Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

“It wasn’t an attempt, he already did it last night. He just didn’t succeed!”

If it weren’t for her fast escape, and Mengqi’s help, she would’ve been done for by that beast Gu Shijie—

Suddenly, Gu Qiangwei’s expression froze, and her eyes widened abruptly!

Right, Mengqi!

Mengqi had left the Gu Mansion with her last night. Where could he be now?

Damn it, she had completely forgotten about Mengqi when she woke up.

“Do you have any evidence?”

As she was lost in thought, the police officer’s voice rang out again.

Gu Qiangwei lowered her gaze to the officer’s face, “Evidence?”

“Yes, you need to provide substantial evidence for us to file a case.”

Gu Qiangwei lowered her head, deep in thought.

She hadn’t expected Gu Shijie to do something so despicable to her. How could she have thought to leave evidence?

Right, Mother Xu!

“I have a witness, but…” She hesitated, unsure if Mother Xu would be willing to testify for her.

Under the police officer’s guidance, Gu Qiangwei returned to the Gu Mansion half an hour later.

One reason was to get Mother Xu to testify for her. Another was that whether or not Gu Shijie could be brought to justice, she had to come back.

Her phone, wallet, and many important documents were in the house, and these items were indispensable in society, no matter where she went.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the Gu Mansion.

Looking at the familiar gate, any warm memories Gu Qiangwei had of this home had long since vanished. All that remained were her father’s indifference and Chen Peifang’s harsh criticisms.

She reached out and pressed the doorbell.

The one who came to open the door was not Mother Xu but another maid whom she didn’t recognize.

Where was Mother Xu?

A swirl of confusion rose in Gu Qiangwei’s heart, but before it could settle, Gu Zhendong’s voice came from inside the living room.

“Is that Qiangwei?”

Dad?

Hearing her father’s voice, Gu Qiangwei quickly stepped into the living room and indeed saw her father, Gu Zhendong, had come back!

“Dad…”

For some reason, even though this father had shown her very little concern since her mother left, at this moment, she felt like he was the only family she had in the world. Gu Qiangwei’s nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears, blurring her vision.

“Qiangwei, last night…”

“Dad…”

Gu Zhendong hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Qiangwei, filled with grievance, could no longer hold back and threw herself at him, bursting into tears.

Facing his daughter’s sobbing figure, Gu Zhendong was momentarily stunned but eventually raised his hand and patted her back.

He had already heard about last night’s incident and had a general understanding of what had happened.

She must have been terrified.

“Don’t cry, it’s all over now.”

Gu Qiangwei let go of him, “Dad, you must punish Gu Shijie, he last night…”

“Qiangwei, Dad knows you were scared, but your brother didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Faced with her father’s words, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, her expression stiffening.

Her father’s response was completely unexpected.

“You say he didn’t do it on purpose?” she stared at her father, thinking she must have heard wrong.

“Yes, I’ve heard about it. Shijie had a few too many drinks at a social event last night, mistook you for his girlfriend, and that’s why…”

“…”

A single sentence chilled Gu Qiangwei to the bone, leaving her feeling as if she were in an ice cellar!

Her father believed Gu Shijie’s words without the slightest doubt, just like that?

And as for everything she’d endured last night, to him, it was merely a case of Gu Shijie being drunk and mistaking her for someone else… haha!
