Chapter 88: Looking for Trouble
Translator: _Min_
Lin Sheng wanted to hit Wang Lan, but since Gu Dai had already spoken, he reluctantly withdrew his hand. However, his gaze was still coldly fixed on Wang Lan.
Wang Lan never expected that even after she had explained so clearly, Lin Sheng would still listen to Gu Dai. She couldn’t understand why all these men were so infatuated with her, as if they were blind!
Gu Dai’s exquisite face was stern, her aura chilling like ice.
Coldly watching Wang Lan, she said softly, “I’ve given you a chance, and you didn’t value it. Don’t blame me for being impolite now.”
Wang Lan’s heart trembled at the sight of Gu Dai’s expression. Instantly, she recalled the time at the art exhibition when she was slapped by Gu Dai. Still, she mustered the strength to retort, “What, did 1 say something wrong? Aren’t you the one who seduces any rich man you see, even middle-aged ones?”
Gu Dai let out a cold laugh, her eyes fixed tightly on Wang Lan. “Heh, my normal interactions with others are seen as seduction in your eyes. Thinking this way only proves you’re not a good person!”
Wang Lan became furious, “Don’t forget, I’m your mother-in-law. How dare you talk to me like this? Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose what you’ve done? Then everyone in the world will despise you!”
“Despise?” Gu Dai looked at Wang Lan as if she’d heard a joke and spoke dismissively, “I’ve divorced Song Ling, so you’re just a former mother-in-law. We have no relation now. If you want to expose me, go ahead. We’ll see whether it’s me who gets despised or you!”
Wang Lan was provoked by Gu Dai’s gaze and she retreated two steps, creating a safe distance before she spoke, “I don’t even have to think about it; you’ll definitely be the one despised. And you must be a jinx, probably the reason your parents died, leaving you an orphan. Good thing you’re now divorced from my son…”
In her triumph, Wang Lan didn’t notice Gu Dai advancing towards her step by step, the chill in her face and the cold aura around her was akin to a vengeful ghost.
Gu Dai didn’t let Wang Lan finish. She raised her hand to slap her.
Gu Dai hadn’t wanted to strike Wang Lan in front of her parents, knowing her words couldn’t really harm her, but she hadn’t expected Wang Lan to become increasingly offensive, even daring to bring up her parents.
That was simply asking for death!
Gu Dai used considerable force in the slap, sending Wang Lan tumbling to the ground.
Wang Lan touched her face, and the next second a numbing pain swept through her body. Regaining her senses, she screamed, “AH AH AH—GU DAI, you dare to hit me? 1 won’t let you off, I’ll scratch your face to pieces!”
Wang Lan extended her arms out, charging at Gu Dai like a madwoman.
But she’d only taken a few steps when she was grabbed, immobilized, and then violently thrown aside.
A deep, magnetic, and furious male voice came from above Wang Lan, “You’ve really got some nerve, daring to bully Daidai!”
Lin Sheng exhaled in relief at the sight of the man, glad that the third young master of the Meng family had arrived in time. Otherwise, the consequences of Miss Gu Dai’s anger would be unthinkable!
But Lin Sheng relaxed too soon, as Meng Zhi was equally terrifying when angered.
Gu Dai looked at Meng Zhi, whom she hadn’t seen for three years, and for a moment was stunned. Then she threw herself into his arms, exclaiming, “Third Brother!”
Meng Zhi gently stroked Gu Dai’s hair, whispering, “Daidai, brother is here, and I won’t let those who bullied you off.”
Wang Lan took several seconds to recover from her daze, turning angrily to see Gu Dai and Meng Zhi embracing.
Her eyes widened, disbelieving, she cried, “Why, why? Are all you men blind? Falling for Gu Dai, this fickle, unfaithful woman!”
Meng Zhi’s face turned cold, his eyes narrowing, and he spoke softly to Gu Dai, “Daidai, wait for me. I’ll deal with her first.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Okay, but be careful.”
With Gu Dai’s approval, Meng Zhi turned to face Wang Lan.
Wang Lan had only seen Meng Zhi’s back until now. Seeing his cold face, she felt afraid. She quickly suppressed her pain and scrambled back..
