Shang Shichang couldn't sit still any longer and put down his chopsticks: "I'm not feeling well, I'm going upstairs to lie down for a while. You guys take your time eating. Ah Yan, come upstairs with me!"
Before anyone could react, she got up and went upstairs.
Shang Yan slowly took a bite of food before following them.
The sudden departure of the father and son brought the already tense atmosphere to its peak.
To ease the tension, Yu Jing served Gu Ye a bowl of soup.
"Gu Ye, have some soup."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Gu Ye took the hot pot from Yu Jing and deliberately asked, "There seems to be something strange between Dad and my brother. Did they have a fight?"
Yu Jing's face showed a hint of unease, and then she said, "The two of them have been arguing fiercely about a company decision lately. I don't understand business matters, so I can't offer any advice."
Gu Ye didn't believe Yu Jing's words, but he still said, "I knew they were acting strangely."
After saying that, he served a bowl of soup to Yu Jing and Yu Sheng respectively.
Then, when picking up the braised ribbonfish, she pretended that she hadn't held it properly and it fell onto her shirt.
The shirt was white, making the greasy stains particularly noticeable.
Yu Jing looked at Yu Sheng: "Sheng Sheng, go ask your brother to borrow a shirt and let Gu Ye change into it first. They are about the same size, so he can definitely fit into it."
Yu Sheng responded and stood up, but Gu Ye grabbed her arm.
When she looked at him, he said, "No need, I have a spare shirt in my car, I'll go get it."
Yu Jing: "That works too!"
After Gu Ye left, Yu Jing whispered to Yu Sheng, "You absolutely must not tell Gu Ye that A Yan has fallen for a married woman!"
"I know!"
Yu Sheng responded and asked, "When will Professor Charles perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng?"
"Professor Charles is very busy lately, so it will probably be a while."
Upon hearing Yu Jing's words, Yu Sheng frowned: "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? Professor Charles is very busy preparing for a brain consciousness research project!"
Yu Sheng had seen this in the news and knew that Yu Jing wasn't making things up.
Follow-up question: "When will he be finished?"
Yu Jing replied in a nonchalant tone, "I don't know. He just said he would contact us when he was done with his work."
Yu Sheng thought,
After she and Gu Ye hold their banquet, Charles will immediately perform surgery on Xiao Cheng.
As Yu Jing just said, it is still unknown when Charles will be able to perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng!
This ignited a fire of anger within her.
She stared at Yu Jing for a while and said, "Mom, you're not trying to prevent Professor Charles from performing the surgery on Xiao Cheng to avoid me divorcing Gu Ye, are you?"
Yu Jing naturally wouldn't admit it; she flatly denied it: "Of course not!"
Seeing Yu Sheng's disbelieving expression, she said indirectly, "The longer Xiao Cheng lies there, the more medical expenses I have to pay. What else could I do with that money? It would be a waste. So, naturally, I'd rather he have the surgery sooner than you do!"
Even after Yu Jing put it this way, Yu Sheng still didn't believe her.
At that moment, Gu also returned.
The mother and daughter stopped talking there.
Yu Jing looked at Gu Ye: "Go change in Yu Sheng's room!"
"Okay, I'll go upstairs and change, then I'll come down."
Gu finished speaking with a smile and then walked upstairs.
After going upstairs, he walked very quietly.
Instead of going to Yu Sheng's room, he headed towards Shang Shichang's bedroom.
Just as he reached the door, a crisp slap echoed from inside, followed by Shang Shichang's roar: "If you don't break up with that married woman, I'll sever our father-son relationship!"
Even if Ren Gu was smart, he couldn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Shang Shichang's words.
Before he could even think, he heard someone walking towards the entrance. He quickly slipped into Yu Sheng's room and saw through a small crack that Shang Yan was coming out of Shang Shichang's room, his face cold and stern.
He closed the door, changed his clothes, and pondered the meaning of Shang Shichang's words.
Could it be that... Shang Yan is having an affair with a married woman?
That's unlikely, isn't it?
Although he thought it was impossible, he also thought it would be very interesting if it were true!
Gu thought about it for a while and then called Li Siyan.
Li Siyan was both surprised and delighted to receive Gu Ye's call. Thinking of the message he sent that night, she deliberately pretended to be indifferent: "Is there something you need?"
Gu Ye and Li Siyan grew up together and knew her personality, so he deliberately said, "Oh, who made our Miss Li unhappy?"
"It's all your fault!"
When did I offend anyone?
Hearing him say that, Li Siyan immediately became angry: "That night, I sent you a WeChat message asking which dress looked good, have you forgotten what you told me?"
Gu Ye pretended not to remember: "What did you say?"
"You said I have no sense of propriety, and told me not to text you unless it's necessary, so your wife won't misunderstand. Are you kidding me? Did I send you anything flirtatious that would make your wife misunderstand?"
Li Siyan is still furious when she thinks about it.
Gu also smiled and said, "My wife was there at the time, so I had to show my loyalty."
"..." Li Siyan gritted her teeth, "If you want to show your loyalty, why did you call me?"
"I need your help!"
Although Li Siyan was very angry, she still asked, "What is it?"
Li Bu had indeed encountered some problems dealing with the government recently, which happened to fall under the jurisdiction of Li Siyan's father. However, he originally did not intend to ask her father to resolve the issue. Now that he wanted to inquire about other matters, he used this matter as an excuse.
"Can you try to put in a good word with your dad and see if this can be done?"
