediately, so you''re doing the right thing."


    "Huh-" jian mengqi let out a deep breath and said with a sad face, "Why am I not happy to hear you praise me this time? I''m really scared to death... Oh yes!"


    Jian mengqi suddenly thought of something. She leaned on the back of the front seat and apologized to gu mohan pitifully, "I''m sorry, I didn''t take good care of little treasure. Scold me. I won''t answer back."


    Gu mohan looked at little treasure, who was still bleeding, and shook his head, "Little treasure''s injury was an accident. I don''t blame you. Besides, if it weren''t for you, little treasure''s situation might have been worse than it is now."


    With gu mohan''s understanding, jian mengqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she thought to herself that when she saw ye zhiqiao, she must apologize to her again.


    Soon after arriving at the hospital, little treasure was carried to the emergency room by the doctors and nurses. Gu mohan was accompanied by his family, while jian mengqi and Qin Baiye waited in the corridor outside.


    But not long after, Qin Baiye received a report call from his assistant and immediately went in to call gu mohan out.


    Gu mohan followed behind him in a hurry and looked inside restlessly until Qin Baiye told him about the assistant''s report. He froze in shock.


    "You said... Zhiqiao was... Kidnapped?" Gu mohan asked incredulously.


    Qin Baiye''s face was heavy as well, "My assistant said that they came out of the police station together. Ye zhiqiao wanted to go to the bathroom. They were all old men and couldn''t follow. The thugs were caught. He thought nothing would happen again and waited by the roadside. But suddenly he heard a scream. When he turned around, ye zhiqiao was already stuffed into the car by two people. They immediately drove to chase after her, but... They were thrown away."


    "She was taken away... In the police bathroom?" Gu mohan asked in a deep voice.


    Qin Baiye sighed and guessed, "I think it was when I walked out of the road and was caught by someone who was hiding there. Gu chengyan hates her so much. There must be a way to catch her."


    If ye zhi happened to fall into gu chengyan''s hands, the result would be unimaginable!


    Gu mohan clenched his fists nervously and raised his legs to rush out, but after a few steps he stopped abruptly.


    Little treasure is still in the emergency room. He''s gone. What about little treasure?


    Seeing that he was worried about little treasure, jian mengqi quickly volunteered and promised, "You can rest assured. Now Zhiqiao is the most important. I will take good care of little treasure here and never let her have any accidents again. Moreover, the hospital is a public place, and gu chengyan wouldn''t dare to do anything even if he was crazy."


    ... Then... Please! Gu mohan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.


    Then he left the hospital with Qin Baiye.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was half lying in the back seat of a car. Her body was tightly tied and her mouth was sealed. She could not move even if she struggled desperately.


    The kidnapper who was in charge of her said to the two men in the front row, "Big brother, second brother, this woman is really strong. She has been twisting since she got in the car. She still has strength after walking so far!"


    The second brother of the kidnapper who was driving "Cut" and asked maliciously, "What do you mean by'' physical strength''?"


    As he said those ambiguous words, the other two kidnappers in the car laughed obscenely. Ye zhiqiao, who was huddled in the corner, closed her eyes tightly and her cheeks turned red from humiliation.


    The second brother of the kidnapper said again, "By the way, third brother, this little girl is very tough. You should take out her phone quickly, or she will find the opportunity to call."


    "Hey!"


    The third kidnapper in the back answered happily, his voice full of undisguised excitement.


    The phone was in the pocket of her clothes, and that position was touched by this man... When ye zhiqiao thought about it, she felt disgusted and immediately cried out.


    "What the hell are you yelling at?!" The third kidnapper patted her thigh and stroked her waist with a dirty smile." Call again?" Believe it or not, I told you to scream louder. You can''t stop even if you want to?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s body stiffened and glared at the man in front of her. She was sure that if she could move now, even if the net was broken, she would never let him go!!

 Chapter 258 Its All Fake

    "Okay, I got it."


    Gu mohan put away his phone and said to Qin Baiye in the other car through the window, "I sent someone to investigate the military green jeep that your assistant described. The car is still driving on the viaduct. My people will send the exact location immediately. Just drive with me."


    Qin Baiye promised and immediately started the car.


    One black and one white cars drove out of the hospital gate one after another. Gu mohan followed the location of his phone to the viaduct, then found that the jeep had moved to the city center a kilometer away, so he had to turn around and drive towards the city center.


    This time, the jeep was still in the city center when they arrived. According to the assistant, it was heading for the overpass.


    Gu mohan knocked on the steering wheel excitedly and took a short cut to wait under the overpass. Not long after, a military green jeep came in front of him!


    Without even thinking about it, he ran straight towards the jeep. The people in the jeep seemed to realize that gu mohan was coming at a fierce speed and turned a corner in advance, trying to escape from a small path on the street.


    Qin Baiye immediately stopped the jeep and laid the whole car on the road. All kinds of cars whistled and people complained about Qin Baiye''s behavior, but at the same time, the jeep had no way to escape.


    Seeing that the speed of the jeep had slowed down, gu mohan was overjoyed and was about to step on the brakes when he saw that the jeep had suddenly spun around and then sped up like a madman, heading straight in his direction!


    Between the sparks and sparks, gu mohan could guess the psychology of the driver, probably to scare him and make him give up his seat. But for ye zhiqiao, gu mohan would never give up again.


    He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the jeep approaching him, ready to turn the steering wheel violently the moment it turned and pin it to the car.


    Qin Baiye also rushed over to help Mohan.


    The distance between the two cars was getting closer and closer. Gu mohan could even clearly see the man in the front row of the jeep through the headlights. The two of them looked at each other through the front window, fighting not only their eyes, but also their minds.


    That man was also a ruthless character. Seeing that gu Mohan didn''t hide and wasn''t ready to back off, he just ran into him without caring.


    Bang!!"


    With a loud noise, the people on the street started to cry out in alarm.


    By the time Qin Baiye arrived, the two cars had already collided. Gu mohan''s black car had been knocked out more than ten meters, and the jeep had also stopped at the side of the black car.


    His first reaction was to visit gu Mohan, but when he ran over, gu mohan had already opened the door and got out of the car. As gu mohan appeared in the view of the crowd, he once again caused a wave of exclamations.


    Qin Baiye frowned at the blood on his face and helped him open the back seat of the jeep.


    No ye zhiqiao was found.


    Then the two of them understood something and walked quickly to the trunk, slowly opening the trunk -!!!


    No?!


    Not at all!!


    The two of them looked at each other. Gu mohan''s blood-stained face matched his frightened expression. Qin Baiye''s injured arm looked heavy.


    They all understood that they had been tricked.


    "Ye zhiqiao-"


    Gu mohan suddenly raised his head and roared, scaring the passers-by around him into backing off. He was deceived and couldn''t find ye zhiqiao. Otherwise, ye zhiqiao could hear his voice now and be protected in his arms.


    Gu mohan slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground.


    He fainted from injury, and ye zhiqiao had already been taken to a rental house in the old city by three kidnappers. However, although she could not be protected by gu mohan in her arms, she really heard gu mohan''s voice.


    The recording pen on the kidnapper''s desk made a sharp sound, and then gu mohan''s distinctive clear voice came out.


    "I don''t like her... Yes, it''s ye zhiqiao... Heh! It''s just a little designer. If it weren''t for little treasure liking her, she wouldn''t even be qualified to be my nanny..."


    There was another sharp sound, and the recording was over.


    The second kidnapper picked up the recording pen and lifted ye zhiqiao''s chin. "How does it taste, miss ye?" He asked sarcastically. Even being a nanny is not worth it... Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, why would he have the heart to say such hurtful things when you said you were so good-looking?"


    Ye zhiqiao was forced to look up, but her eyes were clear and firm. "Fake." She concluded calmly.


    The kidnapper froze, then immediately put away his surprised expression and asked, "Why do you think this is fake? To tell you the truth, our boss recorded it himself!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly at the words and showed a pitying expression on her face, "Then I don''t know whether to say you are stupid or your boss is stupid."


    "What are you talking about?!!" When the third kidnapper heard her say this, he immediately rushed over to teach her a lesson. The boss stopped him, raised his chin and pointed to the laptop opposite him, and ordered, "Put that."


    As soon as the boss reminded him, the kidnapper''s third brother immediately understood and laughed twice. He walked to the table and said to ye zhiqiao provocatively, "Our eldest brother is still smart. After reading this, you have to believe it if you don''t believe it."


    Ye zhiqiao snorted and silently watched what else he could do.


    The laptop was turned on, and the kidnapper''s third brother fumbled for a long time before opening the only video file on it. After a few seconds of buffering, the small screen of the video began to play.


    As expected, the main character in the video was gu mohan, and gu Mohan was leaning against a hot woman.


    The background should be in a bar or something. With the dim light, you could vaguely see that gu mohan was drinking, and the woman next to him suddenly whispered something into his ear. Then gu mohan''s shoulder shrugged and laughed. He held the woman''s face and kissed her.


    Then there were a few intimate scenes of gu mohan and the woman until the video stopped.


    Ye zhiqiao stared coldly at the screen from beginning to end and then lowered her eyes gently.


    She had to admit that she was heartbroken. Although she kept emphasizing that the video and recording were fake and that gu mohan would never betray her, after listening to the recording and seeing such a scene, she inevitably felt sad and sad.


    If you love someone, even if you see a little intimacy with another woman, you will feel uncomfortable, even if it is fake.


    Because she lowered her head and the kidnappers couldn''t see her expression, they deliberately asked, "What''s going on? Is this a reply? We are all men. Can we not understand men? No matter how beautiful you are, you can''t make a man give up on you for the rest of his life."

 Chapter 259 The Second "door"

    The three of them laughed again.


    Ye zhiqiao held back her tears and looked up, trying to maintain a calm tone, "Don''t waste your energy. I can see that it''s all fake. The recording is fake, and the video is fake."


    "...


    She concluded that the three kidnappers were blindfolded.


    These things were indeed fake, as gu chengyan had said when he handed them over, and gu chengyan also said that these were done by professionals early on, and it was impossible for ordinary people to distinguish them. But how could this woman in front of her be so sure that she was fake after just one look?


    The third was the first to lose his composure. He raised his voice and asked, "Are you a professional? This is true! Really!"


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and did not answer.


    The kidnapper boss looked at ye zhiqiao carefully for a long time. In a trance, he seemed to see that her eyes were red, and his heart immediately understood that this woman had a hard mouth and a soft heart. In fact, he had long believed her.


    He pretended to be sad and sighed, smacking his lips and muttering to himself, "It''s all right. It''s good if you don''t believe me. I''ve been living in a fantasy, thinking that that man cares about you and will always be your best friend. The more stupid a person is, the more comfortable he will be."


    Hearing his words, ye zhiqiao''s nose suddenly soured, and she blinked hard to barely cry.


    The leader of the kidnapper watched her from the corner of his eye and realized that his goal had been achieved. He ordered the second and third brothers who were still out of the situation to pack up their things and send someone out to buy food.


    It was dark now, and it was ten o'' clock in the evening. They had not eaten since they received the mission, and they were already hungry, and this woman on the ground had to eat.


    The three of them discussed it, and the last one sent to buy food was the second kidnapper, because he was the strongest and most agile of the three, and if there were any accidents on the road, he would be the easiest to escape.


    When the three of them became two, ye zhiqiao''s nerves immediately tensed up because she thought it was an excellent opportunity to escape.


    In fact, from a normal point of view, there were two kidnappers present, or even only one kidnapper left. It was not a wise choice to run at this time. Even if you run, you should wait until late at night, preferably in the morning. The biological clock of the human body was the most powerful at that time. The kidnappers would not care much about a woman. They would definitely sleep.


    But ye zhiqiao couldn''t wait any longer.


    Just now, jian mengqi said on the phone that the incident of little treasure''s injury had been entangled in her heart, and that the words in and out of jian mengqi''s words indicated that little treasure might be in danger, which made her even more worried. When she came out of the police station, she was ready to go straight to the hospital, but she was robbed here by these three kidnappers. She didn''t dare to show it, but her heart was still filled with worry.


    No matter what, she must get out as soon as possible. She can''t wait any longer, even if there is only a tiny chance, she can''t miss it!


    "San'' er, look after her. I''ll go take a piss." The leader of the kidnapper suddenly said to the third brother.


    Ye zhiqiao froze and stared unblinkingly at the kidnapper''s figure until he approached the bathroom of the rented house and closed the door.


    Right now!


    Ye zhiqiao said to herself in her heart.


    Since entering the rented house, in order to prevent her blood from clogging up, the kidnappers took off many of the zongzi ropes she was tied to, leaving only one to tie her hands behind her back, so she could stand up now, or run.


    Most importantly, the door of the rented house was opened as if it were outside. The other two did not plug in the door after the second kidnapper left, which meant that as long as they could run to the door, they could directly use their bodies to open the door, saving the time to open the door.


    The kidnapper boss shouldn''t be in the toilet for long. She must seize the opportunity!


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao closed her eyes forcefully and secretly cheered herself up. Then she raised her head and tried her best to put on a painful look and said, "My leg hurts so much. This big brother, can you help me stand up for a while?"


    The third kidnapper glanced at her hesitantly, then slowly lowered his gaze and landed on her bent legs.


    It was cold and gloomy to be close to the wall, and it was normal for them to feel pain after being bent for so long. Besides, these women were always busy...


    With this thought, his suspicions were completely dispelled, and he bent over to hold ye zhiqiao''s arm, ready to take her up.


    Just as his hand was about to touch ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao looked at the right time and made a sharp dodge. She bent her elbow and pointed it at his abdomen.


    "Ow!!!"


    As the third kidnapper howled through the sky, ye zhiqiao bounced her body, stood up, and ran to the door.


    The yellow wooden door was getting closer and closer... Closer and closer...


    She swore that this must be the fastest time in her life. She had even heard the kidnapper boss break through the bathroom door, but the yellow wooden door was right in front of her!


    She closed her eyes, not slowing down at all, and ran right into her -


    The wooden door was knocked open by her, but before she could be happy, her body hit a hard object again!


    Her skinny body bounced back in an instant, and she sat down on the ground, her fingers touching something, a piercing pain.


    The thing in front of her was blurry, and the yellow and white stars flashed in front of her. She knew that she was knocked unconscious and was staggering to get up and run away. Suddenly, there was a strong male voice above her head.


    "Want to run? Death!" !!!


    Her body shook and her neck stiffened.


    This voice... Was going out to buy food... The second kidnapper! So the second time she bumped into the body of the second kidnapper!!


    "Ah!! Let go of me! Help!"


    As she screamed, the second kidnapper lifted her into the house like a chicken. It was in the corner just now that he slammed her to the ground.


    "Uh-" her tailbone was hit twice in a row, and she was in so much pain that tears were coming out, but she didn''t dare to cry, because when she looked up, she saw the kidnappers''second and third eyes staring at her fiercely.


    Her heart suddenly tightened. She knew that what had happened just now had enraged the kidnappers, and the kidnappers who had the power of life and death in the face of the fleeing hostages would never be soft-hearted.


    The second kidnapper had already picked up an iron bar from the table. It was more than a meter long, and it was frightening just to look at it.

 Chapter 260 The Dispute Between the Kidnappers

    Ye zhiqiao closed her eyes in despair, and the last thing she saw before she closed her eyes was the kidnapper''s slow steps.


    The iron rod drove the air, and the broken airflow gave out a sharp roar. Ye zhiqiao waited for the sharp pain to attack, but one second later... Two seconds later... Three seconds later... The expected pain did not come.


    The kidnapper''s boss''s deep voice came, "We can''t fight. If something happens to her, none of us can take responsibility."


    Ye zhiqiao opened her eyes in surprise and saw the kidnapper''s boss holding the kidnapper''s second arm tightly. The two of them looked at each other, and the air in the middle was filled with a terrible smell.


    "She ran away." It took a long time for the second kidnapper to squeeze out these three words through his teeth.


    The third came over and agreed, "That''s right, big brother. She lied to me. It just hit me in the stomach. If I go down a little more, I''ll be ruined for the rest of my life. It doesn''t make sense not to let second brother teach her a lesson!"


    "What do you know?!" The boss reprimanded him, then turned around and continued to persuade the second kidnapper, "She is the person the boss wants. We can only follow the boss''s orders. If there is anything else, we can''t do it."


    "Boss? Big brother, you weren''t so afraid before. The boss''s mother is nothing. Where can she find us if we run away with the money?"


    The boss stared at him and said word by word, "After running this time, believe it or not, you will never be able to eat this meal again."


    His voice was not loud, but his words were written with needles. Each of them was stuck in the hearts of the other two.


    Every industry has its own rules, and so do kidnappers. Once they are hired, they must be loyal. Once they break the rules and lose their reputation, they will never have a master to come to them. Even if they do, it will be difficult to get money again.


    They pointed at this mouthful of rice to live. If it was gone, there really was nothing left.


    They all knew that, but the second kidnapper still felt that he was too rigid, "I just taught her a lesson, but I didn''t really run away with the money."


    "No extra movement will do."


    The leader of the kidnapper put down this sentence, then turned around and sat down at the table, took out a box of rice and started eating.


    The second and third kidnappers looked at each other and sneered in disapproval, but ye zhiqiao, they did not move again.


    The three kidnappers never left after that. Perhaps because of this, they felt that ye zhiqiao could never escape again, so they relaxed a lot. After the door was plugged in, the second and third gathered to eat together, but none of them paid attention to the boss, nor did they bring food for ye zhiqiao.


    The boss knew that they were unhappy, so he followed their wishes and did not give ye zhi qiao a meal.


    However, ye zhiqiao was not hungry. Before returning to her studio in the evening, gu mohan had just invited her to a big meal. At this time, she smelled the smell of oil and dust floating in the air. She had no appetite at all, and even felt a little nauseous.


    But food can be skipped, not trapped here. Ye zhiqiao tightened the little thing with a hint of coolness on her fingertips, and her brain worked rapidly. An idea gradually took shape.


    "I want to eat!" She suddenly shouted loudly.


    The kidnapper''s second brother was so angry that he immediately shouted at her, "What the hell! If you''re hungry, you eat the wall!"


    Even if ye zhiqiao was scolded, she didn''t care. She still raised her voice and said, "I just want to eat. Normal people can''t stand it until now. Besides, you threw me around before. If I don''t eat, I will faint!"


    "Dizzy!" The second kidnapper''s patience was reaching its limit, and he threatened fiercely, "If you keep yelling, I''ll kill you!"


    This was what ye zhiqiao was waiting for. Naturally, she would not shut up. Instead, she squeezed her throat and screamed even more sharply, "No!!! I want to eat, you bastards! I won''t let you go if I don''t eat! Damn it..."


    Her shouts came to a sudden halt as the kidnapper''s second brother walked towards her angrily.


    "You want to eat, don''t you?" The second kidnapper grabbed her hair and forced her to look up at his face.


    Her eyes were as close as a hungry wolf''s. Ye zhiqiao''s frightened lips were trembling slightly, but she still shrank her neck and nodded her head slowly.


    The second kidnapper was thoroughly enraged. Facing such an uninteresting woman, he had only one way.


    But when he raised his fist, the kidnapper boss stopped him again, "No, second brother!"


    From ye zhiqiao''s point of view, it was clear that the kidnapper er er forced himself to close his eyes. As he closed his eyes, the facial muscles on both sides of his nose twitched violently twice, and the grinding of teeth could be heard under his tightly pressed lips.


    It was obvious that he was angry, not only because of ye zhiqiao, but also because of the kidnapper boss who had long disliked him.


    "Big brother..." His voice was full of forbearance, but it still couldn''t hide his anger, "It was just a punch to her. It wasn''t for her life. There''s no need to be so serious, right?"


    "I just said..."


    "What did you say?!!" The second kidnapper finally couldn''t stand it. He turned around and stepped in front of the boss. He pointed at his nose from top to bottom and asked," what the hell did you say? Why should I listen to you?! Let me tell you, because you are so many years older than us, we respect you as a big brother, but don''t be shameless!"


    He pointed back at ye zhiqiao and continued to gnash his teeth, "What''s her relationship with you? How are you protecting her? Have you taken a fancy to this little girl? Stop daydreaming. I can''t wait to throw you into jail for skinning and cramping!"


    After a round of shouting, he fixed his gaze on the boss, trying to get a response from the other party.


    Ye zhiqiao also looked at them with good eyes. She naturally hoped that the boss would talk back. Otherwise, how could they quarrel, how could they make a big fuss, and how could she run away? Besides, the leader of the kidnapper was questioned and insulted in front of his third brother and her hostage. If he didn''t punish the second brother of the kidnapper, what would he do next?


    What she never expected was that the kidnapper''s boss only frowned and asked, "Are you comfortable? When you''re comfortable, sit down and eat. Don''t cause unnecessary trouble. We''re all trying to make money, and there''s no need to fight for the rest."


    Such a tone of voice, it is really a bit uncontested, ye zhiqiao thought, if he was not a kidnapper, he might be able to be a philosopher.


    Alas -


    Just as ye zhiqiao secretly sighed, thinking that the plan had failed, the kidnapper''s second brother suddenly spoke again.

 Chapter 261 Escape to Heaven

    The kidnapper smiled evilly, but his bloodshot eyes were full of disdain, "Wang, I came out a few days later than you, so I always respect you as my big brother. But now that the world has changed, your old rules are no longer useful. What we do is caught in prison for ten or twenty years. Isn''t it ruthless? Just wait for someone to step on you!"


    "We are kidnapping, not assassins!"


    "Ha... Ha... Ha ha ha ha..." The second kidnapper laughed as if he had heard a joke, then suddenly stopped laughing and glared at him, "Tell me about professional ethics, right? You''ve been reading for a few years on your own, but I can''t beat you. I haven''t read. My father was a gambler and killed my mother! All I know is that if you want to live, you have to do everything and be ruthless!


    After that, he pointed back to ye zhiqiao and said word by word, "This woman, if she doesn''t clean up, she will be in trouble in the future. I won''t kill her, just cripple her leg so that she can''t run away."


    One leg of a cripple was as natural as discussing what to eat for lunch in his mouth, but in ye zhiqiao''s ears, it was a bolt from the blue.


    At this point, she could only fight to the death. Otherwise, she would probably spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!


    "You can''t touch me!" Ye zhiqiao pretended to be agitated by fear and struggled against the wall, trying to stand up, but in her hand behind her, a sharp blade was grinding rapidly.


    Just now, after running to the door and being knocked down by the second kidnapper, she sat on the ground. Her hand touched the blade, and her body reacted faster than her mind. She almost subconsciously grabbed the blade, and then she clenched her left hand into a fist, which was her only chance.


    In order to hide her actions, she screamed like crazy, "You can''t hurt me, I can guarantee that I will never report you out! Don''t you just want money? I have money... I can give it to you, but... But if I really have something wrong, your charges are not as simple as kidnapping!!"


    "Damn it!"


    The second kidnapper rushed over and slapped her in the face.


    The slap made her dizzy and her ears roar, but at the same time, with the momentum of her body falling to the side, the rope wrapped around her wrist was cut by her!


    Ignoring the painful side of her face, she quickly turned to face the three kidnappers and hid the gradually relaxed rope behind her.


    Fortunately, the kidnappers did not find anything unusual, but the kidnapper boss saw the second hit, his face became ugly.


    Now the war between them is not just because of a woman, ye zhiqiao''s previous provocation is just the fuse, the real cracks have been buried in their hearts.


    The leader of the kidnappers may have known that his two brothers were not satisfied with him, but he had been trying his best not to tear his face apart, but in just a few hours, his authority had been challenged several times, no matter how delicate his mind was, he was now blinded by anger.


    "Enough!" With a roar, he kicked the stool next to his leg and said in a deep voice, "After this job, do whatever you want and roll away from me!"


    "... That big brother... This money" ... The third brother, who had been cowering aside, only spoke at this time.


    The boss gave him a disdainful look and said, "How should we divide it?"


    "That won''t do!" The second kidnapper gave him a threatening look, "We can go our separate ways, but this time, the money will be given to us."


    "Why?"


    "Just because I''m young and my third brother works the most!"


    "Heh -" the kidnapper''s boss spat on the ground and scolded, "Little rascals, you really don''t know what''s good and what''s bad. I let you guys go. Do you really think I''m scared?"


    Second and third looked at each other, then the kidnapper asked, "What do you mean? You want a fight?"


    Before he could finish speaking, he had already picked up the iron bar and seemed ready to fight.


    The leader of the kidnappers did not hesitate this time. He picked up a beer bottle and smashed it against the wall, shouting and rushing forward. 1


    When the matter came to an end, the third kidnapper became timid and stood in the way of the other two to smooth things over. All of a sudden, the three kidnappers gathered together, and they argued with each other, and their position and ye zhiqiao''s position as well as the door formed an equilateral triangle, which meant that ye zhiqiao ran to the door through the same distance as them, as long as she could leave a few seconds before they noticed, maybe she could escape.


    The last chance, we must seize it!


    Ye zhiqiao did a good job of psychological construction for herself. Her body was no longer bound, and she was more balanced and flexible when she moved. She turned her wrist and put the rope on the ground quietly.


    At this time, the three kidnappers were still arguing, and no one paid attention to this side.


    There was a sound in his head, like a shooting order at a sports meeting. With that "Bang" sound, ye zhiqiao bent down and her legs quickly alternated. Until the door, the three of them had not found out about her situation.


    The old wooden door was bound to creak when it opened. She had long given up the idea of not alerting the kidnappers, so at the last moment, she stood up straight and struck out like an arrow from the string.


    "Damn it! The bitch ran away again!"


    She could only hear one of the kidnappers scolding her, followed by a flurry of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of iron hitting the wall.


    The voice grew further and further away until she could no longer hear it, and ye zhiqiao finally poked her head out of the broken room one room away from the previous room.


    She could not outrun a man in his prime. She had to hide before she could escape.


    She took a cursory look around and ran down the opposite staircase. The whole journey was quiet and there was no sign of the kidnappers.


    This realization made her happy and worried. She was glad that she was temporarily out of the control of the kidnappers, but the worry was that this was the old city district in the city, and the residents had already moved to the new garden district in the city with the subsidy, leaving very few people here.


    The only hope was a construction site that was being demolished not far away. There were no workers there at night, but there should be a security room at the door, because ye zhiqiao saw a dim yellow light from the small house.


    She folded her arms in front of her chest, shrank her shoulders, looked around and walked towards the only light. After plucking up the courage to knock on the door, a middle-aged uncle really came out of the house.


    Although he had already guessed that it would be a man, ye zhiqiao was still shocked, and apparently, for the woman who suddenly appeared outside the door in the middle of the night, the middle-aged uncle''s face was also a little green.

 Chapter 262 A Jeep

    "That... You... Who are you?" The middle-aged uncle stammered.


    Ye zhiqiao tried her best to show the friendliest smile, lowered her voice but said quickly, "Big brother, can you help me? I was tied up just now..."


    She was going to say "Kidnap," but on second thought she shut up.


    If she had been kidnapped, the middle-aged uncle might have refused to help out because he was afraid, or the middle-aged uncle might have been chivalrous and willing to help, but the kidnappers were three people, the uncle was only one person, even if the police could not come over in such a short time, on the contrary, they noticed that there were bright kidnappers here might be coming soon.


    After some consideration, she changed her mind and said, "Brother, can you lend me your phone to make a call? Something happened to me just now. I wanted my boyfriend to pick me up."


    "Yes." The middle-aged man was not suspicious, so he took out his cell phone and handed it over, but he didn''t say anything about inviting her in and waiting.


    Ye zhiqiao thanked her so much that she took the phone and dialed the number that she knew so well.


    "Dudu - dudu -"


    As the "Du" came, ye zhiqiao''s heart also tightened a little. Finally, a slightly hoarse male voice sounded across from her.


    "Hello?"


    "Gu mohan!" Hearing his voice, ye zhiqiao immediately shed tears, and her tense nerves relaxed in an instant.


    "Zhiqiao? Is that you, Zhiqiao?!" Gu mohan was obviously excited too. Because he was in a car accident when he intercepted the jeep and was injured in the parking lot before that, he was sent straight to the hospital and didn''t wake up until half an hour ago, but his men didn''t find any news about ye zhiqiao. He was going crazy!


    "It''s me. I''m at a demolition site in the old city. The kidnappers are still looking for me." She resisted her near-breakdown and reported her position clearly.


    After hearing this, gu mohan immediately took off the infusion needle on the back of his hand, shuffled his slippers and ran out the door. He did not forget to placate ye zhiqiao, "I''m coming over now. You must find a place to hide. I''ll be right there..."


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao nodded with tears in her eyes. After thinking about it, she asked, "By the way, how''s little treasure? Is it serious?"


    "Don''t worry, the wound isn''t too deep. It''s all right after a few stitches. Don''t worry too much and protect yourself."


    "Okay, I''ll hang up first. I borrowed this phone from someone else." Ye zhiqiao sniffed and said.


    Gu mohan agreed. After hanging up the phone, he ran even faster. Even Qin Baiye, who was calling him from behind, didn''t notice.


    "Big brother, thank you." Ye zhiqiao handed the phone over.


    The middle-aged uncle looked at her disheartened appearance and looked a little evasive.


    Ye zhiqiao understood what he meant and did not intend to cause him any trouble, "You can continue to be busy. I''ll go first."


    "... Oh." The middle-aged uncle seemed a little impatient and hesitated, "Why don''t you... Come in and sit down for a while?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and shook her head, "You helped me. I can''t trouble you anymore."


    Then she nodded at her uncle and turned around to hide in the darkness.


    But she didn''t go too far. After all, the light was reassuring. She hid in an old house next door. Although the environment inside was very bad and even a little scary, she could see the road through the window next to the street, so that when gu mohan arrived, she wouldn''t miss it.


    She waited quietly for a long time. She had no cell phone or watch. It was dark inside and outside the house. Only when she looked to the left from the window could she see the dim yellow light in the security room about a few meters away. It was the only thing that could reassure her.


    Just then, the sound of a car engine came faintly, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the lights gradually appeared on the road.


    Ye zhiqiao frowned doubtfully at first, but then those trivial doubts were replaced by surprises because she saw that the car was driving off the road towards the security room of the demolition site.


    That''s right, it must be right! It was gu mohan!


    She bolted out of the room, her body trembling with excitement, but her arms were waving with different strength. She opened her throat and shouted loudly, "Gu mohan! I''m here!"


    "Squeak-"


    With the sound of brakes, the indistinguishable color of the car stopped at a distance from her.


    But at this moment, most of her excitement had disappeared.


    Because of the moonlight, she could vaguely recognize that the car''s model was not gu mohan''s usual car, but rather... A jeep.


    The sound of footsteps rustled on the gravel road, and ye zhiqiao''s heart was also trembling. She was not sure who the person was, but obviously the other party had found her position, so she could not escape, so she could only listen to fate.


    "Bitch!"


    As the second kidnapper cursed, ye zhiqiao closed her eyes in despair.


    The three kidnappers quickly walked over, tied her up like a lamb to be slaughtered, put a piece of tape on her mouth, and then rudely shoved her into the car until she was taken back to the rental house and tied into the dark room inside. She did not say a word during the whole process.


    She was too tired. Whether she was rescued or tied up, she needed a good rest and no more strength.


    Gradually, she began to lose her mind and finally fell asleep on the cold floor of the dark room.


    When she woke up, there was already a little more light in the room.


    She had been curled up for too long and every joint and muscle in her body was hurting, but she still struggled to raise her neck and looked into the sunlight. It was above the wall near the ceiling, where there was a small window, but not to mention that she could not climb up, even if she could, she could not escape from such a small gap. It seems that this time, the kidnappers have really raised their guard.


    Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the door!


    She was so frightened that she trembled all over. When she listened carefully, she heard gu mohan''s voice!


    She once suspected that she had hallucinated. Was it really gu mohan? How did he find this place? Alone or with the police to save her? But no matter how many questions he had in his heart, the sealed mouth could not make a sound.


    Separated by a wall, gu mohan stood in front of three armed kidnappers.


    It was him. He had been searching for it since he arrived late at night, and finally found the rented house hidden in many old buildings. But one thing might disappoint ye zhiqiao. He didn''t bring the police with him, and just barged in alone.

 Chapter 263 Crippled Legs

    Gu mohan looked around and paused in the locked room on the left. Then he asked, "Ye zhiqiao, here?"


    The third kidnapper took a step forward and replied, "Yes." Then he looked behind him and asked, "Didn''t you bring the police?"


    "No."


    "You''re smart!" Old three turned around and walked to the window. He looked down and pointed at a position, "That... Is your man?"


    "Who?" Gu mohan frowned.


    The third shrugged his shoulders and stood around the locked door. He said indifferently, "Let''s talk about it when he comes up. If it''s you, we''ll talk about it together. If it''s not..."


    He sneered and did not continue.


    Not long after, a man came in from outside the door.


    As soon as Qin Baiye came in, he saw the layout of the room and the three kidnappers with fierce eyes. He immediately understood the situation and stood directly beside gu mohan.


    It turned out that after gu mohan left the hospital, he followed him in his car until he entered the old city. He only lost him when he turned left and right. Just now, when he walked around this road, he saw gu mohan''s car parked downstairs and chased him upstairs.


    The situation was special, and the two of them had no time to communicate. Gu mohan said with certainty, "He''s my friend, but he won''t call the police either. Don''t worry."


    The second kidnapper snorted and laughed, "If you say no, you won''t? Think we''re idiots?! No matter what, if you bring more people, you break the rules."


    Gu mohan nodded and asked, "What do you want?"


    "Money. We kidnap, of course, for money."


    "Sure, how much do you want? I''ll send someone to get it now. It''ll be delivered right away." Gu mohan pretended to take out his phone.


    The kidnapper''s second son stopped him, "Hey, hey... Wait a minute, I''m not finished. We don''t want small money, we want big money."


    Gu mohan and Qin Baiye looked at each other, but they didn''t understand what the kidnapper meant, "What is money?"


    "The gu group... Seems pretty big, huh?" The kidnapper smiled, twirled his cigarette butt and continued, "Don''t all your companies have shares or something? You are the head of the gu family. You must have a lot of shares, right? Give us that, and the woman will return it to you."


    "What do you want?! Are you crazy? What can you do with your shares?" Before gu mohan could speak, Qin Baiye could not help choking.


    Hearing what he said, the kidnapper''s second brother''s face immediately darkened and his tone became extremely harsh, "What can I do? You don''t have to talk too much! Now you''re begging us, not us. We''re used to being poor, and we''re not afraid to continue being poor. But we can''t guarantee when that woman in the house will live!"


    In order to cooperate with him, the third kidnapper specially kicked at the door and scolded fiercely, "His mother wanted to run yesterday. My second brother wanted to kill her a long time ago. If you don''t know what to do, my second brother won''t have so much patience to accompany you!"


    "How dare you?" Gu mohan glanced at the three kidnappers one by one, then said to the leader of the kidnappers who had been sitting at the table, "If you dare to hurt her, don''t even think of dying so quickly."


    The leader of the kidnapper finally raised his head and looked into his eyes. He could tell at a glance how violent the look was. Gu mohan was in charge of the entire gu family. Naturally, his skills were extraordinary. The more he looked like a rich man, the harder it was to deal with.


    "Come here." The kidnapper''s boss pointed at gu mohan.


    Gu mohan glanced coldly at his finger, then walked over, stood in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Are you their boss? Your little brothers don''t understand. I''ll talk to you."


    "About what?"


    The kidnapper boss winked at gu mohan''s second and third brothers, who were about to rush up to teach them a lesson. He stopped them.


    "Let ye zhiqiao go. I''ll give you the money as much as I can, but the shares won''t do. I''m not insulting you, but even if the shares are in your hands, you can''t use them."


    "Oh? We let them go and waited for you to deliver the money..." The kidnapper''s boss nodded playfully, raised his eyelids and asked, "Are we idiots?"


    Gu mohan shook his head and explained, "If you are worried, you can let ye zhiqiao go and leave me behind."


    The leader of the kidnapper chuckled and raised his hand to greet the second brother of the kidnapper, "He really doesn''t know the rules. Second brother, you can teach him."


    Gu mohan turned to look at the other kidnapper. Before he could react, he had already been punched in the face!


    The strong boxing instantly pushed him back a few steps, his back against the wall before he finally stopped, followed by an overwhelming number of fists, hitting every part of his exposed body, he did not dare to fight back, so he had to protect his head with his hands tightly, but even so, he was still dizzy from the fight, and could not stand up for a moment.


    He had just been seriously injured and was supposed to be hospitalized, but because of saving ye zhiqiao, he ran from the hospital and was about to be beaten up. Qin Baiye was afraid that he would not be able to support himself, so he quickly stopped him and said, "You guys stop first. We have something to discuss."


    "There''s nothing to discuss!" The kidnapper''s boss roared and stared at gu mohan, who was bleeding from his nose and mouth, "I hit you to tell you that in my territory, everything has to listen to me! You..."


    He pointed at gu mohan and then at Qin Baiye, shouting, "And you! One more word, one more thing, our business can''t be done! That woman in the house, she doesn''t have to live anymore!!"


    Because of his threat, Qin Baiye dared not say anything more.


    Gu mohan wiped the blood off his chin, supported himself against the wall, took a few deep breaths and agreed, "Okay, we won''t talk much. Tell me... What do you want?"


    The kidnapper''s boss looked at him with a smile on his face and said slowly, "First transfer the shares, then disable your legs. Take the woman inside immediately." !!!


    As he spoke, gu mohan, Qin Baiye, and ye zhiqiao, who had their ears up in the room, all widened their eyes.


    It was impossible to pay shares, but gu mohan had to cripple his own legs?!


    Gu mohan''s head was dizzy, and he could not stop shaking even when he stood against the wall, but he could hear every word the kidnapper said. He loved ye zhiqiao, but he had no way to agree to the kidnapper''s conditions, or perhaps the reason why the kidnapper made this condition was to make him unable to agree.


    In fact, when the kidnapper mentioned the word "Equity," he began to suspect that the kidnapping did not require cash, but rather did not understand the company''s equity, isn''t it impossible? What''s more, people have to cripple their own legs!

 Chapter 264 Gu Chengyan Asked You to Come over and Pass the Message

    Gu mohan lowered his head and did not know what he was thinking. Qin Baiye thought that his body could not support him anymore. He was nervous and angry. He even wanted to rush up and kill the kidnappers, but he calmed down a little and gave up the idea.


    The kidnappers had a guy in their hands, and it seemed that the kidnapper who had just hit someone was not under him and gu mohan. What''s more, the leader of the kidnapper just said that if they were reckless, ye zhiqiao would be hurt, so no matter what, it was not a wise choice to do it now.


    Qin Baiye clenched his fists and resisted the urge to make a decision for gu Mohan, "The transfer of shares and the expense of both his legs are not easy, and he has just been seriously injured. His body and mind have reached their limit. How about this? I''ll send him to the hospital first, give him time to think about it, and then give you an answer."


    Hearing this, the kidnapper looked in gu mohan''s direction and saw that his eyes were half open and half closed, as if he would fall to the ground immediately. Knowing that he couldn''t say anything, he promised, "You can leave, but if you contact the police, the consequences... You should understand."


    "I understand." Qin Baiye took a deep breath and walked towards gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was a little confused at the moment. When he saw Qin Baiye coming to help him, he wanted to say something, but his lips opened, but he couldn''t make a sound.


    Qin Baiye picked up his arm and wrapped it around his neck, staggered him out of the rented house, and drove straight to the hospital after he went downstairs.


    After they left, the kidnapper asked in a low voice, "He won''t doubt our conditions just now, will he?"


    "Nothing." The kidnapper''s boss shook his head, "The boss only told us to keep an eye on that woman. No one else will take her away. The rest, whatever we say."


    "Really, dog nose? I found it here!" The third kidnapper kicked the wall and muttered.


    In the room next to her, ye zhiqiao heard the quiet room next door, and her heart gradually cooled down.


    At this moment, she was unaware of the situation she was about to face. The sense of superiority she had felt when she had watched gu chengyan act smart in the dark was gone. It was only then that she realized that she had no idea why gu chengyan had planned to harm her.


    Knowing nothing was the most frightening thing for her, and at the same time, it made her extremely desperate.


    In this house that had no time, she could only greedily suck in the rays of sunlight falling from her head, then judge by her own feelings when it was now, and then try to think about what gu mohan was doing, and what little treasure was doing.


    A small sound appeared at the door, the sound of the lock colliding with the door plate.


    She ran over there reflexively and caught Li Qian''s eye as he pushed the door in.


    Seeing her surprised expression, Li Qian smiled lightly and took the initiative to say hello, "How are you, Mr. Ye?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes instantly turned cold. She glanced at the tray in her hand, then immediately turned away and stared at the ground.


    Li Qian noticed her subtle movements. Li Qian walked closer, handed her the tomato and beef brisket rice on the tray, and asked kindly, "Are you hungry? It was bought from a restaurant that was said to be your favorite."


    "...


    "Why aren''t you talking? Aren''t you hungry?" Li Qian squatted down next to her, raised his chin to the door, and whispered, "I heard that those things that don''t know how to take care of women and women didn''t even give you dinner yesterday. They didn''t even give you dinner this morning. They must be starving, right? I was afraid you wouldn''t eat those roadside stalls, so I took a detour to buy them for you."


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and her body trembled slightly when she exhaled. Her tone was cold and cold, "Say what you want."


    "Mmm - ye is so happy."


    Li Qian praised him half-truthfully. He casually placed the plate on the ground beside him and put his hand on his knee. He looked like a cute little girl and said, "You can leave gu mohan and go abroad."


    Ye zhiqiao frowned at the words and asked again in disbelief, "What did you say?"


    "Go abroad." Li qian pouted, tilted her head and asked, "Is it strange? Leave gu mohan and live abroad where there are good food and drinks and people are waiting on you. I don''t want such a good thing yet!"


    "... It''s gu chengyan, who asked you to come and pass the message?" Ye zhiqiao asked in a low voice.


    Li Qian looked at her intently, acquiesced.


    "Good food, good drink, and people to serve, and then daily suffering from her torture, there is no chance to resist, there is no way out..." Ye zhiqiao glanced at her lightly and slowly said, "This is her purpose, right?"


    "Cluck cluck -"


    Li Qian laughed like a silver bell. In such a dilapidated, dusty rented house, it sounded especially creepy, but she was unconscious. She covered her mouth and said, "President ye''s idea is really strange. Director gu is such a good person, how can he torture you?"


    She smiled, and ye zhiqiao smiled with her, then shook her head resolutely and said word by word, "I! No! Go!"


    ...


    Li Qian''s laughter suddenly stopped. "Good intentions" reminded him, "If you don''t go abroad, does ye always want to live like this? Tied up like an animal, hungry, clothed, and humiliated by three men anytime and anywhere, do you like it?"


    "I don''t like it." Ye zhiqiao bit her lip, "But compared to gu chengyan''s proposal, I would rather live like this."


    "Huh-"


    Li qian propped up her thighs and stood up. She patted the dust on her pants and said simply, "Well, since you refuse to accept punishment, I''ll show you something."


    She shook her head, took out a piece of paper and a few photos from her pocket, and raised them to ye zhiqiao to show them in the same way.


    "This..." She pointed to the first photo and introduced, "Gu mohan had an accident on the overpass in the city center in order to chase your car away."


    The last few photos were of the car accident. Li Qian chose one of them and stuck it on ye zhiqiao''s face to show her, "This is what he looked like when he got out of the car. It''s a pity that such a handsome man with blood all over his face scares the citizens."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at gu mohan, whose back was bent in the photo, and tears filled her eyes in an instant. But Li Qian''s lips kept opening and closing, and the words that tore her heart out kept gushing out.


    "And the hospital''s examination report." Li Qian opened the paper, looked at it roughly, and exclaimed, "Ouch! It''s so serious!"

 Chapter 265 Miss Ye Was at the Airport

    "Two broken ribs, a few millimeters away from puncturing the lungs, left wrist, right leg, knee contusion, right arm dislocation, head wound bleeding, need stitches..." Li Qian stuttered through the diagnosis, and then smiled at ye zhiqiao, "What a tragedy. I heard that the nose almost broke. Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, what a pity that such a beautiful nose has become two pieces? Right?"


    When she started to read, ye zhiqiao had already closed her eyes and her shoulders were trembling. She could not imagine how painful gu mohan would be, because when she thought about it, her heart felt as if it had been pinched and twisted, and she was about to sweat from the pain.


    Seeing her appearance, Li Qian couldn''t help but laugh again and said with a smile, "I took it to threaten you. If you refuse to go abroad and insist on staying here, then I will use you to torment gu mohan once every two or three days. I don''t think he will have left the world before I save you."


    "No! Don''t do this! No!!"


    As soon as ye zhiqiao opened her mouth, she burst into tears. Her body could not move and she could only reach Li Qian with her head, but how stupid and weak that posture was, you don''t have to think about it.


    Her strength and calmness collapsed in an instant, and she promised, "I''ll go, I''ll go abroad, anywhere. I''ll go with you... Don''t hurt gu mohan... Don''t hurt him..."


    Li qian stood beside her, watching her struggle and wriggle with cold eyes, without the slightest softness in her heart. She still smiled and praised, "That''s right! It''s so good to be obedient earlier. Why do you feel so uncomfortable?"


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lips and sobbed softly. She had no strength to respond to her words.


    Li Qian shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the door, leaving a message at the door, "Ten in the morning. Go to the airport. Remember what you said."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know the exact time, but she calmed down after the initial crying, then looked at the tomato and beef brisket rice on the ground, and there was a growl in her stomach. Then she stopped looking at the meal, closed her eyes and rested herself. After that, she was dragged up without any warning between half asleep and half awake.


    The person who pulled her up was not the three kidnappers, but two strange men. Without saying a word, they threw a set of clothes at her and motioned for her to change, then dragged her out to get in the car and went straight to the airport.


    When she reached the airport lobby, she saw Li Qian.


    "Hi!" Li Qian waved to her. Li Qian knew that ye zhiqiao was now under her control and would never make any more trouble, so he relaxed a lot and even put on a pair of big sunglasses like traveling.


    Ye zhi coincidentally looked at her and asked, "I need to go to the bathroom."


    Li Qian froze and turned to look at the two men.


    One of them replied, "That''s what she said on the way, but we didn''t let her go because we were afraid something might happen."


    "You did the right thing." Li Qian nodded, then smiled at ye zhiqiao and said, "They are men, and it will always be inconvenient, but you can rest assured that I will be by your side every moment in the future."


    Facing her promise, ye zhiqiao could not relax at all, but was very worried.


    In fact, since Li Qian left, ye zhiqiao thought about it carefully. She felt that although she was under the control of others, it was not a good idea to just go abroad obediently, so on the way here, she asked the person who sent her to go to the toilet no less than three times. She wanted to take the opportunity to escape, or even if she could delay some time.


    However, they didn''t expect that the two of them had a strong sense of investigation, so they bit her to death to keep her out of sight, and even suggested that she stay in the car...


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and forced herself to calm down.


    "Not going?" Li Qian had already taken a few steps, and when he saw that she did not follow him, he turned around and asked.


    Ye zhiqiao hurriedly agreed and hesitated to step forward.


    She walked very slowly every step, but she knew that it would not work at all. The plane ticket was already bought, and Li Qian would carry her onto the plane even before taking off.


    In the hospital, gu mohan finally woke up.


    After emergency treatment, his injuries were basically under control, and the only serious thing was his heart disease.


    Qin Baiye and his assistant were at the bedside, waiting for him to go out and work for him, but most importantly, he didn''t know what to do. He can''t do any of these things! Well, if it was really a last resort, when it was time to exchange ye zhiqiao, he could break his legs and be disabled for the rest of his life, but what about equity? Was it to save ye zhiqiao that all the employees of the gu family were sacrificed to take away their right to eat?


    No one would agree, not even ye zhiqiao would agree!


    While he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, a guest suddenly appeared in the ward.


    The three of them looked up together and were stunned to see shen Qingyuan in a hurry. Why is it him again? It seemed that every time something happened to gu mohan, shen Qingyuan would get involved.


    Gu mohan had no energy to deal with the people in the mall at this time, but then he remembered that shen Qingyuan had helped him at the most critical moment in the past few times, so he sat up with the help of his assistant and nodded, "President shen, you..."


    "It''s too late to be polite!" Unexpectedly, shen Qingyuan didn''t give him a chance to greet him at all, so he raised his hand and interrupted him. Then he said anxiously, "Miss ye is at the airport right now. If she doesn''t hurry over, she will go abroad. If she wants to find her again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"


    "Ah?!" Gu mohan paled in shock and leaned forward, clutching the sheets and asking, "Is she at the airport? But it was clear before..."


    Shen Qingyuan nodded, "Yes, she was kidnapped before. But my people kept an eye on gu chengyan and found that she had bought a few tickets, one of which had a fake id, but the photo on it was very similar to miss ye. They followed her all the way to the airport and found miss ye. She was sitting in a military green jeep."


    Hearing the military green jeep again, gu mohan no longer had any doubt, nor did he have time to ask how shen Qingyuan found out about these things. Instead, he jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and rushed out!


    The assistant and Qin Baiye immediately followed, and they heard him running as he commanded in a deep voice, "Call the police! They said there was a kidnapper at the airport and told the police to rush over. All of us in this city called out and rushed to the airport!"

 Chapter 266 Chaos and Silence

    Gu mohan was wearing a blue and white hospital gown and a pair of black leather shoes. When he ran out like a madman, he scared a lot of patients. He ignored it and rushed to the parking spot.


    Qin Baiye was worried about him and wanted him to sit in the passenger seat, but he was adamant against it. He opened the door of the driver''s seat and sat on it. Qin Baiye had to follow him and sit next to him.


    Several of their cars quickly drove out of the hospital gate and took the nearest road to the airport. Just after they left, an inconspicuous van followed them.


    In the van, gu chengyan was the one who arranged the surveillance. He told gu chengyan exactly what gu mohan was doing. Gu chengyan immediately guessed that gu mohan knew about ye zhiqiao''s impending departure. In order to prevent gu mohan from messing up his plans, gu chengyan had to send someone to stop gu mohan.


    As a result, several cars of different styles and colors slowly appeared around the black cars speeding along the road, but the purpose of those cars was only one.


    "Squeak-"


    "Piercing -"


    A series of brakes broke through the air. Gu mohan''s black car had already been squeezed onto the left turn road, right next to the green belt, where the thick trees were densely arranged, making it easy for accidents to happen.


    Qin Baiye spat, slammed the door and shouted, "These bastards, they''re going to die!!"


    Both of them knew what was going on. Gu mohan gritted his teeth and dodged left and right. As he "Drifted" along the road, he said sarcastically, "What is life for money?"


    Qin Baiye turned to look at him worriedly and asked, "Is it okay? If you don''t change seats, I''ll drive."


    If it weren''t for worrying too much about ye zhiqiao, gu mohan would definitely sneer now. He raised his chin to signal to the van that was driving in the opposite direction and asked, "Do you think we have a chance to start driving again after we stop?"


    "... Qin Baiye frowned and stared at the other side, speechless with anger.


    Gu mohan comforted, "Don''t worry, I''m fine!"


    As he spoke, he slammed the steering wheel and dodged the van across the street, but just as his car was heading to the right, a volkswagen, which was driving at a constant speed behind him, suddenly accelerated and charged straight at him!


    Damn it!


    Gu mohan cursed in his heart. Just now, the car had not moved. He thought that it was just a passerby''s car. He was too careful not to get too close for fear of causing trouble to others. He did not expect that the bastard was also gu chengyan''s person!


    The two cars were so close that it was too late to dodge. Gu mohan was already thinking about how to change a car as quickly as possible, when he heard a loud noise behind him!


    He and Qin Baiye looked through the rearview mirror together, only to see a police car with an alarm intercepting a few cars that were frantically pouncing on them, and then more cars rushed over from behind.


    There were police cars and ordinary cars. They knew that the police and their people had rushed over together!


    There''s hope!


    Gu mohan''s mind flashed with these words. Although he stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, the car sped out like lightning.


    Qin Baiye was unprepared and slammed the back of his head into the seat. He gritted his teeth and endured, thinking that he would settle the bill after autumn!


    Unlike the noise and adventure on the road, the airport was as quiet and orderly as usual, the staff greeted them with a smile, and the tourists walked silently back to their own way.


    Ye zhi coincidentally sat on the toilet seat, ten fingers clenched together, because of nervousness, sweat on her face had slowly slid down.


    From the moment she entered the room, she knew that she had been there for a long time, even by feeling it. The door of the cubicle next to her had been opened and repeated several times. Only her room was strangely quiet. Occasionally, anxious tourists thought that no one was coming to push the door, so she could only apologize in a low, embarrassed voice.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    There was another knock on the door. Ye zhiqiao sighed and said, "I''m sorry, I..."


    "It''s me."


    Li Qian''s voice came through the door, as gloomy as ye zhiqiao''s mood at the moment.


    "What''s the matter? It''s been half an hour." Li Qian warned unhappily.


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart thumped wildly. She stroked her chest with her hand and calmed down. "Ah, I... Have a terrible stomachache. It may be my period soon, and then I sat on the cold floor for a long time, so..."


    "So you can''t get out, can you?"


    Li qian said it for her. Did she understand her kindly?


    Ye zhiqiao was about to deny her guess when she heard li qian say in a ghostly voice, "I know you''re lying to me. You didn''t flush the water once in half an hour." !!!


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart was trembling more than that. Her body was trembling, and even if she opened her mouth wide, she still felt suffocated.


    This feeling is really terrible.


    You went to the bathroom in the cubicle, and there was someone outside who you didn''t know was listening to you, the sound of you flushing, the sound of you flipping your clothes, even the sound of talking to herself, gasping, and then in the end, she told you darkly, "I know you''re lying..."


    Ye zhiqiao covered her mouth and suddenly felt like vomiting.


    Li Qian, who was outside the door, had regained his "Sunny and lively" appearance and jokingly said, "Come out quickly. If you fool me like this again, I will make fun of your sweetheart!"


    In the eyes of outsiders, the extremely brisk tone must be like two close friends talking about the code, but the true meaning of it, only ye zhiqiao could understand.


    If she tries any more tricks, she will have to deal with gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao weakly closed her eyes and stood up with trembling legs. After opening the door, Li Qian''s smiling face appeared in front of her.


    She came over and grabbed her arm, whispering in her ear, "I won''t be fooled again this time!"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t smile, so she followed her out of the bathroom and forgot to wash her hands.


    "Passengers for... Please note that the flight you are on is now boarding. Please take your belongings with you..."


    Hearing the broadcast, Li Qian took out his boarding pass and said to ye zhiqiao, "This is it. Let''s go over now." After saying that, no matter what ye zhiqiao did, she pulled and dragged her forward.


    They had very few things, only one of Li Qian''s backpacks, which contained a cell phone to contact gu chengyan. The two of them went straight to the gate. During the security check, the security inspector in his thirties might have looked at Li Qian''s cuteness and smiled at her gently.


    Li qian gave her a cheerful smile.


    Only ye zhiqiao knew how dark that smile was.

 Chapter 267 Cooperate with the Investigation

    After the security check, Li Qian and ye zhiqiao walked in one after another. Not far behind them, the crowd was making a commotion.


    "Excuse me! Excuse me!!"


    Gu mohan ran in the front, followed by his assistant, Qin Baiye, the bodyguards and the police.


    It was easy to be alarmed and anxious for a group of people to fly through the airport terminal, but fortunately, the police had already coordinated with the relevant aspects of the airport in advance before they arrived, so their actions were not stopped at this time.


    Gu mohan had not stopped running since he got out of the car. His wounds had gone from the initial pain to numbness. His eyes traveled through the passersby he had missed, and only when he ran to the front of a boarding gate did the figure that worried him faintly flash past his eyes.


    That figure was really too similar to ye zhiqiao, but the clothes were not what ye zhiqiao wore when she last met her, and the man''s hair was up, not to see if the tail was the unique dark green color of ye zhiqiao.


    The situation was urgent, and gu mohan couldn''t care less. He stood there and shouted, "Ye zhiqiao!!"


    ...


    A few meters away, that woman''s figure actually stopped!


    "I''m warning you, don''t be paranoid. If you don''t want anything to happen to him, just follow me." Li Qian put his head close to ye zhiqiao''s ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear.


    Ye zhi coincidentally lowered her hand and slowly clenched it into a fist, frowning. The voice behind her, she was familiar with, as long as she turned around, she could be saved, but there was still Li Qian watching.


    What should I do?


    "Let''s go!" Li Qian urged again, his tone much more urgent than before. Although she could not have barged in without a boarding pass if she had found gu mohan, if ye zhiqiao had been standing here for too long and caused the suspicions of the airport police, it would be difficult for them to intervene in the investigation.


    Li Qian did not know that gu mohan had already called the police and thought that everything would be fine as long as she got on the plane, but behind her, seven or eight uniformed police officers had already surrounded her.


    "Ladies, we have received a report that there is a kidnapping situation here. Please come out with us to investigate the situation, thank you for your cooperation."


    A low voice sounded, like a dull bell ringing above her head. Li Qian immediately felt that she was done.


    The police took Li Qian directly to the police car, and the rest of them followed him to the police station to explain the situation. Ye zhi coincidentally saw that gu mohan was wearing thin clothes, so she wanted him to go back and change his clothes first. At this time, the assistant came over and delivered the clothes he had just taken temporarily.


    Gu mohan changed into his usual clothes in the airport bathroom and drove ye zhiqiao straight to the police station. When they arrived, Li Qian was being questioned.


    Because the police had no evidence of Li Qian breaking the law, and the case was special, they did not bring her to the interrogation room, but arranged an office.


    On the way back, li qian had already stabilized her emotions. Her initial panic and nervousness were gone. Instead, she pretended to be a victim and asked the investigators countless times, "What are you doing? I''m in a hurry now. Can you take care of my schedule?!"


    "Be quiet!" The middle-aged police officer in charge of the case warned her loudly, then pointed to gu mohan who was sitting next to her and said, "This Mr. Gu pointed out that you were involved in a kidnapping and attempted to coerce the hostages out of the country..."


    Then he pointed at ye zhiqiao and continued, "And miss ye is the victim. Miss ye is also willing to testify to this. If you have anything to defend yourself, speak slowly and speak well."


    "... What did I say?"


    Li Qian glanced at the two people sitting opposite him, then turned to the police at the side of the conference table and said, "I am a law-abiding citizen. How can I say that I am a threat to kidnapping... Coercion?"


    "Then what is your relationship with miss ye?"


    "We..." Li qian paused and waved her hand, "I don''t know her. It''s okay."


    Ye zhiqiao timely interjected, "I can testify that you not only know me, but also threatened me to go abroad with you."


    "Can the client be a witness?" Li Qian asked, raising his chin in amusement.


    "According to the rules, third party testimony or evidence is required..."


    Halfway through the middle of the conversation, Li Qian smiled and said, "Did you hear me? Your words are useless!" But as the latter half of the policeman''s words came out, her smile immediately froze on her face.


    "But the airport surveillance and the staff should prove that you are not strangers, and we brought back two men when we left the airport. They said they were hired, and the hirer was you, Li Qian."


    The two men ye zhiqiao had met just now were the two who brought her from the rental house to the airport.


    As soon as she said this, Li Qian''s face turned ugly. She thought, if this continues, she will not be able to clean up the charges of kidnapping and coercion. She must think of a way quickly.


    She sighed and nodded indifferently, "Yes, I do know ye zhiqiao, but I did it today to help her."


    "?!"


    Hearing what she said, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked at each other in shock and did not understand what she was planning.


    The policeman asked, "What do you mean by that? Explain."


    Li Qian pursed her lips, glanced at gu Mohan and said, "The person who really wants to kill ye zhiqiao is gu mohan. I took ye zhiqiao away just to help her get out of her misery, so as not to get entangled with such a man again."


    It had to be said that this excuse li qian made up was very clumsy, one can hear it is nonsense, but the police have no evidence in their hands, all the previous things were to listen to Mohan''s side. They had never seen a case where there was a reversal at the most critical moment, so they did not dare to make a quick judgment.


    The middle-aged policeman cleared his throat and asked, "You mean gu mohan did the kidnapping? Do you have any evidence?"


    Li qian chuckled, elbows resting on the table, palms propping up her chin and asking, "Then you arrest me and say I coerce you. Do you have any evidence?"


    "...


    The policeman choked on her and was about to explode when gu mohan suddenly stood up.


    Just now, gu mohan had been fiddling with his cell phone and was not involved in the inquiry. Instead, he came directly to Li Qian and bent down.


    Li Qian shrank back and deliberately said, "What? You want to jump over the wall? This is the police station. Don''t try anything!"

 Chapter 268 Li Qian, the Main Criminal

    "I don''t want to mess around. I just want to tell you something." Gu mohan placed the phone playing the audio on her hand expressionless, then straightened up and waited quietly.


    However, although the phone was next to Li Qian, the volume of the media on the phone was adjusted to the maximum, ensuring that everyone present could hear it clearly.


    "Did you catch it?" A woman''s voice.


    After that, a man said, "Don''t worry, boss. This woman named ye is very strong. She always wants to run, so we tied her up so tightly that she can''t run even if we give her a knife."


    Another woman said, "Yeah, but don''t go overboard. Let her go when you get to the rental house. I''ll keep this person. I can''t let anything happen to her."


    "Aye aye good."


    The audio is over.


    Li Qian subconsciously reached out to grab the phone. Gu mohan had already picked it up one step ahead of time and sent it to the middle-aged police. Then he explained, "This is the call record between Li Qian and the kidnapper who kidnapped ye zhiqiao, of course..."


    Gu mohan looked at Li Qian, "You may not admit it, but it doesn''t matter. This voice is very clear and can be identified by professionals. I think it will match your voice very well."


    A hundred secrets and a sparing one!


    Li Qian thought he had destroyed all the evidence, but he didn''t expect gu mohan to get her phone records. Although it might be against the law to investigate other people''s privacy, gu Mohan''s actions indirectly provided evidence for the case, so the police probably wouldn''t be too hard on him.


    "I... I..." Li Qian immediately tried to defend himself, but he couldn''t think of any excuse. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he could no longer maintain his composure.


    Seeing that the time was almost up, gu mohan said again, "Li Qian, the crime of kidnapping is not low, and the sentence should not be short. I''ll tell you in advance, and I''ll find the best lawyer to raise your sentence to the worst!" !!


    Li Qian was startled, half in a panic, half in a daze and looked up at him.


    Gu mohan continued, "But if you are smarter and tell me who is behind it, I will not pursue your matter or interfere."


    As he spoke, Li Qian finally understood. So he was trying to get gu chengyan out of her mouth.


    However, she could never say gu chengyan!


    She knew gu chengyan too well. The city was very deep, and there were plenty of means. Not to mention that she had no evidence of master gu chengyan, even if she did, gu chengyan would definitely have a way to escape. At that time, the victim might have turned from ye zhiqiao to her!


    And before she set off this time, she heard gu chengyan say that he was going to execute a traitor. The look and tone of gu chengyan''s expression at that time seemed to permeate her memory, or that gu chengyan was not like a person at all, but a fierce ghost!


    Li Qian shuddered at the thought and shook his head, "No... No mastermind. I did it all by myself."


    "You''re not telling the truth at this point?!"


    Gu mohan frowned and stared at her, his eyes filled with confusion as well as anger, "Why are you helping gu chengyan like this? Well, if you say that there is no mastermind behind this and you want to harm ye zhiqiao, then what is the reason why you want to harm ye zhiqiao? You have no grudges!"


    "Who says we have no enemies?"


    Li Qian was well aware of his current situation, and his emotions gradually changed from panic and fear to fearlessness, "Mr. Gu doesn''t know much about women. Do you have to hate me to hurt her?"


    "No!" She suddenly stood up and pointed at ye zhiqiao opposite her, "She''s luckier than I am. She has such a rich boyfriend and a close friend. She can instruct me as my boss at a young age to educate me... All of these are enough to make me jealous of her, jealous to the point of madness!... Jealousy... How terrible..."


    With a sneer, she fell into the chair, stretched out her hands, and held them together in front of her. With a smile on her lips, she said, "Catch me. I did it. I admit it."


    "Li Qian!"


    Gu mohan wanted to ask again. The police behind Li Qian had already taken out a pair of handcuffs and put them on her hand.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled gu mohan''s sleeve to calm him down.


    As a woman, ye zhiqiao could understand what Li Qian did. In the few seconds she looked at Li Qian, she not only saw anger and hatred, but also deep helplessness. In life, there are always a lot of helplessness. She did not know why Li Qian would give up on gu chengyan, but she understood that from Li Qian''s mouth, she would never find the name "Gu chengyan."


    The end of the case was as dramatic as the beginning.


    Li Qian was caught as the mastermind, and all the other participants were caught. The three kidnappers were fighting when the police surrounded the other rented house, and they didn''t know what happened until they were caught. And gu chengyan, because there was no evidence that she was involved in this case, so she really escaped the punishment as if she had never been involved, and could continue to walk on the streets openly.


    As they walked out of the police station, dark clouds gradually rose in the sky, as if a storm was brewing.


    Gu mohan did not like rainy days, and ye zhiqiao did not like them very much, but they were still happy to solve a problem and get back to life. As for those that could not be handled perfectly, both of them tacitly stopped talking about it.


    They looked at each other and smiled. Ye zhiqiao asked, "Is little treasure still in the hospital?"


    "Yes."


    "Then shall we go and see her?"


    Gu mohan thought about it and shook his head, "We''ll go over later. Let''s meet someone first."


    Ye zhiqiao asked doubtfully, "Who are you meeting? Does it have anything to do with this?"


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and said, "Xiaorui. She didn''t show up after we left the hotel, didn''t inform us of gu chengyan''s plan, and didn''t offer any help. She broke our promise. It''s time to settle the score with her."


    The two drove all the way to the neighborhood where Xiaorui lived. As soon as gu mohan''s car reached the opposite street, he saw Xiaorui in a sun visor and sunglasses hurrying out of the neighborhood.


    Ye zhiqiao "Eh" and pointed to a white jetta not far away. She said to gu mohan, "Is that car waiting for Xiaorui? I just saw him stick his head out and look around and then immediately retract."


    "I don''t think so. Maybe he''s waiting for someone else. Xiaorui didn''t go that way at all." Gu mohan stepped on the brake and watched the situation with ye zhiqiao.


    They were all guessing where Xiaorui was going at the moment, because even though Xiaorui was a star, at her level, there was no need to cover herself up like this when she went out, and since she had done so, she definitely had the intention to do so.

 Chapter 269 Xiao Rui Died in a Car Accident

    Through the car window, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao saw Xiaorui standing at the entrance of the community looking around for a while, then pulling down the brim of the sun visor and walking straight in the direction of the two.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at Xiaorui who was getting closer and closer and asked, "Is she coming to find us? It doesn''t seem like..."


    Gu mohan gave a "Yes" and confirmed," no." She didn''t even notice us."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded in agreement and was about to ask something more when her half-opened lips suddenly widened to the maximum and her pupils dilated violently when she stopped breathing!


    "Boom -"


    A dull crash.


    In a blink of an eye, ye zhiqiao saw the most frightening scene in her life.


    Xiaorui''s body soared into the air like in a tv series, rolled onto the roof of a white car, and then continued to roll to the ground as the car sped away. Blood, blood was all over her face and body, and the blood red color was all over her floral dress!


    There was also a pool of blood on the ground. It was thick and dazzling. The road was covered in grey and green, and it flowed slowly around.


    Gu mohan was also obviously stunned and did not move for a long time.


    It was not until the passers-by gradually surrounded xiao rui that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao opened the car door and rushed over as if they had just woken up.


    Through the dense crowd, they saw Xiaorui lying on the road in an extremely strange position with his legs pressed against his thighs and an arm resting on his head. It was obvious that he had been hit and broken!


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly felt a wave of retching, and most of the people at the scene were the same.


    Some kind-hearted people called the ambulance and the police, saying that there was a car accident here and a girl was injured, but in fact, everyone could see that people would definitely not survive the crash.


    Seeing that ye zhi qiao was not feeling well, gu mohan quickly covered her eyes and took her back to the car. He twisted a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, "Don''t be afraid. Don''t think about it. Just drink some water."


    When ye zhi coincidentally took the bottle, her hands were still trembling slightly. She forced herself to drink a few mouthfuls before she finally recovered.


    "Too bad." Although she resented what Xiaorui had done to her, xiao rui was still a woman in her prime and a living life. It was really unacceptable for her to disappear in front of her eyes like that.


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and exhaled, "Accidents happen when people are alive."


    "Was it really an accident?" Ye zhiqiao turned to look at him. She felt that what happened just now was too weird. Why were all the people who were related to gu chengyan disappearing in all kinds of ways? Li Qian and the kidnappers were taken to the police station, and Xiaorui had a car accident all of a sudden. How did this happen so coincidentally, and no one was threatening gu chengyan?


    Ye zhiqiao was just about to say what she thought, but she found that there was something wrong with gu mohan.


    "What''s wrong with you?" She put her doubts aside and asked.


    Gu mohan slowly exhaled a few more breaths, and beads of sweat covered his forehead, "Nothing, just... It''s here like..."


    He shook his head, unable to speak in pain.


    Ye zhiqiao looked down his arm and saw that he was covering his abdomen in a weak way. She immediately recalled the examination report that li qian read when she was tied up in the rented house.


    "Two broken ribs, a few millimeters short of puncturing the lungs, left wrist, right leg, knee contusion, right arm dislocation, head wound bleeding, need stitches..."


    If Li Qian hadn''t lied to her, gu Mohan would have been seriously injured at that time. But within a few hours, he ran out of the hospital to save her. Even if he had been treated, the wound would definitely relapse!


    Ye zhiqiao''s heart tightened. She bent down and carefully examined gu mohan''s drooping face and asked, "Is the wound hurting again? To the hospital... I''ll drive. Can we go to the hospital now?"


    Gu mohan nodded his head laboriously and then sat in the back seat with the help of ye zhiqiao.


    As he moved, the pain was so bad that he couldn''t stop breathing out several times. Ye zhiqiao almost burst into tears, but she still had to pull herself together to help him sit down.


    On the way to the hospital, ye zhiqiao tried her best to drive fast and steadily, but even so, when she arrived at the hospital, gu mohan still fainted from the pain.


    A few doctors helped him out of the car and rushed him to the emergency room as quickly as possible. The next two hours of surgery took place. The doctor said that if he came a little later or the patient moved violently, the broken ribs would most likely pierce the lungs. If there was a massive hemorrhage, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    After returning to the ward, ye zhi coincidentally held gu mohan''s hand and sobbed.


    On the one hand, he was frightened by the doctor''s words, on the other hand, he was heartbroken and moved.


    Since she returned to the studio yesterday evening, gu mohan had been injured incessantly. First, he had a fight with seven or eight fighters with Qin Baiye. Although he had won, he had also lost the lottery. Then she was kidnapped, and gu mohan had a car accident in order to chase the car. At that time, his face was covered in blood, and she saw it all in the photos given by Li Qian. Then gu mohan rushed to the rented house to save her, but not only did the kidnappers deliberately make things difficult for him, they also attacked him who was seriously injured and beat him up. Even though he was tied up inside, she could hear the sound of fists hitting her flesh across a wall.


    At that time, gu mohan''s body ached, and his heart was still filled with remorse and disappointment for not being able to save her. He should have been in pain!


    At this time, ye zhiqiao also felt heartbroken because she tried to imagine what gu mohan was facing. Until gu mohan woke up from his coma, tears were still hanging from the corner of her eyes.


    Gu mohan had to use his boss''s strength to find out why she was crying. He couldn''t help but laugh, "Silly girl."


    Ye zhiqiao rolled her eyes at him with tears in her eyes and complained on purpose, "Without conscience, I''m almost scared to death by you. Just tell me if the wound hurts. Why are you holding it back?"


    "Aren''t I afraid you''re worried?" Seeing ye zhiqiao''s tearful look, gu mohan no longer dared to laugh. He took her hand and pecked it lightly. He blinked and said, "And I didn''t feel anything before. Maybe I ran too fast when I went to see xiao rui, and I pulled the wound."


    "Nonsense! Didn''t you run at the airport?"


    Gu mohan lovingly shook her arm and puffed up his mouth, "I''m worried about you. If you were really taken abroad by li qian, where would I find such a good wife like you?"


    "Who is you..." Ye zhiqiao bit her lip and didn''t say the word.


    Gu mohan asked relentlessly, "What? What are you? Tell me... What are you?"

 Chapter 270 Its Very Happy to Have a Friend Like You

    Seeing that ye zhi didn''t answer, gu mohan approached and asked, "Tell me, Zhiqiao -"


    "I don''t have time to be poor with you!" Seeing that he was fine and still in the mood to tease her, ye zhiqiao finally relaxed a little and discussed with him, "I heard from aunt Li that little treasure is also in the hospital. Aunt Li has been taking care of little treasure all this time. I''m sorry, so I''ll take care of you two later. Aunt Li is old, don''t bother her anymore."


    Of course, ye zhi coincidentally arranged for gu mohan not to have any objections, and he had already treated her as the mistress of his own home, and he could listen to her for anything, but only one thing: "You have been tormented for the past two days too, otherwise you can rest for a few days and come back, I''m afraid your body can''t stand it."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and refused, "I''m fine. I can take some time off to take care of you. Don''t worry, then it''s settled."


    Ye zhiqiao ignored gu mohan''s advice and immediately took over the blame of taking care of the two patients. But taking care of the big and the small is much more difficult than taking care of the two adults.


    First of all, it was impossible for gu mohan and xiao bao to live in the same ward. Ye zhiqiao had to travel upstairs and downstairs between the two wards every day. The conditions of the two people were different, and the examinations and treatments were different.


    This was just a physical therapy job, and their three meals a day made ye zhiqiao put in a lot of effort.


    Gu mohan was seriously injured and needed to eat some nutrients to help heal the wound, such as big bone soup, fish soup and so on. And little treasure was injured because of the head injury, mainly because she had to stitch the needle and change the dressing frequently. The child could not bear the pain, and his appetite was also poor. In addition, he had stomach disease, and he lost a lot of weight in the days of hospitalization. It hurt ye zhiqiao so much that she could only cook three meals a day in different ways for her to eat. In this way, ye zhiqiao''s time was more compact, often busy until night, and the next day she had to get up early on time to welcome the busy new day.


    In less than a week, ye zhiqiao was as tired as gu Mohan was worried.


    In fact, ye zhiqiao was not so weak that she needed to be hospitalized, but her face and spirit were so bad that she almost fell when she went to the bathroom to get a mop after breaking two bowls in a row. Gu mohan was so scared that he refused to let her take care of her and insisted on inviting aunt Li.


    But auntie li was a servant of the villa, so it was not reasonable to call someone to the hospital. Ye zhiqiao denied the idea at that time. But she couldn''t stand it any longer, so she discussed with gu mohan to find a nurse to help.


    But in the end, the nurse didn''t come and welcomed miss jian instead.


    It turned out that when jian mengqi visited little treasure, she heard about ye zhiqiao''s exhaustion and immediately assigned her work to her assistant and a few trusted subordinates. Then she came to gu mohan and ye zhiqiao with the good virtue of "Helping out the needy."


    Although jian mengqi''s character was careless, she was a good caretaker, and her physical foundation was better than ye zhiqiao. Not only did she fully share ye zhiqiao''s work, but she also carried the task of taking care of ye zhiqiao onto her shoulders.


    Thinking of jian mengqi''s help in the past few days, ye zhiqiao was moved and embarrassed, "Mengqi, it''s really thanks to you this time. When gu mohan recovers from his injury, I''ll let him bleed well and invite you once. By the way, I''ll add Qin Baiye."


    When jian mengqi heard this, her eyes began to shine and she deliberately joked, "Eh? People who become ceo''s girlfriends are different. Even master gu dares to kill them!"


    "I knew you didn''t have a straight face." Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and ignored her.


    Jian mengqi tilted her head and looked at her expression. Knowing that she was not really angry, she reached out and handed over a grape. She bumped into her arm and said, "Hey, stop joking. Let me talk to you about something serious."


    "You still have business?" Ye zhiqiao obviously didn''t believe it.


    Jian mengqi puffed up her mouth and lowered her head slightly, "Actually, I''ve wanted to tell you for a long time, but... It''s just a little awkward... Ah..."


    "Wow!" As if she had discovered a new world, ye zhi held up jian mengqi''s head in surprise and stared at her face, "It''s really eye-opening that there are still times when the heroine of jian can be so tactful."


    "Oh, damn it!" Jian mengqi shook her head hard and pursed her lips, "I''ll just say it. If you want to kill me, you can cut me up!"


    She took a deep breath and sped up her speech, "Didn''t you leave little treasure with me when you had an accident the other day? But as you can see, little treasure had a fall and a stitch had been stitched on his head. It''s all my fault for such a small child. I''ve already apologized to gu mohan, but I think I have to apologize to you too. Can you forgive me?"


    Just as she took a deep breath, she continued, "You, you, you, you... You have to forgive me, because I can''t forgive myself..."


    Looking at her rare shrunken appearance, ye zhiqiao actually wanted to laugh for a moment, but she immediately endured it, took jian mengqi''s hand, and said gently, "Of course I forgive you. Although I don''t think you did anything wrong, but if this can make you feel comfortable, then listen to you."


    "Ah?" Jian mengqi frowned, her face full of confusion, "Why do you think I''m right, just like gu mohan? Do you know how awkward I have been facing you these days? I can''t wait for the stitches to be on my head."


    As a good friend for more than ten years, ye zhiqiao absolutely believed jian mengqi''s words, and couldn''t help but laugh more, at the same time, her heart was also very soft.


    She patted jian mengqi on the head, "Well, your brain is already bright. Let it go. Besides, gu mohan and I are not being polite to you, but we really think it''s none of your business. It''s all an accident. Besides, if it weren''t for you, maybe little treasure would have been taken away by the bad guys, so we should thank you."


    Jian mengqi twisted her body to cover her ears and said, "I don''t listen to you. I always feel that you are comforting me, but I want to believe that I can''t do this!"


    "Then believe it." Ye zhiqiao took her hand and smiled.


    Jian mengqi pouted again. After a while, she also smiled. She hugged ye zhiqiao and mumbled, "How can a friend like you be so happy?"


    Ye zhi patted her back and thought, we should be happy with friends like you.

 Chapter 271 It Was Me Who Was Obsessed

    On this day, jian mengqi went upstairs to accompany xiao bao, and ye zhiqiao was chatting with gu mohan to relieve her boredom. Suddenly, a guest came to the ward.


    Shen Qingyuan''s hands were full of all kinds of nutrition, and there were two bouquets of flowers. When she saw ye zhiqiao coming up to her, she showed a worried look and said, "How is miss ye recuperating? I see you look a lot redder. I think you''ve recovered from your shock."


    Ye zhiqiao was basically used to his "Courtesy," and smiled back. She nodded and said, "Thanks to your concern, Mohan told me that president shen arrived in time to inform him of my position. Otherwise, my current situation is really difficult to say."


    "No, no, no." Shen Qingyuan waved his hand and smiled, "As a friend of president gu, I just did a simple thing. Why bother?"


    As he said this, he had already stepped over to gu mohan''s bedside and sat down on the chair without giving in. He nodded with a smile, "Well, president gu seems to be recovering well. Our previous predicament has finally passed."


    Gu mohan was noncommittal to what he called "We." He nodded and said, "Thank you so much for your help, president shen. You have been helping me in times of crisis. I don''t know how to repay you."


    "It''s too obvious to say you want to repay me."


    Shen Qingyuan smacked his mouth and suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He tried to say, "However... If president gu is willing, shen mou has an unexpected request."


    "Oh?" Gu mohan raised his eyebrows, thinking that after several "Investments" by this old fogey, he was finally going to collect interest.


    He raised his hand, "President shen, please tell me that as long as I think it''s appropriate, I will make it convenient for you."


    Shen Qingyuan laughed dryly, rubbed his hands together and said, "I have to apologize to president gu first. In fact, I was the one who got into the car accident on the road before. It was just a moment of bewilderment. That''s why..."


    He coughed softly and said nothing further.


    But the other two people already understood what he meant. Ye zhiqiao stared at him with shock all over her face, as if she could not believe how someone could be so shameless and help after doing something bad, and then apologize. Isn''t that sick?


    Gu Mohan, on the other hand, was much calmer. After the accident, he realized that something was wrong. He guessed that shen Qingyuan was behind it. The reason why he didn''t expose it was to see what shen Qingyuan had up his sleeve, but what he didn''t expect was that shen Qingyuan would actually come over and admit it.


    "Is that so?" He still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Then why did president shen do that?"


    "I... Oh, it''s all my fault for wanting to cooperate with president gu. If you don''t agree, I won''t be able to hold my temper, but president gu is relieved that the same thing will never happen again!" Shen Qingyuan raised an arm and promised.


    After that, without waiting for gu mohan to speak, he continued, "Besides, I think president gu is also an honest person. This business and cooperation are all about honesty. If I keep this from you, you will definitely blame me when you know later."


    Business? Cooperation?


    Gu mohan savored these two words carefully, smiled playfully and asked, pretending not to know, "So what president shen means now is..."


    Shen Qingyuan grinned and sat up straight and said, "Isn''t that right? Shen shi has a new project coming up recently. I''ve chosen and chosen the partners, or do I think no one is more suitable than you, president gu? So, can we just let bygones be bygones and work together? I promise, this is definitely a business for you that only earns and doesn''t lose money."


    "So president shen..."


    Just as gu mohan was about to speak, ye zhiqiao suddenly interrupted, "Is shen always joking?"


    Shen Qingyuan and gu mohan were stunned at the same time, and then shen Qingyuan asked, "What did miss ye say?"


    Ye zhiqiao snorted coldly and picked up her arm, "This question is also what I want to ask president shen. What are you talking about? Behind the scenes, if you are unhappy, you can use some shady means, then a little kindness, and then apologize, no matter what happened in the past, where did such a good thing come from?!"


    "..." Shen Qingyuan glanced at gu mohan awkwardly. Seeing that the latter had no intention of making things right, he had to bite the bullet and say," miss ye, you''re right. Shen did not do this properly. In this way, as long as president gu agrees to this cooperation, the profit share will be decided by president gu, and I will not interfere at all, which is to express my apology. What do you think?


    No fool would believe him!


    Ye zhiqiao sarcastically said, "Isn''t everything president shen has done for the benefit? Why are you so apologetic this time? Don''t tell us you''re going to give up on the dark and wash your hands and be a good person."


    After a few sentences, shen Qingyuan''s face darkened no matter how well he handled his emotions. However, with gu Mohan present, he did not dare to do anything to ye zhiqiao. He only raised his voice and said, "In short, on behalf of the Shen shi group, shen is sincerely seeking cooperation. As for how to express his apology, general gu can bring it up again. Shen will do his best, but I hope that general gu can consider the cooperation carefully."


    "No need to think about it." Ye zhiqiao glanced at gu mohan and rejected him directly, "Gu won''t cooperate with Shen shi in any way."


    "You..."


    Shen Qingyuan really couldn''t hold his temper at this moment. Being humiliated by a woman like this made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to slam the door and leave, but for the sake of the Shen shi and his own future, he had to force himself to endure.


    Seeing that shen Qingyuan was already very angry, ye zhi happened to stop at the right time and kept the conversation, then said, "But if president shen really wants to make this friend of mo han, in addition to business contacts, there may be many opportunities to cooperate." ?!


    Her words changed so quickly that shen Qingyuan did not follow her train of thought for a moment and was stunned for a moment.


    "You mean..." It''s not business, it''s private. It looks like they know that he has the ability to get information, so they want to keep him for their own use.


    Shen Qingyuan only helped them in the past because of business cooperation. If the cooperation failed, why should he serve them?


    Shen Qingyuan tilted his mouth and shook his head. Just as he was about to refuse, gu mohan asked, "The last time president shen sent someone to hit me, the driver, I wonder if you still have contact with him?"


    Shen Qingyuan was shocked, "Why are you asking this?!"

 Chapter 272 Second Guest

    Gu mohan casually folded one of the flowers from the bedside table and played with it. He said calmly, "My men are not as capable as president shen''s men. They can''t investigate something well and protect me. I usually tolerate it if I can. But if this gets to my father''s ears, the consequences should be... Quite serious, right?"


    His tone was relaxed, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue in shen Qingyuan! He had always targeted gu mohan, but he had forgotten his father, president gu. Since the last time he was hospitalized in a car accident, he had just made a good impression on president gu. If the other party knew that he was the one who hurt gu mohan, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Back then, Mr. Gu''s method in the circle was definitely to make everyone retreat. To this day, it is not to be underestimated. He is a Shen shi, definitely not an opponent.


    "President gu..." He wiped the sweat off his forehead and forced out a smile, "Look, I''ve already taken the initiative to admit my mistake. Do you want to give me a chance?"


    Gu mohan nodded and said bluntly, "Of course, we have to give president shen a chance. After all, president shen has helped me so much. I can''t kill a person at once. Just like zhiqiao said, let''s start with some cooperation outside of business. If we are really destined, everything will be easier to say in the future."


    "Heh... Heh..."


    Shen Qingyuan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, praising him half-truthfully and half-falsely, "President gu and miss ye are both capable people. Capable people."


    At this point, he seemed to have no right to refuse, but on second thought, it would be good. The more we get along, the more gu mohan would find out about his abilities. And as long as gu mohan still needed him, the two of them would always have a chance to cooperate in the future.


    Shen Qingyuan agreed to gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s request, and then talked absent-mindedly for a while before taking the initiative to leave.


    After he left, gu mohan wanted to discuss things with ye zhiqiao about him, but he didn''t expect that today was a visiting day. Just as shen Qingyuan left, another "Distinguished guest" came in.


    As soon as gu mohan''s eyes met the man who pushed the door in, his face immediately darkened. He coldly held his arm and stared at him as he walked step by step to the hospital bed.


    Ye zhiqiao''s face was not as ugly as his, but it was unnatural. She wanted to say hello, but didn''t know what to say. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence, "Yi chen, why are you here?"


    "I... Heard that you guys had some accidents a few days ago, so... Come and take a look."


    Yi chen deliberately understated his purpose of coming, but only he knew how scared and panicked he was when he first heard that ye zhiqiao was kidnapped and almost threatened to go abroad. He almost did not think about it, and immediately asked his friend about ye zhiqiao''s situation, but after knowing that she was all right, he was still worried. He endured and endured, and in the end rushed over so recklessly.


    But what happened after they rushed over? In fact, he was already prepared for what he was going to face, but seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt heartbroken.


    The relationship between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan was even better than he expected.


    After he entered the door, it was just time for gu mohan to take his medicine. No nurse came over, but ye zhiqiao tidied up gu mohan one by one. Then, she brought water in one hand and sugar in the other, serving him to take his medicine. That kind of service was different from that of a servant, but it was as thoughtful and natural as a husband and wife for many years.


    After taking the medicine, perhaps realizing that he had neglected yi chen, ye zhiqiao took the initiative to explain, "He is afraid of suffering, so he has to eat sugar after taking the medicine, isn''t it too embarrassing?"


    "No." Yi chen shook his head, "Good, master gu."


    Gu mohan curled his lips and deliberately said, "Yes, of course I''m fine. That''s why Zhiqiao likes me so much that she can''t leave me for a while."


    "Hiss, gu mohan!" Ye zhi coincidentally saw that he was looking for trouble, so she glared at him and scolded him.


    But even such a scene, in yi chen''s eyes, is particularly envious.


    Gu mohan was always cold and fierce in front of outsiders, but when faced with ye zhiqiao, he was willing to stoop down and do small things, and even show off from time to time that he didn''t care. Ye zhiqiao''s gentle and polite personality was completely released in front of gu mohan. She could glare at him and take care of him. It seemed that they had found the person they loved the most, and had also become the other party''s favorite in the most relaxed manner. She looked so happy and lucky.


    Yi chen was still heartbroken, but he was also happy that ye zhiqiao could get such a love. He finally saw through it. Since he couldn''t get it, he might as well let her go and let her rely on her happiness, and he could silently escort her from behind.


    He curled his lips and smiled gently, hiding the slight bitterness, then said, "I actually came here today for another purpose. A week later, it''s my birthday party. If it''s convenient for you then, I would like to invite you over."


    To be honest, gu mohan reflexively refused to attend yi chen''s birthday party. Of course, the man who coveted his woman, he took ye zhiqiao to that person''s birthday party, didn''t he send the sheep to the tiger''s mouth?


    However, gu mohan thought again, after yi chen''s arrival today, all sorts of performances were still good, and since ye zhiqiao announced his relationship with him in front of the media last time, yi chen had not caused any trouble, it seemed that he was willing to admit defeat.


    For a loser, if he is too harsh, it seems a little ungentlemanly, and ye zhiqiao should want to continue to be ordinary friends with yi chen, he can''t force ye zhiqiao to break up with others because of his jealousy.


    Based on these considerations, gu mohan finally said, "I heard zhiqiao."


    He turned his head and said to ye zhiqiao, "If nothing happens, I can be discharged in three days. Do you have time to attend? If you do, I''ll come with you."


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised at his magnanimity and disregarding the past grudges, but when she saw that he was genuinely sincere, she smiled softly and replied, "I don''t need to work for the time being. I have time."


    Gu mohan smiled and nodded, replying to yi chen, "Then I''m sorry. We''ll be there on time."


    Yi chen looked at ye zhiqiao next to him, then turned his eyes to gu mohan, with a look of joy and gratitude. Even if he couldn''t have a result with ye zhiqiao, it would be the best birthday present for him to see the woman he liked on his birthday.

 Chapter 273 Meeting a Scoundrel

    Three days later, gu mohan was discharged.


    At this time, little treasure''s wound had also recovered. In order to thank jian mengqi for taking care of him and to celebrate the end of gu chengyan''s event, gu mohan specially suggested five people to relax outside for a day.


    So, two days before yi chen''s birthday party, the five of them gathered early in the morning and left in a car after he went home to deal with the company''s accumulated business. First, they went to the recently established scenic area of the city to play around, then turned to the amusement park, the business district, bought a lot of gifts, ate a lot of snacks and snacks, and finally looked at the time of nearly seven o'' clock, under jian mengqi''s strong recommendation, came to the recently popular rich second generation of the city, a new chinese restaurant.


    The service and dishes in the restaurant were very good, especially the imitation of the decoration of the bar. Under the dim light, people were able to get as much relaxation and freedom as possible, eating and drinking more freely. Even Qin Baiye, who was usually more self-disciplined, couldn''t help but get drunk in the end.


    Not to mention the crazy jian mengqi and Mr. Gu, who had just recovered from a serious illness and were in a good mood, they had to fight until the end, but before the waiter could bring up the wine, they both fell asleep and couldn''t wake up.


    Ye zhiqiao was probably the only sober person on the table besides xiao bao. Because she was responsible for taking care of xiao bao, jian mengqi granted her a drink. Qin Baiye listened to jian mengqi, and gu Mohan was reluctant to let her drink, so she escaped.


    But now faced with a table of drunkards, she did not know whether to be happy or worried.


    Because when the few people came over, gu mohan was driving, ye zhiqiao was holding little treasure in the passenger seat, while Qin Baiye and jian mengqi were sitting in the back. But now that the three people were drunk, the car had to be driven by ye zhiqiao, but then little treasure would have no one to take care of him. There were only a few seats, so you can''t let the drunkards hold little treasure, right?


    Besides, they bought a lot of things today, and the trunk couldn''t fit in. Even if the rest were stacked up, it would take up a person''s place. People could squeeze when they were sober, and it was impossible to get drunk.


    Ye zhiqiao was worried about going home. Little treasure pulled the corner of her clothes and said, "Aunt ye, little treasure wants to go to the toilet."


    "Mmm." Ye zhiqiao nodded, took her down from her seat, took her hand and walked to the bathroom. She was still thinking about what happened until little treasure came out of the bathroom, but there was no result.


    "Aunt ye..."


    Ye zhiqiao was thinking about something and didn''t hear what little treasure said. She bent down and asked, "What did little treasure just say? I''m sorry, aunt ye didn''t hear me clearly."


    Little treasure glanced ahead as if nothing had happened and whispered in ye zhiqiao''s ear, "Auntie, that uncle was there just now. He''s still here. He''s so scary. He''s been staring at you."


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao followed her gaze and saw a man leaning against the wall at the corner of the corridor. When she looked at him, the man immediately stood up and walked towards them.


    It turned out that the light in the restaurant was dim, and the bathroom was hidden, so she had to go through a corridor with only one light, so when she came over, ye zhiqiao was afraid that little treasure would not be able to walk very fast and did not notice that there was a man there.


    But since little treasure said he was there just now, it shouldn''t be wrong.


    Meeting a strange man in such a strange and dark environment, ye zhiqiao was a little nervous, but she still tried to calm her emotions and pulled little treasure forward, thinking that if he was just standing here without malice, it would be bad for her to be surprised.


    Unexpectedly, when she brushed past the man, her shoulder was suddenly pressed down!


    Ye zhiqiao felt a chill in her heart, and her body stiffened for a moment. She raised her hand and waved the man''s hand away. "What are you doing?" She asked coldly.!"


    The man chuckled and said, "Don''t be afraid, miss. I just want to be friends with you."


    She came up and pressed on someone else''s shoulder, laughing obscenely and lewdly. What else did she say about making friends?! Ye zhiqiao knew that she had met a scoundrel.


    She immediately felt disgusted, but the other party was a man. She definitely couldn''t take advantage of him, so she didn''t dare to act up. She pulled little treasure around him and walked back.


    However, the man refused to give up, two or three steps to catch up and block ye zhiqiao''s path, and said with a laugh, "What''s wrong? Embarrassed in front of the child? It''s okay. Find a friend and watch. Let''s play alone."


    Ye zhiqiao was already cursing in her heart, but little treasure had already heard the slander just now. If she really quarreled with someone, little treasure would definitely be scared, so she continued to ignore the man and wanted to leave.


    The man stretched out his arms and said impatiently, "All right, it''s enough to pretend. It''s all for fun. I''ll tell you what kind of white lotus you like. No matter what kind of flower you are, I''ll have to destroy it!"


    Little treasure could not understand what he was saying, but he could hear his threat. He looked at ye zhiqiao with a shiver, then grabbed the corner of her clothes and hid behind her.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled her hand tighter. When she turned her head, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a safe exit on her left. She secretly thought that if she could not, she would run out of the hotel and get rid of him before coming back.


    After a while, the man was ignored once again. After drinking a little wine, he lost his temper and shouted, "Little bitch, I don''t want your face, do I?! I really don''t know who master is if I don''t give you some color! Okay, I don''t like the two of you, right? Then I''ll get you some more!"


    After that, he really took out his cell phone to make a phone call and shouted for his friends in the private room to come over.


    When ye zhiqiao heard this, she knew that the situation was not good, because no matter how many people the other party had, she was no match for a woman with a child, and gu mohan and the other three were drunk in the private room, and could not help at all.


    At this point, she had to run away!


    While the man was collecting his phone, ye zhiqiao suddenly picked up little treasure from the ground and ran towards the safety exit nearby. Perhaps her actions were too sudden, and the man''s drunken reaction slowed down until ye zhiqiao ran into the safety exit. When she went down from the second floor to the first floor, the man did not catch up with her.


    She took a deep breath and was just about to put little treasure down for a rest when she heard a loud noise coming from the quiet staircase. The sounds were getting closer and closer, and she seemed to hear the man just now saying, "It must be down. It''s too hard for her to carry a child upstairs..." !!


    Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly carried little treasure and ran away. She opened a door in a panic and rushed out, only to find that she had already run out of the hotel.

 Chapter 274 Driver Yi

    At this moment, she could not help but regret that she should have run to a crowded place just now. It was time to eat. The first floor of the hotel must be full of diners, and there were so many waiters. That man would not have come to this place, but the location of the hotel was near the suburbs, and it was difficult for her to find a passerby to ask for help when she ran out!


    What about going back?


    No, because she heard the man''s voice again, not far behind the door, and the sound of her opening the door just now might have been heard!


    The feeling of being chased was too terrible, and the other party was a group of drunk scoundrels. Ye zhiqiao could only run forward in panic, and at the same time took out her phone to call the police. She did not expect that the house would leak and it would rain overnight. Her phone had no power at all. Let alone call the police, it could not be turned on.


    "Ah! Aunt ye -"


    Just as she was at a loss, little treasure suddenly hugged her neck and screamed in horror.


    She turned her head and saw that four men were already chasing her from behind, watching her slowly move closer to her position.


    It''s over. The word suddenly appeared in her mind.


    If she were alone, she might still be able to get some life by running into the hotel, but holding little treasure, after a while, she could not lift a little strength, and her hands and feet trembled because of fear, so she could not run.


    "Hoo - hoo -" she tried her best to regulate her breathing while calming herself down. Then she hugged him tighter and wrapped his arms around his head and back.


    The man was already panting and swearing, "Tired... Tired to death, I can really run, little thing..."


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and retreated step by step, while the four men in front of her pressed forward. As they were about to retreat to the road, the man lifted an arm and put it on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder.


    "Don''t touch me!"


    "Stop!"


    While ye zhiqiao was shouting, another male voice came from not far away. The four men and ye zhiqiao turned around and saw a figure getting closer and clearer.


    "Yichen?"


    Ye zhiqiao was so surprised when she saw the person who came, she immediately ran to him.


    The scoundrel stood in front of her and warned yi chen, who was standing in front of her, "Kid, don''t meddle! I liked it first!"


    Yi chen turned to look at ye zhiqiao and asked, "Are you okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and bit her lips nervously.


    Yi chen gave her a comforting smile and then said to the scoundrel, "Get out!"


    "Hey! Looking for trouble?!" The scoundrel was already relying on a large crowd. When yi chen provoked him, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight. He cursed with impure words, "A little brat whose hair is not even fully grown is still following here... Ouch!"


    Before he could finish speaking, yi chen had already swung his right hook on his face, causing him to take a few steps back. Before he could stand still, he fell to the ground with his butt.


    When his companions saw this, they raised their fists and rushed up quickly. However, ye zhiqiao knew yi chen''s fighting ability. When he was abroad, yi chen fought with three strong black men. If it wasn''t for the other party''s knife, he wouldn''t have suffered at all. Now, the three people opposite him were all as thin as a hemp stick, and they couldn''t fight at all. They could only yell and scold like hooligans. In a few minutes, yi chen beat him to the ground and begged for mercy.


    Yi chen glanced at them and ignored them. He called the police and left with ye zhiqiao.


    On the way back, yi chen asked, "Why are you here? Come for dinner?"


    "Yeah, we were with mengqi Qin Baiye, but now all three of them are drunk." Ye zhiqiao smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I..."


    "You''re welcome." Yi chen waved his hand, not letting her continue.


    Ye zhiqiao touched little treasure''s head and asked after a while, "By the way, are you eating here too?"


    Yi chen "En" said, "This restaurant has been quite famous recently. My friend insisted on pulling me over. There''s nothing special about what I''m eating. It''s just stuffy in the room, so I came out to get some air. I could hear you from afar."


    "You know it''s me."


    Yi chen shook his head honestly, "I don''t know. It looks like a rogue teasing a little girl."


    Ye zhiqiao never knew that he had such a righteous heart and joked, "Are you ready to save the beauty?"


    Yi chen blinked and said seriously, "I was a hero to save the beauty."


    "... Hearing him say this, ye zhiqiao felt a little embarrassed for some reason and avoided by turning her head to look at little treasure.


    Yi chen realized that he had overstepped his words and changed the subject, "So... Have you finished your meal? You said they were drunk, so how are you going back?"


    After he reminded her, ye zhiqiao remembered the question she had been thinking about before she got into trouble with the scoundrel, "If you don''t tell me, I''ll forget. I''m dying of worry. The three of them were so drunk that they couldn''t even sit in the car. Even if they could, I couldn''t lift them."


    Yi chen was amused by her adjectives. After laughing, he suggested, "Or I''ll send you back. A friend recently got me a nanny car and insisted that I drive it. I just happened to drive here today, so I''m sure I can sit down with the three of them."


    Ye zhiqiao felt that yi chen had just helped her, and it was too embarrassing to trouble her so quickly, but she couldn''t think of any other good way, so she had to be thick-skinned to answer.


    So yi chen went back to the restaurant and said goodbye to his friends. Then he went to ye zhiqiao''s private room and carried gu mohan and Qin Baiye out one by one. Ye zhiqiao let xiao bao hold the corner of her clothes, and she dragged the drunk and dreamy jian mengqi into the car.


    After asking ye zhiqiao, driver yi parked his car under ye zhiqiao''s apartment building, which was close to the restaurant. Then, together with ye zhiqiao, he took the three drunks upstairs and went to the room to rest.


    Ye zhiqiao''s apartment was huge, but there were only three bedrooms. Although jian mengqi and Qin Baiye were lovers, they were guests. It was not good for Zhiqiao to throw them into one room when they were drunk, so she decided to give them one bedroom each, so there was only one bedroom left...


    Yi chen carried gu mohan to ye zhiqiao''s bedroom. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and asked, "He''s sleeping here, so you..."


    With his identity and the relationship between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan, he actually asked a lot more than that, so he took the initiative to smile and say before ye zhiqiao answered, "I don''t mean anything else, um... Since the person arrived, then I''ll go first."

 Chapter 275 No More Drinking

    Ye zhi turned her head in a daze and looked around at the messy house where she had brought three drunks up. She didn''t have the good intention of keeping him. She nodded and said, "Well, it''s getting late. You should go back early to rest. Your birthday is coming the day after tomorrow. You should be energetic."


    Yi chen had expected that ye zhiqiao would not keep him at this time, but although he was prepared, he was still disappointed, especially when gu mohan was sleeping soundly in ye zhiqiao''s bedroom. Gu mohan was drunk, so nothing would happen, but... Ye zhiqiao''s willingness to let gu mohan sleep in her room was enough to make him sad.


    "Okay." He lowered his head, uttered only one word and turned to walk out.


    It was not until he entered the elevator and went downstairs to get back into the car that he heaved a deep breath, his right hand caressing his chest, and found that it was bitterly sour.


    Upstairs, ye zhiqiao''s apartment was still brightly lit. With three drunks and a child, ye zhiqiao did not stop for almost a night. She did not wake up with the three sober people until around 10 am the next day.


    Drunk people don''t admit that they are drunk, and they often regret it after they wake up.


    Qin Baiye did not say anything, while jian mengqi complained bitterly that her image as a lady was gone. Gu Mohan, on the other hand, found it strange that the three of them were drunk. According to him, the amount of alcohol he had drunk yesterday was not even that bad.


    When jian mengqi heard him say this, she pursed her lips and teased him, "You can pull it. You can''t even drink as much as I can. You still blow it!"


    Gu mohan was too lazy to argue with her and turned to discuss business with Qin Baiye.


    "Are you going to yi chen''s birthday party tomorrow?" Gu mohan asked.


    Qin Baiye was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, "No. Isn''t the relationship between the Yi''s and the gu family not good? What am I going to do?"


    "Yeah." Gu mohan pinched his brows and said, "Zhiqiao and I are going. Yi chen went to the hospital to see me a few days ago and invited us to join him."


    Jian mengqi exclaimed and stretched her head out from the side to gossip, "Are you invited?" Is it zhiqiao herself?"


    Gu mohan glanced at her and repeated, "We, invited us." Then he turned to Qin Baiye and said, "Yi chen has been doing well for a while. He didn''t come out to cause trouble. He was quite decent when he went to the hospital, so I agreed."


    Ye zhiqiao added, "And yi chen helped me bring you back yesterday after you were drunk."


    "Oh?!" All three were surprised.


    Qin Baiye was the most shocked, because yi chen had a bad reputation in the circle before, he almost always looked down on yi chen, thinking that it was a rich second generation who relied on the money of his family to squander arrogantly, but did not expect that after ye zhiqiao rejected him in front of the media, yi chen actually did not hate and was willing to help.


    "It''s true, little treasure can testify." Ye zhiqiao pulled little treasure to her side and patted her on the head.


    Little treasure puffed up his mouth and said in a milky voice, "Mm-hmm, a bad uncle ran after aunt ye, and uncle yi saved aunt ye."


    The three people who heard this for the first time were surprised again. Then, jian mengqi held ye zhiqiao''s arm and asked worriedly, "What bad uncle? You met a hooligan? Is everything okay?"


    "What can happen?" Ye zhiqiao pushed her away with her index finger on her forehead, then roughly described what happened and calmed everyone down.


    But although she said it easily, gu mohan still couldn''t help but be shocked. If it wasn''t for yi chen''s appearance yesterday, ye zhiqiao might have been bullied, and he was still sleeping in his room at that time!


    He sighed secretly, thinking that he must make a good mistake with ye zhiqiao later.


    Qin Baiye saw that he was thinking for a long time and did not speak, so he raised his foot and kicked him, "What are you doing? In the middle of what I said, why did you ask me if I was going to yi chen''s party?"


    "Ah? Oh!" Gu mohan regained his senses and opened his eyes forcefully, "I want you to look after little treasure. I don''t want to bring little treasure to tomorrow''s birthday party. I''m worried that yi shaozhi is there."


    After Qin Baiye heard this, he nodded clearly, "Okay, now that gu chengyan is still at large, it''s not safe for little treasure to rush out. Well, I''ll go back with mengqi and make some arrangements, then pick up little treasure tomorrow morning."


    Naturally, jian mengqi had no objection, so she immediately said goodbye to ye zhiqiao and followed Qin Baiye out the door.


    After the two of them left, gu mohan immediately got up and pulled ye zhiqiao into the bedroom. The speed and movement were so fast that little treasure and ye zhiqiao did not react.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him as he closed the door and asked, "What''s wrong? What''s the matter? Little treasure hasn''t eaten yet. I have to cook for her now."


    "Wait, give me ten minutes." Facing her, gu mohan took her hand and took a deep breath, "I apologize to you."


    "What?" Ye zhiqiao didn''t understand.


    Gu mohan raised his voice and repeated, "I want to apologize to you. Last night... I was so drunk that I didn''t even know you were in danger, and someone else had to save you... I''m sorry, Zhiqiao."


    So that''s why.


    Ye zhiqiao blinked. In fact, she was not angry at Mohan at all. Everyone went out yesterday just for fun. Who would have thought that something like that would happen? It was just an accident. However, it was rare for such a shameless person like gu mohan to apologize so seriously all of a sudden. If she did not take the opportunity to tease him, she would feel a little guilty.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao deliberately put on a straight face and said, "You still know you''re wrong. Will you do it again next time? Are you still drunk and unconscious?"


    Gu mohan hurriedly promised, "No, no, I will never do this again!"


    "Cough -" ye zhiqiao coughed lightly, held back her laughter and continued, "No, I don''t believe you."


    "Ah?" Gu mohan did not expect her to be so persistent, and he was a little confused. After all, if ye zhiqiao was unhappy because of such a small matter as being drunk, then he really did not know how to make ye zhiqiao happy.


    "Then how can you believe it?"


    Gu mohan asked with a low brow, but ye zhiqiao still refused to let him go, and asked indifferently, "You can promise not to drink again in the future."


    This request was indeed a bit excessive, and how difficult it was to quit drinking was not mentioned for the time being. It was impossible not to drink as gu Mohan and often needed to go out for social work. But if he didn''t agree with ye zhiqiao, he would be angry. If he did, he couldn''t break his promise. He must do it.


    This made young master gu very worried.

 Chapter 276 Egg Soup

    Ye zhi coincidentally saw gu mo''s bitter face, wanting to discuss but not daring, and finally felt a little softhearted. Just as she wanted to tell him that she was teasing him, she saw him suddenly straighten his chest and say resolutely, "Okay, I promise you, I won''t touch a drop of wine in the future!"


    That tone sounded. It was like an oath.


    "Poof -"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help it any longer. She covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other. She bent down and laughed. Tears were coming out of her eyes.


    Gu mohan was shocked by her appearance and stared at her for a few seconds before finally realizing, "Zhiqiao... Are you... Kidding me?"


    "... Ye zhiqiao took the time to look up at him, then bent down and laughed.


    "Are you really lying to me?!"


    Gu mohan finally understood. Grinding his teeth, he lunged at ye zhiqiao and picked her up with a bow. Then he threw her back on the bed and said in a hateful voice, "See if I don''t clean you up properly!"


    He didn''t throw too hard, but ye zhiqiao was still startled by the sudden weightlessness. Just as she was about to stand up and resist, a tall figure jumped up and directly blocked her lips...


    The real time to start cooking was more than half an hour later.


    Ye zhiqiao dashed out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Her cheeks were still red when she wore an apron. When she turned her head, she saw gu mohan with a bad smile on his face. She gave him a shy and shy look.


    Gu mohan chased after her shamelessly, resting his chin on her shoulder as she took out the ingredients to cut the vegetables, "How can we let chef ye do such unskilled work? Shall I?"


    "You? Will you?" Ye zhiqiao tilted her head and recalled, "Oh, I did make a table of dishes last time, but they were all learned from aunt Li. I guess they only have a few dishes, right?"


    Gu mohan grudgingly clicked his tongue, grabbed the knife from her cell phone, and raised his voice. "It looks like you don''t know how powerful your man is until I show you a few hands! Go ahead, cut what?"


    "Tofu." Ye zhiqiao lifted her chin at a piece of white and tender tofu on the plate, then added, "But this is the signature water tofu bought from that old bean curd shop. It''s very tender. I want to make crab bean curd soup for little treasure, so you have to cut it into shreds. The thinner the better, it can''t be broken. Can you do that?"


    Gu mohan curled his lips and thought to himself, isn''t it just a piece of tofu? What''s the difference between them and those sold in supermarkets and markets? It''s not like he hasn''t done it before. He learned from aunt Li about braised tofu, crispy tofu and mapo tofu!


    "No problem!" He answered confidently.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded with her mouth bulging and turned around to deal with a few cute little crabs in the pond.


    The crabs were washed and steamed in the pot. After they came out, they took out the crab roe and prepared the soup. Then they took out the crab meat and kept the porridge. As for the crab shells, they were washed clean again and used when the last plate was set.


    Twenty minutes later, ye zhiqiao skillfully finished the work and almost dropped her chin when she left to see gu mohan.


    "Gu mohan... You... What did you cut?!" She reached out her index finger and carefully ordered the tofu paste on the chopping board.


    Gu mohan tilted his head and suggested as gently as possible, "In fact, the tofu paste and crab roe are very delicious..."


    Ye zhi coincidentally raised her hand and gave him a shudder, "Little treasure''s stomach hasn''t been feeling very well lately, but she insisted on eating crabs. I just wanted to make a soup for her. How many crabs would she have to eat if she cooked them?"


    Gu mohan looked at the tofu paste on the chopping board with a worried face and muttered, "I also thought this thing was so soft, like japanese tofu."


    "Cut!" Ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Okay, okay, I should have known how destructive you are. Why don''t you go out and play with little treasure for a while and eat directly later?"


    Gu mohan was very unhappy with ye zhiqiao''s ridicule and the fact that he was on the same level as little treasure. Not only did he refuse to leave, but he also had to do his best to correct his name.


    Seeing that it was almost noon, ye zhiqiao had no time to follow him, so she closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.


    A few minutes later, gu mohan took out a steaming egg soup from the microwave and raised it to ye zhiqiao, who was busy frying fish, and insisted on her evaluation.


    But his blinking eyes clearly said, "Praise me, praise me!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him helplessly, then turned off the fire and carefully tasted the carefully cooked egg soup.


    The egg soup was steaming hot with a hint of sesame oil. It was golden in color. When it was scooped up, it trembled like tofu and only added a small amount of salt.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her thumb and praised sincerely, "Yes, master gu''s egg soup is not bad."


    The praised gu mohan grinned from ear to ear and immediately scooped up another spoonful for her to continue eating.


    Ye zhiqiao reached out to block it, pointed to the door and said, "Little treasure only drank one cup of oatmeal this morning. He must be hungry now. Give this to her first, but don''t eat too much, or else he won''t be able to eat in a while."


    "Yeah, okay." After ye zhiqiao reminded him, gu mohan remembered little treasure who had been sitting in the living room watching tv since then. Because he and ye zhiqiao were busy cooking, it seemed that they hadn''t heard little treasure''s voice for a long time.


    Gu mohan carried the egg soup to the living room and placed the bowl on the coffee table. When he saw little treasure staring at the tv screen and not moving, he reminded him, "Little treasure, watching tv for too long is bad for your eyes."


    Little treasure pouted, but there was still no movement.


    "Little treasure?"


    Gu mohan walked up to her strangely and patted her on the head, "Be good. Admit to eating the egg soup first, then look."


    Usually, little treasure was very sensible and self-disciplined, and rarely needed adults to ask her to do anything. But today, little treasure was a little abnormal. Gu mohan said it several times, but she didn''t respond. She didn''t even look at gu Mohan. She pouted her lips with a straight face, as if she was... Angry.


    Angry?!


    Gu mohan was surprised at his discovery, because ever since little treasure became sensible, he had been so angry that he could hardly be counted. Even when little treasure was a baby, he rarely cried. No matter what he saw, he always smiled, so he was especially liked by everyone.


    Gu mohan suddenly had no idea about the "Cold" little treasure. He quickly ran to the kitchen and asked for help from ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised to hear that little treasure was angry. She didn''t know before, but she had never seen little treasure angry since she met him. Once, she was sad and sad, and little treasure took the initiative to comfort her!

 Chapter 277 I Want to Marry You

    Ye zhiqiao followed gu mohan to the living room. The two of them sat down beside little treasure, one left and one right. After staring at little treasure for a long time without blinking, little treasure finally couldn''t stand it. He turned to say hello to ye zhiqiao and then continued to look back at the tv.


    Well, it looks like he''s really angry, but judging from his attitude, Zhiqiao was less angry than gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and hugged little treasure to her lap. She asked, half-jokingly and painfully, "Little treasure, did your father bully you? Or was his egg soup too bad? Tell auntie that she won''t spare him."


    Little treasure curled his mouth and looked up at ye zhiqiao, then turned to look at gu Mohan. Seeing the sincerity and worry on both faces, he gently shook his head.


    "Not because of dad?" Ye zhiqiao shook little treasure''s two small arms and asked sadly," is that because of aunt ye? Little treasure, you can''t help liking aunt ye."


    Seeing ye zhiqiao show a look of grievance, xiao bao quickly shook his head again and added vaguely, "No, it''s not that he doesn''t like aunt ye."


    Although gu mohan was very fond of little treasure, he really had no experience in coaxing children. Seeing that little treasure could not tell why he was angry for a long time, he waved his hand and promised, "Little treasure, don''t be upset. Daddy promised to buy you the barbie doll you like recently after dinner."


    Ye zhiqiao frowned when she heard this. Gu mohan''s teaching method was obviously flawed and not beneficial to the development of children.


    Just as she was about to remind him, little treasure had already rejected her, "I don''t want it. I don''t want barbie dolls. I want to play with aunt ye and dad... But you don''t take me with you..."


    Her voice was very low, but ye zhiqiao and gu mohan heard the last sentence. The two of them looked at each other and finally understood why little treasure was angry. It was because they had inadvertently ignored her.


    After figuring out the reason, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed little treasure''s head and explained, "Little treasure, aunt ye and father are going to the kitchen to cook, so there is no way to play with you for the time being..."


    Seeing little treasure''s eyes dimming a little, ye zhiqiao hurriedly finished her unfinished words: "But if you want, go cook with aunt ye and father, okay? Your father is really stupid and will only make trouble. Little treasure will go over and help aunt ye look at him, okay?"


    "Really?" Little treasure''s dark eyes suddenly brightened, and his soft face was covered with smiles.


    "Of course!" Gu mohan reached out to pinch her nose and picked her up from ye zhiqiao''s arms. As he walked towards the kitchen, he said, "You clever little brat, you must tell me what you''re upset about next time. Do you know what you scared dad into?"


    Ye zhiqiao pinched his ear and threatened, "Don''t talk about our little treasure!"


    Little treasure shook his head as he watched ye zhiqiao "Bully" gu mohan, while gu Mohan, on the other hand, looked as if he dared not say anything and clapped his hands happily.


    The three of them returned to the kitchen. Ye zhiqiao continued to fry the fish that she had not finished just now. Gu mohan was assigned to cut vegetables on the chopping board. As a supervisor, xiao bao stood on a small bench and stared at gu mohan''s every move.


    "Auntie ye, dad chopped up all the leaves of the cabbage!"


    "Auntie ye, daddy cut the carrots too big for little treasure to bite!"


    "Auntie ye, dad doesn''t wash the knife after chopping onions. It stinks!"


    ...


    And ye zhiqiao, naturally, was on the side of little treasure.


    "Gu mohan, you have to work hard."


    "Daddy gu, little treasure is changing his teeth recently. You have to cut the carrots thinner."


    "Master gu, go wash the knife!!"


    ...


    With little treasure''s "Help," the lunch that was supposed to be eaten before twelve o'' clock was postponed to one o'' clock in the afternoon, but the three of them were busy cooking and stumbling, but they did not feel any impatience at all. Instead, they were immersed in the wonderful cooperation of the three of them.


    Gu mohan leaned on the counter and watched as ye zhiqiao scooped a spoonful of the boiling soup from the "Chug chug chug." When she blew it cool and fed it to little treasure, her heart softened, as if the sun was shining gently into the kitchen.


    He couldn''t help but say, "This life is really good. In the future, I must put my work aside and let the three of us stay together often."


    Ye zhiqiao paused and looked up at him with a smile, "Okay, then I''ll stop writing designs and stay at home."


    The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then ye zhiqiao closed the fire and filled the soup. The three of them took the cooked food to the table together and finally ate the breakfast lunch and afternoon tea.


    After dinner, gu mohan volunteered to wash the dishes. Ye zhiqiao was rarely free, so she stayed in the kitchen with him.


    Gu mohan was clumsy when cutting vegetables, and the dishes were still clean. Ye zhiqiao drank a cup of tea slowly while praising, "Young master gu is not bad."


    "Of course!" Gu mohan did not know how to be modest at all and looked rather proud.


    After a moment of silence, gu mohan said again, "Zhiqiao, there''s actually something I''ve been thinking about for a long time. I want to discuss it with you."


    "Hmm?" Ye zhiqiao raised her eyes and motioned him to continue.


    Gu mohan was so angry that he put down the dirty bowl and washed his hands before saying, "You... I want to marry you. Of course, don''t get me wrong. I''m not proposing. If I propose to you, I''ll be very formal. I just want to ask your opinion first."


    When she suddenly mentioned marriage, ye zhiqiao, who had been smiling faintly, suddenly showed a slight stiffness.


    It was not that she had not expected gu mohan to mention it recently, but that it would be on such a warm and beautiful afternoon. She felt that her answer would become a dark cloud that would hide the sun.


    "Zhiqiao?" Gu mohan did not get an answer for a long time, and ye zhiqiao''s face suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. He could not help but remind her.


    Ye zhi coincidentally put the cup in her hand on the counter, hesitated for a long time, shook her head and said, "Mohan, I''m sorry. I..."


    "Why are you sorry?!" Gu mohan interrupted her and asked in confusion.


    "Listen to me first, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and continued, "You know what''s going on in your family. Uncle and auntie really don''t like me very much. We may not even be able to get along peacefully, let alone enjoy ourselves. I don''t think it''s appropriate for us to get married in this situation."

 Chapter 278 Seasickness

    Gu mohan stared at ye zhiqiao in disbelief. He thought that ye zhiqiao would be happy and excited or shy when he said he was going to marry her. The worst result should be to think about it, but ye zhiqiao actually... Actually rejected it directly!


    "Then... Then even if you don''t have a good relationship with my parents, what does it have to do with us getting married? Anyway, you''re going to live with me and little treasure in the future. If you''re afraid that it won''t look good when you get married, then we won''t invite them or travel to get married. We can listen to you!" Gu mohan eagerly suggested his own solution.


    But in ye zhiqiao''s opinion, his method was not only childish, but could also have the opposite effect.


    She still shook her head and said slowly, "Marriage is not a matter of two people. How can you go and make a scene with your family because of me? Even if you do, I won''t agree."


    "I don''t want to be at loggerheads with them." Gu mohan frowned slightly and raised his voice, "I know you''re afraid of affecting my relationship with my family. Then I promise I won''t lose my temper in front of them. I''ll endure everything. Is that all right?"


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head away, "That''s not what I meant. Some things can''t be explained in a few words. Anyway, I don''t want to cause you any trouble, so about getting married... Let''s think about it in the long run."


    Gu mohan was persistent. "What do you mean by'' taking a long view''?" Are you rejecting me?"


    "Yes." Ye zhiqiao nodded and admitted.


    Gu mohan was stunned and his arm, which was trying to put on her shoulder, froze in midair. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Why on earth? Can you explain to me what''s wrong and let me know?"


    "Huh-"


    Ye zhiqiao took a long breath, lowered her head and said, "Let''s not talk about this, I... Tomorrow is yi chen''s birthday, I will go back to my room to prepare a gift for him."


    With that, ye zhi left the kitchen without looking back.


    She walked quickly back to her bedroom, took out her already prepared drawing board and brush, and sat down by the french window to draw.


    But when the tip of the pen fell on the drawing paper, his mind could not calm down.


    The outline of the figure gradually appeared on the white paper, and then it was meticulous to the expression of the brows and eyes, but ye zhiqiao''s mind was still entangled by gu mohan''s words just now. When the sun was setting and the sky was full of rays, she looked at the portrait of Jinhui, which was clearly the face of yi chen, but ye zhiqiao did not know whether she was painting yi chen or gu mohan.


    Fortunately, from that time until the next morning, the two of them sent little treasure to Qin Baiye''s house and went to the party. Gu mohan never mentioned marriage again, and ye zhiqiao naturally did not ask again. The two of them maintained a tacit understanding that nothing had happened, and still looked after each other and talked and laughed.


    The venue chosen for yi chen''s birthday party was an island, so the two of them had to drive to the port first and then take a boat there.


    The person who came to greet gu mohan and ye zhiqiao was yi chen, the leading actor of the day. He was just picking up two people, but he drove a leisure yacht over. According to ye zhiqiao''s vision, there were at least two cabins on top. "


    However, no matter how luxurious the boat was, no matter how advanced it was, it didn''t make any sense for ye zhiqiao''s seasickness.


    The boat had only been sailing for less than two minutes, and it was still a long way from the island. Ye zhiqiao could not help but throw up the toilet.


    Seeing that her face was still green after she had vomited in a daze and there was no sign of improvement, gu mohan suggested that she go to the deck to blow the wind. After all, standing in an open environment would reduce the symptoms of seasickness a lot.


    Ye zhiqiao was really uncomfortable, so she ran up to the deck before gu mohan who flushed the toilet bowl. She leaned against the railing and gasped for air for a long time before she saw gu mohan slowly walking over with a bottle of water and a small box in her hand.


    "Why did you come here?" She felt much better and asked casually.


    "Yeah." Gu mohan''s voice was muffled. He hesitantly handed over the small box in his hand and said, "Take some seasickness medicine."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan in surprise and asked, "You knew I was seasick, so you prepared ahead of time?"


    Ye zhiqiao usually did not get carsick, but her fear of water was not small. She tried her best to stay away from the water since she was young, and she could not swim. She had never been on a boat with gu mohan, so naturally she had no chance to mention it to him, but how did he know?


    Hearing her question, gu mohan''s face turned a little ugly. At this time, yi chen just walked out and said to ye zhiqiao honestly, "Young master yi asked me to give you the medicine. I think... He should have prepared it in advance."


    In fact, yi chen gave him the medicine because he wanted him to give it to ye zhiqiao in his own name. He didn''t want to take this opportunity to win ye zhiqiao''s favor. Gu mohan could not accept that others would pave the way for him. Ye zhiqiao was his woman, and it was his mistake not to take good care of ye zhiqiao.


    "I see." Ye zhiqiao was a little embarrassed, but she still thanked yi chen who walked over, "Thank you, yi chen. Not only did you come to pick us up personally, but you also prepared so well."


    Yi chen had already heard gu mohan''s words and said, "It''s okay. It''s all right. I wanted to find a hotel or a resort to have a good time, but they had to come to this island. There were always some elderly uncles and aunts, or people with seasickness like you who couldn''t get used to it, so I had people prepare seasickness medicine on every ship."


    A few words not only eased the embarrassment between the three of them, but also maintained a polite distance between themselves and ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao understood that he was trying to get out of trouble, and she was immediately moved. After taking the seasickness medicine, he thanked yi chen again, "I have been rude to you before. You can be friends with us and help us. Thank you very much."


    Yi chen waved his hand and then turned to gu mohan with a friendly smile.


    "That''s right!" Ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered something and pointed to the cabin and said, "I have prepared a present for you. You must be very popular today. I may not be able to catch your figure when I get to the island. Can I bring it to you now?"


    Yi chenxu did not expect ye zhiqiao to prepare a gift for him. He was flattered and asked, "Really? That''s great!"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and lifted her legs to walk towards the cabin, but was pulled by gu mohan behind her.


    "You just felt better, so don''t run around. I''ll get it for you."


    "No need." Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at yi chen and refused, "The gift I prepared is better for you. It doesn''t matter."


    As she spoke, she brushed away Mohan''s hand and turned to walk inside.

 Chapter 279 Was He Angry or Jealous?

    After a while, ye zhiqiao came out with a dark blue box and handed it to yi chen with both hands.


    Yi chen took the box with a smile and looked at it carefully. He asked politely, "What is it? Can you open it now?"


    Ye zhiqiao made a "Please" gesture, tilted her head and smiled, "Of course."


    Yi chen held the bottom of the box with one hand and slowly opened the lid with the other.


    Inside the box lay a small piece of blue satin cloth. On top of the cloth was a five-inch photo frame, and the photo above was of him, or more accurately, his portrait.


    Ye zhiqiao explained at the right time, "Originally, I wanted to give you the original print, but the paper was too big, so I always felt a little strange, so I asked professional staff to shrink it into the size of a photo, and it can also be used as an ornament, but... Compared to other gifts you received, it may not be expensive."


    Indeed, with yi chen''s family background and identity, his friends must have racked their brains thinking about gifts on his birthday. I heard that a few years ago, someone gave him a maybach s600. Recently, he began to contact the family business, in addition to familiar friends, people who are interested in working with the yi family also want to take advantage of this opportunity to be nice to him, so the level of gifts he received today is self-evident.


    However, no matter how expensive and novel the gifts were, in the eyes of yi chen, there was no one comparable to ye zhiqiao.


    "Who said it wasn''t expensive?" Yi chen held the photo frame in his hand and stared at it for a long time. He said to ye zhiqiao cheaply, "This is the designer''s'' wake up'' handwriting. Even the leaves on his collar can be seen! Not to mention that this painting is already very valuable, I''m sure there will be more room for appreciation in the future."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned by his praise. In fact, she really couldn''t think of anything that could be given to her before she had to use her old skills. She didn''t expect that yi chen not only didn''t dislike it, but also gave such a high evaluation.


    "Is it really that good?" Ye zhiqiao lowered her head modestly.


    Yi chen nodded hard, reluctant to put down the photo frame in his hand, "Of course, you don''t know, actually what I look forward to most is..."


    In the middle of the conversation, he seemed to realize that he had overstepped his distance. After all, gu mohan was still around. Subconsciously, he turned to look at gu Mohan, who had already darkened his face. His dark eyes were fixed on ye zhiqiao, who was chatting and laughing with him.


    Yi chen suddenly stopped talking. Ye zhiqiao also felt that the atmosphere was not right. She followed his gaze and bumped into gu mohan''s. A message was clearly revealed in her dark eyes, "I''m very unhappy."


    The scene fell silent for a moment, and ye zhiqiao and yi chen, whose smiles were still stiff on their faces, were both embarrassed.


    But yi chen didn''t want any misunderstanding between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan, so he straightened up his mood and smiled again. Shaking the photo frame in his hand, he said to ye zhiqiao, "I''ll put away the gift. En... They might drink me later, so I''ll go back to the cabin to catch up on my sleep. The air here is good. You can blow the wind."


    Ye zhiqiao thanked him in her heart for his understanding and nodded, "Yes, you have a good rest."


    "No more interruptions." Yi chen nodded slightly and quickly turned away.


    "He''s gone, and he''s ignoring me?" Gu mohan came to ye zhiqiao''s side and tucked her windblown hair behind her ears, asking half-truthfully.


    Ye zhiqiao tilted her head to avoid his movements. After a while, she sighed, "We are friends. Since we agreed to come, I hope you... Can... Don''t be so suspicious."


    "What happened to me?" Gu mohan encircled her from the side and rested an arm on the railing. He leaned over to her ear and said, "I have no doubts. You don''t like him. I won''t be jealous of him. But the picture you gave him has never been given to your boyfriend."


    "So you''re not angry, but jealous?" Ye zhiqiao looked at him calmly.


    Gu mohan frowned imperceptibly, his adam''s apple rolling and he replied, "Sort of." Then he asked, "If I was jealous, would you give me a gift?"


    Ye zhiqiao could not tell what was in his tone, but it sounded uncomfortable. Not only now, his attitude was a little strange since yesterday afternoon. Although he was still considerate, his smile was always a little forced.


    She knew that this might have something to do with her rejecting his proposal to get married yesterday, so she tried her best to hold back and wait for him to get there.


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao turned her head and looked at the island in the distance. She let the sea breeze blow her hair and replied lightly, "I''ll give it to you too."


    At this time, on the island.


    Yi shaozhi, a gentleman, held su yanbai''s hand and said softly as he got off the boat, "Be careful, it might be a little slippery here."


    "President yi is really conscious of his master. He is very considerate." Su yanbai''s tone was still lukewarm and did not give yi shaozhi any face.


    Yi shaozhi was not angry when he was rebutted in front of his own waiters and bodyguards. He still took good care of him. After getting off the boat, he approached su yanbai and whispered, "Yan yan, we agreed to cooperate, but don''t forget."


    "I didn''t say I was going back on my word!" Su yanbai angrily shook off his hand and said with a shudder of disgust, "But since you know it''s a cooperation, can you stop taking advantage of me? I told you, the reason I agreed to cooperate is because I can''t stand ye zhiqiao trying to teach her a lesson. It has nothing to do with you."


    Yes, a few days before yi chen''s birthday party, yi shaozhi took the initiative to find su yanbai, invite her to the party and cooperate with him.


    And su yanbai agreed, mainly to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with ye zhiqiao, but in addition, in fact, su yanbai still some of the old feelings between yi shao and her. Although they had never officially announced their relationship before, they did have a relationship, or maybe an affair. Su yanbai thought highly of herself and despised yi shaozhi, but yi shaozhi''s gentleness and gentleness allowed her to enjoy it. After separating, she had a few more relationships, and she thought more of the benefits of yi shaozhi.


    Sure enough, as she expected, not only was yi shaozhi not angry at her words, but he smiled magnanimously and said, "I understand all of this. I won''t misunderstand. I only cared about you because I wanted to. I''m sorry if I made you uncomfortable."


    Su yanbai pursed her lips and was too lazy to tell if he was a real gentleman or a fake villain.


    In silence, the sound of an engine suddenly appeared behind them. The two of them looked back together and saw a row of three people getting off the boat in turn.

 Chapter 280 Fiancee Su Yanbai

    When the boat docked, yi chen got off the boat first. Gu mohan didn''t need the help of the bodyguards. He walked down and reached out to help ye zhiqiao who was left behind.


    After landing and standing firm, the three noticed yi shaozhi and su yanbai a few meters away.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked at each other and continued to follow yi chen, while yi shaozhi brought su yanbai to greet them. The five of them met in the middle and each of them had an impeccable smile on their faces.


    Su yanbai was the first to speak, but she was not surprised to say to gu mohan, "Brother gu, why didn''t you tell me in advance when you came here? In that case, I''ll be with you."


    As soon as this was said, ye zhiqiao and yi chen''s expressions were somewhat stiff, while yi shaozhi looked like he was watching a good show.


    Gu mo han''s face was calm, and he wrapped his arm around ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and said lightly, "Of course I am with zhiqiao. Don''t you also have a flower protector, president yi?"


    Su yanbai followed gu mohan''s movements and looked at ye zhiqiao with sharp eyes. Yi shaozhi, who was mentioned, could no longer pretend to be a fool. He reached out his hand to shake gu mohan''s hand and smiled, "President gu is still so funny. I can''t be considered a flower protector. It''s my honor to take care of miss su."


    Gu mohan smiled and said politely, "Mr. Yi is humble."


    "Hey, you''re really old." Yi shaozhi waved his hand and said, "Although I am not much older than xiao chen, I still feel ashamed to stand with such an outstanding person like him and president gu."


    "Where? A mature man like president yi is the most popular nowadays. After all, strength is the most important thing."


    Seeing that the two of them had an endless tendency to be polite, yi chen quickly interjected, "Well, general manager gu and big brother are mature. You are both rare people, but long feng also needs to eat. How about we go in first?"


    "Ah... Hahaha! Look at me, I was so busy chatting with president gu that I forgot it was xiao chen''s birthday today. Good, good, Mr. Gu, miss ye, let''s hurry up and sit down, shall we?"


    Gu mohan naturally agreed. He smiled at yi shaozhi and nodded, then walked forward side by side with ye zhiqiao.


    On yi chen''s birthday, he rented the entire island, and each place was beautifully decorated, such as outdoor parties, bonfire parties, fireworks, yacht competitions, etc., but these were free time activities, birthday parties were held in the villa in the middle of the island in a proper manner.


    Because of this, when gu mohan entered the villa, he saw many familiar faces.


    Yi''s has a huge network in the business world, and the people invited are all business celebrities. Most of them have connections with gu mohan.


    If it was a normal day, gu mohan would certainly give face to each of them, but today was different. Today, su yanbai was also present, and he and su yanbai''s family elders were close friends. The matter of their engagement was being heated by the media. Although he had previously proposed to cancel the engagement, the people present at that time were all members of the su family. Naturally, they would not say such a shameful thing to the outside world, so that the truth was not known.


    Gu mohan nodded to a few of his friends who were approaching, then sat down in his seat, wondering when it would be appropriate to announce the annulment in public.


    Just when he felt that today was a good time, and that su yanbai and the important figures in the business world were present, and that neither of the elders of the two sides were present, saying it would not be stopped and could be spread as soon as possible, the noisy scene instantly quieted down, and then yi shaozhi''s thick and powerful voice rang out in the middle of the banquet hall.


    First, there was a long and familiar opening and thank-you note. Then, the party was supposed to be officially announced, but yi shaozhi suddenly changed the subject and raised his voice, "And today, I want to thank general gu mohan and general gu especially for coming to the birthday party for my brother. As we all know, general gu rarely condescends to attend such a party. Hahaha..."


    He laughed heartily, and the others applauded and cast a deep and friendly look at gu Mohan.


    Gu mohan ignored it and continued to focus on yi shaozhi. He always felt that yi shaozhi meant something else.


    Sure enough, yi shaozhi continued, "But today, not only did president gu come here personally, he also brought his fiancee, miss su yanbai, with him. It''s enough to see how much president gu values xiao chen as a friend!" !!!


    Fiancee! Su yanbai?!


    Hearing these two terms being put together, gu mohan''s face immediately darkened. He stared at yi shaozhi with heavy eyes as he was about to get up to explain, but he felt an even more noticeable gaze cast from the side.


    It was ye zhiqiao who came back from the bathroom.


    She did not expect that gu mohan would have become a couple with another woman after she had only been away for a short while. Wasn''t she unhappy because she had given yi chen a birthday present? Didn''t he go too far now?!


    Ye zhiqiao did not know what was wrong with her. Although she knew there might be a misunderstanding, her confused mind did not allow her to think much. She walked directly to the seat in front of her and sat beside yi chen.


    Gu mohan stared at ye zhiqiao, who was sitting opposite him. His feet moved to the side of the table and his hands were clenched into fists.


    The scene was still boiling with excitement because of yi shaozhi''s words. Su yanbai sat down beside gu mohan under the coax of a group of people and whispered to him with flushed cheeks, "I''m sorry brother gu, I didn''t know yi would always say that. I... They did that... I can''t help it..."


    What she meant was that the people around her were all cheering and she had to sit down.


    Gu mohan understood that she was in a difficult position and was not angry with her. What really made him angry was the opposite ye zhiqiao!


    "It''s okay." He turned his head on purpose and responded to su yanbai in a gentle voice.


    He did it on purpose to annoy ye zhiqiao, but su yanbai would not miss this opportunity and continue to pester him to chat: brother gu, did yi chen pick you up on the island just now? I heard that the boat you were on was specially modified. Would it be very special? "


    Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao and shook his head, "Nothing special. It''s not fast enough or steady enough. It''s easy to get seasick."


    "Oh-"


    Su yanbai responded meaningfully, then looked at ye zhiqiao, who looked a little gloomy, and raised her voice to ask, "No wonder sister ye''s face is so bad. I thought she didn''t take care of herself at first, but now it seems that she is seasick!"

 Chapter 281 Fighting Spirit

    The topic suddenly changed to ye zhiqiao, which caught her off guard. Before she could react, she heard su yanbai continue to use her sweet and soft voice to remind her, "Sister ye, don''t mind my words. This woman has to take good care of herself after 25 years. Like me, when I was a teenager, I had to do all kinds of beauty treatments regularly, so my skin would be so good."


    After saying that, she purposely raised her face at gu mohan, as if she wanted him to see how her skin looked.


    Seeing that gu Mohan did not respond, ye zhiqiao averted her eyes and smiled sarcastically.


    Gu mohan didn''t know if he knew her, but as a woman, su yanbai deliberately belittled and mocked her feelings. She was not a small-bellied woman, but she would not be willing to be angry if she was bullied maliciously. At this time, gu mohan''s performance was undoubtedly the biggest blow to her.


    Because of gu mohan, her sadness surpassed her shame and anger.


    She had no idea what she was thinking at the time. She felt her head go blank and her breathing quickened. Then she raised her hand and wrapped it around her dusty arm.


    Not a big move, only yi chen, su yanbai and gu mohan were noticed.


    Gu mohan''s brows furrowed in an instant, and his gaze at ye zhiqiao became extremely dissatisfied. Anyone with a clear eye could see this change, but su yanbai still approached gu mohan and spoke softly to him.


    From the moment ye zhiqiao sat down, yi chen could tell that they were fighting. He had a lot of experience in love, and knew that the more angry he was at this time, the deeper the misunderstanding would be. So the moment ye zhiqiao pulled him up, he wanted to explain.


    But when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw su yanbai helping gu Mohan tidy up his collar. Gu Mohan did not refuse!


    It was obvious how intimate it was for a woman to help a man straighten his collar. As a man, even if he is angry with his girlfriend, he should not do this with another woman. This is not called fighting spirit, this is called unclear!


    Yi chen was very angry at the scene in front of him. Thinking that ye zhiqiao must be in a worse mood than him at this time, he decided to follow ye zhiqiao''s intention and take good care of Mohan so that he could know what it would be like to see the person he liked being intimate with others.


    So, yi chen reached out his other hand to pat ye zhiqiao on the back of her hand and said in a soothing tone, "Zhiqiao, you like fish, don''t you? There''s tuna just arrived by air. It''s cooked in a foreign way. Would you like to try it?"


    Before he finished speaking, he had already brought a piece and put it on ye zhiqiao''s plate.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at the fresh and tender fish, nodded, then turned to yi chen and smiled, saying, "The beef is not bad, you eat it too."


    The scene of their interaction fell into gu mohan''s eyes, making him even angrier.


    Just then, su yanbai brought over a glass of red wine and asked coquettishly, "Brother gu, the aunt at the next table must treat me to a drink. But you know, I don''t drink well. Can you help me?"


    If it was normal, gu mohan would have refused her request without hesitation. But now, gu mohan was looking for an opportunity to vent his anger and show it to ye zhiqiao, so he took the glass of wine without hesitation and drank it up.


    "Good, president gu!"


    A few people at the next table applauded and cheered gu mohan. Su yanbai was smiling and smiling, but only ye zhiqiao buried her head deeply.


    When yi chen saw it, she cried.


    In the surrounding noise, yi chen handed over a tissue and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Zhiqiao, stop crying. There is no quarrel between couples. You must make others laugh at you."


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak and shook her head.


    She was not angry, but afraid that she would burst into tears if she took one bite. She had never been in love with bai zixuan since she was a teenager. She had never known that the person she loved at the center of love would hurt more than being denied, wronged, or insulted. Her heart was throbbing so hard that she didn''t even dare to look up.


    Yi chen''s hand was circled behind ye zhiqiao''s back. He wanted to hug her to give her a sense of security and dependence, but in the end, rationality prevailed over sensibility. He slowly withdrew his hand and put it on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder politely and restrained.


    "Well, if you cry again, your eyes will swell up. I''ve called a professional photographer team to take photos. If you go on camera like this, people will definitely say,'' hey, how can yi chen''s taste drop so much? How can you be friends with a girl with swollen eyes and a big face?"


    "Hmph."


    Yi chen''s teasing only resulted in ye zhiqiao''s gentle humming. He was not discouraged and continued to tease ye zhiqiao in various ways.


    The scene at the dining table fell into yi shaozhi''s eyes, which were not far away, leaning against the wall. He shook the goblet in his hand, stared at the dark red liquid flowing inside, and smiled.


    Unexpectedly, miss su, who usually seemed to only play around, could really come in handy when something big happened. In a few words, she successfully disturbed gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. Great! Only when gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had conflicts and gaps, could his plan succeed.


    Waving his hand, the guard at the side of the pillar came over, bent over and lowered his head, "President yi, please tell me."


    Yi shaozhi raised his chin in the direction of ye zhiqiao and asked, "What happened to the thing I asked you to prepare?"


    "Don''t worry, there''s absolutely no problem."


    "Good." Yi shaozhi praised with a smile on his face and pointed to the door, "Go ahead and make it clean."


    "Yes."


    The bodyguard promised to turn around and leave. Yi shaozhi looked back at the table not far away, where the show was much more exciting than the whole party.


    "Let go." Gu mohan glanced at his arm and said faintly.


    With his indulgence just now, su yanbai''s tail was already up in the sky. How could she be obedient? Instead of letting go, he tightened his arms and said in a voice that would kill him, "Brother gu, what''s wrong? I didn''t go too far, so don''t be so rigid!"


    Gu mohan tilted his head and leaned closer to su yanbai, warning her coldly in her deepening smile, "Stay away from me."


    "What?" Su yanbai thought she heard wrong and asked with a blank face.


    Gu mohan looked at her closely, but there was no movement in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at an unimportant object, not interested at all.

 Chapter 282 Rekindle the Old Love?

    "Su yanbai." He called her name word by word and said coldly, "I don''t understand the fight between you women, but I''m not stupid enough to see nothing. I''ve put up with what you did just now. Just do it yourself."


    Seeing gu Mohan expose the situation, su yanbai simply did not pretend to be ignorant. She said clearly, "Brother gu, I can also see that you are quarreling with ye zhiqiao. You treat her so well, but she doesn''t know how to cherish it. Why do you still talk to that kind of woman?"


    "That''s between us. You don''t have to talk."


    Gu mohan''s cold gaze fell and signaled her to let go again.


    Su yanbai refused and shook her head, "Okay, I won''t interrupt, okay? But you can''t leave me alone. Everyone saw us together just now. If you suddenly ignore me, I''ll be laughed to death."


    "Heh -"


    Gu mo laughed coldly. He grabbed su yanbai''s wrist and forced her to leave him for a distance. A faint curve appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said softly, "You pasted it on yourself. You asked for it no matter how others looked at you."


    After that, he shook his hand and threw su yanbai''s hand away like a piece of garbage.


    Su yanbai covered her aching wrist in shock. The first thing she did was to look around. Fortunately, gu mohan''s actions were carried out under the table. Both of them lowered their heads slightly and could not see their expressions clearly, so no one noticed the situation in the lively venue.


    Even so, su yanbai''s chest was still filled with depression. She stood up and walked to the door without looking back.


    But this is just a call to the back of the army, not to give up. She wouldn''t be willing to admit defeat just like that, as long as gu mohan and ye zhiqiao hadn''t reconciled... No! Even if she reconciled, she would not give up, she did not believe that gu mohan would always give up on a woman like ye zhiqiao!


    Holding her breath, she rushed out, but she happened to see yi shaozhi at the entrance of the venue. Su yanbai hesitated for a while and walked over.


    "Yi is really free. There''s still time to see the scenery here."


    Yi shaozhi leaned against the window. The blue sea in the distance connected with the sky, and the white clouds floated like an occasional motorboat on the sea, unpredictable.


    Hearing su yanbai''s youthful voice, yi shaozhi finally withdrew his gaze from the beautiful scenery and turned to look at the people around him.


    Her flaxen wavy hair trembled slightly under the sea breeze, and her almond-shaped eyes reflected the slow sky Jinhui. Perhaps because of her anger, her white and tender cheeks were still tinged with red, which made her look even more pink and tender, especially those lips, which were clearly a lovely girl''s appearance, but they were exceptionally plump and had the sexiness of european and american women.


    Yi shaozhi unconsciously pursed his lips and asked with a smile, "Have you been chased back?"


    "!"


    Su yanbai turned her head and glared at him without concealing her anger, "Do you have to say it when you see it?!"


    "Is miss su really angry?" Yi shaozhi tilted his head and spread his hands, "I just don''t think miss su will get angry because of a stinking man, because that doesn''t fit your temperament."


    Su yanbai raised her eyebrows and asked, "What should my temperament be like?"


    "Noble. Yan yan, you should be noble, not for anyone to put down their pride and fight for it."


    "You asked me to cooperate."


    "That''s right." Yi shaozhi stood up straight, bent his head slightly and said, "I think you can help me, but only if you don''t hurt yourself. But seeing you like this, I already regret it."


    Su yanbai curled her lips and looked at yi shaozhi. The man''s eyes were full of sincerity, but she could not tell how much sincerity was, and how much was camouflage.


    Yi shaozhi continued, "Yan yan, you know my feelings for you very well. In the past, you wouldn''t have no feelings for me either. Why don''t we try again?"


    Try again? Try what? Ambiguous, in love, or asleep?


    Su yanbai shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Is president yi confessing to me?"


    "Of course!" Yi shaozhi did not hesitate. Instead, he put his hand on su yanbai''s shoulder and said in a hurry, "Yan yan, I am confessing to you. I like you very much. You must know that instead of being hurt by gu mohan and wasting time on him, you might as well accept me."


    "I didn''t expect president yi to be a devoted person."


    Su yanbai laughed a few times, laughing until she fell back and forth. After a long time, she raised her head and asked in an uneven breath, "Yi shaozhi, you''re so funny. Haven''t you heard the saying that a good horse doesn''t eat grass? Think about it for yourself. When did su yanbai and I get back together, let alone that we don''t even have that kind of old relationship?"


    "Yan yan..."


    Su yanbai waved his arm away in disgust, frowned at him and said, "All right, yi shaozhi, don''t waste your energy. I will never be with you. Now, in my heart, as long as gu mohan is alone, and in the end, he will definitely be my bag."


    "Do you have to take care of Mohan? Besides having a bag of skin, what else is there to be pursued by su yanbai?" Yi shaozhi was puzzled and unwilling.


    Su yanbai turned around and found the unusual figure in the crowd. She gritted her teeth and said mercilessly, "Because he is stronger than you. Now he is stronger than you. He will be stronger than you in the future. And the Yi''s will never be able to match gu''s wrist. So not only is he a good man, but he also has a bright future."


    Yi shaozhi was extremely displeased with su yanbai''s words. Although the gu family had a deeper foundation than the yi family and occasionally had better methods, no one knew what would happen in the future! The last time he used only one article to almost make gu mohan fall off the altar. If ye zhiqiao hadn''t accidentally helped gu mohan by falling into the water, perhaps gu mohan would have been chased down from the position of the head of the gu family. Including now, his cooperation with su pan deeply threatened the development of the gu family. In the long run, this was the first place in the business world.


    Would he be worse than gu mohan?


    "Stop joking!" Yi shaozhi said contemptuously.


    Su yanbai glanced at him as lightly as she did. She had seen too many men, and she knew more about their innate confidence and fighting. Since she could not make sense of yi shaozhi, she was too lazy to waste her breath, "Okay, I don''t care what you do, but I can only look at gu mohan. So don''t bother me anymore, and don''t even think about me. Remember that."


    "Yan yan, you don''t care about the past?"


    "I told you, there''s nothing between us!" Su yanbai said coldly, then resolutely walked away.

 Chapter 283 Would You Like to Dance with Me?

    Yi shaozhi stared at su yanbai until her back disappeared around the corner. At this moment, the servant slowly walked over and asked for instructions from yi shaozhi, "Sir, the second young master said that the dance can begin after dinner. Look..."


    "Oh?"


    Yi shaozhi was so busy talking to su yanbai that he didn''t notice the situation in the banquet hall for a long time. Now, as expected, everyone had finished their meal and was chatting in twos and threes, standing or sitting together.


    As the master of the house, this was actually considered to have neglected the guests.


    "Start right away." Yi shaozhi quickly ordered.


    The dance on the island was naturally different from the usual one. There was no need for a dark environment or bright lights, just servants to lead the guests to the ballroom in the villa. All four windows were opened to allow the fresh sea breeze to freely flow in, then played some cheerful and casual dance music, and then the guests could choose their own dance partners.


    In general, this is an activity that increases intimacy and relaxation, and is conducive to digestion.


    It had to be said that this villa''s area was really big. The dance hall alone was about 200 square meters, and more than 30 guests stood up. They were still very free to move.


    This comfortable and free environment greatly soothed gu mohan''s emotions, so that he put down his previous anger with ye zhiqiao. Seeing that ye zhiqiao had already walked in with yi chen, as if he was about to sit in the rest area, gu mohan quickly walked over.


    "Zhiqiao."


    Ye zhiqiao took a glass of juice from yi chen and was about to drink it when she heard gu mohan''s voice above her head. She looked up subconsciously, glanced at gu mohan''s right hand, and asked, "What are you doing?"


    Gu mohan had the heart to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them, and did not care about her cold look. He smiled and asked, "Can I invite you to be my partner?"


    Ye zhiqiao was not a petty person and would not embarrass anyone in public. Just when gu mohan was sure that ye zhiqiao would accept his invitation, ye zhiqiao shook her head.


    "Sorry, I can''t."


    Ye zhiqiao rejected him, then lowered her head and drank the juice. But in the afterglow, she searched around the ballroom until she was sure that su yanbai was not there, and then she looked back.


    So, su yanbai wasn''t there, or maybe she didn''t want to talk to gu Mohan and get rid of him, so gu mohan came back to look for her. Then what is she? Spare tire? You can call it and throw it away. You can coax it with a smile and a few words?


    She''s not that cheap!


    "Zhiqiao, the air here is good. Exercise is good for your health and your mood will improve. Dance with me." Gu mohan did not give up and continued to discuss with ye zhiqiao.


    However, a word in his words just touched ye zhiqiao''s nerves. Ye zhiqiao suddenly stood up and controlled the volume and asked, "Why should I make my mood better? Am I in a bad mood? Don''t misunderstand me. I''m in a good mood. I''m very happy!"


    With that, she reached out her hand to yi chen and said softly, "Yi chen, the air here is really good. Would you like to dance with me?"


    "Ah?" Yi chen''s mouth grew into an "O" shape. He blinked at ye zhiqiao and then turned to look at gu Mohan. Before he could figure out what to say, gu mohan had already made the decision for him.


    "No, you can''t dance with him!"


    Gu mohan stopped ye Zhiqiao''s hand and his face darkened instantly, "I know you''re angry. I can explain or apologize, but you can''t anger me in this way."


    "I said I''m not angry!" Ye zhi coincidentally glared at him unwillingly and said sarcastically, "Your fiancee is not here and no one is dancing with you, but why do you care about me?"


    "You..." Gu mohan frowned and panted. Because yi chen was present, he did not want to discuss the matter between the two in front of outsiders, so he directly took ye zhiqiao''s hand and half-forced her out of the dance hall.


    "What are you doing?!"


    Staggering to the living room, ye zhiqiao struggled to pull out her hand and angrily asked, "Why did you pull me out? I still have to dance inside!"


    "I''ll dance with you." Gu mohan took a deep breath and calmed down.


    But ye zhiqiao''s "No need" once again aroused his impatience.


    His jaw tightened and he asked in a deep voice, "Why don''t you use me? Who do you want to talk to? And yi chen? I''m your boyfriend!"


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and reminded, "Whether you are my boyfriend or someone else''s fiance, you''d better think about it."


    Gu mohan knew it was because of this conflict, so he quickly explained, "That was a misunderstanding. Listen to me..."


    "I won''t listen!" Ye zhiqiao took a step back and shook her head, "I already saw it. And since your mother isn''t here today, no one is forcing you to admit that su yanbai is your fianc¨¦e. It''s entirely up to you."


    "When did I admit it?" Gu mohan was speechless. He never knew that a calm and serious person like ye zhiqiao would haggle over trivial matters and even deliberately distort his behavior.


    Ye zhiqiao was angry, how could she answer his question? She bit her lips and gave him a hard look, then turned around and ran out of the villa.


    At this time in the dance hall, yi chen waited left and right, but ye zhiqiao did not come back. Gu mohan did not care if he could ask for ye zhiqiao''s forgiveness, but ye zhiqiao''s state made him worried.


    Alas, he couldn''t help but get up and run out in the direction where the two of them had left. On the stairs, he happened to meet a servant who had just come in from outside. The servant said that when he saw gu mohan at the door of the villa, he rushed over directly.


    As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw gu mohan standing motionless in front of him, but there was only himself, but ye zhiqiao was nowhere to be seen.


    Yi chen walked over and asked, "Where''s ye zhiqiao?"


    Gu mohan glanced at him faintly and replied slowly after a while, "Let''s go."


    "Gone?" Yi chen was puzzled and continued to ask with a frown, "Where did you go?"


    "Why are you asking so much?" For a man who was so worried about his girlfriend, gu mohan was very dissatisfied and his tone became impatient.


    Yi chen looked around for a while, then replied calmly, "There are seas all around. Isn''t she afraid of water? What if I accidentally drown?"


    "... Gu mohan''s expression froze. It was obvious that yi chen had reminded him of this.


    Yi chen understood from the way he looked. He was so angry that he wanted to punch him.


    As ye zhiqiao''s boyfriend, you can''t let ye zhiqiao off, even if you are angry with her, even if you don''t remember what she is afraid of, even if you don''t care about her safety!

 Chapter 284 Ye Zhiqiao Had a Fever

    However, yi chen''s punch did not go down, because just as he raised his fist in the air, several bodyguards at the door suddenly ran over.


    These bodyguards were his men. Seeing that he and gu mohan seemed to have had some friction, they rushed over to help.


    When an outsider appeared, yi chen also calmed down. Thinking of gu mohan''s identity and his own identity, this punch could not go on.


    He waved at the bodyguards and raised his voice, "Take the villa as the center and search the entire island for ye zhiqiao. Inform me immediately if you find her!"


    The crowd answered "Yes," and immediately dispersed in search.


    Yi chen turned around and pointed at Mohan with his finger, then exhaled and turned to look for him.


    The area of the villa was very large. According to the requirements of dust, the bodyguards looked around the villa at first. Fortunately or unluckily, everyone quickly found ye zhiqiao''s position, but at this time, ye zhiqiao was lying on the ground with her eyes closed tightly.


    Ye zhiqiao was leaning against the outer wall in the corner of the villa.


    The bodyguards did not receive instructions and did not know about ye zhiqiao''s condition, so they did not dare to move her casually. They only helped her to the wall to make her comfortable. Now that yi chen had come, one of them took the initiative to tell him, "Young master, do you think miss ye has a fever? When I held her up just now, I felt that she was all hot."


    "Sick?!" Yi chen was shocked and reached out to caress ye zhiqiao''s forehead.!!!


    Yes, her forehead was burning so hot that when she looked closer, her cheeks were red and her lips were cracked dry.


    Yi chen could not help but wonder, how could this be? Previously, he was fine in the villa. There was no reason for a healthy person to be so sick in such a short time!


    But now is not the time to study how ye zhiqiao got sick. The most important thing is to reduce her fever first. According to this method, she must have pneumonia.


    Thinking of this, yi chen immediately picked ye zhiqiao up horizontally, ignoring the eyes of others, and carried her directly into his bedroom in the villa. The facilities inside were much more complete than those in the guest room, and it would be much more convenient if necessary.


    Gu mohan immediately followed him. After asking about yi chen''s general situation, he became nervous.


    "How could this be? Is it a fever caused by seasickness?" Perhaps it was an emergency, but gu mohan actually asked such a question as yi chen.


    Of course, yi chen would not give him a good look, choking angrily, "How do I know? Anyway, I''ve never heard of such cases, and she''s basically controlled her symptoms after taking seasickness pills. I don''t think she would have been so sick if she hadn''t been so angry and ran away by herself!"


    His words were harsh and pointed at gu mohan, but gu Mohan could not argue with him as confidently as before, because even gu Mohan thought that ye zhiqiao was sick because of him.


    When he came here, he was seasick, and ye zhiqiao was already uncomfortable, but he was still jealous because ye zhiqiao gave him a dust-prone gift, but coming here for the birthday party was clearly his answer.


    After that, he finally got to the island, but almost from Shanghai, the two of them began to get angry. He didn''t even say a word of concern. Even ye zhiqiao ran away in anger. He didn''t think how dangerous the environment was for ye zhiqiao. Instead, he just stood there and sulked!


    Now that I think about it, he really hates himself! He didn''t do anything to protect her and love her. No wonder ye zhiqiao didn''t want to marry him. Now even he didn''t think he deserved to marry ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan smoothed his hair, forced himself to calm down, and regretted blaming himself. He could wait until ye zhiqiao woke up before apologizing to her. It was important to treat ye zhiqiao now.


    He didn''t care about his face and asked yi chen kindly, "Is there a doctor here?"


    Yi chen was stunned, then remembered that he had just been in a hurry and forgot to call a doctor, but then he thought that because the island was temporarily rented, there was no family doctor.


    Seeing him shake his head, gu mohan said, "Then use the fastest boat and go back to the city to find a doctor."


    "Okay... Wait a minute!" Yi chen suddenly thought of something. He turned to gu mohan and said, "I think zhiqiao has a terrible fever. It will take at least an hour for the fastest boat to get ashore and find a doctor to bring her back. I''m afraid it won''t be too late. There''s an island nearby. There''s a doctor on it. Let''s go there."


    Just as gu mohan was about to agree, one of yi chen''s bodyguards suddenly said, "Young master, that doctor is very dark. The fee for his consultation is dozens of times that of the doctors in the city. I think it''s better to go back to the city first, and then..."


    "Go find him!"


    Without waiting for the bodyguard to finish, gu mohan had already made up his mind, "I will go out for any amount of money, but if something happens to ye zhi, no one can afford it!"


    Perhaps frightened by the grim-faced gu mohan, the bodyguard kept his mouth shut, not daring to say anything more.


    Of course, yi chen would also put ye zhiqiao''s safety first and personally go to the sea to invite the doctor.


    After yi chen left, the remaining bodyguards and servants left one after another. After all, there were many guests in the banquet hall that needed to be taken care of.


    Gu mohan was the only one left in the room to accompany ye zhiqiao. He simply moved a chair and sat down in front of the bed, watching ye zhiqiao without moving a muscle. Even if her eyes rolled or a cough could make his heart tighten.


    Ye zhiqiao was probably very uncomfortable, and even if she fell asleep in a daze, she was still very unstable. Her brows were always frowning, sweat was still dripping from her forehead and nose tip, and her lips were moving, and she didn''t know what to say.


    Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, gu mohan thought she was talking about something important, so he turned his head and put his ear close to her lips to listen.


    "Fuck... Egg..."


    Swearing?!


    Gu mohan did not understand, so he continued to listen attentively.


    "Gu mohan... Bastard... I... I am good to you... You bully... Bully me... And... Su yan... Su yan bai together... Anger me..."


    As she spoke, ye zhiqiao''s voice was filled with tears, as if she was really aggrieved.


    "I like you... No... Not married... I like you too... Only... Like you... But you... Don''t know... Don''t understand..."


    A period of ambiguous and intermittent words finally ended, and ye zhiqiao returned to her restless sleep again. Everything just now should be just the babbling in her dream.


    But gu mohan, who was standing by, looked heavy.


    It was not that he didn''t know that ye zhiqiao liked him, but ye zhiqiao seemed to be ashamed to express himself. It seemed that he had never said such a thing to him, and because of this, he was always unpredictable about ye zhiqiao''s intentions, which made him deeply uneasy.

 Chapter 285 It Was the Medicine Under Yi Shao

    But at this moment, he heard ye zhiqiao calling his name in his dream, saying that he liked him, saying that he was sad and wronged because of him. This feeling, he really did not know how to describe, was like the whole summer flowers opened in an instant, like his whole body soaked in the gentle sea, beautiful and relaxed.


    At the same time, he felt ashamed. He was a man and should love and take care of his woman, but because of his mistake, he let his woman lie here in a coma!


    Gu mohan closed his eyes, raised his hand and stroked ye zhiqiao''s cheek, saying softly, "I''m sorry, Zhiqiao. I was wrong. I shouldn''t have made you angry on purpose. I shouldn''t have been jealous for no reason. I shouldn''t have let you go alone. I should have chased you out. I promise, I won''t let you suffer in the future..."


    He stayed by ye zhiqiao''s bed and talked a lot until yi chen came back with the doctor to treat ye zhiqiao. He didn''t leave until ye zhiqiao woke up from fever.


    So when ye zhiqiao opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the nervous gu mohan.


    "How are you..." Ye zhiqiao was just about to ask him," why are you here?" But when she scanned the room, she realized that this was not the place where she fainted, and then she asked," why am I here?" Where is this?"


    Seeing that she woke up excited and excited, gu mohan hurriedly explained, "It''s the bedroom of the villa. You just fainted from a fever. The doctor came to give you some fluids. By the way, are you feeling any discomfort now? Although the fever has gone down, your temperature was so high at the beginning that the doctor was afraid that you would get pneumonia."


    It took ye zhi a long time to figure out what he meant with her swollen head. She closed her eyes weakly and shook her head to show that she was fine. Then, she said something that made gu mohan speechless.


    "I don''t have a fever, it''s... It''s yi shaozhi. He drugged me."


    The chair made a piercing sound on the floor. Gu mohan stood up abruptly, leaned over to ye zhiqiao''s side and asked angrily, "Why is he? What did he do?!"


    Ye zhi qiao closed her eyes, as if she still felt afraid in retrospect.


    "When I ran away, I wanted to go around the villa and stay alone on the sand behind. But just after turning a corner, I saw yi shaozhi standing in a corner. I felt a little strange and didn''t want to talk to him. But he insisted on calling me over. I didn''t ask him what was wrong. He didn''t say anything, so he insisted on letting me go..."


    "And then you went over?" Gu mo hanguang could not help but feel nervous as he listened, thinking that if he had been there, nothing would have happened.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and continued, "I went over, and then his hand, which was always behind him, suddenly stretched out. I smelled something... Like the fragrance of flowers, and then my eyes couldn''t see clearly. Then, I didn''t know anything."


    "Bastard!!!"


    Gu mohan slammed his fist on the bedside table, and ye zhiqiao involuntarily let out a low cry.


    "It''s okay. Don''t be afraid. I''ll go to yi shaozhi now and ask him to give me an explanation!" Gu mohan held back his anger and comforted ye zhiqiao, then turned around and rushed out in a murderous manner.


    Not long after, yi shaozhi, who was at a loss, followed gu mohan in.


    When yi shaozhi saw ye zhiqiao, he was as surprised as if he didn''t know her, "Oh, miss ye, what''s wrong with you? I just heard that xiao chen was sailing out to see a doctor, so you''re sick!"


    It was a real act.


    Ye zhiqiao glared at him coldly and asked, "Should I be the one who knows best if I''m sick?"


    "Hmm? What did miss ye say? How could I..."


    "Stop pretending!" Before yi shaozhi could finish, gu mohan had lost his patience and snapped, "Yi shaozhi! Why did you drug zhiqiao?!"


    Faced with gu mohan''s anger and ye zhiqiao''s cold resentment, yi shaozhi still looked as if he had nothing to do with it. He even asked, "President gu, what are you talking about? Why can''t I understand?" Miss ye is ill. What does it have to do with me? As for what you said about drugging, I don''t understand."


    Gu mohan nodded at him forcefully, gritting his back teeth and saying, "Okay, you can''t admit it. There are surveillance cameras all over the island, right? Let''s find out the truth. If I find out that you really did it, yi shaozhi... Just wait for me!"


    "You..." Yi shaozhi spread out his hands in a difficult position and smiled bitterly, "Isn''t president gu going to hurt the harmony between us? Oh, okay, okay. If the president wants to check, he can do it."


    As he spoke, he turned to the bodyguard and said, "Send two of you to accompany Mr. Gu to the monitoring room. Whatever Mr. Gu wants to see, he must find it!"


    "Yes, president yi."


    Yi shaozhi let out a "Yes" and put on an impeccable smile again, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. There are still a lot of guests who need to be taken care of at the dance. Let the two of them go to the surveillance with you. Call me if you need anything." He nodded and was about to turn around to leave when he suddenly added, "However, I believe that president gu will not come to me again."


    Then, under gu mohan''s gloomy gaze, he left the room with his head held high.


    "Mohan..."


    Ye zhiqiao called out to gu mohan softly, but since there were two bodyguards present, it was hard for her to say anything, but she always felt that yi shaozhi''s reaction was a little strange, as if she had confidence that gu mohan would never find anything.


    At this moment, gu mohan''s heart was full of finding out the true face of yi shaozhi and venting his anger for ye zhiqiao. He didn''t think much at all. He gave ye zhiqiao a "Reassuring" look and walked out with two bodyguards.


    The three of them went straight to the monitoring room. The security guards inside recognized the people around yi shaozhi and immediately got up to greet them when they saw them.


    One of the bodyguards ordered, "Bring up the surveillance of the back wall of the villa two or three hours ago. This general manager needs to check it out."


    "Back wall?"


    The security guard paused for a moment and then asked, "Where is it? There are six or seven cameras on the back wall, and there are surveillance blind spots."


    For some reason, when he heard the words "Monitoring blind corner," a bad idea suddenly flashed through gu mohan''s mind, and he immediately said to him, "In the middle, there is a part of the wall that has been dented about two meters!"


    Sure enough, the other party opened his eyes wide and explained, "That''s the blind spot of the surveillance, because the space is small, there is no camera installed, and the outside can not be photographed."

 Chapter 286 Im Not at Ease Here

    Gu mohan dashed back to his bedroom. When he opened the door, the bodyguard who had been carefully following him asked, "Mr. Gu, do you have any further instructions?"


    "No! Get back to yi shaozhi!!" Gu mohan yelled, then pushed the door open and walked in, slamming it hard.


    Ye zhiqiao had already heard the heavy footsteps in the corridor, and now she heard him scold people without any image. She guessed what had happened, supported herself up and saw gu mohan rushing in with a dark face. She asked softly, "Didn''t you find out?"


    Gu mohan grunted, his hands clasped around his waist and said angrily, "This bastard yi shaozhi, this old fox! The spot where you fainted was the dead end of the surveillance camera. There was no evidence!"


    Before he could finish speaking, he had already kicked the table next to him. A round table of solid wood was directly kicked to the ground by him. With a loud thud, the house was shaken.


    Gu mohan had not been so angry in a long time. This time, yi shaozhi played him like a fool and dared to attack his woman, but he had no evidence!


    Of course, he was not just angry with yi shaozhi, he was the most angry with himself, if he had been patient to coax ye zhiqiao, or chase her in the past, this would not have happened.


    "Ah--"


    Gu mohan sighed, unsure whether to be angry or to blame himself. He frowned and looked into the corner, lost in thought.


    Ye zhiqiao had already seen that yi shaozhi was prepared, so she was not disappointed with the result. However, seeing that gu Mohan showed such a distressed look, she couldn''t help but worry. She persuaded, "It''s okay. If there is no evidence, it''s okay. I''m fine now. His goal didn''t work out. Besides, we''re living under someone''s roof. Let''s just bear with it."


    "How is that possible?!" Hearing what she said, gu mohan suddenly raised his voice, "Although there is no direct evidence, the surrounding surveillance can prove that he was there at that time. I will go and confront him face to face later!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled dejectedly and said helplessly, "Do you think he will tell you? Even if it is, this is his territory. He can say that he has something to go to, or go to see the scenery, or even go for a stroll. But what can this prove?"


    "...


    Gu mohan''s lips tightened and his eyes darkened. He understood what ye zhiqiao meant. In fact, he had already thought of it, but apart from trying like this, he really couldn''t think of any other way.


    Ye zhi walked lightly out of bed and came to him with a gentle smile on her face. She comforted him, "Don''t think about it anymore. It''s all over. Now that my body is almost recovered, don''t worry about it, okay?"


    Gu mohan lowered his eyes and looked at her. After a long time, he reached out and held her in his arms. He took a deep breath and said, "I just don''t want you to be wronged, and it''s about safety."


    "I understand." Ye zhi gently patted his back and continued, "If you really feel wronged, take me away quickly. I don''t want to stay here for a second."


    Surprised, gu mohan pulled her away and held her shoulder, "When? Now?"


    "Yes, let''s go now. Just as the birthday present is over and the party has already appeared, it''s not impolite to leave."


    "Not yet." Gu mohan thought for a moment, but refused, "You are just a little bit fit. How can you get on the boat?"


    Thinking that he would not agree, ye zhiqiao fought for it, "Isn''t there any seasickness medicine? That''s good. I can have two first."


    Gu mohan shook his head, "That won''t do either. It''s better to rest in your room than to run outside. You should stay here first."


    "It''s here that you can''t be at ease." Ye zhiqiao pushed his hand away and looked out the window with her arms in her arms.


    The party seemed to have ended, and the guests were all walking towards the beach in small groups. Some young people were so fast that they had already plunged into the sea.


    Ye zhiqiao sensed the chill and turned to gu mohan, "Although I don''t know what yi shaozhi wants to do, he won''t let me get away with it. He might fall for it if I stay here. Let''s go back, okay?"


    After ye zhiqiao reminded him, gu mohan came to his senses. He had been worried about ye zhiqiao''s health and wanted to avenge her, but he had forgotten to consider the reason why yi shaozhi would deal with ye zhiqiao.


    Yi shaozhi must have done this to get into trouble with him. Needless to say, they are all in yi shaozhi''s territory now. If yi shaozhi really wants to do something, they will probably be caught off guard. If that is the case, it is best to listen to ye zhiqiao and leave first.


    After thinking about it, gu mohan finally agreed, "Well, let''s go."


    Ye zhiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Then shall I go with you to find yi chen?"


    "No, I can go by myself. You can rest for a while while now. The situation after you get on the boat is uncertain."


    Gu mohan helped her sit down on the bed and then went out to look for yi chen.


    Yi chen was being pestered by a group of people to play beach volleyball. In fact, he had long wanted to use the excuse to leave to see ye zhiqiao''s situation, but his friends refused to let him go. Later, he heard the servant say that ye zhiqiao had woken up and was relieved, so he continued to play volleyball absent-mindedly.


    Seeing gu Mohan calling himself, yi chen finally found the reason, threw the ball in his hand into the air and ran over.


    "Ye... Is ye zhi better now?" He asked breathlessly.


    Gu mohan looked expressionless at yi shaozhi in the distance, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Much better, but there is still a slight fever, so we want to leave first and go to the hospital for treatment."


    "Are you leaving?!" Yi chen suddenly got stuck in his throat and straightened up and asked, "What''s the hurry? Isn''t it all right?"


    "Yes, can you help prepare the boat?" Gu mohan replied perfunctorily and asked.


    Yi chen saw that gu mohan did not want to explain to him and understood that since gu mohan said he was leaving, then ye zhiqiao must have agreed.


    He had no choice but to hold back his doubts and worries and wipe the sweat off his face and say, "Okay, I''ll make the arrangements now. When you''re ready, come to the dock."


    "Thank you."


    "Oh yes!" Seeing that gu Mohan was about to leave, yi chen reminded him, "There''s seasickness medicine in the cabinet in the bedroom. Don''t forget to take it."


    "Okay, thank you."

 Chapter 287 A High Fever Rose Again

    With the "Woo woo" sound of the engine, the yacht gradually drifted away. Yi chen stood still on the stone, staring at the empty deck of the yacht without blinking, not returning to his mind for a long time.


    Recalling that before boarding the boat, ye zhiqiao thanked him with an apologetic smile and wished him a happy birthday, yi chen unconsciously showed a sweet smile, but when he noticed the scene in front of him, that smile froze on his face, how could he not be happy.


    Why is the good time always so short? Because he will see ye zhiqiao today, yi chen has been very excited and nervous since a few days ago. He has prepared one set of clothes after another. Even the yachts for ye zhiqiao are specially prepared and specially asked his close friends to help him modify them several times to make them comfortable and beautiful. However, this whole day, apart from meeting ye zhiqiao, he has a chance to chat for a while. The two of them spent so little time together.


    He didn''t want much, as long as he could look at ye zhiqiao from afar, but now he didn''t even have the chance.


    What''s the point of his birthday party?


    "The two of them are resting in the cabin. Why are you still standing here watching?" Yi shaozhi didn''t know when he was coming, but he stood behind yi chen and suddenly opened his mouth.


    Yi chen did not look back, nor was he in the mood to pay attention to him, waiting for him to leave as soon as he knew he was bored.


    However, yi shaozhi did not leave, but instead, he became even more sarcastic and said, "What? Are you sad? If you had listened to me, it would have been you with ye zhiqiao now. She would have spent your birthday with you instead of leaving with another man without even looking at you."


    "It''s none of your business."


    "Heh... I can''t control you either, but I''m sure I''ll be worried for you because of your little brother." Yi shaozhi said affectionately.


    Yi chen sneered and turned around to ask him, "What are you worried about me for? Against you?"


    Yi shaozhi raised his eyelids and looked at him fixedly, not caring about his provocation. Instead, he said, "You are too young to see clearly many tricks and traps. Why don''t you go back to me and let me help you?"


    After spending more than 20 years together, yi chen knew his brother too well.


    What yi shaozhi just said, three points true and seven points false, is more ironic. Yi shaozhi wanted to mock him for helping outsiders, but he ended up with nothing!


    But what does yi shaozhi know? He only knows how to benefit. He is no different from a cold-blooded animal. He will not become a person like him.


    Yi chen glanced at him coldly, then withdrew his gaze, rubbed his shoulder and walked back.


    Yi shaozhi snorted and laughed, his face full of satisfaction. As long as it was what yi shaozhi wanted to do, there was nothing to stop him from killing people and buddhas from killing buddhas. In the end, everyone had to be defeated by yi shaozhi.


    Now, it''s just the beginning.


    He looked at the sea with his hands down, only to see a white dot swaying away on the deep blue sea.


    On the yacht, gu mohan took care of ye zhiqiao, took the medicine, and sat down with her on the bed to rest.


    I don''t know if it was because of seasickness, but ye zhiqiao''s face turned a lot redder than before she boarded the boat, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Her eyes were always misty.


    "Are you feeling unwell again?" Gu mohan leaned closer and placed a pillow behind her." Why don''t you lie down and sleep?" It might be better to fall asleep."


    Ye zhi propped her head up with her hands and pressed her temples hard, "I can''t sleep, but it won''t be long. Don''t worry. I can hold it."


    Gu mohan was heartbroken to see her weak look. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but he was afraid that moving her would make her feel even more uncomfortable. He had to chat with her and divert her attention, thinking that it might make her feel better.


    "Zhiqiao, I''m sorry. I acted irrationally on the island just now. I didn''t take your feelings into account and made you sick." He could not find any other topic for a moment, so he decided to take this opportunity to admit his mistake.


    After all this trouble, ye zhiqiao had already realized that she was willful. She was embarrassed and said, "I didn''t do well either. I should have trusted you, but I was always suspicious of you and kept being petty. If it weren''t for this, yi shao wouldn''t have had a chance."


    "Don''t say that." Gu mohan took ye zhiqiao''s hand, put it on his lips and kissed her, "No matter what, I''m the one who made you unhappy. This will never happen again. I swear."


    Seeing that he was about to raise his right hand, ye zhiqiao quickly pulled his hand back and said with a bitter smile, "Okay, I understand your intentions and believe you."


    After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. All their resentment and dissatisfaction seemed to be left on an island far away.


    The knot in their hearts opened and they were reconciled, but this did not mean that seasickness would easily let ye zhiqiao go.


    It was only more than two hours from the island to the port, but the yacht had not left for half an hour, and ye zhiqiao could no longer hold on. Although gu mohan kept talking to her and applying a cold towel to her face, her temperature was still rising.


    The doctor who brought her here made a preliminary diagnosis for ye zhiqiao, thinking that she had a high fever due to seasickness, and her temperature was still rising, so she had to go to the hospital immediately, otherwise it would be troublesome to cause pneumonia or other diseases.


    The doctor said it seriously, and gu mohan was even more flustered when he heard it. He quickly asked, "She has taken the seasickness medicine, but it doesn''t have much effect. Otherwise, I''ll take her to the deck and the wind will be much better."


    The doctor rejected his idea without even thinking, "Absolutely not. The sea breeze is too cold, and it may aggravate her fever. Besides, she is dizzy and not suitable to move."


    "Is there no other way?!"


    Gu mo han paced back and forth in the cabin, looking at ye zhiqiao from time to time. When he saw that her face was so sallow and her eyes were almost unable to open, he couldn''t help but feel sorry for her.


    The doctor quickly thought of a way, and finally suggested, "If we don''t slow down the yacht, maybe she''ll be better, but slowing down means we''ll have to take more time to get there."


    There was no way to make the best of both worlds, either let ye zhiqiao hold the boat and keep the boat at the same speed, but in that case ye zhiqiao might vomit or faint. Either slow down and change ye zhiqiao''s comfort temporarily.


    Gu mohan squatted down beside the bed to ask for ye zhiqiao''s opinion, but when he saw that ye zhiqiao''s lips were pale and her breathing was weak, he couldn''t care less. He called the crew on the ship''s phone and told them to slow down immediately.

 Chapter 288 Storm at Sea

    An hour after the yacht slowed down, the sky darkened completely. The night sky at sea was beautiful, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it.


    After resting, ye zhiqiao felt better, but no matter whether it was a high fever or her face, she still did not get better. The most important thing was that it would be much more difficult for the yacht to travel in the night than in the day. It would take a long time to reach the port, but ye zhiqiao could not eat anything and even drink water. If this continued, gu mohan was afraid that her body would not be able to hold on.!!!


    When the two of them were speechless, the boat shook violently, and ye zhiqiao, who was lying on the side of the bed, almost fell to the ground!


    Gu mohan also fell back uncontrollably. Fortunately, he had a quick reaction and supported the table to stabilize himself. When he saw ye zhiqiao rolling down, he immediately reached out to catch her.


    "Are you okay?!"


    He held ye zhiqiao in his arms, and as soon as he asked this question, he felt his body twitch violently in his arms.


    "Wow!" Ye zhiqiao threw up on the ground before she could warn him.


    Fortunately, ye zhi had already vomited out everything in her stomach after a few times of vomiting. At this time, she vomited out some light yellow liquid. Gu mohan took some water and a mop, and it was easy to clean it up.


    "I''m sorry..." Ye zhiqiao looked at the way gu mohan bent over to wipe the floor and felt very guilty. She didn''t know what to do except to apologize.


    What gu mohan noticed was not the matter of wiping the floor, but the boat''s body had been moving several times since the first wave. As usual, even if the tide rose at night or the sea was windy, the yacht would not be so unstable.


    Just as he was wondering if this situation would affect ye zhiqiao, a crew member suddenly knocked on the door and ran in.


    "President gu!" The crew looked flustered. When they saw gu mohan, they said in a loud voice, "Oh no, Mr. Gu, there was a storm at sea today. Our ship was caught in a storm!"


    "What?!"


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao exclaimed together, and then gu mohan asked, "How did this happen? Where did our ship go? If it was close to the coast, it wouldn''t be possible, would it?"


    Gu mohan did not know much about the sea, and the crew did not have time to explain it to him in detail, "There is still a distance from the coast. It is possible. Now the ship can''t move for the time being, and occasionally it shakes. The captain said there was a patient here, so let me remind you."


    Gu mohan turned to look at ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao''s face was now completely pale, and it was obvious how serious the illness was.


    Ye zhiqiao tried her best to breathe calmly and asked the crew, "Is there a rescue system on board? Can''t we use that?"


    "No, there''s no signal."


    Gu mohan clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Then use the abandoned boat! There must be one, right?"


    "Yes, yes..." The crew explained with a frown, "But we are now trapped by the storm. The yacht is big enough to support, and the life raft can''t support it at all. If we put it in the sea, it will overturn."


    "Even if you try to rush out alone?"


    The crew shook their heads firmly.


    Ye zhiqiao understood that gu mohan was in a hurry, so she rushed to the doctor. Afraid that he would delay the work of the crew, she said to the crew, "Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and do your work. We already understand the situation. Thank you."


    "Okay." The crew nodded and looked at gu mohan to comfort him, "Don''t worry too much. The captain said we still have a good chance to leave. Maybe we can wait."


    "...


    Gu mohan''s face was grim and he did not answer, so the crew had to shut up and leave the cabin.


    "Why are you making things difficult for him? It''s not his fault." After the crew left, ye zhiqiao asked resentfully.


    Gu mohan rubbed his face impatiently and said in an anxious tone, "I''m not trying to make things difficult for him. It''s just that you''re in such a bad situation that a boat is still coming to block you!"


    "I understand what you mean..." Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath. Due to her weakness, her voice was much lower than usual."


    Gu mohan looked incredulous, "How is that possible? Who knows why there was a storm in this weather? There was no sign of it before, which means we didn''t know when the storm ended!"


    "Well, maybe..."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to say something, but the hull of the boat suddenly shook again. All she felt was a tumult in her stomach, and a sense of disgust followed. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and ran out of bed barefoot.


    Gu mohan refused and brought the trash can for her to vomit inside, because if she ran to the bathroom, it would only consume her less physical strength again.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to do this, but she couldn''t resist the natural reaction of her body. In the face of the trash can, she threw up in a heartbreaking manner, and tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.


    After this time, she was completely powerless, unable to utter a complete word, just sitting in a place without moving the scene in front of her kept spinning, and closed her eyes even more spinning, and not long after that, she actually fainted.


    Gu mohan saw that she was even more anxious but worried, so he quickly ran to the next room and called for a doctor to treat her.


    The doctor didn''t have any medicine in his hands, and the medicine box was filled with some commonly used medicine, which had no effect on ye zhiqiao at all. Moreover, with her current reaction, the seasickness medicine could not be taken any more. Even if she forced herself to take it, she would vomit it out in less than a minute.


    Finally, she had to continue applying a cold towel on her forehead and put two nauseous stickers on the back of her ears. After working for more than ten minutes, she finally woke up, but her condition was still terrible.


    It was no use looking back at Mohan''s anxiousness. He didn''t dare to walk around. He was afraid that ye zhiqiao would be more dizzy if she saw him. Fortunately, the yacht suddenly started to move. It seemed that the storm had slowed down and could continue to sail to the port.


    "Zhiqiao, we''re almost there. Just bear with it." Gu mohan did not know whether he was comforting ye zhiqiao or himself.


    Ye zhiqiao could not respond to him, only blinked weakly, waiting for the next time when she vomited.


    He had thought that he would be able to return to the port in half an hour at most, but he did not expect that when the ship was heading against the wind for a period of time and was about to land, the storm suddenly intensified, rolling the yacht uncontrollably, and the shore a few hundred meters away could not get up at all.


    At this time, the crew suddenly ran over again. This time, they didn''t even knock on the door and rushed directly into the cabin.


    He was panting heavily, his face was full of water, and his clothes were wet.

 Chapter 289 Life Raft

    "The boat is leaking! Master gu, our boat is leaking!"


    "What did you say?!"


    Gu mohan pushed him away, ran out of the door, rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck. Sure enough, he saw another crew member on the ship holding a canvas and some tools trying to block a crack in the water gushing into the ship.


    "What happened? How can a yacht like this leak?" Gu mohan turned his head and asked when he saw the crew coming up behind him.


    Although gu mohan didn''t know much about boats, he could tell from a glance at the place where they were parked that the boats they were on were the best of all, and this was prepared for ye zhiqiao by yi chen, so he must have paid great attention to it.


    Just as the crew was about to answer, they caught a glimpse of another crack on the deck and quickly grabbed a piece of canvas. As they folded the canvas and stuffed it into the crack, they explained, "Young master yi ordered the boat to be modified. Perhaps the modified people only considered beauty and comfort, not safety... But even so, if it wasn''t for today''s storm, nothing would have happened. Question."


    Gu mohan stood up and looked at him from afar, but he could only see a chaotic dark gray. The turbulent air currents swept past him, creating a cold feeling like a winter wind passing by.


    "Is there a way to fix it?" He calmed down with a cool breeze and asked.


    "There are no tools on board to repair the cracks. We can only buy time by stuffing them with cloth and pouring water out." The crew shook their heads in disappointment and continued, "We can only pray for the storm to abate and the ship to get ashore quickly. Otherwise, we will have to abandon the ship."


    "After abandoning the ship?" Gu mohan asked with a frown.


    "We have a life raft that can hold two people. The rest of us... Have to swim back on our own."


    Swim back? Just now, they reported that they could reach the port within a few hundred meters. Besides ye zhiqiao, they were all men and could swim, which was not difficult, but the current wind was too strong, which was a problem.


    Both of them looked serious and were considering the possibility of swimming out of the hundreds of meters. At this moment, the doctor in the cabin suddenly ran out and shouted, "Master gu, miss ye has fainted again!"


    Gu mohan''s heart tightened. He turned around and ran back, asking, "Are you vomiting again?" At this moment, the yacht was in a mess, and it was certain that ye zhiqiao could not hold it.


    The doctor quickly followed and said anxiously, "Yes, but her temperature is almost 40 degrees now. Plus, the fever has lasted so long, I think we must send her to the hospital immediately. If we delay any longer, I can''t guarantee what will happen!"


    "Zhiqiao..."


    Gu mohan pounced on the side of the bed and reached out to touch ye zhiqiao''s forehead. He could feel the burning of her skin without even touching it with a thermometer. Moreover, she seemed to be confused and her pale little face was wrinkled together. No matter how gu mohan called her, she did not respond.


    "Don''t you have any fever medicine? Regardless of whether she vomited or not, can''t you eat it first?" Gu mohan knelt on the edge of the bed and asked anxiously.


    The doctor spread his hands in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "She... She can''t even drink water now. How can she take the medicine?"


    "Then what should we do?! No, no, no. You can''t even save a fever. What am I looking for you for?!" Gu mohan kicked the chair away and pointed at the doctor.


    He had endured for a long time, nervous, anxious, worried, panic... This extremely uneasy mood tightly wrapped around him. Previously, because ye zhiqiao was awake, he did not dare to show that he was afraid of ye zhiqiao''s worry, but at this moment, ye zhiqiao''s situation was so dangerous, he could not calm down no matter what!


    Faced with his accusations, the doctors had no choice, and even the doctors could not guarantee that every patient would be cured, not to mention in such a situation where there was no medicine, no equipment, and even no guarantee of life safety.


    The crew members who followed in understood the current situation. Seeing that gu Mohan and the doctor were both anxious and helpless, they offered, "President gu, otherwise... You and miss ye will follow what we discussed earlier and leave on the life raft. We can''t pinpoint the location, but we can still get a rough idea of the direction. The boat is leaking more and more seriously, and I don''t think we can move until the storm is over. Instead of letting fate take its course here, we should try to get out!"


    "But..." Gu mohan couldn''t bear to look at ye zhiqiao, who was talking nonsense, and then asked, "The wind is so strong. What if something happened to the life raft? She can''t swim when she''s awake, and she''s afraid of water..."


    "Put the life jacket on miss ye. There are several life jackets on the boat. We have to put them on." The crew looked at gu mohan first, then turned to the doctor.


    Yes, and a life jacket!


    If it was normal times, gu mohan would have thought of this, but now that he was in a hurry, he had forgotten such an important thing.


    "Okay, that''s it!" Since there is a way, whether it succeeds or not, it is better than waiting for death.


    Thus, with the help of two crew members and doctors, gu mohan carried ye zhiqiao onto the life raft.


    Sitting on a life raft, gu mohan waved at the three people on the high yacht. Although he was not sure that his trip would go well, he still raised his voice and said, "I''ll send her to the hospital and send someone to rescue you right away!"


    After that, he activated the forward gear on the life raft, and the orange-red life raft slowly began to move across the gust of wind. Ye zhiqiao, lying on her side in a curled position, occupied most of the area of the life raft. Even so, from her expression and occasional moans, she could still feel the pain at this time.


    But no matter how much gu mohan''s heart ached, he could not hug her and comfort her at this moment.


    Because of the storm, it was difficult to control the direction of the lifeboat. Although gu mohan tried his best to control it, the lifeboat was inevitably blown sideways by the wind. The distance from their position to the port was not more than a kilometer, but if the ship was tilted forward, the final distance could be doubled or more! Gu mohan absolutely did not dare to take this risk, so he had to keep an eye on the direction of the ship.


    In the endless dark and treacherous sea, a life raft was simply too small to exist, as if the sand in the desert would easily disappear, and their life raft, soon lost contact with the yacht, and walked alone in the whistling wind.


    The boat was small, and the speed of the journey was naturally not comparable to that of the yacht. Gu mohan felt that he had been walking for a long time, but the surrounding sea was still completely devoid of novelty, as if there was only boundless darkness left except for the sea.

 Chapter 290 Life Raft Overturned

    This time, however, the heavens were especially ruthless, refusing to leave even this calm hopelessness to gu mohan. Not long after, a new round of storms swept over.


    The bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky onto the raft, making a high-pitched and irregular sound. The waves surged up and down, and the life raft floated and sank with the rolling waves. Occasionally, the waves hit the life raft, causing water to splash even higher than gu mohan, who was sitting on the raft. His wet clothes were completely filled with seawater.


    Worst of all, gu mohan had no choice but to let the life raft be pushed back and forth by the sea. Sometimes, his center of gravity was unstable and almost overturned.


    Gu mohan had no idea what to do about it, but at this moment, ye zhiqiao woke up, not knowing whether it was shaking too violently or being stimulated by the piercing sea water and rain.


    Her whole body was uncomfortable, and her chest was wrapped in something that made her unable to breathe. She looked down and saw that it was an orange life jacket. Gu mohan, who was sitting opposite her, was wearing the same life jacket as her.


    There were no yachts, no crew, no doctors, and there was a sea all around, and below him was a life raft.


    "Where are the others?" Ye zhiqiao asked weakly, only to find that her voice was very low, almost qi.


    However, in the deafening sound of the waves, gu mohan immediately sensed her movements. Seeing that she had woken up, gu mohan was overjoyed. He wiped the water stains off his face and asked, "Are you awake? Is it cold? There''s also a blanket here."


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and realized that he didn''t hear her question. She held her breath and asked again, "Where are they?"


    This time, gu mohan finally understood the mouth shape, and then gave her a rough description of what happened after she fainted and the current situation of the two of them.


    Listening to Mohan''s speech time, ye zhiqiao rested almost as much, her spirit was better, and she could support herself to sit up.


    At this moment, another big wave came over, and the life raft swung. Ye zhiqiao was almost thrown off the raft! Fortunately, gu mohan''s eyes and hands were quick, and even if he held her back, the waves that followed came back one after another.


    Even if ye zhiqiao had just woken up, she could understand one thing - the life raft was about to overturn!


    "The life raft is going to collapse!" Ye zhiqiao shouted to gu mohan with all her strength. Because if they didn''t raise their voices at this time, they wouldn''t be able to hear each other''s voices in the loud waves.


    Gu mohan nodded hard and replied loudly, "I know! It''s okay. I''ll try my best. Don''t worry!"


    How could ye zhiqiao not be worried? She could tell at a glance how difficult it was for gu mohan to control his direction that the two of them were weighing on the life raft and had to contend with the harsh natural environment. Even an iron man could not do anything about it.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately thought of a way: "Mohan, this is not going to last! I''ll go down first. You can go ashore in your life raft and find someone to save me!"


    Of course, gu mohan would not agree with her, so he immediately shook his head and refused.


    But now is not the time to be stubborn. Ye zhiqiao advised again, "Listen to me. I will be fine in my life jacket. It will be much easier for you to walk on your own if you can''t move easily."


    "Absolutely not!" Gu mohan gripped the control stick with both hands, turned his head and said in an exceptionally determined tone, "I won''t leave you alone, absolutely not."


    At the critical moment of life and death, ye zhiqiao did not know whether she should be happy or continue to stick to her original idea when she heard gu mohan say so.


    In fact, she didn''t have to worry about it anymore, because after a huge wave hit, the life raft completely... Flipped over.


    The moment her body was weightless, and when her body entered the icy sea, her mouth and nose were filled with salty water, ye zhiqiao was extremely frightened. She felt like a little ant, and her fingers could be crushed easily. Fortunately, the next second, gu mohan''s warm body came close to her and held her in his arms so that she could stabilize herself.


    Perhaps because of his good physical fitness, gu mohan''s clothes were soaked in the sea like ye zhiqiao''s, but his body seemed to be able to continuously emit heat. Ye zhiqiao pressed against his chest, and both his physical perception and emotions were gradually calmed down.


    However, this feeling did not last long. When gu Mohan found out that the life raft was blown away by the strong wind and brought her forward, the dizziness and suffocation came again. Ye zhiqiao only felt that her whole body was out of control. Whether it was gu mo han''s waist or the head that was forced to lift, it was unbearable pain, and every step forward was painful.


    This was obviously a bigger drag on gu mohan, who was carrying her along.


    "Put down... Put me down..." Accompanied by a weak breath, ye zhi said this in a soft voice.


    At such a close distance, gu mohan could definitely hear it, but he did not answer and continued swimming forward.


    "Let me go!" Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but raise her voice and break free of gu Mohan''s arms with both hands and feet, "This is not the way to go on. I don''t have the strength. If you take me with you, you will only exhaust your strength."


    Gu mohan stopped and was propped up on the sea by his life jacket. At this time, he had already lost his fear and anger. Even in the face of ye zhiqiao''s resistance, he only showed a worried expression. Because he only had one thought in his heart - to save ye zhiqiao.


    "Believe me, I still have the strength to swim to the shore." He promised.


    "I don''t believe it!" Ye zhiqiao looked grave and questioned him, "Can you still tell the direction? Do you know which side is the coast?"


    "I know!"


    "If you know, you can leave by yourself! I... Leave me alone..."


    Ye zhiqiao looked sad and apologetic, and said in a trembling voice, "If I didn''t have to come back, we wouldn''t have done this at all. It''s all because of me. I can''t drag you down anymore. I really can''t."


    Seeing her disheveled appearance, gu mohan''s heart suddenly softened and reached out to hug her: Zhiqiao... "


    Ye zhiqiao, however, patted the water and slid back a few steps. Her eyes were red and she threatened, "I said I don''t want you to take me with me! I can swim back by myself. We can swim separately. If you come over again, I''ll stay here."


    "But you can''t swim at all." Gu mohan was heartbroken and helpless, so he had to frown and persuade, "I''ll hold you with one hand, just one hand, okay?"


    No, absolutely not. As long as she was taken care of, gu mohan would be distracted and physically exhausted. She could not agree.

 Chapter 291 Whos Going to Rescue Her?

    "Keep your distance from me, or else... Cough... Or I really... I won''t leave..." Ye zhiqiao continued to threaten him, but she was about to lose her strength. She could feel her body slowly weakening. If it wasn''t for the life jacket, she might have sunk to the bottom of the sea and had no chance to struggle.


    "Zhiqiao, you..."


    Seeing the distance between ye zhiqiao and himself getting bigger and bigger, gu mohan didn''t dare to persuade her, and he didn''t dare to take her away. After a long time of pondering with a heavy face, he helplessly agreed, "Okay, you can swim by yourself, but you can''t go too far from me. You have to let me... Zhiqiao? Zhiqiao?!"


    In the middle of what he said, he suddenly felt something was wrong with ye zhi across from him. His eyes were closed tightly, and his arms, which had just been lifted to the surface of the water, were naturally hanging in the water, as if they were out of control.


    However, ye zhiqiao didn''t respond to his shout at all, which confirmed his conjecture. Ye zhiqiao really lost consciousness again and fainted!


    He anxiously paddled to ye zhiqiao''s side and slapped her cheek several times without caring about the others. However, the latter still did not react. Gu mohan was deeply shocked by the pale and still floating in the sea.


    Such an environment, coupled with ye zhiqiao''s already worrying physical condition, if he could not be rescued before dawn and spent the night in the sea, then what terrible consequences would it cause, he did not dare to think.


    The most urgent thing is to let ye zhiqiao leave the water!


    Thinking of this, gu mohan began to look around for the life raft that had just been blown away.


    The storm had calmed down for a while, and perhaps the life raft was not far from them. Gu mohan used his memory to push the water forward, an arm tightly wrapped around ye zhiqiao''s waist, to ensure that she would not choke on the water, and would not be washed away by the waves.


    Five minutes later, gu mohan finally met his only luck on this day of disaster.


    Fortunately, the life raft was so orange that gu mohan could see it not far away in the dark.


    It was as if endless energy had suddenly been injected into his body, and gu mohan ran towards the life raft in a frenzy. Only when he carried ye zhiqiao''s soft body and sent her to the raft did his empty heart finally realize the rare stability.


    At the same time, Qin Baiye, who was far away in the city villa, received a call from the dusty island.


    After ye zhiqiao left, yi chen went back to the banquet hall to hide his loneliness by drinking with his friends, so he was drunk until he just woke up and saw the news, only to know that there was a sudden storm on the sea, and his bodyguards at the city port, also replied that he did not receive the yacht back.


    Then there was only one possibility left. Ye zhiqiao and the others on the yacht were trapped at sea by the storm.


    Yi chen immediately panicked and called for his men to sail to rescue him, but all the people present stopped him without exception, and yi shaozhi''s attitude was even stronger. He directly locked him in the room and ordered no one to let him out.


    He had no choice but to find someone to help with the rescue.


    After hearing his voice from the receiver in the early qin day and night, he was surprised for a moment. Then he thought that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were going to his birthday party, so he responded and asked, "What''s the matter with gu mohan?"


    "Yes, Zhiqiao wasn''t feeling well in the evening so they went back on the yacht, but then there was a storm at sea. They haven''t heard from me yet. I can''t go back to the island now. Can you think of a way to save them?" Yi chen told the truth and waited for Qin Baiye''s answer.


    After hearing this, Qin Baiye was also very panicked and asked, "Didn''t their yacht send out a distress signal?"


    "No, because of the storm, there''s no signal at all at sea, so I can''t even dial it."


    "How long have they been out of touch?" Qin Baiye continued to ask.


    Yi chen roughly calculated, "About three or four hours. It left at six in the evening. Normally, it would be two hours."


    Qin Baiye understood the situation and promised, "Okay, I''ll think of a way to deal with them. Thank you, young master yi."


    "No, it''s because of my birthday that something bad happened to them... Oh yes!" Yi chen finally reminded him, "Zhiqiao was sick when she left, and she had a severe seasickness. After being at sea for so long, I don''t know if it would worsen her condition."


    "Okay, I understand." Qin Baiye thanked him again and hung up.


    He stood up and looked at xiao bao and jian mengqi, who were playing puzzles in the bedroom. He decided not to tell them about it first so that they wouldn''t worry.


    But how should we rescue gu mohan and ye zhiqiao?


    He promised gu mohan to ensure the safety of little treasure. Although he arranged bodyguards, he could not leave easily. If something really happened, he still needed to make a decision.


    In that case, he could only ask for help. To be able to genuinely help gu mohan, and have the ability to rescue him at sea, this candidate... There really is one.


    He sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, feeling more and more feasible, then took out his cell phone and dialed the man''s number.


    The call was quickly connected. Before he could speak, the other party had already greeted him, "President qin? Hello!"


    Qin Baiye cleared his throat and promised, "It''s me. Calling president shen at this time will affect your rest, right?"


    "It doesn''t matter, it doesn''t matter..." Shen Qingyuan said in his usual polite tone, "It just so happens that the tv is boring. I want to talk to someone."


    Qin Baiye smiled and went straight to the point, "Then what I''m going to say may disturb president shen''s good mood. Actually, I contacted you to ask you for a favor."


    Help? Shen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the word, thinking that Qin Baiye was gu mohan''s man. Qin Baiye asked him for help, which was also a token of his respect. He agreed, and gu mohan owed him another favor.


    Thinking of this, shen Qingyuan said in a good mood, "President qin said, as long as someone shen can help, he will do his best."


    "Thank you, president shen first..." Qin Baiye thanked him, then told him about gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, and said that he couldn''t get away, hoping that shen Qingyuan could send someone to rescue him.


    "You said president gu was stranded at sea?!" After hearing this, shen Qingyuan couldn''t stop exclaiming.


    Meanwhile, shen monong, who was playing with his cell phone beside him, looked in his direction in shock at the same time.

 Chapter 292 Shen Family Father and Daughter Rescue

    "Dad, what''s going on? Who''s trapped at sea? Gu mohan?" Seeing that shen Qingyuan had promised to put down the phone a few times, shen monong hurried over to ask.


    "Yeah." Shen Qingyuan nodded solemnly, "Qin Baiye said that gu Mohan and ye zhiqiao were stranded on a yacht at sea and had been out of contact for three hours."


    Shen mo nong''s eyes widened when she heard this and she flipped up the web page on her phone a few lines. Sure enough, she saw the news a few hours ago saying that there was a storm at sea!


    Originally, it was just a piece of news, but I didn''t expect that the person I met was really in it, and that person was gu mohan whom she was thinking of.


    Shen mo nong asked helplessly, "Dad, why did Qin Baiye call you? Are you going to save Mohan?"


    "Yeah -"


    Shen Qingyuan stood up with his legs propped up and pondered for a moment, "It''s not good to sail in the weather now. I have to get someone to find a helicopter."


    "Me too!" No matter what method he used to save people, shen mo long had to follow gu mo han as long as he was there.


    Shen Qingyuan understood what she was thinking and knew that if gu mohan saw shen monong save him in person despite the danger, he might have a better impression of shen monong. But going to sea at this time was risky. Although he had a helicopter to escort him, shen monong was his favorite daughter. He didn''t want shen monong to take risks in his heart.


    Just as he was thinking about the battle between heaven and man, shen monong had already gone upstairs to change his clothes, and then rushed down without even putting on makeup. It seemed that he had to go.


    In that case, shen Qingyuan no longer hesitated, immediately contacted his subordinates to rent a large helicopter, and then drove to the tarmac with shen monong.


    The sound of the helicopter taking off was so loud that even with headphones, it could still feel a strong tremor. Fortunately, the helicopter was specially designed to rescue the people in distress, and it was very large. Besides the pilot, shen Qingyuan, father and daughter, and two professional bodyguards, it could ride more than ten people.


