When Chen Guo arrived at the address, she found it somewhat unbelievable.

The entire old building seemed forgotten, worn out and out of place compared to the prosperity of the city. The garbage bin at the entrance of the residential building exuded a strong stench, and garbage and soup water had spread all over the entrance.

The corridor was filled with spider webs, visible dust floating in the air.

Just taking a few steps, she felt a wave of suffocation and couldn’t help but sneeze.

The only lucky thing for Chen Feng this time was that the room he rented was on the first floor. Although the environment was a bit worse, he didn’t mind. Being able to move things conveniently on the ground floor satisfied him.

Having lived in the Mei family’s villa for a long time, suddenly moving to such a place would certainly be uncomfortable.

But Chen Feng wasn’t ungrateful. He could adapt to any environment, but he was a bit worried that his daughter wouldn’t be comfortable.

“Guoguo!” When Chen Feng opened the door, he happened to see Chen Guo turning away, hurriedly calling her.

Chen Guo muttered something low, reluctantly forcing a smile, “Dad, 1 thought 1 was in the wrong place just now and was about to call you.”

Chen Feng smiled and waved, urging her to come in, “No, you weren’t in the wrong place. My daughter is really smart. You could find such a hard-to-find place so easily! Come in quickly, Dad has prepared delicious food for you!”

Although the things in the house were not unpacked yet, Chen Feng knew his daughter was coming today. He went out and bought many ingredients and tableware, preparing to have a special meal with his daughter.

Chen Guo, sneering, stepped over the woven bags at the door and stood in the crowded and small living room. She said, “Dad, why do you live in such a place? Why don’t you find a better house?”

Chen Feng was a bit embarrassed by her question, shrugged, and smiled, “I was just laid off. 1 don’t know when I can find the next job, and I don’t know how much salary I’ll get in the future. So, 1 thought of saving some money. The rent here is cheap, and I’ve paid half a year’s rent. I can change it later when 1 find a job.”

Chen Guo waved the dust in front of her face with disgust.

Chen Feng quickly brought a chair, with a new cushion on it that he bought today. “This is clean; I bought it today. Sit quickly. The meal will be ready soon!”

After saying that, he turned and continued happily bustling around in the kitchen.

Chen Guo looked at the greasy and dirty kitchen and frowned. “Dad, stop it. My mother asked me to go home for dinner today.”

Chen Feng paused and returned to normal in an instant. “It’s okay. Then let me cook this dish first. I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Sit down for a while. I’ll be done soon.”

Chen Guo, impatient, stood up from the chair. After doing a lot of psychological preparation, she finally walked into the kitchen, held her breath, and said, “Dad, why did Mei’s family fire you for no reason?!”

Chen Feng said casually, “Actually, it’s nothing. They just wanted to change to a chef with better culinary skills, so they said they didn’t need me for the time being. It’s quite normal in those wealthy families.”

Chen Guo unwillingly said, “Then didn’t you fight for yourself? Where did you live before? Look at your life now. They’re simply treating you unfairly!” “Guoguo!” Chen Feng spoke to her with a stern expression for the first time. “My relationship with the Mei family is purely an employment arrangement. They were kind enough to help me find you, and 1 am extremely grateful. How can I have the face to continue staying at their house? It’s because I’m not as capable as others; you can’t blame the Mei family for that.”

Chen Guo’s tone also turned cold. “Dad! But you were fired just like that. Where can you find a job as good as cooking in the Mei family?”

Chen Feng thought his daughter was worried about him. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this. Although Dad’s culinary skills aren’t top-notch, I still have some abilities. I can take care of myself and try my best to give you the best. If you can’t stand it here, next time, Dad will take you to a restaurant for dinner, alright?”

“No way!” Chen Guo directly confronted him, saying, “I don’t care. You must go to Mei’s house with me now. Explain to them that you’ve worked hard for these years. They can’t just discard you like this!”

“Guoguo! People can’t act so arbitrarily!” Chen Feng sighed and said with a serious tone, “The Mei family doesn’t owe us anything. We can’t stay at someone else’s house forever, can we?”

Chen Guo, in frustration, said, “If you don’t go with me, don’t expect to see me again!”

“Guoguo, what do you mean?” Chen Feng looked at his daughter in disbelief, whom he had cherished in his heart.

Chen Guo directly made it clear to him, “Dad, I like Mei Jing. I want to continue living at Mei’s house. If you really care about me, you should do your best to help me marry Mei Jing.”

“You child, do you know what you’re saying?” Chen Feng now fully understood.. He pointed at Chen Guo angrily, “Are you coming to see me just because of Young Master Jing?”
