Chapter 170: We’re Divorced
Translator: _Min_
Jiang Yue’s eyes flickered with delight, silently marveling at how foolish Gu Dai was to fall into her trap without any prompting.
Now, lets see how Song Ling will chastise you!
Maintaining her pitiable facade, Jiang Yue lowered her head and let tears trickle down. Her knees began to bend, almost touching the ground in a kneeling position before Gu Dai.
Song Ling interrupted, “Gu Dai, you’re becoming increasingly audacious!”
Striding over to Jiang Yue, he lifted her up and shot Gu Dai an icy stare.
Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Song Ling, everyone else in the store lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Unfazed, Gu Dai casually remarked, “You’ve been standing at the door for quite some time, haven’t you? It’s about time you stepped in.”
Shock flashed across Song Ling’s eyes as he asked incredulously, “You knew 1 was there?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Of course.”
After all, Jiang Yue had suffered a significant loss at her hands. It was only natural for Song Ling to come and back her up upon learning about it.
Sensing something amiss from Song Ling’s reaction, Jiang Yue quickly tugged at his clothes and whispered, “Gu Dai was facing away from you. She must have made up that line after she saw you.”
Remembering his angle of view when he entered, Song Ling nodded, buying into Jiang Yue’s explanation. He then glared at Gu Dai and scoffed, “The Gu Dai I thought I knew wouldn’t lie.”
Gu Dai asked, “Did Mr. Song ever truly understand me?”
Her words pierced through Song Ling like thorns, reminding him how little he knew about her—a fact that frustrated him immensely.
Earlier in the day, he had sought Gu Dai, only to be ignored. This left him discontent, prompting him to have Zhao Xuan keep tabs on her.
Learning that her ‘urgent matter’ involved meeting Su Ting and even dining and shopping for men’s clothing together infuriated him.
Seeing Gu Dai and Su Ting standing together when he pushed the door open had almost driven him mad with rage.
Noticing Song Ling’s dark expression, Jiang Yue guessed he must have been infuriated by Gu Dai. She promptly started crying and exclaimed, “Brother Song Ling, earlier, Sister Gu Dai and I both liked the same tie. She wanted to buy it for Su Ting, but I thought it would suit you better. So I took it, and she demanded that 1 kneel in apology!”
As Jiang Yue’s words hung in the air, not only was Gu Dai rendered speechless, but the bystanders who had witnessed the entire episode were also at a loss for words. Murmurs and whispers erupted among them.
The onlookers unanimously thought that Jiang Yue might have escaped from a mental institution. After all, how could a sane person exhibit such drastic emotional changes in such a short span of time?
Song Ling’s face turned more gloomy, his eyes locking onto Gu Dai with spite.
Su Ting stepped forward, positioning himself between Song Ling and Gu Dai, clearly intent on defending her.
This only infuriated Song Ling more. He demanded, “Gu Dai, you gave me a tie as a gift for our third anniversary. What does it mean that you’re giving him a tie now?”
Jiang Yue was dumbfounded. After her lengthy explanation, Song Ling only picked up on the tie. Not only did he not stand up for her, but he also showed no concern whatsoever!
Gu Dai was also surprised by Song Ling’s question but remained composed. She asked, “If I’m not mistaken, we’re divorced, aren’t we? On what grounds are you questioning me now?”
Song Ling was momentarily at a loss for words, but he still managed to force out the question, “Tell me, why are you giving Su Ting a tie? Were you cheating on me with him during our marriage? Did you make a joke of me?”
Su Ting looked at Song Ling disdainfully and retorted, “You really don’t understand Sis at all!”
Frustrated by Su Ting’s words, Song Ling exhaled out and then asked, “What do you mean by that? Are you claiming to understand her?”
Su Ting glanced at Gu Dai and chuckled softly, “I can’t claim to understand Sis one hundred percent, but I do know that she has a strong sense of morality. She would never cheat..”