    The helicopter soon arrived at the area where gu mohan''s yacht sent out the last signal. The strong searchlight turned on and the sea opposite the helicopter was reflected. The helicopter kept a steady and slow flight from the sea. Shen Qingyuan and shen monong on board stared at the bright sea for fear of missing a bit of information.


    Finally, after searching for ten minutes, a yacht that had sunk more than half of the horizon suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea. Four people stood at the top of the cabin shouting and waving for help.


    It was too far away and it was dark. Even with the strong searchlight, the people on the helicopter couldn''t see if the person who was calling for help was gu mohan, but the time and position were roughly the same. And even if it wasn''t, they couldn''t leave it at that.


    Shen Qingyuan''s bodyguards immediately let the rope down. Three of the four men below were professionally trained crew members and one was a strong doctor. They quickly climbed up with the help of the rope and did not need bodyguards to go down to rescue them.


    But when she saw the four unfamiliar faces, the light in shen monong''s eyes immediately disappeared. She lay down at the window and looked down to make sure that there was no one under her. Then the boss turned around and asked the three drenched men, "Are you with gu mohan?"


    The three men who had escaped from death were stunned, and the crew member who was more familiar with gu mohan replied, "Yes, master gu and miss ye haven''t... Haven''t they gone back yet?"


    "Go back? Where else can he go if he''s not with you?" Shen mo nong was puzzled, "What the hell is going on?!"


    "This... They..." The crew member was a 20-year-old young man who had just experienced a dangerous situation and was already in a panic. At this time, facing a beautiful star, he began to stutter.


    The doctor answered at the right time, "The yacht was caught in a storm and the deck was flooded. Miss ye''s condition could not be delayed, so Mr. Gu and miss ye took a step forward in the life raft, but it looks like they were also trapped by the storm."


    Hearing this, shen mo thick''s head exploded!


    Finding a yacht in the sea based on the location provided is still so troublesome. If you want to find a small lifeboat without any trace, then it is really a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the storm just now was so big, maybe the lifeboat could not support it, it is possible to overturn it, and it is almost impossible to find two people on the vast sea!


    "What should I do, dad?" Shen mo panicked and subconsciously turned to ask his father.


    Shen Qingyuan''s face was not much better than hers at the moment, but after all, he had been through a lot of storms, and could still maintain a basic calm under such circumstances. He waved his hand, full of confidence, and said, "What can I do? Look!"


    With his command, the pilot restarted the helicopter, and the huge roar followed the direction provided by the crew, continuing to search in a new round of storms.


    The search took a lot of time, and by four in the morning, the sky was already lit up and there was no news.


    Shen mo concentrated in his seat, half asleep and half awake, his eyes were full of scenes from a few years ago when he met gu mohan at the airport. "Where the hell are you?" She mumbled and finally fell asleep with her arms around her shoulders.


    When the helicopter flies, it will drive a great airflow, and it is inevitable to feel cold sitting in the cabin. At this time, the person who suffers the most from the cold should be gu mohan who is immersed in the sea water.


    On the vast sea surface, the orange life raft moved forward at an extremely slow speed, and its power came from a hand that stretched out from the sea.


    Gasping for breath, gu mohan pulled his hands into the water and changed them to push the raft with the other hand. This had happened countless times in the past few hours. From the moment he picked up the life raft, the overturning board on it was crooked, unable to advance automatically, and he could only use manual rowing. Before, the life raft did not prepare paddles, so gu mohan had no choice but to jump into the sea and push the boat.


    Although it was summer, the sea temperature at night and in the early morning was still astonishing. Gu mohan could even see the dense fog as he breathed and the motionless hand pushing on the raft. In a few minutes, he would freeze stiff and had to change into the water to warm himself with the heat generated by the paddle.


    After they found the lifeboat, there were three more storms. He had no strength to fight against nature, and they were pushed further and further away by the storm, not knowing how far they were from the coast.

 Chapter 293 Shen Munong Personally Saved People

    Gu mohan pushed ye zhiqiao along in the cold and deadly sea for a while, until the whole sky turned blue and a faint light emerged from the thick clouds. The storm that had ravaged the whole night struck again.


    The sea was raging with wind, and the sea was turning into waves. Gu mohan could not bear to swim and hold onto the life raft tightly, but he could not find anything to lend himself to.


    Ye zhiqiao on the life raft was not awake yet, so gu mohan had to open his arms as wide as possible to hold both sides of the life raft to ensure that it would not be overturned again. But at this moment, he had lost most of his strength, and this extremely strenuous action could not last long.


    His arms gradually became numb and cramped, because he had already drunk several mouthfuls of sea water without raising his head high, and the great storm at sea was crushing the energy in his body, but at the same time it was eating away at his faith almost brutally.


    He thought that if he really couldn''t swim, then he would swim with ye zhiqiao in his arms. When he couldn''t swim anymore, he would hug the bottom of the ocean and sleep forever. He just hoped that Qin Baiye and jian mengqi would be willing to take care of little treasure, his only child with ye zhiqiao.


    "Buzz - buzz -"


    A dull, loud buzzing sound came from above, followed by a strong wind, but that wind was completely different from the one in the storm, which was regular and familiar.


    That''s right, gu mohan was familiar with that thing. It was a helicopter, a hope to save his and ye zhiqiao''s lives!


    "Hey!!!" He shouted with all his might.


    But apparently, the people on the helicopter had already noticed him, including shen monong, who felt hopeless, all jumped up from his seat and looked down from the window.


    Taking advantage of the dawn, shen Qingyuan noticed that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were in a bad situation, so he asked the pilot to minimize the helicopter. Although it was still impossible to talk, he could communicate with gu mohan through gestures.


    Ye zhiqiao was lying on the life raft. Although she did not react as if she had fainted, she would not be in danger for the time being with the protection of the life raft. Gu Mohan''s condition looked even worse. He was half on the life raft and his lower body was still in the water. His expression was painful as if he was injured or frozen and cramped. Shen Qingyuan wanted to save gu mohan first.


    But when shen Qingyuan pointed at the rope in his hand and then pointed at gu mohan, gu mohan started shaking his head wildly as if he had been triggered by a switch. Looking at the way his mouth was wide open, he should be very excited, and his movements were the same. When he was pointing at ye zhiqiao, his wet hair on his head was thrown up.


    Shen Qingyuan wanted to save him first, but he insisted on saving ye zhiqiao first, defeating his instinct at the crucial moment of life and death or putting his girlfriend first.


    She felt that she really had a unique vision. A quick glance at the airport and she found such a good man. No wonder she had been dreaming for years. As long as she could be with such a gu mohan, even if it didn''t matter for a long time.


    For a moment, shen monong felt a surge of heat in her chest, as if she had to do something to ease the excitement, so she suggested to shen Qingyuan, "Dad, I''ll go. I''ll go down and save Mohan!"


    "Stop fooling around!" Shen Qingyuan glared and immediately refused, "How can you save a girl? Don''t look at the distance, but it''s not fun to climb up and down the rope."


    Shen mocheng pulled shen Qingyuan''s arm and begged, "I''m not fooling around. I work out a lot, and I do a lot of climbing. I''m sure it''s okay."


    "That''s two different things, you..."


    "Dad!" Shen monong looked behind him and saw that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the two of them. Then he approached shen Qingyuan and said, "You can''t get a tiger without entering the tiger''s den. You want him to thank you. This is the best way. I''ll do it better than others."


    "...


    Shen Qingyuan fell silent after being told what was important. He looked down again and knew that gu mohan''s situation could not be delayed. He could not hesitate any longer and had to make a decision immediately.


    "... Well, put on your life jacket and be careful."


    With permission, shen monong immediately broke into a smile, shook shen Qingyuan''s arm and said loudly, "Don''t worry, dad."


    The rescue rope was lowered from the helicopter''s cabin door, then shen mocheng pulled the rope, pinned his legs back, and slowly slid down at a controlled speed.


    The landing point happened to be on the life raft, and ye zhiqiao, who was lying down, occupied most of the area. Shen monong did not look at her and reached out to pull gu Mohan.


    Gu mohan frowned, "Why are you here?"


    "It''s me. I came here to save you." Shen mo nong''s eyes were filled with a joyful smile: "Come on up!"


    She put her hand forward again.


    Gu mohan took a deep breath, his legs tightened and his arms tightened as he slammed down from the water onto the life raft. After stabilizing his body, he gasped and said, "Thank you for coming to save zhiqiao. I''ll help tie the rope to her. You can take her up."


    Shen monong''s hand was frozen in mid-air, and he tilted his head and said, "I repeat, I''m here to save you. You''re not in a good condition now. You have to go back to a safe place immediately and receive treatment."


    "Save Zhiqiao first. It won''t take long. I can hold on." Gu mohan insisted.


    "Since you know it won''t take much time, what can you do if you go up first?!" Shen mo became anxious and his tone was not as gentle as before. As he spoke, he picked up the long part of the rope and wrapped it around gu Mohan.


    Shen mo nong was now very close to gu mo han. Gu mo han could even feel the dry heat and perfume coming from her body, but the more this happened, the more he could not accept shen mo nong''s touch.


    First of all, he couldn''t leave ye Zhiqiao alone. Even if he stayed for a few seconds, no one could guarantee what would happen. He couldn''t put ye zhiqiao in any danger. And as they ascended along the rope together, there was almost no distance between their bodies. If there was no man on it, then he had nothing to say to accept shen monong''s rescue. But from what he had just seen, not only shen Qingyuan, but also the people on the yacht and two strange men were on board. In this case, the woman who saved people was shen monong, and the meaning could be understood without thinking.


    He already had ye zhi coincidentally, so for other women, they must keep a distance.


    "Let go!"


    There was an obvious warning in his voice, but shen mo nong continued to act as if he had not heard it.

 Chapter 294 Thats Not Kissing

    "Shen monong, you don''t need to save me, do you hear me?!"


    Gu mohan tried his best to push him away, but he had already used up all his strength by jumping on the life raft. Coupled with swimming in the sea for a night, he was not as strong as shen mo, who had been exercising all year round. In the end, he was still tied up by the rope.


    After checking that the rope was fastened, shen mo nong ignored his strong opposition and made a gesture to the helicopter. Then the rope on her body began to tighten. She reached out and hugged Mohan, and they slowly rose together.


    Gu mohan opened her arm and tried his best to look away at ye zhiqiao lying on the life raft with her eyes closed. As the distance between them grew, his feet had already left the orange life raft, and ye zhiqiao was still alone there.


    No way! Never let ye zhi happen to be alone! This was the only thought in gu mohan''s mind.


    The physical sense of urgency intensified, and a burst of raging anger rushed into gu mohan''s chest. Suddenly, his strength surged and he pushed shen monong away with both hands and feet.


    However, shen monong refused to give in and continued to press his arms close to her.


    So the two of them began a tug-of-war in midair, one pushing, one pasting. The person pulling the rope on the helicopter was pulled by the suddenly increased force on the other end of the rope, and his center of gravity was unstable. When the situation was urgent, the rest of the crew rushed up to help, and barely managed to control the swinging rope.


    However, although the helicopter was stabilized, the rope in mid-air had a problem.


    Maybe it was a long time use, maybe it was the quality of the rope itself. During gu mohan and shen monong''s sawing, the rope under the helicopter actually slowly collapsed, and the hemp rope twisted into strands broke bit by bit until the end -


    Jump!!"


    A heavy and soft sound came from the break. Several people who were pulling the rope on the helicopter fell back because of inertia. Shen Qingyuan was so shocked that he quickly flew to the cabin and looked down!


    Fortunately, gu mohan and shen monong were not pulled up too high because of the dispute. The two of them fell about three or four meters from the height. They both wore life jackets and fell straight back onto the life raft, so they were not hurt.


    Shen mo thick''s entire body was covered by gu mo han, and the two of them looked at each other closely, their lips and teeth touching each other.


    Shen monong probably didn''t mean it. When she fell in weightlessness, she instinctively felt fear and just screamed. She definitely didn''t have time to plan this kind of thing. But when the wind around her ears disappeared and everything returned to calm, she could no longer ignore the gentle touch on her lips. That was the scene she had always dreamed of. She did not expect it to happen so quickly in such a situation.


    It was only for a moment. Before gu mohan could react, shen monong had suddenly increased his strength and even reached out his tongue to gently sweep gu mohan''s lips.!!!


    Gu mohan widened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with incredible fury. He reflexively pushed the woman away and then roughly wiped his lips with his sleeve.


    After soaking in the sea for a night, his lips were already dry and bleeding from his forceful touch.


    "You''re bleeding!" Shen monong exclaimed.


    "It''s none of your business! Stay away from me!" Gu mohan pointed at her and warned her sharply.


    Shen monong did not back down and explained with his hand, "I just wanted to save you. I fell down with you just now. Do you know how scared I was? As for kissing... I didn''t mean to..."


    "That''s not kissing." Gu mohan took a few deep breaths and said in a cold voice, "It''s only kissing with feelings, so don''t insult me, and don''t insult yourself."


    Shen monong never expected him to be so heartless. He stared at him with his mouth half open for a long time. Seeing that he did not mean to take it back, he finally said in a trembling voice, "Gu mohan, do you have a conscience? My dad and I spent the whole night looking for you. I was scared for you, and you did this to me? Are you reluctant to part with ye zhiqiao? What about me? Have you ever thought about what would happen if we were a little higher up and didn''t fall on the life raft?!"


    Hearing her words, gu mohan turned to look at ye zhiqiao. Seeing that ye zhiqiao''s face was completely pale, he couldn''t help but worry.


    Shen molong was right. She had no obligation to do this at all. She had already helped a lot by coming. He should be thankful that he was grateful, because if he really angered miss shen, she would probably be dissatisfied with ye zhiqiao. She had already looked down on ye zhiqiao, and now ye zhiqiao could only be slaughtered.


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and apologized with gritted teeth, "I did go overboard just now. I''m sorry for hurting you. Miss shen, can you take zhiqiao up first?"


    Shen mo nong was very happy to get gu mohan''s apology, but the second half of his words made her not very satisfied. Her only purpose in coming here was to take gu mohan away. As for gu mohan''s current girlfriend, her rival in love, why should she care?


    "You go up with me first. That''s the only way I can save her." Shen mo nong held his arm and glanced at ye zhiqiao contemptuously, as if her life had already been grasped by her.


    Gu mohan''s fists trembled slightly at the side of his body, but he could not say much when faced with the woman''s advance. For ye zhiqiao''s sake, he had to endure it.


    However, he would not agree to the terms shen mo nong offered.


    Both of them looked at each other with a straight face. The situation was tense, as if they were fighting for stamina and momentum.


    Suddenly! Shen mocheng''s pupils widened and screamed, "Gu mohan!!!"


    With a "Plop," gu mohan''s entire body went into the sea, including his life jacket that had been cut.


    Shen monong didn''t have time to think. Maybe she didn''t want to think at all. She jumped into the water with instinct!


    Water splashed everywhere, but gu mohan, who was in the sea, could not see it. He felt that as long as he ran away first, shen mo nong had no way to succumb and save ye zhiqiao first, but he forgot his already unbearable body.


    It was almost the moment he fell into the water that he realized that his life jacket was broken. Then he stretched his body and tried to swim, but he found that every muscle was too sore to exert any strength. His back seemed to be crushed by a huge rock, and he sank straight down.


    The air in his lungs became thinner and thinner, and he couldn''t help but want to breathe. The moment his mouth and nose relaxed, they were filled with the salty sea water, and a terrifying sense of suffocation followed.

 Chapter 295 Hold Him Tightly

    When shen monong took off his life jacket and dived into the water, gu mohan had already sunk a few meters. His eyes were tightly closed, and a string of rising bubbles appeared in front of him.


    Realizing that he was drowning because of his lack of strength, shen mo nong quickly swam to him like a nimble fish, trying to shake his shoulder to wake him up first. However, the resistance in the water was too great, and her movements did not work at all. She was afraid that if she continued like this, she would lose her strength, so she wrapped her arms around gu mo han''s waist and pulled him up first.


    As soon as he reached the surface of the water, shen Qingyuan handed him his hand.


    Shen monong didn''t have the energy to ask when he got down, so he dragged gu mohan in front of him and asked shen Qingyuan to pull gu Mohan up first before following him up.


    After getting on the life raft, the first thing shen mo nong did was run to gu mohan''s side to check on his condition and help him with the basic treatment. However, he did not expect that the water he had drunk would come out and gu mohan was still not awake.


    Shen monong had no idea. She hugged gu mohan''s head and leaned on her lap. She said to shen Qingyuan in a tearful voice, "Dad, what''s wrong with him? Why didn''t you wake up? Shouldn''t I have forced him like that just now? If it weren''t for me, he wouldn''t have jumped into the sea..."


    Shen Qingyuan looked at gu Mohan, then turned to look at ye zhiqiao, who had been in a coma, and decided, "Let''s get the person on the helicopter first and take him to the hospital. Besides, there is a doctor on top of him. He must have a better idea than you."


    With that, shen Qingyuan gestured in the direction of the helicopter and called for two bodyguards to come down and save people.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were brought back to the helicopter one after another. Accompanied by the "Buzzing" sound, the two of them finally left the sea slowly with the helicopter.


    The doctors gave gu Mohan and ye zhiqiao a simple examination respectively. The reason for ye zhiqiao''s coma was the same as the previous few times, and she had to be sent to the hospital immediately. Gu Mohan''s symptoms were mild, and his coma had nothing to do with drowning, mainly due to cold and physical exhaustion.


    Hearing that gu mohan was not seriously ill, shen monong finally felt relieved. After the doctor left, she sat down next to gu mohan and fed him some water. Then she wanted to feed him some compressed biscuits to replenish his strength, but he couldn''t swallow them at all.


    After that, she quietly looked at gu mohan''s face, lost in thought. In addition to the memories of the airport, her mind was filled with the kiss just now. Yes, regardless of whether gu mohan admitted it or not, it was a real kiss. No matter who was in the hearts of the people around him now, she, shen monong, had a chance to replace it.


    In her opinion, gu mohan was the best man in this era. His outstanding appearance, enviable family background and career, arrogant ability, and love and devotion for his woman... She believed that if she missed gu mohan, she would never have such a nearly perfect man in her future life.


    So she had to hold him tight.


    -


    In the hospital.


    Su yanbai strode forward with her little high heels, without any hesitation, until the nurse told her to stop and breathe steadily at the door of the ward.


    As soon as she woke up this morning, she saw an overwhelming amount of news about the sea storm, which was originally irrelevant to her, but a phone call from a friend suddenly made her sit up abruptly from her bed, because her friend said that gu mohan was sailing on a yacht during the sea storm, and even then, she was still out of contact.


    She was so scared that she contacted father su and su pan in a panic and insisted that they find a way to save them. At that time, su pan suddenly received news that gu Mohan had been rescued by shen Qingyuan and his daughter.


    She did not know who shen Qingyuan''s father and daughter were, but as long as gu mohan was saved, she immediately changed her clothes and went straight to the hospital, where she stood before breakfast.


    "Huh-" imagining that she was about to see gu mohan, su yanbai hurriedly tidied up her messy hair due to the rush on the road, took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in with graceful steps.


    But... What did she see?!!


    Who was the woman beside gu mohan''s bed? Why did the woman open gu mohan''s clothes? Why are you touching gu mohan''s bare chest with a towel? Even a nurse can''t take advantage of her so blatantly, can she?!


    Before she had time to think about it, miss su''s anger flared up. She pointed at shen monong and asked sternly, "Who are you?! Get your dirty hands off me!!!"


    A sudden shriek made shen monong and shen Qingyuan, who had their backs to the door, both alert. Both of them turned around at the same time and looked at su yanbai, who was teething. From the blank expression on their faces, it was obvious that they did not know this person.


    Then, shen molong said, "Who are you? The patients here need to rest. Don''t shout."


    "Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?!" Su yanbai''s aura was so great that she rushed in with her eyes wide open and pointed at the towel in shen monong''s hand, "How dare you take advantage of brother gu when he is ill and see if he will spare you later?"


    "Brother gu?" Shen mo tasted the name and looked up and down with his arms at su yanbai, who looked like a fighting chicken. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know Mohan?"


    Hearing her ambiguous address, su yanbai was even angrier. She pointed at her nose and scolded, "Don''t be shameless. Did you call Mohan? I don''t know where the country bumpkin came from. Seeing my brother gu''s good looks, he came up and stuck him upside down!"


    Su yanbai had been in a bad mood ever since she entered the room. Previously, shen mo nong did not know her identity and deliberately tolerated it, but now that her mouth was dirty, the more she said it, the more unpleasant it became. Little sister, you''re late. If you have the time, you should study at school for a few more years and learn how to behave yourself."


    "You!"


    Su yanbai usually relied on her good family background and a few close friends to support her, so she had no scruples to be tyrannical, but in fact, she had no ability. Now, she was so weak that she was supported by shen monong that she did not know what to say to fight back.


    After staring at each other angrily for a long time, su yanbai probably felt that her aura was getting weaker, so she continued to shout at the top of her voice, "Who do you care about me... Who do you think I am?! Get out of here. Stay away from brother gu. The farther... The better!!"


    "Look at my little sister. I can''t even speak properly."


    Shen molong gave shen Qingyuan a funny look, then looked into su yanbai''s eyes and said word by word, "I am not that old, but I am Mohan''s savior."

 Chapter 296 Miss Sus Good Methods

    Su yanbai''s head short-circuited when she heard shen monong say the words "Savior." Then she remembered the phone call su pan had just received, saying that gu Mohan was rescued by a father and daughter named shen.


    She carefully looked at the man and woman opposite her and thought, are they the ones who saved her brother?


    Seeing that su yanbai did not speak, shen mo nong waved his hand in a dull manner and said, "If you understand, go out quickly. Don''t disturb Mohan''s rest here."


    "I don''t!" Su yanbai was not willing to leave, so she immediately raised her head and said, "So what if you saved brother gu? It''s my freedom to visit brother gu. If he wakes up, he will definitely let me stay and let you go!"


    Shen mo nong scornfully "Cut." With a sound, he curled his lips and said with a smile, "Overestimate your strength."


    "Who do you think is overestimated?! I tell you, it''s best not to offend me. Anyone who offends me will come to no good end!"


    "Threaten me?" Shen monong looked at her sideways and spread her hands out, "Sure, you can try it if you want. But now, you have to get out of here right now!"


    "You dare to make me leave?" Su yanbai pointed at herself and asked incredulously.


    Then shen mo nong gave an extremely provocative smile. Su yan bai was so angry that she rushed up and started to fight!


    But shen Qingyuan stopped him halfway.


    Shen Qingyuan naturally defended shen monong, but he didn''t know where su yanbai came from, but seeing her look familiar, he subconsciously felt that the power behind this little girl should not be small, so he left some leeway to speak.


    "Little girl, don''t be impulsive. Can you listen to me? As you can see, Mohan is still in a coma. The doctor said he must rest, but he''s been making a lot of noise since you came in. It''s not good for his condition."


    Shen Qingyuan''s words did make su yanbai feel a little guilty, but su yanbai, who had been spoiled since childhood, still maintained a tough attitude, "Can my voice blame me? If it weren''t for... If it weren''t for your daughter plotting against brother gu, I wouldn''t have done that either."


    "Hehe..." Shen Qingyuan chuckled and shook his head, "Your brother gu is like this. Why is she scheming? At such a young age, don''t think so dirty."


    "You... You..." Su yanbai could not even handle a single shen monong, not to mention shen Qingyuan, who was present. She only felt that the arrogance she had tried so hard to maintain had been shattered little by little. In other words, she was no match for the father and daughter opposite!


    She glared at shen monong fiercely, but her originally ferocious eyes now looked more like a child who had been unfairly treated. There was really no choice but to persuade herself that a good man would not suffer any losses before his eyes and angrily slammed the door and left the ward.


    However, after leaving and driving on the road, su yanbai couldn''t swallow the more she thought about it. She was actually bullied by a father and daughter with unknown origins. Wasn''t it going to be laughed at?!


    And judging from the behavior of the woman surnamed shen, if she had no interest in gu Mohan, ghosts would not believe her. But that woman liked gu mohan and saved his life this time. What if gu mohan was really moved to be with that woman?


    Although gu mohan had announced at the family banquet that he wanted to break off the engagement with her, it was still a small scale. Yesterday at yi chen''s birthday party, he was still close to her in front of everyone. Everyone thought they were unmarried couples. Even she thought so.


    After thinking about it, su yanbai felt that she had to use some tricks now.


    When the red light went out and the street lights were on, she turned the steering wheel and turned right, giving up the route she had taken to go home.


    Twenty minutes later, the president''s office of the Yi''s group.


    Yi shaozhi was very surprised by su yanbai''s arrival. After all, su yanbai had mercilessly rejected his confession at noon yesterday. She came to him so quickly and did not know what she was planning.


    However, there was no need for yi shao to try to guess, because su yanbai was not a roundabout character, which directly explained the purpose.


    "I want to work with you."


    "Oh?" Yi shaozhi was stunned at first, then led su yanbai to sit down on the guest sofa and said with a sly smile unique to the merchant, "I remember we had a cooperation yesterday. I didn''t expect miss su to make this request again so soon. I''m really flattered."


    Su yanbai glanced at him and then asked, "You sent me back in the morning. Brother gu should still be at sea at that time. Why didn''t you tell me?"


    Su yanbai''s words suddenly changed, and yi shao was not used to it. He smiled dryly and explained, "You had to fight back then. I was afraid that you would be afraid after I told you, so..."


    "So you kept it from me and disconnected my phone from the internet so that I wouldn''t even be able to see the news of a storm at sea?" Su yanbai snorted coldly, "Yi shaozhi, I really underestimate you!"


    She was angry because of what happened in the hospital, thinking that it was because of yi shaozhi that she missed the opportunity to save Mohan, and her heart was even more resentful.


    Yi shaozhi had already been rejected by her, and he had no patience with her. He could endure it when he was young, but when he was old, he felt dissatisfied, "Is miss su here just to make an accusation? If so, I''m sorry. I don''t have that much time."


    "Ah... Wait a minute!"


    Seeing that yi shaozhi was about to get up to see him off, su yanbai finally remembered what she had come for and hurriedly changed her mind, "Mr. Yi, wait a minute. I... I want to say... Brother gu is in the hospital now. I went to see him. He has been unconscious."


    Yi shaozhi turned around, "So?"


    Su yanbai pinched her handbag and said resolutely, "So you can deal with the gu family now!"


    Hearing this, yi shaozhi stared at her in surprise for a long time, then asked faintly, "Miss su, are you serious? Gu''s... But your brother gu''s company."


    Su yanbai rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "Of course I know. You don''t have to remind me. I just want you to take down the company, and you don''t have to worry about what happens after that."


    How could yi shaozhi agree to nothing if he had to destroy her beloved man''s company? At that moment, his brain began to work rapidly, thinking about the reason why su yanbai did this.


    Not long after, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, half sarcastic and half praising, "Miss su is a good trick."

 Chapter 297 Snatch a Child

    Su yanbai was not surprised that yi shaozhi was able to guess what she was thinking. She raised her feet nonchalantly, fiddled with her nails and said in a deliberative tone, "If I give him coal in the snow, he will definitely thank me, right?"


    Let yi shaozhi destroy gu mohan''s company, and then she came forward to save it and help gu mohan regain his strength. By then, what is it to save the woman in the storm? Only she, who could help him in his career, was qualified to be his lawful wife.


    Yi shaozhi licked his lower lip, sat down again, smiled at su yanbai and said, "But miss su, why should I help you? You know what I mean to you, so you want to kidnap me with your feelings?"


    Su yanbai burst into laughter and asked helplessly, "Is yi always the kind of man who is influenced by feelings?"


    Yi shaozhi curled his lips and did not say yes or no.


    "President yi doesn''t have to play dumb with me. I don''t know how much benefit and fame I can get from destroying the gu group, but I still have basic knowledge." Su yanbai picked up the cup on the coffee table and handed it to him. She tilted her head and asked, "Can''t these satisfy your appetite?"


    In fact, yi shaozhi did not intend to refuse at all. He was just teasing su yan to play with her. Since su yanbai had given face to his family, he could not hold back any longer, so he took the cup, took a sip, and nodded, "Good tea, good strategy, then I will be more respectful than obedient."


    The news of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao being injured and unconscious by a sea storm spread like wildfire when the two of them decided on a partnership and were happy with each other''s thoughts. The hot news on the major websites was circulating about this, and gu chengyan in the branch studios naturally wouldn''t miss the opportunity.


    Ever since the last time he told Li Qian to do something wrong and many of the people in her hands went to jail, gu chengyan had been hiding his strength and working in a proper manner, not daring to find any more trouble. Although those things did not affect her, jian mengqi still admitted that she was working in the studio, but she was not sure that ye zhiqiao and the others did not suspect her at all, so when she was not sure, she absolutely did not dare to act rashly.


    But this time, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were accidentally hospitalized. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. If her parents were gone, then she could do anything to the child!


    Looking at the time, it was probably about time. Gu chengyan leaned back in his office chair and dialed the number.


    There was a man on the other end, and the first thing he said on the phone was, "Boss, we''ve caught up."


    "Yes, very well." Gu chengyan praised. After seeing the news, she sent someone to look for little treasure''s whereabouts. The result was in less than half an hour. It seemed that the other party''s ability was good. She tapped her finger on the railing and asked, "Where is he?"


    "I just got back to the gu family villa. The person who sent her back is Qin Baiye."


    "Qin Baiye?" Gu chengyan frowned and leaned forward with an arm propped up on the desk. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Is there anyone else besides him?"


    She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with little treasure, but she didn''t expect that Qin Baiye was actually taking care of little treasure. Qin Baiye''s power was not small, and if he brought his bodyguards, then her people would definitely have a lot of trouble in action.


    Fortunately, the other party replied, "I don''t think so. I didn''t find anyone else along the way with him, but I don''t know if there was anyone else in the villa."


    "There are no bodyguards outside..." Gu chengyan deliberated, nodded and decided, "In that case, you will be there with someone to guard when the child comes out and when to catch him."


    "Yes." The other party agreed and then asked, "Boss, what do you mean?"


    Don''t hurt her yet. Bring her back to see me. By the way, if Qin Baiye stays with her, then go up and grab it. There are four of you. Is it okay to deal with one of Qin Baiye?"


    "No problem."


    Putting away his phone, the person next to him immediately came over and asked, "Big brother, what did the boss say?"


    The man on the phone with gu chengyan narrowed his eyes and stared at the door of the villa without blinking. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he said in a low voice, "Grab the child and watch out for something."


    "Oh... Aye! Big brother, they... They''re out!"


    The man followed his fingers and saw that Qin Baiye had really come out with little treasure in his arms. Qin Baiye''s car was parked at the entrance of the villa, and there was no one around!


    Right now!


    At the man''s command, the four people in the car rushed out together and went straight to the child in Qin Baiye''s arms.


    Qin Baiye heard the sound and turned to look at them. He had already understood the situation with the eyes of the four of them, but he still stood there straight, not panicking, not running away.


    The man thought he was scared out of his wits and was about to snatch the child from him when he realized that the situation was a little strange.


    Wait... Wait...


    The man stopped abruptly, and the three people around him stopped at the same time. They looked straight at Qin Baiye for a long time, then mechanically turned their heads and scanned around the 20 or so black-robed bodyguards who had emerged without warning.


    "This is... What''s going on?" Asked one of the four fat men, who weighed 180 pounds.


    Qin Baiye curled his lips helplessly, handed little treasure to jian mengqi, who heard the voice running out, and walked towards the four of them step by step.


    He glanced at the four men in turn, then stopped in front of the man who was on the phone with gu chengyan. He raised his eyelids and asked, "If I asked you who sent you here, you wouldn''t have said it, would you?"


    The man snorted heavily, obviously not cooperating.


    In that case, Qin Baiye didn''t talk nonsense to them and asked the bodyguards to call the police. While waiting for the police to arrive, he was bored to "Chat" with the four of them and said, "Your methods are really not very good, I felt it on the way here."


    "President qin is awesome." The man said angrily.


    "I''m not good, it''s gu mohan. He had already guessed that someone would take advantage of his absence to plan for little treasure, so he arranged for a lot of bodyguards in advance in the villa. But you didn''t see anything, did you?"


    Receiving the man''s fierce gaze, Qin Baiye curled his lips indifferently and sneered at himself, "It''s normal not to see. They are all standing guard inside the wall. My company, my home, including the road, are all secretly protected..."


    He paused, approached the man in front of him, and said in a dangerous tone, word by word, "So, whoever sent you here, tell her not to use those bad ideas again."

 Chapter 298 Jian Mengqi Was a Rival in Love?

    Not long after, the police arrived, briefly understanding the situation, and took away four men who were trying to rob the children. The bodyguards returned to their respective positions, and peace returned to the front of the gu family villa.


    Jian mengqi shook little treasure''s arm and asked, "Is little treasure scared? Those people didn''t touch you just now, did they?"


    Little treasure bit his lips and shook his head, "Uncle qin has been hugging me."


    "Well, that''s good." Jian mengqi answered with relief and then turned around to enter.


    Qin Baiye grabbed her from behind and glanced at little treasure with worry. He said to her, "You should go to the hospital first. I''ll take care of little treasure."


    "Look at zhiqiao and gu mohan?" In fact, she had wanted to go, but she was afraid that Qin Baiye would not be able to handle it alone. Ever since ye zhiqiao left, little treasure''s appetite had decreased a lot. When she heard about the accident between them in the morning, she only ate a few mouthfuls and ran back to the bedroom listlessly. At this time, little treasure definitely needed someone close to him. Qin Baiye had no experience with children. So jian mengqi was worried.


    Qin Baiye knew what jian mengqi was worried about and deliberately dragged her back a few steps. When she saw xiao bao enter the door alone, she explained, "I let you go just to see the situation. If they are not seriously injured, we can bring xiao bao over. She can rest assured if she sees it with her own eyes. Otherwise, no matter how you coax her, she won''t eat."


    "Hey!" Jian mengqi stared in surprise, "That''s a good idea!"


    Qin Baiye rolled her eyes speechlessly and patted her on the head, "If it''s not bad, just go. Just drive my car. I''ll go in and play the rubik''s cube with little treasure."


    It was rare for Qin Baiye to get deflated, but she was definitely clumsy when it came to spending time with children. She patted him on the shoulder as he did, laughing and encouraging, "There''s a long way to go!"


    With that, she smiled slyly and ran out of the door.


    When they arrived at the hospital, it was probably because gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were so famous that jian mengqi pulled a nurse and asked for the patient''s number. But strangely, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao did not live in the same ward, but they were far away from each other upstairs and downstairs.


    Jian mengqi naturally wanted to see ye zhiqiao first, but when she went downstairs, she found that ye zhiqiao lived in a normal ward. Although it was also a single room, the facilities inside were not as good as those in a high-class ward, including the temperature of the air conditioner.


    She leaned over to the bed and looked at ye zhiqiao carefully. The more she looked at her, the more frightened she became. Just now, the doctor had told her about ye zhiqiao''s condition. She knew that ye zhiqiao was seasick and had a high fever, but when she saw such a weak and pale ye zhiqiao in front of her, her heart still ached.


    Didn''t he just go to a birthday party? How did it look like a terrorist attack? Jian mengqi thought to herself.


    However, even if her heart ached again, ye zhiqiao still couldn''t wake up, and she couldn''t eat anything during the high fever, so she could only rely on glucose to supplement her energy.


    Jian mengqi had no choice but to take care of her and help her wipe herself. Then she asked the nurse to go through the formalities and change ye zhiqiao''s ward upstairs to be next to gu mohan. After that, she went to visit gu mohan.


    Although gu mohan had been in a coma and was still in a coma, his condition was much better than ye zhiqiao''s. He was just exhausted, so he could slowly recover as long as he rested.


    Hearing that he could eat, jian mengqi ordered a white porridge from the internet and prepared to feed him.


    Because in the current situation, both of them were not awake, so little treasure definitely couldn''t come over, and just came with a rush to get angry, so her top priority was to take good care of these two patients.


    When shen molong pushed the door open with the lunch box, she saw jian mengqi carrying a porridge bowl and scooping up a spoonful to gu mohan''s mouth.


    "Who are you?!" Shen mo nong moved faster than her brain. With a loud shout, she rushed over and gave jian mengqi a hard push on the shoulder!


    Jian mengqi was focused on feeding the unconscious patient. A sudden scream startled her. The impact on her shoulder naturally could not be avoided. Following shen monong''s movements, she threw herself sideways. The bowl of porridge in her hand was even more unstable. It was all on gu mohan. A part of it was splashed on his face...


    "Ouch -" her arm was hit by the bedside table. Jian mengqi let out a cry of pain and looked at the culprit with a wrinkled face.


    Shen molong was also stunned when he saw the bowl of porridge fall on gu mohan, but then he came back to his senses. Anyway, gu mohan is still in a coma. It doesn''t matter what happens. The most important thing at the moment should be this unknown woman!


    She hugged her arms and looked fiercely at jian mengqi who had climbed up from the chair. She did not know jian mengqi, but this morning, a fighting chicken with a mouth open and shut "Brother gu" came, and then this woman who was close to feeding came. Of course, she took jian mengqi as her rival who coveted gu mohan.


    As for his love rival, shen monong naturally upgraded to a fighting posture. Just as jian mengqi straightened her clothes and stood up, she had already begun to raise her eyebrows and ask, "Who are you? Who are you? Why did he come to his room without saying anything and feed him? What are you?"


    Jian mengqi was not a vegetarian either. She had been blinded by a series of sudden situations before, but now, no matter who the woman in front of her was, she choked and said, "Can you control who I am? I wanted to ask you, why did you run to gu mohan''s ward? Do you want to poison or assassinate?!"


    "I... You..." The woman in front of him was obviously much more powerful than the one in the morning. Shen monong refused to give in and cursed, "You are a woman. Why is your mouth so poisonous? It would be strange for Mohan to take a fancy to someone like you! I advise you to be a little more shameful and stop coming here like a vixen!"


    Jian mengqi stared at her in disbelief and took a deep breath, "A vixen? You call me a vixen? Do you think I can take a fancy to gu mohan? It''s only a woman like you who can take a fancy to her!"


    Jian mengqi was so angry that she forgot what she just said and scolded ye zhiqiao directly.


    As gu mohan''s pursuer, shen monong was naturally angered by this remark and shouted even more fiercely, "You are! You don''t have the face to seduce a man''s lowly..."


    "Shen munong!"


    A low male voice came from below.


    Shen mo nong and jian meng qi were both stunned, then they looked down and saw that gu mo han, who was on the bed, had woken up at some point and was staring at shen mo nong with his dark, bloodshot eyes.

 Chapter 299 Porridge Stain

    Shen mo nong''s face instantly turned ugly. He opened his mouth and explained, "Mohan, I didn''t scold... No... I didn''t mean to..."


    "Get lost." Before shen molong could finish speaking, gu mohan had already coldly thrown out a word.


    From the moment he woke up, he heard shen monong scolding. It was an indisputable fact, and she was not scolding anyone else, but jian mengqi. Although jian mengqi''s temper is usually a little fiery, but it is definitely not the person who takes the initiative to stir up trouble, and jian mengqi is ye zhiqiao''s best friend, he naturally wants to stand on jian mengqi''s side.


    Shen mo nong looked at jian mengqi without knowing why and asked reluctantly, "What is her relationship with you?"


    "This has nothing to do with you."


    "I saved you!" Shen mo shouted at the top of his voice.


    Gu mohan remained expressionless, blinking his eyes and saying, "So you don''t have to apologize to jian mengqi for the time being. I will repay you for saving me this time."


    "That''s not what I meant..."


    Shen molong frowned and tried to explain, but gu mohan interrupted again in a cold voice, "Get out. Don''t disturb me."


    Shen mo nong''s body froze and stared at him for a long time. It was not until tears could not help but gush out of her eyes that she asked in a trembling voice, "Do you think I''m here to disturb you? I... I saved you and took care of you without any rest until now. Do you think I''m noisy?"


    Gu mohan turned his head away and said in an emotionless tone, "Thank you very much, but please go out now."


    Shen monong was angry and sad, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She glared at jian mengqi with hatred, and finally did not say anything. She turned and ran out of the ward.


    At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, that is, to find shen Qingyuan and let shen Qingyuan make the decision for her! Gu mohan and the woman named jian mengqi bullied people like this. She must have an explanation!


    In the ward, jian mengqi fixed her gaze on the direction of shen monong''s departure, not knowing what to say.


    She wanted to ask who this woman was, why she appeared in gu mohan''s ward, why she saved gu mohan, and why she acted like a hostess. But she thought about it carefully and felt that she couldn''t ask. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had a good relationship. She could see that. She could not misunderstand gu mohan because of such a small matter. Moreover, gu mohan had just woken up. Judging from his attitude towards the woman just now, he was in a bad mood.


    Jian mengqi decided to trust him.


    With this in mind, jian mengqi handed over a tissue. Gu mohan''s face was covered in the porridge just now, and it had been stuck to it until now. It must be very uncomfortable.


    Gu mohan glanced at the tissue, but did not take it. Instead, he sat up and looked around the ward, then asked jian mengqi anxiously, "Where''s Zhiqiao? Didn''t she come back?"


    "I''m back." Jian mengqi was a little strange, but she still explained, "She''s been having a high fever and hasn''t woken up yet."


    "Where is she?" Gu mohan asked as he put on his shoes. When she heard jian mengqi say "Right next door," she immediately ran out.


    "Hey! The porridge on you hasn''t been wiped yet!"


    The voice of the reminder was completely forgotten by him, and jian mengqi had no choice but to follow him. As for the porridge, let''s talk about it.


    In the next ward, gu mohan was already squatting beside ye zhiqiao''s bed.


    Although ye zhiqiao''s pale face and dry lips were similar to his, gu Mohan still felt a prickly pain in his heart. He didn''t take good care of ye zhiqiao, but he fainted before she was rescued. He promised to take her to a safe place, but he didn''t do it. He also promised not to leave her alone, but he didn''t do it!


    "I''m such a jerk... Zhiqiao... I''m really a big jerk..."


    Gu mohan was angry with himself, but at the same time felt guilty for ye zhiqiao. He stroked her burning forehead. Gu mohan had no choice but to apologize again and again and repent without knowing if ye zhiqiao could hear him.


    "I''m sorry, Zhiqiao, I always keep my mouth shut... I always hurt you, I... I don''t understand... Why am I so stupid... I can''t even drive a life raft..." He bent down and kissed ye zhiqiao''s eyes, pleading, "Can you wake up soon? You can yell at me and hit me, but don''t... Don''t do this anymore. I really can''t stand it..."


    Jian mengqi stood behind him and tried to endure it. She still tried to persuade him, "Gu mohan, Zhiqiao is not awake yet. Otherwise, you should go back to the ward and rest for a while. I''ll call you when she wakes up."


    Gu mohan did not look back, but only shook his head gently and said, "No, I''m here with her."


    When he said this, gu mohan had boundless care, indulgence and determination. If ye zhiqiao opened her eyes at this time, she would definitely indulge in the tenderness in his eyes.


    However, ye zhiqiao still did not wake up, only jian mengqi''s voice came with the air: "The doctor told me to let you rest more, or you can go to the bedside to lie down, so that you can look at Zhiqiao."


    Gu mohan''s adam''s apple rolled, but he still shook his head and refused.


    "Ah--"


    Jian mengqi swallowed helplessly, thinking that her worry just now was really superfluous. Look at how big master gu looked, as if he and zhiqiao were going to be separated and turned into butterflies. How could he still be in the mood to hook up with other women? It seems that she had misunderstood.


    But it was good that he loved ye zhiqiao enough so that she could trust him.


    He did not leave, so jian mengqi had to move a chair to let him sit on this patient, and then suggested, "Little treasure is still in the villa for Qin Baiye to take care of. Why don''t they come too?"


    Thinking that ye zhiqiao liked to hurt little treasure, gu mohan would immediately agree if he heard little treasure''s voice, but then he thought that little treasure might be sad if he saw ye zhiqiao sick, so he hesitated.


    Jian mengqi understood his thoughts and persuaded, "Let little treasure come over. She knows that she can''t eat after your accident. She might have stomach trouble again after a long time."


    Hearing that little treasure couldn''t eat anymore, gu mohan immediately became worried and agreed with jian mengqi''s idea. He asked jian mengqi to contact Qin Baiye and ask him to bring little treasure over.


    Qin Baiye and little treasure seemed to be ready for this. After jian mengqi called, she rushed over in less than 20 minutes.


    Originally, he thought it was a crying and howling visit, but he didn''t want to. When little treasure entered the door and saw gu mohan, he immediately covered his stomach and laughed. If Qin Baiye hadn''t stopped her in time, he might have rolled on the ground.

 Chapter 300 The Red Mark on Her Chin

    Gu mohan looked at little treasure for a long time without knowing why, and then he looked at Qin Baiye doubtfully.


    Qin Baiye, who had been focused on holding little treasure, couldn''t help but curl his lips when he saw gu mohan. Although he wasn''t as exaggerated as little treasure, he was obviously trying to hold back his laughter.


    Gu mohan was even more surprised, so he turned to look at the only "Normal person" beside him."


    Although jian mengqi didn''t smile, the reason why she didn''t smile was because she was used to it. Receiving gu mohan''s look for help, she raised her hand and nodded at her chin. She curled her lips and said, "Remind you several times to wipe your face. Who told you not to listen? This is embarrassing, right?"


    "Ang?"


    Gu mohan was taken aback, then subconsciously reached out to touch his chin, only to feel that there was a dry, sticky porridge stain that seemed to have dried. Oh, he was too anxious about ye zhiqiao''s illness just now, so he forgot about this.


    The laughter of little treasure and Qin Baiye resounded throughout the ward. Gu mohan was so embarrassed that he left their direction without any momentum. Then he rushed into the bathroom.


    Looking at himself in the mirror, gu mohan could not help but laugh. The place where the porridge was spilled was so tricky that it covered the tip of his chin. It looked like he had a white beard and his strong facial features made him look ridiculous.


    No wonder little treasure laughed like that.


    Gu mohan shook his head helplessly, turned on the tap and began to wash his face.


    The sound of "Clatter" came to an end. Gu mohan took out a towel to wipe his face. When he glanced at the mirror, Yu Guangzhong suddenly appeared a little strange.


    "Eh? What is this?"


    Gu mohan muttered, leaned his head closer to the mirror, and poked his chin with a finger.


    There was an irregular red mark the size of a coin on his chin, which looked like a burn.


    "Was it scalded by porridge?" After going out, jian mengqi asked him.


    Gu mohan shook his head, "I don''t know, but the burn should hurt, right? This... Doesn''t hurt."


    Jian mengqi and Qin Baiye looked at each other in confusion. Jian mengqi thought about it carefully and said with a frown, "It should be scalded. I don''t want to feed you porridge yet. Yes, of course not. It''s so big and ugly. I wouldn''t have missed it if I had it."


    After what jian mengqi said, gu mohan also thought it would be a burn.


    In any case, this kind of thing on his face was a bit of a loss of image. Even the young master gu who had never had a pimple was very surprised and decided to put up a number to confirm the treatment.


    However, the sitting doctor in the department of dermatology looked, touched, and touched, and took a medical flashlight for half a day, the result was not a burn.


    Gu mohan was confused and asked worriedly, "What else can it be if it''s not hot? It''s not a skin disease, is it?"


    The doctor put down his flashlight, shook his head and said, "That''s not true. It should be caused by some kind of chemical contamination, but it''s not harmful to the body. After a while, he will be back to normal, and there is no need for a molecular test."


    "Chemicals?" Gu mohan frowned and thought to himself, isn''t the porridge on his chin? How did it become a chemical?


    When he returned to the ward, he asked the question from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, jian mengqi was even more surprised than he was.


    "Chemicals?! The doctor said that?" Asked jian mengqi as she approached him.


    Gu mohan nodded as he wet ye zhiqiao''s lips with a cotton swab and replied, "But the doctor said it''s not dangerous. It''ll be fine in a few days."


    "But... But I really only spilled porridge..." She asked Qin Baiye, "Is there anything like that in the porridge?"


    Qin Baiye raised his finger and scratched his eyebrows, "Normally, there shouldn''t be any red marks."


    The more she thought about it, the scarier she felt. Was there something wrong with her porridge? The result would have been the same if it had been on his skin. If shen monong hadn''t appeared at that time, what would have happened if gu mohan had drunk that bowl of porridge?


    Jian mengqi suddenly felt creepy and said in a panic, "I ordered it from the takeout website at that time. Could something go wrong in the process?"


    She said it in a vague way, but apart from xiao bao and the unconscious ye zhiqiao, the other two understood what she meant.


    She suspected that something had been added to the porridge.


    Gu mohan knew that she was kind-hearted, and even if something went wrong, he could not blame her. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don''t think too much. I''m fine now. And this might have something to do with being in the sea for so long."


    "That''s impossible." Jian mengqi didn''t believe him, "That bowl of porridge didn''t come out before it was sprinkled. Why did it come out so suddenly in such a short time?"


    Seeing that jian mengqi''s voice was trembling, as if she was very aggrieved and a little scared, Qin Baiye put his hand around her shoulder and comforted her, "Well, things are not completely certain yet. This is not the time to panic. I''ll send someone to investigate right away, so don''t worry."


    "Can you find out?" Starting at the restaurant where the meal was ordered, the delivery man walked a long way to the hospital. He might have experienced many things on the way, and it certainly wouldn''t be easy.


    Qin Baiye gave her a comforting smile and said softly, "Trust me, it''s okay."


    After that, jian mengqi followed Qin Baiye back to investigate the matter. Gu Mohan went downstairs to buy lunch himself. Although he couldn''t eat for the time being, little treasure still needed to eat.


    Gu mohan was a little worried when he heard that little treasure didn''t eat well after he found out about him and ye zhiqiao, but he didn''t expect the little guy to recover his spirits as soon as he saw ye zhiqiao. He also knew that ye zhiqiao''s coma was only temporary, so he didn''t worry at all. He obediently held the bowl and ate at the table.


    Gu mohan took the time to take a look at her and felt comforted. Then he withdrew his gaze and focused on ye zhiqiao''s sleeping face. He said softly, "Can you hear the sound of little treasure eating? She''s eating really well. If you miss her, wake up and get well. I''ll take you out for a big meal."


    Ye zhiqiao naturally did not respond, only the regular emergence of a hazy fog on the respirator mask, indicating that she was sleeping soundly.


    She didn''t need a respirator, but it might have something to do with her memory in the sea. She had nightmares occasionally, had difficulty breathing in her dreams, and in serious cases, it would affect her heart rate, so the doctor specially put a respirator on her.


    Gu mohan would occasionally help her moisten her lips and skin to make her feel more comfortable and help her to cool down.

 Chapter 301 Grandma Is Here

    "Dad... Dad..." After lunch, little treasure, who was playing in the hallway, suddenly ran back to the ward, looking a little flustered.


    Gu mohan squatted down to pick her up and asked, "What''s wrong, little treasure? What are you so anxious about?"


    "That person... That... Milk..." Little treasure muttered for a while and kept turning to look outside the door, as if he was very anxious. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Dad, you... Your mother is here."


    She struggled for a long time and still did not call out the word "Grandma." Although she felt that she was very impolite and was afraid that she would make her father unhappy, she still refused to call out. This showed how strange and scary mother gu was in her mind.


    Gu mohan rubbed her head painfully. Instead of blaming her, he continued gently, "Did grandma come to see us? Where did she go?"


    Little treasure was clever and followed his words, "I think so. She got off the elevator and walked straight over. Then she met a nurse who was talking to her."


    "Oh, I see..."


    Gu mohan answered absent-mindedly, thinking that his mother had no idea what she was planning to do. It would be fine if she came to visit him, but if she came to trouble ye zhiqiao, she would definitely be bullied again.


    It was almost too late, and mother gu might come in at any time. Gu mohan pulled little treasure and said quickly, "Little treasure, stay here with aunt ye. Daddy will take grandma out to chat."


    If little treasure was willing to do so, she would be scared to death of her grandmother, who was always angry and had a loud voice. Of course, it would be best if she didn''t see her.


    Gu mohan kissed her on the cheek and got up to leave the room. Within a few steps, he met his mother, who had always dressed up beautifully.


    "Mom, you''re here." He greeted first.


    Mother gu agreed. She walked up to him and looked at him carefully for a long time. She looked worried and asked, "How is your recovery? It still doesn''t look good. Look at your face. Are you not used to living in the hospital?"


    "Ah... No." Gu mohan replied perfunctorily. In order not to let mother gu see little treasure and ye zhiqiao in the ward behind her, she pointed to the ward next door and invited, "Come in and sit down."


    Without any doubt, Mrs. Gu walked in and sat down on the sofa. She looked around and saw that the facilities in the ward were too simple. She said unhappily, "The environment here is really not good. I just asked the nurse. She said that the hospital doesn''t even have a vip restaurant. You must not recuperate well here. Otherwise, go home and let the family doctor go. The chef can also make you a nutritious meal three times a day."


    Gu mohan followed in and sat down in his chair, refusing, "No need. I live comfortably."


    "You are just too stubborn. Your parents are still doing it for your own good. You don''t know. When I heard about your accident this morning, your father and I were so worried!" As she spoke, mother gu sighed and showed a worried look of "Children don''t know their parents'' hearts."


    He was so worried in the morning that he remembered to come over and visit them. He also had his hair and makeup done. Indeed, gu mohan did not understand what they were thinking.


    However, gu mohan was already used to this and cooperated, "It''s not as serious as it was reported. Go back and tell dad to let him rest assured."


    "Yeah." Mother gu absent-mindedly agreed, then stole a glance at gu mohan from the corner of her eye and asked, "Have they reported anything to you about the company?"


    Gu mohan was startled, "What is it? Is there a problem?"


    "You don''t know yet? What do your men do for food?" After a few scoldings, Mrs. Gu continued, "It was after the news that you were hospitalized that the company was suddenly attacked by the Yi''s. I don''t know the exact situation. After all, it caused a lot of losses. Your father is now leading a few shareholders to improve crisis public relations."


    "Is there such a thing?" Gu mohan wondered how yi shaozhi could move so fast.


    Seeing that he had loosened up, Mrs. Gu took advantage of the heat and said, "Your father is old and has been retired for several years. This time, he can come out temporarily to help you. I don''t know what will happen next time, so you have to work hard and find a good wife to help you. That way, your father and I can rest assured."


    Gu mohan could guess what she was going to say without thinking about it. He quickly changed the subject and said, "I can''t go back to the company for the time being. I''ll trouble dad first, but I''ll contact my assistant. I''ll tell him the details."


    Mother gu did not care about his arrangement at all. She continued, "Mohan, you and yan yan have been together for such a long time. We should get to know each other better. We should make sure of the marriage as soon as possible so that our parents can rest assured!"


    "Get married? Who told you I was going to marry her?"


    Gu mohan''s face immediately changed, and he reminded her with a grave expression, "I''ve already canceled my engagement with her, let alone get along with her... You must die of this heart, I will never marry her!"


    "That''s how you talk to your mother?!" Mother gu was also unhappy to see his attitude. But on second thought, gu mohan was a pushover. Facing him might only make things worse. He suppressed his anger and coughed softly, then said, "Actually... It''s okay if you don''t know yan yan that well. Don''t you all care about mystery now? Maybe after you get married, you''ll just find out that she''s fine..."


    Gu mohan raised his hand and interrupted, "Mom, if you continue to talk about this, then I don''t need your concern. Just go back."


    Although he tried to suppress it as much as possible, the impatience in his tone was easily discerned. Mother gu knew this was a sign of his anger. She thought to herself, it seems that he really doesn''t like su yanbai, and it is worth his anger to mention it.


    Mother gu was a little upset. As her eyes moved around, she suddenly noticed something unusual.


    No wonder she felt awkward the moment she came in. There was only one person missing. According to the news, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were in a storm together, but there was no sign of ye zhiqiao in the ward.


    Mother gu immediately turned from worry to joy. She thought that gu mohan was finally tired of ye zhiqiao and separated from her.


    Gu mohan did not look at his mother and did not feel the change in her mood. Thinking that she was angry, he said, "Mom, I''m tired and want to sleep for a while, or you..."


    "I heard that it was a father and daughter named shen who saved you. Was it shen Qingyuan and shen monong who met at the hospital last time?"

 Chapter 302 Two Attacks

    Mother gu suddenly asked. Gu mohan did not understand what she meant and nodded honestly.


    Mother gu also nodded, but she was preoccupied with another matter. According to the news, it was early in the morning when gu mohan was rescued. The Shen shi father and daughter had been searching for people on the sea by helicopter since the night. Shen Qingyuan wanted to cooperate with gu family. It was normal for him to make such a gesture of goodwill, but what was shen mohan doing for? There were also a few times before, shen mo''s strong words were inseparable from gu mohan, and now gu mohan abandoned ye zhiqiao, could it be...


    There seems to be no other explanation except that gu mohan and shen mosheng have a good feeling for each other, right?


    Mother gu felt that her analysis was very thorough and couldn''t help but curl her lips. She thought to herself, whoever it is, as long as it''s not ye zhiqiao, the jinx!


    "Mom?" Seeing that mother gu had not spoken for a long time, gu mohan had to remind her.


    Mother gu regained her composure and said slowly, "If you really don''t like su yanbai, then mother won''t force you. Since you have already taken a step back, then mother will take a step back. Although shen molong is a female star and usually appears in public, her family background is still ok. You can try dating."


    Mother gu said that gu mohan "Took a step back," because she misunderstood that he and ye zhiqiao were separated. Naturally, gu mohan could not understand what she meant and asked with a blank face, "What are you talking about again? Shen and I... How is that possible?"


    "Oh, don''t hide it from mom. I can tell..."


    Just as mother gu and gu mohan were discussing letting shen monong be the daughter-in-law of the gu family, at the door of the ward next door, the protagonist they were talking about was eyeing the unconscious woman on the bed.


    When shen molong ran to shen Qingyuan company in the morning, shen Qingyuan heard her talk about what happened in the hospital, then asked her to roughly describe jian mengqi''s appearance, and finally told her that jian mengqi was just a friend of ye zhiqiao. The reason why she was there to take care of gu mohan was because she misunderstood ye zhiqiao.


    However, after shen mo long knew the truth, his original worry became even more serious.


    She already knew that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were lovers, but from the perspective of the men she had met, there was no one who was not a playboy. Even if she had a girlfriend, there were quite a few who were still flirting outside. If gu mohan was in this category, wouldn''t her hope of getting gu mohan be even greater?


    But from the looks of it now, things don''t look good. Even ye zhiqiao''s friends took the initiative to take care of gu mohan. It could be seen how close the relationship between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao was, and it was estimated that she and the fighting chicken that fell from the sky in the morning would not pose any threat to their relationship.


    Therefore, her biggest rival in love right now is ye zhiqiao, including gu mohan who chased her away to protect jian mengqi, because of ye zhiqiao. Then the object of her grievance and unwillingness should also be ye zhiqiao!


    So, she went back here again, preparing to teach ye zhi a lesson.


    At present, it seems that gu mohan and jian mengqi are not in the ward, only ye zhiqiao and xiao bao are inside. Shen monong pondered for a while, then pushed the door open and walked in.


    When little treasure heard the noise, he thought that his father had returned. He turned around happily and found that a beautiful aunt had come in.


    "Auntie, who are you looking for?" Little treasure blinked his big round eyes and asked in a milky voice.


    Shen molong looked back at the door and saw that no one was passing by, so he relaxed and said to her, "Your father is waiting for you downstairs. He asked you to send him a coat."


    Ever since the incident with gu chengyan last time, gu mohan and the others had taught little treasure a lot about crisis education, so at this time, she did not believe shen molong''s words very much: "But dad wants me to wait for him here."


    Shen molong did not expect a little girl to be so difficult to deal with, and was afraid that it would take too long for gu mohan to come back, so he hurriedly took out his phone, clicked on the photo and showed it to her, and explained, "Auntie is not a bad person, she didn''t lie to you. Look, it was auntie who saved your father."


    The Shen shi father and daughter rescued gu mohan''s report, which xiao bao had seen this morning, was accompanied by a photo of shen molong. At first glance, it looked exactly like the aunt in front of him.


    The other party was the savior of his father and aunt ye. Little treasure''s guard immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "Thank you, aunt shen. You are a good person. Little treasure likes you so much."


    Shen monong cooperated with a kind smile and asked, "Then little treasure should believe aunt shen''s words this time and send clothes to dad, right?"


    Little treasure nodded vigorously, picked up the coat next to him and trotted out the door.


    "Cut! How gullible." Seeing that little treasure''s jumping figure had completely disappeared, shen monong muttered contemptuously, then quickly walked to ye zhiqiao''s bedside.


    Ye zhiqiao had been in a coma, so she probably couldn''t feel what she was doing to her. As shen molong pondered how to deal with her, she suddenly noticed the breathing mask on her face.


    Without that thing, the feeling of not being able to breathe should be very uncomfortable, right? Shen mo thought darkly.


    After that, she quickly removed the oxygen tube connected between the respirator and the mask, and did not dare to take a closer look, so she hurriedly turned around and fled the ward.


    But what she did not expect was that the mantis caught the cicada and the sparrow, just at a corner opposite her escape direction, a white figure in the dark environment had already seen her actions.


    A white nurse''s uniform, a white nurse''s cap, and behind a white mask, Li Qian gently raised the corners of his mouth.


    She first looked around vigilantly and saw that everything was normal. Then she walked into the ward that shen mosheng had just left.


    Ye zhiqiao was still asleep, and the people coming and going had no effect on her. Even if the ventilator broke down, she could still breathe normally.


    Li Qian could not help but despise the intelligence of the woman, but she did not have any dissatisfaction, but with a smile, yanked out the infusion needle on the back of ye zhi''s skillful hand.


    Because the movement was too big and there was no control over the direction, ye zhiqiao''s pain nerve conditioned reflex caused her arm to shake suddenly, but she still did not wake up.


    Li qian breathed a sigh of relief and observed the back of her hand without blinking. When she saw the gurgling blood coming from the needle, she slowly raised her hand to the top of ye zhiqiao''s head and pressed the call bell.


    The nurse''s desk was immediately informed that a doctor and a few nurses rushed in and saw the condition on the bed and subconsciously shouted, "What''s going on? How did the patient''s needle get pulled out?"


    "And the oxygen tube has been removed!" Another nurse reminded him.

 Chapter 303 It Was All Made by Shen Molong

    Li Qian opened his mouth at the right time in the same confused and panicked tone as the others, "I just passed by and saw a woman... A woman hurriedly running from here... Running out. I felt a little strange and wanted to come in and take a look, but... That''s it."


    "Ah? Someone did this on purpose? How scary!" A little nurse exclaimed in horror as she busied herself.


    A few nurses followed suit.


    Li Qian knew that his mission had been completed, and if he stayed there, it would be suspicious, so he took advantage of the chaos and left the ward.


    Walking on the flagstone below the hospital, she slowly took off her mask and raised her head slightly, allowing every cell in her body to be fully exposed to the sun.


    This feeling of being bathed in the warm sunshine made her feel at ease.


    She strolled along the road, thinking that she should be grateful and resentful that gu chengyan had brought her out of prison and sent her to harm ye zhiqiao.


    According to the statement of taking care of chengyan, ever since she was arrested, gu chengyan had been trying to find out all aspects of the matter and spent a lot of relationship and money to get her out. After that, he promised to give her benefits immediately as long as she did a good job this time. As for whether she wanted money or a position, she could choose.


    It looked tempting, but she could no longer follow gu chengyan''s orders like before.


    Hoo -


    Unconsciously, she had already thought about a lot. Seeing that the time was almost up, she decided to go back and find out about ye zhiqiao first, and then talk about the rest later.


    She put on a mask, hid in the crowd coming and going from the hospital, and slowly approached ye zhiqiao''s ward...


    At this time, gu mohan was informed by the nurse to return to the ward. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a piece of red stain on the bedsheet beside ye zhi''s skillful hand. "Who did it?" He said angrily.! Can''t your nurse on duty see any strangers?"


    The head nurse had just explained the general situation of ye zhiqiao to gu mohan. Seeing that he was in trouble, she could only apologize with a low brow, "I''m sorry Mr. Gu, because miss ye lives in a high-class ward. In order to protect her privacy, there are no cameras in the room, so we..."


    "What about the hallway? There''s nothing there either?" Gu mohan asked in a deep voice.


    The head nurse''s face was flushed and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes... Yes, but... But there are a lot of people coming to visit. We can''t verify our identities one by one."


    In the end, she had no confidence in herself.


    Gu mohan''s eyes darkened and he was about to reprimand him when a small figure suddenly ran into the door of the ward and threw itself directly at his leg.


    He looked down and saw that little treasure was pouting with discontent. He twisted his calf and asked, "Dad, why did you come back? I''ve been looking for you downstairs for a long time."


    Gu mohan squatted down and asked, "What are you doing downstairs? Didn''t dad ask you to accompany aunt ye?"


    "Hmm?" Little treasure stared at him blankly and asked, "Didn''t dad ask me to go down and give my coat?"


    A coat?!


    Gu mohan followed her gaze and looked at the coat in her arms, immediately smelling something strange.


    He didn''t want little treasure to know that ye zhiqiao had been framed. He was afraid that little treasure would feel guilty, so he calmed down his expression and asked the head nurse to leave first. Then he picked up little treasure and sat down on the sofa. He asked casually, "Who told little treasure about his father?"


    Little treasure looked at him strangely and fiddled with his little hand, "Auntie shen, she saved daddy and auntie ye. Little treasure is polite and said thank you to her."


    "Auntie shen... Shen monong?!" Gu mohan asked in shock.


    He suddenly raised his voice, and little treasure trembled with fear. He asked in a mosquito like voice, "Dad, did little treasure do something wrong?"


    Gu mohan could not say that she had done something wrong, because from a child''s point of view, shen mo thick was indeed a good person, but if shen mo thick used such a shameless method to harm ye zhiqiao by saving him, then he would not have to save face for her anymore!


    He stroked little treasure''s head, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his anger. After a while, he said to little treasure, "Little treasure did the right thing. Dad is also very grateful to little treasure for giving his father a coat, but in the future... Well, dad still hopes that little treasure will not trust strangers easily. If someone deceives him, where will aunt ye and I find a cute and cute little baby like little treasure?"


    Little treasure always felt that gu mohan''s reaction was a little strange, but after all, he was a child. When he heard gu mohan''s witty praise, he couldn''t help but giggle.


    After comforting little treasure, gu mohan excused himself to the bathroom and called Qin Baiye.


    Since he had heard from little treasure that shen monong had been here and he had made up a lie to deceive little treasure, he naturally attributed all of ye zhiqiao''s problems to shen monong. In this case, he would definitely not let shen monong go easily.


    On the phone, he and Qin Baiye roughly described ye zhiqiao''s situation, and then asked Qin Baiye for help to investigate the reason why shen monong attacked ye zhiqiao first, and then discuss the way to deal with shen monong.


    Qin Baiye naturally responded to every request and promised to investigate the problem with the porridge overnight.


    Gu mohan hung up the phone and went out, but he saw that his mother had followed him, and was sitting beside ye zhiqiao''s bed, tucking her in...?


    Unable to believe his eyes, gu mohan walked closer and asked, "Mom, what are you..."


    Mother gu turned her head, glanced at little treasure, and then said, "I heard you on the phone just now. It''s really infuriating that shen mo nong did this. What I said before doesn''t count. You can''t be with a woman like shen mo nong."


    Mother gu''s attitude suddenly took a 180 degree turn. Gu mohan was a little confused by her and couldn''t help but ask, "But didn''t you say that shen monong''s family background is okay? And you treat zhiqiao..."


    Didn''t she always dislike ye zhiqiao? What''s happening now?


    Mother gu cleared her throat, raised her head and raised her chest, "Your mother is not such an unreasonable person. I can''t just stand by the wrong side when something like this happens, can I? Then what did I become? You can rest assured that your mother will support your decision... By the way, I will send a few people back to help you with your investigation. Zhiqiao must be fair!"


    Zhiqiao... This child...


    If it wasn''t for mother gu who was watching, gu mohan would have dug out his ears to see if something was wrong with his hearing. He actually heard mother gu call ye Zhiqiao by her name and speak in the tone of a loving elder. Is this... Still mother gu?

 Chapter 304 Hatred and Hatred

    Mother gu did not know whether she saw gu mohan''s surprise or not. She still took care of ye zhiqiao calmly, and the care in her eyes did not diminish.


    Seeing that gu''s mother was about to feed ye zhiqiao water, gu mohan quickly took the spoon from her hand and stammered, "I''ll come, mom... Take a rest."


    With a "Yes," Mrs. Gu left the chair and sat on ye zhiqiao''s bed. She stared at ye zhiqiao''s face for a long time and asked, "Is Zhiqiao so thin? How could her chin be so sharp? I just touched her hand. It was bony and there was no meat at all."


    "Ah..." Gu mohan thought for a long time about ye zhiqiao''s figure and did not know what to say.


    Mother gu did not feel uncomfortable at all. She continued, "Let her eat more in the future. Girls nowadays like to lose weight. What''s the beauty of bones? But I think health is the most important thing."


    Gu mohan laughed dryly and agreed, "Okay. But she can still eat, but she doesn''t absorb nutrients."


    Mother gu nodded and said nothing more.


    Gu mohan observed mother gu''s expression while feeding ye zhiqiao water, but after a long time, he didn''t see anything unusual about her. Gu mohan could not help but wonder: did mother gu really suddenly change her attitude and accept ye zhiqiao?


    But why?


    Perhaps it was because mother gu knew that he didn''t like su yanbai, and shen molong was too scheming, so she finally saw that ye zhiqiao was better?


    Although this explanation was a bit far-fetched, gu mohan really could not find any other reason.


    With this thought in mind, gu mohan''s mood suddenly brightened up, because the haze caused by the sea storm was also swept away. Yes, what could be happier than the gu family''s willingness to accept ye zhiqiao?!


    "By the way, she still has blood on her hand. Let the nurse come and change the sheets later." Said Mrs. Gu, pointing to a spot on the bed sheet.


    Gu mohan recovered from his reverie and immediately nodded in agreement, unable to hide the smile on his lips. When he got up, he suddenly remembered something and asked mother gu, "Mom, do you want to go back and rest now or stay a little longer? If you stay, I''ll bring you some dessert downstairs. There''s a good shop nearby."


    "I''m not leaving for the time being, and I don''t have to buy anything for me. For zhiqiao... And little treasure." Although mother gu''s face flashed with embarrassment when she said "Little treasure," she still looked kind and kind as a whole.


    "They want to eat, so do you." Gu mohan showed a rare closeness to his mother, then smiled and turned to leave.


    Just a second before he opened the door, Li Qian quickly stepped back into the stairwell. Hearing his footsteps fading away, she walked out softly.


    Li qian looked in the direction of gu mohan''s departure, then looked at ye zhiqiao from the window of the door, and then left the hospital to meet gu chengyan at a tea restaurant in the city center.


    In the elegant teahouse, gu chengyan had already ordered a drink and was waiting while swiping her phone. When she noticed Li Qian sitting opposite her, she looked up with a smile and asked, "How are you?"


    "What''s all right?" Li Qian asked, "Are you referring to my feelings after I got out of prison, or the current situation of ye zhiqiao?"


    A trace of awkwardness appeared on gu mohan''s face, but in a flash, it was replaced by an intimate smile.


    "Of course it''s you. You know, I appreciate what happened before and I feel embarrassed too, so I wanted to take advantage of this time to give you some more compensation."


    Li Qian sneered in his heart. Can you just say "Thank you" and "I''m sorry" in jail? As expected, gu chengyan was very shrewd. He was still a good boy when he got a bargain!


    However, although she was angry in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She followed gu chengyan''s words and said, "Thank you, director gu. This operation was very successful. I disguised myself as a nurse and went to the hospital. Just as there was no one else in ye zhiqiao''s ward, I pulled out her infusion needle and oxygen tube."


    She said it casually, but the truth was mixed. Not only did she not say that anyone else wanted to harm ye zhiqiao, but she also did not say that she rang the bell to inform the doctor and nurse.


    However, since she was very capable and loyal before, gu chengyan did not doubt her words, but continued happily, "What about after? She wasn''t discovered, was she?"


    Li qian had already made up her mind. She opened her mouth and said, "I stayed there for a long time to monitor her. It took a long time for the doctor to find her abnormality. When I pushed her into the emergency room, I took a peek at the crowd. Her lips were purple and she was probably in critical condition."


    Of course, these were all lies she had lied about.


    Gu chengyan believed in this and was so happy that he couldn''t close his mouth. His eyes were shining brightly. He waved his big hand and praised, "Good, Li Qian, you''ve never let me down! Say, I''ll give you whatever reward you want."


    "I..." Li Qian lowered her head and smiled, her eyes gradually turning dark.


    To put it bluntly, li qian still had hope for gu chengyan when she was just dragged out of prison by gu chengyan. She felt that gu chengyan would be more or less moved by her actions of holding all the blame, but she did not expect that gu chengyan would only treat her as a tool and receive praise and reward when she could still work for others. If she did not have the ability, would she have to eat for more than ten years?!


    What gu chengyan wanted to give was clearly what she deserved. Not only that, she deserved more! Otherwise, all the suffering she suffered in prison would be in vain?! Being bullied by the women in the prison every day, working from morning till night, not daring to rest until the end of the day, not being able to eat decent food, being treated like slaves by the discipline... This kind of suffering should not be hers, she suffered for gu chengyan, shouldn''t gu chengyan make up for it?!


    She actually had to complete the task before giving her a charitable reward, huh! It was really too much!!


    If she had been resentful of gu chengyan before, her resentment had all turned into resentment since gu chengyan said that he was going to reward her with that condescending look. That hatred was not built up overnight, but every day and night in prison!


    Whoever she hated, she would naturally retaliate.


    Li Qian regained his senses and looked away from the fruit teacup. He smiled at gu chengyan and said, "I didn''t ask for anything. I want anything from director gu. Anyway... I still have a lot of time to work for you in the future."


    Perhaps she hid it too well, or perhaps gu chengyan was too complacent and careless, and gu chengyan did not recognize the danger in her tone.

 Chapter 305 Talking Alone

    "Well, since you''re out of the house and you''re no longer living in it, I''ll help you choose a new one and then give you a card to guarantee your daily expenses in the future."


    In this city of every inch of land and gold, the price of a house was beyond imagination. Besides, there was a bank card. She could not only live comfortably but also raise her standard of living by a few grades. It was really amazing... If she hadn''t taken the blame for gu chengyan, she would have been grateful to him.


    Li Qian gave a proper expression of gratitude and said sincerely, "Thank you, director gu. You are really too kind to me. If there is anything else you need help with, just tell me. I will be obliged."


    "Really?" Gu chengyan covered his mouth with his well-maintained hand and laughed happily.


    Li Qian laughed with her, but at the same time added in his heart, "No matter what you ask me to do, I am obligated to... Destroy all your plans!"


    At this time, when gu chengyan was overjoyed that ye zhiqiao was in danger, ye zhiqiao in the hospital was quietly waking up.


    Before ye zhiqiao lost consciousness, her last memory was in the cold and boundless sea. The whole world was left with only the dark sky, the strong and piercing wind howling, and the anxious and nervous gu mohan because of her.


    But when she woke up again, she saw a completely different scene.


    Pure white ceiling, comfortable temperature and soft quilt, gu mohan''s surprised laughter... And gu mother?


    Mother gu?!


    Ye zhiqiao blinked her eyes a few times. No matter what she looked at, the person who was carrying a cup and a spoon to her mouth was like a mother gu. What was going on? She crossed? Amnesia? Or is he delusional? She actually saw mother gu sitting by her bed and taking care of her. Isn''t that... A fantasy?!


    "Zhiqiao!"


    Without waiting for ye zhiqiao to find an explanation for the confusion in her heart, gu mohan had already held her head in his hands with joy and kissed her fiercely without concealing his joy. He said in a loud voice, "Well, I will go to your attending doctor if you sleep again!"


    "I... Did I sleep for a long time?" Ye zhiqiao''s head was still a little swollen and painful. With gu mohan''s help, she sat up reluctantly and half leaned on the pillow.


    "Yeah... A little longer than me, but not too long." Gu mohan was afraid that her previous encounter would cast a shadow on her, so he asked tentatively, "Did you have a nightmare while you were sleeping? Like dreaming about the sea or something?"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and shook her head, "No, I don''t remember."


    "That''s good, that''s good..." Gu mohan heaved a sigh of relief and explained, "You sometimes have difficulty breathing when you''re unconscious. You''re afraid of water, and I was thinking about what to do if your psychological shadow deepens this time."


    After that, without waiting for ye zhiqiao to answer, he continued, "But don''t worry. You''ve been lying on the life raft since then, and nothing happened. I''ll arrange time to take you to learn how to swim, and you won''t be afraid of the water anymore."


    About the topic of learning to swim, ye zhiqiao felt that she could stay until later to discuss it slowly. The only thing she wanted to know now was the mother gu who was sitting by her bed and listening to her and gu mohan chat with a smile on her face... What was going on?


    Although ye zhiqiao no longer had any good feelings or even some subconscious fear for mother gu due to the previous unpleasant interactions, mother gu was an elder after all. She felt that she should take the initiative to say hello, so she turned to mother gu and nodded, "Hello auntie, just now... When I woke up, you seemed to be feeding me water, right? It''s too much trouble."


    Gu mohan had known about the change in mother gu''s attitude for a long time, but ye zhiqiao was the first time to see her, so in her astonished eyes, mother gu smiled kindly and even extended a hand to cover the back of her hand, rubbing it gently as she said, "They are all my own people. Why don''t you say it''s troublesome? But you have to protect yourself next time. You can''t always get hurt like this. Not only Mohan is worried about you, but auntie will be worried too."


    Ye zhiqiao felt that if it wasn''t for her mental derangement, there must be a bug in this world. She actually heard mother gu say she was worried about her! Not to scold her for being a jinx, not to despise her family background, not to insult her for being a white lotus and worshipping money, but to be like an ordinary elder, asking her to take good care of herself?!


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t get used to it for a while, so she said "Thank you" in a daze, then shut her mouth tightly, afraid that she would not be able to control her shocked expression.


    After gu mohan, mother gu was no longer surprised by this reaction. She smiled clearly and said to gu mohan, "Mohan, can you go to the doctor to find out about Zhiqiao''s condition first? I have something personal to say to zhiqiao alone."


    Speaking to his son''s female friend, gu mohan subconsciously thought that the direction of things would be beneficial to him and ye zhiqiao, so he readily agreed.


    But just as he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of ye zhiqiao''s expression, which was half panicked and half asking for help. It was obvious that ye zhiqiao was a little averse to this sudden conversation, or rather, she had some fear of being alone with mother gu.


    In front of mother gu, gu mohan could not say anything clearly. Before opening the door, he quickly mouthed ye zhiqiao and said, "Don''t worry, it''s okay. I''m outside. Then he clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it to his chest, making a" come on "Action to give ye zhiqiao strength.


    Ye zhiqiao wrinkled her face in embarrassment and wanted to continue asking gu Mohan what to do. However, she saw that her mother seemed to notice gu mohan''s small movements and was turning to look at the door.


    Gu mohan rushed out of the room before his mother saw him. In an instant, the quiet ward was left with the calm gu mother and the little daughter-in-law, ye zhiqiao.


    After a while, Mrs. Gu opened her mouth to break the silence, "Zhiqiao, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any discomfort?"


    Ye zhiqiao shuddered and waved her hand, "No, no, it''s good."


    "Well, that''s good. Are you hungry? If you''re hungry, I''ll ask Mohan to buy you a meal." Mrs. Gu tilted her head and asked with concern.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know how she managed to completely change her attitude in such a short time. Not only did she not see any trace of her previous shrewdness, but she also became so gentle and understanding. Ye zhiqiao found it strange and even more surprising, but since the elders took the initiative to show their good intentions, she could not bring up the past in a bad way, so she had to restrain her doubts and give a polite response.

 Chapter 306 Go to Work at Gu Group

    "It''s okay, auntie. I''m not hungry." Ye zhi qiao paused and added, "Thank you for your concern."


    "Eh," said Mrs. Gu, "I''ve already said it. Don''t say thank you to your own people. That would make you look like a stranger. I know that you might feel uncomfortable being alone with me, but I really don''t mean anything else. I just want to talk to you about my health. Mohan is a big man, and I''m afraid you''ll be embarrassed if he''s here."


    Mother gu said so, ye zhiqiao must quickly deny: "No, I am not uncomfortable, I can talk about anything you want."


    "Yes, that''s right." Mother gu patted her hand with satisfaction and continued, "You don''t have to be nervous. It''s not a big deal. I just think you''re too weak and thin. I hope you can replenish your nutrition. After all, your body is the most important thing. You don''t even know that auntie is scared when she touches your wrist. She says in her heart, how can a child be so thin!"


    "Ah? Ah..." Ye zhiqiao touched her wrist and smiled awkwardly, "It seems a little. I will eat more in the future."


    After that, mother gu said a lot of things about her body and life, and her words were full of concern. Ye zhiqiao felt that it was inappropriate for her elders to pay attention to her, so she timely asked, "Auntie, I heard that uncle was discharged a few days ago. Is he recovering well now?"


    "Oh, he''s fine." When it came to gu father, gu mother''s attitude was somewhat perfunctory for some reason.


    Ye zhiqiao was a little strange, but in order to express her importance as a junior, she said, "After I heard about uncle''s illness, I looked up on the internet a lot of high blood pressure patients need to pay attention to the matters of life and diet. If possible, I hope to take care of uncle, because Mohan is always so busy, I want to do more filial piety for him."


    "Take care of old gu?" Mother gu''s eyes suddenly wavered. She smiled dryly and said, "Okay... Okay, come back when you''re well."


    "Auntie, actually I''m..."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to say that she actually felt very good and should be able to leave the hospital anytime to take care of her uncle, but she only said half of it, and mother gu interrupted, "You really need to take care of your health now. After you marry Mohan, you have to have children. How can you bear it if you are not in good health?"


    Suddenly mentioning the matter of marriage and children, ye zhiqiao was surprised again, with a hint of embarrassment in her surprise.


    However, mother gu did not care. She changed the subject and said, "And if you marry Mohan, I still hope that your status can be improved... A little more. I don''t know if you can understand my words, but you also know that Mohan is in charge of the gu family. His wife must match his status. Otherwise, rumors may spread from the outside world, affecting the development of the gu family."


    "...


    When it came to the topic of identity, ye zhiqiao didn''t know how to answer it. Everyone''s background had been decided from the moment they were born, and she had no choice.


    After a brief silence, mother gu said again, "Actually, auntie didn''t say this to increase your psychological burden. She just wanted to discuss it with you. Would you like to work hard for Mohan if you had the chance?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know why, "How hard? I don''t quite understand."


    Mother gu turned the jade bracelet on her wrist and picked out her eyelids, "I''m going to arrange a position for you at gu''s. You should go to practice first and continue your promotion after making good achievements. In that case, you and Mohan are on the same level. What do you think...?"


    "To the gu family?"


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously frowned when she heard this, and the doubt in her heart became even more serious.


    At first, gu mohan asked her to run mengxing group. Although for various reasons, she has basically transferred her power now, she still keeps working with jian mengqi''s studio, including her own work level, which has been steadily improving. No matter what, she should not have to work at gu''s, right?


    Moreover, according to gu''s mother, the position assigned to her could only be staff. She really couldn''t think of the need to do so.


    Ye zhiqiao pondered for a few seconds, then politely refused, "Auntie, I''m sorry, I might be wasting your mind. Because my professional job is design, I''m really not familiar with the affairs of the company, and it might be troublesome to rush to the past."


    "How could it be?" Mother gu seemed to have predicted that she would refuse, so she immediately enthusiastically reassured her, "You can go. Auntie has already arranged for you. There will be professional staff to guide you. There will be no problem. Everything has to start from scratch, and your design has to start from scratch, right? It''s not that difficult. One must have the courage to start over."


    Although ye zhiqiao didn''t understand why she enjoyed her job so much and had already risen to prominence in her field, she suddenly had to choose another job that she wasn''t interested in and start over again. But in order to express her gratitude for the careful care of mother gu, ye zhiqiao immediately put on a flattered expression and bowed her head, "You''ve arranged so well that I don''t know how to thank you. Well, it''s just... I still don''t think it''s appropriate for me to work. Of course, it''s because I''m stupid and slow to learn. I''m too embarrassed to bother others."


    Originally, ye zhiqiao''s words reached this point, which was already a completely firm expression of his position. People with a little insight should not force them, but mother gu seemed to be unable to understand ye zhiqiao''s refusal, and continued to persuade with a smile: "Okay, Zhiqiao, auntie knows you are modest, your brain is stupid, then there are smart people in the world? I used to hear that people who engage in art are gifted, quick to learn, and have an exquisite way of doing things. Auntie believes in you, and you have to be more confident."


    "... I... Believe in me" ...


    For some reason, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt as if she could not get off the tiger. Although she did not know when she got on the tiger, mother gu said so, as if if if she did not agree, she felt a little ungrateful.


    Seeing that her attitude was a little loose, Mrs. Gu immediately struck the iron while it was hot, "I have tried my best. I know that you may still have prejudices against me because of the previous misunderstanding. If you can''t let go of it, then... Forget it."


    After hearing this, ye zhiqiao only had three words in her heart - you won.

 Chapter 307 Mother Gu Scolded Shen Munong

    "Auntie..." Ye zhiqiao sighed secretly and nodded reluctantly, "I would like to go to gu''s... To try."


    "Ah, this is the sensible girl!" Mother gu was overjoyed. She held ye zhiqiao''s hand and rubbed it together for a long time without letting go.


    Ye zhiqiao also responded with a smile, trying to suppress the discomfort in her heart.


    Compared to ye zhiqiao, gu mohan was much happier when he heard the news.


    When he found out about mother gu''s arrangement, he couldn''t keep his mouth shut. He thought it was a sign of her kindness to ye zhiqiao and paved the way for ye zhiqiao to marry into the gu family in the future. It could be said to be very open-minded."


    Mother gu gave him a feigned look of reproach and said, "I told Zhiqiao not to say thank you, but you were nice to your own mother."


    Gu mohan scratched his head awkwardly, glanced at ye zhiqiao and said, "Okay, then I''ll thank you with my actions. Just now, I asked zhiqiao''s attending doctor. He said that zhiqiao is all right now and can be discharged tomorrow. After zhiqiao is discharged, I will go back to the company to clean up immediately, and I will take time to take care of dad''s health."


    "Yeah." Mother gu nodded in satisfaction.


    In fact, there were so many nannies and servants in the gu family that she didn''t need gu mohan to take care of her father personally. However, the company was in a hurry, and gu mohan promised to return to the company. Of course, her mother was very happy.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    While the "Family of three" was chatting harmoniously, the door of the ward was suddenly knocked on, and then Qin Baiye walked in with big strides.


    He had known from jian mengqi that mother gu was there, so he was not surprised to see her. He walked over and nodded and said, "Aunt gu, you are here."


    Mother gu smiled and answered, "Xiao ye is also here to see Zhiqiao?"


    "Yes, but there is one more important thing." Qin Baiye turned to face gu mohan and continued, "The investigation you asked me to do has a result. It was indeed done by shen molong. She had already admitted it on the way here."


    He was referring to the thing that secretly harmed ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan''s face immediately turned ugly. He got up and asked, "Where is she now?"


    "Brought here under my control."


    With that, Qin Baiye shouted at the door, "Bring her in!"


    Gu mohan, ye zhiqiao, and gu mother looked towards the door together. Not long after, under the guidance of a bodyguard, shen monong walked in slowly with his head down.


    When it happened, ye zhiqiao was still in a coma, so her resentment towards shen monong was not very strong, but gu Mohan could not bear to see shen monong at this time, and she was about to rush over as soon as she came in.


    But just before he did, mother gu opened her mouth one step ahead of him.


    "Shen mo long, I heard that you wanted to kill Zhiqiao. What''s going on? When you met your father before, you were a decent and polite girl. Don''t you feel ashamed to do such a thing now?"


    Shen monong did not expect mother gu to be here. She was prepared to be scolded or even beaten by gu mohan. At the worst, she would tear her face apart. After all, both she and her father, shen Qingyuan, desperately wanted to have a good relationship with the gu family. She had already offended gu mohan. If even the sporadic good feelings that gu''s mother had for her disappeared, her hopes for shen Qingyuan would be completely dashed.


    "Why aren''t you talking? Do you know you''re wrong, or do you want to keep your mouth shut?!" Seeing that she had not answered for a long time, mother gu asked again, and her tone was obviously much worse than the last time.


    Seeing that the situation was not good, shen mocheng quickly walked up to mother gu and said sadly, "Auntie... Auntie is my fault. I know my mistake... I really know my mistake. Please don''t be angry with me. I was also confused for a moment..."


    "Momentary confusion?" Mother gu raised her eyebrows and continued, "Then tell me what kind of stupid hair made you do such a harmful thing, do you know? If it weren''t for Zhiqiao''s good fortune, her life would be in danger if she pulled out the oxygen."


    "I... I was... I was... Because..." Shen mo nong turned to look around the whole ward. The eyes of gu mother, ye zhiqiao, Qin Baiye, and gu mo han were fixed on her. The next words made her feel embarrassed.


    But in order to get the understanding of mother gu, even if it was embarrassing, she had to say, "Auntie, I am honestly jealous of ye zhiqiao! Because of her, all Mohan''s eyes would be on her. Even though I was searching for him on the sea from night to early morning, he didn''t give me a gentle face. After sending him to the hospital, I took care of him every step, but he was the first one to wake up. It really hurts me..."


    Shen molong''s feelings for gu mohan had long been known by the people present, and they were not surprised at all. Mother gu remained calm and asked calmly, "Is that why you hurt people? It''s not a good thing that women are jealous."


    Shen mo nong had thought that when she said a tearful sentence, the gu mother, who was also a woman, would understand more or less, but she did not expect that the other party did not take it seriously and scolded her again.


    There was no other way around it, so shen mo long had to start to admit her mistake again, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. I promise I won''t do this again. Can you forgive me once and give me this chance? Please!"


    Shen monong was a star, both in appearance and acting skills were better than ordinary people, at this time, the pear blossom with rain was pitiful, anyone who saw it should be soft-hearted, but not his mother.


    Mother gu''s tone was calm, as if shen mo nong was too sad and lowly to touch her, "I''m not the one who can forgive you and give you a chance, but Zhiqiao, so you don''t have to apologize to me. Also, although I used to feel something about Mohan, I didn''t mention it because of your father and your behavior. But today, because your excessive behavior has caused real harm to zhiqiao, I have to say something." !!!


    Shen mo nong''s heart suddenly rose. She could already predict what mother gu would say next.


    Mrs. Gu straightened her back and said, "First of all, it''s your freedom to like who you like. I have no right to interfere and I don''t want to interfere. But I can tell you clearly that it''s absolutely impossible for you to be with Mohan and enter the gu family."

 Chapter 308 Shen Molong Apologized

    "Auntie, I..."


    "Hear me out." Just as shen mocheng was about to defend himself, mother gu cut her off mercilessly, "I won''t let you into the gu family, not only because of what you did to zhiqiao, but also because of your family background."


    At the mention of family background, shen monong''s tears stopped in an instant, and her cheeks flushed red from the fever. Since she was a child, her identity was the thing she cared about the most and could not change the most. Others said that maybe she could argue with her neck tied up, but mother gu said that she could only listen obediently and endure it.


    Mother gu''s words were naturally harsh, "You are an illegitimate daughter. Although the outside world has not yet spread, a little investigation will always find out that although in the current fashion, illegitimate daughter is not a disgraceful identity, but our gu family is different from other families, which will probably damage the reputation of the gu family."


    The three of them were a little surprised and puzzled by gu mother''s behavior, but gu mother looked like she was simply holding a grudge for ye zhiqiao, and then rejected the pursuer for her son. They seemed to have no reason to stop her.


    In an awkward silence, mother gu continued, "And your father, shen Qingyuan. If we talk about cooperation, he might become a powerful partner in Mohan''s business, but as Mohan''s father-in-law, it would be unqualified for him to butt in. That kind of reputation is worse than you being an illegitimate daughter."


    "Auntie, is your reputation that important... In your heart?" Shen mo nong clenched his hands into fists and trembled slightly. Shaking his head, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am a star. I have a certain degree of fame. If I continue to develop in the future, I may not be worthy of Mohan."


    Mother gu waved her hand and completely crushed her thoughts, "Fame is important. Mohan''s own heart is more important."


    She turned to look at gu mohan and said with a faint smile, "He already has a sweetheart, and I am very satisfied with him, so you should stop thinking about him. In the future, stop pestering him."


    "Sweetheart?" Shen monong frowned and looked straight at ye zhiqiao. The sadness in her eyes was gradually replaced by anger, "You mean... Ye zhiqiao?"


    Mother gu did not answer, but her "Rightful" expression showed everything.


    "Is she... Any better than me?" Shen molong asked reluctantly.


    Mother gu chuckled and spread her hands out, "Of course, I''m very satisfied with Zhiqiao in more ways. I did a good job. I treated Mohan''s father and Mohan''s daughter well. My heart was pure and kind... Oh, right, I just remembered that I mentioned earlier that you should apologize to zhiqiao, right?"


    Hearing this, shen mo thick''s eyes suddenly widened!


    Mother gu did say that she should apologize to ye zhiqiao, but... She thought it was just talk. Did she really let her... Bow her head to ye zhiqiao in front of so many people?


    Seeing shen monong''s incredulous face, mother gu also showed a surprised expression and asked, "Is there anything inappropriate? Didn''t you always want to be forgiven? Now I''ll give you this chance. Also, although the gu family certainly does not lack the money, in order for you to express your sincerity, Zhiqiao must compensate you because you were hurt and frightened."


    Compensation?!


    Shen monong straightened up abruptly, and the resentment in his eyes, which were fixed on ye zhiqiao, was not concealed at all! She didn''t understand. Isn''t ye zhiqiao still sitting here? Can''t you still watch her being insulted and scolded?! Where was ye zhiqiao frightened? What did she have to compensate for?!


    Mother gu really went too far! She was only willing to give face to mother gu for the sake of shen Qingyuan and gu mohan, but why should she keep giving in? There was a limit to her patience!


    "Are you not convinced?"


    Mother gu stood up, faced shen mo nong and blocked her sharp sword-like eyes from shooting at ye zhi qiao, "Mo nong, you know, auntie didn''t mean to make things difficult for you, but zhi qiao is Mohan''s heart. If you don''t give her a satisfactory answer this time, Mohan will definitely disagree. Be good, go to zhiqiao and apologize, and pay for the loss. When we meet again later, auntie will still treat you as her own daughter."


    Giving a sweet date a slap is a common method, but when used, the results are often unexpected.


    Perhaps it was because mother gu was too domineering in her daily life. When she said these words all of a sudden, shen monong''s dissatisfaction with her really decreased a lot. Or rather, she transferred all of her dissatisfaction and resentment to ye zhiqiao.


    Yes, according to the mother''s words, it was not that gu mother refused to let her go, but gu mohan refused, and the reason why gu Mohan refused was all ye zhiqiao. He wanted to seek justice for ye zhiqiao, so she had to become a victim. Pride, dignity, and backbone were all sacrificed in exchange for ye zhiqiao''s satisfaction.


    In the end, the person who really went against her was still ye zhiqiao!


    Apologize, right? Compensation, right? Okay, she can do it. It''s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After today, she and ye zhiqiao are still at odds, but in the future, she will learn to be smarter. Even if ye zhiqiao is killed, no one will find out!!


    Shen monong''s lips moved and said in a low voice, "Okay, auntie, I agree with your request."


    She raised her head and walked slowly to ye zhiqiao''s bed under the encouraging gaze of mother gu. Facing the most disgusting and disgusting face in the world, she showed her "Sincere" apology and said in a trembling voice, "Ye zhiqiao, I''m sorry. I was the one who got you into trouble. I won''t... Ever do it again. Can you... Forgive me?"


    Ye zhiqiao was not the weak white lotus in the eight-time tv series and would not be silly enough to sympathize with the people who tried to hurt her, but the look in front of her was so sincere that she had to believe that shen mocheng was genuinely repentant.


    She was willing to give an opportunity to those who knew they could change.


    She turned her head to look at gu mohan and saw that although gu Mohan was frowning for some reason, she had no intention of stopping him. She smiled and said to shen mohan, "Yes, I''m fine now. The doctor said that I can be discharged soon. What you did... Didn''t have any serious impact on me. If you apologize, I won''t blame you anymore. This thing... Just let it go."


    Heh -


    What a scheming woman! She pretended to be kind and magnanimous in front of outsiders, thinking that everyone would be touched by you, right?

 Chapter 309 To Kill with a Knife

    Shen mo nong cursed ye zhiqiao fiercely in her heart and used the most vicious language she could think of. But when she looked at ye zhiqiao, she smiled gratefully and said softly, "That''s really very grateful to you. You are so open-minded. No wonder auntie likes you so much."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao immediately waved her hand in embarrassment when she heard this, shen mo nong spat in her heart again and then said, "And the compensation thing that auntie just said..."


    "You don''t need that, do you?"


    In the middle of shen molong''s speech, ye zhiqiao quickly interrupted her and looked at mother gu for advice, "Since she apologized, my medical expenses are not much, so there''s no need to bother anymore, right?"


    Instead of answering, mother gu tapped shen monong with her chin, indicating that the two of them should settle the matter themselves.


    Shen mo thick had guessed that she would be this attitude, secretly laughed at himself, and then said: "Of course, it is necessary to compensate, not only for medical expenses, but also for mental damage and nutrition expenses, which should be paid by me."


    As she said this, she raised her hand to touch her pocket and looked embarrassed, "I came out in a hurry. I didn''t bring my bank card with me. I''ll ask my father to pay you when I get back, okay?"


    At this point, ye zhiqiao naturally didn''t want to embarrass shen monong any more. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, all right."


    "Then... I''ll go first."


    Shen monong turned around and nodded slightly at mother gu, calmed down and said "Goodbye auntie," then ran away as well, leaving the ward with quick steps.


    She felt that if she stayed another minute, she might not be able to control herself.


    He stormed out of the hospital and crossed a road until he could no longer see the shadow of the hospital building. She sat down on a bench by the side of the road and felt a sharp pain in the back of her feet. When she looked down, she realized that her high heels had worn through her flesh at some point. At this time, the wounds were dripping with prickly blood, and along her eyes, they pierced her heart fiercely.


    The pain was something she had never experienced before. That hatred was something she would never forget!


    All of this was brought to her by ye zhiqiao. Her arrogance and nobility, her beautiful image, were all destroyed by that woman ye zhiqiao!


    Mother gu said that her identity was not good, that her father shen Qingyuan''s reputation was not good, but she said that ye zhiqiao was simple and kind, and that she was the daughter-in-law recognized by the gu family, but how could she not see what was good about ye zhiqiao?!


    Shen mo nong''s body froze. Yes, she had never known ye zhiqiao. She did not know her background and advantages. Could it be that ye zhiqiao had something extraordinary about her? Would someone as cunning and famous as her mother be willing to accept ye zhiqiao?


    If so, then she could destroy everything that ye zhiqiao had. After she crushed ye zhiqiao''s pride, mother gu and gu mohan would definitely regret what they did today. By then, what she had lost would definitely be retrieved hundreds of thousands of times!


    Just imagining it like this, shen mo nong was so excited that she couldn''t control it. It was as if she had already stood at the top of the mountain and stepped on ye zhiqiao like garbage.


    She took out her phone with her right hand trembling with excitement, flipped through the address book with a sharp look in her eyes, and then dialed the number of a paparazzi who seemed to be the most capable in business to her.


    In order to gain a foothold in the circle, celebrities occasionally collaborate with the paparazzi to do something behind the scenes, but this kind of thing is usually communicated by the manager, so when he received a call from shen monong himself, the paparazzi was a little surprised: "Miss shen? What can I do for you?"


    Shen mo nong was not in the mood to pay attention to his attentiveness and said directly, "Can you help me investigate a person?"


    "Oh?" The other party smiled playfully and asked, "Who is the blind one who became your miss shen''s star?"


    "Not a star, but ye zhiqiao, a designer." Shen monong gritted his teeth and said.


    "Ye zhiqiao?!" The other party was even more surprised. Although ye zhiqiao was not yet a member of the circle, her influence was not small. People like them who ran the news should not be unaware of it. "What are you investigating her for?" The paparazzi asked doubtfully.


    Shen monong hated his tone just now, as if ye zhiqiao was such a big shot.


    "Cut the crap! If you want to check, you can check. If you don''t want to make money, there are still a lot of people waiting!"


    Hearing shen monong lose his temper, the paparazzi immediately put away his curiosity and changed into a flattering tone, saying, "I am willing to... What you miss shen told me, let alone give money, even if I am obligated."


    Of course, shen monong would not believe that he was running on a train with his mouth full, so he continued to talk to him about the payment and the investigation of ye zhiqiao''s life and other matters, and then packed up his emotions and went home, waiting for the final result.


    The time she told the paparazzi about it was around five in the afternoon, and the news reached gu mohan''s ears the next morning.


    Because ye zhiqiao was always under attack from an unknown source, gu mohan had already arranged for someone to protect ye zhiqiao''s identity information, and the paparazzi who helped shen monong investigate were discovered by gu mohan''s people without any accident, then the staff reported the whole thing to gu mohan.


    In fact, gu mohan had a vague feeling that something was strange since shen molong apologized yesterday, but he couldn''t figure out what was strange for a moment. But today, when shen monong''s investigation into ye zhiqiao came out, gu mohan was suddenly enlightened. The misty thing that had been in front of him all this time drifted away in an instant.


    It turned out that he was so overwhelmed with joy that he almost fell into the hands of his mother.


    No wonder mother gu''s attitude towards ye zhiqiao changed greatly after she knew that shen mo nong had secretly harmed ye zhiqiao. No wonder mother gu wanted to greet ye zhiqiao and praise ye zhiqiao in front of shen mo nong. No wonder mother gu wanted to embarrass shen mo nong and apologize to her for compensation... So she was simply using a knife to kill someone!


    The reason why gu mohan felt strange at that time was not only that his mother''s attitude had changed too quickly, but also that she suddenly said something soft after shen molong was completely disfigured by her accusation.


    It was the sentence "Auntie didn''t mean to make things difficult for you, but zhiqiao is Mohan''s heart. If you don''t give zhiqiao a satisfactory answer this time, Mohan will definitely disagree."


    Gu mohan felt that it was very strange that that sentence appeared. Mother gu''s previous behavior was clearly condemning shen monong for harming others, but that sentence immediately picked herself up completely, and instead pushed ye zhiqiao to the forefront of the storm.


    At that time, he thought that maybe mother gu was angry and confused, but now he thought that she was clearly shifting flowers and trees, transferring all the anger and resentment that shen moqiang had caused because of her to ye zhiqiao!

 Chapter 310 Stop Pretending

    She didn''t want him to be with ye zhiqiao. Although she agreed later that he was with shen monong, she was reluctant. What she wanted most was for him and su yanbai to marry as agreed. The time for shen mo nong to secretly harm ye zhiqiao was just right. She took advantage of this opportunity to use some means to make shen mo nong and ye zhiqiao lose both sides. After that, she made a profit and successfully changed back to su yanbai, the satisfied daughter-in-law.


    Heh!


    Gu mo gave a cold laugh, but his dark eyes were filled with anger, "You are indeed a man who has worked with his father for decades. What a shame!"


    He turned his head to look at the clock. The hour hand was pointing at eleven. It was twelve o'' clock when ye zhiqiao was discharged from the hospital. At this time, mother gu should be delivering lunch for ye zhiqiao in the ward as promised yesterday.


    Although he felt disgusted to see mother gu''s hypocritical face, gu Mohan still took the keys to the car and rushed to the hospital, because he felt that something had to be confronted with mother gu!


    In the hospital, mother gu had indeed brought a nutritious lunch prepared by the servants. Ye zhiqiao looked at the sumptuous meal and was not sure how to thank mother gu. Gu mohan rushed in with a dark face and didn''t even knock on the door.


    The sound of him kicking the door was so loud that ye zhiqiao was shocked, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.


    Seeing this, mother gu complained to gu mohan, "What''s wrong with you? Zhiqiao''s just a little fit. Don''t scare her anymore."


    Look at mother gu''s kind face, as if she really cared about ye zhiqiao from the bottom of her heart!


    Gu mohan closed his eyes speechlessly, shook his head and said to his mother, "All right, mom. I can see it already. Stop pretending."


    The last four words, he said almost with gritted teeth. Although ye zhiqiao did not know what happened, with her understanding of gu mohan, it must be a very serious matter, otherwise gu mohan would rarely be so angry.


    So she sat quietly by the side, trying not to disturb gu mohan''s conversation with his mother.


    Mother gu knew the reason why gu mohan was angry better than ye zhiqiao, or when she walked straight towards her after gu mohan entered the room with a face full of anger, she already knew that her plan had been exposed, but even then, she would never have any burden.


    "How can you talk to me? Is it your upbringing to kick the door in?"


    Gu mohan was not surprised at her back-stabbing, because all he could think of was anger, "Then have you ever thought about the reason why I have no upbringing? Or, how much better are you doing than me?!"


    "What are you talking about? I don''t understand!" Mother gu also made an angry look and her face darkened.


    Gu mohan nodded forcefully, "In that case, let''s make things clear. Let me ask you, why did you suddenly treat zhiqiao so well? Is it to make shen monong hate her, then continue to think of ways to retaliate, and finally achieve your goal of letting me marry su yanbai?!" !!!


    Gu mohan''s words were like a thunderbolt, exploding fiercely on ye zhiqiao''s head!


    She opened her eyes wide and looked at mother gu in disbelief. The feeling of being tricked into a trap made her shudder.


    Mother gu''s expression was stiff, but it was fleeting, and then she showed even more shock than ye zhiqiao''s, mixed with wronged grievances and dissatisfaction in her tone, "I don''t understand you anymore. I''ve said it many times. I''m willing to accept Zhiqiao. I even arranged a position for her at gu''s. How can you still doubt me when I''ve done this? I am your mother, not your enemy!"


    "Heh - well said, we are mother and son, not enemies! Then why do you have to go against the person I love?" Gu mohan pointed at ye zhiqiao and said inexplicably, "You and my father have gone too far. I think you know in your own hearts that zhiqiao and I have tried our best to step back and tolerate everything. I even agreed to go back without zhiqiao so that your eyes would be clean! We''ve already reached this point. Why are you not willing to let us go?!"


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao did make the biggest concession to Zhiqiao''s relationship with his parents. This time, it was entirely gu mohan''s mother''s unilateral provocation. Although gu mohan angrily opened his mouth, he did not intend to let his mother apologize or promise anything. He just wanted her to be soft-hearted and know that he had done something wrong.


    But things don''t go according to people''s wishes. Not only does mother gu refuse to admit her mistake, she even justifiably quipped, "I haven''t done anything you said! I really wanted to be good to ye zhiqiao this time, and I did the same after you made the concession. But now that you and ye zhiqiao are here, you can see and hear clearly that you suspect my intentions and are unwilling to let me be good to ye zhiqiao. Then, don''t even think about such a good thing in the future!"


    Gu mohan had long seen mother gu''s ability to confuse right from wrong, but when he saw her again today, he couldn''t help but admire her. How strong was her mental strength and endurance to say these words without guilt?!


    "Heh... Heh... Heh... Hahaha..." Gu mo laughed back angrily, his veins bulging on his forehead. He even thought, if the person in front of him wasn''t his mother, if he didn''t have to obey filial piety, then he would... Mercilessly punch her hard!


    Even then, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in his heart!


    Perhaps his laughter was too penetrating, or maybe he could "Retire after completing the task." Mother gu did not continue to argue, nor did she say anything to ye zhiqiao, but walked slowly towards the door with her head held high and her chest out, leisurely reminding her, "Mohan, don''t forget what you promised me before, go home to take care of your father, and continue to go back to the company to handle business... Oh right..."


    When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned to gu mohan "Seriously," and ye zhiqiao''s work at the company can''t be forgotten. I''ve already taken care of everything. If she doesn''t go, she can''t."


    With that, she slowly turned around and left in a triumphant manner.


    Behind her, there was a "Crackle, crackle," and the sound of objects falling to the ground suddenly rang out. She smiled and continued without any pause.


    The sound of high heels faded away until it disappeared. Ye zhi happened to take a look at the food that gu mohan had swept to the ground. After a long time, she climbed down from the bed with her eyes down and was ready to go to the bathroom to clean up.

 Chapter 311 Come to the Door and Apologize

    Gu mohan noticed her movements and quickly stepped forward to block them. His tone was still a little low, "Don''t move. I''ll come back later."


    "It''s okay. You go over there and sit down for a while. I''ll be ready in a minute." Ye zhi said softly.


    "I said no!"


    Gu mohan took the broom from ye zhiqiao''s hand and threw it aside. When he turned around and saw ye zhiqiao''s surprised expression, he realized that he had lost his composure. For a moment, he was angry and anxious. He explained in a panic, "I''m sorry Zhiqiao... I''m sorry I''m not... I''m not going to lose my temper with you, I just..."


    Ye zhiqiao sighed, took his arm that was nowhere to be placed, and said in a warm voice, "I understand."


    She understood that gu mohan wanted to fight for justice for her, that gu mohan was helpless and forbearing, and that his anger, which had nowhere to vent, was urgently seeking an exit. So no matter what gu mohan did now, she would not be angry. She wanted to be his backing and support him forever.


    "I''m sorry... I... I didn''t take good care of you..." Gu mohan slumped onto the sofa, his hands clasping his head, and muttered in a confused voice, "I don''t know how she can be so deceitful. I thought she was really thinking about me... She really wanted to accept you. I even hope my suspicions are wrong... If only I had wronged her, Zhiqiao, it doesn''t matter... Even if they don''t accept you, it doesn''t matter. I''ll always be by your side... No matter what."


    Gu mohan was filled with grief and anger, and his eyes were red. Ye zhiqiao looked at him with heartache. She couldn''t bear to reach out and hold him in her arms. She gently patted his back like when she was trying to coax little treasure to sleep and whispered, "Okay, don''t leave. If you don''t leave me, I won''t leave you either. Let''s stay together and not care about other people''s thoughts. Don''t blame yourself, okay?"


    "But I..."


    Gu mohan was about to get up. Ye zhiqiao pressed his head against his neck and pretended to be strong, "That''s it. Let''s not think about it anymore. Let''s just pretend it never happened. It was always like this, wasn''t it? We are very happy now. There is no need to bother ourselves."


    "... Gu mohan did not answer in silence, but ye zhiqiao knew that he could listen to her, so she stopped at the right time and gave him time to think through it.


    At one o'' clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. In the quiet ward, the two of them snuggled up to each other, surrounded by the faint breathing of the other.


    Not long after, the silence was broken by a small ball running in from the door.


    Jian mengqi followed behind little treasure and saw that the situation in the ward was about to be stopped. She did not expect little treasure to have rushed in ahead of her.


    In fact, when gu mohan and his mother quarreled, she had already brought little treasure to pick up ye zhiqiao to leave the hospital. When she heard the movement inside, she coaxed little treasure to go to the next ward to rest first. It was only when it gradually quieted down that she allowed little treasure to come over, but she did not expect to spoil the moment when they were both affectionate and affectionate.


    However, even if the space to be alone was broken, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao did not feel pity, because with their current mood, there would definitely not be any charming ideas.


    In order to ease the embarrassment, jian mengqi deliberately said to little treasure, "Look at you, little annoying. Your father and aunt ye are communicating, so they have to come in and make trouble."


    She was always making jokes, and little treasure was used to it. He made a face at her, turned around and stuck to ye zhiqiao, saying in a soft voice, "Auntie ye and little treasure have the best relationship."


    "Ha! Look what you can do." Jian mengqi curled her lips in disapproval.


    Little treasure blinked his eyes, put his hands close to his mouth, and whispered to jian mengqi in a voice that everyone could hear, "Aunt ye secretly told me that her favorite person was me, and then her father and you. If you don''t believe me, don''t ask aunt ye."


    As soon as this was said, not only was it jian mengqi, but even gu mohan was also looking at ye zhiqiao with his eyes tilted.


    Ye zhiqiao seemed to hear their "Vicious" grinding, so she poked little treasure''s arm with her finger and asked pitifully, "How did you betray me?"


    At this time, little treasure seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, his dark eyes turned and turned, and finally he was shy and buried in ye zhiqiao''s arms, like a little milk dog arched and arched.


    The other three couldn''t help but laugh when they saw the situation, and their tension and depression due to mother gu gradually eased.


    After such a ruckus, it was time for ye zhiqiao to leave the hospital. Gu mohan and jian mengqi were busy packing up and going through the discharge formalities, while little treasure was known as taking care of ye zhiqiao.


    They returned to gu mohan''s villa and were about to take a break when the servant informed them of a visitor.


    Gu mohan''s visitors were usually at the company, and there weren''t many people who came directly to his home. Most of them were close friends, so when he heard that the person who came was shen Qingyuan, his first reaction was to disappear.


    First, his relationship with shen Qingyuan was not close, and there was no need to meet him in private time. Second, shen Qingyuan''s daughter had just done so much to ye zhiqiao. His mother even used shen molong''s actions to deal with ye zhiqiao, so he had no good impression of the Shen shi family at this moment.


    However, ye zhiqiao disagreed with his idea and advised him, "Shen moshen is shen moshen, and shen Qingyuan is shen Qingyuan. We can''t mix them up. Shen Qingyuan might be helpful to you and the gu family. Don''t get too worked up over me."


    For ye zhiqiao''s sake, gu mohan had no choice but to let go and order the servants to bring shen Qingyuan in.


    Shen Qingyuan came here after learning everything from shen monong. He knew that this time it was all shen monong''s fault, so both the present in his hand and the guilt on his face were full of sincerity, and even his tone of voice was weaker than usual.


    But gu Mohan was not easily moved by him. After hearing his greetings, he only nodded slightly and did not say a word.


    Shen Qingyuan was a little embarrassed, but the smile on his face was still decent. He sat down on the sofa without waiting for gu mohan to give in. He said to ye zhiqiao, "Miss ye, are you all right? When I heard that you were discharged today, I came to visit you with a present. I also apologize for my disappointing daughter."


    This time, before ye zhiqiao could speak, gu mohan had already snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Mr. Shen and your daughter are really a family. No matter what they do, they just want to settle it with a simple apology."

 Chapter 312 How Shameless?

    Shen Qingyuan was stunned, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, of course not. I came here not only to apologize to miss ye, but also to compensate for miss ye''s loss..."


    He took out a bank card from the gift box, put it on the table and pushed it in front of gu mohan. He continued, "This is a little compensation and sincerity from me and mo nong, but if you and miss ye find it inappropriate, you can open your mouth and I will make sure you are satisfied."


    Gu mohan cast a light look at the gold card, then sneered and asked, "Does president shen think we are taking the opportunity to blackmail people, or do you think I can''t even afford to pay for my girlfriend''s medical bills?"


    If gu mohan''s previous attitude was because he was dissatisfied with shen Qingyuan''s lack of sincerity, then this sentence was completely out of place.


    At that time, gu Mohan was also present when gu''s mother asked shen mo long for compensation. He did not object at that time, but he made it more difficult for shen Qingyuan to deliver the compensation as promised. No matter what, it was unreasonable for him to spread the word.


    Ye zhiqiao thought that shen Qingyuan would fall out and was just about to make a round, but shen Qingyuan did not have any special reaction and still said with a smile, "Who is always gu? Of course, he wouldn''t take these things seriously. But shen mou can''t compare with you, so he can only show all his sincerity, just take care of it, or not... Hehe, to tell the truth, shen mou is also confused, so he can only accept fate."


    It had to be said that shen Qingyuan, an old slick man, was really capable. A few words stopped gu mohan from making things difficult for him and made him punch the cotton. He could not find any reason to be angry.


    Ye zhiqiao answered at the right time, "Both Mohan and I understand president shen''s sincerity, including your apology and your daughter''s apology. Since there are no serious consequences, let this matter pass."


    Hearing ye zhiqiao''s words, the smile on shen Qingyuan''s face suddenly deepened, and her waist straightened a little more than before. She kept praising, "Miss ye is really magnanimous. No wonder president gu is only interested in you. Compared to miss ye''s character, I still have a little girl named mo nong who is ashamed of herself!"


    Ye zhiqiao was not someone who liked to be flattered. She just laughed at shen Qingyuan''s flattery.


    Gu mohan disliked shen Qingyuan''s smiling face even more and ordered him to leave, "President shen''s sincerity has been delivered. Zhiqiao still needs to rest. Please help yourself."


    "This... Oh..." Shen Qingyuan saw that gu mohan was not in the right mood today and did not want to provoke him at this juncture, so he stood up and said consciously, "Since that''s the case, shen will not disturb you. I hope miss ye will take a good rest and recover soon."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded at him.


    Shen Qingyuan then turned to look at gu mohan and said with a smile, "Then master gu, you rest. We will continue to cooperate sincerely in the future."


    After that, shen Qingyuan turned to leave, but gu mohan stopped him, "Wait!"


    "What did you just say? Sincere cooperation? Heh - does shen always think that after shen molong hurt Zhiqiao, there is still a possibility for us to cooperate?"


    Shen Qingyuan''s face froze, but he was rejected by gu mohan.


    In fact, the only reason he came here today was to calm down gu mohan''s anger and continue the cooperation he had agreed on before, even if he was willing to help gu mohan do things, because he believed that as long as he stayed with gu mohan for a long time, gu mohan would definitely find his advantage.


    However, he also knew gu mohan''s character and the position of ye zhiqiao in gu mohan''s heart, so he purposely put this matter in the last place, trying to blur gu mohan''s vision, not wanting to fail.


    At this point, he had to face gu mohan and said in a serious tone, "President gu, you are a smart man. Business is business, personal is personal. As the head of the gu family, you should be clear about business and personal. It''s true that you value miss ye, but you can''t bring your feelings to work because of something unrelated."


    Gu mohan''s face darkened. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "If I can''t separate them, what is president shen going to do?"


    "You!" The mask of shen Qingyuan''s smile was finally torn, and the wrinkles that had been piled up all year round were now stretched out, and the shrewd eyes became more attractive.


    There''s no other way, is there? Gu mo smiled coldly. He wanted shen Qingyuan to be helpless, and he wanted everyone who had hurt ye zhiqiao to pay the price!


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly realized that he probably didn''t intend to forgive shen Qingyuan at all, but wanted to completely break with shen Qingyuan. She quickly grabbed his hand behind her back and whispered, "Mohan, don''t do this. It''s better to have one more friend than to be one. Don''t be impulsive."


    Gu mohan frowned and turned around. He looked at ye zhiqiao and said clearly, "I must cut off all contact with the shen family this time, so that they will have no way to ask for help in the future!"


    Ye zhiqiao knew deeply that breaking up with the shen family would not only affect the shen family, but also the gu family, so she had to stop gu mohan''s thoughtless thinking no matter what.


    "Gu mohan, if you dare to do anything that would harm the gu family for me, I promise I will never forgive you."


    Ye zhiqiao''s voice was very soft. Shen Qingyuan, two or three meters away, could not hear it, but gu mohan could hear it clearly. Ye zhiqiao was his most important person, so ye zhiqiao could easily influence his decision.


    He sighed in frustration and looked at shen Qingyuan with a worse look than before, but he still followed ye zhiqiao''s instructions and did not say anything excessive.


    "All right, you can go, but remember, when you get back, take care of your daughter. If there''s another time, I can discipline your father myself!"


    Gu mohan acquiesced in the partnership, and shen Qingyuan naturally agreed to gu Mohan''s request after achieving his goal. He nodded his head and left in a hurry.


    After shen Qingyuan left, gu mohan was still standing there, seemingly regretting what he had done.


    Originally, she should have been touched by this, but ye zhiqiao was a little sad and amused. In her opinion, gu mohan sometimes acted like a child and was extremely awkward and arrogant.


    At this time, jian mengqi, who was upstairs coaxing little treasure to take a nap, happened to come down. Ye zhiqiao took gu mohan''s hand and said with a smile, "All right, sit down!"


    Gu mohan glanced at her unhappily, but still obeyed helplessly and sat down beside her.


    After jian mengqi sat down, gu mohan remembered a serious matter, "You don''t have to worry about what my mother told you to go to the gu family. I''ll make it clear."

 Chapter 313 Confidential Relationship

    "Hmm?" Ye zhiqiao was stunned and said with a blank face, "Why? Can''t I... Go?"


    Gu mohan shook his head, "I don''t know what her plans are, but based on what I know about her, I won''t leave you any benefits. Maybe it''s another trap."


    Jian mengqi had already heard ye zhiqiao talk about this matter, and she didn''t agree with it at that time. Now even gu Mohan said so, of course, she was more against it: "Yes! Master gu''s mother hates you so much. It''s not surprising that you will get good fruit when you come to her place. Besides, who are the people in the gu family? They were all robots, with high intelligence and high speed. Even making friends had to look up. You didn''t fight for it. What''s the difference when you went there to follow up?!"


    Gu mohan raised his eyebrows. Although he was not satisfied with the adjective that jian mengqi used, the central idea was still accurate, so he did not refute it.


    However, the idiom "Retreat when faced with difficulties" was definitely not suitable for ye zhiqiao. In her dictionary, there was no word for giving up. She did not do it because she did not want to, but not because she was afraid to retreat. Moreover, what gu mother said at that time really touched her.


    Although it was unreasonable for her father and mother to firmly oppose her relationship with gu mohan because of her family background, she also knew in her heart that the majority of people chose to be well-matched in the secular concept, so if possible, she was willing to use her own efforts to close the distance between her and gu mohan.


    After thinking for a while, she said firmly with her eyes, "I understand your good intentions, but I want to go. If we can get closer to Mohan in this way, we can get the approval of our aunts and uncles. It doesn''t matter if we suffer a little."


    "You... Really thought about it?" Jian mengqi confirmed.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "I''ve thought about it."


    Gu mohan and jian mengqi were close relatives of ye zhiqiao, so naturally they were willing to respect her choice, so after that, neither of them tried to persuade her.


    Ye zhiqiao was very happy that they supported her, but there was one thing she was worried about: "Mengqi, I promised to take care of the studio with you, but if I go to work at gu''s, I might have to..."


    "Oh, I understand!" Before she could finish, jian mengqi waved her hand and said, "Don''t worry about the studio. I was in charge of the studio when you were managing mengxing group. Don''t worry, I''m fine."


    "Thank you, mengqi."


    Ye zhi coincidentally went over and hugged jian mengqi, inexplicably touched. Perhaps it was because she had experienced countless hardships and hardships over the years, and jian mengqi had been standing behind her all the time. When her backer gave her courage and support, she did not know how to thank her, but hugged her tightly.


    "All right, all right..." Jian mengqi patted her on the shoulder and tilted her head helplessly, "Leave me a way to live. Big master gu''s eyes are about to cut. I''m so scared."


    The warm situation was instantly broken by her words, and ye zhiqiao "Poof" laughed out, blaming her for not doing the right thing.


    Jian mengqi stuck out her tongue mischievously, took her bag and stood up, "I have to go to the studio this afternoon. I will retire and leave you alone. Otherwise, Qin Baiye will say that I have no vision."


    Gu mohan curled his lips and agreed, "You know yourself."


    Jian mengqi looked at him like a giant sanitary ball, then patted ye zhiqiao''s side face affectionately, turned her head and left.


    After jian mengqi left, all the servants left the living room. Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were the only two people left in the big living room.


    During ye zhiqiao''s stay in the hospital, people visited her from time to time. Speaking of this, gu mohan had not been alone with her for a long time. During this rare afternoon, gu mohan naturally clung to ye zhiqiao''s side, hugging and hugging her began to take advantage of her.


    "Oh, come on... Gu mohan..." Ye zhi happened to be tickled by his kiss and pushed him away by holding his head. She straightened her wrinkled clothes and said, "I have something to tell you."


    Boss gu mohan frowned unhappily and asked in a drawn-out voice, "Can we talk about anything other than our relationship now?"


    Ye zhiqiao exhaled helplessly and nodded solemnly."


    Gu mohan reached out and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and asked, "Do I look so weak? Do I have to hide in the company?"


    "That''s not what I meant. I just think that you and your parents are very tough, and some conflicts can''t be reconciled. The more we discuss, the more it might intensify. Besides, they are your parents. In the end, you must bear with them. Since that''s the case, you can bear less grievances."


    These words came out of ye zhiqiao''s mouth word by word. After her clear and soft voice was embellished, and then broke into gu mohan''s ears, he felt that the most melodious music in the world could not match ye zhiqiao''s words at this time.


    He couldn''t help but raise his hand and pinch ye zhiqiao''s delicate little nose. His tone also became gentle, with an imperceptible joy, "Okay, I''ll listen to you. It''s a bit scary to think about it. It''s better to be by your side and let you protect me."


    "The more you talk, the less proper you become!" Ye zhiqiao slapped off his disorderly hand and a faint smile crept up the corner of her mouth.


    "Oh right..." Gu mohan suddenly remembered something and sat up straight and said to ye zhiqiao, "I don''t know what position my mother has arranged for you. Why don''t you come and be my secretary? There''s a cubicle in my office that hasn''t been used. I asked them to clean it up for you. How about that?"


    Ye zhiqiao also happened to want to talk to him about this matter, so she said seriously, "I am not your secretary, your mother arranged for me to work in the sales department, I can go directly, you are absolutely not allowed to give me the back door."


    "Ah? Why? As the president''s girlfriend, would it be appropriate for you not to go through the back door?" Gu mohan said jokingly, winking.


    Unexpectedly, after listening to him finish this sentence, ye zhiqiao immediately added, "Also, our relationship must be kept secret, absolutely not let others know."


    "Why?!" Mohan was so excited that he jumped off the sofa.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, remained calm and explained calmly, "Because I don''t want to be special. Since I''ve decided to start from the bottom, I have to be like every newcomer in the workplace. I hope you can respect me."


    "...


    Respect, respect, she said so. Is there any room for gu mohan to resist?

 Chapter 314 Reporting a Distress

    The white car slowly stopped at the busiest part of the city, and the sound of dragging brakes seemed to show how reluctant the owner of the car was at the moment.


    However, the woman in the passenger seat unfastened her seat belt with a smile on her face and turned to say goodbye, "Then I''ll get out of the car first. You should hurry over."


    Gu mohan frowned discontentedly and muttered, "Just a little further ahead. There''s a bus stop 500 meters away. I''ll put you down there and you can walk less."


    Ye zhi coincidentally rubbed his hair with a stifled smile and refused, "No, there are too many people passing by there. Your car is too conspicuous and will be recognized."


    "Then I''ll change the car next time!" Gu mohan was still struggling.


    Ye zhiqiao helplessly tilted her head. She looked around and stepped out of the car. She waved at gu mohan, who was full of resentment, and then strode towards the gu building.


    Early monday morning, the scene was full of vitality. Most of the people who went to the gu''s building were in a hurry. Only ye zhiqiao walked steadily and unhurriedly.


    But even though she was calm on the surface, it was impossible not to be nervous. Ye zhiqiao was discovered early in her design and interviewed more people than she did. Moreover, the company in front of her was still her boyfriend''s home. This feeling... Hmm... Was very similar to the first time she met her future mother-in-law.


    Although she did not leave any good memories when she met her parents.


    Standing in front of the company building, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before pushing the door and entering.


    The girls at the front desk were dressed much more elegantly than the average company, and they could tell the whole level of the company at first glance. Seeing ye zhiqiao coming over, the girl nodded at her with a professional smile and asked politely, "Hello, may I help you?"


    The girl was very good at looking at people''s faces. Usually, the guests who came to gu''s head office to discuss cooperation would make an appointment in advance, and there would be special people to meet with any senior management. If they came at the last moment, most of them would come to the front desk to ask, and the front desk would have to communicate with each other. She asked if ye zhiqiao needed help, obviously to see that she was not here to talk about cooperation.


    Ye zhiqiao was not. She was here to report.


    "Hello, what floor is the sales manager''s office on? I''m going to report there."


    The girl nodded and made a gesture in the direction of the elevator. She replied, "The sales department is on the eighth floor of the company. You can take this elevator up. The manager''s office is in the staff''s office. You can see it inside."


    "Okay, thank you." Ye zhiqiao smiled and thanked her. She was about to walk towards the elevator when a woman suddenly walked towards her.


    The woman greeted the front desk and then said to ye zhiqiao, "Are you new to the sales department? Follow me. Your manager asked me to take you there."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and looked at her confusedly.


    The girl at the front desk explained, "This sister is the company''s receptionist. Just follow her."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao agreed and followed the woman to the elevator.


    Just then, an elevator came down. Ye zhiqiao reached out to press the button, but the woman stopped her, "No, follow me."


    Ye zhiqiao asked in puzzlement, "Aren''t we going to the eighth floor?"


    The woman answered as she walked around the corner on the first floor, "It''s the eighth floor, but your manager asked you to bring something up. Come with me to the storeroom first."


    "What do you want?" The woman walked briskly in seven or eight centimeters heels, and ye zhiqiao had to trot to keep up.


    The woman turned around and glanced at her without answering.


    As a newcomer, ye zhi coincidentally didn''t understand many of the rules in the company, so she had to shut her mouth and quietly follow her.


    The storeroom was on the far side of the first floor, and the entrance was not very spacious. The dilapidated iron door did not fit in with the modern office space, and it was a little dark at 8 am in summer.


    As the woman opened the door, ye zhiqiao poked her head and looked inside, but she could only see a long passageway. There were many things in it. At the end of the passageway, there was a window less than one square meter. There seemed to be an iron fence on it, and there were shadows in the middle of the light.


    "Come in."


    The woman''s sudden voice startled ye zhiqiao, who was still in a daze. When she realized it, she quickly stepped into the room.


    "Sister..." Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what she called her, so she called her sister obediently, "Is this storeroom still in use? Why does it smell like mold?"


    Ye zhiqiao was inside and the woman was outside. The moment they looked at each other, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt something was wrong.


    Before she could ask, the woman had quickly closed the iron door. With a "Click" sound, the room suddenly became darker.


    Ye zhiqiao was startled and jumped on the door and shouted, "Sister?! Sister! What are you doing? Why are you keeping me here?! Let me out!! Help!!!"


    She screamed and screamed for a long time. During that time, she tried to hit the iron door with her hands and hit it with a hard object, but it didn''t work. It was impossible for her to break through the iron door by herself, and she gradually recalled that she had never met anyone on the way over. That was to say, there was no one working around the "Warehouse" and no one would pass by. No one would hear her even if she broke her throat.


    As time went on, the dark and unfamiliar environment gradually deepened the destruction of her will. She kept talking to herself and told herself to calm down. This was just a way for others to deal with her. Perhaps this was only the first time. In the future, there will be more such situations, even more sinister than now. Since she decided to accept the test, she must be strong!


    She clenched her fists and looked around with wide eyes, hoping to find an escape route.


    Sure enough, there was no lack of effort. When she calmed down to observe the iron gate again, she found a few centimeters gap on the side of the iron gate with the iron bolt. Her hand must not be able to reach it, but with the help of tools, she should be able to open the iron bolt.


    This discovery was a great surprise to her because she was in a warehouse, or an abandoned warehouse, with iron nails and wires.


    After rummaging around on a dusty shelf, she immediately found a nail of the right length and size.


    She stuck the nail out along the gap by the door and slid it on the latch, feeling the time passing by, until her palm was covered with a layer of sticky sea water. Finally...


    The bolt is open!

 Chapter 315 Two New Employees

    When ye zhiqiao ran out of the warehouse, she could not find the female receptionist, and it was past the company''s reporting time, so she had to run all the way to the eighth floor.


    The sales department was in the middle of the eighth floor, almost covering the entire floor. Most of the decoration was glass partitioned, so the whole space looked very spacious and bright, and the view was very wide. Ye zhiqiao saw the door sign that said "Sales department" at a glance.


    The glass door was open, and the staff inside were busy. After thinking about it, ye zhi decided not to disturb their work and went straight to the manager''s office.


    She rearranged her clothes and hair, took a deep breath and stepped in, but when one foot stepped on the marble floor, it actually slid forward, and the other foot did not have time to fall, when her center of gravity was unstable, her entire figure shook, her body leaned back, and sat on the ground!


    "Yah-"


    She screamed in shock, her heart pounding like it was about to burst out of her chest.


    All the staff around her were attracted by the noise coming from her. She was very embarrassed and was about to apologize when she suddenly heard a small chuckle.


    She was startled and looked around in a daze, only to see that the faces of every onlooker were smiling, and the laughter in the crowd was getting louder and louder.


    Not just who was the first to say, "Ouch!"


    Our new colleague is so polite on the first day! "


    After that, the others followed suit, "It''s really polite, but the image is too funny. I almost fell on a dog... Hahaha..."


    "She''s probably a newbie in the workplace. Looking at her expression, she''s not smart at first sight. What kind of work can she do?!"


    Their mockery became more and more undisguised. From metaphorical sarcasm to personal attacks, ye zhiqiao didn''t know if every new employee would be "Tricked," but when she first came here, she didn''t want to cause trouble, so she calmed down and slowly got up from the ground.


    The reason for her slow movements was not because she fell too hard and was injured, but because the ground was still slippery, and if she was not careful, she would probably fall again.


    When she got up, she found a small piece of clear oil at the door. She knew that she had fallen because of something that she couldn''t tell from a close look. So she carefully walked out of the door and went to the bathroom that she had just passed. She took a mop from inside and wiped the floor clean. Then she washed her hands and walked into the sales department''s office again.


    As for where the oil came from, she did not want to ask, just as she had just been locked in the warehouse, there was no need to ask, because even if she asked, she could not find the answer.


    This time, after she entered the office, everyone turned their eyes to her, but she did not look at anyone and walked straight to the manager''s room on the inside of the office.


    There were three knocks on the door and a lazy "Come in."


    Ye zhiqiao walked in, turned around and closed the door, then stood in front of the desk, glanced at the name tag on the table without any trace, smiled and nodded, "Hello, manager li, I am ye zhiqiao who came to report on the appointment today, and now the time..."


    Just as she was about to say that it was a little late, manager li, who was sitting on the leather office chair opposite her, frowned and scolded with disgust, "Did you know you were late? How much work do I have to do in a day, and you let me wait for you here all the time.!"


    Ye zhiqiao was startled by his "Loud" voice and quickly explained, "I''m sorry manager li, I''m really sorry. I was... Delayed on the way here because of some accidents. I''m really sorry for causing you trouble. I won''t do it next time."


    "Next time?" Manager li slapped the table loudly, "Next time?! There''s no chance! You''re late for my first day, and you''ll be late again? How am I going to manage my men when I let you stay?"


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry... Just give me one more chance, and I promise to work hard to make up for today''s mistakes." Ye zhiqiao continued to fight.


    Although it was a taboo for her to be late for work on her first day, and almost no company could accept it, the usual way to deal with it was to reprimand her and punish her. There were very few cases of firing her directly for such a thing.


    However, the manager li, who was over forty years old with a head of mediterranean sea, seemed to despise ye zhiqiao. He bit her to death and insisted on firing her, "It''s no use. You leave now and leave the company immediately. We, gu family, will never hire an irresponsible person like you!"


    "Manager li, you..."


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    There was another unhurried knock on the door. Ye zhiqiao and manager li turned their heads together. Before manager li could answer, the door had been pushed open and a woman wearing a new limited edition dress from an internationally renowned brand entered slowly.


    "Sorry, I didn''t hear the answer. I thought there was no one inside, so I came straight in." The woman opened her lips and said sorry, but there was no apology in her expression. She raised her chin slightly and lowered her eyes as she looked at her, feeling rather superior.


    Ye zhiqiao thought to herself: she came even later than I did. Before manager li could speak, she rushed in. Manager li might scold her and probably fire her, but he fired both newbies at once.


    Just as ye zhiqiao was wondering if she should say something nice to the woman, manager li had quickly stood up from his chair and offered to shake her hand.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the two of them in a daze and shook hands. Then she heard manager li ask with a smile, "Ruonan, why are you here so early? Didn''t you say you could come back in the afternoon? I heard you just came back from abroad, and it''s hard to get jet lag."


    Li Ruonan glanced at ye zhiqiao from the corner of his eye and said to manager li, "It''s okay. Adjust your biological clock according to your work needs. This is the first skill I learned when studying abroad."


    "Ah! Right, right, you''re saying that people who have studied in higher education institutions are different. If the mob under me had half of your awareness, my department would have been ahead of you by a long time."


    Manager li was not stingy with compliments, and his expression was so high that even a few precious strands of hair on his head trembled.


    Li Ruonan seemed to be used to flattery and did not respond to his words in any way. Instead, he was interested in ye zhiqiao, who was standing quietly.


    "This is..." She looked at ye zhiqiao and asked in a questioning tone.


    Manager li glared at ye zhiqiao angrily, "New guy!"

 Chapter 316 Flattery and Isolation

    Then, in two minutes, manager li introduced ye zhiqiao''s tardiness in a disdainful tone, emphasizing that her irresponsible behavior would bring great losses to the company, and once again emphasized that she should leave the company immediately and disappear from his sight.


    Previously, there were only two people present, and ye zhiqiao could lower herself to ask for forgiveness, but now there was another Li Ruonan who was obviously favored by manager li. She felt that the possibility of her request succeeding was almost zero, so she prepared to keep silent and thought that if it really didn''t work, she would obediently leave.


    But when she had given up hope, Li Ruonan, who had heard the whole process, suddenly pleaded for her, "Manager li, she''s new, and I''m new too. Since it''s fate to report to the company on the same day, why don''t you let her go this time for my sake?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her in surprise, trying to see why she did this from her face.


    Manager li was equally surprised, but after a while, he readily agreed, "Well, since Ruonan said so, I''ll give her another chance."


    There was no difference in the nature of whether ye zhiqiao was going or staying, but Li Ruonan, who had returned from studying abroad with great professional development potential, was the one he had to curry favor with. So why not sell her this favor, which was not important to him, and get in touch with her?


    Ye zhiqiao looked back and forth between the two people who were still indifferent to each other. She was very confused as to why it was so easy to make a decision in a casual conversation about the career of a new employee.


    But no matter what, she was grateful to Li Ruonan.


    Manager li finished sucking up to Li Ruonan at this time, turned his head to face ye zhiqiao and immediately changed his cold face. He said in a very angry voice, "All right, thank Ruonan well. It''s because of her face that you have a chance to change!"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what else she could say to this boss who had no fair and just attitude, so she nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I understand."


    Her attitude was modest, but manager li still didn''t like her and refused to let her off the hook, so he continued, "Also, don''t think it''s okay to stay. You have to be punished for being late. Otherwise, if you don''t have a long memory, it will bring bad effects to other employees."


    The fat body squeezed into the office chair again. Manager li tapped on the computer a few times, then said, "Go back and write a check immediately. The number of words can''t be too small. You must be sincere, and then... Deduct your salary for half a month as a fine. Hmph, if you do it again, you''ll have to deduct more!"


    Ye zhiqiao still nodded. She accepted all the "Unfair clauses" and was lucky to stay. She did not insist on anything else.


    Walking out of the manager''s office with Li Ruonan, the eyes of the colleagues gathered again. Ye zhiqiao generously turned to Li Ruonan and said, "Thank you, Ruonan."


    "Thank me for what?" Li ruonan turned her head and asked, not salty or light.


    "Thank you for pleading for me. If you weren''t here today, I would have lost my job." Ye zhiqiao said sincerely, "Now that we have become colleagues, we should take care of each other in the future."


    Li Ruonan finally turned around this time and looked at her with an expressionless face. Then he laughed with a sneer and said slowly with a sarcastic smile, "Who is your colleague? Who wants to take care of each other? Ye..."


    She tilted her head to recall for a moment and continued, "Your name is ye zhiqiao, right? Ye zhiqiao, I did help you, but it was just a small favor for me. Remember, you and I are not on the same level at all. There are a lot of people who want to curry favor with me. You''d better have some self-awareness. Don''t get too close."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned. She never expected that her polite thanks would lead to such speculation. And although Li Ruonan gave her the feeling that she was a little overbearing, she never expected such a sarcastic comment.


    However, the other party said so, she did not need to continue to make a good impression: "I think you may have misunderstood, I am simply grateful for your help, as to what purpose you are helping me without the right to interfere, I really want to make friends with you, but you have the right to choose."


    Ye zhiqiao''s few words were neither humble nor haughty. Among the people Li Ruonan had met since she was a child, there were very few people like ye zhiqiao. It was even rarer to directly argue with her in front of many colleagues.


    Li Ruonan immediately pricked up all the sharp thorns in her body, and the elegant image that she tried to maintain disappeared. She glared at ye zhiqiao with hatred and said with a frown, "Then let me tell you, I don''t want to be friends with you, because you don''t deserve it!"


    There was no need to continue the conversation. Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "Then I have to go write a check." Then he turned around and walked towards his desk.


    Li Ruonan was still standing there, his teeth itching with anger. A group of colleagues who were watching the show had already come from all directions.


    Li Ruonan''s education and experience had already spread throughout the gu family. Everyone could see that Li Ruonan''s position as an ordinary employee in the sales department was only temporary and would definitely be promoted step by step in the future, so they all wanted to take advantage of her time to establish a good relationship, so as to pave the way for their future.


    Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao had a few words of conversation just now, and the colleagues heard it clearly. Now naturally, they should stand by Li Ruonan and help her to defeat ye zhiqiao to show their loyalty.


    An exquisitely dressed woman in her thirties was the first to speak. She rolled her eyes in the direction of ye zhiqiao and said, "Gee, you almost got fired on your first day here. Why are you so arrogant? You''re obviously trying to curry favor with Ruonan and not admit it. You can really pretend!"


    "That''s right. She must be jealous." The girl with a pair of round glasses echoed.


    Starting with the two of them, the rest of the colleagues began to denounce ye zhiqiao, complain about Li Ruonan''s grievances and flatter him.


    Li Ruonan was used to this kind of scene, but because ye zhiqiao was in the past, she enjoyed this feeling very much now, so she rarely showed a smiling face, looked around at the colleagues around her, and said in a warm voice, "I''m really happy that everyone can stand on my side. I like people who are witty, and it''s interesting to be friends with people like that, so as long as everyone is away from that blind woman, Then we''ll be friends from now on."


    Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there is no reason why people should not, for a moment they are fighting for a vote.

 Chapter 317 Restaurant Disturbance

    During lunch time, ye zhi finished the inspection of thousands of words in a hurry and followed her colleagues to the staff restaurant. The head office of the gu group was very large, and the canteen was divided into several sections. Most of the sales staff would go to the nearest one, and ye zhiqiao followed.


    The restaurant as a whole was modern and minimalistic, and the cold tone seemed to complement the company''s simplicity and efficiency.


    Lunch was divided into two types: buffet and window, all of which were provided free of charge. Ye zhiqiao looked around the self-service area and saw that it was all cold and seafood, so she decided to go to the window to get some food and hot soup.


    After waiting in line for a few minutes, ye zhi walked towards the dining area with her plate in her hand. There was a small amount of white rice, tomato fried eggs and celery stir-fried meat on the iron plate. There was also a bowl of seafood soup in front of her left. It was probably too late to pick up the meal.


    However, ye zhiqiao was very satisfied. Compared to her busy designing and often eating cold bento, two fresh dishes and one soup were already very good.


    There was a single seat a few meters ahead, and ye zhi was about to walk over, but suddenly there was a violent crash on her side!!!


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised and subconsciously picked up the plate to protect the food. Unexpectedly, the bowl of seafood soup, which was much higher than the plate, staggered to one side and flipped over.


    Then came a scream.


    "Ouch!!" The female colleague bounced her feet and patted her cheek, which was covered in orange soup, a thin kelp sticking to her ear, and a shrimp lying on her collar.


    Although the temperature of the soup was not high, it was definitely not good to be splashed by a bowl of delicious and rich seafood soup. Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help grinning and quickly took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it over.


    "Get out of here!" After noticing ye zhiqiao''s actions, the female colleague scolded directly, "You don''t have eyes? Why are you messing around with a bowl of broken soup?! What''s the use of pretending to be the one who smelled like a fish?!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the soup bowl on the ground and then at the tissue in her hand. After a while, she slowly put down her hand.


    She was going to apologize, but now she felt that there was no need to apologize.


    In fact, when she walked over just now, she noticed that the female colleague had just finished her meal and got up to leave, so she purposely took a few steps to the left to avoid blocking the other party''s path, but after they had missed it, her body was hit violently. At that time, there was only one female colleague around her, so the reason could be imagined.


    But even though she knew that her female colleague might have done it on purpose, she was still prepared to apologize. After all, she had dirtied someone''s clothes, so she could apologize and compensate. However, the attitude of the female colleagues made her very surprised and dissatisfied. The thief called for the thief to catch the thief and beat him up.


    The female colleague angrily brushed off the soup on her face and clothes. Seeing that ye zhiqiao was standing in the same place without speaking or understanding, she was furious and asked sternly, "Are you mute? Wouldn''t you apologize for spilling soup all over your body? Or, are you afraid that I''ll make you pay?! To tell you the truth, I need four figures for this dress, and you can''t afford to pay for it, but you have to give me this apology!!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s calm expression was in stark contrast to her female colleague''s. She said faintly, "It''s okay to apologize, but you have to change your attitude. It''s impossible for me to apologize under verbal insults."


    "What did you say?!" The female colleague stared speechlessly at the crowd and said, "Did you see that? She splashed all over the other person without even a word of apology and said that I insulted her. If you''re afraid of being insulted, don''t come out. If you stay at home and be a big lady, no one will insult you, but do you have that life?!"


    She sneered and said to ye zhiqiao sarcastically, "Don''t look at yourself in the mirror. What is it?"


    Just as the two of them were at a standstill over their apology, two flashes of light suddenly appeared in the female colleague''s eyes. Ye zhiqiao followed her gaze and saw Li Ruonan walking towards them with the support of several people.


    As if she had found a savior, the female colleague ran up to Li Ruonan and pointed at ye zhiqiao and complained to her, "Ruonan, look at ye zhiqiao. She poured a disgusting bowl of soup all over me and didn''t apologize to me. Do you think that makes sense?!"


    Ye zhi coincidentally looked at Li Ruonan, curious about her reaction.


    Li Ruonan smiled and said indifferently, "If you don''t want to apologize, then you won''t. What''s the matter?"


    It was the same feeling as pleading for ye zhiqiao in the manager''s office. On the surface, he was doing a good deed for a good person, but in reality, he stepped on everyone under his feet and despised everything.


    The female colleague naturally refused to give up and pursed her lips, "Ruonan, we all know that you are kind-hearted, so we plead for this woman. But let me say, this kind of person doesn''t deserve to stay in the gu family at all! And Ruonan, don''t you find it disgusting to be with her day and night?"


    "Hehe..." Li Ruonan raised his hand to cover his mouth and laughed, deliberately rolling his eyes at his female colleague and complaining, "You love to tell the truth!"


    Seeing this, the female colleague felt that victory was in sight. She hurriedly said, "But I can''t lose in vain this time. She really hates it."


    Li Ruonan still had a smile on his face. He glanced at ye zhiqiao lightly, then patted his female colleague on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. She has no upbringing. Why do you have to be like her? Can you return it after being bitten by a dog? This time, it''s a loss. Next time, you''ll have a long memory. When a dog walks around and people ignore it, the dog won''t bite you."


    With Li Ruonan''s last words, the female colleagues and the onlookers around couldn''t help but laugh out loud. Their eyes turned from unfriendliness and hostility to ridicule and contempt, full of insult.


    No matter how good ye zhiqiao''s attitude was, she felt unbearable under such circumstances.


    Is this a noble talent from a high school who bullies people on his own? In ye zhiqiao''s opinion, she was not even as polite and respectful as the five-year-old little treasure!


    Ever since she entered the gu family gate early in the morning, ye zhiqiao had experienced all kinds of set-ups and difficulties. All the negative emotions had finally exploded at the moment when everyone was pointing and laughing at her. Her eyes were dyed with anger, like a raging fire.


    "If someone bumped into me on purpose and I don''t want to apologize after insulting you... I''m a dog, then you who helped that person bully... What is it?"

 Chapter 318 Sales Competition

    As soon as ye zhiqiao''s voice fell, the dining room quieted down. Everyone stared at her in astonishment, and the air seemed to freeze.


    She and Li Ruonan did not give in to each other, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in their eyes, while Li Ruonan''s eyes were not only unwilling and angry to be challenged, but also with a trace of surprise.


    From the first time he saw ye zhiqiao in the manager''s office, Li Ruonan subconsciously thought that ye zhiqiao was a humble, poor woman who had never seen the world, because before she entered the room, she had heard the conversation between the two clearly. In manager li''s unreasonable accusation, ye zhiqiao had no courage to argue for herself. This forbearance was seen by Li Ruonan, who had always been presumptuous. It was simply cowardice and incompetence!


    And for the weak and incompetent, she naturally did not need respect.


    "Do you dare to repeat what you just said?" Li Ruonan asked with gritted teeth.


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled, because her angry voice unconsciously raised a little, "I don''t need to repeat those meaningless words, and I believe you have heard them clearly, but if you still want to continue the debate, I am willing to continue to accompany you."


    When ye zhiqiao was in college, she was a good leader of the school debate club, and today''s events were completely justified, so if it was a verbal debate, neither Li Ruonan was a match.


    Li Ruonan also knew this, so he immediately chose to give up and switch to another way.


    She looked at the female colleagues and the colleagues who had come with her, and with a smile on her lips, she called out, "Have you all seen it clearly? I wanted to reconcile the two quarreling colleagues, but this miss ye didn''t seem to appreciate it and vented her anger on me. If everyone feels unfair for me, then please ask miss ye for me. What... Is her reason for doing this?"


    Li Ruonan was like the leader of the pack, echoing the crowd. As soon as her voice fell, ye zhiqiao was surrounded by questions, sarcasm, sarcasm and insults.


    ...


    If it was one person, ye zhiqiao could easily deal with it, but if the opponent turned into two people, three people, or even a group of people, she was not zhuge kongming who could argue with the crowd, naturally unable to resist.


    Li Ruonan saw that ye zhiqiao had gradually lost her voice and raised her hand to stop the crowd. Then she lifted her arms and raised her head to ye zhiqiao and said, "Now do you understand how weak you are? Are you still arguing with me? Heh - look at you. Even if you''re my servant, I have to think about it!"


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips tightly and her eyes were angry, "How can you be so proud to bully others with more?"


    "Of course not." Li Ruonan wagged his index finger a few times and said with a smirk, "I''m proud of my good connections. On the first day of my new arrival, everyone is willing to make friends with me. Unlike you, you are like a snake and a scorpio."


    She sneered and turned to leave. "I really don''t know how such a person got into the gu family. He''s not as good as anyone else. He doesn''t seem to have any advantages other than a face that he can see through, does he?" Hm?"


    The ambiguous tone of the question, the people around looked at ye zhiqiao''s eyes instantly became ambiguous, and there were also a few snickers.


    "Stop!"


    Ye zhiqiao ignored all the noise around her and quickly walked up to Li Ruonan and said to her, "There are many reasons for making friends. It''s too hasty to say that I''m not as good as you just because of this. If you really think you''re better than me, then we''ll make a challenge now. You won, and you''re qualified to say those words. But if you lose, you have to take them all back and apologize to me!"


    Li Ruonan exhaled impatiently, rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sick? My mouth is on me. I can say whatever I want. Can I care about you?! Besides, why should I challenge you? I''m already strong, and it''s obvious to everyone."


    As Li Ruonan spoke, ye zhiqiao looked at her closely. It was obvious that Li Ruonan refused not because she was afraid, but because she was too confident and arrogant. She really felt that ye zhiqiao could not compare with her, so she disdained to accept the challenge.


    But ye zhiqiao was now angry, and she also understood that if she and Li Ruonan did not have a decision, then the future work will not be calm, so taking this opportunity today, she must let Li Ruonan see her ability.


    "Tsh-" ye zhiqiao deliberately chuckled and said excitedly, "You don''t dare, do you? Don''t say those useless things. Just answer me and I won''t dare. Don''t worry, I won''t force you."


    Sure enough, with just one sentence, Li Ruonan immediately felt his sense of superiority hurt, and immediately raised his eyelids and said, "Who said I didn''t dare?! What are you talking to me like that?!"


    "So you agreed?" Ye zhiqiao took the opportunity to continue asking.


    Li Ruonan stamped his foot, "Yes, I will!"


    Ye zhiqiao was secretly happy in her heart, but she said calmly on the surface, "Well, let''s make an agreement on the content and time of the competition now, and then..."


    "Compared to selling the products of the company''s new project, the time will be from now till the end of the day!" Before ye zhiqiao could finish speaking, Li Ruonan had already made a decision and added, "And that chip you just made is too boring. Let''s make a new decision now. The loser has to work for the winner for a week, no matter what."


    Hearing Li Ruonan''s arrangement, ye zhiqiao felt that it was not very fair, because first of all, from the aspect of selling the products, the company''s new project was the barbie clothing that cooperated with the toy company. The high price barbie doll ordinary customers would not choose, if there was no way, the possibility of selling it in an afternoon was almost zero.


    Li Ruonan, on the other hand, was different from her. In addition to her outstanding resume and background, Li Ruonan''s connections were all upper-class people. It was not a problem for them to buy a few dolls.


    The second is the bargaining chip. Working for the other party is beyond the scope of their conflict. Ye zhiqiao suggested that the competition was to solve the conflict, not to intensify the conflict, but Li Ruonan''s approach was contrary to her original intention.


    Ye zhi happened to be in a trance for too long. Li Ruonan waited impatiently and said sarcastically, "What''s wrong? Regret? I''m telling you, there are so many people here watching. Even if you admit defeat now, you have to work for me for a week!"


    Li Ruonan''s words were like pushing ye zhiqiao to the corner. There was no way out. It was useless to say anything. She had to accept this match.


    In this case, ye zhiqiao also put all her concerns behind her and decided to fight against the water.

 Chapter 319 The Defeat Was Settled

    "Hello, auntie, would you like to take a look at this barbie doll, which is issued by a famous foreign brand. The doll''s clothes are made by gu group. She... Auntie?!"


    The aunt who was pushing the children''s car waved her hand and walked away. Ye zhi coincidentally held the barbie box and walked to another young mother with the child.


    "Hello, may I introduce this Bobbi? Her material is hard plastic resin, safer than some of Bobbi''s on the market, and her clothes are from the gu group. High-quality fabrics are handmade..."


    Ye zhiqiao said a long string of words, and the young mother finally stopped, took the box and squatted down to ask the child, "Does the baby like this? Can mom buy it for you?"


    The little girl was about five or six years old and looked about the same age as little treasure. She liked beautiful toys. She looked into the doll''s eyes and nodded hard for a long time.


    The young mother smiled helplessly and stood up to ask ye zhiqiao, "How much is this?"


    "Now is the new product discount period, you can give 10 % off and give independent clothing..." Ye zhiqiao excitedly explained, then handed over the price tag of the product, and continued, "The total is 1,700 yuan."


    "What?!"


    After hearing the price, the young mother widened her eyes in shock and immediately stuffed the box back into ye zhiqiao''s arms, as if afraid that she would be forced to buy it if she returned it late, "Why is a toy so expensive? It''s not just transformers or something that can transform. Just change a few sets of clothes. Who would spend more than a thousand dollars to buy them?"


    After that, before ye zhiqiao could answer, the young mother walked in the same direction without looking back.


    Ye zhiqiao stared blankly at the back of the woman and the little girl for a long time, sighed with disappointment, and looked down at the "Precious" barbie doll in her arms.


    In fact, she did not understand why these well-made barbies had to be put into production in large quantities, and there was no market for them among the middle-income and lower-income people. It had been two hours since she came out of the company, and she hadn''t sold a single product. Most people had already waved their hands and refused before she started introducing. The few people who were willing to listen to her introduction and were interested in the product were all like young mothers just now after hearing the price. First, they were surprised, then they curled their mouths and returned the product.


    Ye zhiqiao stood on the side of the road and looked back and forth to the business street on both sides, trying to meet another person with a child. It was two hours before it was time to go back to the company to compare the results. According to the current progress, she had to lose.


    "Miss, can you show me this Bobbi?" A gentle male voice suddenly came from behind.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly turned her head and saw a man in his thirties, wearing casual clothes and baseball cap, looking at her with a faint smile.


    A cursory glance, with ye zhiqiao''s professional eyes, could basically confirm that the market price of this ordinary man''s outfit would not be lower than five figures. It was all designer''s work, unique style, and fine materials.


    It''s just that such a "Successful person" at around 30 years of age is likely not to get married and have children.


    Before she could talk, ye zhiqiao was already feeling a little agitated, but since the other party had taken the initiative to ask, there must be a reason, she mustered up her energy again and made a spirited introduction to the other party.


    "Hello, sir. This product is issued by a foreign company and is manufactured by the most famous gu''s group in the city. It is also a limited edition Bobbi that has been tested and sold by the gu''s group. Her main material is safe and environmentally friendly. The costumes are designed by professional designers, and a few of them are smaller versions made according to well-known gowns. The details are also in accordance with the spirit of craftsmen, which can definitely ensure that they are exquisite and flawless."


    The man quietly listened to her, then took Bobbi over and looked him up. He smiled and said, "The production level is really good, but I just followed you for a long time and heard the price you said. For a toy, that price is not easy to accept."


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised that the man was following her, and she didn''t even notice it!


    However, the man in front of her looked well-dressed, elegant and extraordinary, definitely not related to the word "Bad guy," so ye zhiqiao stabilized her thoughts and patiently replied, "As a salesman, I also think that its price is much higher than ordinary toys on the market, but the extra price, every cent is definitely worth it. After you buy it, you can use the old clothes for life to replace the new clothes that the company has launched one after another. And gu group will add you as a vip customer of gu group. You can get discounts from any brand under gu group."


    "Vip? Luxury goods don''t get much discounts, and I don''t need them."


    The man''s words completely broke ye zhiqiao''s fantasy. From the beginning to the end, ye zhiqiao had already concluded that he would not buy the product.


    Although a little disappointed, but the defeat was inevitable. Seeing the man put down the product but did not leave, ye zhiqiao prepared to chat with him for a while.


    "Sir, may I take the liberty of asking a question? Is the sportswear you''re wearing a work by british designer van essa?"


    The man froze, then smiled in surprise and asked, "Do you know her? She''s a cold designer."


    "I heard about it when I was a student."


    Ye zhiqiao sat down on a bench on the side of the road at the invitation of the man and continued, "I happened to see her in a magazine at that time. It said that she was aloof, never worked with a clothing company or participated in the competition. She only focused on the production of her own brand, and there was only one piece of work. She didn''t hold a press conference or do any publicity, and directly sold it to customers who wanted to buy."


    Ye zhiqiao spoke with a strong yearning in her eyes. The man couldn''t help but ask, "Are you a fan of her?"


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and chuckled, "Fans aren''t that big, they just admire her persistence. It''s not easy for the designer industry to make a profit. Most designers try their best to make a name for themselves. They design crazily while they still have the brains to conceive. The more they sell, the less they think, the more they become famous. But van essa is different. From every piece of clothing, it''s easy to see her design philosophy and spiritual progress. Not everyone can do it for decades."


    "...


    Without a reply, ye zhiqiao retracted her gaze and turned to the man with an embarrassed smile. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I talk too much, don''t I?"

 Chapter 320 Tie Hands

    The man frowned and stared at her. After a long time, he finally shook his head and asked with a smile, "What exactly do you do? No matter what I think, I can''t associate you with an ordinary sales person. You''re very... Very much like a designer."


    Ye zhiqiao was not like a designer, she was a professional designer, but the explanation was too troublesome, so she said, "I really have a lot of affinity with design."


    "Haha..." The man laughed heartily and clapped his hands, "Well, what a fate. We met on the road today, which is also a fate between us. Your understanding of design is very unique, talented and thoughtful. You are a rare talent. I would like to work with you, or... The gu group in your name."


    "Cooperation?" Ye zhiqiao was confused by him and unconsciously tilted her head, "What cooperation? Do you want to buy this Bobbi?"


    The man raised his eyebrows and stood up, "Yes, but not the one in your hand. Let''s go. Take me to your company. My chain store is about to be renovated. If it''s suitable, I''ll be ordering from your company for a long time." !!!


    "What... What? Long-term order?!" Ye zhiqiao mechanically stood up, blinking and asking, "You... What exactly do you do? How could..."


    "Clothing, toys, daily necessities and so on."


    The man left such a sentence in ye zhiqiao''s incredulous eyes, then walked to the roadside and stopped a taxi, taking ye zhiqiao straight to the gu group building.


    At six o'' clock in the afternoon, the staff of all departments quickly packed up their things and signed out. Only the sales department on the eighth floor was still brightly lit.


    About the performance battle between Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao, everyone had been waiting for an entire afternoon. To be more specific, they had been waiting for an afternoon while playing.


    "Play" means that Li Ruonan left the company with everyone since the start of the competition. The restaurant, leisure hall, ktv... Were all entertained by her until it was almost time to announce the results before she returned in high spirits.


    Wait, wait to see ye zhiqiao''s joke. As soon as the competition was scheduled, Li Ruonan immediately called his close friends and negotiated a large order with them, so it was impossible for ye zhiqiao to compete with her performance no matter how hard she tried to sell on the street.


    Li Ruonan and the others sat in their seats, counting the time on their phones, waiting for ye zhiqiao to come back and make a fool of herself.


    Finally, the glass door was pushed open, reflecting a halo. Ye zhiqiao walked in slowly with a folder in her hand. Her face was calm, and she could not tell whether she was excited or disappointed.


    Li Ruonan had already curled her lips, and it seemed that the next step was more of a formality. She was sure of winning.


    "Miss ye is back. I wonder how many deals have you made in this hour and sold toys?" A female colleague sitting next to Li Ruonan asked first.


    "Didn''t you say that on purpose to embarrass people? You should ask how many are sold so that she can keep some face." A female colleague covered her mouth and complained.


    The rest of the colleagues laughed and said, "Ye zhiqiao will be Li Ruonan''s servant for the next week. It will be very nice."


    The whole office was noisy, and Li Ruonan looked at ye zhiqiao proudly in the background. After a long time, she did not raise her hand to signal the crowd to be quiet until she had enjoyed the "Feast" prepared for her alone.


    "Don''t say it. Ye zhiqiao is also a newcomer to the gu family. It may not be as miserable as you say. Maybe she really begged passers-by to sell her good performance!" Li Ruonan said with a disdainful smile.


    Then, she got up with her signing documents and opened them in front of ye zhiqiao. She said word by word, "This is my performance. Miss ye, what about yours?"


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at the order in her hand, which was easy to get, then withdrew her gaze and handed her her her folder.


    "Cut!" Li Ruonan snorted, tilted his shoulder and opened the folder.


    When she saw a contract in black and white, her face turned pale and then turned red.


    Her red and white face made the "Supporters" in the room feel very confused. They all stood up and came to her side. When they looked at the contract that was almost the same as her, or even better than her, they were shocked to the spot.


    None of them understood why ye zhiqiao, who was inexperienced and had no connections, could finalize such a large order in a few hours, not to mention ye zhiqiao''s impossibility, even the senior employees and industry elites between them could not possibly do it!


    At this time, Li Ruonan was ashamed, angry, and unwilling. She was speechless, so the others found fault with ye zhiqiao for her, "Where did you sign the contract? Are you trying to fool us with the stamps and signatures you always get?"


    "Yes, who can prove the authenticity of this contract?"


    "If you falsify the contract, you''re going to be fired, okay? Or are you trying to make Ruonan sick?"


    Ye zhiqiao could no longer raise a trace of anger at their unreasonable and confusing attitude. After a long afternoon of traveling outside, she was tired both physically and mentally. As she returned to her desk to pack her bag, she said faintly, "It''s true or false that the company can naturally prove that we have signed the contract. The performance competition is a tie. The stakes are invalid. In the future, we are still ordinary colleagues. It''s up to you whether you want to ease the tension or not."


    After that, she did not look at anyone else, including Li Ruonan, who kept her head down. Ye zhiqiao pushed the door open with her bag and left.


    After this dramatic day, ye zhiqiao thought that even though Li Ruonan and her colleagues still didn''t like her, she would at least control her behavior because she lost the competition, and her work environment would definitely be peaceful and stable in the future.


    That''s why she slept exceptionally well that night.


    The next morning, she set the alarm to arrive at the company an hour earlier, because if she wanted to stay at the company, things like yesterday would never happen again. Even if there were accidents, she had to set aside the time for them to happen.


    Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way until the office door, and everything was going on in a normal and orderly manner.


    She took a look at the floor outside the office, bright and clean without oil or water stains, then straightened her back and walked in slowly.

 Chapter 321 Cat and Mouse

    Eh?!


    After entering, she subconsciously looked around and realized that most of her colleagues were already seated. She raised her hand in surprise to look at her wristwatch to make sure that it was almost an hour before work.


    Perhaps the gu employees have always been strict about themselves and start work early. Ye zhiqiao found a more reasonable explanation and continued to walk back to her seat.


    Last night, the manager sent her the next task via email. It was not difficult and the time requirement was not strict, but she decided to start working from now on and finish the task ahead of time.


    Some of the information she needed for work was sent to the drawer yesterday, so she opened the drawer to get the information out, but -


    "Ah!!!"


    At 7: 30 in the morning, a shrill scream was heard above the sales department on the eighth floor of the gu group.


    Manager li, who was sleeping in the office, was so frightened that he almost fell off his comfortable office chair. He rubbed his eyes as he pushed open the door of the manager''s office and stormed out, shouting, "Who is it?! Are you going crazy?! Why not work early in the morning and have a good afternoon?!"


    As soon as she finished speaking, she saw ye zhiqiao standing beside the desk with a pale face, pointing to the half-opened drawer and trembling voice, "Old... Mouse... There are rats..."


    "Rats? And bats?!"


    Manager li walked over and opened the drawer completely.


    Yo! It''s not a dead rat half the size of a palm, with black fur and a long tail that doesn''t move!


    His big, fat hands shook and he took two steps to jump a little further. Then he frowned in disgust and asked, "Ye zhiqiao! What happened?! We don''t even allow pets in our company. Why did you get me one of these?!"


    "I... It''s not me..." Ye zhiqiao waved her hand and explained, "I didn''t do this. I saw it here the moment I came, and I was also shocked."


    Speaking of "Startled," manager li recalled that he almost fell off the office chair, and he was so angry that he ignored ye zhiqiao''s explanation and scolded, "If it''s not yours, it''s in your drawer too. Why doesn''t it go to someone else''s drawer? Pay attention to your personal hygiene and don''t attract such filth! Also, you are not allowed to shout in the office. These employee regulations are clearly written. Do you not understand them or do you not read them at all?!"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and wanted to argue for herself, "I saw it, but this mouse is a special case. Anyone who sees it will definitely..."


    "What would it be? Screaming like a madman?" Manager li: "Hmph" and asked in a very angry tone, "Then why didn''t I see it? And aren''t your colleagues here? If you don''t admit your mistake, it seems that yesterday''s punishment was lighter, right?!"


    "I..."


    "Shut up!" Manager li heaved a deep breath and stared at her angrily, "After work today, give me another check. Don''t let me hear your voice and see your people until then!"


    With that, manager li swung his hand and returned to the manager''s office, slamming the door.


    After a few seconds of silence in the office, a group of colleagues led by Li Ruonan gathered around ye zhiqiao and looked at her mockingly, as if they had expected this outcome.


    "Ouch, what a mouse! What a bad morning!" The female colleague purposely covered her mouth and pointed at ye zhiqiao with disgust.


    Li Ruonan sneered, "What are you afraid of? It was her, not you who was unlucky. But the phrase'' birds of a feather flock together'' is really true. Look, you can provoke anyone."


    Provoke?


    Heh - ye zhiqiao sneered in her heart. It was not certain whether she would provoke a mouse, but there must be a reason why a dead mouse appeared in the highest level office building in the city center.


    Ye zhiqiao already had an answer in her heart when she saw the expressions of the colleagues around her who were watching a good show and then contacted them to come to work as early as they had agreed.


    She lowered her eyes and smiled, "Yes, the mouse is not a good thing. The person who brought it here must not be a good thing."


    After saying this, Li Ruonan''s face froze, and the smile disappeared in an instant. Instead, he frowned and his eyes darkened.


    Ye zhiqiao guessed right. The idea of bringing the dead mouse over to scare people was indeed her idea. Although it was someone else who put the mouse, it was also doing things for her. Ye zhiqiao''s sarcasm was really appropriate to let her lift a stone and hit her foot.


    Seeing that Li Ruonan didn''t speak, the colleagues gradually quieted down. Ye zhiqiao was more sure of her guess, so she deliberately said, "Well, since there are dirty things in our office, then I''ll bring the cat over tomorrow and clean up these disgusting rats."


    As soon as this was said, the female colleagues immediately objected, "No! How dirty the cat is! It''s all fur. Besides, what if you jump on someone and scratch your clothes?"


    "Yes, and our company doesn''t allow pets. Didn''t you hear what the manager just said?!"


    The colleagues all agreed that ye zhiqiao was not allowed to bring the cat.


    In fact, ye zhiqiao already knew why the mouse came, and there was no need to insist on bringing the cat, but since everyone was planning to make her unhappy, she had to "Repay" something. It''s not her style to be dumb.


    "The company doesn''t allow pets and cats to be dirty. That''s why you object, right?" Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and asked.


    With everyone''s approval, ye zhiqiao continued, "Well, let''s start with the company regulations. The purpose of pets is to accompany and watch, but the cats I bring are used to catch mice, just like the salaried office workers, so they can''t be counted as pets."


    Second, after cleaning and vaccinating the cat, the harmful bacteria on the cat have been eliminated in large quantities. It is not necessarily dirtier than humans. And I think the dirtiest thing in the office right now should be rats. They might crawl out of the ground, walk around the bathroom, and then run to your seats, water glasses, or even makeup. That''s the dirtiest thing, right?"


    She spread her hands out and pretended to be helpless, "So, I''m bringing the cat over. Is there anything wrong?"


    "You... Cat... We..."


    Ye zhiqiao''s words caused colleagues, including Li Ruonan, to be tongue-tied, not knowing how to answer.

 Chapter 322 Gu Chengyans Help

    As the crowd gathered to debate the cat and mouse issue, the glass door of the office was unknowingly pushed open. A woman in professional attire walked in with a cup of coffee, then slowly approached ye zhiqiao.


    "Zhiqiao, have a cup of coffee." She walked through the crowd and stood beside ye zhiqiao, smiling.


    Hearing this familiar voice, ye zhiqiao immediately turned her head and opened her mouth wide in the instant she saw the person coming, her eyes full of surprise.


    She swallowed her saliva and looked up and down at gu chengyan in front of her, "You... Why are you... Why are you here?"


    Gu chengyan looked around with a smile and said, "I''ve been your assistant for a long time. When I heard that you left, I couldn''t bear to part with it. As you know, I was originally applying for the position of assistant in a branch of the gu group, and now I can take this opportunity to return to work in a company that I have long been interested in..."


    She returned her gaze to ye zhiqiao''s face and nodded, "So I thank you for your choice."


    Gu chengyan''s words were half true and half false. She had always been jian mengqi''s assistant and had never been ye zhiqiao''s, but she did apply for the job at mengxing group before, and now she suddenly appeared. It seemed that she wanted to stand on ye zhiqiao''s side, not knowing what she was planning.


    All these experiences made ye zhiqiao subconsciously defensive, but now she was not only facing gu chengyan, but also Li Ruonan and those colleagues who were emitting an unfriendly aura all over her body. Even if she was acting, she had to accompany gu chengyan to continue acting.


    So ye zhiqiao smiled and responded excitedly, "Really? Have you adapted to your previous job? It should be a little difficult to start over with me all of a sudden. I''m sorry to have made you pay so much."


    "How could that be? As long as it''s with president ye... Oh no, working with zhiqiao is my greatest luck."


    Gu chengyan''s smile was brilliant. Outsiders must have been naive and innocent, but ye zhiqiao could not believe this illusion.


    "Is today your first day at work?" Ye zhiqiao changed the subject and asked.


    Gu chengyan nodded, "Yes, I came to apply immediately after I heard about you from the original company. Just as there was an opening in the sales department, I was arranged to come over. Do you think we are very destined?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled bitterly in her heart, but her face was still as calm as ever, "Yes, yes."


    At this moment, in the scene of a "Peaceful" reunion of old friends, there suddenly came an untimely cold laugh.


    The voice naturally came from Li Ruonan, who had been watching the show for a long time with his arms in his arms.


    She grinned at gu chengyan and said, "What kind of flattery is there? I didn''t expect ye zhiqiao to have a follower! Little girl, do you have a brain? There must be no way out to be friends with such an indecent and incompetent person. Besides, isn''t it foolish of you to curry favor with her?"


    Before gu chengyan could reply, ye zhiqiao had already raised her brows and reminded her, "Li Ruonan, we made it clear yesterday''s match. Now that you''re pointing fingers at a tree, are you going to go back on your word?"


    "Che -" Li Ruonan rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean by not going back on your word? Don''t forget, we were tied in the match, so all the nonsense you said before the match was off limits, and everything should be the same as before."


    "Li Ruonan, you..." Ye zhiqiao stared at Li Ruonan and was so angry that she couldn''t speak.


    Li Ruonan also glared at ye zhiqiao with a provocative look, not giving up at all.


    Gu chengyan was not there yesterday and did not know what the match was between them, but at this time, she could clearly smell the strong smell of gunpowder between the two of them, so she took a step forward, turned sideways to block Li Ruonan''s compelling vision, and said to ye zhiqiao in a gentle voice, "Well, Zhiqiao, what is there to be angry about with such a person? It doesn''t matter if you criticize me. I won''t listen to her."


    "What did you say?" Li Ruonan angrily pulled gu chengyan''s shoulder and asked her to face him, "What kind of person do you think I am? I was kind enough to help you. I wanted you to turn your back on me and not be the target of public criticism. How dare you bite me back without knowing it!"


    Gu chengyan was not ye zhiqiao. She could not do things that were patient and reasonable. For disrespect and provocation, her way of dealing with them was to return the blame on others.


    So she reached out and brushed the clothes that Li Ruonan had touched, then scanned Li Ruonan and her colleagues with cold eyes, and slowly said, "I think it''s much better to kiss up to someone than to squeeze into a crowd and kiss up to them. And..."


    She snorted, looked at Li Ruonan with the corner of her eyes, shook her head and said, "How can you be more'' fashionable'' than zhiqiao? Is it this off-season dress or an aggressive face?"


    "You!"


    Li Ruonan suddenly raised his hand to her nose, looked down at his clothes, and said angrily, "You know nothing! This is a limited edition dress of the season, a famous brand from abroad!"


    Gu chengyan was waiting for her to say this and immediately replied, "Oh, I see. That means the clothes are nice, but you''re wearing them low!"


    Li Ruonan choked, then raised her voice reluctantly and continued to choke, but every time she said a word, gu chengyan immediately had another sentence waiting for her. After several verbal battles, she did not take any advantage of it, and even her colleagues around her were scolded.


    This round, gu chengyan won, but at the same time, she put herself and ye zhiqiao on the opposite side of Li Ruonan and her colleagues.


    She could have the advantage in words, but the other party was a large crowd after all, and finally to the manager, manager li''s preference for Li Ruonan was obvious to all, so the final loss was still her and ye zhiqiao.


    After listening to everyone''s gossipy narration, manager li immediately left Li Ruonan, ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan behind. The first thing he said was to blame ye zhiqiao.


    "Ye zhiqiao! What''s wrong with you? Do you want to do this job or not? Tell yourself how much trouble you''ve caused me in the morning. I''ll tell you, if you don''t want to do it, get out of my way and don''t get in my way!"


    Gu chengyan rushed forward to explain, "Manager, it''s not like this. This has nothing to do with zhiqiao. It''s just that Li Ruonan and those people went too far, so we..."

 Chapter 323 The Days Ahead Are Long

    "How dare you open your mouth?!" Manager li interrupted gu chengyan harshly, and his anger spread to her in an instant, "You are more hateful than her, don''t you know? You don''t want to fight with your colleagues on your first day here, do you?!"


    "We didn''t, they..."


    "All right, all right! Shut your mouth! If something goes wrong and you don''t think about your own reasons, you will know to blame your colleagues. The people you hate the most are you. More than 20 people in the family can get along so well, why do you two have to go against each other? It looks like if I don''t punish you, you''ll have to lift the roof!"


    Manager li did not intend to listen to ye zhiqiao''s explanation at all. The reason why he left Li Ruonan here was to show her how he punished ye zhiqiao and her so as to flatter her.


    Seeing that manager li had made up his mind, gu chengyan understood that it was useless to say anything else at this time, so he had to give up the argument about the right and wrong with Li Ruonan and pleaded with manager li, "Manager... You have no objection to punishing me, but this is all because of me. It has nothing to do with zhiqiao. You can punish me."


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu chengyan in disbelief. The latter still looked at manager li with a sincere face, as if she really wanted to bear the punishment alone.


    Ye zhiqiao was even more surprised. Gu chengyan''s sudden appearance had already made her extremely surprised. Now, gu chengyan, who was determined to harm her, actually wanted to take responsibility for her. If she hadn''t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn''t have believed it no matter what.


    However, although the reason was not clear, gu chengyan''s act of protecting her was still uncontrollable and touched her. Ye zhiqiao was moved and decided to put aside all the previous grievances and advance and retreat with gu chengyan.


    "Manager li, that''s not the case." She pulled gu chengyan behind her and said, "It was me who argued with my colleagues. The whole thing started because of me. If you want to punish me, punish me. It has nothing to do with gu chengyan."


    "Bang!"


    Manager li slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up! Shut up! I am the manager. You are the manager. Do you listen to me or me? You don''t take punishment seriously. You''re playing with your best friend here, right? That''s great. You''ll be punished together and continue to love each other!"


    The punishment was decided by manager li, and there was no room to return it. Ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan looked at each other and were both disappointed.


    Li Ruonan, who had been watching the show for a long time, was finally satisfied. He greeted manager li with a smile, then left the manager''s office with his flattering smile and the glare of gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao.


    Gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao did not need to stay, so they calmed down and said to manager li, "Manager, then we will go out first."


    Manager li didn''t even raise his eyelids and gave an angry "Yes."


    The two of them took a deep breath and walked out of the manager''s office one after another.


    In the office, Li Ruonan had already told his colleagues what happened to them as a joke, so when they returned to their respective seats, disdainful laughter began to spread from all directions.


    "Hey, look at him. He doesn''t take punishment seriously. He''s still in the mood to continue his work." A female colleague who was drinking coffee said sarcastically.


    "That''s right. What kind of person is he? He''s used to all kinds of things. Even if he gets fired, he might be able to find another home!"


    "That''s not right..." The young girl who was enjoying her manicure with her heavy makeup not far away curled her lips and said, "In this city, with the reputation of being expelled by the gu family, can you still survive?"


    Li Ruonan sighed, leaned back against his desk, and raised his eyebrows, "According to you, should we be nicer to others in the future? Otherwise, if we really get fired, they might hate us. Haha..."


    As Li Ruonan began, a triumphant laugh resounded through the office, but manager li, who was sitting in the manager''s office, seemed to have heard nothing and did not react.


    Ye zhiqiao was used to this kind of unfair treatment, and could continue to work without caring about the ridicule of others, but gu chengyan, who had a short temper, could not accept it at all.


    She had been furious ever since she was scolded in the manager''s office, and now that Li Ruonan and the others were provoking her again and again, she couldn''t help but get up and say angrily, "Mind your mouths! Don''t gloat too early, let alone laugh at us. We have a long way to go. We don''t know who will win or lose!"


    "You''re about to be fired, and you still have sharp teeth?" A colleague asked.


    Gu chengyan sneered and gritted his back teeth, "Haven''t you been opened yet? And you should be glad that I didn''t get fired. Otherwise, I won''t have to be controlled by the gu family. I''ll have time to deal with you one by one. See who we... Can use up."


    The last four words, as if squeezed out from a crack in one''s teeth, inexplicably sent a chill down one''s spine.


    The coworkers who had gathered and pointed at each other before froze, then found excuses to go back to their positions and start working, as if the episode had not happened. They were not as powerful as Li Ruonan. Naturally, they were afraid that they would really provoke gu chengyan to be punished.


    But Li Ruonan did not like this scene. She did not like all the people who did not obey and please her, and she had to deal with them obediently!


    So during her lunch break, she teamed up with a few "Obedient" colleagues to get gu chengyan to a place where no one was around to clean him up.


    At that time, gu chengyan was discussing going to dinner with ye zhiqiao, and the young girl who appeared behind her suddenly called her, "Gu chengyan, the manager asked me to ask you, did you finish the task he gave you?!"


    Gu chengyan was stunned, then turned around and said, "Wasn''t that arranged for me at ten o'' clock? It''s only two hours now. How can it be so fast?"


    The young girl rolled her eyes, "How would I know? Anyway, he said you had to go to him before you finished."


    "Now? It''s lunch break!"


    "Aiya, do you want to go or not? If you don''t go, you''ll be punished again!" The young girl waved her hand impatiently and said as she walked towards the door, "He''s in the lounge on the first floor. I''ve brought him with me, and he has nothing to do with me ever since."


    She said so seriously, gu chengyan naturally did not dare not go, a punishment is enough, if she still wants to stay here, she must be careful in words and deeds.


    Therefore, the previous plan to have lunch with ye zhiqiao had to be scrapped. Gu chengyan smiled bitterly and shook his head at ye zhiqiao. He went to the execution ground and took the elevator to the first floor.

 Chapter 324 Enemies? Friends?

    "Ding dong -"


    When the elevator arrived, gu chengyan came down and used his memory to walk in the direction of the lounge.


    She had just come to work today and was not sure about the layout of the company, but she had been to the first floor when she applied for the job. When she wanted to find the bathroom, she couldn''t find it, so she walked to the remote lounge by mistake. Besides, she remembered that there was a metal door hanging next to the lounge, which looked like an abandoned warehouse or something.


    As she recalled the route, she walked slowly forward. After turning a corner, a familiar iron door appeared in front of her.


    "Gu chengyan."


    Just as she was about to follow the storeroom to the lounge, Li Ruonan''s voice suddenly appeared behind her. She trembled and her face immediately darkened, "What are you doing? Pretending to be scary?!"


    "Hmph!" Li Ruonan picked up his arm and curled his mouth, "Keep your mouth clean. Come in with me."


    Gu chengyan stared at her suspiciously and asked, "Why are you going in? I still have something to do."


    Li Ruonan ignored her question and opened the iron door of the warehouse. Standing at the door, he said, "Manager li didn''t call you. I called you. Don''t you want to go against me? You don''t even dare to talk alone. Why are you so timid?"


    Knowing that he was deceived, gu chengyan was a little angry, but also curious about what Li Ruonan wanted to do, so he sneered and said contemptuously, "Afraid of you? I really take myself seriously!" Then he followed Li Ruonan into the warehouse.


    The iron door was slammed hard and made a dull and loud noise. Gu chengyan shook his head and said indifferently, "Tell me, what''s the matter?"


    "Don''t you know what I''m going to say?" Li Ruonan picked up a wooden stick from the shelf next to him and tossed it around in his hand, "I wanted to give you a chance to work here safely after you changed, but you refused to appreciate it and insisted on going along with ye zhiqiao... By the way, I don''t like the way you talk."


    Gu chengyan glanced at the stick in her hand and raised his lips, "So? You want to teach me a lesson this way?"


    "Uh-huh." Li Ruonan was noncommittal.


    Gu chengyan shook his head helplessly and chuckled. He straightened his shirt and said, "Do you dare? Don''t say you don''t dare. Even if you really hit me, do you think you can get something good to eat?"


    Li Ruonan was stunned, obviously not expecting gu chengyan to be unafraid of her threat.


    Gu chengyan was right. She really couldn''t do it in the company, and she didn''t intend to do it at all. She just wanted to scare gu chengyan into giving in so that she could calm down her anger. However, the idea was exposed so quickly that she was naturally embarrassed and even more angry than before.


    She slammed the stick into the corner of the wall and kicked the wooden stool next to her foot, "You don''t have to be proud. What if I don''t hit you? As long as I want, there are ways to deal with you! Whether it''s at the company or outside, as long as you offend me, you will suffer!"


    ...


    In the warehouse, Li Ruonan and gu chengyan were still engaged in a verbal and imposing battle, and at this time, ye zhiqiao, sitting alone in the empty office, was also engaged in a battle in her heart.


    Just five minutes ago, after she was separated from gu chengyan, she walked in the direction of the restaurant alone. On the way, she suddenly thought that gu chengyan might not have time to eat, so she prepared to bring back a meal for gu chengyan. However, when she chased gu chengyan down to the first floor and walked to the lounge, she saw that Li Ruonan was also there, and Li Ruonan also said something to gu chengyan, then the two of them walked into the next warehouse!


    At that moment, she felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and her mind was completely blank!


    Then she went back to her office in a heartbeat that was deafening. Only an empty office could calm her down a little.


    After sitting there motionless for a long time, her beating heart could not calm down. She could not believe what she had just seen, but she had to believe it.


    The colleague called gu chengyan out on the grounds that the manager was looking for her, but what gu chengyan went to see was not the manager, but Li Ruonan, who saw her as a thorn in the flesh. Apart from the fact that the two of them had known each other before and had agreed to frame her together, she could not find any other reason to explain the scene just now.


    If gu chengyan and Li Ruonan were on the same team and connected what happened in the morning, gu chengyan claimed that her assistant helped her deal with Li Ruonan, took the initiative to take responsibility for her in front of the manager, and even invited her to lunch with him not long ago...


    Ye zhiqiao opened her eyes in disbelief and shook her head subconsciously.


    It''s terrible, it''s really terrible! People who think they are close to each other are the enemy''s partners. They may be lurking around them just to deal with themselves, so that they will never be able to turn back!


    But that person, with a mask of hypocrisy, made people have to believe her heart.


    Ye zhiqiao grabbed the cup at the corner of the table and poured a big mouthful of water. The overflowing water dripped down the corner of her mouth to her chin. She just dabbed it on the back of her hand.


    Right now, she had no time to think about anything else. All she could think about was gu chengyan, Li Ruonan and everyone in the company.


    Whether they were human beings or evil spirits with human skin masks, she had to think carefully and see them clearly.


    This afternoon, ye zhiqiao did not go to the restaurant to eat, nor did she take a step away from her seat. From the initial panic to the final calm acceptance, it took her a lot of effort.


    When the lunch break was about to end, gu chengyan finally returned.


    She secretly looked behind gu chengyan and did not see Li Ruonan''s shadow, so she was more certain of the previous speculation - gu chengyan and Li Ruonan were in the same group! Because if the two of them were open and aboveboard, why didn''t they come back together and separate on purpose?


    Gu chengyan was unaware of the change in her mindset. When he saw her, he walked straight towards her with the same friendly smile on his face as before.


    "Zhiqiao, what did you have for lunch? I''m starving to death." Gu chengyan rubbed his stomach and half-laid on ye zhiqiao''s desk.


    Ye zhiqiao originally wanted to test her, such as asking her, "How did you come back?" "What did manager li tell you?" And so on, but she held back her words


    Ye zhiqiao felt that if she really asked these questions, it would probably arouse gu chengyan''s suspicions. Now that the enemy was in a good position, she did not need to break this favorable situation for herself.

 Chapter 325 Sales Department Dinner Party

    So she followed gu chengyan''s words and replied vaguely, "There''s nothing good to eat. I''m not used to the food in the restaurant."


    "Oh? Is that so?"


    Gu chengyan tilted his head and thought about it carefully. Then he quickly walked to his desk and brought back a bag of things.


    Just now, when she came back, ye zhiqiao saw what she was holding in her hand, but she didn''t pay much attention to it. Now she realized that it was the takeout bag from the coffee shop downstairs.


    "I didn''t eat anything for lunch. I was afraid that I would be hungry in the afternoon, so I went to pack these. I don''t know what you like to eat either. You can choose for yourself!" Gu chengyan smiled and sat on the chair beside ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly refused, "No, no... No, you haven''t eaten. How can I steal yours?"


    "Oh, it''s okay! Are we good friends? We have to fight side by side now. Besides, there are a lot of things I don''t understand at work that might trouble you." Gu chengyan said as he took out a waffle and a milkshake from his paper bag and continued, "I remember you didn''t like coffee, so I brought you a milkshake when I bought it."


    However, ye zhiqiao had no choice but to accept it. Just as she was about to thank her, her eyes glazed over and she suddenly wondered, "How do you know... I don''t like coffee?"


    Although she had personally chosen gu chengyan for the interview at mengxing group, gu chengyan had been working as jian mengqi''s assistant ever since. How did gu chengyan know about her preferences in life?


    Gu chengyan was shocked by ye zhiqiao''s question. She would know that ye zhiqiao liked her because she was her half-sister. Although she hated ye zhiqiao from a young age, she would naturally notice some things if she lived together, but at this time, how could she explain this "Natural" ?


    The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere gradually solidified. Before ye zhiqiao became more and more suspicious, gu chengyan''s brain worked rapidly and finally came up with a "Reasonable" explanation: "Oh... Yes... It''s president jian. She said you didn''t like it when she drank coffee."


    "... That''s right."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, then followed her eyes, secretly admiring the depth of gu chengyan''s mansion.


    Jian mengqi casually said, but gu chengyan can remember now, this is definitely not because of good memory, but gu chengyan has been trying to harm her, so subconsciously remember the things related to her, and then use these to flatter her, can also be used to kill her.


    Such a scheming person, she would definitely not take advantage of the hard approach, and might even force the other party to jump over the wall, so she must not deliberately alienate gu chengyan now, but to pretend to trust.


    Didn''t gu chengyan want to be good friends with her? Then be good friends. In this way, she would be able to monitor gu chengyan from a close distance, and if she made any changes, she would be able to detect them quickly.


    After figuring this out, ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan got along like fish in water and became much more natural. Both of them seemed to be in perfect harmony, whether it was the work that helped each other or when they got together to talk about new topics.


    The day passed quickly and manager li suddenly came out of the manager''s office when he was about to get off work. Standing in the middle of the office, he announced that the sales department would have a dinner party after work today and would pick up the new Li Ruonan.


    Ye zhiqiao and Li Ruonan came to the company on the same day, and gu chengyan was a little later than the two of them, but manager li did not mention ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan at all, but only said that he was picking up Li Ruonan. For this injustice, ye zhiqiao had nothing to say, but dinner...


    "Manager li, can you ask for leave for dinner?" Ye zhiqiao raised her hand and asked.


    Eating with a group of people who had no feelings or hostile relationships was definitely not comfortable, and it would be better if she had the time to go home with little treasure or stay at the company to work overtime.


    But manager li immediately frowned when he heard what she said. His face looked as if he had eaten something unclean and his tone was even worse, "What leave?! Didn''t you hear what I said about a dinner for all? Are you not from the sales department or don''t want to be from the sales department?!"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao let out a light breath and said, "I have something at home, so..."


    Manager li waved his hand to interrupt her and asked, "What''s the matter? How big is it? If it''s important, could you wait until after work to deal with it? The relationship between myself and my colleagues was so tense that I didn''t want to take this opportunity to relax and have to do something! Leave? At the gu family, I''ve never heard of a dinner party!"


    "But manager li..."


    Ye zhiqiao still wanted to fight, but gu chengyan tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her, signaling her to stop fighting with his eyes.


    Manager li saw the situation and snorted coldly, "Hmph, there is no friendship between colleagues, no wonder you are ostracized. If you don''t go today, next time you have any disputes with your colleagues, don''t come to me again, just pack your things and go home!"


    With that, manager li shook his hand and returned to the manager''s office with a gloomy face.


    Manager li put it this way, and ye zhiqiao had to go.


    As soon as it was time to leave work, she and the others took a bus to a high-class restaurant in the city. Naturally, it was not her turn to pick a private room and order, and no one would ask for her opinion. She and gu chengyan walked to the end of the line and entered the private room to find a corner to sit down quietly, trying to suppress the sense of existence.


    But even if she wanted to be invisible again, the real world would not allow it.


    After the meal, when the atmosphere was in full swing, manager li, who was sitting lazily on a chair with a red face, suddenly suggested that the people present perform some talents to cheer them up. He also ordered Li Ruonan, ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan, the three newcomers, to go on stage.


    They were in the top vip room in the restaurant, which had all the necessary stage, sound equipment, common musical instruments and leisure facilities. The staff of large companies would almost always choose this place for dinner, in order to save the hotel ktv running in both directions. Ye zhiqiao originally wanted to excuse herself after dinner, but when she entered the private room, she realized that her plan was going to be ruined.


    Since I can''t leave, it doesn''t matter if I perform to entertain myself.


    She nodded in agreement with Li Ruonan and gu chengyan, and then her colleagues looked at the three of them.


    Li Ruonan had always liked to steal the limelight, and her performance was likely to be forgotten, so she said she wanted to perform last.


    In order to show his love to ye zhiqiao, gu chengyan volunteered for his first performance and talked about a piano piece to warm up the scene.

 Chapter 326 Acting to Cheer Her Up

    Even if they were not on good terms, their colleagues applauded in such a lively atmosphere.


    After gu chengyan''s performance ended, the second was ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao was about to sing, so she had to stand beside the song lighter on the small stage. When she stood on the stage, she did not know who turned on the overhead light. For a moment, the gentle white light hit her face, making her beautiful face more gentle and gentle.


    After a little selection, she chose Rene Liu''s song. The quality of the microphone was not very good, but when she spoke, it was still amazing. Unlike Rene Liu''s hoarse voice, her voice was clear and pure, like a breeze on a summer night, blowing away the smell of alcohol and fireworks from the dinner, drifting out of the window to take the people listening to the song to the mountains and the coast.


    Allow me to settle the dust and bury the past in silence.


    I came from the sea, covered in wind and rain, to live in seclusion in this desert.


    The things that should be hidden are always clear, and a thousand words can only be left speechless.


    Love is a superstition of time and place. Oh, so you''re here too...


    ...


    ...


    At the end of the song, when the accompaniment stopped, ye zhiqiao walked back to her seat with a slightly red face. Only then did the surprised people react and applaud one after another. They could still hear their surprise and shock at ye zhiqiao''s singing voice.


    When ye zhiqiao was praised, Li Ruonan was naturally unconvinced and immediately asked his colleagues to choose a very rhythmic dance song.


    Li Ruonan learned dancing from a young age, and her body was soft and stretched. She wore a bright red miniskirt that she had specially changed into when she went home to work. She walked in a swaying manner, not to mention twisting her body to dance to the music that vibrated her eardrums.


    The eyes of all the men in the room were attracted by her hot and bold dance, their eyes nailed tightly to her body, lingering on her body.


    Ye zhiqiao''s elegant singing just now seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.


    Li Ruonan was even more happy to see the situation, and the range of body movements was greater, but also intentionally or unintentionally close to ye zhiqiao''s direction, and had to compete with her height.


    Ye zhiqiao was sitting on the sofa near the wall, and there was a long coffee table in front of her. Li Ruonan wanted to walk around the coffee table to her, but when Li Ruonan was just trying to show her with his eyes, he didn''t notice a box of beer coming out of the coffee table''s leg...


    "Ah!!!"


    Li Ruonan, who had tripped over a beer can and was wearing a dozen centimeters high heel, jumped forward and fell to the ground in a flash.


    Everyone was stunned by her screams.


    It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and even the air was still. Ye zhiqiao stared at Li Ruonan lying on the ground in a daze. Gu chengyan was surprised and could not help laughing. Manager li had just put a mouthful of braised meat into his mouth and even forgot to chew it...


    Awkwardness... The smell of awkwardness spread through the room. It could be said that the previous dance was so passionate and hot, and now the scene was so awkward and awkward. At this time, the dance music just stopped, and the silence added to the awkwardness.


    Li Ruonan seemed to have hit her foot, or simply felt embarrassed and didn''t know how to deal with it, but she just knelt on the ground and didn''t move. Her position was right in front of ye zhiqiao, who wanted to help her, but stopped at the moment when she was ready to reach out.


    Ye zhiqiao thought, Li Ruonan is so good face, she kindly helped her up at this time, not to be thanked, maybe it will make Li Ruonan feel that she was watching a good show, and then deliberately pretended to be a good person, so she gave up this superfluous act.


    But manager li did not intend to let her go.


    Manager li coughed loudly to remind the crowd, then pointed the gun at ye zhiqiao, "Ye zhiqiao, what''s wrong with you? Don''t you know how to help a colleague?! Ruonan used to want to interact with you, but why didn''t you say anything about friendship or care about your colleagues?!"


    Interaction? Friendship?


    Ye zhi coincidentally received a scolding without thinking, so she resigned herself to her fate and got up to help Li Ruonan. Li Ruonan didn''t make any trouble this time, so he put his hand on hers and stood up.


    Of course, if they didn''t have the last white eye, the friendship between their colleagues might be more harmonious.


    When the two of them sat down again, their colleagues would look at them, and a few cheerful people would deliberately find something interesting to say. After a few jokes, Li Ruonan''s fall was over and the atmosphere was lively again.


    But everyone else wanted this to go away easily, but Li Ruonan couldn''t.


    She made a fool of herself by dancing and falling down, and manager li had to come forward to relieve her embarrassment, while ye zhiqiao had received a round of applause for a song. If this continued, what if her colleagues really thought ye zhiqiao was outstanding and no longer hated ye zhiqiao?


    No way! She must not let ye zhiqiao stand out alone. She must be ashamed, and ye zhiqiao must be more ashamed than she is!!


    So she decided to find a way to give ye zhiqiao a drink. She thought that ye zhiqiao would be "Very charming" when she was drunk and acting like a madman, especially when compared to the voice that had just been praised for being nimble and elegant.


    Li Ruonan thought he had a good amount of alcohol, so he went straight to ye zhiqiao with a few bottles of beer and insisted on drinking with ye zhiqiao.


    It was getting late, and their relationship was not good. Naturally, ye zhiqiao didn''t want to drink with her, so she said, "I''m sorry, I don''t know how to drink. I have to go back by myself later. If I drink too much, it would be inconvenient."


    Li Ruonan didn''t care about her. She wanted her to get drunk and embarrass herself. She pointed at manager li and said, "Didn''t you see that everyone else was drinking? Do you want to drink with me or with the men like manager li? It doesn''t make sense to come to dinner without drinking."


    At this time, gu chengyan was not there, and ye zhiqiao had little experience in such social engagements, so she refused several times, so she had to drink according to Li Ruonan''s wishes.


    But one thing, just because she didn''t want to drink it before, doesn''t mean she wouldn''t. Her mother loved to collect all kinds of red wine when she was alive, and her father was also a frequent business talker at the wine table, perhaps due to genetic inheritance. Her alcohol intake was always higher than that of a normal girl. Plus, she had always been on Li Ruonan''s guard, and every time she drank, she would stop at the same time. Half an hour later, she was still in good spirits.


    Li Ruonan, on the other hand, could not drink as much as ye zhiqiao. In order to make ye zhiqiao drink more, she had to drink more. After putting down the glass for the last time, she immediately staggered out of the room.

 Chapter 327 Drunk Li Ruonan

    Ye zhiqiao guessed that she had vomited in the bathroom and ignored her. She took an orange from the table and peeled it to eat. When she turned around, she saw her phone screen light up.


    It was gu mohan''s call.


    Just now, she had been concentrating on dealing with Li Ruonan and hadn''t paid attention to her phone for a long time. When ye zhiqiao walked to the corner with her phone, she realized that it was gu mohan''s seventh call.


    She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to tell gu mohan that she was coming to dinner, so gu mohan saw that she had not returned home for so long after work, so he called so many times in a hurry.


    Thinking of this, she quickly answered the phone apologetically. Before she could apologize, gu mohan''s anxious voice rushed into her ears, "Zhiqiao? Where are you?! Why aren''t you home so late? Is something wrong?"


    "No, no..." Afraid that gu mohan would be worried, ye zhiqiao quickly explained, "I was having dinner with my colleagues at the restaurant not far from the company. I forgot to tell you in advance, so you were worried, right? I''m sorry..."


    "...


    Her voice was getting quieter and quieter. Even through the phone, gu mohan could guess the small expression of grievance on her face. How could he bear to blame her? He sighed and said, "I''m glad you''re okay. But none of the people in the sales department are easy to get along with. I heard that your colleagues are not very nice to you either. If it''s almost time, call me. I''ll pick you up."


    Ye zhiqiao covered the microphone and looked around the room, then said softly, "No need, my colleagues are here. If you come, it would be bad if they recognized you."


    "Then I''ll wait for you halfway, just like I did when I sent you to work." Gu mohan suggested a compromise, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "That''s right! You didn''t drink, did you? You''re not familiar with those people. Don''t drink with them."


    "Uh... I..."


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lip and subconsciously looked at the coffee table not far away. There were seven or eight bottles scattered on it, which were her and Li Ruonan''s masterpiece.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want gu mohan to worry about it. She wanted to lie to him that she didn''t drink, but then she thought that the smell of alcohol on her body and in her mouth couldn''t be hidden. When she got home, gu mohan would definitely find out that she forgot to tell her schedule first, and then deliberately deceived him. At that time, gu mohan must be angry.


    And the most important thing for the two of them to get along with was honesty. She cherished this relationship with gu mohan, so she didn''t want to lie to him.


    "I... Drank." She drummed her mouth and said truthfully.


    "Did you really drink?!" Gu mohan was startled. "Tsk!" He said, "How come you don''t have any sense of protection? How dare you drink? No, I have to pick you up. As for how to avoid your colleagues, I will think of a way."


    After that, without listening to ye zhiqiao''s answer, gu mohan stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the restaurant that ye zhiqiao had mentioned.


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan agreed that she would take the subway home when she got off work, so gu mohan went home directly after work today, but waited at home until it was dark, ye zhiqiao still did not come back. He hurriedly called the company''s security room and got the news that the entire gu family had finished work, including the sales department on the eighth floor.


    He was even more worried and uneasy, taking care of little treasure after a simple dinner and driving back to the company, ready to follow the route from work, while he was also constantly calling ye zhiqiao.


    When ye zhiqiao answered the phone, he happened to be not far from the company, so he arrived at the restaurant very quickly and arrived about five minutes after putting down his phone.


    It was time for dinner, and the restaurant was crowded. It took gu mohan a long time to find a parking space. When he entered the restaurant, he met all the well-fed diners along the way, mixed with the greasy smell of food and the smell of alcohol and smoke.


    He held his breath and walked forward, because the business was too busy and the waiter didn''t have time to guide him.


