Chapter 492 Father-in-law (1/2)

The Ge family also lived in a villa, but it was a bit lower in grade than the Bai family’s manor villa. It was at most a garden villa.

The one who came out to welcome Bai Qingfeng and Song Yun into the house was the butler who delivered the invitations.

The butler is Chinese and has worked as a servant in the Ge family for dozens of years. He came from Beijing and Hong Kong City, and from Hong Kong City to China. Now he has become the head butler and has a lot of face in front of his master.

Bai Qingfeng himself recognized this Butler Liu. It was this Butler Liu who helped Young Master Ge deal with the Bai family members when the Bai family was in trouble. He still remembered the contemptuous and mocking look in Butler Liu's eyes at that time.

At this time, Butler Liu was very respectful to him, as if what had happened before no longer existed.

Haha, some people are really born to be dogs.

Bai Qingfeng himself would not bother with a dog, so he walked into the villa calmly.

A man in his early forties came to greet Bai Qingfeng the moment he entered the villa, "Brother-in-law is here, hurry up, we're waiting for you to start the meal."

Bai Qingfeng wasn't here for a feast. He stopped and looked at the smiling Ge Tianci with a cold expression. "You said on the invitation that your father-in-law was seriously ill. I'm here to visit him. Lead the way."

Seeing that he didn't give him any face, Ge Tianci laughed dryly twice, "Brother-in-law, there's no rush to visit father. I specially invited a French chef to our house. The ingredients are all the freshest. Let's not talk about it until we eat."

Bai Qingfeng stood still. "I told you, I'm here to see my father-in-law. If you want me to see him, lead the way. If you don't want me to see him, I'll leave now."

Annoyance flashed in Ge Tianci's eyes, and his tone was tempered. "I never thought that my brother-in-law, who everyone praised for his broad-mindedness, would be such a petty person. So many days have passed since that incident, and my brother-in-law is still angry? Do you want our entire Ge family to die to atone for this? I don't remember what I did to deserve the death penalty. I'm a businessman, just doing what a businessman should do. My brother-in-law is also a businessman, so can't you understand me?"

Bai Qingfeng curled his lips, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "I think you understand. Business is business. So I didn't retaliate against you, right? Since we're not talking about business, then don't bother with the benefits. Don't talk business when you're in a position of advantage, and then play the emotional card when you're not. You're the one who gets all the benefits. You're so shameless."

Ge Tianci was so embarrassed by Bai Qingfeng's criticism that he got red in the face. If it were in the past, he would not have been able to bear it and would have lost his temper long ago. But now the Ge family is in trouble and he needs help from Bai Qingfeng, so he has to endure it even if he doesn't want to.

Seeing Bai Qingfeng was about to leave, Ge Tianci had no choice but to compromise and take Bai Qingfeng to the room on the second floor to see Grandpa Ge.

Mr. Ge was lying on the bed, sleeping under the quilt, and Mrs. Ge was sitting beside the bed, apparently taking care of him.

Bai Qingfeng walked to the bedside and took a few glances before he realized that the old man was pretending to sleep. Even a layman like him could tell that the old man was not only pretending to sleep, but also pretending to be sick.

Judging from his complexion and physique, how can he look like a seriously ill person?

After all, he was his father-in-law, and he had been nice to him in the past. Bai Qingfeng still considered his feelings and did not directly expose the old man's feigning illness and sleeping. He only asked calmly, "What disease did your father-in-law have?"

Ge Tianci and Mr. Ge exchanged glances, and the performance began.

Ge Tianci opened the show with a long sigh, and Old Lady Ge took out a handkerchief to press her eyes at the right moment, looking very sad.

"My dad wasn't feeling well a few months ago, and he didn't let me tell my sister or you because he was afraid you'd worry."

Old Lady Ge took over the conversation, choking up as she said, "Especially in the past couple of months, his health has been getting worse. He's always talking about Meilin, sometimes even calling her name in his dreams. That's why we ignored his wishes and called you over."

Bai Qingfeng watched them perform silently. When the two of them had almost finished, he spoke, "You keep saying that the old man misses Meilin and wants to see her. But since I entered the Ge family, whether it's Ge Tianci or you, Madam Ge, has anyone ever asked why Meilin didn't come? Has anyone ever asked if Meilin is okay now?"

The two men's faces froze, and they were shocked to realize that they really had not asked, or even thought about it. After all, their target today was Bai Qingfeng, and it didn't matter whether Ge Meilin came or not.

Besides, they knew that Ge Meilin was not in Country Y and it was impossible for her to come.
