Gu Dai coldly refused, “You are a guest, just go directly in.”
Upon hearing the word “guest,” Song Ling’s face stiffened for a moment before he regained composure, smiling as he spoke, “Are you still upset about me walking with Sheng Xin that day?”
Gu Dai furrowed her brows, puzzled as to why Song Ling would bring this up.
Seeing her reaction, Song Ling felt even more convinced that Gu Dai cared about this matter. His smile grew wider as he said, “Don’t be angry, let me explain.”
Without waiting for Gu Dai to respond, Song Ling continued on his own, “At that time, it was Sheng Xin who insisted on clinging to me, and I was provoked by seeing you with Su Ting, so I didn’t drive her away. Now I realize my mistake. Please, don’t be jealous or mad at me, alright?”
Gu Dai’s frown deepened, as if it could trap flies.
Song Ling asked, “What can I do to make you not angry?”
Gu Dai responded indifferently, “I am not angry.”
Song Ling breathed a sigh of relief, “So, does this mean you’ve forgiven me?”
Gu Dai took a deep breath, clearly feeling that Song Ling was not understanding her, “I am not angry, nor am I jealous of you being with someone else, because I don’t care about you.”
As if fearing Song Ling wouldn’t believe her, she repeated, “I don’t care at all.”
Song Ling’s face turned pale, and he looked as if he might collapse.
At that moment, Su Ting approached Gu Dai and whispered something in her ear.
Gu Dai quickly followed Su Ting away.
Seeing the backs of Gu Dai and Su Ting walking together, Song Ling’s legs became unsteady. If not for someone supporting him, he would have certainly fallen to the ground.
Sheng Xin said gently, “Song Ling, be careful.”
Song Ling pushed Sheng Xin away, asking coldly, “Why are you here?”
After saying this, he narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous, “Did you track me down by finding out where I was?”
Sheng Xin waved her hand, “I am here to celebrate Grandma Gu’s birthday. It was just a coincidence that I ran into you.”
Song Ling didn’t believe her and turned to leave with a dark expression.
Sheng Xin, far from being scared off by Song Ling’s coldness, looked forward to it even more, fantasizing about this cold man liking her and being completely submissive after being conquered by her.
Just thinking about it made her blood boil with excitement.
Gu Dai quickly walked to Xu Huan’s room and pushed the door open.
Upon meeting Gu Ming’s gaze, her eyes darkened further, and she asked coldly, “How did you get in?”
Even though Gu Ming was tied up, he was not flustered, “I walked in.”
Su Ting added, “I checked the surveillance. He has a key to the villa’s back door. He sneaked in during the night when no one was around.”
Gu Dai’s gaze fell on the surveillance footage on the computer, which showed Gu Ming sneaking into the Gu residence.
She squatted down, looking Gu Ming in the eye, “What business do you have with grandma?”
Gu Ming replied, “I am out of money.”
Xu Huan, gasping a bit more hastily, scolded, “You’re an adult with hands and feet, can’t you earn your own money?”
Gu Ming sneered, “With all the money I owe, how long would it take for me to earn it myself? Besides, you have money. Why not let me spend it? Why?”
Xu Huan replied, “Because it’s not your money, and I have no obligation to give it to you.”
Gu Ming nodded, “Since you won’t give me money, then don’t blame me for causing a scene at the birthday banquet later!”
Gu Dai laughed coldly, “Are you sure you can cause trouble while tied up?”
Gu Ming was not flustered, “If I want to, I can find a way.”
Gu Dai, seeing his confidence, began to doubt whether Gu Ming really had a way.
She lowered her gaze, asking, “You dared to come here; have you forgotten how you were beaten up the day before yesterday?”
Gu Ming’s face turned slightly pale.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten. Since his legs were kicked, he had been lying in bed recuperating, still in pain…
Gu Ming looked up at Gu Dai, his tone cold, “Is life more important than money?”
Xu Huan was taken aback, not expecting Gu Ming to say such a thing.
Gu Ming continued, “If you don’t give me money, I will definitely cause a scene at the birthday banquet!”
Gu Dai took out a stack of cash from her pocket and threw it in front of Gu Ming.
Gu Ming’s eyes lit up, and he looked at the servant beside him, urging, “Hurry, untie me.”
The servant looked at Gu Dai.
Gu Dai nodded at her.
After Gu Ming’s hands were freed, he eagerly picked up the money from the ground, his eyes narrowing into slits as he promised, “I’ll leave now and won’t disturb the birthday banquet..”
