Gu Qiangwei was sitting in the living room and playing with Meng Qi after lunch.
A while later, she heard a series of footsteps.
“Take this.”
Gu Qiangwei looked up upon hearing the voice and saw Qin Sijue standing before her and looking at her condescendingly with his dark eyes. He had something in his hand too.
Her eyes stopped on the card in his hand—it was actually a bank card.
“For what?”
I’m just a ‘fake wife’. It can’t be that he’s intending to raise me, right?
Gu Qiangwei stood up and asked, shocked.
“Here’s 50,000,000. Whether to vote for Star Entertainment or not, you decide.”
Eh? Is he really prepared to give me 50,000,000 to spend however I want?
“Remember, you are now my lady. You can only bully others. Do you know what to do if someone bullies you?”
“What?” She looked up and asked foolishly.
A smirk crept on the corner of Qin Sijue’s lips, and his voice sounded like gurgling water. “Even if you mess up the entire City Jing, I’m here for you!”
Gu Qiangwei was stunned.
Is this man speaking the truth? The entire City Jing? Who does he think he is? The city mayor? Or the province mayor?
“So, do whatever you want.”
After making his point, Qin Sijue turned around and headed towards the main entrance.
Gu Qiangwei stood rooted to the ground, looking in shock as he slowly left her line of vision. Then, she frowned. She looked at the golden card in her hand, and her thoughts wandered.
The sound of a phone ringing broke the silence in the living room. Gu Qiangwei regained her senses and saw the caller name displayed on her phone: “Dad”.
She did not remember the last time she had seen this name appear on her phone.
What is this bolt from the blue?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Qiangwei picked up the phone and answered with a cold voice. “Hello?”
“Qiangwei.” From the other end of the phone, Gu Zhendong’s voice sounded restrained.
“Director Gu, how may I help you?”
Faced with her coldness, Gu Zhendong was stunned at first, but thinking about how he slapped his daughter, he felt that it was only natural for her to be mad at him.
“Where… are you now?”
Gu Qiangwei could not tell if he was asking out of concern or if he was interrogating her.
“Is that any part of your business?”
“No, Qiangwei. I have something on. I want to meet you.”
“Sorry, I don’t have time!”
Gu Qiangwei hung up without hesitation!
“Hold up, Qiangwei!” Knowing that she was about to hang up, Gu Zhendong hurriedly spoke.
“I know that I have not shown you enough care these years. You know, my company is very busy, so I can’t help that I don’t have enough time to handle everything sometimes.”
Hearing those overly cliche words, Gu Qiangwei scoffed. “Yeah, you’re too busy, even when you’re home on the weekends!”
It was very obvious what she meant; she meant that even when he was at home on the weekends, she never saw him caring for her!
After he was insulted like that, Gu Zhendong’s face turned sour.
“Qiangwei, let’s not bring up the past. Now, I want to care for you. Just treat it as giving me a chance, will you?”
Hearing that, Gu Qiangwei was startled.
“Care” was something that she had not felt from her father in years.
Yeah, after her mother left, she wished the most that her father could give her some care and fatherly love, but all of that was robbed away when Chen Peifang and Gu Shijie entered the Gu Family.
Now, that word was just a hopeless wish.
However, his sudden words made Gu Qiangwei feel slightly touched, and her heart went soft.
