Okay, I accept your apology. I forgive you.

Previously, Pang Qian rarely did any household chores. Before she entered high school, she'd lived a very pampered life (lit. ten fingers have never touched the spring water). Even her underclothes were left to Jin Ai'hua to wash. But after the change in her parents' work schedules, their formerly stable and ordered life was broken. In order to catch the bus in the mornings, Jin Ai'hua got up at the crack of dawn, and she would return home very late. Although she hadn't asked anything of Pang Qian, Pang Qian really couldn't bear sitting back and seeing her parents come home from a long day of work, to still have to take care of all the chores.

So, when Pang Qian got home, she would sweep and clean the floor, wash and cook rice, and hand wash some clothes. It wasn't something that she tried to take credit for or make known, but Jin Ai'hua still spoke with Pang Shuisheng privately, saying that Qian Qian was growing up and understood a lot more things.

Pang Qian stood at the sink to help Gu Mingxi wash his clothes. They were all undergarments, but she didn't feel there was anything particular about it. At this time, Pang Shuisheng passed by the washroom, wearing a coat. The father and daughter's eyes met. Pang Shuisheng lifted his cellphone and said quietly, "I'm going outside for a smoke, and I'm going to give Mingxi's dad a call."

"Dad!" Without a care for the soap all over her hands, Pang Qian reached out to grab a hold of his arm. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Just let Uncle Gu know that he's safe. Don't tell him about all the other stuff."

Pang Shuisheng looked at his daughter, then hesitatingly asked, "Do you know something?"

Pang Qian bit her lip, then said, "When I went over to Gu Mingxi's house today, I heard Uncle Gu and Auntie Li fighting. It was a really big fight. That's why Gu Mingxi came to our house. Dad, Uncle Gu... He seems to be having an affair. And Auntie Li was really hurt. Gu Mingxi told me not to tell you guys, but..."

As Gu Guoxiang's longtime friend and former coworker, Pang Shuisheng definitely had some ideas about Gu Guoxiang's private life. He wanted another child, and everyone knew that. But Li Han had problems conceiving. So, a lot of the workers in the factory estimated that the two of them would divorce.

Pang Shuisheng couldn't accept such an outcome, but he was, after all, an outsider in their affairs. And then his own daughter was also linked in many ways to their son's disability, so who was he to comment on it.

He only felt wronged for Gu Mingxi. He was such a good boy, and none of this was his fault, but he would be the one to bear the terrible outcome.

Pang Shuisheng's eyes gradually warmed. He pat his daughter's head and said, "You did the right thing, telling me about it. Don't worry. When I call Mingxi's dad, I'll just let him know that he's safe. As for everything else, we'll talk about it when both his parents return."

Pang Qian nodded.

Pang Shuisheng said, "Since you're on vacation now, spend some more time with Mingxi. Don't bully him anymore, okay?"

Pang Qian pouted. "When do I bully him? I'm even helping him wash his clothes."

Pang Shuisheng looked at the clothes in the sink and sighed. "You should be helping him. If not for Mingxi, how could you have gotten into such a good school?"

Pang Qian nodded obediently. Pang Shuisheng was just about leave, when he turned back around. "But you can't help Gu Mingxi with things like using the toilet again. If he needs help, just tell him to find me. You two aren't little kids anymore, so it's better to avoid such situations."
