If it were before, he would still prefer Fu Chen in his heart, especially after he met Fu Chen's parents. His parents were both sensible and kind people, and Miaomiao was still young, well-behaved and cute.
If Meng Sheng were with him, there would not be any awkward or embarrassing situation, whether with superiors or subordinates.
But now, he roughly knew what kind of feelings Shengsheng had for Pei Sui, and his heart naturally tilted a little.
No matter how suitable Fu Chen is or how satisfied he is, money cannot buy her daughter's happiness.
He couldn't help but feel complicated. He was afraid that his daughter would be unhappy and that she would be hurt again. As a parent, isn't it to worry about your children suffering?
Just as he was becoming more and more worried, Mr. and Mrs. Fu had already stood up to say goodbye.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to see me and talking nonsense with me for so long."
Father Fu also smiled and said, "What are you talking about? You are too polite. Have a good rest and take care of yourself. We will come to see you next time."
Meng Sheng sent them to the door before returning. The nurse was pouring water for Meng Chengli.
She walked over, set the table, took out the thermos, unscrewed the lid, and without any concealment or preamble, said directly, "Dad, try this fish porridge and turkey soup. Pei Sui prepared these specially for you."
Hearing this, Meng Chengli looked at her in surprise.
Meng Sheng noticed his astonished look out of the corner of her eye, but she did not stop her actions, and there was no embarrassment or shame on her face.
After she poured out the porridge and hot pot, he calmed down his expression and asked, "Are you... back together?"
"Um."
Meng Sheng responded softly, looked up at his father, pursed his lips, pulled a chair over to sit down, and said carefully, "This was actually an accident... But, Dad, I made the choice according to my heart. I'm sorry, I..."
Meng Chengli raised his hand to stop him and shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with following your own heart. You don't have to apologize to me. I know Pei Sui is Pei Sui. What Cui Xueheng did has nothing to do with him."
As for the rest, he didn't say anything more. If he said too much, it would affect her own judgment.
These past two days, he kept thinking, even if Shengsheng made the wrong choice this time, so what?
He and Shixu can both support her and provide her with confidence.
Meng Sheng didn't expect her father to have this attitude. She thought he would analyze the pros and cons with her like last time, and tell her about the situations she would most likely face in the future.
But unexpectedly, my father just... gave in?
This should be...relaxation, right?
Although she knew in her heart that Pei Sui was Pei Sui and Cui Xueheng was Cui Xueheng, she could not say it in front of her father.
Otherwise, what her daughter did would be really cruel and heartless.
After all, it was her father who suffered the unexpected disaster and almost lost his life. Now he can't take care of himself due to a stroke. Although there is hope for a full recovery, the damage has already been done.
She still felt a little guilty, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Dad has never blamed you, nor does he think it's your fault. No matter what you choose, Dad will support you."
Meng Chengli gently interrupted her, "People from the Pei family have been coming here every now and then these days, and I know a little bit about the Pei family's affairs. I've also thought about it carefully. Pei Sui was able to completely turn against Cui Xueheng for you and me, which proves that he is a man of his own ideas and can protect you."
Maybe he was afraid that the more he talked about it, the sadder it would become, and it would lead her astray.
He also hoped to see such a bright and bold smile on her face again.
He raised his hand to signal, fearing that talking too much on this matter would affect her judgment, and changed the subject very simply, "This fish porridge will be fishy when it gets cold, affecting the taste. Here, give me the spoon, let me taste his cooking skills."
Meng Sheng chuckled, and his tense nerves and body relaxed.
She put the spoon in his hand, handed the bowl of fish porridge to him, and watched him take a bite with anticipation.
Meng Chengli tasted it carefully, his expression a little surprised. He couldn't help but take another bite of the fish before looking up at her, "Did he really make this? You didn't just pack it up from some restaurant and trick me into it, did you?"
"It seems that Dad has a very high opinion of him. Unfortunately, I asked him, and he is doing very well as a lawyer now. He has no plans to change careers for the time being."
Meng Sheng smiled and joked, moving the bowl closer. "He knows you can't eat a lot of things right now, so he specifically asked for your advice. Especially this old turkey soup, which has been stewed for a full three and a half hours. You should try it too."
Meng Chengli nodded and said "OK". The soup was rich and sweet, with a hint of ginseng, and the meat was as tender as silk.
It can be inferred that the person who made this fish porridge and chicken soup has quite good cooking skills.
As a teacher, he never hesitates to praise his students, and this is no exception. "Well, not bad, your cooking skills are quite good."
He usually has a limited appetite and can't eat too much, but this time he was very considerate and ate one bowl of porridge and drank two bowls of chicken soup.
There was still a little left, so Meng Sheng put it away. If he was hungry or wanted to eat more later, he could heat it up and eat it.
Meng Sheng didn't stay in the ward for too long. She had to go downstairs to find Gu Ci. After Meng Chengli had eaten, she chatted with him in the ward for half an hour before getting up to say goodbye.
Meng Chengli didn't invite her to dinner, after all, he was quite full.
He also knew that she and Pei Sui had just reconciled, and that it would be better for them to have dinner together. He didn't even ask a single question and just waved his hand slightly.
"Well, go ahead. I don't have much to do here. The art museum is busy, or if you're busy, you don't have to come every day. Once or twice a week will be fine."
Meng Sheng laughed and said, "That won't work. I can't just say you have to come every day. You have to come every one or two days."
"Okay, come when you are free." Meng Chengli also smiled helplessly.
Meng Sheng said a few words to the nurse and left the ward. Miaomiao's ward next door was lively, and you could hear laughter coming from inside even when standing in the middle of the corridor.
Especially the faint sound, as sweet and cheerful as a silver bell.
The corners of her lips curled up, and she walked straight towards the elevator without stopping.
The setting sun melts into gold, spreading over the cold corridor walls and covering the plain white corridor with a layer of warm orange gauze. The halo and the smell of disinfectant in the air are intertwined, melting together in this quiet and gentle summer afterglow.
When Meng Sheng arrived at the ward on the 16th floor, Gu Ci was having dinner. Liu Lingyi and Gu Qinglan were not there for the first time, and only the nanny, Sister He, was with her.
Gu Ci was in a bad mood and had been lying in bed for two or three days. She finally got out of bed and moved around this afternoon.
She was also very upset, and she tried to calm down by practicing calligraphy in the afternoon, but she destroyed two of the three brushes and two calligraphy books.
The only thing left was the jade brush, which was only saved by Sister He's firm grip.
My appetite isn't very good either. I've probably only eaten a little over two bowls of rice in the past few days.
After taking only two or three bites of rice, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. Sister He then served her a bowl of soup and forced her to finish it, otherwise she would file a complaint with Liu Lingyi and Gu Yuanyuan.
She knew that the house was in a mess and didn't want to add to the chaos, so she obediently took the bowl of soup and sipped it.
Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Gu Ci subconsciously raised her eyes and saw Sister He had already walked over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the figure she least wanted to see suddenly appeared in her sight.
Her grip loosened and the spoon fell into the bowl, making a crisp "ding ding" sound as the porcelain collided with each other.
She looked at Meng Sheng standing at the door in astonishment.
