"..." Zhou Shutong was stunned.
If Chu Lingjue had avoided answering or made up a lie to deceive her, her reaction would not have been so great; but Chu Lingjue told the truth without hesitation and spoke calmly, but she was at a loss. .
Sheng Xinyi had returned to the car nearly a minute ago.
She had known about what happened in Gu Xiwan's office a few days ago. However, at this moment, hearing Chu Lingjue speak so openly, the despair aroused in her heart was even greater than a few days ago. The moment I got the news was even more intense.
"Ling Jue, you... you can actually do such an immoral thing? What's even more incredible is that after doing such a thing, you are so confident. I can't see that you feel any guilt at all, you...
What happened to you? "
After a long silence, Zhou Shutong finally made a sound. Her voice was trembling badly.
Chu Lingjue was calm as usual, his voice was cold and clear,
"Didn't I already say that she is too tempting for me. Once I see her, I can't hold it back. I lose control."
"What?!"
Zhou Shutong couldn't believe that the person in front of her was her upright son. She grabbed Chu Lingjue's ears and exploded completely.
"Chu Lingjue, how long have you and Yiyi been married? You are a married man, and Wanwan is already someone else's wife. How could you do such a thing?
No!
This isn't like you!
You were not like this before. You had morals, conscience, and a bottom line. You would never do such disgusting things like those shameless bad men. There must be a reason for you to do this. Frankly tell me, in the end. what's going on! "
Of course Chu Lingjue would not tell the reason, but simply said,
"Mom, just think that I am also a disgusting bad man."
"You..." Zhou Shutong was so angry that her eyebrows were trembling,
"You bastard! Look at the good son I taught. I have always regarded you as my pride. Who knew you would end up like this? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Yiyi? Are you worthy of your dead father?
Woo, woo, woo..."
He lay on Chu Lingjue's shoulder and burst into tears.
Chu Lingjue could not tell anyone the secret that Gu Xiwan was carrying his child, so he could only let his mother shed tears.
At this time, Chu Yujiao, who was in charge of driving, couldn't stand it anymore. She parked the car on the side of the road and said loudly,
"Mom, please don't make a fuss about it, okay? Isn't it just that? My brother is not an ordinary person. I have seen rich men like him raising dozens of lovers outside. Sheng Xinyi can't satisfy him. What's the use of him finding other women to vent his feelings outside?"
After hearing these words, Sheng Xinyi's already heavy mood worsened, and her nails dug deeply into the tender flesh of her palms.
Zhou Shutong pointed at Chu Yujiao’s face and said sternly,
"you……
You talk nonsense all day long, how can you compare your brother to those people, shut up! "
"Humph!" Chu Yujiao curled her lips helplessly.
Not daring to talk to her mother anymore, she turned to look at Chu Lingjue and said,
"Alas! Brother, you are so pitiful. Your condition is so serious, and your mother doesn't know how to care about you, understand you, or kidnap you morally. You should be lucky for yourself."
Chu Lingjue remained silent.
Zhou Shutong's tears stopped instantly, and her eyes were less angry and more worried.
"Wanwan also said that your brother was sick when we were in the hotel lobby, and now you also say that his condition is serious... Is he really sick?"
"Of course." Thinking of Chu Lingjue's illness, Chu Yujiao couldn't help but laugh.
"My brother has a mental illness. This is what Butler Qin told me. After my observation of my brother, he has indeed been very abnormal recently. Mom, you will think about what he did to Gu Xiwan when he was in the hotel. Think about what he just said to you, do you think he is a normal person?"
The worry in Zhou Shutong's eyes became even stronger.
Feeling that she had successfully convinced her mother, Chu Yujiao pouted her lips proudly,
"Mom, my brother is your biological son. He is mentally confused right now and does things that are not in line with common sense. At this time, when he needs people's attention the most, you actually reprimand him and blame him. Alas! This is your biological mother!"
The worry in Zhou Shutong's eyes turned into guilt. She gently held Chu Lingjue in her arms and whispered softly in his ear,
"Juejue, I'm sorry. Mom didn't know you were sick. Don't blame her. No wonder you did those outrageous things. Mom won't blame you anymore...
well! Blame it on me. I just hit you so hard. Your ears are so red because I twisted them. Does it hurt? "
An evil light flashed across Chu Lingjue's eyes as bright as ice crystals, and he said without any trace,
"It doesn't hurt."
"That's good, Juejue, be obedient and see a psychiatrist every day starting from tomorrow, okay?"
Chu Lingjue's body, as straight as a steel plate, trembled deeply.
"...
good! "
At this moment, no one could see the malicious light in Sheng Xinyi's beautiful eyes in the passenger seat of the car.
