Shi Kun also spoke up, saying, “Yes, yes, when you were children, I wanted to arrange a marriage for you two, but I was afraid that you might not like that stinky boy when you grew up, so 1 never mentioned it. However, Grandpa Shi has always hoped that you could become my granddaughter-in-law.”

Even Shi Kuang, who was usually decisive and resolute in the business world, turned his head expectantly to look at Gu Dai after hearing this topic.

Gu Dai, faced with three pairs of expectant eyes, felt somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Shi Nuan quickly stepped in, “Grandpa, mom and dad, you are putting too much pressure on Daidai. Relationships should be something that progresses naturally. Besides, Daidai has just returned and might need to handle some company matters for now.”

Gu Dai nodded slightly in agreement.

Speaking of the company, Shi Kun and the others were reminded of how it had been left in a mess by Gu Ming over the past three years.

Shi Kuang began, “Daidai, if there’s anything you need help with in the company, just come to Uncle Shi. The Shi family will do everything we can to assist you.”

Gu Dai nodded, smiling gratefully, “Thank you, Uncle Shi, I understand.”

Shi Kuang waved a hand dismissively, “We’re family; no need for thanks. It’s something we should do!”

They chatted for quite some time. When most of the guests had arrived, Gu Dai spoke up, “Uncle, aunt, please go and attend to the guests. Nuannuan and 1 will take a walk outside.”

Lin Ye agreed with a smile, also reminding Shi Nuan to take good care of Gu Dai and have fun.

Shi Nuan promptly replied, “Don’t worry, mom, 1 will!”

The arriving guests had already noticed Gu Dai. After all, the Shi family was known for being serious and stern in their circle. Now they were laughing so heartily in front of a young woman; how could they not be curious? They couldn’t help but discuss in hushed tones.

“Do you know who that woman is?”

“I’ve never seen her before, but she must be capable to stand before the Shi family. 1 must admit, she’s quite beautiful.”

“Could she be Shi family’s young master’s girlfriend?”

“I don’t think so. The young master is still abroad, and if he had a girlfriend, he’d surely introduce her to the family. Look, look, President Song is here.”

Song Ling, with a gift in hand, entered the Shi residence with a troubled expression. He hadn’t expected to encounter Gu Dai, whom he really didn’t want to see at the moment.

Song Ling said, “Master Shi.”

Shi Kun nodded, eyeing Song Ling.

He had heard of Song Ling, a young man who had managed to establish the Song family’s foothold in the capital city in a short time. Now that he met him in person, he found he had a certain demeanor to him.

Shi Kun praised, “President Song, you are quite accomplished at your age. 1 believe you are even more accomplished than your father.”

Song Ling bowed slightly and modestly replied, “You flatter me, sir. By the way, the Song family recently acquired a great piece of land. 1 wonder if the Shi family would be interested in developing it together?”

Shi Kun looked at Shi Kuang, then turned to Song Ling, “I’ve been out of the family business for many years. You can discuss company matters with my son.”

Song Ling nodded, and within fifteen minutes, they had signed a contract.

Although Song Ling had accomplished what he came for, he did not plan to leave immediately. Thinking of Gu Dai, whom he had seen at the entrance, he asked, “Sir, how did you come to know Miss Gu’s secretary? She seems to have a close relationship with your daughter as well.”

Shi Kun was momentarily taken aback, but his many years in business allowed him to sense that something was amiss.

Shi Kun laughed, “Oh, you mean Gu Dai? Miss Gu was unable to come, so she sent her instead. As for their closeness, it’s because Nuannuan and Miss Gu are friends. Since Miss Gu couldn’t make it, Nuannuan had to learn about what happened to her from Gu Dai. By the way, why the sudden interest in this matter, President Song?”

Song Ling’s eyes remained fixed on Shi Kun’s face. Seeing no change in his expression, he began to doubt his own suspicions. Is Gu Dai really not Miss Gu?

Song Ling felt a bit frustrated, “Gu Dai and I are old acquaintances. I couldn’t help but want to know more. My apologies, sir, but I must leave now; there’s business to attend to at my company.”

Watching Song Ling’s retreating figure, Shi Kun’s face gradually turned cold.

Lin Ye, who had been standing nearby, asked in confusion, “Dad, why didn’t you tell him Daidai’s real identity?”

Shi Kun responded, “Daidai’s relationship with him doesn’t seem to be great..”
