Translator: _Min_ I
Wang Lan whispered comforting words to Song Yu, “Don’t be scared, Yuyu. The niece of that despicable woman who tried to ruin our family has left. You have nothing to worry about.”
Wang Lan thought Song Yu was just frightened by Jiang Yue’s presence and that’s why she screamed.
Song Ling, however, sensed something amiss. Jiang Yue’s peculiar behavior had not escaped his notice, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was hiding something.
With this thought, he made a call to Zhao Xuan.
Upon answering, Zhao Xuan immediately reported, “Mr. Song, I’ve had Luo An sign the termination contract.”
Song Ling acknowledged and then instructed, “Investigate what Jiang Yue has been up to recently.”
Zhao Xuan agreed, “Yes, President Song.”
At the Gu residence.
The doctor reassured them, “Miss Gu Dai has only suffered skin injuries. She’ll be fine after applying some medicine and resting for a few days.”
Su Ting’s worried heart finally settled.
Gu Dai chuckled softly and said, “You can leave now. I’m feeling sleepy and would like to rest.”
Su Ting nodded, “Alright.”
Though he agreed, Su Ting didn’t leave immediately. He quietly exited only after Gu Dai’s breathing became deep and steady and he had tucked her in comfortably.
Stepping out of the room, he made a call, his voice cold, “How are the Song Corporation and Sheng Media handling Luo An and Lin Yu?”
After receiving the answer, a dark glint passed through his eyes. He coldly declared, “If the Sheng Media won’t act, I will. Tell everyone in the circle not to work with Lin Yu ever again!”
Gu Dai quickly fell asleep but her slumber was restless. Her mind was filled with a series of images, including the face of a mysterious man.
She knew she was dreaming, but couldn’t wake up.
The dream was lengthy. She saw herself embracing the man’s waist, her face alight with joy as she looked at him. She also saw them participating in a school event and him patiently teaching her coding…
In a coquettish tone, she complained, “Su Ci, tell me how to crack this code, or I’ll get angry!”
Su Ci asked, “What will Daidai do when she’s angry?”
Gu Dai, after a moment of frustration, pinned the man down and threatened, “When I’m angry, I’ll keep calling your name to annoy you, Su Ci, Su Ci, Su Ci…”
Su Ci embraced her, burying his head in her neck, laughing softly, “I love it when Daidai calls my name; it engraves me in her heart.”
Su Ci, Su Ci, Su Ci…
<em >Gu Dai shouted, “Su Ci!” and abruptly woke up.
Her hand touched her tear-streaked face and her voice trembled with sadness as she said, “Su Ci, why did I forget you…”
Su Ci, the eldest son of the Su family, was a remarkable figure in school and Gu Dai’s senior.
They met at a school dance, gradually got to know each other, both young, they fell deeply in love.
Their relationship was awkward yet blissful as it was their first and it blossomed beautifully.
Gu Dai loved Su Ci dearly, and they had plans to marry and live happily together. But despite such deep love, she had forgotten him.
She had forgotten Su Ci, and even after regaining her memory, she remembered many but not him…
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, the door was knocked. Meng Zhi’s voice called out, “Daidai, it’s time to get up for dinner.”
Wiping away her tears, Gu Dai quickly got up and opened the door, pulling Meng Zhi into the room and asking urgently, “Third Brother, do you know where Su Ci is?”
Meng Zhi paused, then with a heavy heart, said, “You finally remembered.”
Frowning, Gu Dai asked, “What do you mean, Third Brother?”
She suddenly recalled several instances she had overlooked, where Meng Zhi clumsily hid something from her.
Looking at him incredulously, she asked, “Third Brother, you could have told me. Why did you keep Su Ci’s existence a secret?”
As the possibility dawned on her, she staggered, her voice trembling, “Did something happen to Su Ci?”
Meng Zhi took a deep breath and said, “He passed away in the cruise ship incident.”
Gu Dai’s vision blurred with tears.
Meng Zhi quickly supported her, turning his head away with a bitter expression, “Daidai, don’t be sad, you…”
Gu Dai collapsed to her knees, covering her throbbing head with her hands, repeatedly denying, “No, I don’t believe it.. You must be lying, right, Third Brother?”
