In the end, Lu Zhanbei didn't tell her mother the reason for his departure.
This made Gu Qianqian understand even more that her mother's past might hide a huge secret, a secret that was perhaps untouchable...
With this understanding, Gu Qianqian decided to smarten up.
No longer asking, no longer mentioning, just quietly eating the food on her plate.
She had thought she could go home after she finished eating, but Lu Zhanbei received a phone call midway and took out five hundred bucks from his wallet and handed it to her.
"I have to go back to the office, you can take a taxi home."
Though she didn't know what important matter Lu Zhanbei had that made him leave in such a hurry, he did spend a lot of time helping her with school matters this morning. Now that he was busy, she certainly wouldn't stop him.
However, she shook her head and pushed his hand away: "No need, I have money."
