"Dad, Uncle He,"
Kerr greeted the older men in a casual manner, neither domineering nor servile. Like a blank canvas, his face held no expression.
Striding in with power, a confident voice flowed to the room. "Now that Kerr and Sunny have arrived, we can finally have dinner together."
Freya Qin wore a dark purple dress, which made her look exceptionally elegant and gorgeous. Although she was not young, she looked well preserved, noble and beautiful.
She married into the Gu family many years ago. Even though not everything went well in her marriage, she had a son as excellent as Kerr, which helped her gain a foothold in the family.
"Mom."
Kerr turned around and walked into the dining room.
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie!"
It was not until then that Sunny made her presence known. She looked at Jack and Freya Qin with a charming expression on her face.
"Have you been busy since you came back from abroad? Sunny, dear, you didn't even come to see me."
With admiration in her eyes, Freya Qin walked up to Sunny and took her hands intimately.
"Well, even I have only seen her a few times since she came back. I have no idea what she is up to all the time."
Standing by Jack's side, Daniel pretended to blame his daughter, but in fact, he was looking towards Kerr expectantly.
He had always hoped that Sunny could marry into the Gu family. Although the He family was not as powerful as the Gu family, in the whole A City, apart from the He family, no one could be more matched with Kerr than Sunny.
"Dad, I'm sorry for not coming to see you more. I didn't mean to, it's just that I want to be able to do anything to help Kerr. I'm working as his assistant now and I was hoping I could do him a favor."
With shyness, Sunny stole a glance at Kerr.
"Really? That's fantastic news! I was hoping that you could spend more time with Kerr. Now that you are working together, it will be more convenient for you two."
In fact, Freya Qin had already known that Sunny had gotten a job in the Gu Group. She already thought of Sunny as her daughter-in-law, so she was ecstatic to hear the news and thought that it was good for Sunny to be around Kerr as early and as much as possible.
She never cared about her son's private life, but she still worried that he would end up getting involved in the wrong crowd and become obsessed with messy women. Now with Sunny by his side, her mind was put to rest.
"Dad, I have something important to discuss with you."
Kerr was increasingly vigilant, noticing that everyone in the room was focusing on his impending marriage with Sunny. Although none of them expressed it openly, this marriage had been planned for a very long time.
He couldn't let things go on like this.
Hearing Kerr's tone, Jack raised his head and looked at him earnestly. He already had an idea as to what his son wanted to discuss, but he wouldn't allow it.
"Let's eat first."
Over the years, he had seldom looked into Kerr's private life, but every action of Kerr in the Gu Group was under his watch.
Although he regarded Kerr as his only heir, the Gu Group had strong roots, so he had to be prepared, just in case.
"Yes, everyone take your seat and we'll be served shortly."
Sensing the seriousness in Kerr's voice, Freya invited everyone to take a place at the table.
Seeing the expression on Kerr's face, Daniel gestured to Sunny silently with his eyes. The He family's daughter just shook her head slightly.
