Chapter 198: Planning To Teach Him A Lesson

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai furrowed her brow in confusion, pondering for a moment before shaking her head. Nothing really happened, she answered earnestly.

Seeing Gu Dais response, Meng Zhi felt a deep pang of sadness.

Noting his expression, Gu Dai became even more confused. Third Brother, whats wrong?

Meng Zhis frustration bubbled up. Daidai, you dont need to hide things from me. Ive heard about what happened! Song Lings sister, Song Yu, pushed a waiter into you, potentially injuring you. And despite knowing what happened, Song Ling even defended her actions!

Only then did Gu Dai realize what Meng Zhi was talking about. Third Brother, it really didnt affect me much. After all, Song Ling apologized later.

Meng Zhi replied quickly, He only apologized because you had evidence from the surveillance footage. If not for that, do you think he would have?

As Meng Zhi spoke, he suddenly realized something troubling. His gaze fixed on Gu Dai, concerned. Daidai, why are you defending Song Ling? Could it be that you

Gu Dai, sensing his suspicion, quickly interjected, 1 dont have feelings for Song Ling!

Meng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief but still looked puzzled. Then why defend him?

She smiled gently, Im not defending him. I just didnt dwell on the incident. If you hadnt brought it up, 1 might have even forgotten about it.

Reflecting on her words, Meng Zhi realized she was right.

However, just because Gu Dai was willing to overlook it didnt mean he would. Every time he thought of Song Lings actions, he wanted to go teach him a lesson.

Deciding on his next course of action, Meng Zhi looked at Gu Dai and said, Daidai, I feel a bit tired. Ill head to my room to rest.

Gu Dai nodded, Alright.

With her acknowledgment, Meng Zhi hastily retreated.

Watching Meng Zhis retreating figure, Gu Dai tilted her head in confusion. He seemed quite awake and alert, not at all like someone needing rest.

Indeed, Meng Zhi wasnt heading off to rest. As soon as he reached his room, he began planning how to deal with Song Ling.

Gu Dai tried to imagine what Meng Zhi might be up to but eventually decided not to dwell on it. After all, her third brother was a sensible adult, and it wasnt her place to keep tabs on him.

Turning to Wu Zhen nearby, she asked, Uncle Wu, has Gu Zhi returned?

Wu Zhen shook his head, replying, Ive stationed people around the villa to watch for her. The moment they see Miss Gu Zhi, theyll bring her straight here.

Gu Dai nodded. Alright.

Observing her seated on the couch, Wu Zhen advised, Miss, staying up late isnt good for your health. Perhaps you should rest for the night and deal with Miss Gu Zhis situation in the morning. Once she returns, Ill have someone notify you.

Gu Dai gave a soft chuckle. Its alright. I rested this afternoon. I cant sleep right now, so I might as well use this time to address some work matters.

Saying this, she fetched her laptop from the table and began reviewing the companys recent collaborations.

From a distance, Wu Zhen couldnt discern the precise details on the screen but noticed the abundance of text.

Most people might feel drowsy at the sight, yet Gu Dai was wholly engrossed, occasionally suggesting revisions.

One glance at her was enough to grasp her prowess.

But seeing her work tirelessly, while proud, Wu Zhen couldnt help but feel a pang of sympathy. If the old lady was still alive, Gu Dai would likely still be a carefree child. Even if she had taken over the company, she wouldnt be this burdened.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhi had already shed her c.u.mbersome gown for a simple black casual attire and was cautiously approaching the villa.

She believed she had concealed her involvement in the Wei Ling incident well at the banquet, but the mere thought of Gu Dai made her feel uneasy, as if Gu Dai knew everything.

So even though the banquet had ended quite a while ago, Gu Zhi loitered outside, waiting until she thought Gu Dai would be asleep before sneaking back to the villa.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Zhi closed her eyes in reverence, making a praying gesture, silently pleading, Dear deities, please dont let Gu Dai discover that I was the one who orchestrated the act..
