Chapter 236: You Can’t Compare to Gu Dai
Translator: _Min_
Jiang Yue, panicked, exclaimed, “Brother Song Ling, you were never like this before. Why are you so cold towards me now?”
Song Ling switched his phone to speaker and carelessly tossed it onto the car seat, stating indifferently, “1 hate being lied to the most, and you deceived me!”
Pausing, he continued, his voice laden with warning, “Jiang Yue, if it weren’t for the fact that you saved me back then, I would have driven you out of the capital long ago.”
Jiang Yue was taken aback, not expecting the situation to be so serious.
She retorted, “Gu Dai also lied to you, hiding her identity as the Gu Group heiress and getting close to you. She didn’t reveal her true identity for three years, which clearly had ulterior motives. Why don’t you hate her?”
Song Ling snapped, “Shut up!”
Jiang Yue, overwhelmed by her emotions, failed to detect the coldness in Song Ling’s voice and continued, “And though I made mistakes, 1 have sincerely repented. But what about Gu Dai? She is surrounded by several men now. Isn’t that even more despicable?”
After Gu Dai and Song Ling’s divorce, Jiang Yue felt Gu Dai had changed drastically. A crude girl from the countryside suddenly exuded a powerful aura, as if she was a completely different person.
Following her humiliating expulsion from a store, Jiang Yue’s perception of Gu Dai intensified, leading her to investigate her background.
Upon discovering that Gu Dai was actually the heiress of the Gu family, Jiang Yue was stunned and fearful, considering her past actions. But her jealousy overshadowed everything else.
Why was Gu Dai born into such a privileged family? Why did she have so much wealth, while she could only reach such heights by marrying Song Ling?
Filled with discontent, Jiang Yue couldn’t resist slandering Gu Dai again, “Gu Dai already has so many men around her, and who knows how many more there are in secret. It’s probably worse than what I did.”
Song Ling’s voice turned icy with rage, “You and Gu Dai are completely different. How dare you compare yourself to her?”
Jiang Yue defiantly asked, “How are we different?”
Song Ling retorted, “In every way!”
Jiang Yue sought other men behind his back, pretending to be innocent. But Gu Dai is different. She lost her memory, forgetting her past identity. Her feelings for him these past three years were sincere.
He was disgusted by Jiang Yue’s attempt to equate her actions with Gu Dai’s, finding it laughable.
Song Ling warned her sternly, “If I hear you slander Gu Dai again, don’t blame me for taking actions!”
Stunned by the rebuke, Jiang Yue slowly gathered her thoughts. She realized that offending Song Ling would ruin her last remaining chances of marrying into the Song family.
Adjusting her tone, Jiang Yue spoke softly, “Brother Song Ling, I wasn’t thinking straight when I said those things. I know 1 was wrong and I apologize.”
As Song Ling had put the phone on speaker, Zhao Xuan could hear Jiang Yue’s words. He was astonished by her sudden change in demeanor.
Has Jiang Yue mastered the art of changing faces? How else could her emotions shift so swiftly?
Even as Jiang Yue’s demeanor altered rapidly, Zhao Xuan couldn’t help but see her as disingenuous. After all, he had witnessed her brazen side.
He had seen it, but Song Ling, the person directly involved, had not.
Inwardly, Zhao Xuan fervently hoped that Song Ling would stand firm, not be swayed by Jiang Yue. Yet, in the very next moment, he heard his own president beginning to speak.
Song Ling said, “Continue.”
With this sentence, Zhao Xuan’s mind was flooded with the thought Its over.
In the end, it seemed they couldn’t withstand the ‘beauty trap’.
Zhao Xuan mentally braced himself, realizing Song Ling was still susceptible to Jiang Yue’s manipulation.
Feeling relieved, Jiang Yue softened her voice further, “Brother Song Ling, my agitation stemmed from loving you too much. I’ll do anything just to stay by your side.”
Having sought advice from her aunt during her days of being ignored by Song Ling, Jiang Yue was now following her aunt’s strategy: to lower her stance and evoke pity and affection.
She couldn’t help but fantasize about Song Ling falling in love with her again and marrying her into the Song family.
But Song Ling’s cold response shattered her daydreams.
Song Ling stated, “Keeping you in the logistics department is already letting you stay by my side. My only request is for you not to disturb me..”