    Li Ruonan had just come back from the bathroom. She had vomited in the dark, and the alcohol was slowly coming up. Her steps were floating, and her body was swaying from side to side. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, but in a trance, she still saw a tall figure standing in front of her room door.


    When she got closer, she realized that the figure was no one else but the handsome and rich president of her own company.


    Gu mohan found ye zhiqiao''s private room and was about to push the door in when something with a pungent scent of perfume and alcohol suddenly pounced on him. He was caught off guard and staggered!


    Holding the wall to steady himself, gu mohan frowned impatiently. He thought it was some drunk girl who couldn''t find her way around and was trying to hold his temper, but when he pushed the girl away with a disgusted look, he realized that she was a new employee of his company. Because of her good resume, she was recognized by some senior management. Her name... Should be Ruonan... Oh, it was Li Ruonan.


    But no matter how good his resume was, or how capable he was at work, or how drunk he was in public and threw himself at a strange man, he could not appreciate this woman. For a moment, his face turned even uglier than when he was hit.


    Li Ruonan was completely unaware of his changes. Seeing gu Mohan push her away, she opened her arms and tried to stick them on again.


    Gu mohan lost all patience and said in a deep voice, "Li Ruonan! Get up!"


    Li Ruonan did not expect gu mohan to recognize him, nor did he expect that the rich and handsome boss he had imagined countless times would speak to him in such a stern tone. His slow head after drinking slowed down by half a beat and was thrown against the wall by gu mohan.


    Then, in her confused and unwilling eyes, gu mohan pushed open the door in front of him and walked in.


    The room was a mess. Some were singing, some were dancing, and some were sitting at the dining table eating. Coupled with the dim light, gu mohan''s arrival did not cause any sensation.


    He searched the crowd and his eyes quickly fell on the woman sitting alone in the corner. Then he walked straight towards the woman.


    "Let''s go. Let''s go back."


    He reached out his hand in front of ye zhiqiao, but ye zhiqiao looked a little flustered and gave him a look in a hurry.


    Gu mohan followed her gaze and turned around, only to see that Li Ruonan had followed him here at some point in time.


    When Li Ruonan was around, he couldn''t show that he knew ye zhiqiao, so he put down his arm without any trace and stared at Li Ruonan with sharp eyes, ready to see what she was doing.

 Chapter 328 Fire Li Ruonan

    Li Ruonan tilted his body and picked up his arm with great effort. He looked at gu mohan one moment and ye zhiqiao the other. He sneered and asked, "Mr. Gu, you''re not here to see ye zhiqiao, are you?"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned when she heard this and thought that she had seen something.


    Gu mohan gave ye zhiqiao a "Reassuring" look, then returned to Li Ruonan and said, "Come to dinner and have fun. The rest has nothing to do with you. Don''t meddle."


    His obvious act of protecting ye zhiqiao made Li Ruonan very unhappy. Why would a woman like ye zhiqiao attract gu mohan''s attention, and she would be pushed away by disgust even if she couldn''t stand and fell on gu mohan?


    Where is she worse than ye zhi?


    No! She felt that not only was she no worse than ye zhi, but she was much better in every aspect!


    So, she explained with half jealousy and half unwillingness, "I just care about you. Ye zhiqiao is not a good person. She is the best at putting on airs and pretending to be a soft and weak white lotus to gain sympathy from men, especially those rich and powerful men. So you must not be fooled by her appearance."


    "Are you talking about yourself or ye zhiqiao?" Gu mohan asked with a gloomy face.


    Then, he turned to look at ye zhiqiao with a meaningful look.


    He had heard before that ye zhiqiao''s interpersonal relationships in the department were not very good and would be ostracized occasionally, but ye zhiqiao never mentioned these things to him, so he thought ye zhiqiao could handle it, but according to the current situation, ye zhiqiao was not ostracized at all, but bullied and humiliated.


    Li Ruonan dared to humiliate ye zhiqiao in front of him, so when he was not around, ye zhiqiao''s situation could be imagined.


    As long as gu mohan thought that ye zhiqiao was alone in a strange environment and had no one to protect her and had to face all kinds of difficulties on her own, his heart would not feel good. The pain and guilt towards ye zhiqiao gradually turned into anger at the people who bullied her.


    Li Ruonan didn''t know if it was because she was drunk, so he didn''t lose sight of her. Instead, he added, "Master gu, ye zhiqiao is not good enough for you. Don''t look for her. If you want, I... I''ve liked you for a long time. You can try it with me..."


    Li Ruonan''s cheeks were flushed, her face was shy, her eyes were misty, and her tone was ambiguous.


    However, these could confuse any man''s appearance and fall into gu mo''s cold eyes. Apart from disgust and disgust, there was no other effect except to make him more angry.


    "Get lost!"


    He gave a loud shout, then raised his hand and beckoned manager li, who had just noticed the situation and was hesitating whether to step forward.


    Manager li immediately trotted to his side and bowed in greeting, "President gu, why are you free to come here? Actually, I wanted to invite you, but I was afraid you were too busy with work, so..."


    "All right, all right!" Gu mohan was angry, how could he be in the mood to listen to his flattery? Pointing directly at Li Ruonan, he ordered, "How did this kind of person get into the gu family? Aren''t you going to do the new employee assessment?! Slander a colleague, bad behavior! We don''t need this kind of staff at gu''s. You should get rid of her immediately and fire her!!"


    "Ah! This..." Manager li scratched the top of "Mediterranean" ''s hair, his eyes rolling frantically.


    Li Ruonan had a strong background, or else he wouldn''t have been fawning on her just because she had been abroad for a few years. Now that gu mohan asked him to fire Li Ruonan, he felt like he was stuck between two mountains, offending neither side.


    After weighing the pros and cons, manager li decided to give gu mo face first and agree to it, then inform the other end as soon as possible.


    With this in mind, manager li immediately burst into a "Brilliant" smile and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, listen to president gu, I will arrange as soon as possible."


    Gu mohan remembered ye zhiqiao and waved him down when he agreed.


    Manager li looked at gu mohan''s face and left without saying anything, but instead of returning to his seat, he went straight out of the private room.


    A noisy room was locked inside the door. Manager li called mother gu at the corner of the stairwell.


    Mother gu was one of Li Ruonan''s backers and the one who could suppress gu mohan the most.


    Mother gu was originally prepared to cause trouble for ye zhiqiao''s work. With Li Ruonan around, her goal could be achieved effortlessly, so when she heard that gu mohan was going to fire Li Ruonan, she immediately objected, "Absolutely not! Ruonan has to stay in the company. No one can fire her!"


    "But..." Manager li''s dilemma was not concealed, "I like Ruonan very much. I have a good working ability and personality, but president gu''s attitude seems quite determined. If I don''t do as he says, I''m afraid..."


    "What are you afraid of? With me around, you don''t have to be afraid of anything." Mother gu was just about to take a break, so she didn''t want to talk to him, leaving him with a reassuring pill, "As long as you do as I tell you, you don''t have to worry about the rest. If something goes wrong, I will solve it."


    Manager li was waiting for this, and quickly agreed, "Okay, you can rest assured that the subordinates will do as you say."


    On this side, manager li and mother gu were trying to protect Li Ruonan. On the other side, gu mohan had to guard against Li Ruonan for ye zhiqiao''s request.


    Ye zhiqiao did not let gu mohan expose their relationship, but Li Ruonan was still by gu mohan''s side. She was half drunk and half awake, and gu mohan could not lose his temper or reason with her, so he had to use a last resort.


    "Your name is ye zhiqiao, right?" Gu mohan cleared his throat and motioned ye zhiqiao to stand up with his eyes.


    As soon as ye zhiqiao heard his feigned unfamiliar tone, she almost immediately understood his thoughts, but she did not know what he was going to do next, so she had to follow his words and get up and answer,... "Yes, president gu."


    Gu mohan swept around the table, then casually picked up an orange and handed it to her with a grin, "You''re welcome. It''s actually not the first time we''ve met. I can always see you taking the bus on the way to work every day. Aren''t you tired?"


    Ye zhiqiao narrowed her eyes in embarrassment and shook her head after taking the orange.


    "Not tired? But during rush hour, aren''t the buses always crowded? You''re so skinny. You probably squeezed it out on the bus, right?" Gu mohan moved closer to her and continued to ask.


    "... Ye zhiqiao subconsciously moved her foot back and whispered," no."


    "Heh -" gu mohan blinked at her, his black eyes shining with light, "Are you shy? Are girls still shy now?"

 Chapter 329 Leaving the Gu Family

    The one who''s not shy when you look at him like that is a rock!


    Ye zhiqiao secretly clenched her teeth and resisted the urge to rush over and grab gu mohan''s ear.


    Li Ruonan leaned on the sofa and looked at the two of them strangely with his head tilted. Previously, she thought that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao knew each other. This time, she came to look for ye zhiqiao, but listening to their conversation just now, it was not like they had known each other before, but more like gu mohan suddenly discovered ye zhiqiao, and then... Flirted?


    Flirting?!


    Li Ruonan herself was shocked by the word she thought of. She would never believe that ye zhiqiao had such a great charm that even a good man like gu Mohan, who had seen all kinds of women, would be attracted!


    But even if she didn''t believe it, it wouldn''t help, because gu mohan already saw that ye zhiqiao had drunk and offered to give her a ride.


    Seeing the two of them leave one after the other, Li Ruonan suddenly stood up and was about to chase them out, but he still stopped at the door. Gu mohan already hated her and was about to fire her. Now that she had ruined gu mohan''s good deed in the past, she would not be able to afford it!


    At this time, at the entrance of the hotel, without Li Ruonan, the saboteur, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao could finally return to their normal state. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then boarded gu mohan''s car in the open.


    On the way home, ye zhiqiao could not help but smile as she cooled her hot cheeks with the back of her hand, "Gu mohan, I didn''t expect you to be so talented in acting besides doing business! That was a real performance. Li Ruonan was shocked."


    Gu mohan was not amused. Instead, he glanced at ye zhiqiao''s buttocks in the rearview mirror and asked in a calm voice, "Did she drink your wine too?"


    This "She" refers to who, needless to say, knows.


    Ye zhiqiao''s body stiffened and her hands slowly returned to her legs.


    She really didn''t want gu mohan to know about the company. She was unwilling to announce that the relationship between the two had gone through the back door. Even if gu mohan knew about it, he could not help her. Instead, she wanted gu Mohan to follow her and worry about her. There was no need for her to do so.


    She thought she was hiding it well, but today, it was revealed.


    The green light was on, but the car in front of him did not move. Gu mohan honked his horn and stepped on the gas after the car left. There was no air conditioning in the car. The night breeze blew in through the window at a steady speed, bringing in a refreshing chill.


    Seeing that she was silent, gu mohan sighed helplessly and said in a warm voice, "I understand your thoughts. I support you when you want to train yourself, but if something happens beyond your limit and you can''t solve it yourself, there''s nothing you can''t do about asking me for help."


    "If you have a strong personality, I will never force you to change. I like you, that is, all of you. You have the same strengths and weaknesses. But sometimes... I hope you can... You can think about it for me..."


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head and looked at him in a daze.


    Gu mohan''s tone was helpless, but with pity and bitterness, he continued, "For example, today''s dinner should not have gone at all. Because it''s a dinner party for other employees, but I think it''s just like a hongmen banquet for you. People are the scariest animals. Some things you don''t think will happen, they might really do it. By then, it''s too late to regret. If something happens to you, what should I do?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded. She understood what gu mohan meant, but sometimes she couldn''t help but explain. So she apologized, "I''m sorry, I... I''ll think about it more carefully next time."


    "Huh-" gu mohan shook his head and took a deep breath. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "But I don''t want... To do it again."


    "Hmm?" His tone was profound and ye zhiqiao was puzzled.


    Gu mohan tightened his grip on the steering wheel and continued, "Leave the gu family. Go to mengxing group, go to jian mengqi''s studio, or stay at home and do whatever you want... But leave gu''s and don''t stay in that dragon pond and tiger cave."


    "...


    In front of ye zhiqiao''s apartment, the security guard standing at the entrance of the community saluted the car that slowly opened the door. The black car drove to the underground parking lot, until the lights were off, ye zhiqiao slowly and firmly said her decision.


    "I''m not going to leave. I told you, I''ll do my best to make the decision. Now... It''s not time to give up."


    With that, she pursed her lips and opened the door to get out of the car.


    When he got home, little treasure was still awake. When he saw ye zhiqiao, he immediately threw himself into her arms and rubbed his head against hers. He muttered, "Aunt ye, little treasure misses you..."


    Ye zhiqiao had recently left early and returned late every day, and the time she spent with little treasure had indeed decreased a lot. In the past, the work of coaxing little treasure to sleep every night had also been slackened a lot recently.


    She picked up little treasure, walked to the sofa and sat down, pinched her pretty little nose and asked, "Yo, is our little treasure unhappy?"


    Little treasure grunted and continued to withdraw into ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled comfortably, patted her on the back and said softly, "Little treasure, when aunt ye is done with this period of time, I will take you out on a sunny weekend, okay? But now that auntie has just entered the company, she has a lot of things to learn again. Just like little treasure learning numbers and ancient poems, it''s very difficult."


    "Uh-" little treasure tugged at a strand of ye zhiqiao''s hair and fiddled with it between his short, white and tender fingers, nodding with his lips.


    "I knew little treasure was the most sensible!"


    Ye zhiqiao immediately imprinted a big kiss on xiao bao''s forehead. After being kissed, xiao bao felt a little embarrassed and quickly jumped down from ye zhiqiao''s legs. Two short legs bounced back to the bedroom and played hide and seek.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her with a warm smile, but she did not chase after her.


    The day''s work was hard, and the wine she drank during the dinner also reacted. At this time, her head was heavy, and her bones seemed to fall apart.


    "Have some hangover soup."


    Gu mohan walked over and handed the bowl to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him and then at the kitchen, thinking that it was no wonder that she didn''t hear him after entering the door. It turned out that he had gone to make sobering soup. She was afraid that he would be angry because she refused to leave the gu family. It seemed that it was unnecessary.

 Chapter 330 Fed by Little Treasure

    "Thank you." Ye zhi coincidentally took the sobering soup and drank it in her hand, one after another. The warm liquid flowed down her throat into her stomach, and the previous pain immediately eased a lot.


    She raised her head and smiled at gu mohan, gesturing to the seat beside her with her eyes, "Sit down."


    Gu mohan nodded and sat down, then said, "There''s still porridge in the kitchen. I''ll go make some supper later. You''re busy with social engagements. Surely you haven''t eaten?"


    Ye zhiqiao answered guiltily, afraid that gu mohan would mention letting her leave the gu family again.


    However, gu Mohan still mentioned it, but this time he took a step back from before, "You said you didn''t want to leave the gu family and wanted to persevere... Just now, I calmly thought for a while and felt that you must have your own reasons, so I won''t stop you, but there is one thing I want to discuss with you."


    As long as you don''t force her, everything can be discussed! Ye zhiqiao put the bowl on the table and approached gu mohan, blinking and waiting for him to say.


    "I want to..." Gu mohan bent his finger and hooked his forehead, "I want to make our relationship public in the company. In that case..."


    "No!"


    Before he could finish, ye zhiqiao, who initially said "Everything is easy to say," immediately stood up and refused," this is absolutely not possible." If we announce our relationship, then I don''t have to stay with the gu family anymore. Anyway, whether they like me or not, whether I''m capable enough or not, they''ll smile at me for your sake."


    "They don''t dare bully you, isn''t that good?" Gu mohan also stood up, his face filled with heartache.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head firmly and said, "Not good. Now that you''re worried, angry, and even about firing Li Ruonan, it''s just because I was bullied, because I was ostracized, and you want to feel sorry for me. But if I were your girlfriend and protected by you, wouldn''t that be unfair to others?"


    Realizing that she was a little excited, ye zhi closed her eyes and calmed down. She took gu mohan''s hand and placed it on her face, "With you as my support, I''m not afraid of anything. I just want to gain recognition through my own efforts, not through any opportunistic means."


    Speaking of this, ye zhiqiao was already honest with each other. Even if gu mohan was unwilling, he could only choose to respect ye zhiqiao.


    He looked at ye zhiqiao helplessly. After a long time, he bent his mouth and smiled softly.


    What else could he do? This is how you like someone. Even if she doesn''t listen to you, even if she''s stubborn and strong, you can''t blame or hurt her. Instead, you still support her without regrets.


    After their conversation, they reached a consensus on what ye zhiqiao was going to do next. Gu mohan went back into the kitchen to cook, and in less than half an hour, he brought out a plate of porridge and a few dishes.


    Little treasure saw the two of them sitting at the table, holding their dolls and following them. He nimbly climbed onto the chair and then sat down with a twist. He grabbed the spoon on the table and said, "Auntie ye, you are tired from work. Little treasure will feed you dinner, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked at each other in surprise and smiled at each other. Ye zhiqiao touched little treasure''s head and replied, "Of course."


    Upon hearing this, little treasure immediately straightened up like an adult, scooped up a spoonful of porridge from the bowl, and blew it carefully on her lips for a long time. Due to her unskilled movements, her pouting lips were still stained with porridge, but her expression was very serious, and she did not notice this detail at all. When she lifted the porridge to ye zhiqiao''s mouth, she did not forget to remind him, "Be careful, it''s hot..."


    Ye zhiqiao ate it with a smile and nodded in xiao bao''s undisguised expectant eyes, "It''s not hot at all. The temperature is just right. And because xiao bao fed it, it tastes as sweet as adding sugar."


    Hearing ye zhiqiao''s praise, xiao bao was encouraged and quickly scooped up a few small dishes from the plate beside him. He grinned and said, "Auntie ye eats this again. The celery is very delicious. Dad cooked it for dinner. I ate a lot."


    Ye zhiqiao naturally ate as she was told, and the expression in her eyes was unbelievably soft.


    She had a child, but she thought that her child had died five years ago. She had been sad and sad, but it was an unborn child. As a mother, she was not impressed.


    The appearance of little treasure seemed to make her a real mother, taking care of her daughter''s life, going out to play, studying together, sitting and talking together when she was in a bad mood... She didn''t mean to use little treasure as a substitute for her own child, but somehow, she felt more and more that little treasure was her daughter, and they were originally a family.


    Staring at little treasure''s efforts to straighten up and scoop out the dishes from various plates to feed her, ye zhiqiao was moved to tears in her eyes. She had been unconsciously doing these things for little treasure before, but now it seems that little treasure did not take this for granted, but returned them to her in his own way.


    This night, ye zhiqiao was comforted and touched by little treasure feeding her. After dinner, she took little treasure to wash up and then lay on the bed together.


    Under the warm orange light of the bedside lamp, ye zhiqiao took out the storybook again after a few days and whispered the story of the ugly duckling to little treasure. Her gentle and soft voice comforted little treasure and slipped into gu mohan''s ear along the half-open door.


    The little boy''s breathing gradually became regular and her eyelashes no longer trembled. Ye zhiqiao lightly imprinted a kiss on her forehead and said with her lips, "Sleep, my little baby."


    Then, she gently turned over from the bed and walked out of the bedroom.


    In the living room, as expected, gu mohan was still sitting on the sofa waiting. When he saw her coming, he immediately opened his arms. The child asked for a sugary scoundrel to act coquettishly and said, "It''s my turn to coax the little one, isn''t it?"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t hold back when she heard this. She burst into laughter and quickly turned to the bedroom. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she continued walking towards the sofa and joked, "Are you old? She''s still competing for favor with her daughter. How shameless!"


    "Ah--"


    Gu mohan sighed, pulled ye zhiqiao into his arms and held her tightly before continuing, "What''s the face? If you don''t want it, you can do it."


    "I don''t want you yet!" Ye zhiqiao shook her head and bumped into gu mohan, then said, "However, when I coaxed little treasure to sleep, I remembered something and wanted to discuss it with you."

 Chapter 331 Gu Mohans Favor

    Gu mohan focused on playing with her small wrist, and "En" signaled to her to continue.


    "I want... To let you go back to your own villa first, because we go in and out together every day. If any of my colleagues suddenly think of my family as a guest, wouldn''t it be exposed?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao nodded. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more thoughtful she felt, "Of course, little treasure can stay here with me. I will try not to work overtime, and I will take good care of her. If my colleagues see her... En... If they see me, I will say that she is a friend''s daughter, and I will take care of her temporarily. How about that?"


    "...


    "How about you?"


    "...


    There was no movement behind her. Ye zhiqiao turned her head and said to herself strangely, "Are you asleep so soon?" !!!


    When she met gu mohan''s burning eyes, ye zhiqiao was shocked.


    Without thinking, she slapped gu mohan on the chest, then gasped and complained, "What are you doing, scaring people in the middle of the night? Why can''t you make a sound if you''re not asleep?"


    "Dare you ask me why I didn''t say anything?"


    Gu mohan grabbed ye zhiqiao''s slender arm in his hand and leaned closer to her. "What did you just say, huh?" How dare you go against me?"


    Gu mohan suddenly became serious. Ye zhiqiao was not used to it. She didn''t even notice the close distance between them. She had to admit that gu mohan always smiled innocently at her, but when the smile disappeared... It was really scary...


    "What did I say... Wasn''t I talking to you?" Ye zhiqiao replied with no confidence.


    Gu mohan grunted unhappily and wrinkled his nose, "Then I disagree!"


    "Why?"


    "Why? Why? Would you say anything else than that?" Gu mohan glared at her hatefully and asked, "We work in the same company every day, but don''t you know how many opportunities we have to meet? Are you going to let me not see you when I come home at night? Are we in a long-distance relationship?"


    "Ah? I..." She really didn''t expect this, "But I''m not afraid..."


    "Stop!" Gu mohan raised his head and gently knocked ye zhiqiao''s forehead. His eyes were deep and he said, "There''s nothing to be afraid of. I will never compromise on this."


    "Gu mo... Mmm!"


    Ye zhiqiao still wanted to fight for it, but the light above her eyes suddenly dimmed. The familiar breath was close, and two pieces of softness touched her lips randomly, leaving no room...


    This kiss, which ye zhiqiao thought was unexpected, was planned by gu mohan for a long time. Finally, it would end after ye zhiqiao could not breathe and patted gu mohan on the back and begged for mercy.


    As if the air in her lungs was about to be sucked out, ye zhiqiao patted her chest to relax and rolled her eyes at gu mohan, who was about to approach her. She said in a voice that she thought was full of vigor but was actually like a lamb, "What else do you want? Didn''t they all agree to you? If you don''t move, you don''t have to move!"


    Gu mohan chuckled and picked her up with ye zhiqiao''s knee in his hand. He walked to the bedroom and said, "I see. I''ll let you go to bed first. The rest of the bill will be settled tomorrow..."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know what she owed gu mohan, but she just felt that she had too little time with him and so on.


    No, the next day, as soon as he went to work, the "Creditor" came looking for him.


    At the door of the sales department office, Li Ruonan leaned against the door frame with his arm in his arms. He didn''t know how long he had been waiting. When he saw ye zhiqiao coming over, he reached out and blocked her way. He raised an eyebrow at the window in the corridor and said proudly, "I have something to ask you. Come with me."


    Ye zhiqiao had rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, but in order not to be ruined by Li Ruonan today''s good mood, she still followed her and thought that after asking the question, she should not provoke her again. It was better for the two of them to return to the original mutual disregard.


    Li Ruonan stopped in front of the window and turned to look around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he raised his chin and asked, "What is your relationship with gu mohan?"


    What?!!


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and was surprised by Li Ruonan''s straightforwardness, "What''s my relationship with gu mohan? Do I need to report to you?"


    On the surface, however, she calmed down and replied calmly, "You don''t have to worry about this."


    "Stop fooling around with me!" Li Ruonan raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "Don''t think I didn''t see the little bit of mischief between you and gu mohan. Let me tell you, he''s just tired of beautiful women, so sometimes he wants to taste your white lotus style. You''d better not take it seriously. Honestly tell me about your relationship. I promise I won''t make things difficult for you."


    Ye zhiqiao did not know why she was afraid of Li Ruonan''s dilemma, so she shook her head speechless and turned to return to the office.


    Li Ruonan stood alone in the corridor for a long time, getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it.


    She was angry at herself for having to drink so much yesterday that she lost her dignity in front of gu mohan and was fed up with him. She was even more angry at ye zhiqiao, the disgusting white lotus flower. She did not know what she was doing to charm gu mohan and was even driven home by gu mohan himself... Or maybe the two of them did not go home!


    Li Ruonan didn''t understand why gu mohan was so unfair to see both ye zhiqiao and her as newcomers. If he wanted to fire her for a trivial matter, wouldn''t he think about her future?


    But in the end, it was because gu mohan had taken a fancy to ye zhiqiao that he had no mercy to expel her in order to please her. If she could find a way to get gu mohan''s favor, wouldn''t all this be solved? At that time, Li Ruonan, whom gu mohan liked and protected, and ye zhiqiao, who was fired.


    Li Ruonan was very confident in her charm. She believed that if she had the chance, she could make gu mohan fall in love with her.


    So she followed ye zhiqiao into the office, came to ye zhiqiao''s desk, and asked directly, "Where is he now?"


    She gave up the idea of asking about the relationship between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. Even if she knew about it, it would not be good for her. What she had to do now was to get close to gu mohan by all means. Only then would she have the opportunity to arouse gu mohan''s interest.


    Ye zhiqiao was concentrating on making a list of her work plans for the day. Li Ruonan''s sudden voice made her heart tremble and her reaction slowed by half a beat, "Who?"

 Chapter 332 Jealousy Begets Hatred

    "Don''t play dumb with me!" Li Ruonan hated her innocent and innocent appearance and immediately scolded her.


    Her voice attracted the attention of the people in the office, but no one dared to intervene in the matter between the two of them. They were all analyzing the situation from a distance.


    After being yelled at so angrily by her, ye zhiqiao, no matter how stupid, realized that she was referring to gu mohan. She replied honestly with a calm attitude, "I don''t know." This morning, as usual, gu mohan took her halfway and drove away. As for whether he had followed her to the company or gone out to work, she did not know.


    But ye zhiqiao''s short answer sounded perfunctory to Li Ruonan.


    Last night, they left together, chatting and laughing. After a night, they didn''t even know where they were going.!


    Li Ruonan snorted coldly, put his hands on the table, and said impatiently, "You better not lie to me. Tell me everything about him honestly. Otherwise, I can''t guarantee what I will do next."


    Another threat. Ye zhiqiao could no longer remember how many threats she had heard. In short, she was basically immune to these words and her mood would not fluctuate a bit, "I am telling the truth. If you want to find him, you can ask the manager for his cell phone number."


    Ye zhiqiao''s original intention of saying this last sentence was to hope that Li Ruonan would stop pestering her so that she could work at ease, but Li Ruonan seemed to have been poked in the heart of the matter, and immediately exploded into a pot of fire, shouting angrily, "Who said I was looking for him, I just casually asked!!"


    But as soon as she said this, she felt that it was more likely to arouse the suspicion of everyone. In addition, without knowing gu mohan''s itinerary, she suddenly became angrier and rebuked ye zhiqiao, saying, "Do you think that everyone is like you, who sees money and power, and wants to stick to it? Hmph, it''s only a person like you who has never seen the world that is so proud of gu mohan''s kindness!"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to argue with her, but she didn''t want to tolerate it, so she blocked back the words, "You said I haven''t seen the world because you think gu mohan isn''t good enough? But you''re still standing in gu''s building."


    "!"


    Li Ruonan was shocked and suddenly realized that he was so excited that he lost his words that he even brought gu mohan down with him. She was not afraid of what ye zhiqiao would say, but if she offended gu mohan, how would she handle herself in the gu family in the future?


    Between shock and anger, she quickly pointed the spear at ye zhiqiao completely, and explained for her mistake just now, "Are you admitting your relationship with president gu? Heh - ye zhiqiao, you are so disgusting. Do you think that president gu really likes you, just for fun, and you deserve to stand with a man like president gu?! You''d better go home and take a good look at yourself in the mirror, see if your face can last for a few years, and see how many chances you have to sell yourself!"


    "Selling your body" is a word that people in the workplace talk about, but people are afraid to avoid it. This word is ugly but useful; it is useful but despised by most people. Li Ruonan said this to ye zhiqiao in front of everyone. It was too much. No matter how well ye zhiqiao was cultivated, she could not help but feel angry.


    "I didn''t do what you said, and I think that the reason you blurted out this sentence might be to express... Your own thoughts." Ye zhiqiao raised her head and looked at her faintly, but her eyes did not seem weak at all. Instead, they looked as tough as a cattail.


    Li Ruonan was naturally unwilling, and almost immediately retorted, "Stop spitting blood! How dare you say you didn''t sell your seat? Then let me ask you, how did you get into gu''s? I heard that you landed on this position without an interview. Why?"


    The position was arranged by her mother, and it was not obvious. The people in the company tried to hide it. Ye zhiqiao didn''t know where she heard it from, but she really couldn''t explain it.


    "Can''t you say it? Isn''t it embarrassing to be poked at by me?" Li Ruonan finally caught ye zhiqiao''s painful foot, so he would not let it go easily. He immediately said sarcastically, "A scum like you will only affect the normal progress of the company and destroy the internal fair competition. I advise you to get out of the gu family as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you stay shamelessly, no one will look up to you!"


    "That''s enough, Li Ruonan!"


    Before ye zhiqiao could speak, gu chengyan, who had been listening to their conversation for a long time, finally understood the situation and immediately stood up for ye zhiqiao and said, "What does it have to do with you? How clean are you to come out and talk about others? In my opinion, Zhiqiao is not only a little better than you in terms of ability and character. You are the one who should get out of the gu family!"


    "You... You dare to talk about me?" Just as the fight with ye zhiqiao had gained the upper hand, someone suddenly stepped in, and Li Ruonan''s anger quickly burned onto gu chengyan, "What are you? It''s not your turn to speak here!"


    "Hmph!" Gu chengyan snorted, looked at Li Ruonan with contempt and pity and said, "Actually, I understand that you came early in the morning to make things difficult for Zhiqiao. It''s just because gu mohan fell in love with her yesterday and didn''t fall in love with you. You''re just jealous and resentful. But I advise you to restrain yourself, so at least you can maintain the last shred of dignity."


    Li Ruonan had a moment of panic when his thoughts were told, but he tried his best to calm himself down and explained, "What jealousy? I don''t understand what you''re saying. What happened yesterday was just an accident. Do you think that general gu would like a woman like ye zhiqiao? Or you can ask your colleagues here and tell them that president gu likes ye zhiqiao. Who would believe that?"


    It was too noisy in the private room last night, and many people didn''t even notice that gu mohan had been there. Even if a few people saw it, it was also due to gu mohan''s character of not being able to get in touch with others. In the spirit of more things than less things, they tried to reduce their sense of existence and didn''t pay attention to what gu mohan did there, so they naturally didn''t know about the ambiguous relationship between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    So when they heard Li Ruonan''s question, they all shook their heads.


    Li Ruonan raised his lips and raised his eyebrows in protest, "See? No one thinks she has the capital to fly up the tree and become a phoenix. Her dirty tricks can at most help her find a place to stay in the gu family. If she goes up, it''s impossible!"

 Chapter 333 Li Ruonans Backer

    Then, she looked back at ye zhiqiao, her tone full of sarcasm: "Okay, now that you''ve made it clear, do you still have the face to stay here? Better pack up and get out of here!"


    "Speaking of leaving the gu family, I think of another thing..."


    Gu chengyan dragged the long note meaningfully, attracting everyone''s attention, including ye zhiqiao. Then he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yesterday at the restaurant, I seemed to hear president gu telling manager li that... He wanted to fire you, but why haven''t you left yet? Is it..."


    She smiled vaguely and continued, "Is it the backer behind you who helped you put in a good word and put everything in order?"


    The words "Fired" and "Backer" came out of gu chengyan''s mouth and were blatantly in front of so many people that Li Ruonan''s face could not hold on for a moment. The previously forced calm could no longer be maintained, and the panic was written all over his face.


    Yesterday''s farce was indeed taken care of, so she could now stand here safely, but she had just scolded ye zhiqiao in front of her for selling her body. Although she was not selling herself, the essence of going through the back door was the same. If her colleagues knew, wouldn''t she have slapped herself in the face?


    Gu chengyan took a good look at her bewildered look, curled his lips in amusement and continued relentlessly, "If you don''t have a backer, then at this moment, the person who should leave the company should be you. Hmm? Miss li?"


    Gu chengyan continued to provoke and ridicule her. Li Ruonan was so angry that her teeth itched but she could not find a word to refute it. She could only glare at her fiercely and said in a stern voice, "I won''t leave! You can rest assured that even if I leave the gu family one day, it will only be because I have done enough to resign. Otherwise, the gu family will never take the initiative to dismiss me. Anyone of you can be fired, and I will never!"


    Behind her was mother gu, who was even more influential than Mohan gu. At any time, gu mohan would not dare to disrespect her, so she had mother gu''s protection and was not afraid of anyone in the company!


    Since gu chengyan insisted on making her background known to the world, she decided to go along with gu chengyan''s wishes. Anyway, she had the power of a gu mother. Even if others felt unfair, no one would dare to go against her. In the end, she was not going to work so hard to curry favor with her.


    As long as she had the upper hand, what did the true thoughts of those insignificant people have to do with her?


    Li Ruonan''s words were an indirect acknowledgment of her backer, but gu chengyan and others still did not know who her backer was, but ye zhiqiao could guess one or two.


    The person who tried to persuade ye zhiqiao to come to gu''s work was gu''s mother, and Li Ruonan, who was always looking down on her when she came, also followed her. Manager li, who treated her like a class enemy, always smiled like a spring breeze when facing Li Ruonan. Even gu mohan''s stern order to expel Li Ruonan last night was easily ignored...


    Besides mother gu, ye zhiqiao couldn''t think of anyone else who could do this.


    If it was really mother gu, then neither she nor the imposing gu chengyan in front of her could compete with her power. If they continued to entangle, it would only hurt themselves.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know whether gu chengyan was sincere or fake in helping her this time, but since she had helped, she had reason to say something.


    So, she turned to gu chengyan, who was eyeing Li Ruonan, and said, "Chengyan, I forgot where I put the report yesterday. Can you print another one for me?"


    "Hmm?!" Gu chengyan was stunned and did not understand what she meant.


    Li Ruonan was also stunned, surprised that ye zhiqiao suddenly stopped.


    Ye zhiqiao did not go to see Li Ruonan and continued to say to gu chengyan, "Because I have to tidy up and hand it in at ten o'' clock. If I can''t finish it on time, I might get scolded. Can you help me?"


    As she spoke, she smiled gratefully at gu chengyan.


    Gu chengyan still did not understand the situation, but since ye zhiqiao opened her mouth, she naturally could not refute ye zhiqiao''s face, so she nodded happily and agreed, rubbing Li Ruonan''s shoulder and leaving the office.


    After she left, ye zhiqiao lowered her head and continued her previous work, completely treating Li Ruonan as air.


    This kind of disregard, in Li Ruonan''s eyes, was already a sign of compromise. She seriously thought about the reason why ye zhiqiao pushed gu chengyan away and gave in. After a while, she came to a conclusion that ye zhiqiao was frightened by her background.


    That''s right, it must be like this. After she said she would never be fired, ye zhiqiao''s face didn''t look very good. Then she immediately dismissed gu chengyan and put out the war unilaterally. Apart from deliberately holding back for fear of her revenge, she couldn''t find any other explanation.


    Thinking of this, Li Ruonan could not help but laugh at ye zhiqiao''s weakness in her heart. At first, ye zhiqiao dared to confront her face to face, and even offered to compete. She thought ye zhiqiao was a hard bone. Now, it seems that ye zhiqiao was also a lump of pus. She knew that if she could not fight, she would immediately withdraw her army. It was a smart performance, but it could not change the fact that people looked down on her.


    Li Ruonan shook his head and looked disappointed, intentionally or unintentionally.


    But ye zhiqiao didn''t even look at her from the corner of her eye, so naturally she wouldn''t see the mocking expression she made on purpose.


    After the war between the two of them ended, the rest of the colleagues turned their eyes back to work. Ye zhiqiao thought that Li Ruonan would leave immediately if he felt bored. At best, she said some harsh words to disgust people.


    But instead of leaving, Li Ruonan pulled a chair and walked over to her.


    Hearing the movements around her, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but turn around and take a look. She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off.


    She actually saw... Li Ruonan smiling at her...


    And it was a smile, a kind smile, no disdain, no ridicule, no hostility at all like the kind of smile between friends!


    Ye zhiqiao thought she was dazed and blinked hard to look at it again. The result was the same. The smile on Li Ruonan''s face was the same as the one painted on it. There was no change at all.


    "You... What are you doing?" After a long time, she shrank back and stuttered.


    "Ah, it''s like this..." Li Ruonan rubbed his finger against the tip of his nose and said softly, "I was a little excited just now. You know, I''m just impatient. I can''t hide anything in my heart. Maybe there''s something wrong with you. I hope you can bear it."

 Chapter 334 Li Ruonan Made a Gesture of Goodwill

    Ye zhiqiao stared at Li Ruonan for a long time. Her expression was mixed with shock, doubt, fear and rejection. Li Ruonan, who was sitting across from her, could definitely sense her resistance, but she couldn''t take it into consideration. She just wanted to figure out what kind of bad things Li Ruonan was trying to do.


    However, Li Ruonan''s expression had always been so sincere and did not show any flaws. Ye zhiqiao had no choice but to laugh dryly and look back.


    Seeing that she was about to start work again, Li Ruonan became anxious and quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Hey Zhiqiao, stop working, let''s talk?"


    Speak?! Ye zhiqiao''s inner activity at that time was: "Heh - what else do you have to say to me?"


    She shook her head and replied politely, "I''m sorry, my mission is a little urgent."


    "It doesn''t matter. If you can''t hand it in, I''ll tell manager li that we are all in the same department. We should help each other and understand each other!" Li Ruonan took the pen from her hand and said with a big smile.


    "Hehe." Ye zhiqiao forced out a fake smile and waved her hand."


    The words sounded good, but the meaning of rejection was equally obvious.


    The olive branch was thrown back several times, but Li Ruonan was not unhappy at all, or rather, she did not show any displeasure on her face.


    After the argument, she calmed down and realized one thing. Whether she admitted it or not, gu mohan''s attention was on ye zhiqiao, and even the two of them might already have a closer relationship, so it was pointless for her to attack ye zhiqiao and embarrass her. Gu mohan still wouldn''t notice her, even if he did, He would only remember the bad things that happened in the restaurant last night.


    So her priority was to meet gu mohan first, preferably in private, and then she could take the opportunity to explain yesterday''s misunderstanding to gu mohan. After that, the plan to snatch gu mohan from ye zhiqiao could be carried out.


    It was because of this that she suddenly changed her attitude and showed her affection to ye zhiqiao.


    However, since it was useless to beat around the bush, she simply told ye zhiqiao directly.


    "Zhiqiao, I just thought about it carefully. Actually, there''s not much friction between us, and I don''t know why it has developed to this state. We go to work in the company to live, there''s no need to make things difficult for each other, don''t you think?"


    Her simple request to reconcile really surprised ye zhi once more.


    Ye zhiqiao guessed several reasons, but she still couldn''t figure out her purpose. In that case, ye zhiqiao didn''t keep her mouth shut and said directly, "You''re right, we really don''t need to do this, but Ruonan... Of course, but if you''re friends..."


    She chuckled and picked on her eyelids, "I''m too petty, too vulgar. I don''t deserve to be friends with a lady like you."


    The last four words, which she deliberately chose at the end, were not self-deprecating, but full of sarcasm. As for what she was sarcastic about, how could Li Ruonan not know?


    "Petty," "Vulgar," "Unworthy of being with me" these words, Li Ruonan had said to ye zhiqiao personally, and in front of the entire department''s colleagues, at this time ye zhiqiao said this, clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to retaliate


    Shameless!!


    Li Ruonan cursed in her heart and almost slapped the table. However, if she could not bear it, she would make a big mistake. For the sake of gu mohan, who she had always dreamed of, she tried her best to hold back her anger and clenched her hand under the table into a fist.


    "Why are you bringing this up again? It''s just a few jokes. You don''t really care, do you?"


    Ye zhiqiao said seriously, "But I''m sorry, I don''t think it''s funny."


    "You..." After a few chokes, Li Ruonan''s tone did not seem gentle. He raised his voice and said, "All right, ye zhiqiao, they all said it was a joke. Do you want me to apologize to you for a few jokes that I don''t know when or when? Don''t be too narrow-minded. I really want to make up with you. Let''s talk about the matter and not talk about the past misunderstandings, okay?"


    Her attitude was finally gradually disintegrated, and ye zhiqiao felt that the time was right, so she let go and said, "I don''t mean anything else. Since you don''t want to mention it, forget it. As for reconciliation, of course I would like to."


    "That''s more like it." Li Ruonan lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, then returned to his smiling face, "Then we will be friends in the future, or... Let''s talk about our own situation and get to know each other!"


    Talk about the recent situation?


    Ye zhiqiao curled her lips and smiled lightly. It seemed that apart from the relationship with gu mohan discovered by Li Ruonan last night, she had nothing to be interested in, right?


    No wonder they had to reconcile. It turned out that they had to go around to get close to gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao finally understood Li Ruonan''s purpose and could not help but sneer in her heart. This Li Ruonan was not sure whether he was smart or stupid. He knew that he could not make a hard move and immediately took a detour to show his kindness. But as soon as she let go, Li Ruonan couldn''t even tell whether she was sincere or fake and immediately revealed her purpose. Wasn''t this sending her shortcomings to her to hold?


    Ye zhiqiao was not a proper person. She was not weak, but she was willing to forgive others. However, Li Ruonan had repeatedly provoked her, and now she pretended to be nice. This act of using her as a fool really made her unhappy, so she was prepared to let Li Ruonan taste the taste of being played!


    So she smiled and said happily, "Okay, let''s talk about you first." As she spoke, she approached Li Ruonan and pretended to be gossiping in a low voice, "You said you would never be fired. Is there really someone at the top of the company? Can you tell me how you got along with the people up there?"


    "Why are you asking this?" Li Ruonan asked suspiciously.


    Ye zhiqiao spread out her hands and replied indifferently, "Just ask, because I think that the situation that gu chengyan said just now is also very likely. You are so young and beautiful. If you want to make good relations with your boss, it should be easy, right?"


    Then she squeezed her eyes at Li Ruonan, and the hint was obvious.

 Chapter 335 Take the Initiative

    Sell your body. This was what Li Ruonan had just said to her colleagues. Now she didn''t need them to testify. She just needed Li Ruonan to admit it herself. It was a small counterattack to Li Ruonan''s hateful behavior.


    Li Ruonan heard the mockery in her words, and his face immediately darkened. He did not know if it was because he was too angry or did not want to destroy the friendship between his colleagues who had just "Harmonious" and did not fight back. Instead, he glared at ye zhiqiao fiercely, as if he had regained his usual hostility.


    This time, all the friendliness she had tried to conceal just now collapsed in an instant. When ye zhi happened to see that she was about to lose her pretense, she "Smoothed things out" and said, "Eh? Are you unhappy? Don''t be like that. I''m just joking. Don''t be so ridiculous! I only asked casually because I really thought of you as a friend. Why don''t we change the subject?"


    There was no mirror on ye zhiqiao''s desk. If she could see her expression now, she would be impressed by her acting skills.


    This green tea bitch''s appearance, she explained it perfectly!


    Ye zhiqiao could hide her forbearance, but who was Li Ruonan with this personality? It was good that ye zhiqiao could suppress her anger before, but now she was mocked and teased. How could she stand it?


    As soon as ye zhiqiao finished speaking, Li Ruonan immediately shook off ye zhiqiao''s arm and stood up abruptly. His face was dark and green with anger, "Who wants to joke with you?! Ye zhiqiao, you did it on purpose, didn''t you? Okay, okay! You won!!"


    She pointed at ye zhiqiao with her finger, then turned around and walked away, kicking the chair she had brought over.


    Colleagues around her were used to seeing her throw a tantrum at ye zhiqiao, which was no surprise. Only gu chengyan ran to ye zhiqiao immediately after she left and gave her a thumbs-up compliment, "So handsome, Zhiqiao! I almost heard what you said just now. You are my idol. After being oppressed by her for so long, today is considered revenge!"


    Punishing Li Ruonan, ye zhiqiao''s mood was indeed a lot more balanced, but not as happy as gu chengyan''s great revenge.


    For gu chengyan''s praise, ye zhiqiao only nodded lightly and then reminded him, "Go to work. Manager li will scold you when he sees you."


    After letting gu chengyan leave, ye zhiqiao''s ears finally calmed down. The joyful emotions she had accumulated since last night had been consumed by the early morning turmoil. She spent an hour dealing with the work at hand at high speed and efficiency, and then looked out the window absent-mindedly.


    She was thinking about a problem. She felt that she and Li Ruonan couldn''t go on like this. In the past, Li Ruonan only bullied her at work, and she couldn''t cope with it. Now Li Ruonan was about to get involved in her personal relationship. In the long run, wouldn''t her life be messed up by Li Ruonan?


    Although she was confident that gu mohan was not the kind of person who would change his mind, the presence of Li Ruonan, like a fly running to the dining table, made people uncomfortable, so she had to find a way to end this situation.


    Be friends with Li Ruonan?


    That''s absolutely impossible. It was obvious from Li Ruonan''s feigned goodwill that it was difficult for them to be friends with masks on, let alone return to peace.


    Since we can''t get along well, there''s only one way left. She had to turn the passive into the active and let Li Ruonan back off before things got out of hand.


    Just as ye zhiqiao had made up her mind, gu mohan''s phone call came from the other side. Since the two of them had agreed to hide their relationship, gu mohan would definitely not call during office hours if there was nothing important, something important must have happened.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly picked up the vibrating phone and rushed into the bathroom. After closing the door, she immediately answered, "Mohan?"


    "Oh, Zhiqiao, am I scared to call you at this time?" Gu mohan''s unhurried voice came through the phone, as if there were no special circumstances.


    Ye zhiqiao was relieved and asked, "Are you still fighting?"


    Gu mohan chuckled softly. His clear laughter was completely infuriating. He then said, "It''s not just to cause trouble. I have some inside information to tell you."


    "Insider information?" Ye zhiqiao frowned and said unhappily, "I don''t want it. Don''t use your power for personal gain!"


    Gu mohan knew that as long as he mentioned this, ye zhiqiao would definitely explode. However, when he imagined ye zhiqiao''s angry eyes staring at him, he couldn''t help but laugh, and then he laughed in a low voice for a long time before explaining, "Putting your heart in your stomach is not a matter of principle. I just want to tell you that my father is going to the company later. You should work hard and not go against that Li Ruonan. My father is very strict with his subordinates. If he catches you, I can''t help you even if you really want me to."


    So, ye zhiqiao realized that she had misunderstood gu mohan, so she smiled embarrassingly, "I know, I will pay attention."


    "Okay, if you know, go back to work. I have a meeting next. I''ll see you at home tonight." Gu mohan said dotingly.


    Ye zhiqiao took a long breath and promised with a smile, "Yes, you should work hard too."


    Then they said goodbye, and ye zhiqiao walked to the office with her phone.


    But while walking on the road, ye zhiqiao suddenly flashed with a bright light, thinking about the matter that gu father was about to come to the company, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the best time to help her deal with Li Ruonan!


    In particular, the description of gu mohan on the phone to gu father made ye zhiqiao immediately come to her mind.


    When she returned to her desk and sat down, ye zhiqiao looked to the left and found that Li Ruonan had returned. She was secretly happy, "God has helped me!" After that, she raised her hand calmly to greet gu chengyan. Her voice was not so low that several colleagues even cast dissatisfied glances at her.


    But this time, ye zhiqiao had to temporarily abandon her quality, and even when she spoke to gu chengyan, her voice remained within the range that her colleagues could hear.


    "What''s the matter, ah zhi qiao?" Upon receiving ye zhiqiao''s call, gu chengyan immediately ran over happily.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, was shy and excited, "Chengyan, can you do me a favor? Just now, president gu called to say that he would be right over and insisted that I pick him up. But I still have a contract that I haven''t checked. It''s really not free, so can you help me pick him up downstairs?"

 Chapter 336 Scheming

    "President gu? Gu mohan, president gu?" Gu chengyan asked in surprise.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled meaningfully and did not answer, but she knew that Li Ruonan, who was listening to the corner on the left, must have thought that she had acquiesced to gu chengyan''s question.


    She decided to add a little more fire and added, "By the way, he might be here soon. Why don''t you take this time to fix your makeup? You can make a good impression."


    Gu chengyan did not see her disguise and waved his hand happily, "No, no, no. What''s the good impression? Just do what you need to do. I''ll go down now."


    With that said, gu chengyan left the office with quick steps.


    Ye zhiqiao thanked gu chengyan once again, then lowered her head and continued to work, but the corner of her eye was still shining. Still, he noticed the familiar figure standing up and leaving lightly.


    He''s hooked!


    She was overjoyed, but she did not forget to call gu chengyan and ask her to come back.


    Gu chengyan was very surprised to be called back in less than five minutes after ye zhiqiao had just ordered him to go out for work, but when she asked about ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao only smiled mysteriously and was not prepared to explain.


    As long as ye zhiqiao didn''t want to speak, no matter what other people tried, it was useless. After spending so much time with ye zhiqiao, gu chengyan had already figured out her temper. Since he couldn''t ask, he had no choice but to stop asking. No matter what ye zhiqiao planned, he could always see it in the future.


    Gu chengyan returned to his desk to continue his unfinished work. Ye zhiqiao was also reading a contract carefully. At this time, Li Ruonan had just put on a heavy red lip makeup in the bathroom and was taking the elevator downstairs.


    Gu mohan was coming. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could she have let gu chengyan steal it? So she specially dressed up to make gu mohan''s eyes light up and compare gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao!


    Down to the first floor, Li Ruonan swayed toward the door with her small, thousand-year-old heels.


    But...


    She walked to the door of the company and looked around, then went back to the hall and looked around until she returned to the position facing the door of the company, and did not see gu chengyan or gu mohan.


    She wondered, "What''s going on? Is gu mohan not here yet? But even if gu mohan hadn''t arrived, gu chengyan was already waiting here."


    Just as she was filled with suspicion and was about to go to the front desk to ask, the huge glass door opened in front of her. A man in a black suit with grey-haired hair was walking towards her majestically.


    Of course, this man is not gu mohan, but his surname is also gu.


    Li Ruonan''s face froze and her legs went limp. She had faintly realized that she had been tricked.


    But now that she was no more than three meters away from her father, it was impossible for her to turn around and leave immediately, and he had been staring straight at her from the moment he entered the door, looking rather discontented.


    Of course, in her own company, it was working hours, the staff were not in the office to work hard for the company, but dressed up and stood idly at the door of the company. She was not a welcoming lady, not looking for scolding.


    Li Ruonan knew that he could not escape this time, so he had to go up to him and put on a professional smile to say hello to his father, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, father gu frowned and interrupted her. "Why are you here?" He asked in a deep voice. Remember that the position your aunt arranged for you was in the sales department?"


    Li Ruonan was on good terms with his mother, so his father had heard of her, but he didn''t see her often and didn''t have a deep impression.


    Father gu had been in charge of the company for decades, and his demeanor had been honed over the years. Both his tone and posture made people subconsciously feel oppressed, and this time Li Ruonan was in the wrong, so naturally he shrank even more. When he explained, he had no momentum at all, "Uncle... Oh no, president gu... I... I... I heard that you were coming, so I came specially... To pick you up..."


    Father gu frowned even more and asked, "Who sent you here?"


    "Li..." Li Ruonan was about to say "Manager li," but on second thought, if gu father asked about manager li and knew that she was lying, the consequences would be more serious. He had to bite his lip and say honestly, "It''s me... Myself..."


    Father gu said "Yes." He didn''t ask any more questions. He just said, "I don''t need a special reception." Then he turned his back and missed Li Ruonan, heading for the elevator.


    After gu fu left, the air pressure around Li Ruonan immediately returned to normal. She reached out and wiped her forehead, only to find that there was already a layer of cold sweat on it. In retrospect, she did not know how she insisted on sitting on the ground without bending her knees, but what she knew was that because of this, gu father''s impression of her would definitely be greatly reduced!


    But it had already happened, and it was useless for her to regret it. What she had to do now was to find the person who framed her to such a degree - ye zhiqiao!!!


    "Ye zhiqiao!"


    Li Ruonan roared, all eyes in the office fell on her, then followed her, and unanimously turned to ye zhiqiao.


    It was common for her to fight and quarrel with ye zhiqiao, but it was the first time they had seen her in such a rage and disregard for her image. Everyone did not dare to look at her in the open, but they all used their afterglow to pay attention to her movements.


    However, she was not in the mood to care about other people''s opinions, the only thing she wanted to do was to find ye zhiqiao, that bitch, and take revenge!


    She walked through half of the office and stormed in front of ye zhiqiao. She grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up forcefully.


    The crowd was startled and thought they were going to fight. Gu chengyan hurried forward to dissuade them. Ye zhiqiao shook her head at gu chengyan, then raised her hand, brushed Li Ruonan''s hand away and asked softly, "What are you doing? This is the company. Your quality and your nobility are all gone?"


    "What do I want? What else could I have if I had been tricked by you like that?!" Li Ruonan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ye zhiqiao, I didn''t expect you to be such a little person! Why on earth did you do this to me? Say it!"


    Ye zhiqiao pretended not to understand, "What did I do to you?"


    "Stop pretending. You just told gu chengyan that gu mohan was coming to the company to trick me into going down, didn''t you? But the person who came was not gu mohan at all, but his father. Did you expect all this?!" Li Ruonan stared into ye zhiqiao''s eyes and asked.

 Chapter 337 To Form an Alliance

    "Ah?" Ye zhiqiao immediately showed a surprised expression, opened her eyes wide and asked, "Is the person who came here uncle? Is that my mistake? Oh, I''m so sorry... But..."


    She turned to look at Li Ruonan in puzzlement and asked, "What if uncle comes? Whether it''s uncle or gu mohan, I didn''t seem to have informed you. Why did you... Dress up like this?"


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao had already set up a trap, and Li Ruonan was doomed to be unable to turn over as long as she got in. Ye zhiqiao never told her what gu mohan was coming. She had been tricked by ye zhiqiao, thinking that she had overheard some secret and had cleverly followed the path that ye zhiqiao had arranged, so she finally fell on her back and couldn''t blame ye zhiqiao, at least from a bystander''s point of view. This matter had nothing to do with ye zhiqiao.


    Li Ruonan was speechless. There was nothing she could do but sulk at ye zhiqiao, but ye zhiqiao kept looking at her with a puzzled look, which made her teeth itch with hatred, while the colleagues around her couldn''t figure out the truth.


    She simply broke down and screamed in a shrill voice, "Can you control me?! I''ll dress up as I please. If you don''t like me, I''ll scold you. I''ll be happy to!"


    Ye zhiqiao helplessly spread out her hands, indicating that she would do as she pleased.


    Before Li Ruonan could continue to vent his anger on ye zhiqiao, the announcement that the company had not used for several months suddenly rang without warning. The voice of artificial intelligence was enunciated clearly, with a mechanical indifference.


    "Ding-dong - notice - the staff of the gu group, please pay attention to this. Here is a disciplinary decision: this morning at 10: 00 am, Li Ruonan, the sales staff, left his job without permission. The company has decided to report and criticize him once. If there is a next time, fire him immediately, and ask the other staff to take warning -"


    ...


    The broadcast was broadcast twice. Ye zhiqiao, gu chengyan and all the staff in the office witnessed Li Ruonan''s face turning from green to red and from red to black.


    No one dared to make a sound, ye zhiqiao also stopped like a good person and quietly sat back on the chair to start working. The rest of the people also followed ye zhiqiao''s appearance and worked in silence, afraid that an inadvertent look would provoke Li Ruonan, who was obviously furious at this moment.


    After a few seconds of silence, a series of hurried footsteps gradually drifted away until the door of the office was slammed and the air in the room finally circulated again.


    When father gu arrived, manager li was sure to meet him, and he had to communicate with manager li about the criticism of the sales staff. Li Ruonan guessed that he should be in the conference room now and rushed over at top speed.


    The conference room was on the third floor. When Li Ruonan passed, a group of senior executives were following gu father inside. She quickly stopped manager li and pulled him aside to explain what had happened.


    But the big boss of the company was waiting inside. Manager li didn''t have the heart to talk to her. "Tsk," he said," it''s all over." What else is there to explain? It''s okay. It''s just a notice. It''s not a punishment."


    Manager li said it was because he was at the top and any blemish on his resume would affect the future of a newcomer like Li Ruonan who was about to be promoted. Even if Li Ruonan could erase all of this with her connections, she couldn''t swallow her breath. She couldn''t just let go of what ye zhi had planned!


    Li ruonan held manager li''s hand and said quickly, "No, this can''t be blamed on me. It was ye zhiqiao who framed me. She insisted that I go down to take over president gu. If I had to be punished, I should have punished her!"


    "Oh, my little aunt..." Manager li put his index finger between his lips to signal Li Ruonan to keep quiet, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "You still think I''m not in enough trouble, don''t you? Do you know that our old Mr. Gu dislikes the sloppy attitude of the staff the most? Just because of you, I just got a scolding, and you want to bring another ye zhiqiao in, you want to kill me?!"


    "But... That can''t be unreasonable, manager li. Please tell the truth to president gu and clear my name, okay?"


    "No, no! No matter how many times you say it." Manager li waved her hand away and tidied up her suit, "If you have the time, go back to work. It''s the right thing to do."


    With that, he watched Li Ruonan shake his head and walk into the conference room.


    Li ruonan would be rejected, and anyone with a little brain would understand that this is inevitable, but Li Ruonan was originally not high eq, but at this time, she was still angry, she could not vent her anger, and then angrily walked to the office, ready to find ye zhiqiao to settle the score.


    At this time, the office was still as quiet as when she left, only ye zhiqiao''s position, occasionally heard the sound of whispering.


    Gu chengyan sat on the chair in front of ye zhiqiao''s desk and turned around to exclaim, "Zhiqiao, I really didn''t realize that you were so powerful before. Yesterday, Li Ruonan was still so powerful. Today, he was punished twice in less than a morning. There are still unspeakable bitterness. I really admire you!"


    Gu chengyan''s words were absolutely true. The others didn''t know about the series of things that Li Ruonan had just been criticized. She understood that ye zhiqiao had no reason to ask her for help to pick up Mohan, but she called her back in the middle. At that time, she couldn''t see anything, but when it came to Li Ruonan''s various performances, the fool could understand that ye zhiqiao was deliberately dealing with Li Ruonan.


    She had used many methods to deal with ye zhiqiao before, including the way she got along with ye zhiqiao when she was still in ye yi yu. She knew that ye zhiqiao had a lively mind, but she never knew that ye zhiqiao would use this kind of method. Today, what ye zhiqiao did really shocked her.


    In addition to her shock, she made the next decision in her heart.


    She looked around and saw that everyone was busy without anyone noticing here. Then she approached ye zhiqiao and said in a low voice, "Zhiqiao, look, you hate Li Ruonan so much. I also find her very unpleasant. Why don''t we form an alliance and deal with her together in the future?"


    "Form an alliance?"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and asked with a surprised face, "Why should we form an alliance?"


    Although she didn''t want Li Ruonan to disturb her life all the time and was ready to fight Li Ruonan to the end, it was essentially different from joining forces with others to deal with Li Ruonan. She just wanted to be safe and didn''t want to take the initiative to challenge Li Ruonan.

 Chapter 338 Her Enemy

    "Because she always bullies us? We have to fight back together!" Gu chengyan took it for granted.


    On the surface, what she said was true, but ye zhiqiao still found it strange. After thinking for a while, she finally caught the flash of doubt in her head and asked, "But there seems to be no actual conflict between you and Li Ruonan, right? The reason she''s targeting you is also to deal with me, so... You don''t really have to do this."


    Li Ruonan had even tried to pull gu chengyan over. Gu chengyan himself disagreed and insisted on standing beside ye zhiqiao to confront Li Ruonan.


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the weirder she felt. In fact, gu chengyan did not need to do this at all. Even if gu chengyan and li ruonan were working together to harm her, there was no need to form an alliance with her at all.


    As ye zhiqiao became more and more suspicious, gu chengyan became anxious. She did not know that ye zhiqiao suspected that she and Li Ruonan were conspiring. She was worried that her real identity would be exposed.


    The reason why she immediately joined forces with ye zhiqiao after seeing Li Ruonan was because she had a conflict with Li Ruonan when she was still in ye yi language.


    At that time, she was held in the hands of miss ye, and Li Ruonan was also born with a golden spoon. Both of their families were in the business world, and both of their personalities were domineering and did not put anyone in their eyes. They met several times in public places such as cocktail parties, ball auctions, and so on, and the conflict naturally arose.


    This was the reason she had to deal with Li Ruonan, but she could not tell ye zhiqiao the truth about these things.


    "I... I was afraid you wouldn''t be able to beat her alone. Although you have the upper hand this time, the next time Li Ruonan is on guard, what if you miss? It''s safer to have a companion."


    Gu chengyan''s excuse was not very good, it could not be said that it was full of loopholes, but ye zhiqiao also immediately noticed the twinkle in her eyes, which was a sign of lying.


    She was unwilling to tell the truth, and ye zhiqiao was too lazy to ask any more questions. Instead of being an ally, she might as well just refuse. So, ye zhiqiao shook her head and said calmly, "I believe I can deal with her on my own. If I don''t need your help, as an ally, both sides need to feel loyal, but I think..."


    She tilted her head and smiled, "We shouldn''t be able to do that."


    "Hey Zhiqiao!" After being rejected, gu chengyan immediately panicked. She didn''t have the good brain of ye zhiqiao. If she fought against Li Ruonan alone, she might be held back by the other party. She had to win over ye zhiqiao as a partner.


    His lips moved a few times, and gu chengyan''s face turned a little red. In the end, he had no choice but to stick his neck and say, "Because we are enemies! I want to make an alliance with you because I have a grudge against Li Ruonan before."


    Ye zhiqiao thought of many possibilities, but she did not expect gu chengyan to have a grudge against Li Ruonan!


    But Li Ruonan''s family was so well off that it was written on her resume how gu chengyan, who grew up in a middle class family, hated her.


    Not to mention that ye zhiqiao did not know that gu chengyan was ye yiyu, even if she did, she knew very little about ye yiyu''s previous life, and it was impossible to think of this.


    Ye zhiqiao was even more confused at once, so she continued to ask, "How did you form a grudge? Can you tell me?"


    Gu chengyan secretly supported his forehead and thought to himself, seeing ye zhiqiao''s questioning posture, could she not tell her?


    However, this time, she could not tell ye zhiqiao the truth, or her true identity would be exposed, so she casually made up a safer excuse.


    "Just... I studied abroad, you know? At that time, I didn''t have much money to live on, so I worked in a restaurant, and I happened to meet Li Ruonan. I made a mistake, and she didn''t give up on me. Everyone was chinese, and they were like family in a foreign country, so I was made so difficult by her. I really felt bad because she lost that job."


    In order to prevent ye zhiqiao from looking for an opportunity to verify with Li Ruonan, she added in the end, "But that was a few years ago. She must have long forgotten that she hurt an ordinary chinese student, but the harm she did to me, I will never forget."


    It was a very touching and inspirational story. Ye zhiqiao couldn''t tell the truth of the incident for a moment, but she had already given her the reason she wanted. Next, she had to make a decision - should she form an alliance with gu chengyan?


    The answer was definitely no.


    The reason why she asked gu chengyan about the alliance was that she saw that gu chengyan had something to hide and wanted to make things difficult on purpose. She had no intention of agreeing to the alliance from the beginning.


    The reason was simple. Although gu chengyan had been very obedient to her during his time at the gu family, she had not forgotten what gu chengyan had tried to do to her!


    The only reason why gu chengyan was staying with her was because he had been doing well recently. If she had really changed, she would have given her the chance to do so, and if gu chengyan was still stubborn, she would have been on guard.


    But at this time, gu chengyan''s desire to cooperate was very strong, and she had answered the question according to her request just now. If she continued to refuse now, she would probably provoke gu chengyan.


    Now, we have to delay the policy and appease gu chengyan, so ye zhiqiao deliberately put on a troubled expression and muttered softly, "Oh, Li Ruonan is really too much. If it was me, I would probably hate it, but... About the alliance... Chengyan, can you give me time to think about it? After all, this is not a child''s play."


    Hearing that she wanted to consider it, gu chengyan did not have any doubts or dissatisfaction, but nodded his head in agreement and said repeatedly, "Of course, we should consider it. We are going to work together for a long time. We should take it seriously."


    Gu chengyan was telling the truth. If ye zhiqiao agreed to him immediately after hearing her story, she might even suspect that ye zhiqiao was perfunctory. At this time, ye zhiqiao said that she had to think about it, but she was instantly relieved. In her opinion, this proved that ye zhiqiao believed her words and valued the cooperation after.


    "Then let''s make a deal. You have to give me an answer as soon as you think about it?" Gu chengyan smiled.


    Ye zhiqiao tucked her broken hair behind her ear and nodded.

 Chapter 339 Womens War

    "Ye zhiqiao!!!"


    Just as ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan were looking at each other with their own thoughts, a piercing cry suddenly appeared at the office door and looked over with their colleagues. Then they saw Li Ruonan rushing in with a fierce momentum. Regardless of the surprise of others, he rushed straight at ye zhiqiao.


    In less than an hour, she was first startled by gu father, then criticized in front of the whole company, and then explained to the manager and was rejected. Li Ruonan had never been so angry since she was a child, but she could not find the leader to vent, so she could only come back and continue to find fault with ye zhiqiao.


    After all, it was certain that ye zhi happened to harm her!


    Seeing that the scene of just grabbing the collar was about to repeat itself, ye zhi nimbly stood up from the chair and took a few steps back. She separated herself from Li Ruonan by a meter, then pretended to be helpless and asked, "What''s wrong with you? Didn''t you make it clear just now? Is it over? This is the company, not the place to settle your personal grievances."


    Before Li Ruonan could say anything, ye zhiqiao had taught her a lesson. How could she bear it? She immediately choked and said, "Don''t be so wicked as to tell the truth! Today, you know better than anyone else. I tell you, ye zhiqiao, as long as I, Li Ruonan, am still in this company for a day, you will never think about it!!"


    Heh - originally because of Li Ruonan''s dilemma, ye zhiqiao did not have a good life. How could she live in the future?


    She raised her shoulders to show that she didn''t care.


    Li Ruonan was even more angry at her appearance, and she was about to rush over again. This time, before ye zhiqiao could react, gu chengyan had already stepped in front of her.


    Having just agreed to consider cooperation, gu chengyan was obviously anxious to show himself in front of ye zhiqiao. At this time, Li Ruonan, who had rushed over stupidly, became her stepping stone.


    Gu chengyan raised his chin and asked Li Ruonan, "What are you doing? Isn''t it enough to report a criticism? Zhiqiao has been working very hard here, but you have come here time and time again to pick a fight. Do you want me to talk to president gu about this?"


    It was good that she didn''t mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Li Ruonan thought of picking someone up. He immediately frowned and asked, "By the way, ye zhiqiao asked you to pick someone up. Where did you go?! Why aren''t you there?"


    "Cut!" Gu chengyan chuckled and curled his lips, "Where do you care where I go? Anyway, I just didn''t get criticized. It''s such a shame. If I had to find a hole to drill in, I wouldn''t have the face to come back."


    "Who are you calling a disgrace?!" Li Ruonan was stabbed in the pain and immediately bristled. He jumped his feet and asked sternly, "Will I do this because you and ye zhiqiao that bitch deliberately played tricks on me?! If you have the guts to do it, you have the guts to admit it. Don''t be a coward! Tell president gu if you can!"


    Gu chengyan shook his head and asked, "Why are we going there? Dressed up like a pheasant, it was you who ran downstairs to pick up the people. Did we force you..."


    "Pa -"


    In the middle of gu chengyan''s sentence, a heavy slap hit her left cheek. Her head was deflected, and screams and gasps were heard all around her.


    Even ye zhiqiao, who was standing behind gu chengyan, subconsciously covered her mouth and forgot to move.


    Gu chengyan kept his head tilted for about five seconds, and the air in the office seemed to freeze. Li Ruonan, who was standing opposite him, was still arrogant and did not feel any guilt for what he had done. He even cocked his mouth proudly, as if to say, "I just hit you. What can you do?"


    Just as she was gloating over the undisguised enemy, gu chengyan, who was standing still in front of her, suddenly seemed to have gone mad. He raised his arms and rushed straight at her, so fast that no one else in the office could make a sound.


    Bang!!"


    There was a dull sound of his body touching the ground, followed by the sound of objects scattered on the table.


    This time, even the exclamation completely disappeared, and everyone stared at Li Ruonan lying on the ground, ready to see what she would do after gu chengyan retaliated.


    One second...


    Two seconds...


    Three seconds...


    The sound of sobbing finally came from the ground.


    Then, Li Ruonan curled up, one hand covering his side face, and slowly and mechanically twisted his body -


    "Ah!! Blood!!!"


    Someone exclaimed, and then everyone turned their eyes to Li Ruonan''s hand, which was covering their face. A few strands of red liquid were slowly seeping through the white fingers.


    Li Ruonan''s face was hurt!!!


    When they heard of this situation, they immediately panicked and rushed forward to help her up. A kind colleague asked her to take her hand away to look at the injury, but as soon as she touched her hand covering her face, she felt like she had been stabbed and cursed at the top of her voice.


    "Bastard! Bastard! Gu chengyan, ye zhiqiao, I won''t let you go! If there''s something wrong with my face, I''ll disfigure all of you! Disfigured!!"


    She screamed at the top of her lungs and soon attracted staff from other departments. Not long after, manager li, who was in a meeting, heard the news and rushed back.


    Before entering. Manager li still had a dark face and was ready to deal with the people who had caused trouble for him in front of president gu, but when he saw Li Ruonan''s disfigured and shrew look, there was nothing he could do about it.


    He dared not teach Li Ruonan a lesson, so he had to discuss in a low voice, "All right, Ruonan, go to the hospital now. If anything happens, I will punish them immediately... No, no, no, even if it''s okay, this punishment must be given! There are a lot of things going on in the company today. Can you be considerate?"


    Okay? Of course not!


    Li Ruonan had never been afraid of anyone, and had never treated him as a superior before. He had just rejected her request, and she was so angry that she was worried about nowhere to go. Now that she was injured, she immediately took advantage of everything. At this time, the fool would agree to his coordination!


    "I don''t! My face is like this, they have to give me an explanation, and... And they dare to be so arrogant, it has nothing to do with the indulgence of their superiors, you... You all have to give me an explanation!!"


    Well, this time, Li Ruonan was at a disadvantage. No matter what manager li said, it didn''t work. He just wanted to say it, but he couldn''t understand what he wanted to say.


    Manager li wanted to put the matter under control. After all, if this kind of internal conflict in the department was seen by Mr. Gu, who had only visited the company for 800 years, he would be punished. However, Li Ruonan''s noise was so loud that many other departments were attracted. In a few minutes, Mr. Gu would surely know.

 Chapter 340 Gu Mohans Treatment

    Manager li felt that it was better for him to invite Mr. Gu personally than to let him hear about the situation from others. Although a scolding was inevitable, there was no other way.


    When they heard that manager li was going to invite Mr. Gu, the onlookers ran back to their offices, and even the sales staff immediately acted as if they were not concerned about their own business, fearing that they might offend the strict and famous Mr. Gu.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, mingled with the leaving crowd and quietly left the office.


    In this case, she must be able to avoid her father, regardless of whether li ruonan will bite her out or manager li will make her more responsible when explaining the situation, she had better not show up.


    First, Li Ruonan''s injury was between Li Ruonan and gu chengyan, not directly related to her. Secondly, she did intend to deceive Li Ruonan and make her look bad just now, which was definitely a question in gu father''s heart. If she was really confronted with Li Ruonan, even if Li Ruonan had no evidence, gu father would definitely be able to figure out the cause and effect.


    As for the third point, when the sales department was in such a mess, gu''s father''s dissatisfaction would not be directed at just one person. It would be too much trouble and disrupt the company''s order. The managers and staff of the sales department had no good fruit to eat. Gu''s father would not like to see anyone. Her relationship with gu mohan had not been approved by the gu family. It would be harmful to appear in front of gu''s father at this time.


    As it turned out, all of her worries were fulfilled.


    When father gu arrived at the sales department, his face was livid. Before manager li could say anything, he had already scolded everyone in the office. After listening to manager li''s explanation, he was even more furious. He scolded manager li again, then shook his hand and asked gu mohan to come back to settle it.


    When gu mohan received his father''s order, he immediately drove over in a hurry and rejected an agreed negotiation.


    In addition to caring about the company''s situation, he was most worried about ye zhiqiao.


    The person on the phone didn''t make it clear. He only said that the injured person was Li Ruonan. He knew that Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao had a bad relationship. He was afraid that this matter had something to do with ye zhiqiao. If that was the case, he had to think of ways to protect ye zhiqiao.


    It was only when he walked into the sales department manager''s office and saw that only Li Ruonan, who was covering his face with his hair and red eyes, and gu chengyan, who was indifferent to him, and manager li, who was scared and sweating all over, did he finally let go of his worries.


    Originally, it had nothing to do with ye zhiqiao, so things would be much easier to handle.


    Seeing him come in, Li Ruonan stopped crying and even felt that his image was a little sloppy. He reached out to caress his hair and said to him with a crying voice, "President gu, you have to make the decision for me, gu chengyan... Gu chengyan hit someone..."


    "What''s wrong with hitting you? Who made the first move?!" Gu chengyan immediately asked.


    "You can''t hit anyone in the face with the first hand, can you? And if you hadn''t spoken so harshly and insulted me, how could I not have controlled myself? I''ve never lost my composure like today, it''s all because..."


    "All right! Still noisy!!" Seeing that gu mohan''s face was getting uglier and uglier, manager li hurriedly stopped the two disgraceful employees and then smiled dryly. He leaned over to gu mohan with a low brow and said, "President gu, look at this... I''m sorry, it really... Made you laugh. Yes... It was the mismanagement of the subordinates who were busy reporting to president gu that made these two people not normally happy. I can''t believe that during my office hours..."


    "You can do it too."


    Gu mohan interrupted him without even looking at him.


    Because gu mohan knew that what manager li said was for naught. He would never say anything about his own problems, but simply put the blame on others. It would be more difficult to understand the truth from this kind of people than to ascend to heaven.


    However, gu mohan did not want to know the truth. Neither Li Ruonan nor gu chengyan were good things. Today''s matter was just a matter of ten rats fighting for a hole. They could deal with it directly without asking.


    He glanced at Li Ruonan and said calmly, "Take your hands off me."


    Just now, how many people had tried to coax and persuade her, but Li Ruonan refused to take her hand away so that everyone could see her injury. Now that gu mohan was here, she naturally wanted to act even more pitiful. She shook her head in grievance and sobbed, "No, I... My face is too ugly. I''m afraid..."


    "Your skin is infected. If it''s serious, you have to cut it off. Do you want to make your face lose a piece of flesh?"


    Gu mohan didn''t feel any pity for her words, which made Li Ruonan gasp. She only wanted to take revenge on gu chengyan for making things difficult for manager li, but she forgot about the injury on her face. If it was as serious as gu mohan said, wouldn''t she lose more than gain?


    At the thought of this, Li Ruonan quickly put down his sore arm and started looking around for the mirror.


    By the time she found the mirror and stretched out her neck to look at the wound, gu mohan had already seen her two-centimeter mark clearly, not as serious as she had said. Moreover, from the dried blood scab, the wound was not that deep. As long as it was not a scar, it could be healed in a few days.


    Gu mohan had already guessed it would be like this, so he frowned and said in a deep voice, "There is a hospital not far from the company. Send someone to accompany you to the hospital for treatment later. When you come back, you two apologize to each other and deduct half a month''s salary. This matter will be over. Don''t mention it again."


    "What?!"


    Hearing gu mohan''s solution, gu chengyan did not have any objections, but Li Ruonan seemed to have been trampled on by someone. He exclaimed, "She hurt me like this. It''s not bad that I didn''t call the police. How dare I apologize to her? Absolutely not!"


    "Impossible?" Gu mo looked at Li Ruonan coldly, his tone darkening. He asked, "What do you want? Punish her or fire her?"


    "Of course..."


    Li Ruonan thought that gu mohan was really asking for her opinion and was looking sideways at gu chengyan to say what he thought, but was interrupted by manager li''s cough.


    "Ahem -" manager li picked on his eyelids and resumed his silence.


    This untimely cough attracted gu mohan''s cold eyes and woke Li Ruonan up.


    Manager li was just reminding her that if she continued, gu mohan would really take the lead!


    Thinking about this, Li Ruonan only felt that her hands and feet were cold, because she almost offended gu mohan without paying attention, and this time she made the situation so serious that it was not on the same level as what happened in the restaurant.

 Chapter 341 Home

    Seeing that Li Ruonan stopped in time and manager li had the heart to protect him, gu mohan adjusted his sleeves and asked, "Li Ruonan, are you... Satisfied with the result?"


    "Full... Satisfied..." Li Ruonan did not dare to say any more and quickly lowered his head honestly.


    Then gu mohan asked gu chengyan, "What about you? Are you satisfied?"


    "It''s all up to the general manager."


    "Good." Gu mohan nodded and took a deep breath, "Since you still want to work at the gu family and understand what I said, then focus on your work from now on, and don''t bring the rest of the rubbish to the company. I only clean up this mess once today. Next time, pack up and leave!"


    This was the only time gu mohan spoke loudly since he entered the room. The three of them held their breath and bowed their heads in agreement.


    Gu mohan glanced at the three of them one by one, then turned around, pushed the door and walked out of the manager''s office.


    After the private conflict was resolved, both the company and gu father needed to explain. He first came to the management department and instructed them to improve the relevant system. He then focused on reorganizing the staff ethos a month later, and then came to the meeting room on the third floor to report the situation to the dark-faced gu father.


    Father gu agreed with his handling of the company, and his previous anger was mostly dissipated. However, he could not help but lecture gu mohan, "Look at you. How long have you only taken over the company? The company has been in a mess for you. When I was there, did someone dare to make such a fuss?! Aren''t they all working honestly? There are conflicts among the employees, not only with them, but also with you, the president!"


    Because of his studies and work, gu mohan had been scolded by his father since he was a child. It was useless to explain, so he didn''t want to explain at all. He nodded and said, "What you said is, I will pay attention in the future."


    "Is that enough? You have to correct yourself and listen to others!" Father gu said hatefully.


    "Yes, I understand."


    After reprimanding gu mohan for a few words, his father''s mood calmed down a lot and he remembered something else.


    "By the way, I heard that you haven''t been back to the villa recently, and you haven''t worked overtime at the company. Where do you live?"


    It had been a while since gu mohan returned home last time. He estimated that it was time for his father to ask about it, but he did not intend to hide it. He replied directly, "Stay in the apartment."


    "With whom? Is there anyone else besides that child?" The implication was to ask if ye zhiqiao lived with him.


    Gu mohan raised his head and looked at his father indifferently.


    In fact, even if he didn''t say it, father gu could have guessed it, but seeing his natural appearance, he still felt a little depressed in his chest, so he snorted and said, "I don''t care who you lived with before. From today on, move back to the mansion and bring the child back if you want. Your mother and I can take care of it for you, so that you can concentrate on your work." Save yourself the embarrassment of today!"


    Father gu said it with confidence, as if gu mohan had to be obedient, but gu Mohan was no longer the young boy who had not dried up before. He was now a man. After an irreversible conflict with father and mother gu, he could not return to the cold mansion and become the young master of the gu family who was obedient to the two elders of the gu family.


    And now he has ye zhiqiao and little treasure, these are the two most important people in his life, no matter what, he will not abandon them.


    "I can manage the company without going back to the mansion, and the place where I live now is my home." Gu mohan said word by word.


    "Boom -"


    Father gu slammed the table, shaking the lid of the teacup. His anger, which had just subsided, was due to the fact that gu mohan''s words had once again "Rubbed" against his head, and several longevity eyebrows trembled slightly.


    "What are you talking about? Where is your home? Give birth to you, raise you, raise you from your baby to your prime, and the place where your parents are is your home! As the person in charge of such a huge company, can''t you even distinguish the most basic morality and benevolence?!"


    Compared to father gu''s excitement, gu mohan''s mood was much calmer. He nodded first and then said, "You''re right. The gu family mansion will always be my home, but I''m already an adult. At my current age and emotional state, the place where my wife and daughter are should be my real home. You are a passerby and should know it better than me."


    What is the definition of home?


    The one who is at ease, warm, caring and caring for each other, who can hug and warm, is the family, the family.


    Gu mohan had longed for these things in his father and mother, but he never got them. Now, he finally felt these things from ye zhiqiao and little treasure, and he would never give up.


    Father gu was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn''t find any words to refute it. He could only exhale a few deep breaths and point at his nose, "I don''t listen to your nonsense. Anyway, I''ll give you two more months at most. Think it over and think it over! At that time, you must give me a satisfactory answer!!"


    After saying this, father gu turned his back and stormed out of the house.


    Li Ruonan returned from his treatment after father gu left. Although the company was still full of rumors about this matter, it had basically stabilized the situation.


    It was lunchtime.


    Gu mohan had been running outside all morning, and ye zhiqiao had been fighting with Li Ruonan and gu chengyan. Both of them were tired, so they decided to go straight to the staff restaurant for lunch.


    The two of them ordered their meal and sat down in a quiet corner. After the restaurant incident, their affair was no longer a secret. In this regard, the two of them had a blessing in disguise, so they could no longer sit together and eat openly.


    "How are you?" Gu mohan asked with a smile as he took a broccoli from his plate and gave it to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and sighed, unable to laugh or cry, "What else can it be? I hid so fast, and you were the only one who got scolded."


    She was referring to gu mohan being reprimanded by his father. At that time, someone passed by the conference room door and overheard gu mohan being reprimanded by his father. After that, they spread the word around the company at the speed of light.


    However, as an employee, he would definitely be curious about his boss, which gu mohan did not object to, and this matter was harmless, so he did not take it to heart.

 Chapter 342 Throw Yourself into the Arms

    Gu mohan didn''t take it seriously, but ye zhiqiao couldn''t get over it. Today''s events were all because of her. If she hadn''t lied to Li Ruonan to pick him up, then the subsequent quarrels and fights and the fact that gu father had angered gu mohan because he thought there was a problem with the company''s management wouldn''t have happened.


    A piece of rice that was just picked up fell back into the bowl. Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and poked at the few plump grains of rice with chopsticks as she said apologetically, "It''s all my fault. If I had known this, I should have stopped provoking Li Ruonan. If I hadn''t said anything to make her angry on purpose after that, she and gu chengyan wouldn''t have gotten into this mess."


    "Stop thinking about it!" Gu mohan nodded at the table, motioning for her to eat quickly, then said, "Actually, I am very happy today. You can be tough and not be stubborn anymore. This is more reassuring than anything else."


    Ye zhiqiao wrinkled her small face and raised her head. She said sadly, "But uncle scolded you. Don''t you feel uncomfortable? You''re usually annoyed when people talk to you in a good voice. Can you stand being scolded?"


    "Hehe..."


    Gu mohan snorted and laughed. He raised his hand to touch her hair and shook his head, "How do you know me so well? Are you afraid I can''t stand it? Let me tell you, I grew up under my father''s curse, and I''m already immune!"


    "But..."


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao still had an unconcerned and apologetic look on her face, gu mohan quickly stuffed a tomato into her mouth and then said, "Okay, okay, this is over. Don''t mention it again! In the future, just like you are today, you can fight back as much as you want. Be tough and show your courage. Even if our relationship is not public, it''s not fair to be bullied in your own company."


    "... Ye zhiqiao puffed her mouth and refused to comment on gu mohan''s suggestion.


    Gu mohan knew what she was like. It was okay for her to do good deeds or suffer some dumb losses. It was really difficult for her to bully others. But this is the current society, especially in the gu family, which is a big and ruthless workplace. If she didn''t have to protect herself in some special way, she would be trampled to death sooner or later.


    This was also one of the reasons why he didn''t agree with ye zhiqiao coming to gu''s. His ye zhiqiao should live a clean and pure life, without worrying about life, without wasting time and taking risks with irrelevant people.


    Thinking about ye zhiqiao''s current situation, gu mohan couldn''t help but feel worried and heartbroken. He forgot to eat the food that was put in his mouth and stared at her directly. The feelings in his eyes were undisguised.


    Ye zhiqiao could feel the heat in her eyes. When she looked up at gu mohan''s eyes, she almost spat out a mouthful of soup. She hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, then asked with a stifled smile, "What are you doing? Why do I look like I''m looking at a photo? Am I not living well here?"


    "Crow''s mouth!" Gu mohan scolded her angrily, but the tenderness in his tone was about to come out.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and patted her face as if she were punishing her.


    The actions and expressions of both of them were ambiguous couples, close and natural, but when this scene fell into the eyes of Li Ruonan, who had been coveting gu mohan for a long time, it aroused boundless anger.


    Between the two tables, Li Ruonan had been staring at the two of them for a long time. She had not missed the blurry conversation and the occasional small movements. If it weren''t for the ugly gauze on her cheek, she would have rushed over and chased ye zhiqiao away for fear of giving gu mohan a bad impression again.


    But at this moment, looking at gu mohan looking at ye zhiqiao''s loving eyes, she couldn''t help it any longer. Go to hell with all the gauze!


    Even if a scar on her face was ten thousand times prettier than ye zhiqiao, the only person gu mohan should look at was her, Li Ruonan!!


    With the encouragement of his anger, Li Ruonan stood up abruptly and strode to gu mohan without even carrying a plate. Ignoring their surprised eyes, he sat down and even pulled a chair in the direction of gu Mohan with his shoulder pressed against gu mohan''s shoulder.


    Gu mohan was naturally extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior, and regardless of whether it conformed to the etiquette of a gentleman, he immediately moved a chair to the side.


    "What are you doing?!" His tone was also extremely harsh. After all, it destroyed the time between him and ye zhiqiao. It was strange that gu mohan could bear it.


    Li Ruonan didn''t know whether she was too eager or too confident in herself. She didn''t give up at all when gu mohan''s unwelcome behavior was so obvious. Instead, she stared at ye zhiqiao arrogantly and said with her mouth curled, "President gu, let me help you look at ye zhiqiao. This woman has a lot of bad intentions. In order to get on top of her, I''m afraid you might accidentally hit her path."


    Who is the unscrupulous person?


    Li Ruonan splashed dirty water on ye zhiqiao so blatantly that both gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were extremely surprised, thinking that this woman didn''t have a brain? He provoked his female companion in front of gu mohan. No matter what the relationship was, it was strange that she would benefit from it!


    In fact, when dealing with the dispute between Li Ruonan and gu chengyan in the manager''s office, gu mohan saw that Li Ruonan''s eq was not high, but he was always praised by the stars, so he had a self-righteous mentality. He disliked such people very much, and could even be said to be extremely disgusted.


    Fortunately, there wouldn''t be much interaction between him and Li Ruonan. As long as ye zhiqiao could protect himself, then he wouldn''t be afraid to offend Li Ruonan. There was no need to save face for her between words.


    Thus, gu mohan said coldly, "Wicked and unscrupulous? Sorry, I didn''t seem to see this from ye zhiqiao. But if there''s anything that makes me uncomfortable, there''s really one..."


    He deliberately made a pass, which attracted ye zhiqiao and Li Ruonan to cast curious eyes together, especially Li Ruonan, as if he could hear gu mohan''s secret right away, his eyes glistened with excitement.


    In her expectant gaze, gu mohan''s lips curled up into a smile and said slowly, "Women throw themselves into arms voluntarily. It feels cheap and disgusting. I''m very uncomfortable."


    Throw! Huai! Send it off! Hug!


    A bolt from the blue hit Li Ruonan''s head hard. She couldn''t believe her ears. She stared at gu mohan for a long time. It was only when gu mohan smiled sarcastically that she had to believe that what gu mohan said just now was really sarcastic.


    For a moment, her face turned dark and red. She wanted to say something to defend herself, but she realized that the more she said, the more humiliating it would be. It would only make gu mohan look down on her.

 Chapter 343 Through Thick and Thin

    "You... You went too far!"


    It took a while for Li Ruonan to say this, then he quickly got up and left the restaurant. In a few seconds, he disappeared from the sight of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan''s words used to describe a woman were indeed too hurtful, and it was not surprising that Li Ruonan could not accept it.


    However, after Li Ruonan left, ye zhiqiao did not speak for him, because in her opinion, Li Ruonan was just suffering on her own, and all the bitter consequences today were retribution.


    "Zhiqiao, there''s something I need to report to you." Gu mohan suddenly remembered something and said to ye zhiqiao with a serious expression, "Regarding Li Ruonan, I originally planned to find a chance to fire her directly, but after sending someone to investigate, I found that I can''t touch her for the time being."


    Ye zhiqiao never thought that even if Li Ruonan was really fired one day, it would only be because he violated the company''s rules and not just because he offended her.


    But even gu Mohan couldn''t move Li Ruonan. Ye zhiqiao was more curious about Li Ruonan''s background and asked, "Is she... On good terms with auntie?"


    This "Auntie" refers to gu mohan''s mother, a guess ye zhiqiao had made before.


    Gu mohan did not hide it. He nodded happily and said, "Yes, my mother has been protecting her from the inside out, but there are other forces besides my mother."


    Li Ruonan actually had the support of other forces besides mother gu, which ye zhiqiao did not expect, but it did not seem surprising to link Li Ruonan''s insufferable personality.


    Ye zhiqiao lost interest in continuing to ask, and instead comforted gu mohan, "You don''t have to worry about her. I can handle it alone. Like today, I didn''t lose anything at all. So don''t offend anyone for me, okay?"


    Gu mohan had known about ye zhiqiao''s thoughtfulness for a long time, but every time he felt it, he could not help but feel grateful that god had given him such good luck to meet ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan looked at ye zhiqiao gently and nodded.


    "That''s right. In the future, you should focus on the company. Don''t worry about the rest, lest you get caught by your uncle." After ye zhiqiao finished speaking, she couldn''t help but laugh. She wasn''t talking to the president of a company. She was clearly like a parent who coaxed a child to do homework.


    "Hey! By the way, why did uncle come to the company today?" After laughing, ye zhiqiao asked.


    As far as she knew, although some of the company''s main power was still in the hands of gu father, he usually did not interfere, and even some major decisions were not likely to appear, but the full authority was handed over to gu mohan. This sudden return to the company really shocked all the senior managers.


    Although this is a bit exaggerated, the deterrence of father gu is not to be underestimated.


    Gu mohan thought that ye zhiqiao would ask this, so he said according to the lines that had been prepared in his heart, "Oh, the company''s situation is not very good recently. There are some big and small problems in the management, including finance. It took me a long time, and I haven''t completely dealt with them, so..."


    He shook his head, looking a little sad, but did not mention that gu father had asked him to go home and gave him two months.


    The bigger the company, the more lower-level managers it needs, and the more loopholes and problems it will have. Although ye zhiqiao did not learn professional business management, she still had a deep understanding of this.


    Take manager li from the sales department, and ask him if he''s really talented. There must be, there is no fake education, management experience is also there. But is he really thinking about the company''s development? This is debatable.


    People die for money, birds die for food, no one can put their heart on the company, without any selfish intentions. And such a person, the company still has to be necessary, just graduated from college students, no matter how honest their duties, gu mohan certainly did not dare to put that position.


    Ye zhiqiao understood gu mohan''s difficulties and knew that this kind of thing had to be discussed in the long run. She was relieved for a while and said, "In this case, we should focus more on the company in the future, but don''t worry. Although I am not in a high position now, I will try my best to pay more attention to some of the company''s problems and solve them with you."


    Gu mohan was happier than simply hearing consolation when ye zhiqiao had such determination, because it proved that ye zhiqiao regarded him as a family and was willing to share his hardships with him like a husband and wife.


    The two of them finished their business, and the meal was almost ready. Seeing gu Mohan put down his chopsticks, ye zhiqiao got up to pack the plate and prepared to take it to wash.


    The plates in the staff restaurant were disinfected and then reused. Although the hygiene was good, ye zhiqiao brought a plate for her own use and washed it every time she used it.


    Seeing this, gu mohan quickly snatched the plate from her hand and lifted his chin towards the drinks section, "Go get some drinks. I''ll wash this. When I get back, we''ll go upstairs and work together."


    Usually at home, gu mohan liked to help her with the housework. Ye zhiqiao was used to it and enjoyed it, so she did not hesitate to answer directly.


    Gu mohan washed the dishes, and ye zhiqiao finished a cup of tea just in time. The two of them walked out of the restaurant side by side.


    It was already late when the two of them were eating, and now no one was passing by outside the restaurant. Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao''s white hand a few times, and when he saw that ye zhiqiao had not noticed it, he reached over and grabbed it, holding the hand several sizes smaller than himself in his palm.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned. When she saw gu mohan''s sly smile, she immediately understood. She would not be found out anyway, so she let him go.


    In order to spend more time together, gu mohan refused to take the elevator and insisted on going up the stairs. Ye zhiqiao could not help but follow him into the stairwell.


    The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty staircase. It was a rare afternoon when ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered something else. It might be a bit disappointing, but she still felt that she should ask gu mohan for advice.


    "Mohan, in the morning, gu chengyan came to me and said he wanted to form an alliance with me to deal with gu chengyan. He also said that she had a problem with gu chengyan before. I told her to consider delaying it. Do you think I should agree to her?"


    Gu chengyan followed ye zhiqiao to the gu family, and gu mohan had already heard what ye zhiqiao said. He found out that gu chengyan came to the gu family after a normal interview, so he had no way to interfere.

 Chapter 344 "burglar" in the Office"

    But ye zhiqiao''s cooperation with gu chengyan was no different from a tiger''s skin!


    Not to mention that gu chengyan was a scheming person, just from her previous attempt to hurt ye zhiqiao, gu mohan would never agree with ye zhiqiao to cooperate with her.


    So gu mohan rejected without thinking, "You can''t cooperate with her. Gu chengyan was too deep and tried to hurt you before, but now he suddenly changed his attitude and pointed the blame at Li Ruonan. No one knew what she really thought, so he couldn''t control her at all. If he was careless, he might get bitten by her. You can come to me anytime if you need help, but gu chengyan definitely can''t."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to cooperate with gu chengyan at first, but gu chengyan''s performance was too strong, and she couldn''t make up her mind for a moment. Now that even gu Mohan said so, she had nothing to hesitate about.


    She nodded and said, "Okay, then I''ll find a chance to reject her."


    Gu mohan patted her on the head, then looked up and saw the "Eighth floor" sign. He pushed the door open and walked out of the stairwell with ye zhiqiao one after another.


    The staircase and the elevator were in opposite positions. After going out, they had to go straight for a while, then turn a corner to reach the corridor where the office was located. Gu mohan wanted to send ye zhiqiao back directly, but ye zhiqiao didn''t want to make such a big fuss. She only agreed to let gu mohan send her to the corner.


    Gu mohan had no choice but to take second place and put his arm around her shoulder to take advantage of the last minute.


    But just halfway through the one-minute journey, ye zhiqiao''s body suddenly shook violently.


    "Ah!!"


    With a cry, ye zhiqiao fell straight back!


    Before gu mohan had time to think about it, the arm behind her immediately exerted force, then quickly bent down, the other hand slid under her knee socket, and steadily picked her up.


    The series of actions only took a few seconds until she was held in gu mohan''s arms. Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were closed and her heart was pounding. The knuckles on the back of her hand, which were holding on to gu mohan''s suit, turned white.


    "It''s okay. Don''t be afraid." Gu mo calmed her down and looked down at the ground.


    A whole crushed banana peel was lying there quietly.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao''s mood gradually calmed down, and she opened her eyes to look at the "Culprit" who almost caused her fall. When she saw the slightly innocent banana peel, she couldn''t help but frown.


    Gu mohan''s face was not much prettier than hers. Inside the city''s number one company building, a banana peel appeared on the high quality marble floor, as if someone had thrown it away... Heh! If it was an accident, gu Mohan would need to reorganize not only the company''s operations, but also the new batch of cleaners employed!


    Obviously, gu mohan suspected that its appearance was not an accident.


    Gu mohan remembered that the surveillance in the company corridor was fully covered, so he bypassed the banana peel and found a clean place to put ye zhiqiao down, then looked up to find a surveillance camera that could capture the location of the banana peel, but the result made him even more uneasy.


    Because the only camera that could be captured was broken. The damage was visible to the naked eye, and it was almost certain that it was caused by man.


    The unknown banana peel, the damaged surveillance camera, gu mohan could not help but doubt that it was deliberately designed, but who designed it, who wanted to harm, gu mohan did not dare to guess, so he immediately took out his phone and called his assistant to investigate this matter.


    After everything was arranged, gu mohan returned to ye zhiqiao''s side. Seeing that her face was still pale from the shock just now, his heart ached. He suggested, "Don''t go to work in the afternoon. Come with me to my office, or go home. Although it''s not yet certain whether the banana peel happened by accident or someone did it on purpose, it''s always right to be careful."


    "No." Ye zhiqiao shook her head, took a deep breath and said, "Nothing happened to me, so I shouldn''t make such a fuss. Maybe someone threw it casually. Don''t worry about me."


    "...


    Seeing that gu Mohan''s face was still heavy, ye zhiqiao squeezed out a smile and shook his arm, "Well, life is full of accidents. I can''t ask for leave because of a small matter, can I? I will take good care of myself. Don''t worry."


    Ye zhiqiao resolutely rejected gu mohan''s proposal. Gu mohan had no choice but to let her go back to work.


    The two of them separated at the corner of the corridor, and ye zhiqiao walked straight in the direction of the office.


    Before work time, most of her colleagues would rest outside for a while and then step back, so ye zhiqiao did not have any doubts about the very quiet office a few steps away, but when she pushed the door in and noticed the scene in the office, she was surprised to stay where she was.


    The floor of the office was littered with all kinds of information and documents, and even the desk was in a mess, giving people a sense of home burglary.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know what had happened during the time she left, so that the original clean and orderly office became like this, but since she saw it, she decided to tidy it up first, and the rest of the time when everyone came back to ask.


    She bent down and just reached out to pick up a document by her feet when the door of the office was suddenly opened, followed by a slightly messy sound of footsteps.


    She had just straightened up and looked over. Li Ruonan, the leader, had pointed at her and said to the crowd, "What do you think she''s doing? How are we going to work in the afternoon with this office?"


    Then Li Ruonan looked at ye zhiqiao and asked sternly, "What are you holding in your hand? It seems to be the internal information of our company... Did you deliberately sabotage us by turning this place upside down and taking our things? You are a spy sent by another company. You want to steal information and frame the company, right?!"


    Before ye zhiqiao could react, Li Ruonan had already said such a long paragraph like a firecracker, just like he had memorized the script before, and did not give ye zhiqiao any chance to explain.


    After listening to Li Ruonan''s words, the rest of them saw ye zhiqiao looking shocked. They thought that she was caught and didn''t know what to do. All of them agreed and started to attack ye zhiqiao.


    Seeing that the situation was getting more and more uncontrollable, ye zhiqiao quickly explained, "No, it''s not like this. It was already like this when I came back. I don''t know what happened!"

 Chapter 345 Business Spy

    "Stop pretending! Of course you won''t admit that you did something bad yourself. Let''s find manager li to be fair now!"


    There was a separate lounge in the manager''s room. Every day after lunch, manager li would take a nap inside. Li Ruonan pulled ye zhiqiao and rushed in.


    Ye zhiqiao waved Li Ruonan''s hand away and said coldly, "I can walk by myself. Don''t touch me."


    "Hmph! Still tough? You''ll know when you''re sent to the police station!" Li Ruonan raised his eyebrows and glared at her smugly, then turned to look at manager li, who was slowly walking out with a yawn.


    The afternoon nap was interrupted and manager li was in a bad mood. When he looked up, he saw a large group of people. Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao were standing in front of him. His anger was immediately aroused. He wondered why these two troublemakers were making trouble for him every day!


    However, he certainly did not dare to show his impatience to Li Ruonan, so naturally, his anger would be spilled on ye zhiqiao.


    "It''s you again!! Ye zhiqiao, what are you doing again? Can''t you just work honestly? Why do you have to do something to be at ease?!"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiaoxin said: of course I don''t want to find trouble, if you take care of Li Ruonan, don''t always let her out to bite.


    Before ye zhiqiao could explain, Li Ruonan had volunteered to manager li and said, "Manager, when I came back to work with my colleagues just now, I saw ye zhiqiao turning the office upside down and still holding our internal information..."


    As she spoke, she held ye zhiqiao''s hand and waved it in front of manager li. Then she continued, "That''s it. She''s trying to steal our internal information. She''s probably going to sell it to another company. I think she''s a business spy!"


    Commercial espionage?!


    This is not a crime to play around with. You are already in jail and you are going to jail!


    Manager li immediately changed his face and stared at ye zhiqiao and asked, "What she said... Is it true?"


    "Manager, I didn''t..."


    "Manager li!" Li Ruonan interrupted ye zhiqiao again and said in a bad tone, "Can I lie to you? This information is material evidence. All the colleagues present are witnesses, and all the witnesses and material evidence are present. What are you waiting for if you don''t punish her?"


    "This..." Manager li touched his shiny head and hesitated for a moment before finally deciding, "Call the police!"


    "You want to call the police?!"


    Hearing the word "Report to the police," the most excited person was not ye zhiqiao, but Li Ruonan, who had been shouting about the crime of ye zhiqiaoan. She immediately dissuaded manager li and said, "Don''t be so agitated, it''s all internal affairs of the company. It''s not good to make a scene outside, right?"


    "Corporate espionage is a big deal!" Manager li stressed.


    Li Ruonan''s face stiffened for a moment, then he waved his hand and said, "Actually... It''s not that serious. She... After all, she hasn''t taken the information yet. Let''s just fire her as a punishment..."


    Li Ruonan was the one who caught ye zhiqiao''s "Appearance." Li Ruonan was the one who wanted to punish ye zhiqiao, and Li Ruonan was the one who tried to stop the police. Manager li had been in charge for decades. If he still couldn''t see the insides of it, then he could retire.


    However, even if he guessed that ye zhiqiao might have been wronged, he could not say it. After all, this was what Li Ruonan wanted, and he could only cooperate.


    So, he nodded with feigned approval, cleared his throat and said, "Well... What Ruonan said makes sense, young man... We have to give her a chance to change... This way! Ye zhiqiao, you should go to the personnel department immediately to get your leave. You have been dismissed."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at manager li in disbelief and couldn''t believe her ears, "What did you say? Am I fired?! You fired me without even hearing a word from my client?"


    Manager li rubbed his chin and said, "Tsk,"" what else is there to say? You should be grateful for not being sent to the police station, or else you will suffer.


    "I... Heh..."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to defend herself, but even she couldn''t help but laugh at herself. She had grown up to be so exposed to the common sense of law, big and small, because it would be "Grateful," she had never heard of it!


    "Manager, whether it''s to the police station or to your decision, you should at least provide evidence, right? What proof do you have when you call me a business spy?" Ye zhiqiao calmed down and asked.


    "Evidence?" Manager li raised his eyelids, glanced at the staff present, and raised his voice, "Just now, Ruonan said that they can testify. And the information in your hand, can you explain it clearly?"


    The evidence was nothing more than a few eyes and a few mouths, and a piece of information she picked up from the ground.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head helplessly and explained systematically, "What did they see? It''s just that I''m standing in a chaotic office, but that doesn''t prove that I''m the one who broke the office, and this information..."


    She opened a few pages of the document and held it high in the air. "This is the general information of the gu family. If I want it, do I have to go through the office to steal it?" Even if I print eight out of ten, no one will suspect me."


    ...


    The evidence held by the crowd was easily overturned by ye zhiqiao, and manager li''s expression suddenly stiffened. There were many doubts about this matter, but since he had come to this stage, he was already in a difficult position, so no matter what ye zhiqiao said, he could not admit it.


    "Nonsense!" He yelled and pointed at ye zhiqiao, "You think we are idiots who want to turn black and white upside down in just a few words? How dare you defend yourself after being caught with stolen goods? Don''t you know how powerful it is not to send you to the police station?!"


    "Do you dare to call the police?"


    Ye zhiqiao was faced with a room full of people who wanted to kill her, but her momentum was not weak at all, and her mind was still clear. She knew that Li Ruonan had deliberately harmed her, and the others were just accomplices, so no one else in the room dared to call the police except her.


    However, a farce in the morning had already put gu Mohan in a difficult position. If the police were to arrive again, there might be some rumors in the company. She did not want to cause trouble for gu mohan, but was prepared to solve this matter on her own. So she paused and continued, "In my opinion, there is really no need to call the police because of such a small matter. If you still suspect me, then I will directly provide evidence to prove my innocence."


    Li Ruonan snorted and picked up his arm, "How do you want to prove your innocence?"

 Chapter 346 New Policy

    "There''s a surveillance camera in the hallway outside the office. Let''s go to the surveillance room together and pull out the surveillance video from this time around noon. Everyone who enters the office is suspected and has to show their own alibi." Ye zhiqiao replied with a resounding voice.


    "How dare you doubt us?" Li Ruonan pointed at himself, then at the crowd, and asked back with an exaggerated expression.


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at her expressionless, "Can''t I? I was with gu mohan until I entered the office, and in a few seconds you arrived with someone. In such a short time, I couldn''t have destroyed the office like this, so there must be someone else!"


    "And what I just said, there''s surveillance evidence." Ye zhiqiao asked word by word, "Then may I ask if there is any third party evidence in addition to those close to you?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s words completely calmed the scene down, and even Li Ruonan, who had an unconvinced face, stopped talking.


    Yes, she had already moved gu mohan out. Who would dare to continue to bite her? And what she said was reasonable, and there was evidence to prove that no one could find a reason to splash dirty water on her again.


    However, it was not a good idea for the situation to freeze here. As it was almost time for work, it was impossible for people in a department to not work. They had to be reprimanded again. As the highest ranking person in the field, manager li, naturally, had the cheek to come out and smooth things over.


    He coughed a few times to draw the attention of the crowd, and then said to ye zhiqiao in a businesslike manner, "Well, it seems that this matter is a little complicated. I think... It''s better for us to take a long view. This way! Your punishment is temporarily reserved. Hurry back to work with your colleagues."


    From the initial dismissal to the current disciplinary action, ye zhiqiao must now show a "If granted an amnesty" expression to express her gratitude for manager li''s magnanimity, but ye zhiqiao did not want to.


    Before that, she had tried many times to calm things down, but the result was never satisfactory, so this time, she was not prepared to continue.


    "It''s not complicated. Let''s go to the surveillance now, and then go to president gu to testify for me..." Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and glanced at her wristwatch, then raised her eyebrows and said to manager li, "It''s almost an hour away from work. I believe it''s enough time."


    Seeing that she was really ready to investigate this matter and still had to go to gu mohan, manager li panicked. The decision he made just now was immediately overturned and he changed his mind. I''m sure you''re innocent, so there''s no need to prove anything. You''re tired after all this time. You should take advantage of this time to rest."


    In order to let ye zhiqiao not continue to investigate, manager li not only relaxed and cleared ye zhiqiao''s name, but also said a few good words that she had never seen before.


    Heh - maybe in the past, but ever since she decided to help Mohan reorganize the company, she had given up on all those words and points. What she wanted now was the truth!


    "It''s either me or someone else. The tragedy in the office is there. Does manager li think this can be settled like this?"


    Ye zhiqiao recalled what Li Ruonan had just said about her, so she reorganized her language and returned it, "If there really is a business spy in our department who wants to steal important information while you were in the chaos, and he took the blame when you pointed at an innocent person like me, then who will take the responsibility?"


    "This... This..." Manager li wanted to make up, so he smiled dryly and said, "No way? Our company''s security measures are still very good, the requirements for staff review are very high, there won''t be any business spies."


    "Oh?"


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and thought, who said I was a business spy just now?


    "Really, really, there won''t be a problem." Manager li nodded hard, as if it would be more believable.


    But ye zhiqiao would not believe his words. Today''s matter must have a break!


    She deliberately gave a suspicious look and stared at manager li, who was sweating all over his head, slowly saying, "How can manager li be so sure? Are you really blindly confident in the company, or are you being two-hearted, so you don''t care about the safety of the company at all?"


    "!"


    Being questioned by ye zhiqiao, manager li shook his hands and said in a tongue-tied voice, "No... I didn''t... What are you talking about?!"


    Ye zhiqiao still looked at him calmly, her eyes without any waves.


    Manager li was frightened by her deep gaze, so he nodded and said, "Ok - if you want to check, just check. I won''t stop you."


    With manager li''s permission, ye zhiqiao left the manager''s office and prepared to go back to tidy up her desk, clear her mind and start the investigation, but her investigation had not yet begun. After manager li returned from the meeting in the afternoon, she suddenly announced a new policy.


    "After the top management of the company contacted the actual situation and discussed the results in many ways, we decided to choose an outstanding and capable staff to serve as a minister in the sales department to assist me in managing the sales department." Manager li announced the above policy in a cadenced tone, then glanced at the sales staff one by one and said earnestly, "This is a great opportunity for you. What you want to fight for, you have to seize it."


    As for the minister, Li Ruonan got wind of it from manager li early on. Even the establishment of the minister position was the result of the discussion between Li Ruonan and manager li, so that Li Ruonan could control the department.


    Because of her current qualifications, it was impossible for her to be promoted according to normal procedures, but she was not willing to work hard as a small staff member to be recognized, so she came up with this idea.


    In fact, she had previously held back on whether the proposal could be approved by the company''s top management, but today''s fight between her and gu chengyan just sounded an alarm to the top management, making them feel that the management of the sales department is weak, and manager li''s ability is not good, so it was so easy to pass.


    Since she passed, she was naturally the only one in the position.


    In order to make other eager competitors give up, Li Ruonan immediately pretended to be indifferent and said, "What minister? Isn''t that a thankless job?"

 Chapter 347 Running for Minister

    Hearing her say this, the colleague who wanted to participate in the election asked in puzzlement, "Why is it so hard to please? Isn''t it to assist the manager? And this is a direct promotion and a raise. It''s the first time I''ve seen such a good thing in a few years!"


    "Hmph, what do you know?"


    Li Ruonan was waiting for her to say this. When she finished, she immediately raised her chin and said, "In any environment, the hardest job is always the second in command. You have to obey the orders of the top and placate the people below. You have to say and do more wrong than you have to say. You have to do more wrong than you have to throw away the money in your hands. Your name is higher. The rest is... Nothing good!"


    After hearing her explanation, everyone suddenly realized.


    Everyone was in the workplace, and sometimes it would take a year or two, or more than ten years. They had seen all kinds of ups and downs in the workplace, so they were more cautious when thinking about things, or rather, they were more content with the status quo, and the passion for competition had receded.


    The sudden change in position was not just an appointment or a contract, it was followed by the abandonment of a skilled job and the switch to another unfamiliar field. Everything had to be done over again, not to mention, after that, not only was the promotion and salary increase waiting for him, but also the jealousy and resentment of his colleagues and the stricter and stricter management of his superiors.


    Ask yourself, almost no one is willing to take the initiative to bear this kind of pressure.


    Li Ruonan was proud of her provoking skills, but she had given up on the competition first, so now she needed an opportunity to overturn her decision and sit in the position she had made for her.


    It would be impossible for her to change her mind so abruptly. At a time like this, she still needed manager li, a veteran in the workplace.


    Manager li received her eye instructions accurately, nodded quietly, and then asked angrily, "Hey! What''s wrong with you guys? You don''t want to work for the company anymore, do you?"


    "Oh, manager, please don''t get me wrong. It''s not that we don''t want to work, but we are willing but unable..."


    A cheerful male employee answered first, and then everyone followed suit with a worried face.


    Their reactions were all expected by manager li. He had never thought that those who could not help ah dou would be of any help. This kind of bad thing must be handled by ye zhiqiao.


    Didn''t ye zhiqiao always criticize his unfair management? Didn''t they always raise objections to the rules of the sales department? This time he gave her this chance!


    Manager li turned to face ye zhiqiao, who seemed to be out of the way, and asked in a raised voice, "Ye zhiqiao, did you hear the policy I just announced? Why not join the discussion?"


    Of course, ye zhiqiao heard it, but she didn''t have any desire for a high salary in a higher vocational school, and she didn''t like to manage others. Besides, she didn''t lack money, so the minister thing was not attractive at all.


    But manager li had already called the roll, so she could only lift her head and smile, "I''m sorry, manager. I just got into the job, and there are still many shortcomings. This kind of high standard and strict position is not suitable for me."


    Manager li guessed that she would refuse, smiled and said, "Really? It seems that everyone under my command knows their own business. But this is a good opportunity to train yourself, and I hope you will consider it carefully. Participating in all kinds of high-level meetings at that time will enable you to improve your ability faster and express your thoughts more conveniently..."


    "Manager!" Hearing this, ye zhiqiao finally couldn''t help but raise her hand and ask, "Did you just say that a minister can attend a high-level meeting?"


    Manager li turned his back and nodded, "Yes, the minister is only one level below me. He has the same basic rights as me. He can participate in meetings, department planning, system adjustment, etc. All of these can be participated, including managing other employees, quarterly and year-end bonuses. They are not much worse than me."


    Ye zhiqiao had not been in the sales department for a long time, but she had already felt that there were many loopholes in the department. She had told her superiors many times about this, but they had been ignored or rejected. If the minister''s rights were really like what manager li said, then as long as she became a minister, the previous difficulties could be easily solved.


    And by then, the core of the gu family that she would be in contact with would be deeper, and it would be even more helpful to help gu mohan reorganize the company.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao immediately made a decision, stood up and said, "Manager li, I want to participate in the minister''s election."


    As soon as this was said, a smile appeared on both manager li and Li Ruonan''s faces, while the rest of the people booed.


    "You said you weren''t suitable. You couldn''t control yourself the moment you heard about the year-end bonus. Did you show your true colors?" The male employee who gave up first said scornfully.


    Another employee shook his head disapprovingly and said sarcastically, "Not necessarily. Maybe they want to be ministers to punish us and avenge us!"


    "Gee, why would such a short-sighted person become a minister? Does she deserve it?!"


    ...


    Ye zhiqiao was still standing there, and her colleagues had begun to make sarcastic remarks without concealing it. Li Ruonan was very satisfied with the current situation, so he stood up and said loudly, "Okay! You want to be a minister, right? I want to be one too. I don''t think you''re capable enough to hand over the sales department to you. I''m not at ease. What if you cheat? And... After listening to manager li''s introduction, I think it''s good that I can participate in the company meeting and put forward my own opinion. Although I haven''t been in the company for long, I feel a lot. I just want to find an opportunity to put it forward!"


    Looking at these words, it was simply a model of an excellent employee who was conscientious and conscientious. Even manager li couldn''t stop nodding and almost applauded for Li Ruonan.


    The colleagues present were originally on Li Ruonan''s side, and after ye zhiqiao had previously regretted to participate in the election, at this time, for the sake of the company, Li Ruonan would rather go to great lengths to "Sacrifice life for justice" behavior naturally moved them, without manager li leading the way, there was a spontaneous applause.


    In the deafening applause, the praise to Li Ruonan and the condemnation to ye zhiqiao did not stop.


    "Ruonan is indeed a man who has seen the world before. He does things in a cool and cheerful manner and is not as selfish as someone!"


    "That''s right. Li Ruonan is honest at all. He can say whatever he wants. He doesn''t want ye zhiqiao to think. The way he pretends to be is disgusting!"


    ...

 Chapter 348 The First Test

    After the discussion that afternoon, the candidates for the minister of the election were Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao, and the test was divided into two rounds.


    The next morning, the test officially began.


    The first item is the work ability test.


    Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao each made a sales plan within a limited period of time. After that, manager li led the other sales staff to judge and decide, and more people who got good reviews won.


    With manager li''s order, Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao sat down at their respective desks, picked up the prepared paper and pen and began to think.


    Recently, the gu family introduced the summer dress, because the original reputation and production process is indeed conscience, sales are still in line, basically maintained the level of the past, and now the need for two people to produce a plan to increase sales, to develop and update on the original basis. It was more difficult than simply selling.


    Li Ruonan was a business management major and had studied abroad for many years. He was a veteran in sales planning and soon came up with ideas.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, was a beginner in sales. Although she had crammed some knowledge before entering gu''s company and studied hard at work, it was still a bit difficult to do, but fortunately, she also completed the plan in time.


    Two freshly made sales plans were placed on the central table in the office, and colleagues followed manager li to gather around them, passing them around to watch, and compliments and exclamations poured in.


    It was conceivable that all the praise and amazement came from Li Ruonan''s proposal.


    Ye zhiqiao stood quietly by the side and lowered her head slightly without making any comments.


    In fact, as soon as she heard the rules of this test, she knew that this was not a competition for design plans, but a competition for popularity.


    In the office of the sales department, Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao were more popular than anyone else, so the test was not fair at all.


    But she wasn''t complaining because she wasn''t capable enough. She had just seen Li Ruonan''s proposal, and it was professional enough, but the overall level was too radical and ambitious, which was hard to implement in reality.


    She didn''t know whether it was Li Ruonan''s lack of foundation or her lack of attention that made her subconsciously relaxed, but if she were to say that she was very confident, her plan would not be better than Li Ruonan''s.


    However, no matter what ye zhiqiao thought, the sales staff would not waver and still voted for Li Ruonan one by one.


    Seeing that Li Ruonan''s votes on the whiteboard were increasing rapidly and her balance was zero, ye zhiqiao shook her head with a bitter smile, comforting herself that there was still another test, and that she could try again.


    "Ahem -" manager li took the last vote and stood in front of the writing board, "All right, everyone, calm down. There''s one last ticket. Our first test is over. As you all think, the name on the last one is also Li Ruonan! So I''m going to announce that the winner of the first round of the minister''s election is..."


    "Wait a minute!"


    Just as the word "Li Ruonan" was about to come out, gu mohan''s clear voice suddenly appeared at the door of the office, followed by dozens of familiar staff.


    I''ve only heard of the wedding snatcher saying "Wait a minute." The host meeting and the competition have never been interrupted like this. Manager li choked on his throat and his face turned red, but he still walked to gu mohan with a smiling face and asked in a good voice, "President gu, our department is responding to the superior''s policy of democratic election of a new minister. You''ve been busy, I don''t know if you want to..."


    "Democratic elections?"


    Gu mohan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the votes on the board and said with a smile, "Yes, democracy is good. It''s worth promoting."


    "Oh, yeah, I..."


    Just as manager li was about to flatter gu mohan and invite him for credit, he cut him off mercilessly with just a few words, "In order to make your campaign more democratic, I specially selected some outstanding staff from other departments to come over and let them vote with your people, so that other departments can learn more about the excellent traditions of the sales department."


    "!!"


    Just as he took a deep breath, he got stuck in manager li''s throat again. He swallowed his saliva and stammered, "This... This is not... No trouble. If you say something about our internal affairs, how can we... Trouble other departments? Not suitable... Not suitable..."


    "All of you are here. What''s the trouble? They would also like to come to the sales department and have a look, especially at your manager li. They have been looking forward to it for a long time."


    Gu mohan gave a wild compliment and immediately lifted manager li to the sky. At the same time, he also removed the ladder from the ground. If he did not listen, he could only fall straight back to the ground.


    Manager li was speechless. He was no match for gu mohan. He just nodded and agreed.


    While the staff of other departments were reading the two plans, ye zhiqiao took a chance to sneak up to gu mohan and asked in a low voice, "Did you... Specifically find them? You won''t collude with them and let them cheat, will you?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to lose, but she didn''t want the game to be unfair and lose its original meaning.


    Knowing her well, gu mohan naturally wouldn''t put her in a dilemma. He gave her a "Reassuring" look and then said, "They''re both professional and moral employees. I''ve seen them grow up. How can they use those underhanded tricks?"


    With gu mohan''s words, ye zhiqiao was relieved and looked at the staff expectantly, praying that she could achieve good results.


    At the end of the evaluation period, staff from all departments gathered to vote again, but this time, the votes were still one-sided.


    Looking at the motionless numbers on the writing board, Li Ruonan''s brows gradually furrowed, his face gloomy, his hands clenched, his body tensed up in anger, and even his shoulders trembled under closer inspection.


    Ye zhiqiao, on the other hand, had a relaxed look on her face and was looking forward to the comments from everyone.


    Among them, one of the personnel department staff''s comments was most pertinent: "Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao both have very unique planning and ingenious ideas. When I was in college, I majored in product marketing, so I have some understanding of this. Compared to ye zhiqiao, what''s lacking in Li Ruonan is that her mind is too jumpy, and there are many things that aren''t practical, but she thinks in her head but doesn''t connect with reality. And this, ye zhiqiao does much better."

 Chapter 349 To Attract Attention

    With that said, he raised ye zhiqiao''s proposal in midair and pointed to one of them and continued, "For example, the random selection of buyers for a return visit can not only learn about our shortcomings in work, but also convey to the buyers that we want to become a better gu''s positive idea, to close our relationship with the buyers."


    After a speech, there was thunderous applause, and even the sales staff followed gu mohan reluctantly to applaud.


    Ye zhiqiao stood up at the right time and said with a smile, "Thank you... Thank you for taking the initiative to evaluate our plan in the midst of all the complicated work. President gu, colleagues from all departments, and colleagues from the sales department, I really thank you. Here, I would like to thank my department manager, manager li. Thank you for your careful cultivation. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have made such great progress in a short time."


    Just as the words fell, there was another round of applause and cheers, but this time, the sales department did not move, only looked at ye zhiqiao coldly, with a very disdainful expression.


    However, no matter how reluctant, winning is winning, manager li still had to smile helplessly announced: "Then the first test is over, the winner is ye zhiqiao."


    Without waiting for a round of applause, he continued, "The next step is to enter the second test. The two candidates will find a way to attract the attention of the top management of the company before the lunch break and ask the top management to come personally, even if the task is completed. Whoever is fast wins. This is mainly to test your ability to innovate. Whether as a manager or a basic staff member, it is necessary to have a lively mind and dare to innovate."


    Then, following the principle of fairness and justice, gu mohan led the staff of other departments to leave first, leaving only his own people in the sales department.


    Li Ruonan saw that it was almost ten o'' clock, and there were only two hours left from the lunch break. She was anxious, and she was eager to win, and she lost the last round badly. So she took this opportunity seriously and left the office with a few good assistants.


    According to the rules, the place that attracted the top management was unlimited, so Li Ruonan chose the main hall of the company directly.


    There were a lot of people coming and going there, and if there was any commotion, it would be the quickest to reach the top of the company.


    Standing in the middle of the spacious and bright hall, Li Ruonan proudly raised the corner of his mouth and pointed to a male employee beside him, "You... Go and smash the pot of flowers next to you."


    Li Ruonan''s tone was as if he was discussing what to eat for lunch, but the male employee''s mouth was so open that he could put a fist in it. He approached Li Ruonan and gently reminded her, "Sister ruonan, that... That''s the green crown lotus tripod that president gu bought from abroad. Two years ago, the price was... Close to seven figures. I... I..."


    "What are you afraid of? It''s just a pot of flowers, scaring you like this?" Li Ruonan looked at him sideways and waved his hand for a long time, "Forget it, then... Well... Just smash the ordinary pot of flowers. I''ll pay for the compensation."


    After receiving Li Ruonan''s promise, the male employee readily agreed and rushed over to overturn the pot with the metal frame where it was placed.


    Bang!! Snap!!!"


    The sound of metal and porcelain hitting the marble floor was so loud that passers-by were shocked to stop.


    This kind of situation had met Li Ruonan''s expectations. Just as she was happily waiting for the high-level leaders to come and ask about the situation, a group of security personnel with batons suddenly rushed in and pressed the male staff to the ground between lightning and flint!!!!


    Li Ruonan was so shocked by the scene that her eyes widened. It was only when the male staff''s painful cry for mercy came that she was shocked. She rushed to the security guards and pulled them to ask loudly, "What are you doing?! How can I just hit someone?"


    The man with all the tendons pushed her aside without mercy and warned in a deep voice, "Go away! Don''t interfere with our mission! This kid is ruining the company''s finances. We need to bring him back for questioning!"


    "Ah?!" Hearing this, Li Ruonan finally realized that her plan to recruit the top management of the company had failed, not only failed, but also attracted this group of security guards who misunderstood the sabotage of the male staff!


    Looking at the twisted expression of the male employee in pain, she hurriedly stopped a few security guards and explained, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. He didn''t mean to break... Break, I told him to do it!"


    ...


    In a moment of silence, she suddenly realized that her words were too ambiguous and hurriedly added, "It''s not that, it''s... It''s because... Ah! We are employees of the sales department, and our department is undergoing a test to see who can find a way to attract the attention of the company''s senior management. We are doing this to test, if you don''t believe me, you can call and ask!"


    After a long series of words in one breath, Li Ruonan stroked her chest and gasped. During this time, he did not forget to observe the expressions of several security personnel, afraid that they would not believe her words and continued to fight.


    Fortunately, the gu family''s security personnel were professional and calmer when things happened. They immediately called the upper management according to Li Ruonan''s suggestion. Knowing that Li Ruonan was right, they reminded them a few words and left the hall in a line.


    After they left, Li Ruonan''s heart finally returned to her stomach.


    It was just a random idea that caused such a big mess, and the original goal was not achieved. After Li Ruonan calmed down, a sense of unwillingness arose.


    Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the end, she had to think of another way as soon as possible. It couldn''t be violent, so she had to take a gentle route.


    So she gathered all the employees in the sales department and asked them to do their best to spread the news in the company, saying that as long as someone could persuade any top management of the company to come to her side, she would pay the bonus, and the faster the bonus came, the more it would be.


    There were so many people and so much strength. In a short time, the news that Li Ruonan wanted to send money spread all over the company, from the top management to the cleaner''s aunt.


    But even if the top management knew, they wouldn''t come over. The cleaner''s aunt couldn''t get the top management to come over. Li Ruonan''s most hopeful company employee, no one dared to act.


    Of course, everyone wants money, but the price must be taken into account. No one knew what was going on in the hearts of the higher-ups. If they went to persuade them and disobeyed their ideas, they would lose both their husbands and their soldiers and have no place to cry.


    So Li Ruonan''s second plan failed!

 Chapter 350 No Win or Loss

    Both plans failed, and Li Ruonan lost all patience. Originally, she wanted to use her real ability to compete with ye zhiqiao, but now it seems that she must come up with a trump card.


    She learned the rules from manager li long before the test began, so she was prepared in advance. She asked her mother for help and found a manager of the gu family who promised to show up at the last minute.


    So she called in the male staff and asked him to go upstairs and invite the manager.


    I thought I would be safe this time, but I didn''t expect an accident.


    The male employee ran back in a hurry, panting heavily and said to Li Ruonan, "Sister ruonan, the secretary said that the manager is in a meeting, so there is no time to meet the guests for the time being."


    "Meeting?!" Li Ruonan frowned and said, "Which meeting is this? Manager li is still sitting in his office. Didn''t you hear him say he would?"


    "En... Er..." The male employee nodded in confusion and recalled for a moment, "Oh! The secretary''s sister seems to say that the manager was temporarily assigned to a meeting and had not been notified before."


    Li Ruonan''s eyes darkened when he heard the word "Temporary." He had to go to the meeting at this juncture and stand her up, obviously on purpose.


    "Do you know who arranged it?" Li Ruonan asked in an unfriendly tone.


    "This..." The male employee scratched his head, "I don''t know about this."


    Of course, the male staff would not know that it was gu mohan who wanted to maintain the fairness and justice of the test in secret. In order to suppress the manager, he arranged an irrelevant meeting. Besides, the population around gu mohan was very strict. He did not want to be known by the outside world, and would never be exposed.


    I don''t know who secretly ruined my good deed, and I can''t think of any other way to attract the attention of the senior management of the company. Even if Li Ruonan was anxious, she still went back to the office. She felt that she had no way to do something, and ye zhiqiao certainly couldn''t do it!


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was sitting quietly in her office, with sketch paper and pencil by her hand.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to draw a portrait for gu mohan to attract attention. Painting was her profession and there was no need to worry about it. So she had been paying attention to Li Ruonan''s movements before. When she heard that Li Ruonan had failed in destroying public property and threatening to pay for it, she came back in a daze and realized that there was nothing to see, so she was ready to start painting.


    But just as she was about to write, there was a sudden commotion in the office.


    Following everyone''s gaze, gu mohan was walking towards her with a worried face.


    "Why are you here?!" Ye zhiqiao hurriedly got up and asked, as surprised as the other colleagues.


    Gu mohan tilted his head and whispered, "I know I shouldn''t have come, but I''m really worried about your competition. Sitting in the office for more than an hour is too hard."


    In addition, Li Ruonan had already lost, and fear that Li Ruonan would be angry and hurt ye zhiqiao was also one of the reasons why he rushed over.


    Gu mohan purposely lowered his voice, only ye zhiqiao in front of him could hear what he said. Behind him, the sales department staff had become a mess, because his arrival foreshadowed ye zhiqiao''s victory in this competition.


    "That doesn''t count!!"


    Li Ruonan''s roar silenced the chaotic scene. Everyone, including gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, looked at her in confusion.


    Li Ruonan only stared at ye zhiqiao, his eyes filled with nothing but anger, "Ye zhiqiao didn''t do anything. It''s not a win at all! The only reason why president gu came was because of power..."


    "Using power for personal gain," she had wanted to say, but she swallowed it back.


    Now, not many people know about the relationship between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. Besides her, most people just suspect that there is an affair between them. If she says that gu mohan is using power for personal gain, then it indirectly proves that gu mohan cares about ye zhiqiao and has a good impression of ye zhiqiao.


    By then, what if she wins the test? The group of aggressive bedbugs would definitely turn to fawn on ye zhiqiao for the sake of gu mohan, and she would become a loner.


    These thoughts only flashed through her mind, and then she changed her mind and said, "President gu was only alarmed by the department''s movements. Coming to inspect the situation like the first test can''t be considered as being attracted by ye zhiqiao."


    She glanced at the clock and quickly continued, "It''s already 12 o'' clock sharp. Ye zhiqiao failed!"


    Gu mohan waited for her to finish. He looked up at the clock and said with a heavy gaze, "Why did I come here? You seem to know better than I do?"


    He really didn''t want to use power to help ye zhiqiao, but it was also true that he came because of ye zhiqiao. Li Ruonan denied ye zhiqiao''s results based on his own speculation, and he absolutely couldn''t allow it.


    His face was calm, and his eyes seemed to be filled with dark mist. Even the end of the question was slightly raised, which was a sign of his anger. He was about to help ye zhiqiao speak and teach Li Ruonan a lesson.


    Ye zhiqiao sensed his thoughts and quickly went forward to secretly pull his sleeve and soothe him with her eyes.


    Regardless of whether Li Ruonan''s words were deliberately provocative or not, what he meant was right. Although gu mohan was here, it had nothing to do with her or what she had done. It would be unfair to assume that she had won.


    "I am willing to cancel the results of this round." Ye zhiqiao said gracefully.


    As soon as her voice fell, everyone was shocked again. No one could have imagined that victory was in front of them.


    Li Ruonan, on the other hand, took it for granted and was proud of his eloquence.


    "But..." Ye zhiqiao paused and continued, "I didn''t get any results in the second test. Li Ruonan, you didn''t either, did you? Then let''s call it a draw. There''s no win or loss in this test."


    No win or loss!!!


    Hearing these three words, Li Ruonan''s face, which had been complacent just now, immediately collapsed, and his eyes were full of panic.


    Of course, there were only two trials in total, and this one was a no-win, but ye zhiqiao really beat her in the last one, so it was still ye zhiqiao who won 1-0!


    The result of the test was a surprise. Besides Li Ruonan and his colleagues'' bad looks, manager li was also worried. The reason why ye zhiqiao was chosen in this test was to let her serve as a stepping stone for Li Ruonan so that Li Ruonan could be officially appointed minister. But now, it went against his original intention.

 Chapter 351 An Answer to Gu Chengyan

    Seeing that the eyes of the crowd gradually gathered on him, just waiting for him to announce the results, manager li hesitated for a long time, but still said, "Well... This... This result ha... First, the second test is no win, the first one, ye zhiqiao... Win, so I... I think..."


    He placed his hands on his desk and tapped his index finger unconsciously for a while before continuing, "I don''t think the result of the second test is very good, or... Let''s play another round, which will make us more convincing, right?"


    Li Ruonan''s joy and gu mohan''s anger were the most obvious.


    Without waiting for Li Ruonan to support manager li''s view, gu mohan had already said in a deep voice, "Manager li, the extra round is a bit far-fetched. The outcome is already decided. There is no reason to do so."


    Manager li chuckled a few times and rubbed his palms, "Mr. Gu, you don''t know anything. There was actually an extra round when the rules were first announced, so..."


    "The rules of the competition for the head of the sales department..." Gu mohan interrupted him and looked up at him for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "When I was bored, I scanned my eyes. It did mention the extra round, but the background was when the two candidates won a test and the battle was tied. But now, the first test is ye zhiqiao''s victory, and the second test is no victory. Does it match the background of the playoffs?"


    Manager li''s suggestion of a play-off was a gamble, but gu Mohan understood the rules so thoroughly that he could no longer argue, so he nodded and said, "President gu is right. There is no need to play any more."


    Alas -


    He sighed in his heart and finally announced loudly, "Today''s election for minister is officially over. According to the performance of the two trials, I declare that the winner is... Ye zhiqiao!"


    Ignoring his last unwilling voice and the expression of eating a fly, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were very satisfied with the result. However, it was not the time to celebrate, so many outsiders were present. Gu mohan could not get close to ye zhiqiao, so he had to act as a leader, offer perfunctory greetings, and then left the sales department.


    "President gu!"


    As soon as gu mohan reached the elevator, a loud female voice followed him. These two days, the voice appeared a little frequently. He didn''t need to look back to know who it was, but after he knew who it was... He didn''t want to look back.


    "President gu, I have something to tell you!" Li Ruonan trotted over to gu mohan, grabbed his arm and said in a sweet voice, "Why are you walking so fast? Is it because of the long legs? I can''t even catch up when I run."


    Ouch -


    Gu mo han closed his eyes, endured the disgusting feeling, waved his hand away from Li Ruonan''s arm and said coldly, "What''s the matter?"


    Li Ruonan seemed to be unaware of their disgust and smiled, "Oh, well, manager li said that the minister has been chosen and there are still many follow-up work to discuss with you, so he specially sent me to communicate with you... This is not a place to talk. Let''s go to your office or go out and talk, shall we?"


    Change places? Are you sure you won''t reveal your true colors and use the name of business to flirt and seduce? Gu mohan thought to himself.


    Li Ruonan''s thoughts, he had long been able to feel through it, it would be strange if she got her hands on it!


    "No, it''s all business. Your manager has been following the procedure for so many years. Don''t you even understand this rule?"


    Gu mohan scolded, then walked into the elevator just in time to leave Li Ruonan''s burning eyes in the slowly closed elevator door.


    By this time, the office had returned to its former tranquility, the minister had been selected, the work should be back on track, and gu chengyan, who had been hiding in the dark all morning to observe the situation, returned to his post.


    Holding a cup of tea in her hand, she went straight to ye zhiqiao''s desk and placed it beside her gently.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the teacup in surprise and looked up, "Where did you get these?"


    Ye zhiqiao loved to drink tea, but working in the company was too time-consuming to make tea, so she generally did not drink it. Although gu chengyan understood her habit, but specially made tea for her to send, still made her feel flattered.


    "Don''t you like it? I bought it specially." Gu chengyan sat down beside her with a smile and looked at the proposal she was writing. He curled his lips and broke the silence, "I have something to do today. I can''t watch your competition. I''m sorry."


    "Yeah, it''s okay." Ye zhiqiao shook her head and continued her work.


    Seeing that she had no intention of chatting, gu chengyan gave up trying to get close to her and directly explained his intention, "Last time... What did you think about that thing I told you?"


    She was referring to working together against Li Ruonan.


    Yesterday afternoon, she had discussed this with gu mohan, but after that, she had been concentrating on running for minister. Ye zhiqiao had forgotten about it. After gu chengyan reminded her, she finally remembered.


    No wonder gu chengyan bought the teacup and made the tea himself. It turned out that he was making a show of kindness!


    However, it was useless to make up for it. Ye zhiqiao had already decided to listen to gu mohan''s suggestion and reject gu chengyan''s request.


    Gu chengyan''s expression was full of anticipation, as if she could jump up in excitement as soon as ye zhiqiao nodded. The more she did this, the more stressed ye zhiqiao felt. She could only say apologetically, "Sorry, I thought about it... I thought about it very seriously, but I still feel... I still don''t think it''s appropriate..."


    She pursed her lips and added, "But I really appreciate your willingness to believe me. We''ll still be friends in the future. I... Will continue?"


    "Chengyan?"


    Before ye zhiqiao could finish what she was about to say, gu chengyan had already curled his lips coldly, snorted and left the office resolutely.


    I didn''t expect that after waiting for so long and putting so much effort into it, I finally got a rejection!


    Gu chengyan was never the one who was willing to give her all for the good results. She asked herself that this time she had used the greatest sincerity in history, so ye zhiqiao''s refusal undoubtedly broke all her beautiful fantasies and caused her an immeasurable harm.


    When she was hurt, embarrassed and angry, the only thing she could think of was revenge!


    Ye zhiqiao did not believe that she would not cooperate with her, so she would turn around and kill ye zhiqiao!!

 Chapter 352 Change Partners

    "Bastard! Bastard!!"


    "Only if you are blind can you fall in love with a woman like ye zhiqiao!"


    "No taste! Do you think I need you?!"


    With a few shrill shouts, the sound of banging was heard in the cubicle, and one could imagine how angry the people inside were at the moment.


    Gu chengyan, who had no place to vent her anger, was only separated by a door panel.


    "All right, I can hear your voice for miles around." Gu chengyan reminded him lightly, then walked to the window and leaned against it, waiting for Li Ruonan to come out.


    Sure enough, just as she stood still, Li Ruonan pushed the door open with a dark face and asked angrily, "Why are you here? Are you disgusting, listening in the corner of the bathroom?!"


    Gu chengyan spread his hands and asked helplessly, "Do you think I want to? I almost lost control of myself in the bathroom. Cut!"


    Li Ruonan knew he was in the wrong, looked a little embarrassed, and turned to leave.


    Gu chengyan quickly stopped her, "Hey, don''t leave in a hurry. I have something to tell you!"


    "What are you doing?!" Li Ruonan hugged her arms, expressing her impatience all over her body.


    Gu chengyan took a breath and then asked, "What you said before... That... Let me come to your side and deal with ye zhiqiao with you. Does that count?"


    "Oh?" When Li Ruonan heard that gu chengyan was going to "Betray the enemy," his anger dissipated and he asked with a mocking smile, "Aren''t you very loyal to the lord? Why, ye zhiqiao is not good to you, so she thinks of me?"


    Li Ruonan deliberately insulted gu chengyan with words, but gu chengyan endured it. Instead of exploding, he sneered and nodded, "Yes, she can''t see my advantage, so can you?"


    Gu chengyan came to Li Ruonan specifically to work with Li Ruonan to deal with ye zhiqiao and to vent his anger, so no matter how terrible Li Ruonan said at this time, she would accept it.


    But Li Ruonan looked down on her even more than ye zhiqiao.


    "What can you do? I remember that I could only see you wagging your tail and begging ye zhiqiao, or barking in front of me. Besides that, do you have the ability to take it?"


    Li Ruonan looked her up and down several times, sighed and shook his head, "I can''t tell. You might as well climb another branch!"


    "Wait a minute!"


    Seeing that Li Ruonan was about to leave after rejecting her, gu chengyan stopped her again, changed his previous good words, and instead said with some disdain, "You just go back and watch ye zhiqiao become a minister, and then always watch her look and act? Can you swallow that?"


    Li Ruonan naturally could not swallow this breath, but the election was over, she lost to ye zhiqiao in front of so many people, what else could she do?


    "What do you want to say?" She asked, glancing sideways at gu chengyan.


    "Revenge. I want to help you get back at her." Gu chengyan stood in front of her and said word for word, "You don''t believe my ability now, but tonight, I will prove it to you. As long as you do as I say, I promise you will avenge and resolve your hatred!"


    "What can you do?" Li Ruonan asked in disbelief.


    Gu chengyan stared at a certain corner, and the smile on his lips gradually became dangerous, "You don''t have to worry about that. In short, I will hold gu mohan back after work. When ye zhi happens to be alone, you can do whatever you want."


    "Can you stop gu mohan?!" Li Ruonan asked in surprise.


    Just now, she had failed to get along with gu mohan alone by reporting the situation. Gu chengyan was an unknown newcomer. How could she hold him back?


    Gu chengyan said confidently, "I told you, you don''t have to worry about anything else. Just tell me if I agree or not."


    Gu chengyan tried to hold gu mohan back. She taught ye zhiqiao a lesson. In any case, this was a business that only earned and didn''t lose. Li Ruonan would not refuse, no matter whether it was a success or a failure.


    "All right then." Li Ruonan nodded and said hesitantly, "I''ll give you this chance for the time being, but if anything happens in the middle, I''ll quit at any time."


    Gu chengyan blinked, "Deal!"


    The two reached an agreement. After leaving the bathroom, gu chengyan found a corner that no one had passed by and quietly called Li Qian.


    It has been a long time since I used Li Qian''s sword. I have to repay her for taking so many benefits.


    "Director gu." On the other side, Li Qian picked up the phone in a calm tone, but his heart was already surging. She knew that gu chengyan was going to use her as a gun again.


    Sure enough, gu chengyan then told her to stall gu mohan after work.


    Li Qian already knew how difficult it was for gu mohan to deal with, so she was a little embarrassed about what gu chengyan had told her, "It''s not easy for gu mohan... To be interested in him, is it?"


    "Why would I look for you if it was easy?!" Gu chengyan scolded her angrily, then said, "Remember, you must never let gu mohan appear. Only then will ye zhiqiao be left alone, and I will have the opportunity to deal with her. I have spent a lot of effort on you. Don''t let me down."


    "...


    The more she talked to gu chengyan, the deeper the sneer on Li Qian''s lips. She was standing in front of the sink and looking at herself in the mirror, her eyes were filled with horror.


    "Okay, I promise you."


    If she wasn''t asked to help, then she would. She was just going to do something about it, but it wasn''t gu chengyan''s turn to intervene.


    After the call with gu chengyan ended, Li Qian immediately packed up and left the house. Her first stop was the gu building.


    Gu''s group will be off work soon. Just as the students are looking forward to school, the tired staff who have been working all day are excited to wait for the time to get off work. Ye zhiqiao tidied up the things on her desk and prepared to use the last time to list the work plans for tomorrow.


    Just then, a familiar figure flashed past Yu Guangzhong.


    All the offices were separated by glass. The person she had just seen should have passed by in the corridor. Although she couldn''t remember who the owner of that figure was, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but follow him curiously.


    I don''t know if it was intentional or not. Ever since ye zhiqiao caught up with him, that person had been walking in front of ye zhiqiao not too far away. If ye zhiqiao followed too close, she would walk a few steps quickly. If ye zhiqiao couldn''t catch up with her, she would reappear...


    So many times, it was only after turning a corner into the silent staircase that the figure completely disappeared.

 Chapter 353 Be Careful!

    Ye zhiqiao searched around and couldn''t find the figure of that person anymore. She shook her head strangely and was about to turn back when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a paper tube stuck with glue on the handrail of the stairs.


    The paper tube was not big, and the material was similar to the usual post-it. When ye zhiqiao opened it, she found that it was indeed an ordinary post-it.


    But what was written on it did not seem ordinary.


    "Be careful!"


    Two words and an exclamation point. There was no other sentence.


    Ye zhiqiao frowned. If she usually saw it, she would think it was just a silly prank, but the person who brought her here just now seemed to want her to see this note, so the authenticity of what was written on it was worth thinking about.


    No one would have gone to such lengths to make such a silly joke.


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao''s expression became solemn, and her right hand unconsciously clenched the note tightly.


    The man reminded her to be careful, but what? Someone or something? She knew nothing about it.


    Li qian stood on a few flights of stairs and saw ye zhiqiao''s expression through the crack. She knew that ye zhiqiao had taken her reminder to heart, so she took a light step and continued walking upstairs.


    What she wanted to do next was to find a way to stall gu mohan.


    Gu mohan was so shrewd that it was possible for him to find out if he was a little more obvious, so she had to choose an insurance method and adopt a roundabout strategy.


    So she contacted one of her former friends and asked them to make an excuse to talk to gu about cooperation. She invited gu mohan to a restaurant a little further away and tried to stall for time so that gu mohan could come back as late as possible.


    Li Qian used to work in the studio of jian mengqi. Because of her cheerful personality, she made a lot of friends and had a wide network. Not long after, her friend gave a positive answer.


    ...


    At six in the afternoon, it was time for gu to get off work.


    At noon, gu Mohan arranged to go home with ye zhiqiao, and went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients to celebrate ye zhiqiao getting the position of minister, so ye zhiqiao took the bag and walked quickly in the front, ready to find an inconspicuous corner in advance to wait for gu mohan.


    But she waited for a long time and only got a call from gu mohan.


    "I''m sorry, zhiqiao, but a customer suddenly asked me to talk about cooperation. The list is not small. If we succeed, we can immediately raise the gu''s performance this quarter, so I can''t take you back, okay?" Gu mohan''s tone was a little awkward, and he was very sorry for not believing what he said.


    If it was normal, ye zhiqiao would definitely want gu mohan to pay attention to his work. Anyway, she often went home alone, which was nothing. But today, after reading that note, her heart was always faintly uncomfortable.


    "I..."


    She bit her lips and was about to say what she had received the note, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn''t help but give up.


    Because she knew that if she told her about it, gu mohan would come over to protect her regardless of anything, and then the business would definitely be ruined. If the words on the note were true, it wouldn''t matter, but she couldn''t be sure whether it was true or not. If gu mohan was worried about a prank and lost such a good list, how could she be happy?


    After weighing the pros and cons, ye zhiqiao took a breath and said, "Okay, then you should concentrate on your work. I often go back on my own. It doesn''t matter. Just in time, I can still blow the wind."


    The client was so anxious that gu mohan did not notice her unusual behavior and directly comforted her, "Be good, then let''s push back the celebration... Tomorrow, tomorrow, how about buying vegetables to celebrate?"


    "Okay." Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded and hung up the phone.


    "By the way, I was still worried about you leaving alone, so I called qin bai..." Gu mohan was halfway through his speech when he heard the "Beep" from the opposite side and realized that ye zhiqiao had already closed the line.


    He originally wanted to tell ye zhiqiao that he called Qin Baiye to pick her up, but it should be almost time for Qin Baiye. If he didn''t find her, Qin Baiye would definitely call and ask, so he didn''t call her back, but took the car keys and rushed to the appointment.


    On the other side, ye zhiqiao put away her phone and walked out of the corner towards the bus stop.


    Originally, she took the subway to work, but in order to avoid being seen and heard by gu mohan, she went out of the company door and went directly to the opposite direction of the subway station. Now the bus station was closer to her. Although the place was a bit chaotic in the downtown area, but for the sake of saving time, she would.


    "Ye zhiqiao..."


    In the middle of the walk, a playful voice suddenly sounded behind him.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately realized that it was Li Ruonan.


    I don''t know why I can meet miss li in the smoky downtown area. Ye zhiqiao sighed and turned around, but was shocked by the scene in front of her.


    Because besides Li Ruonan, there were about five or six young men who appeared in front of her at the same time, all staring at her with unfriendly eyes.


    Li Ruonan''s intentions were clear. It was not that they had a narrow friendship, but that Li Ruonan was prepared.


    Looking at the tall and big men, ye zhiqiao felt a little nervous, but her face remained calm and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Li Ruonan snorted and asked, "Don''t you know what I''m looking for? Ye! Department! Long!"


    The last three words, she said through clenched teeth, were evident in her anger.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her and replied calmly, "The notice hasn''t come down yet. I''m not yet."


    "No? Hahaha..." Li Ruonan grinned for a long time as if he had heard a joke. Then suddenly, his eyes widened and he snapped, "What are you pretending to be?! Aren''t you confident? Aren''t you proud of defeating me? Why are you so modest now?"


    She tilted her head to look at the man next to her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Or do you see yourself in a weak position, so you deliberately pretend to be good and try to fool me?"


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and swept her eyes with the corner of her eye.


    It was a shady road, and although there were many merchants around, they were busy doing business. No one noticed their situation, and even if they did, they would probably think that it was just a hooligan fighting, and just stood by on the principle that more was better than less.


    And because this road is in the downtown area, the security management is not good. If the police call the police, the police can''t arrive soon.


    She was now in a state of complete isolation and helplessness. If she really angered Li Ruonan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

 Chapter 354 Cold Face God

    "Speak up! Mute?" Seeing ye zhiqiao lowering her head and wondering what she was thinking, Li Ruonan impatiently reminded her.


    Li Ruonan had a large number of people and was naturally more confident than the weak ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao did not dare to confront her, so she asked kindly, "If you have something to say, just say it. I have to wait for the bus."


    "You take the bus?" Li Ruonan asked in surprise. Then he glanced at the bus stop in the distance, rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "I thought you hooked up with gu mohan and could at least get some benefits out of it. Is gu mohan an iron rooster? You didn''t even pull out a single cent?"


    Li Ruonan thought that the relationship between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan was a one-night stand or something, and ye zhiqiao could not tell her the real relationship between the two, so she could not explain it, so she had to keep quiet.


    Ye zhiqiao was silent again. Li Ruonan was as upset as a fist on cotton. Compared to now, she hoped that ye zhiqiao would stand up and fight against her, so that she could vent her anger.


    "Ye zhiqiao, did you hear what I asked you?"


    Li Ruonan and a few men behind him slowly approached ye zhiqiao''s position. The men dispersed and pretended to surround ye zhiqiao in the middle.


    Ye zhiqiao reacted quickly and retreated to a big tree before they surrounded her. She was close to the road behind her, so that if there was an emergency, she could escape to the road to gain a glimmer of hope.


    However, Li Ruonan didn''t do it directly as she thought. Instead, he glared at her discontentedly and asked in a deep voice, "Speak! What''s going on between you and gu mohan? Or you can tell me what you did to hook gu mohan up. As long as you tell me the truth, I won''t do anything to you."


    After all, Li Ruonan was still loyal to gu Mohan. Ye zhiqiao shook her head helplessly and said, "We are not what you think. You misunderstood..."


    "Are you still stubborn?!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s perfunctory words completely angered Li Ruonan. Li Ruonan frowned and pointed at her nose angrily, "I warn you, ye zhiqiao, in the future, you should be honest with me. Whether you are a minister or about gu mohan, if I find out that you dare to do something bad, don''t blame me for being rude!"


    "...


    The woman''s shrill voice blew in through the half-open window with the cool evening breeze. Qin Baiye subconsciously glanced at the crowd, but after that glance, he slammed on the brakes!


    The man who was surrounded by several men and scolded by a woman pointed at his nose was exactly the ye zhiqiao he was looking for.!


    Seeing this, Qin Baiye quickly got out of the car, looked quickly at both sides of the road and crossed the road, trotting to ye zhiqiao''s side.


    Standing next to ye zhiqiao, Qin Baiye immediately realized that the situation was not right. Originally, he thought ye zhiqiao was just in trouble on the road, but according to the current atmosphere, it seemed to be seeking revenge.


    "What happened?" He stared at Li Ruonan and asked ye zhiqiao in a low voice.


    When Qin Baiye arrived, ye zhiqiao was relieved. She glanced at Li Ruonan, then pursed her lips and said, "It''s my colleague. We... Have some conflicts."


    Conflict?


    Qin Baiye was expressionless, but he glanced at the men around him and thought to himself, "Ordinary conflicts need so many helpers?" They''re all men, so it''s nice to bully a woman?


    Before he could speak again, Li Ruonan had already asked angrily, "Who are you? Who are you? We''re talking about something. It''s none of your business. Mind your own business!"


    Li Ruonan had studied abroad before and didn''t know much about the situation at home, but her helpers today were all from friends in the rich circle. Some of them were sharp-eyed. Recognizing Qin Baiye''s identity, she came to Li Ruonan and reminded him, "Sister nan, this is the eldest son of the qin family, Qin Baiye. Let''s... Let''s not conflict with him..."


    His voice was not loud, and Qin Baiye did not hear what he said, but from the slightly crinkled look in his eyes, Qin Baiye immediately understood something.


    So, Qin Baiye took advantage of the situation and said, "Zhiqiao is my girlfriend''s best friend, her business is my business, in other words, to oppose her is to oppose me... It seems that you did not have time to do too much before, so I opened up the net and quickly left!"


    Qin Baiye was known as a cold-faced god in the circle, rarely talking much, and rarely getting close to people. At this time, he was obviously protecting ye zhiqiao, the relationship between the two can be seen.


    The men had been giving in since they recognized Qin Baiye. Now that he had said something like that, they didn''t dare to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Li Ruonan in a hurry, they ran away in two and three steps.


    Looking at the back of the few people running away, Li Ruonan was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Coward!!"


    But no matter how angry he was, the situation in front of him could not change. The time when she was full of confidence had passed, and now she was facing two people alone, and listening to the group of "Cowards," the man surnamed qin seemed to be very powerful.


    Li Ruonan had always been well protected, basically nurturing her character of a rat carrying a gun in a hole. She could bully others, but she could not fight alone, so she wanted to leave as soon as she saw the situation.


    But Qin Baiye could let those unimportant people go, but not her "Mastermind."


    Qin Baiye took a step forward with his long legs and reached out to grab her shoulder.


    Li Ruonan was shocked by his sudden pressure. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he screamed, "Don''t touch me! Let go of me!! You dare to touch me... You... I tell you I''m not afraid of you, the power behind me scares you to death. You... Be careful!!"


    Qin Baiye was taken aback by her exceptionally intense reaction and was about to ask ye zhiqiao about the background of her colleague. When she turned her head, she noticed that she was walking towards them, gu chengyan.


    Gu chengyan was not alone, and there were three men behind her. However, these three were incomparable to those of Li Ruonan. They were tall, short, fat and thin, but they were all soft persimmons.


    Qin Baiye knew exactly how gu chengyan had tried to deal with ye zhiqiao in the past. As soon as Li Ruonan''s men left, gu chengyan immediately brought them over. Qin Baiye naturally thought that gu chengyan was the "Power behind" that Li Ruonan had described.


    Since the "Forces behind" had arrived, Qin Baiye mercifully let go of Li Ruonan and turned to look at gu chengyan and the man behind her.


    "Did you do it again?" Qin Baiye asked slowly.

 Chapter 355 Mother Gus Phone Call

    ???


    Gu chengyan was confused by Qin Baiye''s question. She just felt that Li Ruonan had almost stopped ye zhi by chance, so she brought someone over to join in the fun and help to improve Li Ruonan''s favor of her. However, as soon as she got close to her, she realized that something was wrong and was wondering if she should leave for a while, so she was caught by Qin Baiye.


    While she was in a hurry to figure out the countermeasures, Qin Baiye was already impatient to wait. Catch the thief and catch the king first. Since gu chengyan was Li Ruonan''s backer, he should teach gu chengyan a lesson first.


    He was the first to look at the three men behind gu chengyan, who were all in a daze. He raised his fist and rushed up.


    Three against one, but the three men were no match for Qin Baiye at all. After a few rounds, they were beaten to death by him. Before they could even look at gu chengyan again, they covered their heads and ran around.


    Gu chengyan was so shrewd that when she saw that Qin Baiye would never give up and that all her helpers had fled, she took advantage of Qin Baiye''s conversation with ye zhiqiao and ran away without noticing her, leaving only Li Ruonan shivering in his spot.


    By the time Qin Baiye realized it, even gu chengyan could not be seen.


    The person who wanted to teach him the most was gone, so Qin Baiye had to take the second place and prepare to take Li Ruonan to the knife. Anyway, the first scene he saw when he came over was Li Ruonan pointing at ye zhiqiao''s nose and scolding her, so it was appropriate to punish her slightly.


    Li Ruonan was so scared that her breath stopped when she saw Qin Baiye approaching her with a sullen face. She could see clearly how Qin Baiye had taught those men just now. If it were her, she wouldn''t have been able to take a punch.


    And Li Ruonan was even less hopeful that Qin Baiye would let her go.


    Li Ruonan shrank his shoulders and closed his eyes, giving up the fight. Qin Baiye''s raised hand suddenly stopped.


    Because ye zhiqiao, who was standing quietly by the side, suddenly said, "Forget it."


    "Let her go this time since she''s a first time offender." Ye zhiqiao moved closer to Qin Baiye and continued in a low voice, "I appreciate your kindness, but hitting a woman here is not good for you."


    Originally, she was helping gu mohan to take care of ye zhiqiao. Since ye zhiqiao said no and Qin Baiye was not stubborn, she nodded and stepped back to the car across the road to wait.


    Only ye zhiqiao and Li Ruonan were left. Whether they were frightened by Qin Baiye or moved by ye zhiqiao''s actions, Li Ruonan looked at ye zhiqiao with a rare lack of hostility in his eyes. Instead, he looked like a timid little girl.


    But even so, the words that should be said cannot be omitted.


    Ye zhiqiao walked up to her and warned her word by word, "Did you hear that? I let you go because you''re a first time offender, but if I do it again, I''m sure I won''t be soft-hearted."


    "...


    "Let''s go." Ye zhiqiao lifted her chin and asked her to leave.


    As Li Ruonan walked slowly away, today''s farce finally came to an end. Thanks to Qin Baiye''s help, ye zhi managed to escape, and Li Ruonan and gu chengyan''s plans fell through.


    However, Li Qian''s plan was very successful. She sent help to stall gu mohan''s friend and dutifully did not release gu mohan until late at night.


    After entering the house, gu mohan had just sat down beside ye zhiqiao to take a breath. After listening to ye zhiqiao talk about what happened after work, mother gu''s phone immediately chased after her.


    Without even guessing, gu mohan knew what she was going to say, but there was no way to escape, so he answered with a sad face.


    "Hey, Mohan! Ruonan was bullied. Do you know about this?"


    Mother gu came up and said to Li Ruonan. Gu mohan snorted in displeasure and then said, "I heard about it. What''s wrong?"


    "Ouch," grumbled Mrs. Gu, "Why didn''t you help me when I heard about it? Ruonan is the daughter of a good friend of mine. I went to work at the gu family just to let you take care of her, but how did you..."


    "During the day off, her personal safety is not under my control." Gu mohan interrupted her impatiently, then added, "And even during working hours, she took the initiative to pick a fight and fight with people. It''s not my business."


    Gu mohan was the best at making cold arrows at people. His mother choked on him. She was embarrassed and her tone became worse, "Then don''t treat Ruonan as an ordinary gu employee. Take care of her more often. And today''s incident. You should also find out who bullied Ruonan. You must teach that person to vent your anger on Ruonan!"


    Isn''t the person who taught Li Ruonan a lesson, the Qin Baiye he found? Hmph! It was Li Ruonan''s good fortune that he didn''t have the chance to teach Li Ruonan a lesson in person. It was a pipe dream to expect him to help with revenge!


    "Impossible." Gu mo coldly refused, "She is willing to settle down to work at gu shi. I will never take care of her alone, and she was'' bullied''... Did she tell you the reason? She provoked Zhiqiao first and wanted to hurt Zhiqiao, so she deserved it."


    Li Ruonan didn''t have much in mind, so she went to her mother to cry when she was wronged. She usually told her everything, whether she was reasonable or unreasonable, so mother gu already knew the reason for today''s incident.


    But between Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao, mother gu would definitely support Li Ruonan unconditionally, so she explained to gu mohan, "Ruonan is honest and told me everything. Yes, she was a little impulsive today, but she didn''t hurt ye zhiqiao in the end, did she? Besides, the reason why she and ye zhiqiao had a conflict is still ye zhiqiao."


    "I heard that ye zhiqiao''s nose and eyes have never been on Ruonan since the first time we met, and she has always been on the opposite side of her. And their sales department... The matter of choosing a minister, do you know how long Ruonan has been preparing and how much effort he has put into it? But ye zhiqiao came to fight with her again. I don''t believe that ye zhiqiao would have won against Ruonan without your help. So..."


    "Mom, you..." Gu mohan couldn''t bear to hear her quibble about Li Ruonan and couldn''t help interrupting.


    But mother gu''s attitude was very strong. She raised her voice and said, "Listen to me! I don''t care what''s going on between you and ye zhiqiao, but Ruonan, you have to take care of me, and the people who bullied Ruonan, you have to find them as soon as possible!"


    Mother gu seemed to have taken on the demeanor of the head of the household to order gu mohan. If it was not important, gu mohan could give her this face, but it was related to ye zhiqiao, but firmly not!

 Chapter 356 Little Treasures Song

    Gu mohan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down and talk to his mother again, but she couldn''t help but urge him, "Did you hear what I said? You have to do what I say this time. If you don''t want to do it, then find that person. I''ll personally send someone to teach you a lesson. It''s just one..."


    "Who are you trying to teach?!" Gu mohan lost all his patience and shouted, "To tell you the truth, it was Li Ruonan who I sent someone to teach you a lesson. If she dares to hurt Zhiqiao, I will make her pay her back even more. This time, zhiqiao was kind enough to let her go. Otherwise, do you think Li Ruonan would still be able to complain to you in one piece?!"


    Gu mohan roared angrily, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. When gu mother heard him say these words, she was no less angry than him.


    "It''s you? You want to hurt Ruonan? Are you crazy?!" Mother gu scolded angrily, "You know Ruonan''s relationship with me and you''re looking for someone to teach her a lesson. Do you want to give her a good look or hit me in the face?! And don''t you know Ruonan''s background? It used to be yan yan, then shen mo nong, and now it''s Ruonan. What do you want? Huh?! Do you want to fall out with the whole business circle for one ye zhiqiao?!"


    "They''re the ones who do everything first, and do you think I''m afraid of falling out with those people?"


    Gu mohan said slowly with a gloomy tone. Even through the electric current, he could feel his imposing manner.


    But mother gu, who was gu mohan''s mother, continued to rely on her old age and said, "Well, you''re not afraid. You''re not afraid of anything! But have you ever thought about your parents? As I said, I like Ruonan a lot, but isn''t it too much for you to treat her like this? You can hurt the person I like, so you can deal with the person you value as well?!"


    The person gu mohan valued, of course, was ye zhiqiao.


    Gu mohan was a loner, with only a few friends and even fewer people in his heart. However, if anyone dared to touch them, gu mohan would not tolerate them.


    Not only did mother gu''s threat not work, it just touched gu mohan''s bottom line. Being touched the bottom line, regardless of whether the other party was a mother or someone else, gu mohan would not have any scruples.


    If you still want Li Ruonan to live, don''t touch ye zhiqiao. I''m not trying to scare you with that."


    Mother gu could naturally hear how sincere gu mohan was when he said this. She could even imagine the expression and manner of gu mohan when he spoke.


    However, mother gu was not a person without courage and courage. She was so anxious by gu mo''s coldness that she said angrily, "Okay, then try to kill Li Ruonan!!"


    Then, with a bang, mother gu broke the phone.


    "Huh-"


    Gu mohan heaved a deep sigh and allowed himself to lean back and sink into the soft sofa, but the fatigue couldn''t be relieved.


    As a businessman, he fought with difficult opponents and customers every day, fought with his subordinates with different thoughts, finally returned home, and even threatened and quarreled with his relatives. Even an iron man would not be able to bear it at this moment.


    However, he did not have much time to rest. Just after he heard about ye zhiqiao, he received a call from his mother. Until now, he had no time to care about ye zhiqiao, so he sat up again and pulled ye zhiqiao, who was peeling oranges, into his arms. He stroked her silky long hair and said in a warm voice, "Were you scared at that time? Are you hurt? If I had picked you up from work as promised, this wouldn''t have happened. Next time, I promise to keep my word. I''m sorry."


    "What are you apologizing for? I''m fine, aren''t I? Qin Baiye is very brave and fearless under your orders. If I hadn''t stopped him, Li Ruonan would have had to make him a first degree disabled." Ye zhiqiao was deliberately exaggerating to make him happy. She had heard all of gu mohan''s phone calls just now and understood how difficult gu mohan was in right now, so all she could do was to minimize gu mohan''s burden and not cause him any trouble.


    Gu mohan also understood what she was thinking. He forced a smile and lowered his head to lightly imprint a kiss on her head.


    Ye zhiqiao patted his chest and said, "Okay, haven''t you had dinner yet? It''s getting late. I''ll make some supper for you."


    "Don''t bother." Gu mohan held her hand and was reluctant to let go.


    "What''s the trouble? Irregular diet is bad for your stomach. You must eat a little." Ye zhiqiao took the opportunity to pull him up and pointed to the bathroom, "You can go wash up first. After dinner, brush your teeth and go straight to bed."


    Gu mohan glanced at the empty bathroom with lowered eyebrows and shook his head unhappily, "It''s boring to be alone. I''d better go to the kitchen with you."


    He was not a child, and he still had to keep up with the adults. Ye zhiqiao was about to reject him, but little treasure came out of the bedroom slowly with his eyes rubbed.


    "Little treasure, do you want to go to the bathroom?" Ye zhiqiao bent down to pick up little treasure and asked softly.


    "No... Dad..." Little treasure smacked his mouth and it took him a long time to wake up. Then he said in a milky voice, "I want to be with dad and aunt ye..."


    Oh, I heard the sound, so I got up to accompany them.


    Today, little treasure went to bed a little earlier than usual. Now, get up and play for a while. It doesn''t matter if he goes to bed later.


    Ye zhiqiao secretly smiled helplessly at gu mohan, then carried little treasure to the kitchen.


    Thus, the number of people that ye zhiqiao had originally determined to cook supper changed from one to three in an instant.


    It was very simple to make a midnight snack without any help. Ye zhiqiao could do it by herself. In order to ease the boring atmosphere, xiao bao volunteered to sing the new children''s song, while gu mohan leaned aside to clap her hands and beat the beat.


    Amen, amen, a grape tree


    Ah nuan, ah nuan, the green field has just sprouted


    The snail carried the heavy shell.


    Step by step, step by step, climb up


    ...


    ...


    Ah huang, ah huang, oriole, don''t laugh


    When I climb on it, it will mature.


    "Okay!"


    The little musician finished his song, and gu mohan was the first to shout out in praise. Ye zhiqiao also put down the spatula in her hand and clapped her hands. She praised him repeatedly, "Our little treasure is really good. The children''s song that we just learned today is so beautiful!"


    "Of course, like me, I have a talent for vocal music!" Gu mohan boasted proudly.


    Ye zhiqiao and little treasure looked at each other in tacit agreement, covered their mouths and secretly smiled, not exposing him.


    Gu mohan, however, looked insulted and raised his eyebrows deliberately, "I just have talent. Don''t you believe me? Just sing it to you if you don''t believe me!"

 Chapter 357 Still Saved

    Gu mohan did not show off his singing ability, but he and ye zhiqiao were indeed in a much happier mood because of one song by little treasure, and most of the haze had cleared up.


    The supper was ready, and ye zhiqiao was eating with gu mohan at the table, while little treasure was watching cartoons with toys on the sofa. The family was having a good time, and the time at night was warm and sweet.


    Ye zhiqiao added some bitter melons to gu mohan that he didn''t like, and stared at him and ate them painfully. Then she smiled lightly, put down her chopsticks, and propped her chin up with her arm, "Mohan, what auntie just said, or you can think about it again."


    "My mom said that?"


    Gu mohan paused for a moment, frowned and recalled, then asked, "What is it?"


    "It''s... Taking care of Li Ruonan..." Ye zhiqiao also seemed to find it difficult to talk about this matter. After all, gu mohan even fell out with his mother over this matter, but now she wants gu mohan to change his mind.


    But after thinking about it and thinking about it for a long time, she still felt that there was a chance.


    "I think you can take care of Li Ruonan as auntie said."


    Gu mohan put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Why? Are you... Joking or... Testing me?"


    "Neither." Ye zhiqiao quickly denied it and then explained, "I have been with Li Ruonan for quite some time since I entered the gu family. Although she is always arrogant and has a very annoying young lady''s temper, I think she is not bad in nature. Well... She is more like a child who has not grown up and wants to be noticed and held in the hands of others."


    The more gu mohan listened, the more confused he became. He tilted his head and said, "So? Because, like a child, all the wrong things you did before can be ignored? She''s an adult, and no one has the obligation to do what she wants."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded. She understood what gu mohan had said and thought it over and over again in her heart.


    "I''m not ignoring her mistakes. I just want to give her another chance. What she did before was really infuriating, but in general, there was nothing harmful, just like I was surrounded by her today. In fact, before Qin Baiye came here, she had enough time to do anything harmful to me, but she didn''t. She only threatened me verbally, and..."


    Ye zhiqiao thought back for a moment and continued playing with the teacup, "I think what happened today is probably related to gu chengyan. Most likely, gu chengyan taught her to do this. Gu chengyan also talked to me about cooperation at noon. She probably went to Li Ruonan because I rejected her."


    Well, after listening to ye zhiqiao''s narration when he came back, gu mohan also thought that it was possible that gu chengyan had egged Li Ruonan on, but the two of them were just like each other. Neither of them was a good thing, so who took the initiative and who was passive?


    "Those who are close to the ink will turn red, and those who are close to the ink will turn black." While gu mohan was secretly criticizing gu chengyan and Li Ruonan, ye zhiqiao continued, "Li Ruonan is not too deep in the trap and is still saved. I think we can give her a hand in time."


    Give Li Ruonan a hand?


    Ye zhiqiao''s words made gu Mohan think again. He was generally a cold-hearted and warm-hearted person. Although he had been trained in the mall for a long time and his own protection was too strong, since he had little treasure, he was very willing to do charity, do good things, and accumulate blessings for his children. Li Ruonan was just a little girl in her early twenties. She was inexperienced in society and was prone to making mistakes. It was not impossible for him to help her a little.


    It''s just... Li Ruonan has a deep relationship with his mother gu, and there are other forces behind her. He and ye zhiqiao can only tell whether Li Ruonan is good or bad from their working relationship, but they are separated from each other. What if Li Ruonan deliberately pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger and deceives them?


    To put it another way, Li Ruonan did not lie to them, but Li Ruonan himself had a high opinion of himself, and it was uncertain whether he would accept them. Besides, she was now involved with gu chengyan, who was a bigger variable.


    Gu mohan pondered for a long time, and the food on the table was half cold. Ye zhiqiao saw that he sometimes raised his eyebrows and frowned. Knowing that he was still hesitating, she continued to persuade him, "I know what you are worried about, and I know that you think things will be more comprehensive and complicated than me. It is not possible that it is a woman. I believe in my feelings. I believe that Li Ruonan can go on the right path. And by then, I want to keep her for myself."


    "You want to put her by your side?" Gu mohan exclaimed and shook his head in disbelief, "I can''t trust you to help her once. You still want to stay by her side. Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"


    Seeing that gu Mohan was so excited that even the fable had been brought out, ye zhiqiao could not help but chuckle, then returned to her serious expression, and nodded solemnly and replied, "I have heard the story, but I will help Li Ruonan too. I want to take a gamble. She won''t be a cold-blooded animal who takes revenge."


    It was not the first time that gu mohan understood ye zhiqiao''s stubbornness. She did not waver at all after saying so much earlier. It seemed that she had considered this matter for a long time and had made a decision.


    Ever since the two of them had established a relationship, ye zhiqiao had never made a decision that she would not be able to do. She would discuss it with gu mohan, but the result must be according to her idea.


    In that case, gu mohan did not seem to need to "Struggle to the death." Whatever ye zhiqiao wanted to do, he supported her, even if he failed, he could still stand by her side to protect her.


    "Well, I agree to help her with you." Gu mohan finally let go, but he still had one condition: "But you must be careful. No one else is important. Your safety must be guaranteed."


    Ye zhiqiao knew that gu mohan would support her, so she immediately agreed with a smile, "Yes, I promise."


    When the business was over, gu mohan was almost full. While ye zhiqiao was washing the dishes, he gently carried little treasure back to his bedroom and then went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, ye zhiqiao was just finished.


    "Is the blanket covered?" Ye zhiqiao looked at xiao bao''s bedroom and asked in a low voice.


    Gu mohan nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay." Then she pulled the corner of ye zhiqiao''s clothes and lowered her eyes, "Well... Do you want to go to my room today... To rest? Little treasure is asleep. You don''t have to accompany him."


    Little treasure was indeed asleep now, but if he didn''t wake up at night and see ye zhiqiao by his side, he would have to look for her all over the world, which gu mohan wouldn''t know.


    But... Ye zhiqiao is his girlfriend after all. They haven''t been alone for a long time since ye zhiqiao went to work. This... Is not appropriate...

 Chapter 358 Nothing Happened

    Ye zhiqiao saw what he was thinking. She gave him a shy and coquettish look and cursed, "Shameless!"


    How shameless is it to compete with children for favor?


    But when gu mohan heard the flirtatious words of the lovers, his heart began to itch. He immediately hugged ye zhiqiao and threw her on the sofa instead of going back to the bedroom.


    "Hey! What are you doing?!" Ye zhiqiao was afraid of waking little treasure up. Her screams were so low that she had no momentum at all.


    However, she did not need to be imposing anymore, because after her words, gu mohan''s kiss had already landed on her face, eyelashes, and nose tip impatiently, and the last four lips were close together, intertwined with each other''s breathing.


    Someone''s breathing started to get out of control, and when they finally parted, both of them gasped for air, their faces flushed, and the air in the room became more beautiful.


    Gu mohan''s physique was good, and he soon recovered and wanted to continue. Ye zhi, who had misty eyes, pushed him away with her soft and weak arms and scolded him angrily, "I hate you! What if you''re late for work tomorrow?"


    "Uh-" gu mohan rubbed her shoulder and grinned, "If I''m late, I''ll be late. I''m the boss. No one dares to say anything about me."


    "Not serious!"


    Ye zhiqiao scolded him again, then tried hard to straighten up and stay away from his claws, and deliberately said with hatred, "You are fine, then what about me? I will be scolded to death!"


    At this time, ye zhiqiao''s cheeks were pink, her lips were bright and full, and her eyes were full of love. She was not angry, but seductive.


    Gu mohan could not wait to pounce on him again and give him a good massage, but what ye zhiqiao said just now reminded him that it was really time to stop. It''s already past one o'' clock, and if she doesn''t sleep, ye zhiqiao, who has been busy all day, won''t be able to hold on. If she is really late, her manager li, who has a dirty look on his face, doesn''t know how to punish her!


    Alas -


    At present, she had to keep herself clean. Gu mohan''s heart was bitter and his face was even more bitter.


    Ye zhi happened to see him walk into the bedroom with a sad face and lose his mind. She couldn''t help but laugh. Before he closed the door, she teased him on purpose and said, "Okay, you can throw people away when you''re done with them. Irresponsible, right? Hmph, I remember you, gu mohan!"


    Are you still a good boy after getting a bargain?!


    Gu mohan''s face darkened as he strode out of the room and charged at her fiercely.


    Ye zhiqiao''s provocation was gone, and she ran back to the room like a mouse, closing the door in front of gu mohan''s nose and locking it behind his back.


    The night passed under "Peace."


    The next morning, gu chengyan came to the company with two big dark circles under his eyes. When he saw that Li Ruonan had arrived, he ran straight to her.


    Last night, gu chengyan suffered heavy losses. Most of her former cronies were gone. The three people who were beaten up by Qin Baiye were the ones she hired to support her. Originally, there was no fight in the agreement, so under the threat of the other party, she paid a lot of medical expenses and loss fees.


    This was nothing. The most important thing was that she appeared in front of Qin Baiye. Qin Baiye thought that she was the mastermind behind the framing of ye zhiqiao, which made her very uneasy.


    The only thing she could count on now was Li Ruonan.


    She came to Li Ruonan and asked, pretending to be concerned, "Ruonan, are you... Okay? Yesterday..."


    "How dare you mention yesterday?!" As soon as gu chengyan opened his mouth, Li Ruonan cut her off mercilessly.


    If gu chengyan hadn''t made up his mind and patted his chest to guarantee that nothing would have gone wrong, how could she have lost so many people and even had to alarm her mother? And even so, gu mohan wouldn''t have helped her!


    Seeing that she was still angry, gu chengyan hurriedly smiled and said, "Ruonan, don''t do this. It was an accident. No one wanted it. I promise, I''ll make sure you''re satisfied next time."


    "Next time, do you want another time?!" Li Ruonan stood up and said angrily, "All right, you, do you think I forgot about yesterday when you ran away from me? If you run away when you''re in danger and you dare to cooperate with me, dream on!"


    Gu chengyan was shocked. He never expected that the main reason why Li Ruonan was angry was not that she was not doing well, but that she was not loyal.


    But whether it was gu chengyan or ye yiyu, when did she ever show her loyalty to others?


    Seeing Li Ruonan''s anger growing, gu chengyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Now she only had Li Ruonan to rely on. If Li Ruonan refused to accept her, would she turn back to look for ye zhiqiao?


    For the benefit of the future, she had to put down her body and continue to persuade, "Ruonan, don''t be angry, or you can scold me and hit me a few times? I promise, I will never say anything back. I really want to work with you, you..."


    "Stop it, I don''t want to hear it." Li Ruonan''s breath was unsteady and he glared at her angrily. Then he completely broke her fantasy and said, "I didn''t plan to cooperate with you. If you hadn''t given me your own ideas, I wouldn''t have looked at you at all. Now that I''ve given you a chance, you didn''t cherish it. No wonder I did. Remember, from now on, you stay away from me. Don''t come to me!!"


    Li Ruonan''s tone was resolute and unreserved, completely different from her usual obstinate willfulness. Gu chengyan knew that Li Ruonan had really made a decision.


    From entering the gu family to being nice to ye zhiqiao, she was rejected by ye zhiqiao and turned to Li Ruonan. Until now, all gu chengyan had done was to draw water from a bamboo basket.


    She could not help but regret that she should not give up on ye zhiqiao so easily. After all, ye zhiqiao was much softer than Li Ruonan. Just like before when she was going to be punished for ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao was clearly moved. Maybe if she worked hard for a while longer, she could completely move ye zhiqiao.


    Gu chengyan returned to his seat with a heavy heart, secretly considering whether he should make love to ye zhiqiao again and return to her side.


    At this moment, ye zhiqiao, in a gray plaid dress and with her hair high, walked into the office, seemingly unaffected by last night''s events. Compared with gu chengyan''s current situation, it was simply different.


    Gu chengyan''s heart stirred, and she instantly made up her mind to apologize and make a new gesture of goodwill, but just as she made the move to get up, she saw ye zhi coincidentally walk straight to Li Ruonan''s desk.


    Why did ye zhiqiao look for Li Ruonan?

 Chapter 359 A Little Affection

    When Li Ruonan looked up and saw ye zhiqiao, the look on his face was exactly the same as gu chengyan''s. It was filled with surprise, doubt and precaution.


    Ye zhiqiao had expected this reaction from her, so she pulled out a chair and sat down beside her, giving her time to adjust, and then calmly asked, "Did you tell gu mohan''s mother about those things yesterday?"


    Li Ruonan led people to make things difficult for ye zhiqiao, and then was taught a lesson by Qin Baiye. It was Li Ruonan who told his mother, but she did not know what ye zhiqiao meant when she asked her this. Was he here to ask for blame?


    Her resistance was too obvious, and ye zhiqiao gave her a kind smile to comfort her. Then she explained, "I didn''t mean anything else. I wanted to tell you that auntie called gu mohan after she found out about you and asked him to avenge you. Gu mohan''s answer was..."


    Ye zhi qiao paused, and Li Ruonan immediately couldn''t wait to ask, "What did he answer?"


    "He disagrees."


    The moment he heard the answer, the look in Li Ruonan''s eyes immediately went out, and his face was filled with disappointment.


    But ye zhiqiao continued, "Not only did he refuse, he had a fight with auntie. He doesn''t want to take care of you as his aunt tells him to. Do you know why?"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t have any extra expression when she spoke, as if she was doing an ordinary job report, but Li Ruonan felt that she was demonstrating, so he chuckled and said, "Why else? Because he doesn''t like me."


    "Then why doesn''t he like you?" Ye zhiqiao continued to ask, "As far as I know, that staff gathering was the first time you met. Although there were some misunderstandings, it was definitely not to make him hate you so much. What did you really make him unhappy about? Have you ever thought about it?"


    Why didn''t gu mohan like her? This... Li Ruonan really hadn''t thought about it.


    Since the dinner, her only thought was to find an opportunity to explain the misunderstanding to gu mohan. As for why their relationship had become more and more rigid, she did not know why.


    Ye zhiqiao told her the answer clearly, "Because you are always doing something he doesn''t like, and you are working against him. For example, he hates the endless entanglement of women, but you always try your best to get close to him. For example, he wants the company to be orderly, and all the staff to be able to distinguish between public and private affairs, but you always rely on your own relationship to bully, and for example... He wants to protect me, but you want to harm me..."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to hurt people. She always stopped talking and doing things at once, but Li Ruonan was too shallow. If she didn''t poke the pain, Li Ruonan would not be able to wake up.


    But being poked into the pain, it always takes time to ease. Seeing Li Ruonan frown and ponder, although there is some resentment in her expression, she is not angry. Ye zhiqiao knows that Li Ruonan has heard her words.


    "As long as you don''t go against gu Mohan, you will have a good life." Ye zhiqiao gave her final advice.


    Then, she took out a medicine box from her bag and put it on the table in front of Li Ruonan.


    Yesterday, when she saw Li Ruonan walking away, ye zhiqiao noticed that her left foot was limping. She must have twisted her foot when she was pulled by Qin Baiye, so ye zhiqiao got up early and took a detour to the pharmacy to buy this box of medicine.


    "This is spray. It''s small and can be taken with you. I used it before and it worked very well."


    Ye zhiqiao introduced the usage to her, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed by what she said before, so she added, "Gu mohan asked me to bring it for you. He just wanted to give you a warning but didn''t mean to hurt you. This is a compensation for you."


    Hearing that it was from gu mohan, Li Ruonan''s eyes fell on the square medicine box for the first time. He was obviously overjoyed, but he still stubbornly muttered, "I don''t want this kind of thing, and... Don''t meddle in anything. I''m fine..."


    At this moment, Li Ruonan''s awkward expression was exactly the same as little treasure''s when he was angry. Ye zhiqiao could not help but shake her head and chuckle. She said, "Well, it''s normal that you don''t like this thing, but it''s also a piece of gu mohan''s mind anyway. Just accept it reluctantly, okay?"


    Ye zhiqiao sounded like she was trying to coax a child, making Li Ruonan blush and stop talking with her head down.


    But Li Ruonan''s heart had gradually changed.


    In her previous understanding, ye zhiqiao should be a haughty, bad woman who pretended not to eat human fireworks to seduce men. She hated ye zhiqiao''s inherent cleanliness and the smell of maturity and nature. Ye zhiqiao was the kind of person she was most unwilling to get along with.


    But today, she and ye zhiqiao sat down calmly and talked for a few words. She found that ye zhiqiao did not seem as annoying as she thought. When ye zhiqiao mentioned gu mohan without concealing anything from her, she was even surprised that ye zhiqiao was not a small-bellied person.


    She had to admit that now, not only did she not hate ye zhiqiao, but she somehow developed some good feelings.


    But there''s only a little... A little!


    The relationship with Li Ruonan had finally eased, which was what ye zhiqiao liked the most, even when she was working.


    Today was her first day as minister, and she took out the departmental system that she had planned long ago, which she wanted to submit to the top management of the company, and carefully refined it again, preparing to announce it directly in the department during the morning break.


    Because she used to be a small employee, but also under the pressure of manager li and Li Ruonan, it was impossible for her to put forward her own opinions in the department. But now that she has the status of minister, she has no choice but to advise the department and seek better development.


    However, after she published the revised department system and announced that from today onwards, she would focus on managing the messy and crowded work situation and strictly demand department staff, manager li''s face did not look good.


    Of course, the system that ye zhiqiao proposed was more comprehensive than before, and the requirements were very reasonable, which was beneficial to the development of the department. However, manager li did not think so. He could understand that ye zhiqiao was in a new position, but she did not communicate with manager li before announcing this, which made manager li very angry.


    In the end, ye zhiqiao''s position was still under manager li. Her disregard for manager li naturally made manager li understand that she did not respect him, or that she wanted to steal his limelight, and one day she wanted to replace him.


    As a veteran of the workplace for many years, how could manager li let her take advantage of it?

 Chapter 360 The Difficult Mu Xuefeng

    After ye zhiqiao finished her last sentence, manager li took the lead and laughed twice, "Okay! Okay! What a fearsome young man. Are you satisfied with the new system that minister ye announced? Anyway, I agree with you very much. Some of these points point directly to the shortcomings of our department. I believe that with minister ye around, our sales department will definitely do better and better!"


    After a generous speech of praise, manager li called ye zhiqiao into the manager''s office alone and specially poured her a cup of tea. Then he sat down opposite her and said with a greasy smile, "Zhiqiao, your performance today is very good. It really surprises me!"


    The first time she was praised by manager li, ye zhiqiao didn''t know whether she should thank him or cry excitedly. She was stunned for a while before she hurriedly said modestly, "It''s all your usual teaching."


    In the workplace, there were some words that had to be said, even ye zhiqiao herself felt that her words were too disgusting.


    However, manager li had already remembered her grudge. How could he let it go just because of a flattery? He continued to follow his plan and said, "Well, since you are so good at your job, I want to give you another chance to practice so that you can grow up as soon as possible. Are you... Okay?"


    Experience?


    Ye zhiqiao savored his words carefully and felt that he was not at ease, so she smiled stiffly and asked, "What do you mean?"


    "Ah, this..."


    Manager li took out a contract from the drawer, put it on the table and pushed it in front of ye zhiqiao, "This is a contract with a company. The boss of the other party is a little difficult. He blocked several people I sent out, but he didn''t mention the specific requirements... Ah... The company values this case very much. I really have no choice but to ask you for help."


    While he was complaining, ye zhiqiao flipped through the contract and formed a general impression in her mind.


    In general, there was nothing wrong with this contract, and it was even more carefully worded than a normal contract, and she had heard of the twists and turns of not signing for a long time.


    It was said that the other company and the gu family had always been on equal footing. To put it bluntly, they were rivals. Although the two companies had cooperated several times before, they were all small and insignificant lists, but this time, it was a real big case, and after signing the contract, the gu family''s benefits were much greater than the other party''s, so it was understandable that the other side''s boss would make more difficulties.


    However, the specific situation should not be as easy as manager li said. According to ye zhiqiao, in order to talk about this cooperation, not only did the sales department send out a few capable men, even manager li himself, but it still did not work, so this contract became the most troublesome thing in the sales department. For this reason, manager li, who was over 40 years old, even had a few pimples.


    Now that manager li handed her this hot potato, the purpose was obvious.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know where she had offended manager li, but since her boss had arranged the task, she had no reason not to perform.


    So she stared at manager li''s greasy nose and nodded heavily.


    When she returned to her office, she contacted the secretary of the other president first. Knowing that he had the right time, she went to the company without stopping.


    The building of the mu corporation was different from the luxurious and modern decoration of the gu corporation. It was decorated with a sense of design. Whether it was the color or the arrangement of the items, it showed the cultivation of the mu corporation in design.


    To be honest, although she had not met the mysterious president mu yet, ye zhiqiao already had a little more favorable impression in her heart. The people of the gu family said that president mu was very difficult to deal with, but she felt that the person who could plan such a building must have something extraordinary.


    "President mu is waiting for you inside." The sweet-looking secretary made a "Please" gesture and then returned to the secretary''s office with a slight chin.


    Just now, the secretary had knocked on the door, and ye zhiqiao directly pushed the door open and walked in. In the cold color sofa, a man was looking at her with a faint smile.


    "It''s you?!"


    The moment she saw that face, ye zhiqiao was directly stunned on the spot, in addition to surprise or surprise.


    Mu Xuefeng stretched out his hand to the sofa beside him and said with a smile, "Sit down quickly, but you''ve been waiting for a long time."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at her big eyes and walked from the door to the sofa to sit down. Her eyes never left mu xuefeng.


    At that time, she met him on the street by chance. After chatting with him, she realized that this man was not ordinary. Although the man had said that he was involved in a wide range of industries, ye zhiqiao never thought that he was the president of the rival company that had been giving gu''s sales department a headache for nearly a month!


    That time, she had a competition with Li Ruonan and agreed that whoever sold more goods would win. If she hadn''t met Mu Xuefeng, she would have served Li Ruonan for a week. When mu xuefeng and gu signed the contract, she was not there. When she wanted to thank him again, Mu Xuefeng had already left, so she didn''t even know his name.


    Now that she had met him on such an occasion, she could not think of any other adjective other than fate.


    "I can see through your face." After being stared at by her for a long time, Mu Xuefeng couldn''t help but laugh and remind her, "Are you here to appreciate the beauty of your partner or to negotiate a contract? I don''t understand that."


    "!"


    When he said that, ye zhiqiao also realized that she didn''t even say hello from the moment she entered the door. She just stared at him for five minutes. If Mu Xuefeng was really a difficult person like the legend, she would have lost her patience at this moment.


    Thinking of this, she quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I''m sorry... Mr. Mu, I... I... I really am..."


    Nervous and excited, she repeated the word "I" three times, but didn''t even say a complete sentence.


    Mu Xuefeng laughed a few times and waved his hand, "I understand. When I heard from the secretary that you were the one who came to talk about cooperation, I felt like you."


    Mu Xuefeng''s words effectively alleviated ye zhiqiao''s emotions. She smiled apologetically and said, "You helped me last time. This time... I may have to ask you for more help."


    Mu Xuefeng had already read gu''s contract more than three times. If he wasn''t really tired of the glib and wordless people sent by gu, he would have signed it long ago, and the person who came here today was ye zhiqiao whom he liked, then signing it would be a natural thing.


    The two of them discussed the important matters in the contract. After both sides had no objection, they signed the contract directly. Manager li had a headache for a long time and was easily taken down by ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 361 I Hope You Join the Mu Family

    "Thank you so much, president mu. I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future." Ye zhiqiao stood up and extended her right hand.


    Mu Xuefeng also stood up with a faint smile and shook hands with her in a proper manner. He nodded and said, "Happy cooperation."


    After that, the two of them sat down again. Mu Xuefeng pointed to the coffee in front of ye zhiqiao and said to her, "The business is over. Let''s all relax. Do you like coffee? If you don''t like it, change the secretary to another drink."


    "Coffee is good." Ye zhiqiao nodded and took a sip from the cup.


    Mu Xuefeng raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, "Actually, I''m really curious about your experience. Although I know that you''re just a small employee of the gu family, from the way you talk and act and the temperament around you, I always feel that... Well, what should I say? I always thought you were different."


    Ye zhiqiao had spent more than ten years designing and running half the earth for a lost embroidery method. Her experience and temperament were polished by time and nature, which made her different.


    And between the differences, she still had the most authentic thing, so it was even more mysterious and rare.


    But after hearing Mu Xuefeng''s question, she only shook her head and chuckled, not giving an answer.


    Mu Xuefeng was not a person who liked to ask questions. Since the other party didn''t want to say it, he respected it. So he brought up another thing that he had been thinking about for a long time.


    "Is miss ye satisfied with her current working environment?"


    Noticing ye zhiqiao''s puzzled gaze, Mu Xuefeng explained, "Don''t get me wrong. I don''t mean to pry into trade secrets, but... I think being a small employee in the sales department has really buried miss ye''s talents. I like all the beautiful and valuable things. Leaving miss ye in the gu family, I think, is a bit of a waste."


    "If you want, I hope you can join the mu corporation and use your talents in its design department."


    Mu Xuefeng leaned forward unconsciously as he spoke, his eyes filled with anticipation as well as his usual aloofness.


    He really liked ye zhiqiao. From the first time he saw ye zhiqiao and talked to her, he knew that he had found another piece of valuable art.


    Ye zhiqiao felt his sincerity and believed that he would do what he said and give her the most space to use, but she entered the gu family with a wish. She would never consider giving up or changing jobs halfway before her wish was fulfilled.


    So she smiled and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can''t agree, and I can''t tell you the reason. I''m sorry."


    Her attitude was resolute, and Mu Xuefeng did not like to force others. Although she felt sorry, she could only smile.


    Mu Xuefeng sighed and said, "Well, you young people all have your own ideas, but remember, the door of the mu family is always open to you. As long as you come, I will welcome you anytime."


    Ye zhiqiao blinked and joked, "Why did you say that? You are very young!"


    Ye zhiqiao did not know Mu Xuefeng''s actual age, but he had been in business for many years and should not be too young. Even if he did not reach the age of no doubt, he would not be much different, but perhaps because of his good looks, or perhaps because of his good living conditions, he did look very young, and not inferior to gu mohan.


    "I don''t know how to express my excitement if you look up to me like this, but there are still many opportunities for us to work together in the future, so I will definitely ask you to continue teaching and correcting." Ye zhiqiao looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to leave, so she prepared to leave and pave the way for the cooperation later.


    Mu Xuefeng had seen a lot of these small talk skills, but because the other party was ye zhiqiao, he did not get bored at all. Instead, he agreed in a good mood, "Okay, I will pay more attention to the gu family and strive for long-term cooperation in the future."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded gratefully, then stood up and said, "Let''s talk about this today? You''re busy with your work, so I won''t bother you anymore."


    It was said that Mu Xuefeng should have agreed to come down and get up to see the guests off, but he stood up, buttoned his suit, took the lead and walked to the door to open the office door, then turned back to the stunned ye zhi qiao and said, "I came to see you off. The parking lot is not easy to find. There is a shortcut from here."


    If Mu Xuefeng had said this on the sofa, ye zhiqiao would have refused without thinking, but now that he had already walked to the door, ye zhiqiao''s refusal would certainly have refuted the other person''s face, so she had to thank him again, and then went out under the care of Mu Xuefeng gentleman.


    Mu Xuefeng''s gentlemanly manners were really perfect. Not only did he send ye zhiqiao to the parking lot, he also accompanied her to the parking lot until he saw her get into the car and drive away with his own eyes, then he finally waved his hand and turned to leave.


    On the main road, ye zhiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tight back relaxed, and her whole body was half-lying on the chair, her hands were only weakly wrapped around the steering wheel.


    She had to admit that although Mu Xuefeng''s care was indeed considerate and comfortable, living under the nose of a gentleman was not as tiring as living under the noses of a gentleman. It seemed that he had to maintain his image all the time. In comparison, gu mohan''s lack of proper conduct in private was quite cute.


    Thinking of gu mohan, ye zhiqiao unconsciously curved her mouth.


    Feeling relaxed, ye zhiqiao opened the window and hummed along in the slightly dry wind, but when she turned a corner, suddenly -


    Bang!!!"


    A car that didn''t know where it came from suddenly brushed past the body of the car ye zhiqiao was driving. If ye zhiqiao hadn''t reacted quickly and immediately turned the steering wheel to the left, the two cars would have collided face to face!


    But even so, ye zhiqiao fell uncontrollably to the left after being hit by a huge force. When her shoulder and head hit the car window, they made a fine crash sound. She even felt that the strong tempered glass was about to be smashed by her head.


    After everything had calmed down, her whole body was in chaos and her consciousness was still there, but she could not make a sound or move, so she could only wait for help.


    At this time, Mu Xuefeng, who had decided to go out to work, happened to pass by the car. Just now, he personally sent ye zhiqiao to the car, so he immediately recognized that the car parked on the side of the road was ye zhiqiao''s.


    The dent in the car and the clear brake marks on the ground immediately made him realize that something was wrong, so he quickly told the driver to stop and rush to ye zhiqiao''s car.

 Chapter 362 The Three Visitors

    Through the car window, he saw ye zhiqiao''s half-closed eyes and blood on her forehead. He understood that there was a car accident, but there was only one car at the scene. The car had obviously escaped.


    The situation was urgent, and he couldn''t care much. He immediately took ye zhiqiao out of the car, then drove to the hospital in his own car, and called the police on the road.


    In the hospital, ye zhiqiao received more than half an hour of treatment in the emergency room, and then was pushed to the ward to recuperate.


    Mu Xuefeng stayed by her side until she gradually woke up. Mu Xuefeng left the ward to call the doctor, but on the way back, he saw gu mohan who was anxious to hear the news, and then quietly slipped away.


    Mu and gu were competitors. Apart from their business dealings, there was really no need to meet in private, let alone in such an unexpected situation.


    So when gu mohan entered the ward, all he saw was ye zhiqiao with a bandage on her head and the doctor with the medical record.


    The doctor was telling ye zhiqiao about her condition. Seeing that gu mohan had arrived, he repeated the general situation, "After examination, the patient''s body was not seriously affected, but his head was found to have a slight concussion, but the symptoms were not serious. After the infusion, he could be discharged directly."


    With that, the doctor nodded at the two and left the ward.


    As soon as the doctor left, gu mohan immediately stuck to ye zhiqiao''s side and asked anxiously and painfully, "What happened? How did you get into a car accident? Just now, the assistant called to say that the hit-and-run driver had escaped. Do you know the driver? Was it an accident or was someone trying to harm you?"


    After a series of questions, before ye zhiqiao could answer them, he continued, "What did the doctor say just now? Let you out of the hospital, right? No, I can''t listen to him! A slight concussion is also an injury, and we have to recuperate until we fully recover. Anyway, the senior ward in the hospital is not nervous. Let''s stay longer."


    "Ouch -"


    Ye zhiqiao had a wound on her forehead and bruises on her body. It hurt when she moved a little, but she couldn''t help but suck in the air and laugh, "Why are you like a mother? With so much to say, I don''t know which one to answer."


    Gu mohan snorted and went to the table to pour a cup of warm water to see her take it. Then he said angrily, "You don''t have to answer any of them. I can send someone to investigate all the questions, but you... Don''t worry me. What are you doing on the road if you don''t work well in the daytime?"


    Where did ye zhiqiao want to go? It was obviously squeezed by manager li!


    Ye zhiqiao told gu mohan that manager li had asked her to talk about cooperation, and then suggested, "Otherwise, I should leave the hospital later. I have to send the signed contract to manager li, and I have to follow up on the work myself."


    Gu mohan frowned when ye zhiqiao finished talking about manager li''s arrangement. After hearing that she was going to leave the hospital, he said with a stern face, "You don''t have to worry about anything else, but you can''t leave the hospital. You just stay here... And... Don''t tell anyone about your condition. What happened today is not certain to be an accident, so let''s wait and see."


    Under gu mohan''s strong request, ye zhiqiao did not leave the hospital but moved to a high-class ward. Although she felt that it was too wasteful of resources, she still could not defeat gu mohan.


    Less than half an hour after ye zhiqiao changed her ward, news of her car accident and injury spread all over the gu family. Manager li rushed over to see her after hearing about it, but he happened to meet gu mohan who took care of ye zhiqiao.


    Manager li came here purely to care about the contract, but gu Mohan was present, and as ye zhiqiao''s boss, he couldn''t be too heartless, so he had to give some condolences first, and then brought up the contract.


    "Well, Zhiqiao was in trouble because of my poor management and poor work arrangements. How can I let her go out alone to talk about cooperation? At least one more person should be with her!" Manager li gave a sad look and then asked, "By the way, Zhiqiao, how''s the contract going? It doesn''t matter if you don''t succeed. I''ll send someone else next time. Don''t worry."


    He couldn''t wait to know the result. Ye zhiqiao muttered something in her heart, but nodded honestly and said, "Don''t worry, the manager. We''ve already talked about it."


    "Really?!"


    Manager li exclaimed and almost jumped out of his chair, but gu mohan''s stern gaze swept over him and he immediately calmed down.


    He suppressed the excitement in his heart and praised perfunctorily, "Zhiqiao''s ability to work is still very good, better than many old employees in the sales department."


    Gu mo snorted coldly and saw through manager li''s mind. He did not admire ye zhiqiao, but he was so happy because the list was signed and he was hopeful of promotion. Thus, gu mohan said calmly, "Manager li''s ability to work is also very good. The most outstanding thing is that in terms of personnel, people can not help but admire him."


    Back and forth.


    These four words were like four slaps, which hit manager li''s face so hard that he couldn''t even raise his head.


    However, gu mohan did not want to tear his face apart. It was just a mockery from the ming dynasty. He could still accept it. Anyway, compared with a promotion and a raise, what could it be to be insulted?


    He chuckled and stood up to leave, "Since Zhiqiao is in good spirits and has general gu here to look after him, I''ll take a step forward. There are still a lot of things to do in the company. I''ll come back after I finish."


    The subtext was that he never wanted to come back.


    Ye zhiqiao did not want to pay attention to him, and gu mohan was annoyed with him, so he did not treat him politely.


    At this time at the entrance of the hospital, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were about to welcome their second wave of guests.


    Gu chengyan hurried to the hospital with a bag of fruit and a few boxes of nutrition. The expression on his face could not be hidden... Happiness.


    Heh!


    Ye zhiqiao had just ruined her business yesterday and put her aside. Today, she was punished. Can she not be happy? Moreover, she didn''t want to be happy just listening to the rumors and had to come over personally to see ye zhiqiao''s miserable situation to be happy.


    A car accident? I wish I was dead!


    She hooked her lips all the way to the floor where ye zhiqiao''s ward was located. When she turned her head, she saw another acquaintance coming down from the elevator beside her and stopped.


    Li Ruonan was also stunned when he saw her, and there was a hint of embarrassment as well as surprise on his face.


    Just after lunch, he heard about ye zhiqiao''s car accident. Li Ruonan struggled for a long time before he made up his mind to come over and take a look.


    Unlike gu chengyan, she was... Concerned.

 Chapter 363 Manager Li Was Wronged

    Well, although she was reluctant to admit it, what ye zhiqiao said this morning really made her waver, so much so that after hearing that ye zhiqiao was hospitalized, she was restless and couldn''t help but want to come over.


    In the end, there was nothing she could do. In order to make herself look cheap, she purposely came over empty-handed without any gifts, but the childishness of this behavior, even she had some experience.


    She had also thought about what she would do if gu mohan was here. Should I say a few sarcastic words with a pinch of air, or should I just walk away with a feigned indifference? But she never expected to meet gu chengyan before that.


    The conversation between the two of them in the morning was a complete failure. Throughout the morning, she could feel gu chengyan''s hostile gaze falling behind her back, and in her heart, she looked down on gu chengyan very much.


    A group of doctors and nurses came out of the ward and walked around the two of them into the elevator. They looked back and forth curiously until the elevator door closed.


    The two people standing on the side were also constantly looking at each other, trying to figure out the purpose of each other from their expressions and movements.


    After a few seconds of silence, both of them turned around and looked straight ahead, continuing their original route.


