"Xu Lai, you—"
Dai Ke’er hadn’t finished speaking when her phone rang.
Seeing it was the home phone number, Dai Ke’er held back her anger and answered.
"Mom, you—"
"Come home immediately!"
Listening to the authoritative voice on the other end, Dai Ke’er’s face went pale, and the phone almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xu Lai reacted quickly and caught it.
"Ke’er?"
Dai Ke’er, with a pale face, looked at Xu Lai.
"Xu Lai, do you know who just called?"
Xu Lai didn’t know, but seeing Dai Ke’er’s expression, he guessed it must be related to someone from the Dai Family, and a rather high-ranking member at that.
"Was it President Dai?"
Dai Ke’er blinked, a hint of fear in her eyes.
"No, it was... it was Grandpa."
Hearing this, Xu Lai shuddered.
"Ke’er?"
Dai Ke’er’s face turned even whiter. After a moment, she looked at Xu Lai, her voice extremely low.
"I’m fine. No matter what, he’s still my grandfather. I’ll go back by myself. You should immediately find my mom and tell her to find my dad. Don’t go back to the old house alone."
After speaking, Dai Ke’er didn’t look at Xu Lai. She randomly grabbed a piece of clothing to put on, then picked up the bag beside her and quickly walked out.
Gu Tiantian didn’t know what was happening with Dai Ke’er and Xu Lai.
At the moment, she was busy in the kitchen washing vegetables, while Gu Yunyun was chopping vegetables beside her.
Glancing at Gu Tiantian, Gu Yunyun’s face was beaming with a bright smile.
"Tiantian, President Cheng has helped you and Grandma. Today, Grandma invited him over for dinner. You look quite unhappy about it."
Getting closer to Gu Tiantian, she used a voice that seemed only the two of them could hear, though Grandma Gu, who was arranging fruits in the living room, heard it loud and clear.
"Tiantian, have you and President Cheng had some kind of secret affair?"
Before Gu Tiantian could speak, Gu Yunyun rolled her eyes, seemingly afraid not to draw Grandma’s attention, and added again.
"Otherwise, why did you suddenly resign when you were doing so well at that company?"
Gu Tiantian glanced at her grandmother in the living room who was looking over, frowning as she continued washing vegetables.
"I resigned because I felt the job was too exhausting and the environment was too complex. It really wasn’t suitable for me, and Grandma knows this."
"Please don’t judge others with a narrow mind. I’m just a small employee at the company, while President Cheng handles countless matters daily. We couldn’t possibly have any interaction."
Not satisfied, Gu Yunyun retorted.
"No interaction? Then why was he waiting downstairs for you two nights ago, and I even saw you get into his car later."
Grandma Gu, in the living room, looked at her granddaughter in confusion.
"Tiantian, did you go out with President Cheng the other night?"
Gu Tiantian nodded. There was no need for her to hide this from Grandma.
"Yes, I happened to bump into President Cheng the other night. I verbally thanked him, then we had a cup of tea or coffee, and I came back."
Grandma Gu nodded, smiling warmly at her granddaughter.
"Good, you did well. It was late after all, not suitable to invite someone in for a meal. Anyway, today is to properly thank him. When President Cheng arrives later, be sure to speak nicely, okay?"
Before Gu Yunyun could say anything, Grandma Gu quickly added.
"As for your resignation, since you’ve already quit, it doesn’t matter what they think up there. Don’t bring it up again. Your previous job was too tiring anyway, and I support your decision now to study hard and aim for staying at the school!"
