Chapter 1044: Such a blessing should be taken back
Hearing Shi Ye's gentle voice in her ear, Gu Jinlan cried even harder.
She was indeed tired and wanted to let go of everything, enjoy Shi Ye's care, and be a happy waste.
But now, she can't let go of Si Mo.
She shook her head and wiped her tears onto Shi Ye's chest.
"No, I can't just ignore Si Mo, I have to go find him."
Shi Ye said: "Lanlan, listen to me, Shi Mufan can be trusted."
Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and looked at Shi Ye's eyes that were faintly shining in the dark light, "Why did you suddenly change your opinion of him?"
Before, Aye didn’t trust Shi Mufan.
On the contrary, she felt that she could give Shi Mufan some time.
Because the day Shi Mufan came to Zhao's house to find her, she saw Shi Mufan's sincerity.
The reason why she is unwilling to wait any longer is because something has happened to Si Mo. She can't wait any longer and no longer believes in Shi Mufan.
Shi Ye said: "I contacted Shi Mufan when I first arrived, and he said he rescued a friend of yours."
Gu Jinlan was surprised and quickly left Shi Ye's arms and turned on the bedroom light.
The room became brighter, and she turned around and asked Shi Ye excitedly, "Is that person called He Feng?"
"I don't know. He said that the man was shot and is still unconscious. He doesn't know the man's identity. He only knows that he is your partner who is covering for you. When the man wakes up and is no longer in danger of death, he will arrange to send the man here."
As he was talking, Shi Ye suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, he sent me a photo an hour ago."
Gu Jinlan urged: "Hurry up and show it!"
Shi Ye quickly took out his cell phone, clicked on the photo sent by Shi Mufan and handed it to Gu Jinlan.
Gu Jinlan recognized the person lying on the bed as He Feng, and a surprised smile appeared on his face, "It's really He Feng! He was the one who covered for Zhao Laoer and I to leave. We thought he was dead."
Shi Ye nodded. "Then it seems that we can really trust Shi Mufan again. This shouldn't be a trap. If it was a trap, he should have asked us to pick up He Feng instead of arranging for someone to send He Feng to me."
"It's not a trap." Gu Jinlan said firmly, "He did help me."
Shi Ye looked puzzled.
Gu Jinlan continued, "Although He Feng helped us delay our escape, he alone could not stop so many security guards. Later, I heard the sound of gunfire, and I thought it was Elder Chen's people who came to help. Now it seems that since your father... Shi Mufan saved He Feng, he must have helped me."
Shi Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you trust him, can you give him some more time? Don't act rashly alone."
"I..." Gu Jinlan hesitated to speak.
Seeing that she still couldn't let go of Si Mo, Shi Ye took another step back, "Then I won't force you to return to China, but you can't drive me away. Let me stay here and help you deal with these problems. I'll contact Shi Mufan later. Let me communicate with him first."
Gu Jinlan looked at Shi Ye hesitantly, "Aye, you shouldn't have gotten involved. They are your parents after all. It would be too cruel for you to accompany me to deal with this."
She would never be soft-hearted towards Yan Yi, so she didn't want Shi Ye to witness everything.
Even though Shi Ye said that he had no feelings for Yan Yi, they were mother and son after all.
The family affection engraved in DNA is something Shi Ye cannot choose or escape from.
Shi Ye's brows sank: "If you say that again, I will be angry! It is true that they gave birth to me, but in my heart, you, Ranran, and grandma are the real relatives in my life!
You shouldn't think that you are the one who dragged me into this. Since I am related to them by blood, then their actions are naturally related to me.
They owe you, and I owe you as well.
Anyway, I can’t stay out of it!”
Looking at Shi Ye's anxious expression, Gu Jinlan nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Shi Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go over there." Gu Jinlan raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Do I look like I've been crying?"
Shi Ye shook his head, and the gentle smile on his face seemed helpless.
He reached out and gently pinched Gu Jinlan's red nose, "You, when can you stop being so stubborn? They are your brothers and your trusted friends. You don't have to pretend to be like this in front of them."
"I just didn't want them to see that I cried."
Gu Jinlan is used to facing everyone with an indestructible side.
This wasn't a disguise for her.
It's a kind of protection for herself.
It really can't be changed in a short period of time.
Gu Jinlan pushed Shi Ye’s hand away, and the tip of her nose became even redder after being pinched by Shi Ye.
Shi Ye looked at her red nose and couldn't help laughing, "Then you said your nose was uncomfortable."
Gu Jinlan sniffed and said seriously, "Okay!"
"Let's go." Shi Ye smiled and took Gu Jinlan's hand.
Her stubborn look made him feel helpless.
But also very cute.
The two returned to the garden.
The lights in the garden were dim, and Gu Jinlan's face was in the shadow of the lights, so it was hard to tell that she had been crying.
But Zhao Jingchuan immediately noticed the front of Shi Ye's shirt, "Aye, why are your clothes wet?"
Shi Ye looked down and found that his chest was wet with Gu Jinlan's tears.
A smile slid across his lips, "It got wet just now when I was in the bathroom."
"How can washing hands get your chest wet?" Zhao Jingchuan felt strange.
Did Shi Ye wash his hands and wipe them on his chest?
Shi Ye quickly said: "I also washed my face."
Zhao Jingchuan wanted to say something, but Matt suddenly raised his glass to him: "Mr. Zhao San, I toast you. Congratulations on becoming a father."
Zhao Jingchuan lowered his eyes slightly, and placed his fingers on the edge of the wine glass, but did not pick it up. "How did you know? Did Luo Xi tell you?"
“…” Matt was stunned.
"I told Matt." Gu Jinlan said quickly, "Such good news, of course I have to share it with my good friends."
Zhao Jingchuan then raised his glass and clinked it with Matt. "Thank you. I also wish you and your girlfriend a happy marriage soon. I think her name is Meijia, right? You two seem to be a good match. The baby you will have in the future will probably be very beautiful."
Matt nearly spit out his drink.
-_-||It’s better to take back such a blessing.
Gu Jinlan saw Matt's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile. She turned around and was about to talk to Zhao Jinheng about He Feng, but she saw Zhao Jinheng looking at her with gentle eyes.
When their eyes met, Zhao Jinheng quickly dodged and reached out to get some water to drink, but was suddenly slapped on the back of his hand by Zhao Jinchen.
Zhao Jinchen said: "This is my wine. You are injured, so don't try to drink it secretly."
"You took the wrong one." Zhao Jinheng smiled, turned to pick up his own water cup, lowered his head to drink water, and continued to avoid Gu Jinlan's gaze.
