Gu Man looked at Qin Fanghua, "Mom, dad is back! I'm going to meet dad!"
With that said, Gu Man was about to get up and walk out, but was stopped by Qin Fanghua.
"What's wrong?" Gu Man asked confused.
Qin Fanghua sighed and said: "After you sent the letter yesterday, my mother told your father that you wanted to come back, but your father lost his temper..."
Gu Man: "So...my father doesn't know I'm back?"
Qin Fanghua nodded.
Gu Man asked anxiously: "What should I do? Should I hide?"
Qin Fanghua comforted him: "Don't worry, I didn't let your brother go to court today just for you! Your father likes your brother the most. If your father loses his temper, then you can hide from your brother."
Gu Qinghe also comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, my brother will protect you!"
Gu Man nodded, it was great to have a brother.
Qin Fanghua said: "Mom, go to your father's place first and have a look. It will be lunch soon. At the dinner table, you can just apologize to your father!"
Gu Man nodded and then said: "Mom, how about I cook a meal for dad in person? Will dad stop being angry after eating it?"
Qin Fanghua looked at Gu Man and said distressedly: "My daughter has never touched Yang Chun Shui. How come she has learned to cook now?"
Gu Man smiled and said: "The days in the Hou Mansion were really boring, so I learned some."
Qin Fanghua sighed, "Okay, I think your father will be soft-hearted if he knows about it. I'll go to the front yard to take a look first."
After watching Qin Fanghua leave, Gu Man asked Gu Qinghe to take her to the kitchen.
After busying for more than an hour, I finally made a table full of dishes. Gu Qinghe kept working beside him, and felt heartbroken when he saw his sister cooking and cutting vegetables skillfully.
Gu Man made five hot dishes, three cold dishes and a soup.
Looking at the delicious, juicy and exquisite meals on the table that he had never seen before, Gu Zheng was slightly surprised and said: "She made these?"
Gu Zheng actually didn't even want to mention Gu Ling's name.
Qin Fanghua secretly sighed, and then said sadly: "Isn't it true? The child went into the kitchen when she came back early in the morning, saying that she must let her father taste her craftsmanship!" After that, Qin Fanghua began to wipe her tears and said, "I have pity on me.
My daughter, she used to know how to cook, but now she can..."
Gu Zheng interrupted Qin Fanghua with a cold snort, "She is not the one to blame! Who is to blame?"
Qin Fanghua's original intention was to make Gu Zheng feel sorry for him, but he didn't expect to make him angry again. So he quickly changed the subject and said, "It took a lot of effort for someone to prepare such a table of food, and now he's at the door."
We are waiting outside, so you can meet my daughter!"
Gu Zheng looked at the food on the table in front of him, but his brows were furrowed. He suddenly stood up and said, "Tell her to come to the study to see me!"
"Her father..."
Gu Zheng glared at Qin Fanghua and blocked Qin Fanghua's unsaid words.
Gu Man was standing at the door of the study, but she didn't dare to go in.
It was the first time I met Gu Gu's father, and I didn't know if her father was easy to talk to...
Gu Qinghe on the side comforted him: "That's it. Go in with peace of mind. My brother is waiting for you outside. If anything happens, just call me!"
Qin Fanghua also said: "Mom hasn't told your father about the reconciliation yet. You must not mention the reconciliation to your father. Your father will definitely be angry with his stubborn temper!"
Gu Man nodded, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
I heard a calm and serious voice coming from the study, "Come in!"
Gu Man took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door and saw Gu Zheng in front of the desk, Gu Man knelt down with a plop, "Dad, I was wrong!"
Gu Zheng is already in his fifties, with wrinkles creeping into the corners of his eyes, and his figure has gained weight, but it can still be seen from his brows that he was a very handsome man when he was young. His brows were furrowed tightly, and he looked very serious.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. She apologized sincerely first, so it was no longer easy for Gu Zheng to curse.
Sure enough, seeing his daughter like this, Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the criticism he had planned to say was immediately blocked.
