Chapter 178 - 178: A Cart Charging Towards Gu Dai
Song Yu stared blankly at her empty hands for a moment before finally comprehending what Zhou Ci had said. She looked up, agitated, pointing at Gu Dai. “But hasn’t she done all sorts of things over the past three years?”
Zhou Ci didn’t understand why Gu Dai had once so humbly followed Song Ling. Could love really blind people to that extent?
Nevertheless, he spoke seriously, “People change. You can’t judge someone based on past behaviors.”
Song Yu sneered, as she looked at both Song Ling and Zhou Ci, “Change? Oh, people do change. But it’s not Gu Dai who’s changed; it’s all of you! Now it’s like she’s bewitched you all, and you’re speaking up for her!”
Unsatisfied, Song Yu continued, “Gu Dai is just a seductive, despicable bit*h. Who knows where she learned these lowly tricks!”
Song Ling raised his hand and slapped Song Yu twice more. His gaze was intimidating, his voice as cold as shards of ice, “Are these the words of a young lady from a prestigious family? What happened to all the manners you were taught?”
Zhou Ci also spoke in a cold voice, “Song Yu, you’re nothing like the person I thought you were. I’m very disappointed in you.”
Song Yu felt the stinging pain on her face and heard Zhou Ci’s thunderbolt-like words. Her heart was filled with hatred.
She looked up at Gu Dai.
Even though Gu Dai’s face remained expressionless, Song Yu felt that she must be enjoying her downfall and humiliation.
In a hoarse voice, Song Yu yelled at Gu Dai, “Are you satisfied now, seeing me like this?”
Gu Dai was completely bewildered. She didn’t understand what there was for her to be satisfied about, given that she had done nothing.
Gu Dai wanted to grab Song Yu and get some clarity, but Song Yu dashed past her.
However, in her haste, Song Yu collided with a waiter pushing a cart full of wine bottles.
The waiter lost his balance and fell to the ground. Before he hit the floor, inertia caused him to push the cart forward, sending it careening uncontrollably towards Gu Dai.
Since Gu Dai had her back turned, she didn’t see the cart coming.
Both Song Ling and Zhou Ci’s faces changed instantly upon seeing the impending danger. They yelled in unison, “Watch out! Move!”
Gu Dai sensed something was wrong, but the cart was moving too fast, and she was wearing high heels, making it impossible for her to get out of its path.
Glancing back at the crowd, which even included children, Gu Dai mustered all her strength to charge forward and put her hands on the cart.
She had braced herself for injury, but to her surprise, the cart wasn’t as heavy as she’d imagined. With seemingly little effort, it came to a stop.
Confused, Gu Dai looked up and realized that both Su Ting and Zhou Ci had joined her in holding the cart back.
Relieved to see that Gu Dai was unharmed, Su Ting and Zhou Ci let out sighs of relief.
The cart had indeed been heavy; even Zhou Ci felt he was about to lose his grip. He quickly turned to Song Ling, “What are you doing just standing there, Song Ling? Come and help!”
With a grave nod, Song Ling approached and secured the cart in place.
Su Ting examined Gu Dai one more time to ensure she was unscathed before finally letting his guard down. He pulled her into an embrace, his voice choked with emotion, “I’m so glad you’re alright.”
After saying this, it suddenly occurred to him that while Gu Dai appeared uninjured externally, there might be internal damage. He quickly asked in a frantic tone, “Is there any part of you that doesn’t feel right? We should go to the hospital for a full-body check-up just to be safe!”
Patting Su Ting on the back, Gu Dai reassured him, “Don’t worry. You and Zhou Ci got there just in time. The cart didn’t even touch me, so I feel absolutely fine. Not even a scratch..”
