Gu Ci looked at her blankly, with obvious confusion in her eyes.
Anger welled up on Liu Lingyi's face. "That girl from the Meng family is quite capable. Even a cold-hearted person like Asui would be willing to make breakfast for her and personally deliver it to her."
"Make...breakfast?"
Gu Ci was a little surprised and surprised.
Liu Lingyi snorted coldly, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it was a thermos bucket and a large thermos bag, I don't know how many were made.
The girl from the Meng family is really a vixen. I don't know what seductive tricks she used. How long has it been since she divorced that illegitimate son of the Shang family? She couldn't help but hook up with other men after such a long time. "
Upon hearing this, Father Gu frowned and scolded, "Our Gu family and the Meng family have never had a close relationship. At your age, why are you still talking nonsense in front of Ah Ci?!"
Liu Lingyi took a breath. She certainly knew there was no need to provoke the Meng family.
But when she thought about yesterday's report and the fact that Pei Sui had just brought food to Meng Sheng, she became furious.
Gu Ci didn't care about what Liu Lingyi said, and her focus was different.
She moved her fingers, her expression unchanged, but there was a hint of doubt in her tone, "Mom, are you saying that Director Meng is also in this hospital? Why is she in the hospital for no reason?"
Liu Lingyi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Father Gu, and then said to the nanny, "Go out and ask around."
The nanny agreed and left.
Ten minutes later, she came back and said, "Sir, Madam, Miss, the nurse said that Miss Meng's father is also hospitalized in this hospital, just upstairs from us, in Ward 3088."
Hospitalized?
Gu Ci asked, "What illness has her father been hospitalized for?"
The nanny said, "It's stomach cancer."
Gastric cancer?
Gu Ci was slightly startled, her lips tightly pursed into a line.
The color on his face seemed to fade, making him look even paler.
Seeing this, Liu Lingyi quickly asked, "Aci, what's wrong?"
Gu Ci paused, came to his senses, calmed himself, and shook his head gently.
She said naturally, "No, I just... I didn't expect that Director Meng's father would encounter such a thing, and I didn't know it. It was she who sent me to the hospital last time. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would..."
Liu Lingyi immediately interrupted her and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Ci coughed twice. "Ahem, Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. I should have thanked Director Meng last time. Please prepare the gifts for me. When I feel better, I'll go see her father."
Liu Lingyi patted her on the back to calm her down, and said helplessly, "You are just too kind. She seduced Ah Sui..."
Gu Ci grabbed her hand and said softly again, "Mom, Director Meng is a girl, you can't say such harsh words. If this rumor gets out, her reputation will be ruined. How sad she will be.
What’s more, she was hurt in her previous marriage.”
Gu Ci smiled, tightened his grip on her hand a little, slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice sounded vague and hoarse.
"It's not up to anyone else to decide who Ah Sui likes. Aunt Cui can't... Grandma Pei... can't either, let alone us. It was my fault in the beginning that I hurt Ah Sui.
Even though I have returned safely now, my body is still weak..."
Seeing her like this, Liu Lingyi felt so distressed that she hugged her in her arms.
She choked up and said, "When you were diagnosed with leukemia, you just didn't want to implicate Ah Sui. You also had your own difficulties. Ah Sui... Ah Sui must understand you. How could she possibly fall in love with Meng Sheng, that vixen?"
Besides, you and he grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and he has been so protective of you since you were little. Ah Ci, don't be afraid, your father and I, as well as the entire Gu family, are behind you."
Gu Ci leaned on her chest and said slowly, "Well, I know, you are behind me. But don't scold Director Meng, Director Meng is not wrong."
Liu Lingyi was furious when she heard that she was still speaking for Meng Sheng at this time.
I just feel that my silly daughter is so naive.

Meng Sheng didn't know that Pei Sui went to see Gu Ci later.
When she returned to the ward carrying two bags, the nurse had just removed the needle and taken Meng Chengli's temperature.
Qiu Yi was a little surprised to see the thermos bag and the thermos bucket in her hand, and quickly reached out to take them, "Meng Meng, where did you get these?"
Meng Chengli, who was leaning on the bed, also looked at her unexpectedly.
Facing two inquiring gazes, Meng Sheng froze for a moment. If he told the truth, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
Her current relationship with Pei Sui...
But...I just didn't want to lie to the two of them.
After thinking about it, he could only vaguely say, "A friend sent it to me. Come, eat it while it's hot. Did Dad have any rejection after the injection?"
The nurse nearby was also very considerate and helped set up the folding dining table, then took the thermos bucket.
The answer was, "Uncle Meng's condition is stable."
After saying that, he poured out a small portion of the porridge and began to feed Meng Chengli with a spoon.
Meng Sheng was slightly relieved to see that she had been fooled. However, when she saw that it was carrot, minced meat and millet porridge, a slight ripple still spread in her heart.
It can be seen that Pei Sui spent a lot of time and thought on this porridge.
While she was in a daze, she heard Qiu Yi exclaim, "Wow, it's so exquisite, Meng Meng, your friend is really good at making breakfast, this can be sold in high-end Western or Chinese restaurants."
Meng Sheng pulled his thoughts back from the porridge and fixed his eyes on the four food-preserving boxes that Qiu Yi had opened.
The things inside are neatly arranged.
There was the small sandwich she had eaten last time, a halved soft-boiled egg, a small pan-fried bun, vegetable shrimp cakes, and luncheon meat on toast.
Next to it is red bean oat milk in three disposable boxes.
Qiuyi was right. These four boxes of stuff could really be sold.
Pei Sui seemed to have spent as much effort on this breakfast as on the porridge.
She suppressed the slight throbbing in her heart and looked at the four slightly large food containers. It would be a waste if only she and Qiu Yi couldn't finish them.
She did not hesitate and gave a box to the caregiver.
After finishing her meal, she dragged out Pei Sui's chat dialog box from WeChat: [Thank you, the breakfast was delicious. There was too much breakfast, so I gave some to the nurse.]
Pei Sui was probably driving at that time, and he replied with a voice message. Meng Sheng did not click on it, but converted it into text.
[Well, since it's made for you, you can give it to anyone you want, you don't have to tell me specifically. Are you going back to the Left Bank Garden today? ]
She obviously didn't turn on the sound, but just by looking at the text, she seemed to be able to imagine the tone of voice she used when she said this.
It must be clear and light.
Meng Sheng curled his lips slightly and typed back: [I probably can’t get back. I’ll wash the thermos bucket and food storage box and bring them back to you tomorrow.]
Pei Sui still replied: [Okay. Don't worry about the food storage box. You can return it anytime.]
After Meng Sheng agreed, he took the lunch box and prepared to wash it, but the nurse snatched it away and told him to wash it himself.
After all, I ate their food for nothing.
She had no choice but to chat with Meng Chengli by the bed for a while, then said hello and prepared to get up and go to the next ward.
Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Professor Fu's daughter?"
Meng Sheng, "Well, Sister Qiuyi, do you know her?"
Qiu Yi shook her head, "I don't know him, I'm just a little surprised that he actually has a daughter."
Meng Chengli hesitated for a moment, then looked at her expression and finally didn't ask any more questions. "Since you've promised her, then go ahead."
Meng Sheng didn't explain and just nodded.
