1057 I“ll Give You A Chance 2
Qi Lei lowered himself slightly and whispered to Gu Lingsha.
Gu Lingsha’s expression turned stiff as she looked at Qi Lei in bewilderment. She was about to say something when Qi Lei had already straightened up and walked to the door. Before his tall figure very quickly vanished out of the doorway, he said, “Let me know when you’ve finalized your discussion.”
All of them looked terrible. Even the light that gathered in Qi Qiming’s eyes shifted as well. The few shareholders thought about it for a moment, then suggested.
“CEO Qi, what do we do? Fuhua’s shameless! I think it must be Shen Yue’s idea! Even the last time when Hua Heng sold us the land for the South River project, it might have been them pulling tricks too. Shen Yue and Hua Heng have a good relationship, so they might be the ones behind that last incident!”
“Yes, CEO Qi, we have to consider this matter at length!”
“Inform the manager. Tell them to come to the meeting room right away!” Qi Qiming said in a low, dangerous voice.
“Alright, we’ll do so right away!”
Then, the few of them left Qi Qiming’s office very quickly.
Gu Lingsha snapped back from her trance. When she turned around, she realized that Qi Qiming was looking at her. Something flashed in her eyes, then she silently lowered her eyes and said softly, “Uncle Qi…”
“What did Qi Lei mean earlier?” Qi Qiming asked quietly, his tone containing a hint of puzzlement.
Gu Lingsha subconsciously trembled slightly as she quickly said, “Uncle Qi, I think this might have been because Xi Xiaye and I had an unhappy encounter before this. I’m really sorry. She’s targeting me, so this time, I’m afraid…”
“Enough. There’s no need to say all that. Even if it wasn’t this time, they would think of ways to attack Qi Kai too,” Qi Qiming tenderly consoled her, “So, don’t blame yourself about it too much. Just focus on getting through this. Your father won’t look on without helping either. Your wedding with Ah Feng is happening soon, and you’ll be taking wedding pictures these next few days as well. Once this matter’s resolved, rest easy for a while. Have fun taking your wedding pictures. Your wedding dress should be almost ready, so prepare well and be a wonderful bride to Ah Feng.”
When Qi Qiming said this, Gu Lingsha felt a little relieved. She quickly nodded. “Yes, Uncle Qi! Don’t worry. I’ll definitely treat Ah Feng well. All these years, it has always been him who was by my side and supporting me, so I…” Her eyes were filled with sincerity, to Qi Qiming’s relief.
“It’s good that you acknowledge that. Don’t worry. As long as you stay by Ah Feng’s side and support him forever, you won’t be at a disadvantage. I’m getting old. Ever since your Aunt Wang passed away, I’ve constantly felt fatigued. I think it’s time for me to retire and rest soon. In the end, Ah Feng still needs to stand at the helm of Qi Kai., I want to make Qi Lei Ah Feng’s sound right-hand man. I don’t want to see the two brothers go on the same path that your Aunt Wang and I did.”
As Qi Qiming said this, his dark eyes seemed to flash with a complicated light, and Gu Lingsha could hear a faint sorrow in his voice. She thought about, then consoled, “Don’t worry, Uncle Qi. Ah Feng and I won’t let that happen. Don’t be too sad. That issue with Aunt Wang has passed. If she were to stand in your shoes, she’d probably understand.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about these things now. Let’s prepare for the meeting!” Qi Qiming ended the topic with waning interest. He picked up the document on his desk, inhaled, then turned to leave the office.
“Uncle Qi!” Gu Lingsha followed after him.
…
What happened afterwards was within Xi Xiaye’s expectations. The next morning, Qi Lei had come over once again, and obviously the other party agreed to the conditions.
Xi Xiaye permitted Lan Zilang to open their warehouse and send the materials over.
Gu Lingsha obviously suppressed her anger regarding this coercion. If it were not for the fact that she was worried about things with the government, she would not have even lowered herself to beg Qi Lei and let Xi Xiaye win!
In the pavilion in the Qi family’s backyard, Gu Lingsha ranted gloomily, “Ah Feng, it’s so obvious that Xi Xiaye was behind this! The last time, she framed me, and as for Morrison’s incident, that was definitely Mu Yuchen. We can’t just suffer in silence!”
“Master, I think that there was more to the last incident too. It was clearly trained hands that attacked me!” After a long period of rest, Morrison had almost fully recovered now though he would often feel a dull pain from his wound.
Qi Feng lowered his gaze thoughtfully as he fell silent for a while. He then responded, “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely take revenge for you two, but not right now.”
Suddenly, he turned to look at Gu Lingsha and frowned. “Shasha, I heard that Uncle Gu has prepared a lot of things that are up to Aunt’s fancies. Didn’t Aunt Gu call you at all?”
Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha’s expression froze and she quickly shook her head. “I wouldn’t dare talk about these things with her. The last time, we almost…but don’t you worry. As long as my father steps in, she won’t so much as not give us face. After all, we’ve already announced our marriage to the world, so he won’t embarrass both the Qis and the Gus. As long as we sincerely apologize to her afterward and explain the situation, my mother will understand.”
“When’s she coming back?” Qi Feng asked.
Gu Lingsha breathed in to pause, then replied, “I called Grandmother yesterday. She said that my mother was very angry to learn about the news, but then she left home because of some emergency and hasn’t been back for a few days now. I’m guessing that we’ll hear from her quite soon. After all, our wedding’s soon. She definitely won’t accept this so easily and I’m worried about Weiwei.”
“Spend more time with her. She hasn’t been doing too well recently.”
“Alright, I will! Tomorrow, we could bring her to the playground for a bit.”
“Mmm, go take a look at her. I still have some things to discuss with Morrison.”
Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha nodded and planted a kiss on Qi Feng’s lips before she got up. “I’ll get going then.”
…
Gu Lingsha figured vanished down the walkway until the patter of her footsteps could not be heard.
When Qi Feng saw Gu Lingsha’s figure move further away, he said, “Let’s talk in the study room. Yesterday, they seemed to have discovered something very interesting, I think you’ll be very interested in it too!”
