Chapter 380: Shifting the Blame to Gu Dai

Song Ling’s face darkened as he glanced coldly at Jiang Yue, suppressing the annoyance bubbling inside him, and said slightly annoyed, “I’m fine.”

Jiang Yue, eager to demonstrate her tenderness, insisted, “Brother Song Ling, when I get the chance, I will surely take revenge on Gu Dai for you and seek justice!”

She clasped Song Ling’s hand gently, promising, “Brother Song Ling, I will take good care of you in the coming days.”

Listening from the doorway, Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes in disdain.

His earlier words to Gu Dai weren’t entirely lies, just slightly exaggerated. Song Ling had been in a bad state during the first couple of days in the hospital, almost unconscious.

Jiang Yue had been persistently inquiring about Song Ling’s condition from him and only came to visit after learning of his recovery.

Zhao Xuan grew increasingly wary of Jiang Yue’s scheming nature.

Jiang Yue, leaning closer to Song Ling, softly began, “Brother Song Ling…”

She was abruptly pushed to the ground by Song Ling, letting out a startled scream. Regaining her composure, she looked at him incredulously and asked, “Brother Song Ling, why did you push me?”

Song Ling pursed his lips, withdrawing his hand, and after a few seconds, spoke flatly, “Sorry, I’m not comfortable with people being so close to me. If you’re alright, please leave. I don’t need your care.”

Jiang Yue’s face stiffened slightly, taken aback by Song Ling’s blunt dismissal.

Zhao Xuan stepped forward, offering, “Miss Jiang Yue, let me escort you out.”

Reluctant to leave yet fearful of further angering Song Ling, Jiang Yue followed Zhao Xuan out, but not before coldly instructing, “Forget what just happened. You’re not allowed to tell anyone.”

Zhao Xuan was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized she was referring to the embarrassment of being rejected by Song Ling.

Though he disliked Jiang Yue, he wouldn’t jeopardize his job by divulging this incident, especially when it concerned his direct boss.

“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang Yue, I won’t speak of this,” Zhao Xuan assured her emotionlessly.

Assured Zhao Xuan wasn’t lying, Jiang Yue finally left with some peace of mind.

Returning to the hospital room, Zhao Xuan saw the handprint on Song Ling’s face and felt the icy aura emanating from him. He dared not utter a word.

He was curious, though, about why Gu Dai had slapped Song Ling.

At Gu Group.

Zheng Ming hadn’t expected Gu Dai to return to the office later than him.

Seeing the questioning look in Zheng Ming’s eyes, Gu Dai said simply, “Ran into some trouble.”

“Chairwoman Gu, do you need me to take care of anything?” Zheng Ming asked eagerly.

Gu Dai, sitting in her office chair, recalled the scene where Song Ling, after being rejected, tried to force himself on her, only to be slapped in return. She replied calmly, “It’s been dealt with.”

Relieved, Zheng Ming relaxed and said, “That’s good.”

Gu Dai glanced at the thick file in Zheng Ming’s hand and inquired, “Did you need something?”

“Oh, right,” Zheng Ming remembered his main purpose. “Chairwoman Gu, these are the invitations from our partners for Fu Nan in recent days.”

Gu Dai nodded, signaling Zheng Ming to place them on her desk. “I’ll look at them later.”

Zheng Ming left the documents and exited the office.

Jiang Yue, still seething from being thrown out of Song Ling’s hospital room, was about to vent her anger when her phone rang.

Answering the call irritably, she said, “I’m really annoyed right now, don’t bother me if it’s nothing important!”

Song Yu, taken aback and then angered, retorted, “Jiang Yue, you’ve got some nerve talking to me like that. You ditched me after the banquet the other day, and you haven’t been around since. I’m starting to doubt your sincerity. In that case, our previous agreement is null and void!”

Jiang Yue, furious but feigning a smile, soothed, “I’m sorry, Yuyu, I didn’t realize it was you. I’ve just been too busy these last few days to see you.”

Song Yu snorted disdainfully, “You’re just making excuses to deceive me. Our cooperation is over!”

Panicked, Jiang Yue quickly thought of a lie, “I thought it was Gu Dai calling, that’s why I was impatient.”

“Gu Dai?” Song Yu questioned.

“Yes!” Jiang Yue affirmed.

“So, these past few days, you were being bothered by Gu Dai?” Song Yu guessed..
