Gu Changqing drank another glass of wine, emptying the decanter: "So you really do have a daughter? I not only missed her childhood, but also her adolescence, engagement, marriage, and now we have a child?"

"...Now is not the time to talk about this. Why don't you give me the Shen family's phone number and I'll contact them myself?" It's too late to say anything now that we've missed our chance.

Let's get down to business.

If I weren't so unfamiliar with Gu Changqing, I could have skipped this drinking session.

Gu Changqing took out his phone: "Since it concerns me, I'll naturally make the call. But I haven't called in years, so I don't know if I can get through!"

"Why don't you try it and you'll see!"

"..."

Gu Changqing was already cursing in his heart.

Is this something to be tested?

This is a matter of face.

Back then, because of pride, two people who were planning to get married went their separate ways and haven't been in contact since.

Li Zijiu was extremely anxious.

But you can't actually take it and use it yourself.

After all, this is basic courtesy.

Gu Changqing is truly remarkable; he can come out as soon as someone he doesn't know well appears when called.

Don't push your luck.

Gu Changqing finally dialed the phone just when Li Ziji was about to stare him through the cracks.

I answered the phone after it rang once.

However, the other side remained silent.

Gu Changqing didn't say anything either.

You can clearly hear the breathing of the person on the other side.

Li Ziju: "Why don't you say something?"

"Shut up, just say it yourself!" Gu Changqing threw his phone down in annoyance.

Li Ziju quickly caught it.

Fortunately, he was young and agile enough to catch it in one go.

Holding the phone in both hands, I saw that the call was still ongoing.

Without thinking twice, he put the phone on speakerphone: "Hello, this is Li Ziju, Chen Qi's husband. May I ask who you are...?"

"I am Chen Yu, Chen Qi's mother!" A pleasant female voice came from the other end.

Before Li Ziju could process what was happening, he blurted out, "Hello, Mother-in-law. Is Qiqi next to you? May I talk to her?"

Gu Changqing: ...

Melancholy: ...

Li Ziju also realized that what he said seemed to be a bit too much for others.

However, the words were already out and couldn't be taken back, so he decided to go all out: "My father-in-law, Gu Changqing, is also beside me. Do you want to talk to him?"

Gu Changqing: ...

Melancholy: ...

Everyone says that Li Zijiu is adept at navigating social situations and is calm and ruthless.

Ruthless and arrogant, his attacks are as fast as lightning.

The people in the Superpowers Division were afraid of him, not to mention the superpowered individuals who had committed crimes.

In any case, ordinary people are not qualified to enter the Supernatural Abilities Division.

Is that all?

Is that the kind of guy he is?

Are you sure it's calm?

You don't even think before you speak, okay?

Seeing that the other person remained silent, Li Ziju grew anxious: "Is Chen Qi with you? I'm very worried about her. She's very frail, doesn't eat much, and has a poor appetite. Please bear with her if she gets angry..."

Chen Yu finally couldn't take it anymore: "Send me your number, I'll send you my location and have someone pick you up. Come over and we'll talk. Oh, and your wife said she wants some fruit, buy some for her! I'll give you some pocket money!"

"Oh, okay, I'll add you then..."

Gu Changqing watched helplessly as the two of them used his phone to complete the entire process of adding the number of another stranger they had just met.

After they added each other on social media, they chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

Oh, and we even arranged a place to meet. This time, we talked without his phone call.
