TGDS Chapter 62.1

The Good Dad System (Arc 8) Chapter 62.1: After the Daughter Married Into a Wealthy Family (13)

Restaurants in the CBD naturally follow the schedule of people around them. Unlike those in shopping malls or residential areas, they usually start to open after 11 o’clock – of course, if they also have takeaway business, they will open earlier.

There was still a sign saying “Closed” hanging on the glass door of Pei’s Restaurant. Although the lights were on in the room, only a figure could be seen at the counter.

“Daijun, it’s Dad.” Pei Naochun answered the phone with a smile on his face. “What are you doing?”

Pei Daijun appeared in good condition on the other end of the video, wearing light makeup, and the background showed that she was at home: “I’m not doing anything, just reading a book at home.” There were several books stacked up around her, which were about art appreciation and the auction industry. They were somewhat far from her personal interests, but they were also content that she needed to learn.

“How was the soup I sent over last night? Did Junhao like it?” Pei Naochun has met his daughter at least once a week since he returned to China. The restaurant has been open for more than a month and has made amazing profits. He boasted to his daughter that he had brought a large thermos of soup to his daughter yesterday. It was a simple old duck soup with a few pieces of perfectly cooked lotus roots in it, which made it particularly tasty.

“It’s delicious. Dad’s cooking skills are really good.” She even shared some with Father and Mother Sheng last night. They all agreed that the soup was better than the one cooked by the nanny at home. They kept praising it and drank it all up. “Even my mother-in-law and father-in-law said that your soup-making skills are top-notch.”

“That’s not the case. Otherwise, how can I be your dad?” He patted his chest and winked, “You didn’t believe that my cooking skills have improved before?”

“Dad, you are really awesome.” She cooperated very well. When she drank the soup made by her father yesterday, she was also very touched. When her mother was still alive, she hoped that her father would work harder, improve his cooking skills, and run a restaurant! Unfortunately, her father has changed now, and she can’t see it anymore.

“By the way, you haven’t told me what Junhao said!” Pei Naochun seemed to suddenly remember.

“…” Pei Daijun was silent for a moment. Last night, she specially left two bowls for her husband to try. After all, it was a token of her father’s love and it was really delicious. But when Sheng Junhao came home, he just said that he was not hungry and was just tired. She wanted to persuade him to have a taste just to show her appreciation, but she made him angry.

She still remembered that she only said two things at that time. One was to ask him to try it; the other was that if he was full, he could take a sip to see how it tasted. However, she didn’t expect that this would annoy him.

Sheng Junhao was furious. He said angrily, “I got off work so late, I’m tired enough, I just want to have a good rest now. I told you I was full, but you didn’t understand? Why do you have to make me drink?”

Pei Daijun could only mumble an apology, feeling quite guilty. She thought, if it were her, she would be unhappy if she was really full and someone insisted on her having soup. So she quickly took the soup away and didn’t dare to bother her anymore. Then, another night of the same bed and different dreams.

Of course, she didn’t know that before Sheng Junhao went home, there was actually another girl accompanying him. They went out on a date, had a candlelight dinner, went to the observatory to look at the stars, and cuddled up to each other. Their relationship took a new step forward. At this time, her gentleness and thoughtfulness became an eyesore.

“What’s wrong? Is the signal bad?” Pei Naochun turned around puzzledly and moved towards the router.

“No, Junhao said it was delicious!” Pei Daijun came back to her senses and responded with a smile, “He also praised Dad!” This could only be a lie.

“Since he agrees, how about I prepare some soup for him? Haven’t you been telling me recently that he’s working overtime, busy with work, and easily tired. His company is only two or three hundred meters away from me. I’ll prepare it and send it to him. I’ll put it in a thermos, so it won’t be cold!” Pei Naochun patted his chest and promised.

“That’s not good.” Pei Daijun was worried that her lie would be exposed. Also, women have a sixth sense that makes her feel that her husband is acting strangely lately, which makes her panic and worried.

“It’s okay, you should care more about Junhao!” Pei Naochun pretended to educate his daughter, “Think about it yourself, isn’t this true? He is busy, you should understand him and care about him. Tell me, how long have you not come to the office to see him? Men are also fragile and need care! Listen to dad, you come here, dad will prepare it now, and then we will send it up together. Even if he doesn’t like it, just think of it as an advertisement for dad, telling people that the president’s father-in-law opened a store here, it’s delicious, and dad will take advantage and make a fortune.”

He spoke in a serious manner, but actually he had some twisted logic. For most people, work and life are separated – but he noticed that Jiang Xiaolian and Sheng Junhao should have basically hooked up, and he didn’t want to and didn’t want to let his daughter be kept in the dark, knowing nothing, and making foolish sacrifices.

“…Is that so?” She hesitated. Her husband’s distant attitude and evasive tone had piled up over time. Could it be that I really didn’t take good care of him when he was busy?

“Are you a man or am I a man? Listen to daddy, that’s right!”

“Okay… I’ll be there soon. Dad, please send me the location.” She nodded hesitantly and agreed.

“Okay, that’s it!” Pei Naochun nodded immediately. It was done. He hung up the phone, walked to the door with his phone, and looked from a distance. He could see the building where Tiansheng Group was located. The pointed shape on the top was quite obvious among the other buildings.

In the novel, this is a very important time point. Sheng Junhao and Jiang Xiaolian are getting closer and closer. They are in love with each other and have a mutual understanding. Sheng Junhao even uses his power for personal gain and says he wants to give Jiang Xiaolian some advice. He asks her to come to his office to help with work. In fact, he just changes the place to talk about love. Because of this, some people in the secretariat finally can’t stand her rapid rise to the top and her high salary; perhaps they can’t stand her being a mistress. In short, they pretend to talk about it during the break, and inadvertently mention Mrs. Sheng who occasionally came to visit her husband when Tiansheng Group was not yet big, and mention their loving deeds. Only then did Jiang Xiaolian realize to her amazement that she was someone else’s mistress.
