To seduce her

Qi family.

Father Qi sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, and the phone in his hand seemed to become unusually heavy.

Qi's mother was sitting opposite him, looking at him expectantly, with endless urging in her eyes, which put Qi's father under even greater psychological pressure.

He looked down at the phone screen, but all it showed was the phone number of "the old man's servant."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to make the call, Qi's mother could not help but urge him, "Old Qi, hurry up! Why haven't you called yet! This isn't the old man, he's just the old man's servant, why can't you make up your mind to call?!"

Father Qi looked up at Mother Qi and pursed his lips. His stubble made him look tired and decadent, totally unlike President Qi a while ago.

"I don't have the old man's contact information. All the numbers in Lugang have been blocked by him." Qi's father slowly exhaled: "This servant has been with the old man for decades. This is the only person I can contact. But... I don't know what the result will be."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try!" Qi's mother was anxious: "Didn't you promise me that you would save Xiao Rui?!"

"Don't make a noise! ​​I'll call you!" Qi's father was already under a lot of pressure, and he was even more annoyed by the repeated urging at this moment: "I know the old man's temper best. Once this call is made, there will be no turning back!"

"Why would you want to turn back?! For Xiao Rui, I am willing to go through mountains of swords, seas of fire, and hell. I won't look back!" Qi's mother's eyes were red, and she snatched the phone away: "If you don't fight, I will!"

As she spoke, Qi's mother tapped the screen vigorously and made a call.

The phone was quickly dialed, and the servant's voice came politely and coldly: "Hello, Mr. Qi."

When the long-lost voice came, Qi's father, who was originally displeased, calmed down instantly.

He snatched the phone from me, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound calm and concerned: "Uncle Li, long time no see. I... I just want to ask how the old man is doing recently? He is old, and I am worried about his health."

The servant's voice was still cold, with a sense of distance: "Mr. Qi, the old man said he doesn't need your concern. He is in good health, you don't have to worry."

Qi's father's heart sank. He understood that the servant would not treat him like this without the old man's order.

Father Qi gritted his teeth and tried to fight for it again: "I know there is still some distance between the old man and me, but I really care about him. Can you tell him for me that I am willing to do anything for him, just hope that he can forgive us."

The servant's voice was still emotionless: "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you this. The old man has made his attitude clear, and I can only act according to his wishes."

Father Qi's hand holding the phone was shaking slightly. He felt unprecedented helplessness and despair.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he thought of the fierce argument he had with the old man and his indifference to the old man over the years.

Father Qi closed his eyes in despair, and finally uttered a few words weakly: "Okay, I understand."

The assistant's polite closing words came from the other end of the line, followed by a busy tone. Qi's father sat on the sofa in a daze, and the phone in his hand slipped to the carpet with a dull sound.

Qi's mother said in a trembling voice: "What happened? Why did he die so quickly? You..."

"Shut up!" Qi's father suddenly yelled, "Things in this world are not as simple as you think! If you don't understand, just shut up!"

"..."

----

The early morning sunlight shone through the window, slanting onto the corridor, making the floor tiles sparkle.

Gao Yuchuan stood by the window, holding a mobile phone in his hand, seemingly waiting for something anxiously. His figure looked particularly tall in the sunlight.

Gao Yuchuan frowned slightly, his expression focused. The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on his profile, making his outline appear more distinct.

Finally, the phone rang and Assistant Fang called back.

Gao Yuchuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line and immediately picked up the phone.

Assistant Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Gao."

"How are things arranged?" Gao Yuchuan's voice was somewhat anxious: "Did you get the medicine?"

The assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of helplessness: "We have sent people over, but there are people guarding the Qi family. The situation is more complicated than we thought. Now we can only wait and see if there is any opportunity."

Hearing this, Gao Yuchuan's face became even more gloomy, a hint of annoyance flashed across his brows, and his fingers tapped lightly on the window frame, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

"Keep an eye on it. If you get the medicine, notify me immediately." Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice: "Yao Chu is waiting for the medicine."

"Understood, Mr. Gao, I will urge you again."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuchuan turned around and went back to the room.

Seeing Gao Yuchuan coming in with a gloomy face, Shen Yaochu, who was eating breakfast, looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. There was a small problem at the manor, and the construction was delayed."

"Then what's the trouble?" Shen Yaochu chuckled and soothed softly, "It's not like we don't have a place to live now. When I'm discharged from the hospital, I can live anywhere. There's no need to rush. It's such a big manor, so we can build it slowly."

"Okay, I'm not bothered." Gao Yuchuan responded, "Are you almost done eating?"

"Yeah, almost."

Gao Yuchuan took out two tissues, and Shen Yaochu took them and wiped his mouth.

Suddenly, Shen Yaochu looked up in confusion: "By the way, I haven't taken the medicine today, has it not been delivered yet?"

When Gao Yuchuan thought of the unknown medicine, his face stiffened slightly and his heart sank again, but he quickly regained his composure.

He walked to Shen Yaochu, raised his thumb, rubbed the corner of her lips that were not wiped clean, and tried his best to make his expression look more natural.

He raised his head, his eyes met Shen Yaochu's, and a soothing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Maybe there was a delay on the way. I've sent someone to check, and there should be news soon."

"Really?" Although Shen Yaochu's doubts were not completely eliminated, she felt relieved. She said casually, "It seems that this situation has never happened before."

"Yes." Gao Yuchuan nodded and explained: "Don't worry, the medicine will be delivered."

"Okay." Shen Yaochu suddenly seemed to remember something: "Why didn't you go to work today? The company is not busy today?"

"Busy, but I have to figure out the medicine first." Gao Yuchuan said softly, "Wait for your medicine to arrive. I'll watch you take it, and then I'll go to work at the company."

Shen Yaochu smiled and said half-jokingly: "If you can't deliver it today, can you stay with me forever?"
