Chapter 154 - 154: Doctor Would Be More Professional
Li Shui’s eyes lit up, and he responded with a smile, “Very well, Mr. Gu.”
He had initially wanted to clarify the situation to Gu Ming, but thinking that any money transferred to his account might be taken back if he did so, he quickly swallowed his words.
After Li Shui left, Liu Min turned to Gu Ming and asked, “You don’t think Gu Dai could really have something going on with Song Ling, do you?”
Gu Ming dismissed the idea, “Impossible! President Song has seen all sorts of women; why would he take an interest in Gu Dai? Besides, doesn’t he already have someone he likes?”
Gu Zhi, who frequently kept up with online news, chimed in, “But Jiang Yue has wronged Song Ling, so maybe the wedding will be called off.”
Gu Ming scoffed, “Even if the wedding is called off, it still wouldn’t be Gu Dai’s turn!”
Gu Ming’s steadfast words made Liu Min and Gu Zhi breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Min proposed, “In that case, since President Song definitely won’t help Gu Dai, let’s take this opportunity to find another covert way to take her out.”
Gu Zhi eagerly agreed, “That bit*h Gu Dai dares to treat me like a servant; we must get rid of her soon!”
Gu Ming furrowed his brows, casting an annoyed look at the mother-daughter duo, “Even without Song Ling’s help, Gu Dai still has the support of the Meng brothers! Otherwise, how could our previous attempts have failed?”
Upon hearing the mention of the Meng brothers, a glint of envy flickered in Gu Zhi’s eyes.
Three years ago, every time she saw Gu Dai, the Meng brothers would be pampering her like a little princess.
She had initially thought that after Gu Dai’s death, the Meng brothers might shift their affection to her, being somewhat related by blood. But they had unexpectedly moved abroad!
And now that Gu Dai was back, they were pampering her once again.
Darkness clouded Gu Zhi’s eyes; she couldn’t bear to see Gu Dai pampered with attention any longer!
Gu Zhi turned to Gu Ming and asked, “Dad, you must have a way to take Gu Dai out, right?”
Gu Ming neither confirmed nor denied. His gaze passed through the window, locking onto the Gu family villa in the distance.
After a long silence, Gu Ming finally spoke in a chilling tone, “The time will come. For kicking me from the company, taking my villa, and humiliating my daughter—Gu Dai will pay for all of it one day!”
At the Capital Hospital.
A pale woman lay on a hospital bed, her eyes closed.
Song Ling glanced at Jiang Yue before turning to the doctor beside him, “Why did she suddenly faint?”
Recognizing the man in front of him as the man in charge of the Song Corporation in the capital, the doctor stammered, “The young lady fainted due to excessive blood loss.”
After a moment’s pause, during which the doctor feared for his job, Song Ling finally spoke.
Song Ling, “Is her life in danger?”
Caught off guard, the doctor shook his head, “No.”
Song Ling nodded and turned to Zhao Xuan, “Stay here and watch over Jiang Yue. Once her family arrives, you can return to the company.”
Puzzled, Zhao Xuan inquired, “What about you, Mr. Song?”
Realizing what he’d just asked, Zhao Xuan wished he could slap himself for daring to probe into Song Ling’s personal affairs.
Fortunately, Song Ling did not seem angry this time. Picking up his jacket from the chair, he said, “I’m going back to the company.”
As Song Ling took steps to leave the room, Jiang Yue coughed lightly and called out weakly, “Brother Song Ling.”
Song Ling halted and turned to look at her.
Coughing lightly again, Jiang Yue spoke feebly, “Brother Song Ling, can 1 talk to you? Can you come over?”
Song Ling lowered his gaze, responding coldly, “If you have something to say, say it from there. I can hear you.”
Jiang Yue’s eyes dimmed as she softly said, “I’m really scared right now. Can you stay and take care of me?”
Song Ling responded, “I think the doctor would be more suitable in that regard. I have a meeting at the company; 1 must go.”
With that, Song Ling strode out of the room, not looking back.
Watching Song Ling’s retreating figure, Jiang Yue could no longer maintain her expression, and her face darkened completely.
Zhao Xuan, noticing the change in Jiang Yue’s demeanor, felt increasingly uneasy. He mustered up the courage to whisper, “Miss… Miss Jiang, if you need anything, you can call me anytime.”
Irritated, Jiang Yue snapped, “I don’t need your help; just go.”
Without hesitation, Zhao Xuan picked up his belongings and hastily left the room, internally relieved that Song Ling hadn’t married this kind of woman.. Otherwise, as an employee, his life would have been miserable!
