Loved by billions: Warm married wife is a bit sweet

Chapter 171 The unbearable weight of life

In fact, the psychological torture was far more painful for her than the harsh environment.

  She was indeed not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Thinking of the long list of assets under her name, her heart sank heavily.

Gu Tingshen once told her that the assets transferred to her name were all his own personal assets, and had nothing to do with the Gu Group, or even the entire Gu family.

But with such a huge asset, are the methods he acquired really legal?

Jiang Xiqian was not sure.

She knew that he had worked on Wall Street for ten years before returning to China. During those ten years, what happened that allowed him to earn wealth that others could not earn in a few lifetimes?
  She has heard of many famous geniuses on Wall Street, including those who were famous many years ago, but she has never heard of Gu Tingshen.

If there are really a lot of illegal sources of his income, once it is verified, what will be waiting for him?
Will he be sent to an international court and wait for the rest of his life in prison, or will he be sentenced to death because the amount of the crime involved is too large?
Or, as Gu Tingye said, to Gu Tingshen, she was just a pawn from beginning to end, a pawn he used as a shield.

Thinking of all these possibilities, Jiang Xiqian's hands and feet gradually became cold.

  No matter what the truth is, all this is the weight of her life that she cannot bear.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she cared about him far beyond her own imagination.

That's why he subconsciously wanted to hide him, and didn't even want to mention his name in front of the police, so he only asked Li Yao to go to a lawyer.

No matter how much he lied to herself, even at this point, besides hoping that it was just a nightmare, she just prayed that he was safe.

After an unknown amount of time, the policewoman saw that Jiang Xiqian still had no intention of speaking, so she was thrown into a small dark room.

There is no light in the dark room, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers.

It was already night, no doubt, Jiang Xiqian groped around and confirmed that there was only a small iron bed in the dark room, and there was no quilt on the bed.

Jiang Xiqian sat on the small bed with her arms folded, feeling extremely cold.

On a late autumn night, the four walls and the ground were constantly emitting air-conditioning. She was cold and hungry, and felt like a little match girl at the moment.

Oh no!
She is not as good as the little girl who sells matches. After all, they still have matches to keep warm. She has nothing but hunger, cold and fear.

  I don't know how long it has passed, Jiang Xiqian was half asleep and half awake in a daze, as if he heard the sound of 'bang bang bang dang' an iron door.

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the wooden door of the dark room, and thought to herself, could it be that this is going to be interrogated in the middle of the night?

Ten seconds later, the door of the darkroom was pushed open, and a little bit of faint light came in from the aisle, Jiang Xiqian squinted subconsciously.

Afterwards, she stared at the tall man walking in from outside the door, as if he was carrying the cold outside, his whole body exuded a cold aura.

Until the person who opened the door left and he knelt down in front of her, Jiang Xiqian still felt that she was dreaming.

She stretched out her cold and stiff thumb and rubbed it on his unshaven chin, tears came out all at once, her voice was so hoarse,

"Gu Tingshen, why are you here? If all this needs to be endured by one person, I would rather that person be me, so let's go!"

She didn't trust him enough to find him guilty.

But even so, she didn't blame him, didn't blame him for putting her in such an embarrassing and difficult situation, instead she wanted to take the blame for him.

Gu Ting took off his coat and put it on her body, then hugged her tightly into his arms, as if wanting to melt her into his flesh and blood, "Xiqian, I'm sorry, it's okay, I'll take you back."

When Gu Tingshen carried Jiang Xiqian out, lawyer Tang Hexuan had already completed the formalities and followed Gu Tingshen to the outside of the police station.

Jiang Xi nestled in Gu Ting's deep arms, looking at the sky showing white, the whole person was still in a trance, feeling that all this was not real. 
Walking out of the gate of the police station, a group of reporters appeared out of nowhere, perhaps squatting here overnight, all of them with panda eyes, grabbed their cameras and rushed over to take pictures.

  Tang Hexuan grabbed the camera of the reporter at the front, and warned with a serious face, "If any of you dare to leak any news about today's incident, I, Tang Hexuan, will sue your family for ruin!"

When all the reporters heard Tang Hexuan's name, they looked like eggplants beaten by frost, and all of them retracted their cameras dejectedly.

Even if they haven't seen Gu Tingshen in front of them, looking at the whole Yuncheng, who hasn't heard of Tang Hexuan's name?

He was an influential figure in the legal and political circles. He had been in the industry for more than ten years, and he had handled countless major and important cases, but he had never failed. Abbreviated version.

They are just small reporters, and there's no need to fight someone like Tang Hexuan for a piece of news that is speculative.

  Gu Tingshen carried Jiang Xiqian into the car, and Tang Hexuan sat in the driver's seat and drove.

After a long silence, when Jiang Xiqian fell asleep leaning against Gu Ting's deep arms, Tang Hexuan asked, "Do you need to investigate who is behind the scenes?"

