Chapter 347: There’s no one behind this

Translator: _Min_ |

Song Ling, his words halted at his lips, glared at Gu Dai with a dark expression and gritted his teeth, “Fine, Gu Dai, you actually side with him!”

Gu Dai found Song Ling’s reaction perplexing. Su Ting was an employee of her company; why would she side with her ex-husband instead?

Gu Dai once again issued a dismissal, “If you have nothing else, please leave.”

Song Ling coldly stated, “I came to discuss the Suzhou embroidery cooperation.”

Gu Dai replied, “I’m sorry, I’m currently resting. We can talk about work matters later.”

Within a few short minutes, Song Ling faced several rejections, his pride deeply wounded. He left the ward with large, hurried steps.

Su Ting looked at Gu Dai, hesitated for a long time, then finally asked softly, “Sis, aren’t you curious about what Song Ling was about to say?”

Yawning, Gu Dai responded indifferently, “I’m not concerned. Besides, I trust you. If there’s anything, I prefer to hear it from you, not from others.”

After resting for two days and regaining her strength, Gu Dai returned to work at the office.

A knock on the office door interrupted her thoughts.

Seeing Meng Zhi enter, she asked in surprise, “Third Brother, what brings you here?”

Meng Zhi answered, “Daidai, I found out who drugged you.”

Gu Dai’s expression turned cold, “Who?”

Meng Zhi revealed, “Li Ying!”

Li Ying? Gu Dai furrowed her brows, trying to recall who this person was.

Meng Zhi helped her remember, “She was a contestant in the Suzhou embroidery competition, disqualified later for cheating.”

The image of Li Ying slowly materialized in Gu Dai’s mind.

During these days, she had considered several potential suspects but never Li

Ying, as she had never regarded her as a threat.

Gu Dai instructed, “I’ll arrange for someone to bring her here.”

Meng Zhi interjected, “No need, I’ve already had her brought here. She’s outside now.”

At that moment, Li Ying stood at the office door, confused, “Why have you brought me to Gu Group? Did you regret disqualifying me?”

The person who brought Li Ying spoke coldly, “You’ll find out soon.”

Li Ying scoffed, convinced that Gu Group had regretted their decision.

Determined, she thought, even if Gu Group begged, she wouldn’t join them unless they punished that special guest, preferably disfiguring her!

Li Ying entered the office and began, “I’m telling you, if you want me at Gu Group, just punish that woman…”

She halted, startled upon seeing Gu Dai, and shrieked, “What are you doing here!”

Gu Dai, relaxed in her chair, replied casually, “This is my office. Isn’t it normal for me to be here?”

Li Ying laughed dismissively, “This is the office of the Chairwoman of Gu Group. Unless you’re the young miss of the Gu family, how could it be normal?”

As Li Ying spoke, a realization dawned on her, disbelief etching her face.

Before Li Ying could say more, Gu Dai spoke lightly, “Coincidentally, I am the

Chairwoman of Gu Group, the ‘young miss’ you mentioned.”

Li Ying stood frozen, shaking her head in denial.

No, impossible! She thought Gu Dai was just a low-level employee, not the Chairwoman of Gu Group!

Gu Dai, wanting to cut the conversation short, pressed, “We’ve found out you were the one who drugged me. Tell me, who’s behind this?”

Li Ying, her mind in chaos, denied vehemently, “It wasn’t me, I didn’t drug you!”

Meng Zhi played the surveillance footage from the hotel, clearly showing Li Ying spiking the drink and bribing the waiter.

With her face pale, Li Ying had no choice but to confess, determined not to reveal Gu Ming, as that would leave her with no one to turn to.

She admitted softly, “Yes, I drugged you. I did it because I was jealous of you. There’s no one behind this.”

Meng Zhi presented a bank statement, “Your account received 5 million yesterday. That’s from the person behind this, right?”

Li Ying, suppressing her panic, claimed, “There’s no one behind this. That 5 million is from my family.”

Meng Zhi exhaled deeply, his question piercing, “Do you take me for a fool?”
