Zhou Ci watched Gu Dai’s retreating figure, then turned to Song Ling, who was fuming. In a low voice, he said to Zhou Le, “Let’s go home.”
Zhou Le quickly nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Song Ling, unable to hide his curiosity, asked Zhou Ci, “Aren’t you angry?”
Zhou Ci paused in his steps, his voice soft yet firm. “Love is about letting go.”
Song Ling scoffed, a hint of mockery in his voice. “Love is about possession. You simply don’t love Gu Dai enough.”
Zhou Ci, with a faint smile, didn’t argue. Instead, he advised, “Whatever love is, if you truly like Gu Dai, it’s time to change your approach.”
Song Ling watched Zhou Ci leave, his gaze lingering long after Zhou Ci had gone. He mused over the words, finding them almost laughable.
How could one possibly stand to see the person they love with someone else?
At the Song Corporation subsidiary, Jiang Yue dealt with her work, her face dark with frustration.
She had joined the subsidiary reluctantly, just to stay close to Song Ling.
Suddenly, a stack of files landed on her desk.
A colleague casually said, “Since you’ve finished your work, help me with mine too.”
Jiang Yue, infuriated, stood up and retorted, “Why should I do your work?”
The office burst into laughter. A few minutes later, one of them said, “You’re new here, and your business skills are lacking. We’re giving you more work to help you improve quickly.”
After these remarks, they left, but Jiang Yue could still hear their whispers.
“Isn’t she the one who married President Song but then cheated on him?” one voice whispered.
“Yeah, I must say she’s got some nerve, betraying President Song like that. And she’s blind to prefer some greasy middle-aged man over such a good man,” another chimed in.
“Tsk, tsk, I really don’t understand her. If I were in her shoes, I’d never do such a thing. And just a few days ago, she framed Miss Gu Dai. How dare she compare herself to Miss Gu?”
“I really admire Miss Gu’s character. She’s so mysterious. I wish I could meet her just once.”
Jiang Yue, seething with rage, silently vowed to herself. Once she regained Song Ling’s affection, she would fire them all.
She was determined to prove herself superior to Gu Dai, to show them that Gu Dai was nothing compared to her!
Frantically, Jiang Yue dialed Jiang Lin’s number and burst into tears, “Auntie, please save me. Ever since I came to the subsidiary, everyone has been bullying me. I can’t take it anymore!”
Yawning, Jiang Lin replied nonchalantly, “Meet me at the restaurant next to your office. I’ll take you away.”
Jiang Yue’s eyes lit up, but she hesitated, “But I’m being watched all the time at the subsidiary. If I try to escape, I’ll be caught and brought back.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to tamper with the surveillance. Just come out,” Jiang Lin a.s.sured.
“Okay!” Jiang Yue quickly agreed.
After hanging up, Jiang Yue pushed the pile of doc.u.ments on her desk to the floor, stomping on them several times to vent her frustration.
At the restaurant, Jiang Yue excitedly stood up when she saw Jiang Lin enter dressed in designer clothes, sungla.s.ses, and a mask. “Auntie!” she exclaimed.
Jiang Lin nodded and sat down opposite her, “Tell me what’s going on.”
Through tears, Jiang Yue said, “Brother Song Ling has changed. He’s completely devoted to Gu Dai now. He doesn’t believe a word I say. Even when I mentioned the debt of grat.i.tude from the past, he showed no mercy!”
Jiang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, impa.s.sive as ever.
Seeing Jiang Lin’s demeanor, Jiang Yue’s hope was ignited, “Auntie, you must have a way, right? Please tell me what to do. Once I win back Song Ling’s heart, I’ll be forever grateful to you!”
Song Yu, who was out with her friends, happened to pa.s.s by a private room and recognized the familiar voices.
She waved her friends off, whispering, “Go ahead and order in the room. I’ll be there soon.”
After her friends left, Song Yu quietly pressed her ear against the door, straining to hear the conversation inside.
Unaware of the eavesdropper outside, Jiang Yue and Jiang Lin continued their discussion..
