Capital Hotel.
Meng Zhi gazed in disbelief at Su Ci, who was vividly standing before him. Overwhelmed with emotion, he reached out to embrace him. “Brother, you’re still alive. I feared you had perished in that cruise s.h.i.+p incident…”
Tears s.h.i.+mmered in Meng Zhi’s eyes, his voice choked with emotion as he spoke.
Gu Dai looked at Meng Zhi, his face breaking into a smile. “Third Brother, don’t be sad. Isn’t Su Ci here and well?”
Meng Zhi nodded vigorously, murmuring affirmations to himself.
However, it was only during the meal that Meng Zhi recalled a detail he had overlooked. He raised his head to question Gu Dai, “Daidai, did you know about Su Ci being alive all this time? Don’t bother denying it, I know you must have!”
Gu Dai cleared her throat, turning her head slightly. “I only found out a few days before you did.”
Su Ci nodded, speaking softly, “It’s my fault. I should have informed you all when I returned to the country.”
Meng Zhi sighed, “Alright, I’ll let it slide this time. After all, we’re brothers. But don’t blame me for getting angry if this happens again.”
“Alright,” Su Ci replied softly.
Gu Dai, seeing Su Ting eating his rice, used the serving chopsticks to add some dishes to his bowl. “Eat some more, it tastes better with rice.”
Su Ting looked up, smiling. “Okay.”
He thought that after his brother’s return, he would probably end up with Gu Dai, relegating himself to the sidelines. But he was still being cared for, so he felt content and didn’t yearn for more.
After noticing Gu Dai’s actions, Meng Zhi’s eyes flickered with a deeper meaning. He always felt that Gu Dai’s feelings for Su Ting were different.
Although Su Ci was his close friend, Meng Zhi decided not to dwell on it, considering his younger sister’s feelings were more important.
Su Ci inquired, “What about Meng Li?”
Meng Zhi explained, “Our second brother has a charity banquet to attend in two days. It’s a big event with lots of media coverage, so he’s been dragged away by his agent to select outfits and can’t return for now.”
“A charity banquet?” Gu Dai echoed.
Meng Zhi nodded. “Yes. I remember you can sign up to attend. Do you guys have time? We could join in for some fun.”
Gu Dai readily agreed, nodding. “Sure, I’ve been busy lately. It’ll be a good break to attend a banquet.”
“I’ll be there too,” said Su Ci.
Su Ting thought about his schedule and said dejectedly, “I have an engagement then and can’t join you.”
Gu Dai ruffled Su Ting’s hair, consoling him, “It’s alright. There will be many more opportunities in the future.”
“Okay,” Su Ting nodded obediently.
After Su Ting and Su Ci left, Meng Zhi pulled Gu Dai aside to inquire, “Daidai, how has Su Ci been all these years?”
Gu Dai revealed, “He was on that cruise s.h.i.+p that sank. He woke up on a small island and was lucky to be rescued by local fishermen. That’s how he survived.”
Gu Dai, who had also been swept away by the sea, deeply understood the despair of that moment. Her heart was filled with myriad emotions as she recounted the story.
Meng Zhi nodded.
Gu Dai, perplexed by Meng Zhi’s intense gaze, asked, “What’s wrong, Third Brother?”
Meng Zhi, upon hearing Gu Dai’s question, also seemed lost in thought. “I’m waiting for you to continue. What happened after he was rescued? Why did he suddenly go abroad, and what brought him back to the country? And if he was alive all these years, why didn’t he contact us?”
Gu Dai shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Meng Zhi frowned, sensing something amiss.
“He said he would tell me the rest later,” Gu Dai added.
Meng Zhi’s frown deepened. “It doesn’t make sense. After all he’s been through, wouldn’t he have shared everything with you upon seeing you?”
Gu Dai pondered for a moment. “Maybe he wanted to settle his work matters first after returning to the country. After all, there’s plenty of time to talk later. I’ll ask him about it when I get a chance.”
Meng Zhi, finding logic in Gu Dai’s words, decided not to dwell on it any longer.
Back at the company, Gu Dai was swamped with work. The influence of a variety show had brought in a continuous stream of collaborations, increasing her workload.
Zheng Ming hurried into the office, placing a tablet on Gu Dai’s desk. “Chairwoman Gu, you’re trending online..”
