Chapter 447: Grandmas fracture

Translator: _Min_ |

Su Ci hung his head, his eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with coldness. Even with such a great honor, Song Ling has not treated Daidai well in these three years. So, what right does he have to possess her?

Hate welled up in Su Cis heart, but it was directed at himself.

He resented the burdens he carried, preventing him from being with the one he loved.

From his pocket, he took out a pendant Gu Dai had once given him and whispered, Daidai, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side to protect you, whether or not you choose to be with me.

The next day, Gu Dai got up for breakfast and prepared for work. However, she couldnt shake the feeling that something was different at home today.

Especially Zhang Zhens evasive glances which seemed to hide something from her.

Gu Dai lowered her eyes and asked, Uncle Zhang, is there something you need to tell me?

Caught off-guard, Zhang Zhen quickly shook his head. No, no, Miss. Nothing has happened at home. Dont worry!

Gu Dai sighed. Uncle Zhang, youre not good at lying. Even if you dont tell me now, I can have someone investigate. Sooner or later, Ill find out whats going on.

After a moment of internal debate, Zhang Zhen closed his eyes and confessed, Its the old lady. She slipped in the bathroom yesterday while was.h.i.+ng up, causing a fracture. Shes currently hospitalized.

Pale-faced, Gu Dai put down her chopsticks and swiftly walked outside.

Zhang Zhen quickly followed her and rea.s.sured, Miss, dont be alarmed. Its just a minor fracture.

Gu Dai nodded but drove to the hospital at an unrelenting speed. Upon arrival, she quickly entered Xu Huans ward.

Xu Huan was watching the news on TV and having breakfast. Seeing Gu Dai, she instinctively averted her eyes.

Gu Dai approached and, seeing that Xu Huan had indeed only suffered a minor fracture and no other injuries, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Huan said, Daidai, dont worry about me. Its almost time for work. Go to the office. Dont let me hold you back.

Gu Dai disagreed, Grandma, such a serious matter as your injury, and you had Uncle Zhang keep it from me. If I had found out after you had recovered, I would have felt I was irresponsible.

Xu Huan quickly promised, If something like this happens again, I wont keep it from you.

Gu Dai then nodded and said, Grandma, dont lie to me, or Ill be mad.

Xu Huan nodded repeatedly.

Gu Dai smiled and said, Ill stay in the hospital to take care of you until your condition improves. Then, Ill leave.

Without pause, she added, Thats settled. Now, Ill go to work to sort out some contracts and bring them here to handle.

Xu Huan wanted to object, but Gu Dai had already left the ward quickly, not giving her a chance to refuse.

At the elevator, Gu Dai inwardly sighed upon seeing three approaching figures.

She was already annoyed by the sight of Song Ling alone; now w.a.n.g Lan and Song Yu were with him.

Song Ling looked a bit awkward upon seeing Gu Dai.

Remembering that he actually went to see a neurologist because of what Gu Dai said last night, he felt his face burning with embarra.s.sment.

Song Yus eyes brightened when she saw Gu Dai and called out cheerfully, Older sister!

w.a.n.g Lan frowned and lectured Song Yu, Yuyu, you dont have an older sister. Dont just call anyone you see that.

Ignoring w.a.n.g Lan, Song Yu broke free from her grasp and ran towards Gu Dai.

w.a.n.g Lan followed Song Yus gaze to Gu Dai, her expression turning sour.

She walked over, grabbed Song Yus arm, and said forcefully, Lets go. Dont cling to this woman.

Song Yu resisted, clinging to Gu Dais clothes and crying, No, no, I dont want to leave my sister.

Angry, w.a.n.g Lan said, Song Yu, you used to hate Gu Dai the most. When you come to your senses, youll regret whats happening now!

Unable to persuade Song Yu, she turned to Gu Dai and coldly said, I knew you were no good. What tricks did you use to bewitch my daughter? Release her from your spell, or I wont be polite to you, you despicable woman!

Gu Dai laughed coldly and replied icily, It was your daughter who threw herself at me.. I havent sought you out, and now you come to scold me?
