Chapter 428: Understand Gu Dai’s situation
Translator: _Min_ |
Sheng Xin settled herself in the chair beside Song Ling’s bed, her concern evident in her voice as she asked, “Song Ling, how is your health? I heard you injured your heart, which is quite dangerous. Should I use my connections to find some professional doctors to take a look at you?”
Song Ling’s face remained expressionless. “No need. The surgery was performed by the Legendary Doctor. I am recovering rapidly and am almost healed.”
Sheng Xin, feeling disgraced, wore a displeased expression.
Wang Lan, irritated by Song Ling’s blunt honesty, although true, wondered how one could speak so to a young lady.
Hastily interjecting, she added, “Xinxin, Song Ling is grateful to you in his heart, it’s just his shy nature prevents him from expressing it.”
Not giving Song Ling a chance to retort, Wang Lan swiftly turned to another topic. “I remember you were recently exploring fashion shows. Coincidentally, Xinxin is also knowledgeable in this area. Perhaps you could discuss clothing and such.”
Sheng Xin, slightly raising an eyebrow in surprise, smiled and said, “Is President Song looking to venture into this industry? I often attend shows and have my own insights, which could perhaps provide new ideas for your venture.”
Song Ling replied indifferently, “It was just casual browsing. I’m not interested in fashion at the moment.”
Sheng Xin’s smile froze; she was unaccustomed to such rejection from a man, and a wave of anger began to simmer within her.
Wang Lan took a deep breath, comforting Sheng Xin, “Xinxin, it’s just his personality. Don’t take it to heart.”
Sheng Xin, suppressing her irritation, forced a smile, “Auntie, it’s okay. Song Ling is probably just feeling unwell, that’s why he’s behaving like this.”
Wang Lan nodded, “Yes, Yes”.
Wan Lan’s heart grew fonder of Sheng Xin. This girl, from a good family and well-mannered, was an ideal choice for a daughter-in-law.
Most importantly, she genuinely liked Song Ling and would surely take good care of him after marriage.
But Song Ling seemed blind to the treasure before him, not appreciating such a wonderful girl.
Changing the topic, Sheng Xin asked, “This hospital has a nice environment. By the way, has Miss Gu Dai visited you?”
Song Ling’s face darkened, his eyes growing cold. Gu Dai, far from visiting, had not even wanted to speak to him.
His calls were consistently hung up, and eventually, she had blocked his number.
Wang Lan rolled her eyes in annoyance, “Gu Dai didn’t even wait outside the operating room when Song Ling was undergoing surgery, she just left.”
Sheng Xin, covering her mouth in shock, exclaimed, “Is Gu Dai really that heartless? Regardless of their relationship, the lack of even a bit of concern is unbelievable.”
Wang Lan retorted, “Gu Dai has no conscience. Let’s not talk about such an unlucky subject…”
Song Ling, already seething, interrupted sharply, “Shut up!”
He recalled Gu Dai’s words about not wanting to live in an unblessed marriage. Seeing Wang Lan’s attitude, he finally understood.
Turning to Wang Lan, he said coldly, “From now on, I don’t want to hear you speak ill of Gu Dai. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Wang Lan was startled by Song Ling’s outburst and then shrilly responded, “Are you threatening your own mother for a woman? What spell has she cast on you to make you side with her like this?”
Sheng Xin added, “Yes, Song Ling, how can you treat your own mother like this? And mother is right, Gu Dai is indeed at fault. Even though you’re divorced, she shouldn’t be so indifferent towards you.”
Sheng Xin continued, “Song Ling, you’re such an outstanding person; you don’t need to be fixated on someone like her. You should look further and consider other women.”
She left her words unspoken, but it was clear she meant for Song Ling to consider her.
Wang Lan agreed, “Exactly, you’re the only heir of the Song family. You should choose a loving and excellent woman, not waste your efforts on someone heartless.”
Wang Lan and Sheng Xin took turns trying to persuade him, but Song Ling only grew more irritated.
In that moment, Song Ling finally understood why Gu Dai was so averse to his family. If Wang Lan could be so sharp and bitter in front of him, the words she must have spoken to Gu Dai, not to mention the physical and mental torment, were likely even more harsh.
Song Ling’s gaze towards the two women grew colder, “My relationship with
Gu Dai is none of your concern, nor is it your place to comment..”
