When Gu Xinzhou pushed her luggage out of the airport gate,
she could see Gu Yibo from a distance.
Gu Yibo excitedly got up on his tiptoes, waving his arms, smiling and calling out to her, "Zhouzhou! Zhouzhou! Daddy is here! Daddy is here!"
A smile spread across Gu Xinzhou's serene face as she walked towards him with composure.
Finally, she reached her father.
Without any hesitation, Gu Yibo pulled his daughter into his arms and hoarsely said, "You heartless girl! You left for five years, do you not want your dad anymore?"
Gu Xinzhou hugged him, feeling the long-missed fatherly love, "Dad, you really mustn't cry, okay! With so many people at the airport, I would be so embarrassed if you started crying."
Her words made Gu Yibo laugh.
Releasing her, he carefully examined her face and discovered his daughter had grown so beautiful.
"You look so much like your mother!"
He held his daughter's head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
He let his subordinate push the luggage as he walked towards the parking lot, holding his daughter's hand.
On the way home,
Gu Xinzhou asked, "Is grandma's funeral tomorrow?"
At the time when Gu Yibo had called, he had said they would wait for her return before burying her.
Gu Xinzhou was across the ocean and had to consider the time difference as well as the flight duration, so she dared not delay, fearing her grandmother's body would spoil.
Feeling guilty, Gu Yibo touched his nose and chuckled, "Hehe, your grandma is quite healthy!
Last month, I went to give her some money, brought her quite a few things, and stayed with her for two days before coming back."
Gu Xinzhou's face fell.
She remembered her four-year-old son crying like a little tear monster when he saw her off at the airport.
Once a woman becomes a mother, she can't help but devote her whole being to her child.
Gu Yibo laughed sheepishly and then suddenly put on a serious face, "Your sister came back to the country yesterday.
Didn't you always love clinging to your sister?
You sisters haven't seen each other for five years.
Each of you left, and I couldn't even see you if I wanted to.
I had no choice but to deceive you like this.
And, Song Zhen is still waiting for your sister, and she is still single.
I was thinking, I might as well call both of you back, arrange a match if necessary, and then quickly get your sister married off.
That way, you could also attend her wedding."
A sharp pain struck Gu Xinzhou's heart!
She had left this place to go to a world without Song Zhen.
Only by doing so could she breathe, could she continue to live.
But now, it seemed that fate had decreed that there were things she could never run away from.
She looked out the window, "Then you'll need to be more effective in your matchmaking.
I've only taken a week off, including today, and the day I fly back, that leaves five days!"
Gu Yibo silently gazed at his daughter.
He had never dreamed that her change would be so drastic.
It was as if she had completely transformed.
When it came to family affection, she seemed to have become much more indifferent.
She used to be so attached to her sister, how could she possibly miss her sister's wedding?
Those classmates who had been exchange students in Italy, when they returned to the country, their demeanors hadn't changed so significantly.
A sense of doubt lurked in his heart.
However, thinking that Song Zhen was soon to become his son-in-law, a smile still blossomed on his face.
"Ah, the Song family was in such decline back then, and it was all brought up by that boy, Song Zhen."
Feeling delighted inside, Gu Yibo praised, "Song Zhen is truly amazing, he even made it onto the global wealth rankings at the end of last year!"
