Meng Sheng had never seen the old lady before, but seeing her dignified, elegant and noble temperament, he guessed her identity at a glance.
With the testimony of Cui Xueheng standing next to him, I was even more certain.
It was Old Lady Pei who raised Pei Sui.
"Director Meng." Gu Ci was the first to speak and greet.
Today she was wearing a crescent-white cheongsam with buttons embroidered with magnolia flowers, and her short hair was pinned up with a jade hairpin.
She wore no extra jewelry and only light makeup to make herself look better, but her every move was filled with scholarly elegance.
He doesn't look like a person who is recovering from an illness at all.
Meng Sheng came up to her, smiled and nodded to her, and asked with concern, "How is Miss Gu today?"
"It's OK. Thank you Director Meng for your concern." After that, Gu Ci introduced the old ladies beside her to her, "This is Grandma Pei and Aunt Cui. They are also thinking of my first exhibition and came here specially to support me."
Meng Sheng had met Cui Xueheng before. Although the atmosphere of that meeting was not very good, she still greeted them as a junior.
There is no excessive intimacy, so there is no flattery.
Elegant and polite.
She perfectly portrayed the scholarly character of the Meng family.
Ever since Pei Sui mentioned that his girlfriend was Meng Sheng, Old Lady Pei has been curious about this girl.
During this period of time, she also learned about the marriage between Meng Sheng and Shang Jia's illegitimate son, and roughly looked into how she and Asui met.
She never commented on these things from beginning to end, as if she just wanted to understand her future granddaughter-in-law.
At this moment, she saw Meng Sheng, and she held Meng Sheng's hand affectionately, saying with a kind face, "I often hear Ah Sui mention you, and after meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed a well-educated and well-mannered girl."
Meng Sheng smiled, "Grandma, you are too kind. I should have gone to the west of the city to visit you..."
"What polite words are you talking about? I know you and Asui are usually very busy. Whenever you come to visit the west of the city, the door of the Pei family is open to welcome you."
Cui Xueheng had no good face for her, especially when she thought of her attitude last time, when Pei Sui even went back to the old house and broke up with her for her sake.
She felt very uncomfortable and felt only disgust towards Meng Sheng.
But the occasion was different today, and the old lady was still here, so she couldn't make things difficult for Meng Sheng.
Gu Ci was watching this harmonious scene with a smile on her face, and naturally noticed the impatience and irritability hidden in Cui Xueheng's eyes.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but she sneered in her heart.
It seems that this old lady really likes Meng Sheng.
There were so many people standing nearby, so Meng Sheng and the old lady didn't spend too much time chatting.
Meng Sheng greeted the Gu family politely again, then led them to the lounge on the second floor and asked the staff to bring them the best tea, snacks and fruits.
Someone from the Propaganda Department came over and went over the process with Gu Ci again.
Meng Sheng couldn't stay with them any longer, so he said something to the old lady and went downstairs.
At half past nine, the opening ceremony officially began. Gu Ci appeared in the public eye, with flashes of light flashing continuously in the audience.
Gu Ci did not show any sign of shrinking. She smiled sweetly throughout the whole process, standing tall, graceful, generous and elegant.
Although her process was controlled within fifteen minutes by Meng Sheng, Gu Ci's foundation was still too poor. Coupled with the sequelae caused by the knife in No. 4, she could not sustain too much energy and stand for too long.
Before she could finish her sentence, her breath suddenly weakened and her body staggered two steps uncontrollably.
Meng Sheng's attention has always been on her, because he is afraid that she might get into an accident.
With so many reporters and media, some prominent figures in Beijing, and a small number of visitors, the art museum could be implicated if any of them said something nonsense.
She calmly stepped forward to support Gu Ci and asked softly, "Miss Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Ci turned his head to look at her, moved his lips, smiled at her, and whispered, "It's okay, I can still hold on, don't worry."
Meng Sheng nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at Qiao Na who was not far away. After Qiao Na understood, she immediately called a doctor to come and wait.
Gu Ci still insisted on finishing what she had unfinished words, but when she stepped down from the stage, her body couldn't help but go limp.
"Ms. Gu!"
