Chapter 244: Married Then Divorced
Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai pulled Yang Yi up, shielding her behind herself, and firmly said, “Don’t kneel or apologize. Don’t listen to what these people say.”
Gu Dai remembered Yang Yi from her last visit to Linxian Pavilion, standing not far away, so she recognized her as her employer. Yang Yi was stunned that her boss was now protecting her.
Yang Yi had a thousand words in her heart at this moment.
But w.a.n.g Lan spoke faster than Yang Yi could.
Looking at Gu Dai, w.a.n.g Lan questioned, “What are you doing?”
Gu Dai glanced at w.a.n.g Lan and calmly responded, “I’m helping someone you’re bullying.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s face darkened as she retorted, “This waitress disrespected a customer, don’t 1 have the right to reprimand her?”
Gu Dai gave Yang Yi a rea.s.suring look as she attempted to explain, and spoke in her defense, “I trust her. She wouldn’t do such a thing.”
With a pause, Gu Dai continued, turning to w.a.n.g Lan, “Moreover, I believe you’re being overly sensitive and mistook her smile for mockery.”
w.a.n.g Lan’s eyes widened in anger at Gu Dai, “When you wanted to be with my son, you hid your true ident.i.ty, serving me tea, doing laundry, cooking… Now that you have your eyes on another man, you’ve changed your tune. How disgusting!”
Gu Dai’s expression turned cold, her gaze fixating on w.a.n.g Lan.
She despised people bringing up her three years of memory loss, and w.a.n.g Lan’s reference to it only intensified her cold demeanor.
w.a.n.g Lan, intimidated by Gu Dai’s stare, involuntarily trembled before retorting in a shrill voice, “What? Am I wrong? Weren’t you the one desperate to marry my son?”
Gu Dai corrected firmly, “We’re divorced now.”
Yang Yi hadn’t expected Gu Dai to have been married, especially to someone from a family as difficult as this old lady’s, indicating the extent of bullying she must have endured.
Yang Yi thought it was good that Gu Dai had left such a family, clearly not worthy of her.
w.a.n.g Lan insisted, “Even if you’re divorced, 1 was your mother-in-law for three years. Is this how you treat me now?”
Gu Dai scoffed, “In three years, even a dog would earn my affection. The fact that I feel nothing for you only shows you’re less than a dog!”
w.a.n.g Lan was so furious she almost attacked Gu Dai, but hesitated, recalling past incidents of being hit.
Sheng Xin, who had been watching Gu Dai, felt a twinge of jealousy. She hadn’t expected anyone to be more beautiful than her.
Learning that Gu Dai was Song Ling’s ex-wife left her stunned.
Rumors had painted Song Ling’s ex-wife as unattractive and crude, a complete country b.u.mpkin. Yet here, Gu Dai was beautiful, exuding an air of n.o.bility, contradicting the rumors.
But what did it matter if she was beautiful? Sheng Xin thought Gu Dai might be brainless, and her family background was far inferior to Sheng Xin’s. There was no threat.
Sheng Xin looked down at Gu Dai with disdain and arrogantly said, “I can understand wanting to protect your colleague, but whether there was mockery or not, don’t we all know?”
Gu Dai’s eyes lowered slightly, quickly realizing Sheng Xin mistook her for a waitress. But her priority was to resolve the issue at hand.
Gu Dai a.s.serted, “The restaurant has surveillance. Whether there was mockery or not, we can easily find out.”
Sheng Xin’s eyes flashed with panic but feigned composure, “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to check the surveillance.”
Gu Dai inwardly scoffed, insisting, “Let’s check it, to avoid wrongly accusing anyone.”
w.a.n.g Lan, furious, accused, “Gu Dai, what do you mean? Are you suggesting Xinxin and I would falsely accuse the waitress?”
Confused, Gu Dai inquired, “Xinxin?”
w.a.n.g Lan proudly pulled Sheng Xin closer, introducing, “My future daughter-in-law, Sheng Xin!”
Sheng Xin smiled smugly, casually flipping her hair to reveal a designer necklace on her neck, “Nice to meet you. I’m Sheng Xin, my father is the president of Sheng Media.”
Sheng Xin felt a surge of triumph as Gu Dai’s gaze lingered on her necklace.
Nonchalantly, Sheng Xin mentioned, “I asked a friend to buy this necklace from abroad recently.. I heard it’s the only one in the world!”
