Gu Xinfei clung to Gu Xinzhou like a sticky rice ball, her voice soft and sticky, "I want to go to the Gu's!
I want to go with Zhouzhou!
It's so rare for us sisters to have time together, I don't want to be separated from her!"
Gu Xinzhou cared deeply about her sister.
But...
If her sister followed her today, she wouldn't have the chance to slip away.
With this thought, she appeared apologetic, gently patting Gu Xinfei's arm, "Sis, I'll go with you next time!
Today I promised Dad, so, it won't work today!
Next time, next time!"
Zhuang Xiuya snorted coldly, "They're both your daughters, what's this about one can go and the other can't?
Gu Yibo, don't be so biased in your actions!
Xinfei studied business management and even went to the USA to take advanced courses in the subject, all so she could contribute to the Gu's upon her return!
She's been back for several days now; is visiting her own company to take a look around not the right thing to do?"
Gu Yibo had already taken his seat.
On the dining table, the lavish spread of breakfast, half of which were Gu Xinzhou's favorites.
Zhuang Xiuya pulled out a chair and sat down with a cold face.
Gu Xinfei and Gu Xinzhou both said nothing, quietly sitting down at the table.
Gu Yibo furrowed his brow, "I was never in agreement when Xinfei wanted to study this; I thought it would be good for her to find a nice family to marry into and be devoted to her husband and children!
It was you who insisted on her studying it, who insisted on sending her abroad.
Now that she has returned with her education, it's a good thing, and I'm proud of her.
But when did I ever say I wanted Xinfei to work at the Gu's?
What she learned in the USA, a lot of it is the approach of listed companies, which doesn't work here!
Many of my employees are three generations working together in the factories, even having a whole family where grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law are all employees of the Gu's!
My management philosophy is different from those in the USA!"
Zhuang Xiuya argued forcefully, "Just let Xinfei try it out, maybe her new ideas can be of help to you?
Besides, these days the trend is all about internationalization!
Just look at Song Zhen, do you see how wealthy Fengyun Group has become after going public?"
Gu Yibo shook his head, "My company, my rules!
No person, no matter, under no circumstance, will dictate my decisions!
If you want to meddle in my work matters, then you're just asking for trouble!
Because I won't budge!
You either live here quietly, without argument!
Or, you move out!"
"You!" Zhuang Xiuya was infuriated, "You're utterly unreasonable! Zhouzhou is your daughter, does that mean Xinfei is picked up from the streets?"
Gu Xinfei lowered her head in silent grievance, her eyes brimming with tears.
Gu Xinzhou hurriedly passed her a tissue, "Sis, Dad didn't mean to belittle you, he loves you!"
Gu Xinfei took the tissue and cried softly behind it.
Her appearance, like a weeping pear blossom, was utterly pitiable.
Slam!
Gu Yibo slammed his chopsticks down on the table forcefully!
The whole dining room fell silent!
He stood up, his face cold, "I'm not eating!
Can't even have a peaceful breakfast!
All the crying, fussing, and dramatics, is this what coming back from abroad with a gilded edge has taught you?"
"Dad!" Gu Xinfei stood up, wanting to explain.
But Gu Yibo had already strode off, "Zhouzhou! Let's go!"
Gu Xinzhou had to return to Italy today.
If she did not go back soon, Cassie would bring McDull to China.
She stood up, conflicted, looking at Gu Xinfei whose eyes were swimming with tears, "Sis, I have to go now, I'll explain later."
Grabbing her bag from the back of the chair, Gu Xinzhou quickly dashed out of the dining room, catching up to Gu Yibo's steps.
