Gu Shengyin and Cen Yuye exchanged business cards, said a quick apology, and then hurriedly left.
When she got home, as expected, both her parents were waiting for her on the sofa.
Mrs. Xie had retired early from a senior management position at the company a few years ago due to health issues, but Father Xie was still working in the company.
Seeing Gu Shengyin, he was a bit curious: "Today... you got off work quite early, so why are you back so late?"
Gu Shengyin put down her bag, changed into slippers, sat on the sofa, and took a sip of the juice Mrs. Xie handed her.
She said, "I ran into a couple of people after work and chatted for a bit."
Father Xie didn't ask any more questions.
He had only asked casually out of concern. His daughter was already an adult, entitled to her own personal space.