Ah!
ridiculous!
Chu Lingjue has never been mentally ill. He has always been normal. He always pesters Gu Xiwan purely because he has lingering feelings for Gu Xiwan, and her wife is just a decoration. Although Chu Lingjue is always there every night. He sleeps in the same bedroom as her, but Chu Lingjue sleeps on the floor by himself every night and has never slept in the same bed with her...
But Sheng Xinyi was not so bold as to tell Zhou Shutong the truth.
Nowadays, Chu Lingjue has no bottom line towards Gu Xiwan.
She must keep Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan away from each other!
In fact, Sheng Xinyi originally planned to poison Gu Xiwan's mother secretly in order to coerce Gu Xiwan to leave Haicheng. However, Ye Ziming, a guy as terrifying as Pluto, was always protecting Gu Xiwan's mother. Sheng Xinyi could not help but Dare to take risks.
But she won't sit still.
Since she could no longer coerce Gu Xiwan to leave Haicheng, she would try her best to get Chu Lingjue to leave Haicheng with her...
She wanted to see how Gu Xiwan would seduce Chu Lingjue after he was in a different place!
…
On the way home, Gu Xiwan was in disbelief.
She was always clutching the box Chu Lingjue gave her in her right hand. When she got home, she said she was going to bed, walked straight into the bedroom and closed the door.
Mu Yunian stood in the living room with worried eyes.
"Wanwan was so unusual today. She didn't say a word on the way home. In the past, she always went to bed after ten o'clock. Now it's only around nine o'clock. She has to go to bed. She is pregnant with the child. Isn’t it because you feel unwell?”
Ye Ziming remained silent, looking in the direction of Gu Xiwan's bedroom sadly.
Mu Yiran gently grabbed Mu Yunian's hand,
"Auntie, don't worry. I just went to the hospital with Wanwan this morning for a check-up. She is in good health and her illness is in my heart."
"Ah? What's wrong with her?" Mu Yunian asked nervously.
Mu Yiran smiled evilly,
"Everyone says that Chu Lingjue has a mental illness. Wanwan had contact with Chu Lingjue today. Maybe she was infected by Chu Lingjue."
…
"Boom!"
After closing the door of the room tightly, Gu Xiwan immediately opened the box Chu Lingjue gave her.
The moment the box was opened, a ray of golden light flashed in front of her eyes. Gu Xiwan thought the box contained gold rings, gold necklaces... and other jewelry, but her heart beat wildly uncontrollably. .
However, upon closer inspection, it turned out that what was in the box was a USB flash drive. She misunderstood it only because the color of the casing was dazzling gold.
She didn’t know that this was a special USB flash drive. The shell and the metal parts inside were all made of pure gold. The entire USB flash drive used more than thirty grams of gold. This gold was enough to make several rings...
Gu Xiwan immediately opened her laptop and inserted the USB flash drive.
This USB flash drive has been named——
"Our memory".
After opening it, there were two folders inside. One of the folders was called "Photos" and the other was called "Videos." Gu Xiwan opened the folder named "Photos" and there were more than two thousand photos in it. .
Gu Xiwan clicked on the first photo, and it turned out that it was her wedding photo with Chu Lingjue.
The next three hundred or so photos are also their wedding photos.
Back then, she and Chu Lingjue took a series of wedding photos before their wedding. The photographer selected dozens of the photos, developed them and made them into a souvenir album. Gu Xiwan could not have imagined that those photos of Chu Lingjue were not developed. All are retained.
Looking at these wedding photos, Gu Xiwan seemed to have returned to the day she took wedding photos with Chu Lingjue. Everything was so clear and vivid, as if Chu Lingjue was by her side and holding her hand at the moment.
Most of the other nearly two thousand photos were of her and Chu Lingjue together, and a small number were of her alone. She didn't even know when some of the photos were taken by Chu Lingjue. .
The videos in the folder named "Videos" were all taken when she and Chu Lingjue were together.
Ever since she decided to draw a clear line with Chu Lingjue, she always wanted to let go of Chu Lingjue, and she always deliberately did not recall the time when they were together. Seeing these photos and videos, those past events seemed to be over. Hysteria surged toward her like a flood from the embankment.
It was also at this moment that she discovered that although she and Chu Lingjue had only been together for less than a year, she and Chu Lingjue had experienced so many good times together...
Gu Xiwan regretted opening the USB flash drive.
Because after seeing these photos and videos, her previous efforts were in vain. She became like when she first separated from Chu Lingjue, always thinking of him inadvertently. No matter where she was or what she was doing, she could not help but think of him. After getting rid of this state of being helpless, all I can think about is him.
