Wang Lan, returning home in a fury, slumped onto the sofa.
Song Yu, impatiently, asked, “Mom, why did you call me back all of a sudden?”
She was having a great time with her friends at a bar, and being summoned home by Wang Lan had soured her mood, which only worsened upon seeing Wang Lan’s state.
Wang Lan fumed, “I’m livid! Today has been utterly infuriating! I went out with Sheng Xin for your brother’s marriage, hoping to deepen their relationship, but we ended up running into that bit*h Gu Dai!”
Song Yu paused her nail inspection, “Gu Dai?”
After pouring a glass of water for Wang Lan, she handed it to her.
Wang Lan took a sip, trying to calm her rage, and continued, “Yes, Gu Dai ruined everything. Because of her, my image in front of Meng Chuan is tarnished.”
Song Yu jumped up from the sofa, incredulously asking, “Meng Chuan? The movie star Meng Chuan? Mom, did you get his autograph? You must have, right? Show me!”
Wang Lan’s expression darkened further, coldly replying, “No.”
Disappointed but quickly recovering, Song Yu joked, “No worries. After all, Meng Chuan is an international star. It’s normal for his autograph to be hard to get.”
Meng Chuan’s influence over the years had been significant. His superb acting skills and handsome looks made him popular across all age groups, including Song Yu.
Wang Lan spoke gloomily, “You won’t be able to get Meng Chuan’s autograph either.”
Confused, Song Yu asked, “Why?”
Wang Lan, panting heavily and gritting her teeth, answered, “Because Meng Chuan knows Gu Dai and even protects her. We’ve offended Gu Dai, so how could Meng Chuan possibly give us his autograph?”
Frowning deeply, Song Yu complained, “I haven’t even met Meng Chuan. How come that trash Gu Dai got to know him so well?”
Wang Lan slammed her hand on the table in anger, “Gu Dai must have used some witchcraft. She’s not only bewitched Meng Chuan but your brother as well!”
Song Yu exclaimed, “What? Didn’t my brother stand up for you and teach Gu Dai a lesson?”
Wang Lan, with a dark expression, coldly replied, “No. Song Ling not only didn’t speak up for me but also defended Gu Dai and took her side.”
Angered and coughing, Wang Lan struggled to contain her fury. Song Yu, too, couldn’t swallow her pride.
She had bullied Gu Dai for three years, and now she was being trampled by her. It was an unbearable humiliation.
She couldn’t let this go; she absolutely couldn’t let Gu Dai off the hook.
Song Yu’s eyes flashed with malice, “We must find a way to deal with Gu Dai.”
Wang Lan nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”
Wang Lan vented, “Why should Gu Dai, a divorced and used woman, attract so many excellent men who are blindly devoted to her?”
Used woman…
Song Yu’s eyes brightened, and she excitedly said, “I’ve got an idea.”
Impatiently, Wang Lan urged, “Tell me!”
Song Yu, with a sly smile, explained, “I often follow online discussions. Many netizens like Gu Dai for her decisive actions and bold demeanor.”
Wang Lan, still confused, asked, “So what?”
Song Yu continued, “If we make the netizens believe that Gu Dai is not as they imagine, but someone who spent three years as a housewife, doing laundry and cooking, they’ll definitely dislike her and slander her online!”
Wang Lan’s eyes lit up, excitedly exclaiming, “You’re brilliant, no wonder you’re my daughter!”
Wang Lan and Song Yu could already imagine the online backlash against Gu Dai, as netizens couldn’t reconcile her contrasting personality.
Song Yu grabbed Wang Lan, excitedly saying, “Mom, let’s pull out the surveillance footage from the past three years at home.”
Wang Lan eagerly agreed, “Yes! And we need to hire some internet trolls to guide public opinion.”
The two shared a satisfied smile.
At the Song Corporation.
Song Ling scanned the sofa where Zhou Ci sat, coldly asking, “Why are you here?”
Unfazed by Song Ling’s coldness, Zhou Ci snacked and asked cheerfully, “Who upset you this time?”
Song Ling snorted.
Zhou Ci didn’t wait for a reply, guessing, “Let me guess. You went to see Gu Dai again, but she didn’t give you a warm welcome, right?”
Song Ling’s chill intensified.
Zhou Ci, not minding Song Ling’s silence, leaned in closer, “Are you investigating the Legendary Doctor?”