    In the ward, gu mohan also followed manager li out the door, leaving only ye zhiqiao to close her eyes and recuperate. When she heard the sound, she looked towards the door and saw gu chengyan with a worried face and Li Ruonan with an expressionless face.


    "Zhiqiao, are you okay? Why was there a car accident? But it scared me!"


    Gu chengyan asked about ye zhiqiao''s condition and expressed his concern. Ye zhiqiao replied perfunctorily and then looked at Li Ruonan, who had not opened his mouth after entering the door.


    Li Ruonan didn''t see gu mohan when she entered. She didn''t know if she was more disappointed or glad, and she didn''t want to be with people like gu chengyan, so she just stood aside quietly. Seeing that ye zhiqiao noticed her, she rubbed the tips of her shoes against the ground and said softly, "You look fine. You don''t look like you were in a car accident."


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao choked, and her face suddenly became colorful. She thought to herself, "Li Ruonan... Should be concerned about her..."


    So she chuckled and said, "Not bad."


    The relationship between the three of them was complicated and chaotic, and there was really no common language when they got together. Following ye zhiqiao''s words, they fell into a long and awkward silence.


    As the protagonist, ye zhiqiao saw this situation and quickly opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere, "Well... Thank you for coming to see me. It''s still work time, right? Did you guys come over and ask for leave? The manager might be upset if he finds out."


    "...


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao said this purely to find a topic, but gu chengyan and Li Ruonan both sounded a little awkward, always feeling that she was ready to send off the guests.


    For a moment, both of them looked a little embarrassed, and then said one after another, "I asked for leave, but... I have to go back."


    "Me too. There''s still a lot of work in the company, so I''m leaving."


    After a hasty farewell, the two left the ward together. They had planned to part ways, but there was only one elevator in the corridor. Naturally, neither of them wanted to lag behind, so they took the elevator together.


    At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, gu mohan finally found manager li, who was on his way to the bathroom when he left.


    Manager li suddenly felt a wave of tumbling in his abdomen and finally rushed into the bathroom to settle it. Just a few steps later, he saw the grim-faced gu mohan and almost made his stomach hurt again.


    "President gu, why are you... Here?" He squeezed out a smile and asked.


    "Waiting for you." Gu mohan replied lightly, then tilted his head and stared at him. He did not speak, but his eyes grew darker and darker.


    Manager li was staring at his hair, unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and asked with a trembling voice, "Master gu... Master gu, what are you doing? Just tell me what you need. I''ll do whatever you want."


    Gu mohan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "You don''t have to listen to me, but you have to answer a question."


    Not to mention a question, even ten or a hundred, he answered it! It was so scary to be looked at like this by gu mohan!!


    Manager li nodded hurriedly.


    Gu mohan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, then put his arm on his shoulder and pulled him closer to him, whispering in his ear, "Why did you harm ye zhiqiao?" !!!


    "What?!" Startled, manager li took a few steps back, glared at him and shouted, "What did you say? I hurt ye zhiqiao? What did I do to her?!"


    His loud voice instantly attracted the attention of many passers-by. Gu mohan looked around and said coldly, "If I knew, you wouldn''t be able to stand here and talk to me now. You''d better admit it honestly. Don''t wait for me to use some extraordinary means. Trust me, you''ll regret what you''ve done by then."


    Manager li was extremely wronged. When ye zhi happened to have a car accident, he sat in the manager''s office and didn''t go anywhere. How could he hurt her?!


    "President gu, I just arranged for her to talk about a contract. Every day, every department has staff to go out to see clients. Is it their boss''s fault if something happens to them?!" Even the bullying manager li lost his temper when he was wronged.


    However, gu Mohan had a deep suspicion of him and could not be cleared with a few words.


    "From the first day ye zhi happened to enter the sales department, you have been in a lot of trouble, and now she has the position of minister that you wanted to give to Li Ruonan. It''s hard to guarantee that you won''t rush to retaliate against her."


    "I didn''t! I didn''t!" Manager li''s face turned pale with anger and he panted heavily.


    How could gu mohan pay any attention to his words and continue to threaten in a cold tone, "Are you really not going to admit it? Then the rest of the day will not be easy."


    Gu mohan was usually very strong when dealing with official business, almost because he said that no one else was allowed to talk about the west, and he was ruthless in punishing people, regardless of whether they were close friends or staff who looked down on them, they were all severely punished. The people below were always angry and afraid of him, but they did not dare to make a sound.


    At this moment, manager li was so angry that he couldn''t care less about his status. He jumped and scolded, "Gu mohan! What else can you do besides deal with us? How can a person not be selfish? But you treat me like this because of my little selfishness, it''s really too much! You are simply a hegemon!!"

 Chapter 364 Mutual Suspicion

    The lower level should have obeyed the orders of the higher level. What about hegemony? What''s more, gu mohan is not talking to manager li about the next phase of the sales project, but is questioning him about the reason why he designed to frame ye zhiqiao!


    Manager li glared at gu mohan. Gu mohan laughed at his righteous look and snorted, "Li, you know what''s going on. You did something bad by underhanded means. It''s my girlfriend who got hurt. Not to mention hegemony, as long as I can catch the murderer, I can do anything!"


    "What do you like and what do you use? What does it have to do with me? Gu mohan, can you stop bullying people all day long based on your status? I am ten years older than you, and I have eaten more than ten years of white rice. You should leave me the most basic dignity!" Manager li said forcefully.


    Gu mohan looked sideways at him and said word for word, "Dignity is not given to you. It''s earned for you. You don''t deserve it."


    ...


    Behind the marble pillars a few meters away, gu chengyan and Li Ruonan listened to their conversation and looked at each other for a long time, but the hidden meaning in their eyes was different.


    Looking at gu chengyan and pondering gu mohan''s question to manager li, Li Ruonan''s suspicion deepened.


    Yesterday, gu chengyan volunteered to cooperate with her on ye zhiqiao, but it ended in failure. Today, ye zhiqiao was once again surprised. Gu chengyan even came to visit personally. She could not see any real concern from gu chengyan''s expression and words. Could gu chengyan simply want to see his "Results" ?


    Li Ruonan couldn''t hide her emotions, so she couldn''t help but want to prove it, so she asked straightforwardly, "Ye zhiqiao''s car accident... You didn''t do it, did you?"


    "...


    Gu chengyan was stunned, then stared up and down at her for a long time. When he saw that she was really asking him, he frowned and said darkly, "What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with you?! Gu mohan was asking manager li about you. Didn''t you hear him? Why is it still on me?!"


    Li Ruonan looked at her as if she didn''t have a good heart, so he snorted and said, "Manager li didn''t admit it." And from what I know of him, he doesn''t have the guts to do such a thing. You, on the other hand, have a lot of sneaky eyes. Maybe you got angry because your plan failed last night?"


    "You''re the one who''s angry with shame!!"


    Gu chengyan had a tricky nature. She was always making things difficult for others. When did anyone else push her down? Li Ruonan''s words instantly ignited her anger, and she immediately retorted angrily, "I want to deal with ye zhiqiao, don''t you want to? Fifty steps and a hundred smiles, are you too kind?"


    Against ye zhiqiao? Li Ruonan did think about it, but she never did it behind her back, and since ye zhiqiao finished talking to her this morning, her thoughts had disappeared completely.


    So she said solemnly, "I''ve been sitting in my office all morning. Of course, you''ve been there too, but you''ve been out a few times. It''s not long, but a phone call is enough."


    "What do you mean?" Gu chengyan was puzzled.


    Li Ruonan chuckled and continued, "That means you have enough time to send someone to harm ye zhiqiao! Yesterday, when you said you could hold gu mohan back, didn''t you just ask for help? Although I''m very confused about how the person who helped you could be so capable, it just proves that the person is capable enough to cause a car accident and then escape."


    Li Ruonan''s lips quickly closed, and his words formed a "Truth" of the matter, which was intertwined and organized, seemingly irrefutable.


    Gu chengyan went to the bathroom several times, which was evidenced by the surveillance in the hallway, but it was impossible to prove whether she had called or not. But if she could not say anything now, Li Ruonan was sure that she was guilty and speechless, so she simply turned the tables on her and said, "You said I sent someone to harm ye zhiqiao, then can I say that you found someone to harm her, and then you want to frame me?"


    Gu chengyan shook his head and smiled, "Isn''t this the internet age? Just contact each other and send a message. You don''t have to run out and make a phone call, so you can''t prove anything by staying in the office all morning!"


    "I... I... You..."


    Suddenly, the positions of "Police" and "Criminals" changed drastically. Li Ruonan changed from a torturer to a tortured one, and immediately became tongue-tied.


    She did not expect gu chengyan to be so difficult to deal with, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "I... Why should I frame you? I have no reason to do this!"


    "Of course you do."


    Gu chengyan pouted at gu mohan and manager li who were leaving side by side, then looked at her with raised eyes and said, "Gu mohan has started to investigate this matter. First, manager li is suspected, then you will definitely be suspected as ye zhiqiao''s number one enemy. You are afraid of being discovered by him, so you want to pin the blame on me in advance."


    "I beg, I beg, I protect myself." She whispered in her ear, word by word.


    "No way!" Li Ruonan waved her off and explained angrily, "I didn''t do it. I didn''t hurt her. Don''t spit it out!"


    Gu chengyan curled his lips and gave her a white eye. He thought to himself, "If you, li ruonan, can make up stories, then I won''t?" You don''t know how to behave if you don''t feel wronged! Besides, I can''t guarantee that I''ve found out who the murderer is.


    "Miss li, are you angry now? Do you want me to report the situation to president gu and let him investigate you?"


    At this moment, gu chengyan''s eyes were filled with pride and provocation, contempt and disdain, and the most unacceptable, naked suspicion of Li Ruonan!


    Li Ruonan couldn''t stand this oppressive environment, so he endured his anger and refused to argue with her. He said, "Tell me if you like. I''m not afraid of the shadow slanting. Even if I''m investigated, I don''t care!"


    Before she could finish her sentence, she walked towards the hospital door with a flushed face.


    Gu chengyan was intrigued by her. How could he just let her go?


    And things between the two of them are not over yet. Whether they cooperate or not, she had already done her work yesterday, and Li Ruonan can''t just throw her away!


    So gu chengyan quickly chased after him.


    As they walked out of the hall one after another, a white car just drove away from the entrance of the hospital, where gu mohan and manager li were sitting.

 Chapter 365 Useless Trash

    "Gu mohan, you can''t lock me up like this. It''s against the law, do you know?!"


    Manager li slammed the sturdy wooden door of the office with the same actions and words. He had repeated them many times since gu Mohan brought him to the abandoned conference room.


    Finally, after he was over forty, he gradually lost his strength and could not bear such a high intensity of exercise. He had to stop for a while and sit back in the leather chair to rest.


    Glancing at the clock, it was already two in the afternoon.


    Gu mohan took him out of the hospital at 12: 30. No matter how he explained and proved that he didn''t hurt ye zhiqiao, gu mohan didn''t believe him at all. After the last interrogation, he locked him up in this place.


    Gu''s most inconspicuous corner, the smallest meeting room.


    There was also a bodyguard guarding the door.


    Manager li slumped in his chair, thinking about the solution as he calmed down his breathing. Although he had just shouted that gu mohan was breaking the law, there were no communication tools in the office, and even if there were communication tools, he would never call the police.


    What a joke. A department manager who warned his immediate superior about the power of the top three gu group in the city. Isn''t that a joke?


    But it''s okay not to call the police. He has to find a way out. According to gu Mohan''s current attitude, there must be no breakthrough. The rest... Only...


    "Ah! That bodyguard! Come in and let me tell you something!"


    Manager li made up his mind, then came to the back of the door and called for the bodyguards to come in.


    Gu mohan''s bodyguards were all of the best quality, so how could they just casually listen to other people''s orders, so manager li once again shouted, but it still ended in failure.


    In the end, there was nothing else to do. Manager li had to be strict and said directly to the door, "I can tell you that your mother, Mrs. Gu, assigned me an important task this morning. I have to give her an answer at noon. But now it''s past the time. If you don''t know what to do, let me make a phone call. When the time comes, Mrs. Gu will blame me. You wait to be punished!"


    "...


    "Still not listening? Okay, I saw your face just now. I recognize you. When Mrs. Gu can''t find anyone to be angry with, I''ll see how you get out of the gu family!"


    "... Well... You can only make phone calls, no unnecessary movements" ...


    Manager li''s repeated bombings finally worked. The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in, handing manager li''s phone to him.


    "You''re smart!" Manager li took the phone in a bad mood and immediately called mother gu.


    After the phone rang a few times, manager li put his hand on the microphone and said angrily to the bodyguard who stared at him without blinking, "Aren''t you going out yet? Can you listen to Mrs. Gu''s phone?!"


    The bodyguard froze and hesitated again.


    Gu mohan''s order was never to let manager li leave the conference room, nor to communicate with the outside world, but now the person to talk to manager li was mother gu, a higher level than gu Mohan. The two evils were relatively minor. The bodyguard clenched his fists and went to guard the door.


    After the bodyguard left, manager li immediately put on a fawning face. Of course, he had lied to the bodyguard about what he had just said, but in front of mother gu, he had always been such a villain.


    "Mrs. Gu, I''m really sorry to disturb you during the lunch break, but I really can''t help it. You must save me!" Manager li''s voice was trembling as he spoke, so if he worked harder, he would probably burst into tears.


    Mother gu was woken up during her nap. She was somewhat upset and said calmly, "Just tell me what''s going on."


    "Oh, yes, yes."


    Manager li promised repeatedly, telling him about gu mohan''s suspicions that he had planned to hurt ye zhiqiao and locked him up, then pleading pitifully, "Mrs. Gu, isn''t it not very proper for you to see president gu doing this, but I can''t really bear his grudge, either, so look... Can you discuss it with president gu and let me go first?"


    Not holding grudges?


    Heh - that''s a nice thing to say, because you know it like a mirror in your heart. Even if you hold grudges, you can''t beat gu mohan, can you?


    Mother gu curled her lips and sighed, "Manager li, you begged me to help you, but you found the wrong person. Do you remember why I used it? That''s because you have the ability to do things for me. But now..."


    She chuckled a few times and shook her head, "I will never look at incompetent people, nor will I save a useless waste. If you want to go out, it all depends on your own ability."


    After that, mother gu hung up the phone mercilessly.


    "Dudu, dudu -"


    Manager li listened to the busy tone coming from his cell phone and endured before he fell to the ground.


    He gripped the phone tightly with one hand, and his eyes unconsciously climbed up with many red bloodstains. Coupled with his face flushed with anger, he looked hateful.


    "Old woman, I''ve done so much for you, but in the end, it''s only your turn not to save useless waste. Okay, okay! Don''t you think I''m useless? Then I''ll do something big for you!"


    Manager li squeezed these words out through clenched teeth, then took a vigilant look at the door, did not see the bodyguard disgusted figure, and then secretly dialed another phone out.


    This time, it was a call to a close friend of his.


    "Xiao zhang, don''t ask anything. Come to the meeting room on the fifth floor of the company that you haven''t used for a long time. There is a bodyguard at the door. No matter what you do, just send him away."


    Xiao zhang, his assistant, asked doubtfully, "That conference room? Are you going in?"


    Go in? He''s going out!!


    "Didn''t I tell you not to ask?!" Manager li scolded, but the volume was not controlled properly. The bodyguard outside the door seemed to notice something. He quickly lowered his voice and said quickly, "That''s it. Come here quickly!"


    Then, no matter what the other party said, he quickly hung up the phone and stuffed it back into his pocket as soon as the bodyguard came in.


    "Okay, stop looking." Seeing the bodyguard looking around for the phone, manager li deliberately put on a confident look and said in a deep voice, "The phone is here with me. You can continue to look at it if you want, but there is no need to lock the door. Later Mrs. Gu will come over personally. If you see me locked up, heh..."


    He sneered and did not continue.


    Having been in a high position for many years and putting on airs to scare the people below, manager li was very experienced. With a few words and a few eyes, the bodyguard''s momentum immediately weakened. As he had said, the door was unlocked and even opened a crack in the door.

 Chapter 366 Abandoned Child

    Not long after, manager li''s assistant arrived.


    Assistant xiao zhang was also clever. Although he received manager li''s order without thinking, he carried it out without hesitation.


    As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw the man in front of the conference room, and then he immediately acted as if he was in a hurry. He rushed to the man and complained indiscriminately, "Why are you still here? Don''t you know the boss is looking for you? I lost my temper downstairs!"


    "Ah?"


    The bodyguard was confused. His eyes widened for a few seconds before he pointed at his face and said, "What about me?"


    "Nonsense! Who isn''t you? Hurry up and get there!"


    "I... But who''s the boss? President gu?" The bodyguard turned to look at the conference room and asked, "But didn''t he ask me to look at the people inside?"


    Xiao zhang originally didn''t know anything, but after he asked, he understood most of it. His eyes quickly turned and he said, "President gu asked me to help you here. Go over quickly, or you might lose your job.!"


    When the bodyguard saw that xiao zhang was speaking so quickly, it didn''t seem like he was lying. Besides, manager li also said that mother gu was coming. It wouldn''t be good to see him standing at the door then. It would be better to let this boy who came out of nowhere block his knife for him.


    At this thought, the bodyguard nodded hurriedly and rushed into the elevator.


    After the elevator door was completely closed, xiao zhang looked around and opened the conference room door.


    Manager li had already heard the conversation between the two of them inside. At this moment, xiao zhang came to open the door. Apparently, the silly bodyguard had left, so he patted xiao zhang on the shoulder and said with relief, "You did a good job. When I come back, I will reward you well."


    With that said, manager li left his assistant with a confused face and walked out of the door quickly.


    Afraid of being discovered by gu mohan''s people, he didn''t dare to take the elevator out of the hall. Instead, he took the staircase out through the back door and sat in the office all year round. The skinny and tender manager li was really confused, but in order to fight for that breath, he had to hold on no matter what.


    Mother gu, the hegemonic gu mohan, must do something to give them a good look!


    When he finally got out of the gu building, he stopped a taxi and went straight to the hospital. He hesitated for a moment at the door of the ward, which he had visited once in the morning, but that hesitation was immediately swallowed up by the raging anger. He finally opened the door and walked in.


    It was very quiet in the ward, and ye zhiqiao seemed to have fallen asleep with her eyes closed. A certain instrument was making a regular beep-beep, constantly reporting that ye zhiqiao''s physical condition was stable.


    If manager li could calm down a little, or have a higher level of memory and insight, then he might recall that ye zhiqiao didn''t have this device by her side in the morning, and she didn''t have a light blue respirator on her nose and mouth.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t find out.


    He was glad that ye zhiqiao''s ward was unguarded, and he was pleased that he was about to change his mother''s opinion. Then, he slowly extended his right hand, which was trembling with excitement, and yanked off the oxygen tube that connected the respirator to the respirator!


    When he sneaked out of the ward, there was a clear alarm. He knew that it meant that ye zhiqiao''s vital signs were extremely unstable and even in critical condition.


    Five minutes later, a man walked out of the ward next door and returned to ye zhiqiao''s room with a smile.


    However, ye zhiqiao, who was still sleeping a moment ago, had a clear look in her eyes.


    "Okay?" Ye zhiqiao sat up and turned her stiff neck, pretending to be asleep, and asked with blinking eyes.


    Gu mohan nodded as he walked over to give her a massage and said, "He couldn''t hide the smile on his face when he left. He must have thought you were done. He got it himself."


    "It makes sense to arrest him now. When are you going to do it?" Ye zhiqiao continued to ask.


    Previously, manager li refused to admit that he had harmed ye zhiqiao. Even if gu mohan locked him up and forced him to ask, it would not make sense. At that time, the somewhat stunned bodyguard reported to gu mohan that he wanted to call, and gu mohan came to push the boat forward.


    Manager li is really a fool. Gu mohan sighed in his heart, then said, "I contacted him immediately after he left. From now on, my people will hold him down in a big way. Anyway, he has no confidence even in sophistry."


    The two people in the ward smiled reassuringly, while manager li, who was on his way to the gu mansion, did not know what was waiting for him.


    The gu family mansion was as tall and magnificent as it used to be. Manager li stood in front of the door, imagining how shocked and ashamed mother gu would look when she heard what he had done, and how she would continue to use him. In this beautiful expectation, he rang the doorbell.


    Not long after, a servant came out of the villa, walked through the long stone road to the gate, looked at him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"


    Manager li quickly replied, "Mrs. Gu, I''m looking for Mrs. Gu!"


    "Madam is not at home."


    "Ah?!" Manager li was stunned and said in surprise, "How could it be? I just called her a few minutes ago. Where did she go?"


    The young servant did not know manager li, and since he was locked up by gu mohan, he had been tormented until now. His suit was already out of shape, and he did not have the temperament of manager gu at all, so the servant replied perfunctorily, "Something''s going out. If you want to leave a message, I can pass it on to you when madam comes back."


    Message? He pulled out ye zhiqiao''s oxygen tube?!


    "No, no, no!" Manager li waved his hand impatiently, "I won''t leave a message. You can let me in or let Mrs. Gu come out to see me."


    "Madam is really not here..." The servant continued to insist.


    "Don''t scare me. I''ve heard so many excuses to avoid seeing each other. You should tell her earlier. Don''t do this to me. She wants to kill a donkey. It''s not that easy!"


    The excitement along the way was dampened by the cold water, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again. Manager li also ignored his image and looked like a scoundrel with a straight face and an angry look.


    The servant had never seen this before and was so frightened that he slipped back into the villa. No matter how hard he rang the doorbell, no one came out.


    "Okay, okay! A dead rabbit cooks a dead dog, a bird hides a bow, and you really want to throw me away!!"


    Manager li thought that his mother had abandoned him in spite of her previous friendship. He immediately kicked the iron gate with red eyes and kept shouting and scolding.


    Only when he heard footsteps coming closer and closer behind him did he turn around panting.

 Chapter 367 Ye Zhiqiao Was Promoted

    "Gu mohan?"


    Behind him, gu mohan and four or five black-robed bodyguards, who stood with their hands behind their backs, had been standing there for a long time and enjoying his performance for a long time.


    Manager li was so embarrassed and angry that he lost all sense of reason for a moment. He pointed at gu mohan and shouted, "What are you looking at?! Gu mohan, what''s so great about you? What''s so great about your gu family? Stop looking down on people! I won''t serve you anymore!!"


    Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and did not answer.


    "Why aren''t you talking? Is it hard for you? Hahahaha..." Manager li laughed a few times and shook his head, "How''s your new lover doing? Let me tell you, I was the one who went to the hospital to pull out her oxygen tube, okay? What can you do to me?"


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly, then beckoned the bodyguards to drag manager li into the car.


    He brought manager li directly back to the company. After a long time, manager li had changed from the initial frenzy of provocation to a dull calm. When he walked into the sales office, he was completely quiet, even lowering his head and not raising it.


    Ye zhiqiao returned to the company as soon as gu mohan brought someone to catch manager li. She was surprised to see him in such a state and looked at gu mohan with confusion.


    Gu mohan gave her a "Calm down" look, then called off the work in the hands of the crowd and drew everyone''s attention to himself. He raised his voice and said, "Something happened today. It''s about your former department manager and colleague ye zhiqiao. As for why I said'' once'', you will know the reason immediately."


    As soon as he said this, a gasp of cold air came out of the office. With gu mohan''s attitude and manager li''s condition, everyone could tell that something big was going to happen.


    However, gu mohan was always dignified in front of his subordinates, so even if everyone was surprised, they did not dare to be too obvious.


    Gu mohan gave everyone time to react and then continued, "Ye zhiqiao has been in the sales department for quite some time. I believe you all know a little about her, especially how manager li treats her. You must know better than I do. Daily criticism, biases in work, deductions in treatment, and punishments. As far as I know, he gave ye zhiqiao two times..."


    He glanced at the lifeless manager li and swept past the staff who were holding their breath. Feeling that the atmosphere was a little stiff, he chuckled and said, "Don''t worry. What I''m going to announce next is only related to manager li and ye zhiqiao. You are just witnesses. Don''t be afraid to affect yourself."


    In fact, it was better if he didn''t smile. His usually cold face suddenly smiled, which was even scarier than when he was serious.


    "Manager li is making things difficult for ye zhiqiao. It is only a little friction from his subordinates, so it shouldn''t reach my ears. But this afternoon, just an hour ago, manager li did something even more outrageous. He actually ran to the hospital and tried to pull out ye zhiqiao''s oxygen tube to murder her!" !!!


    The word "Murder" was a big deal for the clerks who had been sitting in the office building all these years. Even though ye zhi happened to be standing here intact, the clerks still felt extremely shocked.


    Gu mohan was very satisfied with their reaction. He paused and continued, "You should have heard about ye zhiqiao''s car accident. So far, the suspect I''ve targeted is also manager li..."


    As he spoke, he gave manager li a cold look and said in a deep voice, "Although there is no evidence, I believe it is only a matter of time. And whether or not we can finally bring him to court, this scum, scum, we gu family will never stay!"


    "I have decided to dismiss him!"


    Compared to the previous bombshell, the dismissal of manager li did not surprise the staff, but a daring male employee asked, "President gu, we have no problem with who you want to remove, but manager li is the department manager, and our entire sales department has to be managed by him. Suddenly he left, who will be responsible for this job?"


    "That''s right. Our work is arranged by manager li. What should we do if something happens to him after he leaves?"


    "We have no problem with the replacement, but at least we have to choose the successor first."


    As one person started, several more employees followed suit.


    When the last girl finished speaking, gu mohan finally nodded and said, "I have already chosen the successor."


    Without waiting for the next question, gu mohan then took out a contract and showed it to the crowd, "This contract, compared to what everyone has heard, the other side of the cooperation is gu''s rival company, mu shi. Because of the strong competition between the two companies, the president of mu shi is in a difficult position on the contract. The four employees in the sales department, including manager li, have all failed to negotiate with the other side. Today, the contract was negotiated by one person."


    At this point, he purposely stopped to sell the matter until everyone was excitedly guessing the identity of such a powerful person, and then he conveniently announced: "The person who facilitated the contract is the person I chose to take the position of manager..."


    He turned his head, looked at the man with a faint smile, and slowly said her name: "Ye, zhi, qiao."


    Ye zhiqiao? Ye zhiqiao?!!!


    The appearance of this name was undoubtedly the most explosive news of the whole day. The staff forgot to react and just stared blankly at ye zhiqiao, gu mohan and manager li, trying to see a hint on their faces.


    But after observing for a long time, there was no gain.


    There was something strange in everyone''s heart, but because of gu mohan, no one dared to be the first bird to ask questions. At this time, because ye zhiqiao refused, gu chengyan finally found the opportunity and immediately asked in place of everyone, "Why should she be? A newcomer who has just entered the workplace has been criticized many times at work, but he has just signed a contract and directly promoted to a department manager. Isn''t that against the company''s system?"


    As soon as he said this, his colleagues, who had just dared not speak, immediately joined in, and their words became more and more intense.


    "Yes, manager li has many years of experience, but what does ye zhiqiao know?"

 Chapter 368 Two Ministers

    "Chengyan is right. There are many people in the department who are capable of doing their jobs. They have worked for a long time and have done outstanding work. She... Can''t afford that position, can she?"


    "We all know that the other president is a little difficult, but he is getting closer and closer to the start date of the project. If he doesn''t want to lose his own interests, he has to sign the contract quickly. So this is not ye zhiqiao''s ability at all, it''s just letting her take advantage of the opportunity."


    "Ye zhiqiao, a newcomer, promoted to manager without making any big achievements. She simply can''t convince the public!"


    ...


    Questions and objections from the people below rose and fell. As a senior, gu mohan was not suitable to speak openly for ye zhiqiao, but if he kept silent, everyone would have the upper hand, and ye zhiqiao''s hopes of becoming a department manager would be slim.


    Moreover, if gu mohan did not continue to fight for ye zhiqiao, it would also mean that the remarks made by his ceo had lost their strength and would become a hidden danger for the future management of the company.


    Under these circumstances, what is most needed is a person with a certain position and influence in front of the staff to help gu mohan refute the following people. Usually, this role is played by manager li, but it is definitely impossible now. Ye zhiqiao was the target of the siege, and it was impossible. The assistant who helped Mohan out also had an emergency business trip...


    While gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were secretly worried and were thinking of a plan in their hearts, Li Ruonan, who had been standing quietly by the side and looking at all of this coldly, suddenly opened his mouth.


    "Be quiet!"


    She first raised her voice to stop the crowd from making a fuss, then gave gu chengyan a smug look and sneered, "You don''t understand anything, do you? All of ye zhiqiao''s previous disciplinary criticisms were deliberately made difficult by manager li, as well as the mu''s contract... I remember that those seniors who had been in the position longer than ye zhiqiao and were more capable of working also went to talk about it. Even the most recent one was two days ago, but wasn''t it mercilessly blocked by others?"


    "What ye zhi qiao took down now is to say that she had drilled a hole. Why didn''t she see one of you can get in such a good hole?!"


    Li Ruonan was usually rude, but now she was reasonable, and her momentum was naturally stronger, and most of her colleagues were afraid of her. Just now, she stood up against ye zhiqiao as a manager for a large part because she did not like ye zhiqiao.


    But women are fickle, who didn''t expect that she would start to help ye zhiqiao in a day?!


    All the colleagues who had been able to speak up were confused by Li Ruonan''s words and did not dare to open their mouths again for fear that they would offend others if they said something wrong.


    But before Li Ruonan could get what he wanted, he continued to raise his voice, "You are the ones who said that manager li left the department unattended and that something was going to happen easily. President gu has arranged a good manager for you. You are both disgusted with the east and the west. Do you think president gu is as idle as you and has so much time to listen to your complaints?!"


    She glanced at ye zhiqiao in the corner of the eye, cleared her throat and said, "Anyway, I have no objection to ye zhiqiao being the manager. If you are not convinced, please speak out the person in your heart, and if you don''t, just obey the arrangement honestly!!"


    At this point, Li Ruonan made a clear statement, and the people below were not stupid. Naturally, they followed suit and started to praise ye zhiqiao one after another, and raised both hands in favor of ye zhiqiao as the manager.


    Although gu chengyan and a few of the older staff members were not convinced and continued to rebut with their necks stuck up, their tiny voices were soon drowned out by a bigger crowd of supporters.


    At this point, ye zhiqiao''s position as the sales manager was finalized, and with the support of Li Ruonan and her followers behind her, her position was more secure than expected.


    The problem in the main direction was solved, and gu mohan left with his former manager at the right time to hand over the internal affairs of the sales department to ye zhiqiao.


    Taking advantage of the afternoon tea time, ye zhiqiao paid for her own money and sent someone to the coffee shop downstairs to buy a lot of drinks and desserts for her colleagues to eat, and took the opportunity to announce the appointment of Li Ruonan and gu chengyan as minister.


    Li Ruonan naturally accepted, but gu chengyan laughed and excused himself from the crowd by going to the bathroom.


    "What should we do? When ye zhiqiao became the manager and chose me and Li Ruonan as the minister, I always felt that there was something strange about it. And when gu mohan announced that he wanted her to be the manager, I took the lead in opposing it. She''s a very shady person, and she definitely won''t give me any good fruit to eat!"


    Gu chengyan was in the corner of the stairwell, talking to bai zixuan in a hushed voice.


    Compared to her panic, bai zixuan was indifferent, "What are you afraid of? She doesn''t know where you came from. What can she do to you? Besides, maybe she wanted to win you over, so she promoted you."


    "Impossible!" Without thinking, gu chengyan retorted, "She didn''t even agree to my request to cooperate with her. How could she possibly win me over?"


    Bai zixuan taught her in an experienced tone, "This is a time and a time. Now that she is in a high position, her thoughts will naturally change. What the senior management needs most is people''s hearts. It is normal to want to win over your opponent. If it succeeds, it can also prove her personality charm. Why not?"


    Gu chengyan frowned and his face was solemn. Bai zixuan said that she had thought about these possibilities, but since the last time she saw ye zhiqiao deal with Li Ruonan, she found that she could not recognize ye zhiqiao. The original contempt and hatred were gradually mixed with some fear.


    So she shook her head and discussed with bai zixuan, "I still don''t feel well, or can I leave first? If you leave the gu family and find a job in a company related to the gu family, you can also observe ye zhiqiao''s every move..."


    "No! Don''t even think about leaving!" Without waiting for her to finish, bai zixuan fiercely refused.


    "Do you know how hard it was to get you into the gu family in the most subtle way, how much money and connections it cost me? Now that you''re scared, just leave. What about the things I gave?! Have you forgotten the oath you made when you were''reborn''? Breaking your vows so quickly, you''re not afraid of retribution and going back to your old life?!"


    "Once upon a time," gu chengyan was the one who was most afraid to recall. Occasionally, in her dreams, she would wake up with tears all over her face.


    Bai zixuan''s words touched her soft spot, and her anxious retreat seemed to gradually calm down.

 Chapter 369 Install Li Qian

    Bai zixuan took advantage of the situation and quickly advised, "Well, don''t be afraid. Don''t you still have me? Although I can''t be with you all the time, don''t you have a close friend? It''s... That li''s woman you asked me to get out of there last time. You can ask her to help you."


    "Inside" means prison.


    "Li Qian?" Gu chengyan said in a daze, "Can you let her come over? The sales department doesn''t seem to have any hiring plans recently."


    "There''s no need for that. You''re already a minister. Isn''t it okay to find something to suggest, encourage ye zhiqiao to recruit again, or pay for an assistant? It''s a good opportunity to be a minister this time. You have to take advantage of it."


    Bai zixuan was about to start preaching again. Gu chengyan was not in the mood to listen to him, so he agreed, "Well, I''ll find a way to get Li Qian in tomorrow."


    Then, he hung up the phone.


    At this time, gu mohan in the office received a call from his mother.


    As the servant said, mother gu had been invited by a friend temporarily to attend an auction, but she had been thinking about what manager li had said on the phone, so she returned home early.


    At that time, gu mohan took people to arrest manager li. Many servants in the gu family''s mansion saw it with their own eyes. When gu''s mother asked about it, she found out what happened and quickly called gu mohan to ask about the situation.


    When gu mohan saw the caller id, he subconsciously furrowed his brows. It was not necessary to guess why mother gu was looking for him at this time.


    Sure enough, as soon as he answered the phone, Mrs. Gu couldn''t wait to ask, "Mohan, I heard that you just took manager li away from the company at your doorstep. What happened?"


    Gu''s father and mother knew more about what happened in the gu group every day than gu Mohan did. Now that gu''s mother pretended to ask, gu mohan could not help but sneer in his heart.


    He did not want to beat around the bush with his mother, so he said directly, "The former manager li had a serious problem at work, and there are also illegal crimes in private. I have already dismissed him."


    Mother gu already knew about manager li''s dismissal, but she still wanted to try her best to fight for him. After all, he was her man. Although he had not helped much, he had worked hard without credit. It was better to keep him than not.


    So she acted accordingly: "Ah, manager li is indeed a little older, and sometimes it is not uncommon for you to be too energetic to keep up with him. You are young and vigorous, and it is normal for you not to like him. But after all, he has been working as a sales manager for many years, and his performance is still outstanding. He was withdrawn in a cold manner... There will be no trouble in the department, right?"


    Mess? Would it cause more trouble if he stayed?!


    Gu mo snorted coldly, "It doesn''t bother you. I''ve arranged for ye zhiqiao to take over his position as manager. Ye zhiqiao is here..."


    "Ye zhiqiao?!" Mother gu interrupted him and questioned, "Do you really want ye zhiqiao to be the manager? As a newcomer, what can she compare with manager li?"


    Gu mohan changed into a comfortable position and leaned back in his chair, "In many ways, she''s better than li. Most importantly, she won''t betray the company. And manager li... Heh..."


    He shook his head and chuckled, "If I''m right, manager li has already had second thoughts. For example, the last time I gave him a death order to fire Li Ruonan, but the next day until now, Li Ruonan still works at the gu family. He dares not to listen to my orders. This shows that behind him, there is someone more powerful than me."


    During the sales department staff dinner, Li Ruonan seduced gu mohan by getting drunk and insulted ye zhiqiao repeatedly. Gu mohan immediately asked manager li to fire Li Ruonan, but manager li called mother gu and asked her to keep Li Ruonan.


    Unexpectedly, because of a selfish decision at that time, it actually became evidence that manager li had two intentions.


    Mother gu did not know if gu mohan had already suspected her of taking this as an example, but she would always feel guilty if she did something bad, and she would never dare to plead for manager li.


    Seeing that gu''s mother was silent for a long time, gu mohan continued to explain to himself, "As for the question you have questioned about ye zhiqiao''s ability, I think you can go into gu''s internal network and check out a contract that ye zhiqiao has recently promoted. After looking at that, you won''t ask me such a question again."


    The contract signed with the rival company, mu shi, was enough to prove ye zhiqiao''s ability to work. Gu mohan did not need to say much.


    Ye zhiqiao''s story had already spread throughout the gu family, and mother gu already knew about it, so she had nothing to say.


    The two of them were speechless for a moment. In order to ease their embarrassment, mother gu asked, "I heard from the people in the company that zhiqiao had a car accident. Is she okay?"


    Gu mohan could hear the concern in mother gu''s voice and could not help but sneer again.


    He knew his mother too well. She didn''t care about ye zhiqiao''s health. She clearly knew that he was doubting manager li, so she came to be a lobbyist for manager li!


    Gu mohan would treat anyone and anything that hurt ye zhiqiao with absolute cruelty and never tolerate it. So he deliberately said sarcastically, "Thanks to manager li, it''s very good."


    This sentence undoubtedly hit mother gu hard in the face. Mother gu could not get off the stage, but she could not help but explain, "Ye zhiqiao''s car accident should not have been done by manager li. It might have been an accident."


    "Accident?" Gu mohan was so disgusted with mother gu''s stubborn and cunning way of doing things that he said coldly, "Oh, then in order to minimize such'' accidents'', I must always keep manager li out of zhiqiao''s safe distance!"


    Between the lines, he would never believe mother gu''s lies!!


    Mother gu had already tried her best, and gu mohan didn''t believe that she had any choice but to give up manager li and talk about what she had planned, "Then... In that case, I will interfere in the company''s personnel arrangements and leave it to you to make the decision. Let''s talk about family matters."


    "Do you have time this weekend? Take ye zhiqiao home and have a seat. Your father and I can see the child again."


    "That child." The last time mother gu called ye zhiqiao this, she was trying to provoke shen monong to retaliate against ye zhiqiao. When she heard it again after many days, gu mohan felt extremely harsh.


    With the lesson from the last time, how could he trust mother gu? At most, she was more suspicious of her intentions and guessed what methods she had come up with to frame ye zhiqiao.


    "No need." Gu mohan grunted softly and said in a deep voice, "With your previous experience, you don''t have to think about what will happen when you go home. Ye zhiqiao had just been in a car accident and was frightened, so you shouldn''t add another injury to her, right?"

 Chapter 370 The Identity of the Following

    "What are you talking about?!"


    As soon as gu mohan finished speaking, an angry rebuke came from the other end of the phone. Then the man said, "Bring it." The person who spoke to gu mohan immediately switched to gu father.


    Father gu had obviously been listening to the conversation between the two of them. Seeing that gu Mohan was unhappy that she refused to agree to the request, he snatched the phone from mother gu.


    He came up and criticized gu mohan, "How can you talk to your mother? Treat your parents with no respect or filial piety. Is this what I taught you? If you want to be a person in advance, you can''t even be a good person. What else do you want to be the person in power and what company do you care about?!"


    Father gu''s words were not pleasant to hear, but it was always right to be filial to your parents. Indeed, there was something wrong with the tone and words gu mohan had just used, and it was not wrong to be taught a lesson by father gu. Gu mohan had to admit that he was wrong, "You are right."


    "Hmph!" Father gu grunted angrily and then said, "Just as your mother said, bring ye zhiqiao over this weekend. As an elder, we invited a younger generation to come here. We actually pushed things around. Let outsiders know. We have to think that we are not close to each other."


    Admit your mistakes, but once again, send ye zhiqiao to gu father and gu mother, let them bully and insult, gu mohan could not do it.


    "Forget it. I don''t think it''s necessary to see each other in this relationship."


    "What is this?!" Sure enough, after listening to gu Mohan''s words, gu father was angry again, "Is there any need to meet? Besides, she''s your girlfriend. Isn''t it natural for parents to visit us often? And don''t forget that not long ago, you promised to come back to take care of me. Your mother said that ye zhiqiao also promised to take care of me. Now that my body is almost all right, I won''t bother with you if you didn''t come before, but this time, you must keep your promise!"


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao did say that they should take care of gu father. Now that gu father mentioned it, gu mohan really had no confidence in refuting it.


    Seeing that gu Mohan did not speak again, father gu guessed that he had loosened up a little and turned to comfort him, "Okay, I know what you''re worried about. Put your heart in your stomach. Your mother and I will treat ye zhiqiao well and won''t embarrass her."


    Father gu softened his attitude and made such a promise. It was unreasonable for gu mohan to refuse directly, but it was still difficult for him to answer quickly.


    Thinking about it, gu mohan had no choice but to take a step back and say, "Zhiqiao has just become a department manager, and her work is quite busy. I will discuss with her first, and then give the two elders an answer, okay?"


    The father did not make things difficult for him and agreed to his request.


    After work, gu mohan went to the sales department on the eighth floor and found manager ye, who was preparing to work late into the night, to discuss the matter.


    Ye zhiqiao was eating a lunch box. When she heard gu mohan''s words, her first reaction was to refuse. After all, her heart was not strong enough to remain calm after being repeatedly hurt, but if she refused, gu mohan would definitely be difficult to do.


    Weighing the two sides, she finally put gu mohan''s feelings first and agreed, "Okay, since it''s an invitation from uncle and aunt, let''s go, but..."


    She bit her lip and added, "I hope to visit my aunt and uncle as a subordinate. If I were your girlfriend, it would still be as awkward as before."


    Saying it was "Awkward" has beautified the previous meetings.


    Ye zhiqiao promised to make gu mohan overjoyed. To be honest, he had already planned an excuse to politely reject gu father and mother, but since ye zhiqiao was willing to go, he was still very happy. After all, he could get in touch with the old people and maybe improve his relationship.


    And ye zhiqiao''s additional request, he naturally did not disagree with the reason.


    Gu mohan called his father back on the spot, telling him exactly what ye zhiqiao was thinking.


    This time, it was rare for father gu to be open-minded and act very calm, "Sure, your mother and I respect your ideas."


    At this point, the matter was finally settled.


    After hanging up the phone, gu mohan also calmed down, packed up and threw away the lunchbox that ye zhiqiao had used, and then sat beside ye zhiqiao to work with her.


    During this period, gu mohan saw that the sky was getting late and persuaded ye zhiqiao several times, telling her that it would take time to get used to suddenly taking over a new job. This was not urgent, but it was her body that was the most important, so he let her go home and rest first.


    But ye zhiqiao didn''t like to drag things out the most. She was particular about finishing things today. If the work was left over, she wouldn''t be able to sleep soundly even if she slept.


    This was evident when she was creating designs in the past.


    Gu mohan could not persuade her, so he could only accompany her quietly and bring his computer over to take care of his work.


    When he looked up again, he found ye zhiqiao lying on the table... Asleep.


    The hour hand pointed to "9." Gu mohan roughly calculated that ye zhiqiao had been working for three hours since she had finished eating. She had not even been to the bathroom once, so she devoted herself to the dazzling words. There were numbers and tables, and you could imagine how tired you were.


    He was afraid that she would not be comfortable sleeping like this, but he really didn''t want to disturb her rare rest time, so he went back to the office and picked up a thin blanket to cover her body, and then left quietly.


    If he stayed there and made any noise, he might disturb ye zhiqiao. He simply went to the basement of the company to visit the "Friend" who had been locked up for a long time because of his stiff mouth.


    Before entering, he took out a prepared recording pen and planned to record the whole conversation.


    "Snap!" Suddenly, a dim yellow light lit up in the basement. The man in the corner was hit by the sudden light and immediately raised his arm to cover his eyes.


    Seeing the man''s shrinking face, gu mohan smiled and sat down at the table. Then he asked lazily, "Manager li, how are things going?"


    He still called him manager li, just to be sarcastic.


    After being locked up for an afternoon, without food or water, he couldn''t even go to the toilet. Manager li, who had never suffered before, was on the verge of breaking down. Taking care of sarcasm or sarcasm, he sprang up from the ground and rushed over to gu mohan, "Master gu... Master gu... Tell me... I... I listen to everything you say... I promise... Will you let me out?"


    Finally on the road.


    Gu mohan nodded with satisfaction and lifted his chin at the chair opposite him, "Go sit there. I have something to ask you."

 Chapter 371 "really Fierce!"

    Manager li immediately went over and sat down, half of his body on the table. Obviously, he couldn''t wait any longer. He hoped that gu mohan would ask quickly and let him go.


    Gu mohan did not drag things along and asked directly, "Tell me, did you arrange for ye zhiqiao''s car accident on purpose?"


    Again, manager li was locked in because he refused to admit it according to gu Mohan''s guess.


    After suffering so much and suffering so much, how could he care whether he was wronged or not? It was better to be alive than anything else, so he changed his previous denial and nodded, "Yes... I did it, you said yes."


    Gu mohan had expected such an answer. He knew long ago that manager li had been adamant that he had no evidence, so he had nothing to fear. If he suffered a little, he would tell the truth.


    "Still honest." Gu mohan praised her lightly, then continued, "So did that third-tier actress Xiaorui have something to do with you?"


    If manager li really did harm ye zhiqiao this time, then gu mohan had reason to suspect that the previous incident was also related to him.


    Poor manager li had no idea who Xiaorui was. He had never even heard of the name, but gu mohan was obviously in a good mood. He did not dare to offend gu mohan at this time, so he agreed without thinking, "Yes, yes, yes... It does matter."


    "Oh?!"


    This time, his answer was indeed beyond gu mohan''s expectations. Gu mohan asked in disbelief, "Does it really matter? You sent her to harm ye zhiqiao?"


    "Harmed..." Anyway, the hat that harmed ye zhiqiao had already been put on his head this time, so it would be fine to button a few more, as long as he could go out, this ghost place, he didn''t want to stay any longer!


    Gu mo han''s eyes widened and he couldn''t help but get up and ask, "So xiao rui''s death... Is it you too?"


    Because of the shock, his voice changed. Manager li didn''t even hear what he was saying, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it''s me."


    After hearing the shocking news, gu mohan then asked a few more questions about ye zhiqiao''s previous accidents. In order to go out, manager li admitted all of them without exception, and his attitude was extremely humble and cooperative. Moreover, because of his fear of gu Mohan and this basement, his expression when he answered the questions had been trembling, so gu mohan could not see anything unusual.


    After answering the last question, manager li''s body was trembling. He pleaded, "Mr. Gu, I have answered all your questions. Are you satisfied? Can you let me go? I promise I''ll listen to you in the future. Please... Let me go!"


    Gu mohan, who thought he had learned everything, finally regained his composure, but found the "Real culprit" behind ye zhiqiao''s back, so he couldn''t let it go easily.


    He stared at manager li with a dangerous smile and said word for word, "You want to leave? Sure, I''ll send you somewhere. You... Will definitely like it."


    Without waiting for manager li to react, he had already grabbed manager li''s wrinkled collar and pulled him out of the iron door in the basement. Then he pulled him all the way to the parking lot and drove straight to the police station.


    As a result, manager li had just fled the horrifying basement of the gu group and entered the more "Terrifying" police station.


    The next day.


    Ye zhiqiao worked late last night, so she couldn''t wake up in the morning until she was sitting in the office with her two panda eyes and yawning incessantly.


    Looking at her yawning self reflected on the computer screen, she couldn''t help but rejoice. Fortunately, the department manager had a separate management room, or else she would look... Too lax if the staff saw her like this.


    Hahaha.


    She was amused by her cold humor, and then she glared hard, ready to get back to work.


    As soon as a software was opened, someone knocked on the office door.


    "Come in." She said softly.


    Li Ruonan pushed the door open and walked in. She looked up at her as if she was embarrassed. She immediately looked away and walked to her desk, "It''s not your first day as a department manager. I... I... I''m not trying to bribe you. I don''t have anything to do with you. It''s just..."


    Li Ruonan mumbled for a long time, and ye zhiqiao had more and more question marks on her head. Seeing that five minutes were about to pass, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but interrupt, "What... Do you want to express... What do you mean?"


    "Ah? Oh!"


    After ye zhiqiao reminded Li Ruonan, he quickly took out a bag of things from behind and piled them all up at ye zhiqiao''s table. He continued to stammer and explain, "Staying up late... Staying up late often is bad for your health and eating more fruit... This is what my cousin brought me. It''s not a good thing. You will just... Eat first. Oh, right, I said, not bribe you!"


    Ye zhiqiao carefully looked at the bag of fruits, there were probably a few papayas and green awns in it. No one should choose these gifts and bribes, right?


    She smiled and nodded, "I understand. Thank you, Ruonan. I did stay up late yesterday. I woke up in a daze this morning. I could eat some fruit to wake me up."


    Li Ruonan did not expect her to give such a good evaluation of the fruit she had sent. She was both shy and happy for a moment, and it seemed less difficult to open her mouth when she had prepared it.


    "Zhi... President ye... I came here today, but I actually have something to tell you." In addition to delivering fruit, what she really wanted to do was to apologize to ye zhiqiao, "I didn''t treat you well before, no! Not only is it not good, I always bully you, but I also take the whole office against you, and make things difficult for you together. Sometimes... I really hate it, I know. I always look down on people who are taller than me. I always want everyone to revolve around me. But this is wrong. I will try my best to change it in the future... I''m really sorry about what happened before. Can you... Forgive me?"


    In Li Ruonan''s usual arrogant style, saying such words and apologizing for forgiveness was something that ye zhiqiao never expected. Ye zhiqiao thought that she would soften her attitude and take the initiative to show her kindness, but she did not expect that she would take the initiative to admit her mistake, but this also proved that ye zhiqiao''s guess was correct.


    Li Ruonan was not a bad person, and he was saved.


    Thinking of the decision she made not long ago, ye zhiqiao was very pleased. She stood up and came to Li Ruonan and said sincerely, "I forgive you."

 Chapter 372 Let Bygones Be Bygones

    "Actually, I can understand your state of mind at that time, and it has something to do with the environment you grew up in. If I were to switch positions and let me grow up in a higher-level environment like yours, I wouldn''t have done better than you." Ye zhiqiao tilted her head slightly and smiled at her, "And sometimes you are cute, really."


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao was willing to forgive her and could understand her. Li Ruonan''s heart was filled with joy and joy, but she said that she was "Cute..."


    Li Ruonan''s expression became very strange, a bit of a sense of laughter and tears, but her good impression of ye zhiqiao, but shuffled up.


    Not only did ye zhiqiao forgive her for not caring about the previous festival, but what really impressed her was ye zhiqiao''s magnanimity and magnanimity.


    Having someone like that as a manager, she felt that her choice was extremely wise.


    The two of them smiled to dispel their enmity, and the knot in their hearts was completely unraveled. Li Ruonan returned to his seat and was about to continue his work, but he did not expect ye zhiqiao to come out behind her.


    Ye zhiqiao was now a manager, so no matter what the staff thought in their hearts, they had to be able to live up to their dignity, so after seeing ye zhiqiao come out, the staff greeted her one after another, caring about this and that.


    Such a deliberate compliment and flattery ye zhiqiao did not like it, but she did not want to hurt the staff, so she took the initiative to explain the intention: "Everyone just continue to work, don''t worry about me. I just think the manager''s office is too stuffy and I want to move back to my old job."


    Afraid that the staff would think too much, she did not forget to explain, "But please don''t feel any pressure. I moved back purely for personal reasons, not to monitor or urge you. Work is done, or work is tired. You all rest as usual. I will never interfere."


    Despite her promise, everyone was cautious at first, observing her reactions everywhere and not even going to the bathroom unless they had to.


    It was not until a few hours later, almost lunchtime, that everyone finally believed that what she had just said was from the heart, and at the same time, her professionalism greatly shocked everyone when they saw that ye zhiqiao had been concentrating on her work, not even lifting her head a few times, except occasionally moving her neck.


    When manager li was here before, because manager li and Li Ruonan, two people of high status, did not like ye zhiqiao, the staff also followed suit and looked down on her. When they calmly observed, they found that ye zhiqiao''s working hours and concentration were much longer than others, and her achievements were all based on her own efforts.


    Even the superiors were so devoted to their work, and the staff were naturally encouraged to work hard. The people who usually prepared to rush to the restaurant before lunchtime had changed their usual behavior today. If ye zhiqiao hadn''t inadvertently glanced at the time to remind them, perhaps the staff of a department would have starved.


    After lunch, ye zhiqiao started working again without waiting for the lunch break to end. When the other employees saw her like this, they started working as well.


    The managers of other departments passed by the sales department, and when they saw this scene, they went back to teach their department staff a lesson, saying that they did not know how to learn from the sales department the spirit of hard work!


    "President ye... Can I... Ask you a question?"


    Ye zhiqiao was filling out a form when she heard that she put down her pen and turned to look at the timid female employee.


    She affectionately called out the employee''s name, then smiled and agreed, "Of course, you ask."


    The female employee heaved a deep sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on her face, "It''s this contract. Yesterday when I went to negotiate with the other person in charge, their meaning here was a little vague, and they asked me to make changes, but I..."


    She shook her head and made a sad expression.


    Ye zhi coincidentally took the contract that she handed over and looked at that place with her finger.


    "It''s not a good choice of words. It can easily lead to ambiguity." Ye zhiqiao made a clear conclusion first, then put her right hand on the mouse, chose a document in the computer to skim through, nodded, and then continued to say to the staff, "It''s normal for these small problems to occur in the contract, but it''s troublesome to deal with them. I was confused when I first entered the job, and then I made mistakes easily. Now I''ll send you this sorted out information. Go back and take a look. If you have any questions or don''t understand, come back and ask me, okay?"


    It was just a word problem, but ye zhiqiao solved all the possible problems in the future. As a rookie female employee, ye zhiqiao''s behavior really helped her a lot.


    The female staff gratefully returned to their positions, but the conversation between her and ye zhiqiao had already been heard by the staff. For the first time, when the staff encountered such a "Down-to-earth" boss, they would also take the initiative to find ye zhiqiao for advice.


    Every time ye zhiqiao faced the staff who came to ask for advice, she was patient and tried her best to help them solve the problem, but the result was... By the time she got off work, her original work plan was left a lot unfinished.


    She would never come home from work until she had finished her task, so today became another day of staying up late.


    Knowing her "Habit," gu mohan rushed over to accompany her. It was not until 9 pm that ye zhiqiao finally finished her work and turned off the lights with him.


    As the two of them were working overtime together yesterday, jian mengqi took little treasure back to her house to live, and today they brought him to the studio to play, so they first drove to the studio to pick up little treasure, and then went to the supermarket to buy food and cook at home.


    After the three of them had cooked together, the three fell in love with the warm and beautiful atmosphere, so today''s dinner was a three-person cooperation - ye zhiqiao cooked, gu mohan helped, and xiao bao sang to cheer them up.


    The atmosphere was good when cooking and even better when eating. The three of them had a nice meal and went to bed early after washing up.


    Because tomorrow was saturday, and they had arranged to go to the gu family mansion together. Although they had the best intentions, they could not predict what would happen. They had to keep their spirits up so that they could deal with all the possible situations flexibly.


    The next morning, under the guidance of ye zhiqiao, one big and one small got up in high spirits and put on the clothes that ye zhiqiao had already matched for them.


    Ye zhiqiao carefully put on a light makeup and tidied herself up. She took the time to grab a round ball for little treasure. Finally, the three of them stood side by side in front of the dressing mirror to check it out.

 Chapter 373 Warm Reception

    The three of them bought a lot of gifts on the way. When they arrived at the gu family mansion, gu father and gu mother had been waiting in the living room for half a day, but when they saw them, they did not show any impatience. As promised, they were treated warmly.


    Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao greeted gu father and gu mother respectively, and the two agreed with a kind smile. Then ye zhiqiao handed over the gifts, including several boxes of nourishment products which she specially introduced the effects and usage.


    Gu father and gu mother naturally happily accepted it and picked up a large paper bag from the table.


    Mother gu pulled little treasure to her side, touched her hair and said lovingly, "Little treasure hasn''t been with us all these years. We''re old and don''t know what children like. We bought her some clothes and toys, and a jade bracelet that we had prepared for Mohan''s child. Now, let''s give it to her as well."


    With that, she squatted down and turned her head to ask, "Little treasure, go back and see if you like it. If you don''t like it, grandpa and grandma will buy you something else next time."


    The scene of mother gu scolding little treasure for being a "Wild seed" was still vivid in her mind. This time, her attitude suddenly changed and she became a kind and loving grandmother. Little treasure could not react for a moment, but he felt that others were good to him, so he should respond. He tried hard to open his mouth and squeeze out an unnatural smile. He said, "Thank you... You."


    She wanted to force herself to call herself "Grandma," but at the last moment she changed her mind. But even so, she still had a little more favorable impression of this "Grandma."


    Not only was little treasure shocked and excited, but gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, who stood by and saw the whole process, also had an unbelievable expression. Their mouths were slightly opened, their eyes were wide open, and their hearts were surging.


    Mother gu... Why is she suddenly acting out of the ordinary? She was gu mohan''s mother. If she insisted on not accepting little treasure, no one else could do anything about it, but now she is doing it. Why on earth?


    Both of them couldn''t figure out the reason, but the old people had already taken the initiative to make up, and they had to follow the steps to get better, so ye zhiqiao then asked, "How is uncle''s recovery? I''ve been a little busy at work these days and haven''t had time to visit, but in the end, it''s our fault for being a junior."


    Gu mohan echoed, "Yes, Zhiqiao had mentioned taking care of the two elders before, but recently she took over the sales department and was too busy to do anything about it."


    "It''s okay." Gu fu led them to sit down on the sofa and took a sip of tea, "I''m fine. I don''t have any problems except for occasional migraines."


    At this moment, mother gu interjected, "A headache is also a disease. If you want to go for another examination, you have to be brave. When it gets serious, you will have to struggle again."


    "Hey! Can''t you expect me to be better? You think I''m like you, running to the hospital every two or three days, getting a patch today and turning yellow tomorrow... Actually, I don''t see any change at all."


    Men and women, no matter how old they are or how many years they have lived together, always have different requirements for each other. Men pursue power and status, women pursue youth and beauty, and even seemingly superior to ordinary people, it is difficult to reach a consensus on this issue.


    Before father gu could finish his sentence, mother gu could not wait to retort, "The reason why you can''t see it just proves that my work is effective, and I''m not going to the hospital, I''m going to the beauty salon!"


    The "Struggle" between the two old men caused gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, who were opposite the coffee table, to look at each other, wanting to laugh... But holding back their laughter.


    Seeing that the situation was about to fall into awkwardness, ye zhiqiao hurriedly took the words and said, "Auntie is very well maintained. I can''t see her age at first meeting. It''s normal to go to the beauty salon regularly. But if uncle wants to keep auntie at home with him more, I have a little trick. I can keep my complexion through food therapy."


    "Oh? Food therapy?" As soon as she heard the topic of beauty, mother gu was really in a good mood, and she did not bother to bicker with father gu, so she immediately turned her attention to ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and continued, "That''s right. It is very effective to make some red date soup for beauty and beauty. There are not many ingredients in it. Just a few red dates with dried tremella, wolfberry and longan will do. It tastes good too."


    Gu''s mother was very interested in the "Red date soup" that ye zhiqiao was talking about, and ye zhiqiao''s skin color was very good, making the "Red date soup" more effective publicity.


    "What you said is quite simple, but I''m afraid those servants can''t do it well. Can you make one for me later?" Mother gu asked with a twinkle in her eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao naturally agreed, but...


    Auntie, just now, my uncle said that he had a migraine, which happened to be the same problem with my mother before, so I specially learned a few massage techniques, and the effect was very fast. If I''m not in a hurry, I''d like to give my uncle a massage first."


    Oh? Massage?


    Hearing ye zhiqiao''s words, gu father, who had been suffering from migraines for a long time, was as surprised as his mother. He immediately decided for her, "Don''t worry. Her soup is not urgent. Girl, you can press it for me first. This headache is really torturous. Because of this, I can''t sleep soundly."


    Seeing gu''s mother nodding, ye zhiqiao went to the back of the sofa where gu''s father was sitting, bent over and placed her finger on his forehead, recalling the acupuncture points she had learned before, and massaged him with appropriate force in order.


    Ten minutes later, ye zhiqiao took her hand away and asked softly, "Uncle, how are you feeling?"


    Enjoying a massage comparable to that of a professional, Mr. Gu was already so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep. He sat up straight with his eyes open, turned his head left and right, and said in surprise, "Hey, don''t tell me. I''ve been feeling a lot of pain before. It''s so much easier to be pressed by you."


    "Sticking to proper massages every day can really relieve these symptoms and even eliminate them. When I get back, I''ll look for videos of this kind of teaching online and let the servants at home learn how to massage you every day."


    Ye zhiqiao finished the introduction in a gentle voice and turned her eyes to mother gu, "Auntie, uncle, this is enough. Now... Shall I make the jujube soup?"


    Mother gu, who had been "Queuing up," nodded at the words and specifically called out the servants in the kitchen to ask them to help ye zhiqiao.


    In fact, the method of red date soup was as simple as ye zhiqiao said, and no one needed to help. Ye zhiqiao put the proportioned ingredients into the pressure cooker, and waited for another 15 minutes, a bowl of light red hot soup with fragrance came out of the pot.

 Chapter 374 The Sudden Arrival of Su Yanbai

    She took out the red date soup and brought it to the living room. Taking advantage of the time that gu mother drank the soup, she went back to the kitchen to tidy up the utensils she had just used. She passed by gu father''s house which was specially used to raise flowers and grass.


    This time, she sat next to her mother and asked her about the red date soup.


    It was rare for Mrs. Gu not to be picky, and she gave a great compliment, "The taste is really good. It''s fragrant and not too light. The most important thing is that it can also be beautified and beautified. In fact, I don''t want to go to the beauty salon all the time. Although the people in the salon have a good service attitude, it takes hours to maintain at a time. It''s so boring. If drinking this can reduce the number of times I go there, I really want the servants to learn."


    "Well, besides this, there are many other foods that can be used for beauty, but I can''t recall them all at once. When I get back, can I compare them and share them with you?" Ye zhiqiao smiled and chatted with her.


    Opposite the sofa, gu father was talking to gu mohan about the company. Seeing the noise around him getting louder, he said to gu mohan, "Leave this to their women. Let''s go upstairs to the study and talk business."


    Gu mohan was stunned, then subconsciously turned to look at ye zhiqiao.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was chatting with mother gu and did not notice the situation here.


    However, seeing that she was getting along well with her mother and that little treasure was having a good time, gu mohan was relieved and did not disturb them. He agreed directly, "Okay, let''s go over."


    After that, the two of them got up together and went up the stairs one after another.


    When he went upstairs, gu mohan looked down at his feet and then said to his father, "Let the servants also lay a carpet on the stairs in the future. It''s slippery after waxing. You and mom are old, and their eyes are not very good. If you accidentally fall, you will be in trouble."


    Without waiting for father gu to answer, he added, "Especially you. Your blood pressure is abnormal and your heart has a problem. Be careful not to slip."


    Perhaps it was because men were not good at expressing their feelings, or because they were busy with work when gu mohan was a child, so the relationship between gu mohan and his parents was not too close. Such thoughtful words seemed to be the first time that gu father heard from gu Mohan.


    Although gu mohan had always attached great importance to his and his mother''s health and used the best medicine for treatment, sometimes in addition to actual actions, as parents, they also hoped to hear the concern of their children.


    Father gu''s mood at this moment could be described as "Ecstasy," but in front of his son, he still had to maintain his dignity, so he said lightly, "Yes, yes."


    But the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be stretched.


    Ye zhiqiao, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced in the direction of the two of them. The second time she looked at them, gu mohan''s back was gone. She settled down again to chat with her mother, but the servant suddenly walked by and said, "Miss su is here."


    Miss su, among the su women ye zhiqiao knew, who could come to the gu family as guests and be called "Miss su" respectfully by the servants, could not think of a second person except su yanbai.


    Sure enough, mother gu immediately stood up and said happily as she walked towards the door, "Yan yan is here. Why didn''t the child come and say hello in advance? The family didn''t even prepare any snacks."


    Looking at mother gu''s movements and expression, the person who came here did not look like su yanbai, but rather like her daughter or prospective daughter-in-law.


    Ye zhiqiao, who had just been chatting with her intimately, was left to dry in the blink of an eye. However, as the master and elder, mother gu personally went to welcome the guests. There was no reason for ye zhiqiao to continue sitting here comfortably, so she had to follow her and welcome them.


    Su yanbai was still parking at the door, and the maid had already brought out her guest slippers to wait for her. Mother gu glanced at the servant with dissatisfaction and complained, "This kind of gray color doesn''t suit her face. Didn''t I prepare pink slippers for her last time? I also reminded you to remember to give it to her, but you forgot again, didn''t you?"


    The servant was disciplined and immediately apologized, then went to get his slippers.


    Mother gu glared at her again and took out her brand new pink slippers from the shoe cabinet next to her. She sighed and said, "Forget it. Your memory is not as good as mine. I''ll take it myself. But the next time, I will send you home!"


    After that, mother gu stood at the door with her slippers and waited for su yanbai, while ye zhiqiao, who was beside her, looked down at the pair of "Grayish" slippers on her feet.


    Two minutes later, su yanbai finally walked in with a smile on her face. Naturally, she took the slippers in gu''s mother''s hands and put them on as she said coquettishly, "Auntie, you are the best. You will do everything you promise me. Unlike my father and brother, who always deceive me."


    "They are busy with their work day by day. They are not as idle as I am. You have to be considerate." The way mother gu talked to her could only be described as "Doting."


    Su yanbai pouted. After changing her shoes, she pulled gu''s mother inside as if she didn''t see ye zhiqiao standing next to her.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and was about to follow her when mother gu, who had walked a few meters away, suddenly remembered her and turned her head.


    "Hey, Zhiqiao, I didn''t know that yan yan came back just now. I drank all the red date soup. She always went to the beauty salon with me. Try making her a bowl of soup!"


    "... I" ...


    Ye zhiqiao stared at mother gu for a long time, and when she saw that she had no intention of joking, she nodded speechlessly, "... Okay."


    Mother gu did not seem to notice her surprise at all. After hearing her promise, she turned around and left. This time, she did not look back. She sat directly on the sofa with su yanbai and began to chat.


    "Yan yan, you haven''t been here for a long time. By the way, you didn''t come to the luxury goods exhibition last time. I saw a lot of things on it, and I think you will like it." Mother gu said regretfully.


    Su yanbai blinked and tilted her head, "Really? I went abroad with my friends a while ago and didn''t catch up, but I also heard that the exhibition had a good reputation. How was it, auntie? Did you see anything?"


    "Well, I don''t care about those brands or anything. It''s mainly about the eyes." As she spoke, mother gu waved her hand and asked the servant to bring her new handbag.


    "I don''t know what''s good about the limited distribution of only three models in china. Just look good, yan yan. You use a lot of luxury goods. Help me take a look."


    Su yanbai put the bag in her hand. The logo of hermes on it was so eye-catching that she couldn''t ignore it. In addition to the various decorations on the bag and the limited amount of money that gu''s mother said, it was estimated that not a few hundred thousand could not come down.

 Chapter 375 Arent You a Servant?

    She raised her eyebrows and smiled, praising, "It''s a very good bag, and it matches your temperament, as if it was custom-made for you."


    "Oh, it''s not that good. You''re such a sweet talker."


    Although she knew that su yanbai was trying to flatter her, mother gu could not help but feel happy. She thought that su yanbai was such a sweet little girl.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao happened to walk over from the kitchen with the boiled jujube soup. Seeing that the atmosphere between them was very good, she did not take the initiative to break it. She put the soup on the table in front of su yanbai, then walked to the sofa beside her and sat down.


    Little treasure was tired from playing with toys and was sitting there watching tv. Ye zhiqiao reached out and held her in her arms, ready to watch with her.


    After a long silence, little treasure suddenly turned his head and stared at ye zhiqiao with big watery eyes. He said in a low voice, "Aunt ye, that aunt surnamed su, little treasure doesn''t like her. Don''t do anything for her, okay?"


    "Hmm?"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned. She turned to look at su yanbai and asked, "Did she bully you?"


    Little treasure shook his head with his mouth full, but he insisted, "I don''t like her. Can you not make soup for her?"


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips in confusion, wondering why little treasure hated su yanbai for no reason.


    Although su yanbai''s attitude towards her had always been bad, occasionally sarcastic and sometimes tit-for-tat, they had not seen each other for a long time, and little treasure had seen her even less often, even without saying a word, how could she be so repulsed?


    After thinking about it for a while, there was no result. Ye zhiqiao could only attribute the reason to the fact that little treasure was too sensitive or simply felt sorry for her, so she didn''t care much. She pinched little treasure''s face and said, "It''s little treasure''s freedom to like or dislike anyone. Little treasure has the right to make his own decisions. And aunt ye promised me that I would protect myself. No one can bully us with me around."


    "Well, now let''s just ignore the others and watch cartoons with peace of mind, okay?"


    Little treasure seemed dissatisfied with the result, but he nodded obediently and returned to ye zhiqiao''s arms.


    But ye zhiqiao and xiao bao wanted to calm things down, but su yanbai didn''t think so.


    In fact, since she entered the door, she had been observing ye zhiqiao and little treasure intentionally or unintentionally. On the surface, she was chatting with mother gu, and she didn''t leave ye zhiqiao for a second.


    Originally, when gu mother asked ye zhiqiao to make soup for her, she was overjoyed. She thought that ye zhiqiao would definitely show her face if she felt wronged. When the time came, gu mother and ye zhiqiao would fall out.


    No way! Ye zhiqiao wanted to endure the calm for a while, but she couldn''t let her get what she wanted!


    So, su yanbai looked at the steaming bowl of jujube soup.


    "Pa la -"


    The bowl fell to the ground vertically and shattered. Su yanbai raised her hand that was holding the bowl to her mouth and blew it, "This soup is too hot. I can''t hold it steady. I''m sorry, auntie."


    Of course, mother gu would not say anything about her. Instead, she went over to comfort her.


    Seeing this, su yanbai''s lips curled up with a sly smile and said loudly, "Oh! Ye zhiqiao! Hurry up and clean up the debris!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s only reaction at that time was: call me????


    Of course, ye zhiqiao heard su yanbai breaking the bowl so loudly, but su yanbai had to clean up her own mess or call a servant over. Why did she call her?


    While she was still in a state of confusion, su yanbai once again shouted, "Ye zhiqiao, come quickly. What if the fragments hit auntie later?!"


    Heh -


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and stood up to look at her, "Why do you want me to clean up? Shouldn''t it be you or the servants?"


    Finally, ye zhi was forced to answer. Su yanbai smiled smugly and said with her chin held high, "I never do household chores. This kind of dirty work will dirty my hands. Besides, I''m just asking the servants to clean up."


    "What?" Ye zhiqiao didn''t respond and blurted out.


    Su yan shook her head and rolled her eyes at her, "I said, I was just calling a servant. Aren''t you a servant? Was it you who made the soup for me just now? Then it''s your turn to clean up the mess."


    She purposely changed her mind and told her what gu''s mother had just told her. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble with ye zhiqiao.


    But now in the gu family mansion, arguing in front of gu''s mother was outrageous. Even if ye zhiqiao was irritated by her, she had to endure it for a while.


    The villa of the gu family mansion had two living rooms, separated by a hallway and a hall. Ye zhiqiao picked up little treasure, turned and walked straight to another living room, leaving su yanbai and debris on the ground behind.


    If su yanbai failed to provoke her once, how could she stop? She chased ye zhiqiao to another living room and said sternly, "Stop pretending to be ye zhiqiao. Aren''t you angry already? Why don''t you dare to show your true thoughts and have to pretend to be broad-minded?"


    Ye zhiqiao turned on the tv for little treasure and switched to the cartoon channel just now, ignoring her.


    Su yanbai continued, "It''s useless not to talk! Do you think you can win over your aunt and uncle? Stop dreaming! People care about their eyes. Compared to you, uncle and aunt prefer me to be their daughter-in-law. And I came here today to get engaged to brother gu!"


    Hearing the word "Engagement," xiao bao, who had no intention of watching tv, immediately turned his head to look at ye zhiqiao. His eyes were already misty. Obviously, he understood what su yanbai said and really thought that his father was going to get engaged to su yanbai.


    Little treasure was a child, and she believed whatever the adults said, but ye zhiqiao was not.


    She patted little treasure on the head, shook her head and whispered in her ear, "That auntie is lying. Daddy only likes little treasure and auntie ye. He won''t get engaged to anyone else."


    Su yanbai couldn''t hear what ye zhiqiao was saying, but she was sure it wasn''t good, so she rushed to ye zhiqiao''s side, pointed at her and threatened, "Answer me! I warn you, ye zhiqiao, if you ignore me again, I will..."


    She looked around and finally noticed the little treasure with a slightly shrunk expression. She snorted and continued, "I will take good care of this little girl!"


    She threatened little treasure, and ye zhiqiao had no choice but to sigh and stand up, leading her to the coffee table a little further away from little treasure.

 Chapter 376 Who Didnt See It?

    "What the hell are you doing?" Ye zhiqiao asked calmly and helplessly.


    Su yanbai gave a "Cut" and looked sideways at her, "I want to tell you that I''m here to get engaged to gu mohan today, so you''re redundant. Get out of here!"


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled and shook her head, wondering if she should sympathize with her iq or eq.


    "Engaged, are you coming by yourself? Your parents are so relieved of you, and your engagement is such a big deal that you come here alone?"


    "I..."


    Ye zhiqiao choked su yanbai for a long time and didn''t say anything. Of course, she was lying about the engagement. She just wanted to make ye zhiqiao jealous and retreat, but she didn''t want ye zhiqiao''s brain to be clear.


    Su yanbai stood there awkwardly, her cheeks flushed with shame, but her eyes were filled with anger, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.


    She was the only one who had ever embarrassed others, and ye zhiqiao dared to embarrass her! Although no one else saw it, she could not swallow it!


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid that things would be too big to end, but she was not afraid!!


    "Yan yan... Yan yan?"


    Mother gu''s voice was getting closer and closer, as if she was looking for su yanbai.


    Su yanbai shot a quick glance at the living room door. Before she could enter, she picked up a piece of cream cake from the coffee table beside her and threw it at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao took a quick step back, and the cake smacked at her feet, but the thick cream on it broke apart and splashed all over the floor.


    After su yanbai threw the cake away, mother gu happened to walk in, so she did not pay attention to ye zhiqiao''s situation and walked towards mother gu.


    However, she did not want to, she just took a step, just stepped on the spilled cream, the greasy cream to the maximum extent to eliminate the friction between the soles of shoes and the smooth floor. Before she could react, she had already swayed forward along the inertia for some distance. After shaking left and right, she fell on gu mother who did not understand the situation.


    The two of them exclaimed in unison. Fortunately, the sofa was not far away from them. Mother gu was hurriedly leaning against the back of the sofa to avoid the tragedy of both falling to the ground.


    The scene just now was too dangerous, but it was only a moment. In the middle of it, ye zhiqiao wanted to rush over to help, but when she was anxious, she accidentally stepped on the cream and slipped.


    However, since none of the three of them had an accident, there was no need to explain. Looking at the "Deadly" cream cake on the ground, ye zhiqiao sighed, "The problem between people, how can you take things to vent your anger? It''s not right to waste food."


    In fact, she said this because of little treasure''s presence. Just now, she repeatedly tolerated su yanbai, but did not want to cast a shadow on little treasure. Later, she had no choice but to fight back a few words, which was inevitable.


    But even if little treasure saw their argument, she still had to explain to little treasure the inappropriate behavior during the argument, such as wasting food. She wanted to tell little treasure that no matter what the situation was, a dispute could be a matter of fact, but she should not vent her anger.


    However, her unintentional words were interpreted as sarcasm by su yanbai, and she immediately snapped out, "Who are you talking about? You? I have plenty of money, just a few pieces of broken cake, but you have to criticize me?!"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to pester her anymore, so she didn''t say anything more. She quietly went to get the tools to clean up the mess on the ground, then brought a cup of warm water to gu mother and said gently, "Auntie, did you knock anywhere just now? Drink a glass of water and sit here to calm your nerves. Try moving your arms and waist to see if you''re hurt."


    An elderly person who flashes a little may leave a hidden danger in his body, so he must not take it lightly.


    Mother gu could not help but feel a warm current in her chest when she heard her concern. Mother gu did not have a daughter, so she had never felt the warmth of her own daughter, and she could feel that ye zhiqiao really cared about her.


    But now su yanbai, who was so angry that she glared at her, was still standing next to her and staring at her. In addition to her disdain for ye zhiqiao''s "Hypocrisy," there was also a threat of discontent, as if to say: if you dare to accept her kindness, I will be angry!!


    Most people would not care if they were angry, but su yanbai was the su family''s favorite daughter. Gu mohan had offended the su family by announcing the annulment in front of the su family''s relatives before, and even now the two families were in a state of indifference. If she didn''t help su yanbai now, then with su yanbai''s bad temper, it was estimated that the su family and the gu family would be at odds in the future.


    In the face of interests, what is a little concern?


    These thoughts flashed through her mind, and then mother gu immediately said to ye zhiqiao, "I''m in good health. I don''t need you to worry."


    After saying this, mother gu glanced at su yanbai''s expression and saw that she was still not satisfied with the latter. She changed her tone and continued with a slight contempt, "Also, we have always put this kind of cake as decoration. No one will eat it. Of course, it''s not a waste of food. You should contact the upper class more in the future. Don''t be so ignorant and make people look down on it, okay?"


    Su yanbai was very happy to hear such words that could embarrass ye zhiqiao. Her gloomy face finally showed signs of turning back. She even forced out a faint smile and said sarcastically, "Yes, how poor this person is. Everything is stuffed into his mouth. He should have been used to being poor since he was a child. Even if he climbs up to the rich, he can''t afford to live a rich life."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at su yanbai with her lips raised and thought, when I was designing for luxury brands abroad, didn''t you know to use the limited edition handbag from a few years ago? I''m not as good as you, but I''m better than knowledge and taste... Heh... You don''t deserve to be compared to me!


    Previously, ye zhiqiao could ignore gu''s mother''s contempt for her as an elder, but su yanbai also took a ride and looked down on people. She could not just let it go.


    Ye zhiqiao was too lazy to waste time with them, so she raised her hand and tucked the hair behind her ears, highlighting the diamond stud on her earlobe.


    Foreign famous jewelry companies have custom-made, rare blue diamond materials, exquisite and small, full of design, especially under the natural light, like a shining asteroid.


    Moreover, the price of these earrings was several times that of the handbag that mother gu showed off just now.


    Mother gu and su yanbai were dumbfounded when they saw the situation. Although they didn''t know as much about foreign brands as ye zhiqiao, they were at least people who traveled around the parties and auctions all year round. The pros and cons of jewelry could still be seen.

 Chapter 377 The "war" Caused by Earrings"

    Most importantly, just a few seconds before ye zhiqiao showed off the pair of earrings, they were still laughing at ye zhiqiao for being ignorant!


    I didn''t expect retribution to come so soon. Before I could enjoy the pleasure of stepping on others, the cold wind slapped them hard in the face.


    The scene was very awkward for a while, and su yanbai choked again, but jiang was still very old. Gu''s mother was only embarrassed for a moment, then immediately choked her neck and shouted, "What''s that you''re wearing? It was expensive at first sight. It must have been Mohan''s money, right? Hmph! My son''s things are mine. Now I don''t want to see you wear them. Take them off and give them to me!"


    Mother gu finally brought out her trump card of being unreasonable and unreasonable again. She seemed to know that ye zhiqiao was easy to bully, so she would not frown every time she made unreasonable demands.


    And ye zhiqiao really wouldn''t argue with her, even if the boss gave the earrings to her when she was a designer at the jewelry company abroad to reward her performance, but since mother gu insisted on wanting them, she could bear to part with them.


    Ye zhiqiao took off the earrings and handed them to mother gu. However, out of kindness, she subconsciously reminded her, "Auntie, if you like this earring, you can keep it for yourself, but it''s best not to wear it, because this earring is specially designed for young people. If you like, I can help you choose the right age style from the same brand."


    "What do you mean, you?!"


    As soon as ye zhiqiao finished speaking, su yanbai immediately jumped out to defend her mother. "What do you mean by design for young people? It''s just an earring. If you don''t want to say it out directly, don''t insult others after giving it away!"


    Not knowing where to poke su yanbai''s painful foot again, ye zhiqiao was puzzled and said, "I''m telling the truth. Where did I insult people?"


    Su yanbai snorted and raised her eyebrows, "You haven''t insulted anyone yet. Aren''t you just a little younger than auntie? This isn''t something that can be changed. Why are you showing superiority in front of auntie? Only young people can wear it, and I have to help auntie choose the right age. Why, do you think auntie is old?!"


    No matter how old she was, a woman always wished that she would be young forever, especially for a woman like mother gu who always talked about beauty care. After su yanbai''s "Reminder," she also felt that ye zhiqiao''s words just now had a different meaning, and her face instantly turned ugly.


    Thus, mother gu took su yanbai''s arm and placed the earring in her hand. She pretended to be friendly and said, "Yan yan, since someone thinks that auntie is not suitable to wear it, auntie should give it to you. You''re young and beautiful. There''s no one more suitable for this earring than you."


    Gu''s mother had wanted to please su yanbai, so she took this opportunity to give her love, and she was so angry with ye zhiqiao that she killed two birds with one stone.


    Ye zhiqiao was indeed a little unhappy that the things she sent out were immediately given away. However, mother gu''s actions were too deliberate. How could she follow the traps set by others into it? So she continued to smile, as if she didn''t care about these things at all.


    But su yanbai was not the one who took advantage of her. Her biggest "Advantage" was that she had to be obedient when she got the advantage.


    She immediately put the ear stud on her ear, shook her head to ask her mother if she looked good, and after getting a positive answer, she turned her attention to ye zhiqiao. She deliberately raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Oh, this is natural beauty. It is a waste to wear good things on some people, but on me, it is called icing on the cake."


    Che -


    Ye zhiqiao secretly sneered and mourned for the idioms that su yanbai had ruined.


    What about her natural beauty? Greasy noodles are more or less the same! From the very first time she saw her, ye zhiqiao had a great question about su yanbai''s taste. Now what surprised her was not only su yanbai''s taste, but also her diploma from a senior school in the country. Now it seems that it was likely to be piled up with money.


    Ye zhiqiao was very disdainful of su yanbai''s flaunting behavior, but she still did not fight back verbally. Instead, she straightened her collar and revealed a necklace on her collarbone.


    Big brands, high quality materials, top designer designs, the price is not as high as the blue diamond earrings, but this is specially customized by gu mohan, the precious thing is that it is unique.


    Once again, su yanbai was blinded by her ornaments and immediately turned to look at mother gu with a strong desire in her eyes.


    However, this time, only su yanbai was targeted by ye zhiqiao, and mother gu was a bystander, and the matter of stealing things once was too much. Mother gu still understood the principle of taking things back as soon as possible, so she did not give su yanbai any response.


    Seeing this, su yanbai understood what mother gu meant and couldn''t help but get angry. She turned to glare at ye zhiqiao fiercely.


    However, even if she was unwilling, she could not openly rob her. Besides glaring at ye zhiqiao, she had no other powerful means of attack.


    Mother gu said in a timely manner, "Okay, okay, our faces are the prettiest. They look great without those messy jewelry. Come and sit on the sofa with auntie. Auntie will show you a picture of an auction two days ago."


    In the end, su yanbai rolled her eyes at ye zhiqiao hatefully, then reluctantly followed mother gu to the side and sat down.


    Mother gu really took out her cell phone and showed su yanbai photos one by one. However, su yanbai was not interested in the "Old things" hundreds of years ago. Usually, mother gu said one thing, and then she added one.


    While gu''s mother was admiring a painting of a famous person and nagging that gu''s father would love it when he saw it, su yanbai quietly took out her cell phone and sent a wechat to a friend with a wide range of information and contacts, asking the other party to help her investigate ye zhiqiao.


    She wanted to see where ye zhiqiao came from. What ability could gu mohan have to be so obedient to her that he would not hesitate to buy such an expensive ornament for her!


    "Yan yan, look at this again. What a beautiful vase! It doesn''t seem to go against you even now!"


    Su yanbai had just sent her a wechat message when her mother tugged at her to read something. She quickly put away her phone and began to nod.


    Then, she suddenly thought of something. She looked around and asked, "By the way, auntie, where is brother gu? I don''t think... I haven''t seen him since I entered."


    "Mohan... Mohan..."


    Mother gu looked a little embarrassed.

 Chapter 378 Alone with Su Yanbai

    Recently, her relationship with gu mohan was not very good. Although she said a few words in a friendly manner today, it was all just a facade. She knew in her heart that the knot between her and gu mohan had not been untied at all.


    Moreover, ye zhiqiao was still here. She had just snatched ye zhiqiao''s ear stud. Gu mohan knew that he was going to seek justice for ye zhiqiao. If there was a fight, no one would look good.


    After all, su yanbai was an outsider. Her bad relationship with gu mohan did not want to be revealed to her mother.


    So mother gu said perfunctorily, "Talk to his father..." Then she quickly changed the subject and said, "Aye yan, you haven''t known Mohan for long, have you? I''m telling you, he had a lot of fun things when he was a kid, and it would make you laugh."


    Su yanbai had originally planned to get up to look for gu mohan, but the "Interesting things" that gu''s mother had mentioned had piqued her curiosity.


    So she sat down on the sofa again and prepared to listen to mother gu''s story with great interest.


    Mother gu looked up for a moment and smiled, "Let me tell you about the mid-term exam when he was eight years old."


    "At that time, his father and I were busy with work, so we didn''t have time to care about his studies. We only asked him about his grades after the exam. If he did well, we would reward him. If he didn''t do well, we would punish him with pocket money. After the mid-term exam, we asked him about his grades as usual. He said that he was third in the exam and his grades were in the top three. We didn''t care. But we didn''t expect that when we held the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher told me that he had regressed a lot. This time, he only got 15 in the exam!"


    "That was the first time his father had taken the time to give him a parent-teacher conference. His face turned red and white, and when he picked him up, he was beaten up. The teachers and students were all scared out of their wits, and he was also dumbfounded. Later, he told us that we had never held a parent-teacher conference for him before, but the only time he lied, his father went. In the next six months, this incident became a full-year laughing stock. Haha..."


    It seemed as if the scene of that time had reappeared before her eyes. After saying that, mother gu could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle.


    Su yanbai listened to the whole story, but she grinned reluctantly and said slowly, "Brother gu was so naughty when he was a child. It''s too embarrassing to be beaten in front of so many people, isn''t it?"


    She shook her head and said with some disdain, "And those classmates, why don''t they take brother gu seriously? How dare they laugh at him? If it were me, no one would dare to talk."


    "...


    Originally, it was an interesting childhood event, but also a rare memory of gu father and gu mother with gu mohan. It was not enough for the parties to recall the memory, but to tell su yanbai that she still disliked it? And change the taste of these simple things?


    Mother gu immediately put away her smiling face. Although she did not say anything, she was secretly scolding su yanbai for not knowing what to do!


    No matter how slow su yanbai''s reaction was, she realized that she had upset her mother. Although she felt that she was just telling the truth, she still dared not be too headstrong in front of her mother.


    In order to ease the awkwardness, she had to suggest, "Auntie, it''s still early. It''s too boring to stay in the house all the time. It also bothers you and uncle to rest. Why don''t we young people go to ktv?"


    The more Mrs. Gu looked at her, the more displeased she became. Besides, she didn''t want to keep her any longer, so she readily agreed, "Okay, go play."


    After that, she turned around to greet ye zhiqiao, who was watching tv with little treasure, and said, "Zhiqiao, you should go with yan yan too. Little treasure, I''ll take care of you. You''re still a young man. Don''t keep circling around the children."


    Ye zhiqiao was taken aback, as if she didn''t expect mother gu to ask to bring her along and promised to help take care of little treasure.


    Mother gu was little treasure''s grandmother. Even if she did not like it, she would not dare to do anything bad to little treasure for the sake of gu mohan. Ye zhiqiao was relieved.


    In that case, ye zhiqiao did not shirk, stood up and agreed, "Okay, then I will go upstairs to call Mohan."


    Of course, gu mohan was going to play with the young people. Otherwise, there would only be her and su yanbai. The scene... When she thought about it, her hair would stand on end...


    But what happened next really made her stand up, because in the study upstairs, she did not find gu mohan and gu father. She asked the servant, who also said they did not know where they went.


    It had been several hours since gu Mohan went upstairs. Perhaps the two of them ran out for a walk when they were tired of staying in the study. But the garden of the mansion was so big, and there were rockery bridges and so on. Besides, there was a large area outside the mansion that belonged to the gu family. Ye zhiqiao had no place to look for it at all!


    If she couldn''t find gu mohan, wouldn''t that mean she was really going out alone with su yanbai?!


    At the thought of this, ye zhiqiao quickly shook her head and pretended to run back to the living room to reject su yanbai.


    But then she thought about it. The person who had just invited her was mother gu. She had already agreed and now she refused. Wasn''t that a rebuttal to mother gu?


    It was scary to get along with su yanbai, but worse to get along with mother gu!


    After comparing the two situations, ye zhiqiao finally decided to endure the awkwardness and go out with su yanbai.


    The two of them came to a ktv that su yanbai had booked. It was not yet officially open, so the environment was a little chilly.


    However, su yanbai seemed to be a regular customer. As soon as she entered, several waiters came over to greet her, and the manager of ktv was the one who arranged a private room for them to bring drinks and snacks.


    After su yanbai entered the door, she took a comfortable position on the sofa and picked up a microphone. She raised her chin and pointed at another microphone and said to ye zhiqiao, "Take it. Let''s compete."


    "Competition?" Ye zhiqiao still picked up the microphone and asked, "Compared to singing?"


    I remember that when I just arrived at the sales department and attended the staff dinner, ye zhiqiao''s singing voice surprised the whole audience. Did su yanbai have a good voice?


    Su yan baili nodded, "Yes, let''s compare. The jukebox here can be graded. It''s much fairer than people''s ears."


    Naturally, she had to sing in ktv, so it wasn''t a big deal to have a competition after singing, so ye zhiqiao agreed, "Okay, then let''s compete. You or I will go first?"


    "Don''t worry."


    Su yanbai leisurely picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth, "There must be a bet. How about the loser drink? Let''s talk about this cup first..."


    She pointed at a glass, then extended three fingers and continued, "Three beers, you must drink all of them, but don''t make excuses not to drink."

 Chapter 379 Roll the Dice

    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at the wine glass and said briskly, "No problem."


    The competition officially began, and su yanbai chose the song first.


    A popular song, su yanbai''s voice was sweet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of a baby voice, but overall, it was okay, the pitch was slightly poor, but at least all in tune, the final score was a medium score - 79 points.


    She seemed to be satisfied with the result of her singing, and when she returned to her seat, she even made a face at ye zhi provocatively.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head helplessly and walked over to choose the song.


    Faye Wong''s "The human world," the euphemistic tone, the plain lyrics, but connected to it is enough to make one''s heart ache.


    There was nothing wrong with ye zhiqiao''s voice and singing skills in controlling this type of songs, but one thing was that she was completely unfamiliar with this ktv and the jukebox in front of her, and did not adjust the accompaniment and the volume of the harmony like before su yanbai sang, so when the song reached its climax, a group of music completely drowned her voice and did not need to score systematically. She knew it would be a "Disaster." .


    Sure enough, 54 was her score.


    "Hahaha... Hahaha... You sing... What are you singing? Are you screaming? Haha..."


    Instead of taking advantage of her, su yanbai lay on the sofa and laughed, describing ye zhiqiao''s singing with all kinds of ugly words.


    Ye zhiqiao had the heart to explain to her that it was the machine, not her singing. But when she got closer, she noticed the sly smile on her face. She seemed to have known for a long time that ye zhiqiao would lose because of it.


    Since su yanbai was intentional, it was impossible to discuss with her to try again. Ye zhiqiao knew that if she lost, she would lose. But she couldn''t accept this kind of stupid losing, so while su yanbai was fiddling with her phone, she secretly poured the wine from three cups into the decorative potted plants and changed into carbonated drinks.


    Whether it was for the purpose of the competition or anything else, she had to be as careful as possible about su yanbai, alcohol, or as little as possible.


    The light in the room was dim, and it was difficult to distinguish the color of the liquid in the glass, so su yanbai put down her phone and still patted the table to coax ye zhiqiao to drink quickly, not to cheat.


    What''s so hard about drinking drinks?


    Ye zhiqiao raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. In order to create the feeling of alcohol, she frowned and grinned for a long time, then ate several pieces of fruit to relieve the "Stimulation of alcohol."


    After the "Wine" was finished, su yanbai naturally asked for another match, but this time, ye zhi coincidentally learned a lesson and adjusted the sound equipment in advance.


    In the next two matches, she beat su yanbai by a big score without any surprise.


    The first time she failed, su yanbai thought that it was her own punishment and she was embarrassed to drink all the wine according to the agreement, but the second time she only drank two glasses and refused to drink any more.


    Seeing that her cheeks were flushed and she seemed to be unable to drink, ye zhiqiao did not bother with her anymore and let her go.


    However, su yanbai refused to give up and insisted on rolling the dice again.


    Ye zhiqiaoxin said that you can''t drink it anymore. How can you compete? Where did the confidence come from? But she couldn''t resist su yanbai''s insistence, so she had to agree.


    Su yanbai asked the waiter to bring in the dice, and then set the rules with ye zhiqiao. As usual, the punishment was three glasses of wine.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that the rules were fair and did not raise any objections.


    After the game started, ye zhiqiao lost three games in a row. Just after the fourth round was still lost because of two two points and one four points, she faintly sensed something was wrong.


    Su yanbai''s previous rule was that each person had three dice, and the one who had the most points added up was the winner. However, only one of the three dice in her hand had thrown a big number, and the other two didn''t exceed three points.


    Ye zhiqiao had read a post about how to manipulate the dice, and what the result would be, and then connected with su yanbai''s performance just now, ye zhiqiao felt that she must have been deceived by su yanbai!


    But if it was exposed in person, su yanbai would definitely deny that ye zhiqiao could not break the dice to verify because of this matter, so she came up with a good idea.


    When su yanbai was so excited by her many victories that she got up to adjust the air conditioning, ye zhiqiao quickly grabbed her two problematic dice and exchanged them with su yanbai, then returned to her original sitting position before su yanbai turned around.


    Su yanbai did not feel anything unusual and continued to compete with ye zhiqiao with a winning smile. However, as the "Unexpected results" appeared again and again, the smile at the corner of her mouth finally stiffened and her face became sinister.


    "What happened? Why didn''t you win?!" Su yanbai muttered to herself resentfully.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled as she looked up to drink some water and thought to herself, "Not only did I change the dice with you, but I also used a little dice rolling technique that I accidentally learned abroad. You can still win. That''s the ghost!"


    "What, are you still playing?" Ye zhiqiao wiped the water stains off her lips and looked up at su yanbai.


    Su yanbai''s face was grim, "Play! I can still be afraid of you, but..."


    She cleared her throat to hide her discomfort and continued, "But I''m going to the bathroom first. I just drank too much."


    Ye zhiqiao reached out her hand and made a "Please" gesture.


    Out of the private room, the manager was standing at the door waiting. Su yanbai walked to a corner where it was not easy to find out with her high heels. Then she threw a tantrum at the manager who followed her, "What''s the matter, so that everything you prepared can go wrong?! Isn''t it your secret skill to tamper with those things?"


    Su yanbai had contacted the manager long before she proposed to compete with ye zhiqiao and had him send someone to do something in the dark. The two dice that ye zhiqiao felt wrong were indeed problematic.


    What su yanbai didn''t know was that ye zhiqiao had already exchanged the dice when she wasn''t paying attention, so she thought it was the manager''s mistake.


    The manager couldn''t get into the private room, so naturally he didn''t know what was going on inside, which made miss su angry. He could only bow down and apologize, "I''m sorry miss su, it was our mistake. We will definitely find a way to remedy it. Your excellency doesn''t care about the small fry. Can you give us another chance?"


    "Chance?" Su yanbai curled her lips and said coldly, "It''s because of you that I have to drink so much wine. If my brother knew, do you think he would give you a chance?"

 Chapter 380 Mother Gu Asked Little Treasure

    "Miss su, I only work for people. You mustn''t punish me like this!" The manager pleaded with his grandfather to sue his grandmother.


    It wasn''t a short time since she came out. If she didn''t go back, she might arouse ye zhiqiao''s suspicions. Su yanbai waved her hand impatiently and said, "Forget it. I''m too lazy to argue with you. Just open up the waiter who went in to deliver the dice. Maybe there''s something wrong with him!"


    After that, su yanbai shook her hair and returned to the private room.


    "It''s been so long?" Ye zhi coincidentally asked when she came back.


    Su yanbai laughed, "Oh, there are a lot of people in the bathroom. They are waiting in line."


    Ye zhiqiao raised her hand to look at the watch, smiled, and did not expose her, but asked, "So... Are you still playing the game?"


    The dice on the table were still lying there quietly, and the empty wine bottles beside them were also tilted. Unconsciously, the two of them had already drunk a lot.


    The dice game had failed many times, so su yanbai naturally didn''t want to play it anymore, but it was not easy to bring ye zhiqiao to her own place, so su yanbai wouldn''t be comfortable if he didn''t punish her.


    So, su yanbai said, "This thing is boring. Let''s switch to something else, or... Eh! Shall we play truth? Anyone who doesn''t tell the truth will be punished for drinking!"


    The two of them grew up in a completely different environment and experience. There were no other friends around them. There was no rule to judge whether they were telling the truth or not. There was no fairness in this game.


    And su yanbai''s true purpose could not be concealed at this time.


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed her hand against the glass in front of her for a long time, then smiled and agreed, "Sure, let''s play this."


    Since su yanbai wanted to get her drunk, she would definitely come up with another plan. Instead of trying to guess later, she might as well follow su yanbai''s instructions now. Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at nearly half of the beer that she had stolen to change into a drink when su yanbai went to the "Bathroom," and smiled again.


    While su yanbai, who was in the dark, was still playing games with her "Seriously."


    As expected, when it was ye zhiqiao''s turn to ask questions, su yanbai was always sure that her answer was true, but when it came to ye zhiqiao''s answer, she firmly denied ye zhiqiao''s answer. No matter how ye zhiqiao explained or took out the photos as evidence, she did not believe it and insisted that ye zhiqiao drink according to the agreement.


    Ye zhiqiao purposely made an unconvinced expression every time, and as the number of "Drinks" increased, her "Anger" became more and more obvious.


    When she was about to explode, she finally couldn''t hold on to "Fall drunk."


    It was already two in the afternoon, and ye zhiqiao was "Drunk" in the ktv with few customers, while gu mohan in the gu family mansion finally "Regained his freedom."


    At that time, gu mohan was called to the study to chat by his father. Later on, he felt that the room was a little stuffy and came to the courtyard. Finally, he went out for a walk. The gu family mansion was halfway up the mountain. It was summer and the place was full of green. The two of them walked and chatted, occasionally sitting on the stone steps.


    Gu mohan rarely had a good time talking to his father, so even though he was rejected several times on his return trip, he was not unhappy at all. In fact, if he wasn''t worried about ye zhiqiao and little treasure, he could have a chat with father gu without caring about the time.


    The two of them walked into the villa one after another. Gu father had stomach problems and his lunch was delayed, so he felt a little uncomfortable and went straight to the restaurant. Gu Mohan was going to go back to the living room to look for ye zhiqiao and xiao bao.


    But when he reached the door of the living room, he stopped abruptly.


    Because in the living room in front of him, there was a faint sound of conversation between mother gu and little treasure. They said that the conversation was not very accurate. It should be said that mother gu asked and little treasure answered.


    "Little treasure, tell grandma, have your father and aunt ye been living together recently?"


    Little treasure looked at the friendly grandmother in front of him and nodded hesitantly.


    Mother gu gave a clear "Oh" and then asked, "Do you usually sleep alone or with the two of them?"


    Actually, what mother gu really wanted to know was not who xiao bao was sleeping with, but whether gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were sleeping together. She was afraid that xiao bao wouldn''t understand, so she took a turn.


    Little treasure really didn''t understand. He blinked his eyes in confusion and told his mother that she was sleeping with aunt ye, but gu Mohan was not a child. He knew exactly what his mother meant!!


    He disliked being interfered with in his life, let alone prying into his privacy, and that person was his mother, whom he had long been dissatisfied with!


    Gu mohan''s hand, which was hanging by his side, tightened unconsciously. If it was normal, he would have rushed in without hesitation and questioned the reason why mother gu did this! But today... His relationship with his father had just eased, and although his mother secretly asked little treasure about him and ye zhiqiao, she did not do anything drastic. After thinking about it, he held back his anger for a while, leaving room for both sides.


    So he turned around and went back to the door of the villa, pretending to have just returned and shouting, "Little treasure? Daddy''s back!"


    He shouted as he walked towards the living room.


    When little treasure heard gu mohan''s voice in the living room, he ran out of the room subconsciously. Although mother gu was unwilling to ask again, she did not dare to stop little treasure because of gu mohan''s appearance.


    Seeing that little treasure ran out of the living room happily and was not troubled by his mother, gu mohan stopped worrying about what had just happened and squatted down to ask little treasure, "Where did aunt ye go?"


    If ye zhiqiao was there, mother gu would not dare to be so presumptuous.


    Little treasure jumped up to gu mohan''s neck and hung it on his chest. He whispered in his ear, "Aunt ye is out playing. She''s... At the ktv..."


    Little treasure had never been to a ktv, but when he heard adults talk, he wrote it down.


    Then, she whispered mysteriously, "The one who went with aunt ye was the one who was a little annoying."


    Annoying aunt?


    Gu mohan was stunned and then asked, "Which aunt?"


    Little treasure did not know su yanbai''s name. He only heard her mother call her "Yan yan" occasionally, so he told gu mohan the truth.


    Gu mohan immediately guessed that it was su yanbai and quickly confirmed, "Are there only the two of them?"


    Little treasure nodded, but gu mohan couldn''t help but worry.


    Su yanbai and ye zhiqiao''s relationship has always been bad, and su yanbai was used to being crazy outside. If she went out with her, ye zhiqiao would probably be bullied, right?


    Thinking of this, gu mohan immediately called Qin Baiye and asked him to come over and help him take little treasure home.

 Chapter 381 Su Yanbai and Gu Chengyan

    Qin Baiye was on vacation today and was playing nearby. When he received a call from gu mohan, he rushed over immediately.


    After handing little treasure over to Qin Baiye, gu mohan finally felt at ease and then drove to the nearest ktv.


    The gu mansion was far from the city center, and the nearest ktv was almost half an hour''s drive away. Gu mohan was almost certain that ye zhiqiao must be there.


    Sure enough, when he quickly walked in and pulled a waiter to ask, the waiter without thinking pointed out the room number for him, and said that the two women inside had ordered a lot of wine, from the morning until now.


    Ye zhiqiao was a good drinker, but it was hard to guarantee that su yanbai would not use any sinister tricks. Gu mohan was worried that he was too anxious. Before the waiter could finish, he rushed into the private room.


    The room was surprisingly quiet, with no harsh lights or loud music. Under the dim light, there was only a small figure lying on the sofa, seemingly unconscious.


    Gu mohan recognized ye zhiqiao at a glance and ran to her side in two steps. He turned her over and leaned on his arm, shaking her gently a few times, but the other party did not respond. Only the strong smell of alcohol between his nose could barely answer gu mohan''s question.


    So he was drunk.


    Gu mohan muttered unhappily, "How did you drink like this?"


    Then he put ye zhiqiao back on the sofa and lay down, and took off his coat to cover her body, thinking that if she was so drunk, she might not be comfortable in the car, so let her sleep for a while.


    After comforting ye zhiqiao, gu mohan finally remembered that little treasure who came with ye zhiqiao called her "Annoying aunt."


    He had not seen su yanbai since he came in. According to the waiter, su yanbai should have been drinking with ye zhiqiao.


    It had nothing to do with gu mohan whether su yanbai was there or not, but leaving ye zhiqiao behind made gu mohan very unhappy. What if something happened to ye zhiqiao during this time? So gu mohan pushed the door open again and went out, ready to look for her around the private room.


    Unexpectedly, just as he turned around and closed the door, gu mohan heard su yanbai''s voice coming from the darkness beside him.


    The corridor that stretched out ended in a corner similar to a rooftop. Gu mohan had come with his friends before, so he knew.


    Maybe su yanbai was already there when he came over, but they didn''t make a sound and the environment was dark, so they didn''t notice each other.


    He slowly walked towards the darkness and heard that su yanbai seemed to be on the phone. The voice on the other end of the phone was completely inaudible. Su yanbai lowered her voice deliberately and could only hear a few words.


    Gu mohan didn''t have the habit of eavesdropping, just wanted to scold su yanbai for leaving ye zhiqiao''s irresponsible behavior, so he made an effort to go back, ready to wait for su yanbai to finish the call before talking.


    "... Gu chengyan" ...!!!


    A familiar name suddenly appeared in su yanbai''s mouth, successfully blocking gu mohan''s departure.


    He froze for a moment, then turned around hesitantly, not sure if he had heard wrong.


    At this moment, a questioning "Gu chengyan" appeared in his ear again. This time, he still did not hear su yanbai''s other words. Only these three words were clear!


    Gu chengyan, su yanbai, gu chengyan, su yanbai...


    Gu mohan had never heard that these two people knew each other, but now that su yanbai had said gu chengyan''s name, did that mean that the person who was on the phone with her now was gu chengyan? Even if not, it must have something to do with gu chengyan.


    Su yanbai didn''t like ye zhiqiao. Every time she saw her, she would be sarcastic and insulted. Gu chengyan still remembered how he tried to frame ye zhiqiao. Was there a connection between the two...?


    On second thought, a chill ran down gu mohan''s back and straight up to his head. After being frightened, a calculated rage burned.


    Originally, he thought that even if su yanbai was so mean, she was just a spoiled child, so he would turn a blind eye to some things and not care about her, but now it seems that this "Child" is very deep in thought, and with the person who framed ye zhiqiao, what good would it be?!


    While gu mohan was angry and resentful, su yanbai had not noticed the approaching danger. She was happily hanging up the phone and putting away her cell phone, excited that she knew ye zhiqiao''s secret.


    She had asked her to investigate ye zhiqiao''s friend at the gu family mansion. The other party asked around and then told her the name of gu chengyan, who had been fighting ye zhiqiao.


    That''s why she first knew about gu chengyan a few seconds ago.


    But gu Mohan did not hear the whole conversation and had misunderstood su yanbai based on his own guesses. Moreover, the malicious guesses made him extremely angry now. Just as su yanbai came out of the corner, he immediately rushed over.


    "Su yanbai!!"


    A loud shout frightened su yanbai, who was immersed in her own world, but when she found out that the person who stopped her was gu mohan, her angry face immediately relaxed and she took the initiative to lean over and sweetly shouted, "Brother gu, why are you here?"


    "Get up!" Gu mohan waved her arm away and asked with a calm face, "Who are you calling? Gu chengyan?!"


    "!"


    Su yanbai obviously didn''t expect gu mohan to hear her call, and she secretly investigated ye zhiqiao''s phone. For a moment, she was obviously nervous, like a child who had been caught doing something bad.


    Gu mohan took her reaction for granted and panicked, "Su yanbai, I remember telling you before not to do anything bad to ye zhiqiao. Have you forgotten?!"


    He raised his hand and pointed to the private room. He frowned and said, "Is it you who brought ye zhiqiao here? You forced her to lie there all by herself, and then you ran out safely to continue your conspiracy? I really underestimated you, huh? Su yanbai, speak up!!"


    "No... I..." Su yanbai had never seen gu mohan so angry. She was so scared that she couldn''t even speak.


    "All right!" Ye zhiqiao was still alone in the private room. Gu mohan had no time to talk nonsense with her, so he nodded her nose and warned her again, "Today''s incident can only be the last time. If I find out that there is another time, you will never appear in the gu family again!"

 Chapter 382 Whose Trick Was It?

    With that, gu mohan strode back to the private room in a huff.


    Ye zhiqiao was still asleep, but gu mohan could not rest assured that she would continue to stay here, so he gently carried her back and took her away from the ktv.


    When he passed su yanbai, gu mohan did not even look at him for charity. He still looked ahead as if he did not see anyone at all.


    "Uh-"


    After walking out of a distance, ye zhiqiao gave a whimper and finally showed signs of waking up.


    Gu mohan weighed her on his back and grumbled, "Are you willing to wake up? I don''t even know if you''re being sold."


    Ye zhiqiao buried her head in his neck and secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Then she cleared her throat, pretending to be unwell, and asked in a daze, "Why are you here? Where is this?"


    "The road -" gu mohan replied in a long voice, both helpless and dissatisfied.


    "Hee hee..." This time, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    Gu mohan didn''t realize anything was wrong and continued to complain, "You still have the nerve to laugh. Do you know how drunk you were just now? Even if you come out with su yanbai, you still dare to drink. Don''t you know who she is?"


    Ye zhiqiao curled her mouth and did not speak.


    Gu mohan was not ready for her to answer, so he added to himself, "But su yan bai shouldn''t drink as much as you do, right? How did she end up with nothing, and you got so drunk? Did you fall into her trap?"


    A truck honked its horn and cut gu mohan off.


    After the truck left, gu chengyan continued, "It must be. You''re a competitive and kind-hearted person, and she''s easily fooled you with a provocation or an act of pity. Tell me about you, ah..."


    Gu mohan seemed to have no choice but to take ye zhiqiao''s character and sighed deeply.


    But at this moment, ye zhiqiao on her back said slowly, "No, I wasn''t tricked by su yanbai, I was tricked by auntie."


    At that time, the gu mother who asked her to come out with su yanbai knew that su yanbai didn''t like her and that she couldn''t find gu mohan, so she offered to let her go out with su yanbai to "Play."


    Most importantly, in order to establish a good relationship with her mother, she would never refuse, which she knew very well.


    Therefore, su yanbai was just a weapon. The person who really planned the strategy should be the seemingly kind mother gu.


    The series of things that mother gu had done today were not to be criticized, but they were all linked together to reveal the clues. The intentions were not without danger.


    His mother always wore a mask when facing his girlfriend and daughter. The mask was an amiable elder, but the real face under the mask was a villain''s sinister face. Gu mohan could not lift his strength to be angry, but felt deeply sad.


    The family that should be closest to him, but he wanted to destroy his happiness by any means, heh -


    "I''m sorry."


    After a long time, gu mohan could only squeeze out such a sentence to express his guilt for ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao could see clearly the change in gu mohan''s mood. She had just blurted out the truth subconsciously, but she did not expect to give gu mohan such a blow.


    But it should be pointless to ask for it now.


    In order to comfort gu mohan and give him some comfort, ye zhiqiao thought for a moment and decided to reveal her "Secret."


    "Mohan, it''s a good thing to tell you one more thing." Ye zhiqiao pulled his ear and pretended to be mysterious.


    Gu mohan was not in the mood, but he perked up and asked, "What is it?"


    Ye zhiqiao yawned, tilted her head and breathed out a cold breath at gu mo. Then she smiled and reminded him, "What''s the smell?"


    "?" Gu mohan was stunned by her and suddenly realized something. He stopped and asked incredulously, "Orange juice?!"


    Bingo!


    Of course, it was the smell of orange juice. After drinking more than a dozen glasses, ye zhiqiao was almost orange now. If she hadn''t been clever and sprinkled some beer on her body, su yanbai might have noticed it.


    "Keep walking!"


    Ye zhi coincidentally patted gu mohan on the head lightly. When she saw him take a step forward in a daze, she explained slowly, "I know su yanbai wanted to drink my wine on purpose, so when she wasn''t paying attention, I changed all the wine on my side into orange juice. I wasn''t drunk at all. I was just fooling her just now."


    Ye zhiqiao''s words really succeeded in diverting gu mohan''s attention. Gu mohan was surprised and happy for a moment. He couldn''t help shaking his head and saying, "Oh, I really underestimated you. I usually act like an honest person, but I didn''t expect you to be so good at deceiving people!"


    "Praise me or scold me?" Ye zhiqiao asked suspiciously with her mouth bulging.


    Gu mohan laughed a few times and weighed her up again, "It''s a compliment. Why is my gu Mohan''s girlfriend so smart?"


    With gu mohan''s teasing, the two of them laughed in unison.


    On the road at three or four o'' clock in the afternoon, the shadows cast by the trees and the chirping of cicadas in the midsummer were beside them. Occasionally, cars passed by, and the window reflected a bright halo on the two of them, bright and hazy, which seemed to be the best scene in the world.


    After laughing enough, ye zhiqiao looked back at Mohan''s shoulder. The place where they were pressed together was already covered with sweat, but no one cared.


    Gu mohan took a leisurely step, endured it, endured it, or discussed it with ye zhiqiao, "Zhiqiao, you have indeed muddled through today''s matter with your little cleverness, but not everyone is as stupid as su yanbai. Promise me that you won''t go to ktv alone in the future, okay? If you want to go, let me accompany you."


    Ye zhiqiao was not a lively person. She didn''t like the noisy environment of the ktv and the dazzling lights. It didn''t matter whether she went or not, so she happily agreed.


    "Hey! Where''s little treasure? Are you still at the gu mansion?" Ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered that she had never seen little treasure.


    Gu mohan had thought that she was drunk and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable in the car, so he carried her on his back all the time. But where was little treasure?


    "I asked Qin Baiye to pick it up."


    "Oh." Ye zhiqiao nodded and then asked, "Today is the weekend. Is Qin Baiye on vacation too? It''s so embarrassing to ask for help during the break. It would be great if you left little treasure at the mansion and then we could go back together to pick her up."


    Speaking of why he had to let little treasure go, gu mohan''s heart suddenly grew heavy again. He moved his lips and whispered, "I don''t want little treasure to stay there alone."

 Chapter 383 Gu Chengyan Asked for Help

    ???


    "Why?" Ye zhiqiao was puzzled.


    Didn''t father and mother treat little treasure well today? She gave her clothes, toys and a jade bracelet, and mother gu asked to take care of little treasure. Although there were some reasons for her to go out with su yanbai, at least it proved that they did not reject little treasure, right?


    Gu mohan hesitated for a moment, feeling that the matter should not be hidden from ye zhiqiao, he said in a deep voice, "I overheard my mother asking about little treasure before. It was either a normal conversation or seeing that little treasure was a child, so I wanted to ask something from her. For example, do I live at your place and who does little treasure sleep with?"


    Hearing this, ye zhiqiao''s heart trembled and realized that things were not simple.


    First of all, gu mohan judged that she was 100 % trusting, and according to the way she handled things before taking care of her mother, it was possible to force a child or a little treasure that she did not care about. It was just that as a grandmother, it was a little... Too inhumane to use this method on her granddaughter.


    Ye zhiqiao thought so, but she couldn''t say so directly.


    Gu mohan looked very depressed. She could not make things worse. She could only comfort him in a soft voice, "It''s okay. Didn''t something happen? Let''s be careful in the future. Don''t let little treasure be alone with... Uncle and auntie. That won''t happen."


    What else could he do? This is the only way.


    Gu mohan nodded silently and continued walking slowly.


    After a "Fulfilling" weekend, ye zhiqiao embarked on her journey to the gu family again on monday morning.


    When she came down from the elevator on the eighth floor, she met many colleagues who greeted and greeted her. Ye zhiqiao smiled and responded one by one until she reached the door of the manager''s office and saw gu chengyan looking flustered.


    "What''s the matter?" Ye zhiqiao stepped forward and asked.


    As soon as gu chengyan saw her coming, his gloomy face looked as if he had found a savior. He immediately perked up and leaned in front of her, "Zhiqiao, oh no... Manager ye, I''m in trouble. Can you help me?"


    Ye zhiqiao took a step back to distance herself from her, looked at the manager''s office and suggested, "Go in and talk about something. The other colleagues will have to work later. Don''t disturb them."


    Gu chengyan agreed and followed her into the manager''s office.


    Ye zhiqiao sat in the office chair and turned on the computer. Then she asked, "What kind of trouble have you caused? Don''t worry, tell me about it."


    "Ang..." Gu chengyan pursed his lips and frowned, "I''ve offended a group of clients. It''s just... Isn''t there an event in our department recently to give gifts to our old clients on the anniversary of the company? The rule is to communicate with the customers first and then deliver them on time. The customers were very happy when they received the news, but I... I left a list when I arranged the gifts, which means..."


    "In other words, there is a list of old customers who did not receive gifts after receiving the notice?" Ye zhiqiao finished speaking for her.


    ... Yes. Gu chengyan lowered his head.


    For a company, the most important thing is the customer, especially the old customer! In order to keep these people, almost every year, the company specially sent gifts to maintain relations and goodwill, but gu chengyan''s mistake would undoubtedly ruin the goodwill of old customers!


    If it can''t be recovered effectively, then gu will lose this part of the customer completely, and then lose the interest.


    "What should I do, manager ye? You must help me! I don''t want to lose this job..." Seeing that ye zhiqiao didn''t speak for a long time, gu chengyan became anxious and begged again.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded to calm her down, then thought about it for a while before saying, "Don''t worry, our priority is to appease these customers and apologize to them. Well, if you bring people to visit these clients in person, there won''t be too many people on a page. More than 20 people can finish it in two or three days. You should be more sincere. Besides gifts and a little apology, most of the customers are reasonable and should forgive you."


    "Ah?! I''m going to apologize myself?"


    Gu chengyan asked incredulously, his eyes wide open.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there a problem? You can''t go?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s expression became serious, and gu chengyan shrank a little. He immediately changed his mind and said, "No, of course I can go. It''s just that there''s something wrong with our gu family, isn''t it good for our customers to know? Or I''ll say that the delivery guy made a mistake and it has nothing to do with our company, okay?"


    Hearing her words, ye zhiqiao''s brows furrowed even deeper, and her face turned ugly, as if the other party''s words were extremely strange.


    "If there''s a problem, don''t solve it. Instead, shirk responsibility and lie to the client. Who taught you that?" After a long time, ye zhiqiao could not help but ask in a deep voice.


    The reason why the gu family could develop to such a grand stage now was that it had a great relationship with the integrity style that had always been respected. It could even be said that because of the integrity, the gu family could develop from an office building on the first floor to such a famous big group with several subsidiaries. The idea of gu chengyan really shocked and disappointed ye zhiqiao even more.


    Gu chengyan also seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he immediately said roundly, "No, no, no, I didn''t mean that. I mean... I was... I was too anxious, so my mind was... Not very bright. Don''t worry about me. I will do as you say."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know if gu chengyan was really too flustered to make a mistake or if it was his nature, but she preferred the former.


    "Well, there''s a regular meeting this morning. After the meeting, you can go ahead and do it. I''ll take care of the rest of the work for you first, but next time you have to be careful. Such a low-level mistake will not be made by any new employee in the workplace."


    "Yes, yes." Gu chengyan left the manager''s office as if he had been granted an amnesty.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her back and shook her head helplessly. She took a deep breath and continued to prepare the materials for the regular meeting.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    A few minutes later, the door of the manager''s office was knocked on.


    Ye zhiqiao''s train of thought was interrupted, but she was not angry, "Come in."


    Gu chengyan''s smiling face then emerged from behind the door. When she got closer, ye zhiqiao realized that she was still holding a cup in her hand.


    "Anything else?"


    Gu chengyan placed the cup next to ye zhi''s skillful hand, still smiling strangely and awkwardly, but his tone was sincere, "Manager ye, I really appreciate that you can help me think of a way, but I can''t compare myself to you in any way. There''s nothing to thank you for, so I made a cup of coffee specially for you. If you don''t mind, drink it while it''s hot."

 Chapter 384 Gu Chengyan and Su Yanbai Joined Forces

    The white porcelain cup, which was hooked on the edge of the gold wire, was filled with dark brown liquid. The surface of the liquid rippled with gu chengyan''s movements, and the hot air was accompanied by a rich and mellow fragrance.


    Even ye zhiqiao, who didn''t like coffee very much, could not help but take a deep breath and became more energetic.


    However, didn''t gu chengyan always hate her because she refused to cooperate? It was already strange to suddenly come for help this morning, and now to bring coffee on the pretext of gratitude, the purpose was really suspicious.


    Ye zhiqiao''s mind flipped quickly, but her face was calm. She nodded calmly and said, "I said you don''t have to thank me. Remember to pay attention next time. All right, I have your heart. Leave your things here. You can go out and work."


    Gu chengyan held the cup and plate and pushed the coffee forward again, "Yes, I have memorized your teachings. I will do as I say. Then this coffee... You must drink it. After all, it is my intention."


    "Yeah, let''s go out." Ye zhi answered vaguely and let her out.


    The eviction order had been issued, and gu chengyan had no reason to stay, so he had to give a false thank you and then leave the manager''s office.


    After she left, ye zhiqiao once again looked at the steaming cup of coffee, frowned slightly, then stood up and prepared to go out to the bathroom.


    On the way, she kept thinking about gu chengyan. According to common sense, with gu chengyan''s mind, it was a once-in-a-century thing to make a mistake on such a small matter as giving gifts, not to mention that gu chengyan actually came to her the first time after he found out he had made a mistake. She had just rejected her request to cooperate!


    The more ye zhiqiao thought about it, the more confused she became. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn''t understand gu chengyan''s thoughts. She sighed helplessly, then walked to the bathroom and prepared to step in. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the stairwell door beside her!


    The window at the end of the corridor was filled with golden sunlight. The man was standing against the light. Ye zhiqiao could barely recognize his approximate figure with half narrowed eyes, so she guessed that he was a woman.


    "Follow me."


    The woman opened her mouth, and ye zhiqiao recognized the voice almost instantly.


    The two of them walked into the stairwell one after another, and the door slowly closed. Compared to the corridor, it was cold and cramped.


    Ye zhiqiao stood straight in front of the woman and looked at her with an undisguised puzzled gaze.


    Li Qian came to the company and she knew that the person who brought li qian here was gu chengyan. She also knew that with the mindset of watching from afar, she had never taken the initiative to find Li Qian, nor paid any attention to her. She just wanted to wait quietly and see what else they could do. Anyway, this was the gu family and gu mohan''s world. Even if gu chengyan and li qian wanted to do something, they couldn''t escape gu mohan''s eyes.


    But Li Qian was surprisingly quiet. Just now, it should be the first thing li qian said to her after she came to the company.


    "Gu chengyan and su yanbai have joined forces."


    There was no preparation, no explanation, and even no care about the credibility of his words, Li Qian said to ye zhiqiao as if reporting work.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows slightly, suppressed her surprise and asked, "How do you know? Who told you that?"


    "You don''t have to worry about that. Just be careful." Li Qian shook his head, then turned and left.


    Ye zhiqiao stopped her and stared into her eyes for a long time. She didn''t look like she was lying, but she still persisted and asked, "Why should I believe you? I haven''t forgotten that you almost tied me up abroad!"


    Li Qian seemed to have guessed that ye zhiqiao would not believe her words easily, which was why she left a note instead of warning her face to face when she heard that gu chengyan was trying to kill ye zhiqiao.


    However, the last time was different. Gu chengyan and su yanbai had nothing to do with each other before. Even if gu mohan came to investigate, she could not find out the relationship between the two. Therefore, she had to personally show up to remind ye zhiqiao.


    "I have nothing against you. There''s no need to harm you." Li Qian took a deep breath and continued, "I was forced to do that before. Of course, I have my own reasons. But I don''t mean any harm to you now. Although I can''t explain anything to you right now, I hope you will listen carefully and think about what I say."


    At this time, Li Qian looked calm, as if whether ye zhiqiao believed or did not believe her words, it would not cause her any accidents.


    Li Qian was smart, ye zhiqiao had known for a long time, but it was also because of this kind of smart, always unable to make people feel at ease.


    ...


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    Bang!!!"


    After patting the door a few times and seeing that there was no response, shen mo nong pushed the door open and walked in swaggeringly.


    Several staff members in the office looked at each other, but they didn''t know who shen mo nong was. Just looking at shen mo nong''s posture, there was an unpleasant energy, so no one dared to stop him.


    Shen mo nong walked straight to the desk where a few small potted plants were placed, grabbed a piece of fleshy leaf and placed it on his fingertips to fiddle with, then looked through the folder on the table in boredom, and finally sat down on the office chair, tiptoed a little, and spun around with the pulley under the chair.


    "Why aren''t you back yet?!"


    She complained irritably, stepping on the wall and leaning back in her chair, forming a posture with her back to the desk.


    Today was the first day she "Regained her freedom." Since the last time ye zhiqiao''s oxygen tube was exposed and the news reached shen Qingyuan''s ears, shen Qingyuan took the opportunity to take on a new film and kept her in the crew. On the surface, it was to let her put her mind at ease into the role, but the real purpose was to ban her!


    Perhaps it was because she felt guilty about her identity, or because she could find a sense of control in her body. Shen Qingyuan had always been very good to her daughter, or even indulged in her, like this time''s grounded, never happened before.


    Shen monong naturally couldn''t accept it, so after being locked up for a few days and finally allowed out, her first thing was to settle the score with ye zhiqiao!


    I heard that ye zhiqiao had a good time while she was away. Not only did she enter the gu family and meet gu mohan day and night, but she also quickly promoted to become a sales manager. How could it be reasonable for her not to congratulate her? Therefore, she resolutely gave up the idea of stopping people on ye zhiqiao''s way home and rushed directly into the gu family.


    "Thump thump thump thump..."

 Chapter 385 The War of First Meeting

    The sound of high-heeled shoes suddenly sounded and became clearer and clearer. After shen monong listened carefully, he finally slowly raised the corner of his mouth.


    Is ye zhiqiao back?


    Shen mo nong did not close the door after he entered. His high heels walked into the manager''s office without any obstruction, and he got closer and closer behind shen mo nong...


    After a moment of silence, a loud shout suddenly sounded, "What do you mean?!!" !!!


    Shen monong was unprepared, and she was so scared that she almost jumped out of the chair. At the same time, she also realized that the person who came was not ye zhiqiao.


    The back of the office chair was not low, and shen molong was sitting lazily, so she could not see who was sitting on it from gu chengyan''s position, so she naturally mistook shen molong for ye zhiqiao.


    She came here this time to check on ye zhiqiao''s coffee situation. Ye zhiqiao''s attitude was very vague before. She was afraid that ye zhiqiao was just superficial and perfunctory, so she came here specially, but she didn''t expect ye zhiqiao to actually not drink it. Isn''t this hitting her face?!


    Gu chengyan''s anger rushed to her head in an instant. Ever since she abandoned ye yiyu''s identity and became gu chengyan, in order to get close to ye zhiqiao, she had been bowing and carefully looking at people''s faces. However, the more she accommodated, the less ye zhiqiao took her seriously.


    A cup of untouched coffee became the last straw that crushed the camel. After days of depression, it finally reached its saturation point, breaking through the barrier and rushing out.


    Gu chengyan slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Mr. Ye is really picky. Coffee made by a small person like me won''t catch your eye. It''s so hard to give you face to drink!"


    She turned around and leaned back on her desk, "But isn''t it disrespectful of you to do things like this? No matter what, we are all colleagues, and the time to enter the company is almost the same, no one is much better than anyone, to be able to achieve success is just relying on luck, ye zhiqiao, you should not be too dog-eyed and look down on people!"


    Shen moshen frowned slightly after listening to gu chengyan''s aggressive sarcasm, and probably understood the cause of the matter, but... Because a cup of coffee was so open to his boss, this woman behind him was really not good at it.


    Shen monong shook her head contemptuously and as she turned around, she deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "If you think others are underestimating you, then may I ask what is the reason for you to say these words? You... On what grounds?"


    "Heh -" gu chengyan sneered and then said angrily, "Just because I''m not worse than you! Whether it''s appearance or work, I''m ten or a hundred times higher than you! As your subordinate, I think highly of you. You''d better not..."


    The shrill voice stopped abruptly, and surprise and doubt appeared in the eyes of the two people who looked at each other. However, gu chengyan''s eyes were a little more surprised, and shen monong''s doubts were a little more. She really wanted to know the answer to the question from the bottom of her heart.


    "Who are you?"


    The two of them held each other for a while, and gu chengyan asked first, with a deep dissatisfaction in his tone.


    Although both gu chengyan and shen mosheng saw ye zhiqiao as a thorn in their side, they had never seen each other before. Today was the first time they met, but it was such a big black dragon. It was conceivable that neither of them had a good first impression of each other.


    First, gu chengyan, who originally wanted to get angry with ye zhiqiao, turned around and saw such a stranger, but this stranger just arrogantly asked her a question like that. After thinking about the connection between the front and the back, she naturally put shen moshen into ye zhiqiao''s camp and thought that shen moshen was ye zhiqiao''s person.


    And shen munong was sitting on ye zhiqiao''s office chair at this time, which deepened gu chengyan''s guess.


    As long as it was ye zhiqiao''s side, it was the enemy!


    Thinking of this, gu chengyan snorted and said provocatively, "Who are you? You can sit in our president ye''s seat too? Hmph, how shameless! Why don''t you roll down?!"


    "!!"


    Shen mo nong''s eyes were wide open, and her carefully outlined eyebrows were so distorted that she could not tell the shape. She came here today to settle the score with ye zhiqiao, but before she saw ye zhiqiao, she was scolded by a crazy woman who appeared from nowhere. How could she bear such anger?!


    So she no longer maintained her noble demeanor and slapped the table to get up and choked, "Do you think I can take a liking to this poor position?! You are the only person who can use it as a treasure, not even give it to me for free! Didn''t you just complain about being looked down upon? But from my point of view, you''re the one who really has dog eyes!"


    "What did you say? What right do you have to talk to me like that?!!" Gu chengyan was not easy to bully and blocked his words without thinking.


    Shen mo nong was always in the role of female number n. She had already practiced all kinds of throwing and quarreling, and she immediately raised her chin and hit back, "Go home and look at yourself in the mirror. Then you will know who is not qualified and save yourself the embarrassment here."


    "You''re the one who''s shameless!"


    ...


    ...


    "President ye..."


    "What''s wrong?" Ye zhiqiao looked at the staff''s hesitant expression in puzzlement, then followed their gaze and turned her attention to her office.


    As she walked closer, she finally heard the sounds of a world war erupting inside.


    "What happened?!" She raised her arm and knocked hard on the wide open door. The two men, whose faces were torn apart, instantly quieted down and cast their eyes on her in unison.


    Shen molong? Gu chengyan? How did they get together and fight?


    This was the first question that surfaced in ye zhiqiao''s mind, but then it was replaced by the mess that rushed into her eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao walked into the manager''s office and looked around with her head down, afraid that she might accidentally step on some important documents or ornaments. She didn''t understand why the two of them quarreled and made her office look like this, but as the owner of the office, she was very angry.


    Finally, she went back to her desk and pointed at the door. "Get out of here, now!" She ordered angrily."


    "President ye, I..."


    Gu chengyan wanted to explain, but ye zhiqiao quickly waved her hand and interrupted, "Don''t say anything. Get out!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s attitude was tough, and shen monong couldn''t stand her pretentious look. She curled her mouth and turned around happily.

 Chapter 386 An Endless War

    Gu chengyan''s previous anger had already been almost vented in the quarrel with shen monong, and now she returned to the subordinate who was bending her knees and holding back, so she also listened to ye zhiqiao''s words and retreated with an apologetic face.


    Then, ye zhiqiao called a staff member to clean up the garbage on the ground, and then rearranged the documents. After everything was done, she went out to see the two people who had "Turned the world upside down" in her office.


    "What''s going on between you two? Why are you fighting in my office?"


    There were many people in the office. Ye zhiqiao called them out and asked them in the hallway where no one was passing.


    Shen monong rolled her eyes at her head and did not make a sound except for a snort from her nose.


    She was not a member of ye zhiqiao''s staff, so she didn''t have to report to ye zhiqiao. Besides, she was here to look for trouble today. Moreover, a woman like gu chengyan, who had no quality, was not fit to work at the gu family. She hoped that things would get worse and there would be no way to end it. At that time, gu chengyan would be expelled!


    Gu chengyan, on the other hand, was even more displeased with shen mo nong''s arrogant and self-righteous manner. Although she no longer wanted to offend ye zhiqiao, the root cause of her quarrel with shen mo nong was still ye zhiqiao, so in order to maintain her strong image, she did not answer ye zhiqiao''s question.


    Ye zhiqiao''s words seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, not even stirring up a splash. The two people opposite each had a face that smelled, as if they were on the same level.


    However, in the office during working hours, the staff in the department could see it clearly. If this was the case, how would ye zhiqiao manage others and how to convince the public?


    Ye zhiqiao had no choice but to lift up the manager''s momentum and say in a deep voice, "You can''t say it, but this can''t be settled. If you still refuse to explain the situation, then I will deal with the problem in my own way."


    "...


    "...


    Shen monong and gu chengyan had their own thoughts, but they both held the mentality of looking at the situation first and did not say anything.


    "Okay."


    Ye zhiqiao let out a breath and nodded, "In that case, I''ll call the police first. Shen monong, you are not an employee of our company, but you entered the gu group without permission during working hours, and broke into the sales manager''s office to make a big fuss, which seriously affected the normal work of my staff. There are cameras everywhere in the building. The police come and see what happened. Whether it is a fine or a detention, we will follow the procedure."


    Ye zhiqiao turned to gu chengyan and explained to her subordinates, "And you, you are my staff. You can solve your mistakes internally. When the police come, you can testify with me first and deal with this clearly before you accept punishment."


    Ye zhiqiao''s decisive decision really surprised gu chengyan and shen monong.


    It had to be said that from a fair standpoint, it was reasonable for ye zhiqiao to make such a decision without knowing the cause and effect. She not only protected her and the company''s legitimate rights and interests, but also set rules for the company''s staff and the outside world.


    However, both gu chengyan and shen monong had their own schemes, and when they thought about the significance of ye zhiqiao''s decision, they would be biased.


    Gu chengyan thought that ye zhiqiao deliberately let shen monong, the "One of us," be wronged in order to win people''s hearts, which was a very scheming performance.


    But shen monong thought that ye zhiqiao was a better person after she became a manager. Because from gu chengyan''s words just now, she could easily see that gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao did not have a good relationship, but in this case, ye zhiqiao actually knew to protect his subordinates and fight against outsiders with his subordinates who had a bad relationship.


    In the face of an unpredictable "Scheming" person, people who think they are smart often choose to take a step back and wait.


    Thus, gu chengyan and shen monong both opened their mouths at almost the same time to express that everything just now was just a misunderstanding and could be reconciled with each other.


    Their attitudes changed so quickly that ye zhiqiao was worried and asked again to confirm, "Really? You can handle it yourself. You don''t need my help?"


    "No need, no need..." Gu chengyan waved his hand repeatedly and said with an awkward smile, "I''m sorry, Mr. Ye. I''ve caused you trouble again. I''ll pay attention in the future. This time, you''ll give me a chance to change, okay? After I go down, I will communicate with this miss shen and there will be no more problems."


    Shen mo nong also followed her words and said, "Yes, I''m sorry for smashing your office. If you report the loss to me, I will compensate you as much as I can. This is a small matter, or don''t alarm unnecessary people, Zhiqiao, don''t you think?"


    She purposely said this to remind ye zhiqiao not to tell gu mohan or shen Qingyuan about it. After all, she had just been released. If shen Qingyuan knew that she was in trouble, she might ban her foot.


    In fact, now she began to regret that she had quarreled with others for the sake of a moment of happiness. Although ye zhiqiao and the people around her were very disgusting, she could still bear it.


    "Are you really okay?" Seeing that the two of them were more sincere, ye zhiqiao also did not mean to be embarrassed, so she agreed, "Well, you can solve it in private, but you must pay attention to the image in the company, don''t make a noise and affect others. And... If something like that happens again, I''ll call the police."


    Looking around the two with slightly warning eyes, ye zhiqiao exhaled helplessly and turned back to her office.


    Five minutes later, outside the gu group building.


    Shen molong held his arm and looked askance at gu chengyan, "All right? This is no longer the gu family''s territory. If you need anything, just tell me."


    After leaving ye zhiqiao''s line of sight, shen mo nong returned to that arrogant posture. Gu chengyan''s heart was also on fire, and he could not fire at ye zhiqiao, just in time to vent his anger on shen mo nong.


    So gu chengyan snorted and deliberately sighed and mocked, "Ouch, you''re still trying to get close to others. Zhiqiaozhi calls you really close. But what happened? They didn''t give you a single look, and they almost sent you to the police station."


    She walked up to shen mo and stared into her eyes, "You want to be his grandson, but did he treat you as his own?"

 Chapter 387 Gu Chengyan Was Beaten

    Gu chengyan''s bright red lipstick lips closed before his eyes, and the words he said made people want to tear them apart.


    She misunderstood that shen mo nong was ye zhiqiao''s person, so she used this to mock shen mo nong for not being able to control ye zhiqiao''s heart, but in shen mo nong''s opinion, gu chengyan was deliberately abusing, so his face darkened instantly.


    "Gu chengyan, keep your mouth shut and say one more word, do you believe that I will show you a good look?!"


    "Show me?" Gu chengyan''s eyes widened in exaggeration, and he pointed his back at himself, then the flowers trembled with laughter.


    Hmph, in the company, she was more or less afraid of the impact, and there was room for argument. Now that the two of them were outside the company, no one could care, she would let shen monong take advantage of it!


    Gu chengyan raised his chin and glared at shen monong provocatively, "Okay. Why don''t you try? I''ll see what you can do. By the way, I just heard them say that you seem to be a small actor. Speaking of which, I''ve never had a fight with a star. Shall we try?"


    Gu chengyan raised his eyebrows and tilted the corner of his mouth as if he were a rogue or a rogue. Shen monong was also a person who walked in the upper class. He had never seen such a shrew in the city before. He was so angry that his face turned red and he pointed at gu chengyan angrily. "Do you deserve to be on the same level as me?" You don''t have to look at yourself first. You''re a poor worker, and you have the face to yell at me!"


    "What''s wrong with working? It''s also a serious business. It''s not as messy as the circle in which miss shen lives. Besides sleeping with her, it''s just selling her seat. It''s disgusting." Gu chengyan purposely reached out and fanned his nose, as if he really smelled something bad.


    Shen mo nong''s chest fell together, his fists clenched tightly, and his silver teeth were about to break. She had been protected by shen Qingyuan since she entered the circle. Although she was not popular, she had never been wronged. She had never been involved in those disgusting things.


    Seeing that her face was full of disapproval, gu chengyan pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, "Stop pretending. There are no cameras here. I don''t have time to dig up your dark history like a paparazzi. I just want you to know who the really dirty, lowly, and dishonest person is!"


    "You''re filthy and lowly!" Shen monong was completely angered and took a fierce step forward, almost bumping into gu chengyan.


    Gu chengyan looked at her with a teasing smile and his eyes were filled with mockery, "Hehe... What? Want to fight? Then come on, I''m confident that you won''t be able to leave the house for two months!"


    "You... You... You are too much of a bully!"


    Shen mo could not argue as loudly as gu chengyan, nor was he as imposing as the other party. When he was so angry that he was dizzy, he suddenly remembered that he had another hand to prepare.


    When she came to look for ye zhiqiao just now, she was afraid of being bullied in ye zhiqiao''s territory, so she specially asked someone to help hire a group of thugs in case of emergency.


    Originally, she thought that gu chengyan was just a small person, so it was okay to quarrel, but gu chengyan went too far and said more and more unpleasant words, so now she changed her mind and decided to teach gu chengyan a lesson!


    So, she pointed at gu chengyan and reminded him, "Okay, gu, you are so good. If you have the ability, just stand here and don''t move!" After that, she took out her cell phone and angrily summoned the hitman who had been hiding in the dark.


    Gu chengyan stood next to her and listened to her call clearly. At that time, his heart trembled and he felt that something was wrong.


    Shen munong was naturally easy to deal with alone, and gu chengyan could deal with her effortlessly, but if shen munong''s help arrived, the situation would be completely reversed.


    No matter how powerful gu chengyan was, he was only a woman, and he must have suffered a loss. But if he escaped now, wouldn''t it make shen monong laugh his teeth off?


    Gu chengyan looked flustered. Seeing that shen monong''s helper had not arrived, he hurriedly walked a few steps away and took out his cell phone.


    She was going to call Li Qian and ask Li Qian for help. Because Li Qian was in the gu building, he could get there in the shortest time possible.


    "Beep... Beep... Your phone is turned off. Please call again later..."


    Is it off?!


    Gu chengyan raised his phone in disbelief and confirmed that she had just dialed Li Qian''s number before dialing it again.


    Or turn off your phone!!!


    Gu chengyan was both anxious and scared. A layer of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, and his palms were wet. However, Li Qian, who had been on the phone 24 hours a day, did not know what was going on today, and the phone was not working.


    Just as gu chengyan shuddered and slid his fingers across the screen, ready to ask bai zixuan for help, shen monong had unknowingly come behind her.


    "Haven''t found anyone yet?" !!!


    The sudden ghostly voice made gu chengyan shudder. She raised her head slowly and mechanically, only to see a few men in black surrounding her.


    Shen molong was very satisfied with her shrinking expression at this time, so he "Generously" told the men, "No matter how they say it is a woman, don''t be too heavy, just give them a lesson."


    "Shen munong!" Gu chengyan shouted, then realized his situation and lowered his voice, "Don''t go too far. If we have a conflict, we can settle it fairly. What are you... Doing this?"


    Shen mo nong shook her head in amusement, approached her, and said word by word, "This is how I want to punish you. Do you have a way?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, shen mo nong stepped back and waved his hand. The men were ordered to quickly move closer to gu chengyan. Soon, the skinny gu chengyan was drowned in a group of 1.8 meters of men.


    "Ah!!"


    "Let me go! Help!"


    "My hand... My hand is about to break... Don''t hit my face... Stop..."


    "Bastard! Bastard! Damn shen munong! You guys... Uh..."


    ...


    Gu chengyan''s voice of sobbing and scolding gradually changed from the initial intense and high-pitched voice to a calm and dead silence. Shen monong had been listening to the movement, and when he saw it, he signaled the men to stop.


    Then she walked slowly to gu chengyan''s side and squatted down. She raised the corner of her lips and smiled with great satisfaction, "See, this is the consequence of offending me. You must remember better. You should take a detour when you see me in the future. Otherwise, I can''t guarantee that this will never happen again."


    With that, she chuckled, got up and slowly walked away with the men, leaving gu chengyan alone on the ground.


    It was noon, and the blazing sun was overhead, and the tar floor was scorching hot. Even wearing leather shoes, one could feel the heat in the soles of one''s feet.

 Chapter 388 Lose All Face

    Gu chengyan was still lying on the ground, trying to get up, but she couldn''t hold herself up. Everywhere in her body ached, as if she had been skinned and torn apart. Her skin that touched the ground was tingling with heat. She even felt like a dead fish lying on a pan.


    "Oh my god! Cheng yan?"


    An exclamation came from not far away, followed by anxious footsteps.


    Gu chengyan narrowed his eyes and saw li qian running towards her in a daze.


    "Chengyan? How are you, chengyan?" Li Qian knelt down beside her and asked anxiously, trying to lift her up.


    Suddenly moved, gu chengyan felt a sharp pain, even breathing carefully, for fear of being implicated in the wound on his body. Her whole face was tightly wrinkled, and she couldn''t lift her strength when she spoke, "Why don''t you answer the phone?"


    "Ah?" Li Qian was stunned, then touched his pocket and suddenly realized, "Did you call me? I''m so sorry, chengyan. I accidentally dropped my phone and turned it off. I was just about to get it fixed after work."


    ... Really? Gu chengyan asked subconsciously, but she was in great pain and did not doubt Li Qian''s words.


    Li Qian turned his eyes and nodded, "Yeah, I''m really sorry. You brought me here just to ask me for help, but at the most critical moment, I made such a big mistake and hurt you. It''s all my fault. You... How do you feel now? Can you stand up?"


    Gu chengyan shook his head weakly and spoke again after a long time, "Take me... To the hospital..."


    Li Qian looked at her carefully and saw that her clothes were covered in mud and footprints. Her bare arms and calves were covered in red and blue marks. It looked like she had been beaten up. She guessed that she might not be able to hold on any longer and agreed, "Okay, I''ll go back and drive. I''ll be back in two minutes. Sit here and wait for me."


    Gu chengyan blinked in response.


    Li Qian immediately got up and rushed to the parking lot.


    The place where gu chengyan was called happened to be in the open space beside the parking lot. Li Qian walked to the car and quickly turned around to take a look. Seeing that gu chengyan was still sitting there, he quietly took out his phone and smashed it heavily on the stone pillar beside him.


    The full-screen phone, after being hit by an external force, immediately produced a cobweb like crack, and climbed the entire screen at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Until then, the phone had been intact.


    Li qian lied to gu chengyan. It wasn''t because her phone was broken that she didn''t receive gu chengyan''s call for help. In fact, she had seen the whole process long ago when gu chengyan and shen monong quarreled in the manager''s office. After that, ye zhiqiao let them go. She always felt that with their personalities, they would not stop, so she followed them out of the gu building and hid in the shadows to observe the situation.


    When she saw gu chengyan calling, she subconsciously realized that gu chengyan might have called her. She immediately turned off the phone and watched gu chengyan turn around like an ant on a hot pot. Then, she was beaten up by shen monong''s men into this.


    Although gu chengyan looked miserable now, those people deserved to be punished.


    Li Qian had no sympathy for gu chengyan, but was afraid that she would suspect him later, so he took the opportunity to take the car to break the phone, to prevent her from suddenly thinking of verification.


    Li Qian then sent gu chengyan to the hospital and left early in the name of fixing his cell phone, leaving gu chengyan alone in the ward.


    In fact, gu chengyan''s injuries were all skin wounds, and the pain was intense but not serious. She did not need to be hospitalized at all, but she called for leave and huddled in the ward, refusing to leave.


    There was only one reason she did this, and that was - it was so embarrassing!


    She had lost all face when she was beaten at the door of her own company. Although there were not many people who passed by their positions at that time, they would definitely be seen. Those people in the company would not be brave enough to do justice, but they were all good at spreading gossip. By then, it would spread like wildfire. The news that she was beaten might become a new round of talks within the company, and she could not afford to lose that person!


    However, gu chengyan was not a coward. She could never be obedient after being beaten once. She had to retaliate against those who had harmed her and let them suffer more and more pain!


    In the current situation, it would be impossible for her to hire someone to settle accounts with shen monong. First, she was injured and had difficulty moving. Second, shen monong was not a soft object. Ordinary people could not deal with it. After thinking about it, she finally pinned her hopes on su yanbai, who had just confirmed the partnership.


    Su yanbai was the eldest daughter of the su group, so it would be easy to deal with a minor star like shen monong.


    Gu chengyan could not help but laugh grimly at the thought of shen monong kneeling on his knees begging for mercy, his finely made-up face bruised and bruised.


    She smiled as she took out her phone and dialed su yanbai''s number.


    "Hello? Who is it?!" Su yanbai''s voice was vague, as if she could not open her mouth, and her voice was also a little impatient.


    Gu chengyan put away his smile. Although su yanbai could not see it, he put on a flattering face and said softly, "Miss su, I am chengyan. Do you have time now? I have something I need your help with."


    "Gu chengyan." Su yanbai gave an angry "Ouch," then said, "I''m putting on a mask. If you have something to say, I''ll hang up!"


    From the moment su yanbai took the initiative to find gu chengyan to ask for cooperation, she had always been a superior attitude. Gu chengyan was used to it, but he was not unhappy. She continued to ask nicely, "Wait a minute, miss su. It''s very important. Can you listen to me first?"


    "...


    Su yanbai did not make a sound, but gu chengyan knew she was listening, so he sped up his voice and said, "Miss su, a woman named shen monong suddenly came to the company to look for ye zhiqiao today, but there were some accidents in the middle, which caused me to have a big fight with her. After that, she actually asked someone to... Call someone to beat me... I have never been so angry, so I hope you can help me and teach her a lesson. I..."


    "You got beaten up and asked me to help you?" Before she could finish, su yanbai interrupted in surprise.


    Embarrassed, gu chengyan bit his lip and whispered, "Yes, I hope you can help me. I will be very grateful to you. In the future... Hello?"

 Chapter 389 Equivalent Exchange

    "Dudu, dudu -"


    "Hello?! Miss su? Su yanbai?!!"


    "Dudu, dudu -"


    Gu chengyan took his phone away from his ear and let out the "Beep" sound from the receiver, which was exceptionally clear in the silent ward.


    She had long thought that su yanbai might not help her. Making this call was just a gamble, but she still failed. But even if su yanbai didn''t want to help now, she couldn''t give up because she still had a card to play.


    She was confident that she could persuade su yanbai!


    The su family mansion.


    The doorbell rang a few times, followed by a small conversation. Su yanbai, who was sitting by the french window in the living room, was disturbed. She raised her voice in annoyance and asked, "Who is it?!"


    The servant then came in, bent down and said respectfully, "Miss, a miss named gu is looking for you. Do you have time now?"


    Miss gu?


    "Gu chengyan?" Su yanbai picked up a shredded squid from a plate on the floor and asked casually.


    "Yes."


    Su yanbai sighed helplessly, put down the computer in her hand and stood up, "Then let her in."


    When gu chengyan entered the living room under the guidance of the servant, su yanbai was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. When she saw her come in, she did not greet her and just focused on flipping through the magazine in her hand.


    Gu chengyan sat down and smiled, "Miss su, I''m sorry to bother you."


    "Yeah." Su yanbai replied perfunctorily, as if she really felt that gu chengyan was "Disturbing."


    Gu chengyan had expected this to happen, but he still took the tea from the servant with an air of composure. After the servant left, he continued, "Miss su, you should already know what I came for. I wonder if you can... Help me this time? If you are willing, I will be very grateful to you. I will cooperate with you in the future."


    Finally, it was time to get to the point.


    Su yanbai nodded, but her lips curved without a smile. She asked coldly, "Do you still know that we are working together? Do you remember what we worked together?"


    Gu chengyan was stunned and then replied, "Cooperate with ye zhiqiao."


    "That''s it!" Su yanbai raised an eyebrow, relaxed and sank into the sofa, her two white feet crisscrossing the coffee table, her whole body mocking gu chengyan for not knowing.


    "Since we are working together to deal with ye zhiqiao, why don''t you bother me with other things? Is it because I took the initiative to find you that you really take yourself for granted?" Su yanbai picked up a tray of snacks and finally picked out a piece of chocolate to take a bite. As she chewed, she continued, "I would have dealt with her the same way without you. I just heard that you had something to do with her and knew her better. That''s why I found you. Do you understand?"


    Without interest, su yanbai certainly did not need to help, which gu chengyan knew very well.


    But now that she''s here, there must be something she can do to make su yan bai happy.


    Gu chengyan lowered his head and said, "Miss su is right, but... If I introduce a friend to you, can you do me a favor for the sake of that friend?"


    Friends?


    "What friend?" Su yanbai, intrigued by her words, sat up and asked.


    Gu chengyan smiled and slowly uttered three words.


    "Bai, zi, xuan."


    Su yanbai frowned and searched the name carefully in her mind, but although it sounded familiar, she didn''t remember who it was for a long time.


    Gu chengyan reminded him at the right time, "Bai zixuan, ye zhiqiao''s ex-boyfriend, was her favorite lover when she was young. If it weren''t for an accident at that time, ye zhiqiao would have married this man."


    Gu chengyan reminded su yanbai of the name she had heard from a private investigator.


    She had already sent someone to investigate ye zhiqiao, and she knew a little about what happened before ye zhiqiao, and she also knew what position bai zixuan held in ye zhiqiao''s life.


    First love, and childhood sweethearts, must be extraordinary.


    Su yanbai was really interested in bai zixuan, so she asked gu chengyan, "You mean, you found this person?"


    Su yanbai''s reaction was just as gu chengyan expected. She nodded confidently and said, "Of course, my relationship with him... Is very deep."


    "Very close." This is a very ambiguous adjective, causing people to daydream. However, su yanbai did not care about the relationship between bai zixuan and gu chengyan. All she wanted was to hold onto ye zhiqiao''s chips.


    So she asked happily, "Did I help you teach shen monong a lesson and you will give me bai zixuan''s contact information?"


    One thing for another, equal price exchange, mutual benefit and win-win.


    Gu chengyan smiled and said, "That''s right."


    "Very well, that''s settled."


    The two of them hit it off immediately. After the agreement, su yanbai dressed up and left the house. She took the bodyguards at home and prepared to teach shen monong a lesson.


    Shen molong was a public figure after all, and with su yanbai''s connections, it was easy to find her whereabouts.


    When su yanbai brought a few strong men to the restaurant where shen molong had his afternoon tea, shen molong had just paid to leave.


    The two of them bumped into each other at the entrance of the restaurant. After gu mohan''s yacht was injured in a storm and hospitalized, it was the first time they had a head-on confrontation in the ward. Both of them stared at each other and refused to give in. In the end, the waiter at the restaurant saw that something was wrong and discussed what the two grandmothers had to do before going out to settle it.


    Su yanbai and shen monong were both big families and did not want to lose their cool in the crowd, so they went to the entrance next to the restaurant where few people passed.


    In the last fight, su yanbai suffered a little because of shen Qingyuan''s presence, but this time, shen monong was weak and su yanbai had a few more helpers. Her aura immediately grew stronger and her voice became much calmer.


    "Shen monong, we meet again. We are really destined."


    Originally, she thought that shen moqiang would be frightened by the existence of the big men in front of her, but she didn''t want to hear su yanbai''s words and just sneer. She deliberately asked, "Who are you? Why don''t I remember we met? Oh, maybe I''ve met too many people, and many of them are beautiful and elegant beauties. I don''t remember people like you who can''t get on the stage."


    "You!"


    Su yanbai relied on her own help. Originally, she wanted to give shen monong a hard time, but she didn''t want to be defeated by the other party.

 Chapter 390 Photo

    Shen mo nong sneered at the sight and glanced sideways at the men next to him. Finally, his eyes fell on su yan bai, who had an angry look on his face, and he asked indifferently, "What''s wrong? What are you looking for me for? I still have to go back to the production team to film later, but I don''t have time to keep reminiscing with you here."


    "Do you think I want to keep looking at your old face?" Su yanbai stuck her neck back and asked, "I heard you got someone to beat gu chengyan, right?"


    Gu chengyan?


    Hearing the name, shen monong reflexively frowned. After a moment of thought, he could not help but shake his head and chuckle. He thought, "Good gu chengyan. He was dishonest just after he was beaten. He turned around and found a helper to avenge him. It seems that the injury was not serious enough and not painful enough!"


    However, it was a fight. Although shen monong was weak now, he would never be a shrinking turtle.


    She immediately admitted, "It''s me, okay? Do you want to stand up for her? Tsk! I really didn''t expect that the elegant miss su would become someone else''s thug. Is it because your su family can''t stand it anymore? Are you going to change careers?"


    He was so stubborn when he was dying!


    Su yanbai cursed in her heart, and her eyes darkened, "Shen monong, mind your mouth. I can guarantee that in ten minutes, you will regret what you said now."


    As soon as su yanbai''s voice fell, several men around them immediately moved and moved towards shen monong.


    The scene was exactly the same as it was two hours ago. The only difference was that the person who was surrounded was gu chengyan, who was scared out of his wits, and now shen monong, who was calm and collected.


    Shen mo nong was not a decent rich daughter. Back then, when she had not met shen Qingyuan and lived with her mother, she was always bullied because of family reasons. The hooligans in the streets often surrounded her after school, sometimes beating and scolding her, sometimes touching her feet. At first, she was afraid and cried for mercy, but then she gradually realized that it was pointless to do so. It would only lead to more bullying.


    So when she was bullied again, she forced herself not to cry, not to be afraid, but to fight back with all her strength, even if her head was broken and bleeding, she would pull the other party on the back.


    The same thing had happened countless times, so now when she saw su yanbai''s threat, she only found it funny.


    So what if you can''t fight? At worst, it''s just an injury. But she had to overpower her opponent.


    "Su yanbai, I''m not interested in the reason why you want to avenge someone and be their lackey, but if you want to show your loyalty, you''d better find someone else. I won''t fight with you, because you... Don''t deserve it."


    Shen mo long stretched out his hand and shook it gently in front of su yan bai''s eyes, full of contempt and disdain.


    "What did you say? I don''t deserve it?" Su yan bai stared at her in surprise and asked in a raised voice, "Are you afraid and making excuses on purpose?"


    "Che -" shen mo nong shook her head helplessly, fiddling with her pale fingers and slowly saying, "Stop being so sentimental. I''m afraid of you? What a joke! To tell you the truth, I beat gu chengyan today not only because she didn''t have eyes that irritated me, but also because she was ye zhiqiao''s person and ye zhiqiao was my real opponent."


    Because she liked gu mohan and the person next to gu Mohan was ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao was her opponent and worthy to be her opponent.


    Apart from ye zhiqiao, she didn''t care about anyone else at all.


    Su yanbai was not sure that shen mo nong liked gu mo han. They did not know each other before, but they met by chance in gu mo han''s ward. It was that encounter that made su yanbai vaguely feel shen mo nong''s thoughts about gu mo han.


    What shen mo nong said just now undoubtedly confirmed su yan bai''s guess, but she said that only ye zhi qiao was worthy to be her opponent, which made su yan bai very unhappy.


    Shen molong meant, as if gu mohan really liked ye zhiqiao, as if gu mohan was not ye zhiqiao, but in fact, su yanbai was gu mohan''s rightful fiancee. According to the agreement between the two elders, they should be married now!


    So su yanbai said angrily, "Don''t talk nonsense! What is ye zhi coincidentally? If you are interested in brother gu, then your opponent should be me, because I have an engagement with brother gu, and he and I are the real couple!"


    "You have an engagement with gu mohan?"


    Shen mosheng was stunned, and the expression on his face froze instantly. His sparkling eyes were filled with shock and suspicion.


    Just as su yanbai was about to smile smugly and explain the origin of the su and gu families, a chuckle suddenly came from the opposite side.


    "Poof -"


    Shen monong covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other. She laughed like she heard a joke and shuddered. From time to time, she let out a "Ouch" as if she could not breathe.


    It wasn''t until su yan''s pale face turned from pig liver to iron green that she finally stopped laughing and sighed, "Ah... Little sister, did you watch too many idol dramas and get paranoia? Still engaged, what era do you think it is now, the last century? Besides, even if there was an engagement, did gu mohan agree? If gu mohan wanted to marry you, he would have been married a long time ago, but the person next to him now is ye zhiqiao!"


    Shen monong did not believe her at all. All the surprises just now were deliberately made to mock her.


    Knowing that she had been tricked, su yanbai was even more furious.


    Although gu mohan did not intend to fulfill the engagement with her, she believed that it was only temporary. One day, gu mohan would definitely see her good and abandon ye zhiqiao that woman!


    She had absolute confidence in herself and would never allow anyone to look down on her!


    So she quickly found her cell phone, clicked into the photo album, took out a photo and handed it to shen monong.


    In order to let shen monong see clearly, she almost took a picture of her phone on her face.


    Shen mo nong flashed back discontentedly. She wanted to take the phone but was turned away by su yan bai. She could not help but cut it and said, "What good thing is it? It''s hidden so tightly. Can I show you it?"!"


    As she spoke, the moment she saw the photo, she froze.


    It''s not the kind of surprise that I pretended to be, but the real... Shock!


    Because in the photo in front of him, there were two figures snuggling together, one was gu mohan, the other was su yanbai...


    Gu mohan and su yanbai nestled on the sofa of the gu family mansion. Although they could not see their expressions clearly, their movements were full of intimacy, and they really looked like lovers in love.

 Chapter 391 Color Her Face

    Su yanbai could not help but chuckle when she saw shen monong''s reaction. She did not expect that the original impulse would come in handy today. This time, this stupid woman, shen monong, could not believe it.


    Speaking of where the photos came from, it was really an accident.


    That day, su yanbai went to the gu family mansion as a guest. Coincidentally, gu mohan was called home by his father. Although gu mohan still loved her and ignored her, he had to be patient to sit with the guests because of his parents.


    The two of them were sitting in the living room. Su yanbai saw that gu mohan was only reading the newspaper, so she called his mother to wait in the distance with a camera. Then she rushed to gu mohan and leaned her head against his shoulder. Her hands were still tightly wrapped around his waist...


    Mother gu''s fear technique was very good. Gu mohan did not take any photos of his anger after he realized it. Only the intimate positions of the two of them were shown in the photos.


    Even if ye zhi happened to look at this photo, she would probably believe it, let alone shen monong.


    Sure enough, after the initial shock, shen mo thick''s expression immediately became ferocious, and his initial calm was completely gone. He gritted his teeth as if he was about to lose his mind.


    The man he liked was so close to other women that most people would get angry at him, let alone a woman like shen mo long who had to find a way to get what she wanted.


    Su yanbai had a photo, didn''t she? Then she must be destroyed!


    Shen monong tightened her body, and with a sudden force on her leg, she rushed towards su yanbai''s cell phone.


    "Ah!!"


    Su yanbai couldn''t react and was frightened by her sudden attack. Fortunately, the people she brought with her were trained bodyguards. She managed to control shen molong alone before shen molong got close to her.


    Despite being held down by two strong men on his shoulders, shen mo nong struggled with all his might, his eyes burning with fire, wishing he could burn su yan bai and her damn phone to ashes.


    Su yanbai was shocked and angry, and her face darkened. In addition, shen moqiangxiao wanted gu mohan and even destroyed the only photo of her and gu mohan. She was even more furious.


    So she waved her hand and said in a hateful voice, "Hit me! He beat her to beg for mercy and never dared to daydream again!!"


    When the bodyguards received her order, they immediately pushed shen monong to the ground and surrounded him with punches and kicks.


    However, shen monong gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat. Facing a group of men with arms thicker than her waist, she kept fighting back and even tried to get up and rush to su yanbai again.


    Su yanbai stood on the side with her waist crossed, staring coldly at shen monong, who had been dragged back, with a sinister gaze.


    That''s right, this is the end of offending her, this is the end of stealing Mohan from her!


    Whether it was shen mo long or ye zhi qiao, as long as it was the woman around gu mo han, she would clean up one by one.


    This time, shen moshen bumped into the door and finished cleaning up shen moshen. She could immediately contact bai zixuan. With the help of bai zixuan, ye zhiqiao would be cleaned up by her soon. When the two women disappeared from gu mohan''s life, it was the day that she and gu mohan fulfilled their engagement!


    "Ha ha... Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha..."


    Imagining that she was wearing a white dress to marry gu mohan, su yanbai burst out laughing, reminding the bodyguards who were waving their fists, "Give me some strength. Didn''t you hear that they were going to film? Color her face properly and save on makeup!"


    The su family''s bodyguards carried out their superiors'' orders dutifully. Within a few minutes, shen monong, who had fallen to the ground, had stopped moving and looked like a puddle of mud.


    If it weren''t for the heaving of her chest, su yanbai would have thought she had been killed.


    "Yes, very well." Su yanbai praised the bodyguards with satisfaction, then kicked shen mo on his thick legs without letting go of his hatred, then left with his head held high in his bag.


    After su yanbai and the others left, the passers-by kindly dialed the emergency call. 120 came all the way with the sound of an alarm, carried shen monong to the car and left with the sound of an alarm. It was not until the road was calm again that the man sitting near the coffee shop window for a long time got up and walked out of the shop.


    "President gu, here."


    The assistant behind him pointed to a bright red blood stain on the flagstone road to remind gu mohan.


    Gu mohan followed his gaze and nodded calmly, then turned to look at the bright red sky in the distance where the fire clouds were rising.


    "Have you checked?"


    After discovering that su yanbai and shen molong were fighting here, gu mohan immediately rushed over with his assistant, and asked his assistant to take photos of the people and cars present for investigation, to see when Xiaorui had an accident and ye zhiqiao had an accident. Did the same person or car appear?


    However, the results of the investigation did not seem ideal. The assistant lowered her head apologetically and said, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. I checked the origins of the men and the whereabouts of the last few months, but I didn''t find anything unusual. There were also those cars, and I didn''t find anything."


    Nothing was found...


    Gu mohan closed his eyes in disappointment. When he opened them again, a suspicious look appeared in his dark red eyes.


    Ever since he heard su yanbai say gu chengyan''s name in ktv, gu mohan became suspicious of su yanbai and sent people to follow her day and night, trying to find evidence of her collusion with gu chengyan.


    In addition, gu mohan even suspected that Xiaorui was killed in the car accident and that ye zhiqiao''s last accident had something to do with su yanbai.


    But now it seems that things are going a little strange.


    Could it be that he made a mistake... In which part?


    The setting sun in the distance was about to completely disappear into the dark red clouds, and the whole city would usher in a deep darkness. In the darkness, how to find the light, can you still find it?


    "All right, there''s no need to follow. You all go back and rest. I will reward you for today''s events."


    Su yanbai dismissed the bodyguards and walked into the restaurant that gu chengyan had arranged to meet alone. Gu chengyan seemed to have been waiting for half a day and there was not a single portion of the food on the table. However, she was in a good mood and couldn''t stop smiling.


    "Miss su, I''ve seen all the photos you sent over by the bodyguards. They''ve done a great job. I don''t think shen monong will be able to see anyone for the next month." Gu chengyan praised with a smile.


    Su yanbai replied indifferently and reminded, "Don''t underestimate the current beauty and makeup techniques."

 Chapter 392 Very Well

    "Oh, that''s right, that''s right." Gu chengyan echoed a few words, then gestured to the food on the table with his eyes and said politely, "Then... Would miss su like to have something to eat? You must be too busy to have dinner now, right?"


    Su yanbai glanced at the "Leftovers" on the table and snorted.


    It was always the food that miss su had eaten for the servants. When had she ever eaten anything that someone else touched?


    Seeing her dislike, gu chengyan hurriedly flattered, "Why don''t I order another one? This one tastes good. Try it?"


    "Forget it. If I want to taste it, I can ask my father to buy this restaurant." With a sense of superiority, su yanbai pushed the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and said, "Okay, I''ve done what you asked for. Should I fulfill what you promised me?"


    Didn''t she promise to contact bai zixuan? Isn''t that simple?


    "Okay, let''s talk about it." Gu chengyan agreed, took out his cell phone and made a phone call to bai zixuan.


    "...


    After a long silence, su yanbai saw the confusion on gu chengyan''s originally confident face. Then she took her phone away from her ear, clicked it again on the screen, and put it next to her ear.


    Another silence.


    "What''s the matter?" When gu chengyan took the phone down for the third time, su yanbai finally couldn''t bear to ask.


    "Oh... He..." Gu chengyan looked embarrassed and stammered, "He didn''t answer the phone. His phone was turned off. Maybe... Maybe something happened."


    Hearing this, su yanbai raised her eyebrows and said with a slanted eye, "What''s the matter? You''re not lying to me, are you?"


    Seeing su yanbai''s suspicions, gu chengyan quickly explained, "No, no, no... I didn''t lie to you. I''ve been in contact with him for a long time. He helped me come up with a lot of strategies to deal with ye zhiqiao. Now he''s just busy. Wait a minute. I''ll give you an answer tomorrow."


    Su yanbai picked up a glass and rubbed it against her palm for a while while while considering the authenticity of gu chengyan''s words.


    After a while, she put down her glass and stood up, "I trust you for the time being. It''s best not to lie to me."


    With that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the restaurant.


    Gu chengyan sat alone in his chair and called bai zixuan again, but it was still a cold, artificial voice prompt that said, "The other party''s phone is off."


    But there was one thing she was right about. Bai zixuan did turn off his phone because of something, because tonight, bai zixuan was going to talk to an important person about cooperation.


    Yi''s group building.


    It was past the end of the day, but the floor was still brightly lit. Yi''s had always respected the principle of selfless dedication to the development of the company working overtime, which bai zixuan had long known.


    Under the guidance of a curvy secretary, bai zixuan came to the president''s office of the Yi''s. Before entering the door, he did not forget to throw a wink at the heavily made-up secretary, causing the other party to blush.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    After tidying up his suit, bai zixuan straightened up and knocked on the carved solid wood door of the office.


    Then, yi shaozhi''s voice came from inside, "Come in."


    Bai zixuan pushed the door open and walked in. When he turned around and closed the door, he saw that yi shaozhi was still looking down at the documents and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Yi. I am bai zixuan. I am currently developing and operating a clothing design company. I would like you to take care of me for the first time."


    "...


    Yi shaozhi was still focused on reviewing the documents in front of him, as if he had not heard bai zixuan''s words.


    However, bai zixuan understood that he must have heard it. The reason why he ignored people was just a trick of their superiors, trying to give the newcomer a slap in the face to raise his own value.


    Bai zixuan knew his way well, but he did not expose it. Instead, he continued politely, "Mr. Yi is busy. Even after work, he has to deal with business. I am really sorry to disturb you at this time, but I do have something very important to discuss with you this time. I hope you can take some time out of your busy schedule and have the honor to listen to me."


    Perhaps he was happy to hear bai zixuan''s flattery. Yi shaozhi finally put down his pen and looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Oh! It''s Mr. Bai. Sit down."


    Although he was finally willing to deal with people, his attitude was still cold.


    Bai zixuan only had a small company in his hands, not even a single hair of the yi family. He knew how much he weighed, so naturally he did not dare to ask for yi shaozhi''s hospitality, so he sat down on the reception sofa, even without a cup of tea in front of him.


    "What''s the matter with Mr. Bai?" Yi shaozhi asked directly after sitting down.


    Bai zixuan smiled and nodded his head. He did not hesitate to explain his intention, "To be honest, I came here today to talk about cooperation with yi zongli."


    He took out two materials from his briefcase and placed them in front of yi shaozhi, "This is the company''s profile. I just said that I am running a clothing design company. It is not a big company, but the products are all fine products. So in business, I want to communicate and cooperate with the Yi''s."


    "You..." Yi shaozhi smiled with undisguised surprise.


    "Mr. Yi, please hear me out." Seeing that yi shaozhi wanted to say no, bai zixuan interrupted.


    "I know that with the current situation of my company and the Yi''s cooperation can be said to be high climbing, but if I have other weight, I don''t know if president yi can give me a chance."


    As he spoke, he picked up another document from the table, opened it and handed it to yi shaozhi, "This is my resume, or personal information. It contains all my experiences from childhood, including my relationship with ye zhiqiao, gu mohan and others."


    "Oh?" Yi shaozhi raised his eyebrows with interest and asked with a smile, "What does Mr. Bai mean?"


    Bai zixuan chuckled and shook his head, "Mr. Yi, we don''t speak in secret. In the past few months, all the fights between the Yi''s and the gu family have been seen by the insiders. I think I see it more clearly than most people, because after all, I know your opponent very well."


    He spoke slowly but bit hard, as if to tell yi shaozhi that if he could get his help, it would be easier to deal with gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    "Mr. Bai''s weight is indeed powerful."


    Yi shaozhi threw the information on the table, leaned back on the sofa, and pressed his temples wearily. Then he asked casually, "But what does this mean?"

 Chapter 393 Pay Attention to Equality

    What does that mean?


    Bai zixuan was stunned, as if he did not expect yi shaozhi to show such a disapproving attitude.


    Before this, he had never had any contact with yi shaozhi, only did some homework from the news and newspapers to get to know yi shaozhi. But in his heart, there was only one kind of businessman, that is, the interests first. Today, he brought considerable interests to seek cooperation, and yi shaozhi should have no reason not to agree, but... Now what is yi shaozhi''s reaction?


    Just as bai zixuan was trying to figure out what yi shaozhi was thinking, yi shaozhi had already lost interest in this conversation, so he sat up straight and straightened his sleeves, "Well, I''ve heard about Mr. Bai, and so has farmar. I still have a lot of work to do next, so... Hmm?"


    As he spoke, he had already stood up and made a "Please" gesture towards the door. The meaning of" going out" was obvious.


    Bai zixuan never expected him to be so disrespectful. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he maintained his basic courtesy and stood up and said, "Mr. Yi, you don''t want to cooperate. Can you tell me the reason? At least let me die to understand."


    "Hehe -" yi shaozhi seemed to have thought that he would ask this question. He smacked his lips and gave the answer without thinking, "Cooperation, whether it''s business or private, requires a balance..."


    He looked up and down at bai zixuan. Although he did not say anything unpleasant, the contempt in his eyes was not hidden.


    "Mr. Bai is a young and talented man, and he will certainly make great achievements in the future. But for now... It''s better to do your job well. Not everyone can do it in a single step. And if the Yi''s wants to deal with gu, it''s enough to do it on its own, without anyone else''s help."


    Under the bright white ceiling light, yi shaozhi stood tall and straight, his brows brimming with confidence and the unique arrogance of a successful person. He stood opposite bai zixuan as if the king of the forest was facing a weak antelope.


    "It turns out that you despise my lowly status." Bai zixuan chuckled, then changed back to his smiling face and took the initiative to extend his right hand, saying, "Since president yi is so confident, I won''t say anything more. Today''s short conversation has benefited a lot. I will work hard after I return, waiting for the next cooperation with president yi."


    Next cooperation?


    It was as if the two of them really had a chance to work together. The big Yi''s group and an unknown small design company? Heh!


    Yi shaozhi spat in his heart, then reached out his right hand to shake hands with bai zixuan and replied, "Yes, okay."


    At this point, bai zixuan''s mission today ended completely. Although he did not achieve his expected goal, he believed that it was only a matter of time. As long as gu mohan did not fall, he still had a chance to turn over.


    When he walked out of the Yi''s building, the sky was already completely dark, and a few less bright stars fell over the dark blue dome, illuminating the dull night.


    The streets were as brightly lit as usual, and the crowds were in twos and threes on a summer night, and the noise was no less than that of the day. In a hospital in the city center, there was an even more intense noise.


    Being beaten in the street and seriously injured in the hospital, the most important thing is that the scars on his face are horrible, which can be considered as a bruise on his face. As a small star with a small number of fans, it is a big deal.


    Shen monong naturally couldn''t accept it. After looking at herself in the mirror, she was crying her heart out. Even if her father, shen Qingyuan, had received the news so quickly, comforted and cajoled her, it didn''t work at all. In the end, the doctor had no choice. He said that if it went on like this, the injury might worsen and affect the rest of the other patients. So he gave her a tranquilizer and she finally calmed down a little.


    The dosage of the sedative was not high, and just as shen monong was half asleep and half awake, two figures suddenly appeared at the door of the ward.


    She must not have the strength to speak, but shen Qingyuan immediately got up and went up to meet her. His tired face was full of smiles, "President gu, miss ye, why are you here?"


    Gu mohan glanced in the direction of the bed, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your daughter is ill, so I came to visit her."


    "Thank you for the trouble, president gu. It''s really... It''s so late and I''m sorry to have you and miss ye come here specially..." Shen Qingyuan said gratefully.


    "President shen, you''re welcome." Ye zhiqiao smiled lightly and walked to shen Qingyuan''s bedside. After carefully observing for a moment, she turned to shen Qingyuan and said, "I heard that mo nong was injured. Mohan and I are worried. What did the doctor say? How long will it take to recover?"


    Shen Qingyuan pulled a chair for gu mohan and ye zhiqiao to sit down, then sat down beside the bed himself, tucked in the corner of the quilt for shen mohan, and tidied everything up before sighing and replying, "Oh, it''s not a light injury, but fortunately it didn''t hurt any important organs, but... You know, mo nong''s work requires a lot of looks, and suddenly, she can''t accept it for a while."


    Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked at shen mo''s heavily bandaged forehead and the bruised cheeks below, agreeing with shen Qingyuan.


    However, ye zhiqiao was still relieved for shen Qingyuan, "President shen, don''t worry too much. It''s all skin wounds. You can recover after a while. Mo nong''s body is the most important thing. Everything else will be fine."


    Shen Qingyuan didn''t know these things. He just looked at shen monong who was half dead. He was really upset.


    "Let me borrow your good words." He sighed again.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, her lips moved a few times and continued, "There''s one more thing... I have to apologize to you."


    Hmm?!


    Shen Qingyuan was stunned, "Apologize?"


    "Yes." Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at gu mohan beside her, then withdrew her gaze and said to shen Qingyuan, "In my office today, mo nong had an argument with one of my staff members. At that time, I didn''t know why mo nong was there, and they wouldn''t tell me why they quarreled. They only promised to settle privately, so I didn''t meddle."


    "But now it seems... Mo nong''s injury may have something to do with that argument." Ye zhiqiao looked down at shen monong, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and said hesitantly.


    Shen Qingyuan only came here after hearing that shen mo nong was injured, and he had been busy calming shen mo nong''s emotions ever since. As for the cause of her injury, he did not have time to ask, but since ye zhiqiao had said so, it should be very close.

 Chapter 394 Father and Daughter

    Because of his family, shen mo long''s character was not likable since he was young, and it was not too harsh. After arriving at his side, although he had a lot of support and protection, he could not take care of her all the time.


    Moreover, as his daughter grew older, it was inevitable that he, as a father, would be unable to reach for certain things. Over time, shen monong''s character became more and more tricky, and his possessiveness was also very strong. He had to get what he wanted, which had offended many people.


    Shen Qingyuan''s style was slick, but he was always helpless in terms of family.


    Seeing that shen Qingyuan''s face was low and did not speak for a long time, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan looked at each other and said again, "President shen, in any case, it was my staff who had a dispute with mo nong, and the location is in my office. I can''t blame this. I will pay close attention to this matter, including the medical expenses of mo nong, and I will bear it." !!!


    "No, no, no..."


    Shen Qingyuan was shocked and quickly refused, "It was mo nong who fought with others. How could miss ye take the responsibility? You''re killing shen."


    "But president shen..."


    "All right, all right, I appreciate miss ye''s kindness." Shen Qingyuan interrupted ye zhiqiao and shook her head, "It''s not a day''s cold to freeze three feet. It''s my fault that mo nong is like this today."


    "Ah - but, while I can still move and help her clean up the mess, it''s good to let her learn some lessons. People, they have to go through some things to grow up."


    Shen Qingyuan reached out his heavy hand and gently stroked shen monong''s cheek. Most of the previous shrewd and philistine men had disappeared, and most of them were the love of their daughter as a father.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to say something more. Gu mohan held down her hand on her lap at the right time and shook his head with a warm look in his eyes.


    Gu mohan was also a father. He knew that the things that a father needed to bring his daughter were different from his mother''s, so he could understand everything that ye zhiqiao could not understand.


    In such a peaceful night, fatherly love should not be disturbed.


    ...


    The next day, jian mengqi''s studio.


    Qin Baiye sat on the fabric sofa with his legs crossed. His face was heavy and his brows were frowning. Finally, he couldn''t help it. Finally, he raised his hand to interrupt the noisy jian mengqi and asked in a deep voice, "Are you... Crazy?" !!!


    "Who''s crazy? Who are you talking about?!" As soon as jian mengqi opened her eyes, her voice immediately rose.


    She was only asking Qin Baiye for a small favor, and Qin Baiye dared to say that about her. Who was crazy?!


    On the argument, Qin Baiye was definitely not her opponent, so she had to raise the white flag and surrender. She reluctantly softened her tone and asked again, "Mengqi, you... You left your studio alone and insisted on helping ye zhiqiao. Isn''t this... Isn''t this nonsense? Ye zhiqiao has Mohan to take care of her. Just take care of yourself. Can you stop messing things up?"


    "What did I do to make things worse?"


    When her ability was questioned, jian mengqi naturally resisted with an unconvinced look on her face, "I have even opened a branch office, and everything here is in order. Now that my friend is in trouble, can''t I go over and help? Besides, aren''t you still managing this place with a few of my right-hand men? Nothing will happen."


    "...


    Qin Baiye was so choked up by her that he was speechless that he glared and leaned back on the sofa.


    The cause of the matter was like this. Early this morning, jian mengqi summoned Qin Baiye, saying that she wanted to discuss life''s important matters.


    Qin Baiye was so happy that she thought miss jian was crazy enough to find someone to marry. As soon as she entered the room, she mysteriously pulled him over and insisted that he take care of the studio. Qin Baiye asked her why. She said she was going to work for the gu family for a while to help ye zhiqiao!


    What?!


    In this regard, miss jian said, "Ever since Zhiqiao became that lousy manager, I can''t eat or sleep. Who are the people in the gu family? I told you before, that''s a bunch of people who eat people without spitting out their bones! Zhiqiao has no heart and is always soft-hearted when things go wrong. If I put her in that den, I can''t rest assured. I have to accompany her for a period of time."


    Jian mengqi has always been single-minded. She must put what she thinks into practice. If she wants to turn back, she must hit the south wall first. Qin Baiye was well aware of this trait and did not dare to put too much emphasis on her words and argue a few words.


    In the end, she agreed to her request.


    So jian mengqi entrusted the studio to Qin Baiye and a few of her subordinates, and then ran to gu shi with a small bundle on her back.


    Who knew that ye zhi coincidentally had the same reaction as Qin Baiye when she learned of her plan.


    "Mengqi, are you... Crazy? How can you say that if you give it to someone else, you give it to someone else? No, I can''t keep you. Go back and do your own thing."


    Faced with ye zhiqiao''s accusation, jian mengqi''s small face wrinkled and "Tsk" said, "Why are you like that old man Qin Baiye? Am I the kind of irresponsible person? Don''t worry, I''ve already arranged the studio. There won''t be any mistakes. You''re the one who needs to worry about the most right now."


    She purposely spoke in a long voice. Ye zhiqiao was amused and helpless by her. She finally let her sit down and made her coffee. Then she asked, "Tell me, why did you suddenly decide to come?"


    Qin Baiye had asked the same question, but seemed to have to explain it to ye zhiqiao once.


    Jian mengqi drummed her lips and explained the cause and effect, "I came very suddenly, but this decision was not made suddenly, but after careful consideration."


    "From the first day you entered the gu family, I have been worried about your situation day and night. At that time, you were always in some small trouble, but it was barely solved. But now that you are a manager, there are many problems in front of you. There will definitely be times when you can''t handle them. Besides, there are always people hiding in the dark trying to hurt you. The higher you stand, the more obvious you are, and the easier it is for them to get to you."


    "That''s right!" Jian mengqi pointed back at the desk and continued angrily, "I heard that shen monong and gu chengyan were fighting in your office yesterday? What do you think gu''s security guards do for food? Let everyone in. Can I not worry about you?"


    Recently, ye zhiqiao had been busy with her work. Whether it was gu mohan, xiao bao or jian mengqi, she was a little careless. Now that she suddenly heard jian mengqi say this, she felt touched.

 Chapter 395 As Ye Yiyu

    "Thank you, mengqi." There are too many things to express, but when words are given, only gratitude is left.


    Jian mengqi waved her hand and rolled her eyes, "All right, stop this nonsense. I don''t care who cares about you. You have to thank buddha day and night for being such a good friend."


    "Yes, yes, yes, you''re right."


    Ye zhiqiao coaxed her into praising her like a child, then immediately called gu mohan and asked him to help arrange a position for jian mengqi and arrange for someone to take care of her.


    Although jian mengqi looked unreliable, her ability to work was still good, which could be seen from the studio she ran. Even in the talented gu family, she was more than enough to be a manager.


    However, jian mengqi was not so demanding, and she did not intend to stay here for too long, so she just needed a free job.


    When gu mohan heard of her purpose, he naturally supported her and immediately agreed to ye zhiqiao''s request. He repeatedly promised that he would send trusted men to take care of her.


    The position was easily settled, and between the waiting, jian mengqi started to chat with ye zhiqiao again.


    She hadn''t talked to ye zhiqiao for a long time, and she had a lot of questions about her work.


    For example, the most important thing about gu chengyan becoming a minister.


    "Hey Zhiqiao, aren''t you the manager already? Can''t you fire gu chengyan if you have power?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally peeled an apple for her to eat, and at the same time asked, "Why should I fire her? I just promoted her to minister."


    "What?! You, you, you..."


    Jian mengqi''s eyes widened and her cherry like mouth split into a bloody mouth.


    She was so worried about gu chengyan becoming a minister that she didn''t sleep well for several nights. She was afraid that gu chengyan would use his position to frame ye zhiqiao again. If Qin Baiye hadn''t stopped her, she would have found gu mohan and asked him to fire him.


    But ye zhiqiao just said that she was the one who promoted gu chengyan!


    "Why are you?" It took a long time for jian mengqi to accept this matter, and then she asked ye zhi qiao in puzzlement.


    Ye zhiqiao calmly took a sip of tea, tilted her head and said, "What should I say? In fact, I am still very confused about gu chengyan, because she used to do everything to harm me, but after coming to the gu family, she helped me a lot. I''m not a bad person, but if the other party has made a change, I don''t want to push people to the brink."


    Ye zhiqiao''s words were not profound. Jian mengqi could understand them, but she still had some questions.


    "So... You believe her? Did she really get better?"


    "It shouldn''t be possible to change for the better." From the way gu chengyan tried to win Li Ruonan over immediately after he refused to cooperate with her, gu chengyan was still as scheming as before, and he always wanted revenge.


    Ye zhiqiao thought for a moment, then said slowly, "I won''t trust her completely, but I can''t just suppress her. I don''t want to force her to have no way out. I want to give her a way out, and I want to give myself some leeway."


    In life, ye zhiqiao always had her own opinions, and most of the time she would not make mistakes. In this respect, jian mengqi trusted her and supported her, so she put away her worries and stopped talking.


    But there was one more thing.


    "Well then, I won''t interrupt if you handle your work so well, but I want to bring little treasure to the company, okay?"


    During this period of time, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were busy with their work, and jian mengqi was always busy with herself, so little treasure was always led by Qin Baiye, but Qin Baiye also had his own work, and he was always embarrassed to trouble him. Even if jian mengqi didn''t mention it, ye zhiqiao had already thought about it.


    Looking at the current situation, jian mengqi should stay at gu''s for a while and bring little treasure here. With her, jian mengqi and gu mohan taking care of her, it would be easier.


    Therefore, ye zhiqiao readily agreed, "Of course. I''ve troubled you and bai ye a while ago. When I''m done with my work, I''ll definitely treat you to dinner with gu mohan."


    "Just say it''s a treat!"


    Jian mengqi pretended to be angry and scolded her. Then she immediately asked, "Shall we have seafood then? I heard that the red hairy crab in a restaurant tastes especially good. How about that?"


    "Ah!" Ye zhiqiao looked down at her and sighed helplessly. Then she nodded her forehead and said in a long voice, "Okay."


    The morning that became especially "Surprised" because of the arrival of jian mengqi passed slowly in the midst of laughter and laughter. At the same time, in an inconspicuous coffee shop in the bustling city center, the atmosphere between the three people sitting opposite the leisure sofa was unusually serious.


    Gu chengyan and bai zixuan, who were sitting on the same side, looked at each other, then they both looked at the man in black opposite them, their eyes flashing with surprise and doubt.


    Even in gu chengyan''s eyes, there was an undeniable fear.


    Because today, she was not sitting here as gu chengyan, but as ye yiyu, whom she had not seen for a long time.


    The man in black had somehow managed to trace her through the hospital where ye yiyu was undergoing plastic surgery. All the hospitals had an obligation to protect the patient''s privacy, not to mention bai zixuan''s strict orders not to let any doctor or nurse divulge her personal information! But the man in black still found her and even made an invitation to her and bai zixuan, which showed that this man was powerful.


    This was also why gu chengyan risked her identity to come to the appointment, because she had to see the man with her own eyes and hear what the other party wanted to say in order to be at ease.


    Looking at the man for a long time, gu chengyan could not help but ask, "Who are you? Call us over... What do you want?"


    Perhaps because he was afraid, gu chengyan sounded unfriendly.


    But the man in black only held the corner of his mouth and said slowly in a slightly gruff voice, "Miss ye, you can care who I am, just like I won''t ask who miss ye is. I just have one thing to discuss with you two, success or failure. From now on, I will be a stranger in a sea of people and have nothing to do with each other."


    In a simple sentence, the first half of the sentence was so shocked that gu chengyan''s hands could not help trembling under the table. The second half, however, inexplicably comforted her.


    The man''s meaning was obvious. He knew the connection between ye yiyu and gu chengyan, but he had no mind and would not care.


    He had only one purpose.

 Chapter 396 A Cheng

    "What is it?" Bai zixuan listened to their conversation clearly and analyzed it clearly, so he took the initiative to bring the topic to business.


    In terms of iq, bai zixuan was much better than gu chengyan.


    The man in black raised his eyebrows with satisfaction when he heard bai zixuan''s question, then put the coffee cup in his hand lightly on the white porcelain plate, leaned back on the sofa, and continued to reply in that rough voice, "Cooperate."


    "I want to work with both of you to deal with gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. In the process, I will help you both the most. But I hope you don''t ask me why."


    With that said, the man raised his hand and hooked his ear under his thick black hair, his movements relaxed.


    Bai zixuan was still thinking about the deeper meaning of the man''s words, but gu chengyan could not help but ask excitedly, "Cooperate with ye zhiqiao?! Why? Why are you looking for us for something like this? Do you have a problem with ye zhiqiao?"


    Obviously, she completely forgot about the man''s last warning.


    The impatience in the black man''s eyes flashed, then he raised his lips and said in a deep voice, "Cooperate or not. Both of you give me an answer, and the rest please don''t ask."


    "...


    Gu chengyan choked and had no idea, so he subconsciously turned to look at bai zixuan.


    The expression on bai zixuan''s face was not very good either. He did not expect gu chengyan to experience so many things and still not have a long memory. He could never speak without thinking.


    But the man in black made this request, and he really needed time to think about it.


    The man in black seemed to see his dilemma, so he coughed and asked, "Mr. Bai, do you want to think about it for a while?"


    "Ah? Oh, yes." Bai zixuan was startled, then forced a smile.


    "Give him time."


    A crisp voice reached the man in black through the electric current. Then he raised his head slowly and said to bai zixuan''s eyes, "Well, please think about it slowly."


    The next moment, there was silence. The man raised his hand again and hooked his ear. If someone passed by him, they would notice that his right ear, which was covered by his black hair, was wearing a bluetooth headset that was close to the skin color.


    On the other end of the phone connected to the radio, su yanbai was sitting on the balcony of the villa, holding a glass of juice and overlooking the busy city in the distance.


    She sent the man in black.


    Ever since gu chengyan did not contact bai zixuan last night, she had been feeling awkward when she returned home, or rather, she did not believe gu chengyan from the bottom of her heart.


    She didn''t know what gu chengyan was capable of, but from the fact that he was beaten up by shen moshen, it seemed that gu chengyan was not capable at all, and she never liked to pin her hopes on others, let alone the useless gu chengyan.


    So she sent someone to investigate the relationship between ye zhiqiao and bai zixuan overnight. Not only did she find out how to contact bai zixuan, but she also found out a piece of news that she had never heard before - ye zhiqiao''s sister, ye yiyu, had been at odds with ye zhiqiao, and even took her brother-in-law, bai zixuan from ye zhiqiao!


    After that, in order to protect ye zhiqiao, gu mohan and ye yiyu, bai zixuan, had a festival.


    This way, the whole story sounds really interesting.


    She also heard that ye yiyu had committed a crime and was wanted by the police, but until now, there was still no trace. Su yanbai felt that this ye yiyu must have had the ability of someone, so she found the man in black through some secret relations, sent him to inquire about ye yiyu, and asked him to gather ye yiyu and bai zixuan together to discuss the cooperation against ye zhiqiao.


    The man''s methods were not bad. The task he received last night was to invite them out this morning. However, she was afraid that it would be too eye-catching. Instead of meeting them personally, su yanbai sent a man out.


    And considering her own safety, su yanbai didn''t plan to show up in the future. Anyway, this man''s work efficiency was good. She just needed to use a bluetooth headset to remotely control it, so that no matter whether it was successful or not, she could leave.


    Of course, she had a good idea, but it was because of this smart decision that she missed the chance to discover the truth.


    Ye yiyu and gu chengyan met the man she sent over, and she would never know.


    A refreshing breeze blew over the ridge, and the phone finally rang again.


    Bai zixuan took a big sip of the coffee before he stood up, then said with a deep look in his eyes, "This gentleman, you want to cooperate, but you don''t let us know anything about you. It''s unfair for us to trust you with just one sentence, right?"


    The meaning of his words seemed to be rejection, but the man knew that he was already tempted.


    So the man smiled, took out a bank card from his pocket, and pushed it in front of the two of them, "The name doesn''t matter. You can call me ah cheng, but to prove my sincerity, you should keep the hundred thousand yuan here, which is the funds for your activities."


    Logically speaking, the relationship between the two sides was a cooperation. Ah Cheng''s side offered help and didn''t need to pay such a sum of money, but su yanbai was afraid that things would not work out. She didn''t want to lose such powerful help as ye yiyu and bai zixuan, so that Ah Cheng brought the money over.


    One hundred thousand yuan, in the past, ye yiyu and bai zixuan would not see it, but recently, the two people have been encountering accidents frequently, and their hands are indeed a little nervous, the money in front of them, it is difficult for them not to be tempted.


    After the cooperation, we can not only deal with our enemies, but also get money. It is definitely a stable business.


    The two of them looked at each other again, and their thoughts immediately matched.


    "Okay, we agree to cooperate." Bai zixuan announced rather formally.


    Ah Cheng was confident about this, so he didn''t show any surprise and continued, "Very well, then, let''s discuss the specific plan."


    He glanced at the cautious bai zixuan and the expectant gu chengyan one by one, then bent his finger to point at the table and said in a low voice, "You have all been in contact with ye zhiqiao and gu mohan before, and even once had a close relationship, so you must know their weak points very well..."


    "Little treasure!"


    Without waiting for him to finish, gu chengyan had already tried to express himself as if he was the first to speak.


    Bai zixuan glared at her discontentedly and said in a deep voice, "Shut up and listen to others!"


    Seeing gu chengyan roll his eyes and close his mouth, cheng cai cleared his throat and continued, "That child is right to tug at gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s heart, but as a man, the most important thing must be his own woman, so if we want to deal with them fundamentally, we have to catch ye zhiqiao and that little treasure together."

 Chapter 397 Planned Kidnapping

    "You mean..." As soon as gu chengyan opened his mouth, he immediately remembered what he had just experienced and quickly turned to glance at bai zixuan. Seeing that the other party had not stopped him this time, he relaxed and asked, "You mean kidnapping ye zhiqiao and xiao bao?"


    Ah Cheng nodded naturally.


    "Impossible! Did you know that gu mohan sent bodyguards to protect ye zhiqiao in the dark every day? Just the three of us and kidnap ye zhiqiao? Stop joking." Gu chengyan waved his hand and curled his mouth to one side with disdain.


    "First of all, I don''t have time to joke with you." Ah Cheng spoke again, his tone much lower than before. "Miss ye, I hope you can face up to our cooperation this time. You just have to make a statement about the plan I proposed. There''s no need to say anything else."


    These words were conveyed to him by su yanbai in the headset.


    With his hands short and bai zixuan at his side, gu chengyan did not dare to say anything, so he had to shut his mouth again.


    Bai zixuan eased the atmosphere at the right time and said, "Mr. Ah Cheng, tell me what you think. We will cooperate fully."


    Ah Cheng snorted softly. After getting permission from su yanbai in the headset, he hooked his ear and said, "Well, tomorrow is sunday, but according to what I heard, the gu family has just received a big list of business and is very busy recently, so the staff will work as usual. Let''s find a chance to tie ye zhiqiao. As for xiao bao... It''s just a child. It''s not too late to deal with her after tying ye zhiqiao."


    "Uh... That..."


    Gu chengyan, who had been quiet for less than two seconds, raised her hand again, as if noticing the impatience of the two men. She quickly pointed to the screen of her phone and explained, "No, I''m not against you. I just saw a few messages from my colleagues. They said that jian mengqi came to gu''s as well. They also said that little treasure will be picked up tomorrow..."


    "Oh? Little treasure also came to the gu family? With ye zhiqiao?" Bai zixuan opened his eyes excitedly, then leaned forward and said to Ah Cheng, "This is great. Little treasure and ye zhiqiao together, we can save a lot of trouble!"


    Bai zixuan raised his voice in excitement. Su yanbai, who was on the other end of the earpiece, could hear it clearly. She smiled and said softly, "Very well, it didn''t take much time to get here. You''re taking advantage."


    Ah Cheng cocked his ears, then withdrew his gaze from the window and said to bai zixuan and bai zixuan, "Okay, the time for the operation is tomorrow. I will contact you again on the specific plan."


    Then, he raised his hand and called for the waiter to pay, and the three of them left the coffee shop one after another.


    The next day, Ah Cheng got up early to squat around ye zhiqiao''s apartment, and bai zixuan appeared around gu''s as agreed.


    Gu chengyan punched in the clock as usual, but she couldn''t sit still and work. Instead, she would look at the clock from time to time and then look at the office.


    Because ye zhiqiao was never late for work, as long as she didn''t come in after eight o'' clock, it proved that Ah Cheng and bai zixuan had successfully tied her up with little treasure!


    On this side, gu chengyan was still anxiously looking forward to the good news, but on the other side, Ah Cheng was already very anxious.


    Gu chengyan got the news that ye zhiqiao was indeed going to take little treasure to work today, and gu mohan did not send them to work, but he drove away early, but... Although gu mohan was not around, ye zhiqiao and little treasure were not at all surrounded by many people!


    Not to mention the two bodyguards on the surface, but other than that, there were several bodyguards sitting in the breakfast shop next to the apartment upstairs and downstairs!


    No one else could tell that ah cheng did this. Could he not?


    I didn''t expect gu mohan to give up so much for the sake of women and daughters. Those bodyguards looked like masters, and they were definitely not out of pocket.


    Ah Cheng and ye zhiqiao went all the way, and did not find any chance to do anything, so when he was at a loss, he had to call su yanbai.


    After listening to his report, su yanbai could not think of any countermeasures. After all, she did not have many people to use, and the number of people sent to help the three of Ah Cheng was even more limited. Since she could not find the opportunity, she had to wait carefully.


    So, Ah Cheng and the others squatted around the gu building until it was almost lunchtime before they finally got the chance.


    Speaking of this "Opportunity," the cause was still little treasure.


    Because recently, little treasure had been taken care of by jian mengqi and Qin Baiye. Although jian mengqi and Qin Baiye were close friends of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, and they were close to little treasure, they were outsiders after all, and their relationship could not compare to their father and aunt ye.


    Therefore, after seeing ye zhiqiao, little treasure stuck to ye zhiqiao''s side for a moment. When she heard ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi discussing whether to eat at the staff restaurant or order takeout at noon, she was extremely determined to eat the meal that ye zhiqiao cooked herself.


    "I just want to eat what aunt ye cooked!"


    Little treasure hung on ye zhiqiao''s shoulder like a koala bear, wrapped her arms around her neck and said coquettishly, "Aunt ye, little treasure hasn''t eaten the food cooked by aunt ye for many days. He really wants to eat... Eat meat... Eat green leaf vegetables..."


    "Ouch, little treasure..." Ye zhiqiao pulled little treasure off her neck with a smile and put it on her lap, then pointed her index finger at the tip of her upturned nose and pretended to complain, "Why is it a little greedy cat? You know how to eat?"


    When jian mengqi heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered, and deliberately patted her cheek at little treasure, as if she was disgusted with her humiliation.


    Little treasure made a big red face and snuggled into ye zhiqiao''s arms, but his mouth was still nagging about eating the food that ye zhiqiao cooked.


    Ye zhiqiao never had the heart to refuse any requests from little treasure. Besides, it was just a lunch. Of course, she would satisfy little treasure''s wishes.


    So, during the lunch break, ye zhiqiao brought little treasure to meet with jian mengqi in another office. The three of them drove to the nearest supermarket together.


    The location of the supermarket was in the city center, and it was the weekend, so many people went shopping. The parking lot in front of the supermarket couldn''t even find a place. Finally, jian mengqi drove her car to the underground parking lot of another shopping mall and barely found a parking space.


    After parking the car, jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao each held little treasure with one hand. Jian mengqi still pinched little treasure''s tender face and said with a wrinkled nose, "Look, if you have to come out at this time, you must be squeezed into a small meat pie!"


    "A little..." Little treasure stuck out his tongue and made a face at her.


    The three of them walked into the supermarket, chatting and laughing, followed by several bodyguards disguised as customers.


    Behind those bodyguards, su yanbai''s men were waiting for an opportunity.

 Chapter 398 Separated

    The supermarket was noisy and the crowd was chaotic. A few plainclothes bodyguards would be pushed away by the crowd from time to time, and then quickly chased back to ye zhiqiao and the other three.


    Ah Cheng, who was observing the situation at a street stall, winked at the men who were standing in a few inconspicuous places around him, then they all moved towards the entrance of the supermarket. Not long after, they followed ye zhiqiao and the other three into the glass door of the supermarket.


    Ah Cheng followed, stretching his neck and looking around, then walked in.


    In the supermarket, ye zhiqiao pulled out a cart and put little treasure on the seat. Jian mengqi followed and the three of them went straight to the fresh food area.


    Because they were preparing their own lunch, they could only buy some fresh vegetables and meat. They thought that people would buy clothes, snacks, cosmetics and so on when they went shopping, but they didn''t expect that there were so many people in the fresh area.


    Looking at the crowd in front of her, jian mengqi frowned with a bitter face and lamented, "On a hot day, why are all the aunts and uncles playing in the supermarket instead of blowing the air conditioner and watching tv?"


    Ye zhiqiao was amused by her appearance and then raised her hand to point at the hanging sign on her head. She explained with a smile, "It seems that there are some special offers, um... The uncles and aunties like it the most."


    "Ah--" jian mengqi dragged her long voice, her whole body showing her sadness.


    "All right!" Ye zhiqiao controlled the trolley with one hand and pushed her forward with the other on her shoulder, "It''s rare for an old man to have some leisure activities. Long live understanding. Let''s hurry up and take a look. Maybe it''s really cheap. If you don''t take charge, I don''t know how expensive firewood and rice are. The price of vegetables has gone up a lot recently!"


    Jian mengqi really did not know the price of vegetables, and with her economic strength, she did not need to care about that at all. If she did not come over, she would have to squeeze in at little treasure''s request, even if she was extremely reluctant.


    Miss jian, who was soaked in honey pot, was not used to this environment, but ye zhiqiao was like a fish in water. Whether it was the quality choice of all kinds of vegetables and meat, or discussing prices with her aunt, she seemed to be very familiar with it.


    In less than half an hour, the cart was already half full.


