Upon seeing Gu Dai’s state, sympathy flooded the hearts of those around. Suddenly, the realization hit them, as they exchanged words with the people around them?

“Did we just get played?”

“So this woman moves into someone’s house, gets kicked out and plays the victim? She’s guilt-tripping this poor girl. Am 1 getting it wrong?”

“No, you’re right! This girl is too nice for her own good. Despite how they’ve treated her, she still helped them out. If it were me, 1 wouldn’t give them a second glance, much less pay their medical bills!”

Word after word reached Gu Dai, each comment making her smile grow wider and her steps lighter.

Meanwhile, Liu Min’s face was as long as a rainy day. She had hoped Gu Dai would be berated for being unfilial, but instead found herself the target of everyone’s scorn. To avoid further embarrassment, she slipped away to Gu Ming’s ward.

Waking up late the next morning, Gu Dai was in a foul mood. She wouldn’t have overslept if Gu Ming hadn’t chosen to act at night, which made her late for work!

To top it off, upon arriving at the office, she saw Song Ling.

He looked her up and down and said coldly, with a frown, “You said you didn’t like me yesterday, and you’re following me here today.”

Confused, Gu Dai shot back, as she thought he might be hallucinating, “Mr. Song, you’re still half asleep if you think I’m following you.”

He smirked and retorted, “Am 1 half asleep, or are you just playing hard to get? Look, Gu Dai, for the last time, it’s never going to happen. And about the rumors you’ve been spreading about me, I’ll let them go for now…”

Just as he was about to say more, Gu Dai interrupted, “I’m here to work at Gu Group, what’s your excuse for being here?”

Song Ling thought Gu Dai was lying, he raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Last time 1 checked, Gu Group required a bachelor’s degree even for the front desk job. How did you, as someone who was born into the slums, without a proper degree, of all people, land a job here?”

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned more icy as he added, “Oh, 1 remember. Su Ting just partnered with Gu Group, didn’t he? He got you this job, didn’t he?”

“You’re nuts!” Gu Dai muttered as she turned to leave. She wanted nothing to do with him.

As she entered the elevator, Song Ling and Zhao Xuan stepped in with her.

Taken aback, she asked, “What are you doing here?”

As Song Ling was silent, Zhao Xuan stepped in nervously, “Mr. Song has a meeting about a partnership with Chairwoman Gu.”

“Discussing a partnership?” Gu Dai carefully reviewed her schedule in her mind, certain that there was nothing involving the Song Corporation, “How come I’m not aware that I… our Chairwoman Gu is supposed to discuss a partnership with the Song Corporation? After all, I’m her secretary, I’m the one who arranges her schedule!”

Song Ling responded indifferently, “That just proves that you’re merely imagining that you’ve been favored.”

Gu Dai looked at Song Ling, her eyes blazing with anger. She responded coldly, “Our Chairwoman would never agree to see you. After all, the kind of person she dislikes the most in her life is playboys like you!”

Song Ling snorted, “You, a little secretary, seem to think too highly of yourself. How could business matters be influenced by personal feelings!”

Zhao Xuan, glancing back and forth, quickly stepped in to mediate, “Seer… Secretary Gu, we did make an appointment with Chairwoman Gu a while back. Perhaps you hadn’t joined the company at that time, so you’re not too clear on this matter.”

Gu Dai still firmly denied it, “Impossible. Chairwoman Gu would never agree to discuss a partnership with the Song Corporation!”

After a moment’s thought, Zhao Xuan softly suggested, “How about Secretary Gu, you call Chairwoman Gu, and we can confirm with her directly?”
