"Thanks."
Meng Sheng picked up the cup and took a sip. The taste of the black tea was slightly astringent and bitter at first, but it became somewhat soft as it slid into his throat.
It seemed to be soothing her uneasy heart.
Pei Sui also moistened his throat and said slowly, "When Ning Weiwei returns the money in full, I will contact Shang Boyu's attorney in the name of your attorney and negotiate with him about the distribution of the property."
He paused again, his eyes slowly falling on the delicate and beautiful face.
"Before that, I would like to hear your opinion on the distribution of this property."
Meng Sheng put down the teacup after hearing this.
The lips covered with velvet lipstick moved slightly, with a hint of mockery.
"These... were all given to Ning Weiwei by him without my knowledge. Now I have gone to great lengths to get them back. How can he have the nerve to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor?"
Pei Sui slowly raised the corners of his lips, but the arc was not very sharp.
But the smile in his eyes was obvious.
"I see. I'll work out a set of rules and show them to you then."
"Okay, thank you."
After the two of them had dinner, Meng Sheng drove Pei Sui to the law firm and returned to the art museum.
The art museum’s collaboration with Gu Ci is in full swing.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides discussed and directed the initial version of the plan.
Gu Ci was still wearing a soft satin cheongsam today, with three pearl buttons in aqua blue, and a crescent-shaped white piping at the waist, which cut out two curved lines on her figure.
The slits at the hem are embroidered with dark silver patterns and a few sparse plum blossoms.
Her short hair was tied up and pinned with a plum blossom jade hairpin.
The delicate and graceful outline is soft and beautiful.
The two greeted each other and began to discuss the planning matters in the reception room.
It is not difficult to see from the conversation that Gu Ci is a person with strong opinions and ideas. If she is not satisfied with some ideas of the curatorial team, she will express them tactfully.
By the time all the details were discussed, it was already half past five.
Walking out of the reception room, Gu Ci looked at the beautiful and quiet woman in front of him and smiled.
"Director Meng, I still owe you a meal from last time. I wonder if I can make up for it tonight?"
Hearing this, Meng Sheng turned his head to look at her.
Recalling the small conflict between the two on the day of the closing ceremony.
Actually, it’s not necessary.
But since the two parties have already cooperated, there is no need to offend the other party.
She smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Miss Lvy, you are too kind. I didn't take the last incident to heart. Since Miss Lvy sincerely invites me, I will respectfully obey your order."
After that, Meng Sheng explained some things to Qiao Na and Minister Zhou.
She went back to the office, packed up her things, picked up her bag and coat, and walked towards the parking lot with Gu Ci while discussing where to eat dinner in the evening.
Gu Ci's driver took her to the art museum in the afternoon and left.
After everything was agreed upon, Gu Ci took Meng Sheng's car and went to Xiting Street.
This wasn't the first time the two had eaten together.
The meal was particularly harmonious. In addition to talking about the exhibition, the two also talked about some interesting things.
Talking and laughing.
It's like the harmony of friends having a meal together after many days.
However, this harmonious and peaceful scene stopped when Gu Ci suddenly covered her stomach and slowly bent her waist. Her pretty face instantly turned pale and painful.
Seeing this, Meng Sheng quickly put down his chopsticks and walked over to her. "Miss Gu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Ci pursed her lips, her voice a little weak, "I...I...suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and my stomach...also hurts..."
Meng Sheng was surprised.
She only heard from Pei Sui that Gu Ci had been in poor health since childhood, but she didn't know what specific illness he had.
Seeing her like this now, I definitely can’t just sit back and do nothing.
She immediately took out her cell phone calmly and dialed the 120 emergency number.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the Deqing Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical College.
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived and she got on it as an escort.
The doctor asked a few questions about Gu Ci's past illness.
Meng Sheng naturally couldn't answer, but fortunately Gu Ci was still conscious and could barely answer a few questions.
Congenital heart disease.
leukemia.
and weak stomach.
When these medical names came out, not only the doctors and nurses in the car were surprised, but Meng Sheng was also shocked.
She really didn't know much about Gu Ci. She only knew that she was a premature baby and had been weak since childhood.
Unexpectedly...
When they arrived at the hospital, several doctors who had made phone calls to remind people on the way came over immediately and pushed Gu Ci into the emergency room.
Gu Ci half-closed his eyes, looking painful, and his consciousness was slowly fading away.
Looking at Meng Sheng's increasingly blurred figure, her pink lips moved slightly, forming an arc that seemed to be invisible.
He tried to raise his hand slowly and murmured, "A Sui... help me make a call..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he fainted.
Meng Sheng didn't hear that sentence clearly as it was drowned out by the voice of the doctor in the emergency department.
Because of this sudden change, Meng Sheng became a little nervous.
After the doctor asked her a series of questions without any results, she did not hesitate and directly called Pei Sui.
She didn't have the contact information of anyone in the Gu family, so she couldn't find anyone related to Gu Ci or the Gu family.
There is only Pei Sui.
The call was quickly answered, but she didn't wait for the familiar deep male voice to come from the receiver.
He said first, "Pei Sui, Gu Ci is unconscious and is in the emergency room of the Deqing Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical College.
I don't have her family's contact information, please call her parents."
Pei Sui on the other end of the phone was very surprised, but he didn't say anything nonsense or question, "Okay, I'll call his parents now. Don't worry, Deqing Affiliated Hospital, right? I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Sheng didn't feel relaxed.
He pursed his lips with a serious expression.
When I looked up, I unexpectedly saw a tall figure wearing a white coat and a medical mask walking quickly towards me.
The two people's eyes met unexpectedly at a distance of six or seven meters.
In just two or three seconds, a nurse called out, "Professor Fu, come quickly."
The man's gaze did not linger on Meng Sheng, but he quickly raised his leg and walked into the emergency department's emergency room.
Meng Sheng didn't pay much attention to this gaze.
After all, there are many people wearing white coats in the hospital.
At this moment, her heart couldn't help but lift slightly, and her brows were furrowed.
In a blink of an eye, two or three older male and female doctors came in one after another.
Gu Ci she...
Will everything be okay?
Not to mention her cooperation with the art museum, they had dinner together in the evening. If anything happened to Gu Ci, she was afraid that she would be implicated.
She raised her hand and gently rubbed her forehead.
It’s too late to think about so much now.
Fortunately, Pei Sui didn't let her wait too long, and he arrived in about twenty minutes.
Pei Sui walked quickly to her side, with a trace of obvious concern in his deep eyes, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Meng Sheng's complexion was relatively good at the moment. He did not seem panicked or at a loss, and his eyes remained calm and natural.
It's just that the jawline is taut.
She responded softly, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Pei Sui saw this and said soothingly, "I have already contacted her family and they are on their way."
Meng Sheng looked at him and asked, "It will take about two hours to get here from the west of the city, right?"
Pei Sui glanced at the time on his watch. "Her sister is in the south of the city. She will come here first and should be here soon."
Meng Sheng nodded slightly.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"have eaten."
After he finished speaking, Meng Sheng told him again what happened when Gu Ci fell ill, even including what dishes they ordered in the evening.
Pei Sui immediately understood what she was worried about. "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. How about you go back first? Leave this to me."
Meng Sheng declined, "No, I'll wait for the results, and then I'll feel more at ease."
Pei Sui heard this and didn't say anything else. He just waited quietly outside with her.
