Chapter 202: Are you even worthy

Translator: _Min_

Of course, Song Ling felt it, which was why he was so puzzled now. Then why did you suddenly change? Why did you become so distant, no longer treating me well?

Gu Dai almost laughed out of incredulity. She couldnt fathom how thick-skinned a person had to be to utter such a statement.

Trembling with suppressed anger, Gu Dai responded, Because Im not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. And if I suddenly stopped treating you well, shouldnt you reflect on your own actions?

Song Ling paused, confused. What do you mean?

Gu Dai felt increasingly pathetic for her amnesiac self who had fallen for such a man.

Bracing herself, Gu Dai continued, If I remember correctly, you were the one who cheated and got entangled with another woman. You were the one who betrayed our marriage. And now you have the audacity to question me. Are you even worthy?

Song Ling was dumbstruck by Gu Dais words. Catching a glimpse of the pain in her eyes, he felt momentarily lost.

Song Ling stammered, I

Closing her eyes for a moment to regain her composure, Gu Dai finally said, Enough. Theres nothing more to say about this matter.

She walked past Song Ling and closed the door to her office.

Lin Sheng arrived, having caught wind of the commotion, and found Song Ling standing outside the office door.

The employees who had witnessed the entire scene brightened up when they saw Lin Sheng and hastily recounted what had just happened.

After hearing the account, Lin Shengs gaze toward Song Ling became increasingly complicated.

Lin Sheng nodded to the employees, gesturing for them to return to their work. Dont talk about this, he cautioned.

The employees nodded and left the scene, only then finding the time to reflect on the shocking turn of events.

They hadnt realized that their respected boss Gu Dai had been married in the three years she had disappearedmarried to Song Ling, no less, who had turned out to be a rather poor spouse.

Lin Sheng approached Song Ling and said courteously, Mr. Song, let me walk you out.

Song Ling slowly turned his head to look at Lin Sheng.

Ever since discovering that Gu Dai was the Chairwoman of the Gu Group, he had ordered background checks on all its employees. Therefore, he instantly recognized Lin Sheng as Gu Dais special a.s.sistant, the person she trusted most.

The person Gu Dai trusted most he should know something about her, right?

Song Ling tilted his head towards Lin Sheng and spoke, Lets talk.

Lin Sheng furrowed his brows, thinking that there wasnt much to discuss between them.

Song Ling continued, About Gu Dai.

The words of refusal halted on Lin Shengs lips.

Inside the office.

Zhou Ci hastily apologized to Gu Dai, Im sorry, it was me who told him yesterday that we had a Suzhou embroidery partners.h.i.+p.

Gu Dais eyes narrowed slightly as she asked in a chilly tone, Did you also tell him when the partners.h.i.+p would take place?

Zhou Ci shook his head vigorously, denying it. No, no, Song Ling found that out on his own.

Gu Dai responded with a grunt, lowering her eyes and softly murmuring, Well, thats consistent with my impression of him.

Gu Dai changed the subject, Enough, discussing Song Ling is a waste of time. Lets move on to our partners.h.i.+p. Heres the contract Ive drafted, have a look.

Zhou Ci took the contract and briefly scanned it, ready to sign immediately.

Seeing this, Gu Dai intervened, Arent you going to read it thoroughly? Youre not worried that I mightve set some trap in it?

Zhou Ci looked up at Gu Dai and smiled, No, were friends, and 1 trust you.

Gu Dai felt her irritable mood lift considerably at Zhou Cis words.

Jokingly, Gu Dai added, Actually, this is an exploitative contract where I take ninety percent and you get ten.

Unfazed, Zhou Ci nodded and responded with a smile, As long as youre happy, I dont mind taking a loss.

Gu Dai a.s.sured him, Dont worry, its a fifty-fifty contract; you wont lose out.

Zhou Ci made an exaggeratedly happy face and exclaimed, Thank you, Chairwoman Gu!

He didnt forget to add, Investing in Suzhou embroidery means I dont care about losses; 1 mainly want to support you!

Gu Dai suppressed her emotions for a moment but eventually couldnt help but call him out, No, youre not investing to support me; you know Suzhou embroidery has potential.

Surprise flickered in Zhou Cis eyes as he waited for Gu Dai to continue.

Gu Dai revealed, In fact, you started researching Suzhou embroidery a few months ago and even conducted market simulations. Only after confirming its viability did you decide to invest..
