Compared to Su Ting’s elated spirits, Song Ling was decidedly in a terrible mood.
All of Song Ling’s previous attire had been meticulously selected by Gu Dai. This meant that, following their divorce, there had been an extended period during which he was bereft of new garments.
Thus, after work today, he ventured into a clothing store, only to encounter Gu Dai and Su Ting by chance. He stood behind them, inadvertently overhearing their entire conversation.
Gu Dai and Su Ting were together!
Song Ling clenched his fists tightly, his gaze darkening as he stared at their retreating figures.
He eyed the matching couple outfit worn by Gu Dai and Su Ting with rising irritation. Gu Dai had never worn such matching clothes with him during their marriage, and now, she was doing it with someone else—a bitter pill to swallow indeed!
Song Ling gritted his teeth, forcefully suppressing the rage burning within him.
Zhao Xuan shrank back upon observing Song Ling’s shadow trailing behind Gu Dai, too frightened to utter a word and silently followed along.
Even after numerous instances, Zhao Xuan still couldn’t acclimate to Song Ling’s uncontrollable demeanor whenever he encountered Gu Dai.
However, his own boss hardly warranted any sympathy, given that he was the architect of his current predicament.
With a stony expression, Song Ling watched as Su Ting and Gu Dai affectionately enjoyed their outing, and finally, when they entered the same restaurant, he could no longer contain himself and strode over to confront them.
Upon seeing Song Ling, Gu Dai’s brow furrowed, and she spoke with a cold voice, “Please step aside, thank you.”
Song Ling, as if deaf to Gu Dai’s words, said on his own accord, “I’ve come to dine at this restaurant too. I thought we might share a table.”
Gu Dai’s irritation deepened.
Su Ting stepped in front of Gu Dai, blocking Song Ling’s view, and said coldly, “Mr. Song, Sis does not wish to have any contact with you, and we decline the offer to share a table.”
Song Ling looked at Su Ting with a disdainful gaze and retorted, “I’m talking to my wife, what’s it to you?”
Gu Dai wanted nothing to do with Song Ling. Upon hearing his words, she immediately replied, “We are divorced. I am not your wife!”
Moreover, when they were married, Song Ling never acknowledged her status, never introducing her to others.
Now that they were divorced, he was calling her his wife again, which was simply nauseating.
Su Ting looked down at Song Ling and said softly, “Daidai has divorced you. Please stop bothering her. Otherwise, I will expose President Song’s behavior to the world, and everyone will know you lack any sense of boundary.”
Su Ting’s influence was significant globally. Even though Song Ling could have professionals shut down accounts, he could never keep up with the vast numbers.
Realizing this, Song Ling’s face grew increasingly pale, even ashen.
Zhao Xuan watched the scene unfold, already strategizing how to protect Song Ling from getting too battered should a fight break out over Gu Dai.
Song Ling averted Su Ting’s gaze and said to Gu Dai, “I misunderstood you before, so I’d like to invite you to dinner as an apology.”
Gu Dai couldn’t comprehend what incident Song Ling was referring to, nor did she want to know, and flatly declined, “There’s no need for dinner, and I won’t accept your apology.”
Song Ling, taken aback by Gu Dai’s rebuff, felt an anger smoldering within him, “Gu Dai, regardless, you are the chairwoman of a corporation. Why do you act so emotionally?”
Gu Dai, confronting Song Ling’s familiar tone, looked at him directly and inquired with a curled lip, “Is this the first time President Song has seen me act on emotion?”
Without waiting for a response, Gu Dai continued, “Moreover, how 1 act is my concern. President Song, mind your own business and stop fretting over me like an old mother hen!”
Song Ling’s expression turned frosty, his breathing deepened as he exhaled sharply, “Fine, very well! You may not accept my apology, Gu Dai, but shouldn’t you at least thank me?”
At that moment, Gu Dai felt as if she had heard the biggest joke on earth. She looked at Song Ling as if gazing at a fool.
Gu Dai, puzzled, asked, “Why should 1 thank you? What have you done that’s worthy of my gratitude?”
Song Ling, losing sight of his composure, blurted out, “1 acquired Zhou Corporation!”
