It was hard to coax Gu Yi Ze to sleep, Su Qing Lan washed her face and went to the surveillance room with a gloomy expression, "Call me the surveillance in the small area today."

The person in the security room was a bit hesitant, "Miss Su, I'm afraid that's not appropriate, transferring the surveillance requires permission from the higher-ups."

"Do you want me to call Gu Jinchi on the phone right now so he can tell you himself?" She was in a bad mood right now and didn't want to come around.

Who in the Gu family didn't know that Gu Jinchi stayed in the imperial capital for her and even doted on her.

After wiping his cold sweat, the security guard hurriedly pulled up all the surveillance images from the neighborhood today and showed them to her.

Coincidentally, Gu Yize had an extra cake box in his hand from the moment he appeared on camera.

Gu Lan had skillfully utilized the dead space of the surveillance so that her figure did not appear in the surveillance.

Even the surveillance cameras captured her going out in plain clothes, not the dress with lace sleeves that Gu Yize said she was wearing.

"Cut these clips out for me."

After leaving a few snippets that might be useful, she left in a grave mood.

As it was, the only thing left to prove Gu Lan's guilt was the cake itself.

Luckily, she didn't just throw the cake away, but promptly had Annian take it away for testing.

The results of the test, however, sent a chill down her spine.

Not only were there no fingerprints on the cake box, even the box belonged to a dessert store, and it wasn't even the one Gu Lan had used before.

The cake was filled with cyanide. Cyanide. It only takes a little bit to be life-threatening.

All the clues could only point to the cake store, which did not have the slightest relationship with Gu Lan, and even An Nian had conducted an investigation, and the owner of the dessert store did not have any interactions with Gu Lan.

That is, Gu Lan skillfully used a box from somewhere else to poison the mother and son duo.

Perhaps because her heart was palpitating, Su Qinglan sat there, her hand on the desktop shaking uncontrollably.

All that air coming at her from all directions just made her feel cold.

"Madam, this matter ......" An Nian looked at her soulful appearance, could not help but open his mouth to try to persuade something.

But he was interrupted by Su Qinglan.

Her gaze fluttered, even her voice was soft, "You were there when I called Gu Jinchi, was it Gu Lan who went to him that day."

After a moment's hesitation, Anian nodded, he couldn't hide it, "Yes."

"What's her relationship with Gu Jinchi?" Su Qinglan took a deep breath to steady herself.

Anian also told the truth.

"Counting the relationship between Miss Gu and Mr. Gu is already three generations away, Miss Gu is considered to be Mr. Gu's ...... cousin, but many people with the surname Gu in this generation are already not counted as relatives, so there are intraclan intermarriages."

"Ms. Gu's parents both wanted her to marry Mr. Gu, and have had their eyes on this since she was a child."

"When Mr. Gu was a young boy, he had a traffic accident, it was a trip out with Ms. Gu, and that was the time ...... Ms. Gu's parents passed away in order to protect the two of them ...... "

Since then, Gu Lan grew up in Gu Jin Chi's house, more like a childhood friend.

When she grew up, although Gu Lan took the initiative to move back, the distance was not drawn, and only after Gu Jinchi left for China was she separated.

After listening to their long and short story, Su Qinglan leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Long lashes fluttered and she smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

No wonder, Gu Lan hated her as she should, if it wasn't for her appearance, perhaps Gu Lan would have become Mrs. Gu as a matter of course.

That's why Gu Jinchi had put his trust in the woman who had saved his life.

Thinks she won't harm them.

Su Qinglan was like this, An Nian was also a bit unable to look at her, "But don't worry, ma'am, Mr. Gu's heart has always been in your body."

"For Ms. Gu, it's just the same as the feelings between brother and sister."

She listened quietly, propping her hand on the desktop, "Actually, my concern was never that he had another woman around him, and how many women in the empire moved towards him."

"But I never worried."

"I do believe in him, but what disappoints me about this one is that this one almost involved our mother and son's lives."

"Does he think that the two lives owed to Gu Lan's parents can be offset with my mother and son's lives?!"

Words were hard to hear, but that was all she could understand.

Because she was the woman who saved his life, he was able to cast a wide net when it came to this matter of human life.

"Madam, I'm sure Mr. Gu doesn't think that way." An Nian advised from the side with a heavy heart.

This matter, not to mention Su Qinglan, even his heart was a bit unfavorable.

If she is not resourceful, I am afraid that ...... Gu Jinchi will go crazy.

"How can I know what he's thinking." Su Qinglan snorted, "Saying more than that coming to a place like this is all my fault."

She hadn't realized that a one-night stand at the time would turn into what it was today.

"Why don't ...... you and I go see Mr. Gu for a while." Right now, this was the only thing that could ease the relationship between the two of them.

Misunderstandings should always be cleared up.

