Chapter 432: Attend the charity banquet
Translator: _Min_ |
Song Ling paused, puzzled, “Find a way to pursue Gu Dai?”
Zhou Ci nodded affirmatively, “In a couple of days, there will be a charity banquet, and Gu Dai is likely to attend. I think it’s a great opportunity for you to get close to her.”
Song Ling furrowed his brows, his gaze on Zhou Ci filled with inquiry.
“I remember you also liked Gu Dai. Why are you so eager to help me now?” Song Ling questioned.
Zhou Ci sighed lightly and said indifferently, “Because I’ve accepted the truth that Gu Dai will never like me. And seeing you, my brother, in such emotional pain, I can’t stand idly by. So, I thought of helping you.”
Song Ling hesitated internally, “You’re doing this out of the goodness of your heart?”
Zhou Ci laughed, slightly exasperated, and patted Song Ling’s shoulder, “I have things to attend to in my company, so I’ll be leaving now. The final decision is up to you.”
As he sat in his car, Zhou Ci couldn’t help but regret his decision, thinking if he knew Song Ling would be so skeptical, he wouldn’t have bothered. His good intentions seemed wasted.
The charity banquet began in the Capital City, a grand event that drew many elites.
Donating to charity was one aspect, but the main goal was to expand networks for future business developments.
Su Ci turned away from the window and smiled at Gu Dai, “Daidai, there are many reporters outside taking pictures. Are you nervous?”
Gu Dai chuckled softly, “Not at all.”
Su Ci nodded, complimenting, “Daidai, you look so beautiful. You’ll definitely dazzle everyone tonight.”
Feeling a bit shy, Gu Dai glanced at Su Ci, dressed in a white suit, “You look very gentle in your outfit today, it suits you well.”
Su Ci’s eyes curved in a smile, “As long as Daidai likes it. If you see any jewelry you like at the gala, just bid for it. I’ll buy it for you.”
As they chatted, their car stopped at the venue.
Su Ci got out first, then opened the door for Gu Dai, escorting her out.
The reporters were already busy taking photos, their flashlights blinking continuously while they whispered among themselves.
“Do you know who that couple is?”
“No idea. Haven’t seen them at past banquets, but they look stunning together. Can’t take my eyes off them!”
“Look, there’s some information about them. The man is Su Ci from Dai Ci Studio, and the woman is Gu Dai from Gu Group.”
“Gu Dai from Gu Group? Isn’t she the same Miss Gu that’s been all over the internet? I heard she’s incredibly beautiful but thought it was an exaggeration. Turns out it’s true.”
“It’s like seeing a fairy from a fairy tale.”
After entering the venue, Gu Dai asked, puzzled, “The reporters didn’t interview me. Did I do something wrong?”
Although not nervous, it was her first public appearance as the heiress of the Gu family, so she was concerned about the reception.
Su Ci shook his head, “You did great. No issues.”
Still perplexed, Gu Dai wondered, “Then why didn’t they…”
Su Ci joked, “Maybe they were too stunned by your beauty.”
As the reporters snapped back to reality, they hurried to interview Gu Dai and Su Ci but found they had already walked the red carpet and entered the banquet. They felt regretful for missing the chance.
Flattered by Su Ci’s compliments, Gu Dai lowered her eyes shyly, “Stop teasing me.”
Meng Chuan spoke, “Daidai.”
Gu Dai looked up and, remembering they were in a public setting, controlled her emotions and spoke softly, “Second Brother, you’re here early.”
Meng Chuan replied, “I arrived just a bit before you.”
Gu Dai nodded and quickly introduced Su Ci, “Second Brother, this is Su Ci. I don’t know if you remember him.”
Meng Chuan looked helplessly at Gu Dai, “Of course, I remember.”
He had already heard about Su Ci from Meng Zhi and felt a bit dazed seeing him now.
Stepping forward, he shook Su Ci’s hand, feeling rea.s.sured by the touch, and smiled, “Su Ci, long time no see.”
Although Meng Chuan wasn’t as close to Su Ci as Meng Zhi was, he still held him in high regard, especially after knowing about his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Dai. He had wholeheartedly supported them.
Meng Chuan had been saddened to hear about Su Ci’s ordeal, and seeing him alive and well before him now filled him with a mix of emotions..
