Chapter 272 - 254: Brother Shuoqian
She asked if he could do her a favor, and from her slightly trembling shoulders, he could feel her helplessness.
Mu Shuoqian’s expression turned solemn, gently pulled her a short distance away from his embrace, and lowered his head to look directly into her misty, smoky eyes: "What happened?"
Gu Qili thought about the phone call she had just received, from her uncle Yu Kai, with whom she hadn’t been in contact for many years.
"My uncle called and said that my mom is seriously ill and needs a sum of money for surgery. He asked me to figure out a way."
"The card I gave you is for you to spend freely, there’s no need to report to me, that’s yours."
"I know, but the cost of the surgery isn’t a small amount, so I think I need to let you know."
"Now I know. Is there anything else I need to do?"
Gu Qili shook her head, "It’s always been my Dad who provided the money, but my Mom doesn’t know it came from him. She thinks it was earned by my uncle. My mom doesn’t like my dad, and she doesn’t like me either, so I was rejected several times when I mentioned visiting her to my uncle."
"Now I heard she’s sick, and I’m pretty worried. My sister still hasn’t been found to this day, her life or death is uncertain, and my mom only has my uncle by her side." Gu Qili said as she rubbed her nose, "When I was little, my dad seldom mentioned my mom, but he didn’t deny her existence either. He even lied to me, saying my name Qili was because my mom walked seven miles before giving birth to me. I’ve never seen her, don’t know what she looks like, nor do I know what kind of person she is. She probably has a deep grudge against my dad, so she doesn’t like me, who was raised by my dad, and for all these years, she didn’t want to see me, let alone let me visit her."
"After all, you two are mother and daughter, and you’ll meet one day, don’t be too sad." Mu Shuoqian hugged her shoulders, walking her towards the house, "I will have someone check on your mother’s situation tomorrow. If they don’t refuse, I will find the best doctors in M country to perform her surgery."
"Thank you." Gu Qili looked up at him, he was always so dependable, as if he could resolve any difficulty she encountered.
"I don’t just want a verbal thank-you, give me something practical after a while." He whispered in her ear with his warm breath, who knows what he said, Gu Qili’s face immediately turned red, and then she glared at him fiercely with her eyes.
