Chapter 89:1 came too late

Translator: _Min_

Wang Lan looked with terror at Meng Zhi, who was approaching her step by step, her eyes filled with fear. But she didn’t forget to threaten, “I warn you, my son is the President of the Song Corporation. If you dare lay a hand on me, he won’t let you off!”

Meng Zhi’s steps faltered slightly, and he spoke lightly, “The President of the Song Corporation?”

Wang Lan thought that Meng Zhi had been frightened, and a smug smile appeared on her face. Triumphantly, she said, “That’s right, my son is Song Ling. If you let me go now, 1 can have him overlook this matter. However, 1 have one condition—you must stay away from Gu Dai!”

Meng Zhi raised his fist, and without mercy, struck Wang Lan on her left cheek. Before she could react, he landed another blow on her right cheek, saying as he hit her, “1 will hit you! Since your son is so formidable, let him come find me. 1 want to see what he can do to me!”

Meng Zhi had come to know everything that Gu Dai had endured in the past three years. The more he found out, the more his heart ached, and the more he despised the Song family.

He had been wondering when he would be able to help Daidai take care of these scumbags, and he hadn’t expected to encounter the particularly vicious Wang Lan just as he had returned to the country. How could he possibly let her off?

Wang Lan had always been a wealthy lady, her physical activity was limited to shopping, and thus she was no match for Meng Zhi, who had been exercising regularly for years. She could only take the beating.

Gu Dai, feeling it had gone on long enough and fearing that any further harm might affect Meng Zhi, stepped forward and said, “Stop hitting her. She’s reached her limit.”

Meng Zhi nodded, pulling back his hand that was about to strike Wang Lan’s face again.

In fact, he didn’t want to let Wang Lan go; he wished he could kill her.

She had dared to treat Daidai, who had grown up pampered by him and his two brothers, so cruelly.

And he had not stopped it in time. Meng Zhi was overwhelmed with guilt and self-reproach.

He hung his head and spoke softly, “Daidai, I’m sorry. 1 came too late.”

Gu Dai shook her head and said earnestly, “Third Brother, don’t blame yourself. What happened wasn’t something we could have foreseen. And you were avenging me just now. I didn’t think you could be so fierce!”

Meng Zhi snapped back to reality, asking worriedly, “Daidai, did I scare you?”

He regretted his actions, thinking he should have avoided beating Wang Lan in front of Daidai.

Gu Dai shook her head again, replying seriously, “1 wasn’t scared, more like impressed.”

Meng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Gu Dai wasn’t scared but rather stunned. Although her Third Brother loved excitement and was somewhat arrogant, he always maintained a gentleman’s demeanor and rarely raised his hand.

This was the first time Gu Dai had seen Meng Zhi resort to violence, and it was so intense!

While Gu Dai and Meng Zhi were talking, and no one was paying attention to her, Wang Lan staggered to her feet and stumbled away, not without casting a hateful glance at the two.

After leaving the cemetery, Wang Lan immediately pulled out her phone to call Song Ling. Once the call was connected, she complained, “Son, I’ve been bullied by Gu Dai. You must come help me!”

Wang Lan’s face was swollen from the beating, and her speech was slurred. Song Ling had to ponder for a while before understanding what she had said.

Instead of agreeing to help Wang Lan, he said, “Didn’t 1 warn you not to seek her out?”

Wang Lan felt a twinge of guilt from Song Ling’s question, “Yes, but now that I’ve been bullied, you must…”

Wang Lan, enduring the pain, spoke at length but never heard Song Ling’s response. When she looked at the phone, she realized the call had been disconnected.

Furious, Wang Lan threw her phone to the ground, watching it shatter into pieces as she gasped for breath.

Song Ling walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked up at the foggy sky.

He had already received news of Wang Lan’s arrival at the cemetery but hadn’t expected her to be there to target Gu Dai.

What was Gu Dai doing in the cemetery? As an orphan, she shouldn’t have any relatives to visit.

Suddenly, Song Ling remembered his recent investigation into Miss Gu. If he recalled correctly, today was the anniversary of her parents’ death..
