Early in the morning, having gone without sleep the night before, Si Zhengting stepped into the Imperial Group’s office on the top floor.
Behind him walked Ji Chen briskly with several urgent documents in hand.
Taking a quick glance at Mr. Si’s facial expression, he sighed inwardly and then placed the documents on the table, staying silent.
Si Zhengting settled down behind his work desk and randomly flipped through a document. He kept his gaze fixed on a particular page, and moments passed without him turning the page.
Outside the office, May stood, waiting for the document to be signed before taking it and sending it out.
Seeing the look of urgency on May’s face, Ji Chen covered his mouth and coughed lightly. Mustering up the courage, he said, “Sir...”
Upon hearing his voice, Si Zhengting lifted his head. Before Ji Chen could continue, he spoke first. “Who from the Gus was the one who sued?”
Ji Chen was confused. “What?”
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows, making Ji Chen quickly straighten his back. “Sir, I’ll contact the legal advice department now to find out.”
With that, he walked out of the office, full of purpose. After making a few calls, he returned to the office once more. “It wad Director Mi who, upon discovering the problem with the design drafts, went to report it to their legal advice department. The department then simply followed the usual legal procedures and went ahead with the suing.”
At this point, Ji Chen looked toward Si Zhengting once more. “Sir, this issue...”
What do they do with this issue?
Si Zhengting was now full of opinions about the Gus, but it was still her maiden home, after all.
And... if Mother Zhuang won’t be able to come back because of him, how sad was she going to feel?
Casting his mind back to the time she had cried like a child both outside the convenience store and the school field, his throat began to choke up.
It was a while before he finally spoke. “Keep it under wraps for now.”
Ji Chen glanced at him several times before finally assenting.

The moment Su Yanbin’s car reached the Gu residence, Zhuang Nainai hopped off.
Full of vigor, she walked in fiercely. She was early today, so Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng hadn’t left for work yet while Gu Xingshan had yet to go to school.
They were awkwardly eating breakfast when she made her appearance. Upon hearing the sounds at the door, all three of them turned to face her.
Li Yufeng’s face darkened the moment she saw Zhuang Nainai. She put her chopsticks down loudly.
Gu Deshou, on the other hand, his eyes brightening, stood up to receive her.
Li Yufeng’s cold voice rang out. “People who know you will know that you’re welcoming your daughter; people who don’t will think you’re welcoming an ancestor!”
Gu Deshou turned livid, unsure of what to do.
Zhuang Nainai simply disregarded the couple and walked straight to confront Gu Xingshan.
Seeing the way Zhuang Nainai was approaching, Gu Xingshan was shocked into hiding behind Li Yufeng. Taking the offensive, she pointed at Zhuang Nainai. “Gu Qingyan, what are you trying to do?”
“What am I doing? More like, Gu Xingshan, what did you do? Was it you?” Zhuang Nainai stared her down with her piercing gaze.
Gu Xingshan straightened her neck. “What did you say? I don’t get you.”
Li Yufeng’s eyebrows rose. “Gu Qingyan, what has gotten into you?! Have you gone mad?”
“Me, mad?” Zhuang Nainai began to laugh out of ridicule. There wasn’t any need to be gentle or tactful with these people. Taking a step forward, she grabbed Gu Xingshan by the wrist and narrowed her eyes. “In front of your parents, Gu Xingshan, admit what you’ve done!”