Monday.
Gu Xiwan went to work at "Shanrentang" on time as usual.
When she came to the door, Deputy Manager Liu, who was cleaning the steps outside, smiled at her and said,
"Manager, today is really a good day to get started. When I came here about ten minutes ago, our store hadn't opened yet, and there were more than a dozen people waiting at the door to buy medicine. After I opened the door, there were more and more people. More than a dozen people came, and as expected, our turnover today will exceed 1,000 yuan this early in the morning."
Gu Xiwan stood on tiptoes and looked into the "Shanrentang". Sure enough, the medicine hall was extremely lively because there were too many customers to deal with and several employees were extremely busy.
Gu Xiwan smiled.
"They were too busy, so I went in to help sell medicine."
Deputy Manager Liu nodded,
"Well, go ahead. I'll clean up here and come over."
Gu Xiwan didn't notice that there were two white trucks parked in the parking space not far from "Shanrentang". The driver of the vehicle had been observing the movement outside "Shanrentang" with hawk-like eyes.
At this time, the driver of one of the trucks said to the man in the passenger seat,
"The target has appeared, take action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people got out of the car in unison, and skillfully opened the door of the truck compartment. The entire compartment was filled with delicate red roses.
At the same time, two people also opened the compartment of another truck, and there was a whole load of white roses in that truck.
"Miss Gu, please give way."
When this voice sounded behind Gu Xiwan, Gu Xiwan had just walked into the "Shanren Hall". She turned around and saw a man in work clothes walking toward her holding a large cluster of roses. And this man Behind him were three men in identical work clothes, each holding a cluster of roses, each of which consisted of a thousand roses.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xiwan's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Sending you roses." The man said respectfully.
Gu Xiwan shook her head.
"I didn't order the roses. Did you send them to the wrong address?"
"No, this is a big order that our flower shop rarely encounters once a year. We can't get the address wrong. This is 'Shanrentang'. Your name is Gu Xiwan, right?" The man He said as he walked forward.
Gu Xiwan had no choice but to give up.
However, I was even more confused,
“Who placed the order?”
The man smiled and said, "Of course I am your lover."
Her lover...
Gu Xiwan instantly understood that it was Ye Ziming who was responsible!
Although she didn't want Ye Ziming to be like this, however, since Ye Ziming had already spent the money, she couldn't let it go to waste, so she arranged for the four people to place the roses in an empty space in the medicine hall.
Four large clusters of roses, two thousand white roses and two thousand red roses each, were all just picked in the rose garden. They were delicate and enchanting, and the medicine hall was suddenly filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Gu Xiwan walked forward, picked out a red rose from a cluster, put it to her nose and smelled it, a satisfied smile appeared on Qing Ling's face.
In fact, she quite likes roses.
And these flowers are so bright, it can be seen that each one is carefully selected. When she sees the master, she must thank him.
"Miss Gu, are these flowers also placed here?"
When Gu Xiwan was admiring flowers, a man's voice came from behind her.
She looked back in surprise and found that the four flower senders had each returned holding a large cluster of roses.
Gu Xiwan was shocked. She pointed at the four big clusters of roses on the ground.
"I thought that was all...there are already a lot of these, why are there still more? How many have my master ordered?"
The man smiled and said,
"That's a lot. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the biggest order our store has received all year long... Haha, I'll put it for you wherever I can."
After the four people put down the roses, they left in an orderly manner; a moment later, each returned to the store holding a large cluster of roses...
again and again……
Gu Xiwan was stunned on the spot.
Several clerks and more than 20 customers also stared blankly at this surprising scene.
Four staff members came in and out. When they delivered all the two carts of roses into the store, roses were everywhere on the four walls of the medicine hall, on the window sills, next to the medicine shelves, and next to the table...it was refreshing. The fragrant fragrance flows in the air.
Han Minmin, the "King of Gossip" in the store, came behind Gu Xiwan and said with a flattering face,
"Manager, your husband seems quite aloof. I didn't expect that he is actually quite romantic. Not to mention how much it costs him to have so many roses. This ostentation is enough to win the heart of any girl. I guess you You must feel like you are surrounded by happiness now, don’t you?”
Gu Xiwan curled up the corners of her mouth dryly,
"A little bit."
"Oh? A little?" At this time, Deputy Manager Liu came up and said,
"Is it really a little bit? Why do I feel that someone's happiness is overwhelming? Do you feel it?"
"Yes! The manager is too reserved."
"I'm so envious. I want roses too, and I want a husband who is willing to give me a house full of roses..."
Several shop assistants started making noises, and even some customers started talking about it.
