Chapter 240: Suspicion, Exploitation



In the elevator, Meng Sheng was looking down at his mobile phone. His long eyelashes drooped gently like butterfly wings, casting a small, soft, twilight-like shadow on his throat, as if isolating himself from all the noise from the outside world.

All my attention and thoughts are on my phone.

I didn't see Fu Chen.

The elevator door closed quickly, and the gentle eyes that had originally reflected the graceful figure now returned to their usual clear and solemn appearance.

Fu Chen stood still, not moving, stroking the fingers hanging by his side.

As if thinking about something.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and went to Gu Ci's ward.

Just as I reached the door and raised my hand to knock, I heard unclear voices from inside.

"Hey, Ah Ci, Pei Sui can bring breakfast to Meng Sheng, which shows that he cares about Meng Sheng. What if Meng Sheng falls in love with him one day?

What should you do? Just let it go? Don’t fight or compete?

The angry and disappointed female voice was followed by a helpless and weak voice.

"Sister, what can I do? At the beginning, I thought I was going to die, so I resolutely cancelled the engagement and went abroad, which made Asui a joke in the circle. It's right for him to blame and hate me.

Now, he wants to pursue Director Meng, how can I stop him? If this can make him feel better, I can only wish him the best. "

After hearing this, Gu Qinglian suddenly felt as if a blessing had come to her mind, "Ah Ci, tell me... is Pei Sui angry that you broke off the engagement, and now that he sees you're back, he's deliberately chasing after Meng Sheng just to piss you off?

It just so happened that you and Meng Sheng’s father were in the same hospital, so he came to deliver breakfast on purpose just to attract your attention and make you jealous. So Pei Sui was deliberately taking advantage of Meng Sheng?

No wonder you are so calm, it turns out you know Pei Sui's thoughts, but if Pei Sui knew you were still in a blessing mood, he would be mad at you? Besides, you can't just let it go.

What if…what if they really are together? That would be more trouble than gain.”

Gu Ci smiled helplessly, "Sister, please stop talking. What does this have to do with anything? Have you read too many novels and watched too much TV? Asui is not that kind of person, and I didn't think about this either.

I'm afraid my body will never get better in this lifetime, and I don't know how long I can live. I can only be happy and sincerely wish that Asui can be with Director Meng.

They are a talented couple, especially Director Meng, who is gentle and virtuous. She will definitely be a good wife and a good mother in the future. If Asui marries her, it will definitely be a good story. "

Gu Qinglian couldn't stand her saying that she wouldn't live long, and she also didn't like to hear her words that would make others look good and destroy her own ambitions.

Who the hell is Meng Sheng? He's still talking about him in a good way.

The Pei family’s humiliation was pretty good.

Looking at all the wealthy families in Beijing, who would be willing to marry a divorced woman?

She glared at Gu Ci and said angrily, "Ah Ci, what are you talking about? You..."

However, before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Qinglian's voice came to an abrupt end.

When they raised their eyes, a figure in a white coat came over, and both of them were stunned.

Fu Chen's gaze swept across Gu Qinglan, and finally moved to Gu Ci's face, his pupils slightly darkening.

But there wasn't much emotion revealed in his eyes, just a hint of a smile that he was willing to show.

Then he nodded calmly, his face calm.

He said straight to the point, "Thank you Miss Gu for saving my daughter's life last night. I have prepared a gift, which will be delivered in about half an hour.

I have other things to do later and I am afraid I won't be able to spare the time, so I came to say thank you to Miss Gu first."

His words were sincere, his attitude was not exaggerated, and even the measure of his thanks was just right.

He had quite a lot of things to do today. He had an operation around 11:30, and he really didn't sleep all night last night. He had two major operations in a row, so he felt very tired now.

After checking the room, he quickly came to Gu Ci and then went back to the dormitory to take a nap.

She called home early in the morning and asked the housekeeper to prepare a thank-you gift for Gu Ci.

After all, he saved Miaomiao's life, so the thank-you gift on behalf of the Fu family must be heavier.

Of course, this does not mean that Fu Chen’s suspicion did not fall on Gu Ci.

But this suspicion lacks basis.

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Ci's face. She looked into his calm, yet gentle and deep eyes and slowly smiled.

"Professor Fu, you are too kind. I just did a simple favor and called a doctor. Professor Fu, you don't have to do this."

Fu Chen said, "Miss Gu is kind, but my daughter was in danger last night. You saved her life. The small gift I prepared is not worth mentioning. I hope Miss Gu doesn't mind it."

Gu Ci shook her head. "Professor Fu, you are really too polite. Speaking of which, you have saved my life. I heard from the nurse that last time in the emergency room,

Professor Fu has also helped a lot. I am really sorry that I haven't thanked you for so many days."

Fu Chen, "That is my duty, Miss Gu, don't worry about it."

The two of them politely declined, but in the end Gu Ci accepted his gift.

Upon seeing this, Fu Chen decided not to stay any longer. After a few simple greetings, he turned around and left.

This was Gu Qinglian's second time with Fu Chen, but that day in the emergency room, she was too worried about Gu Ci's health and did not have a deep impression of him.

When I saw him today, I remembered some things.

After he left, she smiled and talked about gossip with Gu Ci, "What a coincidence, the Fu family seems to be arranging a marriage for him, and the one they are optimistic about is Ye Shuqiao.

More than half a month ago, I heard Ye Shuqiao talk about this. It seemed that she was quite satisfied with Fu Chen. But two days ago, the Fu family rejected this marriage that was almost finalized. I heard that it was Fu Chen's idea.

Ye Shuqiao also looked for Gu Fuchen, but Fuchen blocked her and refused to see her.

Gu Ci paused and looked at her in surprise, "There is actually such a thing."

Gu Qinglian and Ye Shuqiao are friends, so it's not surprising that they know this.

Moreover, the reason why Beijing's wealthy circle is called a circle is because every household has some connections to some extent.

Either relatives or friends.

Or it could be a cooperative relationship based on benefits.

Therefore, Gu Ci did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.

She shook her head gently and sighed, "I don't know why Professor Fu suddenly wants to refuse this marriage?"

Gu Qinglian said he didn’t know.

Gu Ci didn't continue the topic. When she looked up, she inadvertently saw a bunch of sunflowers in a vase not far away.

It seems a little withered.

She frowned and said to the nanny, "Auntie Cao, throw away that bunch of sunflowers and buy another one... Forget it, it would be better to put a few apricot blossoms in it."

The nanny nodded and went to change the sunflowers immediately.