    Ye zhi happened to look for a corner where no one was around and carefully counted the items. Seeing that she had almost bought all the necessities, she was ready to call jian mengqi to leave, but she didn''t want the impatient miss jian to be picking out sweet potatoes with a white-haired aunt just now. Looking at that expression, she seemed to have benefited a lot.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head helplessly, thinking of standing in the same place and waiting for her for a while, but little treasure in the cart pulled the corner of her clothes, pointed to a row of shelves in front of her, and said with narrowed eyes, "Aunt ye, there''s chocolate there, little treasure wants to eat chocolate..."


    Uh...


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the chocolates, then at jian mengqi, and finally sighed deeply. She tilted her head helplessly and said, "Okay, let''s go buy snacks first, then come back to find aunt jane."


    "Okay, okay!" Little treasure clapped and clapped his two fleshy hands together, sitting on the seat with his head held high in excitement like a little hero.


    Ye zhiqiao lovingly rubbed her little head and pushed the heavy cart forward, but the bodyguards nearby did not notice this scene.


    They thought that ye zhiqiao would leave with jian mengqi after shopping, so they set their eyes on the picky jian mengqi.


    When ye zhiqiao pushed little treasure away from the bodyguards, Ah Cheng in the dark followed with several men silently.


    ...


    "Okay! Thank you, auntie. I told you that the sweet potatoes I bought before were always not sweet. So there''s a particular thing about buying sweet potatoes. I''ll remember it in the future!"


    Jian mengqi took a small bag of sweet potatoes and said goodbye to the smiling aunt. Just as she was about to turn around and put the bag into the cart, she found that the cart and ye zhiqiao had already disappeared.


    Looking around, she had no choice but to go to the nearest bodyguard and ask.


    "Do you know where Zhiqiao and little treasure went? Didn''t you just buy food here?"


    "..." The bodyguard seemed to realize that something had gone wrong and looked a little anxious." I was there, but... But it disappeared in the blink of an eye. I thought you were going to leave together, so...


    "So there''s no one left?!"


    Jian mengqi was shocked and her face turned ugly.


    In fact, in public places like supermarkets, she did not think that ye zhiqiao and little treasure would encounter any mishap, but she was not afraid of ten thousand just in case.


    The more jian mengqi thought about it, the more worried she became. She did not bother to cover her eyes and ears. She gathered all the bodyguards who followed her around and divided them into several teams to look for ye zhiqiao and little treasure in the supermarket.


    This jian mengqi had just led the bodyguards to look for them separately. On the other side, ye zhiqiao had already strolled back with little treasure and chocolate, just in time to pounce on an empty space.


    Jian mengqi and the bodyguards were gone. Of course, ye zhiqiao couldn''t stand still and wait, so she took little treasure to look for them.


    The two sets of lives were staggered, but it was exactly what Ah Cheng and the others wanted.


    When ye zhiqiao pushed little treasure to the staircase that few people passed by, a few people who had been following in the dark immediately rushed out!


    Ah Cheng''s plan was in place. Before ye zhiqiao and xiao bao could make a sound, two men had already pressed a piece of ether gauze on their noses.


    After a negligible struggle, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao both softened and closed their eyes.


    The piece of dark chocolate that little treasure had been holding in his hand was also slowly rolling away in the discernible marble.


    "Quick! Move fast!" Ah Cheng stood around the corner, watching out for the wind and urging a few men in a low voice.


    According to his arrangement, one of the men supported ye zhiqiao to leave first, his mouth was full of worry and kept saying, "Well, well, bear with it. My husband will take you home immediately. I already said that your hypoglycemia is so serious, you will not be able to hold it without breakfast."


    Taking away the unconscious ye zhiqiao needed to disguise, so it was much easier to take away little treasure.


    Another man held little treasure in his arms with an air of composure, just like an ordinary father holding his daughter, and naturally took little treasure away from the supermarket.


    Except for the cart that was filled with more than half the stairs, everything was normal and suspicious.

 Chapter 399 Something Happened to Them

    At one o'' clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of a small, remote hotel in the outskirts of the city, a few men gathered under a big tree to enjoy the cool. It seemed normal for outsiders, but if they looked closely, they would find that there was something wrong with their looks.


    Ah Cheng took out a large red note from his pocket and handed it to a man in charge. He raised his chin and said in a rough voice, "Count it first. Go back and share it with them. The boss may need you for something later, so keep your mouth shut. Don''t say anything you shouldn''t say."


    The man answered without even counting the money and stuffed it directly into his trouser pocket. Then he squeezed his eyes at the hotel and asked in a fawning manner, "Brother cheng, can you be alone inside? If you find it troublesome, will your brother help you watch for a while? No money!"


    Ah Cheng looked him up and down, took out his cigarette, took a big puff, and said with a puff of smoke, "No, go back."


    After that, he turned around and walked straight into the hotel.


    The location of the hotel was remote and the environment was messy. There were not many guests staying all year round, and the boss barely managed to keep it open, so he didn''t care about the guest''s status or identity card, so he gave you a key, whatever you wanted to do.


    Ah Cheng held the key and opened a rusty door on the far side of the second floor. After the shaking sound of the iron door, silence returned to the room.


    There was a woman and a child huddled on the sofa, motionless, with only a slight rise and fall in the chest. If not for the awkward posture, it would look like they were asleep.


    Ah Cheng walked closer and did not bother about the woman. Instead, he fiddled with the child''s face for a while, even peeling her eyelids open for a look.


    He had never given medicine to such an older child before, for fear of losing his life if his measurements were not properly controlled. But now it seems that it shouldn''t be a big deal. After a short period of sleep, she can almost wake up.


    "Huh-"


    After dealing with everything, ah cheng took a breath and sat down on the sofa opposite him. He took out his cell phone and called su yanbai to report the situation. Then he contacted bai zixuan and ye yiyu to let them come over as soon as possible. Finally, he got some rest time and closed his eyes.


    It had been nearly an hour since ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were caught. Jian mengqi walked around the supermarket with her people, feeling more and more uneasy.


    Yes, even if they had missed it before, they had already scattered and looked for it several times, and there was no reason to miss it every time!


    Jian mengqi felt that she could no longer fool around the supermarket, so she summoned her bodyguards again, leaving a small number of people to continue searching in the supermarket, while the rest were sent to the square and parking lot outside to look for people. If there were no results in half an hour, she would have to contact gu mohan.


    The bodyguards dispersed as she instructed and expanded their search beyond the supermarket. Finally, a bodyguard found the lonely cart as he passed the staircase that few people passed by.


    Previously, he had been following behind ye zhiqiao, so he recognized at a glance that it was ye zhiqiao and little treasure''s cart, so he immediately informed jian mengqi.


    When jian mengqi arrived and saw the cart, she knew that something must have happened.


    Under any normal circumstances, ye zhiqiao could not leave with little treasure in silence unless... They were forced...


    Thinking of this, jian mengqi could not help but tremble in her heart and feel a chill in her body.


    Then, trembling, she took out her cell phone and dialed gu mohan''s number, but her eyes could not move away from the familiar cart for a moment.


    "Hello?"


    Gu mohan should still be working overtime, and there was a hint of carelessness in his voice.


    Jian mengqi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, but her voice was still trembling, "Gu... Gu mohan, something happened... Something happened to Zhiqiao..."


    On the other end of the phone, the original "Crackling and crackling" sound of the keyboard suddenly stopped, and then gu mohan''s voice suddenly became clear.


    "You said something happened to zhiqiao?! What is it? Where is it?"


    "It''s at the big supermarket not far from the company, Zhiqiao... And little treasure... They''re all... Gone..." Jian mengqi squatted down on the spot, holding her knees in an extremely helpless manner.


    She stammered, because her voice was trembling slightly and it sounded indistinct. Gu mohan raised his voice and asked, "What do you mean it''s gone? Why is it gone?"


    "I... Even... I don''t know..."


    How does jian mengqi know the details? In addition to the anxiety in her heart, she mumbled for a long time without saying why.


    Gu mohan was more anxious than she was. Without waiting for her answer, he said, "I''ll be right over!" Then he hung up the phone, grabbed the car keys and ran out of the office.


    Gu mohan will be here soon, which makes jian mengqi feel much more at ease.


    She knew that she had to pull herself together and not panic, so after she finished talking to gu mohan, she immediately called the police.


    She had called ye zhiqiao before, but the other party showed that her phone had been turned off, and asked the people in the company. They also said that they didn''t see ye zhiqiao go back, and little treasure was a child, one big and one small disappeared in public places, and the police soon began to file a case investigation after receiving the police report.


    As soon as jian mengqi got an answer from the police, gu mohan had already arrived at the supermarket.


    Gu mohan followed the instructions on jian mengqi''s phone to the staircase where ye zhiqiao and xiao bao might have disappeared. After looking around, he asked the bodyguard beside him, "None of you saw her when she left?"


    "Uh... We..." Perhaps his expression was too heavy. The bodyguard knew he had gotten into trouble and didn''t have the courage to answer such a question.


    Seeing his misunderstanding, gu mohan explained, "It''s true that you are not doing well, but as long as ye zhiqiao and little treasure appear safely, I will not punish you, so what you have to do now is to try your best to provide clues."


    Gu mohan''s words made the bodyguards feel ashamed and remorseful, and they began to introduce the situation at that time, but they did not notice when ye zhiqiao and xiao bao left, and the clues provided were of no practical significance.


    Just as everyone was at a loss, jian mengqi suddenly noticed the surveillance probe above her head and pointed to gu mohan with joy, "There''s surveillance! Gu mohan, there are surveillance cameras here! Let''s go to the monitoring room and check it out!"


    That''s right! Regardless of whether ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were missing here or not, as long as you take a look at the surveillance, everything will be clear.


    Gu mohan was dizzy from his previous work. After receiving jian mengqi''s call, he was worried and his mind was in a mess. He didn''t even think of the simplest way.

 Chapter 400 That Hotel

    "Okay, I''m going to look for the person in charge of the supermarket now, but I''m not sure what happened to Zhiqiao and little treasure yet, so you can keep looking around with your people, okay?"


    Gu mohan nodded at jian mengqi, seemingly arranging tasks for her, but in fact, he was afraid that she wouldn''t have anything to do and would think too much, so he comforted her in this way.


    Of course, jian mengqi would not refuse, so she quickly ran away with the bodyguards after she agreed.


    Gu mohan went to the manager''s office alone, told the supermarket manager what had happened, and then made a request to check the surveillance.


    The management of such large supermarkets was stricter. The surveillance video belonged to the internal information and would not be checked by outsiders. However, gu Mohan''s matter was really urgent and gu mohan''s identity was different from ordinary people. The manager agreed to his request without hesitation and took him directly to the monitoring room on the first floor.


    According to the suspicion, gu mohan first asked to check the surveillance at the stairway where the cart was parked.


    Just as the staff pulled the progress bar to his designated time point, ye zhiqiao''s figure and the little treasure on the seat appeared in the surveillance screen together.


    "Mr. Gu, are these miss ye and little treasure?" The manager asked with concern when he saw gu Mohan''s face suddenly changed.


    Gu mohan nodded, but did not say anything. Now, all his attention was focused on ye zhiqiao and little treasure in the picture, because he knew that perhaps the next second, there would be the scene he did not want to see the most.


    Ye zhiqiao seemed to be chatting with little treasure, and his footsteps were relaxed and natural. Little treasure in the chair raised his head and grinned at ye zhiqiao. Everything looked so warm and beautiful.


    But in the next second, a few men suddenly rushed out from the corner!


    As if they had practiced countless times, in the blink of an eye, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao''s faces were covered with a piece of white cloth with a big hand, and then in the blink of an eye, they were as soft as boiled noodles, leaning against the man''s chest behind them.


    "Damn it!!"


    Gu mohan pounded on the table, shaking the supermarket manager and staff who were staring at the screen nervously.


    He rarely said anything rude, but this time, he really couldn''t help it.


    Ye zhiqiao and little treasure disappeared into thin air accompanied by jian mengqi and a group of bodyguards. He guessed that something had happened and was ready to receive bad news, but he never expected that the people who took them would use this kind of dirty means to drug them!


    Ye zhiqiao was the woman he put on the tip of his heart. He couldn''t bear to yell at her, but now he was hurt like this! And little treasure was not only his heart, but also a five-year-old child. How much harm could that medicine do to the child, and even be fatal!


    If anything happens to ye zhiqiao and xiao bao, the two most important women in his life, he must bury those bastards with him!!!


    "President gu... Please calm down. Don''t worry. This happened in our supermarket. I promise you, the supermarket will cooperate with your work..."


    The supermarket manager was still trying to soothe gu mohan, who had already pulled out his cell phone and dialed his assistant''s number with a gloomy face.


    "Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were kidnapped by a few men with unknown origins. Now put down all your work and immediately investigate this matter. Dig out the people who kidnapped them. Oh... No, we have to find out where they are now, and then look into something else!"


    "Yes." After hearing gu Mohan''s instructions, the assistant also knew that the situation was urgent, but how could she investigate it empty-handed?


    He then said, "President gu, tell me what you have in your hands first, such as the time and place of the disappearance and the situation when the two of them disappeared."


    The assistant made all the necessary requests, but gu mohan was so anxious and angry that he could not explain it in detail. He roughly told her, "The supermarket next to the company was taken away by someone who was dazed more than an hour ago. The supermarket surveillance has recorded it. You can send someone to copy the video data!"


    It would take a lot of time to send someone to pick up the video. In this case, every second could be fatal. The supermarket manager quickly suggested in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, you don''t have to make the people under you so troublesome. I can send them directly."


    Gu mohan took the time to take a look at him, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I''ll trouble you."


    "Yes, yes, yes..." The supermarket manager said politely, then suggested, "By the way, president gu, there are surveillance cameras on both sides of the shops and roads around the supermarket. It should be faster for you to get your men to check those surveillance cameras directly than regular investigations."


    Gu mohan said "Yes," then took his advice and relayed it to his assistant.


    It must be said that the supermarket manager''s two suggestions helped a lot, and the assistant''s efficiency was already high. Half an hour after gu mohan gave the order, the assistant sent an address to gu mohan''s phone.


    At the back of the address, a sentence was added: this is the result of tracking and monitoring along the road. The car that took away ye zhiqiao and xiao bao finally stopped in front of the hotel and never left.


    This is it!


    I don''t know if it was telepathy or desperate treatment. The moment he saw the address, gu mohan subconsciously confirmed that ye zhiqiao and little treasure must be there.


    When he was in a hurry, he forgot to inform jian mengqi. He ran directly to the parking lot and drove to the hotel at top speed. He didn''t even bring a bodyguard with him.


    At this time in the hotel, ye zhiqiao was being dragged from the living room to a small room by gu chengyan.


    Ye zhiqiao was still half asleep and half awake. Gu chengyan''s action, like pulling a bag of rice, made her very uncomfortable, but even so, she did not open her eyes and only groaned in pain.


    But gu chengyan would never let her go because of her pain.


    On the contrary, the more painful she was, the more excited gu chengyan became.


    "Wah -"


    Ye zhiqiao was thrown into a corner, and then a basin of cold water came down. Even in a stuffy, air-conditioned room, even in a semi-conscious state, her body still subconsciously shivered.


    In the cold stimulation, her mind finally became clear.


    There seemed to be a strong and pungent smell lingering at the tip of her nose. Ye zhiqiao wanted to wave her hand to get rid of it, but found that she could not lift her strength at all. She was drenched from head to toe, with strands of hair on her forehead, and water dripped rhythmically into her eyes and cheeks...

 Chapter 401 The Mask of the V Killer

    "Cough... Cough..."


    She coughed a few times and her breathing finally became smoother, but when she lifted her head with great effort, her breathing stopped abruptly.!!!


    What did she see?


    What kind of face was that? Or, what kind of mask was that?!


    Black thick, white fierce, long eyebrows bent down, a beard bent up, dark eyes and a small beard like a tombstone in the middle of his chin...


    She had seen the "V" hate team before, but in this case, in a dark corner, she saw the" v" killer mask representing justice and violence. Fear was her natural reaction.


    At this point, the v killer, there is no justice, only violence.


    "Tick - tick -"


    The water droplets on her body were still falling, but the person opposite her was still motionless. Through the mask, she could see the smiling eyes of the other party, but in fact, in the dark environment, she could not tell if the other party was a man or a woman.


    "Who are you?" Ye zhiqiao asked without any curiosity.


    She knew very well that the other party was wearing a mask, so she definitely didn''t want to let her know her identity, and it was also a waste of time to ask, but at this time, other than this idiotic question, she could not think of anything else that could better arouse the topic.


    After all, it was not clear what happened to little treasure. She had to find out.


    When the other party heard this, he smiled scornfully and said with disdain, "Ye zhiqiao, you are really stupid."


    Gu chengyan... No, when she put on her mask and looked down at ye zhiqiao, she wished she could return to ye yiyu.


    Ye yiyu deliberately spoke in a low voice, coupled with a thick mask, ye zhiqiao could not recognize her true identity, only that she was a woman.


    And that voice was so strange that ye zhiqiao suspected it might be the result of the man using a voice changer.


    However, it doesn''t matter if the other party is a man or a woman. It doesn''t matter if she scolds her for being stupid. The only thing she cares about now is little treasure alone.


    "Where''s little treasure? The little girl I caught with, where is she now?" Ye zhiqiao leaned back against the corner and looked up at the strange smiling face.


    Ye yiyu snorted and laughed. She tilted her head and stared at ye zhiqiao through her black eyes. She said condescendingly, "You can''t protect yourself now. You still have the heart to care about other people''s children. Are you really kind and loving... Or are you pretending to be too much?"


    If you were really so kind, why would I hate you so much?


    This last sentence, ye yiyu did not say, but it was her most real thought.


    "Is it true or fake? Is it important?" Ye zhiqiao looked at her with her eyes blazing. Although she was at a disadvantage in the situation, she was full of confidence, "If you think it''s important, then does it prove that we have been in contact, or even... Beyond the normal relationship? That''s why you used so many people to catch me, that you wouldn''t dare to see me in your true colors, and that''s why you''re here talking to me like a winner..."


    "Shut up!!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s tone was slow, as if she was talking about something unimportant, but to ye yiyu, it was like a knife stabbing into the body, a heartache.


    If it wasn''t for ye zhiqiao, she would still be the most favored daughter of the ye family, and the ye family''s daughter who called the wind and rain.


    All of this was ye zhiqiao''s fault, but now she is still trying to figure out her identity... Why? Why?!


    Ye zhiqiao could not see the expression of ye yiyu under the mask, but she could clearly see ye yiyu''s rapidly rising and falling chest and slightly trembling hands clenched into fists.


    She understood that she had angered the other party.


    When a person is angry, his fighting ability will increase to the highest level, but at the same time, his iq will also drop to the lowest level.


    From the conversation just now, ye zhiqiao thought that it was impossible for the other party to fight with her, so she continued to provoke the other party and said, "Why are you angry? If my analysis is correct, then in real life, you are a person who is inferior to me in every way. Now that I finally fall into your hands, shouldn''t you be happy? Why are you angry instead?"


    "Yezhi - qiao-"


    Ye yiyu gritted her teeth and enunciated her name word by word. Hatred poured out from the collision of her teeth. If there was substance, the whole house would be submerged.


    "Do you think I dare not do anything?" Ye yiyu''s eyes pierced into ye zhiqiao''s eyes like a sword, and her face twisted strangely under the mask...


    "Squeak-"


    A burst of brakes sounded in front of the deserted hotel, and several sparrows fluttered their wings and screamed as they fled to the sky in the shade of the trees.


    The car door opened and bright heels stepped down from the driver''s seat.


    A stone pierced the soles of her shoes, and su yanbai''s body shook. Fortunately, she was able to hold on to the car door and regain her footing.


    "What a lousy place!" She complained discontentedly, then kicked the ground hard, then straightened up, one hand raised to cover her forehead, and quickly walked into the hotel in front of her.


    She didn''t intend to come. She didn''t like the wilderness. Secondly, she didn''t want to reveal her identity. However, bai zixuan and ye yiyu were people she didn''t know. Although she asked for cooperation, she was still worried about them.


    Therefore, miss su had to lower her status and come over personally in the hot weather.


    But she did not expect that less than 20 meters behind her, a black car was speeding up, and the people in that car clearly saw her enter the door.


    Gu mohan slammed on the brakes and his body jerked forward because of inertia. Then he calmed down and recalled the back he had just seen.


    He was not familiar with su yanbai, but he had seen her many times recently, and her clothes were so conspicuous in this remote area that it was impossible not to attract attention.


    If the above does not fully confirm his guess, then the limited edition sports car parked in front of the dilapidated hotel is the best proof.


    What does su yanbai have to do with the shabby hotels in the suburbs?


    Of course not on the surface, but if the hotel is closed to ye zhiqiao and little treasure, then there may be a big relationship!


    Gu mohan did not know whether he should be happy to find the traces of ye zhiqiao and little treasure or angry at su yanbai''s involvement in the matter, but none of that mattered until ye zhiqiao and little treasure were safely rescued.


    What he needed to do now was to get out of the car and follow su yanbai.

 Chapter 402 A Few More Cuts in Your Face

    Ah Cheng had already sent the room number to su yanbai, so su yanbai didn''t greet the hotel owner and walked up the stairs with her nose pinched.


    The owner of the hotel was chasing after the drama, so naturally, he would not take the initiative to pay attention to her.


    After gu mohan entered, su yanbai was gone, so he had to ask the innkeeper about it.


    "Hello, did a woman in her twenties come in just now? Can you tell me which room she went to?"


    At the climax of the plot, the innkeeper''s eyes almost popped out. How could he have the time to answer his question seriously? He pointed up and said perfunctorily, "Upstairs, there are only a few people living there. Look for them yourself!"


    "...


    Gu mohan frowned, turned his head and walked straight up the stairs.


    He didn''t expect to see su yanbai waiting at the door of a room at the end of the corridor as soon as he reached the corner of the second floor.


    "Bang bang -" the iron door was slammed, making an especially uncomfortable sound.


    "Who is it?"


    A hesitant male voice then sounded from inside the door. The hotel was soundproof, both on the door and on the walls. Even gu mohan, who was not far away, could hear it clearly.


    Su yanbai had been waiting impatiently for a long time, so she replied angrily, "Bai zixuan, right? Open the door, don''t talk nonsense!"


    Bai zixuan inside the door was shocked, wondering how this woman would know his identity.


    But after the initial surprise, he still opened the door honestly.


    The door slowly opened, and su yanbai was impatient. She pushed it open with her hand and walked in proudly.


    After seeing su yanbai, bai zixuan was more shocked than before.


    He didn''t know su yanbai, so what else could he do besides be shocked and scared when a completely strange woman suddenly appeared at his kidnapping scene?


    But this woman looked very strange, as if she knew everything in the room, including the child lying on the sofa, and she did not have any doubts.


    "You are..." After pondering for a long time, bai zixuan could not help but ask the question in his heart.


    But su yanbai didn''t even look at him. Instead, she walked around the little girl on the sofa, then walked to a closed room and pretended to push it open.


    "Ah!! Wow-"


    At this moment, the girl who had been quiet on the sofa suddenly woke up. After seeing the completely unfamiliar environment, she immediately burst into tears!


    Bai zixuan and su yanbai were both startled. Before they could move, the door had been slammed open from the outside!


    Gu mohan, like an arrow from a string, quickly ran into the room, followed the sound and found little treasure''s position. Then he reached out and took little treasure into his arms.


    "Little treasure... Little treasure, I''m daddy... Don''t cry... Daddy''s here..." Holding the lost little treasure, gu mohan comforted him with tenderness and carefulness, but su yanbai and bai zixuan, who were by the side, broke out in a cold sweat when they saw this scene.


    Not only because of gu mohan''s sudden appearance, but also the expression on gu mohan''s face at this moment, which they had never seen before, was sinister and ferocious.


    Was gu mohan angry?


    Yes, not just anger, but anger!


    From the moment su yanbai said bai zixuan''s name, he confirmed his thoughts - ye zhiqiao and xiao bao must be in the room, and they were kidnapped by su yanbai and bai zixuan together!


    At that time, he was already furious, but he didn''t know what was going on inside, so he didn''t dare to rush in, afraid that su yanbai and bai zixuan would jump over the wall in a hurry, which would harm ye zhiqiao and xiao bao.


    But the moment he heard little treasure crying, he finally lost his mind completely.


    His daughter was crying and suffering. He had to be by her side, he had to stand in front of her and ye zhiqiao to protect them, and those who bullied them had to be punished the most!


    With this belief in mind, gu mohan broke into the iron gate like a madman and rushed in regardless.


    Fortunately... Fortunately, it was not too late. His favorite daughter was still fine...


    "Bang!"


    Just as he was getting some comfort, a dull sound suddenly came from the small room next to su yanbai, as if a pile of heavy objects had fallen to the ground.


    Ye zhiqiao?


    Ye zhiqiao!!


    The name instantly flooded his mind.


    Su yanbai saw that his eyes were red, blue veins on his forehead were bulging, and he came towards her with a deep breath. Thinking that he was going to do something to her, she immediately screamed and opened the door to hide in the room.


    Bai zixuan also heard the sound just now, and he knew that ye yiyu and ye zhiqiao were in the room, so he followed behind su yanbai and ran in.


    Gu mohan hugged little treasure and finally rushed in.


    In the dark room, ye zhiqiao was squeezed into a corner. Just as gu mohan stepped into the room, a crisp slap exploded on her cheek.


    "Pa -"


    Ye yiyu gave ye zhiqiao a hard slap, and then a cold light flashed in front of her.


    On ye yiyu''s right hand, the sharp blade of the dagger was shining with power.


    "Aren''t you very powerful? Aren''t you a good talker? Don''t you want to keep me under your feet forever?" Ye yiyu''s mouth, which was hidden behind the mask, gave a sly smile. She gave a few grim sneers and continued, "Okay, I''ll stab you in the face too. We''ll have a fair and just competition in the future!!!"


    With a sharp cry, ye yiyu grabbed ye zhiqiao''s hair like crazy, and the dagger on his right hand was about to stick to her white cheek.


    A big palm came from the side. Ye yiyu was stunned and could not avoid it. He was almost caught by the other party''s wrist!


    Between the sparks and sparks, she quickened her movements and threw herself forward, gathering all her strength to her right hand.


    Gu mohan''s dark pupils suddenly dilated, and he lost his sense of propriety. He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. He held the dagger tightly in his hand.


    The sound of the blade piercing through the flesh was so slight that it could not be heard from a little distance, but gu mohan was sure that he definitely heard it.


    The skin and flesh cracked, and the blood flowed out. It flowed down the blade and the skin of the palm, one drop at a time, forming flowers on the floor.


    Heh! Isn''t it too beautiful?


    In fact, it wasn''t that beautiful, but gu mohan was in so much pain that he couldn''t think of any other way except to divert his attention to numb himself.


    On the other side, ye yiyu was pushed to the corner with his free arm. He was so angry and in pain that he had no control at all, that ye yiyu shrank into a ball and groaned for a long time before he could get up.

 Chapter 403 Who Should I Worry About?

    Bai zixuan was still struggling to help ye yiyu up. Su yanbai was still afraid of what gu mohan would do to her after knowing the cause and effect. Jian mengqi and the police had already rushed up the stairs.


    She pushed the door open with them and came in with yi chen, whom she had not seen for a long time.


    After jian mengqi rushed in and saw the situation, she immediately set her sights on ye yiyu, who was huddled in a corner with a mask, and bai zixuan, who was terrified.


    "Comrade police, it''s the two of them!"


    The leading police officer looked at the situation and instructed his men to call an ambulance while calling ye yiyu and bai zixuan to understand the situation.


    Bai zixuan was as scared as a sieve, and ye yiyu had not yet recovered from the pain, so he could only cooperate obediently.


    On the other side, ye zhi coincidentally held gu mohan''s arm and cried herself.


    "Gu mohan... Gu mohan... Why are you so stupid... Your hand..."


    The pain in his palms made gu mohan frown uncontrollably, but he forced out a smile and rubbed ye zhi''s messy head, "It''s okay. It doesn''t hurt. I don''t hurt."


    "How can it not hurt?!" Ye zhiqiao was angry, anxious, and heartbroken. She wiped her tears and blamed herself, "It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have been smart enough to provoke her... If I had listened quietly and let her say a few words to relieve her anger... She... She wouldn''t have been angry..."


    Ye zhiqiao could not stop sobbing. She could hardly say the following words. Yi chen looked at him painfully, but ye zhiqiao never looked at him for a second since he entered the door. No matter what he said at this time, it should be superfluous.


    That''s right, superfluous.


    Knowing that ye zhi happened to be kidnapped by chance, he found jian mengqi recklessly as if he had lost his soul and followed her here shamelessly, just because he was worried about the woman in his heart.


    He wanted to see her. Although he hadn''t seen her for a long time, she was in danger now. He had to see her with his own eyes to be safe.


    Now he saw, in addition to seeing her safe rescue, he also saw her crying for another man''s heartache, so in addition to feeling relieved, he also felt heartache.


    Heartache is self-inflicted, isn''t it?


    He shook his head and chuckled at himself, but his eyes could not bear to move away from ye zhiqiao for a moment.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao finally broke away from her previous breakdown, but her worry about gu Mohan''s wound did not decrease at all.


    She pulled gu mohan to her feet and said as she walked towards the door, "Let''s go. I''ll drive you to the hospital first. We''ll talk about the rest when we get back!"


    "Ouch, ouch..."


    Jian mengqi stopped them, pointed to the police beside them and reminded them, "They are still aware of the situation. It''s not appropriate for you to leave now, and the ambulance will be here soon. Wouldn''t it be better for the doctor to disinfect and bandage the wound before going to the hospital?"


    Jian mengqi was probably the calmest person now. Gu mohan agreed with her and persuaded ye zhiqiao, "Yes, there''s a traffic jam outside at this time. How can I rest assured when you drive in this state? Let''s wait here for a while, shall we?"


    Ye zhiqiao seemed reluctant and kept her eyes on the wound on gu mohan''s palm. At this moment, she felt more pain than gu Mohan''s wound.


    Just as ye zhiqiao and bai zixuan were struggling to decide whether to go to the hospital, ye yiyu and bai zixuan were surrounded and questioned by a room of police, su yanbai, the "Free man," took the opportunity to leave the room quietly while everyone was not paying attention.


    She already wanted to leave, and she shouldn''t have come here today!


    I don''t know who did this to her. Not only did it attract gu mohan, but it also attracted a large group of police officers. She could guarantee that Ah Cheng and his group would keep their mouths shut and not give her up, but how could she know what kind of people ye yiyu and bai zixuan were?


    Bai zixuan had clearly seen her just now. If he accidentally mentioned something when the police asked, how could she wash it clean?


    Even if the police can spend some money to find a relationship to solve the problem, but gu mohan is not easy to fool. If she can''t steal the chicken and eat the rice, she will completely anger gu mohan. At that time, gu mother will not be able to protect her!


    But even if she was in a hurry, there was no use waiting for the police to inquire about the specific situation. The only thing she could do now was to run away as soon as possible, and then figure out a way to deal with it.


    The small rooms of the dilapidated hotel were still in chaos, and no one noticed su yanbai''s departure.


    The police asked about the general process, together with the testimony of gu mohan, jian mengqi and others, caught ye yiyu and bai zixuan on the spot. Although they had not gone through the formal procedures, it seems that the current sentence for several years is not to escape.


    "The ambulance is downstairs. We''re going back first. We''ll contact a few people later on about the progress of the case." The leading police officer nodded at gu mohan, shook hands with ye zhiqiao, jian mengqi and yi chen again, and then got into the police car escorting ye yiyu and bai zixuan.


    Ye zhiqiao held gu mohan''s arm from beginning to end. When she heard that the ambulance was coming, she looked up and asked, "Can we go now? This wound looks pretty deep. Maybe you need stitches. I''m afraid you''ll lose too much blood."


    Gu mohan smiled indulgently and was about to say something when jian mengqi suddenly exclaimed.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao followed jian mengqi''s gaze and turned around. They saw that little treasure, who had been sniffling and following behind him, had fallen straight to the ground at some point. His eyes were closed and his little brows were frowned. His expression looked extremely painful.


    "Little treasure!" The three of them shouted in unison, then rushed to little treasure together.


    A few minutes later, the ambulance downstairs sounded the alarm and sped towards the central hospital, but gu mohan, the patient he was supposed to receive, sat on the side and the person lying on the bed became little treasure.


    After running a few red lights and forcing a lot of private cars to stop, the ambulance arrived at the hospital as soon as possible. After little treasure was pushed out of the car, her former attending doctor immediately surrounded her, listening to Mohan and the other three, while pushing her into the emergency room with the nurses.


    As the door of the emergency room closed, the world finally returned to peace.


    But in this rare silence, a group of people were frowning and worried.


    Little treasure''s body was already not good. Although he got better after meeting ye zhiqiao, his physique was still a lot different from that of his peers. This time, he was drugged by those bastards. How could his little body bear it?


    Ye zhiqiao accompanied gu mohan to bandage the wound and rushed back to the emergency room. At this time, even she did not know whether she should worry about gu mohan first or about little treasure first.

 Chapter 404 Rare Blood Type Holder

    As time passed, little treasure in the emergency room had no news yet, but gu mohan, who was waiting outside the emergency room, was getting worse and worse.


    The wound on his palm was very deep, and ye yiyu used ten times as much strength as she could when she stabbed him. After gu mohan grabbed the blade, she did not know whether it was out of revenge or pure fear and nervousness. Not only did she not let go, but she even spun the handle of the knife. It was because of this that gu mohan reflexively kicked her.


    But after little treasure fainted, gu mohan refused to leave little treasure to treat himself. Ye zhiqiao cried and forced him to be taken to the emergency room. He only let the medical staff simply bandage him. The doctor said that in this case, the needle must be stitched, but he took advantage of the little nurse to get the equipment and left with ye zhiqiao. Until now, he only wrapped a few rounds of gauze around his hand.


    Seeing the gauze stained red with blood, slowly dripping blood down his fingertips, gu mohan''s entire face began to turn pale. Ye zhiqiao finally got up and squatted down in front of him again. Anxious and distressed, she advised, "Mohan, listen to me. Go and treat the wound before you come over, okay? Don''t worry, I''ll stay here forever. I''ll let you know as soon as I hear from little treasure..."


    She carefully lifted gu mo''s hand, which was so red that it turned red, and couldn''t help but sob, "The doctor said that he almost hurt his hamstring. It''s really serious. Now is not the time to be brave... You... Little treasure like you will be worried when you see it..."


    Ye zhiqiao was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. Her whole face was knitted together, and her tears and snot did not bother her image at all.


    Within a few hours, he was kidnapped with xiao bao and almost disfigured by ye yiyu. After gu mohan was injured, xiao bao fainted and was rescued.


    Seeing her like this, gu mohan was heartbroken, but little treasure was still in the emergency room. How could he leave? He had to see with his own eyes that the two men he had just recovered were safe to be at ease.


    "I''m fine. Sit down and rest. If you''re hungry, I''ll ask my assistant to buy you something to eat. I promise you, when I see little treasure coming out, I''ll go get treatment immediately."


    Gu mohan''s eyes were gentle, but his pale face was full of stubbornness.


    Ye zhiqiao knew his character well and was thinking quickly about how to persuade him, when the door of the emergency room suddenly opened.


    "Doctor! How''s the doctor?!" Jian mengqi was the closest and ran over in a gust of wind.


    Ye zhiqiao then got up and followed, but gu mohan, who suddenly stood up from his seat, felt his body go soft and his eyes darken. For a moment, he was unable to move and could only support the wall with his left hand to stabilize himself.


    The middle-aged doctor didn''t even take off his mask, so he quickly skipped over jian mengqi and ye zhiqiao and came to gu mohan. He took out an agreement and handed it to him. He said quickly, "Little treasure is not in a good condition. He may have been shocked recently. Now he has to undergo emergency surgery. Sign it first!"


    The middle-aged doctor was xiao bao''s primary doctor, and he was responsible for everything in the hospital, so he was the one who knew the most about xiao bao''s physical condition. At this time, he looked in a hurry and must have met with a very anxious situation.


    Although gu mohan was extremely worried, he could only trust him, so he immediately took the pen and signed it.


    The doctor quickly left with the signed agreement, but if he had time to take a look at the name on it, he would find that gu mohan''s usual big words were now shrinking like a reptile, and the lower right corner of the white paper was stained with a thick red mark.


    As the white door of the emergency room closed again, gu mohan''s body fell to the ground like a concrete bag.


    "Gu mohan!!!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s screams were close to his ears but seemed to be far away from the sky. The white ceiling above gu mohan''s pupils was spinning at an extremely high speed, and it was gradually replaced by darkness. Until the last trace of consciousness disappeared, he finally closed his eyes.


    He was agitated and had lost a lot of blood. He had been able to hold on until now because of his continuous fitness and good health.


    Fortunately, no other symptoms were found after the emergency checkup. The doctor stitched up his wound and put in a bottle of nutrient solution before sending him to the ward.


    Although the face of gu mohan on the hospital bed was not ruddy, his expression was calm, and the doctor would definitely not have an accident. Ye zhiqiao temporarily left him alone in the ward to rest, and he went back to the door of the emergency room to guard little treasure.


    As it turned out, luckily she got back to the emergency room in time, because just as she was leaving, little treasure was in a critical condition during the operation, and he was bleeding heavily!


    Little treasure was too young, and the risk of the operation was much higher than that of an adult. In addition, her own physical condition was too bad. The operation was only halfway through.


    To make matters worse, little treasure was the owner of a rare blood type!!


    Type b rh negative blood.


    When the doctor said the name, the present jian mengqi and yi chen were shocked.


    This kind of strange blood type has never been seen on tv, never met in real life, who would have thought that the people around him would actually have this kind of blood type?!


    "Where is the child''s family? Does her family have the same blood type? The hospital''s blood bank is currently lacking in blood!" The young doctor looked anxious. He did not understand the situation. Seeing that only jian mengqi and yi chen were waiting outside, he kept urging them.


    Jian mengqi was straightforward and said in a loud voice, "Gu mohan! Could her father, gu mohan, have the same blood type as her?!"


    Are you sure? If so, tell him to come over as soon as possible. The remaining blood in the blood bank won''t last long!"


    "Wait a minute." Before jian mengqi could answer the doctor''s question, yi chen interrupted, "Gu mohan was in a coma just now because of excessive blood loss. How could he give little treasure another blood transfusion? There''s no blood in the hospital, and there''s no blood in the blood center?"


    The last sentence, he asked the doctor.


    The hospital was owned by the Yi''s, and most of the doctors knew yi chen. Seeing him say so, the young doctor explained, "Everything happened. A few hours ago, a pregnant woman with the same blood type gave birth to a massive hemorrhage. The reserve of this blood type was originally small, and even the blood center was emptied."


    As he spoke, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the tense air slowly flowed in the air, but they all knew that if no more blood transfusions were found, little treasure''s life would be in danger!

 Chapter 405 The Same Blood Type

    At this moment, the young doctor suddenly thought of something and asked, "Eh? The child''s father is unconscious. What about the other relatives of the child? Mom? Grandparents? Do you have the same blood type?"


    "What''s the same blood type?!"


    Ye zhiqiao, who rushed back in a hurry, heard the doctor''s question and immediately became nervous and asked stiffly.


    Jian mengqi had a quick tongue and told her everything in a few words. In the end, she did not forget to comfort her not to worry too much. There must be a way.


    But she said all the things she shouldn''t have said, but she didn''t mention the most important point.


    "What kind of blood type is little treasure?" Ye zhiqiao turned to the doctor and asked.


    "B-type rh negative blood." The young doctor looked down helplessly, as if nothing had changed.


    At this moment, ye zhiqiao suddenly closed her eyes and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Then she tightened her body and said in a trembling voice, "With my blood, this is my blood type!"


    The doctor, yi chen, and even jian mengqi were stunned.


    "What are you? What kind of negative blood are you?!" As a good friend for many years, jian mengqi did not know ye zhiqiao''s blood type, let alone yi chen and the doctor.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded carelessly, rolled up her sleeves and explained perfunctorily, "I didn''t have a physical examination before, but I only found it after glancing at the examination report last time in the hospital."


    Then she stared at the young doctor and said, "Let''s go, doctor. Where are we going to draw blood? Let''s hurry over."


    The doctor quickly looked at ye zhiqiao, and a hesitation flashed across his face.


    Before ye zhiqiao could ask him anything, jian mengqi had already grabbed ye zhiqiao and stopped her, "No, you can''t give blood! Don''t you know that you''re always anemic? And you''ve been scared a lot today. What if you can''t hold on to the blood?"


    Jian mengqi just spoke out the doctor''s heart. Ye zhiqiao was so thin that she couldn''t give blood at a glance. Although the patient in the emergency room was in an emergency, she couldn''t joke about other people''s health.


    However, ye zhiqiao''s attitude was unusually firm, "There''s nothing wrong with it. I''m not sick. I''ll take some blood and at most take some time to recuperate. The most important thing now is little treasure."


    "Zhiqiao..." Yi chen, who had not said a word after the meeting, stood up and patted ye zhiqiao on the shoulder, "There is still some blood left in the hospital. It can last for a while. I have called other hospitals. They are trying their best to help find it. Maybe there will be results soon. Let''s wait and see."


    "Yes, yes, wait and see." Jian mengqi immediately agreed.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head. Can they wait? Can little treasure wait?


    She looked up at yi chen and said, "Thank you for your help, but you also said that there might be a result, but if there is an accident, who will be responsible? I know my body. You don''t have to worry."


    Ye zhiqiao''s attitude was firm, and his expression was indistinguishable. Yi chen understood his position in ye zhiqiao''s mind, so he stopped talking and quietly backed away with his head down.


    Jian mengqi saw that yi chen had been blocked back, but she did not retreat. Instead, she continued to persuade him, "Zhiqiao, can you not be impulsive? Are we going to hurt you? Even if you don''t listen to us, you should listen to gu mohan, right? If he were here, he would never let you draw blood!"


    "Then I''m glad he''s not here." Ye zhiqiao made a funny joke, then shook jian mengqi''s arm and said softly, "Okay, I know you are doing it for my good, but still respect my decision, okay?"


    "You..."


    Yes, no one can change the decision that ye zhiqiao made. Jian mengqi wanted to persuade, but suddenly she didn''t know how to speak.


    At this time, the door of the emergency room was pushed open again, and a little nurse ran out of it. Her voice changed nervously, "Did you find a suitable blood type? The child is going to die!"


    Looks like the blood bank has run out.


    This time, ye zhi coincidentally had to donate blood, and jian mengqi couldn''t stop her if she wanted to.


    The young doctor no longer hesitated. After confirming ye zhiqiao''s wishes, he took her to the blood donation room.


    The needle pierced into the flesh, and the dark red blood slowly flowed out along the transparent tube. Ye zhi coincidentally stared at the liquid that seemed to be still warm, imagining that when they entered little treasure''s body, they could exchange for little treasure''s safety. For a moment, the anxiety in her heart finally calmed down a lot.


    At the door of the blood donation room, jian mengqi held the door frame tightly with both hands and stared at ye zhiqiao''s face without blinking, afraid that she might faint accidentally.


    A series of footsteps came from far and near in the quiet corridor. Jian mengqi was not in the mood to turn back, but she also knew that it should be Qin Baiye who came.


    Sure enough, Qin Baiye''s voice sounded behind her back, "Mengqi, I contacted a friend, but I haven''t found the right blood type yet. How''s little treasure now?"


    "Ah -" jian mengqi sighed and looked at Qin Baiye feebly. Then she raised her chin towards ye zhiqiao in the room and said in a long voice, "What else can we do? Of course, it''s from the person most connected to little treasure in the world who donated blood to little treasure."


    The most destined person?


    Qin Baiye smacked the words and asked with wide eyes, "You mean ye zhiqiao and xiao bao have the same blood type?!"


    Jian mengqi shrugged her shoulders and spread out her hands. She didn''t answer, but it was clear.


    Soon, the doctor finished drawing blood, took the blood bag and told ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi before leaving, "The blood donor is weak, so don''t move for a while. All the glucose water on the table has been drunk. If you need anything, you can call the nurse."


    "Okay!" Jian mengqi nodded solemnly and agreed. Then she quickly ran to ye zhiqiao''s side and looked here and there to see if she was uncomfortable.


    Discomfort is certain.


    When the blood was drawn halfway, ye zhiqiao felt dizzy, and her chest was a little stuffy. However, she did not dare to open her mouth, afraid that jian mengqi or the doctor would suggest stopping the blood drawing, so she held on until the end, and now she had no strength to stand up.


    However, little treasure was not out of danger yet, and she would never be able to rest peacefully here, not to mention that she had promised gu mohan that she would always keep little treasure.


    Seeing that she seemed to be ready, jian mengqi slapped her back on the chair and said angrily, "You don''t want to die. How dare you move?"


    "I... I want to sit at the door of the emergency room. There are chairs there, too." Ye zhiqiaoqiang lifted her breath and explained, but just after she said this, she felt dizzy again.


    "Who are you fooling? Can that be the same? The doctor told you not to move, so you just sit here, where little treasure is... Um... And let Qin Baiye keep watch."

 Chapter 406 Yi Chens Suspicion

    Jian mengqi patted Qin Baiye beside her and motioned him to see little treasure.


    Qin Baiye promised, and when he reached the door, he bumped into yi chen who pushed the door open.


    The two nodded, then yi chen walked inside and said to the three people in the room, "Little treasure has been transfused, and the operation has ended smoothly. I have also contacted the hospital staff to handle the rest of the procedures. You can rest assured that this incident should be exhausted."


    "Is little treasure all right?" Ye zhiqiao reassured herself.


    Yi chen nodded with a warm smile, "Yes, it''s all right. It''s just that the anesthetic hasn''t passed. He''s sleeping in the ward."


    Hearing that little treasure was all right, ye zhiqiao''s heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally relaxed and breathed a complete sigh of relief.


    As soon as her spirit relaxed, a heavy sense of tiredness immediately attacked her. Ye zhiqiao leaned back on the back of the heavy chair and murmured, "That''s good, that''s good... I''m too tired to sleep for a while... If little treasure and gu mohan..."


    She was so tired that before she could finish her sentence, she had already fallen asleep with steady breathing.


    As a result, the three of gu mohan''s family, one of them had lost too much blood and fell asleep, the other had not fallen asleep after receiving anesthetics for surgery, and the other had given too much blood, so the task of taking care of them... Fell on miss jian.


    What else could he do?


    After all, yi chen was an outsider, so he definitely couldn''t trouble others, and even gu mohan''s hospitalization procedures were handled by others, so Qin Baiye was instructed by jian mengqi to pay the hospital fees.


    Jian mengqi sighed as she looked at the flow rate of the infusion bottle and muttered to herself what she had done in her previous life. In this life, she had come to work hard for the three of them, but even though she said so, she was probably the only one who knew how happy the three of them were when they were fine.


    Outside the corridor, Qin Baiye took the initiative to reach out to yi chen and thanked him again, "Thank you for your help today. We will definitely hold a banquet to thank you in the future."


    "Don''t bother, it''s just a matter of hands." Yi chen nodded and smiled, shook hands and turned around.


    At present, it seems that ye zhiqiao doesn''t need him here anymore. Gu mohan''s attitude towards him has always been bad. He doesn''t have to stay to cause any trouble, but before he leaves the hospital, he has something to ask the hematology doctor for confirmation.


    The director of the department of hematology heard that young master yi had come and insisted on receiving him personally. After serving tea and water, he was finally stopped by yi chen, "Director, you don''t have to be busy. I''m just here to verify a question. I''ll leave immediately after asking."


    "Oh? Then young master yi, you ask." The director sat down opposite yi chen, looking like he was waiting for him.


    Yi chen hesitated for a moment, then prepared his words and said, "As far as I know, there are very few rh-negative blood types, right?"


    "?"


    The director didn''t expect yi chen to ask such a question. It was a professional question, but it was something every doctor knew.


    However, there are many different paths. Although yi chen has a hospital at home, it should be normal not to know.


    The director sat up straight and cleared his throat, "Yes, in theory, panda blood accounts for only about half of the population in china. The minority will be more, and the han will be less."


    Han... Ye zhiqiao should be han.


    Yi chen muttered in his heart and continued to ask, "So in a city, um... Like this city, how many people have this blood type?"


    "Uh... This..." The director didn''t understand. Why did he just take the medical exam and now he''s taking the math exam again?


    But even so, he didn''t dare to be perfunctory. Instead, he calculated it carefully, and then replied seriously, "There are about ten million people in this city. Theoretically, there should be twenty thousand people, but it''s definitely far from here. It''s only... A few hundred people. It''s impossible for a thousand people."


    "So little?"


    Yi chen frowned when he heard this, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger.


    In the vast sea of people, the probability of a few percent is very small, but ye zhiqiao and little treasure are among them.


    At first, the two people who didn''t know each other at all and had no relationship at all, now not only were they as close as mother and daughter, but they even had the same rare blood type. Could it really be explained only by "Fate" ?


    Yi chen''s face became more and more strange. The director didn''t know if he had said something wrong and was about to ask, but yi chen asked again.


    "Director, little treasure seems to have been treated here all along. Is there any record of her past in the hospital?"


    The director nodded, "There must be. Little treasure has been in poor health since he was a child. For a period of time, he was hospitalized almost every day. The doctors in the hospital almost knew both of them."


    "Then... What about ye zhiqiao?" Yi chen took a deep breath, as if his guess was too far-fetched, but he couldn''t help but ask, "Ye zhiqiao has been abroad for the past five years, but before she went abroad, she was sick and also came here to treat. Can you find her treatment information?"


    Hospital records are usually kept for a long time, especially in large hospitals like them, which are almost permanent. The director said with certainty, "I can find it, but it will be a little troublesome. Master yi, don''t you know miss ye? Why don''t you just ask her?"


    Ask ye zhiqiao?


    Yi chen was startled, then smiled and shook his head.


    How could ye zhiqiao answer his questions about such a private matter? And this was just a baseless suspicion. Perhaps ye zhiqiao would think that he was crazy.


    "I don''t want anyone to know about this." Yi chen gave a vague explanation, and then said, "Director, you have been working in the hospital for many years. I hope you can help me with this matter. If you need any help, you can contact my assistant. Do you think so?"


    To help yi chen, that''s too good!


    The second young master of the Yi''s, no one else would like to fawn over him, but now it''s just a check on the files, what''s so difficult?


    The director hurriedly accepted the offer, and his smiling face looked as if yi chen had given him a promotion and a fortune.


    "Then I''ll trouble you." Yi chen nodded slightly, then got up and left the hospital.


    At this time in the ward, gu mohan finally woke up.


    "Zhiqiao... Where''s little treasure?" He rubbed his head and sat up, but did not see ye zhiqiao and little treasure.


    Qin Baiye was arranged by jian mengqi to stay with him. When he woke up, he poured him a cup of warm water and told him, "They are all good together. Little treasure should still be asleep. Ye zhi happened to be there with her."


    "What about the operation? Did it work?" Gu mohan swallowed the water with difficulty, his throat dry.


    Qin Baiye felt that he should not tell gu mohan about ye zhiqiao''s blood transfusion to little treasure, so he only replied, "Yes, it was very successful."

 Chapter 407 Dad Came to See You

    It was evening, and a cool breeze swept in through the half-open window, sweeping away the heat of the day. The branches outside were crisscrossed, reflecting the red afterglow of the setting sun in the distance. The lights were not turned on in the room, and the orange-red lights and shadows filled it, as if it were a cartoon scene.


    Ye zhiqiao''s soft long hair was covered in a layer of gorgeous gold, and she looked like a mermaid princess in a fairy tale. Gu mohan pushed the door open carefully for fear of waking up the beauty of the room.


    He walked closer with light hands and feet. First, he leaned his neck and looked at little treasure. When he saw that little dumpling was sleeping soundly, he smiled at ease. Then, he stood still and bent down to carefully observe ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao looked as good as ever when she fell asleep. Her nose, mouth, and even her eyelashes were gentle, but she was probably very tired. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she didn''t seem to be sleeping well.


    Gu mohan wanted to wake her up and let her sleep on the bed, but he couldn''t bear to disturb her. He had to lift his hand to pick up a coat from the back of the chair and gently cover her back.


    "Uh-"


    However, this small movement was still noticed by ye zhiqiao, who was sleeping less. She groaned lazily and then slowly sat up.


    She rubbed her eyes for a long time with her pale fingers and finally got used to the light. When she saw the smiling gu mohan in front of her, she was shocked.


    "Ah! You..."


    Halfway through the scream, ye zhiqiao suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth when she remembered that little treasure was still asleep, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.


    "Why are you here? Is there no discomfort on your body? When did you wake up?" She asked several questions in a low voice, but before gu mohan could answer them one by one, she asked nervously, "And your hand. How''s the wound?"


    As she asked, she lowered her head to grab Mohan''s hand.


    Gu mohan was also about to raise his hand to show her the wound, but he didn''t want to be unnoticed when his outstretched hand collided with hers.


    "Ugh!"


    Gu mo snorted, then took a deep breath. He tried to pretend that he was fine, but his brows could not open, and sweat dripped from his forehead.


    Ye zhiqiao''s body trembled and she was at a loss. She wanted to hold gu mohan''s hand to see what was going on, but she did not dare to move easily.


    "Mohan... You... I... I''m sorry. It hurts, doesn''t it? Will the wound open?"


    "It''s okay..." Gu mohan held his right arm tightly in his left hand and his muscles stiffened for a while before finally surviving the sharp pain. After turning his wrist a few times, he felt that the wound should be fine.


    "Mohan, let''s go to the doctor and have them take off the gauze."


    Ye zhiqiao was still trying to find a way. Gu mohan shook his head with a smile and pulled ye zhiqiao into his arms with his left hand. He said gently, "Okay, okay, it''s really okay. Don''t worry."


    Even if she stayed in gu mohan''s arms, ye zhiqiao also tightened her body and kept an eye on his injured right hand for fear of causing a "Second injury."


    "Are you sure you don''t need a doctor?" Ye zhiqiao was still worried and asked him.


    Gu mohan nodded solemnly and kissed ye zhiqiao''s bright and clean forehead before saying, "Sure!"


    Suddenly, she was "Taken advantage of." Ye zhiqiao patted gu mohan on the chest in a reproachful way and looked at the direction of little treasure with a guilty conscience, afraid that the scene of "Not suitable for children" would be seen by children.


    However, little treasure was still breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, and there was no sign of waking up.


    Gu mohan was happy to be alone with ye zhiqiao for a while, but he didn''t want to. Outside the ward, an uninvited guest was slowly approaching.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    With three rhythmic sounds, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan turned to look at each other at the same time.


    Jian mengqi and Qin Baiye should not knock when they come in. Gu mohan changed into his usual cool tone and said, "Come in."


    The door opened and ye guojun, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared outside.


    Why is he here?


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao both raised this question at the same time.


    "Is it convenient to come in?" Seeing that neither of them spoke, ye guojun had to take the initiative to ask.


    It was rare for him to be so polite. Although ye zhiqiao didn''t want to see him or say anything to him, she still had to be her father.


    So she turned to look at little treasure and whispered to gu mohan, "You can take care of little treasure here. I... Go out with him."


    As ye zhiqiao turned around and was about to leave, gu mohan suddenly grabbed her arm from behind with a slight worry between his brows.


    What ye guojun did to ye zhiqiao, he had already learned. Although ye guojun certainly did not dare to do anything to ye zhiqiao in the hospital, he did not want to let ye zhiqiao bear even the slightest grievance.


    The moment his eyes met, ye zhiqiao immediately understood what he meant.


    "Don''t worry." Ye zhiqiao patted the back of his hand and smiled.


    Then, she continued to walk towards the door. When she passed by ye guojun, her eyes did not waver at all, as if she did not see this person at all.


    Ye guojun had come to find her, and no matter how she behaved, she naturally had to accept it, so he followed her out and did not forget to smile at gu mohan before closing the door.


    At the end of the corridor, ye zhiqiao stood straight at the window and blew, her eyes slightly narrowed, no matter how the man behind her felt.


    In the end, ye guojun couldn''t help but ask again, "Zhiqiao, dad heard that you were kidnapped. Come and see you."


    When ye guojun reached middle age, his voice gradually revealed his old age. Coupled with such caring words, he sounded like a good father who loved his daughter.


    Outsiders would be moved when they heard it, but ye zhiqiao found it hypocritical.


    "Dad..." She forced herself to call out to her dad. Halfway through the smile on ye guojun''s face, she continued, "If you really want to be my dad, you should rush over to rescue me when I''m kidnapped, or if you''re afraid of dying, you can come and visit me as soon as I come to the hospital. Now? Heh!"


    "It''s getting dark. You should go home and rest."


    The merciless sarcastic rejection tore up ye guojun''s disguise in an instant.


    Ye guojun was supposed to retaliate like a thunderbolt, but he didn''t do it at this time. Instead, he patiently explained, "Dad did just get the news. You know, in order to protect you, president gu kept your information very tight. It''s really hard for outsiders to find out."


    Ye zhiqiao stared at him coldly, her expressionless face inexplicably trembling.

 Chapter 408 Ye Zhiqiaos Status

    Ye guojun thought she was going to say something to choke him, but he didn''t want ye zhiqiao to just nod and say, "Well, thank you, I''m fine. Please go back."


    After that, ye zhiqiao really lifted her legs and was about to leave.


    When ye guojun saw that she could not hold on any longer, he hurriedly took a few steps to stop her and explained with a smile on his face, "Zhiqiao, don''t hurry. We haven''t seen each other for a long time. We should talk about our family."


    Hmph!


    When she saw him at first glance, ye zhiqiao knew that people like him had nothing to gain early. If he didn''t ask for something, he would never have come to see her. He called himself concerned about his daughter. In fact, how dirty his thoughts were.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath, raised the corner of her lips and sneered, "I don''t have time to chat with you. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, goodbye."


    "This..."


    Ye guojun had a momentary awkwardness when his thoughts were revealed, but very soon, the insignificant awkwardness was buried by his interests.


    He paused, smiled and said, "Zhiqiao, dad is here mainly to see you, but there is one small thing that I want to trouble you with. Can you... Help dad with this?"


    "What is it?" Ye zhiqiao didn''t have time to play tricks on him and asked directly.


    "Yeah... Well, the ye family hasn''t been doing very well lately. Ah... Dad''s getting older and he''s not as capable as he used to be. To put it bluntly, I''m working for the company now, and it''s all to provide security for your lives in the future, so..."


    He raised his eyelids and stole a glance at ye zhiqiao. He cleared his throat and continued, "Now that the company is in a bit of trouble, can you lend a hand to help?"


    "How strange."


    After listening to ye guojun''s words, ye zhiqiao smiled helplessly, and then gave a comment on these three words.


    Ye guojun was in a daze and did not know what she meant. She then explained, "Your words are getting more and more interesting now. You actually said you wanted to protect my future? Please ask yourself, have you ever provided security for me before? Not before, but after what?!"


    "Zhiqiao, I..."


    "And..." Before ye guojun could argue, ye zhiqiao continued, "Take ten thousand steps back. Even if you really change your mind and want to be nice to my daughter, then I can''t help you. I''m just a small designer, and not even a designer these days. I''m just a small employee. How can I help you? Selling iron and steel?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s words were meant to make ye guojun give up and leave in a hurry. As usual, even if ye guojun was unwilling, he would definitely be embarrassed to leave. But today, he was especially strange. After listening to ye zhiqiao''s words, not only was he not angry, but he smiled again.


    "Zhiqiao, don''t lie to dad. How much are you worth? Can I not know?" After a while, ye guojun said meaningfully.


    He couldn''t know exactly how much ye zhiqiao was worth, but it wasn''t a problem to make a rough estimate.


    Not to mention how famous she is in the designer industry, but in the domestic industry, just one mengxing group is definitely worth two ye''s!


    Ye zhiqiao took over mengxing group, which had been reported on the news for a long time. However, at that time, gu mohan was suppressing ye zhiqiao so badly that he did not dare to go to ye zhiqiao openly to ask for benefits, but now ye zhiqiao''s business is getting worse and worse every day. With this going on, he has no one to rely on for the rest of his life, so at this moment, he can''t care whether gu mohan is happy or not. He must dig out some benefits from ye zhiqiao!


    Isn''t a daughter who has made a great contribution to her family?


    These thoughts of his, ye zhiqiao is very clear, because it is clear, so more disgusting.


    "My status?" Ye zhiqiao smacked the words between her lips and teeth, then closed her eyes and tilted her head. She smiled and said, "If your age hasn''t affected your memory, I should remember that you said countless times when you helped zhuang minjia and ye yiyu teach me a lesson. I''m just a worthless girl who nobody wants. In that case, isn''t it ridiculous for you to come and talk to me about my status now?"


    "Ye zhiqiao, pay attention to your attitude!" Ye guojun was humiliated by ye zhiqiao''s words, and finally couldn''t pretend anymore. He raised his voice and reprimanded her.


    "That''s the best attitude." Ye zhiqiao replied with a raised voice.


    "I told you, everything I did was for your own good. Why don''t you appreciate it?" Ye guojun frowned and waved his hand, "Don''t tell me those useless things. Mengxing group is yours. Why are you pretending to be poor? Dad is not a greedy person, so you can give some shares of mengxing to dad, and when the ye family comes back, you will definitely give them back to you."


    Shares of mengxing?!


    Ye zhiqiao stared at him with wide eyes, her white face filled with disbelief.


    Where did he get the courage and courage to ask her for shares?


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and refused, "First, mengxing group is not mine; second, the shares can''t be given to you; third, I don''t believe that you are the kind of person who keeps his word!"


    "You!" When ye guojun heard this, his eyes widened in anger and he turned into an angry look.


    Ye zhiqiao had already seen his true face, and it was no surprise to see him again.


    She spread her hands out and said coldly, "Okay, now that I''ve answered your question, you don''t have to daydream anymore. You can leave in peace."


    After that, no matter how ugly ye guojun''s face was, ye zhiqiao straightened herself and walked around him towards the ward, not turning her head back until she entered.


    She didn''t want to look back, and she couldn''t.


    Because the hardness and coldness on her face could no longer be pretended, the familiar sadness once again eroded into her bone marrow.


    That man was her father after all. How could she not be moved when he said he cared about her coming to see her? But the past hurt so much that she couldn''t even lie to herself. Her father, who was originally such a snob, couldn''t care about her own flesh and blood, and never could.


    In the ward, gu mohan was already waiting anxiously, but since ye zhiqiao reassured him, he would not go out to disturb him.


    Finally, he heard the sound of the door opening. He was preparing to welcome him with joy, but he met ye zhiqiao''s red eyes.


    It goes without saying what happened.


    Gu mohan walked forward, raised his hand and pulled ye zhiqiao into his arms. He did not ask any questions, but gave her a harbor to rely on.

 Chapter 409 Dont Make It Easy

    Ye zhi happened to close her eyes tightly in his arms, her face completely blank.


    After a long time, a few inaudible sobs finally came. They were as light as a feather, but they made gu mo''s heart ache.


    "Cry, I''ll stay with you. Cry as long as you want." He would not force ye zhiqiao to be strong and laugh and cry whenever he wanted. He gave ye zhiqiao the greatest freedom.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and wiped her tears and snot all over gu mohan''s suit. Then, like a child who had been wronged, she said in a trembling voice, "I know I shouldn''t be soft-hearted, but... I only have one family, and I only have one family... He doesn''t want to be my father... I''m his child, and I''ve called him father for more than 20 years, but he... Doesn''t treat me as a woman at all. Er..."


    After so many changes in one day, it was not easy to settle down. Ye guojun still had to make trouble, just like the last straw that crushed the camel. Ye zhiqiao''s strength was finally broken.


    It was like a broken piece of porcelain, each of which could pierce flesh and blood.


    Gu mohan hugged her tighter and rested his chin on her head. His heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. At the same time, he thought that he must punish ye guojun severely. Whoever hurt ye zhiqiao, he would not let go of anyone!


    "Hee hee..."


    When the atmosphere was sad, a snicker suddenly cut through the air. The two people hugging each other were stunned. One forgot to cry, the other forgot to bite his teeth and think of a way to get revenge. They turned to look at the source of the laughter.


    In the middle of the white quilt on the hospital bed, little treasure was secretly looking at the two of them. Little treasure was so small that he could only see a pair of big round eyes, making people laugh and cry.


    "Little treasure... When did you wake up?" Although she didn''t do anything out of the ordinary, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but blush. She reflexively pushed gu mohan aside and walked to the hospital bed.


    "Hmph!"


    She didn''t want little treasure, who was still smiling just now, to suddenly straighten up after hearing ye zhiqiao''s question. She pouted and pretended to be angry, "Aunt ye doesn''t even know when little treasure woke up. Aunt ye only looked at her father. Aunt ye doesn''t like little treasure, and little treasure is not happy!"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned, thinking that little treasure was jealous. This was a big deal!


    So she hurried over to little treasure, pinched her face and ears, and asked, "Then how can little treasure be happy again? Auntie ye is ignoring dad, okay?"


    A crow flew over gu mohan''s head, unable to interrupt.


    Little treasure was more satisfied with what he said. He puffed up his mouth and said, "Well... You don''t have to ignore dad, but... Aunt ye has to hold little treasure in the future."


    "Hey! Isn''t that simple?"


    As soon as ye zhiqiao reached out her hand, she pulled little treasure out of the quilt and kissed him several times in front of her small face.


    "Hehe... Hehe..." Little treasure was tickled by the kiss, laughing and shaking his head to avoid it. How could he remember being jealous a few minutes ago?


    Little treasure''s smile curled up into a ball, and ye zhiqiao could not help but smile because of the soft and cheerful appearance. The haze caused by the arrival of ye guojun seemed to be gradually cleared away.


    The crisis passed, the family was safe, the three of them were laughing happily, and all the unhappiness was blown away by the evening wind.


    At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Qin Baiye and jian mengqi came in to buy dinner for the three of them.


    "Aye! Are you all awake? If I had known to buy more things, you wouldn''t have had enough." This was what jian mengqi said with her flat mouth. Ye zhiqiao and gu mohan were both amused and helpless.


    Gu mohan smiled as he took out his phone and said, "It''s okay. I''ll call my assistant and ask him to send someone over. You guys have been busy all day. Take a break."


    As he said this, he really wanted to make a call. Qin Baiye came over to cover his phone and tilted his head, "No, I bought a lot of things. She''s teasing you."


    "Grey sunday is over, and tomorrow is a new day... Isn''t it good for me to make a joke?" Facing gu mohan''s burning eyes, jian mengqi quickly shrank to ye zhiqiao''s side and defended herself without any confidence.


    Gu mohan blinked his eyes and thought for a while. He took ye zhiqiao and sat down at the table. He picked up the disposable chopsticks gracefully and greeted him naturally, "Come and eat."


    Jian mengqi mumbled discontentedly, "I bought the food, okay? Why is it like your treat?" But they still sat down together.


    Qin Baiye raised his hand and rubbed her head, then a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs rolled into her bowl.


    Jian mengqi took a beautiful bite. Mmm, it was sweet and fragrant!


    The night passed quietly in the sweet food, and for the next few days, it was the same.


    Although gu mohan''s wound was a little severe, he did not need to be hospitalized, but bao, who had undergone the operation, could not. The attending doctor ordered him to stay in the hospital until he passed the physical examination, and during this period, bao must be taken care of carefully, and his diet must not be a little sloppy.


    The job of taking care of little treasure naturally fell on ye zhiqiao''s shoulders.


    Ye zhiqiao was distressed by xiao bao and was also the most experienced person to take care of him. Not only could he complete the tasks arranged by the doctor, but he could even do better than required. After several days of care without clothes, xiao bao''s body was improving rapidly.


    But just as the days were peaceful, peaceful, and beautiful, trouble came back.


    The reason was that father ye, who had been rejected for help, was so angry that he became ashamed.


    The last time he talked to ye zhiqiao, 50 % was fake and 50 % was real. The fake one was his concern for ye zhiqiao, and the real one was ye shi''s recent predicament.


    He said it was a difficult situation, but as long as he settled down and dealt with it seriously, there would still be a turning point. But with ye zhiqiao, such a money-spinner tree, how could he take the trouble to make a detour?


    He is ye zhiqiao''s father. If he gave birth to her and raised her, shouldn''t his daughter repay him for her success?


    However, he never expected that he would take the initiative to go to ye zhiqiao to make a good deal, but ye zhiqiao not only refused to help, but also ridiculed him. How could ye guojun, who was in charge of the family all his life, allow such a thing to happen?


    Well, since it''s a good deal to talk about you, ye zhiqiao doesn''t give face, then let''s not have a good time!


    Since the day ye guojun left the hospital, he had contacted the media and reporters everywhere and adapted the matter between ye zhiqiao and him several times, then immediately published it on various websites!

 Chapter 410 Fall into a Scandal Again

    Finally, on a quiet night, a post titled "Ye zhiqiao''s lust for profit is killing her humanity" suddenly hit the headlines of major websites. Young people working or playing games all night in the city clicked and browsed. By the next morning, the number of clicks and comments had reached tens of millions!


    As the sun rose, the whole city began to wake up, and more and more people saw the post.


    The students who got up early to go to school, the commuters who rushed to the subway, the uncles and aunts who went out to buy food, the rich second generation who raised themselves in bed... Everyone was filled with indignation at ye zhiqiao''s "Inhumane" approach as long as they saw the tearful accusations on the post!


    Yes, the keyboard man and the sages who thought they were standing on the moral high ground emerged one after another today. Ye zhiqiao, who had disowned the rich and disowned his family and mocked his father, became the target of criticism.


    In their opinion, it was already a disgrace to climb up to the rich, let alone not respect filial piety, not benevolence and injustice?


    And the various comments on the internet, from the initial persuasion and criticism of ye zhiqiao, gradually evolved into judgment, sarcasm, and even cursing.


    "It''s better not to have a daughter like this. If she still has a little conscience, she should quickly apologize to her father. The old man will definitely forgive her."


    "There are no parents in the world, only children who are not. The ancients are definitely right."


    "Hmph! I would say that young people nowadays are all like this. They tend to be greedy for wealth and are very selfish!"


    "This ye zhiqiao seems to have been''red'' for a while before, but she was suppressed. Was it because of her boyfriend? Rich second generation?"


    Answer upstairs. You don''t even know her boyfriend? The famous gu mohan! I heard half of the city belongs to him. There was also ye zhiqiao''s past, which was marked by bad deeds, but after washing a few times, it seemed to have been washed white. With beauty and ability, ordinary people can''t compete..."


    "If you don''t want people to know, you can''t do it yourself. People like ye zhiqiao will get cold sooner or later! Damn it, I despise this kind of bastard who mistreats his parents!"


    "Hehe... Good and evil are rewarded. Just wait and see how her children''repay'' her when she gets old."


    ...


    Words became sharp swords in these people''s mouths, and after they were given the words, they were poisoned. Not only did they hurt themselves, but they also made others addicted to drugs. The word spread like wildfire. These righteous men had no justice to speak of.


    Perhaps the person they hate and abuse now is not ye zhiqiao, but the dark side of their hearts, but the person in it, will never be able to wake up.


    Thus, the malice that was produced by darkness was completely taken over by ye zhiqiao!


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know how many times she had been through such a whirlpool of rumors for no reason, but no matter how much experience she had, she couldn''t withstand the overwhelming online violence of mount tai, so after waking up and surfing the internet once in the morning, she cut off all the communication devices connected to the outside world at home and refused to step out of the door.


    At a time like this, gu mohan was naturally the one who stood up to deal with all this.


    In fact, he just saw that post not long ago. Although the meaning of ye guojun''s revenge was too obvious, he was not clear about the specific situation, and it was not easy to make a conclusion.


    So he called his assistant to his office and told him to investigate the matter, and... Help him find someone.


    "Send someone to find su yanbai." He let go of the mouse and looked away from the various comments on the web page, telling his assistant.


    The assistant was puzzled, "Miss su, she should be in this city all the time. You..."


    Su yanbai usually wanted to stick to gu mohan. If gu mohan wanted to find her, he could just call her!


    Gu mohan shook his head. Ever since he met her at the hotel that day, he never saw su yanbai again. Naturally, he didn''t answer the phone and sent someone to guard her door.


    The more su yanbai was like this, the more he felt that there was something wrong with su yanbai, so he had to find her as soon as possible.


    What he didn''t know was that at the same time he ordered the search for su yanbai, su yanbai was sitting opposite yi chen in a coffee shop downtown.


    Su yanbai mentioned this meeting first.


    Because she felt that after the incident at the hotel, whether gu mohan had the evidence that she was the mastermind in his hands or not, he would definitely doubt her. After all, seeing is believing, and she could not argue.


    Since that was the case, she decided to clear her mind and choose another way - to burn the cauldron!


    Before that, the su and yi families had been working together against the gu family for a period of time. According to her agreement with yi shaozhi, they should beat the gu family to the point where there was no way to retreat, and then she would help them. This would not only win gu mohan''s favor, but also make it logical for them to get engaged to gu mohan.


    However, the foundation of the gu family was much deeper than they had imagined. Although the successive blows had occasionally overwhelmed the gu family, they had not reached the point where it was difficult to support, but she could not wait any longer, so she decided to go to yi chen.


    Don''t look at yi chen, who usually acts like an idle person and doesn''t care about the company''s affairs, but he is the second young master of the serious Yi''s, who owns a lot of shares in the Yi''s group. If he can help, it will soon be possible to break down the gu family!


    "Yi chen, what would you like to drink?" Su yanbai asked with a bright smile.


    Su yanbai was famous for being so pretentious and difficult to serve, and now she put down her body and took the initiative to show her kindness, which meant that it was si ma zhao''s heart.


    Yi chen was too lazy to be interested in this kind of woman, so he waved his hand and said, "No need. If miss su has anything to say, just say it. I have something to do later. I''ll leave right away."


    What''s so urgent about young master yi, who has nothing to worry about?


    When su yanbai heard him say this, she looked at him carefully and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed and his fingers were continuously tapping on the table. She seemed really anxious. She immediately understood and asked, "Are you going to find ye zhiqiao?"


    Yi chen was stunned, his mouth moved, but he did not speak.


    Su yanbai was more sure of her guess at once, so she smiled and continued, "Ye zhiqiao has been pretty miserable lately. The internet has been turned upside down, so she probably can only hide at home now, afraid to go out and meet people. Oh, it''s a pity to be scolded by her own father. You say she -"


    Yi chen glanced over and su yanbai, who was so scared that she was halfway through, immediately shut her mouth.


    "Well... Don''t get me wrong. I don''t mean to gloat." Su yan bai paused for a moment before she squeezed out a smile again to explain herself.

 Chapter 411 Full Scale Strike

    "What the hell is it? Just tell me!" Yi chen lost his patience and urged again.


    Su yanbai rolled her eyes, took a sip of coffee, and then said with a deep meaning, "What I want to tell you may just solve your current troubles."


    Of course, ye zhiqiao was the one who was bothered by yi chen the most, but what could su yanbai do to solve it? Besides, who didn''t know what su yanbai was thinking about gu mohan? She hated ye zhiqiao, how could she help her?


    Yi chen didn''t believe su yanbai, but he couldn''t help but ask, "What do you want?"


    Su yanbai gave a "Cut," raised her delicate hand and looked at it for a while, then said faintly, "Can you stop looking at me with that suspicious look? Afraid that I would harm your sweetheart? Don''t you think about it, given ye zhiqiao''s current situation, you still need me to do it? Let me tell you, I really want to help her this time. Don''t bite lu dongbin."


    "Ahem -"


    Su yanbai''s words were not pleasant to hear, but the meaning was not bad. Yi chen coughed awkwardly and changed into a serious tone, "Okay, I believe you. Tell me what you think."


    "Hmph!" Su yanbai rolled her eyes and then said slowly, "Ye zhiqiao was scolded because of the post on the internet accusing her of being blinded by money and family, and the reason for this post is because she is gu mohan''s girlfriend..."


    Hearing this, yi chen interrupted her and said, "You don''t want to say that ye zhiqiao and gu mohan should be separated to solve this storm, do you?"


    "That''s right!"


    Su yanbai blinked her eyes, pointing at yi chen and herself, then said, "Isn''t my method good? You and I are the second generation of the rich. Don''t you know how much those people who are tortured by life hate us rich people? Not to mention ye zhiqiao, the kind of woman who flew to the sky, it would be strange if others didn''t scold her!"


    "This is prejudice!" Yi chen was already angry because of the comments on the internet, but now hearing su yanbai''s words, he was even more furious, and directly slapped the table and stood up.


    Su yanbai slammed the table and her hands were numb from the shock. However, in order to maintain her image, she suppressed it and replied loudly, "Prejudice or jealousy, you can''t change it! You can''t change others, but if you want to protect ye zhiqiao, you can only let ye zhiqiao change herself!"


    "I..."


    Yi chen heaved a breath, his eyes almost bulging out of his eyes, but su yan bai''s words, he really could not refute.


    Indeed, he could not control those netizens. Perhaps as long as ye zhiqiao was with gu mohan for one day, she would suffer the insults and glares of others for one day, and he could not protect her.


    Seeing that yi chen had calmed down, su yanbai knew that her words had worked, so she mustered up her courage and continued, "There is only one way to separate ye zhiqiao and gu mohan. When you and ye zhiqiao are together and protect her strictly, everyone will be happy."


    Let ye zhiqiao leave gu mohan, this point, yi chen is not without thinking. But he had promised to stand in the position of a friend and bless the two of them, so every time he had this dirty idea, he would force himself to forget, forget!


    But at this moment, su yanbai''s words, her tone and eyes were like the hands of a witch, opening Pandora''s box for him step by step, leading him to the abyss, facing the filth and darkness of the depths of his heart that he was most unwilling to face.


    "This is for the good of ye zhiqiao. She will definitely understand."


    Look, su yanbai is still making excuses for him, so that he really... Is about to be persuaded.


    ...


    "What should I do?"


    The battle between heaven and man lasted for a long time. Finally, human desire prevailed.


    Su yanbai curved her lips and smiled, looking in a good mood, "It''s very simple. It''s a matter of words. All you have to do is agree with the Yi''s to work with the su family to deal with the gu family. Of course, you can take this opportunity to care more about ye zhiqiao, which will help her to change her love for you."


    Yi chen''s adam''s apple rolled, and the hand holding the cup loosened and tightened. After a long time, he nodded his head gently, and without saying a word, he stood up and left.


    Su yanbai, who was left alone in her seat, understood that he must still be a little uncomfortable, but what did that matter? On the surface, it sounded nice and wanted to win for each other, but in fact, as long as she got gu mohan,


    She was very happy!


    From this moment on, the battle between Yi''s su and gu officially began!


    This time, both Yi''s and the su family have done their best in terms of projects, stocks, reputation, and so on. As long as they can reach them, both companies have ruthlessly destroyed and suppressed them. If ordinary companies were to encounter this situation, they would definitely have gone bankrupt ten times and eight times. Even gu family, which has occupied half of the city, could not escape the fate of being beaten back and forth. They could only struggle with the last breath of blood. However, it was obvious to everyone that the gu family was about to run out of steam at this rate.


    Things had developed to an ideal state, and it was time for su yanbai''s next step.


    A few months ago, gu Mohan had rejected the engagement with su yanbai in front of her family and friends. That incident made su yanbai very unhappy, but su yanbai was used to being spoiled at home. As long as she begged for a few words, su yanbai''s father quickly changed his mind.


    Besides su yanbai, father su hoped to get along well with the gu family. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, regardless of external factors, gu''s foundation is the most profound of the three companies, with unlimited potential for development.


    Secondly, at the beginning of su pan''s cooperation with yi shaozhi, su''s father disapproved. It was true that gu mohan''s attitude was infuriating, but he had known the gu family for many years and knew that their natures, especially their father and gu mohan, were not bad. In contrast, yi shaozhi''s treacherous merchant nature is obvious, and the cooperation between the su family and the Yi''s is tantamount to a tiger''s skin.


    After comparing the two, father su took the initiative to contact father gu and suggested that gu mohan and su yanbai could get married. The su family and the gu family worked together to deal with the Yi''s to solve the urgency of the gu family.


    Father and mother gu were worried about the recent situation of the gu family, so they naturally agreed happily, and kept saying good things to father su, apologizing for what happened before and making promises for the future.


    But the parents were overjoyed and forgot that the biggest variable in the matter was gu mohan, the protagonist of the matter.


    In the elegant western restaurant, su pan held up a glass of red wine and greeted gu mohan who was slowly approaching.


    Gu mohan had no expression and nodded his head lightly.


    After sitting down, gu mohan did not move his napkin and just leaned back in his chair and pinched his temples.

 Chapter 412 Dark Tide

    Too tired.


    This was the only feeling gu mohan had at the moment. When he thought about it, it seemed as if he had not been so tired even when he had just taken over the company and was so busy every day.


    It was normal for him not to sleep all night, and he had to fight with his clients or peers who were waiting to see a joke. Even gu mohan, who was physically superior to the average person, could not bear it.


    "Would you like some red wine? It can relieve fatigue." Su pan shook her goblet and smiled.


    Gu mohan heaved a deep breath and straightened himself up with both arms on the armrest. Then he straightened his tie and refused, "No, you asked me to talk business. We can put aside our past relationship."


    Gu mohan was right. Su pan did not ask him out to reminisce about the past, but to speak to him about his marriage to su yanbai on behalf of the su family.


    "You should be clear about what we mean. I won''t repeat it." Su pan still looked very talkative, her eyes narrowed into a long, thin arc behind the lenses.


    "Then just say it. Do you agree or not?"


    "No."


    As soon as su pan finished speaking, gu mohan gave the answer without thinking.


    Su pan seemed to have expected gu mohan to say this. After all, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were still very close, but for his sister and for the su family, he could only be an evil person who broke up with each other.


    "You have to think carefully about how long the gu family can last with the current situation." Su pan sipped a mouthful of red wine, nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "Uncle gu, you must know a lot more than I do as an outsider about how much effort you have put into working for the gu family. Now that he''s old enough to hand the gu family over to you, you''re ruining it. Ah..."


    He sighed sorrowfully and shook his head, "And even if you really don''t want anything, what about your parents? Living a good life for half a life, but living in poverty when you get old? Maybe they won''t even be able to drink this glass of red wine."


    Gu mohan''s eyes swept over the glass in su pan''s hand. The dark red liquid was slowly flowing, and the ripples gathered from the outside to the center.


    "Thank you for your reminder." After staring at the wine glass for a few seconds, gu mohan regained his composure, as if the anxiety and hesitation had never existed.


    Then he left and stood up, walking down the usual path with quick steps.


    Su pan didn''t want to persuade him, but in the end, she raised her voice and said, "Even if you have more confidence in yourself, you have to think twice before doing anything!"


    Gu mohan walked past the door opened by the waiter expressionlessly. Su pan''s words mingled with the wind outside. He seemed to have heard it, but he did not seem to have heard it.


    As soon as she stepped out of the restaurant and returned to the car, mother gu''s phone came after her.


    You don''t have to guess what she''s going to say. Gu mohan was not in the mood to listen, but as his finger approached the hang up button, he suddenly remembered su pan''s words.


    Their parents are old, and gu shi is their life''s work, just like their own children, watching gu shi become like this, they must be very anxious, gu father has a history of high blood pressure...


    Gu mohan''s heart softened as he thought about it. He shook his finger and clicked "Answer."


    Sure enough, mother gu called to let him go home.


    Gu mohan could have used the excuse that the company was busy, but he could not say anything when he refused, so he agreed.


    His current position was not far from the gu family mansion, but the gu family mansion and ye zhiqiao''s apartment were in two directions. He planned to go back and see ye zhiqiao''s apartment. He hadn''t seen her for a few days in the company, but now it seems that this plan can only be put on hold.


    The black car started slowly and drove in the opposite direction to the person she loved.


    At this moment, ye zhiqiao''s apartment was hosting another guest, a guest who would never be happy if gu mohan knew about it.


    Yi chen pushed the lunch box to the other side of the table, then lay on the table with his chin on his arm and said with a smile, "Eat more. Don''t you like this soup best? You must finish it all today."


    In the soup bowl, the fresh fish soup was giving off a strong fragrance, and just smelling it would make one feel more appetizing.


    There were also four other dishes on the table, all of which were cooked by the chef of a five-star hotel.


    These days, it was these things that made ye zhiqiao, who was depressed because of the rumors outside, have a rare appetite.


    "Thank you, yi chen."


    Even though she had said the same thing many times, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but thank her again.


    Ever since the first day of public opinion, yi chen has come here to see her every day, three times a day, according to the meal time. I watched her eat with my own eyes. If she was in the mood to chat, yi chen would talk to her. If she was upset, yi chen would leave immediately.


    The yi chen in front of me, I don''t know when it started, but it was very different from the former yi chen who only respected himself.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was in a daze after eating, yi chen picked up a pair of unused chopsticks and hit her on the head, deliberately scaring her and saying, "Why don''t you eat?! What else can you accomplish if you don''t eat seriously?"


    Ye zhiqiao sighed weakly, thinking that she could still dream of achieving something big? It''s good not to drown in other people''s saliva.


    However, in the face of yi chen''s concern, she could not be too ungrateful, so she narrowed her eyes and smiled, buried her head and began to eat.


    "Eat some meat too. If you can''t eat it, you have to eat it. Otherwise, your body won''t be able to hold on. You must have not recovered from drawing so much blood last time." Yi chen picked up some food for ye zhiqiao and kept on gossiping. The awkward feelings of the two of them had disappeared without her knowing it.


    These actions of yi chen moved ye zhiqiao very much, but in addition to being moved, ye zhiqiao maintained the distance between friends with him.


    Everyone was an adult and understood that one person would not treat another well for no reason. Ye zhiqiao already had gu mohan and decided to spend the rest of her life with him. Even though she and gu mohan had not had a chance to contact each other recently for some reason, she knew exactly what to do and what not to do.


    She turned to look out of the window amid the dusty noise.


    These days were always overcast, with dark clouds in the sky, blocking the light and bringing hot winds, as if a heavy rain was coming.

 Chapter 413 The Gu Family Was in Danger

    "Ringling -"


    Gu mohan got out of the car. Just as he was about to enter the door, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and then stepped back under the tree next to him to answer the call.


    "Hey, what happened?"


    The assistant on the other end of the phone spoke anxiously, looking as if he was in grave danger, "Big deal! President gu, the biggest project that our head office is working on, the partner suddenly withdrew the capital, and all the production lines have now stopped operating. It is roughly estimated that if we can''t find new investment within half a month, gu''s company will probably... Be unable to survive!" !!!


    Or is this the end?


    It was only a few days, and the gu family was beaten to pieces?!


    Gu mohan held the phone tightly in his hand, closed his eyes, and subconsciously looked into the villa. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Okay, I know... But don''t let president gu know about this for the time being. They..."


    "Mr. And Mrs. Gu should... Already know." The assistant hesitantly interrupted gu mohan.


    "What happened?" Gu mohan''s brows twitched and his voice rose unconsciously.


    The assistant hurriedly explained, "You know, Mr. Gu. He has been keeping an eye on the situation at our company recently. He has issued a death order saying that he must be informed as soon as possible of any noise from the company. And even if no one notifies him, such a big event can''t be hidden. You... You better persuade the elders. We will try our best to save the situation."


    Save?


    The building was about to collapse, so what use could manpower do?


    Gu mohan understood that his assistant was comforting him, so he agreed and told him to take care of the company. He hung up the phone and hurried into the house.


    Father and mother gu seemed to have known about the crisis in the company. At a time like this, they would not be able to accept it, so no matter how stiff their relationship was before, gu mohan should go and explain it to the two old people now.


    Gu father and gu mother were sitting on the sofa in the living room. There were no flowers in the antique vase on the table in her favorite garden. The tea in front of gu father was no longer steaming. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time. Both of them looked listless, as if they had aged in a few days.


    As gu mohan approached, he unconsciously lowered his steps and called out calmly, "Dad, mom."


    Mrs. Gu glanced sideways, her chest seemingly filled with luck and did not respond.


    Instead, father gu pointed to the sofa opposite him and asked gu mohan to sit down.


    Gu mohan sat down and looked at them carefully for a long time before taking the initiative to say, "Mom and dad, the company has encountered some trouble recently. I think you already know. I came back this time to tell you that you two don''t have to worry about it. I''ll take care of it. You can go on a trip or raise flowers and birds to enjoy your old age."


    After gu mohan finished speaking this time, mother gu finally responded with a sneer.


    "Hmph - Mohan, do you really think your parents are old and confused? How is the gu family now? Do you still need to reassure us? Let''s not talk about gardening and traveling. We can still talk about whether we can have a good meal in the future!"


    Mother gu''s words were sharp and she did not leave any room for error.


    But this time, gu Mohan did not have the courage to argue with her. After all, gu shi became like this in his hands.


    "Mom, believe me, there must be a chance. If the client is gone, you can look for it again. If the contract is gone, you can talk about it again. Isn''t that what dad was like?" Gu mohan leaned forward with one hand on his thigh.


    "What''s the same? How could it be the same?!"


    Mother gu raised her eyebrows and stood up. She pointed at father gu and said, "Your father? How much did your father suffer? How much did I suffer with him? What do you want, for us to live that life with you again?! We gave birth to you and raised you just to go back to the past?"


    "That''s not what I meant, mom. I..."


    "Okay." Gu father, who was at the side, finally couldn''t listen. He raised his hand and interrupted the mother and son who were quarreling." When is it? Is it still useful to argue about this?" He said helplessly."


    Gu mohan turned his head away and stopped.


    But mother gu refused to let it go, "Yes, of course! Make it clear that the company is not without a chance to turn around, but that your son is not willing to do it when he has a chance! He''s doing it for himself. He wants you and me, two old men in their 100s, to sacrifice for him... For his so-called love!"


    In the end, what mother gu cared about was her marriage to the su family, and she saw su yanbai as the last straw to save her life.


    That''s right, you don''t have to pay for anything, you can make the company stronger and even better, and you can get a valuable daughter-in-law. Why not?


    The other two understood what she meant, and father gu agreed with her, but Mohan had to agree with her in the end.


    Between ye zhiqiao and his career, gu mohan had to make a choice.


    In fact, there was nothing difficult at all. Gu mohan would definitely choose ye zhiqiao without hesitation!


    But if at one end of the scale, coupled with the consideration of parents and benevolence, justice, courtesy and filial piety, then this choice would indeed make him hesitate.


    He was ye zhiqiao''s man and little treasure''s father. He was the son of gu''s father and mother. He was the guarantee of tens of thousands of gu employees. If he collapsed and gu collapsed, what would those people do?


    Gu mohan closed his eyes and his adam''s apple rolled back and forth.


    There might still be a chance... Gu mohan persuaded himself, then looked up at mother gu and said, "I won''t marry su yanbai. I can reorganize the gu family as well. You and dad can continue to live a life of luxury."


    "Really?!"


    After a long time, gu mohan was still stubborn. Mother gu shook her head in disappointment, and her expression was on the verge of collapse.


    "How did I give birth to a son like you? Disrespectful, unfilial, heartless! How would our family live without the gu family?!!"


    Half a lifetime of money, fame, and glory will crumble with the fall of the gu family, and they will fall from the commanding heights to the ground.


    Mother gu, whose face was like life, could not stand it.


    "In the name of my mother, I will ask you one last time. Can you... Marry su yanbai?!" Shaking her hands and lips, Mrs. Gu pointed at gu mohan and questioned her sternly.


    Gu mohan paused, lowered his eyes and shook his head.


    "Okay!!"


    Mother gu screamed sharply. Then he picked up a fruit knife from the table and pressed it against his neck!

 Chapter 414 Then Lets Break Up

    In an instant, there was a commotion at the gu mansion!


    "Mom!" Gu mohan suddenly stood up and tried to rush over to grab the knife.


    But mother gu turned around and flashed, retreating a few steps closer to the corner, glaring at her bloodshot eyes and saying, "Don''t call me mother, I''m not! Go find your ye zhiqiao. I won''t live to get in your way!"


    "What are you doing?" Father gu''s face darkened, but his voice trembled uncontrollably, "If you have something to discuss, you should settle it. Why do you still use the knife? Put it down, let''s talk about it."


    "Yes, yes..."


    The maids who rushed into the living room also tried to dissuade their mother. Even a few girls were crying.


    The gu family had always been the object of the ordinary people''s admiration. Even though gu father was old-fashioned, gu mother was mean, and gu mo was cold and hard, they could still maintain their dignity and reserve under the packaging of money. How could they have seen such a scene?


    At this point, mother gu could no longer afford to lose or not lose face, because she knew that the day when the gu family could not survive the complete bankruptcy was the most humiliating day for the gu family. Before that, as long as it could be recovered, she would be willing to pay any price!


    The hand holding the knife tightened, and the sharp blade inched closer to the neck that had endured years and wrinkles.


    Mother gu''s hand was shaking, but no one noticed it.


    She was gambling, with gu mohan, with ye zhiqiao in gu mohan''s heart. Although gu mohan often fought against her for ye zhiqiao and even threatened her verbally, she still had some confidence if it was related to life.


    Finally, her bet... Succeeded!


    In the midst of the exclamation and dissuasion, gu mohan''s deep voice, which seemed to have lost all hope, came slowly, "Don''t you want me to marry su yanbai? I can''t... But I can get engaged first."


    This was his biggest concession and his cruelest decision. This "Cruelty" was to himself and also to ye zhiqiao.


    But mother gu forced him to die. He... Had no choice!


    With the crisp "Clang" sound of the fruit knife landing, the farce finally came to an end. Most people were happy and one was worried.


    In front of ye zhiqiao''s apartment building, there were dark clouds in the dark blue sky.


    Gu mohan smoked a cigarette and stared at the familiar building in front of him, lost in thought. Then the cigarette butts with sparks fell to the ground, raised their feet, and stepped out.


    He adjusted his suit for two days, smoothed his short hair, and walked upstairs.


    Two days had passed since he agreed to get engaged.


    Ever since he left the door of the gu family villa, he had been hiding in the office, hiding in the name of overtime work, but he understood that it was useless to escape.


    What ye zhiqiao should know will be known sooner or later, and what he should do is to take the initiative to tell her the truth before ye zhiqiao is hurt.


    The doorbell rang and the door was opened as if someone inside had been waiting at the door.


    They hadn''t seen each other for nearly a week and looked at each other. Both of them felt strange.


    "Come in." Ye zhiqiao spoke first.


    "Yeah."


    Gu mohan agreed, but he did not look ye zhiqiao in the eye, but lowered his head and walked in.


    The two of them sat on the sofa, quiet and awkward.


    "Anything to drink?"


    "Little treasure is not here?"


    At the same time, there was a moment of silence.


    Ye zhiqiao broke the silence, smiled and replied, "I was going to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago, and little treasure has been living with mengqi."


    "Oh." Gu mohan nodded, "I... I don''t want to drink anymore. Oh yes! You said you were going for a checkup... What''s wrong?"


    He didn''t know about ye zhiqiao''s blood transfusion for little treasure.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to say anything to make him worry, so she raised her hand to smooth his collar and deliberately said softly, "No, it''s always hypoglycemia. It''s just a normal physical examination."


    Gu mohan said "Yes." Ye zhi happened to have hypoglycemia, and he knew it, so he didn''t take it to heart.


    At this point, the conversation seemed to have reached a stalemate. There was something hidden in both of them, but neither of them wanted to speak.


    Finally, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help it first.


    "I heard that... The gu family has been in trouble recently, isn''t it very troublesome?" Ye zhiqiao tilted her head and asked as easily as possible.


    She took the initiative to bring it up, and gu mohan seemed relieved.


    "Not bad. No... Not good."


    Gu mohan hesitated, but ye zhiqiao knew clearly that the gu family was now very bad.


    On the news, on the website, including the daily report of yi chen, all told ye zhiqiao that the gu family was very bad and might even go bankrupt!


    At the same time, ye zhiqiao heard some news about the relationship between gu mohan and su yanbai.


    But she didn''t believe it. As long as gu mohan didn''t tell her, she wouldn''t believe anyone. Yi chen or jian mengqi, she could laugh it off, unless gu mohan... Said it himself.


    However, ye zhiqiao''s original certainty, after seeing gu mohan at this time, could not help but waver!


    On a stormy night, there was a dead room, and gu mohan, who was disheveled and wanted to speak but stopped... All the details were connected, and she really began to hesitate.


    In fact, she knew that if she broke up, everything would be solved. The gu family was still in the middle of the day, and gu mohan would get a girlfriend who would help him, and then be popular again. Little treasure could also continue to live a carefree life, better than most of his peers on the starting line.


    She understood everything, but she couldn''t help being selfish.


    This is human nature. What should we do?


    "What do you... Want to tell me?" Ye zhiqiao could not escape her conscience, so she chose the fairest way to ask, "If you have something to discuss with me, you must say it quickly. Tonight, I will agree to your request."


    If you want to break up, I promise; if you want to be together forever, I promise.


    Ye zhiqiao would not force her to die like mother gu. She just asked for gu mohan''s opinion in the most bland and breezy way.


    But it was also this kind of thoughtfulness that made gu mohan more ashamed and heartbroken.


    Neither of them was a procrastinator, and this matter could not be delayed. Gu mohan rested quietly on the sofa with his eyes closed for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at the familiar chandelier overhead, and said quickly, "Let''s break up."


    ...


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him silently for a long time, and the expression on her face changed from a forced smile to a dull one.


    "Then break up." She said.


    The sound of closing the door was the same as when opening the door. A dull and soft sound could bring people from both worlds together, and could also divide people from one world into two poles.


    Gu mohan left without looking back.

 Chapter 415 His Wedding Date

    "Mohan, come down! The designer has been waiting for a long time!!"


    In the gu mansion, mother gu''s cheerful greeting echoed on the top of the villa.


    Gu mohan sat in the bedroom upstairs, staring blankly at the dark blue suit on the bed.


    He remembered that ye zhiqiao had also designed a suit of the same color before, or a tuxedo. The fabric was also run back by his shop, and the style was as if it was tailored for him!


    The drawing time was in the afternoon, and he remembered it very clearly when it ended in the evening.


    Because the soft light of dusk fell into the window and fell on ye zhiqiao''s long hair. It was so beautiful. He was so intoxicated that he wished that time would stop at that moment forever.


    And now...


    He stared blankly at the random pile of suits on the bed, as if looking at a rag head.


    What''s the point? So what if it doesn''t fit? So what if I don''t? Anyway, the person standing beside him is not the one in his heart. The person in his heart may never... Ever stand side by side with him again.


    He pushed her away with his own hands.


    He actually... Pushed ye zhiqiao away with his own hands and said, "Break up with ye zhiqiao." He''s such a bastard!


    Bastard!!!


    Mother gu was still downstairs urging her, and the voices of su yanbai and su pan were mixed in. Everyone was so happy that it seemed as if gu mohan should be integrated, but unfortunately, he couldn''t.


    But even if he couldn''t, he couldn''t be so willful as to show su yanbai a cold face, because the su family agreed to change the marriage into an engagement, and su yanbai begged for the credit of su''s father. Moreover, the situation of the gu family had improved, so he couldn''t tear down the bridge.


    Alas...


    Not sure how many times he sighed, gu mohan rubbed his numb chest, put on a custom-made suit expressionless, and pushed the door open.


    "The gu group''s situation has taken a turn for the better recently, and the stock prices have gone up like crazy. At the same time, the engagement between gu mohan and su yanbai, the eldest miss of the su family, was also on the agenda. However, while people from all walks of life were blessing each other, there were also some discordant voices suggesting that gu mohan had no emotional foundation in order to save the business marriage between gu and su yanbai..."


    The announcer was still following the script and talking in a high-pitched voice. Ye zhiqiao, who was bending over to wash the dishes by the pool, was pinned to the spot for a long time without moving.


    She was recalling what the announcer had just said. Was gu mohan about to get engaged to su yanbai?


    They were about to... Get engaged, really fast.


    A bowl, a plate, and a pair of chopsticks were still soaked in the water mixed with foam, but ye zhiqiao had no desire to continue. She smeared her hands on her apron in a mess, then absent-mindedly pushed back to her seat beside her.


    At some point in time, the first tear slid down her face and landed on her hand.


    The warm and warm touch, however, brought down more tears, one after another, like beans.


    Ye zhiqiao did not move, had no expression, did not make a sound, and cried quietly, like every time she went to her mother''s tombstone.


    The doorbell rang for a long time, but she didn''t hear it at all.


    Fortunately, jian mengqi brought the spare key that she gave her, so she opened the door and came in by herself. After searching around the house, she finally saw her in the kitchen.


    She sat up straight with her arms crossed over her legs. From behind, she thought it was a sculpture. She walked up to the front and saw tears streaming down her face.


    "What''s the matter?!"


    Jian mengqi was so frightened that she cried out. She quickly squatted beside ye zhiqiao''s leg and pulled her hand and asked, "Why are you crying? What''s wrong with you? Didn''t you just break up? Didn''t you say you were fine? Why are you crying like a fool?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was speechless and just shook her head. Her eyes were red and swollen, like walnuts. She didn''t know how long she had been crying.


    The more jian mengqi looked at her, the more anxious she became. As she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, she turned around and suddenly saw the phone on the table.


    After picking it up and unlocking it - sure enough, the news of gu mohan''s engagement caught my eye!


    "Ye zhiqiao!" Jian mengqi "Teng" stood up, pointed at ye zhiqiao''s forehead with her fingers, and complained angrily, "Why are you looking at these?! Does it have anything to do with you? What a loser!!"


    "I knew you wouldn''t cry like this for no reason! You didn''t even call me. You''re crying all by yourself. What''s wrong with you?!"


    "Didn''t you swear that it had nothing to do with him anymore? Then why are you looking at him? Why are you crying? Talk?!"


    First, she scolded ye zhiqiao, but then she scolded herself for wanting to cry with ye zhiqiao, so she turned around and started to scold gu mohan.


    "The gu family doesn''t have anything good. Except for little treasure, they don''t have anything good in their family! If you''re engaged, then get engaged. Why is it disgusting to send the news?! Who didn''t know that gu mohan was a soft eater, relying on the su family''s help and pretending to be a harmonious-sounding qin? Oh!"


    I didn''t expect that jian mengqi would be fine if she didn''t say it. She helped ye zhiqiao to speak. Ye zhiqiao was sad and moved, and she cried even more. It was useless to let jian mengqi continue to comfort her.


    Jian mengqi was not good at coaxing people. She was always angry and angry. She laughed when she was happy and went straight ahead. She was distressed by the way ye zhiqiao cried so quietly that she could not see clearly. She slammed the door and left!


    With a bang, ye zhiqiao was the only one left in the room.


    After she finished crying, she sat there for a long time, then suddenly got up and went back to the bedroom, taking out the drawing board and paint that hadn''t moved for many days.


    It was too painful to stay like this, and her heart was so stuffy that it hurt, so she wanted to find something to do and distract herself. After all, she couldn''t live in pain forever.


    And now she really wanted to draw a wedding dress, a white, holy, elegant wedding dress that she could wear when she got married.


    When su yanbai and gu mohan got married... They could wear it.


    She was no longer destined to marry gu mohan, but gu mohan would still have a wife. If his wife could wear the wedding dress she designed, could it be considered that there was still a connection between her and him?


    This idea seemed a little extreme, but she was sure that she would never be the third party who destroyed other people''s families, just to fulfill her wishes, or selfish intentions, in the name of a designer.


    Even if someone objected to such a humble idea, she would not change it.


    Outside the window, it was drizzling with rain. Inside the window, ye zhiqiao set up the easel, adjusted the color, and picked up the pen without thinking. The picture that had been in her mind for a long time fell on the paper. It was the way she looked in her wedding dress, standing side by side with gu mohan.

 Chapter 416 A Heartless Man

    On the other side, jian mengqi stormed out of ye zhiqiao''s apartment and rushed to gu mohan''s company.


    Although she hated ye zhiqiao for being so unlucky, she was her best friend. Gu mohan had bullied her people, and now she wanted to be the president of the review group and happily marry a beautiful wife. It was a dream!


    "Gu mohan!!"


    Look, even god helped her when she was doing justice. Just as jian mengqi entered the gu family gate, she bumped into gu mohan who was going out to meet his clients.


    She shouted and all the staff in the hall looked sideways.


    Gu mohan stopped and looked at her calmly.


    Now, how could gu mohan act as if he had nothing to do with it?! Seeing this, jian mengqi was even more furious. She threw herself at him and punched him in the chest.


    The "Weak" jian mengqi could not shake gu mohan at all. Gu mohan was still standing upright and his face was still calm, as if nothing had happened just now.


    Jian mengqi gnashed her teeth in hatred, pointed at him with her finger and glared at him, "Why aren''t you talking? Huh?! You know you''re ignoring me so you don''t dare to say anything, do you? I''m telling you, it''s no use pretending to be dumb! Tomorrow, I will post all the things you did on the internet. If you make ye zhiqiao sad, I will not let you feel better!"


    Facing jian mengqi, who was so angry that she jumped, gu mohan could not feel a ripple in his heart. He even felt that... Jian mengqi was right to scold, or he could scold more fiercely.


    If he was more shameless, he still hoped that ye zhiqiao would come and scold him. In that case, he would have a reason to look at ye zhiqiao again.


    Thinking of ye zhiqiao''s occasional tantrum when they were together, gu mohan unconsciously put on a smile.


    When jian mengqi saw him laughing, she was startled at first, then she became furious and said, "Okay, you. I scolded you and made you feel better. Are you still laughing? You still have the face to smile?! Hmph - but that''s right. Who are you? You are the head of the great gu group, the son of heaven! Holding ye zhi qiao is just like a toy. Okay, you can do it, you can do it!"


    "But it''s just pity for that fool..." Jian mengqi pursed her lips and her eyes turned red with a sneer, "That fool thought he had found love. He was thinking of your good and wouldn''t say anything bad about you. What did she want?"


    Yes, ye zhiqiao was stupid. It was really stupid to give him a heart.


    Gu mohan let out a slow breath, but his chest became more and more congested, like the gloomy weather outside the company, unable to find the exit to release.


    "I''ll send it back to you in a minute, little treasure. I can look down on your children. I''d better let su yanbai take care of them for you."


    Speaking of su yanbai, jian mengqi was once again filled with evil fire, "What else does su yanbai have besides a rich father? Can you rest assured that little treasure will be given to her? Oh, maybe she will give you a child too, right? Oh, what a joke! Ye zhiqiao almost drained all her blood to save little treasure. In a flash, you''re going to have a baby with someone else!"


    "What did you say? What blood draw?" From what jian mengqi said, gu mohan first heard about ye zhiqiao''s blood transfusion for little treasure.


    But even if he knew, it was too late.


    "Stop pretending, you..."


    "Mengqi!"


    Jian mengqi was about to continue lecturing gu mohan when Qin Baiye suddenly ran in from the door and stopped her.


    The protagonist of the quarrel was gu mohan, and the staff didn''t dare to watch the show openly, but they were also secretly observing. Qin Baiye winked at gu mohan to let him go first, then grabbed jian mengqi and said, "Mengqi, come back with me. Isn''t ye zhiqiao in a bad mood? Let''s go and see her."


    Before jian mengqi could finish her scolding, she naturally refused to give in. She threw away Qin Baiye and scolded, "Don''t touch me! Are you still helping him? Still helping this heartless man, right?!"


    "He''s my friend, and he has his reasons." .


    The people around him saw how much and how much gu mohan had abandoned in this matter.


    Jian mengqi also understood, but this is not an excuse to be forgiven.


    "Ye zhiqiao is also my friend!" She roared, tears streaming down her face, "I''ve seen how miserable her life was before. If I hadn''t... Felt that gu mohan could give her happiness, I wouldn''t have agreed to let her be with a... A man with a child, but what happened?"


    In front of Qin Baiye, jian mengqi''s hard shell crumbled.


    Qin Baiye''s heart suddenly ached. He raised his hand and took the sobbing jian mengqi into his arms. He said in a soft voice, "I understand. I understand. Let''s go home, shall we?"


    "You are no longer allowed to talk to gu mohan and help him!"


    As Qin Baiye carried her out, jian mengqi scolded gu mohan.


    Qin Baiye naturally complied and coaxed her as softly as a kitten.


    When she returned home, she calmed down and sent little treasure back home. After seeing su yanbai, who was sitting like a hostess in the gu mansion, her anger reached its peak again.


    She had no reason to fight with su yanbai, so she called ye zhiqiao to tell her about sending little treasure back home, and to recount what she had scolded gu mohan at the gu building in order to make her happy together.


    However, after hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao did not have her excitement at all.


    Was gu mohan scolded or in the company, if someone knew, would there be any unnecessary trouble?


    If the people of the su family knew about this, would they put gu mohan in a difficult position?


    And gu mohan himself, who should he tell if he feels bad about being in trouble and being scolded in front of his subordinates?


    Ye zhiqiao understood that with her current status, it was pointless to worry about how much she felt, but as long as she thought about gu mohan, who was so tall, and his cold face, who was blocked by jian mengqi at the door and scolded, she couldn''t help but want to cry. That feeling was even worse than hearing gu mohan say that she had broken up.


    On the drawing paper in front of her, the intricate design of the elegant wedding dress had already taken shape. Ye zhiqiao gently stroked the fabric around her and advised herself not to think about it anymore.


    Silk, satin, lace, Eugen, all kinds of high quality fabrics have been piling up here for a long time. The process of making the wedding dress is complicated and time-consuming.


    This wedding dress, she wanted to give it to su yanbai as a gift to congratulate them on their engagement.


    So that su yanbai could... Wear it at the wedding.

 Chapter 417 Tomorrow Will Be Even Harder

    "Little treasure, do you like this? You didn''t eat much for dinner just now. Your father said you weren''t in good health and couldn''t stop eating."


    Mother gu held a piece of fruit cake in front of little treasure and shook it again and again. At least, little treasure refused to give him any light.


    "Little treasure, you are five years old and a big child. You can''t be so ignorant. Grandma is kind to give you cake. You have to promise even if you don''t eat it. It''s especially rude now." Su yanbai was watching tv with a watermelon in her hand. She turned around and said," it''s not salty."


    There was no dinner made by aunt ye and father, no snacks bought by aunt jian and uncle qin, and nothing, so little treasure had no appetite at all.


    And although five-year-old little treasure was more sensible than many children of the same age, she was always loved as a treasure by ye zhiqiao. Ye zhiqiao occasionally taught her, but the method used was much more intimate than su yanbai.


    In the end, even if all the factors in front of him were removed, little treasure still didn''t like su yanbai and didn''t like her from the bottom of his heart!


    Ye zhiqiao told her to treat people equally, but su yanbai couldn''t face it no matter what.


    Because in her heart, it was because of su yanbai that father and aunt ye separated. She only wanted aunt ye to be her mother!


    So after hearing su yanbai''s words, little treasure immediately pouted and asked mother gu, "Grandma, when will my father come back? I want dad. I want dad to take me to aunt ye!"


    "Bang!"


    As soon as little treasure finished speaking, su yanbai threw back the cup that she had just picked up and spilled a lot of fruit and tea inside.


    Ye zhiqiao now, in the gu and su family is a minefield, except for gu mohan and little treasure, no one wants to hear this name, especially su yanbai!


    Seeing this, mother gu quickly pulled little treasure aside and deliberately taught him a serious lesson, "Without aunt ye, there will be no aunt ye in the future! Your father is going to have an engagement party with aunt su the day after tomorrow, and the wedding will be planned as soon as possible. Be good and don''t mess with adults."


    "...


    Little treasure blinked his eyes for a moment, then burst into tears, twisted his body and shouted, "No, no! No auntie su, no auntie ye... I want auntie ye to be my mother... As long as auntie ye..."


    Little treasure cried as he shouted, while su yan''s face on the sofa became increasingly pale.


    The stability of the gu family still depended on the su family. Mother gu could not offend su yanbai and tried her best to satisfy her in every way. However, xiao bao was gu mohan''s heart. Gu mohan had already made the biggest concession by giving up ye zhiqiao. If something went wrong with xiao bao, he would definitely not let it go.


    She had only heard of men being in a difficult situation between their mothers and wives before, but now she had a rare experience in a hundred years. She felt so tired, but she couldn''t let go.


    Just as gu mother was racking her brain to think how to ease the relationship between su yanbai and xiao bao, a horn suddenly sounded outside the villa.


    The honking was irregular and extremely harsh. She knew it was gu mohan who had returned.


    He forgot that from one day on, gu mohan, who had pretended to be fine, suddenly stopped working. He did not step on the door of the company, nor did he say anything about the company''s affairs. He left early and returned late every day, always reeking of alcohol when he returned. Occasionally, he was carried back by the driver unconscious.


    After sending someone to follow her, mother gu found out that gu mohan had gone to the bar.


    In the bar, he only ordered wine and drank. He didn''t say or do anything superfluous. From morning till night, he threw up when he couldn''t drink. After he threw up, he slept on the table for a while and continued drinking...


    He felt bad in his heart, so he numbed himself with alcohol and tortured his body to repay his guilt for ye zhiqiao. Mother gu did not know how to persuade him, nor could she.


    After a series of crackling noises, gu mohan finally staggered in with the help of the housekeeper. When he saw a few people in the living room, he even pulled the corners of his mouth and chuckled.


    Little treasure cried even more when he saw such a dispirited father.


    Mother gu and su yanbai went up to help him, and he waved them away. He could not hear su yanbai''s complaints and mother gu''s distressed questions, so he walked to little treasure with crooked steps.


    When he squatted down, he almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, little treasure helped him in time.


    "Little treasure... Burp... Be good..."


    He burped and a strong, pungent smell came out. Little treasure wrinkled his face and said, "Daddy stinks. Daddy stinks!"


    "Stink?" Gu mohan picked up the collar of his colorless shirt and sniffed at it. He could not help but retch and almost vomit. However, before entering the door, he had already retched with a stone pillar in his arms, and his stomach was already clean.


    "Dad is a little... Smelly..." He giggled a few times. He had forgotten what he wanted to say to little treasure when he walked over just now. He touched little treasure''s head and said again, "Little treasure is so good. It''s dad''s... Good daughter."


    With that said, he staggered up the stairs without anyone''s help. He almost tripped when he came in, and when the door closed, there was no sound.


    Su yanbai went home, and then little treasure was taken back to his room by the housekeeper to sleep. Gu father and his people were at the company to help gu Mohan with his affairs. Gu mother stood alone in the spacious and luxurious living room. For the first time, she felt lonely.


    No one else saw it, but she could see it clearly. When gu mohan passed by just now, tears filled her eyes.


    That was her son. Even if he was not close to her, he was always the opposite of her, but that was her own son. How could a mother not be distressed when she changed from a gentleman to a ghost?


    But life was like this. She had given up on her son''s happiness for the sake of a better life. It was already a fact. Even if she wanted to go back on her word, it was too late. And... She should not regret her decision.


    Even if today is sad and sad, maybe tomorrow will be even harder.


    After the day and night changed, in anticipation, the engagement banquet of the gu and su families began.


    Yes, it wasn''t gu mohan and su yanbai''s, it was the engagement banquet of the gu and su families. Even the headlines of the news and entertainment newspapers were congratulatory words for the marriage of the two families. These two people were just synonyms for the two families.


    The turmoil, the means, the willingness and the unwillingness behind it did not matter. What was left for outsiders to see was just a grand and luxurious banquet.

 Chapter 418 Engagement Banquet

    Auditorium, flowers, red wine, balloons, suits, dresses...


    Smiling, drinking and chatting...


    The engagement banquet was no different from the usual variety of banquets, except that there was an exaggeration by the host and two more leading characters standing in the spotlight on the stage.


    Su yanbai was brimming with bubbles of happiness. She expressed her excitement and nervousness shyly. She also briefly introduced her imaginary acquaintance with gu mohan. When the supporter handed the microphone to gu mohan, she immediately put on her guard.


    Gu mohan took the microphone and gave a cursory nod to the audience, then said in a calm voice, "Thank you for coming to this banquet. Please have fun and don''t be restrained."


    When these two soft thank you words fell, the host was shocked and thought, why didn''t gu always follow the written words?


    However, the host''s immediate reaction was quick, and he immediately took the lead, using words like "The groom is too nervous to know what to say," to cover the awkwardness of these few seconds, and then announced happily to the next segment.


    According to the arrangement, the next segment was a speech by gu mohan and su yanbai''s close friends.


    Gu mohan, of course, had his father and Qin Baiye on his side. He was very good at dealing with this kind of situation, and after a few words, the guests and the masters were happy. Although Qin Baiye only said a few words perfunctorily, he was still within the scope of the matter and did not make others feel uncomfortable.


    But on su yanbai''s side, as soon as father su came down from the stage, su yanbai raised a single moth.


    She said that she had a lot of good friends, all of whom were close friends. It was not good to let anyone go on stage or not, so she prepared to change the way.


    The host was stunned again and asked with a forced smile, "So miss su... What would you like to do?"


    Su yanbai took the microphone with a bright smile, and her smiling eyes swept over the audience and said, "Everyone has brought gifts today. I like them very much, and one of them is especially to my liking. I think that since I have been given such a meaningful gift, it must be the most profound blessing for me and Mohan, so I would like to invite the master of the gift to come up on stage and personally express his blessing in front of me, Mohan and all my friends and family."


    After a moment of silence, the auditorium began to whisper. Everyone was discussing what the gift was and who the person who gave it was.


    In the curious eyes of the crowd, su yanbai smiled happily and slowly said a name: "Ye - zhi - qiao." !!!


    In the corner, ye zhiqiao, who was holding a tall cup in a daze, trembled all over and nearly dropped the cup.


    Then she looked up at the stage in a daze.


    Otherwise, he met a deep gaze.


    After a moment of shock, she turned her eyes away and looked at su yanbai on the side of the person.


    Ye zhiqiao, come on stage and tell me why you sent me the wedding dress. I saw that wedding dress. It''s really beautiful. If I wasn''t afraid that there would be no surprise when we got married, I would have put it on now!" Su yanbai greeted her warmly, but there was no hint of scheming between her eyes.


    All the eyes in the auditorium gathered. It seemed impossible for ye zhiqiao not to stand up at this moment.


    She put the cup down gently and stroked the edge of her skirt. Just as she was about to get up, a hand suddenly covered her leg.


    "Don''t go!" Jian mengqi''s face was red, but in front of so many people, she could only drink ye zhiqiao in a low voice.


    Ye zhiqiao comforted her with a smile and patted her hand. She took the time to get up and whispered in her ear, "There has to be an end. It''s not good for anyone to drag it down."


    Between her and su yanbai, there must be a positive confrontation as the transition between her ex-girlfriend and fiancee.


    In the eyes of others who were either curious, teasing, or looking forward to it, ye zhiqiao pulled the hem of her long skirt and walked step by step towards the two newcomers on the stage.


    After the casual look she had just made, she did not look at Mohan again, maintaining the proper distance between the two people who had nothing to do with each other.


    Gu Mohan did not look at ye zhiqiao anymore, but there was only one reason - because his heart would ache.


    Ye zhiqiao naturally stood on the outside of su yanbai and nodded to the audience, with a gentle smile on her face, which was as beautiful as a painting. Such an indifferent and elegant appearance completely tarnished su yan, who was wearing too much makeup but was not as good as her.


    However, su yanbai was not in the mood to pay attention to those things. The only thing she wanted to do at this time was to use all her strength and ruthlessly kill ye zhiqiao''s mind, so that ye zhiqiao could understand that gu mohan was only su yanbai''s from now on!


    In gu mohan''s world, she was the only legitimate wife!


    She took ye zhiqiao''s hand and said, as if sharing joy with her best friend, "Zhiqiao, the wedding dress you gave me is so beautiful. Did you make it yourself? I can tell from looking at it that it''s definitely not available in china!"


    Not only can''t they be bought at home, but they can''t be bought abroad. If they were released, the value would be beyond expectations. How famous was ye zhiqiao''s design? Su yanbai still had some idea. The reason why she said that was because she wanted to step on ye zhiqiao.


    But ye zhiqiao never put the price and fame of her work in her heart, especially this wedding dress, which is priceless.


    "As long as you like it." Ye zhiqiao responded out of courtesy.


    However, su yanbai grasped the topic and continued to say, "I like it. I like it so much. Even Mohan said that I would definitely become the most beautiful bride in this wedding dress!"


    Gu mohan said?!


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously looked at gu mohan, who stood there expressionless, turning his body towards them, but his eyes did not know where to look.


    Of course, gu mohan did not say that, including the wedding dress, he did not give a look. Although it was made by ye zhiqiao himself, the result was that he was wearing it on another woman. He did not have such good cultivation, and if he saw it, he would want to destroy it with his own hands!


    After a short silence, ye zhiqiao stiffly withdrew her gaze, then quietly withdrew her hand that su yanbai had caught and said with a light smile, "That''s good. You all like... That''s good."


    After that, she walked down the stage, her appearance still beautiful, but her back was lonely, not as confident as before.


    After sitting down, jian mengqi came over at the first time. She wanted to blame her for "Overestimating her strength, being soft in her ears, and listening to what others say," but the words came to her lips and became, "Let her be proud for a while longer. Only when she stands tall can she fall miserably!"

 Chapter 419 Yi Chen Proposed Again

    Ye zhiqiao pulled the corner of her mouth at jian mengqi to show that she understood her intentions.


    But at this moment, no matter what others said, ye zhiqiao could not be truly calm. After all, the person standing on the stage was her favorite person, but after today''s engagement party, she and he were really going to be strangers.


    In order to show off their intimate feelings with gu mohan and to show off to ye zhiqiao, su yanbai took out the wedding dress and pushed it onto the stage to show off to everyone.


    The luxurious and elegant white dress brought its beauty to the extreme under the spotlight. The reporters who had come to collect entertainment gossip couldn''t help but look at the wedding dress, and the photographer didn''t listen to the photos.


    Ye zhiqiao sat quietly on the sofa, her chin propped up by her palm, and looked at the wedding dress through the crowd. Her eyes were distant and indifferent, as if she had isolated the whole world.


    On the other side of the auditorium, yi chen was staring at her deeply. His expression was completely different from hers, warm, excited and nervous.


    Ever since ye zhiqiao was invited to the stage by su yanbai, yi chen has been looking at her so intently, but she has never noticed it.


    But it doesn''t matter, yi chen thought, whether ye zhiqiao noticed him or not, it doesn''t matter, as long as she can forget gu mohan!


    She did not object to gu mohan and su yanbai''s engagement. She even gave su yanbai a wedding dress as a gift and even gave her blessings on stage, which proved that even if she could not forget gu mohan for the time being, she would give up on him and no longer have any illusions about him.


    As long as there are these, yi chen is satisfied.


    Because this proved that he had another chance to approach ye zhiqiao. Without gu mohan, he was the only man around ye zhiqiao!


    In the corner far from the crowd and the dazzling light source, jian mengqi was trying to persuade ye zhiqiao to leave. Yi chen''s appearance interrupted their conversation.


    "I''m sorry, miss jane. May I have a word with zhiqiao?"


    Dressed in a formal suit and waxed, yi chen looked exceptionally mature and elegant today, completely different from his usual cynical look.


    His thoughts about ye zhiqiao were already well known. Although the previous public proposal made ye zhiqiao somewhat embarrassed, but other than that, he had never done anything out of the ordinary, and jian mengqi was not averse to him.


    In addition, he had helped ye zhiqiao and others a little, and Qin Baiye had a good evaluation of him, so jian mengqi also became more fond of him.


    So when the conversation was interrupted, jian mengqi did not show any impatience. She nodded her head happily and then took a seat beside her to make room for the two of them.


    Yi chen thanked him politely and sat down beside ye zhiqiao.


    "What''s the matter?"


    Ye zhiqiao was not in the mood to socialize and talk, so she asked directly.


    Yi chen raised his eyebrows and smiled. He took a big gulp of champagne from the table, then stuck out his tongue and said with a funny look, "Why do you think I''m not used to this kind of wine? It''s better than beer and white wine!"


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at the empty goblet and said faintly, "Because you didn''t taste it seriously."


    "Yeah, that''s true."


    Yi chen nodded, a meaningful smile hanging from the corner of his mouth agreeing, "I used to be like this. Like is like, don''t like is not like, for things that I don''t like are always abandoned like an open shoe, refused to give myself a chance to try, so I missed a lot of good things, I always regret it after thinking about it."


    His words sounded fine, and even meaningful, but the mood was the same, ye zhiqiao immediately understood his pun.


    But wine is wine, and emotion is emotion, so it is impossible to compare.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to continue discussing this with him, so she mumbled, "It''s just a glass of wine. Master yi can never touch it if he doesn''t like it. It''s not so serious."


    "I don''t like it when you call me that." Yi chen waved his hand and turned his head to stare at ye zhiqiao. In the light and darkness, his eyes were unusually bright.


    "Young master yi, you''ve distanced yourself from the relationship. It''s understandable that you had a boyfriend before, but now you''re free to give yourself a chance to try."


    Just as he tried champagne that he didn''t like, she could try something that she didn''t hate.


    The two looked at each other from a distance beyond their friends. One was excited and tempted, while the other was as calm as water.


    This is how you don''t like it. No matter how close you are, no matter how many touching words you say, it won''t stir up any waves in your heart.


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously recalled the sweet time she spent with gu mohan, cooking in the kitchen, the smell of fireworks in the room and the noise of boiling water. The occasional eye contact made her heart beat faster and her face red.


    "Yi chen, I..."


    During the time she was immersed in memories, yi chen suddenly got up and went around her feet to kneel down.


    Such a familiar scene, ye zhiqiao reflexively wanted to get up and avoid!


    However, it was too late. Yi chen''s hand had already pressed on her knee. Without exerting any force, she could not get up.


    "Give me a chance. Ye zhiqiao, can you give me a chance? Marry me and let me give you happiness!"


    "Yichen!" Some of the guests nearby noticed the movement and were turning around one after another. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to cause any more trouble, especially at gu mohan''s engagement party. She wanted to drink to stop yichen''s crazy behavior.


    But yi chen remained motionless, kneeling straight like a sculpture, looking up at her, humble and emotional.


    "Ye zhiqiao, haven''t you forgotten him? It doesn''t matter. Even if I haven''t forgotten, I can accept it, as long as you give me a chance. I may not be able to satisfy you completely, but I promise I won''t hurt you like he did. If I were in the same position, I would rather give up all my wealth than leave you!"


    What he said was exactly what ye zhiqiao had always wanted to escape, to be the one who was abandoned in the two choices. The feeling of sadness and helplessness was like a collision in a dead end and never finding an exit.


    So yi chen would never be her exit.


    There were more and more spectators, until the two main characters who came down from the stage to toast also followed the crowd to look this way.


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly became flustered. She hurriedly brushed away yi chen''s hand and got up. She didn''t know where to put her eyes. She only said in a hurry, "No... No, thank you but I''m sorry!"


    With that, she lifted her long skirt and ran to the side of the auditorium in a panic.

 Chapter 420 Su Yanbai Was Overjoyed

    The scene instantly fell silent, and the guests who had been whispering in curiosity also stopped, looking at yi chen with pity, ridicule, and sympathy.


    Yi chen did not care about the eyes of others. He had developed his confidence from his comfortable life, so he was never defeated by an opponent, but by someone who cared.


    Ye zhiqiao was the person he cared about the most, but also the person who hurt him the most.


    One confession was rejected, two proposals were rejected, both in front of a large number of outsiders, yi chen was not shy and did not regret, just lost.


    Regardless of whether gu mohan existed or not, ye zhiqiao was unwilling to choose him. Why on earth?


    Although he used to be stubborn and unruly, he had tried his best to change for ye zhiqiao. Could ye zhiqiao not see these? Or even if she saw it, she didn''t care at all?


    The onlookers gradually dispersed and continued their previous courtesies. Yi chen''s ridiculous proposal was no different from a play in their eyes. It was like a change in the boring life and could be forgotten in a turn.


    Yi chen propped up the sofa that ye zhiqiao had just sat on and stood up from the ground. The floor covered with a red carpet was very clean, but he still reached out and patted his pants in a daze. The quality of the fabric did not crease and was restored to its original level, as if nothing had happened.


    He sighed unconsciously and was about to turn away when he faced his smiling face.


    "Not going to visit my prospective husband?" Yi chen pretended to look at gu Mohan''s position and asked deliberately.


    Su yanbai snorted and laughed. Her lips, which were covered in bright lipstick, pulled down to one side. She picked up her arms and said, "It''s all in her bag anyway. I can''t stand by and watch it all the time. It''s a good show on your side. I''m afraid I have to come over and join in the fun!"


    She was proud to have achieved her goal, so she took yi chen''s loneliness as a good show.


    "Ha... Are you kidding me?" Yi chen curled his lips, rarely not smiling as usual, "You are ready to tear down the bridge and kill the donkey!"


    When they worked together, su yanbai said all sorts of things, putting them in the same category. She bitterly said that everyone was infatuated, but now she turned her back on herself.


    However, su yanbai never had any good virtue of being honest and trustworthy. Besides, cooperation is something that benefits both parties. Is it her fault that yi chen can''t keep ye zhiqiao?


    Su yanbai turned her head to look in gu mohan''s direction. Seeing that he was still toasting to his nearest partner and did not notice the two of them, she frowned fiercely and said to yi chen, "Mind your own mouth. It''s your own business to be inferior to others everywhere. If you dare to let gu mohan know about those things between us, I want you to look good!"


    It turned out that she was afraid that gu mohan would know that she was a vicious woman who would do anything to achieve her goal.


    Yi chen shook his head speechlessly and curled his mouth, "If you don''t want others to know, don''t do it yourself. The primary school teacher didn''t teach you that. You think gu Mohan is a fool, and you can''t see the tricks you used behind your back?"


    He leaned over to su yanbai''s ear and lowered his voice in a deep and cold voice, "You should be on your own. Don''t be too proud. Maybe one day when I''m not in a good mood, I''ll invite gu mohan for a drink. After I get drunk, I''ll talk nonsense. Do you know if that man likes you or not? If he finds out anything bad about you, do you think he''ll still want you?"


    The last note of the song raised the cold sweat on su yanbai''s back.


    She was so proud that she forgot what kind of person yi chen was, that she forgot that yi chen''s harmlessness was only effective for ye zhiqiao, and for others, it would always be retribution.


    Seeing that she was so frightened, yi chen hooked his ears in a dull manner and stood up again. He wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but he gave up the moment he saw her in a bra dress. He smiled and turned away, as if he thought she looked less beautiful in a dress than ye zhi qiao.


    Su yanbai stared straight at his back with an ambiguous gaze.


    "Wah -"


    In the bathroom, the sound of water stopped abruptly. Ye zhiqiao dried the water stains on her hands, looked at herself in her glasses, and then turned around to leave the door.


    After rejecting yi chen just now, she rushed into the bathroom and calmed down in the cubicle for a long time before finally getting ready to go out and see someone.


    In fact, she knew that although yi chen''s proposal attracted the attention of everyone, everything must have calmed down by now. Maybe people didn''t even see her face clearly.


    Besides the reporters who came to attend the engagement banquet, they were the partners who wanted to have a good relationship with gu''s su family. It was too late for them to flatter gu mohan and su yanbai. There was no time for her and yi chen''s episode.


    However, gu mohan just saw yi chen''s proposal, which made her a little embarrassed, or... Disappointed.


    Because gu mohan stood there calmly from start to finish, looking at them the same way as any couple who proposed on the street. She even felt that if she really agreed to yi chen, gu mohan would not have any reaction.


    As the head of the gu family, gu mohan looked really strange.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and pushed open the white door in front of her -


    "Aunt ye!"


    Unlike the expected calm, before she could look into the corner, a small ball fell on her lap.


    After not seeing her for a few days, ye zhiqiao had already thought about it, so she immediately squatted down and hugged little treasure into her arms. Regardless of whether she was wearing lipstick or not, she kissed her soft face hard.


    "Little treasure, when did you come? I didn''t see you just now." After the intimacy, ye zhiqiao asked as she tidied up xiao bao''s messy bangs.


    Little treasure pointed to a door nearby and replied with a pout, "I''ve been staying in that room with my assistant uncle."


    "Hmm?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned, "Why didn''t you come out to play? There are so many delicious dishes!"


    Little treasure lowered his head, grabbed the hem of the princess dress uncomfortably, and stammered, "Grandma said... Aunt su doesn''t want little treasure to come out. If someone sees her... It''s not good."


    Not allowed to come out?!


    When ye zhiqiao heard this, she immediately became angry and asked with a calm face, "Why didn''t she let her? Gu mohan is your father. No one can deny you!"


    Little treasure was only five years old, and he loved to eat and play, but su yanbai could not even tolerate a five-year-old child. He was so harsh on her. It was conceivable what his status in the gu family was like!


    But...


    When ye zhiqiao thought about it, she suddenly let out her anger.

 Chapter 421 The Dark-faced Yi Shaozhi

    What does it have to do with her being an outsider? What''s the use of her resentment? Gu mohan would not listen to her anymore, nor would his mother, and su yanbai... Heh, it''s good that su yanbai didn''t take the initiative to find fault with her. How dare she bump into her?


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao''s expression had changed from anger to frustration, xiao bao took her hand and shook it to comfort her, "Aunt ye, don''t be upset. Aunt su didn''t bully xiao bao. Little treasure doesn''t like her. Daddy helps little treasure every time. Now it''s daddy who wants me to come out and play."


    "Little treasure..." The more sensible she was, the more upset ye zhiqiao felt.


    "Hehe, auntie ye, I''m hungry. Shall we go over there and have some snacks? Dad said he invited the best chef to make it. It''s delicious!"


    As he spoke, little treasure took ye zhiqiao''s hand and ran to the food section in the center of the auditorium with his short legs.


    I heard that eating sweets can make people feel better. I don''t know if it''s because I ate a piece of cake or because I have little treasure with me, ye zhiqiao''s mood has indeed been somewhat calmed down.


    Just as she picked up a cookie that looked weird and was about to invite little treasure to take a look at it, she suddenly realized that little treasure, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs dangling, was in a daze.


    "Little treasure?" She called out tentatively, but little treasure still remained in his original position, his expression blank, not knowing where to look.


    Ye zhiqiao followed her line of sight and saw gu mohan and su yanbai surrounded by a group of friends, as if they were being persuaded to have a drink and make a drink. Gu mohan could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but su yanbai was shy and sweet.


    Since they were already engaged, then the next step was definitely to get married, which was a natural thing to do. There was nothing inappropriate about trying to have a glass of wine in advance.


    Ye zhiqiao suppressed the inexplicable sour feeling and held little treasure''s head to make her turn to herself. Just as she was about to explain the inevitability of this matter to her, she suddenly stopped at the moment she opened her mouth.


    Little treasure''s big, dark eyes, which always sparkled with dexterity, were now filled with tears. In a blink of an eye, tears began to roll down.


    Little treasure actually... Cried!


    While eating the cake, little treasure, who was laughing so hard because of the cream on the tip of his nose, cried when he saw gu mohan and su yanbai standing together.


    In ye zhiqiao''s memory, except for a few accidents between her and gu mohan, little treasure almost never shed tears.


    While the other children were crying during the injection, they had to be surrounded by a few parents and doctors. But little treasure was always sitting there honestly. After the injection, he had to thank the nurse and aunt. Before the operation, he was pushed into the operating room alone and waved goodbye to her and gu mohan. Even at such a difficult time as a gastroscope examination, little treasure was forced to cry out pitifully while retching, never disturbing the doctor''s uncle''s work...


    How sad is such a strong child to cry when he is eating the cake that can bring people a good mood?


    When ye zhi happened to see her like this, she was speechless and hugged her in her arms.


    Go to his obedience, go to his understanding, a five-year-old child, why should he bear so much!


    She didn''t want to teach little treasure anything right now. She just wanted him to live happily every day.


    "Auntie ye..." Little treasure shrank into her arms and finally felt a sense of security that he hadn''t seen for a long time. He cried out without any scruples, "Auntie ye, little treasure doesn''t like auntie su... Not at all. She... Always frowns and stares... Always talks to little treasure in a very loud voice and doesn''t like her being with her father. Little treasure wants to... Want auntie ye to be little treasure''s mother... Don''t want auntie su..."


    That was what little treasure really thought.


    Gu mohan stayed in the bar all day long. Her father didn''t go home when he was working at the company, and her mother only cared about her three meals a day. She never had the chance to say these words to anyone. Even if she did, no one would take her experience as important as ye zhiqiao''s.


    But now that she had said it, ye zhiqiao was powerless to change all of this and could only be reminded of all the negative emotions she had accumulated over the past few days, and then shed tears with her.


    After today, the news of gu mohan and su yanbai''s engagement will spread all over the city. Wherever they go, they will be praised and envied by people. Ye zhiqiao is just one of the onlookers. Xiao bao is only the daughter of her ex-boyfriend. When she wants to see xiao bao again, she may not find a reason.


    The hall was filled with cheers and cheers, and no one noticed that in a dim corner, one big and one small were hugging each other and crying.


    For a long time, an angry roar suddenly broke everything!


    "Su yanbai!!!"


    Both ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were shocked, and their tears were held back by reflex. They raised their heads and looked at the source of the sound with the surprised crowd -


    The dark-faced yi shaozhi rushed in from the entrance of the auditorium, pushed aside the crowd in his way and walked straight to su yanbai.


    "Su yanbai, give me an explanation!" Yi shaozhi asked angrily as he grabbed su yanbai''s shoulder, which had turned pale from fright.


    Su yan''s face was pale, and she did not know where she had offended this young master yi. Subconsciously, she turned to gu mohan for help.


    Of course, gu mohan wouldn''t talk to her. She and yi shaozhi are the same kind, neither of them is good!


    Seeing gu Mohan leave coldly and continue to slowly taste the red wine, su yanbai had to force herself to deal with yi shao.


    "Yi shaozhi, what are you doing? I''m having an engagement party, so don''t mess around!" She pretended to be fierce, but her trembling lips betrayed her deeply.


    Yi shaozhi snorted and laughed. His face was even uglier than before. Then he grabbed her hand and dragged her out with big strides, "I can''t interrupt the engagement party, but I have to make things clear between you and me today. Otherwise, this marriage... Don''t think about it!"


    "Ahhh!!" Su yanbai''s slender arm was no match for his strength. After struggling for a moment, she felt that her wrist was about to break. She was in pain and fear. Finally, she could not help screaming.


    The people present were all well-known figures in the business world. They usually had more or less business dealings with yi shaozhi. Everyone had only seen his gentle side, and even his temper did not seem to have darkened.

 Chapter 422 Explosives!!

    "President yi, what happened? Today is a happy day. Let''s talk about it. Don''t be angry..."


    Among the guests, a company president who had a good relationship with yi shaozhi came forward to make peace and wanted yi shaozhi to let go of su yanbai first.


    However, yi shaozhi shook his hand fiercely and pushed the boss who was nearly half a hundred years old to stagger and almost hit the wine tower!


    "Don''t even come over! You don''t have to meddle!" He turned his head away and glared at su yanbai." No one can control what happens between me and her!" He said in a hateful voice."


    "What do I have to do with you?!"


    Yi shaozhi''s words were so ambiguous that it was easy for others to misunderstand him. Su yanbai quickly covered it up and said, "Are you going to make a scene at my engagement party? Alright, alright, whatever you want, I promise you. Now let go of me!"


    Business?


    Yi shaozhi was even angrier when he heard that!


    What business dealings did he have with su yanbai? Wasn''t it not the last time su yanbai took the initiative to find him and said she was going to work with him against gu mohan?


    Although he had agreed that he would deal with the gu family and then su yanbai would help gu mohan sell a favor, he did not expect su yanbai and the su family to be so shameless!


    According to the original plan, he could take this opportunity to make a big profit from it, and even if the gu family was rescued, it would no longer be the momentum of the past, but now the su family not only fully assisted gu family, but also with gu family to deal with the Yi''s in turn!


    Just then, su yanbai was getting engaged to gu mohan again!


    His feelings for su yanbai, others don''t know, she su yanbai herself don''t know! He paid so much for su yanbai, but in the end, he made a loss. How could he be willing?!


    It was always yi shaozhi who turned the tables on him. When had he ever been humiliated like this?


    Well, isn''t su yanbai being ruthless? Then let''s see who''s more ruthless!!


    Yi shaozhi''s eyes were splitting, and his pincer-like palm almost crushed su yanbai''s wrist, "Su yanbai, I''ll save face for you and go out with me to settle this. If not, don''t blame me for being rude!"


    As he spoke, he continued to drag su yanbai out.


    Su yanbai was both shocked and shocked. Father su and su pan had just gone to the break room to prepare for the engagement ceremony at 12 o'' clock. Besides gu mohan, the nominal fiance, there was no one close to her in the auditorium who could help her.


    But obviously, gu mohan did not want to get involved in this mess. Perhaps she was taken away by yi shaozhi and could not hold the ceremony, which was what gu mohan wanted to see the most!


    Yi shaozhi was still pulling her with brute force. Su yanbai could see his gloomy face from behind yi shaozhi. If he went out with him and they were alone, he might do something.


    If it were in the past, everything would be easy to say, even if yi shaozhi wanted her to sleep with him, but not now! Her colleagues and the media were all there. She left the auditorium with another man at the engagement banquet, and rumors would definitely spread. If gu mohan used this as an excuse to separate from her, wouldn''t she be a villain in vain?!


    Thinking of this, su yanbai shuddered and grabbed yi shaozhi''s arm like crazy. She bit him through the sleeve of her suit!


    "Ah!!" Yi shaozhi cried out in pain and subconsciously threw her away.


    Su yanbai naturally got out of his control and was about to turn back and run. Yi shaozhi suddenly shouted behind her, and at the same time, everyone screamed.


    That scream, which she had only heard in movies, was filled with horror.


    She suddenly stopped and quickly turned around. When she saw what yi shaozhi was like, a thunderbolt exploded in her ear!


    Her mind went blank for a few seconds, and her legs suddenly softened, and she sat directly on the ground.


    "Yi... Yi shaozhi, you... Don''t... Don''t get excited..." She shuddered for a long time before squeezing out the words.


    Yi shaozhi''s face was grim with laughter, and the suit he undid trembled with his movements, and a circle of explosives around his waist and abdomen was the focus of everyone''s nervousness!


    Yes, explosives! Explosives tied together, coiled around his waist!!


    A fuse stretched out from the end of the explosive, and he held a lighter in his hand, facing it. With a slight movement of his finger, the entire auditorium would fall apart in an instant!


    After the initial shock, the onlookers finally came to their senses. Then, screams and cries for help were heard everywhere. The people who ran for their lives were completely flustered. Before they could tell the direction, they pushed each other and fled. This time, the auditorium was completely "Lively."


    Fortunately, although yi shaozhi was crazy, he did not make things difficult for others. No matter how they ran, he only stared at su yanbai with his scarlet eyes.


    Su yanbai''s face was already colorless, and her bright red lips looked extremely frightening at the moment. Occasionally, someone stepped over her, but she didn''t dare to run. She looked at yi shaozhi with fear and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Shaozhi, don''t do this. I''m wrong... I know I''m really wrong... Calm down... Take that thing away first, okay?"


    "What did you call me? Call me shaozhi? Ha ha ha ha..." Yi shaozhi raised his head and laughed a few times, then stopped laughing abruptly and asked sternly, "Now you know you''re scared. It''s too late! Why didn''t you think it would be today when you were playing with me?!"


    "I didn''t... I didn''t play with you and I didn''t lie to you. I... It''s all my fault, okay? Put that thing down and I''ll go out with you... Will you let me live... I don''t want to die..."


    The terrified su yanbai was already incoherent. She looked around in the chaotic crowd, hoping to find someone to save her, but the well-dressed upper class were too busy to care about themselves at the moment. Who would speak up for her at all costs?


    The scene was still chaotic. The security guards called the police as soon as they heard there were explosives, but it would take some time for the explosion police to arrive.


    Hearing someone call the police, yi shaozhi lost his patience and shouted, "Whoever dares to take another step out, you will all be buried with me!" After that, everyone in the room was silent. Although their eyes were moving between yi shaozhi and the door, no one dared to run to the door.


    In the corner, ye zhiqiao withdrew her gaze to observe yi shaozhi, bent down and whispered to little treasure, "You sit here next to the wall. Don''t walk around. Auntie, go over there and come back right away."


    She pointed at yi shaozhi''s location.


    Little treasure was short and could not see the scene in the distance from the crowd, but the child''s sensitivity made her realize that danger was happening at this moment, so she grabbed the corner of ye zhiqiao''s clothes, frowned and shook her head.

 Chapter 423 Suspected of Kidnapping

    "Auntie ye, don''t go. I''m afraid."


    "Don''t be afraid, little treasure. Continue eating here. When you finish eating this cake, auntie will be back."


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed little treasure''s face and got up to walk towards the restless direction.


    Yi shaozhi''s mood was on the verge of breaking down at the moment. Any words or expressions from the people around him could make him lose his mind. Persuasion was definitely useless, but at this time, someone who knew him well and knew his psychological knowledge must be beside him, which might be able to alleviate the situation.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know much about yi shaozhi, but when she was abroad, she had been exposed to psychological things, and now, she could only live and die.


    She slowly moved closer to yi shaozhi, trying not to make a big noise to avoid irritating him. Just as she was about to squeeze into the crowd, a hand suddenly fell on her shoulder.


    "Come back!"


    Gu mohan lowered his voice but ordered in a serious tone.


    Ye zhiqiao looked up at him. She could not believe that the closest contact after the breakup was actually under such circumstances. She wanted to maintain her calm, but she couldn''t help but ask sourly, "My fiancee is being threatened. If you don''t save her, you won''t let others go?"


    Gu mohan''s face darkened when he heard her, but this was not the time to get tangled up. He held her in his arms and led her to the end of the crowd.


    "You can protect yourself, you don''t have to save others."


    Just now, after seeing ye zhiqiao''s intention, god knows how scared gu mohan was. Would someone as arrogant and extreme as yi shaozhi listen to others?!


    He wanted to give ye zhiqiao a stern warning not to be so reckless in the future, but he could not help but soften his voice and add, "Even if you want to protect others, you must first ensure your own safety."


    Ye zhiqiao used to be so familiar with such tender and affectionate eyes, but now... They belong to her.


    "You don''t have to worry about my safety." She replied deliberately coldly, then struggled to push him away.


    Gu mohan knew why ye zhiqiao rejected him so much and understood that it was not appropriate for him to do this as he was now, but when he saw the sadness in ye zhiqiao''s eyes, he couldn''t help but raise his hand again and hold ye zhiqiao in his arms.


    This scene happened to be seen by yi chen on the other side of the diagonals.


    He was rejected by ye zhiqiao and ran to the balcony to relax. When he suddenly heard of the chaos in the auditorium, he rushed over immediately. He didn''t expect to see his big brother before he saw this scene.


    Unable to tell what it was like, anger, unwillingness, disappointment... All kinds of emotions mixed together, he even wanted to rush over and punch gu mohan hard, asking him if he didn''t want ye zhiqiao? Wasn''t she engaged to someone else? Then why didn''t you let ye zhiqiao go?!


    But in the end, he held back.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t have him in her heart, so she was rejected at most once more, and now the most important thing is yi shaozhi and explosives. Only by calming yi shaozhi can ye zhiqiao''s safety be guaranteed.


    If you can''t be with her, you still have to protect her.


    Yi chen took a deep breath, turned his head and walked straight into the crowd.


    Everyone present knew the relationship between yi chen and yi shaozhi. When they saw him coming, they spontaneously made way for him.


    Yi chen did not squint, his steps were steady and his expression was calm.


    Yi shaozhi, on the other hand, looked at him as if he had seen a ghost and asked him uneasily, "Why are you here? This is not where you should stay. Hurry up and leave!"


    "You come with me." Yi chen asked.


    Yi shaozhi''s hand trembled as he held the lighter, "Don''t worry about me. I still have debts to settle with this woman."


    "Then how do you want to finish it?!" Yi chen suddenly raised his voice, and the crowd trembled.


    Ignoring everyone''s reaction, he stared at yi shaozhi and his eyes were full of questions, "You cooperated voluntarily. No one forced you to do so. It was also your voluntariness to have feelings for her. Who are you blaming?! This is what business is all about. There are gains and losses. Haven''t you been in the business world for many years? Do you still need me to teach you these principles?"


    "I never trade at a loss!" Yi shaozhi roared, and his combed hair shook.


    When he was young, he studied business with his father, and successfully took the position of president of the yi company. He was always the only one who followed his lead. Even if he was negligent occasionally, he would always ask for money with interest.


    Yi chen had long disliked his competitive nature, so he was particularly reluctant to get along with him, but at this time, even if he was impatient, he still had to continue persuading.


    "Brother, can you stop being so stubborn? Yes, the Yi''s lost some money this time, but with your ability, you can earn it back soon. You threaten others with an explosive like this. If something really happens, you''ll have to stay in jail for the rest of your life. What''s the point of not losing money?!"


    "I..." Yi shaozhi''s face froze, and his previous impatience seemed to have subsided.


    He stared blankly at the explosives for a while, his brows relaxed and furrowed, as if he was thinking.


    Yi chen looked at the right time and shouted, "Brother!!!"


    Yi shaozhi raised his head subconsciously, only to see a dark shadow darting towards him. Before he could make a move, the lighter in his hand had been taken away!


    "Let go!" Yi shaozhi''s hands were tied behind yi chen''s back. His strength was not as strong as yi chen''s and he could only struggle weakly.


    Yi chen squatted down to take off the explosives on his body, raised his eyes and gave him a sideways look, then said in a muffled voice, "Calm down, I''ll untie it for you right away."


    "Yichen! I''m your brother, how dare you do this to me!"


    "It''s no use saying anything. You can go home later..." Yi chen wanted yi shaozhi to go home and reflect on himself, but halfway through, he suddenly saw a group of uniformed police officers pushing the door open.


    It was only about ten minutes before yi shaozhi took out the explosives. The auditorium was located in a scenic spot on the ridge, and it was impossible for the police to arrive so soon.


    All the people present looked at the police officers who had suddenly arrived with joy and doubt. The leader of the police officers made a strange inspection for a week, then came to the disheveled su yanbai who had just been lifted up from the ground, and asked formally, "Is this miss su yanbai? Someone reported that you were involved in a kidnapping case. Now please come back with us for investigation."


    There were waves and waves, and before the tears on su yanbai''s face had dried up, she was about to be taken away by the police. The guests and the media were all surprised.

 Chapter 424 Engagement Banquet and Thriller

    Suspected of kidnapping, su yanbai naturally knew what was going on, but today was her engagement party with gu mohan, and it was almost twelve o'' clock. Even if she left, she had to hold out until after exchanging engagement rings with gu mohan!


    She swallowed her dry throat, then reverted to the domineering young lady and asked with her chin raised, "Do you have any evidence that I kidnapped you? Let me tell you, today is my engagement day. If you mess up halfway, I''ll sue you for slander and make you lose your police uniform!"


    The police captain frowned, but his eyes were still dignified.


    When he came over, he knew that su yanbai was having an engagement party, so he brought a small team to maintain order in order to prevent trouble at the scene. However, as the suspect who was still so aggressive as the bride-to-be, this was the first time he had seen her.


    "Whether it''s slander or not, we''ll know when we get to the police station. And I believe that ye yiyu and bai zixuan, who are already preoccupied with themselves, should not have time to splash dirty water on irrelevant people. You should tidy up and come back with us immediately."


    Ye yiyu and bai zixuan!


    Su yanbai gritted her teeth. It was them!


    After hearing the two names, her expression suddenly became angry, and the police captain became more convinced of her suspicions. As soon as he raised his hand, he called for someone to come over and put handcuffs on her.


    At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Police comrade, you take yi shaozhi away too, he is crazy!"


    The police captain was stunned and raised his voice, "Is yi shaozhi crazy? What happened?"


    When he asked, the previously cowering guests began to report the situation.


    When he heard that there was explosives, the police captain immediately changed his face. No wonder he felt strange when he entered the door just now. There was another big event. It seemed that he was destined to steal the performance of his peers today and have a double harvest!


    Following everyone''s instructions, he came to yi shaozhi, who was tied up by yi chen, glanced at the explosives at his feet and shook his head, "Yi shaozhi, right? You are very famous in this city. You are a successful person after all. Why do you do such a harmful thing? But it''s a good thing it didn''t cause any serious consequences. Find a chance to thank your brother."


    Then, he glanced at the expressionless yi chen and asked his men to come over and cuff yi shaozhi.


    A team of police left with su yanbai and yi shaozhi and headed straight to the police interrogation room, where they would be waiting for a long interrogation and confrontation.


    In the auditorium, peace was finally restored.


    They happily came to the engagement party, but they did not want to meet with a horror story. The bride-to-be was also sent to the police station, so the guests naturally did not want to stay, all three or five groups left, and the reporters did not want to film the tragic situation of the engagement party, one after another smeared oil on their feet.


    The su and gu families didn''t even show up to see each other off. After all, it was too embarrassing.


    Especially the su family, in addition to humiliation, they were busy asking people around to find out about su yanbai. Their daughter was arrested by the police in front of so many people, and they said that she was suspected of kidnapping, but they didn''t even know!


    As for the engagement... Of course, it was unsuccessful.


    Before the successful exchange of engagement rings at 12: 00 noon, the engagement could not be considered complete, and su yanbai was now in a lawsuit, so the gu family could not let gu mohan marry a woman who might go to jail.


    Moreover, with the help of the su family, the gu family had returned to normal, so it was no longer important whether they were married or not.


    Gu mohan spoke to his parents in the break and returned to the auditorium because ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were still there.


    Although she shouldn''t have fallen into the trap, the episode at the engagement party just now made gu Mohan very happy.


    Originally, he agreed to get engaged to su yanbai for the sake of the company. After the company was saved, he was bound by morality and could not break down the bridge. However, with the help of god, he arranged so many accidents today, which broke the connection between him and su yanbai, and let him be free again.


    He was not only happy, he was simply overjoyed!


    And the one who was as happy as him was little treasure.


    After the police arrived, little treasure felt that the environment was safe, so he ran to ye zhiqiao and stood with her all the time, so she clearly saw that su yanbai was taken away by the police, and also understood that her father did not need to get engaged to aunt su.


    Her father did not get engaged to aunt su, so naturally he returned to aunt ye. Just thinking of this, she smiled from ear to ear.


    Just now, she was crying, but now she was smiling brightly. Ye zhiqiao pinched her little nose and pretended to complain, "How can you gloat, little treasure?"


    When his nose was pinched, not only did little treasure not hide but also moved closer to ye zhi. He huddled in her arms and said coquettishly, "Auntie ye, little treasure heard the police uncle speak. Uncle said auntie su kidnapped her. She was the one who kidnapped little treasure and auntie ye, wasn''t she?"


    Previously, in the supermarket, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were dazed and brought to a dilapidated hotel. Ye zhiqiao only saw ye yiyu wearing a mask, but when xiao bao woke up, he saw bai zixuan and su yanbai.


    At that time, the police only focused on interrogating ye yiyu and bai zixuan, without realizing that the mastermind behind the scenes, su yanbai, had slipped away.


    Little treasure knew that su yanbai was a friend of his father''s. Although she didn''t like su yanbai very much, she didn''t treat su yanbai as a bad person either, so the matter was over.


    Now that I think about it, fortunately, the police had time. If gu mohan was really engaged to the person who kidnapped ye zhiqiao and xiao bao, then what would have happened in the future?


    In short, all the wind and rain finally passed, the weather outside cleared up, and little treasure''s mood also ushered in the long-lost sunshine.


    "Aunt ye, can little treasure stay at your house today?" Little treasure was holding a watermelon with juice on the tip of his mouth and nose.


    Ye zhiqiao wiped her face with a tissue and shook her head, "No, it''s better for little treasure to stay at the gu mansion, but if you want me, I can take you out to play."


    Although gu mohan and su yanbai were not engaged, she had nothing to do with gu mohan now. It was unreasonable to bring little treasure to her home.


    Being rejected by ye zhiqiao, little treasure was a little depressed, but she also knew that something happened between her father and aunt ye, and it was her father''s fault, aunt ye should be angry.


    So she smiled like a sunflower again, and the dog legs agreed, "Okay, little treasure listens to aunt ye!"

 Chapter 425 The Most Important Thing

    A few days later, the president''s office of the gu group building.


    Gu mohan stood by the window with his hands behind his back and looked out through the huge french window. It was the sunrise when the fiery red clouds broke through the clouds and the golden light streaked across the earth. The pedestrians and vehicles on the road moved forward in a very regular way, providing power for the city made of steel and concrete.


    The assistant stood at the desk with a document in his hand.


    "The three projects that su is working on with foreign companies, the two projects that su is working with domestic companies, the five projects that Yi''s is working with domestic companies, and the inter-bank sub-hospital projects, were all taken over by gu an hour ago. Other than that, there is a big project in the su family that is being discussed with our company. If it goes well, we can get the result this afternoon."


    The assistant put the documents on the table and asked gu Mohan for advice, "President gu, the su family and the Yi''s have a number of small projects in progress. What you mean is..."


    "Keep it for now." Gu mohan took a deep breath and sat back in his office chair. He threw the documents on the table into the drawer and said calmly, "We''ve got all the chips in our hands. They can''t make it back. We don''t have to chase after them. If we eat too badly, we''ll be laughed at by our peers."


    In a few days, gu mohan led a group of generals to defeat the su and yi families who had lost their main characters and bought all the important projects in their hands, including most of their fixed customer sources, while the gu family was completely back to normal. This battle, the gu family won!


    At the same time, the scandals of su yanbai and yi shaozhi, the president of the Yi''s, also made the headlines. Su yanbai had instigated the kidnapping and couldn''t escape from prison. The su family was begging for help, and yi shaozhi''s explosives case was enough for him to take a while. Not only did the gu family keep the two companies firmly under their feet, but they were not afraid that they would have a chance to retaliate.


    This engagement banquet, gu mohan became the biggest winner, but at the same time experiencing the joy of victory, there was still a big matter that he needed to solve immediately.


    "Is there a board meeting this morning?" Gu mohan raised his eyes and asked.


    "Yes, all the directors will be here to discuss the acquisition of several branches later." The assistant introduced gu Mohan according to his memory and then asked hesitantly, "Mr. Gu, do you... Need to do something? If it''s not urgent, it''s best not to be absent."


    Gu mohan did not want to be absent, but before his career and ye zhiqiao, he had already chosen the former once. This time, he had to follow his heart and stand beside ye zhiqiao.


    "I won''t go over. President gu will be here anyway. Just let him preside over it."


    Gu mohan quickly refused and then ordered, "Help me set a table in the restaurant. I''ll send someone over for lunch."


    The assistant immediately guessed who Mohan was when he said he was going to invite someone to dinner, and would not hesitate to cancel such an important meeting for the sake of the meal. But to be safe, she asked, "Are you two?"


    "Yeah."


    He and ye zhiqiao, of course, were two of them.


    Then the assistant left. Gu mohan took a look at the time and called home more than five hours before his lunch break.


    When his mother came to pick him up, he seemed a little excited.


    "Mohan? Why did you call? How many days have you not been home? It''s not a problem to be so busy. Your body will be worn out."


    Ever since the engagement banquet, mother gu''s attitude towards gu mohan has improved, occasionally revealing her mother''s concern for her children.


    Gu mohan agreed, because little treasure was still living in the gu family mansion, he then talked to his mother about little treasure, and then asked her mother to invite his father to answer the phone.


    "Hello, Mohan." The company was back on track, and father gu''s spirits were much better, and his voice had returned to its former high spirits.


    Gu mohan agreed, then said, "Dad, I''m calling to tell you in advance. The board of directors will trouble you to preside over it later. I have something to leave."


    "Hmm?" Upon hearing this, gu father was a little displeased, "What do you want me to do? You''re the one in charge of the gu family. I''m just a retired old man. I can just make a scene of this kind of thing. Do you still want to put it all on me?"


    Gu mohan immediately denied, "I didn''t mean that. It''s just that there''s something urgent. If you don''t want to, I can arrange for someone else."


    The shareholders of the gu family are all elites. Although they are currently in a cooperative relationship, they are all greedy for the fat meat of the gu family. If the members of the gu family don''t show up, they can make a hole in the sky. How could father gu agree to let an outsider host it?


    But gu Mohan''s decision would not be easily changed. If he did not agree, perhaps gu mohan would really dare to send someone else to the meeting.


    So he let go and said, "You have to tell me what you need to do. Why are you absent from such a big occasion as the board of directors?"


    Gu mohan had expected that he would agree, but he did not intend to hide it from him. He replied, "Invite ye zhiqiao to lunch."


    What?!


    Father gu picked up the phone and rubbed his ear.


    Did he hear correctly? To have lunch with a woman instead of holding an important meeting with a large consortium?!


    "Mohan, you''ve always been steady, but this is not a beautiful thing to do." Father gu put on an elder''s posture, half criticizing and half persuading, "Now it''s impossible for you and su yanbai. If you like that child, ye zhiqiao, your mother and I will not object to your association either. It''s just that there is a priority. You can''t just leave the business to yourself because of a woman. What''s the difference between that and a fatuous monarch who has lost his country and the people?"


    Gu mohan fiddled with the little potted plant at the corner of the table, chuckled unconsciously, and then said faintly, "I am not the emperor, and I can''t do it. Managing the gu family is my job, and I will take it seriously. It was precisely because of this that from the moment the engagement party ended midway through, I often stayed at the company, in order to solve all kinds of problems a day earlier and let the gu family return to normal as soon as possible. Now that I''ve achieved my goal, I should do what I think is the most important thing."


    The most important thing he thought was to be by ye zhiqiao''s side to manage and develop the company in order to fulfill his parents'' wishes and fulfill his filial piety.


    He finished the former, then the latter.


    Even father and mother gu couldn''t say anything.


    "Then you..." Father gu shook his head helplessly, "Whatever."


    "Thank you, dad."


    Gu mohan hung up the phone, then stared at the address book for a while before calling ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 426 Who Was the Man Five Years Ago?

    In the past few days, he had been busy all night once in a while. His body was tired and his heart was even more tired. Every time he stood in front of the window in the early morning and looked down at the whole city, he missed ye zhiqiao very much.


    After the engagement party that day, he and ye zhiqiao sat in the empty auditorium and chatted for a while. Ye zhiqiao did not complain or hate him as he imagined, but was very calm, perhaps with a little embarrassment and awkwardness, but did not intentionally embarrass him.


    They talked about a lot of unimportant things, such as how little treasure had been eating recently, whether jian mengqi''s anger had subsided or not, how perfunctory Qin Baiye''s speech was just now, and so on. Unlike the excitement of their expected reunion, they were very calm, just like an old couple who had lived together for many years, understanding each other, understanding each other, and being able to get along in a very gentle and comfortable way.


    The only regret was that they were not sure about getting back together that day.


    Gu mohan did not know why ye zhiqiao did not mention it. After thinking about it, it was he who proposed the breakup and was engaged to someone else. Ye zhiqiao, such a self-respecting girl, could not take the initiative to get back together with him even if she liked him.


    And he didn''t mention it because he felt that it was disrespectful of ye zhiqiao to propose a reconciliation under such circumstances.


    Even though he had a hard time breaking up, ye zhiqiao forgave him as trust, but he could not rely on ye zhiqiao''s trust to mistreat her.


    When the two of them get back together, he has to bring it up personally and confess again after everything is settled.


    For example, today at noon.


    Ye zhiqiao answered the phone very quickly. It seemed that she had been up for a long time. Gu mohan looked out the window at the sky and said with concern, "The weather has been bad recently. You should get up early and put on a coat. Don''t catch a cold."


    "Yes, I know." Ye zhiqiao smiled and agreed, then asked, "Did you work overtime again last night? Why didn''t you call so early to catch up on your sleep?"


    Gu mohan relaxed and leaned back in his chair. He looked up and said, "No, I''m not tired. I''ll just have a meal with you and make up for it. Are you free at noon?"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but smile when she heard this. It turned out that she was going to be invited to dinner.


    But...


    She reconfirmed the schedule on her computer. It was exactly around eleven o'' clock, so she should not be back in time to have dinner with gu mohan.


    "Not at noon. Maybe another day."


    "Ah?!" Gu mohan straightened up and was about to say that he had already made a reservation, but the words came to his lips, "Well... Then you should be busy. I''ll treat you another time."


    Ye zhiqiao agreed with a smile and changed her shoes after saying goodbye to gu mohan.


    Driving all the way to the police station, ye zhiqiao got out of the car and was led directly into the meeting room by the police. There, she wanted to see an old friend.


    Not long after, the door of the meeting room was opened again, and ye yiyu, who was wearing handcuffs... Or gu chengyan, appeared at the door. The moment she saw ye zhiqiao, her face showed an expression that could not tell whether to cry or laugh.


    The police officer unlocked one of her handcuffs and locked it on a chair. He turned around and told ye zhiqiao a few words before leaving.


    "Ye yi language." Ye zhiqiao called the name directly because she came here today for the name.


    Ye yiyu looked in the direction of the police officer leaving for a while, then turned around and pursed her lips, "I didn''t expect you to be quite resourceful. You should have a lot of work to do when you see me alone as a person who is going to be sent to prison, right? I thought you were a righteous white lotus, huh!"


    Ye zhiqiao did not smile and just looked at her quietly. After a long time, she said, "Your face is really not like before, but your personality has not changed at all."


    "Ye zhiqiao, you!"


    This face was the last thing ye yiyu wanted to mention, because it reminded her of the past, of the dark days, of every grovel and flattery after gu chengyan...


    Ye yiyu was her pride, and gu chengyan was her darkest and dirtiest history!


    Ye zhiqiao knew this was her weakness, but she wanted to make her pain.


    "Answer me a question." Ye zhiqiao remained expressionless, as if confident that ye yiyu would agree.


    Ye yiyu blushed, sneered, shook his head and said, "Who do you think you are? Now that I''m like this, can I answer your question with a reduced sentence or acquittal?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak and stared at her closely. Her eyes were clear and calm, but they seemed to have a soul-stirring light in them.


    Ye yiyu didn''t know why, but she was so shocked by this stare that she could only snort coldly, "Forget it. Let''s hear your question first! I would like to see how much more you can squeeze me out now."


    Ye zhiqiao had no intention of dealing with her. Seeing that she let go, she said directly, "Did what happened five years ago have something to do with you? Or... Did you arrange it yourself?"


    "Five years ago?" Ye yiyu frowned, tilted his head and thought for a while. He didn''t know why and said, "What''s the matter?"


    Looking at ye zhiqiao''s current appearance, the question must be related to her, and it must have been something she had designed to harm ye zhiqiao.


    But she had hurt ye zhiqiao so many times that she couldn''t count her hands. How could she know which one ye zhiqiao was referring to?


    Hearing ye yi''s question, ye zhiqiao''s expression finally relaxed.


    That incident was a disgrace to her life. She had tried so hard to forget it and even suffered from mild depression. If she could, she wanted it to rot in her heart and never see the light for the rest of her life!


    But now she suspected that the incident had something to do with ye yiyu. If her suspicions were correct, then perhaps her long years of anxiety would be over.


    Foreign psychiatrists have told her that if she can''t forget it and just run away, it will only harm her and face it bravely so that the sun can shine again.


    Ye zhi coincidentally clenched her hand under the table. She swallowed her saliva and looked straight at ye yi yu. Every word was extremely difficult, "That night five years ago, I thought it was bai zixuan, but that night of another man... Did that have anything to do with you? Do you know... Who... Is that man?"


    The person who changed her life, she should know who.


    "Oh, you asked that person?"


    Ye yiyu''s expression became serious, as if she was really thinking back.


    But just as ye zhiqiao was full of expectation, the next moment, ye yiyu suddenly burst out laughing.


    "Ha... Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha..."


    Ye yiyu pointed at her from time to time, laughing as if she was looking at a fool, "Look at you. I thought I was really thinking for you! Hahaha..."

 Chapter 427 Looking for the Big Boss of the Surrogate Mother

    After laughing enough, ye yiyu stopped, her body most likely crossed the table to approach ye zhiqiao, and slowly said, "You asked the right person, I do know, but I won''t tell you."


    A few more sneers. Ye yiyu sat back on the chair and watched as ye zhiqiao''s face grew darker and darker. She deliberately provoked her and said, "Why are you asking about him? Looking for him? But why? Do you feel like you can''t get married and want to find someone to take over, or do you think that he''s satisfied with you in that aspect? Do you want to try again?"


    Dirty words were spat out from the chapped lips of ye yi language, as disgusting as they were.


    Ye zhiqiao was really angry with her, and her breath was unstable for a moment.


    Seeing this, ye yiyu became more confident and said provocatively, "What? Angry? Then you hit me and scold me! I''m so lonely here, and the people I live with are so boring. By the way, when I''m transferred to prison, they''ll be even more boring. But if I had a good sister like you with me, I would have enjoyed it."


    Come on, ye zhiqiao, I can''t retreat now. This is my life in the future. If you want, follow me to hell!


    Ye yiyu''s eyes were deep, and the hatred in them was frightening.


    Ye zhiqiao still didn''t understand why ye yiyu would hate her so much. She asked herself that she had never done anything wrong to ye yiyu. Even though ye yiyu had suppressed her humiliation when she was living together five years ago, she had endured very little counterattack.


    Could her concession be seen by ye yiyu as a weight to make things worse?!


    If so, ye yiyu will never have the chance to laugh again in the future because she has already given up on ye yiyu and all the members of the ye family.


    "I won''t beat or scold you, and I won''t accompany you." Ye zhiqiao regained her composure. In front of ye yiyu, she had no weakness.


    "The loneliness and dullness of a detention center or prison can only be felt by you, because you have taken the blame for this step. I''m not a saint, I don''t believe in buddhism, I don''t cross people''s hearts. In my opinion, you deserve to die."


    Ye zhiqiao took out a few photos from her bag and showed them to ye yiyu.


    Then she pointed at the woman and said to ye yi, "Zhuang jiamin is old, isn''t she? You see, her hair is so white and her face is covered in wrinkles. I heard that since you were wanted, she has been looking for you all day and night. She thinks you are her hope."


    "Until later... She lost hope."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and shook her head, "Ye''s condition is not good either. I should have heard about it when you pretended to be gu chengyan and entered the company to work. Ye guojun is old, his mind is weak, his wrist is weak, and ye''s will not last long. But I think, with ye guojun''s character, if someone suddenly told him that he could lend him a sum of money as long as he divorced his wife, then he would definitely sweep zhuang minjia out without hesitation, right?"


    As ye zhiqiao said these words word by word, ye yiyu''s face became uglier and uglier. After the blow, there were even veins popping out of her forehead. Coupled with her red eyes, it seemed that she was no different from the devil in hell.


    Ye zhiqiao was not satisfied. She continued slowly, "Zhuang jiamin is old and has lost her proud beauty. She can''t climb up to others like she did when she seduced ye guojun. How can she live without the ye family?"


    "Ye zhiqiao, what do you want?!!"


    Ye yiyu finally couldn''t help but struggle frantically to get up from the chair. When she realized that she couldn''t do it, she started to scold ye zhiqiao.


    "Ye zhi, you bitch! A demon who eats without spitting out a bone! If you hate me, you hate me. Why would you hurt my mother, huh?! You are a despicable and shameless thing, just like your disgusting mother! Damn it, damn it! Bitch!"


    "If you mention my mother again, I will let you see the scene that I just said."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her coldly and her tone was firm.


    She had this ability, whether it was ye guojun or zhuang minjia, and now, as long as she wanted to, she could make sure that they were doomed at any time.


    Ye yiyu was shocked.


    But even without mentioning her mother, ye yiyu could not help but continue to yell.


    Ye zhiqiao was annoyed by her noise. She slapped the table and said, "All right, stop biting like a mad dog! Now that you''ve been threatened once by me, you feel that I''m an unforgivable person, so what about the things you''ve done before? Why can you do evil, and I will always be schemed by you?!"


    "Ye yiyu, I will give you one last chance to tell you everything you know and everything that happened in those years. I don''t have time to waste with you. If you don''t tell me, I will go to the street with your mother and kneel down to beg for food when I get out of prison in the future!"


    Ye zhiqiao said nothing. Ye yiyu looked at her blankly as if she didn''t know ye zhiqiao.


    So this is what it feels like to become a king and lose a foe?


    "Heh -"


    Ye yiyu smiled sadly, but there was a lot of displeasure and disdain in his expression.


    She nodded indifferently and said, "Well, since you want to hear it so much, then I''ll say yes."


    "I did arrange that man five years ago." Ye yiyu slowly opened his mouth, and the scene in his mind was reversed, returning to the ordinary afternoon five years ago.


    "I''ve been trying to figure you out for more than a day or two. That afternoon when I heard that someone was looking for a surrogate mother, I thought of you. Anyway, the employer won''t show up in person, and you won''t know in advance. As long as I adjust the time difference so that you think the person you''re with is bai zixuan, then everything will be fine."


    "Who is that man? What do you mean the employer didn''t show up?" Hearing this, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but interrupt ye yiyu and ask.


    Ye yiyu picked on her eyelids and snorted, "If you''re looking for a surrogate mother and are willing to pay so much money, you must be a big boss who can''t give birth! The most important thing about people like that is their reputation and face. How can they show up in person for such a thing? At most, they can send someone they trust."


    Ye yiyu had never seen that person before.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and asked her to continue, "Did you do the same thing with the car accident that I was eight months pregnant?"


    "Yeah." Ye yiyu admitted generously.


    "I was always afraid that you wouldn''t give birth to the baby. I couldn''t pay the big boss''s money for nothing. I didn''t expect you to be so shameless. You were pregnant with a child who didn''t know who your father was and still wanted to give birth." Ye yiyu looked sideways at ye zhiqiao and continued with a curled mouth, "But you gave birth voluntarily, which also made me a little embarrassed."

 Chapter 428 Her Child Was Not Dead!

    When ye zhiqiao got pregnant and was abandoned by bai zixuan, she had lost all hope in her life, and the child in her stomach was the only life that was closely related to her.


    "So you planned that car accident to kill me and my child?" Ye zhiqiao asked incredulously, "Because you were afraid that you wouldn''t be able to hand over the goods, so you just burned the jade and stone?!"


    "What is burning jade and stone?"


    Ye yi was speechless, so he had an expression of "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    "How could I be so stupid? You and the baby are gone, so I have to throw up the money I ate in my stomach. Of course, I did that to get the child without anyone noticing!"


    "Oh yes!" Speaking of this, ye yiyu made a sudden expression of enlightenment and kept nodding, "It''s my fault. I seem to have forgotten to tell you that your child... Is actually not dead."


    Your child is not dead!!!


    ...


    A thunderbolt flew over her head and cut ye zhiqiao''s heart in half!


    The world seemed to be suddenly struck by lightning and thunder. Ye yiyu''s voice could not be heard from the other side. She could only see the teasing smile on her face and the wriggling of her lips like maggots.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes did not move and she looked at ye yiyu as if she had lost focus. Shock and trance were her initial feelings. To accept this news was like a mouse swallowing an elephant.


    Impossible, impossible, she instinctively rejected to believe, but ye yiyu''s expression at this time reminded her that it was true!


    Ye yiyu was laughing, laughing so hard that her shoulders trembled and she was laughing so hard that she finally stepped on ye zhiqiao''s feet once, in five years, with a child.


    And ye zhiqiao could never turn over!


    "My child... Is not dead..."


    After a long silence, ye zhiqiao finally made a sound, as if asking ye yi yu again, and as if asking herself.


    As soon as she opened her mouth, tears began to fall. One of them was crystal clear and she did not know who it was for.


    Ye yiyu looked up at the ceiling and was overjoyed.


    "Yeah, she didn''t die. She was cut out in eight months. When you fainted, the doctor took the baby out of your stomach with blood on his hands. When you thought the baby was gone and cried on the bed, I gave it to someone else and got into a fancy black car..."


    "Heh -" ye yiyu chuckled and spread out his hands to ye zhiqiao with pity. He tilted his head and said, "No, your child is gone. It''s not that different from death, is it? At least it shouldn''t make any difference to a mother you''ve never met."


    Have you never met before, and you have no feelings?


    Of course not!


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly stood up and ran out the door like crazy.


    The guard at the door chased after her a few steps and asked her to sign a visiting form, but she couldn''t hear anything.


    There was only one thing in her heart right now, and that was to go back and use all her means and connections to find the child!


    Even after the child came to this world, she did not look at it at all, even if she and the child had been separated for five years, walking on the street could not recognize each other... But it was also her child, who had lived in her womb for eight months, from the original pea-sized embryo to a fetus, her child!


    Sitting in the car, ye zhiqiao''s crying was mixed with the noise on the road. She could not close the car window, so she would not be able to breathe.


    She had never experienced this feeling before. When her mother died, she was in pain, but she knew that life was normal. She accepted it as it was, but when she became a mother, she realized that she could not accept life, death and separation at all.


    "Mom, I''m sorry..."


    It was the only complete sentence she could say in her wailing.


    It was her incompetence as a mother who brought her child to this world in a daze and lost it in a daze. The world is so chaotic and complicated. How can a child survive without her?


    The one who took the child away, would he treat the child well? Does he have a wife? Does his wife like children? And did they ever give birth to their own baby? If so, what would happen to her child?...


    There were so many questions, and there were no answers.


    At this moment, she hated ye yiyu, a hatred she had never had before.


    In the past, no matter how bitter and vicious ye yi''s language was, no matter how unscrupulous she was, she only complained and hated, but never hated.


    But from now on, there was only hatred left.


    Return good for evil, how can you repay good for evil? She used to treat evil people with magnanimity, but what did she get in return?!


    Then in the future, let''s hate each other.


    ...


    In front of the gu group building, ye zhiqiao stopped the car and called gu mohan.


    After searching his mind for a long time, he found that only gu mohan was the one who could help him the most.


    Because ye zhiqiao rejected the invitation, gu mohan decided to join the board of directors temporarily. When his phone vibrated on the table, he was organizing a vote on the partners for the next quarter. However, after the assistant reminded him, he quickly said "Sorry" to the disgruntled crowd and left the conference room.


    On the phone, ye zhiqiao said that she was downstairs at the company and asked him for help.


    In gu mohan''s impression, ye zhiqiao rarely cried, much like the strong woman in tv dramas. It was the first time that she cried and asked him directly.


    Gu mohan thought something big had happened again and ran downstairs restlessly. As soon as he opened the car door and sat in, ye zhiqiao immediately threw herself into his arms.


    "Gu mohan... Gu mohan... I went to see ye yiyu just now. She said my child... My child is still alive... She''s not dead... She''s still alive..."


    As she spoke, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but shed tears again, but after venting before, her mood had basically calmed down.


    Before gu mohan could speak, she continued, "Ye yiyu said that five years ago, when I was eight months pregnant, she sold my child to a rich man looking for a surrogate mother, but she doesn''t know who that person is... Gu mohan, you''ve been taking over the gu family for years. You must know a lot of rich people. Can you help me find them? That man suddenly has a child, and there''s no way he won''t be quiet!"


    Child...


    Gu mohan''s heart stirred.


    Not long after he met ye zhiqiao, he had sent someone to investigate and confirmed that ye zhiqiao was xiao bao''s biological mother.

 Chapter 429 Tell the Truth Later

    But at that time, he didn''t know ye zhiqiao well, let alone the cause and effect of those events.


    Although he was not completely clear now, he had complete trust in ye zhiqiao.


    His only question was that ye zhi was a surrogate mother.


    Before telling ye zhiqiao the truth, he hoped to explain this matter clearly, so he asked, "You just said that the surrogate mother, that matter has something to do with ye yiyu?"


    Ye zhiqiao wiped her tears and said angrily, "Yes, of course it does. If it weren''t for her, I wouldn''t have been pregnant at all!"


    Gu mohan was shocked and felt as if he had been struck by lightning, "You..."


    "She drugged me. I was... Almost unconscious." Ye zhiqiao gritted her teeth and said the most difficult thing to say.


    No wonder!


    Gu mohan lowered his head, his eyes filled with remorse. No wonder that night he always felt that the woman''s reaction was a little strange. He had thought that the woman was drunk, but he didn''t expect it to be because of this.


    What was the difference between his behavior and that of a beast?!


    But fortunately... Fortunately, he already knew that the woman was ye zhiqiao. Fortunately, ye zhiqiao and little treasure were by his side, so he could love and make up for it.


    Ye zhiqiao only wanted to ask him for help looking for the child, but did not notice the change in his mood. Instead, she asked again, "Can you help me, gu mohan? I have to find that child. I can''t even imagine what her life is like right now, but as long as I can find her, I will spare no effort to be good to her."


    Speaking of this, ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered that gu mohan also had a child, so she quickly added, "You can rest assured that after finding the child, I will also be good to little treasure. I like little treasure very much, and I will never be partial to my child!"


    She actually thought he was worried about this?


    Gu mohan shook his head helplessly and chuckled, then said, "I believe you won''t be biased, but little treasure is actually..."


    "Bell - bell -"


    The phone suddenly buzzed, interrupting what gu mohan was about to tell the truth.


    The call was from his assistant. Thinking of his reckless departure, gu mohan chose to answer the phone first.


    "President gu, where are you? Something happened, and after you left, the two shareholders got into a fight, and Mr. Gu couldn''t even persuade them to come forward!"


    The assistant''s tone was anxious, and there was still a lot of noise on the other end of the receiver. The scene seemed really out of control, "And... And the shareholders seem to be very dissatisfied with your sudden departure. They say you don''t value the company. President gu, you''d better hurry back and deal with it..."


    This group of thieving people, why don''t they value the company, but they want to find fault and replace it?! They were yelling for the company''s development, but they were just trying to put money in their pockets!


    Gu mohan knew what these greedy shareholders were thinking, but the way to go was still to go, and people had to be comforted. After all, the gu family still needed these people.


    "I see." He agreed, then said, "The voting just now is temporarily suspended. You inform the people to prepare immediately for an emergency meeting."


    "Okay, then you..."


    Gu mohan turned his head to look at ye zhiqiao and saw that the other party was looking at him without blinking. His eyes were worried, so he lowered his voice and said quickly, "I will do it as soon as possible." Then he hung up first.


    "Is there something wrong with the company?"


    Before the phone could be put away, ye zhiqiao''s inquiry came from her side.


    Gu mohan turned his head and thought about how to answer.


    Ye zhiqiao said directly, "Go back as soon as you have something to say. After all... The news about the child is not something you can find out in a short time. I was just... Anxious and I don''t know who to tell. It''s much better now. You don''t have to worry."


    Ye zhiqiao looked much better than before. Although her eyes were still red, she could at least smile.


    Indeed, it was not good for the company to delay any longer. Gu mohan thought for a moment and decided to postpone telling ye zhiqiao about little treasure.


    Because if I tell her now, it will take me a lot of time to explain the reason, such as why he wanted to find a surrogate in the first place, such as why he would contact ye yiyu for a surrogate, such as why he didn''t directly tell the truth when he found out that she was xiao bao''s biological mother...


    Moreover, after su yanbai''s incident, the relationship between him and ye zhiqiao had not been determined. He could not predict how ye zhiqiao would react after he knew the truth. If he refused to forgive him or left with little treasure, it would be irreparable.


    Moreover, ye zhiqiao had just heard the shocking news that the child was still alive from ye yiyu. He immediately told her that little treasure was her child, and it was likely that the impact on her was too great for her to bear.


    So he decided to find a good opportunity to tell ye zhiqiao the whole story in a gentle way after all the dust had settled.


    "Then... I''ll go in first."


    Gu mohan raised his hand to wipe away the remnants of tears on ye zhiqiao''s cheek and then turned around to get out of the car.


    Inside the car, ye zhiqiao looked through the window and followed gu mohan closely until he melted into the crowd and could not see him again.


    On the way, bai zixuan was wearing a casual shirt, a backpack, a cap, and a huge sun visor covering half of his face. Even his acquaintances could not recognize him when they saw him like this.


    He bought a box of cigarettes from a newspaper stand on the street and took a puff. When he found that the smell was not good, he stuffed it into his pants and then flashed into an unopened barbecue shop nearby.


    He had been out for two days, and for the past two days, he had been surfing the internet at home to investigate su yanbai and ye yiyu, such as whether their case had been tried, where they were now locked up, and what means the family had used to get them. He knew almost everything, and finally decided to contact one of them.


    In the deserted barbecue shop, he had just sat down when another person pushed the door open.


    Polo shirt, jeans, and the usual outfit on the street were the people bai zixuan wanted to meet.


    "Sit down." Bai zixuan opened the stool for him to sit down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, asking, "How is it? Is it easy to get in?"


    The man narrowed his eyes and took a puff. "It''s not easy to get in," he said, puffing up smoke." Over the past few years, the control has become more and more strict. But we can still do that by contacting an informant."


    Upon hearing this, bai zixuan was finally relieved and asked, "How exactly do we contact each other?"


    The man gave him a sideways glance and said with a straight smile, "The rules of the road are: don''t ask any questions that shouldn''t be asked. Prepare the money and give me a photo of that woman''s face. And if you want to bring it with you, you don''t have to worry about the rest."

 Chapter 430 Shen Munong Became Famous Again

    Bai zixuan choked for a moment, but he did not have a fit. After all, he could not fight this kind of person, and he might have to cooperate again in the future.


    Taking out the photo from his backpack, the woman on it was wearing a famous brand. It was a bright smile, but it was easy to see pride in it.


    "This is a photo of su yanbai. As for the money..." Bai zixuan paused and said in embarrassment, "I gave you a lot when I found you. Do you still want to give it to me now?"


    The man took the photo and looked at su yanbai. His eyes revealed the light that a man had when he saw a beautiful woman. But when he heard the second half of bai zixuan''s sentence, his face immediately darkened and he said angrily, "Aren''t you going to pay me for helping you find someone? Don''t informants give you money to play for your life? Do I have to explain this to you?"


    Seeing the man''s displeased face, bai zixuan quickly denied, "No, no, I didn''t mean it. It''s just that your price is too high. I''m a little short of money right now. See if you can give me a discount."


    "Do you think this is going to the market to buy food?! There''s a discount... Can we pass half of the message for you?"


    The man''s anger rose and he said in a foul voice, "Young master bai, don''t play tricks on us poor people. When old master bai was young, he had built up so many family businesses. Although he has fallen a lot, it''s not a problem to bear this amount of money, is it? I''ve done everything I can to get you out of the detention center, so that we won''t get into a fight with each other because of a little money!"


    Speaking of the detention center, bai zixuan was also unhappy. His smile was gone and he waved his hand coldly, "That''s enough! Just give it to you as much as you want. But you must get things done, or else..."


    "Don''t worry, master bai!" The man interrupted him, uttered a number, then swung the cigarette butt and left the barbecue shop in bai zixuan''s gloomy eyes.


    At this time, the tv in the corner of the barbecue shop was playing the latest popular variety show in silence.


    When bai zixuan turned around, he saw a group of female guests surrounded by a host. With a disdainful smile, he stood up and left.


    The television was still running in an empty room, and the caption read: welcome to the new idol of the jade girl sect - shen monong.


    He was severely injured by su yanbai and her companions. From the time he came out of the hospital to now, shen mosheng had a bad time.


    Well, Shen shi recently took on a big project. Shen Qingyuan did well in front of his wife and yuezhang, and got the qualification to follow up on the project alone, so shen Qingyuan used some means to make a lot of money from the project behind his wife and yuezhang''s back.


    When shen Qingyuan had money, the first thing she did was to spend it on shen monong and help her in the entertainment industry. Shen monong''s star journey immediately became much smoother. The difficulties faced by the director and the ostracization of the female stars in the same industry also decreased a lot, and most people would fawn on her when they saw her.


    But there were also bad things, such as gu mohan''s engagement to su yanbai.


    When she first heard about this, the injury on her face had just recovered, and it was time to return to the entertainment industry to work hard. All day long, filming and publicity to catch up with the announcement, she was really at a loss, and even if she was anxious and unwilling, there was no way she could not stop it.


    Fortunately, gu mohan and su yanbai''s engagement failed. She still saw it on the internet. It was said that there was a big fuss at the engagement banquet. Not to mention the explosives, the police actually took su yanbai away after they arrived, saying it was some kind of incitement to kidnap.


    Hmph, whether su yanbai instigated her to kidnap or not, she didn''t care. As long as gu mohan was still alone, she still had a chance.


    In the middle of a new female lead drama, shen monong received a call from shen Qingyuan.


    The show was also a source of money from shen Qingyuan. Shen monong could walk around the scene. Naturally, she was in a good mood. She picked up the phone and called out "Dad" sweetly. Then she asked," are you busy with work recently? How are you?" I''m tired on the set, but I''ll stick to it no matter how tired I am so that you can live happily in your old age."


    "Ha ha ha..." Shen Qingyuan laughed a few times and said helplessly, "You ah you, little clever ghost. Did the shooting go well? Are the people who work together okay?"


    Shen molong took the coffee that the assistant bought and took a sip, "It''s very good. You don''t have to worry about it."


    Shen Qingyuan agreed with satisfaction and asked, "After this show, are you much more relaxed?"


    A while ago, shen mo was busy in the dark. According to the company''s plan, he would give her a small vacation to relax.


    However, shen monong had just experienced the taste of becoming famous, tired and satisfied, and did not want to rest, so he said: "Dad, the circle is the same every day, I do not want to rest, I am afraid that when I come back, many things have been missed, and make use of the time, I might be able to make another hit film."


    After all, shen Qingyuan was young, and it was normal for him to take another step, but he was nearly half a hundred years old and looked at things much more thoroughly than shen murong.


    "Everything is going according to the trend and not necessarily a good thing. People, it is still necessary to moderate the sharpness." Shen Qingyuan earnestly advised, "Take a break for a while. I don''t want you to be completely at home now. It''s okay to take an advertisement or a variety show occasionally. Besides, dad has something else he wants you to do."


    It had always been shen Qingyuan''s request, and it was the first time that shen Qingyuan had asked her to do something.


    Shen mo long was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What''s the matter, dad?"


    "Su yanbai and gu mohan''s engagement party hasn''t been completed, you know?" Shen Qingyuan asked instead.


    Shen mo nong also read the related follow-up reports yesterday, not only knowing, but knowing a lot.


    Shen molong continued, "With the temperament of gu Mohan''s parents, it would be impossible for su yanbai to enter the gu family again. After all, even if old master gu was thinking about his friendship with su yanbai''s father, the gu family could not be shameless with the su family. The marriage between the two families is over. Dad saw that you seemed to like gu mohan a little, so he wanted you to try."


    Try what? With gu mohan?!


    Shen mo nong''s face lit up and he gripped the phone tightly, "Really, dad? Want me to be with gu mohan?"


    "Of course."


    The gu family was rich. If shen mo married into the gu family, his position in the Shen shi group would be unmatched.


    Not only Shen shi, but it would be possible for him to get a share of gu''s shares if he wanted to!

 Chapter 431 The Su Family Abandons Su Yanbai

    "But..."


    Shen molong suddenly thought of something, and then his expression turned to worry, "Gu mohan and su yanbai''s marriage is over. Where''s ye zhiqiao? Isn''t she still with gu mohan? I''m not afraid of ye zhiqiao, but gu mohan... You know, dad, I''m afraid he still likes ye zhiqiao."


    In the past, when su yanbai was still around, gu mohan did not even look at this nominally fiancee. Now that su yanbai was gone, he would definitely be more unhindered. If he could be with ye zhiqiao in a proper way, how could he care about her?


    The problem she was worried about was exactly what shen Qingyuan was worried about, but fortunately, they had money in their hands. As long as they had money, there was nothing that could not be done.


    Shen Qingyuan pondered for a while, then comforted her and said, "You don''t have to worry about that. In a few days, dad will contact you with some famous brand endorsements, buy another wave of fans, and strive to promote you to the front line as soon as possible. As long as you are on the front line, your popularity will go up. If the media accidentally catches a video of you going in and out with gu mohan, then you will be tied tightly together."


    As long as the public opinion of the people was guided, gu mohan would not be able to choose who he liked or disliked at that time. After all, if he took on the reputation of being a playboy, it would have a great impact on the gu family.


    And as long as shen mo nong had enough interests in her body, gu father and gu mother would side with her, just as they did with su yan bai.


    Hearing that shen Qingyuan had arranged everything so well, shen monong was relieved. Her mind was not as good as shen Qingyuan''s, but she firmly believed that as long as she followed the path arranged by shen Qingyuan, there would be no mistake!


    ...


    The su family villa.


    With the help of the bodyguards, su pan dodged a group of "Ambush" media outside the villa area. After entering, she saw su fu sitting in the living room waiting for him.


    Perhaps it was because he had waited too long, and father su''s face was not very good. When he put the coffee on the table, it made a muffled sound.


    Su pan changed her shoes and walked to the sofa. She leaned over and said, "Dad, it''s all done."


    "What''s settled?"


    Father su raised his finger to the door and said in a deep voice, "The hyenas outside, are you done with them?!"


    Su pan turned her head to look at the bodyguard behind her and winked. The bodyguard immediately understood and opened the door with his men.


    Then, su pan sat down on the sofa and added coffee to father su, explaining, "Yan yan has made a lot of trouble this time. It''s normal for them to dig up news from it. Dad, don''t be angry with them."


    Father su snorted, "I''m not angry with them? With whom? Su yanbai?! How did I give birth to such a disappointing daughter!"


    After the engagement banquet, the su family spent a lot of time looking after them. Originally, they wanted to get su yanbai out directly, but not only did they fail, but they also almost got su pan involved.


    Later, the su family gave up on su yanbai and wanted to maintain their own stability, but this group of media did not know where to hear the news and fixed their eyes on the su family.


    Su yanbai''s behavior was already criticized, and now the entire su family has been pushed to the forefront of the storm, just in accordance with the old saying - the tiger fell flat and was bullied by the dog! Anyone who can get a foot wants to step on it.


    Nowadays, the su family is treading on thin ice every step they take, and their daily activities are extremely low-key, for fear of being caught by the outside world.


    "Dad, don''t worry about the media. You can rest at home these days. I''ve already contacted a few friends in the press. There will be a change soon." Su pan still had a good temper.


    Su pan was the eldest son of the su family. At this time, all the pressure had to be borne by him. Father su also knew that he was not easy, so he sighed, "Okay, I''m too old to help you. I won''t give you any trouble. You can do it yourself."


    "Hey, how''s your sister?" Although he did not dare to continue to smooth things over in order to protect himself, after all, he was his daughter, and father su was still concerned about su yanbai.


    Su pan pinched her brows and said wearily, "It''s better to call a few times a day. It''s nothing more than asking us to get her out of here quickly and give the prison guards some benefits and let them take care of her..."


    "Stupid!" Before su pan could finish his sentence, father su''s anger rose again. All the concern he had just had was drowned in anger, "What society is it now? I thought it was a few decades ago, when money could walk freely? I just spoil her so much that I don''t even know how high she is!"


    Su pan helplessly looked at her father''s hateful look and nodded, "She''s really gone too far. The prison phone has a monitoring device. She actually told me to contact a friend in your system the last time. I hung up the phone at that time, and I don''t know if anyone was listening to me."


    Not to mention that we can''t act rashly in the current situation, even if we can really ask someone to smooth things over, but according to su yanbai''s approach, it is enough to drag the helpers down.


    Father su was even angrier when he heard this. He slapped the table and ordered, "No one is allowed to answer her phone anymore! Do you want our family to be buried with her when you put yourself in this mess?"


    It was impossible to save her anyway. Instead of hearing her call to urge her to complain, it was better to keep her ears clean.


    Su pan nodded and agreed.


    From then on, all the calls su yanbai made to her home were like rocks sinking into the sea, and there was no more news.


    Once again, su yanbai returned to the cafeteria with a phone card in her hand and a blank face as she followed a group of women in the same prison uniform.


    Her mind was not very clear, but after a few times, she could guess what her family was thinking. They were not going to care about her anymore.


    However, there was a rule in prison that calls could only be made to her immediate relatives, not to the rest of her friends, and no one could help her even if she could call an outsider.


    The only person she trusted was her family, but now that they don''t even want her, what should she do?


    The food in the cafeteria was as light as ever, and the plates were stainless steel, just like the ones in the high school cafeteria on tv. She had never seen them before coming to prison.


    Since she was a child, she went to a private, aristocratic school and was separated from this ordinary life from the moment she was born. And because of this, after serving her sentence in prison, she did not even have a person to speak to.


    Others thought that her eldest daughter had a temper, and it was annoying to pretend to be superior in prison, while she thought that everyone else was stupid.

 Chapter 432 Double Cooperation

    She wandered around for a while with her plate in her hand, only to sit down in a corner when the sound of the prison guard''s urging sounded beside her.


    White rice, mushroom meat, vegetable stir-fried vegetables, tomato and egg soup.


    The most common food should not be too bad to eat.


    She picked up a piece of lean meat and took a bite. Then she realized that ordinary food could be so terrible.


    She sighed and was about to continue eating when Yu Guangzhong suddenly saw a blue shadow.


    She frowned and looked up, only to see a woman with short hair and a dark face sitting across from her who could not be picked out from the crowd.


    "Eat with your head down. Don''t look around."


    Just as she was about to speak, the woman across from her suddenly reminded her.


    She did not understand the woman''s intentions, but when she sensed something strange, she lowered her head.


    "Bai zixuan said that you can contact him as long as you make a phone call from the above number." The woman quickly said this, and then a fingertip-sized paper ball slid to su yanbai''s hand.


    She was shocked, and the conditional launcher grabbed the paper ball into her hand, while the hand holding the chopsticks began to tremble uncontrollably.


    The woman reminded again, "Don''t tremble, don''t look around. This number has been processed. They can''t find anything. Be careful."


    After saying this, the woman took two mouthfuls of rice, then got up with an empty plate and left. Throughout the journey, she was as calm as a cucumber, no different from the female prisoners who ate.


    Su yanbai''s left hand was already wet.


    During the afternoon break, she returned to the supermarket in the prison, but this time she did not call her brother su pan, but bai zixuan, who had only met once.


    "Dudu - dudu -"


    The phone began to beep and her heart beat at the same frequency.


    Finally, someone on the other end picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"


    It was a man''s voice.


    Su yanbai''s hands suddenly tightened and she leaned closer to the microphone and replied tentatively, "Hello? Is that you?"


    "Hehe, it''s me." Bai zixuan chuckled and leaned back on the sofa with his phone in his hand, "I finally got in touch with you. It''s really hard to hear your voice!"


    His voice was a little loud, so su yanbai quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she hurriedly reminded him, "Lower your voice. We have all the phones monitored here. You..."


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already dealt with it. There will never be a third person to hear our conversation." After all, he spent a lot of money.


    Su yanbai was skeptical of his words at first, but on second thought, she was already in prison. Even if she was found out, it was just an additional sentence.


    But she remembered that bai zixuan was also arrested. Could it be...


    "You''re out now?!" She said in surprise.


    "My family helped me think of something." Bai zixuan replied perfunctorily, then added, "But miss su, don''t imagine anything. Your crime is much heavier than mine. It''s not easy to think of it."


    Of course, otherwise the su family would not have been able to save her.


    Su yanbai was immediately deflated and asked, "Then why did you contact me?"


    Hearing su yanbai''s displeasure, bai zixuan smiled and said, "Miss su, don''t worry. I naturally want to help you, but before I help you, I hope you can help me first."


    "Can I help you?!"


    Su yanbai seemed to have heard a joke and snorted, "Are you sick? Or do you want to talk to me about prison life because you''re bored outside?"


    Su yanbai was not a patient person. Seeing that bai zixuan had said nothing good to her after a long time, she immediately lost the thought of making good relations with him.


    Bai zixuan was not annoyed by her sarcasm, so he continued to talk about his own thoughts, "I want to deal with gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, but ye yiyu is still in the police station. I am alone and need help. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise to help you find a way to save you."


    His words were well-organized and firm, as if they were really the result of careful consideration.


    After su yanbai heard this, she was really moved.


    "You''re not lying to me, are you? But what can I do for you? So what..." She lowered her voice and continued, "How are you going to get me out of here? My sentence is several years!"


    "You don''t have to worry about that. As long as you call me regularly, I''ll let you know if I have any problems. As for saving you... This may take some time. After all, your charges are a little sensitive..."


    Bai zixuan''s tone was difficult. Su yanbai could understand him. If the su family couldn''t do anything, it would be more difficult for him to do it.


    But now that the su family had clearly given up on her, no matter how long bai zixuan needed, she could only grasp at his lifeline!


    "Okay, I promise you, as long as you find a way to get me, I will cooperate with you." Su yanbai threw all her bets.


    Therefore, su yanbai in the prison and bai zixuan outside the prison officially launched a cooperation.


    However, the relationship they thought was impenetrable was still known by the well-informed shen Qingyuan.


    So the next day, shen monong accepted shen Qingyuan''s instructions and invited bai zixuan out.


    In an inconspicuous cafe on the snack street, shen monong took off the sunglasses that covered half of her face and smiled at bai zixuan.


    Bai zixuan had never been able to resist beautiful women, so he cleared his throat and smiled, "What is shen da mei doing? Seduce me?"


    Disgusting!


    Shen mo nong laughed coldly in her heart, but her face was still gentle. She whispered softly, "Young master bai has misunderstood. What kind of girl have you never seen before? How can you take a fancy to me? I asked you to come here today because I wanted to ask you for half a favor, or... Let''s help each other."


    "Oh?"


    Just as he had confirmed the partnership with su yanbai, another shen monong appeared. Bai zixuan could not help but wonder, "As far as I know, miss shen has already secretly hinted to gu Mohan. To tell you the truth, what I have to deal with is gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. We... Don''t seem to need to cooperate, do we?"


    Shen mosheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Don''t say that. We clearly have a common enemy, ye zhiqiao. Besides, on gu mohan''s side, we can cooperate to some extent. You want him to lose, and I just want him."


    According to shen Qingyuan, as long as she and gu mohan can spread irrevocable rumors, it doesn''t matter even if it tarnishes gu mohan''s reputation. Anyway, the gu family is big, and it''s easy to regain their strength. At a critical moment, the shen family can help.

 Chapter 433 Hating Her in Places She Couldnt See

    Bai bai had a helper, so bai zixuan was naturally happy. Besides, it was much easier to work with shen monong than with su yanbai. After all, it was impossible for him to get someone out of prison. He promised su yanbai on the phone because he was under pressure. In order to stabilize her, she had to do so.


    "I''m very honored to be able to work with miss shen, but I don''t know what the terms are."


    Bai zixuan was not a fool, nor would he fantasize that shen moqiang would help him for free.


    Shen mo nong smiled and tilted his head, "It''s very simple. You can do it. You know, I''m a star. Being a star naturally means that I want to be famous, so as long as you can make me famous, I can help you."


    Having bai zixuan contribute to her popularity would save shen Qingyuan the money he had to earn from his wife''s house, and the bai family''s resources were much more than shen Qingyuan''s. After all, back a few years ago, when Shen shi was still a small unlisted company, the bai family had already established itself in the city. Although it had fallen a lot over the past few years, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, so it shouldn''t be difficult to raise a star.


