After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I went straight home.
To my surprise, Old Dong, who usually appears and disappears like a ghost, was sitting in my house.
When he saw me come back, Old Dong immediately rushed over, saying, "Daughter, daughter, are you okay?"
"My goodness, why did you run off without a word? You scared your father to death."
Looking at Old Dong with tears streaming down his face, I could only manage a cold smile.
I pushed him aside and sat down on the sofa next to him. "Old Dong, don't you think you should explain to me why there is a GPS in my phone?"
Old Dong's expression froze for a moment before he laughed awkwardly. "Oh, I was just worried about you getting into trouble."
"You are my only child. If something happened to you, what would your father do?"
I couldn't be bothered to argue with him and threw the Household Register in front of him. "Here, take your stuff back and keep it safe."
Old Dong carefully took the Household Register and walked to the study to lock it in the safe.
Then he changed the password again.
I watched him do all this with cold eyes, feeling speechless.
Old Dong, my dad, had always taught me one principle since I was young: women must be financially independent and have their own careers.
If problems arise, the first thing to do is find a way to solve them yourself; unless absolutely necessary, don't ask him for help.
Because no one will help you unconditionally.
Even the closest people will abandon you without hesitation when faced with great interests.
So, since childhood, I have relied on myself.
Although Old Dong gave me twenty percent of Dong Group, it was merely for show.
The profits from those shares are all in my account, and I haven't touched a single cent.
I handle my own affairs; only when I encounter difficulties that I truly cannot resolve will I seek help from Old Dong.
After hiding the Household Register, Old Dong sat back down beside me.
He looked at me hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Just say what you want to say."
Old Dong rubbed his hands together and tentatively asked, "You and Li Xingyu..."
I smiled and replied, "We got married."
"What!"
Old Dong looked at me in shock, "You two, you really..."
I raised an eyebrow and took out the marriage certificate from my bag, waving it in front of him.
"Uh-huh."
Old Dong was dumbfounded as he took the marriage certificate and examined it several times.
Finally, he sighed, "A girl can't be kept forever."
"However, Li Xingyu is also a good choice."
"He's a bit temperamental, but he's still very reliable."
I nodded in agreement with Old Dong's words.
After looking at me for a while, Old Dong suddenly asked, "What about Li Chengji? How do you plan to handle that?"
I chuckled, "No need for me to handle it."
"He'll come looking for me himself."
Old Dong looked confused, not understanding why I said that.
But I didn't explain; I just told him to wait and see.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Li Chengji came.
He was accompanied by Wang Qiling.
When Old Dong saw the two of them, his expression instantly darkened.
I sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping the fruit tea that mother Li made for me, waiting for them to speak.
Li Chengji looked aggrieved and said, "Dong Ling, did you go to see my dad yesterday?"
"The news isn't what you think it is."
"I haven't been with Wang Qiling for three days and nights; that was my first time going to the hotel to see her."
Wang Qiling also explained aggrievedly, "I just returned to the country and only know Chengji here, so I could only go find him."
"And we didn't expect to be photographed by reporters; we were really very careful."
