"Shengsheng."
The old lady also saw her attitude and knew that she must be blaming their Pei family.
But if it were her, she wouldn't be able to help but feel resentful for such a big thing.
Still with a kind face, he took two steps forward and held her hand.
She spoke gently and apologetically, "I brought Ayu, Asui and the others here today because I wanted to personally apologize to you and your father. It was Ayu's mother who went crazy yesterday and caused your father so much suffering. I'm really sorry."
"I was supposed to come this morning, but I had to send Ayu's mother abroad that morning, so things got delayed. I'm so sorry that I only came now. I'm so sorry."
Although her tone was a little anxious, due to worry and concern, it also carried her usual kind and intimate tone. "Shengsheng, how is your father? What did the doctor say?"
Cui Xueheng was sent abroad?
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, grasping the key point of these words, but was shocked in his heart.
She really didn't expect the Pei family to be so decisive and send people abroad like this.
Is it... for protection?
Protecting Cui Xueheng because you are afraid that the Meng family will investigate this matter?
In fact, she didn't have time to think about what attitude she should adopt towards the Pei family and Pei Sui.
The indifference and alienation just shown came from an instinct.
Because of the barrier in my heart.
At this moment, facing the old lady's sincere, genuine and concerned look, she pursed her lips at a loss.
She also has great respect for Old Lady Pei.
Especially at the Pei family's birthday banquet that day, the old lady gave her both face and money, and was very considerate to her. She showed concern for her in every way, and even gave her a very generous gift when they met.
But these cannot compare with his father's life.
No one is more important than her family.
Meng Sheng glanced at Pei Sui, met his gaze for two seconds, then slowly looked away and pulled his hand back from the old lady.
His face was calm, without any resentment or anger, at most he looked a little indifferent.
The distance felt from one meter suddenly became hundreds or even thousands of meters.
"My dad woke up around 4:00 p.m. yesterday. The doctor diagnosed his NIHSS score as 1, which means he has symptoms of a stroke. Recovery shouldn't be difficult, but he won't be able to withstand any stimulation in the future."
Her voice was calm and without any emotion, but the clenched fists hanging at her sides really betrayed her.
She was not so calm at the moment.
Her father was recovering from cancer surgery and everything was going well, but...
It was impossible to say that she didn't resent Cui Xueheng at all.
How can I not feel resentment? How can I not hate?
She was extremely resentful and hateful.
NIHSS is the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.
The score range is 0 to 42.
The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment, that is, the more serious the stroke.
Clinical interpretation: 0 means no stroke symptoms, 1-4 points means mild stroke, 5-15 means moderate stroke, 16-20 means moderate to severe stroke, and 21-42 means severe stroke.
When the scores came out this morning, Meng Sheng said it was unclear whether he felt it was good or bad.
The bad thing is that my father still has symptoms of a stroke, but the good thing is that the score is only 1 point, which is not mild. It is just some symptoms and trends. As long as timely intervention and treatment are carried out, it will be fine.
Although the score is not high, I still need to be more careful in the future, especially when it comes to Meng Chengli's emotions.
I’m afraid that if he gets excited and his adrenaline rushes, it will happen again, and it will be very dangerous.
She took a deep breath, her voice adding a rare hint of coldness. "Grandma Pei, I'm sorry I find it hard to accept your Pei family's apology. I thought that when someone does something wrong, Madam Cui acted so arrogantly in front of my father yesterday. She should be the one to apologize."
She really wanted to meet Cui Xueheng now and return the insult she had given to Meng Chengli yesterday.
It would be best to let her experience how painful it is to collapse and be trampled into the dust.
"Yes, Shengsheng is right. We should have brought her here to apologize to you and your father in person."
The old lady did not feel embarrassed because she pulled her hand back. She nodded in agreement with her words, but there was still a bit of anger and helplessness on her old face.
She took two steps forward, lowered her voice, and sighed, "Yesterday evening, Ah Sui angrily returned to the old house and had a huge argument with his mother. His eldest brother and I were praying at the Yufu Pure Land Temple at the time. It was only when I received a call from the housekeeper that I learned that she had actually done such a stupid thing.
When we returned, he had already destroyed the plum garden that his mother valued more than her life. He had cut down many of the plum trees, and the once beautiful yard had suddenly become dilapidated.
His mother was so angry that she collapsed and became unconscious. She was half dead. The doctor said that it would be difficult for her to recover in a year or so. Asui strongly demanded that she be sent abroad, otherwise he would sever ties with the Pei family.
The old lady had lived a life of luxury and respect all her life. When had she ever spoken to anyone in such a humble manner?
Thanks to Cui Xueheng, she truly felt it today.
But she didn't feel insulted at this moment. She was filled with guilt and apology for Meng Sheng's cold attitude.
I still feel a little sad.
A hint of helplessness surfaced in her old, cloudy eyes. "After all, she was the one who did this stupid thing. Let alone dragging her here to apologize, even making her kneel and kowtow is what she deserves. At my age, I'm embarrassed because of her. It's really... Sigh."
The old lady's face was full of indescribable words, and finally she sighed heavily, "We came here today to see your father and apologize to him in person. Although an apology will not make up for what happened, we still want to do our best to make it up to you and your father.
It's because I, as her mother-in-law, didn't teach her well, and it's also because our Pei family didn't manage her well, that your father has suffered this unprovoked disaster. I'm really sorry."
Meng Sheng was stunned, with obvious surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
Pei Sui destroyed the plum garden?
Cui Xueheng is unconscious and half dead?
Although she didn't know much about the Pei family, she had heard what the plum garden meant to Cui Xueheng.
