Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Person to Meet.
For him, her role as his fake wife was merely his tool to shield himself from his family!
Just as he said, their relationship was nothing more than a matter of convenience.
“I understand.” Having her answer, she now had a sense of proportion and wouldn’t let her heart “act up.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qiangwei let out a deep sigh, and at that moment, someone knocked on the door.
A knock on the door, yet it made her whole body tense up, her hair standing on end!
Not until she heard Gu Zhendong’s voice from outside did Gu Qiangwei finally relax.
She had thought it was Gu Shijie coming to harass her again.
She got up, walked over, opened the door, and saw Gu Zhendong’s face smiling.
“Why have you locked yourself in the study?”
Glancing at her father, Gu Qiangwei didn’t plan to explain. After all, even if she did, he wouldn’t believe her.
Indeed, who would believe that a half-brother would bully his own sister? In others’ eyes, that was simply absurd and laughable.
“Nothing much, just felt sleepy, so I came in to take a nap.”
It wasn’t that Gu Zhendong didn’t question her word; it was just that the reason for her staying there was negligible to him, completely ignorable.
As for his thoughts, they revolved around temporarily flattering this daughter of his, to have her accompany him later to meet someone important.
“Dinner’s ready, let’s go downstairs to eat.”
Saying this, Gu Zhendong turned and headed downstairs.
Following behind him, Gu Qiangwei, seeing his effortless movements and noting no peculiarities in his appearance, couldn’t help but ask.
“Dad, is your health… better?”
When he heard the voice behind him, Gu Zhendong was slightly startled, turned his head, his smile somewhat unnatural.
“Hehe, it’s fine after taking the medicine.”
Without thinking much, Gu Qiangwei followed him to the dining room downstairs.
Upon entering the dining room, she saw the two people she disliked the most sitting at the table.
Seeing her, Chen Peifang, unlike usual, did not show unpleasantness, but was also not overly enthusiastic.
With that, she started eating with her chopsticks right away.
Gu Qiangwei was sitting opposite Gu Shijie, and the moment she looked up, she caught his sinister smile, which she found extremely distasteful and disgusting!
“Qiangwei, eat more of this dish.”
Saying so, Gu Zhendong picked some food for her.
At his action, Gu Qiangwei was slightly startled.
Ever since she could remember, this was probably the first time her father had served her food, which only further confirmed her suspicions.
Her father really was trying to make amends.
“By the way, who are you taking me to meet later?” Recalling what he had said earlier, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but speak up.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Zhendong paused in his action of picking food, his face slightly stiffening.
But he quickly smiled again, “Someone very important, you’ll know once you’re there.”
With his response, Gu Qiangwei didn’t ask further, assuming the person her father was taking her to meet was an old acquaintance, or perhaps…
Looking up, a terrible thought flashed through her mind.
Her mother had disappeared for twelve years; could it be that he had locked her up to be with Chen Peifang?
And the person they were about to meet, could it be her mother?
Of course, these were just suspicions in her mind.
After dinner, Gu Zhendong indeed took Gu Qiangwei out of the Gu Mansion.
The black sedan gradually drove under the night sky, and after a while, stopped in front of an entertainment club.
“We’re here, get out of the car.” Gu Zhendong was the first to get out.
