Chapter 480: Same Idea
Translator: _Min_
Xu Huan watched Gu Ming leave cheerfully, lowering her gaze with a hint of loss in her voice, āToday is my 70th birthday, and instead of offering blessings, Gu Ming, my son, came to ask me for moneyā¦ā
Gu Dai looked at Xu Huan with sympathy and softly called out, āGrandmaā¦ā
Xu Huan shook her head, āIām fine, just a bit sentimental.ā
She quickly remembered the previous incident and urgently said, āDaidai, you and Su Ting go and take the money back from Gu Ming. Even if he disrupts the banquet, it doesnāt matter. Donāt suffer any loss because of this.ā
Gu Dai shook her head gently, āGrandma, donāt worry, Iāve already thought of a plan.ā
āReally?ā Xu Huan asked.
Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, āReally.ā
Hearing this, Xu Huan finally relaxed.
āGrandma, the banquet is about to start. You should change into your dress and get ready to make your entrance. Iāll go out and welcome the guests,ā Gu Dai said.
āAlright,ā Xu Huan responded.
As Su Ting followed Gu Dai out of the room, he stopped her to ask, āDaidai, are you planning to have someone snatch the money from Gu Mingās hands?ā
Gu Dai stiffened, incredulous, āHow did you know my plan?ā
Su Ting smiled, āBecause I thought the same and have already arranged for someone to do it.ā
Gu Dai nodded in understanding, āSo, we had the same idea. Since youāve already arranged for someone, Iāll just wait for the outcome.ā
āOkay,ā Su Ting nodded.
In the Gu familyās backyard.
Shi Nuan admired the surroundings excitedly, asking, āWho designed all this? Itās so beautiful. I want to hire this designer to make my home look this good!ā
A servant laughed and answered, āMr. Su Ting designed it.ā
Shi Nuan nodded in admiration, āI didnāt expect Su Ting to have such high aesthetic standards. Thatās amazing!ā
Meng Zhi listened to Shi Nuanās praises for Su Ting, feeling a twinge of jealousy. He scoffed lightly and then said indifferently, āI understand design as well. Iāll help with your home after the banquet.ā
Shi Nuanās eyes sparkled as she looked at Meng Zhi, nodding eagerly while expressing her surprise, āYou understand design too? Thatās impressive!ā
Meng Zhi had never dabbled in design before, but he didnāt want to seem inferior in Shi Nuanās eyes, āDesign isnāt difficult for me. The result will definitely look better than Su Tingās.ā
Shi Nuan was full of anticipation, āI canāt wait to see the finished product.ā
Meng Zhi nodded, āDonāt worry, youāll be satisfied.ā
However, after hearing Meng Zhiās words, Shi Nuan felt a bit panicked inside, with a bad premonition that Meng Zhi might mess things up.
āWhy are you staring at me? Do you feel unwell?ā Meng Zhi asked with concern.
Looking at Meng Zhiās smiling face, Shi Nuanās mind gradually drifted. She felt her earlier suspicion was just a misunderstanding.
With Meng Zhiās handsome appearance and bright smile, how could he possibly mess things up?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Suddenly, a womanās crying voice reached Shi Nuanās ears, āHuang Shan, I bore your children and always had my father support your business with his resources. Iāve been so good to you, and this is how you treat me?ā
Shi Nuan was startled and looked around in confusion.
She realized that she had been so focused on chatting with Meng Zhi that she hadnāt paid attention to her surroundings, not knowing where she had ended up.
Meng Zhi took Shi Nuan by the wrist and led her behind a tree.
There, they saw a woman holding a child, dressed in wrinkled clothes, disheveled, questioning a man dressed in a suit who looked respectable.
The man, referred to as āHuang Shanā by the woman, looked at her disdainfully, āI brought my secretary to the banquet for the sake of the Huang familyās reputation. Look at how rough you look. You donāt even dress normally. How can I be proud to have you by my side?ā
The woman was stunned, unable to believe his words, āYou once said I was the most beautiful person in the world. Why have you changed, youā¦ā
Huang Shan didnāt respond, but his secretary did.
The secretary said, āPresident Huang praised you because your father used to be able to help the Huang family. But now, the Huang family far surpasses yours, and you have no value to them.ā
The woman shook her head in denial, āNo, I donāt believe it. What youāre saying must be false.ā
She looked at Huang Shan with hopeful eyes, seeking his affirmation.
However, Huang Shan embraced the secretary, helplessly saying, āDarling, why did you tell her the whole truth?ā
