1320 Heartless 5The weather was getting cold as they approached winter, especially towards the end of the year.

Even though City Z did not experience the bitter cold winter like the northern part of the country, after a downpour of cold, quiet rain, the air suddenly felt humid, and cold winds rustled. The chilly wave instantly engulfed the entire city, turning it frigid.

Xi Xiaye did not remember how long she had rested, but it was quite a long time since Mu Yuchen forced her to stay home and rest. After quite a few days of nursing her health back to normal, she felt like she recovered a little bit of energy. Her pale face gradually colored with a faint rosiness too.

During this time, she frequently returned to the Mu family’s old residence and the Shen residence. Of course, everyone seemed to have a mutual understanding of not bringing up Ah Mo’s matter, but you could feel the atmosphere becoming tenser and tenser.

Mu Yuchen left home early and returned late. He had been quite busy with work recently. Sometimes, when he rested at the old Mu residence, he would find himself chatting with Mu Tangchuan till late before going back to his room to rest.

Mu Lingshi’s baby bump was showing more and more. Zhuang Shurong accompanied her for all the checkups. Only after the doctor declared that all was well and that the child was growing fine, everyone felt relieved.

Throughout the whole time, Gu Qiwu had looked for Mu Lingshi once. Of course, this was when they were at Maple Residence.

Mu Lingshi only said a few words to him at the entrance of Maple Residence, and when she came back, she did not look very happy. Xi Xiaye had asked her about it in concern, but Mu Lingshi was not willing to say anything, so she did not ask anymore…

The weather was getting colder, especially after the cold winter rain. The air suddenly became that much more bitterly cold.

In an ancient city near City Z, the scenery in the backyard of a holiday villa was very beautiful. The entire yard was blooming with plum blossoms. The pink petals covered the entire ground, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance of the plum blossoms.

Doris sat on the soft bench at the pavilion. She was focused on putting the plum blossoms she had cut into the vases. Beside her was a huge bunch of the blossoms. Of course, there were also other flowers to decorate with. In her white fox fur overcoat, she looked graceful.

Gu Lingsha stood quietly on the side, watching silently as Doris worked away. Her face that strikingly resembled Doris’s looked gloomy as her red lips were pursed. She opened her mouth slightly as if wanting to say something, yet she dared not make a sound as she was worried that she would disturb her mother’s mood and make her unhappy.

After a while, the big bouquet of flowers in the vase was carefully arranged by Doris who then noticed Gu Lingsha standing by her side. Doris then unhurriedly glanced at her, catching Gu Lingsha’s gaze. Instantly, her eyes turned cold as if she was unhappy with the way she was not meeting her expectations.

“You’ve gone through so much, yet your short temper hasn’t changed a bit. You still get anxious with a little matter like this. Shasha, it seems like you don’t listen to anything I usually teach you.” As Doris looked coldly at her, her tone sounded stern.

Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha was stunned. She tried hard to keep herself calm, but no matter what, she just felt uneasy…

“Mother, I went to look for Father yesterday, but he wouldn’t see me at all. I heard that he’s been looking for his lawyer quite frequently. Do you think he’s thinking of giving Mu Lingshi something?”

“What’s the point of telling me that he won’t see you? Shasha, I really don’t hope to see my daughter turn out to be a useless person. What’s the point of seeing him? Do you think he’ll pity you? Don’t forget your days at the police station. Gu Qiwu and Qi Feng are probably the same type of men. I’m telling you not to care about Gu Qiwu’s matter anymore. Control Qi Feng well. Is it going in one ear and out the other?”

“No, Mother, Qi Feng said that a while back, Gu Qiwu went to look for Mu Lingshi again…”

“So, did he ask you to come to look for me?” Doris’s voice instantly turned cold.

“No, he didn’t, Mother. I’ve come to you myself. Qi Feng’s rarely been talking to me these days, and Weiwei too…” Whenever Weiwei was mentioned, Gu Lingsha had to be careful because Doris had never liked the little girl.

“Huh, I know what he’s thinking! Haven’t I already fulfilled his conditions? Whatever is next depends on him. I don’t have that much time to care. He wants to reap what he hasn’t sown without as much as lifting a finger. Qi Feng thinks he’s too qualified now.”

“Mother, Qi Qiming’s attitude towards Qi Feng is quite odd. They seem to be closer than before, but I do think something’s strange. Right, Ah Feng’s legs have regained senses. Yesterday, I even saw Morrison help him stand up from his wheelchair even though he can’t stand for too long. Professor Terl also mentioned that things are looking up,” Gu Lingsha lowered her voice and said softly.

Upon hearing that, Doris paused. Her cold gaze flickered a little, and she did not say anything. Instead, she continued what she was doing.

Just as the mother and daughter were chatting, on the straight road outside the villa, three black luxury cars were driving in a convoy towards the villa.

In the car, Ah Yong took a look at the holiday villa, then turned to Gu Qiwu who was shutting his eyes to rest. He hesitated, and in the end softly said, “Boss, Boss, we’ve reached the holiday villa!”

When Ah Yong announced that, Gu Qiwu did not react right away. Because Ah Yong thought he did not hear him, he was about to call out again when Gu Qiwu suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

“Boss, that’s the holiday villa up ahead. I heard from the brothers that early this morning, Miss Lingsha rushed over here, so she’s probably still here. Look…” Ah Yong said softly.

Gu Qiwu’s grave and stern face did not reveal any expression, but his heart was filled with clarity. With all the trouble this evil woman had cooked up, he knew that Doris just wanted him to have his hands tied and wait to be captured. Did she want him to concede?

To achieve her goals, she spared no tricks. That was Doris for you!

The annoying thing was that before he had been free of this woman’s black magic, he had been so good to her, but in the end, she still plotted against him and cheated on him. She had not repented either!

After Gu Qiwu had hit her with a vicious slap, she did not even come to a realization. Instead, she became even worse!

When he thought about this, Gu Qiwu’s expression became even gloomier. From where he sat, Ah Yong could feel the coldness from him.

Gu Qiwu turned to look at the scenery out the window as his lukewarm voice rang out, “I’m surprised she could find such a place and sit still. I’ve underestimated her!”
