Nie Han sighed in his heart: Oh, the power of love is as powerful as thunder and lightning.
Not to be underestimated.
Seeing that his boss was about to walk away, he immediately gathered his thoughts, raised his legs to follow him, and lifted his sleeves to look at his watch.
"Director, there are only twelve... ten minutes left until the meeting. The monthly reports of the other eleven lawyers have already been submitted yesterday after preliminary review."
"Um."
Pei Sui responded indifferently, his tone did not change much, but his expression was obviously much softer, no longer as cold and impatient as a few days ago.
He pushed open the office door and went in. "Let me take a look later."
Deqing Affiliated Hospital.
Gu Ci's mood has been cloudy since yesterday. She, who usually looks good-tempered, even broke two cups.
The nanny, Sister He, was taking care of her even more carefully, for fear of upsetting her.
When Gu Qinglian first asked her, she refused to say anything. She only found out about it yesterday at noon when she heard about it from a friend. She didn't know how to comfort Gu Ci better.
This matter was indeed shameful, and she felt ashamed just listening to it.
Gu Ci refused to say a word the whole day yesterday and cried for several times. She would cry whenever the matter was mentioned. The doctor came four or five times and it was a real hassle.
In her impression, Gu Ci has always been gentle and calm.
When have you ever been so emotional?
Even when she was diagnosed with leukemia and broke off her engagement with Pei Sui, she just sat there in a daze for the entire afternoon and didn't cry. She accepted it calmly and made her choice calmly.
But on the plane going abroad, her eyes were red.
Later, when she missed him too much, she would take out paper and pen to ease the pain of missing him, and vent her feelings with tears in her eyes. She had never cried so bitterly or been so angry as she did this time.
Gu Qinglian took a deep breath, but couldn't help asking again, "Did Meng Sheng really give you the drug?"
Gu Ci's eyes were red and her face was full of grievance.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally spoke, "If not her, who else could it be? And she sent it under your name. I was completely defenseless. The night before last, I felt like I barely slept in the bed. I was in the bathroom the whole time. And yesterday, such a big person disappeared. How...how am I going to face people in the future?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes again.
Gu Qinglian stood up in fury. "How could Meng Sheng be so vicious and resort to such despicable means? This matter must be made known to everyone. I want to see if all the people in Jing City can drown her with their spit!"
She was really angry to the extreme now. If Meng Sheng were here, she would have wanted to slap Meng Sheng a few times.
Gu Ci sniffed lightly, but her tears continued to flow.
Thinking of Meng Sheng's innocent and confused look and the cold and sarcastic words he said to her last night, the hatred in her heart began to surge violently.
She bit her lip and said with tears in her eyes, "We...can't produce any evidence. With her sharp tongue, she might even bite me back. Yesterday morning..."
yes.
This wasn't the first time she had seen Meng Sheng's powerful mouth.
She can even make the dead appear alive.
"I'm so pissed! Meng Sheng, that bitch! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had... I would have torn her mouth apart!"
Gu Qinglan kicked over the chair next to her in anger.
She gritted her teeth and promised, "Aci, don't cry. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this. That bitch Meng Sheng, I made her cry without even being able to!"
Gu Ci stopped crying and hurriedly advised, "Don't... Sister, don't be impulsive. You are no match for her. You will be the one who suffers. You..."
Gu Qinglian refused to believe it. "I just don't believe that she can be so all-powerful and that I can't handle her!"
Gu Ci knew Gu Qinglan's personality and temper too well. Not only was she arrogant, but she also had a very bad temper. She would beat people up and get angry at the slightest dissatisfaction. Outside, she had been very restrained for the sake of her personality and family reputation.
At home, the violent and vindictive nature will be fully exposed.
All the servants in the Gu family treated Gu Yuan and Liu Lingyi with respect and were not afraid of them, but they were only afraid of the moody second young lady.
She slapped and kicked countless people.
Although Liu Lingyi would educate her, she was already in her thirties and her character had already been determined. It was too late to educate her now.
This is also the biggest reason why she has not been able to get married in her thirties.
The families that the Gu family wants to marry into are all well-known in Beijing. Since they have a good status, who would want to marry such a time bomb and keep it at home?
Liu Lingyi looked down on Gu Qinglan, who was willing to marry into the Gu family and didn't care about her personality. She thought her own children were the best in the world.
No one can compare to him.
Gu Ci had no choice but to persuade her a few more times with tears in her eyes.
Gu Qinglian knew that she was worried about her, afraid that she would suffer again at the hands of Meng Sheng, and she felt very relieved. In order to prevent her from worrying too much and affecting her recovery, she had to pretend to be reluctant and compromised and agreed.
She even consoled him, "Okay, okay, there's nothing I can do now. Meng Sheng is a slippery loach, and it's not easy to find her.
Hey, when have we ever been so frustrated? Forget it, let's not talk about this. You have to take good care of your health now. Have you forgotten the doctor's instructions last night?
Gu Ci nodded worriedly.
After lunch, when she was about to take a break, Sister He's voice came from outside, "Professor Fu."
Hearing this, Gu Ci paused for two seconds, then quickly recovered. Her scarlet eyes, covered with a layer of mist, looked straight towards the door.
Soon, a tall figure in a white coat appeared in her soft eyes, which were filled with a pitiful sense of grievance and fragility.
Fu Chen's face was calm, without any extra expression, but his eyes, which were always deep and gentle, now contained a hint of cold scrutiny.
Looking at her, his heart was not moved at all.
After all, the relationship between them is not even that of ordinary friends.
Because of her illness since childhood, Gu Ci understood and learned to use her weakness to gain sympathy and everything she wanted, but she forgot that this kind of weakness and grievance would only work on people who really cared about her.
For example, Gu Qinglian and Liu Lingyi, her family.
Fu Chen stopped about half a meter away from the end of the bed. He just looked at her quietly, with no extra emotions in his eyes except for the distant coldness.
"Why are you here?" Gu Ci asked in a voice as steady as possible, with a forced but appropriate curve at the corner of her lips.
She hasn't touched her phone since she came back yesterday, for fear that someone she knows well might contact her on WeChat to ask about the "fart" she experienced yesterday morning.
She knew that this matter must have spread in the circle. She was afraid to face it and did not want to hear a single word about it.
Whenever she thought of the embarrassing scene at that time and the disgusted looks from Rao Miaojun and the others, she felt as if her internal organs were burning with unbearable pain.
"I heard that you were drugged by a laxative? The drug was completely taken away last night." Fu Chen's tone was flat, with no ups and downs in his voice, as if he was just asking casually.
