Chapter 155: Give Up Purchasing


Translator: _Min_


Jiang Yue had actually woken up much earlier but kept her eyes closed, curious to see what Song Ling would do. She hadn’t expected that he would show her no concern and even intend to leave.


Having no other choice, she opened her eyes and spoke, trying to retain Song Ling. However, he left anyway.


Jiang Yue sighed deeply and picked up her phone to call Jiang Lin. Sobbing, she said, “Aunt, 1 asked Song Ling to stay with me, but he didn’t agree and left. His att.i.tude towards me has changed so much; it’s completely different from before. Does he not like me anymore? Can I still marry him and become the lady of the Song family?”


Jiang Lin responded flatly, “Of course.”


Stunned, Jiang Yue asked, “Really?”


Jiang Lin affirmed, “Everything is going as I’ve envisioned. Pictures of you and Song Ling embracing have already been released by the media, and many people online believe it. Whether or not he stays doesn’t matter.


You have nothing to worry about; just wait patiently, and you’ll surely become Mrs. Song.”


Rea.s.sured by Jiang Lin’s promise, Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.


She couldn’t help but fantasize about how many people would envy her once she became Mrs. Song.


And the first thing she’d do after that would be to deal with Gu Dai. It was all Gu Dai’s fault for spoiling her plans; otherwise, she would’ve already married Song Ling!


However, thinking about Song Ling’s recent change in att.i.tude toward her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Ever since he saw the video, Brother Song Ling’s att.i.tude towards me isn’t as good as before. Will this affect my plans to marry him?”


“No,” Jiang Lin chuckled coldly, “Song Ling used to like you so much, how could he just stop liking you? Based on my understanding of men, he’s just too proud to admit it for now. Once the situation blows over, he’ll definitely like you again.”


At that moment, Jiang Yue felt entirely relieved. However, the thought of Gu Dai still left a lingering bitterness in her heart. She wished she could beat her up right now.


Unaware of Jiang Yue’s thoughts, Gu Dai wouldn’t have cared even if she knew. After all, she felt especially good at the moment, looking at Gu Zhi who was standing in front of her.


The fantasies in Jiang Yue’s mind could only exist in her imagination and had no impact on her.


Heeding the previous advice from Gu Ming, Gu Zhi suppressed her irritation, keeping her eyes obediently lowered. She asked, “Is there anything I need to do?”


Gu Dai rested her chin on her hand and smiled, “I’ve been working all day and I’m a bit tired. I’d like to soak my feet. Could you prepare some water for me?”


Gu Zhi furrowed her brow in disbelief, “You want me to bring water for you?”


Gu Dai nodded, then countered, “Didn’t you know that’s what you signed up for?”


Of course, Gu Zhi knew, but imagining it and facing the reality were two different things.


Gu Dai then said, “If you’re not willing, you can go back home now.”


A glimmer of joy appeared on Gu Zhi’s face.


Gu Dai leisurely added, “At that time, I’ll arrange for someone to send you to the countryside. If you’re still not willing, I’ll have no choice but to call the police. After all, you’ve taken so many of my things and haven’t returned them; there will be consequences.”


The color drained from Gu Zhi’s face, and she reluctantly said, “1 didn’t say I wasn’t willing.”


Gu Zhi took the bucket and headed to the bathroom.


Meng Zhi, who had seen this exchange, asked in amazement, “Daidai, you’re amazing. How did you manage to make her so obedient?”


Gu Dai briefly recounted the morning’s events to Meng Zhi.


Meng Zhi became exceedingly angry when he heard the story and pulled out his phone.


Confused, Gu Dai asked, “Third Brother, what are you doing?”


Fingers rapidly swiping on his phone, Meng Zhi exclaimed, “Gu Zhi dared to take your things from three years ago; 1’11 just buy more for you now and let her watch. That’ll kill her!”


Gu Dai sighed in exasperation, “Third Brother, you’re so childish. Stop buying things for me; you’ve already bought so much!”


Meng Zhi flatly refused, “No, I must buy them!”


In the end, Meng Zhi didn’t make the purchases, as Gu Dai told him that if he insisted on buying, she would be angry and ignore him.


Meng Zhi had no choice but to abandon his plan, although deep inside, he was still plotting ways to gift things to Gu Dai in the future.


Gu Zhi, unable to hear clearly what Gu Dai and Meng Zhi were discussing, could nevertheless hear their laughter and chatter. Her eyes grew increasingly darker, consumed by a jealousy that bordered on madness.


Watching the steaming hot water fill the footbath bucket, a wicked idea suddenly flashed across her mind. Once the bucket was full, a smile crept onto her face. She carefully carried the bucket over to Gu Dai..
