Chapter 1240: Time is of the Essence! (2)

Xu Mingzhi couldn’t hear him talking outside. If this continued, the servants and butler would come to chase her away.

Su Cunyi thought for a moment and called Xu Mingzhi. Xu Mingzhi didn’t want to pick up at first, but Su Cunyi called him one after another.

“Are you crazy?” Xu Mingzhi scolded as soon as he picked up the phone!

Su Cunyi’s heart skipped a beat. “Where exactly are you feeling unwell? Why does your voice sound like this?”

Xu Mingzhi was also stunned. What did her voice sound like? She hadn’t even coughed just now.

However, Su Cunyi was very certain.

Xu Mingzhi really felt that something was wrong.

If it was in the past, her scolding would definitely be deafening. He could hear it clearly even if he pulled his phone away by one meter. It was definitely not like today!

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Xu Mingzhi suppressed her coughing. “Just leave. I don’t want to see you!”

It wasn’t easy for Su Cunyi to come here. How could he be dismissed by her with a single sentence?

“Open the window and let me in. I’ll leave after taking a look!”

Xu Mingzhi: “???”

Open the window and let him in?

Was this what a 50-year-old chairman of a company would say?

“You’re still crazy at this age. Go back quickly. I don’t want to see you!” Xu Mingzhi insisted.

Su Cunyi had already guessed some possibilities. “Did Su Ji ask you to stay in the Pei family to treat your illness? Our daughter’s medical skills are good, but we can’t give up on the doctor. Let me see what’s wrong with you. I’ll find a specialist for you. I’ll only be at ease if we go to the hospital for a check-up!”

Xu Mingzhi knew that he was very troublesome. He hadn’t even seen her face. If he had, she didn’t know how much trouble he would cause.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should call her daughter over to deal with it or not. Then, she thought of something and raised her hand to support her forehead with a deep headache.

She sighed. It was a very light sigh, filled with helplessness and a feeling of gentleness because she had no strength. It traveled through the phone receiver and into Su Cunyi’s ears, who was standing outside the French window.

His chattering finally stopped.

A few seconds later, Xu Mingzhi spoke. For the first time, she did not use a forceful tone. Instead, she persuaded him nicely, “Su Cunyi, I really don’t want to see you now. Go back. If you’re really worried…our daughter’s wedding is in seven days. I’ll definitely attend the wedding. When that time comes…I’ll see you at the wedding.”

Su Cunyi tightened his grip on the phone, and his throat tightened.

The image of her daughter opening her mouth and saying “buried together” kept circling in her mind.

“Mr. Su! How did you get in?”

“Mr. Su, please leave first. Don’t make things difficult for us!”

“Third Mistress will be back soon. You should go back quickly!”

The chaotic voices in his ears were getting closer and closer to him, and he just stood there silently with his phone raised.

It was not until he was taken away by the bodyguards that the Pei family’s door closed in front of his eyes. He heard the busy tone of the phone after it was hung up…

Su Ji’s children grew up quickly.

Of course, this growth was not physical.

Even if it was only a few days, Su Ji, who had been guarding them day and night, could see the obvious difference.

The frequency of the blue light in his daughter’s eyes increased, and Su Ji could gradually feel some patterns. The appearance of that light was not completely random.

It would appear when her daughter sensed something.

For example, when Aunt Wu, who was holding an insect repellent pill, quietly approached her daughter from behind, and her daughter’s back was facing Aunt Wu, who did not make any sound, a strange look would flash in her eyes. Then, she would close her eyes and let out a breathing sound.

Aunt Wu quietly came up to her, thinking that Little Miss had fallen asleep. She looked at the deworming pill in her hand and shook her head, waiting for the next opportunity to feed her.

Su Ji had discovered all this from the surveillance cameras.

Ever since she decided to become a volunteer for the experiment, this was the first time Su Ji hoped that her daughter really had superpowers.

Even if that would make her daughter’s future life extraordinary, Su Ji still hoped.

Because her daughter’s life was exchanged for by her grandmother.

Recently, Pei Huai had been going out early and returning late every day. Just gathering those few treasures had already taken up 90% of his energy. However, he did not let himself stop for the remaining 10%. He devoted all of it to the upcoming wedding.

There were still three days left until the wedding day. There was a high-level meeting at the Pei family.

The content of the meeting was a summary of the previous quarter’s performance and the strategic deployment for the next stage.
