“My life has been smooth sailing. I only suffered a setback with Chu An. 1 definitely won’t let him off.”
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yan took her phone from the side and typed on it. Then, she looked at the call on it and revealed a dazed expression.
Gu Man lowered her head slightly and could see the address on Zhou Yan’s phone screen. It was the word “Dad”.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, curious about Zhou Ping’s tone with his daughter.
The cell phone vibrated for a while before it was picked up. Zhou Yan had no intention of avoiding Gu Man and turned on the speaker.
There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. Zhou Yan suppressed the tears in her eyes and called out gently, “Dad…”
However, after saying this word, all the words were stuck in her mouth and she could not make a sound. Tears flowed out and her slightly choked voice clearly entered the cell phone.
Zhou Ping, who was about to continue staying silent, immediately panicked. “Girl, such a big thing happened to you. Why didn’t you call me?”
Zhou Ping’s words were filled with a gentleness that Gu Man had never heard before. Sure enough, no matter how sarcastic a person was, they could not be ruthless when facing their daughter. Of course, some scumbags were exceptions.
Gu Yuan’s figure appeared in Gu Man’s mind. This person had been more honest recently and did not disturb her because of the necklace. However, Gu Man knew that this matter would not be so easy. It was a sure bet, a shoo-in.
After all, there was another beneficiary behind the Gu family, the Zhang family.
When she retracted her thoughts, she heard Zhou Ping’s scolding voice. “You didn’t even call home for so many years. 1 thought you didn’t have me in your heart anymore. Why did you think of calling today? You’re suffering and you want to come back?”
Although most of them were scolding words, the worry in them could not be concealed no matter how harsh the words were. Zhou Yan’s tears were even more turbulent, but at this moment, she could not help but say, “I’m sorry, Dad.”
It was unknown if it was because her crying tone was too obvious or if this apology came too late, but there was immediately no sound on the other end of the phone. Zhou Yan thought that she had been hung up on and picked up her phone in a panic.
Through her blurry vision, she could clearly see that the call had not been hung up. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
It was only at the end of the call that a deep sigh came from the other end. “I told you long ago that that kid from the Chu family is useless, but you still insisted.”
“Dad, it’s my fault. I don’t know what to do now. I’m afraid it will affect you.”
“How can you think like that? It has nothing to do with me if he did something wrong. How can it affect us? You just have to vent your anger. The Zhou family will take responsibility for everything.”
Zhou Yan’s heart was filled with sweetness. The corners of her lips curled up, and she did not sound sad anymore. “By the way, Dad, there’s a girl who helped me a lot this time. I’ve already acknowledged her as my sister. I’ll bring her home to show you next time.”
When Gu Man heard this, a smile appeared on her lips. If Zhou Ping knew that this person was her, he would definitely not allow Zhou Yan to bring her home.
“Okay, okay. Since she helped you, 1 must thank her properly.”
“Dad, 1 still want to deal with some things in the next few days. I might be able to go home in a few days.”
“It’s fine. You can come back whenever you want. The Zhou Family will always be your home.”
Zhou Yan’s heart warmed because of these words. She subconsciously smiled and agreed.
Soon, the call was hung up. Zhou Yan looked up at Gu Man. “Sister Gu, you won’t mind if I bring you to the Zhou Family, right? Because 1 have nothing to thank you for. The only thing that you would like is the Zhou Family’s power. Although the Zhou Family is not eye-catching among the four major families, they can still contribute to some things.”
Gu Man nodded slightly. She wondered what Zhou Ping’s expression would be when he saw that she was the one that helped her..
