Ruan Qi on the other end of the phone listened silently and said nothing.
Mr. Xi, on the other hand, quickly took the phone away from the coffee table and pressed the hang up button.
Sheng Lin's scolding stopped abruptly.
Mr. Sheng was shocked: "Old Xi! The phone..."
"Hang up." Mr. Xi's smile disappeared.
He looked coldly at Sheng Lin, who still had a bit of ferocity on her face, and the pressure belonging to the superior slowly dissipated from her body.
"Since you can't speak human language, you can wait until you learn how to speak human language before meeting people. My Xiaoqi is too young to listen to those nonsense howls of ghosts."
After that, he stood up.
"Get up and see the guests off!"
After Mr. Xi finished speaking, he ignored Mr. Sheng's plea and strode away with a cold face.
This time, Sheng Lin stopped scolding and was dumbfounded.
Her sanity, which had been burned away by her anger, was restored again. She looked at Mr. Xi's leaving figure, and her heart felt cold.
However, Gong Qi didn't care whether the Sheng family's father and daughter were feeling cold or not. He put on a distant but standard smile and moved his white-gloved hand toward the door.
"Boy, please. I'll take you out."
Of course, the Sheng family father and daughter didn’t want to leave just like that.
In a panic, Sheng Lin grabbed Gong Qi's arm and said, "I can't leave! Butler Gong, please let me see the old Xi again!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Sheng." Gong Qi let her hold her, his smile unchanged, "You two, please go back."
How could Sheng Lin go back?
Ye Qingqing is lying on the hospital bed. If she goes back like this, her daughter will be dead!
Sheng Lin was anxious and angry. In desperation, she took out a black card from her purse and stuffed it into Gong's hand.
"Housekeeper, this is a little thought. Please let me see Mr. Xi. My daughter is still lying on the bed. I can't leave! Is one card enough? It's not enough. I still have this!"
Sheng Lin shook her hands and took out all the cards from the card bag and stuffed them into Gong Qi's hand.
Gong Qi watched her movements with a smile, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses filled with endless indifference.
Didn’t you have a very angry temper when you scolded the little madam just now?
Now you know how to ask for help?
Gong Qi didn't have the slightest fondness for an unreasonable person like Sheng Lin. No matter how much Sheng Lin begged, he only had one sentence: "Please, please".
Sheng Lin was about to be choked by Gong Qi and vomited blood.
Her eyes were red with anxiety, and her mind was almost crazy.
Mr. Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her back with a cane.
"Enough!" he shouted.
"What's enough? Not enough! Qingqing is still in the hospital bed! I want to see Mr. Xi!" Sheng Lin lost control, screaming and trying to break away from her father's hand.
Mr. Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
Snap——!
A crisp and powerful sound interrupted all sounds.
Sheng Lin covered her burning face and felt a little confused.
She has lived for more than forty years. She has been well-dressed and pampered since she was born. Not to mention a slap, even a finger, even the two elders of the Sheng family are reluctant to touch her.
But now, her father, who loved her so much, slapped her in front of the Xi family!
Sheng Lin was completely stunned.
Mr. Sheng looked at his daughter's rapidly swelling cheeks, and his eyes flashed with unbearability.
However, he quickly suppressed this emotion and said in a cold voice: "Isn't it great that you scolded Ruan Qi just now?! What? Now you know you are anxious?! Do you have any manners when you yell at other people's homes?
!The Sheng family has lost all face by you!"
Sheng Lin was beaten and scolded by her father for the first time, and her usual arrogance completely disappeared.
She looked at Mr. Sheng blankly, and said blankly: "I also do it for Qingqing..."
"If you are really here for Qingqing, you should be more polite to Ruan Qi!" Mr. Sheng felt bad when he saw his daughter now, and his tone of voice was extremely rude, "Ruan Qi is the only one who can save Qingqing now and not give her up.
That’s all, did you offend her because your mind was clouded by shit?!”
Sheng Lin really wanted to know who Ruan Qi was and what qualifications she had for her to be a donor.
But when she thought of Ye Qingqing lying on the hospital bed, she pouted and swallowed all the words.
After Mr. Sheng took care of his troubled daughter, he turned to look at Gong Qi.
"What happened just now made the palace steward laugh." A forced smile appeared on his haggard old face, "Sheng Lin was spoiled by me and is ignorant. Don't mind, palace steward."
Gong Qi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his smile unchanged: "Mr. Sheng, you're welcome."
Mr. Sheng really doesn’t dare to be rude.
He sorted out the cards that Sheng Lin had randomly thrust into Gong Qi, and then said with a hint of pleading: "Gong Butler, please go and persuade Lao Xi to see me again. I know what Sheng Lin did just now was wrong.
When I meet Lao Xi later, I will definitely ask her to apologize!"
Gong Qi smiled but remained motionless.
Mr. Sheng looked at his mask-like distant smile, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "As long as the housekeeper can help me once, I will ask Sheng Lin to apologize to Miss Ruan later!"
"Dad!" Sheng Lin was shocked, "How could I..."
"If you want Qingqing to survive, just shut up!" Mr. Sheng yelled at her.
Thinking of Ye Qingqing, Sheng Lin's face turned pale and she closed her mouth.
Seeing this scene, Gong Qi smiled and adjusted his glasses, "It seems that Ms. Sheng is not very willing to apologize to the young lady. Mr. Sheng, I think it is better not to force..."
"Don't force it, don't force it!" Mr. Sheng waved his hand quickly, "Sheng Lin knows she was wrong and she did it voluntarily. Right? Sheng Lin?!"
Facing her father's warning gaze, Sheng Lin reluctantly nodded.
Gong Qi’s mask-like smile finally became more vivid.
He curled his thin lips with satisfaction and said with a smile, "You two sit down first, I will ask the old man what he means."
After saying that, Gong Qi turned and left.
Mr. Sheng sat back on the sofa helplessly, only to realize that his forehead was already covered with sweat.
When Sheng Lin saw Gong Qi leaving, she couldn't bear it anymore and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, how can you ask me to apologize to a little girl? She deserves to——"
"Shut up!"
Mr. Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and glanced over with a stern look.
Sheng Lin was so frightened by this look that she turned pale.
Mr. Sheng looked at her coldly and threatened in the most ruthless tone: "I don't care what you think, today's scene must be performed for me. Unless you want to offend the entire Xi family!"
"No, that's not the case..." Sheng Lin was a little scared, "Isn't she just a woman who hasn't married yet... The Xi family shouldn't go against the entire Sheng family for her..."
Mr. Sheng is about to vomit blood from this stupid daughter.
He resisted the urge to slap her and slammed the crutch to the ground as if to vent his anger.
"What's wrong with the woman who hasn't been with you yet? You didn't listen to what Lao Xi said and you just helped her? And Gong Qi, I told him to ask you to apologize to Lao Xi, but he didn't move. I told him to ask you to apologize to Lao Xi.
Ruan Qi apologized and he immediately relented. Do you know what this means?"