    Bai zixuan weighed his options and agreed to shen molong''s request.


    Then, shen monong took out an invitation card from her handbag and said with a smile, "This is the invitation card for the charity party in a few days. By then, many famous stars and businessmen will be there. I will go too. Let''s start our first cooperation here."


    "Okay."


    Bai zixuan temporarily forgot about su yanbai in prison and focused on planning the charity party with shen monong.


    Ye yiyu in the police station seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.


    Since the last time she told ye zhiqiao the truth five years ago, ye yiyu, who was locked up in the police station, had trouble sleeping and eating. She was not afraid that ye zhiqiao would retaliate against her, but that ye zhiqiao would really deal with zhuang minjia.


    After all, she was about to lose everything in this world. She had changed her face and lost her identity. Bai zixuan also regarded her as an abandoned child. She only had ye guojun and zhuang minjia as her parents. If she wanted to make a comeback after going out, she had to ensure the safety of her parents.


    So on a sunny weekend, she informed ye guojun to come to the police station to see her.


    After the plastic surgery, it was the first time she had seen her father. She took a shower and changed into clean clothes, but when she saw the face in the mirror, all the nervousness and excitement immediately disappeared.


    When ye guojun saw her, it was hard to hide his shock.


    Her daughter, who had been extremely pampered since she was a child, had completely changed after a few months. No matter how much she loved her, she would inevitably feel strange.


    "Yi yu, are you... Okay?"


    Ye yiyu looked at him impatiently and nodded indifferently, "That''s it. What about you? How are you doing with my mother?"


    She really cared about what ye zhiqiao threatened her to say. Ye guojun was not a gentleman. Seeing that zhuang minjia was old and had lost her daughter, it was possible to abandon her after all.


    Fortunately, ye guojun still had a conscience and said worriedly, "After you disappeared, your mother and I were in a terrible hurry. She even went to see a psychiatrist during that time, and it was just a little bit more during that time. I didn''t tell her about you contacting me, because I was afraid that she would be irritated to see you like this... Again."


    "Really?" Ye yi replied in a neutral tone and then asked, "What about ye zhiqiao? Have you seen her?"


    At the mention of ye zhiqiao, ye guojun immediately remembered his last experience in the hospital, and his face immediately darkened.


    "I don''t have a daughter like her! She''s an ungrateful wolf with white eyes!"


    The last time he asked for help, he was taught a lesson by ye zhiqiao. After he went back, he posted on the internet and splashed a basin of dirty water on ye zhiqiao. Later, when gu mohan and su yanbai got engaged, he thought it was his own credit, but he didn''t expect the engagement to fail.


    "What are you going to do next?"


    "Hmm?!" Hearing ye yiyu''s question, ye guojun was stunned and said with a blank face, "What do you want to do?"


    Ye guojun was old, and his thoughts and reactions were always slow.


    Ye yiyu said angrily, "Of course it''s a lesson for ye zhiqiao! I can help you with the things you can''t do on your own. Although I can''t get out now, I already know ye zhiqiao. As long as you do as I say, you will soon be able to let this unfilial daughter get the punishment she deserves."


    Ye guojun looked at ye yiyu in shock. He felt that ye yiyu, who was flaunting his teeth and claws in front of him, looked like a stranger.


    I don''t know when his happy family had been scattered like this.


    No father, no son.


    And all of this, because of ye zhiqiao!


    He was ye zhiqiao''s father, but that did not affect his hatred for her. Ye guojun nodded with a heavy face and said, "Okay, dad will come with you and teach your heartless sister a lesson!"


    Ye zhiqiao must not know that just when she wanted to live her life in peace, there were so many people who hated her deeply in places she could not see.


    At this time, she was still looking for her daughter while accompanying little treasure.


    After the bad weather of the previous period, the city ushered in the first sunny weekend. Parents on leave took their children on a trip. They could hear the bustle of the streets outside the window when they were still immersed in their dreams early in the morning.


    It was rare for little treasure not to lie in bed. When he woke up, he leaned over to ye zhiqiao''s ear and said over and over again that he wanted to go out to play.


    Ye zhiqiao felt a milky smell at the end of her nose, and her ears were tickled by the warm air. She closed her eyes and reached out to grab a small ball.


    "Ouch -"


    She yawned, patted little treasure on the butt, pretended to be angry and said, "Little thing, what a disturbing dream this morning? Tell me where you want to go. If you''re in a good mood, go. If you''re not, don''t go."


    Little treasure was not afraid of ye zhiqiao. He continued to climb on her face and do evil. But he answered honestly, "Amusement park, amusement park, aunt ye and father haven''t taken little treasure to the amusement park for a long time. Last time, you said you would take me to the amusement park often!"


    So it''s an amusement park, isn''t that hard to handle?


    Ye zhiqiao sat up straight from the bed, her eyes closed and her face sad, which made little treasure giggle. Then she opened her eyes suddenly, took little treasure into her arms, and put her forehead on her head, saying, "Ok - listen to you, go wherever you say!"


    "Aunt ye is the best!!!"


    When little treasure heard this, he cheered and hugged ye zhiqiao''s neck and gave her a big kiss.

 Chapter 434 Yi Shaozhi, Su Yanbai, Was Released One After Another

    "Ringling -"


    The phone rang a few times. Gu mohan put down his work and picked it up. He found that it was ye zhiqiao.


    When he went to work in the morning, he saw that ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were still asleep. He didn''t wake them up, but it was not noon yet. He didn''t know what ye zhiqiao was calling him for.


    On the other end of the phone, ye zhiqiao seemed to be cooking, and the sound of steam came through the receiver, inexplicably making him feel warm and at ease.


    "Hello, gu mohan?" Ye zhiqiao turned off the fire and leaned against the cupboard and asked, "Do you have time this afternoon? Little treasure wants to go to the amusement park. Do you want to go with him?"


    As a child, he wanted to go to the amusement park in two or three days. He mentioned it to him a while ago, but he was too busy with work to make it.


    And this time... It still doesn''t seem to work.


    Gu mohan flipped through the schedule and crossed his index finger under a line of accentuated words. Then he said apologetically, "I''m afraid not. There''s an important charity dinner this afternoon. The invitation was sent over ten days ago. I can''t refuse it. You should take little treasure with you. Have fun."


    In the end, he added, "If there''s a chance, I''ll come out early, but you don''t have to wait for me."


    "Well... Okay then."


    Ye zhiqiao seemed to have guessed that he had no time, so she did not force him.


    After putting down the phone, gu mohan thought about it and called his assistant.


    "In the afternoon, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao are going out. Help me send a few bodyguards to follow them. Things have been very chaotic recently. The su family, the yi family and the ye family may be moving. I am worried that they will encounter an accident."


    Although he would try his best to get out of it as soon as possible, that kind of heavy banquet was not as small as the small fights in the mall. It was estimated that he could not help but go in. He still had to be fully prepared to ensure the safety of ye zhiqiao and little treasure.


    The assistant agreed and turned to leave.


    In the afternoon, at the amusement park.


    Because it was the weekend, the amusement park was filled with people. Ye zhiqiao took little treasure for a long time to line up and play one or two events. Just as she was about to take the ferris wheel, little treasure''s stomach began to growl.


    A while ago at the gu family mansion, little treasure was unfamiliar with the environment and was not in a good mood to eat properly. All the meat raised by ye zhiqiao had lost weight again, so when she saw that she was hungry, ye zhiqiao quickly took her to the supermarket.


    The two of them finally ordered some cake and juice at the dessert shop.


    Ye zhiqiao cut the cake into small pieces and asked bao to dig for it with a spoon. When she was about to eat something, the phone in her bag suddenly buzzed.


    The caller id showed yi chen, whom she had never seen since the engagement party.


    The proposal of yi chen at the engagement banquet still made ye zhiqiao a little embarrassed. Although there were a lot of interludes later that day, this matter had almost been forgotten by everyone, but as the protagonist, she was still difficult to let go for a while.


    She cleared her throat and asked in a natural tone, "Yichen, what''s the matter?"


    "Well..."


    Yi chen seemed to have just finished his exercise. After a reply, he gasped heavily and did not speak for a long time.


    Ye zhiqiao did not understand what he wanted to do, and was about to say, "If there is nothing else, just hang up." Yi chen finally opened his mouth again.


    "Where are you now?"


    As soon as he finished asking, he seemed to find the question a little ambiguous. Yi chen sighed and changed his words, "Forget it. No matter where you are, you''d better not go out these days, or let gu mohan find a few bodyguards to follow you, because just now... Su yanbai is out of prison."


    "!"


    Su yanbai was released from prison. While the entire su family was preoccupied, su yanbai actually came out?!


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised, but yi chen was more surprised and angry than she was.


    -


    The cause of the incident was that the Yi family spent a lot of money, got through a lot of joints, and rescued yi shaozhi from the police station who was "Waiting to be dealt with."


    Yi shaozhi was different from su yanbai, ye yiyu and the others. His crime was serious if he said it was not serious. Although he had brought explosives to threaten su yanbai at that time, yi chen had already subdued him before the police passed. As long as yi chen insisted that yi shaozhi was pulling himself back from the cliff, his behavior was at most an attempt to affect public safety, accompanied by remorse.


    The only thing worse was the explosives.


    However, those explosives were bought by yi shaozhi from the underworld to make crude civil explosives at a low cost, not even chemicals. At most, they were dangerous goods. The Yi family found a random person to take the blame and bribed a few people above them. With a little bit of help, yi shaozhi was released on bail.


    If it weren''t for gu mohan''s recent attack on the yi family and the yi family''s troubles, yi shaozhi would have come out long ago.


    At this point, things are still within the scope of yi chen''s acceptance. After all, yi shaozhi is his brother, and he does not want his family to go to jail.


    But after yi shaozhi came out, he immediately did something that shocked everyone.


    He actually used all his connections and nearly half of his wealth to get su yanbai out!!!


    Yi chen really couldn''t understand. It was because of su yanbai''s scheme that yi shaozhi came to this stage. Why did yi shaozhi still refuse to lose his way?


    Yi shaozhi was in charge of the Yi''s. After making such a stupid decision, no one in the yi family dared to object except him. Even his father acquiesced to yi shaozhi''s behavior!


    Before calling ye zhiqiao, yi chen had just had a fight with his family at home.


    He argued for yi shaozhi to give up su yanbai, but yi shaozhi''s attitude was unusually cold.


    "My business is none of your business!" After staying in the detention center for a few days, yi shaozhi was much thinner, but his dictatorial demeanor did not diminish, "You don''t want to interfere in the company''s affairs, so don''t interfere in the family''s affairs. Go and be your young master!"


    "If you''re not my brother, do you think I have the heart to care about you? It didn''t matter if you liked su yanbai before, but can''t you tell who su yanbai is now? What else do you like about her? She dares to kidnap now and kill in the future!"


    "Bullshit!"


    Yi shaozhi was enraged and rushed to attack.


    Father yi hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but he still spoke in favor of yi shaozhi, "Xiao chen, your brother just came back. Don''t be angry with him. He has his own limits."


    Yi chen looked at the two of them speechlessly and said loudly, "If he had a sense of propriety, he wouldn''t have gone to get su yanbai! Well, I don''t care about you, do I? Let''s just wait and see how yi shaozhi was played to death by that woman su yanbai!"


    After leaving this sentence, yi chen ran out of the house in a huff, and there was a scene of his uneven breathing when he called ye zhiqiao.

 Chapter 435 The Ferris Wheel at the Top

    "... Anyway, just listen to me and be careful. I''ll try my best to keep an eye on my brother''s movements. I''ll let you know if anything happens."


    Yi chen told ye zhiqiao the whole story, then comforted her, "But you don''t have to be too afraid. After all, su yanbai just came out, she shouldn''t dare to do anything."


    "...


    "Hello? Are you still listening?" Yi chen spoke alone for a long time, but he did not hear ye zhiqiao''s answer, so he could not help but wonder.


    "I heard it. Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao said with great emotion.


    I can''t imagine that yi chen could treat her so unreservedly after being rejected so many times in front of everyone. Ye zhiqiao really doesn''t know how to treat yi chen.


    Closer, she was afraid that yi chen would still not give up on her, and if he continued to pester her, he would be more hurt.


    However, whenever she wanted to keep a distance from yi chen, or even alienate him, yi chen would always appear in this kind of care that she could not refuse. Besides being touched and grateful, she seemed to have no other way.


    Through the phone, yi chen could feel her dilemma.


    He just wanted to protect her and never meant to disturb her, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.


    "Aunt ye, who are you talking to? Is that dad? When is he coming?" Asked little treasure, who had rubbed the cream on his nose, with a bitter face and raised his head.


    Ye zhiqiao took out a tissue and wiped her face as she replied, "It''s not dad, it''s auntie''s friend. Daddy has something to do today. I don''t think he''s coming over. Aunt ye will accompany you, okay?"


    Little treasure puffed up her mouth and felt reluctant. After all, she wanted to play with her parents like other children.


    However, she also knew that her father was busy with work, so she could only nod her head sensibly.


    "Good boy!"


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed her head, pushed the juice in front of her, and then asked, "What does little treasure want to play after eating? Ferris wheel or merry-go-round? We haven''t been on a merry-go-round for a long time. You were still clamoring to sit at the amusement park last time."


    Children''s preferences changed day by day. Ever since they saw the ferris wheel on tv, which was full of colorful lights and could rise to a very high place, the carousel had long been forgotten by little treasure.


    "Ferris wheel, play ferris wheel! We agreed just now!"


    Little treasure twisted his little body and played tricks on ye zhi.


    In fact, ye zhiqiao didn''t really want to take little treasure on the ferris wheel. Although the ferris wheel was not as dangerous as a pirate ship, it rose to a higher position after all.


    However, little treasure really wanted to play, and it was very annoying. Ye zhiqiao had casually promised before, so she couldn''t keep her word, so she had to take her there.


    Standing under the ferris wheel, little treasure looked up at the "Big guy" who was much taller than her with his mouth open, and his hand holding the corner of ye zhiqiao''s clothes tightened subconsciously.


    Ye zhiqiao squatted down and discussed with her for the last time, "Now you can go back on your word. If you think this is too high, auntie will take you to other projects."


    "No way." Little treasure''s eyes were shining, how could he give up? "Let''s go up!"


    Ye zhi qiao tilted her head and took her soft little hand, "Okay."


    Then, the two of them followed the crowd into the venue, lined up and walked into the small house with the help of the staff.


    Closing the door, little treasure half-knelt on his seat and looked out through the window to see what was new.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at her dotingly until the ferris wheel started to start and she was pulled back to sit down and checked her seat belt again.


    "Little treasure should be careful when playing with any amusement facilities. Although this small house looks very safe, since there is a safety belt, it proves that there is a certain danger factor, so you must fasten your safety belt firmly and not walk around casually."


    Ye zhiqiao took this opportunity to educate xiao bao on safety, but his attention was clearly drawn to the scenery outside the window.


    As the two of them ascended higher, the scenery became more and more stunning, until they reached the top floor, the entire amusement park could almost be seen.


    Seeing that little treasure still looked excited, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but turn her head and ask, "It''s already so high. Isn''t little treasure afraid?"


    Little treasure shook his head with a grin and looked very happy, "No, I''m not afraid. It''s so beautiful here. It''s even better than flying."


    The words came to an abrupt end.


    Not only little treasure and ye zhiqiao, but everyone on the ferris wheel and even in the amusement park was stunned for a few seconds.


    Little treasure came back to his senses, blinked his big eyes and turned to ask ye zhiqiao, "Aunt ye, why isn''t the little house leaving? Little treasure wants to take a look down there."


    Ye zhiqiao did not answer, but leaned on the window and looked out.


    It was not dark yet, so she could not tell if the lights on the amusement park were still on, and because of the distance, she could not see clearly the crowd below. She could only see that the pirate ship, which had just swung heavily, was still standing there.


    Could it be... A power outage!


    Ye zhiqiao panicked and quickly returned to her seat and held little treasure in her arms.


    How could such a large amusement park suddenly lose power? And she and little treasure were in the small house on the top of the highest ferris wheel in the entire amusement park, which was definitely a very dangerous place!


    Perhaps it was ye zhiqiao''s panic that affected little treasure, or perhaps it was slowly realizing the seriousness of the problem, and the little treasure in ye zhiqiao''s arms did not have the excitement just now, so he shut his mouth tightly and stared at ye zhiqiao without saying a word.


    Ye zhiqiao sensed her fear and quickly stroked her back to comfort her, "It doesn''t matter, little treasure. It should be a power outage. Just now, auntie looked down and someone had already gone to fix it. We can go out in a while. Don''t be afraid."


    "Really?" Little treasure asked hesitantly.


    She nodded her head firmly. At this point, she could only lie to make little treasure feel at ease. Otherwise, little treasure would start crying in fear, and there was nothing she could do about it.


    "Little treasure, don''t you still have the chocolates from your aunt at the dessert shop in your pocket? Take it out and eat first. Auntie will call your father to see if he can come and pick us up."


    Ye zhiqiao pretended to be relaxed and smiled, then called gu Mohan for help.


    But after several calls in a row, the other party showed that they were on the phone.


    As time went by, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but get anxious. She was thinking about whether to call jian mengqi or yi chen, but she suddenly made a strange noise above her head.

 Chapter 436 Damn the Phone

    "Creak - creak -"


    The sound was not very loud, and if the ferris wheel worked normally, it might not even be heard.


    But at this moment, ye zhiqiao and xiao bao were nervous, so such an unusual and piercing sound naturally could not escape their ears.


    Before little treasure could ask ye zhiqiao what the sound was, the little house they were in shook slightly again, as if it had been felt before the earthquake.


    Little treasure was now completely frightened.


    Standing alone in a small space 100 meters above the ground, not to mention a child, even an adult could not bear such psychological pressure!


    "Shut up... Aunt ye..."


    Little treasure shrank in ye zhiqiao''s arms and groaned, obviously frightened.


    On the surface, ye zhiqiao pretended to be fine and comforted little treasure, but she was also worried.


    The amusement park had been built for many years, and the ferris wheel was a new project, but it had been built for several years. There were people coming and going every day, and there were even more people on weekends or holidays. Perhaps it had not been repaired since it was built, or it had only been repaired a few times.


    If it was as she thought, then the noise they had just heard and the shaking of the small house might have been a loosening of the internal link somewhere!


    Even with the safety belt protection, if you fall from a hundred meters, the consequences will be unimaginable!


    Ye zhiqiao could not help but tremble. She took a few deep breaths and hugged the baby tightly.


    If something really happened, she would fight to protect little treasure!


    "Yeah, okay... See you next time, then. Bye."


    The 20-minute international call finally ended. Gu mohan and the other party roughly finalized the next cooperation plan. The pressure and fatigue caused by the intense work immediately eased a lot.


    He raised his head and downed the glass of red wine.


    Shen mo nong stepped on his high heels and approached him with graceful steps. When she reached him, she patted him on the shoulder and pretended to be surprised, saying, "You are here too. What a coincidence!"


    Recently, shen mosheng became famous at the speed of light, and it was expected that he would attend this banquet. Gu mohan nodded calmly and replied, "It''s a coincidence."


    Gu mohan was too calm, and shen monong''s excitement just now seemed deliberate. She covered her embarrassment with a chuckle, then said without a word, "I heard that the gu family has been developing very well recently. There are many big projects at home and abroad. Congratulations."


    Under the huge crystal lamp, shen monong was wearing a lot of makeup, and a smile was full of amorous feelings.


    Several men around her had secretly looked at her for a long time, but when they saw that the person she was talking to was gu mohan of the gu group, they all gave up.


    Gu mohan, however, remained calm and replied politely, "Congratulations to miss shen, too. You can often see miss shen on tv and on the news recently. It is said that it is almost time for you to step into the front line."


    Shen mo nong lowered his head and smiled, not modestly.


    Then she suggested, "Since you and I both have happy events, why don''t we have a drink together?"


    Drinking and socializing were common at banquets, and gu mohan had no reason to refuse.


    Shen monong raised his hand to summon the waiter, motioning him to change the empty glass in gu mohan''s hand and bring another glass of wine.


    As the waiter left, shen mo long continued to chat with gu mo han, but his expression seemed a little absent-minded.


    Because in the empty corner of the banquet hall, the waiter was pouring wine into a brand new goblet, and the white powder in the goblet was slowly melting with the tea-red liquid until it disappeared.


    The waiter came back to deliver the wine, and when gu mohan was not paying attention, he quietly colored shen monong.


    Shen mo nong immediately understood, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a smile mixed with reassurance, excitement and anticipation.


    She raised her glass and said to gu mohan, "Then, shall we drink?"


    Gu mohan nodded and smiled. He gently clinked his glass with her and then put the goblet to his lips.


    Time seemed to have suddenly slowed down the speed of the journey. Shen monong forgot about the wine in his glass and stared directly at gu mohan.


    As the cup tilted, the tea-red liquid mixed with a special powder with fine lines slowly approached the two thin lips...


    "Bell - bell -"


    The piercing bell suddenly rang, and shen mo thick''s heart trembled, almost slipping his hand and dropping the cup.


    Just a little bit!!!


    She clenched her fists and thought angrily.


    Gu mohan took out his cell phone and apologized to her. When he retreated to the corner, he seemed to be wondering how she had reacted.


    Then gu mohan looked back and picked up the phone.


    "President gu, it''s me."


    It was gu mohan''s bodyguard.


    When gu mohan heard the bodyguard''s call, he immediately realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What happened to ye zhiqiao and little treasure?"


    "President gu, miss ye and little treasure have been playing in the amusement park, but when they were on the ferris wheel, the amusement park suddenly lost power. Now they are still trapped at the top of the ferris wheel and can''t get down."


    "Did you inform the rescue team?"


    Gu mohan casually placed the goblet on the table and turned to walk towards the door, not noticing shen monong''s concerned inquiry behind his back.


    The bodyguard thought about looking around and replied, "A lot of people have called the police, and the amusement park is looking for a reason, but it seems that it can''t be solved in a while. Everything else is easy to say, but the ferris wheel is too high and there is no place to climb around."


    "Okay, I got it." Gu mohan got in the car and said nervously, "I''ll go over now. You stay there and let me know if anything happens."


    Then, he slammed on the gas pedal and the car sped out like an arrow from a string. Shen monong, who had caught up from behind, only had time to take a look at the back of the car.


    She stomped her foot fiercely, biting her lips and staring in the direction of gu mohan''s departure.


    God knows how hard she has worked for this hard-won opportunity today!


    A while ago, he tried his best to raise his popularity so that he could be qualified to attend this banquet and stand side by side with gu mohan.


    Before coming to the banquet, she spent a lot of money to rent this custom-made dress and accessories, and then bought the waiter just now, even she had the media and reporters ready!


    As long as gu mohan drank the wine, she could take him to the break room and let nature take its course in some of the things that were "Accidentally" discovered by the reporters...


    By then, her plan with her father would have been a piece of cake!


    No matter from love or morality, gu mohan could no longer draw a clear line with her, and she could be the wife of the gu family!


    But it was that damn phone call that ruined everything!


    It was very likely that she would never have another chance like this. She saw it clearly and almost drank it...

 Chapter 437 The Ferris Wheel Accident

    "Aunt ye, the ground... The ground seems to be shaking all the time."


    On the ferris wheel, little treasure clutched ye zhiqiao tightly and stared at her feet with wide eyes.


    Ye zhiqiao also felt that the small house they were in was shaking more than before, and it was even becoming more and more serious.


    However, she had no choice but to hold little treasure tighter and look forward to the arrival of rescue workers.


    At this moment, she was finally able to deeply understand the feelings of the people trapped in the disaster. Nervousness, fear, helplessness... Life was no longer in his own hands, but in the hands of god.


    He flipped his hands, and you could live. He covers his hand, and you die.


    As her blood pressure and breathing rate increased, she raised her stiff arm to touch little treasure''s head and said in a dry voice, "Don''t be afraid of little treasure. Aunt ye will protect you. No matter what... Happens later, you have to shrink as much as you can, wrap your arms around your head, and bury yourself in aunt ye''s arms."


    Little treasure asked in a sullen voice, "Are we going to fall?"


    If you fall from here, you will die, right? When he died, he would never see his father, aunt ye, grandma li... There were many more people.


    Ye zhiqiao was unable to answer this question, let alone promise her anything.


    Because even ye zhiqiao herself did not know what kind of situation she would face next.


    "Creak - creak -"


    After a few seconds of rest, the exceptionally terrifying sound reappeared at a very fast rate, and the tremors of the small house that accompanied it were even greater.


    "Boom!"


    The bearing capacity of the connection reached a certain limit, and the small house fell down heavily. Ye zhiqiao and xiao bao also fell to one side!


    "Aunt ye, I''m afraid!!"


    Little treasure couldn''t hold on any longer and burst into tears.


    Ye zhiqiao was so scared that her breathing stopped. When she came back to her senses, her palms were covered in sticky sweat, and her whole back was stiff and sore.


    She wanted to continue comforting little treasure. The word "Don''t be afraid" was still in her mouth. Suddenly, the whole house lost its pull and fell straight down!


    -


    Under the influence of gravity, the small house was filled with ye zhiqiao and little treasure to make a free fall. In the huge falling feeling, their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, and their chests were filled with a sense of suffocation.


    A hundred meters, not too far in parallel, but extremely long in the air.


    Until ye zhiqiao even felt that she did not fall to death, but suffocated to death, there was finally a "Bang!" The sound of...


    No! It was different from the loud bang that had been expected to hit the ground! And even though she started to feel dizzy from the impact and her internal organs seemed to ache, the pain was definitely different from the feeling of hitting the ground!


    Or alive and conscious, it was definitely not the result of hitting the ground!


    She opened her eyes and looked out the window in a daze -


    The surroundings were clear.


    This is... An artificial lake in an amusement park?!


    She was startled, then lowered her head to look at the little treasure in her arms, who was as stunned as she was.


    "Aunt ye... Where is this?" Little treasure had just curled up into a ball in her arms in accordance with ye zhiqiao''s request, so he had almost no feeling except for the last time he came into contact with the water.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her neck and looked in the direction of the ferris wheel, then said clearly, "So it is. Maybe because the weight of the small house we were sitting in was uneven, we moved a little bit when we fell and fell right into the artificial lake."


    Fortunately, the bottom of this small house was strong enough to block most of the impact when it fell into the water. Otherwise, even if it did not fall on the hard ground, ye zhiqiao would have suffered a fracture.


    Little treasure didn''t quite understand the physics terms that ye zhiqiao said, but he could also understand the main idea. His frightened face finally eased a little, and then asked, "Are we all right now? Can we go out now?"


    Ye zhi looked at the boundless lake around her and shook her head, "I''m afraid not. It''s too far from the shore. I can''t swim. Besides... The door of this house is locked from the outside. Let''s..."


    As she was speaking, she suddenly felt a chill in her feet. Ye zhiqiao looked down and was shocked.


    Water!


    The little house... Is flooded!!


    Seeing that her face was not right, little treasure immediately reacted and asked in horror, "Are we going to drown?!"


    Drown? I''m afraid it''s not just drowning.


    From the beginning, ye zhiqiao felt that she was not breathing well, and now she finally understood when she saw the water.


    Normally, these small houses on the ferris wheel were well sealed and would not enter much air flow except for the necessary air. But now the water in the lake seeped in and occupied the original air space. In the long run, the more water came in, the less air could be breathed!


    The little house was slowly sinking into the water, and their breathing became more and more difficult...


    Little treasure''s cries grew louder, and she quickly patted him to dissuade him, "Little treasure, you can''t cry now. Don''t talk too much. Don''t waste your energy. Believe me, auntie. Nothing will happen. Dad will definitely come to save us. We have to wait for him."


    "Aunt ye, little treasure is afraid..."


    "Auntie knows, knows." Ye zhiqiao held little treasure tightly in her arms and wanted to comfort her again, but the scenery in front of her began to turn black.


    The ringtone echoed in the small space, but both of them seemed to have lost their hearing and could not hear it at all.


    "I''m sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."


    Gu mohan hit the steering wheel hard, and every cell in his body was filled with nervousness.


    He had been calling ye zhiqiao incessantly since he drove on the road, but the other party had always been in this state. He made many guesses, but it was futile before he met ye zhiqiao and xiao bao.


    Helplessly, the bodyguard called again.


    "Master gu, miss ye and little treasure''s sedan fell into the lake! But don''t worry. I''ve already called to hurry. The rescue workers will be there soon."


    As he spoke, gu mohan heard the alarm coming from the opposite side.


    Sure enough, the next second the bodyguard told him happily, "Here we are! President gu, the fire engine and the ambulance are here!"


    "I''m almost there too. You stay there first. You''ll follow them when they go to the hospital!" Gu mohan glanced at the traffic light above him and stepped on the accelerator.


    "Yes."


    The bodyguard agreed, then hung up the phone and looked into the lake with bated breath.


    A long arm was raised on the fire engine, and a hook was hung at the end of the special material rope. The hook accurately found the top of the car which was already half submerged. Then it was lifted and pulled, and the sedan carrying ye zhiqiao and xiao bao slowly emerged from the water.

 Chapter 438 Ruined Birthday

    In the hospital, ye zhiqiao finally woke up under the watchful eyes of gu mohan and xiao bao after a day and night of sleep.


    She blinked her eyes in confusion, as if she was not used to the natural light in the ward.


    Seeing this, gu mohan quickly walked to the window and closed the curtains in half. Then he came back and stroked ye zhiqiao''s forehead. He asked softly, "Is this better?"


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s face became extremely frightened at the speed visible to the naked eye. She sat up abruptly, waved away Mohan''s extended hand, and asked in a dry voice, "Who are you?! Where is this? How am I... How am I here?"


    After hearing her question, gu mohan was as frightened as she was.


    "What''s wrong with you, zhiqiao? I am gu mohan!" He pointed at himself first, then pulled the unknown little treasure in front of him and continued, "And little treasure, you fell into the lake with little treasure, don''t you remember?"


    In the lake? Small house? Ferris wheel?


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and felt a mess inside.


    Seeing that she was more worried, gu mohan quickly rang the bell for the doctor, then leaned over and asked, "Do you have a headache? Or where does it hurt? Tell me what you just said. Don''t you know who I am?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked up at him for a long time, then opened her lips and asked tentatively, "Gu - mo - han? Are you gu mohan?"


    Gu mohan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her name was called out and that the light in her eyes was no longer that confused.


    "You scared me to death. Don''t you know each other? Why did you ask that question just now? I thought you lost your memory."


    "I know... I know you, and I know little treasure, but..." Ye zhiqiao shook her head again, as if there was always a sense of nothingness in it, "Why can''t I remember why I was hospitalized? There are other... Things that I know, why do I seem to forget?"


    Forget what you know?


    She said nothing, and gu mohan could not understand what she was saying. Just as he was wondering, the doctor pushed the door open and walked in.


    The doctor first gave ye zhiqiao some routine tests, then asked a few questions, and then said, "The patient has a partial memory loss, which we had expected before, so the family members don''t have to worry too much."


    "Partial memory loss?" Gu mohan read out the symptoms word by word and looked at the doctor, puzzled, "What does that mean? What did she forget?"


    "It''s not easy to say. It could be someone, or something, important or unimportant. It''s possible, and it''s not easy to say if you can remember it later."


    The doctor frowned awkwardly and then said, "The main reason for this is that the patient experienced a long period of hypoxia, and part of the brain cells lost their activity. The result is largely irreversible."


    A prolonged lack of oxygen caused... That is, if they were rescued earlier, they wouldn''t have had the same result.


    Gu mohan turned to look at ye zhiqiao, his eyes filled with heartache and guilt.


    After ye zhiqiao was sent to the hospital, he waited in front of the emergency room and saw the phone call ye zhiqiao made earlier.


    At that time, he was standing at a charity banquet in a suit and was excited about the success of a big project.


    At that time, ye zhiqiao gambled all her hopes and called him for help.


    He missed it. If he could get that call, if he could get there as soon as possible, even if he jumped into the water to comfort ye zhiqiao, it would be better than this.


    However, it was too late to say anything at this time, and there was no way to exercise in the accident, so he could only try his best to make up for it in the future.


    Just a few days later, it was ye zhiqiao''s birthday.


    After losing part of her memory, ye zhiqiao was always depressed. She sat by the window and stared at the distance all day, occasionally showing pain in her expression, as if she was trying to recall something but nothing came of it.


    Seeing how distressed she was, gu mohan decided to make her happy on this birthday.


    For this reason, he brought people to decorate the ward in a grand way, and bought a lot of flowers and threw them on the ground, hydrogen balloons piled on the ceiling, just like when he had confessed to ye zhiqiao before.


    Because ye zhiqiao didn''t like to be noisy recently, he didn''t inform jian mengqi, not even little treasure, only he and ye zhiqiao.


    However, the sky did not go according to people''s wishes. Just as everything was going smoothly, no one expected that zhuang minjia would actually rush into the ward!


    Ye zhiqiao stopped in the middle of blowing out the candles, and the lights in the ward suddenly lit up. Zhuang minjia''s eyes were full of provocation.


    "Oh, birthday?!"


    After leaving the ye family, ye zhiqiao never saw zhuang minjia again. Even if it wasn''t to threaten ye yiyu last time, she had already forgotten this person.


    Why did zhuang minjia suddenly come here?


    Birthday is a good day, ye zhiqiao didn''t want to cause trouble, so she politely called out "Auntie," and then asked, "What''s the matter with you coming here? Today is my birthday, so..."


    "So I can''t come?"


    Zhuang minjia raised her chin, her eyes still bitter, "Have you ever heard of this saying on your birthday? I don''t think I gave birth to you, but after all, your own mother is dead. As your stepmother, I''m half your mother. Shouldn''t you come home to see me on such a day?"


    At this point, zhuang minjia''s meaning was already obvious.


    She came here to find something, and deliberately chose ye zhiqiao''s birthday to make things difficult for her.


    Who doesn''t know what kind of life ye zhiqiao has been living since zhuang minjia entered the ye family gate? She doesn''t look like miss ye anymore, more like she''s living under someone''s roof! After ye yiyu was born, zhuang minjia''s pressure on her increased.


    Where did zhuang minjia''s confidence come from?!


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to waste her breath with her, so she refused directly, "I won''t go back to that house. You don''t have to waste your breath."


    "Is that how you talk to your elders? You still don''t appreciate my kind offer to invite you back?!" Zhuang minjia''s eyes widened and she snapped, "You have to go back today, and you have to go back if you don''t! You are the daughter of the ye family, and your surname is ye. This cannot be changed!"


    Have you started acting rascal?


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and replied coldly, "You keep saying that I am a member of the ye family, but I believe that if you hadn''t taken a fancy to the zeros in my savings and the status of the person beside me, even if I died outside, you wouldn''t have looked at my daughter more!"


    Her words were true, and zhuang minjia was speechless for a moment. She looked at gu mohan and then at her, gasping and staring.

 Chapter 439 The Cause and Effect of "magic"

    Ye zhiqiao ordered him to leave again, "You can go back. Don''t disturb our birthday."


    Zhuang minjia was so angry at her indifferent look that she broke the jar and said, "I''m not leaving! If you don''t come back with me today, I will never leave! I''ve never seen a girl like you. Five years ago, you were pregnant before you got married, but now you''re stuck with a man like this, and you don''t even care about your family... You''re such a shameless, vicious person!"


    "Aunt zhuang!"


    Before ye zhiqiao could speak, gu mohan had already taken the lead and said calmly, "For the sake of zhi qiao calling you auntie, I''ll call you that, but you''d better not push too hard. To tell you the truth, there are still my bodyguards in the corridor of the hospital. If you continue to cause trouble, I''ll call them in right away. I''m afraid you''ll lose face then!"


    Bodyguard?!


    Zhuang minjia looked down and recalled for a moment. When she walked over just now, she seemed to have seen some strange looking men.


    But so what? In broad daylight, even if he was good at Mohan, would he still dare to bully people?!


    Zhuang minjia did not believe in this evil spirit, so she stuck her neck up and raised her voice, "Then call me. I''m here to find my daughter. What right do you have to chase me away? How great do you think you are? Didn''t your gu family almost go bankrupt a while ago?!"


    Gu mohan took a deep breath. He felt that there was no need for him to talk to a middle-aged housewife who was in menopause and had no quality to speak of.


    Then he looked sideways at ye zhiqiao and silently asked for advice.


    Ye zhiqiao frowned and acquiesced to his idea.


    Then, gu mohan took out his cell phone and called the bodyguard outside.


    When zhuang minjia saw this, she finally believed that gu mohan was coming for real and panicked.


    But the big words had already been released, and it would be too intimidating to be soft at once. So before the bodyguards came in, zhuang minjia was frantically rampaging around the room. The flowers on the floor, the colorful lights on the wall, the cakes and gifts on the table were all ruined by her!


    After she left, this birthday couldn''t go on.


    After all, things were rotten, and the good mood disappeared without a trace.


    Ye zhiqiao sat back in the chair by the window and propped herself up to look at the night scene in the distance.


    Gu mohan sent someone to clean up the mess in the room, then stood behind her for a while before walking slowly over.


    "Zhiqiao."


    He gently called her name, squatted down beside her, held her hand and promised, "You have a good rest. After you leave the hospital, I will make up for your birthday, okay? I promise, it will be bigger and more surprising than this one today."


    Birthday, just find an excuse to enjoy life. Ye zhiqiao didn''t care whether it was a surprise or not. She just wanted to make herself and the people around her happy.


    Today, because of zhuang minjia''s appearance, she was really disappointed, but with gu mohan''s comfort and company, she still felt happy and happy.


    She raised the corner of her mouth to reveal her first heartfelt smile after her injury, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay."


    During her recovery, jian mengqi, who was busy dealing with the unexpected situation in the studio day and night, finally heard about ye zhiqiao''s accidental injury. After that, she left the studio and dragged Qin Baiye to buy a pile of nutrition products and rushed to the hospital.


    Hearing that ye zhiqiao had amnesia, jian mengqi was so scared that she kept grabbing ye zhiqiao, forcing her to tell her the process of meeting and knowing each other and getting along with each other.


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t laugh or cry, and gu mohan was also very tasteful. After all, he didn''t ask ye zhiqiao so carefully, so he stopped her and said, "Come on, Zhiqiao''s head hurts when he thinks about the past. I think it hurts more when he thinks about you. You should be honest and visit the doctor. Don''t get any trouble."


    "Why am I such a moth? I am concerned about the friendship between zhiqiao and me. What do you know, big man? Stop messing around!" Jian mengqi gave him a white look and replied angrily.


    Seeing that this pair of enemies were about to start the "War," ye zhiqiao hurriedly made things right and said, "All right, all right, you can rest assured. All of you, I haven''t forgotten a single one, and I remember it clearly."


    Then she tilted her head and said hesitantly, "I seem to have forgotten only some things that I have experienced, such as when I fell into the water, when I took over the mengxing group, and so on. In short, it doesn''t hurt. Oh yes!"


    She suddenly thought of something. She opened the drawer of the nightstand and took out a piece of drawing paper from it. She handed it to jian mengqi and said with blinking eyes, "Look at this. What''s the difference between this and my previous work?"


    Jian mengqi and Qin Baiye looked at each other, then took the drawing paper in confusion.


    Upon closer inspection, both eyes lit up!


    Jian mengqi reacted quickly and asked first, "Is your design different from before? Hmm... I can''t tell exactly what''s going on, but it seems that everything is different... Oh! I don''t know how to describe it!"


    She turned to Qin Baiye for help, and Qin Baiye immediately saved the day, "To be precise, this work is more like ye zhiqiao''s work ten years later."


    Design depends on talent as well as learning. It''s all a process of subtle changes from day to night, but from this work, ye zhiqiao''s design seems to have suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, even higher than the previous internationally favored designs!


    It would have been hard to believe it if they hadn''t seen it with their own eyes.


    After Qin Baiye finished speaking, she and jian mengqi looked at ye zhiqiao in surprise, hoping that she could answer the question.


    Unfortunately, ye zhiqiao herself did not know the specific reason, so she could only guess and say, "Maybe because of this accident, the doctor said that I was in a state of hypoxia for a long time, and some brain cells lost their activity. I think that might be the reason, so I am improving my design ability."


    Because of a life-threatening accident, it improved the ability to design?


    "Wow, that sounds magical!"


    Jian mengqi rushed over and hugged ye zhiqiao. Shaking and shaking, she said, "I don''t care. You are a magical woman anyway. I want to hold you and get lucky so that I can figure out what happened in my studio!"


    From the time she met gu mohan five years ago to this moment, ye zhiqiao seemed to be experiencing all kinds of accidents all the time, and then trying all kinds of ways to get out of danger. It shouldn''t be too much to use the word "Magic."


    Ye zhi coincidentally raised her hand around jian mengqi and smiled helplessly, "Okay, if you want the blessing, take it. But you have to leave the blessing of design to me. I still have to concentrate on design and go to the world."

 Chapter 440 Mu Xuefengs Invitation

    This morning, ye zhiqiao woke up feeling refreshed and in a rare mood. She followed the nurse to do an examination and was told that her physical condition had returned to normal. She could be discharged after a few more days of recuperation.


    Soon, she didn''t have to stay in the hospital all day long, and ye zhi happened to be granted an amnesty. Then she thought that she would continue to work after leaving the hospital, so she opened her notebook and prepared to take a look at the progress of her previous work.


    When she reached the mailbox, an email from yesterday afternoon was lying quietly inside.


    At noon, gu mohan went from the company to the hospital to deliver lunch to ye zhiqiao, and ye zhiqiao mentioned it.


    "Mohan, do you remember Mu Xuefeng?" Ye zhiqiao asked as she bit on the drumstick.


    Without thinking, gu mohan replied, "Yes, I know you. Didn''t you work together before? By the way, he helped you. What''s wrong?"


    "Oh, he sent an email yesterday."


    Ye zhiqiao put down her chopsticks, and there seemed to be some sadness between her brows, "He said that there was an international exhibition recently, and he hoped that I would cooperate with him temporarily."


    Ye zhiqiao had also seen the publicity from the news before that international exhibition. It was jointly organized by dozens of excellent fashion design companies at home and abroad. It was a huge momentum. The famous designers in the industry all wanted to participate, so she naturally wanted to go, but...


    "Let you participate as his designer?" Gu mohan asked.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "Yeah, that''s not good, right? I''m now an employee of the gu family, and I''m going to participate under the name of the mu family. If anyone finds out, they''ll definitely make bad guesses. Besides, the mu family and the gu family are competitors in some ways."


    This was one of the reasons why she was in a difficult position, and because of all the recent accidents, she had been taking a long time off from work. If she participated in this exhibition, she would have to spend time preparing her work, which would probably delay her work.


    Ever since she saw the email in the morning, she had been struggling for a long time. Although she knew it was not appropriate, she still wanted to ask gu mohan for an idea.


    Gu mohan did not feel that there was anything indecisive about this matter, so he immediately decided for her, "Yes, of course. Design is your dream. Being a gu employee is just a matter of time. Neither I nor the company can stop you from achieving your dream."


    Hearing Mohan say this, ye zhiqiao was very happy, but she still apologized, "In that case, it might delay work."


    This is even more trivial!


    "During your absence, I always let my assistant take over your work. At the very least, I''ll take some more time. He''ll have to thank you for the bonus."


    Gu mohan''s words were easy, but ye zhiqiao knew that with his assistant''s current level, he definitely didn''t care about the bonus. He just wanted to reassure her.


    Seeing that she was still hesitating, gu mohan patted the table and raised his voice, "That''s it! Don''t think about anything else. It took me a long time to get this chance. If you don''t agree, I''ll do it for you. Mu Xuefeng''s contact information is still there. It''s a phone call."


    Gu mohan looked serious, as if ye zhiqiao dared to say "No" again. He really wanted to call mu xuefeng.


    Ye zhiqiao was amused by his appearance and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good. I''ll go. Just in time for my stay in the hospital, I can draw designs. Maybe I can finish them before I leave the hospital."


    On this side, ye zhiqiao recovered and her career was quite smooth. On the other side, shen monong''s situation was very different from hers.


    A few days ago, at the charity party, gu Mohan received a call and suddenly left. She stayed there alone. When shen mo nong returned, the reporters contacted her one after another and asked her to give an explanation. In the end, it took a lot of money to settle it.


    But things were settled, and face was lost.


    Bai zixuan had come up with the idea of using a scheme to spread rumors with gu mohan. If the plan failed, shen monong would naturally go to bai zixuan.


    Seeing that a few days had passed and shen mo long was still in a state of exasperation, bai zixuan could not help but shake his head and say, "Why are you so impatient? Failure is a normal thing. I''ve planned it so many times before. Which time has it been completely successful? Elder sister, can you not be so glassy?"


    "My glass heart?!"


    Shen mocheng stopped when he heard this.


    She was different from bai zixuan and ye yiyu. They were all the rich sons of the upper class from a young age. They had the best food and clothes, and they were always fawning around a group of people. And what about her? With the reputation of shen Qingyuan''s illegitimate daughter, living a life of ostracism and ridicule, her own mother had no ability to let her eat and wear warm.


    She had come to this stage with much more effort than anyone else, so she naturally paid more attention to her current achievements!


    One failure was enough to make her unable to turn back!


    "I don''t care. This time, because of your plan, I lost both my husband and my army. You have to give me an explanation!" Shen monong said angrily.


    Bai zixuan pursed his lips indifferently and spread out his hands, "Okay, I''ll find a chance to help you again. Just in time, I''m going to contact su yanbai. When the three of us get together, there will always be a way to deal with ye zhiqiao."


    "I hope she''s not a good-for-nothing bag." Shen molong had always been at odds with su yanbai, so of course he didn''t have a good face.


    Bai zixuan promised, "Absolutely not a problem. She is also miss su no matter what. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and her connections can be put on the table."


    Bai zixuan boasted confidently about su yanbai''s ability, but he could not imagine that from then on, he could not contact su yanbai.


    Another person who wanted to contact su yanbai at the same time was ye yiyu.


    Ye yiyu was dragged out of the police station by father ye, and the first thing he did was find su yanbai.


    The kidnapping that caused her to stumble was caused by su yanbai. She had to get in touch with su yanbai regardless of whether she wanted compensation or continued cooperation.


    Like bai zixuan''s experience, ye yiyu made countless phone calls, but su yanbai turned on the phone.


    However, she refused to answer the call. Seeing this, she went straight to the su family and prepared to talk to su yanbai.


    At the entrance of the su family mansion, a doorbell rang for a long time before a sharp-tongued servant came out.


    "Who are you looking for?!" The servant''s attitude was very bad.


    Ye yiyu had no time to argue with her and said directly, "Is su yanbai there? I''m looking for her."


    "Miss is not here, you can go." The servant replied perfunctorily, then pretended to turn around and leave.


    "Wait!"


    Ye yiyu stopped her and her face turned ugly, "Her car is still parked in the middle of the yard. Tell me she''s not there?!"

 Chapter 441 A Text Message from Yi Chen

    In the clean and spacious courtyard, the limited edition sports car of sapphire blue was parked there at a slanting angle, very eye-catching.


    It was su yanbai''s favorite car, and ye yiyu had seen her drive it with her own eyes.


    The lie was exposed, and the servant''s expression froze for a moment, but then he broke down and said, "Hey, why are you so troublesome? You said you''re not here. Hurry up and go!"


    If ye yiyu was not sure before, then after seeing the servant''s reaction, she was sure that su yanbai did not want to see her.


    But even though su yanbai was the one who suggested the kidnapping, and su yanbai took the initiative to find her and bai zixuan, she and bai zixuan confessed su yanbai after the incident. Shouldn''t su yanbai want to kill her at a time like this? Why did he shut the door instead?


    Ye yiyu could not figure out what su yanbai was thinking, but she had already closed the door and could not force her way in. When the defendant broke into the house, neither ye guojun could protect her!


    So she had to give up su yanbai for the time being and go home to recuperate until she thought of the next suitable candidate to form an alliance.


    ...


    Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, and the ward was not turned on. In the light of the cyan-gray half-light, ye zhiqiao was drawing a design.


    Sometimes it feels like she was born for the design business. Because ever since she agreed to Mu Xuefeng''s participation in the exhibition, she had never had a good night''s sleep. Whenever and wherever there was a hint of inspiration in her mind, she would give up what was going on in her hand and grab the drawings to write and draw.


    No, not today.


    In the early morning, she was sleeping soundly when she suddenly dreamt of a scene on a show where the lace on a dress was very special. Then she woke up suddenly and began to work on the drawing in a daze.


    She didn''t even notice gu mohan coming in.


    The sky was already bright, and gu mohan looked out the window and turned off the lights.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao hadn''t noticed him yet, gu mohan sighed helplessly and waved the bag in his hand to remind him, "The little mouse is eating!!!"


    While immersed in his own world, gu mohan suddenly gave ye zhiqiao a fright with a voice.


    She patted her chest, glanced at him, then buried her head and casually said, "Put it down first, thank you."


    "...


    Gu mohan was taken aback and opened his mouth, not saying what he wanted to say.


    She got up early so that she could eat breakfast on time, but she didn''t even look at it... Well, designers always do.


    Placing a sumptuous breakfast on the table, gu mohan came to ye zhiqiao''s side.


    She peeked at the drawing she was working on, white pencil, thick and thin lines. She had to admit that the outline and structure were beautiful, but gu Mohan didn''t understand. It was only at this stage. Why couldn''t she stop for breakfast or talk to him for a while?


    Fighting over a painting made gu mohan feel a little childish. He raised his finger and swept the tip of his nose. He sat down on the chair beside the bed and praised it on purpose, "The line on the neck is nice. It can be used to decorate the collarbone. Your design has really improved."


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao picked out a colored lead from the box and continued to draw.


    Gu mohan smacked his lips, "Zhiqiao?"


    He deliberately started the conversation just to talk to her, but the other party didn''t hear him?!


    Then he raised his voice again, and ye zhiqiao looked up from the drawing paper with a blank face and asked, "Ah? What''s wrong?"


    Gu mohan blinked expressionlessly and replied, "I said your work is much better than before."


    "Oh."


    Ye zhiqiao replied perfunctorily and buried her head again.


    Ye zhiqiao, who was focused on her work, made people love and hate her. Gu mohan rubbed his brows wearily and continued, "But shall we eat first? I bought porridge and other desserts. They''re all hot. They don''t taste good when they''re cold, and they''re not good for your stomach."


    After a period of silence, ye zhiqiao changed a piece of drawing paper and said as she drew, "You eat first, I will finish right away."


    "Huh-"


    Gu mohan stood up with his thighs propped up and tried to pat ye zhiqiao on the head, but when he saw her focus, he finally gave up.


    He went to the table alone and sat down. He took out the porridge and a few buns to eat first.


    I still have to go to work later.


    "Ring the bell -" the text message sounded. He turned his head and found ye zhiqiao''s cell phone buried under a pile of food bags.


    The screen lit up, showing Mu Xuefeng''s name.


    He held up his phone and said to ye zhiqiao, "Do you want to see Mu Xuefeng''s message?"


    Ye zhiqiao was in the middle of a critical moment when she replied without raising her head, "It should be a design requirement. Take a look. There''s nothing important that you don''t have to worry about."


    Couples always have different attitudes towards each other''s mobile phone, but ye zhiqiao and gu mohan have never encountered such problems. Their lives are relatively simple and regular, with no secrets.


    Gu mohan naturally turned on his phone and flipped through the message.


    Sure enough, as ye zhiqiao said, there were some design requirements. A simple glance was nothing special. He did not disturb ye zhiqiao.


    Just as he was about to put down his phone and continue eating, Yu Guangzhong suddenly came up with a familiar name. Gu mohan held his phone close and frowned.


    It''s easy dust. A message was sent yesterday afternoon.


    Gu mohan raised his eyes to look at ye zhiqiao, who was still drawing without any distractions. His fingers were curling and straightening on the message, as if he was considering whether to click on the contents.


    To be honest, he really wanted to see it.


    After all, yi chen''s thoughts on ye zhiqiao were there, and the contents of the text message might be to show his love.


    However, reason reminded gu mohan that he could not do that.


    Ye zhiqiao reassured him to look at his phone. It was a sign of trust. He should repay her trust, not pry into her privacy.


    Struggling for a moment, gu mohan put his phone back on the table and continued to bite the bun.


    However, his face was darker than before, and the way he ate the buns was fiercer than before.


    When his girlfriend received the secret message, he was still very unhappy!


    When the food box was placed on the table for the third time and made a "Ping pong" sound, ye zhiqiao finally realized that there seemed to be something wrong with gu mohan.


    She bit her pen doubtfully, then put down the half-finished design and got out of bed to come to gu mohan.


    "You... What''s wrong?"


    She carefully stared at gu mohan and asked tentatively.


    Gu mohan patted the chair next to him and said angrily, "Sit down and eat."

 Chapter 442 Engaged, Would You Like To?

    What''s going on?!


    Ye zhiqiao sat down with a confused face and continued to stare at gu mohan.


    She could tell that gu mohan was unhappy, but she did not understand why he was unhappy. Was it because she was only focused on her work and ignored him? Is that so?


    However, although she didn''t believe that gu mohan was such a narrow-minded person, ye zhiqiao explained, "I''m sorry. I forgot everything when I drew the design drawings. I didn''t take good care of you just now. Aren''t you angry?"


    Seeing her act of kindness, gu mohan tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "This is a good thing. I support you. There''s nothing to be angry about."


    It''s not because of this. What is it?


    While ye zhiqiao was wondering, gu mohan continued, "But remember yesterday... Did you do anything that might make me angry?"


    "Ah? Yesterday?"


    After listening to gu Mohan''s question, ye zhiqiao''s expression suddenly mixed with surprise, strangeness and confusion.


    Yesterday, everything was normal for her. She got up, ate, slept, and drew designs. Besides, three meals a day were from gu mohan!


    When gu mohan left, the two of them even made out a little. What was wrong?


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s face wrinkle more and more tightly, and more and more question marks on her head, gu mohan believed that she really could not remember.


    No matter what happened to yi chen, since ye zhiqiao had no special impression, then it was not important.


    Gu mohan did not want to add so much trouble to himself and ye zhiqiao, so he had to change the topic in a hurry.


    "Forget it, it''s nothing. You should keep your brain cells to think about my next question."


    Ye zhiqiao puffed up her mouth and said with her shoulders down, "You ask."


    Gu mohan raised his hand and pinched her cheek. He wanted to say it but hesitated.


    In fact, he had considered this matter for a long time, but he had not found the right opportunity to mention it to ye zhiqiao. He just blurted it out in his head. Now that he really wanted to say it, he regretted it.


    With the previous experience with su yanbai, she should have rejected it, right?


    Gu mohan secretly looked at ye zhiqiao''s expression. Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, he encouraged her and raised his voice, "Zhiqiao, if I wanted to get engaged to you, would you be willing?"


    Engaged?!


    Ye zhiqiao thought he was talking about something as simple as "What to eat for lunch." She never expected it to be such a big engagement.


    She and gu mohan... Engaged?


    To be honest, she had just been with gu mohan and had fantasized about it when she was in love, but after going through so many things over and over again, her poor little girl''s heart had long been crushed by life.


    She felt that she was more at home with gu mohan now, but if it was about marriage, she still needed time to think about it.


    And a while ago, gu mohan broke up with su yanbai. Although it was because of gu shi and su yanbai, it was impossible to say that ye zhiqiao was not uncomfortable at all.


    Ye zhiqiao''s hesitation was written on her face, and gu mohan couldn''t ignore it if he wanted to.


    He wanted to continue fighting for himself, but he felt that he was not qualified.


    Finally, ye zhiqiao opened her mouth and said something completely unrelated: "How is little treasure''s recent physical condition? Didn''t you say that if she was stable, you would send her to kindergarten to meet her peers?"


    The topic changed so quickly that ye zhiqiao''s attitude towards the engagement was obvious.


    Gu mohan smiled bitterly, but he still answered, "Not bad. I''m in contact with you at kindergarten. You don''t have to worry. Just concentrate on your work."


    "Yeah." Ye zhiqiao agreed.


    After that, the two of them had a quiet breakfast, and ye zhiqiao went back to her bed to draw designs. Gu mohan cleaned up the garbage and went to work.


    In fact, gu mohan had expected ye zhiqiao''s reaction, but when he really faced it, he was inevitably disappointed.


    He thought that ye zhiqiao would surprise him. Ye zhiqiao thought that he would know himself.


    As time passed, it would return to its original state, gu mohan told himself.


    A few days later, ye zhiqiao was discharged.


    After days and nights of work, ye zhiqiao had already completed most of the design drawings for the exhibition when she was discharged from the hospital, so she went back to work without stopping. She could finish the rest of the design drawings in her spare time.


    After returning to work, ye zhiqiao''s position and treatment were exactly the same as before, and it was natural for her colleagues to get along with each other. Gu mohan would occasionally call her to the office for a chat in the name of business, and he would often accompany her for lunch. Everything seemed to return to the original track, moving smoothly and peacefully.


    After work that day, gu mohan invited her out for dinner.


    Unlike lunch, where you still need to stay alert for work in the afternoon, dinner allows both of you to relax completely, enjoy the delicious food, and chat and joke like a normal lover.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao liked her fried pork chops, gu mohan added an extra portion for her and said in a spoiled and teasing tone, "You love meat so much, aren''t you afraid of becoming a little fat man?"


    Ye zhiqiao proudly raised her head and said, "I''m not afraid. I''m so good-looking. Even if I become fat, I''m a good-looking fat man."


    "Yo! So confident?" Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.


    Ye zhiqiao made a face at him and then focused on the fried pork chops in front of her.


    Just looking at ye zhiqiao eating, gu mohan felt very happy, which was something he had never dared to think about before.


    Before meeting ye zhiqiao, he was the same and different from every president of the company.


    The same thing was that he always had endless social engagements and meetings, and there seemed to be no other meaning in his life other than work. The difference was that those people were always surrounded by women of different identities and personalities who were equally beautiful, and he was alone wherever he went.


    If it wasn''t for ye zhiqiao, he wouldn''t have imagined the future. After all, he was used to living over and over again and lost the ability to look forward to it.


    Fortunately, there was ye zhiqiao.


    "Hey! What are you staring at?!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s hand shook and shook in front of her eyes, and gu mohan finally came to his senses from deep thought. He smiled sheepishly and then asked, "What did you just say? I didn''t hear it."


    Ye zhiqiao pointed to the street across from her and repeated, "I said I have to go to the supermarket to buy something after dinner and go shopping. Do you want to go with me?"


    "I think..." Gu mohan took out his phone and clicked on the memo, "I don''t think so. I have to go back to the company for a video conference later. Why don''t you ask jian mengqi to come over to accompany you?"


    Ye zhiqiao knew that the company was busy.


    So she waved her hand nonchalantly, "No need. It''s easier to shop alone. I''ll be fine on my own."

 Chapter 443 Meeting Bai Zixuan by Chance, Ye Yiyu

    In the shopping mall, ye zhiqiao was carrying a shopping bag and shuttling through the school supplies store. Although she wasn''t sure if little treasure could go to school in the current situation, she wanted to prepare everything she needed first so that she wouldn''t have to rush to prepare before the time came.


    Children in kindergarten didn''t need much, and most stationery kindergartens prepared it. She only chose a schoolbag, a cup and a few boxes of crayons.


    Perhaps because of her profession, she hoped that little treasure would like to draw as much as she did.


    After choosing the items to pay for, she took out her cell phone to search for the nearest bus route and prepared to take the bus home.


    Suddenly, someone called her from behind.


    "Ye zhiqiao?"


    She turned around, stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly and said, "It''s you? Come shopping too?"


    "Mmm." Li Ruonan agreed, scratched his ear and lips, and walked towards her.


    Seeing that she was carrying a lot of things, Li Ruonan asked, "You came over after work, too? Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have some together? My treat."


    Ye zhiqiao had just eaten with gu mohan, but it didn''t seem good for Li Ruonan to invite her directly and refuse. Just as she hesitated, Li Ruonan saw her dilemma and asked, "Have you eaten? How about we go and have a drink? I''m on a diet. I''m not eating dinner."


    Li Ruonan so invited, as if there was something to say, ye zhiqiao agreed.


    In the coffee shop, Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao sat down together.


    After ordering something good, Li Ruonan took a gulp of iced coffee and narrowed his eyes, "It''s so comfortable. It''s been so hot lately. I''ve been walking for a while and I''m sweating."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and smiled in agreement.


    After breaking the ice between the two of them, she found out more and more that Li Ruonan was a child. She laughed when she was happy and lost her face when she was in a bad mood. Although this kind of character might offend many people in life, she did not hate or even envy him.


    Apart from gu mohan, jian mengqi and others who were willing to have a heart to heart with her, the rest of the people around her were very scheming, and some even kept thinking about how to harm her. With Li Ruonan, she would not have such worries.


    "Don''t drink too much. Girls always drink cold drinks and suffer." Seeing that Li Ruonan was about to finish a large cup of coffee, ye zhiqiao reminded him carefully.


    When Li Ruonan heard this, he stopped and puffed up his mouth in embarrassment, "My mother always says the same thing about me."


    Ye zhiqiao took a sip of tea with a smile and did not reply.


    After a long silence, Li Ruonan brought up the topic again, "Zhiqiao, actually, I have something to tell you about work... You''ve always been very helpful to me, and I''m especially grateful to you."


    It was very difficult for Li Ruonan to express her gratitude in such a straightforward way, so she suddenly looked shy. But since she had started, she simply gritted her teeth and said everything in her heart.


    "Well, that''s what I''m telling you. When you made up with me in the first place, I was still trying to be petty. I thought you might set a trap for me at work, so I was careful for a long time. But then I realized that you were good to me. To be exact, you were good to everyone. You were a good person! So I..."


    She lowered her head and said, "I appreciate it and want to apologize to you."


    It turned out that this matter was insignificant to ye zhiqiao, but she didn''t want to make Li Ruonan so difficult.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head with a bitter smile and said gently, "There''s no need to say thank you again. There''s no need to say sorry. I''ve never blamed you. It''s perfectly normal to be defensive. There''s no right or wrong."


    Li Ruonan blinked in surprise and leaned forward on the table, confirming, "Are you really not angry?"


    "Yes -" ye zhiqiao answered with a slight helplessness, dragging her long voice.


    At this point, the heart balance between the two was completely opened, and then relaxed to talk and laugh, it was soon time to leave.


    Li Ruonan rushed to pay the money and was about to go out with ye zhiqiao when he received a call and asked ye zhiqiao to leave first.


    Ye zhiqiao waved goodbye to her, then followed the rows of chairs to the door.


    In the middle of the walk, his eyes unconsciously swept sideways, and two familiar figures flashed past.


    She stopped and calmed down to look.


    A few steps away, bai zixuan and ye yiyu were sitting face to face on the sofa. The food in front of them did not move, and their expressions were focused as if they were talking about something.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know that the two of them had been released from prison. Moreover, with ye yiyu and bai zixuan''s hatred towards her, when the two of them got together, she really couldn''t guess the better.


    So she quickly took a few steps to the side and hid behind the empty seat, ready to eavesdrop on what the two were talking about.


    "Miss, what do you need?"


    "...


    "Miss?"


    The waiter''s voice sounded above her head, and ye zhiqiao was shocked. She quickly waved her hand to signal her not to speak.


    But the waiter was already puzzled and asked, "Eh? Didn''t you pay with another lady and leave? Why..."


    At this time, bai zixuan and ye yiyu also heard the sound and looked over curiously, just bumping into ye zhiqiao''s panicked eyes.


    Ye yiyu''s face darkened at once, and she suddenly got up and came to ye zhiqiao''s side, asking with dissatisfaction, "Why are you here? Eavesdropping on us?!"


    "I..."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to explain, but her behavior just now was like what ye yi said, and it was not honorable.


    Ye yiyu saw that her acquiescence was even angrier, so she raised her voice and scolded, "Why are you so shameless? Why are you eavesdropping in a corner while others are eating together?! Aren''t you the kindest and most innocent? Innocent people do this kind of thing?!"


    Ye yi''s sharp voice and passionate shouts quickly attracted the attention of the customers around her, but she finally caught hold of ye zhiqiao, and naturally only wanted to make her look bad.


    Just look, the more people you see, the better!


    Bai zixuan also stood aside with his arms in his arms, watching ye yiyu mocking ye zhiqiao with great interest, and felt extremely relieved.


    The noise lasted for a few minutes, and the manager of the coffee shop was called out to ask the staff at the side about what had happened.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to leave but was stopped by ye yiyu and bai zixuan, as if she had to lose all her face today.


    At this moment, Li Ruonan, who had just finished the call, came out and immediately understood what was going on.


    She pretended to be surprised and squeezed into the crowd to come to ye zhiqiao''s side. Holding her hand, she asked, "Zhiqiao, what are you doing? Didn''t I ask you to sit here and wait for me? Why are they all here?"

 Chapter 444 Su Yanbai Was Reprimanded

    When Li Ruonan said this, the onlookers suddenly understood.


    So he was sitting here waiting for someone. The girl who pointed at him and scolded him didn''t know what was going on. Maybe she was delusional.


    Seeing that the attitude of the surrounding people turned 180 degrees in an instant, ye yi naturally did not do anything and shouted at aung zi, "What do you know?! This woman was not a good person at all, and she was surrounded by a lot of bad friends, so she couldn''t believe what she said! She was eavesdropping on us, obviously!"


    Li Ruonan stared at the aggressive ye yiyu for a long time. She didn''t know the true identity of ye yiyu and thought that it was gu chengyan from her own company. She wondered, "Gu chengyan, you haven''t come to work for so many days. Why did you learn to touch porcelain and make a living? Oh, I see. Because ye zhiqiao used to be your boss, you were dissatisfied with her, so you deliberately made trouble, right?"


    Ye yiyu pointed at Li Ruonan and spat, "Stop talking nonsense, you''re not a good person!"


    Li Ruonan sneered and replied coldly, "You know I''m not a good person, so don''t provoke me."


    Ye yiyu was no match for Li Ruonan when she was in the company, but she is still not. The ye family is now an empty shell, relying on the last bit of capital from ye guojun. For someone with a strong background like Li Ruonan, ye yiyu can''t afford to offend her!


    Seeing that ye yiyu was full of anger but could only bear to stare, Li Ruonan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and then said, "I''ll tell you again, you hear me clearly. I was the one who told ye zhiqiao to sit here and wait for me. Now that we''re leaving together, you - don''t get in the way."


    After that, no matter how ugly ye yiyu''s face was, li ruonan pulled ye zhiqiao out of the crowd.


    Thanks to Li Ruonan''s rescue, ye zhiqiao was able to come out safely. She thanked Li Ruonan again and then said goodbye to each other.


    The next morning, ye zhiqiao got up early to wash up, because there was still an urgent project list in the company that was not sorted out, so she had to go to sort it out in advance.


    Coincidentally, gu mohan also got up and was having breakfast in the dining room. Seeing her, he suggested, "It''s still early. Take my car. No one will see it. Just in time for you to bring some breakfast and eat it on the way."


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at the watch and agreed.


    The two of them rushed out before the morning rush hour, and there were not many cars on the road except for the elderly who were doing morning exercises and buying vegetables, as well as the students who were carrying schoolbags.


    Ye zhiqiao tore open the plastic wrap, took a big bite of the sandwich, and then drank warm milk through the straw, gradually filling and warming her stomach.


    Another student in school uniform passed by the car window. She swallowed the food in her mouth and turned to gu mohan, "By the way, how''s little treasure''s school going? I haven''t heard you mention it lately."


    "Oh." Gu mohan slowed down the throttle and stopped the car at the red light. He took a quick look at ye zhiqiao and said, "It''s almost done. I took xiao bao to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The attending doctor said that xiao bao can take part in the group activities now. Just tell the teacher to pay attention to the quality of the food. There''s no need to worry too much."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, as she had expected.


    "Have you chosen the kindergarten? I''ve been busy with the exhibition lately, so I didn''t have the time to help with the selection."


    Gu mohan restarted the car and said in a warm voice, "We have already selected the car and have prepared the corresponding procedures. We can go directly to register when the time comes. Don''t worry about it. I can handle all of this."


    Of course, ye zhiqiao was not worried about gu mohan''s work, but if he was in kindergarten, he would have to pick him up on time, and there would be parent-child programs in the kindergarten occasionally, which might be troublesome for gu mohan.


    After all, gu mohan once said that little treasure was a friend''s child in an emergency.


    Ye zhiqiao pondered for a while, but still asked her own question: "About the identity of little treasure... What do you think?"


    Gu mohan seemed to have expected her to ask this question and answered without thinking, "Keep it a secret for now. It''s not good for us to tell the truth."


    If the outsiders knew that little treasure was gu mohan''s biological daughter, the good samaritan would first dig up evidence that gu mohan had lied, which might be another blow to the gu family. What''s more, it was hard to guess what people were thinking. Knowing that xiao bao was the daughter of the gu group, what the teachers would do to her, what the classmates would do to her, these were uncontrollable events, so for the sake of gu and xiao bao themselves, this relationship had to be temporarily hidden.


    Ye zhiqiao understood his concerns, and that was also what she was worried about.


    Although this was not fair to little treasure, there was no other way.


    "Well, let me do my best to pick up and deliver little treasure after she enters school." Ye zhiqiao volunteered.


    Gu mohan naturally agreed.


    Then, the two arrived at the company. After getting off in the underground parking lot, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan took the elevator upstairs separately, ready to start a new fun and tired day.


    At this time, the su family was in a storm.


    The reason was that su yanbai had not returned home all night, and father su was worried that he had not slept all night. His blood pressure rose sharply in the morning, so su pan did not go to the company.


    In the living room, su yanbai, who was smoky with makeup and red lips, stood in the middle of the room. She hung her head and listened to father su on the sofa opposite her.


    "Tell me about you. What the hell are you dressed like? Can''t you keep your cat at home as soon as you get out of prison? Don''t you think you''ve learned enough? I don''t think you can support the wall with mud!" Father su panted and pointed at su yanbai.


    Naturally, su yanbai was not convinced, but she did not dare to choke in person. Instead, she mumbled, "I just went to a nightclub. Can''t you relax? If it weren''t for yi shaozhi, I would still be in prison. You can''t scold me if you want to."


    "What did you say?!" Father su couldn''t hear her clearly.


    Su pan heard it clearly, so she lowered her face and said, "You know how your family treats you. I don''t need to explain anything to you. But one thing is, you can only blame yourself for the situation."


    The engagement party had gone on like that. If it hadn''t been for the mess she had caused before, the su family would have married the gu family, and the su family would definitely have taken advantage of the gu family to a higher level instead of being bullied by the gu family like this!


    Su yanbai knew she was in the wrong, so she fiddled with her fingers and didn''t dare to say anything more.

 Chapter 445 Su Yanbai Was Kicked out of the Gu Family

    Father su glared at her angrily and sighed, "It''s all my fault for spoiling you so much that you have this personality. The son did not teach the father, but it was too late to say anything. The only thing I ask of you now is to stay at home and not go out to cause any more trouble."


    According to father su, is this a ban?!


    How could su yanbai, who was so used to madness, submit? She immediately resisted and said, "I still have a lot of things to do. You can''t do this!"


    Father su slapped the table and said in a deep voice, "What else do you need? Can you get gu mohan back and get engaged again?! If you can''t do that, you can''t do anything else!"


    Father su only said this to discourage su yanbai and let her have some self-awareness. After all, after what happened at the engagement party, he had no face to see father gu, let alone su yanbai.


    But she didn''t want to. Su yanbai didn''t take this matter to heart at all. She took the opportunity and promised, "Okay, I''ll go now. At the worst, I''ll admit their mistakes and give them a soft hand. I''ll just bear with it, so that you don''t have to look down on me at home!"


    Without waiting for father su and su pan to say anything more, she ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut.


    Perhaps it was because she had been rich since she was a child and was used to being flattered and flattered by others. Su yanbai had always had a mystified confidence in herself. What she had just said was not something she had said in a moment of excitement. When she returned to her room, she really took a quick bath, changed into a proper outfit, and drove the sports car to the gu family.


    In the gu family mansion, gu father went out to do business, and only gu mother was at home.


    The servant came over to announce that someone from the su family had arrived.


    "The su family?!" Mother gu was already furious at the mere mention of this surname, but before she could tell the servants to send them away, su yanbai, who had a smiling face, walked in.


    "Auntie." Su yanbai called out sweetly.


    In the past, whenever she heard su yanbai call her that, mother gu would be very happy. But now, when she heard it again, she could only feel her anger surging in her body.


    How dare you call me auntie? How dare you come to the gu family? An engagement banquet humiliated the gu family and shattered her dream of marriage. In her heart, su yanbai was no longer the prospective daughter-in-law full of benefits!


    "Hmph!" Mother gu snorted and rolled her eyes.


    Then she glanced at su yanbai''s hand and saw that her opponent was still empty-handed, which made her even more unhappy.


    In the past, su yanbai was held in her hands, so it was fine if she came to the house without taking anything. Now, with a "Guilty body," she didn''t know how to take something to make amends. This kind of basic etiquette is not understood. Does xiao still want to enter the gu family?!


    Mother gu''s face became more and more ugly with the naked eye. Su yanbai, who had only greeted her after entering the door, expressed surprise.


    Also, when did she get such a cold face at the gu family mansion?


    "Auntie..." She called out tentatively, then said, "What are you doing? I''m afraid you''re bored, so I came here to talk to you."


    Mother gu looked at her from top to bottom with her slanted eyes and refused sarcastically, "Forget it, you better go home. Our family is too small to accommodate you, the big buddha!"


    He had already said it so bluntly that he would be a fool if he could not recognize it.


    Su yanbai saw that his mother did not like him, but she still said, "Auntie, I was wrong in the past, but gu Mohan is not completely clean. At the engagement party, if he could stand up and say a word for me, maybe he wouldn''t..."


    "Hey! How dare you talk about my son?!"


    When su yanbai mentioned gu mohan, she pretended that gu mohan was sorry for her. Mother gu immediately frowned and shouted, "You misbehaved yourself. You provoked yi shaozhi and kidnapped someone. Now you''re still blaming us, Mohan?! I really misjudged you. Why are you such a brazen person?"


    Mother gu angrily reprimanded su yanbai, then ordered the servants around her to say, "Get her out of here! The gu family and the su family will never see each other again, and this woman surnamed su will never step into the gu family again!"


    The lady was angry, and the servants quickly ran over with their heads lowered, pulling su yanbai''s shoulder and throwing her out.


    Su yanbai was thrown out of the gate, and as the iron door was slammed shut, she could still hear mother gu shouting, "Who dares to let her in again? Pack up your things and get out of the house!!!"


    Five minutes later, su yanbai drove around the street with a straight face.


    She was chased out by the gu family and had no chance to go back after seeing her mother. It was hard to tell what it felt like. Anger was a sure thing, but it was still a little disappointing. After all, the person who had tried to please him like that suddenly changed his attitude and it was hard for anyone to accept it.


    And gu mohan, she hadn''t seen him once since she got out of prison. What would his attitude be like? Would he be as heartless as mother gu?


    After asking herself this question, she immediately laughed at herself.


    What does gu mohan think of her? It was obvious from the experience at the engagement party. When yi shaozhi threatened her with explosives, he didn''t come forward to save her, let alone now?


    The more su yanbai thought about it, the more disappointed she was with her current life. In the end, she stopped by the roadside and took out her cell phone to call bai zixuan.


    At the moment, she was like a rat on a street. Her father scolded her, her brother was disappointed in her, and even went to the gu family with a good heart. Perhaps only bai zixuan could stand up to her now.


    Bai zixuan had been looking for her for a long time. When he received her call, he immediately made an appointment to meet her.


    But there were three people present.


    Su yanbai was the last one to enter the door. When she saw shen moshen beside bai zixuan, she immediately became alert and asked bai zixuan, "Why is she here? What do you want?!"


    Shen mo nong didn''t want to see her either, but he couldn''t help but join forces to deal with the enemy. Hearing her tone, he also stared back and forth and said, "Do you think you are the sun? Everyone wants to surround you? Don''t overestimate yourself. I was forced to meet you. Otherwise, I wouldn''t want to see your face again in my life."


    "What are you talking about? Did I invite you here?!" Su yanbai choked back reluctantly.


    Seeing that the meeting was about to end unhappily at this rate, bai zixuan quickly stood up and tried to make things right, "All right, all right, two grandmothers. You are both the sun. Can''t I be the moon? Don''t make any more noise. We all have the same goal. Can''t we just sit down and talk calmly?"

 Chapter 446 Yi Chens Farewell

    With bai zixuan mediating among them, su yanbai and shen moqiang were finally willing to sit down and talk calmly for his sake.


    Just as the three of them were seated again, a man stood up and left in the back row.


    Gu mohan''s assistant had no idea that he had finally taken a day off and was stood up for asking his girlfriend out for dinner when he met gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s sworn enemies.


    Looking at the three of them, they probably weren''t discussing any good things. As a good employee who was willing to "Die a hard death for the gu family and gu mohan," the assistant immediately told gu mohan about it.


    He felt that after gu mohan learned about this matter, he would be more or less prepared for the trouble that might arise, so as to save the temporary chaos.


    And the truth was exactly what he thought. Ever since he received the news, gu mohan had been pestering ye zhiqiao to and from work every day. He had been shopping and buying groceries all along, as if he had been demoted from his superior to a bodyguard.


    Because of this, ye zhiqiao had less contact with yi chen. To be exact, the two of them had hardly contacted each other since the text message gu mohan saw.


    After so many busy days, ye zhiqiao''s design draft was finally completed.


    She went to the mu family and handed the design to Mu Xuefeng.


    As the cooperator of this international exhibition, mu shi contributed a lot in the preparation, but ye zhiqiao was the only designer recommended from mu xuefeng, which showed how much he valued ye zhiqiao''s design.


    Mu Xuefeng carefully flipped through the design draft and was pleasantly surprised every time he turned a page. He was sure that he did not find the wrong person.


    "Zhiqiao, you can rest assured that someone will give you a guarantee. This design will definitely attract countless attention at the exhibition!" Mu Xuefeng put the design in the safe and said excitedly.


    Ye zhiqiao said modestly, "President mu has flattered me, all thanks to your trust. And I need to trouble you with the finished product. The company is busy and I''m afraid I won''t be able to leave for a while."


    The two of them had already discussed this matter before they cooperated. Ye zhi crafted the design draft and mu shi finished the finished product.


    Mu Xuefeng nodded quickly and said, "No problem. The main business of the mu family is the production of clothing. The materials and workmanship are ranked in the top few in the country, so they will not degrade the level of design."


    Ye zhiqiao thanked him again and then got up to leave.


    After that, the three-day international exhibition was held as scheduled, and people from the design industry from all over the world were present. It was an unprecedented event.


    Ye zhiqiao missed the opening date because she had to deal with an urgent project at the company, but Mu Xuefeng called afterwards to inform her that the exhibition was a success, and congratulated her work on being named and praised by many world-renowned designers, and was finally bought by a british designer who had retired for many years.


    The exhibition was successful and the work received good reviews. Of course, mu xuefeng contributed to it. Ye zhiqiao did not take the credit alone, but instead congratulated and thanked Mu Xuefeng. Although they were on the phone, they still had a good talk and agreed to continue working together in the future.


    After a long day of work, getting such good news at the end of the day seemed to dispel all fatigue in an instant.


    After putting down the phone, ye zhiqiao stretched and packed her things to leave.


    At this time, he received another call from yi chen.


    After explaining the situation to gu mohan and letting him go home by himself, ye zhiqiao took the car alone to a western restaurant in the bustling city center.


    Gu mohan had invited her to this restaurant once. The decoration was high and the food tasted good. It was only because of its reputation that the price was not very beautiful. After that time, she would reject gu mohan''s offer to come here for dinner.


    It''s not a meeting with a client. There''s no need for family and friends to come to a place that is luxurious and exquisite, but very alienated.


    Ye zhiqiao glanced at the huge sign and walked into the revolving door.


    Yi chen was waiting for her in the vip seat on the second floor. His eyes lit up when he saw her coming and he waved.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded. She walked over to sit down and said half-jokingly, "Why did you suddenly invite me to dinner? You hit the jackpot?"


    Yi chen rang the bell and told the waiter to serve. He blinked and said, "Yes, I got a lot of money. It''s really hard not to spend it seriously."


    "Poor."


    Ye zhiqiao slowly gave an evaluation.


    Yi chen invited her here because she had something to say. This was ye zhiqiao''s previous guess, but after seeing yi chen, she had already confirmed this guess in her heart.


    Because today''s yichen, it was obvious that there was something on his mind. Although the joke was open and he still laughed foolishly, those smiles did not reach the bottom of his heart. On the contrary, it gave people a feeling of loneliness.


    However, ye zhiqiao ate quietly and did not take the initiative to ask. She wanted to wait for yi chen to say, so she would naturally tell her.


    Sure enough, when the meal was half finished and the wine was half empty, yi chen tilted his head to stare at her and said with a chuckle, "I''m leaving ye zhiqiao."


    A small piece of beef was still in her mouth, and ye zhiqiao chewed it a few times before swallowing it. Then she raised her head in confusion and asked, "Go... Where are you going?"


    "America!"


    Yi chen gulped down the wine in his glass again and continued pouring the wine as he explained, "Yi''s has a small branch there. I have been neglecting management for the past few years. It just so happens that I went to practice and develop my career."


    As he spoke, he half-truthfully sighed and said, "It''s not possible to start a family now. We have to start our own business first."


    Ye zhiqiao cooperated with a smile and pretended not to understand what he was saying. She blessed him and said, "A good man starts his career first and then gets married. You are very smart. These things will be done very soon."


    In fact, with yi chen''s family background and his own conditions, the girls who wanted to start a family with him were always at his beck and call, but because he met ye zhiqiao, his life that he thought was relaxed and indulgent suddenly changed.


    But if he did it again, he would never regret it.


    Yi chen shook his wine glass and suddenly lay on the table. He half-narrowed his eyes and asked ye zhiqiao, "Can''t you give me anything other than a blessing?"


    Anything else?


    "What do you want?" Ye zhiqiao asked back.


    Yi chen smiled bitterly.


    He wanted a girlfriend, a wife, and ye zhiqiao, but even if he said it, he would be rejected at most once, right?


    "I want you to marry gu mohan later." After pondering for a long time, he came up with such an easy wish.


    Ye zhiqiao almost sprayed a mouthful of water on his face.


    I''ve never seen such an outspoken person as a bad emissary get married later? Although ye zhiqiao had no intention of getting married, if gu mohan heard about this, he would probably have to chase him to the united states.

 Chapter 447 Little Treasure Had a High Fever

    Yi chen also thought that his idea was ridiculous, but he still hid his smile and looked at ye zhiqiao with an extremely sincere and focused expression, "I''m serious. I won''t give up on you. As long as you haven''t married gu mohan, I will always chase you. Even if you do marry him, I..."


    It''s not good to destroy other people''s families. Yi chen suddenly stopped what he was about to say and turned a corner, "I''ll wait until you find out his shortcomings and leave him. Keep chasing you."


    "Poof -"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t hold it any longer and started to laugh with trembling shoulders.


    Seeing her smile, yi chen also smiled, "I will leave soon. Today''s meal is a farewell. You must eat more so that when I get to the hemisphere, I can recall you for a while more."


    From the moment they met, ye zhiqiao would almost always follow him wherever she went. It was the first time that they had parted.


    "Then I''ll eat up your wallet!"


    Ye zhiqiao forked up a large piece of beef and threw it into her mouth.


    After this meal, the next day yi chen boarded a plane to the united states, and the next day was also monday, ye zhiqiao took little treasure to kindergarten to register, did not have time to send him off.


    Holding little treasure''s hand, she stepped into the kindergarten gate and looked at the colorful teaching building and various amusement equipment. Ye zhiqiao bent down and asked, "Does little treasure like it here? Are you afraid to get along with the teachers and children?"


    Little treasure''s eyes were attracted to a row of swings from the moment he entered the door. When he heard ye zhiqiao''s question, he nodded without thinking and seemed to be very interested in it.


    Ye zhiqiao was very happy that she didn''t reject this place.


    Some parents and some colleagues in the company who had children had more or less trouble when their children first entered school. The most serious problem was that the pampered only children were not used to leaving the family''s collective life and did not like to get along with teachers and other children.


    Compared to those children, little treasure was in worse condition because she had almost grown up in a hospital. Gu mohan was afraid that she would suffer, so he reserved a single ward for her. Besides gu mohan and doctors and nurses, she rarely had contact with others.


    Later, she met ye zhiqiao, jian mengqi, Qin Baiye and others. Although her life circle was bigger, she still had little contact with her peers. Ye zhi happened to be worried about leaving her alone in the kindergarten.


    However, looking at the current situation, ye zhiqiao''s worry seemed unnecessary.


    While she was explaining to the kindergarten teacher about little treasure''s physical condition, little treasure had already gone to play on the swing and slide with a few new friends, and a few children helped each other. One moment, I pushed you, the other pushed me, and there was no noise at all.


    After signing up, ye zhiqiao said goodbye to xiao bao and watched her walk into the classroom with her short legs among a group of children. Then she left the kindergarten with a group of parents who were full of reluctance.


    Walking far away, she could still see many parents wiping their tears.


    To be honest, ye zhiqiao was also touched when she saw little treasure enter the classroom, but she still couldn''t understand why she was crying.


    Perhaps it was her life since childhood that made her tough character. This kind of separation would only make her feel a little disappointed, but not sad. It was the same for xiao bao, and it was the same for yi chen.


    On the contrary, they should be happy to grow up and become better.


    Ye zhiqiao was walking alone on the road. When she saw the supermarket on the side of the street holding an event, she felt the excitement and walked in. When she came out, she was carrying her things with her hands full.


    After that, she took the bus, leaned her head against the window, and looked at the scenery and pedestrians passing by. She felt that this life was really beautiful.


    She worked at the gu family, little treasure went to kindergarten, gu mohan, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye worked hard for their respective companies, and yi chen also went to the united states to seek development. Gu mohan did not tell her about the meeting between the three of them, so she thought that none of them would take revenge anymore.


    From this point of view, life was peaceful and fulfilling, without big storms and waves but full of surprises. She closed her eyes as if she had lived her life like this.


    But the beautiful illusion did not last long. A few days later, when little treasure came home from school, he actually had a fever!


    At first, ye zhiqiao didn''t find out, but she felt that little treasure was not full of energy and didn''t care about people. She thought that she was tired from playing in kindergarten, so she didn''t disturb her, but went into the kitchen and busy cooking dinner. It was only when she called little treasure to eat at the stairs for the third time but didn''t get a response that she realized that something was wrong.


    She ran into the bedroom in a hurry and saw little treasure huddled in the quilt with a wrinkled face, looking very uncomfortable.


    She wanted to pick up little treasure and ask why, but she was shocked when she touched his bare arm.


    Why is it so hot?!!


    Without even using a thermometer, she could confirm that little treasure must be running a fever right now!


    Little treasure''s physical condition is different from that of ordinary children. A fever that can be sustained by taking medicine or physical therapy can send him to the emergency room, not to mention the high fever now?


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t even bother to change her clothes and went straight to the hospital with little treasure in her arms.


    Gu mohan stayed at the company for the past few days to work overtime. First, he was too late, and second, he was not sure about little treasure''s situation for the time being. He didn''t want him to worry, so ye zhiqiao didn''t contact him immediately.


    After the doctor''s examination, xiao bao''s temperature was 39 degrees and he had a high fever.


    Ye zhiqiao accompanied xiao bao to the hospital for an infusion and prescribed some medicine to help with the fever. She didn''t come home until after 10: 00 at night.


    On the way, little treasure fell asleep drowsily, and the intravenous drip contained a calming component, so ye zhiqiao did not disturb her and carried her directly into the bedroom.


    The next day, naturally, the kindergarten could not go again. Ye zhiqiao took leave of absence for xiao bao and herself in advance, then cooked a pot of white rice porridge and vegetables and came to xiao bao''s bed to feed her.


    But little treasure, who was huddled under the quilt, still grunted and refused to move. His face seemed redder than last night.


    Ye zhi skillfully probed her forehead with the back of her hand, and it was still very hot.


    This night, ye zhiqiao hardly slept. She had to get up every half an hour to try xiao bao''s temperature, but nothing had changed.


    I can''t wait any longer!


    There were hormones in the medicine, and ye zhiqiao didn''t want little treasure to be injected at any time at first. She was afraid that it would harm her body, but in the current situation, if she didn''t continue the infusion, she might not be able to survive.


    She leaned over to little treasure''s head and gently coaxed him, "Little treasure, get up and eat some porridge. Then aunt ye will take you to the hospital. The doctor''s uncle won''t feel bad after an injection."

 Chapter 448 A Pinhole in Her Arm

    Little treasure was so confused that he could hear ye zhiqiao''s voice, but he couldn''t tell what she was talking about. He just shouted, "Auntie ye, auntie ye..." As if he could find a way to rely on her.


    "It''s all right, little treasure. Aunt ye is by your side. Let''s go to the hospital now."


    Little treasure might be very uncomfortable, and unconsciously, tears fell down. Ye zhiqiao looked at it painfully and couldn''t care less. She took the wallet and carried little treasure to the hospital.


    This time, she had to contact gu mohan.


    Gu mohan worked overtime all night and had just fallen asleep in the morning when he received a call from ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao was sitting next to little treasure, who was asleep, staring at her infusion bottle and saying worriedly, "Mohan, little treasure has a fever, and is currently in the hospital for infusion..."


    "What?!" As soon as he heard this, gu mohan suddenly sat up from the bed and asked nervously, "Why is there a fever? Is it serious?"


    At first, the condition was very serious, but the doctor had just come to take his temperature and said it had dropped to 37 and a half degrees.


    So ye zhiqiao replied, "Not bad. It was little treasure who called you when he was asleep. If you''re not busy, you should come over."


    Gu mohan had been running around for days and hadn''t seen little treasure for a long time. Now that he heard that little treasure was ill, he was naturally more worried. However, there was an important meeting in the morning that required him to be present. It could be said that after a few days of hard work, success or failure depended on it.


    After a long silence, ye zhiqiao naturally felt that he was in a difficult position, so she comforted him at the right time, "Actually, it''s okay not to come over. Little treasure''s condition has been much better, and she''s still sleeping. Come over after you finish your work, just to let her sleep well."


    "... Well, there''s a meeting at nine o'' clock. I''ll be right back when I''m done. Please take care of little treasure." Gu mohan did not refuse.


    The little treasure on the hospital bed twisted his body in agony. Ye zhiqiao hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone to see little treasure.


    After the infusion, little treasure''s complexion was obviously much better, and his eyes were clear. When he saw ye zhiqiao calling, he asked, "Is aunt ye on the phone with father?"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded. After covering her with the quilt, she said, "Daddy will be here soon. You should sleep well. When you open your eyes, you will see daddy."


    Little treasure chuckled weakly, then suddenly pouted and said with a frown, "But little treasure has woken up, and he''s... So uncomfortable..."


    She arched under the blanket, trying to kick it away.


    It was midsummer, and it would be hot even with a thin quilt, but the hospital had central air conditioning on. Although the temperature was just right, ye zhiqiao was still afraid that the air conditioning would aggravate xiao bao''s condition, so she kept looking at the quilt.


    From last night until now, little treasure must have been sweating a lot, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.


    Ye zhiqiao thought about it and suggested, "Why don''t aunt ye give you a bath?"


    Just now, the doctor said that little treasure could take a proper warm bath and cool down.


    Little treasure grinned and agreed happily.


    The superior ward was equipped with a washroom with showers and bathtubs. Worried about the cleanliness of the bathtub, ye zhiqiao took a small stool and let xiao bao sit down under the shower. She came to help xiao bao bathe.


    Seeing the water, little treasure''s mood was much happier. He looked up and asked ye zhiqiao, "Aunt ye, don''t you need to go to kindergarten today?"


    Ye zhiqiao was washing her hair and rinsing the foam off her little head. She pulled up her little arm and replied, "Yes, little treasure is sick. Let''s go after we have a good rest. Does little treasure miss his little friend?"


    Little treasure tilted his head and didn''t say a word, as if he was really thinking about which child he missed.


    Ye zhiqiao wiped the bath flower on her arm with a smile. Just as she was about to praise her adaptability, the expression on her face suddenly froze.


    Because just as she flipped little treasure''s wrist, something seemed to flash by.


    She grabbed little treasure, who was cooperating with her turn, and raised her arm again. After looking carefully, she finally saw a small red dot on the inside of little treasure''s arm.


    No, it''s not a red dot, it''s like... A pinhole after the infusion!!!


    But since last night, she had watched every time xiao bao had an iv drip. It was on the back of her hand and never on her arm!


    Not in the hospital, let alone at home, so is it... Kindergarten?


    Ye zhiqiao was suddenly shocked, and her whole body was covered with hairs.


    If it was really done in kindergarten, what did it mean? She didn''t dare to think about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt scared.


    "Little treasure, what''s going on?" She had no hope that little treasure would remember this. After all, if someone pricked him in the arm while he was awake, little treasure would not say nothing.


    But to be on the safe side, she made sure.


    Sure enough, little treasure stared blankly at his arm, not knowing what ye zhiqiao was talking about.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath, then quickly washed little treasure and carried him back to the hospital bed. She simply said, "Little treasure, aunt ye is going to the kindergarten now. If dad comes, you can show him this arm, okay?"


    At this time, gu mohan should be in a meeting. Ye zhiqiao could not disturb him, but she did not dare to make the situation too clear to little treasure. She was afraid of scaring her, so she had to give him a vague explanation.


    Little treasure saw ye zhiqiao''s eagerness, so he didn''t ask any more questions. He nodded and said he knew.


    "Good boy." Ye zhi happened to kiss her on the forehead and told her to ring the bell for the nurse if anything happened. Then she took her bag and hurried out the door.


    In the kindergarten, the parents had just sent the child away, and the guard was just about to close the door. Ye zhiqiao arrived in a hurry.


    She explained that her child was in kindergarten, and the guard contacted little treasure and let her in after getting confirmation.


    Outside the classroom, the young female teacher smiled apologetically at ye zhiqiao and said, "Miss ye, I still have class now. Why don''t you go to the office and wait for a while? I''ll be right over after class, okay?"


    Interrupting class was indeed a very bad behavior. If it was normal, ye zhiqiao would never do this, but now it was very important, and she couldn''t wait a minute.


    "Teacher, I didn''t mean to cause any trouble for you, but I just found a needle hole in xiao bao''s arm when I was bathing. This is not a small matter, so I hope you can cooperate with me immediately to understand the situation."


    Ye zhiqiao took out the photo of little treasure''s arm from her phone and showed it to the teacher.


    Perhaps because of his young age, the teacher looked at this situation and panicked. He waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I don''t know what''s going on! I''m just teaching the children to sing and dance. This... I don''t know..."

 Chapter 449 Shirking Responsibility

    Ye zhiqiao saw her panic and thought that she didn''t seem like a person who could solve the problem. She asked in a slow tone, "Then who can make the decision to deal with this? Or should I go straight to the principal?"


    "School... The principal is out for a meeting today. Why don''t I take you to the deputy director?"


    After such a big incident, the teacher was not in the mood to continue the class, so he took ye zhiqiao directly to the deputy director''s room.


    The deputy head of the garden was receiving another well-dressed young woman. When he saw the teacher walking in with ye zhiqiao in a panic, he asked the young woman to wait for a moment, then stood up in front of the teacher and asked with slight dissatisfaction, "Didn''t you see that I was talking to the parents of the students? Why did you come here without saying hello?"


    Ye zhiqiao saw that she didn''t even look at herself, so she took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, deputy director. I''m gu ruoxi''s parents. I have something urgent to talk to you about. Look... Can you give me some time?"


    The deputy director glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to scold the teacher, "If this happens again, don''t even take your bonus!"


    At this point, ye zhiqiao could see that the deputy director did not intend to talk to her at all and only wanted to drive them away.


    In fact, it was not difficult to guess that the person who was talking to the deputy director was definitely a big shot. The deputy director did not want to lose a big deal because of a small one, so he deliberately did this.


    It was really impolite to barge in while others were talking. If it weren''t for the serious situation with little treasure, she would never have done such a thing, but now she had to find out the cause and effect of the matter as soon as possible.


    So ye zhiqiao took out the photo on her phone again, raised it in front of the deputy director who was still winking at the teacher, and raised her voice, "Deputy director, please take a look. This is a photo of gu ruoxi''s arm. There is a needle mark on the inside of her left arm. I found it when I gave her a bath. I hope the school can give me an explanation!"


    Upon hearing the pinhole, the young woman who had been sitting on the sofa talking to the deputy director also came over, looked down at the photo, and then waited with ye zhiqiao for an explanation to the deputy director.


    She couldn''t tell that her child should be in this kindergarten, and she was naturally worried about what would happen to her own child.


    Immediately surrounded by two parents, the mean expression on the deputy director''s face finally faded, and he changed into surprise and worry.


    "Aye! Pinhole?! It''s impossible. It''s not going to happen in our school. It must have happened somewhere else."


    The first thing the deputy director did was to shirk responsibility.


    Ye zhiqiao was too lazy to care about her attitude and retorted directly, "The child has never been anywhere else except to go to school and go home. At home, the child can''t touch sharp objects like needles. She has only been to school for a few days, and this happened. Our parents have reason to suspect that it is related to school!"


    Ye zhiqiao said this aggressively, then seemed to feel a little extreme, so she added, "Of course, I will not pin the crime on your school, but I hope you can cooperate with me to understand the situation and investigate the truth of the matter."


    The commotion in the deputy director''s room soon attracted the attention of teachers and parents who came to the school to do things. They stood outside the door and outside the window in twos and threes, whispering to the office.


    The deputy head of the kindergarten thought it would be bad for the reputation of the kindergarten to continue like this, so he had to put on a righteous posture and loudly said, "What''s there to investigate? How do you want to find out? I can guarantee with my personality that the situation you said would never happen in kindergarten! Instead of wasting time arguing with me here, it''s better to go home and see if there''s something wrong with being a parent!"


    Perhaps because of the recent conflicts between parents and kindergartens, most of the teachers were in a panic, so they did not think about how to solve the problem at all, but chose to clean themselves before the problem ferments.


    Her unreasonable statement made ye zhiqiao very angry, but she was weak, and if the other party refused to cooperate, she couldn''t think of anything for a moment.


    Fortunately, at this moment, gu mohan appeared!


    After the meeting, he rushed to the hospital. After listening to xiao bao''s narration and looking at xiao bao''s wound, he came to the kindergarten without stopping. As soon as he entered the gate, he heard that there was a quarrel in the deputy director''s room. He hardly thought about it and confirmed that ye zhiqiao was there.


    Sure enough, as soon as he followed the guard''s instructions, he heard the argument coming from the office.


    After standing there and listening for a while, seeing that the deputy director almost choked ye zhiqiao speechless, he immediately walked through the crowd and entered.


    As a successful businessman who has appeared in financial magazines all year round and a good man who has been reported by various media paparazzi for his outstanding appearance, his appearance immediately caused a stir.


    Most of the teachers in the kindergarten were single girls, and the parents of the students were not too old. Some of them were not even past the age of chasing stars. They naturally recognized the shining gu mohan in the crowd at a glance, and they were particularly surprised to whisper to each other, guessing the reason why gu mohan had come.


    The deputy director also recognized gu mohan, but ye zhiqiao was always responsible for the admission procedures and daily transportation of little treasure, so she did not know gu mohan''s identity, and even smiled in surprise when she saw him "Coming."


    But the smile froze on gu mohan''s face as soon as he said the first sentence.


    "Who is gu ruoxi''s life teacher?" Gu mohan used his outstanding height to look around the office, and finally his eyes fell on the young female teacher near the corner.


    Although he had never given little treasure away, he had always known little treasure''s life in kindergarten.


    "Is that you?"


    Gu mohan asked the female teacher, then nodded and asked her to come over.


    The female teacher had already shrunk because of the pinhole. Now she saw gu mohan on tv suddenly appear in front of her. She was afraid and aggrieved. She could not help but cry. How could she answer the question?


    Gu mohan frowned discontentedly.


    The deputy director interjected, "Mr. Gu, our teacher is timid. Don''t scare her. I just told this miss ye that gu ruoxi''s injury has nothing to do with the school. You..."


    "It''s not an injury." Gu mohan didn''t want to hear her talking back and forth. He interrupted her directly, "It''s not an ordinary injury like a bump, but a pinhole in her arm. As an adult, don''t you know the stakes between the two?"

 Chapter 450 People with Aids

    The implication was that bumps and bruises could happen at any time, but not the pinholes, which could mean abuse or murder!


    Just as ye zhiqiao was in a hurry, the deputy head of the kindergarten had unknowingly blurred the concept of the two, in order to alleviate the negative impact that this matter might have on the kindergarten, but he did not want gu mohan to have a clear mind and immediately realized her little trick.


    Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable and there were so many powerful parents present, in order to turn the situation around, she decided to find another way to suppress gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    It is said that gu mohan and the su family''s daughter held an engagement banquet a while ago, but they were interrupted in the middle of the engagement, and the engagement failed. The news spread all over the city and even across the country on the internet.


    But not long after the engagement party failed, gu mohan actually ran to school for a child named gu ruoxi. It was obvious that there was an unknown relationship between the two.


    The deputy director was not sure if his guess was accurate, but he still pretended to be in a dilemma and said, "Mr. Gu, gu ruoxi is your daughter. It is understandable that you care about her. We are teachers, but you can''t just push the responsibility on us. Just now, miss ye said that you don''t have sharp objects in your house, but I also said that our school doesn''t have any! As a human being, it''s better to treat people with good intentions. If you do your job well, the children in your family will not have such and such accidents."


    Her tone was strange, as if gu ruoxi''s parents were misbehaving in the dark.


    Gu mohan asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"


    "It''s nothing, just a bold guess." The deputy director rolled his eyes slightly and sighed, "I just abandoned my fiancee a while ago, and now there are problems with my children with a woman of unknown status. I''m afraid it''s god''s retribution!"


    She deliberately misrepresented the fact that gu mohan had abandoned su yanbai and that xiao bao was the child of gu mohan and ye zhiqiao without any evidence. Once such explosive news came out, no one would pay attention to the kindergarten.


    No, as soon as she spoke, exclamations erupted from the crowd.


    Gu mohan knew this was her method. Although he did not expect her to use such a dirty trick as an educator, in order to appease people, he had to quickly come up with a strategy and said, "Gu ruoxi is just my adopted daughter. Don''t talk nonsense. And now we''re talking about the pinhole on gu ruoxi. Don''t talk about him."


    Ye zhiqiao quickly turned her head to look at gu mohan, who was calm as if she was not lying, but merely stating a fact.


    She opened her mouth, not saying what she wanted to say.


    In this regard, all the struggles of the deputy director were suppressed by gu mohan, but she still refused to cooperate with the investigation.


    Gu mohan didn''t care at all. After a phone call, five minutes later, a car of bodyguards arrived.


    His assistant walked in front of him, and after hearing his instructions, he and his bodyguards searched the entire kindergarten as quickly as possible without disturbing the children''s lessons, and finally brought back something.


    In the pvc evidence bag, a thin needle with blood at the tip gave off a brilliant light.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s tightly furrowed brows were the same as their gloomy faces. Then gu mohan opened his mouth and said only four words.


    "Test, now."


    The assistant then rushed to the laboratory of the nearest key medical school and asked the staff to examine the substance on the tip of the needle. The results were really shocking.


    "After the test, the blood on it is..." The assistant hesitated. In gu mohan''s affirmative eyes, he continued, "It is the blood of people with aids." !!!


    Shock and shock were not enough to describe the mood of the people who heard this.


    What is aids? The blood on the tip of the needle was from an aids patient, and there were pinholes on little treasure''s arm, accompanied by fever, what was the concept?


    Needless to say, all sane people understand!


    "This can''t... It can''t be our garden... Right..."


    At this point, the deputy director was still trying to argue!


    Ye zhiqiao could no longer calm down when she thought of little treasure, who had a fever and had been in a daze all night, little treasure who was still lying in the hospital with an iv drip, and the school leader who had just spoken his mind and refused to let go.


    She screamed like a madman and rushed to the deputy director of the garden. She grabbed her collar and asked sternly, "What the hell is going on here?! Are you going to continue denying it? The teacher is kind-hearted, how on earth did a person like you become deputy director?!"


    She snatched the evidence bag from her assistant''s hand and held it in front of the deputy director, "This is aids! Do you know what it means to have aids?!"


    From the way the deputy director tried to shrink her head back, she must have known, but it never happened to her and she could never feel it.


    Besides, it was too late for her to think hard about how to protect the reputation of the kindergarten. How could she have the time to care about the lives of others?


    Gu mohan saw the vice principal''s selfish nature and realized that it was useless to argue with her now, so he went forward and grabbed ye zhiqiao and whispered, "Let''s go back to the hospital to see little treasure first. Little treasure''s situation... We also need to explain to the attending doctor again. Maybe we need to do another examination. Now is not the time to waste time with this kind of person."


    Then, he turned his head and looked at the deputy director coldly. Every word he said came out with ice.


    "If gu ruoxi really has that disease, and if this needle is made by someone in your kindergarten, then you, and everyone here, will be waiting to keep my daughter company."


    Only when gu ruoxi recovers, can they continue to live. If something happens to gu ruoxi, they will be buried together!


    In the hospital, when the attending doctor heard the news that gu mohan and ye zhiqiao had brought back, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately examined little treasure.


    The result was... Very bad.


    Ye zhiqiao was panicked and worried. She only knew how to keep crying while guarding little treasure. Gu Mohan''s worry was no less than hers, but it could not be fully expressed.


    He was a man and little treasure''s father. At this time, not only could he not fall down, he had to make plans for little treasure as soon as possible.


    After a busy night without sleep, he finally found the best solution he could think of.


    In the morning, little treasure was still sleeping soundly with a slight snore. Gu mohan called ye zhiqiao out of the ward who had not slept the same night.


    The two of them sat in a chair by the corridor. Gu mohan pinched his brows and said, "Little treasure is in a bad condition. With the current medical skills in china, the possibility of treatment is not high, so I want to send her abroad for treatment."

 Chapter 451 Go to America for Treatment

    Ye zhiqiao also thought about going abroad and asked him, "Which country?"


    "America." Gu mohan wiped the tears from her face and said softly, "I have contacted a top hospital. There were many patients with the same condition as xiao bao who had been treated there before, and there have been no problems until now. As far as I can see, that''s our best option."


    The united states was an extremely distant place from where they were now.


    It has completely different cultural customs from china, different eating habits, different skin color and hair...


    If it was a trip, ye zhiqiao would definitely not be so sad, but the thought of little treasure going there to treat her illness, she could not restrain the dull pain in her heart.


    "I''ll go with little treasure."


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t think about it and made a decision directly.


    Gu mohan subconsciously wanted to object, but saw her sallow face and misty teary eyes. He swallowed what he wanted to say.


    In any way, ye zhiqiao was not suitable to follow the past.


    First of all, her mood and mentality were very unstable, she could not take care of little treasure at all, and even she could be too worried about the accident.


    Moreover, the gu family has been on the rise recently. Gu mohan could not leave at all. At the same time, he had to investigate the truth of little treasure''s death. He really had no energy to take care of ye zhiqiao. If something happens to ye zhi abroad, he doesn''t even have time to rush to help.


    And little treasure himself did not need to worry. He had already prepared the best nanny and nurse and the attending doctor for little treasure alone. When little treasure got there, he could only treat him peacefully, and the rest did not need to worry.


    However, no matter how good the idea was, gu mohan was still unwilling to force ye zhiqiao.


    Since she insisted on going, let her go. At worst, hire more bodyguards, hire more nannies, and rent a house near the hospital...


    Although there were a lot of things to do in an instant, it was just a matter of staying up for a few nights, which could make ye zhiqiao feel better. He was willing to do it.


    In addition to little treasure''s medical treatment, there was also kindergarten.


    He wanted to pursue the responsibility of the kindergarten immediately, but from this morning, the news about the kindergarten became popular.


    Because when they argued with the deputy director yesterday, there were a lot of people gathered around them, including the parents of students. Such a serious problem, they naturally couldn''t stay out of it and force the kindergarten to give an explanation.


    For a while, the kindergarten was pushed to the forefront of the storm, as if gu mohan did not need to personally take action, the kindergarten was already in danger.


    So he temporarily handed the matter over to his assistant to follow up on the investigation, and he focused on arranging little treasure''s affairs.


    After settling down in the united states, ye zhiqiao said goodbye to gu mohan and left the hospital to go home and pack her things.


    Her mind was blank, and she was as lost as a walking corpse. She had no intention of cleaning up.


    She took out her clothes and stuffed them into her suitcase regardless of summer or winter. She didn''t remember any toiletries or cosmetics at all. Then it was little treasure''s clothes and the usual medicine to replenish her body. A huge pile of things was piled in the suitcase in a mess. After she had to buckle the lid and lock it, she found that several pairs of shoes on the floor were not yet on.


    Frowning, he reopened the lock. As soon as he opened it, the clothes under great pressure popped out and scattered on the floor.


    The results of her patience just now were all gone.


    She slumped to the ground, hugging her knees and crying.


    She was too useless to be angry at herself. She should have been strong enough to comfort little treasure, but she was the first one to fall. Gu mohan was at a time of worry. He should have helped, but he had been causing him trouble.


    In fact, she knew what gu mohan was thinking, but she was willful and wanted to do what she wanted.


    She was so selfish and useless!


    The whole room fell silent for a moment, only her sobbing echoed.


    Until yi chen called.


    The yichen man was in the united states, but he was still paying attention to ye zhiqiao''s movements. That night, the news of little treasure''s illness reached his ears.


    Although he did not get along with gu mohan, xiao bao was a child after all. He was surprised and worried after he knew about this, but he was afraid to disturb ye zhiqiao at night, so he waited until it was daytime in the country to call ye zhiqiao.


    It was daytime at home, which meant that it was late at night in the united states.


    If she wasn''t in a state of emotional agitation, ye zhiqiao would have noticed this, but she didn''t notice it at this time.


    Yi chen understood her current mood. After comforting her for a few words, he asked, "I heard that gu mohan contacted a hospital in the united states to send little treasure here for treatment. If you need any help, tell me. I have everything settled down here. It''s no problem to help you."


    Ye zhi coincidentally thanked him, then hesitated and said, "I might... Want to go with little treasure. It should be nothing."


    "You? Are you coming with me?!"


    Hearing ye zhiqiao say this, yi chen exclaimed and asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Did gu mohan request this? He went too far. If he didn''t want to give up his career and let you come over, you wouldn''t have to work? Even if he doesn''t work, isn''t he afraid that your body won''t be able to take long trips to Laughton and can''t adapt to life here?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s dizziness was very serious, and after the last amusement park accident, it seemed that it was even more than before, flying high in the sky, it was really unsettling.


    This was one of the reasons why gu mohan didn''t want her to go with him to the united states.


    Seeing that yi chen misunderstood, ye zhiqiao quickly explained, "No, it''s not what he asked. It''s me... I want to take care of little treasure. There is no one she knows. I''m afraid she will be afraid."


    "Don''t you still have me?"


    Hearing that ye zhiqiao was worried, yi chen immediately patted his chest and said, "My company''s location is not far from the hospital that gu Mohan contacted. It''s a ten-minute drive. I promise you, as long as I have time, I will go to see her, so you don''t have to come."


    After just calming down, ye zhiqiao also hesitated about going to the united states. Now that she received the promise of yi chen, it seemed that she was more firm in her thoughts.


    "Well, if we go to america, I''ll think about it again. I''ll trouble you."


    "Yeah." Yi chen agreed and continued with some reluctance, "You are in a bad mood, that''s for sure, but you have to live on. You are always depressed and little treasure will be affected. That child is very clever. So you have to calm down as soon as possible and don''t let everyone worry, okay?"


    "Okay."


    Ye zhiqiao took a long breath and forced a smile to say goodbye to yi chen.


    After hanging up, she buried her head in her knees again and sat on the floor for a long time.

 Chapter 452 Suspecting Jian Mengqi

    In the hospital, jian mengqi, who heard that little treasure was sick, bought many snacks and toys to visit her.


    Ever since little treasure got sick, the atmosphere of the whole family has been exceptionally depressing, and jian mengqi''s naughty character and harmless jokes can just ease the atmosphere at this time.


    After playing all morning, jian mengqi sat by the bed and coaxed little treasure to eat, while ye zhiqiao ran back and forth to clean up the ward that was messed up by the two of them.


    At this moment, gu mohan pushed the door and walked in.


    His originally calm face darkened when he saw the person in the room.


    Ye zhiqiao and jian mengqi both saw that he was not in the right mood. They looked at each other, and then ye zhiqiao asked, "Are you done with the company? Have you eaten yet?"


    "Yeah." Gu mohan responded indifferently, staring straight at jian mengqi.


    Jian mengqi was so frightened by his stare that she shrank back and said, "Master gu, why are you looking at me like that? I know I look good, but zhiqiao is still here, you..."


    Halfway through the joke, gu mohan''s face turned even uglier than before. His eyes were cold as if they were about to burst out with ice.


    Jian mengqi weakly shut her mouth. She did not know where she had offended this master, so she did not dare to continue.


    Seeing the reaction of gu mohan and jian mengqi, ye zhiqiao frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Mohan, what are you doing?"


    In the past, jian mengqi often joked with gu mohan. Although gu mohan was not a gentleman at all and always followed the choking sound, it was only a joke to each other, but today... Gu mohan was obviously serious.


    "Come out with me." Gu mohan did not answer ye zhiqiao''s question and ordered in a low voice.


    Ye zhiqiao put down the cup in her hand and smiled at jian mengqi, indicating that she would continue to eat with little treasure, then she walked out the door.


    In the corridor, gu mohan still had a dead face and kept looking out the window into the ward.


    Ye zhiqiao closed the door and asked, "What''s wrong with you? I know you''ve been in a bad mood lately because of little treasure, but mengqi came here because she was concerned about little treasure. How can you throw a face at her?"


    Care about little treasure?


    Gu mohan chuckled and asked, "I sent someone to investigate the kindergarten. The results are out. Do you want to hear them?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally did not understand why he suddenly brought the topic there, but it was about little treasure, so she was naturally very curious.


    "What''s the result?" She asked with narrowed eyes.


    Gu mohan lowered his head slightly, his eyes not knowing where to look, and said slowly, "It''s very strange. My people have checked all the surveillance cameras in and out of the kindergarten. All the teachers in the kindergarten have also asked them one by one. Even the children of five or six years old who are in the same class as little treasure, they all took the time to coax them to understand the situation..."


    "But in the end, there was only one discovery."


    Gu mohan turned to his side and looked deeply into the ward. He said coldly, "That''s jian mengqi. She took little treasure away once."


    When jian mengqi left with little treasure, it must be something like going out to play or buying food. What''s so strange about that?


    Could it be that gu mohan...


    Ye zhiqiao asked incredulously, "Are you doubting jian mengqi?!"


    Gu mohan turned to look at her with a natural expression on his face.


    "How is that possible? This is ridiculous!"


    Ye zhi coincidentally shook her head speechlessly, feeling that gu mohan''s guess was simply impossible.


    Not to mention how much jian mengqi liked little treasure and how good she was to little treasure, just the relationship between jian mengqi and her, as well as the relationship between jian mengqi''s boyfriend Qin Baiye and gu mohan, the four of them were not a family, but they were already more like a family. Could they still frame each other?!


    Gu mohan looked at her and asked, "Is it impossible? We do have a good relationship, but we don''t know each other. I completely believe that Qin Baiye doesn''t know about this, but jian mengqi..."


    He sneered. It was as if she had already convicted jian mengqi in her heart.


    "Absolutely not!" Ye zhiqiao firmly denied his idea, "Jian mengqi is my best friend. She won''t hurt anyone. Don''t waste time on her. With this time, it''s better to investigate again."


    "But it''s not you she''s hurting now, it''s little treasure!"


    Gu mohan roared.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him in shock. She was so close to him, but she seemed so far away from him.


    He cared about little treasure and wanted to find the real culprit for him and take revenge. Didn''t she want to? But why did he suspect the people around her? Why not believe her?


    "You keep saying that you trust Qin Baiye completely. Why? Because he''s your friend, and he''s been with you through thick and thin for many years. But so did I and jian mengqi! During my toughest days, she was there to protect me, or else I would have died a long time ago. Why can''t you feel my feelings and trust me once?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were red and she tilted her head to ask gu mohan why he didn''t believe her.


    But gu Mohan was also puzzled why ye zhiqiao was so stubborn and refused to accept the reality.


    He nodded angrily and resigned to his fate, "Well, it seems that neither of us can convince or trust each other. Well, I''ll do it myself."


    "There''s something wrong with the company. I''m leaving first." He left these words behind perfunctorily, and when he turned around, there was no sign of him.


    Ye zhiqiao bit her lip and ran into the ward without looking in the direction he was leaving.


    Little treasure had already fallen asleep. Jian mengqi did not know what was going on outside, but when she saw ye zhiqiao''s face, she knew that they might have quarreled.


    "Is it because of me? I have a broken mouth. Why don''t you tell him not to be so knowledgeable with me?"


    Now is a very special period, and jian mengqi does not want to admit her mistake because she caused a conflict between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    Ye zhiqiao originally felt that gu mohan''s suspicions were unreasonable, so she naturally didn''t want to make things difficult for jian mengqi, so she hid it and said, "No, no, don''t think too much."


    "Ah?"


    Recalling the cold look in gu mohan''s eyes when he entered the door, jian mengqi was still trembling. If it wasn''t for her, then what was it?


    She was straightforward and immediately asked.


    "Because... Of little treasure." Ye zhiqiao then lied, "He found the whereabouts... He just ran into a little problem, so he''s in a bad mood. It''s really none of your business."


    "Oh..." Jian mengqi nodded in confusion, as if she still didn''t understand.


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid that her words would reveal her feelings. Just in time, the oatmeal that little treasure had been drinking was gone, so she opened her mouth and said, "By the way, you happened to be here. I have to go home to get little treasure''s oatmeal. You can take care of it for me."


    Jian mengqi readily agreed.

 Chapter 453 Jian Mengqi Was Followed

    All the way home from the hospital, ye zhiqiao had been thinking about what gu mohan had just said.


    The reason why they quarreled was undoubtedly because they trusted their friends but could not understand each other.


    If it were something else, perhaps gu mohan would stand with her and firmly believe in jian mengqi. Only if the victim became little treasure, he, as a father, could not calm down.


    She exhaled helplessly, suddenly feeling a little sad for gu mohan.


    If you have the chance, calm down and talk to gu mohan about this again. Both of them were too impulsive just now.


    With this thought in mind, ye zhiqiao had just returned home when she saw gu mohan lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.


    In just a few days, gu mohan''s face quickly sagged, his facial features became much more three-dimensional, and his body became thinner and thinner.


    He was too tired, physically and mentally.


    He just said that he wanted to go back to the company, but in fact, he was just looking for an excuse. He didn''t want to continue arguing with ye zhiqiao.


    No matter what he did to others, he could give his heart to xiao bao and ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao eased her mind and walked over to him and sat down.


    Gu mohan was a light sleeper, and when he heard the noise, he woke up and straightened up. Seeing that it was ye zhiqiao, he closed his eyes and leaned back.


    Ye zhiqiao raised her head and massaged his temple. Her voice was low and soothing, "Don''t be angry. You''re under a lot of pressure these days. I shouldn''t have put pressure on you too."


    Gu mohan pulled ye zhiqiao''s hand down and held it in his palm.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at the hands of the two people holding together for a while and continued, "I told you not to be angry. Jian mengqi took the initiative to admit her mistake and asked me to coax you. I know you suspect her, and I can''t change your mind. I just hope... You can listen to my advice."


    Gu mohan opened his eyes a little and stretched out his arms to hold ye zhiqiao to his chest, acquiescing to let her continue.


    "You already know what happened between me and jian mengqi since we met. I don''t want to play the emotional card, but I trust her in terms of character."


    Ye zhiqiao scratched gu mohan''s chin and said with a smile, "And you see, with her broad personality, even if she really wanted to kill xiao bao, she could only make a violent case like kidnapping and robbery. Using a needle or hurting little treasure in kindergarten, I don''t think she can do it. If she did, the security guards would have caught her the moment she entered."


    Judging from her iq and eq, it was really not possible for her to do this.


    Gu mohan''s attitude eased a little and followed ye zhiqiao, "What you said makes sense. I can hold back on the fact that she was the real culprit, but I must continue to investigate this matter."


    Because even if she couldn''t do it with her brain, it didn''t mean that no one had instructed her to do it. After the truth was revealed, no clues could be missed.


    Ye zhiqiao had tried her best to defend jian mengqi to this extent. After all, she was not gu mohan and could not change gu mohan''s perception, so she had to give up.


    Fortunately, gu mohan was no longer as hostile to jian mengqi as he was in the hospital.


    The next day, gu mohan continued to work for both the kindergarten and the company, while ye zhiqiao continued to stay in the hospital to take care of little treasure.


    But today, she was always a little absent-minded.


    She peeled four or five apples in a daze until little treasure pitifully stopped her from eating any more.


    But after putting down the fruit knife, she began to stare at the naked round apple.


    She didn''t sleep well last night. She had been dreaming all night. She dreamed of jian mengqi, little treasure, and gu mohan.


    In the dream, little treasure was sitting on the hospital bed crying, but gu mohan brought a pair of police officers to arrest jian mengqi. Jian mengqi held her hand and cried out, "No, I didn''t do those things. Zhiqiao, why don''t you believe me?!" .


    Just like that, jian mengqi''s desperate cry accompanied her all night.


    Ye zhiqiao was very confused, so she took out her cell phone and wanted to call jian mengqi to come over.


    Although she didn''t know what to say, she just wanted to see jian mengqi.


    The call went through, and it seemed that jian mengqi was on the street, surrounded by noises.


    Ye zhiqiao invited her to the hospital. She smiled and replied, "I originally planned to go to the hospital. Now I''m at the mall picking out snacks for little treasure. I''ll be there soon."


    Before ye zhiqiao could tell her that she could not finish what she bought yesterday, and that she did not need to buy anymore, little treasure who heard jian mengqi''s words suddenly rushed over and shouted from the other end of the phone.


    Aunt jane, can I buy a strawberry cake? Little treasure wants a cake!"


    "Little greedy cat!" Ye zhi patted little treasure on the head and pretended to teach him a lesson.


    But jian mengqi was very unhappy and said, "Why are you bullying little treasure? Isn''t it just a cake? What''s the point of eating me into bankruptcy? Wait for little treasure, aunt jane will buy it for you!"


    After saying that, she "Viciously" hung up the phone, looked around, saw a cake shop on the left, and walked in.


    In a van not far behind her, a masked man was talking through a bluetooth headset.


    "I''m in the cake shop. I''ll go to the hospital later."


    On the other side, ye yi''s voice came.


    "Watch her. Also, you should go to the cake shop and have a look. Don''t make any mistakes."


    "Yes."


    The man answered, opened the door and jumped out of the car.


    In the evening, as soon as jian mengqi left, gu mohan came to the hospital.


    Little treasure was holding half of the strawberry cake that he had not finished for lunch. Ye zhiqiao wiped her mouth and turned to ask gu mohan, "Are you done? Rest for a while before eating?"


    "Either way."


    Gu mohan sat down on the sofa and looked at little treasure lovingly for a while before asking, "Why did you buy her another cake? Just get used to her."


    Little treasure always liked sweets, but her teeth were not good, so gu mohan and ye zhiqiao banned her desserts together.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly waved her hand and said, "It wasn''t me. It was when I called mengqi that your daughter insisted on someone bringing cake."


    As she spoke, she reached out to hook the tip of little treasure''s nose and curled her mouth, "Little greedy cat!"


    Gu mohan shook his head helplessly and smiled. Then he flicked the cake box on the table and said to himself, "What cake is so delicious? I have to take a good look at how I can eat little treasure like this."


    The empty square box spun around a few times before stopping and facing gu mohan.


    He cast a casual glance, but his eyes suddenly stopped!

 Chapter 454 The Cake Shop of the The Su Family

    Sulismo bakery.


    The name of this bakery... Sounds familiar...


    He got up in a hurry and left the ward without explaining anything to ye zhiqiao and xiao bao. He called the assistant who was still working overtime at the company and asked him to investigate the bakery.


    When gu Mohan returned to the company, the assistant had printed out the complete information of the store and pulled out the surveillance video of the three days around the store.


    Not knowing what gu mohan''s purpose was, the assistant introduced the bakery systematically.


    From opening hours to daily earnings, there were investors behind it.


    The moment he heard su pan''s name, gu mohan suddenly realized.


    No wonder! No wonder he felt familiar. It was the su family store!


    At this time, the surveillance video was also playing the moment when jian mengqi entered the store. Gu mohan stared at the screen closely, then saw a man wearing a mask, and followed jian mengqi in.


    The screen showed jian mengqi and the man leaving one after another, and gu mohan pressed pause.


    Before he could speak, the assistant was already surprised, "Is that man following miss jane?"


    When she entered the cake shop, she did not buy anything, and she was obviously perfunctory in looking at things and dealing with the shop assistants. Instead, she kept turning to jian mengqi intentionally or unintentionally and followed closely behind her when she went out.


    What is this not tracking?


    Gu mohan did not say anything and waved to his assistant to leave.


    He had to think about the connection.


    First of all, the investigation of the kindergarten, except that jian mengqi took little treasure out once, did not find anything unusual.


    Today, jian mengqi went to the su family''s cake shop to buy cakes, and it was likely that someone followed her without her knowledge.


    So who was the person following her? Was he hired?


    And did she go to the su family''s bakery intentionally or unintentionally?


    This was something that was still unsolved. It was like a series of small paths crisscrossing each other. Every time they walked on one, they found that the road was blocked.


    Ye zhiqiao tried to prove jian mengqi''s innocence, so should he believe in jian mengqi as well as ye zhiqiao?


    This is another unsolved matter.


    But aside from everything else, based on speculation, perhaps the su family had something to do with little treasure''s death.


    Because there were so many cake shops in the city, jian mengqi had entered the su family, which was enough to arouse suspicion. And a while ago, the marriage between the gu family and the su family had just failed. Su yanbai and the su family were in dire straits.


    Only the su family has the motivation and ability.


    Gu mohan rested his forehead on his clenched hands and stared straight at the table, which contained countless disgusts.


    The only rule in the business world is that the winner is the king and the loser is the aggressor. If the enemy''s family is killed because of the conflict of interests, then this kind of person is not even worthy of living. How can he stay in the business world?!


    Gu mohan calmed down and prepared to calm down. He continued to think about the methods of the investigation and how to find out who was behind it.


    At this time, the hospital suddenly called, saying that little treasure''s condition... Worsened!


    He had no time to think about anything else and immediately drove back to the hospital.


    Little treasure had already been pushed into the operating room. Ye zhiqiao was sitting alone in a chair by the corridor, her waist collapsed, and her eyes were staring at the door of the emergency room without a tear on her face.


    In the past few days, gu mohan was used to seeing ye zhiqiao crying over little treasure''s collapse, but now that she stopped crying, he felt even more distressed.


    Such ye zhiqiao seemed to have completely given up hope. Gu mohan was even sure that if something really happened to little treasure and he could never get out, ye zhiqiao would go with her!


    Thinking of this, gu mohan quickly walked to ye zhiqiao''s side and suddenly hugged her in his arms. His voice was trembling and comforting, "It''s okay, it''s okay, Zhiqiao. Little treasure will come out soon. Don''t do this..."


    Ye zhiqiao did not speak, like a porcelain doll without any spirit.


    Gu mohan rubbed her cheek with his warm palm. If it weren''t for the warmth in his arms, he would have thought she was dead.


    But what should we do? What about their little treasure? What about ye zhiqiao?


    He raised his head and closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths and continued, "There''s a temporary procedure problem at the hospital in the united states, but it will be settled soon. Little treasure will be able to receive treatment soon. As I said, the medical technology there is the best. When we see little treasure again, she will recover."


    Little treasure was still lying quietly in the emergency room. Gu mohan held ye zhiqiao in his arms and kept talking, comforting ye zhiqiao and cheering himself up.


    But ye zhiqiao stared at the door without moving or opening her mouth.


    Xiao bao was admitted to the hospital, and the emergency room alone had been in several times. Ye yiyu was finally able to confirm the news that she was ill.


    Ye yiyu was proud and excited that his plan was successful. He immediately invited bai zixuan out to celebrate.


    Unexpectedly, su yanbai came with bai zixuan!


    Ye yiyu was not as "Sensible" as shen monong. She had not forgotten anything about what su yanbai had done to her before. When she saw su yanbai, she threw down half of the menu, rushed over, pointed at su yanbai''s nose and shouted, "You still have the face to show up?! Didn''t you not want to see me? I thought you were afraid that I would take revenge on you. Why aren''t you afraid now?!"


    Su yanbai was ready to face ye yiyu, the crazy woman, before she came over. She was just scolded by people pointing at her nose in front of many diners. She was still very embarrassed, so she choked back with her neck stuck up and said, "What are you, I''m afraid of you? You wish!"


    "Su yanbai." Bai zixuan tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to keep quiet.


    Bai zixuan had already told su yanbai that ye yiyu would definitely be emotional when she saw her, so he told her to try her best not to go against ye yiyu.


    After all, ye yiyu had the full authority to plan and implement this incident, and in the future plans, ye yiyu was also required to cooperate. The previous thing was that su yanbai was sorry for ye yiyu, so it was normal for others to vent.


    But su yanbai was also an arrogant young lady, and the most important thing was her face. Ye yiyu made her lose face, and she couldn''t bear it!


    After ye yiyu scolded her again, she picked up the glass next to her and poured it down on ye yiyu''s head.


    "Su yanbai, you''ve gone too far!" Bai zixuan finally couldn''t stand it anymore. He grabbed the wine glass from su yanbai''s hand and fell to the ground. Then he came to ye yiyu and handed her a tissue.

 Chapter 455 There Was Still a Fire Missing

    Ye yiyu glared at him fiercely and asked in a deep voice, "I asked you to come over. What did you bring her for?!"


    Bai zixuan choked, then helped her wipe the wine stains and said in a good way, "Don''t be like her. We all have the same goal. We still have to cooperate in the future. There''s no need to make the relationship so stiff, okay?"


    "What the hell! I can''t cooperate with this woman!"


    Ye yiyu waved him away and stared at su yanbai without blinking.


    At this time, the owner of the restaurant heard the news and ran over to the three of them. "What''s wrong with you guys?" If there''s anything wrong with this shop, you can give me your opinion, but don''t fight and make trouble here... My shop is too small to handle."


    Just as su yan spilled the wine, the diners in the restaurant put down their chopsticks and looked over. Some of them even checked out and left in a hurry.


    The more people gathered around, the more reluctant su yanbai was to lose face, so she raised her voice to the boss and said, "If you want to keep your business safe and sound, remember better next time. Don''t let this crazy woman in. Those who don''t know think you have a dog in your shop."


    As she spoke, she turned to face ye yiyu again, raised her chin and scolded provocatively, "Crazy dog!"


    "Su yanbai! Shut your mouth!"


    This time, before ye yiyu could speak, bai zixuan had already stood up for her.


    First of all, it was bai zixuan''s own decision to bring su yanbai here today, but what su yanbai did made him unable to step down. Second, although su yanbai and ye yiyu were both spoiled young ladies, ye yiyu had fallen from the altar and knew how to hate and retaliate. Su yanbai was no match for her.


    If the two must not be compatible, then he will stand on the side of ye yiyu.


    Su yanbai still held her head high, thinking that she had trampled the world beneath her feet, but bai zixuan had already pulled ye yiyu out of the restaurant angrily, leaving her alone to face the crowd or to look at them with sympathy or ridicule.


    At this moment, shen monong, who had been watching the show in the dark, finally appeared.


    She came to su yanbai. Under her huge sunglasses, she had a pair of smiling eyes, "Stop fooling around here. Don''t you think it''s embarrassing?"


    Su yanbai raised her eyelids and glanced at her, then turned and walked out the door.


    In the luxurious rv, su yanbai looked around and leaned back with her arms in her arms, "Sure, shen monong. You''ve been doing well lately. You even have a rv. Did you squeeze into the front line?"


    Shen mosheng pulled the car door and pulled up his hair. He said modestly, "I don''t think so. It''s just a little more popular, a little more fans, and a little more announcements."


    "Hiss -"


    Su yanbai sneered contemptuously, apparently not eating shen monong''s suit.


    With her family background, if she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, she would not know how long she had been popular, but she liked to be crazy and loose, and despised those who worked hard to climb up.


    In her opinion, shen molong''s current results were just a playwright, a show-off.


    "Shen Qingyuan should have used up all his wealth to promote you to this stage, right?" Su yanbai sneered.


    Shen mo''s smile froze on his face, the tip of his tongue against his cheek, and his eyes darkened instantly.


    It was only when she saw su yanbai being thrown there that she felt sorry that she came out to rescue her. She did not expect su yanbai, who was not a good person, to bite back!


    Shen mo nong sneered and said with certainty, "Yes, there''s no money. But don''t worry, miss su. My dad has no money and Mohan is here. He won''t leave me alone."


    Gu mohan?!


    Hearing this name, su yanbai reflexively bounced up and asked sternly, "What does gu mohan have to do with you? Stop being so sentimental!"


    Shen monong was so excited that he forgot about su yanbai''s engagement to gu mohan.


    But that doesn''t matter. Anyway, the engagement party had already failed.


    Shen mo nong spread out his hands indifferently, pretending to be innocent and blinking his eyes, "Not now, but in the future. It''s impossible for you to marry him. He always wants to marry someone else, right? Isn''t my status just right for him?"


    "Nonsense!!"


    Gu mohan and the engagement banquet were su yanbai''s achilles'' heel, but shen monong mentioned them all! Her eyes were grim and threatening, "Do you think my su family is in decline now, and even my fiance can''t keep it? Stop dreaming! Gu mohan will always be my man. You''d better play your part peacefully. If I find out that you dare to seduce gu mohan..."


    She looked shen monong up and down and continued, "Everything you have now will disappear. If you don''t believe me, you can try!"


    In his own territory, he was insulted by outsiders pointing at his nose. Although no one saw him, shen monong still could not swallow his breath.


    She retorted forcefully, "Then don''t dream about it. The person gu mohan likes is ye zhiqiao. You know it very well in your heart!"


    "Ye zhiqiao?" Su yanbai''s attitude was even more contemptuous, "Is she worthy to compare with me? Hmph, as long as yi chen continues to pester her, sooner or later, she will not be able to maintain her image of a white lotus!"


    After the harsh words, shen monong was still secretly wondering why there was something dusty in it. Su yanbai had already opened the car door and left quickly with a gloomy face.


    Originally, she wanted to do a good deed, but she was warned. Shen monong was not in the mood for the long day off, so she waved the driver over and drove home.


    But when she got home, shen Qingyuan was still waiting for her.


    Shen Qingyuan had been busy with the company''s projects for a while, and shen monong had not seen him for a long time. He only received the program and movie resources that he introduced from time to time.


    Seeing that he was at home, shen mo nong jumped up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying coquettishly, "Dad, do you know you have a daughter? I''m exhausted from not coming to see me for so long!"


    "Well, isn''t dad busy, too?"


    Shen Qingyuan pulled her daughter to her side and sat down. After a careful look, she found that she had lost a lot of weight.


    Even if there were people behind him, the effort in front of the stage still depended on him. It was not easy to get ahead in that circle.


    However, he came today to put pressure on his daughter.


    "Mo nong, you have a strong momentum right now. If it goes well, it''s almost time to rush into the front line, but there''s still a fire missing. Do you know what it is?"


    What does a celebrity need to become famous?


    Ability, work, fans, opportunities... And essential, gossip!


    The first four things shen Qingyuan could buy for shen mo long with money and connections, but the last one was on her own.

 Chapter 456 Shen Munong Changed His Target

    In fact, there was no need for shen Qingyuan to mention it. Shen monong also understood that she loved gu mohan wholeheartedly and had already paid a lot for it. Besides gu mohan, she did not know which other famous children she could go to.


    And even if he did, he would certainly not be better than gu Mohan.


    Shen Qingyuan knew what she was thinking, so he advised her earnestly, "No matter how good the tree is, we can''t hang it. Seeing that he and ye zhiqiao have been together for so long, even if they may be separated in the future, your situation can''t wait. If you don''t want your father and your own efforts to be wasted, you should hurry up and work hard for yourself. If you succeed, you will have a bright future!"


    Give up gu mohan and change to a promising one?


    This question lingered in shen mo''s mind for a long time.


    In fact, before this, when she was on the phone with shen Qingyuan, shen Qingyuan had mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, but she pretended to be dumb and vague, but this time, shen Qingyuan directly expressed his attitude, so she could not continue to escape.


    The failure of the charity dinner last time really hit her hard, and today she was threatened and warned by su yanbai, maybe she should not continue to persevere.


    She really wanted gu mohan, but she wanted more glory and wealth!


    But after giving up gu mohan, who should she look for?


    This is another rather wasteful question. Fortunately, two days later, she got a chance to go to the united states to show off the big names. There, she found the answer.


    America.


    The international famous fashion show was indeed as grand as legend. As a representative of chinese artists, shen monong was naturally dressed up to attend.


    After the two shows, she was not surprised to notice that sitting in the first row of the guest seats, like her, was a dusty person with black hair and black eyes.


    For yi chen, her impression only lingered on what shen Qingyuan said was the brother of yi shaozhi, president of Yi''s.


    She knew that second young master yi was naturally unrestrained and unrestrained, especially in the early years of his life. He was known for being a playboy and was very unpopular.


    But recently, I don''t know what happened. It seems that I suddenly stopped changing girlfriends every now and then. I don''t even have any extra women around me.


    She had previously suspected that second young master yi was playing with some hidden disease, but based on su yanbai''s words a few days ago, she guessed that this young master probably had a crush on ye zhiqiao, so he had been chasing after her and was not in the mood to stir up trouble.


    If that''s the case, that''s perfect.


    Ye zhiqiao was so domineering that she could seduce ye zhiqiao''s pursuers!


    In any case, the Yi''s is no worse than the gu family. She can climb the dust, and she will have a good time in the future.


    After making this decision, after the show ended, she threw away all her assistants and chased after yi chen alone.


    Yi chen was invited to watch the show today. He was not used to being followed by drivers and secretaries, so he drove alone. Just then, shen monong, who was laughing so hard, twisted his waist and walked over.


    "Hello, you are young master yi chen yi, right? This is shen monong."


    Shen mo nong reached out his hand and pretended to be surprised, "It''s really rare to meet my fellow countrymen abroad!"


    Yi chen was stunned for a long time, then smiled stiffly, and in order to be polite, he still extended his hand.


    What he thought was: rare?! Do you think it''s a time of war when the two countries don''t interact with each other? This is new china, okay? Almost all the people sitting with me were chinese.


    As shen monong knew, yi chen loved to play a few years ago. He was familiar with all kinds of ways of flirting and seduction. If he wanted to pretend in front of him, shen monong was still a few levels behind.


    However, although shen mo nong''s methods were not as good as yi chen''s, her acting skills were good. Seeing that yi chen didn''t seem to be interested in her, she immediately put on a look of exhaustion and blinked her eyes in grievance, "I''m sorry, yi chen, but is it convenient for you to take me for a ride? The staff next to me are going out to the party, but I''m too tired and dizzy. I want to go back to the hotel first."


    The staff went out to play and let the artists go back to the hotel by themselves?


    Yi chen put on a "You must be joking with me" expression.


    Realizing that what he said was out of line, shen mo nong quickly explained, "I didn''t want them to send me off because I didn''t want to affect them."


    Look! How selfless, how glorious!


    She acted so well that yi chen could not tell the truth from the truth, but only gave her a ride. I guess there was nothing wrong, so yi chen did not refuse.


    However, he did not want to, because of this soft-hearted thought, the next morning, he and shen mo thick rode back to the hotel news and made the headlines on the website.


    Yi chen never bothered to listen to these gossips and naturally did not dwell on the details. For example, how did their affairs abroad spread so quickly back to the country and caused a huge uproar in the country in a short period of time.


    And the reason for the matter, naturally, lies with shen monong.


    The paparazzi who took photos, the website that published the news, and the large number of online rumors were all invited by her.


    As netizens speculated more and more about the relationship between her and yi chen and deviated more and more from the truth, she decided to add more fire at this time!


    In the hotel room, shen mosheng called yi chen with a crying voice, "When are you coming? Didn''t you say we would meet at four? It''s been ten minutes! Is it because you don''t care about it, so you don''t want to care about me?"


    Last night, shen moshen met yichen at the hotel where she was staying today, on the grounds that she was too affected by the online turmoil and wanted to discuss a solution with him.


    Yi chen didn''t take those rumors seriously at all. He didn''t intend to come at first, but shen mo nong cried and sold miserably. He said how difficult it was for him to get to this stage. Yi chen couldn''t stand her pleading and had to agree.


    The second time he received a call from shen monong, yi chen had reached the floor written on the address.


    He interrupted shen monong''s complaint and said impatiently, "It''s already at the door. Open the door!"


    When he heard that he was coming, shen mo nong''s tears immediately disappeared, and she put on makeup in front of the mirror, then happily went over to open the door.


    Perhaps her joy was too obvious. Yi chen looked at her suspiciously for a long time and asked, "I think you''re fine. You''re not lying to me, are you?"


    Shen mo was startled and immediately glanced down from the corner of his mouth. "Forcing a smile," he said," how can I?" My manager has been scolding me for this all day. She just left before you came."


    "Really?"


    "Of course!" Shen moshen turned around and invited yi chen in.

 Chapter 457 Nominal Boyfriend

    "Would you like something to drink?" Shen monong picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine rack, shook it and said, "How about this?"


    Yi chen shook his head and refused.


    He''s here to talk, not to have a party.


    However, as if he didn''t hear it, shen mo nong went to the kitchen to open the wine bottle and found two more glasses to pour, then took them out and put them in front of yi chen.


    Yi chen glanced at him but did not move.


    Shen molong frowned and said, "Hey, can''t you give me some face? How can you treat me like this even if you don''t feel guilty?"


    After the show, she was the one who had to pester someone else to drive her, and after the scandal appeared, her topic heat and popularity soared.


    "I don''t need to feel guilty. You''re the one who started this, and you''re the one who said that he had to find a way to solve it. I''ve already cooperated. If you don''t want to talk, I''ll leave immediately."


    As he spoke, yi chen was about to get up.


    Shen mo nong didn''t know that yi chen was so difficult to deal with and immediately panicked.


    She stood up in a daze and began to recover, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I''ve been so confused by the scandal these days. That''s why... I offended you... Let''s keep talking, I..."


    She glanced at the red wine on the table, picked up the glass in front of her and poured it down.


    "Hey!"


    Yi chen tried to stop him, but it was too late.


    A glass of red wine "Gurgling" down his stomach, shen mo thick tears were forced out, and then asked him pitifully: "Is this okay? Can you sit down and help me think of something?"


    A woman has already achieved this step, even if yi chen''s heart is no longer disgusted with her, at this moment he can not go out, so he had to sit down again.


    Shen monong placed the empty glass next to the other one containing the wine.


    Yi chen took a look, then picked up his glass and drank it clean.


    Now, there were only two empty glasses left on the table, and shen monong''s face returned to the smiling and contented look he had when he ran to open the door.


    Yi chen was wondering why she suddenly smiled so strangely. The next second, he knew the answer.


    Dizziness, dizziness, blackness in front of him, he could not find any possible reason except for the glass of wine he had just drunk because he was embarrassed!


    Shen mo long, this woman, actually drugged him!!!


    But anger was useless. He had no strength left. He raised his hand, closed his eyes, and slid weakly down the sofa.


    The next morning, he became shen mo long''s nominal boyfriend.


    It was funny to say that he had been toying with other people for many years, but this time, he was tricked by a woman.


    It was really a response to that sentence.


    But even so, when he saw the photos of the two naked men lying on the bed taken by shen monong, he could not suppress his anger!


    "You bitch! For the sake of that poor reputation, you really don''t care about anything. You don''t want to have a face?!"


    He grabbed the needle at his hand and tried to throw it at shen monong.


    Shen mo nong turned away, her red lips still curling in disgust. Then she opened her lips gently and said slowly, "Can you change your face for money, can you change your life of living a carefree life? The answer is no. Only money and fame can change what I want. It just so happens that you, young master yi, can bring me both."


    I see, it''s all a conspiracy!


    No wonder he felt strange the first time he saw shen moshen. At that time, he always felt that there was something in this woman that could not be ignored. Now he finally understood that it was shen moshen''s ambition!


    The ambition to step on someone else''s top!


    Yi chen hated being played with the most, so he reached out his tongue to sweep his lips and asked with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Do you think these photos will be enough to settle me down? Then you don''t know me very well!"


    He lifted the quilt and sat naked in front of shen monong, saying word by word, "I have a lot of bad reputation. I''m not afraid to add another one. Besides, second young master yi has never been afraid of anything."


    You wanted to show the world my dirty side, but you never thought that the world had already seen through me and was disappointed in me.


    Shen mo nong looked at him with deep eyes and remained silent for a moment, then he actually looked up and laughed.


    Fortunately, it was a good thing that that idiot su yanbai inadvertently revealed yi chen''s weakness to her. Otherwise, at this moment, she really did not know what to do with this scoundrel!


    "Young master yi is not afraid of anything. What about ye zhiqiao? Are you not afraid?"


    Shen mo looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "Although ye zhiqiao is still with gu mohan, you haven''t given up, have you? If these photos..."


    She shook off the photos of the endless spring light on her hands and leaned down to face yi chen, "They were seen by ye zhiqiao. You won''t even have a chance to fight for them in the future."


    Yi chen''s cynical smile slowly crumbled between shen monong''s words.


    He forgot the most important thing!


    So what if he''s so unruly? So what if we play the game? As long as one ye zhiqiao, it was enough to beat him to the ground and make him fall into a rout!


    "... What do you want?"


    Yi chen closed his eyes and asked helplessly.


    "Hehe... Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..." Shen mo nong shook his head and laughed. It was a laugh at yi chen''s surrender and a celebration of his plan''s success.


    After laughing enough, she said in yi chen''s cold eyes, "I want you... To be my boyfriend."


    ...


    In china, gu mohan rarely took a vacation and stayed in the ward with ye zhiqiao to guard little treasure.


    After the last time the illness worsened, the rescued little treasure was in a much worse state of mind. He slept more in the day than before, but ate less and less.


    Ye zhiqiao was worried about her and began to lose weight.


    Just as gu mohan was trying to persuade her to eat more breakfast, he received a call from his father.


    "Mohan, what have you been up to lately? You haven''t been home for a long time. Why, is little treasure still ill?" Father gu heard about little treasure''s illness, but he didn''t know what kind of illness it was. He just thought it was an ordinary cold and fever.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked at each other, then avoided the important and said lightly, "The company was negotiating a project a while ago, and it just ended today."


    Without much doubt, father gu agreed, and then said, "Since the company is done, come home and sit down. The maid bought a lot of food today. You just came to have lunch."


    "... Okay."


    Gu mohan thought for a moment and agreed.


    Putting down the phone, ye zhiqiao came over and asked worriedly, "Why did you suddenly come home? Is something wrong?"


    According to past experience, every time gu father and gu mother called gu mohan home, there was nothing good.

 Chapter 458 Conversation in the Study

    Gu mohan naturally did not know what new tricks his father and mother had, but it was a blessing not a curse, it was a curse that could not be avoided.


    He got up, put on his suit jacket, thought about it for a while, and then guessed, "I guess there are only two things. One is to criticize me for not handling the subsequent events of the engagement party well, the other is to get me to work with the relatives of the gu family."


    Ye zhiqiao had been focusing all her attention on little treasure recently. She didn''t know anything about what gu mohan said.


    "What''s the follow-up to the engagement party?" She asked first.


    Looking at her worried face and an unwavering stance, gu mohan simply suggested, "If you really don''t feel at ease, just come back with me. It just so happens that little treasure is taking a nap. You should take a break. I''ll tell you about those things on the way."


    Ever since the marriage between the gu family and the su family broke down, gu father and gu mother had tacitly acknowledged ye zhiqiao''s existence, but ye zhiqiao had not been able to visit her, so it was normal to go there once today.


    With this in mind, ye zhiqiao tucked little treasure in and left with gu mohan.


    On the way, gu mohan told ye zhiqiao that because the events at his engagement banquet with su yanbai had a great impact and affected a wide range of people, there were many guesses from all sides.


    Some of the voices thought that su yanbai had misbehaved, so she was approached by her "Ex-boyfriend" on the day of the engagement.


    Some of them thought that gu mohan was unwilling to get engaged, so he was deliberately looking for something to do with his life and splashed dirty water on su yanbai. After all, on the day of the engagement party, there was so much chaos at the scene, but gu mohan never came forward to say a word.


    Later on, as the su family was severely damaged, the gu family was in a state of disarray. More and more supporters of the second statement, so that the gu family''s reputation was more or less damaged.


    Gu mohan felt that his father was probably looking for him to force him to come up with a strategy as soon as possible.


    It turned out that gu mohan''s guess was very accurate.


    After he and ye zhiqiao entered the door, he had just said hello to gu fu and gu mother, and gu fu began to question him.


    Mohan, explain it to me. At your level, you shouldn''t have allowed such negative comments, but what about now? Not only is it produced, it''s still fermenting!"


    As long as there is enough power and money, it is easy to block the crowd. This is the default rule of the upper world.


    Gu mohan naturally knew, but...


    "At the engagement banquet, and after that, my attack on the su family was about to push them to the brink of extinction. If we continue to suppress them, it would be too..."


    He wanted to say "Too inhumane," but he changed his tone and said, "Dad, you and uncle su have known each other for many years. You don''t want to make it difficult for him, do you?"


    Father gu glanced at him and snorted coldly, "So what about friends? When interests do not collide, you can be as affectionate as you like, but as long as you become an opponent, you must fight for yourself, even if you kill the other party! I''ve told you this since you were very young."


    That''s right, the education that father gu gave gu mohan had always been extreme.


    Useful people must become best friends, no one or opponents, they must spare no effort to trample to death!


    But gu mohan did not agree with his way of doing things. He felt that only when he had some leeway in everything would he be able to do it with ease. Giving people a way to live was also giving himself a way to live.


    The two of them had different views and were quick to remain silent.


    At first, mother gu blamed gu mohan along with father gu, but she could do nothing but to make a fuss, and in the end, she could only be quiet.


    Ye zhiqiao sat quietly and watched the family of three arguing. Just when she thought it was over, she was suddenly called by her father.


    "Zhiqiao, come with me to the study. I have something to tell you."


    Father gu... Father gu wants to talk to her alone?!


    Ye zhi happened to look at the three of them one by one with an expression of seeing aliens. Gu father looked at her kindly, as if he did not feel how amazing a request he had just made. Gu mother should have known what gu father was thinking, so there was no special expression. Only gu mohan was as shocked as she was.


    "Dad, what do you want to talk to zhiqiao about?" Gu mohan asked a question for ye zhiqiao.


    Father gu glared at gu mohan unhappily, "I need to talk to my son''s girlfriend and report it to you? Do you want me to write an application in advance?!"


    Ye zhiqiao quickly took the lead and said, "Okay, I''ll go to the study with uncle. Mohan, you can stay and accompany auntie for me."


    Father gu had already said that. If she didn''t agree quickly, she would appear too arrogant.


    Although her parents did not show the same disgust towards her this time, she also understood that the two of them were not willing to accept her from the bottom of their hearts.


    So the more they did this, the better she wanted to do!


    In the study on the second floor, gu father asked the servants to make some new tea for this season. Then he asked ye zhiqiao, "Zhiqiao, what have you been doing lately? Your aunt and I both feel that you don''t look well and you don''t seem to be in a good mood."


    "Really?"


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed her cheek awkwardly and explained, "Maybe I didn''t sleep well."


    Hearing from the people in the company that ye zhiqiao had not been working recently, gu father asked, "Is it because of little treasure? She''s been sick recently. Are you taking care of her?"


    If it was just a normal illness, ye zhiqiao would not torture herself to this point, but these words could not be said to gu father.


    "Yes. Little treasure has poor resistance and often gets sick." Ye zhiqiao nodded and mumbled.


    Father gu gave a clear "Yes" and then enlightened her, "Didn''t Mohan say that she had an old illness since she was a child? It won''t be cured overnight. You can relax and don''t let it drag you down. Besides, we have a big family, so why can''t we take care of this child? If you''re too busy, ask Mohan to find more nannies and nurses."


    Ye zhiqiao never agreed that gu mohan would find a nanny to take care of little treasure, because she thought that children should spend more time with their parents to get the best affection and education.


    So she vaguely agreed again.


    At this moment, the door was knocked, and the servant came in with tea, put it in front of the two of them, and then leaned back.


    Father gu opened the lid, closed his eyes and took a sip of the tea, revealing a satisfied face. Then he made a "Please" gesture and said to ye zhiqiao, "I remember you like tea. How about tasting it?"


    "You too."


    Ye zhiqiao politely took a sip from her teacup.


    It has a strong and sweet taste and is a good tea.

 Chapter 459 Go Abroad for Treatment

    When he received the compliment, his father beamed with joy and introduced him with a little pride, "This is a distant relative of the gu family from the other end of china. The journey was very troublesome, but fortunately it did not delay the best tea tasting time."


    He suddenly mentioned that the distant relatives of the gu family sent tea. Ye zhiqiao felt a little strange, but she didn''t know how to answer, so she had to agree a few words.


    Father gu continued, "You don''t know that relative yet, but Mohan does. He wants to invest in a project with us recently. When Mohan works with him, you will know him."


    "...


    It was tea delivery and cooperation, and ye zhiqiao became more and more confused. She wondered if father gu had acquiesced to her marriage with gu mohan and asked her to see the rest of the gu family earlier.


    No, no, no, I don''t think so.


    She had just denied her delusional thoughts, and father gu immediately gave an indirect answer.


    Gu''s father suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and shook his head helplessly, "However, Mohan is not very optimistic about this cooperation. He always wants to reject the other party. Alas... If he really disagrees, then you and the gu family will not be destined."


    There was a pity in his words, as if ye zhiqiao had no chance to enter the gu family if gu mohan did not cooperate with the gu family.


    At this point, ye zhiqiao finally understood what father gu was thinking.


    He should be hoping that she can facilitate this cooperation.


    Sure enough, father gu then stared at ye zhiqiao with a bright eye and asked, "Zhiqiao, Mohan listens to you the most now. See if you can help uncle persuade him to reconsider this matter."


    Hearing gu fu''s question, ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered two guesses about gu Mohan before she came out of the hospital.


    At that time, she only focused on matters related to the engagement banquet, and now she realized that the original purpose of gu father was to let gu mohan cooperate with the gu family.


    No matter who the relatives of the gu family were or what the project was, as long as it was something that gu mohan had clearly rejected, she had no reason to persuade him to change as her girlfriend.


    So ye zhiqiao shook her head and answered apologetically but firmly, "I''m sorry uncle, I don''t know much about Mohan''s business, but I completely trust him and support him, so I might disappoint you."


    That''s a rejection?


    He didn''t expect to be rejected so soon. His face suddenly turned ugly and his eyes were filled with slight dissatisfaction.


    Fortunately, at this time, downstairs called "Eat," just in time for ye zhi to defuse the encirclement.


    Father gu propped himself up on the table and snorted, "You are too young to understand many things. Well, you might as well go back and think about it before you give me an answer."


    After saying that, he did not give ye zhiqiao a chance to refuse, so he opened the door and went downstairs first.


    After this meal, ye zhiqiao ate in a state of panic. From time to time, she had to observe the expression of gu father and gu mother.


    But maybe it was because gu mohan was there, and they didn''t say anything until the end.


    Just before gu mohan and ye zhiqiao left, gu father and gu mother casually asked about little treasure, saying that even if little treasure had a relapse, it would be more difficult to eat. Why didn''t he come with his father to play at his grandparents'' house this time?


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao exchanged a look, then found an excuse to perfunctorily say: "This time, little treasure has symptoms of fever, and is still in the hospital infusion, there is no way out."


    Indeed, problems with the stomach and intestines can easily cause fever, which gu parents had heard from gu Mohan before, so there was no doubt.


    "In that case, let''s talk about it next time."


    Father and mother gu said nothing more and watched the two of them leave.


    Sitting in the car back to the hospital, ye zhiqiao recounted to gu Mohan what her father said in the study. As she thought, gu mohan was very reluctant to cooperate with that relative. He praised her for doing the right thing and told her that if her father asked her next time, she would just refuse directly. There was no need to worry about it.


    Ye zhiqiao agreed, and then asked xiao bao about the progress of his treatment abroad.


    Today, father and mother gu had unintentionally asked little treasure three times. They could hide it for a while, but they could not hide it forever. Little treasure must recover quickly.


    If they had known the truth before then, they could not imagine what they would have done to little treasure who was suffering from this disease. With their face and reputation as everything, they might have forced gu mohan to sever his relationship with little treasure. By then, things would have become much more troublesome.


    Gu mohan was also worried about this problem, but fortunately, the wrong procedures were completed this morning.


    "You can send little treasure abroad tomorrow. The plane ticket has been bought. There are four bodyguards and a nurse with two nannies."


    He turned to look at ye zhiqiao and explained, "I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but when I suddenly returned to the mansion, I forgot."


    ... So fast."


    Ye zhiqiao was very upset, so she casually agreed and turned her head to look out the window.


    She didn''t want gu mohan to find out that she was crying again, but the thought of being so far away from little treasure soon made her feel terrible, as if her whole heart had been torn and ravaged.


    But this separation was inevitable. Only by doing so could little treasure''s life be saved!


    The next morning, little treasure got on a plane to the united states, accompanied by everyone.


    Ye zhiqiao cried a few times at the airport and fainted. Gu mohan comforted her and sent her home forcefully, then returned directly to the company.


    One after another, he didn''t even have time to feel sorry for little treasure''s departure, so he had to shift his mind elsewhere.


    Such as the gu family''s annoying relatives, such as the real culprit in the kindergarten incident...


    After several days of continuous investigation, apart from the two suspects, jian mengqi and su yanbai, he had not received any other gains.


    Feeling that he couldn''t continue like this, gu mohan decided to ask for help.


    So half an hour later, Qin Baiye came to his office.


    "Did little treasure fly to the united states just now? I''m sorry, a client came to me on a temporary basis and didn''t make it." Qin Baiye apologized after entering.


    Qin Baiye had always been very concerned about little treasure. He came to the hospital several times, each time with a big bag of things, and changed his serious nature to play games with little treasure.


    How could gu mohan blame him for such a small matter?


    "It''s okay. Just pick it up when you get back." He said half-jokingly.


    Qin Baiye smiled and asked, "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"


    It''s urgent... Not really, but there''s one big thing.


    Although gu mohan felt that it would be difficult for Qin Baiye to accept what he said, he had to say it for the sake of little treasure.

 Chapter 460 Help Investigate

    "Bai ye, do you think... Jian mengqi... How are you doing?"


    When Qin Baiye heard this, he was stunned and asked in a daze, "Mengqi is just like that. Why do you ask?"


    Gu mohan pursed his lips, as if he was deliberating his words, trying to put the matter into words as tactfully as possible.


    But he suspected that it was useless to say that to jian mengqi.


    After struggling for a long time, he gave up and chose the simplest and most direct way to say, "I... Doubt jian mengqi about the murder of little treasure in kindergarten."


    "What?!!"


    Qin Baiye stood up abruptly, shocked for the first time in his life.


    He had already heard gu Mohan and ye zhiqiao talk about the cause of xiao bao''s illness, and knew that gu mohan had been pursuing this matter, and even offered to help, but gu mohan refused.


    But even if he refused, why did he still suspect his girlfriend?!


    Gu mohan had expected this reaction from Qin Baiye, so he quickly got up and comforted her, "Don''t get agitated. I''m just suspicious, so I asked you to help me..."


    "What can I do for you?"


    Qin Baiye interrupted him and said inexplicably, "What do you want me to do now that you suspect my girlfriend? Help you investigate her? Then you don''t even have to think about it, and I don''t believe she would do such a thing!"


    Gu mohan knew that Qin Baiye would never believe his words alone.


    So he turned on the surveillance video stored on his computer and explained it to Qin Baiye as he showed it to him.


    "This is the surveillance camera at the entrance of the kindergarten on the day of little treasure''s illness. It shows that apart from ye zhiqiao picking her up sooner or later, only jian mengqi entered the school by herself and took her away."


    Qin Baiye frowned at him, "So? The kindergarten students and teachers do not doubt it, but only think that mengqi did it?!"


    If jian mengqi heard about this, she would be furious!


    Gu mohan sat down beside him and explained patiently once again, "I have sent people to investigate the people in the kindergarten several times, and I can almost guarantee that there is no problem. I can tell you the truth, except for jian mengqi, there is only one suspect, that is su yanbai. But my suspicions about su yanbai are very far-fetched. There''s no evidence at all. It''s just a guess."


    Qin Baiye turned his head away from gu mohan''s gaze.


    He had never been involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, so gu mohan suspected that he had no right to speak to anyone, and it was probably not effective to defend jian mengqi, so he simply kept his mouth shut.


    But gu Mohan refused to give up, "Bai ye, I told you this is not to use brotherhood to coerce you and me into suspecting jian mengqi. I just want to ask you a favor. Your relationship with jian mengqi is close. If there is anything unusual about her, you will find it easily. So I hope you can..."


    Qin Baiye took a deep breath and interrupted him again, "What if I say there''s nothing unusual?"


    "...


    Gu mohan paused, then frowned slightly and said sincerely, "As long as you say it, I will believe it."


    Being trusted by gu mohan and pleading with him, Qin Baiye had no reason to back off, so he had no choice but to answer.


    But on the one hand, it was a girlfriend who really loved each other, and on the other, it was a brother who shared weal and woe. Qin Baiye had a very difficult choice.


    Although according to the way he took care of Mohan, he could test her without being detected by her, he felt that such behavior was disrespectful to her.


    So he didn''t intend to do that, but changed his mind.


    Didn''t gu mohan suspect su yanbai as well, just because there was no evidence? He could help gu Mohan find evidence!


    On the street, su yanbai, who had made an appointment with her friends to go to the bar, drove leisurely, humming the latest popular songs as if nothing were in her mouth, seemingly returning to the comfortable days of the former miss su.


    But just as she turned on her turn signal and was about to turn, she was suddenly stopped by a row of black cars in front of her.


    She opened the car window and yelled, "Hey! Are you blind? Can''t you see the green light in front of you? Wait for death?!"


    When she finished her sentence, the car door in front of her opened neatly and four men in black came down.


    "Who are you? What are you doing?"


    Seeing that the other party was full of people and strong men, su yanbai shrank, her voice not as loud as before.


    With a smile, Qin Baiye opened the door and got out of the car. He walked slowly towards su yanbai through the passageway that the bodyguards had given up.


    Su yanbai knew Qin Baiye, but the other party was always silent and serious, so they hardly spoke.


    Then why did he bring someone to stop her?


    Puzzled, su yanbai asked directly.


    Qin Baiye opened the door of her passenger car, lifted her leg and sat in, then said expressionless, "I asked, you answered, don''t talk nonsense."


    Heh! In broad daylight, he ignored the traffic laws and stopped a car on the street. How could he be so rude?!


    Who was su yanbai afraid of? Although he was a little more imposing, the su family was not easily bullied!


    So su yanbai replied angrily, "Dream! Get out of here, I''m in a good mood, maybe I''ll forgive you for this offense!"


    Qin Baiye, of course, was not afraid of her threats. Instead, he glanced at the bodyguard outside the car and reminded him, "Say it one last time. I''ll ask, and you answer. If you don''t, then this group of people outside may really'' offend'' you as you wish."


    His words were so profound that anyone who heard them knew they were not good words.


    Su yanbai was so angry that her head was about to smoke, but she was too weak to be a match for Qin Baiye, so she had to suppress her anger.


    "You ask!"


    Seeing her loosen her mouth, Qin Baiye sat upright and looked at her sideways, "In kindergarten, little treasure was stabbed by a needle. This has something to do with you, right?" !!!


    Su yanbai subconsciously turned to look at him, her eyes filled with surprise!


    How did he know about this? How could he suspect her?!


    Qin Baiye''s expression remained calm, as if no matter what her answer was, he had already decided that she was the one who did it.


    But in this matter, su yanbai was really innocent!


    She immediately denied it, "No! I never did it!"


    Qin Baiye raised his eyebrows and a slight smile appeared in his dark eyes, "You said you didn''t do it, so is it proof that you know about it?"


    Gu mohan was very strict in concealing the fact that little treasure was ill. Except for a few close people, almost no one knew everything. Even the people in kindergarten thought that little treasure was simply pricked by a needle.

 Chapter 461 Hongmen Banquet and Asking for Punishment

    So after Qin Baiye said that little treasure was stabbed by a needle, su yanbai immediately showed a panicked expression and tried to get rid of herself. Why?


    Frightened by Qin Baiye''s sharp gaze, su yanbai was so angry that she slammed the steering wheel and shouted, "I told you I didn''t. What are you still doing here? Get out, get out!"


    "Heh -"


    Qin Baiye put his arm outside the car window and sneered, "You said it, but you didn''t tell the truth. I want to hear the truth, or you won''t leave."


    "What are you going to do?!!"


    Su yanbai roared angrily, then took out her cell phone and tried to make a call, but Qin Baiye snatched it away.


    Qin Baiye played with the delicate lady''s phone. He swiped it on the screen, pressed three numbers, and raised it back in front of su yanbai.


    Looking at the "110" on the dialing keyboard, su yanbai shuddered and said in disbelief, "What are you doing?"


    Qin Baiye raised the corner of his mouth, his smiling face in stark contrast to the coldness in his eyes.


    "Aren''t you going to call for help? I can call the police for you as long as you agree."


    This incident, gu mohan has not reported to the police until now, because he did not want to expose little treasure''s illness, which indirectly led to the difficulty of investigating the truth.


    But if it was really the last resort, once the police report, then the real culprit would probably be found, and by then, bai zixuan and su yanbai and others would also be involved, so now the person who is afraid of calling the police is not Qin Baiye who is blocking people in the street, but su yanbai himself.


    It seemed that Qin Baiye would not give up until he got the answer this time. Su yanbai bit her lip and said angrily, "Okay! Let me tell you! I really have nothing to do with this. It was... It was ye yiyu who did it."


    Ye yi language?


    Qin Baiye leaned back slowly and looked at the pedestrians in the distance, unsure whether he believed it or not.


    The atmosphere was stalemate for a long time, and su yanbai couldn''t wait any longer, "I didn''t lie to you this time. If you and gu mohan want revenge, go to ye yiyu as soon as possible. Don''t bother me!"


    Qin Baiye glanced at her sideways, his face still pale.


    Then, he sat up straight and waved his hand out of the window. Then he turned to su yanbai and said, "It''s too hot outside. Let''s go to miss su''s house and continue our conversation."


    "To my house? Why did you go to my house?! No way! Get out of here!!"


    Su yanbai was shocked and struggled to push Qin Baiye out of the car.


    Her father might still be at home right now. The engagement party had already caused her to be scolded by her father. If she brought Qin Baiye home this time and involved little treasure, she might be kicked out of the house!


    However, Qin Baiye was a man with several bodyguards beside him. Su yanbai was no match for him. Soon, she was pinned down in the back seat by the bodyguards and was forced to drive in the direction of the su family.


    As soon as su yanbai was taken away by Qin Baiye, yi shaozhi, who was driving out to look for her, arrived at the intersection where they had just parked.


    Today, su yanbai and his friends did not invite yi shaozhi to the party. Yi shaozhi followed him voluntarily when he heard the news, but he arrived early for a long time without seeing su yanbai''s shadow. Later, he heard that the people who arrived later said that they had seen su yanbai''s car at this intersection, surrounded by several black cars and a man dressed in black.


    Yi shaozhi felt that something was wrong and rushed over immediately.


    He had just driven to the intersection, and before he could stop, he saw a string of black cars in front of him slowly walking away. Without thinking about it, he stepped on the accelerator and followed them.


    ...


    A few days later, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were called back to the mansion.


    This time, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao entered the house without any servants to greet them, and no one took the initiative to greet them and send their slippers. Only the father and mother, who were pulling faces on the sofa in the living room, were waiting for them.


    The reason was not hard to guess.


    After the last conversation in the study, father gu contacted ye zhiqiao a few times and asked her how she had persuaded gu mohan.


    Gu Mohan, on the other hand, insisted on his own ideas and did not cooperate with the relative.


    So if the last invitation was a "Hongmen banquet," then this time it was "Asking for punishment."


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked at each other, then they greeted their parents together.


    Father gu grunted and said nothing.


    Mother gu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "We are not good. We are not your parents, uncles and aunts. Anyway, you don''t take us seriously. Why pretend?"


    The last time he asked someone to do something, he had a look on his face. Now that he was rejected, he immediately changed his face. Gu mohan deeply felt pity for his parents, because if they were to become actors, they would definitely earn more than they do now.


    Since they did not want to maintain a semblance of harmony, everyone simply spoke up!


    Gu mohan pulled ye zhiqiao to sit down and added tea to himself. Then he put his long legs on the other one and casually said while drinking tea, "Parents will always be parents. This will not change. It''s just that you two can control your own life."


    The implication is that if you are willing to cause trouble for yourself, then you can''t blame anyone else!


    Father gu''s eyelids jumped and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Do you think it''s my fault or your mother''s?"


    "How can parents be wrong?"


    Gu mohan quickly waved his hand and then said, "If there is, I will also help the two elders to nip their mistakes in the bud."


    Just like this cooperation.


    "All right, you should stop fooling us with the twists and turns in the mall!" Mother gu stamped her foot and asked angrily, "What did we do wrong? Huh?! Are we wrong to help you? Like all the mistakes you made before, which time wasn''t your father, an old man over half a century old, taking care of it for you? Now that you don''t need us, just say we''re wrong? How heartless!"


    Speaking of which, gu mohan was not in the mood to continue tai chi with them. That''s right, in the past, when the company encountered problems, gu father did help many times, which made gu mohan very grateful and feel guilty.


    This time, however, it was different. The relative of the gu family, who had no chance of striking out suddenly, was simply a bag of rice and wine. He had made some money through some shady means. Now he had to talk about cooperation with the gu family.


    Gu mohan scowled and said slowly in a bad tone, "If I really work with him, then the gu family will go bankrupt soon. Even if my father is powerful and has the art of resurrection, by then, the gu family will definitely not be able to recover from today''s situation."

 Chapter 462 Go to America to See Little Treasure

    "Stop exaggerating!"


    Father gu stood up and pointed at him with trembling hands. "It''s just a small project with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested. You can take it out without reporting to the board. How can you go bankrupt?!"


    Gu mohan also stood up and stared at his father, "It''s not about money, it''s about reputation! How did that man make his fortune? Reselling and smuggling!"


    Thousands of miles of levees were destroyed by ants, which was a proverb learned in elementary school.


    It''s true that the gu family is a big business, but the more this is done, the more careful you have to be. If you make a wrong move, the price you pay for it will be thousands of times!


    Father and mother gu helped each other speak, and they naturally understood the joints. However, they thought that this was not a big risk, so they wanted gu mohan to turn a blind eye to cooperate. After all, the benefits were very objective, low cost and high return. Why not?


    However, he did not want gu mohan to be so conformist. He repeatedly rejected the other party and threatened to report it to the police if he continued to pester her.


    Father gu was embarrassed, and he was very upset. He pretended to be confused and said, "What are you talking about?! Have you ever known how to splash dirty water on someone?!"


    The mention of "Splashing dirty water" reminded father gu of another thing.


    A few days ago, Qin Baiye took su yanbai to the su family''s house and told them that su yanbai had planned to hurt gu mohan''s daughter, xiao bao. At that time, the su family was turned upside down. Not long after that, father su called to ask the gu family for an explanation.


    At that time, gu father and gu mother did not know the whole story at all. Seeing their friendship in the past, they apologized to su father. Today happened to be the right time to explain the two things together!


    "And that incident with su yanbai! Didn''t you say that little treasure''s old illness had relapsed? Why was it su yanbai who framed him in the blink of an eye? Which of your words was true and which was false?!!"


    Father gu held back his anger and fell back on the sofa after shouting.


    Seeing this, mother gu rushed forward and patted him on the chest to help ease his breathing. Ye zhiqiao also wanted to go over, but was pushed away by mother gu.


    Gu mohan quickly held ye zhiqiao, who almost fell, and began to think quickly about the countermeasures.


    It was absolutely impossible to cooperate with the relatives of the gu family. Presumably, the gu parents did not hold any hope, but su yanbai... He did not know how much the gu parents knew about it, so it might be counterproductive to say so.


    So he replied perfunctorily, "It''s impossible to work with relatives like that. Su yanbai and xiao bao don''t have to worry about anything. Just stay at home and enjoy your life. I''ll take care of the rest."


    Father gu''s breathing was uneven, but he still jumped his eyelids and glared at him, "What are you going to do? Continue to smear others? Let me tell you, whether it''s a relative of the gu family or su yanbai, you''d better not go overboard. You''re going to jail for spreading rumors and framing others!"


    False accusations?


    Ah, whether it''s a lie or a fact, the truth will come out sooner or later!


    "These things will not end easily,"


    Gu mohan left these words behind, then pulled ye zhiqiao up and left the gu family mansion.


    This matter would not end easily, for gu Mohan and su yanbai.


    That day, she exposed ye yiyu to Qin Baiye, but qin baiye did not believe her and even let her take the blame for ye yiyu in front of her family. She would never let it go!


    Thus, when bai zixuan once again proposed the cooperation of the three, she hesitated for a moment and agreed.


    She had to get close to ye yiyu so that she could find a chance to harm her!


    This time, ye yiyu was out of the ordinary and agreed to bai zixuan''s invitation. Both bai zixuan and su yanbai found it strange. Only ye yiyu knew the reason.


    Because this time su yanbai took the blame for her, she suddenly realized that it was good to be the big boss behind her. Someone else was responsible for the accident, and the results were all her own.


    Since she had this choice, why would she fight alone and risk herself?


    In this way, su yanbai and ye yiyu each had their own thoughts and finally began to cooperate again.


    "Hi, little treasure, have you gained weight recently? Why do you look so cute?"


    Ye zhiqiao leaned close to the screen and stared at the little girl with the tender flour in her eyes.


    The opposite little treasure shook his head in front of the camera and said cheerfully, "It seems like he''s a little fat. The doctor''s uncle weighed me and said I was heavy... Uh..."


    She fiddled with her short, fat fingers for a long time and could not tell how much weight she had gained. Instead, a doctor walked past her and made a "Big fat" gesture to describe how much weight she had gained.


    Ye zhi coincidentally covered her stomach and laughed for a long time. It was not until little treasure gradually pursed her mouth that she stopped laughing and said, "It''s better to be fat. I like little treasure''s chubby appearance the most. It''s so cute!"


    "Really?"


    Little treasure didn''t believe it, but then he said, "If aunt ye and father were here, little treasure would definitely be fatter."


    She knew that both her father and aunt ye were busy, so she was sensible enough not to ask them anything.


    But a five-year-old child, who was in a foreign country, longed for his family to be with him even though he was sensible.


    Ye zhiqiao saw the disappointment and sadness in xiao bao''s eyes, so after the video call ended, she discussed this with gu mohan who had returned home from work.


    "Mohan, I was on the phone with little treasure today. Her condition has improved a lot. She''s basically stabilized. The rest is some follow-up treatment."


    Ye zhiqiao first reported to gu mohan about little treasure''s physical condition, then ate a mouthful of rice and pretended to ask casually, "Have you been busy with work lately? How about we go and see her?"


    How could gu''s work not be busy? As a sales manager, she was always busy at the back of her head. As the president of the company, gu mohan, who was also in charge of several branches, must be even more worried.


    She was very considerate of gu mohan, but she did feel sorry for little treasure.


    Gu mohan lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. Then he put down his chopsticks and held her hand on the table, "Okay, then let''s go."


    "!"


    Ye zhiqiao did not expect him to agree so quickly. Even she had already thought that if gu mohan really couldn''t get away, she could go alone.


    But gu mohan actually agreed!


    "In your company... Is it okay?" She asked back uncertainly.


    Gu mohan gave a comforting smile, "Little treasure is the most important thing. You can''t let her go. So can I."

 Chapter 463 Chance Encounter

    The two of them decided to visit little treasure. That night, they decided on their itinerary and plane ticket. The next day, they boarded the plane at noon.


    However, they did not want to meet a "Friend" who they did not really want to see in the first class.


    "President gu, miss shen!"


    It was not a small greeting, but it was especially warm, as if it still brought with it the joy of meeting a stranger.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked over together and saw shen Qingyuan, who was in high spirits, coming from behind and sitting down again in an empty seat across the aisle.


    Gu mohan nodded slightly, obviously not responding to him. Ye zhiqiao nodded politely and didn''t say anything.


    Shen Qingyuan, on the other hand, was not embarrassed at all. He continued to look for words with a smile, "Are you two going on a trip? It''s a good choice to go to america this season."


    "Thank you for your advice, president shen." Gu mohan said perfunctorily.


    Shen Qingyuan laughed dryly, "But for someone like president gu, there must be a lot of trips abroad. There shouldn''t be any more amazing scenery for you, right?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally turned to look out the window with a stifled smile, thinking that this flattery was really fierce!


    Gu mohan was still too lazy to talk to him, and only uttered a seemingly "Yes."


    Being left out in the cold, shen Qingyuan did not give up and continued to curry favor with him, "Shen mou is not talented. One of his hobbies is traveling. When he was young, he wanted to travel around the world. Now that he is old, he can''t walk. However, if there is always a need, I would like to sum up my previous experience to help him move forward smoothly and avoid those stones that hurt his feet."


    These words, the first half of the sentence refers to travel, the second half of the sentence, the meaning is much deeper.


    Gu mohan knew that shen Qingyuan had never given up and wanted to cooperate with him, but although he recognized shen Qingyuan''s ability in some ways, he still did not intend to cooperate with him. After all, the current gu family does not need the help of small people like shen Qingyuan.


    "Experience is better accumulated by oneself, so it won''t bother president shen."


    Gu mohan also answered him with a pun, then closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair for a nap. After that, shen qing''s words were ignored by him.


    After talking to himself for a long time and seeing that gu Mohan had no reaction at all, shen Qingyuan finally couldn''t stand up and prepared to return to his seat.


    However, he was not discouraged, because before he left, he was confident that he would continue to struggle. Sooner or later, gu mohan would need him!


    After a small interlude on the plane, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao finally landed at five in the morning in the united states.


    Originally, he thought shen Qingyuan would continue to pester him, but this time he turned around and left with a knowing goodbye.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao both relaxed a lot. They stopped a taxi and went straight to the hospital where little treasure was.


    Little treasure was in a daze, and when he heard movement in the room, he opened his eyes and saw gu mohan and ye zhiqiao. He was so scared that he didn''t dare to move. He thought he was still dreaming!


    Ye zhiqiao''s tears flowed out at once. She went forward and took little treasure into her arms. She choked and said, "Little treasure, aunt ye and father are here to see you... Aunt ye misses you very much..."


    Hearing ye zhiqiao''s voice close to his ear, little treasure finally stopped doubting the authenticity of everything in front of him and started to cry loudly!


    "Ye... Auntie ye... Little treasure misses ye ah... Auntie ye and father... I miss you so much..."


    During this period of time, by the side of all the uncles and aunts, little treasure was very obedient and sensible. He would try his best to endure the occasional pain during treatment and never cry. But after seeing his father and auntie ye, the tears fell uncontrollably like a flood that had opened the gate.


    The two of them hugged and cried for a long time, and then the fat nurse came to the ward and was shocked.


    Seeing the tall and strong white nurse jumping up, xiao bao finally broke into tears and smiled, then pulled ye zhiqiao to introduce them. The white nurse nodded in understanding, indicating that she had thought she was in the wrong ward when she first came in.


    Then, the nurse briefed gu mohan and ye zhiqiao on the current situation of little treasure.


    It probably meant that little treasure''s treatment was very good, even better than expected, and he was currently in the transition stage, and would soon start the next stage of treatment.


    Hearing the news, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao finally felt at ease.


    Especially ye zhiqiao, since little treasure got sick, she had hardly ever laughed from her heart, and even cried out unconsciously in the middle of the night. At this time, her mood was somewhat improved.


    A big morning passed, crying and laughing. It was not until the nanny came to deliver the food that ye zhiqiao realized it was already nine o'' clock.


    Just now, I heard from little treasure that yi chen came to the hospital almost every day to monitor her life and physical condition. Ye zhiqiao thought that she should thank yi chen well, so she called yi chen while little treasure was eating.


    Yi chen should be eating too. When he received a phone call from the hospital, he asked vaguely, "Is little treasure looking for me?"


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled and cleared her throat. "It''s not little treasure, it''s me, ye zhiqiao."


    Ye zhiqiao? Ye zhiqiao!!


    Yi chen took off his cell phone and quickly looked at the display on it, then quickly put the receiver to his ear and said in disbelief, "This is a hospital phone. How do you use this? It can''t be... You''re here in the united states?!"


    "Uh-huh!" Ye zhiqiao agreed mischievously, and then said seriously, "I have heard little treasure praise you, so I specially called to thank you, you..."


    "Wait, wait, wait! Don''t say it first!"


    Yi chen stopped her and pleaded, "Since you''re here, then give me a chance to treat you to dinner."


    Then, as if afraid that ye zhiqiao would not agree, he added, "Just think of it as you thanking me!"


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help laughing again. How could this happen? She was the one thanking yi chen, but he begged to treat her to dinner.


    But she finally agreed.


    Yi chen put down his cell phone, looking as happy as if he had eaten sugar, with a sweet face.


    Sitting across from him, shen mosheng''s face had already darkened, and he reminded him angrily, "Hey, I haven''t finished eating yet. Besides, we agreed to go out together later. What''s the matter with you leaving your girlfriend to accompany other women?"


    The smile on yi chen''s face disappeared after her words.


    She had to drag him over for dinner early this morning, and had planned a day of entertainment, as if he would really play with her.


    He had no intention of agreeing. If she hadn''t threatened him with the photo, he wouldn''t have eaten breakfast with her!

 Chapter 464 There Was Disagreement

    Shen mo long was still tugging at her face and chattering endlessly. Yi chen had already got up and left the restaurant as if nothing had happened.


    Shen molong was about to go after her, but shen Qingyuan''s call suddenly came at this time.


    Half an hour later, shen Qingyuan walked into the restaurant, looked around, and then sat opposite shen monong, who was waving at him.


    "Breakfast alone?" Shen Qingyuan unbuttoned his suit and sat down, asking casually.


    Shen mo nong was not in the mood to pick a vegetable and put it into his mouth. He shook his neck and said, "No, yi chen was there just now."


    "Oh?!"


    Shen Qingyuan''s face lit up with interest when he heard that yi chen had been here.


    The rumor between shen monong and yi chen had been spreading all over the country, but shen Qingyuan was not sure whether the news was the truth or shen monong had lied unilaterally.


    After all, yi chen still had some understanding of ye zhiqiao''s feelings.


    "It''s true." Shen mo nong grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth and began to report to shen Qingyuan, "I''ve been with yi chen for several days, and we''ve been to banquets and conferences together... In short, I should be able to tie him tightly in the future."


    Yi chen is the second son of the Yi''s group. Although he is not as good as gu mohan in many aspects, he is still much stronger than the general xiaokai. Shen Qingyuan naturally agrees with shen monong''s choice, but yi chen, how can he take a liking to shen monong?


    Yi chen has seen countless beautiful women. According to common sense, shen monong''s beauty should be nothing but vulgar powder in his eyes.


    Shen Qingyuan didn''t understand why shen mo long was so confident, so he asked, "Can you guarantee that he won''t lose interest in you for a long time?"


    Oh, losing interest?


    Shen mo chuckled and said slowly, "Only when you are interested will you lose interest. He has no interest in me at all, so naturally, it is not lost."


    Seeing that shen Qingyuan was even more confused, shen mo nong then took out a usb drive from his handbag, held it in his hand and explained, "I have something on him. If he doesn''t want to lose ye zhiqiao forever, then he can never leave me unless one day, I''m tired of playing."


    Shen Qingyuan immediately understood what the real body was when he used it to threaten people.


    "Well, you are indeed my daughter of shen Qingyuan. Mo nong, you have grown up so fast these days."


    Having been oppressed for a long time and eager to soar into the sky, it had already caused this father and daughter''s outlook on life to be deformed. Shen mosheng was proud of his own practice, and shen Qingyuan was very pleased with it.


    Shen mo nong smiled modestly, "Daddy taught them well."


    "Well, dad is old, and I will always count on you."


    Shen Qingyuan picked up his coffee and brought it to his mouth. He suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, guess who I saw on the plane when I came here?"


    A plane to the united states? Business partner?


    Shen monong shook his head, unable to guess.


    Shen Qingyuan curled his lips and said, "Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao."


    Shen mo nong was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to one side and leaned back in his chair with his arms in his arms.


    She should have thought that ye zhi coincidentally came to the united states, how could gu mohan not be willing to come with her?


    If it wasn''t for ye zhiqiao''s call just now, she would still be sitting quietly with yi chen for breakfast, then go out for a day to play, and then "Accidentally" get a picture of the paparazzi, and her heat would quickly increase by a lot!


    Shen Qingyuan saw that shen monong''s reaction was not good and seemed to reject the two people, but he still wanted to say what he should say.


    Although shen mo was now on the verge of becoming an easygoing person, it was not a long-term solution. In his opinion, only working with the gu family was the perfect choice.


    So he comforted shen monong and said, "I know you''ve been rejected by gu mohan too many times, and I''m sure you''re not feeling well, but look at dad. I''ve been stuck with him for three days and two. But it doesn''t matter. As long as we have results, we have to endure whatever we go through."


    "What are you trying to say?!"


    Shen Qingyuan tried his best to do the ideological work for shen monong, but shen monong was not in the mood to listen.


    Shen Qingyuan took a deep breath and said, "I want to tell you that after you set your goal, you have to stick to it, whether it''s your pursuit of gu mohan or my willingness to cooperate with the gu family. Now that su yanbai is no longer a threat to you, only ye zhiqiao is left. Gu mohan hasn''t married her yet. I don''t think their relationship can be that deep, so..."


    "You say they don''t have deep feelings?" Shen mo nong chuckled and then mocked himself, "I used to think so, but what happened? Has there been another woman around gu mohan for so long?"


    "Mo nong, you have to put your attitude right."


    "I can''t correct it. Now I feel sick hearing their names!"


    Shen Qingyuan was determined to persuade shen mo nong to continue his attack on gu Mohan, but shen mo nong did not want to humiliate himself because of gu mo han''s rejection, su yan bai''s threat and other factors.


    This was the first time that the two father and daughter had a disagreement on how to handle something. After the argument, the scene was once awkward.


    "Okay, dad, I still have something to do, so I''ll go first."


    There was a long silence. Shen mocheng picked up his bag and paid the bill, then walked out of the restaurant quickly on the phone.


    On the other end of the phone was the paparazzi she had been using recently.


    "Follow yi chen. Take a picture of who he''s eating with later."


    Hmph, didn''t you guys make me feel better? Then don''t even think about it!


    In the ward, ye zhiqiao packed up the leftover breakfast that little treasure had eaten, and then prepared to go out for an appointment with yi chen.


    Gu mohan happened to come back with little treasure''s examination report. Seeing ye zhiqiao put on her coat, he asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk? My car has been delivered. I can take you there."


    Ye zhiqiao hurriedly waved her hand, "No need, it''s a meal with yi chen. He''s been taking care of little treasure for a while. I want to thank him."


    Eating with yi chen, must be eating alone?


    Hearing this name, the smile on gu mohan''s face immediately disappeared a lot. Thinking that ye zhiqiao was going to meet yi chen alone, his heart was a little awkward.


    But he also heard from the nurses that when they didn''t come, yi chen came to see xiao bao almost every day and took good care of him. At first, the doctors here thought yi chen was xiao bao''s father.


    In that case, he seems to have no reason to oppose ye zhiqiao to do so. On the contrary, if he has time, he should thank yi chen.


    So he suppressed the jealousy, patted ye zhiqiao on the shoulder and said, "Thank him for me too, and remember to go early and come back early. We won''t be here for long. Little treasure will definitely want you to accompany her more."

 Chapter 465 The Lion Opened His Mouth Wide

    "I will. I''ll be right back after dinner."


    Ye zhiqiao was very happy that gu mohan was able to focus on the overall situation. She smiled brightly and waved at little treasure, promising to bring back delicious food.


    Yi chen arrived earlier than they had agreed. He ordered a lot of delicious dishes that he had tasted before, and then tidied up his appearance for a long time in front of the glass window. Then ye zhiqiao arrived on time.


    "Sit down."


    He got up and pulled out the chair for ye zhiqiao. After ye zhiqiao sat down, he returned to his seat and informed the waiter to serve.


    "I wanted to show you some local specialties, but when I thought about it, you didn''t seem to like western food, so I decided to stay at this chinese restaurant." Yi chen pointed to the screen behind her and introduced, "It''s said to be an antique screen that was auctioned back. The owner used it to be the treasure of the town store."


    The overall decoration of this shop is to follow the characteristics of ancient china. Wooden tables, chairs, and paintings of beautiful women have already made people feel more intimate, and this screen is even more eye-catching.


    Ye zhiqiao sincerely praised yi chen''s eyes.


    "No, no, I was introduced by a friend."


    When the dishes were ready, yi chen asked ye zhiqiao what kind of drink she wanted to drink and got up to add tea to her.


    However, they did not know that the scenes of their conversation were all taken into the extended slr lens of a big tree outside the restaurant.


    After a night of editing, the next morning, the photos were posted on the website, and at the same time, there was shen monong''s "Tearful" complaint.


    Using her company account, she claimed that her boyfriend, yi chen, had abandoned her and cheated on another woman named ye zhiqiao. She also said that ye zhiqiao had actively seduced yi chen while she was in love with yi chen.


    At the same time, she posted the false news that ye zhiqiao had seduced gu mohan and that gu mohan and su yanbai had failed to get engaged online to prove that ye zhiqiao had already shown signs of bad conduct, and this time, it was just a repeat of the old trick.


    For a moment, the internet created a storm.


    Shen mo nong''s popularity has been high recently, and his relationship with yi chen has been on the cusp of the storm. However, just a few days after their relationship was settled, the news of yi chen''s infidelity came out, and the photos proved it. Netizens would naturally listen to shen mo nong and his team''s encouragement and recognize ye zhiqiao as a third child.


    At this time, ye zhiqiao was in the united states, and people outside the country were not familiar with shen monong, so ye zhiqiao was not attacked for the time being, but from the attitude of domestic netizens, if this matter could not be clarified in time, then when ye zhiqiao returned home, it would probably lead to a very serious personal attack.


    Ye zhiqiao, who had experienced a few times of online violence before, knew that it was scary, so this time she decided not to let it go, but to actively find yi chen and ask yi chen to take her to see shen monong.


    Obviously, this online incident was deliberately provoked by shen mo nong. Although it was not clear why shen mo nong did this, ye zhiqiao believed that since shen mo nong had the ability to provoke this matter, he must have the ability to calm it down.


    Yi chen originally planned to go to shen mo long alone to negotiate, but he couldn''t stand ye zhiqiao''s request, so he had to take her with him.


    When shen molong opened the door and saw the two of them appear together, she was slightly surprised.


    She pretended to cover her mouth and said with a smile, "Wow, you guys are really brave. Aren''t you afraid of being discovered by the paparazzi? Or do you think it''s safe to stay abroad for the time being? Then when you return home, you will probably suffer."


    Yi chen was too lazy to pay attention to her sarcasm and walked directly into the room with ye zhiqiao.


    Shen monong smiled evilly and closed the door to follow him.


    Sitting on the sofa, yi chen came straight to the point.


    "Get rid of the news. If there''s anything wrong, let''s spread it out. Don''t play dirty behind your back."


    Shen mo nong seemed to have expected this attitude from him, "I didn''t want to, but you two are too angry. My real girlfriend is still here. You guys went out on a date openly."


    "You know very well whether we are dating or not."


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to hear any more of her nonsense. Little treasure was still in the hospital. She just wanted to spend the next few days with little treasure and didn''t want any trouble.


    Shen mo nong coldly glanced at ye zhiqiao, then continued to say to yi chen as if he didn''t hear her, "My boyfriend, do you want me to forgive you for cheating on me? Then you have to do something to show me your sincerity."


    Yi chen looked up at her and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"


    It turned out that there was a need for such a big show!


    Shen molong pretended to think for a while, then puffed up his mouth and said, "After we got together, you never seem to have given me a gift, right? Or you can make up for all the gifts you owe me this time and pay me... Hmm... Three million is enough."


    Three million?!


    Yi chen and ye zhiqiao were both stunned.


    They thought that shen mo nong might ask for money, but they didn''t expect her to ask for so much!


    Naturally, yi chen could take out the money, but this was originally shen mo long deliberately designed them, in the end, they have to compensate shen mo long so much money, how can this make sense?


    Ye zhiqiao felt that shen monong was deliberately embarrassed, so she coldly warned him, "You will die if you do anything wrong. It''s not easy for you to get to this stage, so you should be more careful and cherish it. If you don''t repent, sooner or later, you will lose your reputation. At that time, you will regret it too late."


    This kind of persuasion, shen mo thick ears almost recognize the calluses, but in her past experience, kindness often does not persecute others, to harm others first, in order to strengthen herself.


    Yi chen saw shen mo nong''s contemptuous face and did not take ye zhiqiao''s words to heart. He also opened his mouth and advised, "You hurt us, but we are helping you now. And those people who helped you with the fake news will probably not even give you a bite of food after you fall from the altar."


    "Come on! Aren''t you trying to save the three million dollars by working together to persuade me? Don''t treat me like a fool!"


    Shen mosheng did not want to listen anymore. He took out a usb drive from his pocket and casually put it in his hand to play with it. However, it blocked yi chen''s next words to help ye zhiqiao.


    Because the usb drive was nothing to ye zhiqiao, he was very clear that the photos of him and shen monong were stored in it. If he said one more sentence that shen mo was not fond of listening to, the photos inside would probably appear in front of ye zhiqiao!


    He dared not take such a risk.


    Seeing that yi chen was finally quiet, shen mocheng smiled smugly at the confused ye zhiqiao, then crossed his legs and yawned.

 Chapter 466 Yichen Compromise

    "I''m sleepy. Should I buy an explanation to the media for three million dollars or continue to live with my tail between its legs under the fire of enthusiastic netizens, you should hurry up and choose. I''m going to take a nap soon."


    Yi chen''s fist on his thigh tightened and loosened. After so many times, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to admit defeat.


    "Money... I''ll call your card as soon as I get back to the office. It won''t be longer than tonight, so one day tomorrow, clean up the internet for me!"


    "Yichen!"


    Ye zhiqiao called his name and tried to stop him. Three million was not a small amount. There was no need to waste it like this.


    Yi chen shook his head at her and motioned for her to leave him alone.


    Shen mo nong''s eyes moved around the two of them, then he sneered and said, "It''s really a married couple. I''m almost touched. But in front of my girlfriend, you should restrain yourself, okay?"


    He was a good boy when he got a bargain!


    Yi chen stood up angrily, his tone full of warning: "Shen monong, don''t go too far!"


    "Heh -" shen moshen stood up with two fingers holding the usb drive, staring back, "Yichen, you better take care of yourself first!"


    Holding the handle in others'' hands, yi chen had no confidence no matter what he said or did.


    He simply called ye zhiqiao and went around shen monong to leave.


    Shen monong did not stop them, but behind their back, he was very happy to remind them: "You must call the money as soon as possible, oh, I will be back in a few days, the international transfer is a lot of fees, you will still have to pay!"


    After leaving the hotel, yi chen finally didn''t have to listen to shen mo nong''s disgusting voice, and he didn''t have to be constantly wary that she would take out a usb drive to threaten him. Yi chen took a deep breath and felt comfortable.


    "Thank you."


    Ye zhiqiao stood beside him, lowering her head and fiddling with her backpack, her voice full of uneasiness.


    It was clearly her own business, but let yi chen spend so much money for her, she was really sorry, but for a moment, she could not afford to pay back three million.


    Yi chen asked helplessly, "Why are you thanking me? I''m just trying to help myself."


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at him and didn''t believe him at all, "You won''t be talking about that anymore. It''s all to help me. When I come back to china, I''ll draw some design drawings and think of a way. I''ll definitely get enough money to return to you."


    Yi chen almost jumped up when he heard that ye zhi qiao was going to return the money.


    "Why are you paying me back? I said I was doing it for myself. I''m running the company now, and my reputation is very important. Besides, the paparazzi got those pictures because of me."


    Yi chen scratched his hair, his face full of frustration.


    If he hadn''t insisted on inviting ye zhiqiao to dinner, if he hadn''t neglected shen monong because of this, perhaps none of this would have happened.


    And perhaps, gu mohan will misunderstand ye zhiqiao because of this matter. Even if he doesn''t show it, he should still feel uncomfortable.


    In fact, he had wanted to apologize to ye zhiqiao for a long time, but he couldn''t bring himself down.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at him for a long time and saw that his face was getting redder and redder, and his brows were heavy. She realized that he was not simply talking.


    "I don''t blame you."


    Ye zhiqiao said calmly.


    She and yi chen were right about this, there was no need to blame each other.


    Yi chen''s eyes lit up, "Really?"


    Ye zhiqiao nodded with a serious expression.


    "Hehe... That''s great." Yi chen patted the back of his head and giggled a few times, as if he had gained the whole world with ye zhiqiao''s understanding.


    Little did they know that the Yi family was having a family meeting on his behalf.


    "You really can''t go on stage!"


    Father yi threw the photo he had printed on the internet to the ground and said angrily, "How long has he been quiet? How did he change back to his original virtue when he went to america?! I thought he had changed his mind, but he turned around and got into a relationship with a female star!!"


    If playing with a female star without any harm to both parties, it would be okay to get together and break up after playing enough, but how could their Yi family face such a big negative news?!


    Yi shaozhi glanced at the photo on the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "It''s ye zhiqiao again."


    "That''s right!"


    Father yi slammed the table.


    Mentioning this ye zhi coincidentally made him even angrier. Because yi chen had already lost several people to propose to this woman, he did not expect that yi chen would hide in the united states and this woman could actually catch up with him!


    Think of him as a Yi family man for generations, but to yi chen here, it was destroyed in the hands of women!


    "Dad, calm down. I''ll figure something out." Yi shaozhi helped Father yi sit down and ordered the servants to serve tea.


    Father yi sighed deeply and snorted coldly, "What''s the use of solving it? Without these two women, there will soon be another two. Can you keep following yi chen behind to clean up his mess?!"


    From junior high school, yi chen had been entangled in peach blossoms. Later, he became more and more excessive, and there were accidents of all sizes. When the noise became big, yi shaozhi would come out to solve the problem for him. Over time, he developed this reckless attitude.


    Father yi also complained about yi shaozhi, thinking that he doted on his younger brother, which made yi chen like this.


    "This..."


    Yi shaoyi choked, then explained to yi chen, "Actually, xiao chen has been much more peaceful during this period of time. If ye zhiqiao hadn''t found america, there wouldn''t have been such a mess. I think the reason is still ye zhiqiao."


    "Hmph!" Father yi snorted and did not answer.


    Yi shaozhi understood that his father agreed with his idea, so he continued, "Recently I will find time to talk to ye zhiqiao and shen monong. They are not the daughters of any big family. If you threaten them, they will definitely hide far away."


    Father yi stood up, patted his lapel, and walked upstairs with his hands behind his back. Only when he reached the last step did he say angrily, "This is the best!"


    A few days later, at the american airport.


    It was time for gu mohan and ye zhiqiao to return home. Early in the morning, in the sound of little treasure crying, the two of them left the hospital reluctantly until they sat in the departure hall, and ye zhiqiao''s eyes were still red.


    Gu mohan leaned over to comfort her, "Don''t feel bad. According to the attending doctor, little treasure will be back soon. Let''s go first. We can also prepare for her in advance, isn''t it just right?"


    "What are you preparing? I haven''t touched anything at home. I clean it myself every day. There''s nothing to prepare!"


    Ye zhiqiao did not take care of Mohan''s feelings. She shook off his hand and wiped her tears alone.

 Chapter 467 Sensational News

    "President gu, miss ye, what a coincidence, what a coincidence!"


    The familiar greeting emphasis came from not far away, and ye zhiqiao quickly dried her tears and looked up with gu mohan.


    Shen Qingyuan was walking this way with a briefcase in his hand and a smile on his face.


    When I came here, I met her again when I went back. What kind of fate is this?


    Gu mohan stood up helplessly and offered his hand to shen Qingyuan, "President shen, are you on this flight too?"


    When he arrived on the plane, the space was too small and inconvenient to save some red tape, but when he met him in the departure hall and the other party greeted him so warmly, he had no reason to ignore it again.


    "Yes, yes, that''s why we are destined!"


    Shen Qingyuan flattered him, nodded to ye zhiqiao and sat down next to gu mohan.


    "President gu, how was your trip? Did you have a good time?"


    Shen Qingyuan didn''t seem to know about little treasure''s treatment in the united states, so gu mohan took the opportunity to answer, "It''s okay, but time is tight, and neither zhiqiao nor I can enjoy it."


    Ye zhiqiao''s red and swollen eyes could not be hidden. He was afraid that shen Qingyuan would see the clue, so he acted as if ye zhiqiao did not have fun and lost his temper because of his business.


    Shen Qingyuan glanced at ye zhiqiao and nodded with a smile, "Yes, president gu is busy with work. Miss ye may have to take some grievances."


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly and did not answer.


    Shen Qingyuan continued, "By the way, president gu, there is something I planned to meet you after returning to china. Since we are destined to meet here, I will simply say it first."


    Shen Qingyuan never had any new ideas. He always talked about cooperation. Gu mohan understood his habit and raised his hand with no interest to signal him to speak.


    "I heard that gu''s new project is looking for an investment. Shen is not talented. I wonder if you have the honor to work with president gu."


    "President shen wants to invest?"


    Gu mohan frowned slightly and said in confusion, "As far as I know, five million Shen shi investments have been added to this project. Why do you still want..."


    "No, no, no." Shen Qingyuan interrupted him, "It''s not the Shen shi. It''s in my own name."


    Hearing this, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked at each other in disbelief.


    Shen Qingyuan''s reputation as a "Back-stabber" and a "Henpecked husband" had long since spread. Even if he wanted to invest, could he afford it?


