After a moment, the door of the ward was opened.
Guo Shijing came out with his head buried, his cheeks red and swollen, his hair messy, and his clothes torn in two holes, looking quite embarrassed.
Everyone looked at him and quickly looked away.
Guo Shijing leaned against the ward door, too embarrassed to look up at anyone.
"Aqi!" Director Guo shouted.
Gu Qi stood up and walked into the ward with a straight back.
He did not ignore the ferocious and vigilant look that Guo Shijing was staring at him with, but just frowned, then calmly walked past him and entered the ward.
Director Guo sat on the hospital bed, gasping for breath, his face flushed and his neck thick, his chest heaving slightly, obviously he was very angry.
Mrs. Guo, who was standing aside, wiped her tears with red eyes. The cheongsam she was wearing was colorful and festive, but it was a pity that it was not appropriate at all at this moment.
Gu Qi walked in lightly and nodded slightly: "Director, Madam."
Mrs. Guo nodded randomly.
Director Guo waved to him and said weakly: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Gu Qi stepped forward.
Director Guo frowned and asked, "What is the relationship between that girl and your family? Your sister said she is her elder sister? Is she your second sister?"
Mrs. Guo at the side suddenly turned her head and stared at Gu Qi in disbelief.
Gu Qi shook his head calmly, "No, my second sister is Gu Xuan. She and my mother are both in Beijing and are preparing for the college entrance examination. The one who made trouble this morning is my youngest sister, Gu Miao. She is sixteen years old and has just graduated from junior high school. She is the youngest in the family and has been spoiled by my mother since she was a child. She is stupid and has no sense of propriety."
After hearing this, Director Guo frowned even more deeply: "Who is that woman...?"
"Qin Tiantian." Gu Qi answered: "She is the daughter of an old sister of my mother. She is usually close to my younger sister. She is also from Shangjing City. When someone asked before, my wife said that she was a fellow villager from Shangjing City."
"No blood relationship? Just fellow villagers?" asked Director Guo.
Gu Qi shook his head: "No, we are just familiar fellow villagers."
Director Guo thought for a moment and asked again: "You also know about this, right? She is from your hometown, so she must be close to you here."
"No." Gu Qi evaded the question: "When I came to Yucheng, Qin Tiantian was still a little sister. At that time, the two families didn't interact much. My wife and I were not very familiar with her, and she was only close to my little sister. My little sister came to visit last week, and it's been about six or seven days."
Director Guo raised his eyebrows and asked emphatically, "I mean this matter - do you know about it?"
"Yes." Gu Qi replied: "Many people in the factory have spread the news. I only learned about this from the first few apprentices."
Director Guo felt a throbbing pain on his forehead and held his temple with trembling hands.
"A lot of people? Haha! Even you, who usually doesn't like gossiping, know about it. I think everyone in the factory should know about it - no, I'm the only one who doesn't know about it."
Gu Qi glanced at him and secretly felt sympathy for him.
"Old Guo, food and sex are human nature, and love between men and women is also human nature. Section Chief Shi Jing kept it from you because he was probably afraid that you would be angry if you knew."
Director Guo sneered, "Yes! I will definitely be angry! But if he could tell me the truth, I might not be so angry! My own son got into trouble, and all the employees in the factory knew it clearly, except me! He was blinded by one thing! He is really amazing! He is just a small section chief, but he can scare all the workers in the factory! So amazing, so impressive!"
Guo Shijing, who was listening at the door, shrank his head.
Mrs. Guo loved her son dearly. Although she did not dare to go out to see him, she could not help but say a few good words for him.
"His father, don't confuse them all at once. Ah Jing is not childish. He is probably like what Gu Qi just said - he is just afraid that you and I will be angry, so he has kept it a secret."
Director Guo said in a gruff voice: "Don't dare to say it?! Can you not say it? How old is he? A three-year-old child knows that everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions! He doesn't understand?! If you don't say it, others won't know? If you don't say it, this matter won't be solved?! If you do it, you have to admit it. This is what a real man should do! Look at how cowardly he is!"
Seeing that he was still very angry, Mrs. Guo dared not speak any more.
My son was really wrong this time, otherwise the old man wouldn't be so angry.
I don't know what's so good about that vixen in the capital? She could make her son so confused!
He has already caused such a stir before he even entered the house! It's obvious that he is a troublemaker!
Gu Qi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Old Guo, don't be angry. You must remember what the doctor told you. You have a great responsibility and you must take good care of your body. Once you fall ill, most things in the factory will be delayed and stagnant."
Director Guo has always regarded his career and factory as more important than his own life. Thinking of the responsibilities on his shoulders, he had to control his temper and calm down a little.
He lay back and Gu Qi came forward, pulled up the big pillow, and helped him sit up.
Old Guo sighed deeply and gestured to the stool beside the bed.
"Archie, sit down. I have something to ask you."
Gu Qi nodded, took two steps back and sat down.
Director Guo narrowed his eyes and asked, "This Qin Tiantian - what does her family do? What is her parents' occupation? Does she have many brothers and sisters?"
Gu Qi simply answered, "Her father works for a small company in our area, and her mother takes care of the housework. She doesn't have many brothers and sisters, only her and an older brother. I've only been back to my hometown once in the past few years, so I don't know much about their current situation. I only know that Qin Tiantian graduated from high school last year, and her brother is working outside to make money and has not yet returned home."
"High school graduate." Director Guo nodded slowly. "Parents who can let their daughter go to high school must also value education."
Mrs. Guo, who was standing by, was a little anxious and asked, "Does your family have a clean history? Don't tell me they are some messy family!"
Gu Qi thought for a moment and answered, "Her ancestors were all from the capital, an ordinary white-collar family, and I haven't heard of any messy background."
Mrs. Guo asked, "What is your family background? Do you have any relatives or loved ones with a good background?"
"Get out of the way." Director Guo glared at his wife and whispered, "Why are you meddling in this? I haven't finished asking my question yet, why are you butting in? What are you asking for now? What were you doing before? Why didn't you persuade your cowardly son? Now I just hope that the other party's family is decent and has a clean background, and that they are not from a bad family background."
Mrs. Guo stopped talking awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.
"I...I just want to understand more clearly. After all, this is a major event in my son's life."
Director Guo ignored her and turned sideways to look at Gu Qi.
"What kind of people are her parents? Are they decent people?"
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and answered, "When I was a child, our two families were quite close, but I was still ignorant at that time. Her father had a wide circle of friends and was very friendly, and he often earned some agency fees. He introduced tenants to our old house in the suburbs. Her mother and my mother were both considered market women, and we were married girls from the same place, so we would interact from time to time."
Director Guo's eyes dimmed and he understood immediately.
"Yes, I roughly understand what you said."
Gu Qi stood up and bowed.
"Old Guo, I'm sorry. My little sister is ill-educated and said nonsense. I sincerely apologize to you on her behalf. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will bring her to apologize to you in person."
Director Guo gave a bitter smile and gave up helplessly.
"It's not your fault, why are you here to apologize? In the final analysis, it's not your little sister's fault, it's the unfilial boy next door who is at fault. What your little sister said is true... She's even pregnant, but she still doesn't want to marry him - what else is that if not irresponsible? That boy did such a shameless thing, it's because we, as parents, didn't educate him well, so who else can we blame?"
