Gi Qiwu noticed when Qi Feng arrived behind him, so he uttered when the latter stopped right behind him, “You’re here.”
“Uncle Gu,” Qi Feng greeted him quietly.
“How’s your recovery coming along?”Gu Qiwu turned over and glanced at him as he asked.
Qi Feng nodded. “I’m doing well. I’ve been back for some time already, so I’ve grown accustomed to it.”
“How’s Weiwei?” Gu Qiwu was pretty concerned about Qi Weier. Over the years, he had spent a lot of effort to help Qi Weier maintain her health.
Qi Feng started smiling proudly. “She’s great. I’m trying to find her a school recently. She’s already five years old now, and I want her to grow up like a normal child. I’ve talked to a doctor who said being involved in a public setting will help with her psychological state and illness.”
Gu Qiwu sighed since he was very well-informed about Qi Weier’s condition from before. “You two have to talk to her more frequently. Lingsha is overly paranoid about her.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Gu. I’ll take good care of him,” Qi Feng affirmed.
With a nod, Gu Qiwu looked downwards at the beautiful scenery. “I know what happened to Qi Kai. What do you plan to do?”
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard Gu Qiwu’s question. As he took off his sungla.s.ses, he put on a bitter smile, lowering his head and staring at his legs. “What do you think I can do in my current state?”
Gu Qiwu found Qi Feng’s words interesting, so he turned towards him, appearing like his usual self again.
“Your current state? Ah Feng, you gave me the impression of an ambitious man. Your father is still in the hospital, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to take care of this mess, and that useless Qi Lei can do nothing but hide. At a critical moment like this, don’t tell me you’re just going to sit and watch Qi Kai fall!”
“What can I do when I’m like this?”
Qi Feng’s eyes darkened, and Gu Qiwu noticed every bit of his expression.
“Ah Feng, you’re a smart person. Are you sure you have no idea at all?” Gu Qiwu gave Qi Feng a long, sharp stare. He wanted to know what he was feeling at the moment, but Qi Feng seemed really stoic as if he was not interested in anything.
Qi Feng just let Gu Qiwu stare at him as he looked straight into his eyes. “I’d like to know what you have in mind, but I just want to be a normal person right now. I’m afraid that I’m incapable of solving this issue even if I were to attempt to do so.”
“That’s enough, Ah Feng. I’m sure you understand why your father wants you to return now. There’s no point for you to hide anything from me considering our relationship at the moment. You know very well that it’s not impossible to get Qi Kai to safety, don’t you?” Gu Qiwu was getting more straightforward now.
Qi Feng raised his eyebrows, shooting Gu Qiwu a humble glance. “Please enlighten me.”
Gu Qiwu looked away as he tried to hide the cold smirk in his eyes. He managed to maintain a calm tone as he said, “Both your father and I are getting old. Sooner or later, I’ll pa.s.s the Hui Gu Corporation to Lingsha anyway. Both you and Lingsha have been together for many years while Weiwei is already this old, so isn’t it about time to consider marriage?”
However, Gu Qiwu did not notice the sudden darkness emerging in Qi Feng’s eyes when he mentioned the marriage because it faded soon after that.
“Uncle Gu does have the same thoughts as me. I’ve already thought about it before I even came back. I was waiting for things to settle down before proposing marriage officially, but I don’t think I have the time or effort to do it now that this has happened. Please forgive me, Uncle Gu. I suppose this can only wait until the end of this problematic situation.” Qi Feng’s tone sounded extremely genuine. “I don’t want her to marry me and suffer.”
Gu Qiwu gave him another sharp stare, his expression softening slightly after that as he could tell Qi Feng was being genuine. “It’s great that you have those thoughts, but you should understand that a marriage between the heir of the Gu family and the Qi family can very well solve this crisis. Moreover, this could secure your position in Qi Kai easily, suppressing Qi Lei’s forces once and for all. What do you think?”
Gu Qiwi’s words made Qi Feng’s eyes darken and he did not reply. “There are still some considerations to think about,” Qi Feng replied after a while.
“Considerations? You mean Qi Lei?” Gu Qiwu gave him a meaningful look.
Qi Feng did not say anything. He took a deep breath and put his sungla.s.ses back on, but his expression did not seem very pleased.
Gu Qiwu did not say anything either and just observed him quietly. Some time later, he put on an odd smile as he asked, “Why don’t you tell me who you think did this?”
Qi Feng hesitated for a while before giving an ambiguous answer, “There aren’t many people capable of planning this whole thing.”
“Do you mean Mu Yuchen?” Gu Qiwu instantly deciphered the key message in Qi Feng’s words.
Qi Feng did not answer. He just put on a mysterious smile as he looked at Gu Qiwu. “It seems like you thought about him too, Uncle Gu…It’s not impossible. He has always been a strong compet.i.tor. Even I am impressed. Both you and my father underestimated him six years ago. Thankfully, Aunty helped afterward, or else…”
Gu Qiwu’s expression darkened instantly when the past incident was brought up.
