Jiang Yue watched Song Ling leave with a darkened expression. She pulled out her phone and dialed her aunt, Jiang Lin.
“Only you can help me now, Auntie,” Jiang Yue began. “Since I saved Brother Song Ling, he’s been nicer to me, but it’s only out of gratitude for saving his life.”
As she spoke, a coldness crept into her voice.
She had gone through so much to make Song Ling like her again, only to receive gratitude in return.
She couldn’t accept this.
Jiang Lin casually replied, “Gratitude is a good start. Keep trying, and you’ll surely make Song Ling fall for you.”
Jiang Yue’s frustration grew as she listened to her aunt’s indifferent words. “But Brother Song Ling doesn’t like me. Every time I try to get close, he rejects me. And he’s obviously more concerned about Gu Dai, even neglecting me for her.”
Jiang Lin, realizing the severity of the situation, replied after a few moments of thought, “The best way to bind a man is to bear his child. Rest and recover now; Wait for my instructions later.”
Jiang Yue eagerly agreed and promised, “Auntie, I’ll always remember your kindness and treat you well in return.”
The thought of what she was about to do brought a blush to Jiang Yue’s face, her heart racing with anticipation.
After Fu Nan fell asleep, Gu Dai left the hospital ward, planning to head home. To her surprise, she encountered Song Ling smoking at the hospital entrance.
Song Ling’s features were obscured by the smoke, his gaze fixed on Gu Dai.
He strode towards her, blocking her path.
“Move aside,” Gu Dai said emotionlessly.
Song Ling demanded coldly, “Are you with that kid now?”
Gu Dai found Song Ling’s question odd, not understanding his point.
“It’s my freedom to be with anyone, and it’s none of your business. You have no right to ask, as we are merely business partners,” she replied.
Song Ling’s face turned ashen. He took a deep breath and said coldly, “I need to remind you to expedite the Suzhou embroidery project. I’m also waiting to see the final result.”
Gu Dai remained composed. “I’ll handle it tomorrow. Can you step aside now?”
Watching Gu Dai’s departing car, Song Ling’s eyes were dark and unreadable.
Back home, Gu Dai found everyone engaged in lively conversation.
Gu Yin ran to Gu Dai and embraced her, exclaiming, “Cousin, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.”
Gu Dai smiled and ruffled Gu Yin’s hair.
Su Ting took Gu Dai’s bag and set it aside, softly suggesting, “Sis, go freshen up. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Okay.”
After dinner, Gu Dai spoke to Grandma Xu Huan softly, “Grandma, are you adjusting well here? If not, I can arrange for someone to make some changes.”
Xu Huan smiled, “I’m fine, just feeling a bit unfamiliar with the many changes in the city. It’s quite intriguing, though.”
Xu Huan then asked, “How come Gu Yin is staying at your place?”
Gu Dai sighed and shared Gu Yin’s experiences over the years with Xu Huan.
Xu Huan, angered, slammed her hand on the table, then lowered her voice, “Gu Si is just ridiculous. She claimed to take good care of Yinyin, but look at how she did it!”
Thinking of Gu Yin, Xu Huan shook her head affectionately, “Such a sweet and adorable child. I don’t understand how they could treat her so badly.”
Then she turned to Gu Dai, “Daidai, thankfully you’re here. Otherwise, Gu Yin’s life could have been ruined.”
Remembering Gu Yin’s words before bed, Gu Dai smiled at Xu Huan, “Yinyin said she likes you a lot. You give her a warm and familiar feeling.”
“Really?” Xu Huan asked.
Gu Dai nodded, “Yes, she’s shy and didn’t dare tell you directly. She even blushed while telling me.”
Thinking of Gu Yin’s blushing face, Gu Dai couldn’t help but chuckle..
