Chapter 1164

When Ruthia came to the surface of the sea and found that Gu Haoran was gone, she was heartbroken, slapped the sea water with her hands, and cried out heartbreakingly——

"Husband, Haoran! Husband..."

However, where there is Gu Haoran's shadow, where there is an echo, all she hears is the ruthless "crashing" sound of the waves.

"Hao Ran! Hao Ran..."

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and Ruthia's painful cry was blowing far away like a tsunami.

The wind is howling, the waves are surging, and Ruthia's cry is sad and desolate——

"Hao Ran! Come back! Come back!"

"Hao Ran, I love you! Don't leave me! Don't..."

"Hao Ran, Hao Ran..."

Not far away, a fishing boat with colorful sails was overturned in the waves. A person on board found the yacht and shouted: "Captain Mark, look!"

Captain Mark walked out of the cabin, squinted at the yacht, and smiled, "Hey, can you still meet rich people at this time?"

"Do you want to go up?"

"Come on! See what good things are on board."

...

Jiangshan Island.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" In the evening, Chu Qiyun got out of the carriage with a small schoolbag on her back, and shouted as soon as she entered the Duke's mansion.

When Chu Lei heard her voice, a happy smile appeared on his serious face, he put down the carving knife in his hand, and walked out the door.

"Grandpa!" Chu Qiyun wore a long floral skirt, flowing like a beautiful butterfly, "Grandpa!"

"Ding Dong." Chu Lei replied.

"Grandpa, I got 100 points in the exam today." Chu Qiyun happily took off her schoolbag and took out a math test paper from it, "Look at it."

Chu Lei took it and looked at her seriously, then patted her head happily, "Yes, the girl will have a bright future."

"Thank you, grandpa, for your praise."

Chu Qiyun smiled happily, took his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and said with concern, "Grandpa, don't work so hard to carve wood in the future, it seems that you have two more calluses on your hands, good Hard."

"It's okay, girl, grandpa will be too free if he doesn't do these things."

"You can go fishing at the beach."

"Hahaha..." Chu Lei laughed heartily, "Do we need grandpa to catch fish if we want to eat fish? The fishermen can't finish eating what they bring over every day."

"I don't want you to go out for a walk." Chu Qiyun stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then she stared at Chu Lei with sparkling eyes and said, "Grandpa, Aunt Xinyan and the other two Aunts Shao will be late." Come over for dinner."

"Well, I see." Chu Lei led her into the living room, and then handed the test paper to her, "Go do your homework, your aunt will come when you finish."

"it is good."

An hour later, another carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion.

The curtain was lifted, and Gu Xinyan got out of the car with her skirt in her hand. When she reached for her bag, she suddenly saw two women standing under a tree not far away, one of whom was the Duchess.

Gu Xinyan pulled down the shawl on her shoulders, took her bag, and walked over with a smile, "Hello, madam."

"Hello!" Duchess Carmanti bowed slightly towards Gu Xinyan.

She is a beautiful Asian-European warm-blooded woman with black hair and blue eyes, fair skin, wearing a long European-style skirt, gentle and restrained.

"Are you alright?"

Gu Xinyan knew that she had been living outside and was not even allowed to enter the Duke's Mansion. Sometimes she wanted to see Chu Lei, so she had to stand here for a day.

"I haven't seen Mr. Duke for a month. Today I personally made mushroom and pheasant soup, and I want to try it for Mr.." After finishing speaking, Kamanti sneered at the maid behind her.

The maid came up carefully, and respectfully handed over the food box in her hand to Gu Xinyan.

Since the school was established on the island, Gu Xinyan and the others have lived in the Duke's Mansion since they came here. This is the generous treatment Chu Lei gave them, and it is also enviable.

Looking at the delicately woven food box, Gu Xinyan froze for a moment, but still took it.

"Madam, you can actually go in and give it to the island owner yourself, why haven't you fought for it?"

It has been half a year since I came here, and Gu Xinyan sympathizes with the island owner's wife very much.

In a marriage life in name only, the wife is like an ancient concubine who was cast into the cold palace, unable to even see her husband.

"He doesn't want to disturb his tranquility." Kamanti lowered her head slightly and said softly.

"No, the island owner actually loves life very much, and he also likes lively events. It's just that you two don't know each other well now. If you are bold and get in touch with him more, maybe you can change this situation." Gu Xinyan encouraged her.

Kamanti's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she raised her head, with a gleam of excitement shining on her face, "Can I really get in touch with him more?"

"Okay, how about you come in with me now?" Gu Xinyan pointed to the door.

Kamanti twisted the silk handkerchief in her hands nervously, staring at the vermilion gate in panic, hesitated for a long time, before she nodded, "Okay."

When the three women walked to the gate, the housekeeper Andro suddenly came over. Seeing Kamanti, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Madam, please stay."

Kamanti immediately took a step back, looking at Gu Xinyan at a loss.

Gu Xinyan saw that she was so pitiful, so she helped to intercede, "Andro, let Madam go in and meet the island owner, she hasn't seen the island owner for more than a month."

"I'm sorry, Madam can't step into the house without the order of the lord." Andro said helplessly.

"Why, they are husband and wife."

"Miss, don't say this in front of the lord." Andro glanced at Kamanti, then dragged Gu Xinyan's hand into the door, and said in a low voice, "the lord has a woman he likes in his heart." , he does not recognize Kamandi's identity."

Gu Xinyan sighed lightly...

Isn't Xia Yanni the "woman" in Sir Alex's heart?

This paranoid man!

Helpless, Gu Xinyan wanted to comfort Kamanti a few words, but when she turned around, she found that Kamanti had left with her maid. That slender back was so lonely and sad, which inexplicably made Gu Xinyan feel sore .

Seeing that Kamanti was gone, Gu Xinyan left the door with the food box. Not long after she left, Shao Kexin and Shao Lanlan also came to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage after finishing their work at the school.

After getting off the carriage, Shao Kexin saw that Shao Lanlan was still turning her head to look behind her, and asked puzzledly, "Who are you looking at?"

"Look at the Duchess." Shao Lanlan smiled faintly.

"She is coming?"

"I don't know, I saw her walking towards the beach."

As soon as she had finished speaking, a guard with guns came running hastily, took a look at them, and entered the gate, muttering something to the guard inside.

Shao Lanlan was curious, walked over and asked, "What happened?"

The guard knew that these three women were the teachers here and they were also distinguished guests in the Lord's mansion, so they respectfully replied: "The fishing boat that went out to sea today rescued a woman and came back."

"woman?"

"Yes, very young."

"Where is she from?"

The guard shook his head, "I don't know, she is very beautiful, but she has been unconscious all the time, we want to ask the Sir if we want to send her to the plantation."

When Ling Kexin heard this, she frowned. She knew that stowaways from outside would usually be sent to work in plantations when they came to Jiangshan Island. If they were found to be smugglers, they might be thrown into the sea to feed sharks.

Thinking of this, Ling Kexin immediately said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Kexin!" At this moment, Gu Xinyan stood at the end of the corridor and called her.
