Che Qin had arranged to meet in the business district near Lin Gantang's living area. Lin Gantang didn't need to drive; a leisurely walk and then across a pedestrian walkway, and he was there.
The two agreed to meet at a serene coffee shop.
"We just talked on the phone last night, I didn't expect you to come back today," Lin Gantang sat down across from Che Qin.
"I arrived this morning," Che Qin said.
After ordering coffee, Che Qin didn't drink but held the porcelain white cup in her hands, "Today... I went to find my dad."
The Che family's house had already been mortgaged, and Che Qin found her father living in a rental property.
"Is your father doing okay?" Lin Gantang asked.
"He's lost a lot of weight," Che Qin said, lowering her head in distress as she thought about the father-daughter meeting. "When my dad saw me, he was very cold to me, said very little. Do you think he hates me for leaving the Che family to go to H City?"
