7 Long Tengfei (2/2)
This mother and daughter always succeeded in giving him a headache.
”President, the Young Miss didn't mention that she wants any of these. It was only the Madam who asked, presumably on behalf of the Young Miss.” Cai Guang hesitated. ”If I may be so bold…”
”Go on. Speak.”
”…I have spoken with the Young Miss both personally and on the phone a number of times since she woke up. I think the Young Miss has…changed.”
”That's normal. Most people change one way or another after being traumatized.”
Cai Guang nodded, although he still looked unconvinced. ”It's just that I feel like I'm speaking to a completely different person. The President has not met with her yet since she woke up, so you may not know. She's now so calm, so serious, so mature. She's very business-like whenever she speaks to me. To be honest, it's scaring me a little.”
Long Tengfei leaned back on his seat and chuckled softly. ”What's there to be scared about? Isn't that good? Maybe she had an epiphany after what she experienced. I'll feel more at ease if she has really matured and grew sensible. I just hope that this isn't something temporary and she ends up reverting to being another version of her mother. I don't really have high expectations for this daughter. The family wants to disown her, but how could I allow that? She might be a big disappointment, but she's still my daughter. She has the blood of the Longs flowing in her veins. Saying all of these, there's only so much I can do for her.” He sighed. ”She's not my only child. I have to prioritize the whole family's interests before anything or anyone else. This is my duty as the head of the family.”
”Understood.” Cai Guang hesitated, before finally gathering the courage to ask, ”Is the President planning to see the Young Miss?”
A minute or so passed before Long Tengfei answered with a cold voice. ”No. If she really wants to see me, she can come anytime. Is that all?”
Cai Guang nodded and bowed.
Long Tengfei resumed signing documents.
Both were quiet, focused on their work.
