Chapter 256: Shut Up

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai looked at Meng Zhis reaction and laughed, Third Brother, why are you still so scared of Big Brother?

Meng Zhi admitted, Because Big Brother is really bad tempered. Daidai, youll never understand how I feel!

Gu Dai nodded in agreement, Thats true.

Meng Chuan pulled Meng Zhi aside and then turned to Gu Dai with a smile, Daidai, do you like the gifts we gave? If not, we can go buy others for you!

Gu Dai smiled back, 1 love them. Any gift from my brothers and Yinyin is precious to me.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Gu Dai suggested, Its getting late. Lets eat.

Gu Yin shook her head, Cousin, lets wait a bit longer. Theres one more person who wants to give you a gift.

Meng Zhi added, Right, he said he wanted to personally deliver the gift to you.

Gu Dai was curious about who Gu Yin and Meng Zhi were referring to.

Just then, the door opened, and Feng Fei, dressed in a chefs uniform, came in with a dish.

Feng Fei, with a simple smile, said, Miss Gu, cooking is the only thing Im good at. So, I made this dish for you. Its a new recipe Ive been working on. I hope it suits your taste.

Feng Fei brought not just one but a dozen of dishes in just a few minutes.

Gu Dai, puzzled, asked, This is?

Feng Fei sheepishly replied, 1 couldnt help but make a few extra dishes thinking of your birthday.

In truth, if it werent for his apprentices intervention, Feng Fei could have continued his work.

Gu Dai gazed at the mult.i.tude of gifts before her, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, turning red, and her nose feeling stuffy with emotion.

Meng Chuan gently consoled her, Dont cry, Daidai. Lets eat first. Theres another gift waiting for you at home.

Gu Dai, suppressing her curiosity, nodded lightly, Okay.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere in Gu Dais private room, Song Lings was much quieter.

His dark eyes reflected thoughts of Meng Chuan and Gu Dai leaving together, his presence emanating a cold aura that made w.a.n.g Lan s.h.i.+ver.

w.a.n.g Lan, too, was in a poor mood.

Her favorite actor, Meng Chuan, seemed enamored with Gu Dai, showing a submissive side in front of her. Her dream was shattered.

w.a.n.g Lan spitefully said, Gu Dai is a seductress, bewitching men. Shes surrounded by men every day; I wonder if she can handle it!

Song Lings icy gaze fell on w.a.n.g Lan.

w.a.n.g Lan, caught up in her rant, couldnt help but whisper to her son, despite noticing Song Lings gaze. Son, why didnt you help me and Xinxin just now? If you had stood up for us, Gu Dai certainly wouldnt have been so arrogant

Song Ling, clenching his fists, veins throbbing, snapped, Shut up!

w.a.n.g Lans eyes widened in shock, Youre talking to me like this?

Song Ling, his brows furrowed and gaze cold, retorted, You dont act like an elder, so how can I respect you?

w.a.n.g Lan stepped back, then defended herself, It was Gu Dai who insulted me first. I was just retaliating.

Song Ling coldly countered, Gu Dai wouldnt provoke you without reason. You must have started it.

Pausing, he added, So you being insulted is your own fault.

w.a.n.g Lan, hit by the truth in Song Lings words, still harbored a sense of unwillingness in her heart. But no matter what, I am your mother. Shouldnt you be defending me?

After uttering these words, a sudden thought struck w.a.n.g Lan, leading her to confront Song Ling with an accusatory tone, Have you also been bewitched by Gu Dai? Have you fallen for her?

Song Ling paused, then firmly denied, No!

w.a.n.g Lan, refusing to believe him, tearfully protested, I dont believe you. You must like her, else why would you defend her and accuse me? You were never like this before!

For three years, no matter how she bullied Gu Dai, Song Ling never intervened. But now, everything had changed.

w.a.n.g Lan blamed Gu Dai, convinced she had bewitched Song Ling.

Hearing w.a.n.g Lans words, Song Ling paled, realizing his past behavior towards Gu Dai was far worse than he had imagined..
