Shen Weiwei (2)
He couldn’t save the company, nor could he save his grandfather. The only thing he could do now was to go to the hospital and spend more time with him.
Soon they arrived at the hospital. The driver woke up Gu Shaoyu, who was taking a nap in the backseat of the car.
Gu Shaoyu took advantage of the half-hour journey to sleep for a while. He patted his face and forced himself to cheer up. He then opened the car door and got out of the car to go upstairs.
The least he could do was to liven things up.
It was already eleven o’clock and the corridors of the hospital were very quiet. Gu Shaoyu guessed that Lao Gu was probably already asleep. Without thinking about disturbing him, he opened the door to take a look inside.
But he didn’t expect that Lao Gu, who had always been asleep at this time, hadn’t slept yet, and was seemingly even waiting for him energetically.
“Grandpa, why haven’t you slept yet?”
Lao Gu had always doted on his grandson. When he saw Gu Shaoyu coming, he looked at him with a smile on his face. “I’m waiting for you. You weren’t here yet, so I haven’t slept.”
After saying this, he dryly coughed.
Gu Shaoyu hurriedly walked over and patted him on the back. “Why didn’t you listen to the doctor? You have to take a good rest.”
“It’s okay, I know my own body.” He grabbed hold of Gu Shaoyu’s hand.
“Lixing and his grandfather came here today. The old guy is still in good health as always. I think he’ll still live to be a hundred years old.”
“You’ll also live to be a hundred years old.”
“You think I still don’t know my own body yet? Don’t tease me.”
Lao Gu was breathless after a few words. After pausing, he said, “I know you can’t save our company. Go see Lu Lixing tomorrow, he’ll help you.”
“Lu Lixing?”
“Today, he said that he would definitely help you protect our company and won’t let it collapse.”
Gu Shaoyu looked at the kindness in his old man’s eyes as he talked about Lu Lixing and lowered his head in shame.
Lao Gu looked at him lovingly. “It’s okay. Grandfather raised you, I know what kind of person you are. Remember, everyone has their own set of strengths and weaknesses.”
“You haven’t liked these things since you were young, but Grandpa has a way. I won’t let you bear the brunt of our problems. No matter what happens to our family, Grandpa won’t blame you.”
“Grandpa, don’t worry about it. I will definitely try my best!”
“I’m very happy to hear that you have this determination.” Lao Gu sighed and said quietly, “That old man was about to have a grandson. But here I am… I don’t even know if I still have a chance to see you get married.”
Gu Shaoyu was taken aback and thought of Shen Weiwei.
He felt a little nervous and excited, knowing that his grandfather had his own standards for his future wife – to be noble and supportive. But if it was Weiwei, maybe Grandpa would like her.
“Grandpa, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Shaoyu really wanted to bring Shen Weiwei to show his grandfather how beautiful and generous his grandson-in-law was.
“I have a girlfriend.”
Lao Gu was taken aback. “Girlfriend? What’s her name?”
“Shen Weiwei.” When Gu Shaoyu mentioned her, the fatigue on his face swept away. “She’s very good, Grandpa, and I like her very much.”
“Shen Weiwei?” The name rang a bell in his mind, but Lao Gu didn’t think too deeply about it.
He was a person who had also experienced it before, so he knew what the relationship meant to his grandson when he saw the smile on his face. “Silly boy! You’re still hiding her from Grandpa. When you have time, bring her over to meet me, okay?”
Gu Shaoyu couldn’t hide the joy on his face. “Then Grandpa, I’ll bring her tomorrow… No, should I bring her here to see you in two days?”
“Okay, Grandpa will be waiting for you.”
***
Coming out of Lao Gu’s ward, Gu Shaoyu immediately called Shen Weiwei, but she did not answer.
It was past eleven o’clock.
She must’ve gone to bed.
Remembering the things he talked about with his grandpa a while ago, he lowered his head and smiled. Lu Lixing’s son’s name has already been decided. Then… what would be a good name for their future child?
The next day, Gu Shaoyu still wasn’t able to contact Shen Weiwei. He called Meng Xun to ask what happened, but Meng Xun hung up quickly after a few perfunctory words.
For the next three days, he was not able to reach Shen Weiwei. She seemed to have vanished from the world. But, last time Meng Xun said that she was preparing for a new play recently.
Was she really that busy that she couldn’t even manage the spare time to answer his calls?
One day after coming out of the conference room, he tried his luck and called Shen Weiwei. This time, she answered.
“Weiwei! You finally answered your phone! What have you been doing these days? I haven’t been able to contact you.”
Shen Weiwei’s voice was hushed, deliberately lowered as if trying to avoid someone. “Why are you looking for me?”
“I…” Gu Shaoyu’s words trailed off, feeling something off from her attitude.
Why is she cold to me? I must have made her upset.
Besides, recently, he spent too much time rushing back and forth to the hospital. He was, indeed, wrong in this matter.
That must be the reason.
