Gu Cheng didn't care whether Yun Shu was at work or not; he always did things according to his own schedule.

Yun Shu wanted to tell her that she couldn't go home because she had to work overtime that night, but her father had already hung up the phone. Yun Shu frowned, a little angry. Over the years, he had always used this tactic whenever he needed her to come home, but she didn't want to and couldn't resist. She could only resign herself to going to the director. She was supposed to work the night shift, but now she could only ask for leave or swap shifts with someone else.

She had just started her internship at the hospital, and since she hadn't gotten in through connections, no one there was helping her. She was always very careful, never daring to ask for leave, afraid it would affect her future performance review for a permanent position. Thinking about her father, Gu Cheng's, temper, once he got angry, no one could calm him down. But precisely because of this, if he hadn't thrown a tantrum and insisted on keeping her in the Gu family back then, she wouldn't have been able to stay. So, even though Gu Cheng sometimes showed her too much favoritism, she still didn't want to upset him.

Because of the incident in the morning, and the fact that she was still menstruating, Yun Shu's work efficiency dropped significantly throughout the day. She even almost went to the wrong room while taking a patient to their ward.

I could only rest my head on the desk in the office for a while at noon.

After what happened in the morning, Yun Shu went to see Tian Li in the inpatient department in the afternoon. Tian Li felt better today and was able to get out of bed and walk around, but since it was a cesarean section, the pain at the incision site was unbearable for most people, and the incision site would not be fully healed in less than a month.

After getting off work at 5:30, Yun Shu took the bus. However, it was still quite far from home, and she had to transfer. She heard that a subway would be built in this area in the second half of the year, and if she took the subway, it would only take about half an hour, making it more convenient to travel back and forth.

After getting off work, Xiao Mingkun went to Yun Shu's door and knocked for a while, but no one answered. He thought that Yun Shu was probably working overtime and hadn't come home yet. But then he saw that there were no lights on in Yun Shu's house all night, so he figured that she probably hadn't come home and wondered if she was on the night shift...

Yun Shu arrived at the Gu family's residential complex. The entrance was guarded 24/7. Inside was a villa area, housing high-ranking military officials; this was the military's residence. Yun Shu didn't live here much; she lived with her grandmother in the Gu family's old house. Grandma Gu treated Yun Shu well, and Yun Shu stayed with her until she went to university. However, her grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, and Yun Shu only lived there for a short time afterward. After starting university, Yun Shu lived in a dormitory and rarely came back, even during holidays, occasionally staying for a day on weekends.

She didn't get along with the twins, especially Yun Huan, who always had a problem with Yun Shu. Plus, Li Meng always looked down on her, so she really didn't want to come here.

When Gu Cheng saw that she had returned, he immediately called her to his study.

As Yun Shu passed by Yun Huan and Yun Le, Yun Le whispered, "Sister... be careful, Dad..." Before she could finish speaking, Yun Huan kicked her.

"Why are you being so kind? Yun Shu, you were very arrogant last night, and now Dad is angry. How are you going to explain this to him and calm him down? Humph!"

Yun Shu didn't answer her question, but she knew exactly what it was about. Yun Huan must have come back to complain that she was also at the bar. Pretending not to hear, she went to the study on the second floor.

"So what if you're arrogant? You just did well in school and got into a top university, so what's so great about that!" After saying that, she took a big bite of the apple.

“You’re really not as good as her. She’s good at studying, studied abroad, and now works in such a good place as the First People’s Hospital of the city. Can you do that?” Li Meng came out of the kitchen and saw what had just happened, and also heard what her daughter said.

This child is really unmotivated. The things she's done recently have been giving her a headache. She often skips class, and the teachers have called her. Luckily, she answered the phone and Gu Cheng didn't find out.

"Mom, who is your biological child anyway? Why are you favoring the outsider?!" Yun Huan threw the apple into the trash can and refused to eat it!

"What, you can't even tolerate me saying a few words to you? You think you're all grown up now? If you're so capable, why don't you go work at the First Municipal Hospital, and then I won't say anything to you!" Li Meng said unhappily.

"Hmph! What's so great about being a doctor! Mom, I might find a job even better than hers someday!"

"Okay, Mom believes you'll be more successful than her in the future." Li Meng felt a little better after hearing Yun Huan's words. Whether Yun Huan went to work or got married after graduation, Gu Jia and her own family had connections and influence. In today's society, no matter how capable you are, without connections and influence, it's very difficult to get ahead in life. For example, Yun Huan's father, because of her family's connections, has seen his former colleagues in the same position promoted much faster than them over the years.

Yun Huan was in a bad mood and ignored them, going to her room to play.

Li Meng shook her head as she watched her retreating figure. Fortunately, Yun Le had a better temper; otherwise, she would have a lot to worry about if both of her daughters were like this.

"Ah Le, keep a close eye on your sister lately. Make sure she goes straight home after school and doesn't linger outside."

Although Yun Huan and Yun Le are in university, they live at home instead of on campus because it's close to home. Neither of them wants to live on campus; even the best dorms require sharing, which isn't as comfortable as home. However, their father, Gu, doesn't object to them living at home. Li Meng is even happier, worried that the two girls would be uncomfortable living in the dorms.

Yun Shu went to the study. The door wasn't locked, so she pushed it open. Gu Cheng's study was very large, more than twice the size of Yun Shu's bedroom. The large bookshelf on the north side was filled with various books, mainly on military and political topics, while the smaller bookshelf on the south side held his various documents and personal belongings.

The study was large, furnished with solid wood furniture, exuding understated luxury. However, it was quite empty, with not a lot of things inside. But Gu Cheng spent most of his time at home there. Even Li Meng often complained that the man was too dull, spending most of his time in the study and not spending much time with her and the children.

This is where Gu Cheng works from home. No one else is allowed to go in without his permission, not even Aunt Tian.

Yun Shu had been here several times and was quite familiar with the place. However, when she saw what was on the ground, she immediately froze, then her eyes turned cold…

In the middle of the study, there was a cushion that hadn't been taken out for a long time. Yun Shu had forgotten the last time this cushion appeared, but seeing it now felt incredibly irritating, and she could guess what was going to happen next.

"Kneel down!" Gu Cheng shouted, his expression clearly showing that he had a problem with Yun Shu. Yun Shu obediently walked to the cushion and knelt down.

Gu Cheng is currently serving as a senior colonel at the deputy military region level. It was not easy to climb to this position. He is almost fifty years old now, so the possibility of further promotion is relatively small, but that doesn't mean there is no chance.

"Speak! Why did you go to the bar and lead your two sisters astray!" Gu Cheng said angrily, then stood up from behind his desk, walked up to Yun Shu, and looked at her coldly.
