Chapter 363: Found Gu Dai
Translator: _Min_ |
Upon hearing Xu Huan mention her parents, Gu Dai’s expression momentarily froze, a flicker of loneliness crossing her eyes.
Seeing Gu Dai’s demeanor, Xu Huan lowered her gaze and sighed, s.h.i.+fting the conversation by asking, “Daidai, how did you end up on Cloud Island?”
Gu Dai snapped out of her daze, meeting Xu Huan’s concerned gaze with a small smile to rea.s.sure her, then softly said, “I followed a trail of clues here. I never expected to run into you.”
Xu Huan looked at Gu Dai, now grown into a striking young woman, and nodded approvingly.
As a child, Gu Dai was always clingy to Xu Huan. With affection, she said, “Grandma, I’ve missed you so much. Will you come back to the Capital with me? Back home?”
Xu Huan hugged Gu Dai and replied with a smile, “Yes.”
During Gu Dai and Xu Huan’s tender moment, Su Ting and Song Ling stood aside, not interrupting. Once the two parted, they both called out “Grandma” in turn.
Xu Huan looked at them and then back at Gu Dai, asking, “And who might you be?”
Su Ting introduced herself, “h.e.l.lo, Grandma. My name is Su Ting. I’m an artist in Sis’ company.”
Song Ling followed, saying, “I’m Song Ling, I am Gu Dai’s…”
He hesitated, not wanting to reveal his ident.i.ty as Gu Dai’s ex-husband. After all, admitting it would mean acknowledging his past mistreatment of Gu Dai in front of her family.
Seeing Song Ling at a loss for words, Gu Dai interjected, “Grandma, he’s our partner in the Suzhou embroidery project.”
Xu Huan, puzzled, asked, “Suzhou embroidery?”
Gu Dai nodded and went on to explain about inviting Master Zhen Chan and the recent Suzhou embroidery compet.i.tion.
Su Ting’s phone rang; it was Meng Zhi calling.
Gu Dai immediately recognized Meng Zhi’s voice from the other end of the phone. After Su Ting hung up, she asked expectantly, “What did my Third Brother say?”
With a slight smile, Su Ting replied, “Meng Zhi said he’s already on Cloud Island. He asked me to send him our location, and he’ll be here soon.”
Gu Dai nodded with a light laugh.
Song Ling watched Gu Dai smiling at Su Ting, his hands clenching unconsciously, a dark glint flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.
Meng Zhi arrived swiftly, embracing Gu Dai and crying out, “Daidai, are you feeling okay? I was so worried. I’ll have a doctor check on you!”
Gu Dai wanted to tell him that she was a doctor herself and knew she was fine, but Meng Zhi didn’t give her a chance to speak, immediately calling for a doctor.
After confirming that Gu Dai was healthy, Meng Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He also didn’t forget about Su Ting and Song Ling, who had helped rescue Gu Dai, and had the doctor check them as well.
Crying, Meng Zhi said, “Daidai, you really scared me. I thought something terrible had happened, I…”
Meng Zhi regretted going to bed early on the s.h.i.+p the night before. If he had stayed up, he might have saved Gu Dai, or at least been with her.
Gu Dai silently handed him a tissue, comforting him, “It’s okay, Third Brother.
I was wearing a life jacket, and Su Ting was with me.”
Meng Zhi’s emotions gradually calmed down, and he then noticed Xu Huan standing beside Gu Dai.
Having often stayed at Gu Dai’s house as a child, Meng Zhi had met Xu Huan a few times, though he seemed a bit bewildered now.
Gu Dai, seeing Meng Zhi’s expression, laughed softly, then said, “You’re not mistaken. This is my grandma.”
Meng Zhi nodded dumbly, politely greeting, “h.e.l.lo, Grandma. I’m Meng Zhi.”
Xu Huan smiled and replied, “The smallest young master of the Meng family, I remember you.”
Meng Zhi shyly scratched his head.
Suddenly remembering Gu Dai hadn’t eaten, Meng Zhi quickly said, “Daidai, I’ve already asked the chef to prepare a meal. Let’s eat on the plane.”
Gu Dai nodded.
After everyone left, only Meng Zhi and Xu Huan remained in the room.
Xu Huan looked at Meng Zhi and asked, “Did something happen to Daidai?”
Meng Zhi, not wanting to alarm Xu Huan, simply summarized the events of the past three years.
Xu Huan, having lived many years, understood the gist of the situation despite Meng Zhi’s downplaying.
Angered, she slapped the table and sighed, “These are grievances from the previous generation, yet the younger ones are forced to bear them…”
Xu Huan then turned to Meng Zhi and inquired, “What is Su Ting and Song Ling’s relations.h.i.+p with Daidai?”
