was Shen Ningran's first time here, and with her understated attire, the waiter instinctively stood by Guan Xin Yue and her group."Two ladies, please pay first. We don't offer credit here."The server'...Seeing Shen Ningran's indifference, Lin Yiwu continued to plead, "Sister Ningran, please forgive me. I really know I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, I won't dare again."
Lin Yiwei cried pitifully, but she couldn't elicit even a sliver of sympathy from Shen Ningran.
"I drugged you, set you up to be raped, and then apologized afterwards. Will you forgive me"
Shen Ningran looked at Lin Yiwu, this sentence was also asking Gu Gengting.
What kind of moral kidnapping is this.
Lin Yiwei choked back tears, "But...but Sister Ranran, aren't you fine We can still find a way to resolve this, can't you forgive me this once"
"I'm fine because I was lucky, it doesn't mean you haven't done this."
Shen Ningran's voice was cold and thin.
Gu Gengting's face was also very bad.
He knew that this was Lin Yimi's fault, but he still couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
"Shen Ningran, if you want to let someone off the hook, let them go. What are your demands Just say them. As long as I can do it, I will. Just be willing to let go of this once."
"You're defending her so much, even though she was clearly in the wrong." Shen Ningran asked lightly.
Gu Gengting glanced at Lin Yimi, who was crying pitifully. In the end, he was the one who had spoiled his grown-up daughter. "Yimi is my daughter, of course I have to protect her."
Shen Ningran looked at Gu Gengting, and for some reason, when she heard this sentence, she only felt a tightness in her chest.
She mumbled unconsciously, "But she's just your adopted daughter."
"So what, I've already treated her like my own daughter. You don't need to say any more. With me here today, she, you all can't touch her. If you have any demands, just get on with it."
Lin Yiwei, listening to Gu Gengting's defense of her like this, felt as if she had swallowed a reassurance pill. She hid behind Gu Gengting, gratefully calling out, "Dad..."
Shen Ningran looked at the deep affection between them, father and daughter. For some reason, she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Lin Yiwei bit her lip hard, wiping away her tears and said: "Dad, thank you for protecting me. But I know I did something wrong this time. I will definitely find my own way to get Sister Ranran to forgive me."
After finishing her words, Lin Yiwu turned and ran away.
Gu Gengting looked at Lin Yimi's retreating figure with some worry. At this moment, Gong Shulan walked out from inside.
"What are you all doing out here"
"Mom."
Gong Shulan glanced at Gu Gengting, her expression cold. Her gaze lingered on him for only a moment before she withdrew it.
Gu Gengting thought about Mo Zhouyan, who he had just met. He still felt a knot in his chest.
Palace Shu Lan glanced at Shen Ning Ran and Bo Jin Yu, "You two go in first, I have something to say to him."
"Mom..."
"Come on in, I'm fine."
Gong Shulan looked at Gu Gengting, her brow furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with extreme coldness. When this emotion fell on Gu Gengting's eyes, he only felt that she must loathe him intensely.
Such a gaze pierced Gu Gengting's heart painfully.
"Why would Mo Zhouyan come looking for you Don't you have anything to say about that"
What should I say Have I even been given the freedom to see people anymore
"Gong Shulan, it's been almost thirty years, you still haven't let go of him"
Palace Shu Lan pursed her lips, lifting her eyes to look at Gu Geng Ting, "Indeed, never forgetting. When you forcibly separated us back then, you should have known that there will always be someone living in my heart, and that person will never be you, Gu Geng Ting."
"Creak." Gu Gengting clenched his fist, listening to Gong Shulan's words, a nameless anger surged in Gu Gengting's heart.
"Even if I made mistakes back then, these years I've done everything in my power to make amends."
"Is that so" Gong Shulan shook her head, smiling wryly. "Gu Gengting, that's only what you think is compensation."
He was good to her, she didn't deny it.
But he is also very good to Pei Zhen and her daughter.
Gong Shulan pursed her lips and shifted her gaze elsewhere. "I promised not to divorce, you go back to City A, take your mother and daughter with you."
"Is that all you want Don't you want to see me"
"I don't want my daughter to get hurt, are you blind Don't you see that Lin Yimi likes the man that Ranran likes, isn't it enough for you to put Pei Zhen between us, do you also have to let Lin Yimi be around Ranran"
Gu Gengting looked at Gong Shulan, only feeling that Gong Shulan was urging him to go back now, just so she could stay here and rekindle her old love affair with her former lover.
Thinking about it, Gu Gengting's anger in his eyes was almost impossible to contain.
"Are you kicking me out so you can stay here with Shen Ningran Is that really all there is to it If I leave, will you and Mo Zhouyan rekindle your old flame"
Palace Shu Lan immediately frowned, her cold eyes meeting Gu Geng Ting's.
Suddenly, a chill ran through the air.
Palace Shu Lan's eyes were filled with biting sarcasm.
If she didn't know that angering this man wouldn't be good for her, she would have said hurtful things without restraint.
After so many years of marriage, to reach this point is truly ironic.
Palace Shu Lan averted her eyes, unwilling to look at him. "It's simply impossible to communicate."
Gu Gengting walked closer to her, "You can't communicate with me, but you happily communicate with Mo Zhouyan, right"
Gū Shǔlán retreated two steps, only to be pulled back by Gù Géngtíng's arm.
Gong Shulan was completely infuriated, "Gu Gengting, are you getting older and more paranoid"
Gu Gengting's eyes were filled with rage. "You tried to leave me time and time again, all because you wanted to be with him. So this divorce... is it also related to him Have you two been in contact already"
"Let go."
"Speak."
"Let go of me!"
Gong Shulan struggled to free her hands, but eventually gave up. She raised her head and glared angrily at Gu Gengting.
Yes, that's right.
Gu Gengting narrowed his eyes fiercely.
"Do you hear what you want to hear Are you satisfied" Gong Shulan was also stirred by his agitated emotions.
"Mom!" Shen Ningran quickly ran out from inside. "Let go of my mom."
"Get out of here." Gu Gengting swatted Shen Ningran away.
Bo Jin Yu watched this scene and strode forward, throwing a punch at Gu Geng Ting. Gu Geng Ting dodged, naturally releasing Gong Shu Lan's arm.
"Mom, are you alright" Shen Ningran looked at Gong Shulan's pale face with concern.
Palace Shu Lan shook her head, "It's nothing."
Bo Jin's cold eyes looked at Gu Gengting, "Isn't it inappropriate to hit your own woman"
Shen Ningran narrowed her eyes and glared at Gu Gengting, "Gu Gengting, you hit my mom!"
Bo Jinyu pulled Shen Ningran back, who was rushing forward with anger, "Calm down."
Gū Shūlán rubbed her arms, "Rǎnrǎn, I'm fine."
Gu Gengting looked at Gong Shulan's unsightly face, and now regretted his impulsiveness just now.
"Alan..."
At this moment, Gu Gengting's phone rang urgently. Gu Gengting frowned and impatiently answered the call.
The moment the call was answered, Pei Zhen's painful cries for help came through.complaint."The manager dared not have people complain. Seeing that the two women were still there, he could only say stiffly, “Misses, I apologize for any offense.”Four security guards immediately ste...
