Gu Dai furrowed her brow in confusion, pondering for a moment before shaking her head. “Nothing really happened,” she answered earnestly.

Seeing Gu Dai’s response, Meng Zhi felt a deep pang of sadness.

Noting his expression, Gu Dai became even more confused. “Third Brother, what’s wrong?”

Meng Zhi’s frustration bubbled up. “Daidai, you don’t need to hide things from me. I’ve heard about what happened! Song Ling’s sister, Song Yu, pushed a waiter into you, potentially injuring you. And despite knowing what happened, Song Ling even defended her actions!”

Only then did Gu Dai realize what Meng Zhi was talking about. “Third Brother, it really didn’t affect me much. After all, Song Ling apologized later.”

Meng Zhi replied quickly, “He only apologized because you had evidence from the surveillance footage. If not for that, do you think he would have?”

As Meng Zhi spoke, he suddenly realized something troubling. His gaze fixed on Gu Dai, concerned. “Daidai, why are you defending Song Ling? Could it be that you…”

Gu Dai, sensing his suspicion, quickly interjected, “1 don’t have feelings for Song Ling!”

Meng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief but still looked puzzled. “Then why defend him?”

She smiled gently, “I’m not defending him. I just didn’t dwell on the incident. If you hadn’t brought it up, 1 might have even forgotten about it.”

Reflecting on her words, Meng Zhi realized she was right.

However, just because Gu Dai was willing to overlook it didn’t mean he would. Every time he thought of Song Ling’s actions, he wanted to go teach him a lesson.

Deciding on his next course of action, Meng Zhi looked at Gu Dai and said, “Daidai, I feel a bit tired. I’ll head to my room to rest.”

Gu Dai nodded, “Alright.”

With her acknowledgment, Meng Zhi hastily retreated.

Watching Meng Zhi’s retreating figure, Gu Dai tilted her head in confusion. He seemed quite awake and alert, not at all like someone needing rest.

Indeed, Meng Zhi wasn’t heading off to rest. As soon as he reached his room, he began planning how to deal with Song Ling.

Gu Dai tried to imagine what Meng Zhi might be up to but eventually decided not to dwell on it. After all, her third brother was a sensible adult, and it wasn’t her place to keep tabs on him.

Turning to Wu Zhen nearby, she asked, “Uncle Wu, has Gu Zhi returned?”

Wu Zhen shook his head, replying, “I’ve stationed people around the villa to watch for her. The moment they see Miss Gu Zhi, they’ll bring her straight here.”

Gu Dai nodded. “Alright.”

Observing her seated on the couch, Wu Zhen advised, “Miss, staying up late isn’t good for your health. Perhaps you should rest for the night and deal with Miss Gu Zhi’s situation in the morning. Once she returns, I’ll have someone notify you.”

Gu Dai gave a soft chuckle. “It’s alright. I rested this afternoon. I can’t sleep right now, so I might as well use this time to address some work matters.”

Saying this, she fetched her laptop from the table and began reviewing the company’s recent collaborations.

From a distance, Wu Zhen couldn’t discern the precise details on the screen but noticed the abundance of text.

Most people might feel drowsy at the sight, yet Gu Dai was wholly engrossed, occasionally suggesting revisions.

One glance at her was enough to grasp her prowess.

But seeing her work tirelessly, while proud, Wu Zhen couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. If the old lady was still alive, Gu Dai would likely still be a carefree child. Even if she had taken over the company, she wouldn’t be this burdened.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhi had already shed her cumbersome gown for a simple black casual attire and was cautiously approaching the villa.

She believed she had concealed her involvement in the Wei Ling incident well at the banquet, but the mere thought of Gu Dai made her feel uneasy, as if Gu Dai knew everything.

So even though the banquet had ended quite a while ago, Gu Zhi loitered outside, waiting until she thought Gu Dai would be asleep before sneaking back to the villa.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Zhi closed her eyes in reverence, making a praying gesture, silently pleading, “Dear deities, please don’t let Gu Dai discover that I was the one who orchestrated the act..”
