Chapter 1395 Grief and Indignation 4Qi Lei had never seen Gu Lingsha so upset and anxious before.

Without waiting for Qi Lei’s reply, she followed him into the car after forcing Qi Weier in. “Please take me to the police station. Please!”

Qi Lei and Zhou Zimo were in a daze after hearing her pitiful pleading.

This woman had always maintained her poise and elegance just like her mother, Doris. However, right now, she was upset and not her usual self. Doris’s incident must have hit her hard. Her bright blue eyes that resembled her mother were clouded with concern.

Qi Lei seemed conflicted. He glanced at her before turning to look at Zhou Zimo beside him.

Zhou Zimo frowned and contemplated for a moment. He then answered, “Forget it. Let’s go. It’s on the way anyway. Send Assistant Xu back first.”

Upon hearing that, Qi Lei nodded and started the car without saying anything.

Gu Lingsha let out a sigh of relief. Her teary eyes were still a little red and swollen. After learning what happened to Doris, she could not sit still. She bought a plane ticket and flew straight to City Z. During the journey, she could not control her tears. She finally started to feel the discomfort in her eyes now.

The cell phone that Gu Lingsha had just turned on started vibrating shortly after the car started. She glanced at the screen to see that it was a call from Qi Feng.

Her eyes became cold and she took a deep breath. She did not answer the call and immediately put her phone on silent.

Along the way, they did not speak much. The atmosphere in the car was depressing. In the front, Zhou Zimo greeted Qi Lei, but everyone else was silent.

Xu Yayan’s home was near the city center, so Qi Lei stopped the car on the side of the road.

“Take a break for the next two days and return to work next Monday,” Zhou Zimo turned and said to Xu Yayan.

“Yes, Mr. Zhou! Here’s the complete information on the company,” Xu Yayan said, handing Zhou Zimo a black briefcase which the latter quickly took.

It was late, and Xu Yayan was a family man, so naturally, Zhou Zimo was understanding and empathetic towards his subordinate.

After Xu Yayan got out of the car, they continued their journey.

Gu Lingsha looked at Qi Lei who had been driving intently in front of her. Her lips trembled and she was trying to say something, but she stayed silent after struggling for a while.

The car finally stopped in front of Imperial Sky Entertainment City.

“Alright. Send her there first and I’ll wait for you inside.” Zhou Zimo pointed at the side of the road ahead and motioned Qi Lei to drop him off.

Zhou Zimo had actually been observing Gu Lingsha and Qi Lei along the way. Gu Lingsha looked somewhat pitiful while Qi Lei was just cold.

“I know that you both had a connection before. You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. She’s still your sister-in-law, so please be cautious. The call just now was probably from Qi Feng, but she didn’t answer it. You should just be more careful,” Zimo leaned over and said when he saw Qi Lei’s troubled expression.

Qi Lei finally loosened up a little. He glanced at Zhou Zimo and saw him nodding encouragingly, then he slowly pulled the car over.

“Okay, I’m going in. Come here as soon as possible! I’ll wait for you!” Zhou Zimo responded and shot Gu Lingsha a vague glance before getting out of the car.

Qi Lei continued driving while Zhou Zimo watched the car gradually disappear from his sight. He shook his head helplessly, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.

The car continued to speed down the road. The atmosphere in the car felt even more depressing now that even little Qi Weier could feel that something was wrong in the car. She looked at Qi Lei, then turned to look at Gu Lingsha again. She clenched her clothes with her little hands, and her blue eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.

Qi Lei inadvertently glanced in the car mirror and caught Qi Weier’s anxious expression. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to turn on the radio. The joyful tunes of Christmas carols broke the air.

Qi Weier listened for a while and slowly felt more relaxed. Soon, the tension in the car seemed to ease a little as well.

“Qi Lei, about my mother…” Gu Lingsha started tearing up again.

Qi Lei looked gloomy. While he calmly looked at the bright road ahead of him, he said, “She kidnapped me and Ah Mo, locked us up for a month, and then held Mu Lingshi captive. If it wasn’t for the police and their quick actions, Mu Lingshi might be the one dead instead. I think Qi Feng probably told you about this.”

As Gu Lingsha listened, she could feel her eyes burning, but she seemed to have no more tears left to cry. She suddenly did not know what else she could say.

“My mother did this to save my father. I still can’t accept the fact that Lingtian and Mu Lingshi are my brother and sister. Lei, would you be able to accept it if it were you?” Gu Lingsha sounded lonely and bitter.

“Even if I don’t want to accept it, what else can I say? At least, before this, you were so much happier than me. I won’t hold you accountable for this. I also hope that this will pass and nothing will happen again. Lingsha, you’re smart and you should be able to understand what I mean. You have chosen Qi Feng, so just stay by his side. You should always be able to stand firm as the head of the Qi family. Don’t think too much. Perhaps contentment in life will make you happier.” Qi Lei never wanted to tell her that much, but now that he actually said those words so calmly, he was surprised by his own composure.

Gu Lingsha did not utter a word while her eyes still burned. She lowered her head and listened quietly.

“Shasha, we are actually in a similar situation, but you are luckier than me. You have enjoyed at least decades of love and warmth from your family, but I…have nothing…I don’t mind suffering if it is worth it.”

“Isn’t Aunt Wang also having trouble with Uncle Qi because of Qi Kai? Lei, you’re actually mad as well, aren’t you?” Gu Lingsha refuted after hearing Qi Lei’s words.

“I admit that my mother wants Qi Kai too, but she has never thought of killing Qi Feng. You also need to know that Qi Kai is all of my mother’s hard work and assets. It was Qi Qiming who tried to take it away from her first.”
