Chapter 308: Fu Nan looks like that person
Translator: _Min_ |
Meng Chuan cast a glance at Meng Zhi, signaling for him to speak.
After receiving the cue from his older brother, Meng Zhi hesitated for a few seconds before quickly speaking up, “It’s about how you hurriedly sent Fu Nan home. When he looked at you, his eyes sparkled. Isn’t that a sign you’re already in a relationship?”
Gu Dai, realizing the implication belatedly, widened her eyes in disbelief and hurriedly denied, “You’re mistaken, I’m not in a relationship with him.”
Meng Chuan, however, remained unconvinced by Gu Dai’s words and said with a smile, “Daidai, there’s no need to deceive us. When Chu Min was sending Fu Nan back, he mentioned that Fu Nan is the one you’re interested in.”
Meng Zhi chimed in, “In today’s fast-paced world, it’s normal to like several people. If you’re dating multiple people, both your second brother and I support you.”
Gu Dai was left dumbfounded by Meng Zhi’s words. She turned to look at Meng Chuan, hoping he would intervene, but to her surprise, he nodded in agreement.
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi seemed eager for Gu Dai to take an interest in more people, hoping to erase the memory of the man who had once hurt her from her heart.
However, Fu Nan seemed familiar to them. Gu Dai’s words provided a clue.
Gu Dai said helplessly, “When I said I was interested in Fu Nan, it was because of his good looks and suitability for the entertainment industry. Beyond that, I have no other thoughts about him.”
“By the way, when I was in Chuan City, I noticed with Chu Min that not only does he resemble Song Ling, but also Su Ting. Do handsome men tend to look alike?”
Meng Chuan was the first to refute, “Of course not. For example, I’m handsome, but I don’t look like them.”
Meng Zhi quickly added, “Me too, me too.”
Gu Dai watched their excited rebuttals, shaking her head and sighing, “Second Brother, Third Brother, why are you acting like children? So immature.”
Instead of objecting, Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi held their heads high and chests out, looking rather proud.
Meng Chuan decided not to dwell on Fu Nan’s matter, knowing that if Gu Dai still harbored feelings for Song Ling, he could intervene and encourage her to consider Fu Nan as an alternative.
Meng Zhi glanced at Meng Chuan with a complex expression, sensing that his second brother was still unaware of certain truths about that person.
In fact, Fu Nan resembled another person more than Su Ting or Song Ling…
Unaware of their thoughts, Gu Dai began discussing another matter.
Lowering her gaze, Gu Dai spoke solemnly, “I suspect there’s more to our parents’ death. I met Gu Si in Chuan City, but I doubt she’s capable of devising such a scheme alone. There must be someone behind her.”
Meng Chuan and Meng Zhi hadn’t anticipated the complexity of the situation, but they were ready to stand by Gu Dai no matter what.
Meng Chuan affirmed, “Daidai, just tell us what to do. Your Third Brother and I will follow your lead.”
Meng Zhi nodded, “I remember Gu Ming and Gu Si were also in collusion. Since he’s not far, should we capture him now?”
Gu Dai, lowering her gaze, gently shook her head, “Wait for now. We shouldn’t act hastily. The person behind them is still unknown, and acting now might alert them.”
“Our primary target isn’t Gu Ming or Gu Si, but the person backing them,” Gu Dai clarified.
Both brothers nodded in agreement, “Alright!”
Meng Chuan couldn’t help but admire Gu Dai’s composure and ability to think clearly under pressure. “Daidai is truly outstanding. Facing problems with such calm and clarity.”
Gu Dai, slightly blushing at the praise, said softly, “Second Brother, you’re viewing me through rose-colored glasses.”
Meng Chuan shook his head earnestly, “There are no filters here.”
Meng Zhi added, “Remember, Daidai, no matter how exceptional you are, you always have your brothers. Whatever problems arise, you can count on us.”
Gu Dai felt a warm glow in her heart and smiled, “I know!”
In that moment, Gu Dai felt like she was back in her childhood, cherished and protected by her bigger brothers.
After returning to her room, Gu Dai took a box from the drawer. Opening it, she gazed at a beautiful jade bracelet inside for a long time before putting it away.
It was a gift from her grandmother.
Her grandmother had always been very kind to her, teaching her many life lessons. Gu Dai’s free-spirited personality was significantly shaped by her grandmother’s influence..
