The two faced each other, and Rong Shan shrank his neck unconsciously.
"You gave the information to Ji Huaiyu and the others, right?" Gu Shen's tone was not a question, but a very calm statement.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because... because that's what you... you deserve." Rong Shan pinched his thigh to make himself look calmer. But the small and weak voice still revealed that she was afraid of the man in front of her, even though he no longer threatened her.
"Do I deserve it?" Gu Shen smiled.
"No one in the medical industry has made a mistake. Am I unwilling to compensate? It's because they took advantage of it!" Gu Shen lowered his voice and looked a little crazy.
"You...you knew there were problems with some of the equipment, but you still sold it for money." Rong Shan didn't look into his eyes when he said this.
"Rongshan, you know all this, why did you wait until now to report me? Do you think you are not guilty?"
Gu Shen's words touched Rong Shan's mind. She...she knew, but she did nothing.
Seeing Rong Shan shaken, Gu Shen knew that his words still had an effect. He smiled, and his voice became low and somewhat demagogic.
"Rongshan, if I go to hell, you should accompany me. Aren't you just like me now? You appear to be a good person and are respected and admired by them, but half of their pain is caused by you, Rongshan. Fir.”
Rong Shan was stunned, looking a little dazed. However, the next second, she looked at Gu Shen, causing the latter to shrink his pupils.
"Gu Shen, you are right." Rong Shan's eyes were slightly red.
"But, I'm not you. If I had sent this information out from the beginning, without Ji Huaiyu's help, I might not have been able to send it out. But fortunately, I finally sent it out, and no one will do it because of you. I am guilty, and I will redeem myself in another way instead of going to hell with you, which is not worth it, because..."
Rong Shan's eyes became firm, "You! You don't deserve it!"
Gu Shen's pupils moved slightly, he couldn't believe that Rong Shan, who was cowardly and had no opinion, and who took him as the main priority in everything, would actually say such a thing.
But he forgot that this was how Rong Shan looked when he first got her.
"I will never come to see you again. You will stay in your final destination until you die!"
"Rongshan, you..."
Rong Shan stopped listening to Gu Shen's words and hung up the phone first. Without looking at Gu Shen's face full of disbelief, he picked up his bag and turned around to go out.
Her back was straightened, but a tear rolled out of the corner of her eye the moment she turned around. She raised her hand and wiped it away, as if she had completely erased the failed marriage and painful time.
The sun shone warmly on her body. She took a deep breath. She hadn't felt the changes in Xi Ji for a long time.
As for Ji Huaiyu, after Gu Shen was taken away by the police, he handed over the matter to Ye Qi and Qi Le and returned to the manor. The three of them maintain online contact, so even if he is abroad, he still knows everything about domestic affairs.
"Rong Shan hopes that we will no longer target Gu and her children. Do you want to stop?"
"Take it, but be careful and prepare yourself mentally for Rong Shan in advance. If Gu Xing and the others make any small moves, we will not show mercy."
"Yes." Qi Le agreed.
Ji Huaiyu wanted to say something else, but the sound of footsteps came from outside. Ji Huaiyu looked over and met a pair of smart and innocent eyes. Ji Huaiyu waved to her, and after saying a few words to Qi Le, he hung up the phone.
"Are you awake?" Ji Huaiyu held Ye Qingning on his lap and rubbed her hair.
Ye Qingning nestled in her arms obediently and nodded.
"Are you hungry?"
Ye Qingning shook his head.
It has been a month since Ji Huaiyu came back, and Ye Qingning is slowly getting better, but for some reason, he has been unable to speak, and even his courage is much weaker than before. Except for the old man and Ji Huaiyu who can make Ye Qingning calm down, even When Fang Yue comes to give her physical therapy, Ji Huaiyu needs to be present to allow Fang Yue to get close.
According to Fang Yue's words, Ye Qingning turned on his defense mechanism and had extremely low trust in people.
"Grandpa is playing chess in the courtyard, do you want to go find him?" Ji Huaiyu hooked her finger.
Ye Qingning blinked his eyes and nodded. Recently, she also likes this kind of activity that only requires the use of her brain and no need to speak. Sometimes she can quietly accompany the old man to play chess for an afternoon, and she is more focused than the old man playing.
But the old man was quite happy. After all, he was the only one in this huge manor on weekdays. At most, he could chat with Fang Yue. But Fang Yue is a medical fanatic and knows nothing about other things. The old man often can only sit alone in the courtyard and play chess with himself.
"Girl, are you awake?" The old man waved to her, and Ye Qingning immediately let go of Ji Huaiyu's hand and sat across from the old man.
"Little chess fan." Since Ye Qingning came, the smile on the old man's face has become much brighter.
"The chessboard has been arranged for you. Yesterday you didn't win a single game. How many games do you plan to lose to me today?"
Mr. Ji's words made Ye Qingning puff up his cheeks.
"I will definitely win today." Ye Qingning gestured. At the end, Momo made a sign of "one", which made the old man very amused.
"Okay, let's see if the girl can win a game today."
The old man asked Ye Qingning to get off first, while he slowly picked up the tea cup, but he had already reached the bottom.
"Huaiyu."
"Yes." Ji Huaiyu, who had been standing aside for a long time, finally remembered.
The old man opened the lid of the tea, and Ji Huaiyu understood it. He took the tea set into the room, and when he came out again, there was tea in both hands.
Although Ye Qingning couldn't speak, he seemed to have more time to think, and his whole person became more peaceful and calm. Not only did she have more time to practice violin, but she also tried many new instruments and new things under the leadership of Ji Huaiyu.
Later, Ye Qingning gradually became able to speak some words. Ji Huaiyu asked Lillian and Leo to come as guests, and occasionally asked Tang Tang and Ye An to talk to her on the phone. Although Ye Qingning listened quietly most of the time, she could feel that she was in a good mood.
After seeing that Ye Qingning could communicate normally with familiar people, Ji Huaiyu took her outside. There are not many people near the manor, which is the most suitable destination for Ye Qingning's first trip out in the past six months.
She was scared at first. When she saw someone, she pulled the corner of Ji Huaiyu's clothes, shaking so much that she couldn't speak. Ji Huaiyu felt distressed and wanted to put the plan on hold for a while, but the next day Ye Qingning came to Ji Huaiyu himself and wanted to go out with him.
With her company day after day, Ye Qingning gradually became able to go out alone. Later, Ji Huaiyu signed her up for various competitions. Slowly, Ye Qingning became more and more confident, and his temperament became more elegant and gentle.
Soon, a year passed. There are three major events this year, one is that Ye An and Tang Tang won the Olympic Games championship and runner-up, one is that the college entrance examination is coming, and the other is that Ye An and Ye Qingning's 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is about to be held.
