Chapter 676: That Person Died Here
This time, Li Beinian slept more soundly than before.
However, she still felt a certain void, and woke up again not long after.
But this time, Mu Xichen was beside her.
She could clearly hear the man’s breathing, and the warmth of his body enveloped her.
Li Beinian closed her eyes and felt the man’s breathing beside her. Her heart felt as though it was coated by a layer of sweet honey.
But at the same time, she had great clarity.
She couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Whatever Lin Ya wanted, he’d resort to unscrupulous means to get.
Li Beinian’s eyelashes fluttered and her eyes snapped open.
She looked up at the man sleeping soundly right before her and thought of what Lin Ya had said in the dream. “That person died here.”
That person died for her, but in the end, she no idea who the ‘him’ that Lin Ya mentioned was.
Her heart felt as though it was being crushed as she closed her eyes.
She definitely must not let Lin Ya harm them again.
Old Master Mo was in Guang City for a few days, and throughout this time, Li Beinian had postponed all her plans to focus on keeping the old man company.
However, Mu Xichen’s sullenness was similar to Old Master Mo’s. The old man did not show any goodwill, which made Li Beinian a little nervous.
Old Master Mo and Old Master Li were like-minded people. It had been another day of chess games. Li Beinian obediently and quietly watched from the side. Occasionally, she played with her phone and topped up tea for the old men.
It wasn’t much different from when she was with her grandpa. It was just that with Old Mr. Mo around, Li Beinian was more restrained.
Mu Xichen took Mo Shengxing to the office to take a look and find out what the former had been doing in the past few years.
This trip lasted for a few days.
On the fifth day, Mo Shengyun suddenly called Li Beinian. She was in tears.
Li Beinian picked up the phone and was taken aback to hear the girl crying.
After excusing herself, Li Beinian walked out with her phone.
Mo Shengyun was crying very loudly. She seemed to be in an empty space as Li Beinian could hear the echoes around her.
“Sister-in-law, have you seen Gu Mingye in the last few days? Is he dead? His phone has been turned off and he hasn’t replied to any messages. His WeChat appears to have died with him. Where exactly has he gone!”
“Uh...” Li Beinian hesitated.
Gu Mingye had not turned on his phone for the past few days, but he had been in contact with Mu Xichen.
Li Beinian knew that he was avoiding Mo Shengyun, but she did not expect him to make such a complete disappearance.
Given Li Beinian’s response, Mo Shengyun immediately asked, “Do you know where he is? Sister-in-law, can you tell me? The bastard... sob, sob, sob!”
“Don’t cry.” Li Beinian was in a conundrum. “Maybe he’s just busy.”
“What is he busy with!” Mo Shengyun was getting worked up. “No matter how busy he is, he should at send me a message. Is it that difficult to just leave a few words?”
Li Beinian was silent.
Suddenly, she remembered something she had read a long time ago: Men tend to display cold violence towards girls as a way to initiate a break up.
They would cast the girl aside and ignore her. After some time, the girl would get the message.
Gu Mingye was using this method now.
However, was this really Gu Mingye’s intention?
He ought to really like Mo Shengyun.
How could he bear to break up with her...
Li Beinian didn’t know what the obstacles they might be facing, but she liked both of them very much and didn’t wish to see them in a situation where things couldn’t be resolved.
Seeing that Li Beinian was silent, Mo Shengyun asked, “Sister-in-law, do you know something about this?”
Li Beinian did not respond.
Mo Shengyun continued, “I know what he means, but I also know the reason. Sister-in-law, can you tell me? Where exactly is he?”
“Sister-in-law, I can’t take it anymore. I want to see him, and clarify things! I will not break up with him. Besides, it’s not that my grandpa doesn’t like him. He just thinks that his fate in life is bad. As long as we prove it to him, everything can be resolved.” As she spoke, Mo Shengyun became increasingly upset. “Really, the issues are easy to resolve... I’m so sad. Sister-in-law, can you help me tell him? Tell him... tell him that I’m sick and have a fever and refuse to take medicine. Let him come and see me, alright?”
Li Beinian was silent for a long time before saying, “I’ll try.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” Mo Shengyun smiled through her tears. “I’ll leave it to you then!”
After hanging up, Li Beinian opened WeChat and called Gu Mingye’s alternate number.
The other party picked up quickly and seemed to be busy. It was a little noisy in the background, but Gu Mingye’s voice was particularly clear. “Sister-in-law.”
Li Beinian heard Gu Mingye’s voice and felt a little displeased. “Do you know that Shengyun has a fever?”
“What?” Gu Mingye raised his voice slightly. “Why did she suddenly have a fever? She’s always been in good health!”
“Ha, look at what you’ve done recently. Shengyun is a girl. How could she not have a fever after being played out by you?” Li Beinian said as if it was true. “If I hadn’t called her, I wouldn’t have known that she had a fever. I’m accompanying Grandpa now. Go and see her and buy some medicine for her on the way.”
Gu Mingye seemed a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, he said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll buy some medicine. Can you send it over?”
“I don’t have time.” Li Beinian refused without thinking. “I still have work to do and it’s almost time for dinner. I have to help. Grandpa will be returning to Tongzhou tomorrow. I have to accompany him.”
“But...”
“That’s your girlfriend. Shengyun cried after speaking just a few words. She cried so badly that I can’t stop worrying about her. You’re her man. Is it too much to just go and take a look?”
“Don’t speak nonsense.” Gu Mingye immediately retorted. “I’m not her man.” His voice softened and lowered gradually, sounding inexplicably lonely. “She will have another man in the future.”
“That’s none of my business. Right now you’re her man. So if she catches a cold or has a fever, you have to accompany her.” After a pause, she continued, “Besides, even if you are no longer together, do you think Shengyun will go out with someone else? Who are you trying to kid?”
Gu Mingye fell silent.
“Anyway, you should go quickly. Although Shengyun is a doctor herself, a doctor can’t treat herself and her emotions are unstable. If you go too late, it will be difficult to get rid of the fever.”
Gu Mingye did not know how much truth there was to Li Beinian’s words.
However, after hearing about Mo Shengyun’s situation, Gu Mingye was thrown into a confusion.
After sorting out the meeting documents, he postponed the meeting, then picked up his car keys and left.
He drove to the area where Mo Shengyun lived. Gu Mingye hesitated for a while before driving in.
The security officer recognized the man and greeted him warmly before letting him in.
