Gu Dai approached Xu Huan with a gentle voice, asking, “Grandma, what would you like to eat?”

Xu Huan smiled and responded, “Daidai, go have your meal. Don’t worry about me; I have someone to take care of me here.”

Following Xu Huan’s words, the servant by her side quickly added, “I will take good care of her. Miss, you need not worry.”

Gu Dai, always confident in the abilities of the household servants, nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright.”

Although everyone was dining, when businesspeople gather, discussions of collaboration inevitably arise. Thus, within minutes, they formed small groups to talk about potential partnerships.

Song Ling watched Gu Dai and Su Ting sitting together, laughing and chatting, and felt a surge of irritation. Tugging at his tie in annoyance, he drank the alcohol offered to him by those around him.

“President Song, our company has great potential for growth. Could you spare some time to hear our ideas?” someone proposed.

Song Ling was about to decline but then thought if he could showcase his work ethic in such a setting, it might change the Grandma Gu’s opinion of him and possibly help in pairing him with Gu Dai.

Realizing this, he nodded and said, “Speak.”

The man, who had initially met Song Ling’s frown with regret, was surprised at his agreement and quickly began to describe his company’s latest project, attracting the attention of others as well.

Xu Huan, drawn by the voices, turned to see Song Ling, surrounded by people discussing business, and instinctively looked towards Su Ting.

At that moment, Su Ting was attentively peeling shrimp for Gu Dai, occasionally sharing amusing stories to make her smile.

Seeing this, Xu Huan felt even more satisfied with Su Ting.

As a marriage partner, it was important to find someone who cared for Daidai and could take care of her, unlike those preoccupied with work and always ready to discuss collaborations, who might neglect their family.

Unaware that Xu Huan had already dismissed him from the list of potential suitors for Gu Dai, Song Ling, noticing her glance, mistakenly thought his approach was effective and immersed himself further in his work, drinking glass after glass.

Sheng Xin, sitting beside Song Ling, softly suggested, “Song Ling, drink less, or you might end up with a headache.”

Song Ling ignored Sheng Xin.

Others, noticing Sheng Xin’s interaction with Song Ling, speculated about a potential marriage between the two, thinking it wise to collaborate with the Sheng family while they still had the chance, hoping to benefit from their future success.

Sheng Xin, feeling the intense gaze of those around her, smiled more warmly, looking at Song Ling with even softer eyes.

Xu Huan beckoned Gu Dai over.

Gu Dai quickly approached, asking, “What is it, Grandma?”

Xu Huan whispered, “Daidai, this Song Ling knows only to discuss business, and he always has a woman by his side.”

Confused by Xu Huan’s sudden mention of this, Gu Dai looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Xu Huan said, “You must never get involved with such a person, or I will disown you as my granddaughter!”

Gu Dai promptly responded, “Grandma, I will never give you a reason to disown me.”

Hearing this, Xu Huan felt relieved, knowing that Gu Dai had never broken a promise before.

By the end of the banquet, Song Ling was visibly intoxicated, his vision blurry. Still, he tried to look in Gu Dai’s direction, murmuring, “Gu, Gu Dai…”

He attempted to walk towards Gu Dai, but his legs failed him, and he slumped back into his seat.

The man closest to Song Ling commented, “Song Ling just called out a name, it sounded like…”

Sheng Xin quickly interjected, “He called for me.”

Shaking her head in resignation, she explained, “That’s just how Song Ling is.

He always calls my name when he’s drunk.”

The man began to object, “But President Song, he…” clearly referring to Gu Dai. However, a cold glance from Sheng Xin made him abruptly stop speaking. Sheng Xin smiled, “It’s getting late. I’ll take Song Ling home. By the way, if anyone wishes to discuss collaboration, feel free to contact the Sheng family.” The crowd hastily agreed, “Of course, of course..”
