Short and brisk.
After the secretary called out, he received an eye signal from Xu Fang. A chill ran down his spine, and he said hurriedly, "A lady by the name of Song Rong has been waiting for you for quite some time at the front desk downstairs."
"Who?" Gu Jiangnian asked, frowning.
"Song Rong," the secretary repeated.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiangnian felt a shock in his heart, and a sense of ill omen swept through him. Looking at the secretary, he said urgently, "Let her come up."
"Yes."
"Hold on," the secretary responded, ready to leave to handle the matter, but Gu Jiangnian's call to wait interrupted his steps.
Gu Jiangnian then turned his gaze to Xu Fang, instructing, "Go and invite the person up."
This word "invite" sobered Xu Fang up a bit.
Respectfully, he acknowledged the request and turned to leave.
Xu Fang was aware of Song Rong's well-known reputation.
No wonder Gu Dong was using the word "invite" for the mother-in-law showing up.
