She let out a light scoff, coldly hung up the phone, and rolled out of bed. Pulling back the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window, she turned and stepped into the bathroom to wash up.
It had been some time since she returned to the country, and now her father's health had improved. However, she still hadn't found a new job and didn't want to be a parachute employee at her father's company, just muddling through. She had already submitted her resume to several construction companies in City A but hadn't received any news yet, so she could only wait patiently.
Her biggest wish had always been to open her own design studio, but for now, she wanted to accumulate more practical experience.
IKEA arrived punctually at the apartment building. Once in the car, she sat in the passenger seat and lazily glanced at IKEA, who seemed hesitant to speak. Turning her head to look out the window, she said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing to hide."
"Gu Da, yesterday Jiang Shao took that woman Lu Manqing to a hotel..."
"Yeah, I know. Since Jiang Shao is with his dream girl, we shouldn't disturb them too much. I understand the principle of giving others convenience while also benefiting ourselves. I don't want her saying I'm catching cheating without distinguishing targets. They say dogs rely on their power; we don't need to join in on the fun. It's been so long since Dad came back; we should happily accompany him for dinner!"
"Yeah, understood." There was no need to catch cheating over a fake marriage, especially when the target was Lu Manqing, the gold medal mistress.
The car slowly stopped in the luxury villa area. Gu Lvq Qi got out of the car and hadn't even stepped into the yard when she spotted a figure busy on the lawn. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Dad, your good daughter is back!"
Hearing her voice, Gu Fengchen looked up towards the gate. Seeing his Precious Daughter return, he quickly dropped the shovel in his hand and walked over. "My good daughter is back; come in quickly!"
Noticing who was behind her, Gu Fengchen paused for a moment and then turned to his happily smiling Precious Daughter: "Jiang Chengmu? Didn't he come back with you?"
"Oh, he went on a business trip; there are many things happening at the company lately. He'll come to see you after a while. It's fine; the three of us can eat together too."
Seeing her Strange expression, Gu Fengchen didn't say much more and nodded with a smile. "Alright then, it's hot outside; let's hurry inside. Auntie made a lot of dishes."
Holding a plate of Spicy Shrimp, Green Qi looked at Gu Fengchen, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the phone. Just as she was about to call him for dinner, she heard Gu Fengchen say to the person on the other end, "We must reduce the budget to the lowest possible amount; otherwise, we won't have any chance in the bidding. Have the Planning Department draft a new proposal. I want to see it in tomorrow's meeting. No excuses; the company will not support those who do nothing!"
It was unclear what the person on the other end said, but Gu Fengchen hung up with a dark expression. He turned to look at his Precious Daughter standing behind him and immediately switched to a smiling face, casually tossing his phone aside and walking toward her with a warm demeanor.
"Is it good?" Setting aside his work seriousness, he always maintained a loving father image in life.
"It's delicious! Auntie's cooking is great!" Chewing on a shrimp, Gu Lvq Qi turned to glance at her father, who had just recovered from an illness but was already burdened with work, and sighed with concern.
Although Gu Fengchen was busy with work and occasionally neglected her, he had never treated her poorly in terms of material needs.
Even though he spent little time with her, their father-daughter relationship had always been strong. In the mind of the nouveau riche Gu Fengchen, his Precious Daughter should be raised in a honey pot of wealth.
