Speaking of Gan Chunliang, he was also an interesting person. In order to marry a divorced woman with a child, he broke off from the Gan family and left them. Otherwise, the Gan family's company would not have fallen into Shi Boyong's hands.
After Gan Chunliang left the Gan family, with his abilities and the support of his wife's family, he would be able to become a successful official. If he were to be transferred back here, he would become Gan Tingyu and Shi Qianduo's biggest support.
Shi Boyong was fearful of that.
Jia Qinian patted his shoulder. "Don't blame me for talking too much. Your family matters... You've already been embarrassed enough. It's better to keep it in check. Even if you have a good relationship with Shen Liuchun, it's not worth it to affect your future reputation and career for this. It wasn't easy for you to get to where you are today from the countryside."
Shi Boyong nodded his head. It was obvious that he had listened to Jia Qinian's words. When he left the study room and saw Shi Qianduo, he was exceptionally pleasant, "Qianduo, you have trouble uncle Jia's family for so long. It's time for you to go home." As he said that, he even touched her head.
Shi Qianduo was so disgusted that she almost slapped his hand away. She suppressed it and sneered in her heart. She was already disturbing them by staying at their home for a night. Why did he not say that Shen Liuchun and her daughter were disturbing their family when they stayed with them for ten years?
"Dad, I won't go back first. I don't want to cause trouble for Aunty and sister. I'll go to the dormitory later today and not cause trouble for the Jia family." Shi Qianduo lowered her head and looked like she was cowering. It was obvious that she had been wronged at home, but she was so afraid in front of her biological father.
Jia Qinian's wife's eyes turned red. As a mother, she could not bear to see such things. Gan Tingyu's health was poor. If she knew that her child had been bullied like this, she would probably die of a heart attack.
Although Shi Qianduo was not a professional actress, her acting was still very good. She pretended to be pitiful on the surface, but in fact, she was slapping Shi Boyong in the face.
As expected, Shi Boyong's expression turned dark, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're the young lady of the Shi family. Why do you need to look at other people's faces when you can stay in your own home? Be good and come home with me."
In the end, under Shi Boyong's coercion, Shi Qianduo followed him home obediently. The distance between the Jia family and the Shi family was far apart. When Shi Boyong came to pick her up, he had to drive through half the city.
On the way back, Shi Qianduo saw a stall selling cotton candy by the roadside and called for the car to stop. "Daddy, I want to eat that. Can you buy one for me?" Shi Qianduo said innocently.
"You're already an adult and you're still eating children's food. " Shi Boyong's face was full of impatience, but he still let the driver go and buy it.
Shi Qianduo took the cotton candy from the driver's hand with a face full of reminiscence. "Dad, I remember when I was young, you and mom would take me out to play every weekend. At that time, I would ride on dad's shoulder and eat cotton candy, but I ate slowly. One day, the weather was hot, and the cotton candy melted. It was sticky and covered your head..."
Shi Qianduo seemed to unintentionally reminisce about the past, pulling Shi Boyong's along with her.
When Shi Qianduo was young, his position as an official was low and he had a lot of time. At that time, his relationship with Gan Tingyu was strong. As long as he had time, the two of them would take their daughter out to play.
The good times in the past seemed like a dream now.
Shi Qianduo squinted her eyes and saw Shi Boyong's expression change. She knew that she had achieved her goal and did not speak anymore. She lowered her head and took a bite of the cotton candy, but she actually felt bitter. He was clearly her biological father, but the kinship between them still needed a little memory to be evoked. It was really sad.
The two of them finally returned to the Shi family home. Shi Qianduo and Shi Boyong alighted from the car. Shen Liuchun was like the hostess of the house, standing at the door to welcome them. However, even though her makeup was exquisite, it still could not hide the haggardness on her face. She smiled carefully and was very concerned about Shi Qianduo. However, her smile was bogus.
"Daddy, I'm tired. I'll go up and rest first." Shi Qianduo was too lazy to be polite with Shen Liuchun.
Shi Boyong also nodded his head, frowning as he ignored Shen Liuchun.
After Shi Qianduo returned to her room, Mama Song brought her a bowl of lotus seed soup. "I knew miss would be back, so I made this. Miss, try it."
"Thank you, Mama Song." Shi Qianduo took it with a smile.
While watching her drink the soup, Mama Song said in a low voice, "Little Mo took the opportunity to deliver the fruit juice yesterday and heard that Sir scolded Shen Liuchun and her daughter. In the end, Shen Kaiqi ran out in tears."
Shi Qianduo's expression was calm, "No wonder you look so pale today. When Shi Boyong lectures someone, he would never show any mercy. Do you really think that he cares about Shen Liuchun? He only cares about himself. Shen Liuchun has been in the Shi family for many years and has long regarded herself as the true master of the family, thinking that everything was in her hands. However, she forgot that Shi Boyong would never allow anyone to challenge his authority."
