Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes slightly, "Miaomiao's birthday?"
Fu Chen nodded, "Well, I originally ordered a princess dress for her, but she probably can't wear it due to her current physical condition. I have major surgeries today and tomorrow, and I can't spare the time to choose again, so I can only trouble you."
He still looked a little tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was obvious blue under his eyes.
But he seemed to be in good spirits, and his voice and tone were the same as usual.
Meng Sheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know much about Miaomiao's hobbies, and I rarely interact with children. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that she had a birthday tomorrow. As for choosing a gift, your family must know her better and it would be easier for them to buy her the gift she likes."
This means a polite refusal.
It's actually very obvious.
But Fu Chen didn't seem to understand. His gentle and tired eyes were stained with a smile. "That girl is thinking about you when she eats and sleeps now. She will be happy as long as you buy her something. She likes you very much. When you were not here yesterday, she went to Uncle Meng's place to look for you four or five times. She also asked me to call you and ask when you will be back. My parents are usually busy at the research institute, and they will come to the hospital to accompany her for her birthday tomorrow at noon."
Hearing this, Meng Sheng remembered that when she went home last night and called the nanny to ask about her father's health, the nanny also told her that Miaomiao had gone to the ward and asked her many times when she would return to the hospital.
Her eyes softened a little. She really liked the little girl Miaomiao and felt sorry for her.
After all, I know it's her birthday and she has to buy a gift, so it's okay to help her choose a gift.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and asked, "What does Miaomiao usually like?"
Fu Chen knew that she agreed.
His heart, which was originally a little restless, calmed down a little. His expression remained unchanged. He thought seriously for a while before whispering, "She is usually quiet and likes to think. She likes educational toys, such as jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, and board games. She also likes to read story books and play with rabbit plush toys. She also likes to be beautiful and likes to wear pretty dresses."
Hearing this, Meng Sheng couldn't help laughing, and his calm eyes were filled with tiny glimmers of light.
It seems even brighter than the warm sunshine in spring.
"Girls who love beauty are of all ages," she joked.
Fu Chen nodded seriously, "Indeed."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "I see. I'll go to the mall this afternoon to pick some out."
"good."
The conversation between the two did not last long before the cell phone in Fu Chen's pocket rang. It was the multi-department consultation meeting room urging him.
He said hello and left in a hurry.
Meng Sheng also went to Meng Chengli's ward. Miaomiao happened to be there too, sitting beside the bed and doing a puzzle with Meng Chengli.
Seeing her, Miaomiao was about to get down from the chair and said in a baby voice, "Aunt Meng, you're here! I haven't seen you for a long time."
Meng Sheng hurriedly handed the thermos bucket to the nanny who caught her, "Slow down, it will hurt if you fall."
Miaomiao looked up at her fair, round and beautiful face, her clear almond eyes sparkling with joy, "Aunt Meng, I missed you so much."
Meng Sheng smiled, took her to sit down, and after talking to Meng Chengli for a few words, he asked about her physical condition.
Different from the warmth of this ward, the atmosphere in the VIP ward of Chengxi Central Hospital is somewhat solemn.
Gu Ci has been in a coma since he was sent to the hospital yesterday afternoon. Although the doctor said that his life is not in danger, he also made it clear that there is a high probability that the wound will be infected.
Especially since Gu Ci is weak and has poor resistance.
Liu Lingyi has been crying since yesterday afternoon until now. She has even received two injections of calming agent and almost passed out.
At this moment, his eyes, which already looked mean, were so swollen that they were unbearable to look at, and even his dignified and noble bookish temperament was gone.
"Aunt, you have watched Ah Ci grow up, right? She has had poor health since she was young. Her father, her brother, and her sister and I have always held her in our hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in our mouths for fear of melting. The Taoist priest who once read her fortune said that she would not live past the age of 10. I have poured all my efforts into her, and she is finally 29 years old, but... something like this happened."
The more she spoke, the sadder she felt. She also felt sorry for Gu Ci. Her voice became more and more choked with sobs, and she spoke more sincerely to the old lady of the Pei family, "It doesn't really matter whether she has a child or not. After all, with her physical condition, giving birth to a child would really cost her her life.
But the problem is that her reproductive system has been seriously damaged because of saving A Yu, and it is hard to say whether there will be other sequelae in the future.
It's been so long since the surgery, but she's still unconscious. The nanny said she bled a lot. Whenever I think about it, I feel like a knife is cutting my heart. Auntie, how can I not feel heartache and pain for Ah Ci?!"
In the huge ward, besides the Gu family, the Pei family was also present.
Even Cui Xueheng, who was not feeling well and seemed a little dazed, was there.
At this moment, she was holding Pei Huan's hand and crying.
Aci had always been respectful to her and had a good temper. Now that something like this had happened, she felt bad.
