Chapter 223 The Project Failed
Chapter 223 The Project Failed
The housekeeper said: "She was rescued, but the child was not saved. Her boyfriend paid a sum of money and asked her family to take her back to her hometown. They also said that she would never return to Baicheng again!"
Xu Wanxia thought about it and shook her head, "I can only say that it was all Mo Lili's own fault. If she hadn't jumped around so many times, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Yes."
The housekeeper nodded. "Mr. Gu just told me to just tell Madam. There's no need to let her know in so much detail."
Xu Wanxia also said: "That's right, Madam is pregnant now, she can't hear these bloody things, you can just say whatever you want."
The two were chatting when Yun Ning, who was sleeping in, came downstairs.
She saw the housekeeper and Xu Wanxia chattering and asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"
Xu Wanxia quickly replied: "Oh, I heard from the housekeeper that your college classmate Mo Lili has returned to her hometown."
Yun Ning was stunned: "Hasn't she stayed in the hospital all this time?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Maybe he has figured it out."
"Who knows? Just leave."
Yun Ning was too lazy to ask.
The farther away from people like Mo Lili, the better.
I was feeling happy when suddenly there was a noise at the door.
The three people were curious, so they went out to take a look and found that it was Gu Sili’s second uncle and second aunt from his hometown who came.
There were several bulging bags next to Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu.
Gu Sili and Gu Wei, who followed over, were also carrying a few bags in their hands.
Seeing Yun Ning's confusion, Gu Sili explained, "Second uncle and second aunt heard that you were pregnant, so they insisted on coming to see you. They also brought a lot of local specialties from home, saying that they wanted to nourish your body."
Gu Wei said as if presenting a treasure: "These are all grown by my parents themselves. There are no fertilizers or additives. They are natural and wild. Yun Ning, you are in for a treat."
Second Aunt Gu slapped Gu Wei on the back of his head: "You were the one who called Yun Ning, too. You called her cousin's wife!"
Gu Wei was always honest in front of his mother. He covered his head and called out obediently, "Cousin's wife..."
Yun Ning couldn't help but laugh and responded.
Second Uncle Gu also interrupted and said, "Look at you, you are so carefree all the time. Your cousin already has a wife and children. When will you bring your girlfriend to us?"
Gu Wei said seriously: "My girlfriend is very precious. If you want to see it, I have to ask her opinion first!"
Second Uncle Gu spat: "You used to be quite manly, but after you got this girlfriend, why have you become more and more useless?"
Gu Wei raised his chin: "This is not called being useless, this is called loving your wife, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
Second Uncle Gu: "You..."
"Alright, alright, what are you two doing? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Ning Ning?"
As Aunt Gu spoke, she asked people to put all these things into the kitchen.
Xu Wanxia hurried over to help.
The two of them called other servants and worked in the kitchen for the whole morning, preparing a large table of dishes.
The soup of the young rooster stewed with hazel mushrooms is rich, the pork with preserved vegetables is fat but not greasy, and the spare ribs stewed with kidney beans are soft and tasty.
The steamed hairy crabs are delicious and sweet, and the braised hairtail fish has a mellow flavor.
Although they are home-cooked dishes, they are all made by Aunt Gu herself.
These flavors have always been deeply hidden in the memories of Gu Wei and Gu Sili.
It was also a rare sweetness in their impoverished childhood.
So, before all the dishes were served, Gu Wei sneaked to the dining table and secretly ate a lot.
Even Gu Sili, who was usually not particular about food, sat at the table with anticipation.
The whole family is happy.
Yun Ning felt the love of family for the first time in a long time.
While I am happy, I also feel a little lost.
According to Gu Sili, her mother died, her father disappeared, and her brother went abroad.
The family was torn apart.
If I want to have a happy and harmonious family reunion like we have now, I’m afraid it can only happen in my dreams.
"Ningning, you're pregnant now. This is for one person and for two people. Eat more."
Second Aunt Gu kept putting food into Yun Ning's bowl, looking at her tenderly and lovingly.
Yun Ning came back to her senses and quickly agreed: "Okay, Second Aunt."
She recently stopped having morning sickness and her appetite has improved.
I want to eat everything, but there is too much to finish.
So he could only take a bite to taste it, and then passed it to Gu Sili.
Gu Sili also enjoyed it.
Being able to eat the leftovers of your wife and children means you have a warm bed to live on.
However, halfway through the meal, Gu Wei's cell phone suddenly rang.
The person on the other end of the phone said in a panic, "Second Young Master, something happened!"
Gu Wei was gnawing on a chicken foot.
Hearing his subordinates say this, he immediately spat out the broken bones in his mouth, wiped his hands with a tissue, and asked, "What's going on?"
"There's a problem with our bidding! A company won the bid with a price 10 yuan higher than ours!"
The price of this order involves tens of millions, and Gu Wei has always been determined to win it.
Someone must have known their bidding price in advance, so they won this big order by paying a mere 100,000 yuan higher than theirs.
You know, Gu Wei and his team invested more than a million in their preliminary work.
In addition, the bid was unsuccessful and subsequent projects could not be carried out, which was a huge loss.
Gu Wei was furious at that time.
During this period, my cousin has been taking care of his wife, and the company affairs are managed by him and Jiang Yu.
I originally thought I was doing a good job and had made progress compared to before, but now such a big mess has occurred.
"What do you eat?"
Gu Wei got furious.
If Gu Sili and his parents hadn't been around, he would have thrown his chopsticks down long ago.
Aunt Gu asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Gu Wei suppressed his anger and shook his head, saying, "There was a small problem with the project, it's not a big deal, you and your cousin can eat first, I'll go to the company."
Aunt Gu said, "But you haven't finished your meal yet."
Second Uncle Gu said, "We can eat anytime! Our Awei finally has some ambition to succeed in his career, please don't hold him back!"
Aunt Gu said awkwardly: "I didn't stop him, I just wanted him to have a full meal."
Uncle Gu was too lazy to listen and waved at Gu Wei directly: "Alright, alright, Ah Wei, go quickly. Your cousin is busy taking care of your cousin's wife and can't spare the time. You should work hard in the company and don't let your cousin down!"
Gu Wei thought of his father's reaction when Gu Sili was sick. He glanced at him, said nothing, then turned and walked towards the door.
Yun Ning thought for a moment and called him, "There's some black chicken soup in the kitchen. Do you want to bring some to Jiang Yu and your girlfriend?"
Gu Wei stopped and turned to smile at Yun Ning: "My cousin is really thoughtful."
After falling in love with Feng Xiaoman, Gu Wei gave her money, but she refused it.
I gave her the card, she refused.
I bought her jewelry, but she said she wasn't interested.
So far, not a single gift has been received.
Yun Ning's words reminded him.
Such a special girlfriend should pay more attention to the little details in daily life.
If I bring this bowl of thick black chicken soup to my girlfriend, she will definitely be touched.
Gu Wei chuckled and ran into the kitchen.
After getting the things, Gu Wei's mood obviously improved and he left happily.
Looking at Gu Wei's back, Yun Ning gently tugged at Gu Sili's sleeve and asked, "You've been with me these days. Now that something's happened at the company, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"No need. Gu Wei should also gain some experience. At worst, let him lose a few hundred million and gain some experience."
Gu Sili calmly picked up a chicken leg and put it in Yun Ning's bowl, "Eat more, wife."
