Chapter 1376 So-Called Love and Hate 4

When Ah Mo said that, Mu Yuchen smiled gladly. He took another drag, then frowned slightly before he said, “You and I thought of the same thing. I knew that when Gu Qiwu got detained this time, he’d ask for my help to get him out. Do you know what was the condition I set?”

“What is it?”

Ah Mo had heard from Li Si that Gu Qiwu had been detained for being accused of killing Wang Qin, and it seemed like he had not been bailed just yet. Li Si had also told him that Gu Qiwu and Master had a deal. However, he did not go into detail about the actual situation and just advised Ah Mo to ask his Master about it.

“This collaboration already has its purpose. Getting him out is only one of the phases. I told him to leave Hui Gu for Lingshi, and to let Lingshi get rid of the title as an illegitimate daughter.”

“What about him? What did he say?” Ah Mo asked.

“He said to let Lingshi change her surname to Gu. Otherwise, he said to let your first child have the Gu surname. I can’t make this decision, so that will be up to you two.” Mu Yuchen’s tone was calm while his unfathomable gaze fell onto Ah Mo’s face.

When Ah Mo heard the suggestion, he paused, then could not help but laugh. “Is he worried about the Gu family not having heirs? If he knew the cause of Lingtian’s death, I wonder if he’ll be able to handle it.” His lowered voice was filled with sarcasm.

“I initially wanted to discuss this with Lingshi, but now that I think about it, it might not be suitable. I think I should leave it to you. It’s Christmas Eve today, and I’ve said I’d go home for dinner and celebrate Christmas. Your sister-in-law and I will return in the evening. You should go home first since Lingshi’s going to the hospital for a checkup today.”

“Yes, Brother! I’ve got it. I’ll go home first then, and see what news Li Si will bring.” Ah Mo slowly got up.

Mu Yuchen nodded. “I’ll get Chauffeur Wang to send you back so that you can give Lingshi a surprise.”

“Okay, the wound was treated quite well, thus there’s no infection. Just apply the antibiotic cream on time, and don’t consume any spicy food or alcohol for now. Come back for a check-up in half a month,” the doctor competently instructed Qi Lei about what to watch out for, and Yang Sheng quickly noted it all down.

After a few days of rest and recuperation, Yang Sheng was feeling much better. Now, he was almost the same as before. Instead, it was Qi Lei whose wounds bled. Futhermore, during such a cold season, it was not easy for wounds to heal, thus this wound could not recover as quickly as they hoped.

When they walked out of the consulting room, Yang Sheng said to Qi Lei, “Master Qi, I’ll go get the medicine. Have a seat here.”

As Qi Lei looked up at the misty rain out the window, he inhaled and adjusted the coat on his shoulders before he walked ahead.

“I’ll wait for you in the car,” he said, and his tall figure walked past Yang Sheng.

“Alright, Master Qi!” Yang Sheng said softly.

For some reason, after what had happened, he felt like Master Qi seemed to have become much quieter, unlike those days when they had been prepared to come home. The three of them could still have some happy conversations, but in truth, since Ah Bao brought them home, Qi Lei seemed to have become a whole different person.

Yang Sheng thought about it, and seemed to understand why. It was probably because of Qi Qiming.

Even if the Master did not say it, he could understand. Master Qi was probably bitterly disappointed about what happened after this incident. He had been missing for so long, yet the first person who thought of looking for him and found him was not his own father, but a friend. It seemed like Qi Qiming did not even care about him!

When he thought about this, Yang Sheng could not help but feel sorry for Qi Lei. If CEO Wang were still around, she would probably be heartbroken and have a huge fight with Qi Qiming. What else could be more hurtful than this?

Did he really not care?

Sometimes, Yang Sheng really wanted to just rush into Qi Qiming’s office and debate with him, yet this might only trouble Qi Lei further. Every family had its own problems, after all.

The car was parked right outside the hospital.

Qi Lei had come over straight from Imperial Hotel. He did not return to Grand Lakes Villa, the Qi residence, or Qi Kai. He did not want to see the very two faces that would make him feel sorry for himself. He only brought Yang Sheng along, and he was the one who drove.

Yang Sheng had gotten the medicine in a short while and got into the front passenger seat.

“Master Qi, let’s go back straight to Grand Lakes Villa. You’ve been tired for a long time now, so you should rest well. As for the new company, Master Mu and Manager Wang have been watching over it, so it’s fine. A few days won’t make much of a difference.”

Yang Sheng did not bring Qi Qiming and the rest up because he was worried that it would make Qi Lei feel bad.

Qi Lei lowered his gaze, took a look at the time on his phone, and then tossed it aside. He fixed the coat on his shoulders and then silently started the car before he said in a deep voice, “I’ll send you home first. Your family’s been worried for a long time now. You should rest at home first for this week.”

“Master Qi, I don’t need that. I’m already fine. I’ve told my family, I said—”

“That’s an order. Just obey it,” Qi Lei said calmly and drove steadily out of the parking spot as he continued, “I notice your loyalty, and I won’t treat you unfairly. Rest well for now. The new company won’t fall. The more others want it to fall, the more I won’t let it. Don’t worry. I have my own ways.”

“Master Qi...Master Qi, are you thinking of looking for the Wangs?”

The Wang family was Wang Qin’s side of the family. He heard that after Wang Qin married Qi Qiming, the Wangs migrated abroad, and their properties were left to Wang Qin to handle. Back then, Wang Qin had insisted on combining the Wangs’ and Qis’ assets, thus creating the large-scale version of Qi Kai today. The Wang family had been very against it, but Wang Qin had insisted on doing so. In fact, she steadied her position as Vice President of Qi Kai whereby no one could shake her status. Even Qi Qiming dared not to offend her easily, and this was enough to prove Wang Qin’s power.

However, it had been many years, and the Wang family had already become the past here. With Wang Qin’s stubborn personality, she would not lower her ego to ask the Wangs for help even if she died. In fact, the old Wang couple got divorced in the earlier years, and both of them had passed away for many years now. Qi Lei only had one uncle left, and it seemed like this uncle was actually the old Wang couple’s adopted son who had also admired Wang Qin wholeheartedly back then.

Yang Sheng did not know a lot about the Wang family, especially since Wang Qin never brought this up to anyone else either. Perhaps, back then, right from when she decided to marry Qi Qiming, her heart had been dead.

Qi Lei did not answer Yang Sheng as he only silently sped up...
