Chapter 209: That’s not for you to decide
Translator: _Min_
After Meng Zhi had fully understood the situation and saw that it had no impact on Gu Dai, his tense emotions finally relaxed completely.
Meng Zhi said, “Daidai, you can’t go easy on Wei Ling anymore. I’ll arrange for her to be blacklisted right now!”
Gu Dai stopped him. Under his puzzled gaze, she spoke, “I’ve already blacklisted her.”
Meng Zhi then added, “Then 1’11 go ahead and acquire Zhou Gang’s company!”
Just as Meng Zhi was about to put his plan into action, his phone rang, displaying two new notifications.
“#Zhou Corporation is bankrupt, CEO Zhou Gang has declared bankruptcy.”
“#Song Group acquires Zhou Corporation.”
Meng Zhi’s face darkened, he couldn’t help but complain, “If 1 hadn’t been on the plane, cut off from the latest domestic news, I would have moved faster than Song Ling!”
Gu Dai nodded, then added regretfully, “Zhou Corporation had a promising future; it’s a pity Song Ling got to it first.”
Testing the waters, Meng Zhi said, “I feel Song Ling might have done it for you.”
Gu Dai looked at Meng Zhi in surprise, “Third Brother, why would you think that?”
Meng Zhi explained, “Well, Song Ling acquiring Zhou Corporation at this time is certainly for you. After all, the Song family has never ventured into the entertainment industry before.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “That’s impossible! 1 think he must also see the future potential of Zhou Corporation.”
Seeing this, Meng Zhi chose not to elaborate further. After all, he didn’t want to speak well of Song Ling, lest Gu Dai fall for him again.
Meng Zhi suddenly remembered Su Ting and asked softly, “Daidai, how do you feel about Su Ting?”
Su Ting? Gu Dai pondered seriously in her mind.
Su Ting had always been kind to her, cheering her up when she was down and standing up for her when she was bullied.
So, Gu Dai said, “He’s really nice, very adorable, and he’s always been supportive of me. I feel relaxed when I’m with him; he’s a great, great younger brother, and I really like him!”
Meng Zhi nodded, his eyes slightly downcast.
So Daidai ready just sees Su Ting as a younger brother?
Moreover, the types that she found herself drawn to, Song Ling and Su Ting, why were they utterly dissimilar to that person in every way?
Gu Dai said, “Third Brother, have you finished your work?”
Meng Zhi responded reflexively, “Not yet.”
Frozen for a moment and meeting Gu Dai’s serious eyes, he began to scramble for words.
Gu Dai showed a gentle smile and said, “Thank you, Third Brother.”
Meng Zhi rubbed his head awkwardly, “No, no need for thanks, we’re family after all.”
Gu Dai nodded with a smile, “So, when will you finish your work?”
Meng Zhi responded, “By tomorrow.”
Pushing Meng Zhi out the door, Gu Dai said, “Go do your work.”
Meng Zhi looked at the closed door and shook his head in resignation, “Alright.”
Meng Zhi then called one of his subordinates, instructing, “Keep a close eye on Wei Ling’s movements. If anything unusual happens, deal with it directly; no need to report to me.”
After Gu Dai sent Meng Zhi away, she headed for the basement.
Seeing Gu Dai, Gu Zhi quickly got up from the bed. Thinking of what she had done today, she stuttered, “W-what brings you here so late?”
Gu Dai scanned the cramped room before her gaze settled on Gu Zhi. She spoke calmly, “I think you know why I’m here.”
Gu Zhi quickly said, “I-I realized it was wrong as soon as 1 sent it, so I immediately deleted it!”
Gu Dai chuckled and showed her the screen of her phone, “Then what’s the meaning of hiring internet trolls to screenshot what you posted and spread it online?”
Gu Zhi couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Her mind was in turmoil, wondering how Gu Dai got her chat records with the internet trolls.
Gu Dai said, “Starting tomorrow, Uncle Wu will take you to do the most tedious jobs, like cleaning toilets in the villa.”
Gu Zhi collapsed onto the bed, shaking her head, “No, I can’t!”
Gu Dai simply stated, “That’s not for you to decide.”
Upon hearing Gu Dai’s cold refusal, Gu Zhi’s eyes flashed with malice.
The next morning, Gu Dai received news that Gu Zhi had run away..
