Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Gu Zhendong's Call
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lunch finally came to an end, and Gu Qiangwei sat in the living room, amusing Mengqi.
Soon after, a series of footsteps could be heard approaching.
“Take this.”
At the sound, Gu Qiangwei looked up to see Qin Sijue standing before her, looking down at her with his deep eyes, holding something in his hand.
Her gaze fell on the card at his fingertips; it was a bank card.
“What for?” She was just a “pretend wife”; he wasn't planning to keep her, was he?
Standing up, Gu Qiangwei asked, dazed.
“There's fifty million in here, whether you invest it in Starlight or not is up to you.”
Uh, was he really prepared to give her fifty million to play with?
“Remember, you are my woman now, and you have the right to bully others, not the other way around. Do you know what to do if someone bullies you?”
“What should I do?” she asked, raising her eyes innocently.
Qin Sijue's lips curved into a slight smile, his voice like flowing water, “Even if you cause an uproar in the whole Jingcheng, I will be there to support you!”
Gu Qiangwei was completely stunned.
Was this man serious or joking? The whole Jingcheng? Who did he think he was? The mayor? Or the governor?
“So, make as much noise as you want.”
With those words, Qin Sijue turned and walked towards the front door.
Gu Qiangwei stood there, still stunned, watching his receding figure.
Then she lowered her gaze, staring at the gold card in her hand, lost in thought.
A ringtone from her cell phone broke the silence of the living room. Gu Qiangwei came back to her senses and saw the caller ID displayed ‘Father'.
It had been so long since she had seen that name on her caller ID that she wondered if it was going to rain red today.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Qiangwei answered the call, her voice suddenly cold, “Hello?”
“Qiangwei.” The voice of Gu Zhendong came through the phone, sounding slightly uneasy.
“Chairman Gu, what can I do for you?”
Facing her indifference, Gu Zhendong paused briefly, but considering he had slapped his daughter before, it was only natural for her to be angry.
“Where are you right now?”
To Gu Qiangwei, this question seemed not so much concerned as it was accusatory.
“What does that have to do with you?”
“No, Qiangwei, your father has something to discuss, and I would like to see you.”
“Sorry, I don't have time!”
Gu Qiangwei didn't even think before she was about to hang up the phone!
“Wait, Qiangwei!” As she was about to hang up, Gu Zhendong hurriedly spoke!
“Your father knows he has neglected you over the years, but you also know how busy the company has been, so sometimes it's hard to manage everything.”
Listening to his repeated excuses, Gu Qiangwei coldly laughed, “Yes, even when at home on weekends, you've been very busy, haven't you!”
Her meaning was clear — even weekends at home didn't mean much care for her!
At her words, Gu Zhendong's expression immediately turned sour.
“Qiangwei, let's not talk about the past. Right now, your father just wants to show some concern for you. Will you give me a chance, please?”
At these words, Gu Qiangwei felt a pang in her heart.
‘Concern' — a word she hadn't found in her father for many years.
Indeed, after her mother left, what she desired the most was a bit of concern and what's called fatherly love, but all that had been stripped away once Chen Peifang and Gu Shijie entered the Gu Family.
Now, that word felt like a luxury to her.
His sudden statement tugged at her heart, and it softened in an instant.
