Chapter 31 Is your ex outside?
In the hospital ward, it was time for afternoon visits, and family members began to enter the rooms one after another, carrying food and fruit.

VIP ward
Minghui's hospital room was filled with gifts of all sizes, which made the originally large space look much smaller.

There was a gentle knock on the ward door. Yan Jie turned around and saw Fu Baiqing and his family of three arriving with all sorts of expensive tonics.

"Baiqing and Tiantian are here! You just came, why did you buy so much stuff!" Yan Jie acted very enthusiastically, getting up to greet Fu Baiqing and his family.

Upon seeing the little girl Jiang Tian was holding hands with, Yan Jie exclaimed in surprise, "Is this Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan has grown so big and tall! She's so beautiful!"

“Aunt, we brought our child to visit Uncle.” After saying the first sentence, Fu Baiqing bent down and gently said to her five-year-old daughter, “Yuanyuan, call her Grandma and say hello to Grandma…”

The little girl blinked her big eyes and sweetly called out to Yan Jie in a soft, sweet voice, "Hello, Grandma..."

The word "Grandma" melted Yan Jie's heart. She happily picked up the little girl and said gently, "Come on... let's go to Grandpa's place and let him take a good look at our lovely Yuanyuan."

Following Yan Jie's steps as she carried the little girl, Fu Baiqing and Jiang Tian also arrived at the bedside.

Minghui had already overheard their conversation. When Yan Jie brought Fu Baiqing's daughter to him, he raised his left hand, smiled, and gently stroked the little girl's head a few times.

This action surprised Fu Baiqing; he hadn't expected Minghui to be able to move so quickly.

"Uncle is recovering very well. It looks like he'll be able to go back to the company soon," Fu Baiqing said, sounding quite pleased.

After hearing what Fu Baiqing said, Minghui waved his hand. This gesture was very difficult for Minghui, but he had to show Fu Baiqing that he was about to recover.

Then he said, "I'm getting old... I need to rest..."

"Baiqing, you're such an unfilial child! Your uncle is in such a state, and you're still thinking about getting him back to work!" Yan Jie knew that if Minghui said anything more, he would give himself away, so she quickly and naturally started joking with Fu Baiqing.

Minghui's ability to speak fluently was something Fu Baiqing never expected; his trip to the hospital today was definitely worthwhile.

Jiang Tian, ​​standing to the side, pretended to scold Fu Baiqing, "Yeah, men are all straight men. The most important thing for Uncle is to rest well now. Besides, with such a capable son-in-law, he should just relax and rest."

"Yes, I've been advising him a lot lately to put aside his career ambitions and that the most important thing now is to get some rest, because health is the foundation of everything."

After Yan Jie finished speaking, she invited Fu Baiqing's family to sit on the sofa.

"It was my fault. Uncle, the most important thing to do right now is to take good care of your health. Weiwei just got married, and Chengze hasn't even gotten married and had children yet." Fu Baiqing smiled awkwardly.

“Speaking of Chengze, I heard him say last night that he signed a contract with you? Don’t go easy on him just because he’s Chengze’s cousin.” Since Fu Baiqing brought up Ming Chengze, Yan Jie continued the conversation.

“I don’t need to go easy on him. Chengze is a very talented kid. It just so happens that he has met a brother-in-law who has the vision to appreciate him.”

Fu Baiqing was a seasoned veteran; with just one sentence, he praised both Ming Chengze and Pei Ming, knowing that Yan Jie and Ming Hui would be pleased to hear it.

"I just want to find out from you whether the two of them are messing around. As the backbone of the company, you can't lie." Yan Jie elevated Fu Baiqing's status, and her words were also very intimate.

Fu Baiqing shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I think their collaboration is quite good, Aunt, please don't overthink it."

"Then your uncle and I are relieved. I was worried that Pei Ming would spoil Weiwei and go along with Chengze, which might cause problems for people in the company." Yan Jie pretended to be relieved, deliberately trying to make Fu Baiqing think that she trusted him. Fu Baiqing knew that Yan Jie didn't need to get information from him; she was just playing mind games with him.

However, Fu Baiqing could only play along with Yan Jie's cunning, and had to pretend that he couldn't see through her.

Inside the restaurant, the dishes on the table had been almost finished; the next step was to pay the bill and go shopping to digest.

Just as Ming Wei got up and walked out of the cubicle with her bag, Pei Ming suddenly appeared not far from her.

In his line of sight, Pei Ming was about to walk out of the horizontal passageway, and beside him, besides Du Lian, there were several other people who looked like they were very good at studying.

Ming Wei instinctively shrank back into the cubicle, not knowing why she didn't want Pei Ming to see her there.

Perhaps they just didn't want to make things more awkward in a crowded place.

"What, is your ex outside? Why are you hiding?" Tang Ying had just witnessed Ming Weiyi's lewd behavior, and she curiously peeked out of the cubicle.

"I don't have any exes, I'm just hiding from my current boyfriend!" Ming Wei said in a low and quick voice.

Tang Ying saw several people walking past ahead. Although they were just blurry, fleeting figures, Tang Ying knew who had just walked past based on the words "current".

"Pei Ming!"

Tang Ying suddenly shouted. There were hardly any people in the restaurant at this time, so she was certain that the person who had just walked by had heard her.

"Damn it! You're really toxic!" Ming Wei reflexively gritted her teeth and complained to Tang Ying. When she heard Tang Ying shout Pei Ming's name, she inexplicably tensed up.

Sure enough, the person who had already walked past took a few steps back and looked towards the direction from which the sound came.

The moment their eyes met, Tang Ying saw Pei Ming's face clearly, and she couldn't help but praise Ming Weiyi in her heart: Our Weiwei's taste is indeed quite good.

From Pei Ming's eyes, Tang Ying could tell that he was saying they didn't know each other, so she pointed to a place where Pei Ming couldn't see and said, "Ming Wei is here too."

Pei Ming simply nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then continued walking in the direction he had just left the restaurant.

"Are you kidding me? He knew you were here, and he just left without even saying goodbye? And you're praising him to the skies like that!"

Tang Ying could hardly believe Pei Ming's departure. No matter what, she felt that Pei Ming should have said goodbye to Ming Weiyi and her friends before leaving.

Mingwei subconsciously explained for Pei Ming, "He had an appointment to discuss something today, so it's probably inconvenient for him."

"You're quite good at finding excuses for him," Tang Ying said, looking exasperated.

“He is indeed very busy. He finishes one game and then has another one. He doesn’t get a break every day.” Mingwei didn’t want Tang Ying to think that Pei Ming didn’t respect her, so she tried her best to explain for Pei Ming.

"are you talking about me?"
