Not My Son

Gu Dai gently took out a tissue and wiped the tears from Xu Huan’s eyes, speaking softly, “Grandma, please don’t cry.”
Xu Huan tilted her head back slightly, holding back her tears, and said, “Okay, I won’t cry, I won’t cry.”
After calming herself, she eagerly looked at Gu Dai and asked, “Daidai, can you take me to find him?”
Gu Dai pursed her lips, thinking about the hatred that Father Su held towards the Gu family, feeling a bit hesitant.
After all, she still had some confusion. If it was just a matter of getting lost, then why did he hate the Gu family so much? And although Su Ci mentioned that Father Su was Xu Huan’s child, Grandma now claimed she was the child of a friend.
She hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Okay, but not right now. We’ll have to wait a bit.”
Although Xu Huan was anxious, she responded, “Okay.”
Taking a deep breath, Gu Dai then asked, “Grandma, isn’t that man your son?”
Xu Huan was taken aback for a second, then shook her head, “No, he is my friend’s son.”
Seeing Xu Huan’s firm manner, Gu Dai slowly began to believe her words, but if Father Su was not Xu Huan’s child, then was her father…
Upon this thought, she asked, “Grandma, is my father your child?”
Xu Huan remained silent for a moment, then softly said, “No, your father is also my friend’s child.”
Hearing Xu Huan’s words, Gu Dai felt even more perplexed.
She wanted to ask more, but seeing Xu Huan’s reluctance to speak further, she held back her questions.
Returning to her room, she rubbed her slightly sore temples, her face showing signs of fatigue.
The recent events had been overwhelming, and piecing everything together made her feel tired.
Then, her phone rang.
Seeing the name Song Ling on the screen, she didn’t hesitate to hang up the call.
Su Ting entered the room just to find Gu Dai frowning. He put down what he was holding and approached her, asking softly, “Daidai, what’s wrong?”
After seeing Su Ting’s delicate features, the irritation in Gu Dai’s heart dissipated slightly. She briefly described what had happened in the room.
Upon hearing her, Su Ting also frowned slightly and then sighed softly, “Daidai, stop thinking about these things. We will be able to solve them someday.”
As he spoke, he gently massaged Gu Dai’s head with both hands.
Gu Dai nodded lightly in response, “You’re right. I shouldn’t dwell on these matters. Instead, I should be focusing on how to deal with Father Su tonight.
At the Song Corporation.
Song Ling, seeing the call had been disconnected, wore a dark expression.
Zhou Ci couldn’t help but laugh at seeing Song Ling’s demeanor and said, “You’ve been rejected so many times already. You should have gotten used to it by now.”
Song Ling’s expression turned even uglier as he glared at Zhou Ci and gritted his teeth, “What’s so funny about that?”
Zhou Ci restrained his smile and simply replied, “Oh.”
Taking a deep breath, Song Ling turned to Zhou Ci and asked, “You said you saw Gu Dai wasn’t in the Capital these past few days, and her plane just landed here. So, where has she been?”
Zhou Ci replied in an annoyed tone, “I’m not the type to stalk people. How would I know where she went?”
Song Ling exuded a chilling aura and coldly dismissed Zhou Ci, “I’m busy right now and don’t have time to entertain you. Please leave.”
Zhou Ci, having no desire to stay any longer, left promptly after Song Ling’s words.
After Zhou Ci’s departure, Song Ling took out his phone and called his subordinate, speaking coldly, “I asked you to keep an eye on Gu Dai. Why didn’t you report such a significant matter as her leaving the Capital to me?”
The subordinate’s voice trembled as he answered, “President Song, I wanted to report to you at that time…”
Song Ling scoffed, “I don’t want to hear excuses. I just want to know why you didn’t report to me!”
The subordinate took a deep breath, “President Song, when I tried to report to you, you interrupted me, saying you didn’t want to hear anything about Miss Gu Dai, so you didn’t know about this.”
Song Ling paused, slowly recalling the moment. His heart was filled with anger towards Gu Dai at that time, leading him to say those words, but…
He looked down and coldly said, “I said I didn’t want to hear it, so you just decided not to report?”