Old Mrs. Pei hasn't been in charge for many years. If the matter wasn't too big, she wouldn't show up easily.
Now, after listening to Liu Lingyi say so much, she is old in body but not in heart, so she naturally understands the deep meaning of her words.
Liu Lingyi wanted the Pei family to be responsible for this matter.
This is inevitable.
After all, Gu Ci’s injury was caused by their Pei family.
The Pei family would never do such an ungrateful thing.
However, she would definitely not think of this as a responsible way as Liu Lingyi did, and let the brothers Pei Yu or Pei Sui marry Gu Ci.
Because no matter which of the two brothers marries her, it would be unsuitable.
Gu Ci used to be Pei Sui’s fiancée, and the person who can be saved is Pei Yu.
There was a hint of sadness and heartache in her old and somewhat turbid eyes.
He sighed, patted Liu Lingyi's back gently, and comforted her, "Lingyi, I know you are worried about Ah Ci, and I understand how hard it has been for you these years. Ah Ci grew up under my watch, and we have seen how much effort you have put in for her. Now that she is unconscious, of course I feel distressed, and I can't get over it. I wish it was Ah Yu lying in the ICU.
Now that it has happened, you can't scare yourself like this. You have to believe in Ah Ci and the doctor. Ah Ci will be fine. She is such a sensible and well-behaved child. The Bodhisattva will definitely bless her."
Pei Yu also heard the clues in Liu Lingyi's words. He glanced at Pei Sui calmly, his cold and indifferent eyebrows moved slightly, and he took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Aunt Liu, our Pei family will fully bear Ah Ci's medical expenses this time..."
Gu Qinglian heard this and interrupted him impatiently without waiting for him to finish his words. Her attitude was even more arrogant and cold, "Does our Gu family need this little money? Pei Yu, you are avoiding the important issue!"
Pei Yu looked at her calmly for only three seconds before looking away.
He was not affected by her angry questioning, and calmly completed the unfinished words, "I know that the Gu family has no shortage of this money. Aunt Liu, Ah Ci was seriously injured because of me after all, and the medical expenses should be paid by our Pei family. Our Pei family and Gu family have known each other for so many years, and I can't escape.
If Uncle Gu and Aunt Liu have any further requests, you can ask for them, and our Pei family will do our best."
Do your best!
These four words mean that the Pei family still has room for choice, and they will not agree to any unreasonable demands made by the Gu family.
Anything that cannot be agreed to is beyond the scope of “doing one’s best”.
Abbreviated as "powerless".
But there was nothing wrong with what he said. At least on the surface, no one in the Gu family could find any fault with it.
If they proposed that Pei Sui marry Gu Ci now, it would imply that they were asking for repayment for a favor.
But this was exactly what the Gu family discussed last night.
We can't let Ah Ci take that blow in vain. She was injured so badly, it doesn't make sense for her to not get any benefit at all.
Liu Lingyi weighed this in her heart and glanced at Gu's father secretly, but Gu's father lowered his head slightly, his emotion unclear.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and cried as she looked at Pei Sui, who had remained silent and indifferent. Her expression was sad and bitter, "Ah Sui, you and Ah Ci grew up together as childhood sweethearts. You have a deep bond between you. At the beginning, she was diagnosed with leukemia and thought she would not survive, so she insisted on breaking off the engagement. I didn't want to make you sad, so I didn't tell you the truth.
She hasn't had an easy time these years. In the past few years, she was tortured by illness day and night and couldn't sleep well. Although she didn't tell us anything, we all understand that she has always had feelings for you, and you are her biggest motivation to persevere all these years.
Actually... she wrote more than twenty suicide notes, and I accidentally saw them in a drawer that she forgot to lock last month. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what she was thinking. She has always regretted it, and expressed her love and reluctance for you in the suicide notes, saying that her biggest wish since childhood was to wear a wedding dress and marry you.
The child feels very bitter, but he is willing to swallow it all.
Even this time when she wanted to come back from abroad, I didn't agree at first, but she insisted, saying she would come back no matter what. But after seeing you, she did nothing. We were worried about her, but she always advised us to relax. "
Once Liu Lingyi said this, she couldn't hold herself back anymore.
She wished she could pour out all the forbearance and pain that Gu Ci had endured over the years, in order to arouse Pei Sui's sympathy and love for Gu Ci.
But she said so much, and it had been ten seconds since she finished speaking. The only sound in the huge ward was her sobbing. Pei Sui just frowned slightly.
His other emotions remained calm, making it impossible to grasp what he was thinking at the moment.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became tense, and everyone looked unhappy.
Gu Qinglian, who was impatient, could not help herself and said, "A Sui, Ah Ci is now like this because she took the initiative to save him. She is kind and brave. We don't want to embarrass you. We just want Ah Ci to get what she wants and you marry her."
