Chu Min opened the car door for Gu Dai and took her bag, then swiftly returned to the driver’s seat and sped away.
Gu Dai massaged her temples and asked Chu Min, “Have you finished handling your issues?”
Chu Min nodded. “Those issues were a breeze for me. When I arrived, I immediately spotted the problem and resolved it quickly.”
Remembering the figure he saw at the restaurant entrance, Chu Min hesitated for a few seconds before asking in a low voice, “Boss, was that Song Ling just now?”
Gu Dai hummed in confirmation.
Chu Min, with a downcast gaze, voiced his confusion, “Boss, Song Ling’s behavior seems like he’s pursuing you. Does he like you?”
Gu Dai firmly denied it. “No. When I had amnesia, I was especially nice to him, but he not only disliked me, he also hated me. Now that I’ve regained my memory, I’ve always been cold to him. Unless Song Ling masochistically enjoys that, he wouldn’t like me.”
Chu Min pondered whether Song Ling indeed had such tendencies.
Gu Dai’s stomach growled, interrupting Chu Min’s thoughts.
Without a second thought, Chu Min knew Song Ling must have disrupted Gu Dai’s meal.
He quickly offered, “Boss, what do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “No need to buy anything. I’ll eat at the hotel restaurant.”
“Okay,” Chu Min agreed.
Before getting out of the car, Gu Dai suddenly remembered something. Turning to Chu Min, she said, “I’m going to Yinyin’s school tomorrow to handle her transfer. You go to the hospital to take care of her. If anything happens, contact me.”
Chu Min smiled in admiration. “Boss, you really care about that little girl.”
Gu Dai smiled slightly, “Having decided to adopt Gu Yin, I’ll naturally take responsibility and care for her wholeheartedly.”
Chu Min nodded vigorously, feeling that Gu Dai, saying these words, seemed to be glowing with coolness and beauty.
As soon as Gu Dai stepped out of the car, she saw a young boy running past her at high speed. But after only a few steps, he tripped over a stone and fell hard to the ground.
The boy propped himself up from the ground, but instantly winced and fell again.
Gu Dai approached with a frown and politely asked, “Are you alright?”
The boy shook his head weakly, “I-I’m alright. Could you please help me up?”
Gu Dai helped the boy to his feet.
After thanking Gu Dai, the boy limped away.
Suddenly, a rough male voice shouted, “You brat, where did you run off to? We won’t let you off once we catch you!”
The boy stiffened and lightly tugged Gu Dai’s sleeve, looking up at her with pleading eyes, “Please, help me.”
Gu Dai, needing to handle Gu Yin’s school transfer and not wanting to get involved in trouble, was about to refuse.
But upon seeing the boy’s face, she paused. Before she knew it, she had already helped him into the car.
“Thank you,” the boy said with a smile.
Gu Dai’s actions were swift, but the men chasing him managed to witness the scene. The leader called his followers to catch up.
Gu Dai glanced at them and quickly drove off, leaving them behind.
Turning to the boy in the back, Gu Dai asked, “Why are those people chasing you?”
The boy’s face paled. He bit his lip and after a few seconds, whispered, “I’m an unknown actor. I had a dispute with my agency and wanted to terminate the contract, but not only did I fail, I also ended up owing a lot of money…”
Gu Dai understood the situation.
The entertainment industry can be chaotic, especially for those without strong backing. They often fall victim to predatory contracts from agencies.
Gu Dai parked in a safe area with many people around.
Turning to face the boy, she examined his face closely. Now looking more carefully, she saw a striking resemblance…
As Gu Dai observed the boy, his gaze also fell on her face. Seeing her delicate features, he blushed slightly, shifting his gaze away, but couldn’t help wanting to look back again.
“Why are you staring at me?” the boy asked.
Gu Dai snapped back to reality, withdrew her gaze, and said, “You have a good-looking face. I have something to handle now. If you trust me, wait here for me, and we’ll talk when I return..”
