Gu Mingzhu was clearly stunned.
The surprise was evident in her eyes when she saw Xia Yangyang.
Yangyang was used to seeing this kind of reaction.
Therefore, she was particularly calm.
Yangyang had known what she would face before coming here.
This was essentially a psychological battle for her.
But everything else seemed trivial compared to the potential loss of Xia Ye.
Gu Mingzhu seemed to have guessed something too.
She said nothing, merely opening the door to the study.
"Come in," Gu Mingzhu's voice was now calm.
Gu Qichen went in, and Yangyang followed him.
The old man was standing behind a desk practicing calligraphy.
There was a stack of rice paper on the desk, each sheet bearing only one character, "calm."
It seemed that the old man was truly furious.
Only through this could he calm his own heart.
After Gu Qichen entered, Gu Mingzhu walked over and said, "Dad, Ah Chen is back."
The old man didn't lift his head but continued writing.
The room was very quiet.
