Recently, Gu Lingsha had been calling the Gu residence or the Hui Gu Corporation very often all for Gu Qiwu, but he never answered. Ah Yong was afraid that he might be in a dilemma.

Now that Gu Lingsha had decided to come back, Gu Qiwu probably had nowhere else to run. If she had gone to the company to confront Miss Lingshi instead, it would be even worse.

Gu Qiwu had certainly thought about the situation Ah Yong was worried about.

After pondering for a moment, he put away the documents in his hand and glanced at Ah Yong coldly. “If she does come back here, just let her.”

Gu Qiwu’s expression was very cold when he said that. Before Ah Yong could say anything, he got up and turned around to walk towards the side of the pavilion with his arms behind his back. He looked calm, but Ah Yong could not see through his emotions at all.

Gu Lingsha took a direct flight to City B. She had not been back here for a long time. The last time she returned, Doris had still been there. In fact, she did not dare to return because she was afraid that it would remind her of Doris after seeing this familiar city. However, she was surprised to find that the Gu residence had undergone a major change. The design style was no longer what she and her mother liked. It had been completely renovated into another style, and there was no trace of the house she remembered…

Gu Lingsha raised her head and silently looked at all the great changes in front of her. As she stood in the simple and elegant hall, it felt as if there was a large hand clutching her heart tightly.

She did not expect her cold father to do all these for Mu Lingshi!

Were all the good times they had not enough to make up for what happened?

She could not help but feel sorrow in her heart. All these were supposed to be hers, but now…

She thought about the stark differences between her circumstances and Mu Lingshi who had gained from everything that had happened.

Gu Lingsha felt bitter and resentful as she looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. She clenched her fists tightly.

“Miss Lingsha, Boss asked you to go see him at the pavilion in the backyard where he’ll be waiting for you.” She was struck by Ah Yong’s voice from behind.

Gu Lingsha took a deep breath before turning around and walking towards the side door.

When she reached the pavilion in the backyard, she could see Gu Qiwu from afar as she stood at the staircase. He was facing away from her as he stood near the railings of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Jade Lake underneath the pavilion.

It was still the same tall, built figure, dressed in a neat black suit. He seemed punctilious. She could feel the pressure and tension as she watched from afar.

Gu Lingsha hesitated for a moment before walking up the steps and stood behind Gu Qiwu.

Her red lips trembled slightly. Just when she was about to say something, Gu Qiwu had already spoken, “You came back.”

Gu Lingsha did not know how to deal with a conversation starter like this. All the questions and confrontations suddenly felt like they were stuck in her throat and she could not seem to get them out. After a long pause, she still could not utter a single word…

“Why did the house become like this?” Gu Lingsha finally asked after pondering for a long time.

“Lingshi’s here for the first time, and she’ll be staying here permanently, so we changed the house to the style they like. Your room’s still kept the same. If you’re genuinely back here to visit, then it’s certainly good. You may stay longer,” Gu Qiwu said calmly as if he did not know Gu Lingshi’s intention at all.

“You really care about her, Father. Do you have nothing to say to me?” Gu Lingsha questioned him coldly as she could no longer contain the dissatisfaction in her heart.

“I’ve always thought that growing up, I was at least average in your eyes, but I never expected…”

“If you’re still talking about the Hui Gu Corporation, then you need not say more. You’re not the right person for the company.” Gu Qiwu cut Gu Lingsha off without waiting for her to finish.

“Why? Why? Why do you say that I’m not? Is Mu Lingshi really the right person? Why makes her worthy of the position? Father, you can’t just deny my capability like this. I’m upset because I’ve done so much for the Hui Gu Corporation. Father, why would you deny me and let Mu Lingshi take the Hui Gu Corporation away without any effort at all? You’re being unfair!” Gu Lingsha burst out in anger after hearing what he said. She looked at him distantly as she stepped forward and tried to suppress the rage in her.

“Fair? Tell me what do you mean by fair? When you were growing up, have I failed my responsibility as a father? Have I ever treated you and your mother poorly? Moreover, I compensated you with a large sum, haven’t I?” Gu Qiwu frowned and finally turned to look at her beside him.

“Mu Lingshi deserves it for having such a horrible mother! A large sum? Why don’t you give her the money instead? Father, I know that when it comes to Mother, you’ve always been resentful, but you failed her first. Even though Mother didn’t do the right thing, you shouldn’t deny me because of that!”

“Your mother and I…and Zixi’s affairs are none of your business and I have no prejudice against you because of them. The reason why you’re not fit to be the Hui Gu Corporation’s heir is just your personality and character. There’s nothing wrong with just standing by Qi Feng with content and not thinking about other things. It’s not a bad thing at all to be content,” Gu Qiwu said in a deep voice, but it made Gu Lingsha sneer.

“Sounds like a glorified reason. Father, do I mean nothing at all to you? Is Mu Lingshi your only daughter now? Otherwise, why would you not bother to answer even a single phone call?” Her tone became harsher and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as Gu Lingsha clenched her fists.

However, despite her growing anger, Gu Qiwu had become much calmer. He frowned and glanced at her. “Lingsha, Lingshi’s your sister. I hope you won’t direct your negative emotions towards her.”
