Chapter 126: Impossible to Reconcile
Translator: _Min_
Haunted by the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt overseas years ago, Song Ling often suffered from nightmares. During those restless nights, it was Gu Dai’s soft whispers that lulled him back to sleep.
When he woke up, however, he would feel embarra.s.sed and lash out at her.
He acknowledged that Gu Dai had always been good to him, but the thought that she was materialistic sickened him, sharpening his att.i.tude toward her even further.
Gu Dai would often hold back tears, offering him a forced smile without a single word of complaint, only to continue treating him kindly.
All of this began to change when Jiang Yue returned to the country. When he once again suggested a divorce to Gu Dai, she agreed without hesitation. Initially, he thought it was some kind of manipulative ploy on her part, but her agreement was genuine. Now, the warmth that once filled her gaze when she looked at him had vanished.
His reflection, once so vivid in her eyes, was now nowhere to be found.
The more Song Ling thought about this, the more agitated he became. His hands clenched into fists, which he slammed down onto the car seat, producing a thunderous noise.
Zhao Xuan, witnessing this, grew increasingly anxious and dared not utter a word.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Gu Dai’s car was starkly different.
Despite Song An’s promise never to act so recklessly again, Gu Dai couldn’t help but chide him, “Grandpa, how could you go up to such a high cliff?”
Hastily, Song An explained, “Daidai, it was all an act to force that brat Song Ling to not marry Jiang Yue and reconcile with you. As soon as he agreed, I would have come down. I wasn’t actually going to jump off the cliff.”
After saying this, Song An glanced at Song Zhi, his personal butler, who was also in the car. “If Daidai doesn’t believe me, she can ask the butler here. I told him beforehand that it was all an act.”
Caught off guard, Song Zhi still cooperated, saying, “That’s correct. The old master told me in advance that he was merely putting on a show.”
Gu Dai was speechless.
Gu Dai sighed, “Even if it was an act, it was still incredibly dangerous. What if something had gone wrong? You must never do something like this again!”
Obediently, Song An nodded, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Daidai.”
After giving his a.s.sent, Song An carefully lifted his eyes to look at Gu Dai and cautiously asked, “Daidai, you and Song Ling…”
Gu Dai pursed her lips and said firmly, “Grandpa, a reconciliation between Song Ling and me is not possible.”
Panicking, Song An rushed to say, “Daidai, Grandpa will sort Song Ling out for you. He won’t dare to treat you the way he did before. If he does, I’ll have someone break his legs immediately!”
When Song An learned of Gu Dai’s divorce from Song Ling, he had immediately started an investigation. Only then did he realize that Gu Dai had been suffering quietly at the hands of Song Ling and w.a.n.g Lan, his daughter-in-law.
Even after hearing Song An’s vehement promises, Gu Dai shook her head resolutely. “Grandpa, Song Ling and I just don’t get along. Three years of being together have made it clear that we’re not suited for each other. A reconciliation wouldn’t bring happiness.”
Realization dawned on Song An. Gu Dai had made up her mind; she and Song Ling had no future.
With a weary sigh, Song An finally conceded, “Alright, it’s ultimately Song Ling’s loss. The boy can’t see straight, swayed as he is by Jiang Yue. But he’s my grandson; I know him well. He has his boundaries and wouldn’t betray you during his time in the marriage.”
“I understand, Grandpa,” Gu Dai responded softly.
Although Song Ling could be obtuse and harsh, during their three years of marriage, he had steadfastly rejected the advances of numerous women.
If anyone persisted, he would even order Zhao Xuan to have them escorted out.
Feeling relieved, Song An suddenly noticed something unusual. He looked at Gu Dai, who was skillfully maneuvering the car, then at the winding cliff side road outside the window. Puzzled, he finally asked, “Daidai, when did you learn to drive? And so skillfully at that? Even on this treacherous cliff side road, you drive the car so smoothly. 1 haven’t seen such skilled driving since my younger days among professional racers..”
