Gu Xieâs gaze was a little dim.
Seeing how the brothers were harmonious and respectful towards each other, Shen Qianshuâs heart was filled with warmth. This was how the Gu Family was supposed to be likeâeven though not everyone was perfect, even though Fifth Brother was sick, they still loved each other.
Second Old Master Gu said, âLittle Fifth, if you wish to go outdoors, Father and your brothers will not stop you as long as you feel that you can adjust. Take care to not force yourself and let those following you to pay more attention.â
âI know, Father. I want to return to my room.â
Second Old Master Gu said, âSure, then go and rest. Donât think too much.â
Fifth Brother was a bit uncomfortable and returned to his room after greeting his siblings. Shen Qianshu was slightly worried. Gu Xie said, âLittle Shu, donât worry. Weâll take good care of Fifth Brother.â
âHowâs Mom?â
Second Old Master Gu sighed. âStill no hints of recovery.â
She could hear people talking but remained unconscious.
Shen Qianshu caressed Fang Hongxiuâs icy hands. âFather, you can play some of Momâs favorite music or talk about your past stories. Maybe that will work.â
âI always accompanied and talked to her. Occasionally, she would tap against my palm lightly. She can hear, but her body is still unwell. I am very worried. Thereâs no problem with the antidote. Maybe sheâs just been unconscious for too many years and needs more time.â
Gu Yuanli lowered his head guiltily. A light breeze blew gently, and his pale face could barely be concealed.
Shen Qianshu was a bit helpless. âFather, brother, take it slow. We have waited for more than twenty years. Waiting a few more days is insignificant.â
With eyes filled with deep affection, Second Old Master Gu caressed Fang Hongxiuâs long hair gently. âYes, I think that way too. More than twenty years have passed. I donât care about these few days.â
Shen Qianshuâs phone rang.
Chen Wanwan had called that B Familyâs Public Relationâs manager had come looking. She said, âLet them wait. Iâm busy at this moment.â
âDo I reject them or make another appointment?â
Shen Qianshu snapped her fingers gently. âMake another appointment. For all these years, B Familyâs public relations department has always been unobstructed in the Central Asia region. Iâm afraid that they have forgotten their manners, so why donât you educate them properly? When we couples date, we need to make an appointment, wash our hair, put make-up on, dress well, and make sure everythingâs settled before going out. We have to be even more careful when negotiating big projects. Talk to them politelyâthey are impolite, but we are courteous.â
Chen Wanwanâs laughter traveled across the phone. âHahaha, okay, I understand. Iâll make an appointment with them once again.â
Shen Qianshu hung up. Second Old Master Guâs gaze was filled with contempt. âFather has heard about your jewelry show. Let your Second Brother deal with it. He will settle it well. You donât have to waste your efforts on it anymore.â
âFather, I can handle it well. This is my job. Second Brother is overwhelmed with work every day. He doesnât have to care about these little issues.â
A hint of laughter lingered in Gu Yuanliâs eyes. âLittle Shu, your issues are major issues. Ghost Cityâs stuff is not important.â
Second Old Master Gu nodded in agreement. Fourth Brother and Gu Xie at the side also felt that Little Shuâs issues were the important ones.
Shen Qianshu did not know if she should laugh or cry. âIf all of you pamper me like that, you will spoil me like a big baby.â
âWhatâs wrong with being a big baby? We, the Gu Family, can afford it.â Second Old Master Gu had never done anything for her. He wished that she was a big baby so that they could take care of her.
Shen Qianshu raised her hands in defeat and was extremely helpless. âFather, Brother, let me off. If I need it, Iâll definitely seek your help. Now, thereâs nothing urgent, so I can handle it by myself.â
