As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Zhou Zimo had already reached out to take the document file.

He opened it and swiftly pulled out the document inside. After flipping through it for quite a while, he put it back.

“She’s really transferred back?”

Zhou Zimo muttered in a low voice. After some thought, he put the document back.

“Yes, she’s transferred back. After so many years, she’s even more beautiful. However, she’s also more strict and cold than before. She’s still alone. If you really like her, you might still have a chance. It seems like she’s been under a lot of pressure recently. You know what kind of pressure I’m talking about.”

Su Chen closed the drawer and leisurely lit a cigarette as he said this.

Zhou Zimo did not answer, but his gaze was a little deep.

“It’s almost time to get off work. Let’s go to my house for dinner. Zitong is going back to her mother’s place today. Call Secretary He to make the three of us and it should be about right.”

As Su Chen said this, he tidied up the things on the table.

“Alright, there’s no need to cook yourself. Let’s go to the hot springs. What kind of look is that? It’s my treat! Did I ask you to pay the bill? Are all officials like you? So stingy!”

Zhou Zimo glared at him and said with some disdain.

“My little salary isn’t enough for you to stuff your teeth in! Don’t criticize me here. Alright, pack up and leave! I’ll call Ah Chen.”

As Su Chen said this, he picked up his briefcase and called Mu Yuchen on his phone, but Zhou Zimo stopped him.

“Alright, don’t call him. I just came from the Mu Residence. Grandfather Mu hasn’t been feeling well these past few days, so Chen has been accompanying him there for the past two days.”

“Still not feeling better?” Su Chen frowned.

“He’s much better now, Grandfather Mu was doing much worse before. Even with Chen and the others accompanying him, they still can’t compare to Grandma Mu. Sigh, I don’t know how else to comfort him. When we spoke to him, he was the one who comforted us instead.”

Zhou Zimo recalled what Mu Yinan had said to them at the Mu family’s old residence, and he could not help but feel a little sour in his heart.

“He and Grandma Mu were deeply in love, so naturally… if you have time, visit him more often.”

Su Chen’s brows furrowed even tighter. After thinking about it, he could only say so.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll talk to my old man later and ask them to visit more often. The weather is crisp in autumn, so a trip to a nearby city is not a bad choice.”

“The premise is that you have to be able to persuade them.”

Su Chen did not think so.

At dusk, the setting sun covered the ground in brilliance.

On the way to Tai Yu Corporation’s headquarters, Dongfang Liuyun and Dongfang Gan were sitting in the car, followed by Ah Fei and the bodyguards.

The driver was naturally Dongfang Gan.

Although Dongfang Gan was born in a prestigious family and had extraordinary status, every time he went out with his wife and daughter, most of them liked to drive themselves. It made him feel closer to them.

“Father, when you come back from Myanmar, it will be your 30th wedding anniversary with Ms. Song. Go out for your second honeymoon. You haven’t had a good rest in all these years. If you’re lucky, you might even bring me news of a younger brother?”

Dongfang Liuyun said as she flipped through the magazine in her hand.

Hearing this, Dongfang Gan was quite used to it. His daughter always spoke like this, so he was quite used to it.

“Even if your mother has that ability, your father can’t do it anymore. After we had you, I went for surgery. In this life, I only have you as my daughter. If I had a second daughter, I wouldn’t have doted on you so much.”

Dongfang Gan replied very calmly.

Dongfang Liuyun coughed lightly and said with a smile, “I can understand that you’re a womanizer and don’t want to make a low-level mistake, that’s why…”

“Gosh, even your mother doesn’t dare to tease me like that. You really have no filter!”

Dongfang Gan reprimanded her in a low voice and glanced at her from the side. “The last woman I’ll touch in this life is your mother, and it will always be like this. Your mother has taken good care of herself and is young, beautiful, and elegant. Would I still need to go out and hunt for more?”

“I’m talking to you! What’s with that look? Oh right, there are a few sets of cosmetics for you in the trunk. The ones that are tied together, remember to bring them along later. The ones that aren’t tied together are your mother’s. You also need to take care of yourself properly, otherwise you’ll age easily.”

“I already have so many sets of cosmetics. You don’t have to get them for me every time. Just get them for Madam Song, she likes these things anyway. Your daughter is naturally beautiful, she doesn’t need those things. Oh right, Father, you can only accept one-third of the generous gifts Qi Lei prepared tomorrow. You have to return two-thirds of the gifts to us. After all, you don’t lack anything…”

Before Dongfang Liuyun finished speaking, Dongfang Gan gave her an extremely displeased look

“You just said that Father was very important. You’re feeling bad for Qi Lei now just for a little betrothal gift? Do you still care about me and your mother? My daughter is a priceless treasure, can Qi Lei just marry you because he wants to? You’ve let him take advantage of him for nothing!”

Dongfang Liuyun coughed lightly. “Father, your logic is wrong. It was me who proposed to Qi Lei. It’s true. I swear! I was the one who proposed the marriage first.”

“So what? Your heart is leaning towards him, Liuyun. As someone who has been through this before, Dad will tell you that men are not so well-controlled. The more you take him seriously, the less he will cherish you. Look at how well your mother controlled me. Well it’s not entirely like that, I do respect your mother more.”

“You admit that you’re a wife slave?”

Dongfang Liuyun rolled her eyes at Dongfang Gan and said disapprovingly, “Putting aside my dissatisfaction with Madam Song, I’m actually quite envious of the relationship between the two of you. I have to thank the both of you for allowing me to be influenced by such a good environment since I was young.”

“I think that you and son-in-law will be the same. I can tell that Qi Lei is also a person who knows how to lead a good life. We’re all a little frivolous when we’re younger. To be able to focus and live a good life, such a person is even rarer. It’s not easy for him to have such a realization after experiencing so many temptations. Liuyun, believe in your father for once. Don’t think about the things that have happened. Forget everything that needs to be forgotten. Stay by Qi Lei’s side and live a good life.”

Dongfang Gan’s sudden words made Dongfang Liuyun stunned. After a long silence, she replied—

“I know. When I signed the marriage agreement, I had already steeled my beliefs and stance. I know what you’re worried about, Father, but don’t worry. I’d rather hurt myself than hurt Qi Lei. He’s innocent. He’s more suitable for me than Fujiwara. There’s nothing else between me and Fujiwara besides the past.”

Dongfang Liuyun’s tone was firm and full of affirmation.
