Chapter 403 - 403: Terminate the contract

Translator: _Min_ I

Caught off guard, Gu Dai was struck and fell to the ground.

Zheng Ming quickly helped her up, pulling out his phone in a panic, “Chairwoman Gu, hang in there, I’m calling a doctor right now!”

Gu Dai, feeling dizzy, barely managed to utter through slightly parted lips, “No need, I’m fine.”

Relieved to see Gu Dai still able to speak and her eyes clearing, Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Dai instructed, “Go and separate Lin Yu and Luo An.”

Lin Yu and Luo An, completely oblivious to having hit someone, were now kicking and punching each other, entangled in a fight.

Zheng Ming hurriedly had the bodyguards pull them apart. Despite being separated, they continued hurling insults at each other.

Upon arriving, Song Ling witnessed this chaos and asked with a stern face, “What are you doing?”

Luo An’s eyes lit up, eagerly telling Song Ling, “President Song, this Lin Yu slandered me, accusing me of cheating!”

Ignoring Luo An, Song Ling’s concern was for Gu Dai, who had a bruise on her forehead, “How did you get hurt? Let’s go to the hospital.”

Gu Dai brushed off Song Ling’s offered hand, her voice cold, “No need. Let’s discuss the termination of their contracts.”

Sheng Xin arrived soon after, a fleeting look of pleasure crossing her face upon seeing Gu Dai’s bruise, quickly masked by a composed expression.

She earnestly said, “It’s Lin Yu’s fault for fighting and breaching the contract. I’ll sign the termination right now.”

Sheng Xin promptly signed the termination contract as soon as she finished speaking.

Song Ling, without any delay, also signed the termination.

Lin Yu and Luo An were dumbfounded, incredulously asking, “Why terminate our contracts? It was just a dispute, isn’t this too much?”

Su Ting approached, his voice cold, “It’s necessary!”

He slapped the contracts against the faces of Lin Yu and Luo An, “The contract clearly states what you cannot do, and fighting is included. Any violation leads to termination!”

Fear made swallowing hard for Lin Yu and Luo An.

Su Ting asked, “And the injury on Daidai’s head, you did that, right?”

Lin Yu and Luo An paused, then realized that indeed during their scuffle, something they threw had hit her.

Lin Yu defensively argued, “It wasn’t on purpose. Why was she standing so close? If she’d been further away, how could I have hit her?”

Luo An quickly agreed, “Exactly, you can’t blame me for this!”

Su Ting’s expression grew colder, he glanced at them for a few seconds before turning to Gu Dai and softly said, “Daidai, I’ll take you home.”

Gu Dai nodded, “Okay.”

Song Ling followed Gu Dai, “Let me look at your injury.”

Gu Dai declined, “No need, I just want to go home and rest.”

Song Ling watched Su Ting supporting Gu Dai, his face ashen.

Even as Su Ting was about to leave, Lin Yu and Luo An’s hearts still trembled, a bad premonition lingering.

Song Ling glared at Luo An, “Let’s go.”

Sheng Xin, regaining her composure, adjusted her hair and smilingly said, “President Song, it’s rare that we meet. How about a drink together?”

Song Ling didn’t even glance at Sheng Xin, simply walking past her and leaving.

Sheng Xin’s smile froze, her expression turning sour.

Lin Yu followed Sheng Xin, hesitating before speaking softly, “Miss Sheng, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect my actions to cause such an impact.”

Sheng Xin scoffed lightly, her smile returning, “It’s fine. You did well this time. I’ll contact your agent to take good care of you, and the company will provide you with more resources.”

Lin Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Really?”

Sheng Xin nodded, “Of course.”

The incident where Lin Yu hurt Gu Dai was precisely what Sheng Xin had wanted to do but couldn’t. She felt exhilarated.

Sheng Xin’s view of Lin Yu improved, and with a smile, she said, “Come to my room tonight.”

Lin Yu was momentarily stunned, then quickly agreed, “Okay!”

He was now sure Sheng Xin really wanted to promote him, but a sense of unease lingered, feeling like something bad was about to happen.

Lin Yu asked, “Miss Sheng, about the variety show…”

Sheng Xin casually said, “I have a contract with Gu Group. Even though you’re terminated, I can replace you with someone else..”
