When Gu Zhuo returned home, he noticed his father’s anxious demeanor and instinctively considered taking a different route to avoid his father’s nagging.

He didn’t know when his father had become like this. They shared the same sentiments, yet his father insisted on repeating himself several times. If it weren’t for the fact that he was still healthy, Gu Zhuo would have suggested that he get checked for dementia.

Gu Hai still had excellent eyesight. When he saw Gu Zhuo, who had just returned from outside, he said, “Son, come over and have a drink with Daddy.”

Gu Zhuo reluctantly complied, and a servant quickly brought wine for them to sip. Gu Hai let out a sigh, saving, “I sent you abroad for so many years, and it’s a rare occasion for us father and son to sit together like this.”

Gu Zhuo’s expression softened upon hearing his father’s words, realizing that indeed, they hadn’t engaged in meaningful conversation for quite some time.

After raising his wine cup, Gu Zhuo proposed a toast, saying, “To the reunion of father and son.

Gu Hai laughed heartily and clinked glasses with him, saying, “Yes, this toast is to celebrate our reunion.”

“Have you not seen Miss Song recently?” Gu Hai asked as soon as he put down his glass.

Gu Zhuo immediately regretted his decision to sit with his father, responding with a perfunctory tone, “She’s on sick leave. I haven’t seen her for a few days.”

Gu Hai became animated, exclaiming, “You should visit her. It’s a great opportunity.”

“Why is it a great opportunity? I don’t want to disturb her if she’s sick,” Gu Zhuo responded, feigning ignorance.

Gu Hai stood up, explaining, “People are most vulnerable when they’re ill. By providing attentive care during such times, you can grow closer to each other.”

Gu Zhuo nodded, but in truth, he had no thoughts about Song Yin. Even if he were required to marry her in the future, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. She was someone who didn’t keep her word.

Upon seeing his indifference, Gu Hai reached out and tapped his forehead, admonishing, “This is an important matter, regardless of whether you like

Second Miss Song. You must marry her to gain the support of the Song Family.”

Gu Zhuo scoffed at this idea; he couldn’t fathom how marrying someone else’s daughter would lead to the Song Family’s financial support.

So, he started to go crazy on the spot, saying, “In that case, I’ll just go and pursue the Eldest Miss Song. After all, she hasn’t married yet, and she shares the same mother with the Song brothers, which makes them much closer by blood than Miss Song Yin.”

Gu Zhuo originally wanted his father to back off, but Gu Hai started to consider whether this method could be implemented. He paced back and forth by the pool and finally decided, “If you think so, then do it. Anyway, the Eldest Miss Song hasn’t mentioned whom she intends to marry. Both you and Gu Chen will have to rely on your abilities. If you can win her over, it’ll be considered our victory.”

Gu Zhuo couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He couldn’t stand his father’s wild ideas anymore. Who gave him the courage to think like this?

Gu Zhuo put down his wine glass and said, “I’m too tired today. I’ll go back to my room first.”

After saying that, he ran away without giving Gu Hai any time to react. When

Gu Hai came back to his senses, he could only curse, “B*stard.”

Gu Chen and Song Fan wouldn’t know what had happened in Gu Zhuo’s family, but they had already deduced what Gu Hai was thinking and felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.

Song Fan couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “What’s he thinking? I already hinted that Director Zhang was untrustworthy last time.”

Gu Chen responded, “My second uncle only believes what he wants to believe. He’s worried I might genuinely garner support from the Song Family, so he panics at the slightest hint.”

At this moment, Song Fan began to pull out the needles and said, “But he’s too anxious. This medicine is harmful to you. You have to follow the prescription I gave you for the next two days and take three bowls a day.”

Gu Chen nodded. “I will listen to Miss Song.”

Upon seeing that he still had the energy to joke, Song Fan knew that he was much better. She reminded him, “You must drink it. I think you’ll be able to see things tomorrow morning. You must be careful not to let this happen again.”

In Song Fan’s eyes, Gu Chen’s body was like glass. He couldn’t withstand any twists and turns or it would shatter.

The poison in his body was barely able to maintain its balance. If something else were to happen, it would be fatal.

Gu Chen continued to hold onto her. “Then do you want to stay with me?”

Normally, he wouldn’t say such words, but now that he had just recovered from the intense pain, he subconsciously wanted to keep her by his side..
