The night was as dark as ink, with a few thin clouds floating in the sky, soaked in moonlight, revealing a translucent texture, just like rice paper soaked in clear water.
It was clearly mid-spring and the temperature was comfortable, but Ward 309 in the inpatient building of Deqing Affiliated Hospital seemed to be frozen.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense and solemn at the same time.
Fu Chen stayed in there for too long and got up and left after only about 15 minutes.
His expression was normal when he went out, except that there was a hint of darkness and depth in his gentle eyes.
Gu Ci, who was sitting on the hospital bed, seemed to have spent all his energy in these 15 minutes and lay back on the pillow tiredly.
Looking at the sunflowers in the vase in the distance, his lifeless eyes smiled calmly, and after a long time he slowly closed his eyes.
On the 15th, Meng Sheng brought Qiao Na and the leader of the exhibition team to the hospital to visit Gu Ci.
When they arrived, Liu Lingyi and Gu Qinglian happened to be in the ward talking to Gu Ci.
When they saw Meng Sheng, the smiles on the mother and daughter's faces froze, and their eyes became sharp and critical.
On the contrary, when Gu Ci saw her, he was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised.
Then a quiet and gentle smile blossomed on her face, "Director Meng, why are you here? And you brought so many things with you. Come and sit down. Sister, can you please help me move a chair?"
Gu Qinglan was so angry when she saw Meng Sheng that she wanted to mock him, but Liu Lingyi stopped her and warned her with her eyes, so she held back.
She obediently pulled over two chairs, but did not pretend to greet Meng Sheng.
Instead, Liu Lingyi smiled openly and said, "Ms. Meng came at the right time. Ah Ci was just worried that no one would chat with her to relieve her boredom. She was tired of talking to us all day long."
Gu Ci teased, "Mom, I never said the word 'bored'."
Liu Lingyi followed with a few jokes to adjust the atmosphere in the room. When she saw the nanny Cao Ma bringing three cups of tea, she tactfully pulled Gu Qinglian out.
After closing the door, Meng Sheng asked gently, "Ms. Gu, how are you now? I heard that you were injured and hospitalized, and you were in a coma for several days.
I just found out a few days ago that you woke up after being transferred to Deqing Hospital, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I came to see you only now. I hope Miss Gu doesn’t mind. "
Gu Ci smiled, "Director Meng, you are too polite. I am very happy that you can come to see me. I am in good health now. I think God is taking care of me and letting me save my life."
After that, she noticed Qiao Na and another team leader out of the corner of her eye, and asked, "Director Meng, what stage has the exhibition been set up at now?"
Upon hearing this, Joanna and the leader of the exhibition team told Gu Ci about the progress, layout concept and design, as well as the subtle changes and effect presentation rehearsal during this period.
Gu Ci has never doubted the strength and ability of Yisheng Art Museum.
This is also one of the reasons why she entrusted her first art exhibition in her life to Yisheng Art Museum.
Secondly, of course, it will allow me to get closer to Meng Sheng and get to know Meng Sheng better.
But it was too late by then.
Meng Sheng had discovered the affair between Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei so early, and even knew what happened in Yueqifang Beauty Salon, as if everything was under her control.
All causes and effects changed because Meng Sheng knew it in advance.
"It seems that I made the right choice. Cooperating with Yisheng Art Museum is the best choice I have ever made."
She said to Meng Sheng with a smile, "Director Meng really didn't disappoint me. The effect of this exhibition is no worse than the one shown by Professor Qiu Yi and Professor Ying Feiting. I like it very much."
Meng Sheng's expression was gentle and his voice was soft, "As long as Miss Gu likes it, there is only half a month left before the opening ceremony of the art exhibition.
I came here today to tell Miss Gu that the art museum is officially starting to promote this exhibition.
By the way, I want to ask Miss Gu, will you appear at the opening ceremony?"
Gu Ci pursed her lips, as if she was concerned about her physical condition.
After a while, she nodded gently and said, "Anyway, this is my first exhibition opening ceremony, and I want to show up.
But... this time can't be too long, I'm afraid my body won't be able to take it and cause trouble for you."
Meng Sheng heard this, with the smile on his face unchanged, "The opening ceremony is very important, and I also hope that Miss Gu can attend, so we will try to shorten your process as much as possible.
However, there is still half a month before the opening day, so I hope Miss Gu will take good care of her health.
I look forward to meeting you and our art museum on the most glorious and eye-catching day."
"Yes, I will. Director Meng is very thoughtful." Gu Ci's eyes were filled with smiles, and she looked at Qiao Na and the team leader, "I'm sorry for your trouble. I would like to thank you all here."
Qiao Na replied, "Ms. Gu, you are too polite. This is the duty of our art museum."
After finishing the discussion, Meng Sheng and the others prepared to leave.
Gu Ci stopped her and said, "Director Meng, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and paused in his movement to stand up from the chair.
She met Gu Ci's gentle eyes, which were without any sharpness and full of kindness, without hesitation.
He turned around and said to Qiao Na and the others, "You should go back to the museum first. There is only half a month left. The exhibition team should speed up the progress. The quality and safety must also be guaranteed."
After Qiao Na and the exhibition team leader agreed, they said goodbye and left.
Gu Ci's ward is different from other wards. There is no unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the one she lives in.
There is always a vase with sunflowers on the cabinet standing by the wall not far away, and a crystal clear small incense burner next to it.
Three inconspicuous wisps of green smoke floated out, as thin as gossamer, and the whole room was filled with a fresh and elegant scent of apricot blossoms.
There were only two of them left in the room, and Meng Sheng calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She was the first to break the brief silence, "Miss Gu, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."
"It's not a big deal, actually. I just want to apologize to Director Meng."
Gu Ci glanced at her, there was no color on her lips, the arc of her gaze was not big, and there was a hint of weakness in her calm and open voice.
"Because of the last time my sister hired someone to slander you online, and this time because of my mother's ridiculous request that Asui marry me.
These are not what I want, but they are all related to me. I am sorry, Director Meng, I have caused you trouble."
Implicate?
The word sounded quite fresh coming from her mouth.
Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows calmly, then gently raised his eyes to look at her.
Two seconds later, she moved her red lips calmly, "President Gu and Madam Liu have already personally apologized for what happened to Miss Gu Er.
As for Madam Liu's ridiculous request... I accept your apology."
She didn't hesitate at all when she said the last sentence, but just paused out of habit.
After just a pause, he accepted Gu Ci's apology with peace of mind.
At the same time, she was also indirectly telling Gu Ci that she and Pei Sui had the kind of relationship she wanted.
This kind of temptation is too childish.
Gu Ci glanced at her and was silent for about five seconds.
He smiled softly and said, "Thank you Director Meng. I should have come to apologize, but unfortunately my health does not allow it now. When I feel better in the future, I will come to express my sincerity. I hope Director Meng will forgive me."
"These are all small matters. It's enough for me to understand Miss Gu's intentions. Nothing else matters."
The greetings and courtesies between the two were superficial, but only they themselves knew the inner competition and surge.
After Meng Sheng came out of the ward, he said hello to Liu Lingyi in the outer hall and left.
He didn't even look at Gu Qinglian.
Gu Qinglian was so angry at her arrogant attitude that she almost chased out and cursed Meng Sheng.
Only after receiving Liu Lingyi's warning look did he endure it.
