1226 Dream-like Reunion! 1
Ah Yong was obviously worried about Gu Qiwu being like this. He thought about it before he said, “Boss, I’ll go look for medicine for you. Have some rest first.”
Earlier, he had been discharged from the hospital in quite a rush. In fact, he had been overworking as of late, so these old illnesses were popping up again. It was a good thing that Ah Yong continued to take care of him. Otherwise…
Gu Qiwu did not say anything and just nodded while his brows had furrowed into a knot.
Ah Yong found the medicine quickly and poured him a gla.s.s of water too. He looked at Gu Qiwu, thought about it, and finally could not help but express, “Boss, I think you should rest well. The company matters can’t be rushed either. With the current situation, it’s better to not change much in the face of many changes. You haven’t rested in a long while now. Even if you want to…it might not be what the other person wants. Miss Mu Lingshi is hard to persuade. I’ve been trying to understand this. I think that Xi Xiaye’s a very sensitive person. If we can persuade her, perhaps everything else will come much easier.”
Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu paused and looked up at Ah Yong, indicating for him to continue.
“Boss, this is the breakthrough that I found only after long observation. If we thought that Mu Yuchen doesn’t have any weak points from before, right now, we can say that Xi Xiaye is his weak point. Humble and reserved, gentle and cruel, loyal to kinships, meticulous in thought…that is the kind of person Mu Yuchen is. Only a few people matter to him. He may not care about Glory World or Fuhua, but he definitely cares about Xi Xiaye.”
At this, Ah Yong paused. He lowered his gaze, arranged his thoughts, and then continued, “While Xi Xiaye is kindhearted with a warm heart despite her cold exterior, the only way to move someone like her is love. I heard that the reason Miss Lingshi could slowly open up and talk about those things and accept Mu Lingmo again was largely because of her. Her experiences made her feel deeply. If we have her help to influence Mu Lingshi, I think Miss Lingshi might accept you as her father, but, Boss, I don’t know what you’re thinking…”
Ah Yong expressed all his thoughts.
These days, he had been watching things unfold. He felt that his boss cared quite a bit for his daughter, Mu Lingshi, but for some reason, the concern he displayed appeared to be the kind of concern that was intentionally watered down.
“Xi Xiaye is Mu Yuchen’s breakthrough. As long as Mu Yuchen agrees, the problem with the Mu family won’t be a problem. It should be time to resolve our grudges that have been going for decades now.”
Gu Qiwu did not say anything for a long time after Ah Yong finished. He just silently lowered his head to drink water.
Gu Qiwu’s fingers brushed his heavy head as he asked with a lowered voice, “Mu Lingshi is still my daughter with Zixi. I’ve let her down for so many years. Obviously, I wouldn’t want my daughter to suffer so much. It might not have been good for her to return to the Gu family so soon those years ago either. Ah Yong, what do you think I’ve been fighting for?”
“Boss…” When Ah Yong heard that, he did not know how to answer.
“Actually, I don’t know either. All my life, I have been plotting and struggling against being plotted by others. Forget it. Let’s not talk about these things. It’s too hard to try changing someone. We’ll just see how it goes,” Gu Qiwu sighed and said helplessly.
“Boss, what should we do now then? Miss Lingsha is still being detained at the police station…Master Ah Feng and CEO Qi are worried about Qi Kai. They probably don’t have time to worry about that right now, but I’m sure Missus is worried about it,” Ah Yong said.
“I didn’t want to care too much about that. They caused that trouble, so they’ll have to resolve it themselves. I already told her back then not to provoke Mu Yuchen anymore. Haven’t I covered up for them enough?” At this point, Gu Qiwu’s tone could not help but sound cold.
“Boss…”
“Alright, let’s just leave it at that for now. We’ll see how it pans out,” Gu Qiwu answered though he could not help but worry.
Doris, that vicious, mad woman!
“Yes, Boss!”
…
At the Grand Lake Villa, underneath the flower racks of Qi Lei’s villa’s backyard, Qi Lei was casually spending time while lying on his rattan chair when Yang Sheng’s voice came from behind. “Master Qi, CEO Qi just called. He’s asking you to make a trip home to the Qi Residence.”
His intentionally lowered voice still sounded exceptionally clear in this wide s.p.a.ce. The cooling breeze blew, so it was not as hot as before. Right then, Qi Lei was enjoying himself in the clear and refreshing autumn weather.
However, when he heard that, he frowned and slowly opened up his eyes. He turned to look at Yang Sheng and fell silent for a moment before responding, “I’m not going back.”
He said it simply, and then laid back down.
“But, CEO Qi says that there’s something important…”
“Important? To me, even if he dies, it’s not important, so what else could be important? Go and get me a good bottle of wine. It’s a rare sight to see Qi Feng all worried.” Qi Feng was clearly enjoying this.
“Master Qi, don’t drink so much. Aren’t you going to be playing golf with CEO Fang and the rest later?” Yang Sheng could not help but break out in cold sweat.
Qi Lei then remembered his schedule as he ma.s.saged the s.p.a.ce between his brows. “I almost forgot about it. Mu Yuchen’s a handful indeed. It’s a good thing I didn’t go against him back then. Otherwise, I’d probably be the one facing all these problems.”
“Don’t worry, Master Qi. Master Mu has always treated you as a good friend.”
A good friend…
When Yang Sheng said that, he suddenly remembered back then, when he had a meal with City B’s CEO Li and the rest in City B, Mu Yuchen had carried him all the way back to the hotel. Now that he thought about, he could not help but lament, “I owe him, whether or not I’m willing to admit it. He’s a loyal person, and it’s great to be his bro.”
“Yes, I think that Master Mu and CEO Xi are great people too. Master Qi, why do you think Mu Lingtian…” Yang Sheng tried to probe.
Qi Lei’s gaze darkened. “It’s hard to explain these things. Back then, if I hadn’t met Xiaye, I don’t think I could be friends with Mu Yuchen right now. When it comes to many things, you might think someone’s wrong, but from another perspective, it might not seem the same.”
“Yes, Master Qi! Just like CEO w.a.n.g, back then, you didn’t agree with her either. Afterward, you understood how she felt in her shoes and truly learned what she dealt with. Still, even so, only unhelpful sorrow remains.”
