Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Shen Qianshu was shocked. She smiled slightly, took the fruit juice on the table, and drank it. Little CEO Li could not read her expression too and decided to tell her about the gossip he recently heard. “I have heard rumors of Ye Ling being gay long ago. His lover is Master Qian. Someone saw Ye Ling and Master Qian being passionate with each other in the underground casino before. They were hugging and kissing each other. This rumor is most definitely true, and even though there were no videos being leaked, many of my friends were in the casino that day. All of them witnessed it. Ye Ling did not reject Master Qian’s intimacy too. I only regarded it as a joke back then, but a few days before…”

He paused and looked at Shen Qianshu as if he was scared to hurt her.

“Continue!” Shen Qianshu said.

“I heard that Master Qian went to the casino all by himself just to seek justice for Ye Ling. There were rumors that Ye Ling’s death had something to do with Ghost City, but there’s no one in this whole city that dares to go to Ghost City to seek justice for Ye Ling, Shushu. In this whole city, there’s no one, and no one dares too. Mu Yuan and Ye Ling have a close relationship, and after Ye Ling was dead, the Mu Family was in charge of investigating. However, there’s no definite conclusion in the end. Do you think that this is a coincidence?”

“I can understand why the Mu Family is not interfering with this,” Shen Qianshu said.

A family like theirs was not suitable to participate in any kind of feud. They could not offend both the underground and legal side in order to survive and progress in society. This involved the entire family’s interests.

“If he’s not Ye Ling’s lover, why would he barge into Ghost City all by himself for Ye Ling? I heard that he got shot too and almost lost his life. Qianshu, his lover is not you. You’re just used as a pretext.”

“Pretext?”

“Yes, you’re just a pretext he needs. He does not truly love you, so you don’t need to be trapped in his death. You should walk out of this, live a new life, and not feel devastated because of Ye Ling.”

Shen Qianshu took a deep breath and held back the pain in her heart.

A sentence from little CEO Li’s speech touched a raw nerve in her heart.

After Ye Ling’s death, no one in this city except for her made a move to barge into Ghost City.

No one dared to have a one-on-one with Ghost City directly.

“Little CEO Li, thanks for your concern,” Shen Qianshu said and smiled. “His lover, no matter who it is, is not important. What’s important is that I love him. A one-sided love is also a kind of love. Do you believe that there are people who are in an unrequited love forever?”

“Why are you so foolish?”

“I once had it. Only after losing it did I understand the beauty of our love. There will never be anyone like Ye Ling who will give me such a feeling. Thus, I rather not have it.”

When Shen Qianshu returned to the castle, it was already 10 pm.

She knew that Zhong Ran had been assigning someone to follow her and that he knew her whereabouts too. She did not mind at all. When Ye Ling used to assign someone to protect her in the past, she would feel restrained. Now, she was already used to it.

Ye Tingyun came too. He was together with Ye Yifan and Tong Hua in the living room, seemingly talking about something. His expression was slightly solemn.

“Sis-in-law!”

The two of them greeted her at the same time and were really respectful to her.

Shen Qianshu smiled, walked over, and sat beside Tong Hua. “What are you guys talking about?”

“Talking about the issue of the inheritance of assets. Grandmother is more old-fashioned, and she wants to file a lawsuit. I’m discussing with Yifan and Tong Hua right now on how to solve this issue,” Ye Tingyun said.

“A lawsuit?” Shen Qianshu asked. “We have the certification of kinship and also the will. Why do we have to go to court? What are their chances of winning?”

Ye Tingyun briefly closed his eyes and said, “Grandma has something on big brother in her hands. If we really go to court, we might not necessarily win.”

“What does she have on him?”

“His illness. If Grandma brings out evidence of big brother’s mental illness, this will might not be recognized by law.”
