Qiao Mianmian blinked. When she was sure that she wasn't seeing things, she said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Gong Zeli replied, "I'm here to visit the patient, of course."
That wasn't the answer Qiao Mianmian wanted to hear.
She frowned and looked at him before looking at Father Qiao. "Dad, you know him?"
Father Qiao nodded and said gratefully, "Mianmian, Young Master Gong is my benefactor. He helped me a lot. Without Young Master Gong's help, the Qiao family's company would have closed down long ago."
Qiao Mianmian frowned and turned to look at Gong Zeli. "What's my dad talking about? You helped the Qiao family? When was this?"
Qiao Mianmian was completely unaware of this.
"This happened a long time ago." Gong Zeli's dark brown eyes flickered, and he didn't intend to say more. He said casually, "It's not considered helping. The Gong and Qiao families only cooperated in a few businesses. It's all mutually beneficial."
