“How is that possible? You’re my daughter. Let bygones be bygones.” Cheng Yu smiled gently and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork on Guo Lin’s plate.

Guo Lin looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously, not knowing what she was up to.

“Didn’t you see the news about Guo Miao?” Guo Lin said as she dug at the food in her bowl in disgust.

“Your good biological daughter has brought glory to the country now. Don’t you think you should go look for your biological daughter? Why are you trying to curry favor with me now? You must want me to acknowledge Guo Fu as my father now so that you can acknowledge your good daughter.”

Looking at the unfamiliar daughter in front of her, Cheng Yu sighed deeply and stopped smiling. She had indeed seen the news and knew about Guo Miao’s results, but the moment she saw it, she suddenly felt relieved.

No matter how powerful Guo Miao was, she couldn’t possibly be their daughter. Why couldn’t she treat her daughter better?

Moreover, even if she could not compare to Guo Miao’s achievements, as long as Guo Lin studied hard and was still a filial daughter, the family could still maintain a peaceful and warm atmosphere like before.

“Lin, I don’t want to acknowledge my biological daughter anymore. 1 just want our family to live happily and peacefully. You and your brother can get into a good school, and our family can continue to be like before.”

Cheng Yu’s eyes were sincere. There was a faint gentleness in her eyes as she looked at Guo Lin. She really wanted to return to the past.

To before Guo Miao returned.

Cheng Yu grabbed Guo Lin’s hand. “Let’s forget about what happened before, Lin. 1 hope that our family can live well.”

Guo Lin opened her mouth silently.

Memories from before surfaced in her mind. When they had quarreled before, Cheng Yu and the others had told her to leave the house and let Guo Miao come back.

Guo Lin took a deep breath. She was a little shaken.

It might be good if she could return to her past state just like that…

At this moment, the door opened, and the smell of alcohol rushed in. Guo Ming, who was wearing a windbreaker, barged in. It was only the afternoon, but he was already drunk.

The moment she saw Guo Ming, Cheng Yu screamed and widened her eyes.

“Why are you having dinner so early? The housekeeper at home has resigned, and you still need to cook personally?” Guo Ming was so drunk that he almost fell off his seat.

“Why are you two gawking at me? Why haven’t you gone to the Champion’s Restaurant to ask Guo Miao to come back?” Guo Ming laughed, revealing his yellow teeth that had not been cleaned for a long time. He had been living a very chaotic life recently. He was slovenly and sloppy.

However, what made Cheng Yu collapse was not his sloppiness, but the clear lipstick mark on his collar. There was also the faint smell of perfume mixed with alcohol.

Cheng Yu was about to break down. She couldn’t imagine Guo Ming becoming so dispirited. He might even have an improper relationship with another woman.

“What’s wrong? Are you angry? If it wasn’t for you, how would our family have become like this? You’re not as considerate as my secretary. She even knows how to comfort me.” Guo Ming snorted and turned his head away.

“Did you hear about what happened to Guo Miao?” Guo Lin looked at her good-for-nothing father and asked.

“Of course, I heard about it. Isn’t that for sure? But what’s the use? As long as 1 take back the company from the father and son surnamed Zhang, she’s nothing,” Guo Ming sneered. “She’s just a lousy researcher. The most important things in this world are money and power.”

No matter how much a scholar contributed, she was still just a scholar. How could she be more valuable than an entrepreneur?

Guo Lin looked coldly at the man in front of her. Cheng Yu had already curled up and was crying softly in his seat.

“But you should get out of my house as soon as possible. If Guo Miao was here, at least, I could marry off a useless child like you to the youngest son of the old Tian family.”

Guo Lin’s eyes turned cold. She looked stonily at Cheng Yu, who was standing at the side. “Is this what you meant? Can we still live the same life as before? How funny.”

She stood up, walked to her room, and slammed the door shut.

It was all Guo Miao’s fault that she was in this state..
