Chapter 220 - 220: The Person Behind the Scenes

Gu Zhi asked, “Am I right?”

Gu Yin nodded and hesitated before replying, “Right, I guess.”

Pleased with her affirmation, Gu Zhi nodded contentedly and smiled at Gu Yin, “Yinyin, play by yourself in the room for a while.”

Gu Yin responded cheerfully, “Okay!”

As Gu Yin was about to leave, Gu Zhi caught a glimpse of the doll in her hand and called out, “Yinyin, leave your rabbit doll with me; your cousin will take care of it.”

Gu Yin felt a wave of reluctance, but under Gu Zhi’s firm gaze, she had no choice but to hand over the doll.

Once Gu Yin had left, the gentle smile on Gu Zhi’s face vanished completely, leaving only a cold indifference as she looked at the doll with growing disdain and slapped it hard several times.

“A broken rabbit doll, is it better than the one I gave?” Gu Zhi scornfully muttered to herself, neglecting the fact that the one she had gifted was merely a cheap knock-off from a street stall, while Gu Dai’s rabbit doll was worth tens of thousands.

Thinking of how easily Gu Yin had been deceived, believing the poison to be merely sleeping pills after a few words from her, Gu Zhi’s eyes brimmed with malicious satisfaction, whispering, “Children are so gullible. She had suspected poison, yet a few words from me convinced her it was just sleeping pills.”

“When Gu Dai dies, 1 can shift all the blame onto Gu Yin and return to my former life, sleeping in a big villa, buying limited edition clothes, bags, shoes…”

Gu Zhi was smug about her clever plan, unaware that Gu Dai had heard every word.

Gu Dai had long suspected Gu Zhi’s malicious intent, hence the toys she had let Gu Yin pick were all equipped with cameras.

Listening to Gu Zhi’s words, Wu Zhen paced back and forth, furiously exclaiming, “This is outrageous, utterly despicable! To think she’d resort to such evil means against you!”

Gu Dai remained calm and consoled Wu Zhen, advising him not to get angry.

She had only been speculating before, but now that Gu Zhi’s true, ruthless colors were confirmed, it was despicable that she would even exploit a child.

Wu Zhen tried to compose himself and after a moment suggested, “Miss, shall we call the police and have Gu Zhi arrested?”

Gu Dai shook her head, rejecting the idea.

Confused, Wu Zhen asked, “Why not?”

Gu Dai explained, “Although we have the recording, it’s not enough to severely punish Gu Zhi. I prefer to wait and deal with her when she takes action.”

Wu Zhen was still concerned for Gu Dai, but seeing she had a plan, he held his tongue.

Another reason Gu Dai did not want to act against Gu Zhi was that she was waiting for the person backing Gu Zhi to reveal themselves.

At the Song family.

Song Ling spoke to the woman sitting across from him in a cold tone, “I apologize, but this was all arranged by my mother. I have no intention of participating in this matchmaking.”

Sheng Xin maintained her composed demeanor and her face still wore a gentle smile as she softly said, “Coincidentally, I’m also here because of my family’s arrangements.”

Song Ling nodded, “Since that’s the case, let’s end this.”

Sheng Xin shook her head, sharing her thoughts, “I actually think we can engage in a long-term partnership, as our families are constantly urging us, and it’s difficult for us to oppose them as their children.”

Sheng Xin looked at the handsome man before her, her heart racing.

She had met many men abroad and had a few relationships, but none compared to Song Ling.

Without waiting for an answer, Song Ling stated, “I have been married before. Does that bother you?”

Sheng Xin smiled, “Why should it? 1 was aware before I came.”

With a pursed-lip smile, Sheng Xin added, “I know your ex-wife was crude and didn’t understand the intricacies of high society. Due to her background, you couldn’t take her to social events, which must have been a great embarrassment for you during your marriage.”

Listening to Sheng Xin belittle Gu Dai, Song Ling’s brows furrowed slightly, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Unaware of the shift in Song Ling’s mood, Sheng Xin continued to mentally compose praises for herself..