At this time, a man who had just delivered roses came to Gu Xiwan, bowed deeply to Gu Xiwan, and said respectfully,
"Ms. Gu, your lover has entrusted me to send you flowers and then I will express my deep love to you."
Everyone else fell silent.
"..." Gu Xiwan's cheeks turned red,
"You tell me."
The man took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at the words on the note, and said loudly,
"Gu Xiwan, I love you, I give you 300,000 roses, each petal represents my love for you——
Your lover, Chu Lingjue! "
Gu Xiwan seemed to be petrified, and her originally rosy face turned pale.
Chu Lingjue!
Usually, for a married woman, when others call her "lover", she refers to her husband. Therefore, when the man who gave her flowers said that the person who gave her flowers was her "lover", she naturally thought It's Ye Ziming.
Only then did she realize that the "lover" who gave her flowers was not her husband, but Chu Lingjue!
Several clerks, including Manager Liu, stared at him with big eyes.
"Cough! Cough!" Han Minmin cleared his throat.
"Manager, I'm sorry, I just talked too much. I didn't know that the person who gave you flowers was not your husband, but your lover...
well!
what to do? It's really...the more it's drawn, the darker it gets. Forget it, I'll just dodge! "
Han Minmin ran away in a hurry.
The other clerks all looked at him strangely.
The corners of Gu Xiwan's mouth twitched.
Up to now, the aftermath of Chu Lingjue's incident of harassing her in her office has not dissipated. Today, he unexpectedly sent her flowers and expressed his love to her in such a big way...
Oh my God!
Did Chu Lingjue want to kill her?
How will she face her colleagues in the future?
…
At this moment, a sky blue Lamborghini was parked on the street opposite "Shanrentang". The man sitting in the middle row of the car was Chu Lingjue——
He held the telescope in his hand, and the lens of the telescope was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass of "Shanrentang". He could clearly see every detail on Gu Xiwan's face.
"Ye Di, don't you think your behavior is not fair enough?" Qin Yueying's voice came from the cockpit of the car.
Chu Lingjue,
"Which behavior? Give her flowers or spy on her?"
Qin Yueying shook her head, "As someone else's husband, I don't think it's appropriate for you to send flowers to someone else's wife and ask someone to confess to her affectionately; not to mention hiding here to spy on her...
Therefore, no matter what your behavior is, I think it is not fair enough! "
"Oh?" Chu Lingjue smiled instead of getting angry.
"This is also a result of love. As long as it can save her, it doesn't hurt to use some less than fair means."
Qin Yueying couldn't believe what she heard,
"Ye Di, are you awake? Do you know what you are doing?"
Chu Lingjue raised his eyebrows proudly, "I am very awake, and I know very well what I am doing - I am occupying her heart step by step."
"This..." Qin Yueying was at a loss and said solemnly,
"Ye Di, please think about the problem rationally. You have a wife, and Wanwan...not only is she married, but she is also pregnant with her husband's child. She will be pregnant in ten months. If nothing happens, she will be pregnant again. She will give birth to the child in a few months, and they will become a happy family of three. Even if you are ruthless to Miss Sheng, you should not be a third party to destroy a happy family."
Chu Lingjue nodded,
"Well, you have a point."
Qin Yueying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Chu Lingjue said again,
"So, time is running out. I must make her fall in love with me again before she gives birth to a child. This time, I want both her and the child!"
Qin Yueying almost vomited blood.
However, in the next second, he realized that Chu Lingjue was so abnormal because his condition had become more serious, and he said pitifully,
"Ye Di, you promised the old lady that you would see a psychiatrist. I happen to know such a doctor. She has cured many people with psychological problems. Shall I take you to her now?"
Something strange flashed across Chu Lingjue's ice-crystal eyes, and he finally said,
"Just go!"
…
Gu Xiwan's store was overflowing with "flowers". Gu Xiwan asked employees who wanted flowers to take as many as they could, and the rest were placed outside the store and sold at a low price of three flowers for one yuan.
Even so, when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, there were still tens of thousands of flowers that had not been sold. Gu Xiwan was reluctant to throw them away, so she could only ask the clerks to move the flowers back to the store and figure out how to deal with them tomorrow.
I'll be off work in about ten minutes.
At this time, Gu Xiwan's cell phone buzzed and vibrated.
She picked up the call from an unknown number, and immediately heard a cold female voice in her ears,
"You promised me that you would help me. I need your help now. Can you help me?"
Gu Xiwan recognized the voice of another of Ye Ziming's disciples, and Ye Ziming's other disciple had no name, only a nickname——
Xiaoqi!
"certainly!
If you want me to help you, just tell me! "Gu Xiwan agreed without hesitation.
