Chapter 552: Go Without Any Worries

Translator: _Min_ |

Gu Dai pressed her lips together, wrestling with her thoughts for a long while before taking a deep breath and addressing Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, Mom, dad, the company is facing a shortage of raw materials, and I need to travel abroad tomorrow to discuss the materials with a supplier.

Gu Zhe asked, Is this project urgent?

Gu Dai nodded, The project has been delayed for a few days already due to the lack of materials.

Meng Xian, uneasy, suggested, We just escaped from the island, and the person behind this might take this opportunity to act. Its too dangerous for you to go abroad alone. Perhaps we should abandon this project.

Gu Dai found herself in a difficult position; her primary purpose for going abroad was not actually to acquire raw materials but to investigate the true culprit behind their ordeal on the island.

Su Ting stepped forward, Uncle, auntie, dont worry. I will accompany Daidai tomorrow. I promise no harm will come to her.

Gu Dai frowned subconsciously, not wanting to involve Su Ting.

However, Gu Zhe and Meng Xian were relieved, If you two are going together, well be more at ease.

Hearing her parents say this, Gu Dai found herself unable to reject Su Ting.

Meng Xian, watching Gu Dai and Su Ting head upstairs together, couldnt help but remark, Those two really do make a good pair.

Gu Zhe nodded, I remember when Daidai first brought Su Ting home. He knew nothing back then, and now, in just a few years, he has achieved so much.

Meng Xian chuckled, Su Ting has put in so much effort to be worthy of Daidai.

I believe he will treat her well in the future.

Back in her room, Gu Dai said, Your company must have matters that need your attention. Maybe I should go by myself tomorrow.

Su Ting quickly responded, Daidai, my company isnt busy.

He then added, somewhat plaintively, And you had agreed before that I could come with you.

Gu Dai remembered, but

She said, I later said Id think about it.

Su Ting softly argued, If I dont go, uncle and auntie will surely notice and worry endlessly about you.

Gu Dai sighed, Lets go together tomorrow then.

Su Tings eyes lit up, and he nodded, Ill go pack my things right now!

A few minutes later, Gu Dai heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Su Ting, she opened the door, saying, I wont leave you behind tomorrow, so dont worry

Her words trailed off as she saw Meng Si standing before her. She coughed lightly and then greeted, Big brother.

Meng Si nodded, handing her a small box, Open it and see if you like it.

Inside the box was a necklace, simple yet adorned with pearls, luxurious but understated.

Gu Dai carefully closed the box, looking at Meng Si, Thank you, big brother. I really like it.

Meng Si smiled, Im glad you like it.

He didnt miss Gu Dais words upon opening the door, I heard from auntie that youre going abroad for a project?

Gu Dai nodded, Yes, weve run out of a certain raw material, and I need to go abroad

Feeling a sense of guilt under Meng Sis gaze, her voice grew softer, feeling as if Meng Si could see through her.

Meng Si sighed deeply, asking in a serious tone, Daidai, is your trip abroad really just for the raw material?

Knowing Meng Si was aware of the truth, Gu Dai lowered her head, silent for a few seconds before affirming, Big brother, I have to find out whos behind this. Even if you try to stop me, I wont give up!

Bracing herself for Meng Sis objection, she was surprised to feel a gentle touch on her head.

Looking up in confusion, she called out, Big brother?

Meng Si softly said, I wont stop you.

Meeting Gu Dais puzzled gaze, he continued, If Daidai wants to do this, then go ahead.

Understanding Meng Sis stance, Gu Dai nodded vigorously, Okay!

Meng Si added, But for your safety, I still need to arrange for some people to protect you in secret, is that okay?

Gu Dai had no objections, Of course!

She thought of her parents, expressing her worry, The person who imprisoned mom and dad might come after them. While Im away, I hope you can take care of them.

Meng Si rea.s.sured, Daidai, your parents are my auntie and uncle, my family. Even if you didnt ask, I would take good care of them..
