Chapter 153: Chapter 153 - 153: I’m willing to serve you

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai pondered for a moment and then spoke as if reluctantly, “If neither of those options works for you, then perhaps you can take care of some of my daily needs—like preparing my bath, for example.”

As soon as Gu Dai finished speaking, Gu Ming, Liu Min, and Gu Zhi simultaneously objected, “No way!”

Furious, Gu Zhi glared at Gu Dai, her voice shrill as she shouted, “This is an insult to me!”

Gu Ming and Liu Min didn’t speak, but they both nodded in agreement.

With a cold laugh, Gu Dai responded, “If you consider it an insult, then perhaps the countryside is the better option after all.”

With this sentence, Gu Dai turned to leave.

Panicked, Gu Ming quickly called out to stop her, “Zhizhi is willing to serve you; please don’t send her to the countryside.”

Hearing this, a glimmer of amusement flashed in Gu Dai’s eyes, but she maintained her icy demeanor. “Elder Uncle, that’s your decision, not hers. I’d like to hear what Gu Zhi has to say.”

Gu Zhi couldn’t believe that Gu Ming had actually agreed. Facing Gu Dai’s question, she hastily said, “I definitely won’t—”

Before she could finish, Gu Ming slapped her again, his voice low and stern, “If you don’t serve Gu Dai, are you willing to wake up early in the countryside, labor all day, and come home after dark? There’s not even a washing machine there; are you prepared to wash your clothes by hand? And don’t forget, Gu Dai also mentioned raising pigs. Those animals stink!”

Gu Ming’s words made Gu Zhi frantic, but she still protested, “But serving Gu Dai is humiliating!”

Gu Ming shot her a glance, his voice cold, “What’s so bad about being humiliated? Which successful person hasn’t endured some form of humiliation? At least in the capital, I can find a way to get you out from this life. If you’re sent to the countryside where there might not even be good internet, how will I contact you?”

Gu Zhi slowly began to calm down at those words.

Seeing that she had finally come to her senses, Gu Ming nodded approvingly and whispered, “Now go tell Gu Dai that you’re willing to serve her.”

Feeling utterly humiliated, Gu Zhi had no choice but to grit her teeth and say to Gu Dai, “I’m willing to serve you.”

Noticing that Gu Dai frowned at her tone, Gu Ming quickly whispered to Gu

Zhi, “Watch your tone.”

Suppressing her resentment, Gu Zhi reluctantly softened her voice, “I’m willing to serve you.”

Gu Dai hadn’t heard what Gu Ming whispered to Gu Zhi, but from Gu Zhi’s demeanor, she had a good idea. Nonetheless, she brushed it off and said, “Since you’re willing, come find me tonight.”

With those words, Gu Dai quickly got into her car and sped away.

Watching Gu Dai’s car disappear into the distance, Gu Ming’s expression darkened further.

Liu Min held the aggrieved Gu Zhi in her arms and grumbled, “Didn’t Gu Si say that Gu Dai’s car had crashed…”

“Shut up!” Gu Ming snapped, his voice icy. “We’re under surveillance here. We’ll talk about it at home.”

The trio left the Gu family villa and walked into the neighboring small house.

As soon as they entered, Liu Min couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t Gu Si say that Gu Dai had died in a car crash? Why is she still bouncing around, completely unscathed?”

Irritated, Gu Ming shot back, “You’re asking me, how would 1 know?”

After a moment of collected thought, Gu Ming spoke, “Gu Dai must have some powerful backers. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have walked away without a scratch.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door. An older man walked in and approached Gu Ming, whispering, “Master.”

Gu Ming nodded and asked, “What’s happened in the Gu family while I’ve been away?”

Li Shui reported with a bowed head, “One night, I saw Song Ling, the President of the Song family, driving over to see Gu Dai. However, it didn’t seem like they got along well.”

Gu Ming shot up from his seat and analyzed when he heard this, “It must be Gu Dai shamelessly clinging to President Song, making him uncomfortable. Ha, how disgraceful. She’s already started to rope in Song Ling for the sake of the Gu Group.”

Li Shui looked puzzled, as what he had seen seemed to be Song Ling coming to find Gu Dai but being kept outside, as if he was not well-received.

Li Shui opened his mouth to clarify, but Gu Ming didn’t give him the opportunity. “You can go now. If anything else happens, come report to me directly. I’ll transfer your salary for this month to your account shortly..”
