You Changed the Password?

Ding dong!

After a few seconds, the maid opened the door and greeted Gu Qiangwei respectfully when she saw her. "Welcome back, miss."

"Aunt Xu, what's wrong with the lock?"

When she heard Gu Qiangwei, Aunt Xu wanted to speak, but stopped herself. She glanced at Chen Peifang, who was sitting on the sofa, from the corners of her eyes.

That single glance was sufficient for Gu Qiangwei to understand everything.

Carrying her bag, she walked into the living room. Her beautiful dark eyes stared directly at the woman on the sofa.

"You changed the password?"

Upon seeing that she had returned, Chen Peifang did not show a pleasant expression. "Yes."

Gu Qiangwei walked over and asked interrogatively, "Who are you to do that?"

Chen Peifang only glanced at her disdainfully before continuing to watch TV. "There was a problem with the previous password. Of course I had to change it."

"Then what's the current password?"

This time, Chen Peifang did not open her mouth again. She seemed like she did not intend to answer her question at all.

Gu Qiangwei knew that she did not plan to tell her the password, and could not help but let out a mocking laugh.

This was her home. However, it was as if she was merely staying here temporarily—she even had to press the doorbell to enter.

She glanced at Chen Peifang coldly from the corners of her eyes. Gu Qiangwei did not plan on placing herself in a tough position, so she carried her bag and went to the second floor.

When she returned to her room, she took out a phone and wanted to call her father.

However, when she reached her father's number, she hesitated.

The reason why Chen Peifang could live here was because she had given birth to a son for her father. Gu Qiangwei knew that her father had a strong patriarchal ideology.

In this home, her position was evidently lower than Gu Shijie's. However, it was not to the extent that Gu Zhendong would view her with disdain.

After hesitating for a bit more, Gu Qiangwei finally dialed her father's number.

He picked up the call after a short while.

However, before Gu Qiangwei could speak, she heard Gu Zhendong's urgent voice. "Qiangwei, Dad's a bit busy now. If you have anything to say to me, tell me later."

Upon finishing his sentence, he did not even wait for Gu Qiangwei to speak before a busy line sounded on the receiver.

When she heard the cold sound of the busy line, Gu Qiangwei immediately felt like she was in an ice vault and was very disheartened.

Forget it. After all, I'm used to it!

At the same time, in the dining room downstairs.

Chen Peifang was sitting at the dining table and had already picked up her chopsticks. Upon seeing that, Aunt Xu bowed towards her. "Madam, I'll go call Miss to come down and eat."

As she spoke, Aunt Xu turned around and was about to leave.

"Did I ask you to call her?"

Behind her, Chen Peifang's icy-cold voice sounded.

Aunt Xu paused, turned her head around, and looked at her in confusion.

Is this how Madam treats Miss once Old Master leaves?

"But…"

"If you have nothing to do, go away!"

When faced with Chen Peifang's orders, Aunt Xu wanted to say something, yet she had no power to resist her.

"Yes."

Upstairs, Gu Qiangwei tidied up her emotions and looked at the time—it was already 7:20 PM. Aunt Xu still had not called her for dinner?

Puzzled, she went downstairs.

At that moment, Chen Peifang had already finished her dinner. She looked like she was about to leave the house.

"Take care, Madam."

After sending her off and turning around, Aunt Xu saw Gu Qiangwei walking down the staircase. She smiled lightly and walked towards her. "Miss."

Gu Qiangwei withdrew her gaze. She looked at Aunt Xu, and her glance eventually landed towards the kitchen's direction. "Aunt Xu, I'm hungry. Isn't dinner ready?"

This sentence made Aunt Xu's heart hurt.

Her expression became downcast. "Miss, dinner's over."

Upon hearing that, Gu Qiangwei paused and turned her head back in confusion. She looked at Aunt Xu and thought that she was hallucinating.

"It's over?"