How can this be criticized?
After a long while, Gu Zheng squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Tell me what's wrong?"
Gu Man said: "A daughter should not be willful and hurt her parents' hearts. Now that her daughter is not doing well in the Hou Mansion, it is her own fault. She hopes that her father will punish her!"
Gu Man first summarized his faults in a few words, and then told how bad his life had been over the past few years. After all, he had taken care of his biological father, so he was always soft-hearted.
Gu Zheng was stunned again, "...You know it very well! Since you know it, why did you do such a thing back then?"
Gu Man pinched her thigh quietly, burst into tears instantly, and said with great regret: "Dad, it's all my fault that my daughter is young and ignorant. Now my daughter is deeply aware of her mistakes. Now she wants to make up for it. I only ask her father to make up for it." Forgive my daughter! Don’t be angry with your daughter anymore!”
Seeing the daughter he had loved since childhood kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, as a father, he was heartbroken, his nose was sore for a while, and his eyes became red.
But he still said stubbornly: "A big mistake has been made, how do you want to make up for it?"
Gu Man took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at Gu Zheng, "Dad, now that my daughter has made a mistake, she doesn't want to make any more mistakes! My daughter wants to make peace with Mr. Hou!"
Gu Man didn't know whether Gu Zheng would agree, but no matter whether they agreed or not, she would definitely want to reconcile. At present, it seemed that Cheng Mo would not let him go, so before that, she needed to All other factors that would prevent you from being reconciled can be settled.
Gu Zheng didn't speak. After about half a quarter of an hour, he just said in a calm tone: "Have you thought clearly?"
The expected criticism and scolding did not come, Gu Man nodded, "Think clearly!"
"Won't you regret it?"
"I will never regret it!"
Gu Zheng suddenly sighed, "Okay, get up!"
Gu Man was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
Gu Man looked at Gu Zheng with some uncertainty, "Dad, don't you... object?"
Gu Zheng curled his lips and said, "Why do you object? I didn't agree with you marrying that Cheng Mo three years ago!"
"...won't dad worry that if his daughter is with the Marquis and the Queen, she will be criticized and gossiped by outsiders?"
Gu Zheng sneered, "They have such mouths, and we can't stop them! What's more, who dares to gossip in front of your father and me?"
…
Gu Man and Gu Zheng walked out of the study together. As soon as they went out, they saw Qin Fanghua and Gu Qinghe looking at the study with worried faces. Gu Zheng immediately darkened his face and thought to himself: Are these mother and son afraid of me? Is it okay to eat it? Ridiculous!
Seeing Gu Zheng's dark face and Gu Man's dazed expression, Qin Fanghua and Gu Qing thought that the father and daughter had an unpleasant conversation, and suddenly felt extremely anxious.
But Gu Zheng said coldly: "If you don't go to eat, what are you doing here as a doorkeeper?"
"Eat...eat?" Gu Qinghe said blankly.
Gu Zheng's tone was relaxed and he smiled slightly and said: "Yes! This is the first time I have eaten cooked food! It will get cold if you don't eat it, so hurry up and leave!"
Qin Fanghua was the first to react and was so busy: "Yes, yes, it is the first time for our daughter to cook, so we have to try it!"
Gu Zheng walked forward with Qin Fanghua. Gu Qinghe walked to Gu Man and asked, "What did you and dad talk about in the study? Why does it feel like dad is not angry anymore?"
Gu Man recounted what she had said to Gu Zheng in the study, and then Gu Qinghe was a little confused.
His father wanted to divorce her a long time ago? Is he still the same old-fashioned father?
At the dinner table, Gu Zheng was in a much better mood, and for the first time, he even served Gu Man a side dish.
Recalling every detail of today, Gu Man felt as warm as spring in her heart.
Forget it, forget it, you have such good parents and relatives, why do you want to be stupid?
This night, Gu Man slept particularly soundly. However, little did she know that this would be her last sweet dream in the next few days.
