Chapter 4014: A Perfect Match (210)
Gong Jie smiled. “Okay.”
He hadn’t wanted to mention it at the birthday party in case it upset her. Still, from what he knew of her, she wasn’t going to be put off by this.
She was also looking forward to meeting Gong Shaoying. After all this time, she realized that perhaps Gong Shaoying had no ill intentions towards her or the boy. It was just that he had tried to achieve his desire the wrong way. And his desire, as Gong Jie said, was that of a father wishing for the reunion of his family.
However, there was no escape for him, from the responsibility of wiping out Youyou’s memories and destroying his first personality. She could not forgive him for this. Gong Shaoying had betrayed her mother once, although that was a feud between the previous generation so it was not for her to judge. But imprisoning the boy and turning him into a tool for his own profit was a second betrayal! It was no different from betraying her!
Gong Shaoying blamed her for her stubbornness. And she hated him for being heartless!
It had not occurred to Gong Jie that Yun Shishi would be willing to see Gong Shaoying. From her expression, she looked nonchalant and casual, as if she were talking about catching up with an old friend. He could not even see any resentment in her eyes. She seemed open-minded, with a kind of unconcerned calmness. He had never thought that she would be willing to face Gong Shaoying.
Perhaps Gong Shaoying was afraid that meeting her would cause their relationship to break down completely. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, Gong Shaoying had been avoiding Gong Jie. He was afraid that Yun Shishi would take the initiative to ask for a meeting with him, so like a coward, he vanished without a trace.
Thinking that he had disappeared, Yun Shishi assumed that he was gone from her life for good. Unexpectedly, Gong Shaoying suddenly asked to see her. As if by telepathy, father and daughter vaguely understood that this meeting might mean a clean break between them.
Still, the meeting had to happen.
In the background, Youyou could just make out their conversation, but the moment they turned around, he shrank back into a dark corner. He only emerged from the corner in a daze, after Gong Jie and Yun Shishi walked away and were out of earshot.
Vaguely, he heard his mother saying that she wanted to see that man. He got a little worried.
…
The day after the birthday party, Gong Shaoying learned that Yun Shishi was willing to meet him, so he pushed aside all matters and asked Gong Jie to arrange for the meeting.
Not long after, Gong Shaoying flew to the capital. The meeting place was to be at Gong Jie’s secluded villa in the capital. It was to be at six o’clock in the evening, and she would be there.
For the entire night, Gong Shaoying couldn’t sleep peacefully. He mulled things over in his mind. It had been a long time since he’d seen his daughter. How could he tell her how much he’d missed her and felt guilty about her all these years? He wasn’t very good at making sentimental remarks, but it was obvious that this might be their last chance to meet again. The next time, perhaps, would be at his own funeral.
Therefore, he wanted to seize the opportunity and organize everything that he wanted to say to Yun Shishi. But the more he mulled over it, the more confused his thoughts became.
In the morning, Gong Jie called to say that Yun Shishi had to accompany Yueyao in the evening, so the meeting time was set for noon. Yun Shishi would be there after lunch.
As though he was going to confront a great enemy, Gong Shaoying deliberately tidied his hair and changed into a solemn suit, looking especially formal.
Yun Shishi was punctual. In this respect, she was very much like him.