"No need." Gu Ting's brows were furrowed deeply, and his thin lips parted slightly, showing an unspeakable forbearance.

Tang Hexuan nodded heavily, "Indeed, even if you go to investigate, you probably won't be able to find out the results. A so-called report call does not have much clue value. It's just that the manipulator behind the scenes has acted too hastily and exposed those reporters. Let it go, thinking that by blowing things up, the fisherman will benefit."

Gu Ting's deep thin lips were tightly pursed, and a hostility lingered between his brows.

One day, he will get back this sum of money with interest!

Tang Hexuan took a deep look at Gu Ting through the rearview mirror, and reminded, "But you have to pay attention, since this person thought of attacking Miss Jiang, I'm afraid there will be similar tricks in the future."

Gu Ting lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing, the girl's slightly pale face was reflected in the dark eyes.

  In fact, Jiang Xiqian has been sleeping uneasy all the time. The deep sense of fear and the deep impression of being hungry and cold made her shiver from time to time in her sleep, and even let out broken murmurs.

  Gu Ting held her in his arms very anxiously, hating himself for not being able to suffer for her.

  Tang Hexuan sent him and Jiang Xiqian directly to a seaside villa with an excellent environment, and then drove away.

  Gu Ting carried her into the villa just as Pei Ying came out of the kitchen.

  Gu Tingshen seldom came to live in this villa, and did not hire anyone. Only Jinshuiwan's housekeeper, Pei Ying, occasionally came to clean and repair the flowers and plants.

 Pei Ying just happened to come over last night, and was going to finish his meal early this morning, tidy up the branches for the blooming flowers in the yard, and take a look at the growth of the vegetables he planted here last time.

 Unexpectedly, I bumped into the third young master coming over with Miss Jiang in his arms.

 This broke him unexpectedly.

 Gu Ting didn't sleep all night, his face couldn't hide his tiredness, his eyes were black and blue, and his chin was also unshaven. 
After the accident, Pei Ying looked at him very distressed, and then at Jiang Xiqian in his arms, "Third young master, this is Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

 "It's okay." Gu Ting's voice was dry and hoarse, he glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"

 Pei Ying didn't know they were coming, so she only cooked her own breakfast, which was finished by now, but since the third young master asked, he definitely couldn't say no.

So, Pei Ying walked towards the kitchen and said, "Yes, yes, I'll cook it right away. I happened to bring a lot of food last night. Don't worry, it will be ready soon."

Gu Ting nodded deeply to Pei Ying, and carried Jiang Xiqian upstairs.

Entering the bedroom, he carefully put Jiang Xiqian on the bed. Gu Tingshen knelt on one knee beside the bed, bent down and touched Jiang Xiqian's forehead. Maybe it was just coming in from the outside, and his forehead was a little cold.

The moment he withdrew his hand, Jiang Xiqian suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his big palm.

Gu Ting's heart moved deeply, and his deep eyes met her loving eyes like a deer, "Xiqian, are you awake?"

Jiang Xiqian still looked confused, "Where is this? Am I not in the small black room of the police station? Why are you here?"

Last night, she was hungry and scared, and was almost frozen to death. She was confused and had a strange dream. She dreamed that Gu Ting was so cold that she wanted to take her home
and many more!

Jiang Xiqian looked at the dark circles under Gu Tingshen's eyelids and the new green stubble on his chin, and his mind was half awake in an instant.

Could it be that she was dreaming at that time, that Gu Tingshen really fished her out of the police station?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xiqian sat up from the bed all of a sudden, perhaps because she just woke up and her voice was hoarse.
"Gu Tingshen, what's going on here? Are you looking for a lawyer to release me on bail? Do I need to wait to go to court? The public prosecution agency will prosecute me, right?"

Gu Tingshen sat down beside her, hugged her into his arms, and said with a sore heart, "Fool, even if it's a court, I should go to court. If the public prosecution agency wants to sue, it's suing me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Xiqian's little fluke mentality collapsed in an instant. He was really involved in economic crimes, and the amount was so huge!

She lay in his arms, where he could not see, she gritted her teeth silently, letting the tears flow freely.

Although they didn't really date each other for a long time, she couldn't breathe because of the heartache when she thought that he would be trapped in a whole body in the future.

His invisible care for her kept replaying in his mind, and the final picture was fixed in him walking towards her in the firelight, saving her from danger, but putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

She had lost too much in her past life, but she didn't want to lose the man in front of her who could risk his life for her.

Gu Ting deeply felt the person in his arms trembling, and quickly pulled her out. Seeing that her face was full of tears, just as she was about to speak, Jiang Xiqian sniffed and opened her mouth first.

"Gu Tingshen, tell me the truth, if you are really prosecuted, what is the most serious consequence?"
