Chapter 180: Apologize For her
Translator: _Min_
Su Ting’s words made Song Ling’s brows furrow slightly, he coldly retorted, “How can you be so sure you didn’t see it wrong? Maybe it was just a coincidence.”
Su Ting asserted with conviction, “I couldn’t have seen it wrong.”
“Who can guarantee that…” Song Ling began to argue.
Intervening, Gu Dai firmly believed Su Ting wouldn’t make such a claim lightly. She turned her cold gaze towards Song Ling and said, “The facts can be easily confirmed by asking the people involved.”
As soon as Gu Dai finished speaking, Zhou Ci immediately stepped forward, “I’ll bring the waiter over and arrange for someone to find Song Yu.”
The waiter was nearby and arrived within minutes, his face flushed with nervousness. Bowing apologetically, he stammered, “I’m sorry, it was my fault for not holding onto the cart tightly, causing this incident.”
Gu Dai noticed that the man’s trousers were stained with blood around the calf area, indicating a rather severe injury. She shook her head gently and softly assured him, “It’s alright.”
She then asked, “Did anyone bump into you just now?”
The waiter, relieved by Gu Dai’s forgiveness and kindness, thought back to the event. “I apologize, 1 was too flustered to notice who bumped into me. However, it seemed to be a lady wearing a light purple dress.”
Song Ling’s expression tightened. His sister, Song Yu, had wore a light purple dress today. He had seen her bump into the waiter but had hoped to explain the situation. Now that Su Ting had pointed it out, he suddenly became reluctant to admit it.
Keeping his eyes lowered, Song Ling responded coolly, “There are so many people at the party. She’s not the only one wearing a light purple dress. Besides, Song Yu hasn’t returned yet.”
Zhou Ci couldn’t take it anymore. He interrupted, “Wasn’t Song Yu the only one who ran in that direction? If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be?” contemporary romance
Remaining unfazed, Song Ling met Gu Dai’s gaze and said, “Proof is required to make such claims.”
Su Ting moved to stand in front of Gu Dai, blocking Song Ling’s view. “The hotel has security cameras. We’ll soon find out whether it was Song Yu or not.” Song Ling’s expression shifted slightly.
Following Su Ting’s instructions, the waiter made a call. Shortly thereafter, a man arrived, carrying a laptop.
The man arrived, visibly out of breath. After wiping the sweat from his face, he quickly played the security footage on his laptop.
The surveillance video was crystal clear, vividly capturing the moment when Song Yu collided with the waiter as she ran off.
Gu Dai turned to Song Ling and said, “The evidence is now in front of us. Is it time for an apology?”
Su Ting didn’t speak, but upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, he nodded in agreement.
Song Ling, observing the intimacy between Gu Dai and Su Ting, felt a surge of resentment. Deep down, he thought that Gu Dai being hit by the cart would have been a fitting retribution for her flirtatious behavior.
His eyes as dark as ink, Song Ling turned to Zhou Ci and coldly asked, “Have you found Song Yu yet?”
Zhou Ci, irritated by Song Ling’s tone, responded in kind, “No.”
Receiving this answer only added to Song Ling’s irritation.
After staring at Gu Dai for a moment, he stiffly said, “Song Yu didn’t do it on purpose. Since you insist on an apology, then I’ll apologize on her behalf. Sorry.”
The apology clearly cost him; it was the first time in his life he had ever had to apologize to someone.
Gu Dai frowned, watching as he made to leave. She called out, “Wait, don’t go yet.”
Instinctively, Song Ling halted and turned to look at her.
Gu Dai posed her question, “Are you saying that this incident has nothing to do with Song Yu?”
“Of course,” Song Ling responded curtly.
Gu Dai almost laughed out of incredulity, but she quickly composed herself, her expression becoming stone-like. She asked Song Ling, “If 1 were to accidentally kill you, would the court find me innocent?”
Stunned, Song Ling opened his mouth to say something but ended up saying nothing at all. He quickly turned and walked away.
The waiter once again expressed his apologies profusely. When Gu Dai assured him it was fine, he prepared to return to work.
However, Gu Dai stopped him. Seeing his anxious expression, she spoke softly, “Wait. I’ll speak to your manager. You should go to the hospital and get your leg checked out..”
