Chapter 309:1 don’t like Jiang Yue
Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Ming and Gu Si were both children of Grandma Gu, and Gu Dai feared that if Grandma returned from her travels, she would be heartbroken to see Gu Dai confronting them.
But it was Gu Ming and Gu Si who first harbored ill intentions; Gu Dai was merely retaliating.
Closing her eyes and leaning back in her chair, Gu Dai envisioned her grandmother smiling at her, embracing her younger self in her arms.
Song Ling returned home with a dark expression. However, upon seeing Jiang Yue at the villa’s entrance, his face grew even colder, and a chilly aura emanated from him as if it cost nothing.
Zhao Xuan quickly tightened his coat, wrapping himself more snugly before looking up with a disapproving gaze at the troublemaker.
Jiang Yue, with her hair disheveled and face stained with tears, stared at Song Ling with hopeful eyes.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue, Zhao Xuan was at a loss for words. If he were in Song Ling’s place, he would have driven her away long ago. But he wasn’t Song Ling, so he could only stand expressionlessly aside.
Jiang Yue, heartbroken, asked, “Brother Song Ling, why haven’t you been answering my calls or seeing me? Don’t you like me anymore?”
Song Ling looked at Jiang Yue with a complex expression. She bore no resemblance to the girl he remembered. He couldn’t understand how she had changed so drastically, as if she were a completely different person.
Seeing Song Ling staring at her, Jiang Yue mistook it for a chance and softly called, “Brother Song Ling…”
Snapping out of his reverie, Song Ling said, “I don’t like you, and I never did.”
Jiang Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, “That’s impossible! You can’t possibly not like me. You used to care for me so much, even neglecting your wife, Gu Dai. If that’s not liking, what is?”
Song Ling’s expression darkened. His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tighter. He turned to Zhao Xuan and coldly ordered, “Take her away.”
Zhao Xuan, already displeased with Jiang Yue, quickly approached and dragged her away upon Song Ling’s command.
Jiang Yue struggled fiercely but was no match for Zhao Xuan. She cried out, “Let me go! Why are you doing this to me, Brother Song Ling?”
Song Ling watched coldly as Jiang Yue was taken away, only entering the villa after she disappeared from sight.
Zhao Xuan returned after ten minutes. Seeing Song Ling standing on the balcony with a gloomy expression, he contemplated fleeing.
“Zhao Xuan,” called Song Ling.
Zhao Xuan’s thought of sneaking away was interrupted. He approached and said softly, “President Song, I’ve sent Miss Jiang Yue away, but she seemed reluctant.”
Song Ling responded indifferently and then fell silent.
Zhao Xuan, based on his recent experiences, anticipated that Song Ling would soon bring up Miss Gu Dai. He prepared himself for the conversation.
Song Ling asked, “What do you think about my past treatment of Gu Dai?”
Zhao Xuan, guessing Song Ling’s question, fell silent momentarily.
He wanted to ask if Song Ling had no self-awareness about his actions.
But as his boss, Zhao Xuan suppressed his thoughts and hesitantly began, “I, I think… President Song, you…”
Before Zhao Xuan could finish, Song Ling said in a low voice, “I must have treated her poorly, and I did indeed cause many misunderstandings.”
“I’ve done so much in the past; it’s only natural for Gu Dai to be cold towards me now…”
Zhao Xuan remained silent, realizing Song Ling didn’t need him to speak. He decided to zone out and rest for a while.
“Did you find the Legendary Doctor?” Song Ling suddenly asked.
Zhao Xuan was jolted awake by the question and answered in a fluster, “I’m sorry, President Song, I haven’t found him yet.”
Song Ling spoke coldly, “It’s been so long, and you still haven’t found him. What use are you?”
Zhao Xuan mentally argued that the Legendary Doctor was hard to track, but outwardly, he just bowed his head and took the scolding.
Remembering the photo of the Legendary Doctor bought for 1 million at the hospital, which Song Ling hadn’t had time to see, Zhao Xuan cautiously suggested, “President Song, would you like to look at the photo I sent you? It might provide a clue.”
Before Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he received a call. His face changed as he listened, then he urgently reported, “There’s an urgent situation, President Song. Miss Jiang Yue has gone to the rooftop of Gu Group’s building.. My men say she’s threatening to jump!”
