Chapter 234: Second Brother is Back
Translator: _Min_
As soon as Gu Dai dashed downstairs, she saw a red car parked by the roadside.
Meng Zhi got off the car and approached Gu Dai.
Gu Dai greeted him with a smiling face, “Third Brother, what brings you here?”
Meng Zhi spoke mysteriously, “Daidai, 1 have something to tell you.”
Curious, Gu Dai asked, “What is it?”
Seeing her eagerness, Meng Zhi didn’t keep her in suspense and revealed directly, “Second Brother has returned.”
Gu Dai’s eyes widened in surprise, hardly believing, “You mean Second Brother is back!”
Meng Zhi nodded affirmatively, “Yes!”
Gu Dai couldn’t help but burst into laughter, quickly suggesting, “What time does Second Brother’s plane arrive? Let’s get ready to pick him up!”
As Gu Dai spoke, eager to drive to the airport, Meng Zhi held her back.
Puzzled, Gu Dai inquired, “What’s the matter, Third Brother?”
Meng Zhi coughed lightly, feeling a bit guilty, and showed his phone to Gu Dai.
Although Gu Dai didn’t understand the implication, she still looked at the phone.
After reading the content, she turned to Meng Zhi, annoyed, “Third Brother, why didn’t you tell me Second Brother’s flight was yesterday? He has already returned to the country, and 1 didn’t go to pick him up!”
Meng Zhi felt wronged internally, “Second Brother instructed me not to tell you. He said you’ve been working too hard and asked me not to bother you with these trivial matters.”
Gu Dai, feeling helpless, remarked, “How can picking up Second Brother be a trivial matter?”
For Gu Dai, Meng Chuan’s return was a significant event, another loved one returning to her side.
Meng Zhi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her, and promised, “Don’t worry, Daidai. If such a thing happens again, even at the risk of being beaten by Second Brother, I’ll tell you.”
Gu Dai’s anger dissipated, and she said, “Well, let it be. If he chose to hide the fact from me, then let him hide it from me.”
Meng Zhi grinned, “1 knew Daidai, with your kind heart and beautiful soul, couldn’t bear to see me get beaten!”
Gu Dai then asked, “Let’s go meet Second Brother. Where is he now?”
Meng Zhi replied, “Second Brother is already waiting for us at the restaurant.”
Gu Dai then said, “Then let’s go quickly.”
However, just as Gu Dai finished speaking, Meng Zhi’s phone rang.
After he answered the call, his smile slowly faded as he listened.
Seeing this, Gu Dai asked, puzzled, “What happened, Third Brother? Is there a problem?”
Meng Zhi pursed his lips and after a while, spoke, “Daidai, there’s a problem at the racing club. 1 need to go handle it.”
As the owner of the racing club, Meng Zhi often dealt with various issues. Gu Dai was accustomed to this and didn’t think much of it.
Gu Dai added, “After you finish with the matters at the club, come to dinner early.”
Meng Zhi nodded, “Okay.”
Watching Gu Dai’s car drive away, Meng Zhi’s eyes, cast down, flickered with a dark shade and filled with sympathy.
Gu Dai might have forgotten that incident, but he hadn’t. Now that his Second Brother was back, they would help Daidai resolve it.
The thought of Meng Chuan’s return filled Gu Dai with joy.
Even when stuck in traffic, her mood remained unaffected. She noticed a secluded shortcut on the navigation.
Although a bit longer, it would surely be faster than the traffic jam.
Deciding to take the shortcut, Gu Dai changed direction.
A black car, noticing Gu Dai’s change of course, followed suit, speeding up behind her.
Gu Dai sensed something amiss. Her eyes lowered and she gradually stopped her car.
The black car also halted, its doors opening, revealing several burly men in black clothes with scarred faces.
Recognizing the scars, Gu Dai knew trouble had found her again, brought by some reckless person.
Feeling irked, Gu Dai thought, Why today of all days?
She sent a message to Meng Chuan, informing him of the delay due to an issue, then raised her eyes to face the men.
The leader, a blond-haired man, smirked lecherously upon seeing Gu Dai, tauntingly saying, “Pretty girl, you’re quite a looker. If you kiss me now, maybe I’ll go easy on you later when I hit you..”
