Do you know what to do if someone bullies you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I do?” she asked, raising her eyes innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Sijue’s lips curved into a slight smile, his voice like flowing water, “Even if you cause an uproar in the whole Jingcheng, I will be there to support you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this man serious or joking? The whole Jingcheng? Who did he think he was? The mayor? Or the governor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, make as much noise as you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Qin Sijue turned and walked towards the front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei stood there, still stunned, watching his receding figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she lowered her gaze, staring at the gold card in her hand, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ringtone from her cell phone broke the silence of the living room. Gu Qiangwei came back to her senses and saw the caller ID displayed ‘Father’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been so long since she had seen that name on her caller ID that she wondered if it was going to rain red today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Qiangwei answered the call, her voice suddenly cold, “Hello?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiangwei.” The voice of Gu Zhendong came through the phone, sounding slightly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Gu, what can I do for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing her indifference, Gu Zhendong paused briefly, but considering he had slapped his daughter before, it was only natural for her to be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Gu Qiangwei, this question seemed not so much concerned as it was accusatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does that have to do with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Qiangwei, your father has something to discuss, and I would like to see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I don’t have time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei didn’t even think before she was about to hang up the phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, Qiangwei!” As she was about to hang up, Gu Zhendong hurriedly spoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your father knows he has neglected you over the years, but you also know how busy the company has been, so sometimes it’s hard to manage everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his repeated excuses, Gu Qiangwei coldly laughed, “Yes, even when at home on weekends, you’ve been very busy, haven’t you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her meaning was clear — even weekends at home didn’t mean much care for her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Gu Zhendong’s expression immediately turned sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiangwei, let’s not talk about the past. Right now, your father just wants to show some concern for you. Will you give me a chance, please?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Gu Qiangwei felt a pang in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Concern’ — a word she hadn’t found in her father for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after her mother left, what she desired the most was a bit of concern and what’s called fatherly love, but all that had been stripped away once Chen Peifang and Gu Shijie entered the Gu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, that word felt like a luxury to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden statement tugged at her heart, and it softened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>",641,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.447Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4f524747ae4f9aa392c5f4ec3f9572a36609a9773f9adf2127a1f33cd0653ad","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-58","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-56",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
