The old lady glanced at him, then looked at Pei Sui on his right, and after a moment she smiled and nodded, "Since you have a rule, just do whatever you want.

But I remind you, after all, Ah Ci saved you, and now he is still unconscious in the hospital, so you should be careful and behave properly. "

Pei Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will take care of it."

The old lady sighed, her tone regretful, "The Gu family... It's going downhill. After the death of old Gu and Ting Lan, the Gu family lost a main beam and a load-bearing wall. The son was not taught well and was too utilitarian. The daughter-in-law was not chosen well and was too snobbish. The vision of the Gu family is getting narrower and narrower."

The old lady stood up with the help of a cane and waved her hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, everyone has their own destiny.

I am old now, if there is anything, please discuss it with the two of you brothers. In the future, the Pei family will need the support of the three of you brothers and sisters to move forward. As for the Gu family, please be careful when you get along with them in the future. I am going to take a rest now."

After walking two steps, she turned back to look at Cui Xueheng, "You haven't been feeling well lately, come with me and rest."

Cui Xueheng held her breath and didn't move or respond.

Pei Huan saw this, fearing that something might happen again, and quickly took her arm, saying softly, "Mom, let's go. I'll go back to Qinghe Garden with you. I just bought you a gift. Go and see if you like it."

Cui Xueheng looked at her and walked down the stairs anyway, smiling, "You are still filial. I like whatever you give me."

The two chatted and laughed as they left the main hall together.

The sound of conversation gradually faded away, and in an instant, only the brothers Pei Sui and Pei Yu were left in the room.

The two looked at each other, and Pei Sui asked casually, "What did the police say?"

Pei Yu's eyes fell on the wound on his arm. He pulled the corner of his lip, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "The man has been arrested and is being interrogated. I don't think I can get anything out of him. The dogs of the Chu family in Shencheng are all loyal."

Chu family!

Pei Sui frowned, but did not ask about the reasons or any contradictions. He only asked, "Do you think it's a coincidence that Gu Ci appeared on Jiaonan Road?"

"You don't think so?" Pei Yu asked instead of answering.

"I just think... it's such a coincidence."

What a coincidence.

Although Jiaonan Road is well connected with many intersections and is the only way to get to Gu's house, as a lawyer with many years of experience, his intuition tells him that it would be inexplicably strange for Gu Ci to appear there at that time.

After he went to the hospital yesterday afternoon, he remembered what Meng Sheng had told him about "precognitive dreams".

Predict the future.

But are there really such bizarre things in this world?

But speaking of weird...

His eyes flashed, and he remembered the call Meng Sheng called him yesterday afternoon and what happened in the past.

Going back in time, it is easy to find a pattern: it seems that every time she would call to tell him what was going to happen before it happened.

This seems even more mysterious.

But if you follow this line of thought about what Meng Sheng knew, then it couldn't be a coincidence that Gu Ci appeared on Jiaonan Road yesterday afternoon.

Precognitive dreams might really exist.

Before his thoughts were about to completely dissipate, he restrained himself in time and glanced at Pei Yu lightly, "However, this is something you should worry about. If you want to marry, it's you who will do it. It has nothing to do with me."

Tsk tsk, listen to how cold-blooded and heartless these words are.

The relationship between the two brothers is actually pretty good, but they don't really care about each other's affairs.

Especially when it comes to private matters.

Pei Yu sneered, "The Gu family came here for you, I'm just a stepping stone for them."

"That only means their efforts were in vain. You are a useless stepping stone." Pei Sui said indifferently.

Even if that knife was blocked for him, he would not do whatever the Gu family said.

No matter what kind of gift Pei Yu will give later, the Gu family will always suffer a loss.

After all, the physical injuries caused real bleeding and pain.

Pei Yu was almost laughing because of him.

The next morning, the two of them went to the hospital to visit Gu Ci again and prepared another generous gift.

Gu Ci was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up.

Liu Lingyi looked even more haggard than yesterday, and she even had less energy to speak.

"Ah Sui, please tell me what you think. Ah Ci has been unconscious for so long. I am suffering. I can't eat well and I can't sleep. If she knew you were willing to marry her, she would wake up immediately."

Pei Sui frowned, his face slightly gloomy.

There are only two or three sentences, but they are contradictory.

Especially the last sentence clearly implies "moral kidnapping".

If he doesn't agree, will Gu Ci be able to blame him if she doesn't wake up?

He said coldly, "Aunt Liu, I have a girlfriend and I can't marry Gu Ci."

Liu Lingyi was stunned and asked in astonishment, "Girlfriend? When did you have a girlfriend? Why haven't I heard you talk about it? Who is that person? Ah Sui, Ah Ci is your childhood sweetheart, you grew up with her, don't you want to even tell her a lie? Do you really have the heart to treat her like this?"

Pei Yu took over the conversation and said, "Aunt Liu, Ah Sui has nothing to do with this matter. Ah Ci saved me, and I am willing to take on this responsibility. When Ah Ci wakes up, can we take care of the wedding-related matters?"

"Wha...what? You...you want to marry A-ci?!"

Liu Lingyi's brain buzzed, she felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue, she was so dumbfounded that she couldn't even speak clearly, "You...how can your Pei family...insult Ah Ci like this? What do you think of my Ah Ci? A commodity that can be taken or not? Whoever wants it can take it? And you're pushing it back and forth like this.

Ah Ci's previous fiancé was Ah Sui. If she were to marry you now, your Pei family would be shameless, but our Gu family would still have some dignity!"

After venting her anger, she placed her last hope on Pei Sui and asked, "Ah Sui, are you just going to stand by and watch? Are you really planning to let your brother marry Ah Ci? Can you call her sister-in-law in the future? Or are you really planning to force Ah Ci to death before you are satisfied?"

Pei Sui remained indifferent and just looked at her coldly, "How can the Gu family's reputation be saved if you use moral blackmail like this?"

Liu Lingyi froze, then patted her chest sadly and painfully, crying, "Aci risked her life to save Pei Yu... It's not worth it, my silly child... Aci, wake up and see the face of the Pei family!"

Pei Yu stepped forward at the right time and asked calmly and calmly, "Aunt Liu, since you don't want Ah Ci to marry me, how about we talk about the second plan?"

The two brothers, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, easily took the initiative in the matter.