Su Qinglan didn't refuse, she also badly needed to go and see Gu Jinchi for a while, she wanted to ask him in person just what position he put her and Gu Yi Ze's lives in!

When she arrived at the hospital and saw Gu Jinchi's tired appearance, the anger in her heart burned even more complicated.

"Let's talk."

Seeing her sit down, Annian had the good sense to go out and stand guard.

Gu Jinchi raised his head and looked at her, vaguely able to see the tear stains of her crying, and his heart was vaguely gripped and hurt for a moment.

"Don't worry, I won't let that happen again."

There was so much he wanted to say, but what he could get out of his mouth paled in comparison.

This rhetoric of promising significance had already made Su Qinglan feel numb, "Jin Chi, we've been together for no more or less time, and we've sort of been born to die."

"I didn't think that when confronted with something like this, you'd be the first to take the side of a woman I haven't said anything to yet."

Her heart began to ache vaguely again.

Gu Jinchi froze, then frowned and looked at her, "Qinglan, don't misunderstand, her situation is very complicated, there's no way I can explain it clearly to you in a moment."

"It's not complicated, it's the daughter of the person who saved your life." Su Qinglan looked at him woodenly, the crown of her teeth clenched.

"I am supposed to join you in thanking your savior, but not with this life of mine."

These words were like an invisible blade, stabbing Gu Jinchi also made her heart ache like a knife.

Gu Jinchi's pupils trembled slightly, and he simply let out a long breath and lowered his head, understanding what Anian must have said.

"Things aren't only as simple as Anian says."

"Ever since that accident, Gu Lan has suffered from a mental illness, sometimes normal and sometimes doing things to hurt herself and others, and during the onset of the illness, she has no control over herself."

The more she listened to him go on, the sadder Su Qinglan's heart became, and she couldn't help but speak in a mocking tone, "So people with mental illnesses are able to be exempted from crimes?"

"Maybe I can accept it if she comes and steals from me openly, but I can't understand such dirty tricks, and I'm not that generous."

"All the things that happened to me I can tolerate, but what about Ze, must you want him to be a child to lose his trust in the world?!"

Gu Yize was only five years old, and how much he had suffered after them.

Kidnappings, illnesses, and now life-threatening things have happened from people close to them.

Erhu is not a mandatory lesson, seeing Gu Yize sleeping all tense and terrified.

"You weren't the one who watched Ze cry and gasp for air, so you can easily say something like that."

This was the first time she was disappointed in Gu Jinchi.

Gu Jinchi's brows were furrowed, and he had also fallen into a great tangle, "Qinglan, this matter is my fault, I didn't protect you guys well."

"I won't leave her behind to threaten Zee when she's this sick, the only time I want you to be patient."

"Good." Surprisingly, she agreed readily.

The word almost came out of her mouth, after hearing so much and thinking so much, she had already figured out what she would hear Gu Jinchi say in the future.

Su Qinglan stood up and didn't even leave a single superfluous glance, "Then please keep an eye on your childhood friend, if you hurt Xiao Ze again, I'll die with her."

As a mother, she can't get any sand in her eyes.

This was her last warning against Gu Jinchi's compassion.

Since she was able to get Su Cheng to go to jail, a mental patient is just a mental patient, even if she is a member of the Gu family, she has to find a way to keep her away from Xiao Ze.

When she got back, she watched Ze's sleeping face for a long time, and the more she watched, the more she liked it.

Anything, he was the one who would sustain her faith in the future.

Fortunately, the next day Gu Yize woke up still in good spirits, not the slightest bit frightened by yesterday's events, jumping up and down and getting into the car.

"Mommy, will you always take me to kindergarten from now on?"

He sat in the car, relying on Su Qinglan's lap, coveting the time he spent with the beautiful mommy of his heart, and spilling his guts in a rare moment.

Su Qinglan smiled and rubbed his head, "When there's time, mommy will come with you."

In the future, you can't neglect a bit even when you are at home.

A moment on the short journey, Su Qinglan inadvertently sidled her head and saw another face that made her sweat.

That's ...... Milan.

There's no mistaking it, not just Feng Qin, but even Milan has come to K.

Recalling Milan's once hideous face, Su Qinglan was just a moment of fear, and her breath caught a little sharper.

Zee was lying on her lap and easily noticed something unusual and hurriedly and nervously climbed up and asked, "Mommy, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

Su Qinglan nodded obediently, her face showing exhaustion, "Xiao Ze, mommy isn't feeling too well today, or else you won't go to kindergarten today, is it okay to stay at home with mommy?"

After a brief moment of consideration, Gu Yi Ze immediately nodded vigorously, "I'm already a man, I can take care of mommy!"

While Feng Qin shows up at the hospital, Milan throws his weight around at Ozawa's school, and his heart is in the right place.
