Gong's father was instantly enraged by his words and yelled, "I'm your father! You don't tell me you're dating, and I have to call you!"
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I thought I was an orphan.”
Gong Yanli's tone was indifferent and detached.
Ji Tong, standing to the side, was somewhat surprised.
She had guessed that Miyanoko's relationship with her father wasn't good, but she hadn't expected it to be this bad.
"How dare you talk to me like that?!"
Just as Mr. Gong was pounding his fists in anger, a gentle female voice came from the other side:
"Don't be angry. Yanli is so sensible. She didn't mean to hurt you. Remember to get down to business."
Gong Yanli recognized the voice; it was the voice of his father's current wife, He Xiaowen.
Miyazaki was not surprised.
The Gong family never visited him unless they had a reason.
A sudden phone call couldn't possibly be as simple as just asking about his love life.
"Alright then." Gong's father's tone suddenly softened. "Go ahead and date. It's normal to have some thoughts at this age. But I hope you understand the difference between having fun and getting married. I've already talked to Lao Zhou. You and his eldest daughter are a good match in every way. His eldest daughter lives in China. She has an introverted personality and is very suitable to be a wife. It won't be like last time. You two should meet and get engaged when you have time."
Out of politeness, Gong Yanli listened calmly to his father's words before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gong, I already have someone suitable for marriage, so I cannot meet with this Miss Zhou."
"What are you talking about! What suitable marriage partner!?" Father Gong's temper flared up immediately. "Who do you think you are, you..."
"Oh dear, Yanli is probably still angry about what happened last time," He Xiaowen's voice came. "You know his personality, you should try to persuade him."
Mr. Gong took two deep breaths, suppressing his temper, and said, "Are you still angry about what happened before? I didn't understand things clearly back then, but this time I talked a lot with Lao Zhou, and our two families are cooperating..."
"President Gong, I only own one percent of the Gong family's shares, which I can return to you at any time. The Gong family's business has nothing to do with me. Who the Gong family partners with and how well it develops are also none of my business. I don't need to report to the Gong family who I date or marry."
When Miyahiko said these words, there was no emotion in her voice.
Ji Tong, however, had already roughly figured out the situation.
On the other end, Gong's father flew into a rage, "Where are you now? Come home right now! Let me tell you, as long as I'm alive, you can forget about marrying a disreputable woman!"
Even though the father's voice wasn't loud.
But Ji Tong also heard the words "a woman of questionable character".
Gong Yanli glanced at the phone that had already been hung up, composed herself slightly, and said to Ji Tong, "I'm sorry, it's all some unpleasant things happening in my family."
Ji Tong looked at the man, blinked, and deliberately asked, "Your dad was just talking about disreputable women... could he be referring to me?"
"I'm sorry," Gong Yanli didn't deny it, "but my relationship with him is terrible, we haven't been in contact for years, and he found me a new marriage partner. When I refused, I flew into a rage and said things I shouldn't have, so..."
"Oh dear, you didn't say those words, and I'm not blaming you." Ji Tong tiptoed and kissed the man. "I was just wondering if someone as taciturn as you would be burned to ashes by your father's rage?"
"It's alright, I can handle it." Gong Yanli glanced at his watch. "I'll take you home."
"And what about you?"
"I'm going back too."
In Miyazaki's view, her parents' home was no longer a home.
However, this matter still needs to be resolved.
"Then... what if you go home and come back and don't like me anymore? Or... what if I get a message from you in the middle of the night tonight, telling me that we broke up?"
Ji Tong's tone was joking.
However, there was also a degree of seriousness involved.
