Meng Zhi, wearing a smile that reached Gu Dai through the phone, said in a doting tone, “Daidai, I’ve got a surprise for you. When it arrives, see if it’s to your liking. If not, Third Brother will find something else just for you.”
Gu Dai’s lips curled into a smile as happiness flooded her heart. Yet, her voice conveyed a gentle protest, “Third Brother, I really don’t need anything. You shouldn’t have gone through the trouble.”
Meng Zhi exclaimed, as he became emotional. “But 1 insist! 1 have only one sister. If not for you, who would I buy gifts for?”
He wished he could shower her with gifts to make up for the lost three years.
For a moment, memories swirled in Gu Dai’s mind, transporting her back to blissful days before the cruise ship incident.
Growing up, apart from her parents, her uncle from her mom’s side doted on her the most.
Without a daughter of his own, he treated Gu Dai as his precious gem. And her three brothers? They treated her no less than a cherished princess.
A glisten of tears formed in her eyes, which she discreetly wiped away, choosing to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Third Brother, are you and my elder brothers overseas right now?”
With a hint of excitement, Meng Zhi replied, “Daidai, all three of us are indeed abroad. Big Brother is deep into an experiment, while Second Brother is on a film set. I’m just lucky that I took a break from my covert training for a competition, or I would’ve missed the wonderful news of your well-being.” “Competition?” Curiosity sparkled in Gu Dai’s eyes.
Meng Zhi acknowledged, at the same time, asked in high spirits, “Daidai, take a wild guess at which spot Third Brother secured this time?” contemporary romance
Without missing a beat, she responded, “Given that Third Brother is among the world’s elite racers, you must have clinched first place!”
His laughter was heartfelt. “Spot on, Daidai! What would you like as a reward?”
She felt a familiar warmth. It reminded her of how her brothers would indulge her like she was still their toddler sister. Pondering on the reward, she playfully said, “I’d love to see that trophy of yours!”
“Wait a few days, and Third Brother will be home. You can do more than just see; you can hold it! By the way, Big Brother is engrossed in his research while Second Brother is at his film shoot. I’ll be sharing the news about you soon!” Swiftly, Gu Dai intervened, “Why not inform Big Brother and Second Brother once they wrap up their work? I wouldn’t want to distract them.”
With a stature akin to global icons, Big Brother Meng Si was a revolutionary scientist, owning patents in numbers that rival nations, and Second Brother Meng Chuan was a cinematic sensation.
Gu Dai didn’t want to interfere with their work because of her.
Meng Zhi, brushing her concern aside, assured, “It’s hardly a bother. They’d be elated to hear about you and might even perform better!”
As their conversation rolled on, Meng Zhi shared tales and updates and Gu Dai listened intently. Her soft chuckles and gentle remarks warmed the atmosphere.
To any outsider, the sight of Meng Zhi’s tender side would be astonishing. Many knew him as the assertive, fiery third heir of the Meng lineage.
Their chat was eventually interrupted by an incoming call for Gu Dai.
After bidding farewell and ending the call, Meng Zhi’s happy expression dissolved.
Battling rising fury, he swiftly ordered an inquiry into Gu Dai’s ordeals over the recent three years.
He then opened a private chatroom shared with his brothers. Typing swiftly, he wrote: “Big Brother, Second Brother, halt everything. Urgent news awaits! @Meng Si @Meng Chuan.”
Meng Si’s reply was short, “1.”(1)
But Meng Chuan playfully threatened, “Little Zhi, if you keep us in suspense, be prepared to be exiled!”
Meng Zhi, seeing the message, barely stifled a chuckle. Meng Chuan’s recent imperial role in a historical drama was evidently influencing his responses. Maybe it was time to advise his agent against roles promoting fraternal mischief.
Gathering his thoughts, Meng Zhi typed earnestly, “Daidai’s still with us. Spoke to her just now. She’s been through a lot these past years, and worse, she’s been bullied!”
Both Meng Si and Meng Chuan were visibly agitated after reading the message, their eyes blazing with fury and concern.
Meng Chuan’s fingers flew over his phone’s keyboard, “Who dared harm our dearest sister? I’ll get a break from filming to deal with those who crossed her. They won’t live to see another day!”
Meng Si’s response was equally stern, “Give me Daidai’s location. I need to be with her.”
Meng Zhi, noting their reactions, swiftly replied.
