Chapter 434: You will never be able to compare to Gu Dai
Translator: _Min_ |
Zhou Ci couldn’t help but purse his lips, believing more that Song Ling came to the banquet not just for fresh air, but to see Gu Dai.
However, meeting Song Ling’s threatening gaze, Zhou Ci swallowed the words he was about to say.
Flicking his hair, Zhou Ci then walked over to Gu Dai with a smile, “Miss Gu Dai, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but you’re still as beautiful as ever.”
Gu Dai, silent for a moment, politely smiled and replied, “Thank you.”
Zhou Ci quickly waved his hand, saying “Don’t mention it,” and then approached Meng Chuan, extending his hand for a handshake, “the award-winning Meng, I adore your movies, never missed a single one. Meeting you in person today is an honor!”
Meng Chuan, not a fan of Zhou Ci’s slick demeanor but appreciative of the compliment, still shook his hand.
Zhou Ci then approached Su Ci, seeing him for the first time in Gu Dai’s presence and having never heard of him in the country before.
Su Ci said warmly, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Su Ci.”
Zhou Ci hurriedly responded, “Su Ci, h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo, I’m Zhou Ci.”
He suddenly felt that Song Ling’s compet.i.tion was strong, as he couldn’t believe that Gu Dai would prefer the icy Song Ling over a gentle person like Su Ci.
Song Ling, his face as dark as coal with anger, found it increasingly unbearable to look at Su Ci’s face, realizing their side profiles were almost identical.
This constant reminder that he was just a replacement infuriated him.
This prompted Song Ling to turn and stride away briskly.
Sheng Xin, still clinging to Song Ling’s arm, stumbled as she was caught off guard by his sudden movement.
Regaining her balance, she hurriedly followed, again latching onto his arm, “Wait for me.”
Song Ling’s pace quickened instead of slowing down.
Sheng Xin, clutching her fists, had no choice but to quicken her steps. Even though she could barely keep up with Song Ling, she still maintained an air of disregard for anyone else.
Zhou Ci, witnessing Song Ling’s behavior, felt frustrated and eventually gave up on helping him, exhaling deeply. He then joined Gu Dai and the others for a chat.
Su Ci watched as Song Ling’s figure disappeared, his gaze darkening momentarily.
In a corner away from the crowd, Song Ling violently shook off Sheng Xin’s arm, taking out a handkerchief to disdainfully wipe the spot she had touched.
Stung by Song Ling’s action, Sheng Xin crossed her arms and angrily said, “President Song, you’re quite heartless, using me and then discarding me like this.”
Song Ling looked at her coldly, “It was your choice to be used.”
Sheng Xin paused, then smoothed her hair and smiled, “It seems Gu Dai might not care about you. After all, she didn’t stop you when you walked away. Why waste your efforts on her? Why not choose someone else?”
“Like you?” Song Ling asked.
Sheng Xin was startled, then replied, “Exactly. I remember you were reluctant to marry Gu Dai. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you’ll like me in the future.”
Song Ling, eyes cold, replied disdainfully, “Forget it. I will never marry you or like someone like you.”
With that, he turned and walked away, but after a few steps, he stopped and added, “You will never be able to compare to Gu Dai.”
Sheng Xin, trembling with anger, retorted, “And you’ll never compare to Su Ci, the man beside Gu Dai. They must be close to attend the banquet together, and weren’t they the ones in the trending search a few days ago?”
Song Ling paused at her words.
Sheng Xin continued, “Don’t you want to verify Gu Dai’s feelings for you?”
The banquet was about to start.
Su Ci turned to Gu Dai and softly said, “Daidai, let’s go.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
Zhou Ci instinctively followed Gu Dai but was blocked by Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan apologetically said, “Sorry, but this box is reserved, so we won’t be inviting Mr. Zhou.”
Although his tone was apologetic, his determined gaze and blocking gesture showed no sign of regret.
In that moment, Zhou Ci bitterly regretted his past frivolous lifestyle, which now made Meng Chuan guard him like guarding against a wolf..
