Chapter 205: Cooking for Sis
Translator: _Min_
Zhao Xuan was quick to act, and in just two to three hours, he had gathered information about what had happened years ago.
Zhao Xuan pushed open the door to the office and placed the file on Song Ling’s desk.
“Mr. Song, these are the results of the investigation,” Zhao Xuan announced.
Song Ling nodded in acknowledgment, lifting his hand to flip through the documents. His eyes scanned faster and faster, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Gu Dai had been on that exploding cruise ship three years ago. It was speculated that the incident had led to her amnesia.
Unable to resist commenting, Zhao Xuan said, “Mr. Song, Miss Gu returned to the country suddenly back then, and her ticket for the cruise was arranged by her uncle, Gu Ming. 1 find him highly suspicious.”
“I agree,” responded Song Ling, who felt the same way.
Right after Gu Dai’s incident, Gu Ming’s family moved into the Gu family’s villa and took over control of the Gu Group.
Everything seemed too smooth, as if it had been meticulously planned in advance.
Song Ling had seen many ploys during the chaos that once engulfed the Song family. With just a glance at these documents, he knew this was corporate usurpation.
After all, eliminating Gu Dai, the only direct heir, would make it easy for Gu Ming, a distant relative, to take over the company.
Family betrayal, parents’ misfortunes, a cruise accident leading to amnesia, and finally entering the Song family only to be mistreated—Gu Dai had endured it all.
Even he himself had mistreated her.
Memories of a timid yet constantly worried and loving young girl flashed in his mind, suddenly seeming distant, fading like a shadow.
“No, don’t, don’t go…” Song Ling muttered.
Seeing Song Ling’s reddening eyes and his hands forcefully rubbing his head, Zhao Xuan asked anxiously, “Mr. Song, are you alright? Should 1 call an ambulance? Hang in there!”
“I’m fine, don’t… Just help me get the amulet from my pocket,” Song Ling managed to say.
“Alright,” Zhao Xuan complied.
Song Ling took the amulet and held it to his nose, inhaling the calming scent deeply.
Zhao Xuan was stunned, staring blankly at Song Ling.
After a good while, Song Ling finally felt the headache easing.
He looked at Zhao Xuan and asked, “Have you found the legendary doctor yet?”
Shaking his head, Zhao Xuan replied, “Not yet. The miracle doctor’s whereabouts are unpredictable. The last time we tried to find him based on an address, we found out he had vanished again, said to have left the Capital.”
Song Ling nodded: “Mm.”
Upon hearing Song Ling mention the legendary doctor, Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked, “Mr. Song, is your headache a lingering effect from that incident years ago?”
Song Ling nodded again, “Mmhm.”
Seeing that Song Ling had no desire to elaborate, Zhao Xuan said, “Mr. Song, if there’s nothing else, 1’11 take my leave.”
Song Ling stopped him, instructing, “Focus your investigation on this Gu
Ming, and continue searching for the legendary doctor’s whereabouts.”
After a brief pause, Song Ling’s voice softened. “First, go investigate Gu Dai’s situation. Handle those other two matters afterward.”
Gu Dai opened the lunch box and saw layer upon layer of colorful and aromatic dishes. She exclaimed, “It looks so delicious!”
Su Ting’s cheeks turned a shade of pink as he shyly responded, “Sis, please try it. If there’s anything that doesn’t taste good, just let me know, and I’ll improve it.” contemporary romance
After taking a bite, Gu Dai praised, “Delicious!”
Surprised, Su Ting’s eyes widened incredulously, “Really?”
Gu Dai nodded: “Of course, come and sit down to eat.”
Once she finished eating, Gu Dai let out a satisfied burp and then told Su Ting, “You don’t have to bring me food anymore.”
Su Ting was startled and, after recovering, asked, “Why? Is there something wrong with what I’ve made?”
Gu Dai shook her head to indicate otherwise, explaining, “You’ve done very well, but preparing all these dishes must have taken a lot of time. I can get by with just a few bites at lunch; you don’t need to waste your time on me.”
Su Ting hurriedly spoke up, “Cooking for Sis is not a waste of time! 1 enjoy making meals for you, and you don’t need to worry about me; 1 have plenty of time lately!”
Gu Dai hesitated a little, “Is that so?”
Su Ting nodded vigorously, affirming, “Absolutely! So can 1 continue cooking for you?”
Meeting Su Ting’s pleading eyes, Gu Dai subconsciously agreed, “Alright.”
Realizing what she’d done, Gu Dai felt a bit bewildered. She hadn’t expected to be swayed by Su Ting so easily and, feeling a bit embarrassed, diverted her attention by unlocking her phone.
However, as soon as she opened it, she saw her name topping the trending search list..
