Wang Lan trembled with anger, her voice shaking as she demanded, “What do you mean by that?”
Song Ling replied coldly, “Exactly what you’re thinking. I prefer peace and quiet, and I just want to heal in tranquility. I hope you won’t bring any more troublesome people to see me. I want to sleep now, please leave.”
Confronted with Song Ling’s firm eviction, Wang Lan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I am your mother, and you’re kicking me out? You…”
Song Ling signaled Zhao Xuan with a glance.
Zhao Xuan quickly stepped forward, “President Song is tired. I’ll escort you out.”
Though Wang Lan and Sheng Xin outnumbered Zhao Xuan, they couldn’t overpower a burly man. Eventually, they found themselves shut outside the door.
Wang Lan, kicking the door in frustration, yelled, “You ungrateful child, I am your mother! How can you treat me like this!”
Sheng Xin, maintaining a calm demeanor, gently comforted, “Auntie, don’t be upset. He might be behaving like this because he’s unwell.”
Wang Lan, seeing Sheng Xin speak up for Song Ling, grew even more fond of her. Taking her hand, she patted it twice, “I understand. I’ll talk to him more in the future, make him realize your worth, and hopefully bring you two together soon. But his behavior today, kicking you out, is truly unacceptable.”
Sheng Xin’s eyes flickered with a hidden intent, but outwardly she remained obedient, “It’s okay. I understand.”
Wang Lan, needing to take care of Song Yu, hurriedly left.
Sheng Xin glanced back at Song Ling’s hospital room door, her expression resolute.
Being pampered by her parents and indulged by friends since childhood, she always got what she wanted. She believed Song Ling would be no exception; she was determined to win him over.
After signing the contract with Su Ci, Gu Dai’s collaboration on the eye care contact lenses rapidly progressed.
Watching Fu Nan, radiant during the advertisement shoot, she nodded in satisfaction and praised Su Ting, “Thanks to your guidance these past days, Fu Nan has improved so quickly.”
Su Ting shook his head modestly, “It’s not all my doing. Fu Nan’s innate charisma is remarkable. With just a little guidance, he shines brilliantly on stage.”
Gu Dai acknowledged, “Fu Nan is indeed naturally talented and a diligent learner. But your teachings have been invaluable. I know you’ve been coaching him until the early hours.”
Su Ting bashfully lowered his head.
Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction.
Su Ci arrived just then, apologizing, “I was held up with some urgent matters. Sorry for being late.”
Gu Dai waved it off, “No problem. Come, see how Fu Nan is doing.”
Su Ci, observing Fu Nan’s performance, nodded approvingly, “He’s doing great. He’s well-suited for this industry.”
Gu Dai agreed, “Indeed, he has a gift.”
Changing the subject, she asked, “Are you free for lunch today? Let’s grab a bite together.”
Su Ci readily agreed, “I’m available.”
Su Ting, witnessing the cozy atmosphere between Gu Dai and Su Ci, felt his eyelashes flutter, a hint of disappointment in his gaze. Just then, he heard Gu Dai say, “Su Ting, come join us.”
His face brightened in surprise, “Can I come too?”
Gu Dai smiled, “Of course. Oh, and we should invite my second and third brothers too.”
Su Ting quickly volunteered, “Let me contact them while you watch Fu Nan’s shoot.”
Su Ci, observing both Su Ting and Gu Dai, spoke softly, “Daidai, your hair’s a bit messy. Let me fix it for you.”
Gu Dai, feeling the touch on her head, was startled and hurriedly said, “No, no,
I can do it myself.”
She was happy to see Su Ci but three years of separation had inevitably created some distance between them.
Su Ci paused, then adjusted his expression, softly replying, “Okay.”
Unbeknownst to them, their exchange was captured by a camera, exciting the staff who gathered to discuss animatedly.
“Who is this man? He’s really handsome, and he looks so well-matched with Chairwoman Gu.”
“Yeah, I bet he’s one of the many smitten by Chairwoman Gu.”
“Agree, it’s very likely.”
After Fu Nan’s shoot, Gu Dai asked, “Will you join us for lunch?”
Fu Nan’s eyes lit up, then dimmed, “I have more schedules to follow, and I need to maintain my diet. Salad is all I can have.”
Gu Dai, not wanting to destroy Fu Nan’s persistence, proposed, “Let’s eat together some other time then..”
