Su Ting affectionately pinched Gu Dai’s cheeks, gazing at the blush on her face with a smile. “Daidai, you’ve seen my entire body before, why are you still shy?”
Gu Dai coughed lightly, whispering, “But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, and I feel somewhat unfamiliar with it now.”
Understanding dawned on Su Ting as he nodded, his eyes sparkling while looking at Gu Dai. “Daidai, are you saying…”
Gu Dai quickly covered Su Ting’s mouth with her hand, her voice laced with panic. “I didn’t mean that, I wasn’t implying anything, don’t make wild guesses, do you hear me?”
Feeling the palm on his lips, Su Ting nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Gu Dai sigh in relief and remove her hand, but as she did, she felt the softness of his lips. Instantly, she froze as if struck by lightning, hastily changing the subject. “You should show me your self-defense skills!”
She resolved in her heart that if Su Ting’s demonstrated abilities were lacking, she would arrange for him to have more bodyguards.
Unaware of Gu Dai’s thoughts, Su Ting was fully focused on preparing to demonstrate his skills.
Watching Su Ting display his self-defense techniques, a smile involuntarily spread across Gu Dai’s face, her joy apparent.
She suddenly realized that Su Ting’s talents extended beyond the business realm and couldn’t help but suggest, “Let’s spar and see.”
Meanwhile, Song Ling sat on the hospital bed, fixated on his phone, and asked Zhao Xuan, “Has Su Corporation issued a clarification yet?”
Zhao Xuan, without even checking, responded wearily, “No.”
Song Yu couldn’t help but interject, “Brother, you just asked that a second ago. How could Su Corporation have issued a statement in such a short time? Besides, aren’t you monitoring the trending searches yourself?”
Ignoring Song Yu, Song Ling’s gaze remained glued to his phone.
Seeing Song Ling’s obsession, Song Yu whispered to Wang Lan, “Mom, brother is so concerned about his rival. I think he’s one step closer to winning over Sister Gu Dai.”
Upon hearing Song Yu’s words, Wang Lan wanted to tell her that Song Ling had no chance of being with Gu Dai again.
Yet, facing Song Yu’s bright eyes, she found herself unable to voice that thought.
With a resigned sigh, Wang Lan responded, “You might be right.”
Song Yu’s smile grew even brighter, her laughter bubbling forth.
Continuously scrolling through his phone and seeing no clarification from Su Corporation, Song Ling felt oddly satisfied.
He remembered Gu Dai’s serious expression during their restaurant meeting and wondered if there had been a misunderstanding. However, the lack of a response from Su Corporation suggested they couldn’t refute the claims.
Zhao Xuan, noticing the smile on Song Ling’s face, shivered, sensing his unpredictable nature.
Song Ling opened his chat with Gu Dai and sent a message.
Song Ling: “It’s now a fact that Su Ting is responsible for someone’s death. It’s not too late to break up with him. Once you’re with me, I’ll use the Song family’s influence to ensure your company remains unaffected.”
After sending the message, he looked at it again, satisfied. However, Zhao Xuan’s urgent voice soon reached his ears.
Zhao Xuan: “President Song, Su Corporation hasn’t issued any statement, but the person rumored to have died due to overwork at Su Ting’s company has come forward.”
Upon hearing Zhao Xuan’s words, Song Ling’s expression darkened. He quickly retracted the message he had sent to Gu Dai and began reading the statement released by the alleged victim, Wang Hong, his expression growing increasingly grim.
In a clarifying video, Wang Hong, looking healthy and lying in a hospital bed, explained his medical condition and the circumstances surrounding the photographed incident. He also shared how the company had taken care of him and covered his medical expenses.
After watching the video, Zhao Xuan couldn’t help but remark, “So it was all a misunderstanding, and Su Corporation really treats its employees well.”
As he finished speaking, he felt a chill surrounding him and knew without looking what was happening.
Sure enough, Song Ling’s icy voice followed immediately.
Song Ling said, “If you think so highly of Su Ting’s company, then resign and go work there.”
Zhao Xuan hurriedly responded, “President Song, I didn’t mean that at all.”
Without sparing Zhao Xuan a glance, Song Ling commanded, “Get out.”
Zhao Xuan didn’t hesitate and quickly left the room.
Seeing this, Song Yu wanted to speak up in an attempt to mediate, “Brother….”
