She knew it! With Pei Sui bringing her dad food every day or two, he was bound to spoil his palate.
Now, even the food cooked by the nanny doesn't taste appetizing anymore.
The nannies all felt helpless and aggrieved.
Meng Chengli also recalled that the day before Pei Sui went on his business trip, he and Sheng Sheng came to the hospital to have lunch with him.
Pei Sui then prepared a dish of rock sugar turtle, steamed pork ribs with dried bean curd, steamed egg with morel mushrooms, beef and pineapple soup, and a vegetable and red date and barley porridge.
Because of his health condition, he only ate two or three bites of the turtle and beef pineapple soup before his daughter stopped him, and he only got a taste.
Then, while he ate his vegetables and porridge, he watched as the two of them devoured the turtle and other dishes completely.
He wasn't usually a glutton and wasn't too picky about food, but this time he probably didn't get enough, so he kept thinking about it and asking Pei Sui to make it again when he came back.
But he couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would seem like he was treating his son-in-law like a cook.
That's so presumptuous of me.
Now that his daughter has pointed it out, he realizes that she's clearly making fun of him.
After nearly a month of systematic rehabilitation training, his physical condition has improved significantly, and even his protein levels have increased.
He didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer, but Fu Chen said that if he continued to recover as he had this month, he could be discharged in about three months. As for rehabilitation training, he could do it at home, as long as he had regular check-ups every month.
"You're just greedy."
Meng Chengli glanced at her sideways and said, "If you want to eat, find a restaurant to satisfy your craving first, and then have him cook it properly when he gets back."
Meng Sheng: "..."
Isn't this a case of turning the tables?
Helplessly, she held the peeled pear to his lips. "Okay, I'll go eat it when I have time, and I'll compare the quality of the restaurant's pear with Ah Sui's."
After he ate a few pieces, Meng Sheng finished the rest of the pear and casually said, "Oh, by the way, Pei Sui's grandmother and older brother will be coming to visit you tomorrow morning."
In fact, after Pei Sui returned to the west of the city, the old lady planned to come to the south of the city the day after meeting the Cen family.
However, he couldn't come because he was feeling unwell. Pei Yu did come four days ago to inquire about Meng Chengli's health.
Regarding Cui Xueheng's actions that caused him to suffer a stroke, the Pei family has done their utmost in terms of both attitude and behavior, demonstrating their utmost sincerity.
"Has his mother recovered?"
"I called yesterday and they said it's all better now."
A few days ago, the old lady called her, first apologizing and then expressing her gratitude for giving Pei Sui a chance, and also thanking her for her kindness.
The old lady was a very cultured person. She spoke softly and gently, and was very kind, making people feel at ease with her.
Meng Sheng also wanted to thank her for her kindness and gentleness.
Someone like Madam Pei, who has held a high position and had been wealthy and powerful for decades, should have been a little arrogant, but she showed no arrogance whatsoever.
Sometimes she thinks that children raised by such elderly people must be very gentle, strong, emotionally stable, responsible, and good at solving problems.
And that is indeed the case.
Beneath Pei Sui's cold and aloof exterior lies a heart that craves love and care, and is capable of loving others.
He is meticulous, considerate, gentle, reliable, and tolerant, which gives him a great sense of security.
He did a good enough job in every aspect.
For example, all her passwords, profile pictures, phone wallpapers, personal laptops, etc. on all platforms are either group photos with them or solo photos of her.
Even in his office, there's a framed photo of them together, subtly telling the world that he's taken.
Thinking of these things, Meng Sheng couldn't help but smile slightly.
The next morning at 9:30, Old Madam Pei and Pei Yu arrived with gifts. This time, the atmosphere was not as tense and strained as before; instead, it was exceptionally harmonious and relaxed, with everyone wearing smiles.
Meng Sheng secretly took a photo and sent it to Pei Sui: [This looks like a meeting between the two families to discuss the wedding date, except the location is wrong.]
Because of the time difference, it is 8:30 pm in the eastern United States.
When Pei Sui received the message, he was still socializing. It wasn't until 9:30 that he saw it. His phoenix eyes, slightly hazy from the smell of alcohol, tilted upwards, revealing a deep smile.
He took a deep breath and was about to type when five foreign men and women walked over.
One of the blonde, well-built foreign women, wearing a strapless dress, asked him in fluent American English, "Pei, are you alright? Are you drunk?"
Pei Sui had no choice but to put away his phone for the time being and nodded calmly in reply, "It's alright, thank you for your concern, Miss Ivy."
Another man asked him, "Pei, I saw you laughing just now. I've known you for so long and I've never seen you laugh like that before. Did your girlfriend text you?"
Pei Sui smiled and said, "Yes, my girlfriend shared a very interesting photo."
Ivy was a little surprised. "So you already have a girlfriend? I was just wondering if I had a chance. Looks like I don't. Pei, you're so handsome and outstanding, your girlfriend must be very beautiful and excellent too."
Pei Sui looked at her, his gaze lingering, his voice tinged with a smile, "Even without me, she is just as beautiful and outstanding. She is unique."
Hearing this, the others also praised him and joked that he must love his girlfriend very much.
Pei Sui replied confidently, "Yes, I love it very much."
You don't understand how good and charming his Ah Sheng is.
After saying goodbye to them, he took out his phone again to reply to her message on the way back to the hotel: "You said yesterday that your dad should be able to be discharged from the hospital in about three months. After he's discharged, I'll go to the Meng family to propose marriage."
When Meng Sheng saw this message, her heart pounded like a perpetual motion machine.
Even though she was no longer a young girl in her early twenties and had even been married once, she still couldn't help but feel excited and joyful when she saw Pei Sui's "marriage proposal".
She could see sincerity and love in Pei Sui's very ordinary words.
She hadn't planned to upgrade their relationship to marriage so quickly, but now she suddenly had second thoughts.
She had a strange feeling that even if she and Pei Sui got married, there wouldn't be many conflicts or bitterness, only sweetness and happiness.
The shadow of the previous marriage vanished the moment that ray of warm sunlight shone down.
She seemed to have lost her hearing, but then again, she could still clearly hear what Pei Sui had said to her before.
It took her a long while to regain her composure: "Hmm? Attorney Pei's proposal was a bit insincere; he didn't even bring a ring."
