Realizing this, Meng Zhi quickly said, “When 1 date, I make it clear upfront that 1 have no plans to marry. That way, when it’s time to part ways, we can do so amicably without any entanglements.”
Taken aback, Gu Dai asked, “Are you sure you’ll never get married?”
Meng Zhi nodded affirmatively, “Absolutely!”
Studying him, Gu Dai spoke earnestly, “For some reason, 1 have a feeling that you’ll end up getting married someday, and you’ll be the one pursuing it.”
Meng Zhi was quite shocked by this and retorted, “Daidai, your intuition must be off. Not to mention that I’m committed to not marrying, but with my personality, how could I possibly chase someone to marry me?”
After Meng Zhi said this, he suddenly realized that the topic had veered off course. He then turned to Gu Dai and said earnestly, “Daidai, don’t get upset because of Song Ling and Jiang Yue. I’ll find a way to teach them a lesson. And Song Ling, a man with a two-meter-tall green hat on his head and not a shred of intelligence, is not worth your anger.”
Meng Zhi used to think that Song Ling was a talented person. Now he just felt like he had been blind to not see how not only unintelligent but also utterly foolish Song Ling was.
With a resigned smile, Gu Dai said seriously, “Third Brother, I’m really not angry. Besides, 1 think these photos were probably taken by someone Jiang Yue arranged to spy on them.”
Meng Zhi froze, looking puzzled. “Jiang Yue arranged for these photos?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Because I noticed that the angles in these pictures don’t show the expressions on their faces, so the reality might not be what it appears.”
As her words settled, Meng Zhi examined the pictures once again and found that they were indeed as Gu Dai had described.
Realizing this, Meng Zhi sighed, “So, Song Ling may not be as foolish as 1 thought, huh?”
Gu Dai yawned and said, “Well, that’s not necessarily the case, given that they still met.”
Meng Zhi nodded in agreement, “True.”
After breakfast, Gu Dai prepared to go to the office.
Meng Zhi quickly offered, “Daidai, let me take you.”
Looking at the dark circles under Meng Zhi’s eyes, Gu Dai said, “Third Brother, you should rest. Driving while fatigued is very dangerous.”
Meng Zhi was about to say he wasn’t tired, but then he let out a big yawn. He conceded, “Alright, I’ll go upstairs and rest. Be careful on your way.”
Though Meng Zhi was worried, he had to give up on the idea of driving Gu Dai to the office, considering he hadn’t slept all night due to his frustration over the news about Song Ling and Jiang Yue.
Gu Dai nodded earnestly to Meng Zhi’s caution and left the villa. However, she didn’t expect to run into her Elder Uncle Gu Ming and his family on her way out.
Upon seeing Gu Dai emerge from the large villa, their initially cheerful expressions vanished, and they stared at her.
Especially Gu Ming, who had been regretting his earlier thoughts of getting someone to teach Gu Dai a lesson. He felt something was off, suspecting that Gu Dai had been pulling strings behind his back, leading to his current plight.
Yet, upon seeing the three, Gu Dai smiled warmly, “Elder Uncle, how’s your health? Also, why didn’t you tell me about your discharge from the hospital? I could have picked you up!”
Though Gu Ming and Liu Min were irked by Gu Dai, they managed to maintain a facade. “You’ve been so busy managing the company; we didn’t want to disturb you, so we didn’t inform you.”
Gu Dai nodded, “I see. But Elder Uncle, Elder Auntie, you don’t have to worry. Even though the company is busy, I’ve caught on pretty quickly. I’m quite proficient at managing it now. Feel free to tell me if there’s anything you need.”
Compared to Gu Ming and Liu Min, Gu Zhi appeared more naive. Upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, she blurted out, “Ha, those are just sweet words. I wonder who you’re trying to fool!”
Unfazed, Gu Dai’s eyes settled on Gu Zhi, her smile intact. She said, “The necklace you’re wearing around your neck looks so familiar. It seems like a style I wore three years ago. You know, it’s funny, I recently noticed that a lot of my old clothes, jewelry, shoes, and bags have gone missing..”
