Chapter 87 - 87:1 miss you guys
Moreover, last night, Lin Sheng received a phone call from the third young master of the Meng family, Meng Zhi. The voice on the other end was earnest and full of instructions, imploring Lin Sheng to take good care of Gu Dai today and ensure that nothing went wrong.
Gu Dai, seeing Lin Sheng’s insistence, decided not to persuade him further.
Though she had spent the night without sleep, her face revealing signs of fatigue, upon laying eyes on the photos of her parents on the tombstone, she felt an unprecedented clarity. Her eyes, red, were fixed on the scene before her.
The black and white photos, worn and washed by rain, still radiated the memory of her parents. Her father, a picture of gentle refinement; her mother, serene and elegant. It made people feel a profound sense of time’s gentle passage.
Images of times spent with her parents flashed through Gu Dai’s mind, and she knelt on the ground, head bowed, tears slowly escaping her reddened eyes.
With a choked sob, Gu Dai whispered, “Daddy, Mommy, I’ve come to see you…”
Lin Sheng, witnessing Gu Dai’s appearance, felt his own eyes reddening, and he turned his head away, unable to bear the sight.
What kind and wonderful people her parents had been, once a blissful family. Now they were separated by the barrier of death, leaving their daughter to bear this sorrow alone.
Gu Dai’s gaze drifted into the void, as if she saw her parents arm in arm, smiling at her with doting affection.
“You don’t have to worry about me; I’ll take care of myself.”
“I will seek justice for you. I am already investigating the incidents from back then. Once the evidence comes to light, I won’t let those who harmed you go unpunished. I will make them pay!”
“Daddy, Mommy, I miss you…”
Gu Dai believed that the cruise explosion, her younger uncle’s delayed medical treatment, and her parents’ sudden car accident during the explosion were all related to Gu Ming. By investigating him, she would find conclusive evidence to send him to hell.
Determination and hatred where mixed in Gu Dai’s slightly lowered eyes.
Wang Lan had been shopping when she suddenly received a message that Gu Dai had left the house, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
Images filled Wang Lan’s mind, and she couldn’t believe that Gu Dai would stoop so low for money, even accepting the company of a middle-aged man.
She felt disgraced just thinking that she once had such a daughter-in-law.
At first, the old patriarch seemed as if he had been bewitched, he preferred Gu Dai while expressing his distaste for Wang Lan. Now, Wang Lan intended to capture evidence of Gu Dai’s immoral and throw it in Song An’s face, to make him realize the flaws in his judgment!
Spotting Gu Dai, Wang Lan shouted, “Gu Dai, you shameless woman, sneaking here to the cemetery for a secret meeting!”
Wang Lan had initially thought that Gu Dai would take the middle-aged man to a hotel, never expecting to find them in the cemetery.
Gu Dai’s brows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t want to cause a scene in front of her parents’ tombstone. She replied calmly, “I don’t want to argue with you today. Please leave.”
But Wang Lan didn’t leave and continued her offense, “I thought you had some shame left. I never expected your skin to be so thick.”
Seeing that Gu Dai was ignoring her, Wang Lan turned to Lin Sheng, pointing at Gu Dai, “Do you know that this Gu Dai already has a boyfriend? I didn’t think so, but I can tell you, there are several more men around her, and you’re just one of the fish in her pond. As an executive in the Gu family, are you willing to be played by this wretched woman?”
Wang Lan sneered, “By the way, did you bring Gu Dai to see your parents? If they knew you liked a woman like this, they’d never rest in peace!”
Lin Sheng never expected someone to be so disrespectful and cause a disturbance on such an important day, especially spouting nonsensical, insulting words. His face turned dark, and he stepped forward, intending to drive Wang Lan away.
Wang Lan, seeing Lin Sheng approaching menacingly, felt a sudden panic. She hadn’t expected him to confront her rather than Gu Dai.
Screeching in fear, she yelled, “If you dare touch me, I’ll scream for help!”
Lin Sheng, having dealt with many upper-class individuals in his work, had never encountered someone as brazen as Wang Lan. Normally gentle and refined, he now clenched his fists, glaring at her with eyes filled with rage.
Behind them, Gu Dai’s voice stopped Lin Sheng, “Uncle Lin, don’t lay a hand on her..”
