Qi Feng sat in the car and watched this scene from afar. His eyes dimmed slightly before swiftly returning to normal.
“Morrison, go check on what’s happening between my father and Qi Lei.”
Qi Feng’s instincts were telling him that this scene looked a little odd. The other day at the Grand Lakes Villa area in Qi Lei’s house, the way Qi Lei had bitterly detested the Qi family did not seem like something he could have faked, so why would he compromise with Qi Qiming now? What had Qi Lei said to Qi Qiming this morning?
Morrison’s expression was grim the moment Qi Feng’s voice fell and he immediately nodded. “Understood!”
The reporters and media cameras kept on taking pictures of Qi Qiming as they all swarmed up and wanted to ask about the rumors, but they were blocked off by the bodyguards. Gu Lingsha smiled wryly and went up to them, handing a bouquet to Qi Qiming.
“Uncle Qi, congratulations on getting discharged. Ah Feng’s in the car. He was worried that it wouldn’t be convenient.”
Qi Qiming nodded gladly. “Alright, let’s get home first.”
“Mmm, the food’s been prepared at home. Let’s head back.”
All of them swiftly got into the car. Qi Lei personally helped Qi Qiming from his wheelchair, and carefully a.s.sisted him to get seated in the car. You could not even tell that the two of them were acting.
The line of cars left the hospital quietly. The swarming reporters wanted to get a little more scoop, but it looked like they had no choice except to leave.
At this moment, inside the black Phaeton that was parked by the roadside not too far away, Mu Yuchen was seated in the back seat as he watched this scene calmly.
“Master, Qi Feng was in that car earlier. I heard that Qi Qiming’s planning on holding a high-level meeting at Qi Kai tomorrow. It’s probably to discuss on ways to resolve this crisis. From the way Qi Qiming appeared, he didn’t seem too worried. Perhaps he has a way of resolving the crisis this time just with the father and son reconciling with each other. Qi Kai’s shares seem to be a little…” Li Si rambled.
“He obviously has a plan. It’s actually very simple. As long as the Qis and the Gus are connected by marriage, all the problems will be easily solved. Don’t underestimate the Gu family. There is Doris right there. Even Gu Qiwu is wary against the woman.”
The one who had spoken was Ah Mo who had just rushed back from City B that morning and gone straight to the hospital as soon as he landed.
Upon hearing that, Li Si’s expression s.h.i.+fted. He instantly said, “But those aristocrats wouldn’t have that much power, would they?”
“We’ll see, but I did manage to find out some things. I heard that Doris doesn’t seem too happy about Qi Weier. Maybe she finds her troublesome. Because of this, Doris had a fight with Gu Lingsha before. Even up till recent times, the mother and daughter are still on bad terms. In fact, before the child was born, knowing what could happen if she gave birth to her, Gu Qiwu once asked Gu Lingsha to abort the child, but Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha objected strongly, so…” Ah Mo briefly explained all that he knew about the situation to Mu Yuchen and Li Si.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
“Because of Qi Weier, they’re on bad terms? Doris is still quite happy with Qi Feng, isn’t she? Master, I remember that back then, Doris seemed quite happy with you being her son-in-law, and she was not quite agreeable to Gu Lingsha being with Qi Feng. Now that Qi Feng’s legs are crippled, would Doris agree to their marriage?” Li Si asked, puzzled.
When Li Si brought this up, Ah Mo paused, then said, “We can’t say for sure. After all, they do have a daughter. If Qi Feng can take over Qi Kai, I think Doris wouldn’t object. In fact, Gu Lingsha was loyal to Qi Feng. Despite being crippled, she could stay by his side all these years. Just this fact alone does make me quite admire her.”
There was no ill intention in Ah Mo’s tone, and Li Si suddenly did not quite know what to say.
“Drive,” said Mu Yuchen, who had been quiet all the while. Then, he averted his gaze to continue flipping through the magazine on his lap.
“Okay!” Ah Mo responded and hastily started the car.
When the car drove into Glory World, it was already past 11 a.m. Mu Yuchen had to make his way to Car City for a meeting on some chain stores with a partner, so he had gone over to prepare some materials. Just as he reached his office, he saw his father, Mu Tangchuan!
“Father? Why are you here?”
Mu Yuchen was clearly surprised. Although Mu Tangchuan held a high position, he was usually very low-profile and cautious, and he rarely appeared in public like this. Usually, he would just go to his office, so outsiders rarely saw such a scene where both father and son were together.
When Mu Tangchuan saw Mu Yuchen, there was a loving warmth in his eyes. “I came over for an inspection. Coincidentally, I was pa.s.sing by, so I came up to take a look. Have you had lunch?”
Mu Yuchen recalled that it was past 11a.m. now, so he said, “Not yet, but since you’re here, let’s have lunch together then.”
Mu Tangchuan nodded and said happily, “Let’s go then. We’ll chat as we walk.”
The father and son walking together obviously attracted much attention. Mu Tangchuan maintained himself rather well. He appeared energetic and did not seem old. Furthermore, that face of his was similar to Mu Yuchen’s, making people think they were brothers. When they asked about, they were astonished to find out that he was Chairman Mu’s father. Was he not the one in the provincial office?
The father and son went to the Bamboo Maple Forest Tavern where Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had met the first time. It was also a place that Mu Tangchuan frequented.
The father and son sat across each other. Mu Tangchuan watched as his son elegantly poured them drinks as he commented, “The two of us haven’t sat down for a good meal alone in a while now, have we?”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen paused. After a while, he smiled. “It’s been quite a while with Mother too. The two of you are usually quite busy with work. Sometimes, these things get neglected,” he said as he handed Mu Tangchuan the drink.
Mu Tangchuan asked warmly, “How’s Xiaye? Your mother said she’ll go visit at noon. Why didn’t you tell the family sooner? Qi Feng’s becoming more and more reckless. You should be more careful yourself.”
“She’s fine. The doctor said this morning that she can go home tomorrow. She’ll rest for a few more days at home. The wound’s not too severe, so don’t worry,” Mu Yuchen answered calmly, but Mu Tangchuan easily caught a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes.
