Chapter 374: Song Yu and Jiang Yue Work Together
Translator: _Min_ |
Jiang Yue watched Song Ling’s retreating figure, not believing his words. She still thought Song Ling was going to find Gu Dai.
Grinding her teeth in frustration, Jiang Yue’s irritation grew as she thought more about it. Unable to stay in the hospital, she soon went through the discharge procedures.
She had bribed the doctors at this hospital to tell Song Ling her injuries were severe when they were only superficial.
Jiang Yue didn’t expect to be stopped by Song Yu as soon as she left the hospital.
Song Yu stood with her arms crossed, her gaze fierce as she stared at Jiang Yue, her voice cold. “I knew it! You shameless thing, deceiving my brother!”
Jiang Yue’s expression flickered, her eyes darting around the passing crowd, panic filling her heart.
She lowered her stance, pleading, “Miss Song Yu, can we talk about this somewhere else? Let’s not do this in front of so many people.”
Song Yu scoffed, her voice laced with scorn. “When you framed me, did you think about being humiliated like this? How dare you prevent me from telling my brother the truth, and even got me scolded by him? You think I would let you off?”
Angered, Song Yu raised her hand to strike Jiang Yue.
Recalling the pain from the previous beating, Jiang Yue quickly grabbed Song Yu’s hand, seizing the moment to speak, “Don’t forget, this matter isn’t just about me; it involves your Song family too.”
Song Yu paused, confusion in her eyes. “What does this have to do with my family?”
Jiang Yue suggested, “Let’s find a quiet place, and I’ll tell you.”
Song Yu stared at Jiang Yue for a few minutes, finally deciding she was harmless, and took her to a quiet cafe. Once they were in a private booth, Song Yu demanded, “Now, tell me what you want to say.”
Jiang Yue, watching Song Yu sip her coffee alone, a dark glint passed through her eyes. She vowed to humiliate Song Yu like this when she married Song Ling and became her sister-in-law.
Suppressing her anger, Jiang Yue spoke softly, “I did deceive you, but I had no choice. I…”
Song Yu interrupted with a cold laugh.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and continued, “I think we can actually work together.”
Song Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You think you’re worthy of working with me?”
Jiang Yue bit her lip, lowering her head, “If you keep me away from Song Ling, you’re just allowing Gu Dai to get closer to him. Do you really want to see Gu Dai and Song Ling together again?”
Of course, Song Yu didn’t want that. She disliked Jiang Yue, but even more so, she despised Gu Dai. Compared to Jiang Yue, she hated Gu Dai even more.
Gu Dai was too powerful for her to handle now.
Most importantly, Song Yu noticed Song Ling seemed particularly concerned about Gu Dai lately. If they got back together, her life would become difficult.
Jiang Yue glanced at Song Yu, speaking calmly, “You should understand who poses a bigger threat to you.”
Song Yu nodded, then coldly retorted, “Who gave you the right to speak to me like this?”
Jiang Yue quickly softened her voice, “Think about it. Even though I’m close to Song Ling, you have evidence against me. I can’t do anything to you, but Gu Dai is different. And your grandpa likes her, if she says something, you…”
Jiang Yue didn’t finish, but it was enough for Song Yu to imagine the rest.
Song Yu looked at Jiang Yue, admitting internally that although Jiang Yue wasn’t a good person, her words made sense. If Gu Dai and Song Ling really got back together, Grandpa would definitely support Gu Dai.
Song Yu huffed, “I can keep your secret this time and let you off, but you have to show your sincerity.”
Jiang Yue sighed in relief, quickly agreeing, “Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you. Whatever happens, I’ll stand by your side because we have a common enemy.”
The next morning, at the entrance of the Gu residence.
A flashy, branded car stopped at the door.
Song Ling got out of the car, took Zhen Chan’s things and placed them in the trunk.
Zhen Chan told Gu Dai, “Go back and rest a bit more, Gu Dai. You have to go to work later; you can’t be tired.”
Gu Dai nodded obediently.
Zhen Chan glanced at Su Ting standing next to Gu Dai, her gaze wary of Song Ling, and chuckled softly to herself, her heart noting how obvious the boy’s affections were.
Song Ling, avoiding eye contact with Gu Dai, said to Zhen Chan, “Let’s go..”
