The waiter didnât respond immediately but smiled and said, â1 just fell and bled a little. Iâm fine, thereâs no need to go to the hospital.â
Gu Dai understood his concern right away, âDonât worry, Iâll cover the medical bills. You donât need to be concerned about the money.â
The waiter hastily waved his hand in refusal, âNo, no, no. I canât take your money. It was my fault for not doing my job properly and even startling you. You havenât even asked for compensation, how can you give me money? Besides, 1 can still walk on my leg; itâs just a scratch. Iâve fallen so many times since 1 was a child and nothing bad has happened.â
Gu Dai sighed in exasperation, taking another look at the waiterâs leg, she said earnestly, âYour leg has internal damage. It might look fine now, but if not treated in time, it will become incurable in two months, and the condition will only worsen.â
The waiter, upon seeing Gu Daiâs serious demeanor, began to waver, stuttering, âIs⦠is that so?â
Gu Dai nodded firmly, âYes!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The waiter, convinced, hurriedly said, âIâll go to the hospital right away.â
Elsewhere.
Song Yu hid in a bathroom stall, tears streaming down her face. She couldnât understand how things had turned out this way. Not only was Gu Dai unharmed, but she had also become the one blamed.
As Song Yuâs tears flowed freely, a womanâs voice suddenly emanated from the neighboring stall.
Gu Zhi spat, âDamn you, Gu Dai! Whatâs so great about you? How dare you play me like this? Once my father takes back the Gu Group, Iâll lock you up in a dark room and have someone beat you every day. Then, Iâll let you wish for death but wonât let you die!â
There was a chilling laugh in Gu Zhiâs voice by the end, sending shivers down oneâs spine.
But Song Yu felt no fear. Instead, a surge of excitement took over.
Ever since she found out that Gu Dai was the heiress of the Gu family, Song Yu had someone investigate the Gu family ties.
She knew the relationship between the Gu Ming family and Gu Dai wasnât good. She wanted to use them against Gu Dai. Unexpectedly, before she even found a reason to approach them, an opportunity had presented itself right in front of her.
Song Yu wiped the tears from her face, composed herself, and stepped out of the stall. She then knocked on the door of the stall where Gu Zhi was.
When Gu Zhi heard the knock, she immediately stopped murmuring about her plan against Gu Dai. After a few seconds, she asked loudly, âWho is it?â
Song Yu replied with a smile, âSorry to disturb you. 1 am Song Yu, the younger sister of the President of Song Corporation, Song Ling. I heard noises from this stall and wanted to check on the situation.â
Gu Zhi paused, murmuring, âSong Yu, the younger sister of the President of the Song Corporation, Song Lingâ¦â
After a few moments, Gu Zhi quickly exited her stall, saying excitedly, âYou, hello, I amâ¦â
Before Gu Zhi could finish, Song Yu interjected, â1 know who you are. Youâre Gu Zhi, the heiress of the Gu Group, right?â
Any shadow in Gu Zhiâs heart was instantly dispelled, replaced by sheer excitement. The Gu Group was a level below the Song Corporation in stature. The fact that Song Yu knew her stunned Gu Zhi, who hesitantly asked, âMiss Song, how do you know me?â
Inwardly, Song Yu coldly responded, Of course, Iâve done my research. If it werenât for Gu Dai, a woman like Gu Zhi wouldnât even be worthy of my acquaintance.
Though these thoughts raced through Song Yuâs mind, she maintained an excited facade, exclaiming, âYouâre so accomplished, and my mother always mentions you. I low could 1 possibly not know you? Iâve wanted to meet you for so long, but Iâve been too busy. I canât believe weâve finally met!â
Gu Zhi grabbed Song Yuâs hand, laughing, âItâs not too late for us to get acquainted now!â
But then her demeanor changed as she added, âHowever, my father is no longer the president of the Gu Group, and Iâm no longer its heiress.â
Song Yu knew the reasons but feigned surprise, asking, âOh? What happened?â
Gu Zhi nodded somberly, âI have a younger sister named Gu Dai. She returned after a three-year disappearance and, without any regard for my fatherâs three years of dedication to the company, took over his position as chairman. She even evicted our family from the villa.â
Song Yu hadnât expected Gu Zhi to be so manipulative, trying to use her as a pawn.
Luckily, Song Yu knew the real reasons and wouldnât fall for it.. After all, if someone was going to be used, it would be Gu Zhi by Song Yu!
