After waiting for a while, Gu Jingchen heard the call being connected, and then there was a sound.
"Jingchen, why are you calling now?" the old lady on the other end of the phone asked, surprised and happy.
When Gu Jingchen heard the old lady's voice, he first called her, "Mom."
Then he replied, "I have some free time right now, so I just thought I'd give you a call."
"Well, is something wrong?" The old lady had already guessed it and asked her son.
"Well, I have something to do," Gu Jingchen replied. He didn't intend to talk about the specific matter at this time. He just said, "Are you and my dad at home today? Do you have anything else to do? I want to go home."
Hearing her son's questions and thoughts, the old lady became even more excited and quickly replied, "You are at home, your dad and I are both here. We have nothing to do today. You can come back."
"Okay, then I'll do some more work in the afternoon and I'll be back when I'm done, probably... around three o'clock." Gu Jingchen said.
The old lady heard it and had no objection. She happily responded, "Okay, then when you come back from work, you can have dinner at home in the evening."
Hearing the old lady's idea, Gu Jingchen rejected it in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly. After thinking about it, he only said, "Let's talk about it after dinner. I'll come back to talk to you about something first."
After her son changed the subject, the old lady was immediately more concerned about her son saying that he wanted to talk about something, and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, then your dad and I will wait for you to come back."
At this moment, the old lady didn't care about dinner at all. She had better wait for her son to come back first and talk about it later.
"Yeah." Gu Jingchen responded.
There was no further conversation after that, and Gu Jingchen hung up the phone.
In the afternoon, after Gu Jingchen reviewed several important documents and explained some things to He An, he left Xinyu Group and returned to his old home.
In the old house, the old man and the old lady had been sitting in the living room waiting for their son to come back after lunch.
When they heard movement at the entrance, the two elders looked at the door and saw their son.
"Jingchen." The old lady stood up quickly and shouted excitedly.
I haven’t seen my son for a long time and I miss him very much.
"Well, Mom," Gu Jingchen heard the old lady's voice and responded. Then he looked at the old man sitting in the living room and said hello, "Dad."
"Yeah." The old man responded.
Gu Jingchen then changed his shoes and then walked into the living room.
When the old lady saw her son approaching, she felt happy and asked with concern, "Have you had lunch?"
"Well, I ate at the company." Gu Jingchen replied.
The old lady nodded.
Then, after Gu Jingchen sat down in front of the two elders, the old lady also sat down.
The second elder knew that his son had something to do, so the old man asked first, "Should we just sit here and chat, or should we go to the study?"
Gu Jingchen knew that the old man was asking what he meant, so he replied, "Right here."
There are no outsiders at home. The housekeeper and nannies are always very knowledgeable and avoid talking to the owners, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Well," the old man responded, then looked at his son again and asked, "Has anything happened to you recently? Or is there something you want us to help with?"
These are all the old man's guesses. Because he doesn't know much about his son's daily life, he can only ask based on his own guesses.
When Gu Jingchen heard this, he looked at the old man and replied, "Something happened. I want to tell you and discuss the next steps with you."
