Su Ting gently grasped Gu Dai’s hand, speaking in a soft voice, “Sis, don’t worry. I feel that my injury is almost healed.”
Gu Dai looked at Su Ting, her urge to send him home to rest dissipating. She advised, “Be careful later, okay? Don’t hurt yourself.”
Su Ting nodded obediently, replying, “Okay.”
Despite Su Ting’s belief that his injuries were not severe, Gu Dai always seemed overly concerned about them, treating them as if they were more serious.
Song Ling’s face darkened as he watched the cheerful exchange between Gu Dai and Su Ting.
He had just been discussing a partnership with the Wang Corporation at the hotel. Upon seeing Gu Dai, he had hurriedly signed the contract and rushed to her private room.
He felt like an invisible man to Gu Dai, who showed no concern for him, yet she was completely different with Su Ting.
Even Song Ling, who wasn’t the sharpest, could sense that Gu Dai was targeting him, and him alone.
Mao Ni wrapped her arms around herself, leaning close to Wei Jia to whisper, “Jiajia, do you suddenly feel cold?”
Wei Jia nodded and gave Mao Ni a look, subtly hinted that the chill emanated from Song Ling.
Everyone else seemed to feel it too.
“This is certainly a complicated relationship.”
“It’s no surprise the beautiful sister has so many handsome admirers. But, don’t you think the man talking to her looks familiar?”
“I thought so too, as if I’ve seen him somewhere.”
“I think he looks like Su Ting, and it might even be him!”
“Wow, so thrilling. I always thought Su Ting would live a desireless life alone. I never expected him to have someone he likes and to act so differently in front of her, devoid of any detachment!”
While everyone was discussing, Gu Dai had already settled Su Ting and Meng Zhi into their seats.
Upon seeing Song Ling, Su Ting’s gaze turned colder.
Song Ling returned the look with icy eyes.
Zheng Ming approached Gu Dai and whispered, “Chairwoman Gu, the CEO of Wen Corporation, Wen He, is asking if you have time to discuss a partnership.”
Gu Dai nodded and replied, “Let’s go.”
As Gu Dai was about to leave, Su Ting instinctively grabbed her hand, calling out, “Sis.”
Gu Dai patiently explained, “I’ve been busy with the Suzhou embroidery collaboration and postponed the meeting with Wen Corporation. I’ll be back in about ten minutes.”
Su Ting released her hand and replied, “Okay.”
Meng Zhi and Song Ling watched as Gu Dai left.
In her absence, the three men no longer suppressed their imposing auras, eyeing each other with animosity.
Zhen Chan watched them calmly, taking a bite of her food, wondering whom Gu Dai would eventually fall for.
Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, Li Ying lowered her cap, her gaze covertly fixed on Gu Dai, who was talking to a middle-aged man.
Li Ying’s eyes flashed with disdain, her twisted thoughts belittling Gu Dai for engaging in illicit relations with the man while pretending to be pure.
Li Ying handed a card with 100,000 to a waiter, instructing, “Give this drink to that woman.”
The waiter assured her with a sincere smile, “Don’t worry, miss. I’ll complete the task perfectly. Just wait and watch.”
Gu Dai was efficient in her negotiations, quickly finalizing the partnership with Wen He. “Mr. Wen, a pleasure doing business with you.”
Wen He, admiring Gu Dai’s youthful ambition, smiled, “Pleasure indeed, Chairwoman Gu. Let me offer you a toast.”
Gu Dai nodded, and as the waiter approached with a drink, she accepted it.
After clinking glasses with Wen He, she tilted her head back and finished the drink in one gulp.
Li Ying, watching Gu Dai drink it all, felt a surge of insanity and excitement. She called Gu Ming, “I’ve followed your instructions and given the drink to that woman. The rest is up to you. Remember, don’t be lenient.. Teach her a harsh lesson!”
