Pei Sui met Gu's father's gaze and saw the deep displeasure hidden in his eyes.
I was thinking it over carefully in my mind.
He knew too well the Gu family's way of doing things and the temperament of each member of their family.
He had just rejected Liu Lingyi's request for face twice. Now that Gu's father had spoken, he had to give him face, whether for the sake of the two families' long-standing friendship or for Gu's father's sake.
So that the Gu family wouldn’t blame Meng Sheng for this.
Gu Qinglian could do such a thing, and so could his aunt Liu, Liu Lingyi.
He pretended to glance at his watch and replied calmly, "Okay."
Liu Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. He could go see Ah Ci again, so the situation was not that bad.
She didn't care about him humiliating her in front of the Meng family girl just now, but smiled and said, "If Ah Ci knew you were here, she would definitely be very happy."
Pei Sui did not respond.
Father Gu was watching from the side, his brows furrowed with a frown.
I was somewhat displeased with Pei Sui's reaction and attitude.
While waiting for the elevator, he casually asked, "I heard that your eldest brother had a conflict with the Chu family in Shencheng because he wanted to acquire a technology company in Shencheng?"
The Chu family of Shencheng?
He knew that the businesses the Gu family was involved in were all centered around the literary world.
How did he know that his eldest brother was going to acquire a technology company?
Pei Sui narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned, "My eldest brother takes care of all the things at home and the company, so I don't know much about it. Uncle Gu, how did you know about my eldest brother and the Chu family?"
For all the companies and properties under the Pei family's name, he and Suixing Law Firm only hold the title of legal consultant.
He didn't participate in the rest.
I am not interested in traveling business either.
When Father Gu heard this, he knew that this was due to his keenness as a lawyer, and he didn't take it to heart.
He just said, "I'm planning to open a literary fiction website and was looking for someone to work with. I happened to hear about this from the Wan family."
The Wan family and the Chu family are related by marriage.
He put his hands behind his back and warned, "The Chu family in Shencheng has always been good at using dirty tricks. Tell A Yu to be careful, don't fall into their trap, and be careful of their revenge."
Pei Sui rubbed it gently with his fingertips. The reputation of the Chu family, the richest family in Shencheng, had long been known throughout the country.
He started out in the underworld, and after retiring, he became the richest man in Shanghai in 16 years.
In order to suppress the other wealthy families in Shanghai, countless dirty tricks were used.
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Gu. My eldest brother has taken over the Pei family business for twelve years. I believe he has his own decision."
Father Gu looked at him.
Seeing that he had no intention of interfering, and understanding that he was not interested in business, she could not help feeling a little regretful. With such a large business of the Pei family, at least 80% would belong to Pei Yu.
What a pity.
If he is the head of the Pei family now, then the benefits for their Gu family can be maximized.
Unfortunately, the two brothers of the Pei family are more difficult to talk to than the other.
Like two icebergs, so inhuman.
He suppressed his thoughts and nodded, "I watched you and A Yu grow up. After your father passed away, you two brothers were the only ones in the Pei family who supported each other, so you must be on guard against others, especially villains like the Chu family."
Pei Sui nodded, his expression natural, "I understand."
The elevator quickly arrived at the 16th floor and the two of them didn't talk.
In the ward, the nanny was helping Gu Ci wash and dress. After these days of recuperation and treatment in the hospital, Gu Ci's health had indeed recovered a little.
When she heard footsteps outside the door, she guessed that her parents had arrived.
She walked out of the room to greet him, and unexpectedly saw the man walking behind her father. She was stunned for a moment, then she smiled softly and shallowly.
"Dad, Mom, Asui, you are here."
Liu Lingyi rushed over to support her first, and said with a smile, "I just ran into Asui downstairs, and we came up together."
She didn't say a word about him bringing breakfast to Meng Sheng.
Gu Ci's complexion was still a little pale, but she wasn't as weak as the last time I saw her, and there was some color on her lips.
She sat on the sofa and smiled at Pei Sui, "Thank you for coming to see me, Asui."
Pei Sui asked casually, "How is your health recently?"
Gu Ci raised her hand and touched her cheek, then smiled and said, "I feel fine. Maybe the hospital's treatment was effective. I have been sleeping much better these days.
The pressure on my heart has been reduced a little, and I think I'll be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."
Liu Lingyi sighed beside him, "What are you leaving the hospital for? You don't have any appetite at all. It's only been a few days, and you look so thin. Eat something first."
The nanny nearby was very tactful and opened the thermos that the couple had brought, poured out the soup and porridge inside, and handed it to Gu Ci.
Gu Ci took it and said helplessly, "Mom, my weak stomach is not something that has happened in the past two days. I will take care of it slowly. Don't worry too much."
As she spoke, she looked at Pei Sui and saw that he had a calm expression, without any ripples.
Pursing her lips, she asked softly, "By the way, Ah Sui, Aunt Du said that Grandma Pei will be back in two days, is that true?"
Pei Sui lifted his eyelids slightly, and his deep eyes seemed to be asking her how she knew.
Only the Pei family knew about this matter.
Gu Ci explained, "When I was getting the injection this morning, I received a call from Aunt Du, saying that Aunt Cui was not feeling well and had fallen ill again. Unfortunately, I can't go visit her in my current state."
Pei Sui frowned.
He really didn't know that Cui Xueheng was unwell. In the past, no one in the Pei family would tell him about her minor illnesses or pains.
After all, everyone knew that there was a rift between mother and son, and he didn't care about Cui Xueheng's health.
Knowing that he would not respond, Gu Ci asked again, "When will Grandma Pei come back?"
Pei Sui replied, "In two days."
Gu Ci asked again, "The last two times I went to the Pei family, I heard that Grandma Pei was going to come back during the Chinese New Year, but she postponed it until now because of her health problems. How is Grandma Pei's health now?"
"Good."
Gu Ci scooped a spoonful of the delicate lean meat porridge, and smiled as if chatting about family matters, "That's good, it also makes me feel more at ease. When I am discharged from the hospital, I must visit her. I haven't seen her for many years."
Pei Sui just responded indifferently and seemed to be in low spirits.
A few minutes later, he glanced at the time on his watch.
It has been ten minutes since I entered the ward.
That's about it.
He said goodbye, "I have something else to do at the law firm, Uncle Gu, Aunt Liu, I'm leaving first."
"You're leaving now?" Liu Lingyi was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Gu Ci, and said with a smile, "Okay, your law firm always has a lot of things to do, go and get busy. If you have time later, come to the hospital to see Ah Ci more often."
"Mom, I'm fine now. Don't disturb Asui's work."
Gu Ci held Liu Lingyi and said to Pei Sui softly, "A Sui, don't listen to my mother. I'm much better now. Work is more important."
Pei Sui did not respond to her. He just nodded slightly to Gu's father, then turned and left the ward.
Watching his leaving figure, Gu Ci slowly withdrew her gaze, drank two more mouthfuls of porridge, then had no appetite and put the bowl down.
"Not eating anymore?" Liu Lingyi asked.
"Yeah, I'm full."
"How much have you eaten? You haven't even had a mouthful of soup. Eat more."
Gu Ci reluctantly pushed away the bowl of soup she handed over, "Mom, I really can't eat anymore."
"You." Liu Lingyi sighed and asked angrily, "If you don't fight or compete like this, when will Ah Sui change his mind? What good will it get?
Do you know why your dad and I met him downstairs?"
