Chapter 127 - 127: How dare you
After saying this, Song An quickly found an answer himself, “It must be that Daidai is extraordinarily talented, easily rivaling those professional racers with just a bit of practice.”
Gu Dai couldn’t help but chuckle, “Grandpa, you’re exaggerating. I’ve just been through some events recently.”
“What happened? Daidai, I’ve been arranging for people to find you for some time, but we’ve had no news of you. Where have you been? Are you okay?” Song An asked, with urgency in his tone.
Caught off guard by Song An’s litany of concerned questions, Gu Dai hesitated for a moment, unsure where to start. She looked at the buildings passing by and said, “Grandpa, we’re almost home. Can 1 explain everything to you once we’re there?”
Although bursting with curiosity, Song An nodded, “Alright.”
Gu Dai supported Song An as they walked into the house.
Though the mansion remained unchanged, stepping inside filled Gu Dai with a mix of nostalgia and unfamiliarity.
Song An noticed her distant look but chose not to disturb her, quietly standing by her side until a servant announced that Song Ling had arrived.
Song Ling strode up to Song An, asking with concern, “Grandpa are you alright?”
Irritated, Song An glared at him, “What are you talking about? I’m perfectly safe with Daidai. Why would anything happen? And who let you in? Just looking at you annoys me. Go stand by the door!”
A bit hurt, Song Ling moved to the door as his grandfather was clearly not in the mood to deal with him.
Knowing that Song An was trying to vent on her behalf, Gu Dai interjected, “Grandpa, what’s past is past. There’s no need for this.”
Song An was often willing to listen to Gu Dai, but on this point, he was resolute, “No! The pain he’s caused can’t just be brushed away. This brat must make it right! Also, Daidai, you still haven’t told me what you’ve been up to recently.”
“I’ve been busy with work,” Gu Dai responded.
“Work?” Song An paused, then broke into a smile, “That’s wonderful! Be an independent woman of the new era! If you encounter any problems at work, you can always come to me. Although I no longer manage the company, my old connections are still there. I’m not sure if they’ll be of any help, though.”
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Gu Dai replied.
Even though she expressed gratitude, Gu Dai had no intention of seeking Song An’s help. She didn’t want to disturb his peaceful life over trivial work matters.
Song An was initially concerned that she might decline his offer, but he felt relieved when she agreed.
After Gu Dai agreed, a radiant smile bloomed on Song An’s face. He then proceeded to ask, “Daidai, where have you been staying recently? And what accounts for such a significant change in you?”
Gu Dai was about to speak when her words were drowned out by Song Yu’s surprised voice, “Brother, why are you standing at the doorway? Why aren’t you coming in?”
Before Song Ling could answer, Song Yu rushed into the mansion and said, “Grandfather, 1 saw my brother at the entrance, but he—Gu Dai, what are you doing here?” Song Yu’s eyebrows furrowed upon seeing Gu Dai.
Following closely behind Song Yu, Wang Lan entered and queried upon hearing her daughter’s words, “After bringing the old man home, why haven’t you left? Are you planning on sticking around?”
Furious, Song An grabbed the teapot from the table and hurled it onto the floor, shouting, “How dare you! I’m still sitting here, and you dare to treat Daidai like this? It shows just how audacious you’ve become when I’m not around!”
The loud crash of the teapot startled Wang Lan and Song Yu, who were now too afraid to utter another word.
Witnessing this, Gu Dai quickly poured a cup of water for Song An, saying, “Grandpa getting angry is bad for your health. Please, have some water to calm down.”
Taking the cup from Gu Dai’s hand, Song An gulped down several sips before his mood finally settled. “Since everyone is here, go call Song Ling in as well. I have something to say.”
After giving the instruction, Song An turned his gaze back to Gu Dai, asking, “Daidai, what were you about to say?”
Gu Dai softly replied, “I was about to say that I’ve found my family..”