    Gu mohan coughed softly and gently reminded him, "President shen, since you have already invested a part of your company, you can completely invest in the original funds. This amount of flexibility is also greater. If you re-invest, the starting amount can be at least one million."


    The implication was that with shen Qingyuan''s current capabilities, he could not produce the 1 million yuan in liquidity without relying on the company.


    Shen Qingyuan understood what he meant and waved his hand confidently, "President gu''s good intentions are clear to shen mou, but you can rest assured that shen mou is prepared to invest three million yuan. He can definitely use his own name."


    Three million?!


    This number is a little familiar... Shen mo''s threat to yi chen was three million!


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao both chuckled and guessed the joints.


    It was probably shen monong who had worked so hard to extort three million yuan from yi chen and then was asked by shen Qingyuan to make an investment. The father and daughter were really shameless.


    In the end, however, this was an internal matter of the shen family and had nothing to do with gu mohan, so gu mohan did not care about the origin of the money. Since shen Qingyuan wanted to invest, he should.


    Compared to shen Qingyuan''s smug smile, gu mohan seemed unconcerned, "President shen likes it, of course."


    "Then... Wish us a happy cooperation, president gu?" Shen Qingyuan reached out his hand again.


    Gu mohan raised his hand, "Happy cooperation."


    Outside the huge glass windows of the terminal, the rising sun of the united states was slowly rising above the horizon, pulling the time to dawn, and after 13 hours of flying across the pacific ocean, it was also the sunrise of china.


    As soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from jian mengqi.


    It turned out that when ye zhiqiao returned home, lazy jian mengqi didn''t even sleep in. She got up before dawn and bought vegetables and meat, waiting for ye zhiqiao to go back to eat hotpot together.


    Thinking of gu mohan''s attitude towards jian mengqi before going abroad, ye zhiqiao did not invite gu mohan to go with her according to jian mengqi''s wishes in order to avoid embarrassment. Instead, she greeted gu mohan and went to jian mengqi''s house.


    After jian mengqi opened the door, she did not see gu mohan and was slightly surprised.!"


    Ye zhi cleverly used an excuse that she had already thought up to explain, "He''s been busy with work and has been delayed for so many days. The people in the company are going crazy looking for him."


    "Uh-"


    After thinking about it carefully, jian mengqi nodded approvingly.


    The two of them sat down at the table and looked at a table of dishes. Ye zhiqiao also asked, "Where''s Qin Baiye? Not coming either?"


    Jian mengqi put the beef into the pot, pouted out discontentedly and said in a long voice, "I''m busy too."


    Ye zhiqiao agreed and lowered her head to eat.


    Qin Baiye''s "Busy" might be an excuse. Recently, the relationship between the four people suddenly became delicate. Except for the rough lines of jian mengqi, everyone else must feel it, so Qin Baiye would not participate in such a group activity.


    But that''s good. It''s better not to see each other than to put on a forced smile to cover up the awkwardness after meeting each other, and this situation is only temporary. After little treasure''s matter is cleared up, everything will turn back to its original state.


    With this thought, ye zhiqiao felt much more comfortable.


    Jian mengqi was in a very good mood, and her mood was unusually high. Perhaps there were no men, only girls. Soon, jian mengqi started to talk about the recent gossip to make up for the gap in ye zhiqiao''s trip abroad.


    After introducing several couples and several banquets, jian mengqi suddenly remembered something important.


    "Do you know about Zhiqiao, su yanbai and yi shaozhi?"


    Didn''t su yanbai and yi shaozhi always have a good relationship? What else could happen if they were in cahoots?


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head blankly.


    As a result, jian mengqi almost jumped onto the table in surprise. Her face was mixed with an expression of excitement, joy or horror, which was commonly known as a gossipy face.


    "How could you not know?!!"


    Jian mengqi''s voice almost deafened ye zhi.


    Then she sat back in her chair with a look of admiration and kept nodding, "The gu family''s public relations methods are so powerful that such a sensational news can be suppressed."

 Chapter 468 Engagement

    Ye zhiqiao''s curiosity was piqued by her, but what she had been circling for so long was not to say anything important, so she urged, "Hurry up and say it. Recently, because of shen moshen and yi chen in the united states, I didn''t go online at all. Of course, I don''t know."


    "Oh, I see."


    Jian mengqi suddenly agreed a few times, and then said mysteriously, "Not long ago, su yanbai and yi shaozhi got engaged..."


    "Ah? Engaged?!"


    Su yanbai and gu mohan''s engagement was not completely over yet. She turned her head and was engaged to yi shaozhi again.


    This... This must be true love!


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked and couldn''t hide her admiration for yi shaozhi.


    However, jian mengqi showed an expression of "You don''t know anything about''sex explosion''" and continued, "The point is not this, but on the day of the engagement, in front of all the relatives and friends of the su and gu families, all the distinguished guests, and all the senior media in the city, on the big screen of the engagement banquet, appeared... The bed photos of su yanbai and bai zixuan!"


    Su yanbai and bai zixuan''s... Bed... Bed photos?!!!


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes almost fell into the soup pot. After jian mengqi swore countless times to ensure the authenticity and revealed the news about this matter, ye zhiqiao finally believed that it was true.


    -


    A few days ago, su yanbai and yi shaozhi had an engagement party.


    After the engagement with gu mohan last time, su yanbai''s reputation was ruined, so the gu family completely disagreed with this engagement, and even raised fierce objections.


    However, yi shaozhi''s firm attitude, coupled with su yanbai and gu mohan''s engagement, was disrupted by him, so the gu family thought that perhaps yi shaozhi and su yanbai really loved each other, so they came to the engagement party with the idea of turning a blind eye.


    Naturally, the su family was very happy. They thought that no one would dare to take su yanbai from now on, but they turned around and met yi shaozhi, who was slightly inferior to gu Mohan but better than most people. This marriage, they were sure to make a lot of money!


    The guests present were all for yi shaozhi''s sake, and the media were all under yi shaozhi''s supervision, so no one was interested in mentioning gu mohan. The scene looked like a lively and happy engagement party.


    The clock was about to ring at twelve o'' clock, and the host took out the engagement ring and asked the bride-to-be and groom to announce their vows of love before handing the ring to them.


    In fact, this is a process that has been arranged for a long time, connecting yi shaozhi and su yanbai to say things that were memorized in advance.


    However, the video that was also written in the process of playing the love affair between the two of them had a problem.


    At first, the playback device was disrupted and the big screen was pitch black.


    Everyone below the stage was surprised, and the host came out to save the scene responsibly.


    "Haha, everyone is surprised why our playback device is malfunctioning, right? I was also surprised just now, but now I understand that this must be because the telepathy between our prospective bride and groom is so strong that it interferes with the equipment''s radio waves!"


    With a clever reaction, the guests all applauded and agreed. Su yanbai and a few of yi shaozhi''s friends also coaxed and adjusted the atmosphere, saying that the two of them should tell the story of their own love.


    Just as the atmosphere was rekindled, and the awkward few minutes were about to pass, the big screen suddenly... Lit up again.


    Then came the picture of su yanbai and bai zixuan hugging each other on the bed. Both of them were covered in blankets, but anyone could tell that under the blankets, both of their bodies were empty!


    Cheers, cheers, and chatter all stopped in an instant.


    Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the screen, and their faces were full of brilliance.


    The stillness lasted for a few seconds, followed by the most responsive reporters raising their cameras and snapping pictures on the screen.


    Normally, yi shaozhi would react quickly and have someone turn off the player or cut off the power, while sending someone to block the cameras of the reporters, but at that time he was as calm as ever, staring blankly sideways at the screen without any reaction.


    The emergency handling of the incident was all done by his assistant.


    Even after the last engagement party ended in a mess, the guests left with a smile in their mouths. Su yanbai and the su family fled. The gu family shook their hands and left with a livid face. Yi shaozhi was still standing there, facing the dark screen under the spotlight, motionless.


    -


    "Wow!"


    Jian mengqi also went to the engagement banquet, so she could tell ye zhiqiao everything that happened.


    Ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but exclaim after hearing it.


    She did not know how su yanbai was feeling at that time, but she was surprised by two engagements in a row, and even saw such a shameful photo by everyone. As long as it was a woman, it should not be acceptable.


    But su yanbai and bai zixuan... How could they have been photographed like that?


    "Why else? The two of them are asleep!" Jian mengqi gave the answer with slight contempt.


    Ye zhiqiao was still puzzled, "But as far as I know, su yanbai and bai zixuan didn''t know each other before, and they just got together recently. So su yanbai is already engaged to yi shaozhi. Why is she still entangled with bai zixuan? She doesn''t know which one is more important?"


    It was obvious to everyone that as long as su yanbai was firmly attached to yi shaozhi this time, and with his feelings for her, not only was she, but even the su family would follow suit. But at this critical juncture, she actually had that kind of thing with bai zixuan and was photographed, wouldn''t it be foolish?!


    Jian mengqi fished out a piece of bean skin covered in red oil and stuffed it into her mouth as she inhaled. After chewing it several times, she said, "That''s about another news."


    "Anything else?"


    Jian mengqi nodded, "Yes, I heard that su yanbai ran out of the wedding banquet and found ye yiyu in her wedding dress. The two of them didn''t know what to say and started fighting on the street! But I didn''t see it. I saw it on the news. It''s called a battle!"


    There was an accident at the wedding banquet. Su yanbai immediately ran to fight with ye yiyu.


    "Did ye yiyu set her up?" Ye zhiqiao then asked.


    At that time, yi shaozhi must have arranged all kinds of security at the wedding banquet, but there was such a big accident. Someone must have deliberately schemed against su yanbai, which was undoubtedly true.


    "Mm-hmm."

 Chapter 469 Expose

    Jian mengqi took a deep breath and said after a long time, "I don''t know the inside story either. It''s hard to say if ye yiyu did it, but someone must have plotted against su yanbai. It''s certain that su yanbai and ye yiyu have turned against each other."


    Su yanbai, ye yiyu, bai zixuan, shen monong.


    These were the people who hid in the dark and always wanted to rush out to kill ye zhiqiao. If there was an internal conflict between them, then it would be a good thing for ye zhiqiao.


    Now, it seems that there is only a problem between su yanbai and ye yiyu. If we continue, su yanbai will definitely anger bai zixuan because of the photos. By then, the relationship between these people will be more and more chaotic, and the blame and resentment between them will be more and more serious.


    But watching the show didn''t seem easy either.


    Because a few people could not forget ye zhiqiao, the ultimate enemy even when they were attacking each other, the defamation of ye zhiqiao often increased in popularity as the news they tore up occupied the headlines of the website for days on end.


    Fortunately, ye zhiqiao was only slightly affected. After a few days of disconnection, the situation had improved a lot, and the noise of su yan bai and ye yiyu gradually calmed down.


    Just when ye zhiqiao thought that their internal war was about to end, one morning, su yanbai''s announcement put them on the cusp of the storm again!


    The general content of the report said that some time ago, xiao bao was stabbed by an unknown person in kindergarten, causing him to get sick, and the mastermind behind it was ye yiyu!


    Although gu mohan had sealed off the incident of little treasure being stabbed, there were too many people who knew about it. It spread like wildfire. A few days after they came back from the united states, there was a huge uproar.


    Not only on the internet, but even the ministry of education has begun to pay attention to this matter. After all, the cognitive and behavioral abilities of children are not perfect enough. It is always difficult to reach a balance between children and kindergartens. In addition, the incident of child abuse in kindergartens a year ago made everyone focus on this incident.


    Now that the real culprit was exposed, there was naturally a heated discussion.


    The assistant placed the latest report on gu mohan''s desk.


    "Master gu, this is all the way su yan went through when she was writing. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."


    Gu mohan bent his fingers and nodded at the table, closing his eyes and thinking.


    There was nothing wrong with it... It also proved that these things were personally issued by su yanbai, not as he suspected at first, someone was behind the manipulation.


    But was su yanbai''s words really believable? If what she said was true, then his previous suspicions about jian mengqi were completely off course.


    Gu mohan sat up abruptly, pushed the information to his assistant and ordered, "Go investigate again. This time, focus on ye yi yu. The people from jian mengqi''s side... Come back for the time being."


    "Yes." The assistant nodded and was ready to leave.


    "Wait a minute!" Gu mohan stopped him again and added, "Don''t slack off at su yanbai''s place. If necessary, you can use some special means. In short, if ye yiyu bites to death and doesn''t say anything, you still have to dig the truth out of su yanbai''s mouth."


    Ye yiyu was now at the end of her tether. She knew that once her actions were confirmed, the great luo immortal would not be able to save her this time, so she would probably grit her teeth until the end.


    People who have nothing and nothing to lose are the most difficult to deal with. On the contrary, su yanbai, who is still at a loss at this time, is easily threatened.


    So, the next two days, su yanbai was bombarded by the people sent by gu mohan almost all the time. At the same time, the internet also criticized her for not revealing the truth immediately.


    She couldn''t stand it anymore. Her family and friends couldn''t help her. When she was desperate, she had to go to yi shaozhi for help.


    Yi shaozhi had been stuck in his office for the past few days, not seeing his family or guests. He only used endless work to numb himself, but when he heard the name su yanbai, he couldn''t help but soften his heart and let her in.


    "Shaozhi..."


    Su yanbai wanted to play the emotional card when she came up. Yi shaozhi immediately raised his hand to stop her and said coldly, "Speak up and leave immediately."


    Ever since they met, yi shaozhi had never had such an attitude towards su yanbai. However, thinking of the current situation, su yanbai held back and continued to smile at yi shao with a flattering smile, "Don''t misunderstand me. I didn''t mean anything else and didn''t want to explain anything about what happened before. That''s all my fault. I can apologize to you... It''s just shaozhi, I''m really going crazy right now. For the past, can you help me?"


    Past love?


    Heh! If she didn''t mention it, yi shaozhi would be even angrier!


    How did he treat her in the past? They treated each other sincerely, wishing they could fulfill all her requirements and hold the hands she wanted in front of her, even if she only smiled and didn''t even say "Thank you."


    The reason why yi shaozhi treated her like that was because of love!


    But what about her? How did she do it?


    The photos at the engagement banquet not only ruined su yanbai''s reputation, but also made yi shaozhi, who had always been overbearing, become the laughingstock of the crowd. The green hat on his head glowed green!


    But at this moment, he was still... Unable to forget her, not even hating her.


    Even though he was very disappointed and had given so much, su yanbai still couldn''t concentrate on him. He felt that it was useless for him not to get su yanbai''s heart!


    He didn''t know how to face su yanbai, so he simply hid from su yanbai and the rumors.


    Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, su yanbai felt uncertain. She rushed over to hold his hand, pleading with him, both aggrieved and coquettish, "Shaozhi, please help me. You are my only hope. As long as you help me, I will still marry you. Let''s not get engaged, shall we just get married?"


    Yi shaozhi''s heart trembled and he slowly turned to look at her.


    Su yanbai thought that yi shaozhi had been persuaded by her, but she didn''t want him to sneer. She shook her head and said, "Su yanbai, su yanbai, I used to like your confident look the most, but now, why do I find your blind confidence frighteningly stupid?"


    Get married? Isn''t he wearing enough of a green hat?


    Yi shaozhi''s words made su yanbai''s face a little stiff, but she soon recovered and continued to beg him, "Shaozhi, I know you blame me. You can punish me any way you want, but can you help me first? After you saved me, I listened to everything you said, really!"


    Yi shaozhi stared at her and shook his head after a while.


    He no longer dared to believe her, nor could he.

 Chapter 470 Asking for Help

    After leaving the yi group, su yanbai was completely out of her wits.


    Yi shaozhi, who had been waiting behind her for so long that she could look back, had disappeared. Yi shaozhi, who had done the wrong thing and was willing to clean up the mess after she got into trouble, had also disappeared. A week ago, he had confessed to her that he didn''t mind her past and that he was willing to marry her right away.


    The torrential rain of midsummer poured down without warning, and the pedestrians rushed away, leaving the square and road empty.


    Su yanbai shrank her shoulders and hugged her arms tightly. Subconsciously, when she reached into her pocket, she realized that father su had confiscated her favorite sports car. Today, she... Took a taxi!


    Oh, what a joke!


    She was the miss su of the su family, reduced to being drenched like a drowned chicken and waiting for a taxi by the side of the road!


    What a turn of events, everyone is so good at throwing stones into the well!


    Splashed with mud and water by a private car that occasionally sped past, an empty car finally stopped in front of him.


    She opened the door with a cold war and sat in. The driver frowned and reminded her in a bad tone, "Throw the water off your body and don''t wet the seat."


    Then he asked, "Where are you going?"


    Su yanbai glanced at the inner structure of the taxi and thought that it was not enough for a meal to sell junk cars like this. What was the fuss about?!


    However, it was not easy to stop the car, and she could not say these words.


    Su yanbai looked at the driver through the rearview mirror. For a moment, she showed a blank expression.


    She was waiting for the bus, but where was she going? Go home?


    No! Her father would not give her a good look when she returned home. He might even ban her feet.


    As long as the public opinion on the internet does not disappear, and gu mohan''s relentless pursuit of her does not end, she will not have a good life.


    She had to think of another way. Even without yi shaozhi, she could not be tortured to death!


    She had to keep looking for help, but... Who was she looking for?


    The taxi stopped in the rain, and su yanbai paid the fare with the only money she had. After closing the door, an apartment building faced her.


    Fortunately, the rain had thinned and she was dry enough so that she wouldn''t be too embarrassed later.


    But as she went up the stairs in the elevator, she raised her neck and thought, she has already come to ask that person for help. Is there any shame in her?


    "Ding dong -"


    "You''re back so early?"


    When the doorbell rang, the person inside ran over in his slippers in surprise. When he opened the door and saw the person outside, he was stunned again.


    Su yanbai smiled awkwardly and pleasantly, "Ye zhiqiao, can you do me a favor?"


    Ye zhiqiao stared at her for a long time, but she didn''t mean to invite her in.


    "What are you busy with?"


    Su yanbai clenched her hands together and pursed her lips, "Gu mohan is too cruel. I''m going crazy from his torture. I admit I''m no match for him. Can you let him go of me? We''ll go our separate ways in the future, and I won''t make up my mind about him anymore!"


    Because of little treasure, gu mohan had been chasing after su yanbai all the time and always felt that she had something to hide about it. Ye zhiqiao could understand gu mohan''s feelings, but she also felt that his approach was a little extreme.


    After all, according to su yanbai, she was not the party involved, so her understanding of the situation must be very vague, and it would be useless to push it any harder.


    Ye zhiqiao pondered for a long time and said slowly, "I can help you, but you have to tell me everything you know in detail."


    "Yes, I promise. I''ll tell you everything now!"


    Su yanbai agreed excitedly.


    Now, as long as she could regain her composure, she could say anything. Besides, there were no secrets left for her. Didn''t those ugly things of hers have already been exposed? At most, the outsiders may not know everything about ye yiyu and bai zixuan, but it has nothing to do with her.


    "Come in."


    Ye zhiqiao turned to let her in.


    At this time, in the ye family mansion, gu mohan was looking for ye yiyu angrily.


    Ye guojun, zhuang minjia, and a kind of servant surrounded them to stop them, but as gu Mohan was now, as long as they stared, they did not dare to approach.


    So soon, ye yiyu, who was hiding in her room, was caught.


    Gu mohan dragged her and threw her into the lobby on the first floor, pinching her chin and asking, "It''s you, isn''t it? You sent someone to the kindergarten to harm little treasure!!"


    Ye yiyu propped her arms against the ground and tried to pull back with all her might. However, gu mohan was so strong that she could not move at all.


    "I... No, I didn''t do that kind of thing..."


    "Still not admitting it?!"


    Gu mohan picked up the vase on the table and smashed it hard on the ground beside ye yiyu!


    It had been three days since the investigation, and su yanbai had revealed and testified, but for three whole days, his people still couldn''t find any valuable information. They only knew that ye yiyu had an alibi that day, so they suspected that she had hired someone to do it.


    But with suspicion alone, he could do nothing!!


    The sound of the vase exploding frightened everyone present. Zhuang minjia couldn''t bear to part with her daughter, so she rushed over and hugged ye yiyu in her arms. She shouted at gu Mohan at the top of her voice, "If you have anything to do with me, don''t hurt my daughter! What can you do about gu mohan? Do you still want to kill people?!"


    What a mother-daughter drama...


    Gu mohan''s face was grim and his dark eyes were filled with anger.


    He pulled up zhuang minjia''s arm and threw her into the sofa like a rag. Ignoring zhuang minjia''s scolding and ye guojun''s scolding, he squatted in front of ye yiyu again.


    Ye yiyu was afraid of gu mohan. It used to be, and it is now.


    Just now, gu mohan almost made a move on her, and she couldn''t help but cry. Her tear-stained face shrank.


    Gu mohan glared at her angrily and questioned her word for word, "Your mother just said she wouldn''t let me hurt her daughter, but she seemed to forget that it was her precious daughter, who almost killed my daughter. Tell me, I won''t settle this with you. Who will I settle it with?"


    "Hoo... Hoo..."


    Ye yi gasped for breath and shook his body slightly, not knowing whether he was shaking his head or shaking from fear.


    Gu mohan frowned and gritted his back teeth, "If I could, I would have strangled you right now. Scum like you would only harm others if you were alive. So before I find the evidence, you should enjoy your last moments as much as possible!"


    After saying this, he stood up and stormed out of the door.


    Ye yiyu was still leaning on the ground in her previous position, her eyes filled with fear.

 Chapter 471 Sever Ties

    Gu mohan''s eyes were so terrifying, like a ferocious predator preparing to retaliate against its natural enemies. He had no extra thoughts, just "I want to kill you!"


    Zhuang minjia ran over to pick up her daughter and said to ye guojun in a hoarse cry, "Old ye, do something! How can we go on like this? How can we stand his torment?!"


    Ye guojun was also very angry. Gu mohan dared to barge into the ye family in front of so many servants. He did not take the ye family seriously and even threatened ye yiyu, who was his most precious daughter!


    However, the rumor that ye yi had harmed little treasure has spread. With the ye family''s current ability, it is absolutely impossible to turn the situation around. Perhaps we can only start from gu Mohan. As long as he doesn''t pursue it, we can ensure the safety of ye yi yu.


    But it was the hardest to talk about Mohan, unless... Unless ye zhiqiao helped!


    Hearing that ye guojun wanted to ask ye zhiqiao for help, zhuang minjia immediately exploded.


    "Are you crazy, army?! The last time you asked her for shares, what did she do to you? Did you forget? And what did she do to me when I was kind enough to take her home for her birthday? That was a white eyed wolf! Do you think she''ll listen to you?"


    "Whether you will listen or not, you have to try!"


    Ye guojun glared at her discontentedly, "Besides, what else can you think of besides begging her now? If we don''t do anything, do we have to wait for gu mohan to deal with xiao yu again?"


    "But..." Zhuang minjia wanted to argue, but ye yiyu tugged at her sleeve.


    Seeing this, zhuang minjia had to say, "If you want to go, I won''t go anyway. I don''t want to see that little bitch''s face again in my life!"


    Ye guojun had no intention of bringing zhuang minjia with him. With her personality, good things would have to be ruined.


    So he shook his hand and turned to leave.


    In the apartment, su yanbai had just left when he welcomed ye guojun.


    After ye zhiqiao opened the door, she did not intend to let ye guojun in, but ye guojun did not seem to see her refusal and walked in without changing her slippers.


    After the rain, the muddy soles of her shoes stepped on the bright and smooth floor, leaving a row of sticky footprints. Ye zhiqiao frowned in disgust, but did not say anything.


    After sitting on the sofa, ye guojun straightened the side of the small sofa and said in a reasonable tone, "You should sit too."


    Ye zhiqiao refused to look at him and refused, "I won''t sit down. If you have anything to say, just say it and go back."


    "How can you talk to your father?!"


    Ye guojun was displeased. He clapped the armrest and stood up, followed by a brand new set of muddy footprints, and came to ye zhiqiao. "What right do you have to chase me away?" Ever since you lived here, have you invited your family over? Do you have any basic family values?!"


    Ye zhi happened to have calluses on her ears when she heard this.


    She was very familiar with ye guojun''s routine. Usually, as long as she started playing the emotional card, then there must be something to ask for next.


    Sure enough, ye guojun then changed his tone to a more gentle one and said, "Okay, for the sake of your lonely personality since childhood, dad doesn''t care much about you. You take this opportunity to help your sister, soften the attitude of your family towards you, and then move back home."


    Help my sister... Ye yiyu?!


    And the benefit of helping her out was to let her go home and live?


    Ye zhiqiao was very confused. How strong and thick-skinned this man was, he could still say this without changing his face today!


    Does it look like she really wants to get involved with the ye family again?


    "Oh, I really have nothing to say." Ye zhiqiao chuckled and shook her head, her mouth full of sarcasm.


    Seeing the situation, ye guojun felt very embarrassed, so he lowered his face and raised his voice, "We are all your relatives, no matter what, you don''t have to be so hostile. Moreover, gu mohan''s actions were too much. Xiao yu was his sister-in-law. How could he hold on to her mistakes?!"


    So that''s why.


    Ye zhiqiao finally understood the reason why ye guojun came. Gu mo was probably cold, but he did some threatening things to ye yiyu. Then ye guojun and zhuang minjia couldn''t stand it and wanted to run over and ask her for help.


    But wouldn''t they use their brains to think about it? Isn''t it impossible for her to help ye yiyu? It was good enough that she didn''t go to deal with ye yiyu herself!


    "I won''t help, you can go."


    Ye zhiqiao flatly refused and opened the door to give an eviction order.


    Ye guojun immediately changed his face, raised his hand to her nose and warned, "Ye zhiqiao, don''t go too far! Ye yiyu is your sister. If you don''t save her, you don''t deserve to be a member of the ye family!"


    Ye zhiqiao sneered and stared at him coldly, "I''ve already said that I have nothing to do with the ye family."


    She was extremely disappointed in ye guojun. Apart from her surname and blood, she had already severed ties with ye guojun.


    "Great! Wow! Ye zhi happens to be so nice to you!"


    Ye guojun angrily pointed at her a few times, but couldn''t think of a way to deal with her, so he threatened, "If you don''t let gu mohan stop what he''s doing now, then I''ll get you out of the ye family. Your name won''t be on the ye family tree. I''ll also announce to the media that I don''t want you as a daughter! When the time comes, let''s see who is shameless!"


    Is this the only card ye guojun has?


    Unfortunately, ye zhiqiao didn''t care at all.


    She opened the door wide and said expressionlessly, "Whatever you want, but leave my house now."


    When ye guojun saw that she was unmoved, he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless. He simply dashed out of the door with a black face. After ye zhiqiao closed the door, he kicked the door hard and shouted, "Remember, from now on, you have nothing to do with our ye family. In the future, whether you are dead or alive, don''t go back to the ye family!"


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to hear his voice. She covered her ears and ran back to the room.


    After a long time, the sound outside gradually subsided and disappeared.


    Ye zhiqiao ran to the window and looked out, just in time to see the figure of ye guojun strode away, rubbing his throat.


    After all, she had left. One su yan bai was enough to annoy her. She did not expect another ye guojun to come. Fortunately, after seeing that little treasure was fine, her mental state had recovered a lot. Otherwise, like today, she would have been so angry that she would have died.


    After two terrible events in a row, she glanced at the time and realized that gu mohan was about to leave work, so she packed up her mood and went out to buy some food.

 Chapter 472 Father Yis Warning

    He didn''t want to be stopped by two bodyguards who got off the car just as he left the apartment.


    Ye zhiqiao stepped back subconsciously, her eyes rolling back and forth on the faces of the two bodyguards, and asked defensively, "Who are you... What are you stopping me for?"


    One of the bodyguards bowed to ye zhiqiao and then said in a robotic voice, "Hello, miss ye. My master would like to invite you over for an interview. Please get in the car with us."


    "Who is your master?"


    "Mr. Yi, Yi''s group."


    Yi chen''s father? Why did he look for him?


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t know why, so she said, "I don''t know him, and I can''t go over now. I''m sorry."


    After that, ye zhiqiao wanted to turn around and leave. The bodyguard, however, stepped in front of her and said in a calm voice, "You''d better go with us. Master yi has something to do with second young master yi."


    Ye zhiqiao guessed right, it was about yi chen, but she had no contact with yi chen recently, and only met twice in the united states... Could it be because of the news?


    That''s right, it must be the news that shen monong made up!


    Yi family is a big family and has such a powerful company. It must care about reputation very much. Negative news will bring them a lot of trouble.


    It was because of her that yi chen had spent so much money, so she should go and explain it so that the old man wouldn''t be worried.


    Ye zhiqiao decided, then followed the bodyguard to the yi family.


    At the Yi family mansion, Father yi had been waiting for her for a long time.


    It was so quiet that the Yi family''s servants were trained very well and did not make any noise once in a while.


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously lowered her steps and slowly walked to the opposite of Father yi. She bent down and said, "Hello, uncle yi. I''m ye zhiqiao. I heard that you have something to talk to me about. I just wanted to explain to you..."


    "Sit down."


    Before ye zhiqiao could finish speaking, Father yi raised his hand to interrupt her and let her sit across from him.


    Father yi''s temperament was very good. Although the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, his eyes were shining, but his behavior just now made ye zhiqiao a little uncomfortable.


    Father yi summoned a servant to serve ye zhiqiao tea, then continued to lower his head and wash the tea with his own tea set. He said casually, "You can talk first."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and then realized that he wanted to hear her explanation.


    So she coughed softly and said, "I think uncle came to me because of the news about me and your son yi chen in the united states. That thing is completely groundless. I am a good friend of yi chen, that''s all. I hope you don''t misunderstand."


    "Hehe, it doesn''t matter if I misunderstand. It''s important that outsiders don''t misunderstand."


    Father yi picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. He closed his eyes and tasted it, then put it back on the table. For the first time, he was looking at ye zhiqiao.


    "You are all young people. It is normal for you to play and play, but you must have a sense of propriety. You must have a sense of self-awareness." Father yi spoke in an educational tone, then slowly became serious, "Who is xiao chen? He is the second young master of the Yi family and will take over the Yi family with his big brother in the future. And miss ye..."


    He chuckled and shook his head with a look of disdain in his eyes, "Forgive me, old man. I have never heard of miss ye''s achievements, so I hope you know yourself and don''t go to yi chen''s side again."


    In the first half, he maintained basic respect, but in the later part, there was undisguised humiliation and warning.


    When gu fu first met ye zhiqiao, he did not treat ye zhiqiao like this. However, ye zhiqiao never expected that yi father would respect himself so much.


    "Uncle, is that... A little too much?" Ye zhiqiao asked, holding back.


    But Father yi didn''t want to be more aggressive. He raised his voice and shouted, "Don''t do this to me. I''ve seen a lot of girls like you! You want to marry into a rich family and fly up the tree to be a phoenix, but you also want to pretend to be a noble person. Little girl, this move of yours is already out of date."


    Ye zhiqiao stood up angrily and said firmly, "I have a boyfriend, and I will never be with your family. You can rest assured!"


    Father yi snorted coldly and slowly picked up the teacup to his mouth, "That''s best. If I find out again, I''m sorry, miss ye. I won''t stand on ceremony with the old man!"


    Before they knew the truth, they began to criticize and warn others. The family style of the Yi family elders was really disappointing!


    Ye zhiqiao grabbed her bag and walked out with a cold face.


    The two bodyguards stopped her behind them and asked father yi for advice, "Master?"


    Father yi waved his hand, "Miss ye is a smart person. If you hear it once, you will remember it. Make way."


    Ye zhiqiao curled her lips and smiled coldly, but she didn''t say anything. Instead, she continued to walk away.


    On the bus home, she thought about Father yi''s words all the way home. She knew what he said was unreasonable, but her eyes were still red with anger.


    It was only when she approached the door and remembered that gu mohan must have returned by this time that she rubbed her eyes and calmed down for a while before ringing the doorbell.


    Gu mohan came from the living room to open the door. Seeing that her expression was not right, he asked casually, "What''s wrong with you? Who made you angry?"


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head wearily and went in with her shoulders down to change her shoes.


    Gu mohan stared at her strangely for a while. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he turned around and walked back. Halfway through, he turned around and said, "By the way, didn''t you just go out to buy vegetables? There''s no food at home. What are we going to eat tonight?"


    After he said this, ye zhiqiao remembered that she had planned to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, but was taken away by the yi family.


    But now she was not in the mood to buy vegetables, and even if she did, she was not in the mood to cook.


    "I''m not hungry. If you''re hungry, go out and eat."


    Ye zhiqiao listlessly gave the solution, then put the bag on the shoe cabinet and headed to the bedroom.


    Gu mohan was sure that she was in a bad mood by now, but he didn''t know the reason, so he didn''t dare to persuade her. He chased after her and suggested, "Why don''t we go out and eat together? Recently, my assistant introduced a shop and said it was delicious."


    "I don''t want to eat. You can go by yourself."


    Ye zhiqiao threw herself on the bed, closed her eyes and looked lazy.


    The more she did this, the more worried gu mohan became.


    "Zhiqiao, it''s easy to get stomach trouble if you don''t eat on time. Be good. If you don''t want to go out, I can buy some food and cook."


    Ye zhiqiao was very upset, but gu mohan was still nagging in her ear. She couldn''t help shouting, "I don''t want to cook. Can I sleep? Could you please go out?!"

 Chapter 473 Butler Wang

    Ye zhiqiao turned on her phone to look at the time, then got up and got off the bed lightly, leaned over the door frame and looked into the living room.


    Twenty minutes had passed since she had lost her temper and roared. Gu mohan still sat motionless in the living room with the tv on, but his eyes did not move. He looked like a statue.


    In fact, she regretted it the moment she finished yelling, because she knew that gu mohan cared about her for her own good.


    But sometimes, people might really be fearless because of the other party''s love. Knowing that it would make gu mohan sad and angry, she still let herself do that.


    If it wasn''t for gu mohan''s face turning too fast and leaving too quickly, she might have apologized long ago, but with such a delay, the two of them seemed to have started to have a cold war. If they wanted to apologize again, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.


    "Ahem..."


    In the living room, gu mohan suppressed a few coughs, then lay back and leaned into the sofa.


    He frowned and closed his eyes, looking uncomfortable.


    The weather changed all the time. The day before was sunny and the day after was cloudy and rainy. Although gu mohan had a good constitution, he was tired and troubled from work, so he could not avoid catching a cold.


    Looking at his appearance, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt heartbroken. How could she care about her face?


    So she quickly ran to the kitchen to make a cup of honey lemonade and put it in front of gu mohan for him to drink first.


    Gu mohan glanced at the lemonade, then at her, picked it up and drank it all.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips in relief and sat cross-legged on the sofa. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Just now... I''m sorry. I''m not in a good mood. I treat you like a venting bucket."


    Gu mohan stared at her expressionlessly, until her hair was about to stand up. Then he asked quietly, "Why don''t you hurry up and tell the truth?"


    Ye zhiqiao had always been very good at controlling her emotions. Most of the time, she would digest the unhappiness on her own. But today, her reaction was especially strong. Something special must have happened.


    Gu Mohan was angry not because she was angry at him, but because she had something on her mind and refused to tell him.


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and told Father yi what she had told her to go over and warn her.


    After hearing this, gu mohan''s face immediately darkened.


    "Isn''t he clear about yi chen''s situation in the united states? What does it have to do with you?" Gu mohan asked unhappily.


    Ye zhiqiao helplessly spread out her hands, "They must have helped her son to speak. Of course, the mistake was to blame others, but don''t worry. I''ve figured it out. I''m not angry. In the future, yi chen will be in the united states and I will be in the country. I don''t have many opportunities to meet him. I''m not afraid of any more news."


    "How about this time?" Gu mohan frowned and asked.


    His girlfriend was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion with someone else. He had yet to settle the score with yi chen, but the yi family was still complaining about it?


    As a man, I can''t stand it!


    Gu mohan was furious and wanted to call yi chen when he found his phone.


    Ye zhiqiao saw that the momentum was not right and stopped him quickly. After grabbing the phone, she asked, "What are you doing?"


    "Give it to me!" Gu mohan went to grab the phone, "I want to ask yi chen what the Yi family thinks. He''s a capable man. Why let his family make things difficult for you?!"


    Gu mohan thought that if yi chen handled this matter well, if he gave his family and ye zhiqiao a satisfactory answer, then Father yi would not make this happen today, so ye zhiqiao was warned by Father yi, it was entirely yi chen''s responsibility.


    Ye zhiqiao hid her phone behind her back and blocked gu mohan''s path, "You''re really mad at me for stealing it again! I didn''t tell you this to help me out, I just wanted you to be at ease. This is the end of the whole thing. Can we not create any more trouble?"


    Gu mohan could not understand ye zhiqiao''s attitude and said doubtfully, "But you have been bullied. Shouldn''t you seek justice?"


    "Aye..."


    Ye zhiqiao sighed speechlessly and then sat beside him with gu mohan''s arm in her arms.


    "How could it be as serious as you say? It''s just that an elder is a little too old for his own good. Let''s just be younger and not be as knowledgeable as him. And yi chen, he might not even know what his father did. It''s not easy for him to take over the company now. Let''s not get in his way."


    What ye zhiqiao said also makes sense. Yi chenyuan did not say in the united states, but with his feelings for ye zhiqiao, if he knew that his father was making things difficult for ye zhiqiao, he would never be indifferent.


    It seemed that it really had nothing to do with him.


    Gu mohan closed his eyes, then tilted his head to look at ye zhiqiao and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "Although I agree with your idea, I always feel that you are speaking for yi chen."


    "Where?!"


    Ye zhiqiao immediately denied it.


    However, she stole a few glances at the jealous president gu and found him rather cute.


    So she stepped up and kissed gu mohan on the side of his face!


    The next morning, gu mohan was rushed to the company by a phone call just after dawn, leaving ye zhiqiao alone in the "Empty room."


    According to american time, little treasure must be resting now, and jian mengqi has been busy with the new project of the studio recently, almost in a "Closed door" state. Ye zhiqiao couldn''t find anyone to spend time with, so she got out of bed listlessly to prepare breakfast.


    Without little treasure and gu mohan, she had a simple meal of bread, ham, fried eggs, and a glass of fresh milk, which she ate in ten minutes.


    Just as she was about to clean up, the doorbell rang.


    With her empty plate in her hand, she thought to herself, why did gu mohan come back so soon?


    But when she ran to open the door, she realized that the person outside was not gu mohan, but a middle-aged man in a chinese tunic with a straight figure.


    The happy smile froze on her face, and when she realized it, she asked,... "Who are you looking for?"


    The middle-aged man smiled politely. He bowed slightly before saying, "Are you miss ye zhiqiao? Hello, I''m the housekeeper of the Wang family. You can call me Wang Butler."


    Men use honorifics when they speak, but they are not humble or overbearing, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.


    But his aura was not annoying.


    So ye zhiqiao smiled and reached out her hand, "Hello, Wang Butler. Are you here to see Mohan?"


    The Wang family he was talking about was a big family, and ye zhiqiao naturally thought he was gu mohan''s friend.


    But Wang Butler shook his head and said, "No, miss ye, I came here to pick you up at the master''s command."

 Chapter 474 Grandfather

    Master? Go home? Together?


    His words were so full of information that ye zhi happened to not understand them for a long time.


    "Who is your master?"


    Wang Butler was stunned and didn''t seem to know how to answer her question. After a few seconds, he explained, "My master is the largest shareholder of the wang family, and also your mother''s father, your grandfather."


    Grandfather?!!


    What... What is this?!


    Ye zhiqiao shrank back and smiled awkwardly in surprise, "Wang Butler... Stop joking. My mother''s surname is not wang, and there is no one at home with the surname wang, so the master wang you are talking about must have found the wrong person."


    Wang Butler seemed to have expected her to react this way, so he did not explain, but continued to invite, "You and I will go back to the Wang family mansion, master will personally explain to you the origin of it, then you will understand."


    Ye zhi grinned with disbelief.


    Suddenly, a man appeared, saying that he was her grandfather''s housekeeper, and asked her to follow him home, but that grandfather was not her surname, and she had never heard her family mention this grandfather.


    Will she follow her back?


    Unless she''s crazy!


    "I''m sorry, Wang Butler. Your master is really looking for the wrong person. You''d better... Try to find someone else. I''m sorry. I wish you success as soon as possible."


    Ye zhiqiao obviously didn''t believe Wang Butler''s words, and her orders to leave were very perfunctory.


    Wang Butler saw ye zhiqiao''s attitude. Although his master had instructed him, he could not force others, so he had to give up temporarily.


    "Well, miss ye, I''m sorry to disturb your rest. We''ll see you later."


    Wang Butler bowed again, then turned around and left. His steady and powerful steps did not match his age at all.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head with a wry smile and walked into the room, thinking that all sorts of strange things happened these days, and someone actually came to acknowledge her!


    However, although she thought it was a strange story, when gu mohan came back from work at noon, she still relayed it to gu mohan in detail.


    At the Wang family mansion, the butler was at a disadvantage and was standing in the living room with his hands down to report the situation to master wang.


    The old man on the sofa was about seventy or eighty years old, with silver hair, white eyebrows, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and even more obvious when he squinted.


    However, such an old man, sitting on the sofa, was very straight, his whole back was in a straight line, and his whole body did not have the sense of relaxation that old people often have.


    Hearing the butler''s words, he was not angry, but nodded calmly, even with a peaceful smile on his face.


    "The child is in her twenties, and it''s not possible for her to accept it all of a sudden. Just give her some time to get used to it, and you can pick her up later."


    "Yes."


    The butler agreed.


    "Wang family? Is it the Wang family of the wang group?" Gu mohan was eating, and immediately put down his chopsticks after listening to ye zhiqiao''s narration.


    Ye zhiqiao''s face was blank. After thinking back for a moment, she said, "The housekeeper did mention wang''s, but I don''t know if it''s the one you said."


    She leaned forward curiously, "What''s wrong? You know them?"


    Gu mohan nodded at the table and organized his speech, "Not really. I''ve seen him a few times in social situations, but I haven''t spoken. The company... Should have worked together, but they were all small projects, and the people below did it, and we didn''t have direct contact with them."


    "Oh."


    There was nothing new, ye zhiqiao agreed bored, ready to continue eating.


    Gu Mohan seemed to be very interested in this matter. He continued to introduce himself, "Although the Wang family''s industry is not as large as gu''s, its reputation in the industry is still good, and its own background is strong. It is estimated that there will be a lot of room for development in the future, but the current president is too old, almost no matter what, but the new president has not been elected."


    Ye zhiqiao had always been uninterested in the business world, and gu mohan agreed without a word, not knowing how much she heard in her head.


    Suddenly, gu mohan had a flash of inspiration and asked her, "By the way, what did you mean when you said that Wang Butler had a good temperament?"


    Huh?


    Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan confusedly and saw his eyes shining. He seemed really curious.


    But good temperament is good, what else?


    Ye zhiqiao tilted her head in a strange way and reluctantly recalled, "I think she''s quite energetic... Her voice is loud, and she walks steadily, one step at a time... Haha, don''t you understand what I''m saying?"


    After that, she smiled sheepishly.


    But gu Mohan was not amused at all, but more confused.


    Because according to ye zhiqiao''s description, that was what he said about the Wang family.


    "The older generation of the Wang family are all highly accomplished soldiers, and now master wang has served in the army, and his rank is not low. According to you, that Wang Butler may also be a retired soldier, working with master wang."


    But the more famous the Wang family was, the weirder things were going to happen today.


    With master wang''s ability, it should be easy not to make a mistake if you want to find your granddaughter, but ye zhiqiao really did not know that she had a relative surnamed wang, which is very intriguing.


    Gu mohan always felt that there was something wrong with this. After returning to the company in the afternoon, he immediately asked his assistant to investigate ye zhiqiao''s mother and master wang.


    But the result was not ideal.


    In the past, ye zhiqiao''s mother had passed away for many years, and there was nowhere to find her friends. Her only husband, ye guojun, had almost no contact with ye zhiqiao, so he could not ask anything from him.


    Secondly, the Wang family was deeply involved with the military. The internal information was classified as confidential and could not be found by ordinary means, so this line was also broken.


    There was no progress. Recently, the company was busy, and gu mohan could not put a lot of manpower and material resources into this kind of uncertain thing, so he had to give up.


    However, this matter had reached a dead end, and another thing that had given him a headache for a long time had made a breakthrough.


    The person who pricked little treasure in the kindergarten was caught!


    The person who caught him was gu mohan. Under all kinds of coercion and seduction, he admitted that he was hired by ye yiyu, avoided surveillance and kindergarten teachers and students, and inserted needles into xiao bao''s arm during his nap.


    The reason why little treasure didn''t feel anything was that he had rubbed the anesthetic on the needle beforehand. Of course, this was also instructed by ye yiyu.


    Now that the evidence and evidence are available, how to deal with ye yiyu is all in gu mohan''s mind.


    But he felt that this matter still had to be discussed with ye zhiqiao first. After all, ye zhiqiao was a member of the ye family. Once this matter was exposed, not only would ye yiyu be severely punished by the law, but the ye family would also be drowned by the saliva of the outside world.

 Chapter 475 Retaliate Against the Ye Family

    So he went home immediately, explained this to ye zhiqiao and asked her for advice.


    But in fact, ye zhiqiao had already made a decision.


    "She hurt little treasure on purpose. Little treasure almost lost his life. She should be punished. I totally agree with you." Ye zhiqiao made a solemn statement.


    She had long given up on the ye family. Ye yiyu was stubborn, and ye guojun and zhuang minjia had helped her to do this. If she and gu mohan were still soft-hearted, it would be harmful to others and to others!


    Ye zhiqiao was a profound and righteous person, which gu mohan had known for a long time, but he had one more thing he wanted to discuss with her.


    "Zhiqiao, before I report ye yiyu, I still have something I want to do, but this is not an open and aboveboard matter. If you don''t agree, I absolutely respect your idea."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "Say it."


    Gu mohan clenched his fists tightly on his legs, gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone, "Ye yiyu''s hand is very sharp this time. Little treasure is still abroad for treatment. I don''t want her to go to jail so easily. Before that, I want to use my own method to make her pay."


    Ye yiyu had gone to prison before, but it was obvious that the life inside did not change her. If she was sent in now, she would not be sentenced to death. At most, she was imprisoned for more than ten years. What if she continued to harm people after she came out?


    So gu mohan wanted to spend some time hollowing out the interior of the ye family, and then send ye yiyu to court to give the ye family a fatal blow, so that the ye family would be completely defeated. Even if ye yiyu was released from prison, what awaited her was only the lowest life and the most miserable fate!


    This was too cruel, but other than that, it could not resolve his hatred.


    Ye yiyu did all the bad things, ye guojun did not care about family, and zhuang minjia even pushed ye zhiqiao out of the way, but after all, they were once a family, gu mohan was afraid that ye zhiqiao would not be able to get through that hurdle in his heart.


    Sure enough, ye zhiqiao heard his thoughts and fell into silence.


    Her heart was also in a tangle, whether to let nature take its course, or revenge with resentment?


    Ye yiyu had harmed her before and almost killed her, but for the sake of blood relations, she could let it go. Ye guojun was her biological father, so she could let him go. But when she thought of little treasure on the other side of the ocean, her anger suddenly rose!


    Such a small child, suffered so much harm and grievance, if she and gu mohan did not help her get justice, who else could they let?!


    They were not saints and could not do anything to repay good for evil.


    After a long time, ye zhiqiao made a decision: "I agree with your idea. You can do it without thinking about me. Anyway... I''m no longer a member of the ye family. The last time ye guojun came to ask me to help ye yiyu, I refused, so he kicked me out of the ye family."


    In the past, when ye zhiqiao and ye guojun were at loggerheads, they both said that they would break off their relationship, but perhaps there was still a little kinship in their hearts. The two of them just reduced their contact, and the outside world did not know.


    This time, ye guojun was going to delete ye zhiqiao''s name from his family tree and announce that he was going to be serious.


    Gu mohan was very angry when he heard this, "Hmph! Ye guojun has always been so selfish!"


    He thought that ye zhiqiao still had the use value to maintain the family relationship. Once he found out that ye zhiqiao refused to do anything for him, he immediately wanted to sever the relationship.!


    "If he wants to, he can. You won''t live with them in the future anyway! Little treasure and I are your family. We will never leave you."


    Gu mohan took ye zhiqiao''s hand, half to comfort and half to confess.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled happily and turned her hand around to interlock his fingers, "I understand. As long as you and little treasure are there, I am very satisfied."


    Gu mohan held her in his arms, not knowing how to feel sorry for her.


    Originally, the atmosphere became dull when they talked about revenge on ye yiyu. Now, they talked about ye guojun''s intention to sever the relationship. Although ye zhi happened not to show it on the surface, gu Mohan knew that she would not be comfortable in her heart.


    To ease the tension, gu mohan suggested eating in the restaurant.


    Ye zhiqiao crawled out of his arms, picked up her cell phone, looked at it and said, "It''s only three o'' clock, so early to eat?"


    "I''m not full for lunch. Are you full?" Gu mohan blinked and asked.


    At noon, the two of them were busy discussing the Wang family until gu mohan went to work and had not come up with a reason. After gu mohan left, ye zhiqiao was not in the mood to eat by herself, so she would not be full.


    Ye zhiqiao rubbed her stomach and smiled bitterly, "You said that... I''m a little hungry. Where are you going to eat?"


    Gu mohan curled his lips and flicked her forehead helplessly, "Just follow me!"


    In the elegant and simple western restaurant, ye zhiqiao and gu mohan sat down one after another.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t like western food unless it tasted especially good. This shop, gu mohan, had come with customers a few days ago, so he was very sure that ye zhiqiao would like it here.


    As expected, ye zhiqiao nodded with satisfaction just after tasting the appetizer.


    Gu mohan shook his glass and took a sip of red wine, "You like foie gras better later. I''ve stepped on it better."


    "Oh?" Ye zhiqiao raised her eyebrows and asked him deliberately, "Who did you step on it with? It''s such a beautiful place. It''s not a waste to be with girls."


    Gu mohan understood that ye zhiqiao intended to tease him, but it was good for couples to have fun occasionally.


    So he took the opportunity and said, "It''s not a waste. We talked well and ate well."


    Hearing this, ye zhi happened to be unhappy and half jokingly lowered her face, "There should be a lot of mature and intelligent women in your partner, right?"


    Gu mohan looked up at the chandelier, as if he was really thinking about ye zhiqiao.


    After a while, he replied, "That partner is very mature, but I don''t know if he knows his sex. But when he ate, his wig almost fell off, which scared me."


    Fake... Wig?!!


    Ye zhiqiao was surprised and stammered, "How... How old is she? Why is she wearing a wig?"


    "More than forty, but as you know, president zhang from the company next door started to lose his hair when he was young. The mediterranean has been for many years. It''s understandable to look for confidence in a wig."


    Gu mohan said it was light.


    Ye zhiqiao finally realized that gu mohan was making fun of her, and immediately stared at him angrily with wide eyes.


    But soon... She was done.


    Gu mohan felt a sense of pride and satisfaction as he watched her smile without regard for her image.

 Chapter 476 The Marriage Was Postponed

    Because when he first met her, he always felt that there was a deep sadness in this woman''s eyes. When she smiled at others, she always controlled herself and stayed in the right range.


    But it was the kind of careful not to break through the boundaries, in his opinion, but only felt heartbroken.


    Now, unknowingly, ye zhiqiao seemed to have escaped from the original pain. She could cry bitterly or laugh freely. Her heart was filled with rich emotions, most of which... Was love.


    "Stupid?"


    Ye zhiqiao reached out her hand and shook it in front of gu mohan''s eyes. She nuzzled her mouth at the food on the table and said, "Didn''t you say it was delicious? Why are you still in a daze?"


    ... Ah? Oh! Yes, eat it. It''s delicious!" Gu mohan regained his senses and curled his nose in embarrassment.


    In fact, there was a moment just now, he wanted to bring up the matter of marriage with ye zhiqiao again, but after ye zhiqiao''s last tactful refusal, he would always be timid to bring it up again.


    But maybe the sun was too warm in the afternoon, maybe the piano in the restaurant was too beautiful, or maybe the opposite ye zhiqiao smiled too beautifully, and the idea of inviting her to spend the rest of her life could not be suppressed.


    Gu mohan absent-mindedly cut the steak with a knife. He paused and looked up at ye zhiqiao.


    "Zhiqiao, last time I told you... How are you thinking about getting married?"


    He purposely used a calm tone, but the palms of his hands were sweating.


    Ye zhiqiao was startled when she heard this, as if she did not expect that he would bring it up again without warning.


    Her attitude towards marriage was always the same.


    In this life, she would never want to marry anyone except gu mohan.


    But... The obstacles in front of them were still there.


    Her father and mother were as repulsive as ever towards her, and their short-lived passion for intimacy was still because they wanted her to help persuade Mohan to cooperate with the relatives of the gu family.


    In the end, she rejected gu father.


    It is conceivable that because of this, the attitude of gu father and gu mother towards her must have dropped to the bottom again.


    And little treasure, little treasure''s condition has not recovered yet, gu father and gu mother occasionally ask, she and gu mohan are going to lie and lie all the time, if little treasure can''t be present on the wedding day, then it will definitely not make sense.


    And little treasure was not completely healthy, and she was definitely not in the mood to get married.


    These troublesome things don''t want to go away, as soon as I think about it, it will be endless. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to let gu mohan get caught in the middle, so she sighed softly and helplessly advised, "Just wait a little longer. There are too many and too many things lately. Don''t push yourself too hard."


    Gu mohan knew what she was thinking. Her worries and heartaches were written on her face and she comforted her, "I''m fine, really! As long as you promise, everything else will make way for our wedding. I will give you the biggest and happiest wedding."


    "Forget it, Mohan. I''m not in a hurry."


    Ye zhiqiao put down the cutlery, put her hand on his hand, and pressed, "Give me some more time to get my aunt and uncle''s blessing, so that after getting married, I won''t... Let you be sandwiched between us."


    At this time, even if gu mohan liked her again, he could not guarantee that he would not get tired of facing the discord between his parents and his wife for a long time after marriage. She wanted to marry gu mohan, but also wanted to integrate into his original family.


    This point, ye zhiqiao has always insisted, every time the topic of marriage is mentioned, it is absolutely inevitable.


    Speaking of this, gu mohan understood that he couldn''t possibly persuade ye zhi to coincidentally.


    Marriage seemed to have to be postponed.


    "I''ll listen to you. We''ll get married when you think the time is right. But remember, I can wait, but I will never give up."


    Gu mohan held ye zhiqiao''s hand with his back and held her small hand tightly in his palm. His mouth was slightly raised, but it was more confident and expectant.


    After dinner and seeing that it was still early, gu mohan decided to go back to work for a while, because since he had decided to destroy the ye family, he had to make preparations as soon as possible, before the police could find out the truth and arrest ye yiyu, to complete this matter.


    Ye zhiqiao let him go to work, and she had to go to su yanbai''s appointment.


    Just as she was eating, su yanbai sent a text message saying that she wanted to meet her. It was probably the request she made last time. Su yanbai was almost thinking about it.


    It was afternoon tea time, and the coffee shop was full of people. Ye zhiqiao took great effort to squeeze up to the second floor and found su yanbai sitting on the sofa.


    Miss su, who used to drink only three figures of coffee, only had an ordinary cup of freshly ground coffee in front of her today. It looked like she could only drink a few mouthfuls, as if she could not accept the taste for a moment.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t intend to talk to her much, so she just ordered a cup of honey water, sat down and asked directly, "Have you considered it? Agree or not?"


    The last time su yanbai asked her for help, she said yes, but made a request.


    Ask su yanbai to help investigate shen molong.


    Su yanbai awkwardly picked up the coffee, touched her lips and put it down. She smiled embarrassingly at ye zhiqiao, "You know, I''m different now. I can''t get shen molong''s status now. Otherwise, if you change your request, I can agree to anything."


    Another one? You can''t pick and pick at the food market now, can you?


    "Miss su is a hundred feet worm. She''s not dead yet. No matter how powerful shen mo nong is right now, he should be nothing more than an entertainer to you. You are too ashamed to say that. But it doesn''t matter. If you don''t want to, I won''t force you."


    With that, ye zhiqiao picked up her bag and pretended to get up and leave.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Su yanbai stood up and hurriedly stopped her. She licked her lips and said, "I didn''t say no. Can we... Discuss it again?"


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and looked at her condescendingly, "I don''t have time to discuss it with you."


    Su yanbai choked. She was so angry in her heart, but she didn''t dare to show it on her face.


    Ye zhiqiao was her last lifeline. If she didn''t want to be tortured to death by gu mohan, she had to get ye zhiqiao''s help!


    "Okay! I promise you!" Su yanbai said angrily.


    "But I can only help you with your investigation. If you can''t find out, I can''t guarantee it."


    He''s dying, and he''s bargaining?


    Ye zhiqiao chuckled and shook her head, "It seems that miss su doesn''t have any sincerity to cooperate with us, so we don''t have to force her."


    Seeing ye zhi leave without turning back, she was about to walk up the stairs.


    Su yanbai finally couldn''t stand it any longer and said loudly, "I''ll check it out for you. I''ll definitely find out the result. Is this okay?!"


    Ye zhiqiao stopped and did not look back. She gently curled her lips and said, "After you give me the results, I will fulfill my promise."

 Chapter 477 A Similar Looking Old Man

    On this day, gu mohan went to work overtime at the company early in the morning. Ye zhiqiao still had a lot of vacation left, and there was no work in the design for the time being. He was too bored to eat breakfast, so he took a break and went out for a walk.


    Not far from the apartment area, a new park was recently built. It was just opened a few days ago. It was said that the environment inside was good. There were mountains, water and recreational facilities. During this period of time, ye zhiqiao had never been there.


    Wandering around the park, the environment was really quiet, very suitable for sketching. However, there was nothing new about the space and design, only the flowers and plants, and the young people probably wouldn''t like it.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head with a bitter smile, and the green leaves on her fingertips were subconsciously rotated by her.


    From her own design perspective, she felt that young people would not like it, but she enjoyed it very much. Could it be that she was old?


    Ah... It''s not even thirty yet. Why do you feel so old?


    She sighed softly. She happened to see a few stone benches in front of her and was about to walk over and sit down to rest.


    There were four or five stone benches in a row, each about two or three meters apart. Apart from what she was sitting on, only the stool next to her was occupied.


    Bored with leisure, she turned to look at the person on the other stool.


    The man was an old man, full of silver hair but full of vitality. He was wearing a loose tai chi suit and was bending down to adjust his shoelaces, as if he was about to start practicing.


    Ye zhiqiao took a look at the time and found that it was not even six o'' clock. She thought to herself that this old man was really diligent and probably a very disciplined person in life.


    After looking at the time, when he looked up from his phone, the old man across from him also straightened up.


    Seeing grandpa''s face, ye zhiqiao''s heart moved!


    This face is somehow familiar...


    But where?


    Ye zhiqiao unconsciously raised her hand and stroked her cheek. Her eyes widened in an instant!


    Why does grandpa look so much like her?!


    The curvature of her forehead, the shape of her eyes, and her slightly fleshy chin... Not just like her, but also like her mother!


    "Eh? That''s weird..." She said in surprise as she pinched her chin.


    At this time, grandpa had already untied the small bag on his waist and got up to go to the open space in front of him to play taijiquan.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to continue observing, but she was too embarrassed to stare at others. In a difficult moment, jian mengqi called.


    Why are there so many strange things happening today? Miss jian, who has been lying in bed all year round, actually called so early. It''s not sleepwalking, is it?


    Ye zhiqiao picked up the phone curiously. As expected, jian mengqi was in a daze, but she was not sleepwalking. Instead, she was trying to escape the kidnapping.


    "Zhiqiao, please help me. I can''t get up!"


    Ye zhiqiao could imagine jian mengqi''s sad face when she didn''t see her, "If you can''t get up, go back to sleep. Aren''t you almost busy at the studio?"


    Jian mengqi, who was opposite her, wailed and said, "The studio is fine. It''s me. I have something big to tell you. I can''t wait. I have to see you right away!"


    The bigger things can be bigger at jian mengqi''s place.


    Ye zhiqiao knew jian mengqi''s character and teased her on purpose, "What''s wrong? Which mall is on sale, or which partner looks amazing? But don''t be too presumptuous. Qin Baiye is always looking at you."


    "Where are you going?!"


    Hearing ye zhiqiao''s words, jian mengqi was not happy. Was she the kind of person who met and loved one?


    Besides seeing the pretty ones and looking at them more often, she had never done anything out of the ordinary. Besides, her Qin Baiye was also very handsome, wasn''t she?


    "My lady wants to buy you a meal. If you don''t appreciate it, forget it. There''s no such shop in this village!"


    Jian mengqi cocked her neck and said proudly.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately changed her smiling face, "Oh... So you want to eat? Then I''ll definitely give miss jane face. You decide the place and what to eat. I''ll just open my mouth."


    "Useless!" Jian mengqi laughed and scolded, then thought about it and said, "How about ten o'' clock? I think it''ll be a while before I get up... Hee hee."


    She called early in the morning and didn''t eat until ten o'' clock. This kind of unnecessary style really suited jian mengqi.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and finally spat out a word, "Okay!"


    Hanging up the phone, ye zhiqiao was ready to go to jian mengqi''s house and wait for her now.


    Although the appointment was made at ten o'' clock, she could hardly believe that jian mengqi could wake up before that. Moreover, with her violent temper, her servants probably wouldn''t dare to call her, so it was better for her to come and invite her personally.


    She got up and was about to leave when ye zhiqiao subconsciously looked in grandpa''s direction and saw that grandpa had already punched and was about to leave with her hands behind her back.


    But...


    She turned to look at the stone stool again.


    Grandpa''s waist is still lying on the stool!


    "Grandpa! Wait a minute!"


    She hurried over to pick up her bag, then jogged all the way to catch up with her grandfather, who had already walked a distance away, and handed it to him. Panting heavily, she said, "Grandpa, your bag has been left on the stool over there."


    As she spoke, she raised her finger and pointed to where she had been.


    Old master wang did not look where her fingers were, but looked at her and smiled kindly. A few longevity eyebrows trembled with the wind.


    Ye zhi coincidentally saw the old man''s reaction and tilted his head in a strange way.


    Only then did master wang say with a smile, "Thank you, little girl."


    "You''re welcome." Ye zhiqiao quickly waved her hand, then looked at the bag in his hand and reminded him, "You should see if there is anything missing in it. I don''t know if anyone touched it before I found out."


    Yes, not only honest and generous, but also very careful.


    Old master wang made a comment in his heart and then replied calmly, "There are only towels and some emergency medicine in here. There is no cell phone. It''s okay to lose it."


    Ye zhi coincidentally thought that it was the same, who came out for morning exercise, how could there be any valuables in the bag?


    "That''s good." She nodded lightly.


    The bag was returned and the things were not lost. Ye zhiqiao was about to leave, but the old man opened his mouth again.


    "Little girl, you are very nice. You look like a sensible child. It would be great if I had a granddaughter like you."


    As he spoke, old master wang''s eyes narrowed slightly, and the wrinkles around his eyes became heavier, making him look especially kind.


    It was not polite, but from the bottom of my heart.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly, but her heart ached for the old man.

 Chapter 478 Chatting with Her Granddaughter

    She did not understand the meaning behind master wang''s words. She thought he was just a bored and lonely old man. His children and grandchildren were all working outside, leaving him alone to face the empty house.


    There are many such public service advertisements, and recently the society has paid special attention to this kind of empty-nest old man. Ye zhiqiao''s family is different from others, so she has not encountered similar situations.


    Seeing the elegant old man in front of her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.


    Anyway, it''s still early, or... Let''s talk to this old man.


    Ye zhiqiao made up her mind and took the initiative to chat with old master wang, "Grandpa, do you come here every morning for morning exercises? Actually, I saw you do taijiquan just now. It''s very handsome!"


    Old master wang was a soldier when he was young, and he had a good physique. Every move and every move was carried with strength, so he looked good naturally.


    But the first time he heard his granddaughter''s praise, he couldn''t hide his pride and joy, and even his eyebrows trembled with joy.


    "I wasn''t here before. I just came here recently, but there aren''t many people doing morning exercises here. It''s just me. It''s boring."


    To be more precise, he knew that ye zhiqiao lived here, so he asked the driver to pick him up before dawn and ran tens of kilometers here.


    However, these words could not be told to ye zhiqiao for the time being.


    Ye zhiqiao laughed and told him, "Of course, there won''t be many people this early. The grandparents, uncles and aunts who practice in the morning usually don''t come out until eight o'' clock. You will come later next time, so you can definitely meet the army of morning exercises."


    "Oh? Really?"


    Old master wang suddenly realized that no wonder the driver had been looking at him with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping. It turned out that he had gotten up too early.


    However, his habit of being a soldier lasted until now, and he never slept in at all.


    Old people don''t seem to sleep very well, but eating more nutritious food and maintaining a peaceful state of mind will be very helpful to sleep. At least seven hours of sleep is good for your body."


    Ye zhiqiao racked her brains to list all kinds of common knowledge that she had seen to help her sleep, and she went out of her way to tell old master wang about it.


    Old master wang had only one daughter, ye zhiqiao''s mother, and he had been separated a long time ago. He had been strong all his life, but he rarely felt the warmth of his daughter.


    I didn''t expect my daughter to fail, but my granddaughter did.


    He was lost in his own thoughts and did not even notice ye zhiqiao finishing her sentence.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at old master wang doubtfully and saw that his eyes were very strange, as if looking at another person through her.


    But that gaze was not once malicious, but exceptionally gentle and kind, like the march sun.


    Grandpa, are you tired? You see, I''m busy talking to myself. You''d better go back and rest early."


    Old master wang regained his senses and smiled even more.


    This granddaughter, he was simply too satisfied. At first, he was worried that someone like ye guojun would teach his granddaughter badly, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much.


    "Okay, good boy, we''ll see you next time."


    He nodded to ye zhiqiao and strolled on with the small bag.


    Ye zhiqiao stood where she was until she couldn''t see him, then she left in the other direction.


    On the way back to the house, the smile on old master wang''s face never stopped. Occasionally, he was in high spirits and hummed a tune.


    The driver saw him chatting with ye zhiqiao just now and asked jokingly, "Old man, have you finally met your granddaughter today?"


    In the Wang family, even the most senior butler who had followed old master wang around the most years had to behave himself in front of old master wang. Only this little driver, who was also a soldier and retired from the army, was very clever and used to look at people''s faces. Sometimes old master wang did not even talk about him.


    "Not only did we see it, we talked for a long time! My granddaughter told me to pay attention to my sleep and even told me what to eat for nourishment!"


    Old master wang''s rare display.


    The driver grinned and said, "Then you have to bring her home quickly. I heard that she is in love. Maybe one day she will get married, but it won''t be your business!"


    "You''re the only one who talks too much!"


    Old master wang pretended to reprimand him, but when he thought that his child was about to get married before long, he felt a little uncomfortable.


    During this period, the butler sent a lot of people to observe ye zhiqiao''s life and work, including his conversation just now, which was considered a field trip.


    One was to determine ye zhiqiao''s identity, save some trouble, and the other was to observe whether she had bad habits. The Wang family''s family rules were strict. If ye zhiqiao had a serious flaw in character, such a granddaughter, even if he missed her, old master wang would not want her.


    Fortunately, he was very satisfied with all aspects of ye zhiqiao.


    Kind, honest, courteous, generous, even better than he expected!


    "It''s time to bring her home." He muttered to himself, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.


    He was old and couldn''t sleep at night. He was really sleepy during the day.


    In the dining room, jian mengqi was eating ice cream while looking at her watch.


    After knowing ye zhiqiao for so many years, the number of times that ye zhiqiao was late could be counted on the fingers. This time, she caught her in the act. When ye zhiqiao came, she had to laugh at her!


    Hey! Speak of Cao Cao!


    When jian mengqi looked up, ye zhiqiao happened to push the door and come in.


    "I''m sorry, I''m late..." Ye zhiqiao quickly walked over and apologized.


    How could jian mengqi let her go so easily?


    "Come on, I must have woken up when I heard your voice on the phone, but now I''m here... Did you go on a date?!"


    She suddenly raised her voice and startled ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao patted her chest and glanced at her, "Have you ever seen a date early in the morning? Make an appointment at the market?"


    "Then you..."


    "I picked up an old man''s bag and gave it back to him. I chatted for a while. It''s getting late."


    "Oh-" jian mengqi nodded clearly, "Have you gone to do good deeds? Then I believe it! You, ye zhiqiao, have always been keen to promote our traditional chinese virtues!"


    As she spoke, she was not in the right shape, and ye zhiqiao was too lazy to talk to her.


    At this time, the waiter came over with the menu. Ye zhi happened to be hungry before she had eaten. She ordered some breakfast and snacks. She looked at jian mengqi''s ice cream and thought it was good.


    After the waiter left, jian mengqi deliberately said, "I haven''t seen you eat so much before. Are you bullying people?"


    Ye zhiqiao stifled a smile and replied, "I''m here to celebrate the perfect success of miss jane''s new project!"

 Chapter 479 Talking and Complaining

    The food was all ready. The two of them chatted while eating. As they talked, the topic turned to little treasure.


    As little treasure''s godmother, jian mengqi has always been very concerned about little treasure''s illness. However, recently, the studio has been busy. She really did not have time to go abroad to see little treasure in person, nor did she have the opportunity to call often. She asked ye zhiqiao, "How is my little baby now? I heard old qin say he''s recovering well, but can''t he bring it back?"


    Ye zhiqiao paused as she ate, then sighed helplessly, "It should take some time. That virus is too active. Even after the treatment, it needs to be observed."


    "Mmm."


    Jian mengqi drummed her mouth, seemingly disappointed.


    She had thought that if little treasure returned home smoothly, then ye zhiqiao and gu mohan''s marriage could be on the agenda, and if she was lucky, maybe she could have a group wedding!


    But now it seems that there is no hope.


    "Then you and gu mohan... When will you get married?" After enduring for a long time, she still couldn''t suppress her curiosity and asked.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t expect her to mention this all of a sudden, and she looked a little embarrassed for a moment.


    However, she was glad that only her best friend, jian mengqi, was sitting here, because at least in front of jian mengqi, she could completely show her vulnerable side.


    As for marriage, gu mohan had just mentioned it a few days ago. Although she rejected gu mohan at the time and pretended to be fine after that, in fact... She had been having insomnia every night for the past few days.


    It was impossible not to feel bad in her heart. She was clearly in love, but she could not be a real husband and wife. She might care more about the barrier in front of them than gu Mohan.


    "Mengqi..." She lowered her eyes in an attempt to hide the sadness, but the tone of her voice revealed all her frailty and uneasiness.


    "I also want to marry gu mohan. Not long ago, he mentioned this to me, but I... Didn''t agree..."


    "Ah?! Didn''t agree? Why didn''t you agree?!!" Jian mengqi slammed on the table, hating the iron, and the milk in the glass was shaken out by half.


    Ye zhiqiao was not surprised by her reaction.


    Everyone thought and faced the problem from different angles. If jian mengqi stood in her position, she might really marry gu mohan regardless, but if it were her, she wouldn''t be able to do it.


    She always thinks too much and wants to be close to perfection in everything she does. She knows that the more she lives like this, the more tired she will be, but she can''t change it.


    "Auntie and uncle... They still don''t want to accept me. Although they''re not as opposed to our relationship as they used to be, if they hear that we''re going to get married, they''ll probably stop us."


    Ye zhi happened to twist the ice cream in her glass and shook her head with a bitter smile, "You know me. I don''t want such an ungrateful marriage."


    "You are a classic perfectionist!"


    Jian mengqi gave her a bad comment.


    Jian mengqi certainly could not understand that marriage was clearly a matter of two people. As long as they were in love, it would be fine. What does it have to do with gu father and gu mother?


    After marriage, ye zhiqiao lived with gu mohan, not his parents.


    But when she calmed down and changed her mind, she felt that ye zhiqiao was a little pitiful.


    Because ye zhiqiao lost her mother when she was a child, ye guojun and zhuang minjia were not good to her, so she must be particularly eager for the warmth of the family, unable to accept the rejection of her family.


    Jian mengqi was a typical woman with a sharp tongue and a weak heart. She wanted to wake ye zhiqiao up just now, but her words became comforting, "Can''t you stop thinking so much? I just want you to be happy, including gu mohan and little treasure. They must think so too. Besides, gu mohan''s parents are not good at all. They are selfish, and you don''t have to take that kind of person to heart."


    Gu father and gu mother''s character was indeed not good, if it was not for the younger generation, ye zhiqiao could not always smile at them.


    But the reality was that they were gu mohan''s parents and her parents-in-law. How could she not take them seriously?


    Even if the relationship could be slowly established, what about the family''s most important family pair?


    "Su yanbai was the one who was originally engaged to gu mohan. At that time, the su family was in its prime and could almost be on equal terms with the gu family. Although she could no longer enter the gu family, gu Mohan''s parents were still very concerned about this kind of thing."


    Ye zhiqiao was just a designer. No matter how famous she was, she couldn''t compare with gu group. Although she had a famous mengxing group, gu mohan gave it to her. She couldn''t have it for herself.


    The last thing that jian mengqi wanted to see was ye zhiqiao''s arrogant look. She immediately stared at her eyes and asked, "So what? You are also an internationally renowned designer. In your industry, your technology is top notch! No matter how powerful the gu family is, can it be done without a designer?"


    Moreover, jian mengqi firmly disagreed with such a statement!


    She stretched her arms out of the window and said loudly, "It''s the 21st century now. It''s not the tang, song, yuan, ming and qing dynasties. Freedom of marriage and love has been widespread for many years, okay? Gu mohan''s parents are old fashioned. What are you learning from them?!"


    As soon as jian mengqi exclaimed, all the diners around her looked sideways, and ye zhiqiao''s face suddenly burned up.


    Then ye zhiqiao quickly pulled her to sit down and comforted her, "Okay, okay, little auntie, big lady jian, can you lower your voice a little? It''s all up to this side..."


    Jian mengqi didn''t care whether she was being watched or not. She continued to feel sorry for ye zhiqiao, "That''s right. That old man and old lady are the most cunning people I''ve ever met. My parents don''t like them!"


    Seeing jian mengqi talking more and more vigorously, ye zhiqiao couldn''t stop her, so she had to change the topic.


    Just as she remembered the "Big deal" she said on the phone this morning, ye zhi coincidentally asked, "Hey, didn''t you ask me out for something to tell me? What is it?"


    After ye zhiqiao''s reminder, jian mengqi remembered her main purpose of coming here today, but ye zhiqiao had just complained because she couldn''t marry gu mohan, so she continued to say that... Is it appropriate?


    Seeing that jian mengqi suddenly looked embarrassed, ye zhiqiao asked, "Is it inconvenient to say? Good or bad?"


    "Good... It must be good, but..."


    Jian mengqi rubbed her hair in annoyance. She was not the kind of person who hesitated. She could not hide anything in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "I told you, don''t feel bad in your heart. I promise, you and gu mohan will have the same day!"

 Chapter 480 The Wedding of Jian Mengqi and Qin Baiye

    The more she talked, the more confused ye zhiqiao became, "What is it?"


    "Qin Baiye and I are getting married!" !!!


    "Really?!"


    Ye zhiqiao stared at jian mengqi in surprise, and after receiving a positive answer, she immediately changed into a smile.


    She was clearly overjoyed, but could not help but complain, "Marriage is a good thing. How can I feel bad? Do you know how happy I am that you can be happy?"


    "I was afraid that you would think of you and gu mohan... And suffer a blow..." Jian mengqi lowered her head and became extremely shy.


    Ye zhiqiao leaned on the table and asked, "When did you decide? Has the wedding date been set? Have you chosen the best man and maid of honor?"


    "Why are you asking so many questions?!" Jian mengqi pouted as if she was in trouble, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.


    She complained about ye zhiqiao and answered the questions one by one.


    "Marriage... I begged last night. I was so excited that I didn''t fall asleep all night. I was so sleepy in the morning that I fell asleep, but I couldn''t help but call you early in the morning. As for the time... Just a week later."


    Speaking of this, she was a little excited, holding ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and shaking it with her life, "You don''t know how sulky Qin Baiye is. He had already prepared the things needed for the wedding long before he proposed. Even the house and decoration were lying to me while chatting, so all I had to do was take wedding photos and go out to attend the wedding directly. There was nothing else to worry about!"


    Well, this is indeed Qin Baiye''s style.


    But apart from giving you a surprise, isn''t there a reason why Qin Baiye isn''t afraid that you''ll have too many problems before you get married?


    Ye zhi coincidentally glanced at jian mengqi, who started pounding on the wall excitedly, and decided not to say anything to hurt her.


    Yes.


    "What about the bridesmaids? Is that me?" Ye zhiqiao was more confident about this.


    Sure enough, jian mengqi hugged her, kissed her on the face and said excitedly, "Of course it''s you! The bridesmaid is you, and the best man is gu mohan. This is our decision!"


    Some time ago, because of the incident with little treasure, there were some small cracks between the four people, which could be used to erase those unpleasant experiences through the wedding.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled warmly and continued to ask, "So I have to choose the bridesmaid dress quickly?"


    "Don''t bother. Besides telling you the wedding news, I asked you to try on your clothes together. Qin Baiye has already picked out a few suitable wedding dresses for me. Let me try them separately and then choose them according to my preference. Where''s your bridesmaid dress? Of course, I''ll choose it with you!"


    Jian mengqi waved her hand and shouted with great vigor, "Waiter, pay the bill!!!"


    -


    A week later, the wedding.


    As the bridesmaid, ye zhiqiao stayed at jian mengqi''s house the night before. She got up in the morning to put on makeup with her, while the others naturally did not sleep anymore and circled around the bride.


    So from four o'' clock in the morning, when it was dark outside, the jian family''s villa was filled with people coming and going.


    Fortunately, it was in the villa district. If it was in a normal neighborhood, it would wake up all the residents of a building!


    However, although there were many people, someone''s voice was still superior to the others and stood out from the noise.


    Yes, that person is jian mengqi.


    Getting up at four o'' clock was torture for her. Fortunately, her usually gentle and gentle father broke out and personally took her quilt away and locked it in the cupboard, forcing her to get out of bed.


    Mother jian was different from father jian. She was usually playful and active like a child. She sat next to jian mengqi from beginning to end... Secretly wiping her tears.


    Jian mengqi got up and wiped her tears by the bed. Jian mengqi washed and wiped her tears outside the bathroom.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned at first, but then, somehow, she wanted to cry together.


    Fortunately, the busy time passed quickly. Before she could cry, Qin Baiye had already brought a large group of people to pick up the kiss.


    All the people present were acquaintances, so there was no difficulty. Qin Baiye took jian mengqi down the stairs with a casual joke. After that, a row of cars drove away and everyone went to the wedding banquet together.


    The host of the wedding was Qin Baiye''s assistant. The young man and the bride were so familiar that they couldn''t get to know each other any more. A few words of conversation were also funny. The atmosphere of the wedding banquet was very good.


    Both sides of the parents''speech was also moved and gratified, causing a vote of tears.


    When it was the bride and groom''s turn to speak, an unexpected surprise... Finally appeared.


    Qin Baiye was as calm as ever, focusing on jian mengqi.


    From the moment she took over the host''s microphone, her body began to tremble at a frequency visible to the naked eye. In order to prevent the scene from being nervous, the speech she had memorized for a long time was also forgotten by her. Even ye zhiqiao, who was standing behind her, felt her despair.


    Miss jian, who usually stood on the stage and pointed at a room full of staff, was actually nervous!


    Seeing that she was trembling and speechless, Qin Baiye immediately took her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don''t be afraid. Just say a few words and say thank you."


    Jian mengqi mechanically raised the microphone to her mouth, "Say... Thank you..."


    As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the scene!


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao looked at each other and couldn''t help but snicker.


    Qin Baiye held her forehead in frustration, but could only continue to teach her: "Finally married Qin Baiye, I am very happy, very happy, I will love him forever."


    Jian mengqi stared at him in a daze, always feeling that this was a bit like an oath, but at this moment, her mind was blank, so she could only say it to him.


    "I''m happy and happy to finally marry Qin Baiye. I''ll love him forever..."


    At the end of the last word, Qin Baiye raised his hand to cover her microphone and smiled. Leaned over and kissed her lips.


    "I love you too."


    When his lips and teeth touched, he spoke to her softly in a voice that only two people could hear.


    Then, the bride and groom exchanged rings, and the wedding finally reached its final climax - throwing bouquets.


    Under the initiative of the host, all the unmarried men and women gathered under the stage. Ye zhiqiao was forced by jian mengqi to come to everyone.


    Before turning around, jian mengqi specially searched for it, then closed her eyes and threw the bouquet back diagonally with the direction in her memory!


    Everyone''s eyes followed closely after the bouquet of flowers, and finally saw the bouquet of flowers spinning around... Fell into ye zhiqiao''s arms!!!

 Chapter 481 The Brides Bouquet

    "Woo -"


    A burst of cheers and cheers sounded.


    Ye zhi qiao stiffly held the bouquet, not daring to move, thinking that she did not even reach out, why did she run into her arms?!


    At this moment, a scream of surprise erupted from the sound system.


    Ye zhiqiao and all the people present were shocked. They looked up and saw that the nervous and trembling bride was snatching the microphone and asking excitedly, "Miss bridesmaid, are you excited to snatch my bouquet?"


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Everyone''s eyes once again focused on ye zhiqiao.


    "Exciting... Exciting." She stammered.


    Jian mengqi nodded with satisfaction, "Then may I ask the maid of honor, miss, when are you going to get married after receiving my bouquet?"


    This time, everyone looked at her curiously, but ye zhiqiao''s face was suddenly confused.


    Then, almost subconsciously, she stole a glance at gu mohan a few meters away, then quickly withdrew her gaze, holding the bouquet in place, not knowing what to do.


    Jian mengqi guessed that ye zhiqiao would react this way, but as ye zhiqiao''s best friend, she had to look at gu mohan''s attitude in this way.


    It''s okay not to get married for the time being, but gu Mohan must be sincere with ye zhiqiao.


    In the suddenly quiet venue, there were unhurried footsteps. The guests who heard the sounds turned around and stepped back to make way for their seats.


    Gu mohan walked slowly to ye zhiqiao through the passageway that the crowd had given up. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and gave her a comforting smile. Then he looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern for my fiancee and for the bride''s blessing. The date of our wedding is being decided. Although it hasn''t been decided yet, as long as Zhiqiao says he''s getting married today, I''ll get married tomorrow."


    The whole audience was in an uproar.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao''s previous relationship was no longer a secret, but later his engagement with su yanbai was also in full swing. Everyone was speculating that he and ye zhiqiao were no longer possible, but they did not expect that the two of them would actually be reconciled and have a marriage!


    Most of the guests were shocked, while the women who tried to get close to gu mohan cast jealous eyes at ye zhiqiao.


    With gu mohan''s help, the wedding ended in a happy atmosphere.


    Today, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye are first-class protected animals. Qin Baiye issued a death order to let those who want to make a wedding go to his place for free, but they must not disturb his wedding night with his new wife.


    Qin Baiye''s temper was clear to everyone, so no one dared to disturb the two of them. Instead, they went to several of his bars in groups to make a scene at the ktv.


    Gu mohan and ye zhiqiao, after saying goodbye to the two alone, got in the car and prepared to go home.


    In the car, gu mohan looked around ye zhiqiao and asked, "Where are the flowers?"


    Ye zhi coincidentally drank some wine and had something on her mind, so she was a little dizzy and did not react for a while.


    "What is it?"


    Gu mohan pinched her flushed cheeks helplessly and said in a long voice, "I said flowers - the bouquet you received -"


    Thinking of that lovely bouquet of flowers, ye zhiqiao seemed even more disappointed.


    She shook her head and forced out a smile, "I gave it to a little friend who thought it was pretty."


    "How can you give someone flowers? How unlucky!"


    When gu mohan heard this, he became unhappy and shouted to get out of the car to get the flowers back.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly pulled him back.


    "That child is about the same age as little treasure. If he hadn''t been recuperating in the united states, little treasure would have come to their wedding."


    As she spoke, ye zhiqiao''s eyes were a little moist, "Just take it as a gift for little treasure."


    ...


    Gu mohan closed the door again. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little delicate.


    In fact, he saw that ye zhiqiao was in a bad mood. Although ye zhiqiao had an impeccable smile on her face all day long, he understood that under the smile of blessing to jian mengqi, ye zhiqiao was also worried about her life.


    When she received the bouquet of flowers, her sorrow was undoubtedly pushed to the highest point.


    In the end, it was because of the marriage!


    Gu mohan didn''t want to see ye zhiqiao looking sad all day, so he decided to say, "Let''s get married! Can I start preparing tomorrow?"


    "...


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a while, but still shook her head, "Little treasure hasn''t come back yet. We can''t have a wedding without her. Besides... I feel bad when I think of her being alone abroad..."


    Xiao bao, gu father, gu mother, getting married... It seems that there are always a lot of things that have not been sorted out, and there are still more troubles waiting!


    Gu mohan felt that they could not continue like this. If they did not confirm the marriage, they might never be able to wait for the day of marriage!


    So he turned around, grabbed ye zhiqiao''s shoulder, and said to her with extra seriousness, "Zhiqiao, when little treasure''s condition is completely controlled, we will find a way to improve my parents'' attitude. At the same time, I will speed up the process of dealing with ye yiyu. These things are all done. We will get married no matter what happens, okay?"


    He had proposed directly several times before, and this time, he had planned it out, taking into account all the possibilities in the future and making a more comprehensive and reasonable proposal.


    Ye zhiqiao thought for a moment, smiled and nodded in agreement.


    Gu mohan grinned foolishly and then suddenly raised his hand to cover ye zhiqiao''s eyes. He couldn''t hide his excitement and said, "Don''t look at it for a while. Wait for me."


    "Hey! What are you doing?"


    Ye zhiqiao subconsciously closed her eyes, not knowing what he was going to do.


    Gu mohan only repeated, "Never open it, never!"


    Then, the car door was slammed open, and gu mohan''s shoes clicked. After a few seconds of silence, it was the sound of shoes again, the sound of opening and closing the door.


    In the process, ye zhiqiao was obedient and did not open her eyes, but she guessed what he was going to do.


    After getting into the car, gu mohan fiddled with it for a while, then said in an expectant tone, "Okay, open your eyes and take a look."


    Ye zhiqiao slowly opened her eyes.


    In front of them, a large bouquet of roses and a large box of chocolates were emitting a strong aura. Above them, gu mohan held a delicate ring box in his hand, and the diamond ring inside was shining brightly under the street lamp.


    As she expected, it was a "Surprise."


    Sometimes it''s not good to be too smart. Remember that one time before, gu mohan made her angry and then coaxed her according to Qin Baiye''s instructions. She had seen through everything and let him play the monkey show alone.


    But today, gu mohan wanted to confess, so ye zhiqiao took a breath and tried to look surprised, blinking the stars at gu Mohan.

 Chapter 482 Ye Zhiqiao Accepted the Proposal

    Gu mohan took out the ring, put it on her finger with ye zhiqiao''s hand, and leaned over to kiss it.


    Zhiqiao, I''ve been preparing this ring for a long time. You might have thought that I was on a whim when I mentioned marriage to you a few times, but in fact, every time I brought this ring with me, I would take it out and put it on you as soon as you nodded..."


    He closed his eyes and chuckled, shaking his head, "I thought I wouldn''t be able to send him out today. Fortunately, you promised. Otherwise, I would be depressed for a while."


    Ye zhiqiao only guessed that he had prepared a surprise, but never thought that he had prepared this surprise for so long!


    Recalling the previous rejections, gu mohan''s expression was still clearly etched in her mind.


    Disappointment, chagrin, forbearance, tolerance... Those things that she had deliberately and ruthlessly overlooked were so important!


    "Mohan..."


    She called his name with countless heartaches.


    Gu mohan, however, only waved his hand and smiled casually, "It''s okay, it''s all over. You''ve already promised me, haven''t you?"


    Ye zhiqiao already knew that he valued feelings and was always stupid in his feelings, but she didn''t want him to be so stupid... So stupid that she felt guilty.


    If she still doesn''t agree to him today, when will he wait and how many times will he be rejected?


    "Can''t you just take it out and tell me?!" Ye zhiqiao could not help but complain.


    Gu mohan smiled even more foolishly, "I don''t think you would like to propose on the street. It''s no different than forcing someone to do something like that. I respect you, so even if it''s a proposal, I have to say hello to you first."


    He was right. If he really made a public proposal, ye zhiqiao would feel uncomfortable even if she was afraid that he would lose face and agree to it.


    It was the first time ye zhiqiao found out that he knew her so well.


    "So you promised me? If you accept the ring, you have to marry me. You can''t change it for the rest of your life!"


    Gu mohan was still worried and couldn''t help but confirm again.


    Ye zhiqiao teased him, "If I don''t want this ring, can I change people? Change to someone taller and more handsome?"


    "Of course not!"


    Gu mohan refused and immediately raised his eyebrows, "You''re not that shallow. Besides, I''m tall and handsome enough! I''m still good to you, loving you and loving you. You''ll never find another person in the world who loves you like me, I promise!"


    These words... Are considered confessions?


    Ye zhiqiao narrowed her eyes, but how come she had never heard of a man who boasted instead of praising him when he confessed?!


    Forget it, let''s leave those unimportant things aside first. The future husband''s iq and eq are not as good as ours, maybe it is good for the harmony of family life after marriage!


    Ye zhiqiao blinked her eyes and smiled. She looked helpless and said, "For the sake of your sincerity, choose you!"


    The person who will spend the rest of his life together will choose you!


    When she decided to marry gu mohan, ye zhiqiao could move into gu mohan''s villa completely. When she broke up with the ye family before, there were some things left in the ye family that had not been moved in time. Now that ye guojun was determined to break off the relationship, there was no reason for her things to stay in the ye family.


    So the next morning, ye zhiqiao went back to the ye family villa and prepared to pack up all her traces.


    Out of courtesy, she greeted ye guojun in advance before coming over, but after she entered the door, she met ye yiyu head-on.


    Ye yiyu was obviously waiting for her here on purpose, and immediately showed a familiar disgusted expression when she saw her.


    "Yo! Who do I still think it is? Isn''t this the big sister who I put on a chicken feather to become a phoenix?!"


    Recently, the ye family was very miserable by gu mo han, and ye yiyu naturally felt angry, but even if there was no such thing, she would not give ye zhiqiao any good face.


    Ye zhiqiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and was about to go upstairs.


    "Stop!"


    Ye yiyu dashed in front of her and looked at her sideways with her chin raised, "This is my home. You are a man who was swept out by his father. What right do you have to come in?! Take another step. Believe it or not, I warned you to break into your house and let you have a taste of prison!"


    "I''m here to take my things away, and I''ve already said hello to... Your father in advance. Don''t worry. I''ll just take my things and leave as soon as I can. I won''t stay for another second."


    Ye zhiqiao calmly looked at her and asked, "Can I go up now?"


    Ye yiyu stopped her in order to vent her anger, but she didn''t expect that not only did she not vent her anger, but she was also refuted by the other party!


    Her temper could not be tolerated, and then she shouted angrily, "You should have left a long time ago! No, get out! You should have gotten out of the ye family! My family doesn''t welcome you at all. I''ve hated you since I was a child. I wish you would die soon! Ungrateful dog! Bitch!"


    Ye yiyu had been a bitch for a long time. Ye guojun and zhuang minjia had spoiled her since childhood, so ye zhiqiao was always the one who took the blame.


    In the past, ye zhiqiao didn''t do that because she was magnanimous, but because she was different from her parents, and now, ye zhiqiao was no longer a member of the ye family, and these rules could no longer restrain her.


    "Keep your mouth clean, and build up for yourself and for your parents."


    Ye zhiqiao still looked at her like that, and her tone was calm, but her words were cold and indifferent, which she had never heard before, "The reason why the ye family has become like this has nothing to do with your arrogance and jealousy. Even you have ruined the ye family step by step. I''m sure I won''t be able to go back to the glory days of second miss ye, but if I don''t want to look even uglier in the future, I''d better be honest and behave myself with my tail between my legs."


    "This is your last piece of advice as a sister."


    After that, ye zhiqiao bumped open ye yiyu''s shoulder, who was still in a daze, and slowly walked up the stairs with her head raised and her chest raised.


    Standing on the second floor, ye zhiqiao looked around with the armrest.


    This may be the last time in her life that she has returned here.


    The place where he had lived since he was a child, even though it was later contaminated, still had the best memories.


    Before her mother died, her mother would teach her how to recite ancient poems while watering flowers in the garden. She would accompany her to watch cartoons on the sofa at the peak of the sun. She would suddenly carve a small flower on a carrot with a knife while cooking in the kitchen.


    At night, when her father came back, the family of three sat around the table to eat and talk about the fun of the day. Occasionally, her parents would open a bottle of red wine, but she could only pout and suck in juice.

 Chapter 483 Old Master Wang Appeared in the Ye Family

    They often went out for an outing, laying a tablecloth over the sparkling lake in the park with endless snacks and fruits.


    ...


    At that time, there were always countless joys until her mother passed away and another woman came in to replace her mother.


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and broke away from her memories.


    Ye yiyu was still standing there and staring at her fiercely. She turned around, wiped away the tears that she did not know when, and pushed the door open to enter the room.


    As she had expected, no one had cleaned the place since she left, and the floor and furnishings were covered in dust.


    Fortunately, the items were still in their original positions and were not searched or maliciously damaged.


    There was not much to take away, she only prepared a suitcase.


    She didn''t need any clothes or accessories, just toys from her childhood, drawings from school, and gifts from her friends.


    After installing it, she walked around the room and finally came to the bedside table.


    There was a lamp, an alarm clock for Doraemon, and a photo frame on the bedside table.


    She reached out to pick up the photo frame, and the young woman on it had a gentle, tranquil, and moving smile.


    That''s her mother.


    She once had a fight with ye yiyu because of this photo.


    That was the only time she fought with ye yiyu when she was fifteen.


    At that time, ye yiyu sneaked into her room and wanted to take her essay as her own and hand it to the teacher. While searching, ye yiyu saw the photo on the cabinet.


    Then, there was an earth-shattering cry.


    Ye yiyu sat on the ground, clutching the photo in her hand and looking extremely aggrieved, tugging at ye guojun to let him judge.


    Dad, look, sister purposely put other people''s photos here just to make my mom feel bad. My sister''s mother is dead. Why would she make my mother unhappy? My mother treated her so well, why did she target my mother? Sister, she''s a wolf with white eyes and a wolf''s heart. Dad, don''t like sister!"


    This is the original words of ye yi language. For so many years, ye zhiqiao remembered it very clearly.


    She did not believe that this was something a 12-year-old girl would say, but the person who taught her to say this stood aside, wiping away her tears with tears, and even she would be soft-hearted when she saw it, let alone ye guojun?


    At that time, she took her father seriously. In order not to embarrass ye guojun, she cried and apologized to zhuang minjia. She even said "I''m sorry" to ye yiyu, who came in to steal things.


    But ye yiyu refused to let her go easily and insisted that she tear up the photo.


    Of course she didn''t agree. Ye yiyu did it herself!


    That night, the wound on ye yiyu''s head bled a lot and she was sent to the hospital for stitches. From then on, she and the other three people in the family couldn''t even maintain the superficial peace.


    This story was very similar to the cinderella that her mother told her when she was young, but ye zhiqiao, who was lying in her mother''s arms, never thought that this story would happen to her.


    Fortunately, cinderella had found her own prince. From then on, she could leave her stepmother and sister and run to the prince.


    Ye zhiqiao took a long breath and felt relieved.


    She glanced at the alarm clock. The prince was still working at this time. Cinderella had to pack up her things and go home quickly, then wait for the prince to get off work and have lunch together!


    Close the bedroom door and cut off everything in the house.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled the suitcase and turned around, only to find that the door of the villa was open and seemed to have a visitor.


    The limousine opened the door and reflected a halo in the sunlight.


    She stopped unconsciously, curious.


    The car was worth a lot, and the people on it must be very expensive. But with the current situation of the ye family, how could such a person come to visit?


    In confusion, the car door was opened.


    The bodyguard in black blocked her. Ye zhiqiao didn''t see who it was until the man came in. She opened her mouth in surprise.


    How could it be... That old man?!


    She met her grandfather in the park a few days ago!!!


    At that time, when she saw his figure and temperament, she knew that he must have been a big shot, probably in business and political circles, but at that time, she only talked to him because of an accident, and did not take the opportunity to climb up, so she did not ask the other party about his career.


    Now it seemed that her guess was right.


    But why did this old man come to the ye family? Was he in contact with ye guojun, but why didn''t she know about it? It was reasonable to say that ye guojun had such an imposing friend in the business world. It was impossible not to show off to his family!


    His mind was getting more and more confused, and he couldn''t figure out what was going on!


    Ye zhiqiao shook her head and stopped thinking.


    Anyway, she was no longer a member of the ye family. Who did the ye family associate with and what kind of friends did ye guojun have to do with her?


    In order to avoid causing trouble, ye zhiqiao decided to leave here as soon as possible.


    Carrying the suitcase down the stairs, ye zhiqiao''s arm was a little sore. When she put down the suitcase, she made a small noise. Old master wang and ye guojun, who were talking in the living room, looked over together.


    At that moment, old master wang and ye guojun showed completely different expressions.


    Old master wang still smiled kindly and waved at her to let her pass. At first, ye guojun seemed a little embarrassed, then he snorted with a dark face and turned his head away in anger.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the two of them in confusion and smiled awkwardly. Finally, she said to old master wang, "Grandpa, please continue talking. I won''t bother you."


    Seeing that she was about to leave, old master wang quickly explained, "It''s about you, son. Come and sit down."


    About her?!


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and walked over in a daze.


    Old master wang asked her to sit next to him and then said to ye guojun, "I was worried that taking the child away would hurt you and your family. Now, it''s a good thing."


    Old master wang didn''t tell ye zhiqiao the truth. First, he was afraid that she would not be able to accept it for a while. Second, he was worried that it would destroy the relationship between ye zhiqiao and his daughter and cause trouble for them.


    However, when he got up this morning, he happened to hear that ye guojun was going to expel ye zhiqiao from his house. Although he was shocked, it was a very suitable opportunity for him.


    So he rushed over immediately after breakfast and, out of courtesy, informed ye guojun of his thoughts.


    From the moment he saw master wang, ye guojun''s face had never looked good.


    Although he was a former father-in-law, there was no contact between his ex-wife when she was still alive. After his ex-wife died, there was no contact between the two families.

 Chapter 484 Grandfather and Mother

    Now, old master wang came to him when he was about to expel his ex-wife''s daughter from the house. It was inevitable that he would be suspected of deliberately embarrassing him.


    And from what happened just now, ye zhiqiao seemed to have known old master wang a long time ago. Old master wang also proposed to take ye zhiqiao home, which made ye guojun even angrier.


    "It turns out the two of you have already agreed on this, but you have fooled me around!"


    Ye guojun was so angry that he couldn''t care less about old master wang''s status.


    In his opinion, it was because ye zhiqiao found her rich and powerful grandfather that she went against him everywhere, broke off her relationship with him, and forced him to break it off himself!


    This evil son, he already knew that she was not a good thing!


    Without waiting for master wang''s reply, ye guojun had already pointed the finger at ye zhiqiao and scolded him, "Are you satisfied now, ye zhiqiao? No, your surname shouldn''t be ye. Didn''t you already sell yourself to someone else''s house?! He always pretended to be pitiful. Outsiders thought it was my ye family who had wronged you, but what about the truth?!!"


    He glanced at old master wang and continued, "So we worked together to plot against me! Now that the ye family has fallen and is on the verge of becoming a rotten tree, you have quickly found yourself a good family, and you have forgotten your roots when you climb into the famous family. You have wasted your life!! How did I give birth to a daughter like you?!"


    Ye guojun cursed without thinking. Ye zhiqiao had no idea what had happened.


    All she knew was that her grandfather had said something he couldn''t understand, and then ye guojun began to bite like a mad dog. It was none of her business. Even a man as old as his grandfather was complaining about him!


    Even if they were not members of the ye family and dared to scold him like this, ye zhiqiao would not let him do it and would choke back with a cold face, "Don''t you feel guilty saying that? Besides giving me my life, what other things did you do for a father?! You..."


    "Zhiqiao."


    Before ye zhiqiao could finish, master wang raised his hand to stop her.


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned and slowly turned her head, "Grandpa, how do you know my... Name?"


    If all that had happened before could be considered a coincidence, but now that old master wang had personally called out her name, she had to think too much.


    "Zhiqiao, my surname is wang. You shouldn''t call me grandpa. You should call me grandpa."


    After master wang said this, she was completely stunned.


    A while ago, Wang Butler suddenly came to the door, the old Wang family man who was looking for his granddaughter, the "Chance encounter" and conversation in the park, and now the old man wang appeared in the ye family, ye guojun''s embarrassment and anger...


    All of this seemed to be connected by a string, bringing ye zhiqiao to see the truth.


    At this moment, master wang slowly opened his mouth to tell ye zhiqiao things she did not know.


    Wang family used to live in the southernmost part of china, thousands of kilometers away from your city, but your mother had always been longing for the snow in the north, so she chose this school when she was in college, regardless of her family''s objections.


    She also met your father in college.


    Our family''s ancestors were all military and treated their younger generation very strictly. I don''t mind her dating in college, but I definitely don''t agree with her dating a boy so far away from home. But she was very stubborn, and once again, despite the opposition of her family, she stayed in this city after graduation and secretly married your father with her household register.


    It was too far away and I was very angry and disappointed at her behavior, so in the years after she got married, I didn''t see her again. When she came back, I didn''t see her either.


    After that, I received the news of your mother''s death. "


    Speaking of this, old master wang''s eyes were a little moist. He took several deep breaths to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and then continued, "From then on, I decided to move my family business here. It took me a lot of time. After everything was done, I wanted to find you, even if I couldn''t bring you home, and let you know that my grandfather was still here.


    Just because of what happened before, my relationship with your father was not very good. Since your mother has passed away and your father has set up a new family, I can''t disturb you because of my own selfish desires, so this delay will take years. "


    When old master wang finished speaking, the living room suddenly became silent, and even the good-looking ye guojun did not speak.


    Ye zhiqiao thought, perhaps at this moment, he also remembered the woman who accompanied him throughout his youth, stole the household register for him, ran the small family for him, and gave birth to his first daughter.


    Ye zhiqiao believed master wang''s words and believed it.


    Such a stubborn and brave woman who would give up everything in order to pursue her love was her mother!


    "Grandpa..."


    For the first time, she was not used to calling him that, but old master wang''s pleased expression gave her the courage to continue.


    "Grandpa, you said you didn''t come to see me because you were afraid of disturbing me. Then why..."


    Old master wang sighed a little tiredly, his eyes showing a feeling of seeing through everything, "I''m old. People in old age always value family ties. I didn''t believe it before, but I believe it now."


    He touched ye zhiqiao''s hair and looked at her with a faint smile, "Grandpa is the only family in the world. I really don''t want to close my eyes and sleep with the world too lonely."


    I have seen the prosperity of most of my life, but in the end, I still miss home the most.


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes were filled with tears and she bit her lips and nodded.


    At this moment, a sharp voice broke the warm atmosphere at the wrong time!


    Ye yiyu quickly ran down the stairs, looked at old master wang, and then stared at ye guojun and asked, "Dad, is what he just said true? Is he ye zhiqiao''s grandfather?!"


    Ye yiyu had been hiding at the corner of the stairs to eavesdrop on their conversation. When she heard that ye zhiqiao was actually a Wang family person, she felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue!


    I thought the ye family had chased ye zhiqiao away. In the future, ye zhiqiao could only rely on men to live, but I don''t want to run out of a rich man at this time, saying that I am ye zhiqiao''s grandfather?


    How can there be such a good thing in the world? Why did ye zhiqiao take all the good things by herself?!!


    But even if she was not convinced, the fact that ye zhiqiao was the granddaughter of the Wang family could not be changed.


    Ye guojun nodded perfunctorily and asked her to stay upstairs.


    How can ye yi speak?


    Now that the ye family is so virtuous, ye zhiqiao left with a pat on her buttocks. Should this poor family be left to her, ye yiyu?


    "I''m not going upstairs. Where is ye zhiqiao going? I''m going too!"

 Chapter 485 Ye Zhiqiao Went Home with Grandpa

    When ye yi said this, old master wang, ye zhiqiao, and even ye guojun were stunned.


    "She... Your sister is the granddaughter of the wang family. You are not. What are you going to do?" Ye guojun was ashamed to say that.


    Ye yiyu was indignant and said, "Ye zhiqiao has lived in the ye family for so many years. She heard me call her sister for so many years. Why should she leave now? What did she give to the ye family? What did she give me?! In any case, I can be with her!"


    Let''s not talk about the number of times she called ye zhiqiao sister, or the number of times she called ye zhiqiao a slut. Just now, she was the one who told ye zhiqiao to get out of the ye family quickly, but now it came out like this, it was si ma zhao''s heart!


    Old master wang did not react or even look at her. Instead, he sat on the sofa leisurely and indifferently, as if he had been used to seeing ugly people all his life. Now that he looked at them again, he was not interested at all.


    When ye guojun saw this, he snapped, "Shut up! What are you talking about? Hurry back to my room and get messed up here!"


    What a joke! Who is master wang? Ye yiyu dared to blackmail people in front of him. Isn''t that brainless?!


    Ye guojun rarely reprimanded ye yiyu like this, let alone in public. Ye yiyu seemed to realize that he had asked too much, so he turned away in hatred and did not say a word, but his heart was still full of resentment.


    Seeing that ye guojun had taken care of his family affairs, old master wang spoke again.


    This time, he directly asked ye zhiqiao for advice, "Zhiqiao, grandpa has sent someone to clean up the house, and your room has been arranged. Would you like to go home and stay?"


    Master wang had originally planned to leave from ye guojun to find ye zhiqiao, but he did not expect to meet her here, saving him the time to make another trip.


    At first, ye zhiqiao planned to move to gu mohan''s house, but since grandpa asked, it was okay to change the plan.


    After all, she and gu mohan were not married yet, so it was not appropriate to move into his house in advance. She had made a hasty decision before because she was chased out by the ye family. Now that she had met her grandfather, she should naturally go back to her mother''s house and accompany her grandfather who hadn''t seen her for more than 20 years.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled at old master wang and said, "Okay, I''ll go home with grandpa."


    Sitting in the car, ye zhiqiao suddenly remembered gu mohan who was still at work.


    If gu mohan didn''t see her when he got home from work, he might think that something had happened to her at the ye family and that it would be trouble again.


    So she turned her head and asked, "Grandpa, can I make a phone call?"


    Old master wang guessed who she was going to call and nodded with a smile.


    "Hello? Mohan, are you off work?" Ye zhiqiao kept her voice as low as possible for fear of disturbing master wang.


    Gu mohan agreed on the other end, "Not yet. In about... Ten minutes. What''s wrong? What happened? Is the ye family troubling you?"


    He originally planned to accompany ye zhiqiao to the ye family today, but ye zhiqiao insisted on going back alone. He couldn''t beat her, so he had to bring his heart back to the company.


    "No, I have left the ye family." Ye zhiqiao quickly reassured him.


    Gu mohan smiled, "That''s good. Wait for me at home. Tell me what you want for lunch. I''ll buy it together after work."


    "I..."


    Ye zhiqiao slowly looked at old master wang and saw that the other party was also looking at her with interest. She was immediately embarrassed.


    How should I tell gu mohan about this now? I went home to pack my things, and then I met my grandfather?


    This is not a movie!


    Ye zhiqiao grinned awkwardly and then tried, "Mohan, do you remember... The last time I told you that... Wang Butler?"


    "I remember." He gave her half a day''s worth of knowledge. "Why, is he looking for you again?"


    Ye zhiqiao hooked her forehead, "No, it''s not Wang Butler. It''s master wang."


    "Master wang?!"


    Gu mohan was stunned and asked, "He... Still thinks you''re his granddaughter? Don''t worry about it. If you can''t handle it, just wait for me. I''ll go back now!"


    Gu mohan''s voice was a little loud, and he could hear it clearly in the closed and quiet carriage.


    Old master wang felt as if his future grandson-in-law had misunderstood something. From the tone of his voice, why did it seem like he was coming to fight with him?


    Ye zhiqiao also heard it and looked at old master wang with a smile and tears, then decided to explain the whole story to gu mohan as soon as possible, otherwise, there might be some misunderstanding.


    "Don''t be nervous. What I want to tell you is... Actually, master wang is my grandfather."


    Gu mohan paused as he opened the door, "What did you say? Grandpa?! A kiss?"


    This question... Was raised with great skill.


    Old master wang and the driver in the front row couldn''t help but laugh.


    Ye zhi skillfully used the tone of encountering an idiot to affirm, "Of course it''s a kiss!"


    Gu mohan still didn''t dare to believe it, because ye zhiqiao denied it in such a determined tone the last time!


    "Zhiqiao, think about it again. Are you sure that master wang is the biological father of the deceased aunt?"


    What a mess!


    Old master wang shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly, "I heard that this prospective grandson-in-law is a talented man with outstanding business skills, but his brain seems to be..."


    The problem with being a soldier was that he liked to talk straight. The driver in the front row laughed so hard that he fell back and forth. Grandpa wang hit the back of his head before he started driving again.


    Ye zhiqiao''s face also "Teng" red, thinking how the more critical moment the more embarrassing to her?!


    Anyway, she was done with what she had to say, so she hung up the phone. Before hanging up, I didn''t forget to say, "I''m going home with my grandfather. You can eat by yourself at noon!"


    Looking at his timid granddaughter after hanging up the phone, old master wang still wanted to tease her.


    "This grandson-in-law is good. I can see that he cares about you very much. It''s okay to be silly. As long as he treats you well, grandpa will be fine."


    What? Why are you talking about this?


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head in embarrassment to defend gu Mohan, "He''s either stupid or surprised to hear the news all of a sudden."


    "Oh, really?"


    Old master wang gave a casual answer and smiled happily. He didn''t know whether he heard it or not.


    At the entrance of the Wang family mansion, master wang and ye zhiqiao hadn''t arrived yet, but gu mohan arrived early.


    He had already thought about what ye zhiqiao said on the way here. In short, ye zhiqiao suddenly had a grandfather, so he also had a grandfather, and it seemed that the grandfather was very good to ye zhiqiao, so he had to be filial and earn his grandfather''s love!

 Chapter 486 Grandson-in-laws First Visit

    However, the first time he came to the door, he met with a little trouble.


    At the entrance of the wang residence, the two guards stood up straight with their guns in their hands, their military ranks hanging from their shoulders.


    That''s right. Old master wang used to have a high position in the army, and even when he retired, there would be guards on duty.


    Before gu mohan could get closer, one of the guards raised his hand and asked loudly, "Stop! Who are you looking for?"


    "I''m here to visit master wang. I''m gu mohan. I''m ye zhiqiao''s fiance." As he spoke, gu mohan planned to take out his business card.


    The guard said directly, "Master wang hasn''t come home yet. Just stand there and wait. Don''t come any closer!"


    Gu mohan felt like he was in prison for a while after being ordered by the guards.


    However, since they said that master wang didn''t come back, he had better continue to wait outside. There must be good manners. His future wife''s grandfather''s house must not be invaded.


    Just like that, under the autumn tiger at the end of august, gu mohan stood across the road and stood up with the guards at the front of the wang family.


    It wasn''t until half an hour later that master wang''s car appeared at the intersection.


    In fact, he could have come back earlier, but when he saw a shopping mall halfway, old master wang insisted on bringing ye zhiqiao in to buy something.


    Ye zhiqiao tried her best to stop him and finally persuaded master wang not to buy those four or five figures, only two bags of snacks.


    The car did not stop and was about to drive into the courtyard. Ye zhiqiao looked out of the window and saw gu mohan, who was all red from the sun.


    Why is he here?!


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked and quickly asked the driver to stop the car.


    Old master wang also noticed that gu mohan was stopped by the guards at the gate and followed ye zhiqiao out of the car.


    When did you come here? Why are you standing at the door? Look at the sweat on your head!" Running to gu mohan''s side, ye zhiqiao quickly took out a tissue to wipe his sweat.


    Gu mohan stopped her and pulled her to his side, bowing to old master wang who was walking towards him.


    "Hello, master wang. Junior gu mohan is zhiqiao''s boyfriend. The first time we met, we only prepared a small gift. Please accept it."


    With that, gu mohan placed his hands in front of him and looked at master wang with a proper smile.


    Old master wang still had a kind face, but he gave ye zhiqiao a strange look.


    Ye zhiqiao immediately came to her senses and secretly poked gu mohan''s waist with a stifled smile. "Where''s bo li? Just say no. You want to write a blank check?"!"


    Only then did gu mohan remember that the gift was still lying in the car, and he suddenly became embarrassed and went to get it in a hurry.


    Old master wang didn''t really want to see his present. He just felt that his grandson-in-law was stupid and wanted to tease him. Seeing this, he straightened it out and said, "All right, all right. Just let the housekeeper take the present in later. It''s hot outside. Let''s go inside."


    After that, he nodded slightly at gu mohan, turned around first and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.


    Inviting him in, and being so kind, is that acknowledging him?


    Gu mohan was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled ye zhiqiao, who was still laughing non-stop, to follow through the door.


    In the living room, the servants left after serving tea and snacks. Only Wang Butler stood by old master wang and waited for his orders.


    As a junior, gu mohan first briefly introduced his family and career to old master wang, then stated his feelings for ye zhiqiao and his future plans.


    In the end, he turned to little treasure.


    He had long wanted to tell ye zhiqiao about little treasure.


    Some time ago, because the timing had been inappropriate, he endured for a long time. He planned to confess to ye zhiqiao at noon today, but he did not want old master wang to suddenly appear.


    However, this is good, old master wang is now ye zhiqiao''s only relative, this kind of big event should be told.


    "I also have a daughter. Her name is gu ruoxi and her nickname is xiao bao."


    Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao and then said to old master wang, "Little treasure was born to a surrogate mother. Zhiqiao already knew this. She was very good to little treasure, and could be said to treat him as her own. But today, I want to tell a truth that even zhiqiao doesn''t know in front of master wang."


    Old master wang had heard about gu Mohan''s illegitimate daughter a long time ago. Although he was not sure whether it was true or not, he was surprised to hear him admit it.


    However, after ye zhiqiao''s mother''s matter, he no longer treated the marriage of his younger generation as demanding. As long as ye zhiqiao liked it, as long as gu mohan could give ye zhiqiao happiness, the rest was not so important.


    But ye zhiqiao was very surprised to hear that. She thought she had been honest with gu mohan for a long time. What else did gu mohan have that she didn''t know?


    Afraid that she would get too excited later, gu mohan took her hand in advance and said slowly, "Actually, little treasure... Is your daughter, our daughter." !!!


    Ye zhiqiao''s pupils suddenly dilated and stared at gu mohan unblinkingly, as if she didn''t hear what he said.


    Little treasure... Was actually her daughter?


    How is that possible?!!


    "No way, don''t talk nonsense. Little treasure is not you and the surrogate mother..."


    A second ago, she could barely squeeze out a smile, but when it came to "Surrogate mother," ye zhiqiao''s face finally froze again.


    Xiao bao was born to a surrogate mother, and ye yiyu said that five years ago that night, she sent her to the bed of a man who paid for a surrogate mother!


    Everything seemed to be clear...


    Five years ago, she mistakenly thought that she had miscarried a five-year-old baby.


    The first time they met at the airport, little treasure pounced on her lap. Ever since then, the two of them have been together, as close as a family.


    Little treasure grew up with a strange illness and could only eat liquid food. After meeting her, he recovered inexplicably.


    Little treasure''s blood type was very special, and she had the same blood type that could be used to transfuse little treasure.


    Like to draw, like to eat meat, like to green, calm and smart occasionally but very stubborn...


    Little treasure, like a copy of her.


    Isn''t that the best proof?


    The people around him were so familiar that they didn''t even notice such a wonderful connection!


    Ye zhiqiao fell silent, covering her mouth and shaking her head.


    Her daughter, who was so worried about her, had always been by her side. She should have laughed, but now she was crying so hard that she could not speak.


    Gu mohan took her into his arms and said softly, "I was afraid you wouldn''t be able to accept it, so I struggled for a long time before I decided to say it, because the longer it took, the more you would suffer."


    Old master wang could hear everything clearly as he sat across from her. Seeing his granddaughter crying like this, he was happy and distressed for her, so he could only ease the atmosphere and say, "It''s a good thing to find your granddaughter and have a great-granddaughter. It''s a good thing. It''s a good thing!"

 Chapter 487 Correct Ye Zhiqiaos Name

    Wang Butler, who was standing by, smiled and agreed, "Yes, my lord is now living in the same house as the fourth generation. It''s fu ze. Sir and miss, if you have time, you must bring little treasure over and show it to the master."


    Gu mohan naturally agreed, "Little treasure''s health is not very good, and he is currently being treated abroad, but he should be back soon. When she comes back, zhiqiao and I will definitely bring her to see her great-grandfather."


    Old master wang asked about little treasure and said that he could find several familiar military doctors to treat him if necessary.


    Then, he mentioned the marriage between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao.


    "You guys are not young anymore, and you have a deep relationship with each other. Now that Zhiqiao knows that little treasure is his own daughter, it''s time to get married."


    Gu mohan smiled and said, "Zhiqiao and I had this intention long ago, but there are still some things..."


    Father and mother gu''s attitude towards ye zhiqiao was not good. This should have been a problem solved by him as a man, but his parents pressured him, so he couldn''t go against his parents, so he wronged ye zhiqiao. But how could he have the face to tell such a thing to ye zhiqiao''s grandfather?


    But if this matter was not resolved, ye zhiqiao would always be hesitant about getting married.


    Seeing his discomfort, ye zhiqiao wiped away her tears and said to old master wang, "And my problem. I don''t get along well with Mohan''s parents. If we get married, I don''t think the two elders will agree."


    Is there such a thing?!


    From the start of investigating ye zhiqiao, master wang knew that she was a quiet and elegant girl. Logically speaking, such a girl should be very popular with the elders. How could she not get along well with gu mohan''s parents?


    Although gu fu and gu mu were a generation younger than him, ye zhiqiao now had no father and no mother. He was the only elder. If they were really married, he and gu fu and gu mu would be in-laws, so in terms of etiquette, he had to stand on gu fu and gu mu''s side and say that his granddaughter was not.


    So he put down his smile and said seriously, "Why is this happening? Zhiqiao, did you do something wrong? Mohan''s parents are your elders. You should be filial."


    Seeing that old master wang had some misunderstandings, gu mohan quickly explained, "It''s not like that, old master. Don''t blame Zhiqiao. In fact, the main reason for this is the responsibility of my parents and me."


    "Why do you say that?" Old master wang was puzzled.


    Gu mohan lowered his head slightly, and a look of shame appeared on his face, "My parents are so old-fashioned that they insist that my marriage must be well-matched. Because of this, Zhiqiao has suffered a lot."


    He pressed ye zhiqiao''s hand and then apologized, "It''s my fault. I should reconcile the relationship, but I always did nothing."


    Ye zhiqiao understood his dilemma, so how could she blame him?


    Old master wang was also a man of great righteousness. He immediately understood the twists and turns and said on the spot, "It doesn''t matter. Your parents think that Zhiqiao''s background and position do not match yours. This is human nature, but now that Zhiqiao has a grandfather like me, it should be enough to match your gu family. Well, I''ll take the time to personally come to your house and explain the situation to your parents, and I''ll also send out a report to correct zhiqiao''s name."


    It has always been a matter of the man''s family. How could old master wang, as an elder, come to the door himself?


    Gu mohan quickly stopped him and said that he wanted his parents to visit him.


    He did not want to, but was firmly rejected by master wang.


    After seeing gu mohan off, the butler said to old master wang with a clear smile, "You still have such a hard temper. You have to pay a visit in person. In addition to justifying miss''s name, what''s more important is to help miss vent her anger, right?"


    Anyone who values his or her status must look at people with colored glasses. Since even gu Mohan admitted that ye zhiqiao had been wronged, it could be seen how bad his or her attitude towards ye zhiqiao was.


    His granddaughter, old master wang, couldn''t even feel the pain. How could he let outsiders bully her for nothing?


    He wasn''t going to the gu family to find a fight, but to personally come to the door and give the other party a slap in the face was always needed.


    "Only you talk a lot."


    He glanced at the housekeeper and then at ye zhiqiao, whose eyes were red.


    Although gu father and gu mother were not very good, gu Mohan was a good child. There was no need to say anything about being polite. The most important thing was that he dared to apologize directly in front of him and admit that gu father and gu mother were not good to ye zhiqiao, instead of hiding everything, which was enough to prove his respect and love for ye zhiqiao.


    Master wang waved and called ye zhiqiao to his side. He gave her a cup of tea and said, "Drink some water. Don''t feel bad. I am very satisfied with gu mohan, the grandson-in-law. After I straighten your name, your wedding can be arranged. Don''t worry, grandpa will give you the best dowry. Our Wang family girl will never be wronged."


    Complete love, even no bottom line of love, this feeling, ye zhiqiao in the past only experienced in her mother, and now, grandpa will do the same to her.


    No wonder someone said that security comes not from love, but from favoritism.


    Her grandfather''s preference for her was like giving her the whole world, in which she could swim as much as she wanted, as if she could get all the support she could spare no matter what she did.


    The tears that she had just held back fell again, and she threw herself into her grandfather''s arms. For the first time, tears of joy filled her eyes.


    With master wang''s orders, the next morning, ye zhiqiao made the headlines of all the major newspapers and websites. Even the local news set aside a period of time to broadcast the news that ye zhiqiao was the granddaughter of the Wang family.


    For a while, the Wang family and ye zhiqiao became the subject of a frenzied discussion among the citizens, so that the news that ye guojun had earlier released about ye zhiqiao being expelled from his home was completely ignored by the public, not even stirring up a wave.


    From this report, ye zhiqiao''s life seemed to have finally passed the darkest and most difficult period, with luck turning and peace turning.


    In addition to her granddaughter of the Wang family, the treatment period for little treasure was finally over, and his condition improved. He was transferred back to the domestic hospital and entered the final stage of recuperation.


    After that, old master wang personally came to visit the gu family.


    In order to make a difference from the etiquette of the marriage proposal, master wang did not bring ye zhiqiao, but only brought the butler down to the gu family under gu mohan''s guidance.


    Gu father and gu mother saw the news, but they did not believe the truth of the incident, thinking that it was gu mohan''s little trick to make them let go.


    Therefore, when old master wang entered the room in a big fight, both of them were so shocked that their mouths could not close. They even forgot to call the servants to serve tea. It was only when gu mohan reminded them that father gu stuttered and asked old master wang to sit down.

 Chapter 488 Gu Mohan and Ye Zhiqiao Got Engaged

    "Well... I wonder why master wang came to my humble abode."


    Father gu rubbed his palms and looked at mother gu with a nervous smile.


    Compared to them, Mr. Wang seemed much more at ease as a guest.


    "I can tell that Mr. And Mrs. Gu are straightforward people. I won''t beat around the bush and just say it."


    He raised his hand, waited for the butler to put a file on the table, and then continued, "I came here today specially for my grandson ye zhiqiao and your son. I heard that Mr. And Mrs. Gu had some dissatisfaction with my granddaughter before. Of course, this must be zhiqiao''s fault, so I, as a grandfather, had to personally come to the door to apologize for zhiqiao."


    Every word master wang said was a slap in the face of gu''s parents.


    Not to mention that one of his elders personally came to apologize to his parents, it would be a big joke to spread it. Just saying "It must be zhiqiao''s fault" was enough to embarrass them.


    They knew better than anyone about what had happened before. Ye zhiqiao had repeatedly shown her kindness and tried to hold back. What was wrong with that? Clearly, it was their husband and wife who did not like ye zhiqiao''s family background that hindered them.


    But now it seems that they are lifting a stone to hit their own feet, ye zhiqiao is not cinderella, but a golden phoenix that fell into a chicken nest!


    Now the phoenix has returned to its nest!


    Although Wang family does not have as many businesses and businesses as the gu family, it also ranks first in the country, and the most important thing is that the Wang family has a military background.


    The gu family''s weakness has always been its lack of contact with the political world. With the help of the Wang family, the gu family would be invincible!


    So how could they be dissatisfied with ye zhiqiao now? They could not wait for gu mohan to marry this lucky star into their family sooner! When they entered, they did not dare to treat them as casually as they used to, so they probably had to put them in the buddhist shrine to provide for them!


    Listening to what master wang said just now, he seemed to be angry. Father gu guessed that he was being unfair for ye zhi, so he lowered his attitude even more and flattered him, "What did master wang say? Zhiqiao is a good boy, how can we not be satisfied? Do you think so?"


    He pushed his mother and motioned for her to say something.


    Mother gu was not stupid, so she quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, I have long seen that this girl zhiqiao is a lucky girl. Indeed, she is a noble person, just right for us, Mohan!"


    Previously, he thought that the door was not the right one, but now it is just right?


    Without a word, old master wang turned around and smiled at gu mohan without saying a word.


    Wang Butler stepped out at the right time to add tea to old master wang. The master and servant cooperated well and tore down mother gu''s stage on the spot.


    Gu mohan had long been dissatisfied with gu''s mother''s support, so he did not speak for her.


    Father gu quickly kicked his mother in the ground. He thought to himself, why is this woman so silent? Marriage has always been a matter of the man taking the initiative, and more to lower his attitude, but when gu mother said this, instead of gu mohan praised the heavens, then the woman''s family can be happy!


    "Hehe, madam and I only have one son, Mohan. We really don''t have any experience in managing our marriage. Please don''t be offended, master wang." He laughed dryly and pretended to serve tea to old master wang.


    Given the power of the horse, the other party was smart enough to admit his mistake, so there was no need to embarrass people, everything had to stop.


    Old master wang raised his hand to stop him and smiled warmly again, as if nothing had happened just now, "Don''t say that, Mr. Gu. This is the first time the old man has done such a happy thing. There are some places that you and Mrs. Wang need to forgive."


    Speaking of which, the matter between gu mohan and ye zhiqiao was approved by both parents.


    Father gu hurriedly followed the conversation and said, "Since master wang is also satisfied with Mohan, it''s better to choose a day than a day. Why don''t we settle the marriage of the two children today?"


    "Of course, of course."


    Old master wang nodded with a smile.


    At this moment, gu mohan interjected, "Mom and dad, there''s one more thing I haven''t told you, but little treasure''s background. She''s actually my daughter and zhiqiao''s daughter."


    Father and mother gu were not close to little treasure, and ye zhiqiao had been taking care of him all the time. Subconsciously, they had already put little treasure and ye zhiqiao together, so they were not too surprised to hear the news.


    If you want to talk about the biggest shock today, ye zhiqiao''s background is the only one.


    However, this way, little treasure also has the blood of the Wang family, and gu father and gu mother also put on a surprised smile and exclaimed in unison, "There is such a coincidence?! The recent joyous events have all hit the same spot!"


    Old master wang was quite satisfied with their attitude and nodded with a chuckle.


    Gu mohan and Wang Butler also smiled. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was filled with harmony and joy that had not been seen for a long time.


    When she received a call from gu mohan reporting the good news, jian mengqi was by her side. She opened her voice and forced gu mohan to agree to the treat before finally giving up.


    Then ye zhiqiao and gu mohan chatted briefly and hung up the phone.


    Today, jian mengqi came to congratulate ye zhiqiao on leaving the bitter sea of the ye family and returning to the Wang family successfully. She did not want to hear such good news again. Looking at her happy appearance, it seemed that she was happier than ye zhiqiao.


    But ye zhiqiao didn''t find it strange at all, because that was what jian mengqi was like.


    Back then, when she was bullied by zhuang minjia''s mother and daughter, despised by ye guojun, lost her child to study abroad, and encountered all sorts of difficulties, jian mengqi, who was far away from home, was even sadder than her. Every time she saw her lose weight in video chat, she would cry loudly and save money for snacks and cosmetics to help her.


    To meet a friend like jian mengqi in her life, ye zhiqiao felt that it must be the fortune she had saved up in several lifetimes!


    In order to reward jian mengqi, ye zhiqiao decided to take her to a delicious meal in advance and prepare for the wedding after a period of time.


    Her bridesmaid must be jian mengqi, so the two of them are probably busy these days.


    At this time, in the Yi''s group, su yanbai was still working hard to cooperate with ye zhiqiao.


    Yi shaozhi seemed to really give up on her. She allowed her to run to the yi group every day, leaving early and returning late more punctually than the employees of the yi group, but yi shaozhi would never see her again.


    Seeing that gu mohan was about to get ready for the wedding, he would definitely get rid of his troubles as soon as possible before then, so su yanbai''s life was getting more and more difficult. If she could not get the news of shen monong from yi shaozhi, then she might be killed by gu mohan''s people!


    When life and death are at stake, a powerful force is always aroused.


    With this kind of strength, she stopped yi shaozhi''s car when he deliberately took a detour to work from the back door.

 Chapter 489 Shen Munong Used the Same Trick Again

    Because of her determination, su yanbai rushed over without caring. Yi shaozhi couldn''t stop and scraped her to the ground.


    Although it was nothing serious, yi shaozhi finally couldn''t bear it and took her to the office.


    In the cold office, the potted plants on the windowsill had withered and withered, if yi shaozhi''s heart.


    He turned around, put his hand in his trouser pocket, and said emotionlessly, "For the last time, tell me what you want me to do for you."


    This was the last time he helped her, the last time he was soft on her, and after that, he completely broke up with her.


    Facing such an indifferent yi shaozhi, su yanbai hesitated for a moment, but this was the only chance. She was not a person with backbone, so she mumbled, "I want to know... About shen molong."


    Yi shaozhi chuckled speechlessly and raised his eyebrows, "Even now, you still want to hurt people?"


    Shen mo long had already become a hot female star because of the accurate timing of the scandal. At this time, su yan bai struggled to find out about shen mo long, and yi shaozhi naturally thought that she was not willing to give up and wanted to destroy shen mo long.


    Su yanbai smiled, but her smile was sad and helpless.


    This was all her fault. It was normal for her to be looked down upon and misunderstood, wasn''t it?


    "Tell me. As you said, I won''t come to see you again." After laughing, she looked up and returned to her original stubborn and shrewd gaze.


    Yi shaozhi nodded and sat down in his office chair.


    "What you want to know must be something she can''t see through. In that case, I''ll tell you the most disgusting thing."


    He smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes suddenly turned cold and disgusted, as if there was something disgusting in front of him.


    "Fake pregnancy."


    -


    A few weeks ago, not long after gu mohan and ye zhiqiao returned home, shen monong went to the united states again because of the announcement, but it was not known whether the announcement was arranged by the company or whether she requested it herself.


    In the united states, she naturally had to meet her nominal boyfriend, yi chen.


    Because yi chen rejected this relationship from the bottom of his heart, there was no form of contact between them during shen mo thick''s return. Shen mo thick took the reason that no news for a long time would be suspected of the authenticity of the relationship by outsiders, and half forced yi chen to stay in the hotel overnight, forcing the chips of course still those photos.


    But yi chen never expected that this vicious woman, shen mo nong, would do the same thing and put a drug in his water!


    When yi chen woke up the next morning, he repeated the nightmare in the photo.


    He was in a daze and did not remember what had happened that night, but a few days later, shen monong actually brought a pregnancy certificate!


    Staring at the thin piece of paper, yi chen''s face turned white.


    It was already his limit to be in love with shen mosheng. Now that he had such a child, how could he accept it?!


    "Knock it off."


    He sat down on the sofa with cigarette butts scattered all over the floor.


    "Knock it off?!"


    Shen mo stroked his stomach and stood up abruptly, "Do you know how much trouble I would cause if I went to the hospital as a big boy? Are you going to ruin my life?!!"


    Yi chen sneered and looked at her like a fool.


    "Do you want to give birth to the child? You wouldn''t be born to ruin your reputation?"


    Shen mocheng looked away, picked up his arm, and drummed his fingers uneasily on his forearm for a while. Then he glanced at yichen''s reaction and pretended to say casually, "I want to get married."


    As long as she''s married, it doesn''t matter whether her children are born before or after marriage, and as long as she marries into the yi family, her status as a popular actress will no longer be of any use. At that time, as long as she is the second young madam of the yi family, she and her father will have no worries for the rest of their lives.


    "Impossible!"


    Yi chen refused, "I won''t marry you. I can promise anything but this."


    He only had ye zhiqiao in his heart, and even if he really had no fate with ye zhiqiao in the end, he would never take a fancy to shen monong!


    Shen mo long seemed to have been insulted.


    "Why can''t you marry me? Am I not worthy of you? I am now a popular female star, I married to your Yi family, it is a dowry! Do you understand marrying down?!"


    She rolled her eyes in anger and continued to say aggressively, "Besides, isn''t it all your fault that I''m pregnant? Since you can''t control yourself, you have to bear the consequences like a man!"


    Not to mention this is fine, thinking of that night yi chen was full of anger, just to see that she was also very pitiful and gave her face, I did not expect that she would be shameless to say it out!


    Since this was the case, yi chen no longer had any scruples and said in a deep voice, "I couldn''t open my eyes that night. I slept the next day for a whole day. Don''t you know the details better than I do?! Wrong? Whose fault did you say it was?!"


    When she drugged someone, it was naturally shen monong who ignored her. Just now, she was too anxious, and her mind would twitch and her words would come out of her mouth.


    Yi chen is her only high branch now. If she really makes yi chen angry, she can''t even cry.


    So she had to give up on her original idea and soften her voice, "I''m pregnant. Sometimes I can''t control my temper when it comes up. Don''t worry about me. Or... Or else, you and I should take a step back, not get married first, or I should... Abort the baby."


    Yi chen asked in surprise, "Really?"


    "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Shen monong pursed his lips, his face revealing, "But it must be very troublesome to get rid of the child. Besides, the follow-up treatment and recuperation will cost a lot of money. Do you have to... Compensate me for that money?"


    It''s all about money.


    "Ha..." Yi chen sneered, "How much do you want?"


    "Ten million."


    "How much? Ten million?!!" Yi chen suddenly bounced off the sofa.


    The last time he used a few photos to deceive him into going in for three million yuan, and now he wants another ten million yuan. Is it really a big deal for a lion to open his mouth and take their yi family as a big enemy?!


    Yi chen reminded expressionlessly, "In an ordinary well-off family, ten million can have a child and support it for half a lifetime, you know? Now that you''re hitting a child, you want so much money?"


    Shen mo nong naturally spread out his hands, put on an innocent expression and said: "I am not an ordinary person, I am a star with tens of millions of fans, a large number of domestic and foreign big brands are waiting for me, with ten million to buy my children and time, is it expensive?"


    This was shen monong''s values. Everything could be measured by money and he was always greedy.

 Chapter 490 Ye Zhiqiao Explained the Truth to Father Yi

    Yi chen snorted and said scornfully, "Your fans are buying your bill, but in my opinion, you are just a pair of broken shoes. You can''t even compare yourself to those eighteen actresses who sell themselves. They''re at least dedicated to their work. They only sell themselves. You even threaten them with drugs and use all kinds of dirty tricks!"


    Seeing that yi chen was being pushed by him, shen mo burst out laughing in a good mood.


    Because yi chen was in a hurry, it proved that he had no way to deal with her, so what about sarcasm and abuse? The money in hand is real.


    Just as shen monong was delighted with her upcoming success, the assistant suddenly opened the door and walked in.


    Shen mo nong immediately resumed her role as a close girlfriend. She walked up to yi chen and put her arm on his shoulder.


    Yi chen moved his body in disgust, but said nothing.


    The assistant looked at them and thought they were getting sick of each other. He said with envy, "Sister mo nong and Mr. Yi have such a good relationship. It''s really enviable."


    Shen mo smiled with pleasure and propriety, as if she were a bosom sister, "You will meet your true son too."


    "I guess there''s no chance." The assistant smiled heartily, then took the notepad and told shen mo long about the next few days'' notice.


    Shen molong nodded after listening, "I see."


    The assistant promised to turn around and drive away. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to remind her, "By the way, sister mo nong, I saw that you came today. There''s a program on the beach this afternoon. Don''t go into the water. Otherwise, your stomach hurts like last time. For several days..."


    As he spoke, the assistant''s voice became quieter and quieter. Finally, he stopped and stared at Mr. Yi in a daze. He did not know what he had said wrong that made him suddenly look gloomy.


    On the other hand, shen monong''s face was already ashen.


    Yi chen used to mingle with women. "That''s coming" and he couldn''t get into the water. He immediately understood what was going on.


    He couldn''t tell if the test report was true or false, but he still knew the general knowledge that he wouldn''t "Come over there" when he was pregnant!


    "Shen munong!!!"


    He turned his head to look at shen monong, his eyes sinister, but shen monong did not even dare to raise his head.


    Thanks to the sudden appearance of an assistant, yi chen was able to know the truth before he was completely deceived by shen mo long.


    And shen mo thick''s big lie was broken in person, so naturally, he had no face to continue to be by yi chen''s side. That day, he pushed all the notices and slipped back to the country.


    Their relationship was naturally broken.


    -


    "Xiao chen later told me about this, and the last time shen mo nong threatened him with three million, he wanted me to keep an eye on shen mo nong to prevent her from getting angry and doing anything to hurt the Yi family."


    Yi shaozhi finished the story and looked at su yanbai again as if he had accomplished something. Finally, he reminded her, "Shen monong is not a good person. She has a lot of dark spots in the past, but she has a lot of interest chains around her now. In your current situation, it''s best to think twice before doing anything."


    "Well, your goal has been achieved. Let''s go. Never come again."


    Su yan bai opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but eventually nodded and left.


    The last tail of summer also slipped away, and the bleak autumn sun dragged over. The fallen leaves on the roadside had just been cleaned and fell to the ground in an instant. The servant shook his head helplessly, put down the broom and prepared to do other work, and no longer paid attention to this annoying leaf.


    "Is Mr. Yi there?"


    A gentle voice came from behind. The servant turned around and saw ye zhi holding a few boxes of gifts in her hand, smiling politely.


    "Yes, I''m just about to go in. Come with me."


    The servant opened the door and led ye zhiqiao into the courtyard.


    In the living room, Father yi invited ye zhiqiao to sit opposite.


    After the unpleasant meeting last time, both of them were a little embarrassed.


    It was ye zhiqiao who smiled apologetically and said first, "Master yi, I asked someone to ask about yi chen after I went back last time. I think you have some misunderstandings about yi chen."


    Father yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? You and him..."


    Father yi thought yi chen and ye zhiqiao had contacted again.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly denied, "No, no, no, I want to tell you about yi chen and shen monong."


    Father yi was not satisfied with ye zhiqiao''s contact with yi chen, but he was even more dissatisfied with the actor who climbed up yi chen, so he nodded and picked up the teacup, signaling ye zhiqiao to continue.


    "The last time you called me here was because of a rumor on the internet, but the truth is, that rumor was actually directed and acted by shen molong."


    "You said she was going to expose your affair with her boyfriend?"


    Father yi obviously didn''t believe it.


    Ye zhiqiao motioned for him to calm down, "Everything I said is true. As for the reason why shen monong did such a strange act, I guess it was for money, because after that incident, she took three million yuan from yi chen to give it to her father. Shen Qingyuan invested it again and made a lot of money."


    Yi chen was startled when he heard this and seemed to have thought of something.


    At first, ye zhiqiao''s words were just an excuse, but when it came to three million, he was very impressed.


    Because yi chen just went to the branch office not long ago, he was worried and secretly checked the accounts. One day, he suddenly found that there were three million less in the account. He asked yi chen, but made yi chen angry. After that, he still did not know where the three million went.


    Now it seems that he was deceived by that actor!


    "It''s not just a scam, it''s also a drug and a threat." Ye zhiqiao continued to expose shen mo nong''s evil deeds and said, "After getting three million, shen mo nong was not satisfied. Not long ago, she took the opportunity to go to the united states on a business trip and drugged yi chen to stun him. Then, one night later, she tricked him into getting pregnant and wanted to threaten yi chen to marry her or give her ten million yuan."


    "Ah?! There''s such a thing!"


    Father yi never expected a woman to have such a vicious heart, and his son was driven to the brink of despair, but he repeatedly called to reprimand.


    No wonder recently, yi chen has obviously become estranged from him, and his relationship with his son has almost been stifled by the actor shen mo long!


    Ye zhiqiao saw the situation and advised, "It''s a good thing that everything has passed. Yi chen found out that shen mosheng was fake pregnant, and shen mosheng did not dare to continue to pester you. You and yi chen are father and son, how can there be a feud overnight? Everything will be fine."


    Ye zhiqiao came to visit with a gift and told the truth, which was very generous. At this time, she was also very considerate, which made Father yi a little embarrassed.


    Thinking of the harsh words he said to the girl last time, Father yi apologized remorsefully, "Uncle didn''t understand the situation clearly before, so he blamed you for all the mistakes. I''m really sorry. You must not hate uncle."


    "What did uncle say? There''s something wrong with me, too." Ye zhiqiao smiled and said generously.

 Chapter 491 A Call with Yi Chen

    A few weeks later.


    It was autumn, and the evening wind was a little harsh, as if it was winter.


    It was almost a year before ye zhiqiao returned home.


    This year, she had met many people and experienced many things. Now that she thought about it, it was like a lifetime ago.


    Sitting alone by the french window, looking at the silent sunset and the land, her heart was at peace.


    Tomorrow is the wedding, and later in the evening, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye will come over to open the last single body for her and gu mohan, to celebrate everyone finally walking into the "Grave" of the marriage."


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and chuckled. She thought of the colorful expression on Qin Baiye''s face when jian mengqi said this.


    She did not know whether marriage was a grave or not. She only knew that as long as the person around her was gu mohan, she would follow wherever she went.


    "Ringling -"


    She picked up the phone next to her and the number on the caller id came from a faraway place.


    She picked it up and said with a faint smile, "I knew you would definitely call."


    "Really?" Yi chen also smiled, a little reluctant but also from the heart: "When did you know me so well?"


    Ye zhiqiao said "Yes" without answering.


    Yi chen cleared his throat and continued, "I heard my old man say that you went to find him... Thank you."


    Because of the scandal between yi chen and shen monong, the relationship between Father yi and yi chen was once deadlocked. Father yi thought that yi chen would not change his mind, but yi chen was suffering. As a man, he really didn''t want his old father to worry about him, so he always kept silent.


    If ye zhiqiao hadn''t taken the initiative to explain the situation to yi father, perhaps the estrangement between father and son would never have been cleared up.


    Ye zhiqiao nodded, "Then I will accept it. That day uncle yi told me that he was really angry with you, so I took it for granted."


    A half-jokingly sentence finally made the atmosphere natural.


    Yi chen repeatedly said yes, and then asked shen monong.


    "How is she? I didn''t bother you, did I? You see, I''m too busy to go back to the country for a while. If anything happens to shen monong, I can''t help you."


    Shen mo nong has been in a terrible state recently.


    Father yi and ye zhiqiao now have a good relationship, but he is also a vengeful person, shen monong threatened his son, and caused a rift between him and his son, how could he avoid her?


    On the second day of ye zhiqiao''s visit to Father yi, Father yi contacted people from all walks of life and exposed all of shen mo nong''s actions. Although shen mo nong had the support of a brokerage company and several rich men behind him, with gu mo han''s help, father yi pulled her down from the platform without any effort.


    Falling from a height, the internet was full of swearing, and several major news outlets even criticized the current chaos in the entertainment circle. For a moment, everyone in the circle was in danger, and the responsibility naturally fell on her.


    After his reputation was ruined, he had no choice but to retire.


    Since then, shen monong''s name only exists in people''s memory, and he only bears the name of curse!


    Her father, shen Qingyuan, was no better than her.


    Investing in foreign countries in the name of the private sector, taking advantage of many years of unauthorized means to gobble up a large amount of company funds, only to grow up eating the food of other people''s homes. In the end, he plotted to bite back. Naturally, his wife and his wife''s family could not spare him.


    He was forced to resign as the president of the Shen shi group and all his savings were frozen. As for whether he wanted to leave the house clean or not, it was up to his wife to be nostalgic about him. But even if his wife was kind enough to spare him this time, from now on, he was going to live the life he hated the most shamelessly - soft food.


    "Don''t worry, the Shen shi father and daughter are now in trouble. We are all safe."


    Ye zhiqiao''s tone was relaxed, completely different from the worry of the time when yi chen left, as if it had finally cleared up and ushered in a rare sunny day.


    "That''s good." Yi chen nodded with satisfaction and continued to talk about the second purpose of the call: "We''re getting married tomorrow, right?"


    Ye zhiqiao knew that he would definitely bring it up and replied calmly, "Yes. Although you can''t come to the wedding, you must have a portion of the wedding candy. It''s already been mailed to you. Remember to pick it up."


    "Okay."


    Yi chen agreed.


    No matter how much she said, it was useless. They both knew in their hearts that if she was happy, he could not be a villain anymore.


    "I''m not such a vulgar person, but I still have to say something vulgar. I wish you happiness."


    Then he hung up.


    "Zhiqiao? What about ye zhiqiao?! Come out and judge me!"


    Ye zhiqiao had just closed the line, and before she could even get sentimental about yi chen''s tone, jian mengqi''s call came from the living room.


    She took a long breath and smiled bitterly as she ran out of the room.


    It turned out that when she called, gu mohan, jian mengqi and Qin Baiye had already entered the door, but they didn''t know what was going on.


    Jian mengqi was furious, her hands were on her hips, and her nostrils were "Huffing" and she was fuming. Qin Baiye''s face was a little awkward and his lips were pursed into a straight line, but he had always been happy and angry, and at this time, it could be seen that he was a little aggrieved and helpless. Gu Mohan, on the other hand, leaned against the door, grinning as he watched the show.


    Seeing ye zhi coincidentally come out, jian mengqi and gu mohan rushed over. Although Qin Baiye did not come over, his eyes looked like he had something to say.


    "What''s wrong?" Ye zhiqiao asked in a daze.


    Gu mohan raised his eyebrows and asked her to listen to jian mengqi.


    Jian mengqi held ye zhiqiao''s arm tightly, but her almond eyes glared at Qin Baiye angrily. She said loudly, "I just want to be ye zhiqiao''s maid of honor. If she does, I must be her maid of honor!"


    The matter of jian mengqi being the bridesmaid had been settled for a long time. Ye zhiqiao looked at this posture and thought, is it Qin Baiye who didn''t want her to be the bridesmaid?


    Qin Baiye sighed, walked towards ye zhiqiao and explained helplessly, "I can make it clear to you that mengqi is not reasonable at all..."


    "Who are you calling unreasonable?!"


    Qin Baiye opened his mouth, and jian mengqi was so angry that he had to admit his mistake and then rearrange his words, "I didn''t say I didn''t want mengqi to be the bridesmaid. She misunderstood..."


    "How could I possibly misunderstand you?! It''s clearly because you''re not at ease!"


    Once again, jian mengqi interrupted Qin Baiye and put a crime on his head.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was becoming more and more confused, gu mohan had to stop jian mengqi and stifle a smile to explain to ye zhiqiao.


    "I''ll tell you what. Now that Qin Baiye let jian mengqi bully her, she has no family status at all."

 Chapter 492 The End Is Also the Beginning

    "It''s actually a good thing. Miss jian is pregnant. It is said that it has been two months. Qin Baiye was trying to persuade her to be honest at the scene tomorrow, not to run around just because she was the bridesmaid, or to" fight" with people bravely. But miss jane misunderstood. She insisted that Qin Baiye didn''t want her to be the bridesmaid. What do you mean? Are all pregnant women unreasonable? Were you like this when you were pregnant with little treasure?"


    Ye zhiqiao''s attention was drawn to the matter of jian mengqi''s pregnancy. She didn''t have time to pay attention to gu mohan''s teasing. Instead, she grabbed jian mengqi and said in surprise, "Are you really pregnant?"


    At this moment, jian mengqi showed a bit of shyness and nodded with a red face.


    Qin Baiye''s heart ached at the sight of it. If only jian mengqi could be so gentle in front of him, it would be great. But the reality is, at home, jian mengqi is just a little wild cat, no, a tigress!


    Although the wedding was a happy event, the scene was noisy and there were many places that needed the best man and bridesmaid. Even if they tried their best to protect her, jian mengqi would not rest at ease, so ye zhiqiao did not agree with her being the bridesmaid.


    Sensing ye zhiqiao''s thoughts, jian mengqi quickly voted in her heart and said, "I must be the bridesmaid. It''s useless to stop him! Ye zhiqiao, I warn you, if you dare to say that you won''t let me be the bridesmaid, I will break up with you! Absolutely!"


    "...


    Not to mention, jian mengqi''s outburst really scared the other three people.


    Jian mengqi''s temper was a little bad, and her jokes were also ridiculous, but this sentence, which she had known for more than ten years, was definitely not said more than three times.


    For a moment, ye zhiqiao did not dare to confront her.


    "Okay, no one said they wouldn''t let you be. They just wanted you to be honest and pay attention to your own situation." Qin Baiye stood up and said.


    Since Qin Baiye had said so, ye zhiqiao couldn''t refuse any more, so she went forward and hugged jian mengqi. She was touched and said, "You''re all going to be a mother, and you''re still scaring me with a break? The bridesmaid is yours, and no one else can take it away. Put your heart into your stomach and take good care of my godson or goddaughter."


    Being coaxed like a child by everyone, jian mengqi was embarrassed and muttered, "Maybe twins."


    The next day, the wedding.


    The wedding of gu mohan, the president of the gu group, and ye zhiqiao, the future heir of the Wang family, would surprise everyone just by making their name known.


    The guests present that day were all rich and famous businessmen from political circles, and the most conspicuous of them were the wang, gu and yi families in the first row.


    There were three families sitting in the town, and the wedding banquet was peaceful.


    When jian mengqi saw them backstage, she joked, "These old people are sitting together. They really have the meaning of a house treasure!"


    Qin Baiye glanced at her, then grabbed her and walked up the stage.


    As the best man and bridesmaid, both of them held ring boxes in their hands and watched as gu mohan and ye zhiqiao put rings on each other, before they slowly stepped back.


    Gu mohan held ye zhiqiao''s hand tightly and his ring flashed on his ring finger.


    "We''ve known each other since then, and we''ve had more ups and downs than good times, but the most... Is happiness. You rejected my proposal because you were afraid you wouldn''t get the blessing, but now look..."


    Gu mohan stretched out his arms and smiled confidently and contentedly at the venue, "Everyone is blessing us!"


    "Woo! I wish you a happy reunion for a hundred years!!"


    "Love between husband and wife! Give birth to your son early!"


    "Lovers get married and must be happy!"


    ...


    The venue was filled with excitement, and the young people all stood up and shouted out a bunch of auspicious words.


    In the lively and warm atmosphere, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help crying.


    "Thank you... I am very happy, really very happy..." She could not care about the image, her makeup was crying, and then plunged into gu mohan''s arms.


    Because there, she was not afraid of anything.


    While a festive wedding feast was being held in the city''s top venue, a few other places not far away, coupled with the weather at this time, were gloomy.


    The ye family mansion.


    "Hurry up and move. I don''t want those things. I won''t be able to catch the bus later!" Ye guojun urged breathlessly.


    Zhuang minjia bent over and replied angrily, "Aren''t you going to find a few more people? When have I ever done such heavy work? You''re killing me!"


    "Is it free to find someone? Don''t you know what''s going on at home? If you want to move, you can move. If you don''t want to move, you can throw it away! Anyway, there''s nothing easy about this miserable day. If you don''t want to stay, get out of here as soon as possible!"


    "Hey hey hey, my life is so bad -" after ye guojun taught me a lesson, zhuang minjia sat on the ground and cried, without any image of a normal lady.


    That''s right, she''s not a lady anymore.


    Gu mohan revealed the whole story of the kindergarten incident, and ye yiyu was imprisoned. This time, ye guojun could not save his favorite daughter, but because of what ye yiyu did, the ye family''s reputation was ruined, and the ye family went bankrupt, and the ye family fell from grace.


    The house in front of him, the city in front of him, he couldn''t afford to stay any longer. He could only pack up his last possessions and live in a small third-tier city.


    The su family.


    Su yanbai packed her luggage, took one last look at the room where she had been living since she was a child, smiled absent-mindedly, and turned around to go downstairs.


    The situation of the su family was better than that of the ye family. With su pan''s ability to support them, they could barely hold on, but su yanbai had nowhere else to live.


    Because of her cooperation with ye zhiqiao, she cleared the matter of hurting little treasure, and gu mohan''s people no longer chased her, but yi shaozhi did not want her, with her and bai zixuan''s dirty things, and no other man would want her, except to leave, there was no other way.


    Su yanbai considered herself a proud person. Even if she had fallen to this stage, the only humiliation she had suffered in her life was from bai zixuan.


    So the only thing that made her happy was what happened to bai zixuan.


    Because he had hurt ye zhiqiao, the Wang family oppressed bai zixuan completely. His small company was gone, and he couldn''t find any job. It was barely enough to live. This... Maybe was the retribution for doing bad things.


    All that was left was the autumn wind, the fallen leaves, and the setting sun.


    Walking on a familiar and unfamiliar street, she suddenly remembered the day she first met gu mohan.


    She had heard of gu mohan for a long time and relied on her brother su pan to go to the thank you banquet prepared by gu mohan. When she ate, she knew that he already had a girlfriend, but she still tried to seduce him.


    Now think about it. If she put herself in the position of her sister, she might become good friends with gu mohan. Maybe she was still the second miss of the su family.


    On second thought, she had nothing left.

 Chapter 493 There Was an Accident in the Middle of the Wedding

    "Well, I would like to invite the two newlyweds to give a speech and exchange wedding rings!"


    After the host''s high-pitched voice fell, the microphone was delivered to the bride, ye zhiqiao.


    She was holding the microphone, feeling extremely heavy.


    This day, this moment, was not just an ordinary encounter in life, but a precious memory that had taken five years, through all kinds of dangerous hardships, to hold in his hand.


    This will be the most memorable moment of her life!


    He wanted to say too much, but he didn''t feel the need to.


    Because there was no need for outsiders, and the person she wanted to tell him already understood.


    She looked at gu mohan with tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were full of smiles. After thinking for a while, she finally thought of what to say, "Gu mohan, I never seem to have said I love you to you. This is the first time. Listen carefully."


    "I love you, every one of you from the first time I met to the present. I love you, every one of you, happy, sad, angry, and depressed. I love you, as little treasure''s father, the only person I love in my life. I love you."


    As the voice fell, there was a round of warm applause. Gu mohan blushed shyly and did not take the microphone she handed over. Instead, he leaned over and kissed her on the side of her lips.


    In the noisy environment, he took the opportunity to get up and whispered to her, "I love you too."


    Standing up straight, gu mohan took the microphone and said to her through the speaker, "I love you."


    The second time was for the wedding guests, and the first time was for his wife.


    Ye zhiqiao knew his little thoughts too well, and her cheeks immediately became hot.


    After that, gu mohan held the microphone upright, ready to start his vows, but at this moment, the audience''s mother was holding his cell phone and waving at him desperately!


    Gu mohan was taken aback.


    This is a marriage! How could he step down halfway to answer the phone?!


    Ye zhiqiao also noticed mother gu''s movements and looked at gu mohan without any trace, asking him what happened?


    Gu mohan shook his head slightly, his face blank.


    Ye zhiqiao hesitated for a moment. If mother gu was in such a hurry, there must be something urgent. Normally, she would persuade gu mohan to go to work first, but now... There was only one wedding in her life, and she just wanted to be selfish this time, so that gu mohan would completely belong to her.


    Gu mohan stared in the direction of his mother, holding the microphone in his hand but not speaking. The guests were all looking around and whispering, guessing what had happened.


    Seeing that the situation had been delayed and that mother gu was about to run up to the stage with her cell phone, gu mohan had no choice but to hurriedly say, "Excuse me, everyone, just a moment."


    Then he put the microphone in ye zhiqiao''s hand, nodded at her, turned around and quickly walked off the stage.


    Ye zhi qiao held the microphone and stood alone in the middle. The spotlight hit her and she looked helpless and pitiful.


    Off the stage, mother gu pulled gu mohan out of sight of the guests and shoved her phone into his hand, "Hurry up, Mohan. President li just called several times. He said that there was a problem with a project that he recently worked with and insisted on talking to you alone."


    Li''s group is a big company that is no less than gu''s. It has been cooperating with gu''s for a long time, and each cooperation is a big project that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars. Gu mohan personally handled all the business dealings in the past.


    Gu mohan turned to look in ye zhiqiao''s direction and said anxiously, "Can''t we talk after the wedding banquet? And you and dad can decide for me. Zhiqiao is still on stage alone!"


    After that, he turned around and was about to go back.


    Mother gu grabbed him and said, "Do you think I would like to call you at this time? It''s that Mr. Li who is not sure what''s going on. When I told him you were at the wedding, he kept pestering me. He said that if I don''t see you before 12 o'' clock, all his cooperation with the gu family would be completely cut off!"


    Nearly half of gu''s capital is invested in the partnership with li''s. If li''s withdraws suddenly, the impact on gu''s will be devastating!


    However, the president of the li group has always been domineering and unreasonable, so it''s not surprising that he said this.


    It doesn''t matter if he says it. If he does, it''s over!


    This time, gu mohan was really in a dilemma. One side was the wedding and the other was the company. He hesitated and didn''t know what to do.


    Mrs. Gu couldn''t stand it any longer and suggested, "The wedding is halfway through. The guests and the media have seen it. Even if it''s a formality, it''s the same to come back and toast when you''re done talking, but president li can''t wait. If you''re married and without the company, can ye zhiqiao still want you?"


    "Zhiqiao is not that kind of person..."


    "Oh, I know!" Mother gu was not in the mood to hear him praise ye zhiqiao. She continued to persuade him, "Ye zhiqiao has a deep relationship with you. In the event of such a big event, you will explain to her in the future that she will definitely forgive you. Now that the guests can see that you''re busy, it doesn''t matter if you leave now. There''s still your father and I here."


    As he spoke, president li called again, urging him.


    Gu mohan pondered over what his mother said. After weighing the pros and cons, he pressed her shoulder and ran out with his cell phone.


    He ran towards the side door, and ye zhiqiao happened to see his back when she turned her head, and the forced smile on her face finally faded a little.


    In the spacious and luxurious private rooms of another hotel, president li was waiting for gu mohan with a table full of delicacies.


    Seeing him rush in, president li stood up and greeted him with a laugh.


    "Mr. Gu, you are such a busy man. I haven''t seen you for a few days and you''re actually getting married! Come on, sit down and tell me who your wife is!"


    The man with a big belly made a silly joke, but gu mohan had no time to agree.


    "President li, I heard that there is a problem with the project. You also know that there is a wedding going on over there. Can you make some concessions? Let''s talk about it later?" Gu mohan rarely lowered his voice, even with a request.


    President li suddenly put on an unhappy expression. He sat down and played with his glass. He said, "Li just came back from a business trip. When I heard that president gu got married, I felt embarrassed that I didn''t make it to the wedding, so I specially set up a banquet again. First, it was to discuss the project, and second, it was to congratulate president gu. If president gu didn''t agree, it would be too embarrassing for someone li."


    The tone of his voice was strange. If he was a normal business partner, gu mohan would have already thrown off his sleeves and left, but this president li was really not small. Although gu mohan was angry in his heart, he could only suppress his anger and still sat down.


    "Hey! That''s right!"


    President li smiled instantly, picked up the bottle and filled it with two glasses of white wine.

 Chapter 494 Daytime Nightmare

    "Mr. Gu, please." He pouted at one of the glasses.


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and lifted his head to finish the wine in one gulp.


    Until now, he had fully realized what president li was thinking.


    There are only a few ways to do business in the mall. A few people are quick and quick, but most people like to deal with each other in secret.


    Of course, president li in front of him belongs to the latter.


    People like him, who had reached a high position, were mostly begging him. Even if they didn''t, they didn''t dare to provoke him. For example, gu mohan now, so he bullied others by using his power. He had a smiling face on his face, but he had to clean up the other party to be satisfied.


    Gu mohan was well aware of the rules and understood that today''s wedding banquet was definitely not going back. In order to ensure that the company''s project did not go wrong, he had to be patient and accompany him.


    But gu Mohan had one disadvantage: he got married today!


    "Mr. Gu, Mr. Li is celebrating your wedding!" President li raised his glass and instead of drinking, he brought it to gu mohan.


    Gu mohan raised his head and drank it. Just as he was about to speak, president li opened his voice again and said, "President gu, this cup is to wish you and your wife a long time!"


    Gu mohan drank again.


    "President gu, I wish you and your wife an early birth and a noble son. You must drink this cup!"


    "I wish you peace and happiness in your family!"


    "Good health, good career!"


    ...


    President li tried to persuade him to drink one glass at a time, all for reasons that he could not refuse. Gu mohan, who was not a big drinker, finally collapsed on the table after drinking half a bottle of white wine.


    He was so anxious that he couldn''t stop worrying about ye zhiqiao, who was still at the wedding. He was distracted and had no defense. It was too late to find a way out.


    "President gu? President gu? How about another drink?"


    President li shook gu mohan''s shoulder and smiled with satisfaction when he saw that he was completely unresponsive, as if he was already drunk.


    Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Come down and bring him up."


    He had arranged all this on purpose. He deliberately threatened gu mohan in the middle of the wedding and got him drunk for the next moment.


    With the help of the Wang family recently, the gu group is thriving. It seems that it has the tendency to monopolize the city''s industry and become the leader!


    As the president of li, who was once on equal footing with gu, how could he tolerate such a thing? Not only could he not let the gu family ride on his head, but he also wanted to merge the gu family, which was his wish for many years!


    But if he wanted to confront president gu head-on, he didn''t have the ability to do so, so he had to make this move.


    But in business, no matter the best or the worst, as long as you can win, you are the emperor of heaven!


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    The door of the room was knocked on, and then the voluptuous woman came in with a twist of her waist and winked at president li, "This is it?"


    President li nodded, "Bring it over."


    The woman agreed, using her small body to support the tall gu mohan, and staggered out of the door.


    The upper floor of the hotel is the guest room, and president li has already arranged for it. As long as this unknown little star takes gu mohan into the guest room, the news of gu mohan abandoning his new wife and opening a room with a female star hotel on his wedding day will explode in the city tomorrow morning!


    The next morning, as president li had expected, the disaster came as expected.


    Gu mohan got up from his bed. The female star was long gone, but the morning news on the entertainment channel told him in detail what happened yesterday.


    First of all, the wedding failed and the marriage of the heir to the gu family''s Wang family ended.


    It turned out that after he left yesterday, old master wang flew into a rage and personally took ye zhiqiao away from the venue, no matter how much the gu father, gu mother or best man and bridesmaid tried to persuade him, it was useless.


    Then he and the female star entered the hotel room together.


    The photos were almost posted behind him and the female star, and anyone who wasn''t blind could tell that it was gu Mohan.


    Everything seemed to have been arranged. All the accidents happened at the right time. It was so coincidental that he couldn''t tell whether he was experiencing a reality or a nightmare.


    But why did it turn out to be like this? He couldn''t even understand it!!!


    Gu mohan frantically swept the things that his hands could touch onto the ground. After venting his anger, he suddenly woke up and ran to the Wang family to look for ye zhiqiao without even bothering to wash his face!


    Old master wang refused to see him. The guard at the door threatened him with a gun and immediately left.


    He had no choice but to contact Qin Baiye.


    Qin Baiye endured the beating of jian mengqi and quickly said that ye zhi coincidentally lived in the apartment.


    Then, he drove straight to the apartment.


    But the only thing that greeted him was the cold door.


    Ye zhi happened to be inside, but refused to open the door to see him.


    Yesterday''s wedding, ye zhiqiao was angry, aggrieved, disappointed, but she could listen to Mohan explain all of this, but this morning, the news that spread all over the city, she could not accept it!


    The groom, who left the wedding, took another woman to a room in the blink of an eye. What should the bride do?


    Forgive me? I don''t think the holy mother would do that either!!


    "Bang bang -"


    Gu mohan kept pounding on the door. Seeing that ye zhiqiao inside had no reaction, he had to stand outside and apologize.


    "Zhiqiao, can you trust me? The news was all fake! I don''t know who that woman is. I left yesterday because a business partner asked me to talk about the project. Zhiqiao, can you give me a chance to explain? You can be angry and hate me, but can you listen to my explanation first?!"


    Gu mohan knocked on the door endlessly, and the residents beside him came out several times impatiently, but he still refused to leave.


    Ye zhiqiao finally opened the door when the neighbor couldn''t stand it and had to call security.


    "Come in."


    Ye zhiqiaomu''s face was expressionless and she spat out two words, then turned and walked back to the living room.


    Gu mohan guessed that she would react this way, but as long as she was willing to listen to him explain, that would be good, so he quickly followed in and immediately started explaining again in the living room.


    After recounting what happened yesterday, gu mohan sat opposite ye zhiqiao and waited for her reaction.


    After a long time, ye zhiqiao slowly said, "You left because the client wants to see you, so in your heart, the client is more important than marrying me, right?"


    Her tone was so calm that she could not hear the slightest excitement, as if the teacher was asking a question.


    Such a calm ye zhiqiao made gu Mohan''s heart tremble.


    However, he still answered honestly, "You should have heard of president li. Gu shi and he are working on big projects. If I don''t go over, he will cancel all the cooperation. It is not only as simple as losing a single project, but also threatening gu shi''s lifeline."

 Chapter 495 I Dont Want You Anymore

    "It''s more important to cooperate with president li, okay."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded calmly and continued to ask absentmindedly, "Where''s the news?"


    The tv on both sides had been silenced by ye zhiqiao, but the news of gu mohan cheating on a female star was still continuously broadcast. Gu mohan wanted to suggest turning off the tv first, but he was afraid that ye zhiqiao would think he was guilty, so he had to hold back this idea.


    He put his elbow on his thigh, held his hands together, closed his eyes and said, "I was drunk at the wine table. I don''t know what happened. It was already dawn when I woke up. I only knew what happened yesterday when I saw the news on tv."


    Then he suddenly opened his eyes and leaned forward in the direction of ye zhiqiao, "But I''m sure nothing happened between me and that woman! I was so drunk that I couldn''t do anything!"


    Ye zhiqiao averted her eyes to the side and spoke softly as if she was afraid of disturbing the morning.


    "You just said to talk to president li about a major project that concerns the life of the gu family, and then to be drunk and unconscious at the wine table."


    The tone of the statement, however, was clear that she did not believe gu mohan''s words.


    If things were that serious, how could gu mohan let himself get drunk?


    "Because president li kept drinking me through the wedding, I wanted to deal with him quickly and go back to the wedding, so..."


    "You left the wedding to see him, and you were anxious to get him back, so why did you go there?"


    Ye zhiqiao thought clearly, but after gu Mohan had a hangover, he suffered a huge impact. He ran back to her in a daze to explain. After this struggle, his head was already muddled, almost surrounded by her questions.


    After thinking for a long time with his head in his hands, gu mohan finally came to his senses and quickly replied, "Because he called me and threatened me, the one you saw. My mother took the phone!"


    Gu mohan''s eyes lit up, thinking that ye zhiqiao would understand him by saying the cause and effect.


    But ye zhiqiao suddenly smiled and said coldly, "Your lie has been made up for a long time."


    From the beginning of the meeting, ye zhiqiao changed into a stern expression, as if every word gu mohan said was a lie to her, every word was a joke to her!


    "You... Don''t believe me...?"


    Gu mohan asked, staring incredulously.


    Ye zhiqiao tilted her head slightly and asked, "Should I believe you?"


    "...


    "...


    Silence.


    The silent air current gathered between the two of them, and the whole room seemed to be frozen by the cold air.


    Gu mohan wanted to explain, to cut out his own heart and liver for ye zhiqiao to see, but whether he believed it or not, it was all in ye zhiqiao''s mind.


    The two of them looked at each other, one with an anxious and aggrieved look and the other with a cold and indifferent look.


    After a long time, the sun came in and fell into ye zhiqiao''s eyes, leaving a trace of mist.


    She cried, but her eyes remained cold.


    "I was embarrassed at the wedding. The things in my eyes were supposed to be exactly the same as you are now. But you''re a little better than me. At least I''m still here to listen to you, but yesterday, I was the only one standing there alone, accepting everyone''s gaze."


    "Zhiqiao, you..."


    "Hear me out!"


    Ye zhiqiao cut him off harshly, a tear falling down, then she slowed down her tone and said softly, "Listen to me, as if I have endured the explanation of whether you are telling the truth or a lie, okay?"


    She said this as if she was certain that what gu mohan had just said was a lie and sentenced him to death.


    But gu mohan had no choice but to grit his teeth and nod.


    Ye zhiqiao curved her lips and continued, "I am very sad. I am really sad. I feel like I have been stripped naked and displayed in front of everyone. Even when I was pregnant before marriage and was pregnant with little treasure, I didn''t feel that bad. Then grandpa took me away. I didn''t want to go. I wanted to stay there and wait for you. I thought you would definitely come back. But as it turned out, luckily I didn''t wait. Because even if we wait, it''s just a joke for everyone to watch."


    She looked at gu mohan, forbearing and helpless, "We''ve gone through so much and missed so much. I thought you would cherish it, but you didn''t. I''m really disappointed."


    "I''ll make it up to you, Zhiqiao. I''ll make it up to you!"


    Gu mohan got up and squatted in front of ye zhiqiao, holding her hand to promise.


    This kind of ye zhi qiao is really very distressing, obviously with a faint smile, but tears kept falling down, her hair was messy, her face was pale, her hands were cold, so cold that people''s chests hurt.


    Ye zhiqiao looked down at him and shook her head.


    "I don''t want your compensation, your apology, or your explanation. I don''t want you anymore." !!!


    Ye zhiqiao said, I don''t want you anymore.


    Gu mohan panicked!


    This was the first time ye zhiqiao broke up. She was never a naive and fragile girl and would not threaten her man with a breakup. Ever since we were together, only gu mohan had broken up once for the family business, but ye zhiqiao had never.


    When she was bullied and warned by gu mohan''s secret admirers, when she was persuaded by jian mengqi, when she was harassed by gu father and gu mother, and when she was completely scolded by public opinion on the internet... She never mentioned it even once!


    Once a silent person explodes, it is a disaster that destroys the world.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t have this idea before because she valued this relationship. To break up now, she wanted to give up this man completely. No matter what happened, she couldn''t change her decision.


    Knowing her character, gu mohan was even more flustered!


    He even wanted to hold ye zhiqiao at a loss, but she pushed him away.


    What should I do? What should I do?!


    For the first time, he was so flustered that his mouth was half open but he could not speak. He even knelt on the ground and looked up at ye zhiqiao''s eyes full of begging.


    But it was useless.


    Ye zhiqiao stood up resolutely, walked to the door, and opened the door, "You can go. You have already made it clear. Don''t come again."


    Gu mohan chased her to the door, but refused to go out. Instead, he held her face and wanted to kiss her!


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head away, closed her eyes and said with disgust, "Don''t touch me again, I''m disgusted."


    Those two lips that might have already kissed someone else made her sick!


    Gu mohan''s chest tightened and he asked hurt, "Do you really... Think I''m disgusting?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him expressionless, her eyes already giving the answer.


    "... Okay, I''ll go. But I''ll come back when you calm down." Gu mohan slumped his shoulders and walked out the door.

 Chapter 496 Ye Zhiqiao Went Abroad in Anger

    Before gu mohan left, what he was thinking was that ye zhiqiao would not forgive him for a moment, but after getting angry, he would definitely be able to see things clearly and understand him as before.


    This time, however, things were completely off track.


    Qin Baiye told gu mohan that ye zhiqiao was studying abroad. When qin baiye secretly sent a message behind jian mengqi''s back, there was only an hour left before ye zhiqiao''s plane took off.


    Gu mohan stopped the emergency public relations meeting in the company and drove straight to the airport.


    Along the way, it was as if all the private cars, buses and pedestrians in the city were against him, and even the traffic lights were blocked!


    Gritting his teeth, he waited for another red light for more than 20 seconds. He slammed on the gas pedal, passed the leisurely private car in front of him and sped towards the airport.


    If he missed it today, what would be waiting for him?


    He didn''t even dare to think about it.


    When he used to hug and sleep with ye zhiqiao, he would always be very glad. He thought in his heart that thanks to the deep fate between him and ye zhiqiao, they would be able to meet again and again under the difficult obstacles.


    But now he felt that as long as he didn''t reach the last moment of his life, there was no way to be sure whether he was destined or not.


    Just as he and ye zhiqiao were already standing side by side on the stage of the wedding banquet, they were only one hour away from exchanging rings, but in a few hours, they might be separated from each other.


    It was his fault to leave ye zhiqiao alone at the wedding banquet. No matter how ye zhiqiao punished him, he could only leave him!


    After braking hard, the car stopped diagonally at the airport entrance.


    Ignoring the complaints and scoldings of pedestrians disturbed by the sound of brakes, he ran into the airport.


    After reuniting with ye zhiqiao, he felt that the airport in the city was so small that they would meet again. But when he walked through it to look for ye zhiqiao, he felt that the airport was so big that he could not find the woman in his heart!


    She mistook several women with similar backs and was always disappointed.


    Gu mohan stood in the middle of the terminal, looking around in a daze. Strange faces flashed past him, but not her, not her...


    Suddenly!


    A thin figure in a long green dress flashed past!


    Gu mohan''s heart jumped and he rushed in the direction that the man had left.


    "Zhiqiao? Ye zhiqiao!"


    He grabbed the woman''s shoulder and was so surprised that he almost went crazy!


    But when the woman turned around, she saw another strange face.


    "... Right... Sorry."


    The light in gu mohan''s eyes suddenly went out. After apologizing feebly, he hugged his head and squatted down slowly.


    What should I do?


    He couldn''t find her...


    At this time, behind him, ye zhiqiao, wearing a light green dress, was taking back the boarding pass handed by the staff and putting down her bag to pass the security check.


    Gu mohan stood up, took a look at the time, and wanted to continue searching. The moment he turned around, ye zhiqiao had already followed the crowd slowly into the gate.


    After boarding the plane, ye zhiqiao found her seat and sat down, then took out her phone again.


    There were more than 20 missed calls from gu mohan, and one could imagine how anxious he was, but it had nothing to do with her.


    What happened at the wedding and the public opinion after that had consumed all her hopes for gu mohan. Maybe, maybe she was just angry and angry, but at least for now, she didn''t want to see gu mohan''s face and hear his voice!


    The only thing he couldn''t let go of was little treasure.


    But she didn''t know how to explain this to her five-year-old daughter, and every time she said it, she would hurt herself again.


    Fortunately, grandpa and jian mengqi are here. They will take good care of little treasure, and the gu family... Little treasure is at least the blood of the gu family, and they will certainly not treat him badly.


    Now that her mind is in a mess, she should calm down for a while and wait until the place finds a chance to call little treasure and explain this to her.


    As soon as ye zhiqiao made her decision, the flight attendant came over to remind her to turn off her electronic equipment, so she turned off her phone and closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair.


    The plane rose and flew through the blue sky and clouds. The scenery by the window was beautiful, but she no longer wanted to see it.


    More than ten hours later, the plane landed smoothly in London International Airport.


    For the first time in this gentleman and art city, ye zhiqiao was not excited at all, but calm to the point of indifference.


    He followed the crowd out of the airport and wanted to take a taxi to find a hotel to stay in, but just as he was about to open the door of a taxi on the side of the road, a man with a collar up suddenly appeared behind him.


    The man not only snatched her car, but also hit her.


    Isn''t it a country of gentlemen? What is this quality?!


    Ye zhiqiao was so angry that she stomped her feet, but when she was about to walk into the store to buy a bottle of mineral water, she realized that she was angry too early.


    Because the man not only stole her car and hit her, but also stole her wallet!


    How can you live without money in a foreign country?


    Or where should I stay tonight? What should I do for the next meal?


    She walked aimlessly forward, rubbing her stomach with one hand unconsciously, thinking that she shouldn''t have disliked the bad taste of the plane food just now and only managed to eat a few mouthfuls.


    Alas! It''s really unlucky to drink cold water and stuff your teeth...


    She sighed and followed the people in front of her to cross the road, but did not look up at the traffic light.


    In the last few seconds, the person in front of her dashed across the road. She had just taken two steps when the red light came on and cars on both sides rushed in.


    "Squeak-"


    The sound of brakes exploding in my ears!


    The driver braked in time, but when he approached ye zhiqiao, the car did not stop completely and hit her leg lightly.


    Ye zhiqiao was startled by the sound of the brakes, and she was already unstable. Coupled with the collision of the front of the car, she fell to the ground immediately!


    She let out a low cry and then heard the sound of the door opening and closing.


    "How are you?" There was concern in the owner''s voice, but there was no anger at all.


    It was originally ye zhiqiao who ran the red light on her own, so why bother others again?


    She quickly got up on the ground and kept lowering her head to apologize, "I''m fine. I''m really sorry to trouble you. Would you like to see if there''s any problem with the car? If there''s a problem, I''ll pay..."


    The word "Compensation" was about to blurt out, but it stuck in her throat.


    Compensation? What did she pay for it?!


    "Hehe, it''s okay. People are more important than cars. You''re fine."


    The owner''s voice was like a spring breeze. Ye zhiqiao raised her head and met a pair of eyes with a smile hidden in her concern.

 Chapter 497 The Meaning of the Word "cripple"

    The owner of the car was a young man who looked to be less than 30 years old. His skin was very white, even a little whiter than ye zhiqiao, who had always boasted of milk skin, so his eyebrows and eyes were very deep and his thin lips were slightly red.


    He was not short, and ye zhiqiao looked up at him slightly, but he was too thin, like a big boy in adolescence.


    Realizing that she had been staring at others for too long, ye zhiqiao quickly lowered her head in embarrassment and said apologetically, "I''m sorry. It''s a little..."


    The man smiled faintly and said in a gentle voice, "It''s okay. I will be very excited to see my chinese compatriots. Since we met, let''s introduce ourselves. My name is shen cang. I''m chinese. I work in a company."


    The conversation was elegant and funny, and ye zhiqiao curved her lips and smiled, "Hello, my name is ye zhiqiao, and I am also chinese."


    She didn''t say what her job was because she was a jobless bum now and she was short of money!


    Shen cang did not chase after him, but opened the door and invited, "Where are you going? I have nothing to do. I''ll send you there directly."


    Free car and driver, ye zhiqiao happened to have no money to take a taxi. She should be happy, but on second thought, she didn''t even have a place to live. Where could she go?


    With an embarrassed smile, ye zhiqiao asked tentatively, "The police station... Can you give me a ride?"


    "!" Shen cang was stunned and his surprise was written on his face.


    Ye zhiqiao hurriedly explained, "Well, I lost my wallet, and I just came here without a place to live, so I plan to report it to the police station, and then..."


    Seeing shen cang''s expression getting more and more shocked, ye zhiqiao thought that he was unwilling to help, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to. It''s just that I''m taking advantage of you. It was because I didn''t watch the traffic lights... Anyway, I''m sorry, I won''t waste your time. You don''t have to worry about me. I''ll go by myself."


    Ye zhiqiao said a long string like a machine gun, her cheeks flushed, as if she had made a big mistake.


    Originally, her character was not like this. Even if she did make a mistake, she would only find the reason. If she apologized, she would make up for it.


    However, after the failure of the wedding, she encountered a series of blows and troubles. Her self-confidence seemed to be knocked down, and her body and mind became fragile together.


    "Hiss -"


    After thinking for a long time, a chuckle suddenly came from above.


    She raised her head in a daze and met a pair of smiling eyes.


    Shen cang helplessly hooked his forehead, and the smile on his lips had yet to fade, "I said, you''re such a fun girl. I haven''t said anything yet. Why are you crying so fast?"


    "I..." Ye zhiqiao was a little embarrassed, bit her lip and said, "I don''t want to trouble others."


    Perhaps it had something to do with her childhood home environment or with her years of single life. She was rather aloof and usually preferred to keep a distance from others rather than owe others favors.


    However, shen cang''s character seemed to be much gentler. After listening to her words, he just smiled and said, "We are both chinese. You met me on the streets of a foreign country just now, which shows that we are destined to be together. How about this..."


    He glanced at his watch and continued, "You must not have eaten yet. I''ll treat you to a meal first and then take you to the police station."


    "No, no, no. How can I be nice?"


    Ye zhiqiao was about to take a few steps back and wave her hand to leave when suddenly, with a "Grunt," a protest came from her stomach!


    Her face turned red, and she subconsciously reached out to cover her stomach, but then she realized that her movements were somewhat of a silver mine.


    Shen cang''s smile deepened, and he took the opportunity to give her a step and said, "Just give me face, miss ye."


    Face must be given. If you don''t give him face now, you will lose face!


    Ye zhiqiao stopped being polite and sat down in the passenger seat after thanking her.


    Shen cang looked at his age and didn''t look very stable, but he was actually more careful. He knew that ye zhiqiao was definitely embarrassed to take the initiative to specify the restaurant. After politely asking once, he didn''t ask again, but directly parked his car in front of a chinese restaurant.


    Ye zhi coincidentally did not show it on the face, but secretly praised in her heart: "I was afraid that I just came from the country to eat the food here is not used to it, so he just found it here."


    When ordering food, shen cang only asked if ye zhiqiao had any taboo, and then picked out a few representative dishes from various flavors, full of hospitality etiquette.


    Having enjoyed this treatment for no reason, ye zhiqiao would not really comfort herself with the other party''s "Predestined" polite words, so that she could accept it calmly. Therefore, during the meal, she intentionally or unintentionally asked shen disabled identity, hoping to become friends with him, so as to repay the kindness of this meal.


    "Your name... Is interesting. I don''t know what the word'' can'' is."


    The first step to being a friend is to ask the name first.


    Shen cang delivered the rice as if it were in his mouth. An embarrassed look flashed through his eyes, but soon, he raised his head with a habitual smile and replied, "Cruel cang."


    Cruel... Cruel?!!


    No one had ever heard of such a word to describe their own name. Although this word was indeed strange, but shen cang''s explanation undoubtedly surprised ye zhiqiao even more.


    Ye zhi smiled a few times, trying to explain the word with a beautiful meaning, but her mind turned around and she didn''t expect a good word. She could only force her way out, "Oh, it''s the''remnant'' of'' a remnant sun spreading in the water, half a river rustling and half a river red''. It''s very poetic."


    Shen cang was stunned again, then raised his eyelids in surprise and looked at ye zhiqiao, as if he never thought that someone would praise his name.


    And in such a far-fetched way.


    "It''s not as good as you think, because I''m physically disabled, so I named it." Shen cang broke the illusion without hesitation.


    Ye zhiqiao''s hand was frozen in the air, neither was she continuing nor was she retracting it.


    Was she wrong at that moment?


    The smile on shen cang''s face suddenly seemed cold and gloomy. Although it was fleeting, it was still frightening.


    And his voice, when he said he was disabled, was not as bright as before, and there was a hint of coldness in his unnatural voice.


    The sun was shining outside the window, and ye zhiqiao shivered involuntarily.


    But soon, shen cang pointed to a sweet and sour pork tenderloin and said to her, "This tastes good. It''s authentic among all the dishes. Try it."


    His smile and tone returned to normal. The moment before, it was like ye zhiqiao''s illusion.


    Perhaps people with physical disabilities will also have a lot of psychological pain, so occasionally there will be some special performance.

 Chapter 498 Marine Anemia

    Ye zhiqiao comforted herself like this.


    The next topic seemed to be out of the question. While she was worried about not being able to repay her kindness, shen cang suddenly spoke to himself.


    "You don''t have to be afraid. I''m in good health now. Besides regular check-ups and medication, I''m almost the same as a normal person."


    Did she hurt his pride by being too obvious?


    Ye zhiqiao frowned with remorse and explained, "I didn''t mean that. Don''t misunderstand. In fact, if you don''t tell me, I didn''t realize you were sick at all. Besides, with such advanced medical skills, most diseases can be cured. You..."


    "Then I might be the minority."


    Shen cang broke ye zhiqiao with a bitter smile and placed his chopsticks neatly on the plate. He leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Marine anemia. This is a genetic disease that can be diagnosed at birth, but of course, you healthy people have never heard of it."


    Yeah, she really hasn''t heard of it. Ye zhiqiao lowered her head and put down her chopsticks.


    "Hemolytic anemia, liver and spleen diseases, bone diseases, severe bone deformities and fractures occur at a young age. You may have to leave the world before you can learn to walk. Even moderate patients can only live from adulthood."


    A series of professional terms and almost cruel description of the disease, from when, ye zhiqiao had already pursed her lips, her face heavy, and her clenched palms began to sweat.


    Before meeting her again, little treasure had been suffering from a strange disease from childhood. He could not live freely like a normal child, but spent all day in the hospital. At that time, she felt that there was no one in the world as pitiful as little treasure, but after hearing the words of shen maiming, she suffered a heavy impact.


    It turns out that not only did little treasure get sick from a young age, but there were also many people who suffered from more serious illnesses. Every moment and every second, they were under the threat of death!


    After a long silence, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Is your illness... Mild?"


    Even though shen cang was young, he was definitely an adult, which she was sure of.


    According to him, only mildly ill people should live through adulthood and return to his current state.


    But he didn''t want to give her another shock.


    "No, I''m medium."


    "Medium?!" Ye zhi coincidentally widened her eyes in disbelief and leaned forward subconsciously.


    Shen cang curved his lips and smiled, this time with undisguised pride.


    "I am very lucky to have broken through the small probability of becoming one in ten thousand patients with moderate marine anemia who have survived adulthood!"


    After being surprised, ye zhiqiao also smiled, surprised, and moved by the tenacity of life.


    Perhaps it was a heart-to-heart relationship, or to tell ye zhiqiao his secret, and he naturally regarded ye zhiqiao as a friend. Along the way, shen cang was obviously more enthusiastic, not only busy helping ye zhiqiao report her loss, but also entrusted her with a temporary green card, and finally put a key in her hand.


    Looking at the shining key in the sun, ye zhiqiao tilted her head and looked puzzled, "This is..."


    Shen cang pointed to the apartment next to him and introduced, "My friend has gone abroad for a trip. I will take care of his house, but I am very busy every day, so I have to ask you."


    He smiled innocently, but this time, ye zhiqiao could not accept his kindness as before.


    Ye zhiqiao put the key back in his hand and shook her head resolutely, "You have helped me a lot. I don''t know how to repay you. I can''t live in this house. I can find my own way to stay."


    "You''re new here. What can you do?"


    Shen cang didn''t mean to choke her, but seriously wanted to hear her way.


    But what could she do? That was just to say no to his good intentions. He kept saying that he was busy every day, but ever since he bumped into her, he had been around her to help and had no intention of going to work.


    Moreover, his car and clothes, including his demeanor, could tell that he was not an ordinary office worker. Although he had good intentions, he had to be vigilant.


    Ye zhiqiao still shook her head, then shook the phone in her hand and said, "Didn''t we leave each other''s phone? If I''m in trouble, I''ll call you for help, but I can''t live in this house."


    After spending a few hours together, shen cang probably saw some of ye zhiqiao''s temper. If she refused firmly, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she might even get angry.


    In that case, he had to give up.


    Shen cang smiled helplessly and spread out his hands, "Whatever, but you must contact me immediately."


    "Okay, thank you for taking care of me today. Bye."


    Ye zhiqiao said goodbye to him and then turned around to blend in with the pedestrians.


    In the evening, the setting sun shone on the luggage on the ground. Ye zhiqiao came out of the bathroom to take a bath. She wiped her hair with a towel and walked slowly to the single bed.


    On the pure white sheet, a business card and an envelope lay side by side, emitting a strong aura.


    After leaving shen cang in the afternoon, ye zhiqiao suffered a lot for her stubbornness.


    First, she applied for a temporary job providing accommodation, but because of the loss of important documents, there was no store willing to provide an opportunity. Then, she went to the nearest police station, but the bearded police inside didn''t seem to like the chinese or simply felt troublesome, so they wouldn''t help her at all.


    After a while, it was getting later and later. She held her cell phone and was uncertain whether she should have the backbone to find a pier to sleep for a night or call shen cang for help.


    When she was struggling with her thoughts, she was hungry and wanted to dig out the bread that shen cangqiang had stuffed for her. She reached into her backpack with one hand and leaned in the direction. Instead of touching the bread, she touched an envelope.


    When he took it out, he found another card sandwiched in the crease of the envelope.


    On the card was the doctor who treated little treasure a while ago.


    It must have fallen into her bag when she was tidying up, and her urination didn''t catch her attention.


    Ye zhiqiao thought of this and was about to put the business card back, but her action suddenly stopped.


    Little treasure was sick because of the blood on the tip of the needle carrying the virus. Shen cang said today that his disease was marine anemia, which was related to the blood, so the doctor who treated little treasure, would it also help shen cang''s condition?!


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao became excited.


    If this doctor could cure shen cang''s illness, she not only returned the favor, but also did a good thing. Most importantly, a kind person like shen cang would never be tortured by illness again!


    "That''s great!"


    She said to herself, and then she wanted to call shen cang, but her eyes flashed and she noticed the envelope on the side.

 Chapter 499 Vipers Eyes

    She accidentally dropped the doctor''s business card, but this envelope...


    She looked at it over and over for a long time, and in the end, she was sure - it was definitely not hers!


    It felt like there was something inside, but it was too thin to know what it was, but it was in her bag anyway, so she opened it without hesitation.


    Money!!!


    She never expected that there would be money in the envelope!


    Fifty pounds a piece, not much more, just thirty brand new ones!


    One hundred and fifty pounds was not a lot of money in a first-tier city, but it was enough for her to rent a cheap little hotel and have a good meal for a few days!


    No need to think, this money must have been slipped in by shen cang when she wasn''t paying attention.


    And she had the audacity to think that she wanted to give her more with her poor financial condition, but to take care of her pride, she only let it go.


    Thirty notes, less than 0. 5 centimeters thick, could not even be weighed on the scale, but she was holding them in her hand and felt extremely heavy.


    This is not just money, but a sincere heart!


    So she took the money, found a small hotel, and bought instant noodles for dinner.


    Shen cang really took her as a friend, and she couldn''t keep pushing him out. Since he couldn''t repay his kindness for a while, it was better to go on a gentle journey.


    Anyway, she still needs to stay here for a long time, and there will always be a chance in the future.


    She dried her hair and leaned back against the bed. She picked up her cell phone, took a picture of the doctor''s business card and sent it to her crippled cell phone.


    Then he called again.


    Shen cang had already seen the photo, picked up the phone and asked directly, "Is the business card you sent a doctor?"


    Without the awkwardness of a phone call, the two started talking directly to the doctor.


    Ye zhiqiao fiddled with the small lamp on the bedside table and smiled, "Yes, this doctor cured my family''s blood disease. I know you are in good health now, but I still want to introduce you, um... Do you mind if I do this?"


    "Of course not."


    There was a soft sound from the other end, followed by footsteps. Shen cang seemed to have left his previous seat and walked away a little. Then he continued, "It is true that my illness has not been cured. It is not good for me to escape. You are helping me. I am very grateful."


    Listening to his natural tone, it seemed that there were some surprises. Ye zhiqiao finally felt at ease, "It''s a piece of cake. You don''t have to thank me. If you really want to say thank you, then I should be the one to say it to you."


    She paused and picked up the envelope.


    Shen cang seemed to sense her movements and stopped her without waiting for her to speak, "Didn''t you say you were friends? It''s right to help each other. Don''t thank me, okay?"


    "Do you have x-ray vision?!" Ye zhiqiao smiled in surprise, but she really didn''t mention the word "Thank."


    After chatting for a while, shen cang took the initiative and said, "It''s getting late. You should be very tired today. Go to bed early. I won''t disturb you."


    "Okay, bye." Ye zhiqiao sat up straight and said goodbye.


    "Good night."


    Hanging up the phone, the screen gradually darkened, and his crippled fingers unconsciously rubbed the screen, looking out the window with a blank face.


    Looking down at the city''s colorful night scenery from the height of 50 floors, the feeling that had once shocked him was now gradually dull.


    Dragging such a body without constant stimulation, what''s the point of living?


    He raised the corners of his lips and turned around with a strange smile.


    Sitting back in his office chair, he sent the photo he had just received to his assistant and added, "Check the records of this doctor''s visits in recent years. Find out all the patients who have anything to do with the name'' ye zhiqiao'', and then follow the vine to find out what happened to ye zhiqiao."


    After giving the order, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling. The light inside was completely different from what he saw in the daytime.


    Have you ever seen a viper?


    His eyes were like the eyes of a poisonous snake!


    The next day, a well-trained assistant placed a report on his desk.


    "Go down."


    He gave an order and picked up a few thin pages of the report to read.


    There were three people in the report: xiao bao, xiao bao''s mother, ye zhiqiao, and ye zhiqiao''s fiance, gu mohan.


    In a short period of time, the assistant''s ability to organize the report was not comprehensive, but the identity of the three people was clear and detailed.


    For example, ye zhiqiao was once an internationally renowned designer, "Mengxing." After returning home, she somehow entered the gu group, and the current leader of the gu group was her fiance, gu mohan. The two had been preparing to get married a while ago, but on the wedding day the groom left midway, and then there was news of a room with a female star, and their marriage was annulled.


    Shen cang casually threw the report on the table, narrowed his eyes and calculated.


    When ye zhiqiao went abroad, it seemed that it was after the wedding failure that she rushed out so quickly. Was she trying to avoid being hurt by love, or was she taking the opportunity to embarrass the president of gu group in order to gain benefits?


    "Interesting!"


    He gave a comment, then called his assistant again and asked him to check ye zhiqiao''s current residence.


    This mission was much easier than the last one. Two hours later, the assistant knocked on the door again with a report.


    Shen cang couldn''t be bothered to look, so he leaned on the sofa and asked his assistant to give a verbal report.


    "Ye zhi happens to be living in a Youthotel room in the old city district. The room number is'' 301''. She checked in at six o'' clock yesterday evening with her backpack, suitcase and two buckets of instant noodles. I went out yesterday and today to look for a job, but I was refused because I didn''t have the proper documents."


    The documents are not complete...


    Shen cang narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He smiled and said, "Yes, she lost her wallet. Of course, her credentials are not complete."


    The assistant remained silent as he muttered to himself, maintaining a slight bow.


    "In her case, is there no way she can find a job?"


    Hearing shen cang''s question, the assistant pondered for a few seconds, not daring to say too absolutely, "According to common sense, the documents are not even enough to do temporary work, but the old city side is full of fish and dragons, there are more small traders, and I don''t know if there will be any accidents."


    Upon hearing this, shen cang gave him a sidelong glance and said coldly, "What are you trying to say to me?"


    He was clearly looking down at the ground, but the assistant could still feel the two cold gleams of cen cen on his body, and cold sweat broke out behind him.


    "No." The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Shen maiming''s temper is very strange. According to past experience, it is better to speak less at this time.


    "Hmph -"


    Shen cang snorted, put away his anger, and returned to an indifferent attitude, "If you can''t tell, just find a way to make it right, understand?"

 Chapter 500 "chance Encounter" Shen Cang

    For three whole days, ye zhiqiao ran through the streets and alleys of the old city, but she couldn''t find a job, and no one even asked her to wash dishes in the restaurant.


    Of course, she wouldn''t know that it was all because of a single sentence.


    On the morning of the fourth day, unwilling to give up, she got up early again and decided to go far to try her luck in the city center.


    As soon as he left the house, he ran into shen cang, who was reversing his car.


    Shen can also see her from the rearview mirror. To be more precise, shen can has been wandering here for a long time just to wait for her.


    "What a coincidence?"


    Shen cang opened the door and got out of the car with a surprised expression. He pointed to Youthotel behind her and asked, "You live here?!"


    Ye zhiqiao smiled and nodded, then asked doubtfully, "What about you? Surely you don''t live here?"


    Shen can buy the hotel behind her with just one car. It''s strange that he will stay here!


    Shen cang curled his lips and said, "My friend wants to buy a piece of land here. Let me help you come and take a look."


    Ye zhiqiao had no doubt about his words.


    His friend must be either rich or expensive, and it''s normal to do real estate, but it''s only five o'' clock now, so it''s too early to see the land.


    With this in mind, she casually asked.


    Shen cang naturally knew it was too early, but according to the observation that his assistant had sent people for days, ye zhiqiao went out at this time every day. How could he "Meet" when he was late?


    He planned in his heart, but everything was fine on the surface. Shen cang lied, "The company is too busy during the day, so I have to get up early."


    Then he smiled bitterly and blinked his eyes, looking very helpless.


    However, ye zhiqiao enviously tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling that he was in bliss without knowing it.


    Rich people think that work is too busy, but she is a poor person who can''t even get a job. God is really unfair!


    Seeing that she suddenly looked depressed, shen cang asked at the right time, "Why are you so sad? What''s troubling you?"


    Ye zhiqiao waved her hand, "No, no." He glanced at the watch and said, "Are you still busy? Then I won''t bother you. I''ll go first."


    Shen cang came here specially for her. How could he let her go so easily?


    Originally, she wanted her to bring up the trouble of looking for a job, but whether she was playing hard to get or embarrassed, she actually didn''t mention it. Shen maiming had no choice but to take the initiative to bring up the topic.


    "Hey!"


    He called her from behind, and when she turned around, shen cang pouted at the hotel. "Kind" reminded her, "It''s not safe for a girl to stay in a place like this. After making money, you should go to the city and find a house."


    Ye zhiqiao stuck out her tongue in a dilemma, a wisp of fringe was blown away by the wind, gently fluttering in the warm sunshine.


    "Actually, I haven''t found a job yet, but I''ll change my house soon after I have the money. Thank you."


    Shen cang was shaken by her last glance and smile. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had already waved his hand away.


    He looked at his slender back, then at the car parked on the side of the road, and finally caught up with it.


    Hearing the horn behind her, ye zhiqiao stopped in surprise. When the car stopped beside her, she leaned over and asked through the window, "Aren''t you going to look at the ground? How..."


    "I just answered the phone. My friend said he didn''t want to buy it." Shen cang lied with a straight face and a straight heart. He opened the passenger door and let her in.


    A piece of land, not a piece of fruit, if you say you don''t want it, then you don''t want it?


    Ye zhiqiao frowned, feeling that the rich man''s mind was really difficult to understand, but still stroked the corner of her skirt and got into the car.


    She thought that shen cang had asked her to get in the car to give her a ride or treat her to breakfast, so after she tactfully said that she had already had breakfast, shen cang could only send her to the bus stop in the city center.


    Not wanting to be crippled, shen said, "Go to my company. There are still vacancies in the personnel department. You can just fill them up."


    "You''re looking for a job for me?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked, and then quickly refused, "No, no, I can just find a temporary worker to do it myself. Your company... I will definitely give you trouble when I go."


    He had already helped so much in the past, how could he trouble others again, even if it was the company that he started, and arrange people to come in casually, how could he serve the public in the future?


    Ye zhiqiao wholeheartedly thought about shen cang, but in shen cang''s eyes, it changed a flavor.


    This time, shen cang was almost certain that she was playing hard to get and secretly laughed in her heart.


    He looked like he was not going to take the food from the groan, but he had already taken it a few days ago. If he pretended now, would he believe it?


    Not only did he not believe her, he kept her by his side to see what she could do!


    And Mr. Gu, you must join the game quickly. The more people there are, the more interesting it is...


    Clearing his throat, his voice was still as clear as ever, "I understand what you mean, but you also know that it''s very difficult to recruit a suitable employee. You should help me and work for a while before I find a new employee, okay?"


    Help...


    Speaking of this, ye zhiqiao seemed a little ungrateful to refuse again.


    And one needed an employee, the other wanted to find a job, which was actually a perfect match for both worlds. Thinking of this, she felt much more comfortable, and then thanked him profusely.


    However, from the moment she met him, she only knew that shen can was a rich man. Through the small talk in the car, she also knew that shen can had her own company and was a boss, but what she never expected was that shen can actually be the boss of such a big company!!


    Standing in front of the gate and looking up, ye zhiqiao could not count how many floors there were, but there must be dozens of floors, and the location of this building was also an inch of land, not even a taxi could be seen around, all kinds of private cars, if the pole fell down and hit ten, seven of them were limited edition!


    This kind of company, shen cripple actually said that he couldn''t find a suitable employee?


    It''s obviously a lie!


    If they didn''t come over, they had a good intention, and ye zhiqiao couldn''t poke it in person, so she lowered her eyes and followed shen cang to try to reduce her sense of existence.


    "This way."


    Shen cang smiled and nodded at the blonde at the front desk, taking ye zhiqiao directly to the side elevator.


    The elevator they were in was completely transparent, and ye zhiqiao carefully observed it. It seemed that only this elevator was like this, and when they entered the door just now, there were clearly a few people waiting for the elevator, but they did not follow in.


    Then there''s only one possibility...


    "This is my special elevator, but you can use it in the future."

 Chapter 501 Enter the Company

    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s question, shen cang naturally explained, but after listening, ye zhiqiao felt even more awkward.


    Although they were both chinese, shen cripple had been helping her because of this, but she always felt that shen cripple''s actions were a little... A little too far, at least beyond the distance of ordinary friends.


    Besides, from the moment she entered the room, apart from the foreigners at the front desk, the employees she saw were all chinese. Would shen can do this to everyone?


    The answer was obviously no.


    Ye zhiqiao was not a narcissist, but she had to think about it now.


    The elevator door slowly opened, shen rui put his hands in his pockets and walked out without looking sideways, nodding and smiling at every employee he saw, without any problems.


    Such a cripple, it seemed that she did not regard her as a very important person, and even walked far away did not realize that she had not followed.


    Did she think too much?


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and thought, when did she become so suspicious? Everyone said that she saw the kindness of her fellow countrymen. How could she judge a gentleman''s belly with a petty heart?


    "Zhiqiao?"


    Shen cang was talking to a woman holding a folder in front of him. When he turned around, he found that she did not follow him. He could not help but frown doubtfully.


    "Ah... Here it is!" Ye zhiqiao reacted, smiled sheepishly and walked over quickly.


    "This is luo shasha from the human resources department. You can report with her later." Shen cang stood between them and introduced her.


    Ye zhi happened to look at the woman across from her. She was of average height, in her twenties, not outstanding in appearance but also pretty. Her black eyes turned very sly and she looked like a white-collar worker in the workplace.


    "Hello, my name is ye zhiqiao." Ye zhiqiao reached out her hand.


    Luo shasha looked her up and down, showing an indescribable expression, then reached out and touched her hand symbolically, without saying a word.


    For some reason, ye zhiqiao subconsciously felt that luo shasha didn''t like her.


    But I just met her once and only said one sentence. Why didn''t I like her? Is she really annoying?


    Shen cang silently observed all of this, his mouth slightly raised, interrupting the temptation between the two women, and said, "I still have something to do, you can go over as soon as possible."


