Chapter 552: Go Without Any Worries
....Translator: _Min_ |
Gu Dai pressed her lips together, wrestling with her thoughts for a long while before taking a deep breath and addressing Gu Zhe and Meng Xian, “Mom, dad, the company is facing a shortage of raw materials, and I need to travel abroad tomorrow to discuss the materials with a supplier.”
Gu Zhe asked, “Is this project urgent?”
Gu Dai nodded, “The project has been delayed for a few days already due to the lack of materials.”
Meng Xian, uneasy, suggested, “We just escaped from the island, and the person behind this might take this opportunity to act. It’s too dangerous for you to go abroad alone. Perhaps we should abandon this project.”
Gu Dai found herself in a difficult position; her primary purpose for going abroad was not actually to acquire raw materials but to investigate the true culprit behind their ordeal on the island.
Su Ting stepped forward, “Uncle, auntie, don’t worry. I will accompany Daidai tomorrow. I promise no harm will come to her.”
Gu Dai frowned subconsciously, not wanting to involve Su Ting.
However, Gu Zhe and Meng Xian were relieved, “If you two are going together, we’ll be more at ease.”
Hearing her parents say this, Gu Dai found herself unable to reject Su Ting.
Meng Xian, watching Gu Dai and Su Ting head upstairs together, couldn’t help but remark, “Those two really do make a good pair.”
Gu Zhe nodded, “I remember when Daidai first brought Su Ting home. He knew nothing back then, and now, in just a few years, he has achieved so much.”
Meng Xian chuckled, “Su Ting has put in so much effort to be worthy of Daidai.
I believe he will treat her well in the future.”
Back in her room, Gu Dai said, “Your company must have matters that need your attention. Maybe I should go by myself tomorrow.”
Su Ting quickly responded, “Daidai, my company isn’t busy.”
He then added, somewhat plaintively, “And you had agreed before that I could come with you.”
Gu Dai remembered, but…
She said, “I later said I’d think about it.”
Su Ting softly argued, “If I don’t go, uncle and auntie will surely notice and worry endlessly about you.”
Gu Dai sighed, “Let’s go together tomorrow then.”
Su Ting’s eyes lit up, and he nodded, “I’ll go pack my things right now!”
A few minutes later, Gu Dai heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Su Ting, she opened the door, saying, “I won’t leave you behind tomorrow, so don’t worry…”
Her words trailed off as she saw Meng Si standing before her. She coughed lightly and then greeted, “Big brother.”
Meng Si nodded, handing her a small box, “Open it and see if you like it.”
Inside the box was a necklace, simple yet adorned with pearls, luxurious but understated.
Gu Dai carefully closed the box, looking at Meng Si, “Thank you, big brother. I really like it.”
Meng Si smiled, “I’m glad you like it.”
He didn’t miss Gu Dai’s words upon opening the door, “I heard from auntie that you’re going abroad for a project?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Yes, we’ve run out of a certain raw material, and I need to go abroad…”
Feeling a sense of guilt under Meng Si’s gaze, her voice grew softer, feeling as if Meng Si could see through her.
Meng Si sighed deeply, asking in a serious tone, “Daidai, is your trip abroad really just for the raw material?”
Knowing Meng Si was aware of the truth, Gu Dai lowered her head, silent for a few seconds before affirming, “Big brother, I have to find out who’s behind this. Even if you try to stop me, I won’t give up!”
Bracing herself for Meng Si’s objection, she was surprised to feel a gentle touch on her head.
Looking up in confusion, she called out, “Big brother?”
Meng Si softly said, “I won’t stop you.”
Meeting Gu Dai’s puzzled gaze, he continued, “If Daidai wants to do this, then go ahead.”
Understanding Meng Si’s stance, Gu Dai nodded vigorously, “Okay!”
Meng Si added, “But for your safety, I still need to arrange for some people to protect you in secret, is that okay?”
Gu Dai had no objections, “Of course!”
She thought of her parents, expressing her worry, “The person who imprisoned mom and dad might come after them. While I’m away, I hope you can take care of them.”
Meng Si rea.s.sured, “Daidai, your parents are my auntie and uncle, my family. Even if you didn’t ask, I would take good care of them..”
