Gu Xinfei felt the urge to turn around and run away!
But…
Due to overwhelming nervousness, because of a sense of panic and endless falling in her heart, her feet surprisingly wouldn't obey her commands and were rooted to the spot!
If not for the blush on her cheeks and her lipstick, that pale face, those pitiful lips, would've certainly betrayed her inner turmoil!
Gu Xinfei clenched the purse in her hand.
She wanted to call her mother for help.
All these years, the reason she could assume the role of the legitimate young mistress in the Gu Family, in front of Zhouzhou, was entirely because she knew this secret that Gu Xinzhou didn't!
Song Zhen gave Gu Xinzhou an assuring look, "I'm measured in what I do, don't worry."
Song Zhen then turned and left.
Throughout the event, he only interacted with Gu Yibo and Gu Xinzhou, completely ignoring Cassie's presence.
This was in stark contrast to his usual magnanimity and gentlemanly character.
But he couldn't help it—Song Zhen simply couldn't afford to be generous towards his rival.
So, it was only in front of Cassie that he allowed himself to be petty.
Song Zhen walked past Gu Xinfei, heading in the direction of the reserved private room.
Qi Lei stepped forward, his voice gentle, "Miss Gu, the Boss has gone ahead, please join him!"
Gu Xinfei looked pleadingly at Gu Yibo, "Daddy, maybe I could just stay here with you…"
"Go on," Gu Yibo smiled at her, "Xinfeng, you've grown up now, and you've lived abroad independently for five years.
Dad believes that you are capable of handling many problems.
In fact, during the process of growing up, we all face various issues.
Don't be afraid, go ahead, confront it, and solve it."
Gu Yibo's words made Gu Xinfei even less willing to go!
She didn't understand, what did Song Zhen want to talk to her about by asking her to come over?
Qi Lei took a step forward, "Miss Gu, don't keep the Boss waiting too long."
Gu Xinfei: "..."
Her father wouldn't help her, her sister watched in silence, and then there was Cassie, whose eyes were filled with sympathy as she looked at her.
Gu Xinfei suddenly felt that she truly saw these people clearly now.
Especially Qi Lei!
Taking advantage of someone's power! A snob!
In the past, he never spoke to her like this, he always treated her like an ancestral deity!
Gu Xinfei took a deep breath.
She told herself not to be afraid, no matter what happens, don't be afraid!
Resolutely turning around, she walked elegantly towards the direction of the private room in her high heels!
After Gu Xinfei left.
Gu Yibo said with a chuckle, "Let's continue eating."
Gu Xinzhou took a sip of her drink and asked, "By the way, Dad, where's my passport? It's time to give it back to me, right?"
Gu Yibo grinned, playfully responding, "Once something is in my possession, you expect to get it back?"
He shook his head cutely, "Impossible! I won't give it back to you!"
Cassie giggled, looking at Gu Xinzhou, "You rarely come back, and Uncle truly misses you.
Why don't you stay here for a while, see if there's anything that needs resolving, and then we can talk about it once everything is sorted out.
Don't rush off anywhere.
Xiaozhou, avoiding issues won't solve them."
Gu Yibo simply adored Cassie, "Exactly, exactly! Cassie understands!"
After dinner, Gu Xinzhou went to the hotel with Cassie.
Since Gu Yibo trusted Cassie completely, and considering Cassie had a two-bedroom presidential suite, Gu Xinzhou could have her own independent room there, so she didn't need to worry about anything.
However, Gu Yibo didn't leave right away.
He was still worried about Gu Xinfei.
So, he sat at a table outside the private room, ordered a coffee for himself, and waited quietly for his elder daughter to finish her talk with Song Zhen.
