Cai Buqu also said, âMissy, I canât see through Mr. Gu. Heâs very scheming. You have to be careful.â
Li Xiwu nodded. âI know.â
âAlso,â Cai Buqu deliberately added, âno matter what relationship you had with Mr. Gu in the past, itâs not the past now. Remember to be clear about everything. â
Li Xiwuâs heart warmed. She knew that Old Master Cai was reminding her not to be led by the nose by Gu Lanshi.
âThat Mr. Pei is very good. At least in my opinion, heâs much more reliable than Mr. Gu. But from a certain perspective, you canât completely deny Mr. Gu. If Youyou is really you and Mr. Gu⦠Itâs indeed not easy for Mr. Gu to take care of Youyou alone?â
At this point, Cai Buquâs meaning was clear. Li Xiwu understood what Old Mr. Cai meant. âI know what to do.â
Cai Buqu nodded. âThen Iâll leave first.â
Li Xiwu took a step forward. âIâll see you off.â
Cai Buqu did not refuse. Under Li Xiwuâs escort, he went downstairs and took a car back to Qiang Yue Garden.
After sending Old Master Cai off, Li Xiwu returned to the office. Yuanyuan walked over with a cup of steaming brown sugar water. âMiss Li, your period is coming up. I made you brown sugar water.â
Li Xiwu reached out to take it. âThank you, Yuanyuan.â
Seeing that Li Xiwuâs expression was not very good, Yuanyuan probed, âMiss Li, who is that Old Master Cai?â
Li Xiwu sat down behind the desk with the steaming brown sugar water. âItâs my former butler.â
Yuanyuan recalled Miss Liâs background. It was normal for her to have a butler at home. However, the appearance of this butler seemed to have made Miss Li feel much lower. She wondered what was going on.
After Yuanyuan went out, Li Xiwu was alone in the office.
Li Xiwu drank some brown sugar water. Her entire stomach was warm.
The entire office was silent. Li Xiwu put the brown sugar water aside and turned on her computer. She clicked on Mother-in-Law Joyâs chat, trying to find a screenshot of the netizens in the chat.
She had the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, she really found a screenshot of Youyou from the netizens. There was even a recording.
There were quite a lot of comments.
[Hahaha, I almost thought it was a real baby dragon.]
[Sheâs too cute. I can tell that Li Xiwu really likes her.]
[In my heart, Sister Li and Fourth Brotherâs daughter should look like this.]
[In terms of how it feels to be remembered by everyone when a random passerby appears on screen.]
[Iâve tried using software to test the appearance of future children. I scanned Sister Li and Fourth Brotherâs faces together and found that they actually look 80% like this little girl.]
[Hahaha, Sister Li probably couldnât have given birth to such a similar child herself.]
Li Xiwu slowly scrolled through the comments. Most comments said that the little girl was her daughter in a âjokingâ tone.
No.
It wasnât.
Li Xiwu threw away the mouse and leaned back to calm herself down.
The man who had not appeared on the pleasure boat that day might not be Gu Lanshi, and the Youyou on the pleasure boat should not be Gu Lanshiâs daughter, Youyou.
Or perhapsâ¦
This was just a joke Gu Lanshi had made to Old Master Cai.
However, when Old Master Cai asked her about the relationship between her and Gu Lanshi back then, she couldnât say it at all because she didnât remember. Not remembering could also mean that something had really happened and she didnât know.
Could this be why Pei Jingzhou didnât know that she was pregnant? Could it be that she was pregnant with someone elseâs child back then? No, thatâs not right. If she really gave birth to Gu Lanshiâs daughter, what about Yaoyao? The suspicion of Yaoyaoâs identity seemed to have suddenly become unfounded.
Two children, a boy and a girl.
One was more than four years old, and the other was more than three years old. What was going onâ¦
The mystery was magnified several times in front of Li Xiwu, but she couldnât figure it out.
That day, Gu Lanshi asked her to meet him about her pregnancy back then. It seemed that Gu Lanshi knew far more than she had imagined.
NO!
Instead of letting herself be led by the nose, she might as well take control.
Li Xiwu did not hesitate anymore. She picked up her phone and called Gu Lanshi. After a few seconds, the call was picked up. Li Xiwu went straight to the point. âI want to see you. Do you have time now?
It was quiet on the line. No sound came.
Li Xiwu knew that he was on the phone, so she repeated what she had just said. âGu Lanshi, I want to see you. Do you have time now?
After a moment, Gu Lanshiâs voice came from the receiver. âI wanted to see you last time. I waited for you for a long time, but you didnât come. This time, you want to see me immediately, right?â
Li Xiwu pursed her lips. âSorry.â
âDonât be sorry.â Gu Lanshiâs voice was gentle. âNo one else can, but if you want to see me, of course, you can do it anytime.â
Li Xiwu asked, âWhere are you?
Gu Lanshi said, âIâm at home. You can come over directly.â
Li Xiwu did not reply. She did not know where Gu Lanshiâs house was.
âIâll send you the address, or I can come and pick you up,â Gu Lanshi said on the other end of the line.
âThereâs no need to pick me up,â Li Xiwu said. âSend me the address. Iâll drive straight from the company.â
Gu Lanshi smiled faintly. âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â Just as Li Xiwu was about to hang up, Gu Lanshi asked her again, âWhat do you want to eat? Iâll get Auntie to buy groceries.â
Li Xiwu pressed the phone back to her ear. âSorry, I wonât stay long. I wonât eat dinner.â
Gu Lanshi said, âItâs rare for you to come. I wantâ¦â
Li Xiwu said firmly, âI have something to ask you. Itâs just some questions.â
Gu Lanshi said gently, âAlright, come over then.â
After ending the call, Li Xiwu immediately received a message from Gu Lanshi. It was his address in the capital. She didnât know if it was the Gu family or his personal residence.
âYuanyuan. â
Li Xiwu scooped up her jacket and put it on. She called out to the door.
Yuanyuan pushed open the door and entered. She saw Li Xiwu putting on her clothes. âMiss Li, are you ready to get off work?â
Li Xiwu had already put on her coat. She picked up her bag and walked over. âI have something to do first. Supervise Xue Jinzhu well. Donât let her be lazy in acting class.â
Yuanyuan nodded. âI understand.â
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and lowered her voice to get to the point. âMr. Pei will come and pick me up later. If Mr. Pei sends an assistant to ask you questions, just say that I went to see a producer at the last minute. Iâll rush back to the company in time.â
Yuanyuan was already nervous. âMiss Li, where are you going?
Li Xiwu placed her hand on Yuanyuanâs wrist. âJust steady yourself. Iâll be back as soon as possible.â
Yuanyuan nodded. âThen you must come back early.â
Li Xiwu got out of the parking lot and drove, adjusting the GPS.
It took her thirteen minutes to reach Gu Lanshiâs residence.
Li Xiwu looked up at the neighborhood in front of her and took out her phone to call Gu Lanshi. âIâm here..â
