This time, Song Zhen didn't eavesdrop on Gu Xinzhou's room.
Because he was also striving to change, hoping he could get better and gain her approval as soon as possible.
And one of the things he needed to change was to respect her.
Song Zhen silently cleared everything on the dining table.
Gu Xinzhou finally emerged from her room and saw Song Zhen coming out of the kitchen.
Their eyes met, Gu Xinzhou filled with discomfort and awkwardness, while Song Zhen remained composed throughout.
He stepped forward, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?" Gu Xinzhou averted her gaze and lifted her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, "I'm going to Gu's to find Dad!"
"Uncle Gu will be here soon."
"Huh?"
"Just now, while you went in to take the phone call, Uncle Gu called and said he would arrive soon."
"Oh, right."
Since her son had already been taken to the airport by Cassie, and they were about to fly back to Italy, Gu Xinzhou no longer needed to hurry to the hotel.
She suddenly became very quiet.
She sat down on the sofa and took a pillow into her arms.
Watching the pillow, jealousy flowed through Song Zhen's eyes.
The two watched television.
The remote control was in Gu Xinzhou's hand, neither of them spoke, and he simply watched whatever she watched.
Seven minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Song Zhen immediately got up, "I'll go open the door."
Gu Xinzhou also put down the pillow and stood up, looking towards the door.
Little did she know, a glance was about to startle her!
Gu Yibo, with two large suitcases, entered alongside Song Zhen.
"Dad!" Gu Xinzhou nervously approached, her eyes filled with confusion, "Dad, what's this about?"
One of the suitcases was Gu Xinzhou's own, one she had brought back from Italy.
Joy radiated from Song Zhen's face.
Gu Yibo also looked at Gu Xinzhou, smiling, "I'm planning to sell the house.
Before I do, I'll stay with Song Zhen for a while.
And you've just come back, it's perfect for dad to stay here too, to keep you company."
Gu Xinzhou's face fell, "Dad, are you really going to divorce Zhuang Xiuya?"
Gu Yibo looked at his daughter with sympathy, "Silly girl, don't always think about others, some are simply not worth it!"
Gu Xinzhou blurted out, "I don't even care about Zhuang Xiuya!
I'm just afraid that my sister will be heartbroken.
A perfectly good family, with a dad and a mom, suddenly turned into this."
Gu Xinzhou was somewhat annoyed with herself for being impulsive the night before.
But she didn't regret it.
She wanted to hit Zhuang Xiuya, she had wanted to for a long time!
"Xinfeng called the police on you," Song Zhen reminded her timely, close to her ear, "She even slandered you, claiming it was premeditated murder."
Gu Xinzhou's heart skipped a beat!
Right, her sister had called the police last night, and even told the police that...
It was as if an answer was about to reveal itself.
It made her feel as if her entire world was being turned upside down.
Gu Xinzhou looked into Gu Yibo's hesitating gaze and Song Zhen's calm and restrained eyes, and suddenly her mind played her memories like a film...
"Ah!"
Gu Xinzhou covered her mouth out of fear, her eyes wide open.
But it wasn't a mental breakdown, she was merely startled and fearful after the fact!
Gu Yibo's eyes reddened, he reached out and hugged his daughter, "It's dad's fault for not protecting you well enough!"
Tears fell from Gu Xinzhou's eyes.
She was resentful, "Is it fake? Is everything fake? Even my sister... her kindness to me, her affection, her protection of me, is that all fake too?"
