Chapter 244: Married Then Divorced
Translator: _Min_
Gu Dai pulled Yang Yi up, shielding her behind herself, and firmly said, “Don’t kneel or apologize. Don’t listen to what these people say.”
Gu Dai remembered Yang Yi from her last visit to Linxian Pavilion, standing not far away, so she recognized her as her employer. Yang Yi was stunned that her boss was now protecting her.
Yang Yi had a thousand words in her heart at this moment.
But Wang Lan spoke faster than Yang Yi could.
Looking at Gu Dai, Wang Lan questioned, “What are you doing?”
Gu Dai glanced at Wang Lan and calmly responded, “I’m helping someone you’re bullying.”
Wang Lan’s face darkened as she retorted, “This waitress disrespected a customer, don’t 1 have the right to reprimand her?”
Gu Dai gave Yang Yi a reassuring look as she attempted to explain, and spoke in her defense, “I trust her. She wouldn’t do such a thing.”
With a pause, Gu Dai continued, turning to Wang Lan, “Moreover, I believe you’re being overly sensitive and mistook her smile for mockery.”
Wang Lan’s eyes widened in anger at Gu Dai, “When you wanted to be with my son, you hid your true identity, serving me tea, doing laundry, cooking… Now that you have your eyes on another man, you’ve changed your tune. How disgusting!”
Gu Dai’s expression turned cold, her gaze fixating on Wang Lan. contemporary romance
She despised people bringing up her three years of memory loss, and Wang Lan’s reference to it only intensified her cold demeanor.
Wang Lan, intimidated by Gu Dai’s stare, involuntarily trembled before retorting in a shrill voice, “What? Am I wrong? Weren’t you the one desperate to marry my son?”
Gu Dai corrected firmly, “We’re divorced now.”
Yang Yi hadn’t expected Gu Dai to have been married, especially to someone from a family as difficult as this old lady’s, indicating the extent of bullying she must have endured.
Yang Yi thought it was good that Gu Dai had left such a family, clearly not worthy of her.
Wang Lan insisted, “Even if you’re divorced, 1 was your mother-in-law for three years. Is this how you treat me now?”
Gu Dai scoffed, “In three years, even a dog would earn my affection. The fact that I feel nothing for you only shows you’re less than a dog!”
Wang Lan was so furious she almost attacked Gu Dai, but hesitated, recalling past incidents of being hit.
Sheng Xin, who had been watching Gu Dai, felt a twinge of jealousy. She hadn’t expected anyone to be more beautiful than her.
Learning that Gu Dai was Song Ling’s ex-wife left her stunned.
Rumors had painted Song Ling’s ex-wife as unattractive and crude, a complete country bumpkin. Yet here, Gu Dai was beautiful, exuding an air of nobility, contradicting the rumors.
But what did it matter if she was beautiful? Sheng Xin thought Gu Dai might be brainless, and her family background was far inferior to Sheng Xin’s. There was no threat.
Sheng Xin looked down at Gu Dai with disdain and arrogantly said, “I can understand wanting to protect your colleague, but whether there was mockery or not, don’t we all know?”
Gu Dai’s eyes lowered slightly, quickly realizing Sheng Xin mistook her for a waitress. But her priority was to resolve the issue at hand.
Gu Dai asserted, “The restaurant has surveillance. Whether there was mockery or not, we can easily find out.”
Sheng Xin’s eyes flashed with panic but feigned composure, “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to check the surveillance.”
Gu Dai inwardly scoffed, insisting, “Let’s check it, to avoid wrongly accusing anyone.”
Wang Lan, furious, accused, “Gu Dai, what do you mean? Are you suggesting Xinxin and I would falsely accuse the waitress?”
Confused, Gu Dai inquired, “Xinxin?”
Wang Lan proudly pulled Sheng Xin closer, introducing, “My future daughter-in-law, Sheng Xin!”
Sheng Xin smiled smugly, casually flipping her hair to reveal a designer necklace on her neck, “Nice to meet you. I’m Sheng Xin, my father is the president of Sheng Media.”
Sheng Xin felt a surge of triumph as Gu Dai’s gaze lingered on her necklace.
Nonchalantly, Sheng Xin mentioned, “I asked a friend to buy this necklace from abroad recently.. I heard it’s the only one in the world!”