    After that, he turned and left without even looking at ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao choked on her words of thanks. She couldn''t get up or down. When she looked at luo shasha awkwardly, she was staring at her with a smile.


    But the smile and the look in his eyes made no one feel any kindness.


    But this is still the beginning, the real trouble is still behind.


    When luo shasha led ye zhiqiao into the door and announced that this was the new person that president shen personally brought over, everyone in the office raised their heads, and their eyes "Swish, swish, swish, swish" shot like arrows!


    Ye zhiqiao was shocked and subconsciously tightened her body. It took a lot of effort to squeeze out a smile. She bent down and bowed, "Hello, everyone. My name is ye zhiqiao. I am a new employee. Please take care of me in the future."


    A dull and boring self-introduction, but when ye zhiqiao looked up, her colleagues were already whispering to each other.


    As the crowd grew louder and louder, she finally understood the reason for luo shasha''s gaze.


    "Mr. Shen brought it here himself. Contacts?!"


    "No way. I haven''t heard that shen has such a young relative. It''s probably... That..."


    "Don''t talk nonsense! You forgot... You''re still at the company?"


    "But this is the first time president shen has brought someone in. What else can it be if it''s not that kind of relationship? I was lucky to have a pretty face. I had four interviews before I was recruited. I just had to sell a smile!"


    "Maybe it''s not just a joke!"


    ...


    Ye zhi happened to have only heard a rough idea of what they were saying, then she emptied her head and went to find an empty seat to sit down.


    She suddenly entered the company and was suspected of something that she had encountered at home, but did not expect such an open and free environment abroad, they are still like this.


    It seems that people everywhere have the habit of gossiping and guessing.


    She shook her head with a wry smile and walked into the manager''s office to report in front of everyone''s surprised eyes, taking over the work that needed to be done.


    At this time, in the ceo''s office, shen cang was watching her every move through surveillance. When he saw other colleagues pointing at her behind her back, a playful smile appeared on his lips.


    He knew very well that none of the employees in his company were economical lights and could not hear the sound from the surveillance cameras, but he was sure that those people must have given her a lot of food, but in this atmosphere, she was able to start her work without changing her face, which he did not expect.


    Turning off the surveillance screen, shen crippled his feet and turned the swivel chair under him 180 degrees, facing the french window.


    The sun was at the top of the tallest building in the distance, and the sky was within reach. Even the most amazing things were getting used to being boring. It was more fun to have a fresh woman downstairs.


    I just don''t know how long she can hold on, when... She can''t help coming to him.


    Shen cang played with the pen in his hand, but the door of the office behind him was pushed open from the outside. Then, the sound of high heels sounded.


    "I''ve told you many times that you have to knock on the door before you enter." He did not look back, nor did he raise his eyelids, just a lazy and fearless reminder.


    No one answered, only the sound of high heels getting closer and closer, and then a graceful figure flashed past his eyes, and a woman with beautiful eyes was sitting on her lap.


    The dark red fingernails on his fingers moved closer and scratched his chest.


    Shen cang grabbed the hand, put it near his mouth and took a bite. When he heard the sound of breathing in, he stopped.


    "Is this punishment?" The woman asked with a smile.


    Shen cang did not answer, but a hand touched the woman''s body, and finally landed in a certain place with a fierce effort. Seeing the woman''s entire face wrinkled up in pain, he smiled and said, "This is the punishment."


    As the big palm left, the place where it was pinched was still stinging, but the woman did not say a word, but smiled more softly.


    She pounced on shen cang''s chest, raised her head and blew into his ear. "It really hurts, what should I do?" She said coquettishly."


    Shen cang grabbed her neck, his arms slowly tightened, and his breathing became heavier, "You like me like this."


    The woman was almost out of breath, but she did not struggle at all. Instead, she stretched out her tongue and licked her crippled neck gently, "Yes, I like it very much."


    With that, the woman closed her eyes and her curly eyelashes cast a shadow over her lower eyelids.

 Chapter 502 Lover???

    Usually by this time, shen can''t help but turn over and press her down, but today shen can only chuckle a few times, and then... Push her away!


    The woman looked incredulous. She turned around to make sure that the door was locked and locked by herself. Then she asked calmly, "What are you doing?"


    "What for what?" Shen cang looked up at her, looking innocent.


    "Don''t play games with me. I don''t know you yet?"


    The woman picked up her arms and looked at him carefully from top to bottom. Then she let go of her lips that were biting between her white teeth and continued half-jokingly, "It can''t be that she''s been hiding things with someone else. I don''t have the strength to come here, right?"


    There was a smile in her tone, but there was no smile on her face.


    Of course, shen cang knew who she was referring to. From the moment she entered the door, he knew her intentions.


    "Qu ning." He called her name and casually said, "Mind your own business."


    "Mind your own business? Is your business a busybody?!"


    The woman named qu ning laughed a few times. When she saw that shen cang did not pay any attention to her, she immediately hid her smile and gritted her teeth, "I am in charge of your affairs every day. I am working for you every day. What do you mean by saying this now?"


    Ever since she had been with shen cang, her heart had been on him, nominally a secretary, but she was responsible for everything in shen cang''s life, and even the medicine he took was counted one by one from her early morning!


    Now you think she''s meddling?


    Qu ning leaned against the table and stopped playing tricks. She asked directly, "Who is ye zhiqiao?"


    Within two hours after ye zhiqiao entered the company, rumors spread throughout the company.


    Some said that she was shen cang''s "Professional," some said that she came in by her face, some said that she pestered shen cang and begged him to come in, and some... Said that she was here to replace secretary qu!


    Shen cang was rich and liked by women, but for so many years, she was the only one around him, qu ning!


    What is ye zhiqiao? Why are you here to butt in?!


    "Speak up!" Qu ning was furious at the thought of the whispers of those people. She didn''t believe in anyone else, just one answer!


    Shen can stood up and stared at her quietly for a while. Then he reached out and hugged her in his arms. He said softly, "Okay, I have something to do. Stop messing around and go back to work."


    Qu ning, who was in his arms, was startled and almost thought that he had heard wrong.


    She had never heard shen cang''s gentle voice before. Even if she had, it was a long time ago.


    But after the surprise, the suspicion returned to her mind.


    "Are you doing this sincerely... Or are you trying to coax me for that woman?"


    Qu ning came out of his arms and looked at him inquiringly, "Who is she? If it''s not important, why can''t you tell me? And... And if she''s important, you should tell me."


    Shen cang looked down at the red lips that kept opening and closing, and the gentle mask on his face gradually disintegrated, revealing a real and cold expression.


    His voice became unusually cold, "For the last time, don''t meddle."


    "I..."


    "Also, remember to knock on the door next time you come in." Shen cang interrupted her, sat back in the chair, and mercilessly dropped a word: "Get out!"


    Qu ning''s face turned pale, as if she could not hear what he had just said.


    He told her to... Get lost?


    He actually scolded her to get lost?!!


    "Shen cang, do you know what you''re talking about? You''ve never... Never done this to me! Why now? For that woman?!"


    "Boom -"


    Shen cang waved off the coffee on the table!


    The glass flew a few meters away and was smashed on the wall. After a soft sound, the shards and the dark brown liquid lay on the crimson carpet together.


    He did not speak, but the veins on the back of his hands, the heavy breathing, and the icy air pressure around him were all shouting - he was already angry!


    Unfamiliar people, even the employees in the company may not have seen shen cang angry, only qu ning alone, seen it many times.


    Because he had seen it before, he felt terrible. The feeling of fear even overpowered his anger.


    If it was normal, she would definitely try her best to appease shen cang, but today... She could not accept that shen cang was angry with her for a woman.


    After standing behind shen cang for a moment, qu ning snorted heavily and slammed the door around the desk to leave!


    Shen cang, don''t you want to hate the old for the new? Didn''t you scold me for that woman? Okay, then let''s see who wants to beg first!


    Qu ning angrily returned to the secretarial room, rummaged through the boxes to find a folder, looked fiercely and smiled, then took off the work card from his neck and threw it on the table.


    An hour later, the assistant rushed to the president''s office.


    "Come in."


    Shen cang looked up from the computer and saw the assistant looking flustered. He couldn''t help but ask, "What''s the matter?"


    The assistant nodded. Her anxious forehead was sweating, but there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. She stammered, "President shen, secretary qu... She''s gone..."


    "Gone?"


    Shen cang raised his eyebrows. Thinking of the noise just now, he smiled indifferently and said, "Just leave. As for you, why are you so anxious? Are you worried about her?"


    "No, no, no, of course not." The assistant waved his hand repeatedly, fearing that shen cang would misunderstand him, and quickly explained, "Secretary qu took a contract with her when she left. It was a big project that the company had just agreed on. Without that contract, I''m afraid..."


    Before the assistant could finish, shen cang had already slapped the table and started.


    The assistant was so frightened that she trembled all over. When she looked up and saw shen cang''s expression, she suddenly stopped and a layer of cold sweat rose behind her!


    The grim face in front of him was twisted, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were red, the flesh on both sides of the bridge of his nose twitched slightly, and even the sound of his teeth grinding came from his tightly pressed lips!


    He had never seen such a cripple.


    "President shen..."


    The assistant opened his mouth to calm shen cang''s anger, but there was no sound in his throat in panic!


    Shen cang suddenly looked up at him and ordered word by word, "Find it for me, now, find it!"


    Seeing that look once, the assistant felt that she would have nightmares when she slept at night, so she quickly agreed and ran away.


    After the assistant left, shen cang closed his eyes, but the anger of his body which had been pounding on him could not be dissipated.


    He was naturally angry that the contract was lost, but what really made him angry was qu ning''s act of taking the contract away without permission!


    Why did you do that?


    To demonstrate? To piss him off? Or was she tired of trying to get out of his control and leave him?


    Of course they could be separated, but he had to kick her away!

 Chapter 503 Disabled Shen

    "Send this document to president shen''s office. You''re on good terms with him anyway, aren''t you?"


    For this ambiguous sentence, ye zhiqiao walked out of the door in the eyes of a female colleague full of sarcasm, followed by a few staff members who were pointing behind her into the elevator, and then went to the tall and crippled office alone.


    Knock, knock, knock -


    Knock, knock, knock -


    He knocked twice in a row, but there was no response.


    Is he not here?


    "President shen, are you there?" Ye zhiqiao asked tentatively.


    But only silence answered her.


    Thinking that shen cang was not around, ye zhiqiao could only sigh helplessly and turn around to walk back. After all, she could not enter other people''s office without permission.


    It''s just that when I get back, I think I''ll be blinded again.


    "Boom -"


    The sound of things falling to the ground sounded, and ye zhiqiao''s footsteps suddenly stopped!


    The sound... Seemed to come from inside the door...


    She stepped back to the door and asked again, "President shen, is that you? I have a document to..."


    "Clang!"


    In the middle of the conversation, there was another soft sound, but no one answered her.


    Ye zhiqiao finally felt strange and frowned unconsciously. After looking around, no one passed by, so he pursed his lips and tried to twist the doorknob.


    The door was unlocked!


    She tried and opened the office door. Before she could be surprised or apologize, the scene in front of her suddenly made her mouth wide open in horror!


    Facing the side of the office desk at the door, shen cang was lying on the ground, his body twitching incessantly. He could not see his expression clearly, but he could see the veins on his forehead tensed, and his face seemed to be flushed red!


    "President shen!"


    Ye zhiqiao exclaimed and rushed to shen cang''s side. She squatted down and saw his face. She couldn''t help but tremble.


    She had never seen a face like that. It was not red, it was purple! Violet!


    "...


    Shen cripple''s eyes were half narrowed, but he should be conscious. When he saw her, his voice made some angry sounds, but he couldn''t hear what he was saying.


    "President shen... What did you say?"


    After opening her mouth, ye zhiqiao realized that her voice was trembling so violently that it was almost out of tune.


    ... Medicine... Medicine..."


    After listening to him for a long time, ye zhiqiao finally recognized the word "Medicine."


    "Where''s the medicine?!" She looked around in a panic, only to see the medicine bottle and the scattered white pills under her feet.


    It seemed that what she heard just now was the sound of shen cang looking for medicine, but he couldn''t hold it in his mouth.


    But how should I take this medicine... How many pills should I take?!


    Ye zhiqiao reached out and scratched on the carpet, her hands shaking so badly that she finally grabbed a few pills in her hand. When she looked at the prescribed dosage on the medicine bottle, the sweat in her palm soaked all the pills again.


    That''s right! No water... No water...


    She was in a hurry to get up and look for water, but when she saw that her reaction had weakened, like a cripple about to faint, she squatted back down again.


    Life is at stake. There''s no time to find water. Let''s eat like this!


    She lifted her crippled head, fed the pills along his half-opened lips, and then lifted his chin up like in the tv series!


    "Swallow it... Shen cang... Swallow it..."


    After staying in this position for a long time, she saw that her body was no longer trembling, the veins on her forehead and neck were relaxed, and her face gradually recovered.


    After the panic, she realized that her hands and feet were numb, her face was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were pressed against her body.


    "President shen..."


    She patted shen cang on the shoulder and asked in a trembling voice, "I''ll call an ambulance. You have to go to the hospital."


    As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her body and dialed three numbers. Shen cang''s barely audible voice came over.


    "No need."


    "No need? But president shen, you..."


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to persuade him again, but shen cang turned over and sat up slowly with the support of the ground.


    Ye zhiqiao quickly got up and helped him back to her office chair. She was exhausted.


    When she ran to the tea and drank a cup of warm water, she watched shen cang drink it again. Ye zhiqiao still reminded her worriedly, "You should still go to the hospital in this situation. I''m afraid..."


    "Thank you, but you really don''t have to."


    Shen cang had almost recovered by now, and he had enough courage to speak, but his pale face and lips, which were as colorless as his face, were a little worrying.


    However, what she should have done was already done, and what she should have done was done. Since she was unwilling, ye zhiqiao had no reason to force her. Maybe she had other plans.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao did not speak again, shen cang said again, "Thank you, thank you for coming, or else I would die here without anyone knowing."


    "You''re welcome. It was just a coincidence, but just now... It was really dangerous." Ye zhiqiao answered with a smile, but she felt awkward about the second half of shen cang''s sentence.


    Perhaps frightened by the scene just now, ye zhiqiao always felt that the office was suffocating, so she told the disabled documents and then excused herself from work.


    After ye zhiqiao left, shen cang''s cold eyes stared straight at the door and did not move away for a long time.


    What a coincidence, what a coincidence.


    He was angry because of qu ning, and he fell ill as soon as his assistant left. He thought he was going to die here today, but ye zhiqiao appeared so timely.


    Was it to deliver the documents, or did they discover something?


    And the way he was acting was so terrifying that her first reaction was not to ask for help but to come up to him to check. Her quick movements at that time did not look like she was frightened. Was it because she was calm or had ulterior motives?


    "Heh -"


    Shen cang sneered, thinking that this ye zhiqiao was getting more and more interesting!


    When she returned to the personnel department office, ye zhiqiao felt a strange look around her as soon as she entered the door.


    Wherever she went, it was as if a cold arrow was shooting at her back.


    She had no idea how she had offended these people. Obviously, everyone had been too lazy to talk to her before, too lazy to talk about her scandal, but how did they start again after sending a document back?!


    Could it be... That they knew about shen cripple?


    Ye zhiqiao was puzzled. If they knew that shen cang was ill, why didn''t they go in and help?


    "Ouch! The busy man is back!"


    Before she could think about it, luo shasha''s voice had exploded in the office.


    With a leader, those who had been whispering followed suit.


    "He''s busy, Shasha. Tell the manager in the future not to arrange tasks for him. Just let him take care of him."

 Chapter 504 Ye Zhiqiao Fought Back Against Everyone

    "That is to say, he is too proud to do our work. It''s the kind that''s good for babysitting, the one that''s close to you!"


    "Hehe hehe..."


    As soon as this was said, everyone else covered their mouths and snickered, but the wind in their eyes swept over ye zhiqiao''s side, as if they wanted to see her reaction.


    Ye zhiqiao did not notice their thoughts, but realized that they did not know about shen cang''s illness.


    With the principle of saying too much and losing everything, she secretly reminded herself that she must not tell anyone about shen cripple''s illness. Although she was not sure if shen cripple''s illness was something everyone knew, she had the responsibility to keep it a secret from what she had just seen.


    While the colleagues were still discussing something, ye zhiqiao was not in the mood to listen, so she took a proposal and went to brother liu''s position for advice.


    Brother liu was in his thirties, but he was not old enough to work for the company. It was said that he had been working for nearly ten years, and his colleagues would ask him for advice when they encountered problems.


    The manager told her all this.


    Most importantly, when she reported this morning, everyone was pointing at each other, and only brother liu nodded and smiled at her.


    "Hello, brother liu. May I trouble you?" Ye zhiqiao leaned down and asked politely.


    Brother liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled amiably and said, "Okay, you can talk about it."


    "Thank you." Ye zhiqiao thanked her and took out the proposal she had just taken over. Pointing to one of the above, she said, "Here are the arrangements for product marketing personnel. It says that there are five assistants required. I went to check and felt that with the current size of the company, there shouldn''t be so many assistants, but this was left by the last colleague. I''m afraid I made a mistake, so I want to ask you for advice."


    "You''re welcome. Let me take a look."


    Brother liu took the proposal and picked up several important sections to read quickly.


    Ye zhiqiao stood by and stared at the cup on his table, lost in thought. She thought that she would have to trouble others in the future.


    But before she could think of anything, luo shasha''s bitter voice exploded in her ears.


    "Ouch, ouch! Asking questions? Brother liu, you really are. Why don''t you let go of your new little sister?"


    Brother liu was obviously a real person. Hearing this, his ears turned red, but he still had a simple and honest smile on his face. He explained, "Zhiqiao doesn''t understand here. Let me help you take a look."


    Luo shasha glanced at ye zhiqiao from the corner of her eyes, then said to brother liu, "Brother, you should be more careful. Did you call Zhiqiao? If president shen knew, he would skin you!"


    Brother liu heard the implication and glanced at ye zhiqiao. Then he cleared his throat and waved his hand with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense. Don''t meddle in other people''s affairs. Just do your job well."


    Ye zhiqiao replied with a grateful smile.


    However, at this time, a few good female colleagues gathered around to help luo shasha feel aggrieved, "Shasha is helping you. Why don''t you tell the good from the bad? You''ve been working so hard to help people read documents, but they don''t know how to work here and earn more than you. Why?!"


    "Cut, that''s it! You''re the only one who earns more money by selling a smile than you do by working yourself to death for half a month."


    "If you had learned a little more about the world, you would have been promoted a long time ago. After all these years of standing still, is it because of your stubborn brain?"


    "...


    The crowd began to chatter, their voices getting louder and the content getting worse.


    Ye zhiqiao never cared about this kind of exclusion. Even though she did care at first, working for the gu family for a period of time made her completely categorize this behavior as low intelligence and boredom.


    But just because she doesn''t care doesn''t mean others don''t care.


    Luo shasha was trying to push her out and make things difficult for her, but now brother liu, who was kind enough to help her, was blushing with shame. He was clearly not happy anymore, but it was not easy to get angry when he saw that the other party was a woman. He still had a thin smile on his face.


    Well, it looks like the first day of this is going to be a killing spree...


    Ye zhiqiao secretly sighed, then suddenly raised her voice and said, "Shut up!"


    It was a thunderstorm, but the group of people who were still talking about their energy were really scared, and the scene immediately quieted down.


    Luo shasha reacted quickly and raised her eyebrows first, "What are you doing? We talked to you?!"


    "No matter who you talk to, this is the office. Instead of working during office hours, you gather to chat, talk about the privacy of the boss and insult your colleagues. As long as you are a member of the company, you have the right to stop you!"


    Ye zhiqiao''s words were forceful and reasonable, but even a group of helpers behind luo shasha had no idea.


    From the moment ye zhiqiao entered the door in the morning, they began to sneer. Seeing that ye zhiqiao didn''t even dare to speak, they thought that they had met a soft persimmon. This time, not only was he not a soft persimmon, but he was also a bit tough.


    "I know what you think..."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes slowly swept across the faces of the crowd, some shrinking, some dissatisfied, some sneering, and some angry, but she only wore a calm smile and continued, "You must be very dissatisfied that I was brought in directly by president shen without any interview. Indeed, I am still not familiar with the work in your department for the time being, and may delay things or even make mistakes. But I can guarantee that in a very short time, I can take over completely, and I don''t believe you can wait and see. And it''s not just me. Even those who come in for a formal interview need time, right?"


    "Don''t say those useless things!"


    Luo shasha sneered, looked at her coldly and said, "You know we''re not talking about this. If you have the ability, of course you can come in, but the way you come in is not very bright. Why should we believe you?!"


    "Yeah, yeah, I interviewed four times in a row to get into the company!" A short, fat little girl next to him said with her neck stuck up.


    The backdoor was the same as cheating on exams, so the client was comfortable and convenient, but those who had worked hard had become cannon fodder.


    Ye zhiqiao understood this and felt very sorry, but in the real world, this kind of thing is unavoidable.


    There were teachers in the exam room who caught cheating, but no one could control the back door of the workplace. As long as the boss was willing, who would dare to say "No" ?


    These unconvinced people, they want to be fair, that''s right.


    But what made them feel unfair was ye zhiqiao and shen cang, but they were afraid of shen cang''s position and did not dare to resist. They only dared to vent their anger at ye zhiqiao. Were their actions fair?

 Chapter 505 The Storm in the Villa

    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath and shook her head, "I can''t tell you why president shen brought me into the company, because this is between us, but what I can tell you is that our relationship is very pure."


    "Who would believe that?!"


    Luo shasha rolled her eyes and said.


    "Believe it or not, it''s up to you." Ye zhiqiao glanced at her and said to herself, "There''s no need for you to talk about the sarcasm just now, because it''s useless. As long as I don''t want to, you can''t drive me away by any means. You can try it if you don''t believe me."


    "Also, you can push me out and make things difficult for me, but it''s best not to involve others. One more enemy is better than one more friend, don''t you think? Besides, you guys should be in a lot of trouble, brother liu. It''s better not to tear your face."


    After the last reminder, ye zhiqiao lowered her head and smiled at brother liu, then pulled out the proposal in his hand, walked around the group of people who were still standing there, and walked back to her seat.


    A group of people led by luo shasha seemed to be frozen. They were stunned for a long time before they regained their strength.


    When it comes to new recruits who are not bullied when they first enter the workplace, they have never seen such a person like ye zhiqiao before. It is simply... It is simply the visual sense of a strong woman!


    However, it seems that this is the case for people. When they encounter soft stubble, they go up and kick their feet to spit. When they encounter hard stubble, they dare not lift their heads. They have to trot around with them.


    Since that day, the group of women had been much more restrained. When ye zhi happened to be away, they didn''t know what to do, but as long as she was present, they felt as if they were afraid. They would not say a word, but they would not be close to her.


    That''s good. Ye zhiqiao didn''t want to be distracted during working hours. She could concentrate on her work and earn enough money at the end of the month to pay shen cang back before renting a house.


    A few days passed in a row, and the days were dull. Until this day, shen cang ran out of the office in a hurry during working hours, just in time to run into ye zhiqiao who was looking for him.


    "Mr. Shen, here..."


    "I''m in a hurry. I''ll talk to you later!"


    Ye zhiqiao had just said half of it, but shen cang patted her on the shoulder and left without looking back.


    All the way back to the villa, shen cang did not even enter the garage, directly put the car across the gate, fell on the door and rushed into the house.


    In the european-style living room, two bodyguards were guarding the shivering woman sitting on the sofa.


    Hearing the noise, the three of them raised their heads and looked over. After that, the woman trembled even more, as if she would faint at any moment.


    "President shen."


    A bodyguard came over and reported to shen cang, "I found her at the entrance of the hotel. The assistant said you asked her to come here."


    "Yeah." Shen cang said yes, then waved for the two to go down.


    The two bodyguards looked at each other, bowed to shen cang, and then quietly pushed the door and left.


    There were only two people left in the entire villa.


    Shen cang''s eyes were already red unconsciously, but not because of sadness, but because of anger!


    The woman on the sofa seemed to feel the colder and colder air pressure around her. She did not dare to look up and jumped straight at shen cang!


    "I''m sorry! I''m sorry... I was wrong... I won''t dare anymore... Spare me..."


    Shen cang looked down at her coldly, "What''s wrong?"


    The woman replied quickly, "I shouldn''t have left you, I shouldn''t have taken the contract, I shouldn''t have angered you... It''s all my fault... I wanted to come back... I was just scared..."


    Shen cang raised his head, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.


    This woman has been with him for nearly ten years, and there are still some feelings, and there are still some...


    He leaned down, lifted her chin with one finger, gently wiped away the tears from her delicate face and asked softly, "Qu ning, do you love me?"


    Qu ning was startled, then burst into tears, "I love you! You never... Don''t know... How much I love you..."


    "Good."


    Shen cang smiled with satisfaction, then extended his long arm and picked her up, "Let me see how much you love me."


    His long legs quickly alternated and he hurried upstairs to the bedroom. Shen cang threw the woman in his arms onto the bed and pulled out the handcuffs from the bedside table with a tight face.


    Qu ning had not recovered from the dizziness yet, but when she sensed the crippled movement, she could not help but tremble all over!


    She knew... She knew that shen can''t let her go so easily! Every time she used that thing, it was a time when she was in a terrible mood, and she was treated even more cruelly.


    She loved shen cang, he always liked to make her hurt in this kind of thing, she also tried to bear it, and even could deliberately make a happy expression in order to make him happy, but... But once she used handcuffs, she couldn''t move, shen cang would be more excited, every time she felt that she was going to die!


    So scary, so scary!


    She tried her best to suppress the heart that was about to jump out of her throat and knelt down beside the bed to untie shen cang''s belt. Her voice trembled but she could discuss gently, "Shen... Shen cang... Don''t use that, okay? I''ll make you comfortable... Please..."


    Hearing this, shen cang''s face turned grim. He grabbed her neck and pressed his face against hers, "You don''t want to? What you just said was a lie?"


    "No... No... Ah!!"


    Qu ning wanted to explain, but shen cang wouldn''t give her time at all.


    It was as easy for a man to deal with a woman as the back of his hand. Soon qu ning''s hands were locked at the head of the bed, and his feet were tied with ropes. The ends of the ropes... Were connected to the foot of the bed.


    Qu ning was lying flat on the bed in a big shape with nothing on her body. Fear and humiliation made qu ning cry incessantly.


    But it was this heartbreaking cry that made him even more excited and excited to the point of madness when it fell into his crippled ears!


    "Don''t you love me? Prove to me how much you love me?!!"


    With a roar, he pulled out his belt and slapped his fair, smooth skin.


    After a while, qu ning''s body was covered with red marks, most of which had already oozed blood!


    Bright red and white, the perfect combination.


    Shen cang stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth. Finally, he dropped his belt and his legs softened. He ran towards the dying woman...


    But what happened next also caused qu ning to scream uncontrollably.


    The sound insulation of the villa was very good, and all the cruel screams were gathered inside. From the outside, it was still a luxurious and luxurious european-style villa.


    The leaves of the palm trees in the yard were fluttering, and the unknown flowers on the grass were dancing freely. After the wind stopped, peace gradually returned to the villa.

 Chapter 506 Revenge

    Qu ning huddled up under the quilt and was held by shen cang in his chest, motionless, as if he had passed out.


    Shen cang leaned against the bed and narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.


    "Ringling -"


    The ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang in the quiet environment, causing the heart to beat faster.


    Shen cang pulled qu ning aside and bent down to reach for his trousers on the ground.


    He took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that the name on it was "Ye zhiqiao." He cleared his throat and picked up the phone.


    On the other side, ye zhiqiao seemed to be relieved, and then said, "President shen, I''m sorry to disturb you. I have something urgent here, so I keep calling you."


    It sounded like she had already made several phone calls. The noise was so loud that she didn''t hear it.


    Shen cang pricked his eyelids and remembered that he had received news from his assistant that he had found qu ning, and then ran into ye zhiqiao when he was in a hurry to go out. At that time, she seemed to have something to say.


    Intentionally apologizing, shen canwen said, "It''s okay. It''s my problem to delay your work. You don''t have to apologize. What, are you in trouble?"


    The gentle and delicate language was different from the one used to torture qu ning.


    Although shen cang was sick, he was sure that he had no split personality. In fact, his mood was still not very good. He had to deal with qu ning for at least four or five days to completely calm down. However, when facing outsiders, especially ye zhiqiao, who was interested in him recently, he had to put on his usual mask.


    But qu ning, who had been cast aside by him, had no idea what he was thinking.


    On the other side of the soft bed, qu ning had already opened her eyes.


    There was fatigue, fear, injury, happiness, humiliation in those seductive eyes... But the only thing that was not there was sleepiness.


    She pretended to sleep in order to escape the second punishment of shen cripple, and also in exchange for shen cripple''s pity and sympathy. But after hearing his voice on the phone behind her back, all she could see was jealousy!


    From the time she met him, from the first time she slept with him, she had never experienced his tenderness.


    Every word and every action of his would only make her feel pain, but he never restrained himself, and he was only happy when he saw her pain!


    In order to love him, she was willing, she was willing to bear for nearly ten years!


    Every time she thought about it, she even felt happy, because only she could endure shen cang, and only she was willing to give up all her pride for shen cang. Although shen cang never mentioned it, in her heart, she was already shen cang''s fiancee.


    But... There was a ye zhiqiao...


    Without any warning, this woman named ye zhiqiao appeared between her and shen cripple.


    She thought that her cruel love was as bigoted, cruel, and cold as when she was with her, but when she saw that woman, she realized that it was not like this!


    Shen cang spoke to that woman in a gentle voice, and he was a perfect gentleman. In the past few days, she had asked someone to investigate him. Shen cang not only gave her a job, but also gave her money to treat her to dinner... Every time he got along with her, shen cang took care of her, just like every man who tried to please a woman!


    In the past, she thought that shen cang would never do anything. Shen cang did it for that woman...


    Is this the love of the dead?


    No! No!


    The cruel and paranoid shen cang is the real one, and the rest is an illusion!


    It wasn''t that shen cang fell in love with ye zhiqiao, it was ye zhiqiao who seduced shen cang on purpose. It must be. As long as shen cang hated ye zhiqiao, he would return to her, wholeheartedly... By her side.


    The corner of qu ning''s mouth slowly opened, revealing the white teeth inside. A drop of blood oozed from the tight lips. She stuck out the tip of her tongue and swallowed it.


    After that day, she returned to the company and became a crippled secretary. It was just that when she was not busy at work, in addition to accompanying shen cripple, she always took the time to go downstairs to the personnel department for a tour.


    Ye zhiqiao was really a coward. She wanted to steal a man from her, but she didn''t even dare to look at her. Every time she met her, she was respectful, like a complete servant.


    But no matter what, she soon got what she wanted.


    A white shirt, black or gray skirt, five-centimeter heels that match the color of the dress, loose hair or a bun, it''s the rainy season, and you always hold a transparent umbrella on rainy days.


    This was the result of her observation of ye zhiqiao in the past few days.


    To make sure that her observation was correct, she took advantage of the weekend to buy the same outfit, of course, these were secretly done behind shen cripple''s back.


    On a rainy day the next week, after work, she took the excuse to let shen cang go home first, then ran to the public toilet not far from the company to change into this outfit, holding a transparent umbrella, and returned to the company.


    She lowered her head slightly and walked around the human resources department, then went to the crippled office, closed the door and stood quietly in the office for a few minutes, then quickly walked out, occasionally looking around, looking guilty.


    When she came out of the company, she didn''t meet anyone. Well, her plan had already succeeded by more than half!


    Last stop, petrus restaurant.


    In the luxurious and bright western restaurant, elegant piano music flowed like water. Qu ning walked in slowly. A waiter immediately welcomed her and led her to a corner seat.


    There, a chubby chinese man had been waiting for a long time.


    Seeing that she had arrived, the man narrowed his eyes and stood up, smiling and saying, "Secretary qu, welcome! I''ve heard that secretary qu is a first-rate beauty by president shen''s side. Seeing her today, she is indeed worthy of her reputation."


    He ordered the waiter to serve, and the man personally pulled the chair for qu ning. After she sat down, he returned to his seat and sat down.


    Qu ning smiled faintly, and the crystal lamp above her head had lost its luster, "Mr. Feng, you''re welcome. It''s my pleasure to take time out of your busy schedule to meet your appointment."


    Secretary qu''s small mouth is really sweet. Feng mou likes you like that!"


    Flirting in the business world was as casual as drinking. Qu ning and shen cang had been used to it for so many years, so naturally they wouldn''t take it seriously.


    However, in order to take care of president feng''s face, she still covered her mouth and pretended to be shy and smiled a few times, even though her heart was already nauseous enough to vomit out.


    The appetizers were served and she took a few bites at Mr. Feng''s warm invitation. Then she put down her fork and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, "Mr. Feng, I asked you out this time mainly because I heard you were competing with the Shen shi for a project recently."

 Chapter 507 Each Has His Own Evil Plan

    "Yes, but the shen family is rich and powerful. I''m afraid that I, feng mou, will only hit a stone with an egg."


    Feng longqiang had a sly look in his eyes. He knew that zhai ning would not find him so easily, but he did not expect this to be so straightforward.


    "Although the Shen shi is rich and powerful, the feng family may not be an egg, so don''t underestimate yourself."


    Zhai ning covered her mouth and smiled gently, but her eyes were completely indifferent. She knew that when dealing with an old man of this color, besides being beautiful, she had to be sweet.


    "Miss zhai is president shen''s personal secretary. The foundation of the Shen shi group is so big, how can it be compared to my little feng family? President shen is a handsome and elegant person, and he has achieved much better results than me when he is far below my age. Feng mou is not worthy of it."


    What feng longqiang said was true. Shen cang started out as a gangster and started a career in the underworld when he was a teenager. Everyone knew that shen cang was in poor health. But because of this, shen cang didn''t take his own life seriously. There were many ruthless and powerful people in the underworld. With power, shen cang settled down, and then began to work as a company. He was just as successful as before and could still cover up the world in business. No one else had such experience, and neither did feng longqiang. How could he be afraid of shen cang and the Shen shi group?


    "What president feng said is true. President shen''s grade, qingqing, has made a great achievement. Has president feng ever thought about whose credit this is?"


    Zhai ning blinked. She had been in shen can''s hands for so many years because she loved shen can, but she did help shen can a lot. Without zhai ning, shen can''t surpass these old men in business so quickly.


    "Of course, we can''t do without miss zhai''s help. Miss zhai is not only beautiful as a flower, but also a first-class worker. Otherwise, how could she be kept by shen for so many years?"


    Feng longqiang had lived for so many years, and he would not think that with shen cang''s strong and vigorous character in business, he would let a vase stay by his side for so many years.


    He had known zhai ning for a long time. He had been with shen cripple for many years, but he could not do without any real ability.


    "Mr. Feng is full of false praise. Then Mr. Feng thinks that I came to see you for what?"


    Zhai ning knew that feng longqiang was extremely suspicious, and she could tell that she was not completely off guard against feng longqiang.


    It would be better to let feng longqiang speak for himself than to say it himself and not to win his trust with all his words.


    "I''m just a big, rough person. I only see miss zhai''s beauty. I can''t let go of anything else. If miss zhai has something to say, just say it."


    Feng longqiang had already seen zhai ning through. She was the most jealous. When he was competing with the Shen shi, he started asking people about the Shen shi. Naturally, he heard that there was a woman who was personally brought into the office by shen cang.


    "Hmph, old fox."


    Zhai ning cursed in her heart.


    "President feng is indeed a forthright person. I know a lot about the internal situation of the Shen shi from the inside. Shen cang is just barely breathing. Otherwise, he wouldn''t value the cooperation he has won this time. I, at a young age, naturally don''t want to waste any more time in this company. President feng is different. President feng is brave and resourceful. He is zhai ning''s best candidate."


    Although zhai ning was tired of feng longqiang in her heart, she had to flatter feng longqiang in order to complete the plan to pin the blame on that slut.


    "Oh? If miss zhai came to my company, I, feng mou, would naturally be happy, but president shen sees miss zhai as the apple of his eye, how can he bear to part with her?"


    Although feng longqiang competed with shen cang, it was only commercial. He still didn''t have this anger when he confronted shen cang on the surface. After all, shen cang''s underworld background was enough to make him stop.


    "I know president feng won''t believe me like that. In order to show my sincerity, I specially brought the contract that president shen personally drafted this time."


    As she spoke, zhai ning took out the contract from her bag and handed it to feng longqiang.


    "Yes, yes, miss zhai is really efficient."


    Feng longqiang took over the contract and praised zhai ning repeatedly.


    This cooperation was vital to the Shen shi and shen cang, so feng longqiang had to fight for it.


    Those who didn''t know thought that feng longqiang was simply fighting for business with the Shen shi. In fact, feng longqiang had long wanted to replace the Shen shi, so he would fight with shen cang at this juncture.


    "Since Mr. Feng is satisfied, I''ll leave first. As for the reward..."


    Zhai ning paused and continued, "After this is done, I believe that president feng will not lose my reward."


    Then, zhai ning got up and left. She knew that feng longqiang, the old fox, would not believe her so easily. After she left, she believed that feng longqiang would check the authenticity of the contract. So she simply gave the old fox a chance, a chance to check the authenticity of the contract.


    "Take your time, miss zhai. Feng mou won''t see you off."


    Feng longqiang said slowly, finally waiting for zhai ning''s figure to leave completely, feng longqiang quickly opened the contract and looked at the contract money one by one.


    After confirmation, feng longqiang nodded at ease and looked very satisfied.


    "Someone..."


    Feng longqiang clapped his hands, and a man who looked like a secretary pushed the door open and bowed respectfully to feng longqiang, "Boss, what can I do for you?"


    "You are the person I trust the most. What do you think of zhai ning?"


    Feng longqiang touched his chin subconsciously as he spoke. The contract that zhai ning gave him was real. It was also true that he wanted to use the contract to trip the Shen shi and shen cang.


    "Miss zhai''s ability is limited and she can''t help shen cang. How can she help the boss?"


    The secretary squinted slightly. He had seen many people like zhai ning and knew that his boss didn''t believe zhai ning. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have asked him.


    "Of course I know, but this contract is a little troublesome."


    Feng longqiang tapped a few fingers on the table. If he took the contract, he would naturally be able to snatch the Shen shi. But if the matter was exposed, he and the feng family would also be ruined...


    "Boss, it''s not easy for us to compete with the Shen shi for this list. Now that we have a contract, we can use the contract to overwhelm the Shen shi and then sell our drafted contract to shen cripple. In this way, not only can we make a profit, but also can make shen cripple bleed a lot."


    The secretary''s brain spun rapidly and finally came up with such an idea.


    "Okay, okay!"


    Feng longqiang laughed with satisfaction.

 Chapter 508 Someone Else

    "Ring - ring - ring" the office phone rang. Shen cang was looking at the file. When he heard the phone ring, he reached out his slender finger and pressed the connect button.


    "Hello?" With some drawn-out notes, the slightly magnetic male voice was mesmerizing.


    But the person on the other side of the phone obviously didn''t have the intention. "President shen, our contract seems to have been stolen!"


    "What do you mean, it seems to be stolen? Make it clear!" Shen cang naturally felt bad when he heard the news, but the manager''s vague words over there were even more infuriating.


    "Feng long forced us to bid on the bottom line of our cooperation here. He may know the contents of this contract." The manager was offended by shen cang''s cold tone, so he quickly explained what happened. He also knew that shen cang had a bad temper now. If he could not provoke him, he would not provoke him.


    "I know!" Shen cang hung up.


    After putting down the phone, shen cripple''s anger had reached its peak. Shen cripple could not care about this project, but there was an insider in the company, so shen cripple was surprised, which was not allowed to happen.


    Qu ning, who was sorting out the information, was secretly laughing. Normally, when shen cang was angry, qu ning would try his best to reduce his sense of existence so as not to let shen cang''s anger burn on him. But today, she walked over as usual.


    "What''s wrong?" Qu ning''s hand was crooked and circled shen cang''s chest.


    "It''s okay. I found some bugs around me." Shen cang grabbed qu ning''s boneless hand and slowly flirted with her.


    Qu ning was in a better mood, and two blushes appeared on her face.


    Shen cang''s big hand held the jade rabbit on her chest. Qu ning could not help but cry out in pain because shen cang held it too hard. Qu ning felt that her two little cuties were a little deformed.


    Shen cang didn''t care about qu ning''s voice. He just wanted to vent his anger, and qu ning happened to catch up with him.


    "President shen, this bug is too small to stay." Qu ning said to shen cang, enduring the discomfort.


    Shen cang listened to her words and began to think. The strength in his hands was much less, just like an unconscious caress, which made qu ning feel more comfortable. After a while, she moved and climbed up like an octopus, but shen cang pushed her away.


    "I see. You can check the surveillance in the office."


    Reluctantly, qu ning got up and tidied up her clothes. She opened her long thighs and went to the security department to find control. As she walked, she thought, "Ye zhiqiao, you''re done!"


    At this time, ye zhiqiao did not know.


    Qu ning brought the surveillance. "President shen, this is the surveillance record of the last month. Do you want to see it all?" Qu ning approached shen cang as she spoke, as if she wanted to finish what she had not done.


    Shen cang gave her a cold look. "Do what you have to do!"


    Qu ning was frightened by his crippled eyes and left the office, not daring to make a sound.


    Not long after he left, he met luo shasha head-on. "Sister ning, I think you went to the security department just now. What''s wrong?"


    Luo shasha was very snobbish and qu ning looked down on her, but qu ning also enjoyed her compliments. "It''s nothing serious. The company''s contract has been leaked. President shen is investigating."


    "Ah, is there a suspect?" Luo shasha asked curiously.


    "You''re so curious about what to do, aren''t you?" Qu ning asked in an unfriendly tone.


    "Why? You don''t know what I look like, sister ning?" Luo shasha said with a smile.


    "You wouldn''t dare." After qu ning finished speaking, she twisted her slender waist and went to the tea room.


    Looking at qu ningyuan''s back, luo shasha spat fiercely on the ground. "Bah, I really think I''m very powerful. Isn''t it just a coquettish thing?"


    Although luo shasha was dissatisfied with qu ning, it did not hinder her gossip from spreading.


    "Hey, you know, our company''s contract is lost!"


    "Ah, when did it happen?"


    "In the last few days, it seems that our company has a mole."


    "If there is, then there is. It''s not me. I''ll just do my job."


    "Ouch, isn''t it too easy for you to think? You think if you lose your contract, someone will have to take responsibility for such a big thing. If you offend the leader today, he will put you on a false charge. You can''t even cry."


    "Ah--"


    "Also, if the benefits are not good this time, our wages will probably shrink!"


    For a moment, the whole company was in a state of panic.


    In the office, shen cang tapped on the computer, a white shirt, black or gray skirt on the monitor, five-centimeter heels that matched the color of the skirt, loose hair, and a transparent umbrella in her hand, sneaked into the office, hastily picked up the contract and left.


    This dress is very familiar with shen cang. It is ye zhi''s dress these days. Is there any special purpose for ye zhi to come into the company?


    Shen cang felt uncomfortable, he didn''t want to believe that it was ye zhi who leaked the secret, but before ye zhi came to the company, this really never happened, which made shen cang have to suspect ye zhiqiao.


    "Go get ye zhiqiao." Shen cang ordered.


    After a while, ye zhiqiao came to the office. She knocked on the door gently and only entered when she heard someone say yes.


    "Ye zhiqiao, what do you mean?" Shen cang asked as soon as she entered.


    "What''s wrong?" Ye zhi was a little confused.


    "Watch for yourself!" Shen cang threw the computer to her.


    Ye zhiqiao didn''t catch it. The computer fell to the floor. Fortunately, the carpet was spread in the office. The computer didn''t break.


    Ye zhiqiao carefully picked up the computer and saw the image on the screen. Thinking of the previous rumors, she finally understood why shen cang was so angry.


    "What else do you have to say?" Shen cang asked. In fact, according to shen cang''s character, he would never ask about this kind of thing, and directly let people pack their things and get out of the way. But when it came to ye zhiqiao, he didn''t know why, but he hoped that ye zhiqiao could explain. No matter how bad the explanation was, he wanted to hear her say it. He wanted to see what kind of means the woman who could impress president gu had.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at the surveillance video carefully and came to shen cang with her computer.


    "President shen, please believe me. Although the people in the surveillance are very similar to my clothes, this is not me."


    Hearing ye zhi''s words, shen cang''s mood inexplicably improved.


    "Why not you?" Shen cang asked.


    "This dress is very similar to mine. Most people will think it''s me when they see it, but there''s a small detail here. I don''t have this kind of accessory." Ye zhi pointed to the figure on the screen and explained.


    Shen cang looked at the computer carefully. Looking at the accessories, he felt a little familiar, but he was sure that the accessories were not ye zhiqiao''s. "Well, I know. You go to work first."


    Ye zhiqiao nodded and left.


    Back in her seat, ye zhi began to think. From the surveillance, she could tell that she was a woman, but she had just come to the company, and she did not have any enemies with anyone. Who was the one who wanted to hurt me?

 Chapter 509 Negotiation

    After ye zhiqiao left, shen cang scratched his hair impatiently, but ye zhiqiao was recruited into the company by himself. If she really had any problems, it was his own fault.


    But now from the surveillance, it seems that there is really nothing wrong with ye zhiqiao.


    Shen cang was surprised. He looked at the monitor again and again without believing in the evil. He didn''t believe that the other party was really so powerful and didn''t show any signs of weakness.


    After several hours of monitoring, he was almost suffocated by the high speed of his brain, but the contract was crucial, so he had to find it. After all, it affected the fate of the company.


    Shen cang didn''t see anything after looking for a long time. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn''t help but feel irritated. After so long, he had no clue at all, but now he didn''t know where to look except for what he could find out from the surveillance.


    He had no choice but to look at the screen again. At that moment, he saw a familiar figure quickly enter the office. He almost subconsciously pressed the pause button.


    Shen cang saw that this time point was exactly the time when the contract was lost, so this person...


    Only now did shen cang realize that this person was the figure he just thought was ye zhiqiao. So far, only this figure was the most suspicious, but who was this figure?


    Ye zhiqiao said it wasn''t her, because she didn''t have the accessory of that figure on her.


    Shen cang pondered... Accessories?


    The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. He closed his eyes and pondered. His slender fingers rubbed his temples a few times, "I didn''t expect it. I didn''t expect it."


    No wonder he looked familiar. Isn''t this accessory zhai ning''s?


    So that figure was really not ye zhiqiao but zhai ning, but why did zhai ning do this?


    Shen can stared at the familiar figure on the screen with wide eyes. It was unbelievable that it was zhai ning, who usually looked gentle.


    Shen cang felt that he could not find a reason for zhai ning to do this, and the matter could only be solved by calling zhai ning over.


    Just as he was about to ask his assistant to call zhai ning over, the assistant came in on his own.


    "You''re just in time. Go get zhai ning for me." Shen cang tried his best to keep his expression calm.


    Regardless of whether zhai ning stole the contract or not, he couldn''t let himself lose his composure. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be known what those people would think.


    "President shen, president feng is here to talk to you about the future of the company." The little assistant whispered, afraid that one of her messengers would get hurt.


    Shen can squinted. Why did feng longqiang, the old fox, suddenly come to him for tea?


    Shen cang suddenly had a bad feeling, what to discuss the future of the company? Shen cang felt that feng longqiang must have something against him.


    He had originally planned to call zhai ning over for questioning, so he had to put this matter aside and settle the internal affairs later. As for feng longqiang, he wanted to see what feng longqiang had on him.


    "Let him in."


    Soon, feng longqiang came in under the guidance of his secretary.


    "Why does president feng have time to visit me today?" Shen cang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.


    Feng longqiang smiled twice, "President shen is busy now. It''s hard for me to see the last one."


    Of course, shen cang knew what feng longqiang meant by saying that he had waited so long to come.


    Shen cang looked at feng longqiang and smiled, "The company has been doing well recently. Of course, I''m a little busy."


    The provocation in the language was self-evident.


    Feng longqiang''s face did not change at all. He still looked at shen canfeng with a smile and said lightly, "I have to work hard. After all, this company has no chance to be busy in the future."


    Shen cang was stunned. Feng longqiang''s words were not right. How could shen cang not understand what feng longqiang meant? There were only two possibilities for the company not to be busy. One was that it was closed down, and the other was that there was no project. No matter which one was useless to the company.


    Feng longqiang would say that all of a sudden. He must have something on him.


    "President feng said that. Oh! By the way, I almost forgot to ask why president feng suddenly came to visit." Shen cang was confused and angry again. His face was still smiling.


    Feng longqiang smiled. From his point of view, this crippled shen was still a little anxious.


    "President shen, what''s the rush? I just came to see you for tea."


    The more anxious shen cang was, the more beneficial it was for him, so feng longqiang deliberately exhausted shen cang''s patience.


    Shen cang was taken aback. He was indeed in a hurry. Although he already knew that the feng family had overpaid his own price, this matter was still undecided.


    And now he couldn''t help but say a word. Even if there was something in feng longqiang''s hand, it wouldn''t be so easy to let go.


    "I am in a hurry, mainly because the company is really busy these days, so I have some unfinished business, I am afraid tea is not enough."


    Shen cang also knew that feng longqiang, the old fox, was just trying to use him up on purpose to put him in a bad position and then the better for feng longqiang.


    But he wasn''t stupid. Feng longqiang wanted to spend time with him, but he didn''t want to spend any time with feng longqiang.


    Feng longqiang''s smile stopped. He didn''t expect that shen cang would actually open his mouth to chase people away. He knew that shen cang wouldn''t take the lead.


    But the thing in his hand, shen cripple had to take it even if he didn''t take it.


    "President shen is so busy? Then I''m sorry to bother president shen again. I was going to return the contract I just made to him, but now it seems that president shen doesn''t have time to deal with idle people like me." Feng longqiang sneered.


    Feng longqiang lifted his foot and left. As he expected, shen cang stopped him.


    Shen cang subconsciously felt bad when he heard the word "Contract." Feng longqiang''s words made shen cang have to stop him.


    "What does president feng mean?" Shen cang was not in the mood to go around with feng long qiang.


    "President shen is so smart that he doesn''t understand what I mean?"


    Shen cang didn''t expect it to be what he thought. Zhai ning really betrayed him! The feng family''s defeat of the Shen shi was all due to zhai ning''s betrayal.


    No matter how shocked and angry shen can be, the only thing now is to get the contract back.


    "Say the terms." Since his face was torn, shen cang was naturally too lazy to pretend.


    "As long as total shen''s money is in place, things will naturally be easy to discuss."


    Shen cang smiled, "Want money? Dream."


    "In that case... The contract?" Feng longqiang threatened.


    The veins on shen cang''s hand popped. Feng longqiang dared to threaten him, but he had to say that threatening him with the contract was effective.


    Shen cang had no choice but to throw a card to feng longqiang.


    "Take it, get out!"

 Chapter 510 An Unexpected Ending

    Qu ning walked to the tea room, found a clean cup from the disinfector, put it under the coffee machine, and waited for a while before the machine ground a cup of coffee. Qu ning took out the sugar cubes from the cabinet and carefully added two and a half cubes and a spoonful of cream.


    This was his favorite flavor. Qu ning stirred the coffee slowly and thought to himself, "Sure enough, I am the one who knows him the best. Only I am worthy to be with him. Only I am qualified to be Mrs. Shen!"


    What kind of thing is ye zhi? I''ve been with president shen for ten years! Why did that little hoof compare to me in terms of size and appearance? But it doesn''t matter. I believe that when president shen sees the surveillance, that little bitch''s good days are over. How could president shen keep a leaked woman in the company?


    Thinking of this, qu ning seemed to see ye zhiqiao being kicked out of the company, and her mood became very wonderful, even her movements were a little lighter.


    Qu ning was holding a cup of coffee in her mind when she suddenly heard the conversation between the two of them.


    "Hey, you know what? The feng longqiang who is competing with us, Mr. Feng, has come to our company to look for Mr. Shen!"


    "What? Are you mistaken? Why does Mr. Feng come to our company? Are you here to have tea with president shen? What''s the relationship between the two companies now? I''m just kidding!"


    "Really..."


    "Did you really see president feng come to the company?" Qu ning asked in disbelief.


    "Ah, sister ning, what are you doing?" A female employee said pleasantly. When she saw qu ning holding the coffee, she also knew that it must be for president shen. She quickly turned away, afraid that qu ning would find trouble for herself with a chicken feather as an arrow.


    If it was normal, qu ning would have looked at the little transparent ones with her nose, and would stab them in a bad mood. But now qu ning had no such thoughts at all. She only cared about feng longqiang''s situation.


    "Tell me, have you seen president feng?" Qu ning was a little excited, grabbed the female employee''s shoulder and shook her.


    The female employee was frightened by qu ning''s appearance and stammered, "I... Heard from... A friend at the front desk today. President feng came to make an appointment with president shen and said he wanted to talk business..."


    Without waiting for the female staff to finish speaking, qu ning threw her away, picked up the coffee and hurried to the office.


    Qu ning really didn''t expect feng longqiang to be so shameless. Seeing the contract, he had to come to the company to get a bargain after taking advantage of it!


    That''s fine, but what if feng longqiang sold himself for profit? Qu ning never thought that feng longqiang would do such a thing. It was like playing a game of landlords. The farmer threw a bomb and there was only one card left in his hand. Seeing that the landlords still had a lot of cards in their hands, he felt that the victory was in his hands. But who knew that the landlords still had a king bomb in their hand. Then the card was broken in his hand!


    Along the way, qu Ningdu was thinking about countermeasures and unknowingly came to the office door. At this time, feng longqiang just left and they met like this.


    Feng long forced a smile at qu ning''s thief. Seeing him like this, qu ning had a bad feeling. He took a deep breath and prayed in his heart that shen cang did not know that he had stolen the contract.


    Qu ning knocked on the door. "Come in." Qu ning''s heart grew more and more worried when he heard his voice.


    "President shen, you brought me coffee. It''s still your favorite." Qu ning suppressed the panic in her heart, with an enchanting smile on her face, and outlined her graceful figure in her tight business attire.


    Most men have long been interested in seeing qu ning like this, but unfortunately, the person they saw was disabled and had been watching for ten years. Shen cang had long been immune to qu ning''s scheme.


    Looking at the coffee that qu ning had brought, shen cang raised his head and motioned for qu ning to put it on the table. He took out a cigar unhurriedly and sniffed it under his nose.


    Seeing this, qu ning quickly found the lighter and ordered a good cigar for shen remnant.


    "President shen, I just saw president feng leave the office. Is there anything he wants from you?" In the end, qu ning could not hold back and could only carefully think about the situation.


    "Mr. Feng came to talk to me about a business deal." Shen cang said, not salty.


    "Yeah, that''s weird. Now that our two families are so competitive, he''s coming to talk to us about business." Qu ning said with a deliberate smile.


    "I can''t help it. Someone made a deal with him quietly." Shen cang pulled qu ning into his arms, turned on the computer monitor, and pulled out the video from that day.


    Shen cang pointed at the woman in the monitor, who was wearing a white shirt, a black and gray skirt, five centimeters heels that matched the color of the dress, her hair down, and a transparent umbrella in her hand, "Who do you think she is?"


    Although qu ning was very flustered, how could she admit that it was her? At this point, she could only say, "Look at this outfit, it looks like the new ye zhiqiao."


    "Really?" Shen cang asked meaningfully.


    At this time, qu ning''s back was already covered in cold sweat. Looking at this, shen cang should have learned something from feng longqiang. Qu ning had already greeted feng longqiang''s eighteen generations in her heart.


    "Isn''t it, or did president shen hear something from someone else?" Qu ning was already in a panic. This made shen cang, who had suspected her before, certain that she was the one who stole the contract.


    But shen cang still didn''t understand why this woman did this. She had been with her for ten years, ten years. Even if she had a dog, she had feelings. Besides, she had slept naked with her for ten years.


    "Qu ning, you are an old man in the company. What would you do if this happened?" Shen cang continued to ask expressionless.


    If she hadn''t seen feng longqiang and developed according to qu ning''s original plan, she could have said a hundred vicious ways to get people to leave, but now she was not sure, "What can I do, president shen? See for yourself."


    "Qu ning, you disappoint me so much!" Shen cang grabbed qu ning''s face and his voice was cold.


    "President shen, don''t listen to feng longqiang''s nonsense. He''s trying to harm me..." Qu ning argued weakly.


    "What did feng longqiang say?"


    "No, I didn''t make a deal with him. President shen, you have to believe me. I didn''t. Ye zhiqiao and feng longqiang must have conspired to frame me." Qu ning quipped that she could only kill ye zhiqiao with the shadow on the monitor.


    "Really?" Shen cang grabbed qu ning''s wrist. Qu ning was in pain, but he didn''t dare to cry out.


    "Look at this bracelet!" Shen cang pointed to the figure on the computer and said.


    Qu ning also did not expect that he had planned for so long and was actually defeated by such an inconspicuous detail.


    How could it be? What should I do? Qu ning had no way to get back the lie. It was not feng long''s secret, but his own mistake.

 Chapter 511 To Commit a Sin, Not to Live

    Shen cang''s face suddenly changed, and his anger had burned through his mind. He never thought that the person who had brought such a great loss to him was the person he trusted the most. "


    Qu ning, how dare you! What did feng longqiang give you? "


    "No, shen cang, listen to me. I love you. I just love you too much..." Qu ning had fallen to the ground and explained incoherently, but could not give any reason.


    She couldn''t say that she didn''t do this for feng longqiang at all, but because ye zhiqiao made her feel threatened, she wanted ye zhiqiao to leave the company.


    She also did not want to cooperate with feng longqiang, and she hoped that shen cang could succeed in his career. But as long as she saw ye zhiqiao, she would go crazy with jealousy and try everything to make her disappear.


    Shen cang saw that qu ning could not explain anything, so he did not have the patience to wait any longer. Moreover, as long as he thought of feng longqiang''s arrogant face just now, an unknown fire erupted and shen cang slapped qu ning with his back!


    Five red marks immediately appeared on qu ning''s face. She looked incredulously at shen cang.


    "Why? I''ve been with you for ten years. Every time you used those methods for your own pleasure, I endured them. It wasn''t because I wanted to please you. I love you, but what did I get? Shen cang! Why, you can treat ye zhiqiao to dinner, so gently wipe the corners of her mouth, and me? What else did you leave for me besides the scars!"


    "What are you comparing with ye zhiqiao?"


    Shen cang roared. Qu ning''s words made him a little confused. In his opinion, qu ning was a plaything in bed, and ye zhiqiao was a bait to seduce gu. What was the comparison between the two? Women are strange creatures.


    "What do I compare to ye zhiqiao? Haha, shen cang, what am I comparing to? Don''t you know? I have to love more than you!"


    Qu ning roared with tears in his heart. Anyway, now qu ning knew that he was finished. When did shen cang let go of those who betrayed him? When he thought of shen cang''s split personality, qu ning could not see any hope.


    Since this had happened, qu ning simply broke the pot. "Shen cang, let me ask you, why are you completely different to me and ye zhiqiao?"


    Shen cang didn''t want to answer this question at all. He couldn''t tell qu ning that he wanted to find out why gu shi was interested in her.


    Shen cang called in the bodyguard, "You guys tie her back to my villa!"


    These bodyguards, who were big and rough, did not care for the beauty or the jade at all. Whoever paid them was the boss. Besides, qu ning''s current appearance did not dare to be flattered. She was a crazy woman. Her usual beauty and skill were gone.


    Qu ning struggled on the ground and kept asking shen cang, but this made shen cang even more upset. Shen cang waved his hand and signaled them to hurry up.


    This time, the bodyguards received the news without delay, and their hands were not heavy or light. Qu ning soon left many scars on her body.


    Qu ning thought that shen cang was torturing himself on purpose, and he was extremely desperate.


    The bodyguards carried qu ning out of the office. Qu ning was still shouting, "Shen cang, what do you think ye zhiqiao is better than me?"


    The soundproof effect of the crippled office was good. Qu ning didn''t even know about it, but qu ning was still shouting when she left the office, which made everyone else in the company know and all kinds of comments came out at once.


    "Do you know ye zhiqiao? That man is really good at his tricks!"


    "Oh, who doesn''t know? It''s really the yangtze river pushing the waves forward. It''s only been a few days and qu ning has been knocked down. It seems that this ability to seduce men is not low."


    "Qu ning is despised by president shen!"


    "How is that possible? She''s been with president shen for ten years and still thinks of herself as Mrs. Shen."


    "You don''t know that, do you? Heroes are sad, and beauties are afraid of being bald. Ten years, I think president shen has been annoying her, not to mention ye zhiqiao!"


    "Humph, qu ning deserves it. Who told her to be so domineering all day? I think it was shen who didn''t like her that liked ye zhiqiao."


    "What are you all doing? Are you done with your work? I don''t know what to do every day."


    The assistant from the office rushed over and watched the crowd drink.


    The excitement here had not ended yet, and new things had happened at ye zhiqiao''s place.


    Ye zhiqiao had been bothering brother liu these days and felt a little embarrassed, so she specially prepared a gift to thank him.


    "Brother liu, this is a gift I prepared for you. Thank you for helping me selflessly these days. I hope you like it."


    "Hey, xiao ye, you''re too polite. You''re all colleagues. It''s not a big deal. How can this be nice?" Old liu was an honest man and could not say anything beautiful, so he rubbed his hands awkwardly.


    Seeing that he was embarrassed, ye zhiqiao respected brother liu more and more in her heart. There were too few honest people like brother liu these days. Ye zhiqiao took two steps forward."


    This was the bodyguard who was pulling qu ning by. Qu ning only saw ye zhiqiao giving a present to old liu from a distance. When she got closer, she heard the words "One heart."


    Qu ning''s mind automatically generated, ye zhi qiao asked for dissatisfaction, in addition to shen cang, but also to find other wild men.


    It has to be said that people who lose their senses are very scary. Qu ning originally wanted to rush over and slap ye zhiqiao a few times. Why is she so miserable and you can still live so comfortably?


    But the bodyguard''s hands were too strong for her to break free. The only thing he could do was to take the second place and yell:


    "Ye zhiqiao, you bitch, you steal men! Don''t think nobody knows about your relationship with president shen!"


    "Qu ning, why are you slandering me?" Ye zhiqiao cried out discontentedly.


    Qu ning originally wanted to argue with ye zhiqiao, but the bodyguards covered her mouth and took her away.


    Old liu blushed and returned the gift to ye zhiqiao, "Well, xiao ye, I appreciate your kindness, so I don''t need it. It''s a misunderstanding."


    Ye zhiqiao was also embarrassed and didn''t know what to say.


    Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the company''s gossip has never been less. And the gossip about ye zhiqiao had escalated once.


    The bodyguard took qu ning back to the dilapidated villa, found a rope, tied her up, threw her on the bed, and left.


    Qu ning cried all the way, and then calmed down. Looking at the familiar bed, qu ning remembered shen cang''s cruel methods. As a woman, she had never gotten pleasure from being disabled, but she had always longed for it. Qu ning couldn''t help but burst into tears again after ten years.


    Ten years, how was she doing? Normally, she could pretend to be overbearing, but here she could only wag her tail and beg like a dog.


    "Why did I become like this? How can I live like this?" Qu ning kept asking himself.


    "Heaven has done evil, but you can still forgive it. You have done evil, but you cannot live..."


    Qu ning murmured softly. Perhaps he had chosen the wrong person and taken the wrong path from the beginning.

 Chapter 512 An Appointment

    On the surface, it was calm, but behind the surface, it was a tidal wave. Everything happened almost every second, no matter at home or abroad on the other side of the ocean.


    In china, gu mohan had never been calm, because of the entanglement of the little star, plus the various reports of reporters, the spread of the internet, resulting in his image in front of the public was hurt.


    So he was a little tired. This little star was really haunted. Where was this woman and what was she trying to do?


    "You go call the so-called star who died. I''ll meet her at coco''s cafe tonight." Gu mohan really couldn''t stand this kind of disturbance. All kinds of disturbance made him uneasy.


    The image of a company leader directly affects the image of the entire company, and now his image is not very optimistic in the eyes of the public, so he must solve this annoying person.


    "Okay, president." After the assistant finished speaking, gu mohan hung up the phone. The assistant was also sweating for this woman. No one had ever dared to pester the president of their family so much. This woman was the first.


    Oh, did you think you could attract a man''s attention just because you had a personality? The assistant was not joking with gu mohan for such a long time. He could tell that gu mohan was really angry this time, and there must be various arguments during this meeting.


    Little star ailer was very happy when she received the call, but then she also thought of the reason why gu mohan called her. She thought to herself, "It seems that I want to get rid of me. If I were so easily settled, I wouldn''t be entangled with you, gu mohan."


    Gu mohan left before it was time to get off work in the afternoon. It was important to see that woman this time, so we couldn''t ignore that once something happened, our image could plummet.


    Coming to the cafe, on the balcony, the two of them sat opposite each other. Gu mohan did not speak, but was looking at what this woman was up to.


    "Oh, Mr. Gu, you didn''t shout people out just to look at them." Ailey said with feigned reserve.


    In gu mohan''s eyes, it was a sign of disgust.


    Gu mo sneered coldly, dressed in a custom-made suit and luxurious leather shoes, his whole body revealed nobility.


    So all the women in the city were crazy about it, noble and indifferent temperament, so that people did not dare to approach, but this little star was like an undead little strong, like mosquitoes around him all day long.


    "I think you''re a smart person, and you have the guts to attack me, but I hope you understand that some people, even if they wear good clothes and eat expensive food, can''t change what''s in their bones, so I hope you can put yourself in the right position and not always try to cross the line to get other people''s attention. This is not personality, but death. I hope you understand."


    Gu mohan wanted her to understand where she was, but he didn''t mean anything else. The speaker didn''t mean it, but the listener did. That might be what he meant.


    Ailey was obviously a little frustrated, but she didn''t seem to be very upset. Instead, she looked very proud. Do you think you can just say that?


    "I know that you are all rich and noble from the bottom of your bones, but can you look down on people like that? I''m not as well born as you are. Is this kind of person going to die?" Ailey was obviously a little extreme, and her words were all unreasonable.


    "Oh, what do you mean? I''ve already conveyed it to you. What exactly do you think has nothing to do with me. Whether you say that I despise you or that I''m advising you, I don''t care. If you think you''re cheap, then you''re cheap." Gu mohan really didn''t want to talk to a woman with a subversive outlook.


    Gu mohan admitted that he had never said so much at once. After so many years in the business world, he never expected to be played by her.


    "You will regret it." A trace of hatred flashed in ailer''s eyes and then she hid it. Gu mohan did not notice it and thought that this woman was making trouble again.


    "I don''t regret what I''ve done, so I hope you understand where you are right now. Don''t force me!" Gu mohan had never been threatened before. He had never expected to be tricked by a small star on the 18th line.


    Ailer did not say anything but looked at gu mohan. He was a god-like man with a high face and a good figure. What was important was that he was rich. Where could he find such a man?


    So, she had to seize this opportunity, wouldn''t she just be looked down upon? Instead of being looked down upon by those people, it would be better to be looked down upon by gu mohan.


    Gu mohan sat for nearly two minutes, stood up and left. He went to the cashier to pay the money and drove away.


    The cashier recognized gu mohan because he had been appearing on various websites and newspapers recently, but his cool personality made her afraid to approach him, so she had to watch him from afar.


    He was so handsome and so elegant. He couldn''t do that kind of thing. Yes, he couldn''t do that kind of thing much.


    He was born from the heart and was so handsome that he could not be a malicious person.


    Although ailey could guess the reason for asking her out from the beginning, she was still angry to be said so in person.


    He took out his phone and recorded it for ten minutes. He turned on the recording and listened to what he had just said.


    "You should set your position right..."


    "Hehe, I''m putting myself in the right position. I think it''s time for you to reflect on yourself, or else..." Ailey said and left.


    Back in the car, she made a phone call to her reporter friend, saying that she had a piece of news to sell to her, not knowing if the price would be satisfactory.


    As a result, the price was much earlier than her acting in a movie. You know, gu mohan''s influence was no worse than a first-line star, so this news was very valuable.


    After hanging up the phone, ailey looked outside. Heh, it takes a movie to earn more money. It only takes a few words to make so much money. It''s really my cash cow.


    The reporter uploaded it immediately after receiving it, not playing the mosaic, not changing the sound, it was the original sound, it sounded very exciting.


    The comments below were all blown up.


    I didn''t expect my god to be such a person."


    Upstairs, don''t talk nonsense. What did my god say? Isn''t he telling the truth? I didn''t know who that little star was until gu mohan was gone. Don''t do this all day."


    I am temporarily neutral in this matter. This one has melons to eat."


    Everyone expressed their opinions, and for a moment, this topic became a hot topic.

 Chapter 513 What a Bother!

    In the gu enterprise building, gu mohan stood in front of the french window in a stiff suit. Holding a cigarette between his slender fingers, he raised his hand slowly. The cigarette landed on his sexy lips. Gu mohan took a deep breath. The smell of the cigarette rolled around his lungs and was slowly exhaled by him. The cigarette butt flashed, and gu mohan looked out the window at the endless traffic, thinking about his own thoughts.


    What kind of creature is a woman? Why is there such a thing as ye zhiqiao, and there is such a thing as ailer? What''s wrong with this world? What''s wrong with me?


    Suddenly, gu mohan''s cell phone rang, interrupting his train of thought. Gu mohan took out his cell phone and glanced at it. The word "Qin Baiye" appeared on the monitor.


    Looking at the phone ringing for a while, gu mohan finally got through to the phone. "Hello?"


    "Oh, boss gu is so busy. Finally, sometimes you call me indirectly? Are you busy with a meeting or a busy date?" Qin Baiye was gu mohan''s childhood friend, and the two families were close friends. The two of them had been playing together since their buttocks were bare, but gu mohan took such a long time to answer the phone, which made Qin Baiye a little angry and stabbed him directly.


    Gu mohan naturally knew what Qin Baiye was thinking. "Can you talk properly? No, I''ll hang up."


    "Gu mohan, how many times have you been in the newspaper? Are you looking for that little star to hang up on me in such a hurry? How come your taste has dropped so much without the young master by your side? Tsk tsk..."


    "Are you done?" Gu mohan really wanted to hang up when he saw his best friend just mocking him.


    "Oh, well, I won''t tease you anymore. I''m working on a project overseas, so why don''t you come and see it?" Qin Baiye invited gu Mohan.


    Gu mohan knew that Qin Baiye was looking for a reason to go out for a break and to explore the country, but...


    After listening to Mohan''s silence for a long time, Qin Baiye continued, "Oh, don''t think too much. You won''t change your job after the company leaves. Are you hiring so many employees for a dry meal? As for that small star of the 18th line, you don''t have to worry about it. Now that the domestic entertainment circle is like this, if you are not in the country, she will naturally go down without exposure. So, you see, Mr. Gu, the best way to solve the problem now is to come to france to inspect the project."


    Listening to Qin Baiye''s relaxed tone, gu mohan also felt relaxed. "Okay, then I''ll go and see if your project is worth investing in?"


    "Ouch, hey, you''re still up to it, aren''t you?" Qin Baiye''s mouth was still out of tune, but he also knew that gu mohan was in a much better mood now. Then, Qin Baiye and gu mohan talked for a long time, and finally hung up the phone in gu mohan''s impatience.


    Gu mohan hung up the phone, but the stone in his heart fell, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He called his assistant and arranged the company''s affairs.


    "Remember to book me a ticket as soon as possible." No, gu mohan ordered.


    "Mr. Gu, don''t worry." The assistant agreed, then he picked up the documents on the table and left the office.


    Gu mohan was a serious man. Since he was going to leave for a while, he had to take care of everything. This kind of workload is naturally not small. Fortunately, gu mohan''s assistant was a capable person, and there were also a few loose ends to arranging gu Mohan''s tasks.


    But the assistant had a lot of documents to deal with, which made him a little busy. He happened to see a company employee, xiao xu, and the assistant quickly called her, "Xiao xu, tomorrow president gu is going to france to investigate the project. You book a ticket for him and send me a screenshot of his phone." The assistant said as she walked to the office, where there were still unfinished documents.


    "Hey, okay." The little xu who was called answered in a low voice.


    The assistant wasn''t interested in this girl either. She''s new to the company. But no one expected that it was this newcomer who made gu mohan suffer a big loss.


    Xu booked the ticket and sent the screenshot to the assistant. When the assistant received it, he politely smiled back.


    Xiao xu stared at the smiling face for a while, then finally sent the screenshot to another number. After a while, the number was transferred to her for three thousand yuan.


    "I''m sorry. I may need more money than this." Little xu thought to himself.


    At this moment, ailer looked at the picture sent from her phone and couldn''t help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, gu mohan, do you want to hide from me? I won''t let you get what you want. You''re such a good cash cow. How can I let you go so easily?"


    Ailer clicked on the picture, noted down the time of gu mohan''s flight and other information, repeatedly confirmed that there was no missing, set the alarm clock, and went to sleep.


    The next morning, ailey woke up on her own. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was more than an hour before the alarm clock was set.


    Ailey looked at herself in the mirror. She was much more haggard than usual. Her eyes rolled and she was calculating.


    She put on a light makeup, and the blue shadows in her eyes were deliberately not covered up. Now, ailey looked like a victim who had been abandoned. She looked beautiful, especially when the blue shadows in her eyes were complaining about this, they could not help but make people feel sad.


    Ailey took a taxi to the airport, and the taxi driver saw the shadow in her eyes and comforted her, "Girl, you''re going to leave. It''s okay. You can call later. It''s not just a sentence. Oh, which one? A bosom friend in the sea is like a neighbor in the world."


    "The master is wrong. It should be a relationship. If it lasts for a long time, will it be morning and evening?" Ailey was in a good mood and took the taxi driver''s lead.


    "Ah, yes! Aren''t you able to read it? Look at you. Your boyfriend will be so distressed to see you later."


    Ailey smiled but did not say a word. When she arrived at the airport, she paid the fare and began to wait seriously.


    Ailer didn''t wait long before she saw gu mohan in a stiff suit, sunglasses, a suitcase and long, slender legs coming to the gate.


    Ailer had to admit that gu mohan was really a dragon among men. He was good-looking, had a good temperament, and had outstanding abilities. He was worth more than a hundred million yuan. Look, what a good candidate for a scandal. It''s not cheap to have a scandal with him.


    Ailer took out her cell phone and dialed a number, "I saw gu mohan. Are you ready?"


    "Don''t worry, I''ve been here for a long time and I''m squatting. It''s up to you." A somewhat obscene voice came from the phone.


    Ailer hung up the phone and squeezed to gu mohan''s side. After following him for a while, she caught up with him.


    "Master gu, what a coincidence!" Ailer took the initiative to greet gu Mohan.


    Gu mohan saw that there were too many people at the airport to deal with this woman who was dying. He deliberately ignored ailer and planned to leave directly.


    But ailer fell straight on him, and gu mohan pushed her away in fear of this woman causing trouble. However, there were already more than a dozen photos taken in the distance.


    Ailer looked at gu mohan and left immediately.


    "Hey, how''s it going?"


    "Haha, there are really a few that can be used! This time, you have your benefits."

 Chapter 514 Mantis Catching Cicada and Sparrow Behind

    "Thank you, miss ai."


    Hanging up the phone, lin zhengfei''s lips curved in disdain.


    She secretly thought that this ailer was very scheming. Gu mohan''s gu family was one of the largest enterprises in the country. Gu mohan would definitely hate ailer for pestering gu Mohan like this. With gu Mohan''s strength, gu mohan would naturally be able to kill ailer.


    "Stop!"


    Lin zhengfei had just turned around to go back and enjoy the money. He didn''t want to hurt his shoulder, but was stopped by a man in a suit.


    "What are you doing? Do you know that it is illegal to obstruct a citizen''s personal freedom?!"


    Lin zhengfei felt guilty.


    But his mind was spinning fast, and he knew that the more time it was, the less he could show off.


    "Heh, what am I doing? Tsk tsk, it also hinders personal freedom, so what are you taking pictures of?? Violating gu mohan''s privacy?"


    The man in the suit sneered.


    "Gu mohan?"


    Lin zhengfei realized something was wrong. At first, he thought that this man would be gu mohan''s bodyguard and that he had been discovered. But now, it seems that this man did not treat gu Mohan''s jingyi at all.


    Although this is not the era of clear superiority and inferiority, with gu Mohan''s status, the bodyguards around him will definitely be respectful to gu mohan, how can they call gu Mohan''s full name.


    "What? I''m still pretending to be a fool. I''m not going to do that..."


    The man in a suit sneered.


    "What''s your relationship with gu mohan? I''m telling you, I''m just a small fry in this matter. You can''t deal with me."


    It was the first time that lin zhengfei, a reporter, had faced this situation. In the past, he secretly took pictures of some things, although he was afraid of being discovered, but at least there was a saying that it was for work. But now, he only took pictures for personal gain and money to help ailer frame gu mohan. To some extent, it was against his original intention and professional ethics as a reporter.


    "My relationship with gu mohan? I have nothing to do with gu mohan. I just want what you have!"


    Said the man in a suit, with a clear playfulness on his face.


    "What''s in my hand? Oh, do you know how much the things in my hands are worth?"


    Lin zhengfei seemed to be amused. Although ailer didn''t give much now, she couldn''t refuse him if she needed ailer in the future. And if ailer took advantage of this opportunity to make gu mohan on the list, he would have more to rely on. He always had a long-term vision, otherwise he wouldn''t agree to help ailer do this.


    Since he had decided to help ailer, he had seen many benefits, not only the present benefits, but also the "Good life" in the future.


    "Oh, I''m poor. I''m poor. I only have money left. As far as I know, that ailey is just a little star. Where can I get so much money for you?"


    The man disdained ailer very much. In his opinion, ailer was not much different from those women who were in high spirits, but the price was different. As long as the price was enough, ailer would be even more open-minded than those women who were in high spirits. He knew this kind of woman best.


    "Miss aille and I are partners and equal. If you want what I have, you have to buy it. You are my customer, and the customer is god. You and I are not equal, so... I''m afraid I can''t do this business."


    Knowing the true identity of the man in the suit in front of him, lin zhengfei was relieved. As long as he was not gu mohan''s man, he had nothing to be afraid of.


    "Can''t you do it? Ah, this business has to be done if it''s successful, if it can''t be done, it has to be done. Is it an equal relationship? Do you think that if you follow ailer, you will get good fruit?"


    The man was naturally aware of the little reporter''s intentions. Ailey was not worth much now, but if ailey was really with gu mohan in the future, that would be great.


    The only mistress of the gu group, tsk tsk, this identity, sounds envious. If by then, ailey will have another man and half a woman, then... Ailey is really going to turn a pheasant into a phoenix.


    "Oh? I would like to hear your opinion."


    Lin zhengfei was more curious about the man''s identity when he saw that he was so sure.


    "Do you know who I am?"


    The man raised his eyebrows as if he was very proud of his identity.


    "Of course I don''t know. Otherwise, I would have left a long time ago."


    Lin zhengfei was very speechless. If he knew the identity of the man in front of him, he would have made a judgment on the current situation and figured out a way out. How could he still be in a passive situation?


    "You know, my surname is also gu..."


    The man deliberately lengthened his voice to make it clear to the reporters in front of him.


    "Your surname is gu, too? Oh, I don''t believe it. Even if your surname is gu, why? Do you think you have the right to inherit the gu group?"


    Lin zhengfei ignored it and asked the man in front of him.

 Chapter 515 Gu Yueqiao Looked Back at the Mansion

    The little reporter in front of him seemed to have been scared out of his wits, half open his mouth and blinking, unable to hold back a single word.


    Gu yueqiao was too lazy to meet such a person, so he reached out and said, "Can you give it to me this time? Now that you know who I am, you should know what it''s like to offend me, huh?" He hooked his fingers.


    Offending gu yueqiao would end up like offending gu mohan, or worse!


    Lin zhengfei hesitated. His palms, which were holding the camera, began to sweat. He cursed in his heart that he didn''t have eyes.


    At first glance, gu yueqiao was a well-mannered young man. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, including a square scarf in his pocket and a watch on his wrist. There was no bargain. He had just recognized him as gu mohan''s bodyguard, so he deserved to be punished!


    As long as he had been clever enough to recognize that he was not a troublesome master, he would not have had to waste his breath to push him aside and run away. Well, now that he has made his name known, he will go against the top management of the gu family in a blatant manner. Will there be any good fruit to eat?


    At this moment, he was in a dilemma. He was neither a person nor a person!


    Gu yueqiao''s hand was still in the air, but the little reporter did not respond at all. He lowered his head and mumbled something.


    Glancing at his watch, he had been delayed for a few minutes, which was not the efficiency of his work, so he raised his thick eyebrows and reminded him in a low voice, "Have you considered it? Do you want me to force it?"


    "Ah?! I... My..."


    Lin zheng was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry. He gritted his teeth and stuck his neck, "No... No! I promised to help others with their work, and then I regretted it after collecting the commission, so how can I stay in the circle in the future?!"


    Although he was just a small reporter with no reputation, and most of the people who asked him to do things looked at him as a paparazzi, there were rules in all walks of life, and every photo that entered his camera, except for the main family, could not be revealed to anyone.


    Gu yueqiao sneered and shook his head helplessly.


    He''s seen a lot of people like this. What kind of professional ethics is this? No one with any morals would do such a thing as secretly taking pictures. Zuo was just doing it for money.


    He took out his wallet from his pocket, rummaged through it and pulled out a bank card. Gu yueqiao stared at the reporter opposite him and tilted his head slightly, "This is forty thousand yuan. I don''t know how much that woman gave you just now. She probably has more than her, right?"


    Forty thousand?!


    Lin zhengfei swallowed subconsciously.


    More than that? There are simply too many! He had done a lot of things for ailer, but that was all the money.


    Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. You are indeed a member of the gu family. You are generous.


    Seeing that lin zhengfei was already tempted, gu yueqiao chuckled, threw the card on him and continued, "Take it. Choose a partner in the future and be smart. Don''t just look for those who are not on the table."


    Lin zhengfei''s eyes rolled. He understood that after taking this card, he would be gu yueqiao''s man.


    But who wouldn''t be tempted if the sky was full of red tickets hitting their heads?


    The hesitation was fleeting. Lin zhengfei stuffed his bank card into his pocket and handed the camera over with both hands. With a flattering smile on his face, he said, "From now on... I''ll ask Mr. Gu to be promoted more."


    "Yeah."


    Gu yueqiao agreed with a straight face. He took the camera and walked away without even looking at lin zhengfei, who looked like a pug.


    The tall and stiff figure gradually walked away, and the back light looked like a noble god. Lin zhengfei felt a little nervous about betraying ailer, but more excited.


    After climbing this big buddha, do you still have no way out?!


    Out of the airport, gu yueqiao drove the car that had already been prepared to the direction of the gu family mansion.


    He had not returned to china for a long time. There were so many beautiful and wonderful scenery in the world. It was so boring to be stuck in the country like walking around in the back garden of his own home.


    After all, people are sensitive animals, so it is inevitable that they have the thought of water shield, so after a tour of the south african border, he chose to go home to see.


    Of course, in addition to homesickness, there is another reason, which is the gu family.


    I heard that a lot has happened to the gu family and the gu family recently. He is not a gossipy person and does not like to meddle in other people''s affairs. However, he does not want to be destroyed by others because of his father''s hard work.


    I didn''t expect that he had just landed today, and before he left the airport, he had hit a good scene.


    Gu mohan was really not vigilant. He was almost tricked by a small star. Could this ability really lead the gu family?


    At the gu family mansion, father gu was leaning on a rocking chair sipping tea when he suddenly heard the housekeeper''s surprised voice from the door.


    "Ah! Isn''t this third master?! Why... Why are you back?"


    The butler had been serving the gu family for many years. Although gu yueqiao had rarely appeared in the country, he recognized him at once.


    They were all acquaintances, and gu yueqiao was not polite. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What''s wrong? Am I not welcome?"


    Gu yueqiao was the son that old master gu loved the most in those days. He was talented, charming and charming. Who would not welcome him?


    "What did you say? Come in, come in, master will be very happy to see it!"


    The butler dismissed the servants who had no idea what was going on and personally took out a brand new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and bent over to put them at gu yueqiao''s feet.


    As soon as he changed his shoes, the father, who heard the sound, hurried out. Seeing that the man was indeed his third brother, whom he had not seen for a long time, he took two steps at once and rushed forward to give him a hug.


    As soon as gu yueqiao got up, she was hugged and almost lost her footing. She shook her body a few times before steadying herself, "Hey, big brother, when did you like the greetings abroad? You''re not afraid to strangle your brother."


    "Brat, what a load of nonsense!"


    Father gu released his arm and punched him in the chest. Then he patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Good boy, you''ve grown taller. You''re much more energetic than you were a few years ago."


    "Wasn''t I in the mood before?"


    Gu yueqiao curled her lips helplessly and walked around gu father to the living room, mumbling, "Besides, have you ever seen anyone in their thirties growing up?"


    Gu yueqiao was born late, and there was a big age difference between the two older brothers. He was considered the son of old master gu, which was one of the reasons why old master gu especially loved him.


    He had not been used to it since he was a child, and even the stern gu father had no choice but to point at him with his fingers and ask the servants to fetch the best tea leaves to make tea for him.


    The two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room one after another, but after their initial greetings, they seemed to have nothing to say.


    Instead, gu yueqiao brought up the topic first, looked upstairs and asked, "Where''s my sister-in-law?"

 Chapter 516 Father Gu Was Furious When He Saw the Photo

    "Oh, she''s out, getting a facial. Heh heh, old people actually like to do those useless things."


    Father gu took the tea from the servant and put it in front of gu yueqiao. He hesitated for a moment, but before he could open his mouth, gu yueqiao asked again.


    "Where''s my nephew?"


    Father gu was stunned. He turned to look at the clock and said, "You should be at work at this time. Don''t worry. We''ll have dinner together tonight."


    Gu yueqiao was not in a hurry because he knew that he would not be able to eat dinner tonight.


    Just now at the airport, gu mohan had already left by plane. It seems that gu father doesn''t know about this yet.


    He picked up the teacup and took a sip, rubbing his bony fingers against the outside of the cup.


    Was gu mohan''s departure an official or personal matter? If it''s personal, big brother won''t be unaware. That''s business. But it was also strange that the elder brother didn''t know about it. Had he already handed the gu family over to gu mohan and become the shopkeeper?


    Gu yueqiao was thinking about his big nephew while his father was thinking about his third brother.


    Gu yueqiao had a free and easy disposition and liked to travel around the world all the year round. But why did he suddenly come back?


    It would be easy to say that he was homesick, he was sure that everything was ready, and the whole of china would follow him, but if he was interested in the company, then...


    Oh, I don''t think so!


    Father gu forcefully gave himself a reassurance pill, his face still smiling kindly, "Yue qiao, what luggage did you bring back this time? Ask the maid to move in for you, and then you can stay here."


    Gu yueqiao did not have the habit of boarding, so he refused quickly, "No, I can just find a hotel to stay at... I came here to show you something."


    As he spoke, he took out the camera he bought from lin zhengfei from his backpack and raised it in front of his father.


    "This is..." Father gu was puzzled.


    Gu yueqiao raised his chin and motioned for him to look for himself.


    Lin zhengfei''s camera was not a high-end product, and the various configurations were all old fashioned. It took him a while to figure it out, and he pressed the button the size of a green bean to pour the photo up.


    The first two photos were burnt, and only when he moved forward did he get a clear view. He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. His chin almost fell off!


    "What is this?! Mohan and... This..."


    Father gu was so angry that he could hardly breathe. His chest heaved violently. He held his heart in a calm position for a long time before he threw the camera on the ground and said angrily, "This ungrateful thing! Get gu mohan back for me, now!!"


    The wedding was not over yet, and the gu family was still in a stalemate. The outside world was even more saddened by the rumors about the gu family''s powerful people. He had come here again even though so many things had not been solved!


    What is that woman? How dare you even talk to her in public? Have you forgotten what you''ve suffered before?!


    The butler didn''t see the camera, but he knew it wasn''t a small matter as soon as he looked at his father. He quickly ran aside and called gu mohan.


    Shut down?!


    Not wanting to make a few calls, the phone was turned off on the other end. Seeing that father gu''s face was getting uglier and uglier, the housekeeper had an idea and called gu mohan''s assistant.


    As soon as gu mohan left, the mess in the company was left behind. The assistant was busy checking the accounts. He picked up the phone and answered without thinking, "President gu went to france. The flight half an hour ago is on the plane now."


    "Ah?!"


    The housekeeper was shocked. He quickly turned his head and glanced at his father. Holding the microphone, he whispered, "This is not possible. The master is angry. He is going to ask the young master to come back to talk to him..."


    "President gu probably won''t be back soon."


    The assistant interrupted him, glanced at his watch and suggested, "In ten hours, he will turn on his phone when he lands. You can contact him then. I''m still busy here. I''m sorry."


    The assistant helped gu mohan with the company''s affairs, and the butler only served at the gu family. The two of them had never met, so the assistant did not give him face on purpose.


    The housekeeper who had been hung up was in despair. When he turned around, his whole body stiffened. Facing the stern look in his father''s eyes, he replied without any confidence, "Master, master''s assistant said that master... He went abroad."


    "Going abroad?!"


    Father gu "Teng" stood up from the sofa, his movements were too fierce to help him dizzy. Fortunately, he held the coffee table in front of him, and gu yueqiao ran over to help him in time so as not to fall.


    There were a lot of things going on in the company, and his competitors were gradually pressuring him. What was he doing abroad during this time of internal and external trouble?!!


    Father gu was gasping for air, but he couldn''t say anything about the company''s difficulties in front of gu yueqiao. He could only hold his breath in his heart and sternly ordered, "Check! Contact my secretary and find out where he went and what he did!"


    The housekeeper lowered his head and promised, then ran to make a phone call.


    Gu yueqiao helped gu father sit down and comforted him, "Brother, calm down. It may be a temporary decision. Mohan didn''t have time to inform you. Don''t worry."


    After several phone calls with his family, he heard that father gu''s health was not very good, and it was normal to say that. He had worked hard all his life and was old. Coupled with his violent temper, he would definitely be in pain. So, should I tell brother that he had been thinking about it for a long time on the road? In the end, he said it for the sake of the gu family.


    If big brother really got sick because of this, he would be very sorry.


    "I''m fine."


    Father gu waved his hand and sighed, "I made you laugh. Hehe... I haven''t eaten since I came back. In this case, I''ll have someone make you something to eat. Just in time, I''ll take care of the company. Let''s have dinner together tonight."


    It means that he can''t accompany the guests for the time being. Please help yourself.


    Gu yueqiao''s mind was bright. He guessed that his eldest brother didn''t want him to listen to the company. Although he was a little disappointed, he stood up wisely and said, "Don''t bother. I''ve already booked a hotel. Just go there and eat."


    Father gu was very upset and did not say politely, "That''s good. I''ll contact you before dinner."


    Gu yueqiao nodded, took her backpack and walked out of the house.


    Standing with his back against the window, he watched gu yueqiao''s car drive away, but his heart did not relax at all. Instead, it became heavier.


    His third brother was smarter than others from a young age, and his business acumen far exceeded his and his second brother''s. If it weren''t for his natural lack of restraint, then the gu family''s business would still be in the hands of someone else.


    He cherished this youngest brother, but in the face of interests, I''m afraid there are no brothers!

 Chapter 517 Father Gu Vomited Blood and Was Hospitalized

    "Master?"


    Father gu was thinking back to the time when he and his brothers shared the family property after his father passed away. The people behind him called several times before he came back to his senses.


    The secretary was standing behind him respectfully, as if he had already found out where gu mohan was.


    Thinking of his son, he had a terrible headache, and the anger that had just calmed down surged up again, burning his chest.


    He sat down and took a sip of tea. The warm tea soup flowed down his throat into his body, barely suppressing the anger. Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."


    The secretary did not sit down and leaned over him, reporting in a formulaic tone, "Young master''s destination for this trip is france, landing around 4 am Beijing time. It is understood that there is no french project in the group recently, so I guess the young master is probably dealing with personal matters."


    Gu mohan was invited by Qin Baiye to france to investigate the qin family project, and the secretary couldn''t find out the result in gu family.


    Father gu did not know the twists and turns and frowned when he heard this.


    It would be fine if he didn''t have time to inform him about his work, but he secretly went to france to deal with his personal affairs. Would he take gu''s seriously? Do you take him seriously as a father?!!


    He threw the cup on the table with hatred and said, "Go on!"


    The secretary nodded and continued, "There''s one more thing I''m not sure about yet. When I was investigating the young master today... One of my assistants said that miss ye... Is also in france."


    Ye zhi happened to be in france, and gu mohan went to france again. Who knew if there was any connection between the two of them? The secretary could not tell the truth about this, or else she might offend gu mohan. He would understand if he just gave a word to gu father.


    Sure enough, father gu''s face darkened instantly. This time, he did not smash or swear, but his gloomy eyes seemed to be angrier than before.


    Ye zhi happens to be in france. He doesn''t care what she does in france, but there must be a problem with gu mohan going!


    After the wedding, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao broke off contact with each other. At first, gu mohan was worried every day, but then he became much calmer.


    Although with the support of the Wang family, ye zhiqiao''s family background was compatible with the gu family, because of the unexpected situation at the wedding, old master wang threw his face in public to embarrass him. Later, even he personally came to apologize and was rejected, which obviously did not want to be a family.


    It would be nice to have a marriage with the Wang family, but the gu family is not so desperate as to beg for mercy. Old master wang doesn''t want to continue this marriage, he doesn''t want to!


    Besides, could it be that only the Wang family and ye zhiqiao suffered from such an accident at the wedding? The gu family was also greatly affected!


    First, he called away li yuanzhong, gu mohan''s client. That was notoriously difficult. If gu mohan hadn''t left the wedding site immediately, perhaps the gu family would have sold their business to fill the hole! If you look at the attitude of the Wang family, can you still point to them for help?


    Later, gu mohan had a scandal with a small star. His own son knew that gu mohan was not the kind of person who had no sense of propriety, but as his girlfriend, ye zhiqiao not only did not help suppress the scandal, but also caused a breakup because of such a small matter!


    It was a good breakup. To be honest, he still thought that this little girl had a good temperament, but now it seems that his wife knows her more accurately. Ye zhiqiao is a lost star. Since gu Mohan and her were together, how many things have happened inside and outside, just keep the marriage going. She shouldn''t have entered the gu family at all!


    But now? Ye zhiqiao, the unlucky woman, was finally far away from the gu family. Gu mohan chased after her shamelessly. He was going to kill him. He was going to kill the gu family!!!


    "Hoo - hoo -"


    The more he thought about it, the more he hated it. He felt a rush of air rushing around his body, making his mouth dry and his throat tinged with a faint fishy sweetness.


    He could not see his face, and the butler and secretary beside him were terrified.


    His face was flushed, the veins on his forehead were jumping, and he looked as if he would be out of breath at any moment with his neck stuck up and his chest covered.


    "Master! Are you all right, sir?!"


    The figure of the housekeeper and secretary rushing over gradually became blurred and twisted in father gu''s cloudy eyes. Something was going up in his throat. He hunched up and was about to open his mouth. "Poof -" a bright red spurt came out of his mouth!


    Blood dripped on the carpet, slowly seeping deep into the screams of the housekeeper and secretary.


    A series of blows finally brought down father gu, who was sent to the hospital on a stretcher amid the alarm.


    At this moment, gu mohan was sitting on the plane, looking out at the misty clouds, his eyes dim and he did not know what he was thinking.


    His destination, france, was ushering in a new day.


    Ye zhiqiao went to work as usual. Facing a table of things to deal with, she raised her eyebrows and secretly encouraged herself.


    At this time, luo shasha, who had been feeling miserable for three days without picking on her, glanced down at her desk with her beautiful eyes, threw a document on the pile of "Hills," and said scornfully, "I can''t stand people like you. Everyone does the same job. Why is it so disgusting on your desk? Do you think that if you put more things around, your boss will think that you work harder than others when he comes over?"


    Picking bones from an egg has always been luo shasha''s forte. Even if she was kind enough to give her a piece of sugar, she could say that you wanted to cause her to get diabetes. The temperature or sweetness of the coffee you bought for her would never suit her.


    "Let''s talk about something." Ye zhiqiao said coldly.


    Luo shasha looked down on ye zhiqiao, but after ye zhiqiao opened her mouth last time, she didn''t dare to provoke her too much. When she heard that, she rolled her eyes at the roof and said angrily, "President shen didn''t come to work. Send him home."


    Ye zhiqiao picked up the document and looked at a few pages. She looked up and asked, "Is it urgent?"


    "Nonsense, what am I looking for you for?!"


    Luo shasha seized the opportunity to stab her, warned her to move faster, and then twisted her waist back to her position.


    Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath helplessly, got up and found brother liu to find out the address of shen cang''s house, took her bag and went out.


    There was no other way. In the Shen shi, she was a newcomer. She was the only one who could do such strenuous and unappealing things.


    Thinking that there was still a lot of work waiting for her in the company, she had to stop a taxi so that she could send the things back quickly.


    Shen cang was lazily sitting on the sofa in the middle of the city center villa district, with a glass of whiskey in his left hand and a sip in his mouth.

 Chapter 518 Bumping into Shen Cangs Secret

    In his right hand, however, there was a chain as thick as a chain holding a large dog in the street. With a slight movement, a "Clatter" sounded.


    The other end of the chain was connected to qu ning''s thin and fair neck.


    She knelt on the ground and hunched her back, tears streaming down her face and blood flowing out of nowhere.


    She was wearing an ordinary white nightgown that was as long as her ankles. Now that the loose skirt was covered in sweat and blood, it made her look even thinner. With her long hair, it looked like a abused puppy.


    The only thing that was different from a dog was that she could still talk and beg.


    "Shen cang... Spare me... I know I was wrong... Spare me..."


    The same words had been repeated countless times, and shen cang seemed to be tired of hearing them, so he rarely responded to her.


    He raised a long leg and patted the woman on the cheek with his shoe. He saw the wet marks on the clean shoe and frowned. Then he turned slightly and raised the woman''s jaw with the tip of the shoe.


    Looking around at the miserable face, he tilted his head in confusion and asked, "What''s wrong with you?"


    Until now, qu ning still thought that the reason why shen cang was so angry was because she framed ye zhiqiao. She thought he liked ye zhiqiao, so she immediately replied, "I shouldn''t pretend to be ye zhiqiao. I shouldn''t harm her. I..."


    "Bang -"


    Before she could finish, shen''s crippled foot had already kicked her hard in the chest!


    With a muffled and painful cry, qu ning fell back on the ground. Her entire chest was numb from pain, as if it was not her own body, but her heart was beating wildly, and she was about to be kicked out of her throat by his kick.


    She had been taught this kind of lesson many times, and every time she thought she was going to die, she now believed that she was not going to die.


    If she died, where would shen cang find a toy as obedient as her? So even if it was for the rest of her life that she would not be bored, shen maiming would not let her die.


    Since you can''t die, then you can enjoy living crime all the time.


    Look how cheap she is! How could you call this kind of thing enjoyment?


    "Do you want to get up after pretending to be dead, or do you not have enough of the whip?"


    Shen cang''s tepid voice came from above her head. She held her breath and quickly got up on both hands and feet, but she could not stand because shen cang wanted her to play the role of a dog today.


    And she could not disobey shen maiming, otherwise he would use all kinds of methods to punish her... Although, even if she was obedient, he would still punish her.


    After playing with this trick, shen canxu stood up and dusted his pants. He took out a box of needles from a pile of sundries on the table.


    He played with the small box of needles in his hand and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "I saw a police film a while ago. The criminal wanted to ask something from the police, but the stupid police officer refused to say it, so the criminal found a needle, pointed it at the police finger, and slowly inserted it into the gap between his fingers and his nails..."


    As he spoke, he took out a needle from the box.


    It was thin and there was a chill in the sunlight outside the window.


    "No!!"


    Qu ning exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the needle, and she struggled back.


    Shen cang laughed. With all his strength, she could no longer move a single inch.


    He bent down and leaned in front of her, shaking the needle in his hand between their eyes, puzzled and said, "Are you afraid? It shouldn''t be. Aren''t you very brave? Guess what I want and work with my opponent behind my back. Aren''t you too bold to betray me? Now it''s just a needle. Is it worth it?"


    "I... I''m not... No... I..." Qu ning wanted to defend herself, but when she looked into shen cang''s venomous eyes, it was as if someone had pinched her throat and could only whine.


    "I can tolerate your jealousy and ignorance, your naivety and boredom, and your perversion like me, but there''s only one thing you can''t betray me, you know?" His mouth was wide open, the tip of his tongue licking his thin lips, and his eyes were fierce and sinister, as if he were looking at his prey.


    Qu ning shrank to the ground and shivered. Tears and snot flowed down together. She shook her head and said, "No... I didn''t... I didn''t mean to betray you... I was jealous..."


    "No! You betrayed me!"


    Shen cang roared, his composure completely gone, as if he had peeled off a layer of skin and revealed his true colors.


    "You know, I used to be a gangster. But unfortunately, I''ve never seen a finger prick. If you love me and don''t want to betray me, then show me your heart and prove it!"


    "Ah no! No! No!!!"


    Qu ning struggled frantically, but her strength was so great that one hand was still tightly held by shen cang. Her face was wrinkled, but her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was full of cries of despair.


    The tip of the needle shimmered white and slowly moved closer to the gap between the fingernails. The crippled expression was particularly focused, as if the sculptor was making his favorite work...


    "Ding-dong - ding-dong -"


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang and shen cang trembled, almost stabbing the tip of the needle into the back of his hand!


    "Damn it!" He cursed fiercely, threw qu ning away and walked to the door in a rage.


    Qu ning, who had been thrown down, fell to the ground, shrank and twitched a few times before finally taking a small breath, and her heart began to beat again.


    Shen cang thought that it must be some short-sighted bodyguard who came to ruin his good mood at this time. He opened the door angrily and was about to scold, but his mouth froze.


    ... Not a bodyguard, but ye zhiqiao!!


    "You... How did you..." He stammered with a look of confusion and suspicion, "Why are you here?"


    He was afraid that ye zhiqiao would find out his secret, but he also doubted the soundproofing effect of the door, because the door was very close to the living room.


    Usually, he did this in the bedroom upstairs. Today, he got angry and thought that no one would come at this time, so he took it easy.


    Ye zhiqiao''s expression was still natural, as if she didn''t notice anything. She even smiled politely and said, "President shen, I''ll send you the documents."


    Hearing this, shen cang finally felt more at ease and raised a stiff smile. He pretended to have a sudden realization and said, "Oh! Well, then you... Give it to me."


    He reached out his left hand to ye zhiqiao, but his other hand tightly grasped the door, the intention of covering up was obvious.

 Chapter 519 Shen Cang Dispelled His Doubts

    Ye zhiqiao had been in contact with psychology before and immediately realized something was wrong.


    In fact, she heard the sound of the villa before she knocked on the door, but at that time, she just thought that shen cang was watching videos and so on. After all, there are many people with special hobbies in real life, and shen cang also has congenital diseases, some aspects of preferences may be a little special.


    But now, it seems that shen cang''s behavior is a little abnormal.


    Because if it was a video, the first action when opening the door to a guest would be to shut it immediately, so as not to embarrass anyone. But now, although there was no sound inside, the heavy and paralyzed nervousness was too obvious to be doubted.


    Could it be... That the person in the house was not a videotape, but a person?!!


    Thinking of this, ye zhiqiao''s hair stood up, but no matter what kind of situation, she couldn''t show panic, so she pretended to be in a difficult position, covered her stomach and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, president shen, I... Can I borrow the bathroom?"


    Shen cang was shocked, and his eyes drifted, "The bathroom... Oh, my bathroom is broken. How about this? I''ll treat you to a meal nearby. By the way..."


    In such a large villa, the bathroom was roughly estimated to be four or five. Did it break down together?


    Ye zhiqiao naturally didn''t believe it. Although shen cang looked warm and polite, she didn''t know who she was. If there was a woman inside, she must have seen it with her own eyes.


    "President shen, are you lying to me? Why is the bathroom broken? Let me use it!"


    She pushed him back a few steps and ran into the villa in a gust of wind.


    Hardly taking the time to search, she turned her head and saw a woman huddled on the ground in a mess.


    Wait... Who was that?


    She covered her pounding heart and walked towards the woman. When she looked closer, she couldn''t help but raise her hand and cover her mouth!


    It was qu ning. The person lying on the ground was qu ning!


    Qu ning''s clothes were covered in tattered scratches, and the edges were still covered with blood. The white and red intertwined, piercing the heart.


    His eyes swept aside, and there was a mess of things on the table that did not fit into the gorgeous european villa.


    Whips, handcuffs, hemp ropes, blades, candles... There must be dozens of them!


    "This is... What?"


    She panicked and asked subconsciously.


    Being seen, shen cang did not need to hide. He walked over boldly and was about to explain, but he saw ye zhiqiao shaking her hands and taking out her cell phone from her bag.


    "What do you want?!" He rushed up to grab ye zhiqiao''s wrist and shouted in a deep voice.


    Ye zhiqiao turned her head to stare at him, her eyes were as sharp as she had never seen before. Although she was afraid in her heart, the more this time, the more she could not retreat.


    "You''re abusing your girlfriend! I want to call the police!"


    Everyone in the company knew the relationship between shen cang and qu ning, but ye zhiqiao had never sought confirmation from shen cang because of her identity, and she was not a gossipy person. How shen cang and qu ning had nothing to do with her, she just needed to work calmly.


    But now the situation is very obvious, shen cang is beating qu ning, not only beating, but also cruel abuse!


    In any way, she must protect qu ning!


    Shen cang was a gangster, and it was precisely because of his high status that he was not so afraid of the police, so even if ye zhiqiao really called the police, it would not cause him any trouble.


    But if his abuse of his girlfriend was deeply buried in ye zhiqiao''s heart, then his plan would fail before it even started.


    Therefore, he had to give a perfect explanation for what happened today, not only to stop ye zhiqiao from calling the police, but also to make her believe that he was still a good person.


    "I''m not abusing her, I''m avenging you!"


    His mind was spinning fast, and in a few seconds of confrontation, shen can think of a good explanation.


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him incredulously, as if she didn''t understand, "What did you say? Avenge me...?"


    "Yeah."


    Shen cang walked over to qu ning and looked at her with warning. Then he said in a hateful voice, "I don''t have many friends. You are the first one I want to have a real relationship with, but this woman framed you because of her silly jealousy and suspicion!"


    He returned to ye zhiqiao''s side and purposely blocked qu ning with his body. "Emotionally agitated," he continued, "I just looked at her pitiful, so I occasionally helped her at work. I didn''t care about being misunderstood by the company, but I didn''t expect her to misunderstand herself and think that I liked her! Do you think that''s true?!"


    Ye zhiqiao was dumbfounded and asked in a daze, "Isn''t it?"


    Idiot!


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao began to doubt her two words, shen cang cursed in his heart.


    However, his face was more sincere and his tone was urgent, "Of course not. You don''t believe me at all. Didn''t I tell you to ask me anything?! Between you and her, of course, I value you more. That''s why she set you up to make me so angry!"


    Shen cang''s words completely destroyed ye zhiqiao''s cognition.


    According to his opinion, he and qu ning were only close colleagues, and today''s events, qu ning was abused because of her?


    Isn''t that... Unbelievable?!


    After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she didn''t have to believe shen cang''s side of the story, so she bypassed shen cang and came to qu ning.


    Seeing her coming over, qu ning subconsciously shrank back.


    "It''s okay. Don''t be afraid. I''ll protect you." Ye zhi gently comforted her and lifted her up with her shoulder in her arms.


    Her hair was sticking to her face. She could not see qu ning''s expression clearly, so she looked straight into qu ning''s tear-filled eyes and asked as gently as possible, "Is what president shen said... True? You''re not in love with him. He... Hit you because... Of me?"


    Qu ning''s heart was desolate and she pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed coldly.


    Shen cang did hit her for ye zhiqiao, but what else could their relationship be if it wasn''t a lover?


    How could she sleep with him if she wasn''t a lover? What is she? Is it a prostitute?


    Perhaps a prostitute could still get pleasure in bed, but all she got was pain!!


    She smiled and the flowers trembled. Even though her face and body were in such a mess that people couldn''t bear to look at her, when she was shaking her head and trying to mock ye zhiqiao, she suddenly met her crippled eyes!


    Behind ye zhiqiao, shen cang stood there condescendingly, looking down at her coldly.


    What was written in those venomous eyes?

 Chapter 520 Invite to Cook

    Warnings, threats, and her greatest fear of his disgust and determination.


    She understood that if she told the truth today, then from now on, she and shen maiming would be impossible, but at the same time, she would lose her freedom forever and live in pain and fear forever.


    Unless he or she dies first.


    Her heart was gripped by a hand, and she straightened her back reflexively, which startled ye zhiqiao.


    "Speak." Ye zhiqiao reminded her.


    Qu ning suddenly began to giggle and nodded, "That''s right, what he said is true, it''s true... It''s me, it''s all my fault. I overestimate myself, I am a snake and a scorpion... It''s all my fault."


    Hearing her own admission, ye zhiqiao was still a little surprised.


    To be honest, she must be more familiar with shen cang than qu ning, so for the same thing, she would naturally be more inclined to believe in shen cang.


    If she hadn''t seen such a terrible scene, she wouldn''t have impulsively thought of shen cang as a sadist.


    Now that everything was clear, shen cang did this to avenge her. Although she felt that shen cang''s actions were extreme, she could not blame him anymore. She had to help qu ning sit on the sofa and plead with shen cang, "You did this for me... I am very grateful. I really thank you. But you see, qu ning has suffered a lot from such a serious injury. Just let her go."


    According to ye zhiqiao''s idea, qu ning should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, but after all, this is a desolate place... Alas, why was she not happy when she was helped, only apologetic and depressed?


    Shen cang''s anger had not yet come out, and his hands were still itching, especially when he saw qu ning''s frightened look, which aroused his desire.


    However, looking at ye zhiqiao''s appearance, if he did not let qu ning go, she would definitely not stop. If it was delayed for a long time, it might lead to her suspicions.


    Thinking about it, he could only take a step back for more excitement in the future.


    "That''s what''s wrong with you. You''re too kind." She complimented him half-truthfully, then called for the bodyguard.


    The bodyguard was surprised to see the scene in the living room as soon as he entered.


    Ye zhiqiao thought he was surprised by qu ning''s appearance at this time, but what was really surprising to him was how a blind woman appeared out of nowhere while shen was playing with women.


    "Cough..."


    Shen cang coughed and winked at the bodyguard, "Take Miss Qu to the hospital. I''ll pay for the medical expenses and the damage."


    The bodyguard received shen cang''s signal and nodded on the surface, but left with qu ning after leaving the house.


    Qu ning knew shen cang too well, so she naturally didn''t believe that he would kindly send her to the hospital.


    None of his men had any good qualities under shen cang''s tutelage.


    Qu ning gave the bodyguard a hard look with an eye knife and staggered onto the road. Behind her, the bodyguard followed her like a little tail.


    In the villa, it was awkward for ye zhiqiao and shen cang to stand opposite each other, especially after ye zhiqiao accidentally turned her head and saw the things on the table again.


    Shen cang noticed that she had a strange look on her face. He followed her gaze to the table and explained, "The bodyguard just brought these over. He said it was fun, but I don''t know how to use them. Do you know?"


    Ye zhiqiao looked up at him and saw that his eyes were bright and sincere, as warm and soft as the sun outside the window. No matter how he looked, it seemed impossible to associate with that kind of person.


    Maybe... He''s telling the truth.


    "I don''t know either." Ye zhiqiao smiled sheepishly and suddenly remembered something. Then she said, "By the way, secretary qu''s medical expenses should be paid by me. After all, it''s because of me and you..."


    Shen cang raised his hand and interrupted her, "No, I didn''t think much of this. I should be punished!"


    He didn''t want to discuss qu ning with ye zhiqiao anymore. He was afraid that he would reveal some flaws when he didn''t notice, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Hey, have you eaten yet? I haven''t eaten in the morning. It''s almost noon."


    Ye zhiqiao took a look at her watch. No, it was only ten o'' clock when she came out of the company. It was almost twelve o'' clock in such a delay.


    It was almost time for work at the company, and even if she had to rush back now, she would have to go straight to lunch.


    Thinking of all the care that shen cang had given her before, she suggested, "I''ll treat you to lunch. You decide the place!"


    Shen cang was taken aback. He didn''t expect her to agree so quickly, but he thought about it carefully.


    "How is it? Have you thought about it yet?" Ye zhiqiao wanted to ease the stiff atmosphere, so she raised her voice and asked.


    Shen cang curved his lips and smiled, "I have decided. The location is... My home."


    This time it was ye zhiqiao''s turn to be stunned.


    She turned around and looked around, wondering, "Isn''t this your home? You..."


    "I want you to cook for me. The first time I saw you, I thought you must be delicious."


    What''s the reason?


    Did she say "Michelin" on her face?


    Shen cang looked at her stupefied expression and felt like laughing for no reason. He tilted his head and said, "You promised yourself. I will fix the place. You can''t go back on your word so soon."


    With that, he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her towards the kitchen.


    "Although I don''t cook for myself, I''m still looking forward to having home-cooked food when I''m tired of eating outside. So even if you don''t cook well, it doesn''t matter. There''s no need to feel pressured."


    Listening to shen cang''s consolation, ye zhiqiao walked all the way to the kitchen.


    Well, what shen can say is true. The food here is really rich.


    The two-door vertical refrigerator, which was taller than her, was filled with fresh vegetables, various meat, fruits, and drinks... Even yogurt was arranged in different flavors.


    Not to mention the kitchen counter, clean and tidy, all kinds of spices, the restaurant''s back kitchen will not be more complete than here!


    Ye zhiqiao saw such a big battle for the first time. Pointing at these things, she asked shen can incredulously, "You don''t have to... Why did you buy so many? Won''t it be wasted?"


    Shen cang was indifferent. He picked out a large, red apple from the freezer, put it between his lips and took a bite. While chewing, he said, "It''s not a waste. I''m in a good mood. It''s their greatest value to make me happy."


    Ye zhi qiao shrank her neck and bared her teeth.


    Looking at the kitchen like this, there must be a housekeeper coming over every day to clean up, but also to throw away the things that are about to expire and change them into new ones, and those fruits are probably changed every day, to see shen rui eat apples without washing, it must be the housekeeper who washed them early.


    Is the life of the rich so "Informal" ?

 Chapter 521 Visiting Gu Yueqiao

    When ye zhiqiao lived with gu mohan in china, there were many places where she could not stand gu mohan''s waste. But now, compared to shen cang, gu mohan was a good citizen who was thrifty and hardworking. Sometimes when the rest of the meal was hot, he was willing to eat two bites.


    Ye zhiqiao unconsciously curved her mouth, but only for a short moment.


    What else do you want gu mohan to do? I''ve forgotten him, haven''t I? She had nothing to do with gu mohan... Anymore!


    Shen cang held the big apple in his mouth and stared at ye zhiqiao for a long time. He saw her frowning and thinking, shaking her head and smiling bitterly, and looking serious again. He could not help but say that this woman was a strange hatred.


    "Hey! What are you thinking?!"


    He took down the incomplete apple that he had bitten and shook it in front of ye zhiqiao''s eyes. He covered his stomach and complained, "For your sake, I am angry and anxious. Now that I am hungry, my chest is pressed against my back. Even if you are not good at cooking, you have to make something cooked for me to eat. Why are you just staring at these raw things?"


    Ye zhiqiao returned to her senses and pulled her broken hair behind her ear in embarrassment. She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I''ll do it now. Very soon. Then you..."


    She glanced around the kitchen once more and suggested, "I have almost memorized the location of the things here. You can wait outside and get the smell of smoke here."


    Shen cang actually wanted to use the time of cooking to get close to ye zhiqiao, such as holding a plate and handing a bowl to occasionally touch his fingertips, but compared to these beautiful things, the smell of choking and disgusting smoke was better.


    So he didn''t refuse. He patted her on the shoulder and nibbled on the apple. When he reached the door, he didn''t forget to turn around and say, "Be quick."


    Ye zhiqiao looked at him helplessly and amusedly. She gave a heavy "Yes" and then turned back to wash the vegetables.


    Her hands kept moving, and her head began to move, and her mind began to wander.


    In fact, she felt that shen cang was quite strange. She could not explain that feeling, but it had nothing to do with his illness. Although his sudden illness really scared her last time, she never looked at him with special eyes, not to mention no disdain, not even sympathy and pity. She felt that he was an ordinary person.


    But occasionally, at a rare time, she felt that he was not that ordinary.


    For example, from the first time she met him until now, he had always been cheerful and polite, looking like a university student, but of course, his work ability surpassed his appearance a lot, and his manner of dealing with people was definitely not practiced overnight.


    But at some point, when she inadvertently looked at him and he did not notice it, there seemed to be a gloomy light in those slender eyes, which were different from usual.


    It''s like... Two completely different souls live in one body!


    Ye zhiqiao''s body shook, and the spoon fell into the pot vertically. The hot soup splashed on her hand, causing a sharp pain.


    She took out a piece of paper and wiped the soup away. When she turned around, she saw shen cang holding a bag of chips and walking past the kitchen door, staring straight at her. She covered the back of her hand and laughed at herself for worrying too much.


    There must have been too many conspiracies in the country, and they were almost delusional. Shen cang might have been this kind of personality, but people in the market couldn''t help it, so they had to deliberately disguise themselves, even gu Mohan, isn''t it the same? At home, he was like a clingy puppy. Out of the door, he was a thousand-year-old iceberg. Anyone who glared at him would freeze.


    Why did he think of gu mohan again?


    Ye zhiqiao frowned, clenched her teeth and turned off the fire. She turned to the outside and shouted, "Dinner is ready!!!"


    At noon, ye zhiqiao and shen cang sat at the table to have lunch together. Gu mohan, who had flown to france for a night without sleep, was lying on the soft bed of a sunny hotel to catch up on his sleep. At this time, china was about to reach sunset.


    Gu yueqiao did not like social engagements, but his eldest brother opened his mouth personally. He was angry with his eldest brother because of gu mohan''s matter, so he had to keep his promise.


    But he waited in the hotel all afternoon, watching the sky burning red outside the window, and father gu''s phone still didn''t call.


    In the end, he was really impatient. He took the initiative to call, and then found out that father gu was in the hospital.


    On the way to the hospital, he kept thinking about the reason for his brother''s illness and whether it was because of gu mohan that he got sick. Knowing that his eldest brother was not in good health recently, he shouldn''t have said those things to annoy him. He might as well have thought of a way to remind gu mohan directly.


    Gu yueqiao walked to the door of the ward that the housekeeper had informed him on the phone with remorse. Just as she raised her hand, the door was pulled open from inside.


    Seeing the person inside, he curved his lips and said politely, "Hello, sister-in-law!"


    Although father gu and housekeeper had already told them about gu yueqiao''s return, the feeling she had seen with her own eyes was still different. Mother gu''s face was a little stiff. After a long time, she squeezed out a awkward smile and replied perfunctorily, "Yes, hello." Come and see your brother? He''s inside. You can go in... I have something to do at home, so I''ll leave first."


    For so many years, his sister-in-law''s attitude towards him had been the same. He was used to it. He simply said, "Sister-in-law, be careful on the road" and staggered into the ward.


    At first, father gu seemed to vomit blood, but it was not a big deal after the doctor''s examination. He was just anxious and worried for a while, so this kind of situation occurred. He just needed to calm down and recuperate in the hospital for a period of time, and do regular examinations.


    When gu yueqiao came in, his father was wiping his mouth with a tissue, as if he had just eaten.


    Seeing that gu yueqiao was here, father gu was surprised at first and then smiled apologetically, "Look at my memory. I agreed to have a banquet for you. In the end..."


    Gu yueqiao did not want to hear these words, so he went forward and naturally took the tissue from his hand and threw it into the trash can. Then he sat on the chair beside the bed and asked, "Why are you suddenly sick? Is it because of Mohan?"


    There was no doubt that father gu was furious because of gu mohan, but after all, it was a family matter, and the family scandal could not be exposed. Moreover, gu mohan was the head of the gu family, and he represented the face of the gu family, so gu father did not want to tell gu yueqiao the truth.


    If he hadn''t suddenly seen the photos in the camera in the morning, he wouldn''t have gotten angry in front of gu yueqiao if he hadn''t had time to control his emotions. Now he was regretting his carelessness.


    Father gu raised a glass of water to moisten his throat, still smiling kindly, "No, I know Mohan''s ability well, and he went abroad... I also asked his assistant. It''s just an ordinary business trip."

 Chapter 522 Father and Brother Gu Argued

    Father gu''s words were somewhat true, somewhat false, or simply false. Gu yueqiao was like a mirror in his heart. He hated the infighting among the family, but this was an unchangeable reality.


    Only the brothers and sisters of poor families could be huddled together. Once the rich get up, the house they live in is bigger, the things they use are more advanced, and the hearts of the people are naturally far apart.


    Gu yueqiao suddenly felt speechless and was about to let his father have a good rest and leave when his father opened his mouth again.


    "Yue qiao, are you coming back this time... Do you want to stay and do business in the future, or do you want to go back abroad later?"


    Gu yueqiao raised his head and looked at each other. His father looked a little embarrassed. He quickly added, "I mean, it''s good if you stay. Now Mohan has managed the company well. If you want to start a company, he can help you."


    Ask gu mohan to help him?


    Gu yueqiao gave a sneer, but his lips, which were originally bent, gradually narrowed into a straight line.


    Since father gu did not want to pretend anymore, he did not have to work hard to continue pretending. This scene of brotherly respect was really tiring!


    Did he leave or did he just hang on? He wanted to ask this question since we met this morning, didn''t he? It was not easy to endure it until now.


    Of course, he didn''t want him to stay. Who among the old gu family didn''t know who his father''s favorite son was and who didn''t know who his father''s intended successor was?


    But he had already given way again and again. Why didn''t they even want to stand where they were? Did they have to force him to the point where he couldn''t give up?!


    Which one of the "Brothers and sisters-in-law" he called out to really treat him as a brother? In their eyes, he was always an enemy!


    He could not defeat, so he could only pretend to be a good enemy!


    Perhaps he was really angry, or perhaps the anger that had been suppressed in his heart needed an outlet. Gu yueqiao raised his eyelids and asked provocatively, "Big brother, I want to stay... I still need to open my own company. Do you need my nephew''s help? Why don''t I just go straight to gu''s?"


    The other members of the gu family had their hands on the gu family. It had always been the last thing that gu father would see. It was his achilles'' heel.


    So he didn''t even look at gu yueqiao''s expression at all. He jumped up from the bed and said angrily, "What do you mean?!"


    Gu yueqiao did not expect such a big reaction from him, but the feelings in his heart were completely shattered by his father''s reaction.


    Look, he stupidly stepped back to avoid suspicion, but at the gu father''s place, he even casually mentioned a taboo.


    But this was gu yueqiao''s character. He could retreat, but he had to be willing. If he was not willing, no one could press his neck to make him bow!


    He stood up slowly, a head taller than father gu. He had the advantage when he stood opposite him. Even his tone was condescending, "Does the gu family belong to you alone? That was our father''s land. Who gave you the right to claim it?"


    He had long wanted to remind him that greed is not enough.


    But this reminder sounded like a provocation to father gu!


    "No wonder... No wonder!"


    Father gu pointed at his brother with trembling fingers, unsure whether he was in poor health or was out of breath.


    Ever since gu yueqiao returned to china, he had felt strange. Gu yueqiao, who had never been a busybody, had specially shown him that camera. Now he was sure that gu yueqiao had come back to fight for his family property!


    Just by looking at his father''s expression, gu yueqiao understood that he had misinterpreted his meaning, but it didn''t matter. Anyway, he didn''t feel any more burdensome when he lost his family fortune. He didn''t care if he really tore his face.


    So he smiled lightly and continued, "The distribution of the gu family''s property is unclear to others, but our three brothers know very well. I don''t mind when I''m in a good mood, but you know, I have a weird temper. One minute it''s sunny, the next minute it''s cloudy and thunderous, so..."


    "Don''t tell me those useless things!"


    The more father gu listened, the more frightened he became. He interrupted gu yueqiao angrily and sternly reminded him, "You were the one who voluntarily gave up the gu family''s inheritance. No one forced you with a knife! What do you mean by coming here to talk to me now? Do you still want to sit back and enjoy yourself?! Don''t dream!"


    Finally, that''s it.


    Heh - gu yueqiao shook her head and smiled bitterly. He knew from the day he gave up his business that his big brother was so happy that he wanted to provide him with food and drink for the rest of his life, but after that, their relationship would never return.


    Sheng mi en fought with mi qiu, he complied with the intention to make sacrifices for the brotherhood, not only in his own brother''s heart can not be thanked, but also bring a lifetime of defense and suspicion.


    But is brotherhood really unimportant to big brother? Can it really be abandoned like dregs?


    What did father teach them at that time? Isn''t it that people can''t forget their roots and always remember where they came from?


    But the older brother in front of him who was over half a hundred years old, do you remember?


    Some of the questions he was afraid of were just the result, so he didn''t want to think about them, but when he opened his eyes in pain, the answer was already in front of him.


    "Gu yuejiang, whether you are doing things or doing your favorite business, you should pay attention to the word''sincerity''. Can you still do it?"


    In the first half of his life, he had fought his way out of the world and was already standing on the heads of most people. People called him "Gu dong" and "Master," but the name gu yuejiang seemed to have not been mentioned for a long time.


    Father gu was momentarily absent-minded, but he quickly broke away and asked sarcastically, "Can you do it again? If you do it today, you won''t come back to take my family property. If you can''t, then why are you questioning me?!"


    There were too many branches of the gu family and too many people coveting the gu family. After all these years of hard work and hard work, he could not bear to lose it.


    Gu yueqiao understood this.


    He had heard earlier that a cousin had embarrassed gu mohan on the spot when he was attending the gu family banquet, and that his second brother had also made a request to enter the gu family.


    That cousin was only interested in profit for the time being, but second brother, they are brothers!


    Gu yueqiao was puzzled, "Our three brothers share the same blood in their bodies. They are the closest people in the world. Why do you reject your own brothers like this? We''re not going to rob you of your family property, but can''t our brothers work together to promote the gu family?"

 Chapter 523 Shen Cangs Pursuit

    Join forces? Hmph, a mountain never allows two tigers!


    Father gu looked askance at him, his face strangely unfamiliar under the pale light.


    "If you were the one who inherited the gu family, you would never be able to say that now."


    In france, the president''s office of the Shen shi group.


    Shen cripple was in a good mood today. Although his assistant didn''t know the reason, he also relaxed a lot. He stood at his desk with the documents, hoping that shen cripple, who was in a good mood, wouldn''t blame him for being too inefficient.


    After reading a contract, shen cang looked up from his computer and asked with a faint smile, "What are you doing standing there?"


    The assistant stepped forward and placed a page in front of shen cang, reporting, "You told me to pay attention to gu mohan, the president of the gu group in china. This is the information reported this morning. He came to this city on july 20th, the night before yesterday."


    According to the rules, he should report the news of gu mohan''s arrival to president shen within three hours of the plane landing, but this time it was two days late.


    In fact, he was not entirely to blame for this. Most of gu mohan''s company was in the country, and as the president, gu mohan''s itinerary should be displayed on the company''s website. He usually paid attention to these people as long as he browsed the website regularly, but this time, gu mohan actually went out temporarily without any notice or explanation.


    But even if he had a million reasons, he would still be scolded and punished as long as shen cang frowned.


    "Um... Here?"


    He waited in fear for a long time, only waiting for a meaningful tone word and two words.


    The assistant asked in confusion, "President shen, you..."


    Shen cang seemed to have just found out that he was still standing here. He suddenly realized, "Oh, you go out and do something first. I''m fine here."


    "... Oh, okay."


    The assistant agreed after he realized it, and even after closing the door, he was still wondering why shen cang was so easy to talk to today.


    Inside the door, shen cang was calling ye zhiqiao with his cell phone.


    "Ah? Still going? It''s not appropriate. After all, we are... But... Then... Okay."


    During work hours, although the person on the phone was shen cang, ye zhiqiao was not too obviously distracted, so she refused several times and failed, so she had to give up.


    Strangely enough, after making a lunch for shen cang for qu ning, shen cang seemed to have never eaten in eight hundred years. She was as good a cook as michelin and even had a better taste than the restaurant in this city that had been open for hundreds of years.


    Of course, she would not narcissistically believe shen cang''s words, but shen cang invited her to his house every day these days to eat. What else did shen cang say? Besides the food she made herself, he would have a stomachache if he ate it?


    How come I haven''t seen you die of stomach pain in the past 20 years?


    Ye zhiqiao felt that this was not the way to go on in the long run, or he politely or directly refused several times, but shen can always play the family card. First, he said that he rarely liked to eat, willing to eat the food she cooked was the fate of two people, then he said that when he was a child, his parents were busy with work, he had never eaten a kind family dish, and said that he took her as a friend and was willing to do anything for her. Was it so difficult to ask her to accompany him to eat a meal??


    Generally speaking, ye zhiqiao would be soft-hearted or embarrassed to answer, because if she did not agree, shen cang might add more "Thrilling" reasons behind it.


    Today, too, she agreed when shen cang got up and started talking about his "Tragic childhood."


    But after work, when she slowly followed a large group of colleagues down the elevator, she thought about it for a long time, and still felt that she should explain it to shen cang.


    This is not the way to go on, even friends do not have the reason to eat at home every day, not to mention that they are different between men and women, it would be bad if the company people misunderstand them again.


    Just as she was thinking, the horn sounded regularly not far away. Ye zhiqiao was already familiar with the sound, but she could not help but stare in surprise and look around for a long time before she quickly walked over.


    "I didn''t say don''t pick up in such an obvious position... I..."


    Ye zhiqiao opened the door as she spoke. In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stopped talking and froze.


    In the passenger seat, a large bouquet of fiery red roses was blooming brightly, and the fragrance of the flowers rushed straight into her face along the open door, almost knocking her out!


    This is... What?


    The corner of ye zhiqiao''s mouth twitched. When she turned around, she found something on the shelf.


    What is that?


    It looks like a cake.


    She thought about it in her mind for a long time. It was not her birthday on either the gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar. So... What happened to these things?


    Shen cang observed her expression all the time, and immediately replied after she looked over with doubt, "Today is not my birthday."


    "How did you know I was going to ask that?"


    Ye zhiqiao mumbled, then asked, "Since it''s not a birthday, why buy cake and... Flowers?"


    Because cake and flowers can be used not only for birthdays, but also for chasing girls, especially red roses.


    Shen cang originally planned to say this, but after thinking about ye zhiqiao''s reaction, he swallowed it back and said, "You''re in a good mood. Buy it to adjust the atmosphere."


    Then he blinked and nuzzled his lips at the rose to remind him, "You have to take my flowers before you get in the car."


    Ninety-nine roses filled the seats, and ye zhiqiao had to carry the flowers if she wanted to sit up.


    Ye zhiqiao had studied abroad for many years before, and she was not a reserved person. If it were any flowers, she would pick them up calmly and thank them, but rose...


    The meaning of the rose made her afraid and unable to reach out.


    But shen cang stared at her without blinking, as if he had to force her to accept it.


    The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward for a while. On the surface, it was just a bunch of flowers, but underneath the bouquet, there were two kinds of auras competing.


    If he wanted to give it to her, she wouldn''t accept it!


    After a long time, the sky darkened a little. The weather forecast said there would be heavy rain tonight, and the air was now filled with a faint fragrance of soil. The wind made people feel cold, as if the heavy rain was about to pour down.


    Dinner was already arranged. Although it was a little awkward in her heart, she could not throw her face away because of a bunch of flowers. Ye zhiqiao took a deep breath, closed the door and went to the back seat.


    Since the front seat is not for her, she can sit in the back.


    Just as he opened the door, a fiery ball slid down from his face!


    She stared at the haunted bouquet of roses for a few seconds, then turned to look at shen cang.


    Shen cang was still sitting facing forward, but his smiling eyes were looking at her in the rearview mirror, "It''s just a joke. Don''t like it. Just the two of us, what''s wrong with sitting in the back? Want to cross the chu he han border with me?"

 Chapter 524 Was It an Affair or a Joke in the Kitchen?

    A joke dispelled the awkwardness between the two.


    Ye zhiqiao smiled understandingly and sat back in the copilot, "I was just trying to cooperate with you. Otherwise, it would be boring for you to play by yourself. Well, when can I eat? I''ve been hungry all afternoon."


    "Not full for lunch?"


    Shen cang started the car and chatted with her casually.


    Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, never mentioning flowers or cakes. Even when they got off at the entrance of the villa, no one took the flowers or cakes, as if they didn''t exist at all.


    That''s probably why smart people spend most of their time in peace with each other.


    After entering, the two of them changed their shoes and shen cang returned to the bedroom to take a bath. Ye zhiqiao washed her hands in the bathroom downstairs and went into the kitchen to cook.


    This was the tacit understanding developed by these times of setting fire to eat. Ye zhiqiao asked and knew that shen can was a clean freak, so he was used to taking a bath as soon as he entered the room. Shen can''s workload seemed especially heavy. After taking a bath, he would rest on the bedroom or living room sofa. When ye zhiqiao called to eat, he would rub his eyes and go to the dining room in a daze.


    Ye zhiqiao also joked that he was his hourly worker, but he was too strict with hourly workers, so he only cared about food and not money.


    Opening the refrigerator, there was still a grand scene inside, and all kinds of vegetables and meat were available.


    Ye zhiqiao took out pork, chicken, ribs, vegetables, carrots, cucumbers, bitter gourd, mushroom, etc., and finally squeezed out two eggs from the bottom.


    With two hands full of things, ye zhiqiao took a breath and moved stiffly towards the kitchen counter, her face tense and serious, afraid that something in her hand would fall by accident.


    "Poof -"


    A light laugh came from behind, and then an arm reached out to take most of the ingredients from her hand.


    Ye zhiqiao turned to look at him in surprise and forgot to close her half-opened mouth.


    Shen cang glanced at the pork on the chopping board and asked, "Why? You''re not cooking anymore. You want to eat me?"


    As the contact deepened, ye zhiqiao found that shen''s cruelty revealed his nature, becoming more and more improper, and he was too lazy to pay attention to him. She closed her mouth and took a basin to wash vegetables while asking, "Are you not going to sleep today?"


    "Are you blaming me for neglecting you two days ago?"


    Shen cang turned around and leaned on the stage, hugging his chest and staring at ye zhiqiao, with an unruly smile on his face.


    Compared to being shameless, ye zhiqiao always seemed to be the loser, so she raised the white flag, "My fault, please go back to sleep."


    Shen cang''s attitude today was a little unusual. Ye zhiqiao thought it would be better to keep a distance from him. One upstairs and one downstairs would be good. When the time came, they would get together for a meal and no one would disturb anyone.


    But shen cang didn''t seem to agree with her proposal.


    "I''m not sleepy today. Help you cook." Then he picked up a carrot to cut.


    Ye zhiqiao pulled down the carrot as soon as she saw him holding the knife and said, "It''s not cut like this. You don''t know how to cook. You should stop messing around and go to the living room to watch tv."


    If he were to cut it, it wouldn''t be carrots or his own fingers.


    Shen cang was a little angry at being rejected for being courteous, so he stood firmly in front of the chopping board and narrowed his eyes to look at ye zhiqiao.


    There was no hostility or threat in her eyes, but ye zhiqiao was inexplicably flustered. She looked around and finally had to discuss helplessly, "Why don''t you... Can you help me beat the eggs in the bowl?"


    At home, she had handed over the egg beating to little treasure. Now, it was just a perfunctory task for shen cang to do. Shen cang should not be able to see it. Ye zhiqiao thought that he would not agree to or be angry with her. She looked down on him, but shen cang only paused after hearing it, and then went to the cupboard to look for a bowl happily. It seemed that he was quite satisfied.


    Sometimes it''s fun to work with outsiders!


    Ye zhi qiao secretly rejoiced and turned around to cut the vegetables.


    "Dangdangdangdang..."


    The blades kept falling on the chopping board at the same frequency, and in a short time, the evenly sized side dishes were piled up on several small plates.


    "Clatter -"


    Ye zhiqiao was about to put the knife down when a crisp sound came from behind her!


    No way...


    She turned around stiffly, her mouth twitching involuntarily at the sight.


    It''s really...


    Shen cang stood behind the yellow eggs and broken porcelain bowls, looking confused and innocent.


    "I didn''t get the egg skin in this time. I wanted to show it to you."


    Shen cang explained, but ye zhiqiao always felt that she could hear something else from his explanation and looked around for him. As expected, at least seven or eight eggs were lying in the trash can.


    "Huh-"


    She held her forehead in a daze, not knowing what to say, so she squatted down to clean up the mess.


    Shen cang squatted down and snatched the shard from her hand, "Be careful not to cut your hand. I''ll do it myself."


    "Let me help you." Ye zhiqiao was worried about letting him work alone.


    Shen cang disagreed and said firmly, "Don''t move. It''s very dirty..."


    Before she could finish speaking, ye zhiqiao''s fingertips ached and bright red blood droplets came out and dripped onto the broken porcelain bowl on the floor.


    "Rumble - rumble -"


    A bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, and the sky was grey and blue with lightning and thunder. In the blink of an eye, raindrops as big as beans were falling.


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid of the thunder and began to panic every time she heard it. She looked out the window at the clouds and rain for a few seconds and then looked down at her fingers, thinking about what happened today.


    Seeing her frown, shen cang asked softly, "Does it hurt? Don''t cook, I''ll put some medicine on you."


    Ye zhiqiao was stunned, and only answered after a long time, "It''s all right, just a small opening. Just flush it with water."


    After that, she stood up and walked to the pool, turning on the tap and putting her hand under the water column, regardless of the handicap.


    The expected coldness did not come because a palm much wider than her hand was holding her.


    His arm trembled and he subconsciously pulled it out.


    Shen cang increased his strength and took a step back to pull her in front of him, "How can a man love you when a woman doesn''t love you so much?"


    Normally, she couldn''t feel the distance, but when she got closer, she realized that shen cang was much higher than her. Shen cang lowered his head slightly as he spoke, and his warm breath sprayed all over her head and forehead.


    Ye zhiqiao wanted to back up. This time, shen cang did not oppose her and let her back up, but then he followed her, holding the palm did not loosen.


    "Let me go."


    Unable to bear it, ye zhiqiao finally looked up at him.

 Chapter 525 No Intention of Falling in Love

    Seeing her angry look, shen cang became happy, his eyebrows and eyes curved, like crescents.


    "Answer me."


    "What?!"


    "You know."


    "I don''t know!"


    After playing a few riddles, shen cang felt bored and changed the question, "You don''t have a boyfriend, do you?"


    After getting along for a while, if ye zhiqiao couldn''t see his intention before, it would be excusable. If she couldn''t see it now, she would pretend to be stupid.


    She... Broke up with gu mohan, so she didn''t have a boyfriend, but she was very clear about the relationship. She took shen cang as a friend, and there was no love between men and women at all.


    So she looked him straight in the eye and said firmly, "I don''t have a boyfriend, and I have no plans to fall in love in recent years."


    Mmm!


    Shen cang didn''t expect her to answer like this.


    In his opinion, a woman like ye zhiqiao would only have two reactions to answer such questions.


    First, you don''t clearly tell yourself about your relationship, but you''re insinuating that the other party can continue to pursue it.


    The second is to tell yourself that you don''t have a boyfriend and that you don''t feel anything about him.


    The first was a yes, the second was a rejection, and of course, the first was the majority.


    But what does ye zhiqiao mean when she says she has no plans to fall in love? Was it just a kind person who didn''t want to hurt his self-esteem, or... Who refused to accept it?


    Shen cang could not understand the meaning in her clear eyes, so he had to continue trying according to his plan.


    "Since we have no plans to fall in love, let''s not fall in love. Let''s talk about something else."


    He bent down slowly and imprisoned ye zhiqiao between the kitchen counter and his body, the tip of his nose almost touching hers.


    What serious business can we talk about in this position and distance?!


    Ye zhiqiao was so angry that she threw her head back and pushed shen cang, who was covering her forehead, to the other side with both arms.


    "You... Don''t go too far!" She had endured it for a long time.


    Originally, they decided to talk to shen cang about their relationship, but because a bunch of flowers messed up the plan, but they definitely can''t continue like this, or even friends can''t do it!


    "I..."


    Just as she opened her head, shen cang suddenly rubbed his forehead and complained, "Why are you so cruel? Why did you hit me?"


    "I''ll hit you..."


    "I just wanted to talk to you about the menu tonight. I was just teasing you. Why can''t I be so funny?!"


    "Tease me?"


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyes and recalled the scene.


    In fact, she was flustered by shen cang''s grasp and those words. Shen cang pushed her into a corner, but her body was still quite far away. He put his head closer but didn''t touch her anywhere. If it was a joke... Maybe... Maybe?


    Because these days, shen cang always teased her and occasionally crossed her shoulders. If you think about it carefully, the scene just now was nothing. Moreover, shen cang''s eyes were too sincere at this time, and he could not see any concealment, even with a trace of resentment, as if he was blaming her for her heavy hand.


    "... I''m sorry, does it hurt?"


    Ye zhi qiao frowned and asked shyly.


    "Of course it hurts! Forget it. I''m going back to my bedroom to recuperate. You can cook for yourself. Remember to call me when you''re done."


    Shen cang sucked in the cold air, covered his head and turned to walk out.


    He left the kitchen and walked straight up the stairs. When he reached the second floor, his wrinkled brows relaxed and his lips were pursed into a straight line. His eyes were not filled with any sincerity or resentment, but with a playful smile.


    He leaned forward and rested his arms on the railing, holding his breath as he listened to the noise downstairs. It was only when the sound of water and the collision of bowls and bowls started that he narrowed his eyes and showed an agitated expression.


    It seems too obvious. She doesn''t like it, so what does she like?


    To be honest, the time he spent with ye zhiqiao was not short, but he could not find a way to make her heart beat. At first, he was cold to her, treating her like an ordinary employee, thinking that she would definitely not be able to stand the tiring work and come to him to take care of her, but she did not.


    Later, due to the abuse of qu ning, he was discovered that he had just used that as a turning point to change his way, and from time to time, he had made advances to her to tease her, but it still seemed to have no effect.


    "Ah--"


    With a long sigh, he turned around and leaned against the railing, looking at the carved ceiling and thinking hard, hoping to find a way to successfully take down ye zhiqiao.


    However, it was a pity that he had not succeeded in meeting ye zhiqiao since this day.


    Sitting on the office chair, he circled back and forth in annoyance. Shen cang pinched his temple, using full force and still had a terrible headache.


    This was how he felt. He had to get what he wanted right away. Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable anywhere unless he vented out.


    But now he was too lazy to look for qu ning, so he could only hold on by himself.


    "Knock, knock, knock -"


    He promised. The assistant pushed the door open and came in with a stack of documents in his hand.


    The assistant introduced them in order and put them on the table. Shen cang squinted his eyes and tilted his head, not knowing if he was listening. Only when the assistant took out the last folder did he make a move.


    The assistant handed the document to him and reported from memory, "This is gu mohan''s schedule for the past two days. Nothing special happened yesterday. He was resting at the hotel. He went to see a building this morning and went back to the hotel."


    "Gu... Mo... Han."


    Shen cang slowly recited the name, not caring where he went, but thinking it was time for the players to meet.


    Due to ye zhiqiao''s evasion, his game seemed to have entered a dead end recently. What kind of chemical reaction would happen if he joined another player, gu mohan, at this time?


    It''s really exciting!


    Throwing the document back on the table, he raised his eyebrows and instructed the assistant, "Find a way to ask gu mohan out for dinner. Time..."


    He glanced at the clock and said, "It''s the end of the day."


    "Yes." The assistant nodded.


    After the assistant left, shen cang immediately got up, sat upright, took a document to read, and his mind was filled with scenes that might appear at dinner.


    It was almost the end of the day, and everyone in the office began to pack their things. Ye zhiqiao checked the data on her head and began to list the work plan for tomorrow.


    Unknowingly, the surroundings quieted down, and she was wondering why she had not heard a few active colleagues shouting, "It''s time to get off work."


    She looked up blankly and shen cang was standing in front of her desk looking at her with a smile.


    "President shen? Why are you here?"


    Ye zhiqiao stood up at a loss and clearly heard the whispers coming from around her.

 Chapter 526 Three Players

    Seeing that her face was not good, shen cang understood and said to himself casually, "Isn''t it time for work yet?"


    All the staff in the personnel department were smart, not to mention the boss hinted that they would leave work early, even if the boss pointed at the sun and said that the moon was really round, they all clapped and praised the moon, so as soon as shen rui''s voice fell, the crowd immediately echoed.


    "It''s here. It''s already here."


    "Yes, yes, yes. Let''s go. We won''t be able to catch the bus later!"


    And ye zhiqiao''s active colleague, who couldn''t forget, also shouted, "It''s time to get off work -"


    Then, the crowd dispersed, and shen cang and ye zhiqiao were soon the only two people left in the huge office.


    Although the two of them ended up joking, ye zhiqiao couldn''t help but feel uncomfortable about what happened in shen cang''s villa. She thought shen cang still wanted to invite her, so she said directly, "I''m sorry, president shen, there''s something wrong with the top light of my house. Now I have to find someone to fix it. Otherwise, it''s too late for them to get off work, so I left first."


    Before ye zhiqiao could take her bag and run away, shen cang pressed down her bag belt and said slowly with a gentle smile, "That''s unfortunate. I have to go to a dinner tonight. You know, secretary qu hasn''t come to work recently. I don''t even have a useful person around me."


    Ye zhiqiao''s eyes widened, and she wondered in her heart, isn''t there another secretary without secretary qu? Besides, there are so many people in the company who are experienced, why did she have to come to her?


    Seeing ye zhiqiao''s thoughts, shen can still smile, and there is still some grievance in his smile: "Now that everyone else is off work, I can''t call back, can I?"


    Uh...


    Ye zhi coincidentally looked around, her neck softened and her head hung down fiercely.


    She still couldn''t refuse to go around, so ye zhiqiao had to follow shen cang to the restaurant.


    Walking in an antique restaurant, ye zhiqiao guessed that the customer shen can wanted to see must be a chinese, or else he would have gone to a more formal western restaurant.


    Sure enough, as soon as he walked in, he heard the other party talking on the phone in fluent chinese.


    The seats in the restaurant were all sofas, with a high back and only half of their heads could be seen, but the voice sounded... Familiar.


    Ye zhiqiao felt that she must have thought too much, shook her head to remind herself to cheer up, then made a solemn smile, and turned around with shen cang to stand opposite that person.!!!


    After one glance, ye zhiqiao could not move any further. The smile on her face became stiff and looked a little strange.


    Gu mohan, who had just hung up the phone, stood up and paused in the middle of the conversation, looking a little funny with his face on the table.


    No one noticed that shen cang couldn''t help but smile at them. For a moment, he looked back and forth at them in surprise and asked, "What''s wrong? Do you two... Know each other?"


    Yes?


    More than just knowing each other?! It was a relationship that almost got married!!


    However, thinking that shen cang had been living abroad and didn''t know the domestic news was normal, ye zhiqiao smiled dryly and said awkwardly, "I... Knew him before."


    Hearing her answer, the light in gu mohan''s eyes dimmed, especially when he looked down and saw the arms they were holding.


    However, whether at home or abroad, it was normal for a female partner to hold a male partner, and he could not accept or object.


    What''s more, seeing ye zhiqiao naturally accept the care of the disabled, even if he objected, I''m afraid it was just humiliating himself, right?


    Shen cang spread out the napkin and put it on ye zhiqiao''s lap, then helped her tidy up her bangs, and finally took the menu from the waiter and put it in front of ye zhiqiao to let her choose what she liked.


    After that, he finally "Discovered" gu mohan, who was opposite him, and took the initiative to say his first words besides greetings, "President gu, although your company''s main battlefield is at home, my company is abroad, but I have heard about the famous gu family long ago. I am very happy that you have the honor to attend today''s appointment."


    Gu mohan''s gaze was fixed on ye zhiqiao, even though he was not even swept by the end of his eyes.


    Hearing shen cang''s words, gu mohan forced a smile and said, "President shen is also a dragon and a phoenix among people, but I have a few branches abroad that are not big enough to cooperate with your company."


    Shen cang, on the other hand, put another menu in front of gu mohan and replied, "Then let''s work hard together."


    His words sounded a little strange, but gu mohan''s mind was not here, so he did not think carefully. After dealing with shen cang, his eyes uncontrollably glanced at ye zhiqiao.


    Shen cang had been secretly watching the reactions of the two of them.


    Gu mohan did not hide it. His real partner was still sitting here, so he dared to stare at ye zhiqiao openly.


    Compared to ye zhiqiao, she was much more restrained, her eyes did not wander, and her expression was controlled well. Apart from some stiffness, there was nothing wrong with her.


    Shen cang felt like laughing for some reason. It was an interesting experience to set up a trap to lock two people in and let them fight in the world they thought they were in, while he was a god-like bystander outside.


    But soon, he was unwilling to be a bystander.


    The game, you have to participate in it!


    Shen cang took a sip of tea, then casually approached ye zhiqiao and took her to flip through the menu, "Don''t be so formal. There are only three of us today. You and president gu still know each other. We are all our own people."


    Gu mohan''s scorching gaze was like two needles stuck to his body. Ye zhi didn''t dare to look up for a long time. She flipped through a menu three or four times and only ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea.


    Hearing shen cang''s words, she seemed to be comforted and forced out a smile, "I really don''t know what to eat... You should come."


    Shen cang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, throwing out a bomb: "There are so many different ways to cook, why can''t you order?"


    "Bang -"


    Gu mohan was pouring tea from a teapot, and when he heard that his hand was unstable, the purple sand teapot fell back onto the table and made a loud noise!


    The waiter next to him was a white man who was so scared that his legs were weak that he reminded him in a non-standard chinese language, "Guest, this is a good purple sand pot. It''s very expensive."


    Ye zhiqiao was afraid that gu mohan would be embarrassed and wanted to say something to relieve her embarrassment. She looked up at gu mohan''s eyes, which were about to burst into flames!


    With a sullen face, he reprimanded the waiter, "If this president gu is willing to buy your entire store, do you still need a teapot?"


    Then he turned to gu Mohan and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. I didn''t expect the quality of the service staff in the place I chose to be so low. Why don''t we change?"

 Chapter 527 To Be Jealous and Courteous

    Shen cang''s two words seemed to be helping gu mohan out, but when he heard them, he felt that there was nothing wrong with them. Not only could they not calm his anger, but they added to his irritation.


    When gu mohan received shen can''s invitation, he felt strange. The two companies had never cooperated, and the two never had any private communication. He came to the appointment with curiosity, but he saw ye zhiqiao and shen can come together.


    From ye zhiqiao''s eyes, he could confirm that ye zhiqiao knew nothing about this meal as well as he did.


    With his relationship with ye zhiqiao, was it really just a coincidence that he met at an unnecessary dinner abroad?


    It must be said that gu mohan was very suspicious of shen cang''s intentions, but on second thought, shen cang didn''t have any need to trap the two of them. He couldn''t just want to see them embarrassed, could he?


    At first, gu mohan was silent. Most of the reason was to observe ye zhiqiao, while the other half was to guess the meaning of the disabled behavior. But after thinking about it, there was no result.


    Just now, shen cang seemed to inadvertently say that ye zhiqiao had many different ways to cook, and he immediately understood the meaning of it.


    It was only by watching her cook, and more than once, that she knew that she had many different ways of cooking. Since she cooked, they would definitely eat together. In this way, wouldn''t they have eaten together more than once?!


    Ye zhiqiao had only been abroad for a few days, so she often ate with another man!


    This realization made gu mohan accidentally drop the teapot, and also made him forget to think about his original intention of being disabled. All he could think of was one sentence - this man was challenging him, challenging him with the woman he loved!


    When gu mohan was in a rage for no reason, ye zhiqiao had already retracted her gaze and ordered the dishes on shen cang''s recommendation. She lowered her head quietly again and fiddled with the teacup in front of her with her slender fingers, without looking at Mohan.


    Shen cang looked at the two people quietly as usual. Seeing that the cooling time was almost up, he said to gu mohan again, "President gu should not have been here, and I don''t know the taste here. I''ve been here a few times. Coincidentally, zhiqiao and I have the same taste, so I ordered some first. You can try it later. If you''re not used to it, let''s order again."


    These words were very polite, but to those who were thoughtful, they did not feel any kindness.


    Shen cang spoke with ye zhiqiao, not only his boss''s attitude and tone towards the secretary, but also like bringing his girlfriend to a friend''s party.


    Want to swear sovereignty? Oh, that must belong to you!


    Gu mohan chuckled and raised his eyelids, "President shen is very familiar with miss ye. But you may not know that I know miss ye better."


    Ye zhiqiao suddenly raised her head and stared at gu mohan in disbelief!


    According to shen cang, today''s dinner was business. Although it didn''t look like much from the performance just now, how could gu mohan say this so bluntly?


    In retrospect, Mohan did not look at her, but stared straight at shen cang, like a man declaring war on a man.


    "In china, she''s an employee of my company, and she''s my girlfriend. We already..."


    "President gu!"


    Shen cang interrupted him with a half-smile, "I don''t know what''s going on in china, and I don''t mind zhiqiao''s previous relationship. I just remember what she told me. She''s single now, so there''s no need to say something to make everyone unhappy."


    Single?!


    Gu mohan really wanted to grab ye zhiqiao''s shoulder and ask her. It was clearly just a quarrel. She wanted to calm down and give her time. But he made it clear that he didn''t agree to the breakup. Why did she break up unilaterally with such an irrelevant person?!


    But obviously, this is not the time to hold on to these questions. There is someone looking at him provocatively. He must show confidence and momentum.


    He laughed back in anger. He poured himself a cup of tea and filled ye zhiqiao''s cup. He said casually, "Aren''t all women like this? My heart and my mouth are not the same."


    With a slightly smiley tone, it was as if he had done tai chi and pushed back shen can''s words.


    Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips. Gu mohan''s tea was right beside her, and a faint fragrance came to her nose, but she did not want to pick it up and drink it at this time.


    She had already broken up, and there was no room for change. She had never regretted it, and she told herself in her heart.


    As for shen cang, she did not know what shen cang meant, but she was too lazy to think about it. She was indeed single, but she also told him that she would not fall in love again.


    The waiter came over with a plate to serve and leaned over to block between ye zhiqiao and gu mohan.


    "The dishes are ready. Enjoy your meal, three of you."


    It was still awkward chinese pronunciation. After the white waiter wriggled his fat body and left, ye zhiqiao picked up the teacup, sniffed it at the tip of his nose and drank it slowly.


    Shen cang was choked by gu mohan''s words, but on second thought, he found it interesting and full of energy.


    Seeing that ye zhiqiao was only drinking tea, he purposely did not use public chopsticks, but used his own chopsticks to pick up a shrimp ball for ye zhiqiao, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you mind?"


    Of course, ye zhiqiao shook her head.


    "Then eat more. Don''t be shy." As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched her head.


    Without even raising her head, ye zhiqiao could feel the burning gaze from the opposite side.


    Gu mohan must be angry. He was so self-centered that he saw the woman who almost became his wife get close to others. If it weren''t for her situation, he would have lifted the table.


    But this is good. If you see too much and get bored, you can give up.


    Ye zhiqiao lowered her eyelashes, unable to tell what she felt in her heart.


    Suddenly, a piece of beef was placed on the plate. She followed the chopsticks and looked up, just right into gu mohan''s angry and slightly sad eyes.


    "I prefer fish to shrimp. I prefer beef and vegetables to seafood, right?"


    It was the tone of the statement, while making a good gesture to ye zhiqiao, while demonstrating to shen cang.


    Ye zhiqiao did not know whether she should feel touched, amused, or bored, but she could not bear to think about it, and shen crippled chopsticks reached over again.


    It was a west blue flower.


    Shen cang smiled slyly, "So this is what you like. I remember it in the future."


    Yu guang noticed gu mohan''s colorful expression, and shen cang was even more proud. He thought to himself, "I will not allow you to give me back if you give me four or two ounces."

 Chapter 528 Feng Longqiang Found Gu Mohan

    Gu mohan was tall and powerful, with a strong and cold aura, but he was very childish in nature and could not be provoked or provoked at all.


    Seeing that shen cang was deliberately looking for trouble, he also followed the stage, glanced at the table and put a bowl of red date soup in front of ye zhiqiao, insinuating, "You look a lot whiter recently, don''t you have a good rest? If you want to drink some jujube soup to replenish your qi and blood, this kind of thing will have to be watered down for a long time. It''s useless just to have a whim."


    Without waiting for ye zhiqiao to respond, shen crippled pig''s foot soup came over again: "This beauty, the body is not good, I will take you to the hospital to check another day, don''t trust those food supplements, what if they are damaged?"


    "Nourishment is the concept of traditional chinese medicine. Although we can''t forget our roots abroad, the things of our ancestors are still very valuable." Gu mohan scooped up a spoonful of pine kernel corn and placed it in ye zhiqiao''s plate, calm and collected.


    Shen cang took a piece of yam and put it in. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Only by accepting new things can we develop and not be eliminated by history."


    "It''s not just..."


    The two of them came and went, putting things into ye zhiqiao''s plate while they were fighting. In a short time, the dishes on the whole table almost piled up in front of ye zhiqiao.


    Ye zhiqiao stared at the gradually piled hill, and her ears were filled with gu mohan and shen cang''s seemingly never-ending attacks on each other, and her temples were throbbing.


    However, she remained silent and did not intervene or show any impatience.


    Just like she had advised herself before, it was only this time anyway. After dinner, she was fine. She endured the calm for a while, she endured...


    The next day, after several days of rain, it was rare for a sunny day to come. The blue sky was like a mirror, so pure that there was not even a trace of cloud.


    Feng longqiang had just signed a contract of nearly ten million yesterday, and his mood was as clear as the weather. He walked briskly into the door of the Shen shi group and went straight to the front desk.


    "I want to see you, president shen."


    Although the last deal with shen cripple didn''t end well, he didn''t want to worsen his relationship with shen cripple, so he thought of coming over to contact his feelings.


    The receptionist flipped through the appointment record and found that Mr. Feng didn''t have an appointment. He then opened the web page to check shen cang''s itinerary, then smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, Mr. Feng, Mr. Shen is not here."


    With shen cang gone, feng longqiang would not be foolish enough to ask where he had gone. Thinking of the rumors he had heard recently, he turned to ask, "Where''s secretary qu ningqu? I can talk to her."


    This time, the front desk did not lean over to check and replied directly, "Sorry, secretary qu is not here either. She hasn''t come to work for several days."


    The expression on the front desk was still natural and appropriate after professional training, but feng longqiang seemed to see something strange from it.


    He said "Thank you" and turned around to walk out, but his footsteps could no longer be brisk. Every time he stepped on the embroidered carpet, his feet would make a dull noise, one, one, as if it were knocking on his heart.


    That contract was sold to him by qu ning. He turned his head and gave it to shen cripple for a deal. Shen cripple would definitely find that there was a mole in his company.


    Would it be a coincidence that qu ning didn''t come to work at this time?


    Or... Qu ning had been discovered by shen cang. If she didn''t come to work, shen cang had given her...


    The sun was shining overhead, but feng longqiang shivered.


    Shen cang used to be a gangster, and he was ruthless in dealing with people. This was evident from his usual business style. He had never given himself and his opponent the habit of leaving a way out. He was like a poisonous snake facing its prey, always swallowing it in one gulp, and then slowly digesting it.


    Thinking of the scene of snakes eating people, feng longqiang was even colder and a little nauseous.


    Unconsciously, he quickened his pace and walked towards his new limited-edition bentley. After getting in the car, he stepped on the gas and went straight back to the company.


    If his guess was correct, qu ning would have been disposed of by shen maiming, and he could not even see the body.


    Although he used to be a rival in business with shen cang, he was always on the move, always paying attention to his boundaries, but this time his behavior had obviously crossed the line, I don''t know if it would anger shen cang?


    If qu ning is finished, then will he be the next person shen can deal with?!


    No, with his current strength, it seems that there is no chance of winning against shen cang, but he will not sit back and wait for death. He must find a way... Find a way to unite.


    When he returned to the company, the first thing he did was to call his secretary and send her to investigate the forces that had always been against him and his recent movements.


    In a large enterprise like him, the secretaries and assistants of the leadership are all highly selected and have never been vague.


    Less than three hours after feng longqiang''s order, the secretary had already sent over the investigation results.


    He flipped through his crippled opponent. There were still a few of them coming and going, and there was nothing new about them. Apart from not liking him at all, he would never cooperate with him. He despised others and disdained to cooperate with them. Of course, there was also a common enemy between him and shen cang, which was impossible to cooperate with.


    Seeing that the president''s face was getting worse and worse, and his feet were shaking faster and faster, the secretary pushed another piece of information with a look and prompted, "Mr. Feng, take a look at this. There''s someone interesting on it."


    "Oh?"


    Feng longqiang glanced at her and raised his hand to get the other folder.


    Less than a minute later, his excited voice came out, "Gu mohan? Well, not bad, interesting!"


    As the feng family, who could almost rival the Shen shi group, it was easy for feng longqiang to investigate some domestic news. The secretary was attentive and noticed feng longqiang''s thoughts. When he was sorting out the information, he added notes about gu mohan, even the former fiancee ye zhiqiao of the current staff of the Shen shi had an introduction.


    Feng longqiang immediately made up his mind that Mohan was his partner!


    So the next day after having a big dinner, gu mohan received an invitation from another ceo who had never met him before.


    Gu mohan hated social engagements. Yesterday''s dinner almost made him suffer from stomach problems. However, he intended to expand the gu family. Sooner or later, he would open more branches abroad, so it would be good for him to have a good relationship with these foreign people.


    So in the end, he suppressed his frustration from last night and agreed to feng longqiang''s invitation.

 Chapter 529 Feng Long Forced Cooperation

    In order to keep his head clear, feng longqiang specifically set the meeting time for lunch. Gu mohan had no objection to this, but was slightly surprised to see the extravagance of the lunch prepared by feng longqiang.


    As the two of them ate, feng longqiang prepared the most formal french meal at the dinner party. A long table was five or six meters from the beginning to the end. There were three bouquets of flowers separated from each other.


    Feng longqiang was a familiar person. Seeing that gu Mohan was always inadvertently observing the length of the table and slightly frowning when he used the cumbersome western food etiquette, he asked apologetically, "Doesn''t gu always dislike this way of eating? It''s my fault. I just wanted to accompany president gu to experience the local flavor of france. Instead of thinking about it, I got in trouble. I didn''t take good care of it."


    Gu mohan was speechless.


    If the french natives were to eat at such a long table every day with only one bite on a large plate, they would have to hold their heads high and savor it slowly... He was not sure if the wind was flirtatious, but it was possible that he was crazy.


    However, he was very kind and his attitude was much stronger than that of shen cang last night. He had no reason to humiliate him, so he smiled politely but distantly and said, "No, president feng''s arrangement is very thoughtful. I just want to make sure that I don''t lose face in front of president feng when I return the invitation."


    Of course, he had to return the invitation. As for the purpose of feng longqiang''s appointment with him today, with the step he handed over, it should be time for him to clarify it, right?


    Sure enough, feng longqiang laughed a few times to praise gu mohan''s sense of humor, then turned to the main topic: "President gu is right. We still have many opportunities to get together in the future. The days ahead are long. It''s just... Oh, I''m not one to beat around the bush. Why don''t you just tell president gu what you think?"


    It should have been!


    Gu mohan put down his knife and fork and made a "Please" gesture at him.


    Feng longqiang chuckled and rubbed his thumbnail with his wizened finger, "President gu has been here for a few days. I don''t know if you''ve heard of shen cang, the president of Shen shi group and this company."


    When he mentioned this, gu mohan immediately understood. This time he looked for him, it must be about shen cang.


    However, if feng longqiang could find him, he must have known about his dinner with shen cang. If he asked again now, it was inevitable that he would act like a fool.


    However, from the contact just now, gu mohan had probably seen the nature of feng longqiang, and did not care about it. He only nodded and said, "I''ve heard of it. I''ve met him once."


    "Oh, really?"


    Feng longqiang smiled and paused before continuing, "Actually, I heard about president gu having dinner with shen cang yesterday. I invited you here today because of another thing I heard."


    Gu mohan did not seem to have expected him to be so "Honest" and finally became interested.


    "Miss ye zhiqiao... Seems to be president gu''s prospective wife. Of course, despite all the gossip in the country, miss ye is already your woman, but now she works in shen cripple''s company, and shen cripple still treats her..."


    Speaking of this, feng longqiang carefully looked at gu mohan''s expression, and then tactfully said, "Take care of you."


    Gu mohan took a deep breath and thought that with the development of the internet and the ease of communication, the news about him and ye zhiqiao might have reached the ears of the french people.


    He was uncomfortable. He and his woman were investigated, and no one else would be comfortable. But he couldn''t show it on the scene, and he had to pretend that he knew me well. Then he asked, "I wonder if there''s any meaning in president feng''s concern for me?"


    Feng longqiang waited for him to say this, but he did not see that he was unhappy. He leaned forward and approached him, saying, "You are always smart."


    Then he sat up straight and began to scold him for his crimes, "This man is not honest. He has no reason to behave in the world. No matter how close he is or how distant he is, as long as he doesn''t like his eyes, he will mess with others. He won''t stop until he dies. And you know what? He''s still a gangster!"


    Feng longqiang slapped the table and took the "French local cuisine" as a "Chinese restaurant wine table." He looked very comfortable and did not feel tense all over.


    "Let''s forget about the others. He''s not soft on his secretary who''s been with him for years. Tsk tsk... I don''t know how ruthless he is, so Mr. Gu, whether miss ye is in a fight with you or not, you should get her back from shen cripple first. Otherwise..."


    He did not say the second half of the sentence, only sighed and shook his head.


    At this point, feng longqiang''s meaning was clear.


    But gu Mohan still asked, "So Mr. Feng, your idea is..."


    Seeing gu mohan''s stiff face, as if he had already heard what he said, and was worried about ye zhiqiao''s situation, feng longqiang quickly expressed his thoughts and said, "Feng is willing to help general gu. He is not weak and powerful. General gu is no more powerful abroad than at home, but with my help, he can easily get his wife back."


    After a pause, he added, "Of course, I would definitely appreciate it if gu could provide me with some convenience on the basis of cooperation."


    Cooperation is always a win-win situation. If feng longqiang helps him, he will have to exchange the situation for the same benefits and return it.


    He was willing to consider unilaterally if he could successfully get ye zhiqiao back, but he was unwilling to step forward and get involved in this conflict when it came to foreign affairs.


    The fight between shen cang and feng longqiang was definitely not overnight, which could be seen from the fact that he had just met shen cang yesterday and that feng longqiang was well informed today. Moreover, if the shen cang forces were involved in the underworld as feng longqiang said, it would be even more troublesome.


    The relationship between him and ye zhiqiao was just a matter of love. He stayed for a while longer, and persuasion and flattery could always be saved. After all, they really loved each other, so there was no need to save time by doing so.


    It was easy to figure it out. Gu mohan removed the napkin and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hospitality today, but I can''t accept your intention to cooperate. I''m sorry."


    Feng longqiang was happily eating with a fork of potatoes and almost broke his tongue!


    No... No?!


    Wasn''t it interesting for gu mohan to hear him scold shen cripple? Didn''t gu mohan like that ye zhiqiao very much? Didn''t he get along very well with shen cang last night?


    Then why not cooperate with him!


    Feng longqiang stared at gu mohan in disbelief until he got up and left.

 Chapter 530 The Call Between Gu Mohan and Gu Yueqiao

    In the night, gu mohan stood by the window with a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking at the magnificent street scene more than a dozen floors below, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.


    In the evening, he estimated that he had called ye zhiqiao after work and wanted to ask her out for dinner. He could tell from ye zhiqiao''s performance yesterday that ye zhiqiao was really angry this time, so he didn''t plan to coax her in a short time. Anyway, the domestic affairs were handed over to his assistant, so he could stay with her here.


    On second thought, since the two of them had been together, there had not been a trip for two without any accidents. This time, even if it was compensation, it would be considered an apology.


    However, it was a pity that ye zhiqiao rejected his invitation. In essence, it was not a rejection, because she did not answer the phone at all.


    Gu mohan was depressed, but after drinking a little wine, hope emerged again after the stimulation of alcohol.


    At least ye zhiqiao loved him, didn''t she?


    He and ye zhiqiao had a daughter in common, so this one-sided cold war and breakup had to be reconciled sooner or later.


    She didn''t want to lose her temper. He could wait, or he could find a way to move the head office here if she liked the city.


    He had already identified her, and there was nothing that could not be overcome.


    Thinking that he was not too far away from ye zhiqiao, he bent his fingers against his forehead and finally smiled.


    But the smile did not last long before it was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the bell.


    It''s almost three o'' clock in the morning. Who will it be?


    Gu mohan picked up the phone that was thrown on the bed and was stunned by the caller id.


    Uncle? Why would he call him?


    "Uncle, you haven''t slept yet?" Gu mohan called jian and greeted him.


    There was an obvious pause on the other end, and then gu yueqiao''s apologetic laughter came through the electric current, "My fault, my fault. I forgot to take jet lag into account."


    Gu yueqiao had been studying in various countries all year round, and gu mohan knew this, so he joked, "Which capitalist country is this? Is it so different from me?"


    Because gu yueqiao was not very old, although he did not spend much time with gu Mohan, his relationship with gu yueqiao was relatively comfortable.


    Of course, no matter how comfortable and familiar the relationship was, there was a forbidden area that could not be touched.


    Therefore, when gu yueqiao calmly said that he was in china, gu mohan''s smile froze on his face.


    Like his father, he had a natural defense against the rest of the gu family. After all, with such a large family business in the house, who could guarantee that he would not be tempted?


    But since the gu family was already in the hands of their father and son, and was carried forward by their father and son, there was no reason for people to snatch it away halfway.


    Fortunately, he was different from his father.


    Emotionally, he seemed calm and self-assured, but much more important than father gu. As long as he did not waver in the position of the two names "Gu yuejiang" and "Gu mohan," he was willing to turn a blind eye to the rest.


    After all, it was gu yueqiao''s hometown, and he had no reason to stop gu yueqiao from going back.


    After a few seconds of silence, he smiled and joked, "Is uncle homesick? It''s good to go back and see you. My dad has been thinking about you, but unfortunately, I''m abroad, so I shouldn''t be able to get together with you."


    In the hospital ward, gu yueqiao and his father had torn their faces apart. His father had said a few words to make things right, but he didn''t have the good temper. He slammed the door and left on the spot. Until now, the two brothers had not contacted each other.


    However, he would not tell gu Mohan about this, and there was no need to say that he only made this call to discuss business with gu mohan.


    "How long do you need to be there? Have you left all the company matters to your assistant?" Gu yueqiao asked in a natural tone.


    Hearing this, gu mohan''s face turned completely cold.


    Gu yueqiao''s two sentences were not as simple as they appeared.


    First of all, he knew that after he left, all the matters were left to his assistant. How many people were there in the company''s board of directors, including the assistant secretary beside him? Among so many people, gu yueqiao knew that he was handing over the affairs to his assistant!


    Before he left, gu yueqiao had not returned home. In such a short period of time, how did gu yueqiao find out about this kind of thing that was almost classified as a company secret?!


    And what did he mean by asking him how much time he needed? What does he want to do during this time? Help? Or replace it?


    Gu mohan controlled his tone so that it didn''t sound too stiff. He said vaguely, "I''m not sure yet. Why? You''re too bored to play alone and want me to accompany you?"


    Gu yueqiao noticed that he had deliberately changed the subject and smiled back, "No, I just don''t think it''s appropriate for you to hand over all the company affairs to your assistant, so I want to remind you not to stay out too long."


    This kind of serious tone was as if it were at the negotiating table. Gu mohan had never heard it from gu yueqiao before. For the first time, it was harsh, but it was still harsh.


    What is he doing? Warning or warning?!


    As if he had been touched by someone, gu mohan also became serious, "I am very confident in the person I choose. As for the word" full authority, "It is not a word. The assistant will definitely report to me on important matters."


    The primary school student had the same attitude as the teacher.


    Gu yueqiao curved her lips and smiled softly, as if she had heard a joke and did not take it to heart.


    He had no intention of giving gu mohan a hard time. He was really just a reminder. After all, he was his uncle, and he had the obligation to teach him to grow up regardless of whether he wanted to take the family.


    After the call ended, gu mohan suddenly felt a little tired, as if he had been working in the office all morning. It took him a lot of time to think, but when he turned around, it didn''t seem like anything important.


    What does this uncle mean?


    They said it was a provocative demonstration, but other than that unpleasant sentence, it was more cordial, saying it was a common greeting and a friendly reminder... How could it be!


    Gu mohan''s brain ached as he thought about it, so he simply fell asleep on the bed!


    However, those who usually slept until noon after drinking alcohol fell asleep at three in the morning and woke up at seven in the morning. They did not feel uncomfortable, but the dream of last night flashed past their eyes.


    In the dream, gu yueqiao entered his office and sat on his leather seat custom-made from europe. Together with his father, he stood at his desk and bowed to gu yueqiao.


    It was a nightmare!


    Gu mohan rubbed his face hard and sat up abruptly from the bed. Last night, without drawing the curtains, he turned around and saw the morning sun shining brightly above the rows of tall buildings.

 Chapter 531 Gu Mohan Changed His Mind

    Who doesn''t want to be at the top? Instead of looking forward to the glory of the sun, it would be better to be the master sun.


    Uncle, have you finally figured this out?


    Having developed a sense of crisis, gu mohan could no longer be as relaxed as he had been last night. The long wait must have been impossible.


    Qin Baiye''s project was not a big deal, he could leave anytime, only ye zhiqiao... Very difficult to do.


    In order for ye zhiqiao and the gu family not to delay, gu mohan had to be thick-skinned and go to feng longqiang to eat the grass.


    Perhaps he guessed the meaning of gu Mohan''s invitation. Although feng longqiang was still giving face, he was no longer as flattering as he was the last time.


    Gu mohan could understand that there was nothing to fear.


    In order to dispel the anger that feng longqiang was rejected by him yesterday, he specially chose the meeting place in yesterday''s restaurant so as to show his sincerity.


    However, no matter the status, the human nature is not easy to change. In the middle of a meal, gu mohan was as quiet as ever, adding only a few words to the necessary places, while feng longqiang kept talking like a chatterbox. His mouth seemed to be full of fireworks and fireworks.


    "What Mr. Feng said was that I was lucky to be friends with Mr. Feng."


    After feng longqiang couldn''t help but show his love to gu Mohan again, gu mohan finally answered and raised his glass to toast.


    Then, gu mohan began to talk about business, "Regarding president feng''s proposal yesterday, I went back and thought it over carefully. Since we can work together for a win-win situation, I am still willing to help each other with president feng."


    After a few words, he did not mention that he had rejected her yesterday.


    Feng longqiang also gave him face and agreed, "Well, with president gu''s words, I am definitely ahead of you!"


    Feng longqiang''s impassioned voting heart, even if this matter was done, gu mo smiled and drank with him, but in his heart was another plan.


    Hearing what feng longqiang said just now, he seemed to want to maintain a permanent cooperative relationship with him. He vaguely agreed, but in fact, he would never have too much interaction with people like feng longqiang.


    In order to pull ye zhiqiao back to his side as soon as possible, it was a helpless move to cooperate with feng longqiang to deal with shen cang. Although the last meal was not pleasant for the three of them, shen cang and he were also at daggers drawn, but it was not to the point of enmity.


    He had already made a plan. No matter what happened in the end, as long as he had no time to care about ye zhiqiao and could let him take ye zhiqiao away smoothly, he was willing to leave a way for him to live.


    As for feng longqiang, to tell the truth, he despised the most glib and insincere people, hoping that this was their first and last cooperation.


    He casually accepted feng longqiang''s flattery and cast his eyes outside the window without a trace.


    At one o'' clock in the afternoon, the sun was at its thickest. However, with the influence of the weather, the sky in the distance did not look clear. Instead, there seemed to be dark clouds blocking the sun.


    Not far away, at the same time, there was another person looking out of the window.


    Qu ning raised her head and looked up at the sky with all her might, holding her arms. It was as if the light coming through the narrow glass was so little that she had to suck it up to prevent herself from becoming a half-dead zombie.


    It has been two days since he was locked up here.


    In the past, when she watched the movie, she never felt how pitiful the victim who was locked up by a pervert was. Anyway, she would not die if she ate and drank. At worst, she would suffer some abuse.


    But when she was really locked up in this small basement, she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.


    Compared to humiliation, pain, jealousy and hatred, losing freedom is the most terrible thing!


    Locked up here, she felt like a mouse, a cockroach, a corpse lying in a grave... Like all low and dirty things, but not like a person.


    Or maybe she thought she was a person, but her right to be human was denied.


    She hated, she hated the bodyguard who caught her back, she hated seducing the crippled ye zhiqiao, but only to the person who ordered her to be locked up... I don''t know if I should hate, can I hate!


    "Dong - dong - dong"


    The regular soft sound of leather shoes on the ground came, and the door beside her creaked open. The person she hated and did not hate came.


    Turning to look, shen cang put a small brass lock on the small table, threw a key into his pocket, and finally looked at her.


    After one glance, there was a trace of surprise on his expressionless face.


    Qu ning withdrew her gaze from his pocket and looked up at him. She smiled enchantingly, "Are you silly? Is it because I''m too beautiful, or do you think it''s strange that I''m not as crazy as I was the other day?"


    The two of them knew the answer.


    Qu ning did not want him to answer. She turned around and sat back on the bed. Her legs, which were well-proportioned, overlapped and leaned in the direction of shen cang.


    The room was just a tiny bit too big to be considered a deliberate seduction.


    She was still smiling like that. Her amorous eyes glanced at her crippled hand, the tip of her tongue sticking out and licking her lips, "What else did you bring me? Do you know that I''m going to be fattened up by you these days?"


    Shen cang''s eyes darkened and he squinted at her without saying a word.


    Qu ning didn''t care. She continued, "In fact, I know in my heart that you are so good to that ye zhi now. You just find it interesting. You have had enough fun and feel bored. You will still come back to me and lock me up so that I won''t be too far away from you, right?"


    Qu ning said the exact opposite with a confident look of victory. He covered it up well, so that no one could see the sadness.


    Shen cang locked her up for fear of being discovered by ye zhiqiao.


    Last time, shen cang let her go in front of ye zhiqiao, but she could never let her wander outside. She was his woman, even if he was tired of it, but unless he spoke in person, she would never escape.


    Moreover, he had not finished the last payment and had no time to deal with her recently, so he had to lock her up first.


    In fact, there is another reason, and it should be the most important point. Shen cang has been trying to invite ye zhiqiao to his house these days.


    Shen cang, shen cang, you are so cruel.

 Chapter 532 Qu Ning Fled Back to the Country

    Qu ning propped her hands on the bed behind her back and looked up at shen cang''s smiling face.


    Shen cang pounced on her, grabbed her leg with one hand, pinched her face with the other, leaned over to her ear and exhaled, "Finally figured it out, right?"


    Qu ning gritted her teeth and boldly wrote "Seduction" between her brows and eyes. She bit her lips and slowly let go. The tip of her tongue was raised slightly, "Yes."


    Shen cang''s eyes were already deep, and as the words fell, the two of them fell heavily on the narrow single bed...


    -


    The sun shifted, and from qu ning''s position, she could no longer see the complete arc. There was no watch in the room, and she did not know the time.


    One by one, he put on his clothes, deliberately ignoring the bruises and scratches on his body, but the pain that caused him to collapse could not be avoided.


    Forget it, this is the last time, at least in the near future, this is the last time.


    Qu ning comforted herself like this, then reached under the mattress, touched left and right, and touched a cool object with his fingertips.


    Even a man like shen cang, who likes to stay out of things, can''t be distracted when he is in bed. The pocket of his coat is big, and he can steal the things inside in an instant by putting his hand in it.


    Qu ning held the key and looked at it again and again in the sun. Finally, she gritted her teeth and put on her shoes and got out of bed.


    The door of the small room was wooden and locked outside, but there was a wooden board on the inside, and an empty block after it was moved was right in front of the lock on the outside.


    Qu ning didn''t know what the designer of the house was thinking about designing the door, but the idea saved her.


    Taking advantage of the small skeleton, she quickly unlocked the door. After pushing the door, she did not look back at the small room like the urn and went straight to the exit.


    There was no need to look, because she would never come back to this place, and she would never live like this again!


    She took a taxi, went back to her home to get her id card and passport, and then took the same bus to the airport, so anxious that she didn''t even change her clothes.


    There was no time. She had to buy the ticket for the fastest flight and then run away. If shen can find out, she might not be able to leave for the rest of her life!


    Fortunately, god was willing to forgive her after suffering so much for her.


    The plane slowly rose, and her heart slowly fell to the ground.


    She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, which was the most relaxing moment of the time. She calmed down and began to think about her plans after returning home.


    In fact, she did not know why she came back this time, to avoid being disabled.


    No, that was just a last resort. If it wasn''t for ye zhiqiao''s appearance, she wouldn''t have left shen maiming for the rest of her life.


    So her enemy was ye zhiqiao, and with this opportunity to return to china, she had to find a way to deal with ye zhiqiao!


    However, ye zhiqiao is still abroad, and she is afraid that she will not be able to reach...


    "Ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao, ye zhiqiao... Gu mohan!"


    She silently recited ye zhiqiao''s name, but suddenly thought of gu mohan. Qu ning suddenly opened her eyes, and a huge surprise appeared in her bright peach eyes.


    That''s right, shen cang chased after ye zhiqiao for so long, but ye zhiqiao still refused to let go. It must be because he was still thinking about gu mohan! Although this woman was considerate, she almost married gu mohan. She must have been moved.


    Qu ning had investigated ye zhiqiao''s information, and naturally she had investigated gu mohan along the way. However, at that time, her mind was full of pulling back her heart, and many things were not considered carefully enough. Now the situation was different. Perhaps starting from gu Mohan, she could accurately grasp ye zhiqiao''s pain.


    That''s right, gu mohan... Gu shi...


    Qu ning narrowed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. This time, she thought of nothing and fell asleep with a smile on her lips.


    Qu ning has been working as a secretary for many years, and her aggressive style of doing things has almost become her instinct. After the plane landed, she immediately found a hotel to check in, and then through her own network with the information on the internet, to figure out the situation of the gu family.


    Gu''s company is similar to every listed company, except for its wide industrial chain and large branches, which are the leading enterprises in this city.


    She didn''t need to know how powerful gu shi and gu mohan were. What she needed was a loophole!


    Fortunately, she had done everything she could. In a not-so-famous entertainment news, she discovered gu yueqiao''s existence.


    With a name, it''s not difficult to find other information online.


    Gu yueqiao, the youngest of the three sons of the founder of the gu group, was exceptionally gifted and capable. He had demonstrated extraordinary business skills since he was a child and was the favorite and favored child of his father.


    But to everyone''s surprise, the eldest son, gu yuejiang, was the father of gu mohan, not the youngest son who inherited the gu family business a hundred years later. After that, gu yueqiao traveled all over the world and lived a life of rich and idle people.


    However, the third master of the gu family, who did not fight for fame, actually returned to the city a few days ago and intervened in the gu group. Outsiders did not understand the significance of his actions. They were speculating whether there was a falling out within the gu family. Gu yueqiao could not bear to do so.


    After carefully reading the materials and reports, qu ning''s smile became more and more intense.


    She did not care what the reason for gu yueqiao''s interference with gu shi was, as long as gu yueqiao''s behavior would bring about a possible earth-shaking change to gu mohan and gu shi. Such a person was exactly what she needed!


    Having made up her mind, she came up with a plan on the spot, and it was the best time for her to approach gu yueqiao before gu yueqiao could make a huge impact on the gu family.


    Hehe, the person who made me like this, you wait, I''m here to take revenge...


    Gu yueqiao did not have a good time these two days. The weather changed quickly and the temperature difference was too great. She caught a small cold.


    However, he felt that maybe he had offended too many people recently and was cursed by psychokinesis.


    He stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and sneezed twice before getting out of the car. When the doorman came to help park the car, he took a deep breath, as if he was afraid of being infected.


    Gu yueqiao thought the child was very funny. He took out two red tickets as a tip and entered the house with his nose rubbed.


    Another friend asked him out for dinner today.


    Strangely enough, he had been playing outside all these years. When he was alone, he couldn''t think of any other friends, but this time he came back, he was called out by a group of people every once in a while to eat. At first glance, he really knew them all.


    These people are really nostalgic now!


    He tilted his head and smiled, unable to tell whether it was genuine or fake, but the next sneeze was real.

 Chapter 533 Gu Yueqiao and Qu Ningchu Met

    "What?! You''re not coming? Are you kidding me?" Gu yueqiao leaned back in his chair, rubbed his nose and questioned him angrily.


    He didn''t remember the person who asked him out today. If he hadn''t needed to make more friends recently, he wouldn''t have come out to eat with a cold in his head. Wouldn''t it be better to take a bath at home?


    Now that he''s upside down, they say he can''t make it!


    The man on the other side apologized sincerely, but he always felt like he was perfunctory, "Sorry, sorry! I really can''t leave. You can eat it yourself. Order the best and the most expensive. The money is on my account, so that''s it?"


    Who needs a meal from you?


    Gu yueqiao sneered and raised his leg, "Okay, you can''t come, but you have to send me a picture so that I know who the person who invited me to dinner is, right?"


    "No, no, no. I''ll treat you again next time I get a chance. That''s it. Bye!"


    Gu yueqiao smiled helplessly at the busy tone coming from her phone, then closed her eyes to relieve her headache and decided whether to stay here or go to a day food store for a change.


    "What, you''re not coming?! Are you kidding me? You were the one who insisted on pulling me to dinner, and I didn''t even have time to put on my makeup!"


    A barrage of firecrackers was heard in his ears, accompanied by a charming voice. Gu yueqiao opened his eyes because of the noise and saw an enchanting figure standing less than two meters away from him.


    Very close, the scent of rose perfume rushed into his nose.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t like roses.


    He rubbed his nose and sneezed. He still planned to go to the daily food store.


    Just as he was about to get up, the woman who had finished the call walked up to him and asked awkwardly, "Excuse me, sir, can I sit here?"


    "Well..."


    Ignoring the woman''s unintentional or unintentional eyes, gu yueqiao sat down in her casual suit and nodded with a smile, "Please."


    Sitting opposite, the two of them naturally looked at each other. Although it was only a second or two, it was enough for them to know what they wanted to know.


    "My name is qu ning. May I meet you?"


    Qu ning reached out her hand first, and a slight smile that did not show her teeth accentuated her gentle and beautiful temperament.


    The man on the other side was her goal for today and the rest of the day. He looked good, not as clear and sickly as shen cang. He was more masculine, but not as greasy as a muscular man. In short, it was just the right feeling, which made people feel close to each other.


    No wonder old master gu liked him. He was probably the first person most people would see in the crowd.


    "Gu yueqiao."


    Gu yueqiao reached out her hand and introduced herself briefly.


    All he noticed was that the woman across from him had put on makeup, and she was the kind of scheming woman who didn''t look strong, but she was busy for half an hour.


    So, the woman lied on the phone just now, so was she lying to her friend, or... To him?


    Gu yueqiao''s pupils were dark, and she looked like a red phoenix at the end of her eyes. When she focused on looking at people, she felt like she was about to suck them in.


    When qu ning saw him looking at her like this, she couldn''t help but feel delighted, but she smiled sheepishly and explained, "I''m sorry. I was standing close to you just now, and I accidentally heard you talking on the phone."


    She spread her hands and was very helpless, "In the end, my friend stood me up too. I just thought that we were both miserable. Do you want to have a meal together?"


    Gu yueqiao stared at her for a long time. The expression on her face could not be said to be playful or anything. It was always inexplicably nervous.


    Just as qu ning was racking her brains for something to add, gu yueqiao suddenly rang the bell and called for the waiter. She returned to her initial friendly smile, "It''s my honor to have dinner with a beauty like Miss Qu. I just don''t know what your taste is. I bet you like... Fish?"


    Fish!!!


    Qu ning''s overlapping legs suddenly dropped, and the ankle bones hit the legs of the table, almost crying out in pain.


    Oh my god, she hates fish the most. It''s fishy and ugly. It feels like she ate a bug in her mouth!


    Gu yueqiao saw that she had a strange look on her face and asked with concern, "What''s wrong? Don''t you like it?"


    It was not easy to find an opportunity to get close, so she had to make a good impression. Gu yueqiao must have asked because he liked fish, so even if she felt disgusted, she had to...


    "No, I like fish best. I like steamed, stewed, and roasted fish!"


    Ouch -


    Just thinking about it disgusts her.


    The waiter reminded her, "Excuse me, miss, the only fish we serve today are grilled salmon, dried cod, fish pancakes, tuna salad, and avocado salmon. The soup includes salmon meat vegetable soup and cucumber tuna cold soup."


    Qu ning closed her eyes and thought that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. You should say, "Excuse me, miss, we don''t serve fish today!"


    Taking advantage of qu ning''s closed eyes, gu yueqiao finally couldn''t help but curl his lips up slyly, then immediately returned to normal and said with a slight thought, "Since this lady likes fish so much, let''s share what you just said."


    Qu ning: ..."


    Waiter: "Sir, are these quantity dishes only for you two?"


    "No."


    Gu yueqiao shook his head. Qu ning was wondering who else he wanted to call, so she listened to him slowly and continued, "These dishes belong to this young lady alone. I want a seven-ripe steak. The seasoning only needs black pepper, salt and rosemary, and a bottle of red wine."


    He ran his fingers across the wine list and landed in one spot: "Just it, thank you."


    The waiter took the menu and left. Gu yueqiao was in a good mood and took the initiative to talk to qu ning.


    "Miss Qu, your earrings are beautiful. They look very similar to what I saw at a jewelry design company in france."


    Perhaps it was because of the shock of a pile of fish, qu ning replied honestly, "It should be the one you saw."


    "Oh? Miss Qu was also in france? School or travel?" Gu yueqiao was intrigued.


    "School... And work. I just came back a while ago."


    Gu yueqiao asked, "I wonder which company is so honored and the boss has such good eyes. That company must have a bright future, right?"


    Some things can be told the truth, and some things can''t be done at all.


    Qu ning did not tell the truth this time and said vaguely, "It''s a small and insignificant company. I said that Mr. Gu should not know."


    ... Really?"


    At this point, the conversation ended.


    Gu yueqiao didn''t have much to ask, but qu ning wanted to talk to her, but she didn''t dare. She couldn''t show her purpose too openly at the first meeting, or gu yueqiao would lose more than she got.

 Chapter 534 Gu Yueqiao Was Suspicious

    In the silence, the waiter happened to push the cart over and put the exquisite dishes on the table. Gu yueqiao raised his hand and said, "Please, Miss Qu."


    Qu ning forced out a smile and took a knife to cut a small piece of the nearest pan-fried salmon into her mouth...


    Oh, what''s that smell?


    At the end of the meal, qu ning''s feelings could not be described as "Tasteless," but as "Unbearable pain."


    She kept drinking water, but still felt the fishy smell of fish in her breath. Finally, she finished the fish soup under gu yueqiao''s encouraging gaze. She suppressed the churning in her stomach and smiled, "It''s really delicious."


    "Yes, it''s not bad."


    Gu yueqiao nodded with satisfaction, called the waiter to pay the bill and said to qu ning, "Where is Miss Qu going next?"


    "I... I want to go to the park near the sea. I heard the scenery there is good."


    Gu yueqiao raised his eyebrows, "Really? That''s close to the hotel I''m staying at. I''ll take you there."


    He stood up and pretended to leave.


    Qu ning took out her business card from her bag and declined politely, "Don''t bother. I''ll take a walk just in time to eat. This is my business card. Thank you for your treat today. I''ll definitely invite you back another day."


    Gu yueqiao''s tongue stuck to her cheek, but he did not insist. He took out his business card and exchanged it with her. He nodded and said, "You don''t have to ask me back. Make a friend. Eat slowly. I''ll go first."


    Qu ning waved goodbye and chased after the tall figure until the car left. Then she looked back and smiled with success.


    A gifted child, that''s all!


    In the car, gu yueqiao put on her headphones and called her well-informed friend. There was only one sentence: "Do me a favor and check the background of a woman named qu ning. I have a business card for you later. Thank you."


    Pressing the phone and putting his left hand back on the steering wheel, gu yueqiao tilted his head slightly to look at the pedestrians and vehicles in front of him, unconsciously smiling.


    It was so funny. The boring party was stood up, but she met a strange woman everywhere. Although she was not completely sure that there was something wrong with her yet, it was almost impossible to tell.


    In fact, he had been suspicious ever since that woman called.


    The woman''s voice was a little loud. There were few customers in the restaurant at that time, and the environment was very quiet. Seeing that woman''s every move was not like a person without quality, so the abnormal volume was deliberately suspected.


    Secondly, women clearly put on makeup, but they have to emphasize that they did not. This is the behavior of women when they deliberately want to show their beauty. The friend who talked to the woman couldn''t see her, but gu yueqiao saw her instead.


    After that, the woman''s far-fetched reason for eating at the same table was also full of flaws. She did not like fish, but she had to show that she liked it very much. Obviously, she guessed gu yueqiao''s preferences, so she deliberately moved up.


    Unfortunately, the fishman yue qiao did not move at all, because he was also very annoying. At that time, half of the questions were about her taste, and the other half were about testing.


    There was no need to say anything about the woman''s ambiguous words at work and the desire to speak after that. The woman''s performance before leaving confirmed gu yueqiao''s suspicions once again.


    He said he wanted to return the invitation, looking very embarrassed, but he didn''t mention aa when he paid the bill. Of course, this may be a personal habit problem, but before he looked like he wanted to get close to him, he offered to send her on the way and refused, which was neither new nor skillful.


    Gu yueqiao shook his head, parked his car in the garage of one of the most luxurious hotels in the city center, and then went upstairs to enter the house.


    He didn''t live by the sea, so he lied to her on purpose.


    When he returned to his room and took a shower, he leaned back comfortably on his bed to check on the stock market of the gu family today. A friend called.


    After a phone call, he had no intention of looking at the stocks.


    Walking barefoot to the window, gu yueqiao smiled as she half-narrowed her eyes to the distant clouds and the billboards on the rooftop of the city''s largest department store.


    He was right. Qu ning was not an ordinary person. She was the secretary of Shen shi group, a famous french company.


    As for the degree of intimacy, a friend did not need to say it too clearly. He could understand it just by listening to those two words.


    He had heard of this company, which was passing by the main building of the company when he was traveling to france. It looked very grand indeed. The whole building was designed in european style, and the annual renovation alone would probably cost a lot of money.


    The secretary of the president of such a large company would probably take a month to leave, but according to her friends, she was still working at the company a few days ago, so she suddenly ran back to the country and had a "Chance encounter" with him. Why on earth?


    She was a disabled person, and that was for sure. Perhaps this time, she was entrusted by the disabled to return to china to carry out some secret missions.


    She must be a very important person to shen cang...


    When gu yueqiao thought of this, an interesting plan suddenly appeared in her mind.


    Shen cang was one of the most important figures in the french economic circle. Recently, he was interested in the gu group. If he could subdue the people around shen cang and then gain the help of shen cang''s power, then his position and reputation could rise in the gu group, which would be much easier than stepping up one step at a time.


    Ah, two days ago, he was still worried about the gu family who was hard to find a crack. He didn''t expect that he would come to the door so soon!


    His mood suddenly rose, and he took two or three steps back to the soft bed and continued to look at the stock market with his cell phone.


    On the other hand, after leaving the airport, ailey waited for many days, but she didn''t see the news and hot search about her and gu mohan''s scandal. She was anxious and called lin zhengfei several times, but it was all turned off.


    This time, she had an idea and found a public phone by the roadside to contact him.


    After the beep, it was connected!


    Ailey was so angry that she immediately roared, "Lin zhengfei, you bastard! Why didn''t you answer all the calls I made to you? Did you take my money and not want to do anything?!"


    Opposite him, lin zhengfei''s legs softened and he almost knelt down.


    He had been hiding from this aunt for several days, all the contact information was blocked, but he didn''t expect to fall into this!


    He cleared his throat a little awkwardly and said, "Big star, you''re such a busy person. Why do you have time to look for me? I see you''ve received so many notices, you''re almost too busy."


    Since the rumor about gu mohan''s wedding, ailer''s popularity has indeed increased a lot, but it was only from the 18th line to the 3rd line. Of course, she was not satisfied. She wanted to be a popular actress, the kind that was always the focus wherever she went!

 Chapter 535 Father Gu Dealt with the Little Star

    "Lin zhengfei, stop pretending to be stupid. Where are those photos? When will you send it? My hair is white. Can you be more reliable?!"


    Lin zhengfei held up his brand new camera and shook it in the sun. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He remembered that gu yueqiao paid for the camera and thought that he would have a future with the big boss. So lin zhengfei, who had climbed up to the big boss, became much more determined against the old owner. "Oh, those photos. I accidentally exposed them last time when I was developing them. I can''t use them all. I''m really sorry."


    The apology was insincere, and the content was the one that shocked ailer the most.


    "No need? Are you kidding me?!! It was an opportunity that I had to work so hard to find, and you just thought..."


    Lin zhengfei was impatient and had a shoot to do, so he interrupted, "I said it''s useless. What''s the use of arguing with me here? Besides, you only gave me so much money. Do you still point at me and stare at them with good eyes every day? That''s funny."


    When ailer heard this, she thought that he was angry at the lack of money. Although she was very angry at this kind of person, she still suppressed her anger and discussed in order to become popular in the future, "Brother lin, why don''t you see how much money is suitable? I can give you more money. You know how difficult it is to get ahead in the circle, so..."


    "Okay, okay, I know it''s hard for you, but I can''t show a p without the photo, can I?" Lin zhengfei curled his lips, "How about this? Give me your card number and I''ll return all your money. That''s it. I''ll hang up first."


    After that, he hung up the phone happily and didn''t even give her time to respond.


    Ailey stood on the side of the road with the microphone in her hand. Almost a minute later, as she was about to curse, four men in black, pants and sunglasses suddenly surrounded her.


    With the word "Fuck" in her mouth, she swallowed and narrowed her neck and blinked, "What are you... Doing?"


    The leading man took the phone she was still holding, put it away, and walked back to her and said, "Miss ailer, right? My lord has invited you. Please get in the car."


    Following his hand, ailer slowly turned her head and saw two audis parked on the side of the road.


    One by one, the two cars passed through the busiest streets of the city, drove into the province''s famous rich area, and finally stopped in a magnificent compound villa courtyard.


    It looked like the butler''s man came over to open the door. Ailey got out of the car in a daze and followed the butler to the villa.


    She had seen this kind of villa before. It was the home of the heroine during a filming. The maid she played was back and forth in the kitchen and garden every day. She did not even have the honor to go upstairs and take a look. The villa in front of her was much more beautiful than it was at that time.


    This time, there was still no chance to go upstairs. The butler led her directly into the living room, where there was only an old man reading a newspaper. She recognized him at a glance.


    It was gu mohan''s father, a well-known figure. She had been living in school and waiting for her death a few years ago, and the family had already turned the tables in the business world.


    It''s just that such a person specially picked her up to meet... Was it for gu mohan''s sake?


    Thinking of the scandal she had with gu mohan, ailer shuddered and her back broke out in a cold sweat!


    "You, no... You... Hello, may I ask..."


    "Sit down."


    Father gu did not listen to her stuttering and timid greetings. He put down the newspaper and glanced at her and asked her to sit down.


    Ailey wanted to say that she wasn''t going to sit, but the air pressure around her was like a weight, which made her sit on the sofa.


    This time, he didn''t sit down, and half of his butt was suspended.


    As she quietly moved in, father gu said again, "About the previous news about you and Mohan..."


    Ailey paused and listened intently as he continued.


    "I can get away with it. After all, everyone has a heart to climb, which is understandable. But there''s a way to climb up. I can tell you clearly that you''re stepping on gu mohan and climbing up. Miss ai, your plan is wrong."


    It was clearly a few words in a very light tone, and there was not even a hint of discontent in them, but ailey felt as if a needle had suddenly appeared under her buttocks, pricking her up and making her feel uneasy and uneasy.


    "Old Mr. Gu, I..."


    In the middle of the conversation, a gold card fell in front of her eyes, and ailer''s voice stopped abruptly. She raised her head stiffly in the direction of the card, and the butler stood there expressionless.


    Father gu raised his chin toward the card, "Take it. Don''t do anything like that again. Remember, if you agree, you can leave."


    In ailer''s shocked eyes, father gu picked up the newspaper he had put aside and read it carefully.


    As the sun and the moon changed, night fell on china in a daze. The moon was in the middle of the sky and france was welcoming the dawn of the morning sun.


    Ye zhiqiao woke up very early today. When the first ray of light shone through the curtains into the room, she had put on light makeup and was ready to go out.


    Today is an important day. She must get to the company as soon as possible and get ready.


    -


    Yesterday evening, after work, shen cang appeared in the personnel department office again. Everything was the same as last time. The office colleagues left in a daze. Ye zhiqiao followed him helplessly after confirming that shen cang would not invite Mohan to dinner.


    But while the two of them were having dinner at shen cang''s villa, shen cang suddenly made a terrible proposal.


    "Zhiqiao, come and be my secretary."


    The fish balls at the tip of the chopsticks slipped off, bounced, bounced from the plate to the table, bounced from the table to the ground, and ye zhiqiao asked in surprise, "What did you say?"


    Shen cang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I know you heard me. Can you not refuse me? I''ve already pulled your file out of the hr department. Just wait for your permission and the assistant will immediately promote your treatment to the ceo''s secretary''s file."


    Ceo''s secretary... Treatment?!


    Ye zhiqiao put down her chopsticks and shook her head, "No, no, no, I''m not talking about the treatment, but I did a good job in the personnel department. How can I just walk away? Too irresponsible. Besides, what should secretary qu do when she comes back? I can''t just take over the magpie''s nest, can I?"


    Shen cang was displeased, "Who said you were a dove?"


    In fact, ever since he became interested in ye zhiqiao, his plan was to put ye zhiqiao beside him. He had arranged for her to go to the personnel department before, just to let her suffer a little, and then he could know his good.


    However, now that qu ning had left and gu mohan had arrived, the timing was just right, so he also planned ahead.


    Anyway, from now on, ye zhiqiao still feels good about him.
