Chapter 91: Not Interested

Translator: _Min_

In Zhou Cis mind, a notion had begun to form, though he was hesitant to believe it. To him, Gu Dai had always been the image of a lonely girl. However, the striking resemblance she bore made it hard for him to disregard his suspicions.

Lost in his thoughts, Zhou Ci blurted out, Why are you here paying respects to the founder of the Gu Group? Whats your relation to them?

Gu Dai, with her arms folded and an indifferent expression, replied, Havent you already guessed?

It had to be admitted that Zhou Ci was a bit sharper than Song Ling.

Nevertheless, it took him a moment to fully process the revelation coming straight from Gu Dais mouth. Staring in disbelief, he said, Youre really the Gu familys young lady!

Meng Zhi, looking somewhat disdainful, cast a glance at Zhou Ci, as if looking at an idiot, then gently advised Gu Dai, Daidai, dont a.s.sociate with men like him, understand?

Gu Dai nodded, replying, Dont worry, 1 understand.

Even without Meng Zhis reminder, Gu Dai wouldnt have mingled much with Zhou Ci. Men who were smooth talkers and frequent visitors to clubs were not her type.

Moreover, knowing that Zhou Ci was a close friend of Song Ling, she was even more reluctant to be around him.

After he heard their conversation, Zhou Cis hairs all stood up, as he quickly interjected with a forced smile, Miss Gu, or rather, Chairwoman Gu, weve known each other for years. Dont be so distant. By the way, have you eaten? Would 1 have the honor of inviting you to dinner?

Rumors about Miss Gu were widespread. Zhou Ci had heard more than once from his parents about her influence, and with the recent surge in the Gu familys stock value, he believed that if he could facilitate cooperation between the Meng and Gu families, not only would his parents view him favorably, but his position in the company would also improve.

With that in mind, Zhou Ci enthusiastically continued, I also heard you enjoy art. Theres a master artist currently hosting an exhibition in the capital. I happen to have two tickets. Would you be interested in going with me?

Initially, Zhou Ci had planned to take an actress who recently rose-to-fame to the exhibition, but with the presence of someone as significant as Gu Dai, the actress was now secondary.

Meng Zhis gaze grew colder, clearly not pleased with Zhou Cis audacious invitation towards his sister.

Unfazed by Meng Zhis piercing stare, even though it was so deadly that it could probably kill him several times over, Zhou Ci continued to fix his gaze on Gu Dai, Even if youre not interested in the above offers, you can choose a destination. Whether its to the ends of the earth, Im willing to accompany you.

However, Gu Dai, not even sparing him a glance, coldly responded, Any scenario where 1 see you isnt of interest to me.

Zhou Ci was taken aback.

How did the post-amnesia Gu Dai, who used to be so easily influenced, become so indifferent after regaining her memory?

Originally, Zhou Ci had entertained the thought of playing matchmaker between Song Ling and Gu Dai if Song Ling ever regretted his choices. But seeing Miss Gus temperament now, Zhou Ci could only conclude without surprise that Song Ling likely had no chance in this lifetime.

After Gu Dai spoke, she turned her attention to Meng Zhi, speaking softly, Third Brother, Id like some solitude for now. Can you please take him away?

Without hesitation, Meng Zhi nodded, as he had long been annoyed by Zhou Cis presence. Lin Sheng, who had been standing nearby, stepped forward. The two of them each grabbed one of Zhou Cis arms and began to drag him away.

As he was being dragged, Zhou Ci called out, still unrelenting, Daidai, you cant be this heartless! We might not have been close before, but our bond can still grow

Lin Sheng, unable to tolerate Zhou Cis continued shouting, covered his mouth.

m.u.f.fled sounds escaped Zhou Cis mouth as he was pulled away.

After Zhou Ci had left, the area around Gu Dai returned to silence. She silently began to sweep the fallen leaves from the front of the tombstone. She then took out three sticks of incense, her eyes filled with sorrow. After bowing three times in front of the tombstone, she stood silently.

Upon entering the graveyard, Song Ling witnessed this scene. Piecing together the information he had, he finally confirmed the suspicion he had initially found so hard to believe..
