Wang Lan glared at Gu Dai, her voice seething with anger, “Who did you say has a problem with their eyes?”
Gu Dai replied coolly, “The person who’s glaring at me.”
After a brief pause, she added, “Which is you!”
Wang Lan, fuming with rage, retorted, “Gu Dai, how dare you speak to me like that! 1 won’t let you off!”
As Wang Lan strode towards Gu Dai, ready to strike, her hand was suddenly seized and flung aside before she could reach her.
Wang Lan staggered back several steps before regaining her balance.
Meng Chuan had just entered the private room when he saw someone attempting to hit Gu Dai. Without a second thought, he rushed forward to protect her.
Meng Chuan turned to Gu Dai with a concerned inquiry, “Daidai, are you alright?”
Gu Dai shook her head with a light laugh, “She didn’t even get close to me before you stopped her.”
Meng Chuan sighed in relief, “Good to hear that.”
Gu Dai looked puzzled, “Second Brother, how did you find me? And where’s Yinyin?”
Meng Chuan explained, “After parking the car, 1 took Yinyin to the private room. But when you didn’t show up, I asked the staff and came looking for you.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding.
Wang Lan, witnessing Gu Dai chatting and laughing with someone else, shrieked, “Gu Dai, you fickle woman, finding another man to come and attack me!”
Gu Dai calmly denied, “I did not.”
Wang Lan sneered, “Deny it all you want, him standing right here is proof!”
Meng Chuan’s stern gaze fell on Wang Lan.
Wang Lan shivered, feeling a twinge of pain in the wrist that Meng Chuan had grabbed, and she couldn’t shake off the familiar feeling she had towards this masked man.
Sheng Xin attempted to defend Wang Lan, “Gu Dai, why are you bullying auntie? Now you even brought someone to bully her? Isn’t that a bit too uncultured?”
Gu Dai tilted her head, puzzled, “Defending myself against slander is being uncultured? Then what about those who slander, aren’t they inhuman?”
Sheng Xin, glancing at Wang Lan, hastily clarified, “Auntie, I didn’t mean that!”
Gu Dai, surprised at Sheng Xin’s demeanor, asked, “You’re already so cautious in pleasing her even before marrying Song Ling?”
Sheng Xin, taken aback by the word “pleasing,” quickly responded, “I am the heiress of Sheng Media. Why would 1 need to please anyone? Besides, auntie is easy to get along with. We got along like family after just a few conversations. No need to please her!”
Gu Dai remained silent, observing Sheng Xin as if she were looking at a fool.
Sheng Xin, having witnessed Wang Lan’s thoughtless behavior, still found her easy to get along with and wasn’t worried about Wang Lan turning against her in the future.
However, Gu Dai considered the possibility that Wang Lan and Sheng Xin might actually be similar kinds of people.
This realization made everything clear to Gu Dai.
Sheng Xin, unable to decipher the meaning behind Gu Dai’s gaze, felt something odd and asked coldly, “What’s with that look? Are you looking down on me?”
Without waiting for Gu Dai to reply, Sheng Xin continued, “I’m much stronger than someone like you who only relies on men. What right do you have to look down on me?”
Wang Lan chimed in, “Yeah, what right does a woman who flits between men have to speak? Maybe this restaurant of yours was just a gift from one of your men?”
Gu Dai held back Meng Chuan, who wanted to lash out at Wang Lan and Sheng Xin, whispering, “Second Brother, they’re not worth it. Let me handle this.”
Meng Chuan, though seething with anger, replied, “Okay.”
Unaware that she had narrowly escaped Meng Chuan’s wrath, Sheng Xin, seeing his angry demeanor, questioned him, “Gu Dai has so many men around her, don’t you have a problem with that?”
Meng Chuan’s gaze was icy as he responded coldly, “As long as Daidai is happy, 1 don’t care how many men she keeps. I support her!”
Sheng Xin clenched her fists, filled with jealousy.
She believed she was far superior to Gu Dai, yet all these men around Gu Dai could accept each other’s presence and still love her.
In contrast, she had once dated three men simultaneously, and when they found out about each other, not only did they break up with her, but they also beat her up!
Determined to break up Gu Dai and Meng Chuan, Sheng Xin scanned Meng Chuan and said, “You’re quite handsome.. Have you ever thought about being a celebrity?”
