Chapter 252: When did I have a fiancee (This Chapter First)
Translator: _Min_
As Song Ling looked towards Gu Dai, he also noticed the internationally renowned actor Meng Chuan standing beside her, his gaze filled with hostility.
After her divorce from him, Gu Dai seemed to have an exceptionally good rapport with the opposite sex.
Song Ling knew that Gu Dai might not be involved with them, but it still pained his heart.
Sheng Xin followed Song Ling’s gaze and saw him looking at Gu Dai, her expression souring instantly.
Biting her lip and maintaining a forced smile, Sheng Xin spoke up, “President Song, what a coincidence to see you here. I’m dining here with your mother.”
Upon hearing Sheng Xin mention his mother, Song Ling finally noticed Wang Lan in the room.
Wang Lan, upon seeing Song Ling, stood up with a smile, eagerly saying, “Son, it’s good you’re here. This vile Gu Dai bullied your mother. Come and help me!”
Wang Lan looked defiantly at Gu Dai, believing she had found a strong backer.
Sheng Xin followed suit, vividly recounting the recent events.
The more Wang Lan heard, the sadder she felt, tears even welled up in her eyes, portraying a pitiful image.
Gu Dai thought to herself that had she not been the person involved, she might have believed these stories too.contemporary romance
She calmly met Song Ling’s gaze, pondering how to counter his accusations.
Song Ling withdrew his gaze, looked at Wang Lan with furrowed brows, and coldly said, “Rather than Gu Dai bullying you, it seems more like you’re bullying her.”
Wang Lan was stunned, not expecting Song Ling to say this.
Sheng Xin’s previously confident face froze, and she hastily tried to justify, “President Song, maybe you’re just tired from work and a bit confused…”
Song Ling’s attention remained partly on Gu Dai, who was talking to Meng Chuan. Feeling a burning rage inside, exacerbated by Sheng Xin’s words, he retorted, “What does my tiredness have to do with you? And how would you know if my thoughts are confused?”
Sheng Xin looked desperately at Wang Lan for help.
But Wang Lan, having been rebuffed by Song Ling, was in a bad mood and didn’t notice Sheng Xin’s plea.
Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh out loud, surprised by Song Ling’s remarks.
Song Ling, seeing Gu Dai’s laughter, felt her smile as radiant as spring flowers and slightly curved his lips.
Gu Dai sarcastically said to Song Ling, “So, you’re not only cold to your wife but impatient with your fiancee too.”
Song Ling, pleased to be talking with Gu Dai and not minding her mocking tone, was puzzled and asked, “Fiancee?”
Gu Dai nodded.
Song Ling grew more confused, “When did I have a fiancee?”
Meng Chuan chuckled, “Interesting. Nowadays, people don’t even know who their fiancee is.”
Gu Dai added, “Indeed, very strange. But I’m also curious about something. Sheng Xin and Jiang Yue were high school classmates. Now, Sheng Xin is with the man her friend likes. When they meet, isn’t it awkward? Can they still get along amicably?”
Song Ling suddenly understood, turning to look at Sheng Xin, then at Wang Lan.
Wang Lan, feeling guilty, lowered her head, unable to meet Song Ling’s gaze.
Sheng Xin, her hands tightly clutching her dress, her face tense, had never felt so humiliated in her life.
She quickly shifted the blame to Wang Lan, “It was Auntie’s idea.”
Wang Lan was startled, then said under Song Ling’s intense gaze, “Sheng Xin is such a good girl. Sooner or later, you two will be together, and isn’t that practically a fiancee?”
Song Ling was hearing this kind of reasoning for the first time, and it was simply absurd!
Wang Lan, seeing Song Ling’s dark expression, panicked inside, but having already spoken, she continued, “Son, just listen to your mother and get along well with Sheng Xin. She’s really a nice person.”
Gu Dai’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Wang Lan, angered, demanded, “What are you laughing at?”
Gu Dai replied, “Laughing at you.”
Wang Lan glared at Gu Dai, then quickly turned to Song Ling, “Did you hear that? Gu Dai is mocking me. Even now, won’t you stand up for me?”
Song Ling remained unmoved, coldly stating, “Your behavior deserves ridicule..”
